Much like early-19th-century South Carolinians, leftist protesters in Minnesota appear determined to nullify federal law. Unlike their antebellum ancestors, today's nullifiers enjoy substantial support from well-heeled liberals. For instance, on Thursday's episode of CBS's "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," the smug, wealthy, lanky, lunatic, and soon-to-be-retired host took up...

First Lady Melania Trump has given her views on the emergence of artificial intelligence. Melania attended the virtual “Zoom Ahead: AI for Tomorrow’s Leaders” event on Friday afternoon and gave her opinion on AI. The First Lady, during a Zoom meeting with Zoom CEO Eric Yuan, shared that AI is ushering in the Age of Imagination but urged young people to continue thinking for themselves and not become completely dependent on AI. Newsmax provided in-depth details on Melania Trump’s remarks: First lady Melania Trump delivered a message of encouragement and caution to young Americans on Friday, calling artificial intelligence a powerful tool for creativity while warning against relying on it as a substitute for independent thought. “We are living in the age of imagination,” Trump said in a speech that aired on Newsmax, describing the moment as a “new era powered by artificial intelligence,” where curiosity can be satisfied “almost magically” and “in seconds.” In her remarks, Trump framed AI as a catalyst for learning and creative exploration, telling students they are “fortunate to have the capability to fulfill your dreams through the power of learning,” with AI acting as “the primary engine for creative exploration.” She emphasized that curiosity remains the common thread behind human progress, pointing to history’s most celebrated innovators. “The world’s greatest minds, our writers, architects, scientists, and painters, all had endless interests about human nature,” Trump said, adding that they questioned what had not yet been answered. Trump challenged young people to imagine using AI to build ambitious projects from home, including films, fashion brands, and art. “Are you ready to produce your own movie?” she asked. “Do you want to build the next Dress to Impress Empire? Have you ever wondered how to become the next master artist? Create your own song.” She noted that for the first time, aspiring creators can develop “movie characters, scripts, fashion, music, art, the entire ecosystem,” using AI tools. But she argued the real starting point is not software, but mindset. “What do you need to start? You need to harness your imagination,” Trump said. She described the most valuable modern skill as “knowing what to ask, why it matters,” and learning to think beyond easy answers.

Your support directly advances my mission to prepare America’s next generation to use AI to enhance their education, and ultimately their careers. Indeed, this is an incredible time. We are living in the Age of Imagination. The Age of Imagination is a new era, powered by artificial intelligence, where one’s curiosity can be satisfied almost magically, in seconds. You are fortunate to have the capability to fulfill your dreams through the power of learning, with AI serving as the primary engine for creative exploration. History reminds us that curiosity is the driving force behind every great achievement. The world’s greatest minds – our writers, architects, scientists, and painters – all had endless interest about human nature, and they all questioned that which was yet to be answered. Are you ready to produce your own movie? Do you want to build the next Dress to Impress empire? Have you ever wondered how to become the next master artist? Create your own song? Every giant, at some point in time, questions the status quo. Their singular vision pushes humanity in a new direction. Artificial intelligence is changing today’s world, and your curiosity should serve as the driving force. For the first time in history, the young girl dreaming of becoming a fashion designer and the young boy who wants to stand-up his cool animated superhero series can do so, from their own home. Artificial Intelligence provides all the tools needed to implement your creative vision – today. You can develop movie characters, scripts, fashion, music, art – the entire ecosystem. All with AI. But, what do you need to start? You need to harness your Imagination. In the new AI era, the most powerful skill is knowing what to ask, why it matters, and how to think beyond the first answer. I encourage you to be stubbornly curious, think outside the box, and question everything. Creators must stretch their minds to think differently. The world of possibility is endless, and AI is extending the conceptual in ways never dreamed of before. In the past, memorization unlocked opportunity. Today, your curiosity will open new doors to meaning, innovation, and leadership. But we must remember, although artificial intelligence can generate images and information, only humans can generate meaning and purpose. Deep thinking, patience, and staying curious are where purpose begins. Today, I urge you to take action: use AI to unlock new parts of your imagination. Lead with your ideas, stay sharp, but remember – never surrender your thinking to AI. Choose to let your imagination drive your intellectual progress. But never use AI as a quick solution. Be intellectually honest with yourself – use AI as a tool – but do not let it replace your personal intelligence. Pursue understanding with passion like no generation before. Make an impact. Knowledge is power. Nobody can take it away from you. Good luck and wishing you a successful year ahead!

If you had to guess who is the largest landowner in the United States, you might think Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos. However, none of these billionaires can claim the top spot of the largest landlord in the United States. Los Angeles Rams owner Stanley Kroenke, instead, has just been rewarded with the title of the largest landowner in the United States. CNBC reported more on Kroenke’s new deal that makes him America’s largest landowner: Stanley Kroenke owns the world’s most valuable sports empire, including the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams. Now the sports tycoon is also America’s largest private landowner, according to the newly released Land Report. At 2.7 million acres, Kroenke’s holdings are larger than Yellowstone National Park — or the equivalent of roughly 2 million football fields. Kroenke bought nearly 1 million acres of New Mexico ranchland in December from the family behind industrial conglomerate Teledyne, per The Land Report. According to the trade publication, the Singleton Ranches transaction is the largest land purchase in the U.S. in more than a decade. Late Teledyne founder Henry Singleton started his namesake ranch in the 1980s, and it’s grown into one of the nation’s largest cattle- and horse-breeding operations. The acquisition vaulted Kroenke from fourth to first on The Land Report’s annual ranking of the country’s 100 largest private landowners, leapfrogging the Emmerson lumber family as well as billionaire media moguls John Malone and Ted Turner. Most of the top 100 landowners aren’t boldface names like Kroenke. The Emmerson family, which ranks second, owns an estimated 2.44 million acres through their forest-products company Sierra Pacific Industries. The Singleton family, which sold the New Mexico ranches to Kroenke, still made the cut at 98th place with 171,000 acres. However, investing in U.S. farmland has become popular among the ultra wealthy as a hedge against inflation and stock market volatility. From 2019 to 2024, farmland values have grown at an average annual rate of 5.8%, or 2% after inflation, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Billionaire entrepreneurs from Bill Gates to Philip Anschutz are increasingly buying up swaths of land for farming, ranching and forestry. Gates ranks 44th overall on The Land Report list with 275,000 acres but is still the largest private owner of U.S. farmland, specifically. Owned through his investment group, Cascade Investment, Gates’ farmland grows soybeans, corn, cotton, rice and even potatoes used for McDonald’s french fries. Here’s a photo of Kroenke in case you have never seen him: Stanley Kroenke, owner of the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams and the world’s most valuable sports empire, is now America’s largest private landowner, according to the latest Land Report. pic.twitter.com/QKVCU567iT — Stock Sharks (@stocksharks_) January 15, 2026 Land Report reported who is behind Kroenke: In 2026, America’s largest private landowner is Stan Kroenke, who controls an estimated 2,700,000 acres nationwide. In December, Kroenke cemented his position at the top of the rankings by completing the single-largest land purchase in the United States in more than a decade—acquiring more than 937,000 deeded acres of ranchland in New Mexico from the heirs of Teledyne founder Henry Singleton (1916–1999). Kroenke is followed by Red Emmerson and his family, who rank second with 2,440,000 acres in California, Oregon, and Washington through their timber-products company, Sierra Pacific Industries. The Emmersons vaulted into the top tier of American landownership in 2021 after purchasing 175,000 acres in Oregon from Seneca Timber Company, a move that pushed them past Liberty Media chairman John Malone, now the nation’s third-largest landowner with 2,200,000 acres. Rounding out the upper ranks is CNN founder Ted Turner, who stands fourth with 2 million acres spanning the Southeast, the Great Plains, and the American West. The Land Report 100 Research Team analyzes transactions and scours records to determine America’s leading landowners. That’s how we broke the news in 2020 that Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates was America’s largest farmland owner with more than 260,000 acres. That’s how we identified Shanda Investment Group founder Tianqiao Chen as the owner of almost 200,000 acres of Oregon timberland in 2024. It’s one of the many reasons why news organizations worldwide rely on the Magazine of the American Landowner to understand this asset class. What’s your insight?

It seems as if Jimmy Kimmel cannot go a single show without mentioning President Trump. In the latest airing of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, the late-night talk show host offered Trump his Emmy Award. Kimmel, attempting to mock President Trump for receiving the Nobel Peace Prize from Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, offered Trump his Emmy award in exchange for removing ICE agents from Minnesota. Far Out Magazine reported the following details on Kimmel’s sarcastic move: Jimmy Kimmel has conceded that he would be happy to give President Donald Trump an Emmy personally, on the condition that he withdraws ICE from Minneapolis. On January 15th, Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado gifted Trump her Nobel Peace Prize in a political move to curry favour with the president. Seemingly inspired by the move, Kimmel made the offer during his monologue on the January 15th episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! “Rarely does a president yank a Nobel Prize off of someone’s neck,” Kimmel said in his monologue. Kimmel continued, “He’s back in the Oval Office sucking on it like a pacifier right now. Look at how happy he is. Have you ever seen anyone happier than that for winning this prize? He didn’t even win.” Awarding the President, Kimmel suggested, was the only way to get Trump to “do anything” at all. This led Kimmel to an offer Trump may in fact take up: “Mr President, I have an offer I think you’re going to find difficult to refuse.” Referencing the dire political situation in Minnesota, Kimmel stated: “If you — and only if you agreed to pull ICE out of Minneapolis and put them back at the borders where they belong — I am prepared to offer you one of the following trophies that I have been honoured with over the years.” Watch Kimmel below: Jimmy Kimmel offers to let Trump have one of his trophies if he will pull ICE out of Minneapolis. pic.twitter.com/OhbQitGZYU — Ron Filipkowski (@RonFilipkowski) January 16, 2026 On Thursday, Yahoo News reported Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado officially gave her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump: Speaking to the press after her White House meeting with President Trump on Thursday, Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado said she had “presented” Trump with her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize medal as “a recognition for his unique commitment with our freedom.” “Is it his now?” one reporter asked. Machado did not answer. Hours later, Trump took to social media to confirm the news. “María presented me with her Nobel Peace Prize for the work I have done,” he wrote. “Such a wonderful gesture of mutual respect. Thank you María!” Before the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded Machado the prize last October, Trump made no secret of his desire to win it himself, saying he just wanted “to be treated fairly” for “stopp[ing] seven wars.” “They’re big ones too,” Trump told the Daily Caller. Since then, Trump has not let the issue rest, adding another war to his list (Israel and Hamas) and saying it would be “a great honor” to share the prize with Machado, who indicated ahead of her visit that she would offer it to the president. The Venezuelan activist previously dedicated her award to Trump. “I single-handedly ENDED 8 WARS, and Norway, a NATO Member, foolishly chose not to give me the Noble Peace Prize,” the president wrote on social media last week.

I wasn’t expecting to hear this from a Trump adviser. Trump adviser Kevin Hassett said President Trump is creating the New World Order. Hassett made the remarks while making an appearance on Fox Business. Mediaite reported more on Hassett’s comments: Kevin Hassett, the director of the National Economic Council, boasted on Fox Business that President Donald Trump was “creating” the “New World Order.” Asked by Fox Business host Charles Payne on Thursday what viewers could expect from Trump’s Davos speech this year, Hassett replied that there would be “some look at the New World Order that President Trump is creating.” “You know, a lot of countries that were whining about tariffs six months ago and saying that President Trump was going to harm their economies had pretty good years,” he continued. “And I think it’s in part because people recognize that President Trump has made it so that we are the shining city on the hill again. We are the engine of global economic growth because the U.S. is really that strong again.” “New world what now,” reacted the Bulwark’s Andrew Egger, while conspiracy theory expert Mike Rothschild asked, “A new world order, huh? Wasn’t Trump supposed to be the guy who shattered the new world order and spread it to the four winds?” Watch Hassett make the comments below: FOX BUSINESS: What can we anticipate from Trump’s Davos speech? HASSETT: There’s gonna be some look at the new world order that President Trump is creating pic.twitter.com/vD7xdyyz7y — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 15, 2026 Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney also made some bizarre comments similar to Hasset’s during his latest visit to Beijing. Carney was in Beijing to announce a new partnership with Canada and China. However, while commenting on the new partnership, the Canadian Prime Minister stated that the partnership with China will usher in the “New World Order.” The Independent reported more on Carney’s bizarre comments: A new strategic partnership between China and Canada could set both nations up for the “new world order”, Canadian prime minister Mark Carney said during a historic trip to Beijing for trade talks. Mr Carney arrived in Beijing on Wednesday night for a four-day visit designed to repair ties between the two nations as Canada hopes to firm up relations with countries other than the US. It’s the first visit by a Canadian leader to China in nearly a decade. “The world has changed much since that last visit. I believe the progress that we have made in the partnership sets us up well for the new world order,” Mr Carney said. He told Chinese president Xi Jinping: “We’ll deliver stability, security and prosperity for people on both sides. “It is important to start this new strategic partnership at a time of division,” Mr Carney told Mr Xi, calling for focus on areas that can bring “historic gains” for both, such as agriculture, agri-food, energy, and finance. President Xi hailed a “turnaround of ties” between both nations, which he said was achieved since he met Mr Carney at the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in South Korea late last year. Mr Xi said he was also “pleased” with the months of cooperation between the two countries across various fields. “The healthy and stable development of China-Canada relations is conducive to world peace, stability, development, and prosperity,” Mr Xi told the visiting prime minister.
