Powell Accuses Trump Administration of Political Intimidation as Justice Department Probes Fed Chair

U.S. prosecutors have served the Federal Reserve with grand jury subpoenas, Fed chairman Jerome Powell said in a video statement on Sunday night.

The Fed received the subpoenas from the Justice Department on Friday, Powell said. He said federal prosecutors are threatening a criminal indictment relating to Powell’s testimony before the Senate Banking Committee last June. That testimony concerned in part the Fed’s renovation of the central bank’s offices in Washington, D.C.

Powell claimed, without evidence, that the inquiries into the renovations and his congressional testimony were merely “pretexts” for political interference in monetary policy. The threat of criminal charges, Powell claimed, was the result of the Fed refusing to follow the “preferences of the president” when setting interest rates.

“This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation,” Powell said.

President Donald Trump denied having any knowledge of the investigation, according to NBC News.

“I don’t know anything about it, but he’s certainly not very good at the Fed, and he’s not very good at building buildings,” Trump told NBC News Sunday night. (Read more from “Powell Accuses Trump Administration of Political Intimidation as Justice Department Probes Fed Chair” HERE)

Americans Urged to Leave Venezuela as Paramilitaries Hunt US Citizens, Officials Warn

US citizens are being called to leave Venezuela immediately over reports that armed paramilitaries are setting up roadblocks to hunt down American citizens following the capture of former President Nicolas Maduro.

The State Department sent out a security alert from the US Embassy in Caracas on Saturday, warning Americans to quickly take flights out of the country to escape an ongoing hunt for US citizens or their allies inside Venezuela.

“There are reports of groups of armed militias, known as colectivos, setting up roadblocks and searching vehicles for evidence of US citizenship or support for the United States,” the State Department warned.

“US citizens in Venezuela should remain vigilant and exercise caution when traveling by road.”

Local reporters and activists have documented incidents where rifle-carrying militias have set up checkpoints around Caracas to inspect vehicles entering and leaving the capital.

Sources inside Venezuela confirmed the situation with The Post last week, alleging that the colectivos stopped drivers to check their phones and cars. (Read more from “Americans Urged to Leave Venezuela as Paramilitaries Hunt US Citizens, Officials Warn” HERE)

Trump: ‘We Are Going to Do Something on Greenland Whether They Like It or Not’

President Donald Trump said Friday his administration will take action on Greenland “whether they like it or not,” further escalating his rhetoric as he pushes to acquire the Danish territory for the U.S.

“I would like to make a deal, you know, the easy way. But if we don’t do it the easy way, we’re going to do it the hard way,” Trump told reporters at the White House.

The comments came during a meeting with oil executives to discuss the prospect of doing business in Venezuela. Less than a week earlier, the U.S. military invaded the oil-rich South American nation and captured its leader, Nicolás Maduro.

Trump has long sought to take over Greenland, primarily citing the Arctic island’s importance for U.S. national security.

Denmark and its European allies in NATO – the military alliance co-founded by the U.S. – have pushed back, reiterating that Greenland is not for sale. But the Trump administration nevertheless says it is currently weighing a range of options on Greenland, including utilizing the U.S. military or cutting a deal to purchase it from Denmark.

Journal Posting Peer-Reviewed Study Proving COVID Vax Caused Explosion of Cancer Rates Internationally Shutdown with Cyberattacks

For several years now, clinicians, pathologists, and independent researchers have been documenting turbo cancers following COVID-19 vaccination: sudden relapses, explosive disease acceleration, rare malignancies appearing out of nowhere, and tumors localizing to injection sites or draining lymph nodes. These signals have been visible for some time — but deliberately fragmented, dismissed as coincidence, or buried under claims that “case reports don’t count.”

That excuse has now completely collapsed.

A newly published peer-reviewed systematic review in Oncotarget — authored by Charlotte Kuperwasser, PhD, and Wafik S. El-Deiry, MD, PhD — is the first to formally assemble and analyze the entire published literature on cancer temporally associated with COVID-19 vaccination and SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Importantly, while this article has been accepted, published, and assigned a publication date, the journal has disclosed that it is currently unable to add the paper to its live journal index due to an ongoing malicious cyberattack on its servers. According to a statement now posted on Oncotarget’s website — and relayed directly to us by Dr. El-Deiry — the journal experienced sustained cyber intrusions in December 2025 and January 2026, which were reported to the FBI, with attacks continuing into the present. In the meantime, Dr. El-Deiry has provided a link to access this important paper. You can read it here.

The journal further states that it is investigating whether individuals associated with PubPeer (PubSmear Mob) may have engaged in or facilitated cybercriminal activity, including server hacking, taking journal websites offline, and manipulating Google search results to suppress journals and scientists. Oncotarget reports that it is currently in contact with federal law-enforcement agencies regarding identified suspects.

WHOOPS: Leftists Stage Massive Anti-ICE Protest Outside of the Wrong Hotel

As the protests in Minneapolis against Border Patrol and ICE agents conducting operations have continued to escalate, demonstrators just wasted hours making a massive error.

Protesters began playing loud music, screamed, and blocked the road outside of a hotel that they believed federal law enforcement were staying in. The video showed hundreds of protesters gathered outside the hotel to prevent the agents from sleeping overnight.

The only problem? The protesters were at the wrong hotel.

Upon learning they were in the wrong location, the crowd decided to march through downtown to find the hotel where the agents were staying. Protesters began launching fireworks into the air as they marched, blocking traffic and continuing their noise-making antics as they passed what appeared to be residential apartment buildings. . .

Once the crowd reached the second hotel, they began banging on the windows while chanting “f*** ICE.” Further video showed protesters shining lights into the hotel rooms of the hotel.

Trump Admin to Carry Out Preliminary Attack Plans on Iran — As Officials Consider What Sites to Target: Report

The Trump administration is reportedly preparing preliminary plans for an attack on Iran, including the option of large-scale airstrikes.

Officials are considering how to follow through on President Trump’s recent elevated threats against the Islamic Republic, including what sites might be targeted, insiders told the Wall Street Journal.

A massive aerial strike campaign on multiple Iranian military targets is one option being considered — although Washington has not reached consensus on a plan of action.

No military equipment or personnel have been moved for a potential attack, the insiders said.

The conversations do not indicate that the US will strike, with the sources explaining that the planning is routine.

Trump, however, teased that the US was gearing up to retaliate should Tehran continue killing protesters in a post on Truth Social. (Read more from “Trump Admin to Carry Out Preliminary Attack Plans on Iran — As Officials Consider What Sites to Target: Report” HERE)

Trump Puts Political Hit On 5 Republican Senators Who Defied Him — One Isn’t Like The Others

President Donald Trump called for a group of Republicans to lose their reelection bids Thursday after they voted to check his authority to use military force on Venezuela.

Frequent Trump critics — Republicans Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky, Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska — were among the group of five Republicans who Trump excoriated for voting to block future military action absent congressional approval. Republican Indiana Sen. Todd Young, who did not back Trump in 2024, also supported the measure. Trump also notably lashed out at Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley, a close populist ally who stunningly broke with the president during Thursday’s vote.

“This Vote greatly hampers American Self Defense and National Security, impeding the President’s Authority as Commander in Chief,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding that the five dissenting Republicans should be “ashamed” of their votes and “should never be elected to office again.” . . .

Hawley, a leading populist in the Senate who frequently breaks with traditional Republican orthodoxy on economic issues, said his vote in support of the war powers resolution should not be interpreted as a rebuke of the president.

The Missouri Republican said he voted to check the president’s authority over concerns Trump could send troops to Venezuela. He previously told the Daily Caller News Foundation in November that he opposed U.S. government-backed regime change and feared getting drawn into a costly foreign war.

“With regard to Venezuela, my read of the Constitution is that if the President feels the need to put boots on the ground there in the future, Congress would need to vote on it,” Hawley wrote on X following the vote.

The lawmaker told reporters that he had no reaction to the president calling for an end to his political career. (Read more from “Trump Puts Political Hit On 5 Republican Senators Who Defied Him — One Isn’t Like The Others” HERE)

Top Democrats Are Agitating For Insurrection And Political Vigilantism

Forget January 6. It turns out January 7 might go down as the date when insurrection really arrived in America — not from the MAGA right, but from the anti-Trump left.

In the aftermath of the fatal shooting Wednesday in Minneapolis of a woman who appears to have tried to ram an ICE agent with her vehicle, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced at a press conference that he had issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard to mobilize to “protect Minnesotans” from “rogue ICE agents.”

When asked if the National Guard would be deployed against federal agents, or if anything like that has ever happened before, Walz said, “We’ve never been at war with our federal government,” and at one point told Minnesotans, “do not allow them to deploy federal troops here.”

It’s an almost unbelievable series of statements from a sitting governor. If taken at face value, it amounts to a threat to use the Minnesota National Guard for an anti-federal insurrection — something that has never quite happened in American history (the late 1850s armed conflict between the Mormons and the U.S. Army comes to mind, but Utah was a territory at the time, not a state). If Walz actually follows through with that threat, it will be an open act of sedition.

In that case, the moderate response would be to immediately arrest Walz, federalize the Minnesota National Guard, and declare martial law. Is Walz radical and clueless enough to actually do this? He was willing to let Minneapolis burn in the 2020 BLM riots before he activated the National Guard to restore order, so who knows.

Democrats: No One Would Get Shot If We Just Let Them Attack Law Enforcement

We’re back to pretending there’s a debate to be had over whether someone recklessly disobeying law enforcement was justified in getting whacked. Per usual, Democrats and the dying news media are insisting it’s a civil right on par with free speech to not only interfere with arrests but to endanger the lives of government officials and innocent pedestrians in the process.

Minneapolis this week saw the deadly shooting of a 37-year-old woman who used her two-ton SUV to block a street patrolled by police and immigration enforcement agents. Several videos from different angles all show the same thing.

While officials are posted up in their vehicles, pedestrians are blowing whistles and yelling in protest. Renee Nicole Good, the now-deceased woman, has her Honda Pilot parked longways in the center of the street, obstructing traffic. When three officers approach Good and command her to exit the vehicle, she puts her car into reverse before shifting forward and flooring the gas pedal, apparently striking one of the agents on his left side. That officer had his weapon drawn for her to see, and when she failed to brake, he fired multiple rounds. The SUV then slams high-speed into another parked car on the road’s left shoulder.

An investigation is pending, and in the meantime, Democrat leaders and their supporters in the dying media are faulting law enforcement. “This was clearly not with any sort of intention to run somebody over but to get out of there,” Democrat Minneapolis Mayor and Somali whisperer Jacob Frey said Wednesday on CNN. “And you don’t need a legal degree to know that that does not authorize the use of deadly force.”

The Washington Post on Thursday ran headlines like “ICE agent was not in the vehicle’s path when he fired at driver, video shows”; “Minneapolis protests remain peaceful after ICE officer fatally shoots woman”; and “Woman killed was a mother of 3 and a poet.” (She may have also been a fan of sunny days and warm blankets, there’s no telling.)

Renee Nicole Good Was Minneapolis ‘ICE Watch’ ‘Warrior’ Who Trained to Resist Feds Before Shooting

Renee Nicole Good, the mom who was killed by a federal agent after veering her car toward him, was an anti-ICE “warrior” and was part of a group of activists who worked to “document and resist” the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota, The Post can reveal.

Good, who moved to the city last year, linked up with the anti-ICE activists through her 6-year-old son’s woke charter school, which boasts that it puts “social justice first” and prioritizes “involving kids in political and social activism,” multiple local sources said.

“She was a warrior. She died doing what was right,” a mother named Leesa, whose child attends the same school, told The Post at a growing vigil where Good was killed Wednesday.

“I know she was doing the right thing. I watched the video plenty of times but I also know in my heart the woman she was, she was doing everything right.”

Good and her wife Rebecca, 40, were raising the boy together in the mostly working-class, activist-heavy neighborhood of south Minneapolis, which features tree-lined streets and a large number of homes with windows decked out in LGBTQ+ flags or signs depicting George Floyd.
