219లో 1 – 200 కొత్తది» సరి కొత్తది»On Jan. 23, 2016, Donald Trump was campaigning in Iowa when he made a remarkable announcement: "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?"
-------------
Now we know that he really meant this. Not as a joke. Not as NYC hyperbole. But as what he really believed. Trump really believes that you can shoot anyone in the face and kill them if they are filming his ICE officers at a protest, and they will be granted total immunity from prosecution. We are in the End Times.
Lonejustice, many of us knew then exactly what he meant. I’ve repeatedly argued he could order an air raid on Saint Jude’s Children’s hospital and get the same results.
We’ve seen this movie too many times.
The incomplete quote from lonejustice was a joke, and if you watch his full line on video you can see the humorous delivery. But, more importantly, his first two words are ‘They say’ (I could…) He wasn’t making the claim, just repeating what someone else had said. And he was laughing.
"The incomplete quote..."
is what you'd expect from a leftist. Liars lie- always.

You left out words you dishonest piece of shit.
Ah yes Beast, the infamous “they say” as in “I didn’t say that” much like his leadership, “don’t blame me, I only work here”.
From Ronald’s beloved WaPo: “They say I have the most loyal people -- did you ever see that? -- where I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters.”

“Now we know that he really meant this. Not as a joke. Not as NYC hyperbole.”
Some conservatives keep saying don’t pay attention to what he says, pay attention to what actually he does.
We have seen it, we’ve been paying attention.
We got off easy--about 1.5" snow and a bit of ice--very few downed lines and frozen mains compared to most of our winter weather events in recent times.
The dire comparisons to '94 didn't pan out, but it was fun to see the old footage on the local news. We were out of power for nine days (no cable for almost two months!) but had hot water at least, and we all slept in one bed, pioneer style (us and eight y.o. kid).

Or is it that you know you are a lying piece of shit and the people you call murderers aren't actually murderers?

Yes, Biden et al support Capitol punishment and Obama supports relieving "burdens". Leftists support American civil liberties unburdened through selection.

@Narr, I got 12”, which seems typical to me, I guess.
Our point of comparison is the Blizzard of ‘78. After being cooped up for a week, mom and dad took us out to a shopping mall in the suburbs just to get out of the house. I remember several teenagers were doing donuts around the huge mall parking lot, and chasing each other in their cars around the giant piles of snow 15 feet high.

lonejustice just can't figure it out: "Trump really believes that you can shoot anyone in the face and kill them if they are filming his ICE officers at a protest ...
Actually, Trump knows that if someone points their vehicle at you and tries to run you over, you are legally allowed to shoot them 4 times in the head and kill them.
Trump knows that "peaceful protesters" don't bring two extra mags worth of ammunition to a "peaceful protest."
You just aren't going to win lonejustice.
Your narrative has to be able to at least be able to survive a surface level examination. And yours don't.
If you bring a gun and extra ammo to a peaceful protest and you start impeding law enforcement in their duties, they are going to kill you and we are going to let them. Encourage them, even.
And if you don't like that, leave our country. There are plenty of other countries you can go live in. Go.
Yes the subway video is AI, but NYC-area cops do have their own version of the Supremacy Clause: the man in the bag is always right (the "bag" being the blue uniform, which NYPD has never been into severely tailoring, pressing or spit-shining, cuz dey got woik ta do).
A few years back, the Port Authority PD locked up a TSA guy for trying to stop one of their officers from going through a checkpoint at Newark. I never found out what finally happened in that one. TSA aren't actually supposed to stop anyone, so perhaps it was seen as a frolic and detour rather than exercise of his federal powers. (I would of course disagree with that: for the Supremacy Clause to mean anything at all, cases have to be heavily interpreted in the fed employee's favor) CC, JSM
On top of everything else, shooting a guy 10 times, with 6 of the shots coming after a pause with the guy lying motionless on the pavement, is a sign of something deeply wrong in ICE's culture.

That is because you are a dishonest piece of shit that supports criminal illegal aliens who murder and rape Americans and steal money from taxpayers.
Your chances of ICE attacking you are 0%.
But if you commit assault and resist arrest they will defend themselves.
Peaceful protestors bite off fingers.
In a post where we're encouraged to talk about anything, why is Trump the subject of the very first post? Are there not enough opportunities to talk about him on the internet already?
It's kind of a game for me to open these posts and scroll down until I find the first Trump one. It being the first one ruins the fun and excitement I have thinking that maybe this will finally be the post where he doesn't get mentioned in the comments.
For those of you who are so obsessed you can't stand not posting about him, why don't you just post "Trump!" the way people used to post "First!" in comments sections? It's not like you're saying anything new or insightful.
Was the weather as terrifying as predicted
I think the hype machine has gone overboard
And as a results persons lose confidence in weather reports as they have in other areas
What Trump was referring to in the 'shoot someone' statement was actually from a piece in the NYT or WaP that had mocked Trump's supporters with that very statement. Trump turned it on its head. That's why the crowd was laughing.
Just finished watching “Steal” on AMZN.
Very good!
They lost the argument, so they come for abuse
Could Trump be playing 5D chess ahead of the midterms? Framing ICE as a militia that shoots unarmed civilians might ironically serve as a winning message for his base.

From what I’ve read and seen, this is an open rebellion encouraged and abetted by Democrats in Minnesota and elsewhere.
It’s sedition and there must be accountability and severe consequences for what these alleged Americans are doing.

Recently revealed Signal chats show that this felonious paramilitary operation to disrupt ICE operations is being formally coordinated with Minnesota's Lieutenant Governor and other elected state officials.
This is a criminal conspiracy of immense and troubling magnitude that reaches all the way to the Minnesota Statehouse.

This isn’t a protest — it’s an operation. Anti-ICE activists in Minneapolis rapidly track, doxx, and harass anyone they believe is tied to ICE.
Inag supports biting off fingers and she voted for Walz.
Point and laugh at the real Nazi.
"It would be great to have an honest debate with the opposition, but alas, not to be."
I don't think there is really much to debate about. Ronald J. Ward is not going to try to explain why he believes that it is immoral to enforce the immigration laws. Igna is not going to explain her view that billions in fraud is not a problem. We won't be hearing from lonejustice about why he feels called upon to defend rapists and child molesters. They do not have any intention of debating the issues. Instead, they are going to whine about the fact that trying to prevent the enforcement of the law is dangerous. Criminals have been complaining about that for a long time.
"Just finished watching “Steal” on AMZN.

Were you a Drops of God fan before? Not to mention that it is now starting with the new season.
IMHO, the original story was good enough. But the images of Japan and France were exquisite. I love going to both countries. Especially Japan.
To me, the start of the new season seems a bit aggressive in emotional pacing compared to the first season. But, I look forward to seeing how it goes.
They never apologize for the bloodshed mayhem their lies spread
Is it as good as Leverage which played in similar sandboc
So….this crazy guy that died was part of the Signal chat group led by the Lt. Governor of Minnesota. He’s been very active in the doxxing of ICE agents.
Did he have the right to carry his weapon? Yes.. But he was an idiot to do so, and he committed a crime by not having his ID AND HIS CC PERMIT.
I don’t want to hear about that “he was a nurse!” Even nurses can be crazy.
Thats the long and short of it
Even people named Pam can be crazy.

Kak can't even get basic facts correct:

Of course, Paretti wasn't shot by ICE. He was shot by a US Border Patrol officer he was illegally fighting.
It is telling that the Left is so relieved to have some dead white people to wave around, so they can stop trying to convince us that massive immigration is a good thing. They lost that argument, and they know it. So they are delighted to turn from attacking a law that is widely supported, to attacking the people enforcing the law, and hoping for mayhem.
I've always read that Communist regimes always have ties to criminal gangs and I didn't really believe it. It seemed to me that those regimes had enough power to murder and steal on their own. But recently, I don't know why, I've come to feel that I could understand the connection in the impossible possibility that such a situation came to exist in America. And something else has passed through my mind - that if such a regime ever existed in some part of our beautiful country, it would be Trump with his intransigeant ways who would turn over a rock and expose maggoty, crawling bodies eating a decaying form. It would seem as if he caused it in the first moment of shock. "Did you have to turn that rock over? Ten thousand lakes, and can't I walk by one without you finding maggots?" But then common sense would start up. Some things we need to know. What is that form those maggots are crawling over? Is it, or was it, the reality of a democracy? Was majority rule done in by a majority? Is there a majority for a Clean Government party? Sunrise 7:25. Despite the way it looked at that moment, the sun did rise.

It is telling that you don't care about the government taking away the liberty of citizens/killing citizens.
BHO deported more than three million illegals. But he did not take away the liberty of citizens/kill citizens.
You are on the wrong side of this, at some point (hopefully) your brain will click over and you will go to the right side.

Ignarants are ignorant
Most of us assume that the inhabitants of places like Minneapolis and Portland are largely Communist zanies. But I suspect it isn't true. The thing is, if you put up a Biden-Harris sign in your front yard in 24, it sat there unmolested. But if you put up a Trump sign, or wear a MAGA hat, you had better be ready for vandalism and public rudeness, up to and including assault. The Left is openly terrorist, and rely upon their eager criminality to suppress the expression of opposing views. It may well be that the elections were stolen, and most of Minneapolis is under the mistaken impression that their neighbors are all lunatics.
. . . if the shoe fits . . .
We have determined obamas greater plan he wanted to deport a pittance then import an avalanche and then have them legalized
We recall SB 10 and other exercises
“Even nurses can be crazy.” Believe me, paminwi, we know THAT’S true.
The longer the confusion continues, the more likely it becomes that public opinion is going to continue shifting in the favor of Federal law enforcement carrying on with its sworn duties. The Progressives hope they can inflame passions - provoking incidents, berating ICE, obstructing legal activities, provoking lethal force. That's manna from heaven right there, poking Trump with a stick to get him to send in the troops.
But I think that won't happen. As long as ICE is successful elsewhere - where the police are cooperating and playing on the team - people are smart enough to make simple comparisons. Why doesn't the same happen in Minneapolis? Then they'll start to read - and question.

That the immigration laws should be repealed? That they should not be repealed, but neither should they be enforced? What? RJW? Igna? lonejustice? Hell, why not. Kak? Fredo? gadfly? Left Bank of the Charles? I won't ask Howard, he is a fairly pure troll.

I mean, with Howard, I get the feeling that he takes that position which enables him to superciliously mock the other commenters. Given the audience that Althouse has unaccountably attracted, this puts him on the Left. But he will troll the Left when there are points to be scored.
RJW is fairly clearly a recent Soros hire, if he isn't just LLR Chuck recycled. The Igna are always with us. I haven't really taken lonejustice's temperature. He kind of reminds me of Meathead on Archie Bunker. A dim-witted foil, who states the party line without even understanding his own side's arguments, let alone the opposition's.
They really stay for abuse, there are other sitss where theor silly conjectures will be sustained
MAGAs, "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."
Noem's, Vance's, and Bovino's enthusiastic falsehoods about this shooting should astonish us, but their repetition is too predictable now. Everyone is a "domestic terrorist" or "paid agitator"--slanders uttered without facts by people who should respect the great responsibility of their positions more. If four officers can't control and detain a man already on the ground without escalating to deadly force based on a weapon already secured, then the problems are your training and your officers.

Meanwhile in other important news- there appears to have been an attempted military coup in China. And it may still be going on. No way to tell for sure- it's China. Our spooks may have a better inkling but, they can't tell us... This throws the invade Taiwan timeline off into the future.
And in weather, we here in CNY seem to be getting the amount of snow predicted. Which is highly unusual since weather here is predictably unpredictable. I've so far avoided taking the tractor out. But I've also been going out every 2-3 hours for 20 minutes scooping off 2-4 inches of snow rather then waiting for 18" to fall. In single digit weather all day. Our driveway isn't all that big. This will be the biggest snowfall at one time of the last few years, but not last few decades since moving here. Remarkably few power outages in NY. I've had a window open all day for national and NY outages. TN looks like the hardest hit state so far for outages. As of right now just north of 278,000 customers without power.
"@john mosby: “So how are electric cars doing in the snow and cold? “ Took the Tesla out to navigate the Dallas ice Sunday morning. Really fantastic handling. Four wheel drive, and anytime you started sliding, it corrected. I’m very impressed."
1) you have AWD, not 4WD.
2) tires matter more than anything.
3) the issue with an EV in the cold is that range goes down.
BTW, I've had three EVs, and I still have an R1S. I think that EVs are the best vehicles for most people, for most situations. I also have more than two dozen other ICE cars, so I don't think only having an EV is a good option.

Just an observation for Kak- and maybe some others- all the members of the terrorist signal chat, including the newly dead domestic terrorists, are domestic terrorists.

“Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, in recordings obtained by Axios, seems to have a bone to pick with Vice President JD Vance and sometimes, President Donald Trump.
“In his remarks, which lasted about 10 minutes and were reportedly made in a private meeting with donors sometime last year, Cruz portrays himself as an economically-minded, pro-interventionist who has the president’s ear.
Domestically, Cruz cautioned donors about Trump’s tariffs, which he said could result in severe economic and political consequences. Cruz is reportedly heard telling donors that he told the president “if we get to November of [2026] and people’s 401(k)s are down 30% and prices are up 10–20% at the supermarket, we’re going to go into Election Day, face a bloodbath.”
Cruz said a conversation he had with Trump about tariffs “did not go well,” and that Trump was “yelling” and “cursing.” Cruz said Trump told him: “F*** you, Ted.”
“Trump was in a bad mood,” Cruz said. “I’ve been in conversations where he was very happy. This was not one of them.”“
Reportedly Cruz then yelled back “Fuck you Trump and don’t you dare call Heidi ugly ever again!”

No one had yet explained how the crowd outside opened the magnetically locked doors that could only be opened from the inside. And somehow, among the instigators they have found, they haven't found the ones who were breaking windows outside the building. But if you were otherwise walking by- they found and prosecuted you.

I've studied history. You obviously haven't.
What cannot continue won't. Simple as that.
https://forward.com/fast-forward/800163/alex-pretti-killing-jewish-minneapolis/
“Alex Pretti was killed Saturday. Within hours, a Jewish community gathered to mark the end of Shabbat — and to reckon with his death.
The shock of his killing rippled quickly through Temple Israel of Minneapolis. As night fell, they joined online with Jews throughout the region to acknowledge the loss during Havdalah, the brief ritual that separates sacred time from the workweek, folding an act of communal mourning into the moment when Shabbat slips away.
The service, typically meditative and transitional, took on added weight. Alongside the familiar blessings, congregants spoke of Pretti — of the violence that ended his life and of the unease that followed them into a new week.”
Gospace, so you are going on the record to say that you are against overthrowing the government? And you hate that DJT let the criminals that were convicted of attacking the Capitol and police on J6 go free. Right?
Or, are saying that the criminals that were convicted of attacking police on J6 were not attacking police on J6, even though they lost in trials? Hence their trials and convictions were deep state fraud, and these folks did not do what they were convicted of hence they should not pay for the crimes that they did (according to the law of the United States of America)? So you do support DJT giving a free pass to the J6 criminals. Just as I'm sure you like DJT giving Hernandez a pardon because he wasn't really a drug king pin. And I'm sure you like DJT taking funds from Venezuela oil and putting it in a Quatari bank account that he personally controls. Likewise you love him starting a crypto scheme days before being sworn in. And I'm sure you like him cheating contractors and normal folks (for example him being court ordered to pay twenty-five million to the retards that paid for the Trump University scam). And I'm sure you love that he was best friends with Epstein, and he's been convicted of sexual assault.
You are dedicated to DJT.
Yikes!

So you want to get into "removals" v "returns" re deportations.
Okay, BHO got up to 2.7 million removals.
BTW, I don't care that this number is a bit less than three million, that doesn't change the point I'm making when I use this data. My biggest problem is that this is an esthetically ugly thing to type. To be technically correct I'll need to state that BHO deported more than three million people that included 2.7 million removals and 0.3 million returns.
That verbiage = yuck! IMHO.

"But he did not take away the liberty of citizens/kill citizens.

Seems like the answer is somewhere between these two scenarios.
Hmmm.... just stuck on that stubborn distinction between ICE operating smoothly in multiple states where cooperation exists between state and federal agencies, and already-arrested illegal aliens with deportation orders are handed over and routinely deported as per lawful procedures, and then there's Minneapolis. Where do the differences lay, one wonders? Is ICE operating differently? Is there a cooperative relationship there? Could that be part of the distinction?
Can someone point me to the policy positions of sanctuary states and cities, where the benefits are not only explained, but substantiated, proven, and these proofs endorsed by the voters? Not rhetorical aspirations, the proof in the pudding? Let's have a look at them.
la Douanier - from the previous thread: some active, some former, with an age range of late twenties to early fifties. Of the three replies there are no takers on your 2A sound bites, and no mention in the replies about ‘zombies’.
Peter Schweizer’s The Invisible Coup is very disturbing. Highly recommended.
Aggie,
The federal government has killed a disarmed citizen. First the federal government shot him in the back a bunch. And then after he was listless, the federal government shot him some more times.
As I read your comment it looks like this killing was the result of sanctuary policy. So that settles it. Case closed. Walz and other Ds are the people that killed Alex Pretti.
Thank you for rehashing the most boilerplate, mundane talking points that completely ignore what we have all seen really happened here. Without your contribution to this thread none of us would have heard of the shit you are spreading here. It's not like you're super late re jabbering about the most basic garbage POV rather than looking at the government killing an disarmed citizen.
Nope, you're adding totally new stuff to this blog.
Thanks for contributing your totally novel POV!
The Democrats must be pumping a lot of money into trolls. They must think they’re in a lot of trouble. I hope they’re right.
Beast of E,
Your friends must sit around and talk about gun stuff, even if they don't refer to "zombies."
My friends go on and on and on about who they got this or that part for guns. And a bunch of them have these manual press things that let them reuse bullets. And they always ask to use a CNC machine so I can have gun parts milled for them. And they love jabbering about how they start with one registered piece and then the build out the fire arm from there.
I don't have any guns. Though I have fired a bunch of my friends' guns. Hopefully that's not too illegal. I was going to go on a big hunting trip with a friend in Montana, but the paperwork required was too much hassle. I needed to go through some sort of class that had to be scheduled.
Anywho, Bag said about half of his friends have guns. For me it's probably ninety eight percent. Basically, everyone I know hunts and/or has fire arms. I mostly live in my most rural house where everyone grows up with fire arms.
But, I don't have guns. I just need to listen to friends jabber about guns. The military guys are the ones that talk about "zombies." My friends that are and always have been country folks don't talk about "zombies."
Folks, don’t talk to this guy. Sounds like a set up. Be careful.
"Your job ends at that federal line."
Can you tell me where the federal line surrounding NYC is?
**************Find a world map and look for the country called the United States of America.
Aside from the UN, foreign embassies and consulates, Indian reservations and state properties, everything inside the USA's physical land boundaries is inside the "federal line". Whether everything inside the federal line is also under federal jurisdiction is a different matter.
I see this crisis in MN and other sanctuary states as a willful adaptation of "The Palestinian Victim Model.” Radical groups (e.g., Hamas, Antifa, Socialists, Communists, Students for Justice in Palestine, and other NGO's, and local Democratic Party officials, etc.) have seen how effective the media has been in demonizing Israel in the last two years. This victim narrative is now being used here to provoke outrage towards law enforcement. We are hearing elected officials referring to our law enforcement agents as Gestapo, etc. We see people being instructed to obstruct law enforcement. We see essentially harmless people such as a "poet" and a "nurse" doing incredibly stupid things like blocking traffic, ramming ICE vehicles, chasing down and physically accosting law enforcement officers, believing nothing bad should happen to them as a consequence. People who would never be involved in violence towards police are suddenly putting themselves in danger. These newly minted tough guys have no appreciation for the real danger which law enforcement agents face to remove criminals and protect non-violent people. Police are never perfect but they are willing to do dangerous work. Why would any sane person who respects law enforcement try to interrupt and antagonize them? Why would elected officials actively push ordinary people to become victims, to join a cause to sacrifice their lives in order to prevent violent criminals from being arrested and deported?
The outrage over the deaths of Good and Pretti serves the political agenda of the organizations pulling the strings in the background. Lots of the funding for these related groups come from the same sources, anti-American of course. In the case of MN, the immediate goal is to energize the Democratic Party voters and protect the fraudsters who keep the Democrats in power. Their ultimate goal is to undermine and destroy the US from within.

Weird that ICE are operating in dozens of states, but it only gets violent in the one where we just uncovered a billion dollar fraud ring with probable links to the governor.

Something not much talked about is the woman Pretti went to assist. In most routine policing situations, when someone gets shoved or slammed to the ground, one of two things usually happens:
The person is arrested (for interference, obstruction, resisting, etc.), or the officer’s use of force is clearly justified and documented.
The fact that this woman was pushed to the ground and then seemingly just… left there, with no arrest and no public charge should raise eyebrows.
Maybe this bullying and thuggery, you know, just beat a few or slam a few to the ground and move on is the lawlessness the Gulibles refuse to see.
THIS is what an unruly crowd of idiots look like. They are begging to get shot so they too can become famous like Saint George Floyd.

Even in wars, when enemy soldiers deliberately, explicitly set out to kill Americans, we don't treat them as criminals. Maybe we sometimes treat their leaders that way.
Yet LEOs who kill Americans through momentary misjudgment, while enforcing laws we the people enacted, get the book thrown at them. And sometimes not even misjudgment - just things we don't like the look of.
Probably in part because we almost never get to go after their leaders. Because their leaders are us. CC, JSM
There are bubbles and then there are the gold and silver bubbles.
Clinton and Obama urge Americans to 'speak out' and take action after Minneapolis shootings (NBC News, via Yahoo)
"Two Democratic former presidents on Sunday condemned the scenes in Minnesota after Alex Pretti was killed this weekend, framing the tragedy as a pivotal moment that calls Americans to "speak up" and take action.
Former President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama called Pretti’s death a “heartbreaking tragedy” in a statement.
“It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault,” the Obamas wrote."
More at the link. My take: incitement.
John Mosby, there is no inconsistency. Marxist have always been harsh in sentencing anyone that stands in their way of power. They would use children to rat out parents that might go against the collective. These federal agents were working at address that seems to be a hub for the fraud being conducted in Minneapolis. That means they were a threat to the funding. They had to be stopped.
"The federal government has killed a disarmed citizen. "
You don't know this to be true.
”Today we remember freedom is not free”
Pretti had a Sig 320. If there is a round in the chamber and the firearm is in battery the gun can fire if it is handled wrong. For example if while in battery the slide is depressed from behind the striker can disengage and strike the primer.
It is well known to P320 owners that you don't wander around with a round in the chamber.
This is most likely the first shot being heard.
Once again, morons, don't go armed and aggressive to protest law enforcement legally doing their jobs.
Remember ICE is there to arrest criminal illegal aliens. Don't get in their way.

John Mosby said; “ Yeah, because my first reaction after a fatal shooting is to say "hey guys, don't forget that traffic ticket."
Thing is, the woman was shoved to the ground prior to shooting. And it’s far from an isolated incident.
I guess my point is that such shoot from the hip brutalities against protesters from unaccountable shoot from the hip thugs doesn’t exactly ease the tensions.
But then, the DHS has made their message clear; One of ours, all of yours.
Nick Shirley caused the mayhem on the streets of Minnie. Once his video was released, the Commie libs realized the gravy train was about to end. Graft, corruption, fraud, and fake voters were going to be exposed. Why else would the entire Commie apparatus go balls out against feds. It’s pretty clear that Walz and X (Ellison) will be in deep doo-doo once the truth is revealed.
Humperdink said...
It would be great to have an honest debate with the opposition, but alas, not to be.
So true. So many delusions are being kept aloft by repetition and psyops but the clear truth is that many states and cities saw far more ICE removals from their streets and jails without any confrontations. The public at large hears "In Minneapolis and across the country..." from these fools and dismiss it because in 99% of cities such chaos does not reign, because the leaders do not incite insurrection, and their elected Democrats are not running a criminal Signal chat that doxes agents and sends terrorists to disable ICE patrols and block them.
Sure for now the crooked D judiciary will not issue warrants. But what happens when idiot Walz pushes too far, forcing use of the Insurrection Act? Democrats are cheering on a pyrrhic victory with every news cycle.
And just WHY was she pushed to the ground?? Maybe because she was obstructing justice and got in the ICE agents faces?? Did she spit in their face?? We don't know. All we know is that according to the left, we are supposed to let left wing obstruction go on, and sit on our hands.
"Thing is, the woman was shoved to the ground prior to shooting. And it’s far from an isolated incident."
"The fact that this woman was pushed to the ground and then seemingly just… left there, with no arrest and no public charge should raise eyebrows."
I agree 100% percent with Chuck on this one. Clearly there are not enough federal forces on the ground to handle the amount of arrests needed. Since local police and (as Inga points out the recently activated national guard) are not going to help this this needed task that Chuck so clearly us calling for the only option seems to be the US military. Not something I'd expect Check would call for, but something we have in common.
“obstructing justice”
Fool, so now DHS goons are Judge, Jury and Executioner?
Wendy and Pacwest on fire. Nice!
Are you feigning surprise that cops are tasked with making split-second life-or-death decisions, by employing the old commie "judge and executioner" line? Or are you, like Renee's dumb terrorism partner, still complaining about the fact "real bullets" were in the agents' guns?
Pro tip: DON'T obstruct law enforcement and they won't be forced to remove you from their path. Everyone not retarded or voting DFL (BIRM) already knows this.

Pacwest, I have no doubt that Trump wants the military in there to beat and shoot more citizens, particularly if someone mentions the Epstein files he’s illegally sitting on. But I think he’s going to wait until someone shoots back. He’s already put that playbook on display.

This is excellent. Just restates stuff we have seen here already, but does so very well. Please forgive me for the block quote:
https://x.com/Schwalm5132/status/2015470661490057540
As a former Special Forces Warrant Officer with multiple rotations running counterinsurgency ops—both hunting insurgents and trying to separate them from sympathetic populations—I’ve seen organized resistance up close. From Anbar to Helmand, the pattern is familiar: spotters, cutouts, dead drops (or modern equivalents), disciplined comms, role specialization, and a willingness to absorb casualties while bleeding the stronger force slowly.
What’s unfolding in Minneapolis right now isn’t “protest.” It’s low-level insurgency infrastructure, built by people who’ve clearly studied the playbook.
Signal groups at 1,000-member cap per zone. Dedicated roles: mobile chasers, plate checkers logging vehicle data into shared databases, 24/7 dispatch nodes vectoring assets, SALUTE-style reporting (Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, Equipment) on suspected federal vehicles. Daily chat rotations and timed deletions to frustrate forensic recovery. Vetting processes for new joiners. Mutual aid from sympathetic locals (teachers providing cover, possible PD tip-offs on license plate lookups). Home-base coordination points. Rapid escalation from observation to physical obstruction—or worse.
This isn’t spontaneous outrage. This is C2 (command and control) with redundancy, OPSEC hygiene, and task organization that would make a SF team sergeant nod in recognition. Replace “ICE agents” with “occupying coalition forces” and the structure maps almost 1:1 to early-stage urban cells we hunted in the mid-2000s.
The most sobering part? It’s domestic. Funded, trained (somewhere), and directed by people who live in the same country they’re trying to paralyze law enforcement in. When your own citizens build and operate this level of parallel intelligence and rapid-response network against federal officers—complete with doxxing, vehicle pursuits, and harassment that’s already turned lethal—you’re no longer dealing with civil disobedience. You’re facing a distributed resistance that’s learned the lessons of successful insurgencies: stay below the kinetic threshold most of the time, force over-reaction when possible, maintain popular support through narrative, and never present a single center of gravity.
I spent years training partner forces to dismantle exactly this kind of apparatus. Now pieces of it are standing up in American cities, enabled by elements of local government and civil society. That should keep every thinking American awake at night.
Not because I want escalation. But because history shows these things don’t de-escalate on their own once the infrastructure exists and the cadre believe they’re winning the information war.
We either recognize what we’re actually looking at—or we pretend it’s still just “activism” until the structures harden and spread.
Your call, America. But from where I sit, this isn’t January 2026 politics anymore.
It’s phase one of something we’ve spent decades trying to keep off our own soil.
Isn’t it obvious by now that the seditious mischief roiling Minneapolis is some kind of a demonstration project for a China-backed overthrow of the whole country? This is not hard. And, apparently, the Democratic Party is either a willing accomplice or a hostage in thrall to its captor — like Patty Hearst, the heiress kidnapped and bamboozled by psychotic Maoist maniacs who styled themselves the Symbionese Liberation Army, until she was happily making bombs and robbing banks with them (and ended up in prison).
It is well understood that these ICE-Out riots are organized and funded by a network created by one Neville Roy Singham (American, b. 1954), now based in Shanghai. Singham funds the Party for Socialism and Liberation, The Peoples’ Forum, Code Pink, the United Community Fund and a web of other money laundries that supply all the logistics for Lefty-left mobs going back to the George Floyd / BLM operations of 2020 and including the pro-Palestinian uproars of 2024.
If you want an honest debate Hump (yeah, right), where do you want to start?
How about with honesty, or lack of, itself. For example, why the firehose of lies from top officials right after the shooting? Even if that’s a bit strong, I think we can both agree they were profoundly wrong. And why did Vance and Miller lie (or were and still are wrong) that ICE agents had immunity from their actions when legally they do not.
I don’t think Vance or Miller were trying to convince judges and I don’t think Bovine and Neom even cared if they’d later be proven full of it. I think they were signaling that they had ICE’s back, that they can beat and kill with abandon and they’d be there to lie for them, protect them, regardless of the truth.
That’s what it looks like to me, just to be honest.
Singham’s father, Archibald, was a Sri Lankan poly-sci prof at Brooklyn College, specializing in Third World revolution; his mother was a Cuban-born Marxist. Singham founded a software development company called Thoughtworks in 1993, and sold it to a London-based private equity firm, Apax, for $785-million in 2017, after which he devoted himself to the cause of “dismantling capitalism,” and destroying the USA. If ever there was a James Bond villain come to life, it’s Neville Roy Singham.
And then you have his perfect foil, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who visited China at least thirty times in his previous career as a teacher, his travel often funded by the CCP. What was he up to there? I think we’re going to find out. We’re also going to find out what he has been up to in the state he supposedly runs, especially vis-à-vis the developing mega-scandal of billions creamed off taxpayers through the Somali fake social services fraud network. It’s already known that some of that money found its way into Democratic Party coffers. How much of it landed in the bank accounts of Minnesota politicians and administrative officials? We’ll find out about that, too.
Why does one have to go to substack to find out the truth, whu are the blank pages so utterly useless

Walz's leftist goons are obstructing justice.

Joe Scarborough is trying to create a postmodern Tet Offensive shooting pic:
https://x.com/ScarboroughNow/status/2015591696851997085
The photo does look ugly: the offender is literally on his knees, while a standing BP agent shoots him in the upper back or head. But it is a freeze frame - we are deprived of knowing even what happened right before and right after.
But in other ways, the photo is not that bad for CBP: it shows the agent firing from behind at a bent-over offender, which means he can't see everything going on in the offender's front. And, based on the videos, this is happening after the "Gun!" call. Does the agent have to wait until a gun comes out and the offender spins around to shoot him or one of his mates, or just fires blindly over his shoulder? No.
And of course the still photo does not include the constant PHWEEEEEET!!!! soundtrack, or the continual random people running through the scene.
But anyway, like the Tet photo, it won't change anyone's mind. Even moreso now, that no one has to rely on the monopoly feed of Cronkite and the WaPo. CC, JSM
Broken leftists are manipulated by their corrupt party.
Violent confrontations by radicals and rage-fueled neo-nazi leftist only occur in corrupt run democratic cities.
Oh also, the agent is firing one-handed. Cops train to shoot pistols two-handed on the range for nearly all engagements. One-handed firing is for very close range and very short reaction time. My agency didn't shoot one-handed stages for most of my career - when we changed, I had to grab my belt with my left hand to keep from instinctively bringing it up to the gun.
The agent shooting one-handed supports the proposition that this was an instantaneous reaction to a threat, not a cold-blooded execution. CC, JSM
mmm hmmm.
The media remove the whistles and prior harassments. Removing Context is hack and what MSNBC does best.
