Is It Time to Realign State Borders?
Posted By: Hazymac, 1/15/2026 6:50:45 AM
Let’s pretend you are a liberal living in a red state. If you feel aggrieved about the condition of the world and believe that conservatives are to blame, you can find a few like-minded souls, print up some signs covered in half-clever phrases, and go protest. In most cases, unless you chain yourself to a railing on the courthouse steps or attack the police, you will usually be ignored. On the flip side, let’s pretend you are a conservative living in a deep blue state. If you don’t like the school policy, E.V. mandates, high electricity prices, or restrictive gun laws, and you dare to complain,

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz have been digging themselves a big hole that they may not be able to get out of with their encouragement of anti-ICE action.
They now have President Donald Trump talking about the Insurrection Act, and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche warning the two of them that he's going to hold them accountable for their actions as the anti-ICE violence in Minnesota gets worse. Frey did tell the rioters on Wednesday night to go home - after they'd already been whipped up. That's a bit like closing the barn after the horse has already bolted. (X) "Imagine if your city or town
Everything's coming together for mining in Alaska.
If you've been reading my work for any length of time, you'll be aware of how much I love Alaska. I am in the habit of describing the Great Land with four words: Vast, clean, wild, and free. But Alaska is also loaded with resources, and what's more, Alaska is big enough that we can have our cake and eat it, too; the amount of land taken up by mining and oil/gas development is tiny set against the vastness of this great state.
And now, in part due to the Trump administration's push to open up this treasure chest, mining is poised to make a
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
When Good Men Do Nothing

"It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." ~ Samuel Adams
In case you haven’t noticed, there is currently a “rather irate, tireless minority keen on setting brushfires of communist tyranny” who are making a tremendous amount of noise. This minority is seriously focused on disrupting United States federal agents who are simply doing their job. These evil agents of tyranny are using the principal of which Adams speaks to do harm to the United States of America. The key players in this noise making are paid activists who employ the uninformed useful idiots
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
The Supreme Court held Wednesday that candidates for office can challenge rules governing elections in court.
In a 7-2 decision, the majority held that Republican Illinois Rep. Michael Bost has standing to challenge state rules that allow mail-in ballots to be counted up to 14 days after Election Day.
“Candidates have a concrete and particularized interest in the rules that govern the counting of votes in their elections, regardless whether those rules harm their electoral prospects or increase the cost of their campaigns,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the majority opinion.
“Their interest extends to the integrity of the election — and the democratic process by which they earn or lose the
Happy Thursday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) I came of age politically just as Ronald Reagan was elected president. That kind of thing can give a young conservative a false sense of optimism about the future. Reagan was so much larger than life that he made the whole Republican Party seem stronger for a while. "Seem" is the operative word there. As I was to be reminded repeatedly after Reagan left office, Republicans in Washington all too often behaved like a gathering of jellyfish.
It was almost understandable when the Democrats were in the majority in both the Senate and House. In the ensuing post-Reagan decades, however,

The whining of Jacob Frey
6 replies
inneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey launched a lawsuit against the Trump administration for its faithful enforcement of U.S. immigration law, whining loudly that his city was being unfairly targeted because it was run by Democrats while other cities had higher numbers of illegal aliens. He was scored for it, of course, and just found new way to embarrass his city.
According to the Washington Examiner's editorial page:
During his press conference announcing a suit brought by Minneapolis against the Department of Homeland Security, Mayor Jacob Frey questioned why thousands of immigration enforcement personnel, including agents from both Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol, have been sent to his jurisdiction.
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.
Rachel Maddow likes to play armchair political scientist. Asked by Jimmy Kimmel if she thinks the “peaceful protests” she highlights on her show do any good, Maddow enthusiastically replies, “Yes!” and explains:
In political science terms, there’s what’s called the 3.5% rule which is that if you look at authoritarian regimes of various kinds all over the world over the last like century, once you have 3.5% of a population protesting nonviolently against a dictator or an authoritarian, that is essentially an unstoppable force that they can’t oppose. And that precludes them from consolidating dictatorial power….It’s not that much larger a number than what we are already seeing in
The Quest for PeakStupid

The overlooked value of social media is how it provides people with a global platform for broadcasting rank stupidity. This week’s first contestant in the race to the bottom is Ken Martin, Chair of the Democratic National Committee, who plowed new ground by comparing events in Minnesota to those in -- wait for it -- Iran. That’s right; thousands of Iranians being slaughtered because they want to be free of the mullahs is exactly like one American being killed for trying to run down an ICE agent.
"From Tehran to my birthplace of Minneapolis,” wrote Martin, “people are rising up against systems that wield violence without accountability. In Iran, brave protestors

The Trump-Kennedy Center has ended its exclusive partnership with the Washington National Opera, citing unsustainable financial losses and the desire to open the stage to opera productions from across the United States and the world.
According to an exclusively obtained letter provided by the Trump-Kennedy Center to WNO leadership dated January 13, 2026, and sent via Federal Express, the Trump-Kennedy Center (TKC) made clear that the exclusive relationship with the WNO had become unsustainable. The Center emphasized a commitment to commonsense financial planning, stating, “The Trump Kennedy Center (Center) business plan calls for programs to be net neutral either by corporate contributions, individual donors or sponsorships if the program
The Department of Housing and Urban Development likely paid out more than $84 million in ineligible assistance to Minnesota during President Joe Biden’s final year in office — including to more than 500 “deceased tenants,” according to officials and documents reviewed by The Post.
HUD has been looking into billions of dollars in taxpayer-funded housing aid doled out by the Biden administration — and its most recent review found $84.6 million in potentially erroneous payments in fiscal year 2024.
That included up to $496,000 in improper assistance to 509 dead tenants.
Approximately $246,000 more was shelled out to 20 people whose Social Security numbers couldn’t be verified, meaning they were likely non-citizens.
A China-born US Navy sailor who sold sensitive ship information to the Chinese government under the encouragement of his mother was ordered to spend 16 years in prison on Monday.
Jinchao Wei, 25, was blasted as a “traitor” as he was ordered to spend 200 months behind bars by a federal judge in San Diego for selling national defense information to an intelligence officer working for the People’s Republic of China for $12,000, the Justice Department announced.
“This active-duty US Navy sailor betrayed his country and compromised the national security of the United States,” Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said. Investigators found that Wei was recruited by the Chinese foreign intelligence officer,
Eleven House Democrats jumped party lines to vote with their Republican counterparts in a bid to overturn regulations pushed during former President Joe Biden’s tenure.
According to Fox News, the House of Representatives voted 226-197 to overturn Biden-era regulations effectively aimed at restricting how strong shower heads could be.
Federal law already caps how much water a shower head is allowed to emit. During the Biden administration, regulators took a broader view of that rule. They concluded that showers equipped with multiple nozzles had to be treated as a single unit, meaning the total water flow across all heads could not exceed the legal maximum.
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."
The family of Renee Good, the woman shot by an ICE agent during an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis, has hired the same law firm that represented George Floyd’s relatives.
Chicago-based Romanucci & Blandin announced Wednesday it will represent the parents, siblings and widow of Renee Good, The Hill reported. The firm secured a $27 million settlement for the Floyd family in 2021 after Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin killed Floyd during an arrest.
Good, 37, died on January 7 after ICE agent Jonathan Ross reportedly shot her in south Minneapolis.
When Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro blew off subpoenas issued by Nancy Pelosi’s January 6 committee, refusing to answer questions before a kangaroo court, they received four-month prison sentences, which they both served in their entirety. And, both men suffered serious financial ruin; Navarro revealed that by the end of his trial, he was expecting to spend three-quarters-of-a-million dollars for his defense.
Now, according to a report from Politico, Bill and Hillary Clinton have followed suit, officially refusing to testify before Congress about their respective relationships with Jeffrey Epstein:

A proposal by Washington state Democrats to ban most law enforcement officers from wearing face-concealing masks during public operations is drawing sharp criticism from federal officials, who warn the measure could endanger officers at a time when violence and threats against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are rising dramatically nationwide.
If enacted, Senate Bill 5855 would prohibit local, state, and federal law enforcement officers, including ICE agents, from wearing masks that obscure their identities during public interactions, with limited exceptions for undercover assignments and certain tactical operations. The bill received its first hearing on Tuesday before the Washington Senate Law & Justice Committee.
Justice Samuel Alito was on fire Tuesday during oral arguments in Little v. Hecox and utterly destroyed Kathleen R. Hartnett, the attorney representing a biological male student who wants to play sports on the girls’ team. His questioning cut right through activist jargon and forced the case onto solid legal ground, revealing just how contorted the arguments become when ideology collides with biological reality.
For instance, when transgender activists are asked a simple question — “What is a woman?” — the response is usually a circular word salad claiming that “a woman is anyone who identifies as a woman.” Using a word to define itself explains nothing,
On Wednesday morning, the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor & Pensions held a hearing on the dangers posed by chemical abortion drugs. During the proceedings, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) posed a simple, direct question to Dr. Nisha Verma, a board-certified OB-GYN, who was there as a Democrat witness.
“Dr. Verma, I wasn't sure I understood your answer to Senator Moody a moment ago. Do you think that men can get pregnant?” Hawley asked.
That should have been the most straightforward question in the world to answer. It required no policy analysis, no nuanced debate, no medical jargon. It only needed honesty.
But, instead, we got evasion.
Verma immediately signaled distress, explaining, “I hesitated

In the era of disinformation, obscurantists reject not only scientific evidence but also the progress of multilateralism.... They attack institutions, science, and universities. It is time to once again defeat the denialists." — Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, November 10, 2025.
Get it? Those who disagree with the UN and WEF agendas on climate change, regardless of their scientific credentials, are "denialists" who must be "defeated."The United Nations is trying to control what people can hear, read and think about climate change just when social media companies like Meta are reversing their years-long policy of 'fact-checking,' climate change policy debate—which Meta admits resulted in censorship...
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.
