Spawn of Iran’s ruling elite living large in US — and fed-up Iranian-Americans want them deported

The pampered offspring of Iran’s ruling elite are living the American Dream as the country’s brutal regime kills protesters by the thousands — and fed-up Iranians in California and across the US want them out.

Two explosive online petitions have been gaining steam as they call on the US government to immediately deport Eissa Hashemi and Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larijani — the children of current and onetime prominent Iranian government figures enjoying the comforts of the “Great Satan’’ as opposed to the oppressive streets of Tehran.

Greenland Is the Flashpoint: China and Russia Test NATO, Canada, and Indigenous Arctic Jurisdictions

OTTAWA — The Arctic is no longer a margin. It is a hinge. It anchors nuclear deterrence, opens future maritime routes, and holds resources vital to global economies.

Over time, NATO Arctic countries have deployed forces, conducted exercises, and invested in infrastructure, but these measures have not kept pace with Russian and Chinese activity, evolving operational risks, and shifting environmental dynamics. Russian under-ice submarine operations, Chinese dual-use activity, and growing pressure on Arctic infrastructure are expanding as ice coverage shifts and navigable waters increase.

The Moral Blackmailing of the American People

In Springfield, Illinois, in 1838, a young Abraham Lincoln delivered a powerful speech decrying the “ravages of mob law” throughout the land. Lincoln warned, in eerily prescient fashion, that the spread of a then-ascendant “mobocratic spirit” threatened to sever the “attachment of the People” to their fellow countrymen and their nation. Lincoln’s opposition to anarchy of any kind was absolute and clarion: “There is no grievance that is a fit object of redress by mob law.”

What is the Insurrection Act?

President Donald Trump has again threatened to invoke a rarely used 19th Century law, this time to deploy the military to Minneapolis, Minnesota where thousands continue to protest against the large presence of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.

The demonstrations have intensified after an ICE officer fatally shot a protester, Renee Good, in her car last week. This week, federal law enforcement shot a man in the leg in Minneapolis in a move federal officials say was self defence.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said that “if the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT”.

Trump ending federal funding to sanctuary cities, states

President Trump announced early Wednesday that his administration will strip federal funding from sanctuary cities and states, in line with policies he promoted on the campaign trail.

“EFFECTIVE FEBRUARY FIRST, NO MORE PAYMENTS WILL BE MADE BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO STATES FOR THEIR CORRUPT CRIMINAL PROTECTION CENTERS KNOWN AS SANCTUARY CITIES,” the president wrote in a post on Truth Social.

What a President.

Who used the Maduro raid to earn $400K? The pool of suspects is alarming.

Hours before U.S. Army Delta Force commandos captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife during a nighttime raid in Caracas, an anonymous trader, using a newly created account on the prediction market Polymarket, wagered more than $30,000 that Maduro would be out of office by Jan. 31, 2026. The trader walked away with more than $400,000 in profit.

This was no ordinary bet on sports, weather, entertainment or trivia. It was a wager on matters of war and peace — among the gravest decisions a government can make. The “prediction” was timed with such pitch-perfect precision that it drew heavy media scrutiny and put prediction markets squarely in the spotlight. The transaction bore the hallmarks of insider trading. While the identity of the trader remains unknown, the mere possibility that a government insider could have pocketed more than $400,000 should be reason enough for Congress to act.

Canadian soldiers won’t be joining their European allies for a show of military force in Greenland.

Danish Armed Forces have begun deploying troops to the Arctic island in response to American insistence that it needs Greenland to bolster national security in the north.

State Department to Pause Visa Processing for 75 Countries

WASHINGTON—The State Department will indefinitely pause immigrant visa processing for 75 countries as part of the Trump administration’s ongoing effort to block low-income foreigners from immigrating to the U.S.

The pause takes effect starting Jan. 21, and will halt visa issuance to people looking to immigrate permanently, typically through marriage, family ties or work sponsorship. It doesn’t block people from obtaining tourist or temporary work visas.

The countries affected span the globe and include many in Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. Visa processing will now be paused for Russia, Thailand, Morocco, Colombia and Brazil, among others, according to a State Department official briefed on the plan.

Yes, Trump Would Be Totally Justified If He Invokes the Insurrection Act

President Donald Trump has once again threatened to bust out the Insurrection Act, to quell the violent, organized mob actions against federal law enforcement in blue cities, abetted by the TDS-riddled despots in their “sanctuary” fiefdoms who imagine they are more powerful than the federal government. The situation is making it impossible for the government to go about its business, enforcing the law.

Three men arrested for ‘attempted murder’ of feds in Minneapolis ID’d as illegal immigrants from Venezuela

The three men arrested for ambushing an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday have all been identified as illegal immigrants from Venezuela who were let into the country under the Biden administration, officials said Thursday, calling the attack an “attempted murder” of federal law enforcement officers.

The Department of Homeland Security said the suspects — Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, Alfredo Alejandro Ajorna and Gabriel Alejandro Hernandez-Ledzema — were all in the country illegally, and are now in ICE custody.

Greenland could cost the US $700bn

Buying Greenland could cost the United States as much as $700bn, officials have estimated, as Donald Trump presses on with his efforts to acquire the island.

Denmark and Greenland insist the semi-autonomous Danish territory is not for sale, but the US president has insisted he will take it “one way or the other” for national security reasons.

A meeting between American, Danish and Greenlandic officials in Washington on Wednesday failed to resolve the “fundamental disagreement” over the mineral-rich Arctic island.

Mayor Frey accuses ICE of ‘causing chaos’ in Minneapolis after illegal migrant who ambushed fed agent is shot

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey claimed ICE agents in the city were “causing chaos” after an illegal immigrant armed with a shovel “ambushed” an officer and was shot on Wednesday.

Frey blamed the nearly 3,000 federal officers deployed across Minneapolis as the reason for the disorder — which included the shooting death of 37-year-old anti-ICE agitator Renee Nicole Good — that has taken hold of the Minnesota area over the last week.

Denmark sends troops to Greenland as talks with US collapse

Denmark and at least three of its European allies are sending troops to Greenland after negotiations in Washington failed to deliver a breakthrough on President Trump’s demands to own the territory.

The hastily convened military deployment, a prelude to a larger exercise called Operation Arctic Endurance, will involve soldiers, naval vessels and aircraft from Denmark, and small numbers of unarmed or lightly armed personnel from Germany, Norway and Sweden.

Norway confirmed that it was sending two officers and Germany, which described the deployment as a “reconnaissance” mission, will send 13 personnel. France, Canada and the Netherlands are among the other Nato allies that may make contributions.
