Unbelievable: Left-Wing Judge Dismisses "Murder By Use of Firearm" Charge Against Luigi Mangione to Spare the Left-Wing Hearth-Throb the Death Penalty
Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
This judge was known to be a left-wing partisan who had already made a series of rulings favorable to the Deadly Dreamboat. Now she throws out two counts he's obviously guilty of just to keep the death penalty off the table.A federal judge has taken the death penalty off the table for Luigi Mangione, sharply narrowing the government's options in the high-profile case tied to the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on a Manhattan street in December 2024. U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett ruled Friday that prosecutors cannot pursue capital punishment, dismissing two federal counts that would have put the death penalty in play -- murder through the use of a firearm and using a firearm with a silencer to commit a crime of violence. Mangione, 27, has pleaded not guilty to both state and federal charges stemming from the fatal shooting, which authorities say occurred as Thompson was walking into a conference in Midtown Manhattan. While the death penalty is now off the table, Mangione still faces two federal stalking counts that carry a potential sentence of life in prison without parole if he is convicted.Lefties Love Luigi.
Man allegedly posed as FBI agent in apparent attempt to spring Luigi Mangione from prisonMinnesota Man, huh?
The Minnesota man was charged with impersonating an FBI agent after he showed up at a federal prison in New York City claiming to have a court order to release Mangione
Another leftist achiever.
A Minnesota man was charged Thursday with impersonating an FBI agent after he showed up at a federal prison in New York City claiming to have a court order to release an inmate, identified by a law enforcement source as accused killer Luigi Mangione. Mark Anderson, 35, was arrested at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn late Wednesday after prison workers asked to see his credentials and he produced a Minnesota driver's license and "claimed to be in possession of weapons," according to a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for thr Eastern District of New York. Anderson also claimed "that he was an FBI Agent in possession of paperwork 'signed by a judge' authorizing the release of a specific inmate," the complaint states. The inmate is not named in the court document. "Anderson also displayed and threw at [Bureau of Prisons] officers numerous documents," the complaint states. "They appear to be related to filing claims against the United States Department of Justice." In his backpack, BOP workers found a barbecue fork and a "round steel blade" that resembled a pizza cutter. Anderson had traveled to New York from Minnesota for a job opportunity that didn't work out, and had been working at a pizzeria, the law enforcement source said.

Court Rules that Carnegie Mellon University Can Be Held Accountable for Taking Qatar Money to Permit Antisemitic Hatred on Campus
From the Wall Street Journal: a student is suing Carnegie Mellon University. She says that she was harassed by antisemitic Muslims, but was discouraged from filing a complaint.
She is suing on the theory that Carnegie Mellon discriminated against her because they were paid $1 billion by Qatar to permit antisemitic attacks on campus. A judge refused to dismiss this complaint and says that a "reasonable jury" may well find that Carnegie Mellon allowed the brutalization of its Jewish students due to the Qatar bribe. So the case goes forward.Eitan Fischberger
@EFischberger Newly unsealed federal court orders point to massive Qatari funding shaping Carnegie Mellon's behavior and enabling antisemitism on campus: 🔸 A federal judge said a reasonable juror could conclude that CMU's reliance on over $1 billion from Qatar motivated the university to accommodate donor expectations 🔸 Qatari entities helped fund the salary of CMU's DEI and Title IX coordinator, and the university was required to consult with the Qatar Foundation before hiring her 🔸 Multiple DEI officials involved in handling antisemitism complaints had work ties to Qatar, including trips, funding, or employment connected to the Doha campus 🔸 The court explicitly warned that Qatar and its affiliates could be a source of antisemitic influence on university policy and complaint handling 🔸 Similar contracts at CMU and Northwestern University require faculty and students to respect Qatari law, which criminalizes criticism of the Qatari government 🔸 Department of Education data shows Qatar is the single largest foreign funder of US universities by far, outpacing China and Saudi Arabia Academic freedom and student civil rights should not be contingent on appeasing foreign autocracies. Congress needs to take this problem seriously, fast.
Steve McGuire
@sfmcguire79 To summarize: Carnegie Mellon took over $1 billion from Qatar and gave the Qatar Foundation a say in the hiring of their VP of DEI, and now the school is being sued by a Jewish student who says the VP of DEI discouraged her from filing a formal antisemitism complaint...yikes.

Corrupt Jihadist Antifa AG Keith Ellison Will Notify ICE When Wanted Criminal Illegals Are Being Released from Jails
But he does have a condition: Minnesota must give up its sanctuary state illegality. Looks like they caved.
Homan says he'd like to reduce the federal presence in the corrupt foreign shithole city of Minneapolis, and who can blame him.
But he does have a condition: Minnesota must give up its sanctuary state illegality. Looks like they caved.
White House border czar Tom Homan announced on Thursday that Minnesota county jails will begin sharing information with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) when they are scheduled to release illegal immigrants who have criminal backgrounds. During a press conference, Homan explained that Attorney General Keith Ellison "has clarified for me that county jails may notify ICE of the release dates of criminal public safety risks so I can take custody upon the release from the jail." This announcement marks a significant shift in the state's approach to working with federal immigration authorities. Previously, they refused to allow local law enforcement to collaborate with ICE and Border Patrol to apprehend and remove illegal immigrants -- even those who committed violent crimes. Homan said the Minnesota Department of Corrections has consistently honored ICE detainers and stressed that any reduction in the number of federal agents in Minnesota would be contingent on continued cooperation from state and local officials. "As we see cooperation happen, then the redeployment will happen," he said.

THE MORNING RANT: Periodic Roundup of the EV Follies – 01/30/2026
*****
Park Your Electric Volvo Car Bomb EX30 Safely Away from Structures
Do electric car buyers find it prestigious to receive a notification that their EV is such an unstable bomb that it must be parked outside and far away from structures? I hope they do, because that seems to be part of the ownership experience for EVs manufactured by legacy auto companies.
Volvo is the latest legacy auto manufacturer to warn its EV customers that their product is so dangerous that it cannot be parked in a garage. Even worse, the range of a fully charged EX30 is stated at about 250 miles, but Volvo is now warning that it is dangerous to charge the battery more than 70%, reducing the range to about 175 miles, at best, in ideal weather conditions.
“Faulty Chinese Batteries Could Set Your Electric Volvo on Fire” [Auto Blog – 01/13/2026]
*****
Volkswagen’s Cascading EV Woes
As I wrote about recently, the Tennessee-built Volkswagen ID.4 is the slowest selling car in the United States, and production has been suspended. Though unwanted and unnecessary, the electric ID.4 was at least capable of fulfilling its basic role as a commuter car.
But VW has also been marketing another EV in the U.S. that is another massive flop – an electric camper van called the ID.Buzz that is an homage to the VW Microbus of decades past. But unlike the inexpensive Microbus, the modern electric camper van has such limited range between charges that wilderness camping is off limits. If you want to go camping in an ID.Buzz, the best place to do so is in your own driveway, since even in perfect weather conditions, the range is barely 200 miles.
On the heels of a statewide mandate requiring all school bus purchases in New York State be electric by 2027, parents in the Lake Shore Central School District are speaking out, claiming some bus drivers are turning the heat down, or off completely, in an attempt to conserve battery life on their electric school buses. The kids are coming home saying their bus is freezing cold and the parents are giving them hand warmers. “The heaters on the bus run off the same electricity as the bus itself,” said Scott Ziobro, a former school board candidate and parent who has children who go to school in the district. “They were told that it drains the battery capacity of the bus itself.”Meanwhile across the country in Los Angeles: “Electric school bus catches fire in Los Angeles, driver hospitalized” [KTLA – 12/10/2025] The header picture is the electric Blue Bird school bus that spontaneously combusted into a runaway thermal fire. Fortunately, no children were on the bus. Unfortunately, the driver of the bus had to be hospitalized. A short video of the fire is below. The high priests of the Climate Church are more than willing to sacrifice your children in such a conflagration to appease their angry climate God.
If you own a 2025 Volvo EX30, the Swedish automaker wants you to park your subcompact crossover outside due to a fire risk. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recently announced a recall for the EV after it was determined that some examples of the EX30 have high-voltage batteries potentially susceptible to short-circuiting and overheating. Thus, owners are advised to “park outside and away from structures and limit their charge to a maximum of 70% until the recall repair is complete.”

Don Lemon Arrested, But Not for the Sexual Assault He Was Credibly Accused of
Don Lemon's shit-eating grin just got 10% more literal.
Disgraced ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon was arrested early Friday over the anti-ICE protest that stormed a Minneapolis church during Sunday service, according to his attorney and Attorney General Pamela Bondi. "Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents ... in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards," Lemon's attorney Abbe Lowell said in a statement shared with multiple reporters. He was one of four people arrested by federal agents early Friday "in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota," Bondi later confirmed in a statement.A lot of J6 people acted as journalists during the J6 "insurrection." They reported, they recorded, they livestreamed. They were told that a claim of "journalism" does not excuse lawbreaking. Leftists, as usual, want a different rule for themselves and their enemies. They want "journalism" to be a Guild with Special Rights and Privileges and, of course, they want the power to say who is and who is not a "journalist." Only leftists may join the Guild and have these Special Rights and Privileges. This attempt to turn themselves into nobles and us into peasants must be resisted with all force.
Lemon spent the night in jail and is expected to make a first appearance in court sometime Friday, according to Brian Stelter, the chief media analyst for Lemon's former network. His attorney maintained that the frequently fired correspondent was there as a journalist, making it "constitutionally protected work."
Of course.
"The First Amendment exists to protect journalists whose role it is to shine light on the truth and hold those in power accountable," said Lowell, who also represented disgraced former first son Hunter Biden.
... It was not immediately clear what charges he is facing. However, Lemon has been accused of violating the Enforcement Act of 1871, which bans interference with certain civil rights -- such as voting or serving on juries -- or, in this case, the right to practice one's religion. Also known as the Ku Klux Klan Act, it was originally created to prevent the racial terrorist group from paramilitary vigilantism. Harmeet Dhillon, the assistant attorney general for civil rights, also said the DOJ was considering charging Lemon under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, a 1994 federal law that also covers interference with religious worship, as well as conspiracy statutes.Another "journalist" who took part in the storming of the church has also been arrested.
A journalist who was with disgraced ex-CNN host Don Lemon when he allegedly stormed a Minnesota church has shared video of the moment agents came to also arrest her Friday morning. "There's agents at my door," independent journalist Georgia Fort said as she livestreamed the arrest on Facebook Live. "As a member of the press, I filmed the church protest a few weeks ago and now I'm being arrested for that," Fort added. "It's hard to understand how we have a Constitution, Constitutional rights, when we can just be arrested for being a member of the press." At one point, a female arresting officer can be heard telling Fort to hurry up and come outside. It remains unclear what charges Fort and Lemon are facing over the Jan. 18 demonstration at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.

The Morning Report — 1/30/26
Oh happy day, the GOP and Democrats have reached some sort of funding deal that prevents a government shutdown.
Eh, if you read the piece, it's the usual political posturing, can-kicking and other nonsense that means more arguments and bullshit in the coming weeks. The big deal with this was the Democrats' insistence on the complete defunding of ICE which although demand by their bloodthirsty insane base is something that of course would never fly with normal American and so ICE will continue to enforce federal law in the rounding up and deportation of illegal aliens. That said, it's not just Democrats who are out of their minds but far too many RINOs are going along to get along, or otherwise are doubtless profiting handsomely from illegal immigration.
On the international scene, With a carrier battle group steaming towards Iran to presumably smother the regime with a My Pillow to help it achieve 72 virginhood. Closer to home, will the Caribbean island gulag of Cuba at long last be rid of the Communists?

Collins, R-Maine, said she spoke with Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, who told her the news. . . Collins hasn’t joined her colleagues Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, who have called for Noem to resign.Kind of a shocker considering Collins and Murkowski are perpetually joined at the hip when it comes to opposing President Trump and supporting far too many anti-American Leftist political initiatives, primarily abortion. I assume Collins sees that Downeasters have had it with their own Somali Islamo-Grifting swarm of locusts, and so her future ability to bamboozle them into voting for her means she has to at least do her best to fake being in agreement with them about this issue. Do the words of this half-mouli scumbag really matter?
"Breaking Bad" actor Giancarlo Esposito calls for "revolution" as a result of the events in Minneapolis. He says "millions" might lose their lives, but "the rest of us would survive."Typical. "Aux Barricades" fools. Go charge into the machine-gun fire while I stay here in the safety of my trailer mixing the martinis. I can see this degenerate commanding one of Stalin's penal battalions ready to shoot anyone who hesitates. For the glory of the revolution, you see! Considering these bastards want us all dead, this is almost laughable. Almost . . .
Anti-ICE agitators mistakenly targeted two Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents having dinner at a restaurant in Lynwood, California, on Wednesday evening—prompting the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s office to be called and engage in crowd control. The two TSA agents were mistakenly identified by unknown individuals as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, prompting a crowd of demonstrators to show up outside the restaurant, with several carrying Mexican flags and others carrying anti-ICE signs.In footage from the scene, several Los Angeles County Sheriff officers can be seen forming a loose perimeter around the dining establishment, while several dozen anti-ICE agitators blow horns, whistles, and wave flags and signs. Local reports indicate the TSA agents were forced to call the sheriff for backup as the crowd gathered outside.Meh. If they wound up dead. ICE, TSA, what's the diff? to the Left it would be "Message Sent." Back in Minnesota, this happened:
Mark Anderson, a 36-year-old man from Mankato, Minnesota, was arrested at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn on Wednesday evening after allegedly impersonating a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent. Anderson claimed he had a court order to release Luigi Mangione, who is accused of assassinating UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. According to the criminal complaint, Anderson presented a Minnesota driver’s license when asked for credentials and carried a bag containing a barbecue fork and a pizza cutter.
On the international scene, With a carrier battle group steaming towards Iran to presumably smother the regime with a My Pillow to help it achieve 72 virginhood. Closer to home, will the Caribbean island gulag of Cuba at long last be rid of the Communists?
The Financial Times reported on Wednesday that Cuba only has "about 15 to 20 days" of oil left, based on knowledge of its last shipment, which came from Mexico in early January. There are also rumors floating around the many international businesses and at least a dozen European and Latin American embassies are planning to evacuate Cuba soon amid the crisis, due to the "rapid collapse of internal conditions" and the potential for it to get much worse in the weeks to come. Some say they fear U.S. military intervention given what happened with Maduro.That would be something to see but I'd rather we here in America no longer had to fear the long dark shadow of Communism that is the Democrat Party. I have a dream today! Have a great weekend. And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Daily Tech News 30 January 2026
Top Story
- Trust no-one: Chat & Ask AI, one of the most popular AI apps on the Google Play and Apple App stores - never heard of it - that claims more than 50 million users, left hundreds of millions of those users' private messages with the app's chatbot exposed. (404 Media) (archive site)
The exposed chats showed users asked the app "How do I painlessly kill myself," to write suicide notes, "how to make meth," and how to hack various apps.
How could this happen? Did some brilliant hacker find a devious path through a rat's nest of firewalls and security devices to reach the servers?
Not exactly.The issue is a misconfiguration in the app's usage of the mobile app development platform Google Firebase, which by default makes it easy for anyone to make themselves an "authenticated" user who can access the app's backend storage where in many instances user data is stored.
Every message from every user was public. Oops.
And half of all iOS apps have the same problem.
- 404 Media seems to have fallen on stupid times, judging from the sidebar: App for Quitting Porn Leaked Users' Masturbation Habits, well, okay, that's legit tech news with a prurient slant. Two Heads, Three Boobs: The AI Babe Meta Is Getting Surreal is less legit. And I Replaced My Friends With AI Because They Won't Play Tarkov With Me is just pathetic whether it's real or not.

This may shock some of the most easily shocked readers, but it turns out that the pampered foreign communist Zohran Mamdani has been in office for two weeks and he's already out of money and will need to liberate more money from taxpayers.
Chief NerdFormer mayor Eric Adams calls bullsh*t.
@TheChiefNerd 🚨 BREAKING: Mayor Zohran Mamdani Says New York City is Facing a "Fiscal Crisis at the Scale of the Great Recession" "That means looking inward into savings and efficiencies. That also means raising taxes on the wealthiest New Yorkers and the most profitable corporations."
Eric Adams
@ericadamsfornyc
In case anyone was wondering, this was the real motive behind today's press conference. Mayor Mamdani promised a laundry list of "free" giveaways to buy votes, with no plan to pay for them. Now that the math doesn't work, instead of owning the fact that he misled New Yorkers, he's blaming me. Let's be clear: I left him over $8 BILLION in reserves. This is the same Mamdani who spent years attacking me for not spending enough during the migrant crisis. The only reason those reserves exist is because I ignored him and his socialist comrades who demanded we blow billions more with no guardrails. "Free" isn't free. It's just a bill someone else has to pay.
Eric Adams
@ericadamsfornyc 4h When you promise "free" everything on Sunday, boldly declare that millionaires and billionaires shouldn't exist on Monday, and by Tuesday you're scrambling to fund your giveaways with the very people you wanted gone just yesterday.

Will ChamberlainTiffany Cross is a very low-IQ black racist fired by MSNBC for being a basket-case and a liability. Of course CNN's Abby Phillip decided she needed to feature this Empowered Black Woman Racist on her failing show. Cross just claimed a few days ago that a "right wing extremist" had killed Charlie Kirk -- apparently she's a fan of Jimmy Kimmel, or, maybe, Candace Owens. Note that CNN routinely cancels people for dealing in "misinformation." But not here, of course. And she was back at it last night, this time asserting, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, that ICE is a "white supremacy" "militia" which is now staffed almost entirely by... Proud Boys.
@willchamberlain The most basic category error the left makes - repeatedly - on every police shooting is to characterize the shooting as an unjust "punishment" for the conduct of the person shot. They then argue that said person didn't "deserve" to be "executed," and so clearly the police officer is in the wrong. That's not what it's about. It's NEVER what's it's about. Punishment is administered through the judicial system. The right of a law enforcement officer to use deadly force in self-defense or defense of others is about the rights of the officer, his colleagues, and nearby civilians as human beings whose lives have value, too. They have a right to respond to the imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm with deadly force. And in exercising that right, they are not judged from the perspective of an omniscient superhuman, with perfect knowledge of everything happening in that moment; they are held to the standard of the reasonable person perceiving what they can from that viewpoint. In the words of William Munny, deserve's got nothing to do with it.
They want war. They will have it. Soros DA Larry Krasner to ICE: "If we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades... we will find your identities!"

That's WAY offside." *Abby Phillip looked concerned.* PHILLIP: "But Tiffany, you're just making a supposition here. There's no concrete evidence of actual Proud Boy members." O'LEARY: "Yeah, you gotta be careful here. That's WAY offside. These are men and women serving the government, risking their lives, serving the government. You're calling them Proud Boy militia, did you say that?!" "You're way offside, way offside." CROSS: "I'm actually not. But I think that there are White supremacist tattoos on their necks." O'LEARY: "White supremacist federal officers?!" CROSS: "Yeah! White supremacist federal officers!" O'LEARY: "Okay that's...where are you going with this? Why would you say that?!

As Questions Mount About Ilhan Omar's Rags-to-Riches "Virtual Winery," She Deletes All Online Traces of the "Business" That Supposedly Made Her Rich
David Strom:
By now you have likely heard about her rapid--as in rocket-speed--rise in wealth, although due to federal reporting requirements, the range within which her net worth is measured is millions of dollars, so no precise percentage increase is out there. But let's just say that in terms of rapid rises, Nancy Pelosi would be quite impressed. The commonly floated numbers are a rise from about $15,000 net worth to about $30 million. A major part of that growth in wealth has been the rapid rise in the valuation of a sketchy "winery" from a few thousand dollars to a whopping $5 million to$15 million, despite having (perhaps) released few wines and, in recent years, none at all. Its locations appear to be empty buildings, its wines are unavailable, and once attention was turned to its sketchy nature, all the information about it disappeared from the internet. It's a remarkable "success story," but one that may be as real as a Somali healthcare company. The money appears, but the product...not so much. It sure LOOKS like money laundering.The "virtual winery" has been scrubbed from the internet just days after Benny Johnson reported that it looked fake:
Benny Johnson
@bennyjohnson
🚨How did Ilhan Omar make millions from a 100% fake winery? This is insane. We investigated. Check this out... Illhan Omar lists a California winery on her financial disclosures. You can see them below. The winery name is 'eStCru LLC.' In 2023 it was valued at $15k.
In 2024 it was valued at $5 Million (!!!) This must be a very successful winery to grow that much in value over one year. Except... the winery does not even exist: - No phone line
- No physical winery
- Social media gone dark
- A barely functional 'website'
- No wine lol What is this?! It gets worse: Omar's third husband, Tim Mynett, has been accused of defrauding investors through this FAKE winery. He was sued by the investors for millions because it's all fraudulent. This is on brand. Minnesota AG Keith Ellison previously worked with Mynett, the same AG who has REFUSED to investigate widespread Somali fraud. How does a nonexistent winery jump from $15k to $5 million in one year when the company is a ghost? How can Omar claim this fake company provides her millions in assets? Seems like a cover. Ironically, one of the wine labels they made was literally called 'The Devil's Lie' The Trump administration and Republicans in Congress MUST investigate this fraud further.

Actor: I'm Willing to See 50 Million (or 500 Million) People Die for the Sake of the Worldwide Communist Revolution
This is an actor that I've seen people gush about, but he always seemed like a hammy, flouncy cheeseball and DEI hire to me.
John Nolte:Would he, though? In further news: Horrible failed actress Kristen Stewart, who can no longer land a role due to failure after failure and lack of actual talent and lack of attractiveness, says she's going to leave the US because, you see, she can't get work Because Trump. This is a lethal dose of Cope. She can't get a job because she has always been talentless and wasn't even attractive when young -- she was "nonthreatening" to female audiences -- and now she's aged out of acting. But whatever, it's because the Bad Orange Man is calling up casting agents and telling them "don't hire the slack-jawed whore Kirsten Stewart.
Actor Giancarlo Esposito crystallized today's Democrat Party by admitting he is willing to see people die to fulfill his revolution. This is a direct quote, per the far-left Variety, and these are the words of a narcissistic sociopath. Block quotes are Variety's...This is time for a revolution -- and they don't even know that's what they're starting. We have to stand up to it. They can't take us all down. If the whole world showed up on Putin's doorstep or the Iranians' doorstep or in Washington, they'd kill 500 or 50 million or however [many], but the rest of us would survive with a new [world].Don't you get it, you over-privileged, leftist dummies? Do you not see it? You bored, spoiled brats attempting fill the God-shaped hole in your soul by attacking law enforcement, destroying private property, and provoking violence are nothing more or less than cannon fodder to Democrat Party elites like Giancarlo Esposito. Read what he said. Read his own words.The rest of us. No you. Us Us would survive. You can bet he'd survive.
This is time for a revolution
If the whole world showed up ... in Washington
they'd kill 500 or 50 million
the rest of us would survive with a new [world].
Actress Kristen Stewart says she is planning to flee the U.S.A. over her disdain for President Donald Trump's America First policies. "I'd like to make movies in Europe and then shove them down the throat of the American people," she said. The Twilight star told the UK Times that she intends to continue pursuing her directorial career in Europe because she thinks she "can't work freely" in the United States thanks to Trump. She added that she shot The Chronology of Water, her directorial debut, in Latvia because "it would have been impossible to do in the States."What she means is that this is a zero-budget vanity project which she had to film overseas to keep labor costs to an actual minimum.
Looks like you're already doing that, and blaming your complete rejection by audiences and industry insiders on Trump's conspiracy to deny you movie roles.
Stewart also thinks Trump's thus far unrealized threats to put tariffs on foreign film productions is "terrifying." "Reality is breaking completely under Trump," she told the paper. "But we should take a page out of his book and create the reality we want to live in."

Surprise! Left Wing Uses Pressure from Below, Pressure from Above Color Revolution Tactics to Push... Comprehensive Immigration Reform
As mentioned in yesterday's quick hits, the "color revolution" tactics employed by communists consists of organized violent "protests" meant to convince the majority of the public that they're actually the minority, and that they had better let the false "majority" get what they want or else the country will burn.
Meanwhile, the "elites" of the communist movement scheme to pass laws that will appease the false "majority," pretending they are responding to a popular movement conducted by others. In fact, they're all part of the same psychological operation. The "elites" themselves organize, fund, and promote the so-called "spontaneous popular uprisings" and then trot out the legislation and policies they pretend they've draw up to respond to the "spontaneous popular uprisings," but in fact were drafted long, long ago. The "spontaneous popular uprisings" and the boiling-frog violent insurgency are executed just to give the communist "elites" cover to pass the unpopular legislation they always wanted to pass. It's an "inside-outside" game -- some actors pretending to be on the "outside," with government insiders appeasing these violent "outsiders," but they're all insiders. They're all communist plotters. Some are just assigned the roles of domestic terrorism, and others assigned the role of passing laws to appease the domestic terrorists. This is exactly the same "inside-outside" game played by terrorist groups, who each have their own supposedly "clean" "political wing." The IRA had Sinn Fein, Black September had the PLO, etc. The "clean" "political wings" supposedly have nothing to do with the terrorist wing-- but everyone knows they're working hand-in-glove together. Except for the American media, which pretends it doesn't know that antifa is the violent terrorist wing of the Democrat Party. Because they're part of the inside-outside game, too. So it makes perfect communist color revolution sense that the "insiders" are now pushing amnesty and open borders again, this time, supposedly as a way to avoid the further violence and chaos they're allied "outsiders" are perpetrating. Byron York:Read the whole thing. Andrew McCarthy talks like a fag and his shit's all retarded, but even he gets it:
USING THE MINNEAPOLIS VIOLENCE TO PUSH IMMIGRATION REFORM. "Comprehensive immigration reform" has failed several times in Congress. The issue is too fraught, too complex, and the parties are too far apart for a fundamentally divided House and Senate to pass far-reaching legislation. Nevertheless, calling for "comprehensive immigration reform" remains a safe strategy whenever immigration becomes a hot topic. For example, when the public finally caught on to the fact that President Joe Biden had set off a huge rush of millions of illegal immigrants, Democrats ran for political cover. Rather than demand that Biden close the border, which they didn't want to do and would also anger their activist groups, Democrats instead called for "comprehensive immigration reform," which made them sound like they wanted to address the problem." It was a safe harbor in a political storm. Now we are in another storm, this time over events in Minneapolis. And some politicians, including some Republicans, are again calling for immigration reform. In an op-ed in the New York Times, Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) proposes a "common-sense bipartisan solution" to the violence and disorder that have accompanied President Donald Trump's aggressive effort to enforce federal immigration law in Minneapolis. "Congress and the president need to embrace a new comprehensive national immigration policy that acknowledges Americans' many legitimate concerns about how the government has conducted immigration policy," Lawler writes. He praises Trump's record of stopping illegal border crossings and deporting 675,000 illegal immigrants. "Any balanced immigration policy would preserve and expand on this progress -- but humanely," Lawler writes, calling on Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Border Patrol to "reassess their current tactics." And then it will be time for immigration reform. "A realistic plan would provide a path to legal status -- not citizenship -- for long-term illegal immigrants without criminal records," Lawler writes. "This path would be rigorous and fair ... those who benefit would face mandatory work requirements, forgo public assistance, and pay fines and any back taxes they might owe." Would that work? One thing we know is that this kind of talk has been going on for decades. Multiple failed attempts to pass comprehensive immigration reform have taught a few lessons. The first is that Congress will not secure the border. Just not gonna happen. On the other hand, a president can do it, or not do it. Trump is doing it, but the next president could undo that progress at the border, just as Joe Biden did from 2021 to 2025. The second lesson is that Congress will not legislate Trump-level deportation numbers. And even if it did, it would take measures to ensure that its own law is never enforced. Back in 2006, amid another immigration debate, Congress passed the Secure Fence Act, mandating the construction of fencing on significant parts of the U.S.-Mexico border. The next year, it passed a bill saying that nothing in the Secure Fence Act required any actual fencing to be built. A third lesson is that when considering a "path to legal status" for "long-term illegal immigrants without criminal records," Congress will create a set of definitions --"long-term," and "without criminal records" and "work requirements" can be very, very flexible phrases -- that ends up including virtually everybody.

@AndrewCMcCarthy It has never made any sense that we owe illegal aliens a path to legal status. If people choose to come to or stay in our country illegally, why should Americans care that, by their lawbreaking, these aliens are consigned to live "in the shadows"? That's the choice they made, we didn't ask them to come. I'm fine with prioritizing criminal aliens for removal and not doing dragnets that drain resources to capture and deport every illegal alien. But that pragmatic indulgence doesn't mean we owe lawbreakers a legalization process. If you come/stay here illegally, then you willfully run the risk that you could be deported at any time. Your choice. Maybe you'll slip through the cracks forever, or maybe you'll run a red light and get caught tomorrow. Your choice, your risk, not our problem. I just don't understand why we should waste 5 minutes handwringing over a path to legal status. These are people who chose to live here illegally.

Feds Seize 700 Boxes of "Votes" From Fulton County, GA, Election Hub; Democrats Shriek In Fear
MXM:
Via Twitchy, Democrats are scrambling for a "plan" to #resist a signed judicial search warrant.
MXM:
Among the most scrutinized episodes cited by Trump was an election-night pause in absentee ballot counting, when Fulton County officials said a burst pipe temporarily halted operations. Trump later rejected that explanation, arguing the stoppage was used to clear Republican poll watchers from the room before ballots were retrieved from beneath a table and scanned without supervision. "In Fulton County, Republican poll watchers were ejected, in some cases, physically from the room under the false pretense of a pipe burst -- 'water main burst, everybody leave,' which we now know was a total lie," Trump told supporters on Jan. 6, 2021. He claimed the episode coincided with a sudden surge of votes for Biden and alleged that tens of thousands of ballots were processed while observers were absent.

AP: "Car Rams Into Chabad Headquaters In New York City"
If you don't know what a Chabad house is, join the club. My guess is that it's some kind of community center or charity. Jewish.
Which is why AP resorts to their favorite fact-obscuring tactic: Claiming a "car" rammed something, rather than a person at the wheel of that car. And the man who rammed the car into the Jewish center has an Arabic last name, "Sohail." So you'll understand Associated with Terrorist's lunatic choice to make the car the bad actor in this story.
Car rams into Chabad headquarters in New York City, damaging doors The Associated Press A man was arrested after repeatedly crashing his car into the Chabad Lubavitch world headquarters in New York City on Wednesday night while people were gathered for prayer at the deeply revered Hasidic Jewish site.
No one was injured when the driver struck a door of a building in the complex before reversing and striking it several more times. Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said that while it was too early in the investigation to speculate on the driver's motives, the incident was being investigated as a possible hate crime. "This is deeply alarming, especially given the deep meaning and the history of the institution to so many in New York and around the world," said New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who called the crash "intentional."

"Peaceful Protester" and Super-Hot Male Model Alex Pretti Seen in New Video Spitting at ICE Agents, Kicking Their Cars
Assault and battery with a side of Blue Steel.
That video below the fold. There's just so much peace at these peaceful protests.
Newly surfaced video shows Alex Pretti spitting at federal immigration agents, kicking a government vehicle, and screaming profanities during a violent confrontation in south Minneapolis on January 13 -- just 11 days before he was fatally shot by Border Patrol agents. The footage, obtained by the Minnesota Star Tribune, captures Pretti, 37, amid a chaotic street scene as an unmarked federal convoy moved through the area. Surrounded by a crowd blowing whistles and heckling officers, Pretti is seen shouting abuse at agents, spitting in their direction, and kicking a vehicle before officers move in and take him to the ground. As he stands back up, what appears to be a handgun is clearly visible in his waistband. Moments later, he is released and remains in the area as the confrontation dissipates. A spokesperson for Pretti's family and the family's attorney confirmed to the Star Tribune that the man in the video is Pretti, whose death nearly two weeks later would ignite protests. The video was recorded by The News Movement on January 13 and later reviewed and aired by the BBC. During a 10 p.m. GMT broadcast, BBC journalist Ros Atkins said the individual in the footage matches Pretti's appearance, clothing, and gait, adding that facial recognition technology suggested a 97 percent match. Atkins told viewers the video shows Pretti "shouting abuse at the agents" and "kicking a car" before being wrestled to the ground, noting that a firearm is visible in his waistband as he gets back to his feet. A BBC spokesperson later confirmed to Mediaite that the network reviewed and authenticated the footage using facial recognition tools.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are facing a surge in violent threats unlike anything seen before, according to new disclosures from federal officials who say hostility toward frontline immigration enforcement has exploded amid sustained political attacks on the agency. ICE officials this week revealed that death threats against agents and their families have skyrocketed by roughly 8,000 percent, while physical assaults on officers have jumped more than 1,300 percent, a spike they attribute to increasingly aggressive "abolish ICE" rhetoric coming from activist groups and reinforced by elected officials in sanctuary jurisdictions. One recent case laid bare the ugliness of those threats: an ICE agent received a voicemail in which a man repeatedly urged him to kill himself, called him a "fascist pig," and extended his rage to the agent's family, saying, "I hope your wife dies. I hope your mom and dad die. I hope everything wrong that could go in your life happens. I hope you have the most miserable life." The message continued with graphic threats and insults, ending with the caller telling the agent, "You are a traitor to the American people, to the values that made our country. You should kill yourself. You're disgusting." Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said the escalation is not happening in a vacuum, arguing that Democrat leaders who govern sanctuary cities and states have spent years vilifying ICE in ways that predictably lead to violence.

The Morning Rant 
Charles is off on holiday.*****
The United States of America.
What does it mean to be an American?
What does it mean to you?
What does it mean to your loved ones? It was fairly simple to answer those questions just a few short years ago. And deep down in my heart I believe the majority of people would have agreed upon the following three:
1) Life
2) Liberty
3) Pursuit of happiness Our country, the redheaded step-child of Great Britain rebelled. And that revolution gave birth to a country built upon guts and rugged individualism. A country built upon the rule of law, Judaeo/Christian beliefs and the credo of treating another as ourselves. Over the past 250 years our country has made mistakes. But we have always attempted to learn from our mistakes and proceed accordingly. It is my humble opinion that the United States of America is broken. It is broken and it will not be repaired in my lifetime. And if the violent left keeps the flames burning it may be replaced in my lifetime. Somewhere along the line, citizens and non-citizens alike have completely rejected the 3 principals mentioned earlier. Political assassinations have occurred throughout history. Besides the two attempts on President Trump's life. The most recent besides Charlie Kirk, to my memory was that of Minnesota legislator Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark Hortman.It was a despicable act, it doesn't matter that she was a Democrat.

“The harm caused by Boelter’s actions was not confined to any one place—it was felt widely, including here in Minneapolis. His conduct endangered the safety of our communities and undermined trust in police. We are thankful to our U.S. Attorney’s Office and all federal, state, and local law enforcement that have worked tirelessly to hold this killer accountable,” said Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara.
