Trump Skipping Super Bowl: 'Anti-Them' Because They 'Sow Hatred'
 |
A woke Super Bowl halftime show has President Donald Trump OK with skipping the game, because the all-American event planners and entertainers are seeking to "sow hatred." "I'm anti-them," Trump told the New York Post of the NFL's selections of anti-Trump musicians Bad Bunny and Green Day as feature performers.
"I think it's a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible." Trump has confirmed he will not attend Super Bowl LX in San Francisco on Feb. 8, breaking with his recent pattern of high-profile sports appearances, but noted his absence was due to the cross-country travel during the busy presidential schedule. "It's just too far away," Trump said. "I would. I've gotten great hands for the Super Bowl, they like me. "I would go if, you know, it was a little bit shorter." Notably, Trump is the only president to have attended a Super Bowl in-person, becoming the first to do so last year in New Orleans. Bad Bunny and Green Day have spoke out against Trump's effort to keep law and order against illegal criminal aliens that were permitted to flood the country unchecked during the Biden administration. "I'm not a part of a redneck agenda; I'm not a part of the MAGA agenda," Green Day lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong. Trump has voiced displeasure over the NFL's lineup, amid broader conservative backlash to the controversial halftime acts; critics have highlighted both artists’ past commentary on Trump and political issues. The announcement comes as Winter Olympics diplomacy and high-level U.S. delegations draw attention away from that weekend, with Vice President JD Vance slated to lead the U.S. delegation at the Feb. 6 opening ceremony in Italy. |
You're Fired! Kash Patel Reportedly Ousts Multiple FBI Agents Tied to 'Get Trump' Efforts
 |
We reported Thursday on the bizarre trophy FBI officials gave themselves to congratulate their team on the failed Arctic Frost probe, Special Counsel Jack Smith’s Don Quixote-like quest to destroy Donald Trump over alleged “election interference.” Smith himself faced prolonged grilling Thursday at a House of
Representatives Judiciary Committee Hearing, and the short version is:
he came off looking like a partisan hack
who had exactly zero scruples when it came to his maniacal effort to
bring down the (at the time private citizen, and now once again
president) Donald Trump. FBI Director Kash Patel, who announced the bizarre “trophy story” last night, wasn’t done, however: he’s reportedly sent at least eight agents who participated in the witch hunt to LinkedIn looking for new jobs. Bye bye:
FBI Scores Major New Win: Top '10 Most Wanted' Fugitive Captured in Mexico Although leftist outlets like MS NOW, formerly MSNBC, are using highly charged language like “purge,” the reality is he’s been getting rid of woke partisan actors who seemingly had agendas far beyond fighting crime:
Agents like that will not be missed. As we have reported mercilessly, the rot at the Federal Bureau of Investigation is real, marked by the Machiavellian turn by former director “8647” Saint James Comey, and continuing under the ruinous direction of Christopher Wray. There really is a Deep State — and Patel is one hundred percent on target for cleaning it out. This is what we voted for. |
Blue Lives Matter Has Another Hilarious Update on Next Operation to 'Fake Out' the Anti-ICE Agitators
 |
We reported the other day on a terrific X post from Blue Lives Matter about faking out the anti-ICE agitators. We're not saying that Blue Lives Matter was behind feeding false information to far-left, anti-ICE protestors.
It was great. They "weren't saying" they were operating in nine different states and frustrating the anti-ICE crew. Now they have an update on "#operationfakeout" involving the "Report ICE activity" hotlines.
Oh, now that was a classic scene from the movie, A Bronx Tale. Blue Lives Matter made it clear they weren't calling in the addresses.
Just the thought is something else. And while they're occupied with that, ICE can go about doing its job without being interrupted. It's about stymying their interference. The group also listed a variety of "ICE activity" numbers to call in their post. Part of the beauty is things being done without the anti-ICE folks knowing. But we'll keep an eye out for any videos for you, if they have any. |
The Good and the Bad From Bill Maher Last Night...and His Take on the MN ICE Shooting Was Pretty Ugly
 |
Season 24 of Real Time with Bill Maher kicked off on HBO last night. There was the good, the bad, and the very ugly, per usual, though the past few seasons have seen the comedian increasingly mock and attack the illiberal tendencies on his own side. Maher has praised Ron DeSantis for doing a better job on COVID, reading the science rather than the science fiction, as Cuomo did in New York, which got people killed, and credited him with not being too far off on concerns about Disney hiring creeps. What made things more entertaining was that Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA)
was a guest. He took Maher to school on immigration and the negotiations
about some compromise on that issue, which will never happen, because
Democrats want amnesty across the board:
Yet, based on the image, you could probably guess that Maher considered the shooting of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis to be an execution, comparing it to the image of the South Vietnamese national police chief executing Viet Cong Captain Nguyễn Văn Lém on the streets of Saigon in 1968. It was all captured by the Associated Press. That’s not what happened, Bill. Good rammed her vehicle into the ICE agent, and he defended himself. It’s all on video. Kennedy also took Maher to task over who really weaponized the government against their political enemies:
The irony about Maher’s take on the Minneapolis ICE shooting is that his take is a liberal media bubble position, something he said we should move out of to close the show:

Venezuela's Acting President Pretty Much Confirms the US Said Play Ball With Us or Die
 |
On January 3, the American Delta Force operatives captured Nicolas Maduro and his wife. Caracas was pummeled with a series of airstrikes, with helicopters taking out their targets with impunity. The layered air defense that experts said would’ve caused trouble for any US Air Force operations was rendered useless. Operation Absolute Resolve was a stunning success. Only liberal Democrats, progressives, and other anti-American scum were aghast and appalled by this action. Acting President Delcy Rodríguez has come forward, detailing how
much time she, serving as vice president at the time, had to make a
decision about her life. She was given a whopping 15 minutes to
determine whether she wanted to play ball with Washington or be
neutralized (via The Guardian):
She made the right choice. |
Calif: L.A. charity exec. arrested in $23M homeless services fraud scheme
 |
Federal authorities arrested the executive director of a South Los Angeles-based charity on Friday on charges that he orchestrated a massive $23 million fraud scheme, siphoning taxpayer funds intended for the city’s homeless population to bankroll a lifestyle of luxury. Alexander Soofer, 42, the head of the Hyde Park-based nonprofit
Abundant Blessings, was taken into custody at his Westwood home by
federal agents.
Prosecutors say that while Soofer claimed to be housing and feeding hundreds of vulnerable residents, he was instead treating public funds as his “personal piggybank,” spending millions on a $7 million mansion, private jets and high-end designer goods. According to the criminal complaint, Soofer’s charity received more than $23 million between 2018 and 2025 through contracts with the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) and other partner organizations. In exchange, Abundant Blessings was tasked with providing housing and three nutritious, balanced meals a day for over 600 participants. Investigators also painted a much grimmer picture of the reality at Soofer’s sites.
While the city’s most vulnerable were left with meager rations, prosecutors allege Soofer diverted at least $10 million for personal use. The list of expenditures outlined by the Department of Justice includes:
He is charged with wire fraud, which carries a maximum statutory sentence of 20 years in federal prison. Additionally, L.A. County District Attorney Nathan Hochman announced 11 felony counts of conflict of interest, forgery and offering false evidence. If convicted on these state charges, Soofer faces an additional 17 years. L.A. Democrat Mayor Karen Bass later issued a statement calling the allegations “despicable” while emphasizing a “zero tolerance” policy for fraud within the city’s homelessness programs.
Soofer made his initial court appearance on Friday afternoon in U.S. District Court in Santa Ana. |
Media Meltdown Over Child Detention Reveals Political Agenda Behind Outrage
 |
The outrage machine in the mainstream media lit up this week after photos circulated of a five-year-old boy, identified as Liam Conejo Ramos, being escorted by federal immigration agents outside his home in Columbia Heights, Minnesota. School officials and local leaders accused ICE of using the child as “bait” to lure family members, while the Department of Homeland Security pushed back, saying agents were conducting a targeted arrest and that the father fled, leaving the child momentarily unattended. The conflicting narratives have predictably split the country along partisan lines as pundits shouted for blood and elected officials scrambled for soundbites. Let’s be blunt:
enforcing the law is not a political hobby, it’s the backbone of a
functioning nation, and ICE agents are doing a job Democrat
soft-on-crime policies have made harder. According to reporting, agents
detained Liam and his father near their driveway after arriving home
from preschool, then moved the pair to a family detention facility in
Texas while the legal process plays out. DHS insists the child was not
targeted and that officers stayed to ensure his safety after the father
fled, a detail the left-wing narrative has downplayed in favor of
theatrical moral outrage. Conservative voices on the airwaves — including Greg Kelly and other commentators — rightly called out the media’s rush to judgment and reminded Americans that images alone do not tell the whole story. News outlets uncritically amplifying school officials’ emotional statements without noting DHS’s version of events only inflames tension and endangers the officers doing their duty. Americans who believe in due process should demand the full facts before crowning anyone a villain based on a single photo and a viral post. That does not mean there isn’t room for scrutiny. Questions remain about why agents didn’t place the child with a known adult on the scene, and local officials report multiple student detentions in recent weeks that have shaken community trust. Conservatives can and should hold law enforcement to a high standard while resisting the left’s calculated campaign to weaponize children as props in a political narrative. Fair accountability is one thing; performative outrage that ignores context is another. The larger story here is policy, not photographs — sanctuary and lax immigration practices have encouraged numbers and networks that make lawful enforcement complicated and dangerous. When local authorities refuse to cooperate and federal agents are constrained, operations must be conducted in the field under imperfect circumstances, and sometimes that means difficult choices to keep children from harm in freezing conditions. If progressives genuinely cared about outcomes they would stop protecting lawlessness and start helping fix porous borders and broken asylum rules that create these painful situations. Meanwhile, the people fomenting street theater and press conferences want headlines, not solutions, and too many in the media are happy to oblige. Their reflexive virtue signaling about a photograph distracts from the root causes: deliberate policy failures, decades of mixed signals on immigration, and legal processes that must be respected. Patriots should support reforms that prevent family separations by reducing unlawful entries and ensuring Interior enforcement is effective, transparent, and lawful. If Americans want fewer scenes like this in driveways across the country, we must demand a return to common-sense immigration enforcement, secure borders, and a justice system that treats facts, not feelings, as the starting point. Greg Kelly gave viewers a reminder that the media’s first instinct is often to inflame, and conservatives should keep pushing for law and order, accountability for bad policies, and care for real victims of criminality — not political theater. The nation deserves both compassion and security, and there is nothing un-American about insisting on both. |
Spanberger's Rapid Left Turn Exposes the Real Agenda in Virginia
 |
Abigail Spanberger sold herself to Virginians as a “moderate” who would keep the Commonwealth steady, but her first days in office have shown exactly how hollow that pitch was. On January 17 she signed ten executive orders that set a very different tone — sweeping directives on immigration, education, and state governance that mirror the national Democratic playbook. The speed and scope of these moves make clear that Spanberger plans to govern as a partisan left-wing executive, not the pragmatic centrist she promised. One of the most alarming actions
for conservatives was her immediate repeal of former Governor Youngkin’s
immigration order, which encouraged cooperation between state and
federal immigration authorities. Spanberger’s move to end that
arrangement will be hailed by open-borders activists, but Republicans
and law enforcement officials warn it handicaps local efforts to keep
dangerous illegal criminals off our streets. This isn’t innocent policy
tinkering — it’s a day-one signal that she will prioritize ideology over
the safety of everyday Virginians. Spanberger also wasted no time reshaping higher education leadership by naming 27 new appointees to the Boards of Visitors at U‑Va., George Mason, and VMI while ordering a review of the board selection process. Those appointments hand control to her allies and political picks, and they come amid ongoing federal investigations and contentious campus debates over discrimination and free speech. What she calls “restoring academic integrity” looks a lot like politicizing universities from the governor’s mansion, and it threatens the independence of institutions that should be insulated from partisan power grabs. Energy policy is next on her checklist — Spanberger has already announced plans to rejoin the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, resurrecting a multistate carbon scheme that critics call a backdoor tax on families. She spins this as “cost savings” and aid for flood mitigation, but Virginia conservatives know RGGI’s auction fees translate into higher electric bills and an expanded regulatory regime that will hit working households and small businesses. If Virginians were hoping for relief after years of rising costs, this pivot should set off alarm bells in every county. Her “High-Quality Public Education” order reads like a PR brochure while leaving out the real choices parents care about, like school choice and local control. Spanberger’s directives create new workgroups and listening tours but refuse to acknowledge that education freedom — not more state mandates — is what will deliver opportunities for children locked into failing systems. Conservatives should expect more bureaucratic layering and messaging about “equity” while practical solutions are shoved to the sidelines. Taken together, these first-week actions expose a clear pattern: Spanberger ran toward the center to win, then pivoted left to govern. Virginians who believed her moderate branding now face the consequences of a unified Democratic government rolling out policies that expand state power, raise costs, and decouple law enforcement from common-sense cooperation. This is the textbook progressive hand — move quickly, consolidate control over key institutions, and make sweeping changes before opposition can organize. Republicans and grassroots conservatives need to treat this moment like the wake-up call it is: mobilize, hold the new administration accountable at the ballot box and in the courts, and push back hard against any policy that raises taxes, weakens public safety, or co-opts our schools. Working families didn’t win an election just to watch their paychecks and freedoms get squeezed by clever political theater. If we want to protect Virginia’s future, we must be loud, organized, and relentless in defense of common-sense government. Spanberger promised moderation; what she delivered instead was a rapid leftward blitz that will change Virginia’s politics and pocketbooks unless conservatives respond with the kind of focused, energetic opposition that defends liberty and opportunity for every Virginian. |

Trump Calls for Probe of Omar Over 'Financial and Political Crimes'
 |
President Donald Trump is calling for an investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar, accusing the Minnesota Democrat of committing financial and political crimes after her net worth climbed into the millions following her entry into Congress in 2019. "Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is worth over $30 Million Dollars," Trump posted Thursday on Truth Social. "There is no way such wealth could have been accumulated, legally, while being paid the salary of a politician. She should be investigated for Financial and Political Crimes, and that investigation should start, NOW!" Omar, a Somalia-born U.S. citizen who has represented the Minneapolis-based 5th District since 2019, has been a frequent target of Trump's public criticism. Earlier this month, he called for her to be jailed or deported in connection with allegations of billions of dollars of Somali-linked fraud in her home state. In both attacks, Trump did not cite evidence directly linking Omar to wrongdoing, and she has not been implicated in any Minnesota fraud case. Omar's net worth estimate cited by Trump is based on her financial disclosures. In a May 2025 disclosure, Omar listed two large assets tied to her husband, political consultant Tim Mynett, whom she married in 2020. He owns the eStCru LLC winery business valued at between $1 million and $5 million, and the Rose Lake Capital firm, valued between $5 million and $25 million. Based on those valuations, Omar and her husband have a net worth of between $6 million and $30 million, minus liabilities such as Omar's student loan debt of $15,000 to $50,000, as disclosed on a 2024 form. The vast majority of the couple's wealth is attributed to Mynett's assets, as Omar's personal assets are much smaller, ranging from $16,000 to $65,000. The House Oversight Committee is investigating Omar after the financial disclosure. "We're going to get answers, whether it's through the Ethics Committee or the Oversight Committee, one of the two," Oversight Committee Chair Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., said last week. The report comes as federal agents investigate a growing fraud scandal in Minnesota, the cost of which federal prosecutors estimate could top $9 billion. Trump's criticism also extended beyond fraud allegations this week. In a press conference at the White House on Tuesday, Trump attacked Somalis, saying they're only good when it comes to "pirating ships." "The Somalians, you know what they're good at, that's about the only thing they're good at, they're good at pirating ships at sea," he said. "Big ships." Minnesota's largest case is the Feeding Our Future scandal, a COVID-19-era scheme tied to the nonprofit that sponsored federal child-nutrition meal sites. Prosecutors said defendants submitted fake or inflated meal claims and invoices and siphoned off $250 million to $300 million that was meant to feed children. Last March, a Minnesota jury convicted Aimee Bock, founder of Feeding Our Future, on all counts as other defendants continued to plead guilty or face trial over the scheme. |
Anti-ICE Agitator Who Dared Bondi to Come Get Him Finds Out That Was a Bad Idea
 |
We reported earlier on the arrests of two people allegedly involved in disrupting the service at the Cities Church in St. Paul last Sunday. They chanted Renee Good's name and "Hands up, don't shoot!" among other things, as they shouted in the church. One was Nekima Levy Armstrong, who Bondi alleged played a key organizing role.
They also arrested Chauntyll Louisa Allen,
according to Bondi.
READ MORE about the Arrests of the Anti-ICE Agitators READ MORE about how DHS promised mugshots Now they've got a third person, and he was one of the people who was very vocal during the action at the church, an agitator named William Kelly. UPDATE: William Kelly is now in custody.
Kelly had challenged Bondi about bringing charges against him, saying, "So be it." He posted a video showing some of his actions at the church, referring to the people as "pretend Christians" and "comfortable white people." In his later comment, he called them "white supremacists." Bondi posted a portion of his video and said, "Ok," in response to the challenge to get him. Warning for graphic language: Fox News' Bill Melugin reported that Kelly had previously told Bondi in a video, "Come and get me, you traitorous bitch." We're in the "find out" stage right about now, and it's been a good day. None of these people helped themselves with their comments during and after the event. Armstrong tried to downplay the action, arguing they didn't "rush into the church," but that they "participated in the service." I think they're going to have a tough time with that kind of an argument, given the videos. READ MORE about those comments Nekima Levy Armstrong made in her CNN interview I'm thinking that with these new developments, Kelly might now be realizing that playing the tough guy wasn't such a good idea. |
Homan Plans to Defy Spanberger After ‘Bond Villain’ Blocks ICE Cooperation in VA: ‘Not Going to Stop’
 |
White House Border Czar Tom Homan sharply criticized Virginia's newly inaugurated Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) on Thursday, accusing her of undermining federal immigration enforcement efforts by signing an executive order that curtails the state's cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Spanberger, recently likened to a "Bond villain"
by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon, issued a series of
executive actions on her first day that read like a far-left wish list.
This, despite portraying herself as a moderate while running for the
office. One such action rescinded a prior directive from her Republican predecessor, Glenn Youngkin. Youngkin expanded collaboration among the Virginia State Police, the Department of Corrections, and ICE, allowing local officers to perform limited federal immigration duties and to facilitate the identification and deportation of individuals in custody who were subject to removal. She crumpled up that policy and tossed it in the trash within hours. And Homan is calling her out. “I’m a resident of Virginia, and Spanberger — I remember her campaign ads. ‘I’m a law enforcement officer. I rescued children from sex trafficking.’ I’ve seen the commercials,” Homan said in an interview with “Ruthless” co-host John Ashbrook. “So, first day in office, she stops being a law enforcement officer and became a politician because where’s all those commercials you did about supporting law enforcement and rescuing kids?” Campaigning as a tough-on-crime moderate, only to unleash sanctuary-style protections for illegals on day one, is certainly a choice. Homan went on to highlight the successes of the Trump administration in removing violent criminal illegal aliens from the United States, including locating "130,000 of those missing kids" lost under the Biden regime, as well as touting the recent surge in Minnesota. READ MORE: Trump Weighs in on If He Will Use Insurrection Act, Decimates Dems on Fraud and Anti-ICE Actions The Cowardice of Tim Walz Is on Full Display After Anti-ICE Agitators Invade Minnesota Church The border czar said he still hopes to work with Spanberger, but admitted it "doesn't look good." As such, the admin will simply have to keep flooding the zone in so-called sanctuary cities, where the "sanctuary" is exclusively felt by criminals, not by the American people. "I said it from Day 1: the thousands of agents we're bringing on - we're going to flood sanctuary cities," Homan said. "We have to because you created a problem when you released some public safety threats in the streets." “So, unfortunately, they set the stage, and we’re going to do what we’ve got to do. They’re not going to stop us. They can stand on the sidelines and watch," he chided. "Shame on them, but they’re not going to stop us from doing this mission.” President Trump appears to be on board, recently calling out Spanberger for limiting cooperation with ICE in Virginia. "Well, I hope there are no problems because if there are, she's not gonna get it corrected very easily. And, uh, that's a bad signal. You know, that's not where the country is," he said in an interview with Katie Pavlich of NewsNation. "The country doesn't wanna see murderers and drug dealers and gang members, and all coming from other countries and just stay in their area."
"Take a look at Washington DC, as you know better than anybody, it was very, very unsafe a year and a half ago. Because now it's a year, so I have to go a little more than a year ago, but it was a very, very unsafe place," the President told Pavlich. "And now it's totally safe. It's a, it's a beautiful, I mean, people are walking with their kids to restaurants." Spanberger would prefer that the citizens of Virginia hide in the shadows, staying behind locked doors at home, rather than having criminal illegal aliens be a little skittish about having to be held accountable. Any Bond villain would be nodding with approval. |
Well, We Know Why Don Lemon Wasn't Charged in the Minneapolis Church Storming Incident
 |
It sure seems like Don Lemon should’ve been charged for violating the FACE Act. Amy wrote yesterday that the round-ups have begun. Lemon, who is now independent, was there during the entire shambolic event last week, where leftist clowns stormed a church in Minneapolis because they thought an ICE agent was inside, specifically the priest or pastor whose been accused of working with federal immigration officials. The city has been on edge since the January 7 shooting of Renee
Nicole Good, who was shot and killed by an ICE agent after she rammed
him with her car. Good was a known leftist activist, who had disrupted
ICE raids before.
But Lemon was not charged, and we likely know why: the local judge’s wife works for Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison:
Well, that certainly explains a lot, huh?

JD Vance Sets the Record Straight on the Fake News About ICE in Minneapolis
 |
Vice President JD Vance was in Minneapolis yesterday and slapped down the viral fake news story that permeated the liberal media airwaves all day. If it wasn’t former Special Counsel Jack Smith being used as a punching bag by congressional Republicans yesterday during his testimony about his anti-Trump investigations, it was this wild tale of ICE agents in Minneapolis using kids as bait to lure their illegal alien parents for arrest: ICE
agents in Minnesota have detained a 5-year-old boy after using him as
“bait” to lure out his father, according to school officials. https://t.co/QaQDDnEDjz — The Daily Beast (@thedailybeast) January 22, 2026
Yeah, the father ran away and abandoned his child, so what’s ICE supposed to do, let the kid freeze to death—a point the Vice President Vance made when he was questioned about this incident.
“If the argument is that you can't arrest people who have violated our laws because they have children, then every single parent is going to be given immunity,” said the vice president. As Vance noted, that doesn’t make any sense. From DHS:
— End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) January 22, 2026 The point is if local and state officials cooperated with ICE, the chaos would be reduced dramatically. The vice president was in the city with local business leaders and law enforcement officials for a roundtable discussion.
