It was one of the most extraordinary performances by an American political leader since the Confederates seceded in 1861 (snip)We have never seen anything like it, not just in Minnesota but anywhere in America, since the Civil War: a governor threatening to call out the National Guard to forcibly resist federal authority and prevent the enforcement of our national laws. George Wallace didn’t do that. Ross Barnett didn’t do that. Walz can’t seriously think that the Minnesota National Guard can militarily resist federal authority.

President Donald Trump threatened to take matters into his own hands if Minnesota Democrats don’t take action against violent protesters wreaking havoc on federal law enforcement. (snip) Video footage caught violent mobs in Minnesota destroying an ICE vehicle. Other footage shows rioters looting federal vehicles, stealing equipment and other items inside.
In response to the increased ICE presence, Minnesota officials, joined by Minneapolis and St. Paul leaders, have sued to keep ICE out of the state. Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, both Democrats, have demanded agents leave.

This afternoon, Tim Walz called a press conference in which he threatened civil war.

George Wallace didn’t do that. Ross Barnett didn’t do that. Walz can’t seriously think that the Minnesota National Guard can militarily resist federal authority.
DHS says the person shot by an ICE agent has died.
In a statement to FOX 9, ICE says officers were conducting its operation when protesters began blocking officers.
"One of these violent rioters weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them—an act of domestic terrorism," the statement reads. "An ICE officer, fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots.He used his training and saved his own life and that of his fellow officers."
Gov. Tim Walz says the state is anticipating and preparing for increased ICE enforcement actions over the holidays, including the possibility of ICE agents targeting Christmas Eve mass. (snip) "We hear rumors, we hear suggestions of things, because that's how they operate, that there will be an increased presence," said Gov. Walz. "I would tell you, if I were a betting person, they will do it over these holiday seasons because it makes it especially cruel."
Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers working in St. Paul Sunday became involved in a use-of-force incident with shots fired after a suspect struck officers, rammed their vehicles, and proceeded to bite officers.
The suspect has since been identified by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ICE as Cuban illegal alien Juan Carlos Rodrigues Romero in statements posted on social media. (snip) “This dangerous attempt to evade arrest comes after sanctuary politicians, like Governor Walz and other radical leftists, demeaned ICE and held events to help illegal aliens evade arrest,” said ICE.
A federal agent was hit by a vehicle in St. Paul, Minnesota, Sunday morning and subsequently fired their weapon, according to police.
The St. Paul Police Department said the federal agent suffered injuries that were not life-threatening, and the suspect was not injured. Federal agents took the suspect into custody, police said. (snip) Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said the suspect is an undocumented immigrant from Cuba who was "noncompliant" during a traffic stop.
ICE protest on Lake Street in Minneapolis

Several community groups marched on Lake Street in Minneapolis to protest Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in the state. (snip) Operation Metro Surge led to several confrontations between federal law enforcement after residents swarmed and sometimes disrupted ICE operations.
President Donald Trump used several of his speeches to target the Somali community in Minnesota, saying he does not want them in the country.
Minnesota is on top of everyone’s mind once again for all of the wrong reasons. The Somali fraud crisis is being reported as up to $1 billion, but that is just the fraud that is being charged right now. Minnesota U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson has already said that our fraud problem breaks into the billions of dollars, and whistleblowers within the Minnesota Department of Human Services predict the fraud will reach up to $6.5 billion just in the time that Tim Walz has been in office. (snip) They pass these laws, their friends get rich, and when you call it out, you are labeled a racist. .
Amid reports of a federal crackdown targeting Somali immigrants, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey on Wednesday issued an executive order prohibiting law enforcement from using city-owned parking lots for immigration operations. (snip) “This property is owned and/or controlled by the City of Minneapolis. The City of Minneapolis does not authorize this property to be used, and it may not be used, by any federal, state, or local government entity or personnel as a staging area, processing location, operations base, or any other similar use for civil immigration enforcement operations.”

Cities leaders speak in support of Somali community 9 replies
Twin Cities leaders spoke out against the Trump administration Tuesday after The New York Times reported federal officials are planning an alleged "crackdown" on Somali immigration in Minnesota.
A source familiar with the alleged operation told The Times the plan will target dozens of Somali immigrants throughout the Twin Cities region. (snip) Frey first spoke directly to Minnesota's Somali immigrant population, saying, "We love you and we stand with you. That commitment is rock solid."
Two uniformed military personnel, appearing to be National Guardsmen, have been shot in downtown Washington just blocks from the White House, according to two sources familiar with the ongoing situation.
The Metropolitan Police Department said it is on the scene of a shooting at 17th and I streets.
"Please avoid the area as MPD and our partners work to secure the scene," the MPD wrote on X.

Rep. Walter Hudson, R-Albertville, joined Liz Collin on her podcast. He is a member of the Minnesota House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Policy Committee and spoke about the massive amount of fraud in Minnesota. (snip) Collin pointed out how Hudson wasn’t just talking about fraud in Minnesota, but trying to do something about it, and how Hudson called on U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to take action. Hudson said Bondi should buy a second residence in Minnesota because she would “never run out of people to prosecute” here.

President Donald Trump's push to seize Greenland might be the least popular idea in American political history.
Is that hyperbole? If so, that's only because reliable and fast public polling is a relatively recent development within our 250-year experiment in self-governance.
A Reuters/Ipsos poll released Wednesday found a staggering 4 percent of Americans favor the idea of seizing Greenland with military force. Among Republicans, the idea is actually twice as popular: 8 percent say taking the island is a "good idea."

NUUK, Greenland — Troops from several European countries continued to arrive in Greenland on Thursday in a show of support for Denmark as talks between representatives of Denmark, Greenland and the U.S. highlighted “fundamental disagreement” over the future of the Arctic island.
Denmark announced it would increase its military presence in Greenland on Wednesday as foreign ministers from Denmark and Greenland were preparing to meet with White House representatives in Washington. Several European partners — including France, Germany, the U.K., Norway, Sweden and the Netherlands — started sending symbolic numbers of troops already on Wednesday or promised to do so in the following days.
Trump advisor Stephen Miller appeared on Fox News, and he reminded the men and women of ICE that the administration had their back, no matter how much Democrat politicians and leftist agitators tried to attack them. (Snip) At this point, Democrats are completely off the rails. We've already seen some of the crazy comments from people like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
But I guess Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08) wanted to try to challenge them for the worst possible take. This is truly insane. Democrats have lost their minds.
Governor Tim Walz encouraged Minnesota residents to carry their phones at all times to record federal immigration actions, promising during a statewide address on Wednesday night that "accountability is coming" for abuses by Federal officers. Help us create a database of the atrocities against Minnesotans, not just to establish a record for posterity, but to bank evidence for future prosecution" (snip.) "News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos and disruption and trauma the federal government is raining down upon our communities," Walz said.
President Trump on Thursday threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act against Minnesota if the state declines to stop rioters from attacking Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.
Under the Insurrection Act, the president can deploy the military and federalize the National Guard in response to civil disorder or an armed rebellion against the US government.
“If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT, which many Presidents have done before me,” Trump warned on Truth Social.
Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson managed to completely butcher the English language, leading to widespread mockery online.
As CBS reported, the Supreme Court heard arguments on Tuesday on whether laws from Idaho and West Virginia that ban biological males from playing in girls’ and women’s sports violate the Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection and the landmark law known as Title IX.
Two bio males, Lindsay Hecox of Idaho and Becky Pepper-Jackson of West Virginia, sued their respective states, claiming they discriminate based on sex and transgender status. They claim the states’ laws ban every ‘transgender’ female from school sports, and treat them worse than others.
This is, of course, not true.
Fox News host Griff Jenkins told Democratic Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey point-blank on Wednesday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are in his city to detain illegal immigrant criminals.
Frey called on ICE to “get the f*** out” of Minneapolis in the aftermath of Renee Good’s death, who was shot by an ICE agent after she appeared to accelerate her car toward the officer during an enforcement operation.
Jenkins and Frey sparred on “Fox & Friends” while the host noted that ICE operations have ramped up across the U.S. to arrest illegal immigrants who crossed the border during former President Joe Biden’s administration.
“Mr. Mayor, you ask ICE to get the
Former vice president Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff purchased an $8 million mansion in an exclusive oceanside Malibu neighborhood last month. The move came after Harris spent years warning that such communities could be threatened by the "climate crisis."
A real estate listing for the mansion, reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, says the luxury pad is "perched in a prime coastal location" with "breathtaking ocean views." The property sits right near a coastline that—according to climate scenarios endorsed by Harris—is at risk of facing extreme flooding. A climate model issued by the Biden-Harris administration determined that Point Dume State Beach, the beach a short walk
As Minneapolis police failed to respond to violent unrest Wednesday night, rioters smashed into ICE vehicles, ripped out weapons lockers, and — according to video posted online — made off with a rifle and ammunition before fleeing the scene. The video shows the tattooed face of a man making off with what appears to be a rifle case removed from the vehicle.
Rioters took to the streets with impunity Wednesday night after the second officer-involved shooting in Minneapolis in the past week. A federal law enforcement officer was forced to shoot an illegal alien from Venezuela after he allegedly violently assaulted an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer attempting
Multiple reports out of Minneapolis indicate that leftist rioters in the city are revealing the names and locations of federal law enforcement agents on livestreams using documents recovered from looted vehicles.
The reports came after the Department of Homeland Security says one of agents shot a Venezuelan immigrant in the leg after he fled a targeted traffic stop and proceeded to attack the officer, NBC News noted.
The move also comes after a week of unrest following the death of Renee Good, a woman who was shot after she ran her SUV into an ICE agent during a confrontation with officials during immigration enforcement operations in the city.
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) urged U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials to “round up all” of the criminal illegal aliens.
During an interview on Fox News Channel’s The Will Cain Show, Fetterman spoke about the recent shooting in Minneapolis, where Renee Good was fatally shot by an ICE agent. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has claimed that Good “weaponized her vehicle” against ICE agents who were trying to get their vehicle unstuck.
“Round up all the criminals,” Fetterman said. “Deport them. They shouldn’t have ever been here, and they definitely have to go.”
While Fetterman expressed that the incident is “a tragedy,” he pointed out that it is “very clear”
It's no understatement to say that the 2006 documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" changed the direction of public policy. And in fact, that's exactly what failed presidential candidate Al Gore intended the film to do. Fortunately for him, he found a willing audience of Hollywood celebrities and left-wing media outlets to uncritically promote his ideology and activism.
Unfortunately for him, 2006 is now far enough in the past that we can test some of the predictions, claims, and statements of fact he makes in that film. So that's exactly what we did.
