A homeless illegal alien who had previously been deported from the United States on two separate occasions was arrested after stabbing a man on a light rail line in Charlotte, North Carolina. The vicious assault comes as the city is still reeling from the brutal murder of Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee who was fatally stabbed by a homeless man with an extensive criminal history.

Oscar Solarzano was arrested on charges of first-degree attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon causing serious injury, breaking and entering, carrying a concealed weapon and being intoxicated and disruptive, according to a report from the New York Post. He is currently being held without bond.

Solarzano, 33, allegedly charged onto  the Charlotte light rail on Friday evening before viscously stabbing the victim with a large knife, police said. The Honduran illegal alien allegedly broke onto the train, while intoxicated, before starting a fight with the victim and ultimately stabbing him, causing serious injuries,

The victim was hospitalized with serious injuries at Novant Health Presbyterian Hospital in stable condition, ABC News reported. His address on court records matches that of a homeless shelter in Charlotte.

WITNESS “is a global organization that helps people everywhere harness the power of video and audiovisual technology to tell their stories, document the truth, and defend human rights – today and in a future increasingly shaped by AI.” And in whatever pursuit that even is, they have published a video recommending people record ICE agents engaged in lawful arrests of illegal aliens. Unclear where they got the idea that humans have a “right” to break the law, but I digress.

According to the video, people have “the right to film interactions” between illegals and ICE agents. This recommendation comes after there have been record numbers of doxxing incidents targeting agents and their families. And when you see videos like this, it’s not even remotely surprising.

The video even goes as far as to recommend people get any and all information, such as badge numbers and uniforms. It’s unclear exactly why people would need this information, but you can do the math.

President Trump has had enough of the Senate’s “blue slip” tradition that allows senators to put the kibosh on certain presidential nominees for positions in their home states, and he’s demanding Senate Republicans to due away with the “scam.”

In a Truth Social message posted Thursday morning, the president called on Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) to terminate blue slips so that several of the White House’s picks for U.S. Attorney vacancies can make their way through the confirmation process. Trump also had pointed words for Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, saying it’s “shocking” Grassley allows the tradition to continue.

Federal prosecutors say Oklahoma City BLM leader Tashella Sheri Amore Dickerson spent five years looting more than $3 million meant for bail assistance and social-justice programs — secretly routing returned bail checks into her own accounts to bankroll luxury vacations, shopping sprees, groceries, a car, and six properties. Dickerson, who led the chapter since 2016, allegedly diverted $3.15 million in grant money funneled through the Alliance for Global Justice, filing fraudulent reports while using BLM’s bank, PayPal, and CashApp accounts as her personal ATM. She now faces 20 counts of wire fraud and five counts of money laundering — charges carrying decades in federal prison — even as she bizarrely claims the indictment simply proves she was “doing the work.”

And every woke American company donated millions to this racist grift.

A Utah courtroom erupted into controversy after the judge overseeing the Tyler Robinson murder case ordered the defendant’s parents and brother to leave the room during a closed session, rejecting a direct plea from the accused Charlie Kirk-killer’s attorney and intensifying scrutiny on how the high-profile proceedings are being handled.

The Thursday hearing marked Robinson’s first in-person appearance since being charged with assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University earlier this year.

The brutal killing that shocked the nation is now moving toward a possible death penalty trial.

Robinson entered the Provo courtroom in civilian clothing but remained shackled.

He appeared calm, even smirking at times, as cameras captured his demeanor.

Detroit is synonymous with autos, Los Angeles with motion pictures, and Texas with oil. Pittsburgh still conjures steel. When a product or service anchors a region’s economy, that sector has power. Politicians court industry. Industry demands representation and, ideally, protection.

What’s true regionally is just as true nationally. That’s why K Street exists and lobbyists make big bucks. Fortunes rise and fall, but if our GDP slips even 3%, the usual talking heads sprint to the cameras to declare the American economy on the verge of collapse — and always under whichever Republican is in office. When a Democrat presides over a faltering economy, the political media prefers to drive the getaway car.

Harassing users did nothing to stop the poison. Blowing up supply at sea does. Every sunken shipment dents the cartels’ profits. Every explosion represents a tangible loss.

If any of us invented a product that added 3% to national GDP, we’d enjoy the influence over policy and legislation that naturally comes with living in a representative republic with a market economy. Innovation and competition fuel prosperity.

The U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) over a collective bargaining agreement giving preferential treatment to non-white teachers and shelling out other benefits based on race.

After settling a three-week strike of the Minnesota Federation of Teachers in 2022, MPS included a provision in new teacher contracts that let teachers who were not white bypass the normal system of layoffs and involuntary assignments (which are typically based on seniority), indicating the school system now has a policy of retaining racially “underrepresented” teachers over white teachers who have been there longer.

“Employers may not provide more favorable terms and conditions of employment based on an employee’s race and sex,” Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon said in a Wednesday announcement. “The Department of Justice will vigorously pursue employers who deny their employees equal opportunities and benefits by classifying and limiting them based on their race, color, national origin, or sex.”

Without oversight from elected federal MPs, Canada’s Department of Immigration had research done to investigate a national ID system using digital passports for domestic use and how such a system would be enforced.

According to Access to Information documents, a senior analyst wrote in a staff email, “One of the things that came up in our discussions with Canadian Digital Services is the assumption the passport would be used within Canada as an identity document.”

“This warrants a policy discussion,” the staff email added.

MPs have soundly rejected any national ID system as both dangerous and costly.

It’s not often you see the left’s worldview hits them right in the face, but when it does, it’s incredibly satisfying.

YouTuber Nick Shirley posted footage of one of his videos to social media platform X, where he had an exchange that went pretty poorly for the mask-clad 120-pound activist trying to berate him.

Shirley was speaking to a group of people when he noticed the man off camera. He approached and asked him, “You got a problem with us live streaming, or what? Is there a problem with me being here?”

The leftist, who wore a black T-shirt, black shorts, and a white paper face mask, looked Shirley up and down and said in an accusing tone, “You’re a white person! Y’all don’t pay the stolen land tax!”

“You’re white as well, dude,” Shirley pointed out. “I don’t know what you’re trying to say.”

“I find that excluding the cameras from the courtroom would be disproportionate for this hearing.”

The judge overseeing the Utah case against Tyler Robinson, who has been charged with assassinating Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, ruled against the defense on Thursday, who requested that cameras be blocked from the hearing over multiple violations of a court order on filming. A date of February 3 was set for arguments on the matter of cameras in the courtroom during the trial.

The judge allowed cameras in court for the hearing, but whether or not cameras will be permitted during the trial is still open for discussion. Parties will argue about that February 3, after which Graf will make his ruling.

The defense said that January 30 “might be the one we want to save to argue our anticipated motion that’s coming about keeping cameras out of the courtroom and we will, I imagine the media will.” The judge said that there were complications surrounding the date, and the date of February 3 was agreed upon by the parties.

Explosive new court documents unsealed Tuesday detail the alleged judicial misconduct of the Wisconsin judge presiding over a politically-driven criminal case targeting the attorneys who represented the 2020 Trump campaign in the battleground Badger State. Dane County Circuit Court Judge John Hyland had outside help from a former judge with a “grudge,” according to the court filings.

Hyland, in so many words, told defendants to go pound sand. He will not remove himself from the case and the march to a perfectly-timed election-year trial will go on. To the people who feel more than ever that it will be impossible to get a fair trial in far-left Dane County, the judge effectively said, Trust me.

Earlier this week, attorneys for Jim Troupis, President Donald Trump’s Wisconsin recount counselor following the rigged 2020 presidential election, filed several motions not only asking Hyland and his staff to step aside, but to vacate the judge’s August order rejecting the defendants’ motion to dismiss the case. The omnibus motion and an appendix spelling out the allegations were sealed  — that is until Hyland opened them Tuesday afternoon.

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith is teaming up with other anti-Trump prosecutors to launch a new law firm. The hordes of Mordor might be forming again. Smith tried to ensnare President Trump in two investigations, one on the January 6 riot and the other concerning Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents, all of which were dismissed. The latter was part of the federal raid on Mar-a-Lago in August of 2022, which, in hindsight, sealed the Democrats’ fate regarding the 2024 election (via Yahoo! News):

Jack Smith, the former U.S. Justice Department special counsel who prosecuted Republican President Donald Trump following his first term in the White House, is teaming up with three other ex-prosecutors ‌to launch a new law firm.

Smith is starting the firm with Tim Heaphy, David Harbach and Thomas Windom, each ‌a former federal prosecutor with decades of public service.

Heaphy in a statement said the firm will launch in January and provide full-service legal work, including investigations and litigation. He said the team will design a legal practice focused on “integrity, commitment, and zealous advocacy” for public and private clients.

By handing out CDLs to ineligible drivers, the state “sent unsafe foreign drivers onto highways across America and put countless families in danger.”

Washington state says it accidentally issued nearly 700 commercial driver’s licenses over the past seven years to non-US citizens who did not qualify to have them. Washington is a so-called “sanctuary state” for illegal immigrants.

The revelation comes as the Evergreen State sits in the crosshairs of the Trump administration’s CDL crackdown following the case of Harjinder Singh, an illegal alien who allegedly made an illegal U-turn in a semi-truck and killed three people in Florida in August. Singh, who crossed the border illegally in 2018, failed the required tests and allegedly did not speak English.

Washington still issued him a commercial driver’s license, which he then used to obtain a California CDL. After the fatal crash, Florida’s attorney general asked the US Supreme Court to permanently bar Washington and California from issuing commercial licenses to noncitizens. Washington has until Jan. 27 to respond.

House Speaker Mike Johnson suggested Thursday that Republicans are preparing a broad healthcare package aimed at lowering premiums nationwide.

Senate Democrats and Republicans each rejected the other’s healthcare plan Thursday, as dueling votes on extending enhanced ACA subsidies and expanding Health Savings Accounts both failed amid leaders declaring the opposing plans “dead on arrival.” Johnson spoke briefly to reporters in the Capitol, saying that he and his conference are crafting a plan that goes beyond the Democrats’ push to extend enhanced Obamacare subsidies.

“I‘ve spoken to all my colleagues. We‘ve all worked around the clock to try to come up with a solution that satisfies the needs of all of our constituents,” Johnson said.

When CNN’s Manu Raju pressed Johnson on whether he would allow a vote on the Democrats’ subsidy-extension bill, he pointed to a forthcoming Republican plan.

CNN political commentator Scott Jennings had a stern warning for Republican lawmakers after the Republican-dominated Indiana State Senate overwhelmingly voted against a congressional map redraw that would have netted the party two seats in next year’s midterm elections, a move that significantly increases the odds of a Democrat-controlled U.S. House of Representatives in 2026.

The proposed maps would have split the Democratic Party stronghold of Indianapolis four ways, effectively eliminating the districts currently controlled by Democrats to give the GOP a 9-0 sweep when it comes to U.S. House seats. After the Indiana House advanced the motion last week, the proposed map went to the Senate, where it was soundly defeated on Thursday.

The vote was not particularly close, as 21 Republicans voted against the measure while just 19 voted in favor.  President Donald Trump and a number of key allies were furious over the move, leading organizations like Turning Point USA and the president himself to vow primary challenges.

While the Indiana legislature’s congressional redistricting efforts generate massive national attention, a weaker immigration enforcement bill is quietly moving faster than a stronger, “gold-standard” bill supported by Gov. Mike Braun and border czar Tom Homan.

The two immigration bills, Senate Bill 76 and House Bill 1039, include a lot of identical language. But SB 76 weakens and drops a number of HB 1039’s provisions.

SB 76 is sponsored by Sen. Liz Brown, R-Fort Wayne, who faces primary challenger Darren Vogt after she single-handedly blocked an immigration enforcement bill similar to HB 1039 earlier this year. SB 76 passed the judiciary committee Brown chairs Tuesday afternoon 6-2. In response to a Federalist query about whether she’d give HB 1039’s Senate companion sponsored by ranking member Sen. Eric Koch, R-Bedford, an equal hearing, Brown’s spokeswoman told The Federalist, “Sen. Brown is focused first on getting her bill through Committee and then she’ll see what the House does.”

One of the biggest whoppers Democrats told during the Schumer Shutdown was that they were not fighting for taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegals as part of the demands they wanted to be met to end the shutdown.

“Federal law prohibits the use of Medicare, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, and the Affordable Care Act to provide health insurance in any way, shape, or form to undocumented immigrants—period, full stop. Democrats aren’t trying to change that,” Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08) proclaimed at the time.

Though that is exactly what Jeffries and his fellow Democrats were trying to do, it was clear that the subject of taxpayer funding of illegal immigrant healthcare was a sore spot and for good reason, considering the likelihood that Jeffries knew the longer the shutdown dragged out, the more frustrated the American people would get with Democrats holding up funding for the military and SNAP recipients just to get some assurances on healthcare for illegals.

A Kentucky Democratic lawmaker argued during a hearing that white people should feel guilt over their skin color, defending diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs just as Republicans in the state moved to eliminate them from public schools.

The Tuesday comments came as Republican state Sen. Lindsey Tichenor introduced legislation banning DEI initiatives in Kentucky’s K–12 system, according to the Paducah Sun.

Democratic state Rep. Sarah Stalker objected to the bill, insisting DEI gives students room to “reflect” on “historical privilege.”

Then Stalker went further.

“I’m going to be honest, I don’t feel good about being white every day for a lot of reasons,” Stalker said in a video shared on X by Libs of TikTok.

“Because it’s a point of privilege that I get to move through the world in a way that so many of my other colleagues and friends and family members and of the community don’t get the privilege to do, and I’m just a female, just a woman, just a white woman.”

The Democrats and their flying monkeys in the mainstream media have made it clear that their plan to win back voters who abandoned them last year involves only resistance to President Trump. No policy. No coherent sales pitches. Just tantrums.

I should clarify — the Democrats aren’t offering any policy ideas to attract American citizens who vote. They’re working overtime crafting policy designed to make the lives of illegal alien murderers, rapists, and child traffickers better. In the Dem dreamworld, all of these criminal bottom-feeders will be voting for them regardless of legal status.

This resistance mindset has the Democrats placing a high premium on elected officials and candidates who they perceive as “fighters.” At present, that applies to anyone who has dropped an f-bomb during a press conference when wailing about Trump. The occasional snarky post (TWEET) on  X also counts a little towards Dem fighter cred.

All of the posturing and potty-mouthing in front of friendly audiences has given the Democrats the mistaken impression that they actually are tough. It’s mostly amusing, especially given the fact that fey soy boy Gavin Newsom is their highest polling “fighter” right now.

President Donald J Trump has signed a bill that will compel the Department of Justice to make the Jeffrey Epstein child sex rape files available to the public. The move came after the Democrats started selectively leaking the files in deceptively edited ways to attempt to sully President Trump.

So far, the files have yet to be fully released. Trump said of the release, “Jeffrey Epstein, who was charged by the Trump Justice Department in 2019 (Not the Democrats!), was a lifelong Democrat, donated Thousands of Dollars to Democrat Politicians, and was deeply associated with many well-known Democrat figures, such as Bill Clinton (who traveled on his plane 26 times), Larry Summers (who just resigned from many Boards, including Harvard), Sleazebag Political Activist Reid Hoffman, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (who asked Epstein to donate to his Campaign AFTER Epstein was charged), Democrat Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett, and many more.

Trump Announces He’s Signed Bill to Release Epstein Files – RedState

After the House of Representatives did its thing and the Senate did theirs, President Trump has done his – signing the bill that calls on the Department of Justice to release the Epstein files.

In a Truth Social message posted Wednesday night, Trump wrote:

… Perhaps the truth about these Democrats, and their associations with Jeffrey Epstein, will soon be revealed, because I HAVE JUST SIGNED THE BILL TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES! As everyone knows, I asked Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, to pass this Bill in the House and Senate, respectively. Because of this request, the votes were almost unanimous in favor of passage. At my direction, the Department of Justice has already turned over close to fifty thousand pages of documents to Congress.

Senator Mark Kelly (R-AZ) led 5 Democrat U.S. legislators in a viral video campaign appealing to the military to “refuse illegal orders.” Now, Kelly could face a military recall and court martial, while all six face potential treason charges, The video campaign was called “Don’t Give Up the Ship.” One legislator, Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), when pressed, could not identify any specific “illegal orders.”

President Trump’s suggestion treason means hanging triggered House Democrats to call the Capital Police for reasons not given. Since the viral video, more Democrat legislators have come out in support of the open call for military members and intelligence officials to commit, in essence, treason.

Well-founded suspicion is the Democrats are saying as much as they can say publicly to a sleeper cell that knows they mean insurrection, not defiance of unconstitutional orders. Given the unconstitutional policies of the DNC, this seems a well-founded concern. So far, Pam Bondi has threatened, but not charged, once again.

SEDITION: Pentagon Launches Review of ‘Serious Allegations of Misconduct’ Against Mark Kelly – Geller Report

The Pentagon said Monday that it has received “serious allegations of misconduct” against Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) and has initiated a “thorough review” of the allegations. It comes days after the senator, along with a handful of other lawmakers, called on U.S. service members to disobey any illegal orders issued by the Trump administration.

The Department of Defense said it had initiated an investigation to “determine further actions, which may include recall to active duty for court-martial proceedings or administrative measures.”

“This matter will be handled in compliance with military law, ensuring due process and impartiality,” the statement read. “Further official comments will be limited, to preserve the integrity of the proceedings.”

Kelly said Monday that he had upheld his oath to the Constitution through his time in the Navy and that his time in the military and at NASA was “in service to this country that I love and has given me so much.”

Thanks in part to holdups on Trump U.S. attorney confirmations by Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA), charges filed by Trump appointed U.S. attorney Linda Halligan against DNC operatives have been dismissed. U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie dismissed the charges against former FBI Director James Comey and current Fulton County Attorney General Leticia James.

The Judge ruled the Halligan was inappropriately appointed and thus has no authority to file charges before a U.S. court. Since the judge dismissed the charges, they can be brought again. Grassley held up the confirmation of Lindsey Halligan using a Senate traditional rule called the “blue slip,” which allows a home-state Senator to hold up any confirmations of their constituents for any reason.

Legal Expert Jonathan Turley Explains Why Comey and James Are Not Out of the Woods Yet, Despite Cases Being Dismissed – Western Journal

George Washington University Law School professor Jonathan Turley made clear on Monday why former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James are not out of legal jeopardy yet.

Earlier in the day, U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie, a Bill Clinton appointee, ruled that Interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan was incorrectly appointed, and therefore, the indictments brought by her office against Comey and James were “defective.”

“All actions flowing from Ms. Halligan’s defective appointment … constitute unlawful exercises of executive power and must be set aside,” the judge wrote.

Islamist Socialist Zohran Mamdani has chosen a police abolitionist author to be on his transition team. Alex Vitale, who wrote the book “The End of Policing,” will be working on “community safety issues.”  This follows his meeting with President Trump in the oval office where they exchanged mostly substance-less jabs with one another.

After a Jewish synagogue was harassed by a group shouting “Death to the IDF,” Mamdani blamed the victims for holding an event that offended the anti-Israel activists. His recent reiteration that he would honor “international law” over U.S. law leaves some to question whether he will try to arrest Jews wanted by the antisemitic “World Court.”

Hennepin County Judge Sarah West overruled a Minnesota jury after they found Abdifatah Yusuf guilty on fraud and racketeering charges. He was charged with committing $7.2 million in Medicaid fraud.

The GOP’s slim House majority took another potential hit after Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) resigned effective January 2025. A special election in her district is an opportunity for a DNC pickup. A few more special elections ahead of the main elections in 2026 could theoretically see the Republicans lose their majority.

MTG said of her resignation, “I have too much self respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms. And in turn, be expected to defend the President against impeachment after he hatefully dumped tens of millions of dollars against me and tried to destroy me. It’s all so absurd and completely unserious. I refuse to be a ‘battered wife’ hoping it all goes away and gets better.”

The soap opera that is the U.S. House will be losing one of its leading ladies, and no one is more disappointed than the mainstream media.

While the sudden, mid-term departure creates very real headaches for Republicans — and Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) in particular — MTG’s exit isn’t all bad news.

Greene, who bled MAGA red, stunned everyone by announcing her resignation this coming January, unleashing a four-page “manifesto” that shames Republicans and the administration for, in her mind, failing to keep their promises to the American people. “No matter which way the political pendulum swings,” she claimed, “Republican or Democrat, nothing ever gets better for the common American man or woman.” Citing everything from the shutdown to the Epstein files and expiring health care subsidies, Greene outlined the flashpoints that led to her very public break with President Trump.

Polish government makes ex-communist Parliament speaker – American Thinker

Zohran Mamdani’s election as New York City mayor surprised lots of Americans: How could a socialist get elected chief executive of America’s biggest city?  He did, however, get applause from the Polish left.  Maybe Americans should also learn how the new speaker of the lower house of the Polish Parliament is an ex-communist.

Wlodzimierz Czarzasty was elected speaker of the Sejm — the lower chamber of Poland’s parliament — November 18.

Czarzasty’s background is concerning.  Born in 1960, he joined the Polish United Workers’ Party — the Polish Communist Party — in 1983.  He stayed in the party until 1990 — i.e., until after the fall of communism in Poland.
