President Trump absolutely should end federal funding to sanctuary cities — and not a moment too soon. What we’re witnessing across jurisdictions that openly shield criminality is not compassion, not humanitarian concern, and certainly not sound governance. It is lawlessness masquerading as activism. And the consequences are no longer theoretical. They are measurable, deadly, and devastating to American families.

Sanctuary cities have declared themselves exempt from federal immigration law. They proudly refuse cooperation with ICE. They release criminal aliens back into communities. They posture morally while simultaneously tying the hands of law enforcement. And then they demand billions of federal dollars from the very taxpayers endangered by their defiance. That contradiction cannot continue.

The Trump administration’s move to cut off federal funding to sanctuary cities and states is not punitive — it is corrective. It is a demand for accountability. If you refuse to enforce federal law, you should not receive federal subsidies. That principle is neither radical nor cruel. It is common sense.

The results of sanctuary policies are now undeniable.

Criminal organizations seek out sanctuary jurisdictions for one reason: they are safe havens. Criminal aliens know that local police are forbidden from cooperating with federal authorities. They know detainers will be ignored. They know political leaders will side with ideology over enforcement. That is not speculation — it is operational reality.

Federal funding is leverage — and it should be used. Taxpayer dollars should support cooperation, not sabotage. They should reinforce public safety, not underwrite defiance. Cities and states that want federal money should meet federal standards. That is how governance works.

Opponents will scream. Lawsuits will fly. Sanctuary leaders will insist they are victims. But the American people are no longer fooled. They see the results in crime statistics, overdose deaths, overwhelmed hospitals, and destabilized neighborhoods.

Sanctuary cities have made a choice. President Trump is simply responding to it.

Federal authorities released mugshots of dozens of individuals taken into custody during a major ICE enforcement operation in Minneapolis. Rapists. Murderers. Sexual predators. Violent offenders. These were not traffic violators or people who simply overstayed a visa. These were hardened criminals with records that made them priorities for removal because their continued presence posed a clear danger to public safety. And yet, that reality has been almost entirely buried beneath a single, emotionally charged narrative.

The national media has chosen to focus nearly exclusively on the fatal shooting of Renée Good during that same enforcement operation — portraying her as an innocent victim while largely ignoring the context of her actions and the purpose of the operation she interfered with.

Let’s be clear about something that far too many commentators refuse to say out loud: Renée Good was not a passive bystander. She inserted herself directly into a live federal law-enforcement operation. She used her vehicle to obstruct officers who were actively attempting to detain criminal suspects. That intrusion matters. It is not incidental. It is central to understanding what unfolded.

Federal agents were not conducting a random sweep. They were executing targeted arrests of individuals with violent criminal histories. When a civilian deliberately interferes with that kind of operation, the risk level changes instantly — for everyone involved.

But while the media loops the same footage and politicians rush to microphones, another part of the ICE story goes completely untold.

In recent weeks, ICE has conducted enforcement actions in New Jersey that look nothing like the caricature painted by activists. Several undocumented construction workers were encountered by federal agents. One individual — well known in his church community — was detained and deported after acknowledging his unlawful status. The process was orderly. Respectful. And notably, the federal government has already offered him a legal pathway to return to the United States.

In this episode...

Kevin dives into the controversy surrounding the Minneapolis shooting incident and the role of law enforcement. He's joined by KT McFarland, a former high-ranking civilian at the Pentagon, to discuss the US response to the Iran protests and the implications of President Trump's actions. Kevin also talks about the importance of supporting PreBorn!  and the work they do in providing free ultrasounds to expectant mothers. Additionally, he's joined by Dr. Kevin Roberts from the Heritage Foundation to discuss their new research on the importance of the nuclear family and how federal policy can support it.

The comparison that no one wants to make is also the one that matters most.

On one side are violent criminals with records that justify removal. On the other side are non-violent individuals who work, pay taxes, raise families, and are often handled with discretion by ICE officers who understand the difference.

And then there is the third category — activists who intentionally insert themselves into enforcement operations, escalate confrontations, and then expect law enforcement outcomes to remain predictable and risk-free. That is not how reality works.

If America wants honest immigration reform, it starts with honest storytelling. It starts with acknowledging that enforcement is not cruelty, discretion is not weakness, and interference has consequences.  

These are the ICE stories they don’t tell you.

The profanity. The contempt. The open hostility.

We are now watching governors, members of Congress, mayors, and even law-enforcement leaders openly tell a lawful federal agency to “eff off.”

Let’s be clear about what that means.

They are cursing ICE—a legitimate law-enforcement agency created by Congress and charged with enforcing federal immigration law, particularly against criminal aliens who are in this country illegally.

When politicians curse law enforcement, excuse violence, and rewrite facts to fit ideology, they are no longer governing. They are revolting—against the very citizens they were elected to serve.

America deserves better than being told to “eff off.” And the American people—quietly, patiently, and increasingly fed up—are about to answer.

There is a lie socialism always tells before it tells the truth.

The lie is that it is warm. That it is compassionate. That it cares more deeply, feels more tenderly, and governs more humanely than any system rooted in individual liberty. It promises cradle-to-grave security, shared sacrifice, and moral superiority—all in exchange for a little freedom here, a little property there, and eventually, your independence altogether. The truth comes later. It always does.

Today, that truth no longer governs from a palace in Caracas. It sits behind bars in the United States, wearing shackles instead of a sash.

Nicolás Maduro, the strongman who inherited Hugo Chávez’s socialist “revolution,” no longer presides over anything. He is rotting in U.S. custody, facing justice for narco-terrorism, corruption, and the wholesale destruction of a once-prosperous nation. The man who promised equality delivered starvation. The leader who vowed dignity enforced fear. The architect of collectivist “care” left millions desperate, displaced, and dead. This is not an anomaly. It is the inevitable end of the ideology itself.

Maduro did not consult Venezuelans when he expropriated their livelihoods. He did not politely debate protesters filling the streets. He deployed batons. He deployed bullets. He deployed terror. And now, fittingly, he is no longer the one issuing commands—he is the one awaiting judgment. 

Warm collectivism always ends cold.

A now-viral investigative video showing empty or barely functioning daycare centers receiving millions in public funds has exposed what many Minnesotans have long suspected — that the state’s social-services funding pipeline has been riddled with fraud, lax oversight, and ideological blinders so thick they border on willful negligence.

This wasn’t a one-off oversight. Reports now suggest tens of millions — and potentially far more — flowed through Minnesota’s childcare and social-services programs without proper verification. That doesn’t happen overnight. It doesn’t happen quietly. And it doesn’t happen without people inside the system ignoring red flags or actively enabling the fraud.

This scandal is bigger than one daycare center and bigger than one viral video. It strikes at the credibility of government itself.

When taxpayers are told their money is funding childcare and education — and it instead disappears into empty buildings and shell operations — faith in the system collapses. And rightly so.

Governor Walz may continue to spin, minimize, and justify his so-called reforms. He may insist this was all somehow unavoidable. He may hope the news cycle moves on.

But the facts remain:

Millions vanished. Oversight failed. Fraud flourished. Accountability lagged.

Minnesotans — and taxpayers nationwide — deserve justice, not talking points.

Walz may not want to fess up.

But prosecutors should force him to.

Every so often, a year arrives not merely as a calendar change, but as a moral summons. I believe 2026 is one of those years. Not because of who may be elected, what markets may do, or what technologies may disrupt—but because of who we choose to become. If we are serious about reclaiming sanity, strength, and purpose in our lives and our nation, then 2026 must become the year of what I call the Elevation Principle.

The Elevation Principle is simple in definition; but demanding in practice: start where you are—and elevate. Elevate your thinking. Elevate your skills. Elevate your relationships. Elevate your understanding of the world, of one another, and ultimately, of God. This is not about perfection. It’s about progress. It’s about refusing to stay intellectually lazy, morally stagnant, or spiritually disengaged.

At its core, the Elevation Principle rests on three pillars: knowledge basis, skill proficiency, and people ability.

These three together form the foundation for meaningful personal growth—and for national renewal.

This is not a call for elites. It is a call for everyone. You. Me. All of us. Starting exactly where we are.

In the coming weeks, I’ll be inviting readers to take this journey more intentionally—to learn, to grow, to elevate together. Because the truth is this: 2026 will be whatever we decide to make it.

The question is simple.

Will we stay where we are—or will we rise?
