NY Dems’ self-serving grandstanding over ICE arrest of illegal migrant council staffer
Council Speaker Julie Menin expressed “outrage” that ICE arrested Rafael Andres Rubio Bohorquez, a council data analyst and Venezuelan national, who’s been in the job for about a year and allegedly possessed “a valid work permit until October.” Rep. Dan Goldman and other Dem electeds joined Menin at the hastily called City Hall presser to fume and to hurl vitriol at the Department of Homeland Security and ICE officials. Those complications didn’t keep Goldman (desperate for headlines as he faces a further-left primary challenge) from calling the ICE arrest part of an “immigration dragnet” conducted by “secret masked police” dragging people “out of cars, out of homes, out of courtrooms” and now targeting those serving “the public as employees of the New York City Council.” The grandstanding Goldman staked out the halls of immigration court at the Jacob K. Javits Federal Building on Tuesday in hopes of intervening on Rubio Bohorquez’s behalf, while Democratic council members and the staff union protested outside the federal lockup on Varick Street in Manhattan. Blue-state Democrats are afflicted by ICE delusion syndrome: City Council members on Tuesday denounced the agency as a pack of “fascists,” a “modern-day Gestapo” that’s “grabbing people off the street and disappearing them.” Menin fumed that Rubio Bohorquez “was doing everything the right way,” yet “still found himself the victim of egregious government overreach,” enforcement she called “unacceptable.” Yes: Enforcing US immigration law is “unacceptable.” Yet her “outrage” relies mainly the fact that Rubio Borhorquez signed an employment attestation in January claiming that he had never been arrested — when in fact he had been, and even the state’s Clean Slate law still requires disclosure of an expunged arrest when seeking a government job.

Hochul wants to undo old NYS law that blocks dancing in restaurants
Hochul’s State of the State reveals plan to undo old New York law that blocks dancing in restaurants She wants a dance dance revolution. The governor’s 2026 State of the State policy book released ahead of her Tuesday speech said Hochul will direct the State Liquor Authority to create a hybrid restaurant-dance license. “To improve trust and transparency and cut red tape, Governor Hochul will charge SLA with allowing dancing by default in taverns and bars and creating a new hybrid restaurant-tavern license,” the policybook stated.

Hochul’s empty State of the State message: Please re-elect me!
Meanwhile, the state already faces billions in red ink in coming years, and billions more as Washington cuts back on Biden-era no-questions-asked federal funds for New York’s sprawling welfare state and the special interests that feed on it. The gov opted to paint that as DC Republicans’ war on the state, insisting New Yorkers’ “rights are under attack” and vowing to “fight back.” Conspicuously, she offered no hint of seeking reforms to Medicaid, the largest single category of state spending, after her last effort at a fix (to the scandal-plagued home health aide program) proved a fiasco. Hochul also jumped on the anti-ICE bandwagon, vowing to “stand up” to agents who abuse their power and banning the agency’s use of state resources to nab illegal immigrants who haven’t committed “serious” crimes; she also wants to require judicial warrants for any “civil immigration enforcement” at “sensitive locations.” That’s a blatant pander to the radical, anti-ICE left, but hello?

How to Take Care of Your Mental Health in 2026
Surgeon General called it back in 2024, due to widespread feelings of disconnection, brought on by a “distressing lack of meaningful relationships, impacting mental health (anxiety, depression), and physical health (heart disease, dementia, early death),” according to Sir Google. For the people in the back: “Analog” is really just a rebrand for “Grandma hobbies,” another trending phrase presumably coined by a group of Gen Zers fed up with “millennial cringe” reels, including things like taking walks—without your phone of course—knitting, reading, putting puzzles together, trying your hand at guitar, taking up photography, and spending time in nature. And finally… There was a silver lining to being holed up on the couch for days on end—I discovered The Big C, a Netflix show starring Laura Linney (fun fact, I picked outfits out for her at a boutique in Chicago several years back) about a Minneapolis high school teacher and mom navigating her new normal upon a terminal cancer diagnosis.

Yankees acquiring Ryan Weathers to bolster pitching depth in trade with Marlins
Try it freeThe club is acquiring left-hander Ryan Weathers from the Marlins in exchange for four prospects — outfielders Dillon Lewis and Brendan Jones and infielders Dylan Jasso and Juan Matheus, the Yankees announced Tuesday night. The 26-year-old Weathers, the son of former Yankee David Weathers, bolsters the Yankees’ starting depth and also gives them flexibility, with some experience out of the bullpen and one minor league option remaining. That is important given that the Yankees are set to start the season with Carlos Rodón, Gerrit Cole and Clarke Schmidt on the injured list but will presumably need to make room for them in the rotation at some point.

Controverisal Muslim charity may lose non-profit status for role in anti-Israel protests
CAIR “institutionally endorsed and materially supported several encampments on college campuses across California, some of which resulted in violations of the law,” says the Jan. 13 letter to acting US Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent and IRS Chief Executive Officer Frank Bisignano, which has been seen by The Post. CAIR California’s Chief Executive Officer Hussam Ayloush responded with the chapter’s own letter to the IRS, denying any wrongdoing and condemning “hate, terrorism and extremism in all forms.” In a comment to The Post, a lawyer for the group said: “Contrary to the false claims made by Mr. Smith, CAIR-California is a respected civil rights organization with a long record of lawful advocacy and cooperation with government agencies.” Last year, two government watchdog groups demanded a high-level investigation into CAIR California over the disappearance of more than $7 million in federal cash that was earmarked to help resettle impoverished immigrants. Last year The Post revealed CAIR and another charity set up a “Champions of Justice Fund,” as “institutional endorsement,” awarding checks of $1,000 to Anti-Israel agitators who spread disruption at US colleges.

Recently unredacted construction plans for China’s new super embassy in London have ignited a storm of national security concerns across the United Kingdom, as blueprints reveal a hidden underground room positioned alarmingly close to some of Britain’s most sensitive communication cables.

Trump has cut the technocratic Gordian Knot — and elites hate it
Trump has cut the technocratic Gordian Knot — and elites hate it “There are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks where decades happen.” That’s a quote often attributed (perhaps incorrectly) to Vladimir Lenin — but whoever said it first, it’s certainly true of the last week or so. For nearly all of the 47 years since Jimmy Carter allowed Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini to take power in the fallacious belief that it would somehow advance the cause of human rights, Iran has been a major rival to the United States in the region and around the world. The stealthy American lightning raid that snatched him from Venezuela’s largest military base blew past advanced Chinese and Russian air defenses and incapacitated hundreds of troops guarding Maduro with high-tech sonic weapons that left them vomiting and bleeding from the ears.

Netflix poised to change Warner Bros. Discovery bid to all-cash offer amid investor angst: sources
Up till now, Ted Sarandos-helmed Netflix is said not to be prepared to up its offer, and the deal still relies on the uncertain value of a separate sale of WBD’s cable properties, CNN, TNT and Discovery Inc. That said, the move to go to 100% cash as opposed to an 85-15 cash-stock split could spark an all-out bidding war for control of WBD, prompting a new counteroffer from Paramount Skydance, the mid-sized media company run by independent movie producer David Ellison, his father, the billionaire Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, and RedBird Capital. Their arguments caused some WBD investors such as Gamco Inc.’s Mario Gabelli to demand that Netflix “simplify” its deal terms to include cash because, as he told The Post “cash is king.” Reps for Netflix and WBD declined to comment. While the pressure is on Paramount to put up more money– WBD is said to want between $2 and $4 a share more from PSKY to reopen the bidding process – people inside the firm say they are playing a long game since they believe Netflix’s deal still contains too many variables, even now with an all-cash proposal.

The granddaughter of legendary magazine editor and heiress Babe Paley wrote in an excerpt of her new memoir "Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage" published in The Sunday Times that six days after their family arrived at their vacation home, after a normal dinner in their kitchen, she received a phone call from a number she didn’t recognize, so she didn’t answer.

Divergent CEO Lukas Czinger thanked Hegseth for visiting, writing on LinkedIn that his company is “proud to stand alongside those building the Arsenal of Freedom!” On Friday, after completing an early morning workout with the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Hegseth took his tour to Castelion, a defense technology startup led by former SpaceX engineers. Speaking with Rocket Lab’s engineers, he told the 200-some-member team that they “are the engine of the new Arsenal of Freedom” for the U.S. to “project its will anywhere, anytime without question.” In December, the U.S. Space Force awarded the company a $805 million contract to develop 18 defense satellites meant to detect enemy missiles in low Earth orbit, the Long Beach Post reported.

The third “Avatar” movie has grossed $1.23 billion at the box office worldwide, per Box Office Mojo, which led Saldaña to dethrone Scarlett Johansson as the performer whose films have generated the most revenue. Saldaña, 47, plays Neytiri opposite Sam Worthington’s Jake Sully in all three James Cameron films, including 2009’s “Avatar” and the 2022 sequel, “Avatar: The Way of Water.” Saldaña has also worked with Marvel over the years, playing Gamora in 2018’s “Avengers: Infinity War” and 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame,” the second-highest-grossing film of all time, behind “Avatar.” The Oscar winner appeared in three “Star Trek” movies from 2009 to 2016, alongside Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and Simon Pegg.

Bill Clinton Under Contempt of Congress After Ignoring Bipartisan Subpoena
“One reason I think most Americans want President Clinton to answer some questions is because Jeffrey Epstein visited the White House 17 times while Bill Clinton was President,” Comer said. Epstein was in the White House double the amount of time that I was under one president.” He added that Clinton had flown on Epstein’s plane “somewhere around 27 times after the presidency.” Comer was careful to note, “No one’s accusing Bill Clinton of anything, any wrongdoing.” Still, he pointed to the significance of the subpoena and Clinton’s refusal to appear: “But for whatever reason, President Clinton didn’t show up, and the Democrats on the committee don’t seem to have a problem.” In response to the growing pressure, Bill and Hillary Clinton posted a joint statement to their personal X accounts, captioned: “This is not about Right or Left, it’s about Right and Wrong.” Comments were disabled on both posts. Every day we see the country we have dedicated our lives to improving take step after step after step backwards.” Criticizing the committee’s focus, the former president and first lady stated: “You have done nothing with your oversight capacity to force the Department of Justice to follow the law and release all its Epstein files, including any material regarding us as we have publicly called for.” Anticipating the likelihood of contempt charges, the Clintons declared: “This is not the way out of America’s ills, and we will forcefully defend ourselves.” They continued, “Indeed, bringing the Republicans’ cruel agenda to a standstill while you work harder to pass a contempt charge against us than you have done on your investigation this past year would be our contribution to fighting the madness.” They asserted that other witnesses were treated differently: “You subpoenaed eight people in addition to us.

Don’t make the mistake Obama did, Mr. President, enforce your Iran ‘red line’
Barack Obama’s 2012 failure to enforce his red line against the use of chemical weapons by the now-ousted Assad regime in Syria for the fear of empowering jihadists shattered American credibility. Obama warned the Assad regime in 2012 that a “red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around.” Assad responded with a sarin gas strike on the town of Ghouta, where witnesses described “young children convulsing, their open mouths slick with foam; stiff, unbloodied corpses lined up in rows on hospital floors.” Obama’s reticence was followed by repeated chemical attacks, deeper Russian and Iranian entrenchment, and a Syrian regime emboldened by the realization that the United States would not enforce its own red lines. History will judge both Trump and the United States harshly if Washington fails the Iranian people in this moment — just as it judged Obama harshly for turning a blind eye to Syria.

Woman seen on video allegedly blocking Minnesota ICE operation with car as agitators surround agents
Video showed federal agents on Tuesday breaking the passenger side window of the car while attempting to stop the female driver, who appeared to be wedging agents between her vehicle and another car blocking the road. Meanwhile, another crowd of about 70 to 80 protesters gathered Tuesday at Minneapolis' Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building, where they were seen blocking and throwing rocks at federal agents' cars. "It really is astounding that the Left can miraculously rediscover the Tenth Amendment when they don’t want federal law enforcement officers to enforce federal law—which is a clear federal responsibility under Article I, Article II and the Supremacy Clause—and then go right back to federalizing every state responsibility possible when they get back in power.

Trump flipped off ‘lunatic’ who called him ‘pedophile protector,’ White House confirms
Trump flipped off ‘lunatic’ who called him ‘pedophile protector’ — as worker admits he was suspended WASHINGTON — President Trump flipped off a person who shouted that he was a “pedophile protector” during a Tuesday trip to a Ford plant in Michigan. The ongoing release of files was mandated by a transparency law that Trump unsuccessfully attempted to derail last year, framing interest in Epstein as a Democratic “hoax” designed to smear him for his association with the disgraced financier. Trump has said he broke off his friendship with Epstein for poaching Mar-a-Lago staff years before the pedophile was initially arrested in 2006.

Joe Rogan calls Minnesota ICE shooting footage 'horrific,' 'very ugly' to shoot someone in the face
On Tuesday's episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience," Rogan spoke to Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., about his issues with immigration raids and cited an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer fatally shooting Renee Good in Minneapolis after Good was allegedly attempting to drive her vehicle toward ICE agents. MINNESOTA ICE SHOOTING SPARKS DEFAMATION DEBATE AS PUBLIC FIGURES CALL AGENT’S ACTIONS ‘MURDER’ Paul remarked that, ideally, local police officers should be doing the jobs of ICE agents to mitigate these reactions, but that sanctuary city policies prevent local authorities from acting on immigration cases. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP "That's what freaks people out, because when people thought about ICE, they thought, ‘Great, we're going to get rid of the gang members.’ They didn't think, ‘Great, you're going to get rid of the landscaper,'" Rogan said.

Blue State Taps Massive ‘Emergency’ Fund To Hand Out Student Loans
One blue state legislature is rolling out a statewide student loan program that will tap the state’s “emergency” fund to replace a federal program slashed under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). “The federal government is closing the door on opportunity by canceling the federal GradPLUS loan program, ending an essential program that has allowed thousands of students to afford to earn a graduate degree,” Democratic state Rep. Gregg Haddad, co-chair of the Higher Education and Employment Advancement Committee, said at a Jan. 6 presser. “There is no way of knowing if the private loan market will offer loans to people with no credit history or who come from low and moderate-income families.” The Department of Education (ED) has stated the GradPLUS program “fueled unsustainable student loan borrowing” due to its uncapped nature, allowing universities to inflate the cost of their degrees with the knowledge the federal government will foot the bill if students cannot afford it.

I’m living through Iran’s bloodthirsty, murderous crackdown — the horrible truth about what’s really happening
Here is the latest on the civil unrest in Iran: - Trump says Iran has stopped killing protesters: ‘There’s no plan for executions’ - Iran issues sickening assassination threat against Trump: ‘This time it will not miss the target’ - US pulls some troops from Middle East bases, sends guided missile destroyer to Persian Gulf - Doctors in Iran collapsing from exhaustion as protesters wounded, killed by regime pile up: ‘Rivers of blood’ But on Saturday, everything changed. At night, three days a week, water is cut off from around 9 or 10 p.m. until 6 a.m. To put it briefly, over these 47 years, aside from destroying the ecosystem and natural resources, damaging our country’s cultural heritage, and cutting ties with the rest of the world because of warmongering, they have brought nothing to our people except poverty. And I deeply hope that President Trump follows through on his promise to support the people of Iran and help dismantle this regime, so that the Iranian people can once again reach the position they truly deserve in the world.
