The recent trip by U.S. Senators to Denmark, known as a CODEL (Congressional Delegation), has sparked considerable debate. This group traveled to express support for Denmark while taking a stand against President Trump’s proposal to purchase Greenland. President Trump has viewed Greenland as strategically important, yet this notion has faced stiff resistance from European leaders, despite their lack of engagement in the island’s development. Jack Posobiec raised concerns about Senators Thom Tillis and Lisa Murkowski potentially siding with Democrats on this issue, asking whether their actions in Denmark indicate a betrayal of Trump’s agenda. This sentiment emphasizes a growing rift…

Greenland, the world’s largest island, is garnering attention in geopolitical discussions as its strategic significance becomes increasingly apparent. While the island has often remained in the shadows of global affairs, recent environmental shifts—namely, melting ice—have paved the way for new opportunities and threats. This has not gone unnoticed, especially by figures like President Donald Trump, who eyed Greenland long before many were aware of its potential. As a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark, Greenland’s importance heats up in light of global competition among powers such as the United States, Russia, and China. This trifecta is drawn by its military value and…

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche appeared on “Fox News Sunday,” where he confronted the alarming trend of attacks on ICE agents, largely stemming from the radical left.

Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) has stirred controversy with his recent comments regarding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). On national television, he openly called for defunding the agency, proudly claiming that violent rioters who disrupt ICE operations are merely “peaceful protesters.” This statement carries weight in light of a tragic local incident in Maryland, where Rachel Morin—a mother who was brutally murdered in 2023—was allegedly killed by a Salvadoran illegal alien. Van Hollen’s actions and words seem disconnected from the reality faced by families like Morin’s. Rachel’s mother, Patty Morin, has been vocal about her outrage, stating, “To have a…
The current welfare fraud situation in Minnesota has drawn attention, especially regarding the extensive sums involved, estimated at a staggering $9 billion.

One blue state is moving forward with a statewide initiative to support graduate students amid federal cuts to student loan programs. Connecticut legislators propose tapping into the state’s emergency fund to replace the federally funded GradPLUS program, which has recently been diminished under what they have dubbed the “Big Beautiful Bill.” The GradPLUS program allowed graduate students to borrow up to the full cost of their education, minus $20,500 already available through other federal unsubsidized loans. Connecticut lawmakers now plan to front $20 million through the Connecticut Higher Education Supplemental Loan Authority, a quasi-public agency. Additionally, they may draw up…
A DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in St. Paul, Minnesota, found itself embroiled in controversy after canceling reservations for ICE agents on Sunday.

Recent reports show a remarkable shift in home and gas prices across major U.S. cities, and President Donald Trump’s administration is taking credit for this positive turn. As these prices drop significantly, it appears that Trump’s immigration policies, particularly his strict stance on illegal immigration, have played a pivotal role. The statistics certainly paint a telling picture. According to the data, “in 14 of the top 20 metro areas with the largest illegal migrant populations, home list prices declined year-over-year in December.” This striking fact comes from Trump’s “Rapid Response” account on social media, which quickly highlighted the correlation between…
