I can sit an watch what’s happening in Minnesota and agree maybe jack boot thugs shouldn’t be running around collecting criminal immigrants like something out of Planet of the Apes. I’m not going to pretend this is a good thing.
Then something like this comes up, makes me laugh to myself, and then I completely forget about the Planet of the Apes thing.
¡enlaces!
$75 million to raid local owned restaurant chains? Have you tried the food there? It might improve things.
What an odd thing to bring up in court.
Okay, but did they call the goalkeeper a bitch?
This is the most likely prediction to come to pass.
Whoever postulated the Board of Peace is just a alternative WEF or UN is looking pretty good right now.
A jaunty tune. Enjoy your Tuesday !
You say that as if it were a bad thing…
I expected this.
I expected the Spanish Inquisition.
You were just hoping to get the comfy chair Ted.
OK, one guy expects the Spanish Inquisition.
Sigh… yes, we’ve likely stuck our collective dicks into yet another hornet’s nest and will refuse to pull out for decades. We’re so good at it.
This, by contrast, is the least likely prediction to come to pass.
At least it isn’t the Ministry of Peace. That wouldn’t be for the Best(er).
The Core is mother. The Core is father.
I’m more in favor of cutting off the federal dollar pipeline and letting the sanctuary shit holes stew in their own shit, but since that’s a practical impossibility in the short-run, there’s not that many options that would satisfy the sort of lunatics who will happily get themselves blown away to protect child sex predators from getting deported other than suspending immigration law, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yup… you’ve got me as to what might fix this short of either capitulation to the Paid Mob Veto leading to Democratic Socialism or full on Insurrection Act and ignoring judges left and right (tantamount to hot Civil War just a matter of degrees). Because anything in between is going to be full on judicial cock blocked apparently…. and there’s not much anyone can do with that. It really sucks.
Weird how no Republicans other than Paul and Massie want to cut the programs being defrauded. Almost like the uniparty is in on all of it.
Yes. To Trump’s credit he absolutely did try to cut off all the federal dollars to shitholes and he was blocked in court, of course. So here we are.
I have less sympathy for any of the leftists asshats. This is all concentrated in Minnesota, in a few counties. It has not happened this way in red states.
Fuck the commies and the horse they rode in on. Remember this is just part of a commie plot to gain sympathy. Do not have any.
Never sympathy, the perfidy of the neo-wokes is fully on display here, and I don’t intend to fall for it.
But I’m also not ever giving federal cops much slack. If y’all want to behave like a goon squad, you can get issued a pickaxe handle and a ski mask and $7.25/hour. If y’all want professional treatment, then you need to demonstrate professional standards. This goes for both the worker bees in the street and the shot callers in DC.
The fraud is everywhere.
I am with Pat. The easy way to handle this keeps being taken away, so, mess with the bull, you get the horns.
Also, an idiot who jumps into a tussle and then resists arrest with a CCW, is too stupid to have a gun. Mostly because things like what happened, happen.
Illegals working at a restaurant?? Now I’ve heard everything.
Next they’ll be the subcontractors for construction and landscaping firms or some other surprise madness….
I don’t think that was just about illegal workers.
Back about 1998 there was a Mexican restaurant in Louisville that the staff wore name tags that included their home town. 90% of them were somewhere in Central America. Then one day we went in, and all the name tags had local addresses…their had been an ICE raid the previous week.
The food quality never recovered and it went out of business.
there…I really do know the difference.
And, yes, I typed “no the difference” the first time.
Why are the employers never held accountable.
If you want to get rid of illegals you need to disincentivize coming here. Your average restaurant owner doesn’t want to go to jail for his dishwasher, Paco. Put a few of them in jail, and let’s see how it shakes out.
I’m with you Muzzled.
You can even find the employers who are really exploiting the illegals to make an example out of.
But yeah, the penalty for employing illegals needs to be increased (or enforced).
Ice and the Sheriff’s Department nabbed 4 criminals yesterday in Brainerd, MN. Mexican Restaurant is temporarily closed ’til a new shipment comes in.

At first I thought Zip’s hamburgers had expanded south.
Did they get rid of the hot rod rabbit mascot?!
Looks like it from the website and street view signage, but I haven’t been in a Zip’s in over a decade. Their tartar sauce was god tier. I have a copycat recipe that my cousin claims he stole when he worked there. Whether he did or didn’t, it’s pretty darn close.
So tell us the recipe
Had to go dig it out from one of my backup drives, but it’s:
2 cups heavy duty mayo
1/4 cup relish
1 teaspoon finely minced onion
1/3 cup dill pickle juice
1 tablespoon vinegar
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon celery salt
2 teaspoons celery seed
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Thank you very much.
You bet. I may have to buy some cod fillets and bust out the deep fryer…
See, Trump was right all along, they are sending their drug dealers and rapists!
I’m working on a piece and am not white where ‘save draft’ is.
Under the three dots to the left of the Publish rectangle there is no save draft.
If I select the publish rectangle does it open a secondary menu?
I’m white.
I’m not sure.
OK. One moment
supremacist!
Here is a screen print, notice the save is not a button, but a link. It should say “Save Draft.”
https://www.glibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Save-button.png
Also if you attempt to close your window and it is not saved, a warning should pop up asking you to save. Now I don’t know your browser so that could be dangerous but that is an alternate method.
Don Lemon and a few of his friends will be peacefully joining you for church services this Sunday.
As you type, in the upper right corner (where the Publish button is), there should be several buttons going to the left of that (Settings, Divi Settings, Jetpack, View). The the left of that in light gray it should say “Save Draft”. As you type and put content in, it should autosave (which will be displayed where the Save Draft was), you should be able to click on it there.
Yes. See screen print above. Apologies for the dark screen print, I am a little blind.
I get those in a pair of three dot menus but no save link in either.
No independent flight Greg button either.

Ah. You’re doing this on a phone. Best of luck (seriously). The icon you’re looking for is to the left of the Preview label (looks like a cloud getting a visit from STEVE SMITH). That’ll pulse when it’s saving, and you should be able to tap on it to save as well IIRC.
I should have said it was on the phone. My apologies. I almost clicked the cloud.
Thanks, Neph and R.J. for helping with this. I have never tried editing WordPress posts on a phone.
After I select the cloud is it supposed to do something?
The piece is finished for review. Not sure where that link is either.
I may try it on the desktop tomorrow if it managed to save it.
It’s not the least user friendly thing I’ve used Toino, that would be quick books or word perfect.
I promise my piece has far fewer spelling errors than my comments. I typed it on the laptop but don’t have the internet on the laptop so dropped it to the phone…
Good night.
Ohhh! A phone! Did you manage to save it? I used to do that on an iPhone. Neph is correct. Click the tiny Cloud with an arrow pointing up. It will save.
I don’t know RJ, I clicked the cloud but it didnt do anything.
Here is an image:
https://www.glibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/IMG_3792-scaled.png
On mobile, it will autosave periodically. If the cloud is faded out, your current work is saved. If it looks like those above, press it, wait, and you will see “progress saved.”
If you are paranoid (who isn’t here?) open a second tab and look at all the posts you have. You should see your post and the last time you saved it. Then you can relax and know you lost nothing and close the initial tab.
I never got a message ‘progress saved’ or otherwise.
Don’t know where it’s at now. I looked around on the site and don’t know where to find it if it still exists at this point.
Is there a refresher somewhere on posting an article? If so, I need a pointer to it. I have an article all ready for review – possibly first of an occasional series…
Threedoor:
Just checked it for you, last saved 1540 Central and images are loading.
It worked,
Neph picked it up. Thanks everyone.
My mamma always said I was special.

XY is oddly purple-pilled, but he’s never been one to think things through all the way and he, like his demographic, assumes his experience is universal. Last night: “Doing taxes is easy.”
Little Dude, dafuq.
But also last night: “I’d rather have a bunch of illegal Mexicans than a bunch of H1B Indians.”
“Doing taxes is easy.”
It is, as long as you only have W2 income, don’t itemize, and have no investments.
My taxes have never been easy.
However, of course, taxes should be easy.
And income taxes shouldn’t exist.
They stop being easy fast when you start earning more.
I expect ours will be a nightmare this year.
Tax law was designed by lawyers and accountants to keep lawyers and accountants in jobs.
Mine are easy, just send everything to our accountant. He’s reasonably priced and very quick.
Tax law was designed by lawyers and accountants to keep lawyers and accountants in jobs.
Why do accountants get smeared and lumped in with lawyers and politicians? It was designed by politicians to win votes and fund programs. Intuit might lobby to maintain complexity but that’s a software company and not a CPA firm.
Okay, so my experience with accountants is this:
The first year we were married, I had begun training for medical transcription, which meant I spent money to do so. The course, books, equipment, so forth. I did actually work that year and got a 1099. Sent it to the accountant my parents had always used.
Fucking $2,500 tax bill. TF.
So my (new) husband said, “Hey, let’s try my boss’s guy.” Okay.
Fucking $2,500 tax bill but THIS guy e-filed them without talking to us first. W.T.F. dude.
I was bitching about this to my aunt (not one of the cunty ones) who’s kind of a math whiz, and she said, “Oh, wait a minute. You can deduct all your stuff because you have an actual business.” I do? “Yes. File an amended return.”
I went to the library, got a booklet and a Schedule C and a pencil and dissected that fucker line by line. Redid our taxes. Owed $2.62 or something ridiculous like that. The IRS finally wrote back and said they were going to forgive me the 41¢ they said I still owed.
If your accountant doesn’t know you or ask questions because YOU don’t know, they can’t do your taxes right. If you have to gather all this shit for an accountant to run the numbers, you might as well finish it yourself because you’ve already done the hard part.
Because like those special interests they also lobby for and against the passage of laws and regulations.
Professionals of every stripe who are lisences by the government tend to push for more liscencing to pull the ladder up.
Vote buying. 100%
Complexity to keep the buggy whip factory in business? Absolutely.
I’m fairly sure my tax accountant works for the IRS and Social Security Administration.
I went a few times with my state CPA group to the state capitol for “CPA day” to meet with state reps. We never advocated for anything other than simplification and against new taxes.
Is this increasing or decreasing complexity?
https://www.pwc.com/us/en/tech-effect/emerging-tech/stablecoin-controls-aicpa-criteria.html
They are shaping the discussion. Now is this to the benefit of clients or themselves? They’ll be the ones monitoring compliance, right?
Based!
Brown Christians > Brown Hindus
Yes.
Ask him what happens when you have 1099 income, capital gains, capital loss offsets. Oh, have him work in different state than he lives.
Ask him who pays more taxes and uses fewer social services.
The real question is which group has the hotter chicks.
That was the discussion.
“89% of people take the standard deduction.”
That doesn’t mean shit. I’ve only done Schedule A a few times, and child, you have watched me do complicated taxes your entire fucking life.
“Yeah, but that’s YOU and TurboTax makes it easy.”
Dafuq AGAIN. TurboTax doesn’t ask you if you a) got a hybrid vehicle,* b) put energy-saving windows in your house, c) won a settlement from a legal action, d) knows what you spent money on and how much and if it’s deductible.
“Those are such infrequent things of course it’s not going to ask you.”
Good gravy, this kid’s mind is a kaleidoscope spinning at 5000 rpm.
We finally got him back to the point that YOUR EXPERIENCE IS NOT UNIVERSAL.
“Okay. MANY people find taxes to be easy.” Yes. “MANY people do not.” Yes.
*Husband won a Toyota Prius from the Audubon Society. I was like, TANSTAAFL. How many times do I have to tell you? I was so dreading that 1099. WHELL. I was bitching about this to one of my readers/fans, who happens to be a tax attorney, but I forgot about that part because she’s my fan. IT’S ABOUT MEEEEE. Anyway, she said, “Oh, you can deduct that whole thing. There’s a tax credit for that this year.” WTF. Voila. No taxes on a $30,000 car.
Cap loss offsets? In PA you can’t offset your losses against gains.
Relevant tweet:

Wut.
That was in 2014.
Well at least the statute has passed.
Mojeaux:
I was surprised to learn that the H&R Block software did ask about energy efficient appliances, windows, and the like. Got an extra deduction the first year we moved in due to that.
My youngest is learning about taxes the hard way (ironic, since she’s studying to be an accountant). The military messed up (shocking!) and suddenly stopped taking taxes out of her husband’s paychecks. He had moved up in rank and gotten a raise, and some of his pay was tax free while in the Middle East, so they didn’t think to review his pay stubs. He’s not getting Anthony Fauci money so it’s probably not going to be a big tax bill, but they have some things to figure out.
They do dumb things like that sometimes.
I had moved out of one base housing unit into a nicer one after I got promoted to Corporal.
6 months or so later, I got an enormous paycheck, the 1st Sgt said it was bigger than our Captain got.
Turns out some genius gave me back pay as if I was living off base those 6 months.
I didn’t get paid for awhile after that but luckily we weren’t idiots and my wife and I budgeted for it.
Congrats on his promotion.
Hopefully his wetdown party wasn’t too traumatic.
I think I had a 4 day hangover after I got my corporal stripes.
The Mexicans aren’t generally making my life worse in the way that Indian tech people are, so there’s that.
But the Indians have the better food.
*sigh* Life is full of shitty ethical dilemmas.
And also ethnical dilemmas.
But the Indians have the better food.
That’s just crazy talk.
Tex Mex would like a word
I agree with slumsy.
At an old job, the crew always wanted to go to a local Indian restaurant. I’m not a picky eater, but I never did find anything there that I liked.
On the other hand, I love Mexican (or at least some Min-Mex version of it).
I don’t dislike the various Indian dishes I’ve had but I’ll take Mexican over Indian 9 times out of 10.
On the previous Mexico-related post,
I didn’t notice any mention of carnitas OR spicy salsa.
Carnitas aren’t a specialty of that part of Mexico. That’s more in Michoacan. Travel there is a bit more risky with actual cartels, but it’s still pretty nice.

Crisis, paranoid delusion…
Atomic scientists on Tuesday set the 2026 “Doomsday Clock” to 85 seconds to midnight, the closest it’s ever been to a theoretical annihilation.
Familiar risks to human existence such as nuclear weapons and climate change were cited by the scientists, along with new technologies like artificial intelligence, which they argued is being used to spread disinformation. This is the third time that the clock has been moved closer to midnight in the past five years.
“Every second counts, and we are running out of time. It is a hard truth, but this is our reality,” President and CEO of Bulletin of the Atomic Scientist Alexandra Bell said.
Your reality is broken, just like you.
It’s difficult to conceptualize just how unimaginably retarded you’d have to be to think that the world is closer to an extinction level event in 2026 than during, say, the Cuban missile crisis. This is coming form the STEM community that I’ve been assured is mostly free of the pseudo-Marxist retardation rampant in the university system, btw.
This is coming form the STEM community that I’ve been assured is mostly free of the pseudo-Marxist retardation rampant in the university system, btw.
So, Pat, I see someone lied to you.
(they just have fewer opportunities to advertise it publicly)
True as far as it goes, but the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientist should be legally required to put scare quotes around ‘Scientist’.
So if Doomsday Midnight shows up and I’m not paying attention I don’t have to worry. I only have to worry if I start paying attention.
Do I have that right?
If an imaginary ICBM falls down in the woods does it make a sound?
85 seconds? Not 84, not 86?
If you needed an example of how people get spun up to the point of trying to bang it out with the feds, well, here it is.
There was a point in the Biden admin that I was actually worried there would be a nuclear exchange with Russia. Something about an angry old man with dementia having his finger on the button.
But for the past year, I haven’t even thought about it.
Is this an admission that Iran does have the Bomb?
The scientists underscored the significance of AI technology and how it’s used to supercharge disinformation. Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Ressa said during the announcement that the world is living through “informational armageddon” thanks to the development of social media and generative AI, neither of which is “anchored in facts.”
“Human beings have been commodified by a predatory and extractive industry,” Ressa said.
Soylent Green is people!
Although the problems the world faces can feel overwhelming, Bell said they are human-made and still solvable.
“There is not a single elegant solution for any of the problems that we are facing, but these problems are solvable,” Bell said. “Every time we’ve been able to turn back the hands of the clock, it’s been because we have scientists and experts working to find solutions, and the public was demanding action.”
We just need a world socialist dictatorship run by wise and benevolent technocrats.
At the risk of sending a cloud across a ray of sunshine, all those stories you are reading about Minnesoda turning the corner on riots because the cops are now arresting rioters are bullshit.
At the risk of making this a “too local” story, Maple Grove is not Minneapolis. I live in this suburb* and it is in no way anything like the city of Mpls (or even the inner ring suburbs).
During the Floyd riots an attempt was made to loot a store and the MG cops showed up and stomped on the looters real hard. Not a peep was heard for the rest of the riots from any potential agitators.
So I’m not surprised that the local cops didn’t take kindly to the Big City rioters showing up to cause trouble. I’m also not surprised that they showed up with help from the State Patrol and DNR (yes game wardens) and Sheriff’s deputies. I think there are a lot of cops out there that are itching for the green light to beat some protester ass. I liked that they all showed up with batons. I think that is a nice middle ground of lethal force.
I’m sort of proud of our local cops. Nice to see that they can do more than hand out DUI’s.
* Tundra used to live here too. But we used some Federal funds that were earmarked for urban beautification to lure him out to CO.
Oh, and I was in that area right around the time they were arresting people and didn’t notice a thing. So maybe it wasn’t a giant Big City riot?
ICE, with a little local help, nabbed a few in Brainerd. Restaurant has a Help Wanted sign in the window.
Fourscore:
ICE nabbed one guy from the local Chinese buffet in my hometown of Detroit Lakes. The Altar Boy says people are confused because the guy wasn’t the Worst of the Worst.
Not sure how it makes sense to galivant around the sticks looking for the odd illegal when the Twin Cities is full of them. Also, show up around the sugar beet fields during harvest time and there will be a lot too.
So, people were Wong about the Wurst?
OT just for you ZWAK.
青木まりこ現象 (The Aoki Mariko Phenomenon)
TW. Vertical video.
I got worried, Jimbo, not seeing anything on the board all morning from you. I figured you were either ice fishing or in jail.
Ice fishing, or ICE fishing?
Pat:
Have you ever tried to clean an ICE agent? No thanks!
I will be out tomorrow though. I’ve been staying inside during the cold snap. It is above 0 again, so the local fish are in trouble.
I’ve been texting Tundra lately. He’s pretty sick about the whole thing. I feel bad for him and for you. How close is all that to the Super Rink?
It was 2 miles from my house. So it is about 20 minutes from the Super Rink physically. It is also on the other side of the Mighty Mississippi from that hotel.
Culturally it is light years away. The Super Rink is in the redneck area. The running joke is whether they wear a NASCAR jacket or a Polaris/Skidoo jacket. I fear any potential rioters would be greeted by the rednecks with shotguns. All of them would be yelling “pull” and they blasting away.
I’m learning a lot about MN. Here we are all rednecks as well, except for the Indy area, and Lake County, which is right next to Chicago and might as well be part of Illinois. That’s where my parents got the Democrat brand seared into their brains.
Here’s where I am on the ICE thing:
When cities follow the normal procedure of letting ICE execute detainers on arrestees/convicts, none of this happens. When they go all hard-care sanctuary, though, it gives ICE a couple of choices:
(1) Let violent illegal criminals roam the streets even though they could remove them from circulation, or
(2) Go after them on the streets.
Even option (2) doesn’t require the paramilitary surge like we are seeing in Minneapolis. That is only brought into play when an organized opposition to enforcement of immigration laws is in place. Now they have another couple of choices:
(1) Let the organized opposition (which, I might point out, has overt state and local government support and is committing innumerable federal crimes) drive them from town, so violent illegal criminals continue to roam the streets, or
(2) Surge enough agents and use the kind of tactics that can override the organized opposition.
Honestly, given the circumstances and the options on offer, I can’t say I would be doing much different if I was in charge. Options (2) above suck. Options (1) above are worse.
The final card to play, of course, is to declare a formal insurrection (which is easily justified under current, and longstanding, law) and put Minneapolis, possibly the whole state, under something like martial law.
Of course, the whole thing ends if Minneapolis lets ICE execute detainers, as it did for decades until very recently.
All this, mind you, because of… deporting illegal immigrants under federal law. A thing which has been happening in more or less the same form since the Immigration Act of 1891. It’s truly remarkable to see how easily individual human beings can descend into absolute and total insanity with just a smidgen of social pressure and political priming.
I keep bringing this up, but just a few short years ago every Dem was against illegal immigration because it lowered wages and undermined unions. All those “fat cat” business owners were paying illegals pennies. It’s a pretty stark reminder of how they no longer give a shit about working class voters.
If you can’t keep the Somalis in fraud and the illegals with the right to vote (we now give driver’s licenses to illegals and anyone getting a DL is automatically registered to vote)* the DFL might start losing statewide races again.
The deal has always been that Somalis and illegals are protected and in return they churn out enough votes to push the DFL over the top in statewide elections. Just taking Mpls out of the last election would have caused Walz to lose.
* Our Sec of State pinky swears that no one ever abuses this.
Helping the working class was, until just a few years ago, a major plank of the D’s offerings. But, as they lost touch with anyone but your average Vassar graduate, that slipped away as those people had more in common with the R’s. Not everything, but enough to move them over the line.
And it is a combination of losing the working class and having the feels for cultural relativity that is pushing this. Add in a soupcon of tru blevrs, and it gets ratcheted to 11.
Happily back from Hamilton County Family Services to sort some stuff, along with a Walmart stop to get paperwork (and supplies). As of now, I am not going to get my 34hrs of PTO cuz my other absences. I explained I used the app to notify folk, always the day in advance. My app doesn’t have any PPTO listed (0.0), but I asked about it and she saw about 45hrs on her screen. I didn’t know how to use PPTO and it never came up cuz I didn’t have any, just put “Scheduled Absence” through online the day before. (It only let me click “Today” or “Tomorrow.”)
She remembers I was in her orientation and she says it was discussed. Truthfully, I told her I don’t remember any of it. It’s the first time either acronym’s been in my life. She’s HR, all of it, at our location. I did tell if there was any confusion on my end, disability could be a cause, and I (fuck it) doubled down, truthfully telling her about my disability and how it (really does) affect my memory.
She gave me Boss-Boss’ email and I’ll send him something and ask about it. Six weeks shy of a full year, I woulda gotten it, regardless. Those 34 hours are $426 before taxes. Hrm. Were I to get that… that’d be 11% of Evan’s total funds. I much prefer having that money. Might as well bring it up to him and see what’s what. I’ve got a strong enough ‘case’ to bring it up, sympathy perhaps plays (doubtful), and for Wal-Mart? It’s a rounding error *on* a rounding error. Doubt I’ll win, but I might as well play.
Teehee! And my interview with the IMPD got scheduled this morning for next Monday at 8am. Groundhog Day. There’s something rather lovely about that.
I can’t speak for a company the size of Walmart, but I can tell you based on my recent middle manager “remember all that useless shit you learned your first year in college?” training that the company I work for would happily cash out all of your accumulated PTO in exchange for you departing without any possible ADA compliance issues. So, work the disability angle.
If we ever had to fire someone we always gave two weeks advance pay in lieu of two weeks notice. Get them out quickly, before they have a chance to do more damage.
I once fired a young woman for theft/money mishandling. She later used us as a reference.
That is a fine choice in music.
“so violent illegal criminals continue to roam the streets”
They keep getting elected/re-elected.
It starts at the lowest level, with NGOs showing up at local levels, offering to “help” with different unnecessary projects.
@Jaime from dedthread: I really dig the pics. I didn’t know Puerto Vallarta and it’s not at all where or what I was expecting. Oddly(?), it looks straight up like Southeast Asia. Not the colors of the houses /shops, and trade churches for temples, and it could be rural, coastal Vietnam or similar. The roads, the wires, the setups.
Damn good adventure. Glad ya enjoyed! Deeper countryside would be wild. I strongly approve.
