Good.
Do it.
And interestingly enough both CNN and MSNow's coverage of Minneapolis has suddenly become very subdued this morning.
Nothing will come of it as he won’t get permission to do it but still- good.
CNN and MSNow's coverage of Minneapolis has suddenly become very subdued this morning.
…probably because overnights came in and they’re shocked to learn fighting to keep violent criminals in the country doesn’t poll well with the general population…
They have less support and moral standing than the South did in 1860.
At least democrats were honest about supporting slavery in 1860. Today they are lying about it.
Well, there seems so far to be group approval here for the POTUS to claim and exercise dictatorial powers. A stupid dictator can only produce what we have seen so far: incompetence, brutality, and more horrors to come.
Last night, Frey did tell his side to go home. Kind of a parallel of Trump's final address on J6. CC, JSM
I look at Walz and Frey with astonishment. One would think the Commie libs in Minnie could find competent candidates to run for the highest offices in the state. Surely there are like-minded Dems with charisma and capability, as opposed to a bumbling fool (Walz) and an adolescent (Frey).
Deploying enough to provide adequate force protection to ICE would make Walz look like even more of a putz.
Do it NOW!!!
Aggie said...
Do it.
They need to wait until as many democrats as possible get out there in the streets.
Give them a few days to gather up in Minneapolis.
Then we need to have an outdoor venue for the Sedition and Insurrection trials.
The best part will be when the Minnesota National Guard lets the country know how much they hate Tim Walz.
This is the link to last night’s live feed (provided by Lem Vibe Bandit - thank you)
At about the 10 minute mark you can start to watch how these ICE officers are treated by these mobs.

What took so long?
They need to wait....
The idea is not to maximize the confrontation, but to minimize it with the immovable object: troops. Look what happened to the crime rate in Washington, DC, and every other city they were deployed to. They went in with all kinds of hot media talk, executed their mission, and went out with very little fanfare because the success was so remarkable it could not be mentioned, for fear of giving due credit. That's what is needed in Minnesota. Results, not circuses. I want illegals deported, prioritizing criminals and welfare/Medicare fraudsters, and so do the majority of Americans. This is the quickest way to get more of them deported.
Suspend Habeas Corpus to eliminate courts stopping you.
Arrest rogue governors.
Appoint military commanders to run rogue states until the end of the war.
Hang the insurrectionists.
Get your face carved on Mt. Rushmore.
This is Trumps legacy if he can get it done.
Otherwise, he will go down in history as the President who lost America.
Robert Cook repeats history: "Well, there seems so far to be group approval here for the POTUS to claim and exercise dictatorial powers.
Democrats called Abraham Lincoln a dictator as well.
And murdered him, too.

I’m watching and listening to that looney, seditious prick Tim Walz implode.
Many of us are waiting for Walz and Co to be indicted. MN Dem's actions tell us the level of desperation they are facing.
I'm not sure what Minnesota hopes to accomplish by edging closer and closer to Fort Sumpter levels of insurrection. It was tried using real armies filled with brave men and led by competent, and in many cases brilliant generals, and the result was utter destruction from which the South did not recover for a hundred years. And the South's very worst politicians were no where near the level of total putzitude of Walz and Frey.
The Fascist-American Bund members are out in cackles!

I look at Walz and Frey with astonishment. One would think the Commie libs in Minnie could find competent candidates to run for the highest offices in the state."
Jessie Ventura. Okay, he wasn't a DFL, but he was socially liberal.
Why on earth would protecting criminal illegals be so important?
so important that you create and fund dark money networks called "ICE WATCH" - and you get your broken insane mentally ill base to join and waste their time helping you by "Placing their bodies on the line" (-white female MN leftist)
Jesse “the Body” Ventura, charisma yes, brains no. As I recall, Rush labeled him Jesse “the Mind” Ventura.
So I guess Minni has history of electing lunatics.
Nuke them from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

As I understand it, the ICE Watch people are apparently breaking federal law. How about before sending troops into Minnesota in midwinter the government simply sends FBI agents along with the teams of ICE agents. If some delusional biddy like the late, lamentable Renee Good attempts to impede the actions of the ICE agents, have the FBI agent place her under arrest and have her car towed to a federal impound lot.
We've been learning lately that billions upon billions of dollars of fraud undergirds the election of democrat politicians. That's what they're protecting.
DJT is so bad at cooling off angry protesters, it’s hard not to conclude he throws gasoline on the potential fires on purpose. Fortunately, there is not always a flame. His thinking seems to be that it will help the DJT agenda to turn protesters into rioters. BLM, J6, Ice - it’s all the same.
DHS has a “worst of the worst” page where they list the people they are arresting. Some of them are pretty minor but they were likely hanging around with someone specific and were picked up as collateral, just like Homan said would happen even before the inauguration.

Simple answer but I'll give you a hint: One word - starts with capital T.
So, what happens if/when Trump invokes the Insurrection Act? Does he send in regular Army or National Guard?
Nationalizing of the guard in Minnesota. House arrest of Governor Walz and Mayor Frey (they would be prevented from issuing ANY further statements against the federal government).
Implementation of a curfew and restrictions on protestors gathering in public places. Harsh punishment for violators.
Immediate banking investigation to find the stolen US tax dollars and tie those dollars back to local politicians and criminals such as the Somalis. Rounding up of all those involved for military trials.
Shutting down of the Minneapolis airport so the Somali's cannot escape. Restriction on exit visas.
Suspension of Habeas Corpus in limited ways to prevent Democrats from attempting to challenge in the courts.
Immediate takeover of the police department and DA's office to ensure the justice system functions properly. Appointment of a slew of US Attorneys in the region.
Appointment of a temporary military governor to run the affairs of the state while Walz is under arrest and a new election is slated.
Crushing of the women and the children too.
Drinking wine at sunset while in the distance enjoying the softly wafting lamentations of their women.

And not long after Frey came out and called for calm in the most inflammatory way possible. Brilliant bunch they've got running that place.
You have to realize that the two guys running against Jesse Ventura for MN governor were even worse. Skip Humphrey and Norm Coleman were both awful on the stump.
It’s time. No more people should die for criminal illegal aliens.
It's all the rage in Tehran, but really it's not a good look.
This shit has to stop. Someone in the Democratic Party needs to get to Walz and get him to back down. He's turning Fort Snelling into Fort Sumter and my fellow Minnesotans are in danger because of it. Walz's speech last night was one of the most despicable and reckless things I've ever heard.
Minneapolis is the flashpoint because it always is, but if you watched the press conference that Mayor Frey and Police Chief O'Hara had yesterday, you got the truth of the matter from O'Hara. Minneapolis has 600 police officers, way below what they need to maintain order under normal circumstances, primarily because the idiots throughout city government went on a "Defund the Police" kick after the George Floyd riots.
O'Hara knows he's thoroughly fucked right now, because ICE isn't going to leave until the job is done and the combination of out-of-town agitators (remember, Renee Good was a recent arrival to the city) and the homegrown lunatics are feeling like they can act with impunity, because they know MPD won't (and probably can't) do anything to stop them. The only thing that might slow things down is that we're going to get an Arctic blast over the weekend, which may give the unprincipled principals in this situation to rethink their positions because it will be too cold for the homicidal street theater to get rolling.
I didn't know a president could do such a thing. Maybe I knew it at some point and just forgot it.

You need to watch the video posted above. It is a well organized mob of 50 - 100 big men. No FBI agent is a match to these guys. The women are window dressing.
You mean like the professional agitators and insurrectionists that we are using in Iran?
The problem with these techniques is that they often come home to bite you. France supported the American Revolution with a lot of techniques for overthrowing a government. The techniques used by the Americans were surprisingly sophisticated for a bunch of rustic rubes living in a world backwater. Next thing you know, well, revolution comes to France, and heads end up literally rolling.
These techniques we have been using for decades to seize power work, you you know, seize power. Where is Frodo when you need him?
’DJT is so bad at cooling off angry protesters, it’s hard not to conclude he throws gasoline on the potential fires on purpose.’
It’s not his job to cool off the angry ‘protestors’. And you need to look to Walz and Frey, re: gasoline.
Walz is placing himself, and all of his lame-duck, failed election baggage, precisely where Trump's preferences, with all of his 'stolen election' baggage, presently reside. Trump has the cards. Walz is a coward, so I predict he's going to back down.
(But I hope he doesn't).
Watch about an hour of that video to get a sense of what these ICE officers are up against.

This is precisely what the Global Left machine is working toward. This is what they want: a ratcheting up of violence, burning streets, out of control cities, nationwide.
Per my comment in an earlier post, this is one of those plates...wobbling, ready to fall.
Scenes of Federal agents beating down 'helpless simple protestors' will be shown and played in a loop all year, through election day.
Unintended consequences always rule the day. Or, as The Fixx said, one thing leads to another.
I'm not sure what Minnesota hopes to accomplish by edging closer and closer to Fort Sumpter levels of insurrection.
Walz overheard people saying edging was fantastic, but he arrived to the conversation late and didn't catch the context.
This shit has to stop. Someone in the Democratic Party needs to get to Walz and get him to back down
Barack Obama is busy raking up the dead bodies washing up on his lawn.
This is EXACTLY the kind of fundamental transformation that Obama and George Soros want. Open rebellion.
Trump needs to find some balls.
It’s amazing how effective the few women sprinkled about are. They provide the chants. Sometimes they’re up front so they’re visible. So easy to underestimate.
Renee Good would likely still be alive if Walz and Frey had ordered/allowed Minnesota law enforcement to aid federal law enforcement by handling local law enforcement duties like crowd and traffic control. That is how things have been done in America pretty much always, but not anymore, I guess.
Who benefits from the chaos?
Musk says the Simulation always selects for the most interesting outcome, so should be quite a show.
Interesting the progression of resistance to Trump: bureaucratic (IC, FBI), legislative (impeachment), judicial (injunctions), and now state/local. What’s next?
Good. About bloody time, actually.
In CO - the Polis and his dems work overtime to thwart ICE.
Simple arrests and transfers of illegal criminals from prison - have ben banned by the corrupt Tin-Pot Colorado Democratics.
Polis and Weiser are also attempting to stop local law enforcement in various ways.
Hah! Lindsay Graham said that the "killing of protesters is still in full swing!"

Don't fall for the repeated Leftist propaganda that ICE is limited in jurisdiction to immigration crimes. They are sworn Federal LEOs who can arrest anyone committing the crime of obstructing their operations. No other organization is needed. What is needed, if the Democrats truly wanted to cool things down, is the implicit or explicit repeal of the neo-Confederate "sanctuary" laws so the local police can simply turn illegal alien criminals over to ICE when they are arrested or even convicted. Tom Homan has repeatedly made the point that forcing ICE to go door to door to arrest the illegal alien criminals the blue state loonies simply catch and release increases the probability of bad outcomes not just for ICE but for the honest immigrants (illegal or legal) and anybody else who might become collateral damage.
Deja Vu all over again.
I've seen this before in Alabama's rejection of the Feds integrating the school systems. Walz is "standing in the doorway" this time.
How did that one work out?
Jesse Ventura legacy looking superior now.
Females are often the symbols of religious and political movements. Take the Virgin Mary, Joan of Arc, and blue octopus propagandist Greta Thunberg.
IMO, women fall into this role because they are typically not violently insane, but passionately batsh*t zealously nuts when they happen to be insane. They are the ones who let obvious wolves (e.g., transgendered m-to-f threats) into their fold too.
The males in any movement use females and the zealots as useful fools to advance a raw power agenda.

janos (his real name) seems to have crawled out of his crypt, to denounce ice
By the way these anti ICE men have weapons. At the end if that video there are 2 maybe 3 vehicles abandoned by ICE agents (they were in physical danger). This part may have been edited out because several agents were doxed.
At any rate the cars were smashed inside and out and spray painted. Do you think the protesters ran to nearby stores to buy paint and tools? No, they must have brought the spray paint and smashing tools with them.
this is when the insurgency, starts getting real, instead of theoretical, the basis for a foco strategy,
like kyle schideler has noticed,
It’s no longer the Democrat Farm Labor Party, it’s the Democrat Somali Party (DSP).
this is all designed to ramp up confrontation and then institute martial law, and eliminate the midterm elections.
Then Trump can run the USA like Zelensky does Ukraine.
Trump had a bad go of it in Portland when the dancing frogs made fun of him, so he quit and tried again. Luckily this time ICE is shooting people in the face, provoking the protests that he desires.
MAGA meanwhile cheers. They love it. The conflict, the bloodshed, the big dick energy.
I just want peace and democracy. Not this non-stop clown show. Meanwhile Althouse is a reliable concern troll worried about how the Democrats are causing it and just asking questions about how is it all Biden's fault?
Send more ICE, send Marshalls and perhaps SS and FBI agents to protect them and arrest their attackers. Do whatever else he can do along those lines.
Do not invoke the insurrection act. Make a statement to the effect that "Tim has shown that he cannot get a handle on the situation. I will be happy to help with Army and NG troops if he requests them."
Then just let Minneapolis burn and seeth until the people of MN make Timmy squirm and ask for help.

All we'll get from that is a smoking ruin where Minneapolis now stands. The MN majority consists of spineless milquetoast classical liberals and lunatic Marxists. They will never exert any influence against the Walz Gang, either because they're too timid to act, or they are fully in league the corruption. Minnesota is not Texas.
Nicollet Ace Hardware on Nicollet Ave is apparently making money off the protesters. They have created a display of Safety glasses, gloves, respirators and such. They posted a pic on BlueSky yesterday saying

Prison is not the punishment for sedition, treason, and stealing billions of dollars from American citizens.
Nicolett Hardware is owned by Elena Nelson and Sam Rosch. Here's a news report about their store from 2022 B.E.C. (Biden Era of Crime)
Ironically, the likely thieves were Somalis.
Ace Hardware is a franchise network, not unlike Hampton Inns. Judging from the advertising, mostly on sports programs, their key demographic is men, who are mostly siding with ICE and Trump. Contact their corporate HQ.
Achilles, I agree that there is that risk and it has to be framed correctly. PDJT is way better at that than I am.
The other risk is that if he does invoke the insurrection act, he looks like the dictator that everyone (including Cook here) accuses him of wanting to be.

Exactly.
Iran’s supreme leader is about to send a message to the protesters.
Can't wait. Walz FAFO time
This is insane—really 1930s brownshirt tactics.
It has also been very ineffective in its stated goal of arresting illegal immigrants and a waste of resources and taxpayer money. There have been a total of 2,400 arrests in Minneapolis since the operation started at the end of November. Given the number of ICE agents involved, that is a low number- about half the average in 2025. If they were in Texas and Florida instead, they would have arrested a lot more.
"Whatever happened to water hoses?"
I'm surprised you ask.
Bull Conner. It's the same reason we use lethal injection rather than crucifixion. As a criminal deterrent, nailin' them up worked rather well until 33 A.D.
"If they were in Texas and Florida instead, they would have arrested a lot more."
3000 ICE officers aren't needed in Texas or Florida. I'll wager there are fewer than 500 ICE enforcement agents in Florida, a few more in Texas, possibly. And those are for the entirely of each state. In Texas and Florida immigration enforcement works as it is mandated by law to work. Local authorities, city cops, sheriff's deputies, and state cops (FHP, THP, and the Texas Rangers) arrest illegals and deliver them to ICE for deportation. If the Walz Gang were law-abiding, those 3000 officers would not be required.

Quaestor: ""Whatever happened to water hoses?"/ I'm surprised you ask./Bull Conner. "
As a mostly-white person, I acknowledge that reparations are needed for the misuse of fire hoses on blacks. Therefore I suggest they be used on the mostly-white MN rioters.
History textbooks can put the old pics of Mr Conner's depredations next to new ones of bluehaired Karens getting similarly blasted, to show the US is balanced and healed.
There are lots of military base fire departments; Trump can just fly some apparatus and men in. He can limit the deployment to DOD civilian firefighters, so no Posse Comitatus issues. CC, JSM

You misunderestimate the ingenuity and disregard for the truth wielded as ICE Watch's weapons. They might acknowledge the FBI's jurisdiction, but they will repeat the same crap about not recognizing their uniforms, never having seen their badge before (and the FBI badge is a very odd, tiny thing that's all one color relief - the words etc don't really stand out the way they do on an enamelled badge).
The only thing they might acknowledge as immediately recognizable is the Minneapolis PD uniform. Which will only get deployed over Frey's hogtied weeping arrested body.
And then the Karens will just switch back to ACAB. CC, JSM
All Trump can do is issue executive orders. And take action. Certainly the insurrection act seems appopriate.
But we all know that one of the 700 district judges will then stop it and issue an injunction. Because Far-left Federal judges rule based on their politics.
That's why over 100 injunctions have been issued against the Trump administration in less then 1 year.
Unheard of. But neither the Republicans in Congress or on the SCOTUS are willing to do anything to restore sanity and fight judicial tyranny.

Sic 'em Trump.
@Big Mike, I agree I misunderstood your point, and should have grasped it. I think john mosby is correct, though. If deprived of the "US Citizen" gambit, the AWFLs will just pivot to their equally bogus "Legal Observer" and "Just Protesting" claims. They are not there to demonstrate the law is unjust in its application by being arrested so the outcome of the confrontation won't change much. They are there to create a scene, keep the crowd riled up, get bystanders to white-knight for them, and produce sympathetic images and sound bites.
"He's bluffing."
He's not bluffing. Anyone holding a royal flush isn't bluffing. Walz didn't call.
He folded.
You're being conned. If the Dems really believed that they'd be all for defunding ICE.
They would be far more terrified of ICE as well. Right now they feel free to be pretty damned intrusive.
Were sending him back to syria thats the tar pit
I still say we give Minneapolis what they want and bus in the murderers and rapists. No need to invoke Insurrection Act. Just send them the people they want there.
From John Hinderaker @ Powerline, it does look like Walz and Frey might be folding
Renee Good was sympathetic but it's hard to gin up much sympathy for three illegal alien men beating on the officer who attempted to arrest one of them.
@jobn mosby, when did the FBI change its badge? Back when I worked for them as a consultant the badge was about 3 inches tall, counting the eagle on top. The top of the shield was dark blue, with the letters “FBI” in gold. The badge used to be displayed in a folding leather credential holder that displayed the badge and the agent’s credentials, including the agent’s photo. The credentials include the letters “FBI” in large print. Hard to mistake.
At any rate, I understand that the case law is unambiguous. If the agent announces himself or herself, is wearing the FNI jacket, and displays badge and credentials, the perp cannot just say words to the effect that they didn’t believe it. Cuts no ice with the federal courts.

"He has always tried to make nice with Democrats."
At first, yes. If the Democrats hadn't insisted on being raging assholes, they'd have gotten a good portion of what they wanted already and their voting and welfare fraud would still be hidden from the country.
No they wouldnt they have a will to power to dominate
No, the shame is entirely on the Trump administration for utter incompetence.
First, how stupid do you have to be to announce where ICE agents are going -- as the Trump administration does? That gives time for illegal immigrants to skip town (as many in Minneapolis did) and protestors to organize -- as many in Minneapolis did. That makes it much more difficult for ICE agents to do their job. Since the end of November when this Minneapolis operation began, only 2,400 arrests have been made. That's less than half the average rate in 2025 given the number of ICE agents in Minneapolis.
Second, sending poorly trained ICE agents that don't follow basic rules outlined in their training manuals will result in a flood of lawsuits against the federal government for excessive use of force, false arrest, and a host of other illegal actions.
Moreover, the majority of Americans do not support this according to recent polls -- and that was before the worst of what we've seen in Minneapolis. Opposition to authoritarian brownshirt tactics will only grow around the country, as it should. This is democracy and fighting to preserve it against an autocratic regime.The sooner we get competent government with professional, well-trained people the better. This administration is just the opposite.
I just want peace and democracy.
Then tell the thugs on your side to go home.
Problem solved.
The Minnesota insurrectionists should learn from the methods and rhetoric of the peaceful (if enthusiastic) January 6 protestors.
And as I responded to your stupid 'joke' in the other thread, if you want everybody thrown in jail and/or shot like the J6 protestors, I'm all for it.
“ Nothing will come of it as he won’t get permission to do it but still- good.”
Here’s the thing. He doesn’t need permission. The courts have consistently given the President broad discretion in cases like this.

You mean like the professional agitators and insurrectionists that we are using in Iran?
The problem with these techniques is that they often come home to bite you. **France supported the American Revolution with a lot of techniques for overthrowing a government.**

Huh? The first French Revolution began in 1789, *after* the American Revolution. Per AI: The subsequent French Revolutionary Wars (1792-1802) and Napoleonic Wars saw France spread revolutionary principles and reshape European political boundaries, but this all occurred after 1789, not before.

Save your breath. Nobody knows less about the United States, our history and our laws than commissar Cook. You might as well be talking to a dachshund.
Re; Jesse Ventura - he was actually the mayor of a Mpls suburb/city for some years, and was very quiet and competent at it, which led to his drafting as governor. He started strong, but the media baited him into a froth and he lost it completely. They had their way with him. Too bad - he was good. Our media in MN sucks.
Oh, good God. Someone who has not a chance in Hell of successfully completing ICE training asserts that ICE agents are “poorly trained.” Maybe you should move on from being an Althouse troll to writing comedy skits for TV sitcoms.
