Just when you've thought you've heard it all from the Democrats in Virginia, along comes a Bangladeshi state lawmaker with a bill to make "Islamophobia" a "hate crime" and also "assault and battery." Not content to merely jack up taxes, hinder the deportations of violent illegals, and take away guns, Democrats in the Old Dominion are now attempting to police speech about Muslims.
SB624, which was introduced in January by State Senator Saddam Azlan Salim – a Democrat from Northern Virginia's 37th district – seeks to to "define and punish" cases of "Islamophobia" as it "relates to the crime of assault and battery
The Trump administration is moving ahead with plans to ask the forbidden "citizenship question" on the 2030 Census. The question seems mundane enough. At one point in the census question now being field-tested in Alabama and South Carolina, the respondent is asked, "Is this person a citizen of the United States?"
There are five possible answers:
Yes, born in the United States.
Yes, born in Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, or Northern Marianas.
Yes, born abroad to U.S. citizen parent (s).
Yes, U.S. citizen by naturalization — print year of naturalization.
No, not a U. S. citizen.

The truth about Algerian boxer Imane Khelif has finally come out, and it comes directly from Khelif himself. He is, admits the man who won the gold medal in women's welterweight boxing at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, a biological male.
In an interview with a French sports outlet, Khelif confesses to having the SRY gene, which is located on the Y chromosome and is found in biological males. He also reveals that he underwent hormone therapy ahead of the Olympics in an effort to reduce his testosterone levels. "I have taken hormone treatments to lower my testosterone levels for competitions," he said.
Prepare to be shocked, folks!
Another planet-saving environmental solution foisted on the populace by all-seeing bureaucrats has turned into an expensive failure. The latest boondoggle is playing out in the upper New England area, where once again the “experts” in all things ecological lacked logic.
A brand new fleet of EV buses, touted energetically last summer, has been brought to a halt in the frigid climes, frozen in place, if you will. This is all because the geniuses behind this globe-preserving mandate were incapable of divining that conditions in the area could quite possibly impact their harp seal-snuggling directives. The manufacturer, Green Mountain Transit of Montpelier,
Let's see how things are going in the communist utopia of New York, a month after Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani was sworn in as mayor. Nearly two weeks after a massive winter storm hit the Big Apple, mountains of garbage line the still snow-covered streets (but not around Gracie Mansion, of course), (Snip) But for one commie New York teacher, the solution to stopping businesses and wealthy New Yorkers from leaving the city is just to...seize the business and make it illegal to leave (some of us would call that "imprisonment").
Some critics of the Trump Administration’s enforcement of federal immigration law, including members of the public, the media, and Congress, have made misleading claims about the due process rights that apply in immigration proceedings. Those who claim that non-citizens, referred to in our nation’s immigration laws as aliens, are entitled to the full panoply of constitutional rights enjoyed by American citizens are simply wrong .(snipIn fact, several federal immigration statutes specifically bar aliens from even asserting certain claims in federal courts. Federal courts assuming jurisdiction over such claims by aliens are violating federal law, and any orders they issue ought to be declared void (snip) by an appellate court.
Republicans in Congress have shot down Democrats’ new list of 10 demands to reform Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after two high-profile fatal shootings involving ICE and Border Patrol in Minnesota.
The demands are part of a deal to keep the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funded past its mid-February deadline. If the parties are unable to come to an agreement, it could result in a partial DHS shutdown.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) said the list is “unrealistic and unserious,” according to CBS News. He warned that Republicans would not agree to these demands.
A federal judge in Massachusetts on Thursday blocked the Trump administration from using taxpayer information to help Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) track down illegal immigrants.
U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani ordered the IRS and Social Security Administration to stop sharing data with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ICE. She also prohibited the agencies from using the data to target illegals as the case proceeds.
Talwani rejected the government’s argument that noncitizens do not have Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures. The judge argued that using this method is “ripe for abuse”

U.S., Judge Ana Reyes Is Breaking the
Law, Not Trump Admin replies
Federal District Court Judge Ana Reyes of the District of Columbia recently issued an injunction telling Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem that she cannot end “Temporary Protected Status” (TPS) for Haitians who are in the U.S. Of course, Reyes had to blatantly violate federal law to do it because she has no jurisdiction to issue such an order!
In her order, Reyes, a Biden appointee (no surprise), stated that the termination “shall be null, void, and of no legal effect.”
U.S. stocks surged on Feb. 6 in a stunning turnaround that saw the blue-chip Dow soar more than 1,200 points to pierce and close above the 50,000 mark for the first time ever.
"The Dow reaching 50,000 is less about celebration and more about confirmation," said Gina Bolvin, president of Bolvin Wealth Management Group, in an email. "Markets have adjusted to higher rates, slower growth, and global uncertainty—and still moved higher. That tells us confidence is real, and 2026 will be less about the (Federal Reserve) and more about fundamentals."
After steep losses earlier in the week, investors decided that the sell-off was overdone and returned to the market. A jump
In welcome good news for the Trump administration out of the federal court system, a U.S. federal appeals court today vacated an earlier injunction that had blocked parts of President Donald Trump’s executive orders targeting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) programs.
In the Richmond, Virginia-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, a three-judge panel vacated the injunction that would have stopped the Trump administration from eliminating DEI programming in the federal government and among federal contractors.
In February 2025, right after Trump took office and issued his executive orders on DEI, U.S. District Judge Adam Abelson in Baltimore issued a preliminary injunction to stop the administration from implementing its plans.
Greg Gutfeld did what Greg Gutfeld does best on his late-night show this week: he grabbed a Democrat talking point, shook it until the hypocrisy fell out, and then held it up for everyone to see. The target was Democrats’ favorite attack line against voter ID laws, and specifically the SAVE Act, which they have hysterically branded as “Jim Crow 2.0.”
Gutfeld opened by zeroing in on the left’s most glaring contradiction. “You got to hand it to the Democrats,” he said. “On one hand, they think a child can handle the decision to lop off their genitals,
Old glitching Mitch appears to be glitching again. Is his Trump hate showing?
As Sen. Mitch McConnell prepares to ride off into the congressional sunset, the Kentucky Republican is said to be sticking it to President Donald Trump one more time. And the sticking this time, not surprisingly, involves one of Trump’s most urgent concerns: election integrity.
“Oh, yeah, that’s what McConnell is doing. Personally speaking, I think it still stems from Jan. 6 (2021 Capitol riots),” a top congressional aide told The Federalist on Thursday afternoon, as the battle over the SAVE Act ground down to trench warfare.
Each day more and more people are starting to realize/notice there are elements of the United States intelligence apparatus that are targeting Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. The need for control is a reaction to fear, and Tulsi Gabbard has the DC Intelligence Community very worried.
What you will read below is something that was written back in 2024 about the potential for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), if President Trump were to win the election.(snip)

Michigan and Alabama Republicans took major steps this week to secure their states’ elections from foreign dark money.
The GOP-controlled Michigan House passed legislation (HB 5197) on Thursday that seeks to prohibit foreign nationals from contributing money to ballot initiative campaigns. The measure HB 5197 stipulates that Michigan ballot question committees “shall not knowingly or willfully receive, solicit, or accept contributions from a foreign national, whether directly or indirectly.” 97-6, with seven members not voting.
CTH reader “Charles” asked a great question yesterday that deserves some expansion:
CHARLES: “I’m having some trouble parsing how exfiltrating [deporting] illegal alien workers thereby pushing American wages upward can cause a decrease in inflation. Conventional wisdom for my whole life (73 years) has held that increasing labor costs drive inflation upwards.”
(snip) Charles is essentially correct from a historical reference. However, we are in uncharted territory due to the scale of illegal aliens within the U.S. economy in this modern era. The answer is a commonsense theory(snip)
ANSWER: A much larger percentage of illegal aliens live on various subsidies and govt spending programs than our native American population.
An illegal immigrant who was released into the US by the Biden administration allegedly killed an innocent driver during a police chase in California last month, officials said.
Darwin Felipe Bahamon Martinez, a 21-year-old Colombian national, was nabbed by authorities after illegally crossing the California-Mexico border in August 2023, but was allowed back on the streets, according to the ICE.
On Jan. 21, he led police in Anaheim on a three-minute chase after officers attempted to pull him over for driving recklessly, NBC Los Angeles reported. Bahamon Martinez then crashed into two vehicles in nearby Placentia, killing father Jose Antonio Ramos Hernandez, 59, and injuring an 83-year-old woman.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a designated terrorist organization, said on Thursday it seized two vessels in the Persian Gulf that were allegedly carrying smuggled fuel.
Later that day, a former Iranian official threatened to turn the Strait of Hormuz into a “place of massacre and hell” if there is a conflict with the United States[snip] On Tuesday, IRGC forces used small boats and a drone to harass a U.S.-flagged and crewed merchant ship named MV Stena Imperative that was conducting a lawful transit through international waters.

On the same day, an Iranian drone made an aggressive approach to the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln,
Chuck Schumer found himself in an awkward spot this week when confronted with polling data that completely undercut his attack on voter ID laws. The Senate Minority Leader appeared on MSNOW's Morning Joe on Thursday to discuss the GOP-backed SAVE Act, which would require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections. What followed was the exemplification of political discomfort.
Earlier in the week, CNN's chief analyst Harry Enten dropped some numbers that should make Democrats rethink their messaging on election security. Voter ID requirements enjoy overwhelming bipartisan support, with approval ratings consistently above 75% across demographics.
As year two of the Trump 2.0 presidency begins, President Trump faces a pivotal decision on Iran: pursue a grand bargain with the Iranian regime through negotiations or leverage military might to undermine the regime and bolster efforts by the Iranian people to oust their murderous government.
Iran’s domestic upheaval presents both risks and opportunities for U.S. policy. Protests that erupted in late December 2025 over economic woes, inflation, and governance failures have spread to all 31 provinces, even loyalist strongholds, marking the regime’s weakest moment since 1979.
Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s regime responded with a deadly crackdown, including mass arrests and executions.
President Trump launched his TrumpRx website on Thursday, vowing Americans would “save a fortune” from cheaper drug prices on everything from Ozempic to fertility treatments.
“This is a very big deal. People are going to save a lot of money and be healthy,” Trump declared at an event announcing the new program.
Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, was at the launch and boasted that “America will lose about 100 million pounds this year” from cheaper GLP-1s drugs.
Mayor Karen Bass claims that she did not edit the LAFD’s after-action report on the Palisades Fire to shield the department and the city from responsibility.
She admits, however, that she told the authors to check information about weather and budgets.
That sounds like it might have been benign — until you consider that weather and budgets are at the core of what went wrong last January.The National Weather Service predicted an extreme high wind event, with life-threatening winds, days before January 7. The mayor knew about these predictions and left the country anyway.

In my meandering imagination, I was a liberal, yearning to join the anti-ICE peaceful protest in Minneapolis and trying to figure out how I would let our government know how strenuously I object to their policy of deporting illegal aliens.
I summoned up an article I had read by the esteemed Daniel Greenfield in which he spelled out in vivid detail the exact kinds of people I would be supporting, defending, and advocating for, all who had been charged with or convicted of the following crimes:
California Attorney General Rob Bonta fell all over himself Thursday claiming that the California Department of Justice was working to tackle fraud in the state. (snip) Friday morning, the Small Business Administration upstaged AG Bonta and announced it has uncovered $8.6 billion in suspected fraud tied to Covid-era relief lending in California and has suspended more than 111,000 borrowers in the state. (snip) SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler said the borrowers are suspected of improper activity involving federal pandemic programs, including Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) funds.
