James Woods comment on Vogue's article on Newsom

James Woods Slams Vogue’s ‘Embarrassingly Handsome’ Newsom Profile Amid California’s Decline

There’s an old saying about putting lipstick on a pig. Apparently, Vogue magazine missed that memo … or perhaps they just decided the pig in question was too photogenic to resist.

The fashion bible recently decided to profile outgoing California Governor Gavin Newsom as he prepares to deliver his final State of the State address. One might expect a serious publication to grill a governor whose state has hemorrhaged residents, businesses, and credibility over the past seven years.

One might expect pointed questions about rampant fraud, ballooning deficits, or the thousands of Palisades fire victims still waiting for answers more than a year later. But one would be sorely disappointed — though honestly, are any of us surprised anymore?

The author herself admitted she ran out of time to discuss the LA wildfires, homelessness, Hollywood’s collapse, or the looming AI disruption. But don’t worry; she found time for what really matters.
From Vogue:

Let’s get this out of the way: He is embarrassingly handsome, his hair seasoned with silver, at ease with his own eminence as he delivers his final State of the State address.

Newsom: lithe, ardent, energetic, a glimmer of optimism in his eye; Kennedy-esque.
Conservative actor James Woods had a five-word response that cut straight through the perfume-soaked prose: “Yeah, so was Ted Bundy.”

Feds leaving Minneapolis

700 Federal agents leaving Minneapolis

White House border czar Tom Homan announced Wednesday that the federal government is drawing down hundreds of law enforcement personnel deployed to Minnesota, citing what he described as “unprecedented cooperation” from state and local authorities.

Speaking at a morning press conference in Minneapolis, Homan said approximately 700 federal agents would be leaving the Twin Cities immediately, with the goal of eventually completing a full withdrawal of federal personnel from the area.

Homan said the drawdown follows recent meetings with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, during which he urged state and local officials to allow county jails to notify federal authorities before releasing illegal immigrants from custody.

Homan emphasized that federal officials are not asking local governments to hold detainees longer than legally permitted or to carry out immigration enforcement themselves.

Jerry Nadler calling for people to shoot ICE agents

ANOTHER Democrat calls shooting ICE agents 'justified' — and Vance doesn't hold back

Nadler's justification of shooting federal agents greatly resembles Arizona AG Mayes' controversial comments last month.

Democrats have worked overtime to demonize and delegitimize the men and women of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement — those whom Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz branded as "Trump's modern-day Gestapo," Sen. Tina Smith (Minn.) called a "clear and present threat," Rep. Eric Swalwell (Calif.) dubbed "terrorizing bandits," and Democrat anchor-baby Rep. Delia Ramirez (Ill.) called a "terror force."

In addition to Rep. Nancy Pelosi (Calif.), Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, and other Democrats threatening lawfare against ICE officers, some radical officials have turned up the heat by suggesting that it may be reasonable to shoot masked federal immigration agents.

Vice President JD Vance was among the many critics who blasted Nadler over his incendiary remarks, noting, "Jerry Nadler is one of the highest ranking Democrats in the House of Representatives and he is openly calling for people to shoot federal law enforcement."

"This is despicable behavior from an elected official and I'm sure the leftwing media will cover it extensively," added Vance.

Russia lands a military plane in Cuba

Russian Military Plane Lands In Cuba As Trump Declares National Emergency

A sanctioned Russian military cargo plane landed Sunday night at a Cuban military airfield outside Havana, raising fresh concerns in Washington as President Donald Trump sharply escalates pressure on the communist government in Cuba.

The aircraft — an Ilyushin Il-76 heavy transport jet operated by Russian state-linked airline Aviacon Zitotrans — touched down at San Antonio de los BaƱos Airfield, a Cuban military installation roughly 30 miles south of the capital, according to public flight-tracking data. The Il-76 is commonly used to move military equipment and personnel and has been scrutinized by U.S. officials in past operations.

Flight records show the plane traveled through St. Petersburg and Sochi in Russia, Mauritania, and the Dominican Republic before arriving in Cuba. Each stop would have required authorization from host governments, highlighting which countries continue to permit Russian military-linked aircraft to operate despite Western sanctions.

The United States provides significant foreign aid to the Dominican Republic, totaling approximately $92 million to $104 million annually in recent fiscal years. Who can you trust?

A lot of us can remember the Cuban missile crisis when Kennedy was president...pretty scary time. The October 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis was a 13-day, direct confrontation between the U.S. and Soviet Union, marking the closest the Cold War came to nuclear war. Following the failed Bay of Pigs invasion and U.S. missile deployment in Turkey, the USSR installed nuclear weapons in Cuba. President Kennedy enacted a naval "quarantine," leading to a tense standoff.

So, Putin is up to the Soviet Union's old tricks.

Evening Sky 2-4-26

The partial government shutdown that dragged on for four whole days has ended.

The House passed a $1.2 trillion spending package to fund the government through the end of the fiscal year on September 30th, and President Trump signed it.

Unfortunately, because of rabid opposition by Democrats to ICE arresting and deporting murderers, rapists, drug dealers and child predators, funding for the DHS was separated out and will run only under February 13th.

Mike Huckabee says that means that like Bill Murray in “Groundhog Day,” Americans will have to suffer through nine more days of repetitive demonization of law enforcement before (we hope) Republicans stick together, ignore the deranged Dems, and pass longterm funding for ICE and the Border Patrol.

Trump Signs Bill Ending Partial Government Shutdown

Spending bill passes but DHS still needs negotiation

Trump, who presided over a record 43-day government shutdown last summer, had been pressuring Republicans to adopt the spending bill and end the closure which began on Saturday.

Twenty-one Democrats joined Republicans in voting for the funding package and an equal number of Republicans opposed it rather than meet Democrat demands to reform the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Democrats want ICE to remove their masks.

"This bill is a great victory for the American people," he said at the White House signing ceremony.

"Instead of a bloated and wasteful omnibus monstrosity full of special interest handouts, we've succeeded in passing a fiscally responsible package that actually cuts wasteful federal spending while supporting critical programs for the safety, security and prosperity of the American people," he added.

"Death to America and Israel" shouts Iranian officials

Iran Lawmakers Chant ‘Death to America’ Live

What happened on the floor

During a session aired by state media, several Iranian lawmakers put on military-style uniforms and loudly chanted “Death to America” and “Death to Israel.” It was not subtle. Cameras caught the moment live, and the message was unmistakable: a show of defiance that was meant for both domestic and international audiences.

Why the timing matters
The protest came as U.S. officials say they are engaged in talks or back-channel contacts with Iran. That makes the spectacle awkward for Tehran. On one hand, hardliners burnish their anti-West credentials.

On the other hand, those same leaders may be negotiating to ease pressure. The result is political theater that looks tough but could be aimed at shoring up internal support.

Who was being signaled
Wearing military-style gear suggested the lawmakers wanted to show allegiance to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps or other security forces.

That is a clue. The chant was not aimed at a random crowd. It was a message to rival factions inside Iran, the IRGC, and to foreign governments watching for signs of Iran’s next move.

New York City - Living among the garbage

Zohran Mamdani blasted for failure to clean up trash while keeping mansion clear

New York City is drowning in garbage after Winter Storm Fern, but the sidewalks near Mayor Mamdani’s Gracie Mansion residence on East 88th Street are spotless, raising eyebrows across the Upper East Side.

A week after the storm hit, residents in many neighborhoods are battling 6- to 8-foot-high piles of trash, unplowed streets, and rat-infested debris.

The mayor’s inauguration rhetoric about replacing individualism with collective warmth now rings hollow to many.

A resident’s jab on X about the “warm smell of uncollectedi-vism” captures the bitter irony of trash piles growing under this administration’s watch.

Some see this as a classic case of progressive ideals clashing with practical governance. When resources are funneled to high-profile areas while everyday New Yorkers suffer, it’s hard to buy into promises of shared burden.

Hardening our critical infrastructure - Making America Safer

Pentagon Launches Effort To Harden Critical Infrastructure Against Drone Attacks

New Pentagon guidance for defending U.S. critical infrastructure against drone attacks calls for hardened structures and increased use of netting, cables, and other kinds of passive physical defenses — a notable shift in policy.

The new guidance from JIATF-401 talks about “critical infrastructure” mostly in terms of civilian sites ranging from power plants to sports venues. However, it makes clear that the guidance is equally applicable to helping protect military facilities from uncrewed aerial systems.

“When we talk about Homeland defense, we’re not just talking about military bases, power grids and ports; we’re talking about places where Americans gather. With major international events like the World Cup on the horizon, the security of our stadiums, for example, is a national priority,” Army Brig. Gen. Matt Ross, Director of JIATF-401, said.

“This new guidance provides a common playbook for our forces to work closely with federal and local partners to ensure a safe and secure environment against the growing challenge of nefarious drones.”

Partial Shutdown Ends

House Votes to End Partial Shutdown, Sending Bill to Trump’s Desk

The bill’s passage will put an end to a partial shutdown that lasted 4 days. Congressional leaders now have less than 2 weeks to negotiate funding for DHS.

The House of Representatives on Feb. 3 passed a funding package for several federal agencies, sending it to President Donald Trump’s desk to end a partial government shutdown.

The measure was passed in a 217-214 vote. Twenty-one Republicans voted against the Senate-passed package, while 21 Democrats voted for it.

The legislation will fully fund five sectors of the federal government through the end of the fiscal year while extending funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) until Feb. 13. Despite its advancement, the bill faced significant Democratic opposition, including from party leadership.

Biden-Appointed Judge Rejects Bid to Halt Trump Immigration Operation in Minnesota

There was a time, not so long ago, when everyone in America understood a simple concept: separation of powers. The people elect their leaders, Congress makes the laws, and the president enforces them. It wasn’t always pretty, but it worked.

But today’s Left has cooked up a toxic new recipe for ‘governing’: If you can’t win an election, sue. It’s a cheap workaround for actual democracy, weaponizing the gavel to achieve what they can’t at the ballot box.

We saw this cynical playbook run again in Minnesota, where progressive officials raced to court to block federal immigration enforcement. They pleaded their case and waited for a sympathetic judge to deliver the political victory they craved. Then, something incredible happened.

In a moment of brilliant clarity, a liberal judge stared down a politically motivated lawsuit from a radical Attorney General and chose to uphold the law.

Minnesota’s AG, Keith Ellison, tried to shut down “Operation Metro Surge,” a Trump administration initiative deploying federal agents to enforce existing immigration laws. These weren’t random patrols; they were targeting individuals already issued final orders for removal.

Blue States will have to ask for help from DHS for protesters

Ask me nicely

Jerry McConway from Realtalk digest says, Trump is now pulling all federal agents out of Democrat cities in terms of providing assistance with riots and protests, requiring city and state leaders to ask for help. He posted to Truth Social, “I have instructed Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, that under no circumstances are we going to participate in various poorly run Democrat Cities with regard to their Protests and/or Riots unless, and until, they ask us for help.”

Trump continued, “We will, however, guard, and very powerfully so, any and all Federal Buildings that are being attacked by these highly paid Lunatics, Agitators, and Insurrectionists. Please be aware that I have instructed ICE and/or Border Patrol to be very forceful in this protection of Federal Government Property.”

I have to admit, I am not against this tactic by Trump. And I would also note that people seem to be forgetting one question… how did we get here? Were it not for Joe Biden opening up the borders and blue states embracing sanctuary status, ICE would not have to come to these cities in the first place.

And let’s also remember that the American people voted for this immigration crackdown. Trump never hid his intentions on this front, so spare me the faux outrage now that he is delivering on his promise.

Supreme Court of Panama's Judiciary rules on Canal

Chinese Contract At Panama Canal Ruled Unconstitutional In Win For Trump's 'Donroe Doctrine'

Another massive defeat for China's interests in the Western Hemisphere, and another 'win' for Trump's "Donroe Doctrine"...

The Supreme Court of Panama has just issued a final decision to void the contract renewal for Hong Kong's CK Hutchison's subsidiary to operate two Panama Canal ports, in a much anticipated landmark case driven by claims of unconstitutionality and financial irregularities.

The top court has found irregularities in the 25-year extension of the concession granted in 2021 and found CK Hutchison's management shortchanged Panama by roughly $1.3 billion.

Republic of Panama, Judicial Branch--
STATEMENT

The Full Bench of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Republic of Panama hereby informs the general public that during its ordinary session held today, January 29, 2026, after extensive deliberation and discussion of Filing No. 119313-2025 and Filing No. 17547-2025 — both consisting of constitutional challenges against Law No. 5 of January 16, 1997, its addenda, and the extension agreement — and in fulfillment of its duty as guardian of the Political Constitution, it decided to declare them UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

Partial Shutdown might end and Government reopened

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) says votes may be delayed until Tuesday

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) said Sunday that he is “confident” he will have enough support from Republicans in the House conference to end the partial government shutdown by Tuesday.

In an interview with NBC News’s “Meet the Press,” Johnson said the House will vote to reopen the government “at least by Tuesday.”

“We have a logistical challenge of getting everyone in town, and because of the conversation I had with Hakeem Jeffries, I know that we’ve got to pass a rule and probably do this mostly on our own,” Johnson said, referring to the minority leader as he looked to blame Democrats for the second shutdown of President Donald Trump’s second administration, which began early Saturday.

Democrats have a problem with Trump administration’s immigration policies, including the Department of Homeland Security. The department houses U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
