Donald Trump's Arctic Of A Deal

Zohran Mamdani's Friends at a Muslim Youth Center Selling Terrorist Trinkets and Propaganda

The performances were hammy, and the goblins incredibly irritating.

And yes, with the right conditions, your footprints could fossilize too.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert welcomed actress Jane Fonda to Wednesday’s taping of The Late Show to do what one does on that show: go after President Trump and ICE in the most hysterical way possible. Fonda would rile up the audience by declaring, “They’re shooting people,” while Colbert would discover that maybe the Soviet Union wasn’t so great and compare Trump to the former communist country. Before Fonda joined, Colbert declared in his monologue that “This weekend, temperatures in Minneapolis are expected to plunge to around zero degrees, which could hinder the Trump administration's continuing immigration crackdown… I mean this with respect: I hope their dongs freeze and snap off. Like a graham cracker.”   Given the cold weather, Stephen Colbert claims "I mean this with respect: I hope their [ICE] dongs freeze and snap off. Like a graham cracker. Later, Jane Fonda wails "They are kidnapping people. They are illegally deporting American citizens...they shot Ms. Good, they’re… pic.twitter.com/H2i8pGeBEU — Alex Christy (@alexchristy17) January 22, 2026   Later, Colbert wondered to Fonda, “Okay, so, that's a lovely idea. The Committee for the First Amendment. For people who are not in the entertainment industry who don't use their voices in this particular way, what should people do? What are other ways for people to fight for their First Amendment rights? Because all rights, if they can be taken away, are not rights. They were privileges that were just given by a government that doesn't get its power from the consent of the governed. That's not –” Fonda interrupted and espoused the usual liberal idea that democracy is when liberals win, “We pay their salaries. We should be in charge. If the government is not meeting the needs of its people, there's something wrong, right?” She then rattled off several claims that should have warranted a fact-check, “This isn't like it was in the 40s and 50s. This is—authoritarianism has made its way into every single nook and cranny of our government. They are kidnapping people. They are illegally deporting American citizens.” After Colbert added, “Going into American citizens’ homes without a warrant,” Fonda continued, “Minneapolis, where they shot Ms. Good, they’re shooting people. They are blinding people. All kinds of really, really bad things are happening, and it's not a question of right or left. I don't care what party you belong to. It's a question of right or wrong. Right?” There have been some instances where non-citizens who have been deported have chosen to take their citizen children with them, but it is not as if ICE is rounding up American citizens and deporting them to unknown lands. And of course, “they’re shooting people” and “blinding people” is a gross oversimplification of what happened with Good and the response to that shooting. As for Colbert's warrant claim, it must be noted that DHS was referring to judicial warrants. They still need an administrative warrant to enter someone's home if that person has been issued deportation orders. Hanoi Jane then claimed that this isn’t what people have fought and died for, “We are the land of the brave. Our loved ones fought, and many died for these freedoms. We can't allow them to be taken away from us because if we let them go they won't be there later when we need them back. So, this is what we have to do, we have to not be alone. We have to work with other people in solidarity. We have to build community.” During the interview’s second segment, Colbert asserted, “It’s for everyone, as well. Okay. Here’s the thing: there’s a creeping-ness to authoritarianism that people think, “Well, that can't possibly happen here. That can't possibly happen to me” and therefore they take their rights for granted. You've been all over the world. You've been places where the First Amendment right—”   Later, Hanoi Jane warns "I spent months in the Soviet Union when it was the Soviet Union. I actually made a movie there...You try to look at television, it's so boring. Everything is gray. Nobody can express themselves fully. I saw them bulldozing an impressionistic art exhibit… pic.twitter.com/MxUAyCjFwS — Alex Christy (@alexchristy17) January 22, 2026   Fonda recalled, “I spent months in the Soviet Union when it was the Soviet Union. I actually made a movie there: me and Elizabeth Taylor and Ava Gardner, nobody saw it. It was a terrible movie. But we spent a long time there. You do not want to live in that kind of community. You don't want to live in that kind of state-run society. You try to look at television, it's so boring. Everything is gray. Nobody can express themselves fully. I saw them bulldozing an impressionistic art exhibit because they didn't allow impressionism. They determined what art we're going to see, what shows we're going to see. I mean, you know—” A sarcastic Colbert then quipped, “It would be like our president taking over, like, the Kennedy Center. That would be crazy. That would be crazy.” No, it would not be like that at all because despite all the freak-outs from people like Fonda, she can still go on The Late Show and promote her new movie without Trump’s approval. Here is a transcript for the January 21 show: CBS The Late Show with Stephen Colbert 1/21/2026 11:37 PM ET STEPHEN COLBERT: This weekend, temperatures in Minneapolis are expected to plunge to around zero degrees, which could hinder the Trump administration's continuing immigration crackdown. I get it. I get it. I understand the feeling. I understand the feeling, everybody. I understand those ICE agents are doing terrible things up there, but they are human beings, so hopefully, and I mean this with respect. No, come on, we can’t be like that. I mean this with respect: I hope their dongs freeze and snap off. Like a graham cracker. … COLBERT: Okay, so, that's a lovely idea. The Committee for the First Amendment. For people who are not in the entertainment industry who don't use their voices in this particular way, what should people do? What are other ways for people to fight for their First Amendment rights? Because all rights, if they can be taken away, are not rights. They were privileges that were just given by a government that doesn't get its power from the consent of the governed. That's not – JANE FONDA: We pay their salaries. COLBERT: Yes. FONDA: We should be in charge. If the government is not meeting the needs of its people, there's something wrong, right? COLBERT: Right. FONDA: This—we're seeing things happen that have never happened before. This isn't like it was in the 40s and 50s. This is—authoritarianism has made its way into every single nook and cranny of our government. They are kidnapping people. They are illegally deporting American citizens. COLBERT: Going into American citizens’ homes without a warrant. FONDA: Minneapolis, where they shot Ms. Good, they’re shooting people. They are blinding people. All kinds of really, really bad things are happening, and it's not a question of right or left. I don't care what party you belong to. It's a question of right or wrong. Right? And I think lines are being crossed. And it's enough. We've had enough. Right? We are the land of the brave. Our loved ones fought, and many died for these freedoms. We can't allow them to be taken away from us because if we let them go they won't be there later when we need them back. So, this is what we have to do, we have to not be alone. We have to work with other people in solidarity. We have to build community. Indivisible is a wonderful organization and it has chapters all over the country. So join indivisible. You have churches. You have churches. You have garden clubs. Whatever groups that you are part of, help them get organized. Help them learn and advance what to do when they come for you. And they will, believe me. Unless we stop this. … COLBERT: One of the things you said just now was that while minority communities have actually known oppression in many ways that those of us in the white community don't understand, this is for everybody in the United States now. FONDA: Yes. COLBERT: People are, sort of, being shocked. Even people who supported the president are being shocked, “Wait a second, I thought it was for other people, not me.” FONDA: Oh, this is hurting people who voted for President Trump. COLBERT: It’s for everyone, as well. Okay. Here’s the thing: there’s a creeping-ness to authoritarianism that people think, “Well, that can't possibly happen here. That can't possibly happen to me” and therefore they take their rights for granted. You've been all over the world. You've been places where the First Amendment right— FONDA: That's why I am fighting so hard. COLBERT: Okay, so where have you been— FONDA: I spent months in the Soviet Union when it was the Soviet Union. I actually made a movie there: me and Elizabeth Taylor and Ava Gardner, nobody saw it. It was a terrible movie. But we spent a long time there. You do not want to live in that kind of community. You don't want to live in that kind of state-run society. You try to look at television, it's so boring. Everything is gray. Nobody can express themselves fully. I saw them bulldozing an impressionistic art exhibit because they didn't allow impressionism. They determined what art we're going to see, what shows we're going to see. I mean, you know— COLBERT: It would be like our president taking over, like, the Kennedy Center. That would be crazy. That would be crazy.

Democrats, ever desperate for one-party control, filed a lawsuit in October claiming that New York City's only Republican-held congressional district was unconstitutionally drawn because it allegedly "dilutes black and Latino voting strength."The Staten Island plaintiffs, represented by the Washington, D.C.-based Elias Law Group, demanded that the map — which was approved by the Democrat-controlled state legislature and Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) in 2024 — be redrawn such that it'd be virtually impossible for Republican Rep. Nicole Malliotakis to defend her district.'This entire exercise is a cynical attempt to enact an illegal partisan gerrymander under the guise of a voting rights case.'Jeffrey Pearlman, a justice on the New York Supreme Court who was not only appointed by Hochul but previously served as her lawyer and chief of staff, delivered the plaintiffs a win on Wednesday, claiming that the configuration of New York State's 11th congressional district is unconstitutional."It is clear to the Court that the current district lines of CD-11 are a contributing factor in the lack of representation for minority voters," wrote Hochul's former chief of staff.While the Democratic plaintiffs proposed new gerrymandered district lines for the Hochul judge to adopt, he noted that the New York state Constitution leaves it to the legislature to correct the law's legal infirmities in the event that a congressional map is invalidated by a court.RELATED: Christians win BIG: New York caves on forcing nuns and churches to fund abortion after knockout SCOTUS ruling Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.). Photo by Drew Angerer/Getty Images.Accordingly he ordered the New York Independent Redistricting Commission to draw a new map by Feb. 6.Days ahead of the ruling, Malliotakis told "The Point with Marcia Kramer" that the Democratic campaign to redraw the map was "ludicrous" and "an insult to the people of Staten Island and Southern Brooklyn, who had a Democrat, by the way, Max Rose, who represented them, and they fired this individual.""So they had a choice here between a Republican and a Democrat, and they decided they didn't want the Democrat representing them anymore," continued Malliotakis. "And here comes this Washington firm saying they don't care about the will of the voter. They're going to set it up so a Republican can never win and it'll always be one-party rule."Aria Branch, a partner at the D.C.-based Elias Law Group, claimed that the decision was "a victory for every voter in New York’s 11th Congressional District who has been denied an equal voice."Hochul also lauded her former underling's decision."The New York State Constitution guarantees the principles of fair representation, and New Yorkers in every community deserve these protections," stated Hochul. "The court's decision underscores the importance of these constitutional principles and directs the congressional map be redrawn by the New York Independent Redistricting Commission so impacted communities are fully represented and have a voice in our democracy."House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.) characterized the apparent effort to disenfranchise Republican voters in New York City as "the first step towards ensuring communities of interest remain intact from Staten Island to Lower Manhattan."Rep. Mike Lawler (R) rejected Jeffries' framing, suggesting the Hochul judge's order amounted to an "absurd fraud" perpetrated against those "New Yorkers who demanded independent redistricting and overwhelmingly rejected partisan gerrymandering."Ed Cox, chairman of the New York Republican Party, similarly condemned the ruling."This was a partisan ruling made by a partisan judge in a case brought by a notoriously partisan attorney," stated Cox. "Kathy Hochul and Albany Democrats did not alter this district when they had a chance in 2024. This entire exercise is a cynical attempt to enact an illegal partisan gerrymander under the guise of a voting rights case."The district Hochul's former underling deemed unconstitutional has been represented by Malliotakis since 2021, when she beat her Democratic opponent in a landslide, 63.8% to 35.8%.Like Blaze News?

Rep. John James, a Michigan Republican running for governor, has launched a new ad tying the fate of Trump's second term and the America First agenda to James' home state of Michigan.On Thursday, James released an ad titled "Impeached," claiming that Michigan, with its open U.S. Senate seat and four competitive House races, is "ground zero" in the fight to keep Congress under Republican control.Recent polling indicates that James holds a commanding lead in the Republican primary and a slight edge in the general election in November.The ad suggests that if Congress falls into the hands of the Democrats after the 2026 midterms, Trump will be "impeached" and his "Cabinet dragged before hearings led by AOC and Rashida Tlaib," referring to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Rep. Tlaib (D-Mich.).In the ad, James, currently a Michigan congressman who has "backed President Trump every time," makes the pitch to MAGA Michiganders that his election to be their next governor is vital to protecting Trump and his ability to continue implementing his policies: "If you care about President Trump, you must stand up for John James."RELATED: Gov. candidate John James hammers Michigan GOP over political failures: 'What are we even talking about?' In a press release given to Blaze News, James' spokeswoman Hannah Osantowske stated: "This ad makes the stakes unmistakable. If Republicans lose Michigan, Democrats will move to impeach President Trump and grind the America First agenda to a halt. John James is the conservative fighter who can win — and who Michigan families can trust to hold the line."As of Thursday morning, Trump has made no endorsement in the Michigan gubernatorial Republican primary, though he previously endorsed James' Senate and congressional campaigns and even referred to the Iraq War Army aviation officer as "legendary."Osantowske told Blaze News that James is "committed to earning" Trump's endorsement once again. "John James is a proven winner. President Trump likes winners, and he remembers those who’ve been loyal," she added.Recent polling indicates that James holds a commanding lead in the Republican primary and a slight edge in a hypothetical three-way matchup against Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and Democrat-leaning independent Mike Duggan in the general election in November.The RealClearPolitics average currently has James ahead by 3.5 points.Like Blaze News?

Google once had an informal motto: “Don’t be evil.” How about be ideologically driven? Opaque? Arbitrary?Google sells itself as online Switzerland — a neutral search engine that doesn’t tilt one way or the other. That neutrality vanishes fast when you search for something its algorithm doesn’t like. Suddenly the thing you want becomes strangely hard to find unless you already know exactly where it lives. If you don’t, good luck.You can’t fix what you’re not allowed to understand.And good luck advertising it, too — if Google disapproves.Most people still think of Google as a search engine. That’s outdated. Google is the 900-pound gorilla of online advertising through Google Ads. It has vacuumed up so much of the market that anyone who wants to advertise online usually has to go through Google’s pipeline, under Google’s terms, with Google acting as judge and jury.This isn’t the print era, when advertisers bought space from newspapers and magazines directly, publication by publication. Today, a huge share of the ad economy runs through a single gatekeeper.Some might call that a monopoly. Monopolies become even more dangerous when they turn ideological.Google — and it is far from alone — leans hard left. It dislikes conservative and Christian content, and it has learned how to suppress it without leaving fingerprints. It buries the content in search rankings so that almost no one sees it unless they already know where to look. It throttles monetization. It blocks ads with vague warnings and “policy” language designed to end the conversation.Google and TikTok now appear to be doing the same thing to faith-based content.Have you heard of TruPlay? Probably not. That’s the point.TruPlay is an entertainment app that offers faith-based games and videos for kids. It’s explicitly family-friendly — no sexual themes, no violence, no garbage disguised as “content.” Parents want that. Millions of them. There’s a market for wholesome screen time, and there’s money to be made providing it.But according to the American Center for Law and Justice, Google has refused to do business with TruPlay for ideological reasons. The ACLJ says Google rejected TruPlay’s efforts to launch advertising campaigns, citing “religious belief in personalized advertising.”Read that again. Google flagged religious belief as the problem.The ACLJ says TruPlay tried to comply, filing appeals and revising its ad content repeatedly, only to receive the same rejection notices no matter what changes it made. The ads weren’t inflammatory. They were straightforward: “Turn Game Time into God Time,” “Christian Games for Kids,” “Safe Bible Games for Kids.”Google’s policy supposedly prohibits “selecting an audience based on sensitive information, such as health information or religious beliefs.” But TruPlay wasn’t targeting a religious audience or harvesting private data. It was advertising Christian kids’ content to the general public.Google’s response wasn’t “you’re targeting.” It was “your content is too sensitive to advertise.”That’s the move. “Sensitive” once meant porn, violence, or content not suitable for children. Now it means “Christian games for kids.”TikTok, the ACLJ says, applied the same logic with even less transparency. The platform allegedly suspended TruPlay’s advertising account over unspecified “repeated violations,” without explaining what those violations were. The ACLJ says one rejected ad contained the word “church.” Another issue allegedly involved an App Store preview image showing Jesus on the cross — not in the ad itself, but in the app’s images. The ACLJ claims TikTok barred advertising anyway.RELATED: Google’s new plan: To learn everything about you from your online shopping Photo by Idrees MOHAMMED/AFP via Getty ImagesYou can’t fix what you’re not allowed to understand. That’s the point of opacity. You don’t get a rule you can follow. You get a verdict.What makes this even more revealing is the economic angle. This isn’t Google or TikTok avoiding ads that risk scaring off customers. TruPlay offers the kind of content parents actively want. Platforms should want that money. Instead, they appear willing to lose revenue just to suppress anything overtly Christian and family-friendly.The ACLJ has sent a letter to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, urging an investigation into what it calls “systemic discrimination” against Christian content creators and advertisers — part of a broader pattern of viewpoint-based censorship.Google and TikTok will respond with the standard defense: We’re private companies. We can do what we want.Fine. But stop pretending you’re Switzerland. If you present yourself as a neutral platform open to all, while quietly functioning as a political gatekeeper, you don’t get to hide behind the language of neutrality when people notice the double standard.You can’t have it both ways. Either you’re Switzerland — or you’re not.Google and TikTok are not. It’s time to treat them accordingly.

It’s been less than a week since Democrat Abigail Spanberger was sworn in as Virginia’s governor, and already her unhinged liberal policies are poisoning the state, says BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales.“She's a deranged, liberal, white woman, so she's handling it about how you would expect,” she sneers. As one of her first actions after being sworn in, Spanberger signed an executive order rescinding her predecessor Glenn Youngkin's directive that required state law enforcement, including Virginia State Police and corrections, to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement on immigration enforcement.“I've explained this to you multiple times,” says Sara. “They want the criminals.”“You had Glenn Youngkin. You could have actually made some progress to not be a total hellhole, and instead, they were like, ‘Nope, nope, nope — we want the law-abiding Americans to not feel safe."’On top of that, just days before Spanberger’s swearing-in, Democratic delegates rushed in bills that critics argue will fuel crime and anti-white racism in Virginia.For example, Delegate Alfonso Lopez (D) introduced a bill (HB912) that will “guarantee illegal alien children free education in Virginia.”“Come on over. It's all free,” retorts Sara.Delegate Sam Rasoul (D) introduced a bill (HB1070) that aims to “prohibit the state from mentioning an accused criminal's prior conviction to the jury during the guilt phase of the trial.”“They won't hold it against them that they've just gone on to commit crime after crime after crime after crime” scoffs Sara.“But wait, there’s more.”Delegate Rae Cousins (D) introduced a bill (HB863) that removes mandatory minimum prison sentences for many crimes, including rape, manslaughter, assaulting a police officer, possession and distribution of child pornography, and repeat violent felonies.“You guys think that I'm being hyperbolic. I'm not,” Sara insists. “They want the crime and the criminals to thrive in the state of Virginia.”But perhaps the worst bill came from Delegate Jeion A. Ward (D), who introduced a bill (HB61) that proposes giving state contracts under $100,000 almost exclusively to businesses owned by women, minorities, or veterans — effectively shutting out white men unless no one else qualifies — and even then allows the state to award the contract to a preferred business if their bid is up to 5% higher than a white male-owned bid.“Guys, the DOJ needs to sue them like yesterday. ... That is blatant discrimination,” says Sara.“By the way, if you live in Virginia, get the hell out. [Spanberger] is raising taxes on basically everything from retail delivery — so like Amazon, Uber Eats, FedEx, UPS, guns and ammo, you name it.”Virginia, she says, “had something good,” and then it elected a “crazy, liberal, white [woman],” and now “just like that,” it’s been “run into the ground.”To hear more of Sara’s commentary, watch the full episode above.Want more from Sara Gonzales?To enjoy more of Sara's no-holds-barred takes on news and culture, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
