Thursday Overnight Open Thread - January 8, 2026 [Doof]
Mr. Hockey's Bridge - Beauty, Eh! Gorgeous Bridge for Walking and Biking Between US and Canada Set to Open in 2026 – Allows Drivers, Too
20 years in the making, the Gordie Howe International Bridge is set to open in early 2026, providing the first new link between the US and Canada in many years. The impressive bridge with its graceful bending approaches is reminiscent of the signature ambidexterity of its namesake Howe, often considered the most complete hockey player to ever live, who could shoot both left and right-handed. The bridge also enters a very narrow company of riverine crossing points that are open to cyclists and pedestrians. “People didn’t want us to lose a unique opportunity to design a new international crossing without considering the incorporation of a multiuse path for pedestrians and cyclists,” said Heather Grondin, chief relations officer for the Gordie Howe International Bridge. Linking the cities of Windsor, Ontario, with Detroit, GNN last reported on the bridge in 2024, when the span was missing exactly the length of a regulation NHL hockey rink—pertinent.Hopefully there's a plaque or something on the bridge commemorating the unofficial "Gordie Howe Hat Trick" - a goal, an assist, and a fight! ----- Sorry fellas - I read this, so now you have to also! Man Inserts Live Leech into His Bladder, Suffers Excruciating Pain
A Chinese man required surgery to have a live leech removed from his bladder, after he had inserted it through the urethra as a traditional remedy. A 23-year-old man from Zhengzhou, China’s Henan Province, had to endure excruciating pain after falling for a traditional remedy he found online and inserting a 5-cm-long live leech into his bladder. It’s unclear how the young, misguided man came across this bizarre folk remedy, but what we do know is that he was so convinced of its “miraculous effects” that he went out of his way to find and buy a live leech.No, I do not have any images for this. You're welcome! How about a palate cleanser instead?
You forgot about that previous story already, didn't ya?! ----- This looks about right

Jimmy Page, during a 1966 recording session with Jeff Beck, John Paul Jones, Nicky Hopkins, and Moon, the group discussed forming a new band, and Moon reportedly joked that such a band would "go down like a lead balloon.
That is how Keef inspired Page to call his new band Led Zeppelin.

Six years ago from today (January 8, 2026) is calendar year 2020. Major widely regarded “bad” events in 2020 included:
* COVID-19 pandemic and global lockdowns
WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic on March 11, 2020; it triggered mass mortality, healthcare disruption, and broad shutdowns worldwide. ([World Health Organization][1])
* Global economic crash and recession
International institutions projected (and later recorded) a sharp global contraction in 2020 tied to the pandemic and containment measures. ([IMF][2])
* Oil market shock (WTI went negative)
On April 20, 2020, the front-month WTI crude oil futures contract settled below $0, reflecting extreme dislocation in demand and storage. ([Congress.gov][3])
* George Floyd killing and ensuing unrest
George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis on May 25, 2020; protests and civil unrest spread across the U.S. and internationally. ([HISTORY][4])
* Beirut port explosion (Lebanon)
On August 4, 2020, a massive ammonium nitrate explosion devastated Beirut, causing large-scale casualties and displacement. ([Encyclopedia Britannica][5])

I was never taught how to cath a male. In a different med center years later I was supposed to do this one night, and called my husband (who was an orderly when I was in school). He told me how over the phone.
The poor man was dying anyway and I think I might have sped it up a bit and kept apologizing. I did give him pain medicine prior, so I really did feel badly for him.

I tried to harm him once, thinking someone was breaking into the house. I did not hear the garage door raise and armed myself with a full bottle of detergent to "surprise" the intruder;s head.
He paused for a second, then walked in and told me this is why I will never have a gun.

We are at a tipping point. A whole lot of energy and money has been spent trying to avoid change world wide and not the sort of change the left believes in. Venezuela falling means Iran is on the brink, if Iran goes, that means Cuba is under even more pressure to fold up, and that puts pressure on both Russia and China.
Ditto for the Danes threatening to kick the US out of NATO because of Greenland.
Then you have the possible implosion of the Democrat party that has engaged in widespread thievery, voter fraud, trying to keep illegal criminals in the US, and many were on the take from cartels and Venezuela among other places.
Bessent is paralyzing Congress with the claim that easily over 600 billion bucks of fraud has been identified. Rubio just put the kibosh on US membership in 66 international organization which means more redundant federal employees to be laid off, no more sinecures for elites to put their family.

Adminstration already has fallbacks in law. Tariffs are the one thing that Presidents have always had the power to levy. There is also the possibility that Trump agreements with all these other nations about tariff levels make the whole dispute moot for most countries that signed executive agreements.
President is allowed wide latitude in such matters regardless of what Congress thinks.
Congress itself has covered itself in disgrace and a lot of the fraud is going to be traced right back to the Congress critters in office and their illegal financing of their campaigns.

"Yesterday, President Trump and Marco Rubio announced the U.S. withdrawal from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Today, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent makes the official notification to the UN.
The notification is important because the 1992 UNFCCC was ratified by the U.S. Senate 34 years ago, making it one of the first UniParty climate change pacts supported by the ¹DC business model.
According to the terms of the treaty, withdrawal from the UNFCCC requires an official notification to the United Nations, and the dissolution takes effect one year later.'" CTH
Once the treaty is dead in the US, it cannot be revived by a new president absent a whole new 2/3rds of the Senate ratifying it all over again.
That removes a whole lot of ability to issue carbon taxes, carbon credit trading, etc. as the justification is now dead for the US.

He's been using the IEEPA (International Emergency Economic Powers Act) for tariffing because it's the easiest. He can change tariffs several times a day if he wants. The problem is, the IEEPA doesn't specifically say anything about tariffing as an emergency economic power of the Presiident, but it's kind of implied. But if the ability to tariff under the IEEPA isn't actually there, he's got other laws he can use, just not so flexibly.

Oh, no. He has the vocal styling of Meryl Streep. Once you hear it you can't ignore it.
He takes out after Mark Levin, most recently, which I think has a lot of Levin fanbois' panties in a knot too.
Tucker's main sin is to question the base philosophy of the Boomers: Beating Hitler Justifies Everything We Have Done Since Then. Which, since that blanket acceptance includes everything Clinton, Obama and Biden did, that not perhaps the shiniest ideal.
But you seem willing to ball up your tiny fists to make the bad Tucker go away, and forbid everyone from listening to his badthink, so all I can do is hope you get that presidency of the HOA so you can taste real power.

I don't think so. Cutting their throat if they do electorally. They might stay silent or seated but the Dems won't be able to get much public support in a SOTU from the GOPe types. GOPe is caught with their balls in a vise by the Don.
The big resistance in the Ryan years was driven by the Chamber of Commerce types but they overplayed their hand in Trump's first term. Lately, Chamber of Commerce has been really quiet as Mitch, their champion was demoted and heading out to pasture. And the Don governs like a Democrat by punishing political opposition this time because his cabinet is behind him.

I will admit to stealing it. Radio station I used to listen to in the 80s and 90s (WHFS - Washington / Baltimore) had "My 3 Songs" each weekday afternoon. The DJ, named Weasel (no not OUT Weasel) would say they had a "common theme, common meaning, or common leitmotif".

I honestly think it may come out since Trump has already made agreements with most countries, that the Court may punt and call those challenges moot but rollback tariffs where the US does not have an agreement.

I'm wondering just what the medical problem is with an astronaut on the ISS. They're not gonna to do a "bugout", and emergency jump into the capsule and deorbit right now, but they're bringing Crew-11 home early in a few days.
It could be a blood clot, which is a known risk in zero-g. That happened in 2019, I was just reading, but they were able to handle it with blood thinners onboard.
This is the first time that NASA has had to do this.

They were preparing two astronauts for a spacewalk the other day. They broadcast live audio of stuff on the ISS all the time. At one point in that transmission, one of the astronauts was heard requesting a private channel with the flight surgeon.
The spacewalk was soon scrubbed. So whatever it was, that's when it began.

You could go the the range together, rent one/some, you could learn, he could 'teach' you. At the same time you would know which pistol is the right one for you.
Regardless of caliber or size or what people say, the one that you are comfortable with is the best one.

From all I can find, it’s because Cuba has maybe 20 days worth of gas and diesel supplies left on the island, and no more coming in now that Trump has shut the Venezuelan connection down.
After that, Cuba’s army is either going to have to walk or take bicycles to anywhere they want to fight.

20 days? Seems like 30 days, maybe 40 days, from now might be good time to open the mail from Cuba to see if they are offering any discounted vacation deals.

Funny, was just thinking today about the only mobile systems the Soviets had back then. Just the SS-20, but that was an IRBM or MRBM. I completely ceased following almost all Russian military developments not long after the collapse, a solid decision, but I think they developed some mobile ICBMs much more recently.
They used an Oreshnik on Lvov tonight. Probably a gas storage facility. Possibly kinetic payloads, like the first one, based on the video of the impacts. Oreshnik I think is mobile and resembles the SS-20 (but all their vehicles look similar so no surprise).

It was a funny one. An SS-18 (Soviet designation RS-20) had blowed up real good during launch. They were cold-launched, I think (popped up first, like SLBMs), judging by the look of the crater, which was impressive. A small drawback of liquid fuel rockets. But their power was a must for Soviet systems that didn't have the accuracy and therefore used big boom-booms to achieve damage expectancy.
Our own Titan IIs would occasionally do the same thing. I remember just a few years earlier, in a different (non-guvamint) job at a place that did regular global missile databooks, a wag changed the Titan II range in a draft report to something like "800 yards" after one blew up at the Arkansas base, the payload stuck in the ground, cartoon-style, that distance from the silo.

The protesters trying to block ICE are disproportionately liberal, middle-class white women.
My theory is that they've never had confrontations with law enforcement before, so the Karens think they can bully them like cashiers at HomeGoods.

Someone the other night mentioned Russia's Satan-II missile as some possible ultimate weapon. I read up on it, and don't know if it's even operational yet -- they had some boom-booms. Anyway, I didn't think it was that big of deal. But I learned something I didn't know.
Nuclear weapons, missiles, by treaty, aren't allowed to go on actual orbital trajectories. This is the "no weapons in space" treaty. All ICBMs have to be sub-orbital "ballistic" trajectories. Well, they're technically highly elliptical orbits, but they intersect the ground before they complete anything close to one loop around.
The Satan-II is supposedly "FOBS" capable, meaning Fractional Orbit Bombardment System. That's a loophole, which we agreed to, in the interpretation of the treaties. It's sort of silly. You can put something in an actual orbital trajectory, but as long you deorbit before it completes one loop, it's okay.

Odds the coach and / or its spouse are running a learing center?

Minnesota Timberwolves held a moment of silence for Renee Good while their coach went on about the unspeakable tragedy that happened in their state.
He was referring to all the little disappeared ones who evaporated at the Somali-owned and Somali-operated day care centers, right?

Speaking of Mars, today is Mars solar conjunction, just a few days after Venus on Jan 6. Exact moment will be 6:35AM EST this morning. Due to not being in straight line (Mars doesn't lie on the ecliptic exactly), moment angular distance is closest to the Sun will be about an hour before. LASCO can see this:

The irony is that they only way to achieve this goal unless you're a highly skilled tradesman is either to stumble into it accidentally or to commit murder.
Because if anyone else knows it's there, it's not a secret - so it can't be a selling point (the seller would know) and you c't have it built (the builder would know). So you have to build it yourself - entirely by yourself, no aid at all from anyone - or get lucky or be a murderer...

Breaking: Two people have just been shot by Border Patrol during an immigration operation in Portland, Ore. Anti-ICE accounts have circulated screenshots alleging that a 911 dispatcher leaked to them information about a call for police assistance.
The call log also shows a 911 call from Border Patrol stated that a husband and wife who were shot almost ran the agent(s) over. ABC News is reporting that the shooting occurred near East Burnside and 141st Avenue.

@DHSgov
At 2:19 PST, US Border Patrol agents were conducting a targeted vehicle stop in Portland, Oregon. The passenger of the vehicle and target is a Venezuelan illegal alien affiliated with the transnational Tren de Aragua prostitution ring and involved in a recent shooting in Portland. The vehicle driver is believed to be a member of the vicious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. When agents identified themselves to the vehicle occupants, the driver weaponized his vehicle and attempted to run over the law enforcement agents.
Fearing for his life and safety, an agent fired a defensive shot. The driver drove off with the passenger, fleeing the scene.
This situation is evolving and more information is forthcoming.

No earthly clue what the hell it means 99% of the time. But I can read it out loud pretty convincingly.
So if it says "Hotel" or something loan-wordy like that, or a recognizable geographical name, I'm golden. Otherwise.....

Mentioned that to my older sister recently and she was surprised. "You didn't know about that?" I teased.
There was a great crawl space under our house, which my brother and I liked to explore, but it just stayed under our house.

I'm old enough to remember that you forfeited a year of athletic eligibility when you transferred from one college to another.
It's now just the NFL Minor Leagues and they've destroyed a century-plus of tradition, conferences, and rivalries.
[Hence my prior affection for the FCS, formerly known as Division I-AA, where MOST kids still have to go to class, earn passing grades, and play primarily for the love of the game and competition.]

“ICE has done nothing but inject terror, chaos, and cruelty into our communities. Trump’s immigration machine is using violence to control our communities—straight out of the authoritarian playbook. ICE must immediately end all active operations in Portland.
“I will share more updates as they become available. I am demanding full accountability and transparency. I encourage our community to stay calm and show courage in this moment.

You'd be, like, "The hell, dude, we have the exact right number of vowels".
Welsh doesn't even really do consonant clusters, either. If you replaced W with OO and Y with EE, you'd say Welsh had a ridiculous number of vowels, instead.

In construction of large buildings there are oftentimes voids in the walls where stray/wild animals may seek refuge in and get boarded up eventually dying and stinking up the place. Ripping out some and it's not hard to find the cavity the critter died in.
Never heard of a hobo getting trapped but sometimes a would be burgler got too clever and got jammed up in one.

We were in NOLA several summers ago and our grandson, age 4yrs, started talking about a "bad man." Because the fire alarm went off in the hotel at 3am (twice) by pranksters and we had to evacuate. We explained that it was a bad person doing this as he asked, but not a huge deal.
The next day anytime he heard a car alarm on the street, he said it was the "bad man." Otherwise seemed unconcerned.
Leaving and going to our gate at the airport, he saw two police escorting a lovely couple in cuffs and told my husband they caught the "bad man." We assume he got closure.
The man messing with the street preacher seemed to get some closure and a few loose teeth.

USA Facts
How many civilian federal government jobs are located in Oregon?
Updated monthly
In part, "About 28,400, as of July 2025. Federal jobs include work in a wide range of occupations, including roles as janitors, scientists, accountants, postal workers, elected officials, and many more. While enlisted troops are considered to be employed by the government, they are not considered civilians, and thus are not included in this figure. Federal jobs represent 1.4% of all nonfarm jobs in the state. That’s about 1 in 70. The state accounts for 0.97% of the 2.93 million federal jobs nationwide."

I was, after all, at Ole Miss for two solid weeks my junior year of college. Then left because my friend was leaving for reasons I won't get into in this box. I am sure my parents were alarmed when I showed up one evening with my big trunk of belongings and my car. My father, bless him, said, "You realize I have lost 20% of your tuition, right?" I told him sweetly, "That's not too bad, Daddy!" I seriously did not think it was that bad.
Always the optimist. My father probably wanted to kill me but didn't. He was so thrilled to give me away in marriage years later!

Trump Announces US Withdrawal from 66 International Organizations and Treaties
Did he decide to do this as a sop to the hard-core Paulites angry about him using American force to vindicate American interests? To balance out his "neocon" capture of Maduro?
Maybe, but it's a win-win for me.President Trump has ordered the United States to withdraw from 66 international organizations and treaties, delivering one of the most sweeping breaks yet from what his administration views as a bloated globalist bureaucracy siphoning American taxpayer dollars with little accountability or return. At the center of the move is the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, the umbrella treaty that underpins nearly every major international climate agreement and hosts the annual U.N. climate summits. The decision prompted immediate outrage from European officials, with EU climate commissioner Wopke Hoekstra lamenting that the world's largest economy was "retreating" from what he called the backbone of global climate action, adding that Europe would press on regardless. Trump, by contrast, has been blunt that he sees no reason for Americans to bankroll institutions premised on what he has long dismissed as exaggerated or fraudulent claims about man-made climate catastrophe, especially while U.S. energy producers are being asked to shoulder the cost.At Hot Air, Ed Morrissey noted that the Senate had actually ratified the gay Climate Change treaty, but he also points out it's only a "framework" without any definite commitments so even without a formal withdrawal, Trump can just completely ignore it.
... The withdrawal order also pulls the U.S. out of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, along with a slate of related outfits including the International Renewable Energy Agency, U.N. Oceans, and U.N. Water, all of which receive funding and legitimacy from American participation. Trump has likewise again exited UNESCO after the Biden administration rejoined it, and reaffirmed his earlier withdrawal from the World Health Organization, while sharply cutting foreign aid more broadly.

#Breaking: it is estimated that nearly 1 million people are out in the streets of #Mashhad, the second-largest city of #Iran, tonight. The number of protesters is unprecedented, and the regime’s security forces have withdrawn from the city out of fear.
They are nowhere to be seen, knowing these angry crowds will punish them. The Islamic regime is closer than ever to its fall. The engagement rate of Iranians in anti-regime protests has exceeded 4%, marking the beginning of the end for the regime, with defections from Iran’s regular armed forces now expected.

A "treaty" that promises to "stand by" some bullshit without actual stipulations has about the same force as the resolution to support the Boy Scouts did at the start of "Charlie Wilson's War". Even a stripper in a hot tub knows it's shit.

Eh, Trump should formally withdraw the US from the treaty. See Carter v. Goldwater on the Panama Canal Treaty and the GWB withdrawal from the ABM Treaty. Court treats it as a political question.

I hinted earlier but now I'll say it: I think some of the fires at government buildings are set by the government, to cover their documents.
If you're some nobody woman in Mashhad and your dear boy Darius hasn't been seen in a few months, you're probably going to want to know who made Darius disappear. And you're going to be a little miffed at that guy.

Easier just to withdraw. Bonus is further enraging the Dems and Euros. Plus pissing off China as their green grift will be over.
Plus Euroland due to its behavior on Ukraine has the unpleasant problem of either kissing our ass for nat gas or the oncoming Leviathan field from Israel to keep their peasants from revolting.

All that butt-fvcking is generating more heat than one would have thought.
Posted by: Itinerant Alley Butcher at January 08, 2026 06:45 PM (/lPRQ)
Pick a thermodynamic cycle:
Adiabatic : No energy transfer as heat during that part of the cycle, no
Isothermal : The process is at a constant temperature during that part of the cycle, no
Isobaric : Pressure in that part of the cycle will remain constant, no, very doubtful
Isochoric : The process is constant volume, nope
Isentropic : The process is one of constant entropy, adiabatic (no heat nor mass exchange) and reversible, hardly, nopey nope
Isenthalpic : The process that proceeds without any change in enthalpy or specific enthalpy, maybe, depends on how you draw your control volume
Polytropic : The process that obeys the relation PVn= constant, only in theory, for an ideal butt-fvcking
Reversible : The process where the net entropy production is zero, nope.

He also withdrew from the anti-natalist CCP-dominated UN Population Fund. He also withdrew from the pro-migration/colonist UN Human Settlements Programme and Global Forum on Migration and Development. He also withdrew from the global censorship body Freedom Online Coalition. He also withdrew from the electioneering and fraud organization International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance. He withdrew from three different "international law" groups.
Only half of the withdrawn organizations are UN-affiliated. There is a *lot* of hate-fueled grift in the world, and this is, as the Left likes to say, merely a "good start."

As this list begins to demonstrate, what started as a pragmatic framework of international organizations for peace and cooperation has morphed into a sprawling architecture of global governance, often dominated by progressive ideology and detached from national interests. From DEI mandates to "gender equity" campaigns to climate orthodoxy, many international organizations now serve a globalist project rooted in the discredited fantasy of the "End of History." These organizations actively seek to constrain American sovereignty. Their work is advanced by the same elite networks--the multilateral "NGO-plex"-- that we have begun dismantling through the closure of USAID.
We will not continue expending resources, diplomatic capital, and the legitimizing weight of our participation in institutions that are irrelevant to or in conflict with our interests. We reject inertia and ideology in favor of prudence and purpose. We seek cooperation where it serves our people and will stand firm where it does not.

These people are psychotic nihilists who believe only in power, violence and domination. They are anti-civilization while pretending they’re in favor of a “western civilization” that denies everything they are
This has Stephen Miller’s greasy fingerprints all over it. I was petrified that I was going to find NATO on the list. I can’t believe we’re pulling back from the UN.
I mean, this is what I'd do with our country if I were a Russian asset. A treaty becomes U.S. law once ratified. The President can't just unilaterally withdraw. But then this President is fundamentally lawless.
He got peed on. Putin has the tapes. We will withdraw from NATO by end of year.
He sees himself, Putin and Xi as emperors of the Americas, Europe and Asia. I suppose there will be a new scramble for Africa. Or give it to Elon, IDK.

I would suggest reading carefully Justice Sutherland's opinion in Curtiss Wright v. US. And add to your homework, Justice Jackson's concurrence in Youngtown Sheet and Tube case.

Officers responded and found a male and female with apparent gunshot wounds. Officers applied a tourniquet and summoned emergency medical personnel. The patients were transported to the hospital.

Statement from Portland Mayor Keith Wilson
Just one day after the horrific violence in Minnesota at the hands of federal agents, our community here in Portland is now grappling with another deeply troubling incident. Earlier this afternoon, two people were shot and injured by federal agents in the Hazelwood neighborhood.
We cannot sit by while constitutional protections erode and bloodshed mounts. Portland is not a "training ground" for militarized agents, and the "full force" threatened by the administration has deadly consequences. As Mayor, I call on ICE to end all operations in Portland until a full investigation can be completed.
Federal militarization undermines effective, community‑based public safety, and it runs counter to the values that define our region. I will use every legal and legislative tool available to protect our residents' civil and human rights.

Some PKK affiliate reportedly is fighting with local thugs in western Iran, to be expected, but still welcome. Historically Iranian Kurds have not been as much into serious separatist activities as their Iraqi, Turkish, and Syrian brethren, but all hands on deck here could help.
Speaking of Syrian Kurds, the SDF is involved in some serious fighting with "Syrian" military elements in/near Aleppo. Helpfully, today Turkey indicated its forces could enter the fray if requested. SDF's biggest partner has been the US. Good times!
No word if the joint Israeli-Syrian ski resort on Mt Hermon - managed by a multinational team of Druze - might compensate for "Syria"'s ongoing difficulties.

Breaking: Two people have just been shot by Border Patrol during an immigration operation in Portland, Ore. Anti-ICE accounts have circulated screenshots alleging that a 911 dispatcher leaked to them information about a call for police assistance.
The call log also shows a 911 call from Border Patrol stated that a husband and wife who were shot almost ran the agent(s) over. ABC News is reporting that the shooting occurred near East Burnside and 141st Avenue.

Starlink uses a small dish and small control box on the ground to hook your tablet/laptop/desktop to. Signals go to a satellite overhead, which relays them to a ground station that is connected to the internet. The ground station can be hundreds, or even thousands of miles away if the signals are bounced from satellite to satellite.

Feel sorry for them like the Army now. Our worst air bases were nicer in most cases than the main army bases I have been at. Enlisted housing is one area where a bunch of officers need to be courtmartialed and a bunch of wicked contractors need to be permanent fired and prosecuted under the false claims act. Same thing with meal services on a lot of Army bases.

It was apparent though in the enlisted mess as the French speakers sat in a group, the English speakers sat in another group, and the Newfies were like the dogs, wanting to be friends with everyone and thus circling between groups. Funny really.

They aren't all that silent. I remember feeding popcorn to carp at a marina on Lake Mead. Big white bastards, maybe a foot long. They went into a regular feeding frenzy; a dense mass of fish, and new ones would swim up on top of the mob and come right out of the water, and champ their jaws, going "glup, glup, glup". Could have made a horror movie scene of it.

Marco Rubio Informs Congress That Trump Wants to Purchase Greenland
Territorial expansion is one way to get yourself into the history books.
NYT:Secretary of State Marco Rubio has told lawmakers that President Trump plans to buy Greenland rather than invade it, while Mr. Trump has asked aides to give him an updated plan for acquiring the territory, U.S. officials said on Tuesday. Mr. Rubio made his remarks in a briefing on Monday with lawmakers from the main armed services and foreign policy committees in both chambers of Congress. The same day, Mr. Trump told aides to deliver an updated plan.The Danish PM has warned that if the US annexes Greenland -- without their permission, I think she means -- then that means the NATO treaty is formally nullified. As many people have said: We accept your terms, now kindly fuck off and join the Greater Islamic Caliphate per your current political trajectory.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is warning that NATO itself would collapse if the United States moved to forcibly annex Greenland--an extraordinary escalation in rhetoric that underscores Europe's growing anxiety over President Trump's sharpened focus on the Arctic. Frederiksen told POLITICO that Trump should be taken "seriously when he says that he wants Greenland," a position rooted in the island's immense strategic value and its vast mineral reserves. But she went further, issuing what amounted to a dire warning for the transatlantic alliance: "If the U.S. chooses to attack another NATO country militarily, then everything stops, including NATO and thus the security that has been established since the end of the Second World War." Trump has made clear that securing Greenland is a matter of national security, given its location at the front door of the Arctic--a region where America's adversaries have been expanding their footprint. And while he hasn't ruled out military action, the White House signaled this week that force is hardly the only tool available. Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller told CNN there was "no need to even think or talk about" a U.S. operation against Denmark, citing the island's population of just 57,000. "Nobody is going to fight the US militarily over the future of Greenland. That doesn't make any sense," he said, before questioning Denmark's historic claim altogether. "What right does Denmark have to assert control over Greenland? What is their basis of having Greenland as a colony of Denmark?"I think the whole idea is nuttier than a Snickers bar but Trump has had nutty ideas before and some of them have worked out. (Other remain nutty.) In related news, Marco Rubio has publicly denied rumors that he's being offered the GM job with the Miami Dolphins. That said, I don't think that's really Marco Rubio. But I thing it makes for a fun post.

I don't believe there's a mechanism within NATO to eject a member who attacks another NATO member. It's not an Article 5 violation, as that covers attacks from outside NATO. If the annexing isn't violent, there would be even less reason to dissolve NATO.

Yeah everyone is acting like wanting Greenland is this new crazy nonsense by Trump but its been more than half a century we have wanted it as the USA. And it makes sense, from a strategic point of view, it allows us to cut off Europe entirely and not need the bases there as much. Its like the Ballroom, Trump is just doing the stuff a dozen or so presidents before wanted to but never got done.

It's not different than the Carlson thing... if you watch a person shed skin like a snake every few years and emerge as a completely different person, you should recognize them for the centerless grifters they are, and categorically ignore whatever they say.
If they happen to be right about some given topic, it's coincidental to their own interests being served, and it's entirely disingenuous - if they feel saying the exact opposite thing better serves them, they'll say it with seeming conviction the very next day.
It's just not worth the time or effort to hear them out. There are other people who are right (or wrong, for that matter) without being a cheesy fuckin' scammer nobody can trust.

>>He has a good reason for wanting Greenland.
It's really a very simple reason. Right now Russia has a very strategic position in the Arctic Sea. We don't but Greenland does. The Arctic Sea is increasingly important for trade but particularly national security.
Trump does some things that at first seem goofy because they aren't talked about in the media or traditional political debate but this is a well know issue in national security circles.

I suspect the pan is *not* to buy Greenland.
I suspect the plan is to get the Danes to agree to ice out Red China and grant the US preferential treatment on resource exploitation.
The big, noisy threat: annexation.
The more palatable but still very politically-difficult (for both sides) position: purchase and transfer.
The compromise solution: no access to our enemies, access for ourselves.

"Greenland - As viewed from a proper map
Why Greenland? Well because Moscow bases almost all of their strategic military assets on the Kola Peninsula next to Finland. This is where the Russian ICBM silos, submarine bases, and their strategic bombers are.
If you look at the flight path (ballistic or powered) from Kola to anywhere on the lower 48, then everything goes over Greenland.
Greenland is the theatre where any strategic exchange between Washington and Moscow is contested"

If Trump was Xi or Putin, Greenland would be gone, baby. Stalin stole Japanese islands because he felt like it, and made all the Japs living their get on boats. China did that Tibet. China always claims it is a "strategic imperative."
If the only reason to do this is to make China think that maybe the US is not the pushover sad sacks they assume we are, then that is justification enough for me. If China starts to think "oh shit, USA might take over the whole north and south continents and then what?"

Funding illegals is done. The problem is that the Democrats have is that they cannot back down and insist on the extension covering illegals (they dance aroudn that part). Probably some GOPe types taking big bucks from insurors would love to pass it but their voters will take them out if they do, especially now it is highly salient and visible.
So, there might be some folding into the minibus with the exclusion of illegals language but then the Dems have to decide to shut down the government again for departments that hand out goodies to their constituents. The NDAA, VA, etc. have been passed so the hostage has been shot for the GOP. That makes another shutdown explicitly on illegals unlikely to happen but enraged Dems might do YOLO again and make us shut down the whole part of government that issue fradulent payments to assholes.

$250k to each Greenlander personally, plus citizenship via territorial status: $15b
$2.5k to each Dane personally: $15bn
$30b to the Government of Denmark, with $10bn of it guaranteed for purchase of American goods within one year.
Net cost: $60b; trade deficit reduced by $10b with big profit incentives for American firms.
That would pass a fair vote in all three countries.

Another point -- Those resources are hard to extract right now, but if we can pump up those global warming numbers maybe it will be economic in future. China thinks like that.
(off point, but I think one reason Trump is in a hurry to go to the Moon is because of this. China is confronted with territory claims on many islands, and it goes back to "who discovered, who used resources, and who had permanent continuous presence"
China wants that claim for the Moon. Bank on it. We need to maintain our priority claims. Remember, China thinks in terms of centuries and in 100 years, the Moon might have real value to whoever can claim it.)

The regime dying is why it can't either protect its own assets because it is trying stave off total death in the streets or it is trying to kill its own citizens by denying power, light, and heat.
That simply enrages people already in teh street and that shuts down a lot of the ways that the regime uses to identify and stop protesters.
I think it is a bit of both, gas workers are on strike is one example last night.

It’s too hot then. Even in the arctic it gets warm-ish in summer. 24 hour sun isn’t exactly conducive to good ski conditions.
There is some year round skiing on glaciers in the Alps and Whistler sometimes. but it’s pretty shitty conditions. People do it just to do it (hey I skied in July!!). It’s limited terrain like a run or two.
Alyiaska the big resort in Alaska is right at 60 degrees north and they close in April or May since it gets too warm past that.

During a generalized comms and electrical blackout - if that's what going on - it will affect an even smaller number of people.

GL is a bit of an odd topography for top quality skiing. It has huge elevation with ice and glaciers (over 12k feet), but the average height isn’t much more than Vermont. It’s like Antarctica only not as high.
Of course, the best skiing is often about snow quality, and I have no idea the quality in GL. Could be awesome. Could be shit. But I’d love to ski it!

This is why the founders set up the government the way they did, separation of powers, divided government and the so-called “antidemocratic” Senate, the Electoral College, and independent judiciary and the rest of it. Democracy is Mobocracy. They hated Democracy as much as any King or potentate or dictator.

Primarily Eskimo, per Wikipedia (so grains of salt are called for)
The Inuit population makes up approximately 85–90% of the total (2009 est.). 6,792 people from Denmark live in Greenland, which is 12% of its total population.
The average Greenlander has 75% inuit ancestry and 25% European ancestry, tracing about half of their paternal DNA to Danish male ancestors.

Trump had to warn the Euros off from stealing Russia's foreign assets directly so they borrowed against it and sent the money to Ukraine and Zelinsky anyway. Our funding is about nil nowadays and little Z is reshuffling the deck so he can keep grifting. Little bastard is probably somewhere in the EU while his people die and suffer.

I think the EU and its main countries simply collapse like the old Soviet Union. Sort of like a deflating balloon because no one is willing to fight and die for it. Even the Muzzies. Most of them came for looting, when no loot is there, barbarians leave or are kicked out by a newly reinvigorated native population. Muzzies are mainly an urban feature, much like our fucktard leftists, they move to the hive but that makes the cancers centralized for removal. Big cities aren't as necessary in this era as in the past. Instead, they have become cancerous lumps in a nation's body.

Frederick Jackson Turner's Frontier Thesis argued that America's rugged westward frontier forged its unique character—individualism, democracy, and innovation—by offering endless opportunity and renewal. In the 21st century, with continental frontiers closed, that spirit needs revival. Greenland is the perfect place to rekindle it: a vast, untamed new horizon for bold pioneers.

I know eaten bread is soon forgotten but this is a disgraceful way to treat people whose sons and daughters died for you.
As for Stephen Miller, I know he probably lacks the capacity to understand irony but 'what right does Denmark have to Greenland?' is a ridiculous question for an American to ask.

Doctor_Zero
@Doctor_Zer0 4h The Democrat Party is many things: massive money-laundering operation, domestic terrorist organization, agent of hostile foreign powers, authoritarian, subversive. It has ceased to be a functioning part of American democracy in any meaningful sense. The Democrat Party claims it has the right to use violence to nullify laws it does not like. We, the patriotic people of the United States of America, formally reject this claim, wholly and without reservation. The Democrats claim their political violence is the fault of the victims who refused to submit to their demands. This is the catechism of terrorism - the blood is on your hands for resisting us. We, the American people, reject this doctrine and will hold Democrats accountable. The Democrat Party believes it should operate without oversight or responsibility, running massive fraud operations in multiple states and using its control of the media to protect the criminal operations, while Dem politicians rake in cash. We energetically reject this demand. The Democrat Party believes elections it loses are invalid, and it has an unlimited right to stage insurrections until it is returned to power. We, the American people, wholly and completely reject this belief, and will insist Democrats serve as the loyal opposition. Democrats believe their Party dogma is superior to duly-passed laws, and they have an unlimited right to interfere with the enforcement of laws the Party hates, exercising power beyond democracy. We, the American people, insist Democrats cease their interference with the law. Democrat feel no duty toward lawful American citizens and believe foreign nationals are morally and practically superior. We insist the Democrat Party reaffirm and abide by its duty to the people and constitution of the United States. Democrats feel no responsibility whatsoever to safeguard taxpayer money, protect the integrity of our elections, or build trust in our institutions. We insist they begin attending to these duties, instead of profiteering from the corrupt system they have created. We refuse to live under the rules Democrats are trying to write, where they can overturn elections they lose and nullify laws they don't like. We will no longer be terrorized, or looted. We will no longer allow every square inch of our lives to be politicized. If Democrats are unwilling to show proper respect to the American people and our constitutional republic, they must be replaced with a functional opposition party as quickly as possible. Until then, they are the enemies of this republic, and should be treated as such. /end
Robby Starbuck
@robbystarbuck 50m Very important info about the ICE shooting: The agent that shot Renee Good yesterday, as she drove toward him, had been dragged by a car over 300ft just 6 months ago by a man who had been charged with sex crimes against a child. This is a photo of him in the hospital. This happened one month after Tim Walz called ICE the modern day Gestapo. The agent had over 30 stitches, luckily escaping death. So being hit or dragged by a car wasn't some theoretical event he had the luxury of Monday morning quarterbacking. He had ONE SECOND to make a judgement call with a car accelerating at him: Shoot to save my life or potentially die being run over or caught and dragged by this car? A very compelling argument can be made that Democrat politicians are to blame for both events here. In one, an illegal was radicalized to believe he could run from the "Gestapo" and likely believed the Walz Admin would protect him. In this one a woman radicalized by Dem politicians and media believed that she could impede law enforcement without consequence. She ended up dead as a result. The position Democrats are putting our ICE agents in is just objectively dangerous and evil.
Kurt Schlichter
@KurtSchlichter A DEEP DIVE -- Thoughts From a Competent Lawyer on the Minneapolis ICE Shooting: 1. The left is positively turgid about this INCIDENT. They wanted a shooting and did everything they could to set the conditions that made it inevitable, from the rhetoric of the Democrat politicians to the provocations on the street. One leftist white lady dead is a small price to pay for the martyr they wanted. 2. Note that yesterday (1/6/26), the Democrats changed from "The feds are the Gestapo" to "A zillion federal officers died defending Our Democracy, and we support these heroes- here's a plaque!" back to "The feds are the Gestapo" the very next day. 3. The law is clear -- you can use deadly force against someone threatening you with deadly force. The ICE agent had no duty to retreat. This does not matter to the left and its narrative. You will see many experts with zero actual knowledge of the law opining -- including the typically terrible cadre of leftist lawyers. 4. The video is clear that the driver was heading at and came in contact with the ICE agent. He had a right to use deadly force to defend himself. This does not matter to the left and its narrative. The left will do everything it can to keep people from looking at the actual video that shows the incident. It will push video that does not show the incident clearly, as well a perjured or irrelevant witness statements. 5. The leftist narrative will be "Trump's ICE nazis are literally murdering innocent people." This will work on Democrats and Republican sissies. Normal people will ask why she did not comply with the officers' orders and why she drove at a cop. Properly addressed, we can leverage the gross irresponsibility of the Dem pols and communist foot soldiers to defeat their bogus narrative. 6. The corrupt state of Minnesota will "investigate" even though its senior officials have already announced that this was murder, and the ICE agent will be indicted in state court. The feds will remove it to federal court, where the case will fail. 7. There will be a civil suit against the US government and the shooter. It will be heard in federal court. Qualified immunity will apply. 8. The shooter will be doxed and his family threatened by leftists, who will cheer this on. 9. There will be rioting in Minneapolis, probably low-grade, since too much will make the left lose sympathy. If it gets serious, look to Trump to send in the armed forces, perhaps under the Insurrection Act. 10. The anti-ICE direct actions will accelerate. Trump will not back down. There will be a decision point facing to the left: Continue the current level of actions, which will have zero effect, or escalate into (further) attempts to murder ICE agents. Some leftists will embrace escalated violence. The Administration should focus rigorously on the following key points: 1. ICE was present in Minneapolis doing its job removing dangerous criminals. 2. Democrat politicians are creating a dangerous situation with their rhetoric and caused this incident. 3. Democrat activists have been putting people at risk with their dangerous action and it must stop. 4. The communist woman was ordered to stop but attempted to kill a federal agent, who lawfully defended himself with deadly force. WATCH THE VIDEO. 5. WE WILL NTO BACK DOWN FROM MAKING AMERICA SAFE FORM ILLEGAL ALIEN CRIMINALS, INCLUDING FRAUDSTERS.

This is the point. This is why they incite it, and why lefties have things like ICE tracking apps. It isn't about preventing deportation, it's about directing street warriors - and a lot of AWFLs are, or will become street warriors - to interfere. The goal of that interference is likely not a cessation of deportation or raids, but to trigger a lethal response. They want martyrs, because martyrs provide a nucleus around which other and more intensive action can coalesce.

Do NOT hassle police officers performing their duties. Do not touch them, do not argue with them. If they tell you to do somehting...do it. About half the fucking time the officer will let you off with a warning. Or a stupid ticket you can pay with a credit card.
That idiot woman could have just complied with the officers...and be home with her family right now.

It's a lie, but it's also irrelevant. Being "brushed" by a car is still getting your ass hit by a car. When it's an accident, it's an accident. Be happy you walked away.
When it isn't by accident, it's attempted murder.

Yeah. Mostly. There is no moral equivalence. Certainly not between charlie kirk/ Trump. You may say the lady in the capital was tresspassing, and crossing a security line and i would not try to say she wasnt. That situation is not the same as this. She was not armed. She was arguably tresspassing and breaking the law but not a felony. Its not as clear as CK and Trumps head shot.

2) Karen turned her wheels at the last moment trying to avoid the agent. I don't get this one because she still hit him. And because they are still claiming she had a right to drive through him anyway.

If a rioter grabs their baton, shield, or tear gas dispenser, they will be lucky to survive the night. They police are being extremely tolerant even letting you get that close. The general rule is they back the crowd off at least three feet from where they are standing. 6-10 feet is preferable. You run up to a cop during a protest and lay hands on them - you may well fucking die.
Deservedly. I don't care if you are a granny and the mother of six. You do not lay hands on a cop during a protest.

The video is nonsensical, and the soldier showed a lot of restraint. In the image that purportedly paints the picture of a black man being threatened, you can see in the soldier's body language that he is alarmed, surprised, and scared too.
What is going on? Was he trying to get himself shot? Did his brain short circuit? Clearly the soldier didn't want to fight. The black man wasn't really trying to fight either. What was he thinking?

Nikita Casap pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree intentional homicide in Waukesha County Circuit Court in connection with the deaths of his stepfather, Donald Mayer, and his mother, Tatiana Casap, last year. In exchange, prosecutors dropped seven other charges, including two counts of hiding a corpse and theft.

Yes it is an incredibly stupid thing think to wish for. Should we tabulate a laundry list of very stupid things the left has done in the last 5 years? IMO, they feel that invoking the Insurrection act will galvanize their support. That and a portion of the left just wants an excuse to burn sh*t.

Thing is - trump is not attacking them rhetorically, he's attacking the basis of their power. Election and campaign fraud. NGOs funded by the government. Illegal immigration. Funding frauds.
2.5 million illegals have been deported. Wanna guess how many illegally voted in the last election? Or donated money to the Dems? All that money stolen by the Somali fraudsters - how much went to the dems for the next election? He's rapidly cutting the legs out from under them. The DNC is losing money. That is no coincidence.
And it is just going to get worse - by next year, 5 million illegals may be gone. More and more Medicaid fraud will be exposed. NGOs will be out of government funds. What then?

There will be troops/ice outside of voting booths in democratic areas (the excuse wll be to keep the peace due to domestic terrorist threats). This will be enough to intimidate enough voters and win Rs the midterms.
Can you please provide a source that blue States as well as cities openly don't support ice? I know fox news and right wing media will have you think this but unless there's actual proof of this, there's no way that full States would not want any immigration polices help at all.
As An American, The American People of 2026 Are The Worst Collective Populace Of A Nation In Human History. Why haven't we seen people rebel considering the situation in the US ? Is the second amendment just a justification to play with guns ?

They have directors just like a play and have their patsies play their part. Remember Magic hoo haw woman who was nekkid and opening her legs to give cops a full pron viewing in the street. Portland protest I think.
A tough old bastard that helped created the operations division of the OSS, Col. Rex Applegate. He later consulted with various latino countries about riots, etc. including Venezuela btw (leftists frequently staged violent riots and attacke VP Nixon's car one time in Caracas).
In his book, Kill or Be Killed, the last chapters dealth with Commie riot techniques and how to defeat and avoid them. This from his consultations with governments.
Basically he argued that a sniper armed with a 22 LR should identify the command and control cadre and put 22 LR bullets into their arms or legs. Not enough to be a martyr causing death but likely enough to take them out of the fight and thus leaving the riot without direction.

If Insurrection Act is invoked, and US Military brought in, and engagement happens thereupon...
Won't any trials that happen as a result be in military tribunals?
That's how Trump's actions won't be challenged in court-- the civilian courts won't have any jurisdiction.
I drool at the prospect of Walz being convicted of Insurrection by a military court. If any federal officers or soldiers died engaging with his goons, he likely gets executed and quickly.
After which known Democrats will be about as welcome in elected office as Nazis were in postwar Germany.

Minnesota Statutes § 609.02, subd. 6 defines a "dangerous weapon" as any device designed as a weapon and capable of producing death or great bodily harm, or any other device or instrumentality that, in the manner it is used or intended to be used, is calculated or likely to produce death or great bodily harm.Vehicles routinely qualify under this when weaponized (e.g., accelerating toward a person).
Minnesota Statutes § 609.066 governs peace officers' use of deadly force and defines "deadly force" as force that the actor uses with purpose of causing, or should reasonably know creates a substantial risk of causing, death or great bodily harm.This aligns with civilian self-defense under § 609.065 (justification in defense of person/property), allowing reasonable deadly force against perceived imminent threat.
Posted by: sven at January 08, 2026 05:27 PM (MUJd1)
The Minnesota Supreme Court explicitly ruled in State v. Blevins (2024) that a vehicle can constitute a dangerous weapon under § 609.02 if its use is "likely to produce" death or great bodily harm, regardless of the driver's specific intent to cause harm.
The court rejected arguments that controlled operation (e.g., not full-speed ramming) prevents classification.
This upheld charges like second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon (§ 609.222) or first-degree assault (§ 609.221) involving vehicles.
Other cases (e.g., appellate decisions on vehicular assault) consistently treat cars as dangerous weapons in contexts like drive-by threats, ramming officers, or fleeing while endangering lives.

===========
You are wrong as a matter of law and this was not a civilian shooting in self defense.
A civilian is required to stop shooting when the threat was over. Not true for a law enforcement officer who has a duty to apprehend violent felons.
And FWIW, the first shot was through the windshield and was probably a headshot. That woman was a threat to others as an escaping violent felon and other agents with her irrationality. She nearly injured another agent before she tried to run one down. And the additional shots occurred roughly 2 seconds after the first while the car was still moving.
Fleeing felons end up dead in many cases because they just keep doing stupid shit.
In this case, encouraged by the left's howler monkey politicians, social media, and press actions.

Yes in an ideal world her victim jumps aside and the other ICE agents shoot her tires or have a rumble strip setup.
But...why would anyone assume that this is a reasonable setup? The Karen just ran down one officer and there was no reason to assume she was just going to surrender after that.
This was an ambush that failed for the ambushers. Their intent was to block in ICE long enough to let the criminals they were searching for escape. Everyone involved should be arrested, and they should all face attempted murder charges for one of their number attempted to kill an ICE agent

The courts have already settled the question, a car is considered a deadly weapon if it is aimed at a person. Cops will shoot you if you attempt to hit them and they will be found innocent.

Sven, this was a federal case (supremacy clause applies) and federal law explictly considers trying to assault a law officer with a car as a deadly weapon. Intention does not matter if the whole chain of events is escalating criminal actions leading to an escape. She already had feloniously assaulted another agent whose arm was inside the vehicle trying to stop her after teh verbal orders did not, and then she ate one bullet through the windshield when she hit the other agent.
Whole confrontation was in 20 seconds of less.
She chose poorly.

I agree. The fact that the cop was previously dragged by a vehicle makes the whole thing make more sense. I observed last night that it looks like he panicked and committed, which is why he continued shooting through the side window even though she wasn't a threat at that point.
But everything is ultra-polarized now. It is required by the outrage rules that we have an equal but opposite reaction to that of Democrats.

That is why qualified immunity doctrine was invented by the Rehnquist court in the 80's.
Brown v. US 1921
"On appeal, the Supreme Court disagreed and reversed the lower court's conviction holding “that if a man reasonably believes that he is in immediate danger of death or grievous bodily harm from his assailant he may stand his ground and that if he kills him he has not exceed the bounds of lawful self-defense.”
In writing the opinion, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes stated that “Detached reflection cannot be demanded in the presence of an uplifted knife. Therefore, in this Court, at least, it is not a condition of immunity that one in that situation should pause to consider whether a reasonable man might not think it possible to fly with safety or to disable his assailant rather than to kill him.”

The rest of Brown says,
"In reviewing the lower court's decision, Justice Holmes noted that there was evidence that Brown fired his last shot after Hermes went down. Brown testified in the lower court that this was an accidental discharge. The Court determined that a person need not lose a self-defense claim if a last shot followed closely to the others during the heat of conflict and if a person believed that he was fighting for his life."
And this was a civilian case. Basically kibitizers about a 2-3 second deadly encounter after a whole afternoon and specifically 20 seconds before the shooting where the driver already committed felony assault among other crimes on one ICE officer (the guy being dragged first), and she tried then to escape by running over another officer who shot her in self defense and to stop the threat of a felony attempted murderer escaping.
The lesson is don't be a douchebag depending on privilege to save your ass.

I wish I had the ability to see if the mother was the abuser of the 6yo, or if the new mama/daddy was.
I read she lost her first two kids to her first husband due to abuse.
Have read that people who try to avoid CPS move around a lot. He's six. Hoping the parental granfather (second husband who died in 2023) gets custody vs the "wife/widow."
They moved to Canada after Trump won in 2024. Then to MN recently. Prior to that Missouri, as the SUV is registered to Rebecca.
Prior to Missouri, CO (where second husband died).

ANY person in the Nat. guard who follows any such orders from Walz is likely to end up at Leavenworth. Hence, no doubt, most of the Guard would refuse such an order.
The Guard is designed to be a state militia used to SUPPORT the federal government in time of crises, not the opposite. If they oppose the feds, the relevant law simply states the president can federalize the guard, and they must report to him, not Walz. In fact, if I were Trump, I'd point to Walz's clear statement of intent and federalize the guard now, just to clear up any confusion for the soldiers.
After that there is no discussion. Well except one - will Frey and Walz be charged with insurrection and hanged? I'd say no, they are entirely impotent at that point.
I'd then use the guard as crowd/riot control and keep doing the ICE raids. And get a LOT more eager to arrest anyone interfering with federal officers, especially anyone from out of state, who are more likely to be the agitators.

The trade deficit--a measurement by which the cost of a country's imports is worth more than its exports--shrank to $29.4 billion in October, the narrowest gap since June 2009 and a 39% decrease from September ($48.1 billion), the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported. Imports decreased 3.2% in the month to $331.4 billion from September, while exports jumped 2.6% to $302 billion, according to the agency. Wall Street expected the trade gap to widen to $60.6 billion, according to FactSet. The effective tariff rate imposed by the U.S. was 17.9% in October, the highest since 1934, according to the Budget Lab at Yale.Forbes claims that this shows that Trump's tariffs "disrupted international trade more than expected." That's one way to put it, I guess.
CNBC is shocked that U.S. trade deficit is down over $100,000,000,000 in the last calendar year.

They use that gold to buy our assets, our bonds, our companies and our resources. It is somewhat mitigated when they buy bonds and we then devalue the currency, but that is a one time gain since the more we do that, the lower value the bonds have when sold. (The US has mostly avoided this problem since everyone else in the world is worse and has higher risk. Our money should be as good as gold, but it only slightly better than the other shit fiat currencies.)

The 2020 BLM riots worked so well that six states had to shut down ballot counting in the middle of the night to ballot box stuff like Tammany Hall to barely beat Trump in the electoral college after months of mail in ballot fraud.
I just like to remember that from time to time, especially since the act just ended radicalizing Trump and making him more powerful in the end.

Most of the advantages/disadvantages are stated in ideal conditions, without regard for ease of capital movement.
MOST economists aren't smart enough to realize that, though, as they were trained this is the answer and don't question it. (Few ever question what is the effect if "ceteris paribus" doesn't hold, because that's a much harder question.)

I realized macroeconomics was a bullshit pseudo science back when my degree was in it. Micro is a science and particular areas like Labor economics or Money and Banking produce repeatable results and good predictions.
Macro predictions are like assholes, everyone has one. Ditto for their worthless attempts to quantify everything and accept bad data from bullshit fake and gay countries like Chicoms or EU land.

It turns out that when people can't afford to buy things they don't buy as many things. Elon literally jumped around on stage like a dipsh1t telling Americans they were going to have to buy less stuff and accept austerity and a lower standard of living.
This seems ominous. The US prints its own currency and sells things in its currency — it imports stuff and exports *inflation*. Inflation is still here so this means Americans will bear more of the brunt while the world stops using dollars as a reserve currency.
As a european, the thing that really terrifies me in this case is that US once upon a time promised the world they will be a stable and reliable partner as a reserve currency printer, and now not only is the current administration destroying the world order US build for itself, it seems to be heading into a full economic collapse which in turn will make the 2008 world financial crisis look like a cake party.

The additional monetary outflow is used to employ people in the other country and allow the other country to purchase things in this country (like politicians). This, in turn, leads to more employment loss in this country and more tax dollars flowing elsewhere to help other people.
So... their country gets better and ours gets worse.

Same here, so the things I read confuse me.
>>the finds that manufacturing employment has contracted for nine consecutive months. The Bureau of Labor Statistics, even with the chill that came from for producing “biased” numbers, reports that there are in manufacturing today than when Trump took office and 67,000 fewer since Liberation Day in April. Even more alarming, job openings in manufacturing have in the same time span. Not only are there fewer jobs in manufacturing today, but there is less opportunity, too.
the beloved steel industry? cut 1,200 jobs in Michigan and Minnesota. announced that it was shuttering its mill in Illinois, though, thanks to a deal they signed with the Trump administration, the 800 workers will remain employed through 2027. In other words, US Steel is losing so much money by making steel that it’s cheaper for them to pay their workers not to do so.

In macro, we simply do not have the capacity to build world economies with predictive models. So they simply make up shit to describe what they see at any moment as eternally true.
So these models fail to predict (if I predict a ball will run downhill, I can keep doing it until I get tired of replicating the original result--physics is a science) and cannot be replicated in different societies, different eras, etc. The usual excuse is some sort of cosmological economic constant is to blame.
I look forward to even worse models coming forth when idiots use AI to try to analyze econometric models. Garbage theory, garbage data, garbage results.

It is, for the reasons I listed.
Economic analysis says it's nothing but win-win.
The free-traders don't ever look into the assumptions that underpin that analysis, so it is taken as gospel writ.

The is an underlying reality that the phd dont factor in. When the imbalance is so horrific, there is no downside. It wont get worse when the only change that is possible is improvement. It either stays the same, shitty, or gets better. Trump who has been at rock bottom, more than once, has lived this axiom. He is the right man for the job. No doubt.

Modern economists were never trained other than tariffs bad, global flows good. There is a whole era where we had very good data in the late 1890's and through the 1940's of tariff effects. These were ignored in favor of the fake story that Smoot Hawley tariffs caused the Great Depression. Instead, it was their beloved FDR who could not stop interfering with the economy when it tried to recover.
He and his cast of expert idiots were to blame.

Ricardian vice. Ricardo was not an economic thinker but primarily a speculator and lobbyist. At the time, England had the Corn laws (really wheat but Brits are weird), that restricted importation of grain because England needed to feed itself and the rural MPs were from agricultural districts favoring protecting this industry.
Industrialists wanted cheaper food so as to pay their workers less and the bien pensant lobbies wanted cheaper food as well. So Ricardo jimmied up his examples to both lobby Parliament and to produce a public backswell using his comparative advantage model. Cloth and wine, Portugal and England.
The real aim was critquing the Corn Laws but by mentioning cloth (England was the king of textiles then) and wine (English wine?) it flew past normal critics.
In a multidimensional world of raw materials, goods, processes, etc. it gets complicated very fast, add in national defense, more so, add in other key factors like labor/capital mobility, even more so.

Yes, and all phone service and all internet service to Iran has now been shut down by the government. BUT they cannot stop Starlink, which is why these images are getting out.
At a bare minimum, shutting down all phone and internet means that the economy of Iran is now totally shutdown, for everyone. Something has to break, one way or the other, and given that several government building are now on fire, I think I can guess which way it's breaking.

Trump: We have bad trade deals that are bad for America. We buy from abroad, they don't buy from us. We need to fix this and bring it back into balance, and tariffs are the means to do it.*
Analysts: The trade deficit is meaningless, tariffs can't fix it anyway and are also inflationary, and this is the end of the world.
:: fast forward ::
Analysts: The trade deficit still doesn't matter, but it's falling if you care for some reason. Also, tariffs appear to be disinflationary and the world hasn't ended. So many things are defying expectations!
* Some of the tariffs, anyway. Others are not primarily economic, used as a foreign policy tool.

America's best move here is probably to just kick back and watch, let the fire clear out the underbrush, and simply watch to make sure it doesn't spill out into any neighboring countries.
Lots of goofy ethnic hostilities around the borders of the hopefully soon to be former Iran. Don't need the whole region going up in flames right now. Just burn out the mullahs and the IRGC, and things ought to be fine.

I do think that EU etc. are going into recession, probably China too. Both have pissed away their investments into non productive but politically useful directions. China is propping up its oversized mfg. sector and housing sectors, to keep people employed and off the streets. The Euros are doing the same shit with war in Ukraine and their idiotic green industry crap.
Investment increases, malinvestment, and decreases tied to productivity gains are the actual predictors of recessions.
For the US, the risk is the AI bubble but like the Web 2.0 recession, it will leave value behind. Failed green investments, plants that run at increasing losses requiring more subsidies (Brits tried that one in the 70's), and ghost cities for a dying population are all examples of bad investment that leaves nothing but debt behind.

The funny thing is that this person is actually almost right. The US *did* destroy the "reserve currency" system to its - and our primary trading partner-allies' - tremendous detriment. But Trump didn't do that, Biden did through his Russia-Ukraine sanctions that destroyed the veneer of an even playing field in global settlements and Dollar safety.
Trump is working to *re-establish* it as best he can. Tariffs are one tool. Aggressive action against non-Dollar settlement (see: Venezuela, in part) is another. He can't put Humpty-Dumpty back together again, but he can try to shore up the system to avoid an outright failure of the "reserve currency" system.

Many are switching back. Massive inventory buildup in Q1 and Q2 in 2025 in the US along with big mfg good trade deficits because companies were anticipating Trump actions on tariffs. As those inventories decline, replacement (and more likely domestic) production will ensue. This is shifting the global supply chain to something shorter and more resilient often using multiple sources than the old JIT.
JIT was perfected in Japan where all the factories were in fact close together in distance, culture, and similar context. Thus supply chain disruption was rare--something like big earthquakes, oil shocks, etc. affecting the entire Japanese economy.
Business school types imported this to the US, in part because inventories are often taxed as properties, lowering them could artificially boost stock prices due to lack of carrying costs and the one time bang from dropping inventory without spending to replenish it, etc. It undervalued any supply shocks to a longer and longer system at greater and greater distances.

So tariffs to protect overpriced, inefficient manufacturers are bad. Republicans argued against them. But then what? a country still needs these industries in times of war so you can't just ship it all overseas and become a "service economy" (I hate that term and still don't know what it is supposed to mean.)
But deficits are unsustainable, even with fiat currency. Tariffs solve both problems but economists can not see that. "Assume a can opener" and shove it up your ass.

This is the "spoiler" on my Bingo card for the next couple of years.
So long as Starlink was *purely* civilian, it was in a safer category and unlikely to be a military target, not being a military asset.
That is no longer true. Ukraine has been using it for military purposes. We have the ability to use it for military purposes. Opening it up to insurgents in Iran is arguably a military purpose. That all makes it a military target.
But hard to take it out. Starlink is *big* and far away. The easiest way to do it - and it's a method available to both Russia and Red China - is just to start interfering with orbits with other satellites that happen to explode. Create mess and interference by converting some of the constellation into a lot of wreckage.
And that can close space travel entirely for a goodly while due to the debris field.
I think the odds are low, but they're non-zero and it would be one hell of a black swan.

The Austrians had some good ideas. As a result they were blacklisted and expelled from all universities even in the 40s and 50s. Likely they would have been evolved into nonsense themselves if they had been allowed to exist there.

If it is typical Federal contract they wouldn't have the authority to "cancel" the contract. What the airline would have done is be in default and the government would then Terminate for Default (T4D). Most companies that get T4D usually dissolve as they will never be able to get bonded again.
To bad there is not a Force Work clause in the FAR - basically terminate the contractors management, seize all resources, and take over management of the workforce.
Force Work clause was a holdover from the WWII martial law days in Hawaii.

Starlink recently moved hundreds, if not thousands, of satellites to new orbits so that they'd deorbit more quickly. China would have to make all the near-earth orbits to take down Starlink. There's a reason they're building their own networks.

China, like the old USSR, figures command of space is a critical industry and that is why they are aiming at the Moon, space stations, etc. I don't think they will do it. Likewise the Russians have a lot more to lose from it than gain. Iran is not Russia nor was Venezuela. They have their ass overcommitted enough in Ukraine as to not cause the entire world to want them dead by pulling shit like that.
Iran, I think doesn't have the means anymore to do that. Launching missiles will tend to bring on the IDF in short order. A perchlorate plant blew up this week and the US alos just stopped a Chicom ship and destroyed the missile components at sea and dumped them.

I am still wondering why Libertarians, who have a hard-on for the "Fair Tax" (effectively a very high VAT with lots of cut-outs) but lost their drug-addled minds on the tariff which is a high consumption tax on foreign goods.

That is where their predictive model breaks down. They consider economies as static (because dynamic models are quite frankly beyond macro right now overall) so a reduced trade deficit means less goods coming in and less competition and thus higher prices in the future. Ceterus paribus.
Where it fall short is what the effect of US deportations of at least two million hungry mouths, what is the effect of onshoring using robotics, etc. rather than cheap Chicom or global labor, what is the effect of shorter supply chains, etc. etc. etc.
To these macro types, generally the pie is fixed, a change in one slice must result in the other pie slices being reshuffled. Not a bigger pie.
That is the difference between a useful predictive model rather than the lame ass descriptive models after the fact.

Serious answer because the subject fascinates me and I have asked people involved how it could happen.
They had the peasants go around with bamboo poles and just harass them 24 hours a day never letting them rest until they dropped dead of exhaustion. They couldn't eat, sleep, or nest.

They are a country like Japan or Taiwan, Australia, Germany, or Canada that could go nuclear in a very short period of time if they liked. All have the engineering expertise and access to nuclear materials to do it. The science is fully developed at this point and I am sure that plans for making them have been gathered by most of the developed world by now.

Not really. LEO is easy to get to. Throw a big satellite up in Starlink path and blow it up. Stuff hits the debris fields and turns into more debris. Big smear of debris across LEO would be fairly straightforward - albeit in an "if I'm going down, you're all coming with me" way.

Most Chinese keep their heads down because the new boss is usually just the same or worse than the old boss. The choice of warlordism, invasion of new tyrants, or centralized existing tyrants has been the curse of the Chinese civilization since its history began.
Communism, by displacing traditional Confucianism, added the corrupt veneer of a decadent ruling class as well and destroyed morality among the rest of the population like in other commie nations.

Back in 2020, I figured they would. Japan and Korea at least - and probably Taiwan - *could* have nuclear weapons in fairly short order if they need to. They choose not to because nukes are an exorbitant cost center and a security nightmare. If you don't need them for either your own security or your own external ambitions, pursuing them is foolish in the extreme.
After The Steal, though, it would surprise me not at all if the countries in Asia that *could* do it but *hadn't* yet immediately took the next logical step. Whether they've actually built bombs or just put everything together in a place where they can be assembled rapidly is way outside my knowledge, but I can't imagine they took no action after what happened Over Here. Our nukes were their security umbrella, and it could no longer be counted on. Probably still can't be.

Taiwan was part of the South Africa and Israel research group that led to a nuke being set off in south of S. Africa in the late eighties.
They have the plans, the nuke material, and the test knowledge from that action.
Reportedly Japan has the components but have never crossed the line to make one. Estimates back in the day was that Japan would probably take a week or two to assemble one.
Taiwan might take an additional couple of weeks as Japan actually reprocesses nuke fuel while I don't think Taiwan does.

Revealed: The ICE Agent Who Shot the Paid Antifa Disruptor When She Turned Her Car on Him... Had Been Run Over By An Illegal Alien Six Months Ago, and Dragged Down the Street With His Arm Trapped in the Car
But they're just "protesting," you know.
The ICE agent who opened fire in Minneapolis Wednesday was dragged 100 yards by an illegal migrant in Minnesota last June after his arm was trapped inside the vehicle during a traffic stop, The Post can reveal. The attack on the officer, whom The Post is not naming, happened June 17 in Bloomington, Minnesota, exactly a month after embattled Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz labeled ICE agents "modern-day Gestapo" while speaking at a University of Minnesota Law School graduation in May. ICE agents conducted a traffic stop on Roberto Carlos Munoz, a serial illegal immigrant from Guatemala with a lengthy rap sheet with charges including domestic assault and sex crimes against an underage teenager, according to records. Munoz refused to exit his vehicle when officers approached his car, and the officer broke the back window in order to open the vehicle from the inside. The suspect then sped away with the ICE agent's arm caught between the seat and the car frame, according to the Justice Department. Prosecutors said he was violently dragged more than 100 yards as the suspect weaved back and forth in an attempt to shake him loose from the car. The agent was hospitalized with "significant injuries to his arm and hand," requiring 33 stitches, but made a full recovery, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement at the time. ... A photo shared by CBS Minnesota showed the agent laid out on a hospital bed displaying his arms, one covered in blood seeping from several deep gashes. Munoz was arrested and charged with assaulting the officer and was convicted by a federal jury last month.

Western countries have always had a problem with bored upper middle class women but in previous years society focused them on issues that nominally needed attention - not saying that ended well, but you could see how alcoholism, for example, was a problem in the early 1900s.
The New Left pointed these women at things that aren't problems and now they are wrecking our society.
Also, it doesn't help that a few generations ago these women had children and grandchildren to occupy their energies and now they have...cats.

National Guild commies were right alongside their antifa active participants, filming, etc. so that lawsuits could be filed.
The entire activist left are shitheads that want martyrs so that funds can be raised, people recruited, and the Revolution advanced.
Just like the commie lawyers did way back with Sacco and Venzetti and later the Scottsboro Boys. The point was not to defend their clients but instead to create martyrs and political hoopla.
All those bastards should be disbarred from legal practice.

The 20th Maine says "fix bayonets"
Posted by: man at January 08, 2026 02:31 PM (XuXeR)
======
The magnificent 1st MN Infantry Regiment fixed their bayonets and charged an onrushing Confederate force several times their number to buy time for Hancock while he built a new defensive line. The 1st Minnesota wasn't holding anything - every man knew they were going to be slaughtered. They had the highest casualty rate for a regiment in the Union Army during the three-day Battle of Gettysburg.
And for Walz to even compare himself to the valor of those brave men is disgusting and infuriating to me.

Nah. I think it's already dying because nobody cares about a dead dyke who kicked a bear in the nuts. The more they talk about her, the more it calls attention to MN and why ICE was there (Somali fraud, etc).
Plus, unlike with Saint George of the Holy Overdose, our side is pushing back with positive reporting on the ICE cop. This story won't get traction in the mainstream, and will die.
By Monday, the Outrage Media will have moved on to another Outrage. That's my prediction, at least.

The dyke admits it was "her" fault that the dead lesbo was there. Rumored very early that the "wife/widow" was "well known" as a paid agitator. I read fast and free and am positive I saw this comment in the UK DM yesterday, when the black man was talking to her sobbing as she sat in the snow and she said she was new there and had no friends.
I want to know the name to try to find the rumored child abuse of this person. I say rumored because I am an honest "reporter" and "observer" who is not a dyke.
IF that rumor is true, and this person did burn the child with a cig, I do hope and pray the paternal grandfather can obtain custody. I am unsure but think he resides in CO, where the father of this child died in 2023.
Dyke martyr was apparently married twice and has two older children not living with her. So some comments of her ex husband are the first husband, I guess. Family members of one of the husbands (assume, male) say she had no business there blocking traffic.
It is now written that this "couple" did recently arrive from Missouri, hence the tags on the SUV yesterday.

The old ugly arab women would yell at her for showing her knees (and maybe decolletage) in public. I thought it was bizarre but now it reminds me of these crazy tictoc karens.

Trannies are mentally ill by definition.

They are famously abusive to one another at rates unheard of among gay men. It's almost like toxic femininity unchecked by a larger, more physically powerful man is an absolute danger to everyone. Sorry if that came off as unnecessarily chauvinistic or whatever, but I think it's at the root of a lot of the problems we face right now. Not just lesbians but bored women with no outlet for their female energy other than making their problems everyone else's problems.

All the smoke over whether or not the direction of her SUV's tire is just that that. She injected her self into law enforcement operation, resisted arrest, and then in the act of fleeing she nearly drove over a ICE agent who then defended himself.

I severely doubt it's going to be a conflict of any kind. If it does turn violent, the Fed can turn it into a territory and appoint a governor. SCOTUS would undoubtedly force Congress to allow it statehood after some time, of course.

Yes. Some of the worst domestic violence cases I was involved with involved dykes. Super toxic, super violent, with almost no filter or "cooling off" mechanism. Male abusers tend to cool off and then feel sorry about it. Not so women abusers.
Plus, abusive women tend to use weapons to abuse. Men use fists. There's a reason weapons were invented. They cause more damage than fists.
Posted by: Judge Elric The Blade at January 08, 2026 02:53 PM (iFTx/)
They are famously abusive to one another at rates unheard of among gay men. It's almost like toxic femininity unchecked by a larger, more physically powerful man is an absolute danger to everyone. Sorry if that came off as unnecessarily chauvinistic or whatever, but I think it's at the root of a lot of the problems we face right now. Not just lesbians but bored women with no outlet for their female energy other than making their problems everyone else's problems.

In the incredibly unlikely event that happens, whatever territory we retain is going to have to take some serious steps.
1.) All leading Leftist figures must be publicly humiliated and then executed.
2.) All second tier Leftists need to be permanently interned in prison camps.
3.) All Leftist organizations still extant from prior to or during the war must be disbanded and permanently proscribed. This includes the Democrat Party.
4.) This is the big one - a special unamendable Constitutional requirement that no future government may ever - for any reason - make a single transfer payment to a single citizen. Any check they cut must be easily, demonstrably in return for goods & services. Any attempt to circumvent this will be punishable by death, and death alone. Same goes for any public speech demanding a change to these provisions. If you even suggest it, you die.

The only outright violence I ever saw was some 200 lb. cow repeatedly punching in the face a 105 lb. very pretty blonde as they walked down the street. I stopped my truck, ran over and got in the face of Lardo. Having stopped the assault, I asked the victim if she needed help. She wouldn't even make eye contact and shook her head meekly saying no. I wonder how long she lived. This was around 1975.

Once upon a time, progress meant a tangible conquest of necessity -- something that could be seen, held, and mended. Things have changed.
Anthony Deden Thu 13 Nov 2025
" .... In the early industrial order, money and goods moved together. The banker was the steward of accumulated savings, and the stock exchange was a meeting place between the thrifty and the enterprising. Investment was a form of partnership between labor, invention, and capital. But as the century advanced, finance detached itself from its material foundations. Paper claims multiplied far beyond the stock of tangible goods. The abstraction that had once facilitated trade began to define it.
Two revolutions hastened this separation. The first was monetary: the gradual abandonment of money’s anchor in real value. ..."

I stop, intervene, get between them and stop the assault, and protect her. Then, stunningly, she STARTS YELLING AT AND CURSING ME, telling me to mind my own business. So, off I go on my way shaking my damn head -- while she continues to get bitch-slapped.

Thanks for the information about his suicide. She has another ex who fathered the two older kids, and apparently they are with him. The 6yo was from the dead ex.
IF this child was abused, as I saw a comment about cig burns, I do hope this child is given custody to the parental grandfather. He was said to be driving/flying to MN for him.
I also hope the goFundme dollars go to this child vs the dyke on the sidewalk filming (I want to see that film, now). Odd that we haven't. Maybe she/he will sell to UK DM? I'll bet it shows what happened if inside the car, with both of them yelling and cussing ladylike.

People accept that which corresponds to their preconceptions. We see it in the comments here. Someone will say something... something incorrect... and inflammatory. And several other people will be all hair on fire before someone can post the truth.
Other people will come in, read the original post, go hair on fire before they get to the correction and others will view that as corroboration.

They can try but sentencing guidelines make that very difficult in practice. DoJ gets to appeal any stupid short sentence outside teh guidelines, like in the Kavanaugh assassination case. Judges have to give a legal opinion why the particular sentence departed from the guidelines under specific sections of the Sentencing guidelines.
Back when I did work on it, you would get things like an Orthodox father arguing for a low sentence because he had to supervise his daughters getting married and making a proper match. Overturned on appeal. Another was over the fact that the Mafia don had not had kids yet and deserved time to make a family.
BTW, I checked the AI answer summary and it was fake bullshit on this topic. Sentence outside the guidelines are presumptively a matter for appeal whether upwards or downwards by either side.

Sorry that you had to go through with the abuse and I hope you heal.
But, you just explained why Cops hate domestic violence calls. They cannot win and often it results in injured or dead cops because the cops are at close range instead of a distance from the violence.
Same with arresting protesters when the courts, prosecutors, and pols don't want it. So they sit on the ass and watch people on the right get assaulted in blue areas.

The front tires are turned hard to the left while the 2nd ICE officer was at the driver's door trying to open it. The driver puts the SUV in reverse and executes a clockwise J-turn. She then turns the front tires to the front. Now her car is pointed directly at the first ICE officer.
He had been in a fairly relaxed ready position with his hands up to his chest. He goes to Condition Red and draws his sidearm.
The driver starts to accelerate forward, spinning the 2nd ICE officer off balance, and drives directly toward the 1st officer. He then fires: once into the windshield and then into the open driver's window AFTER he's been struck by the SUV.
The driver made all the decisions that got her killed: she progressed from Obstructing Law Enforcement to Resisting Arrest to Vehicular Assault/Attempted Vehicular Homicide.

While Blue States and Cities continue to incite violence against Fed LEO, hoping for more incidents only they can supposedly impartially investigate.

CBS "News:" The Totally-Legitimate Non-Fraudulent Day Care "Targeted" by Nick Shirley Has Now Closed, For Unkown Reasons We Couldn't Possibly Speculate About
The motive may never be known, they swore.
But we know that "regulators" were purposely not doing any regulating at all. They were not verifying enrollment records.
A Minneapolis day care featured in a right-wing YouTuber's video about alleged fraud in Minnesota is now closed, according to state records. Quality Learing Center [spelling corrected to the proper "Learing"] closed on Tuesday, according to the Minnesota Department of Human Services' licensing records. The Minnesota Department of Children, Youth, and Families said that the center requested closure of its license effective Tuesday. "The provider is unable to reopen without reapplying for a license," the agency reported. The center's last licensing review, in June, found several operational violations but noted no evidence of fraud. ... CBS News conducted its own analysis of several of the day centers Shirley mentioned; all but two had active licenses, according to state records, and all active locations had been visited by state regulators within the last six months.
The Minnesota Department of Children, Youth and Families visited nine of the day cares from the video, finding children present at eight of them.Oh, after the video they rustled up some of their cousins' kids for a bit of matinee theater?
The ninth had not yet opened for the day when inspectors visited. Quality Learning Center received $1.9 million from Minnesota's Child Care Assistance Program in fiscal year 2025, according to the department. DCYF said it was made aware on Dec. 19 that the center intended to voluntarily close, but during a visit 10 days later, it learned it had chosen to remain open. Shirley's video reignited furor over fraud in Minnesota.But not in the media.
Targeted?? Well maybe don’t spell learning wrong at a “learing center” and receive $1.9M from taxpayers for fraud.

No legitimate business catering to children and their parents would operate out of these locations. They were obviously set up on the cheap, in areas not likely to call attention, without any regard to actually catering to children because they never intended to.
I'll bet you any amount of money that multiple "daycares" were operating out of the same space.

Yep, in spades. I did a three-part post here yesterday on how effective audit systems work but I think I bored everyone with it--I never saw a response or a question. The "attendance certification" you speak of is a "internal control".

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if the owners recognized the danger of staying open and closed shop before the craziness escalated.
Yet another small businesses closing under Republican leadership. There's a reason red states are last in education, opportunity, health, employment, pay, life expectancy etc.
It's obviously because they have minorities. If those states were allowed to enslave their minorities, their politicians would let government do good things for the people again. Once ICE deports them all, then we'll be a freakin utopia
Can we talk about how creepy it is this person got near daycares? I wouldn’t want this asshole anywhere NEAR my children.

I'm sure that on the face of it each center had lists of names of enrollees. Lists of endless Somali names like Mohamed Mohamed. Amadou Mohamed. Mohamed Amadou. No Name Given. Names that would be unintelligible to anyone outside the community.
Plus, I'm sure there really were kid enrollees. The kids just never showed up and weren't expected to. It was a classic no-show job where the no-showers got a cut of the action. I'm sure the parents of all these enrollees did too.
Mohamed Mohamed and his wife Noclitus Bacabou had their son Mohamed Mohamed enrolled in probably a dozen daycares. They got a payoff from each of them.
If there ever were actual physical inspections, it was most likely Somalis doing the inspections, who were paid off to say "looks good to me." If it was a white inspector, how much incentive would they have to head-count a bunch of smellies all with the same names?

Under MN law, they are all required to have 75 square feet of outdoor play space per total capacity children.
So, 100 kid capacity means 7500 sqft of outdoor space.
None. Not one had that.
Yet, ever single one passed state initial approval and annual inspections.
But if a native citizen was 5 sqft feet too small? You better bet your last dollar they'd be shut down.

Referrals to the DOJ for criminal prosecution are not news. They are press releases from Congress that they did some theater.
News is the DHS and FBI going door to door in Minneapolis, raiding Somali run businesses all over the place. Which they are doing.
And I seriously doubt Walz gave up his bid to re-election because Kloubacher said mean things to him. He probably got a targeting letter from the DOJ.

Quick through, it seems to say they inspected and verified compliance of those 8.
Closer reading, deciphering the precisely worded and parsed statement, what is really says is:
We checked the records in our file and nothing is out of order.
They never actually, when you read the statement, investigated any of those 8 beyond a cursory glance.

Back in the days of AFDC and the size of the welfare check was directly related to family size, all the welfare cheaters used to pass their kids around when the inspectors came calling to maximize numbers. Back in that day, SSNs for kids was fairly rare.
I am to the point of agreeing with a negative income tax (Friedman's proposal) but eliminating all other welfare and housing programs. Thus, eliminating most of the middle class gubmint workers that suck up a lot of that welfare.

The point of government is to take as much money from taxpayers as possible - so here the regulator's jobs were to keep these places open.
Now, this would be an interesting area for the DOJ to focus on. Bring in these low level schmucks and get them under oath to say what exactly they did before signing off on these places. Then if you catch them in a lie throw them in prison...and they'll talk.

One of the scams that has been mentioned a few times...
Somali Guy Muhammed has one legal wife and 3 religious wives each with a gaggle of kids.
Wife A claims to run a day care with the kids from Wife B, then Wife B with Wife C and so on.
The kids are all ultimately at home with their mothers, but now Uncle Sugar is paying them to do so

Back in the days of AFDC and the size of the welfare check was directly related to family size, all the welfare cheaters used to pass their kids around when the inspectors came calling to maximize numbers. Back in that day, SSNs for kids was fairly rare.
I am to the point of agreeing with a negative income tax (Friedman's proposal) but eliminating all other welfare and housing programs. Thus, eliminating most of the middle class gubmint workers that suck up a lot of that welfare.

Going out everyday to physically inspect homes and at-risk children? That's a lot of work and potentially very icky. So the CPS "inspectors" sit on their asses and do nothing. It's much easier to just check off "inspection was satisfactory" than actually doing any inspection.
So you end up with malnourished kids living in squalor in dangerous, violent homes getting beaten and sometimes killed. But the home has a clean record of inspections at CPS.

Suppose it's possible for a regime to hang on in these circumstances, but it is already greatly weakened.
Protests are explicitly political, not just economic, not about "reform" - but regime change.
Trump repeating his warning, this time saying we'll hit them "hard" if they .... well, if they do what they're already doing (shooting people).
Seems the al-Saud has already banked regime change in Tehran. They're reverting to lots of stupid old-school anti-Israel and even anti-US rhetoric in official media, and turning against the most anit-islamist faction in Yemen, and cozying up to Turkey. Rash moves absent a change of management in Tehran.

But again, it still takes wrecking an entire *system* to pull off that level of fraud. Because filling out bogus "inspection reports" of places you've never been is just the start. Those bogus "reports" are supposed to be sent to a supervisor or supervisors who then review and respond. There's supposed to be some give and take. Further, there's usually specific "forms" (hand-written or digital) that are used to review specific functions and those forms are supposed to be sent as evidence that the reviews took place.
INSTEAD, the entire audit system was junked. Its not just the Somalis. There are a whole bunch of white and brown people who participated in gutting the entire audit system.

I think that reporting's been superceded. The wife was reportedly in the car and ended up covered in blood from the shooting. Or at least that's the current reporting I've seen. I don't know the truth one way or the other.
Posted by: Judge Elric The Blade at January 08, 2026 02:13 PM (iFTx/)
Yeah...why don't we revisit that?
That's a fascinating one. On lefty boards Boelter shot a moderate Dem who just had a high profile vote on immigration crap over...abortion. And they include him in those infographics you've seen where they claim all political violence is by the right.
As noted Boelter said Walz told him to do it, and while that is a wild accusation, the timing checks out since she just voted against Walz on what we see is one of his biggest issues.
But the oddest part is the left quickly yanked this story out of the media which tells you they really don't want normies hearing "One of Gov Walz's flunkies killed an opposing politician and he says he was ordered to do it"

No, well designed audit systems are a thing of beauty. But the moment corrupt people are placed in charge of them AND honest auditors do nothing in response, they become an expense without a return. A whole bunch of white and brown men and women with titles that included words/phrases like "review", "internal review", "internal audit", etc ABSOLUTELY KNEW the (audit) systems were no longer running AT ALL...and they each remained silent and thus complicit.

The "wife" was in the car with her. I'm sure she was videoing everything. Odd that we haven't seen her vid yet. I'm sure it shows how badly she hit the cop. And who knows what they were saying to each other at the time. "Hit the fucking pig"? Odds are at least 50%.

Exactly!!! The video, if it supported the dyke "wife" it would be shown over and over if it did not show the officer being hit...and what the driver was saying. I have no doubt. The dyke filming is supposedly a well known agitator. That comment was made early after the shooting. I think on the UK DM of the "wife" wailing in the snow.
That dyke "wife" should not be able to touch a dollar of the half million goFundme pity money. Especially IF the child abuse claim of her burning that child with a cig is true.

From what I saw and read this morning, the wife was out of the car and using her phone to video the incident. The reporting is she was dressed in a black/grey flannel jacket and was located at the back passenger side corner of SUV. Just prior to the shooting the ICE agent and her were interacting with each and when other agents started to remove Good from the SUV the agent moved to the front of the car. After the shooting the wife then ran to where Good crashed into a parked car.

Nick Shirley's New Scoop: There Are 1000s of Fraudulent Minnesota (Somali) "Transport Companies" Taking Federal Money to Drive Around Patients, But the Patients are Phantoms
I'm beginning to see a pattern.
More:
YouTuber Nick Shirley says Minnesota's non-emergency medical transportation system has become a sprawling fraud operation hiding in plain sight, alleging that more than 1,000 transport companies are billing taxpayers for services that appear not to exist. In a video posted Monday, Shirley said his yearlong review of state records, site visits, and documentation -- conducted with a researcher he identified only as David -- points to a network of shell transportation outfits clustered around adult daycare centers, charter schools, and Medicaid-funded programs, particularly in the Twin Cities. "To have that many non-emergency medical transportation companies, it's not possible that they can transport that many people," David said, describing repeated visits to a Minneapolis facility where vans "have not moved one inch in an entire year," despite ongoing billing. ... Similar whistleblower complaints have surfaced in Maine and Ohio involving Somali-led health providers, and on Monday HHS disclosed new scrutiny tied to foreign officials. "I can confirm public speculation that Ambassador Abukar Dahir Osman, Permanent Representative of Somalia to the UN and President of the Security Council, is in fact associated with Progressive Health Care Services, a home health agency in Cincinnati," Deputy HHS Secretary Jim O'Neill wrote, adding that HHS "has previously taken action against Progressive in response to a conviction for Medicaid fraud."
Shirley's new video dials things up to 11. David Hoch, co-founder of Minnesotans for Responsible Government, joined him on the ground in Minneapolis, revealing an insane truth: this fraud hits hundreds of billions nationwide. Minnesota's slice? At least $80 billion. Layers of shell companies obscure the cash trail, including 1,200 medical transport outfits in the area that do nothing while collecting taxpayer dollars. Hoch swears by his evidence. "I have been to many of these transportation companies, and I've been time-stamping my photographs for a whole year at one facility in Minneapolis, and those vans in that parking lot had not moved one inch in an entire year. They're all still sitting there." Hoch also revealed a widespread ballot-harvesting operation tied to Somali communities in Minnesota, claiming the scale of the activity is "way beyond anybody's imagination," adding that "the state doesn't even know" and "the feds don't even know." Shirley asked Hoch why a judge would allegedly defer to what he described as the "head of the Somali mafia." Hoch responded that the influence stems from raw political power. He described the Somali community as a unified voting bloc that has effectively held Minnesota Democrats hostage. "What they say is if you do something to go against our community, we're gonna vote for, and they all vote together, and there's ballot harvesting, I've seen them do it, that, "We're gonna vote for your opponent, unless you do what we tell you to do.

@WallStreetApes A Somalian man named Mohammed took the podium in Maine to deliver a warning to Democrats If you keep talking about the fraud taking place, the entire voting community will abandon Democrats He actually says this, DEPORT THEM ALL 'Somalians came out in droves, demanding the city NOT investigate one of their own, Iman Osman' "My name is Mohamed. I'm speaking today on behalf of the Somali community in Lewiston. Some of you sitting here today, we voted for you. We elected you to protect our community interests, not creating division or go after one elected member from our community. This narrative, if this narrative continues, our community will be forced to re-examine our relationship or political relationship, including our relationship with the Democratic Party and who will be voting in the future." The Somalian man they are demanding they stop investigating is the Somalian refugee named Iman Osman who will be sworn into the Lewiston Maine City Council even though he's under investigation for fraud and lied about his address to run for the seat He's - Charged will stealing firearm
- Provided a false address to run for seat
- Lied about the address and reasoning
- Address given was condemned and raided for drugs
- He also currently sits on Lewiston School Board

You see, everyone had to meet quotas, and quotas went up every year regardless. So in the end the customer would show up at store and there was nothing to buy.
This feels like that -- we have transportation companies delivering non-people to care facilities, etc. It is all fraud.

Minnesota is going to be a liberal state even without the invading somalis. If liberal leaders secretly helped Trump weed out the somalis fraud, and deport all of them, they'll still stay in power but without having to bow down to this 3rd world trash.
But liberals have so much self hatred that they'll give themselves over to somalis and bow down to their demands, all because they hate their own white heritage.

The VA Medical Center and Clinics here have & utilize legit transport vans (I know some of the drivers): DAV for ambulatory veterans (including wheelchair-accessible transport); and Veterans Transportation Service (VTS) to assist qualifying Veterans who lack access to transportation due to financial, medical, or other reasons.

Tim Pawlenty (R) was governor until 2011. Norm Coleman was GOP senator up to 2009 until Al Franken cheated him out with the notorious ballots in the back of a car trick.
It is the typical metro versus the countryside dynamic. Minneapolis and St. Paul are concentrations of the AWFLS, gubmint workers, and mega corp types versus the farmers, business types, etc. in the rest of the state.

MN is on the verge of turning Republican. It's trending that direction, and Kamala only won the state by 4.

I don't know Nick's motive for lying about that is - he certainly knows better. Perhaps he wants to keep the focus on the vulnerable MN Dems for political reasons.
But in general, the media does this because I needed to explain that to my wife, which is the point... she was pissed about it when she thought it was just MN, but she was *furious* when she found out it was *our* money being stolen.
Most people don't understand this or even know someone who does and can explain it to them. It's very important to deceive people about the source of these funds, so they don't come saying for Dem blood in all 50 states.

Probable cause. I am thinking now that Elon is correct, the fraud is on the level of at least a trillion bucks maybe up to 1.5 trillion of fraud, waste, and abuse. Get rid of that, we have no income tax.
These grifting sobs are literally taking chunks of people's lives where they work, not for pleasure, but for money to pay their bills.
Tax on labor is the most recessive of all because it punishes people for working to keep the lights on, their children fed, and to pay the necessary bills to survive.

TINY-HANDED TIRADE
Donald Trump has called for mass arrests among Minnesota’s Somali community as the state reels from the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old U.S. citizen by a federal immigration agent.
“Arrest them all. They are criminals!!!” the president wrote on Truth Social early Thursday, linking to a story by right-wing outlet Just the News about cash transfers to Somalia from the Minneapolis airport.
Fuck every ICE agent because at this point, they’re all guilty.Even the ones who haven’t committed any crimes *yet.* Also, is it possible to revoke a presidential pardon made by a previous president? Because I feel like we should be throwing people back in jail
I remember when Republicans were outraged by an idea Biden was colluding with the justice department, without evidence. Trump is now openly and unabashedly colluding with the justice to attack his perceived enemies...and Republicans are completely on board. It's wild to watch.

Boise elected a commie AWFL mayor and the Mormons are still bringing in their slave labor from every rat rodeo country on earth by the planeload. Good money in it for them. Lots of hijab zombies wandering around in the stores downtown with 5 kids under 10 who can't speak a word of English (kids or Mom).
I'd bet my best nut that the fraud is here in Idaho big time.

I remember returning back from college and working summers in my hometown of Las Vegas in the early 80s.
Couldn't afford a car, so I rode my 10-speed bike everywhere, including 20 miles back and forth to work. I have this vivid memory of riding over the I-15 freeway on Charleston Blvd to work each morning ... and below me to the north seeing some small-time strip club with a big billboard advertising "Marilyn Chambers" -- whom I had no idea at the time who she was.
Creepily, when I "discovered" her years later, she looked quite a bit like my girlfriend from that earlier time ... oh, to be so innocent again.

If you keep talking about the fraud taking place, the entire voting community will abandon Democrats
This is the deal the Dems struck with them.
Pay to bring them here, give them welfare/jizya, and share the graft and then the Somalis will let the Ds harvest their ballots.
So what do the Dems do now? They can get the fake votes elsewhere, maybe, but not only were these great grafting opportunities they were also mirrors of ones the Ds have with other illegals so those are presumably about to get exposed too...

To be vulgarian, the old saw is that the size of the hands relates to the size of a man's wedding tackle. Snarky way of saying small penis.
If I recall right though, it is the difference in length between the index and ring finger that matters which has something to do with estrogen versus testerone levels in an embryo while developing.

The most recent addresses of the ghey poet are from VA. Driving a SUV with Missouri tags...and many national park stickers on the SUV. I wonder if they were doing the "van life" to not have an address to avoid CPS? Paid agitators? Visiting family in MN over the holidays and getting some pay at the same time?

The Morning Rant: Our Goal In Venezuela Should Not Be The Creation Of a Jeffersonian Democracy
She also issued sharp criticism of Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez, who was sworn in as interim president on Monday. Rodríguez has served as vice president under Maduro since 2018. "Delcy Rodriguez, as you know, is one of the main architects of torture, persecution, corruption, narco trafficking," Machado said. "She's the main ally and liaison with Russia, China, Iran, certainly not an individual that could be trusted by international investors. And she's really rejected, repudiated by the Venezuelan people."
Machado's presence in Venezuela will be a perfect focus for the people's efforts to overthrow the communist structures of government and the military. She is far too public and well known a figure for the current dictator to arrest and kill her, and she can be a continual reminder of their manipulation of the 2024 presidential election. The Trump administration's assumption that Delcy Rodríguez is the correct choice to maintain some semblance of continuity in government is an odd one, since she is simply a reflection of Maduro's fanatical anti-Americanism, and a willing participant in the evil perpetrated by the communist government. Hopefully she will be kept on a very short leash as the Venezuelan people do the work to dismantle communism. But even if Rodríguez remains in power, as long as our national security interests proceed, that is up to the people of Venezuela to remedy. The real question is whether a communist dictatorship is structurally capable of functioning as an honest player on the world stage. The historical record suggests that the answer is a resounding "NO!" So communism in Venezuela will probably end if our goals are to be achieved. But that is a delightful bonus...not the end game.

There is absolutely nothing laudable about Democracy. It is a form of government that can work, but the ought never to be the goal, as democracy can be a terrible form of government. (Two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner.)
Good government is the goal, no matter the form.

The stupidity of trying to run a country inevitably turns the locals against the occupying power. Better to simply require what we need, no terrorist support, no narco trafficking, no bothering neighbors by threats of invasion and the critical oil money is used to benefit Venezuelans directly rather than stashed in Swiss bank accounts of fat generals, or to benefit China, Cuba, Iran, or Russia.
Machado has to win the support of Venezuelans, you can't just give it to her in order to govern without American troops on the ground.
Like Iraq would have been far better off and a lot of US troops alive and unmaimed if we simply knocked of Saddam (popular among the Iraquis) rather than try to fashion Iraq into a democracy. That fantasy directly costs blood, lives, and treasure of the US to no avail.
The only difference is Meet the New Boss, Just the Same as the Old Boss running Iraq.

The real question is whether a communist dictatorship is structurally capable of functioning as an honest player on the world stage.
The key is to take away the power of other countries (Iran, Cuba, China, Russia) to prop up the Venezuelan thugs. Trump is working on all of these, as opposed to his predecessor's attempts to conduct regime change in a vacuum.

NYC's Mamdani Says Something Completely Reckless About the Minneapolis ICE Shooting
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani

Realism is accepting that the VP and her brother (head of the legislature) has some power in Venezuela. Her swearing in was based on the Venezuelan Supreme Court. Neither Gonzalez, oppo leader on the ticket cheated out of victory nor Machado, who did not even appear on the ballot, have any levers of power unless US troops are on the ground to protect them.
That starts the same mess that the US have done time and again. What the US is best at is preventing outsiders like Russia, China, etc. from exerting much influence to keep rotten leaders in power and a narrow focus on controlling oil revenues means that it relies on the US Navy for enforcement, not the men in camo. That oil money is how the rotten POS leaders in Venezuela kept power and if that money is no longer controlled by them, automatically less power to pay their thuggish underlings.

We cannot fix other countries. Wilson was a stupid idiot for even suggesting it with his War to End All Wars.
So like back in teh Cold War, we reward countries that toe the line (don't bother the neighbors or US citizens, don't support terrorists, don't screw with int'l trade, etc. and we won't decapitate teh regime.
Nation building was off teh table in places like Chile, Grenada, Lebanon, or Argentina.
Pointy heads think they can fix the world but only if they have the blood and treasure from teh US. We don't have the money, nor should be willing to spend the blood of troops to provide what will be ungrateful Venezuelans a government.
We can, however, with credible authority, tell Venezuelan leaders that if they make a nuisance of themselves, we won't invade but will instead personalize the accountability for those leaders and they will end up like Maduro.

Delcy Rodriguez runs the Executive and Legislative branches, and most of the official economy.
Vladimir Padrino Lopez runs the Army, and the Generals who make up the Cartel de los Soles. He tolerates Rodriguez, but does not take orders from her, and since he controls most of the guns she doesn't dare challenge him. (but he took a big fall in status when his military got their butts kicked)
Most dangerous man in Venezuela is the Interior Minister Diosdado Caballo. He runs the secret police and all the paramilitary police who control the people on a street by street level. He is seldom seen in public, since the US has already placed a $25 million bounty on his head. But he could bring the entire country into absolute chaos if he chose. Delcy has probably been chosen in the belief that she is the only one that can keep him in check.
Machado is a wonderful person, but she does not have a hope of controlling any of these three.

Not odd to me at all. It was a good move. Machado has to earn her way to a leadership position - assembling leaders ready to lead an entire country. The last thing the US wants is a full-scale civil war in Venezuela. Meanwhile, Rodriguez owns the misery index - none of the sanctions imposed on the Maduro government have been lifted. Venezuela is even now cutting back on oil exports. Constant, even increasing pressure on Rodriguez will make political change even more attractive in the country.
From what I've read, none of the sanctions imposed on Maduro have been lifted. The Venezuela misery index is all on Rodriguez. Marchado

Of course there are gonna be big open questions as to what happens next, and almost certainly some chaos in the weeks and months that follow. I suspect that one of the Big Three currently running the country will get stabbed in the back by the other two.

/Yeah, my mind works in mysterious ways ... it's all right, it's all right, right now.
[BTW, and I've mentioned this before here: my freshman year of college ('79-'80) at a small private liberal arts college in SoCal, my best friend was an Armenian Christian classmate and fellow athlete whose parents had escaped Iran and loved America. Following the Revolution there and the taking of American Embassy hostages, I was flabbergasted that throughout that year he was taunted and threatened by other students -- most of whom were trust fund whitebread babies simply talking tough.
It all ended when a mostly drunken literal mob confronted us on campus one evening (I took it upon myself to be his protector and bodyguard) and they were sceaming "USA! USA! USA!"
And we both joined in ...]

Making Venezuela safe for Democracy is how you get a nasty guerilla war from the losing side and the US gets blame for doing what has to be done for their installed leaders to win. Iraq and Afghanistan told us that. Most people in any society across the world and history will always sit on their ass and cheer the winners--that is simply the way that it is.
And in a genetic sense, that is the usual smart play. Better a live coward than a dead hero.
But the US does not have to play that game here and now. Only provide clear red lines for any regime that threatens or harms us and what will happen specifically to the leaders of such government.

Former NFL offensive lineman Matt Kalil is hauling his glamorous ex-wife, model Haley Kalil, into court for what he’s calling an “invasive” breach of his most private secrets.
The 36-year-old retired Pro Bowler, known for his stints with the Minnesota Vikings and Carolina Panthers, claims Haley’s loose-lipped livestream comments about the size of his manhood have turned his life into a nightmare.
. . . .
With a flair for the dramatic, she described Matt’s manhood as measuring up to “two Coke cans, maybe even a third,” slamming it as “the biggest factor” in their marriage’s collapse.
To drive the point home, Haley flopped her arm on the table in a crude imitation, declaring, “Deada**… for our whole marriage, deada**,” and quipping that her life felt like a comedy because of it.

It was anecdotal, but someone that works at a twin cities airport said all the flights from Minneapolis back to Somalia or to other places are completely full of Somalies. They had never seen anything like it. And apparently one Somali was caught with $700k in gold coins trying to smuggle them out of the US.

-Leave Rodriguez in power
-Remove the entire leadership caste, and see who seizes the vacuum organically.
-Remove leadership and install someone of our own choice, and try to prop them up as best we can
-Conquer the entire place, declare it US soil, and install a military governor
The second and third almost amount to the same thing, and are basically the "Regime Change" model that has been demonstrated to not work.
The last one is only possible if America is willing to go Full Empire and not stop at just Venezuela. And you never go Full Empire because the moment the fire of expansion stalls out, the whole thing collapses.
So basically, we're left with leaving what's her nuts in power and holding a big, sharp sword over her head.

Winston Churchill comes to mind, Democracy is the worst form of government except when compared with all the others.
The major flaw in the Constitution is that political parties arose to 'fix' the separation of powers problems despite most of the Founders deploring parties (John Adams was the exception to the rule). With parties, you get the organized log rolling to overcome the difficulties in getting a law passed or some other action done. But that also introduces a temptation for the power mad, the corrupt, and the division into team Red and team Blue on process rather than results. That also leaves a large pool of people that view both parties as assholes and demotivates them to participate.
Parties enable things to get done but at the same time can and do undermine our republic.

Attended a college football game about 5 years ago and went to buy a bottle of water (yeah, it was like $5). They no longer take cash for any purposes now at any stadiums -- credit or debit cards only.
Also a decade ago was shopping around for a local dermatologist to perform a skin cancer screening. I always explain that I don't have health insurance (wifey and I, who are fortunately very healthy, refuse to participate in DeathCare ) and ask for the cash prices.
The first place I called said don't take cash -- only insurance (which is "legalized" overbilling & fraud) I LOL'd and replied "So I guess you don't want my money? Good luck with that ..." and hung-up.
Wrote a very popular Yelp review of the incident. I wonder how much other money they didn't want or get as a result ...

Setting the screen mode to "Cinema," "Movie," or "Filmmaker" will get you 80-85% there. (Avoid "Vivid," "Sports," "Game," or anything like them.) A pro calibration will take you to 100%. Worth the money, IMO.

They won't campaign on it, might even blather about a secure border and that will fool the LIV's. Once back in power it will be open borders and not only will they allow the deportees back in, they will order ICE/Border Patrol patrol to track them down and pay their expenses to return if they wish.

And is that any different than Dubya's Iraq adventure? Dems come in with Obama and allow Iran and the Shia militias to run the place to the detriment of the other minorities.
Trump is trying to walk the US back from what Jerry Pournelle called, an incompetent Empire.
If we want to be an Empire, then we have to do things like the Brits did, use the internal splits in a country--pick one minority to oppress the others, and do mass killings every now and again by superior technology if the locals revolt. Democracy never came into the picture unless, like Canada and Australia/New Zealand, they demonstrated the ability to do so while expanding the Empire. They were a competent Empire until WWI happened.
We never were because we are not ruthless enough.

The economy is shot because of socialism, the external market for petroleum is shot because of the USN, same for a fair percentage of the coke being shipped out.
Maduro had been doing the "don't worry be happy" tour to try to hold things together, Rodriguez pretty much has the secret police since that was shown to be completely false -- and Trump offers her a lifeline.
She is a power player, and wants to go out on her feet if she has to go. She is also claims to be a patriot.

Indeed, trying to create a Jeffersonian democracy, which is not in itself a particularly good system given how poorly Jefferson led, is doomed to fail, but it does not mean the attempt to evade action will be any more successful.
If you want to eliminate drug smuggling and the like from Venezuela, you need to eliminate the drug smugglers in Venezuela. That means troops or whoever committed there. If that means local rule is delayed, then local rule is delayed.

Good points. Somehow, perhaps with Coolidge, the GOP developed flacidity as its main goal for fear of doing something wrong. Coolidge, for example, saw the coming financial panic coming due to Wall Street speculation but declined to do anything about it. Ike felt winning the Cold War by sleight of hand was better than challenging and cutting back Democrat excess via the New Deal. Nixon declined to challenge JFK's fraud and failed to consolidate his winnings in Vietnam in 72 becuz Watergate. He also surrendered on the home front (EPA, affirmative action, War on Poverty, price controls, were all done under his watch). I can go on.

Au contrauire, his statement was deftly done. He voted for Kamala, and has a primarily center-left audience. He's giving his seal of approval to the legality of the shooting (which is the big thing), while offering a lame pat on the head to his the more leftist members of his audience. The key is the word is out that the shooting is legally justified.

After WWI and WWII, the main colonizers were broke. Plus the manpower they used to keep the peace in colonies was by and large dead, wounded, or severely disinterested in fighting in combat again.
The US and USSR, for their own reasons, were also demanding the tired colonial powers to give up their colonies so that the Great Game would be competing for those newly independent colonies for trade, bases, and bennies.
US became a trading empire like Athens relying on its Navy and Air Force with enclaves around the world. The USSR became an actual empire itself with its Brezhnev doctrine that once a nation goes commie, it cannot revert. See Afghanistan and other places as examples.

I and others have long noted that most of Central and South America's governments are troubled because they are descended from Spanish Colonial Government, which gives them a 400 year tradition of rampant corruption and misrule.
Which is probably why they have a far better chance of an efficient government with a benevolent dictator than with pure democracy, which seems to always turn into a contest of everybody grab what they can get while they can get it.

Brits came to that conclusion as well. The last impeachment in the United Kingdom was that of Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville, in 1806, who was accused of misusing public funds but ultimately acquitted by the House of Lords.
Founders were divided at the Convention. At the time, the famous and failed impeachment of Warren Hastings over his actions in India was occurring (1786 to 1795). He was overwhelmingly acquitted.
For bonus points, the leader of Parliament trying to impeach Hastings was Edmund Burke.

I somehow managed to acquire the China Lung Rot in February 2020. I hadn’t had any sort of Flu in about 15 or 20 years, but I knew I was in for an unpleasant experience. Ordinarily I quit the ciggies, as a bacterial lung infection is not a pleasant upgrade.
Fever was 104 and not going away. Then, the word went out from China that former smokers who acquired the lung rot were dying all out of proportion compared to smokers.
Do I quit for the duration, or not? LOL

I drive several hours each day for work (as a courier) and carry a modern "lunch box" -- light zippered material with a slot for an ice pack, and carry water & electrolyte bottles and occasionally food.
Also a side bonus -- especially in the Arizona summers: my mobile phone frequently gets so hot (usually streaming something and/or charging in the heat) that it overheats and I an place it in my lunch box next to the ice pack to cool it back down to a reasonable and operable temperature.

Kari Lake buys Iowa condo as speculation swirls about her future. The twice-defeated Arizona candidate has long flirted with politics in her home state.
Kari Lake...recently purchased a $60,000 condo in her home community of eastern Iowa...Official property records from Scott County, Iowa, show the November sale of the two-bedroom condominium in a brick apartment building in Davenport to a family trust controlled by Lake. She graduated from a high school near the property before attending the University of Iowa.
Sen. Grassley has not closed the door on running for re-election in 2028, but would be 95 years old on Election Day if he pursued another term.
In early 2025, as Iowa’s other Republican senator, Joni Ernst, faced criticism from Trump loyalists over her support for the incoming president’s agenda, Lake planned a political visit to the greater Des Moines area. A source familiar with her political interests said at the time that Lake had not ruled out a primary challenge to Ernst, who later announced she would retire rather than seek re-election.

You can buy 3 bedroom houses for $100k in many parts of the country. And not in the ghetto or tear downs. Actual livable homes for regular people.

I love Huey Lewis and The News. Yes, they were phenomenally successful, but I believe they were underrated musically.
Posted by: Bad Andrew at January 08, 2026 10:18 AM
I got to see them in the early 2000's past their peak popularity by a few years. It was about a 3000 seat venue.
They played for about an hour and a half and i knew every word to every song they played.
Pretty impressive. They were huge back Inna day.

Yep. Federal officer doing official federal law enforcement activities on the clock. State prosecutors do not have jurisdiction. Plus, qualified immunity applies--that means that the court takes into account the officer's perspective based on facts on the ground as to whether USING THE TOTALITY OF CIRCUMSTANCES, whether the officer acted reasonably. That means you do not pick and choose which instances apply and which do not. The entire extended confrontation applies from the moment that perp blocked ICE vehicles. It includes objective notice that opponents of ICE enforcement are using cars as weapons by ramming ICE vehicles, that the road was slippery, the positions of the officers (they have no requirement to retreat nor get out of the way of someone if that person had been issued an order to stop), the risk to a fellow officer (the agent who had their hand inside the vehicle attempting I think to switch it off), what was said by the driver, and the physical injury to the agent.

Not necessary, she was given a lawful order to stop and she disobeyed. She was also dragging another officer a bit trying to drive off. But, if you actually look at the officers, not her, the road was a roller rink and officers were slipping. One video shows the contact between the vehicle and the officer and he is literally skating backwards. That means lateral movement could very well lead to a fall right in front of the vehicle.
At this point, I conclude people coming on here are simply trolling and could not actually state what the rules of engagement for law enforcement if their life depended on it. Instead they cherry pick instead of like the courts must do, the whole of the event. She was a fleeing felon so Garner does not apply. The actions of the officer were reasonable as there is no duty for officers to retreat in ANY state or federal law, and she ended up dead due to her own actions threatening death and serious injury to them for a stupid illegal protest.

These protesters are not sitting in lunchrooms, registering people to vote, etc. Instead, like leftists do nowadays, they commit a long list of crimes, up to and including felony assaults on officers trying to enforce this nation's laws. Democrats, AWFLs, are not exempt from being prosecuted by some sort of warped privilege that these characters have in their minds.

She'd been chasing them around all day. She was probably high on adrenaline, especially once she got so close.
She couldn't process information well in that situation, and she panicked. Probably shouldn't have put herself into a situation she couldn't process but could lead to felonious action on her part.

Futhermore, caught him in a lie about reading Scotus cases (probably read some AI summary).
You can tell because they misapply the word reasonable to be subjective and ignore the totality of circumstances requirement to determine what is reasonable. By only focusing on the shots, they miss the fact that this dead poet took every step to increase danger to the ICE officers and defy lawful orders to stop. She had already assaulted one ICE officer by dragging him/her a short way while teh officer was trying to execute a stop and all of this occurred in roughly 25 seconds.

That's literally the opposite of what Garner says:
"The use of deadly force to prevent the escape of all felony suspects, whatever the circumstances, is constitutionally unreasonable."
They then establish the "reasonableness framework" for when deadly force can be considered appropriate.

Because the Democrat party is now a crime syndicate, it is acting like any criminal organization and it is desperate to keep the grift going and keep stealing hundreds of billions if not trillions from taxpayers to win ultimate power. These protesters do not give one shit about illegals but rather that Team Blue stays in power forever. To that end, they adopted the commie mindset that power has its own justification beyond any existing laws or restraint. Like in 1861, they have declared themselves and the jurisdictions they control as beyond the reach of the law and that includes their hacks in black adding fuel to the fire.
The Democrats have crossed the Rubicon by their lawbreaking and now it is a question for Republicans and normies what to do about this monstrous criminal organization and its footsoldiers.

I think they have stopped using 40 S&W and 357 Sig as general issue but do not know if they still allow some agents to carry those under grandfathering rules.

If fearing the worst, get an AR pistol for travel as a 223 penetrates car bodies with ease and you have the mag capacity. In most states, it is illegal to carry a loaded long gun (poaching is the reason), but an AR pistol is not covered. Do be aware that some unfree states might need following the federal FOPA laws to pass--locked container, no mag or bullet in chamber, passing through, etc.
NY State and city and NJ are particularly unfriendly to passage under FOPA .

The Morning Report — 1/8/26
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.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.
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.

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.

The Insurrection Act is 10 USC Sec 331-335.
331 is the "voluntary" section, where the governor requests federal troops.
332 and 333 are the involuntary ones, where the president can act on his own.

(1) so hinders the execution of the laws of that State, and of the United States within the State, that any part or class of its people is deprived of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection named in the Constitution and secured by law, and the constituted authorities of that State are unable, fail, or refuse to protect that right, privilege, or immunity, or to give that protection;

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%.

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.
We have have entered the Dark Walz era, where he isn’t afraid and pussyfooting around due to the upcoming election. He is just (rightfully) seething pissed.

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.
Posted by: LizLem at January 08, 2026 07:55 AM (gWBY1)
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.

Yes, and they tracked gifted children for further enhancement. There’s no shame in working a mechanic’s job or “blue collar”. Johnny Von Neumann was recognized early on, as very gifted in Math, as a child. His teacher said “Hey, your kid is something else, let’s send him to schools that will advance his skills better than I can.
No telling what modern schools do to kids like this today, but we have plenty of examples. He would likely be drugged and mind-fvcked.

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”.

"California has spent $24 billion in the last five years on homelessness. No one can account for where that money really went."
"So the first thing I did was set up that task force, and all we did was follow the money. We already charged millions of dollars in fraud. I can tell you more charges are coming. Probably as soon as this month."

because it WAS her fault
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."
unfortunately with enough support from the Leftist machine, they are in fact "effective" at mayhem and even running towns and cities (into the ground).

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.

I would honestly be surprised if Walz personally got a cut of the lucre. Sure, there were the donations to his campaign, but he seems to be rather poor himself.
He seems to just be a true believer who wanted to "do good" by facilitating massive fraud for people who showed up in our country 3 days ago.

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.

She played the Death Card.
She put that on the table, when she refused to shut off and exit the vehicle as ordered.
The clunk of the transmission into "drive" was when she slapped that Death Card on the table.
She chose to risk the death of the officers.
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.

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

Yes, she was dumb and brainwashed.

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.

This is false as a matter of law. Tennessee vs Garner (SCOTUS) established precisely the opposite:
"The use of deadly force to prevent the escape of all felony suspects, whatever the circumstances, is constitutionally unreasonable."
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.
The case then goes on to outline when it would be "reasonable" to use deadly force. 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.

Worse, she was, according to another 'protestor' the lead in a caravan that was stalking ICE during the day. Compounding that with interfering with their operations, and then refusing lawful orders to get out of her SUV, she stacked a number of misdemeanors in pursuit of a political goal. They had every reason to arrest her.

Spoken by someone who has never been in a hot situation where someone is trying to kill you. Adrenaline, basic survival instinct, etc.
Or by anyone who knows anything at all about defensive shooting.
You don't stop to admire the handiwork and grouping after a shot or two. It isn't explosions or large blood splatter like shooting zombies in a video game. Watch some of those videos from body cams and the perps absorb shots like a sponge.
There are also many cases where trained officers were in a shootout and point blank range and somehow every shot missed the intended target.
Shoot until threat is gone.

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.

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’

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.

- The GMK Evo T2 is a mini PC with the also newly announced Intel Core Ultra X9 388H and up to 128GB of RAM. (Liliputing)
The memory is soldered in, whatever configuration you choose, because that is the only option with the 388H. It used LPDDR5X-9600 RAM, so the bandwidth is 50% higher than you can get from conventional SODIMMs - and the graphics performance is 50% higher than previous Intel models.
Expect this one to be expensive though.

Meaning that it sticks five fake frames between each two rendered frames, rather than just three. Making graphics buttery smooth, and game responsiveness a tar pit full of dead dinosaurs.

Shah, Jr. has called for all protestors to chant the exact same slogan all over the country at 8PM today local time (UTC + 03:30, EST + 08:30).
He also said the mullahs are cutting the internet, and do not be dissuaded by that.

Morning, Pooksygirl,
Well, aside from the detail that I haven't seen anybody here (let alone a white man) wearing a three-piece suit and fedora in decades, it does look like they filmed it in the French Quarter. The white building at the far end behind the action suggests that they were shooting on one of the two one-block-long streets in the Quarter. The streets don't dead-end, but they run for one block only.
The trumpet player does look like Louis Armstrong, and Scatman John calls him "Satch" (short for "Satchmo") and "Louis." But I have no idea what or where the night shots are supposed to be. What are "Fried Ergs"?
I's fun and energetic, anyway.

In the shop was a very nice men wearing a large cross. It had some words around the cross. I didn't ask him what they were, ( maybe John 3:16) but I did thank him for his witness.
So everyday if we ask I do believe God will show us something of himself/ his love, his creatively in nature, his presence, his work through other people. I am grateful to God for that.
What is a beautiful part of nature where you live?

There should be no real motivator to get violent with a cop who's arresting you, because you'll simply have your day in court and everything will be fine. If the courts are going to railroad you anyway just to make a buck and flex their power, suddenly it's a problem. (And if you are just a straight up criminal trying to get away with something by merking a cop, then you get your ass shot and the world is a better place, which is a victory condition.)
If you're a cop, there should be no real motivator to shake down people who aren't doing anything wrong, because if you do bring in innocent people, and create friction in the community, the DA and the chief of police ought to be firing you, and possibly fining you for it too if it's egregious enough.
This is all super Pollyanna/Pangloss kind of stuff. But fanciful or not, i have to figure it's at least the Platonic Ideal for the foundations of a not effed up society. Part of the "trust" in "high trust society".

Kudos to Bose. INMSHO, they're overpriced and overhyped, slightly above middlin' quality gear, but this, this they done good.
The reflex, of course, is to demand that "the government" do something. Write regs, create commissions etc. No, what we need is a couple of class action suits with multi-million payouts against the likes of John Deere.

Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the post-cafe overnight variety.
Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Good will offerings of amusing puns are happily accepted. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors.Thank you for those who participated. The challenge had two parts - financial data and events. The financial predictions attracted 19 participants. The event predictions attracted 37 participants. Financial metrics: cost of gasoline, S&P 500, dollar to Euro exchange rate, 2x4 lumber, Ford F-150 MSRP, Bitcoin, share price of Smith & Wesson, Home Depot and Tesla. The winner of the financial metrics challenge is: Publius Redux. Blaster was a very close second place and Pennsyltucky was close behind in third. The rest of the rankings:
Dave H
Grateful
Anonymous Rogue in Kalifornistan (ARiK)
Gouverneur Morris

no one of any consequence
Luca I
Mikeski
PaleRider

The clear winner of the event prediction challenge is PaleRider who guessed ALL ten correctly. Impressive. Nobody else was close. Several guessed seven but nobody guessed eight or nine.

Dublin's Sean O'Casey Bridge, which has been unable to open to shipping for the past four years, was finally re-opened in the past few weeks after experts created a new remote control for the structure. Spanning the Liffey between the IFSC and City Quay, it's designed to swing apart to allow sail-craft upriver as far as the Talbot Memorial Bridge. The design includes two 44-metre-long arms, capable of swinging open when required. That operation is controlled by a hand-held remote device - that device went missing some years ago, meaning openings were no longer possible. Speaking to this website, Financial Advisor to the Authority John Crawley confirmed that it was once again possible to open the structure to shipping, following an engineering review. A lack of funding meant the process couldn't happen until recently, he said. As part of the overhaul, work has been carried out on the bridge itself, and contractors were tasked with "reprogramming an opening device," Crawley said. "Its not like a Sky box remote control. You have to make sure that it's a secure system, so there are layers of security." An Irish-based firm carried out the reprogramming, and that aspect of the work cost around €1,800, Crawley said.

If we postpone Civil War 2, and the walls come down after you're gone, do you really trust the next generation to defend the Republic from the Marxists?

One of the biggest problems in the modern world is... THE ALGORITHM.
The MSM, of course, has long said what the left wants it to say but social media... social media tries to give you content which will keep you engaged. So, particularly if you're on the left, it also tells you what you already think. And it never tells you anything else.
It's not that his advisors are insane. It's that, literally, everything they see, or hear, anywhere, tells them that EVERYONE supports them and that they're totally right.
Now, an intelligent person would question that, if for no other reason than the 2024 election results. But, while they may be sane, they're also stupid.

That's not actually always true. It is known that view time and engagement goes up if you show people things they violently disagree with because it triggers the "someone is wrong on the Internet" reflex everyone has. X's algorithm definitely works that way if you switch from "Following" to "For You", although Elon says they're trying to make it l less contentious.

I need one. HDMI can carry control signals. So the remote for the Apple TV (and presumably other devices) will also turn on the television it is attached to and the stereo the television is attached to (or possibly the other way around, I set it up several years ago). That remote also controls volume.
Since I watch television through a DVR, which uses an app on the Apple TV box, the one remote also controls changing channels.

Cuba will take about 2 months to fall. Unknown how messy it will be. The remnants of Maduro’s regime will give up any opposition to the US after that, Cuba’s fall will suck the spirit out of them.
Under that pressure Columbias president should be replaced by the end of the year, and the narco traffic in the gulf should be markedly reduced.
A consequence of Iran’s fall is the life will be sucked out of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthi. They may still exist but will have far less power and influence.

Canadian liberals, for example, are not actually worried that a Delta Force team will rappel down from an MH-47G Chinook Special Operations Helicopter to blackbag Prime Minister Mark Carney from 24 Sussex Drive, Ottawa, Ontario, K1M 1M4, and not only because the inadequate security of the traditional prime minister’s domicile has motivated Carney to instead take up residence at Rideau Cottage, 1 Sussex Drive, where he is usually home by 9 pm with his wife Diana. The concern is much more general: that the beleaguered Canadian people, along with those of the rest of the rotting West, will look at the remarkable results obtained by regime decapitation in the United States, and start getting ideas.

You know how, if you see an asteroid pointed at earth, and you want to send nukes to change its trajectory, the further out you hit it, the less force it takes to change its course.
The Angels, natural super mathematicians that they are (they're the ones who guesstimate the number of hairs on your head), would know exactly how far back you have to intervene to change the course of events.
So, for example, they only need to tilt Donald Trump's head ever so slightly so the bullet only nicks his ear… and the entire subsequent course of human events we're seeing now results.
Pretty nifty.

And somebody somewhere will pop up out of nowhere and claim he was "handsy" when he 16-years old and took them to the movies. But he's out there nonetheless, to give the Rs another vote they've done little to nothing to deserve. The Republicans would have 100 seats in the house and 30 in the Senate if it weren't for President Trump. My brother-in-law is loosely affiliated with the state Republican party.

The era that began in Iran in 1979 has ended, and the ‘Counter-Revolution’ began in 2026! Despite Khamenei's declaration of ‘war,’ the nation of 92 million people is not leaving the streets. From Tehran to Tabriz, police stations are falling, women are burning their mandatory veils, and most importantly, signals of a coup are emerging from within the Iranian Army, under the banner of ‘Lion and Sun.’
In this video, we analyse how the theocratic regime collapsed after 47 years and the footsteps of the Shah:

"Lock and load" is the command given to shooters on a firing range. At the command, the shooter inserts a magazine into the firearm until it locks into place, and then operates the action, loading a cartridge into the firearm.

Zelensky is a non-factor, Trump basically told Putin you can keep what the territory you've taken, but you can't take any more and basically don't think about pushing your luck in Ukraine.

IF you pretended not to know how she is, and hired her to run the local YMCA, you'd want to give her time to adapt to her new role. I bet you dollars to donuts that Cea, at the end of a month long evaluation, would be found "deficient" in her performance. She's clearly too *stupid* and *immature* to run the YMCA in Pampa, TX, or in Salina, KS.
But don't worry. She's not in charge of either of those places.

U.S. COMMANDOS JUST HIT IRAN’S MISSILE SUPPLY LINE — AT SEA.
In a rare high-seas raid, U.S. special operations forces boarded a cargo ship in the Indian Ocean and seized $5 MILLION worth of Chinese-origin missile components headed for Iran.
The operation happened off Sri Lanka, under cover of darkness.
The cargo was confiscated and destroyed on site.
No arrests. No injuries. The ship was released.
This wasn’t symbolic.
It was a direct strike on Iran’s rearmament pipeline — and a warning to suppliers enabling it.
Sanctions aren’t just paperwork anymore.
They’re being enforced with boarding teams

In November 2025, U.S. forces boarded the vessel several hundred miles off the coast of Sri Lanka. The ship, traveling from China to Iran, was carrying dual-use items*—materials that have both civilian and military applications. The specific cargo included components that could support Iran's conventional weapons program. Following the boarding, the U.S. forces destroyed the seized cargo but allowed the ship to proceed on its journey.
*Seized Cargo: Components potentially linked to Iran’s missile program.

The Shah's job was indeed to keep the commies at bay and prevent the Soviets from getting at the oil fields. With the "Nixon Doctrine" they called it at the time, he was pretty much given a free hand, and he got pretty brutal.
The history of this going back to the Brits and the oil is interesting, and lot of lesson to be learned there about what mistakes not to make again if we get Shah, Jr in there.

See the 1953 coup in Iran. That was CIA and MI6, approved by Ike and Churchill. The Shah was technically monarch, but the PM had the power. Shah didn't have much actual power. The PM nationalized the oil industry, which pissed the Brits off.
The coup put the Shah in real power.
The Shah's father came to power years before, ousting some other dynasty, with the Brits involved. Now, right before WWII, the father starting getting friendly with the Germans. He was trying to play all the great powers against each other for his own advantages.
Brits and Soviets invaded Iran in 1941 to protect the oil and supply lines, and removed the Shah's father from power, and put the son, who became The Shah as we think of it in power as the monarch.

If you do that, keep real good records.
The CA Franchise Tax Board came after me for "unpaid income taxes" - they actually got a copy of my 1040, and helpfully calculated my "tax" and penalties - 10 years after I left the state. It was an obvious clerical error at corporate (CA domiciled) about tax data for my division (OR domiciled) that 30 seconds of thought would have shown, but it took three letters from me -last if which was, essentially, fuck off, sue me - and two from corporate accounting to get them to go away.
CA is going to be desperate for revenue, and you'd look like an easy target.

In the video I saw, the officer who shot was in front of the car, and she drove at him. That's when he drew and fired through the windshield, then she turned a little to the right, and he got off two more rounds through the open side window.

In the video I viewed, ICE guy appeared from front vehicle as vehicle accelerated in a right turn. That puts ICE guy, the presumptive shooter, in front of an accelerating vehicle. Whether she saw ICE guy or not, that's on her. He gets benefit of doubt.

It's hard to see from some angles of the video. There was an agent right on the side, ordering her out of the car. Another agent ran up in front, and she clearly drove the car toward him. He's the one who fired.

I saw a perfect vid. ace or someone posted it here.
He reduced it to slo-mo and I cut that speed in half.
The cop was quick but facts: She had shifted into a forward gear, the wheels were pointed directly at the shooter cop and were turning.
Justified self defense.
Refusing to halt aforehand is legally enough.
Knocking the other cop with the vehicle, no matter how slight, is enough.
This is a wakeup call to the sillies. Playtime is over.

Also see the "White Revolution" started by the Shah in the early '60s. That was a big modernization program to bring Iran into the 20th Century. That pissed of a lot people, including the Islamic nutjobs, Khomeini being the main one.
Before that there was sort of feudal like system in the country. Piss poor peasant serfs and all that. Shah did away with that, and that pissed others off. But it really pissed off the mullahs.
And then the Rooskies were trying to infiltrate.

Muslim goes to Iran and is disappointed to find that most people aren’t actually Muslim.

Remember that most Iranians DO NOT SUPPORT ISLAM.
They are occupied by terrorists and trying to be free from this barbaric ideology.

In hindsight, the Shah should've just executed Khomeini back in the '60s when he had the chance rather than exiling him. They figured the didn't want to make a big martyr out of him, but in hindsight, it wouldn't have made it any worse.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at January 08, 2026 02:29 AM (w6EFb)
Another funny one. In the '70s, Khomeini was holed up in Iraq. A young Saddam Hussein, the vice president I think, offered to whack Khomeini for the Shah. I'll kill him for you, just say the word.
The Shah again turned it down.

Nope. It is not. Ironically, you have a property right to something you already have but not the right to acquire future property. Bill of Rights is a negative check, not a grant of positive rights.
Zoning cases are classic examples where a seller does not have the right to demand changing of zoning so the property would bring a higher price from buyers. Not a taking.

Intent is sound, might be hard to accomplish. Perhaps a Federal "absentee owner" tax on real property? If an entity owns a piece of habitable residential property, and does not occupy it personally, or place family in it, they are assessed a tax of 0.5% of market value per year. Tax rate to rise commensurate with the number of properties owned.

ICE has arrested several people for obstruction (one was just convicted in LA) the last several months. They generally avoid/outmaneuver them, but eventually get fed up and arrest them.
The dead poet was apparently one of these types.
You can see one agent approaching her open window, presumably telling her to exit the vehicle (this was said by somebody, maybe Kristi herself). This was going to be another obstruction arrest.

My local government already has different property tax rates for different classes. Owner-occupied dwellings get an exemption of 40% off the assessed value. There are others (most notably, senior citizens and disabled veterans pay half the tax as whippersnappers.... thanks, kids!)

The Russkis charged them with piracy, which, guess what kids, is still a capital crime. Then they left them in a nasty Russian jail for several months, before springing them and PNG'ing them out of the country.

Danish defense ministry reportedly confirms that Denmark will "shoot first, ask questions later" if US invades Greenland.
Leaving aside how absurd it is for these idiots (sadly, most of Europe) to take the bellicose talk on Greenland seriously, and not as haggling behavior, it is beyond hilarious.
First of all of course, the US already has bases in Greenland. But the idea that Denmark (or any NATO member, or all of them together) could/would resist any US military operation, anywhere, LOL.
I prefer the early 80s Denmark where an opposition politician said if his party were in power he would close the defense ministry and replace it with an answering machine that said "we surrender, in Russian".

The president (Pezeshkian) has been making conciliatory noises, acknowledging regime failures on the economy. Impossible to know but likely just a good cop/bad cop routine, with Khamenei (who has only been trash-talking) and the Guard playing the bad cop (and actual authority) part. The regime has done versions of this in the past in response to widespread protests.

BREAKING: The wife of Renee Nicole Good—the 37-year-old Minneapolis shooting victim who attempted to run over an ICE officer—appears to have been outside the vehicle filming as her wife blocked ICE vehicles.
She is seen wearing a flannel shirt, walking around the vehicle and recording ICE officers.
She later runs back to the vehicle to check on Renee.
Afterward, she tells a nearby man, “That’s my wife.”
When he asks if she knows any of her wife’s relatives she could call, she responds, “We're new here. I don't have people... I can’t even breathe right now.”
Why was she outside the vehicle filming while her wife was blocking ICE officers?
Terrible.

Nothing like the height of the Cold War, though.
However, if they're anything like the dozens of mothballed bases here in Alaska, the Air Force has kept the runways in perfect repair.
The thing is, if you've got a good runway and modern equipment, you can spin up a full-blown base pretty damned quick.

To Russians who consume only the pathetic official media, this will perhaps be similar to how many Japanese felt in June '44 - "we're winning, our fighting spirit cannot be matched by the foreign devils .... oh, and BTW, we just lost the Marianas".
Though many russkis won't care, and the loss of one more "ally" of some convenience won't change much.

Tom Homan just dropped one of the most disturbing updates yet on what happened to children smuggled into the U.S. under the last administration.
According to Homan, nearly half a million children were brought into the country, separated from families, and released to sponsors who were not properly vetted. Of those, the government lost track of roughly 300,000 kids.
And for years — no one was even looking.
That changed under Donald Trump.
Homan says that since January, a joint operation involving ICE, FBI, and Department of Health and Human Services has already located over 129,000 of these children.
Let that sink in.
129,000 kids who were essentially written off before.
And what they’re finding is horrific.
Homan says many children were:
released to fake or unverified addresses
assigned to “sponsors” holding up to 16 kids at once
sent to parking lots, hotels, or addresses where they never lived
forced into labor
kept out of school
sexually abused or trafficked
living in what he described as “atrocious” conditions
Some, he confirmed, have already died.
(Cont)
Posted by: rickb223 at January 07, 2026 09:08 PM (KMPdZ)
Homan says one of President Trump’s first phone calls after taking office made this a top priority:
“I want you to create a secure border.
I want you to oversee a massive deportation operation.
And I want you to find these kids.”
Some of the children have now aged out — over 18 — but Homan says that does not end the search, because adults can still be victims of forced labor and sex trafficking.

Aha. Earlier this week there was a huge fire at a major Iranian dairy products factory up north near the Caspian. Now, locals are being evacuated. Ammonia. Not ice cream.
Turns out Iran has been building missile production infrastructure up there (some of it was hit in June). Chy-nah provides a key component for rocket fuel (perchlorate). Some may recall the big fire down in Bandar Abbas earlier last year (perchlorate from Chy-nah, most likely).

Thule AFB is still operational, and it is extensive, although a lot of it has been mothballed. I think they call it an airfield now instead of an air base, but it is all still there. USACE takes care of anything that has to come out of mothballs, and can do so right quick. It's all Air Force, but some of it will be Space Force, just because.

Governor Ron DeSantis Announces Special Session to Redistrict Florida
Tim Walz Activates National Guard -- Hinting He'll Use It to Fight FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT
This is still my guy. And he doesn't play footsie with Nazis just to keep Tucker Carlson on his side.
This is a small surprise, because while DeSantis talked about doing this, he mostly talked about doing this after the Supreme Court rendered judgment on the Democrat-fabricated "rule" that legislative districts must be drawn to elect as many minorities as mathematically possible. The Supreme Court hasn't ruled on that yet, but DeSantis is going ahead with the redistricting plan.lorida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Wednesday that he will convene a special legislative session for redistricting. "Today, I announced that I will be convening a Special Session of the Legislature focused on redistricting to ensure that Florida's congressional maps accurately reflect the population of our state," he posted on X. "Every Florida resident deserves to be represented fairly and constitutionally. This Special Session will take place after the regular legislative session, which will allow the Legislature to first focus on the pressing issues facing Floridians before devoting its full attention to congressional redistricting in April."Meanwhile, potty-mouthed pork-chop Jasmine Ratchet erupted into a, get this, profane tirade over the Supreme Court refusing to step in and save her own racially-contrived district.
Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett erupted into a profanity-laced tirade this week after the Supreme Court declined to step in and block Texas's newly drawn congressional maps, a ruling that clears the way for Republicans to gain as many as five additional House seats in 2026. In a video posted to her YouTube channel, Crockett blasted the Court, President Trump, and GOP-controlled state governments, accusing them of "rigging the system" ahead of the midterms. "Obviously, Trump is still doing his bidding with these state Houses and state Senates and governors' mansions to try to rig the system," she said, before praising states she claims are resisting Republicans. "Kudos to Indiana for saying f*** you. Kudos to California for saying we're going to fight back." Crockett then aimed her anger directly at the justices, exclaiming, "And f*** you to the Supreme Court for what they did."She then ate the microphone and took a selfie with her backfat.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) says “f*** you” to the Supreme Court for basically ending her political career by allowing Texas redistricting to go forward.

Talerico says that it would have been just fine if Mary would have aborted Jesus, because his god loves abortion. Yep.

1) Does invoking the Insurrection Act permit the military to arrest the judges as well as the local elected officials?
2) Does it permit them to be tried by a military tribunal?
Posted by: People's Hippo Voice
=======
Yes. If the courts in an insurrection area are no longer in session due to unrest, that means martial law can be invoked with all trials as military tribunals.
But before that, it is clear, trying to interfere with federal law enforcement of a delegated national power in the Constitution, means Gov. Timmy the Pedo is the new Orval Faubus. And Ike nationalized the Arkansas National Guard specifically to keep Orval from using them any further. They were federalized for about one year.
FIL actually guarded students at LR Central and he was from outside the LR area. They used the 101st Airborne outside and federalized Nat. Guard troops inside.

Like the stupid woman in the car, doubling down with the Feds is never a smart idea. Timmy is panicking because it is likely that he is going to be indicted out of the fraud. Ellison may be too as there is a 2021 recording last week that has Ellison commenting in a meeting with Somalis where they specifically raised a quid pro quo on grants in return for campaign funding. Ellison indicated agreement.

I think Walz is making an effort to not normalize shooting civilians because Trump and Miller have a fever dream. I hope all of the governors stand up to him. It is just a matter of time. Gauge the spine of your Governor, MAGA. Ask more of them.
The Minneapolis police should have done that already. The deportation will occur after they have served their sentences in Minnesota state prison.
The National Guard will gladly harm protesters alongside the rest of the goons when it comes down to it. They aren't your friends either.
The people saying the ice agent acted in self defense are the same people who truly believe Ashli Babbitt was murdered for doing no wrong
Her name was Renee Nicole Good. She did not deserve to be murdered by ICE. Say her name.
Ice cannot be allowed to continue. People across the country need to stand up to ICE. Block them. Fight them. And stand up to company’s like “Hilton” who enable and sponsor them.

I have gotten nothing done today due to spying on these wackos. I was going to take the 1000 ornaments off the tree and dance to rock and roll. Instead I am watching MN.
I never much thought about MN in the past. A state I'd never been to nor knew anybody from there. Thought nice people from Scandinavia ancestry who ate cheese with Wisconsin. And ice fished. I'd say ICE Fishing's name will now be changed? Hole fishing? Throw a Somolian in a hole sport deport?
Regardless, tomorrow is another day and tonight I enjoy our tree one more night. It is my rules and I decided who cares if I break them inside my own livingroom? My husband did take down the wreaths and lit garlands off the porch, so he made an effort that we don't look like "those people." We have neighbors who leave up their lit snowflakes all winter and I am all for it.
I think Walz is on Xanax as he looked subdued for him vs his usual tantrum. In all honesty I only watched 2 seconds, so maybe he outbursted later.

Law is clear dating back to the Fugitive Slave Laws, states cannot interfere or impede federal law enforcement. After the Civil War, even more power has been taken from states including the Dick Act (really of 1903) and the Militia Act of 1908.
Then you have the precedent of Orval Faubus trying to stop a federal court order to integrate Little Rock Central High School by using the guard. Ike federalized the whole lot to keep Faubus from messing with them. He also sent the 101 Airborne down to manage periphery security.

The National Guard oath of enlistment is longer than the regular services because it includes both the state and federal authorities, but explicit in the law organizing the National Guard is federal supremecy.
Back in the 1980s, National Guard troops were being sent to Central America for training, and leftist governors tried to stop it, filed suit and lost. For Title 32 training, there is boilerplate about "with the consent of the governor" but it isn't needed for Title 10, which is federal duty.
Trump can just order them placed under Title 10 authority and that's it. Game over.

Also, and beside the point, her fake fingernails are hideous. As are her eyebrows. She got Sharpie eyebrow lessons from Pelousi, I reckon.
It is currently 36 degrees in Minneapolis with poor air quality (due to dust and dander...which makes sense arising from the rioters). Will their numbers increase as the temps go lower? Will they defy the usual June Riot Month rulez for agitators? Where are the Somoli rioters...one would think self-deporting to Canada.

True. From the video, he looked pretty calm and collected as he was legitimately in fear of a deadly force threat he neutralized. It doesn't really matter what he thought at this point...the video proves he was fully justified in his use of force per the law.
Also, Whig's analysis is pretty good, and any minor quibbles I'd add wouldn't make a substantial difference. I was originally active duty, and have served in the guard now for around 20 years, several of which were in the State Joint Operation Center dispatching troops to state emergencies and Federal requests. The only recent hiccup I'm seeing is the courts getting involved and staying Presidential call-ups to title X service. That is very unusual.

Driving a SUV with Missouri tags and many National Park stickers (I can't read the others, probably, pride stuff). Was married to a male comic I'd never heard of, and he died in 2023. She's a poet and unsure about her status. Now with a super butch "wife," who is rumored to be a "professional agigator." Whatever that is, I guess a special ed branch of feminist studies.
One rumor said HER SUV was the lead of the parade to block ICE vehicles. So put that in your pipe and smoke it, reddit, and ghey pride rioters who will get cold tonight unless they burn stuff. Walz and the cussin' mayor will probably help supply the fuel to burn down the city.

Plenty of oil on the market, it'll just cost them more.

Edward Luttwak addressed this issue a while ago, noting that by the time D-Day rolled around, the US had done multiple, massive and complex opposed invasions, learning each time, refining the technique, gear and planning.
China is going to try something far more difficult without any operational experience whatsoever. One cannot help but be skeptical of their chances at success.
More likely Dieppe than D-Day.

My sibling ICE agent brother said they're supposed to get out of the way in situations like this. Who knows when this agent realized she was headed right toward him, however. He also said that DHS is going pedal to the metal and overworking the agents at present. Also that the hiring blitz going on now is bringing on people who are not being properly screened for suitability for the role, and not enough time in training. He's not too thrilled at the moment.

No, modern aircraft carrier battlegroups cannot reach the Great Lakes due to size restrictions of the locks and canals, particularly the St. Lawrence Seaway, which is too small for them. But we did have aircraft carriers in the Great Lakes in WWII for pilots to practice carrier landspings without fear of surprise attacks. Carriers were smaller in those days.

Add in better missile defenses including lasers, and the uncertainties add up. Plus the whole buildup of troops would be apparent even on google earth. No Overlord Tactical Surprise on the actual invasion.
I agree with whoever said the complete and total failure of the surface-to-air defenses in VZ probably means Xi doesn't dare stick his nose out, because it means blowing up Three Gorges with no KIAs is on the menu.

My crazy brother was with me once, and I did not turn properly after picking up burgers at the window, and scraped along a wood fence.

Two Venezuela-Linked "Dark Fleet" Ships Change Their Registrations Mid-Cruise to Russian In the Belief That This Will Protect Them from Trump;
But Trump Gives No Effs and Seizes Them
Russia actually sent an attack sub to protect one of the terrorist oil smuggling ships. Plus it suddenly hoisted a Russian flag and declared itself a Russian ship. Russia was part of this, because they approved the re-flagging of the ship without any of the normal steps required.
They thought Trump would be a-scared to seize a Russian-flagged terror ship. WRONG! Oh, and then they seized another one.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Wednesday that the U.S. seized two oil tankers linked to Venezuela. "In two predawn operations today, the Coast Guard conducted back-to-back meticulously coordinated boarding of two 'ghost fleet' tanker ships--one in the North Atlantic Sea and one in international waters near the Caribbean. Both vessels--the Motor Tanker Bella I and the Motor Taker [sic] Sophia--were either last docked in Venezuela or en route to it," Noem posted on X. "Under President Trump's bold and visionary leadership, US Coast Guard tactical teams worked closely with its counterparts at the Departments of War, Department of Justice and State and used their specialized expertise to conduct these operations and conduct two safe, effective boardings within hours of each other," she continued. "One of these tankers, Motor Tanker Bella I, has been trying to evade the Coast Guard for weeks, even changing its flag and painting a new name on the hull while being pursued, in a desperate and failed attempt to escape justice. The heroic crew of the USCGC Munro pursued this vessel across the high seas and through treacherous storms--keeping diligent watch, and protecting our country with the determination and patriotism that make Americans proud. These brave men and women deserve our nation's thanks for their selfless devotion to duty." ...
The vessel was one of a number of sanctioned oil tankers operating near Venezuela that recently changed their flags to Russia.
Visegrád 24
@visegrad24 9h Russia has dispatched a submarine and several warships to escort a shadow-fleet tanker that the United States attempted to seize off the coast of Venezuela and is now pursuing in the Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal reports. The tanker Bella 1 spent more than two weeks trying to bypass the U.S. blockade on Venezuela but failed to dock and load cargo. In December, the vessel's crew repelled a U.S. attempt to board the ship and then sailed into the Atlantic Ocean. It is now being pursued in international waters by the U.S. Coast Guard. The tanker has since re-registered as Russian, been renamed Marinera, and the crew painted a Russian flag on the hull. According to U.S. sources, Russia then asked Washington to stop pursuing what it now claims is a Russian vessel. On Tuesday, Russia's Foreign Ministry said it was following the situation around the tanker "with concern." The ship is currently sailing about 300 miles south of Iceland toward the North Sea. A Russian submarine and other naval assets are moving in to support it.

Surge of Economic Pain Pushes Iranians to the Streets High inflation and a currency collapse have squeezed Iranians' budgets, challenging the country's leaders. Protesters took to the streets of the capital, Tehran, and other cities in Iran on Monday to decry surging inflation and the collapse of the national currency, which have thrown markets into chaos and punched holes in family budgets. The currency plunged to a record low this past weekend against the U.S. dollar and the annual inflation rate rose to 42.2 percent in December. Amid the turmoil, the head of Iran's central bank, Mohammad Reza Farzin, resigned on Monday, pending the president's acceptance, local news media reported. A former economy minister, Abdolnaser Hemmati, was set to replace him. The economic turmoil poses a new challenge for Iran's leaders as they seek to maintain control of their country of 92 million people while recovering from attacks on its nuclear facilities in June by Israel and the United States and a campaign of "maximum pressure" from the Trump administration aimed at securing a new agreement about Iran's nuclear program. ... Experts attribute Iran's deepening economic pain to a host of factors from poor management to policies that keep the country's economy closed. The stepped-up efforts by the Trump administration to limit Iran's oil sales to foreign countries and the war with Israel in June, during which the government tapped Iranian banks to cover its costs, have also contributed to the worsening economy.Via John Sexton, who also rounds up videos of the street protests. Below, in Germany (I think), a white woman shows up to counter-protest Iranians cheering on the anti-Mullah protests.
... The proposed 2026 budget showed the government's dilemma, reflecting a substantial decrease in oil revenue and an increased reliance on tax revenue. On Monday, the Parliament rejected the proposed budget, the semiofficial Tasnim News Agency reported. ... The currency collapse has been painful for ordinary Iranians, who have watched the value of their salaries and savings drop while prices for goods and services skyrocketed. Omid, a 42-year-old sales manager in Tehran, said the value of his monthly income has dropped to the equivalent of $200 per month from $300 in just two months, giving him anxiety.

That was the most stupid thing the russians could do sending a sub to escort an oil tanker. Not only is the sub tied down to the slow tanker it most likely was tracked by the US Navy every mile it sailed. They knew where that sub was at and most likely isolated it from the tanker it was escorting.

t is necessary to police platforms for thought because of the danger from the power of new media like podcasts that goes beyond any tacit social acceptance of the right of voicing dangerous or objectionable opinions.

They are ghost tankers under sanctions.
They aren't really Russian, they're smugglers who'll change ship names, registrations, GPS locator beacons, and everything else to get the cargo to port and get paid.
The Russians can end all these problems next week by sitting down and signing on the dotted line along with Z & Ukraine.

Set sail from Iran 7 months ago. Turned off its transponder about 2 weeks ago. Turned it back on a couple of days ago.

Were innocent Sunni Muslims killed by other Sunni Muslims (ISIS, Taliban, Al-Queda) worthy of protest by the American Left?
Were innocent Uyghur Muslims incarcerated, raped and murdered by Chinese Security Forces worthy of protest by the American Left?
Or are the only Muslim deaths worthy of protest by the American Left those killed by Jews?

They enforce maritime law, and are for criminal enforcement. Mostly they do coastal duty due to ship size limitations, but the Legend class has some serious range and endurance, allowing the CG to take over missions that the Navy would otherwise have to take on.

But the only thing that would get them seized, is if they were carrying sanctioned oil. If they were running empty, there would be no reason to stop them. Or at least no reason to confiscate them. No, that whole ref flagging in the middle of a cruise is highly suspicious.

1820's was peaceful even slavery wise. In exchange for getting Missouri, the south gave up all land north of Arkansas to freedom, much of which was Indian territory or already Mexican (Texas hadn't broken off then). The one state from each side pushed back political problems until 1845 and the Mexican War in the US Territory anyhow.

The Navy and Coast Guard are enforcing the sanctions / blockade which were placed on specific ships - including these two - as is part of their job.
And just because she isn't full of crude doesn't mean she's empty. Not that it matters since they were subject to seizure, full or not.

It's funny how the people screaming "But muh international law!" don't actually know any of it. Maduro was not lawfully elected, and therefore had no sovereign immunity nor was he an actual head of state, but a usurper who unlawfully held power, violating lots of international conventions in the process. That's why we arrested him.
The "shadow fleets" likewise have been allowed to do their thing simply because no one wanted to deal with the hassle of taking them down, but now Trump can sweep the seas and there's not a damn thing Russia can do from a legal perspective.

I suspect that those tankers were part of a game the russians/iran was playing and they got caught. Flying a false flag is a violation of maritime laws and once they hoisted the russian flag mid cruise they became fair game for any Navy to seize them.
My gut feeling is they were/are smuggling drugs out of venezuala.

That's the problem. When you put up what the cargo might be versus putting it on an oil tanker, not very many things make sense. If you were smuggling drugs, you wouldn't need an oil tanker.

That's the problem. When you put up what the cargo might be versus putting it on an oil tanker, not very many things make sense. If you were smuggling drugs, you wouldn't need an oil tanker.

It wasn't really a Russian ship. What Trump has put a spotlight on in recent weeks is that there is a "dark fleet" of cargo ships and tankers that sail around the world, carrying contraband cargo for cash, and they change their names and countries of registration monthly, if they register at all. They've been slipping through all the supposed regulations on international shipping, and they are well paid by China, Russia, Iran, and up til now Venezuela (as well as anyone else who wants to deal in contraband) Trump is starting to shut down this dark fleet, ship by ship.
The Bella, supposedly registered to Russia was registered to Panama just a couple weeks ago. But Panama disavowed knowing anything about them.

Minnesota is an underrated state. Striking natural beauty that rivals anything in the USA. Sadly, it’s been overrun with toxic cockroaches and doesn’t have the population numbers or industry to survive the invasion. Big, rich states can take in 200k Somalis and it’s a rounding error. For states like MN, it’s a death sentence.

They mostly have, not counting the Black Sea Fleet that's been neutralized by Ukraine. At one time they had the most nuclear powered ships in the world; scrapping got expensive, so there's at least 6 reactors they just dumped into the Arctic Ocean to be rid of them, and there may be more. They promise to go back and get them someday, oh sure they will.

Just want the plain jane, Chromium is the open source version of Chrome.
Firefox is the only other major browser with its own codebase and they are announcing a pivot to making their browser AI compliant plus some woke bullshit.
For old computers, Supermium is a degoogled Chrome for old Windows computers that have no upgrade path for their browsers. Brave requires a minimum of Windows 10 now for example.
Lots of old weird browsers on different code bases if you want to go to Linux. Plus most of the malware exploits don't work well on Linux

RFKJr. Unveils What Leftwing Ninnies Are Calling an "Upside-Down" Food Pyramid
No, it's rightside up. The old one was upside down, created out of nothing besides what one Senator's quack doctor told him about nutrition, plus lots of lobbying by vegetarians who constantly pressure the government into lying about nutrition.
But sure, "upside down."HHS's statement is here.
The White House on Wednesday unveiled new dietary guidelines, with officials calling it the "most significant reset of federal nutrition policy in history." The new guidelines were represented with an upside-down pyramid placing vegetables, fruits, proteins, dairy and healthy fats at the top and whole grains at the bottom. "The new guidelines recognize that whole, nutrient-dense food is the most effective path to better health and lower health care costs," said Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. "The new framework centers on protein and healthy fats, vegetables, fruits and whole grains. It's upside down, a lot of people say. It was actually upside down before," he added. The initial food pyramid was introduced in the 1990s, showing a small amount of sugars at the top, recommending 2-4 servings of dairy, meat, fruit and vegetables in the middle, and 8-11 servings of bread, rice, pasta and other grains at the bottom. It was updated to "My Plate" under the Obama administration. ... It was the first White House press briefing of 2026. "Diets rich in vegetables and fruits reduce disease risk more effectively than many drugs," Kennedy added. "All grains outperform refined carbohydrates, added sugars, especially sugar sweetened beverages, drive metabolic disease, and today, our government declares war on added sugar, highly processed foods loaded with additives, added sugar and excess salt." Rollins said these guidelines will apply to whole foods whether they are "fresh, frozen, canned or dried." "These new guidelines are going to update the food that is served to America's children in our public schools to the plates that are served to our great men in uniform, in our military, our veterans, in the food that they are consuming at the VA and these new guidelines are also going to impact nutritional programs for the needy in our country, such as WIC and Head Start," Leavitt said, adding that these new guidelines would also help Americans save "thousands" on groceries.
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins today released the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025--2030, marking the most significant reset of federal nutrition policy in decades. The new Guidelines deliver a clear, common-sense message to the American people: eat real food. The U.S. faces a national health emergency. Nearly 90% of health care spending goes toward treating chronic disease, much of it linked to diet and lifestyle. More than 70% of American adults are overweight or obese, and nearly 1 in 3 adolescents has prediabetes. Diet-driven chronic disease now disqualifies many young Americans from military service, threatening national readiness and limiting opportunity. ... "Under President Trump's leadership, the Administration is restoring scientific integrity, accountability, and common sense to federal health guidance. The 2025--2030 Guidelines reestablish food--not pharmaceuticals--as the foundation of health and reclaim the food pyramid as a tool for nourishment and education. The Guidelines emphasize simple, flexible guidance rooted in modern nutrition science: Prioritize protein at every meal Consume full-fat dairy with no added sugars Eat vegetables and fruits throughout the day, focusing on whole forms Incorporate healthy fats from whole foods such as meats, seafood, eggs, nuts, seeds, olives, and avocados Focus on whole grains, while sharply reducing refined carbohydratesLimit highly processed foods, added sugars, and artificial additives Eat the right amount for you, based on age, sex, size, and activity level Choose water and unsweetened beverages to support hydration Limit alcohol consumption for better overall health
Nutritional reformer and debunker of lies Nina Teichholz isn't satisfied -- the new dietary suggestions continue claiming that animal fat is bad for you and must be capped at 10% of all calories. Which she says make the new recommendations contradictory, given that they suggest a protein-first diet.
Delayed for months, the highly anticipated new U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans will be released to the public tomorrow, followed by a large (invite-only) event at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on Thursday. As promised, the new guidelines are expected to be only about eight pages, far shorter than the 100+ tomes of previous administrations. The guidelines are also likely to include a lengthy appendix with scientific reviews to justify their changes. The one widely touted reform was an "end to the war on saturated fat," as both HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and FDA Commissioner Marty Makary have repeatedly pledged since taking office--including as recently as Nov 27th. This was a revolutionary proposal. The cap on saturated fats has been a bedrock piece of advice since the launch of this policy in 1980, and it is why so many Americans avoid red meat, drink skim milk, and opt to cook with seed oils over butter. Yet I learned from two administration officials that saturated fats will not be liberated after all. The longstanding 10% of calories cap on these fats will remain. At the same time, the guidelines' language will encourage cooking with "butter" and "tallow," both of which are high in saturated fat. It will also introduce a colorful new food pyramid with proteins--including red meat--occupying the largest portion. These are powerful messages, never before conveyed by our national food policy, and are likely to influence consumer behavior.Teichholz is a Hot MILF who probably looks good in a white lab coat and therefore all of what she says is presumptively true. Still, the new recommendations are good, and big, first step. She notes that the new guidelines finally advocate for a low-carb diet, for those who tend to be fluffy:
Other Changes to the Guidelines Before taking a deeper dive into saturated fats, here are some other details of the revamped guidelines I've learned: • The limit on sugar will be dramatically lowered, from the current limit of 10% of calories to possibly 2% of calories, although that target may be for children only. • A low-carbohydrate diet will be included as a possible option for people with obesity, diabetes, and perhaps other metabolic diseases. This is a huge win and one for which the Nutrition Coalition, the non-profit group I founded, has been advocating since 2020. This new low-carb option will be included in a section entitled "special considerations," even though 93% of American adults are metabolically unhealthy, according to a 2022 paper based on government data, making low-carb seem logical as a more mainstream approach. An important caveat here is that achieving a low-carbohydrate diet, which is almost always higher in fish, meat, dairy, butter, and fat generally, will be impossible with the continued 10% cap on saturated fats.
This is a psyop to make liberals too fat to fight against the government as they will reflexively just do the opposite of this https://t.co/vwiuYe4Gxy

But now when half the population is overweight? To the extent the government should be getting involved with discussions of what you should eat it should be telling people to eat meat and vegetables not bread, french fries, or candy

It's now a right-sized pyramid. And I appreciate not bothering to put any junk on it b/c that needs to be avoided if we're talking "best" - treats are meant to be treats, not part of the dietary guidelines...I mean the guidelines are the ideal, not the actual, diet for folks...

Problem with carbs is most people get carbs from processed junk foods and mostly from sugar. But blaming carbs in general at least gets people to pay attention to their sugar intake. People didn't get obese eating plain rice or oatmeal.

It's when a person eats a meat that's very lean (e.g., that of wild rabbit), but does not consume enough carbs and fat along with it to be able to digest it properly. So you die of malnutrition even though you're eating lots of protein, because your body can't process it.

My mother always bought margarine instead of butter, probably because it was cheaper. I followed suit for many years. Even now, knowing that butter is NOT lethal, I sometimes hesitate in the store. ("That Parkay is soooo much cheaper than Land O'Lakes butter --"). But then I grab Walmart's version of the same butter and am happy.

This food whatever is miles better than the old one, though I like the plate visual so much better because that is how we eat and it makes much more sense. No one over there at MAHA hq reached out to me. You can, in fact, eat too many fats. Just like you can eat too many lots of things. The person cited in Ace’s article is far more rational than most people on this subject, but even she has some bias here coming out. I know, I know crazy.

Salt is bad for the 10% or so of the population who have bodies that don't self regulate salt effectively. For everyone else, you just naturally crave less salty food when you have had too much. Your body will also signal you to drink more liquids and you excrete the excess salt.

Before this money (along with the drug money) was handed out to all of the competing groups in Venezuela; not just the government, but the Generals individually, the Army Collectively, the Security Police, the Cartels, the above ground government. Now it is all going to go thought Rodriguez, and if any of them don't play ball with her, she can cut them off on her own say so.
Why will she go along with this? Because this now makes her more powerful (for now) than anyone else in Venezuela, including some old rivals, like the head of the militia's and the generals. So now Rubio doesn't really have to control the entire country, he just has to keep Delcy Rodriguez knowing that her position depends on her not fucking up too much.

Dr. John Campbell did a video a couple months back revealing an error in the way the USRDA for Vitamin D was calculated -- there is a clear error that greatly under estimates the amount required. I think it moved from 600IU to 9,000IU if you do the math correctly. Check it out. Anecdotally, every time I see someone doing blood tests to find right dosage it ends up being closer to 9,000IU

I have just viewed the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is a horrible thing to watch. The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense. Based on the attached clip, it is hard to believe he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital. The situation is being studied, in its entirety, but the reason these incidents are happening is because the Radical Left is threatening, assaulting, and targeting our Law Enforcement Officers and ICE Agents on a daily basis. They are just trying to do the job of MAKING AMERICA SAFE. We need to stand by and protect our Law Enforcement Officers from this Radical Left Movement of Violence and Hate!

Timmy is a bit dense, once the Insurrection Act is posted, it is martial law, military tribunals, etc. Look forward to the new era of Reconstruction where the Northern and Western states are Reconstructed.

I'm not going to argue with you because arguing about nutrition here is pointless but there is a LOT of evidence - as in research - which shows that you do not need carbs. At all.
There are thousands of people who chronicle their carnivore lifestyle, even the more restrictive beef-only carnivore, and the health improvements they've had as a result.

Trump is simply gathering all this information if and when he needs to invoke the Insurrection Act. Same reason he withdrew the troops from Portland, LA, etc. If they continue to act up, more grist for the Insurrection Act invocation.

Even if you spend time out of doors, you get no UVB unless sun is above 35 or 40 degrees in sky. This never happens in Fall or Winter for top 2/3 of country. And even then, it only happens around noon.
During Spring and Summer, the sun spends more time high enough for the UVB to reach the ground, and we wear less clothing, so people need less supplement but during Fall and Winter I think almost everyone does.
As for how much, I am just saying hat some is better than none. I think the effects are subtle and not obvious -- maybe you are more likely to get flu, or maybe long term chronic effects after years of having too little. It seems to be a universal good for many conditions but very hard to determine since sick people often have low levels, but we don't know direction of causality.

"Early reports suggested that was hardly the case.

For a period of years, colored margarine was illegal, thanks to the dairy lobby. So you got a brick of white margarine, and a little packet of yellow dye to mix with it, at the expense of some effort. But that went away early in my childhood.

Sorry, Piper. I know I'm sorta in your wheelhouse. But "Calories In, Calories Out" ignores how substances interact with the body other than being burned.
A fatty liver can be caused by a too many "calorie" lifestyle, but a backed-up and the resulting Insulin Resistance does not make it about a balance of calories. Most people don't lose because of insulin resistance--even with exercise.
And diet does a whole lot more to un-burden a liver than a treadmill could ever do.

That doesn't mean Metabolic Process doesn't require Carbs.
Now, how you can access those requirements is certainly something that can be altered. But the easiest way is to add beneficial carbs, regardless of source.
I can't tell you the volume and type of Protein you could achieve this with, off the top of my head.
But I can tell you that adding it via reasonable portions of carb rich foods that are not meat is not unhealthy.

Sure. The brain requires glucose.
Now... When glycogen stores are depleted, typically after prolonged fasting or intense exercise, the body shifts to gluconeogenesis, the synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate precursors.
So, what that means, is that your very own body - unless there's something wrong with it - can produce the glucose that your brain requires without you ever eating any.
But you do you.

You should get your blood panel done. I only go to the doc once a year for my medical (outside of the times I have broken bones). It's worth it for the lab tests. Could be the difference between making it to 80 vs 90 (if you care).

There are other government guidelines that were put in place due to the enthusiasm of a small number of guys, when no one else wanted to bother.
The linear model of risk for exposure to toxins, for example. No allowance for non-linear risk, or the ability of the body's repair mechanisms to deal with low concentrations.

I'm not going to argue with you because arguing about nutrition here is pointless but there is a LOT of evidence - as in research - which shows that you do not need carbs. At all

The human body is designed to persist. It can do without many thing s an survive. Being able to survive without a certain food does not mean the body does not need it.

That's the amount that works for me, for whole bunch of things, like not falling into a depressive spiral and other emotional equilibrium maintenance things, and using less ibuprofen at certain times of the month.
K2 (the menaquinone-7 form of it) is supposed to work with D3 to ... direct the D3 to put calcium in the proper places? I think? But there are apparently different forms of K2 that do different things. Menaquinone-4 is supposed to do good things for your brain.

House Oversight Committee Takes Testimony About Somali Fraud (While Democrats Yammer about January 6th and White Supremacy)
Media Lies
@MediasLies Democrat Rep. Robert Garcia's opening statement at the House Oversight hearing on fraud: Agrees fraud is bad... then immediately pivots to "but Trump!" "Republicans like to talk about fraud in states with Democratic governors... but Republicans also have a president who has pardoned or reduced jail time for 25 criminals convicted of fraud..." Classic TDS deflection. Instead of addressing fraud in blue states, it's all Trump's fault.
Three state Republican lawmakers who have investigated public assistance fraud told the House Oversight Committee taxpayers were being ripped off to the tune of billions of dollars over recent years and the state's Democratic leadership refused to act. Walz, who recently announced he would drop his bid for a third term, has been asked to testify at a later hearing amid scrutiny of his handling of the schemes and faced criticism for failing to step in sooner to shut down payments to fraudsters. House Republicans launched an investigation into Walz's handling of the fraud claims in December claiming the former vice-presidential nominee allowed efforts to cover it up and retaliate against whistleblowers under his watch. Walz has claimed the hearings and broader federal actions against the state are a political stunt to silence critics of the administration. Rep. James Comer, a Kentucky Republican who chairs the committee, questioned whether Walz, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and the state's Democratic leadership were negligent or complicit in the fraud. "Gov. Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison and Minnesota's Democrat leadership have either been asleep at the wheel or complicit in these crimes," Comer said. "We must expose this theft of taxpayer dollars and hold everybody accountable who let it happen." ... One prosecutor has alleged that half or more of the $18 billion in federal funds for 14 programs in Minnesota since 2018 could have been stolen. Most of the defendants in the case are Somali Americans. ...Some videos of the questioning -- and the Democrats making animal noises -- below.
State Rep. Marion Rarick told lawmakers the Walz administration had retaliated against state employees who raised concerns about the fraud with threats of being fired for cause so they cannot collect unemployment insurance or being involuntarily transferred to other departments to damage their careers. State Rep. Kristin Robbins, a Republican who is running for governor, also said Walz has overseen a culture that encourages fraud. She said the committee she leads had identified fraud in Medicaid programs, autism centers, housing stabilization and other programs. "Culture matters. Fraud flourishes when leaders ignore it, and criminals see they can get away with it," she testified. "Second, fraud flourishes when basic internal controls are not followed. This is not complicated." She accused Walz and his administration of actively interfering with criminal investigations looking into the fraud and refusing to address the fraud for political gains through the support of Somali Americans in Minnesota. The state Department of Human Services undermined attempts to strengthen fraud prevention by making it harder to disqualify providers for the Child Care Assistance Program than others. "We have many whistleblower reports talking about how DHS undermined the ability to strengthen internal controls," Robbins said.

Gunther Eagleman™
@GuntherEagleman 2h UNBELIEVABLE: !Just watched this disgusting display from a Dem in the House Oversight hearing on massive Minnesota fraud schemes. Instead of addressing the childcare crisis and fraud that's bleeding taxpayers dry, she launches into a vile tirade painting white men as the real criminals and even dragging Jan 6 pardons into it. She mocks "bad groups" and "others," then demands we "look at ourselves" -- meaning blame American citizens, especially white men, for "disproportionate" violence. She even laughs while spewing this BULLSHIT! And get this: Defends Somali donors to campaigns, insisting they're all citizens so no problem. Total deflection from the real fraud investigations hitting her backyard. This is peak anti-American, anti-white hatred from the left -- ignoring border chaos, criminal illegals, and fraud rings while demonizing hardworking patriots and even the President. She's the real threat to our country, pushing division and excuses for corruption. Time to call out these race-baiting Dems and demand accountability!
This gape-assed faggot is using the committee's time to whine about the "stolen valor" of Trump -- who's only the second US president with a background in entertainment, btw -- putting his name on the Trump-Kennedy Center. He says he has legishhlashion ready for thish purposhh. Either he's in Biden-like cognitive decline and the speesh shentersh of his brain are degraded, or he's a Kamala-like daydrinker and slosh-drunk during working hours. You choose. But choose wisely, because as the True Grail brings everlasting life, the False Grail brings eternal damnation. That said, the answer is "Both."

I'll add that (as I've been saying) it takes time for FBI and DOJ to build and bring criminal cases. Months or even years. Even open and shut cases take time. It's already been shown that corrupt judges (and corrupt grand juries) will seize on any issue to deep-six the case. These cases have to be perfect to have a good chance of winning.

I assume the Shirley video was in process before. That David guy has been looking into it all independently for a while.
But...the news cycle actually began with the MN USA's press conference. The $9 billion number came from that news conference.
News of indictments came from that news conference.
Also, shipwreckedcrew makes an educated guess that Walz dropped his re-election bid because he got a Targeting Letter from the DOJ telling him he's under criminal investigation. I believe it.

Republicans waving receipts at dems in hearings is about all the accountability we're likely to see.
Dems did not scream accountability when hunting down aunt Mabels who were in sight of the capital dome on 1/6/21. They sent their goons armed up with full-auto rifles and wearing plated vests to arrest the Mables in front of their kids at zero dark thirty. They got it done. They had the judges, the juries, the prosecutors, and the jailers all ready for action.

Where does anyone think Walz was getting campaign contributions from? A lot of this kind of corruption isn't direct cash vigs under the table (watch out, don't hit Kamala) but legit-looking transfers like campaign donations and support.

Kamala was the only one who could possibly access Biden's money when it was proven he couldn't win in 2024, and Walz was tapped because he had more bribe money available.

There are ways to make laws self-enforcing and of distributing enforcement to people willing to. (1) explicitly allow states to deport criminals. (2) prioritize certain functions of government; if those functions are performed, functions lower on the list, such as the DOE, are disbanded. (3) no government funds can go to criminals, including people here illegally, and private citizens are empowered to sue to enforce this at the local level.
That’s just off the top of my head. I’m sure people who have been actually thinking about it have more (and better) ideas.

From the flip side, I remember one interview that really stands out as a hiring manager.
The candidate had put a line item on her resume about how she led a particular type of effort common to the job I was looking to hire her for. As an easy question to get her comfortable I asked "Tell me about how you did that work item?"
And she said..."oh I didn't actually do that work, a friend told me I should put it on my resume because companies want to see that"
At that moment the interview was over. If you are going to lie to my stick with the lie.

They still asked me to take a personality test. After said test, they ghosted me.
I got a new job. Boss there called me into his office one day and told me he knew why I didn't get the job. Their HR lady was giving a talk and used me as an example of not wanting to hire someone based on the test bc I was "too ambitious."

Those 1000+ officeholders who lost under him were their fundraisers, earners.
He wiped out their farm team.
And forced them to become addicted to laundered government funds instead of fundraising.
Which had the negative feedback loop of distancing them from actual donors and voters.
Which is where they are now: Wholly dependent upon laundered government funds and vote fraud to win.
It's not that the Party no longer has a broad base, it's that none of them even know who their base is anymore.

Those 1000+ officeholders who lost under him were their fundraisers, earners.
He wiped out their farm team.
And forced them to become addicted to laundered government funds instead of fundraising.
Which had the negative feedback loop of distancing them from actual donors and voters.
Which is where they are now: Wholly dependent upon laundered government funds and vote fraud to win.
It's not that the Party no longer has a broad base, it's that none of them even know who their base is anymore.

The cop told me that he construed hands-on-hips as a hostile stance and told me to take my hands off my hips.

Not actually needed but useful in the court of public opinion. The whole shooting happened in about 2 seconds, the whole encounter on most video so far is about 20 seconds before the shooting.
If someone is heading at you with a car and you are infront of it and happen to be a federal officer trying to execute a lawful stop, then you are allowed to shoot at the driver regardless of whether it touched you. Imminent threat to be stopped and cars are lethal weapons in this case and no, a federal officer is NOT required to give way to the car and perp aka retreat.
The lady committed suicide by cop essentially whether she intended that outcome or not and a whole train of bad decisions in a very short period of time by her.

The NG is commanded, first and foremost, by the president. If the president counteracts that commend, and the NG does not comply, they all spend 20 years in Leavenworth (if they are lucky). Second, the NG would be committing suicide - trump would order in whatever forces he has from the rest of the country, and the Minnesota NG would immediately surrender. Or die.
For what? for Walz? Somali scammers? Illegal alien rapists being sent home?
Dems talk about refusing illegal orders - these would be illegal orders.

It kind of brings us back to the Paul Ryan days with the "10 year plans" that seemed to be designed to be memory hole dumps where all would be forgotten.
Politicians, R's and D's. I fuggin pretty much hate em all at this point.
I don't want to hear one smidgen of talk about R's and D's.
I want prison sentences. There is a decade plus of time that has gone by to process this and if there is not enough evidence at this point as they watched billions get ripped off then just be frank with the American people.
They are not going to arrest any R or D over this. They will however make Paul Ryan......Envious.
Fuq the R and D at this point.

Minnesota Terrorist Tries to Ram ICE with Her Car, Gets Fatally Shot in Self-Defense
Update: Slowed Video Shows Car Hitting Agents
As a commenter said: They're going to try to Derek Chauvin these agents.
It's time for Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act.
The Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday defended an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer who fatally shot someone in what the agency says was self-defense. "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," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. " An ICE officer, fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots."
... "This is the direct consequence of constant attacks and demonization of our officers by sanctuary politicians who fuel and encourage rampant assaults on our law enforcement," McLaughlin added.
🚨 BREAKING: Video shows the moment a woman tried to RUN OVER ICE agents with her vehicle in Minneapolis, resulting in her being SHOT

Tim Walz calling ICE the “GESTAPO” is EXACTLY WHY this stuff happens.

Without a racial angle, the blacks -- and their army of race hustlers -- will sit this one out. Nobody cries for dead AWFuLs who try to run over cops. White antifa homos will also mostly stay home, afraid that they too will be shot.
Sure, the left will try to make this slashcunt into a martyr, but the vast majority of normals will watch the vid of her literally running over a cop, shrug, and mutter "FAFO."

Holy shit, that's blatant murder. They were driving away. They are already trying to spin it that the driver was trying to run them over, which is completely bullshit.
ICE needs to leave our state. full stop. If they refuse we need to make them. I'm not watching another fucking video like this. Force them out.
I'm downloading every single one of these videos in case these MAGA voters decide to do the usual and have a selective memory.
If the MPD doesn't arrest the shooter now then everything Frey promised is a lie, and a dangerous one.
R/conservative is celebrating this and claiming the driver was trying to run over the officer. How in gods name would shooting someone prevent the car from hitting the ICE buffoon if it was already heading straight at them from 3 feet away?
I legitimately do not know how to handle the fact that there are people who will see such a completely altered, Trump-dictated version of reality no matter what is in front of them.

Hmmm. Mayor Gay Homo Fag's statement is interesting, and telling. He's using the incident as a means to call for ICE to leave. At least in that statement, he's not calling it a murder or even a possibly unlawful shoot. Something is up. He musta seen the vid of the cop getting rammed, or he (correctly) senses this ain't going the way the left wants.

I think it will all come down to the angle at which the fatal bullet entered her body. If it was from the side or the sort of left-rear, ICE agent is in trouble.
THAT said, the bitch was clearly there to disrupt LE and was fully prepared to leave a body in her wake.
What an IDIOT attempting to drive away when you're being ordered out of the car with an agent pulling on your door!!

ICE is going to deport so many Somalis while the DOJ cracks down on generalized lawlessness, including election fraud, over the next year or so. It's going to be such a shock to the system that no Democrat will ever have to act Somali again.

Watch the vid at the link Jack Straw provided. It's a different angle and you can clearly see she did actually hit the cop, and pretty hard too. His body shudders. This changes everything. It's one thing to say "he got out of the way and still shot her!" But he didn't get out of the way. She hit him. Hard. Righteous shoot.

Go out to X, there are a bunch of different angles that show her hitting the officer with her car. They also show her gunning it with an officer’s arm through the window when she is being ordered to exit the vehicle. There are links in the thread below.

It seems pretty textbook to me that force was justified. A team of uniformed law enforcement agents arrests you and you "gun it" while one is in front of your vehicle attempting to escape? It's not like these people snuck up on her, what the video probably cut off is all sorts of communication the agents had with her first.
But the goal of all of this is to wear down our resolve on enforcing illegal immigration. Sort of like showing illegals in cages.

Apparently the term for this is being an ICE Informer. As near as I can figure out, these are the people that show up and create all the chaos with the screaming, whistles and impeding the ICE agents from doing their work. Of course, being an ICE Informer means the person has received extensive training in this well-recognized field and has demonstrated through written and field tests they are qualified to conduct this role. This is unlike people who just show up where law enforcement is conducting an operation and trigger a riot.
The MSNOW reporter on the scene stated that he was told by an ICE Informer that the driver of the car was also an ICE Informer. So it seems one law enforcement agent shot with another law enforcement agent. MN Atty. General Keith Ellison is going to do everything he can to to bury this ice agent in prison for the next 50 years.

Incorrect thinking. If you conceed the first shot is justified then the rest are. This is not civilian self defense. Agents are authorized to use deadly force to effect felony arrests. If you say the first shot was self defense, she attempted murder. If she did not surrender, using the car to resist arrest flee justifies any additional shots. So thanks, but i can award you zero points.

with that being granted, i am not sure i can fault the officer responsible for the shooting for pulling his weapon and firing in a moment a vehicle seems to be pulling off in his immediate direction. it's a truly regrettable outcome...but induced primarily by a truly regrettable decision to take off with a law enforcement officer perhaps 3 feet in front of your vehicle's grill.
what i *am* sure of is that i don't want to hear so much as a peep about law enforcement restraint from the set that has repeatedly averred that ashley babbitt deserved to be shot for her illegal presence in the capitol.
if ms babbitt deserved to be shot for participating in a riot, surely the same logic should apply to this "legal observer" refusing compliance and attempting to evade detainment ?
Posted by: pH at January 07, 2026 02:49 PM (7sHk5)
I have no idea how this idea that you CANNOT shoot someone "in the back" and have the shoot be legal became so widespread.
First of all, prosecutors often have a very broad definition of, "the back." Imagine a plane perfectly dividing a person in half from the top down. They will define anything in the rear half of the body as, "the back," including what normal people would call, "the side."
Second, just watch any video of gang bangers shooting at each other as they run around, shooting wildly. They'll point the gun out to their side and shoot. They'll point the gun to their rear as they're running and shooting. Just because someone is generally turned away from you doesn't mean they're not an active threat.

Yes and no, you shoot to stop the attack. Once the attack is over, then no more shots. No coup d' grace for ordinary citizens to prevent escape.
In the case of law enforcement, it becomes after the officer's clear first shot in self defense, additional shots are allowed to prevent escape of a fleeing violent felon.
Cars are considered lethal weapons.

So what? A detained suspect is fleeing and tried to kill an agent, as if someone gets to freeze time and determine where the bullet hit and if it properly incapacitated them from continuing to try and kill people with her car.

No, it won't. Because of the very close proximity of the shots. Basically, there have been instances where a body can literally turn just before the bullet hit them. This is not a citizen self defense case btw, this was a fleeing felon the moment she stepped on the gas and nearly hit the ICE officer. After, it does not matter what direction she is facing because of the fleeing violent felon rule.

It was ICE officers, federal lawsuit, federal courts and qualified immunity for the officer. No state action here. More likely a Go Fund Me for the family playing the new version of the ghetto lottery for perps.
I doubt they will see a thin dime as the entire doctrine was invented by the Rehnquist court to quell a lot of lawsuits under civil rights laws against officers.

The officer stepped in to stop her from leaving against direction and unholstered his weapon.
She aggressively accelerated toward and struck the officer.
The odds of her getting shot rose exponentially when she put it back in drive and put her foot on the gas.
Then she hit him.

There are literally hundreds of videos out there of people turning speeding tickets into arrests, and trespass into felonies. People think it is okay to just start manhandling a police officer or stand in the road arguing with him. Or simply ignoring him, and his lawful orders.
Don't fight the police, and heck, don't stand around and argue with them. The cop, usually, doesn't want to do the paperwork for your arrest - he wants you to either comply, or give you a ticket. Make his life easy, and he will make your life easy(er)

Eh, NYC and Mayor Stupid Fcking Lindsay are the reason for that. NYC was using full metal jacketed bullets because hollowpoints used by almost every other jurisdiction were regarded as inhumane.
FMJ are poor instant stoppers (and I do not mean killing here). The usual stop on someone is from massive blood loss which a person can survive. A CNS hit are generally not survivable no matter what type of bullet you use. However, FMJ does have the added bonus of often traveling through perps and hitting the innocent bystanders or other officers on richochets or shoot throughs.

Self defense law is tricky and often stupid as hell. Self defense can go from justified, to not justified, and back to justified in a couple of seconds. Every single shot can be analyzed under this rubric in court. Police are often given much broader latitude than normies in court, but the general rules still apply.
A good expert can point out that a human can only process information at a certain speed and from the moment of choosing to shoot or not shoot to the moment your finger pulls on the trigger is half a second or more. In a very quick shooting like this, even when the car was past the officer, a shot or two is probably justified.
There's also law that cops can shoot at a dangerous (felonious?) fleeing individual if the cop reasonably thinks they're a danger to the public. Normies aren't covered by this law, though.

Incorrect thinking. If you conceed the first shot is justified then the rest are. This is not civilian self defense. Agents are authorized to use deadly force to effect felony arrests. If you say the first shot was self defense, she attempted murder. If she did not surrender, using the car to resist arrest flee justifies any additional shots. So thanks, but i can award you zero points.

Wait, the nick is Tucker, is this someone trolling? I mean its pretty clear between whig and a bunch of others. Its a legal shoot. If you believe the first shot is valid so are the rest.

Yep. the Magic word is reasonable and the use of force must be proportionate to the degree necessary to stop the attack. Once the attack is over, then you cannot continue to engage unless the threat reappears. Never as a regular citizen ever try to stop a fleeing felon, burglar, etc. And yes, I know about TX law--it has a number of legal jeopardies attached via caselaw which lawyers know and the general public does not.
Don't shoot someone over stealing something or even if they are exiting the house after breaking in because the threat to you is essentially over.
Do call the police to make a report in such instances even though it is a hassle. You don't want the perp claiming that you were the one trying to use illegal force against them.

Another way to consider it.
Imagine if she had a gun instead of a car. The ICE agents tell her to drop the gun. In place of reversing the car she unholsters it. Again the ICE agents tell her to drop it.
She then raises it at the ICE agent in front of her and the ICE agents begin shooting.
Since a car in this situation is a weapon the comparison I think holds.

She was trying to go around the vehicle in front of her. She committed a crime hitting the agent. Did she deserve to be shot?
Posted by: Eskimo
While you are a troll, I used to teach Criminal Procedure for over twenty years to yutes. Once you commit a forcible felony to a cop, then the cop is allowed to shoot until the threat is stopped and that includes risks to others.
Idiots play this game all the time when they try to flee cops at high speed and then encounter either a PIT stop or run over spike strips and lose control which deads them. A fleeing car in the operation of perps is in itself a lethal weapon and a menace.
You need to read TN v. Garner where Scotus defines when police may use lethal force to stop a fleeing criminal. It is when a forcible felony has occurred and hitting a cop with your car whether you intended it or not in the course of your other crimes (failure to obey a lawful order to stop, dragging an officer a few feet while not stopping, etc. ). That made her a fleeing felon armed with a dangerous weapon, the car. Thus, she got deaded.

As I said, it was only a matter of time for this to happen. Especially in crazy MN protecting their precious leeching Somolians.
While I am sorry for those who loved this woman, she was not using good sense to do this when an officer has his arm in your car and telling you to get out of the vehicle.
If she had nothing to hide, why back up and accelerate and hit an agent on your escape? To be a hero? Late hair appt?
If it was June there would be National Riot Month, especially if she's not white. Since it's cold and January, probably not. No matter than multiple videos show her being first told to get out of her car and she ignores that order, backs up recklessly, and accelerates into two ICE agents with guns drawn. Not smart.
I hope MORE ICE agents and the National Guard (if needed) are sent to MN to deport. I have no pity's to give for MN, after seeing them rip off of the nation with Walz and Co. GET OUT!

The old common law rule before TN v. Garner was simply shooting an escaping felon. Committing what is called forcible felonies warrant up to lethal force to stop in every state.
Doesn't mean cops have to and in some cases, like trying to stop idiots in cars driving dangerously to escape being caught, are not in accordance to individual jurisdiction policies, they keep the old common law because of liability.
And those officers get qualified immunity too courtesy of Scotus.

I don't remember the details, but I think the plunger went in the mouth -- that wasn't disputed. Yes, he was a fag, but still there is something wrong when they tune-up a guy in the back room to that degree. Do it in an alley or something.
From what I read, Diallo was just a bystander. They were not approaching him until he showed up to see what was going on. Maybe he was a rapist, still. The story told (as I recall) is that one cop stumbled, another yelled "gun" for no reason, and they all started shooting.
I defend this current shooting, and Chauvin, and I did from day one, but still, not all shootings are legit and I think those two incidents from NYC are not worth defending.

I had these arguments from students every time there was a police shooting. All the cameras around now make it a helluva lot easier to teach.
But the general rule is cooperate with the cops regarding their orders within reason (you do not have to admit to anything nor consent to a search of the car) to avoid any Courtroom of the Street where the cop is the judge, jury, and executioner if need be. Save it for the real courthouse if you are justified.
Cars, whether you think they are not, are considered lethal weapons when in operation. You cannot decide in the courtroom of the street to suddenly leave a cop when they are telling you to stop. You have to stop, you cannot try to move around vehicles to escape, and you have to definitely stop if an officer is in front of you. Its over. Now the reckoning of the charges will commence and the toll rises as you try more and more to get away. And the sentence can be all the way to death. No appeal.
I hope this saves some lives but generally this spiel and the funnier Chris Rock video, gets through to some folks .

EXACTLY. Protesters have been playing stupid games with armed federal agents. This was inevitable.
I stay AWAY from LEOs who are doing their jobs. I do not interfere. Hell, Im terrified of local PD because they have poor safety training (almost accidentally shot TWICE by police). The moment a government agent with a gun steps into your scene your life expectancy takes a nosedive - mistakes happen, you were reaching for your wallet? Or a gun. I make the encounter as easy going as possible and then get out of their way.

And at exactly that point she made herself into a felon in possession of a deadly weapon. As soon as she started driving her car away from the ICE agent ordering her to stop she made herself a legitimate target to use deadly force on. If you drive a car at a cop you fvcked up.

I am sorry a life was lost, there are people who did not have anything to do with this who are family or friends, and they are feeling pain in their heart right now. I certainly have sympathy for them. Especially as this will play out over and over again very publicly. I expect they will not say it is unfortunate but justified, of course. I still feel sorry for their loss.

I watched the videos in Ace's post. It looks to me as if she is attempting to avoid the cop. Yes she hits him, but it doesn't look intentional, and it certainly doesn't look as if she is trying to run him over.
Cop then shoots a second time when he is clearly not in danger. To me, that does not necessarily rise to the level of "a reasonable officer would believe the suspect poses an immediate threat of death or serious bodily harm to himself or others."
My first thought was literally "he didn't need to shoot".

See the Jackstraw video above from another angle, She hit him while trying to escape from another cop who had reached in teh window to try to turn off the car. She had it coming by playing a stupid game. She had plenty of time to stop initially but she played a stupid game, then she thought she would flee, that only gave her a split second to make a decision that would end up being fatal for her.
You take the ride downtown and get home for supper instead her ride was to the mortuary.
The ironic thing is that any seasoned street thug knew the rules that she ignored because of her karen 'privilege'. Too many of these gits think they are immune to law enforcement becuz they are some moral exemplar.

There isn't a lot of debate over operations once they get handed down. Maybe there is when guys are talking but once you're in a briefing room, if they say 'we're going' then you are going or you're resigning.

And you are wrong. For a citizen correct, for an officer stopping a fleeing violent felon, which she was regardless of intent. Once she started that car and did not obey a lawful order to stop, she set the train in motion so her actions are viewed in a continuous decision tree after the initial illegal decision not to stop when an officer is reaching inside to do so. That, in an off itself are two crimes, then hitting the officer, whether or not intention, is a forcible felony of assault on an officer, then further trying to flee made her a fleeing forcible felon.

Quote the relevant SCOTUS cases. I just read them. I think you are wrong. This one is not as clear-cut as you claim.
* She was fleeing.
* She struck the officer but it did not appear likely to cause death or serious injury.
* The threat may have been momentary or avoidable.
But hey, volunteer your services to defend the cop. You are so convinced of your correctness, I am sure it will sway the jury.

We already played this game in the case of Lon Horiuchi. He was indicted in Idaho for shooting Randy Weaver's wife and son. He faced a trial, before the trial, federal government raised supremacy clause because Horiuchi did the shooting under his official duties of the FBI, the trial judge ended the trial before a jury. Idaho appealed and the 9th sent it back to Idaho for a ruling on whether qualified immunity existed, by that time, a new prosecutor was in office and dropped the state charges.
End result, which is much more murky than this as Lon who was shooting from a great distance had no personal threat, avoiding arrest, or other charges to file against the wife or son, was not tried, then these ICE agents are very unlikely to be. The case would be in federal court, not state in that case.

It matters because someone reading might try to flee cops in a car fearing arrest. That is always a bad call. What a person 'thinks' the law should be should never be confused with what it is.

It's interesting how defensive you all are.
I'm as conservative as the next guy. I have plenty of experience with guns. If he is charged he still has to prove it was a reasonable decision that she posed immediate risk of serious bodily injury or death to himself or others.
I don't think she posed such a threat. Now, that's not saying the same thing as "would a reasonable officer think she posed such a threat", since I am making that assessment sitting in my chair in front of a computer.
But it's not clear-cut. That's all I am saying. Y'all can cry about that if you want but it's simply a fact.

I am guessing it was a CNS head shot. Dead immediately. She might have been dead already from the first shot through the windshield.

You've made up your mind. It's not about who is the better man. I suspect the ICE cop made an honest mistake. I am not judging him. If anything, putting ICE cops in this situation is the problem. They're not trained to deal with it the way regular cops are.

I don't cry about it. But your opinion does not comport with law because literally you do not know what you are watching.
Doesn't matter whether you play for team conservative or not. The woman in question committed a long line of offenses starting when she tried to flee--she failed to obey a lawful order to stop, she assaulted the officer while driving away with his arm inside the car doing a lawful attempt to stop her, she escalated the fact that she tried to pull around cars to affect an escape, she either intentionally or unintentionally hit an ICE officer whose job at that point was to stop a felon. Hitting him in the course of committing other crimes, she did a forcible felony at that point. And he shot her. Within another second, he shot her again to stop the threat to him and other officers as well as anyone else around the vehicle.
At each stage, she had the power to stop committing crimes, instead, she escalated them in an attempt to escape and hit an officer. She then got a fatal correction to her crimes.

The relevant case at hand is Tennessee v. Garner where the case involved a burglary suspect that was fatally shot while trying to climb over a fence. Scotus defines and has not changed from the forcible felony std going forward for Civil Rights lawsuit liability.
==
“Assault on a Federal Officer” Under 18 U.S.C. § 111
Using a vehicle to flee or break contact
During an attempted immigration arrest or traffic stop, the driver accelerates away with officers at the door, drags an officer who is partially inside the car, or collides with a pursuing government vehicle. DOJ routinely treats the car itself as a “dangerous weapon” and charges as a felony under § 111(b).
Felony assault on a federal officer
The statute allows enhanced penalties where there is:
Significant physical contact with the officer
or Use of a deadly or dangerous weapon
or Serious bodily injury
or Intent to commit another felony

The cop did not make an error in judgement, the person decided she was going to be a hero with a motor vehicle.
She struck a federal officer duly commissioned in the execution of their duties, precedent and logic immunize the agent.
That New Somalia will not preclude their political preferences from pursuing charges does not make them valid.

You ignore the fact that she was committing a forcible felony while fleeing from other crimes she committed. At that point, what she intended does not apply. Same with the officer, the officer shot to stop the threat and stepped aside while she was still committing the crime aka moving the vehicle. Both occurred within two seconds on a slippery icy road.
You either do not understand totality of circumstances requirement on reasonability or don't want to.
This is the reason why qualified immunity exists because someone second guessing a potentially lethal encounter means that the subjective view of the officer in that charged situation with short time span is what matters, not your opinion in the safety and pleasantry of your house.
It is frankly people like you that created the qualified immunity doctrine by insisting on immaculate law enforcement decisions in hindsight. It does not work that way.

As far as the shooting goes, from my perspective: it's a good shooting --
The officer was at the left front corner of the SUV in a blocking position, and the other officer was reaching in to get the driver. Lesbian AWFL decided to actively resist arrest and drive away. The shooting officer got clipped on the knee by the SUV and the other officer was getting spun off balance.
Lesbian AWFL FAFO -- she dead.

I know one deaf person from birth (her mother had Rubella the first trimester). She learned to lip read and speak vs ASL. However, closed captioning (on most tv's for decades) helped her vocabulary. My deaf grandmother also used closed captioning, learning the word, "fellato" during Clinton's trial. Why are ASL weirdos needed in 2026 (look! I wrote the correct year!).

From all the vehicle-involved shootings I have seen, this one looks borderline to me. And if he's prosecuted, in Minnesota he will have trouble in front of a jury. This is not a Derek Chauvin case where it was doubtful he even caused George Floyd's death.
You're spending a lot of time justifying your position. Primarily because it's not as clear-cut as you claim. I suspect also because you think your law training makes you a superior judge in this case. I've met many pretty dumb lawyers and not very many smart ones, so you'll forgive me if I don't accept your implicit argument from authority.

I don't buy the "SHE WAS TRYING TO RUN HIM OVER" charge, far more likely, like every other stupid feminist pink hair fucking with ICE she thought she had the right to stand up to the gestapo, but didn't want to stick around for arrest.
So she tried to bounce, and, no question, struck the guy with her car.
And she had the option to de-escalate the situation at any time.
I feel bad for this woman dying. I don't love this whole "FUCK EM THEY DESERVE WHAT THEY GET" attitude going around, but all the same, this woman was convinced by an entire industry that not only was it her moral duty to stand up to ice, she could do it and get away with it consequence free. That she could LITERALLY RUN FROM THE COPS & DRAG ONE when they try to arrest her, and it not be a problem.

Rather too stupid to appreciate the irony.
You know what they say about arguing with fools and wrestling with pigs. Or perhaps you don't. You do seem rather unread. In that case look it up. Bye.

Ah yes, an unarmed woman shot from 20 plus feet away is a justified and righteous shoot but a retard activist trying to play Mario Kart with LE is not....
again you are a fucking retard.

I never said Ashley Babbit was "justified and righteous". But the reason Byrd wasn't feted rather than prosecuted had precious little to do with the the law and everything to do with politics.
That's what I meant by 'If you believe that "the same set of laws" determines the outcome then I have a bridge to sell you. '
It's a little subtle. Think about it. Maybe you'll finally get it and prove yourself a little more than a fucking retard, although I doubt it.

Maybe visiting family for the holidays to MN. Maybe driving there to be an activist (her "wife" is said to be one, although never named). A photo of "wife" is the butch of the pair. Not that that matters to anyone but me, as I try to always figure this part out.
For her "wife" to say "she's new here and knows no one"...and cannot handle calling her "wife's" family identifies them as "new here" and not residents.
reddit is, of course, in a total uproar and one sided. NY Post is telling it how it happened. TMZ now has commenters screaming Nazi.
And so it goes...

Minnesota Statutes § 609.02, subd. 6 defines a "dangerous weapon" as any device designed as a weapon and capable of producing death or great bodily harm, or any other device or instrumentality that, in the manner it is used or intended to be used, is calculated or likely to produce death or great bodily harm.Vehicles routinely qualify under this when weaponized (e.g., accelerating toward a person).
Minnesota Statutes § 609.066 governs peace officers' use of deadly force and defines "deadly force" as force that the actor uses with purpose of causing, or should reasonably know creates a substantial risk of causing, death or great bodily harm.This aligns with civilian self-defense under § 609.065 (justification in defense of person/property), allowing reasonable deadly force against perceived imminent threat.

The Minnesota Supreme Court explicitly ruled in State v. Blevins (2024) that a vehicle can constitute a dangerous weapon under § 609.02 if its use is "likely to produce" death or great bodily harm, regardless of the driver's specific intent to cause harm.
The court rejected arguments that controlled operation (e.g., not full-speed ramming) prevents classification.
This upheld charges like second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon (§ 609.222) or first-degree assault (§ 609.221) involving vehicles.
Other cases (e.g., appellate decisions on vehicular assault) consistently treat cars as dangerous weapons in contexts like drive-by threats, ramming officers, or fleeing while endangering lives.
You're welcome counselor.

Also, my wife says this woman's son is orphaned now.
