Former Special Counsel Jack Smith testified before Congress Thursday, doubling down on his Trump prosecution while Jim Jordan exposed FBI agents raiding Barron Trump's bedroom. Meanwhile, the DOJ subpoenaed Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey over a $9 billion fraud scandal as JD Vance visited to address the chaos. Plus, new details emerge about the Venezuela raid—a sonic weapon that left Maduro's guards bleeding and unable to move. The technology exists, and the message to America's enemies is clear.

Don Lemon faces DOJ investigation after livestreaming anti-ICE mob storming Minnesota church during worship—AG Harmeet Dhillon says journalism isn't a shield from criminal conspiracy. Supreme Court heard arguments in Wolford v. Lopez challenging Hawaii's gun law that makes concealed carry permits worthless—conservative justices signal 6-3 decision striking it down. Survey of 82 economists shows Trump economy booming: recession fears cut in half, GDP forecasts doubled, job creation up 31%. The left is panicking.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei admits killing thousands of protesters and blames President Trump | Trump announces 10% tariffs on 8 NATO allies over Greenland | Europe holds emergency meeting calling it "blackmail" In today's episode of O'Connor's Quick Strike, we're covering three massive stories the mainstream media won't touch:

STORY 1: Iran's Khamenei finally admits his regime killed THOUSANDS of protesters during the uprising that started in late December. He's blaming Trump for the massacre while Trump fires back calling for regime change. At least 3,090 protesters confirmed dead by HRANA, with the real number likely higher after Iran shut down the internet on January 8th.

STORY 2: President Trump slaps 10% tariffs on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, UK, Netherlands, and Finland starting February 1st—jumping to 25% by June 1st if they don't negotiate a deal for the United States to purchase Greenland. Trump says Denmark has "two dogsleds" protecting Greenland while China and Russia circle the strategically vital Arctic territory.

STORY 3: Europe has a complete meltdown. Eight European countries issue a joint statement calling Trump's tariffs "blackmail" and a "dangerous downward spiral." The EU holds an emergency meeting on Sunday. Leaders from France, UK, Denmark, and others threaten to suspend trade deals while calling extraordinary meetings to figure out how to respond. This is what happens when you have a President who puts America First and isn't afraid to use American power to protect American interests.

Trump threatens Insurrection Act after Minneapolis rioters steal ICE weapons and doxx federal agents while police stand down. Dr. Oz uncovers $1.8 billion Medicaid fraud across 8 states with California leading at $1.31 billion. FBI raids Washington Post reporter's home, seizing devices in classified leak probe. Three stories showing the Trump administration taking the gloves off against rioters, fraudsters, and leakers. Conservative news the mainstream media won't cover.

O’Connor’s Quick Strike – Monday, January 12th, 2026.

Three brutal examples of how Democrat manipulation doesn’t just divide the country – it gets people hurt, killed, and economically wiped out.

Story 1 – Career Protester vs. Democrat Rhetoric
Painter and activist Scott Lobaido has spent 35 years protesting, thousands of events, dozens of arrests – and he’s still alive. Why? Because he doesn’t resist police. Hands behind his back, no fighting, he battles in court instead of in the street. https://www.tiktok.com/@slobaido

Meanwhile, Democrat politicians, activists, and legacy media have spent years training people to see cops as the enemy. That lie helped push protesters like Renee Good into resisting – and she ended up dead. Who owns that body count?

Story 2 – Ilhan Omar’s Mob Hunts ICE Agents
Just days after Democrats mourned January 6 as “the darkest day in our democracy,” Ilhan Omar shows up at an ICE facility in Minnesota with a fired‑up crowd. DHS says the explicit goal of that mob was “hunting down” ICE officers.

No seven‑day notice. No serious “oversight.” Just a photo op and pressure campaign at a federal facility – from the same people who scream “insurrection” at their opponents.

Story 3 – Texas State Fair Fear Hoax
The Texas State Fair lost 400,000 visitors – mostly Latino families – dropping from 2.4 million to 2 million attendees. Officials quietly admit “immigration enforcement concerns” were a major factor. People stayed home terrified that ICE would be there.

Reality: ICE wasn’t there. ICE has never been there.

The cost? Roughly $680 million in lost economic activity and around 7,000 jobs affected. Small businesses, workers, and Latino families all took the hit… for a fear narrative that wasn’t even true.

The pattern is crystal clear:
Democrats manipulate, scare, and endanger the very people they claim to protect – then point fingers at everyone else.

Unfiltered conservative commentary and fearless political analysis from John O’Connor.

Hold the line, Patriots. Unapologetically.

A woman tries to run over an ICE agent in Minneapolis, and Tim Walz calls for protests against federal law enforcement. Five GOP senators—including Josh Hawley—vote to limit Trump's authority after his Venezuela victory. Plus: $700 million in cash smuggled through Minneapolis airport by Somali couriers, money from fraud schemes going to terrorist-controlled areas, while Walz and Biden did nothing. Three stories exposing Democrat failures and Republican betrayal.

Trump launches the largest immigration operation in history—2,000 federal agents deployed to Minneapolis. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem personally arrests murderers in tactical vest while investigating Minnesota's billion-dollar daycare fraud scandal. Tim Walz drops his reelection bid but vows to stay and "go after Republicans" as Gavin Newsom praises him. Democrats hold their fifth J6 anniversary theater with Jamie Raskin comparing Trump officials to Batman villains while GOP ignores them completely.

Somalia—the world's #1 failed state—just took over the UN Security Council presidency while we're paying billions to fund this circus. Iran's regime is collapsing as protests enter day 5 with at least 6 dead and government buildings torched. Trump launched Freedom 250, celebrating America's 250th birthday with the biggest patriotic events in our history. The media won't tell you these stories. We will. O'Connor's Quick Strike delivers unfiltered conservative truth.
