A Federal judge and Obama appointee has blocked the Trump administration from deporting censorship campaigner Imran Ahmed after the State Department sanctioned him for pressuring American companies to suppress U.S. speech. (snip) "The Supreme Court and Congress have repeatedly made clear: The United States is under no obligation to allow foreign aliens to come to our country or reside here," the State Department said (snip) following the ruling. Ahmed, a British citizen of Afghan heritage, holds permanent residency through a green card.
Well, that was snow disappointing.
The Big Apple only received a third of the predicted winter wonderland dumping — but enough precipitation still fell to snarl hundreds of fliers’ holiday plans.
New Yorkers woke up Saturday morning to a roughly 4-inch blanket, a far cry from the nearly 11-inch pummeling city officials had warned was incoming.
The storm was going into a lot of cold air, which is dense. It kind of slows things down quite a bit,” explained Accuweather meteorologist Melissa Constancer.
New York’s sharp change in forecast came around 9 p.m. Friday, when the city’s Emergency Management department alerted that between just 2 and 5 inches were predicted to fall
Minnesota Lt. Gov. and U.S. Senate candidate Peggy Flanagan was seen on a Somali TV station wearing a hijab at a mall, as a widespread fraud scandal implicating some Somalis plagues the state.

Florida Democratic U.S. Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, who was indicted by a grand jury last month for allegedly stealing money from FEMA, published Thursday what appears to be an edited version of her House portrait minus a fancy ring.
The indictment alleges Cherfilus-McCormick, her brother Edwin Cherfilus and several co-defendants stole $5 million from FEMA, laundered the proceeds, and used them to fund her 2021 congressional campaign.
Court documents allege that part of the stolen funds were used to purchase the missing yellow diamond ring, after the indictment claimed she cashed a cashier’s check worth approximately $109,000 to buy a ring on or about Sept. 1, 2021.
The left-wing environmental, social, and governance movement, which only a few years ago was deeply embedded in corporate America, is now facing an assault on one of its greatest sources of leverage and control -- the corporate proxy vote. (snip) President Trump took action on Dec. 11 against two firms that have a virtual duopoly in advising (snip) asset managers on how to vote. (snip) Trump's Executive Order directs the SEC to review its rules on proxy voting, particularly where they have been used to introduce ideology into corporate governance.

Look for wild vote fluctuations for days after polls close. Counteroffensives include an executive order by President Trump followed by a challenge to Mississippi's counting process that has not reached the U.S. Supreme Court. Ohio's legislature voted to require all its ballots to arrive on election night to be tallied. With constant pressure from liberal activists, some states now dispatch mail-in ballots 45-60 days before Election Day and allow the counting of such absentee ballots as many as three weeks afterward, creating an election trimester that causes vote tallies to wildly fluctuate days after polls close and increasingly erodes American's trust.
One day last week I was walking down the street when a van with blacked-out windows pulled up to the curb. Three masked men jumped out and before I knew it they were bundling me into the back of the vehicle. They chloroformed me and for a while I was out.
When I came to, the van was pulling up to a building, a brand-new skyscraper with a Japanese name on the front that I didn’t catch. They hustled me into the building, which seemed deserted, and on to an elevator. We rode the elevator to the top floor.
I still had no idea what was going on, but when they headed
EU leaders from across the spectrum of their collective assembly, are furious with the administration of President Donald Trump for restricting their entry into the United States by blocking their visa permissions. However, these same EU leaders are the people who sent operatives into the United States in order to interfere in our 2024 election.
The Vice President of the European Commission, Kaja Kallas, sums up the European position: “The decision by the U.S. to impose travel restrictions on European citizens and officials is unacceptable and an attempt to challenge our sovereignty. Europe will keep defending its values (snip) and the right to regulate our own space.”
In an interview with Harrison Berger, formerly of Drop Site News (which received $250,000 from George Soros), Tucker Carlson claimed that the recent TPUSA poll showing that a majority of attendees thought that “Radical Islam” was the greatest threat to America was really an Israeli “op”.
“I don’t know anyone in the United States in the last 24 years who’s been killed by radical Islam.” Tucker Carlson claimed. He argued that, “I believe in measuring reality a little more empirically” meaning that since, presumably Tucker didn’t know them personally, they don’t matter and don’t exist.
A key GOP senator is expressing optimism that Republicans and Democrats will agree to a deal that would extend expiring health care subsidies, but the effort faces an uphill climb in winning the backing of leaders in both parties.
Without a deal, health insurance premiums are projected to spike by double digits next month, yet Senate leaders John Thune (R-S.D.) and Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) each have reasons to shy away from backing a bipartisan deal. At the same time, failure to pass a bipartisan deal to rein in rising premiums could set the stage for another government -
“The Dems are the ones who worked with Epstein, not the Republicans,” Trump said. “Release all of their names, embarrass them, and get back to helping our Country!”
This is a reversal from earlier this week, when Trump actually defended Bill Clinton and decried the exposure of “other people that innocently met Jeffrey Epstein years ago.”
While taking questions from reporters at Mar-a-Lago on Monday, Trump told reporters that he’s “always gotten along with Bill Clinton.” Trump added, “I hate to see photos come out of him, but this is what the Democrats, mostly Democrats, and a couple of bad Republicans, are asking for.”

On Friday, FBI Director Kash Patel took to X to announce the official shuttering of the J. Edgar Hoover FBI Headquarters building. Patel first made this announcement in May during an interview on Fox News' Sunday Morning Futures program with Maria Bartiromo. Since Congress holds the power of the purse to designate what happens with federal buildings, Patel cleared the proper channels in order to finally execute his plan.The Hoover Building has been a money-suck since its inception. Original construction was planned to be set in 1963 for an estimated $60 million. The construction wasn't completed until over 10 years later, to the tune of $126 million.
A viral video highlighting the Quality Learning Center in Minneapolis has reignited scrutiny of alleged fraud in Minnesota's child care programs under Governor Tim Walz (D).The clip, posted to social media accounts by independent videographer Nick Shirley, shows that the daycare in question, which Fox News reports is licensed to care for up to 99 children, was seriously bereft of children.
"There’s no one here," Shirley says in the video.
At one point, he and another man approach the building, prompting a woman there to shout to others, "Don’t open up. It’s ICE."
"Go away. You’re not welcome here. Shame on you," the woman states.
Netflix Clings to DEI

Adevastating and chilling article, “The Lost Generation,” by Jason Savage, was recently published in Compact about systematic discrimination against white men. The author, a scriptwriter, dedicates a portion of the article to DEI in Hollywood:“Every fellowship, grant, and hiring incentive was suddenly oriented toward changing who got in the door. The Writers Guild lists more than a dozen studio-run initiatives for emerging “diverse” writers. The Disney Writing Program, which prides itself on placing nearly all its fellows as staff writers, has awarded 107 writing fellowships and 17 directing fellowships over the past decade—none to white men. Nearly every capsule bio for these programs is an attempt to communicate,
The left seems to have decided that sedition is their ticket to winning over the American people and taking down Donald Trump, and they are going all-in on their efforts.
First, it was the now-infamous "Seditious Six" – a group of Democrat lawmakers who put out a video pleading with U.S. troops to not "give up the ship" and to consider defying orders from above if they deem them to be unlawful. The video was apparently in response to efforts by the Trump administration to cut off the flow of dangerous drugs into the U.S. with military-led strikes on drug-smuggling boats in the waters near Venezuela.
The Trump administration made a point of acknowledging the birth of Jesus Christ on Christmas, and the New York Times wasn’t having it. In an article entitled, “Trump Administration Emphasizes Religion in Official Christmas Messages,” the Times wanted its readers to know that once again the Trump administration is the worst, this time because people in government did not avoid “overtly religious language, as the Constitution prohibits the establishment of an official state religion.”
The Times, which consistently takes a “freedom FROM religion” approach except when that religion is the LGBTQ dogma or Islam, had to work to ignore the part in the Declaration of Independence that says
Michelle Goldberg's columns are a mixed bag. Usually they provide some clear insight into just what every other like-minded progressive is thinking at a given moment. Occasionally, she demonstrates a willingness to 2nd guess her own impulses but today is not one of those days. Today's column is pure holiday wish fulfillment. It's titled "Trump Is Getting Weaker, and the Resistance Is Getting Stronger."
It has been a gruesome year for those who see Donald Trump’s kakistocracy clearly. He returned to office newly emboldened, surrounded by obsequious tech barons, seemingly in command of not just the country but also the zeitgeist. Since then, it’s been a parade of nightmares
The Washington Post editorial board continues to challenge its progressive readers today with an editorial taking a shot at socialized medicine in the UK. As the paper notes, the UK's National Health Service is in the midst of an annual winter crisis reminiscent of COVID. The cause this year is the regular flu which is overwhelming hospitals and causing the nation's health secretary to warn sick people to stay home unless absolutely necessary.
The NHS has existed for years in a perpetual state of emergency. This was the case before the pandemic hit, and it has only gotten worse. Hospital corridors overflow and routine procedures get canceled
Arizona state Senator Janae Shamp is advancing legislation that would require Arizona to commission a formal study of “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” arguing that the phenomenon constitutes a legitimate mental health condition. Senate Bill 1070, if passed, would direct the Arizona Department of Health Services to conduct or support research to “advance the understanding of Trump Derangement Syndrome, including its origins, manifestations and long-term effects on individuals, communities and public discourse.” The text of the bill reads, the Arizona state "legislature finds that: The United States thrives on liberty, opportunity and civil discourse, yet extreme political polarization has fractured national unity, threatening the democratic values cherished by Arizonans."

As the 1992 campaign approached, incumbent president George H.W. Bush was seen as a shoo-in for reelection. The First Gulf War ended in 1991 with a spectacular U.S. victory at the head of a coalition that had expelled Saddam Hussein from Kuwait with few losses. For much of 1991, Bush’s approval ratings hovered between 90 and 70 percent. By February 1992, an obscure Arkansas governor, Bill Clinton, emerged as the favorite Democratic nominee. But he was written off as having little chance to knock off the popular Republican incumbent president with far more foreign affairs experience.
Trump White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been keeping one heck of a secret for the past few months: she's expecting a baby girl in May of 2026. Leavitt, 28, made the announcement on Friday, saying she was "thrilled" about growing her family with husband, Nick Riccio, 60, and commenting that motherhood was "the closest thing to Heaven on Earth." The couple welcomed their first child, son Niko, in July 2024.
"My husband and I are thrilled to grow our family and can’t wait to watch our son become a big brother," Leavitt wrote in a post on her personal Instagram account. "My heart is overflowing with gratitude to God
President Donald Trump had some fun talking with kids on the traditional, Christmas Eve NORAD Santa Claus hotline this week. While he joked that they were tracking Santa's movements, he assured the kids that Santa was good. (Snip) But it turns out that 'Santa' did have a little bit of a run-in with the cops when he was going through Ohio with Mrs. Claus. Sgt. Mark Robinson with the Fulton County Sheriff's Office thought that Santa was going a bit too fast, so he pulled him over. However, when he realized it was Santa, he just couldn't help but find the humor in it,
The third-ranking leader in the House of Representatives, who also happens to hail from Minnesota, demanded answers from Gov. Tim Walz after a YouTuber tried to confront employees of an alleged daycare center that had misspelled signage and no signs of activity outside but reportedly received $4 million in state funds. The video went viral this week amid the burgeoning scandal enveloping the Walz administration that notably included at least $1 billion lost to alleged social services fraud largely tied to the Somali community in the Twin Cities.
Newsguard will note for their information filtering system, that Mayor Jacob Frey did not directly say residents of the region will start killing ICE agents. However, Mayor Frey did say if the ICE deportation operations continue, ICE agents are likely to be killed. The obvious question is, ‘who will do the killing, Jacob‘?
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey have built the illegal alien powder-keg while both have financially benefitted from the subsequent Somali community fraud, then together they blame the presence of federal law enforcement -Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)- agents for striking the match.
