Fetterman is back to his old tricks by calling for Noem to be fired. Classic move- he was speaking reasonably to gain credibility with conservatives and then he does this.
https://www.breitbart.com/border/2026/01/27/fbi-investigating-alleged-assault-on-border-patrol-agent-in-arizona-suspect-shot/
Another possible snafu…?
I call for Fetterman to be FIRED. Also fire schumer, pelosi, omar , jeffries etc.
I second that…
For a while I thought maybe he had become a real human…fool me once…
Grifting POS lived in his parents’ basement until recently.
lived in his parents’ basement until recently
no surprise he’s used to slumming around in shorts and a hoodie, huh?
Not surprisingly lyin Ted is also chiming in about the need to investigate ICE and the BP. Actually surprising is Gregg Abbott being critical of the Minnesota operation. These people don’t understand that the time for their phony even handed arguments are long gone .
Texas still hasn’t cleaned up colony ridge and all the illegals in houston
Not exactly constitutional, but I am with you!
Another stroke …? of bad luck or judgement?
Ummm he’s a democrat. This is not surprising.
Fetid man is subhuman scum. Classically duplicitous.
And dirty Looking
Last I knew he was a Democrat, which means never trust. Don’t they talk about a broken clock being right twice a day.
As a Pennsylvanian I am somewhat ashamed that he’s even in the Senate, but I don’t trust any Pennsylvania elections, especially since FJB. Furthermore, the Senate is absolutely filled with losers.
Ultimately, he is a despicable human being who needs to be replaced by Pennsylvania.
One of Augustine’s most famous political insights—without justice, states collapse into organized theft.
Not to ruffle feathers but I think we have been at the organized theft stage since the 90s.
It is even being kept track of. 40T give or take.
1971…or 1913. 😉
Unfortunately I concur. The 90’s and BJ C solidified our downfall that accelerated with Wilson.
Clinton was the one who started giving secrets to the Chinese, the first Feinstein and Swalwell so to speak.
Minnesota judge summons ICE leader to court, threatens contempt sanctions
https://archive.is/CkGWS
This action on the part of the judge strongly suggests that he too is very involved in the fraud. How many millions does he have in his bank account?
“No!”
That violated the law. He is in violation of the law which protects federal employees doing their jobs. If he has a problem with it, contact his boss.
*cough*
Imagínense! No me digan!
The judicial branch of the government is the most corrupt branch of the government.
Trump needs to be an Andrew Jackson, who unfortunately was a Democrat, but the republic requires it.
Minnesota needs an inter-agency taskforce stood up. DOJ/FBI/DHS/Border Patrol/ICE/IRS and War Dept (a component and tasked with planning operations). If they can go snatch Maduro, they can plan whatever needs to be done in Minnesota. State police could be invited, too, but there would OPSEC concerns to be addressed first.
Mayor Frey made it very clear to Tom Homan that MN is above the law and that under no circumstances will they comply with Federal Immigration Laws. They will continue to protect illegal criminal aliens (all illegals are criminal) and basically the feds have no say.
https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-frey-says-minneapolis-wont-comply-with-federal-immigration-law-after-homan-meeting
You have to admire Homan’s strength and self control. He didn’t break that little greasy worm in half during the meeting.
agree
When men get older, they often become bolder. What may have caused us to pause and consider, very often becomes overridden by “I don’t give a f*ck” attitude.
I identify with Homan’s very professional IDGAF attitude.
In other words, Frey, through Homan, tells the President to pho-k off. Sounds like a rebellion to me. (And Frey is definitely jockeying for national office.)
Were’nt CONservative Inc ballyhooing that Tom is man to save the day and that he knows what he is doing and is well respected unlike Noem and Bovino? Funny that…
I heard on the radio today that Homan had received an important award from the guy with three Islamic names, but an important conservative tenant, in my opinion, is to not shoot the messenger.
He may be just relaying Frey’s response at this point.
That said, we all need to be paying attention and stay focused.
I work full-time, so I count on a lot of people here to keep me informed.
“I shared with Mr. Homan the serious negative impacts this operation has had on Minneapolis and surrounding communities, as well as the strain it has placed on our local police officers,”
Yeah, a huge strain. they had to give the donuts and coffee away
But illegals stealing jillions was just run of mill operations.
Yeah, I mean how else can he (Frey) win elections?
WTF?
https://patriots.win/p/1ARwnRJwDm/breaking-nick-sortor-reveals-tha/c
If this is true, if ICE will not be arresting and deporting all of the illegal aliens it runs across, not just those with US criminal records, it means that Donald Trump has caved in to the coward RINO Republicans and has blinked on the immigration question.
Which in turn means that the communist color revolution has won in Minnesota and will also be winning everywhere else in this country where there is a sanctuary city and/or a state.
Sure thing troll.
President Trump better back track if this is true. I just also read he is allowing an investigation in the MN shooting. We know how it ends if true.
Disheartening.
Well, any death should be investigated, just not with Commies in charge.
I posted above though, that none of this would have happened if the local police had been doing their jobs!
The blood is on Walz’ and Grey’s hands.
Frey. not Grey, obviously.
Well < Nick got it wrong yesterday.
Hope it’s not true.
I don’t really trust this type of information until I see it on this web site. For some reason our esteemed host has been silent today on this crucial issue.
This is incredibly sad on two accounts, first the loss of life of a pregnant woman…and the apparent intelligence of the article’s author…I can’t get over this one line:
“suffered apparent sharp force trauma — which is common in a stabbing.”
Not much info yet…but very sad. No indication of how many months along…
https://wgntv.com/western-suburbs/pregnant-woman-found-dead-in-downers-grove-fire-homicide-investigation-opened/
The mother and baby were six months along according to the article. They don’t mention if the suspect knew the victim or if he is an illegal or anything related to motive. WGN is more likely to tell you he drove a late model sedan.
😁…
If CNN covered Star Wars…
This is excellent!
Every time someone sees this, it does more good that a tightly reasoned argument about this or that issue of the day.
“Ridicule is man’s most important weapon.”
And they did a fine job of it here.

Mel went live a little while ago.
He is covering a press conference regarding a sh00ting in Pima County Arizona today involving an alleged smuggling suspect and the Boarder Patrol.
Mel will also be updating on a recently deceased person involved in an altercation with officers in Minneapolis and also a protest in progress in Minneapolis.
The protesters have matching printed signage that look like signage recently used in protests in other cities including Washington DC.

Somebody did something.
A little while ago Ilhan Omar was rambling on at a press conference when a white male approached her suddenly and sprayed her with an apparent smelly substance with a syringe immediately after Omar called for the resignation or impeachment of Kristi Noem.
The man seemed to have stated, “She will not resign”, but don’t quote me on that.
The man was quickly tackled to the floor.
Omar refused to go get checked and continued to speak.
The whole thing appeared to be staged because her reaction didn’t seem normal under the circumstances.
Ilhan Smollet?
0.o
Ilhan Smollet, lmfao.
She is probably scared as F right now. Knows her puppet masters need someone to throw under a bus, she is it.
Sure looks that way to me.
On the Ilhan Smollet incident, Mel has two different camera angles that captured the moment.
The incident has already gone viral on Twatter.
As you review the footage, take note of the sly grin Ilhan cracked as she resumed speaking; after stifling a laugh she quickly resumed her composure and went on as if nothing happened.
The guy on the floor stayed quiet instead of screaming, “Free Palestine!” or something equally as ridiculous.
The room was not evacuated, and nobody called HazMat or paramedics.
So, here’s a live feed of various ongoing protests.
This guy has feeds for Minneapolis, St. Louis Missouri, and Eugene Oregon.
The sound quality on the Oregon feed is so bad that the Antifa Karen yelling sounds like a dog barking.
None of the protests are very well attended.

“… take note of the sly grin Ilhan cracked as she resumed speaking; after stifling a laugh she quickly resumed her composure and went on as if nothing happened….”
That’s ‘duper’s delight’… Whitmer did the same when she went *live* to announce the ‘kidnapping plot against her had been foiled’.
None of the attacks on them are real; their Righteous opposition is smarter than that & not inclined OR interested in spectacle… so they have to do it to themselves, pretending to be “others”.
Totally forgot about Whitmer and her fake self.
The internet is on fire tonight, everyone ridiculing Ilhan Smollet!
Nobody’s falling for it.

It does sound staged. Very strange reaction on her part.
She nodded at him right before he got up.

Alrighty.
0hour1 has an up close photo of the guy and it really looks suspicious.
The guy isn’t holding a medical syringe.

47, I am a resident of southern AZ (no further info will I give as I have connections). I have spoken to chiefs in several southern PD’s who give conflicting policy concerning support of ICE and Border Patrol. I have lived and worked in AZ for 50 plus years and have NEVER seen so much division and stress related ‘readiness’ in our LEO’s.
Thank you for the youtube connection. I am continuing to view it and continue to be shocked!
President Trump to Walz:
Proverbs 22:8
Nor will they.
Frey and Walz would rather have Minneapolis burn to the ground then turn over one illegal immigrant child rapist.
That should be evident to everyone!
Reports out now…
Alex Pretti quit his ICU nurse job three months ago to protest ICE enforcement.
Pretti broke a rib fighting ICE Agents last week.
Pretti’s IPhone shows he was particpant in Signal Chat ANTIFA.
Pretti was tracking ICE Agents licence plates and locations.
Pretti was carrying a loaded firearm during violent confrontation with ICE a separate federal felony on top of A: obstruction of immigration enforcement, B: resist arrest and assault on federal officers.
His death occurred during the commission of multiple felonies which, under the law, was his own fault! 🫡
Re: games people play
While overlooking the precursor impeding of law enforcement actions for a month…
….the media will run and rerun a gotcha snippet, (and pretend that all else by the crowds is goodie two shoes )
and overlay the narrative it wants to miss sell
(to protect c-dems illegal voters etc. etc.)

Plus the media ignores the Trump admin multiple positives, promises made and kept…
Some know of the games people play…and lawfully counter with truths…
(‘they’ often do not know it, and getting short term paid helps them overlook the long term pain ‘they’ are helping to create)
Some fall for the games people play…and are duped into helping their own demise (becoming controlled by tricky c-dems tyranny ploys, repeatedly…)
Some think they know the truth, but… do ‘they’ …?
Love thy neighbors
You know you’re getting old when:
You can remember liberal women used rape whistles for their own protection … and now use whistles to protect rapists;
You understand our brave ICE/CBP officers are treated even worse than Vietnam veterans returning home; and
You realize many of the same idiots who called our Vietnam vets “babykillers” now support late term abortions and don’t see a contradiction.
I hate to say it, but Kristi Noem (and a couple others) really blew it with their statements about the second shooting.
I understand why some are calling for her to be fired.
Trump definitely needs to fix this. I think he is.

White House eases tone on Pretti killing: Trump ‘does not want any Americans to lose their lives’
https://www.cnbc.com/2026/01/26/trump-tom-homan-minnesota-alex-pretti-ice.html?recirc=taboolainternal
She called him a domestic terrorist. That’s what he was.
When asked if he agreed with calling Pretti a domestic terrorist, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said, “I have not heard the president characterize Mr. Pretti in that way.”
He was a domestic terrorist.
According to the menacing media, capitulating republicans and democrat commies the only domestic terrorists they see are the people who voted for President Trump. Everyone else is given free range to commit all kinds of crimes and even if and when they are arrested, they are then coddled by judges.
She is known to be trigger happy. Sometimes with her mouth. Sometimes with a her shotgun.
I’m thinking you’re the next domino to fall.
And praying he takes Tom Tomorrow with him.
I’m going to start reading names before I read comments because I’m sick of these stupid a*******.
Remain calm and carry on.
If a troll falls in a forest and no one cares the sounds they make are like so much warm gas, and, eventually shall pass.
Yup, another one. They’re so obvious. JinWis is another.
You are so right. They are so stupid they are offensive.
Imagine what a horrible experience it is to live in their skin.
Tom Tomorrow is a CT troll without a doubt. I never heard of it before yesterday.
He’s so stupid that he doesn’t even begin to understand how idiotic he sounds.
First of all, CNBC would not be my first source for information.
That said, if he really does go after Noem, instead of the real culprits Walz and Frey, he is committing a grave error.
Weeks ago Trump should have insisted on local law enforcement doing their jobs or being replaced by National Guard or active military.
If Minneapolis police and Minnesota state troopers had done their jobs, two people would probably be alive today.
Supporting sanctuary Commies will not make America great again.
More stupidity…….. Livonia, MI

Neither can Marco. This is a fun article (surprise):
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15501955/Marco-Rubio-hide-naps-Trump.html
It also has a funny story about hoe President Trump pats attention to details.
I have been wondering why people aren’t talking about this. Maybe they are and I haven’t heard it. But do an AI search like this:
what is the US criminal law against interfering with federal employees doing their job? which actions are considered to be misdemeanors? And of these misdemeanor level offenses what happens if they are in possession of a firearm at the time?
What you will find is that nearly all violent activists impeding ICE are committing felonies. Whether it’s feeling assault outright or it’s the use of weapons which could cause injury or death of federal employees.
And the news media trying to “honor” that nurse needs to be told live on camera, that even interesting with a mail carrier while carrying a firearm is a felony with a 20 year sentence. At the least he was committing a class A misdemeanor but while in possession of a firearm, he was committing a felony level offense and it does not matter that it was used in the process — only that he was carrying.
And pretty much every legal carry person already knows this. They know a criminal act while in possession escalates to felony with added counts.
They know a criminal act while in possession escalates to felony with added counts
Which are usually disregarded / dismissed when career criminals re-offend and are brought to trial anew
= that whole “de-policing / de-prisonification” movement a couple years back and continuing, in which liberals seek to keep darkfellows from going back to prison (invoking Australian slang, mind you)
It would be so nice if Immigration and Customs Enforcement became the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

President Trump is clearly the “man in the arena” … with everything on the line (unlike the armchair second guessers).
IMHO he’s earned the benefit of the doubt and has far better information than most of his detractors.
I believe losing the mid-terms means the end of the Trump agenda and the Republic as we know it is finished. Risk on/risk off calculation.
Agree. I believe it so firmly that it is very hard to accept that Congress persons can’t see how close we are to extinction, as a Republic, and set aside their usual grifting. Their usual Uniparty games.
The hour is quite late; how can they not see it?

Shared a couple of those in one of the other threads on the events in Minny in the last couple of days.
LibsofTikTok has been sharing a bunch too, like this one.
A number of them are also involved in the protests…
According to the news media and Democrats, Alex Pretti armed with a cocked and loaded 9mm Sig Sauer with two 15 round magazines wasn’t a danger to the ICE Agents he was fighting and resisting arrest but unarmed 110 lb Ashley Babbit was a clear and present danger to Capitol Police Officer Michael Byrd standing 20 feet away from him while she was next to two unconcerned Capitol Police Officers! 🤔
Michael Byrd needs an adequate comeuppance. He should never have another day of peace in his foul subhuman life

An honest question, who here believes that those two miscreants would have been killed if local law enforcement had been doing their jobs and separating the protestors from ICE?
I for one believe that they would still be alive and that the Democrats (Commies) were looking for a few martyrs, for the revolution you know,
Optics is really all they care about. It’s the reason they are NOT cooperating with ICE , they want the arrests to take place where they’ll be seen and where they can control the narrative.
I don’t have the slightest concern that two communists were killed. I’d say it’s a good start. Let’s keep going – more.
just noticed that yesterday there was an opinion handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court in the case titled Klein vs Martin, about a habeas corpus lawsuit for an inmate who brought up lack of fair trail for, what the inmate claimed, was not showing all exculpatory evidence (a computer search record not showing a particular search effort, how to make a homemade silencer for a gun, that the inmate claimed should go to his defense). It was a case brought in a State’s court, but wended its way up through the federal system given the various appeals.
The inmate lost the case yesterday as the Court affirmed the lower circuit court’s ruling that there was enough other information to collaborate the State’s evidence so the lack of that one testimony wouldn’t have mattered, so the case is sent back to the lower Court to deal with the case now that the question at hand has been dealt with.
link to the opinion: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf/25-51_4g15.pdf
I would like to post another statement. I believe that Mr. Pretti could easily have documented ICE actions without being armed. Has the journalist Ngo ever been personally armed?
Unfortunately, I had also read a few news articles prior to this incident where the Commies were attacking their own side. Perhaps this knowledge caused him to make a stupid decision.

Norms and Parameters, by Mark Steyn, January 27, 2026
http://www.steynonline.com
(edited for length and clarity)
“If we could reduce [mass migration], urgently,
there might be a sporting chance of saving the western world.
That is the existential question for all of us –
whether enough of our kith [friends, neighbors] will abandon enough of their fever dreams
in enough time to enable enough of a course-correction.
Speaking for myself, I hold the same views on public policy I held back in the disco era –
except in two significant respects:
a) flared trousers;
b) the US military.
As a foreigner, I had no grasp of quite how captured and corrupted was the Pentagon.
So I am now in favour of not permitting America’s soldiery to leave barracks except on day release –
for three hour dictator kidnapping raids or a bit of nuclear bunker busting.
But I would not support any lengthier foreign warmaking until every single beribboned US commander
from Victory Over Japan Day to Non-Victory Over Pushtun Goatherds Day is six feet under.
For that reason, I view with grave misgivings this month’s decision to increase
the Pentagon’s already bloated budget by over fifty per cent:
insufficient of the folding stuff is not the reason why America’s money-no-object military can’t win a war.
And, in any case, the real battle is for the home front.
By mid-century, the peoples of most of the rest of the west
face demographic dispossession in some of the oldest nation-states on the planet.
America has a different history – or at any rate a different mythology – yet even here,
in 1950 New York City was ninety per cent white; now it’s thirty-three per cent and falling.
Such a population evolution in the span of a single lifetime is not “within normal parameters”
unless of plague or conquest, but it has happened, to America’s biggest city,
to America’s biggest state, and to a zillion less glittering jurisdictions in between.
These norms don’t sound very normal to me.
Immigration is at the root of pretty much everything everywhere –
rising crime, wage stagnation, failing schools, dysfunction in the medical system,
the unaffordability of first homes, later family formation if at all,
Jew massacres on Bondi Beach, blonde gang-rapes in Sweden, pub closures in England…
…sometimes a society becomes too stupid to survive.”
“….sometimes a society becomes too stupid to survive.”
My take…sometimes a society becomes too GODLESS to survive!
