🚨BREAKING: ICE agents were operating right next to a SCHOOL BUS STOP, during morning pickup in Lindenwold, New Jersey.
Children were standing waiting for the bus when federal agents flooded an apartment complex.
Kids started running in fear, and as they ran, an SUV followed.
Let that sink in…
Elementary school kids, backpacks on, running from armed agents while a vehicle follows them through their own neighborhood.
We keep being told these operations are about “public safety.” There is nothing about sending dozens of children into a panic before school that makes anyone safer. There is nothing normal about federal agents patrolling bus stops and apartment complexes like this.
And we’re supposed to believe this is protecting children?
At the same time the country is re-examining how often predators operate in positions of power, how often abuse hides behind wealth, connections, and authority, we are normalizing masked agents and unmarked SUVs hovering around school pickup points. We are normalizing fear as part of a child’s morning routine.
You cannot claim to be fighting trafficking while creating chaos around school bus stops. You cannot claim to be pro-child while conducting aggressive operations in spaces where kids are supposed to feel safe.

Trump sends second aircraft carrier to Middle East in effort to increase pressure on Iran

USS Gerald R Ford will take about three weeks to sail to region, amid push for Iran to curb its nuclear ambitions
Dan Sabbagh Fri 13 Feb 2026 12.46 EST
Donald Trump has ordered the world’s largest aircraft carrier to sail from the Caribbean Sea to the Middle East in an effort to increase pressure on Iran amid discussions over curbing its nuclear and ballistic missile programmes.
On Tuesday, Trump said in an interview with Axios that he was “thinking” about sending a second carrier strike group to the Middle East, though at that point he said he believed Tehran was willing to strike a nuclear deal.
The US and Iran held a round of indirect negotiations in Oman last week, and further discussions were expected to follow, but so far no date has been scheduled.

The USS Gerald R Ford and its supporting warships should take about three weeks to return to the region, where they will join the USS Abraham Lincoln, dramatically increasing the military firepower available to the US leader.

COPENHAGEN, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Denmark will provide four F-35 fighter jets to NATO's Arctic Sentry mission, Danish Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said on Friday.
NATO said on Wednesday it had launched the mission to strengthen its presence in the Arctic, part of an effort to defuse tensions within the alliance prompted by the U.S. president's push to acquire Greenland from Denmark.
"Our F-35 contribution strengthens the overall presence in the region and underscores Denmark's role as an active ally in the Arctic and North Atlantic," Poulsen said in a statement....................

The National Weather Service warns of travel conditions to and from the Sierra over the long weekend.

.............The good news is hopeful skiers don’t need to worry about the trip up to the slopes. Although ongoing construction projects on Highway 50 and Interstate 80 in Sacramento continue to create a chokepoint, traffic conditions should be typical of a holiday weekend. Though travelers may hope to get in an extra day of skiing on the President's Day holiday, Collins said the area could see up to a foot of snow on Monday.
“I’d say that the best travel window is Friday through Sunday,” Collin said. “Once we get to Monday, that's when we'll see the travel impacts with potential whiteout conditions and heavy snow in the Sierra and over the Sierra passes. So conditions will get a bit dicey.”
Jeremy Carl--Trumps nominee believes in the Great Replacement Theory........
Carl says the Democrats immigration policies leads him to believe this..........
Trump tapped white nationalist Jeremy Carl for Assistant Secretary of State for International Orgs.
He called the Civil Rights Act an “anti-white weapon,” pushed the “great replacement,” called Juneteenth a “race hustle,” and compared J6 defendants to Black defendants in Jim Crow trials.

If confirmed, he would help shape US positions on global human rights and UN action on racism, colonialism, white supremacy, Islamophobia, antisemitism, Indigenous rights, and refugees.
This role defines what America stands for. Putting someone with this record there sends a message.
Today: Trump: "Greenland is gonna want us ... We are negotiating right now for Greenland."
He never lets go of what he wants.

USA TODAY NETWORK - Florida Feb. 11, 2026, 10:59 a.m. ET
Republican congressman Randy Fine of Florida has followed through on his promise to ask the the nation’s communications watchdog to "open a full investigation" into Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance.
Fine, who has represented the state's 6th Congressional District since April 2025, released his Feb. 10 letter to Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr.
Fine said "real Americans" were "outraged by the vulgar, indecent, and offensive content" in the Grammy-winning Puerto Rican musical artist's Feb. 8 halftime show. He first posted on Feb. 9 to say he would pursue an FCC probe.
"The degenerates behind it must be held accountable," the firebrand conservative wrote in his letter, naming NBCUniversal, which broadcast the game, and the National Football League. "... If they knowingly allowed this content to air, then dramatic action, including fines and the revocation of broadcast licenses, should be taken."..............
