When protest becomes rebellion against the rule of law

By Mark Salley | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice So many things come to mind when thinking about the dissension gripping our country. It seems nearly everything has become contentious. Should people be citizens in order to vote in elections?  Should children have sex-change surgeries?  Should people work to expose corruption and bring consequences to the fraudsters? None of these things — on their face — seem contentious.  Yet…there is rebellion brewing. The rebellion has overflowed in Minneapolis. Rather than supporting enforcement of the nation’s immigration laws (even Presidents Clinton, Obama and Biden supported deportation), there is a contingent of rebels who are willing to directly interfere in law enforcement efforts to bring lawbreakers to just...

FBI Quietly Planned for Disputed 2020 Election Long Before Capitol Riot

By John Solomon and Steven Richards | Just the News What did they know, and when did they know it? The memos from 2020 recently turned over to Congress by FBI Director Kash Patel also warned that foreign enemies like Iran and China were likely to foment domestic violence on U.S. soil. The FBI conducted a tabletop exercise in summer 2020 that imagined what sort of violence might ensue in a contested presidential election that year, devising strategies like undercover informants and mass prosecutions for minor crimes that it would later use with the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, documents obtained by Just the News show. FBI Director Kash Patel turned over the long-secret memos to Congress last week, providing fresh evidence that federal law enforcement was acutely con...

ICE Operations Hampered in Colorado and Minnesota After Activists Aid Child Rapist and Gang Member

By Alec Schemmel | Fox News FIRST ON FOX: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is detailing cases in which anti-ICE agitators actively helped criminal illegal immigrants evade federal arrest, including suspects accused of child rape, domestic abuse and gang-related violence. The cases point to a growing pattern of organized interference with federal immigration enforcement during recent ICE operations.  "These are the monsters that agitators and sanctuary politicians are protecting," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital. "We remind the public that obstructing law enforcement is a felony and a federal crime." According to DHS, members of the anti-ICE Colorado Rapid Response Network alerted Jo...

Jay Bhattacharya’s Senate testimony signals the end of a public health era

By Justin Hart | Commentary, Rational Ground Substack The man they tried to destroy is now dismantling the machine piece by piece. There he sat — our friend, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, the Stanford professor who dared to question lockdowns when questioning was heresy, who co-authored the Great Barrington Declaration when such thoughts were considered dangerous misinformation. The man who was shadow-banned, fact-checked, and ostracized by the very institution he now leads. (I wrote about his censorship in the Wall Street Journal back in 2022 — it’s worth revisiting today.) Today, February 3rd, 2026, Jay Bhattacharya testified before the Senate Health Committee as the Director of the National Institutes of Health. The irony was so thick you could cut it wi...

Military Intelligence Tactics Used By Anti-ICE Groups To Track And Monitor Federal Agents

By Asra Q. Nomani, Alba Cuebas-Fantauzzi | Fox News Fox News Digital uncovers a shadow network of anti-ICE scouts tracking law enforcement across 13 databases in a surveillance operation a retired Green Beret warns is 'dangerous'. Early last week, FBI Director Kash Patel announced that the bureau is investigating the use of the encrypted Signal messaging platform by "ICE Watch" activists to track and block federal immigration enforcement. Just days later, Jill Garvey, co-founder of a group called "States at the Core," logged into a Zoom webinar to train a new crop of "rapid responders" on a military-grade intelligence gathering method called "SALUTE." An acronym for Size, Activity, Location, Uniform, Time, Equipment, SALUTE is a mnemonic device that typical...

Teachers Accused of Pushing Anti-ICE Activism on Young Students Nationwide

By Warner Todd Huston | Breitbart Anti-American, left-wing teachers are forcing K-12 kids to join anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) protests all across the country as Democrats and foreign-funded activists continue to march in support of criminal illegal migrants. A school teacher in Boston, for instance, proudly released a video showing what appears to be first grade children parading inside the classroom with anti-ICE signs, according to the MassDailyNews. https://twitter.com/MassDailyNews/status/2018930359635689602?s=20 Teachers have a vested interest in Joe Biden-styled, open borders immigration because as more illegals enter the country, more students from families of illegals are fed into the school systems for free education. Hence more t...

House GOP Forces Vote on Citizenship Checks and Photo ID for Voters

By John Solomon | Just the News House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said floor vote will force Democrats to declare where they stand on two election integrity items widely supported by Americans. The U.S. House of Representatives will vote next week on a new bill that would require all states to check both citizenship and photo identification before allowing voters to cast ballots, combining two widely popular election integrity provisions and ramping up pressure on a Senate that has been unwilling to consider either mandate. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., and Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, confirmed in an interview Wednesday evening with Just the News that the vote will be held next week for the Save America Act, which combines the two requirements t...

Medical Group Recommends Delaying Transgender Surgeries Until Age 19

By Molly Parks | Washington Examiner The American Society of Plastic Surgeons released a statement recommending doctors refuse gender-related surgeries for transgender patients under the age of 19, a move the Trump administration is calling a win. “ASPS concludes there is insufficient evidence demonstrating a favorable risk-benefit ratio for the pathway of gender-related endocrine and surgical interventions in children and adolescents. ASPS recommends that surgeons delay gender-related breast/chest, genital, and facial surgery until a patient is at least 19 years old,” the ASPS recommendation reads. The Department of Health and Human Services and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. praised the group for its recomme...

Government Shutdown Ends but Immigration Showdown Moves to Center Stage

By George Caldwell | The Daily Signal The House of Representatives passed a Senate-modified spending package to reopen the government by a 217-214 margin Tuesday. The measure passed with 42 defections: 21 Republicans voting against it and 21 Democrats voting for it. Hardline conservatives such as Reps. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., and Keith Self, R-Texas, voted against the package. There were also Democrat defectors, such as swing district Reps. Don Davis of North Carolina and Henry Cuellar of Texas. Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut, the chamber’s top Democrat appropriator, voted for the bill. Democrat leaders, such as House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York and House Minority Whip Katherine Clark of Massachusetts, voted against the package. Beyond...

Why a voter ID filibuster could become a 24/7 GOP campaign ad

By Rachel Bovard | Commentary, The Federalist What if I told you Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., has the power and the votes — right now — to save Republicans’ congressional majorities, President Trump’s second-term agenda, and may be the republic itself, all while poleaxing Democrats on the short side of an 84-15 issue? It sounds like fantasy. But like the Lady of the Lake from Arthurian legend, 2026 is offering up to the GOP a political weapon almost as powerful as Excalibur itself: an extended Democrat talking filibuster of national voter ID legislation. Popular Idea, Toxic Opposition Requiring voters to prove their citizenship is one of the most popular ideas in the country, with 84 percent of Americans supporting and only 15 percent opposed....
