    IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) Skinny Minny is ground zero for domestic terrorism and insurrection. Now an appellate court won't overturn the magistrate and issue an arrest warrant for Blind Lemon Don. This is extremely dangerous, and is soon going to leave President Trump no choice but to declare the Insurrection Act & use troops. An armed man was shot by federal agents after he resisted being disarmed. Apparently he did not listen to his parents who told him not to do anything stupid. Dey kai't hep it. It's who dey is. The Minny Po Po Chief issued a statement basically saying they saw the video and it was a justified shooting.. Trump lambasted the mayor and the governor: "Why weren't [the local police] allowed to protect ICE officers?" Then he---here comes the warmup---said they were guilty of "inciting insurrection." This must be crushed the way U.S. Grant crushed the KKK in the post-bellum South. Ruthlessly. Otherwise, you're going to get more of this: an "OH man" was arrested for making murderous ICE threats, and they found body armor, guns, and, of course, a Pale flag in his dump. Meanwhile, the Prancing Gheyboy Tampon Timmy has called up the MN national guard to "protect" federal buildings and blames it on the influx of ICE agents rather than on the real villain, the evil Somali scooterpooters who required ICE in the first place. Waltz will have them wear yellow vests to distinguish them---but not sure that will make a difference with violence occurs. As we learned with "peacekeeping" operations abroad, when violence starts, the worst place to be is in between the combatants. Walt's actions may be an attempt to forestall the Insurrection Act and speaking of which, Seth Keshel argues it's time to pull the pin and use the IA. I have no problem with the IA, but realize that 1) it simply adds more troops---which Trump can do other ways---but does not address the widespread "resistance/fascism" network of MN morons (see his examples here and here); 2) it in no way circumvents the judges, which is our biggest obstacle.. It also appears that the Molochian Minnies may so jump the shark that even many "nice" Minnesotans will have enough, such as these little Baal-lovers, who blocked stairs at a MN church so parents couldn't get their kids. It's also fitting that the chlamydia-dripping AG in MN, Keith ("Mr. Muslim") Ellison previously fought AGAINST allowing people to be armed in protests.UPDATE: Trump and Waltz had a phone call, and typical Trump, he said it went well and framed it as "they have some differences" but that Tampon Timmy is going to support ICE. Now, whether that's true or not, it means Trump now has Tampon Timmy "on record" so if he doesn't support ICE, Trump will claim he's a liar. 2) It's a "Snowpacalypse" in parts of the country, the TX grid, which underwent several improvements over the last five years under Gov. Abbott, is holding up. As of Sunday night, gas and oil held up, while renewables failed in TX. The vast majority of TX's energy is coming from gas and oil. By the way, over 12,000 flights have been canceled. {UPDATE: the new number is 23,000] 3) Here is the evil spinich-snorter who bilked Kollyfornians out of millions for "homeless shelters" that magically turned into $1,250 loafers and other luxury goods. 4) A Boca Raton nurse (get it? One who supposedly helps people?) was fired after she posted her wishes that Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt would suffer fatal side-effects of her pregnancy. Now, there is free speech, but you do not have any First Amendment right to damage your employer's business with your asswipery. 5) Both libertarian-leaning Robert Barnes and my own Zen Master have said that Trump would lose the birthright citizenship case because the best arguments against it are buried deep in English law. Well, it appears that's specifically what Bondi/Solicitor General are going to argue---history. It worked with guns, so we'll see. 6) Larry Fink of Black Rock correctly says that countries that avoided mass immigration will be "better positioned" for the future. Yeah, like they will be solvent. 7) Again, this MN fraud is going to be found everywhere, though perhaps a somewhat lower levels (except Kollyfornia). Now an appointee by MI's Witless Protection (Gretchen Witmer) is found to have bilked the state's taxpayers of millions. Oh yeah. Said bilksteress was a Nigerian college prof. Who coulda guessed? 8) In discussing the Manure-O Maduro raid, President Trump said that while he couldn't discuss the technology used, "We came in. They pressed buttons. Nothing worked" referring to the ChiCom and Russkie defense systems. 9) Using MN and ICE follies as an excuse, SpewMore is threatening to again shut down the gubment. Please do, evil sphinctermissile. Last time it worked out very well for the GOP. 20) Why Trump might win the Lisa Cook (Fed Reserve chick) case. 21) New Azteca (LA) is funding an anti-cop, Olympics-hating group to the tune of $1.4 million. It's astounding....

    IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) Good to see, as I have been harping on the dramatic collapse of Congress as a functioning institution. Now, House Rs passed not one, not two, but TWELVE appropriations bills. It was the first time in 29 years the House did so. This is an absolutely necessary start to regaining Congressional power, but it's only a first step. 2) Nabbing a Venezuelan murder-monster will do that: Trump's popularity among Hispanics surged 28% and 24% in two new polls. 3) There have been multiple firings of FBI agents who worked the Patriot Day (J6) cases, along with others. There appears to be a much needed quiet purge going on inside the FBI. 4) Murders plummeted mor than 20% in most U.S. cities. 5) Panican Doomspooger Whine: "They don't arrest anyone." Reality: Several were arrested in the anti-ICE church terror event. I particularly love this one: the toodlespooter that begged AG Pam Bondi to arrest him? She took him up on it But, because Blind Lemon Don is a black homosexual, he was protected from arrest by a magistrate who, gee, had earlier released a terrorist who put a $45,000 bounty on Pam Bondi. This so-called magistrate himself needs to be in gen pop with a very large member of the Aryan Brotherhood introducing him to the fine points of the penal system. Meanwhile, Blind Lemon Don, who should be excited by any penal system, has gone dark, purged his social media account and hired a suit. Let's hope it's not Harvey Specter, or Bondi doesn't have a chance. Oh, and Cities Church, which was invaded by these leprous ballsnagglers, is filing civil suits against them. Good. In the Name of Jesus I sue thee! 6) There are fewer people stupider or more dangerous than the puspimple of an AZ AG, Kris Mayes, who urged people to "stand their ground" against ICE. That's the way people end up not standing their ground but being buried beneath it. 7) Speaking of AZ, check out the powerful shifts in voter registration here. Every single county moved to the right even more AFTER the 2024 election, including blue counties. 8) Lee Zeldin, head of the EPA, ended all testing on mammals by 2035. Save the doggies. 9) The House passed a DHS funding bill that includes new ICE and Border Patrol funding. Of all Rs, only the evil and moronic Masshole voted against it. What a poltroon. 10) A New York court ruled that the state must redraw its congressional map due to District 11, which is held by an R. This will be appealed, and no telling if it will be hashed out by November, but it could cost the GOP a seat in a narrow election. 11) The good news keeps coming, as the U.S. exited the World Health Org. You know, the WHO. Remember just three years ago when I predicted the WHO would collapse? 12) The New York Slimes needs a fact checker, cuz the doltish spudderjumper they have is flat WRONG on all facts. 13) Now the MN walking hernias attacking ICE agents are going after the dogs. I say, "loose the dogs of war." 14) When you read between the lines of leftist rags like Politico, which says Trump will have a third term even if he doesn't run because of the permanence of his policies, they are tacitly admitting that J.D. Vance will be the next president. 15) And here is another couple of pieces, where, if you read between the lines you can see that DemoKKKrats are panicked. "Liberal Patriot" blared, "Warning Lights" for DemoKKKrats." And an earlier piece from "Liberal Patriot," it warned that DemoKKKrats are engaged in "cultural denialism." 16) Winter storm coming and it's gonna be a cold one. Many places right now are colder than Hillary's, er . . . heart. IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 17) Again, this is why I say that MN is ground zero for breaking ALL fraud, including voter fraud. You see all the hideous groups are fomenting agitation there, commies, Black Looters Matter, you name em. The "Axis of Anarchy." 18) DHS is more than doubling the self-deportation bonus. 19) Me-hee-co sent 37 cartel members to the U.S. to face justice. IN CULTURAL NEWS 20) The President of Brandeis says up to 25% of colleges may close. Boo hoo. This is what happens when you cease to perform your primary purpose of actually educating people and instead indoctrinate them. 21) A new theory about the Ark of the Covenant is that it was built to show God was not contained inside, but was bigger than any man-made idol. Here I thought it was mainly a Nazi killer. IN ECONOMIC NEWS 22) Microsoft's CEO says they must do "something useful" with AI or they will lose "social permission" to burn electricity. Ah, not exactly there, tuddledumps. We have lots of electricity. What you will lose is access to consumer-paid free electricity to you. Pony up, little man. Irena Slav also notes that "OpenAI may go bankrupt by 2027." 23) Consumer sentiment surged last month. Oops. You mean things are getting better? IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS 24) Alberta wants to separate from Canada. 25) Really bad news for Europe, as solar and wind have ...

    IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) In the biggest news of the day, President Trump took a flamethrower to the Davos crowd. Here is his entire (long) speech. He roasted the stupid Mediocre Brits for just sitting on energy while having energy shortages. He also, as always, negotiated a deal for territory in Greenland. Chowderchimneys as always failed to understand Trump's negotiating tactics. He begins with, "We want Greenland." But he really doesn't. What he wants is access to key areas of Greenland for the Golden Dome defense. Libs and Hoax Newsers freak out. "Trump is going to invade Greenland." Moronic Little Macaroni in France says "we'll send troops." Germany actually SENT 13 guys (!!!!), then withdrew them after 48 hours. Trump conquered France and Germany in less time than it took the Nazis to take Poland. Now they're all, "Oh, wait, you will be happy with THESE territories? Sure! Fine!" Trump then called off the extra tariffs. And NOW we get the "experts" saying, "You know, Greenland is critical to defending against Russkie and ChiCom missiles." The New York Slimes tries to minimize this astounding accomplishment by saying he's getting "pockets" of territory. Exsqueeze me, Slimes. If someone said they "wanted' New York, and ended up only getting the "pocket" of NYC, I'm pretty sure they'd be viewed as successful. Don't think anyone will fight too much over the fact they got to keep the Buffalo Hillbillies. Then Howard Luttnick came on stage and said, "Globalism has failed." The only thing more painful to those chatterspatters would have been if he finished with "In the Name of Jesus," but that may be a bridge too far for a Jew. 2) In New Somalia, better known as MN, Blind Lemon Don faces (irony) KKK charges in barging into a church to terrify worshipers. The DOJ is investigating, but the chorus of "WE WANT ARRESTS" is starting to become deafening. I have defended Bondi, but now we're a year in, had two hapless efforts to arrest James Scrotumtoter Comey and Letitia James that went awry, and nothing else. To say the natives are restless would be an understatement. One of the invaders was a staffer in the county attorney's office. Oh, and the Eighth Circuit said that ICE and cops can go back to using normal, approved tactics with the Molochian eggplant eaters. 3) Told you the split wouldn't last long. Elon Musk is putting $10m into a key KY Senate race. 4) Seth Keshel argues that VA is a cautionary tale, especially when the morons in IN refused to redistrict cuz it wouldn't be "nice." VA, where DemoKKKrats now have a trifecta, are going to enact all their fascist terrorist policies before you can say "Avengers: Doomsday." Meanwhile, in better news in a voter roll cleanup, Pima Co., AZ (deep blue) lost 3600, going from D+8 to D+7.7. If you can read the habanero leaves, the Hoax News media is preparing people for a GOP victory in the midterms, saying, hatred of Trump must exceed hatred of the DemoKKKrat Terror Party---cuz the dirty little secret is that NO ONE except the pierced pink-headed AWFULs likes the DemoKKKrat Terrorists. 5) Speaking of terrorists, women are far more supportive of political assassination than men. Course, women, on the whole, don't use guns at nearly the same rate as men, so what they are really supporting is MEN to do their dirty work for them. 6) President Trump had a better first year than FDR, accomplishing as much without nearly the Congressional or infrastructure support. 7) Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders has led a powerful attack to roll back ChiCom agricultural land purchases in Arkansas. 8) Every day more evidence surfaces about the illegal and unconstitutional efforts the Rutabaga administration ran to stomp all who opposed them, with the FBI paying anti-Trump "sedition hunters" to rat out Republicans and MAGA victims. 9) Despite great efforts by Harmeet Dhillon in the DOJ to eliminate DEI, some agencies in Trump's administration (Small Business Administration) are still allowing essays trumpeting a person's race and ethnicity for loan grants. 10) I love this headline: "Meet the Americans so desperate to flee Trump they are living in Dutch refugee camp." Great. Right next to the Religion of Peace (TROP trademark). 11) This is karmic irony. The Amazing Zohran, who almost certainly won the vast majority of the AWFULs (Affluent White Female Urban Liberals)---though in fairness most people would agree that the "U" could stand for "Ugly" and "Unhinged"---has an "equity officer" (which is to say, someone with no skills, no talent, and no real job tasks) who said she wanted to "Tax them [AWFULs) to the white meat" and other colorful racist quips. IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 12) Shocked, I tell ya. Drug overdose deaths plummeted after Trump shut down the border. 13) More Skinny Minny fraud exposed by Nick Shirley in the area this time of transportation services. It is rumored the MN Vikings will rename their stadium: IN CULTURAL NEWS 14) Just yuck. "Lulu Lemon" had to...
