Flotsam and Jetsam - Substance Free Sunday

We're Still hashing over the week's events. Nick Arama at RedState wants you to Watch: Things Getting Wild in MN As Anti-ICE Crew Harasses Regular People, Concerning City Email Revealed and sees What Led Up to This ICE Operation at a Mexican Restaurant in MN Has the Left Melting Down. Matt Vespa at TownHall, What ICE Agents Did After Eating Lunch at a Mexican Restaurant in MN Will Probably Drive Libs Insane. Came back later for the illegals working there. And Wait, That's How a Local Minnesota Dem Described the Leftist Violence Against ICE "State Sen. Bobby Joe Champion, said attacks on law enforcement following the shooting death of Renee Nicole Good, 37, on January 7 only show that Minnesotans are being good neighbors, or something. This comes after ICE agents were ambushed by Venezuelan illegals this week, some of whom were armed with shovels." Driscoll at Insty, DAVID BROOKS DESCRIBES ICE IN MINNEAPOLIS AS ALMOST AN ‘ARMED OCCUPATION:’ Coddled Affluent Professional @feelsdesperate, "Does the median lib understand this? If state and local authorities in Minnesota cooperated in handing over CONVICTED CRIMINALS to the feds none of what’s happening would be necessary." Quote captive dreamer @captive_dreamer "When ICE shows up in Texas, they go to the local jail and take these people into custody. When they arrive in Minneapolis, they've got to go door knocking because the local police have been told to not cooperate with feds." CIS, Minneapolis School Officials Are Shielding Illegal Aliens from ICE ... and Opening Themselves Up to Federal Felony Prosecutions.

Ben Smith at LI, DOJ Subpoenas Walz, Frey Over Alleged ICE Obstruction and Reckless Rhetoric. ‘Mayor Frey and Governor Walz have to get their city under control. They are encouraging impeding and assault against our law enforcement..” Erick Florack at PJM explains The Reason Walz Is Declaring War on the Federal Government "He’s, in fact, trying to start a civil war, in an effort to protect himself from the consequences of the laws he’s already broken. Mind, this has nothing to do with Renee Good, or anyone else. It’s all about Walz trying to stay both in office and out of jail." Matt Vespa, Here's What a CNN Host Said About Tim Walz That Left Scott Jennings Stunned. "JENNINGS: “They have literally both said ICE leave Minnesota. In fact, Tim Walz said, we’re on the third day of Gettysburg at one point.” PHILLIP: “He did not say that either. Okay, sorry, but he didn’t say that.”" Yes he did. From Twitchy, Tiffany Cross Accuses Pete Seat of Lying About CNN's MN Report — Then the Clip Plays and Exposes Her. Thomas Hern @ThomasMHern, "Why does CNN keep inviting Tiffany Cross back on their network to lie? Pete Seat accurately references CNN's 4PM report on Minneapolis agitators. Tiffany Cross flips out and falsely accuses Pete Seat of misrepresenting the report and being in a cult, Abby Phillips does nothing. Watch the exchange with the 4pm report included and decide for yourself who is lying." Driscoll, “IS THE NEW YORK TIMES A LIBERAL NEWSPAPER? OF COURSE IT IS:” "The Same New York Times That Called Trump a ‘Nazi’ and ‘Fascist’ Objects to THIS Hateful Word for Women. As the article piously reported: In the days since a federal agent killed Renee Good in Minneapolis, Republican officials and conservative commentators have called the 37-year-old white woman “very violent,” a “deranged lunatic woman” and a “domestic terrorist.” Some right-wing influencers have latched onto a different word — or rather an acronym: Ms. Good, they have said, was AWFUL." From Dan McCarthy at RCP, The Trouble With Activism That Abets Law-Breaking. At NYPo the Cherkaskys opine The ICE uproar is a conspiracy calculated to fool Americans "Ordinary Americans are being played — manipulated into dangerous confrontations by politicians and rabble-rousing activists." A video at Hat Hair, Can President Trump Make Minneapolis Great Again? It's doubtful.

Derek Hunt at TownHall asks Why the Hell Should We Care If Democrats Don’t? "I used to feel bad for people in the cities overrun by Democrats’ BLM/ANTIFA Brownshirts; who wants to see their fellow Americans going through hell? But then you realize that these people voted for this, and did so repeatedly. I can have sympathy for someone complaining of a headache, but it quickly fades if I find out they have a habit of hitting themselves in the head with a frying pan. After that, I stop caring completely. We’re too that point with everything Democrats do." From the Chicago Boyz, The Fire Next Time. "It doesn’t take much imagination to conclude that what happened to the J6 protestors would land on any military or law enforcement personnel luckless enough to catch the focused attention and malice of progressives to headlines to brandish and solitary prison cells to fill. The veniality and vengefulness of our current crop of ambitious progressive politicians and administrators guarantees that they would not be able to resist the opportunity to grandstand."

Each Republican is always more Hitler than the previous one. Driscoll, SOCIALISTS NATIONALLY BEGIN SEARCHING FOR THEIR NEXT HITLER: Jim Acosta Helps Dems Make the Pivot to ‘JD Vance Is Worse Than Trump’ (Plus: Get the TDS Straitjacket!). Curtis Houck@CurtisHouck, "Jim Acosta: “[JD Vance is] the future of MAGA. It is a — a — it is a fascist, authoritarian, white nationalist MAGA.” Jennifer Welch: “It’s worse than Trump.” Acosta: “It is worse than Trump.” Welch: “He’s worse.” Acosta: “It’s Trump with staying power. You know, Trump, the other day is, you know, he’s — he’s — he’s asking, am I gonna go to heaven? Am I gonna go to heaven?” Welch: “Yeah.” Acosta: “It must be dawning on him that the sand in — in Dorothy’s hourglass is running out, you know, in the Wizard of Oz.” Welch: “The curtains are closing. . . ”" Sunny @sunnyright, "Fascism is when Donald Trump enforces laws that Barack Obama enforced, but with the key distinction that Democrats are big mad about losing the election and so that makes it fascism."

At Breitbart, Trump Cancels Biden Rules Forcing Banks to Give Loans to Illegals. What a fascist! 

From the Chronic, Trump’s Successes All Point to Avoiding Entanglements. Josh Hammer at Hat Hair wonders Is a Red Line Still a Red Line? in Iran. No Pasaran! claims a Bombshell Revelation! Lexington Institute Explains the Exact Event Which Caused Trump 45 to Want to Acquire Greenland; ADDENDUM: Here Is What Is Wrong with Greenland's Status Quo, "it turns out that in 2017, according to the Lexington Institute's Rebecca Grant, Greenland’s prime minister flew to Beijing and asked China to bankroll new airports, according to The Wall Street Journal. [To its credit,] Denmark stopped the deal. If anything like that happens again, Greenland will be flying a U.S. flag." Tim O'Brien at PJM revisits Denmark’s Dirty Little Secret About Population Control in Greenland. Involuntary sterilizations. Sundance at CTH admires how President Trump Announces New Tariffs Against “EU Leadership” Nations Attempting to Interfere in North American Strategic Defense and Greenland Negotiations. Matt Taibbi at Racket asks If NATO Dies, Do We Really Have to Mourn? "Donald Trump's Greenland-gobbling may mean the end of the Atlanticist dream, which should have ended with the fall of communism."

From Da Signal, Hegseth Declares War on Pentagon Bureaucracy

Stacy McCain has a Radical Vegan Transgender Cult Update: Three ‘Zizians’ Make Court Appearance, in western Maryland.

Betsy Stauffer at LI, Virginia Democrats Vote to Redraw Congressional Map, Target Four-Seat Gain, "The Virginia state Senate passed a constitutional amendment on Friday that, if approved by a statewide referendum, would allow the Democrat-controlled legislature to redraw the state’s congressional maps before voters head to the polls this fall. This move could hand the Democrats four new seats in Congress. The Commonwealth is divided into 11 congressional districts. Democrats currently hold six of those seats, and the GOP, five. If the Democrats’ redistricting efforts are successful, that balance would be transformed into a 10–1 supermajority, all but erasing Republican representation." That would make them worse than Maryland.

Victory Girls envy Kamala Harris’s turn as Marie Antoinette "Former vice president Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff purchased an $8 million mansion in an exclusive oceanside Malibu neighborhood last month. The move came after Harris spent years warning that such communities could be threatened by the “climate crisis.” A real estate listing for the mansion, reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, says the luxury pad is “perched in a prime coastal location” with “breathtaking ocean views.” The property sits right near a coastline that—according to climate scenarios endorsed by Harris—is at risk of facing extreme flooding. A climate model issued by the Biden-Harris administration determined that Point Dume State Beach, the beach a short walk from Harris’s new property, would be severely damaged by sea level rise even under the model’s most modest projections." So they'll have a nice cliffside view of the rising seas?

From NYPo, House, feds probe to unravel mystery of ‘Squad’ Rep. Ilhan Omar’s skyrocketing wealth: ‘It’s not possible’ I wonder how many 'day cares' or 'transportation services' she is co-owner of.

At Twitchy, Video of BBC Reporter Trying to Lecture Elon Musk About 'Misinformation' Has Aged WONDERFULLY. RCP wonders If Britain Bans X, How Far Will It Go To Block Free Speech?

TCW, DEI and a stark admission – it’s a war against straight white males.

Flotsam and Jetsam - The Mess in Minneapolis Continues

The events in Minneapolis are still where the action is. At LifeZette, ‘MN Mom’ Liberal Narratives Destroyed as New ‘Dancing Car Horn’ Video Emerges. Matt Margolis at PJM explains how Yes, Renee Good’s Actions Meet the Legal Definition of Domestic Terrorism. Matt Whitlock @MattWhitlock, "Look at the training “MN Ice Watch” (which Renee Good belonged to) gives: They train activists to assault law enforcement, to swarm, pressure, and open their car doors. And they say each “de-arrest” is a “micro-intifada.” Do with that what you will. H/t @StrackHaley." Dan McLaughlin at NRO identifies The Problem Isn’t ICE. It’s ICE Watch. Da Mail is pleased to reports the Widow and son of ICE shooting victim Renee Nicole Good become MILLIONAIRES thanks to tidal wave of GoFundMe donations. Hamas pays the families of suicide bombers, too. CIS, Death During ICE Operation in Minneapolis Underscores, Deepens Immigration Divide "Listen to the career cop turned ‘border czar’; he knows that waiting for official judgments are what we do in a Republic of ‘laws, not men’." 

John Sexton at Hat Hair says White Lives Matter, or at least white lesbians. "It occurred to me yesterday that what we're seeing online and in the streets in reaction to the shooting of Renee Good is very familiar. And then it occurred to me why. What we're seeing is the Black Lives Matter playbook." Driscoll at Insty, UNEXPECTEDLY: NYT’s Kristof Equates Iconic Tiananmen Tank Man to a Commie Karen in an SUV Trying to Run Over ICE Agents. Sean Davis @seanmdav "The ICE officer is the one who got run over, and the stupid commie lesbian is the one driving the vehicle, you dummy. Analogies: how do they work?" Anna Khachiyan @annakhachiyan, "They assume they’re protected by the same system they seek to dismantle because they have a fanatical belief in their own moral superiority but also because they have no reason to assume otherwise as we live in a relatively safe and comfortable society where luxury beliefs like theirs are tolerated unlike in actual communist countries." Quote Wokal Distance @wokal_distance, "I'm not commenting directly on the actual ice/lady incident. However, one thing that's become clear is that leftists think they have veto power over any attempt to enforce laws they dislike, and that law enforcement must defer to their discretion regardless of what the law says." Jeff Blehar is *BOX OFFICE POISON* @EsotericCD, "There is a vast swathe of people on the activist left who either explicitly or implicitly deny the legal authority of ICE to exist and do what it does - either out of ignorance but more often simply because they believe it to be "unrighteous." They remind me of nobody so much as "sovereign citizen" types. (Their arguments are of that caliber.) The problem is there are exponentially more of them."Althouse finds "We've seen it since the 1960s.... Police violence lands on this country in a tinderbox fashion." "Says David French on the new episode of the Advisory Opinions podcast (transcript and audio at Podscribe)," and who manages to completely ignore the fact that Renee Good was shot in the act of running down an ICE agent. At Hat Hair, Josh Hammer decries The Moral Blackmailing of the American People. Ace, Iran And Minneapolis...They Are Nothing Alike! Right Angle News Network @Rightanglenews, "BREAKING - This man is going viral after revealing that the last woman shot by Minneapolis police was a White woman named Justine Damond, who was killed by a Somali officer after she called for help, and not a single Democrat spoke out or protested." Sundance at CTH hosts Sunday Talks: Border Czar Tom Homan -vs- NBC Kirsten Welker and Sunday Talks: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem -vs- Jake Tapper.

Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius, "It's time to recognize the extraordinary skill and professionalism of ICE. Faced with legions of leftist subtards criminally attempting to disrupt and block ICE's every lawful move, there has thus far been only one fatality, and that was a case of a violent leftist subtard being eliminated only while in the process of attempting to murder an ICE agent. It's astonishing that the fatalities have been so low. Thanks ICE. You guys are real pros." From ET, 3,200 Percent Increase in Vehicular Attacks Against ICE Officers: DHS. Ward Clark at RedState hears the Crowd-for-Hire Boss Says He Wants Nothing to Do With 'Any Form of Illegal Protest' in Minneapolis. Elon Musk @elonmusk, "Same professional protestor found at 100 different protests." Quote Defiant L’s @DefiantLs, "Jan 11"She is a professional protester. I found her at almost 100 different protests. Let's look at her portfolio..." At Twitchy, 'From This Angle' - Hilarious Memes Take on The Minnesota ICE Incident. A Well_Armed Lamb @AWell_ArmedLamb, "From this angle it very clear the balrog was not trying to pass and just panicked as the wizard broke the bridge out under its feet."



Nick Ballasy at JTN reports Iran security forces have killed at least 496 people as opposition protests continue. From Lawrence Person's BattleSwarm Blog, Iran: IRGC Commanders Assassinated; U.S., Israeli Help Expected UPDATED. Trent Telenko @TrentTelenko, "Okay folks, we have to say at this point what is driving the uprising in Iran isn't the strength of the protests. It is the WEAKNESS OF THE IRANIAN STATE. Basij commander Shoushtari's killing is the neon sign of Mullah-ocracy weakness. It had to be an inside job, reasons. This means we need to talk about Russia's LAST PLANE OUT OF TEHRAN." From RCD, Tehran's Trojan Horse. Nioh Berg @NiohBerg, "Right now islamic regime media is posting videos from Soleimani's funeral procession 6 years ago and presenting them as a rally today. They're also showing other old footage with trees in full bloom despite it being winter and January. Propaganda efforts 1/10." From Fox, Trump has historic chance to help topple Iran's America-hating regime. "With unrest spreading across Iran, the US should consider cyber tools, better VPN access and targeted sanctions to help protesters challenge the regime." News Wax hears Trump Team Weighs Military Options as Iran Unrest Escalates. A Driscoll post at Insty ask IS THIS WHY THE MEDIA ISN’T COVERING THE IRAN PROTESTS? Tahmineh Dehbozorgi @DeTahmineh, "The Western liberal media is ignoring the Iranian uprising because explaining it would force an admission it is desperate to avoid: the Iranian people are rebelling against Islam itself, and that fact shatters the moral framework through which these institutions understand the world. . . " Ari Paul @AriDavidPaul, "Just realized majority of the west thinks Iranian people are Muslim…this explains a lot. I think BBC etc have been so reluctant to report on this because it breaks the “identity” narrative. The Marxist framing is that people are reduced to a singular identity. Iranian=muslim=minority=oppressed. And that stands against Israel=white=jews. Except Iran is majority non-Muslim (according to every poll not run by Iran’s brutal government.) And the indigenous peoples are burning mosques in objection to their colonization and oppression. And Israel has a sizable Muslim and Arab citizenry, not to mention sizable populations of black and brown Jews. Iran’s revolution completely breaks their worldview." I certainly didn't know it. At NYPo, U-Haul plows into massive crowd at Iran protest in LA — as demonstrators attack driver, chaotic video shows. "The rental truck, which had the words “NO SHAH. NO REGIME. USA: DON’T REPEAT 1953. NO MULLAH” emblazoned on one side, was swarmed by protesters as tensions quickly escalated, according to harrowing footage obtained by KABC" so I think we can rule out an accident. 


VodkaPundit at Insty has some PERSPECTIVE: "Stalin’s Red Army required just 820 days from the end of the Battle of Stalingrad to capture Berlin — a distance of about 1,380 miles, fighting the entire way. In the 1,418 days since Russia’s the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, their forces hold nothing further than 25-50 miles from the territories captured in 2014. Winning? Losing? I don’t know. But I’m damn sure that 1,418 days of this is a pointless, stupid waste."

Jeff Davidson at TownHall is all Greenland or Bust: The Compelling Case for Acquisition. Sundance has an interesting take, U.K Asks Germany and France, EU NATO, to Support Expanded Presence in Greenland. "Seriously folks, you would think that after all this time the Europeans would finally understand how President Trump manipulates the media cycle and gets them to do exactly what he wants – while they and the majority of their constituents think it’s exactly the opposite. This stuff is just too funny now."

Sundance, Bessent Is Angry – Minnesota Governor Walz Refused to Provide Any Security for Treasury Secretary. An interview with Chris Rufo. At Am Great Thad McCotter says The Democrats’ ‘Affordability’ is a Ploy to Avoid Accountability "Democrats smashed the economy with trillion-dollar spending, then cry “affordability” while blaming the cleanup crew—hoping voters forget who swung the sledgehammer." 

From Da Blaze, 'A giant step back': Liberals rage against red meat after new food pyramid guidelines release. At the Snowdon (no, not that Snowdon) Substack Anti-alcohol academics smoked out "An attempt to rig the US's drinking guidelines has failed spectacularly."



Betsy McCaughey at Hat Hair looks at the The Geniuses in Congress -- That's a Joke. "Ten members ended 2025 with stock market returns far exceeding the S&P, the Dow, the Nasdaq or what legendary stock pickers like Warren Buffet achieve. Rep. Tim Moore (R-N.C.) earned 52% on his stock portfolio; New York's Tom Suozzi (D), representing parts of Queens and the Long Island "gold coast," scored a 35% gain. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is closing out her Congressional career with a staggering 33% stock profit for 2025." At Breitbart, Former SNL Star Bowen Yang Warns Democrats Not to ‘Waste Your Money’ on Jasmine Crockett’s Senate Run.



TNP, British Government Regulator May Ban X Within Days. Insty, THEY ONLY WANT CURATED GARDENS OF LEFTY HATE: Amy Curtis @RantyAmyCurtis, "That these people want to ban X in their countries but tolerate BlueSky says all you need to know." Quote Mike Reader MP @mike_reader, "I'm pausing my use of X. You can still follow me and engage with me on Facebook, LinkedIn and BlueSky."

At Insty, TRIGGERNOMETRY INTERVIEWS GREG GUTFELD (Video): "Exit quote: “For a long time, we were—using the Dean Wormer analogy from Animal House—we were Dean Wormer, the evil head of the college, and the left was Animal House. I always felt my role was to somehow flip that. And that’s what you’re seeing now: the scolds, the humorless people—the Karens of the world—are on the left. The people on the right are the ones having fun, being a bit reckless here and there, but that’s part of free speech. We’re sharing the risk. We’re not scared anymore. And I think that’s really the answer to your question.”"

Flotsam and Jetsam - Guard Shooter Identified as Afghan Asylee, Fani Willis' Cases Dropped

Following up on last night's news that two National Guard soldiers patrolling Washington D.C. were shot and critically wounded, while the suspect was shot and apprehended. Fox, 2 National Guardsmen critically wounded in 'targeted shooting' blocks from White House. Mary Chastain at LI, ‘Targeted Shooting’: Two National Guardsmen Shot Near White House During Ambush. "Both men were from West Virginia." One was a woman. From Da Mail, DC National Guard shooting suspect identified as Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal who came to US during botched 2021 withdrawal. Beege Welborn at Hat Hair, Shooter Identified as Illegal Afghan National UPDATE. Technically he was not illegal, he was granted asylum in March 2025. Clearly, Trump didn't fire enough people fast enough. Sister Toldja at RedState says the Paper Trail Behind Suspect in D.C. NG Terrorist Attack Points Directly to Joe Biden. MAZE @mazemoore, "August, 2021. Biden says that anyone being brought to America will undergo a thorough screening and vetting. After telling this falsehood, Biden criticizes Trump's refugee policies." At Althouse, "[T]he suspect in custody is a foreigner who entered our country from Afghanistan, a hellhole on earth. He was flown in by the Biden administration..." "Said President Trump, last night." Scott McClallen at TownHall hears Trump Orders Re-Vetting of Afghani Immigrants After D.C. Shooting of Two National Guardsmen. Good luck with that. Like the Taliban is going to send us their paperwork, if they even have it. Sister Toldja outraged by The Sick Media Clip on the Military and 'Illegal Orders' Folks Are Pointing to After NG Terrorist Attack. Greg Price @greg_price11, "Sen. Elissa Slotkin went on TV last Sunday and claimed that National Guardsmen were going to start shooting at American civilians.

InfantryDort @infantrydort, "For the deaf and hard of hearing referencing what the 6 lawmakers SPECIFICALLY said that deviates it from an innocent civics reminder: 1.” Trust is at risk” — No event or threat justifies this. 2. “Pitting troops against citizens” — An unfounded, destabilizing claim. 3. “We have your back” — False, unless it’s with thoughts, prayers, and tweets. Troops bear all legal risk if they refuse an order. 4. “Don’t give up the ship” — A dying battle command, not legal guidance. They took their words off the congressional floor and into the country.

Then the "progressive" judge stepped in an invalidated the verdict, saying that in her personal opinion, the prosecutors had not disproven other possibilities besides fraud, like, I guess, the possibility that they accidentally stole this money and intended to deliver it to the poor at some future date. (Were they planning on returning their luxury goods and cars? How much did they expect to get back for used luxury goods?)"

It seems something is happening with regard to the war in Ukraine, but it's not clear what. John Sexton at Hat Hair sees After Many Changes, US and Ukraine Are Closer to Agreement on Peace Plan. Niall Ferguson @nfergus, "The best is the enemy of the good. Contrary to recent press speculation, the draft 28-point plan for peace in Ukraine is in fact a reasonable basis for negotiations. Journalists can gripe about it as they griped about the 20-point Gaza plan. But wars are not ended by op-eds. 1/5" Am Great's Fred Fleitz calls The Trump/MBS Summit Another Huge Trump Foreign Policy Win. Misty Severi at JTN reports Trump says he will visit China in April, on invitation from President Xi Jinping.

From OTP, DOJ Asks Judges To Authorize Release Of Epstein And Maxwell Grand Jury Material. "Asks judges to authorize release of Epstein, Maxwell grand jury material." They won't get it.

Stephen Kruiser at PJM sees Marjorie Taylor Greene Is Keeping It Weird Until the End. From Ace, MAGA Grifter Majorie Taylor Greene to Resign Mid-Term, Imperiling Republican Majority, "She's resigning in January 2026 -- not January 2027, when her term ends -- and her seat will be filled by a special election, which may or may not go the GOP way, and whose timing depends on Trump opponent Gov. Brian Kemp to schedule. Many note that the date of her resignation just happens to coincide with the date required to secure her five-year Congressional pension." She may be many things, but she's not stupid. 

Kurt Schlichter at TownHall thinks They Will Never Understand Donald Trump.

Ryan Fournier @RyanAFournier, "Yesterday, Elon Musk used his 229 MILLION strong megaphone to back four basic election safeguards: - Voter ID - Paper ballots - Same-day voting - Proof of citizenship This isn’t “extreme.” It’s common sense. This needs to be the GOP’s #1 mission. Lock down our elections, restore trust in the system, and make it impossible for the Left to cheat their way into power."

Sunny @sunnyright, "Here's how the game is played: Democratic judge rules for Democrats in unprecedented, activist way: Media celebrates rule of law from obviously impartial judge protecting justice Panel of Republican-majority judges overturn, and restore previous norm universally accepted until like 2 minutes ago: Media questions if rule of law has been corrupted by REPUBLICAN!!! judges who obviously are motivated by politics and bowing to Trump Every time.

The other guy is just a thief." Quote Bernard Stanford @stanfordNYC, "One man "paid the price" by having his identity stolen, costing him tens of thousands of dollars and making his life hell. The other "paid the price" by being arrested and charged for the crime he knowingly committed. One of the craziest framings of a story I've ever seen."

Flotsam and Jetsam - X 'Glitch' Exposes Foreign Propagandists

Let's see what washed up over the weekend. In the funnest story from the weekend, Fox X's new location feature exposes apparent fraudster accounts posing as Americans, Gaza journalists "Popular accounts with hundreds of thousands of followers deleted and scrutinized after being revealed as overseas operations." Pirate Wires, Foreign Rage Farmers Exposed by X in Major Update "X just revealed the location of every user on the platform, triggering chaos among foreign rage farmers and slop peddlers — the massive ranks of which have shaped our culture now for years." Rage farmers, I like that. A Driscolly post at Insty, WHOA: Major Foreign Propagandists Utterly Exposed After X Glitch Reveals Account Locations. "A temporary glitch on X led to a credibility bloodbath for a variety of foreign propaganda accounts that were either posing as Americans or lying about their locations in other ways. Days prior, Head of Product Nikita Brier had announced a new feature revealing the origin and current location of users. When it rolled out, though, only account owners could view it. That all changed on Friday night, though. In what is assumed to have been a mistake, everyone’s origins and current locations were made public for about an hour before disappearing. In one instance, it was revealed that one of Hamas’ biggest simps has been lying about being in Gaza." And Insty himself, AS MUCH OF A SCAM AS THE TIKI-TORCH NAZIS WERE: Shaun Maguire @shaunmmaguire, "Greatest feature in a decade. Everything is an Op." Clandestine @WarClandestine, "So it turned out a large chunk of the Jew-hating crowd were foreigners, posing as Americans. It’s almost like the woke-Right is just an astroturfed foreign op to fracture MAGA from within. Israel derangement syndrome is a psyop to make Trump’s supporters turn on him." Herr Professor Jacobson at LI, Foreign Fake MAGA Anti-Israel Accounts Exposed In X “Location” Disclosure, "Now we know that it was all a massive foreign influence operation of fake MAGA accounts meant not to promote Trump, but to turn Americans against Jews and Israel and to sow chaos and division among actual Trump supporters." Robby Soave @robbysoave, "I was reflexively disinclined to believe it was all foreign accounts promoting racism and anti-Semitism under the guise of the pro-Trump America First banner. That sounded too easy, and similar to the (now debunked) idea that all the Trump content on Facebook in 2016 was actually Russian bots. But... this "account based in" feature actually has unmaked tons of groypers as Pakistani, as far as I can tell? Very useful feature, and kudos to Elon Musk and the X team for implementing it. The hate is not coming from inside the house!"

Matt Boose at the Chronic says Trump Already Has an Affordability Agenda: Reduce Immigration. It's a step, an important step, but not the only step. I&I, About That ‘Sh*tty’ Trump Economy. "If this is what constitutes a “sh*tty economy”, then we’ll take more of it. From our perspective, it’s not Trump’s policies that are a problem (although we are not fans of tariffs), it’s his seeming unwillingness to stay focused on the economy." USA Today opines I was right about the pathetic Democrats. And most Americans agree with me. "A new poll found that in the end, Americans blamed Democrats the most for how they handled the shutdown, with 60% disapproving. Come next year's midterms, voters won't forget it." But just remember, in a poll result like that, about half of those disapproving will think Democrats didn't go far enough. Betsey McCaughey at Hat Hair, says Beware Housing Bills With Socialist Goals.

Dave Harsanyi at NYPo calls the Epstein vote a stain on cowardly Congress — whose members won’t stand up for the rule of law. Congress is already pretty stained. At Althouse, "The smart need money; the rich want to seem smart; the staid seek adjacency to what Mr. Summers called 'life among the lucrative and louche'..." ""... and Mr. Epstein needed to wash his name using blue-chip people who could be forgiving about infractions against the less powerful. Each has some form of capital and seeks to trade. . . Writes Anand Giridharadas, in "How the Elite Behave When No One Is Watching: Inside the Epstein Emails" (NYT)". Mediaite reports Marjorie Taylor Greene Didn’t Tell Speaker Johnson She’s Resigning Amid Razor-Thin GOP Majority. Some reports suggest she left over Epstein, but the smart money is because Trump wouldn't support her for GA gov.

Moving to foreign affairs, Sundance hosts Secretary of State Marco Rubio's Press Conference from Geneva Switzerland During Discussions with Ukraine Officials and Sunday Talks – Senator Mark Warner Not Happy with Ukraine Peace Proposal. Ward Clark at RedState sees A New Wrinkle: SecState Distances U.S. From 'Unacceptable' Ukraine Proposal. Althouse, "Is it really possible that big progress is being made in Peace Talks between Russia and Ukraine??? Don’t believe it until you see it..." ""... but something good just may be happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA." Wrote Trump, on Truth Social." I'm confused, but only time will tell. Lee Smith at Tablet says Farewell to the Abraham Accords "MBS’s White House visit marked a return to normalcy in the Middle East, and a U.S. pivot toward China." I don't know if I agree. Sarah Anderson at PJM sees The Skies Empty Over Caracas As the Dictator Dances. For Af's, Elliott Abrams explains How to Topple Maduro "And Why Regime Change Is the Only Way Forward in Venezuela."

Sundance says I Fully Support Donald Trump Because the Alternative Is to Support a Republican. I understand his point, but it's not that bad. There is only one Trump, and he can't stay in office forever. Sasha Stone, MAGA Might be Chaos, but the Left is an Unhinged, Dystopian, Doomsday Cult. Thad McCotter at Am Great looks at The Progressives’ Practical Amorality: ‘Reid Alert!’ "Harry Reid’s false attack on Mitt Romney endures as the template for a progressive movement that wins by bending language, ignoring truth, and blaming others when its policies fail."

Larry Elder at Hat Hair is not amused by Michelle's 'Hair'-Raising Theory: 'White Folks' Stop Blacks From Learning How To Swim.

Sundance at CTH sees CIA Senator Elissa Slotkin Attempts to Change Conversation Away from Seditious Video Promotion Twitchy, GRRL, BYE: Elissa Slotkin Accuses Trump of Putting Words in Her Mouth and HOOBOY Was THAT Stupid. Shipwreckedcrew thinks DOJ Should Begin A Criminal Investigation Of The Democrat Members Of Congress Appearing on Video To Undermine The Military Chain-Of-Command. "18 U.S.C. Sec. 2387 makes it illegal to advise, counsel or in any manner cause insubordination or refusal of duty by any member of the military." Let the process be the punishment. 

Sundance thinks there's Something Sketchy About Narrative Underway Against Deputy AG Todd Blanche. Tom Knighton at BA laughs because Mother Jones and The Trace Are Very Upset That DOJ Is Defending All Civil Rights Now. At TownHall, Scott McLallen likes the way Scott Jennings Blasts Kara Swisher for Calling Hunter Biden Laptop Cover-Up Just 'Politics' and Jeff Charles notes She Punched a Pro-Life Activist and Avoided Charges – but It's Not Over Yet. At the Chi Trib an Editorial: A woman was set on fire on the Blue Line. Chicago can’t shrug this off.

Ryan King at NYPo reports Trump vows to designate Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization. From Twitchy, Somali Sheriff in Minnesota Just Called American Officers ‘Foreigners’ and Said He Serves Somalis First. Josh Hammer at Hat Hair explores What Is an American? AG @AGHamilton29, "Reminder Keith Ellison met with the culprits behind the $240 million Feeding our Future MN fraud scheme before they were charged and then he and his son took donations from them amid promises to deter the investigation. We have audio of that meeting." Nick Ballasy at JTN hears DOJ say an investigation underway into pro-Palestinian group surrounding Park East Synagogue. "Dhillon pointed out that obstructing access to a house of worship is a federal offense." From Calling All Rushbabes, Thank you, Secretary of State Rubio! English commentator on our State Department policy toward “international migration.” The FOO @PolitiBunny, "Measles is back because Biden allowed millions of unvetted and unvaccinated illegals into the country." Quote Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock @SenatorWarnock "Secretary Kennedy has spent his time in office spreading doubt about vaccines. Now measles is back." At Shooting News Week, Trump Redirecting BSCA Grant Money Away From ‘Gun Violence’ NGOs to Fund Deportation of Illegals.

From the College Fix, U. Texas professors ponder exit due to academic freedom worries: ‘unbearable,’ ‘unwelcoming place’ "SB 17 forbids diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) offices in system schools as well as various DEI-related trainings and programs. U. Texas closed its Gender and Sexuality Center last year in response to the law. According to a survey by the student paper The Daily Texan, approximately 60 percent of over 430 (mainly undergraduate) professors said they have “considering leaving” UT due to SB 17, which includes 75 percent of College of Liberal Arts faculty." Great, now git! I suspect they can find some candidates who are not political hacks. Campus Reform remembers 5 times deranged leftists attacked conservative campus tables.

Dmitri Bolt at TownHall reports a Trump Ordered Report finds Experts Say No Evidence Supports Gender Treatments for Kids. Critics will, of course, say it was biased, but after the clowns and criminals in the Biden administration, I am not concerned.
