President Trump has kept his promise to seal the border upon resuming office in January of 2025. Illegal crossings are down significantly.
Four years of open borders under Biden resulted in millions of illegals entering the United States with no vetting or accountability whatsoever.
The result is a continuous pursuit of illegal aliens by law enforcement agencies such as ICE. There are also state agencies, such as the Texas DPS, which have worked with the Border Patrol to protect Americans from illegal alien criminals.
Texas DPS in Maverick County started off the New Year by arresting seven illegal aliens hiding in the brush on private ranchlands. Such a difficult task involved the DPS K-9 Unit and the Border Mounted Patrol.
The K-9 unit tracked a total of 11 miles to help find where the illegals were hiding. Of those captured, some of them were previously deported, and some had criminal backgrounds, including assault and being a child predator.

Securing the US from invasion is vital to protecting the nation’s future. The US Constitution gives the United States Government the responsibility and authority to protect its borders from an invasion, which is explained in Article IV, Section 4.
“The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.” Article IV, Section 4 of the United States Constitution.
Under the leadership of President Trump, the rule of law is back.
Although many blue states have been working against the US Government over the apprehension of illegals, Texas DPS has worked side by side with the Border Patrol to help enforce the law.

The unwelcome tentant was finally evicted.
This squatter was hard to bear.
We have reported here on TGP about the peculiar predicament of a Los Angeles man who has a massive, 550-pound bear living under his house for 37 days.
Now, the unwelcome dweller has finally ‘left the building’ — after being shot at with paintballs.
Bear is pelted with paintball shots.
The New York Post reported:
“Altadena homeowner Ken Johnson has been living with the massive black bear under his home since Nov. 30 when it began squatting in his crawl space. The “unbearable” roommate ruined Christmas for Johnson and had him on edge for weeks.
Homeowner Ken Johnson first became suspicious after noticing items around his Altadena property knocked over or damaged.”
Johnson was angry at California authorities for their failed attempts to remove the beast – but help was on the way.
“The bear eviction finally happened Tuesday after Johnson contacted ‘The Bear League’ — a group from Lake Tahoe that specializes in bear removal emergencies’.”

The bear that’s been living underneath an Altadena home for almost two months has finally been removed.
The bear’s whereabouts remain unknown as of Thursday afternoon. https://t.co/7eFtM1Nz4M pic.twitter.com/VF47KGYOxk

“’We heard about Ken, we felt bad for him and flew down and got the bear out’, said Ann Bryant, the founder and executive director.
The crew jumped into action, firing paintballs into the crawl space until the bruin had enough — retreating from its den. ‘The bear was gone in 20 minutes’, Bryant said.”

Bryant said her organization does between six and eight bear extractions a day.
“Johnson told The Post he quickly covered the crawl space with two layers of plywood and sandbags to prevent the bear from ever coming back. The Bear League also placed an ‘electric mat’ in front of the crawlspace designed to give a small shock if stepped on.”

A woman from Minnesota was killed by a shark on Thursday while vacationing in the US Virgin Islands after an attack that severed one of her arms.
56-year-old Arlene Lillis died at the scene of the attack, according to the US Virgin Island Police Department.
Numerous people dialed 911 around 4:30 pm and reported a woman attacked by a shark. The attack occurred at Dorcsh Beach, located on the island of St. Croix.
Fox News Reported:
A Minnesota woman died on Thursday after a shark chomped her arm off while she was visiting the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Arlene Lillis, 56, of Minnesota, was pronounced dead following the attack, according to a news release from the U.S. Virgin Islands Police Department.
Several people called 911 just before 4:30 p.m. Thursday to report that a woman had been attacked by a shark at Dorcsh Beach on St. Croix.
“Marine units as well as fire crews and emergency medical personnel were dispatched to the scene, according to police.” Fox News Reported.
Officials from the fire department confirmed that she had lost one of her arms from the shark attack, which resulted in her death.
There was a report that a shark might have attacked a second person, but St. Croix Rescue did not find anyone after searching the area.
At this time, police have not released information on whether the shark has been found or what caused the shark to attack the victim.
According to authorities, the investigation into the shark attack is ongoing.
A couple of weeks prior, a 55-year-old female was lost off the California coast. Witnesses reported seeing a shark with what appeared to be a human in its mouth.
According to the Coast Guard, the evidence was lacking in confirming the case of the lost woman was connected to the shark sighting.

Tim Burchett unloads on Washington corruption during an interview with Matt Gaetz
During a fiery appearance on The Matt Gaetz Show, Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) unleashed a blistering indictment of Washington corruption.
The latest betrayal comes as 17 “gutless” House Republicans crossed the aisle to join Democrats in a move that effectively hands billions of taxpayer dollars to massive insurance companies under the umbrella of Obamacare, a system Republicans have campaigned on repealing for over a decade.
On Thursday, the House of Representatives voted 230 to 196 to extend expired Obamacare subsidies for three years.
17 defiant Republicans joined the Democrats and voted in favor of the three-year extension.

Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA)
Mike Lawler (R-NY)
Rob Bresnahan (R-PA)
Ryan Mackenzie (R-PA)
Mike Carey (R-OH)
Monica De La Cruz (R-TX)
Andrew Garbarino (R-NY)
Will Hurd (R-CO)
Dave Joyce (R-OH)
Tom Kean Jr. (R-NJ)
Nick LaLota (R-NY)
Max Miller (R-OH)
Zach Nunn (R-IA)
Maria Salazar (R-FL)
Dave Valadao (R-CA)
Derrick Van Orden (R-WI)
Rob Wittman (R-VA)

Host Matt Gaetz pressed Burchett on why Congress can’t use reconciliation to cut spending and advance conservative priorities without begging Democrats for permission.
During the interview, Matt Gaetz questioned Burchett on the lack of progress regarding a reconciliation bill that would allow for massive spending cuts, including slashing funds currently flowing to the Taliban. Gaetz noted that while Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) has been pleading for action, the GOP leadership seems content to “beg” Democrat staffers for crumbs.
Burchett’s response was a scorched-earth indictment of the establishment:

“I think it’s a couple of things, Matt. First of all, it’s just the guts to do the right thing. And the second, the leadership is about leadership. I think you find that in either party, in either body. It’s about preserving their leadership. Preserving their leadership is keeping the status quo, is keeping the K Street lobbyists happy.”

The most damning moment of the interview came when Burchett addressed why Obamacare remains an untouchable “third rail” despite Republican promises. According to Burchett, the reason isn’t policy, it’s cold, hard cash.

“The truth is that Congress is bought and paid for. Let’s just be honest. Just while we can’t fix Obamacare, you look at… Somebody said, ‘Are they paying them off?’ I said, ‘Well, it’s not illegal.’ They’re just making million-dollar contributions to controlling Democrats in the Senate and gutless Republicans as well that don’t want to fix Obamacare.”

It may have been artificial, but in this case, it was not intelligent.
We live in a world where the power of Artificial Intelligence is starting to impact many aspects of our lives – and not always for the best.
Case in point: a Dutch couple had their marriage annulled after the person officiating used a ChatGPT-generated speech.
Yes, you read it right.
The AI speech that was intended to be ‘playful’ but authorities decided that ‘it failed to meet legal requirements.’
This was announced in a court ruling published this week.

AI WEDDING VOWS VOIDED
A Dutch court broke the hearts of a couple after ruling that their marriage, whose wedding vows were drafted with the help of artificial intelligence, was not valid.

Reuters reported:
“The pair from the city of Zwolle, whose names were redacted from the January 5 decision under Dutch privacy rules, argued that they had intended to marry regardless of whether the right wording was used when they took their vows.
According to the decision, the person officiating their ceremony last April 19 asked whether they would ‘continue supporting each other, teasing each other and embracing each other, even when life gets difficult’.”
AI-image by Grok.
“The pair said ‘I do’ and the officiant declared them ‘not only husband and wife, but above all a team, a crazy couple, each other’s love and home base’.”
The Dutch judge ruled that ‘they had not actually sworn to fulfil their marriage duties’ – something that Dutch law requires.
“’The court understands that the date in the marriage deed is important to the man and woman, but cannot ignore what the law says’. It ordered the marriage removed from the Zwolle city registry.”

Thew couple is blaming the municipality of Zwolle for the fact that their officiant’s speech did not comply with the law.
NL Times reported:
“The Civil Code states that a marriage is official when ‘the future spouses (…) declare that they accept each other as husband and wife and that they will faithfully fulfill all duties imposed by the law on the material side’. The friend’s speech did not quite do that.
According to the couple, one of the guests raised the alarm after the ceremony with the municipal registrar, who was present to supervise. “We heard afterward that she asked the municipal registrar if this was correct. Whether it wouldn’t be better to repeat the ‘I do’ at the cake cutting. That should have happened, of course, but the registrar said it was fine. Three months later, after our honeymoon, the municipality called to say that the wedding ceremony hadn’t been fine after all.”

Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers
Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers pushed a demonstrably false narrative about the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good during a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation in Minneapolis.
Following the Milwaukee Bucks’ matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers, Rivers went on a sprawling, emotional rant, claiming that Renee Good was simply an innocent bystander “trying to go home.”
Rivers added that the Trump administration is “attacking Brown people.”
Rivers went on to lecture Americans about bullying, lying, and role models for children.

Doc Rivers: “What happened in Minnesota was a straight-up murder, in my opinion, and it’s awful. This lady was probably trying to go home, and she didn’t make it home, and that’s really sad.
The whole ICE thing—it’s a travesty. To me, we’re attacking Brown people, and I just happen to be Brown. And I don’t think it should just be Brown people who are upset about this. I think we all have to be. I don’t care what side of this thing you are on politically.
What’s going on in our country right now is absolutely wrong as far as the race stuff. The politics—I’m not going to get into. The race stuff, I will, and it’s just wrong, and we have to do something.
But the only thing we can do right now is keep speaking up, because it doesn’t seem like they care, and that’s troublesome.
Last thing I’m going to say, because I don’t want to stay on this—but I could. I keep thinking about kids. When I grew up, the president was always the role model. I think about that and the effect of being a bully, lying. How is that good for our kids? That worries me for our future. I’ll stop there.”

Rivers’ claim that Good was just a woman “trying to go home” is an outright lie. Evidence continues to mount that Good was not an innocent bystander, but a militant activist deeply embedded in the radical “ICE Watch” network.
Far from being a “mom who got lost,” reports indicate Good was trained specifically to disrupt, document, and resist federal law enforcement operations.
“ICE Watch” functions as a loose alliance of radicals who stalk agents, dox their personal vehicles, and interfere with the enforcement of our nation’s laws.
According to a report from The New York Post, Good’s radicalization took place through her son’s “woke” charter school, which prioritizes social justice and political activism over basic education.
While Doc Rivers uses his press conferences to spread misinformation and sow racial division, a 6-year-old child is left without a mother because radical activists decided that “resisting” federal agents was more important than the law.

President Trump may be about to launch a military effort to bring an end to one of the most evil regimes known to man in the coming weeks, according to a report.
As TGP readers know, the Iranian regime is brutally cracking down on protesters despite warnings from Trump, but the people will not be deterred.
Last Saturday, the supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei, ordered his terrorist regime to wage an absolute war against Iranian protesters, calling them “agitators” for whom there would be no forgiveness.
The regime is now on motorcycles, hunting down protesters and killing them.
Despite this, the protests have continued to expand .
Massive crowds have also responded by torching the Islamist regime’s buildings.

Now, The Wall Street Journal reports that White House officials are considering what sites might be targeted in an attack against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
According to the paper, one option being discussed is a significant strike on key Iranian military targets. Officials cautioned that no consensus had been reached, however.
Sources further explained to the Wall Street Journal that nothing is imminent at the moment.
For his part, Trump has said that the US is ready to take action to ensure Iranians achieve their deserved freedom.
“Iran is looking at FREEDOM, perhaps like never before,” Trump wrote Saturday on Truth Social.
“The USA stands ready to help!!!”

The biggest mistake the Iranian regime could make is ignoring Trump’s words. Unpredictability is perhaps Trump’s greatest asset in foreign policy.
Venezuelan tyrant Nicolas Maduro learned the hard way when he called Trump’s bluff.
