Good morning. It’s Sunday, January 26.

President Donald Trump indicated Saturday that he would like to “just clean out” Gaza and send the bombed-out Palestinian refugees from there to neighboring Middle Eastern nations.

During an extended question-and-answer on Air Force One, President Trump floated the idea of moving Palestinians to create a clean slate.

“I’d like Egypt to take people,” the president said, the AP reports, adding, “You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing and say, ‘You know, it’s over.’”

Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro will not allow planes from the United States carrying migrants on deportation flights to land in the country, he said in a post on X in the early hours of Sunday morning.

“The U.S. cannot treat Colombian migrants as criminals,” Petro wrote in the post, adding that the government in Washington should develop a protocol that “treats migrants with dignity.”

Petro’s comments add to the growing chorus of discontent in Latin America over planned mass deportations by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Vice President JD Vance appeared on Face The Nation for his first TV interview since being sworn into office and shined as one would expect despite an expectedly hostile Margaret Brennan.

Brennan was part of the CBS drive-by tag team with former partner in crime Norah O’Donnell, who rigged the VP debate in October against Vance’s promise to remain neutral. Despite this, Vance still embarrassed Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

Brennan and Vance discussed several issues throughout their interview including cabinet nominations, immigration, disaster relief, and the J6 pardons. Brennan consistently found herself outmatched by the brilliant Vance as her gotcha questions consistently backfired.

President Trump said Saturday he is considering sending nearly 90,000 newly hired Internal Revenue Service agents to guard the southern border, just days after he issued an indefinite hiring freeze on the federal agency.

The 47th Commander-in-Chief told a boisterous crowd of supporters that he could also fire the IRS employees, many of whom had salaries funded by $72 billion provided for the federal agency under the Inflation Reduction Act.

“They hired, or tried to hire, 88,000 workers to go after you and we’re in the process of developing a plan to either terminate all of them, or maybe we’ll move them to the border,” he said during a rally at Circa Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.

Border Czar Tom Homan recently sat down with ABC News host Martha Raddatz to discuss the Trump Administration’s plans to deport illegal aliens and, for the first time in history, use military flights to take illegals out of the country.

Homan agreed that ICE’s efforts to deport illegal aliens using military flights going south of the border will be a “constant commitment from the US military, every single day.”

This is a major departure from the Biden Regime’s policy of acting as a traveling agency by processing illegal aliens at “regional processing centers” in South America and flying them into the United States. Early last year, the Biden Regime admitted to facilitating the entry of approximately 320,000 illegal aliens into at least 43 different airports in the US in 2023 alone.

US President Donald Trump has withdrawn from the OECD global corporate tax treaty via an executive order issued on Monday, declaring that the agreement has “no force or effect” in the United States. The move threatens global tax cooperation and could derail a historic effort to reform international tax rules.

The treaty, announced in October 2021, was signed by 140 countries representing over 90% of global GDP, including major economies such as China, the UK, Germany, France, Japan, and Türkiye. It aimed to impose a minimum 15% tax rate on multinational corporations with global revenues exceeding €750 million ($780.5 million), such as Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta (Facebook), starting in 2024.

The OECD estimated that the agreement would generate between $17 billion and $32 billion in additional global tax revenue, with the largest benefits expected for low- and middle-income countries.

The FBI says an arrest has been made in connection to the fatal shooting death of a U.S. Border Patrol agent who was from Minnesota.

On Friday, FBI Albany announced a 21-year-old woman from Washington state, Teresa Youngblut, was arrested in David “Chris” Maland’s death in Vermont.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Vermont has since charged Youngblut with assault on a federal law enforcement officer.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration shut down a highly trained, all-volunteer team of certified firefighters in early 2024—a move that rendered the California National Guard incapable of sending a complete firefighting force to Los Angeles until 10 days after the deadly fires broke out in the city, the Washington Free Beacon has reported.

Launched in 2020, Team Blaze was an on-call strike force staffed entirely with certified firefighters of the California State Guard, a volunteer militia force that reports directly to Gov. Gavin Newsom. Former State Guard commanding general Jay Coggan said its members attended regular trainings at their own expense, and an outside charity procured much of the team’s firefighting equipment at no cost to the state. California was obligated to pay Team Blaze only when the unit was activated to fight a wildfire, and by 2023 Coggan had plans to expand its ranks to 1,000 certified volunteer firefighters on standby all across the state.

But in January 2024, the Newsom administration disbanded Team Blaze after barring its charitable benefactor from providing free firefighting equipment to its volunteers. Team Blaze had to return its equipment to the state and many of its firefighters quit, while those that remained were transferred to support a separate state initiative called Task Force Rattlesnake, a senior enlisted leader in the California State Guard told the Free Beacon.
