Anti-ICE chaos erupts at blue state county board meeting after panel endorses detention center
This affects the entire country.

A suburban Maryland board meeting was taken off the air after whistling and protests erupted moments after officials approved a resolution endorsing cooperation with DHS, including the purchase of a warehouse in Williamsport that sparked Democratic outrage.
A few miles south of the meeting, DHS had completed the purchase of the $102 million property in Williamsport, just across the Potomac River from Falling Waters, West Virginia and about 75 miles from Washington, D.C.
The property soon became the site of protests, including a video posted by Total Wine billionaire David Trone — who is running for his former U.S. House seat — in which he stood by a snowbank behind the center and declared ICE was "executing people" and did not belong in Maryland.
PHILLY DA’S ‘HUNT YOU DOWN’ WARNING TO ICE DRAWS CALLS FOR DOJ CRIMINAL PROBE
Washington County Board President John Barr slammed his gavel Tuesday as outrage erupted over the resolution, declaring the "safety and security of our community is of utmost importance" and that "DHS [and] ICE play a crucial role in safeguarding our nation’s borders and is responsible for enforcing immigration laws, protecting the country from potential threats, and maintaining the rule of law for public safety."
Barr’s voice vote appeared to reflect most if not all board members saying "aye" but elicited "nay!" and "no" from the audience — where people began loudly whistling, clapping and pointing at Barr.
Barr calmly announced, "clear the room," and a broadcast producer could be heard saying, "Off air! Off air" before the TV feed was cut.
DHS FIRES BACK AFTER DEM BILLIONAIRE DAVID TRONE CLAIMS ICE IS 'EXECUTING PEOPLE'
Outside the building on Washington Street, a throng of anti-ICE protesters similarly whistled and waved signs reading "no concentration camps" and "No ICE Jail."
"These ICE facilities; they’re inhumane; I don’t want them here," protester Richard Hartman told Baltimore’s NBC affiliate.
Two counter-protesters waved signs saying "Trump is Your President" and "We Love ICE."
Maryland federal lawmakers urged the county not to pass the resolution. Rep. April McClain-Delaney — whom Trone is facing in the primary — called the plan "sweeping and dangerous" and forged in "darkness."
"[It] is yet another example of the Trump administration acting without transparency, accountability, or regard for human life," she said.

Jeffries and Schumer Denounce Trump’s ‘Racist’ Video—but Who Are They to Complain?
Same show, different day.

On President Donald Trump’s social media platform, someone in the administration—the White House offered different versions of how this happened—posted a 62-second cartoon video set to the song “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.”

This was posted on a Thursday night and, following cries of “racism,” was removed by noon the following day. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt called the reaction “fake outrage.” Trump said: “I guess during the end of it, there was some kind of picture people don’t like. I wouldn’t like it either, but I didn’t see it. I just, I looked at the first part, and it was really about voter fraud.”

Asked by a reporter if he condemns the racist part of the video, Trump said, “Of course I do.”

The video shows Trump’s head attached to a lion confidently strolling through the jungle. Other animals dance as the Trump lion saunters through. On the heads of the other animals are well-known Democrats, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, former President Joe Biden, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, former Vice President Kamala Harris, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and others.

Near the end, for about one second, the video showed the heads of former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama on the heads of monkeys. A screenshot of the Barack Obama and Michelle Obama heads on apes went viral. That Biden’s face was on that of a banana-eating orangutan did not seem to disturb anyone.

The outrage was predictable. “Racist” Donald Trump strikes again! Those crying out included Democrats Jeffries and Schumer.

Jeffries said, “He definitively needs to apologize. It was a disgusting video … even a handful of Republicans … finally showed some backbone in pushing back against the president’s malignant, bottom-feeder-like behavior.”

But Jeffries has his own record of “malignant, bottom-feeder-like behavior.” As a college student, Jeffries praised two of the country’s most prominent antisemites—his uncle and City College of New York professor Leonard Jeffries, who compared Jews to “dogs” and “skunks” and claimed “rich Jews financed the slave trade, and Nation of Islam’s Louis Farrakhan, who has a decades-long record of antisemitism.

Hakeem Jeffries has long insisted he only “vaguely remembers” defending them. But in 2023, CNN reported the Binghamton University Black Student Union, of which Jeffries was a leader, invited Uncle Leonard to speak. When Jewish students protested, Jeffries “led a press conference” to defend his uncle, despite later saying that “he did not recall any press coverage” of the controversy.

CNN said Jeffries’ 1992 op-ed undermines claims he wasn’t aware of his uncle’s antisemitic controversy. Jeffries wrote that his uncle challenges the “existing white supremacist educational system and long-standing distortion of history. His reward has been a media lynching complete with character assassinations and inflammatory, erroneous accusations.”

In a research paper called “Dr. Jeffries and the Anti-Semitic Branch of the Afrocentrism Movement,” Kenneth Stern with the American Jewish Committee wrote, ” … Leonard Jeffries was already …

Irish dancing groups torched after trans dancer allowed to qualify for multiple female world championships
Temporary powers never stay temporary.

A women's public policy group is calling on governing bodies in the Irish dancing world to amend their participation policies after a male dancer qualified for the world championships for a third year in a row after previously competing as a male. 
"I just happened to be at the competition where this boy won in the girls' category for the very first time back in 2023," Maggie McKneely, Director of Government Relations at Concerned Women for America, told Fox News Digital. "He has been Irish-dancing for a long time and had gone to the World Championships as a boy years before, but then in 2023, he suddenly started identifying as a girl and dancing in the girl's category."
McKneely said that in 2023, while competing in the girl's division, the male competitor won a regional title for the first time, and he has since gone on to win two more times, including this past December in Florida.
Concerned Women for America (CWA) sent a letter to two major governing bodies for Irish dancing, An Coimisiún Le Rincí Gaelacha and the Irish Dance Teachers’ Association of North America, calling on them to remedy their participation policies allowing dancers to compete based on gender identity. The letter pointed to other major sports governing bodies, such as the International Olympic Committee and World Athletics, the governing body for track and field sports, which CWA said have announced or adopted plans to institute strictly sex-based eligibility requirements.  
PRIVACY CONCERNS, DISCRIMINATION, DOCTOR PUSHBACK: THE COMPLIANCE TRAPS LOOMING BEHIND SEX-SEPARATED SPORTS
Speaking to Fox News Digital, McKneely lamented what she described as a "ripple-effect" caused by the male dancer being allowed to continue competing in the girls' division.
"Not only did a boy win the girl's title for his age category, placing the girl who got in second who should have been in first, but that also means that the girl who got in 11th did not qualify for Worlds because the top 10 dancers qualify for worlds. It means the girl who got 26th did not qualify for nationals because the top 25 qualify for nationals," she said. "You have a boy on top of the podium and all these girls who have dreamed and have set goals for different placements in their age category who were not able to make them because of this one boy disrupting the entire category."
CWA Pressident and Founder Penny Nance also pointed to the chilling effect caused by male competition, arguing that the male's ability to compete "undermines young women" and makes them less likely to compete.

Trump ousts judge-installed prosecutor; constitutional expert says Article II leaves no doubt
Law enforcement shouldn't be political.

President Donald Trump has the constitutional authority to fire court-appointed U.S. attorneys, even if judges legally appointed them, according to former Justice Department official John Yoo, who said the Constitution gives the president broad removal power over executive branch officers.
"Otherwise you could have U.S. attorneys who are enforcing federal law differently than the president would, and it's the president who all of us in the country elect, and to whom the president is accountable," Yoo told Fox News Digital in an interview.
Trump exercised that power this week by terminating Donald Kinsella just hours after federal judges in the Northern District of New York voted to install him to fill the vacancy left by Trump appointee John Sarcone, whose temporary term had expired. 
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche revealed the move in a fiery social media post, declaring that judges "don’t pick" U.S. attorneys and thrusting the fight deeper into a constitutional dispute over who ultimately controls them.
FEDERAL JUDGE DISQUALIFIES US ATTORNEY, TOSSES SUBPOENAS TARGETING NY AG LETITIA JAMES
At the center of the most recent dispute is a law that allows federal courts to appoint temporary U.S. attorneys when a presidential nominee has not been confirmed by the Senate and an acting official’s term has expired. Blanche suggested the court’s move to fill a U.S. attorney vacancy was unconstitutional, a comment that comes as the DOJ appeals Judge Lorna Schofield’s decision last month to disqualify Sarcone over his expired tenure.
But Yoo, a law professor at Univrsity of California, Berkeley, said both that the judges’ actions were legal due to a "quirk" in the law and that the president still has authority to fire Kinsella.
"No matter how an executive officer is appointed … none of these positions under the Constitution have any specific way to remove the officers, and so the president can remove all officers in the executive branch, particularly all officers in the Justice Department," Yoo said.
Yoo said the Constitution lays out detailed processes for appointing U.S. attorneys but is "silent" on how they are removed.
"It has elaborate procedures … about how you appoint them to office. It doesn't actually discuss at all how you remove them from office," Yoo said, referencing the complex federal vacancy laws that govern how interim and acting U.S. attorneys are appointed.
He noted that existing law and Supreme Court precedent have long given the president the ultimate power to fire inferior officers in the executive branch, meaning an official like the …

Irish dancing groups in the hot seat after trans dancer qualifies for multiple female world championships

Texas Dem Senate primary fractures over race rhetoric as ‘mediocre’ jab, ‘oppressor’ remarks ignite backlash
What's the endgame here?

Heated racial rhetoric in Texas is flaring this primary season, as Democratic contenders lean into identity-focused messaging that Republicans say is divisive and a clinic in "wokeness at its worst."
Texas Democrats are heading into primary season with an intraparty fight that is increasingly spilling into race and identity. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, who is running for the Senate, has suggested racism would be to blame if she loses, while former Rep. Colin Allred accused Crockett rival and Austin state Rep. James Talarico of calling him "a mediocre Black man" in a political spat affecting races in the Senate and House.
"These disgusting comments are wokeness at its worst and the silence is deafening from Democrats," RNC spokesman Zach Kraft said of the recent rhetoric out of Texas in recent months.
SPEAKER JOHNSON LAUGHS OFF JASMINE CROCKETT SENATE BID: ‘ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED’ SHE IS RUNNING
Crockett, who is running for the Senate to replace Republican Sen. John Cornyn, offered a fiery response.
"You think I didn't know I was a black woman when I woke up and decided that I was going to run for the U.S. Senate? You think I didn't factor in and make sure we had enough room to account for that?"
Racially focused flare-ups have broken out in recent weeks as Democrats eye high-profile races and try to energize blue voters in the red state.
JASMINE CROCKETT CLAIMS ALLIES HAVE EXPRESSED CONCERN FOR HER SAFETY WHILE RUNNING FOR SENATE
"Look no further than the Senate primary to see how the woke mind virus has spread like wildfire among the ranks of Texas Democrats. James Talarico spent last week apologizing for his ‘white privilege,’ and Jasmine Crockett is taking a page out of Kamala Harris' playbook by preemptively blaming racism and sexism for why she will lose," Kraft told Fox News Digital.
Just this month, Texas Democratic state Rep. Gene Wu, the minority leader of the Texas House, drew backlash over a resurfaced clip from a 2024 interview in which he described white Americans as "oppressors" of "non-whites."
"That there is a sense of, ‘America really just belongs to White people,’ that this was that a lot of people believe that God gave America to White people to rule, and that any time that immigrants, minorities make progress in this country, that that is seen as a slight against them," Wu, of Houston, said in 2024 on "Define American" podcast with Antonio Vargas.
Wu, who was born in Guangzhou, China, added that Latinos, Asians and Black Americans — "everybody" — are kept divided because powerful forces have spent time and money ensuring they do not unite. …

Rubio steps into Munich spotlight as Trump leans on him to carry Vance’s populist message abroad
Who benefits from this decision?

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is leading the U.S. delegation to the high-profile Munich Security Conference — one year after Vice President JD Vance took the German stage in a speech that stunned many in Europe and became one of the defining moments of Trump’s early second term abroad. 
"President Trump has assembled the most talented team in history, including Vice President Vance and Secretary Rubio, who are working in lockstep to notch wins for the American people," White House spokeswoman Olivia Wales told Fox News Digital ahead of Rubio's speech. 
"The President and his team have flexed their foreign policy prowess to end decades-long wars, secure peace in the Middle East, and restore American dominance in the Western Hemisphere. The entire administration is working together to restore peace through strength and put America First."
The Munich Security Conference is an annual high-level forum in Germany that draws hundreds of senior decision-makers — including heads of state, top ministers, military leaders and policy influencers — for closed-door and public talks on global security crises. 
VANCE, RUBIO CHEER ON TEAM USA WOMEN'S ICE HOCKEY IN THEIR WINTER OLYMPICS OPENING WIN
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Gov. Gavin Newsom of California are among notable Democrats attending the conference, in addition to Rubio. 
Vance became one of the central figures at the 2025 Munich gathering after a widely publicized speech that drew heavy attention and applause from conservatives following the Biden administration. It also sparked backlash among some European officials who viewed his remarks as confrontational. 
Rubio's attendance at the 2026 meeting follows a lengthy history of the State Department chief earning a series of different roles under the second administration, including acting national security advisor, secretary of state, acting archivist of the United States and acting administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development. 
Amid rising trans-Atlantic tension, the secretary of state issued a warning to Europe as he departed for his trip to Germany Thursday. 
VANCE, RUBIO GREET AMERICAN WINTER OLYMPIANS IN ITALY
"The Old World is gone," Rubio told reporters as he departed for Europe Thursday. "Frankly, the world I grew up in, and we live in a new era in geopolitics, and it's going to require all of us to re-examine what that looks like and what our role is going to be."

Schumer's 'E. coli' burger photo resurfaces after another Dem's grilling skills get torched: 'What is that?'
This affects the entire country.

Virginia’s new Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger is being widely mocked for a photo of her grilling, with many on social media expressing alarm and disgust over what appears to be some type of shredded meat over the fire.
Spanberger, who ran as a moderate Democrat, has been criticized for enacting radical day one policies, including moving to end cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and restore diversity, equity and inclusion. But this week the primary criticism against her was over a photo she posted of herself smiling over a grill on Thursday with the caption, "Order up."
The post garnered immediate mockery, with many comparing it to the viral photo of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., in which the senator could be seen smiling with several of what appeared to be uncooked burger patties, one of which already had cheese on it.
Conservative commentator Greg Price reacted to the photo of Spanberger alongside images of Schumer, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe in front of grills, with the caption, "I hope Democrat politicians never stop doing photo ops behind a grill."
TOM HOMAN VOWS TO WORK AROUND NEW DEM VA GOV SPANBERGER'S EXECUTIVE ORDER ENDING ICE COOPERATION
Though the new governor was wearing a black apron with the words, "Beef, it’s what’s for dinner," her post was flooded with comments asking what the strange-looking meat on the grill truly was.
"Ma’am, what is that?" reacted independent journalist Breanna Morello.
Popular satire account Three Year Letterman commented, "How many neighborhood cats are missing" and "arrest her."
"Did you cut your meat with a weed wacker?" wrote Parker Thayer, a researcher at Capital Research Center.
Heritage Foundation research fellow Jason Bedrick commented, "What you did to that meat violates the Geneva Convention."
Another user, conservative commentator David Freeman, simply reacted, "No thanks."

Two men convicted for ISIS-inspired plot to kill hundreds of Jews in UK
Equal justice apparently isn't equal anymore.

Two Muslim men residing in the United Kingdom were sentenced to dozens of years in prison over an Islamic State group-inspired plot to kill hundreds of Jews in the Greater Manchester Area.

Walid Saadaoui, 38, of Tunisian origin, and Amar Hussein, 52, of Kuwaiti origin, were convicted on Friday over the planned terrorist plot. Saadaoui, the head of the plot, was sentenced to a minimum of 37 years in prison, while Hussein was sentenced to at least 26 years. Saadaoui’s younger brother, 37, was sentenced to six years in prison for his failure to disclose information about the plot.

Judge Mark Wall revealed the two, who had sworn allegiance to the Islamic State group, “were very close to being ready to carry out this plan.”

According to prosecutors, the duo had attempted to gain access to automatic firearms and hundreds of rounds of ammunition, which they planned to use to gun down potentially hundreds of British Jews. If successful, the attack could have been the deadliest in U.K. history.

Saadaoui, a former Italian restaurant owner and hotel entertainer, according to the Guardian, did the brunt of the work, scouting out locations and targets and arranging the purchase of the weapons to be used in the attack. Their scheme fell through after they made contact with a law enforcement operative known as Farouk, an undercover agent.

MANCHESTER ATTACK SHOWS A DARKENING FUTURE FOR EUROPE AND ITS JEWS

Saadaoui arranged to pick up two assault rifles, a pistol, and roughly 200 rounds of ammunition from Farouk at a parking lot near a hotel. When he arrived, a counterterrorism team of over 200 officers apprehended him, then his accomplice.

Their scheme began in December 2023, and they were arrested in May 2024.
