AMERICAN HISTORY: On January 8, 1790, President George Washington delivered to Congress the first State of the Union address in American history. This address presented defense, foreign policy, economic, education, and immigration related topics to gathered representatives and senators in Federal Hall, New York City. This speech satisfied Article II, Section 3, Clause 1, of the U.S. Constitution, which states that the president “shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.”

ASTROTURF: [34:32] – Less than 12 hours after Maduro’s capture, protesters hit the streets in New York City, carrying professionally printed signs and knowing less than nothing about why they were there. Nate Friedman was on the scene, exposing once again how fake these events are.
EDUCATION: [9:53] – When Trump took office, he signed executive orders barring federal funding from organizations involved in DEI. In the video, undercover journalists show an Arizona State University staff member explaining how ASU still has a DEI office and that their DEI curricula have not changed.

MAMDANI: At Zohran Mamdani’s inauguration, he declared, “We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.” But history shows that collectivism never truly warms a society; it feeds on it. People aren’t invited to gather around the fire — they’re volunteered as fuel.
The Tenth Commandment says, “You shall not covet,” which assumes the legitimacy of personal property. Scripture never instructs the state to override that God-given boundary. Therefore, government-enforced collectivism is biblically wrong.

MINNESOTA: On Monday, the Department of Homeland Security shared emails from a Hilton affiliate in Minneapolis had refused to book rooms for ICE agents. This may have been in response to loud, midnight protests happening regularly outside hotels housing ICE agents. The Hilton corporation said this was not a company policy, but rather actions of a single, independently-owned hotel, one that is no longer associated with Hilton. The hotel has apologized.

USCIS: [4:00] – On January 5, 2026, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced it has revised the naturalization tests that all applicants must pass to officially become citizens. “During the civics test, you will answer important questions about American history, U.S. government, and civics,” the agency said. Here’s a thought: How about our own kids have to pass these tests before they can get a high school diploma?
