Many people have wondered: Why Minnesota? Vice President JD Vance, who visited Minneapolis on Jan. 22 to defend federal immigration enforcement, gave a misleading answer. “Right now, we’re focused on Minneapolis because that’s where we have the highest concentration of people who have violated our immigration laws, and that’s also, frankly, where we…

The numbers tell the story. As of November 2025, only 16 percent of…

Forest’s main focus this season is remaining in the Premier League and taking seven points from games with West Ham, Arsenal and Brentford would indicate they are on the right path. They currently hold a five-point lead…
