The Democrat Left wants Americans to believe that excessively armed ICE agents in Minneapolis and elsewhere are kidnapping law-abiding immigrants en route to church or heading home from work.

New Jersey congressional candidate Analilia Mejia moaned that “grandmothers and gardeners are being targeted by federal enforcement agencies with no accountability.”

Attorney General Keith Ellison, D-Minn., called the people his ilk are shielding, “the most vulnerable neighbors in our community.”

While the Canadians have reportedly been weighing whether or not to send additional troops to aid in the “defense” of Greenland, they just got wrecked by the U.S. in their national pass time.

This is precisely the chaos the Democrats want—a nation pushed toward internal conflict, civil war. Those maniacs would relish nothing more than declaring, ‘The orange man drove the country into civil war!’”

One could argue that reacting plays into their hands. But surrender is not an option. Refusing to defend our country and our way of life is not prudence; it is abdication. Forfeit is not a strategy—it is a fait accompli. And history shows that what is not defended is eventually lost.

The conditions that would merit such an action continue to exist. Indeed, the protestors have become increasingly violent.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney suggested on a recent trip that it is easier for his nation to deal with Communist China than to deal with U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration.

Carney made the comments this past Friday to reporters while in China, where he was in talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing after being asked to share his thoughts on the relationship between Washington and China.

He responded, “With the U.S., our relationship, this is no insight, is much more multifaceted, much deeper, much broader, than it is with China.”

Nearly half of all abortions in Pennsylvania are repeat abortions, according to figures obtained from the Pennsylvania Department of Health.

The statistics from 2024, the latest year for which stats are available, indicate 49.2 percent of women obtaining abortions have already had one or more abortions.

Tragically, some 2,322 women had had four or more previous abortions.

While President Trump overzealously obsesses about acquiring Greenland and other foreign policy ventures, AI, and swapping RINO Sen. Bill Cassidy with a RINO House member, a major American state is continuing its rapid descent into Third World despotism.

By now, most Americans have seen the viral incident of anti-ICE agitators — which included media hack Don Lemonstorming a church in St. Paul, Minnesota, over the weekend in apparent violation of federal law. While Lemon harassed the church’s pastor about why he wasn’t OK with demented leftists infringing upon his congregation’s worship service, the group’s other members screeched in the faces of attending families (including minors).

On Monday’s edition of The View, to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day, actress Pam Grier was teed up by co-host Sunny Hostin to recall the racism she experienced while growing up in Columbus, Ohio in the 1950s. According to her, her mom would often have to get her and her siblings to avert their eyes lest they see a body hanging from a tree. But according to the Ohio Lynching Victims Memorial, the last lynching was in 1911. Other details about the story were questionable as well.

Fresh from defending discrimination against white people earlier in the show, Hostin teed up Grier to share her experiences with racism, specifically during her time in Columbus, Ohio:

But let me ask you this: because you’ve been the first so many times, but you were the first black woman on the cover of Ms. magazine in 1975. You paved the way for black female representation in the stunt industry as well. But before breaking all of those barriers in Hollywood and other places, you faced a lot of racism growing up in Columbus, Ohio. How did that shape you?

Democratic Virginia state Sen. L. Louise Lucas ripped into fellow party Sens. Tim Kaine and Mark Warner over redistricting in the commonwealth, declaring Saturday she didn’t need advice from “a cuck chair in the corner.”

With the 2026 midterm elections approaching, redistricting plans have surfaced in both Republican-led and Democrat-led state legislatures as a strategy to achieve a majority in the U.S. House of Representatives. Virginia Senate Democrats on Friday approved a state constitutional amendment allowing the General Assembly to redraw the state’s congressional districts mid-decade. Touting the win online, Lucas first posted a picture of a McDonald’s worker asking, “Would you like fries with that?” on the news of the approved amendment.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey doubled down on his civil war-like rhetoric against the Trump Administration by declaring the surge of federal immigration agents in the city as an “occupying force.”

“We are doing the work to keep people safe in our city, and specifically, it is our local police officers. It is the state of Minnesota and our governor. We are doing everything possible to keep the peace, notwithstanding this occupying force that has quite literally invaded our city,” Frey told CBS News’ Margaret Brennan on Sunday morning.

Who would want to risk his life for a cause if he is still going to be an indelible racist even after giving up his life for that cause?

It could be the premise of a Monty Python sketch or a Mel Brooks movie, but it’s a question every leftist insurrectionist in Minneapolis, etc. should ask themselves.

As others have noted, the left wanted Renee Good’s death to be the second coming of George Floyd. But there were problems. There was the footage of the incident, especially from the ICE agent’s bodycam, that clearly showed him being struck by Good’s 4,000-pound Honda. There was Elon Musk’s ownership of X, which allowed actual facts to stand against leftist lies like Good was just dropping off her kids at school. And there’s the problem that Good was white.

“Affordability” was the word of the year in Virginia politics in 2025.

“Affordability takes center stage in New Jersey, Virginia governor races,” ABC News‘ Benjamin Siegel wrote on November 2, 2025.

“Spanberger turns Virginia governor’s race into a test of Trump’s economy,” Politico’s Erin Doherty and Brakkton Booker wrote on October 29, 2025. “Spangberger has stuck to a message on the economy, specifically the cost of life for Virginians.”

“It’s not about inflation or the economy — the election instead delivered a ‘wake-up call’ on affordability politics, top pollster says,” Fortune’s Jason Ma wrote on November 8, 2025.

We reported how an ICE agent was attacked earlier in the week, federal vehicles were destroyed and damaged, and people even stole weapons out of the vehicles.

Warning for graphic language in the following tweets: 

All this isn’t just falling on ICE. As we reported, Border Patrol Commander-at-Large Gregory Bovino said civilian vehicles were getting assaulted as well.

President Donald Trump on Saturday announced new tariffs on goods from eight European countries as part of an effort to secure U.S. acquisition of Greenland, which is currently a territory of Denmark.

Greenland, the world’s largest island, is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. It holds strategic importance due to its Arctic location, natural resources, and role in missile defense systems.

The U.S. has maintained a military presence there since World War II, including at Thule Air Base. Trump’s interest in acquiring Greenland dates back to 2019, but the issue resurfaced in early 2025 with initial threats of tariffs if Denmark did not relinquish control.

REUTERS—The U.S. Justice Department is investigating Minnesota officials including Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey over an alleged conspiracy to impede immigration agents, a source familiar with the probe said on Friday.

The investigation, first reported by CBS News, stems from previous statements made by Walz and Frey about the thousands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and Border Patrol agents deployed to the Minneapolis region in recent weeks.

Walz, reacting on social media to news of the investigation, said the justice system was being weaponized.

“Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic,” he said.

With riots over an ICE enforcement still roiling Minnesota, Democrat protesters stormed a church service in St. Paul, accusing its pastor of supporting for immigration authorities.

Some Republican senators are increasingly voicing opposition to President Trump’s remarks suggesting the United States could take control of Greenland by force, as a bipartisan group of lawmakers prepares to visit Denmark to reassure its leaders that Congress would not support any military action targeting the territory.

As the Hill reported, Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Thom Tillis (R-NC) are among several U.S. lawmakers scheduled to travel to Copenhagen on Friday, alongside Democratic colleagues Sens. Chris Coons (D-DE), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), and Dick Durbin (D-IL), as well as Reps. Gregory Meeks (D-NY), Madeleine Dean (D-PA), and Sara Jacobs (D-CA). 

Tillis emphasized that he will remind Danish officials that Congress is a coequal branch of government, and said he believes “there [is a] sufficient number of members, whether they speak up or not, that are concerned with this.” Speaking about any use of military force to take Greenland, he stated, “The actual execution of anything that would involve a taking of a sovereign territory that is part of a sovereign nation, I think would be met with pretty substantial opposition in Congress.”

Protesters harassed a man driving a rental SUV after appearing to mistake him for an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer, a video that went viral on X Thursday shows.

The video, which was originally posted to TikTok, shows the man opening the trunk of a white Chevy Suburban as a woman inspects its contents. Another woman noted that the man, who later in the video said that he worked for a media outlet, “has a lot of camera equipment” before accusing him of being an ICE agent.

The U.S. military has seized another fugitive oil tanker linked to Venezuela in the Caribbean, marking the sixth vessel captured as the Trump administration intensifies its campaign against illicit oil trafficking.

U.S. Southern Command announced Thursday that American forces intercepted the Motor/Tanker Veronica during a pre-dawn operation carried out by Marines and sailors from Joint Task Force Southern Spear.

“In another pre-dawn action, Marines and Sailors from Joint Task Force Southern Spear, in support of the Department of Homeland Security, launched from USS Gerald R. Ford and apprehended Motor/Tanker Veronica without incident,” the command said in a statement.

Not so long ago, Sweden used to be leftists’ favorite example of effective government: It had a generous welfare system, boasted a highly educated population, and just seemed a little classier and cleaner than most parts of the United States. True, it then had a small, homogenous population of law-abiding, productive citizens, but most admirers conveniently ignored this key detail.

In more recent years, far fewer people mention Sweden. If anyone mentions the country, it is usually to cite their soaring crime rates and terrorist attacks and the obvious connection with Sweden’s large number of unassimilated migrants from the Third World. Not only does this situation now threaten the livelihood for native Swedes, but also their reputable public entitlement system.

Larry Krasner, the radical District Attorney of Philadelphia, threatened Wednesday to prosecute and jail any federal immigration officer accused of harming the city’s residents.

Krasner and a number of Democrat elected officials and community leaders gathered at Salt and Light Church in Philadelphia to discuss strategies to combat ICE activity in the city and in its court system.

Framing the issue as a battle of “good versus evil,” Krasner sent the following message to federal immigration enforcement: “We will arrest you. We will handcuff you. We will close those cuffs. We will put you in a cell. We will set your bail and I’m going to ask for it to be appropriately high.”

Philadelphia’s newly infamous Sheriff Rochelle Bilal echoed Krasner’s message, promising to bring “smoke” to ICE agents if they think they can come to Philadelphia and enforce immigration law without the Sanctuary City’s permission.

Harmeet Dhillon, the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Justice, said Monday that “the fullest force of the federal government is going to come down” on the anti-ICE agitators—including former CNN host Don Lemon—who stormed a Minneapolis church and harassed Sunday worshippers.

The agitators, led by local Black Lives Matter activist Nekima Armstrong, entered Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, chanting long discredited BLM slogans like ‘hands up, don’t shoot’, and attempting to shame churchgoers over their pastor’s alleged position as the acting ICE field office director.

Iran is drowning in blood, yet the people refuse to break. As streets are reportedly lined with bodies and the slaughter intensifies, Iranians continue to meet live machine fire with open defiance. According to reports, the Kurdistan National Army has captured the Revolutionary Guards’ headquarters in Kermanshah—an extraordinary blow to the regime’s security apparatus. At the same time, the country’s financial system is cracking: five Iranian banks are said to be on the brink of collapse, including Bank Sepah, one of Iran’s three largest banks and the primary financial artery of the IRGC and the Iranian military, according to The Wall Street Journal. The regime is bleeding—militarily, economically, and morally—and yet the Iranian people continue to rise, signaling that this is no longer merely unrest, but a full-scale collapse unfolding in real time.

Lang was assaulted during a staged protest in which he was planning on burning the Quran.

Jake Lang, an anti-Islam activist, was attacked in Minneapolis and assaulted by left-wing agitators on Saturday. Lang, who was also pardoned from his criminal activities on January 6, was in Minnesota for his “March Against Fraud” event and was met with violent pushback.

Photos and videos showed blood on Lang after he was dragged from a ledge and then beaten by a mob of left-wing agitators in Minneapolis. Lang then attempted to get away from the scene in a red sedan. Video posted to X showed the left-wing protesters trying to attack him as he entered the car.

It’s what happens when you cater to woke nonsense and an authoritarian ethos grounded in political correctness: you end up defending pure nonsense. She’s a doctor; she knows what’s medically true. A biological fact is that there are only two genders, and only females can get pregnant. Not men. Trans women are men. They’re dudes. Stop pretending otherwise, but alas, here we are, and what makes this exchange between Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Dr. Nisha Verma yesterday even funnier is that the segue really wasn’t about that per se. It was a Senate hearing on abortion care.

A federal appeals court on Thursday cleared the way for the Trump administration to again detain and move toward deporting Mahmoud Khalil, the former Columbia University graduate student who became a face of pro-Palestinian campus protests.

A three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia overturned a lower court order that had sprung Khalil from immigration custody, ruling that the New Jersey federal judge who ordered his release never had authority to hear the case.

In a 2-1 decision, the panel said Khalil’s legal team used the wrong court when they filed a habeas petition to challenge his detention.

Federal agents probing a Somali immigrant cash-courier operation that funneled massive sums through Minneapolis have uncovered a new stop along the route: Columbus, Ohio.

Homeland Security Department officials told Just the News that Transportation Security Administration officers have tracked and flagged about $136 million in bulk cash packed into outbound luggage at passenger checkpoints at John Glenn Columbus International Airport since November 2023.

Officials said the cash was carried by U.S. citizens of Somali origin flying out of Columbus en route to Minneapolis or Atlanta. The couriers declared the money as required on federal forms.

A simple, but deeply unfair and manipulative, narrative about ICE’s enforcement of immigration law congealed as soon as Trump took office: ICE enforcement amounts to egregious military-style raids in otherwise peaceful communities, and as such, ICE is responsible for any unfortunate violence that accompanies their enforcement activities.

Obviously, that narrative has gone into overdrive since the unfortunate killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis last week. Facts don’t really matter here; anti-ICE hysterics are impervious to the fact that Good and her partner were specifically engaged in illegal activity. One can argue law enforcement should have behaved differently, but you cannot say Renee Good was an innocent bystander — she put herself in harm’s way. You can’t impede federal officers enforcing the law, let alone suddenly lurch toward them in a two-ton vehicle.

Investigative journalist Nick Shirley blew up the internet the day after Christmas with a video that pulled the curtain back on massive Somali childcare fraud in Minnesota. In a single day, Shirley laid out evidence of an estimated $110 million in fraud, a bombshell that rocked the state and torpedoed Tim Walz’s political future, resulting in thousands of federal agents being sent into Minnesota, and HHS freezing more than $185 million in childcare payments.
