The criminal use of the Department of Homeland Security’s parole authority to broadly allow mass undocumented invasion by foreigners has been struck down by Federal Judge T. Kent Wetherell. The judge oversaw a settlement with the State of Florida that bans the Biden loophole from being allowed to be used again by any administration within 15 years of the signing of the agreement.
Revival of Biden’s Mass-Migrant Parole Program Blocked for 15 Years – slaynews.com
The Trump administration has secured a federal consent decree declaring one of former President Joe Biden’s mass-migrant parole programs unlawful and preventing any future administration from reviving a similar system for the next 15 years.
The settlement, approved by Judge T. Kent Wetherell in federal court in northern Florida, emerged from a lawsuit filed by the state of Florida in 2023 and places strict limits on how the federal government may use the Department of Homeland Security’s parole authority under Section 1182(d)(5).
Under the agreement, the federal government cannot use parole authority to create categorical processing pathways at the border designed to ease detention capacity or improve operational efficiency.
A new Japan is about to emerge that is sure to frighten China after a landslide victory by Japan’s conservative party leaves leftists with only 5 seats in the parliament. The victory is credited to Japan’s Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, who appeared to take a risk by calling for a snap election soon after her party appointed her Prime Minister.
The gamble has paid off, leaving conservatives with a super majority that will most likely alter Japan’s passivist constitution. One of the major changes expected is ending Japan’s self-imposed limitations on military spending and operations. President Trump congratulated the PM, sharing on Truth Social, “Congratulations to Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and her Coalition on a LANDSLIDE Victory in today’s very important Vote. She is a highly respected and very popular Leader. Sanae’s bold and wise decision to call for an Election paid off big time.”
Japanese stocks surge to record high as PM Takaichi wins landslide election victory – BBC
The LDP has woken up this morning to a very different reality. This is a party that’s gone from a humbling loss of its majority in 2024 to regaining full legislative control — sweeping parliamentary power back into its hands.
“Landslide victory” says the Yomiuri newspaper front page headline. “LDP Achieves Absolute Stable Majority on Its Own” was the headline splashed across the Asahi’s front page. All of them marked by sweeping red banners at the top of the page, signalling the governing party’s historic result.
It’s worth remembering just how dramatic this turnaround is.
Back in October 2024, Takaichi’s predecessor took a similar gamble — and lost badly. That snap election delivered the LDP’s worst-ever results, costing the party its majority in the House of Representatives, and ultimately costing Ishiba his job.
Hanging over the party at the time was deep public anger: fury at the mishandling of financial scandals, and frustration over the LDP’s links to the controversial Unification Church — all playing out as Japanese households struggled under the weight of rising prices.
Fast forward to February 2026, and many of those issues haven’t gone away. Households are still under pressure. The financial scandals haven’t been properly dealt with. But the LDP has been carried back on a wave of Sanae Takaichi’s popularity.
At the end of last month a malpractice lawsuit was ruled on that opens the door for more challenges to the medical industry’s rush to push patience into transgender surgeries and chemical “therapies.” The lawsuit awarded a 16-year-old girl $2 million for being hastened into life-altering “therapies.” After a couple of weeks have followed, the ruling appears to be setting off a potential wave of new lawsuits by more detransitioners that could price most transgender treatments out of the market.
More lawsuits could not only bankrupt the programs that have done more than offer transgender therapies to patients, but they also aggressively pushed them in part by not clearly letting their patients know the cost of transitioning, and they lowered the previous standards for determining if this type of treatment is needed after all.
On January 30, the first-ever verdict in a medical malpractice suit filed by a gender detransitioner was handed down, with a New York jury awarding 22-year-old Fox Varian $1.6 million in damages and $400,000 for future medical expenses. Varian had sued her psychologist and surgeon for uncritically diagnosing her with gender dysphoria and giving her a double mastectomy when she was just 16 years old.
Although the award was less than the $8 million sought by Varian and her attorneys, legal observers say the verdict likely marks a tipping point for the gender-affirming medical industry.
Within days of the announcement, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) issued a statement recommending that surgeons now delay “gender-related breast/chest, genital, and facial surgery” until patients are at least 19 years old.
Their conclusion? “Available evidence suggests that a substantial proportion of children with prepubertal onset gender dysphoria experience resolution or significant reduction of distress by the time they reach adulthood, absent medical or surgical intervention.”
The far-left anti-human extortion group, Human Rights Campaign, is waving a red flag to alert its far-left anti-human base that their ideology of hate, fear, and fake hope, DEI, is dying. The organization reports only 131 Fortune 500 companies are participating in their extortion questionnaire called the “Corporate Equity Index.” The Index reads as demands, not questions, when you understand what HRC does, with the aid of the DNC-CCP and its corporate allies, to those who do not comply with their demands.
The number of Fortune 500 companies willing to publicly disclose their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices has dropped 65 percent in the last year, according to the Human Rights Campaign (HRC).
The HRC, likely the most powerful gay and “transgender” lobby in the country, typically keeps track of which companies are doing its political bidding. According to a 2026 report, only 131 Fortune 500 companies in 2026 are participating in HRC’s Corporate Equality Index — the primary measure of corporate ideological compliance for HRC.
That is down from 377 Fortune 500 companies in 2025. Part of the decrease, HRC says, is so companies can maintain federal contracts as the Trump administration has cracked down on DEI and awarding taxpayer dollars to companies that advance the ideology.
An Antifa leader, Kyle Wagner, 37, was arrested and charged with making federal threats and cyberstalking. The arrest comes after the Antifa leader proclaimed on numerous livestreams his intentions to start an open war against ICE. AG Pam Bondi said of the arrest, “This man allegedly doxxed and called for the murder of law enforcement officers, encouraged bloodshed in the streets, and proudly claimed affiliation with the terrorist organization Antifa before going on the run.”
A self-proclaimed member of Antifa who used social media to spew hate and threats at federal agents enforcing America’s immigration laws has been arrested.
Kyle Wagner, 37, was arrested Thursday on federal threat and cyberstalking charges, according to a Department of Justice news release.
“This man allegedly doxxed and called for the murder of law enforcement officers, encouraged bloodshed in the streets, and proudly claimed affiliation with the terrorist organization Antifa before going on the run,” Attorney General Pamela Bondi said.

“Today’s arrest illustrates that you cannot run, you cannot hide, and you cannot evade our federal agents: if you come for law enforcement, the Trump administration will come for you,” she said.
A criminal complaint against Wagner said he called U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents the “Gestapo” and “murderers.”
In a Jan. 8 video, Wagner said, “I’ve already bled for this city, I’ve already fought for this city, this is nothing new, we’re ready this time, ICE we’re f***ing coming for you.”
The next day, while supporting the “constant harassment of ICE” he said that “we need to continue that, but we also need to cripple them,” also stating, “Anywhere we have an opportunity to get our hands on them, we need to put our hands on them.”
An image of his arrest showed Wagner wearing a shirt that said, “I’m Antifa.”
The complaint said that over and over, Wagner urged his Facebook and Instagram followers “to forcibly confront, assault, impede, oppose, and resist federal officers,” the release said.
“It’s no surprise that an Antifa terrorist is allegedly threatening to kill and assault federal law enforcement officers as they dutifully remove criminal threats from neighborhoods,” said Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. “After all, this is what Antifa is about, lawlessness and violence.”
Blanche added, in a post on X, “Conspire and threaten to assault, kill and doxx officers, and you’ll find yourself in federal custody facing the full force of justice. “
The release noted Wagner asked followers to “hunt” ICE, including those who are “armed” to “fight [ICE]. This is kill or be killed,” citing a “goal [ ] to unmask and identify [ICE] agents – stop their ability to arrest individuals through group resistance.”
On Jan. 10, 2026, Wagner said, “We are at f****** war” and stated, “So, either we’re going to win, or I will die in this process.”
On Jan. 13, he said, “This is where ICE has come to die” and said of ICE agents, “We want to know who they are. We will identify every single one of them and we will prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. If it has to be done at the barrel of a gun, then let us have a little f****** fun.”
In a Jan. 24 message, Wagner said he was “not talking about peaceful protests anymore,” telling followers, “Get your f****** guns and stop these f****** people.”
U.S. Attorney Jerome Gorgon, Jr. responded, “We know that a ‘worthless man plots evil, and his speech is like a scorching fire.’ And Wagner’s alleged actions were an attempt to spread fire into our peaceful community. That is not going to happen.”
The complaint said that on Jan. 29, Wagner doxxed a “pro-ICE individual by publishing a phone number, birth month and year, and address in Oak Park, Michigan, threatening the individual. Wagner later admitted that he doxxed the victim’s parents’ house.”
Wagner removed his social media accounts Monday, according to Fox News.

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.
Amazon Scrambles to Get ‘Melania’ Into Hundreds of New Theaters After Monday Numbers Blow Away Expectations – westernjournal.com
The divide between ordinary Americans and the elitist gatekeepers in every industry has never appeared more stark.
In this case, at least, the ordinary Americans have gained the upper hand.
According to Breitbart, the Amazon MGM Studios entertainment company will add the hit documentary “Melania” to more than 200 new theaters following a spectacular opening weekend that saw the film shatter at least one remarkable record.
“Melania” gives viewers inside access to then-incoming first lady Melania Trump’s life during the 20 days preceding President Donald Trump’s second inauguration in Jan. 2025. Readers may view the trailer here:
Whether it was due to the trailer or simply Americans’ love for the president and first lady, “Melania” raked in more than $7 million on its opening weekend and added another $1 million on Monday, prompting Amazon MGM to add new theaters.
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.
President Donald Trump’s massive fundraising has built a financial juggernaut that could rewrite the rules of midterm elections for Republicans in 2026.
Trump and allied Republican groups have stockpiled $375 million as of the end of 2025.
The figure towers over Democrat reserves, with the Democratic National Committee (DNC) holding just $14 million while still burdened by $17 million in debt.
This cash advantage, bolstered by the Republican National Committee’s $95 million on hand, has GOP strategists hopeful of defying the historical trend where the incumbent president’s party loses congressional seats during midterms.
Meanwhile, Trump’s super PAC, Make America Great Again Inc. (MAGA Inc.), raised an unprecedented $289 million in 2025, fueling optimism for aggressive campaign support.
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.”
New York county drops ‘sanctuary’ bill after resident pressure – The Post Millennial
“This legislation prioritizes ideology over safety, weakens cooperation between levels of government, and places unnecessary financial and security burdens on our community.”
Rockland County in New York is dropping its efforts to declare itself a “sanctuary” jurisdiction after facing public backlash and concerns from law enforcement.
On Tuesday night, hundreds gathered at the Rockland County Legislature to protest the proposal, which would prevent local law enforcement from working with federal immigration agents to apprehend those who are in the US illegally. Patriot protesters filled the legislative chambers, forcing many to wait outside. Amid the pressure, legislators pulled the vote, saying they would revisit it in March and hold another public hearing.
More winning from our historic and magnificent POTUS!
The ending of Russian oil imports would be particularly significant; yes, even huge. Trump on his phone meeting with India Prime Minister Modi: We spoke about many things, including Trade, and ending the War with Russia and Ukraine. He agreed to stop buying Russian Oil, and to buy much more from the United States and, potentially, Venezuela. This will help END THE WAR in Ukraine, which is taking place right now, with thousands of people dying each and every week! Out of friendship and respect for Prime Minister Modi and, as per his request, effective immediately, we agreed to a Trade Deal between the United States and India, whereby the United States will charge a reduced Reciprocal Tariff, lowering it from 25% to 18% (Truth)
India and China reportedly began edging away from Russian energy after President Trump imposed a 25% punitive tariff on countries doing business with Moscow — a move that signaled consequences.Trump has been pressing Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Russian oil since last summer, and two weeks ago he raised the stakes dramatically, threatening tariffs as high as 500%.
Modi rushed to X to celebrate the new trade agreement at an 18% reciprocal tariff rate.
Republicans massively out-fundraised Democrats in 2025, a massive boon to the GOP heading into the midterm election cycle.
According to recent Federal Election Commission reports, the Republican Party has almost $700 million in cash on hand across six different funding groups. The Democrats have $167 million cash on hand, but the Democratic National Committee is in debt.
“The [Republican National Committee] closed out 2025 in a position of real strength, building a serious war chest as we head into the 2026 midterms focused on defending and expanding our Republican majorities,” said Republican National Committee Chairman Joe Gruters.
An interesting story from the United Kingdom is filling left-wing journalists with horror: Amelia. She’s an Artificial Intelligence creation that has escaped its left-wing government master and been rebadged as a heroine to the anti-mass migrant movement online.
The U.K. is suffering societal backlash and financial pressure due to mass immigration from cultures with little respect for women, yet the Labour Party government is obsessed with patrolling social media to inhibit “far-right” discussion of the migrant problem.
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…”

Yesterday, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) announced it no longer supported “gender-affirming surgeries” for children under 18 years old. It marked the first major medical organization to shift policy around “gender-affirming care,” and many noted it only happened in the wake of a $2 million malpractice lawsuit that was won by detransitioner Fox Varian, who underwent a mastectomy as a teenager. Varian sued her psychologist and the doctor who removed her breasts.
Now the American Medical Association (AMA) said it agrees with the ASPS about the surgeries.

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.”
Washington Post lays off 30% of its staff, including 300 reporters – The Post Millennial
Closing will be the paper’s sports and books sections, as well as the Post Reports daily news podcast. The Post’s metro section will continue in a reduced capacity, as well as its international coverage.
The Washington Post announced to employees on Wednesday that it was carrying out widespread layoffs that will reportedly affect the paper’s sports, international, and local news coverage.
Two people with knowledge of the decision told the New York Times that the Washington Post is laying off around 30 percent of its staff, including over 300 of the around 800 reporters in the newsroom, as well as people on the business side. Emails notifying employees that they had been laid off began going out in the morning.
In a Wednesday call, The Post’s executive editor, Matt Murray, told newsroom employees that the paper had been losing too much money for too long, and has not been meeting the needs of its readers. He said that all sections of the paper would feel the effects of layoffs, and that in the end, the publication would be focused more on national news and politics, business, and health more so than other areas.
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.”
The trial of the man who attempted to assassinate President Trump is now over.
On Wednesday afternoon, Ryan Routh, the man who was convicted of attempting to assassinate President Trump, was given a life sentence.
Routh was previously convicted of attempting to assassinate President Trump in 2024.
Axios reported further details on the judge’s ruling:
Ryan Routh, the man found guilty of trying to assassinate President Trump at his Florida golf course ahead of the 2024 election, was sentenced to life in prison Wednesday, according to multiple reports.
Routh’s attempt on Trump’s life — the second in the span of months — was a part of a series of high-profile incidents of political violence that rocked the country.
Prosecutors asked U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon for a life sentence.
“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,” the government argued.
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.
New Poll Vindicates Trump, Shows Huge Majority Backing Mass Deportations – trendingpoliticsnews.com
A new national survey is dealing a major blow to the Democratic Party’s immigration messaging and reinforcing President Donald Trump’s long-held position on border enforcement and deportations.
The poll, released by Cygnal, finds overwhelming public support for enforcing immigration law, deporting those in the country illegally, and allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement to do its job. The results directly contradict years of media and Democratic claims that deportation is unpopular or extreme.
According to the survey, nearly three-quarters of voters, 73 percent, say entering the United States without legal permission is breaking the law. By a two-to-one margin, 61 percent to 34 percent, voters support deporting those who are in the country illegally. A majority, 54 percent, want ICE actively enforcing federal immigration laws and removing illegal immigrants, while 58 percent oppose defunding ICE.
Those numbers cut across party lines, with Independents and swing voters siding far closer to Republicans than Democrats on nearly every question related to immigration enforcement. The political consequences for Democrats become even more severe when voters are told the party supports defunding ICE or shutting down the federal government to stop deportations.
Cygnal’s polling shows the generic congressional ballot flips dramatically under those scenarios. Democrats’ four-point advantage disappears entirely when voters learn Democrats oppose ICE enforcement. If Democrats push for a government shutdown to defund ICE, Republicans gain a two-point lead nationally, representing a six-point swing away from Democrats. Among swing voters, the shift is a staggering 16 points toward Republicans.
New York City, New York, United States of America – October 22 2025: Anti-ICE protest in New York City after Canal Street ICE Deportation Raid
The survey also shows how isolated Democrats are on the broader issue of illegal immigration. Sixty-four percent of likely midterm voters say illegal immigration is a serious problem in the United States, including 71 percent of swing voters. Nearly all Republicans agree, along with a solid majority of Independents. Democrats are the only group where most respondents claim illegal immigration is not a problem.
“Voters see illegal immigration as a simple question of law and order,” said Brent Buchanan, Cygnal’s CEO and founder. “The data leaves no wiggle room. Americans want the law enforced, they want illegal immigrants removed, and they punish politicians who try to block ICE from doing its job.”
Reports this week indicate a sharp escalation in immigration enforcement across the United States as the Trump administration continues to push forward with large-scale deportation operations. Federal authorities have expanded ICE activity beyond traditional border areas, triggering high-profile arrests, accelerated removals, and the rapid transfer of detainees to newly expanded holding facilities.
The enforcement surge has sparked widespread protests in major cities including New York, Minneapolis, and Los Angeles, where demonstrators accuse the administration of conducting mass deportations and overreaching federal authority.
For Republicans and President Trump, the findings validate a core issue that has defined his political brand since 2016. Rather than costing the GOP politically, strong support for deportations and ICE enforcement appears to be a net winner, especially with Independents and voters who decide close elections.
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.
The United Nations (UN) is sounding the alarm as it edges toward a full-blown financial crisis that could cripple the unelected globalist organization’s worldwide operations within months.
In a stark letter sent to all 193 member states in late January, Secretary-General António Guterres warned that the UN could run out of cash by July unless countries immediately pay what they owe, or radically rewrite the organization’s financial rules to avoid what he described as an “imminent financial collapse.”
The warning exposes a system buckling under massive unpaid dues, mounting deficits, and internal rules that force the UN to refund money it never actually received.
According to Guterres, only 77 percent of assessed contributions for 2025 were paid.
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.”
Conservative populist Laura Fernández wins Costa Rica presidency election – Fox News
Costa Ricans have elected conservative populist Laura Fernández as their next president, according to preliminary results, making her the latest right-leaning leader to win office in Latin America.
With results from 96.8% of polling places counted, Fernández of the Sovereign People’s Party won 48.3% of the vote, the Supreme Electoral Tribunal reported.
Her closest challenger, economist Álvaro Ramos of the National Liberation Party, trailed with 33.4%, the Associated Press reported.
Ramos conceded the race on election night, with Fernández, 39, to begin her four-year term in May.

A former government minister, Fernández is the chosen successor of outgoing President Rodrigo Chaves, who is constitutionally prohibited from seeking re-election.
She campaigned on continuing Chaves’ populist agenda, which reshaped Costa Rican politics by arguing against traditional parties and promising tougher action on crime.
Fernández served as minister of national planning and later as minister of the presidency, giving her a central role in Chaves’ administration.
The murder rate had increased by 50% over the last six years, according to reports.
Fernández pledged a hard-line security strategy, including increased cooperation with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and tougher measures against organized crime.
She has also floated controversial proposals inspired by El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele.
This included construction of a special prison for gang leaders, the Associated Press reported.

“My hand won’t shake when it comes to making the decisions we need to restore peace in Costa Rican homes,” Fernández said during the campaign.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio congratulated Fernández in a statement Monday.
“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,” Rubio said.
“I hope that we can immediately lower the flags of whichever political party and start working only in favor of the Costa Rican flag,” Fernández said after the result.
“I believe the Costa Rican people expect nothing less of us,” she added.

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.
TRUMP STEEL: US Steel Production Surpasses Japan for First Time Since 1999 As a Result of Tariffs – gellerreport.com
In a devastating blow to the “experts,” US steel production now exceeds N for the first time in nearly thirty years as a result of President Trump’s tariffs.
The POTUS’s elected after President Reagan signed horrific and anti-American trade deals with the Globalists. Thereby causing massive trade deficits against our competitors. As well as causing the de-industrialization of the United States. Since President Trump took office in January 2017, and again in January 2025, he has been very effective at using tariffs to force companies to provide employment opportunities in America. Nobody else could have accomplished the re-industrialization of the United States. Way to go, President Trump.

Another major hospital is throwing in the towel and ceasing to “transition” gender-confused minors thanks to conditions on federal funding, this time in the heart of pro-LGBT territory.
Fox 5 KUSI reports that Rady Children’s Hospital (RCH) in San Diego has confirmed it will stop offering so-called “gender-affirming care” in response to the Trump administration’s crackdown. “[W]e were recently referred to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General for Investigation,” the hospital said. “Taken together, these developments affect our role and responsibilities as a provider participating in federal programs such as Medicaid and Medicare.”
A new swing block in the 2024 election, the Hispanic vote only figures to be an even bigger one in the coming elections, which is good news for Trump. A Rasmussen Reports poll shows President Trump’s approval rating among Hispanics is plus nine, with 54% approving and 45% disapproving. This poll shows the narrative of ICE raids being anti-Hispanic or “brown” is a myth. Not even Hispanic Americans want illegals here, it would seem.
Polling Shows Massive Pro-Trump Swing Among Hispanics – townhall.com
This news has to make the Democratic Party very unhappy this morning. They’ve spent the past year attacking the Trump administration as racist, bigoted, xenophobic, and Nazi-like over its immigration policy, accusing ICE and Border Patrol of rounding up “brown people” indiscriminately for deportation.
Despite that, President Trump’s approval rating among Hispanics is skyrocketing, according to Rasmussen.
BREAKING: President Trump’s approval rating among Hispanics now at +9, per Rasmussen.
Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego, CA has announced it will no longer conduct “gender affirming care” for children. They stated. “…these developments affect our role and responsibilities as a provider participating in federal programs such as Medicaid and Medicare. This was a very difficult decision, made to ensure we can continue serving all children and families across the communities we serve.”
Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital in Tacoma, WA has also announced it will be closing down its gender care clinic, stating, “This was an incredibly painful decision, and one that I wish we did not have to make. We recognize how important this care is to our gender health clinic patients and have a sense of the impact this will have on these patients and their families.”
For those who haven’t noticed, BOTH hospitals expressed regret they could not continue to offer children life-altering chemicals, and even surgeries, under the illusion that a child can “choose” their gender. Where possible, perhaps it is time to choose a hospital that doesn’t hold the philosophical view that a child can choose a gender, and doctors should help permanently alter them to satisfy that delusion.
Tacoma’s Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital to close gender clinic – Post Millennial
In January, President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at restricting the controversial procedures.
Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital plans to shut down its gender care clinic this week, citing mounting federal pressure that hospital leaders say could jeopardize critical Medicaid and Medicare funding for its parent organization, MultiCare Health System.
In a memo sent to employees on Monday, obtained by The Seattle Times, MultiCare CEO Bill Robertson said “recent developments at the federal level” have raised the risk that the federal government could cut off payments to the entire health system if Mary Bridge continues providing gender-altering services to minors. “This was an incredibly painful decision, and one that I wish we did not have to make,” Robertson wrote. “We recognize how important this care is to our gender health clinic patients and have a sense of the impact this will have on these patients and their families.”
The state of French politics has helped defeat an end-of-life bill in their Senate that would have allowed doctors to euthanize patients. The bill was essentially allowed to die in the Senate after it had passed the National Assembly. Unfortunately, the euthanizers still have hope of bringing the bill back to the Senate if the National Assembly can fix the concern by some that, as written, it was too permissive.
France Senate Kills Horrible Euthanasia Bill – Life News
I have great news. The political deadlock in France has resulted in France’s euthanasia bill, that had passed in the French National Assembly on May 27, 2025 was essentially rejected by the French Senate on January 21, 2026.
France’s end-of-life bill has become mired in political deadlock, exposing deep ideological divisions over whether doctors should be allowed to provide patients with the means to end their lives, or assist them in doing so.
The impasse deepened on Wednesday evening, when the French Senate rejected Article 4 of the bill, which sought to define the conditions under which patients could access medical aid in dying. In an unusual alignment, conservatives and socialists voted together, albeit for sharply different reasons.
A Year into President Trump’s mass deportation operation, the murder rate in America dropped by a staggering 21% from 2024 to 2025, and to a low that hasn’t been seen since the records were first kept 125 years ago. The correlation between mass deportation and a massive drop in the murder rate cannot be dismissed, but more date would be needed to affirm causation beyond correlation.
The Department of Homeland Security’s Self-Deportation app has seen a spike in traffic already compared to last year, when the app was first rolled out. So far, nearly 3 million illegal aliens have self-deported under Trump, according to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. That figure is expected to be more in the coming year based on the app’s initial traffic data for this year. The Trump administration has also increased the incentive to self-deport from $1000 to $2600.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has witnessed an unprecedented surge in online visitors, with many drawn to a page detailing self-deportation options through a dedicated smartphone application.
DHS reported a 68.49% increase in website traffic compared to the previous year, tallying 102 million page views and 67 million unique visitors, up from 40 million page views in 2024.
The CBP Home App, launched last March under the second Trump administration, has become a focal point, enabling unauthorized migrants to arrange voluntary departure.
Additionally, DHS announced plans for a redesigned website to improve transparency and navigation, alongside touting significant immigration enforcement results in the first year of President Donald Trump’s return to office.
Florida’s Agency for Healthcare Administration has revealed that abortion has declined in the state by 45% since 2021. Operation Rescue Chief Operating Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue, said of the news, “With the permanent closure of just nine clinics, the state of Florida saw a 45% reduction in the number of babies killed. This is a state with the third highest number of abortion clinics in the nation, right after California and New York.
The work is far from over, but more lives are saved every time a clinic closes its door for good. This is why our team works so diligently to expose abortion abuses and to call for the equal enforcement of safety and health regulations at the shoddy abortion businesses we constantly find breaking the law.”
Abortions Down 45% in Florida, Babies Saved as Abortion Centers Close – Lifenews
Operation Rescue has stated again and again: When abortion clinics close, babies are saved. And the state of Florida is currently proving that point.
Chief Operating Officer Sarah Neely was recently invited to speak at the Florida March for the Preborn, a grassroots effort organized by Defending Life Alliance of Florida and sponsored by Operation Rescue. The event was well-attended and included other national speakers like Frank Pavone of Priests for Life, Lianna Rebolledo of Loving Life, Kimberly Bird of Live Action, and others.
Speaking to hundreds of Florida citizens, Neely stated, “Operation Rescue conducts a survey every year of every abortion clinic in America. This helps us track abortion trends like cost, gestational limits, wait times, and it also helps us track closures and openings — the number of abortion clinics. In the last 5 years, we have seen the number of clinics in Florida decrease by 16%. That might seem a small number, but small numbers add up over time.”
President Trump has signed an executive order intended to reactivate mental hospitals that once help the severely mentally ill for long periods of time. Trump’s executive order hopes to get hardened chronic drug users and severely mentally ill people off the streets to restore security in American cities. He declared, “Signed an executive order to bring back mental institutions and insane asylums. We are going to have to bring them back. Hate to build those suckers but you’ve got to get the people off the streets”
The key part of the XO states, “Shifting homeless individuals into long-term institutional settings for humane treatment through the appropriate use of civil commitment will restore public order. Surrendering our cities and citizens to disorder and fear is neither compassionate to the homeless nor other citizens. My Administration will take a new approach focused on protecting public safety.”
President Trump Orders Return of Insane Asylums, Mental Institutions to Get the Severely Ill Off the Streets – Geller Report
President Trump: ‘Signed an executive order to bring back mental institutions and insane asylums. We are going to have to bring them back. Hate to build those suckers but you’ve got to get the people off the streets’
Donald J. Trump said he has signed an executive order to restore mental institutions and psychiatric asylums, arguing that reopening them is necessary to remove severely mentally ill individuals from the streets, protect public safety, and address homelessness—adding bluntly that while rebuilding them won’t be easy, “you’ve got to get the people off the streets.”
As The President talked about signing an executive order, Trump waxed nostalgic as he told a story of walking to Little League practice with his mother, reminding reporters he was “quite the baseball player.” Asking his mother on bars over windows on a psychiatric hospital in Queens, which he said “loomed over the block,” Trump says she told him that “very sick” people lived there.
Donald J. Trump issued a sweeping executive order aimed at restoring public safety by confronting homelessness through enforcement, treatment, and accountability rather than permissive disorder. The order identifies rampant drug addiction and untreated mental illness as the primary drivers of street homelessness and authorizes expanded use of civil commitment to move dangerous or incapable individuals into long-term institutional care. It directs federal agencies to prioritize grants for states and cities that enforce bans on open drug use, camping, squatting, and loitering; strengthen action against repeat offenders and homeless sex offenders; and remove encampments where public safety is at risk. The order rejects “housing first” and taxpayer-funded drug consumption sites, redirects funds toward evidence-based treatment, drug courts, and mental health courts, and tightens oversight of homelessness programs—cutting off funding to groups that tolerate illegal drug use or endanger women and children. The overarching goal is explicit: end crime and disorder on America’s streets by restoring enforcement, mandating treatment, and reasserting public order—without surrendering cities to chaos under the guise of compassion.
ENDING CRIME AND DISORDER ON AMERICA’S STREETS
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:
Section 1. Purpose and Policy. Endemic vagrancy, disorderly behavior, sudden confrontations, and violent attacks have made our cities unsafe. The number of individuals living on the streets in the United States on a single night during the last year of the previous administration — 274,224 — was the highest ever recorded. The overwhelming majority of these individuals are addicted to drugs, have a mental health condition, or both. Nearly two-thirds of homeless individuals report having regularly used hard drugs like methamphetamines, cocaine, or opioids in their lifetimes. An equally large share of homeless individuals reported suffering from mental health conditions. The Federal Government and the States have spent tens of billions of dollars on failed programs that address homelessness but not its root causes, leaving other citizens vulnerable to public safety threats.
Shifting homeless individuals into long-term institutional settings for humane treatment through the appropriate use of civil commitment will restore public order. Surrendering our cities and citizens to disorder and fear is neither compassionate to the homeless nor other citizens. My Administration will take a new approach focused on protecting public safety.
Sec. 2. Restoring Civil Commitment. (a) The Attorney General, in consultation with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, shall take appropriate action to:
(i) seek, in appropriate cases, the reversal of Federal or State judicial precedents and the termination of consent decrees that impede the United States’ policy of encouraging civil commitment of individuals with mental illness who pose risks to themselves or the public or are living on the streets and cannot care for themselves in appropriate facilities for appropriate periods of time; and
(ii) provide assistance to State and local governments, through technical guidance, grants, or other legally available means, for the identification, adoption, and implementation of maximally flexible civil commitment, institutional treatment, and “step-down” treatment standards that allow for the appropriate commitment and treatment of individuals with mental illness who pose a danger to others or are living on the streets and cannot care for themselves.
Sec. 3. Fighting Vagrancy on America’s Streets. (a) The Attorney General, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and the Secretary of Transportation shall take immediate steps to assess their discretionary grant programs and determine whether priority for those grants may be given to grantees in States and municipalities that actively meet the below criteria, to the maximum extent permitted by law:
(i) enforce prohibitions on open illicit drug use;
(ii) enforce prohibitions on urban camping and loitering;
(iii) enforce prohibitions on urban squatting;
(iv) enforce, and where necessary, adopt, standards that address individuals who are a danger to themselves or others and suffer from serious mental illness or substance use disorder, or who are living on the streets and cannot care for themselves, through assisted outpatient treatment or by moving them into treatment centers or other appropriate facilities via civil commitment or other available means, to the maximum extent permitted by law; or
(v) substantially implement and comply with, to the extent required, the registration and notification obligations of the Sex Offender Registry and Notification Act, particularly in the case of registered sex offenders with no fixed address, including by adequately mapping and checking the location of homeless sex offenders.
(b) The Attorney General shall:
(i) ensure that homeless individuals arrested for Federal crimes are evaluated, consistent with 18 U.S.C. 4248, to determine whether they are sexually dangerous persons and certified accordingly for civil commitment;
(ii) take all necessary steps to ensure the availability of funds under the Emergency Federal Law Enforcement Assistance program to support, as consistent with 34 U.S.C. 50101 et seq., encampment removal efforts in areas for which public safety is at risk and State and local resources are inadequate;
(iii) assess Federal resources to determine whether they may be directed toward ensuring, to the extent permitted by law, that detainees with serious mental illness are not released into the public because of a lack of forensic bed capacity at appropriate local, State, and Federal jails or hospitals; and
(iv) enhance requirements that prisons and residential reentry centers that are under the authority of the Attorney General or receive funding from the Attorney General require in-custody housing release plans and, to the maximum extent practicable, require individuals to comply.
Sec. 4. Redirecting Federal Resources Toward Effective Methods of Addressing Homelessness. (a) The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall take appropriate action to:
(i) ensure that discretionary grants issued by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration for substance use disorder prevention, treatment, and recovery fund evidence-based programs and do not fund programs that fail to achieve adequate outcomes, including so-called “harm reduction” or “safe consumption” efforts that only facilitate illegal drug use and its attendant harm;
(ii) provide technical assistance to assisted outpatient treatment programs for individuals with serious mental illness or addiction during and after the civil commitment process focused on shifting such individuals off of the streets and public programs and into private housing and support networks; and
(iii) ensure that Federal funds for Federally Qualified Health Centers and Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics reduce rather than promote homelessness by supporting, to the maximum extent permitted by law, comprehensive services for individuals with serious mental illness and substance use disorder, including crisis intervention services.
(b) The Attorney General shall prioritize available funding to support the expansion of drug courts and mental health courts for individuals for which such diversion serves public safety.
Sec. 5. Increasing Accountability and Safety in America’s Homelessness Programs. (a) The Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall take appropriate actions to increase accountability in their provision of, and grants awarded for, homelessness assistance and transitional living programs. These actions shall include, to the extent permitted by law, ending support for “housing first” policies that deprioritize accountability and fail to promote treatment, recovery, and self-sufficiency; increasing competition among grantees through broadening the applicant pool; and holding grantees to higher standards of effectiveness in reducing homelessness and increasing public safety.
(b) The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall, as appropriate, take steps to require recipients of Federal housing and homelessness assistance to increase requirements that persons participating in the recipients’ programs who suffer from substance use disorder or serious mental illness use substance abuse treatment or mental health services as a condition of participation.
(c) With respect to recipients of Federal housing and homelessness assistance that operate drug injection sites or “safe consumption sites,” knowingly distribute drug paraphernalia, or permit the use or distribution of illicit drugs on property under their control:
(i) the Attorney General shall review whether such recipients are in violation of Federal law, including 21 U.S.C. 856, and bring civil or criminal actions in appropriate cases; and
(ii) the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, in coordination with the Attorney General, shall review whether such recipients are in violation of the terms of the programs pursuant to which they receive Federal housing and homelessness assistance and freeze their assistance as appropriate.
(d) The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall take appropriate measures and revise regulations as necessary to allow, where permissible under applicable law, federally funded programs to exclusively house women and children and to stop sex offenders who receive homelessness assistance through such programs from being housed with unrelated children.
(e) The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, in consultation with the Attorney General and the Secretary of Health and Human Services, shall, as appropriate and to the extent permitted by law:
(i) allow or require the recipients of Federal funding for homelessness assistance to collect health-related information that the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development identifies as necessary to the effective and efficient operation of the funding program from all persons to whom such assistance is provided; and
(ii) require those funding recipients to share such data with law enforcement authorities in circumstances permitted by law and to use the collected health data to provide appropriate medical care to individuals with mental health diagnoses or to connect individuals to public health resources.
Sec. 6. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
(d) The costs for publication of this order shall be borne by the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the arrest of Nekima Levy Armstrong, the alleged ringleader of an anti-ICE militant invasion of a church service because the Pastor is a suspected ICE agent. Don Lemon, the former CNN agitator, appeared to lead the assault. He is expected to face Federal charges as well.
Attorney General Pam Bondi shared, “So far, we have arrested Nekima Levy Armstrong, who allegedly played a key role in organizing the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. We will share more updates as they…”
FBI Arrests Ringleaders of Commie Horde That Stormed Cities Church – RedState
The moment all of us have been waiting for is finally here – the people who led the commie takeover of Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, are being arrested. Attorney General Pam Bondi made the announcement Thursday morning, revealing that agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) have arrested Nekima Levy Armstrong, saying Armstrong “allegedly played a key role in organizing the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.”
Despite the tough rhetoric coming from Mexico lately, the Sheinbaum administration itself seems more than willing to placate an America at war with the drug cartels. Mexico’s Security Minister Omar Garcia Harfuch announced the extradition of 37 high ranking and dangerous cartel members that “represented a real threat to the country’s (Mexico) security.” This bring the total number of extradited cartel members to 92.
Mexico’s security minister said Tuesday that it had sent another 37 members of Mexican drug cartels to the United States, as the Trump administration ratchets up pressure on governments to crack down on criminal networks it says are smuggling drugs across the border.

Mexico’s security minister said Tuesday that it had sent another 37 members of Mexican drug cartels to the United States, as the Trump administration ratchets up pressure on governments to crack down on criminal networks it says are smuggling drugs across the border.
Mexican Security Minister Omar García Harfuch wrote in a social media post on X that the people transferred were “high impact criminals” that “represented a real threat to the country’s security.”
It is the third time in less than one year that Mexico has sent detained cartel members to the U.S. as the country attempts to offset mounting threats by U.S. President Donald Trump. García Harfuch said the government has sent 92 people in total.
North Dakota’s Attorney General Drew Wrigley has served notice to an abortion drug trafficking company, Prairie Abortion Fund. The pro-unborn-child-murder group has been “providing” the unborn baby murder pill to North Dakota residents in violation of its prescription drug laws.
Attorney General Wrigley stated, “Our BCI [Bureau of Criminal Investigation] was able to purchase abortion pills from websites promoted by Prairie Abortion Fund without providing any health information and without providing any verification of identity or age. These actions pose a significant health risk to pregnant women and facilitate the violation of North Dakota’s healthcare requirements, in part, by taking doctors out of the equation. As a North Dakota nonprofit corporation, by referring and actively linking to websites that unlawfully sells products, Prairie Abortion Fund lends credibility and trustworthiness to unlawful websites that otherwise would look much more suspicious.”
Last Friday, in an aggressive but totally justified action, North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley “issued a Cease & Desist Order against Prairie Abortion Fund, a North Dakota nonprofit corporation located in Fargo, who is actively promoting and facilitating the unlawful sale of abortion pills in North Dakota.
What specifically are they alleged to be doing?
Prairie Abortion Fund violated the North Dakota Consumer Fraud Law, N.D.C.C. ch. 51-15, by promoting and facilitating the unlawful sale of counterfeit, unapproved, untested, misbranded, or misrepresented products, the unlawful sale of products without a required prescription, and the unlawful sale and unsupervised use of products required to be administered under the supervision of a physician.
After nearly 10 years of fighting and winning a SCOTUS decision, Christian organizations have finally officially won their fight to stop forcing religious organizations to fund abortions. New York has officially settled with the Christian organizations, guaranteeing they will no longer be forced to fund abortions.
One of the plaintiffs’ attorneys, Lori Windham, said of the settlement, “For nearly a decade, New York bureaucrats tried to strong-arm nuns into paying for abortions because they serve all those in need. At long last, the state has given up its disgraceful campaign. This victory confirms that the government cannot punish religious ministries for living out their faith by serving everyone. The Supreme Court has made it abundantly clear that religious groups shouldn’t be bullied for staying true to their faith.”
Christian organizations spent nearly a decade fighting New York’s requirement that they pay for abortions. They came out victorious on Friday, thanks in part to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in June.
In January 2017, then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced that the Empire State would require employers to not only pay for contraceptive drugs and devices but for “all medically necessary abortion services.”
Cuomo, a Catholic, said that the mandate was one of a number of regulatory actions that would “help ensure that whatever happens at the federal level, women in our state will have cost-free access to reproductive health care.”
