Time to be ready. Time to be armed… There is a non-zero chance we will have to fight this battle in America. Some people will dismiss this warning as silly. Some people will dismiss this as paranoid. They will run when it happens. You need to decide in advance that you won’t. If it doesn’t come to fruition, that’s more than fine with us. We don’t want a fight, but, dammit, if those b******s start a fight in our home, we need to be ready to finish it.

What We Know About the African and Extremely Likely Jihadist Mass Shooter in Austin

Local FBI officials said they are investigating the shooting as a potential act of terrorism, given the way the shooting unfolded after the U.S. and Israel successfully wiped out the current leadership regime in Iran…“Diagne first entered the U.S in 2000 on a B-2 tourist visa and became a lawful permanent resident six years later after marrying a U.S. citizen, according to DHS. He became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2013, the department said. Diagne was originally from Senegal, according to multiple people briefed on the investigation who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the investigation.” (leakers should be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law – jlr

Iran Raises The Red Flag Of Revenge Over The Jamkaran Mosque As Shiite Muslims All Over The Globe Start To Commit Acts Of Terror –

Following the death of its Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran has raised the red flag of revenge above the Jamkaran Mosque in the city of Qom.
a red banner, which symbolises justice and revenge in Shiite tradition…for many Shiite Muslims, there is no limit as to what they would be willing to do to get revenge. They will never forgive, and they will never forget.

Grateful Kuwaiti Rushes to Help Downed US Pilot, While Leftist Woman Wishes Death to Military Service Members

They can be concerned about how much it’s going to cost us, as a country, to help the Iranians, and still be glad the Iranians are being given the chance to rule their own G-D selves…Someone made an offhand comment that I must be rooting for Fetterman to become a Republican, and I said no! I don’t want Fetterman to come over to the Right, because he’s not a Conservative. He’s a Liberal, a Democrat, and there’s nothing wrong with that. The fact that he’s a reasonable, responsible, thinking person is a GOOD thing. I want him to continue being a Liberal and a Democrat, and perhaps be a voice for change and reason. And they … thought about it.

Khomeini’s grandson: ‘The day the Islamic nation gets the chance, we’ll erase Israel’
https://gellerreport.com/2026/03/khomeinis-grandson-the-day-the-islamic-nation-gets-the-chance-well-erase-israel.html/
make no mistake: the Islamic nation worldwide will keep trying to destroy Israel, because it’s taught in the Qur’an that the Jews are the worst enemies of the Muslims (5:82) and that the Muslims must “drive them out from where they drove you out” (2:191). The Israelis really didn’t drive out the Arabs; the Arab Higher Committee told the Arabs to leave in 1948. But the last was once ruled by Islamic law and so according to that same law, it belongs to Islam forever.

THE B-52 SIGNAL: The U.S. Air Force just sent a message to the world—not through a press release, but through aircraft selection. The arrival of the B-52 Stratofortress over Iran marks a definitive shift in Operation Epic Fury. To understand the gravity, you have to understand the sequence of the last 96 hours.
Military strategists use specific tools for specific phases of a campaign. Here is the timeline of the “Big Wave”:
Feb 28 (The B-2 Spirit): Stealth is required. $2.1 billion per aircraft. You send the B-2 when air defenses are lethal and intact. They dropped 160,000 lbs of bunker-busters on hardened underground sites.
March 2 (The B-1 Lancer): Speed over stealth. You send the supersonic B-1 when defenses are degraded. These conducted the deepest raids since 2003.
March 3 (The B-52): The “Giant Barn.” It’s 70 years old, subsonic, and visible on every radar on Earth.
The takeaway? You only send the B-52 when there is nothing left to shoot it down.
By the Numbers: Quadrupling the Firepower
The transition to the B-52 isn’t just symbolic—it’s a massive escalation in payload:
Strike Capacity: The U.S. has 76 B-52s compared to just 20 B-2s. We just quadrupled our available heavy bomber strike capacity.
Payload: Each B-52 carries 70,000 lbs of ordnance per sortie.
Intensity: 1,700 targets struck, 300 new sites added. The campaign is intensifying, not tapering.

Deployment of America’s Oldest Bomber Means
https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/03/04/the-buff-in-iran-what-the-deployment-of-americas-oldest-bomber-means-n2199835
Now, we’re using the BUFFs. The B-52, wonderful though it is, is about as stealthy as a D-9 Caterpillar driving over a pile of wrecked cars. It’s slow. It has the radar cross-section of New Zealand and the infrared signature of an erupting volcano. Its use in and around Iran means one main thing: The Iranians have nothing left with which to shoot at them…but if you need a few dozen square miles of countryside destroyed and you need it destroyed right now, the BUFF can get that done…The BUFF can carry stand-off weapons, including cruise missiles, and I’ve heard rumors that they have been adapted to launch drones. But the main thing the BUFF has going for it is a big, big bombload. Each BUFF can carry 51 750-pound iron bombs. That’s a lot of BOOM for your buck. And now some Iranian goblins are finding out, like the Iraqi Republican Guard and the North Vietnamese Army before them, that Arc Light means never having to say you’re sorry.

The GOP Can’t Be Rid of Thom Tillis Quickly Enough
https://pjmedia.com/stephen-kruiser/2026/03/04/the-morning-briefing-the-gop-cant-be-rid-of-thom-tillis-quickly-enough-n4950204/
Republicans in North Carolina were voting for their candidate to run and replace the execrable Thom Tillis. As Chris said in response to the fact that Tillis isn’t running again, “WOOHOO!” Tillis is one of those backstabbing members of the GOP who have me convinced that the Democrats have Manchurian candidate plants in the party. He’s not reliable on most big votes. If he does end up not screwing over his own party, it’s only after a lot of grandstanding so that he can get some all-important facetime in front of the cameras. Yesterday, Tillis reminded us why it will be a boon when the party finally gets rid of him. This is from my good friend Matt Vespa over at Townhall: The hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee today became tense during Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s testimony. The most notable moment was Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) fiercely criticizing Ms. Noem over what he considers poor leadership at DHS, which is partly shut down due to Democratic Party tactics. He really did lose it on Secretary Noem; it was very AOC-esque in its shrill, emo ridiculousness. Tillis is an embarrassment through and through…My Democratic plant theory looks stronger all the time with this guy. Tillis has been a disappointment on my radar for a long time now. I was writing about him back in 2022 when he cosponsored an absolutely horrible amnesty bill with Kyrsten Sinema, my senator back then. So, yeah, he’s been a problem for a while.
Watch very carefully to see if you can spot the difference in how “Republican” Thom Tillis treats the DHS Secretary who allowed 15M unvetted illegal aliens in the U.S. versus the one who is trying to deport them

The result was emphatic. Roughly 95 percent of Republican primary voters supported the measure, signaling near-universal agreement among grassroots conservatives that American civil law must always be grounded in the U.S. and Texas Constitutions.

So Fast It Isn’t Even There
https://chrisbray.substack.com/p/so-fast-it-isnt-even-there
If you’ve been reading news for the last few years, you been reading that the U.S. Navy was on the verge of obsolescence, especially in a direct fight with the increasingly powerful Iranian naval forces. No, really. Iran had ultrafast supercavitating torpedoes from Russia, so the aircraft carrier had become a white elephant. If the Americans ever dared to attack Iran, the Iranians would just drop all the carriers like it was sinking three-foot putts. The shooting hasn’t stopped, so maybe we’ll still see the ugly spectacle of the Iranians sinking an American warship. There’s always room for a war to go sideways. But it doesn’t look like they have much left to shoot torpedoes from.

California’s Anti-Gun AG Wants to Dictate Law to Rest of Nation
https://bearingarms.com/tomknighton/2026/03/05/californias-anti-gun-ag-wants-to-dictate-law-to-rest-of-nation-n1231770
A lawsuit filed by Calif. Att. Gen. Rob Bonta and San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu is targeting the Gatalog Foundation Inc. and CTRLPEW LLC.California claims that Gatalog and CTRLPEW are providing prohibited persons with plans to make “ghost guns” (3D printed firearms without serial numbers). Matthew Larosiere, who is an attorney in Florida and is loosely connected to hobby gunsmiths via Gatalog, is one of the people California is suing. He explains in this video interview that what they call “Gatalog” is just hobbyists who found each other on the internet. They are not selling guns. They are talking about and toying with concepts for guns digitally. “If California can regulate access to the instructions,” said Larosiere. “Not just by California, but with this lawsuit, [then] what they’re saying is they want to regulate the entire internet worldwide. That would mean that you’d be cut off at the heels from making a gun at home. And I think most of us can agree that if you have a right to keep and bear something, it necessarily subsumes the right to acquire it.” When asked about Gatalog, Larosiere explained that it is not a group “like the NRA. There’s no member that has a card; there’s no board of directors; there’s no nothing. It’s kind of just a group of hobbyists associating around an idea. And the idea is home gunsmithing.” California has a long history of trying to dictate to the country what it should and shouldn’t do. They create standards that industries are obliged to follow, even if the rest of us want nothing to do with them, and we’ve accepted it because the companies are the ones making the decision to use those standards throughout the nation.

Hegseth Salutes Israel’s ‘Unmatched Skill and Iron Determination’
https://gellerreport.com/2026/03/watch-hegseth-salutes-israels-unmatched-skill-and-iron-determination.html/
The Pentagon recently named Israel a model ally. The Trump Administration understands the value of the extraordinary U.S-Israel alliance. Unfortunately, there are many despicable politicians in the United States (here, here, here) who seek to undermine the U.S-Israel alliance, so that they can obtain the pro-Jihad vote. All rational American voters should reject politicians who seek to harm the U.S-Israel alliance. Discarding an incredibly valuable ally to obtain the jihad vote is horrible for America.
“To our steadfast partner, Israel, your mission is being executed with unmatched skill and iron determination. Fighting shoulder to shoulder with such a capable ally is a true force multiplier and a breath of fresh air. We salute your courage and your contribution.”

Machine guns — defined by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives as a firearm that can fire “automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger” — are heavily regulated in the United States. While such weapons can be privately owned, Americans are greatly limited in what they can buy and must jump through numerous hoops to seal the deal. In West Virginia, Republican state Sens. Chris Rose and Zack Maynard recently introduced legislation that would establish within the West Virginia State Police an office of public defense that would oversee the procurement and sale of machine guns to “qualified members of the public,” namely any citizen presently eligible to purchase and possess firearms under West Virginia and federal law.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Alamo – Throwback post from the old blog.
https://thelawdogfiles.substack.com/p/the-alamo
2200 hours, D-1, one hundred and ninety years ago General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna ordered that the artillery barrage which had fallen upon the Alamo Mission near San Antonio de Bexar for twelve days be halted.
As he suspected, the exhausted defenders soon fell into a deep sleep, for most, the only sleep that they had managed during the course of the siege.
Just after 0000 hours, 06 MAR 1836, eighteen hundred Mexican infantry troops formed into four columns. 500 Mexican cavalry rode into position around the besieged mission, to prevent the escape of, well, anyone — be they Texan defenders, or Mexican troopies.
At about 0530 hours, the three Texan sentries posted outside of the walls were silently killed, followed by the music of the Mexican bugles sounding the charge. This woke the defenders, and for the next fifteen minutes it really sucked to be a Mexican soldier. The columns they were arranged in only allowed the front line of troops to fire safely. Those firing muskets from any position behind the front line, often as not fired through the front line of Mexican soldiers. Their own artillery behind them inflicted massive blue-on-blue casualties, while the defenders opened up with their own cannon — loaded with nails, chopped horse-shoes and even the hinges from the doors of the building.
Not to say that they were all ineffective. Colonel William B. Travis was killed during this time by a lucky shot to the head as he stood on top of the wall to get a better shot into the massed formation below him with his shotgun.
Pushed on by their reinforcing elements, the Mexicans mounted three different assaults, finally getting General Juan Amador over the wall, where he got a postern door open, which allowed the attackers to swarm the Mission.
One band of defenders — Davy Crockett for certain, and probably his frontiersmen volunteers — took up a position behind a low wall in front of the chapel, and made the Valkyries earn their overtime pay. When the Mexicans pressed too close to reload, the frontiersmen swung their rifles as clubs or switched to tomahawks and knives and exacted a terrible toll before being overrun.
An American slave named Ben, who was a cook for the Mexican army during the attack, states that Crockett went down swinging his rifle and was found surrounded by sixteen dead Mexican soldiers.
For the next hour or so, the Mexican army discovered exactly how bad Military Operations in Interior Urban Environments sucks, as they fought room-to-room in the Alamo. Just the attempt to replace the Texas flag on the roof of one building cost four Mexicans the ferryman’s fee, before the fifth finally managed to replace the flag of Texas with the flag of Mexico.
Room by room, in the dark and confusion, the Mexicans died, but replacements kept coming, sparing no defenders. Colonel Jim Bowie, too sick to rise from his bed, still managed to kill three or four Mexican troops with his pistols and famous knife, before being shot and bayoneted.
At about 0630 hours 06 MAR 1836, the last 11 defenders of the Alamo were killed manning the pair of 12-pounder cannon stationed in the chapel.
Surveying the scene after the bullets stopped banging and the bodies quit bouncing, General Santa Anna remarked, “It is but a small affair.” Hearing this, a staff officer stated, “Another victory like this, and we’ll go to the devil.”
When Jim Bowie’s mother was informed of his death, she very calmly announced: “I’ll wager no wounds were found in his back.”
Indeed.
189 defenders of the Alamo died this day 190 years ago. They took a full third of the attacking force with them.
When news of the Alamo got out, men flocked to the Texas army, and on the afternoon of 21 APR 1836, Texas remembered the Alamo, and took a full 18 minutes to toad-stomp the crap out of the Mexican army at the Battle of San Jacinto, taking General Santa Anna prisoner in the process.

We still remember the Alamo.

Move Over COVID: TDS is Here
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2026/03/move_over_covid_tds_is_here.html
Praise for Trump in Denmark will draw amazing criticism from the locals… their anger with Donald Trump was now palpable and has, in my opinion, reached the point where I can say with confidence that TDS has now officially become America’s greatest export — and we didn’t need an accident in a Chinese lab in Wuhan to make it happen…..TDS is the new COVID…..This pandemic of anger is not something that can be prevented by a vaccine nor can it be treated with any known drug, and it is spreading largely because of the growing number of people who are diametrically opposed to Donald Trump, the MAGA movement and the American brand of conservatism in general. These people have become so consumed by rage that they have allowed that rage and frustration to become the guiding measurement of everything that Donald Trump does or says.

…in the middle of a rally in Texas, President Donald Trump did what he does best…“And we have a senator who’s really an amazing guy, and I’m thinking of putting him in the Supreme Court. No no, I’m thinking, because it’s very hard, getting these nominations through is very tough. He’s the only guy I know who can get 100% of the Democrat vote, 100% of the Republican vote, they wanna get him out of there, he is such a pain in the ass but he’s so good and so talented, Ted Cruz,”…the corporate media stenographers immediately clutched their pearls, breathlessly reporting it as a ‘joke’—completely missing the 4D chess being played right in front of them. They heard a punchline; patriots heard a plan. Underneath the humor was a flash of strategic brilliance that could secure our constitutional republic for the next generation.

Fox News reveals GOP senators standing in way of talking filibuster to pass voter ID bill
https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/2030312009795879218
Fox drops list of GOP senators OPPOSED or SKEPTICAL of using a talking filibuster for pass the SAVE America Act. This would be the only plausible way to do it without 60 votes – John Cornyn – Lisa Murkowski – Katie Britt – John Curtis – Kevin Cramer – Thom Tillis – And Leader John Thune, who is primarily concerned about not having enough GOP senators to stand unified against a Dem amendment onslaught. GET IT DONE! This is EXISTING Senate rules. All we need is 50 or 51 senators, and we can defeat the Democrats.

Justice Samuel Alito wrote a concurring opinion to the unsigned emergency order, calling the original ruling unadorned racial discrimination.”…hints that the Supreme Court may be inclined to strike down part of the Voting Rights Act…would eliminate race-based districts and, with it, a significant number of Democratic seats in the House.

Anatomy of a Smear on Pro-Gun Candidate Brandon Herrera
https://bearingarms.com/tomknighton/2026/03/09/anatomy-of-a-smear-on-pro-gun-candidate-brandon-herrera-n1231802
Brandon Herrera became the Republican nominee for the 23rd District of Texas Congressional race. This was after it was learned that Rep. Tony Gonzales was a lot worse than just being anti-gun…the anti-gun world seems to jump at the chance to pick up where Gonzales left off…Gonzales’s attacks on Herrera centered largely around taking clips out of context and misrepresenting jokes as heartfelt positions…that’s part of a bit. Herrera is making fun of Nazis there. What’s more, if you dig a little deeper, you’ll find that he does things like this for whatever era and region a firearm is from. It’s funny they didn’t grab any of the clips of him dealing with guns from communist countries, isn’t it? I mean, they exist, including at least one where he’s dressed as Castro…Mr. Herrera uses satire in his videos about historical weapons. This is one example. You will see more by watching his videos. His grandmother lived her early childhood in Germany during WWII & handed down her knowledge of WWII Germany through stories she told him.

Then a can of beans or so can stretch that pot out…Once you’ve figured out that chili isn’t all that hard, start experimenting! Change out the ratios, use different peppers, try different meats, work with different chili powder blends, pour in a glug of beer instead of wine. Make it yours. Enjoy!

Canada is set to pass a grim milestone in its medically-assisted suicide program with a total of 100,000 citizens projected to be euthanized by the government before its 10th anniversary on June 17…The Canadian government is killing more people than victims of drug dealers. What I am afraid of is with this new acceptance of parents declaring their child in need of “gender affirming” via surgery and chemical infusions, how long will it take for a one of these Munchausen parents to say that the newly mutilated child feels better of not remaining alive because the sexual re-assignation did not solve the imaginary problem created by the parents.

Californians caught using ‘Montana Loophole’ to dodge supercar sales tax — and Beverly Hills is the worst
https://nypost.com/2026/03/08/us-news/californians-caught-using-montana-loophole-to-dodge-supercar-sales-tax-and-beverly-hills-is-the-worst/
California has launched a huge crackdown on criminals buying and registering supercars outside of the state to avoid eye-popping sales tax. (https://nypost.com/2026/02/25/us-news/californias-taxes-cost-of-living-crisis-crushes-six-figure-salaries/)…In the Golden State base rate sales tax is 7.25%. For a Lamborghini or Ferrari that can reach up to $250,000 or higher, that can mean a tax bill over $18,000. In Montana it is zero… accused of filing false records showing the supercars were bought in Montana but then drove and kept them in California…California AG Rob Bonta said: “When bad actors abuse legal loopholes and submit fraudulent documents to evade their obligations, the California Department of Justice will not stand idly by.“Every dollar of unpaid taxes is a dollar taken from California’s roads, schools and the vital services our communities rely on.”… asked if those with Montana plates had issues, the reply was: “Not yet.”

Democrats Can’t Win Elections without Fraud
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2026/03/democrats_can_t_win_elections_without_fraud.html
Every illegal vote cancels an American citizen’s vote. And the left loves it…Twelve states (California, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, and Vermont) plus Washington, D.C., essentially allow people to vote at the polls without documentation. In addition, Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming accept IDs without photos. Arizona and Montana provide alternatives to photo ID requirements. Voters in Hawaii, Oregon, Utah, and Washington primarily vote by mail. Most of the remaining states that require some kind of ID at the polls still provide other options, including the casting of provisional ballots, the attestation of a would-be voter’s eligibility by another registered voter with ID, and the signing of affidavits declaring one’s eligibility. In other words, most states run a Frankensteinian hodgepodge of the “honor system,” “pinky swears,” and “bro hugs.”

I Voted Today

There were local elections in New Hampshire today.

My town has an official population of around 5,500 residents. Of that 65 to 75% are registered to vote, or 3575-4125 people.

My vote today was 0.12% of the total number of votes.

There were a total of 821 people who voted today.

People, get out and vote. The number of people who make the effort is so small that your vote is huge.

As a side note, as I was watching the machine register my votes, the guy handing out the “I Voted” sticker said, “I don’t have to wait to give you a free “I Voted” sticker.”

“That isn’t free.”

“What? Huh?”

“Our ancestors paid for our freedom to vote with blood, sweat, and the lives of their loved ones.”

The ballot guy went silent, the poll watcher went silent, and the guy handing out stickers went silent. Then the guy handing out stickers said, “That was much better than what I was going to say.”

ABC Poll Stunner: Americans STILL Trust Trump More Than the Dems — and in Every Category, Too!

…In 2024, Donald Trump — the thrice-married, twice-impeached, self-aggrandizing billionaire — won a landslide electoral victory over his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump didn’t win because he’s perfect; yet again, perfect wasn’t on the menu. He won because he was the better option…the qualities that make him so appealing often come with a cost. He’s a man with rough edges…More than any politician in recent memory, polling almost always exaggerates Trump’s weakness and underplays his strength, leading to “surprised Pikachu” faces on Election Day. Part of the reason is the MAGAverse’s distrust of pollsters, but it runs deeper than that.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What do you think? Be the first to comment.

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

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

Trump Isn’t Starting a War, He’s Ending One
https://pjmedia.com/aj-christopher/2026/02/28/trump-isnt-starting-a-war-hes-ending-one-n4950061
Trump’s decision to strike Iran hasn’t started a “forever war.” He’s attempting to end one. Nothing good would have come had we retreated. The Iranian-led war of terror against the West would have resume, more confident and more brazen. The world would be a worse place, and a lot more innocent people would die. That’s not an opinion. That’s an indisputable fact.

Well – Sucks to be a mullah right now
https://thelawdogfiles.substack.com/p/well-713
The Iranian mullahs have used the natural resources of Iran to become the #1 sponsor of International terror since 1979…
∙Strategically: Long overdue, and necessary for world stabilization and American interests.
∙Politically: I’m sure the oppo party on Congress is tuning up their shrieking, but given that they shriek about literally every-bloody-thing — no matter how small or insignificant — that the current Oval Office occupant does … ok.
∙Legally: I don’t know — and neither does anyone with a fresh degree in Legal Studies or International Strategic Studies from Google U. I would surmise that a man with access to the finest legal minds in the country probably has pretty firmly crossed his ‘t’s and dotted his ‘i’s, but we won’t know for a bit.
∙Personally: Kill as many of the mullahs as you want. Matter of fact kill all of them. Send the souls of every mullah, basiji, and IRGC thug — from highest to the least — shrieking into the bottomless dark, and bury their bodies in the cesspits where they belong.

Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy, for instance, is already fantasizing about how they’re going to punish the heretics when Democrats get back into power: Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT – Paramount should enjoy its growing news monopoly while they have it because when Democrats win back power we are going to break up these anti-democrat information conglomerates.

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

Gun Owner Sues Police After Spending Almost 24 Hours in Jail for Legally Possessed Pistol

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

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

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

These Muslim terrorists accessed and exfiltrated highly sensitive data involving processor security and advanced cryptography — core technologies underpinning modern digital infrastructure. Some of the stolen files were transferred to entities linked to the Islamic Republic of Iran…The case reportedly came to light after Google’s internal security systems identified suspicious activity by Samaneh Ghandali in August 2023, leading to the revocation of her access to company resources. Prosecutors allege that instead of ceasing their activities, the three submitted false affidavits denying the sharing of confidential information while simultaneously deleting records from their devices.
(They LIED about STEALING CLASSIFIED SECRETS ????? oh no say it ain’t so….
Deception, Lying and Taqiyya – Does Islam permit Muslims to lie?
Muslim scholars teach that Muslims should generally be truthful to each other… unless the purpose of lying is to “smooth over differences” or “gain the upper hand over an enemy.” There are several forms of lying to non-believers that are permitted under certain circumstances, the best known being taqiyya (the Shia name). These circumstances are typically those that advance the cause of Islam, in some cases by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them. – https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/quran/taqiyya.aspx – jlr)

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

CALIFORNIA VOTER FRAUD: New Shirley Report Highlights Dogs Voting, Dead Voters, 125-Year-Old Registrations, 100+ Voters at One Home

Investigative journalist Nick Shirley has uncovered major irregularities in California’s voter rolls, including more than 100 people allegedly registered at a single residence, dozens registered to a mail store, voters listed as 125 years old, and even a case where dogs were reportedly registered and received ballots.

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

Maryland to ‘Reap the Consequences’ of Dem Governor Wes Moore’s Political Stunt
http://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/02/18/watch-maryland-to-reap-consequences-of-governors-political-stunt-n2199303
Just over one month into the 90-day legislative session, Gov. Wes Moore signed emergency legislation into law prohibiting local cooperation with ICE, outlawing 287(g) agreements in the state of Maryland…This stupid policy ensures that dangerous criminals who would otherwise have been detained and repatriated are instead still loose on the streets in Maryland, endangering the citizens, endangering local law enforcement, and endangering the federal agents who now have to go out and hunt them down, instead of having them quietly handed over at the local hoosegow

Republican Assemblyman Carl DeMaio says supporters are preparing to submit 1.35 million petition signatures to qualify a Voter ID constitutional amendment for the November ballot. The proposal is specific. It would require proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote for the first time, require a government-issued photo ID when casting a ballot, require mail ballots to include identifying information tied to a valid government-issued ID in addition to signature verification, and authorize formal audits of voter rolls.

The New York City municipality is evicting an Israeli drone business for “business considerations.” Needless to say, nobody is buying it. Easy Aerial, a drone manufacturer that works with the IDF, received notice that it will have to leave its New York offices at the Brooklyn Navy Yard municipal complex. They were given 60 days—insufficient time to relocate its 100 employees to another location in the city. The company’s chairman, Shahar Abuhatzira, thinks this isn’t a local decision—“100 percent from the top.”

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

Zohran Mamdani clearly stated who he was and what he wanted to do if elected mayor. Now he is doing it. The problem is that Mamdani, like a good socialist, no doubt read every book on socialism there is, and all of them said that taxing the rich would work. What they left out was the part about the rich being able to pack up and head to friendlier financial climates. What does he do then?…Let’s review: no snow removal, no trash pickup, defunding the police (let’s be honest, that’s what it is), taxing the rich, and when the rich leave, hiking property taxes.

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

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

Jihad Mamdani Appoints Terror Group CAIR Staffer as NYC Chief Immigration Officer

A Bomb A Day

Sweden is now averaging nearly one bombing a day in some months. More of the glorious rewards of Muslim immigration (al hijrah.)
Last year, the country recorded 189 explosive attacks in 2025 — a 39% increase from the year before and more than double the number seen seven years ago. In January 2025 alone, police documented roughly 30 explosions, amounting to nearly one blast every day.

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

When all the ‘release valves’ for a civil society have been welded shut, society stops being ‘civil.’
Europe’s “elites” have created the conditions for a bloody civil war — because entire civilizations will be warring against each other.

Susan Rice Threatens ‘Accountability Agenda’ and ‘Revenge’ Against Trump Supporters
https://istandforfreedom.com/susan-rice-revenge-supporters/
“If these corporations think that the Democrats when they come back in power are going to play by the old rules and say ‘Never mind, we’ll forgive you for all the people you fired, all the policies and principles you violated, all the laws you’ve skirted,’ I think they’ve got another thing coming… Democrats have had a bellyful, and we’re not going to play by the old set of rules.”*************Let that sink in. A former senior White House official openly promising an “accountability agenda” against corporations, law firms, and universities that “took a knee to Trump.” She’s not talking policy disagreements. She’s talking about punishing Americans for the unforgivable sin of supporting a democratically elected president.

Pete Hegseth Comes Under Fire for Meeting the Standards He Demands of Others. Yes, You Read That Right

…What particularly got their goat was Hegseth bench-pressing. What really got them was his pressing 315 pounds. It was nearly a metaphor for Hegseth’s career. He faltered. He almost failed to make it. But when it counted, he succeeded.
vide0 – 00:00:23 – https://twitter.com/i/status/2025400351520616890
The Daily Beast outdid itself in being the most shameful outlet. Hegseth had filmed himself lifting before the Fort Campbell event with his teenage son spotting for him. The headline of their story is Pentagon Pete Berates Son Gunner for Nearly Ruining Publicity Stunt.
The bottom line is that Hegseth is building a bond with the rank and file unlike any Secretary of War/Defense in our history. He’s showing them that he can walk the walk he’s imposing on them. He’s laying down a marker for their bosses, because if SecWar presses 315, you can bet there will be pressure on lots of colonels and generals to be seen lifting weights at the gym. The services are recovering the professionalism destroyed by Lloyd Austin, and the cultural rot is being excised. The competence of the military makes Hegseth immune from attacks in that quarter, so the left has to find something else. And this is the crap they come up with: lying and mocking Heseth for lifting weights with the troops, when most of the critics would be hard-pressed to do a single rep of push-away-from-the-table, much less lift the plates. They do it because it is all they have left.

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

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

………….I don’t think we can keep the republic Franklin talked about from where we are. Adams knew the reason: paper and ink don’t enforce morality. People do. Or they don’t. And when they don’t, the government is happy to step in with a smile and a 10,000-page regulation. The norms are gone. The absurdity remains. And the bill? It’s due, with interest.

Major Trump Win: Mandatory Detention, No-Bond For Illegals
https://gellerreport.com/2026/02/supreme-court-rules-for-trump-unleashes-wartime-deportation-power-illegals-now-face-mandatory-detention-with-no-bail.html/
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit issued a landmark ruling affirming the federal government’s authority to detain certain noncitizens without bond while removal proceedings are pending. The decision represents a major legal victory for the administration’s immigration enforcement and detention framework.

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

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

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

( The deprogramming of Americans, in specific, and the world at large, has to start with the “upper middle management” of the eleits who want one world government, the College professors. Why there? Because brfore 1861 the US had NO doctorial award process. If you wanted a doctorate you had to go to Europe, specifically Germany to get one.(https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/dv4ppq/when_was_the_first_phd_awarded_and_what_led_to/). in the 1840s and 50s Marx and Engles were holding court in the German salons, which is where students spent their free time; and were inculcated with comminist thinking. The new PHDs brought those ideas back to the UISA and started teaching them to their students – who became the teachers of following generations. leading to where we are today with Universities and colleges as bastions of far left/ socialist/communist teachings in the “soft” subjects. once you clear far left/ socialist/communist teaching from the colleges things will change – jlr)

What Virginia’s Anti-Gun Jihad Really Means
https://bearingarms.com/tomknighton/2026/02/07/what-virginias-anti-gun-jihad-really-means-n1231478
What’s going on in Virginia is what happens when Democrats are confident that they have achieved permanent power…Anti-gun Democrats are so convinced that they hold all the power now that they’ve started unraveling anything that might give the illusion that Republicans even exist in the state. Yes, part of that is the gun control. That’s high up on the agenda for any anti-gun Democratic majority, and it’ll absolutely happen the next time they get enough authority at the federal level. While Republicans aren’t exactly tripping over themselves to engage in bipartisanship, the reality is that anti-gun Democrats routinely walk in and start legislating away people’s gun rights, absolutely sure that they’ll hold a permanent majority.

Fifth Circuit Judge Casts Doubt on Federal Laws Dealing With Possession of Firearms
https://bearingarms.com/camedwards/2026/02/02/fifth-circuit-judge-casts-doubt-on-federal-laws-dealing-with-possession-of-firearms-n1231418
There is nothing in the Constitution that explicitly allows Congress to write laws criminalizing gun possession, but there is language stating that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed (presumably, by any branch of the federal government). Willett’s faithfulness to federalism is something to be admired, and if there is an opening on the Supreme Court before the end of Donald Trump’s second term, the 59-year-old judge would be my first pick to fill the vacancy.

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

The new activism looks a lot like mental illness

Let’s start calling it what it is: oppositional behavior, mass hysteria, and celebrity-fed grievance acting out in the streets…Clinical language can clarify motives, but it should not excuse crimes…Trump derangement syndrome…Celebrity worship syndrome…Mad hatters – Some participants display the impulsivity, defiance, and hostility toward authority that clinicians associate with oppositional-defiant disorder or conduct disorder. In its more destructive form, the behavior resembles conduct-disorder traits: aggression, property destruction, and contempt for basic social rules….Lost souls…Regressed rioters…Mr. and Mrs. Personality – Certain personality disorders show up frequently in chaotic movements: paranoia, grandiosity, emotional volatility, hostility, and disregard for others’ rights…Substance abusers – Alcohol and drugs lower inhibition and increase risk-taking.

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

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

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

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

Red States Booming as Americans Flee High-Tax Democrat Strongholds
https://amac.us/newsline/economy/red-states-booming-as-americans-flee-high-tax-democrat-strongholds
In what is sure to be one of the biggest real estate deals of the year, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is reportedly relocating to Florida, becoming just the latest California billionaire to flee the Golden State for the Sunshine State following a proposed five-percent wealth tax. But the uber-rich aren’t the only ones relocating for more favorable conservative policies – millions of everyday people are as well.
(The PROBLEM with liberals moving to conservative states is that they bring their liberal values and wants with them, rather than leaving them where they came from. They sell the home that they bought 30 years ago for $50K for $3.5M move to a conservative area, find out undeveloped land is CHEAP and taxes are LOW, buy acreage outside of cities or towns, on on a dirt road, only to find out undevloped mean exactly that – no water, no electric, no hard line phone and maybe no cell connection either, no cable TV, road not paved, no munipal trash pickup, long response times for emergency services, farm animals, few fences, and wild animals. They then go to the town/county government to get these grievances fixed, and are told NO. So they then become politically active and get elected to the city/county government, and then start implementing the fixes they want. Only to find out that they have to raise TAXES to fund the projects. Thus, pissing off families who have lived here for generations. And they can not understand why – jlr)

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

And the latest victim of ICE is.. (drum roll)
https://miguelgg.substack.com/p/and-the-latest-victim-of-ice-is-drum
Seamus Culleton, the Irishman living in the United States who is being detained by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) service, entered the US in 2009 as a tourist, according to a court ruling in Texas, where he is being held…So he understood clearly he was in the country illegally but never gave a shit till the laws started to be enforced. And that makes it sound like this was a marriage of legal convenience seeking to circumvent legal consequences, which may also affect his wife as being complicit in the immigration fraud. Amazing, funny stuff when the sob stories ran head-on against the crap the sob-ees themselves created.

FAA mysteriously closes airspace over major US city for 10 days over ‘special security’ concerns

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) Wednesday morning entirely closing the airspace over the Western Texas city of El Paso for the next ten days, citing “special security reasons,” while classifying a large area over both El Paso and the neighboring community of Santa Teresa, New Mexico as “national defense airspace” under the control of the Defense Department. All flights in and out of El Paso International Airport and nearby regional airports have been canceled or grounded, with even medical evacuation flights being restricted, as local authorities and military officials state that they have received no information regarding the NOTAM. Such an airspace closure over a major city in the United States is unprecedented, with the last time such a restriction like this was issued occurring after September 11, 2001.

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

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

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

In Lee County, Georgia, farmer Alex Harrell recently told AgWeb he is planning to cut production of his 6,000 acres by almost half. Despite record yields, he says many growers are now “paying to farm.”…In Arkansas, farmers profiled in a documentary by A More Perfect Union described how they operate at losses of $150 to $350 per acre while they watch emergency aid funds flow straight through them and on to big corporate seed, fertilizer, machinery, and grain giants…in England, fourth-generation Nottinghamshire farmer Oliver Collingham told the BBC last month that the per ton price he is being offered for wheat is below his cost of production. Although this is happening in two different countries, under two different policy regimes, with different weather patterns and different currencies, the pattern is the same.Yikes: Jennifer Newsom Goes Full Angry AWFL on Female Reporters; Even Gavin Seemed Embarrassed

The 119-article Criminal Procedure Code, signed by Taliban supreme leader Haibatullah Akhundzada on January 7, 2026, formally divides Afghan society into “free persons and slaves,” marking the return of a status absolutely prohibited under international law. “The Taliban has now approved the return of slavery in Afghanistan,”…Beyond legalizing violence against women, the code transforms Afghanistan into a surveillance state where dissent itself is criminal. Insulting Taliban leaders carries 20 lashes and six months’ imprisonment. Criticizing any policy the supreme leader endorses, including the ban on women’s education, is a punishable offense. Citizens are granted the legal right to personally punish anyone they witness committing what they deem a “sin,” effectively deputizing the population as moral enforcers (New York Sun).

Foreign-Born Member Of Congress Threatens Republicans With Prison When Democrats Regain Power
https://gellerreport.com/2026/02/foreign-born-member-of-congress-threatens-republicans-with-prison-when-democrats-regain-power.html/
This is how banana republics operate and Democrats are furiously accelerating the slide. They protect violent illegals, murderers, rapists etc but doggedly prosecute the political opposition…Foreign-born Rep. Shri Thanedar openly threatened to prosecute his political enemies this week — a reminder of what Democrats plan to do if they get power back. During a committee hearing Tuesday, Thanedar — struggling to speak English — threatened to prosecute Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott when President Donald Trump is out of office. “You better hope you get pardoned because you will be held accountable for the absolute disregard of the law your agencies have shown over the past year,” Thanedar threatened. “Your agencies have lost the trust of the American people, with millions taking to the streets to protect the illegal actions of your agencies. And that’s why I introduce a bill in the United States Congress to abolish ICE. ICE must be abolished,”
Not just the foreign born: HAKEEM JEFFRIES ISSUED A WARNING: ,“If Democrats retake power, we’re coming after everyone who doesn’t have immunity.” He added that they will hold everyone in the Trump administration accountable. The Democrats will also hold Trump Supporters accountable if they committed any crimes. Republicans either win now, or face imprisonment later. That’s the choice.

BREAKING: Tom Homan Announces End to Major ICE Surge in Minnesota
https://www.westernjournal.com/breaking-tom-homan-announces-end-major-ice-surge-minnesota/
“During this surge operation, ICE has not arrested anybody inside a hospital,” he said. “We have not arrested anybody inside of an elementary school. We have not arrested anybody inside a church.”…“However, those locations are not off the table.”…”It shouldn’t be a partisan issue that you arrest public safety threats in the safety and security of a jail. Releasing public safety threats back into the public is just stupid… I hope Congress takes action on sanctuary cities and sanctuary states.”

Lawsuit targets FBI, ICE for cartel-linked raid because people were detained with no food for FOUR hours

The media is under fire for portraying a raid on a cartel-linked illegal gambling ring in Idaho as a raid on some innocent family event. Speaking with CBS News, Canyon County Sheriff Kieran Donahue made it clear that the raid last October was part of a four-year-long FBI investigation into cartel activity. “We knew there was cartel involvement in this operation,” he said. “We knew that to be true. [It’s] why we went in.” But that didn’t stop the network from portraying the raid as a “militarized raid on a community horse-racing event”…The media is under fire for portraying a raid on a cartel-linked illegal gambling ring in Idaho as a raid on some innocent family event. The media also complained about attendees, both legal and illegal, being forced to stand around for a couple of hours as the raid was conducted…The latter complaint made it into a lawsuit filed by three Idaho families of citizens and permanent residents. “The families say state and federal law enforcement agencies conspired to use unconstitutional tactics during the raid, including detaining people because they appeared to be Latino; keeping adults and some children in zip ties for hours without access to food, water, or bathrooms; and searching individuals without reasonable suspicion of a crime,”

From David Linthicum’s column in InfoWorld…The era of true ownership is ending as cloud services and AI are transforming the PC. What does this mean for user control? – – Last month, I met with a mid-sized law firm facing a common dilemma. Their Windows 10 laptops were nearing the end of support and needed to be replaced. Typically, this meant buying new hardware and software—predictable and straightforward. But this time, Microsoft suggested a different approach: move to Windows 365 Cloud PCs, a PC that operates with a monthly subscription and is accessible from any device, scalable, secure, and AI-enhanced. The catch? The shift from ownership to a subscription model and reduced local control led their IT team to question how “personal” these computers truly were…Full article, HERE from InfoWorld – https://www.infoworld.com/article/4128164/windows-pcs-fade-away.html

Lynchburg, VA Renews Second Amendment Sanctuary Status
https://bearingarms.com/tomknighton/2026/02/11/lynchburg-va-renews-second-amendment-sanctuary-status-n1231520
Originally passed in response to potential federal gun control, Lynchburg was one of many communities throughout the nation that stated its desire to refuse to enforce any unconstitutional gun control laws…Ironically, it was modeled after immigration sanctuary communities that had long been permitted to ignore federal immigration law. The difference here is that the Second Amendment protects gun rights, while the Constitution also gives the federal government authority over immigration. In other words, immigration sanctuaries are unconstitutional, just like gun control.

A power-mad Westchester County judge got her Democratic buddy out of trouble and tore into a prosecutor for not following orders in one race-based meltdown, a new misconduct report said. Mount Vernon city Judge Nichelle Johnson was formally censured by a state judicial board for a pattern of bizarre behavior and blatant abuse of her authority that included calling a defendant from the bench to shake her down to pay a settlement and routinely helping friends out of tickets. In one unhinged incident, Johnson — who is black — tore into an assistant district attorney for brushing off her demands in a tirade, apparently accusing the lawyer of not listening to her because of her race.

Federal law bans creation of a gun registry, but regulators made one anyway.
The only saving grace is that if the federal government ever flips the switch on that gun database, it’s going to be a mess. Records that are 10, 20, or 30 years out of date will have been superseded by the passage of time. Gun owners will have moved, divorced and divided their property, died and left their possessions to their heirs, lost guns, or transferred them in private transactions. Or they’ll just claim that their guns are long gone in tragic boating accidents.

The governor characterized federal agents as “untrained” and “aggressive,” claiming they left behind “deep damage” and “generational trauma.” He’s now proposing a $10 million relief package for businesses and lobbying the federal delegation to foot the bill for Minnesota’s recovery. Here’s what Walz conveniently omits: those federal agents came to Minnesota because state leadership refused to address the problem themselves. Sanctuary policies rolled out the welcome mat, and local officials looked the other way. And when the Trump administration finally stepped in to enforce laws that Minnesota wouldn’t, suddenly it’s the feds who “broke” things…? Really?

Susan Collins (R-Maine) announced that she will support the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or SAVE America Act, that requires individuals to provide documentary proof of United States citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections, as well as provide provide an approved ID when casting a ballot. The SAVE America Act is wildly popular with voters. According to the Pew Research Center, 83% of Americans approve of requiring a government-issued photo ID to vote, while only 16% oppose the idea. That includes 95% of Republicans who agree that it should be a requirement, and 71% of Democrats…Many say that Collins, who is up for reelection this year, changed her mind due to grassroots efforts from voters throughout the country.

Remember back in 2015 when your bourbon-chugging, conspiracy theorist “Uncle Kevin” stunned the family at Christmas dinner by stating, “A bunch of rich pedos are trying to form a one-world government. They’ll take away your steaks, cars, and dogs and blame it on ‘climate change.’ They’ll tell you men are women, and label you a ‘bigot’ if you refuse to let them control your mind. They’ll fill your kids full of SSRIs and tell them to cut off their genitals, and they’ll take your children away if you don’t play along. They’ll replace cash with digital currency and freeze your funds if they don’t like your latest tweet. And if you don’t stop saying things these lizard people don’t condone, they will arrest you. While all of this is happening, the New World Order will flood the West with third-world Muslim savages who will rape and murder with near impunity. They will live off of your tax dollars while replacing you by simple demographics. Once they outnumber us, We the People will be hunted into genocide. They want this done by 2030. Don’t give up your guns, and please pass the ambrosia.” Uncle Kevin was right, again. (read the list – jlr) Sure, Uncle Kevin was right about MK Ultra, the Tuskegee experiments, and probably the Kennedy brothers’ assassinations, but those “conspiracy theories” are from a different era. I am talking about the “wacko” stuff Uncle Kevin has been talking about lately.

Big Hat, No Cattle: 5 Indicted in $220 Million Nationwide Cattle Fraud Scheme

Five individuals were federally indicted this week for their roles in an alleged $220 million nationwide fraud scheme involving purported cattle purchase contracts…As alleged in the indictment, each of the defendants was associated with Agridime LLC, a business headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, that offered cattle sales and meat processing and retail services to the public…“The defendants allegedly used false promises to lure prospective clients into their scheme and then misappropriated client funds to enrich themselves…The indictment alleges that, from January 2021 through December 2023, the five defendants, acting through Agridime, perpetrated a fraud scheme in which they falsely represented to individual cattle purchasers, cattle ranchers, and feedlots that Agridime would use their funds to purchase specific individual cattle for each victim, raise the cattle, and eventually sell the meat from the same specific individual cattle for a profit. In reality, as the indictment charges, the defendants did not use victim funds as promised and instead used newer cattle purchaser funds to pay Agridime operating expenses, pay funds owed by Agridime to earlier cattle purchasers, pay personal expenses, and purchase real property. (Looks to me like a 21st century version of cattle russeling, w/o useing physical cattle – jlr)

Democrat Officials Discard Americans as Collateral Damage
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2026/02/democrat_officials_discard_americans_as_collateral_damage.html
When aiding and abetting crime is official Democrat Party policy, elections get stolen. Vulnerable Americans are robbed, victimized, and murdered. Entire condominium complexes are handed over to drug dealers and international gangs. Americans are discarded as insignificant “collateral damage.” When the most Democrat-voting county in America treats fellow Democrats as worthless trash, there’s no limit to how much harm Democrats are willing to inflict upon citizens across the United States. The upcoming midterm elections later this year matter. Why?
Because American lives are at stake. IF Democrats see the lives of fellow Democrats as expendable. They certainly don’t care about yours.

“Billion Dollar Movie In One Prompt”: AI Disruption Crosshairs Hone In On Hollywood Studios
AI-driven equity disruption was everywhere this past week, spreading like wildfire beyond software into insurance, commercial real estate, financials, shipping, wealth management, and likely many more industries in the coming trading sessions. One industry in the crosshairs of AI disruption is Hollywood. Some of the publicly traded studios include The Walt Disney Company, Warner Bros. Discovery, Paramount Global, Sony Group Corporation, Netflix, Lionsgate, and others. On Friday, Axios reported that the Walt Disney Company sent a cease-and-desist letter to ByteDance, alleging that the Chinese tech firm has been infringing on its films to develop Seedance 2.0 without compensation.
Hollywood is living on borrowed time. The next big AI disruption trade could be studios.

Nothing in Common.
https://miguelgg.substack.com/p/nothing-in-common
When this movie came out, I made a beeline for the theater. We are talking two comedic geniuses … OK, one Tom Hanks that was emerging and have already given us great stuff like Bachelor Party and The Money Pit and in the other hand the amazing Jackie Gleason who needed no introduction. I was expecting non-stop laughs from beginning to end and I got some great initial chuckles, and then real acting began. I knew Gleason had the chops for serious stuff but I was amazed by Tom Hanks’s doing a serious role of a clown having to mature in a matter of very few months. At the tender age of 25 and recently married, it struck me hard because I came to realize one day I would have to take care of my parents since I was an only child and still maintain my obligations to my marriage. If anything else, it prepared me to accept what was to come.

Portland Anti-ICE Activist Illustrates a Fantastic Way to Get Shot
https://bearingarms.com/tomknighton/2026/02/14/portland-anti-ice-activist-illustrates-a-fantastic-way-to-get-shot-n1231551
When a gun is pointed at you, you aren’t going to take the time to measure the barrel diameter to see if it’s a real gun or not. Especially with something like an airsoft gun, which has an 8mm barrel. Unless you can tell a millimeter difference at a glance, you’re going to take it as a real gun. Which means anyone pointing it at you, without you knowing it’s an airsoft gun due to context–you’re at a MilSim event where airsoft guns are used, for example–you’re going to take it seriously and act accordingly. So, when an Anti-ICE whackjob in Portland decided to use one in a drive-by, she put herself in a potentially dangerous situation.

Less Lethal does not mean without consequences.
https://miguelgg.substack.com/p/less-lethal-does-not-mean-without
Somehow, somewhere back in the minds of academics and idiots (but I repeat myself), the narrative about Less Lethal weapons became one of gentle prodding and soothing effects that would magically reduce the misbehavior of law-breaking people. Less Lethal simply means the probability of death is greatly decreased, but pain is going to be still a deciding factor on how your bad behavior will be modified. When verbal warnings and commands do not work, law enforcement will escalate, usually first with Empty-Hand techniques; the problem is that the deranged idiots chasing after ICE take being pushed away as a violation of their Rights (“YOU CAN’T TOUCH ME!”) and feel the need to escalate their misbehavior and do so in mobbing groups. After that, yes, the application of irritants, pain-inducing munitions, and flash-bang grenades comes into play.

In Todd’s view, the collective West is collapsing, compared to “stable” powers like Russia and China. The West’s decline isn’t from bad luck or Russian super-spies, nope. It comes from the rotting foundations of the West itself…Todd’s book substantiates the politically incorrect that I’ve been championing forever: nationalism trumps globalism. The West is exhausted, defeated not by conquest but by its own nihilism leading to that most Evil philosophy of all: “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.”

NYC: Palestinian [Muslim] Activist Calls for Dogs To be Banned as Pets in NYC Because They’re UN-ISLAMIC, Hails Removal of Dogs From Grocery Stores— ‘Finally, NYC Is Coming to Islam’

Muslims are the only immigrant group who come to the West with a ready made model of society they believe to be superior to Western law and they work furiously, by all means, to impose it. Under Islam, shariah (Islamic) law supersedes Western law. Anywhere Western law and Shariah law conflict, it is always Western law that must give way. What those of us working in defense of freedom did not expect, was the craven capitulation and cowardice by Western left elites to Islamic supremacy.

The relentless but stealthy Islamic jihad against America has been going on for decades, but now it is no longer stealthy. Today everything is out in the open. Construction of enormous Islamic centers across our country continues apace. Claims of ecumenism and brotherhood accompany this expansion as a means of dulling our perception of the determined Islamic supremacy that underpins every move. This has always been Islam’s modus operandi in the western countries it has infiltrated and seeks to conquer from within.

State Sponsor of Terror Qatar Tops US University Foreign Funding in 2025 — Over $1.1 BILLION
https://gellerreport.com/2026/02/state-sponsor-of-terror-qatar-tops-us-university-foreign-funding-in-2025-over-1-1-billion.html/
In 2025, Qatar was the single largest foreign source of gifts and contracts to American universities, pouring more than $1.1 billion into U.S. higher education, according to the U.S. Department of Education. That figure comes from mandatory foreign funding disclosures filed by colleges receiving federal aid — institutions required to report any foreign gifts or contracts of $250,000 or more. There is “outright censorship” that comes with the money. The scale is staggering: more than 8,300 foreign transactions totaling $5.2 billion in a single year. This isn’t charity. It’s influence. And it’s flowing directly into the institutions shaping the next generation of American leaders.

At Toronto Pearson International Airport, there is a man who works as a Station Attendant named Sammy Allouba. According to Rebel News, which exposed this travesty in a Monday exposé, Allouba “unloads baggage from inbound and outbound aircraft. As well, he performs general aircraft maintenance.” That’s a position in which a person of ill will could do a great deal of damage if he wished to do so, and Sammy Allouba is nothing if not a person of ill will: he “goes out of his way to convey hatred against Jews, Israelis, Iranians, and anti-Hamas Palestinians. All the while he glorifies the terrorists who tend to massacre such people.”

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.
It’s a timeless quote, and for good reason: if you fall for the same scam twice, the second time is on you. Obviously, I wasn’t fooled by Joe Biden and his claims to be moderate as he ran for the presidency in 2020, but even so, I admit to being taken aback by just how hard the left turn he took upon taking office turned out to be. Many voters were fooled, of course, and we’re still paying the price for that today…If anything, the Democrats have become even more extreme since those sad old days, and have waged a disgusting propaganda war against our federal law enforcement agencies while promoting political violence at every opportunity. All of a sudden, however, they smell the midterms – and they’re pivoting like Olympic figure skaters attempting quadruple lutzes. It started slowly back in March of 2025, when extremist California Gov. Gavin Newsom admitted on a podcast that allowing males to compete against girls and women in competitive sports was “deeply unfair.” It was an obvious play to the average American voter, who values sensibility — but the elaborately coiffed guv has done nothing since to stop the practice, and in fact, a boy just cleaned up in track and field at the California Winter Championships
That will become a theme of this article.

I’ve said this repeatedly. I don’t know why it’s so hard for some to comprehend it, so let me repeat it again. A visa. No one is entitled to a visa. There is no constitutional right to a visa. A visa is a permission to enter our country as a visitor. If you enter our country as a visitor and as a visitor in our country, be it a student, a tourist, a journalist, whatever you want to be, and you undertake activities that are against the national interest, the national security of the United States, we will take away your visa.

Thanks to gross mismanagement by Maryland’s Democrat leaders, hundreds of millions of gallons of raw sewage has reportedly been dumped into the Potomac River—flowing straight through our nation’s capital and endangering millions of people, wildlife, and the entire DC region’s water supply.

https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/02/16/gasoline-starved-california-now-turns-to-distant-bahamian-supplies-n2199219
Gas prices are the highest in the nation thanks to Democrats in general and the impeccably coiffed Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom in particular. For years now, they have tried to drive energy producers out of the state, and now they have succeeded. Refineries are shutting down. Entire companies are up and leaving…California has been forced to get gasoline from the Bahamas. Yes, that’s right: Newsom’s California is buying gasoline to be shipped through a Caribbean country, and having it sent, by tanker, through the Panama Canal and hence to California.

Trans Shooters: The Patterns Are Well Established
https://pjmedia.com/eric-florack/2026/02/17/trans-shooters-the-patterns-are-well-established-n4949591
The lesson that comes from encouraging mentally ill people to indulge their insanity and to express violent hatred against those who do not affirm their illness is written in the blood of children killed at the high school hockey game…there’s the case of Robinson himself, who was romantically involved with Lance Twiggs, himself another victim of transgenderism, and who, according to contacts within his family, “hates conservatives and Christians,” and who, according to other sources, influenced Robinson’s politics in the year they had been dating… “This shooting comes a few days after a mass shooting committed by a transgender-identifying young man in Canada, who murdered his mother and 11-year-old brother.”…Bondi Beach, in Australia, which not only matches the pattern under discussion but also points out the fantasy that banning guns will prevent such attacks…”How many transgender shooters does it take to stop leftists from lauding the delusion that one can change one’s biological sex and demand everyone agree?” I would only add it’s time to treat the mental illness like we used to and not play into and reinforce the delusions. We’re costing lives playing this game. It needs to stop. And perhaps we should be looking at treating transgenderism itself as a mental illness, again. The indicators are clearly there.

Pelosi Appears To Have Picked Their Candidate For President In 2028

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) may be retiring from Congress at the end of this term, but she’s not done trying to shape presidential races. The 85-year-old former House speaker has turned into what one former aide calls “a Gavin fan-girl,” deploying her legendary donor network and political capital to boost California Gov. Gavin Newsom as a 2028 White House contender. The move lands as a calculated slight to Kamala Harris, who polls ahead of Newsom nationally but appears to have lost Pelosi’s confidence after the 2024 debacle.

A pro-Hamas activist who made her name during the Israel-Hamas war has caused quite a stir with her call to ban dogs in NYC…If that sounds absurd on its face, you haven’t been paying attention to what has been going on in Western cities where Muslims have become a significant fraction of the population…we can’t assume that Mamdani is going to ban dogs in New York City just because one of his most prominent supporters is pushing for it, but then again, if you think the idea is absurd, you should know that this idea has gained a lot of traction in the UK…There are now parts of UK cities that are essentially Muslim enclaves, and they are actively pushing to make them no-go zones for dogs, and promising that as their influence grows, their power to expand the dog-free zones will grow along with it.

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

Take, for instance, the hate spilled by Variety, the outlet that’s considered by some be the entertainment industry’s bible. “It should have been called ‘Day of the Living Tradwife,'” Melania came out of Slovenia as a teenage fashion model, but she was always less Brooke Shields than Nico, and now, at 55, in her Terminator sunglasses and thick mascara eyelashes and omnipresent four-inch pumps (she wears them in every scene, even when she’s just relaxing on the couch), she still has that frozen-for-the-camera hauteur, as well as the thick accent that blankets everything she says, giving it all the same emotional neutrality. “Can we do the lapel a little bit beeger?” she asks her designer, Hervé Pierre, and he, like everyone else in the room, reacts with a grin of jovial agreement, as if Marie Antoinette had just asked for a piece of cake…Remember, these are the types that contend that every illegal alien is a saint, yet here they are demeaning a successful legal immigrant woman who speaks five languages. Wouldn’t this be a 10 on the scale of discriminatory rhetoric?

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.

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?

The secret Chinese lab apparently was not one of a kind.

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.

Virginia Democrats Are Cooking Up a Chilling ‘Islamophobia’ Bill That Should Alarm Everyone
https://redstate.com/terichristoph/2026/02/06/virginia-democrats-are-toying-with-an-absolutely-chilling-islamophobia-bill-n2198902
SB624, which was introduced in January by State Senator Saddam Azlan Salim – a Democrat from Northern Virginia’s 37th district – seeks to to “define and punish” cases of “Islamophobia” as it “relates to the crime of assault and battery as malicious prejudice or hatred directed toward Islam or Muslims.” Here’s the full text of the bill, which has 14 Democrat co-sponsors and no Republicans signing on to it.

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…………..

he narrative presented in The Wall Street Journal was notably disorderly: a classified whistleblower complaint was lodged against the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. It allegedly caused concern within Washington regarding the procedures for reviewing the complaint and communicating with Congress. The attorney representing the whistleblower is unable to access the evidence due to its highly sensitive nature. 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.

Mahsa Amini was an Iranian girl who wore her hijab in a fashion that the Iranian morality police didn’t approve of … so they beat her to death.
Zahra Bani Yaghoub was a doctor of medicine.

She and her fiance were arrested, and she was raped and **beaten to death in custody…Silence from Affluent White Urban Liberals…If you’re doing your nut about [Insert Oppression du Jour Here], but you can’t be arsed to even mention the Iranians, at best I’m going to regard you with the sympathy reserved for brain-damaged possums; and at worst with the absolute contempt you richly deserve.

Mobs are an organism. They act like a living creature. They might be made of people, but they react in known and predictable ways…This is why breaking contact with the mob can be difficult…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…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.

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.

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.

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.

A Muslim woman speaks plainly and without spin about the reality in the United Kingdom: Muslims now wield real power, British culture is disappearing, and political leaders have betrayed their own people. She understands it — and so do they. Britain has been sold out by its politicians to Islamic interests. The question is whether the British people will wake up before it’s too late.

Doing The Honourable Thing – Not in Britain’s repertoire anymore.

Well, seems that Great Mediocre Britain is continuing its slide into obscurity and irrelevance. I admit it is somewhat depressing to have a ringside seat at the destruction via self-loathing of one of the great Empires of history. A pox on all their houses.

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

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

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),
Somalia 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.

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

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.

Paxton has ordered the companies to provide documents identifying all of their employees, records detailing the specific products or services they provide, financial statements, and communications pertaining to company operations. Although the Texas Attorney General’s Office is currently looking at three businesses in North Texas, Paxton indicated that is the start of a much larger investigation.

When will California start ‘answering the call’ to support Newsom’s own residents whose homes were destroyed by wildfires more than one year ago? According to Robby Starbuck, no one on the staff of Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has even been in contact with Newsom.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“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.

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

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

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

She 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.

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

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

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

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

Bob Iger Is Determined to Keep ‘Song of the South’ Buried
https://pjmedia.com/chris-queen/2026/01/30/bob-iger-is-determined-to-keep-song-of-the-south-buried-n4948943
Song of the South, with main characters who are freed slaves, fell afoul of political correctness, and audiences haven’t been able to see it since 1986, unless they can get their hands on a bootleg copy. But Walt Disney took extra care to make sure that Song of the South wasn’t racist, as I wrote way back in 2013:

Bunny Hunting – Not just for professionals anymore.
https://thelawdogfiles.substack.com/p/bunny-hunting
How bad could that be? Well, the title of this essay comes from a sport that ham radio folks like to play — “Bunny hunting”. Not only do amateur radio enthusiasts have fun chasing down radio transmitters — like the Baofeng in the X video above — but they’ll even do it on foot. Let me restate that: A bunch of radio nerds find a great deal of pleasure in discovering which of them can locate a transmitter the fastest — and will venture out from their lairs to do so. Not the military. Not the police. Not the government. Private citizens doing “speed radio direction finding” for bragging rights, the fun of it, and minor prizes.

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.”

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

WEEKLY THREAT AND ALERT ROUNDUP

The 2026 National Defense Strategy,(https://media.defense.gov/2026/Jan/23/2003864773/-1/-1/0/2026-NATIONAL-DEFENSE-STRATEGY.PDF) published late last week by the Department of Defense, delivers a stark message; the United States can no longer assume that major threats will remain overseas.

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

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

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.

“This Is WW3”: Chris Bray Visits a Riot – is unimpressed
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.

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.

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.

Minnesota’s AG: Churches MUST Allow Don Lemon’s Cameras — but Mosques Need ‘Protection’

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

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.

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.

When this is done, I want Stephen Miller to be the first one who is tried and convicted and fking dangles.”…”I want him to be brought before a court of law, because he is the sole executive that runs all this DHS, ICE stuff — the ‘ICEstapo.'”

West Virginia Librarian Arrested for Shockingly Soliciting Trump Assassination on TikTok
https://istandforfreedom.com/librarian-arrested-trump-tiktok
Morgan L. Morrow, a 39-year-old librarian at the Jackson County Public Library, was arrested Sunday evening and charged with making terroristic threats. Her crime: posting a TikTok video attempting to recruit someone to assassinate President Donald Trump.The video’s caption read: “Surely a sniper with a terminal illness cannot be a big ask out of 343 million.” Yes, a public employee, drawing a taxpayer-funded salary, casually soliciting a would-be assassin from among the American population. When deputies detained Morrow at her home, she reportedly admitted the post was “intended as a threat directed toward President Donald J. Trump” and cited “personal reasons for wishing harm upon the president.”

Press Covers the Offensive Fashion Choices of ICE, and the Acceptable Sexism Toward the Second Lady

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.

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

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.

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