ABC Poll Stunner: Americans STILL Trust Trump More Than the Dems — and in Every Category, Too!
https://pjmedia.com/scott-pinsker/2026/02/22/abc-poll-stunner-americans-still-trust-trump-more-than-the-dems-and-in-every-category-too-n4949814
…In 2024, Donald Trump — the thrice-married, twice-impeached, self-aggrandizing billionaire — won a landslide electoral victory over his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump didn’t win because he’s perfect; yet again, perfect wasn’t on the menu. He won because he was the better option…the qualities that make him so appealing often come with a cost. He’s a man with rough edges…More than any politician in recent memory, polling almost always exaggerates Trump’s weakness and underplays his strength, leading to “surprised Pikachu” faces on Election Day. Part of the reason is the MAGAverse’s distrust of pollsters, but it runs deeper than that.

Everyday transactions now require cameras, locks, and scrutiny. Each change makes sense on its own. But in aggregate, they reveal a society reorienting itself around distrust. Zahra Sethna from Collapse Life just returned from a trip to London and shared a jarring sign on the side of the road in super-wealthy Mayfair prohibiting open defecation in a doorway…There was a time not long ago when people went into Pret a Manger, the popular British café chain, for a sandwich and a coffee and were expected not to shoplift or assault a staff member. Now Pret has taken to having staff wear body cameras, as a quiet technological solution to a growing problem of worker safety and theft…

The actions of the Biden White House have sparked ongoing controversy. They targeted Donald Trump and have become increasingly hostile toward Attorney General Merrick Garland for not acting swiftly on political matters. Their Justice Department has investigated pro-life activists, searched their homes, and those who posted anti-Biden memes. If Trump had done the same, it would have been a multi-week story. Additionally, Reuters reports that FBI Director Kash Patel and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles’ phone records were seized during investigations led by ex-Special Counsel Jack Smith

https://vineofliberty.com/2026/02/26/disgusted/
Tuesday’s State of the Union address had so many disgusting moments that my stomach is still churning…The Democrats were just wrong…Every Democrat at the State of the Union was disrespectful; some stepped over the line into “unsportsman like behavior”, I’m looking at the Muslim twins and Al Green, but there were more…The Democrats are consumed with so much hate that they can’t show any love for our country…The next time there is a Democrat as president, I know I will be hearing about how I need to respect the office of the president. That I shouldn’t say disrespectful things about the person who occupies the Oval Office. And when I point out how they treated President Trump and then President Vance, they will tell me “That’s different.”

Left-Wing Lawfare Hijacking Courts to Overrule Voters
https://amac.us/newsline/politics/report-left-wing-lawfare-hijacking-courts-to-overrule-voters/
A new report from the Alliance for Consumers (AFC) reveals how left-wing legal activists have hijacked America’s courts, converting them into a “parallel lawmaking apparatus” that imposes policy mandates through litigation rather than legislation… restoring the proper role of courts requires recognizing that lawfare has become a systematic effort to accomplish through litigation what activists could not secure at the ballot box. It is time for the other branches of government to fulfill their constitutional role of acting as a check on that abuse of power.

Rahman of Minneapolis, MN, was arrested for D.C. Code §10-503.16 – Unlawful Conduct, Disruption of Congress.”

Unfeminism. – or How I discovered that I’m not One Of Them.

I deem myself to be feminine, and not just because I wear dresses most days. I am feminine in the ways God made me to be. I’m also rocking my feet of clay, so I remember to seek His wisdom, even if I am flawed in my follow-through, and despite my mistakes of the past. I am for people, and for the best and highest purpose of our kind.

Wild LI (Long Island) geezer built basement shooting range and staggering gun lab — just steps from Chaminade High School: DA

Wild LI geezer built basement shooting range and staggering gun lab — just steps from Chaminade High School: DA

A crazy Long Island geezer allegedly transformed his basement into a makeshift shooting range equipped with an incredible arsenal of self-built machine guns, including a “weapon of mass killing” — set just steps away from several schools. 

Wen-Lone Chou, 67, operated a sprawling suburban gun lab inside his Mineola home down the road from Chaminade High School, a Mineola school soccer field and a nearby elementary school — that was fit with a 25-foot-long DIY shooting range in his basement, prosecutors alleged.

After a year-long, multi-agency probe, cops arrested Chou Wednesday after rifling through his home, where they discovered a staggering cache of firepower.

“What’s even more terrifying — this illegal, dangerous activity was happening steps away from several schools,” Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly told reporters Thursday.

Police uncovered 10 mostly illegal guns, including seven assault-style rifles, a home-assembled fully automatic MP5-style weapon, a 9mm ghost gun with illegal parts, 78 high-capacity magazines — some stashed in Chou’s ceiling — along with six suppressors, roughly 6,000 rounds of ammo, and a rapid-fire switch capable of turning rifles into machine guns.

The only legal weapon in the home was an old bolt-action hunting rifle, Donnelly said.

Investigators also uncovered five completed lower frames — which are handgun and AR-style platforms awaiting additional components to be completed — along with parts capable of assembling yet another MP5-style firearm and even turning his AR-style weapons into a fully automatic killing machine.

After a year-long, multiagency investigation, authorities searched inside Chou’s home on Feb. 25, where cops came across a staggering cache of firepower.Brandon Cruz / NYPost

“[Chou] had all the components to assemble an actual machine gun,” Donnelly said.

“This tiny item right here can effectively turn these firearms into machine guns,” she added, holding up the small metal “switch” device prosecutors said can transform a semi-automatic rifle into a full auto weapon.

“It makes an already deadly weapon, a weapon of mass killing.”

But what truly stunned authorities was what they said was hidden below Chou’s house — a fully functioning 25-foot underground firing tunnel, with the walls lined with blue tarps to contain debris and sound, and a four-inch-thick plywood target riddled with rounds. 

Chou used suppressors while firing in his tunnel so neighbors and children across the street wouldn’t hear the shots ring out, authorities alleged.

The probe launched in January 2025, after Chou was flagged as an alleged frequent online buyer of gun parts from multiple retailers — purchasing roughly 112 firearm-related components over the course of the prior year, according to prosecutors.

“This kind of purchasing pattern is an immediate red flag for our law enforcement,” Donnelly said.

Authorities also learned that Chou’s Nassau County pistol permit had been revoked in 1999 following a domestic incident, though he has no prior arrests — raising even more concern as investigators tracked what they described as an escalating pattern of purchases.

“What’s even more terrifying — this illegal, dangerous activity was happening steps away from several schools,” Nassau County DA Anne Donnelly told reporters Thursday. Brandon Cruz for NYPost

Prosecutors are (trying to) determining whether Chou was simply a gun enthusiast who went wildly overboard or if there was a more sinister motive.

There is no evidence, so far, that he sold the weapons or was actively plotting an attack, authorities said.

What do you think? Be the first to comment.

Chou pleaded not guilty in Hempstead court on Thursday. His bail was set at $250,000 cash, $625,000 bond or $1.25 million partially secured, and he was ordered to surrender his passport.

If convicted, he faces up to 15 years in prison.

Trump Isn’t Starting a War, He’s Ending One

Trump’s decision to strike Iran hasn’t started a “forever war.” He’s attempting to end one. Nothing good would have come had we retreated. The Iranian-led war of terror against the West would have resume, more confident and more brazen. The world would be a worse place, and a lot more innocent people would die. That’s not an opinion. That’s an indisputable fact.

∙Strategically: Long overdue, and necessary for world stabilization and American interests.
∙Politically: I’m sure the oppo party on Congress is tuning up their shrieking, but given that they shriek about literally every-bloody-thing — no matter how small or insignificant — that the current Oval Office occupant does … ok.
∙Legally: I don’t know — and neither does anyone with a fresh degree in Legal Studies or International Strategic Studies from Google U. I would surmise that a man with access to the finest legal minds in the country probably has pretty firmly crossed his ‘t’s and dotted his ‘i’s, but we won’t know for a bit.
∙Personally: Kill as many of the mullahs as you want. Matter of fact kill all of them. Send the souls of every mullah, basiji, and IRGC thug — from highest to the least — shrieking into the bottomless dark, and bury their bodies in the cesspits where they belong.

Three weeks in England and Ireland: signs of unmistakable strain
https://www.collapselife.com/p/reflections-on-a-trip-to-england-and-ireland
Surveillance at the airport, labor shortages in villages, decay in Mayfair. The incremental signs of collapse were seen on a recent international trip. On the surface, everything functioned. Flights ran on time, shops were open, and restaurants and pubs were full of people. But on closer inspection, a few things began to come into view: ∙Travel gatekeeping through electronic travel authorization requiring a phone app and face scan. ∙New homes that restrict wood stoves in damp winter climates. ∙Labor shortages that make basic jobs nearly impossible to hire out. ∙A “no open defecation” sign in one of London’s wealthiest districts. None of these things alone screams collapse, but in the aggregate, they suggest incremental change and the tightening of systems that once felt frictionless.

8-year-old Maddox Livingston was pulled over by New Roads, Louisiana police on earlier this month for a headlight and license plate lights that were burned out. The traffic stop took a turn, however, when Livingston informed officers that he was exercising his right to carry and had a pistol with him. An office ran the gun’s serial number and told Livingston that it had been reported stolen in Florida. Soon the young man was in handcuffs and on his way to the local jail. There was just one problem: the gun wasn’t stolen, and the officer didn’t check the gun’s serial number. Instead, he ran the pistol’s patent number, which allegedly triggered the false flag.

Asymmetrical warfare means applying the strengths you have against an overwhelming enemy’s weaknesses. The goat sex pest mullahs have been utterly humiliated by America’s and Israel’s overwhelming military superiority in conventional forces…that doesn’t mean that they don’t have the capacity to strike back, and that doesn’t mean that we don’t have potential weaknesses. Everybody has weaknesses. Ours is located in the United States itself, our homeland, where we’re at. It’s already happening on a small scale, with open immigration poster child Ngdiaga Diagne shooting up a bar in Texas for Allah. We’re vulnerable here, and you are potentially on the front line of this war…What’s our vulnerability? Civilians, normal Americans, who Iranian proxy terrorists could murder in heaps…Iranian jihadis are not superstars, and they’re not super-geniuses. They are cunning and relatively competent at times in doing what they do, and what they do best is attack innocent civilians… it is not unreasonable to assume that the Iranian Republican Guard Corps has infiltrated sleeper cells into the United States. Once activated, they have the potential to go on a murder spree unparalleled in American history…Just remember that the killers don’t have to be Iranian. They can be from Chechnya, Egypt, Afghanistan, Turkistan, or some other random -stan. The Iranians aren’t picky about who they work with….Time to be ready. Time to be armed.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps the department responsible for unconventional warfare, foreign intelligence, and “covert extraterritorial operations” is the Quds Force…the Quds Force is best thought of as the result if you took a dash of wish-dot-com CIA, a smidgen of Temu JSOC, a hefty dose of inshallah, a giant glug of Twelver fanaticism, and ran it all through an absentee Russian blender…The Quds Force runs paramilitary training camps for Budding Young Terrorists, sets up weapons factories for militias and terrorist groups, manages mullah bank accounts in China, dabbles in the drug trade, recruits terror cells, and the occasional Direct Action…the Quds Force’s worldview, the world is divided into four Command Centres, and another six “Corps”. Guess who’s in the Ninth Corps of the Sepah-e Qods?…“North America”…There are most certainly IRGC-QF cells in the United States….the Quds Force is better at winding up Useful Idiots and turning them loose…Yes, they’re here. Look for a minor uptick in Islamicist violence until they get turfed off to the Choir Eternal, rounded up by the authorities, or bugger-off on their own.

Ilhan Omar’s SOTU guest is exactly who you would expect
https://www.bizpacreview.com/2026/02/24/ilhan-omars-sotu-guest-is-exactly-who-you-would-expect-1623914/
Plans for political theater at President Donald Trump’s State of the Union found one congresswoman inviting anti-ICE activists, including past detainees, as she “celebrates criminals.” Whether it be color-coordinated attire, message-bearing paddles, speech-shredding or cane-waving grandstanding, nationally televised joint addresses to Congress are treated by Democrats as opportunities for political stunts. As her state is embroiled in fraud scandals, including from her own Somali community, Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar (D) sees fit to get in on the performance with guest invites that include a woman who is the subject of a viral video for allegedly impeding ICE. Ahead of the Tuesday night address, Fox News congressional correspondent Bill Melugin highlighted, “Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) announces two guests she is bringing to President Trump’s SOTU speech tomorrow night were detained by ICE in Minnesota, including a woman seen in a viral video being pulled out of her car by federal agents after they say she blocked traffic.”

Deception, Lying and Taqiyya – Does Islam permit Muslims to lie?
Muslim scholars teach that Muslims should generally be truthful to each other… unless the purpose of lying is to “smooth over differences” or “gain the upper hand over an enemy.” There are several forms of lying to non-believers that are permitted under certain circumstances, the best known being taqiyya (the Shia name). These circumstances are typically those that advance the cause of Islam, in some cases by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them. – https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/quran/taqiyya.aspx – jlr)

Sales-Tax Escalator
https://www.city-journal.org/article/state-sales-tax-cost-inflation
The one tax that has never provoked a significant revolt keeps climbing higher…as inflation surged, few politicians targeted one of the most direct and controllable costs they impose on everyday purchases: the sales tax. Unlike property and income taxes, which have periodically provoked revolts, sales taxes have rarely faced organized political opposition. That helps explain why they are the one major tax category whose rates have risen almost continuously over the past century. Taken together, general sales taxes and selective sales taxes—special levies on goods such as cigarettes or rental cars—now constitute the largest source of revenue raised by state and local governments.

ENVIRONMENTAL CATASTROPHE: Massive BILLION Gallon Sewage Spill in Potomac River One of Largest in Nation’s History in Democrat-Run Maryland
https://gellerreport.com/2026/02/environmental-catastrophe-massive-billion-gallon-sewage-spill-in-potomac-river-one-of-largest-in-nations-history-in-democrat-run-maryland.html/
A massive sewage spill that began January 19 after the collapse of the Potomac Interceptor sewer line near Cabin John, Maryland, has released hundreds of millions of gallons of raw sewage into the Potomac River — potentially making it the largest wastewater spill in U.S. history. Previous records stood at 143 million gallons, but estimates now suggest the total could approach 1 billion gallons before the crisis is contained.
DC and Maryland Democrats are STILL pumping raw sewage directly into waterways leading to the Potomac River, with NO end in sight.

Cawthon: 2A Supporters Need Results Before Midterms
https://bearingarms.com/tomknighton/2026/02/19/cawthon-2a-supporters-need-results-before-midterms-n1231615
The current Congress can’t pass gas, let alone any pro-2A legislation. The Supreme Court seems to be content to smile benignly on lower courts’ defiance of its decisions. The burden of inspiring pro-2A voters to show up at the polls falls squarely on President Trump, the actions of his administration, and the efforts of pro-gun groups and gun owners to persuade them to get back on track…If Republicans want the gun vote, they need to earn it. They need to stop endorsing anti-gun Republicans like Tony Gonzales while trying to keep a vehemently pro-gun Brandon Herrera out of office, just to name one example. Especially because Brandon doesn’t cheat on his wife with staffers who later self-immolate. Allegedly.

you may have your river water more, um, feces-enriched than before thanks to the failure of the Potomac Interceptor rupture. Sure, the sewage pipe’s failure is so massive that the media is calling it the “Pooptomac” disaster…Sure, aging infrastructure is apparently to blame for the disaster, which has led to the spillage of roughly 240 million gallons of untreated sewage flowing into the Potomac River — the biggest spill in U.S. history…But cheer up: DC Water, the authority that controls the pipeline, has less white guys than it used to! Doesn’t that make you feel better? E. coli for racial justice, that’s what I always say.

It Begins: Major Defense Contractor Bails on Virginia Just One Month Into Spanberger’s Term
https://redstate.com/terichristoph/2026/02/19/boeing-bails-on-virginia-just-one-month-into-spanbergers-term-n2199339
We are just one month and two days into Democrat Abigail Spanberger’s tenure as governor of Virginia, and businesses have already begun fleeing the commonwealth after seeing the writing on the wall…Boeing announced Wednesday that it would be relocating its Defense, Space and Security headquarters from Arlington, Virginia, to its previous longtime home in St. Louis, Missouri…We’ve seen this movie before. Democrats take over a state, pass all kinds of taxes and regulations that are onerous to both businesses and residents alike, and the mass migration from said state begins. California comes to mind, and, indeed, Spanberger and her fellow Democrats have made quick work of turning Virginia into the California of the East.

President Trump’s D.C. Crime Task Force Surpasses 10,000 Arrests, Murders Down 68% Since August Launch
https://istandforfreedom.com/trumps-crime-task-force/
The Make D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force has now surpassed 10,000 arrests since its August 2025 launch, and over 1,000 illegal firearms have been pulled from the streets. Murders have plummeted 68 percent compared to the same period last year, robberies are down 47 percent, and violent crime overall has dropped 31 percent…Additionally, the task force has also recovered 19 missing children. Among those arrested were the teenagers allegedly responsible for killing 21-year-old congressional intern Eric Tarpinian-Jachym last June—shot while walking near the D.C. Convention Center in a bullet meant for someone else.

Mamdani Told New Yorkers How He Felt About the Police, Now He’s Showing Them
https://redstate.com/beckynoble/2026/02/19/mamdani-told-new-yorkers-how-he-felt-about-the-police-now-hes-showing-them-n2199338
Zohran Mamdani has made no secret about his feelings about New York’s finest. His campaign platform included creating a Department of Community Safety. This Department would “prevent violence before it happens by prioritizing solutions which have been consistently shown to improve safety.”…None of this should come as a surprise to New Yorkers. Zohran Mamdani clearly stated who he was and what he wanted to do if elected mayor. Now he is doing it. The problem is that Mamdani, like a good socialist, no doubt read every book on socialism there is, and all of them said that taxing the rich would work. What they left out was the part about the rich being able to pack up and head to friendlier financial climates. What does he do then?…Let’s review: no snow removal, no trash pickup, defunding the police (let’s be honest, that’s what it is), taxing the rich, and when the rich leave, hiking property taxes. In case you had not figured it out yet, New York, it could be a long four years for you.

U.S. Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) isn’t bowing down to Democrats who are demanding that he be punished for expressing his preference for dogs over Muslims and plans to introduce a new bill as a middle finger to his critics. Congressional Dems have spent much of the week raging against the Florida Republican over his response to a New York City Muslim activist who opined that dogs are “unclean” and don’t belong indoors, a key belief of the Islamic faith, but one that is just downright un-American…“Republican leaders must hold this so-called Member of Congress accountable,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said in a statement. “Political violence, xenophobia, and hate crimes against the Muslim community are on the rise. House Democrats will not let the racist and bigoted behavior of Randy Fine go unchecked. Accountability is coming to all of these sick extremists when the gavels change hands in November, if not sooner.”

Susan Rice’s Terrifying Vow If Democrats Take Back Power

Several prominent Democrats have been open and vocal about their plans to punish members of the Trump administration, including civilian ICE agents, if they regain power. Eric Swalwell has vowed to make ICE agents’ lives a living hell if he’s elected governor of California, Rep. Shri Thanedar said Dems will prosecute ICE and Border Patrol agents, as has Philly DA Larry Krasner, and Mehdi Hasan wants the next Democratic president to run on a platform of prosecuting conservatives. Now Suan Rice, the former Obama National Security Advisor and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, as promised that Democrats will punish those who “bent the knee” to President Trump…”When it comes to the elites, the corporate interests, the law firms, the universities, the media…it is not going to end well for them, for those that decided…that they would act in their perceived very narrow self interest,” Rice said, “which I would underscore is a very short-term self-interest and take a knee to Trump.”

Bernie Sanders Dismisses Wealthy California Exodus, Then Proposes National Wealth Tax
https://americanjournaldaily.com/sanders-california-cnn/
There was a time when the American dream had a specific destination: California. It was the land of golden opportunity, where innovation and ambition could build empires under the sun. That California, however, is a distant memory, something you’d see in a black-and-white movie. That California is gone, replaced by a cautionary tale—a real-time experiment in what happens when radical progressive policies run amok. The results are as predictable as they are tragic. A quiet, steady exodus of the very citizens who once made the state thrive is underway. Job creators, innovators, and families are packing their bags for states that still value economic liberty. This flight of capital isn’t a mystery; it’s a rational response to a state that has chosen to punish success. But for the architects of that decline, the truth is a bitter pill. For proof, look no further than socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders. He recently revealed the left’s stunning hypocrisy, and you almost have to see it to believe it…What they are saying to the people of California is, it doesn’t matter to us, we’re billionaires, and we’re getting richer and richer, and if children die because they can’t get to a doctor, tough luck. We have the power, California, and we are going to punish you… And by the way, that is why I will be introducing a national wealth tax. Where are they going to run then?
(out of the country to money safe havens overseas. Taking their money, and the jobs they provided to US citizens, with them – jlr)
Key Takeaways
∙Senator Sanders’ reaction reveals the Left’s deep-seated emotional fragility when their policies fail.
∙Socialist policies inevitably drive away success, leaving states poorer and more desperate.
∙The Left uses emotional blackmail, inventing motives to avoid debating economic facts.
∙The ultimate goal of a national wealth tax is control, not prosperity—a cage, not a solution.

NYC Opens First ‘Free Grocery Store,’ But It Isn’t What Residents Think
https://americanjournaldaily.com/nyc-free-store-socialism/
It’s the oldest grift in the progressive playbook: the siren song of “free.” They promise a utopian fantasy where the government handles every need, somehow magically exempt from the basic laws of economics. They paint a glorious picture of a benevolent state where no one wants for anything, all provided by the stroke of a bureaucrat’s pen. Spoiler alert: it never, ever works…That’s not a dispatch from crumbling, socialist Venezuela. That was the scene in the West Village of New York City, where a so-called “free grocery store” devolved into a vortex of predictable chaos. The images of desperate citizens lining up before dawn, the rationing of tickets, and guards barking at disappointed Americans to “go home” is the inevitable conclusion of any system built on handouts. And there you have it. That’s socialism in a nutshell. When a resource is declared “free,” it is instantly made worthless and scarce. The system doesn’t reward the most needy; it rewards the first, the fastest, or the most aggressive, creating a frantic scramble that turns neighbors into rivals. As one man named Sherrod said after being denied, “I couldn’t get no more food.” This is the cold equation of collectivism: a promise of plenty that delivers only anxiety, conflict, and, ultimately, starvation.

Iran Preparing for War With US
https://gellerreport.com/2026/02/iran-preparing-for-war-with-us.html/
Iran’s leaders are talking about a nuclear deal with the U.S., but they are also rushing to prepare for war in case talks between the countries fail. Tehran is deploying its forces, dispersing decision-making authority, fortifying its nuclear sites, and expanding its crackdown on domestic dissent. The moves reflect its leaders’ belief that the survival of the regime itself is at stake…. Iran has also been conducting work at its nuclear sites to better protect them from strikes, according to satellite imagery published and analyzed by the Institute for Science and International Security, a think tank based in Washington. The satellite images show that Tehran has been hardening and strengthening tunnel entrances at its Isfahan site—where Iran is believed to have kept much of its highly enriched uranium and which was heavily damaged by U.S. and Israeli attacks last June—and at a deep underground tunnel complex in what is known as Pickaxe Mountain
(Iran Preparing for War With US: WHY? – 1) They need an internal distraction from the freedom uprising and a reason for the military mobilization, which is being used to try to shut down the uprising. 2) They need to coverup the continuing murder of 1000s of demonstrating citizens – they will be shown, on TV, as killed by US bombing – jlr)

A former senior White House official openly promising an “accountability agenda” against corporations, law firms, and universities that “took a knee to Trump.” She’s not talking policy disagreements. She’s talking about punishing Americans for the unforgivable sin of supporting a democratically elected president.

…What particularly got their goat was Hegseth bench-pressing. What really got them was his pressing 315 pounds. It was nearly a metaphor for Hegseth’s career. He faltered. He almost failed to make it. But when it counted, he succeeded.

The Daily Beast outdid itself in being the most shameful outlet. Hegseth had filmed himself lifting before the Fort Campbell event with his teenage son spotting for him. The headline of their story is Pentagon Pete Berates Son Gunner for Nearly Ruining Publicity Stunt.
The bottom line is that Hegseth is building a bond with the rank and file unlike any Secretary of War/Defense in our history. He’s showing them that he can walk the walk he’s imposing on them. He’s laying down a marker for their bosses, because if SecWar presses 315, you can bet there will be pressure on lots of colonels and generals to be seen lifting weights at the gym. The services are recovering the professionalism destroyed by Lloyd Austin, and the cultural rot is being excised. The competence of the military makes Hegseth immune from attacks in that quarter, so the left has to find something else. And this is the crap they come up with: lying and mocking Heseth for lifting weights with the troops, when most of the critics would be hard-pressed to do a single rep of push-away-from-the-table, much less lift the plates. They do it because it is all they have left.

CDC Scientists Engineer New Chimeric Frankenvirus Combining Nipah Virus Fusion Protein With Paramyxovirus Backbone: Journal ‘npj Vaccines’​
https://jonfleetwood.substack.com/p/cdc-scientists-engineer-new-chimeric
Some constructs 100% fatal in mammals.​..A new peer-reviewed study reports that government scientists genetically engineered a live paramyxovirus chimera that acquired new membrane-fusion, host-cell interaction, and immunological functions derived from Nipah virus, according to the paper’s methods and results.The move comes as NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya recently stated that such experiments were not being performed under the Trump administration. “Nowhere in the United States Government will we invest in a project that poses a risk of catastrophic harm to the American people ever again,”

Liberal Judges Declare Themselves President
https://amac.us/newsline/politics/liberal-judges-declare-themselves-president/
Rogue federal judges are no longer content trying to thwart President Donald Trump’s agenda with absurd rulings and nationwide injunctions—now they are actually trying to appoint personnel to the executive branch against the chief executive’s wishes. The latest incident happened in upstate New York, where federal judges swore in a prosecutor of their choosing as U.S. attorney. Within hours, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche responded with the constitutional equivalent of a rolled-up newspaper, posting “Judges don’t pick U.S. Attorneys, @POTUS does. See Article II of our Constitution. You are fired.”

Virginia Takes Aim at the Constitution

Yet another bill adding Virginia to the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC), which Spanberger is soon expected to sign into law, is potentially just as damaging – not only to Virginia’s Constitution, but the U.S. Constitution as well.

The American Immigration Lawyers Association also complained about detention policy during the High Holy Reign of Saint Barack the Lightbringer: “The Obama administration’s massive expansion of family detention began in the summer of 2014 and will incarcerate thousands of asylum-seeking children and mothers who are fleeing extreme violence in the Northern Triangle region of Central America (Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador) this year. This practice is a due process and humanitarian disaster and must end.”…We could just have normal policy debate, again, but first we would apparently need to medicate about a third of the population.

Mexico Explodes: It’s Now Open War Between Cartels, Mexican Military
https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/02/23/mexico-explodes-its-now-open-war-between-cartels-mexican-military-president-flees-n2199453
The United States is now in the interesting position of having a failed narco-state on our southern border, wherein the cartels, enriched by drugs and human trafficking, are directly taking on the Mexican military and the Mexican government. They appear to have set the civil authorities back on their heels, and now the Mexican military is involved. The country has descended into chaos. The cartels have some serious military hardware to bring to bear, and it would be shocking if they don’t have some former military in their ranks – or, worse, current military.

Americans Ordered To Shelter in Place in Mexico Amid Cartel Violence After Kingpin’s Death
https://americanjournaldaily.com/mexico-usa-rubio-americans/
We’ve all seen the glossy travel brochures, right? The ads promise turquoise water, warm sand, and an easy escape just across the border. Places like Cancun and Puerto Vallarta are peddled as idyllic paradises where hardworking Americans can finally relax. We’re constantly told that Mexico is our friend, a partner we can trust. Spoiler alert: it’s a lie. The entire image is a carefully constructed fantasy. Beneath the surface of all-inclusive resorts is a brutal, narco-terrorist state waging a war it has no control over. This is a war that doesn’t care about tourist seasons or international borders. For thousands of Americans who bought the sales pitch, the dream evaporated this weekend when our own government had to issue a startling warning.
“Due to ongoing, widespread security operations and related road blockages and criminal activity in many areas of Mexico, U.S. citizens should shelter in place until further notice. Roadblocks have impacted airline operations, with some domestic & int’l flights canceled in both Guadalajara & Puerto Vallarta. Taxis/ride shares are suspended in Puerto Vallarta. Seek shelter and remain in residences or hotels.”
Key Takeaways:
∙Mexico’s government is incapable of controlling the violent cartels operating within its borders.
∙The chaos in Mexican tourist hubs is a direct preview of the threat posed by an unsecured border.
∙An America First policy of securing our own border is the only real solution to this threat.
∙The cartels are a paramilitary force, not just criminals, and must be treated as such.

The country makes it nearly impossible for average citizens to legally own firearms for self-defense, though several states have seen the rise of community self-defense groups who are arming themselves with illegally obtained guns, including AR-15s and other semiautomatic rifles.

Before Sharia In America

And secondly, look at the description, “Mohammed, founder of Islam, with the sword and the Koran, symbols of his faith.”…I went and checked my World Book (hardcover) Encyclopedia from 2001 (pre-911) and was shocked to find that the crime of whitewashing and propaganda was already in full practice.

BIG WIN: Supreme Court Upholds Trump’s Use of Alien Enemies Act
https://gellerreport.com/2025/04/big-win-supreme-court-upholds-trumps-use-of-alien-enemies-act.html/
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the Trump administration, allowing the use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport alleged members of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang. This decision overturns a previous order that had temporarily blocked these deportations. The ruling is seen as a significant victory for the administration’s immigration policies, though it was a narrow 5-4 decision with Justice Amy Coney Barrett joining the dissent. The case remains ongoing, with further litigation expected despite the Supreme Court’s ruling.

It will not comply with a federal court order demanding due process for 252 Venezuelan migrants deported to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador last March under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act. The Justice Department made that position clear in a new filing, setting up a collision course with U.S. District Judge James Boasberg and a near-certain return to the Supreme Court…The Trump administration views the current legal fight as an extension of that same presidential authority enjoyed by Barack Obama. It sees Boasberg and other judges issuing immigration orders as rogue actors seeking to seize control of enforcement policy from the executive branch.

Ian, what is “Guano-psychosis”? – And “Guano-psychotics”

“Guano-psychosis” is an articulate turn of phrase that I wish I could claim to have invented, but I didn’t. I will, however, claim “guano-psychotics”. It is a delicious and evocative bit of word-smithing that I first ran across somewhere on social media, and it was so eloquent that it immediately stuck in my mind. “But, Ian,” I hear you say, “What is guano-psychosis?” – Good question. It is, of course, a more polite way to say “bat-[deleted] crazy”, but I tend to use it in a more direct, more focussed sense.

Yes, part of that is the gun control. That’s high up on the agenda for any anti-gun Democratic majority, and it’ll absolutely happen the next time they get enough authority at the federal level. While Republicans aren’t exactly tripping over themselves to engage in bipartisanship, the reality is that anti-gun Democrats routinely walk in and start legislating away people’s gun rights, absolutely sure that they’ll hold a permanent majority.

Why should we in the preparedness community care about the lack of interest in preparedness from our fellow citizens? A few reasons come to mind:…Given this, we need to be taking further action to ready ourselves for the fact others aren’t prepared and will likely react poorly during the next crisis. I will tell you I didn’t handle this part of the pandemic well; the incessant calls, emails and texts requesting assistance and criticizing me for not “doing more to help others” took its toll. Which is why need to ready ourselves for this societal pressure and angst which will follow. Some ideas on how to do that follow…Do not underestimate the impact the actions, comments and mindsets of our fellow citizens will have on society during the next crisis. I can tell you from personal experience those things impacted me during the pandemic far more than anything else. I didn’t manage it well; I will do better the next time. I hope you will as well.

https://gellerreport.com/2026/02/virginia-loudoun-county-trains-staff-to-fight-terrorist-parents-casting-parents-as-violent-threats.html/
Democrat government are at war against we, the people. After a student’s death, the Loudoun County School Board staged a closed-door “terrorism” drill portraying parents as violent agitators while excluding the public… a closed-door meeting for school board members and staff only. The subject of the meeting? Responding to “terrorist activity” at school board meetings. According to multiple sources who were in the room but requested we not identify them, the terrorism training involved dozens of actors, brought in by the school board, to act as Loudoun County parents. Those pretend “parents” sat in the gallery in the school board meeting room as actual families normally would. In this training, one of the parents has a gun. The actors were screaming and yelling and running around the room, witnesses said. School board members and staff were instructed to “run, hide, and fight,” much the same as training provided to students in the event of an active shooter scenario. Again, according to 7News sources, Chandler referred to parents as “disrupters” and “agitators” as she recalled school board meetings last year which many parents attended to speak up in support of three boys who were being investigated by the district in a case centered around policy allowing students to use the bathroom and locker room that matches their chosen gender identity, rather than their biological sex.

Democrats are Desperate to Win the Midterms — Because They’re Losing Power

…the 2030 Census, a structural political realignment is quietly but relentlessly taking shape… not being driven by campaign slogans or cable news theatrics, but by population movement, economic performance, and policy outcomes that are increasingly difficult to ignore…these forces are placing Democrats on the brink of a profound loss of electoral power in the 2030s, one that could permanently reshape the national political map.

Dems now flip-flopping on ICE bodycams they demanded
https://www.bizpacreview.com/2026/02/10/dems-now-flip-flopping-on-ice-bodycams-they-demanded-1621238/
Democrats will never be satisfied, and now the party is flip-flopping on one of their key requests for cooperating on Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding – bodycams for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents…“Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) demanded…things have now changed amid concerns that the push for bodycams could backfire, and Schumer and company are walking it back, insisting that restrictions be placed on their use, which some fear will be used to enhance the surveillance capability of federal immigration enforcement…Dems made it clear that they want the body cams but also called for “mandate requirements

Democrats Flip-Flop On ICE Agents And Body Cameras
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/democrats-flip-flop-ice-agents-and-body-cameras
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries sent a letter to Republican leadership calling for sweeping reforms at the Department of Homeland Security before funding expires on Feb. 13. The letter outlined ten “guardrails” for DHS, including the demand that ICE agents wear body cameras when interacting with the public…the use of body cameras by ICE agents has bipartisan support. Even President Donald has voiced support for body cameras, pointing out that they “generally tend to be good for law enforcement because people can’t lie about what’s happening.”…Days later, Democrats reversed course after left-wing privacy advocates raised “concerns” about body cameras becoming a mass surveillance tool. Democrats now fear the technology could feed video of protesters into facial recognition systems, allowing ICE to identify and track demonstrators. “Obviously, we want them to be wearing body cameras, but we would want restrictions placed on what that information could be used for,”…“We want to make sure that we have the accountability for how these officers conduct themselves on the streets of our country, but we don’t want it in turn to be used as a way of coming back and suppressing free speech.”…Democrats went from demanding body cameras for accountability and transparency to proposing legislation that would limit their use within days. The shift suggests Democrats may have realized that body camera footage could work in favor of ICE agents rather than against them. Video evidence from encounters like the Good shooting has already shown that footage can exonerate officers and contradict activist narratives. If body cameras protect agents from false claims…the technology undermines the broader effort to obstruct immigration enforcement operations. That may explain why Democrats are suddenly claiming concern about surveillance and privacy, concerns that were notably absent when they first demanded the cameras.

Lawmakers Overwhelmingly Pass Bipartisan Bill, Dealing with Top Trump Campaign Promise
https://www.westernjournal.com/lawmakers-overwhelmingly-pass-bipartisan-bill-dealing-top-trump-campaign-promise/
The sweeping housing package voted on Monday, passed by a whopping 390-9 margin. — the “Housing for the 21st Century Act” — is designed to boost the nation’s supply of affordable homes. The proposal pulls together several strategies, from encouraging more multifamily construction to allowing taller buildings on smaller pieces of land. It also pushes states and local governments to loosen permitting rules that often slow or block new projects. The bill would create a new pilot program within the Department of Housing and Urban Development to offer grants for developing “pattern books” of pre-approved home designs. These designs would already meet local building codes, making it easier and faster for communities to move projects forward.

But the uber-rich aren’t the only ones relocating for more favorable conservative policies – millions of everyday people are as well.
(The PROBLEM with liberals moving to conservative states is that they bring their liberal values and wants with them, rather than leaving them where they came from. They sell the home that they bought 30 years ago for $50K for $3.5M move to a conservative area, find out undeveloped land is CHEAP and taxes are LOW, buy acreage outside of cities or towns, on on a dirt road, only to find out undevloped mean exactly that – no water, no electric, no hard line phone and maybe no cell connection either, no cable TV, road not paved, no munipal trash pickup, long response times for emergency services, farm animals, few fences, and wild animals. They then go to the town/county government to get these grievances fixed, and are told NO. So they then become politically active and get elected to the city/county government, and then start implementing the fixes they want. Only to find out that they have to raise TAXES to fund the projects. Thus, pissing off families who have lived here for generations. And they can not understand why – jlr)

Breaking Down California’s Insane “Super Bowl Tax”
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/breaking-down-californias-insane-super-bowl-tax
…the state will go back in time, all the way to the start of the NFL season in September, and take their ‘fair share’ of the players’ ENTIRE salaries over the entire season…This is what’s known as the state’s “jock tax,” in which they tax non-resident professional athletes based on the number of “duty days” they spend in the state—traveling, practicing, attending meetings, or playing in a game. Both teams arrived in California last Sunday, so each player will log at least eight duty days in the state just for the Super Bowl. They then divide those California duty days over the entire season, and you end up with a percentage. If a player spends, say, 7% of his duty days in California over the season, then the state claims the right to tax 7% of his entire annual salary— at California’s top marginal rate of 13.3%! This is pretty crazy given that the players only earned $178,000 for that game. But in the case of Seattle quarterback Sam Darnold, he’ll end up owing Gavin Newsom roughly $249,000 in state taxes this year. In other words, Sam Darnold will LOSE over $70,000.(The NFL players should refuse to play in any state, esp. CA., that has a “jock Tax” – jlr)

And that makes it sound like this was a marriage of legal convenience seeking to circumvent legal consequences, which may also affect his wife as being complicit in the immigration fraud.

All flights in and out of El Paso International Airport and nearby regional airports have been canceled or grounded, with even medical evacuation flights being restricted, as local authorities and military officials state that they have received no information regarding the NOTAM.

What we call money was for the longest time gold…It has never quite been valueless and even jungle savages and pyramid builders..The phrase “Not worth a Continental” came about because the Continental Congress decided to print a lot of cash to fight the Revolutionary War. It worked, but the cash became valueless because they printed too much…Then we went to gold because the Constitution said so. Gold worked for a while. There was a reset during the Civil War with the National Banking Act, which made paper “greenbacks” official tender…Then in the awful year of 1913, the Fed® was put into place, and the monkey business began anew. Another currency reset, first for World War I, where they suspended gold convertibility to print for the war machine. Huh. It’s like I’ve heard that before. When the value of the dollar started to increase in the Great Depression, Roosevelt came in and made owning significant amounts of gold illegal…FDR’s Executive Order 6102 forced folks to turn in their gold at $20.67 an ounce, then he jacked the price to $35 overnight…In 1965 LBJ took all of the silver out of the money, too…Nixon took the dollar off of the gold standard as a “temporary emergency measure” in 1971. Temporary, my foot. It was the final nail in the gold coffin, all because we were spending like drunken sailors on wine, women, wars and welfare…………

A Parting Gift for Pelosi
https://patriotpost.us/alexander/125054
Memo to Pam Bondi: DoJ Criminal Complaint to Indict Rep. Nancy Pelosi for Destruction of Public Property…In 2020, you may recall that at the close of Trump’s State of the Union, Pelosi, in front of every member of Congress in a nationally televised event, ripped apart the official copy of Trump’s speech as presented to the Speaker…At approximately 2220 hours on Tuesday, 04 February 2020, the nation witnessed clear and indisputable evidence that Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Speaker of the House, committed an act which brazenly and feloniously violates federal law — specifically 18 U.S.C. 2071 and the Presidential Records Act of 1978. Rep. Pelosi willfully mutilated the official signed State of the Union transcript prepared by the Executive Branch for the Legislative Branch. Her actions were witnessed by federal law-enforcement officials in the House chamber. This was also witnessed by members of her political caucus, with whom she likely colluded in premeditation of the commission of this offense. I enter this video record as evidence for this criminal complaint that Rep. Pelosi violated both 18 U.S.C. 2071 and the Presidential Records Act of 1978.

‘We have a glaring disadvantage’: Democrats panic as GOP dominates in fundraising, NYT reports
https://www.theblaze.com/news/nyt-fundraising-gop-winning-midterms
Democratic strategists are warning that fundraising might make the difference in the midterms…Democrats have about $137 million for their campaigns, while Republicans have more than twice that amount, about $320 million, when their debts are taken into account…On top of Republicans’ clear advantage, they also have future hopes of raising even more money from pro-Republican sources. Among these are tech billionaire Elon Musk, who has come back to the party after a public split over the summer, as well as leaders in the cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence industries.

TMZ Poll Shows Kid Rock’s Halftime Performance Preferred Over Bad Bunny’s, Leading To Deletion Attempt
https://istandforfreedom.com/tmz-poll-halftime-rock-bunny
Enter TMZ, the Hollywood gossip machine not exactly known for its conservative sympathies. Shortly after the game, they posted a simple poll on X: “Who had the better halftime show—Bad Bunny or Kid Rock?” What happened next clearly wasn’t part of the plan. From OutKick:
With just under 400,000 total votes, the final tally wasn’t even close, with 65% of fans preferring the Kid Rock-led TPUSA halftime show… Apparently, very early on in the poll’s history, the results were so heavily skewed in favor of The American Badass, that TMZ quietly tried to delete the poll.

‘They aren’t trying to hide their racist agendas anymore’: Texas lawmakers show ‘true colors’

Democrats are no longer even pretending they’re not pushing an inflammatory, racially charged agenda…They’re just saying everything out in the open. They’ve just been emboldened to just be blatantly, publicly racist. And then that’s where you know their true colors,”…“I always tell people the day the Latino, African-American, Asian, and other communities realize that they share the same oppressor is the day we start winning because we are the majority in this country now. We have the ability to take over this country,” state Rep. Gene Wu (D-Texas) said…“Gene Wu is a radical racist who hates millions of Texans just because they’re white. This is who the modern Democrat party is,”…“There are those that have their own motivations for critiquing,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) said in an interview.”…“Is it just racism and sexism?”…“I think there’s a lot of things. I think it depends on who it’s coming from, but I’ve been a black woman my whole life.

Congress Suspects ATF Has Gun Registry With 1.1 Billion Records
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/congress-suspects-atf-has-gun-registry-11-billion-records
Originally, in 2021, Gun Owners of America revealed that the ATF was “processing” over 54.7 million “out-of-business records” per year. Following this revelation, a Congressional investigation was started. This investigation uncovered the shocking reality that ATF had over 920 million gun registration records in a centralized, searchable, digital database- in total violation of federal law. In 1986, Congress passed the Firearm Owners Protection Act, or FOPA. A portion of this act bans the federal government from ever keeping a searchable database of gun owners…With this policy, dealers could have their federal firearms license revoked, and therefore would be put out of business, allowing the ATF to capture more of those out-of-business records for its registry. And that’s exactly what ATF did. In the years of zero tolerance, FFL license revocations skyrocketed. ATF broke records, revoking more licenses during the Biden-era than it had in over 20 years. Finally, thanks to President Trump and FBI Director (then ATF Director as well) Kash Patel, the zero-tolerance policy is no more. But ATF’s illegal registry still exists and is still growing. To make matters worse, ATF is currently refusing to respond to congressional inquiry about the registry.

As eight men and one woman patrolled the streets of North Philadelphia on a below-freezing night in late January, they proudly modeled themselves on the Black Panther Party for Self Defense, a group founded by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale in California in the 1960s. The men were following Paul Birdsong, chairman of the newly formed Black Lion Party for International Solidarity, who clutched an MP5 semiautomatic shotgun to his chest. Two journalists from Paris accompanied the group, drawn by Birdsong’s defiant comments about U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at a recent protest in downtown Philadelphia.

They don’t “compromise.” They don’t “moderate.” They push bans, restrictions, and new crimes — all while claiming it’s about “safety.” This is the Left’s agenda in plain sight. They never stop. They’re never satisfied with what they can get here and now. The radical left will stop at nothing to enact their radical gun control agenda and strip us of our Second Amendment rights.

Hey, Creatures, Leave Those Kids Alone: The Worst Form of Liberal ‘Privilege’ Yet
https://pjmedia.com/kevindowneyjr/2026/02/02/hey-creatures-leave-those-kids-alone-the-worst-privilege-yet-n4949032
when one takes a look at some of the Democrats’ demographics, we see the liberal “privilege” abounds in their own party:
Black privilege: the ability to murder twice as many white people every year as whites kill black folks, despite white people having a five-to-one demographic edge, and yet few people know this.
Muslim privilege: Muslims are raping and killing Westerners across the world, and we are labeled “Islamophobic” when we write or read articles like this one.
LGBTFBI privilege: where to begin? The “gaystapo” gets away with nasty atrocities.
Black privilege, Part II: black people are roughly 13.5% of the population, but commit 55.9% of the murders, and yet almost no one knows this.
Pedophile privilege: I wish I were kidding. …why would Democrats continue to release these monsters into the U.S.? Because sexual assault is a gruesome aspect of war, and Western civilization is at war. Like it or not, We the People are currently in an existential conflict with the Islamo-communists raping and murdering their way across the Western world. Vote wisely

The Black African-American Plague ravaged Europe from 1347-1352. The “Great Pestilence” began in Asia and traversed Europe from the eastern city of Kaffa (currently known as Feodosia in Crimea) westward via shipping lanes and trade routes on land. When it was over, roughly 50% of medieval Europe was dead. FACT-O-RAMA! The plague spread to the West when a Mongolian warlord, whose army had been decimated by the disease, launched the dead bodies of his soldiers into the walled city of Kaffa. From there, sailing ships brought the illness to cities in current-day Italy and onward to Europe’s port towns. The plague didn’t care about race or skin color — it killed randomly — but today’s lefties can’t tolerate a devastating 675-year-old illness that was color-blind.

Take, for instance, the hate spilled by Variety, the outlet that’s considered by some be the entertainment industry’s bible. “It should have been called ‘Day of the Living Tradwife,'” Melania came out of Slovenia as a teenage fashion model, but she was always less Brooke Shields than Nico, and now, at 55, in her Terminator sunglasses and thick mascara eyelashes and omnipresent four-inch pumps (she wears them in every scene, even when she’s just relaxing on the couch), she still has that frozen-for-the-camera hauteur, as well as the thick accent that blankets everything she says, giving it all the same emotional neutrality. “Can we do the lapel a little bit beeger?” she asks her designer, Hervé Pierre, and he, like everyone else in the room, reacts with a grin of jovial agreement, as if Marie Antoinette had just asked for a piece of cake…Remember, these are the types that contend that every illegal alien is a saint, yet here they are demeaning a successful legal immigrant woman who speaks five languages.

Talarico says a lot of inane things – including saying that God is “nonbinary” and claiming atheists are more “Christ-like” than many Christians – but seems to have crossed a line, at least as far as Allred is concerned. Allred was steaming mad when he took to social media Monday to excoriate Talarico for allegedly calling Allred a “mediocre black man.”…Here’s what a TikToker alleges Talarico said to her (apologies for the language): video – 00:03:01 0 https://twitter.com/i/status/2018186526497350131 – The Democrat infighting could not come at a better time for Republicans…A Democrat-themed circular firing squad is well-timed as the primary elections.

Diversity is our strength. – Lessons learned from the Third World.
https://miguelgg.substack.com/p/diversity-is-our-strength-gra
That brought memories to yours truly. Non-Government checkpoints are very common in the Third World and used for many different purposes. In Venezuela they are called “alcabalas” and were most commonly by the criminal element collecting a small fee for their coffers and immediate purchase of drugs and alcohol. I used to carry a couple of bottles of cheap rum in my car to use as payment and did so with a smile on my face. Why? Because I did not want to get beat up or shot and my car stolen or set on fire with me inside. Yes, it did happen. I am not surprised that the Diversity Crowd picked up the worst cultural elements of their “protected” and are using them to exercise political pressure. I would exercise care in approaching these checkpoints. In the Third World there would be an obvious display of force to add in the compliance of the stop, but even though they may not visible, I would put past them to have a couple of armed enforcers with concealed weapons ready to act and then claim you just ran over them and they were trying to defend themselves. So they have mayor fraud and political checkpoints down, I wonder what else they already learned. Maybe necklacing is next?

https://pjmedia.com/tim-o-brien/2026/02/07/thanks-to-voter-id-somalia-is-embarrassing-america-on-election-integrity-n4949240
According to the Nairobi-based Kulan Post from last September, Somalia president Hassan Sheikh Mohamud said that only people “with national identification cards will be recognized as citizens once the ongoing biometric ID program concludes.” That biometric ID program has involved requiring citizens to register for a national ID card that Mohamud said will be “the cornerstone of Somali belonging.” He emphasized that “it is through identification that one becomes Somali, not through appearance or simply speaking the Somali language.” Imagine that. A country that insists that not only people assimilate to become recognized as citizens, but one that won’t grant citizenship status without the ID. Starting last July (2025),
Somali citizens are now required to present their national IDs to gain access to their bank accounts and for domestic flights, and now they need IDs to vote.

MAMDANI PRAISES HIJRAH: NYC Mayor Urges America to Follow Muhammad’s “Migration” — a Doctrine of Islamic Conquest

Mamdani knows what he is saying here. After invoking Islam and Muhammad as a model for mass migration, Zohran Mamdani echoes hijrah—a doctrine that marks Islam’s turn from preaching to political and military rule. Migration jihad.

Muslim Woman in UK: ‘This Country’s Own Culture Has Disappeared’
https://gellerreport.com/2026/02/muslim-woman-in-uk-this-countrys-own-culture-has-disappeared.html/
A Muslim woman speaks plainly and without spin about the reality in the United Kingdom: Muslims now wield real power, British culture is disappearing, and political leaders have betrayed their own people. She understands it — and so do they. Britain has been sold out by its politicians to Islamic interests. The question is whether the British people will wake up before it’s too late.

VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS NUKE THE MAP: Drop 10–1 Redistricting Scheme To Wipe Out GOP
https://gellerreport.com/2026/02/virginia-democrats-nuke-the-map.html
They’re moving toward a 10–1 congressional map for 2026: ten Democrats, one Republican. That’s a Democrat 4+ swing, wiping out four GOP seats in a state that is currently split 6 Democrats to 5 Republicans. Total annihilation of representation. Lawmakers say the official map is coming soon, but even the “trial balloons” all leave Republicans with one seat — at best. And what are red states doing? Nothing. Sitting on their hands. Lecturing about “morality” while Democrats redraw the map to lock in permanent power. No retaliation from Indiana. No response from Kansas. No backbone anywhere. Meanwhile, Indiana Republicans killed a proposed congressional map designed to strengthen Republican seats.
This is how you lose midterms.

No, I’m not saying that metaphorically. Yes I mean it clinically. It’s insane, and I’m entirely done pretending it’s anything but insane. Nothing in the world provokes this kind of emotion, or anything even near it, in white people, except the Sacred Black People Taboo. Real world violence doesn’t cause so many (crocodile) tears to fall. The rape of white women and the murder of white women by black (or “brown”) men doesn’t move them 1/10 of how this allegedly moves them…What does?

Investigators identified two or three additional voters outside the country, along with others living outside the district, who were nonetheless on the rolls.

Washington Post CEO And Publisher Quits As Newspaper Implodes In Epic Chaos
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/washington-post-ceo-and-publisher-quits-newspaper-implodes-epic-chaos
In a “poetic ending” plot twist, that even jaded conspiracy theorists would have had trouble scripting, Washington Post CEO and publisher Will Lewis has abruptly and unexpectedly stepped down from his perch atop Jeff Bezos’s crumbling media empire…the real reason for Lewis’ departure is the he presided over two major errors, one his, and the other that of his boss, Jeff Bezos who clearly has grown bored with his vanity media project. First, Lewis blocked the Post reporting on his role in the UK phone hacking scandal, preventing the publication of a story few would have read anyway. Then, Bezos pulled a planned endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris at the 11th hour, for apparent fear of offending Donald Trump. That endorsement wouldn’t have made much of a difference politically, but hundreds of thousands of subscribers canceled over what they saw as a craven capitulation.

This leaves us with a report from the Russian-military-focused Telegram channel Rybar on Tuesday that only suggests that Cuban Missile Crisis 2.0 could be in the making.

The recent snow storm that overtook Texas reportedly crashed the state’s wind and solar energy generators, leading to natural gas, coal, and nuclear providing most of the state’s electricity… “renewable generation declined almost immediately”…“Wind, solar, and batteries fell from briefly supplying ~63% of generation to ~7% within roughly 48 hours,”…“Battery storage played a negligible role, constrained by high prices and lack of surplus electricity.”…“natural gas, coal, and nuclear carried the grid, covering both lost renewables and rising demand.”…Blackmon also credited the new laws passed by the Abbott administration. “The reforms enacted by the Texas legislature #txlege over the last three sessions are clearly working as intended,” he wrote. NPR and virtually every other mainstream media outlet sought in 2021 to “debunk” Abbott by citing so-called experts, yet years later, it appears he’d been right all along.

Too Many Democrats Want Us Dead
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2026/01/too_many_democrats_want_us_dead.html
After Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the multiple assassination attempts on President Trump, and the violent targeting of federal agents in Minnesota, non-leftists in America must accept that leftists intend to do them harm. There are no signs that Democrats want to de-escalate political tensions in the United States. On the contrary, at least since community organizer Barack Obama became president, escalation — including verbal harassment, stalking, physical intimidation, and outright violence — has been a key component of Democrats’ political strategy. Scaring political opponents into silence or subjugation is now standard operating procedure for the Democrat Party.
Too many violent Democrats want us dead. Too few authorities will do anything to stop the threat. Be safe. Be vigilant. Be ready.

https://www.theblaze.com/news/tim-walz-civil-war-backlash
Democratic Gov. Tim Walz asked if the violence in Minnesota was akin to that at Fort Sumter, which famously precipitated the Civil War of the 1860s…”I mean, is this a Fort Sumter?” Walz asked…Walz, once again, proves he is a moron who both lacks the context for the (horrible and inaccurate) historical analogies he uses and also is not lowering the heated rhetoric…”Federal agents are in a recalcitrant state trying to enforce federal law, and the governor of that state wonders if it’s Fort Sumter without stopping to puzzle out which side that makes him in the analogy,”

The Truly Scary Part of Minneapolis Protests
https://bearingarms.com/tomknighton/2026/01/27/the-truly-scary-part-of-minneapolis-protests-n1231347
Author Larry Correia, though, noted that the right and the left are different when it comes to violence. The right is, in fact, a switch. It’s all or nothing, really. The left is a dial, where it slowly ramps up until they’re full-on communist revolution or something of that sort. A lot of people roll their eyes at that idea, the thought that the American political left even could pop off like that, but take a look at what Schwalm is talking about for a moment. That’s a level of coordination that is an easy jumping-off point to something darker if they feel the need. And it’s not like Trump can cave on this, either, because the moment he does, the mob knows they have the final say. Not the courts, not the Constitution itself, and not the voters, but the loud, horrifying mob. Yet if he doesn’t, they may decide to escalate this until we get beyond that “kinetic threshold” mentioned above.

A friend of mine who is a political activist said something interesting the other day, and that was for most people on the left political violence is a knob, and they can turn the heat up and down, with things like protests, and riots, all the way up to destruction of property, and sometimes murder… But for the vast majority of folks on the right, it’s an off and on switch. And the settings are Vote or Shoot Fucking Everybody. And believe me, you really don’t want that switch to get flipped, because Civil War 2.0 would make Bosnia look like a trip to Disneyworld.

“The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of men who wanted to be left alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over.
The moment the men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the men who just wanted to be left alone.”

CNN: Media Arm of the Ayatollah
https://gellerreport.com/2026/01/cnn-media-arm-of-the-ayatollah.html/
The regime is tottering and facing a massive and imminent threat of intervention from the United States. What to do? Call CNN. CNN went to Iran with regime approval, interviewed regime-selected people who support Khamenei, and presented a pro-regime narrative
Iran echos Iranian regime lies, ingnoring the brutal crackdown on protesters and emphasizing regime messaging over the voices of those fighting for freedom. Western journalists in Tehran have been constrained by access rules that limit reporting to what the authorities want published, resulting in stories that are sanitized or deferential to Tehran’s talking points. CNN ignored the thousands of deaths and widespread repression. – They are (willing) accomplices to the butchery.

Lloyd Austin’s COVID Tyranny Continues As Shadow Policy at the Department of War
https://redstate.com/chase-spears/2026/01/30/lloyd-austins-covid-tyranny-continues-as-pete-hegseths-shadow-policy-n2198517
During his tenure as Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin abandoned his oath of office as a retired military officer and embarked on a mission to radicalize America’s military. That came in three primary phases. He first made clear that any thought aligned to conservative philosophy was suspect, and should be considered on par with an undefined ‘extremism,’ which was to be rooted out. Second, he forced the radical transgender movement onto the ranks and openly defied law to use Defense Department funds to cover abortion travel. Commanders were required to approve actions related to these wicked ideological movements, regardless of their conscience on the matter. Finally came the unlawful COVID mandate. These three things in concert were designed to make America’s military a place in which morally-minded service members faced a daily barrage of attacks against conscience. Secretary Austin aimed to purge people who love America and its founding ideals from the ranks. To our national detriment, he was largely successful.

Seattle Gets Slapped Down in Court Over CHOP Killing, Forced to Pay Family Staggering $30 Million

Seattle’s handling of the 2020 Capitol Hill Occupied Protest (CHOP) zone during the so-called “Summer of Love” has cost the city over $30 million, following a King County jury’s decision ordering it to pay more than $30.5 million to the family of 16-year-old Antonio Mays Jr…You may recall that a 19-year-old, Lorenzo Anderson, was also shot and killed in the CHOP zone. Multiple other shootings took place in that seven-block area after Seattle police abandoned their East Precinct. Calls about “rapes, robberies and all sorts of violent acts,” according to Seattle Police Chief at the time, Carmen Best, had tripled.

From Pilot to Policy: California’s Quiet March Toward a Vehicle Mileage Tax
https://redstate.com/steve-williams/2026/01/30/from-pilot-to-policy-californias-quiet-march-toward-a-vehicle-mileage-tax-n2198663
California already has the highest gas prices in the country, some of the highest vehicle fees, and a housing market that forces families to live farther from work every year. Now, the state legislature is one step closer to a new way to charge people simply for driving…CA Democrats just voted to approve a new Mileage Tax, charging every driver in the state per mile that they drive — and that’s on top of the sky-high gas taxes! – https://x.com/carldemaio/status/2017040082860232933…Introduced in February 2025, the bill directs state agencies to advance implementation of a mileage-based tax and return to the Legislature with recommendations on how much to charge and how the tax would be collected. While the bill does not impose a mileage tax today, it explicitly moves the state beyond exploration and toward execution.

700 Boxes of Ballots Seized After FBI Executes Fulton County Warrant, Dems Try to Develop ‘Legal Plan’

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents executed a search warrant at Fulton County’s elections office in Georgia on Wednesday.
The search warrant included a list of “particular things” that were to be seized during the raid. The document specifies that “all physical ballots from the 2020 general election,” ballot images, tabulator tapes, and “all voter rolls” are to be targeted…Fulton County Commissioner Mo Ivory fretted that the search was “all wrong” and vowed to “figure out a legal plan” to counter the ongoing investigation. Why, pray tell, would you need a legal plan to counter what were no doubt boxes of legitimate election ballots and voter rolls? Hundreds of boxes, it turns out…“They are now in there getting the documents,” she said in a video posted to social media. “Seven hundred boxes of 2020 ballots and accompanying things that go with it. You know, absentee ballots, all the things.”…”Once they have the ballots,” a concerned Ivory said, “how do we then turn around and do something different when they’ve already got their hands on it?

The First Amendment exists to protect journalists whose role it is to shine light on the truth and hold those in power accountable. There is no more important time for people like Don to be doing this work.” “Instead of investigating the federal agents who killed two peaceful Minnesota protesters, the Trump Justice Department is devoting its time, attention and resources to this arrest, and that is the real indictment of wrongdoing in this case. This unprecedented attack on the First Amendment and transparent attempt to distract attention from the many crises facing this administration will not stand.

Hunter Biden Argues He’s Not Legally Obligated to Communicate with His 7-Year-Old Daughter in New Court Filing
https://www.westernjournal.com/hunter-biden-argues-not-legally-obligated-communicate-7-year-old-daughter-new-court-filing/
Hunter Biden says being a bad dad is his right and no one can make him change. Biden and former stripper Lunden Roberts have been at odds for most of the life of 7-year-old Navy Joan Roberts, the child he fathered with Roberts. The child’s story is paved with court hearings over paternity and support that were solved, for a time, in a 2023 settlement. Earlier this month, Roberts asked an Arkansas judge to have Hunter Biden arrested for violating the agreement, as noted by the Daily Mail, which noted that one of the terms of the agreement was that former President Joe Biden’s son would meet with the girl. But Hunter Biden’s legal team now says that will not happen. “Any failure to communicate with the Child is not punishable by contempt, as the Order does not order Defendant to communicate with the Child,” attorney Brent Langdon wrote in a filing to respond to Roberts, according to the New York Post.

reality rugpull – external identity and revisionist histories are the nitro and glycerin of the present

we live in some truly distempered times, times of what seem like one can only describe as monomania and breakage. the obsessive nature of it and the need to make every single thing in the world about whatever your particular idée fixe is could well be the most conspicuously horrendous concatenated failure of iterated rorschach tests in human history. (though possibly not, the bolsheviks, mao, and who knows who else may well have been the same) but i will say this: it’s getting worse and the speed of this is going exponential. it’s not even “everything i see is the same ink blot” anymore. it’s veering into “if you are not constantly validating me you are anathema.” even the idea of a world outside the obsession is becoming intolerable to the obsessed. and that’s a trend as worrying as it is predictable.

She staged it.” “There are no other options,”…option No. 3 — presented by Rep. Omar herself to question her decision-making in the wake of the attack — beggars belief: She was more afraid of “losing my dignity” than she was of dying from poisoning.

This May Be the Most Important Piece of Legislation of Our Lifetimes
https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/01/30/this-may-be-the-most-important-piece-of-legislation-of-our-lifetimes-n4948933
The Make Elections Great Again (MEGA) Act hit the floor on Thursday, and it’s a full-throttle effort to secure elections in ways Democrats have long fought against.
For starters, the MEGA Act would require a photo ID to vote and mandate proof of citizenship to register nationwide. The bill also directly targets practices that became major flashpoints in 2020 that undermined confidence in the 2020 election. This legislation mandates that mail-in ballots must arrive by the close of polls on Election Day to be counted, with one exception for military personnel overseas. Several states currently allow ballots postmarked by Election Day to be accepted later, which delays results in vote-by-mail-heavy states like California.

Over the last four decades, California has steadily reduced its in-state refining footprint through a mix of regulatory pressure, capital flight, and policy uncertainty. In the early 1980s, California had more than 40 operating refineries. Today, it effectively has nine refineries producing transportation fuel at scale…A USC study warns California gas prices could reach $8 per gallon. With the Benicia refinery set to close in April, supply will tighten and prices could climb even higher.

He pointed to New York City, which he referred to as the “home of 9/11,” now having a Muslim mayor as evidence of the growing political and social influence of Muslims in the United States. Malik said opponents of Islam are watching this growth with fear, believing Muslims are poised to “replace” them in positions of privilege, and he affirmed that such a shift is, in his view, imminent. – (When your enemy tell you who they are, and what they want, believe them. – jlr)

Rogue Memers: Modern-Day Sons of Liberty
https://pjmedia.com/jamie-wilson/2026/01/31/rogue-memers-modern-day-sons-of-liberty-n4948951
The power of prank politics does not come from transgression, but from restraint enforced informally and collectively. Boundaries are maintained through reputation rather than punishment. Participants know when a joke clarifies and when it merely provokes. When mockery turns cruel or incoherent, it doesn’t need to be banned; people stop spreading it. No one laughs, and the joke dies. This internal discipline is easy to miss from the outside, where the absence of centralized control is mistaken for chaos. In reality, informal norms are often stricter than formal rules, because they operate through belonging. Humor persists only as long as it binds rather than fractures, and that collective discernment is what keeps ridicule corrective instead of destructive. It is, ultimately, populist in the purest sense.

The Rise of the New Confederacy
https://pjmedia.com/josh-hammer/2026/01/30/the-rise-of-the-new-confederacy-n4948937
Democrats in America have a long and inglorious history of invoking “states’ rights” and shirking federal law. It has never ended well. South Carolinian John C. Calhoun emerged as the most passionate advocate for state nullification. Calhoun argued not only for a state’s “right” to nullify federal law but also to secede from the Union, if necessary, to secure its sovereignty. The result was the 1861 attack on Fort Sumter and the 600,000-plus slain in the Civil War…The good news for President Donald Trump is that he has a clear legal precedent for how to respond, if the neo-Confederate uprising in Minnesota continues apace. On April 15, 1861, in response to the attack on Fort Sumter three days prior, President Abraham Lincoln invoked the Insurrection Act of 1807. Trump has recently been musing about doing the same. Will Trump pull the trigger? Maybe. After all, there’s nothing new under the sun.

https://istandforfreedom.com/melania-trump-docu-opening/
For nearly a decade, Melania Trump has weathered a relentless campaign of mockery, dismissal, and outright hostility from a media establishment that never bothered to understand her—or the millions of Americans who admire her…when Amazon announced Melania, a documentary offering unprecedented access to the First Lady during the twenty days before her husband’s 2025 inauguration, the media had their scripts ready. Empty theaters. Box office humiliation. Who would possibly want to see this? Industry reporters gleefully cited soft early ticket sales in the UK. I’d call it predictable if it weren’t so exhausting. The narrative was set before a single American had the chance to buy a ticket. But Americans had other plans…“Coming in at third is Amazon MGM Studios’ Brett Ratner-directed documentary Melania, which is eyeing $2.85M today for an $8M opening in third place—that result would mark the best start for a docu in the last decade. I’m hearing sales are gaining, with Florida and Texas quite large, for the First Lady’s big-screen debut.”

Anti-Gun Chuck Schumer Defends Second Amendment in Bizarre Attempt to Own Trump: ‘Shall Not Be Infringed’
https://www.westernjournal.com/anti-gun-chuck-schumer-defends-second-amendment-bizarre-attempt-trump-shall-not-infringed/
President Donald Trump has done the impossible. Democrats now openly defend the right to keep and bear arms, invoking the Second Amendment…“Donald Trump continues to blame Alex Pretti for his own death. He said yesterday Pretti should not have been carrying a gun. “The president seems to have forgotten the words of the Second Amendment, quote, ‘The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.’” Older public officials constantly forget the internet exists. Gone are the days of their previous statements that contradict newer ones disappearing into the abyss. Schumer has a long history of anti-gun activism easily found.

WEEKLY THREAT AND ALERT ROUNDUP
https://www.threatjournal.com/archive/tj01312026.html
The 2026 National Defense Strategy,(https://media.defense.gov/2026/Jan/23/2003864773/-1/-1/0/2026-NATIONAL-DEFENSE-STRATEGY.PDF) published late last week by the Department of Defense, delivers a stark message; the United States can no longer assume that major threats will remain overseas. Defending the homeland is now the U.S. military’s top priority, driven by an assessment that adversaries have both the intent and capability to strike U.S. territory directly

A friend of mine who is a political activist said something interesting the other day, and that was for most people on the left political violence is a knob, and they can turn the heat up and down, with things like protests, and riots, all the way up to destruction of property, and sometimes murder… But for the vast majority of folks on the right, it’s an off and on switch. And the settings are Vote or Shoot Fucking Everybody. And believe me, you really don’t want that switch to get flipped, because Civil War 2.0 would make Bosnia look like a trip to Disneyworld.

“The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of men who wanted to be left alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over.  The moment the men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the men who just wanted to be left alone.” ― Alexandr Solzhenitsyn – The Gulag Archipelago, 1973.

Just a reminder of an interesting point.
https://miguelgg.substack.com/p/just-a-reminder-of-an-interesting
There are ICE agents operating in many states of the union, removing illegal aliens. Yey we only see major protests and violence in the state where fraud of billions of dollars of taxpayer money was uncovered.

Deadly Rhetoric
https://patriotpost.us/articles/124563
Just three days before Saturday’s tragic incident, Mayor Jacob Frey was asked about federal immigration enforcement in his city. He said:“In Minneapolis, we will not cooperate with [federal immigration police] or any federal agency around immigration enforcement work, we will not. And there’s a good reason, by the way, that we won’t, and it’s not just the moral imperative here, it’s also the fact that I want our police officers focusing on safety.” So, Mayor Frey thinks there is a “moral imperative” to not cooperate with federal law enforcement. That’s insane, not to mention illegal in many cases. Just imagine the ***reaction if any elected Republican said there was a “moral imperative” to not cooperate with federal environmental laws, federal gun laws, or federal tax laws. Worse, Frey’s “moral imperative” is making his city unsafe! Because police won’t assist in crowd control, leftist revolutionaries feel free to confront and obstruct federal immigration police, leading to these unnecessary tragedies. Not to be outdone, Arizona’s Democrat Attorney General Kris Mayes claimed *that federal immigration police are not “real law enforcement.” She also seemingly encouraged Arizona residents to shoot federal immigration police under the state’s “Stand Your Ground” law. That’s beyond irresponsible! It’s disgusting and it’s reprehensible! That kind of rhetoric will get people killed. There are calls for Mayes to resign. Good luck with that. Radical leftists never resign when they get in trouble. Just ponder that sentence for a while In Virginia, we just swore in a Democrat attorney general who fantasized about the murders of his political opponents’ children. This is the alternative to the Republican Party, and this is who they elect as top law enforcement officials. Is there any doubt that our civil liberties will be in jeopardy if they get power again?
Is there any doubt that our civil liberties will be in jeopardy if Democrats get power again?

Democrats Turn Minneapolis into Fort Sumter
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2026/01/democrats_turn_minneapolis_into_fort_sumter.html
Just as it did one hundred and sixty-five years ago, the Democrat Party appears to be making war against the federal government…Whether Democrat Party officials are backing an insurgent force on the streets of Minneapolis to distract from their own complicity in a multi-billion-dollar fraud operation, we don’t yet know. But Democrats do appear to believe that Minnesota can ignore federal law and threaten federal agents with impunity. That smacks of rebellion and secession and cannot be permitted.

The Department of Homeland Security has pushed back strongly against claims of racial profiling. Agents were in a public area during an active enforcement operation – Individuals, including Menera, began yelling at agents in Spanish. A fluent Spanish-speaking agent identified a Mexican accent – Menera allegedly gave inconsistent answers about his birthplace – He refused to provide documentation, triggering a brief detention
DHS maintains the stop was based on immigration-status indicators, not race, and says agents acted professionally given the circumstances.

Rage is a drug, and the radical left is as addicted to that as they are to porn and not showering. At this point, there is no way for the leadership in the Democratic Party to turn down the heat without being burned by it. So, if you’re waiting for the adult in the room to come forward and, well, be an adult…don’t hold your breath…These cosplay social justice warriors who suggest “mobbing” ICE, which is code for “kill them,” think they’re doing something good. Or, usually more accurately, they think they’re convincing someone else to do something good…You also have these idiots comparing people rioting in favor of illegal aliens with the Holocaust, which makes you realize just how failed the public schooling in this country is…It makes the cries from the cannon fodder a little hollow when you come to the realization that the “action” for which you signed up is to literally be that fodder.

Speaking for ‘All Americans’: the Obamas’ Dangerous Return to the Megaphone
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2026/01/speaking_for_all_americans_the_obamas_dangerous_return_to_the_megaphone.html
For years, trained and practiced community agitator Barack Obama has been holding back, waiting for a fitting moment to help advance the “fundamental transformation” he initiated in 2008. From a political observer’s perspective, Obama has been so quiet of late that one would think he had lost hope of living to see his vision of American demise come to pass. But based on his recent comments about the chaos in Minneapolis, it appears he’s been biding his time, waiting for the right moment to fan the flames, side with disrupters, cover for the fraudsters, and cheer on the adversaries of freedom.

Running Saul Alinsky’s playbook in Minneapolis
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2026/01/running_saul_alinsky_s_playbook_in_minneapolis.html
Fifty-five years ago, Democrat activist and community organizer Saul Alinsky published Rules for Radicals. Its stated purpose was not reform, persuasion, or compromise, but disruption — manufacturing chaos, provoking conflict, and inciting revolution as a means of political change. Alinsky was explicit: power is seized, not earned,
and the ends always justify the means. More than half a century later, the book has not faded into obscurity. It remains the Left’s operating manual — its tactical guide and its justification for tearing down institutions in the name of “progress.”…This is not accidental disorder. It is intentional political warfare, designed to use instability as leverage until the Democrats get what they want — illegal voters imported under the Biden regime to give them political power.

Her crime: posting a TikTok video attempting to recruit someone to assassinate President Donald Trump.The video’s caption read: “Surely a sniper with a terminal illness cannot be a big ask out of 343 million.” Yes, a public employee, drawing a taxpayer-funded salary, casually soliciting a would-be assassin from among the American population. When deputies detained Morrow at her home, she reportedly admitted the post was “intended as a threat directed toward President Donald J.

part 1:When the field director of ICE, Greg Bovino, was recently photographed wearing a long uniform overcoat when out in the field, many on social media likened it to an oppressive SS decision…the violence seen in the streets of Minneapolis is due to Bovino wearing a trench coat in snowy conditions…
part 2: What is it about leftist journos who feel it is completely reasonable to trash conservative women in a fashion that they have spent generations bleating is intolerant sexism?!… Heather Schwedel comes out with a completely hate-filled rant about Second Lady Usha Vance becoming pregnant…The premise of her piece is that there had been rumors of an affair between JD Vance and Erika Kirk, a dose of gossip she describes as “always more darkly entertaining than plausible.” But then Schwedel uses this sophomoric insult as justification. First, she states that the desperate wishcasting on social media a few months ago that the Second Couple may get divorced, she says it was not a surprise. But now a new wrinkle has developed: Supposedly, the Vances have decided to have another child to combat those rumors that Schwedel initially did not give credence to in the first place…So…it was not believable, and now they are faking a strong family unit because that rumor was factual, and they need to keep up appearances.

“The useful idiots, the leftists who are idealistically believing in the beauty of the Soviet socialist or Communist or whatever system, when they get disillusioned, they become the worst enemies. That’s why my KGB instructors specifically made the point: never bother with leftists. Forget about these political prostitutes. Aim higher. […] They serve a purpose only at the stage of destabilization of a nation. For example, your leftists in the United States: all these professors and all these beautiful civil rights defenders. They are instrumental in the process of the subversion only to destabilize a nation. When their job is completed, they are not needed any more. They know too much. Some of them, when they get disillusioned, when they see that Marxist-Leninists come to power—obviously they get offended—they think that they will come to power. That will never happen, of course. They will be lined up against the wall and shot.”

In the wake of the ongoing ICE operations in Minneapolis and the shooting deaths of Renee Good and, most recently, Alex Pretti, some of the most heinous and inhumane reactions to these events have come from the very people charged with caring for people, regardless of who they are. It serves as a stark warning if you are a conservative and support ICE.

More than 100 outraged community members denounce elementary school teacher over 2-word post about ICE

The teacher made the comment on his personal account on social media…More than 100 community members, including parents, attended a meeting of the West Chicago City Council to demand they take action against an elementary school teacher who posted about immigration. West Chicago Mayor Daniel Bovey also joined the mob in calling on Gary Elementary School to get rid of the teacher…’We want to ensure our schools are safe spaces, and we look forward to seeing all students back in school…The teacher’s outrageous statement was composed of only two words: “Go ICE.”

Preparing for Unrest – Communications
https://tactical-wisdom.com/2026/01/28/preparing-for-unrest-communications/
Let me start by addressing the elephant in the room: Signal. We teach in Brushbeater’s RTO & SIGINT courses and the Combat Studies Group’s Ground Rod One course that Signal is PRIVATE, but not SECURE. There are many cases of intelligence agencies and reporters gaining access to Signal chats, usually through poor security practice and bad messaging habits. Stop thinking it is secure.
On that note: DELETE YOUR MESSAGES. The number one way in which messages are read is through reading them on someone’s device. You don’t need texts from 3 days ago – go ahead and delete them. When using any app that lets you destroy both copies of a message, set them to self delete quickly. Turthfully, if the message needs to be secure, apps and the phone are NOT how I would send it.

If you think anything about freedom is safe or easy or free, you obviously have not read your history books…I might be a bit more conservative than some of you give me credence for. Because I will say it clearly, it is a conservative value to refuse to use the government to take away the rights of someone else. And that’s where I stand.

For far too long, the political class in America (on both sides, but particularly on the left) has believed that the rules do not apply to them… Connecticut Senator Christ Murphy, in another performative stunt, flew down to Texas to try to gain access to ICE facilities. Naturally, he assumed that immigration authorities would roll out the red carpet for him — he’s a Senator after all! He was wrong. Here is Murphy claiming that he was denied entry ‘illegally,’ which can only mean that ICE is ‘hiding something…the claim that ‘people are dying’ in ICE detention centers is a complete lie…It is important to note here that the seven-day notice was already DHS policy, long before the judge ruled on the question yesterday. Secretary Kristi Noem issued it on January 8. All this judge did was block an attempt to nullify that policy. And this was a Biden Judge, Jia Cobb, who is in the heavily Democrat-biased DC District.

Left-Wing NGOs Plan “Economic Blackout” Across Minnesota As State Becomes Testbed For Revolution
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/left-wing-ngos-plan-economic-blackout-across-minnesota-state-becomes-testbed-revolution
he color-revolution risk assessment we delivered to readers in August 2025 has since seen a timeline that has been accelerated, with Democratic Party-aligned dark-money funded NGOs, left-wing militant groups, and anti-Trump labor unions leveraging Minneapolis as a testbed for coordinated socialist resistance activity, including strike actions, boycotts, and engineered social unrest, all aimed at undermining President Trump’s legitimacy, authority, and governing capacity, with the end goal of regime change at the White House. The assessment initially forecasted that selective resistance movements would begin to materialize in 2026, with mass resistance emerging in 2027-28 ahead of the presidential election. That timeline has since accelerated, as Marxist NGOs and unions are funneling personnel and resources into Minneapolis to fuel social unrest, with the hopes of impeding the federal government’s deportation operations targeting criminal illegal aliens. Remember, these illegals are either the Democratic Party’s current voting bloc or future voting bloc.

Michelle Obama Admits She Doesn’t Buy “White-Owned” Brands
https://americanjournaldaily.com/obama-racism-whites/

She wants to be a racial identitarian when it comes to the positive act of buying — of supporting a business — but she doesn’t be a racial identitarian when it comes to the negative act of not shopping somewhere else… Michelle Obama spoke about being “mindful” to support brands based on the race of their owners. She thinks you should be, too. Now, play this out for a second. Imagine a prominent conservative said they were “mindful” to avoid minority-owned businesses. The media would spontaneously combust. The accusations of racism would be thunderous, and rightly so. So what is the difference here? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Making a consumer choice based on skin color is racism. Period.

New York City detectives say they were treated rudely and disrespectfully last week after they were mistaken for federal immigration agents while seeking treatment at a hospital after an arrest. What does it mean for any of us that do not May Day goosestep with the Liberal Mind Hive? You or somebody you love will be denied, under cared or outright leave to die in a medical facility because you happen to be their “mortal enemy” by thinking differently, especially on immigration. They will happily give the best of cares (at your expense) to rapists and murderers, but not to you and your loved ones. And they are not shy about wishing you ill.

Donald J. Trump said he has signed an executive order to restore mental institutions and psychiatric asylums, arguing that reopening them is necessary to remove severely mentally ill individuals from the streets, protect public safety, and address homelessness—adding bluntly that while rebuilding them won’t be easy, “you’ve got to get the people off the streets.”

Trump Signs Executive Order to Encourage States to Expand Mental Institutions for Homeless Mentally Ill
https://istandforfreedom.com/trump-order-mental-institutions/
The deinstitutionalization movement of the 1960s and 70s (pushed by Democrats, under the pretext that the mentally ill person, who is unable to understand their situation, or care for themselves, was being “held against their will” for no good reason – jlr) promised community-based care that never materialized (turned out it was too expensive and not enough trained people – jlr). Instead, we emptied the institutions and filled the streets. We called it progress. We called it compassion. And what did that compassion get us? The severely mentally ill found themselves homeless, untreated, and increasingly dangerous—to themselves and others. The shootings that dominate our headlines, the tent cities that define our urban landscapes, the random attacks on subway platform…The executive order encourages states to expand civil commitment and institutional treatment options for homeless individuals suffering from severe mental illness. It’s a federalist approach—no heavy-handed mandates from Washington, just the federal government finally acknowledging reality and empowering states to address it their own way. Imagine that. (as always liberals will reflexively say NO!, and Democrat led states and cities will continue to be unsafe open-air institutions with no treatment of, or housing for  mentally ill people. Whereas Conservative states will open mental hospitals, and treat mentally ill people as medical paitents. Increasing the safety of both the mentally ill and the general population of the state. – jlr)

PSA: If you are a Liberal and are armed or know fellow Liberals that carry, please share the above rules and avoid getting shot. Thank you.

Suicide by ICE: Leftist Masterminds Are Getting What They Wanted

…you also have to condition them to believe that the game they are playing is just a game and there are rules. So long as you follow their guidance, the police can’t touch you. That’s where death enters the picture. The creators of this guidance know this is a lie. They know that by putting naïve and willing aggressors out on the streets, the police can touch them. The masterminds want the police to arrest their followers, to at least appear to beat those protesters up, and to possibly kill them. They want it on video. They want the death to go viral. They want to use those final seconds of someone’s life to destroy a political party and ultimately the country. They want power. To them, someone’s “martyrdom” is a small price to pay…This is suicidal. It’s time the people behind the anti-ICE movement are held to account. They know what they’re doing.

PR Fallout of the Second ICE Fatality: This One Is So Much Worse — and Bloodier Days Are Coming

When it comes to the real world, Ben Shapiro is exactly right: “Facts don’t care about your feelings.” But when it comes to PR, alas, the opposite is true: “Feelings don’t care about your facts.”…Remember: PR is about emotion, not facts. And right now, the Democrats have the “moral outrage” card…we should focus on the big picture:
1) Immigration fraud and migrant crimes are out of control — and Minn. is Ground Zero.
2)The Democratic Party is required to follow the rule of law — which means, it must stop inciting protesters to act violently — because too many people are
getting killed. If the Democrats want to change public policy, they should do so via the ballot box, not by the barrel of a gun.
3) Over the last 10 years, roughly 90,000 illegal aliens were criminally convicted. They don’t have the right to break our laws, murder, rape, and hurt
Americans, and then enjoy an extended vacation in Minneapolis — just because Gov. Walz disagrees with federal immigration policies.
This is the United States of America, not the Personal Whims of Walz!
It’s sad that Good and Pretti died, because all lives matter. They, too, were made in the image of God. As were ALL the American citizens who’ve lost their lives to illegal aliens, from murder in the first degree to driving under the influence, including these innocent victims…….

Armed Suspect Involved In Minneapolis Border Patrol Shooting Amidst Political Condemnation
https://istandforfreedom.com/armed-suspect-minn-border-patrol
Some people spend weeks stacking kindling, soaking it in fuel, and striking matches—then act shocked when the whole thing goes up in flames. That’s Minneapolis right now, and the politicians who turned a Minnesota neighborhood into a powder keg have the audacity to demand answers from everyone but themselves… The message from Minnesota’s leadership was clear: resistance at all costs…Violent and untrained. Let that sink in. That’s what the governor of Minnesota calls the men and women enforcing federal law. But here’s the detail that didn’t make it into Walz’s righteous condemnation: according to the Department of Homeland Security, the suspect was armed with a gun and two magazines. Not an innocent bystander. Not a peaceful protester. Someone carrying a weapon and extra ammunition in a city where federal agents have been painted as enemy combatants for weeks…The tragedy here isn’t that federal law enforcement showed up in Minnesota. It’s that Minnesota’s leaders made absolutely sure someone would eventually get hurt—then pointed fingers at everyone but the mirror. But hey, at least they got their headlines.

Gun Fired in Coon Rapids Fried Chicken Restaurant Bathroom, Somali Youths Allegedly Involved in Theft Attempt
https://americanjournaldaily.com/somali-youths-theft-gun/
For years, conservatives have pointed to troubling trends in Minnesota’s Somali community. Reports of welfare fraud. Stories of young men traveling overseas to join terrorist organizations. A culture that—let’s be honest here—has a reputation for piracy, violence, and gunfire that isn’t exactly a secret. Each time these concerns were raised, the response from the left was predictable: accusations of racism, xenophobia, and fearmongering…a group described as “Somali kids” fired a gun inside the bathroom of a chicken restaurant. As if that weren’t enough, they allegedly tried to steal money from the tip jar on their way out the door…Just another day in what’s becoming an increasingly unrecognizable Minnesota…The incident didn’t make mainstream news. Apparently a gunshot in a suburban restaurant bathroom is too small to warrant coverage. (Let that sink in for a moment…Normal day in Mogadishu, Somalia. You see Somalians with assault rifles and the sounds of gunfire everywhere. Importing any amount of people from Somalia is suicide for your own country.When gunshots ring out in suburban restaurant bathrooms, maybe it’s time to stop dismissing such observations as mere bigotry…This isn’t about hating anyone. It’s about protecting American communities and demanding that those who come here respect our laws and our way of life. That’s not xenophobia. That’s common sense.

Schumer, Dems Ramp Things Up With Ugly Move on DHS Funding Bill After Border Patrol Shooting

Democrats just seem to want to keep ramping up the anti-ICE chaos… they will not advance the appropriations bill if it includes DHS… What they would get as part of this appropriations bill, now in question, are things like body cams that Democrats wanted. So if they vote against it, they’re voting against the greater transparency they say they wanted, and it’s hitting more on other areas of DHS as this report indicates. Fox’s Bill Melugin said not passing this would more hurt the Transportation Security Adminitration (TSA) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

‘This Is Not a Protest’: Former Special Ops Soldier Says Insurgent Tactics Being Used in Minnesota
https://www.westernjournal.com/not-protest-former-special-ops-soldier-says-insurgent-tactics-used-minnesota/
…a former U.S. Army Special Forces soldier, says the tactics being employed in Minneapolis by leftists agigators are reminiscent of insurgency tactics he witnessed in Afghanistan…“These people have spotters… all over the city,”..“So they see who pulls in and out of the federal building, whether they’re ICE agents or not. They want to track you down, they want to put you in a database, and then it’s shared, according to DHS sources, through Signal chats.”…What’s unfolding in Minneapolis right now isn’t ‘protest.’ It’s low-level insurgency infrastructure, built by people who’ve clearly studied the playbook,”…“Signal groups at 1,000-member cap per zone. Dedicated roles: mobile chasers, plate checkers logging vehicle data into shared databases, 24/7 dispatch nodes vectoring assets, SALUTE-style reporting (Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, Equipment) on suspected federal vehicles,”

There are a lot of genuinely stupid people in this country…Moronic leftists daring officers to hit them makes for great social media street cred in the cosplaying social justice warrior game…The entire “protest” movement seems like a mating dance for people who otherwise wouldn’t ever get laid…These people do not understand how the real world works. They have spent their adult lives in a safe space created by the left to manipulate people, to control them. A bubble where an ever-growing list of words are not allowed, thoughts are not allowed, where no sexually deviant lifestyle is even frowned upon and where government subsidies pay for a lot of it. These people seem to genuinely think they can “win” some sort of victory through chanting and marching. They think they can shout their way into what they see as justice, or that they can block traffic and close businesses into a majority.They are ignorant, brainwashed people playing dangerous and stupid games with law enforcement. If you do that long enough, no matter how much restraint law enforcement can show, you will eventually win stupid prizes. That’s what we’re seeing now. The Justice Department is not run by George Soros, local District Attorneys will drop charges, the feds won’t. Soros prosecutors will slap wrists, the feds will pummel you to the point that you’ll forget where you are. And these people deserve it. They’ve decided to play these stupid games…

Let’s start with a screen recording of all members of the south side group,”,,,he group’s core operations include organizing mobile patrols that continuously search for suspected federal vehicles. When a vehicle is flagged, its details are shared with designated “plate checkers,” who cross-reference the information against a database of known federal assets and update the records if a match is confirmed…”Dispatch runs a maxed-out call all day, telling protesters where ICE has been spotted and how they can best be impeded,”

What’s the Rest of the Story?
https://vineofliberty.com/2026/01/26/whats-the-rest-of-the-story/
I am a proponent of keeping government small. (No, smaller than that. That’s still too much government. Put more back. More.) I believe the government has reverse Midas touch: everything it touches turns to shit…it’s important to watch all people in positions of power…the vast majority of people working for ICE are morally upright, good people just trying to do a very difficult job, made worse by idiotic protesters and rioters. But there is always the possibility of there being a bad guy in their midst. Just as there are bad cops, there are probably bad ICE agents. It behooves us, especially those of us supporting ICE, to keep an eye on them.
The Left would like to paint this as “comply with your oppressors.” It’s not, though. They’re LEOs and generally speaking, they aren’t doing anything wrong. They’re going after people with bench warrants, judicial warrants, removal orders, and the like. They’re doing the job we asked them to. They’re not going rampaging through cities, “deporting US citizens” (I can’t believe how asinine that sounds). They’re rounding up criminals, mostly violent but sometimes there are collateral with others. That means we’re going to have to show papers sometimes, and while that sucks, I can live with it for a bit longer until we clean up the streets.

He’s dead because he FA’d and found out. Our AG and the director of the FBI both made public statements to the effect that bringing a gun to a protest means you are intending violence and is illegal and can get you shot.

So, Iran. Part 2 – What are we dealing with?
https://thelawdogfiles.substack.com/p/so-iran-part-2
1) The Mullahs – the Iranian mullahs diverge from Twelver orthodoxy is that they believe that if the entire world is aflame in war and conflict, it will force the Twelfth Imam to reveal himself and start the whole punting process. In essence, they think they’re jogging God’s elbow — and it’s their holy duty to do so.
2) The Basij – Best thought of as your neighborhood Karen with clubs and a whole-hearted belief in their Righteous and Holy Duty To Be Bastards. Basijis are unpaid paramilitary volunteers who have decided that since the mullahs can’t be everywhere, they’ll help carry out “the Imam’s Will”
3) Ansar-e Hezbollah – What happens when you have a particularly vicious basiji? you give them a paycheque, formal training, add them to The Supporters of the Party of God, and assign them to important particular mullahs. Where the basij will break up a riot With Prejudice, the Ansar-e Hezbollah will guesstimate who the riot leaders are, follow them home, then show up later with knives, cattle prods, and molotov cocktails.
4) Sepah-e Pasdaran – The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Not only the terrorist’s terrorists, but a military-industrial complex of a level that should only exist in the sweaty dreams of conspiracy theorists.
I realize that there are plenty of other segments of Iranian political/religious hierarchy — Army, Military Intelligence, Guardian Council, Expediency Council — that are also problems, but — honestly — they all pretty much fall into one of the above-listed Major Pains In the Arse.

So rather than making angry TikTok videos in kitchens and bathroom mirrors, they are hitting the road, literally. The AWFLs have been recording menacing messages of ill intent, promising harm to come, and practicing haiku or whatever sort of martial arts they think is trendy.

#USTOO: Men are fed up with female insanity. Here’s what they tell me.
https://www.theblaze.com/align/ustoo-men-are-fed-up-with-female-insanity-heres-what-they-tell-me
‘Empowered’ women without prudence or accountability are ruining lives — and destroying society…I know of two licensed mental health counselors, both gay men, who will no longer accept female clients because it is too dangerous to be alone behind closed doors with women. Even if you’re gay…I.E. Bob, hotel executive – Sam, husband – Gary, piano teacher – Alex, aspiring husband and father – I have some ideas about what needs to change in order for American men and women to build fulfilling lives with each other again.
1) The family has to be put first again, not last.
2) Leftist derision of traditional family values needs to be loudly mocked and excoriated. It’s time those on that side are made to pipe down the way they’ve been shutting up the right since the 1960s. Or, in Archie Bunker terms, “stifle it.”
3) Men have to stop accepting this shrew behavior from women. And they have to take the risk of being called “misogynist” in the interim period while women scream and object. We have to go through the problem and take the wounds before we can get to peace on the other side.
4) Sane women ***(and there are a lot of them; they tend to be married with children and conservative) will need to put social pressure on the bitch contingent. Don’t maintain friendships with women like this, and tell them why. Defend your husbands and the male sex when your girlfriends talk them down. Turn their mean-girl rhetoric right back on them.

When the women in your family go nuts
https://disaffectedpod.substack.com/p/when-the-women-in-your-family-go
From friends, consulting/counseling clients, and from reading online, I’m hearing from a number of men whose female family members, mainly but not exclusively their mothers, have become impossible to bear. Yes, it’s about woke/Trump/the election. Or about abortion, or LGBTQ, or about feeding “migrants,” or about any of the other bugbears that obsess today’s leftists…We have been out of balance in the home, and in society, for a very long time. If we can fix this, it will take a very long time. I think we must. Men, I’m asking you again to pluck up your courage (we’ve all gotten really wimpy) and start saying “no” to this kind of excess in your wives or girlfriends or family members. No, it won’t make you popular in the short term. Yes, it may mean in some cases that you have to withdraw from a relationship or put more distance there for a time.

Trump Threatens To Invoke Insurrection Act As Left-Wing Chaos In Minneapolis Spreads

In response to overnight left-wing chaos, what can only be described as the Democratic Party’s “George Floyd 2.0” attempt, President Trump wrote on Truth Social about the very real possibility of invoking the Insurrection Act. The Insurrection Act would allow Trump to deploy active-duty military forces or federalize the National Guard within the Democratic-run state to restore order as Democrats allow left-wing groups to go rogue. The act has not been invoked **since the 1992 Los Angeles riots. (Q: Where can you get a fully automatic weapon? A: from looting federal vehicles – jlr)

https://gellerreport.com/2026/01/only-good-agent-is-a-dead-one-its-time-for-the-insurrection-act-trump-prepares-to-act.html/
“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, and quickly put an end to the travesty that is taking place in that once great State,”
The Insurrection Act, an 1807 law, has not been invoked since the 1992 Los Angeles riots. The order allows the president to deploy the military to suppress rebellions and enforce federal laws. If invoked, it would grant Trump the authority to federalize the National Guard and deploy active duty forces to restore order. It would temporarily override the Posse Comitatus Act, which normally restricts the use of the military for domestic law enforcement.
(I.E., Martial law would be declared. Arrestees would be tried by a military tribunal, not civilian courts. And possibly detained in GITMO – jlr)

Sometimes it feels as if the Democrats have been in a state of continuous protest since the morning of Nov. 9, 2016. I know that they didn’t wait long to kick things off after it was announced that Donald Trump would be the 45th president of the United States. Leftist politics are inherently immature (“Daddy, I want an Oompa Loompa and I want him NOW!”), so thoughtful responses to any opposition are impossible. They just get their public sector union goons to offer unemployed people a ride and a free lunch, then tell them to “protest.” After 40-plus years of conservative activism, I am a veteran of quite a few, um, interactions with Dem-supported protest groups. I really got to know them during the Tea Party years — especially the frothing Occupy Wall Street loons. Believe me when I say that there are no organic protests on the left — they’re all the result of coordinated, astroturfed agitation.

Sorry, only bleeding heart liberals are going to feel bad for this kid, who got shot in the face with a rubber bullet by federal agents while trying to interfere with an arrest. The best way to avoid getting shot by law enforcement is to not interfere with their operations. You people don’t have some special shield that protects you, and feelings aren’t a defense. Those who don’t follow that simple, common-sense rule get the Renee Nicole Good treatment, aka being buried six feet under.

Independence Spreading Across State Lines
Fellow Texan,
While most Americans were still nursing their New Year’s resolutions, lawmakers in New Hampshire filed a bill to study independence. That’s not a typo. The question of self-determination is spreading—and Texas is leading the way.

New Hampshire Follows Texas’s Lead on Independence
House Bill 1441 heads to a public hearing in Concord on January 23rd. If passed, it would create a commission to study the economic, legal, and social implications of New Hampshire exercising its sovereign rights—including outright independence.
The NHEXIT movement, which we’ve worked alongside for years, is mobilizing supporters ahead of the hearing. I’ve joined their calls, compared notes with their organizers, and watched them build something real. This isn’t a copycat effort—it’s a parallel movement that’s been developing for years. But there’s no question that Texas’s momentum has helped fuel independence conversations in statehouses from Concord to Juneau.
If you can’t make the trip to New Hampshire (and I don’t expect most of you can), you can still help. Contact New Hampshire legislators and tell them you stand with the principle of self-determination. When the question gets asked in Austin, we’ll want friends who asked it first in their own capitals.
What this means: Every state that seriously examines independence makes it harder for critics to dismiss TEXIT as a fringe Texas obsession. This is becoming a national conversation.

https://texianpartisan.com/global/north-america/new-hampshire-legislature-to-consider-independence-study-commission/

The Treason Myth Collapses Under Its Own Weight
Every time we gain ground, someone trots out the scare tactic: ‘Secession is treason. You’ll all be arrested.’ It’s designed to shut down the conversation before it starts. And it’s completely wrong.
Here’s the history they hope you never learn. After the Civil War, federal prosecutors arrested Jefferson Davis and charged him with treason. If anyone could be convicted for secession, it was him. They held him for two years—then dropped the charges. Why? Because Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase himself admitted that bringing Davis to trial would ‘condemn the North, for by the Constitution, secession is not rebellion.’
Treason requires levying war against the United States. Sedition requires force to overthrow the government. What are we doing? Asking the Texas Legislature to give you a vote. That’s democracy, not rebellion. Article I, Section 10 of the Constitution lists everything states can’t do—coin money, grant titles of nobility, make war without being invaded. Withdrawing from the union? Not on the list.
What this means: The legal foundation for TEXIT is solid. Don’t let fear tactics silence a conversation the Founders never intended to criminalize.

Cherokee County: How Independence Gets Built
Monday evening. Milano’s Pizza in Rusk. Six volunteers. Two hours. Twenty-five conversations. One new supporter.
That might not sound like much to the Austin crowd that measures success in press releases and donor checks. But David Breunig and his team understand something the political class doesn’t: movements are built one conversation at a time, in restaurant meeting rooms and church fellowship halls, by people who show up when nobody’s watching.
The evening’s best moment? A man who’d attended a previous event brought his wife to learn more. She signed up. That’s how it works. Personal relationships drive political change. Cherokee County launched as an official TNM county group last June. They’re one of dozens of counties now actively organizing. And every one of those counties is a building block for the day we finally put this question to a vote.
What this means: We don’t need permission from Austin or Washington. We need neighbors talking to neighbors in all 254 counties.
Read the full story: Volunteers Build Independence Movement in Cherokee County
David Breunig didn’t wait for someone to organize Cherokee County. He stepped up. Your county needs someone like that. Maybe it’s you.
Connect with Your County
The conversation is spreading—from Texas to New Hampshire, from the Partisan to the statehouse. Keep talking. Keep showing up. That’s how we win.

Daniel Miller
President
Texas Nationalist Movement
P.S. If you’re in New Hampshire or know someone who is, that hearing is January 23rd at 1:00 PM in Concord. Show up if you can.

The AWFUL Truth About Minnesota
https://wilderwealthywise.com/the-awful-truth-about-minnesota/
Ah, the AWFULs. If you haven’t heard the term yet, it stands for Affluent White Female Urban Liberal. It’s the kind of acronym that makes mainstream media clutch their pearls…The term bothers them because it’s true… AWFUL isn’t just a label. It’s a symptom of a society where their ascendant political power has left GloboLeft women unfulfilled and GloboLeft men emasculated. AWFULs are modern versions of those women Orwell wrote about: fanatical, slogan-chanting, spying on “wrongthink” via social media. They police language, cancel dissent, all while their weak men nod along. Orwell knew. Without strong men, women become the regime’s enforcers.

MSM Melting Down Over New Term For Liberal White Women
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/msm-melting-down-over-new-term-liberal-white-women
…the liberal media has found yet another offensive word to whinge over…the objectionable term is the acronym AWFUL, which stands for Affluent White Female Urban Liberal. Another variant is AWFL…The acronym so scandalized the New York Times that it even tattled to the Department of Homeland Security about it and its growing popularity…After years of using terms like “Nazi” and “fascist” against Trump and Republicans, the paper’s outrage over AWFUL rings hollow. . The acronym simply states observable demographic and ideological facts. Affluent, white, female, urban, and liberal are not slurs. Yes, the acronym is clever, but its implied criticism is far milder than the relentless, extreme rhetoric the New York Times has long published against the right, particularly President Trump.

NYC Socialists Prepare Mass Mobilization Of 4,000 Anti-ICE Army

New York City’s Democratic Socialists of America effort to assemble a highly organized anti-ICE army of purple-haired leftists to impede federal deportation operations is particularly alarming because the planning phase was apparently being done at an upscale Midtown headquarters of the Chinese Communist Party-linked People’s Forum, a venue littered with pro-Communism rhetoric…Most concerning is that a dark-money NGO network tied to a CCP-linked communist billionaire, Neville Roy Singham, was allegedly at the center of this anti-ICE chaos and potentially seen as a command-and-control support node to organize nationwide protests.

Liberal Gun Things that make you go “Whut?”
I am not 100% sure, but it looks like a carbine-length AR 15 upper which makes it a legal long bun, with a silencer. Why does it have a brace rather than a regular stock? I have the strange feeling this gentleman had a pistol AR and then decided to swap uppers to cosplay Pro-Illegal-Alien Tactical Neighborhood Watch. If my guess is right, I wonder if he knows that legally he can go from pistol to rifle, but going back the pistol way is a violation of Federal law.

And even go higher than previous years on many of the programs that DOGE slashed.”

California Progressives Push Wealth Tax on Billionaires, Citing Migrant Voter Power
https://americanjournaldaily.com/ca-progressives-migrants/
Progressives are using migrants’ voting power — and threats of a populist revolution — to grab a huge share of Silicon Valley’s stock-market wealth via a tax plan on California’s November ballot. “You made all your money in California, you ungrateful piece of shit,” Kara Swisher, a progressive journalist in California, told one of the billionaires targeted by the ballot initiative. “We deserve the taxes from you,” added Swisher, who is wealthy, far-left, childless, and pro-migration…And there you have it. The mask isn’t just slipping anymore; it’s been ripped clean off. This isn’t some complex political strategy—it’s a heist, plain and simple. For years, Democrats have orchestrated a border crisis, creating a massive dependent class that looks to the government for everything. We are now witnessing the endgame. They are weaponizing this population to create a permanent voting bloc that will gladly vote to confiscate the wealth of American citizens.

California Governor Responds as Phillips 66 Refinery Begins Shutdown
https://uschecknews24h.com/habtv/california-governor-responds-as-phillips-66-refinery-begins-shutdown/
Eight days ago, California’s energy infrastructure collapsed in ways nobody saw coming. On December 15th, California’s largest inland oil pipeline shut down permanently…carried crude oil from Bakersfield’s oil fields to Northern California’s refineries for 70 years…The company operating it was losing $2 million every month…Northern California’s refineries lost their primary crude oil source overnight…Valero already announced they are closing the Benicia facility in April…California’s energy crisis is no longer theoretical. It is real. It is happening now.

Radical Groups Like Renee Good’s Are Tailing ICE All Over America

A crowdsourced map of alleged ICE activity throughout the U.S., complete with photos and license plate numbers, is also available on “Stop ICE,” an anonymously-run website featured on Minnesota ICE Watch’s Linktree page. The Department of Homeland Security filed a subpoena seeking to identify an Instagram user affiliated with the site in September due to alleged “doxxing,” but withdrew the request after litigation led by the American Civil Liberties Union and Civil Liberties Defense Center, court records show. The Instagram user denied any wrongdoing.

They’re worried that the state’s political environment has turned against business creation and that it will be safer to invest elsewhere…One particularly momentous policy choice has the potential to strip the founders of some of the world’s largest companies of their controlling interests and force them to sell off a significant portion of their shares.”

Texas Attorney General issues sweeping opinion against DEI

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton issued a wide-ranging legal opinion Monday declaring many diversity, equity and inclusion policies unconstitutional across state government, schools and public institutions, according to a release from the Office of the Attorney General of Texas, or OAG. The opinion states that decades of DEI-related statutes and frameworks violate both the U.S Constitution and Texas Constitution, including programs that consider race or sex in hiring, contracting or appointments. The release also mentioned that private companies using DEI practices could face legal liability under state and federal law…The opinion doesn’t carry the weight of law, but it could influence agency executives, school officials, and local governments to abandon DEI initiatives.

I don’t know how this will go because you are not talking about a bunch that is properly armed and even less trained, but then again you just need a couple of idjits with guns to down a Fed or two and the response will be a return of very accurate fire, the very possibility of “protesters” rushing towards the Feds shooting and the obligatory downing of idiots These is the same state where several morons rushed against Kyle Rittenhouse, so yes, I believe that may happen.

How to Protest Safely
https://vineofliberty.com/2026/01/14/how-to-protest-safely/
While protesting, in and of itself, is not protected by our Constitution, American do consider it to be a right. As with all things, though, there is a right and a wrong way to go about it. We’ve all seen plenty of the “bad” way of doing it on social media of late. So let me share with you the same information I shared with my children when they wanted to join a protest at school…
If all of the above is not being taught to you by the people organizing your protests, then they are not safe people. Stop, walk away.
They may only be ignorant, which is dangerous…or they could be using you as cannon fodder, which is even more dangerous, for you.

KBJ Comes Up With a New Word in SCOTUS Trans Athletes Case That Has Everyone in Stitches

What the heck is “cisginger”? I thought perhaps I misheard it and listened to it a few times to make sure. But it wasn’t slurred; it was quite clear. Does that mean a redheaded kid who still identifies as a redheaded kid? Um, that’s called reality. But it’s an example of how people toss around invented terms like “cisgender,” and, in this case, don’t even know what they are saying.
It instantly made me think of South Park and how they mocked the subject, jokingly referring to “transginger.”
