Winter Storm In "Ludicrous Mode" As 10,000 Flights Canceled, Power Outages Near 1 Million, And Grids Strained

The major winter storm we've been tracking all week is now blanketing much of the eastern half of the U.S., with snow falling from Oklahoma through Louisville, Cleveland, Washington, DC, Baltimore, and Philadelphia, and now reaching Boston.

Impacts are already significant, with the largest surge in flight cancellations and delays since the Covid era: Airlines have canceled more than 10,00 U.S. flights for Sunday, according to the flight-tracking site FlightAware. Most in single day since Covid era.

Left-Wing Activists Run Shadow Police Force On Signal To Target ICE In Minneapolis

Last week, federal prosecutors issued six grand jury subpoenas to Minnesota officials, including Gov. Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and others, as part of an investigation into whether they obstructed or impeded federal deportation operations.

While the subpoenas appeared focused on whether public statements by state and local officials interfered with federal immigration enforcement, late Saturday night, new reports from citizen journalists suggest the alleged obstruction may have extended well beyond just rhetoric at press conferences and on social media.

Let's begin with citizen journalist Cam Higby's bombshell reporting, who says he "infiltrated organizational signal groups all around Minneapolis with the sole intention of tracking down federal agents and impeding/assaulting/and obstructing them."

"Each area of the city has a Signal group, or in some cases multiple groups. Let's start with a screen recording of all members of the south side group," Higby said.

Higby describes spending several days undercover deep within left-wing activist Signal groups that coordinate pressure campaigns against ICE agents. He notes that members use emojis to designate their specific roles and responsibilities.

According to Higby, the group's core operations include organizing mobile patrols that continuously search for suspected federal vehicles. When a vehicle is flagged, its details are shared with designated "plate checkers," who cross-reference the information against a database of known federal assets and update the records if a match is confirmed.

"Dispatch runs a maxed-out call all day, telling protesters where ICE has been spotted and how they can best be impeded," he said.

You're are a traitorous joke lady

One in Three California Community College Applicants Is Fake

California’s community college system has a responsibility to educate students, safeguard taxpayer funds, and provide affordable pathways to upward mobility.

Instead, it has become a case study in how public institutions collapse when verification is optional, enforcement is politicized, and fraud is treated as collateral damage.

Roughly one in three applicants to California’s community colleges—about 1.2 million individuals—is believed to be fraudulent.

These are fake students, many operating overseas, enrolling in online classes, submitting AI-generated assignments, occupying limited course seats, and collecting state and federal financial aid intended for real students.

California operates the largest public higher-education system in the nation, spanning 116 community colleges and serving more than two million legitimate students. The system was built to expand access and workforce training.

Instead, it became a low-friction entry point for scammers precisely because identity verification was optional for most applicants.

The scale of the problem forced action only after national scrutiny. Following a CalMatters investigation, nine members of Congress contacted the U.S. Department of Education and the Justice Department requesting a federal investigation into California’s community college financial aid process.

Only then did the system’s governing board vote to require student identity verification—a basic safeguard that should never have been discretionary.

Even that reform met resistance. The board debated charging a nominal application fee, reportedly no more than $10, before rejecting the proposal and instead directing staff to “explore” alternatives.

During public comment, students described competing with bots for required courses and losing seats needed to graduate or transfer. One student testified that a fake enrollee took her place in a class essential to her academic timeline.

That testimony underscores the real cost of fraud. Every fake applicant displaces a real student. Every fraudulent enrollment delays graduation, increases costs, and undermines the promise of affordable higher education.

This breakdown is not unique to community colleges. It reflects a broader pattern across California’s public-benefits systems, where eligibility checks were relaxed and oversight treated as a moral failing rather than a governing necessity.

California lost $32.6 billion to unemployment fraud during the pandemic. Prison inmates collected more than $1 billion in fraudulent claims, including payments sent to death-row inmates.

In disability insurance audits, state officials flagged 345,000 claims and found that 98% of the listed medical providers were fake.

RINO Senator Bill Cassidy Demands Investigation Into ICE — Denounces Their ‘Incredibly Disturbing’ Campaign in Minnesota

RINO Senator Bill Cassidy is demanding an investigation into the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency.

In a statement posted on the X platform on Saturday, Cassidy described the ongoing immigration crackdown in Minnesota as “incredibly disturbing.”

“The events in Minneapolis are incredibly disturbing,” he wrote. “The credibility of ICE and DHS are at stake.”

Cassidy added, “There must be a full joint federal and state investigation. We can trust the American people with the truth.”

Schumer Announces Senate Democrats Will Block DHS Funding Bill Over Minneapolis Shooting

What’s happening in Minnesota is appalling—and unacceptable in any American city. Democrats sought common sense reforms in the Department of Homeland Security spending bill, but because of Republicans’ refusal to stand up to President Trump, the DHS bill is woefully inadequate to rein in the abuses of ICE. I will vote no.

Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker Says Trump Makes People ‘Want to Commit Violence Against Federal Government’

“We are living in a dangerous moment, and it’s time for the President to pull ICE out of Minneapolis, to regroup and rethink how we do immigration in the United States,” Pritzker argued.

“He’s done a terrible job of immigration enforcement, and, indeed, is fomenting violence and causing people to want to commit violence against the federal government, because of the loss of trust,” he continued.

“People haven’t done that; they’ve been peacefully protesting, but, boy, we’re on the edge of sparking something in this powder keg.”

: My family is from the border. My mom grew up in Laredo, Texas.

Our southern border should be like our front porch. There should be a giant welcome mat out front and a lock on the door. We can welcome immigrants who want to live the American dream.

We can build a pathway to citizenship for those neighbors who have been here, making us richer and stronger. And we can keep out people who mean to do us harm.

Anti-ICE Rioters Barricading Entire Blocks In Minneapolis As Police Appear To Be MIA

“Protesters have blocked and barricaded multiple streets near the shooting, many people from out of town are starting to arrive here in Minneapolis and despite the massive amounts of tear gas used by authorities, the crowd is only getting bigger,” Ventura says.

Ventura told the DCNF that Minneapolis police and the Minnesota State Patrol “are letting them take to the streets” and not making any effort to remove the barricades. The Minneapolis Police Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the DCNF.

‘Starmer Is a Traitor!’ Thousands Protest Planned Migrant Camp in Small English Town

Thousands of English locals turned out onto the streets in East Sussex on Sunday to protest against plans to house hundreds of alleged asylum seekers at a former military training camp in Crowborough.

This week, the Home Office, the government department tasked with controlling Britain’s borders and immigration system, began transferring migrants to the East Sussex camp, with 27 alleged asylum seekers being brought to the camp on Thursday, the local Argus newspaper reported .

The site, which is earmarked to hold up to 500 migrants at any one time, was commandeered by the government as it seeks to lessen its dependency on UK hotels to house migrants while their asylum claims are processed. According to the government, the migrants will only be stationed at the camp for three months at most.

However, the move has nonetheless sparked local concern in Crowborough, with opponents pointing to previous examples of crimes committed by the hands of hotel migrants, including the sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl by an Ethiopian hotel migrant just days after breaking into the country illegally via the English Channel from France.

Thousands were seen waving the British Union Jack and the English flag of St George as they marched through Crowborough to demonstrate against the migrant camp.

Sarah White, of the Pink Ladies anti-mass migration campaign group, said : “Crowborough says no. The community of Crowborough just like all of the communities across the country don’t want undocumented men in their communities.”

Daily Mail , protesters were heard chanting “Keir Starmer, traitor” and seen carrying signs reading, “Crowborough says no!” and “Protect Britain from Tyranny, Listen to the People.”

Earlier this week, the Home Office confirmed that 27 asylum seekers have moved into the East Sussex camp. Three people were arrested, apparently amid opposing the move, including a 36-year-old man, a 62-year-old woman, and a 54-year-old man from Newhaven.

As of September, the government was housing around 36,273 supposed asylum seekers in hotels. This figure is likely to continue to rise, given the more than 41,000 illegal migrants who reached British shores last year. The government has vowed to shut down the migrant hotel scheme by 2029.

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has said that while she understands there is a “strength of feeling” in opposition to the Crowborough camp, she said that it is “crucial” to the transition away from migrant hotels and therefore vowed to “vigorously” defend the project against any legal challenges from locals.

UK Government to Create a ‘British FBI’ to Handle National Investigations

The British government said Sunday that it will unveil plans this week to create a new national police force, dubbed the “British FBI,” to take charge on complex investigations such as counterterrorism, fraud, online child abuse and criminal gangs.

The National Police Service will bring under the same umbrella the work of existing agencies dealing with terrorism and crime, police helicopters and policing of the roads, and regional organized crime units in England and Wales.

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said the new body will lift the burden on the 43 local police forces in England and Wales, helping them focus solely on day-to-day crimes within their jurisdictions.

“Some local forces lack the skills or resources they need to fight complex modern crime such as fraud, online child abuse or organized criminal gangs,” she said.

Macron Calls for Fast-Track Social Media Ban for Children Under 15

French President Emmanuel Macron says he wants his government to fast-track the legal process to ensure that a ban on social media for children under the age of 15 can enter into force in September at the start of the next school year.

In a video released late Saturday by French broadcaster BFM-TV, Macron said he had asked his government to initiate an accelerated procedure so that the proposed legislation can move as quickly as possible and be passed by the Senate in time.

“The brains of our children and our teenagers are not for sale,” Macron said. “The emotions of our children and our teenagers are not for sale or to be manipulated. Neither by American platforms, nor by Chinese algorithms.”

Macron’s announcement came just days after the British government said it will consider banning young teenagers from social media as it tightens laws designed to protect children from harmful content and excessive screen time.

According to France’s health watchdog, one in two teenagers spends between two and five hours a day on a smartphone. In a report published in December, it said that some 90% of children aged between 12 and 17 use smartphones daily to access the internet, with 58% of them using their devices for social networks.

Government moves to circumvent advice of AG, whose office warns of ‘abuse of power’

Cabinet resolution would remove requirement for AG to approve cabinet resolutions, government legislation; opposition says motion aimed at helping coalition stay in power

The government is planning to approve a cabinet resolution that would allow it to carry out executive actions and advance legislation without the approval of the Attorney General’s Office.

The move would upend a decades-long practice by which the attorney general reviews and approves key government policies and legislation to ensure they comply with the law, before they are advanced.

The Attorney General’s Office said the resolution would enable the government to act unlawfully by avoiding all legal advice, and pave the way for the abuse of governmental power. It said the resolution itself was therefore unlawful and should not be approved.

Justice Minister Yariv Levin, who initiated the resolution, originally sought to bring it to a vote in Sunday’s cabinet meeting, but his office later said it would be brought to a vote next week.

Opposition leaders denounced the proposal, with Democrats party head Yair Golan describing the resolution as an attempt by the government “to dismantle the gatekeepers [of the rule of law] in order to stay in power.”

At the same time, the government, on Levin’s initiative, is advancing legislation in the Knesset that would strip the attorney general role of most of its powers, and make the appointment entirely political, with the government having total control over the appointment and dismissal process.

Levin’s office did not publish the text of his proposed resolution, and his office refused to release it when asked by The Times of Israel. But a legal brief by the Attorney General’s Office on the resolution laid out the key changes the motion would create.

The resolution would enact changes to the Government’s Rules of Procedure document, governing the way the government works, allowing it to bypass the requirement to get legal approval for cabinet resolutions, a form of executive action, and formal government legislation.

In a letter sent by Deputy Attorney General Gil Limon to Levin on Sunday, Limon asserted that the resolution would essentially mean the government would no longer need to act in accordance with the law, and represented a “foundational change” to ensuring the proper running of government and the rule of law.

“This would do severe harm to the public and create a wide opening for illegal action by the government, for abusing governmental power, and [for] the unlawful use of government budgets,” warned Limon.

Wave of settler attacks reported across West Bank villages over weekend

Israelis said to have set vehicles ablaze, sprayed graffiti and attacked residents, with several Palestinians hospitalized in separate incidents

A wave of settler violence swept across several West Bank villages over the weekend, with masked Israelis allegedly torching vehicles, vandalizing property, and injuring Palestinians in separate incidents, according to Arabic media and Palestinian Authority reports.

In the latest attack, masked settlers set fire to vehicles and sprayed graffiti on property in the village of Atara overnight Sunday, Arabic media reported.

The graffiti in the central West Bank village reads, “Regards to Zini from Har Hamor,” in a reference to Shin Bet chief David Zini. Har Hamor is an ultraconservative yeshiva in Jerusalem where Zini studied.

Another instance of graffiti reads “Happy Ramadan holiday,” referring to the Muslim holy month that begins in February. A Star of David was tagged next to the phrase.

There were no reports of injuries or arrests in the incident.

Separately, four people were injured in a settler attack on Saturday on a home in the Palestinian Christian town of Birzeit, near Ramallah, the Palestinian Authority’s official Wafa news agency reported.

According to the report, settlers assaulted the home, on the outskirts of the town near an IDF checkpoint, and pelted its occupants — a woman and her son — with stones.

'Ritual sexual abuse' of minors: Senior religious Zionist rabbi warns of ‘social narcissism’

Medan said the alleged perpetrators are not strangers but people who may be embedded in daily community life, including in synagogues and shared religious study settings.

Parents of teenage boys approached a senior religious Zionist rabbi with “clear” reports of ritualized sexual abuse carried out under the guise of religious or social ceremonies. Rabbi Yaakov Medan, a senior religious Zionist rabbi and co-head of Yeshivat Har Etzion, spoke on the “Mashav” YouTube channel and urged the public to recognize the phenomenon and act to protect minors.

Medan said the alleged perpetrators are not strangers but people who may be embedded in daily community life, including in synagogues and shared religious study settings. He framed the issue as a communal test of responsibility and vigilance.

‘Social narcissism’ and the pressure to deny

Medan criticized what he called “social narcissism,” arguing that a desire to see the community as “pure, beautiful and clean” can make it harder to confront serious wrongdoing. He said the result can be a reflex to dismiss claims that sound implausible, even when families report harm.

He warned that the cost of denial is borne by children and parents who feel they are not believed. Medan urged religious and communal leaders to listen carefully and to treat reports with urgency.

A wider public debate on “ritual abuse”

The remarks come as Israeli lawmakers have held hearings in the past year on allegations of organized, ritualized abuse, with survivors calling for stronger investigation and accountability. In December 2025, a Knesset hearing heard new testimony, and the Knesset Research and Information Center noted Israel has no legal definition for “ritual abuse,” a gap that can complicate detection and prosecution.

Earlier Knesset discussions in 2025 also included criticism of state authorities’ response and questions about whether existing tools and frameworks are sufficient for complex allegations.

Separate reporting by The Jerusalem Post has highlighted prevention-focused guidance for schools, camps, and religious institutions, including policies that set clear adult-child boundaries and encourage reporting through professional channels.

Medan, in the video, warned that ignoring such reports would amount to collective failure, adding: “Rabbis, this is happening.”

Boy Scouts' Collapse Mirrors Masonic Moral Breakdown

The organization now faces one of the largest sexual abuse scandals in U.S. history, with more than 82,000 sexual abuse claims involving over 7,800 former leaders.

Boy Scout lawsuits allege that: BSA leaders and volunteers sexually abused tens of thousands of boys, often during Scouting events, camping trips, or one-on-one interactions

The organization failed to protect children from known sexual predators.

Leaders maintained internal records known as the "perversion files" for over 100 years to keep track of sexual abusers instead of reporting them to the police

Many victims were too young or too afraid to speak out when the abuse first occurred, and those who did were often ignored or silenced

Thanks to the brave survivors who have come forward, a landmark $2.46 Billion Boy Scouts of America settlement fund has been established for those harmed due to the organization's negligence.

The implosion of the Boy Scouts of America is a microcosm for what has happened to society: the use of homosexuality to destroy an organization that once promoted masculine role models, male camaraderie and wilderness skills.

However the 2009 article below suggests that the Masons had targeted the BSA 100 years ago.

Feb 17, 2020: Boy Scouts of America are declaring bankruptcy, so they won't have to compensate thousands of sexual abuse victims. In a move both craven and irresponsible, they are staying open for business.

There's a very real risk that a parent signing their child up for scouting hasn't heard of the scandal, or isn't aware of its size and scale. Testimony from 2009 showed that the BSA knew about 7,800 former leaders who had sexually abused over 12,000 children. One attorney for the victims suggested that the scandal could be bigger than the one currently facing the Roman Catholic Church.

Admittedly, modern Scouts are not the same organization long considered by Americans to be synonymous with honesty - Scout's honor! - religious devotion and good moral character. Like many others, under political and social pressure they converged, so to speak, with postmodern moral norms, revoking their ban on homosexuals in 2014 and letting girls join as of 2017.
