All over the country common folk are rising up against ICE proving to the jackboots that Americans will not be intimidated by masked thugs

Assaults against ICE up 1300%, vehicular attacks up 3200%, death threats up 8000%

Assaults against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers are up 1,300%, vehicular attacks are up 3,200% and death threats are up 8,000%, the Department of Homeland Security said after a U.S. citizen was shot and killed during an alleged vehicular attack in Minneapolis this week.

Federal authorities argue the shooting was justified and in self-defense. Local and state officials say otherwise.

One day after the Minneapolis shooting, two Venezuelan nationals were shot by a Border Patrol agent after they attempted to run him over with their vehicle in Portland, Ore., the Department of Homeland Security said. DHS also describes the shooting as self-defense and justified.

The two Venezuelans and alleged Tren de Aragua members “weaponized their vehicle against Border Patrol in Portland. The agent took immediate action to defend himself and others, shooting them,” DHS said.

After the shooting in Portland, the Venezuelans fled the scene, DHS said. They reportedly drove nearly five miles to an apartment complex where they called emergency medical services and were transported to separate hospitals, DHS said.

Topline

Elon Musk appeared to publicly acknowledge his child with right-wing influencer Ashley St. Clair on Monday, seemingly confirming his parentage almost a year after saying he was uncertain whether he was the father of the baby, who Musk is now seeking custody of over concerns St. Clair “might transition a one-year-old boy.”

Key Facts

St. Clair strayed away from her reputation as a right-wing influencer in an X post last weekend and was asked about her history of transphobia, responding, “I feel immense guilt for my role.”

St. Clair said she felt “even more guilt” for things she has previously said that “may have caused my son’s sister more pain,” referring to Vivian Wilson, Musk’s eldest daughter who came out as transgender in 2020.

St. Clair apologized in the post, saying she has been “trying incredibly hard privately to learn + advocate for those within the trans community that I’ve hurt.”

Musk, responding to an X user who blasted St. Clair’s apology, said he will file for full custody of the child today given St. Clair’s “statements implying she might transition a one-year-old boy.”

The Federal Reserve has quietly delivered nearly half a trillion dollars to Wall Street with few strings attached over the past few months through an obscure government financial program intended for banks struggling to make cash payments.

These cash infusions signal instability in the broader financial sector. The New York Federal Reserve, a regional branch of the larger central bank that works to maintain the country’s financial stability, kicked off the new year by dumping nearly $97 billion into the banking sector since December 31, 2025.

The move is the latest in a series of major cash transfers the New York Federal Reserve has recently delivered to Wall Street.

The infusions began with an $11 billion transfer on June 30. In October, the transfers became much more frequent, culminating in a massive $50 billion infusion on Halloween, as first reported by investigative news outlet DCReport. In total, after doling out little to no money since July 2020, the New York Federal Reserve has transferred more than $420 billion to Wall Street in the past seven months — a record amount from the program.

For comparison, that lump sum is nearly equivalent to the pot of money that Congress passed to bail out the banks during the 2008 financial crisis under the Troubled Asset Relief Program.

Amid the deluge, the central bank has encouraged Wall Street to make use of the program and lifted its $500 billion cap on such transactions, meaning there is no limit to how much banks can borrow to meet their cash liquidity needs.

All of these cash infusions, issued through an arcane and newly restructured division of the New York Federal Reserve branch, amount to some of the largest cash bailouts since the COVID-19 pandemic sent shock waves through financial markets in 2020.

Experts argue that this uptick in lending indicate that banks do not have the liquid cash on hand to make payments and dole out loans.

ICE AGENTS BTFO HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAVAHAVAVAVAVGHAGAGAGAGAHAGAGAHAHA

THE PRICATE SECRET POLICE GEATAPO FASCISITS ARE ABOUT TO GET BTFO HAAAAAARD

Personal information of 4,500 ICE and Border Patrol agents leaked online
ICE List website says it was leaked information about federal agents after shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis

Details of thousands of alleged ICE agents and Border Patrol employees have reportedly been leaked to an online watchdog group following the fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis.

The identities of around 4,500 federal agents were shared with the ICE List website by a Department of Homeland Security whistleblower, according to The Daily Beast.

The data includes information on around 2,000 agents and 150 supervisors, according to Dominick Skinner, who launched ICE List. Early analysis from the volunteer-led organization suggests that around 80 per cent of those identified are still employed by the DHS.

“It is a sign that people aren’t happy within the U.S. government, clearly. The shooting was the last straw for many people,” Skinner told the outlet.

Trump steps up to shield Americans from Bidens disastrous energy policy

He will be requiring AI companies to find their own way to power their data centers.

The Luddite left is left seething and malding.
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jan/13/trump-microsoft-data-centers-electricity
Trump says Microsoft will pay more for its datacenters’ electricity
Microsoft’s president said firm won’t accept tax breaks in towns for its datacenters as backlash against facilities grow

Donald Trump said he is partnering with tech companies to ensure the large energy-hungry datacenters vital for AI do not drive up electricity bills in the US. On Tuesday, the US president announced that Microsoft was “first up”.

“We are the ‘HOTTEST’ Country in the World, and Number One in AI. Data Centers are key to that boom, and keeping Americans FREE and SECURE but, the big Technology Companies who build them must ‘pay their own way.’” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Thank you, and congratulations to Microsoft.”

Brad Smith, Microsoft’s president, outlined the company’s plan at an event on Tuesday near the White House titled Community-First AI Infrastructure. He said the initiative aimed to minimize water use and ensure that Microsoft’s electricity usage does not add to individuals’ utility rates. In towns where Microsoft has datacenters, he said, the company would pay its property taxes and accept neither tax reductions nor electricity rate discounts.

President Donald Trump appeared to flip off a person heard calling him a “pedophile protector” during his visit to Michigan on Tuesday.

Video obtained by TMZ shows the president at the Ford plant. He appears to point at the accuser as he says, “f*** you,” then gives the person the middle finger as he walks away.

The president was touring Ford’s River Rouge complex in Dearborn, Michigan Tuesday afternoon before delivering a speech at the Detroit Economic Club.

The accusation against Trump came after the president pushed back on the release of the Epstein files for months last year, despite saying on the campaign trail he would release the files if reelected.

Trump had been a close associate of the convicted sex offender, and his pushback on releasing the files sparked widespread outrage, even from some of his MAGA supporters, and raised further questions about the president’s own relationship with the disgraced financier, who died in jail in 2019.

After months of delays, a bipartisan group of lawmakers last fall was able to buck GOP leadership and force a vote for the Justice Department to release the full Epstein files.

As the bill appeared poised to pass with overwhelming support, the president reversed course and backed it.

President Donald Trump praised cartoonist-turned-conservative influencer Scott Adams after learning of his death on Tuesday.

Adams, known for the white-collar office-humor "Dilbert" comic strip, died at age 68 following a battle with cancer. His ex-wife, Shelly Miles, tearfully announced his passing during a livestream on the "Real Coffee with Scott Adams" YouTube channel.

Trump reacted to Adams' death on Truth Social, writing, "Sadly, the Great Influencer, Scott Adams, has passed away. He was a fantastic guy, who liked and respected me when it wasn’t fashionable to do so. He bravely fought a long battle against a terrible disease. My condolences go out to his family, and all of his many friends and listeners. He will be truly missed. God bless you, Scott!"

A closely watched market valuation gauge long favored by billionaire investor Warren Buffett is flashing its strongest warning yet as 2026 begins.

The indicator, commonly known as the Buffett Indicator, compares the total market value of publicly traded U.S. stocks to the nation’s gross domestic product.

It is designed to show whether the stock market is growing in line with economic output or racing ahead of it.

When the ratio moves far above its historical norm, it suggests investors are paying increasingly high prices for each dollar of economic activity, raising the risk of sharp corrections or recessions.

According to the latest data, the Buffett Indicator has surged to roughly 224%, the highest level on record. This means the total value of U.S. equities is now more than twice the size of the U.S. economy, an extreme divergence that has historically preceded periods of significant market stress.

What makes the current signal especially concerning is that the rise has occurred despite slowing growth signals in parts of the real economy. When market capitalization accelerates faster than GDP for prolonged periods, it implies expectations embedded in stock prices may be overly optimistic.

Historically, the adjustment back toward economic reality has tended to come through falling asset prices rather than rapid economic expansion.

The warning is emerging as many economists caution that the risk of an economic downturn is rising. Some analysts, including Henrik Zeberg, have pointed to increasing vulnerability to a prolonged market correction, citing slowing indicators such as labor market trends and weakening momentum across parts of the economy.

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump’s administration has tried to shut down federal welfare spending in Democratic states over fraud cases in Minneapolis, proclaiming it the government’s duty “to protect taxpayer dollars and ensure these programs serve the families they were created to help.”

But the same administration let Republican-led Mississippi off the hook last year for one of the biggest welfare fraud scandals of all time.

Shortly before President Joe Biden left office, the Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for Children and Families levied a $100 million penalty against Mississippi for allowing fraudsters to embezzle funds from the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program. The penalty reflected the estimated size of the fraud.

But the Trump administration reversed the decision in April after the Mississippi Department of Human Services said it uncovered records that could validate some of its allegedly improper spending, rescinding the penalty, and telling the state it would “issue a new penalty letter at the appropriate time.” Eight months later, no new letter has been sent.

In a statement on Monday, a spokesperson for HHS told HuffPost the ACF is “evaluating options to follow up with Mississippi.”

The deliberative back-and-forth between Mississippi and the federal government stands in stark contrast to the preemptive funding cutoff the Trump administration announced last week for several Democratic-led states. It calls into question whether the administration’s professed desire to stamp out fraud has more to do with politics than good governance.

The mayor of Greenland’s capital city has admitted that she is now dreading the day that American warships appear on the horizon. Avaaraq Olsen said it is clear the fear felt among the 20,000 strong community of Nuuk is growing by the day.

The civic leader has issued a personal message to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who is seeking to coordinate a NATO response to the growing crisis over Greenland by sending troops for a major security force to persuade Donald Trump that his US intervention is not necessary.

The mayor said: “Denmark or others make plans and announcements about Greenland - but they talk about us without us. So if Keir Starmer wants to plan anything like that, or even talk about it, he should definitely include the inhabitants of Greenland.”

Speaking in her office in Nuuk’s Civic Hall, Olsen points to the fjord that is visible from the window and says: “Yesterday I needed to take a walk, on the path we have on our coast line.

“There’s always this calming feeling when you listen to the ocean. I was standing myself and it was getting dark, and then a boat came and it was dark and it had no lights on.

“And suddenly I was wondering, will they (the US) come without the light? And even though I’ve been the one who’s telling everyone to keep calm I also understand that people are afraid.

“I really understand why people are looking towards the sky and the ocean for what might come.”

https://www.cnbc.com/2026/01/12/trump-credit-card-limit-banks-jpmorgan-citi.html

Banks and financial services stocks slid Monday after U.S. President Donald Trump called for a 10%, one-year cap on credit card interest rates.

Capital One shares dropped 7% in early trading and Synchrony Financial tumbled 8%. Credit cards account for a large share of both banks’ business models. Other banks that are more diversified saw smaller losses. Citigroup lost almost 4%, JPMorgan Chase shed 2% and Bank of America fell 1%. Visa and Mastercard, credit card processors that don’t put any of their capital at risk, were down 2% each.

Other financial services names were caught in the downdraft. American Express
slumped 5%, while Wells Fargo and Morgan Stanley declined about 1%.

The proposed cap would come into force on Jan. 20, according to a post on Truth Social on Friday, though Trump didn’t provide details on how it would work.

“Effective January 20, 2026, I, as President of the United States, am calling for a one year cap on Credit Card Interest Rates of 10%,” Trump wrote, echoing a pledge he made in the 2024 presidential campaign.

“Please be informed that we will no longer let the American Public be ‘ripped off’ by Credit Card Companies,” he added.

Stock futures fall after Powell confirms criminal probe into Fed

Stocks fell in overnight trading Sunday after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell confirmed the Trump administration had opened a criminal investigation into the central bank.

Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were down 200 points shortly after 8:30 p.m. EST, falling 0.4 percent. S&P 500 futures were down 0.5 percent and Nasdaq futures were down 0.7 percent.


The slide came after Powell announced in a stunning statement that he and the Fed were under investigation by the Department of Justice (DOJ), which had issued subpoenas to bank officials Friday night and had threatened a criminal indictment.

Donald Trump has urged Cuba to "make a deal" or face consequences, warning that the flow of Venezuelan oil and money would now stop.

The US president has been turning his attention to Cuba since US forces seized Venezuela's leader Nicolás Maduro in a 3 January raid on its capital, Caracas.

Venezuela, a long-standing ally of Cuba, is believed to send around 35,000 barrels of oil a day to the island.

Cuba's foreign minister responded by saying his nation retained the right to import fuel "without interference", while its president said: "No one dictates what we do."

The Trump administration's tactic of confiscating sanctioned Venezuelan oil tankers has already begun to worsen a fuel and electricity crisis in Cuba.

On Friday, it seized a fifth oil tanker it said was carrying sanctioned oil from Venezuela.
