CNN could find itself in legal hot water after an exchange between Scott Jennings and Cameron Kasky led to the claim that President Donald Trump was "provably" part of a "human sex-trafficking ring," an obvious reference to Jeffrey Epstein's crimes. As you'll see in the transcript, Kasky, who is now a CNN commentator for reasons that escape me, didn't equivocate when he made the statement and went on to double down when asked to clarify.
Here was a bit of what went on during the segment, with Kasky telling Jennings that he's not allowed to use the term "illegal" anymore regarding immigration enforcement.

Over $1 Billion In Misused Medicaid Funds
For Illegal Aliens replies
In a major escalation of federal oversight, audits by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) under the Trump administration have determined that California must repay more than $1 billion in improperly claimed federal Medicaid funds tied to healthcare for illegal aliens. The findings highlight California's role as the "biggest culprit" among several blue states (snip) that collectively face demands to return $1.35 billion in questioned reimbursement. (snip) The audit found these funds were used to subsidize non-emergency healthcare for non-citizens violating federal restrictions that limit Medicaid reimbursements to emergency services only for non-citizens without saisfactory immigration status.
The study found enormous cost savings if New England's demand for electricity was met with nuclear, natural gas, or a combination of the two by 2050. It would also prevent dangerous blackouts that could last 18 hours under the renewables-only scenario. New England states pay the highest electricity costs in the continental U.S.. (snip) New England states also have some off the most aggressive net-zero emissions policies in the country, which aim to reduce emissions from electricity generation by 80% by 2050. (snip) New Englanders would save as much as $708 billion if it instead supported its grid with new natural gas plants (snip.)
In these dull, dank days of January, it’s hard to find any good news in the UK. So it is with great joy that I can report some truly excellent news: Dr Sarah Myhill has again defeated the General Medical Council (GMC) in a court action.
My good friend and colleague Dr Sarah Myhill is a truly outstanding doctor, who has devoted the last 40 years to putting patients’ wellbeing first.
‘But don’t all doctors put their patients’ wellbeing first?’ I hear you asking.
Well sadly not, which is precisely why she is the most prosecuted doctor in the history of the GMC. They keep trying;

Tricia McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary of Public Affairs for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had a warning for the Racial Justice Network and BLM activists who terrorized a St. Paul, MN congregation on Sunday: "There will be mugshots."
As RedState and our sister site Townhall reported, these so-called social justice warriors stormed into the Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, in the middle of their worship service, on the premise that one of the church's pastors was associated with ICE. My colleague Nick Arama revealed that former CNN anchor Don Lemon decided to join the terrorists to livestream the protest, because "journalism."

We’ve been treated to some horrendous halftime shows since the advent of the Super Bowl almost 60 years ago — think Janet Jackson/Justin Timberlake — and some fabulous ones too (think: Prince). It’s become a much-hyped tradition that gets some people excited while sending others to the kitchen to make a sandwich and get ready for the third quarter. The National Football League has notoriously strayed away from its moneymaker, football, and waded into social politics before, to the chagrin of many a loyal fan. Remember their ludicrous endzone statements that began after the George Floyd riots in 2020 and their pithy little meaningless pronouncements like,
The EU sanctions have resulted in grotesque consequences for both men. Their bank accounts in the EU have been frozen. They cannot use their credit cards. They have no right to enter EU countries. Baud is subsisting on the food stored in his house in Belgium.... According to one report, "[h]is ability to travel inside the EU was revoked. He cannot even return to his own country."
The French government, which sanctioned both men while providing no proof of guilt or affording them due process, has asked that the sanctions be extended to all EU member countries.
With the economy showing signs of strengthening, Democrats clearly hope that their attacks on ICE will help them win control of Congress after the midterm elections. Which is another reason for President Donald Trump to stay the course.
As Politico put it, “An ICE agent’s killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis has pushed the fight over immigration enforcement to the center of the midterm campaign trail — opening new fault lines in some of Democrats’ most competitive congressional primaries.”
It is true that the polls are not looking so hot for Trump’s handling of one of his signature campaign promises.
An autonomous territory of Denmark thousands of kilometers from the US is currently center stage in a geopolitical tussle.
US President Donald Trump says it's "unacceptable" that Greenland should not come under US control and has threatened tariffs on any countries who don't fall in line with his plans.
While the territory is geographically in North America, its relationship with Denmark means it is culturally and politically European.
Meanwhile, citizens and the governments of Denmark and Greenland are doing their best to resist Trump's overtures while Europe, China and Russia assess the importance of the vast, icy island to their interests.
How many times have you heard it said that Barack Obama was “deporter in chief”? How many times did Joe Biden brag that he’d deported more illegal immigrants than Donald Trump had in his first term?
Turns out, those were wild distortions of the truth bordering – if you will pardon the pun – on outright lies.
In late 2024, for example, we saw stories about how deportations that year were the largest in a decade, beating Trump’s record in what would be his first term.
As NPR put it, this meant that “the Republican narrative that the Biden administration has not done anything to combat illegal immigration is just not true.”
William Kelly, the DC-based agitator who was arrested on Friday and released only to storm a St. Paul church with other anti-ICE agitators on Sunday, has said he "feels good" about his actions after visiting a local mosque that he praised, in contrast to churchgoers that he harassed on Sunday.
"So we’ve been invited to the local Somali mosque, and as you can see how beautiful it is. This is where they do their prayer," Kelly said. "This is where normally, 500 people will, you know, come and make prayer, but things are quiet because the local community is scared to come out. They’re terrified. It was an honor
A Chinese intelligence official’s autobiography details decades of efforts to cultivate ties with American officials, culminating in an alleged plot with a three-star U.S. general to annex strategic territory for Beijing, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation discovered.
Chinese-American businessman Eugene Ji, who owns two golf courses flanking Louisiana’s Barksdale Air Force Base, developed a years-long professional and personal relationship with retired Army Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré, which allegedly included expensive gifts and meetings with high-ranking Chinese government officials, according to DCNF translations of Chinese government announcements and Ji’s 2014 Chinese language autobiography “New Circle.” Among other concerning episodes, the autobiography claims the pair organized an event to bring Chinese
A "racial equity" and "restorative justice" nonprofit funded by Minnesota taxpayers is calling for donations to a new bail fund that’s helping free anti-ICE agitators and illegal immigrants detained in Minneapolis.
The Legal Rights Center, which Minnesota attorney general Keith Ellison led for five years, is promoting the People’s Bail Fund of Minnesota through Know Your Rights MN, a Legal Rights Center project that provides legal information and resources for activists. The project’s website was updated Thursday to include a link to the bail fund, which only secured nonprofit status last week and is actively "accepting requests for ICE protest cases," according to its Instagram account.
Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D., Va.) has appointed two Qatari lobbyists to serve on George Mason University’s board of visitors, a Washington Free Beacon review has found.
Spanberger, who was sworn into office on Saturday, tapped former Reps. James Moran (D., Va.) and Tom Davis (R., Va.) to serve on George Mason’s 16-person board of visitors, which advises the school on "policy-making and oversight." After retiring from Congress in 2015, Moran launched Moran Global Strategies, which registered as a foreign agent of the Qatari embassy in April 2023. Davis, who resigned from Congress in 2008, is a lobbyist at Holland & Knight, which subcontracts with Moran’s firm on its Qatari lobbying contract.
The Department of Justice has announced that they will be arresting Don Lemon and open investigations into the storming of Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. (X) Lemon will reportedly be arrested by the Trump administration under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act and the Ku Klux Klan Act.
“The Klan Act is one of the most important federal civil rights statutes,” said Civil Rights Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon on The Benny Johnson Show. It's a law that makes it illegal to terrorize and violate the civil rights of citizens. Whenever people conspire this, the Klan Act can be used.” (X) “Don Lemon himself
Entrepreneur Hari Raghavan posted a screenshot of a letter he received from California looking for taxes from four years ago — after he says he moved out of the former Golden State.
“[S]eriously: 4 years later CA is hunting down those who left,” Raghavn wrote on X, adding that the state is demanding a “Narrative of the circumstances surrounding you becoming non-residents.”
“[W]hat a joke,” he added. “This is what a failing state looks like.”
Yep. [Tweet]
It’s probably not a coincidence that Raghavan has said things the Thought Police find offensive.
Actress Frances Fisher lead a left-wing assumable cast calling for a mass “walkout” in protest of President Donald Trump and a “walk in” to congressional offices to demand the president’s impeachment.
“I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore,” the Edge of Night and Titanic star screamed into the camera at the top of the two-minute video.
“IT’S PAST TIME! On January 20, the one year anniversary of this illegal administration, we are demanding that it come to an end!” the Remove Coalition Instagram post read. “In partnership with the @womensmarch #freeamerica WALKOUT, we will then WALK IN to local congressional offices peacefully demanding impeachment
Democrat Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina appeared on ‘The View’ on Monday and claimed that Republicans are trying to bring back slavery.
This is not only insane and untrue, it’s a complete perversion of history. The Republican Party was founded to end slavery in the United States. Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican president, who fought the Democrats on the issue of slavery, which escalated into the American Civil War.
Democrats do this all the time. In 2012, Joe Biden famously said to a mostly black audience that Republicans want to ‘put y’all back in chains.’
Clyburn knows better than this. They all do.

Somewhere out there in the great cosmos, Saul Alinsky is cackling with glee over the way Democrats are providing top cover for the commie radicals running roughshod over the rule of law in Minnesota.
The latest elected official to earn Alinsky's approval, while also making a mockery of law and order, is Minnesota's Attorney General himself, Democrat Keith Ellison. Ellison, who is Muslim and the top law enforcement officer in the state, appeared Monday on Don Lemon's livestream to discuss the Sunday ambush of services at Cities Church in St. Paul by a horde of anti-ICE agitators.
President Trump just received a resounding applause as he stood for the national anthem at the College Football National Championship between Indiana and Miami. [Tweet, video]

President Trump also made a statement before his appearance at the game, saying: “For more than 150 years, college football has been a cherished fixture in American culture…From the very first collegiate matchup in 1869,
Russian President Vladimir Putin has received an invitation to join Donald Trump’s proposed Board of Peace for Gaza, the Kremlin said. Putin “received an offer through diplomatic channels” and Russia aims to contact the US side to clarify all the details of the proposal, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Monday. Argentine President Javier Milei and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney are set to become founding members of the Gaza committee, they said Saturday, while other invitees include Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Brazil’s leader Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

Why are American progressives, who believe in gay rights and abortion, aligned with radical Islamists, who want a religious dictatorship? Because “the enemy of my enemy is my friend,” writes Peter Schweizer in his new book, “The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon.” In this exclusive excerpt, he explains that they are after the same thing: the destruction of Western society from within.
Ismail Selim Elbarasse, an accountant by training, seemed to be living a quiet life in Annandale, Virginia. But in 2004, when police officers noticed him driving with his wife across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and filming its critical structural elements,
President Trump and his administration need to see the immigration fight through all the way to the end. Illegal immigrants have to go, every single one of them, no exceptions, no special rules, because they're nice or they have a dog or they're hanging out in the vicinity of a church or it's Tuesday and a full moon. Every single one of them needs to be gone. And if we don't do it, the country is screwed in the long term. In the short term, the Republicans are screwed.
State Rep. Leigh Finke, a Democrat from St. Paul, posted on Facebook following an anti-ICE mob storming a local church service, calling the incident “essential” and saying that it “must continue.”(snip)
“The next riots will be necessary too,” Finke said during a speech in 2022.
