By Becky Noble Conservatives love to giggle and point at Democratic politicians who suffer from acute Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). But what's even more fun is former Democratic politicians who have long blasted past their fifteen minutes of fame, and will do just about anything to stay relevant, and the more immature and silly the attempt is, the more they engage in it.  Algore is a useless grifter & always has been. pic.twitter.com/17KTXTibd6 — Patriot Erin (@PatriotErin) January 22, 2026 The latest example is former Vice President Al Gore. On Tuesday, "AlGore," as Rush used to call him,  was attending a dinner at  the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. One of the speakers at the dinner was Trump Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. Lutnick apparently rattled a few Euroweenie  elitists with his comments,  saying that "the world should focus on coal as an energy source rather than renewables," and allegedly made what some attendees consider...

By Streiff One of the more charming features of progressive and totalitarian government projects is the conceit by those in charge that all right-thinking people agree with their desired outcome. The loathsome Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion industry developed because no one pushing the programs could imagine anyone objecting to giving their job to a completely undeserving stranger who happened to have different melanin content, cultural origins, IQ, or sexual proclivities. Why shouldn’t your kids be denied opportunities for the greater good of a fair, equitable, and inclusive society? When this blindered and bubbled worldview comes into contact with reality in a relatively free society, such as currently exists in the United States, there is pushback, as you have the freedom to call out egregious stupidity for what it is. In the United Kingdom, the situation is different. There an oppressive, far-left government has engaged in Orwellian levels of speech control. For instance, tak...

Unbeknownst to most, Mexico’s leaders are using mass migration and a hidden network of government officials inside the US to quietly carry out the reconquest of lost territory. By BLAZETV STAFF The intentional implosion of the United States via mass immigration — often called the “Great Replacement” theory — has been “debunked” as a baseless, racist conspiracy theory by left-wing organizations like the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center. But what  Glenn Beck  just heard from bestselling author Peter Schweizer is proof that it’s not theory. It’s happening right now — and in places we wouldn’t expect. Schweizer’s new book, “ The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon ,” is a deep dive into the weaponization of mass migration as a political tool to influence U.S. elections, undermine national security, and reshape demographics and power structures. While the book presents documented evidence exposing multiple...

By Breccan F. Thies Virginia Democrats have been in total control of the state for less than a week and one of their primary focuses has been to protect criminals generally and illegal immigrants specifically, even illegals who commit crimes in addition to being in the country unlawfully. One of the first things Gov. Abigail Spanberger, D-Va., did when she took office in Richmond was to repeal an executive order from her predecessor, Republican Glenn Youngkin. The order had directed state and local law enforcement to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other immigration enforcement agencies. “State and local law enforcement should not be required to divert their limited resources to enforce federal civil immigration laws,” Spanberger  said  about signing  Executive Order 10 . While Spanberger characterized the decision as being driven by “limited resources,” her actions — and those of other Democrats — indicate that they want Virginia to be ove...

By Nick Arama The anti-ICE crew is completely out of control at this point, trying to stop the enforcement of the law.  We've seen them do a lot of vile and disgusting things, from disrupting a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota, to launching racist invective at a black ICE agent because they thought they were better than him.  It's crazy that ICE agents and other federal agents helping to enforce immigration laws have to put up with this mania and obstruction.  But it looks like folks who are anti-anti-ICE may be getting creative, as revealed in a post from Blue Lives Matter.  This may be one of the greatest posts ever about fighting back against the leftist insanity. We're not saying that Blue Lives Matter was behind feeding false information to far-left, anti-ICE protestors. We're not saying we had teams comprised of HUNDREDS of off-duty cops and veterans volunteer to run decoy operations so far-left activists THOUGHT they were conducting… pic.twitter.com/J...

By Joseph A. Wulfsohn Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk took surprise inspiration from comments made by liberal MS NOW host Rachel Maddow, drawing a parallel between the ongoing anti-ICE protests and the revival that has taken place following her husband's assassination. Speaking at the kickoff to TPUSA Faith's inaugural Make Heaven Crowded tour in Los Angeles on Wednesday, Kirk cited an exchange Maddow had with late-night host Jimmy Kimmel earlier this month she said was shared in a group chat with "The Charlie Kirk Show" staff.  "I can't even believe I'm saying their names in a church," Kirk jokingly told the crowd at LA's Harvest Church. In the exchange, Kimmel asked Maddow whether she believed anything would come from the protests that have erupted against the Trump administration, to which Maddow firmly responded, "Yes, I do." "In political science terms, there's what's called the ‘3.5% Rule,’ which i...

By Camille Phillips, Dan Katz CORPUS CHRISTI — A Nueces County jury on Wednesday acquitted former Uvalde CISD police officer Adrian Gonzales of all charges in the first criminal trial tied to the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting that killed 19 children and two teachers. As the verdict was read, several family members of the victims sat in silence, visibly emotional, some covering their faces as they wiped away tears. “It’s been an emotional roller coaster since day one. We prepared for the worst,” said Javier Cazares, who lost his 9-year-old daughter, Jackie, in the shooting. “We had a little hope, but it wasn’t enough.” Jesse Rizo, the uncle of Jackie Cazares, said he respected the jury’s decision but believes it sends a troubling message to law enforcement in future situations. “If you’re an officer, you can stand by, stand down, and do nothing while people are executed, killed, slaughtered, massacred,” Rizo said. “Is that the message you sent today?” The verd...

By Steven Nelson, Emily Goodin and Caitlin Doornbos President Trump abruptly announced a “framework of a  future deal with respect to Greenland ” Wednesday — calling off tariffs on European allies and declining to say if he still is demanding US ownership of the world’s largest island. “We have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region,”  Trump wrote on Truth Social  after meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Davos, Switzerland. “This solution, if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America, and all NATO Nations. Based upon this understanding, I will not be  imposing the Tariffs that were scheduled  to go into effect on February 1st.” The Nasdaq, S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average indices all reacted positively to the news with modest gains as of mid-afternoon. Trump had spent months developing a crescendo of pressur...

By Emma Bussey President Donald Trump dramatically reversed course Tuesday on a U.K. plan to transfer sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius while warning it could jeopardize U.S. access to the Diego Garcia military base. Trump’s reversal highlights what a defense expert called a "new Trump Doctrine" before linking the president's opposition to the Chagos deal with his Greenland push and citing fears Mauritius could later back out. Writing on his Truth Social platform Tuesday, Trump called the U.K.’s Chagos decision "an act of great stupidity." "Shockingly, our ‘brilliant’ NATO Ally, the United Kingdom, is currently planning to give away the Island of Diego Garcia, the site of a vital U.S. Military Base, to Mauritius, and to do so FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER," Trump wrote. "There is no doubt that China and Russia have noticed this act of total weakness." "Trump has done a 180, partly because of the U.K.’s support ...

By Rusty Weiss Vice President JD Vance is heading to Minneapolis on Thursday, set to deliver a powerful message of "unwavering support" for ICE agents amid escalating tensions provoked by leftists trying to impede law enforcement from detaining criminals. Vance, according to a release from the Office of the Vice President, plans to hold a roundtable with local leaders, meet directly with ICE personnel, and deliver remarks on restoring law and order in the City of Lakes. Axios  reports that , perhaps to the chagrin of those local leaders—some of whom, like Gov. Tim Walz (D) and Mayor Jacob Frey (D), themselves face subpoenas for allegedly interfering with federal operations—Vance is "not planning any peace offerings to Twin Cities officials and protesters opposed to the Trump administration's aggressive immigration enforcement tactics." In fact, they note that he will emphasize the administration's "unwavering support" for ICE. "JD took Min...
