Flotsam and Jetsam - MN Mob Invades Church, Confronts Congregation

A bunch of Minnesota "protesters", egged on by failed journolist former CNN talking butthead Don Lemon, invaded a Baptist church in Minneapolis yesterday and confronted the congregation, following word that the name of the pastor was the same a one of the ICE agents that had been doxxed by the media. This is a plain and obvious violation of federal FACE Act, widely used by the Biden administration to jail grandmothers protesting at abortion clinics, but which at the behest of Republicans in Congress, also forbids the same acts at churches. At Twitchy, Don Lemon Leads ICE Protestors to Church - Just NOT How You Think: Right Angle News Network @Rightanglenews, "BREAKING - Anti ICE agitators, led by failed CNN host Don Lemon, stormed a Minneapolis church this morning, halting services and holding members hostage because they believed the pastor was ICE affiliated. “The whole point of it is to disrupt and make people uncomfortable.” (video at link). Dave Strom at Hat Hair, ICE Protesters Storming Churches Now; Hotels Kicking People Out. John Hinderacker at Power Line, More Minneapolis Madness: Collin Rugg @CollinRugg, "NEW: Don Lemon tries lecturing a pastor on the First Amendment after a mob of far leftists stormed a church in Minneapolis. Pastor: “This is unacceptable. It's shameful to interrupt a public gathering of Christians in worship…” Lemon: “Listen, there's a constitution, the First Amendment to freedom of speech and freedom to assemble and protest.” Pastor: “We're here to worship Jesus because the hope of the world is Jesus Christ…” Lemon: “But did you try to talk to them?” Pastor: “No one is willing to talk. I have to take care of my church and my family so I ask that you would also leave this building.” Imagine storming a church mid worship and thinking you are the good guys." Insty says HEY, WITH DON LEMON I’M JUST GRATEFUL IT’S NOT SEXUAL ASSAULT. Greg Price @greg_price11, "I'm no historian but I don't think there's ever been a situation in the last 100 years where the people storming the churches were the good guys."

"my first impulse is to say, “it’s just talk, for now.” but then i remember the murders of Charlie Kirk, and Aaron Danielson, i remember Alvarado where 11 individuals ambushed officers at an ICE facility, i remember McAllen where a gunman fired dozens of rounds at a Border Patrol facility, injuring a police officer and an employee, i remember Dallas in September where a shooting at an ICE facility left one detainee dead and two others wounded where the attacker used ammunition marked with "anti-ICE" messages, i remember the guy that went to J.D. Vance’s home, and i remember the two attempts on Donald Trump. then i think, “oh, they’re already doing it.”" Quote Reddit Lies @reddit_lies, "Bluesky skeeters are discussing making IEDs to hit ice btw."

John Sexton at Hat Hair wonders How Will China Try to Take Control of Taiwan (Can It Be Stopped?). Driscoll at Insty says BOMB CANADA — THE CASE FOR WAR: Blume Industries CEO Balding 大老板 @BaldingsWorld, "It is truly mind boggling the absolute memory hole Canadian activity has disappeared into because people hate Trump so much. Canada for years has had massive Chinese money laundering, drug, intel, and security issues with regards to China something everybody should know. They are not an ally they literally let the PLA train in China a few years ago. The idea that Trump took his actions in a vacuum and that is what prompted everything is just completely afactual ignorance. . . ." Quote Chris McGuire @ChrisRMcGuire, "Canada's agreement to let Chinese cars into their market is an extremely poor strategic decision. But it also shows that without strong and consistent messaging from Washington, even our closest allies will sacrifice long-term strategic interest for short-term economic or. . . "

Sundance, The Norwegian Nobel Committee Have an Important, Albeit Hilarious, Announcement. "A Nobel Peace Prize laureate receives two central symbols of the prize: a gold medal and a diploma. In addition, the prize money is awarded separately. Regardless of what may happen to the medal, the diploma, or the prize money, it is and remains the original laureate who is recorded in history as the recipient of the prize. Even if the medal or diploma later comes into someone else’s possession, this does not alter who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. A laureate cannot share the prize with others, nor transfer it once it has been announced. A Nobel Peace Prize can also never be revoked. The decision is final and applies for all time."

Insty cites CHRIS BRAY: What Blue Zone Collapse Looks Like: “In my last post, I said that the Blue Zones are functionally insolvent. ‘The well is dry.’ Several commenters responded with the observation that they’ve been hearing this story for twenty years or more, but the Blue Zones are still going, so what insolvency and collapse are you talking about? But the collapse of the Blue Zones doesn’t look like Enron or K-Mart; California doesn’t shut down. The state has 39 million golden geese to cut open. There’s a lot of ruin in a state. But the collapse remains real, and it’s already happening. It looks like this.” Billy Binion @billybinion, "The entitlement here is astounding. California didn’t make these people money. These people made money for California. No one “deserves” it. When faced with crushing financial losses, it’s entirely rational for business owners to move elsewhere. Wealth taxes inevitably fail." Quote Chief Nerd @TheChiefNerd, " Kara Swisher on California’s Wealth Tax “You made all your money in California, you ungrateful piece of sh*t.

That isn’t the rule of law. That’s prosecution as a weapon. Very authoritarian from the side who is always warning us about authoritarianism.." At Althouse, "Mr. Trump does not attempt to hide his use of law enforcement powers for vengeance. He glories in it...." "His usurpation of law enforcement power threatens us all.... His move to control investigation and prosecution from the White House portends an America where the state uses force to promote the political interests of its leaders, rather than uphold the laws passed by our representatives. . . .
