The Morning Report — 1/8/26

Good morning kids. The top story is of course not only the justified taking out of what can only be described as a domestic terrorist behind the wheel of an automobile as she attempted to mow down ICE agents in Minneapolis, but of the truly insane, heinous and altogether completely predictable reaction of the Anti-American Left and its heart of darkness in the Democrat Party. The Projection and incandescent chutzpocrisy to blame President Trump and ICE for doing their duty in rounding up and deporting illegal aliens while at the same time encouraging and praising violent attacks on ICE and police is off the charts infuriating.

Yesterday at 2:22PM, Ace himself said

It's time for Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act.

Considering that this is a "Smart Military Blog ™" and that many of you are smart military people and/or just smart people, You know full well what he is referring to, but for the sake of clarity, this is what it states:

The Insurrection Act is a U.S. federal law passed in 1807 that originally authorized the president of the United States to deploy “such part of the land or naval force of the United States” that the president deems necessary to suppress an insurrection or to enable the local enforcement of federal or state laws. The act thereby expanded the president’s existing authority—under the Militia Acts of 1792 and 1795—to employ state militias to repel invasions or to enforce federal laws. The original text of the Insurrection Act is: individual state or territory, where it is lawful for the President of the United States to call forth the militia for the purpose of suppressing such insurrection, or of causing the laws to be duly executed, it shall be lawful for him to employ, for the same purposes, such part of the land or naval force of the United States, as shall be judged necessary, having first observed all the pre-requisites of the law in that respect.

Psaki-Psircling back to the chutzpocrisy of the Left, considering what happened at the Capitol 5 years ago this past Tuesday, imagine the nightmare scenario if God-forbid Hillary Clinton had been President. There is no doubt that Ashli Babbitt and Roseanne Boyland would've been two among dozens or scores of Americans whose bodies would've been stacked like cordwood, and the Republican lawmakers and others rounded up and arrested for fomenting insurrection.

That said, President Trump would be completely justified in his invocation of that act. And now given the fact that the pederast criminal governor Walz is contemplating calling up the National Guard to essentially do what that now ventilated asshole in the car attempted to do and that is form a skirmish line to open fire on ICE agents to stop them from doing their sworn duty.

I think at some point, and very soon, President Trump is going to have to go before the American people to address this very dangerous and explosive situation before things get out of hand if indeed we've already blown past that warning sign. What happened is not the first incident of this kind as attacks on ICE and Police have been through the roof this past year.

What I would like to see is the President hold a nationally televised ceremony to to award the Ice agents who took this terrorist down some sort of medal of valor. Hopefully before the left turns the ventilated terrorist into the next George Floyd/Horst Wessel.

That and declare total war on all organized and individual acts of anti-law enforcement insurrectionists. And as Ace suggested if the insurrection act is invoked. It's high time to decapitate the head of the snake — The Democrat National Committee and anyone who publicly foments, and approves of any assault on any law enforcement officer, national or local. It's terrorism straight up. It must be crushed. Whatever dangers there may be politically in the near or long term, the danger to our civil society is real and it is mortal Doing nothing will be one of the final signposts on the road to America's extinction as it was founded.

This madness ends now, or ultimately it ends us.

The Insurrection Proclamation: Trump issued it eight months ago. Governors called it an immigration order.
When you review the eight-month timeline you recognize what most ‘experts’ miss. The April 28 EO satisfied every Section 334 requirement.
It designated sanctuary conduct as insurrection. It provided formal notification. It established consequences. It granted eight months to comply.
Compliance never arrived. California and New York passed laws shielding criminal networks. Illinois officials threatened to prosecute ICE agents. Multiple states coordinated legal defenses against federal authority.
Courts blocked every standard enforcement attempt. They certified that ordinary measures have become impracticable.

Have a great day.

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.

Homeland Security posted to X, “Today, ICE officers in Minneapolis were conducting targeted operations when rioters began blocking ICE officers and one of these violent rioters weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them—an act of domestic terrorism.”

Schumer also said that while he wouldn’t get ahead of the relevant committees and subcommittees as to whether the Department of Homeland Security budget should have more constraints on ICE, “I’m appalled by what they do. I have repeatedly voted for many different restrictions on ICE and the FBI, and I believe that the committee will consider it in a very serious way.”
Schumer: ICE Agents ‘Don’t Belong in Our Cities’, Need an Investigation of Minneapolis Shooting (Illegal alien criminal invaders don't belong in our cities, and you don't belong on this side of the grass you bastard jjs)
Months of incendiary rhetoric, coupled with Democrats’ immediate assumption of wrongdoing, have turned ICE agents’ enforcement duties into life-threatening situations. Labeling likely defensive actions as “murder” or “heinous killings” provides moral cover for further attacks.

I am suggesting this because right now it appears that NASA, the President, and Congress are all repeating the same mistakes NASA made in 1967 with the Apollo 1 launchpad fire that killed three astronauts, as well as in 1986 with the space shuttle Challenger disaster that killed seven astronauts. In both cases, there were clear and obvious engineering issues that said both the Apollo capsule and the space shuttle were not ready to fly, but the pressure of schedule convinced managers at NASA to look the other way, to place those scheduling concerns above fundamental engineering principles. In both cases, people died when the engineering issues were ignored.

I think here unlawful combination just sort of means conspiracy, in the sense that multiple actors are "combining forces" agin' the lawful authority. In anti-trust law, I see it has a specific meaning of two or more parties conspiring to restrict trade, create a monopoly, or similar.

41 Hungary at the turn of the 20th century had an excellent education and school system, that is one of the reasons a great many of the best theoretical physicists hailed from there. It was one of the quirks of history, the Nazis expelled jewish scientists in Europe - Great Britain effectively said “come on down, we’ll find something for you to do”, and many emigrated to the U.S.A.

An alternate history where the Nazis weren’t in power, with rabid anti-semites, could have seen Von Braun’s V2 raining down on London, except with nukes?

43 I think here unlawful combination just sort of means conspiracy, in the sense that multiple actors are "combining forces" agin' the lawful authority. In anti-trust law, I see it has a specific meaning of two or more parties conspiring to restrict trade, create a monopoly, or similar.

The upshot being it doesn't matter if the people causing problems are organized or disorganized, officially or unofficially. Whoever is causing the problem, the President is allowed to use the military to go stop the problem.

It's interesting that the Constitution really only seems to get expansive in its definitions like this when it's talking about handling abuses of power. If you want to act like you're outside the law, then you get treated like an Outlaw.

Note the difference in wording between 332 and 333. In the former, it's the President "may". In 333 it is the president "shall".

And also note that 333 mentions the laws of the State -- ie state law. If the authorities of state are incapable or refusing to enforce their own state laws, those that protect some right in the Constitution (like life or property, or trial by jury and all that), then the president *shall* act to restore order.

In the first hours after this happened, my ICE agent sibling said the guy shouldn't have fired that shot based on whatever scant info was out there. He's since seen all the footage available, from different angles, and has changed his view 100%. I don't think the narrative battle is going to be won by these lunatics because the video evidence is strong. The agent was in the right.

Regarding the ICE shooting in MN, even as I read the comments here on Ace’s post yesterday afternoon it became clear to me: we’re living in an age where truth really doesn’t exist. What I mean is this: Everyone watched exactly the same videos of the shooting… we all say the same things with our eyeballs. And yet from that sensory input even here you had some saying “that was an iffy shooting” while others said “she was trying to run him down”…. Of course the retards on the left (redundant) howled “murder”…. People see what they want to see; what their preconceived notions conditioned them to see

What did I see? A lady who FA and FO…. Impeding law enforcement, ignoring their orders, then speeding away (right in the direction of an officer no less!) is insanely stupid at best. FAFO

Nobody wants an active conflict with federal agents. But it's better than living under Trump's fucking boot and letting our neighbors disappear one after another.

The Minnesota NG would be under the authority of Gov. Walz this time. The Commanding officers have made clear they support their people (us). This isnt the Floyd protests-this is something more. This is Democracy and the Republic on the line.

THIS IS WHAT THE SECOND AMMENDMENT IS FOR. THE RIGHT TO HAVE A WELL REGULATED MILITIA TO DEFEND THE PEOPLE OF A FREE STATE. Not hoarding weapons in the homes of private citizens to be used against innocent school children or their neighbors in a road rage dispute. The fucking national guard to protect the people.

72 Morning everyone.

I'm still waiting for more news about the shooting in SLC last night at an LDS church, during a viewing for someone that died. At least two gunned down. Dead and six injured. Sounds like it took pace in the parking lot. Everyone with cars parked near the shooting couldn't access their cars, as it was in a now active crime scene.

I don't think it was a religious hate crime, it sounds like it might have been someone connected to the deceased or their family. But the killer is still on the loose.

73 I don't think anyone is wrong for calling for the insurrection to be put down.

But, consider two things.

First, without Congress to impose proper sanctions (unseating the Congresscritters from Minnesota, for example), Trump won't have as much (constitutional) control as might be needed.

Second, he will be going exactly where the Dems have said he would go for almost 10 years. He will be taking up ultimate executive power to crush a state. While he might be right (morally and legally) he will still be stepping into the role of "authoritarian."

We will have to deal with those two things if we want to right the ship of state.

The Europa Clipper mission, which won't get there until 2030, will confirm whether or not Europa has a subsurface ocean, and will measure all sorts of properties if it indeed exists.

It will determine the ice thickness, the ocean thickness, and also look for organic molecules.

140 Yeah, it is very frightening that the education system has been hijacked by leftist saboteurs. They have a mission, and it’s obvious a dumbed down populace is Job 1. And they are succeeding. Hungary showed how it was done. There’s no reason America can’t have good schools.

Notice the first thing the saboteurs go after are the “talented and gifted” programs. The very type of programs that produced a Johnny Von Neumann.

Excellence should be encouraged. Attention to detail. Punctuality. A broad based learning, rote memorization of facts, figures, History. Discipline. Etc.

All of those things are now excoriated as “White Supremacy”.

Can you believe that? “Get stupid, do dumb ass shit, or you’re racist!”

I’m old enough to remember when Civil Rights was largely about getting everyone a good education. The Marxists, socialists, saboteurs will not allow this any longer.

she's the nuttier one. (the kids are "Good's" from her previous marriage. her ex husband died and "Good" went off with this chick)

she's the one who said "I'll pick up the kids, YOU lead the blockade today honey" - knowing it was dangerous and her "partner" was not a very well trained Antifa.

she also has been charged with child abuse towards "Good's" child, burning with her cigarette

these are desperate, messed-up females. I have more to say on that topic, maybe later. it's about how I was wrong way back when I said "I know these people, they're a mess, they will be ineffective."

Ok, that is very, very, very interesting.
Not just that Trump has carefully laid a trap for the left.
But also, the suggestion that all of the fed, state and local (including the federal judges) "resistance" is in service to cartel cash.

If they riot today, impede a single ICE raid, the trap is fully closed.
Trump will have every basis to invoke the Insurrection Act, every predicate satisfied.
And legal review by the federal courts is barred.

Their ability to use emotions rather than intellect to accomplish so much that their reasoning skills have atrophied (also the Romans Road to Reprobation doctrine)

Trump has been successful in the toughest real-estate market on earth, working with corrupt governments, unions and unscrupulous competitors, lawyers and banksters.

Without Lincoln's call for 70,000 troops to march on South Carolina, South Carolina would have probably remained alone in its rebellion against the federal government.

With a standing army today, there's no need to call new troops. You just send in the existing army to put down the 8,000 national guard troops Walz commands (who probably won't follow his orders), and you make an example of the civilian government that led the call.

He doesn't address the fact that the second and third shot were through the side window. Or that the wheels had turned before the first shot was fired. He makes a small concession to potential prosecution arguments right at the end, but overall no real attempt to steelman his argument.

The problem for our side is this is not the "obvious justified killing" everyone is claiming it to be. It may be legally justifiable in front of 7/10 juries, but that's not what is going to win the day in the court of public opinion.

3.) Stole an election and carried out a coup

But she also chose to risk her own death.

All other analysis is irrelevant:
When you refuse to comply with the order of an officer of the law--even an unlawful one*--you are playing the Death Card.
Every law, every single law, is, when pushed far enough, subject to enforcement by death.
Refuse to stop for the sirens and lights when you run a stop sign? That cop can choose to shoot you dead.

352 Oh, I would say 2020 was when this should have happened. That was the year the Party:
1.) Released the illegal bio weapon they produced in cahoots with our Chinese enemies and sparked a global pandemic
2.) Fomented race riots in most major cities
3.) Stole an election and carried out a coup

By mid-November of that year, I think Trump would have been wholly justified in saying "this is an illegitimate rogue state, and it's a clear and present danger both to the American people and global stability. I am putting it down by main force and proscribing both major Parties. No current or former officeholder may run in the new elections we're holding a year from now."

The National Guard should have been sent in with orders to disperse or be shot. He should have invoked the Insurrection Act THEN -- and he needed not now needs no permission from Treasonous Insurrection-y Governors.

353 When Karen intentionally blocked the road she committed a crime. Now, its one she likely would have gotten no more then a slap on the wrist for if she had just complied with the officer's legal orders

When she put the car into reverse, but still away from the officers - here see increases her crime to the more serious resisting arrested, but still if she stops at this point she's like spending some time in a court house and getting a suspended sentence

But the second she put the car into forward with an officer in front of her she graduated to attempted murder. And everything the ICE agents did was a reasonable response

354 Good morning!

I hope that when they investigate the ICE shooting, they look into this gal's communications and finances. This was organized action on the first or second day of ICE's activities in Minnesota.

Yes, she was dumb and brainwashed.
Yes, she brought this on herself.
However, she was part of a *team* yesterday, playing her role of blocking ICE while others filmed (and did Lord knows what else). This coordinated activity to block and entrap ICE has been happening for months.

Noem et al, please use this incident to identify ALL of this activity, and to stop it.

It's constitutionally unreasonable under the fourth amendment because it's unlawful seizure of your life. Sounds quaint but it makes sense when you think about it.

I think it's the opposite. It's politically asinine to concede that. It may be morally or ethically smarter, if we lived in a world where morals and ethics mattered. But we have to win politically first to have any hope of returning to a polity where we have the luxury of considering morals and ethics, and approaching events rationally.

Right now, the only ethically valid stance is, Win. Every issue belched up by events is a battlefield in our new Total Culture War. And the day the revolutionary cultural brutalists start to concede the finer niceties of any hotpoint issue under discussion is the day I start to consider starting to do the same again, too. But that isn't today, and won't be tomorrow.

433 She was stirring up shit.

She had no right to do what she was doing. When the cops, federal or not, go to arrest you - whatever those orders are, you have to comply. You don’t have to like it.

“Get out of the car”. She refused. Then she decided to flee the scene. That’s not how this works.

Then she appeared to be willing to run someone over in this process. It is a split second decision. Cops are on a hair trigger, they have been for many years now.

Only a retard would provoke them in a life or death situation. It is possibe the “wife” was hoping for just a situation? A variant on the “Ghetto Lottery”. Stranger things have happened. Jus Sayin’

“It’s my fault” she says. Charge her with murder, then. Investigate. Follow the Networks.

The reason I believe it was borderline is I’ve seen dozens of of videos of similar situations where the law enforcement person just side stepped the slow moving vehicle. The reason I think you can argue it’s justified in this situation is because of the officer’s mindset where he did think he and other officers were in danger because of the multiple similar situations where ICE officers were injured and threats to run over ICE personnel.

Exactly!

As with so many viral videos, we don't see what led up to the confrontation. Reports are that this woman and her team had been harassing ICE all day - stalking, screaming, videoing, blocking. What she did was an escalation, not the beginning of the engagement. Context matters in understanding how each behaved.

450 Needless to say "refus[ing] to stop for the sirens and lights when you run a stop sign" on its own is not one of them. It's very similar to the case that triggered the original SCOTUS decision: felon escaping over a fence.

Garner is cold comfort when you're dead.

But, if you want to dodge bullets because the Supreme Court said law enforcement must be reasonable in their use of deadly force, you do you Mr. Flash.

455 JJ, you linked an article about private equity messing with oncology. I understand you’re having some personal experience in that system. I received my Oncology Boards about 45 years ago. I had little success in group private practice as I refused to model my treatment plans on economics but on what I considered best for the patient. Clinically I had success as a solo private practice for about 15 years, with many loyal and happy patients and families but I made about 30 k a year for myself. Most oncologists then were making 10 times that. There was no private equity firm involved with the practices around me. It was plain greed. And from what I’ve seen since, the greedy folks sold out to corporations for more money. So it’s not the equity firms at the root of the problem.
I was lucky in that I got out of medical school while Feds still supplemented tuition so I had no debt. So I could concentrate on care not loan repayments. Of course the folks I ended up not being able to work with/for had same background so that was not an excuse for them. Now folks coming out with hundreds of dollars debt, however, do.
