That’s all I got for today. I’ll leave you with a song and move along with my day.
“In a live YouTube video recorded by former CNN host Don Lemon, protesters were seen storming into Cities Church in Minneapolis. Protesters were heard chanting, “Hands up, Don’t shoot,” and “ICE out.”
OFFS!!
“The act was written to equally protect abortion clinics, pro-life pregnancy resource centers, and churches,” Breitbart News reported.”
That’s a bit of a stretch.
??? That’s a true statement.
Fine hit them with trespassing, false imprisonment, disturbing the peace. Then go after them in civil court for defamation and slander, even if the pastor was an agent.
Oh, it does include churches.
Yeah, I had no idea. I just assumed it was only abortion clinics because that is the only time it made the news.
That was an ugly scene. They should’ve gone all Jesus vs the money changers on their asses.
“This is what the First Amendment is about, the freedom to protest,” Lemon told viewers. “I’m sure people here don’t like it, but protests are not comfortable.”
Now do January 6th, asshole.
He is known to be an asshole who decides what protests are valid since 2020.
So, time for a new Lemon law, no?
Or covid lockdowns.
This. He is world-historical levels of asshole.
Let’s all go to Don’s house uninvited, force ourselves into his living room, and lecture him on the Constitution. Because that’s protected speech right?
Ya his next backyard BBQ or wine-mixer or whatever he does should see protestors swarm in.
Way worse. J6 at least was protesting the actual governing body that could take action to address their grievances. The church hasn’t been a governing body at any point in this country’s history.
Mustering an army to “obstruct the feds…”
Sounds.limenenough for a big RICO case right there. If only Trump had a real AG.
Bondi is worse than Sessions. Just terrible.
I saw that her nickname in FL was “Pay for Play Pam”.
Has she done anything? Anything at all? I hear she is having conversations about that church incident. I’m sure there will be strongly worded internal memos.
She needs to be fired.
Name one good attorney general in your lifetime. That position seems destined for people who have failed up their entire life.
Agreed.
Here’s the thing: Trump agrees with her actions and her inactions.
The Alaskan troops will need their cold weather gear and training.
-15 here in the woods, a little warmer in the TC , winter is upon on us, too cold for protesting, that’s a warm weather sport.
Good reason to sweep up all the illegals in MN right now.
When I was in Alaska a Minnesota reserve brigade was our round out. They came up once a year to work with us. I guess it’s time for Minnesota to host.
I saw -17 on my way in to work. Throw another log on the fire, Fourscore.
I was up in the Twin Cities over the weekend for my dad’s birthday. Was hovering between 4 & 13 American degrees the whole time I was there. Glad I got out before it got cold.

Now do the AMA.
My thoughts exactly.
Toss in teacher’s unions grip on education while we’re dreaming.
They are just as damaging to the nation.
“Vehicle sales in the U.S. went up by 2.4% despite steep tariffs on imported vehicles as the average new car price hit a record $50,326.”
It’s more safety regulations than tariffs.

“Trump officials push for cheaper cars through regulatory rollbacks during Midwest tour”
I could do with less talking about doing Good Thing X, and more actually doing Good Thing X.
If there was one stand out failure of Trump’s first term it was all talk and little action, and it had seemed he had learned.
I was listening to Tom Woods the other day, and the guest made the point that the president seems to have less sovereignty within the US as compared to outside the us.
Its not an excuse for being feckless domestically, but it would explain some of the behavior.
Its not an excuse for being feckless domestically,
We’ve seen him go to bat for legislation he wants (Big Beautiful Bill) and for legislation he doesn’t want (the Epstein documents bill).
If he’s not going to bat for legislation to make long lasting changes that a future president can’t undo with the stroke of a pen, it’s talk. And talk is cheap.
To be fair, he is much weaker domestically than internationally because there are too many Dems in Congress who reject every single idea in lockstep. And too many Republicans siding with Dems.
This isn’t even talk about legislation. This is talk about regulations, which are entirely within the administration’s control. Don’t tell me you are going to deregulate. Fucking deregulate, already.
Heh, fair enough.
Judges are already lined up to block it all. Sorry you failed to follow the Administrative Procedure Act
CAFE standards are unconstitutional.
Change my mind.
While I think they go too far – pollution doesn’t acknowledge state or national boundaries. If the good people of Indiana want to spew sulfur into the air that’s all well and good until the wind blows the shit into Ohio.
Now, the argument about how much shit is actually coming out of a tailpipe on a modern automobile is an entirely different discussion…
New York City lost nearly 5,000 businesses last year
The more meaningful part was the slowdown in the opening of new businesses, hard to say that the closures were more than the normal churn.
And it’s not just NYC – I see it upstate too.
My liquor store closed a few months ago – guessing it just was too expensive to operate. The space has been empty since then. And the main street is littered with empty storefronts – shops are definitely closing faster than new ones opening. The mall is on its last legs of course – a lot of the stores moved across town to strip plazas but a lot of others will never come back. There are constant battles against new business such as a potential data center here or a chip manufacturer nearby, and massive red-tape blocking housing construction too.
I’m seeing that in my home town too. The Mrs. read me a litany of local businesses that are closing. I’m not sure what’s going on. Our personal and business finances are both heading in the right direction.
@rhywun
Perfect opportunity for you to open a vape shop.
I wonder how much of that is due to a generation that sees small business ownership as something to strive for, vs. a younger gen that doesn’t want the responsibility.
Also, immigrants were, traditionally, one of the largest small business starting groups, and if we cut back on that…
Vaping and dope are among the few growing businesses around here.
Starting a business is such a PITA, even in the nicest of situations, that it’s highly appealing to just be a wage slave.
What I’ve found is that there’s no room for self funded entrepreneurship. You hit a cap where you need an accountant and a tax attorney, and that cap is well before the point when you can afford an accountant and a tax attorney. Either you grow fast, or the bean counters eat all your profits.
I feel you trashy.
I can’t afford an accountant or a book keeper and I need a third guy but that third guy would be part time and it wouldn’t be worth it for him since he has to have a CDL.
If I had 50% more work I could hire a full time third guy but then I would need a mechanic and would absolutely need a book keeper a couple days a week. Both would make my take home lower and complexity higher.
Don Lemon 2020
“CNN’s Don Lemon criticizes anti-lockdown protestors for disrespecting essential workers who are “keeping your city going” and “keeping your loved ones alive” during the Covid-19 pandemic…“Who the hell do you think you are? What is wrong with people?” he asked, then attacked the biggest hypocrisy of all: a number of the demonstrators in various cities were armed.”
Don Lemon 2026
Storm the churches and protest! Arm yourself! This is what protesting is!
Apparently making people uncomfortable is only good when it’s not him.
You mean the left is entirely unprincipled and will make whatever argument helps their interests in the moment? Shock of shocks!
“A new acronym for liberal white women is gaining traction online, and the New York Times does not appear to be happy about it.
The paper published a lengthy piece Friday about the acronym AWFUL, which stands for Affluent White Female Urban Liberal. Conservative commentators have used the term to describe liberal women protesting immigration enforcement in Minneapolis following the fatal shooting of activist Renee Good by an ICE agent on January 7.”
https://dailycaller.com/2026/01/18/new-york-times-awful-liberal-white-women-ice/
I remember hearing it years ago.
“Good had joined ICE Watch, a network of activists who track and disrupt immigration enforcement, the Daily Signal reported. The group promotes “de-arrest” tactics that instruct activists to physically free people from law enforcement custody. Training materials describe each de-arrest as a “micro-intifada.”
So ICE are zionist nazis?
Nazis for sure. That’s good enough for commie agitprop.
They wear uniforms and carry guns. Case closed.
The U is new to me, if only because it’s primarily suburban thing
Considering the article SHOULD be 10 years old. It’s no surprise they get some details wrong
NYT piece is the first time I saw the “U” version. I think they made that up and Trashy is right about the suburban thing which only makes the NYT more hysterical and inaccurate. Perhaps they wanted to include the dogwhistle “urban” to taint the users of the term with racism.
Perhaps they wanted to include the dogwhistle “urban” to taint the users of the term with racism
I think it’s a dogwhistle for lesbianism. The obnoxious soccer moms are in the suburbs, the brownshirt lesbians are urban.
I think they added the “U” just so they could say it was new.
I’ve never seen it before (or anywhere other than the article, that I recall).
Just another stone in the bucket of “you don’t hate the media enough”.
Yeah, the U is unnecessary. The phenomenon is everywhere. The crucial identifiers are in the other letters of the acronym.
Just wait till you see what they’re working on next. It’s an expose of girls who drink out of thermoses and say “And I oppsy-daisy”.
Even Malice a year or more ago when given credit for it said he got it from someone else.

Everywhere has rats.
You also probably have chipmunks, groundhogs, and shrews.

Evan, you make me optimistic that this country isn’t yet lost.
We get pack rats which are destructive, the occasional skunk which eats the cats food and leaves mounds of crap in the machine shed part of my shop, deer which killed two of my trees and almost a third. And the occasional raccoon which creek the cats out and eat their food. At least the skunks eat the voles.

“I don’t want the government to dictate the kind of cars we build,” Duffy said on Friday. “I want the freedom of innovation, and I want consumer demands to drive the kinds of cars that are produced.

“A Minneapolis protester allegedly stole a pricey camera from conservative provocateur Nick Sortor — who chased down the suspected thief and was dragged by her car as it swerved onto the sidewalk, according to shocking video.
In a post shared on X, Sortor said the woman was part of a group that followed him and his crew around the Twin Cities all day — until one of them boldly snatched his camera out of his hand while he was driving down the street….
By the time the person filming follows after Sortor, the suspect is driving off — with the right-winger clinging to the driver’s door handle.
In his post, Sortor claimed his “hand got trapped in their door handle” and he was “dragged down the street.””
https://nypost.com/2026/01/18/us-news/conservative-influencer-nick-sortor-robbed-dragged-by-car-in-minneapolis-video/
So anything is considered “protesting” now.
A provocateur so he deserved it. Trump really is TACO, just a straight up pussy, for allowing it to get to this point. He sucks.
Cógelos por el taco!
Most of these crimes aren’t federal though.
Insurrection Act, send in the troops. If the state refuses to clean it up it’s the fed’s responsibility. He won’t though because he’s a wimp more concerned with optics than anything else.
From the article:
The FBI Rapid Response reposted Sortor’s X post with the caption, “We’re on it.”
Why do I expect nothing else will happen?
Sure they’re on it, sure they are, and what about all of the others who are getting harassed and fucked up.
On what, a coffee break?
Even if arrested, the lunatic leftist won’t be prosecuted. But if someone fights back against the left, the prosecutor will through the book at them. It’s a no-win situation.
is there such a thing as progressive provocateur ?
Sure but they’re described with the gentler “activist.”
Florida Joins Texas In Ending American Bar Association’s ‘Gatekeeper’ Grip On Law Schools
How about ending all the gatekeepers? You must have a law degree, no matter the school, and you get three attempts to pass the bar. After you use those three up, you’re either a lawyer or you never will be in this state.
Oh, and multiply the cost of taking the bar for each try. First try reasonable, second try expensive, third try astronomical.
but what if some groups disproportionately fail the bar exam? what then? how is this equitable?
“Vile influencers led by Nick Fuentes and Andrew Tate were filmed gleefully rocking out to Kanye West’s disgusting Nazi anthem “Heil Hitler” as some even threw Sieg Heil salutes.
The group of inflammatory influencers blasted the banned Ye song while on a party bus heading to a nightclub in Miami — where they then got the DJ there to play the song again inside.
Fuentes, Tate and his brother, Tristan, Clavicular, Sneako, Justin Waller and Myron Gaines bopped to the song en route to the popular club Vendôme.”

This combination of a white nationalist, a Muslim manosphere influencer, a narcissistic looksmaxxer, and a hyper-individualist alpha guru chanting Ye’s “Heil Hitler” without hierarchy, deterritorialized and commodified into a spectacle, perfectly exemplifies how capitalism axiomatizes any apparent threat into its logic of excess consumerism and flows of desire.

Very gay.
“Mamdani chief equity officer disparaged liberal white women in now-deleted X posts: ‘Tax them to the white meat’
Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s new chief equity officer disparaged liberal white women in numerous posts on an X account deleted shortly before her appointment — and just as another aide landed in hot water for her radical screeds, The Post has learned.
The city’s new equity officer, Afua Atta-Mensah, liberally sprinkled the phrase “comrade” throughout her posts and retweeted statements such as, “there’s NO moderate way to black liberation.””

“The situation can feel hopeless, especially in the face of events like the recent killing of Renee Nicole Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Minneapolis. A woman is dead because of Trump’s racist obsessions; children have lost their mother. But all his voters seem capable of doing is protecting their own egos by telling lies to justify the indefensible. Most them will go to their graves with this sin on their consciences, protesting until the end that they were good people even as they defended kidnapping, murder and fascism.”

“Many of the American refugees, like Jane-Michelle Arc, a 47-year-old software engineer from San Francisco, are transgender. In April last year she flew into Schiphol airport in Amsterdam and, sobbing, asked a customs officer how to claim asylum. “And they laughed because: what’s this big dumb American doing here asking about asylum? And then they realised I was serious.”
Arc said the US had become such a hostile environment for trans people that she had stopped leaving the house “unless there was an Uber waiting outside”. She said she had been abused on the street and using the ladies’ toilets, and resolved to leave the country after a frightening incident when she feared a woman was going to run her over with her truck.”

“They all feared the police as well as their governments and fellow citizens, she said. “We were in danger from the people around us. And in fact, all of us thought of America as a place we wanted to live in – a beautiful country of opportunities. And that’s all still true, but it was surprising and sad and validating that the people there – a trans dude from Tehran and a trans woman from Libya – our stories were so similar.””
doubt
I’m sure the American transes have lost count of the number of buildings themses have been thrown off of.
I have no doubt that they actually do fear Trumpf and the republicans and the US Govt. It’s completely unfounded, but these people are by definition mentally ill.
It’s no different than Hollywood actors moving overseas fearing reprisal. Like if the President truly wanted them imprisoned or dead, they would be fucking in prison or dead. He got fucking Maduro and that guy had and army and was on another continent.
“So far, no American has been successful since arriving during Trump’s second term. Among those refused and earmarked for deportation is Lisa Gayle Carter-Stewart, who fled Montana with her transgender teenager, 14-year-old Nox, last April.
“It was automatically rejected because America is considered a safe country of origin,” said Carter-Stewart. “Nox even told the IND during their interview when they asked, what will you do if you have to return to America? Nox told them: ‘I will kill myself.’ None of that was considered in their decision-making process.”
Nox has tried to take their own life three times at Ter Apel, said Carter-Stewart. “They are not getting on well. Nox stays in our room 24-7. They don’t go outside, not even on sunny days.” Still, she insists, Nox doesn’t want to go home: “Nox has said they’re glad we’re not in the US any more.”
Straight up child-abuse.
“None of that was considered in their decision-making process.”
I would disagree. I’m sure they took all of that into consideration in keeping crazy people out of their country.
Shouldn’t there be endless MSM articles on this about evil countries not just opening their doors and lands to anyone and everyone? How dare they enforce their immigration laws!

Yeah, such a big part of it. When Trump won in 2024, some of my colleagues solemnly informed us that many of their students were “really worried” that ICE would be busting into classrooms and seizing “foreigners.”
I’m sitting there biting my tongue thinking, yep, they’re “really worried” because people who think like you have spent the last 8 years terrifying them.
To be fair, in parts of San Francisco, you shouldn’t leave the house except to run to an Uber and you’ll be abused on the street and while using the bathroom. Given California’s lax CDL requirements you should also be afraid of truck drivers running you over. None of that applies only to transgenders, though.
None of that has anything to do with gender identity or federal agents.

Regional diplomats held an emergency meeting in Brussels on Sunday afternoon to discuss their response to Trump’s threat to escalate tariffs, with France reportedly pushing for the EU to use its strongest economic counter-threat to the U.S., known as the “Anti-Coercion Instrument” (ACI).
The much-vaunted instrument is seen as a nuclear option when it comes to economic counter-measures as it could see the EU restrict U.S. suppliers’ access to the EU market, excluding them from participation in public tenders in the bloc, as well as putting export and import restrictions on goods and services and putting potential limits on foreign direct investment in the region.

“Minnesota state Sen. Omar Fateh declared that Minneapolis’ Somali-populated Cedar Riverside neighborhood would be a “no-go zone for white supremacists,” a phrase that holds a long and controversial history in Europe, amid rising tensions over immigration enforcement and political protests in the Twin Cities.
The comments were made in a series of posts on X showing Fateh standing in front of the Cedar Riverside towers alongside two other men. “Cedar Strong. White Supremacists aren’t welcome here. We protect our own,” the post read. When pressed by journalist David Marcus, who wrote that Americans do not allow “no-go zones,” Fateh doubled down, replying, “This is a No-Go zone for white supremacists.”

“That said, I think this is different from the usual TACO [Trump Always Chickens Out] trade. For Greenland, the position for Europe is very clear: it’s not for sale, and they will not tolerate aggression … But what Trump has shown is that he wants Greenland. I don’t see how the issue is going to go away that soon. So we are looking at months, or potentially quarters, of uncertainty over tariffs.”
“For Europe it’s a negative. Growth will be reduced,” he warned, ahead of what could be a frantic market day for European bourses on Monday, with regional indexes looking set to slump at the open.
I would like to pretend this Greenland thing is a negotiating tactic. Trump asks for something outlandish, and eventually settles for what he really wanted in the first place. But I am unable to conceive of what the real target might be.
Maybe it really is the fracturing of NATO and the EU. All things considered…
