Donald Trump’s claim that Norway controls the Nobel Peace Prize isn’t just sour grapes — it’s a tell. In this video, we break down how Trump’s Nobel obsession exposes a worldview where every institution is corrupt, every alliance is transactional, and diplomacy is replaced by tariffs and threats. From his push to seize Greenland and bully NATO allies, to his deal-first approach to healthcare and Gaza, to his attacks on Europe that ...

Donald Trump’s renewed push to take control of Greenland has escalated from eccentric idea to full-blown transatlantic crisis. By threatening tariffs and refusing to rule out force, the US president is pressuring European allies to “go along” with an unprecedented challenge to NATO norms. This video breaks down how Greenland became a geopolitical flashpoint, why Denmark and Europe are pushing back, and what Trump’s coercive tactics...

As Donald Trump floats the idea of seizing Greenland and dismisses long-standing alliances, Congress remains largely silent. The Republican Party—once defined by constitutional restraint—now hesitates to confront a president testing the boundaries of executive power. This video explores how unchecked rhetoric, authoritarian instincts, and congressional inaction are colliding at a critical moment for American democracy.

Donald Trump has escalated his war on climate policy to a new and legally dangerous level. His administration has announced plans to withdraw the United States from the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) — the treaty that underpins global climate cooperation. This isn’t just a diplomatic stunt. Legal scholars warn that abandoning the UNFCCC may exceed presidential authority, raising serious constitutional questions ...

ICE Shifts to Federal Occupation as Minnesota Goes Under Siege, Hunting Migrants and Citizens Alike.
January 13, 2026 • 11 mins
What’s happening in Minnesota isn’t just an immigration crackdown — it’s a warning. Under the Trump regime, immigration enforcement has shifted from border control to full-scale internal policing. ICE now operates deep inside U.S. cities, armed, masked, and largely unaccountable, targeting not just undocumented immigrants but entire communities. In Minnesota, thousands of federal agents have flooded the state following the fatal sh...

Every year, police in the United States kill over a thousand people. In the United Kingdom and much of Europe, the number is often in the single digits — sometimes zero. Drawing on recent data, legal standards, and the killing of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, this essay examines how American policing has come to normalize lethal force, how guns and unregulated training shape officer behavior, and why accountability for police v...

Donald Trump’s greatest danger has never been his intelligence or strategy — it’s his emptiness. Easily distracted, endlessly flattered, and driven by grievance rather than principle, Trump has become the ideal vehicle for forces far more disciplined and extreme than he is. This video breaks down how Trump’s chaos creates an opening for figures like Stephen Miller, the architect of the administration’s ethnonationalist agenda, and ...

Donald Trump is openly warning Republicans that losing the midterms could lead to his impeachment — and Democrats are proving him right by refusing to act. This video breaks down how Democratic leadership’s obsession with “electability” and swing-district politics has turned impeachment from a constitutional duty into a taboo topic. When a president threatens elections, intimidates opponents, and dismisses public opinion, accountab...

The killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Macklin Good in Minneapolis was captured on video—and yet, within hours, the Trump administration declared the case closed. But the video tells a very different story. It shows Macklin Good reversing her car, allowing an ICE vehicle to pass. It shows an officer ordering her to exit. It shows her attempting to leave at low speed—and an ICE agent firing multiple shots. The officer is never stru...

Donald Trump’s refusal to walk back his regime-change rhetoric on Venezuela has now reignited international concern—this time over Greenland. Declaring that the United States needs Greenland “very badly,” Trump’s remarks have intensified fears of a potential American move against the Arctic territory. Greenland is largely self-governing but remains part of the Danish kingdom, with Copenhagen responsible for defence and foreign poli...

Did Donald Trump’s anger over being denied the Nobel Peace Prize influence his decision to take action against Nicolás Maduro? White House insiders reveal how María Corina Machado’s decision to accept the Nobel Peace Prize for herself instead of insisting it be awarded to Trump might have led to a shift in US foreign policy. Despite Machado later dedicating the prize to Trump, it wasn’t enough to smooth things over. We dive into ho...

The United States has launched airstrikes on Caracas and detained Venezuela’s president, Nicolás Maduro, in an unprecedented operation that has drawn condemnation from governments around the world. France, Spain, Brazil, China, Russia and the European Union say the action likely violates the UN Charter, which prohibits the use of force against a sovereign state.

ICE is undergoing one of the largest expansions in modern U.S. history—and critics warn this is not just about immigration enforcement. Backed by tens of billions of dollars in new funding and a $100 million “wartime recruitment” campaign, the Trump administration is rapidly transforming Immigration and Customs Enforcement into a force opponents describe as militarized, ideologically driven, and increasingly insulated from oversigh...

Donald Trump’s political project is often misunderstood as a campaign, a presidency, or a movement. This video argues it is something far more dangerous: a sustained effort to hollow out democratic constraints until elections still happen—but no longer decide outcomes. From the Big Lie and January 6 to loyalty tests, voter suppression, gerrymandering, and narrative control, this analysis traces how elections can be deformed without...

Donald Trump claims he can end the war in Ukraine—but the optics and timing of recent events tell a far more troubling story. As Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy traveled to Florida for critical peace talks, Trump publicly highlighted a phone call with Vladimir Putin, positioning himself as the central power broker while Russia escalated threats and spread disinformation. In this video, we break down how Russia’s sudden clai...

Donald Trump returned to power promising “maximum transparency.” But when it came time to release the Jeffrey Epstein files, that promise collapsed into redactions, missing documents, and outright misinformation. In this video, we break down how Trump’s Justice Department botched—and arguably sabotaged—the Epstein disclosures, why Attorney General Pam Bondi’s claims rang hollow, and why the loudest backlash came not from Democrats,...

Is white supremacy moving back into the center of American political power? This video breaks down how Vice President JD Vance is positioning himself as the heir to the post-Trump Republican Party—and why his rhetoric, alliances, and refusal to condemn extremists signal a dangerous shift in U.S. leadership.

A Trump directive, NSPM-7, reframes “anti-fascism” itself as a national security threat. Issued after the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, the memo goes beyond condemning specific crimes. It collapses ideology, protest, and violence into a single category—casting beliefs labeled “anti-American, anti-capitalist, and anti-Christian” as inherently suspect.
