It looks like things have taken a turn for the better in Minneapolis. Last night, local police did some actual policing. They made arrests of some of the activists hounding ICE and they declared an unlawful assembly at one point. These are things they should have been doing all along but Mayor Frey had pulled them back putting the protesters directly in confrontation with the activists. Now it appears that that Tom Homan, who Trump sent to Minneapolis a few days ago. It looks like Homan and Gov. Walz might have worked out some kind of deal.

The governor and the mayor might be a bit concerned about their names showing up in the evidence of the massive corruption in that state and decided the continued fight with the feds might be a bit unwise. Maybe Homan mentioned that to them.

Once again, Trump was right to let this play out and make Democrats look awful. Lesson ONE: Never, but never, second-guess this President.

I guess arresting 11 is better than nothing. But a crowd of 150 or more was allowed to make a ruckus for 2 hours.

Homan delivered a message to Walz and Frey that they could not refuse. i wonder what he said? Will these guys skate on MN fraud-a-palooza? Time will tell.

Just curious but is the Minneapolis Police Chief elected or appointed/hired into the position? So does he serve the people of Minneapolis or the Mayor? Homan probably told them if they cooperate, they'll receive more federal dollars. Maybe in Trump world everything has a dollar value but somethings cannot be bought - like complying with federal law.

Arresting is a good step in the right direction. But, as in all leftist states, the leftist judges will give them a simple slap on the wrist and they will be back out on the streets -- to be repeated ad nauseam

Thanks to Walz and Fey, Miinneapolis law enforcement alwed itself to be impotent and no threat to ativists on the first day. This show of wreakness energized the activists and those who support them. As for the number of arrests, that is probably the maximum this wimpy MPD can manage.

The mpls police chief has the look of someone who has lost his soul to the mayor and somalis. His spirit is completely gone. Every time I see him I wonder what he says to himself after the news conferences. June 20, 2022 MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - The Minnesota Supreme Court has ordered Minneapolis to immediately hire more police officers or prove why it can't. The city charter gives Mayor Jacob Frey a "clear legal duty" to maintain at least 731 officers in the Minneapolis Police Department, justices wrote in their Monday afternoon order. They returned the case to a Hennepin County judge to handle the details and set a date for the city to provide evidence of its staffing efforts. __----_---------- From google: "As of mid-2025, the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) has approximately 585 to 600 sworn officers, marking the first increase in staffing in several years. ....." "Challenges: The department continues to face high rates of retirement, with nearly a quarter of the force eligible to retire within three years.

As son as ICE leaves town, Frey and Walz and their Antifa thug army will go right back to protecting Somali fraud and illegal alien rapist/murderer/Trafficker/Drug dealers. The military should have been sent in to crush the guerrilla squads Walz, Ellison, Frey and Omar should be in prison

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) riots by Antifa and other activists since June 2025 may have now claimed what could have been the first killing tied to this anti-ICE operation in Portland, following a Friday-night drive-by shooting. Instead of using an actual gun, however, the angry shooter, a woman, used a reported non-lethal BB-type gun and shot at least one right-wing livestreamer in the face and arm multiple times. Others may have been hit as well. Since June 2025, local police have, in effect, stood down as Antifa agitators threatened, rioted, and attacked anyone entering or leaving the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility near downtown Portland.

He added: The Fifth Circuit, the first federal court to address President Trump’s expedited removal efforts, sides with the administration. Illegal aliens may be detained and removed! The 2:1 decision “is a big deal,” said Ilya Shapiro, a lawyer at the Manhattan Institute.

One of the most important things a Republican president can do when they take office is to immediately set out to fulfill important campaign promises, to show the voters who elected them that they meant what they said. This is something Donald Trump did very early on at the start of the 47 era with the implementation of his immigration enforcement agenda. We're a little over a year into his second term in office, and even Trump's staunchest critics would have to agree that the southern border is 100x more secure now than it was when Joe Biden left office. Further, our streets are safer thanks to the immigration enforcement agents

U.S. stocks surged on Feb. 6 in a stunning turnaround that saw the blue-chip Dow soar more than 1,200 points to pierce and close above the 50,000 mark for the first time ever. "The Dow reaching 50,000 is less about celebration and more about confirmation," said Gina Bolvin, president of Bolvin Wealth Management Group, in an email. "Markets have adjusted to higher rates, slower growth, and global uncertainty—and still moved higher. That tells us confidence is real, and 2026 will be less about the (Federal Reserve) and more about fundamentals." After steep losses earlier in the week, investors decided that the sell-off was overdone and returned to the market. A jump

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has made a move to secure the deliberations, private discussions, and working drafts of the court. According to the New York Times, Roberts is requiring all clerks and permanent staff to sign a non-disclosure agreement. The writer writes about this in a hushed tone, as though she is laying out the plot of a murder mystery. But there is nothing mysterious about the erosion of the court's integrity, which points directly to publications like the NYT and POLITICO happily disseminating what is leaked to them.

In yesterday afternoon’s Wall Street Journal Best of the Web column, James Freeman asks the question: “Who watches the ‘ICE watchers’?” The answer to Freeman’s question is Christina Buttons/City Journal. Another answer to the question is not the Star Tribune. That much I can tell you.

Tennessee has roughly 186,000 illegal aliens. California has over 2.2 million. We have absolutely no idea how many Californians are murdered, raped, assaulted, or victimized by illegal aliens, because Gov. Gavin Newsom refuses to track the data or share it with the federal government. It’s allowed Democrats to argue that illegal aliens are less likely to commit crimes than native-born Americans. Only it’s probably not true. Because, unlike California, Tennessee actually tracked its year-to-year illegal alien crime statistics. And what they discovered was shocking and appalling.

The Trump administration is pulling 700 federal agents out of Minnesota, White House border czar Tom Homan announced Wednesday, just over a week after he arrived in the Twin Cities to overhaul an immigration enforcement operation that was facing massive public backlash. An “unprecedented” number of counties have begun informing Immigration and Customs Enforcement when they have an immigration target in custody, allowing ICE agents to collect the individual in the safety of the jail rather than on the street, Homan said. That change, which Homan said was facilitated by Minnesota’s Democratic leaders, will allow ICE to reduce its footprint by nearly 20 percent “effective immediately.” “Given this increase in unprecedented collaboration

The bill passed the House earlier Tuesday on a vote of 217-214, after passing the Senate last week. The legislation will ensure full-year funding for the federal government through the end of September, with the lone exception of the Department of Homeland Security, which is put on a two-week leash as Democrats insist on changes after federal agents fatally shot two Americans in Minneapolis.

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced last week that she “expect more arrests to come” as the Justice Department is poised to crack down on similar anti-ICE insurgencies nationwide.

Respect is nothing more than an abstraction until somebody refuses to show it; that's when symbols clarify moments. Flags matter because they represent authority, sacrifice, and ownership. The World Health Organization (WHO) crossed that line when it decided to keep the United States' flag after President Donald Trump withdrew from the organization. That decision led to a rare action on the world's political stage: Somebody acted. President Trump pulled the U.S. out of the WHO because of decades of mismanagement, compliance with hostile governments, and repeated failures during global health scares. There are consequences resulting from the withdrawal: legal, diplomatic, and symbolic.

Pressley entered Congress after upsetting incumbent Democrat Rep.

And shockingly, they are proud of it. “They’re the first generation in modern history to score lower on standardized academic tests than the one before it,” Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath, 43, told The Post. “And to make matters worse, most of these young people are overconfident about how smart they are. The smarter people think they are, the dumber they actually are. “They underperformed on basically every cognitive measure, from basic attention, memory, literacy, numeracy, executive function and general IQ.”

The attention of those less politically minded is focused on the disappearance of Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy -- always fodder for the would-be Colombos and Miss Marples -- and the Olympics. Yet this week saw some victories for the administration along with some serious unfinished business. The ousted dictator Nicolás Maduro seems isolated, depressed, and devoid of funds sufficient to hire teams of lawyers to defend him. Any claims he might have for immunity seem destined to fail. The evidence establishes he was born in Colombia; his claim falls because only a native Venezuelan is entitled to hold the office of president.

For too long, America’s retirement system has worked for the few, not the many. Wall Street insiders, wealthy elites, and big public pension funds have built wealth via the private markets – private equity, private credit, and real estate. Meanwhile, hardworking Americans are told to stay in their lane. If you work a regular job and save through a 401(k), you are effectively shut out from greater choice and investment access for your well-earned money. That’s not an accident. Elites – like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) – don’t want this change because it erodes their interests and your opportunity for wealth creation.
