Letitia James may not be out of the woods yet, with federal prosecutors reportedly opening up a new probe into the New York attorney general involving financial transactions with her hairdresser. The feds are “opening a new front in their pursuit of one of President Trump’s perceived enemies,” The New York Times reported on Thursday, citing the usual anonymous sources described as “people with knowledge of the matter.” According to the paper, prosecutors are investigating the lawfare queen over the transactions with Iyesata Marsh, who has known James for years and was indicted in the U.S. District Court for the…

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced on Thursday that, starting today, the Trump administration will be pushing to restrict the ability of those who are receiving public assistance to wire money out of the country. The announcement follows President Trump ordering IRS and Treasury officials to expand their investigations of widespread welfare fraud in Minnesota as well as other states where billions of taxpayer dollars have allegedly been fraudulently obtained by recipients and then sent overseas. Bessent told Fox News, “If you’re on public assistance we’re going to start pushing that you CAN’T wire money out of the country,” and…
Protesters gathered outside the federal Bishop Henry Whipple Building in Minneapolis on Thursday, but events suggest the demonstration was anything but organic. Fox News host Laura Ingraham was on hand and asked a Democratic Party foot soldier protesting in the middle of the day, “Do you have a job?” To Ingraham’s surprise, the woman answered, “I’m getting paid right now!” ICE protesters in front of the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal building near Minneapolis today and Laura Ingraham got her to admit they are paid!! https://t.co/josKV3Swn7 pic.twitter.com/qR66VpNNMD — Pepe Deluxe (@deluxe_pepe) January 9, 2026 One likelihood is that the woman may…
President Donald Trump reacted with fury Thursday when five Senate Republicans voted with Democrats to block him from conducting additional military action in Venezuela without congressional approval.

ATLANTA- Two teams, fighting two different narratives on Thursday night in the CFP semifinals, put on a show that will be talked about for years to come. Now, not only are the Miami Hurricanes headed home, but they will be playing for a national championship. For Ole Miss, an unforgettable season came to an end in Arizona. We have discussed the mental fortitude of these two teams for nearly two months, wondering whether Ole Miss could rally after their head coach bolted for a rival school, while Miami fought for their spot back in the relevance of college football lore. We questioned…
Atlantic Hurricane Season 2025 By Paul Homewood The Atlantic hurricane season, which officially ended on 30th November, was quieter than normal, with five hurricanes, compared to a long-term average of 7.2. By far the most complete and robust data we have for hurricanes is for those which have hit the US coast. The US Hurricane Research Division, which is part of the Federal agency NOAA, have data going back as far as 1851. According to them, hurricane data is pretty reliable since the 1880s, when the coastline became settled. No Atlantic hurricanes at all have hit the US this year. The graphs…

Protesters took to the streets of New York City in a show of solidarity with law-defying Democrats in Minnesota, after the Big Apple’s communist mayor distorted the truth to claim an ICE agent “murdered a woman in Minneapolis—only the latest horror in a year full of cruelty.” The Democratic Party base is being radicalized by over-the-top rhetoric from elected leaders within the party opposed to the enforcement of U.S. immigration laws — the extreme opposition effectively inciting violence in the streets. On cue, protesters in NYC openly called for the hanging of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and the execution…

CO2’s role in climate change is too small to detect in error-ridden attribution measurements. Downward longwave radiation (DWLWR) at the ocean surface “is among the most important components of the heat flux across the ocean-atmosphere interface, which, in turn, shapes the climate state of both the atmosphere and the ocean” (Peng et al., 2025). According to canonical anthropogenic global warming (AGW) “science,” in an imaginary-world atmosphere where no clouds exist it takes 10 years, or a 22 ppm increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration, to enhance DWLWR by just 0.2 W/m² (Feldman et al., 2015). The annual clear-sky forcing change from…

Just as MS-13 thug Kilmar Abrego Garcia was dishonestly branded as “Maryland man,” so is Renee Nicole Good being portrayed as an “innocent mom,” but the truth is already coming out about the Democratic Party’s new martyr. Good was killed by a United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer on Wednesday after she allegedly tried to run him over with an SUV, the culmination of months of increasingly aggressive behavior by activists that was inevitably going to turn deadly. Democrats and their media allies rushed to capitalize on her death by whipping up hysteria, appealing to the irrational emotion…

https://irrationalfear.substack.com/p/greenlands-ancient-melt-the-bombshell New Nature Paper Reveals Holocene Hotter Than Today… Without CO2 By DR. MATTHEW WIELICKI Excerpt: A brand-new paper published in Nature Geoscience on January 5, 2026, about Greenland’s Prudhoe Dome. This ties directly into what I’ve called the “Greenland Warming Paradox,” which I detailed in a previous article. In short, Greenland has been dramatically warmer in the past… like during the Holocene Thermal Maximum 9,000 to 5,000 years ago, when temperatures were 4–8.5°C higher than today, yet sea levels were lower. This challenges the alarmist claims that modest modern warming will drown the world. The new paper reveals that Prudhoe…
What is going on in The People’s Republic of Minnesota? The Democrat establishment in the Gopher State is nothing like it was back in the Reagan years, with ex-vice president Walter Mondale or Gov. Rudy Perpich. The insurrectionist echoes of their language about immigration-enforcement cops is eyebrow-raising in the same week the elitist media somberly mourned the attack on police at the January 6 riot. On January 7, activist Renee Nicole Good used her car to try and block traffic to resist ICE agents. When she refused requests to step out of the car and instead drove her car into…

Whoever Writes the Check? Marjorie Taylor Greene is reportedly auditioning for a seat on The View as the show seeks a new guest. It would mean millions for her, and she could reveal all her grievances against President Trump and Republicans in general. When challenged by Behar whether she should join the Democratic party over her family-first ideals, she declined but also refused to answer whether she will remain a Republican now that she’s no longer in Congress. So much for her commitment to making America great. Previously, she said she was not going to become a Democrat. Greene, who…

ER Editor: Dumping hard drugs on a population or country has always been a sure fire way to destroy it bit by bit. The cabal’s Opium Wars on China were a case in point, or the CIA’s flooding of drugs into the Sixties youth culture. Vancouver (‘Hollywood North’), a jewel of a city yet pretty cabal-infested we’ve come to learn, has been a target for this type of drug policy over the last couple of decades at least. And its population is woke enough to have tolerated it to the nth degree. We’ve covered this HERE. Premier David Eby, a…
In another big announcement from the Trump Administration, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced on Wednesday, January 7, that his Department of Transportation would be yanking away a whopping $160 million from California because it has failed to revoke the thousands of Commercial Driver’s Licenses (CDLs) that it had illegally issued to illegal aliens. As background, a number of high-profile, deadly accidents on American roads caused by illegal aliens who were issued CDLs by blue states like California have led to the Trump Administration cracking down on the CDL matter, particularly as catching them on the roads is a great…
In a viral moment from a January 7, 2026, House Oversight Committee hearing probing multibillion-dollar fraud in Minnesota’s social programs, which has been linked to Somali immigrants, Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) aggressively questioned Democratic witness Brendan Ballou, a former DOJ prosecutor and Minnesotan. Throughout the clip, Gill pressed Ballou on whether large-scale Somali immigration strengthens Minnesota, pointing to high welfare use and poor English proficiency. Absurdly, Ballou claimed Somalis make the state “certainly stronger,” objected to “native Minnesotan” terminology. Starting off the interrogation, Rep. Gill began,” Let me ask you, does large-scale Somali immigration make Minnesota stronger or weaker?” Ballou…
In a horrible and chilling incident in Minnesota on Wednesday, January 7, an agent with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was allegedly attacked by a “legal observer” who is accused of trying to run him over with her car, sending him to the hospital, and defended himself with deadly force. In response, Democrats, including Chuck Schumer and AO,C went berserk and attacked the agent. President Trump, posting about the matter on Truth Social, stood by the agent and argued that it was a clear case of necessary self-defense. “I have just viewed the clip of the event which took place…
U.S. Senate Republicans met for a hearing on January 7, 2026, making the case that GOP House members should push forward impeachment articles against “rogue” judges, after President Donald Trump and many of his allies have made calls to remove those judges from the bench who have seemingly placed partisan politics above the rule of law. Democrats wasted no time in lambasting the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee’s Republican majority for holding the hearing, which had been postponed twice. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) claimed that the hearing was part of an “effort to try to intimidate the judiciary into not ruling…
In another huge move from President Donald Trump, he urged lawmakers in Congress to pass the SAVE Act, which was passed by the House of Representatives in 2025, but not the Senate. The bill would, if passed, require proof of United States citizenship to vote in American elections. Beginning his comments to Congress on the matter, the president demanded that the legislators pass a Voter ID law to combat what he suspects to be voter fraud in blue states and cities, saying that the legislators should insist on such a law. He said, “You ought to have voter ID. You…
In an appearance on Fox News, Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) praised President Trump’s military operation that captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro on January 3, calling it “surgical, precise, and efficient” and a “good thing” that his fellow Democrats should celebrate despite partisanship. Additionally, he highlighted prior Democratic criticism of Maduro, which included Biden’s $25M bounty, the suffering under his socialist regime that drove over 500,000 Venezuelans to the U.S., and Venezuelans now celebrating. Closing out his comments, Fetterman saluted the military. Starting his comments, the Democratic senator said, “I don’t know if you’re saying it’s like, yeah. I mean, for…
Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) delivered a scathing takedown of Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz, his administration, and even local media outlets during comments captured on video in a clip that is now going viral all across social media. The central focus of Emmer’s statements revolve around the discovery of massive fraud in the state’s Medicaid program, child care funding, and other various programs that have resulted in billions of taxpayer dollars going for practically anything other than their intended purpose. Emmer kicked off his statement by saying, “Good riddance to Gov. Walz, but he cannot escape accountability for the estimated…

In an absolutely awesome post on Truth Social that shows how his administration is rising over the din of criticism from right and left to help the American people, President Donald Trump revealed that he is taking steps to work with Congress and ban institutional investors from buying up single family housing, vowing that more details will be coming soon. As background, many on the populist side of politics have pointed to big investors and funds like those run by infamous private equity shop Blackstone as having increased the cost of single family housing, pushing it outside the reach of…
In a breaking announcement, President Trump said in January 2026 that a federal fraud investigation into California under Gov. Gavin Newsom is underway, claiming it surpasses Minnesota’s scandals. It highlights DOGE findings of $382M in fraudulent unemployment payments since 2020 ($305M in CA), a $180M education fraud audit at Highlands Charter Schools Similarly, many critics drew attention to the indictment of Dana Williamson, the former Newsom chief of staff, on corruption charges, improper welfare and unemployment payouts, and intra-Democratic criticism from Rep. Ro Khanna, who called for audits amid billions in waste. Similarly, famous golfer Phil Mickelson criticized CA’s fraud…
Conservatives slammed failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for libel after she took to, formerly, Twitter to attack Trump for supposedly urging supporters to attack the Capitol on January 6, 2021, injuring over 140 officers, then pardoning the rioters. However, clips from the time show Trump calling for peaceful protest. Additionally, footage from Nancy Pelosi shows the Democrats denying his request to call in the National Guard and admitting responsibility for the security failure. In her wild comments, Clinton alleged, “Five years ago today, Donald Trump urged his supporters to attack Congress and the Capitol over a proven lie. More than…

Zohran Mamdani seeks to replace American rugged individualism with the “warmth of collectivism.” So too did Benito Mussolini of Italy. In his 1932 short essay The Doctrine of Fascism, Mussolini explained his Fascist ideal, writing: Fascism has “an ideal content which elevates it into a formula of truth in the higher region of the history of thought.” “There can be no conception of a State which is not a conception of Life … a system of ideas which … concentrates itself in a vision or a faith…” “Anti-individualistic, the Fascist conception of life stresses the importance of the State and…
President Trump’s decisive action against the illegitimate Maduro regime in Venezuela has focused world attention on the Western Hemisphere. This is all to the good, as the Trump administration has made clear the priority Washington attaches to its own neighborhood. The recent National Security Strategy emphasized that after three decades of counterproductive wars in the Middle East and South Asia, this administration would prioritize defense of the American homeland and our own hemisphere. It further established the “Trump Corollary” to the Monroe Doctrine, holding that “extra-hemispheric powers” (think China, Russia, and Iran) would not be permitted to meddle in the…
The massive US military operation ordered by President Trump to apprehend former Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and his wife from their heavily guarded residence was a game-changer for regional and global security. The Trump administration’s next steps will be crucial to ending the threats from Maduro’s criminal regime without repeating the disastrous nation-building effort in Iraq after the second Gulf War. The operation to capture Maduro removed a narcoterrorist dictator from power and set the stage for the US to restore stability and security to the Western Hemisphere by ending the flow of narcotics, criminal gangs, and illegal migrants into…
Earth’s oceans absorbed unprecedented heat last year, intensifying hurricanes, floods and droughts while driving sea levels higher.(CN) — The world’s oceans absorbed more heat in 2025 than any year on record, providing the fuel for extreme weather that killed thousands of people across the globe, according to researchers of a study published Friday in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences.The amount of heat the oceans soaked up last year is difficult to comprehend: 23 zettajoules more than 2024. That’s roughly the same amount of energy the entire world uses in 37 years.Think of it this way: If you took every power plant,…

Gov. Mike Dunleavy then issued a verbal disaster declaration, which local authorities note will expedite access to state resources for preparation and response to…
In heated moments when a national story becomes “the thing,” and everyone takes hard sides, it helps to drain emotion and focus on what happened. That’s something that most mainstream outlets cannot do anymore, and all they do is inflame tensions further. That’s part of the problem in Minnesota; the other part is ridiculous rage at government officials.Let’s start with the Minnesota ICE shooting by clearing one very important hurdle: we’re missing critical information. The most important information we need is body-cam footage from the ICE agents on the ground. Seeing things from their vantage point solidifies every key fact…
The NFL is dragging a messy discrimination fight straight to the Supreme Court, hoping to dodge a jury trial that could expose some uncomfortable truths. The league, alongside the Denver Broncos, Houston Texans, and New York Giants, has petitioned the highest court to overturn a lower ruling allowing coach Brian Flores’s lawsuit, which alleges systemic racial bias in hiring practices, to move forward before a jury instead of behind closed arbitration doors. If the NFL loses, expect a flood of lawsuits challenging their internal processes, and guess who might foot the bill for those legal battles? That’s right, the same…

Progressive activists are gearing up for another swing at President Donald Trump with a fiery impeachment campaign that’s got the political pot boiling over.As the midterm elections loom, a coalition of advocacy groups like Citizens’ Impeachment, the Removal Coalition, Free Speech for People, Women’s March, and the 50501 Movement is ramping up efforts to push Congress into drafting new articles of impeachment against Trump and senior administration officials over what they call an “illegal and unconstitutional” military strike on Venezuela.

President Donald Trump is asking a Georgia judge to hand over a hefty $6.26 million to cover legal fees from a dismissed criminal case that many conservatives see as a politically charged witch hunt.This saga revolves around Trump’s defense against a now-defunct prosecution in Fulton County over an alleged plot to challenge the 2020 election outcome, a case that crumbled after the lead prosecutor was disqualified and a replacement opted not to pursue charges in late November 2025. For Georgia taxpayers, this isn’t just courtroom drama—it’s a potential financial burden if the state ends up footing a multi-million-dollar bill for…
Uncle Sam is stepping into the Venezuelan oil game with a firm grip on the wheel.After the dramatic ousting of President Nicolas Maduro by U.S. forces, the Trump administration has unveiled a bold strategy to revive Venezuela’s oil industry, take charge of its sales and revenue through American-managed accounts, and open the door for U.S. oil companies to operate there. Let’s start with the weekend, when President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. would “take control” of Venezuela after Maduro’s removal. That wasn’t just rhetoric; it laid the groundwork for a major policy shift. Energy Secretary Unveils Ambitious Strategy By…
