Babies love magic, because babies are dumb.

Kids prank their mom with a "we broke your giant-screen TV" prank. I don't love how hard the mom flings the kid. Maybe deserved, though.

10 I heard of a study that had crazy results. They wanted to test how much microplastics affect men, and decided to test their semen. They purposely screened out men who work in microplastics or similar machinery.

Every man's semen had microplastics. 100%. It shocked the researchers.

The true elitism in the future will be if you can afford the machines that clean and filter our blood from all the crap we throw into it.

The Week In Woke

olbermannkentstateofourtime.jpg

Two nights ago on CNN -- on the yearly celebration of January 6th -- Abby Philip and her leftwing guests agreed that Ashli Babbitt deserved to be killed because a cop gave her an order and she refused to comply.

The left continues agitating for the assassination of Trump. This teacher -- of course -- wants to know "Who's going to take one for the team and just do it? And you know what 'it' I mean we have to do."

This leftist says he's going to finally "do it" and is currently videotaping himself in Washington DC to show he's serious about "doing it."

TikToker says he's "going to war" and coming after Pete Hegseth.

Leftist calls for the murder of the ICE agent who defended his life against a crazed leftist.


Jasmine Ratchet: When Charlie Kirk died, we didn't justify his murder!

Great, teachers are coming up with new excuses for staying at home on their fat asses:

Eric Daugherty
@EricLDaugh

17h

🚨 JUST IN: Because of the protests and riots, Minneapolis Schools are CANCELING mandatory in-person classes, offering virtual learning until Feb. 12

It's like a 3rd world country. Too dangerous to leave your house because of leftists.

SEND THE GUARD!


On MSNBC, a left-wing rabble-rousing fake pastor lies his gay ass off:


FactPost
@factpostnews

Pastor: I saw ICE agents circling a young woman who appeared to be Hispanic. I said to this ICE agent, 'Take me, stop harassing her.' The agent got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, 'Are you afraid now?' To which I said, 'I am not afraid.' The next thing I knew, they were putting handcuffs on me, and they put me in the back of an SUV. I asked them if I was under arrest. They said to me, 'Well, you're white, you won't be any fun anyway.'

Mark Hemingway commented: "Of all the things that didn't happen, this didn't happen the most."

AWFL cries over the deportation of illegals, sad that the "people who clean the sheets in your hotel, do you landscaping" are having the law applied to them.

"Gia," a useless SJW "worker" at a Hilton Hotel in Dallas, doxes the hotel's customers by telling the world that ICE agents are staying there. Fire her, ban her from the industry.

Elderly AWFL Karen wants you to know she's sick of you MAGA types calling her a Karen. You know who the Karen is? YOU.

Woke asshole AWFL broke her retainer by grinding her teeth because she's watching Trump "attack science." She becomes distraught when she finds out her dentist might have voted for Trump.

Democrat party official and LGBTQ activist arrested for, you'll never guess, child porn.

Dumpy leftwing Junior AWFL says she's fleeing Nazis in the US by moving to Germany. Dis Bitch can't even cut carbs, I don't think she's going to emigrate.

Black radical: You can't do the "Say her name" chant for the white woman who was shot (while resisting arrest and attacking officers). The "say her name" chant is only for black women who are shot while resisting arrest and attacking officers. So stop it, White Racists!

I’ll give you something to ponder.

Got, our creator sent his only Son to this earth invariably to save us from death and give us eternal life.

That is, the Messiah. Essentially God in the flesh.

Many who read scripture knew that day would come. The prophets foretold it long before it happened.

And yet, when He finally came, performed miracles and fulfilled prophecy, the don’t just murder Him on the cross. The tortured him first.

The Son of Man.

You can say it was to fulfill prophecy and give us eternal life. And you would be right.

But it was fulfilled because God also knew the nature of man. That men, would do anything to protect their power. And the did.

Once you understand that men knowingly killed the Son of God, you’ll realize that men who want to protect their power will do anything to keep it. And like me, you won’t be surprised by anything they do. Ever.

If we can distrust authority when it suits us--then I can make a deal out of the lack of 100% proof that Byrd said anything and just shot her from his hidey-hole.

68 ICE/CBP BORTAC Unit just brutally abducted 2 US Citizens/peaceful protesters at a memorial protest for Renee Good near Minneapolis
Link to Reddit thread with video of smellies getting roughed up: https://tinyurl.com/3svemrt4

Where are the national guards to protect the people? Remembered the governor threatened to mobilise them. It's time to actually do it.

the mayor and governor have both been all talk in response to this, zero action. Saying things like "this is unacceptable" and "gtfo" make for good sound bites on the evening news, but when nothing actually happens as a result, it comes off as politicians just being politicians: all talk, no action

Trump literally just said “we protect ICE we protect Law Enforcement”. I think it’s safe to say that sets the precedent that these thugs can kill who ever they want. As a Canadian I feel sorry for you.

He punched her in the neck, then twisted her collar to choke point while pinning to vehicle! Notice how they keep attacking the woman, more often then not? That’s a feature, not a bug.

85 >>Abby Philip and her leftwing guests agreed that Ashli Babbitt deserved to be killed because a cop gave her an order and she refused to comply.

I’ll give you something to ponder.

God, our creator sent his only Son to this earth invariably to save us from death and give us eternal life.

That is, the Messiah. Essentially God in the flesh.

Many who read scripture knew that day would come. The prophets foretold it long before it happened.

And yet, when He finally came, performed miracles and fulfilled prophecy, they didnt just murder Him on the cross. The tortured him first.

The Son of Man.

You can say it was to fulfill prophecy and give us eternal life. And you would be right.

But it was fulfilled because God also knew the nature of man. That men, would do anything to protect their power. And they did.

Once you understand that men knowingly killed the Son of God, you’ll realize that men who want to protect their power will do anything to keep it. And like me, you won’t be surprised by anything they do. Ever.

I've been studying the Gospel of Matthew, and I'd love your thoughts on my theory that Annas was one of the priests who was summoned by King Herod in Chapter 2:3-6. The chief priests and teachers were called, and since Annas was appointed High Priest in 6 A.D., he would have been one of them. He was there when Herod asked them about the Magi's question, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews?" That, the priests who heard John the Baptist (and were perhaps even there at Jesus' baptism and the announcement of God that "This is my Son..." would indicate you are correct. Caiaphas, who presided over the trial of Jesus was Annas' SIL. They knew who he was and still rejected Him.

222 212 Pastor: I saw ICE agents circling a young woman who appeared to be Hispanic. I said to this ICE agent, 'Take me, stop harassing her.' The agent got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, 'Are you afraid now?' To which I said, 'I am not afraid.' The next thing I knew, they were putting handcuffs on me, and they put me in the back of an SUV. I asked them if I was under arrest. They said to me, 'Well, you're white, you won't be any fun anyway.'

Dang Pastor, if you're going to lie you need to make it at least somewhat believable.

GoFundMe would cancel it if it was a conservative. But I wonder if there is some "we do not support terrorists" or "we do not support criminals" clause in their agreements. Cuz lesbian 2 was certainly part of criminal and/or terrorist actions. And she is the one that convinced her "wife" to be there, and to drive baby drive into the ICE agent.

First Charlie Kirk -- and since "The Chosen" -- have encouraged me to revisit the Christian Scriptures (and I imagine I'm among millions worldwide, so not a bad Ministry by its creator Dallas Jenkins, eh? ... so the latter also has that going for it.

Finally, there's a Messianic Jew spiritual advisor whom I saw once in one of the "aftershow" videos -- Rabbi Jason Sobel; I was so impressed with him that I did some research, and he does a couple of Tours each year to The Holy Land -- so Wifey and I are going next October after I fully retire (and hope we don't miss the TX MoMe) ...

Other than that it's a dramatization. It can't be just "Jesus said" stuff. It has Jesus and the disciples going about life.

I don't really think Matthew was autistic.

Then again, historically, Matthew is the best argument against the idea that "it was all oral tradition" as Matthew was literate and numerate. And I saw a Bible scholar says that there are indications that Matthew took notes. Not surprising he's one of the major authors of Jesus' life.

306 Then again, historically, Matthew is the best argument against the idea that "it was all oral tradition" as Matthew was literate and numerate. And I saw a Bible scholar says that there are indications that Matthew took notes. Not surprising he's one of the major authors of Jesus' life.

The Gospel writers stand up well. Luke isn’t in The Chosen, as he came a bit later, but there’s good indications that he interviewed as many witnesses as he could, like a modern (good) journalist would do. Most notably Mary.

Conan O'Brien: "Comedians" Who Do Nothing But Shout "F*** Trump" Are Not Comedians, Actual Comedians Need to be Funny

This guy's a liberal asshole -- remember him doing PSAs for the beauty and stability of Haiti, after Trump correctly diagnosed it as a shithole?

He's making an argument for Fighting Liberal Comedians like himself to actually try to be funny, because actual funniness is the "best weapon against power." (Um, it's not-- weapons are the best weapons -- but it's a weapon, I guess.)

So he's not making a conservative point here, just telling his fellow shitlibs how to be more effective in their anti-Trump agitation.

But if he's running down Steven Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel -- which he CLEARLY is -- I approve.

Gee, I wonder who he's talking about?

Here's a funny Special Commentary for the fat unfunny clown.

Some anti-woke comedy:

First guy up, Ben Bankas, says he can support late-term abortion... if a test tells him the baby is trans. Give it a chance. It gets dark.


He also doesn't understand why liberals say that America is the most racist country in the world, but everyone wants to come here. "Do they not know? Maybe we should tell them. So they don't come."

Another comic is sick of Woke Welcome mats.

I don't know if this is political per se, but it makes the point that woke white women in therapy to "improve themselves" are gigantic c*nts.


An old clip of Trump clowning around on some TV show.

Oh, by the way, in case you see this video of George Carlin ranting about "ideology becoming your identity" in your feed, it's an AI fake. I got suspicious because 1, Carlin was a cranky far-left liberal and he usually tried to spare the left from criticism, and 2, the guy died like 25 years ago but this rant sounds like it's about the current moment, right now. It's just not possible to see the future that clearly, and I can tell you that because I've gone into the future with the time machine I don't have and all of our predictions are far from the mark.

The issue here is that the north (and south I assume) are as semi-nice as they may be because they're not paying attention to the central authority of Port Au-Let.

I like the idea Larry Niven suggested in his novelette The Borderland of Sol," that Pluto is a loose moon of Neptune, and there are *four* more planets out there. Persephone, Caina, Antinora, and Ptolemea. "Judecca" would be next, one character says: "Hell. The four innermost divisions of Dante's Hell. They form a great ice plain with sinners frozen into it."

I have seen that argument made in self defense shootings. That is why such people should not have a vote as they are driven by emotions, not facts or logic.

Includes males too. Some dumbasses in OK were directed by some stupid thug beyotch to do a home invasion. One was armed with a knife, another a firearm, and the third was going along with the plan. A righteous dude using an AR-15 put all three of them in the grave when they broke in waving their gun and knife around. Beyootch skeddadled as she was driving the getaway car.

Grandpa of one of the boys was bitching about how the righteous dude was not going to be charged at all because OK and home invasion.

He started mouthing stupid shit in interviews like the perp was just a boy, getting his life back together, dindu nuffin and should not have been shot for participating in an armed home invasion.

My guess is grandpa was a criminal as well but he could just be terminally stupid.

60 Chapelle has a new comedy special on Netflix, and has a bit where he brings up Charlie Kirk, apparently. I think Charlie would have been thrilled to be mentioned by Dave. RIP.

I might just have to watch it myself to get a sense if it's decent or not. The majority of the reviews call it not his best, some say he's phoning it in. But these are the same people upset he makes trans jokes, so...

This from the people who are constantly complaining that things are ‘taken out of context’ in order to deflect criticism from their own bad statements or behavior.

We saw part of the context: Stalking, defiance, mocking, berating- and more. In this context, as the partner is yelling “Driv, baby, drive!” she meant harm.

Um, yeah. Not quite the insight I was hoping for. See, we've known that (and all other instances where excessive profanity is the norm) for decades. Decades.

It's a tact for the less talented to appeal to drunk college students and stupid people who reflexively laugh because others laugh first.

So good on Conan for restating the obvious. Hooray! You're now peak smart. Post-Covid era, I guess this is progress.

Triumph at the NY premiere of Attack of the Clones was one of the funniest things I ever saw. Robert Smigel was on Conan's podcast relatively recently, and he killed there as well. I never knew what he looked like before - I just saw Triumph in a lot of those segments. That man is legend.

100 ‘Carlin was a cranky far-left liberal and he usually tried to spare the left from criticism’

I’m not sure about that. He hated on everyone. He specially hated on politicians in general. Later in his career, he did take a weird anti-religious turn, but I don’t remember him framing it in terms of left-right politics. I actually remembered him saying there weren’t two parties, just one giant party out to fuck you. He was right about that.

It really reminds me of the old Soviet Union. They had iron clad co from over every auspice of your life, and would wield it against you if you crossed them. They literally destroyed people’s lives, killed them, bankrupt them or harassed their families.

All because they had power, and clowns like this asshole went all in on stomping out our rights. Because they could, and because they are cowards.

Look at this sad womanly waif. He couldn’t beat a quadriplegic fat man laying on his back. But suddenly he could speak with impunity because Democrats had his back.

140 The reverse psychology on late-term abortion is worth a try.

I spend time on the sidewalk in front of Planned Parenthood every week. Given the right opportunity, I'm looking to tell a woman to go on in and have her abortion, because we aren't interested in saving any future Democrat voters.

Let her think about that for a while. Not sure it will work, but as reverse psychology it just might penetrate past the "liberal power" shell to realize the stupidity of what they are doing.

141 The culture of women who go to therapy a lot are such a rich ground for comedy mining. One thing that always made me laugh is when a woman blames her failures on being "empathic."

Meet Renee, when she was not being sneer polite at some point in her rainbow adventure series.

My new theory is that she and her "widow" were raising the 6yo (I think a boy from her 2nd marriage in CO) to be a girl. Purely from her tee shirt in these photos.

Which is abuse and I am hoping grandpa is going to rescue the child asap.

I am also hoping the US government will freeze all but about 40k for her funeral from the goFundme to agitate ICE, now at $1.5million.

Here she is! And how she looks to the kid if she steps on a Lego or spills his oat milk!He's probably very familiar to this look:

154 Reports from Christian ministries indicate that around 50,000 of Iran’s roughly 75,000 mosques have closed or fallen into disuse in recent years, largely due to low attendance. Many Iranians, disillusioned by economic hardship, government oppression, and the harsh enforcement of Islamic law—especially after the brutal crackdown on women protesting hijab laws—are turning away from the state-sponsored version of Islam.

Within the turmoil, a growing number of Iranians (estimates range from several hundred thousand to around three million) are coming to faith in Jesus Christ. The frequent testimony of Iranians encountering Jesus personally through dreams and visions, experiences many describe as undeniably supernatural encounters, are a remarkabky common occurrence with these conversions.

I've noticed a lot of people think obnoxious = funny (not saying this applies to you), and that is what I always associate with Ferrell.

I've very much enjoyed some of his movies, but that said, I can't stand when he is doing the circuit promoting one, because he is always, always in character.

Maybe that's his way of keeping his personal life separate from his professional, or maybe he's like the guy in Vonnegut's "Who Am I This Time?", but it does nothing to endear him to me.

From what I can gather from other sources, Good had three children, but only one, the six-year-old, lived with her. Maybe different baby daddy? I don't have a clue.

I know more than I want to from what I can find. Unless she knew Bull Dyke with #1 husband (those are the kids he has). He's alive and has stories.

#2 husband died in 2023 in Colorado, and is the father of the kid she and current Bull Dyke have.

Maybe she's had multiple lesbos with each husband?

I have seen the cig burn stuff before. Unsure if related to first 2 kids with #1 husband or not.

I initially read it as this kid now, and guessed why they moved 3 times in 2yrs including out of the country (to avoid CPS checks).

I thought that odd due to Trump (re: lesbos).

Today I think the move was the trans deal.Because days after the election reddit was on fire over trans and parents yanking them out of schools.

I would bet a dollar that they are raising this kid(boy?) trans. Which is abuse (Munchausen's by Proxy). Because of the charter school hint and, well, they are lesbian activists who like to shock. Poor kid.

239 >>> The culture of women who go to therapy a lot are such a rich ground for comedy mining. One thing that always made me laugh is when a woman blames her failures on being "empathic." She is constantly emotionally exhausted because she feels everyone's feelings. She just cares so much! Whenever you hear a woman claim to be an empath, there's a 99% chance she's a giant cunt.
Posted by: bonhomme at January 09, 2026 05:56 PM (Yp6az)

Being empathetic is a real thing. The problem is when you have no boundaries and are a doormat for everyone in your life, and let the crazies in your life suck you dry like an emotional vampire. Now I'm peri-menopausal and my IDGAF meter is running higher and higher, things are getting better on that front.

There's a great woman who runs a "We Do Not Care Club," for pre menopausal to post menopausal woman, where she lists the things the club just doesn't care abut anymore. We don't have the time or energy, we're over it. She pulls out a highlighter to mark off the items of the day, and rips the highlighter off with her teeth and spits it away before she runs down her list. I love her.

She has so many followers that she got a book deal! Well deserved.

Axios: Trump Alerted the Secret Service about Marjorie Taylor Greene, Believing She Tipped Off Code Pink About His Location So That They Could Ambush Him

This sounds like something a deranged, bitter narcissist and retard would do.

The relationship between President Trump and former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene grew so poisonous that the White House told the Secret Service that Greene may have tipped off Code Pink protesters about his surprise visit last fall to a D.C. restaurant she recommended, two sources on Trump's team tell Axios.

That episode -- which involved a chaotic confrontation between anti-war activists and Trump -- embarrassed the president and intensified concerns in the White House about his safety, a year after he narrowly escaped an assassination attempt.


Why it matters: Trump aides view the Joe's Seafood debacle as a point of no return in his relationship with Greene, a Trump ally-turned-critic who left office this week.

Greene told Axios that any suggestion she revealed Trump's dinner plans was "an absolute lie, a dangerous lie. I would never do that."

She said she recommended the restaurant to Trump but didn't know when he would go there.

Greene added that only the fancy lobbyist hangout -- a few blocks from the White House, at 15th and H NW -- and Trump aides knew of the reservation. She said: "The story you should be writing is why didn't the Secret Service sweep the restaurant," and have metal detectors at the door?

Yeah, that's not a defense. That's bringing up irrelevant bullshit to cloud the issues.


It's unclear whether Greene is being investigated by the Secret Service, which did not respond to a request for comment. Greene didn't respond when asked whether the Secret Service had contacted her.

Zoom in: Trump's Sept. 9 outing to Joe's with Vice President Vance and several Cabinet members was part of an effort to show the president's deployment of National Guard troops had made D.C. streets safer.

Protesters with the liberal group Code Pink got within feet of Trump's table and chanted: "Free DC.! Free Palestine! Trump is the Hitler of our time!"

For weeks afterward, Trump aides say they tried to discern how the group knew about his unannounced dinner plans, which were known only to a few people. The media wasn't given a heads-up about Trump's plans.

...

White House officials didn't provide direct evidence that Greene alerted the protesters, but said their suspicions rest on two factors:

1. Her suggesting where Trump should dine

Officials say that after recommending the president go to Joe's, Greene repeatedly called White House staffers the day of the dinner to confirm he was going.

I mean... that's game over, right? She claims that she didn't know when he was going but she kept calling him on the day of the dinner to verify he was going there.

After Trump heard about Greene's calls, he called her shortly before leaving the White House and confirmed his planned visit, the sources said.

Greene -- who was a regular at the restaurant -- didn't show up there when Trump and other officials were there, which struck some Trump aides as odd.

Indeed. Why didn't this attention whore and would-be teachers pet show up?

2. Greene's relationship with Code Pink

White House aides note Greene is friends with Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin.

Greene and the organization are aligned in their opposition to the U.S. providing military aid to Ukraine and Israel.

Benjamin last year praised Greene for opposing Trump's bombing of nuclear sites in Iran and for calling to strip foreign aid from the Pentagon's budget.

...

"I have enjoyed a friendship with Medea for a few years now, even though politics says that's not allowed," Greene said later.


...

The other side: Greene felt slighted from the early days of Trump's second administration, according to a source familiar with her thinking.

She believed Trump lieutenants didn't take her suggestions seriously and ignored her outreach even though she'd shown her loyalty to Trump for years, the source said.

That's because you're a fucking retard and your ideas are retard-shit.

@RepMTG

This is exactly what I told this little WH tool that wrote this absurd dangerous LIE about me on behalf of the WH because they are mad at me for telling the truth about the President and forcing the release of the Epstein files. Now they are making up horrific lies about me!!

Her denial makes me think it's true, because she just starts spamming out irrelevant claims, like that it was all the Secret Service's fault because, she claims, they didn't sweep the restaurant. Okay, maybe they did or maybe they didn't -- that's irrelevant to the question of whether you tipped off Code Pink, and spamming out irrelevant nonsense makes me think: "The guilty mind betrays itself."

I don't feel like quoting or addressing the rest of her screed. It's her usual shrieky-freaky scatterbrained ding-a-ling nonsense.

54 I think part of the reason a lot of the early Trump supporters are flaking out is that they are no longer important.

By that I mean that in 2016, Trump backers were thin on the ground, and he had to take what he could get. This meant schlubs, retreads and dimbulbs.

But now, he's leveled up, and can command first-class political talent. He doesn't need these losers cramping his style. He's like the nerd kid who had to put up with fat chicks because he was 4'9" in boots but now he hit a growth spurt, is closing on 6' and the cheerleaders are flirting with him.

First they ended up in the friendzone, now they're getting dissed.

Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at January 09, 2026 04:40 PM (ZOv7s)

55 There's no possible way a high ranking political supporter of Trump's could also be friends with Medea Benjamin. She isn't just a leftist freak AWFL, she is a hardcore Marxist.

Her partner at Code Pink is Jodie Evans. Evans is married to Neville Singham. Singham is a tool wealthy tool of the CCP and widely suspected of giving millions to BLM and antifa as well as other communist groups.

There's no chance MTG didn't know this.

62 Actually, this fills in some of the blanks. In September 2025, Greene did a press conference in Georgia which started out with her making an off the cuff comment of "if they say it was suicide, it wasn't suicide" and then went into whatever the press conference was about without any clarification on that seemingly strange comment.

The article above says that the restaurant scenario occurred in the fall. So, that is likely what she was commented about, and it, also, suggests she did indeed set Trump up.

100 Hello, Don. Are you surprised? This is what you’ve reduced me to. I guess you thought you'd get away with it. Well... you can't. 'Cause part of you is growing inside of me, and that's a fact, Don. You'd better start... learning how to deal with it. ‘Cause, you know, I... I feel you. I taste you. I think you. I touch you. Can you understand? Can you? I'm just... asking you... to acknowledge your responsibilities. Is that so bad? I-I-I don't think so. I mean, I don't think it's unreasonable. And... you know, another thing... is that you thought you could just walk into my life, and turn it upside down, without a thought for anyone but yourself. You know what you are, Don? You are a cock-sucking son of a bitch. I hate you. I bet you don't even like real girls, do you? Ha! You disappoint me, you fucking faggot!

Didn't happen and she got mightily pissed.

Similar to Michael Cohen who seemingly expected Trump45 would give him a yuuuge, important job in the White House, or appoint him to be a cabinet secretary. Didn't happen so he turned on Trump.

Posted by: SMOD

Lives mostly in NYC now I think while representing Oregon. Big grifter I think now. AI summary fwiw.

"Ron Wyden has been described by critics as a "grifter" due to allegations of conflicts of interest and ethical concerns surrounding his political career.

One article claims he took $1,207,873 from the pharmaceutical industry, raising questions about his motivations when voting against RFK Jr.'s nomination, suggesting he represents Big Pharma rather than the people of Oregon.

The piece further accuses him of changing positions based on financial incentives and calls him a "career politician" who amassed a net worth between $6 million and $10 million, which the author implies may stem from insider trading.

Additional scrutiny comes from financial disclosures showing that his wife owns up to $3 million in stocks in major tech companies, while Wyden advocates for policies favorable to Big Tech, leading to accusations of a conflict of interest."

233 Here it is:

Conspiracy theory no more.

Not only did
@DOGE
confirm it—the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has re-confirmed it:
The Democrats have extorted the generosity of the American people.
Illegal aliens were issued Social Security numbers with maximum Social Security benefit payouts by the Biden–Harris terrorist administration:

• 270,425 in 2021
• 590,193 in 2022
• 964,163 in 2023
• 2,095,247 in 2024—on their way out the door
With a whopping 1.4 million illegals on Medicaid.

DOGE:
Antonio Gracias: “We found that there were about 5 million of them who came into the country illegally and got through an automatic system with Social Security numbers. We tracked that and found that they were on maximum benefit programs. We then looked to see if they were on the voter rolls, and in a handful of cooperative states, we found thousands of them. Many of them had voted.”
And here is another conspiracy theory that is no more: over $9 billion of American taxpayer money was also extorted in Minnesota by the Democrats.
In other words: your generosity has been robbed. Deceived. Blackmailed. Extorted.

I want to say that was the argument against the Furies tormenting whats-his-name for killing his mother Clytemnestra after she and her lover killed his father Agamemnon when he got back from the Trojan war.

You know, after I fully retire next year, I'm worried I'll sit on my ass all day reading (and being amused, entertained, and continually-educated) and commenting here.

I enjoy the virtual companionship & friendship & stimulating conversation -- as I'm a loner and generally have had no close friends IRL.

One thing I do miss from my youth and occasional adulthood (when single) was playing poker -- which I was pretty good at -- as it could be a bit of a microcosm of this experience here.

Anywho, I imagine I could figure out how to use modern technology to have a virtual poker game with some of the guys & gals here -- although how do I know you won't cheat me out of my life savings? j/k It's a stream-of-consciousness thought for now ...

Yes; according to Edith Hamilton's recounting, Medea murdered her brother to slow her father's pursuit of the Argo. Then she murdered King Pelias, who had sent Jason after the Fleece, by fooling his daughters into trying to make him young again by cutting him into pieces for a magic spell Medea would perform. Ha, ha, didn't work.

Then she murdered Jason's bride-to be by poisoning a gown she sent to the girl as a wedding gift. When the girl put it on, she was enveloped by fire.

Medea was quite a bit crazier than Helen. Helen might have been super-manipulative, but Medea was *nuts*.

Years ago, when Michigan was debating changes to its concealed carry law, my wife and I overheard a table full of Dem staffers all agree that gun laws are absolutely necessary because of all the times they would have shot someone if THEY had a gun handy, and they are good, non-violent people, not like stupid conservatives.

327 re Benjamin's name, per wiki:

She was born Susan Benjamin, but changed her name to Medea after her first year at Tufts (joined the SDS, later dropped out), because "liked how the name sounded, and she had heard a feminist interpretation of the Greek tragedy suggesting that Medea had never killed her children and was only blamed for it by patriarchal traditions".

She chose to celebrate the name herself, because she is stupid, as well as evil.

Neighbors? Isn't that a bit generous? They weren't from there and knew no one (as I understand it). I'm sorry but if I live in one city and you live in another city, county, state, or country, you're not really my neighbor. Words matter.

And as an aside, the pro-insurrectionist collectives don't even refer to the police, military, or various authorities tasked with enforcing law as neighbors/citizens either. They might as well be invaders from another planet as far as they're concerned. They're the Other and to be defined as such so as to make them less than human and viable targets of violence.

Even CNN Admits That the Lunatic Lesbian Leftist Tried to Run Down the ICE Agent

When you've lost CNN... you've lost practically no one else, because no one watches CNN.

Another video shows the leftwing terrorist hitting the ICE agent with the car, from his body-camera's POV:

The left has been claiming that it was okay to run the ICE agent down because she didn't know he was an ICE agent. They make this claim when agents wear masks and stuff. They claim that that gives them the right to treat them as muggers and use deadly force in "self defense."

Of course, this woman was trained by "ICE Watch" and specifically went to the place to harass ICE.

She is not, as Adam Schiff is claiming, just a good Christian woman who was driving her car peacefully that day.

Renee Nicole Good, the mom who was killed by a federal agent after veering her car toward him, was an anti-ICE "warrior" and was part of a group of activists who worked to "document and resist" the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota, The Post can reveal.

Good, who moved to the city last year, linked up with the anti-ICE activists through her 6-year-old son's woke charter school, which boasts that it puts "social justice first" and prioritizes "involving kids in political and social activism," multiple local sources said.

"She was a warrior. She died doing what was right," a mother named Leesa, whose child attends the same school, told The Post at a growing vigil where Good was killed Wednesday.

"I know she was doing the right thing. I watched the video plenty of times but I also know in my heart the woman she was, she was doing everything right."

Good and her wife, Rebecca, 40, were raising the boy together in the mostly working-class, activist-heavy neighborhood of south Minneapolis, which features tree-lined streets and a large number of homes with windows decked out in LGBTQ+ flags or signs depicting George Floyd.

Just as many others did in the lefty enclave, Good sent her son to Southside Family Charter School, a K-5 academy opened in 1972 that from its inception has been "unabashedly dedicated to social justice education," according to co-founder Susie Oppenheim.

It was through her involvement in the school community that Good became involved in "ICE Watch" -- a loose coalition of activists dedicated to disrupting ICE raids in the sanctuary city.

"From my understanding, she was involved in social justice ... we are a tight-knit community and a lot of parents are [activists]," former Southside gym teacher Rashad Rich, who resigned from the school last month, told The Post.

He said current event topics like the killing of George Floyd were regular parts of the curriculum, and that last month students took a field trip where they learned about "aboriginal issues" -- a reference to the indigenous people of far-away Australia.

Coalitions similar to ICE Watch have cropped up all over the country -- with activists using phone apps, whistles and car horns to warn neighborhoods when ICE shows up.

ICE Watch and adjacent groups can also turn confrontational -- with numerous instances of activists ramming agents with their cars in the past.

"[Renee Good] was trained against these ICE agents -- what to do, what not to do, it's a very thorough training," Leesa said.

"To listen to commands, to know your rights, to whistle when you see an ICE agent," she added.

Leftwing women are now majority psychopathic and enraptured by the idea of killing people.

There's something very wrong with left-wing women. All I can say is, if you're big enough to lay hands on someone else, you're big enough to take a punch in the face. We're going to be seeing some Equal Rights and Equal Lefts.

Look at this leftwing woman, for example: "To ICE, get the f*** out of Minneapolis."

Arrest him.

Minnesota has spent years building an infrastructure of ICE watch patrols, NGO backed rapid response teams, and politically wired nonprofits that can flip from ordinary life to street mobilization in minutes.
The key to Minnesota's rapid mobilization is not Twitter activism. It is an on the ground surveillance and response network that local reporters have already documented in detail. A Star Tribune investigation into the "organized resistance to ICE" in Minnesota reads like a field manual for modern grassroots intelligence operations.​....

61 To reiterate from last comment thread;

Lot of stupid younger lefties are trying to claim the lady didn't step on the gas, and that the wheels spinning is "just what happens when you put it in drive"

This is because it's common practice for retarded millenials and zoomers - and especially women, sorry ladies - to shift into drive or park while rolling backwards, sometimes with their foot still on the gas pedal.

I don't think that's what happened here, though; the vehicle was fully stopped for much longer than it'd normally take to go from driving backwards under power to going into drive. I take great exception to cops putting themselves in front of vehicles for dumb reasons and then shooting drivers, but this was already a legit arrest, so good shoot.

When she got into her SUV with the intent to cause mayhem, she could have reevaluated her position. She did not.

When initially confronted by ICE and told to stop her car, roll down the window, she did not.

When ordered to stop and get out, just prior to attempting to run over an ICE agent, she did not.

It can't be done. It's permanent.

After Mao died, the CCP was able to wind down the Cultural Revolution and send the Red Guards home, except for the dedicated and most radical young women. They couldn't be stopped, and had to be slaughtered because there was nowhere safe to lock them up.

We have more places to lock them up, but that's what it's going to take. Make the behavior entire unacceptable and quarantine those who can't pretend to live normally. We're going to need a Coventry to deal with it. This crap is endemic among Millennial women and not at all uncommon among X. At least half of them will, if it becomes too unacceptable, shut up and pretend and crawl into their wine boxes and Xanex and pretend it was all never true but a whole hell of a lot of them will not.

But we might need a literal penal colony to deal with it. Maybe a corner carved out of one of the Dakotas.

Obviously the progs on reddit are full of shit, but, on topic, they don't even need arrest powers. Dude had a right to be there and not get run over.

A generic citizen would not be empowered to stand in front of her vehicle and detain her, but if she pulled that shit while any of us were walking in front while doing her traffic schizo act and she gunned it, we'd be similarly justified in shooting her in the face.

Make them pony up for bail and defense lawyers. Once the mortgage and Honda payments start getting chancy, this phenomenon will come to a stop.

Yeah, I know there are foundations, but so what? Start draining their asses too. Even if the women can get financial support, going to federal lockup is pretty stressful. It'll take a lot of romance out this resistance BS. You can see the looks on their faces.

No.

It doesn't matter if she wants to "leave", if you're gonna "leave" - whether or not you are being detained or are under verbal commands for arrest - you cannot "leave" through someone else with a vehicle, and someone in a position to get run over pretty much has a blank check to shoot you in the face.

It is entirely possible to have a driver who is just fucking stupid and doesn't intend to hurt anyone, and still have them be a good shoot.

I don't think she intended to run him down, I think she intended to leave but had a bad case of woman driver. If she'd cut the wheels over first it would be a really dodgy shoot.

She did not, so fuck her.

170 Hell, from the officer's vid, you could reasonably make the case that the gun went off *because* she hit him. It's that sudden.
Posted by: SloPitch Whiffer at January 09, 2026 03:42 PM (NYInA)

No, the video that the other lesbian was recording shows the ICE officer drawing his sidearm and putting one round into the windshield before he's hit. That shot penetrated the windshield and hit Renee Good.

There's a photo floating around that show hits in the driver's side mirror housing (shot 2) and the door panel under the window (shot 3).

That dude cleared his holster and got off a good aimed shot in less than a second. That's damned good since he was recording video, and everything went to $hit in a heartbeat.

My guess is that she got hit in the neck or lower chin area. Which is rather ironic, considering all the Commies giggling about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

172 Not sure if anyone said this clearly.

It is possible that the cop did not shoot to protect himself, but to prevent the officer at the window from being dragged like he had been in past.

This is important as it gives him another line of defense completely separate from him being in front of a car, or him wasting time shooting instead of moving. Even if you remove him from the proximity to the car, and even if he was not hit, he was justified to prevent harm to the officer at the window.

Feds have the felony murder statute to use if they choose. Outside Lesbo was part and parcel of the illegal obstruction of ICE doing their law enforcement duties. The fact that the Lesbo driver got killed means that the outside filming Lesbo was involved in her lesbo driver's death as part of an intentional crime to obstruct federal officers.

Irrelevant. She had a duty to stop and get out of the car when she was ordered to by a law enforcement agent. She had a duty to take due care not to hit the law enforcement agent with her car. She drove her car toward the officer, wheels turned or not, and hit him.

All of this matters, but not as much as the officer's POV at the time he drew, pointed, and pressed the trigger. That officer has a right to self defense. He reasonably understood himself to be in lethal danger by the driver of the car at the time he pulled the trigger.

213 From now on, when I get in the car with my husband, I am going to say, "Drive, baby, drive, drive!"

The main problem with this is we never call each other "baby." Probably because a weird couple we knew did (my exBFnotF) when we were first dating. But also because I say bay-bee like a drunk Australian. I have issues with that vowel in my redneck Southern accent. He used to ask me to say baby to snicker.

If CNN is reporting, as you said, Ace of my heart, then all is lost for this wonderful and abusive mommy of RadLesbosRus.

I just want that poor 6yr old (I think a boy) given to his paternal grandfather. I am sure grandpa has stories to tell of this late sneering wacko. Who lost custody of her other two kids to her first husband due to her abuse (who has even more stories to tell).

IF this kid did have cig burns from either lesbo "parent" he needs to be with someone else. Certainly not the lesbo "wife/widow" regardless of who burned him.

The "wife," being super snark filming, does not seem to be good mother material.

249 ICE Watch and adjacent groups can also turn confrontational -- with numerous instances of activists ramming agents with their cars in the past.

So it's a criminal organization for the purpose of aiding and abetting illegal immigration through the targeting and obstruction of federal law enforcement by violent means. Sounds insurrectiony. Maybe even approaching domestic terrorism.

Someone earlier pointed out that typical pols, government types, and even businesspersons prefer stability and predictability over a more over a more conducive but unpredictable climate. Trump rose up in a world governed by dynamism and change - he's in his element there - and that's why he's rich. Many of the pols etc simply lack the native wit to compete in his arena, and that's why he's constantly pantsing them. They just can't understand how this guy keeps running circles around them.

318 Willowed. 417. Reportedly, her second husband, Timmy Ray Macklin Jr., who died in 2023, was a U.S. Air Force veteran.

Good had moved with her parents in Kansas City for a brief period after his death and before moving to be with her latest partner in MN.
Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day

Slightly different from above, "Good, who moved to the city last year, linked up with the anti-ICE activists through her 6-year-old son's woke charter school, which boasts that it puts "social justice first" and prioritizes "involving kids in political and social activism," multiple local sources said."

However, there is info. that Good was born & spent the majority of her life in Colorado, where her two older children live with her first (ex) husband.

After her 2nd husband died in 2023, she and the youngest of her 3 kids lived with her parents in Kansas for a time. Then she moved with her current partner and 3rd child to Kansas City, Missouri for about two years.

At the time of her death, Good, her partner and her 3rd child had only lived in Minneapolis for months.

He was struck by the vehicle. A few inches more to the left could have seriously injured or killed him. He's not expected to make those precise calculations before deciding to use force. Ever been walking in a parking lot when a vehicle recklessly back up and moved erratically when you're nearby. It's scary. Now amplify that feeling by tenfold because your immediately in front of the recklessly moving vehicle as it lunches towards you.

So this is tied to the birth dirth.

While there has long been a socially active upper middle class older female cohort they were traditionally occupied by their kids and grandkids - the involvement in past movements like prohibition was somewhat limited by this.

To counteract it then you do need to fix the birth dirth AND give them something to do that isn't fundamentally destructive. This is an area where the right really hasn't made much of an attempt - Glenn Reynolds idea to have a right leaning rich guy buy some women's magazines would be a start...

Posted by: Axeman

That's obviously not what I am saying. I'm saying exactly that his perception of danger was almost certainly heavily conditioned by his recent experience, and that that likely affected his judgement in this case.

There's a reason cops get psych evals and take time out after lethal interactions. Prior incident wasn't a lethal interaction but it could have been as psychologically significant if he feared for his life in that case.

None of this is blaming the cop. And if "totality of the circumstances" is extended to include the prior incident, then it could be a justified shooting. But I suspect it's only a mitigating factor.

General Motors writes down $6 billion as domestic EV sales plans change

American automakers who got overenthusiastic about electric vehicles continue to pay the price—literally. Yesterday, General Motors told investors that building and selling fewer EVs will cost the company $6 billion. Still, things could be worse—last month, rival Ford said it would write down $19.5 billion as a result of its failed EV bet.

GM is not actually abandoning its EV portfolio, even as it reduces shifts at some plants and repurposes others—like the one in Orion, Michigan—into assembling combustion-powered pickups and SUVs instead of EVs.

There is a civil and criminal doctrine of who initiated and kept on escalating the confrontation is the guilty party. There is no duty whatsoever for law enforcement to retreat IN COMPLETE SAFETY from a confrontation when it involves enforcing federal law, lethal force can even be used when lethal force is being used (cars are lethal force by federal statute actually) against an officer.

Karen Deathwheels (so stealing that) and her partner initiated and escalated the confrontation all the way to her death. Officer involved was doing a 360 inspection of the vehicle and Karen Videotaper was purposefully trying to distract him from his duty while doing so, that meant that the officer was in front of the vehicle (possibly to check for different front and back reg plates mebbe) when Karen Deathwheels started her short felony criminal career.

387 The kid's school took a field trip to "learn about aboriginal issues"?

If I was a teacher I'd to a reenactment of the death of Jean de Brebeuf

"Brebeuf was killed at St. Ignace in Huronia on 16 March 1649.He had been taken captive with Gabriel Lalemant when the Iroquois destroyed the Huron mission village at Saint-Louis. The Iroquois took the priests to the occupied village of Taenhatenteron (also known as St. Ignace), where they subjected the missionaries and native converts to ritual torture before killing them. The Iroquois then cannibalized his body."

That A incited B to do something criminal against C does not excuse B from listening to the deranged asshole. Karen Deathwheels had a choice and she chose poorly by continuing to escalate and rack up crimes to the level of felonius assaults on ICE agents using a lethal weapon (the car).

There is no pussy pass to not obey law enforcement and she though her privilege overrode the law. ICE doesn't play pokemon points.

The hilarious video yesterday of an ICE agent who the POC was trying to pull his weapon from him, then the agent fired a pepperball right in the face of a POC male and seeing him cry afterwards was most satisfactory. FAFO and if it had been a firearm instead of a paintball gun, Mr. POC activist would have been on a slab with Karen Deathwheels.

The mullahs have warned protestors they face the death penalty for their actions. Trump said this earlier today:

"And that doesn't mean boots on the ground, but it means hitting them very, very hard where it hurts.

"We don't want that to happen. There have been cases like this where President Obama totally backed down, but this is something pretty incredible that's happening in Iran. It's an amazing thing to watch."

For decades the left has been maligning cops by saying they will shoot minorities without provocation and they will let white people get away with almost anything. I think a lot of them believe this is exaggeration, but not by much.

435 "Democrats call for rioters to �put your body on the line.� Rioters do that. One eventually gets shot while accelerating an SUV into an ICE agent. Democrats and leftists blame the Trump administration and urge for more direct action against ICE."

It's a dirty rotten evil political purposes op by ultra-Blue mayors and governors.

A. Order the local and state police agencies in your jurisdictions to not support ICE ops by refusing to provide requested trined crownd control personnel and their crowd control equipment (vehicle barricades, tire shredder strips next to and behind vehicle barricades, snipers, etc.). Forcing ICE agents untrained and unequipped for crowd control to do crowd control and split their forces between anti-crowd duty and the assigned immigration enforcement work. Making them thin on the ground.

B. Coordinate with professional agitators to set-up and man large protests, egging-on the useful idiots to confront and interfere with ICE ops as much as possible. Putting cannon fodder out for ICE to arrest and hopefully injure, and shoot.

C. Decry protestor injuries and/or deaths with incendiary language, blaming ICE for not safely dealing with protestors (see A.)

You obviously didn't read it. It's about what's reasonable v excessive force and the standard for determining reasonableness. You asked how the law worked, not how a cop may think - that's moving the goalpost. There is no presumption of lethality for every scene, as you asserted. Such a presumption would permit immediate use of force, up to and including lethal force, on arrival regardless of the actual situation. This would have no place in a republican government or free society.

454 Theory from watching videos of these liberal wacko females...they are all ugly. The trans are all ugly from whatver sex they are born with.

The gay men,however, I have seen some who are handsome and don't know what their problem is.A waste for females.

The lesbos, though, whoo boy, homely. Add a knit hat or purple hair and they have arrived! Never turned a male's head. Never had a wolf whistle or probably a date (another subject as men are now afraid to ask normal looking women to date from what I read).

They become lesbo. Still not happy due to mental illness. So become "activists" of the flavor of the month. Hang out with similar to activate their anger and hatred further.Perhaps activist lesbo orgies. Then this happens.

Also, someday we will see the lesbian widow's film of the ICE Agents and their lesbo activist theater. Someday. Her phone was taken into evidence, no doubt. We will hear their jeers and profanity clearer and what was discussed in their little movie.

Thankful we saw the ICE film today.

May the "widow" not get one cent from the goFundme; and every dime go to this poor kid for good care by his paternal grandfather to prevent him from being trans.

Left wing, White women were finally told to stay in their lane by minorities. They turned to trying to totally dominate White males, but many of the men simply don't want to play.

Even if they pick a cause, they don't want to share it. (It seems that they, more than anyone, are desperate for 15 minutes of individual fame.)

I don't think this bull dyke was in the picture yet. She lost custody to 1st husband for her abuse of some type.

Second husband died in 2023, some say suicide (which would be understandable at this point). Third kid was 4 at the time? At some point she meets current bull dyke and moves to Missouri from CO.

It was said the first day, in a comment, so a rumor, that there had been abuse of #3 kid with cig burns from one of the "mothers."

Which is why I think they moved 3 times since 2023 & his father's death, to avoid CPS. Perhaps to look for comfy activism. Who knows? Well, they did move to Canada in 2024 due to TDS and his election.

Maybe they were raising the poor kid to be trans and that sent them fleeing? It certainly rattled cages of local reddits who have trans kids (for my anthropology study). Have not read this & it is not a rumor, just throwing it out there as to the Canada move.

My theory was that he had the crash, got out of the car, grabbed his head thinking "My head hurts", got dizzy, reached out to try to maintain his balance and transferred hair from his hand onto the roof of his car. Then he collapsed, dead.

Listen to that bitch with the camera…”Bring your lunch.”

You would think after the Olympic boxing issue, where half-men were injuring women (and stealing the gold medals) that women would start to see reality…
To see men stealing all the awards in women’s college and high school sports, injuring girls along the way…
But this has led to a mentality of “women can act tough, no consequences” including with law enforcement.
Real world has consequences.
This is the FAFO stage.

Iran's Supreme Ayatollah: Protesters Are Just Working On Behalf of Donald Trump

Indeed.

lightingcigaretteoffphotoofthemullah.jpg


Caroline Di Russo
@CaroDiRusso

17h

This photo of a young Iranian woman lighting her cigarette with a burning picture of the Ayatollah is next level flex.

It encapsulates the situation perfectly. Powerful and unforgettable.

God bless the citizens of Iran rising up against this oppressive Islamist leftist regime.

This is now a viral trend.

Tousi TV
@TousiTVOfficial

1h

Nearly 24 hours after the internet was completely shut down, images are still emerging from across Iran.

Mosques, Islamic centers, and government buildings were destroyed overnight, including sites in Tehran and cities across the country. Despite claims minimizing the scale, the footage tells a very different story.

This is the aftermath.

Iranians toppled the statue of Quds force commander Suleimani -- the "austere religious scholar" drone-struck by Trump -- and cheered as they did so.

A Persian account said that the IRGC stores munitions in the mosques.

So now the Ayatollah is claiming that the protesters are doing Trump's bidding.

I can support that.


You might think that Iran has no support outside of the Revolutionary Guards. That's not true. Tucker Carlson continues supporting them, and Iran state TV is playing clips of Tucker Carlson, translated into Persian, to rally the radical Islamist faithful.

Open Source Intel
@Osint613

In Iran right now:

* No internet
* No phone calls
* No communication with the outside world

Yet the Islamic regime's main state broadcaster is airing and promoting Tucker Carlson.

This was way too much for my brain to handle.

Worth every dollar Russia and Qatar are paying him.

He must be so proud!

In Tucker Carlson's newsletter yesterday, he blamed the death of the lunatic leftist lesbian on... yes, you guessed it, Israel.

If you're wondering how he connects those dots, easy: He claims that Americans have become inured to the sight of a government killing protesters by Israel's actions in Gaza, and therefore Israel's policy of indiscriminately murdering Mostly Peaceful Protesters has infected us.

He also attacks the right for failing to view the ICE attacker "through a human lens." We're meant to sympathize and grieve for the attempted murderer, and if we don't, we're showing our lack of humanity.

Boy this kind of hypermoralistic, preening, I'm-better-than-you-because-I-have-greater-empathy sure reminds me of the hard left.

Qatarlson is also defending Qatar's injection of $6.6 billion into American universities, asking what's the big deal if an Arab country wants to buy some influence in our schools? At least they're not Jews!

No seriously that's what he says. He says it's no big deal Because AIPAC.

Supposedly there are one million underground Christians now in Iran plus a revival of Zoroastrianism. Some senior mullah's report to HQ had the faithful down to about 25 percent of the population and many mosques are empty because of it. That is one of the reasons that theocracies have fates intertwined with politics instead of a party system. Eventually the bad decisions, looting by the special class, and lack of feedback from the public turns them against the state as a whole. Communism is no different.

108 91 Supposedly there are one million underground Christians now in Iran plus a revival of Zoroastrianism. Some senior mullah's report to HQ had the faithful down to about 25 percent of the population and many mosques are empty because of it. That is one of the reasons that theocracies have fates intertwined with politics instead of a party system. Eventually the bad decisions, looting by the special class, and lack of feedback from the public turns them against the state as a whole. Communism is no different.

They are slaves, and we need to remind them of that.

We can't let Trump intervene in Iran. Every intervention that Trump engages in is just one more step toward running through Cuba/Columbia/Panama, then on to sacking Greenland; all the while, letting Russia essentially do whatever it wants to Ukraine.

185 So I found out that the latest AI run fembots have got something called "Taste" built into them. In other words they behave very much like actual women in picking men. While normally this wouldn't matter too much to most of you, for people like me the fact that they also have built in Tazers matter. I spent much of the Consumer Electronics Show this past week in Vegas twitching on the floor of the exhibition hall; I walked in the hall and immediately got Tazed just for looking. The shouts of "Die scumbag, die." were deafening.

Worse, it turned out I was in the wrong hall, and it was actually the Vegas Hooker's annual convention I had stumbled into.

I am not sure I agree. The world order - that is, the Postwar norm, as modified by the fall of the USSR - failed. It's last gasp was 2020. It's over, and it has been over for a while. The COVID-related excesses were the final spasm, and represents the transition. It was Year Zero.

Trump is the first major player to acknowledge it, and to try to operate accordingly. Whether it works remains to be seen, but he and his team understand it. He isn't tearing down the world order, he is trying to secure our place in the new one.

Some Morons last night were saying this, too, that it was unreported and underestimated how many were fighting against Iran.

Carlson has flipped his toupee. Money? Alien probe? Organic insanity?

I viewed the agitating lesbian through the lens of the ICE agent's camera, thanks, Tucker. She had a sneer on her face when she died. Her "wife/widow" told her to DRIVE and she did obey, on an icy street, into the ICE agent after they clearly told her to get out of her car. Is that how I should view her?

Also through the lens of her two children being with her first husband due to abuse? That lens?

Or the 6yo lesbian raised kid being in a charter school for activist indoctrination in MN? With the rumor he was also abused at some point, as they moved from CO to MO to Canada to MN since 2023 (probably to avoid CPS?) That lens, Carlson?

No, but when you have a system of "racism" that nobody is actually actively perpetuating--but the abstract quality "whiteness", which can be possessed by Asians and, most notably, Larry Elder.

260 The reason that I ultimately rejected James Lindsay's redefinition of "Woke" was that in one elaboration he came close to saying that Christians, as they believe they possess secret knowledge of the world related to Jesus as King, could be called "Woke".

He didn't go so far as to call Christians "woke", and he expressly said he wasn't talking about Christians, but it was simply a band-aid he put over a logical conclusion of his definition of "Woke".

Special pleading "I don't mean Christians." is fine to his intent, but it doesn't work.

This is exactly how Darwinism turned the justification of many forms of totalitarianism. Darwin said that we *must* be doing ourselves harm by "allowing our worst members" to live and reproduce--any expert in animal husbandry could *see* that.

He countered with some hand-waving about the "noblest part of our nature", totally oblivious to how that banding together means the deal can be negotiated later. All it takes is for some skepticism about the "noblest part of our nature" and whether the bargain to do *obvious* damage is really worth it.

Stipulative balances really aren't anything. Because unless it's solid, it can be renegotiated.

Someone with authority in the military is going to have to step forward and assert control.

The first two kids are with husband #1 due to her abuse.

Suicide in 2023 is the rumor for #2. But that's when he died. She then took the kid from CO to Missouri, where the "wife" lived (I guess). It is her SUV. After Trump was elected they took the kid to Canada for a year and recently came to live in an uber liberal section of Minneapolis. Put the kid in an indoctrination charter school.

In 2yrs the kid moved a lot. To avoid CPS is my best guess as there is also a rumor he was abused by one of them with cig burns.

DataRepublican recently posted a fascinating essay, far too detailed and insightful for me to even summarize, but a rough thumbnail is that current world leaders *like* systems that are "legible" and definable. Doesn't matter if they're evil or tyrannical; it just matters that they play their roll and don't upset the status quo too much. Iran and Venezuela fit that; Europeans and other Davos types were fine with them, as long as they continued to play their assigned rolls.

They are terrified and horrified of Trump because he is a Disruptor - he doesn't care a bit about this old system, he is going after what he sees as evil and ripe for a fall. And in doing that, he is destabilizing the entire world system and upsetting all kinds of relationships and dependencies that they all thought they could count on forever.

Trump has unbalanced their world, and the old system is flying apart under the stress.

Long history there. Fascinating read, too. It goes way back to WWI, Brit and later our involvement. See the 1953 coup, and ownward.

The Shah launched the "White Revolution" in the '60s to bring Iran out of the middle ages into the 20th Century. That pissed off the mullahs. Khomeini emerged from that. Then he had problems with commies.

That is a pretty stupid take on Lindsey's part. There is no "secret knowledge" in Christianity. Have faith, or not, that Jesus Christ is the Word Made Flesh and the Second Person of the Trinity -- but it's not secret.

Now, the Gnostics believed in secret knowledge, but the Catholic Church has labeled Gnosticism a heresy for almost 2000 years.

Heh. Assad found out that Vlad demanded part of his stolen stash as payment for his VRBO stay in Russia. Vlad is probably going to demand a fair chunk of the Ayatollah's generational wealth fund in order to let them stay there.

So Vlad gains bucks but loses Iran in that particular deal as that will infuriate the Iranians in a new regime.

“The propagators of this dogma tried to prove their theory correct.”

“In the 1960s, the colleagues of Ansel Keys tried to do the end-all study to prove saturated fat caused our health problems.”

“The low-fat group had higher rates of coronary heart disease and heart attacks.”

“The opposite of what they expected.”

“They suppressed the data for 16 years.”

“When you avoid fat, you end up with ultra-processed carbohydrates and sugar.”

“We created a generation of children with low protein, high carbohydrates, sugar addiction, burdened with ultra-processed foods.”

“Those days are over. Are telling people the truth about food.”

346 Marxist blame corruption on the "for-self" factor of free economies. Where it's no shame to be out to increase your wealth, your standing, and your sphere of influence.

However, then they create Marxist-based governments, where people still have to be in power and those people in power recompense themselves for their relative "contribution" to the system.

There's no system of law by which Beria should have been able to extort sex from the wives of men he had incarcerated, or men he incarcerated because he wanted to extort their wives for sex.

It didn't benefit the USSR per se, it just allowed him a more desirable selection of sex partners.

Yes, but a non-Christian can know something about "Christianity" and doctrines and beliefs. But a Christian knows that about the world. And thus Christianity is a belief that we have a selected insight into the entirety of the world.

It's not secret knowledge like that. But again, Lindsay did not restrict it to cult knowledge. He expanded it to people who feel they really know how the world is. To be a Christian really means that the world is groaning for the revelation of the Sons of God, and to train yourself to see it.

If you're a non-Christian, you might well know that Christians believe that "Jesus is on the throne". But when you are a Christian you believe that some part of reality is Jesus on his throne, and the world awaits his Return. Those forces are in play.

I got the impression from Pahlavi that he was a johnny-come-lately who's trying to come in at the last minute and set himself up as the next Persian strongman.

I hope I'm wrong.

Because he's in a unique position to actually BE that national savior, to be the cultural figurehead that the Persian people can look up to who isn't after personal power, who just wants to be the moral and cultural leader, leaving the true day to day power to a leader chosen by the people.

True in official agnostics but the principle is bigger than that. Con men find fairly intelligent people to be the easy marks because a stupid person will admit if they don't understand something and a extremely smart person often knows the limits of knowledge. The midwits, however, can take a bunch of facts, put it in a blender and reach the conclusion that the con man leads them to.

In part, that is the reason for just asking questions--it insinuates the questioner has some knowledge of things that they are not fully disclosing ( a reason for the question), then the pattern seeking behavior in the midwit intellect is ignited.

Sprinkle some facts in the subsequent questions and elicited responses from the interviewee, and suddenly the viewer has figured out puzzle, felt it came to them by their own intellect, and is oblivious to be manipulated into the result.

US Marines Seize Another False-Flag Ship of the "Dark Fleet"

Trump announced that the planned "second wave" of attacks on Venezuela have been cancelled, as the narcoterrorist state is releasing political prisoners in an attempt to seek peace.

President Trump on Friday said he canceled an "expected second Wave of Attacks" on Venezuela, less than a week after U.S. strikes in Caracas resulted in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

"Venezuela is releasing large numbers of political prisoners as a sign of 'Seeking Peace,'" Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. "This is a very important and smart gesture. The U.S.A. and Venezuela are working well together, especially as it pertains to rebuilding, in a much bigger, better, and more modern form, their oil and gas infrastructure."

"Because of this cooperation, I have cancelled the previously expected second Wave of Attacks, which looks like it will not be needed, however, all ships will stay in place for safety and security purposes," the president continued. "At least 100 Billion Dollars will be invested by BIG OIL, all of whom I will be meeting with today at The White House."

He previously said during a press conference on Saturday that a second attack would be "much larger" but likely no longer "necessary," citing the success of the initial attack.

It might also be that Trump's blockade of Venezuela might be enough to do the trick.


The WSJ:

The U.S. Coast Guard boarded a fifth oil tanker early Friday morning and continued to eye other vessels trying to evade the U.S. blockade on sanctioned tankers traveling to and from Venezuela, according to U.S. officials.

The tanker targeted Friday was the Olina, said the officials and Vanguard, a shipping security and tracking company. The ship, previously named the Minerva M, was sanctioned by the U.S. for its role in transporting Russian oil. The move is likely to inflame tensions between Washington and Moscow days after the U.S. seized a ship that claimed Russian protection and was being escorted by the Russian Navy.

The ship has an East Timor flag, and the last time it transmitted its position was in mid-November near the coast of Venezuela, according to Marine Traffic, a global ship-tracking service, which added that it was sailing under a false flag.

Ed Morrissey explains Trump's plan:

In the short run, this does put pressure on Delcy Rodriguez, who wants to run the Maduro regime without Maduro himself, who will spend much of the rest of his life as a guest of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. She needs the revenue from illicit oil sales just as much as Maduro did, and possibly more, given her less-stable situation at the top of the regime. Trump wants the regime gone, but doesn't necessarily want to put boots on the ground to accomplish it. Better to starve the regime and let the hyenas tear each other apart, but hopefully before Venezuelans pay the prices for that kind of collapse for too long.

The "dark fleet" also puts money in the hands of Putin and the Mullahs of Iran.

And delivers oil to Red China.

Venezuela is in the middle of the Iran-Red China-Russia trade system, and it's not just oil. They move people, goods, materials, etc. through Venezuela, too. Venezuela is not itself a huge participant (other than shipping oil out, mostly to the Orient), but it is an important hub.

Plus, the "Dark Fleet" vessels seized will likely become US-flagged property, adding to our non-combat naval assets or merchant marine.

41 Incidentally, there is another indirect aspect of stopping the circumvention of sanctions by Venezuela, Iran, and Russia.

Iran, who supported the various hell raisers in Yemen (Houthis etc.) are currently in a fight to keep their own heads above water, and have turned away from funding discord in Yemen. As a result, there is an actual effort right now to achieve a peace agreement with even the insurgent south in that country. A leader of the south was supposed to show up in Saudi Arabia for these optimistic negotiations, and instead he stowed aboard a small ship and flew to Somalia and then parts unknown.

In short, the real trouble makers in that country are leaving and have lost financing because Iran is in such dire straights (directly related to stopping these dark fleet crude transporters for Iran's refinery operations).

43 Moves like this always get framed as enforcement or deterrence, but they also show how geopolitics often plays out through symbolic actions as much as concrete outcomes. Seizing another tanker may send a message, but it rarely resolves the underlying issues driving these standoffs.

MAGA made america godzilla again….Taking what it wants, destroying all others, to the surprise of no one. Still think Venezuela isn't about oil?

Lol who thinks this when Trump literally came out and said it was about oil?

So the GOP Can add piracy on open sea to their list of crimes. its only going to make the rest of the world run harder towards solar and alternative energy. Enough already w/ the dumb oil wars

So what is the justification for selling the oil? Where is the court order authorizing this seizure? We are just using the military to seize cargo to enrich Trump personally and his cronies.

He's not going to try diplomacy anymore.

This is just another aspect of diplomacy honestly. Biden was happy with the status quo of wasting US dollars and getting Ukes and Russians killed.

Trump wants to end the war so he's finding new and interesting ways to pressure Vlad to make a peace agreement.

51 I believe Trump is continuing on with his plan of seizing the ships, selling the oil at market rates to China, and then send thr money to Venezuela in return for cooperation and to keep their economy running.

The Chinese were buying a lot of Venezuelan oil at discount because of the sanctions. Now they are going to pay full price for the same oil while their influence in Venezuela is slowly choked off along with Iran and Russia.

That seems to be what Trump is trying to accomplish here.

Maybe. I am not sure if Trump or Rubio much care about the regime. Stop playing footsie with China and Iran, stop shipping drugs and arms and gangsters into the United States, stop back-stopping other hostile regimes (like Cuba), make restitution for the property you stole.

In other words, "fall into line." So long as that happens, the details of the regime or who runs it is irrelevant.

Nope. There are clear international law here ironically. There is a long chain of requirements how vessels are supposed to be flagged--ship's registries, etc. Since Russia invaded Ukraine, there have been international sanctions on its export of oil. Same as Iran and Venezuela. We did not impose these sanctions, ironically international bodies did and that means any vessel carrying such contraband may be stopped, searched, and seized if contraband is present by any nation's military force.

Same as us blowing up druggie boats in international waters. They are regarded the same as pirates and smugglers in international law because they are conspirators in criminal actions and refusing to take the flag of the nation that might give them protection.

These laws of the sea date way back and was part of the reason that the US and Britain went to war in 1812.

Russia is going to end up settling the Ukraine war because it simply is not going to be worth the cost in blood and treasure. Russia's finances do not work out when they are denied access to blocked funds, their oil sales due to sanctions are below the sustainable rate, and the cash burn for the war and welfare payments will require external debt (or its assets frozen) in about one year. 45-50 Dollars per barrel is not enough money for them to operate long term nor even keep up maintenance on existing oil wells in Siberia and other places.

China trying to pull shit on oil is likely to draw back a bloody stump regarding oil to Japan. Japan has a very competent navy and modern equipment. Plus China is even more vulnerable to oil shipments being stopped.

Iran and Russia are where China gets most of its oil from.

130 Conan O’Brien explained during an appearance at the Oxford Union in the United Kingdom:

Some comics go the route of “I’m going to just say “F Trump” all the time’… that’s their comedy. And I think well now, a little bit, you’re being co-opted because you’re so angry.

You’ve been lulled. It’s like a siren leading you into the rocks. You’ve been lulled into just saying ‘F Trump. F Trump. F Trump. Screw this guy.’

And I think you’ve now put down your best weapon, which is being funny, and you’ve exchanged it for anger.

That any person would say, ‘Well, things are too serious now. I don’t need to be funny.’ And I think, well, if you’re a comedian, you always need to be funny.

This comment above is correct from what I have seen.
They also need permission from the country where it is flagged before they can board. The US (Marco?) is using our power to get those countries to agree to let us board.

Switching the flag to Russia is a ploy, and it doesn't work since there is a procedure to do that so US is legit in boarding, checking documentation, and seizing.

199 Russia is going to end up settling the Ukraine war because it simply is not going to be worth the cost in blood and treasure. Russia's finances do not work out when they are denied access to blocked funds, their oil sales due to sanctions are below the sustainable rate, and the cash burn for the war and welfare payments will require external debt (or its assets frozen) in about one year. 45-50 Dollars per barrel is not enough money for them to operate long term nor even keep up maintenance on existing oil wells in Siberia and other places.

Gee its almost as if the president and his advisors developed a multipronged strategy to put pressure on Russia to end the war, while also addressing venezuela, china and cuba. Huh. Maybe something is going to happen after all. Maybe he is not just a bunch of stupid tweets. Maybe, just maybe he will actually try to do something when everyone else just throws up their hands and say we tried.

Minnesota has spent years building an infrastructure of ICE watch patrols, NGO backed rapid response teams, and politically wired nonprofits that can flip from ordinary life to street mobilization in minutes.

He was circling a running car. The car went to move and he just stood there. He was boxing her in. I was more concerned for her wife that wasn’t even in her car yet.

They'll give him the full Rittenhouse. I'm sure they'll give him a job at Fox and he'll become the new Dan Bongino. They just love ppl who kill women and children

And they literally told her “get out of here." I’m just saying, this dude has been hit by 2 cars recently, maybe he’s a fucking moron

Seems like he's releasing the footage because the moment he leaned into the vehicle while pulling his weapon out, the camera movement makes it look like she made contact with him, rather than other way around. His cellphone clearly shows her making a hard right to avoid him.

this is a good thing. from his angle it was directly visible that she was turning her wheels to get away. it shows a clear timeline: he films her backing up, then turning AWAY FROM HIM and **then** he pulls out his gun.

This is a big problem right now -- The Russians evading sanctions, the Chinese and their vulture fishing fleets (mentioned above -- they are a big problem off South America. They sit outside 200 mile limit, then turn off transponders at night and go inside to fish.)

They run a while, then turn off transponders. That is OK, but it puts them at risk since if they are not visible to satellites who would know if they sank or why? I think we should Immanentize that risk. Sink a few and the nonsense will stop. We need a fleet of sniper subs to end the dark fleet.

Reports had the agent that shot had been dragged and injured by another asshole trying to escape ICE previous to the MN deployment.

One of the reasons, I think he shot through the windshield rather than moving first was that his fellow officer was in the same position that he was in previously where the driver would not comply and was dragging the ICE officer at the window along with the vehicle.

You can see the officers sliding on the road ice and it gets very easy to slip and fall under moving car wheels in that condition.

I just figured out why the Minnesota ICE death is bothering me so much.

This liberal woman was willing to take on federal agents, to disrupt ICE operations, in order to protect criminal Somalis.

Obviously, she probably didn't imagine she would be killed. But surely, she must have known that, at the very least, she could be arrested.

She has three kids. So she was willing to be separated from her kids to protect criminal Somalis.

Speaking as a mother, this is insanity. This is not rational thinking.

What it is, instead, is the result of liberal brainrot that convinces progressive women they have more of a duty to nurture and protect poor, brown (criminal!) strangers than their own country, and hell, even their own children.

Chuck Norris lives in Texas is why.

Leftists use emo thinking rather than logic so nothing they say or do actually makes logical sense. It is all about oppressor, oppressed or some other bullshit. Also sexism because frankly if it was a white man getting shot by ICE, no one would much care. But White lesbo AWFL had Karen and Pokemon privileges not to be arrested or hindered in her attempts to run over officers if needed to escape.

From the recent video with audio, I also wonder if in fact those plates were taken or stolen from another vehicle. The outside lesbo filming was trying to defend having those plates on the car and then distract the officer with insults about being fat, etc. Strange interlude so maybe there was a crime being covered up simply from the officer viewing those license plates.

Russia is mortgaging its future to China. Bad move.

From the article:
Economically and politically, Russia’s relationship with China is simultaneously deeply asymmetrical and mutually beneficial. While Moscow has not become Beijing’s vassal—at least not to the extent that it would attack NATO purely to distract the Alliance from a war for Taiwan—Russia is certainly the junior partner in the “no limits” partnership. China has served as a lifeline for Russia, while Russia has supplied China with cheap energy and raw materials.

On one hand, China has easily overtaken the EU to become Russia’s largest trading partner. On the other hand, Russia accounts for just 3 percent of China’s exports and 5 percent of China’s imports as of 2024.

Sooner or later, China is going to want its land back - the land taken by Russia during the century of humiliation.

We have some folks post stuff from an incoherent position of isolationism, pacifism and a willingness to allow hostile nations do whatever they want: all while claiming to be "America First (tm)."

Look I get it, Shrub II was a huge disappointment, and he should have just had the U.S. military break all of the Taliban's and Saddam's toys and leave - telling them, "Don't make us come back; we won't be so nice next time." After years of expending blood and treasure, we have d!ck all to show for it.

BUT, Pres. Trump isn't following the failed policies of Bush, Obama, and Biden.

No, demanded bodycams...and the Lefties are mad that the shooting ICE officer didn't have one, and had to drop his phone to shoot (to hide the evidence of it being unnecessary, you see)

federal judge in Chicago, U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis, ordered federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to wear body cameras during enforcement activities and all interactions with the public.

Helen Andrews: Somalis Have Been Scamming the Government Since They Got Here

It's their culture.

And their culture is piracy.


When unverified rumors first circulated that Rep. Ilhan Omar had once been married to her own brother, some liberals were scandalized that Republicans had the nerve to mention the rumor at all. You don't accuse someone of something like that without solid proof, as one friend said to me.

But it was all a matter of context. The same sentence that sounded bizarre and depraved to American ears--she married her own brother?--sounded banal to anyone familiar with the Somali diaspora, where pretending to be someone's mother, wife, or sister is a common way of obtaining legal residency for them. A 2008 State Department study of African refugees (many of them Somali) seeking family reunification in the United States found that 80 percent of applications included at least one fraudulent family member. The program was then suspended for four years until a DNA testing requirement could be added.

...

The type of fraud alleged in the [Nick Shirley] video matched the fraud described in an August 2018 memo by a Minnesota Department of Human Services investigator, which claimed that "the overall fraud rate in this program [CCAP] is at least 50 percent." DHS stopped payments to fifteen daycares for "demonstrated intentional overbilling" on the scale of "an average of 23.9 children per day, per center."

Keep that in mind when they say "We found three kids there." Okay, how many kids were they bilking the government for?

These centers did serve children, just not as many as they claimed. "It is not unusual to see attendance records claim X number of children arrived at the center between 8:00 am and 11:00 am when the video surveillance shows only a fraction of that number," the memo states.

Here's an additional excerpt she posted to Twitter:

daycarefraudsomali.jpg

A blackpilled commenter said "What is the gop going to do?," suggesting the answer is "nothing."

Greg Foreman compiles some clips of Scott Bessent and others talking about this piracy.

Some of the highlights:

1) Bessent will now require anyone attempting to send money overseas to check a box asserting that they are not on public assistance. If they're on welfare, then they can't send money overseas, because they're obviously fraudsters. People on welfare cannot afford to send pirate booty back to their pirate nation -- not unless they're double- and triple dipping.

Now, of course they can check that box even if they are on welfare -- but now they're committing an easy-to-prove crime.

2) In areas in which fraud is rampant, Bessent is lowering the Suspicious Activity Threshhold from $10,000 to $3,000. It's not a crime to send money above those amounts, but Treasury and the IRS will be scrutinizing these transactions. Again, this applies to specific areas where fraud is rampant.

3) Bessent says that up to 10% of all government spending may be fraudulent, which he says works out to 1-2% of the total national Gross Domestic Product -- everything we produce, everything we make -- being stolen from us.

4) He's also sending squads of IRS criminal investigators to open up investigations into four broad areas of fraud.

5) An official says that Minnesota's DHS -- I think that's Housing Services -- was required to fill out forms certifying that they had scrutinized grant applications and done due diligence to determine they are not fraudulent. But the workers in the DHS did not bother filling out these forms. When the forms were demanded, they began fabricating them and back-dating them to make it appear that they were doing their jobs, rather than just sending out American taxpayer dollars to pirates.

Below: Scanning a spending bill, Joni Ernst discovered a suspicious $1 million earmark for a Somali "charity." Guess who it had been inserted by? That's right, brother-fucker Ilhan Omar.

She stripped the earmark out and hopefully contacted the IRS and DOJ to let them know they should investigate the matter.

25 "Bessent will now require anyone attempting to send money overseas to check a box asserting that they are not on public assistance. If they're on welfare, then they can't send money overseas, because they're obviously fraudsters."

This is an excellent idea.
Although, they will probably figure out a way to funnel the money to someone not on Welfare to send it out of the country.

26 Somalis don't usually wire the money tho.

they just physically bring major amounts of dollars back overseas. the TSA apparently got a cut because they just ... let them do this.

they're sneaky and will do whatever. Bessent has the right idea but needs to really keep an eye on these people.

ugh they all need to GO BACK

27 Just to clarify, the somalis are not the brains behind this, just have a look at their average IQ. This was set up by the same party that insisted on bringing them into the country, legally or illegally.

The system was set up to defraud the taxpayers, and kick back a hefty percentage to the party in order to fund candidates and get out the vote efforts. The money is also funneled to other democrat candidates in other states.

The reason Walz was picked as VP candidate was because he could access huge amounts of illegal money in a short time.

They were allowed immigrate to the US for the exact reasons we are seeing. They are a reliable voting block for the left in exchange for payment, aka fraud. It doesn't cost the fraud enablers in our government a cent and they get guaranteed votes.

That's why leftists are fighting so hard to keep this fraud from being exposed. They are at least complicit in the fraud and more than likely benefiting financially themselves in addition to almost guaranteed electoral victory.

I think the Dems are going to go kinetic with their flying monkeys. The amount of money at stake and their liberty is now on the line so I think the Dems will go for broke sooner than later.

At a minimum, Bessent argues that the take was between 300-600 billion in fraud. Musk, who probably take a broader view estimates 1 trillion to 1.5 trillion of fraud, waste, and abuse.

And this stolen money runs the urban shitholes and fraud centers in every state while the jobs, taxpayers, and industry flee from the urban areas.

Our entire urban economic system relies on welfare clients and voter fraud, a bit of tourism including medical services, and raking off vast amounts of money to government types and their families as kickbacks, drug lord protection payments, stolen taxpayer money, bribery.

No wonder our cities are shitholes, they used the Flynn method in Boston as refined by Coleman in Detroit to drive out and destroy honest businesses and taxpaying citizen neighborhoods.

I think almost everyone in the big cities is getting some share of the loot stolen.

113 A lot of people are missing the forest through the trees. In the end, this isn’t about fraud, it’s about power.

Democrats plan is to flood cities with third-world people, especially tight knot clan groups like the Somalians. They put them on the voters rolls and use taxpayer funds as payment for their votes. In then end, they were successful in taking over the entire state of Minnesota.

In NY, Mamdani leveraged the foreign born population to take over NYC. NY State will be next to fall. Hochul the Donkey is already promising huge taxpayer giveaways to the foreign born population for their vote. That’s in addition to all the fraud that’s about to be uncovered.

The force multiplier for this subversion are purposely weak electoral processes which allow rampant fraud to push these extremists over the top. We’ve seen it with the vote harvesting in Minnesota, and NY has equally lax policies.

BTW, I don’t see election security anywhere on Congress’s agenda.

114 The left won the argument years ago that the government should take money from working people to provide for "those in need".

But the need has gotten rather vague. So expect to hear that it is racist to stop people on welfare from sending money overseas even though, by definition, if they can send money overseas they don't need money from the government to live.

Posted by: Octochicken
=====
Fincen and databases are a very powerful tool and once employed in an area, it can now cross reference medicaid and snap benefits with the person sending money abroad. They can use cutouts but that becomes pretty easy to indicate when they cross check IRS payroll and FISA withholdings--you don't have a job and are sending 3k abroad, then suspicious transaction flagged, do it again, cops come to see you.

Ultimately that means a reversion to the old Islamic courier system but that means transferring large amounts of cash by couriers which makes it easy to intercept.

And the initial asshole trying to send fraudulent welfare benefits abroad gets deported for lying on the form.

The system is a Somali (and other assorted asshole) removal system. That is why DOGE was being resisted so much is because the feds had the data all along to link up the fraud machine culprits, they were just willfully blind by putting all that information in silos. Bessent being acting IRS commissioner makes it easier.

When times are good, convince everyone of the need for a "social safety net" to make a "strong country" by using already built up wealth and the hearts and general desire of humans to be good when it's easy (ie with a vote).

Step 2. Open the country up to every single scum and slime that exists and all their friends and hand all the wealth to and through them, destroying the entire concept of both a "safety net" AND a "strong country" while QOL goes down for everyone you stole from and up for anyone you choose.

Essentially give all the wealth away and siphon off a large cut. Use said money to develop criminal enterprises, weaken your stated enemies, and enrich yourselves. By the time anyone figures out what happened it'll be too shitfuck late and you'll be on the beach, earning 20%.

The system collapses because without the fed money, these blue states have methodically destroyed their own state economies. Aka Rentier states because the income streams and economy are from federal funds.

Those foreigners will not fight without getting paid, if they don't get paid, they might terrorize the blue state but that is a very different thing to fighting the federal government. Even oligarchs like Bill Gates, Reid Hoffman, etc. do not have the money to keep these fraud machines running for long.

Federal money is the key--no fed money, fraud machine starts to misfire and break down--the voter harvesters are not paid, the vote fraud workers aren't paid, etc.

You see this end state in failing countries abroad, when the grift is gone and the magic Pez fraud machine no longer works, and the place has to experience austerity (aka real world of productivity instead of parasitism).

176 This guy is going to pop up in the news in the not too distant future. Mohamed Said Duale. He's arguably the richest man in Somalia (Billionaire)....and he made his fortune via a money transfer business.

I was a bit annoyed that none of these media accounts (even on the right) make any effort to identify the primary banking systems used by the Somalis in Minneapolis. The answer is Wells Fargo (due to that bank having a significant number of Somalis working in the local branches there).

The big money transfer operation used in Minneapolis is Dahabshiil Money Transfer (which is owned by the guy I mentioned above, Mohamed Said Duale). I'd guess that guy is likely participating in the various fraud schemes found in Minneapolis, and despite the average IQ of a Somali, it only takes one guy with a brain to set it up and upgrade. You'll find 3 major branches of Dahabshiil bank in Minneapolis.

187 Unrelated, but hilarious, news report:

‘It’s surreal’: US sanctions lock International Criminal Court judge out of daily life. Canadian judge Kimberly Prost is unable to use credit cards or access everyday services in what she calls an attack on the independence of the judiciary.

This summer Kimberly Prost, a Canadian judge at the International Criminal Court (ICC), arrived at her home in The Hague and, as was her habit, called out “Alexa”.

There was silence. The voice-activated assistant did not respond. “Alexa was dead. She wouldn’t talk to me,” Prost recalled.

Prost had been added to the United States’ sanctions list, because in 2020 she ruled to authorise an investigation into possible atrocities in Afghanistan, including by US troops. Amazon, obliged to implement the sanctions as a US company, had cancelled her account.

The US has sanctioned six ICC judges this year, along with the court’s chief prosecutor and two deputy prosecutors.

“The purpose is clear. They have said, basically, we’re imposing these sanctions because of decisions you’ve taken in your role as a judge. So effectively, they are interfering directly with the independence of a judge,” Prost said.

Strong odds that she was on the welfare rolls before her "professional disability era" started. Many states have actual government offices designed to help people commit disability fraud. They're often called "navigators" but what they are in reality is fraud enablers.

Disability is federal. Every welfare case the state can help claim disability exits the state's books and enters the FedGov's. The states have tremendous incentive to enable disability fraud, and it is almost never punished - and when it is, the individual is punished, not the state agency that guided the individual through the system.

The easiest way to get disability benefits is to be on state-level welfare first.

Sort of.

*IF* the bank robber happens to work for - or better yet, own - the bank. "The best way to rob a bank is to own one."

That's a more apt comparison to what is going on. The "bank robbers" are a network of tellers and loan officers (bureaucrats) handing bank low-interest loans to their friends (the NGOs) without any due diligence or verification or expectation of repayment, who then use it to start fake businesses and in exchange they kick money back to the bank president and his buddies (the politicians and high-level administrators) in the form of phony purchases (campaign contributions and business gifts). When the bank eventually fails because of the rotten fraud everywhere, the FDIC (FedGov) bails it out with a few executives changing positions to save face.

242 I think she over-sold the point, but there's no doubt a scam run by blue-eyed blonde vikings with names like Hrothgar and Bjarke would have been harder to pull off, at least to massive extent the Somalis did.

I use "black" loosely here because I don't think Somalis are "black" as we usually use that term. They are some mutated version of something that crawled out of the ocean and rotted on the beach.

254 It is demonstrable evidence that they were aware that they could not do what they did but did it anyway. It's about finding and prosecuting people who're doing bad things.

Which is exactly where, historically, all of everyone's efforts to curtail bad behavior by passing laws has failed.

So. Putting the checkbox on so people have to admit in writing that they are knowingly doing something illegal - great.

The government now has to follow through one punishing them for that - i.e. enforce the laws against the bad behavior.

That's the "remains to be seen" part.

258 Exactly. You have to not only ramp up and escalate, but you need to punish the domestic terrorists directly and indirectly. Anytime an ICE agent is struck? $2000 bonus. Stuck and injured? $5000 bonus. Make it public and immediate. Have the agents thank the protesters for the bonuses. Sure, long-term it's not sustainable, and could lead to agents deliberately provoking incidents, but in the short-term, it would be amazing. Boost officer morale AND put the agitators in a difficult dilemma.

The Russians and former Soviet crowd are bad, but mostly organized. The South Americans focus on benefits and low risk crimes. I lived in one city and it seemed whenever there was a fire, the owner of the building was an Arab -- it was uncanny how unlucky they all were, but thank god they had lots of insurance.

Not sure if he chickened out for the 2016 election or wanted to position us differently vs the EU, or what. But the OTHER big fuckup was failing on gun control.

Given 10 years of watching the EU buckle under invaders, 12 years of "fundamental change", and 10 years of TDS, when push comes to shove a lot of non lefties are ready to flip that switch to the other position.

1. They are not disciplined thinkers, and they only cite principles when convenient.

In other words, they are for local control, when it's their control.

With the masks off policies in some locations, and/or just the hassle they face, some ICE officers stop wearing them. Therefore, don't you think there are lists, pictures of specific ICE, Customs and Border Officers floating around within some less than well intentioned groups?

Some are obsessed by Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino and just about anyone operating within one of his enforcement crews. (That might include the Officer in the January 7th shooting.)

This level of criminality needs to be explained in wallet and pocketbook terms. Bessent came close today by stating a GDP percentage of fraudulent activity. Not good enough. Rich people must come down to everyday comparisons like $9B of fraud would have paid the average power bill of X number of American households, or, $9B of fraud would have paid the average student loan balance of X number of taxpayers, or $9B would pay for the average grocery bill for X number of Americans.

That's funny. Because we do 80-90% of what "NATO" does. They're really going to send their men to confront the bulk of the force that NATO tends to put on the ground?!

And where is this in the NATO agreement?

If one country starts enforcing laws on the books more harshly than another faction wants, NATO is to treat it like an invasion of the Asia alliance?

That would actually create a condition that NATO should deploy to fight as one of their key countries is being invaded.

It just illustrates the lack of sense and the lawlessness.

I'm not sure that would work, because felony murder applies when one of your group kills someone. In this case, the person who got killed was in the group. Not sure FM applies.

But if nothing else, this cunt was openly hostile and actively encouraged her "wife" to run over a cop. And I think that's exactly what she did. There was some talk yesterday about whether the driver just panicked and took off. But does she looked panicked in the vid? No. She looks like she knows what she is doing.

This was attempted murder, with the wife as an active accomplice. Arrest and prosecute.

They are all located in Minneapolis. BUT, the way they operate is to set up licensed Transfer Agents in select states across the country.

The largest Somali immigrant populations in the US are in Minnesota, Maine, Ohio, Washington, Texas, and California. Each of these states have money transfer agents of Dahabshill located primarily in the areas inhabited by Somali immigrants.

Let's hope the new "DOJ Fraud specialist" does a little digging into Dahabshil.

339 $3000 is a lot to you.

It's nothing to a single daycare stealing $2 million a year.

And one of 7 owned by the same individuals.

It's like this, have you ever thought about how you'd not get caught, how hard it would be, if you stole $1 million?
How would you launder it?
Just conceptually, most people don't understand how much that is.

They have to send $50k and $100k payments every month. Using a whole pack of welfare mules, that's doable.
Now they'll need 500, 1000 to evade the $3k limit.
While keeping all of them quiet.
And not stealing from them.

Yeah but leftists don't actually give a shit about reality, only their narratives. The video though is enough to persuade a lot of the normies though that mebbe it was simply a tragedy that the woman did not back off and only enrages the right.

The few that were defenders of that terrorist are probably going to have to take a bench even if they mutter under their breath that the officer shoulda moved or not shot or something.

Most police involved shootings (or self defense even) occur in an unseen context and suddenly everything is over in a few seconds. In this case, about 20-30. The shots were within 3 seconds of each other from the first to last.

373 And just to make everything a little better, I found out Wed that I need a hip replacement. My hip lasted 50 years since I got run over by a truck while I was riding a bicycle, but the cartilage is all gone, and it is just bone on bone now, the x-ray looks pretty bad, even to my untrained eye. At least I have my beautiful girl friend to hold my hand... Oh wait, that's a cheap blowup doll, never mind.
Posted by: An Observation sez Trump is my President

For what it's worth, my husband is now one year out from his hip replacement. It was a shockingly quick recovery - he was walking and driving pretty well after five or six weeks. You won't get to 100 percent at that point, or perhaps ever, but you will be free from so much of the pain you have now. You will need help the first couple of weeks for sure, and you need to be diligent with physical therapy and gentle exercise from now on. It's worth it. My prayers with you through this!

Elric, I looked it up yesterday. Federal felony murder DOES include even just a death of a co-conspirator like is common in civilized states. So the 'Husband' as part of the conspiracy to blockade and obstruct federal officers in lawful duties is squarely on the hook for it. Because without the predicate crime of which that smarmy asshole was a part of, then ensuing death of her 'wife' would have not happened.

384 They'll completely gloss over the fact she was REPEATEDLY ordered to get out of the car. She was going to jail. She chose to get killed instead.

When she blocked the road to stop ICE she committed her first crime, but would have likely gotten nothing more then a slap on the wrist - some MN court would have at worst given her a fine.

Then she backed up as the ICE agent was trying to open her door. This is now resisting arrest but even here she is likely out on bail by the evening and will probably end up with a fine or some sort of community service

But as soon as she floored it with an ICE agent it became attempted murder. If she had survived she'd be looking at real time in a federal pen...

Just beating a dead horse here, but even shenanigans like this (fabricating and back-dating missing forms that were required) is fairly easy to find IF IF IF anyone at a supervisory level were doing their job. I personally busted a long-time Federal employee filling out forms he was personally prohibited from touching by simply asking questions to other examiners when I was reviewing "their" work (the prohibited guy had filled out several of those review forms and placed other people's initials on the forms). When I asked simple exam-related questions like "What made you concerned about this particular loan's credit evaluation?" several of the other examiners ratted him out. He was damn near fired (and should have been) a few months later.

Posted by: banana Dream at January 09, 2026 01:35 PM

----------------

National averages aren't very useful because health insurance premiums vary greatly by location and also depend on benefits levels, copays and deductibles, etc. And generally the per employee costs are higher the smaller the company. But yes it's all hella expensive now in large part due to Obamacare mandates.

When it comes to employee group coverage it boils down to how much of that big cost your employer is willing to swallow to attract and retain employees. Your part is what they don't cover. Your best basis of comparison will be similar sized companies in your general location. I don't know if any online tools with this information.

Thanks to MAHA, Several States Just Implemented Bans on Using SNAP Benefits for Junk Food; also, A Friend of the Blog Is Running for Statewide Office in Nevada

SNAP Benefits.png

Week after week, and on issue after issue, the Trump administration has given voters like me occasion to say, “This is what I voted for.” Here is yet another example.

January 1 marked the commencement of several state-level bans on the use of SNAP benefits (“Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program” ) to purchase junk food. This was made possible by actions of the Trump administration, through the US Department of Agriculture, and in coordination with the Make America Healthy Again initiatives of HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy, Jr.

Specifically, the USDA granted individual states the authority to implement waivers to federal regulations, thus allowing state-level determination of food products which may be considered ineligible for federal SNAP benefits. RFK Jr. was recently quoted as saying, “We cannot continue a system that forces taxpayers to fund programs that make people sick, and then pay a second time to treat the illnesses those very programs help create.”

18 states have taken advantage of this opportunity, and the first junk food prohibitions on SNAP benefits were implemented on January 1, 2026. Those states were Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, Utah, and West Virginia.

“Soda, candy cut for many SNAP users starting January 1. What states are affected?” [USA Today – 12/30/2025]

Millions of SNAP recipients are about to face new limitations on what they can use the federal assistance program to buy, including bans on soda, energy drinks and candy, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

"The Trump Administration is leading bold reform to strengthen integrity and restore nutritional value within the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program," the USDA said in a statement about the upcoming changes.

Should the federal government be telling people what food products they can and cannot consume? Of course not. Individuals can spend their own money on whatever they want. But the taxpayers who are funding SNAP have every right to demand that welfare money not be used on junk food.

"Every American who wants to eat a donut ought to be able to eat it or drink a Coke," Kennedy said in early 2025. "But the federal taxpayer should not be paying to poison our children. And we're going to end that."

13 more states will be rolling out various junk food bans on SNAP benefits later this year, including Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Colorado, Florida, Arkansas, Idaho, Hawaii, Missouri, North Dakota, South Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee.

Companies that have come to rely on the taxpayer-subsidized SNAP revenue stream are not happy.

“Big Sugar Ramps Up Lobbying Efforts as SNAP Soda Ban Spreads” [Bloomberg Government – 7/30/2025]

Food and beverage influence groups boosted lobbying efforts as more than a dozen states seek to block federal food aid recipients from using benefits to purchase sugary products.

The American Beverage Association, which lobbies for Coca-Cola Co., PepsiCo Inc., and other non-alcoholic drink makers, spent $1.7 million in the first half of 2025—more than double its outlay during the same period last year.

Grocery chains also lobbied hard to keep revenue from the taxpayer subsidization of junk food rolling in. A report by the National Grocers Association argued that prohibiting SNAP users from purchasing junk food would cost grocers about $1.6 billion initially, and another $759 million going forward. Apparently, a dollar spent on milk instead of soft drinks hits the income statement differently.

Even if I weren’t still upset at PepsiCo and Coca-Cola for their left-wing activism during the great awokening, I would still find it offensive that these prominent corporations are fighting so hard to be on the receiving end of redistributed taxpayer wealth.

Eighteen states placing restrictions on the use of SNAP benefits to purchase junk food is a great start. Many more need to join this health initiative.

Other Stuff I’m Writing About

My latest piece at The American Spectator has been published, with the title, “The War on Labor Expense is Renormalizing Slavery, Just in a 21st Century Form”

If this type of slave labor offends our sensibilities when it occurs in Georgia, why is it acceptable for manufacturing that is outsourced to China to use the same labor system? The acceptance of slave labor anywhere in our supply chain makes the domestic acceptance of slavery possible.

Even the use of foreign children as slave labor is becoming disturbingly common again in the United States. Last summer, a raid on illegal labor at a California marijuana farm resulted in the detention of 10 minors, some as young as 14, all foreign nationals, and some of whom were “unaccompanied.” There are more delicate terms that could be used, but the simple fact is that these children were slaves, living on a marijuana plantation, and being held as chattel by the property supervisor.

This article is not behind a paywall. I’d be honored if you’d give it a read.

A Friend of the Blog (Jeffrey Carter) Is Running for Nevada State Treasurer

Jeffrey Carter.png

Jeffrey Carter, who is a loyal Ace of Spades reader, and who also writes the widely-read and frequently linked “Points and Figures” substack, is running for Nevada State Treasurer.

Jeff and I have become friends over the past few years, and I have come to greatly value his insights. On more than one occasion I have written that Points & Figures is one of the most educational blogs I read. I am also humbled that he has linked and discussed some of my posts over the years.

We became acquainted when Jeff contacted me after I published a piece in 2022 expressing my concern about the WWII Museum in New Orleans going woke, because its new Liberation Pavilion was straying into post-war, civil rights issues. Jeff had served on the board of the WWII Museum and was very respectful of my concerns. He also shared that piece of mine with the then-current members of the museum’s board.

Mr. Carter has a background in commodity trading and venture capital, and as a refugee from Illinois he understands the destruction that Democrats impose when they have unchecked power. He is an unabashed Trump supporter in a circle of people who are often self-muzzled, if not openly hostile to Trump. This is his official announcement: “Jeff Carter for Nevada State Treasurer: Fight Waste & Fraud, Invest Tax Dollars Wisely”

A state Treasurer position can be powerful, with control over how money is deposited and invested. Riley Moore (who I first wrote about back in 2022) used his position as West Virginia State Treasurer to start the state-level pushback against woke money managers when he yanked state investments from Black Rock due its anti-carbon political activism. Jeff is also promising to “ensure the Nevada Treasurer’s office isn’t beholden to investing in ESG or DEI projects, allowing it to focus solely on generating the best ROI.” A Democrat Treasurer would never make that promise.

Although my primary interest in Nevada politics is my concern about California expats colonizing the entire western US and imposing woke-sharia, I am proud to endorse my friend Jeffrey Carter in the Republican primary for Nevada State Treasurer. I have contributed to his campaign at this link.

21 Should the federal government be telling people what food products they can and cannot consume? Of course not. Individuals can spend their own money on whatever they want. But the taxpayers who are funding SNAP have every right to demand that welfare money not be used on junk food.

Yup.

"Public assistance" - if we're to have it - *must* come with strings attached, preferably a lot of them. Staying on "public assistance" should *not* be the goal, getting off of it should be. If being on it is necessary for you but unappealing, you'll be more inclined to take steps to get off of it.

So yes. More strings.

State extension programs have plenty of vids out there on how to cook basic foods with pantry ingredients that are SNAP compliant. Maybe have a mandatory online class you must take connected to getting SNAP benefits? Like the mandatory trainings I have to do at my job.

I knew it was coming because state is run by a bitch and her republican cronies. it's frustrating that people don't understand how the US economy works. This will force people into poverty.

I learned a prepared salad with a sealed utensil inside is SNAP ineligible…but one without is okay. The hoop jumping is meant to confuse, embarrass and shame.

In my 55 years on this planet I have never once been jealous of the items in someone's shopping cart who was paying with food stamps.

I wish everyone who cared about how strangers spend a small amount of grocery money had that same energy for the literal hundreds of billions the Pentagon mysteriously loses every year. I know they never will.

Unpopular opinion: IDGAF that my tax dollars go towards food stamps. Not one fuck. Human beings deserve to be fed. Children, disabled folks, immigrants, elderly, broke college kids, single parents, even unemployed folks. Not a single fuck, feed them all. No one, and I mean NO ONE, should ever have to worry about food. 😤

43 We should return to a biblical method of "SNAP": those in need should be bussed to farmer fields to glean the unharvested bits. And, sure, they can collect bits and pieces of harvested animals. If you don't even want to do that level of work - collecting the food and then cooking it - then, honestly, I don't care if you starve.

As an interim step, the government should return to purchasing staples and handing them out to those currently on SNAP. "Here's your cabbage. Here's your cauliflower. Here's your broccoli. Here's your tripe. Now go feed yourselves."

This notion that it is wrong to prevent SNAP from being used to buy anything that happens to have calories because 'picking on poor people' is horseshit. Probably young folks and then wine and granola moms who want their kids to have the nutritional advantage over folks that need assistance are the only ones who really oppose letting someone buy gallons of soda pop with those bennies.

The pic of her in long, curly hair wearing a strapless dress is, in fact, Saint Lesbo from an earlier time.

The pic of "her" with straight blonde hair and wearing bright, red lipstick is not her, but someone else who attended the same educational institution.

Everyone in legacy media, even the New York Post, are using old pics of Renee where she has long curly hair and looks sane. If they used the newer pics where she shaved her head and has the scary woke eyes and aging face, everyone would just take one look and go "yeah, I'm sad she's dead, but she clearly also has issues."

Yes, I know they choose these pics of their angel martyrs on purpose. But even the Post fell for it!

Waste and fraud pisses me off regardless of department, and War has plenty of it.

Also, *very* nice retarded framing of the issue, too. Caring "about how strangers spend a small amount of grocery money" is amazing. It's not a small amount, in aggregate (and the government deals in aggregates) and even if it were, if I am a taxpayer, it's *my* money. You're damn right I care about it in that case.

I bet this person cares about *her* grocery money. It's just a "small amount," so why does she care? Why, because it's *hers.*

My favorite protein bars are RX Bars (they will not taste like cookies!), second is Perfect Bar.

You can also consider a handful of almonds, or sliced apple drizzled with peanut butter powder mixed with water to make it drizzerable. Let’s rework your breakfast, though.

Stop with the oatmeal package and do actual real oatmeal. You can make overnight oats for time so you cut your sugar even more and increase your portion for the same calories. Ditch the light and fit, and eat whole milk or low fat plain Greek yogurt. Add your fruit, stir in raw honey if you need it a little sweeter. You will stay fuller, longer with the added fat.

141 Very nice.

Where I've seen problems in banning sugary drinks is that it usually includes prohibiting the purchase of juices, juice boxes for children and/or sometimes for the elderly. It can affect school lunches programs. (I think PA may even have round the clock food programs for children of certain families and there's programs such as Meals on Wheels.)
It can even affect where people migrate to. (See Philly's Soda Tax that caused quite a few SNAP users to move into different districts, counties, states where they had easier, more walkable access to grocery stores v. convenience stores at gas stations.)

I have no idea how it works now, but years ago parents or guardians received coupons for milk, orange juice, cheese, some cereals, maybe a few other routine items but nothing for nonfood household supplies, hygiene items, or cleaning products. Sometimes that encourages users to trade or sell off SNAP benefits for cold cash, laundry detergent, diapers, etc. (In other words, it contributes to fraud.)

Also, I'd rather have those trying to stay off of certain street drugs drinking energy drinks than shooting up under the tree on my front lawn.

Why? First off, participation is voluntary; no body is being forced to work for that company. Second, the system is set up as a sort of Dutch auction of your service. If somebody else is willing to take the job sooner for less, you lose that opportunity. If you're willing to take the risk of waiting, you may (or may not) get more later. Assess the market and make your choice.

Posted by: Nova Local at January 09, 2026

WIC is for very specific foods only, and certainly not food a 5 year old could prepare alone. Actually, WIC is a great basis for SNAP - it’s veggies, cheese, peanut butter, milk. 3 meals a day at school must be very regional. Alabama schools near me do not do this. I don’t send my kid to public school so no idea of they offer anything other than lunch.

Posted by: Helena Handbasket at January 09, 2026 11:32 AM (ULPxl)
_______

For grocery stores in poorer neighborhoods (and even in some not-poor neighborhoods), the percentage of their sales through SNAP/EBT is probably over 75%.

There's a Western Beef supermarket in the South Bronx that I occasionally shop in. Of the 100s of people I've seen paying over the years, maybe a dozen didn't use EBT.

Incidentally, despite being in a bad neighborhood, the WB has almost no security, nothing is locked up or hard to reach, and it's quiet clean and well stocked. I always wondered how this was possible, as most stores in bad neighborhoods had everything on lockdown.

Then I found out that WB is owned by a notorious mafia family. The thugs know that if you steal from these guys, the cops ain't gonna find your body.

165 A report by the National Grocers Association argued that prohibiting SNAP users from purchasing junk food would cost grocers about $1.6 billion initially, and another $759 million going forward.

I'm willing to bet that the high cost of junk food is because they were counting on SNAP benefits to cover it and everyone else to pay the normal price.
Posted by: NR Pax



It's not a zero sum game. If they don't buy junk, they'll have to buy good food. It's not like they are stopping eating. Even though some cows should.

And no one is saying they can't buy sugary drinks. We're saying you can't buy them with OUR money.

If I were in charge, SNAP would pay in arrears.

SNAP recipient, by lottery, must either show up with all food receipts that the recipient expects to be reimbursed or if not selected for in-person must use their ObamaPhone™ to photograph the receipt and submit it via app to SNAP for processing.

If I have to show up for jury duty, a SNAP recipient can show up for an in-person receipt evaluation before being paid.

And, sure, they can collect bits and pieces of harvested animals. If you don't even want to do that level of work - collecting the food and then cooking it - then, honestly, I don't care if you starve.

As an interim step, the government should return to purchasing staples and handing them out to those currently on SNAP. "Here's your cabbage. Here's your cauliflower. Here's your broccoli. Here's your tripe. Now go feed yourselves."

207 82 Not sure how true it is but I’ve read that Americans throw out about 1/4 of the food we buy. Either from going past expiration dates, throwing out leftovers, buying too many ingredients for meals and then throwing out what’s not used, etc.

I know at my house we certainly do waste a ton of food.

I will admit same here - mainly throwing out leftovers, but produce going beyond usability is also an issue with us. The problem, which is the first step in solving, is J will go to the store and see things that look and sound interesting, and then I will do that as well. Or a farmers market, specialty store, what have you. Or on the night of our preplanned meal, J will not be feeling it and will order food (at least not burgers, typically Thai or Napalese and he knows very precisely what I will eat and what I won’t). Poke bowls are another thing. Anyway, it’s exactly what Elric noted, I know I live a privileged existence, and not in the way the left has usurped it.

It was a mistake (iirc, it was not policy to shoot to kill), but there was some talk of whether she had a legal right to use lethal force against a fleeing suspect.

225 More anti-government protests erupt in Iran for a 13th day in a row, as the country's supreme leader lashes out at people demonstrating on the streets

Ali Khamenei, who has ultimate power in Iran, dismisses protesters as "a bunch of vandals" trying to "please" US President Donald Trump, who threatened to "hit" Iran "very hard" if government forces kill protesters

Reza Pahlavi, the exiled former crown prince of Iran, asks Trump to be "prepared to intervene" in support of the Iranian people

The protests, which began in Tehran on 28 December, were sparked by the collapse of the Iranian currency - BBC Verify is mapping their spread

So mentioning it here risks boring other people but not so much anyone can employ it against me.

The modern era is an era where privacy is largely an illusion unless you want to go live in the woods, off grid, as a hermit.

Flock cameras and automatic license plate readers plus your cell phone track you everywhere, most big businesses now have face recognizing tech as do big sporting venues, etc. Your bank records and other financial information is on tap for local cops without your say so and that goes for your call records, texts, emails, and posts as well.

And databrokers sell every bit of information that you ever share to get a product warranty, service for cars, etc., the apps on your phone collecting all sorts of info, your browsing history, and that leaves out dataleaks from shitty companies.

245 A gram scale is very useful at tracking calories, and the Nutrition Facts label.

The truth is, humans don’t need a heck of a lot of food to sustain themselves. This number goes down further as we age, or become more sedentary too.

The “2000 calorie” itself RDA is some kind of mythical Unicorn type person who dutifully jogs 5 miles after work every day. At the very least, older sedentary people can get obese on those kind of numbers.

If you keep track of your intake, you’ll soon discover your own personal metabolic rate. “If I eat this much I lose/maintain/gain” It is remarkable what a close run thing this is, and it isn’t very much.

It takes permanent, lifelong changes to the way we approach our “diet”. It is not a temporary thing. I settled into one meal a day because I like large satisfying meals. It works for many. There is no way around calorie restriction, one way or another.

Nobody wants to do that, and of course it shows. Rampant obesity, metabolic syndrome and eventually, full blown Type 2 diabetes. It isn’t too much to ask that those depending on the kindness of strangers for the very fiber of their being stay within the height and weight chart.

Now they don't. One point about buying junk food on EBT. Low income families not on assistance don't have the money for it--so why should EBT families be able to use that money for junk food?

The gist of it is that she had a kid(s) who relied on her. Instead, she opted to leave them wherever they were that day and participate as an agitator at an anti-ICE protest. She was (allegedly) the lead instigator for that event, being filmed by her wife. While in her SUV she could have stopped, opened the door and got out. She chose.... poorly.

There were a lot of points in time where she could have, if she wanted to, stopped what she was doing.

288 The World War II Museum is definitely worth visiting; there is definitely an element of woeness (or was when I went in 2022, and no, I’m not fixing that autocorrect) but it’s also comprehensive with absolutely beautiful exhibits of old hardware.

The American Sector restaurants Bob Hope Lemon pie, and the South Pacific Mai Tai are also worth it.

And it’s in walking distance of most of what you’d be seeing in New Orleans anyway.

I know my share of poor people. The business I work for employs many of them in low-level grunt jobs. One of the business locations is in one of the poorest areas of NYC. So I certainly see a lot of poor people.

"Poor" in this country doesn't mean what people think it means. These poor people have cell phones, many have cars, I'm sure they have big-screen TVs and similar luxurious in their homes, and many are overweight they are eating so much.

My immigrant grandfather -- who was dirt poor growing up on the LES back when that was a war zone -- would think these "poor" people are rich.

Chicago Chief of Police made a public statement on video recently -- yesterday, maybe -- strongly advising people not to use their autos to ram, obstruct, box-in law enforcement vehicles -- ALL law enforcement vehicles including federal. Said doing so makes them susceptible to lawful deadly force in return.

Being Chicago, I was quite surprised.

Dropped into the comments to say exactly this.

THAT is where the actual reform needs to be focused.

Media is simply lying as usual. As the facts trickle in, the woman was NOT panicking, had been trained by leftist organizations to stop ICE enforcement, was undoubtedly involved in radical circles from her school to when she was drifting around the nation, and her lifestyle may very well have been financed by leftist oligarchs to cause trouble.

The left has a drifting population of rioters, ballot harvesters, vote fraud, and registering fake voters,rallies, etc. and that political army in waiting does different things through the election cycles depending on the needs of the Dems. Rental cars, lodging, travel expenses, and so on including stipends from various NGOs acting as passthrough and always being on the public dole.

A lot of this poked up during the riots in St Louis over Michael Brown, the George Floyd incident, and during the election fraud season in 2020.

448 Media is simply lying as usual. As the facts trickle in, the woman was NOT panicking, had been trained by leftist organizations to stop ICE enforcement, was undoubtedly involved in radical circles from her school to when she was drifting around the nation, and her lifestyle may very well have been financed by leftist oligarchs to cause trouble.

A question that I don't see many asking: why did she run? At most she would have gotten a ticket or some bullshit DAT. There was no reason to run, especially since the cops already had the license plate. She was either guilty of something much more serious (before she tried to kill the cop, I mean), or this was all part of a pre-meditated violent plan. Or both.

People, especially narcissistic females, act very strangely around the police. They panic and say and do stupid shit. They also seem to think legal commands from a police officer are optional, and arguable, things to be debated at length. because this is how they get through their normal lives with other authority figures.

45 The slice of urban landscape over on the left has a very Hopper-esque vibe. So does the red brick building and the window frame . . . but at that point any resemblance to Hopper's style disappears.

He and Hopper were contemporaries for a number of years. I wonder if they met, or knew each other socially, and if Hopper's work influenced Evergood's.

158 Not to get all architecturally picky or anything, but the number of courses of bricks between the two windows isn't enough for the height between one floor and another.

Posted by: Pedantic Pete at January 09, 2026 10:04 AM (2Ez/1)

159 I like the way he captured the movement of the birds and even how the bricks are painted. But the windows are dark and the interior feels empty despite the brighter colors in the painting. The birds are the only signs of life against the hard lines of the city. Even the tree branches are dead. What could have been a charming image of a little girl taking delight in the birds' antics has a sense of isolation, perhaps innocent desperation to connect with a living world. And her hands, in contrast to her face, belong to an old woman, not a child. Perhaps this interaction with life is as good as it will ever get for her.

Maybe I need more coffee but the overall sense of the painting is lonely and depressing.

I looked at some of his other works. He seems to be trying to channel, badly, van Gogh but without any of the liveliness.

Posted by: one hour sober

Bowe v. United States addresses the legal challenges of Michael Bowe regarding his conviction under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c) for using a firearm during a crime of violence, focusing on the implications of recent Supreme Court rulings.

Background of the Case
Michael Bowe was charged in 2008 with conspiracy to commit Hobbs Act robbery,
attempted Hobbs Act robbery, and using a firearm during a crime of violence.
He pled guilty in 2009 and received a 288-month sentence, which included a mandatory consecutive 120-month term for the firearm conviction under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c).


Starting in 2016, Bowe sought to challenge his § 924(c) conviction, arguing that changes in Supreme Court precedent, particularly the rulings in Johnson v. United States and United States v. Davis, meant that his underlying crimes no longer qualified as “crimes of violence” that could support the firearm conviction.

Could be …. That Canadia doesn’t simply allow every Tom and Hairy dick to pick up sticks and install themselves in the country? Maybe they could only get a temporary residency permit. Could be.

282 ICE is not the victim
MAGA lies can’t hide the real damage done to people like Renee Nicole Good By Amanda Marcotte

the true courage on display in this country is plenty visible in the video of Good’s killing. Not from the cowardly ICE agents that swarmed her car and shot at her as she appears to be driving away. But from the 37-year-old Good, her wife and the other ordinary citizens in the video who are yelling “shame” and standing up to masked, armed ICE agents in their streets. Like so many of us, Good could have stayed tucked safely away in her house, looking the other way while a bunch of hastily hired wannabe warriors terrorized her neighbors. But while much needs to be learned about what happened, it appears that Good died doing what so many other ordinary Americans have in recent months: standing up to the bullies that Trump unleashed on their communities.

When interfacing with the public, however, ICE and their supporters inevitably come across as whiny babies playing dress-up...Heaven forbid any of these people stub a toe. We’ll never stop hearing about how it was like their entire leg was amputated.

Not buying it. He was born 1901 in NY, NY; died 1973 in Bridgewater, CN, not exactly the orphan train experience.

Lily, who looks more like Luke, feeding sparrows chicken legs. I cannot imagine what social commentary could be attached to the painting. (I suspect he was faking it. I'm awful at painting and pastels but can almost do as well.)

Yup.

Every word in a legal document has meaning. Sometimes that meaning is "I was pumping my fees," but not usually. All of it is meaningful.

"Boilerplate" may be just that, but it also means something and sets up execution.

Compared to whom? The “professionals” and “experts” haven’t exactly been impressive.

Apparently bio dad is dead, and his dad, the kid's bio grandad, might be taking the kid and raising them. If grandpa is at all sane, this might be the best scenario for rhe kid to turn out half decent. I hate to say that. Though they're gonna hate the government and police forever probably.

355 BREAKING: An “AUTONOMOUS ZONE” has been declared by leftists in Minneapolis, and is being referred to as a “NO-GO ZONE” for police
This zone spans for SEVERAL BLOCKS, and residents are BARRED from driving to their homes.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MUST END THIS.
Makeshift barricades using trash and stolen materials are at ALL intersections, and “guards” are present at each.
This looks almost IDENTICAL to CHAZ, or the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” in Seattle in 2020, where the city SURRENDERED a neighborhood to anarchists who made their own “laws.”
CHAZ was famous for failed communism, death, theft, and vandalism, and as you’d imagine, they were commonplace in the zone.
@KevinPosobiec and I went in undercover to take a look. If we had been discovered, we’d have been violently run out. It’s not as “friendly” as it seems.

Posted by: Really?? at January 09, 2026 10:31 AM (kgFPv)

I don't think it's going to work.

While Floyd dies of an over-dose (as the first autopsy report found -- later changed under pressure), the image of Derek Chauvin kneeling on Floyd's back smirking at the camera was pretty powerful for those who didn't know or lied about the circumstances of Floyd's death.

The video of the incident shows that Renee Good pointed her car directly at the ICE officer, and then struck him with the car. Additionally, she had been following ICE around all morning and was blocking the road before she got herself shot.

I was just on the Tube of Ewes and the algorithm thought I would be interested in a CBS News clip -- easily over 75% of the comments were to the effect that Good had put herself in harm's way and the ICE officer was justified in defending himself. This in going to end up being an 80/20 issue with the Democrats supporting the minority position.

The Morning Report — 1/9/26

ICEThatLip.jpg

Good morning kids. In the truly immortal words of Yogi Berra "It's Deja Vu All Over Again."

A suspected member of the notorious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua attempted to run over federal immigration officers in Portland, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

One Border Patrol officer pulled a gun and fired a “defensive shot” at the vehicle. The suspected gang member and his passenger, also suspected of gang ties, sped off.

“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,” Homeland Security said. “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,” the statement continued.
. . . The shooting in Portland comes a day after an ICE agent fatally shot a woman in Minneapolis. The woman had blocked a road with her vehicle. As federal officers exited their vehicles and approached her vehicle, requesting she exit hers, the woman backed up before pulling her car forward. One officer in front of the car then fired a fatal shot at the woman.
The Department of Homeland Security defended the ICE agents’ conduct, calling the incident “an act of domestic terrorism.”
“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 who are facing 1,300% increase in assaults against them and an 8,000% increase in death threats,” the agency said.

First there is a difference between this incident and the one in Minneapolis in that the perps in Portland were actual illegal alien criminals, and knowing they faced prison and/or deportation and incarceration in a Venezuelan prison, which makes American prisons luxury resorts by comparison, naturally they, or at least the driver, had no compunction about slamming on the gas pedal to get the hell away. He and his companion had been hardcore criminal gangsters for many years before they met their end yesterday. The same can hardly be said of the now refrigerated corpse long in a coroner's meat locker somewhere up in Minneapolis. What was her excuse for winning a stupid prize for playing a stupid game? Am I splitting hairs in trying to make a distinction? Maybe, and yet. Hardened desperate criminals are going to do whatever they feel they must in order to escape and evade capture. If they feel they have nothing to lose then of course all bets are off even if it means killing a cop or an innocent bystander. Addendum: It's apparent Antifans and other Democrat approved street thugs must feel they have the political and legal cover to commit acts of political terrorism. We'll know for sure if the ICE agent who iced the terrorist in Minneapolis gets the Derek Chauvin treatment, as I suspect he might.

The dead asshole in Minneapolis somehow developed a mindset wherein her thought processes had become so twisted and her morality so inverted that she thought of these criminals as Jews fleeing the SS and the gas chambers so she took up arms, or in her case an SUV, to join in her mind some sort of equivalent of a Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

Be that as it may, Her attempting to ram an Ice Agent who by the way . . .

The ICE agent who was forced to shoot and kill Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis on Wednesday after she tried to run him over had already survived a harrowing attack last June, when an illegal immigrant dragged him 100 yards during a traffic stop after trapping his arm in the vehicle.

Yeah, big mystery why he pulled his gun and shot to kill. . .

But in any event, it cannot be mere coincidence that we have a veritable plague of miscreants using automobiles, and mostly SUVs to ram ICE agents and police as they attempt to do their duty. As the great Walter Matthau quipped in The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3 regarding how the hijacker knew how to drive a subway train, "You don't pick that up just by watching Sesame Street!"


Same deal with Islamikaze bombers. And now SUV road warriors. Someone is training them.

Radical leftist groups, including one financed with $7.8 million from progressive billionaire George Soros, are behind the anti-ICE protests in Minnesota, The Post has learned.

Indivisible Twin Cities, which describes itself as a grassroots group of volunteers, has led many of the protests against ICE raids in Minnesota, where Renee Nicole Good was shot dead Wednesday after allegedly trying to mow down an ICE  agent with her vehicle.

Indivisible is an offshoot of the Indivisible Project in Washington DC, which bills itself as a movement to defeat the “Trump agenda,” and received $7,850,000 from Soros’ Open Society Foundations between 2018 and 2023, according to public records. The controversial group was also behind recent pro-Venezuela protests and “No Kings” demonstrations against the Trump administration throughout the country last year.

In addition to Indivisible Twin Cities — which does not identify its leaders on its web site — other protest leaders include the Council for American Islamic Relations, an anti-Israel group whose Minnesota chapter’s executive director Jaylani Hussein has rallied against ICE at protests.

“A young observer killed in the line of observing, we believe in a peaceful manner. They are lying, as you hear today. They already shared lies about what took place,” Hussein said, speaking into a megaphone at an anti-ICE demonstration Wednesday.

Good, a sometime poet, has been described by leftist sources as a “legal observer” during the residential ICE action where she died. Good, who moved from Colorado to Minnesota last year, was an anti-ICE “warrior” and a member of “ICE Watch,” a coalition of activists dedicated to disrupting ICE raids in Minneapolis, The Post recently revealed.

Nekima Levy Armstrong, the founder of the Racial Justice Network, has also been a leader of the demonstrations. The Minnesota attorney and civil rights activist is one of the people helping organize the so-called “legal observers” who show up at raids throughout the city to document the federal agents’ activities, according to social media posts.

She also posts information about vigils and demonstrations on her social media accounts. Armstrong played a prominent role during the protests after George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis in May, 2020, according to reports.

When embattled Minnesota governor Tim Walz announced that he would not be seeking re-election amid a sprawling welfare fraud in the state earlier this week, Armstrong criticized his move as a “retreat.”


If Walz is retreating, he must be following the Wilton Parmenter definition. Retreat and reverse into victory!

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) has called up the state’s National Guard troops to assist local law enforcement as clashes between U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and violent left-wing protestors continue in Minneapolis. According to the governor’s office and a report by CNN, the National Guard will “help protect critical infrastructure and maintain public safety.”“Governor Tim Walz has authorized the Minnesota National Guard to be staged and ready to support local and state law enforcement in protecting critical infrastructure and maintaining public safety following a shooting involving federal immigration enforcement agents in south Minneapolis,” a press release issued on January 8 by Gov. Walz’s office states.The statement continues: “Executive Order 26-01 provides the ability for the Minnesota National Guard to protect critical infrastructure and to assist local law enforcement with additional tasks as requested. The state is providing additional law enforcement resources in a coordinated response to aid local law enforcement. The Minnesota State Patrol has mobilized 85 members of its Mobile Response Team to support law enforcement efforts in the Twin Cities.”


Brilliant move, Timmy. As CBD and I discussed on the latest episode of the podcast, linked here and in the sidebar as well as available on the popular outlets listed at the bottom of the post, the last time a state called out the Guard to essentially challenge the United States Army was 165 years ago in South Carolina. And how did that work out for them and for America as a whole?

All President Trump has to do is federalize the Guard, and it's game, set and match. In any case it is as plain as day for anyone with eyes to see that the Democrat/Left is indeed fomenting insurrection and attempting to touch off a Civil War or at the very least to create such a crisis, as they did with the George Floyd riots (what the hell is it with Minneapolis?!) so as to use it as a smokescreen to gain the upper hand in the coming midterms or at the very least derail the last half of President Trump's second term which so far, in both foreign and domestic policies is on track to be a raging success.

Regardless of what the Fed may or may not do, the economy is recovering and in fact set to take off just in time for next November, the capture of Maduro is wildly popular and the Iranian mullahocracy which never would have come about were it not for Jimmy Carter lanting the seed and Clinton, Kerry, Obama doing all they could to keep them in power, may finally at long last be about to crumble.

Yes, all the Democrats can do is all they've ever done — sow division and create a never ending string of crises to fan the flames of discontent for political cover/advantage.

The Insurrection Act should indeed be invoked and whoever and whatever is behind the political terrorism must be smashed to bits. You best believe at the heart of it all is the Democrat National Committee.

Have a great weekend!

    ++++
    This is fine.

    Lil' Marco's, however, was a barn-burner.
    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.

    162 Vance blasted the media to their faces. His manner however was folksy, as in "Look, what's going on with you guys?" The questions to him were uniformly idiotic and reeking of narrative maintenance and repair. Some fat, female black journalist in the front remonstrated Vance on the responsibility of Trump to "bring down the temperature." Another fool asked him if implicating the Left as a support system for the riots meant that all Leftists should be shot.

    Vance could have made further mincemeat of these vicious clowns but restrained himself. Not my choice or style, but he was effective.

    It's up to them. We need to address our interests, not sacrifice ourselves tilting at their windmills.

    Taking out Maduro and disrupting that part of the weapons-and-drugs trade in our hemisphere, disrupting the China/Russia/Iran triangular trade and disrupting the Oriental oil trade was in our interests, though we'll have to see how it plays out (too soon to tell if successful). What Venezuela chooses to do next internally is up to them.

    Taking our Iran's atomic enrichment infrastructure and ending the Israel-Iran war was in our interests. What Iran chooses to do next internally is up to them.

    228 Whig made some very good posts yesterday explaining why any legal action will be removed to Federal Court.

    Maybe, although with the state of the courts I have doubts.

    One simple way to put it is that State Courts have no jurisdiction over a federal official lawfully performing his job.

    Minnesota's argument will be that the shooting was not "a federal official lawfully performing his job".

    I hope whig is right but I won't be at all surprised if the courts rule otherwise.

The idea was simple — to confuse (bystanders. 7 male participants all boarded a subway car at different stops, decked up in winter gear from head to toe with one catch — they had no pants on. In a hidden camera video from the scene, the other passengers look confused at first and then broke into laughter."

    "This annual event has been organized by Improv Everywhere for nearly two decades now, with thousands of participants worldwide. The coordinators are in about 60 cities, and people in more than 25 countries participate annually."

    She had a black dog with her and asked police if she could retrieve a leash from the Pilot. There are several pictures of her sitting on the ice sobbing. She even mentioned the six year old who was in school somewhere.


    No doubt today she's a very depressed leftist lesbian who should be on a suicide watch.

    I will not be a candidate for the currently vacant HC and GM positions with the Miami Dolphins.

    Of course, she would have followed that with, "But I'm a white woman so nothing bad will happen."

    The ICE agent who killed the woman was in the military and was prior law enforcement. Its not incompetence. Its malice. They're killing us for sport.

    Trump is trying to provoke an excuse to issue the insurrection act but he would've gotten so much less pushback if he did it without killing people

    The armed forces deciding they're not going to listen to their chain of command is a slim chance. But if an alliance of blue states' Senate / house / local commanding officers did that then, it would be strongest response to this insanity we could muster

    State agencies in sane jurisdictions should treat Feds as members of an ongoing criminal enterprise MS13. They’re more dangerous to innocent civilians and just as bad for jurisdictional security.

    332 Sarah Clarke, Mayor Jacob Frey’s wife, worked for Hylden Advocacy & Law. Hylden Advocacy & Law provided legal and lobbying representation to Feeding Our Future ($250 million food aid fraud). Hylden is also listed as a paid lobbyist on a Somali Museum founded by Osman Ali (museum received $4.5 million months after the owner plead guilty to fraud)

    Clarke left Hylden’s firm in January when the investigation took off. Clarke’s exit was abrupt and without explanation, leaving many unanswered questions...

    At least eight people named in the indictment donated $1,000, the maximum allowable contribution, to Frey’s 2021 mayoral campaign.

    Three of Mayor Frey’s appointees were federally indicted.

    Abdi Nur Salah, a former senior policy aide to then-Council Member Abdi Warsame, moved up the City Hall ranks into the role of Frey’s senior policy aide in 2018

    Sharmarke Issa was appointed by Frey to chair the housing authority in 2019 and reappointed in 2021.

    Abdikadir Ainanshe Mohamud was appointed by Frey to the newly created Minneapolis Community Safety Workgroup.

    348 Woman Killed In Minneapolis Was "ICE Watch" Left-Wing Activist Trained To Resist Fed Agents: Report

    Good and her wife Rebecca, 40, who were raising the child together and sent the boy to Southside Family Charter School, a K-5 academy opened in 1972 which has from its inception been "unabashedly dedicated to social justice education," according to co-founder Susie Oppenheim.

    It was through her involvement in the school community that Good became involved in "ICE Watch" — a loose coalition of activists dedicated to disrupting ICE raids in the sanctuary city.

    "From my understanding, she was involved in social justice ... we are a tight-knit community and a lot of parents are [activists]," former Southside gym teacher Rashad Rich, who resigned from the school last month, told The Post.

    Bessent announced late yesterday Treasury will issue a rule or something prohibiting persons receiving public assistance from transferring funds out of the US. New fraud mechanisms will be established today, so welfare recipients can transfer money to third parties in the US to then be sent overseas.

    Yes, Dave was definitely the guy who had been researching and documenting this for years, God bless him! Isn't it wonderful that he connected with a young youtube dude, with the skills/following to expose this in a way that could go viral? Old school diligence + Gen Z social media moxie.

    1) The information already coming out about her will make her unsavory to many. She wasn't just some soccer mom innocently trapped in an ICE raid.

    Plus, all the video - from several vantage-points - supports the ICE officer. Renee Good definitely moved her car to point it directly at the ICE officer, and then struck him with her car hard enough to partially bend him over the hood and push him forward. Whether she did this intentionally or in a blind panic doesn't matter. Lethal force is appropriate during situations in which the LEO fears death or serious physical harm.

    391 Good morning, all, and thanks, J.J.

    Agree someone is funding and training them - perhaps to do the opposite of what has been placed in writing by the city & state. See, 'Safety in public spaces.' Know what to do to keep safe when you are in a large crowd, Minneapolis, MN 55421, Last updated on June 11, 2025, which includes Protect Yourself When Driving.

    In part, "Be safe. Minneapolis is a vibrant city. One with many public events for you to attend. It's important to be safe when in a crowd.

    You many find yourself in the middle of:
    A large crowd
    A mass assembly
    A protest or march
    Civil unrest

    Take action
    See peaceful and lawful gathering tips
    Learn what to do if you are outside
    Learn what to do if you are inside"

    Again, the article/document was released June 2025 when ICE specifically targeted the Minneapolis area, conducting effective targeted enforcement operations. And, June 17, 2025, an ICE officer was seriously injured when dragged by a suspect's vehicle during an attempted arrest in a suburb of Minneapolis.

    That officer was identified as Jonathan Ross, the same reportedly involved in the shooting, Jan. 7th.

    Had Officer Ross been a protest target?

    Walz, Frey, etc. should be up to their eyeballs in legal problems for seemingly encouraging "Good Trouble" from their public podiums. (There's extensive history which extended well beyond state boundaries, i.e.) Wikipedia, 'List of vehicle-ramming incidents during George Floyd protests'

    It begins, "During the George Floyd protests that started in Minneapolis–Saint Paul after the murder of George Floyd, several incidents occurred in which vehicles were driven into protestors. According to Ari Weil, a terrorism researcher, there were 104 incidents of vehicles driving into protests between May 27 and September 27, 2020, with two fatalities in that time period."

    393 In a press conference Friday, Vance said federal agents have "absolute immunity," which legal experts say is not true. Author: Lydia Morrell, Published: January 9, 2026

    In part, "The FBI took over the shooting investigation, cutting the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) off from evidence, witnesses and the case. State and city leaders are calling for the BCA to be included in the investigation, as Gov. Tim Walz stated that Minnesotans will have trouble trusting federal authorities.

    "It feels very difficult that we will get a fair outcome. And I say that because people in positions of power have already passed judgment from the president, vice president to Kristi Noem, who have told you things that are verifiably inaccurate," Walz said Thursday."

    396 Scoop: White House contacted Secret Service about MTG, sources say

    The relationship between President Trump and former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene grew so poisonous that the White House told the Secret Service that Greene may have tipped off Code Pink protesters about his surprise visit last fall to a D.C. restaurant she recommended, two sources on Trump's team tell Axios. That episode — which involved a chaotic confrontation between anti-war activists and Trump — embarrassed the president and intensified concerns in the White House about his safety, a year after he narrowly escaped an assassination attempt.

    "When you purchase cards, you get points.. if you have enough points you can get dollars off other cards. It doesn't have to be for cards. It can be for anything." She helped with this and I saved $5.00 off my grocery order. She didn't have to take the time to do that. It was very nice of her. Thanks, Lord, for the kind woman who helped me.!"

    They're probably terrified of the knock-on effect.

    If "Iran is not a Muslim country" takes hold, then the "___ is not a Muslim country" formula is suddenly in play for a whole bunch of other countries.

    I can't think of very many countries ever who have violently rebelled against a foreign religion once it took hold. No one's ever fought seriously, en masse as a popular revolt, to cast off Hinduism or Buddhism or Christianity once they were established in a place as the dominant popular religion.

    That could just be because I just started my first coffee of the day, though.

    109 Morning Horde. Our month long odyssey of our dogs health issues continue. I could write a book but here's the condensed version. Lethargic and diagnosed as stomach upset from food change, nope it's pancreatitis. While being treated for that she loses the use of her back legs and our vet takes xrays and she has a mass in her chest. Off to a specialty vet for a ct scan, two benign masses that are removed and she's treated for myasthenia gravis and her legs work again. One week of our dog being normal and the lethargy returns. Her liver values are elevated and she's back to the specialty vet for treatment. Now on day two of treatment. Please send up a prayer for her and for us. I think that we will be asked to make a decision very soon on if we want her put down.

    125 Much like the campaigns to block streets and confront drivers in support of BLM and then Hamas, the goal was to create chaos, generate violent confrontations, and force police intervention. The issue, as David Horowitz frequently reminded us, was not the issue, it was the revolution. BLM, Hamas or illegal aliens are vectors for radicalizing liberals into extremism through the familiar mechanisms of protest, violence, death and then terrorism and tyranny.

    126 There is no more "coverage." That's because there is no more media. We're shocked because we don't see the story on what used to be our primary information channels because we haven't changed our thinking.
    Nobody has cable anymore. Nobody watches TV news anymore.
    The media now is Nick Shirley and Nick Sortor and Andy Ngo and Joe Rogan and a thousand others.
    Russian Collusion was the last coffin nail.
    Nobody trusts them.
    And since technology has brought alternatives, nobody watches them.
    So let's not be "shocked by the lack of coverage."
    Frankly I'm shocked they're still in business.

    Thursday Overnight Open Thread - January 8, 2026 [Doof]

    Howdy Hordelings! Welcome to the Thursday night ONT. You know what to do.

    Mr. Hockey's Bridge - Beauty, Eh!

    Gorgeous Bridge for Walking and Biking Between US and Canada Set to Open in 2026 – Allows Drivers, Too

    doof-Gordie-Howe-Bridge.jpg

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    172 Army FM 21-76 survival manual has a couple interesting field expedients for someone truly lost in the sticks. Not really practical because ordinarily what they discovered in practice, you either get picked up or rescued right away, or captured right away. Living off the land, escape and evasion for months at a time, it just doesn’t happen. Not very often.

    Anyway, “Maggot Therapy” is an actual thing, because fly larvae or maggots only eat diseased tissue. If you have a wound that is infected, the idea is to expose it to flies for a day. Cover the wound, and let the maggots do their thing. Clean the wound out when bright red blood appears. Fun, eh?

    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.

    194 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.

    200 And this announcement is going to hit the Derp State hard,
    "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.

    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 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.

    337 We mentioned last thread that Cuba is suddenly making conciliatory noises to the US for the first time in over 60 years.

    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.

    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).

    371 Speaking of ignition, I'd get regular briefings on Soviet ICBM goings-on out at the place that runs all foreign policy (for every country), of course was behind every assassination since 1700, and probably even controls the Earth's rotation.

    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.

    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.

    Send the miscreants to Antarctica instead. Let them eat penguins. Or... ICE!!!

    463 400 ARiK, yep those booms were pretty expensive (payloads).

    Always think of Gordon Cooper waiting out launch holds atop his Mercury rocket, falling asleep. Talk about calm.

    Those rockets made nice spectacular explosions when something went wrong.

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:

    531 I dunno, Debby. I wonder too, if my own sister views me as some kind of monster because I voted for Trump.

    Scratch that-- I'm sure she *does*-- as do some aunts & uncles (and their children) for the same single, simple reason.

    Never mind that we're "family". That no longer matters, apparently.

    My immediate family is to the right of attila the hun. My brother is worse than me. My father's whole family is because many lived under mussolini. They don't have any use for democrats. my father's sister found out a more distant relative who came here in the 60's voted for obama, and she told her to move back back to italy if you're gonna be that stupid. lol

    532 JQ, the left has succeeded in ripping apart families, it was a foremost goal for them. I just spent Christmas with my family and New Year's with my friends, and not once did we discuss politics. We joked with one another and enjoyed sweet memories and we all just got along. I can't ask for anything better than that.

    I wish the same for everybody, if it is politics that are driving us all apart well then leave them out of family gatherings by decree.

    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...

    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.

    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.

    I think that is why Florida back out on hiring him. Man whore coach. NIL is simply a way for big donors to play NFL owner now on the cheap. Can't be doing too much for cohesion on the teams either when the elite players screw utility and line players in jumping teams, wanting to take the bench to avoid getting hurt, and so on while raking in a lot more bucks from donors.

    “Just one day after the horrific murder in Minneapolis, I received reports that two people in my district were shot by federal immigration officials this afternoon in East Portland. Both individuals are alive, but we do not know the extent of their injuries.

    “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. We must allow our local law enforcement to do its work. There must be a comprehensive investigation without Trump’s interference.”

    214 MULTNOMAH COUNTY, Ore. (MCSO) – Multnomah County Sheriff Nicole Morrisey O’Donnell issued the following statement in response to the shooting in Portland’s Hazelwood neighborhood.

    “The use of deadly force by law enforcement weighs heavily on all of us who serve.
    I am monitoring the situation that occurred this afternoon in Southeast Portland. The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office was not involved in the shooting, nor were we on scene when it happened.

    My thoughts are with those who were injured during this shooting, their families, and anyone who witnessed it.

    Moments like this can create even greater fear and I recognize the weight of emotion our country and now our community is carrying right now.

    294 There was a snackbar at Disney World across the lane from Pirates of the Caribbean. They had some public restrooms and in that same hall at the end was an unmarked door into a stairwell going down. Of course I went down it and a couple of flights down exited into a white tiled corridor with people in white coats and white hardhats riding white golf carts back and forth.


    It was like a scene out of the original West World.

    302 Street preacher was praying against demons when BOOM the skateboard cracked the nose of a bad man.

    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.


    ...

    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.

    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.

    #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.

    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.

    Pick a thermodynamic cycle:

    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.

    141 Rubio's letter about this ends very, very well:

    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.

    212 I also promise you this - most of these organizations have provisions saying, in effect, that the organizations must have "equal representation" for all members. Meaning they were packed with developing world types, educated in the U.S.

    The U.S. would get one vote on these organizations, while 130 countries would get equal say, we picked up the bill but had no power over the organization.

    That is the problem. It's why so many of these organizations were useless - they were basically the same as Somali day cares, except for developing world bureaucrats.

    A federal judge COULD act with responsibility and justice. Its pretty rare these days, though.

    Honestly, despite the expense, I think the best way to jerk district court judges' chains is to require them to hear all cases in panels of three that deal with declaring state or federal actions and laws unconstitutional (this was actually the law from the 1890's to the 1970's). No more Capn Hero and it buggers these leftist clerks that inevitably assign leftist district court judges for their favored results.

    At 2:24 p.m., officers received information that a man who had been shot was calling and requesting help in the area of Northeast 146th Avenue and East Burnside. 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. Their conditions are unknown. Officers have determined the two people were injured in the shooting involving federal agents.

    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.

Mostly local planes and enthusiasts, but somebody knew somebody and got Barksdale to send over an A-10 to entertain the locals - that pilot was awesome, he was the star of the show. What I remember most was him doing a big loop - forested area btw - and on the bottom of the loop, not far from the runway, he dropped below the tree line and out of sight! For a moment we’re all wondering is this it? Are we gonna see a big boom? And then he pops back above the trees, full throttle, skimming the tree tops as he headed back towards us. Awesome display.

    🚨 STARLINK ACTIVATED OVER IRAN AMID INTERNET BLACKOUT

    Amid an almost complete nationwide internet shutdown in Iran, Elon Musk quietly enabled free Starlink access across the country.

    Musk reportedly committed to keeping the network active to prevent Iranian authorities from cutting connectivity.

    Supposedly thousands of StarLink units have been smuggled into Iran by the Mossad. And those StarLink Minis are pretty small.

    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.

    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.

    454 I will say though, this was back a ways, the nicest air bases I have ever been to were Canadian. At Comox AB, we had made to order omelets with fresh seafood as fillers in the enlisted mess.

    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.

    457 I am sure my friends on the Atlantic Coast of FL have hair on fire over this by President Trump. They have a friend (whom we met and he was quite odd) from the UK who used to work for UNESCO.

    He was quite odd because he wore white socks with sandals to the beach when he came to FL. Probably other odd stuff but that's all I remember.

    Somehow I never ghosted them during the Barky or Biden Errors, but they seem to be doing a good job of it during Trump II. You find out who your true friends are these days, and I do love them, but am flying under the radar til the next time I am there.

    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.

    8 "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."

    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.

    "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.

    157 It may be a nutty idea, but it is wonderful watching the European panties get all bunched up like they are confronting a second Genghis Kahn.

    "Oh deary! Mean yellow man is gonna steal my land" and there is ***NOTHING*** they can do about it. That alone should give them pause.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    254 At this point in history, what purpose does it serve for the US to be in NATO anyway? It was assembled for the purposes of mutual defense against the Soviet Union and its satellite nations behind the Iron Curtain/in the Eastern Bloc. The Soviet Union collapsed decades ago, and was arguably largely ineffectual before then. There is no Iron Curtain anymore, and no Eastern Bloc anymore. So other than allowing NATO countries to free-ride on US military protection, just how compelling a purpose does it serve in the modern era taking into account the sea changes in geopolitics?

    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.

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.

    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

    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.

    The bullet that actually hit and killed her came through the windshield. From straight on as she struck the agent. 2 is through the mirror. Front to back. So still from ahead of the vehicle. The third shot is fired downward as he was launched by being hit while attempting to dodge.

    51 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.
    ++++
    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.

    Hopefully the feds are tracking trantifa, the John Brown gun club and their like. I think an ambush/assassination attempt on ICE agents is their next ploy. They are salivating for PDT to invoke the Insurrection Act. Pray for the brave men and women in ICE.

    115 So looking at lefty forums there are two talking points they have going right now

    1) The agent stepped in from of her car so she had a right to drive through him which is quite a hot take from the BLM/highway protest people

    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.

    121 Riot training 101 - do not, ever, let anyone involved in the riot grab you or anything you are holding. Because they will drag you into the mob and likely beat you to death.

    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.

    181 When a DC cop beat Rosanne Boyland to death with her baton on J6 the argument was she was a threat because she bumped into the police cordon. The face there was a crowd and she was being pushed into the police didn't matter...well then.

    Just being in that situation meant her death was a FAFO moment apparently. But for some reason this is different (tm)

    They don't give one shit that Rosanne died. She was a non person to them. Same with the other victim and with those suffering and dying in DC and other fed prisons.

    I no longer give one shit when their various criminal assholes get knocked off for doing felonies either by cops or by killing each other.

    183 An 18-year-old Wisconsin man accused of killing his parents and stealing their money to fund a plan to assassinate President Trump pleaded guilty to two homicide counts in a deal with prosecutors Thursday, locking himself into two life prison sentences.

    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.

    184 Also the left is building an entire mythology around this. They were UNMARKED CARS, and the ICE agents were plainclothes, scary men with guns! She barely bumped one of them while trying to escape! And besides, ICE cannot arrest citizens and its not legal to order someone out of their car because they aren't law enforcemet!

    its amusing and sad at the same time.

    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?

    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.

    222 What does Insurrection Act do to habeas corpus?

    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.

    242 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.
    ==
    This is an inescapable conclusion. I have accepted it as inevitable. But for divine intervention, the shit is going to bit the fan. The left has its tit in the wringer and tried in various and sundry ways to get it out. Impeachments, covid, stolen election, open borders. Assassination. It hasnt worked. Now their crimes, real basic mafia horseshit is exposed, and the whole stinking pile will be uncovered. They couldnt kill him. They cant steal this election. They have only one choice. Well two, but leftists never surrender. They are going hot and they are doing it soon.

    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)

    294 Precedent: Vehicle as Dangerous Weapon
    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.

    Another part of this here because I see this a lot, we cannot demand that people in the moment, being attacked by criminals, will make split second decisions that are perfectly media friendly.

    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

    317 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.
    Posted by: sven

    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.

    319 237 I think the cop had legal basis to shoot but really shouldn't have, she wasn't a threat to him any more. I get it, seconds to respond, adrenaline, fear for your life, and reasonable lethal attempt. And you have seconds or less to respond to someone trying to hit you with a car, who knows what she'd do next. But still, restraint would have served us all better.
    Posted by: Christopher R Taylor

    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.”

    Fools often pay the price for their foolishness. This time it was unfortunately fatal. She'd been attempting to block them on several different occasions.

    354 At that point after the first shot, she was a fleeing felon and lethal force could be employed.

    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.

    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.

    Unexpectedly, US Trade Deficit Plummets to Lowest Level Since Global Depression Year 2009, Shattering "Expert" "Expectations"

    Exports rose a solid 2.6% while imports fell 3.2%.

    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.

    41 Make no mistake, trade deficits represent the outflow of wealth from the country. We send them gold, and they send us tumu consumable crap.

    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.)

    I could not argue back since I was not going to drop to his level, and he was my parent's favorite and I had grown up getting beaten up by him, and then if I cried out my father would show up with the belt to finish the job. (My father just wanted peace and quiet.)

    He was an econ grad and according to him, I was a fucking moron for thinking tariffs are good and deficits are bad.

    103 Why do we care about trade deficit instead of federal debt, employment and CPI? if we just tanked the US dollar we could bring the trade deficit to a surplus

    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.

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.

    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.

    Employment is people out of work because some slave factory environmental disaster site in China can produce the same stuff cheaper.

    CPI is not just cost of a product, but how affordable it is and if the company where you work is owned by the Chinese (using that cash we sent them for crap) and all the high value add steps are done in China, you job is shit and you can't afford anything.

    154 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.

    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.

    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.

    Posted by: Opinion fact

    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.

    291 A big part of the problem is that in the 70s and 80s, the Dems wanted targeted tariffs to protect specific companies or industries. That was tried in Europe and those companies (steel, auto, consumer electronics, ...) became sclerotic and overly unionized and eventually just failed.

    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.

    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.

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.

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.

    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.

    This is what you can do with 1.2 billion idiots who worship Mao. It seems much of the country is within bamboo pole distance of a loyal peasant.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    This woman, who worked for the George Soros funded, Antifa defense communist law firm the National Lawyers Guild, attempted to disrupt lawful ICE operations with her vehicle.

    The Democrats are now calling this political vigilantism "legal observer" work.

    shewasalegalobserver.jpg

    Tim Walz wants a Civil War -- and we shouldn't be shy about giving it to him.


    TheJamesMadison speculated -- or passed on the rumor -- that Walz dropped out of the race because he was served with an official DOJ "targeting letter" informing him that he was a now an official law enforcement target in the exploding fraud scandal. Walz may be looking to launch a civil war just to stay out of jail.

    The people crying over the justifiable shooting of this paid Antifa whore were giddy over the execution of Ashley Babbit for Unauthorized Parading.

    This guy has lost his damn mind.

    I've said it before, but:

    If Walz knows he's cooked from the Somali corruption probe, if he knows that the DOJ is targeting him in a criminal probe and there's no way he gets out of it, he has every incentive to try and turn his personal culpability into a cause celebre by hiding it behind leading the left in the Second Civil War.

    42 TheJamesMadison speculated -- or passed on the rumor -- that Walz dropped out of the race because he was served with an official DOJ "targeting letter" informing him that he was a now an official law enforcement target in the exploding fraud scandal. Walz may be looking to launch a civil war just to stay out of jail.

    That's what would make our society better!

    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.

    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.

    107 I can find no name for the "wife" who was filming yesterday and later sitting in the snow with their dog.

    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.

    164 So Good was acting as a self-appointed "Legal Observer" or as I heard elsewhere an "ICE Informer." Apparently that somehow, according to her left wing enablers, now carries a quasi legal status for what effectively was her acting as a vigilante obstructionist of a legal law enforcement action. This is just smoke.

    That she ended up resisting arrest with the ICE agents was a foreseeable outcome of her earlier actions.

    That she ended up getting shot when she drove directly at one of the ICE agents was a case of playing stupid games, win stupid prizes.

    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.

    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.

    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. ..."

    Heh. Husqvarna made quite a few firearms, starting with Swedish defense contracts in WWII I think. Husqvarna receivers were made for the Swedish Governments for their (unofficially designated 193 series of short rifles instead of the Swedish Mauser carbines (1894) and long rifles (1896). They have better metallurgy and many were turned into superb sniper rifles.

    356 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.

    One day, while bicycling near the football stadium on the way to work, I approach a car that's pulled over off the road and a large black dude is outside of the car slapping around a blonde white girl.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    480 The best video I've seen of this is the zoomed-in and slowed-down video taken from the rear of the woman's SUV. I had to watch it several times before I realized that the ICE officer that ended up firing his sidearm was NOT standing in front of her car. He was initially standing off at the passenger side front corner of her SUV.

    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.

    486 Walz pretty much said today that any Fed investigation into yesterday's shoting will be a whitewash to exonerate the officer who fired. Only some highly respected non-biased Minn State criminal investigation agency should do an investigation so Minnesotans can truly learn the facts.

    Yeah, he's not sowing division or distrust of the Federal Government, nope not at all. Now the Left has laid down he marker that only states can validly investigate incidents involving Federal LEO. While Blue States and Cities continue to incite violence against Fed LEO, hoping for more incidents only they can supposedly impartially investigate.

They're honestly denying their lying eyes, and pretending it was the guy on the driver's side door who people are saying she tried to hit, as opposed to the officer in front of her car. Most media outlets are only using the video from half a block away, on the 2nd floor of a building, where the car is completely blocked by trees, as evidence she was just an innocent woman, refusing to show the video filmed like 5 feet away and on the driver's side where you see everything.

    They so want more riots and violence, and if they do I hope Trump doesn't act like a pussy like last time, and instead just squished it immediately and starts rounding up all the funders.

    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.


    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.

    But we know that "regulators" were purposely not doing any regulating at all. They were not verifying enrollment records.

    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.

    47 An over-looked component of this daycare scam is just looking at the "daycares" themselves. They're all dingy, abandoned warehouses in industrial areas.

    Hell, in that vid the day after, when all the fake parents were dropping off fake children for PR, it literally looks like they're in a filthy alleyway outside of some rando delipidated building.

    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.

    I wonder if there are criminal penalties for "regulators" deliberately and fraudulently overlooking regulatory requirements.

    That is, if the regulations require a attendance certification, and that regulation was not followed nor was even a part of an investigation or certification verification, that would make the inspection fraudulent.

    64 I'm not sure how you put the toothpaste back in the tube now? There's just way, way too much outright *theft* going on for the left to just hope 30 days from now they can go on the campaign trail with stupid slogans like "Americans are struggling with an affordability crisis." That's just not gonna play, no matter what miracle candidate they dredge up to utter the slogans. Its just going to be one day after another after another of people who borrow Nick's techniques and find their new instances of fraud right there in their own back yards!

    This is the same news mainstream media that asked local government officials in Springfield Ohio if there was a Haitian problem. The same government officials who created the Haitian problem and were profiting from it.

    It's like asking Al Capone if there's a bootlegging problem in Chicago.

    How many people still get their news from places like CBS, and how many of them are under 65?

    66 Republicans should be ashamed of the Senators that just voted with Democrats in attempting to take away our Powers to fight and defend the United States of America. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, Josh Hawley, and Todd Young should never be elected to office again. This Vote greatly hampers American Self Defense and National Security, impeding the President’s Authority as Commander in Chief. In any event, and despite their “stupidity,” the War Powers Act is Unconstitutional, totally violating Article II of the Constitution, as all Presidents, and their Departments of Justice, have determined before me. Nevertheless, a more important Senate Vote will be taking place next week on this very subject.


    Rand Paul is guilty as hell of something. His name keeps popping up on the wrong side of issues.

    That's how nearly all these types of fraud operations, uh, operate. In South Florida you'd frequently find 15-20 bogus home health agencies or DME companies listing the same tiny 8x10 piece of office space as their business address. Send in fake claims, get a couple million bucks, pack up and open somewhere else.

    75 But we know that "regulators" were purposely not doing any regulating at all. They were not verifying enrollment records.

    I wonder if there are criminal penalties for "regulators" deliberately and fraudulently overlooking regulatory requirements.

    That is, if the regulations require a attendance certification, and that regulation was not followed nor was even a part of an investigation or certification verification, that would make the inspection fraudulent.
    -----

    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". Effective audit/examination work includes a review of internal controls and whether they are both in place and adequate for what they were designed to accomplish.

    80 Considering what happened last time (comet pizza) it's pretty reasonable for parents to pull their kids out. Glad it closed down before some armed nutcase showed up. WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN! SHOW ME THE CHILDREN!!!

    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.

    They should have exerted their 2nd Amd rights the minute little Nick tried to break into the business under false pretenses! The only way these toxic evil bullies learn is by a show of force! 🤷‍♂️

    ----

    18 U.S.C. § 1031, known as the Major Fraud Act of 1988, which criminalizes schemes or artifices to defraud the United States or any department or agency, particularly when the fraud involves $1 million or more in federal assistance, grants, contracts, or loans.

    18 U.S.C. § 371, which prohibits conspiracy to defraud the United States. This statute can be used when public officials conspire to commit fraudulent acts, including those that undermine government functions or involve bribery, kickbacks, or contractual fraud.

    18 U.S.C. § 1001, which makes it a crime to knowingly make false, fictitious, or fraudulent statements or representations to any federal agency.

    18 U.S.C. § 666, which addresses theft or embezzlement of property from a federally funded program or entity, including when a government employee or official misappropriates funds.

    The False Claims Act (FCA), 31 U.S.C. §§ 3729–3733, which allows for civil liability against individuals or entities that knowingly submit false claims to the government.

    110 "But we know that "regulators" were purposely not doing any regulating at all. They were not verifying enrollment records."

    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.

    ======

    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.

    132 And you have to carefully read the full statement of the MN department.

    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.

    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.

    148 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.

    Yep. The only thing the parents had to do to get their cut was to agree to bring the kids to the site when the daycare was advised of an impending fake inspection. The inside moles probably let the daycares schedule the inspections.

Today, it is being converted or is already a mosque. This is happening all over the city and in other cities such as St. Cloud.

    185 Adding to my comment above, this "inspection" process is probably very much like CPS does its "inspections." The inspectors are almost always lazy, leftwing DEI hires who want to do the absolute minimum work possible.

    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.

In 1984, I was transferring in to the Carpenter's East Side Manhattan Local from NJ Local. Had an appointment with the Business Agent. He acted very nervous and he said to come back next week. I thought it weird and had wasted a trip into Manhattan. On the early news was the story that John O'Connor had been shot 5 times in the ass in the lobby of the building I went to meet him in. He had union goons bust up the new kitchen of a restaurant that used some non-union workers to install the kitchen. He didn't know the restaurant was owned by John Gotti.

    218 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.
    ----

    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.

    241 One of the stupidest things about this Daycare fraud is that daycare for Somalians is not needed. Somali women don't go to work. Based on the percentages of Somali's on welfare that Rep Brandon Gill (R-TX) disclosed in the hearings, most Somali men don't go to work either. And no one who is not Somali and cared about their child would send her to a Somali run daycare.

Unless the original, central government has already mostly collapsed because of its own decay and corruption, the separatists always lose. A separatist movement can never marshal the men and resources that a unified central government can.

    246 Was she not? Was she not being paid to chase ICE around Minneapolis? Was she just on her way to work or something? Has that even been asserted by anyone?
    Posted by: TheJamesMadison

    The answer here is a bit murky. Yesterday, shorty after the shooting, MSNOW reporter on the scene stated he was told by an a self-identified ICE Informer who knew Good, is she was also there in an ICE Informer role. This term was not defined by it does have minty overtones of her being a part of an organized left wing resistance group. Today I read Good had been harassing Federal law enforcement through out the morning. So yeah, there is a non trivial chance she was a paid agitator.

    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"

    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.

If I went to enroll my daughter and saw a bunch of Somali faces, I'd burst out laughing before telling them "I need you all to stand at least 20 feet back from us and the door until we can leave. Stay the fuck away from my baby."

    299 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.

    ------------

    I had a great chiropractor a few decades ago (healed my two-year bout with plantar fasciitis (after only two weeks of adjusting my locked-up high-arched feet).

    Anywho, he had a coffee table book in the waiting room with pictures of veterinarian chiropractors adjusting animals like horses and such.

    I made a remark about it, and he jokingly said: "I once adjusted the spine of a goldfish who kept swimming in circles."

    No, you damn well haven't, I can see the incoming call record on my phone, and there's been nothing.

    At least I have an alleged direct phone line to them now. Which they didn't answer.

    Doesn't really fill me with confidence about the competence of their operation.
