  1. “I won’t be lectured to by people who cheer political violence and then claim the moral high ground.

    – They laughed and celebrated when Charlie Kirk was murdered.

    – They praised and lionized Luigi Mangione.

    – They mocked the attempted assassination of President Trump and said the shooter should’ve been better.

    – They never mourned Ashley Babbitt.

    – They never mourned Laken Riley.

    – They never mourned Jocelyn Nungary.

    – They never mourned Iryna Zarutska.

    I reject their lectures. Every American life lost is a tragedy.

    I don’t want my fellow Americans to die, and at least we have the moral clarity to say that without exceptions.”

  2. “Mass deportations is a winning issue politically. Even CNN admits it.

    Majorities between 55% to 64% want ALL illegals deported. No exceptions.

    55% want less legal immigration also. There is ZERO reason to back down. Full speed ahead on deportations. And cancel legal pathways also.”

    “Even CNN polls prove Americans WANT EVERY ILLEGAL DEPORTED no matter what Dems scream!

    Fresh data: NYT 55%, Marquette 64%, CBS 57%, ABC 56% say deport ALL here illegally. Nearly 90% back shipping out the criminals. Trump promised mass deportations and we elected him to do it.

    But Dems and MSM gaslight hard – turn gang members into victims, cry Nazi, storm ICE, call riots peaceful. They create chaos then whine “this isn’t normal” to kill the plan we voted for. Straight abuse. Trump delivering law and order like we demanded!”

  3. “I have 20 years of experience in the intelligence community, and yes, what we’re seeing in Minnesota is closer to insurgency than a protest.

    A protest doesn’t feature thousands of people on comms, tracking law enforcement to sabotage operations, while armed, or using vehicles to ram officers.

    What we’re seeing is highly dangerous, coordinated, and risks escalating into something deeply damaging to the country. We need de-escalation now, and an immediate investigation into the funders and leaders behind this operation.”

    “As a former Special Forces Warrant Officer with multiple rotations running counterinsurgency ops—both hunting insurgents and trying to separate them from sympathetic populations—I’ve seen organized resistance up close. From Anbar to Helmand, the pattern is familiar: spotters, cutouts, dead drops (or modern equivalents), disciplined comms, role specialization, and a willingness to absorb casualties while bleeding the stronger force slowly.

    What’s unfolding in Minneapolis right now isn’t “protest.” It’s low-level insurgency infrastructure, built by people who’ve clearly studied the playbook.

    Signal groups at 1,000-member cap per zone. Dedicated roles: mobile chasers, plate checkers logging vehicle data into shared databases, 24/7 dispatch nodes vectoring assets, SALUTE-style reporting (Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, Equipment) on suspected federal vehicles. Daily chat rotations and timed deletions to frustrate forensic recovery. Vetting processes for new joiners. Mutual aid from sympathetic locals (teachers providing cover, possible PD tip-offs on license plate lookups). Home-base coordination points. Rapid escalation from observation to physical obstruction—or worse.

    This isn’t spontaneous outrage. This is C2 (command and control) with redundancy, OPSEC hygiene, and task organization that would make a SF team sergeant nod in recognition. Replace “ICE agents” with “occupying coalition forces” and the structure maps almost 1:1 to early-stage urban cells we hunted in the mid-2000s.

    The most sobering part? It’s domestic. Funded, trained (somewhere), and directed by people who live in the same country they’re trying to paralyze law enforcement in. When your own citizens build and operate this level of parallel intelligence and rapid-response network against federal officers—complete with doxxing, vehicle pursuits, and harassment that’s already turned lethal—you’re no longer dealing with civil disobedience. You’re facing a distributed resistance that’s learned the lessons of successful insurgencies: stay below the kinetic threshold most of the time, force over-reaction when possible, maintain popular support through narrative, and never present a single center of gravity.

    I spent years training partner forces to dismantle exactly this kind of apparatus. Now pieces of it are standing up in American cities, enabled by elements of local government and civil society. That should keep every thinking American awake at night.

    Not because I want escalation. But because history shows these things don’t de-escalate on their own once the infrastructure exists and the cadre believe they’re winning the information war.

    We either recognize what we’re actually looking at—or we pretend it’s still just “activism” until the structures harden and spread.

    Your call, America. But from where I sit, this isn’t January 2026 politics anymore.

    It’s phase one of something we’ve spent decades trying to keep off our own soil.”

    “HOLY SMOKES. Trump’s HUD Sec. Scott Turner unveiled a JAW-DROPPING betrayal by the Democrats:

    – Over $5 BILLION in “payment errors,” over $50 billion in total rental assistance in 2024 ALONE

    – Money went to 30,000 DEAD PEOPLE- Government-backed mortgages went to NON-CITIZENS

    – Public housing went to illegal aliens”

    That is ludicrous. It’s ridiculous to even think or talk in such a way!”

    “How did Ilhan Omar make millions from a 100% fake winery?

    This is insane. We investigated. Check this out…

    Illhan Omar lists a California winery on her financial disclosures. You can see them below. The winery name is ‘eStCru LLC.’

    In 2023 it was valued at $15k.In 2024 it was valued at $5 Million (!!!)

    This must be a very successful winery to grow that much in value over one year. Except… the winery does not even exist:

    – No phone line

    – No physical winery

    – Social media gone dark

    – A barely functional ‘website’

    – No wine lol

    What is this?!

    It gets worse: Omar’s third husband, Tim Mynett, has been accused of defrauding investors through this FAKE winery. He was sued by the investors for millions because it’s all fraudulent. This is on brand. Minnesota AG Keith Ellison previously worked with Mynett, the same AG who has REFUSED to investigate widespread Somali fraud.

    How does a nonexistent winery jump from $15k to $5 million in one year when the company is a ghost? How can Omar claim this fake company provides her millions in assets? Seems like a cover.

    Ironically, one of the wine labels they made was literally called ‘The Devil‘s Lie’

    The Trump administration and Republicans in Congress MUST investigate this fraud further.”

    “A few Republicans are saying stupid things. They should stop. 1) ICE should not leave Minnesota. That would endanger citizens & empower marxist domestic terrorists. 2) Carrying a gun & magazines is not an invitation for cops to shoot you. Fighting cops (esp. w/ a gun) might be.”

    “Let’s talk Judicial Lawfare.

    Over 4 years of the Biden administration, 9 district court rulings against the administration were later overturned on appeal. About 2.25 per year.

    In 2025 alone, the first year of President Trump’s second term, 32 District Judges have issued 133 rulings against the Trump administration that were stayed or overturned on appeal.

    Simplified, District Judges are now issuing rulings that ultimately fail on appeal at more than 50x the rate compared to the previous presidency.

    And for the record, when these cases reach the Supreme Court, President Trump’s win rate is roughly 90%.”

  8. “This entire ICE fight is over the 2030 Census.

    Democrats pushed millions of people in blue states to move out with their high taxes, Covid tyranny, and skyrocketing costs of living, so they opened the border floodgates under Biden to replace them with illegals.

    President Trump is now mass deporting them so they’re violently fighting back.

    The 2030 Census all comes down to the 2028 race though.

    If Democrats steal the White House again, these 2030 Census numbers will get rigged worse than the 2020 election.

    If a Republican wins, Dems will rightfully lose power in DC for decades.

    Recognize where we are.”

  9. It’s too bad that pointing out that many people, especially family members of people with Down Syndrome or similar conditions, are hurt or offended by the use of the r-word is considered pearl-clutching. There has been an online campaign to put an end to the use of that word for years.

    The problem is not primarily that you are insulting those about whom you are using the “R” word. The problem is that you are insulting those to whom you are comparing them. They don’t deserve your insults. Please be kind to them.

  11. Sorry Kizzie, but that effort censorship effort failed. It’s a widely used slang term. I don’t see it going away, and I’m not gonna be guilted into not sharing a good piece because a word offends some.

    I don’t use it, but I’m aware that others do and it’s quite common, so I ignore it when I see it. Learn to do the same, since it’s not leaving the lexicon any time soon.

    Point taken. It’s why I don’t call them jackasses anymore, seems unfair to farm animal type jackasses.

  12. Same for curse words, read em all across the media landscape everyday, and ignore them.

    And like the poster above, I’ll not be cowed by the people calling me a Nazi, Christian fanatic, fascist, or other choice terms I’ve been called, including several cuss words.

  13. Everyone I know, when referring to the people with legitimate problems and handicaps uses the terms “special needs” or “handicapped”, whether that be physical or mental or mental condition.

    When retarded is used nowadays, it refers to a clown, a fool, someone acting stupid, some would say idiot.

    They aren’t referring to the people in the first paragraph, but the people in the second.

    Part of it I think is the guilt some older folks may feel for using it for the first group in the past.

    The so-called “victim” had already been in a fight with ICE, yet still returned with a gun to do it again.

    “BREAKING: ICE Attacker Alex Pretti Had A Physical Altercation With ICE And Broke His Rib Just A Week Before He Was Shot and Killed.

    He was tackled for impeding operations, and a week later he showed up with a loaded weapon to attack federal law enforcement.

    He had a history of interfering with ICE and the left wants you to believe he meant no harm. This is who they are rioting for.

    The operation motivating and fueling these people needs to be completely exposed and brought down.”

  15. Like Aj points out the preferred word to reference a mentally compromised person/child would be special needs or if DS as a Downs child. I haven’t heard anyone use the word “retarded” to reference the mentally ill ever actually. I was surprised by the use of “sperg” with the connotation to one with Asperger’s. The use of that word in the posting yesterday didn’t even make sense in its usage in the first place. I saw it as someone wanting to use the cool woke word and it fell flat.

    I have copied many an article which contained words I don’t use but the author of the article does. It gets the point across and like it or not bad descriptive words are used on both sides of the aisle…albeit in my estimation the left uses the most sophomoric and disgusting words imaginable.

  16. In high school, the special needs children were referred to as retards in my peer group. It was short for retarded. It was the word used as a descriptor as far as I knew and not really meant in a bad way, except that some people made fun of their differences and unexpected behaviors. Then we were told to not use that word. I guess you could have called the normal kids the reforms. We were instructed on their conditions and learned to respect them. Mostly it was ignorance and lack of exposure to such unique people that drove a lot of the bad behaviors. Yes, it has been many years since the word was used that way. But that is the origin of it. Since many DS people live shorter lives, not many would still be around to know the original sting of being called that and laughed at.
