If Trump doesn't do it in Minneapolis, he's going to be faced with similar acts of defiance in other sanctuary cities. I'm not sure why the declaration of sanctuary status isn't taken as prima facie evidence of insurrection or something similarly unlawful.

Posted by: BurtTC at January 15, 2026 11:39 AM (dGCAG) --- I totally agree. She had the ability to make a calm least-lethal decision and get out of the car and be arrested for obstruction when the ICE agent told her to get out of the car. From the phone video of the shooting officer, it's clear that he was not moving to get in front of the car, but simply in the way of the way she turned to resist arrest or at least momentary detainment. Good took it upon herself to control the situation when she decided to flee like she was Woody Woodpecker. That is inescapable. She may not have fully seen where he was--but that's irrelevant. She moved her vehicle with disregard for anyone's safety. All to dunk on ICE, perhaps. All as part of their lark to obstruct ICE Although, I don't think it was effective for accomplishing anything, I'm not going to second-guess the agent or armchair quarterback him. That's not what I mean by the calm unadvocatory, unnormative reflection that he should not have shot her. Posted by: Axeman at January 15, 2026 12:24 PM (Q4cxx) 65
Eh, Frey and Walz look like they are about at the end of their ropes. I don't think Minneapolis has suffered enough, yet.

If all the legal requirements have been met to invoke the Insurrection Act then do it. Everything that happens after the Act is put in place is on Walz, Frey, the MN government and the Minneapolis government.
Make that apparent. I still think there would some sort of horseshit legal stay attempted.... but if the requirements have been met there's not a lot the judiciary can do but piss and moan. It'll be ugly either way. But crushing this shit now before it spreads to CA, IL, NY, WA, OR and elsewhere is probably the only way to put this to rest.

Tired of empty threats. At the same time, I don't want to see action until Trump has addressed the nation and defined the problem with receipts and historical perspective equal to the crisis. Bully pulpit time, not press gaggle onboard Air Force One time.
-- I believe this is imperative. He needs to formally address the nation, and show all evidence he has, including video of these riots, to the American people. The Democrats want Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act. They want to be able to pillory him for its use and sell the people the story about his "dictatorship, just like the Nazis." His destruction of "our democracy." They're gonna do it if he moves in. He needs to get in front of it...with receipts and proof...on what's actually happening there.

However, perhaps the government could contract for some universal arm that can fit a range of cars that can use the electronic system in the car for a portable system like cops have.

The Insurrection Act would probably get applied with a couple of battalions descending on Minneapolis in a matter of days, a show of immediate and overwhelming force that will terrify IL, NY, MA, and CA.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison The fact that Trump is dragging his feet on Iran and Insurrection Act may be because both have large downsides for what may be a temporary problem. On Iran, you just don't strike willy nilly for a regime decapitation strike big enough to eliminate most of the mullah's support troops. Something this big requires prep similar to the Gulf Wars targeting Saddam. Very different than a snatch and grab or a bombing known Iranian nuclear assets. On Minnesota, the same thing, what happens with the clown show moves to another blue city or state like California, do you then declare Insurrection Act there, etc. Lots of legal issues and risks for going off half cocked. All the while that Scotus and the courts will delay, deny, and do other obstructive shit so that any action Trump takes is delegitimized to some extent. So, do we jump at the provocation? Do we continue the same plan, surge, etc.? We face the same problem as American Troops in Iraq. Posted by: whig at January 15, 2026 12:33 PM (WDjG6) 120

The Iranian rial is not simply collapsing; on the international black market today it's trading at 1.5 million to the dollar, and still falling. And reportedly regime figures are transferring all of the hard cash (meaning foreign currency) out of the country to their own personal stashes. When the military stops being paid, which could happen soon, the regime will be poised to fall with minimal effort. This started when Iran's largest bank failed recently; all of the other banking firms in Iran appear ready to fail as well. They simply have no money other than what the Mullah's are printing, and that has become worthless. Sadly, this means a longer period of suffering for the Iranian people.

Don't get me wrong. I'll accept federal forces mowing down rebels in the street and bodies piling up to it if the left pushes this too far.
I'll accept the strong-arm solution to all this bullshit. But I want Trump to take each step slowly all the same. He should win--that's not a prediction, that's an assessment. If he uses everything at his disposal--according to that one judge, even the army, he very likely will win. But this is an appearance issue as well. It won't "look like America". But the same can be said for armed insurrection. Tides Foundation cannon fodder seems to be pushing it that way, though. So yes, I will accept a miliary takeover of Minnesota, and the installation of a interim governor. Posted by: Axeman at January 15, 2026 12:41 PM (Q4cxx) 180

I've seen another path to collapsing the regime becoming apparent now, it's not as fast but has better odds of low risk success. The Iranian rial is not simply collapsing; on the international black market today it's trading at 1.5 million to the dollar, and still falling. And reportedly regime figures are transferring all of the hard cash (meaning foreign currency) out of the country to their own personal stashes. When the military stops being paid, which could happen soon, the regime will be poised to fall with minimal effort. This started when Iran's largest bank failed recently; all of the other banking firms in Iran appear ready to fail as well. They simply have no money other than what the Mullah's are printing, and that has become worthless.
Sadly, this means a longer period of suffering for the Iranian people. Posted by: Tom Servo ====== A book by F. Paul Wilson, An Enemy of the State, posits exactly that. The rebellion is successful without much outside aid other than mopping up because the money supporting the regime becomes worthless. Scifi but well worth reading and won Wilson an award from Libertarians paid in gold of course. Posted by: whig at January 15, 2026 12:42 PM (WDjG6) 182

Per Zero Hedge:
Stephen Miller, a top White House official, said Tuesday evening that federal law enforcement now has the resources to protect its officers and begin the work of “identifying, disrupting and dismantling the insurgent networks” hampering Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Minnesota. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) launched a large-scale deployment of federal agents to Minneapolis and St. Paul in early January 2026, deploying approximately 2,000 federal agents from ICE, Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) under an operation dubbed “Operation Metro Surge.” Posted by: Kindltot at January 15, 2026 12:44 PM (rbvCR) 199

This does not appear to be anything like the truly massive, citywide rioting seen during the Summer of Saint George.
------- Its winter (rather than the Summer of Saint George), and winter in Minnesota is cold as hell. That alone will do a lot to keep the crowds down. I've probably spent a couple of months total in Minnesota during the winter (accumulated a week at a time during a previous job) and I wouldn't wish it upon anyone. Seriously, if the Swedish Bikini team wintered in Minnesota I still wouldn't want to be there during the winter. COLD COLD COLD COLD! Posted by: Crusader at January 15, 2026 12:54 PM (TN0g+) 247

If Iran wins and is allowed to continue to impose Islamic law on a population which clearly rejects it's tenets, then the West is lost. England, Canada, Australia, France already bowing to Islam alllwing Sharia courts and dismissing things like rape, incest, honor killing s as cultural norms. Creating no go zones where Islam is supreme to country Law. Even here. Islam is an existential threat and those of you who think it is none of our business are wrong. Very wrong.

Maybe you haven’t noticed, but Trump is scrupulous about following the law, even BS from the rebel judges.
If he pulls the trigger, it will be by the book, with all the required notice (that began as soon as he took office). It won’t be rushed because some of us want immediacy, rather than properly timed action and results. Jeez, guys. It’s been a great 11 months, with unimaginably good results. And not even two weeks since he rick-rolled Maduro. Hide your lighter fluid, take a deep breath, sit back and enjoy the show. We are living in history.

I'll throw in a gratuitous prediction. If we lose the midterms and in the final analysis Trump falls short of main MAGA goals, i.e., deportations grind to a halt or judicial tyranny is never really addressed and we're still seeking redress from the Supreme Court on key decisions, a hardcore populist candidate, a sort of MAGA-on-steroids figure, will emerge to challenge Vance. No idea who that might be, but it will be someone to make Trump look moderate.

It’s 1983 all over again. The Pershing 2s and GLCMs got deployed to Europe and the Euro Left THREW A FIT (in many cases aided and abetted by the KGB). But…they were dealt with by the cops and otherwise ignored.
Trump needs to know and understand that we voted for throwing out people who have no permission to be here, and that if the Left throws a violent temper tantrum, so be it. Invoke the Insurrection Act against MN and kick their asses. Posted by: Cow Demon at January 15, 2026 01:08 PM (0GYGE) 315
Easy answer to this problem:
Stop all federal funding to Minnesota till they clean up the waste, fraud and abuse, and repeal sanctuary cities rules. Make THEM do it. No need for fighting and rioting - they either sacrifice the criminal aliens or sacrifice everything else. Minnesota and a lot of blue hellholes are literally insolvent without fed money. And they know it. People in Minnesota are still required to file federal taxes. The state can't impound that money - if they try, then the state officials get arrested. It's that easy - no need to occupy the streets, just impound all their federal funding, every dime of it. They have a billion-dollar budget deficit - this will blow that deficit through the roof. State goes bankrupt, put them in receivership, and impose a federal manager to manage the bail out, and HE imposes the same rules you asked for - no more fraud, no more sanctuary cities. Any bail out is contingent on that. Posted by: El Mariachi - Attorney at Law at January 15, 2026 01:08 PM (tV890) 316
Once we take out the Mad Mullahs, all sights should be on Greenland. Oil from Venezuela will pay for all of this. Then, use the oil and the mineral wealth from Greenland to help pay down all the debt the Libturds have accrued.

Everyone was abuzz yesterday about Judge Jumanji's idiot babbling, but the wide Latina also made an ass of herself.
Andrew Branca says: Sotomayor insists that the Idaho law banning men from women's sports is specifically targeted at trans people. How does she know? THE LEGISLATIVE HISTORY EXPLICITLY SAYS SO, Sotomayor claims. Only to be shot down in flames by Idaho's Solicitor General Alan Hurst who informs Sotomayor that IN FACT it is REPORTERS who ADDED in BRACKETS the word [trans] in their REPORTING of the legislative history--the legislative history in fact NEVER DOES SO. http://tiny.cc/8lpx001 Posted by: bonhomme at January 15, 2026 01:11 PM (Yp6az) 330

Evidently, we have the same clowns (or their spiritual and intellectual heirs) setting the ROE as we did in Iraq.
Our losses there would have been halved if the troops weren't prohibited from shooting the little fuckers until one of ours got seriously injured. The fact that the entire area was deserted except for the one head 50 yards away peeking above the boulder was insufficient evidence that that SOB had his finger on the go button of an IED and deserved a bullet to the skull. Nope. Wait until he detonates it, THEN you can chase him. Water cannons and nightsticks, backed up by a platoon of M4s set to rock and roll.

1) get a fleet of black SUVs. Enough for 20 convoys.
2) Put heavily armed guys in them. Two cars per convoy. 3) Drive around town with the lights on. Go everywhere, into every neighborhood, all at once. Just drive around. 4) Arrest anyone impeding. Forget illegals - focus on the protesters and rioters. Make them have to be everywhere at once. Anyone blocks the road with a car - arrest them, have the car towed off at the owners large (expense). Make the whole thing a pointless waste of time for the protestors. Posted by: El Mariachi - Attorney at Law at January 15, 2026 01:16 PM (tV890) 339

The lack of response to the Floyd riots is one of the primary reasons why he lost in 2020.
That and the fraud of course. Posted by: Defenestratus Facts not in evidence. If Trump had lost a lot of votes from 2016 to 2020, it would have been evident. Trump's vote share probably improved after the BLM crap and not overreacting to it. You don't gain 12-14 million votes by not pleasing voters in your term. It is the only time that a sitting president received more votes for reelection and still lost in history. Meanwhile, Biden's vote totals and the desperate last minute stop in counting for six states indicates that his 20 million more votes that Killary was purely a factor of ballots, not people. Your argument says more about your preferences than it does about reality. Posted by: whig at January 15, 2026 01:20 PM (WDjG6) 342

337 Insurrection Act has to mean Walz and Frey and their advisors get taken into military custody so that civilian courts cannot help them.
Posted by: Jack Squat Bupkis ======= Even under that, unless the civilian courts are not functioning, they get habeas right to appeal in federal district court. And more than likely they would get it. Walz and perhaps Frey are well on their way to being indicted by the DoJ anyway. They are bit players, not the semi-anonymous heads of foundations, etc. funding this mess. This is more a situation for political siege warfare than blitzkrieg.

30 So if the cops aren't responding this tells me TPTB want Trump to use the insurrection act. t.
Oh, the locals absolutely want it, because they think the people will rise up in righteous anger. I rather doubt it, so let's see who's right. Posted by: Archimedes at January 15, 2026 12:17 PM (Riz8t) This manufactured 'chaos' in Minneapolis is a Dem op to create bad optics for Trump. Keep in mind the Dems are always prioritizing creating favorable/unfavorable optics for use on the webz and ABCCBSNBCCNN, The Dems expect the optics of Trump sending armed Regular Army and Federalized MN Natl Guard under the Insurrection Act will win them many moderate and minority votes this November and in 2028. The attack ad scripts are written. All they need is video of Trump invoking the Insurrection Act and of US Army troops busting heads in the streets.

Trump will continue being a pussy. Not very smart and wholly incompetent when it comes to this.Always no consequences. Does he want to end up in jail? They will likely jail him and his family as quickly as they can if he doesn't stop the spineless acquiescence It's not just being a lame duck Trump needs to fear.
