​ February 2, 2026 Good morning, Welcome to the news for independent thinkers ​ Leading the News . . . ​ GOP War Chest Bulges While Democrats Sink Into Debt . . . The RNC closed 2025 with a massive $95 million in cash, dwarfing the DNC's measly $14 million. While the Left struggles with $17 million in debt, the President Trump-led fundraising machine is firing on all cylinders. Finally, Republicans seem to have figured out how to sweep up more cash than Democrats. It's badly needed given that Democrats are in a strong position to take the House, which would end Trump's ability to move legislation and likely result in more impeachment.

Marsha Blackburn is highlighting a cold reality: Nashville Electric Service hosted 102 DEI training sessions while neglecting basic infrastructure. Instead of trimming trees or burying lines, NES focused on social engineering, leaving some residents facing twenty days without heat. It's a textbook case of woke priorities leading to a literal power failure, proving diversity initiatives won't keep the lights on.

Sorry, but sadly, the best artists are liberals. This has always been the case. By politicizing the Kennedy Center, Trump has ensured that they will stay away. He'll probably knock the whole thing down, or much of it, and then rebuild it the way he likes. ​ ​GOP faces divide on ICE reforms as House struggles to end shutdown​ ​ ​Sen. Bill Cassidy took on RFK Jr. over vaccines. Now Kennedy's followers are out to defeat him.​ ​ Trump Vows to Sue "Talentless" Noah After Grammys Smear . . . President Trump is threatening a massive defamation suit against Trevor Noah after the Grammy host falsely linked him to Jeffrey Epstein's private island. During the "virtually unwatchable" broadcast, Noah suggested Trump needed a "new island" to hang out with Bill Clinton. The President fired back on Truth Social, noting he has never even been close to the site. It is just another night of the elite entertainment class using fiction as a weapon. Read More: Washington Examiner​ ​ Please, please sue him, at the very least for being "talentless" and for not being funny. Trevor Noah has perpetrated a fraud on the American people by pretending to be funny and deserves to be fined for the harm he has caused Americans who tune in to his appearances expected to laugh. Culture Jelly Roll Wins Big, Liberals Lose Their Minds . . . After Jelly Roll's Beautifully Broken snagged Best Contemporary Country Album, the star's heartfelt gratitude to Jesus triggered a social media meltdown. Despite the 41-year-old's genuine testimony, the tolerant Left dismissed his faith as religious psychosis. This reflexive hostility toward traditional values explains why middle America is tuning out. When a man credits God for transforming his life, elite coastal critics see a pathology.

A New York jury handed down a $2 million malpractice verdict after a 16-year-old girl was fast-tracked into a double mastectomy. This historic victory against the Westchester medical establishment marks the first time the "gender-affirming" industry has been held legally accountable for butchering a minor. If the threat of bankruptcy is what it takes to stop surgeons from carving up confused children, so be it. The era of unchecked medical experimentation is, hopefully over.

Federal authorities just completed a massive two-week sting across West Virginia, resulting in 650 arrests with zero protests in sight. While the Left promotes sanctuary cities, ICE worked seamlessly with 14 local agencies from Charleston to Martinsburg to clean up the Mountain State. This quiet, efficient enforcement proves that when ICE is not having agitators block their cars, blow whistles at them, and spit on them, they can do their job effectively and without tragic incidents.

In Rome, a community that survived the Caesars and the Gestapo is facing a new, ugly reality: a "rising tide" of anti-Israel vitriol making the Eternal City feel anything but permanent. While Rome hosts 3 million people, its 15,000 Jews are seeing their historic quarter—once a lively hub—defaced by antisemitic vandalism and physical attacks. It's a grim irony that in a modern, "progressive" Europe, the same streets where Nazis conducted raids in 1943 are again becoming zones of visible security and aggressive confrontations.

Money Michigan Farmers Halt Meta's $1 Billion Data Center . . . Howell Township just proved that local sovereignty can beat Big Tech's checkbook after residents spiked a $1 billion Meta data center. Despite assumptions that conservatives would rubber-stamp any "business" deal, the community prioritized their 1,000 acres of farmland over the AI boom. By forcing a development moratorium, these Michigan Republicans sent a clear message: deregulation shouldn't mean the destruction of rural identity to further enrich Silicon Valley.
