Irony, thy name is Jacob Frey.
The embattled Minneapolis mayor continues to find extraordinary ways to shoot himself in the foot with his extraordinarily ironic rhetoric.
A viral clip that surfaced Wednesday showed Frey blabbering one of his usual anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement rants:
Frey: “Imagine if your city or town was invaded by thousands of federal agents that do not share the values that you hold dear.”
Funny how this logic never applies to the invasion of illegal aliens. pic.twitter.com/J8Y36l6u9B

One Maryland lawmaker has a great idea: Ban Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents hired to enforce President Donald Trump’s deportations from ever getting jobs in state law enforcement.
“It says something about the morals of the person—the character of the person—if they see what’s happening on TV, they see what happening in the streets and say, ‘You know what? I want to join that,’” Democratic Del. Adrian Boafo, the bill’s sponsor, told The Washington Post
Good start, but I’d go even further.
Canada is moving to step up its position in the Arctic, announcing plans to open new consulates in Greenland and Anchorage, Alaska, as tensions grow over the strategic region and US President Donald Trump continues floating the idea of taking control of Greenland.
Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand said Canada will open a consulate in Nuuk, Greenland, next month. The move had been in the works before Trump’s latest comments, but it now comes as global attention has become focused on the Arctic, reports Bloomberg. Ottawa also plans to open a consulate in Anchorage, though Anand said there’s no timeline yet for when that will happen.

Minnesota State Sen. Omar Fateh (D-MN) is calling on Democrat Gov. Tim Walz to impose a statewide eviction moratorium, arguing that residents are too “terrified” to go to work due to heightened immigration enforcement.
Fateh claims Minnesota residents are struggling to make ends meet because of the increased presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the state.
However, ICE operations only target illegal aliens, most of whom are criminals, and not law-abiding American citizens.
British officials went to bed on Monday thinking they had averted a crisis. They woke up in the middle of an even deeper row over Greenland, tiny specks of rock in the Indian Ocean, and whether they should deploy their ultimate Trump card: King Charles.
Once again, President Donald Trump had upended everything with an early-hours Truth Social post.
It was all so different on Monday evening, when Secrets was chatting with sources. Crisis, the Brits believed, had been averted by the rational application of cool heads and a dose of logic.
Fresh off of the church invasion, Don Lemon is here to explain what Christianity is and how, if you don’t agree with him, you are not, in fact, a Christian. That’s not so much Christianity as Lemonism. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon assured members of the media that charges are coming for the group of anti-ICE protesters who barged into a church over the weekend. We’ll see what shakes out. Ben Shapiro appeared on California Governor Gavin Newsom’s podcast and said some stuff about the housing market. Here’s what he missed. Europeans are really mad at the United States about Greenland. Let’s talk a look at why Greenland is where it is.
Beheadings, ISIS Prison Break Follow Syria’s Jihadi Government Crackdown on Kurds– www.breitbart.com
A torrent of violence, including reported beheadings and a prison break by Islamic State terrorists, erupted in Syria on Monday following the signing of an agreement between the jihadist federal government under President Ahmed al-Sharaa and the U.S.-backed, Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
The SDF and associated Kurdish political arms had enjoyed years of semi-autonomy in the region known as Rojava, or Syrian Kurdistan, during the rule of deposed dictator Bashar Assad. Assad fled to Russia following the collapse of his military in late 2024, leaving the country in the hands of Sharaa’s Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), an al-Qaeda offshoot.
“Today, we are responding to the moment. We are setting the tone for what Virginians can expect over the next four years.”
Newly inaugurated Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger signed 10 executive orders on her first day in office, including one ending cooperation between law enforcement in the state and federal immigration authorities.
The new Democrat leader said in a statement, “Today, we are responding to the moment. We are setting the tone for what Virginians can expect over the next four years: pragmatic leadership focused on lowering costs and delivering results. My administration is getting to work on Day One to address the top-of-mind challenges facing families by lowering costs for Virginians in every community, building a stronger economy for every worker, and making sure that every student in the Commonwealth receives a high-quality education that sets them up for success. These executive orders represent the first steps in our work to create a stronger, safer, and — critically — more affordable future for our Commonwealth.”
The first order signed by Spanberger directs her secretaries and all executive branch agencies to submit reports “identifying immediate, actionable budgetary, regulatory, or policy changes that would reduce costs for Virginians,” with the reports being required to address “cost savings in areas such as housing, healthcare, energy, education, childcare, and everyday living expenses (groceries), where relevant to the agency or secretariat.”
Minnesota’s Democrat Attorney General Keith Ellison is rejecting assertions that anti–Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agitators who stormed a church in his state over the weekend may have violated federal civil rights laws.
Ellison defended the mod, despite the Department of Justice (DOJ) confirming it is reviewing the incident, which appeared to be provoked by former CNN anchor Don Lemon.
Top DOJ officials have said they are examining whether activists who disrupted Sunday services at Cities Church in St. Paul violated the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act or the Ku Klux Klan Act, both of which carry potential criminal penalties.
The United States on Thursday announced a far-reaching new round of sanctions against Iran, targeting senior security officials, a notorious prison accused of abusing detainees, and a sprawling network of front companies used to launder billions of dollars from oil and petrochemical sales, as protests continue to roil the country.
The coordinated action by the State Department and the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is aimed at what US officials called the “architects” of the Iranian regime’s violent crackdown on peaceful demonstrators and the financial machinery that sustains the government’s repression.

Gunfire erupted in strife-torn Portland, Oregon, late Monday as police launched a manhunt for a suspect after two officers were wounded in a shooting.
The incident unfolded around 9:36 p.m., according to a city statement.
“Two @PortlandPolice officers were shot in NE Portland as leftist and Antifa rioters occupied the ICE facility in south Portland. The officers’ conditions are not confirmed,” journalist Andy Ngo posted on X.
Both officers were taken to a local hospital and were listed in stable condition, Det. Jon Richardson said, according to ABC News.
The Republicans have had the House and Senate for well over a year and have done nothing to pass election integrity legislation ensuring the fraud continues. No reforms. No action while fraud remained embedded and untouched. But Democrats have been in power in Virginia for all of 48 hours and they’ve introduced legislation to ban the hand-counting of ballots—the single most transparent safeguard voters have.
“Prohibits such ballots from being counted by hand for any reason…”
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s newly appointed chief equity officer quietly deleted a social media account filled with radical rhetoric and racially charged attacks.
According to records reviewed by the New York Post, the powerful official, Afua Atta-Mensah, scrubbed her social media accounts clean just days before taking on one of the most powerful ideological roles in City Hall.
Atta-Mensah repeatedly used communist revolutionary language online, referred to others as “comrade,” and amplified far-left talking points, including claims that “there’s NO moderate way to black liberation.”
A little over a year ago, the Democratic Party decided that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was the kind of person we needed to be one heartbeat or one maleficent act away from the Oval Office.
Today, he’s not even running for a third term as governor of Minnesota because his state is mired in a welfare fraud scandal of gargantuan proportions. Worse, when the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice showed up at his doorstep to do what he could not — enforce the law, particularly as it pertains to the immigrant communities where the massive fraud was centered — he threw numerous hissy fits of abundant verbosity about that fact. He egged on activists taking to the streets in those good ol’ Fiery But Mostly Peaceful Protests™.
An Episcopal Bishop in New Hampshire says we are entering a new martyr era, where Christians may be called upon to martyr themselves. No, not in the name of God. In the name of protecting criminals and sex offenders in this country illegally. Not even American-born criminals and sex offenders. Just the ones that ICE wants to deport.
Granted, I am the least religious person here at Louder with Crowder and the Louder with Crowder Dot Com website. So if someone else can quote the scripture back to me that validates Episcopal Bishop Robert Hirschfeld preaching at a Renee Good vigil (obviously) that Christians best be prepared to die in the name of politics, I’d be curious about the passage
I have told the clergy of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire that we may be entering into that same witness. And I’ve asked them to get their affairs in order, to make sure they have their wills written, because it may be that now is no longer the time for statements, but for us with our bodies, to stand between the powers of this world and the most vulnerable.
Over the Christmas break some of you might have heard that on December 30, 2025, Kiano Vafaeian was euthanized in Vancouver after being approved by Dr. Ellen Wiebe, a physician who has ended over 400 lives through Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program.
Kiano suffered from diabetes, had lost vision in his left eye, and struggled with depression. His mother, Margaret Marsilla, had successfully stopped his first assisted suicide attempt back in 2022 through a public petition campaign. But this time, she couldn’t save him.
“No compassion. No protection. No effort to save a life, only to end it,” Marsilla wrote.
Despite Canada’s ban on MAID for mental illness until 2027, Dr. Wiebe did find a loophole in the system. Kiano was approved for death — not treatment, not therapy, not help, but death.
Virginia legislators took a radical step forward in altering the state’s constitution on Friday, passing an extreme abortion amendment that will go to a people’s vote in November.
The Virginia “Fundamental Right to Reproductive Freedom” Amendment passed the House on Wednesday and the Senate on Friday along party lines, the result of a multi-year effort by Democrats to dismantle the few protections in place for the unborn in the state.
The amendment incorporates broad language and excludes basic safeguards. It includes no age limit, no parental rights, no ban on partial-birth abortions, no required medical treatment for babies born alive after a botched abortion, and no restrictions on taxpayer funding. The language goes so far as to protect anyone “aiding” a woman in killing her unborn child. Freedom of conscience protections are completely absent.
A Virginia state delegate has introduced legislation that would bar the hand-counting of machine-readable ballots in most circumstances.
Delegate Marcia S. Price introduced HB 968 on January 13 which would prohibit ballots “from being counted by hand for any reason or purpose not specifically authorized by law.”
The legislation would amend the state code to add that, “In ascertaining the vote, the officers of election shall use ballot scanner machines to count machine-readable ballots and shall not count machine-readable ballots by hand for any reason or purpose not specifically authorized for by law.”
The Sunday invasion of Cities Church in St. Paul, Minneapolis, brings Christians in America to another inflection point: Will Christian leaders and pastors stand up for believers’ freedom to worship or cower in the face of the leftist pro-illegal immigration onslaught? Worse yet, will they join in it?
Prominent Christian leaders and pastors (legitimate and otherwise) have often advocated vigorously for immigrants, both legal and illegal. In some cases, leaders affirm a commitment to rule of law but place such a heavy emphasis on compassion and kindness that actual enforcement of the law seems impossible in their framework. More often than not, these leaders present illegal immigrants as law-abiding, religiously faithful victims. In other cases, leaders support the violation of immigration law or its nullification. At the same time, religious groups have incentivized and supported illegal immigration while shuttling millions to migrants and migrant services.
This past Sunday, Democrat protesters stormed a church service in St. Paul, terrorizing mothers and children, accusing its pastor of supporting for immigration authorities.
Democrats are now defending these rioters by invoking the First Amendment—free speech protections they suddenly claim to cherish.
These are the same Democrats who tried to impeach a president over election-related remarks, who seek to criminalize so-called “hate speech” and who aggressively prosecute freedom-loving Americans for opposing their ideology or speak candidly about Islamic terror.
When mobs attack churches, it’s “free speech.”
