“Senator Grassley is *not* opposed to the SAVE Act”….
Are you sure?….
given the state of our “courts” – we would need at least 2 years to have this act take effect, if it ever even passed.
Why wouldn’t it be federal law?
For Federal elections
Passing the SAVE Act is critical since illegals can vote without consequence if “they believe themselves to be US Citizens when they vote” according to True the Vote. This was news to me.

“if they believe themselves to be US citizens when they vote” . . .
don’t people need to be reasonably intelligent?
Well some of them think they are the opposite sex.
Some consider themselves to be animals, too. They should be made to eat only pet foods.
no
Well then, if I believe myself to be a billionaire, I should then find billions in my bank account.
Trump needs to say that any non citizen who appears on the voter=rolls will be eligible for immediate deportation. They will have to check to make sure they are not.
Legal residents know they are now allowed to vote and if you are receiving mail from the state on elections, you have a problem.
Being a U.S. Citizen is “a state of mind”!!!
IF it’s true you support it, then shut your yap and VOTE for it, old man.
A day late and a dollar short Grassley is waiting to vote on this after the mid terms. He never does anything in a timely manner. Everything he releases is always released after its period of greatest political effect has passed. Just retire already.
Grassley has been an elected politician for 66 years–he was elected to Iowa State reps in 1959 and has just progressed up the ladder to the US Senate. 66 years!!
ICE protests funded NGOs….
the rabbit hole of marxist funding goes deeper still
An extensive review of public court filings reveals the extent to which the BIDEN-WRAY FBI relied upon these Sedition Hunters to build their cases, with the FBI even acknowledging in at least one instance that some of these online sleuths had been paid informants.
“The impact we had is huge,” Chris told the author. “Huge!”
Anti-Trump cyber sleuths — some paid — cited at least 63 times by FBI
A number of court filings from 2021 and 2022 also specifically state that the FBI had received or obtained information from Sedition Hunters.
An extensive review of public court filings reveals the extent to which the BIDEN FBI relied upon these Sedition Hunters to build their cases, with the FBI even acknowledging in at least one instance that some of these online sleuths had been paid informants.
NPR reported in August 2021 that “Sedition Hunters are mentioned by name in at least 13 cases.”
IEEE Spectrum — a magazine published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers — said in January 2023 that “websites such as Jan6attack.com and Sedition Hunters provided a forum for ordinary people in the United States and around the world to analyze and speculate (sometimes correctly, sometimes wrongly) on the identity of rioters” and assessed that “the FBI cited such efforts in 63 legal documents.”
The Sedition Hunters’ assistance to the FBI has been well known, though the amount of money handed to its members in return for acting as confidential human sources will likely be a major revelation to Congress.
Ryan Reilly, a DOJ reporter at NBC News, wrote a 2023 book titled Sedition Hunters which effusively praised the online sleuths, and also made it clear that some of them had entered into formalized informant relationships with the bureau. The publisher’s website for the book does not disclose that some of these informants were paid, or even if Reilly knew about the financial incentives.
Trump haters still at it.
A long read “Patel told Just the News that the release of the documents was part of a larger effort by the FBI to ensure all evidence of law-enforcement and weaponization is made public and given to congressional oversight committees after years of it being withheld or hidden under past directors.
“Under my leadership, the FBI is producing documents at record speed to get the facts straight to the American people. What occurred in the Arctic Frost matter was an egregious abuse of power and violation of the law. This FBI is committed to restoring accountability and public trust,” he said.
There have long been rumors of an informant that the FBI used to build the Arctic Frost case, and the new memos are certain to spur intrigue as to the person’s identity and whether they were a Trump insider.
Arctic Frost has generated controversy because it secured an order from U.S. District Judge Boasberg that let the executive branch, in the form of Smith’s office, obtain the phone records of eight U.S. senators and one congressman and swept up information from hundreds of conservative figures and groups.
At least two of the members of Congress — South Carolina GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham and Tennessee GOP Sen. Marsha Blackburn — have vowed to sue the DOJ for piercing their congressional privilege and privacy protected by the separation of powers clause of the U.S. Constitution. And other Republican lawmakers have raised concerns that the probe swept up too much information too broadly without regard for the Fourth Amendment, essentially resembling a fishing expedition instead of a targeted probe.
Two former Trump lawyers whose phone records were taken called the revelations disturbing and an interference in the ability of lawyers to represent their clients.
“When the government targets private citizens just for representing Donald Trump, they’re blatantly ignoring the Fourth Amendment,” Ellis said. “Jack Smith’s Arctic Frost operation crossed a constitutional red line, and everyone involved should be held accountable.”
Ellis and Mitchell called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to immediately investigate the new documents.
“To learn that the Biden Regime used confidential informants to invade the election integrity movement that I have been leading for the past 5 years is absolutely shocking,” she said. “But it is hardly surprising. The Biden Regime from Biden on down via Merrick Garland, Christopher Wray and Jack Smith demonstrated over and over their disdain for the Constitution and the protections it affords to citizens.
“As a private citizen, and an election lawyer, I have been dedicated to honest elections for my entire career,” she added. “To think that these evil Biden cronies were intent upon spying on me, my colleagues and associates because of my concerns about the 2020 election and the election system – having no predicate whatsoever of criminal acts on my part is grounds for investigating each of them.”

We need reform of our charitable organization laws. Charity should be defined as providing food, shelter, healthcare, and mental health services only. They also should be required to provide at least 70% of all monies to these needs. And, there should be no such thing as an NGO if all it is is a money laundry for pet projects.
75% or more.
Of course, the U.S. Citizen is paying for ICE Law Enforcement to be harassed, intimidated and bothered for no good reason.
In working on this morning’s crossword in the “Wall Street Journal” this morning (today’s crossword is titled “The Famous Mr. Ed”), I see that 44 Across is asking for “shipping map division” and I know that the answer is “zone” because of course in logistics, you need to have the real time zone for that “shipping map division” . . .
I am really looking forward to someday someone asking President Xi during a press conference, “why do you have this bizarre insistence in the People’s Republic of China on designating EVERY time zone as one time zone? If someone says the REAL time in a particular zone, do they get thrown in the laogai?”

Ace of Spades HQ: Of Course: Jihadist Muslim Antifa AG Keith Ellison Prosecuted Christians for Protesting Outside a Mosque Under the FACE Act, but Insists His Left-Wing Antifa Thug Buddies Have an Inviolable Right to Storm Christian Churches
Chuck Ross @ChuckRossDC
ABOUT FACE:
Minnesota AG Keith Ellison has called for the use of the FACE Act to prosecute protests at mosques, according to @FreeBeacon
review.
Now, Ellison insists the FACE Act shouldn’t apply to Don Lemon and comrades’ storming of a church.
I should mention: the two mosque cases involved protesters *outside* the mosques.
Don Lemon and friends did their thing *inside* the church.” …….
Denying core Rights to classes of citizens is another trigger for the Insurrection Act.
Too bad Democrats control the DOJ. And I don’t mean Todd Blanche.
Ellison is an enemy to America. He should receive the severest penalty under law for such. Sadly, the law doesn’t exist to protect the innocent. It exists to protect the guilty and prosecute the innocent.

JUST IN: House Oversight Committee Votes to Charge Clintons with Criminal Contempt For Defying Congressional Subpoenas

Waste of time like the Epstein debacle. No DC jury will convict Bill Clinton. President Trump will lose political capital on a losing proposition. This is not the hill to die on! 🤔
It’d be a mistake to prosecute him. Doing so only appeals to a small group of older voters. The young people we need to win elections don’t care and will think it is a waste of time and a distraction from doing anything about issues that are important to them. It’ll work out just like the impeachment-dems will gain popularity.
OR it might just energize a whole bunch of republican voters who are tired of seeing detritus like the clintons flaunt their criminality in our faces with impunity and blatant hubris.
DC Jury and DC Judge is a recipe for failure! Why waste your time?
Go back to sleep
“Mistake”?
> Prosecution and punishment for high crimes and misdemeanors is NO MISTAKE.
“Small group of older voters”?
> That small group numbers in the millions if not tens of millions, all whom watched Clinton scum rape and pillage America since Billy boy was installed as AR governor.
“Young people we need to win elections don’t care”?
> If they don’t care then they’re not really paying attention to the cast of criminals who made America a sh*t hole. And if they’re not paying attention to what went on before, they can’t really understand what’s going on now and why it’s important to prosecute and punish ALL the evildoers that STARTED this crap.
Exactly! We need to move on with the things that matter.

Immigration-Related Criminal Offenses
The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) governs the
admission, removal, and presence of non-U.S. nationals
(aliens). Congress has established criminal sanctions for
certain conduct that undermines immigration rules.
Immigration-related cases make up a significant portion of
the federal criminal caseload. See U.S. SENTENCING
COMMISSION, FISCAL YEAR 2018 OVERVIEW OF FEDERAL
CRIMINAL CASES 12 (2019). Immigration-related crimes
generally cover three categories of conduct: (1) improper
entry and reentry; (2) the smuggling, transporting, and
harboring of aliens; and (3) immigration-related fraud.
Improper Entry and Illegal Reentry
Unlawfully entering the United States may result in
criminal penalties with enhanced penalties for illegal
reentry.
Improper Entry: 8 U.S.C. § 1325 makes it a criminal
offense to enter or attempt to enter the United States
without authorization. A violation may result in a fine and
imprisonment for up to six months for a first offense and up
to two years for a subsequent violation. An alien may
commit improper entry in three ways:
entering or attempting to enter the United States at any
time or place other than a designated port of entry;
eluding examination or inspection by immigration
officers; or
attempting to enter or obtaining entry by a willfully false
or misleading representation or the willful concealment
of a material fact.
Illegal Reentry: 8 U.S.C. § 1326 makes it a felony for an
alien previously denied admission or removed from the
United States, or who departed the country while an order
of removal was outstanding, to enter, attempt to enter, or be
found in the United States without prior authorization.
Absent certain factors, a conviction carries a punishment of
a fine and a term of imprisonment for up to two years.
Aliens may face enhanced penalties if they were previously
removed or excluded on certain grounds, or had committed
specified crimes. See 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b). In some cases, the
maximum penalty may be up to 20 years’ imprisonment.
To establish that an alien unlawfully entered the United
States, some reviewing courts have held that the alien must
have entered “free from official restraint.” United States v.
Pacheco-Medina, 212 F.3d 1162 (9th Cir. 2000) (reversing
conviction for illegal reentry where the defendant was
immediately apprehended when stepping on U.S. soil and
therefore was never free from official restraint); see also
United States v. Morales-Palacios, 369 F.3d 442 (5th Cir.
2004). But an alien may still be charged with attempting to
unlawfully enter (or reenter) the country. See, e.g., United
States v. Cabral, 252 F.3d 520 (1st Cir. 2001) (upholding
illegal reentry conviction of previously removed alien who
was arrested at port of entry for making a false claim of
residency in an attempt to reenter the country).
Bringing in, Harboring, Transporting, or
Encouraging Aliens
Several provisions in federal law criminalize activities that
involve smuggling aliens into the United States,
transporting aliens within the United States, or otherwise
assisting unlawfully present aliens to remain in the country.
Primarily located in 8 U.S.C. § 1324, these offenses
typically constitute felonies and may sometimes carry
lengthy prison terms, including an enhanced penalty when
the offense is performed for commercial advantage or
private financial gain. In a few instances, such as alien
smuggling offenses resulting in serious harm to or the death
of a person, the maximum available penalty may be life
imprisonment or death. Additionally, any vehicle, vessel, or
aircraft that was used in the commission of the crime or
otherwise traceable to gross proceeds from a violation of 8
U.S.C. § 1324 may be seized and subject to forfeiture.
Humanitarian concerns are not a defense to a charge of
transporting or harboring aliens. United States v. Aguilar,
883 F.2d 662 (9th Cir. 1989); see also Dimova v. Holder,
783 F.3d 30 (1st Cir. 2015) (reasoning that the statute’s
plain language does not contain an exception for
humanitarian assistance).
Smuggling: 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(A)(i) makes it a crime
for any individual to bring or attempt to bring a person to
the United States between ports of entry, knowing that
person is an alien. The individual may be convicted
regardless of whether the smuggled alien had received prior
authorization to enter, come to, or reside in the United
States and regardless of any future official action that might
be taken with respect to the alien. The defendant must have
made an affirmative and knowing act of help or assistance;
an individual’s mere presence during the commission of the
crime is insufficient. See Altamirano v. Gonzalez, 427 F.3d
586 (9th Cir. 2005).
Transporting: To be guilty of the crime of transporting
under 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(A)(ii), a person—knowing or
in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien was not
lawfully in the United States—knowingly transported the
alien for the purpose of helping him or her remain in the
country unlawfully. A person acts with “reckless disregard”
if he or she is aware of but consciously disregards facts and
circumstances indicating that the person being transported
was an alien who had unlawfully entered or remained in the U.S.

And this is just a partial citation.
So….yeah, you’re stuff’s really pathetic.
Like so many other leftist defenders of criminality, you must be getting paid to be here doing what you do.
If they’re here illegally …… they’re criminals.

If Newsom is now in Europe he should be blocked from entering the US again.
Newsom, earlier Wednesday, slammed Trump’s speech at the forum as “remarkably boring,” after the president assured world leaders that he would not use force to seize Greenland.
“It was remarkably insignificant,” he said. “He was never going to invade Greenland. It was never real.”
The White House’s “Rapid Response” X account then posted: “The failing Governor of California (rampant with fraud) watches from the corner cuck chair as @POTUS delivers a true masterclass in Davos. Embarrassing!” along with video of Newsom watching Trump’s speech.

I’ve considered reporting ICE activity in my neighborhood. Half a block away ice is there every day. And every day ice just keeps accumulating. It tends to stay in enclosed areas that have these boards surrounding it so people can’t see ice. I know ice is there because people interact with sticks in their hands while smoothly dancing all around the ice.
That sounds like a puck load of nonsense!

Newsom administration alleges State Department pressure in Davos cancellation
The California governor’s planned appearance at a Wednesday event was canceled at the last moment.
Gavin Newsom was informed at the 11th hour that his talk with Fortune at USA House in Davos was canceled.
Newsom had been invited to speak on Wednesday at an event sponsored by USA House, which for the first time was recognized by the U.S. government as the country’s official headquarters at Davos. But an organizer told his office that they had opted to not include any U.S. officials in the talk focused on CEOs and other business leaders.
In a private exchange of messages obtained by POLITICO, a Newsom administration official accused the USA House of bowing to political pressure from the State Department — an accusation the organizer denied, while emphasizing the governor was still welcome in the venue — in a microcosm of the larger geopolitical tensions on display.
The back-and-forth reflected the political sparring match playing out at the gathering of the world’s elite. Newsom, the Democratic governor of California and a likely 2028 presidential contender, attended to trumpet California as an alternative to the vision laid out by Trump officials who also gathered in Switzerland.
In the exchange, an event organizer denied to a Newsom official that the organization had “un-invited” Newsom or acted under any political imperative. USA House did not immediately respond to POLITICO’s request for comment.
Newsom has planned to use the gathering to excoriate what he casts as the Trump administration’s abuses of power, framing California — and implicitly himself — as a better partner to European allies who are reeling from Trump’s effort to claim Greenland. He challenged European counterparts this week to confront Trump, calling the president “pathetic.”
White House officials have not been shy about punching back. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent mocked the governor from a Davos stage earlier on Wednesday, saying Newsom “may be the only Californian who knows less about economics than Kamala Harris” and warning the Trump administration is “coming to California” to crack down on alleged fraud. Bessent also appeared to hint at the cancellation.
“I was told he was asked to give a speech on his signature policies but he’s not speaking,” Bessent said, “because what have his economic policies brought? Outward migration from California, a gigantic budget deficit, the largest homeless population in America.”
The episode is reminiscent of a spat when Newsom traveled to Washington last month and accused the Trump administration of declining to make an official available for a meeting about California’s longstanding request for more federal wildfire aid.
California has the 4th largest economy in the world, this was an economic summit, and he was invited to speak.
Snubbing him out like this was childish and petty, IMO. You know what they say – that he’s under their skin like this, he is doing something right.

PDT saying again yesterday that he loves the hard working illegals and we are going after criminals. That is not what he campaigned on or what I voted for. Betray his supporters in any way on immigration and there is virtually no reason to support him. Border crossing reductions can be undone at the drop of a hat .
Could you cite the actual quote from Trump where he said that?
Thanks!
https://x.com/VladTheInflator/status/2013987374917906492?s=20
From yesterday. President Trump even hinting of some amnesty for the hard working illegal will not go well with many of his voters. It’s not like Harris would have been any better. I realize that but many of us have voted for him 5 times, including primaries, and have expectations. When he came down the escalator in 2015, I was sold when he said Mexico is not sending their best. Nobody else was talking like that. The other candidates, Lyndsay Graham, Marco, Cruz, Jeb , were all squishes who would have signed an amnesty bill. The only candidate who even discussed immigration besides Trump was Scott Walker, but unfortunately he was not very charismatic.
Is that you, Ann Coulter?
Newsom’s rant was very similar in tone and delivery to Walz’s, wonder why that might be?
On a tangent, just watched the episode of ‘Wonders of the Universe’ where Prof. Brian Cox was explaining the process of the death of a star, as it burns more and more of its core to stop gravity from crushing it and thought, dying star equals globalism, Trump gravity. Gravity always wins, the star has to burn more and more of its newly created core elements and in the end will die and be a shrunken, barely recognisable, parody of its former glory.
There are apparently four stages, each one shorter than the last, so I wonder which one we’re at now.
Anyone else notice the proliferation of leftist trolls pretending to be Trump supporters but saying if he says this or does that then they will not support him?
The same ones who are screaming about how President Trump should invoke the Insurrection Act and griping about what a bad idea it is for the USA to acquire Greenland?

It’s not bad yet. The liberal trolls have totally ruined Johnathan Turely’s site because they know he supports free speech so won’t ban them. It is lie after lie and attack on President Trump after attack on President Trump. Turely is a registered Democrat and they keep lying he is a conservative Republican and Trump’s puppet. If it gets that bad Sundance might have to make everyone register to post. So far they aren’t doing that here but just posting stupid stuff which everyone recognizes for what it is, trolling.
Here’s one.
Same account was running around last week with a case of the sads over President Trump helping Iran.

“Statewide Shutdown in Minnesota planned for Jan. 23 to expel ICE”
So, the commie unions are staging a walkout on a Friday when the high temperature will be -8F, low -16F w/o wind chill?
Uh huh.
What are they going to do, lay out of work on Friday and stay at home watching soap operas?
Which unions are participating?
0.o
I agree….its gonna be too cold to go outside….
They do have a “march” planned, per the article…
“The Truth and Freedom march is sponsored by an array of organizations, from trade unions to faith groups, community organizations like Black Lives Matter and Indivisible, peace groups like Veterans for Peace and Jewish Voice for Peace, and a range of political organizations, including the Communist Party USA and the Democratic Socialists of America.”
And
“What’s key is that the labor movement is mobilizing in large numbers and across various industries, which now include the Minnesota AFL-CIO. National union leaders are also planning to attend Friday’s demonstration, sources told People’s World.”
Deep in the article, is a list of unions participating.
Really? Somehow am not confident for them…
the weather…..Minneapolis weather for Friday night is due for a temp of minus 8 to minus 18, so windchill will be colder.
My ‘hood in IL is expecting minus 8 and windchills to minus 35….
A Brave Search:
I remember *moving* in Madison WI when it was -28F wo wind chill.
Not fun. Roads even get weird.
Black ice.
Dangerous stuff.
Now we have a new ice to worry about? /s
If anyone brings children to this one they should be arrested for child endangerment.
When I lived up there (burbs north of Chicago) I remember -40 windchill at night. If you had a small car you had to put a piece of cardboard in front of your radiator to have heat in the car. And take your battery inside at night so it wouldn’t freeze solid. Don’t miss it a bit.
And I thought hell is hot.
I’m really sensing “cosplay” here – dressing up like a radical, pretending to be one, but most of all trying to PROVOKE “you know who.” I don’t think he’s falling for it. I don’t think he’s going to, either.
These days, everywhere I look I see expensive, professionally produced billboards and signs. These aren’t “protests.” These are engineered. The message is that “America” is melting down before our eyes, and to prevent it we must all do … what they have in mind.
If you want to repeal immigration enforcement, just put on your Minnesota T-shirt and let’s discuss it for one hour. Outside.
Not just unions, but any and every leftist group is invited to join in.
I’m sure there will be mothers with their babies there. Nothing says mommy loves you like making sure your children get frost bitten fingers.
Water cannons.

Trouble at the circus called Canada.
What do you expect an error to the Ford fortune to say?
Americans not just republicans want to see actual arrests.
That’s the FBI, Atty. General and the DOJ. The only arrest powers Congress has is to call people into hearings and ask the DOJ to arrest them if they don’t answer their subpoena or lie.
And we want our money back.
Heartbreaking.
And every leftist who claims that these things also happen with heritage Americans proves that he or she is too stupid to understand that THIS WAS PREVENTABLE.
And preventing it was our government’s job.
“I am moved 0 by the breathless condemnation of ICE. In fact, I want immigration enforcement to be bigger, quicker, and more intense than it currently is.
Why? Because I love my neighbor. I love my country. I love peace. I hate murder and injustice.
NO country should have to live this way. And it can change. But we must have the political will to do what must be done and ignore those who stand in the way.”
WATCH: Trump Tells World Economic Forum the 2020 Election was Stolen and “People will Soon be Prosecuted for What They Did”
FTA – …While critiquing the NATO alliance for treating America “very unfairly,” Trump said NATO would be gone if it weren’t for him, and the war in Ukraine “wouldn’t have started if the 2020 US presidential election weren’t rigged.”
“It was a rigged election. Everybody now knows that. They found out,” he said. “People will soon be prosecuted for what they did.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/01/watch-trump-tells-world-economic-forum-2020-election/
Sick of hearing ‘soon people will be prosecuted.’ Let’s see the prosecutions.
I understand the frustration but at same time – can’t think of single promise President Trump has not kept..or in process of keeping.
BTW, What language do Greenlanders speak / write? Danish, English, Greenlandese?
Greenlandic (Kalaallisutrom) from what I could find, but most speak English or Danish as a second language.

A 6-year old boy was killed in San Diego by an unlicensed lady driver, 32- year old Tiffany Sanchez, in the Pacific Beach neighborhood of Crown Point on Mission Bay this weekend. He was riding his bike in an alley when she turned into the alley and knocked him off the bike, waited a few seconds, then drove off…RUNNING HIM OVER. He was pronounced dead in the ER at Childrens’ Hospital. Hudson O’Laughlin was his name. Sanchez was found in National City, 30 miles away (it is close to the Mexican Border) arrested then released. IMMIGRATION STATUS UNKNOWN. My guess is that the media will never let us know.

Anyone still following the sudden change in the Magnetic North Pole sudd3nly heading for Moscow?
I am still wondering is an axis shift is possible, and could be related to the Greenland interest.
All I can say is, the skies over me this afternoon looked like some maniac decided to paint 40 Scottish flags up there.
Weather warfare. Or defense maybe.
I don’t know which, but it’s time the aerial injection spraying and the weird weather events stop.
Max Velocity has a map on his Twatter showing the impact area for the “Expl0ding Trees” and the area includes Minnesota dead center.

Will most definitely be praying for you.
Stay safe, and have fun in the snow if you’re able!
Well.
Scottish flags reported over East Texas, too, and eastward as far as Alabama.
One of the weather guys, maybe Weatherman Plus or Max Velocity was saying there were going to be ‘hurricane planes’ flying around up in the storms.
Not kidding you guys.
What do you think about that?
Oh and get this, both of those two up there talked about “expl0ding trees”, so I looked it up and sho nuff, it’s a “natural phenomenon” that occurs when the temperature drops severely and the water in the tree expands and makes a LOUD pop that can break branches.
Seriously, go read about it.
What’s weirder is that no old timers or amateur weather weenies have ever heard of it in their entire lives, including me.

When things get really cold, like they will be here in northern Minnesota over the next few days, walls made of stacked blocks will expand and “BOOM!” sound like someone took a sledgehammer to them.
Depending on how old the house is and how many severely cold winters they’ve gone through, some houses can make many loud booms throughout the day and night.
Freaky if you don’t know what they are.
What do they do, just repair the walls?
Didn’t know block walls would do that.
You mean blocks like the hollow cinder blocks?
What parts of the house make the loud booms?
The wood framing?

The magnetic north pole is currently moving at approximately 25 to 35 kilometers (about 22 miles) per year, according to recent data – a slowdown from its peak speed of up to 55 km (34 miles) per year in the 2010s, but it remains significantly faster than historical rates. Earlier in the 20th century, the pole drifted at around 9 to 15 km (6–9 miles) annually, making today’s movement unusually rapid by comparison.
It is now closer to Siberia than to Canada, marking a major geographic shift over two centuries.

Since Pam Crump-Bondi will not enforce existing law, Warlord Walz, Cartel Judges and the Communist Media are allowed to frame these riots as “protest”.
But there is no ICE Exception. That is, if these Gangsters make it “legal’ to harass and impede ICE Law Enforcement, it is legal to harass and impede ALL Law Enforcement.
FBI. US Marshalls. State Patrol. City Police. Sheriffs. ALL of them.
The Wiles/Bondi DOJ is facilitating a disaster by their criminal negligence. Or is that the plan?

Looking at all President Trump’s meetings. All seem to be bilateral. Much more straight-forward. Less complicated. Figure out ways for both sides to win. Deal making. Getting rid of all the complicated bureaucratic noise in large multi-party BS.
{ (VIDEO) Rep. Delia Ramirez Announces “Melt ICE Act” to Defund ICE and Prevent Immigrants from Being Detained, Accuses ICE of Murdering Americans }
“… announced during a self-promoting rant at a House Homeland Security Committee hearing that she is introducing the Melt ICE Act to effectively defund ICE.
“… would prohibit DHS from using funds to detain or monitor immigrants, effectively limiting ICE’s authority and ability to continue to cause pain and terror,” she said. It would also send money to “communities impacted by ICE’s terror.”
She further accused ICE of threatening, kidnapping, and killing people and tear-gassing babies.
Ramirez has previously stated that her family members are illegally residing in the United States. “Half my family is still undocumented,” she said on MSNBC.
Ramirez has also declared that she is “a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American,” openly admitting that her allegiance is to illegal invaders, not American citizens.

“Because the FACE Act charges are misdemeanors, it is possible you might not see the leaders charged at the start.”
Bottom line if charges are even brought a guilty verdict is slim and a FACE act violation is only a misdemeanor!
The only FACE act that should apply is a steel toe boot all over the face of William Kelly until it looks like eviscerated pig guts.
So what happened with Nick Shirley in Congress this morning? Not one article in todays news.
Laura Ingram interviewed Nick tonight. He has his sights set on target-rich California now (with his security detail in tow).
Thanks . Don’t watch FOX. But I will watch that. Thanks.
Saw that. Nick’s incredibly impressive. Great role model for next generation of patriots and journalists.
Only slightly less than the usual for Congressional Hearings, I watched it this morning.
First, this…
Next….
I’ve just read that Grassley believes Congress shouldn’t “interfere” with elections. He is therefore a “No” on mandating voter ID.
I am tasting my words and not spitting them out 😡
But it certainly is hard not to.
I would advise caution on a statement without any supporting evidence on the WSM statement…
