Swedish authorities have launched a preliminary investigation into suspected sabotage and detained a vessel in the Baltic Sea after damage was reported to an undersea data cable between Latvia and Sweden. Latvian Foreign Minister Baiba Braze said early Monday that the cable was “significantly damaged” but the operator was prepared, so “we have not suffered any loss of data or transmission.” [SNIP] This is the latest in a string of ruptures of undersea cables in a vast underwater network of conduits that carry gas, electricity and internet traffic to millions of people across Northern Europe.

Mexican authorities blocked a US military plane from deporting illegal migrants on Thursday after President Trump's immigration crackdown began.
US officials told NBC News that a jet filled with illegal immigrants bound for Mexico never took off after authorities south of the border rejected the move.
The flight was one of three that were set to take off on Thursday, alongside two Guatemala-bound Air Force C-17s carrying over 150 people, as part of what Trump has described as the largest mass deportation effort in US history.
Deporting migrants to foreign countries requires permission from the incoming nation's government, which Mexico declined on Thursday.

Less than a month into 2025, the ‘Year of the Snake’ is already living up to its ominous reputation.

Why? Donald Trump’s abrupt shift in tone towards the war in Ukraine.

“Democratic lawmakers slam Trump for not making good on promise to ‘immediately’ lower food prices amid egg shortage,” shouts NBC News, pointing to a letter signed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren and other leftist lawmakers who accuse Trump of backtracking on his promise to deal with Bidenflation.

This weekend, a radio station owned by the George Soros-controlled Audacy outrageously identified the vehicle whereabouts of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents operating in San Jose, California, which is known for violent gang activity.
KCBS 740 AM – not to be confused with the Los Angeles CBS affiliate with the same name – elevated the insane unmasking of ICE agents from the leftist Rapid Response Network, which fights against deportation initiatives during the January 26 edition of KCBS Radio Weekend News.
But to make matters worse, anchor Bret Burkhart gave exact descriptions of the vehicles the ICE agents were reportedly using, including specific locations.

Do we think this would be happening for Nikki Haley? Or for Doug Burgum?
Is anyone among the many, many pundits who confidently explained that JD Vance was a disastrous, “net-negative” pick who “will do harm” to the ticket going to revisit his views?
