1. TRUMP’S 2020 ELECTORS FULLY FREE FROM PROSECUTION AFTER MICHIGAN DA SURRENDERS – Michigan DA Dana Nessel has decided she will not pursue charges against 16 Trump electors from the 2020 election who attempted to claim they should be recognized as the real delegates because the election was stolen. The Trump electors were charged with election fraud, a charge that doesn’t stick, as a district court judge ruled, saying they were being charged for freedom of speech, not for committing fraud.

Now, after looking for ways to defy the district judge’s ruling, the DA has given up the fight. She claimed, “My office did not reach this decision lightly, though after a thorough assessment of the resources and time required to pursue justice in these cases, the pace and difficulty with which various courts have dealt with criminal violations of election law, and our likelihood of success given stringent appellate review standards, I have decided not to pursue an appeal.”

2. OIL REFINERY AND NUCLEAR POWER PLANT APPROVED IN SAME WEEK – President Trump is overseeing the return of American energy sovereignty through the construction of new oil refineries and nuclear power plants. The Biden administration had begun the process of reactivating nuclear energy by completing the construction of a nuclear power plant in George in 2024. It was the first nuclear reactor to be built in America in over 30 years.

Now, President Trump has overseen the approval of an oil refinery in Brownsville, Texas, and the construction of a first-of-its-kind nuclear reactor in Wyoming. The oil refinery is the first approved building of a new refinery in America in over 50 years. This same week, the nuclear power plant received its approval to build the nuclear reactor. With the need for energy for AI machines, nuclear power is sure to move to the fore of future energy planning, especially micro-reactors for individual AI machines.

3. NEPALESE ELECT FORMER RAPPER TO BE THEIR NEXT PM – The Gen Z revolution of Nepal has now culminated with a sweeping victory for a new party led by former rapper Balendra Shah. His party is set to replace the ruling party of the past few decades, the Communist Party of Nepal. Shah’s party has won super majorities in both the direct-vote seats of the parliament as well as the proportional representation seats. The Communist Party has fallen from majority party status to fringe 3^rd party status in this one election.
4. INDIANA LAW PREVENTS CHRISTIANS FROM BEING BANNED FROM ADOPTION AND FOSTER CARE – Republican Indiana Governor Mike Braun has officially signed into law a bill that will protect people of Faith from being excluded from adoption and foster care. The bill is primarily aimed at democrat-controlled local governments that are attempting to freeze Christians out of the adoption/foster care process because of their opposition to indulging children’s sexuality or gender fantasies.
5. PROGMERICAN JUDGE GETS APPEALS COURT REBUKE AFTER ATTEMPT TO BECOME CHICAGO’S SELF-APPOINTED IMMIGRATION CZAR – An Obama-appointed Judge, Sara Ellis, got a verbal beatdown from the 7^th Circuit Court of Appeals, accusing her of “effectively establish[ing]” herself “as the supervisor of all Executive Branch activity in the city of Chicago.” The court shut down her effective effort to control the Federal Immigration policies for the city of Chicago and its surrounding communities.

Parts of her initial order included a requirement the DHS give her a daily brief of all their activities in the city, to assure compliance, They also include preventing federal agents from “using hands-on physical force such as pulling or shoving to the ground, tackling, or body slamming’ anyone who is not causing an immediate threat of physical harm to other…” It also ordered that anyone calling themselves a journalist should be allowed to stay in an area, even if a dispersal order is lawfully given.

6. TRUMP FORMS 17-NATION COALITION TO JOIN WAR AGAINST CARTELS – President Donald Trump announced the formation of a 17-nation pact committed to defeating the drug cartels in the Americas. The pact was announced at an event at Trump National Doral called “the Shield of the Americas summit.” These are the members of the coalition: Argentina, El Salvador, Colombia, Brazil, Peru, Chile, Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Ecuador, Paraguay, Uruguay, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Bahamas, and Belize. Notably missing from this list is Mexico, which is close to civil war thanks to the activity of the cartels in that country.
7. D.C. COURT STRIKES DOWN D.C. GUN LAW – The D.C. Federal Court of Appeals panel ruled 2-1 that Washington, D.C.’s ban on gun magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds was unconstitutional. Trump appointed Judge Joshua Deahl wrote in the judgment, “Magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition are ubiquitous in our country, numbering in the hundreds of millions, accounting for about half of the magazines in the hands of our citizenry, and they come standard with the most popular firearms sold in America today.”
8. FULTON COUNTY JUDGE RULES FANI WILLIS “WHOLLY DISQUALIFIED,” WILL HAVE NO SAY IN TRUMP LAWSUIT – President Trump’s efforts, along with his co-defendants, to win a civil lawsuit against Fani Willis’ Prosecutor’s Office, won’t be affected by Fani Willis herself. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ruled Fani Willis was “wholly disqualified” from being involved in this case at all, and therefore, she will not be allowed to participate in any capacity in the proceedings of the civil trial.
9. DEMS HATE ICE, THE COUNTRY HATES DEMS MORE – The Democrat Party hates ICE so much they regularly compare them to Nazis. With aid from the DNC’s agit prop machines (the corporate media), this Nazi narrative has MOST significantly eroded support for ICE. Though criminally exaggerated by the DNC media, in many instances, legitimate mistakes have been made by ICE which have also helped erode that support. The pressure on local communities due to the creation of deportation centers alone can take credit for much of that eroded support.

Despite all the DNC’s marketing advantages, however, the DNC is LESS popular with Americans than ICE is, with the Democrats hitting a 30% approval rating while ICE soars in comparison at 38%. There were 14 categories on the list; The Democrats finished ahead of only two, AI and Iran. President Trump and Pope Leo were tops with Trump at 41% and Leo at 42%. The poll was from NBC news.

10. IRANIAN WOMEN’S SOCCER PLAYERS SAVED FROM FACING DYING REGIME – Five of the Iranian national women’s soccer team players have been granted asylum in Australia. This comes after Australia originally signaled it would not grant the women asylum. President Trump put social media pressure on Australia, and even invited the women to the U.S. should Australia let them down.

The women were at risk of being killed when they got home after protesting the regime during a soccer match in Australia. The women refused to sing along with the country’s national anthem. Afterwards, eyewitnesses said they were hand signaling to people they needed to help. Australia’s Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke declared on X, “Last night I was able to tell five women from the Iranian Women’s Soccer team that they are welcome to stay in Australia, to be safe and have a home here.”

11. APPEALS COURT STRIKES DOWN ORDER ENDING DEPORTATIONS TO “THIRD COUNTRIES” – After another Progmerican judge, District Judge Brian Murphy, attempted lawfare sabotage of Trump’s deportation program, a 3-panel appeals court paused that stay for full court review. Murphy ruled that the Trump administration could not deport illegals to “third countries.” The 3-judge panel ruled “after careful review” a temporary pause of the order “is appropriate.” They promised to follow up with a prompt ruling, which indicates the high probability the ruling will officially strike down the unconstitutional effort at lawfare sabotage by a Progmerican judge.
12. EEOC ENDS TRANS WOMEN IN FEDERAL SINGLE-SEX BATHROOMS – The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity commission (EEOC) voted to reverse the Biden administration’s policy of allowing transgender women into women’s federal single-sex bathrooms. The commission voted 2-1 to affirm an appellate ruling nullifying the Biden administration’s use of Title VII to justify the policy change.

EEOC Chair Andrea Luca said of the decision, “Today’s opinion is consistent with the plain meaning of ‘sex’ as understood by Congress at the time Title VII was enacted, as well as longstanding civil rights principles: that similarly situated employees must be treated equally. When it comes to bathrooms, male and female employees are not similarly situated,” she added. “Biology is not bigotry.”

1. AMA ABANDONS TRANS SURGERIES FOR KIDS – The American Medical Association, a bastion of Progmericanism, has conceded the battle against children by announcing it no longer supports transgender surgery for children. The association stated, “the evidence for gender-affirming surgical intervention in minors is insufficient for us to make a definitive statement…the AMA agrees with ASPS that surgical interventions in minors should be generally deferred to adulthood.”

This followed up this comment from the organization in 2021, “The American Medical Association (AMA) today strengthened its established position opposing the governmental intrusion into the practice of medicine that is detrimental to the health of transgender and gender-diverse children and adults. Legislatures in 20 states this year proposed banning physicians and other health care professionals from providing medically necessary gender-affirming care to transgender and gender-diverse youth…”

2. DEMOCRACY SUPPORTS ICE DEPORTATIONS, DEMOCRATS – According to the Democrats’ standards, “Democracy” is America’s central value. As such, news that Americans OVERWHELMINGLY support deporting illegal aliens (61 to 34 percent according to a Cygnal poll) is sure to cause the Democrats to stop calling for ICE agents to be terrorized by their insurgent army.
3. WASHINGTON POST GETS EVISCERATED, INCLUDING SEASONED “JOURNALISTS” – The Washington Post announced another round of massive cuts, this time of 30% of its staff. This includes 300 of its reporters, including a few seasoned ones. Among those journalists include every reporter and editor that covers the Middle East.

The former executive editor of the Washington Post, Marty Barron, commented on the announced cuts, saying “This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world’s greatest news organizations. The Washington Post’s ambitions will be sharply diminished, its talented and brave staff will be further depleted, and the public will be denied the ground-level, fact-based reporting in our communities and around the world that is needed more than ever.”

4. UN CHIEF BEGS MEMBERS FOR CASH TO KEEP PROJECT ALIVE – After the dust has settled post-Davos, it appears the great ecumenical project, the United Nations, might not make it out of the room alive. The UN’s Secretary-General António Guterres sent an urgent missive out at the end of January of 2026 to ALL 193 member nations. The letter warned of an “imminent financial collapse” should the member nations not kick in more funds IMMEDIATELY. The UN has $1.56 billion in outstanding dues, which has doubled from the previous year.
5. TRUMP, GOP BUILD MASSIVE WAR CHEST LEAD OVER DNC AHEAD OF 2026 ELECTIONS – The RNC has $95 million cash in hand compared to the DNC, which has $14 million cash in hand, but $17 million in debt. The RNC is also debt-free. As of the end of 2025, Trump’s Super PAC, MAGA Inc., has raised $289 million in 2025 alone. MAGA Inc. is the biggest Super PAC, with Fairshake, a “Pro-crypto” Super PAC, coming in second at $194 million. A distant third was Leading the Future, a Pro-AI Super PAC, coming in at $39 million.
6. AMERICANS DEFEAT NEW SANCTUARY COUNTY IN ROCKLAND COUNTY – Disconnected leaders in Rockland County, NY thought their constituents would approve of their county becoming a sanctuary city for illegal aliens. The proposal looked to go through until Rockland County residents showed up in the hundreds to assure their leaders didn’t move to choose foreigners’ best interests over Americans’ best interests.

The call by GOP lawmakers set off the alarms that inspired the immediate, strong reaction from the citizens needed to quell this act of insurrection before it ever started. The GOP legislators warned, “This legislation prioritizes ideology over safety, weakens cooperation between levels of government, and places unnecessary financial and security burdens on our community. Ultimately, sanctuary counties fail the most basic responsibility of government: protecting the public. No political statement is worth compromising safety, accountability, or the rule of law.”

7. ROUTH GETS LIFE FOR TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT – After being found guilty of attempting to assassinate President Trump, Ryan Routh has been sentenced to life in prison. U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon gave the prosecution the sentence they asked for. Prosecutors argued, “Routh’s crimes undeniably warrant a life sentence—he took steps over the course of months to assassinate a major Presidential candidate, demonstrated the will to kill anybody in the way, and has since expressed neither regret nor remorse to his victims.”
8. TRUMP WINS IN COSTA RICA – President Donald Trump’s preferred candidate for Costa Rica’s Presidential race has won her campaign. Laura Fernandez, a populist conservative for the Sovereign People’s Party, beat her far left rival, Alvaro Ramos of the National Liberation Party 48% to 33%. Fernandez was favored by President Trump. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated, “Under her leadership, we are confident Costa Rica will continue to advance shared priorities to include combating narco-trafficking, ending illegal immigration to the United States, promoting cybersecurity and secure telecommunications, and strengthening economic ties.”
9. TARIFFS MOVE U.S. STEEL TO THIRD IN WORLD – Thanks to the steel tariffs enacted by President Donald Trump, the U.S. Steel industry is on the rise. After decades of decline that saw Japan pass the U.S. in 1999, the industry is seeing expansions it hasn’t seen sine then. Now, the U.S. is once again ahead of Japan in steel production, moving into third in the world. In addition to steel tariffs, the President’s actions to cut regulatory red tape has also contributed to this growth.
10. MELANIA DOC MAKES MILLIONS, FORCES AMAZON TO ADD NEW THEATERS – The documentary about the current First Lady Melania Trump called “Melania” had a limited release that couldn’t prevent it from reaching sales numbers for documentary films that haven’t been seen in 14 years, earning more than $7 million its first weekend. While critics predictably panned it, audiences reacted well to the film. The success of the film means more than 200 theaters will be added to the release the next weekend.
