Trump to Dominate World Stage at Davos as He Rocks Global Order
U.S. President Donald Trump will address globalist elites in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday at the World Economic Forum (WEF) and set out the future of Greenland as well as the course, direction and speed of a host of other geopolitical initiatives he is driving.
AFP reports, “Trump is expected to dominate the week-long gathering of global elites at the Swiss ski resort, putting the transatlantic alliance to the test with his push to take over the Danish autonomous territory.”
A frantic Europe is weighing countermeasures after Trump threatened to impose tariffs on eight European countries regarding the Greenland standoff — though Washington has warned any retaliatory levies over moves to secure the Arctic would be “unwise.”

Justice Department to investigate ‘ICE Out’ protesters disrupting Minnesota church service
The Justice Department says the agency is investigating an incident in Minnesota on Sunday in which demonstrators disrupted a church service because they believed the pastor has ties to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The department is “investigating the potential violations of the federal FACE Act by these people desecrating a house of worship and interfering with Christian worshipers,” Harmeet Dhillon, the assistant attorney general for DOJ’s Civil Rights division, said in an X post Sunday afternoon.
She also shared in the post a video that appears to show the demonstrators disrupting the service in the Minnesota city of St. Paul in an “ICE Out” protest.

Minnesota Transgender State Rep. Leigh Finke Calls on Anti-ICE Protestors to Storm More Churches
Minnesota transgender State Rep. Leigh Finke called on leftists to storm more churches in protest of ICE. …
Leigh Finke said anti-ICE protestors must continue to storm churches until “ICE is out of our state.” …
[In a statement, Finke said] ‘Actions like this—nonviolent resistance in the face of government inaction or oppression—are essential. And they must continue until I.C.E. is out of our state, the administration is out of the White House, and dignity and humanity for all of our neighbors is achieved.’

Like Don Lemon, Our Entire Corporate Press Is Literally Just Doing Far-Left Activism
Don Lemon, alongside anti-ICE agitators in Minnesota, barged into a St. Paul church during services on Sunday. The group of far-left activists disrupted the prayer service, chanting “ICE out,” all while Lemon live streamed the intimidation of Christians in their own sanctuary.
It wasn’t a spontaneous operation, as Lemon explained during a livestream. According to Lemon, the agitators — reportedly led by Nekima Armstrong, Daunte Wright, and others — had planned what they called “Operation Pull-Up.” Before the church invasion, Lemon live streamed a monologue previewing what was to come: These activists “surprise people, catch them off-guard, and hold them to account. And so that’s what we’re doing here, and then we’re — after that, after we do this operation, you’ll see it live. And these operations are surprise operations, again I can’t tell you where they’re going.”

Trump: Minn. Fraud Deserves More Attention Than ICE
President Donald Trump argued Monday that ICE agents are facing outsized scrutiny as alleged billions of dollars in fraud in Minnesota receive too little attention.
He made the comments in a post on Truth Social hours after his administration appealed a ruling by a federal judge that put limits on tactics employed by U.S. immigration agents.
“There is too much media attention on ICE, who have removed some of the worst murderers and criminals in the World, people let into our Country by Crooked Joe Biden’s horrendous Open Border Policy, and not enough attention paid to the staggering sums of money stolen from the State by corrupt Minnesota politicians!” Trump said in the post.

Breaking reports from French posts on X allege ‘Macron irritates the Pope. January meeting cancelled‘
Former secretary of the Dicastery for Culture, Mgr Pagazzi reports the Holy Father’s refusal to grant a private audience to E. Macron in early January. The change of stained-glass windows at Notre-Dame is perceived by Pope Leo XIV as “a travesty.” To this are added the “iniquitous euthanasia laws that do not respect life even in its final hour.” The “detestable” climate, according to Mgr Giovanni Cesare Pagazzi , between the French side and the Pope also shows “the anti-Americanism of the French camp” according to the entourage of the Holy Father. The Archbishop of Paris will be removed from his functions as early as next September because “the cathedral is the property of God and the State usurps its role as guardian in order to carry out a counterfeit of the building and thereby a profanation”. A meeting between Macron and Leo XIV has thus become “almost unhealthy”, declared Mgr Giovanni Cesare Pagazzi

Another report from France alleges: ‘Leo XIV flatly refuses Macron an audience: an unprecedented break‘
For the first time in decades, a pope has refused a private audience with a sitting French president. Leo XIV cancelled the meeting scheduled for early January with Emmanuel Macron.
Reason: the “disfigurement” and “profanation” of Notre-Dame by the replacement of historic stained glass windows, as well as the “unjust” laws on euthanasia.
The meeting had become “almost unhealthy,” confided Monsignor Giovanni Cesare Pagazzi, a close associate of the Holy Father. The atmosphere was deemed “dreadful,” also marked by the anti-Americanism of the French camp.

Cardinal Zen: Pope Leo’s consistory a ‘very welcome breakthrough’
Cardinal Zen warmly praised Pope Leo XIV for holding the consistory, hoping also that organizational issues will be improved for June’s meeting.
Cardinal Joseph Zen has expressed his “deep gratitude” to Pope Leo XIV for re-instigating the once regular practice of consistories and being “a leader who knows how to listen,” while also raising some concerns about the influence of “Pope Francis’ ‘henchmen.’”
The return of an extraordinary consistory to the life of the Church has been warmly welcomed by many, not least by Cdl. Zen, the emeritus bishop of Hong Kong. After the last such meeting took place in 2014, many in the College of Cardinals have been long desirous of the chance to meet and discuss issues amongst themselves and with the pope.
Leo’s first consistory afforded that opportunity, albeit but briefly, and his calling of a second in June before starting an annual such event next year has been warmly received.
