Blurb:

Minneapolis is once again at the center of a storm over law enforcement use of force after a fatal shooting by an ICE agent last week.

Radical Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has shifted her stance on the incident involving the death of 37-year-old Minneapolis resident Renee Nicole Good.

Good was killed by ICE agent Jonathan “Jon” Ross during a protest against the planned detention of Somali migrants.

The anti-ICE activist used her SUV to block federal immigration operations before using her vehicle to ram an agent, forcing him to open fire in self-defense.

Medicaid Paid Out $400M To Dead ‘Recipients’ In One Year– thefederalist.com

The ongoing scandal regarding Minnesota’s welfare-industrial complex demonstrates the extent to which government-created graft has “hidden” in front of the nation’s noses for not just years but decades. Another report released just before Christmas illustrates the depths of those fraudulent payments.

Last summer, I wrote here about a report by Louisiana’s legislative auditor highlighting nearly $10 million in Medicaid payments that state made on behalf of deceased beneficiaries between February 2019 and last March. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the most recent report shows that this type of government waste and abuse — or, depending on one’s perspective, fraud by insurance companies, who receive payments for “covering” dead people — occurs with regularity nationwide.

Here’s the Anti-Trump FBI Agent Who Launched the Surveillance Probe of the Entire Conservative Movement– townhall.com

Of course, it was an anti-Trump FBI agent. If the Russian collusion hoax, Crossfire Hurricane, and, on a lesser note, the creepy visits to those who posted anti-Biden memes weren’t evidence enough, that’s how the Arctic Frost probe began. It was an agent on a reported vendetta that spurred a mass surveillance operation that eventually covered the entire conservative movement.

The late Charlie Kirk and his Turning Point USA were targeted, along with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). It was a fishing expedition with no smoking gun. The basis of the investigation stemmed from the shenanigans from the 2020 election. Oh, and did I forget to mention that Trump’s phone was seized during this operation (via JustTheNews):

An FBI supervisor who openly opposed Donald Trump on social media played a crucial role in igniting the controversial Arctic Frost probe, pressing to add the former president as a formal subject of the investigation and circulating articles from liberal activists and leftwing news sources to make his case, according to evidence recently turned over to Congress and obtained by Just the News.

Special Agent Timothy Thibault, who left his role as the assistant agent in charge of its Washington field office in August 2022 after his anti-Trump social posts became public, organized the initial electronic communication that authorized the start of the Arctic Frost probe.

“The bill recklessly endangers the lives of members of our law enforcement community and their family members.”

A proposal by Washington state Democrats to ban most law enforcement officers from wearing face-concealing masks during public operations is drawing sharp criticism from federal officials, who warn the measure could endanger officers at a time when violence and threats against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are rising dramatically nationwide.

If enacted, Senate Bill 5855 would prohibit local, state, and federal law enforcement officers, including ICE agents, from wearing masks that obscure their identities during public interactions, with limited exceptions for undercover assignments and certain tactical operations. The bill received its first hearing on Tuesday before the Washington Senate Law & Justice Committee.

There’s a deeper, darker truth lurking beneath the Somali-dominated, multi-billion-dollar Minnesota welfare fraud schemes that have commanded the attention of federal authorities and stoked nationwide outrage.

And it may explain in part why for weeks, Democrats and regime media have been gaslighting the country, casting critics as bigots, and shooting the messengers who sent the long-neglected story viral — and why, now, state and local leaders are trying to turn Minneapolis into a powder keg.

These dodges and diversions distract from the fact that the fraud is a feature of what we might call The Blue Model of government. Fueled by the welfare state and increasingly open borders, it is at core about political patronage, profiteering, and plunder. Democrats’ survival depends upon a political-business model of vote-buying via legal and illicit wealth redistribution. Suppressing the Minnesota story is critical.

Federal agents forcibly removed a woman from her car Tuesday after she allegedly blocked an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis, just days after another standoff ended with the fatal shooting of a mother of three who drove her vehicle at an ICE agent.

Video from the scene shows the unidentified driver stopping her black sedan across multiple lanes of traffic as anti-ICE agitators flooded the street, effectively trapping federal vehicles in place. Agents moved in to clear the roadway while protesters screamed and blew whistles in an effort to disrupt the operation.

One officer reached into the car and appeared to unlock the door before another agent opened it and pulled the woman out. Officers had already smashed the passenger-side window as bystanders shouted, “Go, go, go, go.”

The Danish government has reportedly deployed military “reinforcements” to Greenland ahead of a high-stakes White House meeting to discuss the future of the territory on Wednesday.

According to a report from public broadcaster Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR), the Kingdom of Denmark is sending military equipment and advance troops to Greenland in preparation for a larger deployment of Danish forces to the island.

However, the broadcaster questioned how large a deployment Copenhagen will be able to manage in Greenland, given that many of its forces, particularly soldiers in the Danish Army, have already been committed to other theatres, such as in the Baltic. No hard numbers have been placed on the redeployment yet.

Iran’s violent crackdown on protesters has reignited a long-running debate within the European Union over designating the Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) — widely seen as a key force behind the repression — as a terrorist organisation.

Placing the most powerful branch of Iran’s armed forces on the EU’s terrorist list would put the IRGC alongside groups such as Daesh, al-Qaeda, Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

A terrorist group designation would subject its members to travel bans, asset freezes and “a prohibition on making funds or economic resources available to those listed”, according to rules established by the European Council.

Two suspects shot for “weaponizing” their vehicle against a Portland-based Border Patrol agent are affiliates of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

The revelation came late Thursday after news emerged of a shooting involving U.S. immigration officials in Portland, Oregon. Initial reporting indicated that two individuals were shot in the incident.

When details of the case finally emerged, it clearly was not what Democrats — who had already rushed to falsely blame the immigration officials — were expecting.

According to DHS, Border Patrol officials were conducting a “targeted vehicle stop” in Portland. The agency said that upon identifying themselves to the driver and passenger, “the driver weaponized his vehicle and attempted to run over the law enforcement agents.”

In yet another incident of a Hindu man being killed in Bangladesh, a 45-year-old factory owner, who was also the acting editor of a newspaper, has been shot in the head by a group of men, who also slit his throat.

Local sources alleged Rana Pratap had multiple cases filed against him.

Pratap’s killing comes close on the heels of the rape of a Hindu widow and the murders of at least three Hindu men in the country since December, prompting condemnation of the Muhammad Yunus-led interim government’s handling of violence against minorities.

Officials said Pratap was killed in the Kopalia Bazar area of Manirampur sub-district in Jashore in southwestern Bangladesh around 6 pm on Monday.

Widening demonstrations sparked by Iran’s ailing economy spread Thursday into the Islamic Republic’s rural provinces, with at least six people being killed in the first fatalities reported among security forces and protesters, authorities said.

The deaths may mark the start of a heavier-handed response by Iran’s theocracy over the demonstrations, which have slowed in the capital, Tehran, but expanded elsewhere. The fatalities, one on Wednesday and five on Thursday, occurred in three cities predominantly home to Iran’s Lur ethnic group.

The protests have become the biggest in Iran since 2022, when the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in police custody triggered nationwide demonstrations. However, the demonstrations have yet to be countrywide and have not been as intense as those surrounding the death of Amini, who was detained over not wearing her hijab, or headscarf, to the liking of authorities.

BERLIN, Germany (LifeSiteNews) — A left-wing extremist group has claimed responsibility for an attack on the power grid that caused a massive blackout in Berlin.

On Saturday morning, around 45,000 homes and 90,000 people in southwest Berlin were without electricity after perpetrators set a fire on a power line supplying a gas power plant in the Lichterfelde district.

During the cold and snowy weather in Berlin, many households were without power and heating for days. According to BILD, the 97-year-old Ingeborg Esser was among those who had to sleep in a heated gym because her apartment was too cold.

In a letter published online on Sunday, the left-wing extremist “Vulkangruppe” (Volcano group) confessed to carrying out the attack in the name of saving the climate.

Zohran Mamdani’s reign has begun, and that means promoting his socialist wants.

It also means trashing the idea of private property ownership, something he recently did when he visited a dilapidated, rent-controlled apartment building.

To be sure, that building was disgusting. I certainly wouldn’t want to live there, but there are consequences to placing price controls and mountains of regulations on landlords. Namely, it drains margins and makes it prohibitive to spend money on upkeep. There are also broader consequences when left-wing governance produces a city that is grossly unaffordable to live in, leaving the poorest with no choice but to reside in such abhorrent conditions, and property owners unable to provide anything better without going bankrupt.

Mamdani’s point was simple: Private landlords are evil and government-backed “affordable” housing is the way to go.

It’s been open season on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol officers for months in the Chicago area. The local cops have refused to stop rioters from attacking federal immigration officers and infamously failed to come to their aid when they were surrounded by rioters in an ambush. That hands-off policy by local cops last fall resulted in federal cops having to shoot their way out of an ambush as rioters surrounded and blocked their vehicles. A woman who used her car as a weapon was shot five times and survived.

The Minneapolis “poet” who had been bird-dogging and blocking ICE agents all day last Wednesday and rammed her 4,000-pound vehicle into an ICE officer was shot and killed for her efforts.

Student group demands ‘racism’ inquiry following resignation of univ. DEI chief

A branch of the Canadian Federation of Students is demanding an investigation into “racism” regarding the departure of Memorial University‘s diversity, equity, and inclusion chief.

Delores Mullings has been Memorial’s “inaugural vice-provost of EDI-AR” since 2021 (Canadians use “EDI” instead of “DEI”; “AR” stands for “anti-racism”). According to The Hamilton Spectator, Mullings complained of “a lack of understanding among senior administration about what equity, diversity, inclusion and anti-racism mean” and how they “should interact” with the EDI-AR office.

Mullings said her job left her “feeling lonely,” adding that “while I’m the one in the role, it doesn’t mean that I’m the only one that needs to be talking about equity issues.”

She also bemoaned that Memorial’s new president, who took office last August, “not once reached out to [her] to arrange a meeting.”
