BREAKING:
DEMOCRATS VOTE FOR GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN OVER ICE – The Democrats have voted against a DHS funding bill that effectively creates a government shutdown. They claim to be doing it to shut down ICE operations, even though it is clear ICE will NOT be affected by this shutdown. What WILL be shut down are services that are needed by people, including disaster relief from FEMA.

A. TRENDING
- EARLY ON, TRUMP WANTED EPSTEIN, MAXWELL PROSECUTED, RECORDS SHOW – Epstein court documents reveal President Trump was one of the first people to raise an alarm about Jeffrey Epstein. He did so in 2006 when he called the police to recommend that they investigate Jeffrey Epstein AND Gislaine Maxwell, whom he called evil. The transcript of the phone call reveals Trump suspected Maxwell of being Epstein’s “operative.” He also called her “evil.” The call happened shortly after the Epstein investigation began.
- AMERICA, UK LEADERSHIP STILL UNDER INCREASING EPSTEIN FILES SCRUTINY – Pam Bondi’s showdown with U.S. congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) highlights the growing GOP divide between those who think there’s something serious to the Epstein Files and those who don’t. President Trump’s disconnect from this issue appears to be leading his strongest supporters to want to follow the lead.
Thomas Massie isn’t the only congressmember pressing for a full disclose of the people involved in the “alleged” child sex trafficking and blackmailing for real political power ring, including Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Nancy Mace (R-SC), both of whom claim to have seen some of the unredacted names, names that are still powerful and well-known today.
Also connected to the Epstein files is the growing scandal in the UK that continues to threaten their Prime Minster, Keir Starmer, who continues to hold on even as top members of his cabinet have been forced to resign. His connection to the Epstein files is through allowing members of his cabinet, including his hand-picked U.S. ambassador, to continue to serve in government even after he KNEW they stayed connected to Epstein AFTER his conviction, a fact they had lied about to the public (but not to Starmer).
- XI SURVIVES COUP ATTEMPT, MAKES FIRST PUBLIC ADDRESS OF THE PURGE THAT FOLLOWED – Chairman Xi of China has finally publicly addressed the purge of most of his military leaders and political “allies” in response to what appears to have been a coup attempt by his second-in-command, Zhang Youxia. He addressed the military, stating, “The past year has been unusual and extraordinary, The People’s Army has deepened its political education, effectively addressed various risks and challenges and undergone revolutionary forging in the fight against corruption.”
While Xi has survived the coup, mobilizations within China suggest he has yet to fully restore stability. So far, none of the top spots have been replaced by anyone else. The purge leaves the military without seasoned Generals, and one of the few who has experienced combat, Youxia, is among the Generals that have been purged. As of right now, the conditions in China are still fluid by our assessment.
- AFTER CARTEL DRONE ATTACK, MEXICO APPROVES OF U.S. TROOPS ON THEIR SOIL – According to U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy, the FAA had to avert a serious cartel drone attack on U.S. soil. The FAA shut down airspace around El Paso immediately to allow for a military response to the attack. The Secretary said “The FAA and DOW acted swiftly to address a cartel drone incursion. The threat has been neutralized, and there is no danger to commercial travel in the region. The restrictions have been lifted and normal flights are resuming.”
After the attack, Mexico’s government passed legislation signed by President Sheinbaum that will allow U.S. troops to enter Mexico to go after the cartels. The vote in the Senate was 105 for, 0 against, and one abstention. The ruling specifically allows U.S. Navy SEALs to operate on their territory in pursuit of the drug cartels.
- FOREIGN NATIONALS ARE FUNDING DNC INSURRECTIONIST OPERATIONS THROUGH NON-PROFIT FRAUD – Witnesses testifying at a House Ways and Means Committee hearing are claiming that foreign nationals are illegally sending millions (if not billions) of dollars to bankroll DNC insurrectionist organizations.
Capital Research Center President Scott Walker said of the testimonies, “It’s refreshing to have a hearing where all witnesses share strong agreement on a central point, namely, foreign money should be kept out of American politics. A lot of these [foreign funding] problems involve America’s nonprofit sector, which is traditionally a glory and a strength of this exceptional country. But foreigners abuse this sector — especially tools like fiscal sponsorship and donor-advised funds, which aren’t inherently bad things — in order to hide their influence ops.”
- HOMAN ANNOUNCES END OF ICE MINNESOTA SURGE – Border Czar Tom Homan announced, “With that, and success that has been made arresting public safety threats and other priorities since this surge operation began, as well as the unprecedented levels of coordination we have obtained from state officials and local law enforcement, I have proposed, and President Trump has concurred, that this surge operation conclude. A significant drawdown has already been underway this week and will continue through the next week.”
“I’m very pleased to report that this surge operation and our work here with state and local officials to improve coordination and achieve mutual goals, as well as our efforts to address issues of concern here on the ground, have yielded the successful results we… came here for… Overall, we made a lot of progress through extensive engagement, meeting with them and other key stakeholders, and it is expected that those engagements and discussions will continue, going forward, to enhance exchange of information and more coordination.”
He also announced the rescue of more than 3,000 lost immigrant children during the operation, which was marred from day one by an alleged DNC-foreign-funded insurrectionist operation intended to interfere with the lawful execution of a Presidential order.

- TRUMP UNDERWATER WITH AMERICANS ON ECONOMY – A new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll shows Americans disapprove of Trump’s handling of the economy by 59% disapprove to 36% approve. The numbers have not moved substantively since December. More than half of the respondents also agreed that lowering prices should be the President’s top priority.
- GUN-FREE CANADA HIT WITH SCHOOL MASS MURDER BY MALE PRESENTING AS FEMALE – A Canadian transgendered male who transitioned to female has killed 9 people and injured 25 more others, with the bulk of the killings and injuries happening at the Tumbler Ridge Secondary School. The school is a few minutes outside of Vancouver, Canada.
The police were there within 2 minutes, but the shooter had already killed 6 people at the school, then he killed himself. The school was not armed. Citizens are not allowed to effectively possess guns for self-defense in Canada anymore. Read more about this shooting, including how the media tried to call the shooter a female instead of a transgendered male, on pg. 2 in our report, “Taking Guns and Tongues.”

- PBS PANEL ACCUSES “HITLERIAN” ICE OF PLOTTING TO STEAL 2026 ELECTION – PBS led the charge in insurrectionist propaganda this week when it left Boston Globe Columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr and Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker essentially spin a conspiracy theory that the Hitlerian ICE agents are going to make sure the Republicans win the 2026 midterms and finalize their fascist masterplan. This week was filled with DNC criminal media info-terrorist attacks on Americans. No arrests have been made, so far.
Stohr threw out the libelous invective. She claimed, “… I’m concerned about call—not denying that ICE will show up at election stations, that the call for this increasing redistricting, mid-decade redistricting in states in order to try to game the system. Elections are supposed to be sacred in any functioning democracy. And that the president of the United States is the one making the call to disparage them and try to rig the system is really alarming.”
Parker added to the info-terrorist attack in what we believe is her effort to signal to the DNC’s Antifa Army to continue their murderous assault on American ICE agents, “ “And he can’t let it go because I think he’s taken a page from Mein Kampf, frankly, you know, the saying that if you say—tell a big lie often enough and repeat it, then people will believe it. And the theory was further refined by the propaganda head in Nazi Germany, Mr. Joseph Goebbels. And the idea is, apparently, it’s true that—they would know, I guess—that people will believe a big lie quicker than they will believe a small lie.”

- NATURALIZED “CITIZEN” DEMOCRAT POLITICIAN THREATENS TO ARREST AMERICANS IF PROGMERICANS WIN BACK THE WHITE HOUSE – Foreign-born naturalized citizen U.S. representative Shri Thanedar (D) made it clear to Americans if his foreign-favoring party, the DNC-CCP, wins back the White House in 2028, the GOP will face arrests.
He struggled in broken English, sounding like a CCP Chairman excoriating his American enemy, threatening the Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott, yelling, “You better hope you get pardoned because you will be held accountable for the absolute disregard of the law your agencies have shown over the past year. Your agencies have lost the trust of the American people, with millions taking to the streets to protect the illegal actions of your agencies. And that’s why I introduce a bill in the United States Congress to abolish ICE. ICE must be abolished.”
The DNC’s House leader, Hakeem Jeffries, echoed this violent threat, saying, “One thing to understand as people who are flirting with the Trump administration, or doing the bidding of the Trump administration, or engaging in the pay-to-play schemes of the Trump administration: The statute of limitations is five years. Donald Trump and this toxic administration will be long gone, but there will still be accountability to be had.”
B. HEADLINES YOU MAY HAVE MISSED
- DNC VIRGINIA LOOKS TO DE FACTO ESTABLISH SHARIA – The DNC Insurrectionist State of Virginia is now working on a bill, SB 624, that would criminalize dissent of Sharia, Islamic Law, equating resistance to Sharia as a Hate Crime. Resistant to Islam in general would be deemed “Islamophobia,” which the bill would make a hate crime punishable by imprisonment, and death, should the offender resist arrest.

- CHINA DROPS HAMMER ON HONG KONG’S LEADING DISSENTER – China has made it clear to the people of Hong Kong that the CCP is fully in charge and any hint of democratic freedom is officially dead. The CCP has sentenced the freedom fighter and newspaper publisher Jimmy Lai to 20 years in prison. Lai is 78 years old, so the sentence is seen as a de facto death sentence. The judge gave him the harsh sentence because he accused Lai of being the mastermind behind the resistance to the CCP’s infiltration of Hong Kong.
- CANADA WANTS TO CRIMINALIZE FAMILY CONFLICT – Soviet Canada is looking to pass a bill that will essentially equip leftists to get their family members arrested if they don’t agree with their anti-human ideology. Bill C-16, the “Protecting Victims Act” would create a new classification of “crime” called “coercive or controlling conduct.” The bill appears to be intended to force Canadians to comply with the party’s orthodoxy at home or else be turned into the police by your own family members. The bill should be renamed the Secret Police bill.
Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis warned his constituents of the dark bill, telling them, “Do you think the government should criminalize everyday interactions in your home with your family? If not, you should read Bill C-16. The bill creates new offences… which are deeply concerning for normal, loving family interactions, based on a ‘pattern of coercive or controlling conduct,’ even when no violence, threats, or illegal acts occur. It criminalizes a pattern of otherwise lawful and often common behaviour that may later be perceived as threatening by an intimate partner.”

- PROGMERICAN JUDGE CUTS RAPIST-KIDNAPPER’S SENTENCE BECAUSE HE’S BLACK – Progmerican Judge Tracy Davis cut a rapist’s sentence in half because he is in African American. The judge cut a 65-year sentence down to 32 years for the convicted rapist kidnapper because he’s a “poor black man.” This is after he told her “I don’t have sympathy for nobody. I don’t have sympathy for you, the victim, the victim’s family, I don’t care. Boo hoo.”
- TEXAS HOUSE DEM EXPOSES RACIST IDEOLOGY OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY – Racist Texas House Democrat Gene Wu went on a tirade on a podcast where he made it clear he hates the white race and wants a new nation ruled by POCs at the expense of the whites. The insurrectionist Progmerican said, “The day the Latino, African American, Asian and other communities realize that they share the same oppressor is the day we start winning, because we are the majority in this country now, we have the ability to take over this country and to do what is needed for everyone and to make things fairer.”
