Frank! Stop!
Another day on the Althouse blog where on the threads that pertain- liberals can't define what a legal observer is.
But then, I've yet to see a definition in the Instapundit comment section. Or Legal Insurrection. Or anywhere on X.
Bandied about as it were actually a thing, and a defense against being accused of obstructing federal agents- but no definition. Come on- define it. Be brace. Be the first to articulate a lie. Don't wait for the lie to come from above- define it yourself.
Or if you have feedback on the talking points you get- tell your leaders to define it.
The hour draws near. LFG HOOSIERS
"Another day on the Althouse blog where on the threads that pertain- liberals can't define what a legal observer is."
To be fair, they can't define what a woman is either, and that's a far simpler challenge.
I will be legally observing Indiana this evening and rooting for them to thump Miami. I think the first half will be key, as the Hoosiers have recently opened it up early on some solid teams. Not that I’m having flashbacks or anything… :)
I think you just have to identify as a legal observer. Then others need to believe as well because feels….
Either Mellencamp is a tiny person, or he borrowed that jacket from a defensive lineman--or both.
"I think you just have to identify as a legal observer."
Is there such a thing as an illegal observer? Would being one get you deported?

That said, Hoo Hoo Hoo, Hoosiers!
"Do you suppose leftist thugs would dare to barge into a mosque?"
Probably not, because they think they're on the same side as the mosqueteers. They'll be shown soon enough (see: Europe) that's not true.
Whenever the thieves in state legislatures purport to tax wealth, they will make it retroactive. So the time to flee such a state is Right Now, not when or if the thieves actually get the tax passed. That means that just introducing such bills will reduce the tax base immediately, whether the proposal passes or not.
Mellencamp did not attend IU, he went to Vincennes University in Vincennes, Indiana.
Well its pure genius many people say, keep talking about Greenland and your not talking about the DOJ and Administration breaking a recently signed law to release Epstein files. MAGAS call that pure genius. Great new hats in Greenland MAGA = Make America Go Away...It will take decades to renew the USA standing with the global community., Beautiful!!! Love the letter to the Prime minister, if that didn't reflect THE REAL then you know who ain't paying attention. Gonna take his ball and go home if you don't play his way( seen it on the block as a kid, still represents mental deficits :(

Elderly Hmong St. Paul citizen arrested by ICE in bitter cold wearing only underwear, blanket
Video from St. Paul's Eastside shows ICE agents pulling an elderly man from his home. His family says Chongly Scott Thao is a U.S. citizen who was later released after agents confirmed his identity.
Thao, a U.S. citizen, was detained by ICE agents who believed he matched the description of two convicted sex offenders they were seeking.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has since stated that Thao lived with the offenders, which his family disputes, saying they’ve lived in the home for two years, and they suspect ICE was looking for a previous resident.
Thao's family and local officials, including Mayor Kaohly Her, have criticized the actions of the federal agents.
Mayor Her expressed her anger over the incident, stating that the sex offenders ICE mentioned do not reside with Thao's family.
Community response
What they're saying:
Mayor Her visited Thao’s family to hear their account of the incident. Along with other community members, Her is concerned about the impact of such actions on the Hmong-American community, who now fear ICE more than past Communist threats in Laos.
"They didn't ask for ID. They didn't ask to verify if it was the right person," said Mayor Her. She criticized ICE's statement as "irresponsible and reckless."
Thao’s family has set up a GoFundMe campaign to assist with expenses following the raid, including repairing the broken door.
What we don't know:
ICE didn’t answer FOX 9's specific questions about the incident and has not provided further details about why Thao was specifically targeted.

We all know that Inga if she saw three illegal aliens that she knew were illegal gang raping a 12 year old American citizen, and she saw ICE outside approaching, Inga would immediately spring into action to try to block ICE as she warned the illegals to try to help them escape. Because she is a dedicated Democrat ready to help illegal aliens rape and murder as many Americans as possible.

College football needs to wrap up around New Years Day.
Uh oh. Igna has hit the bottle again.
A more pleasant thought: Go Hoosiers!

"College football needs to wrap up around New Years Day."
It's not just college football. MLB is closing in on having a seven game World Series running into Christmas and the Stanley Cup isn't far off from the 4th of July weekend.
Inga is all in on the Brownshirts.
My brother went to Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Miami was a University when Florida was a swamp. He’ll be a Mami Redskin until his very last breath. So Go Hoosiers! Beat the swamp Hurricanes! (I went to a small Division III school.)
At first glance I thought the Mellencamp pic was a dwarf Meade trying to dance. Have to adjust my meds. Go Miami.

The DOJ is going to go after Don Lemon but I hope they don’t think he’s just going to bend over and take it.

ICE has arrested over 300,000 people in 2025.
Looks like they were wrong once. They seem to be hitting a pretty god average.
The person ICE wanted to arrest was previously arrested and would have been easy to get if the Democrats hadn't released them into the public.
Thao wouldn't have been arrested if Democrats were obeying federal law.
Inga thinks this makes it OK for democrats to try to kill ICE agents because she is a retard.
Is former Indiana basketball coach Bobby Knight at the game? If he is sitting on a orange chair, the refs best not make a mistake.*
* Historical reference to Indiana’s Coach Knight throwing a chair in a basketball game against Purdue 1985. Not as notorious as Wayne Woodrow "Woody" Hayes punching out Clemson’s Charlie Bauman in the Gator Bowl in 1978.
Iman, yeah, hope they don't go too hard on Mr Lemon. I'm sure he was just sucked into the protest. CC, JSM

Trump's letter to Norway is a bit disturbing. He may be intentionally projecting an image of irrationality, unpredictability or volatility to intimidate the Danish into making concessions. Or, maybe, he's gone mad?

It was a red chair and Woody did not punch out Charlie Bauman. He hit him once. Woody was 65 at the time, way past the time he could punch out anyone, especially a young college football player.
Inag - the cult leader of ankle biters.
The entire commentary about the NFL playoffs so far has been bitching about coaching and officiating decisions. This is why Trump won.
I think it’s unfair that Indiana isn’t letting Miami use their offense.
Americans Are the Ones Paying for Tariffs, Study Finds ~ WSJ
"Research contradicts President Trump’s claim that foreigners are footing the bill, and could weaken his hand in the dispute over Greenland"
"By analyzing $4 trillion of shipments between January 2024 and November 2025, researchers found that foreign exporters absorbed only about 4% of the burden of last year’s U.S. tariff increases by lowering their prices, while American consumers and importers absorbed 96%.
Rather than acting as a tax on foreign producers, the tariffs functioned as a consumption tax on Americans. The $200 billion in additional U.S. tariff revenue last year “was paid almost exclusively by Americans.”
Pretty much everyone saw this coming — except Trump, Scott Bessent, Howard Lutnick, and Kevin Hassett. The last three were deliberately lying. With Trump, who knows? Between being a moron and a compulsive liar, it’s probably both.
Yeah, he only hit him once, Humperdink. I don't know what all the commotion was about.
"I don't know what all the commotion was about."
Maybe he was a "legal observer"?
Inga:
Remember this one?
Incident
• Date: December 12, 2013
• Location: al-Bayda province, Yemen
• Event: A wedding convoy (cars transporting the groom and guests) traveling between villages
What happened
• The convoy was mistaken for an al-Qaeda group and was struck by U.S. munitions (widely reported as a drone and/or cruise missile strike).
• Multiple vehicles were hit.
Casualties
• At least 12 civilians killed, with some reports as high as 15–17
• Several others wounded
• Victims included the groom’s relatives and wedding guests.
Outrage is always selective, isn’t it Inga.

The Rest Is History guys dropped the first ep of an Iran series today. They emphasized that Persia has always been ruled by a combined priest-king, going back to the pagan days. So the imams are part of a very long tradition.
The first ep ended just as the 1979 revolution was starting. Hope they drop another ep soon.
What I really want to know is how religious the IRGC really are. They look minimally Islamic, with their regulation haircuts and Don Johnson stubble beards. And they have big stakes in the Iranian economy. Sort of a Persian version of the ChiCom PLA. Will they fight to the death for the mullahs? Or will they cut deals with a secular regime? CC, JSM
It occurred to me today that Trump's exceptional celerity has pushed the left and our foreign adversaries to reveal their agendas far earlier than they wanted. They seem wrong-footed.
Woody punched him in throat. My dad, a Woody fan, claimed he didn’t hit him at all. Clemson’s Bauman intercepted the pass thrown by the equally infamous Art Schlichter.
Mellencamp looks like a former member of the Lollipop Guild expelled for gross boorishness.
If Indiana wins, this will be a great day for Meade.
Dominating first half by Indiana. What an impressive season. Nothing but respect for the program…
Indiana, our Indiana
Indiana, we're all for you
We will fight for the cream and crimson
For the glory of old IU
Never daunted, we cannot falter
In the battle, we're tried and true
Indiana, our Indiana
Indiana, we're all for you
"Original Mike said...

It was a big deal, and cost Woody his job and ended his career. Like Knight (who did go on and coached after he got fired from IU for a physical altercation with a player) sad to see great careers sullied but they did it to themselves.

"Humperdink said...

Yeah Bauman got tacked into the OSU sideline, and came up taunting the Buckeye bench. Woody punched him in the throat. I think Woody was just a frustrated old man long past his sell date by that point and it got the better of him.

I remember seeing that game on TV. The announcers couldn't see what happened and the refs didn't have mics back then so no one knew what was going.
In the spirit of helping Minnesota heal from the loss of some many of their illegals… I mean, undocumented sons and daughters, may I suggest a PSA. Maybe Tim Waltz can do it.
“Are you tired of running and hiding from ICE. Come to Minnesota...”
It could use some more work… I don’t feel like using AI. Any suggestions?
I was at "Woody's last game." Didn't see the punch. Had something to do with a clarinet player in the Clemson band. Not watching at the moment.
Great weekend.
Great first half. One play at a time. Finish.

To those asking where the arrests are: MN state prosecutors could have made arrests yesterday. The DOJ must first go before a federal judge to obtain an arrest warrant.

FWIW...
The DOJ must first go before a federal judge to obtain an arrest warrant.
Barack Obama ordered the US military to murder 4 Americans who had never even been charged with a crime.
Don't tell me the DOJ "must go before a judge" to get an arrest warrant to deal with these people.
We just need a President with a fucking backbone.
Democrats don't hesitate to kill American citizens with zero due process.
Trump should grow some balls.

I don't think that's true, but he was fired the next day after that Gator Bowl.

I didn't tell you that. Harmeet Dhillon (Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division) did. If that's not good enough for you, take it up with her.

Nobody gives a crap about the WSJ or your lying bullshit anymore. The WSJ is a bunch of globalist tool bags and have always served the giant multinational corporations.
Tariffs are paid by people who make stuff in other countries.
If you don't want to pay tariffs make your stuff here.

So Inga's hero was conspiring with foreign soldiers who were in the country raping women and children.
"So Inga's hero was conspiring with foreign soldiers who were in the country raping women and children."
I think everybody had that on their bingo card.
The members of the last group arrested under the FACE Act got five years in prison. So that's what these people who went into a church should get. And if you ask me, they went into a church because Don Lemon said it was too cold to protest outdoors.
And I feel the way that the Minneapolis leftys are scrabbling to get national attention, clicks, money. But the black-block teams won't come there because they'd have to cover up their weird attire with heavy coats, boots, gloves and scarves. And even then they could easily get frostbite if their faces aren't well protected. That's why they're trying to rely on Minneapolis citizens who at least know how to stay warm on the picket line. But the citizens are inexperienced and likely to listen to comflicting voices telling them they are protecting rapists. They don't have that Commie deflection shield which wipes away truth like a windsgield wiper. One sweep and facts are gone. Emotion sweeps in: "and then, and then the meanie ICE guys grabbed a perfectly innocent guy, and we whistled at them and kept saying "fuck" over and over and over, and said they were a disgrace to their moms, but they arrested him and even claimed he was a child molester illegal migrant. As if. " "Oh shame, shame," screamed the AWFL women and the news anchors. The guy was a pedophile but that wasn't clear till the next day and the next day has other things to talk about. So everybody who tried to free the pedophile and keep him in Minneapolis felt great about what they had accomplished though (fortunately) they accomplished nothing.
Wow what a play on 4th down.
I can't believe I haven't heard about this before now.

Well, near the moon.
"You mean Inga’s source didn’t tell the full story?"
Shockers.
"while American consumers and importers absorbed 96%."
Convenient how they lump those two together. Importers make money by finding foreign companies to take American jobs. Consumers are those lost jobs. These two groups have directly opposed interests, but hey lets call them both American to hide some of the truth.
We're all near the moon already. It's all relative.
I think on the moon is still a few years away. Hopefully before this decade is out, as that one guy challenged…
The last 50 km is the worry. There are concerns over the heat shield.
Plan is to land on the moon by 2028. I was thrilled in 1969 at 11 years old, and I'll be thrilled again.
Elon's on the hook for the lander, right?
I don't think they'll make 2028. I would think we'd have seen more by now. But I'd rather have Musk in charge than anybody else.
Had to look up "celerity". Thanks Ampersand.
Musk usually surprises in a good way. Still, maybe we need to get those slide rules back out to trim some time off the schedule.
Clemson’s Bauman intercepted the pass thrown by the equally infamous Art Schlichter.
One of my best friends from the USAF played against Schlichter in high school.

What a game. What a team. IU’s professionals outplayed the rest of the country. I was a senior in 1976 when the men’s basketball team went undefeated and was in the arena for the final. I watched this one from my living room but the thrill is the same.
Why do the schools bring their own state police to protect the coach?
Alberta's petition to secede from Canada is going wild, with thousands of people standing line in the snow to sign. Now expected to reach goal months ahead of time. It's being fast-tracked. Alberta is larger than France or Germany, and has an economy larger than Ireland or New Zealand. Top 5 in oil reserves, top 10 in natural gas. It's really gonna be a hell of year on this planet.

@mongo, congratulations on your alma mater
According to the Canadian Constitution, Aberta cannot be forced to stay in Canada, and the land and resources are owned by Alberta, not Ottawa. It would immediately be one of the most prosperous nations on Earth. 80% of trade is already with the U.S.
Congrads to IU. They stepped up when they had to (and got a little lucky). U of M's special teams lost them the game. A blocked punt for a TD, and missed field goal. Ouch.
Thought going long into the endzone was a bad call with 50 seconds. Should have kept dinking it down the field, but don't know what the T/O situation was.
In any case, Miami deserved to be in the playoffs and ND didn't.
And the IU coach had the guts of a cat burgler. Those 4th down attempts paid off.
"Barack Obama ordered the US military to murder 4 Americans who had never even been charged with a crime."
Really? In the USA? I must have missed that.
"According to the Canadian Constitution..."
Do progressives in Canadian government have more respect for their constitution than progressives in the US have for ours? If not, I predict... difficulties.
No time outs, but they still had plenty of time to move the ball down the field. Terrible decision and terrible pass by the Miami QB.
"Really? In the USA? I must have missed that."
Nobody said in the U.S. Are they no longer citizens when they are out of country? Can they be killed at will by their own government?

Trump should see if Canada would consider a swap for Minnesota.
In the era of NIL and unlimited transfers the sport has become a nightmare for programs and coaches. For a school to put together that team - and doing so without being a football blue blood - is even more impressive. Certainly one of the greatest accomplishments in the history of the sport.
Cignetti, his assistants, the AD, the administration - and the students, alumni, boosters, and fans - have everything to be proud of and to celebrate. Congratulations to all!! Wow!

Great work by our Hoosiers tonight. They earned it. It'll be awhile before the reality of an IU natty in football sinks in.
Get a time machine and make the best prop bet of all time. The only way I could feel better would be sitting on a stack of monster boxes right now.
I thought I saw Indiana supporter (and maybe Alumnus) Mark Cuban on the screen tonight. He was wearing an IU sweatshirt that, while once red, was now a light pink.
But it was a great game--each team dominated one half of the game--just not the same half. A good Hoosier win going against a Miami QB who was paid $4 million this year.
The Zebras didn't call a lot of obvious pass interference. Both teams had great defensive secondaries that were allowed to pretty much maul the opposing team's receivers.

Top Catholic Clerics Denounce U.S. Foreign Policy
Citing recent events in Venezuela, Ukraine and Greenland, three cardinals said their statement was inspired by Pope Leo.
Cardinal Blase Cupich said in an interview that, among his fellow cardinals, there was “a sense of alarm about the way things were going in the world.
The three highest-ranking Roman Catholic clerics who lead archdioceses in the United States said in a strongly worded statement on Monday that America’s “moral role in confronting evil around the world” is in question for the first time in decades. Their critique of the Trump administration’s principles — while not mentioning President Trump by name — escalates the American Catholic Church’s denunciations of the country’s top leaders.
In 2026, the country has entered “the most profound and searing debate about the moral foundation for America’s actions in the world since the end of the Cold War,” read the unusual statement issued by Cardinal Blase Cupich, archbishop of Chicago; Cardinal Robert McElroy, archbishop of Washington; and Cardinal Joseph Tobin, archbishop of Newark.
Citing recent events in Venezuela, Ukraine and Greenland as having raised fundamental questions about the use of military force, the cardinals call for a “genuinely moral foreign policy” in which “military action must be seen only as a last resort in extreme situations, not a normal instrument of national policy.”
These guys are as spineless as the people in Congress and knew and still chose to back trump and his administration and let the Genie out of the bottle and then sit back as they watched and now nobody is listening, you make your bed ,you sleep in it. Every knee will bow in the end. There are no excuses. Remember the original church Mantra,, kill the insolents, God wills it! :(

Why American lawyers are the enemies of humanity and why the profession needs to be eliminated.
Modern conflicts are not about personalities, or even about policies. They are about mass-conflicts re the divergent, irreconcilable interests of millions against millions. And, for the most part, these are not really about races and nations.
A case in point is the US legal profession. From the engineers/technologists point of view, these people are enemies of humanity, just as if it were a mass of pirates or a horde of steppe-barbarians. It is not a question of tweaking laws or decisions, but of eliminating millions of enemies.

Headline: “ Rep. Jim Clyburn Tells the Ladies of ‘The View’ That Republicans Are Trying to Bring Back Slavery”
Who would believe this nonsense …. other than Kak and Inag?
Clyburn was on Firing Line last week plugging his new book, The First Eight, about the black congressmen elected from his state during Reconstruction. One of the eight was actually a son of high-caste Haitian immigrants, who had been able to use his color privilege during and before the war, and then scooped up real black American votes after the war. Margaret Hoover decided discretion was the better part of valor and did not raise the obvious similarities to the immigrants taking stuff away from black Americans today. Or maybe she figures her viewers didn't need help and Clyburn would look even sillier without active opposition. CC, JSM

Back to Clyburn: yesterday during MLK events a lot of black politicians were accusing Trump of wanting to bring back Jim Crow, and specifically segregation. That's one of those believe-your-lying-eyes things. In all the ICE battles, the only black faces are sticking out of ICE face masks.
Maybe, maybe the SCOTUS stuff wrt the Voting Rights Act might hurt American blacks, but the gerrymandered districts are being used to vote for anti-black policies like open immigration and green scams.
Get those 30 million illegals out, and there'll be lots of housing and schools for American blacks to desegregate. CC, JSM
This is fantastic! The embedded videos are spot-on.

A young woman meme standing up for the U.K… I’m hoping a US version will soon arrive, countering the AWFL set in the US that’s protesting for cash and any meaning in their life.
Wow that multi-country force sent to “defend Greenland from Trump” has already bugged out and gone home. When I read that 12 of the 25 “military officers” were French, and saw my fellow Americans speculating if they could beat their surrender time set in WW2, I laughed. But no joke, they did in fact cede the ground in Greenland when faced with a threat from Trump… to tariff them.
Bravo, Macron! Way to go Kweir Starmer! Germany, WTF.
True they should have sent Amelia!

If you are confirmed as a Catholic don’t you have enough experience with the church to acknowledge there are periods in history when the church has been the enemy of civilization? Plural periods…
This is one of them...

"ICE has arrested over 300,000 people in 2025.
Looks like they were wrong once. They seem to be hitting a pretty god average."
Unless it can be done perfectly and without error, no law should be enforced.
What does "detained" mean, it could mean stopped and asked for identification. I hate to say it, but I was driving on the Northway once, and Trump was not even president, and I was stopped by a border patrol checkpoing, and everyone in the car was asked for ID. Yes, we were "detained" for that time.
"Should have kept dinking it down the field, but don't know what the T/O situation was."
They had no t/o's and needed a TD.
"As Soon As Next Month, Astronauts Will Return to the Moon"
Depends on what you mean by “return”. If the launch occurs, they will fly around the Moon. “Around” does not mean “land” and, in this case, not even “orbit”. They will go to it, fly to the other side of it, and return to Earth. Hopefully, the heat shield will make it through entry.
The project began under the Bush Administration as “Constellation”. Lockheed Martin won the contract to design and build the capsule in 2006. 20 years later, the capsule may have its first crewed mission. Some may compare this mission to another more than half a century ago. I rather compare the agency. For instance, SpaceX was founded in 2002. They just had their 600th Falcon 9 mission.
Yah we were stopped on the interstate just south of St. Johnsbury in a hidden corner. They never asked for ID but did ask me to roll down the back window. I complied, the. I overheard others disappointment they were stopping families and clean cuts- no tats or anything…
John Mosby @ 4:40 AM, it’s an interesting observation in these abnormal times watching the Polishers of the Turd who are generally coherent and consistent in deductive reasoning veer off the cliff and land in Batshitcrazyville.
While your screed is riddled with errors I could elaborate on, the;
“Get those 30 million illegals out, and there’ll be lots of housing and schools for American blacks to desegregate” stands out.
So, uh, simply remove undocumented immigrants from the housing market and waa-laa, no more long-standing structural issues such as zoning, income inequality, historic redlining, mortgage discrimination, school district boundaries, etc. The sales pitch that immigrants are the culprit of limited housing and schools is a product of propaganda think tanks and echoes what Project 2025 lays out.
And the “30 million illegals” overshoots credible figures by nearly 200%. Why not 100 million, considering abject dishonesty is fair game?
I went out and watched the Northern Lights.

Yes Jaq, it technically “could” mean that, particularly if that is how you want to polish it in today’s situations.
RJW, oh, so it’s only 10 million illegals? Well, that’s just fine! What are we worrying about!? Never mind….CC, JSM

We have a bunch of Democrat traitors who are helping them and a bunch of Naturalized Citizens on welfare that need to go too.
Now that you fucks are invading churches we are going to have to expand the net a bit. I am hoping for 50 million.
Achillies, I well understand your blatant disregard of due process, the rule of law, our constitution, and that you advocate vigilante justice as you’ve made those admissions numerous times. I’m not sure how or why you want me to respond as we obviously part ways on these issues so, well, bully for you.
That you are seldom called out on it from the tribe is telling.
’…no more long-standing structural issues such as zoning, income inequality, historic redlining, mortgage discrimination, school district boundaries...’
The only solution is to have the federal government own all the houses and provide them according to the citizen’s needs.

You're a psychopath. You never advocated for any of those things unless it could benefit you.
Is there some reason you need illegal aliens in this country? Unless, of course, they are your preferred victims.
Rusty, your elementary level question of “Is there some reason you need illegal aliens in this country?” is disingenuous because I’ve never advocated such.
If you have a question that doesn’t beclown yourself, I’ll gladly engage.
I wasn't sure if that second clip was Althouse or Meade, but I guess it was Mellencamp. If that's what he looks like now it's just as well that he's been lying low the last few decades.
