January 16, 2026 - Michael Cohen says he was ‘coerced’ and ‘pressured’ by Bragg, James to testify against Trump
After years of criticizing Donald Trump, the president’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, is admitting that he was “pressured” and “coerced” by Alvin Bragg and Letitia James to testify against Donald Trump.
In an astonishing Substack post published Friday evening, Cohen writes that he “felt pressured and coerced to only provide information and testimony that would satisfy the government’s desire to build the cases against and secure a judgment and convictions against President Trump.” He said the feeling began from his very first meetings with the lawyers working with Bragg and James, New York’s attorney general.
Specifically regarding James, he said he felt “compelled and coerced to deliver what they were seeking.”
“Letitia James made it publicly known during her 2018 campaign for attorney general that, if elected, she would go after President Trump,” Cohen writes in the post. “Her office made clear that the testimony they wanted from me was testimony that would help them do just that. Again, I felt compelled and coerced to deliver what they were seeking.”
In a Friday night phone conversation, Donald Trump told The Daily Wire that this was further proof that it was a “very corrupt investigation” that Cohen testified in. Trump has long held that Cohen is a liar, and was only cooperating to get his prison sentence reduced. (Read more: The Daily Wire, 1/16/2026) (Archive)

January 17, 2026 - ‘Manchurian Generation’ ballot flood: More than 1 million Chinese with U.S. Citizenship could vote in 2030 elections
More than one million Chinese with U.S. citizenship who grew up in communist China will soon start voting in American elections, #1 New York Times bestselling investigative journalist and Breitbart News Senior Contributor Peter Schweizer reveals in his new book, The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon.
In his explosive new book, Schweizer details how Chinese elites have exploited America’s birthright citizenship policies by engaging in a practice known as birth tourism, whereby Chinese mothers intentionally travel to the United States give birth on American soil so that their newborn children will automatically be granted U.S. citizenship.
One of birth tourism’s biggest appeals is the chain migration that it triggers. “When such children turn twenty-one, they can also apply for resident status for both of their parents,” Schweizer explains. To demonstrate the extent of the practice, he uses the U.S. territory of Saipan in the Pacific as an example, writing that “[m]ore than 70 percent of the newborns in Saipan are PRC birth tourist parents who utilize the territory’s forty-five-day visa-free visitation rules and the ‘Covenant of the Northern Mariana Islands’ to guarantee that their children will have American citizenship.”
Because the U.S. federal government does not directly track birth tourism, no one knows the true extent of the practice, Schweizer writes:
Chinese officials estimate that the number is a staggering fifty thousand of their own citizens per year. Scholars who have studied the subject in depth, like Australian-based professor Salvator Babones, put the figure even higher, perhaps twice that. “With up to 100,000 Chinese babies being born US citizens every year,” he writes, “birth tourism may result in millions of new elite Chinese-Americans.”
Some researchers place the number higher still. Media Research, a Chinese data analysis company, says that in 2018 alone 150,000 people came from China to the United States to practice birth tourism.
According to Schweizer, the practice of Chinese birth tourism in the United States has flourished in the past 15 years, with “at least 750,000 and possibly as many as 1.5 million Chinese, who are also American citizens by virtue of being born here, now growing toward adulthood in China.” (Read more: Breitbart, 1/17/2026) (Archive)
January 17, 2026 - Highlights of Democrat leaders supporting border control and deportation of illegal aliens, before they didn't
Obama frequently emphasized the need for stronger border security, employer accountability for hiring undocumented workers, and comprehensive immigration reform that included controlling illegal crossings. Here are key video examples:
In his 2014 address to the nation on fixing the broken immigration system, Obama stated that he began by securing borders and committed to better enforcement, noting illegal crossings had been cut.
During a 2005 news conference clip, Obama advocated for holding employers accountable for hiring undocumented workers and supported strong borders, aligning with similar arguments later made by Trump.
In a 2014 speech at Del Sol High School, Obama reiterated his belief in secure borders and efforts to reduce illegal crossings over his term.
Speaking on comprehensive immigration reform in 2010, Obama called for fixing the broken system, starting with border security to prevent uncontrolled inflows.
Additional examples from X posts include archived clips:
Obama warning that undocumented immigrants harm the economy, take jobs, and that employers should face penalties, while calling for stronger border security as a top priority. Video in post:

Other Democratic Officials Supporting Border Control
Many Democratic leaders, including Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer, and others, have historically supported tougher border measures, deportations, and barriers—positions they’ve since shifted away from. Here are video compilations and examples highlighting this:

January 19, 2026 - Harmeet Dhillon: DOJ to charge Don Lemon under the ‘KKK Act’ for inciting church raid (VIDEO)
Harmeet Dhillon, the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the Department of Justice, has announced that they plan to charge disgraced former CNN anchor Don Lemon under the Ku Klux Klan Act, a Reconstruction-era law enacted to combat terrorist activities by groups like the KKK.

The impending charges stem from Lemon’s involvement when a group of anti-ICE activists stormed a church in Minneapolis, disrupting a religious service and intimidating worshippers, on Sunday.
The Ku Klux Klan Act, formally known as the Enforcement Act of 1871, prohibits conspiracies to threaten, injure, or intimidate individuals to prevent them from exercising their constitutional rights, including the free exercise of religion.
According to reports, Lemon not only accompanied the protesters but had prior knowledge of their plans to target the church, which was hosting a service at the time.
Some have even alleged that he was the one who incited the protesters to target the church.
Before the incident, Lemon is seen in his team’s own footage discussing the “secret operation” with activists, confirming they had the church’s address, and even instructing his staff not to reveal the location.
Don Lemon had foreknowledge of the church invasion protest that left kids in tears. He must be investigated over when he knew this and if he planned this in any way with the group.

And what they’ve basically decided is we’re going to work together to destroy the United States. We’ll split up the spoils later on.

What has been ignored and overlooked in the Somalian Minnesota fraud cases is the root and origin of the crimes that led to what we are seeing today.
It all began during the first Obama presidency, when a much larger fraud and corruption scandal emerged involving USAID and the State Department. Billions of dollars were knowingly poured into a lost cause, driven by domestic political considerations rather than measurable outcomes.
This essentially defrauded every taxpayer in America—not just in Minnesota, but on a national scale.

Attorney General Keith Ellison, for the past 16 years, has been the key to Somalian political “success” and integration into the Democrat political system.
This began with the election of the first Somalian elected to public office in the United States—Hussein Samatar to the Minneapolis School Board, District 3, in 2010, followed by Ellison putting his political machine behind Ilhan Omar’s campaign for the Minnesota state house and then vacating his congressional seat for state representative Ilhan Omar. It was Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison fingerprints on all these events

January 20, 2026 - Republicans caught Smurfing through WinRed
US Senator Susan Collins and her Treasurer Elizabeth T. McCandless caught Smurfing $4,428,495.00 into her campaign committee. This is criminal money laundering.
One of their victims is Antony Taquey of North Carolina. We are supposed to believe Taquey made 38,967 contributions totaling $608,342.
Of these, 253 went to Susan Collins, totaling $5,395. But hold on, the truth is Taquey did not make these contributions. He is 72 years old and is having his identity stolen by Collings and her Treasurer McCandless. That’s also elderly financial abuse.
Look at the chart of Taquey, on June 24, 2021 we are supposed to believe he made 468 contributions totaling $17,197. Each contribution is time/date stamped and assigned its own unique transaction code by the FEC.
Surprise: Taquey did not make 468 political contributions in one day. Nor the other ones shown in the chart – perhaps he made a handful and I’m talking a few dozen, maybe over the years a hundred but not 38,967 contributions.
And that number is low as we know the @FEC is hiding data, because we caught them. THAT is a felony crime.

86 year old Lesley Stewart of Texas is a Smurf, meaning she is a victim of Murkowski and Munoz. They stole Stewart’s identity, i.e. her name, address, account at whatever platform – most likely @WinRed. It is also elderly financial abuse.
Side note: WinRed is a criminal organization – stay away from them, as is @Actblue. Many Republicans hate WinRed in particular due to the relentless harassing texts, phone calls.

Complaint sent in against @SenMcConnell to the FEC for Smurfing $15,840,454 into his campaigns. Double bonus surprise ending!!!!
Smurfing is criminal money laundering, it also involves McConnell stealing the identities of senior citizens. They are called Smurfs (victims).
Look at one of McConnell’s victims, a Ms. Taft out of Michigan. See image below next to crooked McConnell. Per the FEC she made close to 30,000 political donations (nope, she did not really make all those).
One day in particular, she made 468 donations totaling $17,197.00. Just normal human behavior….to make 468 political campaign donations in one day, then hundreds the next, and next, and next, and next (again nope, she didn’t really make all these).
Political Committee C00193342, MCCONNELL SENATE COMMITTEE has accepted 308,411 Smurfed donor transactions totaling $15,840,454 from 20,726 unique Smurfing donors. That these transactions encompass 68.7% of the 449,013 available committee transactions and also being 34.7% of the $45,664,610 full committee transaction valuation.
1st surprise: Mitch McConnell’s campaign committee Treasurer, Lisa Lisker, is also @SpeakerJohnson’s campaign committee Treasurer. Lisker is named in both FEC complaints I filed against the committees of McConnell and Johnson.
I’m referring her, @MikeJohnson and McConnell for criminal prosecution. Some of the Smurfing money is coming from the US Treasury.
2nd surprise: @WinRed is named in the complaints also. They are big time Smurfing into RINO campaigns. Stealing elderly citizens’ identities also.

Complaint filed to @FEC on US Congressman Mike Johnson and his Treasurers, William Vanderbrook and Lisa Lisker, who have been caught Smurfing $5,808,595 into Johnson’s campaign committees.
Are you getting what is happening: money comes from the US Treasury, goes to let’s say a daycare center….then some of that ends up in politicians’ campaigns.
Or an NGO (there are about 1.5 million of them), or a federal grant, or a federal contract, or SNAP benefits, or medicaid payouts, or federal block grants to states, or money to Ukraine, or other foreign aid – are you finally picking up on what is really happening?
Smurfing is criminal money laundering into political campaigns. Both Republicans and Democrats are robbing us blind. This is exactly why you’re not seeing action, instead you’re seeing blocking.
See my tweets below for actions taken against US Senators @johnthune of South Dakota, @SenAmyKlobuchar of Minnesota, @SenatorWarnock of Georgia, @SenMarkKelly of Arizona, @SenatorSlotkin of Michigan and @SenBaldwinGSPP of Wisconsin, @LindseyGrahamSC of South Carolina.
I, @immutablechrist @TheTVConsPiracy and others have been tweeting it out for years. A cut of the US Treasury monies (your money) works it way into political campaigns – one way they do it is Smurfing. Which is structured money laundering, they are using computer bots to do it. Stealing the identities of senior citizens.
You can read more about it at our website http://electionwatch.info scroll down and you’ll find 4 articles about it. Smurfing is happening at the federal, state, county and even school board levels.
Under 52 U.S.C. §§ 30102(a) and 30104(a), the treasurer is the legally responsible officer for authorizing, receiving, recording, and reporting committee contributions, and is therefore properly named where violations involving false contributor identification or contributions in the name of another under 52 U.S.C. § 30122 are alleged.
Political Committee C00771246, JOHNSON LEADERSHIP FUND has accepted 2,772 Smurfed donor transactions totaling $2,214,635 from 682 unique Smurfing donors. That these transactions encompass 27% of the 10,258 available committee transactions and also being 15.1% of the $14,640,757full committee transaction valuation.
Political Committee C00608695, MIKE JOHNSON FOR LOUISIANA has accepted 206,429 Smurfed donor transactions totaling $3,593,960 from 6,186 unique Smurfing donors. That these transactions encompass 87.8% of the 235,162 available committee transactions and also being 36.1% of the $9,963,678 full committee transaction valuation.
The $5.8 million is just the tip of the iceberg for Mike Johnson, he’s in deep with PACs where the real number I believe, at this point in time, is over $25 million. @FBIDirectorKash @FBI

Their campaigns will have to pay back the monies, if the campaigns are empty, federal statute says then the candidate personally has to pay it back.
Then there is the fully open and ongoing federal criminal investigation into Smurfing. 😎

January 20, 2026 - Muckraker Documentary: How leftist NGO's facilitate mass migration into Europe
Mass migration is completely reshaping the West. It’s happening on an unprecedented scale.
Muckraker’s new documentary, Replacing Europe: Following the World’s Deadliest Migration Route documents what nobody is meant to see. Anthony and Joshua Rubin followed one of the deadliest illegal immigration routes on Earth from Africa to the Canary Islands, Spain, and France, ending in the United Kingdom.
By covertly engaging with migrants, NGOs, and criminal organizations, Muckraker exposed what is meant to be hidden from the public: European governments are not merely tolerating this shift. They are facilitating, encouraging, and funding it. (Muckraker, 1/20/2026)
January 20, 2026 - Biden's FBI paid anti-Trump, foreign-influenced 'Sedition Hunters' as informants in J6, Arctic Frost probes
The Biden-era FBI made more than $100,000 in payments to informants who were members of an anonymous group of tech sleuths known as the “Sedition Hunters” to gather and analyze video evidence in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and Arctic Frost probes despite the group’s significant anti-Trump fervor and known ties to foreigners, according to memos reviewed by Just the News.
The payments are due to be disclosed by FBI Director Kash Patel to Congress along with acknowledged concerns that the Christopher Wray-run bureau’s approval of certain members of the Sedition Hunters as confidential human sources may have violated bureau policies in the Domestic Investigation and Operations Guide (DIOG) concerning informant bias, informant secrecy, foreign influence, and contracting transparency, officials said.
Government officials said group members were first engaged in January 2021, just days after the Capitol riot, to assist making arrests in the January 6 case by identifying potential defendants using facial recognition software. The group members received at least $150,000 in payments for that work and other work related to the Arctic Frost probe into whether Trump supporters violated the law by promoting alternate electors to be considered for the certification of the 2020 election.
Biden-era FBI knew paid foreigners were using spyware to identify J6 arrestees
One of the earliest emails from the FBI’s Washington field office that oversaw that work showed the FBI was clearly aware the group had foreign connections and may actually be using software from overseas to identify American citizens for arrest, according to a copy of the email reviewed by Just the News.
The late January 2021 email from the FBI’s Washington field office stated that “we have a sedition hunter from the United Kingdom running facial recognition software” with the tipster telling the bureau that this UK-based so-called sedition hunter “just found this possible match” to an alleged January 6 suspect a few minutes prior, sharing the picture with the FBI.
FBI Director Kash Patel told Just the News on Tuesday night he is concerned that the paid informant relationship with Sedition Hunters members was inappropriate, and he was committed to working with Congress to develop rules to avoid such entanglements in the future.
“The American people deserve the truth about how the FBI was weaponized against them. Paying openly anti-Trump activists to identify Americans using questionable technology is a stunning abuse of bureau authorities and a clear violation of longstanding informant rules,” Patel said in a statement to Just the News.

January 20, 2026 - Townhall obtains footage that suggests judges can be bribed in Ohio's immigration courts
Woman in Ohio Undercover Video Brags About $50K Bribes to Ohio Judges to Fast-Track Asylum for Migrants
– At the center of the operation is Patricia Golder, who, according to the footage, has turned the alleged manipulation of the asylum process into her business.
– The undercover reporter is introduced to Golder by one of Golder’s friends, identified as Cindy Reis, who says Golder helps Mauritanian migrants get their papers.
– Golder explains her business model, taking a cut of migrants’ earnings: “I take one-third of what they make.” If they get $10,000, 1/3 is mine.”!Concerning as it suggests exploitation or a form of indentured labor tied to immigration help.
– Coaching on fabricating asylum claims: “You have to make the story… to meet the legal threshold.” Golder discusses tailoring narratives (e.g., persecution claims) to increase approval chances, which could involve fraud.
– she says she has access to judges, she goes out where they hang out and drink Golder brags about direct access to immigration judges who are willing to bend rules without fear
– Explicit bribery of Judges: “Okay, $50,000 I send everybody to you… 50,000 going split between people.” Golder describes approaching a judge, offering $50k (split among parties) to route cases for guaranteed approvals.
– they Discusses fast-tracking work permits, Social Security cards, and driver’s licenses after payoffs, implying rigged timelines.
These segments are the most alarming, as they directly allege felony-level activities like bribery (18 U.S.C. § 201), immigration fraud, and exploitation.

January 20, 2026 - Comer moves forward with contempt vote as Clintons make new demands after snubbing congressional subpoena
House Judiciary Chairman James Comer on Tuesday revealed that the Clintons made new, outrageous demands after snubbing congressional subpoenas.
(…) Clinton’s lawyers told Politico that the House Oversight subpoenas are not enforceable because they are “not related to a valid legislative purpose,” and are therefore “invalid and legally unenforceable.”
Comer said contempt proceedings will begin on Wednesday.
“Facing contempt of Congress, the Clintons’ lawyers made an untenable offer: that I travel to New York for a conversation with President Clinton only. No official transcript would be recorded and other Members of Congress would be barred from participating. I have rejected the Clintons’ ridiculous offer,” Comer said on Tuesday.
“The Clintons’ latest demands make clear they believe their last name entitles them to special treatment. The House Oversight Committee’s bipartisan subpoenas require the Clintons to appear for depositions that are under oath and transcribed. Former President Clinton has a documented history of parsing language to evade questions, responded falsely under oath, and was impeached and suspended from the practice of law as a result,” Comer said.
“The absence of an official transcript is an indefensible demand that is insulting to the American people who demand answers about Epstein’s crimes. As part of our investigation, the House Oversight Committee has released transcripts of interviews with former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr and former U.S. Secretary of Labor Alex Acosta, which has provided much needed transparency to the public. Without a formal record, Americans would be left to rely on competing accounts of what was said,” Comer added.
“Former Secretary Clinton’s on-the-record testimony is necessary for the Committee’s investigation given her knowledge from her time as Secretary of State of the federal government’s work to counter international sex-tracking rings, her personal knowledge of Ms. Maxwell, and her family’s relationship with Mr. Epstein,” he added.

U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer delays the release of the Epstein Files, January 21, 2026 (Credit: public domain)
Everyone is frustrated because they want to see the Epstein files and I do too, but here are the facts:
As of today, the DOJ has completed a review of over 5 million documents, conducted by over 500 attorneys, and they are ready to be released NOW.
However, Obama appointed Judge Paul Engelmayer has ordered a SECOND review of those documents and is now requiring certification of those documents by U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton, while simultaneously blocking the appointment of a special counsel. This is causing MAJOR delays.
I will be bringing forward a bill to IMPEACH Judge Engelmayer for obstructing the release of the Epstein files and failure to appoint special counsel! Release the files!

January 21, 2026 - Textbook due-process collapse in Colorado v. Tina Peters: The state admits she was never charged with the felony, the jury was never instructed on the felony
This is textbook due-process collapse. In Colorado v. Tina Peters, the state admits she was never charged with the felony, the jury was never instructed on the felony, and the jury actually convicted her of a misdemeanor—yet prosecutors insist courts can still enter a felony conviction because the evidence might have supported it.
That’s not law. That’s convict-first, justify-later. The Colorado Court of Appeals is rightly horrified because this would erase charging requirements, jury instructions, and verdicts entirely. If the state can swap crimes after trial, jury trials are meaningless.
Whatever you think of Tina Peters, this principle matters to everyone. Due process means you’re convicted only of crimes charged and instructed, not crimes prosecutors wish they’d charged. When the state argues otherwise, it’s not enforcing law—it’s dismantling it.

Tina Peters’ appeal remains pending in the Colorado Court of Appeals as of January 22, 2026. Oral arguments were heard on January 14, 2026, before a three-judge panel.
The judges appeared highly skeptical of Peters’ arguments for full reversal of her convictions (e.g., federal immunity under the Supremacy Clause, insufficient evidence, due process violations). However, they expressed serious concerns about her 9-year sentence, including a potential procedural error that may have improperly elevated one count from misdemeanor to felony (adding ~15 months) and whether the trial judge improperly considered her post-conviction election beliefs and statements, potentially violating First Amendment protections.
The panel questioned the prosecution closely on sentencing fairness for a non-violent first-time offender. If the appeal partially succeeds on sentencing issues, the case would likely be remanded to the original trial court in Mesa County’s 21st Judicial District for resentencing—most probably before the same judge, Matthew Barrett, who imposed the original sentence (though Peters’ attorney requested a different judge). No ruling has been issued yet; a written decision is expected in the coming months.
I am skeptical because all 3 judges were appointed by liberal ex-governor Hickenlooper.

January 21, 2026 - House Oversight Committee votes to charge Clintons with criminal contempt for defying congressional subpoenas

Nine Democrats on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee voted with Republicans Wednesday to recommend holding former President Bill Clinton in contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena to testify as part of the panel’s investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Three Democrats sided with Republicans in voting for a separate measure to recommend also holding former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in contempt.
Their votes underscore the continued pressure Democrats are under to remain consistent in their calls for transparency and accountability in the Epstein case — no matter the person or the party affiliation or the dire consequences.
The contempt reports now head to the House floor. Assuming the measures advance, the administration could choose to prosecute the former first couple, which could lead to potential jail time for one or both. (Read more: Politico, 1/21/2026) (Archive)
January 21, 2026 - Trump tells World Economic Forum the 2020 election was stolen and “people will soon be prosecuted for what they did”
Trump gave a phenomenal speech in Davos, championing Nationalism and national sovereignty and rebuking Europe’s globalist policies of unvetted mass migration.
“Certain places in Europe are not even recognizable, frankly, anymore. They’re not recognizable,” Trump said. “Many parts of our world are being destroyed before our very eyes, and the leaders don’t even understand what’s happening, and the ones that do understand aren’t doing anything about it.”
(…) Trump: The United States, is treated very unfairly by NATO, I want to tell you that. When you think about it, nobody can dispute it, we give so much, and we get so little in return. And I’ve been a critic of NATO for many years, and yet I’ve done more to help NATO than any other president, by far, than any other person. You wouldn’t have NATO if I didn’t get involved in my first term. The war with Ukraine is an example.
We are 1000s of miles away, separated by a giant ocean. It’s a war that should have never started, and it wouldn’t have started if the 2020 US presidential election weren’t rigged. It was a rigged election. Everybody now knows that. They found out. People will soon be prosecuted for what they did.
That’s probably breaking news, but it should be. It was a rigged election. Can’t have rigged elections. You need strong borders, strong elections, and ideally a good press. I always say it. Strong borders, strong elections, free, fair elections, and fair media. The media is terrible. It’s very crooked, it’s very biased, terrible. But someday it’ll straighten out, because it’s losing all credibility.
