Denver Mayor Mike Johnston has formally banned Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from city property as well as mandated the detention of any agent who uses “excessive force” on city residents.
The Democrat leader officially moved to protect illegal aliens from federal immigration enforcement with an executive order that comes amid his party’s efforts to use the current partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as leverage to force changes to ICE that would severely impact its mission.
“No ICE officer gets to stand in our way of saving someone’s life. To protect Denver, if we see any ICE officer using excessive force against a Denver resident,
It’s been a banner year for “pow” for many U.S. skiers, but it doesn’t come without risk.
A harrowing video shows two skiers at the Palisades Tahoe resort in California very likely saving a stranger’s life. Only parts of a buried man and his ski gear could be seen peeking above heavy snow while he struggled to breathe.
“For whatever reason we stopped and happened to just see tips of the skis in the whiteout, and luckily we did,” video poster, Carson Schmidt said.
As Schmidt skied towards his friend, he spotted the buried man.
“Hey, are they good?” he said.
He wasn’t.
That’s when both skiers rushed to shovel away the snow with their hands.
Nearly a year after a nine-person jury found Greenpeace liable for $667 million in damages in a case related to the Dakota Access Pipeline, a North Dakota judge has said the environmental organization will soon be ordered to make good on the damages.
In court papers filed Tuesday, Judge James Gion granted a motion filed by Energy Transfer, the company that owns the pipeline, and said he intends to issue the final judgment on the case soon.
Donald Trump’s job approval rating landed at a healthy 51 percent in a poll taken entirely after the president’s triumphant State of the Union address Tuesday night.
The Trafalgar Group surveyed 1,084 likely voters between February 24-26 and found that 47.1 percent of those polled “strongly approved” of the job the president is doing, while 3.7 percent approved.
Trump’s disapproval rating sits at 48 percent. That number is made up of 39.1 percent who strongly disapprove of the job he’s doing, while 8.5 percent merely disapprove.
Although Trafalgar is seen as a pollster that favors Republicans, it should be noted that during the 2024 presidential election,
A 25-year-old Texas man is accused of drugging a pregnant woman with abortion pills and causing her to have a miscarriage.
Jon Demeter was arrested and is facing a charge for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, although legal experts told local news outlet KHOU he could end up being charged with capital murder depending on how the district attorney’s office approaches the case.
Investigators believe Demeter secretly drugged a woman with abortion drugs after repeatedly asking her to have an abortion. They said Demeter also offered to pay the woman to travel out of Texas to have an abortion, but the woman wanted to carry the baby to term.
School officials in Lee County, Florida have taken sweeping disciplinary action against students who abandoned classrooms to participate in coordinated anti-ICE walkout protests earlier this month.
According to district officials, 2,480 students were identified for engaging in disruptive conduct during demonstrations that took place between February 4 and February 6, part of a broader protest movement that involved more than 3,600 students across 14 schools in the county.
And now, discipline is coming down.
School officials confirmed that dozens of Lee County Public School students have already been suspended for their involvement in the demonstrations, with the district warning that more punishments are likely

Female in Locker Room replies
The Loudoun County School Board has reached a settlement with two male students who were suspended after they expressed discomfort with the presence of a girl in their locker room.
In March, a female student at Stone Bridge High School recorded a group of boys in the men’s locker room asking why a girl was allowed to use the boys’ locker room. The female student identifies as a boy. Although recording in locker rooms is against district policy, the district opened a Title IX investigation into the three boys and accused them of sexual harassment and sex-based discrimination.
Update: 30 more people were arrested in connection with the Don Lemon Minnesota church storming case.

More than 20,000 illegal alien commercial truck drivers in California were about to lose their licenses, until a judge stepped in.
The Trump administration has been pressuring California to revoke the licenses of some illegal alien truck drivers after a series of news reports about truck drivers who did not understand English, causing deadly accidents.
An Alameda County Superior Court judge issued a ruling on Wednesday barring the state from canceling the licenses.
Vice President J.D. Vance was in Wisconsin yesterday, visiting a machining factory in Plover, Wisconsin to reinforce President Trump's State of the Union message about the American economy and the nation heading in the right direction.

“Green” Suicide
replies
As badly as “green” mythology has damaged the United States, it has been even more devastating to a number of other countries, including Great Britain. Thus, we have this cri de cœur: “Britain’s industry ‘on cliff edge’ over cost of electricity.” It is becoming impossible to sustain basic industries–the ones most essential to any nation’s security–in the U.K.
Britain is committing a “national act of self-harm” through its high energy prices and risks losing its few remaining electricity-hungry industries, the chief executive of the Society of Chemical Industry has warned.
Sharon Todd said the country’s industry was “standing on the edge of a cliff”, facing electricity prices among the highest

Following major backlash about the scheduled release of a serial child molester through California’s elderly parole program, the 64-year-old is now facing new charges that could keep him behind bars.
News that David Allen Funston was set to be freed was met by outrage among victims, politicians and others. (snip)
Funston, granted parole earlier this month, was set to be released on Thursday from state prison — but was rearrested that same day on new charges from a decades-old, untried case. The charges he’s facing are from a 1996 case in which he is accused of sexually assaulting a child in Roseville, according to the Placer County district attorney’s office.
Pakistan bombed Afghanistan's capital Kabul as well as two other provinces on Friday, after the Afghan Taliban announced a major offensive against Pakistani military posts near the border on Thursday night.
Friday's events escalated a long-running conflict that has had the UN, China, Iran, Turkey and Saudi Arabia calling on both sides to stop fighting.
Here's a rundown of what happened today:
Pakistani forces struck Kabul and the provinces of Kandahar and Paktika but the casualty count remains unclear

The pajama party is over.
Tampa International Airport set the internet ablaze on Thursday after its official X account declared war on what it called a full-blown fashion emergency unfolding at the gate.
“We’ve seen enough. We’ve had enough. It’s time to ban pajamas at Tampa International Airport,” its post read.
After bragging about previously “banning Crocs,” the airport said they were moving on to address an “even larger crisis: Pajamas. At. The. Airport. In the middle of the day.”
“The madness stops today,” the X post read.” The movement starts now. Help Tampa International Airport become the world’s first Crocs-free AND pajama-free airport. Do your part. Say no to pajamas at TPA.”
Baltimore, Maryland’s watchdog agency is suing Democratic Mayor Brandon Scott for allegedly withholding records on potential abuse of public funds.
Scott is hampering officials’ “ability to adequately investigate complaints of fraud, financial waste, and abuse in City government,” Baltimore Inspector General Isabel Cumming’s office claimed Tuesday in local court. The lawsuit follows Scott continually barring Cumming from accessing payroll information on the Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement (MONSE), which Scott created in 2020 to reduce gun violence through community organizing, according to multiple reports.
At the state level, excessive overtime and other missteps among government employees cost Maryland taxpayers millions of dollars,

The Trump administration is looking at the issues implicated in Ilhan Omar’s naturalization. That is what is to be inferred from Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon’s comments in the video clip below: “It’s a truism of immigration law that if you commit fraud in the course of obtaining your citizenship…if you lie about your marriage status on which your citizenship depends or you’re familial status or what have you, if you fake any of those documents or you lie that’s a grounds for denaturalization and so I think it’s been credibly alleged that there are serious questions about the circumstances

Politicians love nothing more than spending, as our dangerously surging fiscal deficits clearly show. But rather than cut unnecessary spending, which would be the most logical thing, Democrats continue to push the dumbest non-solution for our soaring spending, deficits, and debt: tax the rich.
When asked why he robbed banks, Depression-era bank-robber Willie Sutton reportedly responded: “Because that’s where the money is.”
Funny, but elected Democrats in blue states today deploy the same logic in their growing calls to “tax the rich.”
As CNBC’s Robert Frank recently noted,
President Donald Trump’s 2026 State of the Union was one for the ages, and the night is still producing glorious fruit.
Trump held nothing back as he stealthily revealed the Democratic Party’s current “America last” position on the world stage. His repeated shaming enraged his political foes to the point where Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib began screaming like children.
Now it’s been revealed what Talib was mimicking while Republicans were patriotically chanting “U.S.A.! U.S.A.!” and it’s as predictable as you’d expect. (X) Seriously.
At least that’s what the live clip looks like, which can be viewed below:
The congresswoman at the center of Thursday’s wild closed-door testimony involving Crooked Hillary Clinton is not backing down from her Democratic haters, who are flipping out.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Hillary Clinton’s lawyers abruptly halted the Epstein deposition on Thursday after a photo of Hillary was leaked to conservative podcast host Benny Johnson.
The photo of Johnson was provided by Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO).
Clinton left the room over the leaked photo, and when she returned, she sparred with Chairman James Comer (R-KY).
Citizenship is not a technicality. It is not a loophole. It is not a prize slipped across a hospital bassinet because geography happened to cooperate. Citizenship is the highest legal bond between an individual and a sovereign nation.
If that bond means anything, it must mean allegiance. That is the principle at the center of President Donald J. Trump’s Executive Order 14160, signed on Jan. 20, 2025, titled Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship.
The order directs federal agencies not to recognize automatic citizenship for certain children born in the United States after Feb. 19, 2025. When the mother was unlawfully present, or present only temporarily,
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is drawing criticism after he dismissed reports of an unruly mob pelting NYPD officers with ice and snow at Washington Square Park earlier this week as a “snowball fight.”
Officers had been summoned to the park after several individuals, who had gathered for a massive snowball fight organized on social media, began climbing onto a nearby building.
Eyewitnesses say officers, using a loudspeaker, initially encouraged the crowd to stay in the park and to have fun and then stood back to monitor the situation.
Unless you’re chronically online, you’ve probably never heard of the Gen Z influencer “Clavicular.” Within a year, his fame will likely fade, and within five, he’ll seem like a fever dream. But he matters now because he represents something deeper: a generation of young men who have abandoned traditional masculinity for self-destructive vanity.
Clavicular is his streaming moniker. His real name is Braden Peters, and he was born at the tail end of 2005. He attended a famous Roman Catholic all-boys prep school in West Orange, N.J. At 14 years old, he began self-administering testosterone injections.
