Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has ordered the US Air Force to return training modules about the Tuskegee Airmen and Women's Airforce Service Pilots, or WASPs, to the basic training curriculum. This training was reported as canceled Friday, an alleged casualty of President Trump's anti-DEI executive order; see The Air Force Seems to Have Decided to Use Malicious Compliance to Fight Trump's DEI Order – RedState.
The Air Force said Sunday that videos about the famed Tuskegee Airmen and a unit of pioneering female aviators would be restored to the basic training curriculum for new recruits beginning Monday.

Colombia refused two repatriation flights of illegal immigrants on Sunday, setting into motion one of the most savage actions by a U.S. president in recent memory.
In what he thought was a power move, President Gustavo Petro told President Donald Trump that he would not allow any more of his citizens to be returned until a protocol for the "dignified treatment" of "migrants" was established. Trump didn't flinch, immediately announcing escalating tariffs and a complete shutdown of visas for those traveling from Colombia, including government officials. With that promise of retaliation made, left-wingers immediately set to claim the results would be catastrophic.
The New York Post reports on another immigration crackdown:
Federal agents rounded up dozens of members of Tren de Aragua [Ed.: around fifty] in an overnight raid on a “makeshift nightclub” in Denver — after the vicious Venezuelan prison gang terrorized the city and the suburb of Aurora.
The DEA said agents in Colorado interrupted an “invite-only party” where dozens of the gangbangers were cutting loose in Adams County — just outside Denver city limits.
The busts netted cash, weapons, guns and drugs — including Tusi or “pink cocaine,” a powerful narcotic that the gang has played a major role in distributing across the US.
When CBS announced that it landed the first post-inaugural interview with Vice President JD Vance, with Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation, many conservatives questioned why Vance would even give the time of day to hateful “legacy” media. Within minutes, we had our answer.
The interview wasn’t very wide-ranging, with Brennan honing in on those spots where she could try to put Vance on his back foot. The first question set the tone: MARGARET BRENNAN: Pete Hegseth, it was a tie, bipartisan opposition, smallest margin since the job was created. You had to break that tie. If the nominee can't unite your party, how is he going to lead
Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a warning that President Donald Trump has been clear that the United States will “no longer be lied to nor taken advantage of.”
In a post on X, Rubio added that it was each country’s responsibility to “take back their citizens” who have been in the U.S. illegally. Rubio also referenced how Colombia President Gustavo Petro had initially “authorized flights and provided all needed authorizations,” before then refusing to accept “two flights containing a total of 160 deportable migrants.” After Trump intervened and threatened to impose several measures
Los Angeles County authorities announced Sunday evening at a mayor with L.A. Mayor Karen Bass that the Pacific Palisades will be completely reopened to residents in daylight hours on Monday, January 27 — far ahead of schedule.
Two days before, at a roundtable at a local fire station on Friday, Bass had told President Donald Trump that it was unsafe for residents to return. After residents at the meeting objected, Bass relented and said they could return “within a week.”
Trump replied: “That’s a long time, a week. I’ll be honest, to me, everyone standing
Haitian migrants have turned to religion amid the looming threat of deportation under the presidency of Donald Trump - who accused them of eating their neighbors' pets on the campaign trail. [SNIP] The town was thrust into the national spotlight during the presidential campaign when Trump accused Haitians in Springfield of eating their neighbor's cats and dogs.
Now, migrants in the community are concerned that they will be targeted and sent packing, as Trump authorizes ICE raids across the nation.
The government of Colombia has officially caved to President Trump, according to the White House.
"The Government of Colombia has agreed to all of President Trump’s terms, including the unrestricted acceptance of all illegal aliens from Colombia returned from the United States, including on U.S. military aircraft, without limitation or delay,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement recieved by Pj media. “Based on this agreement, the fully drafted IEEPA tariffs and sanctions will be held in reserve, and not signed, unless Colombia fails to honor this agreement. The visa sanctions issued by the State Department, and enhanced inspections from Customs and Border Protection, will remain in effect
Did we expect anything less than a thriller in this AFC Championship between these bitter rivals?
The Kansas City Chiefs held off the Buffalo Bills to win the AFC Championship Game, 32-29, in an absolute thriller at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday night.
The Chiefs will now have a shot at NFL history, as they can become the first team to ever win three straight Super Bowls if they can defeat the Philadelphia Eagles again.
Mysterious messages spelling "HELP" and "TRAFICO" have been discovered near the Union Pacific railroad yard at the intersection of E Cesar Chavez Ave and Mission Rd in Los Angeles.
The large-scale signs, visible from Google Maps, have sparked widespread speculation about their origin and meaning, ranging from concerns about human trafficking to protests against local displacement. The messages, created with debris, construction materials, and even spelled out on sidewalks, have drawn attention from community members and internet users alike. Some believe they could be cries for help from someone in distress. However, others suggest they are the work of a local homeless individual dealing with mental health challenges
Remember last week, when information leaked ahead of the incoming Trump administration's planned immigration raids in Chicago on Day Two (Tuesday)?
As I previously wrote, President Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, wasn't having it, telling a legacy media member that it wouldn't slow down operations already in motion in sanctuary cities across the country. Well, there's some bad news for those in blue states and cities who were patting themselves on the back for thwarting the return of law and order via Trump 47; they are quickly learning that the Trump administration does what it promises to do, as the operations got underway in the Windy City on Sunday:
President Donald Trump has been emphatic about his desire to acquire Greenland — the latest development in an eventful saga going back over 150 years. The world’s largest island has long presented an attractive prospect for American power projection. Located on the United States’s northeastern flank, developments in technology and the changing need for resources have only made the target more tempting. Before Trump’s efforts in 2019 and 2024-25, the U.S. undertook at least three major attempts to acquire Greenland throughout its history.
Here’s what happened the last three times the U.S. tried to acquire Greenland.
In the end, Donald Trump has Democrats to thank for delivering the first legislative victory of his second term.
Hours after he was sworn into office, a dozen Senate Democrats joined all Republicans in approving a bill that would require the detention and deportation of migrants accused of theft-related crimes. Moments later, the chamber unanimously confirmed their colleague, Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, to be Trump’s secretary of state. The votes marked a sharp reversal from the early days of Trump’s first term, when his narrow electoral college win sparked a nationwide resistance movement and a succession of Democratic victories. But unlike eight years ago, Trump won the popular vote
The Air Force said Sunday that videos about the famed Tuskegee Airmen and a unit of pioneering female aviators would be restored to the basic training curriculum for new recruits beginning Monday. A course that included the videos was shut down last week so officials could review it to make sure it complied with President Trump's executive order ending federal diversity, equity and inclusion programs, an Air Force official said. "DEI material" not permitted under Trump's order was removed from the course, but the historical videos will remain, the official said.
Good riddance to the World Health Organization, or more accurately, the Woke Health Oligarchy — since it’s a network of self-styled, anti-American scientists and diplomats determined to use the United States as its piggybank.
On Day 1, when President Trump announced he was withdrawing the country from WHO, scientists from universities and think tanks sounded the alarm, falsely claiming Trump’s move will isolate the United States from worldwide efforts to detect and limit deadly diseases.
Gov. Gavin Newsom is likely watching his presidential ambitions burn to ash before his eyes. The liberal governor has been dealing with raging wildfires in Los Angeles County for weeks, which has become the costliest natural disaster in American history. The reasons for the infernos burning uncontrollably are many, not least because the excesses of liberal governance hamstrung the first responders. The Los Angeles Fire Department got its budget slashed despite memos about how it could degrade responses to wildfires.
In a decisive move that has sent shockwaves through the political elite in Washington, President Trump has dismissed 17 inspectors general.
“The inspectors general were dismissed via emails from the White House Presidential Personnel Office, with no notice sent to lawmakers on Capitol Hill, who have pledged bipartisan support for the watchdogs, in advance of the firings, the person said,” reports Politico. “The emails gave no substantive explanation for the dismissals, with at least one citing ‘changing priorities’ for the move, the person added.”
Pseudo-intellectual elites like to talk about the “arc of history.” Barack Obama loved that phrase almost as much as he loved the word “existential.” Things in Barack’s rhetorical world didn’t just exist. They were in the state of “existential” and forever bending along the “arc of history.”
The elites assured that this “arc of history” will take us inevitably to a world of equity, inclusion and diversity – a utopian world the elites have always imagined. They even have a theme song for the journey:
“Imagine there’s no heaven, above us only sky,
Blah, blah, blah, blahhhh . . .”
Rain has finally returned to wildfire-scorched Los Angeles — but now officials are warning flooding and landslides could wreak more chaos on the battered city along its “burn scars.”
The National Weather Service issued a flood watch for the area from 4 p.m. Sunday to 4 p.m. Monday, with the danger focused on regions where the Palisades, Eaton and other fires previously raged.
“There is an increased risk of heavier rain rates and/or thunderstorms for many areas south of Point Conception, particularly Sun afternoon through Mon afternoon,” the National Weather Service Los Angeles said.
A heartwarming clip of first lady Melania Trump speaking in her native language while comforting victims of the Los Angeles wildfires has gone viral, with social media users praising the sweet moment.
The video, captured by RSBN news cameras and shared on social media by Melania fan account “FLOTUS Report,” shows the first lady shaking hands and having a solemn conversation with a small group of people in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood:
Deportations will continue every day and culminate in millions of illegal migrants being jettisoned from the US, as President Trump promised during the 2024 campaign, border czar Tom Homan says.
Homan, 63, declared Sunday that everyone who is in the US illegally is “on the table” for deportation and praised the Trump administration for sending a “strong signal to the world: Our border is closed.”
Homan — asked on ABC News’ “This Week,” “Is that going to be a constant commitment from the US military every single day to take deportees out?” — responded, “Yes.” (Photo)
More than a thousand US troops have been dispatched to the southern border
Colombian President Gustavo Petro backed down on his declaration that he would not accept deportation flights from the United States. He now says he will send his presidential plane to personally pick up the deported migrants, a U.S. official with knowledge on the matter told Breitbart News.
The Colombian president’s backpedaling came after President Donald Trump announced he would impose numerous sanctions—including “emergency 25% tariffs”—on Colombia in response to Petro’s reversal of his promise to accept deportation flights.On Sunday, Petro — who initially said he would accept deportation flights from the U.S. but then refused to receive two flights containing a total of 160 deportable migrants — suggested
In this episode of "The Sniveling Nonsense of Adam Schiff"...
In the unlikely event that California Democrat Senator Adam Schiff has ever missed an opportunity to make a fool out of himself, I'm not aware of it. From continually promising (lying) to reveal smoking-gun evidence that Hunter Biden's infamous laptop was a Russian plot — which he never produced — to outrageous unfounded charges about the Jan. 6 Capitol ,to now beclowning himself as President Donald Trump's deportation of illegal aliens gets underway, the ever-smug Schiff is all over it.
Schiff whined on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday that deporting illegals who steal is “terrible overreach.”
Governor JB Pritzker (D-IL) Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” warned the Trump administration that his local law enforcement “will stand up for those law-abiding, undocumented people” facing deportation.
Host Dana Bash said, “How are you preparing, particularly if they do target schools, churches and small businesses as they are now allowed to do?”Pritzker said, “Well, let me start by being clear that when we’re talking about violent criminals who have been convicted and who are undocumented, we don’t want them in our state. We want them out of the country. We hope they do get deported. And if that’s who they’re picking up, we’re all for it.

FIRST ON FOX: President Donald Trump’s executive order terminating all federal diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs has already sidelined 395 government bureaucrats, a senior administration official told Fox News Digital.
Trump’s newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), headed up by Elon Musk, wrote on X Friday that approximately $420 million in current/impending contracts, mainly focused on DEI initiatives, had also been canceled.
After Trump signed the order on the day of his inauguration, the federal Office of Personnel Management (OPM) notified heads of agencies and departments that they must begin taking steps to close all DEI offices by the end of the day Wednesday, and place government workers
Vice President JD Vance appeared on Face The Nation for his first TV interview since being sworn into office and shined as one would expect despite an expectedly hostile Margaret Brennan.
Brennan and Vance discussed several issues throughout their interview including cabinet nominations, immigration, disaster relief, and the J6 pardons. One moment that is garnering significant attention is the devoutly Catholic Vance calling out the US Conference of Catholic Bishops for their ridiculous statement on immigration enforcement.
Last week, the Trump Administration rescinded a guideline issued under the Biden regime which barred ICE from conducting enforcement in or near so-called “sensitive” areas.

The CIA's decision to release a Biden-era assessment favoring the once widely-dismissed COVID-19 lab-leak origin story marks a step toward transparency with the American people, newly-confirmed CIA Director John Ratcliffe told Fox News on Sunday.
Speaking in his first interview since being confirmed as the agency's director last Thursday, Ratcliffe spelled out the insights he made public shortly after taking over the post and affirmed the importance of restoring trust in American institutions.
"I had the opportunity on my first day to make public an assessment that actually took place in the Biden administration, so it can't be accused of being political, and the CIA has assessed that the most likely cause
In a major victory for law and order, federal narcotics agents arrested approximately 50 illegal aliens during a high-stakes drug trafficking raid in Adams County, Colorado, on Sunday.
According to officials, many of those apprehended have ties to the notorious Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua.
The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) Rocky Mountain Division, in collaboration with metro Denver law enforcement agencies and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Denver, executed the early morning raid at an illegal makeshift nightclub operating in the area.
A young black woman recently recorded a vulgar rant calling for the assassination of President Trump and falsely claiming that “maybe, if you shoot him, maybe the next president will give you a pardon for it, and you’ll be released out of jail.”
“We’re not doing that grazing his skin, his ear s***, okay? We’re going full-blown Lincoln, full-blown Kennedy right now,” the woman said.
“I don’t give a f*** anymore. I mean, you obviously know that because I’m posting this,” she continues. “Someone get up there. I need someone with precision that knows what they’re doing.”
It is unclear exactly when the clip was recorded, but she references the attempted assassination

However, within hours of Trump issuing a retaliatory threat to Colombia President Gustavo Petro, his stance changed. Petro backed down from Trump and said he would offer to send a presidential plane to repatriate deportees from the U.S. to avoid Trump's sanctions threat.
Original post:
President Donald Trump is retaliating against Colombia after the country rejected U.S. deportation flights carrying illegal immigrants. In a sharp retaliation, the Trump administration has announced a series of measures to pressure Colombia to comply, including suspending certain diplomatic and trade arrangements.
Colombian president Gustavo Petro reportedly offered the use of his presidential plane to help repatriate deportees from the U.S. on Sunday, shortly after President Donald Trump threatened the country with retaliatory tariffs for having turned away two U.S. military aircraft carrying the deportees earlier in the day, according to CNN.
Petro said he was blocking the flights from entering the country because the U.S. “can’t treat Colombian migrants like criminals,” and he initially insisted upon the use of civilian planes to transport the detainees.
ADAMS COUNTY, Colo. — The Drug Enforcement Administration detained roughly 50 people in Adams County early Sunday morning at what the special agent in charge called an invitation-only Tren de Aragua party. Denver7 Investigates' cameras exclusively captured video around 5:45 a.m. along the 6600 block of Federal Boulevard in Adams County, showing agents rounding up people and escorting them onto a bus. Most of the people detained are undocumented residents and are now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. According to Special Agent in Charge Jonathan Pullen, the DEA was executing a federal search warrant at a
Furious Donald Trump has hit back at Colombia and vowed to immediately impose an 'emergency 25% tariff on all goods'. Trump has lashed out at Colombia President Gustavo Petro after two U.S. military C-17 aircraft flights from California with 80 Colombian migrants each were not allowed to land. The flights werre initially cleared for landing but President Petro decided to revoke all diplomatic clearances, according to officials. Responding on Truth Social, Trump laid out his drastic measures, insisting this was "just the beginning" in a worrying threat.
On Sunday afternoon, he wrote: "I was just informed that two repatriation flights from the United States, with a large number of Illegal Criminals,
Sen. Lindsey Graham said he doesn’t approve of President Trump’s pardoning of the Jan. 6 rioters, especially those who “beat up cops” who were defending the Capitol.
“No,” Graham said, when asked whether he’s okay with the most violent offenders on Jan. 6 getting pardoned, in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“I’ve always said that I think when you pardon people who attack police officers, you’re sending the wrong signal to the public at large, and that’s not what you want to do to protect cops,” Graham continued. “But he has that power.”
A “Calexit” initiative to allow California to secede from the United States has been cleared to legally gather signatures. If passed, the proposed measure — “Calexit,” a nod to the Brexit vote in the UK — would be on the ballot in 2028 and ask voters: “Should California leave the United States and become a free and independent country?” For the measure to pass, at least 50% of registered voters must participate in the election, and at least 55% — or more than 500,000 people, must vote “yes” by July 22.

The Constitution page on Trump’s White House website is also showing a 404 “page not found” error.
The White House’s Spanish language website was also removed in 2017 by Trump administration officials. It was reinstated in 2021 when former President Biden assumed office.
America is headed for a depopulation crisis.
That, at least, is the major takeaway of a new report released this month by the Congressional Budget Office. According to the CBO, if current trends continue, American deaths will outnumber American births in a mere eight years. With a united Republican government, we have an opportunity to address this upcoming crisis by building on the economic success of President Trump’s first term and making it easier for Americans to start or expand their families.

Limiting Taxpayer-Funded Abortions Both
At Home And Abroad replies
President Donald Trump revoked former President Joe Biden’s orders expanding abortion access and ordered that the federal government and U.S. taxpayers no longer fund abortions at home and abroad Friday.
Trump signed an executive order enforcing “the Hyde Amendment and similar laws that prevent Federal funding of elective abortion, reflecting a longstanding consensus that American taxpayers should not be forced to pay for that practice.” By that order, Trump revoked two Biden-era orders protecting expanding access to abortion, accusing the previous administration of disregarding “this established, commonsense policy by embedding forced taxpayer funding of elective abortions in a wide variety of Federal programs.”
President Donald Trump (won't get tired of typing that for a long time) has done so much, so fast, that it's hard to believe. He's 78 years old but seems to have the energy of a much younger man. He has signed a huge host of executive orders, many of them revoking the previous administration's policies. He has engaged the press in free-wheeling, unscripted conversations. (Snip) The man is a flippin' prodigy. So much so, in fact, that we sometimes forget that there was another guy who served four years as president, and in between the two non-consecutive Trump terms, at that.
What was his name again?
Bureaucratic partisans be warned: The housecleaning at the Justice Department has begun.
And not a moment too soon.
On Monday, within hours of President Trump taking office, his team got to work reassigning at least 15 top careerists at Justice, shuffling them to less influential roles.
The switch-up included Deputy Assistant Attorney General George Toscas, a top dog at the National Security Division apparently deeply involved in the over-the-top raid on Mar-a-Lago in August 2022.
He and others have been sent to the new Office of Sanctuary Cities Enforcement, tasked with challenging local laws that impede vital immigration enforcement.
President Donald Trump suggested Saturday that he would like to “clean out” Gaza after the devastation of the war started by Hamas on October 7, 2023, sending residents to Egypt and Jordan for humanitarian reasons.
In a gaggle with reporters on Air Force One, Trump said: “I’d like Egypt to take people and I’d like Jordan to take people. You’re talking about, probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing and say, ‘You know it’s — over the centuries, it’s had many, many conflicts. And … something has to happen. It’s literally a demolition site … So I’d rather get involved with some of
After four years with a mumbling fool stumbling around in the role of “president,” we have a strong communicator back in the White House. The difference is striking. While President Trump was simultaneously signing executive orders and answering questions from the press on his first day back on the job, he suggested to those in attendance that he might have taken more questions in those first few hours than Joe Biden had taken during all four years in office. The assembled journalists seemed to quietly concur. Joe’s handlers spent every minute protecting him from even the most trivial journalistic inquiries; President Trump handles hostile questions
Pete Hegseth was finally confirmed as Defense Secretary on Friday evening, but not before Democrats and their RINO allies tried their best to derail his confirmation by dusting off the old playbook they used on Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
As PJ Media reported earlier this week, a convenient eleventh-hour accusation emerged from Danielle Hegseth Dietrich, the ex-wife of our new Secretary of Defense’s brother, who claimed that Pete Hegseth had abused his former wife, Samantha Deering. According to Danielle Dietrich's dubious affidavit, Deering allegedly "feared for her life," and was forced to hide in a closet to escape Hegseth's supposed fury.
Americans are unifying behind President Trump far more than we did in 2017. Eight years ago, cries of “not my president” resounded through Washington, DC, but this year, it seems the hard-left “resistance” has gone out with a whimper.
Unfortunately, that’s not the case inside the federal government.
A new poll from Napolitan News showed that 64% of the federal bureaucrats who work in DC and voted for Kamala Harris vow not to implement a lawful order from Trump if they consider it bad policy.
It was a great ride while it lasted, hey, lefties? But it’s over now. You have been left in the screech forward of history. That stink? It’s the burning wreckage of your “ideas”. All you weasely little people like the slender tight-mouthed beta-males at the Biden White House, or the cross-dressing central banker Mark Carney who is laughably trying to be Prime Minister of Canada after bankrupting not one but TWO countries, are history. Like Rory Stewart, the regime apologist in the U.K., who says things like “there’s something really dark and nasty behind the right”.
The Central Intelligence Agency said COVID-19 likely originated from a lab leak in China in a Saturday statement, pivoting from a previously neutral stance just a few days after Director John Ratcliffe was sworn in, multiple outlets report.

In his first term in office, President Trump apparently thought he could operate as if the federal government were a corporation he headed as Chief Executive and Commander in Chief of the armed forces. He assumed those beneath him would give him honest counsel, would perform their assigned duties, and follow his directives. He learned otherwise. All the steps he took the first week after beginning his astonishing second term are those a wise CEO and commander in chief must take to do the job he promised and was elected to do. The scope and speed of his actions are nothing short of breathtaking: Pardoning and commuting over 1000

On Newsmax recently, Homan pulled no punches on the subject of illegal immigration, utterly rejecting the false claim that protecting a nation‘s sovereignty is against Catholic Church doctrine (actually, heads of state have a duty to protect their people and can of course restrict immigration —
President Donald Trump indicated Saturday that he would like to “just clean out” Gaza and send the bombed-out Palestinian refugees from there to neighboring Middle Eastern nations.
During an extended question-and-answer on Air Force One, President Trump floated the idea of moving Palestinians to create a clean slate.

You can still get sports coverage on ESPN, but the ostensible sports network has been famously woke for years, with its NBA analyst and “First Take” host Stephen A. Smith leading the way. Smith has demonstrated more than once, however, that he is not a doctrinaire leftist who never dares to question the elites’ line. He has just shown this independent streak yet again, even going so far as to express regret that he voted for Kamala Harris, and offering a solid, common-sense reason why Trump won. Will Smith’s leftist fans follow his lead and start thinking for themselves as well?
Donald Trump’s first week in office was a whirlwind: executive orders on everything from closing the border to ending federal Diversity, Equity and Inclusion mandates.
Social media postings announced new business initiatives and put world leaders on notice that a new sheriff is in town.
Heads were spinning among the business and political elites, both back home and here at the World Economic Forum, the annual confab of the globalist crowd where I’ve been hanging for the past few days.
That’s because the decidedly non-globalist Trump, people here truly believe, could be on the verge of solving maybe the most intractable problem the world faces:
Former President Joe Biden, who is Catholic, joined a historically black Freemason lodge just one day before he left the presidency, an offense punishable by excommunication in the Church.
Biden was conferred with “Master Mason membership” and “full honors” on Jan. 19 at the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of South Carolina, according to the Conference of Grand Masters announcement. Joining the Freemasons as a Catholic forbids an individual from receiving communion, with the potential for excommunication, according to canon law of the Catholic Church.
