The Morning Report — 2/6/26

Good morning kids.Well there's political terrorism of the kind we are witnessing in Minneapolis and likely to spread far and wide as the midterms draw near, such as . . .

Liberals in Minnesota have had it with ICE raids and Border Patrol, so they’ve decided to take matters into their own hands with a novel plan to keep the people they don’t want out of their communities. They are, quite literally, creating a system to control who comes and goes. In the middle of the road at 32nd and Cedar Avenue in Minneapolis, activists erected a makeshift roadblock, turning the intersection into a roundabout. Cars slowed as drivers noticed. Some honked, others asked questions. One man even brought food for the people standing watch. . .
. . . Trump actually trolled the Minneapolis Left into reinventing everything they claim to oppose: border patrol, wall checkpoints, cops, enforcement. “We need our own ICE to deport these ICE agents,” they cry, without a trace of irony.
This is what always seems to happen when utopians on the Left — of all stripes — dream up their perfect society. They start by declaring that society as it exists is no good:We’ve got markets. We’ve got people making money. We’ve got private property. We’ve got exploitation — we don’t want any of that, man! So what are we going to do? We’re going to move to a commune. A farm in the middle of nowhere. It’s going to be beautiful — not like this city, not like this town. We’re going to live together in harmony. Some people are going to grow the food. Some people are going to bake the bread. Some people are going to watch the kids. It’s going to be amazing. We’re going to have a diversity of labor. Oh, you mean we’re going to have a market economy? Well, yeah, but this time it will be perfect. And we’re all going to take care of each other, man.

And then there's also direct violent confrontation that led to the deaths of two Democrat/Left frontline terrorists Good and Pretti, and this madness:

Following the fatal shooting of anti-ICE activist Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, Wagner allegedly told his followers to take up arms and attack law enforcement.
“Show up ready to go. Not talking about peaceful protests anymore,” Wagner said, calling on people to “march…with guns” and saying “the Second Amendment is the only thing that’s going to keep you f*cking protected from literal f*cking Nazi gunmen.”
“Get your f*cking guns, and stop these f*cking people,” he added.

Horrid enough but worse are the Democrat politicians and elected officials egging freaks like this on to do as this psycho wants and go out and stop ICE and law enforcement by whatever means necessary. After all President Trump and all of us who support him are literally Hitler and Nazis so once that marker has been laid down, don't be too shocked that you get this:

Colin Demarco, age 26, who reportedly feared Trump’s reelection would lead to a “fascist takeover,” was charged after he appeared at Vought’s Northern Virginia home wearing a surgical mask and gloves, court records show. U.S. Marshals Service reportedly found during the investigation that Demarco had claimed to have written a manifesto that detailed weapons and a “Body Disposal Guide,” per CBS News. The court records show that Demarco is accused of plotting to murder a victim with the initials “R.V.” who, according to the criminal complaint, “has served as a presidential appointee.”
The complaint adds that the alleged victim was involved in the creation of Project 2025 — a project funded by the conservative Heritage Foundation- to produce a policy agenda for the next GOP administration. It called for a radical reshaping of the government in ways that consolidate power in the executive branch.
Sources familiar with the case separately confirmed to CBS News that Demarco’s alleged target was Vought.

Elsewhere, Trump has dispatched Steven Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner to have a sit-down with the Mullahs. And then . . .

https://nypost.com/2026/02/06/world-news/iran-seizes-oil-tankers-threatens-massacre-in-strait-of-hormuz-hours-before-us-talks/

Iran seized two foreign oil tankers in the Persian Gulf Thursday, accusing them of smuggling fuel and detaining 15 foreign crew members ahead of high-stakes US–Iran talks Friday in Oman.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) navy said it intercepted the two ships near Farsi Island, claiming they were carrying about 1 million liters of smuggled fuel, Reuters reported.
The crews, made up of 15 foreign nationals, were taken into custody and referred to Iran’s judicial authorities, according to Iranian state media.
The IRGC alleged the vessels were part of an organized fuel-smuggling network that had been operating in the region for several months. . . Zarghami later repeated the threat, calling the Strait a potential “killing field” for American forces and signaling Iran’s willingness to escalate amid mounting regional pressure.
Special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are scheduled to meet Iranian officials in Oman Friday.
The pair are traveling from Abu Dhabi after two days of talks related to Russia and Ukraine.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Thursday that Friday’s talks were still on, stating “diplomacy is always [Trump’s] first option.”

Per longtime Trump ally and adviser Fred Fleitz:

Based on Iran’s long history of violating international agreements and manipulating negotiations, it is certain that Iranian leaders plan to use these talks to buy time and to strike a deal that they have no intention of honoring to save their regime.
Indeed, Iran’s recent offer for dialogue has already revealed its typical pattern of insincerity and strategic maneuvering.

Fletiz is correct but he went on to note, and not incorrectly:

Although the new talks with Iran probably will be futile, I believe the Trump administration made the right decision to join them because it is sending a message to the world that the U.S. is prepared to exhaust every peaceful option before it uses military force. This may prove useful in convincing Middle East states to support a U.S. attack on Iran.
A full-scale U.S. attack is unlikely to topple Iran’s repressive theocracy in the near term, given its resilient coercive apparatus, like the IRGC and Basij forces. However, targeted strikes—perhaps on nuclear sites and proxy infrastructure—could further weaken the leadership, expose vulnerabilities revealed by last summer’s Israel-U.S. attacks, and galvanize protesters by signaling international support for change.

It's a good thing that the President stands with the Iranian/Persian people but unless the Mullahorcracy and the power structure that kept them in control since 1979 is utterly dismantled, this thing s not going to end well.

It's also a very good thing that the President is drawing attention to the Islamic slaughter in Africa, without unfortunately calling out Islam itself as the root cause, political third rail that that sadly for all of humanity is...

U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) has announced that a small team of American military personnel has been sent to Nigeria to aid the African nation in counter-terrorism operations. The deployment was disclosed by AFRICOM Commander General Dagvin R.M. Anderson earlier this week at a State Department briefing regarding ongoing efforts to end Islamist attacks against Christian communities in Nigeria.The decision to deploy U.S. military officers follows a meeting between Gen. Anderson and Nigerian President Bola Tinubu last October at the Aqaba Process summit in Rome, Italy. The summit, founded by Jordan’s King Abdullah II and held usually three to four times a year, aims to address counter-terrorism practices and ongoing threats in regions of need, especially West and East Africa.

US military advisers? Anyone else besides me getting a flashback to Vietnam 1964? Beyond that, while Jordan might not be in the same category as Iran or Taliban controlled Afghanistan, it is nevertheless an Islamic nation. At best, any support to counter Boko Haram in Nigeria in my estimation is just another Taqqiya Sunrise to placate President Trump.

Personally, The President needs to round up as many Antifa and other anti-ICE thugs as he can, ship them to GITMO and waterboard them until their lungs turn to mush and they cough up all their associates and funding sources so we can crush the terrorists operating within our own borders. To me that is Mission #1.

Also, it's good to see lurker extraordinaire Victor Davis Hanson's byline. As you may know he has been dealing with some serious health issues and per his Twitter feed he is recovering. And, my spouse had very successful surgery yesterday and hopefully she will be home and quickly on the mend, so thanks to all for your kind words and prayers.

Have a great weekend.

And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

The attacks occurred in addition to other documented assaults by jihadists in multiple states in the north and center of the country this week. They also followed the confirmation on Tuesday by U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) that a “small team” of American military officers had been deployed to Nigeria to aid in the fight against terrorism. President Donald Trump declared Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) for religious freedom in October, citing its long-held status as the deadliest place in the world to practice Christianity, thanks to the large presence of radical Islamists. President Trump, with the cooperation of Nigerian President Bola Tinubu, bombed northwestern Nigeria on Christmas Day to neutralize the jihadist threat in the area. Experts suggested the likeliest targets of those airstrikes were members of the Islamic State affiliate Lakurawa.

Dvid Harsanyi: I generally don’t celebrate when people lose their jobs. As most of us know firsthand, being laid off can be a brutal experience. Indeed, when an outfit such as the Post cuts back its workforce, good people will typically lose their jobs while the worst offenders stay on. But the unmitigated arrogance and sense of entitlement exuded by journalists, who seem to believe they have a God-given right to work no matter how much money they lose their employer or how poorly they do the jobs, speaks to the problem more. Over the past decade, The Washington Post has been one of the leading culprits in the collapse of public trust in journalism.

What is implausible about Pluto’s atmosphere is the location of the planet, about 3.7 billion miles from the Sun, out in the nether reaches of the solar system. At that distance sunlight is very weak, and produces very little energy. And yet, there is enough energy here to produce an atmosphere of mostly nitrogen gas, with trace amounts of methane and carbon monoxide. Scientists think this atmosphere only exists when Pluto is closer to the Sun in its somewhat oblong orbit, and freezes out the rest of the time. As Pluto was just retreating in 2015 from that closest approach in the last two decades of the 20th century, New Horizons could detect its presence.

I wonder how the non-liberal Minnesotans feel about all that? It seems to me this would be the proper time for them to, you know, take a stand and confront the left in their own state.

14 That’s an uncomfortable truth for many today because they are uncomfortable with the reality of evil.

The revelations are a window into how these elites circle-jerk each other. e.g., Karp got Epstein to introduce his son to Woody Allen to help him break into the movies."

Today we learn that Epstein made a $15,000 donation to Woody's daughter's prep school "So that she would definetely graduate."

FDR, on coincidences in politics. Illegal migration has been a huge problem for 50 years, The government can’t or won’t address it, and the crooked courts have done their part, with screwball fairy tales disguised as legal reasoning.

The insurance companies have a concept called “attractive nuisance”. You put up a trampoline in your front yard by the sidewalk, right next to the elementary school. You’ll never guess what happens next.

Open borders, and a generous welfare state, and the crooked politicos, the religious “leaders” and “non governmental” organizations make bank. Everything is a scam. A very sick scam, and very very deadly.

You have to have at least a grudging admiration at just how wicked and effective these bastards are.

FTA: Trump should call on and or call out every GOP Senator who is standing in his way. He should do rallies in their states and encourage citizens to reach out and sway them. He should use every available lever of power to convince the Senate to pass the SAVE Act.

Yes, he should. This author's sentiments echo our very own Ordinary American, who also suggested Trump use his platform, and imo, skills as a showman, to make this happen. Put every congress weasel on the line, call them out, make them explain why they are standing in the way of what 2/3rds of the voters want. Relentless, brutal, unforgiving assault on them all.

83 Liberals in Minnesota have had it with ICE raids and Border Patrol, so they’ve decided to take matters into their own hands with a novel plan to keep the people they don’t want out of their communities. They are, quite literally, creating a system to control who comes and goes. In the middle of the road at 32nd and Cedar Avenue in Minneapolis, activists erected a makeshift roadblock, turning the intersection into a roundabout. Cars slowed as drivers noticed. Some honked, others asked questions. One man even brought food for the people standing watch. . .

And last I checked, the MN/MPLS cops are rolling these up when they appear, which is vital. That *must* happen. If the locals won't, the army needs to.

110 Fighting against voter ID is silly. The Democrats aren't stealing elections by having Bill go to the polls and pretending to be Tom. There must be something else in the SAVE Act which has their panties in a twist.

It might be simple psychology. They know while voter ID can help reduce *voter* fraud, it can do nothing to reduce *election* fraud - and this might be the key.

Oppose it on general principals and hide behind the race card and through so doing, keep the focus on the lesser issue (voter fraud) while keeping the larger issue (election fraud) out of the public consciousness.

With one exception (out of NJ, IIRC), *every* image I see of a CDL held by an illegal alien has a REALID mark on it.

If *you* want an ID, you have to bring multiple proofs of identity - one of which must be proof of citizenship - and multiple proofs of residence.

Illegals, though? They just show up get 'em from a helpful DMV clerk who is probably on the take.

191 I understand the interest in the Savannah/Nancy Guthrie story. True crime is incredibly popular… 48 Hours and Dateline and 20/20 on TV. Megyn Kelly regularly does true crime… people simply find it fascinating. Especially if it’s somehow connected to an even semi-famous person. Remember OJ Simpson? Same phenomenon…
Posted by: LinusVanPelt at February 06, 2026 08:43 AM (fQqaC)

I just don't get the appeal. I get that "true" crime is very popular. I've tried to get into it. Not my thing.

My late wife used to love that stuff. She watched Dateline regularly. I'd hear it while I was doing other stuff. To me, every "story" was the same damn thing. I did enjoy Keith Morrison's overly sensationalized narrating. Made me understand Bill Hader's awesome impression of him.

The median net worth, which is a better reflection of the typical household, is much lower, around $335,000.

The difference between average and median net worth exists because wealth is not evenly distributed.

This incident. 2019.

On January 18, 2019, a confrontation between groups of political demonstrators took place near the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. The interaction between white Covington Catholic High School student Nicholas Sandmann and Native American Nathan Phillips was captured in photos and videos disseminated by major media outlets. Other recordings of the incident showed that initial media reports had omitted details. Reports of the incident triggered outrage in the United States, including calls to dox the students. The students received death threats and Covington Catholic High School temporarily closed due to fears for its students' safety.

240 Hyman Rickover was an asshole too, but in a good way. I’ve segued into reading about Boomers in the Navy, the stories about that guy are great.

Rickover story. He was supposed to be on the access list for every nuclear vessel - obvious reasons - but one submarine didn't have him in the book. He showed up one day, in civvies - as he did, showed his ID and said he was going onboard. Pier watch said, "I'm sorry, sir, you're not in my book." Rickover said he didn't care and started walking across the brow (gangplank). Pier watch pulled his sidearm and informed Rickover that if he didn't stop immediately that he'd be shot.

Rickover walked back to the pier and told the watch to call his captain. Captain comes out, escorts Rickover aboard, apologizes profusely, and promises to punish the pier watch (Navy officers can be real pricks - sorry Salty, you know it's true.) Rickover replied that the kid should be promoted instead since he was actually prepared to do the job he'd been assigned.

242 Minnesota activist Kyle Wagner was abducted and disappeared by DHS/ICE this morning. This will get thrown out immediately. Just like the arrest of observers.

Yeah, but the point is to intimidate and threaten people, cause them to lose jobs, cause others who are inclined to stand up against this to second guess themselves. In that regard, it’s irrelevant if these goons are prosecuted years from now.

When can ICE be sued for all this nonsense, all this property damage? All the violence and murder?

Suing isn't enough. When this regime falls, the people must not accept anything less than a total seizure of all wealth and personal assets belonging to any member of ICE and members of 47's regime, including any other significant backers of the 47 regime. Leave each of them with nothing to their name except literally the clothes on their backs.

There must be no exceptions, unlike at Nuremberg when many escapes justice due to exceptions.

Then distribute the seized wealth to both rebuild the country and its institutions, and to pay compensation to victims and families of victims of this regime.

251 The idea that Science can be a body of knowledge is where we get pronouncements from a priestly class that “The Science” has established such and so, and therefore we mere laymen and peons are not allowed to question it. That is the opposite of the scientific method. So science cannot be both the method that questions all allegedly accepted propositions, and also a body of accepted knowledge.

270 Per Fidelity, the median-vs-mean net worth difference is pretty consistent:

Under 35: $39k vs $183.5k (1:4.71)
35-44: $135.6k vs $549.6k (1:4.05)
45-54: $247.2k vs $975.8k (1:3.95)
55-64: $364.5k vs $1570k (1:4.31)
65-74: $409.9k vs $1790k (1:4.37)
Over 74: $335.6k vs $1620k (1:4.82)

That's a pretty tight range across cohorts. So what's the point of the observation about the elderly? The disparity is highest in that group, but it isn't wildly different. If anything, the story here is "get rich early or you probably won't at all" - which has no bearing at all on older people because that is now in the past...

281 Suing isn't enough. When this regime falls, the people must not accept anything less than a total seizure of all wealth and personal assets belonging to any member of ICE and members of 47's regime, including any other significant backers of the 47 regime. Leave each of them with nothing to their name except literally the clothes on their backs.

There must be no exceptions, unlike at Nuremberg when many escapes justice due to exceptions.

Then distribute the seized wealth to both rebuild the country and its institutions, and to pay compensation to victims and families of victims of this regime.

Trump says "kinder and gentler". Trump also signs order saying that deportation orders cannot be appealed. Trump's deportation lieutenants are NOT saying "kinder and gentler".

295 Re: AMA trans position reversal"

As recently as this past December the American Academy of Pediatrics reiterated its opposition to state and federal restrictions on the euphemistically named "Gender Affirming Care", using the rubric of physician-patient confidentiality and touting their solidarity with other medical organizations.

"Proposed restrictions to gender-affirming care are a ‘baseless intrusion into the patient-physician relationship’ "

https://is.gd/JxXO4O

The AAP is among the many major medical organizations including the American Medical Association (AMA) and World Health Organization that support access to gender-affirming care.

It will be interesting to see how the AAP responds now that they stand shoulder to shoulder with...well.... nobody. It would not surprise me at all if they double down on their radical position.

313 I was reading a leftwing take on the famous meme Elon posted with the person on the left going farther and farther left making someone who had been "center left" now "center right"

They reversed the image (because the left can't meme) to show the right wing person moving further right

When called on the fact that staples of leftwing thought now - open borders, abolish the police, or transing kids weren't a common leftwing belief in say 2012 the answer was...but there were some people that believed those things...even if they were just posting on tumblr!

Which doesn't answer the question. Elon's picture argues the left has gone further left. Issue by issue analysis agrees. But we now have the left using the classic proof by ancedote fallacy.

And yes, again, the same people arguing the left hasn't moved farther left also argued that of course they've learned things unlike those rightwingers that can't learn which...is just a nicer way of making Elon's point.

And the underlying data support that. But the ratio is very close across cohorts.

And yeah, my comment was ambiguous AF. Apologies for that. What I meant wasn't exactly "hit the big time in your twenties," but rather "work to open that net-worth gap in your twenties." That requires discipline, work, smarts and in most cases, a bit of luck. That doesn't mean you're a millionaire by your 30s, but it does mean you're quite a lot richer - on paper, anyway - than your peers by the time you exit your 20s.

Which makes sense. Wealth builds over time, but you have to feed it rather than eat it. That requires you to have something to feed it (have a decent job, etc.) and that you have the restraint to not eat it (have discipline). If you can do that early, it has a good chance of persisting.

Which isn't new.

Correct.

It also expands the requirements to purge voter rolls.

And grants private groups standing to enforce that.

That is what has them scrared.

HAVA from 2002 requires states to maintain clean voter rolls, and blue states just don't do it.

This is a common Dem "negotiation" strategy. Fight like hell against anything you don't want even if it doesn't matter.

This of course contrasts with the GOPe strategy of "agree to give them everything they want and in return only ask for the minimum thing we want" as their starting ask...

Trump is far, far better at this then the GOPe, of course, unlike them he actually wants to change things in a conservative direction

355 Yeah, a quick Google summary says 59% of Army commissions are ROTC, 16% are Service Academy, and only 8% are Officer Candidate school (lots of Guard officers do this route, but not many active duty).

The remaining 16% are direct commission. Usually very skilled specialists like doctors that get automatically commissioned so they can get better pay as they go to their officer branch schools.

Project Veritas had an undercover video of a higher-up Dem GoTV guy in 2016 where he admitted they've been busing people across the borders on election day to do same day registration/voting in multiple states. They also temporarily move people across the country so that they are residing in a swing state on election day. If you have to show ID then you show your *residency* as well as your real name.

Also means you can't vote under someone else's name, which happens: someone goes to vote and they are told they've already voted. They can fill out a provisional ballot, IIRC, but their legit vote doesn't count.

Trolls focus on words. Real men focus on deeds.

Trump SAYS a lot of stupid shit. It gets people running around with their hair on fire (I should try that and see if it's good for gainzzzz). Then he quietly continues doing what he's been doing.

Trump says "kinder and gentler". Trump also signs order saying that deportation orders cannot be appealed. Trump's deportation lieutenants are NOT saying "kinder and gentler".

It helps to pay attention.
Posted by: I used to have a different nic at February 06, 2026 09:10 AM (ExV1e)

Yeah, but...everyone knows the Art of Politics is using the most inflammatory, inciting, and harsh language possible to describe the policies you want or are carrying out.

Like say, deporting illegal aliens.

Instead of calling it "deporting illegal aliens", the savvy politician, which Trump is not!!!, would say-

"throwing the scum of the earth into fiery burn-pits filled with industrial waste and diarrhea , then shooting them in the back and throwing their children into hamburger grinders"

That's the way Trump should do things.

I hope this helps.

371 One surprisingly powerful and affordable solution is already sitting in most kitchens: orange peels. Instead of throwing them away, boiling orange peels can instantly refresh your entire home and leave behind a clean, citrusy scent that lasts for hours.

373 Good morning, all. Thanks, J.J.

From above: "U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) has announced that a small team of American military personnel has been sent to Nigeria to aid the African nation in counter-terrorism operations."

Where's the UN been?!

In May 2025, The Daily Trust wrote: 'Over 200,000 Nigerian troops, civilians served in 41 peacekeeping missions — UN'

In part, "No fewer than 200,000 Nigerian troops, police, and civilians have served in 41 UN, AU, and ECOWAS missions since 1960, according to UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator, Mr. Mohamed M. Malick Fall.

He made this statement yesterday as the United Nations marked 77 years of peace operations and 65 years of Nigeria’s contribution to UN peacekeeping operations.

Speaking at UN House in Abuja during the commemoration event themed “Fit for the Future, Building Better Together,” Mr. Fall emphasized Nigeria’s long-standing commitment to peacekeeping.

“Nigeria has consistently demonstrated strong leadership and dedication in maintaining global peace, from Liberia and Sierra Leone to Darfur and Mali,” he stated, praising Nigeria’s contributions."

374 So while Nigeria is a major contributor of troops to UN missions elsewhere (e.g., in Liberia and DRC), the UN does not operate a peacekeeping force within Nigeria's borders.

There have been UN Peacekeepers in Liberia and DRC for decades: (UNMIL: 2003–201

and in the DRC (MONUSCO: 2010–Present). And BOTH nations now serve on the UN Security Council as part of the African Group, significantly shaping regional security and peacekeeping strategies.

(Aside: Further, many former or dual citizenship residents of Liberia reside in the US where they're now into multi- generations in certain regions and hold prominent civic offices, operate non-profits, etc. )

In July 2022, Liberia officially recognized dual citizenship, allowing individuals of Liberian descent to hold both Liberian and U.S. citizenship. The new law signed by President George Weah reversed a 1973 ban, permitting natural-born Liberians to retain their nationality after acquiring another.

In the US Liberia remains covered in the US under Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) through June 30, 2026, and the DRC continues to be a top source of Refugees.
