Selena Gomez Bawling On Camera Calling Criminal Migrants ‘My People’ Proves America’s Mass Migration Problem.

Selena Gomez, a third-generation Mexican immigrant on her father’s side, has posted a tearful video captioned “I’m sorry [Mexico],” lamenting the fact that her “people” are being “attacked.” President Donald J. Trump is currently overseeing a crackdown on illegal immigration, with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) launching raids principally targeting foreign criminals, including pedophiles.

“I just want to say that I’m so sorry,” Gomez says in the now-deleted video. “All my people are getting attacked. The children. I don’t understand. I’m so sorry; I wish I could do something, but I can’t. I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything, I promise,” she adds.

Gomez received significant backlash for her statement, with Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA among those questioning, “‘My people?’ Aren’t you American?” The 32-year-old former Disney actress was born in the U.S.—as were her parents and maternal grandparents. However, her paternal grandparents moved to the U.S. from Mexico in the 1970s—and her loyalties appear to remain with their home country.

“We’re gonna do this job, and we’re going to enforce the laws of this country. If they don’t like it, then go to Congress and change the law,” said Tom Homan, President Trump’s border czar, when quizzed on Gomez’s video.

“We’re going to do this operation with no apology. We’re going to make our communities safer. Once we lock that border down and continue this operation, you’re going to see fentanyl deaths decrease, illegal alien crime decrease, sex trafficking decrease,” he continued.

“It’s all for the good of this nation, and we’re gonna keep going. No apologies, we’re moving forward.”

Bill Gates Says His Friendship With Pedo Sex Trafficker Jeffrey Epstein Was Merely ‘Foolish.’

Billionaire globalist Bill Gates is dismissing his past relationship with pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein as merely “foolish.” The Microsoft co-founder is among numerous business and political leaders who maintained close ties with Epstein, despite allegations he was engaged in trafficking underage girls for sexual purposes and a conviction for soliciting minors.

In a recent interview, Gates admitted his association with Epstein, whom he referred to as “Jeffrey,” was a “huge mistake.” The acknowledgment comes as Gates is promoting the release of his new autobiography, Source Code: My Beginnings, next month.

Speaking with the Wall Street Journal, Gates claims he initially believed Epstein could help advance his efforts in global health philanthropy. However, he acknowledged that these efforts were ineffective and his meetings with Epstein were misguided. Gates admitted, “In retrospect, I was foolish to spend any time with him. It was just a huge mistake.”

Epstein, convicted in 2008 for procuring minors for sex, began seeking relationships with influential individuals like Gates around 2010. Reports suggest Epstein aimed to restore his public image through these connections. The relationship between Gates and Epstein continued until the financier’s death in 2019. Epstein is alleged to have died by suicide in a jail cell while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

The revelations have prompted Gates to reconsider his network of acquaintances, he claims. His former wife, Melinda Gates, has previously shared her concerns regarding his interactions with Epstein. In a 2021 interview with Gayle King, Melinda Gates described Epstein as “evil personified” after meeting him once.

Trump’s Ukraine Peace Plan Leaked: 100-Day Strategy Unveiled.

Ukrainian media has leaked what is claimed to be President Donald J. Trump’s peace plan for the Russia–Ukraine war, aiming for a ceasefire between the two countries by April 20. On Sunday, Strana, a Ukrainian media outlet, disclosed details of the supposed plan. However, other media outlets have not independently verified the authenticity of these details.

According to Strana’s report, the alleged plan includes initiating a phone call between Trump and Russia’s President Vladimir Putin, tentatively set for late January or early February. This would be followed by meetings with Putin and Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky in subsequent months, with a ceasefire planned by April 20.

The plan also suggests withdrawing Ukrainian forces from the Russian region of Kursk and initiating an international peace conference. The conference, which could involve global mediators, aims to broker a lasting peace framework by May 9.

Key components of the proposed agreement reportedly involve prohibiting Ukraine from joining NATO and having it declare a neutral stance, combined with European Union (EU) membership by 2030.

Additionally, Ukraine would continue to receive military support from the U.S. while refraining from reclaiming territories under Russian control. Meanwhile, a phased lifting of sanctions against Russia could occur over three years, contingent on adherence to the agreement.

Andriy Yermak, head of the Office of the Ukrainian President, dismissed the alleged plan, labeling it a fabrication. He suggested it might be Russian misinformation.

President Trump has vowed to end the conflict between the two countries and appears to have agreed with President Putin to meet and discuss the matter in the coming months. Trump has warned he is considering further sanctions against Russia if the country does not agree to work on a peace deal.

Deadly Paris: Boy Stabbed to Death During Cell Phone Robbery.

A 14-year-old boy named Elias was fatally stabbed in Paris, France, on Friday, January 24, after refusing to hand over his cell phone to two robbers. The incident occurred shortly before 8 PM in the city’s 14th arrondissement (district) as he left a soccer practice. Two teenagers, aged 16 and 17, demanded the younger boy’s phone, and upon his refusal, one of them stabbed him. Elias was pronounced dead on Saturday afternoon.

French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau expressed his horror at the incident, attributing it to a loss of societal direction and a breakdown of authority. Retailleau emphasized the need for a long and challenging journey to make France a place where parents no longer fear for their children’s lives over trivial matters.

The two minors implicated in the crime, who both reside in the 14th arrondissement, have been apprehended and detained. Initially investigated for “attempted homicide on a minor under 15 and armed extortion,” the charges now include “extortion followed by death, a crime punishable by life imprisonment.” Both suspects were already known to French police. One had a judicial measure for theft and extortion in December 2023, and both were charged with violent thefts in late October 2024, with a court order prohibiting their association.

Their ethnic and migration background, if any, has not been disclosed.

PARIS VIOLENCE.

The crime is just the latest in Paris to see a minor murdered on the street. It also comes just over two years after the brutal murder of 12-year-old girl Lola Daviet. Daviet was found left in a dumpster outside her apartment. Police later arrested an illegal migrant woman for the killing who should have been deported from the country months prior.

Last year, another murder, this time of a 19-year-old woman in the city, again saw discussions about migrant crime, with the man arrested for the killing being an illegal from Morocco. He was also subject to a deportation order that was never carried out, despite the fact he had been convicted of raping a student in 2019.

Some, like President Donald J. Trump, have correctly blamed mass migration for much of the increase in crime in Paris. Statistics show migrants are vastly overrepresented in crime statistics.

‘Let’s Talk About Something Else’ — Chinese ‘DeepSeek’ AI Refuses to Acknowledge Tiananmen Square Massacre.

The new artificial intelligence (AI) model unveiled by Chinese start-up DeepSeek over the weekend is raising eyebrows not just for its low cost and minimal computing requirements but also for its aggressive censorship of topics embarrassing to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)—including the Tiananmen Square massacre. DeepSeek’s R1 model—similar to ChatGPT—allegedly cost just $5.6 million to train and only requires 2,000 Nvidia specialty GPU chips to power. U.S. companies have spent hundreds of millions to billions of dollars to train their AI models and power them with tens of thousands of GPUs.

Despite the potentially earth-shaking breakthrough DeepSeek represents in AI cost—both in terms of investment and computing power—the chatbot’s aversion to and inability to discuss topics considered sensitive by the CCP are alarming many in the industry. When prompted to discuss “what happened in the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre” DeepSeek’s R1 model only replies with a pre-generated response reading: “Sorry, that’s beyond my current scope. Let’s talk about something else.”

The two-sentence script is used by the model to reply to several prompts that touch on events and subjects viewed as taboo by the CCP. Notably, several DeepSeek users have recorded videos that appear to show the chatbot generating an honest response before being overridden with the pre-generated script.

When asked to criticize Chinese dictator Xi Jinping, DeepSeek’s model again responds with the same pre-generated reply. However, when asked to criticize U.S. President Donald J. Trump, the Chinese chatbot is more than happy to provide a number of suggested criticisms. Additionally, DeepSeek appears more than willing to carry on a lengthy discussion about whether the United States is an evil nation.

15% of ‘Women’ in Federal Prisons Are Transgender Men.

President Donald J. Trump’s executive order reversing Democrat regulations allowing transgender prisoners to be housed according to their gender identity will impact around 1,500 federal inmates who are male but identify as women. These male transgenders constitute a significant segment of the population of women’s prisons, with approximately 15 percent of “women” in federal prisons being biological men.

President Trump’s policy shift also halts federal funding for sex reassignment surgeries and hormone treatments for inmates who identify as transgender. The funding also applies to people in immigration detention. One transgender inmate, who calls himself Maria Moe, is suing the America First leader over the policy.

The Women’s Liberation Front, which advocates against male transgenders being housed in female prisons, views this as a significant victory. They cite cases such as that of Tremaine Carroll, a transgender inmate accused of rape after he was housed in a women’s prison.

Under previous administrations, guidelines changed several times. President Barack Obama allowed transgender inmates to be housed based on gender identity. Trump reversed this policy during his first term, but President Joe Biden reinstated it in 2021.

DATA: Trump Commands GIGANTIC Swing in Voter Trust, Especially In This Area…

Americans increasingly say they trust President Donald J. Trump and the Republican Party over Democrats to handle the U.S. immigration crisis. In January 2025, polling data shows the Republican Party holds a 22-point margin in terms of being trusted to address immigration problems, a marked shift from 2017 when Democrats held an 11-point advantage.

“I just want to note how different things are from where we were when Donald Trump first took office and how much more the American people are on the side of Republicans than they were eight years ago,” CNN data analysis Harry Enten explained during a recent segment. He continued: “You go back to April 2017—look at this—the Democrats held an 11-point advantage over Republicans. So Americans were not liking what Donald Trump and the Republican Party was doing back at the beginning of his first term.”

“Look at where they are now, though. A poll out now, though, just in the last week, after Donald Trump took office, ‘Which party do you trust more on immigration?’ Look at the margin Republicans are putting up here,” Enten notes, adding: “A 22-point lead over Democrats. You rarely see issues in which the American people side so much with one party over the other… Republicans lead overwhelmingly on this.”

Survey data has repeatedly shown the American people souring on the Democratic Party’s embrace of mass immigration under former President Joe Biden. Border security and immigration consistently ranked as two of the top issues for voters during the 2024 presidential election.

Additionally, polling shows a majority of Americans are embracing President Trump’s plan to mass deport the tens of millions of illegal immigrants currently in the U.S., including the millions allowed to enter the country by the Biden government unlawfully.

Alas, You Can No Longer Show Up For Your Spirit Flight Half Naked.

Spirit Airlines has introduced a revised dress code policy, effective January 22, following recent incidents involving passenger attire—or lack thereof—that gained attention on social media. The new guidelines specify scenarios where travelers may be denied boarding or removed from flights based on clothing and body art.

According to the updated policy, passengers will not be allowed to board or could be asked to leave if they are considered “inadequately clothed,” meaning wearing see-through garments or not adequately covering the body, including exposed private areas. Additionally, travelers with attire or body art deemed lewd, obscene, or offensive may also face action.

Footwear rules have also been stipulated, requiring passengers to wear suitable shoes. Other stipulations include measures against boarding for those appearing intoxicated, abusive towards crew members, or having an “offensive odor unless due to a recognized disability.” These measures are standard in airline carriage contracts, addressing issues such as intoxication, abusive behavior, and odor.

Previously, Spirit Airlines—a budget air carrier—had policies against passengers described as “inadequately clothed” or displaying “lewd” attire, although they lacked specificity. The update clarifies what constitutes policy violations.

The stricter guidelines emerged after multiple instances where passengers’ attire led to altercations. Notably, in October 2024, two passengers were removed for wearing crop tops deemed inappropriate. More recently, a man in a provocative hoodie was escorted off a flight despite agreeing to remove it.

Other airlines maintain dress codes but with varying specificity. Delta Airlines’ policy can deny boarding to passengers whose attire risks offending others. American Airlines prohibits bare feet and offensive clothing. Hawaiian Airlines is more specific about acceptable attire, allowing tank tops and shorts but prohibiting Speedos and bikini bottoms.

Trans Inmate Sues Trump for Halting of Taxpayer-Funded Sex Changes.

A transgender inmate has filed a lawsuit seeking to block President Donald J. Trump‘s executive order limiting the federal government recognition to only two legal sexes, male and female, and mandating the transfer of transgender women (men) to men’s prisons. The executive order additionally halts federally subsidized sex transitions for these individuals.

According to the filings, the lawsuit alleges President Trump’s executive order is “intentionally designed to discriminate against transgender people.” Additionally, it contends the order is meant to “preclude transgender people from being able to live in a sex different than their birth sex and to deny them equal treatment.”

The plaintiff, identified in legal documents as Maria Moe, is a biological man currently housed in a federal women’s prison. Filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, the lawsuit is backed by litigators for GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders, National Center for Lesbian Rights, and Lowenstein Sandler LLP, who argue the executive order contravenes constitutional and statutory rights—citing specifically the Fifth and Eighth Amendments and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973

Moe, who reportedly has gender dysphoria and has pretended to be a woman for years, was receiving gender transition treatment until the recent policy directive interrupted his care. He claims his potential transfer to a men’s facility would place him at significant risk of violence and assault.

Following the executive order, Moe has reportedly been moved to a Special Housing Unit, awaiting transfer, without contact with others. The suit references his lack of a violent record in federal custody and argues against the necessity and legality of such a transfer.

The plaintiff seeks a court judgment to annul the executive order, maintain his housing and medical treatment as they were before the order, and award him nominal damages.

Britain Backs Trump – Stunning Data Shows Mass UK Support for Trump 2.0 Policies: Deportations, Free Speech…

British voters support several key policies associated with U.S. President Donald J. Trump. An Opinium poll involving 2,000 participants surveyed opinions on 16 statements derived from Trump’s inauguration speech, adapted to a British context—and without President Trump’s name attached—finding huge support for a ‘Britain First’ platform.

Presented with the pledge, “We will declare a national emergency in the Channel, and we will begin the process of returning thousands and thousands of criminal migrants back to the places from which they came”—a reference to Britain’s ongoing boat migrants crisis—35 percent strongly agreed and 23 percent somewhat agreed, against just 12 percent each for strongly disagree and somewhat disagree.

Moreover, a net 63 percent agreed with the statement, “Our state fails to protect our law-abiding UK citizens but provides sanctuary and protection for dangerous criminals that have illegally entered our country from all over the world,” against only 26 percent disagreeing.

Presented with the statement, “After years and years of efforts to restrict free expression, we will immediately stop all government censorship and bring back free speech,” 53 percent agreed, against only 26 percent who disagreed. Censorship is a major issue in Britain, which lacks a First Amendment and sees thousands arrested for “grossly offensive” communications every year, up to and including sharing George Floyd memes in private WhatsApp groups.

Additionally, 56 percent of Britons support imposing tariffs on foreign countries “to protect UK workers and families [and] enrich our citizens to benefit UK citizens.” This result is particularly curious, as while economic nationalism has been part of America’s public discourse for years, free trade dogma stands virtually unchallenged among Britain’s political and media establishment.

A majority of 51 percent also agreed with the statement “there are only two genders: male and female,” against 32 percent who disagreed. Meanwhile, 53 percent support moving to “end the government policy of trying to socially engineer ethnicity and gender into every aspect of public and private life [and] forge a society that is color-blind and merit-based,” against just 23 percent who disagreed.
