January 18, 2026 Cover Story Weather Control
For over a century, man has chased the ability to control the weather. From early rainmakers to secret military programs and geo-engineering startups, it’s real, documented, and impacting tens of millions of Americans right now.
History reveals the inexact and potentially dangerous nature of the beast. Yet in most of America, there’s almost no regulation.
Anyone — even theoretically a hostile foreign actor — can alter your weather without your consent. Or even try to change the climate, for profit. In today’s cover story, we investigate weather control.
Guess How Much of Every Humanitarian Dollar the US Spends Actually Reaches the People Who Need It?
Appearing on a podcast with comedian Theo Von, Vice President J.D. Vance revealed that White House estimates show just 12 cents of every dollar spent on U.S. humanitarian aid actually reaches its intended recipients.
Appearing on a podcast with comedian Theo Von, Vice President J.D. Vance revealed that White House estimates show just 12 cents of every dollar spent on U.S. humanitarian aid actually reaches its intended recipients.
“One of the crazy things we all figured out, like the first week or so we were in the White House, is there was a payment that should be stopped, because the president signed an executive order to stop a payment. And this is like day one in the White House,” Vance said. “We were like, how do we stop this payment. Because somebody is trying to make this payment, and nobody knew where, like the computer was that actually wired the money from the U.S. taxpayer to this entity.”
“God…” Theo Von replied.
“The amount of waste and the amount of just grift in the federal government was off the charts. It’s getting better, but there is still a lot more I think we can find.”
“Who was getting, I don’t know, one person that was getting extra, I don’t think. Unless everybody was slurping off,” Von replied.
“I mean, a lot of people were slurping, man,” Vance continued. “You look at…So, for example, there are all these humanitarian programs that we have, where we send money for medicine, for food, okay? What I thought before I got in the government, what most Americans think is okay, so we send $100,000 to this group to buy food for like poor kids in Africa. Okay? And what actually happens is it’s not $100,000 that go to the food for poor kids in Africa. The NGO, the non-government organization that gets that money, contracts it out to somebody else. Then they subcontract it out. There’s like three or four middlemen.”…
Exclusive: Bombshell Footage Claims Judges Can Be Bought With Bribes in Ohio Immigration Courts
In exclusive footage obtained by Townhall, evidence has emerged suggesting that migrants from the West African nation of Mauritania are exploiting the U.S. immigration and asylum system in Lockland, Ohio, raising serious questions about the integrity and oversight of the process.
The footage includes allegations that some migrants are being coached on how to navigate the asylum system, encouraged to fabricate claims to meet legal thresholds, and informed — according to sources on the ground — that favorable rulings can be secured through illicit means. These claims point to systemic vulnerabilities that make the immigration system susceptible to abuse and corruption.
At the center of the operation is Patricia Golder, who, according to the footage, has turned the alleged manipulation of the asylum process into her business. Golder says she takes a portion of the pay given to the Mauritanian migrants in exchange for helping them navigate the system, and she claims she can bribe judges to rule in the migrants’ favor. The footage also suggests that many of the migrants involved neither embrace nor intend to adopt core American values, even as they access public resources designed to protect legitimate asylum seekers.
In the 26-minute video, the undercover reporter is introduced to Golder by one of Golder’s friends, identified as Cindy Reis, who says Golder helps Mauritanian migrants get their papers…..

Congress Reaches Deal on ICE Funding With Spending Package
Bipartisan funding negotiators in Congress say they have a deal on a trillion-dollar package to cover major priorities such as deportations, health, transportation, and the military.
The deal between Republican and Democrat appropriators comes after speculation about whether Democrats would allow funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to advance.
The $1.2 trillion funding deal combines four spending bills into one product of almost 800 pages and will come to a vote on the House floor this week.
The package’s passage would be the final step in passing all 12 standard appropriations bills out of the House for 2026.
Notably, Republicans have managed to get Democrat buy-in for the homeland security bill, which covers immigration and border enforcement funding.
Top Democrat House appropriator Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut said of the deal that she understands “many of [her] Democratic colleagues may be dissatisfied with any bill that funds ICE.”
She added, “I share their frustration with the out-of-control agency. I encourage my colleagues to review the bill and determine what is best for their constituents and communities.”
Democrats had stressed their desire for policy riders exercising congressional control over Immigration Customs Enforcement officers’ operations in the wake of Renee Good’s death in an ICE-involved shooting in Minnesota.
Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, the top Democrat appropriator in the Senate, also signaled her support for the package Tuesday—a promising sign for efforts to keep the government open after Jan 30…
Congress clinches bipartisan health deal
Congressional leaders reached a bipartisan, bicameral health care deal early Tuesday morning they hope lawmakers will pass later this week as part of a four-bill government spending package.
Alongside funding for the departments of Defense, Transportation, Labor, Health and Human Services and Homeland Security through Sept. 30, senior appropriators are proposing a crackdown on drug intermediates known as pharmacy benefit managers, or PBMs.
Lawmakers in both parties and chambers have been working toward reaching a compromise in this policy area for months after a PBM overhaul fell out of the December 2024 government funding bill amid criticism from then-President-elect Donald Trump and billionaire ally Elon Musk.
The health care agreement would extend several public health programs, including major telehealth flexibilities, through the end of 2027. It also would fund, through the end of the fiscal year in 2030, a program run through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services that reimburses facilities for offering hospital-level care in the home.
In a major win for Democrats, the deal would boost funding for community health centers to $4.6 billion for fiscal year 2026. Another provision in the package would allow Medicare coverage for multi-cancer early detection screening tests.
It’s not clear whether conservatives in the House will allow the health care deal to go through. Fiscal hawks are due to balk at the spending increases for various programs, and the framework is silent on many of the policies called for last week by President Donald Trump’s “Great Healthcare Plan” — including expansions to tax-advantaged health savings accounts and certain policies mandating lower drug prices.
