American Stories. (A series)
The White House Salute to America 250 Task Force has partnered with Hillsdale College to provide a history series that tells the remarkable story of American Independence.
It will highlight the stories of the crucial characters and events that resulted in a small rag-tag army defeating the mightiest empire in the world and establishing the greatest republic ever to exist.
This is the story of America. This is our shared heritage and our proud destiny that will continue to lead us to unimaginable achievements in the centuries to come.

Speechless at the moment… Edging closer to Insurrection Act declaration?
BREAKING: Biden Judge Blocks ICE From Arresting Protestors or Using Crowd Dispersal Tools in Minnesota
The judge ruled:
Covered Federal Agents are hereby enjoined from:
a. Retaliating against persons who are engaging in peaceful and unobstructive protest activity, including observing the activities of Operation Metro Surge.
b. Arresting or detaining persons who are engaging in peaceful and unobstructive protest activity, including observing the activities of Operation Metro Surge, in retaliation for their protected conduct and absent a showing of probable cause or reasonable suspicion that the person has committed a crime or is obstructing or interfering with the activities of Covered Federal Officers.
c. Using pepper-spray or similar nonlethal munitions and crowd dispersal tools against persons who are engaging in peaceful and unobstructive protest activity, including observing the activities of Operation Metro Surge, in retaliation for their protected conduct.
d. Stopping or detaining drivers and passengers in vehicles where there is no reasonable articulable suspicion that they are forcibly obstructing or interfering with Covered Federal Agents, or otherwise violating 18 U.S.C. § 111. The act of safely following Covered Federal Agents at an appropriate distance does not, by itself, create reasonable suspicion to justify a vehicle stop.
This could get very, very interesting. Major earthquakes incoming OR click bait? Leaning to clickbait. Likely will stop listening to this guy.

Mobile Starlink ought to be able to work around this.
Iran uses electronic warfare to disrupt Starlink — NYT
Iranian authorities deployed military-grade electronic equipment to disrupt Starlink satellite internet services during last week’s communications blackout, the New York Times reported on Thursday.
Activists and engineers were able to stay online using thousands of smuggled Starlink terminals, allowing images of security forces firing on protesters and families searching for bodies to reach the outside world, the report said.
Their actions forced Iranian authorities to respond, the report said, with the deployment of military-grade electronic weaponry designed to disrupt the GPS signals Starlink systems rely on. Activists and civil society groups said the move was rarely seen outside active battlefields, such as in Ukraine.

Iranians Burn Down Mosques
Iranian demonstrators set mosques ablaze during heated protests against the country’s Islamic government, according to local video and reports this weekend.
Protesters in Iran have set numerous fires since the riots broke out Dec. 28, with Tehran’s fire department claiming as many as 34 mosques were burned, according to multiple outlets. One video verified by NBC News showed a crowd cheering Friday night while a Tehran mosque became engulfed in flames.

The mass uprising reportedly began in response to economic woes but follows months of instances of women shedding their mandatory headwear in a statement against the country’s forced Islamic norms. Another video posted by Reuters showed a mob vandalizing the Abuzar Mosque in Tehran on Thursday, scattering furniture and laying incendiary devices.
The Iranian regime has massacred hundreds while clamping down on the disorder, the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists in Iran reports, according to The New York Post.
President Donald Trump on Jan. 2 hinted at possible military action if Iran kills protesters, leading to a social media duel with Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei over the following days that involved the ayatollah posting an image of Trump in a coffin. Trump previously bombed multiple Iranian nuclear facilities amid conflict with Israel, marking the most overt U.S. military operation against the regime in years.

Would guess this has far reaching affect, beyond energy. Reign in “State” driven lunacy in the courts.
Supreme Court Case Will Set Major Precedent For American Energy
The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments Monday in a case determining whether companies acting under federal orders can shift state lawsuits to federal court — with many concerned parties arguing that American energy is at stake.
The case addresses whether Chevron and other energy companies can move a Louisiana state lawsuit
to federal court under the federal-officer removal statute, based on actions taken on behalf of the federal government during World War II. Roughly 40 lawsuits have been filed since 2013 over oil and gas companies’ alleged role in Louisiana’s coastal erosion, and the Supreme Court’s upcoming review of Chevron U.S.A. v. Plaquemines Parish decides whether those cases can be moved from state to federal court.
“At the end of the day, this is about federal supremacy… that means that those doing the work of the federal government can’t be hauled into some state or local court to face judgment for the work they’re doing for the federal government,” Mike Fragoso a partner at Torridon Law PLLC, said in a statement.

Guessing we are expecting SC to rule of tariffs soon.
BREAKING: After listening to the oral arguments, the White House confirms the Supreme Court is likely to UPHOLD President Trump’s sweeping tariffs that helped bring $18T in investments and end wars
GREAT! Do the right thing, SCOTUS!
“We’re highly confident that they’re going to side with us, that the legal analysis is on our side.”
“We also have a backup plan that’s really solid. We can put a 10% tariff on right away to make up most of the room and then use things like the 301 authorities, the 232 authorities to backfill the things that we’ve already achieved with these great deals with the countries.”
“I expect that the Supreme Court is going to be really, really supportive of the president’s plan…I think that the Supreme Court wouldn’t want to upend all of that great success either.”

There is a reason Trump ordered five ice breakers.
China and Russia have built more icebreakers in one year than the United States has built in the history of our country. They aren’t just building them for fun. It is vital that America secures Greenland and reinforces the Monroe Doctrine for the future of national security. Luckily for us, we have the ultimate deal maker on our team in President @realDonaldTrump!

Greenland: The U.S. may be in for the real estate deal of the century
Denmark would be smart to take Trump’s deal.
After a huge round of huffing and puffing, Denmark has finally agreed to come to the negotiating table for the sale of Greenland. If a sale, reportedly for $700 billion cash, goes through, welcome to the real estate deal of the year.
Here is how the White House announced it:
BREAKING: The White House comments on the meeting between Denmark and the US:
“The two sides agreed to establish a working group for technical talks on the acquisition of Greenland.”
“President Trump has made it clear, he wants to acquire Greenland,” she adds. pic.twitter.com/Srd0eu6nbu— The Kobeissi Letter (@KobeissiLetter) January 15, 2026
Which is quite a change from all the reflexive ‘Greenland is not for sale’ talk coming from Denmark.
Meetings are being held, and the Danes, out there in the Washington, D.C. cold smoking their cigarettes afterward as news photos showed, do seem to be feeling the pressure. Their statements have gone the Fully Delcy, in that they seem to be saying the opposite of what the Trump administration is announcing, as the New York Times reports:
NEW: The Danish foreign minister, Lars Lokke Rasmussen, told The New York Times that a US takeover of Greenland was a red line. He said Vance and Rubio had agreed to a working group on solutions. But the White House said the group will discuss the US acquisition of Greenland. pic.twitter.com/8zSJ7GWlTW

But the fact that they agreed to the meetings at all suggests a potential deal in the works. If they really would never change their position, they wouldn’t talk at all.
