No matter how innocent a video game may seem, there’s usually some political agenda hidden for your kids to find — and Minecraft is no different.

“Minecraft just announced ‘Lessons in Good Trouble’ … DLC downloadable content for Black History Month,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales explains. “And so they said that they wanted to inspire their young players to change the world.”

In a post on X, the company wrote, “Want to change the world IRL? Start in Minecraft. In the free Good Trouble DLC, explore global civil rights movements, meet change-makers, and learn how to stand up, speak out, and build a better world.”

“You just don’t have to inject politics. Like, I’m not asking for my player to wear a MAGA hat. I’m just saying, like, can we just have one escape for our kids that is not taken over by left-wing indoctrinators? Can we just have one outlet?” Gonzales asks.

In the trailer for the game, Minecraft shows players walking with civil rights leaders like Rosa Parks and holding up protest signs.

The Good Trouble game has eight lessons that include India’s independence movement, U.S. civil rights, women’s suffrage, Black Lives Matter, South Africa and apartheid, working toward quality education for girls, understanding the identity of Martin Luther King Jr., and a lesson called “The I in Identity.”

“The I in Identity” includes key terms like race, ethnicity, gender, and social construct.

“Remember they said it’s free actually. They knew no one’s going to pay for this s**t, it’s not actually something we care to make money off of. We’re just trying to indoctrinate them,” Gonzales says.

And it’s not just Minecraft.

“Roblox is terrible. Don’t let your kids on it … they’re doing it within the game … they are now having virtual anti-ICE protests in Roblox,” Gonzales says, pointing out that last summer, Roblox was heavily pushing protests where the protesters were carrying Mexican flags.

“You can’t teach your kid patriotism anymore. You got to teach them how to riot in the streets,” she adds.

A California-based, unmarried Chinese couple is under scrutiny for allegedly running a massive surrogacy fraud operation that deceived potentially dozens of American women and placed 21 young children in questionable circumstances.

Guojun Xuan, 65, and his partner, Silvia Zhang, 38, were arrested on suspicion of child abuse in May, then released on bond pending further investigation, NBC News reported. Their brief arrests were sparked by hospital staff’s reports of child abuse after their 2-month-old son sustained traumatic head injuries.

‘What you did — and what you continue to do by staying silent — is foul, reckless, and cruel.’

Video evidence obtained by the Arcadia Police Department allegedly revealed that the children in Xuan and Zhang’s care “were subjected to physical and emotional abuse” by nannies, abuse that authorities suspected the couple knew “was occurring and let … happen.” The footage allegedly showed a 56-year-old nanny violently shaking and striking the 2-month-old child.

Authorities found 15 children in Xuan and Zhang’s nine-bedroom home and another six children staying with the couple’s friends. The 21 children, who ranged from 2 months to 13 years old, were placed and remain in foster care.

It is unclear how many children were born through surrogacy. The couple is believed to have one child together naturally, and Xuan is believed to be the biological father of a 13-year-old daughter.

Surrogate mothers claimed they were told the couple had either no children or only one child and were seeking surrogates after failed in vitro fertilization attempts. They also alleged that they were not made aware that Xuan and Zhang controlled the surrogacy agency representing them.

Surrogates told the Wall Street Journal in August that they had been in contact with federal agents, who informed them they were investigating whether the couple was selling children.

“We never sell our babies,” Zhang told the WSJ. “We take care of them very well.”

Several surrogate mothers are fighting for custody of the children they carried for the couple. Xuan and Zhang have filed lawsuits against at least two surrogates who ended contact with them before giving birth last fall, claiming a breach of contract.

Kayla Elliott, a surrogate mother, told NBC News in July that she was led to believe she was helping a couple struggling to conceive and was unaware that they had many other children. Elliott is fighting to obtain custody of the child, telling NewsNation that she suspects “there’s some type of trafficking going on.”

Tronderrica James, 30, another surrogate, filed a lawsuit against the couple, arguing that they gave misleading and false information about their intentions.

James stated that she was contacted by an individual named Jasmine in 2023, who described the couple as “longing for their miracle baby,” according to court documents. Jasmine allegedly claimed the couple could not speak with James directly because of “a language barrier.”

In an email to Xuan and Zhang, James wrote, “You gambled with my life. You gambled with the life of a child. You misled me, misrepresented your role, and may have broken multiple state and federal laws in the process — and you still haven’t had the decency to provide a single truthful explanation.”

“What you did — and what you continue to do by staying silent — is foul, reckless, and cruel,” James stated.

Xuan and Zhang reportedly remain under investigation. No criminal charges have been filed.

In the past six months, the couple has had another five babies born to surrogate mothers, the New York Post reported.

Xuan and Zhang have denied any wrongdoing, claiming that they just wanted to have a large family.

The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office told Blaze News that the matter remains under review by the Arcadia Police Department.

The FBI declined comment.

Xuan, Zhang, James, and the Arcadia Police Department did not respond to a request for comment.

Last week, Democrats flipped a formerly red county blue in a special election in Texas Senate District 9, which covers part of Fort Worth and the neighboring suburbs of Keller and North Richland Hills. Taylor Rehmet, a young machinist with no political experience, beat Republican Leigh Wambsganss by more than 14 points.

Political commentator Bill King flagged the scale of the shift. He noted that Republican Kelly Hancock won the seat by 20 points in 2022 and that Donald Trump beat Kamala Harris in the district by 17 points in 2024. A loss like this should worry Republicans heading into the midterms later this year.

In Texas and other red states, Republicans need to meet voters where they live.

So, what happened?

Some Republicans blame turnout. They argue the county hasn’t turned left; Democrats simply showed up and Republicans stayed home. On that theory, the result reflects motivation, not the district’s real preferences.

That explanation doesn’t hold.

A Republican candidate has the same opportunity to motivate voters as a Democrat. In a district with a large conservative majority, the Republican should enjoy a built-in advantage. She needs only a fraction of her base to turn out. The Democrat needs near-perfect performance from his side.

King also argues the result fits a broader trend. He says the numbers match polling over the last year and signal growing negativity toward Texas’ Republican leadership. Low turnout didn’t create the result so much as reveal it.

Rehmet’s win still doesn’t guarantee Democrats will take over Texas. But it does show a tactic that keeps working: Democrats run as generic moderates, keep the party label in the background, and dare Republicans to make the race about cultural signaling instead of daily life.

As writer Bill Scher noted in Washington Monthly, Rehmet didn’t “wrap himself in a Democratic flag.” Much like his counterparts in Virginia and New Jersey, he leaned on military service and blue-collar credibility. That presentation persuaded enough voters.

RELATED: This is what happens when a state elects a ‘moderate’ Democrat

That strategy works in the short term. It doesn’t last.

If and when he’s seated, Rehmet will vote as a Democrat. He will support open borders, softer law enforcement, higher spending, expanded abortion access, and the full suite of progressive social priorities. At best, he will block conservative reforms. At worst, he will push the same policies that Texans have seen wreck other places.

Voters in Tarrant County will learn the hard way what “affordability” talk usually delivers under Democratic rule: higher taxes, fewer opportunities, rising crime, and sanctimonious lectures about “reproductive rights,” all while public services strain under the load.

So, what does this election signal?

More Democrats will copy the Rehmet template. They will present themselves as normal, moderate, and practical. They will try to bait Republicans into fighting on secondary culture-war terrain instead of hammering a concrete agenda on costs, housing, and public safety. Wambsganss fell into that trap.

In Texas and other red states, Republicans need to meet voters where they live. Prices keep climbing, and housing tops the list. I live in this part of the state and see the pressure every day.

Massive in-migration from other states (particularly California and Illinois), along with continued inflows from abroad (especially from South Asia), has driven up prices and changed the character of communities fast. Many newcomers are decent people. The economic effect still hits hard: higher rents, higher home prices, heavier traffic, and more strain on schools, roads, and emergency services. Property taxes keep rising to cover it.

Republicans should say that plainly, then offer an agenda that meets the moment. They should outline feasible steps to lower costs, expand housing supply where it makes sense, reduce regulatory friction, and protect public safety.

They should also draw the contrast without flailing: Democratic governance has turned too many prosperous places into expensive, dysfunctional messes. Texans don’t need to import that model.

Voters in red states also need to stop falling for the same performance. Democrats haven’t changed. They’ve changed the packaging.

They will do to the Lone Star State what they did to the Golden State. They will do to Dallas-Forth Worth what their allies have done to New York City. Texans should treat this moment as a warning, not a fluke: Stay alert, see through the ruse, and vote like it matters — because it does.

Police are trying to determine how a mother of four children was found dismembered in the basement of a public housing building after she went out for a night on the town.

Michelle Montgomery, 39, left her home in Brooklyn on Saturday to have fun with her friends, according to Anthony Echevarria, who is described as her life partner and father of the youngest of the four children.

‘We will get justice. … I promise that.’

Montgomery’s sister said she got a strange call from the woman at about 10 p.m. that evening. She said she heard music in the background, but the call cut off after only one second. She wasn’t sure if her sister had intended to call her.

About an hour later, Montgomery posted a video on TikTok of herself dancing with two people at a local restaurant.

The next morning at about 9:30 a.m., a janitor at the Boriqunen Public Houses in Bushwick discovered her remains in the trash disposal area. WABC-TV reported that New York City Housing Authority workers found a trash bag that was suspiciously heavy in the basement.

When they looked inside, they found human remains in pieces.

Neighbors who lived in the building said they were shocked, and one reported hearing the workers screaming after making the discovery.

A medical examiner has not yet released the cause of death for Montgomery.

Echevarria told WABC that the family is devastated by the loss and the manner in which the woman’s remains were found.

“I wasn’t believing it at first. It was hard. I mean, I broke down because I couldn’t, I still can’t believe it. Still,” he said.

“So extreme. Like, I don’t even know how she ended up over there in a building, nevertheless in a (expletive) garbage bag. Mad extreme,” he continued.

A close friend of Montgomery’s looked at the last video she posted and said she didn’t recognize the people Montgomery was dancing with.

Echevarria said she had been an exceptional mother to their children and had provided for their every need.

“We will get justice,” he added. “I promise that.”

Until Saturday night, Texas Senate District 9 had been represented by a Republican for over 30 years. In 2022, Kelly Hancock won the seat by 20 points. Last November, Donald Trump beat Kamala Harris in the district by 17 points. So when Hancock stepped down to accept the appointment as controller, Republicans had little reason to think the seat would be in jeopardy.

But on Saturday, Democrat Taylor Rehmet trounced his Republican opponent by over 14 points — a 31-point swing since the 2024 election. The results have sent shock waves through the Texas Republican establishment.

For the last two decades, Republican leaders have governed the state to satisfy their base — pandering to the issues important to those voters and ignoring what most Texans wanted.

Some Republican pundits have discounted the results because it was a special election with a very low turnout. It is certainly true that the turnout in Saturday’s election was much lower than last November (15% versus 64%). But the results are consistent with polling over the last year, signaling that Texans have been turning increasingly negative on the Republican leadership of the state.

Over the last year, the University of Texas Polling Project has conducted seven polls asking voters whether they approved or disapproved of the job various state leaders were doing. Trump and all statewide Republican leaders began the year with positive approval ratings. By the end of the year, all were in negative territory. The average move downward was 24 points.

The crosstabs in the polls show that the groups who have turned most negative are independents, Latinos, and young people. Of course, there is considerable overlap between these because Latinos and young people eschew both parties at higher rates than other groups. Nonetheless, the moves within these groups in 2025 were breathtaking.

Even more startling is that Trump’s approval rating with Republicans dropped by 17 points (from 88% to 71%) — and this was before the debacle that has played out in Minnesota or his threat to invade Greenland. One political operative I spoke with, who closely followed the Tarrant County race, estimated that 15%-20% of Republicans voted for the Democrat candidate.

I think the poll’s questions on what issues Texas voters are most concerned about are telling. The issues garnering the most response were “political corruption/leadership” (18%), inflation (16%), and the economy (14%). Another 67% said they were very concerned about the cost of health care. Two-thirds of Texans believe that Trump’s tariffs are leading to higher prices. Texans also disapprove of state leaders’ handling of abortion (-17), regulation of marijuana/THC (-20), and public education (-23).

Let me tell you what was not on the list at all: the danger that Sharia law would take over the state.

For the last two decades, Republican leaders have governed the state to satisfy their base — pandering to the issues important to those voters and ignoring what most Texans wanted. That was largely because independents, even though they frequently disagreed with the positions state leaders were taking, found Democrat candidates even farther outside their comfort zone.

But the Tarrant County results and the polling trends over the last year suggest Republican leaders may have gone so far that independents now view Democrats as the lesser of the two evils.

America is navigating a moment of intense polarization. Widespread civil unrest over federal immigration enforcement, deepening distrust in institutions, and a sharp surge in gold prices have much of the nation steeped in economic and institutional anxiety.

Many Americans are fretfully asking the question: What’s next for our country?

News outlets, influencers, and podcasters are all answering that inquiry differently using various metrics, opinions, and filters, but Glenn Beck’s prediction comes from none other than history itself.

And when he holds the current state of the nation up against historical patterns, he sees it all — the good, the bad, and the ugly.

“If we were an early warning system, there would be some lights on the panel that are flashing today. Some would be red, some would be yellow, and some would actually be green,” he says.

On this episode of “The Glenn Beck Program,” Glenn delivers an honest reading of America’s dashboard and predicts what comes next.

Red lights

1: “Loss of nuance”

This light is “blinking really hard,” Glenn warns.

He points to the dialogue surrounding the death of Alex Pretti — the 37-year-old U.S. citizen fatally shot by federal agents on January 24 in Minneapolis during an anti-ICE protest — as the best current example of America’s lack of nuanced conversations.

“A healthy society can hold two ideas at the same time. An unstable society cannot do that,” Glenn says. “And right now, we’re losing the ability to say somebody can be really guilty and a bad guy and mistreated; law enforcement can be necessary, needed, doing their job, and fallible; protests can be legitimate and infiltrated by insurrectionists.”

“Those things are all true, but America can’t see that anymore,” he laments. “When everything collapses into all good or all evil, there is no moral clarity anymore.”

2: “Faction over truth”

Truth, Glenn contends, is “meant to be argued about, wrestled with, thought about,” but in America today, truth has become about which team you’re on.

“Facts no longer persuade. All they do now is signal allegiance,” he says, calling it “a late-stage indicator” of America’s path to collapse.

“Once truth bends to faction, power then replaces persuasion every time in every civilization in all of history.”

3: “Organized disorder”

Glenn differentiates “organized disorder” — the coordinated, professionally funded, strategically disruptive actions that go beyond peaceful expression — from constitutionally protected protests.

“You have a right to protest the law. … You have a right to go protest the people who make the law to get them to change the law. You have a right to go and stand peacefully and protest the cops, if that’s what you want, or ICE,” he explains, “but you do not have the right to engage and disrupt the law.”

But unfortunately, that’s exactly what’s happening in Minneapolis right now. Many demonstrations involve breaking the law and physically engaging with law enforcement. And the scariest part is that these kinds of protests are rarely grassroots. They’re professionally organized and well-funded thanks to deep-pocketed donors who aim to collapse the country from within.

“When unrest becomes coordinated, when it becomes professionally funded, strategically disruptive, and shielded by moral confusion, … that’s no longer a spontaneous civic expression,” Glenn explains.

What we’re seeing on the streets of Minneapolis is intentional “internal destabilization,” and it’s a flashing red light that America is catapulting toward its demise.

Yellow lights

1: “Currency confidence”

Glenn calls the skyrocketing price of gold a yellow light because it’s “serious” but “not fatal at this point.”

“The way gold is rising — it’s not a collapse announcement. It is a stress gauge,” he says, noting that gold has recently been “trading at as high as $5,600 an ounce.”

Gold reflects “trust or the lack of it,” and the fact that people are buying it up, even at exorbitant amounts, indicates their uncertainty in certain “promises.”

“What promises are those?” Glenn asks. “Promises of, we’re a stable society; we are not going to spend ourself into oblivion; that our government and our Congress gets it, and they’re going to stop spending so much and borrowing so much.”

The people buying up gold right now “know things are beginning to get really dicey. It’s a yellow light, and it is trending hotter every day,” he warns.

2: “Debt saturation”

“Debt isn’t immoral, but debt that can’t be discussed honestly and paid back is immoral — and it’s dangerous,” Glenn says.

This is the predicament America finds itself in. We’re no longer asking, “How are we going to pay this bill?” but instead, “Who bears the burden of this bill?”

“That’s when debt becomes corrosive and deadly,” Glenn cautions. “And we’re not Rome yet, but this gauge is rising.”

3: “Institutional distrust”

“Skepticism,” Glenn argues, is good and necessary. The five rights listed in the First Amendment — freedom of speech, religion, assembly, the press, and petition — are proof that “skepticism is our first amendment.”

Distrust, however, is “paralyzing,” he declares. “When people believe the courts are illegitimate, … if they believe elections are meaningless, law enforcement is either sacred and can make no mistakes or evil and can do no good, the system loses its elasticity.”

This light, he warns, is “getting deeper yellow.”

Green lights

1: “We’re still arguing about right and wrong.”

Glenn celebrates that public debates are still normal.

“Collapsing societies stop arguing about morality. They argue only about power, and we’re still arguing about justice and what it means — limits, rights, responsibility,” he says. “That’s not decay. That’s conscience. It’s still alive.”

2: “The Constitution still exists, and it’s still being cited.”

It’s a very good sign that the majority is still cognizant of and concerned about upholding the Constitution.

“It’s getting a little sketchy,” Glenn acknowledges, “but we’re still arguing it, and that tells you something powerful: People still believe rules matter, even when they break them.”

For now, this light is “green, but it’s fragile.”

3: Warnings are still being issued on both sides.

In a nation on the verge of collapse, the warnings go silent.

“I’m able to get on the air and speak to you about these warnings. MSNBC is able to get on the air and speak to you about what they see as warning signs,” Glenn celebrates.

Before its historic collapse, Rome “silenced its warnings,” he recalls. “We are today still able to have them on the air legally — both sides.”

“That alone means this system is not finished.”

For those who look at the red and yellow lights and see inevitable ruination, Glenn has an encouraging message: “Red lights do not mean doom. They mean choice. … Civilizations don’t collapse because warnings exist; they collapse because warnings are mocked, politicized, or ignored. So the question is not, ‘Are we Rome?’ The question is, “Will we do what Rome didn’t do and respond to the warning signs while the lights are still on?”’

Former Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Wayne Eyre (Ret.) suggested Monday that Canada can only be a truly sovereign nation if it possesses nuclear weapons.

The declaration might ordinarily be dismissed as the reckless words of a retired soldier nostalgic for the day-to-day military operations he once commanded. But Eyre was the highest-ranking member of the Canadian armed forces, a position roughly equivalent to chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the United States.

The suggestion that Canada should pursue nuclear weapons amounts to a massive repudiation of its defense relationship with the United States, its closest ally.

Eyre made the comments at a conference hosted by the Conference of Defense Associations Institute, an organization largely run by former generals and admirals that lobbies the government for increased defense procurement spending.

“I would argue that we will never have true strategic independence absent our own nuclear deterrent,” he told the event, according to the Globe and Mail. Minister of National Defense David McGuinty was quick to reiterate the Canadian government’s long-standing commitment to nuclear non-proliferation, emphasizing that Canada should remain a purely conventional power operating within the nuclear capabilities of NATO and NORAD.

Nuclear ‘options’

But Eyre appears to be operating from his own defense doctrine.

“Here in Canada, let’s keep our options open,” he said.

“We’ve got a good nuclear enterprise here,” he added. “If conditions change, we’ve got the civilian infrastructure. We’ve got the scientists.”

Eyre’s remarks have not drawn any response from the U.S. military or from War Secretary Pete Hegseth. But the suggestion that Canada should pursue nuclear weapons amounts to a massive repudiation of its defense relationship with the United States, its closest ally.

Although Canada contributed scientists and researchers to the Manhattan Project that produced the first atomic bomb, it did not develop its own nuclear arsenal during the Cold War, choosing instead to remain under the American nuclear umbrella.

While Eyre’s cavalier attitude toward nuclear weapons may evoke comparisons to the right-wing hawks lampooned in Stanley Kubrick’s “Dr. Strangelove,” Eyre was, in practice, a viscerally woke military leader. He was appointed by former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and appeared to draw inspiration from Trudeau’s ideological priorities.

Dressing down

Under Eyre’s leadership, the CAF strictly adhered to DEI policies that produced some of the most liberal dress and deportment standards of any modern military. Mandatory haircuts were eliminated. Both men and women were permitted to grow their hair to any length, dye it any color, and wear nail polish. Uniform requirements were loosened to the point that the “dress of the day” could effectively be whatever a service member chose.

Public backlash followed. So many objections were posted to the CDS’ X account that Eyre shut down the comments section entirely.

“In recent months, we observed a concerning increase in malicious and misinformative engagements that proved detrimental to the Canadian Armed Forces’ ethics, values, and communication objectives,” National Defence spokesperson Andrée-Anne Poulin explained in an email. “Considering this, we made the decision back in January to close the comments section on the CDS X account.”

Bombs away

What many Canadians may not realize is that three Canadian military bases hosted nuclear weapons owned by the United States Air Force between roughly 1965 and 1984. Air Force wings at Comox, B.C., and Bagotville, Que., had access to American Genie missiles that could be loaded onto CF-101 Voodoo fighter jets operated by the CAF.

Yet unlike today’s tendency among politicians such as British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron to speak about war with Russia as though it would not risk catastrophic nuclear consequences, Cold War-era military and political leadership largely agreed on one essential point: A nuclear conflict would be unwinnable for all sides and therefore had to remain unthinkable.

A Dallas nonprofit organization is under fire after a local news investigation found evidence that they were taking money while failing to provide the meals they promised to students.

The board of the Hunger Busters organization called for the resignation of CEO Latame Phillips after KTVT-TV reports documented that many schools hadn’t even heard of the group.

‘I look at the kids that we serve, and they remind me of myself.’

Hunger Busters has been in operation for 25 years in West Dallas and said its mission was to provide meals for “food-insecure” students in the Dallas Independent School District.

The organization has had many notable figures on its board and ran numerous charity events to raise money for the cause. The trouble appeared to begin in 2023 when Phillips became the CEO after starting as a delivery driver at the nonprofit.

He said at the time that they fed about 3,500 students on a daily basis.

“I look at the kids that we serve, and they remind me of myself,” Phillips claimed.

In 2024, he applied for a grant through the Tyler Street Foundation to buy a van for the nonprofit. The foundation president said the organization was thrilled to help, when it was bombarded with another request claiming the nonprofit needed emergency funds to purchase the property it operated from.

The foundation gave Hunger Busters $116,200 to make both purchases.

When they took a photo with the new van, the foundation president got suspicious.

“There was just a magnetic sign stuck on it that said ‘Tyler Street Foundation supports Hunger Busters.’ We really began to be curious. There was just something about that day that seemed off,” Vivian Skinner said.

She said they found out the van was a rental and the group had provided fake documentation. Then they found that Hunger Busters had not purchased the property either.

The Tyler Street Foundation has filed a lawsuit against Hunger Busters.

The investigative team found that there was little to no activity at the group’s property related to the mission and that none of the schools it served had received any food for a year. Some of the schools reported their last delivery to have been longer than a year ago.

Phillips denied the allegations and said the organization had changed its mission to support “churches, community-based organizations, and partner nonprofits,” but refused to provide names of those organizations.

The board has since said that it has “unanimously approved an independent forensic accounting investigation” and plans on “restructuring the organization to strengthen financial oversight, operation, and internal controls.”

The organization’s website has been shut down, as well as its Instagram and Facebook accounts.

Former President Bill Clinton excoriated Republicans’ demands to have him and Hillary Clinton testify about Jeffrey Epstein and called for a public hearing instead.

Clinton wrote in an angry screed on social media Wednesday that Republican Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer of Kentucky asked them to appear at a closed-door hearing.

‘Who benefits from this arrangement? It’s not Epstein’s victims, who deserve justice. Not the public, who deserve the truth.’

“I have called for the full release of the Epstein files. I have provided a sworn statement of what I know. And just this week, I’ve agreed to appear in person before the committee. But it’s still not enough for Republicans on the House Oversight Committee,” Clinton wrote.

The Clintons agreed to testify after Congress found them both in contempt for refusing to produce documents related to the billionaire pedophile.

“Now, Chairman Comer says he wants cameras, but only behind closed doors. Who benefits from this arrangement? It’s not Epstein’s victims, who deserve justice. Not the public, who deserve the truth. It serves only partisan interests. This is not fact-finding, it’s pure politics,” he added.

“I will not sit idly as they use me as a prop in a closed-door kangaroo court by a Republican Party running scared,” Clinton concluded. “If they want answers, let’s stop the games & do this the right way: in a public hearing, where the American people can see for themselves what this is really about.”

Hillary Clinton made a similar statement on Thursday.

“For six months, we engaged Republicans on the Oversight Committee in good faith. We told them what we know, under oath. They ignored all of it. They moved the goalposts and turned accountability into an exercise in distraction,” she wrote.

“You love to talk about transparency. There’s nothing more transparent than a public hearing, cameras on. We will be there,” she added.

While the feud between the Clintons and Republicans escalated, millions of pages from the Epstein files were released by the government at the end of January, including thousands of images and video recordings.

While BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales wonders whether or not steps will be taken to address the alleged widespread Somali fraud, one congressman is taking action to stop future abuse.

“While we are talking about whether or not Somalians who committed unprecedented amounts of fraud will ever actually be held accountable, there is a warrior in Congress taking action to prevent more of it from happening,” Gonzales says on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”

That warrior is Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas), who is introducing legislation that would set a 25-year moratorium on Somalis migrating to the United States.

“He has been warning for a while about number one, the fact that they refuse to assimilate, which like, you cannot have a cohesive country when you are importing a bunch of immigrants from a third-world country who refuse to assimilate to your first-world values,” Gonzales explains.

“That can’t happen. You can’t have that. That’s not a country that you want, because that’s not a country that functions … he’s also been warning about the abuse of our welfare benefits because as it turns out, you guys are going to be shocked to hear this,” she continues.

“As it turns out, when you import people from the third world who have absolutely no marketable skills, no education. … They don’t know how to do anything that pays good money or contributes to our economy. All they do is siphon out more of your taxpayer dollars by way of welfare benefits,” she adds.

And in a recent House Oversight Hearing on the Minnesota fraud, Gill brought this concern up.

“Does large-scale Somali immigration make Minnesota stronger or weaker?” Gill asked Democrats’ witness Brendan Ballou, former special counsel at the DOJ.

“Certainly stronger,” Ballou replied.

“Certainly stronger,” Gill repeated, before asking, “Do you know what percentage of Somali-headed households in Minnesota are on food stamps?”

“No,” Ballou replied.

“54%,” Gill explained. “Do you know what that number is for native Minnesota-headed households?”

When Ballou tried to deflect without answering, Gill cut him off and said, “It’s 7%.”

Gill went down the list, telling Ballou that the amount of Somali-headed households on Medicaid is 73%, while native Minnesota households were 18% — and even more concerning, the amount of Somali-headed households on welfare in general is 81%.

“Somalians are contributing nothing to our society except fraud and abuse and siphoning off your taxpayer dollars,” Gonzales comments. “And I don’t recall voting to bring a bunch of third worlders into my country to use my tax dollars to go out there and create fake day cares and siphon in the millions.”

“I didn’t actually vote for that. I don’t think you did either,” she continues, asking, “So why should we continue to allow this?”

Mariah Carey and a tribute to disco are hardly controversial.

For the 2026 Winter Games, the Olympics kept political messaging to a minimum, save for a couple of small segments.

‘Harmony between beauty and creativity.’

The games, which are taking place in Milan and Cortina, Italy, held two parades for the opening ceremonies. Athletes came from the mountains, where they will compete in Cortina, down to the town square to celebrate, while fans packed the San Siro Olympic Stadium in Milan to watch the ceremonial performances.

The ceremony opened with a montage video featuring skiers, a woman making a bowl of pasta, cappuccinos, families on a mountain, Italian sports cars, and more.

According to NBC’s commentary team, the ceremony that followed was meant to represent “harmony between beauty and creativity.”

This featured dancers dressed as angels performing a lot of interpretive movements, which was a recurring theme throughout the near-hour-long event. There were mascots serving as an ode to Italian composers, giant paint tubes, and even a segment dedicated to disco dancing.

After Mariah Carey sang in Italian, a few of the more contentious elements of the ceremony appeared.

First, a very diverse cast of fans arrived at the stadium on a train before Armani-clad models in Italian colors delivered the Italian flag to the podium. Then, an “all-female honor guard,” which NBC noted was the first of its kind for the Olympics, raised the flag.

What seemingly caused the most disagreement was the Olympic committee using giant rings to represent harmony between dueling ideals, which then turned into the Olympic rings. Fans pointed out on X that this was similar to London‘s use of the rings in 2012.

“Bit of a London copy of 2012,” one viewer wrote.

“Copying the [Brits] I see! Nothing will top 2012 opening and closing ceremonies,” another person reacted.

Overall, the general lack of divisive messaging in the ceremony was appreciated by viewers, with one applauding the organizers. “Italy. No woke garbage.”

The 2024 Paris Olympics’ opening ceremony sparked worldwide controversy, however, particularly with Christians. The ceremony mocked the Bible’s Last Supper with a “drag queen Last Supper,” replacing Jesus and his apostles with a cast of disturbing characters, including an obese woman in the place of Jesus.

A nearly nude male, painted blue, appeared as Dionysus, the god of winemaking, vegetation, fertility, and ecstasy.

The strange events were also coupled with a drag queen carrying the Olympic torch before the games started.

In 2026, rapper Snoop Dogg, who is a part of the NBC Olympics crew, wore a special Italian Olympic chain. This is noteworthy because in 2024, the musician was accused of wearing a chain that some alleged was a representation of Baphomet. Baphomet is a pagan god adopted as a symbol for the Satanic Temple.

Snoop rejected the idea, saying he had it made because “somebody told me I was the GOAT, so I wanted to make me a goat chain.”

This time around, Snoop focused on celebrating the Jamaican bobsled team, which is drawing comparisons to the 1993 film “Cool Runnings.”

A 16-year-old girl said in a video interview that that she fought the adult male with a MAGA hat at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement protest in Texas earlier this week, calling him “old” and “racist” while excusing fellow teen brawlers.

“I didn’t think it was going to escalate this far,” Alissa, a student at Moe & Gene Johnson High School in Buda, told KEYE-TV. “I didn’t think that he was going to be capable to even think to hit a minor. I didn’t think he was actually going to get out of his vehicle. So in the moment I reacted.”

‘I’m not gonna let, like, [an] old man, a racist man, like, say something to a minor.’

Alissa told the station she saw another female juvenile kick the man’s truck amid a verbal argument between them Monday afternoon.

“She kicks the truck. She just kicks the truck one time, and that’s it,” Alissa added to KEYE. “That’s the moment that he got mad. He reached for his door. He decides to get off the vehicle and starts to come straight to the girl and starts to attack her.”

She also told the station that “he should have known better. He’s an adult. He could have just easily let the girl hit the car, park to the side, call the police, and call it a day. He decided to get out of the car and do what he did.”

Alissa added to KEYE that cellphone video another student recorded shows the moment she intervened.

“He kind of got on top of her and started to hit the girl. In that moment, I reacted. I went and I pulled the guy off, and that’s when I hit him,” she recalled to the station. “Everybody comes and attacks him, and it escalates from there.”

Alissa in her interview with KEYE excused the actions of her fellow teens.

“It’s teenagers,” she argued to the station. “How was he not going to expect teenagers to act like teenagers? Like, if they have the moment to attack a guy, and they’re doing a protest … like, obviously those kids are gonna take the time out of their day to come defend the girls.”

Alissa added to KEYE, “Like, it’s a girl. Like, he should have known better, like, not to put his hands on girls, first of all, and he should have known that it’s a minor; he should have known that these are kids doing a protest.”

She also told the station, “I’m not gonna let, like, [an] old man, a racist man, like, say something to a minor.” The reporter interviewing Alissa didn’t ask her to clarify why she called the man a racist.

Alissa’s father told KEYE he was furious when Alissa told him the man grabbed her by her hair.

“I was really, really mad,” Jose Loredo told the station. “We are grown-ups, you know; we’re not little kids. And him hitting girls, females, you’re not supposed to do that. He could have just left. No reason to pull over and get off his car.”

Buda Police said 45-year-old Chad Michael Watts of Kyle was charged Tuesday with two counts of assault causing bodily injury, which are Class A misdemeanors.

Hays County Jail records indicate Watts was booked into jail Tuesday and released Wednesday on two surety bonds of $2,500 each. Police told KEYE in a separate story that Watts has no previous record of violent offenses.

While police determined that Watts was the primary aggressor, Officer Matt Schima with the Buda Police Department told KEYE in a video interview that police also are looking into possible charges against the juveniles involved in the brawl and that “we want to be thorough in this investigation to make sure that everybody is held accountable that needs to be held accountable.”

KEYE claimed that it had attempted to reach out to Watts for comment but those attempts were unsuccessful.

A congressional committee has demanded documents related to the suspicious increase in the net worth reported by Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.

Republicans have publicly aired suspicions of financial malfeasance after financial reporting showed Omar’s net worth exploded from about $51,000 to millions.

‘There is no way such wealth could have been accumulated, legally, while being paid the salary of a politician.’

On Friday, Republican Rep. James Comer of Kentucky posted a letter requesting information from a company partially owned by Omar’s husband, Timothy Mynett.

“There are serious public concerns about how your businesses increased so dramatically in value only a year after reporting very limited assets,” wrote Comer, who is the chairman of the House Oversight Committee.

In May 2025, Omar filed a required congressional financial disclosure that indicated two companies tied to her husband had risen in valuation by at least $5.9 million. The disclosures require only ranges of valuations to be reported, so exact sums are not public.

“There is no way such wealth could have been accumulated, legally, while being paid the salary of a politician,” President Donald Trump said at the time.

Omar said that various investigations into her finances found no discrepancies and added that the valuations did not reflect her husband’s share of the companies.

The letter demanded financial records from a winery and a venture capital management firm, including audited financial statements as well as filings and communications with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

“I’m demanding financial information from companies linked to Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar’s husband,” Comer wrote on social media. “His companies reportedly went from $51K to $30 MILLION in one year — with zero investor information. So we want to know: Who’s funding this? And who’s buying access?”

The letter set a deadline of Feb. 19 for the documents to be delivered to the committee.

On January 30, the U.S. Department of Justice dropped over 3 million pages of Epstein-related documents, as mandated by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed into law by President Trump in November 2025. This massive data dump includes roughly 2,000 videos and 180,000 images.

These revelations seem to confirm what independent voices like Glenn Beck and Matt Kibbe have warned about for years: a shadowy cabal of insiders wield tremendous power to shape how we think.

As the dust settles around this 2026 bombshell, it’s the perfect time to revisit BlazeTV’s docuseries “The Coverup” — Matt Kibbe’s deep dive into a similar web of corruption: the COVID-19 pandemic.

Months before this latest Epstein file dump, Glenn Beck sat down with Kibbe to dissect the insidious links between COVID mandates, Russiagate hoaxes, and censorship to pinpoint the very same shadowy forces now spotlighted in the Epstein files.

“The same people and the same machine that weaponized the Russiagate story and covered up the Hunter Biden laptop story are the same people in the [COVID-19] apparatus,” Kibbe told Glenn.

With the Epstein files shining new light on long-hidden networks of power and influence, now is the time to watch BlazeTV’s “The Coverup” series. Go to faucicoverup.com to access the full series.

A federal court has cleared the way for President Donald Trump’s ban on diversity, equity, and inclusion policies in federal agencies to go forward on Friday.

U.S. Circuit Judge Albert Diaz, who was appointed by former President Barack Obama, wrote the opinion for the three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia.

‘Continue your critical work. Keep the faith. And depend on the Constitution, which remains a beacon amid the tumult.’

“President Trump has decided that equity isn’t a priority in his administration and so has directed his subordinates to terminate funding that supports equity-related projects to the maximum extent allowed by law,” the judge wrote. “Whether that’s sound policy or not isn’t our call.”

The ruling lifts an injunction on the order that had been issued by U.S. District Judge Adam Abelson of Baltimore in Feb. 2025.

Abelson said the executive order likely violated the free-speech amendment to the Constitution. That lawsuit was filed by the National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education, the American Association of University Professors, and the City of Baltimore.

The court ruled against the arguments made opposing the order but allowed for the possibility of challenging them after the ban is implemented.

Diaz went on to admit in a separate concurrent opinion that he issued the order “reluctantly” and encouraged those fighting the DEI ban to continue their work.

“For those disappointed by the outcome, I say this: Follow the law,” Diaz wrote. “Continue your critical work. Keep the faith. And depend on the Constitution, which remains a beacon amid the tumult.”

Judge Abelson was appointed by former President Joe Biden.

The Department of Homeland Security slammed Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) for issuing an executive order ending state and local law enforcement cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

On Wednesday, Spanberger signed a directive requiring local authorities to terminate all existing 287(g) agreements with ICE, claiming that these arrangements “placed Virginia law enforcement officers under federal control and supervision to conduct civil immigration enforcement.”

‘Governor Abigail Spanberger continues to release pedophiles, rapists, gang members, and murderers onto Virginia’s streets.’

The agreements allow ICE to delegate to local law enforcement officers the authority to perform specified immigration officer functions under the agency’s supervision.

Over 30 law enforcement agencies in Virginia have agreements with ICE, according to the agency’s website.

“Governor Spanberger said her administration has been closely reviewing agreements state law enforcement agencies were required to sign in 2025. These agreements forced Virginia law enforcement agencies to hand over their men and women to be supervised by ICE,” Spanberger’s office wrote.

DHS fired back at Spanberger in a statement to Blaze News, claiming that the governor’s policy would “make Virginia less safe.”

“When politicians bar local law enforcement from working with DHS, our law enforcement officers have to have a more visible presence so that we can find and apprehend the criminals let out of jails and back into communities. Seven of the top 10 safest cities in the United States cooperate with ICE. Instead of working with us, Governor Spanberger is choosing to RELEASE violent criminals from her jails directly back into our communities to perpetrate more crimes and create more victims,” a DHS spokesperson stated.

“While Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger continues to release pedophiles, rapists, gang members, and murderers onto Virginia’s streets, our brave law enforcement will continue to risk their lives to arrest these heinous criminals,” the DHS continued.

The department listed several illegal aliens that ICE had recently arrested in Virginia, stating, “These are the criminals Governor Spanberger is protecting in Virginia.”

The individuals included Delvan Lopez Garcia, a Guatemalan national with prior convictions for sex assault and enticement of a minor for prostitution; Joel Reyes-Aguilar, a Honduran national previously convicted of sex assault-sodomy of a girl with strongarm and molestation of a minor; Mesfin Hussin, an Ethiopian national with a homicide conviction; Somcith Sysountone, a Thai national with convictions for sex assault-carnal abuse and other offenses; Marvin Dejesus Salinas Rodas, a Salvadoran national with convictions for assault and homicide-negligent manslaughter with a vehicle; and Edwin Antonio Hernandez Hernandez, a Honduran national and MS-13 gang member who confessed to five murders.

Spanberger’s office did not respond to a request for comment.

New York City’s first Muslim mayor cited verses from the Quran before saying he is strengthening sanctuary city laws to protect illegal aliens.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) made the comments during an interfaith prayer meeting on Friday morning. The order will prohibit Immigration and Customs Enforcement from entering city property without a judicial warrant.

‘If faith offers us the moral compass to stand alongside the stranger, government can provide the resources.’

“I consider my own faith, Islam, a religion built upon a narrative of migration,” said Mamdani. “The story of the Hijrah reminds us that prophet Muhammad … was a stranger too who fled Mecca and was welcomed in Medina.”

The order will also create a new task force to focus on immigration and ICE, increase protections on private data, and institute a review on agency policies to ensure they follow the mayor’s directives.

He went on to site several other Quran verses.

“‘As for those who immigrated in the cause of Allah after being persecuted, we shall surely bless them with a good home in this world,'” he quoted. “Or as the prophet Muhammed … said, ‘Islam began as something strange and will go back to being strange. So glad tidings to the strangers.'”

Here the audience applauded his quote.

“If faith offers us the moral compass to stand alongside the stranger, government can provide the resources,” Mamdani continued. “Let us create a new expectation of city hall, where power is wielded to love, to embrace, and to protect. We will stand with the stranger today, tomorrow, and all the days that are still to come.”

Video of Mamdani quoting the Quran was posted to social media.

In January, Mamdani said that the city would expand free day-care opportunities to the city’s residents and specifically included illegal aliens. He also signaled that he would continue the city’s sanctuary policies.

“We are also proud to be a sanctuary city,” Mamdani said at the time. “What a sanctuary city means is that we have policies in place, policies have existed for years in the city, that deny ICE agents access into schools, hospitals, city properties, or even the properties of city contractors unless those ICE agents can present a judicial warrant signed by a judge.”

Kyle Wagner, the 37-year-old Antifa thug arrested in Minneapolis on Thursday for allegedly making threats against federal agents, appears to be far more of a degenerate than his criminal complaint suggests.

Wagner has long cosplayed as a leftist guerrilla, distributing gas masks to fellow travelers, accumulating and selling leftist agitprop, and going so far as to permanently ink some propaganda symbols on his body.

‘I am all the things they hate about Antifa.’

In recent videos on Instagram where he yammers about the “secret war” that’s supposedly underway and seemingly threatens federal agents, Wagner repeatedly flashes his tattoo of the German Iron Front’s three arrow symbol.

The three arrows symbol, popular among Antifa and other leftist terrorist groups, has historically signaled socialists’ opposition to monarchism, fascism, and national communism; however, the triad of targets appears to vary depending on the leftist group and murderous cause of the day.

Wagner evidently likes to dress up in more than pinko tattoos and anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement apparel.

The self-identified Antifa member — who faces numerous charges, including impeding/retaliating against a federal officer, threatening injury to family, interstate domestic violence, and conspiracy to injure an officer — admitted in a video that he also likes to dress up in women’s clothing “all year, all the time.”

The apparent autogynephile suggested that his transvestism frequently makes women uncomfortable. He used colorful language to condemn those women who “mumble to themselves and have all kinds of things to say behind [his] back.”

In a recent interview with the Chicago-based DJUTV, which appears to have been taken down on YouTube, Wagner apparently stated, “I own my weird queer stuff. I am all the things they hate about Antifa.”

Antifa, which Democrats have repeatedly claimed does not exist, is an anarcho-communist militant group that has long threatened lives and property throughout the Western world.

President Donald Trump designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization in the wake of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s assassination last year by a radical assassin who allegedly etched Antifa slogans into his bullet casings.

“I’m a union guy that dresses up in women’s clothing, and I’m queer, but I’m also a father,” continued Wagner.

“I love the Church of Satan’s, you know, commandments and stuff. … I’m a crazy leftist.”

In addition to signaling support for the “commandments” of the Church of Satan — an organization that states that its exemplar, Satan, “represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification!” — the transvestite expressed support for Black Lives Matter in its supposed fight against “white supremacists.”

According to the federal criminal complaint, Wagner allegedly threatened the men and women of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on multiple occasions, telling his followers to: “cripple them”; “put our hands on them”; “hunt ice”; “disable their vehicles”; “surround them and disarm them”; “fight ice”; “kill or be killed”; “arrest ice”; and “take their f*****g masks off and take their f*****g guns.”

In addition to allegedly flooding his social media pages with such inciting rhetoric, the satanic cross-dresser allegedly threatened and doxxed a supporter of ICE, publishing his or her phone number, birthday, and address online.

“This man allegedly doxxed and called for the murder of law enforcement officers, encouraged bloodshed in the streets, and proudly claimed affiliation with the terrorist organization Antifa before going on the run,” said Attorney General Pam Bondi. “Today’s arrest illustrates that you cannot run, you cannot hide, and you cannot evade our federal agents: If you come for law enforcement, the Trump administration will come for you.”

Olympic gold medalist Imane Khelif has added yet another twist to the story of men competing in women’s sports.

After dominating women in the 66kg competition at the Paris Olympics in 2024, Khelif was reported by four different sources to be a male.

‘He cannot twist the truth. I’m not trans; I’m a girl. I was raised as a girl.’

Last year, World Athletics announced it would introduce mandatory gene testing for athletes wanting to compete in the women’s category, particularly for the SRY gene. That gene is found on the Y chromosome, which only men have.

After more than a year of denying being a male, Khelif has admitted to having the SRY gene, but still claims to be a female. Khelif also maintains an openness to testing.

French outlet L’Équipe asked Khelif about having a “a female phenotype” while still having “the SRY gene,” to which Khelif replied, “Yes, and it’s natural. I have female hormones. And people don’t know it, but I’ve already lowered my testosterone levels for competitions.”

“I am surrounded by doctors, a professor follows me, and I have taken hormonal treatments to lower my testosterone levels,” the boxer explained. “For the qualifying tournament for the Paris Games, which took place in Dakar, I lowered my testosterone levels to zero. And I won the gold medal there.”

The outlet noted that the average levels for women are between 0.3 and 3 nanomoles of testosterone per liters of blood. If Khelif is being accurate, there would likely be a significant number of health effects related to lowering testosterone levels close to zero. This would include low bone health and depleted energy levels.

Khelif was persistent throughout the interview, saying, “We all have different genetics; we all have different hormone levels. I am not a transsexual. My difference is natural. I am like that. I have done nothing to change the way nature has made me.”

“That’s why I’m not afraid,” the gold medalist went on. “For the next Games, if you have to take a test, I will submit to it. I have no problem with that. I have already done this test. I contacted World Boxing, sent them my medical records, my hormone tests, everything. But I got no response. I don’t hide; I don’t refuse tests. What I don’t understand is why people want to exaggerate my story so much.”

The aforementioned reports regarding Khelif’s sex have all shown the boxer to be a male with XY chromosomes. This includes tests by the International Boxing Association, the World Boxing Organization, and other endocrinological experts.

3 Wire Sports reported that the athlete’s alleged medical condition is formally described as 5-alpha reductase type-2 deficiency. The report said Khelif has XY chromosomes, internal testes, and a “micropenis.”

Moving forward, both World Athletics and the WBO will begin testing for the SRY gene.

However, there does exist a possible, very rare way for a person to have female chromosomes (XX) while still having the SRY gene; this is referred to as 46,XX testicular difference of sex development.

This is a genetic abnormality in those with XX chromosomes who develop male sex characteristics, including testes, that may be small and undescended. This causes those who do not have a Y chromosome to develop male sex characteristics.

According to Medline Plus, this occurs “as a random event during the formation of sperm cells in the affected person’s father. In this condition, the SRY gene (which is on the Y chromosome) is misplaced, almost always onto an X chromosome.”

However, Khelif claims to have a female phenotype and to be a natural woman.

Khelif was asked about participating in the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles and for thoughts on President Trump. Khelif said, “I don’t mix sport with politics,” before adding, “I respect everyone, and I respect Trump. Because he is the president of the United States.”

However, Khelif still remained steadfast in a message to the president: “He cannot twist the truth. I’m not trans; I’m a girl. I was raised as a girl, I grew up as a girl, the people of my village always knew me as a girl. I respect him if he respects the truth.”

After Nicki Minaj began voicing her conservative views and working with Turning Point USA, other celebrities have made it clear they’re no longer impressed with the rapper — and definitely not with TPUSA.

“They are still attacking Nicki Minaj over connecting with TPUSA, over promoting Donald Trump,” BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock explains to his panel on “Fearless,” before playing a clip of Shannon Sharpe and Joe Budden’s criticism of Minaj and the late Charlie Kirk’s brainchild.

“Nicki goes on stage with Charlie Kirk’s widow,” Sharpe said to Budden on his “Club Shay Shay” podcast.

“I didn’t love it,” Budden replied.

“That is the role that I believe Turning Point to play in the rewriting of history or revisionist history when they visit these schools and have all this money just basically being pumped into a certain belief system,” Budden said.

“I won’t take us there and speak to what I believe that belief system to be. But it’s a mess. It’s deeper than political views. I’m not political at all. … That’s not my bag,” he continued.

“There’s a tone that I don’t think is hidden, and they’re hiding these white nationalist views behind Christianity,” he added.

“‘White nationalist views behind Christianity.’ That is certainly a complaint we’ve heard from other people, perhaps a bit more informed than Joe Budden. But, and I’ve got to be honest, I have mixed emotions as it relates to Nicki Minaj in terms of her music isn’t my kind of music,” Whitlock comments.

“It’s a kind of music that I now fully and enthusiastically reject and, you know, frame in the most demonic ways possible. But I’m like anybody else. I kind of halfway like her pivoting and at least being, you know, not captured by the Democrat Party,” he continues.

Unlike Sharpe and Budden, BlazeTV contributor Shemeka Michelle supports and respects Minaj thinking for herself.

“All of us get on social media and tweet our thoughts or say what we feel or where we stand. I think that she has the same right to do that. And what I’m seeing from the left, really the ones that compare ICE to the slave patrol or Republicans to the KKK, I’m actually seeing that they don’t care about black people at all. Although they try to put it with race, it’s really just, they want undying loyalty and allegiance to the Democrat Party,” Michelle tells Whitlock.

“She took some pictures with President Trump, and she is his biggest fan. She said she’s on that side. I haven’t really seen her take a very, I would say, Christian stand or, you know, ‘this is my new life’ type of stand,” she continues.

“It’s just been more very surface. … I don’t have a problem with her learning or trying to figure it out publicly. I think we all do that if you are part of social media, and that’s just what it is. I really support her right to do exactly what she’s doing,” she adds.
