If they riot in Texas it will be in Austin.
They probably will be smaller protests in Houston and Dallas but the popo don’t play around.

A late comment I had in the M.R. thread;
-----
There a quote by Alexandr Solzhenitsyn making the rounds; "The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of men who wanted to be left alone."
There's more to it. But it's been trending among some peoples.

Perhaps Minnesota is entirely populated by beta males, which might explain the cowardly and weak response to roving bands of leftist agitators stopping random people to demand their bona fides against the entirely legal efforts of the federal government to root out violent illegals in our midst!
MN is a state without natural immunity to the kinds of crime and aggression seen there now. The Skandis are like the Indians when we white men arrived with our diseases. I know some of these people. Their inability to understand that the rest of humanity isn't like them is truly astonishing.

Still in the hospital. They kept me overnight for observation since I didn't physically see the stone pass. No pain though since yesterday morning around 8:00am. Just waiting on discharge.

Until the American people unequivocally demand a robust response to these violent protests, they will continue.
This reminds me of nothing so much as a Simpsons quote, when Mayor "Diamond Joe" Quimby is being pressured to do something:
"Demand? Who are you to demand anything? You're just a bunch of low income nobodies!"
And that is the GOP in a nutshell.

Used to have wars where lots of males engaged each other and lots would die in battle or be taken as sex slaves for the butt pirates. Now wars only involve small numbers of actually war fighters so the young males today have no outlet for blood and violence except sports or becoming a democrat homosexual.

Its clear that the Twin Cities are populated almost entirely by beta males and limp-wristed fags. That "we're going to take over your church service" would never happen in Oklahoma or Texas, unless it was at a United Methodist or Unitarian service, in which case they weren't busy doing anything of any importance to begin with.

Maybe violence works for the left because traditional media propagandizes leftists to view it as perfectly within the bounds of reasonability while recoiling with horror at any similar reaction from the right. The right doesn't have the same propaganda tools to turn their supporters into unthinking sacks of flesh.

... which is of course the goal; they want an overreaction to the violent protests that they are planning in blue cities ...
-------------
Every reaction or non-reaction is always framed as "overreaction" regardless (e.g. the retarded racist Speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates, Don Scott, publicly stated that President Trump shot an unarmed white woman in the face in Minneapolis).
Trump should have invoked the Insurrection Act on May 26, 2020 -- the first night of the Domestic Terrorist Burning, Looting, and Murdering riots -- and sent in the National Guard and/or US Military with orders to disperse or be shot.
And that would have been the end of that.

How would that play out in Florida or Texas or Montana? Perhaps it is time to find out.
-
Depends where in Texas or Florida or Montana.
Missoula is as left wing as Minneapolis if not more so since it’s a college town. Riots there would be fully supported by local police and politicians and the majority of the population. Same in Austin. Probably San Antonio. Miami? Probably. Especially with the new AWFL Democrat mayor they just elected.
Every big city is a blue shithole doesn’t matter what state it’s in.

The Morning Rant: Violence Is Being Normalized
___________
It's not just violence that's being normalized. Academics and "experts" are normalizing all kinds of vices. Promiscuous sex, drugs, gambling, divorce, loss of religious sentiments, destruction of the family. All of which fall most heavily on the poor they purport to defend.

Larry Correia talks about the left and violence.
The left sees violence as a dial- you can get a little violent, or a lot violent, but you can tone it down if it gets too much.
The right sees it as a switch. Either we are a peaceful republic or it's all out war.
If the left keeps playing with their dial, they might flip the switch because they don't actually realize they're playing with fire.

Especially after the shooting at a church there in August, those asshats are lucky they didn't get shot when terrorizing that congregation.
Yeah, try that in Texas ...

They did before I passed it. But bloodwork, kidney function, residue in the screener & no pain for over 24 hours suggests enough for no need for a scan.
The original ER nurse said it was 8mm. The on Floor nurse in urology said 5mm. The actual urologist said it was only 4mm and I probably wouldn't notice it passing anyway.
I actually peed bigger stones from my lithotripsy in 93.

Trump should have invoked the Insurrection Act on May 26, 2020 -- the first night of the Domestic Terrorist Burning, Looting, and Murdering riots -- and sent in the National Guard and/or US Military with orders to disperse or be shot.
And that would have been the end of that.
Kurt Schlichter has thoughts. I go back and forth, not because I'm a RINO but because I'm interested in having the biggest impact.
There’s talk of Trump invoking the Insurrection Act. No, he should keep that in his pocket. Remember, you see the individual encounters in Minnesota all over social media and the cable news, but there are only a few of them. The whole city is not in flames. It’s just a few fights, and there are 3,000 agents there. There’s no need to change the scenario and allow the left to alter the focus by putting the military on the street. Remember, they changed the focus from enabling Somali fraud to ICE being mean and shooting moronic lesbians who tried to run them over. We don’t need to slow down what ICE is doing. We need to accelerate it.

Gutfeld advanced the theory that AWFLs are women who have been betrayed by feminism, and have ditched that movement to act out rescue/protect fantasies starring illegals and outright criminals.
Add in some 'radical chic' and the desire to pose like the civil rights movement of the 60s, and you get modern-day Minnesota.

Depends where in Texas or Florida or Montana.
Missoula is as left wing as Minneapolis if not more so since it’s a college town. Riots there would be fully supported by local police and politicians and the majority of the population. Same in Austin. Probably San Antonio. Miami? Probably. Especially with the new AWFL Democrat mayor they just elected.
Every big city is a blue shithole doesn’t matter what state it’s in.

What the Feds need to do, is see just how prosecutable fraud is.
In your oath of office, you swore to uphold the Constitution of the US. Signing on to sanctuary city policies goes against your sworn oath.
Or stop with the oath altogether.

That they are unfamiliar with the realities of attacking men with guns doesn't prevent them from obeying the directives of their puppet masters, and it is only the restraint of law enforcement and the indecision of our political leaders that has minimized bloodshed.

I don’t think it’s necessary now because it’s much more limited and ICE is continuing their presence and efforts . It may become necessary but again I don’t think now is the time.

The left sees violence as a dial- you can get a little violent, or a lot violent, but you can tone it down if it gets too much.
The right sees it as a switch. Either we are a peaceful republic or it's all out war.
If the left keeps playing with their dial, they might flip the switch because they don't actually realize they're playing with fire.

Recall the Solitary Dancer demonstration. He takes the bold step of drawing attention to himself. The first follower plays the crucial role of affirming the dancer, and encouraging others to join.
More people joining in creates and reinforces a kind of vortex that first pulls in those who are moderately aligned. The vortex reaches a critical mass that pulls in the mildly aligned, and under the right circumstances, pulls in otherwise reluctant participants who fear non-participation will make them stand out as conspicuously as the original Solitary Dancer.
This is what is playing out in Minnesota. The vortex is going after the reluctant participants. This is new. The Summer of Floyd lacked this component. How this gets dealt with determines our future, IMO...

Meanwhile, ICE is still in MN and actually increased its presence and enforcement action. We are winning. Stay the course.

No, but slavery was being more and more constrained and would have ended in due course, the due course would have more than likely taken a couple of more decades, so roughly 1890s.

I mean, there is a case that Trump 2020 was right. He's in control of the federal government and can't simply pre-empt governor decisions.
This is also how he acted during the shamdemic. He was the lead concierge. He was there to serve governors as to how to defeat the shamdemic.
However, in 2026 there is a case for "not this shit again!"
The Constitution is not a suicide pact and the President can declare an insurrection.

More like 50 antifag goons. Look at the video of the riots. It's a few dozen assholes and swarms of media types and wannabe influencers. When something happens, you often can't get a good look because the media losers are all crowded around it. Like 50 reporters standing around Punxsutawney Phil's hole. Pics of the aftermath are usually of the same car or location shot from multiple angles.

The Dems would like nothing more than Trump invoking the Insurrection Act. THAT would motivate their base more than anything for the elections. In reality these incidents are relatively few and localized compared to the number of operations. ICE should just stay the course and respond aggressively to provocation, with or without local police. The agitators will eventually get bored and stay home or be in jail.

Brazil also had 20x the number of slaves, in fact most of the slaves that came west in the TAST, went to Brazil.
Very few slaves actually came to the lands that would eventually become the US.
Very important to note, slavery is not a US construct.

Maybe? The industrial revolution was certainly coming to the plantations and tractors are cheaper than humans in the long run. But you (the plantation owner) have to have a pretty good financial cushion to be able to see the long run and human stoop labor remains a thing even on some farms today. Hence the (perceived) "need" for cheap immigrant labor.

LEOs are perfectly within their rights to follow to their home, though. One of the funnier features of police chase videos is when a suspect drives to their house, gets out of their car, and is shocked when a K-9 and a taser close on them at high speed. They seriously think if you make it home you're safe.

According to a real 911 call placed on Friday, January 16, 2026, the very people trying to harass federal agents are now panicking because those agents are reportedly leading the agitators right back to their own front doors.

Danish politician Anders Vistisen unleashed a foul-mouthed tirade at President Trump at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland on Tuesday in protest over his plan to take over Greenland.
'Let me put this in words you might understand: Mr. President, f*** off,' he said at the WEP podium before being reprimanded by officials for violating 'clear rules' about using curse words.
'It is unacceptable, even if you might have strong political feelings,' the official declared.

Probably gets us nowhere. If the judiciary really is one of the, or the problem then we're screwed trying to use a fucked-up, broken and corrupt system to do any sort of lawfare. At least in the short run.
Dealing with the judicial coup should have been Trump's number 1 priority. Letting it become the constitutional crisis everyone bitched about last year seems pretty quaint. Seeing as how that's exactly what it is.
Posted by: Martini Farmer at January 20, 2026 11:42 AM (U2OZr)
I think one of the strategies the enemies of the people decided to employ, once Trump was in office, was to see if they could slow walk the courts, and wait it out until they were back in power.
No doubt we are racing to a finish line here, and there might be less than a year left before the tape is broken.

In most cases, the "left" defines Marxists and Marx-like advocates. The "right" is everybody that does not want to go all the way to the end of one of those narratives, or advance to the "next step".
Interesting thing is that fascists at least want to go to the next step: the "Dictatorship of the Proletariat". But its different in their version; the goal of the state is not to whip people into shape until they're ready to live in communes forever, but simply serve out the needs of the nation. The fascist state is simply supposed to be the DotP as the *end* state of "progress".
They are "right" because they would not put the state to the purpose of the "6th and final stage of history".

They economics of slavery had already disappeared by 1860. The reason the south wanted slavery expanded to the territories is because at that time the most valuable things about a slave was his (and her) ability to make more slaves. The south needed an outlet for these "new" slaves to keep it economically viable.
...
Yes, breeding humans is particularly disgusting. There were individuals on the South side that were good people, but the South's cause was seriously evil. (And sadly, actual concerns about the extent of federal power were swallowed up in the evils of slavery.)

There's often a method to Trump's madness even if not evident. He's up to several things with "Greenland"
Trump & Co recently released a report on US global strategic priorities:
1. Fortress Americas with a latter-day Monroe Doctrine
2. The Far East. We'll try to get China to play nice, but if not see #1
3. Europe. Has lost its way. If they don't find their way back, it's on them. See #1
4. Africa. Benign neglect. See #1
"Greenland" is clearly part of #1.
But it's also #3. Denmark has sovereignty over Greenland only in a nominal way for historic reasons now obscure. You'd think our NATO allies would appreciate our strategic interest and play along. But no.
By sending a token resistance force our NATO allies are proving that the Alliance is long past its expiration.
We should offer Greenlanders the same deal we give Puerto Ricans.
And give every adult a free Polaris snowmobile.
Trump knows how to close a deal.

“I felt like anything rather than rejoicing at the downfall of a foe who had fought so long and valiantly, and had suffered so much for a cause, though that cause was, I believe, one of the worst for which a people ever fought, and one for which there was the least excuse.

Just a point of order.
Although it is common in English to make "gulag" a common noun and to pluralize it, in Russian it is an acronym, GULAG, standing for "Glávnoye upravléniye ispravítel'no-trudovýkh lageréy" or "Main Directorate of Correctional Labor Camps"), and was the name for the entire labor-camp system.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Although it is common in English to make "gulag" a common noun and to pluralize it, in Russian it is an acronym, GULAG, standing for "Glávnoye upravléniye ispravítel'no-trudovýkh lageréy" or "Main Directorate of Correctional Labor Camps"), and was the name for the entire labor-camp system. So, not a common noun, and not capable of being pluralized.

Danish politician Anders Vistisen unleashed a foul-mouthed tirade at President Trump at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland on Tuesday in protest over his plan to take over Greenland.
'Let me put this in words you might understand: Mr. President, f*** off,' he said at the WEP podium before being reprimanded by officials for violating 'clear rules' about using curse words.
'It is unacceptable, even if you might have strong political feelings,' the official declared.

I expect the average Dane on the street would welcome the loss of Greenland. It is a net drain on the Danish economy.

90% of Danes can't locate GL on a map. 75% didn't even know their country "owned" it. Probably 50% of Danes never even heard of GL before.
Denmark would love to unload GL and its flocks of parasite squatters. If someone like Obama was president and wanted GL, the deal would already be done. But nobody will ever give Trump the satisfaction of a major territorial expansion.

Our SIL was in heaven last night. He is an IU grad, and he, our daughter, and two of the three kids were glued to the TV watching that tense championship game.
That call, I'm sure it was run in by coach, to run it on 4th from the 12 yard line, to try to boost the 3 point lead, was a risky one, and Fernando Mendoza's run, particularly the dive over the goal line and how he had the ball extended out and then when falling, tucked it back in tight when he saw where he was on the line, was one for the ages.
That it happened in Miami, where all four of his grandparents had come to escape the Cuban revolution, was the icing on the cake.

Slavery would have faded out in the US because it was already fading out and was constrained largely to a region in one specific economic sector.
The question is only when it would have faded out completely not if.

My guess is slavery would have faded away by about 1880 anyway. It was rapidly becoming economically untenable.
Maybe? The industrial revolution was certainly coming to the plantations and tractors are cheaper than humans in the long run. But you (the plantation owner) have to have a pretty good financial cushion to be able to see the long run and human stoop labor remains a thing even on some farms today. Hence the (perceived) "need" for cheap immigrant labor.
Posted by: Oddbob
"King Cotton", which drove those practices due to its difficulty to mechanically harvest, wasn't done in until the boll weevil infestation finished it off in the early 20th century. So it probably would have survived a while longer than those folks think.

Nah... the raping and pillaging Scandis went off andconquered new lands (England, Normandy... those boys even took over Sicily at one point) and never returned.
Their ancestors were the ones who were left behind.
See also: the French after Nappy killed all of their best and brightest in the Russia campaign.
At one point in the Amelia video, she asks if the bloodlines of all the men with bollocks were wiped out in WWI and WWII.

Women in the US have NEVER been chattel, at least none that were not also slaves.
Women were married off early because life was hard and EVERYONE had terrible lives. Sometimes it was worse for the women. Sometimes it was worse for the men.
Most men were working full time as an adult by age 13 at the same time women were being married off at that age. Were men chattel because of that?

"Slavery" to the state will always be a possibility, in any age. It's a bit different from "chattel slavery", with buying and selling and "ownership" of personal slaves.
I doubt the slaves would appreciate the distinction.

But it's decision the state makes. Enslave parts of the population or let "free citizens" take others as their own property under their own prerogative. A veneer of ideology could not last long in the latter scenario, since capital itself is "evil" and humans are not to be taken as capital.
Marxists would see private "human capital" as the worst form of "Capitalism". It's why "advanced" civilizations can enslave without violating the ethic against "chattel slavery".

A wave of right-wing social media accounts launched near-identical attacks against a little-known Republican-backed bill aimed at restricting the export of advanced AI chips to adversaries, raising questions about whether the effort was coordinated to derail legislation publicly opposed by Nvidia.
The AI OVERWATCH Act was introduced on Dec. 18, but seemingly out of nowhere on Thursday, a group of influencers and X accounts — including Laura Loomer, Ryan Fournier, Wall Street Mav and Defiant L’s — launched a barrage of attacks against the bill, ModelRepublic first reported. The timing, language and even shared errors across the posts prompted some to question whether the messaging may have been coordinated.
Despite posts characterizing the bill as an effort led by Democrats and “Never-Trumpers,” the legislation was introduced by Republican Rep. Brian Mast of Florida, who chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and has no Democratic sponsors.

Assault
Sec. 22.01. ASSAULT. (a) A person commits an offense if the person:
(1) intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly causes bodily injury to another, including the person's spouse;
(2) intentionally or knowingly threatens another with imminent bodily injury, including the person's spouse; or
(3) intentionally or knowingly causes physical contact with another when the person knows or should reasonably believe that the other will regard the contact as offensive or provocative.

Of course the crap going on in Minnesota is all political theater. The left is doing their thing before the elections. Paid protesters stirring up trouble while also keeping the mass fraud of their party off the front page. It's right there in your face if you want to see it. And their excuses are ridiculous, if you break the law you should be arrested. The media love to keep this story going for as long as they can.
To tell the truth, I'm bored with all of it. If they want to go out everyday and play stupid I don't care. It's their state let them make asses out of themselves, they are doing a good job of it.

They wanted to get Trump for inciting J-6, by his "rhetoric".
However, nothing Trump said in the J-6 rally approaches Walz contention that ICE is going "door-to-door" asking "where the People of Color are at".
That's a patent lie, and it stirs up violent reaction in its target group so that they claim they are "protecting their neighborhoods" (Not against forcible sodomy of children, as the record shows.)
Chris Plante did a brilliant subversion of Mayor Fried's statement that "thousands of people who don't share their values" invaded Mini-appletini. Since, Fried does not mean that about the vast number of immigrants dropped off in the city, then those immigrants--who know little about American values--must share Fried's values. Such as forcible sodomy on children.
ICE does not share that value. So Fried is right.

Making sure to have their license plates will make it easier to identify Karens from "normal moms" and will make everyone safer...

I think SCOTUS took this one because it's a no-brainer. In my most forgiving mood, I can almost imagine that there might be a case to be made for a vampire law but Hawaii's ain't it. "Your honors, you should let us keep our unconstitutional laws because it's what King Kamehameha would have done."

I went to jr. high with a guy who like mayo on fries.
He pronounced it "my-nez" and the kitchen dishwashing receptacle as "zink."

Issue polling is rife with major issues, especially regarding the phrasing of questions.
A YouGov poll getting 45% to disapprove of ICE? Considering YouGov can barely be considered a poll...that's nothing.
Simply ask "Should the US deport all illegals" and you'll still get solid majorities.
Plus, now that activists are afraid of confronting ICE directly (lots of arrests over the last couple of weeks for obstruction), and suddenly the theater of ICE diminishes.

How many state AGs refused to investigate voter fraud in 2020?
Political capture of law enforcement at the highest levels is not a new issue.

Putting more oil on fried food seems odd.

But it's an eggy oil, so it adds creaminess.
Not that *I* put mayo on fries too often. I'd more likely use a avocado-oil Ranch.

Scrambled eggs are an obvious oversight, there.

>Ketchup on eggs is about as savage as you can get. A dash or two of cayenne pepper sauce is the proper condiment.

Thought GULAG was the portmanteau for Glavnoye Upravlyeniye Lagerov. Certainly works that way. Maybe I missed the part about "labor" camps.
Cheka is still my favorite, they never outdid that one for absurdly long organization names.
