Today's News, January 10-14, 2026

IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) While it's early, it appears that the artificial "outrage" over the shooting of the MN would-be car murderer failed to achieve liftoff. Not that they ain't trying. There is a big protest organized by the Socialists in NYC here; and as Roger Kimball argues here, the cold in part tamped down protests in many blue cities. Let them eat icicles. There were "tens of thousands" of marchers in MN, demanding "We won't stop til it's 1793." Apparently devoid of any historical understanding, 1793 was the year the "Reign of Terror" began in France, where, after a few nobles were separated from their cranial cavities, guess who the Committee on Public Safety came for? Yep. The very "revolutionaries" like Robespierre who started the bloodshed. Oh, and who was left standing? This guy: 2) That didn't take long: a newly-sworn-in Somali city council member in ME resigned after an indictment for fraud. 3) Remember the 2024 campaign and I said the DemoKKKrats had five civil wars, and couldn't win any of them? Yeah, still happening. They have a civil war going on over ICE funding. PA continues to trend Republican with another big jump of R+7200. Now Rs are down only 49,000 in active voters. PA will be red before 2028. And after a court fight, OR will clean 800,000 names from the rolls. Wanna bet how many of those are DemoKKKrats? And here is Clinton pollster Mark Penn warning that the DemoKKKrat spoogemuffins are going to dominate the party until it disappears. Wait, who else has been saying the DemoKKKrats would disappear? Meanwhile, a DemoKKKrat strategist warns that Kollyfornia will see a mass exodus in the next few months due to ridiculously high prices and high taxes. It is true that independents have hit a record high, but that's not good news for DemoKKKrats, as a) a much higher percentage of indies come from Ds, and b) the GOP nevertheless has gained relative to DemoKKKrats in every state. I look at this as a two-step process: first, leave the DemoKKKrats, second, join the GOP later. 4) Kollyfornia wealthy people prepare to leave if wealth tax is implemented. This includes the two Google founders, Sergey Brin and Larry Page. Gruesome is scrambling to try to undo this. He can't. 5) No one has mentioned this, but there is a "massive" $32 billion plan by Trump to overhaul the nation's air traffic control system, long overdue. 6) The once-decent state of CO is now appearing ready to grant Tina Peters clemency. I think Trump withholding water funds has something to do with that. 7) The DoJ has subpoenaed Fed chairman Jerome Powell after his Congressional testimony where he may have lied about rennovations to the Fed Palace. Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for D.C., said there is no "indictment" but that Powell's refusal to reply to simple requests from DOJ led to the subpoena. 8) The Washington Compost wrote a piece saying Count Dooku (Jack Smith) was a threat to the first amendment. Jeff Childers, in his "Coffee & Covid," says this is a preemptory move to get ahead of prosecutions that are coming. Hope so. 9) I know every state says this about their GOP but it appears the toadsuckers in AK are just crazy. Now they are trying to protect a DEI program. MurCowSki must go, and go now. 10) And just like that, we will be going back to the moon, with a Feb. launch mission. All it takes is leadership. 11) A bank has sued former mayor of Benghazi-by-the-Lake, Lori Lightfoot, for not paying her bills for 17 months. 12) Left wing rag & DemoKKKrat mouthpiece Politico is laying off staff. 13) This author thinks that the defunding of state illegal alien operations by Trump is causing the Deep State to panic. I agree. It appears they shifted some of their USAID money over to Somali fraud, but now that's gone too. IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 14) Transpo Secretary Sean Duffy says that 50% of all trucker drivers' licenses in NC were issued to illegals. 15) Vehicular assaults on ICE officers up 3,200%. 16) A court ruled that Trump can indeed impose a $100,000 H1B visa fee. 17) Operation "Salvo" removes 54 more illegals from New Kabul (NYC). 18) DHS surging more agents into MN. Gooooood. Meanwhile Trump ended "Temporary protection" status for Somalis. Is it working? Oh yeah. DHS has been shipping out busloads of illegals on planes, back to their garden paradises. 19) More suitcase follies as in OH a suitcase headed overseas with $136 million in cash was nabbed by DHS. IN CULTURAL NEWS 20) This struggling MA college missed its enrollment goals by half! 21) Several states are changing their time-in-service salary structure for teachers to merit pay. Good intent, but usually merit pay, which must be measured by tangible test results, adds more paperwork and, like anything, can be jimmied. We'll see. Merit for what? teaching Marxist garbage? IN TRANSOID NEWS 22) When you'e lost the Washington Compost, well, the Compost urgest the Supes to save women's sports. IN ECONOMIC NEWS 23) Just the ...
