Understanding the battle for America’s soul

FOR A long time, and certainly fully exposed since 2016, there has been a clash of two totally opposing understandings of the world. These two forces are globalism and populism, and they are more important and more divided than left and right. Each is more dominant on one of the traditional sides of politics than the other, but each also crosses those old left-right lines and in some ways make them obsolete.

The FBI Thwarted Another New Year’s Eve Terror Plot, This Time in North Carolina

New Orleans Terror Attack

We’re thankful that this New Year’s Eve passed in relative peace. It’s a welcome change from last year, when 2025 started with a terrorist attack in New Orleans.

Texas native Shamsud Din-Jabbar, 42, drove his truck through a crowd celebrating the New Year on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, killing fourteen and injuring at least 30 more. He was inspired by ISIS, and IEDs were found at the scene, along with an ISIS flag.

Checking on a Sudden Net Worth Boom for Ilhan Omar

Socialist Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) is much richer than when she entered Congress, and it’s more than just the $174,000-a-year congressional salary. She married her campaign strategist Tim Mynett after her campaign dumped an eye-popping $2.9 million into his consulting business during the 2020 election cycle.

When the “independent fact checkers” get involved, they sound like they’re defending the Democrats. An X post by Snopes.com declared: “A rumor circulating on social media claims Rep. Ilhan Omar’s net worth skyrocketed after she took office in 2019. We reviewed her financial disclosure reports to check the facts.”

California sets up a showdown with Washington by reissuing licenses to killer migrant truckers

California has delayed its cancellation of thousands of commercial driver’s licenses held by migrants, setting it up for another showdown with Washington.

The Department of Motor Vehicles announced on Tuesday that the 17,000 migrant truck drivers whose licenses had been revoked can now keep them for 60 more days, which could enable the drivers to retake tests and do whatever is necessary to remain legal.

China Signals It Won’t Give an Inch to the U.S. in Latin America

China intends to keep playing in the U.S. backyard, Latin America.

The Trump administration took veiled swipes at China in its national-security strategy with the vow to “restore American pre-eminence in the Western Hemisphere” and “deny non-Hemispheric competitors.”

Less than a week after the release of the U.S. strategy in December, Beijing issued a little-noticed policy paper on Latin America and the Caribbean that geopolitical analysts say foreshadows more U.S.-China jostling for regional influence.

Trump warns US will intervene if Iran kills protesters

US President Donald Trump has warned Iran’s authorities against killing peaceful protesters, saying Washington “will come to their rescue”.

In a brief post on social media, he wrote: “We are locked and loaded and ready to go.” He gave no further details.

A senior adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, responded by saying Trump should “be careful” if he intervened, warning of potential chaos across the Middle East.

Heroes and Zeroes of 2025

Martyrdom, moral clarity, and the unmasking of the American Left.

To nobody’s surprise, 2025 was a tumultuous year. Reversing a half-century of cultural, domestic, and geopolitical rot had to take a heavy toll, which it did in the blood of one crusader. Yet while the denizens of Leftist Hell increased their demonic shrieking, fearless conservative leaders began to expose them as the denuded maniacs they are. This, despite dissension on the Right — though not the true spiritual Right, led by the man shot dead in Utah last September. Whether common sense will be in ascent or descent next Christmas depends on who will follow in his footsteps over the next few months.

President Trump Tells Mar-a-Lago Guests Daycare Fraud Totals $18 Billion, Scandal Extends Beyond Minnesota to Multiple States

President Trump didn’t let New Year’s festivities stop him from taking aim at Minnesota’s daycare fraud scandal, telling Mar-a-Lago partygoers the problem extends far beyond one state.

“Can you imagine they stole $18 billion,” the president said during remarks made at his annual New Year’s Eve celebration. “That’s just what we’re learning about. That’s peanuts. And California is worse, Illinois is worse and sadly New York is worse.”

“We’re going to get to the bottom of all those. It was a giant scam.”

Some snowbirds want out of Florida. A bad housing market makes it hard to leave

As the era of bilateral bad blood between Canada and the U.S. drags on, some snowbirds are facing a choice this January: Go south to warmer climes, or boycott a country that has gone from friend to somewhat of a foe.

That decision is more difficult for the hundreds of thousands of Canadians who collectively own an estimated $60 billion worth of property in Florida, the favoured refuge for generations of the winter-weary.

Donna Lockhart, a snowbird from Ennismore, Ont., decided the recent anti-Canadian sentiment was too much to bear and it was time to put her condo near Punta Gorda, Fla., up for sale and get out of U.S. President Donald Trump’s America.

Laughable Criticism of Nick Shirley

It is absolutely true that Nick Shirley’s one-day video blitz investigation of Somali daycares in Minnesota produced insufficient evidence to put anybody in jail.

It’s even possible that he made a mistake or two, although given what we already know, the preponderance of the evidence says that most of these daycares are shell companies that exist only to fleece the government. It’s not like Shirley’s video is the only evidence—the US Attorney is actively prosecuting cases, and now citizen journalists around the country are revealing fake Somali daycares.

Minn. Somali-run day care bizarrely reports all their important documents about child care were stolen in mysterious break-in

Stupid white liberal woman in public declaration of stupidity

A Somali-run day care in Minneapolis is claiming somebody broke in and stole “important documents” as the national spotlight shines on the unfolding multibillion-dollar fraud scandal involving Minnesota human services.

Nasrulah Mohamed, manager of Nakomis Day Care Center, told reporters that a suspect entered through the kitchen at the rear of the facility, damaging a wall and breaking into the building’s office, sometime on Tuesday.

He said the alleged prowler stole “important documentation” including children’s enrollment information, employee documentation and checkbooks.

Talk about hard luck!

Why Israel and Trump Should Be Cautious About Pakistani Troops in Gaza

Israeli officials report that three countries have agreed to Washington’s request to participate in a postwar Gaza “International Stabilization Force” (ISF). The identities of all three have not been disclosed, though Indonesia may be one of them. Earlier reports also identified Pakistan as a possible contributor to the ISF.

In addition, Pakistan does not officially recognize Israel, and has never designated Hamas as a terrorist organization. It may well have an interest in making sure that Hamas can continue its “resistance” — meaning terrorism.

Trump Admin Looking at Revoking Somali Citizenship

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the Trump administration wanted to revoke the citizenship of any Somali Americans convicted of fraud amid a large-scale welfare scandal engulfing Minnesota.

“It’s something the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of State is currently looking at right now,” she said during an interview on Fox and Friends Wednesday morning.

Please don’t let them into Canada.

Somali Congresswoman Ilhan Omar facing probe over how her family wealth rocketed from near-nothing to $30million in just one year

Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is facing scrutiny after her assets appeared to skyrocket from only $1,000 to almost $30 million in just one year.

Two companies, both owned by her husband and listed on Omar’s most recent financial disclosure form, seemed to explode in value between 2023 and last year.

Rose Lake Capital LLC was valued between $5 million and $25 million in 2024, according to the document, filed in May.
