Flotsam and Jetsam - Homan Goes To Minneapolis

Sundance at CTH has the news conference, Border Czar Tom Homan Holds a Press Conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota. At Althouse, "Um, the President of the United States called me Monday morning and asked me to deploy here. I got here Monday evening, and I'm staying until the problem's gone." "Said Tom Homan, in Minneapolis, just now. I'm quoting from the transcript at YouTube, here, along with video." Virginia Allen at Da Signal, Tom Homan Explains ICE ‘Drawdown’ Plan in Minnesota, "What Must Happen in Minnesota Before 'Withdrawal'" "Specifically, the border czar is asking state and local officials to honor Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainers and allow agents to arrest criminal illegal aliens in the controlled environment of a prison or jail, rather than releasing them from custody before federal agents can apprehend them." At Twitchy, NOT A WORD! Tom Homan Putting Anti-Ice Democrats In Their PLACE About Illegals Is GLORIOUS (Watch). Townhall.com @townhallcom, "Tom Homan CALLS OUT Democrats attacking ICE: "Where were they the last 4 years when the numbers of women and children sex-trafficked was at an all time high? Where were they when a quarter of a million Americans died from fentanyl coming across the border? Where were they when women and children were dying making that journey? ...Not a WORD." USA Today opines Trump secured the border. Don't let Minnesota overshadow that. Nick Arama at RedState says Yikes: This Threat to Kristi Noem From Hakeem Jeffries Isn't Toning Down the Temperature at All. Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_ "NEW: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) on DHS Secretary Kristi Noem: “She’s got to be put on ice permanently.”" I'm sure he thought that was a clever pun, but imaging Trump threatening to put Jeffries on ice. From WJ, Watch As Chants Ring Out About Lynching Kristi Noem, Clueless Lib Protesters Realize to Their Horror Who They're in Bed With.

Charles C. W. Cooke @charlescwcooke, "Federal agents are in a recalcitrant state trying to enforce federal law, and the governor of that state wonders if it’s Fort Sumter without stopping to puzzle out which side that makes him in the analogy." The Peacock whines Tim Walz says he'll never seek elected office again "The Minnesota governor unexpectedly announced this month that he wouldn't run for re-election." Mike Miller at RedState, Embattled MN Gov. Makes Big Announcement About Political Future, but What He Leaves Out Is Pure Walz. I guess he has enough baksheesh from the Somali fraudsters to get by. Hat Hai's Capt. Ed hears the Twin Cities Police Union Chief: These Deaths Are On Walz, Frey. Sasha Stone thinks Tim Walz is the Worst Kind of Coward.

Ace woke up to the news "Peaceful Protester" and Super-Hot Male Model Alex Pretti Seen in New Video Spitting at ICE Agents, Kicking Their Cars. "Assault and battery with a side of Blue Steel." Mary Chastain at LI, Durbin Used Fake AI Picture of Alex Pretti Shooting on Senate Floor "One of the agents doesn’t have a head." From NewsBusters, MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace Displays AI-Enhanced Alex Pretti Photo, the one they "prettified." Shipwreckedcrew explains, THE LAW on "Excessive Use Of Force Claims" -- Public Sentiments Do Not Reflect The Realities Of Legal Principles. ""Right" and "Wrong" are only seldomly relevant in the analysis, and the law has a tolerance for alleged "mistakes" by law enforcement in fast moving and confusing situations." 

Tom Knighton at BA sees The Truly Scary Part of Minneapolis Protests "Now, where things go from here could be overstated. This could somehow de-escalate on its own, and this could be the anomaly. But I wouldn't bet money on that one if my life depended on it, and it kind of does." Beege Welborn at Hat Hair, sees Polar Bear of Little Brains Jealous of ICE Flow in Other Cities. Illinois Review @IllinoisReview, "Defying his own city’s winter storm warnings, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson stood on ice — literally — with hundreds of protesters while calling to abolish ICE, then accused the Trump administration of kidnapping illegal aliens. Illegal Aliens First. The Safety of American Citizens Last." Ace, Don Lemon Arrested, But Not for the Sexual Assault He Was Credibly Accused of . " Don Lemon's shit-eating grin just got 10% more literal. Disgraced ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon was arrested early Friday over the anti-ICE protest that stormed a Minneapolis church during Sunday service, according to his attorney and Attorney General Pamela Bondi." At Da Signal, Dave Harsanyi asserts Protest Culture Is Annoying and Un-American. Jerry Dunleavy at JTN, Anti-ICE protest ‘terrorized’ Minnesota church, left kids scared, parents blocked: DOJ says. "DOJ says Minnesota churchgoers were "intimidated, harassed, oppressed, and terrorized" by anti-ICE agitators. They also added that at least one woman was hurt in the confrontation." Oli London @OliLondonTV, "Man dressed as Batman goes on anti-ICE tirade in front of the Santa Clara City Council. “I am disgusted by each and every one of you.”" TownHall's Amy Curtis sees Stephen Colbert Wants People to Stop Calling Ice Agents Nazis — and the Reason Why Will Have You Fuming. Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_, "Stephen Colbert: “Do not compare ICE or Border Patrol agents to the Nazis. That’s an unfair comparison. The Nazis were willing to show their faces.”" Ace, Surprise! Left Wing Uses Pressure from Below, Pressure from Above Color Revolution Tactics to Push... Comprehensive Immigration Reform "So it makes perfect communist color revolution sense that the "insiders" are now pushing amnesty and open borders again, this time, supposedly as a way to avoid the further violence and chaos they're allied "outsiders" are perpetrating." At Am Spec, Scott McKay has some Some Obvious Truths From Minnesota.

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican, " MAJOR BREAKING : The largest ICE license plate tracker, StopICE, has been compromised. First, follow @astrarce and @bitchuneedsoap. If you visit the StopICE license plate tracker, you will note all their plates have been overwritten with the following image: <-. From Twitchy, Woman Who Doxxed ICE Director and His FAMILY Just Found OUT by Losing Her Job and She is BIG MAD. Blue Lives Matter @bluelivesmtr, "MAJOR update: The woman who DOXED the ICE Director and his family has LOST HER JOB! Turns out the tables were turned on her and now she BIG MAD. She made the announcement privately on a local community group and is upset that people dimed her out. So of course this was brought to us to HIGH FIVE all of you for pushing back against evil. Heidi Scholes of Groveland, Massachusetts posted the home address of the ICE Director all over the internet, encouraging protestors to head to his house. His own CHILDREN AND WIFE have been made targets thanks to Heidi and her minions. Heidi's Facebook profile says she's "radicalized by basic decency" - which is pretty ironic, considering there's no "decency" in doxxing. Let's be clear - you target federal #lawenforcement and their families... and you make our naughty list. And you don't want to make our naughty list. Because our team is made up of trained warriors, law enforcement, combat veterans... and people who are really, really good at unmasking and exposing evil. Go ahead and f around, leftists. You'll find out."

PJM's Rick Moran claims The Iranian Regime Is in Worse Shape Than Previously Thought. Hat Hair's Duane Patterson quips Iran's Doomsday Clock Is So Close To Midnight, the Ball Is Dropping. Globe Observer @_GlobeObserver, "BREAKING: USS Abraham Lincoln has gone dark, with no transponder or communication, signaling possible preparation for action against Iran." Frontalforce @FrontalForce, "BREAKING A third US carrier strike group, USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77), is moving into the Middle East theater. Encircling Iran ?" TheIntelFrog @TheIntelFrog, "US Navy guided missile destroyer USS Delbert D. Black (DDG 119) has been confirmed by officials as entering the region as of yesterday. It's last position was departing NSA Souda Bay, Crete on the 26th. It joins the USS Roosevelt (DDG 80) in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Both ships will likely be positioned to provide ballistic missile defense for Israel." Quote The War Zone @thewarzonewire, "Destroyer, Electronic Surveillance Jet Joins U.S. Forces Massing In Middle East Amid the ongoing military buildup, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that no one knows who would lead Iran next should the Khamenei regime fall." At Da Wire, CNN’s Report From Tehran Echoes Regime Propaganda While Glossing Over Massacres. "Iran’s leadership is sending a strong and very defiant message to the United States."

Common Place's Oren Cass and Dan Kishi point out Canada Doesn’t Have the Cards. Canada is the foam on America's latte. At Am Con, The ‘Art’ of Trump’s ‘Concept’ Deal in Greenland.

Rick Moran thinks 'Trump Accounts' For Kids Could Turn Out to Be a Game Changer for the Next Generation. I expect Democrats to seize them at the next opportunity "for the children!"

For your amusement, Althouse posts this video, "How can you succeed when you say things like that?" To be a political pundit means you have no shame.


Ace notices Feds Seize 700 Boxes of "Votes" From Fulton County, GA, Election Hub; Democrats Shriek In Fear "Via Twitchy, Democrats are scrambling for a "plan" to #resist a signed judicial search warrant. Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC "You can’t make it up. The FCC will vote on requiring that federal subsidies flow only to people that are both living and lawful beneficiaries. Dems oppose." Beege Welborn hears Dr Oz Is the Latest Trump 'Racist' Going After Medical Fraud by Armenian mobs in California. Leslie Eastman at LI, Newsom Smears Dr. Oz as ‘Racist’ After He Targeted Alleged California Medical Fraud, "Because Oz asserts Russian, Armenian gangs are involved in a $1.4 billion fraud involving home healthcare services, Newsom’s office suggested that Oz’s Turkish heritage played a role in his findings." No Pasaran! sees Widespread failure across nearly every level of leadership in Minnesota: Public programs fraud on the scale we see today— of which Ilhan Omar is Somali Fraud Exhibit A—indicates a leadership class that has either forgotten or no longer takes seriously the idea that public office is a public trust.

Dave Strom cites Mamdani: Fiscal Crisis as Bad as Great Recession in NYC, because he can't spend money he doesn't have. 

And this is where I quit yesterday. Ilhan Omar was "attacked?" at a speech, by a man wielding a syringe of what turned out to be apple cider vinegar, which he sprayed on her torso. Now, vinegar in the eyes would be painful, but not deadly (ask me how I know), but on clothes, all it does is smell funny. Kind of like the whole affair. Ace, Ilhan Omar "Attacked"... with... Water... "Some claim it was staged. Including Trump. Or, at least, he jokes that she "probably" sprayed herself, while also not caring if she did nor not." And As Media Convulses Over Ilhan Omar Being Sprayed Like a Misbehaving Kitten, Tim Walz Says He'd "Beat the Shit Out of JD Vance If I Could," and a Democrat Attorney General Candidate Threatens to "Kill" Trump "But boy oh boy, Ilhan Omar had her monthly shower a few days early, what a tragedy. JLR© @JLRINVESTIGATES, "Anthony Kazmierczak was arrested last night for attacking Ilhan Omar. He was once married to a Patrice Kazmierczak. They divorced a few years ago. His ex-wife Patrice is a political activist & a big supporter of Ilhan Omar & AOC." Matt Vespa, Here’s the Guy Who Sprayed That Stuff on Ilhan Omar. Matt Vespa, It's a Question Everyone Is Asking About the Ilhan Omar Syringe Attack...and I Can See Why. Trish Regan @trish_regan, "Ilhan Omar was reportedly sprayed in the face tonight — And, she runs after the attacker?!! As though she’s about to take him out? This is not normal behavior. Not even close. No wonder people are asking if it was STAGED!" Matt Margolis, Here’s Why Many Say the Ilhan Omar Assault Was Staged. Twitchy, FAKE, FAKE, FAKE! Ilhan Omar LOSES It When Asked Why She Didn't Follow Foreign Substance Protocols. Bad Hombre @Badhombre, "The craziest thing about Ilhan Omar getting sprayed with apple cider vinegar is how her net worth increased by 3,500% since getting elected." To be sure, she's not the only congress critter to do that. Dave Strom sees a mystery when Ilhan Omar's Winery Disappears...Literally Gone From the Internet and Archives. "A major part of that growth in wealth has been the rapid rise in the valuation of a sketchy "winery" from a few thousand dollars to a whopping $5 million to$15 million, despite having (perhaps) released few wines and, in recent years, none at all. Its locations appear to be empty buildings, its wines are unavailable, and once attention was turned to its sketchy nature, all the information about it disappeared from the internet." Elon Musk @elonmusk, "Hmm" Quote Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal, "Ilhan Omar’s so called $5M winery vanishes without a trace...no license, no footprint, just gone. Source: @NEWSMAX x.com/MarioNawfal/st…" From Wombat at the In The Mailbox: 01.29.26 (Afternoon Edition), EBL: Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has a California winery? More likely a California money laundry. 

FWIW, I give the chances of the vinegar attack being staged about 10%. You'd have to be a real sucker to do that knowing you'd be caught and charged assaulting a congresscritter. However, if she begs for his release from the charges, or fails to file needed charges, the chance goes up to 95%.

✪ Evil Te𝕏an ✪ @vileTexan "After Benny @bennyjohnson went digging on Illan Omar, I went digging a little bit on "the squad". Rashida Tlaib is a broke ass mf'r btw. However, Ayanna Pressley (MA-07) has some interesting things going on. Her husband is pulling in $1M/yr from "government funded" sources. So I dug through her congressional financial disclosures and used AI to break some things down. Let's go. THE NUMBERS: * 2018 net worth: -$12,500 (per OpenSecrets) * 2024 net worth: ~$8,000,000 That's an $8 MILLION increase in 6 years on a $174K congressional salary. How'd that happen? . . . " 


From Da Caller, Police Charge West Virginia Librarian For Allegedly Recruiting People To Assassinate Trump, as someone quipped, leaving WV with no librarians. 
 
Andy Ngo @MrAndyNgo "After weeks of trial, a jury has found the City of Seattle liable for a black boy who was shot dead by the CHAZ BLM-Antifa security in 2020. The city evacuated the police station & built barricades to help the far-left rioters. Report by @KatieDaviscourt." I'm pleasantly surprised a Seattle jury did that. 

From the College Fix, Chicago schools refuse to hire Christian college student teachers despite lawsuit. Hat Hair's John Sexton hears a Biologist Sues Cornell Claiming Racial Discrimination and Dave Strom hears Michelle Obama complain Black Women Don't Complain Enough. Eitan Fischberger @EFischberger "Newly unsealed federal court orders point to massive Qatari funding shaping Carnegie Mellon’s behavior and enabling antisemitism on campus: . . . A federal judge said a reasonable juror could conclude that CMU’s reliance on over $1 billion from Qatar motivated the university to accommodate donor expectations . . ." Ace, AP: "Car Rams Into Chabad Headquaters In New York City". "If you don't know what a Chabad house is, join the club. My guess is that it's some kind of community center or charity. Jewish. Which is why AP resorts to their favorite fact-obscuring tactic: Claiming a "car" rammed something, rather than a person at the wheel of that car. And the man who rammed the car into the Jewish center has an Arabic last name, "Sohail." So you'll understand Associated with Terrorist's lunatic choice to make the car the bad actor in this story."

A Driscolly post at Insty, AND NOW, A WORD FROM GUS FRING: Sociopath Giancarlo Esposito Willing to See 50 Million (Other) People Die for His Revolution. "Actor Giancarlo Esposito crystallized today’s Democrat Party by admitting he is willing to see people die to fulfill his revolution. This is a direct quote, per the far-left Variety, and these are the words of a narcissistic sociopath. Block quotes are Variety’s… "This is time for a revolution — and they don’t even know that’s what they’re starting. We have to stand up to it. They can’t take us all down. If the whole world showed up on Putin’s doorstep or the Iranians’ doorstep or in Washington, they’d kill 500 or 50 million or however [many], but the rest of us would survive with a new [world]." Don’t you get it, you over-privileged, leftist dummies? Do you not see it? You bored, spoiled brats attempting fill the God-shaped hole in your soul by attacking law enforcement, destroying private property, and provoking violence are nothing more or less than cannon fodder to Democrat Party elites like Giancarlo Esposito. . ."
