Texas Gun Rights Target Virginia’s Flood of Gun Control Bills
https://bearingarms.com/tomknighton/2026/02/03/texas-gun-rights-target-flood-virginia-gun-bills-n1231426
Gun owners in Virginia are getting a front-row seat to what happens when Democrats have full control. 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 Plague Was RACIST! The Left Goes Medieval in Its Hunger for Bigotry
https://pjmedia.com/kevindowneyjr/2023/11/22/black-plague-black-women-andracist-fleas-the-left-goes-medieval-in-its-hunger-for-bigotry-n4924142
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.

Our Partisan Press: Reviewer Issues Scathing ‘Melania’ Critique, but He Never Even Saw It
https://redstate.com/bradslager/2026/02/02/the-partisan-press-on-the-documentary-melania-involves-a-scathing-review-from-a-critic-who-never-saw-it-n2198761
Keith Uhlich: Full disclosure: I will never watch “Melania”. And my sole comment on it is that pondering fellow NYU alum and perennial no-talent Brett Ratner’s reinvention as idjit Leni Riefenstahl gets me all a-titter, with heartier guffaws if I imagine him on-set looking like semi-doppelgänger Jonah Hill in the “Married Your Cousin” scene from “The Wolf of Wall Street.”

The Sheer Viciousness of So Many ‘Melania’ Reviews Proves Yet Again How Much the Elitist Media Hates You

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, HervĂŠ 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. Wouldn’t this be a 10 on the scale of discriminatory rhetoric?

Video of a woman encouraging people to “start training for MAGA and ICE” is going viral for all the wrong reasons.Is it satire? Is it a genuine message for the left? Who knows, but the most important part is that it’s gut-bustingly funny. It’s truly a see-it-to-believe-it moment that appears to encourage people to “train” to confront federal agents conducting federal immigration enforcement operations around the nation.

Warning: Major Dem Meltdown Underway in TX As Senate Frontrunner Is Accused of Using ‘Racist’ Trope
https://redstate.com/terichristoph/2026/02/02/allred-accuses-talarico-of-racist-remark-n2198764
It’s getting heated down in Texas, y’all. Not the weather, of course, but the infighting between Democrats vying for various public offices. The grievance Olympics are well underway in the Lone Star state, and it’s a race to the bottom…The offender, apparently, is James Talarico, a Democrat state representative who is in a close U.S. Senate primary battle against Crockett. 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.

Anti-ICE Crew Allegedly Assaults Journalist for Investigating Their Minneapolis ‘Checkpoint’
https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2026/02/02/those-anti-ice-checkpoints-in-minneapolis-are-already-a-problem-n2198752
If you didn’t already think the anti-ICE folks had gone off the rails, the story I reported on earlier Monday indicated they were making an even more problematic move. They were setting up what they termed “community-driven checkpoints” in intersections in Minneapolis. The idea is that they would thereby screen for and stop ICE agents from getting into their neighborhood. You know, almost like a border check. The irony was just off the charts.

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?

Another secret Chinese biolab found on US soil?

Following the discovery that Chinese communist agents were coordinating intimidation, espionage, and coercion campaigns out of illegal police stations in the United States, officials found something potentially more threatening in Reedley, California: a Chinese biolab containing deadly pathogens including Ebola. The secret Chinese lab apparently was not one of a kind. The House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party noted in its report on the Reedley biolab that the California lab operated under the direction and control of Zhu, a Chinese citizen associated with communist regime-linked companies as well with Chinese military-civil fusion entities…unlawfully in the U.S., Zhu set up a network of companies and accumulated a vast supply of potential pathogens including including Ebola, COVID-19, HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis, which he is accused of keeping and poorly storing at one or more unlicensed and unregistered labs…One lab worker reportedly told local officials that the transgenic mice were altered “to catch and carry the COVID-19 virus.”

The woke tide may be receding in the popular culture, but far-left fantasists are still everywhere, endlessly devising new ways to sow confusion, resentment, and self-hatred among Americans and Westerners in general. And so now comes the news that the greatest writer in the English language, the touchstone of everything literature can and should be, the world’s premier dead white male of all dead white males, was not white or male at all. Or at least leftists want you to think he wasn’t. According to a new book that is getting adulatory reviews from leftists, William Shakespeare was really a black woman, and really, what else could he possibly have been?

The anti-ICE folks were ticked, claiming the police “collude” with ICE and “stole” their barricades. No, they’re clearing the street of your unlawful checkpoint.

Federal Judge Blocks Texas From Defending Energy Sector
https://texianpartisan.com/news/texasnews/federal-judge-blocks-texas-from-defending-energy-sector/
U.S. District Judge Alan Albright ruled Wednesday that Texas cannot prevent its own pension funds from being invested with companies that boycott the state’s energy sector. The February 4 decision struck down Senate Bill 13, a 2021 law designed to protect Texas’ largest industry from Wall Street’s climate agenda. The ruling demonstrates a fundamental problem with the federal system: Texas voters elect representatives who pass laws defending Texas interests, and federal judges with lifetime appointments overrule them. The pattern continues regardless of which party controls Washington or which president appoints the judges. Albright is a Trump appointee, confirmed by the Senate in September 2018. His ruling sided with financial firms over Texas sovereignty, declaring that forcing state pension funds to divest from companies boycotting fossil fuels violated the First and Fourteenth Amendments. The decision protects Wall Street’s right to target Texas energy while denying Texas the right to respond…………..

It allegedly caused concern within Washington regarding the procedures for reviewing the complaint and communicating with Congress.

Furthermore, the inspector general’s office examined the complaint and concluded that it lacked credibility, thus delivering a decisive rebuttal to the narrative propagated by certain media outlets.

Mobs are an organism. They act like a living creature.

That mob did not turn into a riot; they just did things that, as individuals, they would not normally do. The reason that it didn’t turn into a riot was because there was no drive among the people to be violent…One of the interesting, but not surprising, features of the “mobs” in MN is just how well organized they are. All of which leads me to believe that they are not organic. There are parts that are useful fools/tools. But there are other parts that are most definitely acting to destabilize societal norms in the area. To foment a revolution.

Texas Implements New SNAP Work Requirements Under Trump Administration Bill
https://americanjournaldaily.com/texas-food-stamps-trump
The new rules, announced by the Texas Health and human Services Commission (HSSC), require SNAP recipients to perform at least 20 hours of work per week or 80 hours per month. Recipients must document and report all hours worked to the HSSC to remain eligible for benefits…Predictably, Texas is charging ahead while liberal states are doing everything they can to avoid responsibility…In conservative states like Texas, the goal is independence. In blue states like New York, the goal is compliance and permanent dependency. Texas is providing the national blueprint for how to dismantle the welfare machine. By having the courage to implement President Trump’s vision, the Lone Star State is proving it’s possible to break the cycle and restore American values. This is more than just a minor policy update; it’s a restoration of our national character. It’s a powerful declaration that in America, we still believe in the power of the individual and the virtue of hard work—a comeback made possible by a President who wasn’t afraid to challenge the welfare establishment.

Governor signs medical compact, transportation bill and Immigrant Safety Act

The Immigrant Safety Act is sponsored by Reps. Eleanor ChĂĄvez, Andrea Romero, Marianna Anaya, Angelica Rubio and New Mexico State Senator Joseph Cervantes. New Mexico is one of 8 states that have introduced or passed legislation to shut down immigrant detention facilities. Those states include California, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Oregon and Washington. Currently, there are three immigration detention facilities in New Mexico which include: Torrance County Detention facility, Otero County Processing Center and the Cibola County Detention Center.

Democrats Just Gave Away The Real Reason They’re Fighting Immigration Enforcement
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/democrats-just-gave-away-real-reason-theyre-fighting-immigration-enforcement
In a letter to GOP leadership, they demanded a slate of “reforms” to immigration enforcement as the price for funding the Department of Homeland Security, including targeted enforcement, no masks, mandatory use of body cameras, and other demands, several of which I suspect are nonstarters. I don’t see Democrats getting anywhere with these, but the big thing is that buried in that list is a rather revealing demand: Protect Sensitive Locations – Prohibit funds from being used to conduct enforcement near sensitive locations, including medical facilities, schools, child-care facilities, churches, polling places, courts, etc.
Polling places?
They went out of their way to include polling places right alongside hospitals, courts, and churches. There is only one thing that happens at polling places that would matter to illegal immigrants, and it is not the bake sale.
Democrats have insisted for years that illegal immigrants cannot and do not vote, and that the whole issue is a right-wing myth. If that is true, then why is “polling places” even on their list of protected zones for immigration violators? No one accidentally adds “polling places” to a policy letter being negotiated at the leadership level. This is deliberate. It gives away what they are worried about… and what they are counting on.

The Trump administration will publish a notice in the Federal Register on Friday that will demolish the slow-moving process of deporting illegals. The proposed rule aims to streamline the current process and reduce the backlog of cases that has nearly brought the system to a screeching halt. That said, we know it faces an uphill fight as federal judges, acting without jurisdiction, will certainly declare the changes improper at some point. The Federal Register notice titled RIN 1125-AB37, Appellate Procedures for the Board of Immigration Appeals, extensively overhauls the current process that could lead an immigration case to the Supreme Court.

With Voter ID, Somalia Is Embarrassing America Over Election Integrity
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.

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.

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.

Cuba Shutters Beach Resorts As Fuel Crisis Spreads Economy-Wide
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/cuba-shutters-beach-resorts-fuel-crisis-spreads-economy-wide
What piqued our interest about a week ago was a sanctioned Russian Ilyushin Il-76, operated by Aviacon Zitotrans, touching down at a Cuban military airfield. The jet can carry up to 50 tons of cargo or roughly 200 personnel, but there has been no official word on its cargo. 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.

Texas Wind and Solar Failed During This Week’s Winter Storm, Grid Carried by ‘Natural Gas and Coal’
Report: Texas Wind and Solar Failed During This Week’s Winter Storm, Grid Carried by ‘Natural Gas and Coal’
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.

Gen Z Just Broke The IQ Wheel
https://www.cypher-news.com/2026/02/gen-z-just-broke-the-iq-wheel/
For well over a century, intelligence scores have steadily climbed as education systems expanded. That’s long been the formula and the trend, until Gen Z. This generation grew up inside a culture built on immediacy, where information is constant, searchable, and compressed. Attention is pulled in multiple directions at once, and the skill most rewarded today is basically speed.

"London, UK - March 26, 2011: A breakaway group of protesters clash with police during a large austerity rally."

Mobs

Mobs are an organism. They act like a living creature. They might be made of people, but they react in known and predictable ways.

Mobs move in the path of least resistance towards their goal. If one person chooses a different path, others in the mob will follow, not a lot. But more people will follow those, and pretty soon there is a significant part of the mob moving in that new direction.

This is why breaking contact with the mob can be difficult. You need to fade out of the mob, not attract attention that causes parts to follow.

When there is a junction, the mob will flow down multiple paths from that junction unless guided. This is how multiple blocks can become involved with the mob: they move in the same general direction, but they fill all available space.

Mobs avoid hard points. They will flow around those hard points, but hard points cause a pain-like response, and the mob recoils from contact.

Riots are a type of mob behavior. My mentor told the story of how he and his Johns Hopkins buddies rushed to the rowhouse of one of the buddy’s moms. There they set up in the front window with long guns.

As the story was recounted to me, every rowhouse on that block suffered serious damage except for three. The rowhouse they were in and the two rowhouses directly across the street from them.

The mob avoided that hardpoint. It wasn’t worth the pain, and the organism retreated.

Mobs are dangerous. People get caught up in them and don’t know how to extract themselves. People that would never dream of being violent or vandalizing property will do it without even a thought. They follow anybody who acts like a leader.

During student protests that turned into riots at my University in the 60s, before I got there, there was no vandalism until one person threw a brick through the plate glass window of an upscale store. The student newspaper ran a picture of the man throwing that brick through the window to go with the story of the police vowing to track down the student who did it.

Oh, the man throwing the brick? He was dressed as a police officer.

The REST of the windows, those were broken by students who followed suit. Once one act of violence happened, the rest of the mob followed suit.

During the January 6th march to the Capitol, instigators changed the protest into a mob. That mob did not turn into a riot; they just did things that, as individuals, they would not normally do.

The reason that it didn’t turn into a riot was because there was no drive among the people to be violent.

We compare that to the BLM riots.

In Kenosha, we saw protests turn to mobs turn to riots. One of the interesting things that was caught on camera was people in all-black clothing, carrying umbrellas, throwing those first bricks. Starting the process of turning the mob into a riot.

The people in the streets were already angry. The media had been stirring up hate and anger for days and weeks. It took very little to drive the protests into mobs and the mobs into riots.

But there are things that mobs don’t do. They don’t have Command and Control structures. They don’t have security details. They don’t have assigned tasks for different units. They don’t have units.

One of the interesting, but not surprising, features of the “mobs” in MN is just how well organized they are.

All of which leads me to believe that they are not organic. There are parts that are useful fools/tools. But there are other parts that are most definitely acting to destabilize societal norms in the area. To foment a revolution.

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.

In Birmingham, a convicted terrorist with a documented history of jihadist violence, criminality, and incendiary Islamist rhetoric is now standing for local office, presenting himself as a “unifier.” Shahid Butt, jailed for his role in an armed terror plot and openly advocating violence, religious segregation, and confrontation with “disbelievers,” is being normalized as a legitimate political actor. This is what a fading civilization looks like: one afraid to name its enemies, willing to rebrand extremism as activism, and mistaking intimidation for representation.

Its locations appear to be empty buildings, its wines are unavailable, and once attention was turned to its sketchy nature, all the information about it disappeared from the internet.

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.

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.”

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’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.

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’
https://redstate.com/rusty-weiss/2026/01/29/700-boxes-of-ballots-seized-after-fbi-fulton-county-warrant-dems-try-to-develop-legal-plan-n2198658
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?

Straight Up ROFL! Don Lemon’s Attorney’s Statement on Arrest ALMOST As Hilarious As Arrest Itself
https://twitchy.com/samj/2026/01/30/statement-from-lemons-lawyer-n2424505
“Don has been a journalist for 30 years, and his constitutionally protected work in Minneapolis was no different than what he has always done. 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. Don will fight these charges vigorously and thoroughly in court.”

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
https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/reality-rugpull
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.

Ilhan Omar Has Bizarre Response When Questioned About What She Did After Being Sprayed by Vinegar
https://www.westernjournal.com/ilhan-omar-bizarre-response-questioned-sprayed-vinegar/
The vinegar-spray “truther” argument, made logically, was best expressed by the conservative social media pundit who goes by DataRepublican, who put her thoughts about the Tuesday attack thusly: “Representative Omar continued her town hall because of one of two options: 1. She does not have the self-preservation instincts accompanying being sprayed with a smelly substance, such as getting a doctor to check it out or even as simple as washing it off. 2. 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.

California’s Oil Refining System Has Collapsed, and One Region Is Ground Zero
https://redstate.com/steve-williams/2026/01/31/californias-oil-refining-system-has-collapsed-and-one-region-is-ground-zero-n2198685
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.

CAIR condemned the legislation as “racist” and “Islamophobic.” In November, Abbott signed legislation designating CAIR as a foreign terrorist organization, which banned its operations in the state. On Tuesday, Abbott pushed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to revoke the organization’s nonprofit status. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed an executive order targeting CAIR as well.

In a Friday sermon on January 23, 2026, at the Dar Al Farooq Center in Bloomington, Minnesota, Imam Abdul Malik told congregants that the current moment—when Americans are publicly supporting Muslims in Minnesota should be used to push Islam to the broader public, especially Minnesotans. 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)

Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in a letter to all U.N. member nations obtained Friday by the Associated Press that cash for its regular operating budget could run out by July, which could dramatically affect its operations.

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.

Melania Trump Documentary Scores $8 Million Opening, Best Documentary Box Office Debut in a Decade
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.”

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.

Texas Economy Grows 10.1% Per Capita in Three Years, Outpacing California and Other Sun Belt States
https://istandforfreedom.com/texas-economy-cali-sun/
The Lone Star State saw a 10.1% increase in economic output on a per-capita basis from 2021 to 2024, based on calculations using Bureau of Economic Analysis and U.S. Census figures. In dollar terms, Texas boosted economic output per resident from roughly $64,000 to nearly $71,000…The battle of ideas has a scoreboard now, and Texas is winning. But winning the argument means nothing if we lose the election. The same forces that turned California into a cautionary tale would happily do the same to the entire country given half a chance. Texas has shown us the path forward.

https://chrisbray.substack.com/p/this-is-ww3-chris-bray-visits-a-riot
You’re not going to believe me, but wait until I’ve showed you the evidence: The anti-ICE riots aren’t an ideological threat. In some ways, they aren’t even political, and they certainly aren’t serious as organized radical violence. They constitute real criminal disorder, with significant destruction and disruption, but there’s something else brewing alongside the organized far-left activism. On Friday night, rioters attacked the federal building in Downtown Los Angeles. It was a genuinely ugly scene, and ended with arrests. There was a modest crowd pressed up against the back of the federal complex when I arrived around 6:30, out by the loading dock, but it grew as the evening went on. More about that in a minute.

Judge Fred Biery penned a politically fueled decision to order the release of the father and son, saying: “Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and **are bereft of human decency. And the rule of law be damned.”

Texas School Choice Program Bans Schools Tied to Chinese Communist Party and Radical Islam
https://americanjournaldaily.com/texas-school-choice/
Governor Greg Abbott, Attorney General Ken Paxton, and acting Comptroller Kelly Hancock, Texas is writing the playbook for what “Accountable Choice” should look like. This is the kind of proactive governance we vote for, but rarely get. It’s leadership. Before a single dollar went out the door, Hancock’s office was meticulously vetting every school applying to the state’s new Education Freedom Account program. When red flags appeared, they didn’t look the other way. Paxton issued a legal opinion confirming the state’s absolute right to deny participation to any school linked to hostile foreign entities. This isn’t just about managing a program; it’s about running government like a business—a concept that would make heads in Washington, D.C. explode. It’s about protecting the taxpayer and ensuring a program meant to free our children isn’t twisted to endanger them…right on cue, the outrage machine fired up. CAIR immediately started threatening lawsuits, howling about “discrimination.” They accused Texas of targeting schools over “imagined interactions” with an organization the governor “happens to dislike.” It’s the oldest trick in the progressive playbook. When the facts expose your agenda, you scream “discrimination” and try to intimidate everyone into silence.
But this is Texas. They don’t scare easily.

‘Midtermunition’: Mamdani Is Already Trashing New York to Third-World Status
https://pjmedia.com/tim-o-brien/2026/02/01/midtermunition-mamdani-is-already-turning-new-york-into-the-third-world-n4948988
Almost a week after New York City got hit with over a foot of snow, the town of 8 million residents is still a mess. Homeless people are dying in the streets. And not only is the unplowed snow making basic transportation a challenge for city residents and visitors, but massive mountains of uncollected garbage are piling up, and Mamdani himself is a big part of the cause of the problem. You still can’t walk on most sidewalks. Buses and taxis can’t navigate major streets and avenues. Residents describe a city that’s “paralyzed,” not by the weather, but by local government’s incompetence under Mamdani. With growing heaps of trash have come armies of scavenging rats. What’s worse is this storm did not catch the Mamdani administration by surprise.

leftists are in favor of insurrectionists now, because the present insurrection, as opposed to the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection theatre, is real, and being ginned up on their side. Trump added a pointed warning for future Renee Goods and Alex Prettis: “Please be aware that I have instructed ICE and/or Border Patrol to be very forceful in this protection of Federal Government Property. There will be no spitting in the faces of our Officers, there will be no punching or kicking the headlights of our cars, and there will be no rock or brick throwing at our vehicles, or at our Patriot Warriors. If there is, those people will suffer an equal, or more, consequence.”… “Therefore, to all complaining Local Governments, Governors, and Mayors, let us know when you are ready, and we will be there — But, before we do so, you must use the word, ‘PLEASE.’ Remember that I stated, in the strongest of language, to BEWARE — ICE, Border Patrol or, if necessary, our Military, will be extremely powerful and tough in the protection of our Federal Property. We will not allow our Courthouses, Federal Buildings, or anything else under our protection, to be damaged in any way, shape, or form. I was elected on a Policy of Border Control (which has now been perfected!), National Security, and LAW AND ORDER — That’s what America wants, and that’s what America is getting! Thank you for your attention to this matter.” That is indeed what America wants. Let us hope that it is what America gets.
The Democrats will stop at nothing to preserve their illegal voter base.

Minnesota’s AG: Churches MUST Allow Don Lemon’s Cameras — but Mosques Need ‘Protection’
https://pjmedia.com/scott-pinsker/2026/01/31/minnesotas-ag-churches-must-allow-don-lemons-cameras-but-mosques-need-protection-n4948956
the attorney general of Minnesota is a Muslim man named Keith Ellison. And whattaya know, Ellison is OUTRAGED by the Trump administration’s arrest of “journalist” Don Lemon, who stormed a church with anti-ICE protesters, filmed private citizens without their consent (while on private property), wouldn’t allow the congregants to worship or leave, and terrified young children…Keith Ellison who’s now defending Don Lemon’s right to film inside a church without the consent of the congregants filed a memorandum on April 17, 2020, in federal district court, to BAN “video harassment” of religious worshippers. But not for all religious worshippers. Christians and Jews weren’t included. Ellison declared that only mosques should be spared the “harassment” of video cameras. You can read his official statement for yourself…Ellison’s press release is explicitly entitled, “Attorney General Ellison defends Minnesotans from video harassment.” but not all Minnesotans! Only Muslims, apparently.(selective reading and enforcement of the 1st Ammendment – jlr)

Neil Young Encounters The Most Boomer Leftist Problem Imaginablehttps://www.zerohedge.com/political/neil-young-encounters-most-boomer-leftist-problem-imaginable
In a rambling post on his website, Young details his epic struggle to ditch Verizon service, convinced that every dollar he spends fuels a “Trump Fascist regime.”…It’s peak boomer leftist TDS paranoia, where everyday consumer choices somehow morph into grand acts of resistance.

Young kicks off his diatribe with the revelation that his flip phone bears the Verizon logo. “Mornin’ folks….It’s a new day….a big day for my Flip phone. I noticed it says VERIZON on it. Of course I can’t use a Verizon phone. Verizon is a supporter of TRUMP with big $!” he writes, as if discovering a hidden swastika etched into the device.

He floats the idea of switching to T-Mobile, only to immediately shoot it down. “I’m going to see if I can just drop Verizon and move to T-Mobile,” he muses, before adding, “But wait….T-MOBILE donated to TRUMP’s Ballroom, which has gone from 200 million to 400 million suddenly. Where is that money going? There is no accounting. So T-Mobile is apparently out.”

The “ballroom” obsession is particularly unhinged; Young fixates on the White House renovation project, questioning “What favors? What companies are donating? Why?” as if uncovering a vast conspiracy.

The absurdity escalates when Young realizes he’s typing on an Apple computer. “HEY THIS IS AN APPLE COMPUTER!—— I have to stop and re-assess. No more upgrades! That feeds Apple, Apple supports ‘The Regime’ with donations,” he exclaims.

He even calls his business manager mid-rant to halt any future Apple spending, decrying CEO Tim Cook for “kissing ass” at a White House event.

Young then threatens to sue Apple if his computer stops working without upgrades, expressing a desire to cling to current versions of Pages and FaceTime because he likes them as they are and doesn’t want them to change.

It’s a hilarious snapshot of boomer tech illiteracy colliding with political zealotry—refusing modern conveniences to own the MAGA crowd.

Young ties it all back to his broader crusade, referencing a list of companies “backing the Fascist Trump Regime” on his website’s editorial page.

“One by one, I am cancelling all contact with each of them. This is not easy, but the alternative – me giving money I got from you, for my music, to the Regime that backed the illegal killings of two Americans. That can’t happen,” he declares.

Young’s rants are getting more and more loony. As we previously covered, he pulled his music from Spotify in 2022 to protest Joe Rogan’s supposed “COVID disinformation,” only to slink back two years later when the pandemic froth died down.

The Intermittent Missive – Ice Edition

Jan 27, 2026

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?

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.

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.

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.

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. Just some galaxy-brain fantasy weaving going on here.

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.”

As we know from years of experience, however, a leftist’s specific grievance of the moment never really matters. Before long, they will move on from anti-ICE protests to whatever comes next…communists will make common cause with useful idiots when necessary. Then, when the violent revolution succeeds, the bloodthirsty revolutionaries will discard and kill the useful idiots. Whether or not that unfortunate lesson of history dawned on the useful idiots in that hotel lobby remains anyone’s guess

Omar’s 2024 disclosure lists her spouse Tim Mynett’s eStCru LLC stake in Santa Rosa, California, valued between $1 million and $5 million, up sharply from $15,001-$50,000 the year before. The winery shows signs of inactivity—no working phone, empty parking lot, dormant social media—while Mynett faced a settled investor fraud lawsuit and a separate debt claim. House Oversight Chairman James Comer launched a review of her wealth rise from near-zero to $6-30 million, tying it to Minnesota fraud reports, as Trump called for DOJ scrutiny; Omar calls the claims misreadings of broad disclosure ranges.

The CEO of a Los Angeles homeless services charity faces federal and state fraud charges after prosecutors said he lived a luxury lifestyle that included lavish vacations and designer clothes paid for with $23 million in public money meant to keep people off the streets. Alexander Soofer, 42, was arrested Friday at his $7 million home that investigators believe he afforded using funds that were supposed to support his nonprofit Abundant Blessings, said First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli…This case was uncovered by local investigators working with law enforcement — exactly the kind of accountability and oversight the state has pushed for,” Newsom’s office said.

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.

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.

We’re not saying they were in fact they were just driving around in what appeared to be unmarked vehicles with tinted windows… drinking coffee and listening to Guns and Roses…. being chased down and surrounded by protestors. What we ARE saying is that if it DID happen…. it sure worked remarkably well in NINE DIFFERENT STATES, allowing ACTUAL raids to successfully take place unimpeded, helping support the capture of HUNDREDS of criminals.

Michelle Obama Admits She Doesn’t Buy “White-Owned” Brands
https://americanjournaldaily.com/obama-racism-whites/
former First Lady Michelle Obama, who just pulled back the curtain on the quiet bigotry that animates the modern Left…What she’s doing is trying to privilege the black-owned brand while avoiding the explicit consequence of that choice. 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.

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)

Suicide by ICE: Leftist Masterminds Are Getting What They Wanted
https://pjmedia.com/tim-o-brien/2026/01/25/suicide-by-ice-n4948732
…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 naĂŻve 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
https://pjmedia.com/scott-pinsker/2026/01/25/pr-fallout-of-the-second-ice-fatality-this-one-is-so-much-worse-and-bloodier-days-are-coming-n4948731
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…….

Tim Walz pounces to smear ‘violent, untrained’ ICE agents after armed suspect shot and killed

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.

Anti-ICE Agitators and ‘Legal Observers’ Losing Strong Majority of Public Support: New Poll

Newly released polling indicates that a clear majority of Americans are supportive of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and believe they should be left unobstructed. 57 percent of Americans believe that ICE agents “should be able to do their job without being impeded or harassed,”…“Voters broadly see illegal immigration as a serious issue that President Trump is properly addressing,”…“There is clear openness for enforcement measures and general approval of the current approach, especially efforts to disrupt cartels and hold foreign actors accountable.”… 74 percent of those surveyed stating that fighting illegal immigration is “an important issue” for both President Donald Trump and Congress to fix

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

…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…

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.

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.

What’s the Rest of the Story?

We all know that the Left and the media (who, though they often do things together, ARE two separate groups with two separate agendas) are not great at giving us all the facts. They post up stories like how ICE arrested a five year old child (not true; they detained the five year old because the parent was being incarcerated and they couldn’t exactly let a five year old go wandering around alone, which is the same thing DCF does when they have a parent arrested… but I digress). A few days ago, I saw a news report about an “elderly gentleman” (their words, which I find extremely offensive considering I’m 55 in 3 days and I’m not f’ing elderly, thankewvrymuch) being “dragged” out of his home in nothing but crocks, his underwear, and his 8 year old grandson’s blanket. I knew there had to be more to the story (and I was correct), but I couldn’t find anything.

Now, 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. Therefore, unless it’s really necessary, the government should just back off. ICE is a government agency, and they are a strong-arm group. For what they’re doing, that’s an important skill, and I’m thankful they are doing as good a job as they appear to be. I mean, for all the Left is freaking out over the “deadliest year for ICE in decades” (NPR), that number of people who died over the entire year is 32. Jails lose more people in a year, by far. That number, 32, is for all of ICE detention centers… LA alone lost 22 inmates to death in 2025. You can shout about their numbers, but ICE seems to be doing a pretty good job.

That said, it’s important to watch all people in positions of power. ICE is a powerful place to be. I firmly believe that 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. I don’t mean in the “citizen monitoring” way, but more in the same way we keep an eye on our politicians.

So when I heard about this elderly gentleman being dragged out of his home after they smashed his door in (in 7*F weather, I might add), I wanted to know more. That sounds bad, and I was worried we’d finally found the one bad apple in the barrel. I did what I usually do: I went looking for actual information, factual stuff.

I didn’t find it.

We’ve discussed AWFLs (Affluent White Liberal Females) many times before here on the blog, but the recent unpleasantness in Minnesota, coupled with a deeply ingrained progressive mental disease sweeping the country like a pandemic, seems to have triggered some latent call to action in their febrile brains. 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
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/left-wing-chaos-continues-minneapolis-federal-vehicles-looted
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)

“Only Good Agent Is A Dead One”: It’s Time for The Insurrection Act, Trump Prepares To Act
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.

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.

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.

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.

President Donald Trump recently conducted an interview with CBS News, and the White House is pushing for the interview to be aired in its entirety rather than the network include deceptive edits. Of course, the usual suspects on the Left are using this to claim that the White House is bullying poor journalists into submission. Take a look at some of their posts on X crying about the situation:…

Democrat Somali Declares Minnesota Neighborhood a ‘No-Go Zone’ for White Americans

…a series of posts on X showing Fateh standing in front of the Cedar Riverside towers alongside two other men. “Cedar Strong. White Supremacists aren’t welcome here. We protect our own,” the post read. When pressed by journalist David Marcus, who wrote that Americans do not allow “no-go zones,” Fateh doubled down, replying, “This is a No-Go zone for white supremacists.”…Don’t mistake this for a simple slip of the tongue. This wasn’t a gaffe; it was a confession from Minnesota State Senator Omar Fateh. He is openly promoting the creation of an autonomous enclave on American soil, a place where his political opponents are barred from entry and where a private force, not the police, keeps order.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Democrats will push to restore federal funding cut under the Department of Government Efficiency and potentially increase spending beyond prior levels, as lawmakers continue negotiations over the 2026 budget. Schumer made the comments Thursday when asked whether he would work to replenish funding for the Department of Housing and Urban Development during a forum hosted by the Center for American Progress… “If you look at the budget we’re working on right now, we’re restoring most of the cuts. 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.

Aside from the ethnic cleansing itself of a noble people, the most sadistic aspect of the all-out globalist siege of the Emerald Isle — catapulting wave after wave of weaponized migrants onto its shores — is that Ireland did not participate in any of the historical sins that allegedly justify the same punishment for other European nations.

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.

In fact, they will behave even more irrationally thinking that death and permanent injury is something that : 1) Cops and Feds will not do again because unicorn reasons and 2) That will never happen to them because they are righteous/pretty/woke/have septum ring/some other BS…And now there are those on their side who are actually demanding their side to start a shooting war. 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.

Portland Illegal the PPB Chief Wept Over Repeatedly Rammed Border Patrol Vehicle

An unsealed affidavit and criminal complaint concerning Luis Nino-Moncada, the Portland illegal alien who was shot on Thursday after ramming into a U.S. Border Patrol vehicle, further destroys the fake news and Oregon elected officials’ narrative of neighbors being targeted and a “married couple” wounded by “ICE” violence.

THIS IS WHO THEY RIOT FOR: Democrats Violently Protest and Attack ICE to Defend These Criminal Illegal Child Rapists, Murderers
https://gellerreport.com/2026/01/this-is-who-they-riot-for.html/
This is who well-paid Democrat mobs are violently defending—while they riot across American cities, attack ICE agents, and ram law enforcement. They are not standing for “compassion.” They are waging street-level enforcement for a political ideology that shields rapists and killers from deportation. This is not protest. This is organized lawlessness—using violence to protect the worst criminals in the country and daring anyone to stop them.

And the silence from those who claim to oppose “hate” is deafening. It’s the same house of worship that was bombed by the Ku Klux Klan in 1967.

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.”

A law subject to the “strict scrutiny” standard, which involves a fundamental constitutional right, might have a greater need to be perfectly tailored than a law that does not fall under the purview of a bedrock constitutional right.

The Washington Post reported on Wednesday that the FBI searched the home of one of its reporters, claiming the raid was part of an investigation into Aurelio Perez-Lugones. Perez-Lugones is a Maryland resident who was working as a systems engineer and information technology specialist for a government contracting company when federal authorities arrested him. He has maintained Top Secret security clearance since at least 2000, according to a January 9 affidavit. Federal prosecutors accused Perez-Lugones of printing screenshots of a Top Secret report, as well as writing classified information on a notepad and taking the sheets of paper home. When authorities searched his home last week, they allegedly found multiple documents that were marked as Secret, including a document found in his lunch box.

Trump’s Art of the Deal Was Always The Art of War
https://newsletter.amuseonx.com/p/trumps-art-of-the-deal-was-always
Why Trump’s Second Term Reads Like Sun Tzu in Action. Trump’s second term is not chaotic. It is adversarial. It is strategic. Confusion is cultivated because confusion fractures coalitions. Uncertainty is maintained because predictability benefits opponents. Pressure is applied with exits because domination without destruction is the goal. Sun Tzu is not a prophet of brutality. He is a theorist of economy, discipline, and foresight. Trump’s second-term statecraft aligns with that tradition. He governs as if politics is war by other means, and as if war should be won before it is fought.

Civil War

Chris and I have talked a bit about the possibility of Civil War. I’m not sure it will happen, mostly because I believe the vast majority of millennials are just too damn lazy to rise up, but also because I trust in Pres. Trump to keep things under control.

However…

I believe Tim Walz and others like him are actively attempting to start a Civil War. I don’t mean that figuratively. I don’t mean it as a metaphor. I believe he actually wants to whip up his constituents to a froth and send them out as cannon fodder against ICE, DHS, and other authorities.

Walz posted this on X on January 7th, after the Good shooting. A number of conservative friends said it was just Walz posturing, flapping his arms and making noise to stay relevant. I don’t think so. His words were exceptionally clear: “To Donald Trump and Kirsti Noem: You’ve done enough. We have soldiers in training, and prepared to be deployed, if necessary.

If he had ordered the National Guard to stand against ICE and/or DHS (and thank the gods he did not), he would have started a Civil War. Or tried to. He would have asked Minnesota NG to face off against a Federal authority, present and following the President’s lawful orders. Ordering local authorities to stand against Federal authorities is, essentially, the definition of Civil War.

I have no idea if Walz is intelligent enough to have figured out that what he’d said was almost but not quite a declaration of war against his own country’s government. Someone in his office must have, because after that tweet, he changed his tune and was overly clear about the NG being deployed ONLY to do traffic and local law enforcement.

I hope to hell that Trump or one of his advisors called up Walz’s office and had a little chat, explaining how bad that would be for everyone and for our country. I hope that Walz and his cronies got the message. I doubt they did, though. They knocked it down one notch, so they wouldn’t get impeached or arrested, but they’re continuing their ridiculous defense of rapists and murderers.

I don’t know how to deal with the people on the Left who are making noises like ICE is horrible. I have had a handful of people I’ve known long enough to consider them “not liars” even if I think they’re uneducated and not thinking right, who are telling tales about ICE. The stories go that ICE is picking up American citizens who have their papers on them, throwing them into dark, dank, moist detention centers with no toilets, no water, no food, and no access to lawyers or telephones. They’re kept there for hours upon hours (most of the stories talk about 8 to 16 hours, but less than 24, and they’re very specific about it being less than a day), have to beg passers by to let them out to pee, and are denied health care for injuries caused by ICE. They give names of ICE agents. They detail how they were sorted into “citizens and non-citizens” early on in the process, so ICE knew they were Americans. The stories go on and on.

When I go to research it, I can’t find any of the information. The names come back empty. There’s no other people making the claims, even though in the stories there are many people being detained. It’s relatively obvious to me that they’re JUST stories, and have no basis in the truth. But of course I can’t ask for proof, because that’s a hanging offense. Even when I say, hey I’d like to get the word out but you know I only pass on things I can verify (a longstanding moral on my part, I *will not* pass along stuff without bone fides included, and have not for many, many years)… crickets.

It’s exhausting. I’m mentally wrecked most of the time now. The left gets more and more frothy, and impossible to talk to or get information out of. They don’t seem to understand the basic “boy who cried wolf” issue that’s going on. Right now, I just assume anything from the left is wrong, either a lie, an exaggeration, or whatever. I have to, because I just don’t have time to investigate *everything* that’s thrown at me. I have a job, I run a household, I have relationships to tend to and children to watch after. So if something truly bad actually happens, I’m just going to ignore it, and assume it’s the same bullshit rhetoric they’ve thrown around every other time.

And just briefly before signing off, a few words on Iran.

In the 1979 timeframe (give or take a couple of years… I was just a kid who didn’t know shit about politics at the time and I’m going on memory here), I had a friend whose family was moving to Tehran. They had planned it for quite a while. And then the regime change happened, and suddenly their entire world fell apart. They didn’t go to Tehran, and I’m glad, because I firmly believe they’d be dead. I would have been 7 or 8 when it happened. The only reason I remember that, from my very privileged place in society, was because it interfered with a friend’s travel plans.

Iran went from being a fairly modern country to being a third world shit hole in very short order. Women were not allowed to work, first, and they had to cover their hair. Then they weren’t allowed to drive. Then they couldn’t be on public transit or out and about without an adult male family member. Then they had to keep their entire bodies covered with voluminous robes. Then the full burka, covering everything but the eyes. A few years ago the Iranian government decided eyes could be too alluring, and had blackout panels put into place in the burkas, so that you couldn’t even see a woman’s eyes. In 2021 or 2022, they decreed a woman shouldn’t speak in public.

Last night, I watched a live video feed out of Tehran, of women dancing in public, wearing nothing but miniskirts and white tee shirts that said “Fuck Khomeini” on the front in large, English letters. No shoes, no head coverings, no long arms, no tights or stockings. Bare skin, hair, eyes, and minds exposed to the evening air for the first time in almost 50 years. I saw a photograph of an Iranian woman lighting a cigarette from a burning Khomeini flag. I listened to hundreds of thousands of Iranians chanting “Iran! Iran! Iran!” I am witnessing history.

This is people from ALL walks of life, which is why it’s not slowing down despite Khomeini’s attempts to murder every protester. Cutting off the internet didn’t silence them. There are young people there, risking their lives to demand freedom from oppression, REAL oppression. They risk being shot, because the authorities there are using live ammunition to “put down” the protesters. Many are being arrested, and they’re starting to shoot and hang them. They’re going to their deaths with their hands held up in signs of victory, afraid but incredibly brave. There are youngsters who were born after Khomeini took over, and who’ve never known a day of freedom, never seen a free Iran. There are middle aged people who had their childhoods viciously and violently ripped away from them. There are old people, who remember the freedom of pre Khomeini Iran, when the Shah was trying to bring the country out of the dark ages and into the light. Those old people have whispered the stories to their children, and grandchildren, and great-grandchildren so that they didn’t die.

When Karen from Minnesota says she is oppressed because she can’t have an abortion or because we’re enforcing our immigration laws, I point her at the women of Iran. THAT is what oppression is, and THAT is how it’s fought. With dancing. With singing. With praise. With joy. Not with temper tantrums and lies.

Civil War 2.0 Mid-Month Update: Setting The Stage
https://wilderwealthywise.com/civil-war-2-0-mid-month-update-setting-the-stage/
Minnesota is the current flashpoint in our march towards Civil War. How does this finally spin out of control into a full-blown Civil War 2.0? One avenue is through collisions of authority. To be clear, Civil War 2.0 doesn’t have to start during Trump’s administration. It’s more likely to, though –
Keep in mind, that even if you are a middle-of-the-road “both sides suck” voter, you are a Nazi to them. They reveled in the assassination attempt on Donald Trump and were driven to ecstasy by the death of Charlie Kirk. – They want you dead,  and replaced by a more compliant populace.

Dystopian Science Fiction vs. the Anti-ICE Karens

“It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy.”
-George Orwell, 1984
The phenomenon of feral anti-ICE Karens currently running riot across the country is what happens when childless women — who don’t believe in God or anything else but are starved for meaning — decide, spurred by savior complexes instilled in them via culture, to adopt society as their children and turn an entire country into their infants to be protected from the bad men…The bad men who, in this context, per Social Justice™ dogma, are white men trying to fend off the Third World invaders lured into every Western country by the globalist power structure in order to undermine and rot them from within ahead of consolidation into a sprawling techno-dystopia free of the vestiges of national sovereignty.

Dear White Liberals: Blacks and Hispanics Want No Part of Your Anti-ICE Protests
https://redstate.com/jenniferoo/2026/01/11/dear-white-liberals-blacks-and-hispanics-want-no-part-of-your-anti-ice-protests-n2198018
At one of the anti-Trump/No Kings/50501/Indivisible rallies I covered last year, I overheard one white woman complain about the lack of young people and people of color coming out to protest the evil President (King) Donald Trump and his ICE enforcement to rein in illegal immigration. While I cannot speak for young people, as a person of color, I know for a fact that Blacks and Hispanics are pretty much over Affluent White Liberal Females (AWFL) and their self-centered campaigns against not only the duly elected president that many of us voted for, but against the rule of law.

Tim Walz is just one example of a political poison pill that likely participated in fraud and he’ll probably never face prison time for it. Look at all the leftist judges protecting the Somali fraudsters. Look at all the politicians in congress protecting them. And it’s not just Democrats, there are some Republicans and libertarian politicians who are constantly interfering with any meaningful response.

Chinese Regime Helps Dox ICE Officer Rammed by Renee Good
https://pjmedia.com/catherinesalgado/2026/01/11/chinese-media-helps-dox-ice-officer-rammed-by-renee-good-n4948146
The CCP state propaganda outlet Global Times is participating in the leftist effort to demonize and dox the officer. I did not link to the Global Times article so as not to participate in the doxxing — the article names the officer — but while the Chinese government outlet claims in the article that video of the event does not actually support the ICE account, it is noteworthy that the article does not include a video with it. The reality is that we have up close video of Good’s lesbian partner daring the officer to come at her as she acts aggressively toward him, and Good herself deliberately guns her car into the ICE officer as hard as possible at very close range, which could have killed him…a foreign government, the most hostile government to the United States, is fueling leftist hatred against the ICE officer and doxxing him. Put another way, the CCP is deliberately trying to help trigger a terrorist uprising in the United States. At this point, it would hardly be surprising to find out the Chinese entities are among those funding the paid protesters screaming about Good on many U.S. cities’ streets.

Socialist Mayor Ordering Liberals to Track ICE Agents Days After Deadly Attack
https://americanjournaldaily.com/seattle-mayor-ice/
Key Takeaways –
1) Seattle’s socialist mayor is telling citizens to use a Soros-funded app to track federal ICE agents.
2) The left’s dangerous rhetoric that demonizes law enforcement is directly inspiring violent attacks.
3) Radical Democrats are actively working to subvert federal law and dismantle immigration enforcement.
4) This is the blueprint for how Democrats plan to resist President Trump’s law-and-order agenda.

Obama judge disrupts Trump administration’s plans again: Talwani pauses efforts to end mass parole for 10,000+ migrants

U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani, the Massachusetts-based Obama judge who blocked the Trump administration from cutting federal funds to Planned Parenthood last month, issued a temporary restraining order on Saturday preventing the Department of Homeland Security from revoking the legal status of tens of thousands of foreigners.
The same Obama judge’s previous injunction in the case was thrown out by the Supreme Court in May.

Arrests, Prisoners, U.S. Warnings — What’s Really Happening on the Ground In Venezuela

The situation on the ground in Venezuela is a mixed bag right now, which is to be expected. One doesn’t just pluck the lead narco-terrorist from a “government” that’s basically organized crime and expect sunshine and roses within a week. It’s going to take time for Donald Trump and Marco Rubio and the United States team to pull all the weeds, and I have no doubt that, if anyone can do it, those two men can.
