Deep State Prosecutor Threatens Retaliation Against Trump Officials
A prosecutor inside the Department of Justice, who refused to go on record, has revealed plans for future retaliation against officials in the current Trump administration, stating that career employees are maintaining mental lists of individuals who could face valid criminal probes once Democrats regain control of the White House. This admission came amid widespread departures from the Justice Department, where more than 200 career attorneys have been fired, and thousands more have resigned following overhauls by Trump appointees aimed at restoring political neutrality and accountability. The prosecutor acknowledged the difficulty in exercising restraint against perceived collaborators within the department. The White House dismissed such complaints as coming from anti-Trump bureaucrats obstructing the agenda supported by millions of American voters.

Trump Administration Escalates Denaturalization Efforts Against Fraudulent Citizens
The Trump administration has directed U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services to significantly expand denaturalization proceedings by referring 100 to 200 cases per month to the Justice Department’s Office of Immigration Litigation in fiscal year 2026. This initiative targets naturalized citizens who obtained citizenship through fraud or material misrepresentation during the application process. Federal law limits denaturalization to narrow circumstances, primarily fraud in naturalization. A USCIS spokesman emphasized the agency’s commitment to its war on fraud, stating that it prioritizes those who unlawfully obtained citizenship, especially cases from the previous administration. This approach represents a substantial increase over historical averages, where denaturalization cases numbered fewer than 25 annually in recent years.

DHS Triples Self-Deportation Incentive for Illegal Aliens During Christmas Season
The Department of Homeland Security has announced a limited-time increase in its voluntary self-deportation program, tripling the standard $1,000 exit bonus to $3,000 for illegal aliens who register and depart the United States by December 31, 2025, using the CBP Home app. This holiday initiative also includes free airfare to home countries and waiver of certain immigration-related fines or penalties. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem emphasized that since January 2025, 1.9 million illegal aliens have voluntarily self-deported, with tens of thousands utilizing the CBP Home program, while warning that those who decline the offer face arrest and permanent bar from return. The program, introduced earlier in the year to replace the prior administration’s CBP One app, promotes orderly departure as a cost-effective alternative to enforced removals amid ongoing efforts to uphold immigration laws.

Federal Charges Against California Welfare Worker for CalFresh Fraud
The Department of Justice has charged Leticia Mariscal, a 55-year-old former benefits eligibility worker in Madera County, California, with stealing over $40,000 in CalFresh benefits through a fraud scheme that spanned from December 2020 to April 2025. Mariscal allegedly exploited her database access to obtain identifying information for elderly and deceased individuals. She then secretly approved those individuals for benefits. Authorities state she printed Electronic Benefits Transfer cards in their names, loaded the benefits onto the cards, and spent the funds personally on more than 15 identities. The scheme came to light after the son of a 91-year-old nursing home resident questioned unauthorized food assistance receipts. Investigators confronted Mariscal with security footage, prompting her admission to the fraud while claiming it stemmed from fear of a former boyfriend described as a gang member. The FBI and Madera County District Attorney’s Office led the probe. Mariscal faces potential penalties of up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted.

California Extends Diablo Canyon Nuclear Operations
California’s last operating nuclear power plant, Diablo Canyon, operated by Pacific Gas & Electric and supplying nearly 9% of the state’s electricity as its largest single source of reliable clean energy, has secured approval to continue running for an additional five years beyond its original 2025 shutdown date, now extending operations until at least 2030. The California Coastal Commission approved the necessary permits in a 9-3 vote on December 11, following a landmark agreement requiring the utility to conserve thousands of acres of surrounding land in San Luis Obispo County to mitigate environmental impacts from continued operations. This decision addresses critical grid reliability concerns amid extreme heat waves that have previously strained the electrical system and threatened blackouts, with Governor Gavin Newsom emphasizing the plant’s role in maintaining stability during high-demand periods. A prior MIT and Stanford study highlighted potential benefits, including a 10% reduction in carbon emissions and billions in system cost savings, reinforcing the plant’s value as the backbone of California’s clean and dependable power supply. Meanwhile, San Luis Obispo County has initiated studies on the economic impacts of further extensions, including assessments of advanced nuclear reactor feasibility.

CBS Editor Spikes 60 Minutes Investigation into El Salvador Prison Conditions
CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss made a last-minute decision to pull a scheduled 60 Minutes segment investigating conditions at El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center, where the Trump administration deported hundreds of Venezuelan individuals alleged to be gang members. The report, produced by correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi, included interviews with released deportees describing brutal treatment and abuse during their detention. Weiss determined the piece required additional reporting, including efforts to obtain on-camera comments from administration officials, noting that similar allegations had already been covered elsewhere and that the segment did not sufficiently advance the story for the program’s standards. Alfonsi contended the hold amounted to a political choice rather than an editorial one, particularly since requests for government comment went unanswered. CBS stated the investigation would air at a later date after further work.

Democrat Despotism Threatens American Free Speech
The American left demonstrates a troubling progression from efforts to censor dissenting views to compelling citizens to affirm approved ideologies, manifesting what amounts to democratic despotism that the nation’s Founders warned against as majority tyranny over individual rights. Specific instances illustrate this pattern: in Washington state, Democrat lawmakers advanced legislation requiring priests to violate confessional confidentiality by reporting certain admissions, a measure ultimately halted through federal injunctions and lawsuits despite initial passage over constitutional concerns. At the University of Washington, administrators pressured a professor to include a mandatory Indigenous land acknowledgment in his syllabus, deeming his alternative statement invoking John Locke’s labor theory of property as creating a toxic environment, though the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals recently allowed his free speech lawsuit to proceed as a significant victory. In Illinois, Democrats under Governor JB Pritzker enacted a law mandating that pro-life pregnancy centers and religious healthcare providers promote the benefits of abortion to patients, overriding faith-based objections, with courts striking it down, but the state appealed to enforce compliance. These cases reveal a persistent drive to force endorsement of select views while dismissing opposition as harmful, undermining core protections of free speech and religious exercise, even as courts provide setbacks, highlighting vulnerabilities in the democratic system to majoritarian overreach 250 years after the founding.

Providence Officials Accept Undeserved Honors After Failed Response
Providence Mayor Brett Smiley and Police Chief Oscar Perez received public honors and a standing ovation at Providence College’s First Responders Night on December 19, 2025, for their handling of a shooting at Brown University that killed an MIT professor, allowed the suspect to escape undetected despite hours on campus, enabled a second murder days later, and ended only with the suspect’s suicide in New Hampshire after a civilian Reddit tip from a homeless person living in a campus basement provided the key lead. Authorities initially detained and released the wrong individual while assuring progress, offered limited transparency by refusing questions on the suspect, motive, or longstanding security lapses despite hundreds of campus cameras yielding no usable footage, and relied on external factors rather than proactive intervention to resolve the case. Critics highlight this acceptance of praise amid documented investigative shortcomings, ignored warnings about lax access controls, and absence of accountability as inappropriate recognition for ineffective public safety leadership.

University of Illinois Leaked Lecture Exposes Leftist Bias in Teacher Training
A leaked 25-slide PowerPoint presentation from week 15 of EDUC 201, a required course titled “Identity and Difference in Education” for first-year education majors at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, focuses on the lesson “Living in Uncertainty: Understanding Immigrant, Migrant, & Refugee Student Populations” taught by Professor Gabriel Rodriguez. The presentation opens with an image of a sign stating “No human being is illegal” and includes a slide on “Language Matters” that labels terms such as “illegal immigrants,” “illegal aliens,” or “illegals” as harmful, dehumanizing, and degrading because they reinforce negative stereotypes, link immigration to criminality, suggest immigrants lack rights, and enable scapegoating for systemic issues. Additional slides distinguish immigrants, who migrate for better opportunities like work or education, from refugees fleeing persecution, conflict, or violence, without addressing distinctions between legal and illegal immigration. A student whistleblower provided the materials, describing the course as emphasizing equity, LGBTQ+ issues, privileged identities, and preferred pronouns while functioning as an indoctrination seminar rather than practical teacher preparation.

Birmingham Black Lives Matter Co-Founder Arrested on Domestic Violence Charges
Eric Hall, co-founder of the Black Lives Matter chapter in Birmingham, Alabama, who previously accused law enforcement officers of racism and violence following a police-involved shooting and advocated for defunding police in favor of other community services, was arrested last week on misdemeanor charges of assault-domestic and simple assault-family according to jail records. Hall, who recently ran unsuccessfully for the Birmingham School Board, claimed the incident stemmed from a misunderstanding involving a friend experiencing a mental health episode whom he called police to assist, resulting in his own arrest. Following his release on bail, Hall publicly criticized the conditions in Birmingham jail as inhumane, noting instances where detainees lacked access to basic facilities and urging officials to ensure dignified treatment for all individuals regardless of charges.

The Democrats' Cynical 3-Year Obamacare Subsidy Scheme:
Running Out the Clock on Real Reform
“…At its core, this insistence reveals Democrats’ long-game agenda: perpetuate and expand ACA funding to enroll as many people as possible—legal citizens and illegal immigrants alike—overloading the system until it buckles under its own weight...Here, the goal is to engineer collapse while funneling billions to the health insurance giants and Big Pharma, who generously reward Democrats with campaign contributions.…”

Additional Abducted Nigerian Schoolchildren Freed
Armed gunmen abducted more than 300 pupils and 12 staff from St Mary’s Catholic School in Papiri village, Niger state, on November 21. Fifty children escaped shortly after the abduction. The government rescued 100 victims by early December through security operations. On December 21, authorities secured the release of the remaining approximately 130 pupils following sustained military pressure and coordinated efforts, with police confirming the freedom of this final batch and presidential statements indicating all abducted schoolchildren are now accounted for and expected to reunite with families. This incident underscores the persistent threat from criminal gangs targeting schools for ransom in northern Nigeria, a pattern that intensified after the 2014 Chibok abductions and continues to challenge law enforcement and community safety.

Nicaragua Restricts Religious Freedom Further; Bans Tourists from Bringing Bibles into Country
Authorities in Nicaragua have prohibited tourists from bringing Bibles into the country as part of broader restrictions on printed materials and electronic devices imposed at border crossings. Notices posted at regional bus terminals and confirmations from transport company representatives indicate that Bibles, along with newspapers, magazines, books of any kind, drones, and cameras, are now banned items for passengers entering the nation, with these measures reportedly in place for over six months. This development occurs amid a sustained government campaign to limit civil liberties and religious expression, including the revocation of legal status for thousands of independent organizations and faith-based groups since 2018, bans on public religious processions unless aligned with state-approved entities, and documented cases of surveillance, detention, and restrictions on religious leaders. Advocacy groups have highlighted these actions as efforts to suppress independent information and voices critical of the regime, reflecting a pattern of escalating control over religious practice and freedom of belief in the country.

Russian General Assassinated in Moscow Car Bombing
Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov, head of the Operational Training Directorate of the Russian Armed Forces General Staff, was killed on December 22, when an explosive device detonated beneath his Kia Sorento vehicle in southern Moscow’s Yasenevo district as he departed for work. The blast inflicted severe shrapnel injuries, closed fractures, leg wounds, and a fractured facial bone, leading to his death despite medical intervention. Seven nearby vehicles sustained damage from the explosion’s force. Russia’s Investigative Committee promptly initiated a murder investigation under central oversight, deploying forensic experts, emergency services, and operatives to examine the scene, interrogate witnesses, review surveillance footage, and conduct medical, forensic, and explosives analyses. Officials confirmed pursuit of multiple investigative leads, including potential orchestration by Ukrainian intelligence services, amid a pattern of similar targeted attacks on senior Russian military figures.

El Salvador Enforces Severe Sentences on MS-13 Gang Members
El Salvador’s authorities announced the imposition of exemplary prison sentences on 248 members of the notorious Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) gang for crimes including 43 homicides and 42 disappearances committed between 2014 and 2022. One defendant received a term of 1,335 years. Ten others were sentenced to periods ranging from 463 to 958 years. These punishments stem from President Nayib Bukele’s ongoing state of emergency crackdown initiated in March 2022, which has enabled warrantless arrests and contributed to historically low homicide rates after decades when MS-13 and Barrio 18 gangs controlled much of the territory and were linked to approximately 200,000 deaths.
Saudi Arabia Records Highest Annual Executions
Saudi Arabia has executed at least 347 individuals in 2025, establishing a new annual record for the second consecutive year amid ongoing social and economic reforms that include increased women’s participation in the workforce and relaxed restrictions on certain activities. The executions encompass government critics and at least one journalist, reflecting heightened measures against dissent even as the kingdom pursues modernization efforts. Reports indicate widespread due process concerns in the judicial system, with freedom of expression remaining severely restricted.
