President Trump appears to be initiating a strategic retreat from sanctuary states and sanctuary cities. Via a message on Truth Social President Trump says he has instructed DHS Secretary Noem not to participate in “poorly run Democrat cities”:
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP – “I have instructed Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, that under no circumstances are we going to participate in various poorly run Democrat Cities with regard to their Protests and/or Riots unless, and until, they ask us for help. We will, however, guard, and very powerfully so, any and all Federal Buildings that are being attacked by these highly paid Lunatics, Agitators, and Insurrectionists.
Please be aware that I have instructed ICE and/or Border Patrol to be very forceful in this protection of Federal Government Property. There will be no spitting in the faces of our Officers, there will be no punching or kicking the headlights of our cars, and there will be no rock or brick throwing at our vehicles, or at our Patriot Warriors. If there is, those people will suffer an equal, or more, consequence.
In the meantime, by copy of this Statement, I am informing Local Governments, as I did in Los Angeles when they were rioting at the end of the Biden Term, that you must protect your own State and Local Property. In addition, it is your obligation to also protect our Federal Property, Buildings, Parks, and everything else. We are there to protect Federal Property, only as a back up, in that it is Local and State Responsibility to do so.
Last night in Eugene, Oregon, these criminals broke into a Federal Building, and did great damage, also scaring and harassing the hardworking employees. Local Police did nothing in order to stop it. We will not let that happen anymore!
If Local Governments are unable to handle the Insurrectionists, Agitators, and Anarchists, we will immediately go to the location where such help is requested, and take care of the situation very easily and methodically, just as we did the Los Angeles Riots one year ago, where the Police Chief said that, “We couldn’t have done it without the help of the Federal Government.” Therefore, to all complaining Local Governments, Governors, and Mayors, let us know when you are ready, and we will be there — But, before we do so, you must use the word, “PLEASE.”
Remember that I stated, in the strongest of language, to BEWARE — ICE, Border Patrol or, if necessary, our Military, will be extremely powerful and tough in the protection of our Federal Property. We will not allow our Courthouses, Federal Buildings, or anything else under our protection, to be damaged in any way, shape, or form. I was elected on a Policy of Border Control (which has now been perfected!), National Security, and LAW AND ORDER — That’s what America wants, and that’s what America is getting! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
I would not be surprised to see both Kristi Noem and Tulsi Gabbard pressured to resign by the White House inner circle.
wiles has similarities to pence, both darkside pretenders who make my skin crawl. i’ve read that in order to avert a shutdown, the republicans tucked into the latest bill a drawdown of DHS/ICE in blue states so they could get enough dem votes to pass the bill. This translates to “mass deportations will not happen.”
the republican party is not on our side, nor any of the feckless water boys in the upper and lower chambers of congress. Their lips r permanently glued to the backsides of wef, global elites and anyone else enriching their banc accts at the expense of taxpayers.
It’s been decades since the Republican Party was on our side, perhaps longer than I want to acknowledge. Perhaps that was part of President Eisenhower’s warning!
That is why I voted for Perot !!!
Republicans need to vote in 60 senators, then we don’t need democrat votes! DO you think the voters will step up, no! SO, THAT’S the problem! Vote 60 senators in office!
Better allow for horse-face Murk and Collins, so 62. And the feckless Rand Paul and Hawlins, so 64.
We’ve never had a majority. It’s been horsetrading from day one.
Who remembers the Kim Clement prophecy about the enemy wanting to put a witch in the White House? He has, it’s just not the one we were expecting.
Kim Clements prophecy in part.
God says, ‘Once you recognize the man that I have raised up, pray. For the enemy will do everything in his power to put a witch in the White House…”

Listen to or read this short clip of the prophecy. The witch could possibly be Susie Wiles. He didn’t state which party. We have enemies on the republican side too. Who recommend her?
Paula White is questionable as well.
Accidentally posted the wrong link. Here is the correct one.

This translates to another GOPe sell-out!!
It sure sounds like it.
Perhaps Holman’s vague reference to staying tuned regarding fraud is soon going to reveal itself.
About 2 weeks ago, buried in a long TS post by PDJT, he asked an innocuous question (paraphrasing) to Minnesotans, specifically in Minneapolis…Is this what you want?
Treepers might think it was being sarcastic, rhetorical, or any perspective other than a honest question…Is this what you want?
In the Old Testament when the Hebrews wanted a king like the other nations, God gave them what they wanted. Well after 1,000+ years, and many, many kings that did evil in the site of the Lord, both the Northern and Southern Kingdoms were defeated by Assyria and Babylon, respectively, and the Jews were exiled from their land. God gave them what they wanted with an unexpected consequence.
God gave them what they wanted.
I believe President Trump is giving Minnesotans, at least in Minneapolis, what they want, which is for ice to leave. I read they have 34,000 willing to be ICE spotters. Continuing in the current course would IMO result in a civil war on the streets. At what expense?? Mid-terms?
We can’t lose the mid-terms because of all the blue-Dem-sanctuary cities.
Solution?
Give them what they want……..with one caveat …cancel federal funding.
Feds leave the battleground. Without federal money in Minneapolis, what will those Somalians do? One can just imagine….everyone will turn elsewhere if they lose their scapegoat to kick around.
Will Minnesotans decide they don’t want anarchy? Don’t want the Somalian crime?
I really don’t know if this plan will work. It’s a long game plan.
It would be an absolute shooting oneself in the foot if Noem and Gabbard are pushed out, particularly after PDJT posted on TS yesterday “that they are going after Noem because she is a woman”. What’s it going to look like if Noem & Gabbard -2 women- are pushed out of the Cabinet? That will be bending a knee to Warner et al.
And it would be kowtowing to the needs and wants of hakeem jeffries – Noem and Gabbard need a few bonuses or whatever it takes to keep them doing what they’re doing. Get rid of bondi and wiles. Both seem not only useless, but also detrimental. Notice that no democrats are calling for their resignations – NONE
i see it as brilliant strat. let them stir in their own juice. imagine how these anarchists will look to america while they are rioting and there is no ice around.
They will just hop on a bus to the next ICE round up. I’m betting many don’t even live in MN!
I think many aren’t and we will see this circus move to the next state.
“Give them what they want……..with one caveat …cancel federal funding.”
I did not see anything in the President’s Truth Social about Federal money but I think you are correct that shutting off the spigot of funds that finance the fraud (AND the rioters) would be a very quick and easy way to force the blue states to decide just how much they want to continue to virtue signal! Go ahead – support your “diverse communities” and continue your DEI practices, but make the taxpayers of YOUR state pay for all of it and see how long they want they to do that!!
Trump is not giving them what they want, he is giving them what they deserve. Brilliant.
👍 💯
It’s the same thing.
A judge will rule he can’t do that either.
Face it, we don’t live in the USA. This place is a UN-inspired project loaded with foreigners of every language planting their flags. There aren’t enough of us to democratically win first then deport.
Biden had one job and he had no one to stop him… open the borders. The results would result in eventual overthrow of the sane government for a reckless one.
Wiles isn’t going to make or break us, the numbers of 2020-2024 imports are overwhelming. Retarded Biden succeeded in fulfilling his task just by doing nothing.
“… just by doing nothing.”
A task to which he was aptly suited.
Secy Brookes had coverage te: stopping SNAP funds. Pretty sure Bessent is cutting iff funding also. Secy Loeffler of SBA cut off funding. The cabinet heads discussed the funds being cut. Not Trump.
The UniParty isn’t going to defund anything EXCEPT DHS. They couldn’t bring themselves to cut off the $Ts that Empress Piglosi added to the federal budget for “covid relief” for goodness sake.
The federal money will continue to flow like the flooded river that its become. The graft, grift & theft will continue apace.
They already have. Ready above comment.
I’ve not seen any of this stated or implied.
My entire premise is based on PDJT’s statement and my interpretation of that statement, which I state could be interpreted several different ways. This is the way I’ve interpreted it.
They always pick on the woman.
They did go after Pete first, but that failed. For some reason, they gave up on him, but now it’s on to the women. They both are tough. Hope they survive. They both are good role models.
Insiders can lobby against them all they want, but I put my money on both. Noem just got a huge Truth shout out from Pres Trump an Gabbard is neck deep in blowing the election steal wide open!
This is exactly why the Dems want Noem and Tulsi gone….they are effective and will dig out the truth.
Sounds to me like bait for the little lefties. Pull back a bit, reallocate to different places, threaten them if they damage federal properties, and get the loud mouthed screamers emboldened to attack facilities, only to fall into the stake pit of arrest.
Why walk around a neighborhood full of zombies when you can funnel them in to a trap?
Sundance, considering your enthusiastic support of and unwavering belief in President Trump this is a very downbeat, discouraging post, IMHO…if I am reading your comments correctly, you are saying that DJT has been corrupted (or bamboozled) by Susie Wiles and is acceding to her wishes, rather than to the base that voted for him in the belief that there would be mass deportations in quick order.
Kristi Noem is still a question mark in my book but if Tulsi Gabbard is fired then I think we will all know that the Swamp won, AGAIN!!
if I am reading your comments correctly
You’re not. Sundance never mentions Susie Wiles. ctrl F search for “wiles” and it only shows up in reader comments.
Please, Sundance said “strategic retreat?” That could be a positive as well as negative. We shall see.
As of this week all the anarchists and crazies are leaving the frigid Minneapolis and heading to LA where it’s warm. Bye Bye. Now that protests are up to the locals, a few weeks and Minneapolis will go quiet. Walz and Frey are scared because 60 major companies in MN wrote a letter telling them to get this under control. Numbers are coming in that business is down.
Sundance shared a picture with Susie Wiles in it and captioned her as “The Boss”…
You stated “if I am reading your comments correctly, you are saying that DJT has been corrupted (or bamboozled) by Susie Wiles and is acceding to her wishes.”
You get all that by seeing the word Boss on a photo? That same photo could mean that it was Wiles who convinced PDJT to send in Tom Homan. Wouldn’t it then be a positive? If it turns out she didn’t want Homan there, wouldn’t that make Sundance wrong? Too many cynics out there.
The facts are that in MN there are agreements that Tom Homan has secured that will give ICE notice of criminals in jail so they can pick them up when let out. He also has an agreement of local police support. If that agreement holds up there is no need for ICE to be out roaming neighborhoods and no need to keep the number of agents as high.
https://nitter.poast.org/TheLastRefuge2/status/2017806526237356040#m
He didn’t have to mention Wiles. All he had to do was place “BOSS” on her photo.
Didn’t know that about the 60 companies. Thank you.
A picture is worth 10,000 words (or used to be prior to the Age of AI). As others have remonstrated, check out the pic in Sundance’s post.
He didn’t need to type “Wiles”.
https://www.mnchamber.com/blog/open-letter-more-60-ceos-minnesota-based-companies
all sundance said was pressure from inside. pepto can take care of that.
If over 80% of the citizens support the ice arrests and deportation, plus cutting fraud, he’s abandoning more than 30% of his supporters! Considering the amount of counties that voted for him, in blue states, I never want to here that out of his mouth again!
Praying that God’s wisdom prevails. (I share your concerns.)
The way Sundance ended with the prediction that Noem and Tulsi are likely gone is odd.
No concrete evidence to back that statement.
If you believe the writing is on the wall for these two to be gone please give us some facts or examples of actions given because that’s a huge statement to digest.
The consequences of replacing both seems shortsighted.
Is there talk/inside information that both are compromised!?
I am waiting for the ICE policy for dummies edition so I can understand all this.
High stakes poker, Trump is holding a hand. They got no cards, all bluff.
It’s possible Homan advised Trump the situation in Minneapolis is media nightmare without total police and military cooperation and protection.
Trump recently said he has full confidence in Noem and Gabbard, so it would seem hard to believe he’d give up them now.
Especially Gabbard who appears to be on the verge of breaking big news.
You don’t stop the fight when you have them on the ropes.
Unless you have a crooked coach in your corner who has been paid to make sure you lose the fight….the picture with Susie staring over the President’s should says it all, IMHO! I personally think he should have fired her when she did the Vanity Fair article!
She should have waited till end of term. I liked Katie Miller she doesn’t talk to journalists.
Gabbard and Noem are heroes. And, heroes are sparse inside our government. I don’t know the intentions of the inner circle and what they are trying to accomplish. If we continue to cut the corrupt cash flows while the idiots destroy their own communities, this problem will solve itself. Many law abiding citizens will migrate to red states. Many businesses will migrate to red states. And, the “market will clear.” It is true that blue states will suffer and decline from from the self-inflicted insanity, but sane states will be glad to receive the best that the blue states can offer; i.e., their best law-abiding citizens.
People tend to forget that the left has been working for decades to implement some variant of “Marxism..” The are not going to change course. Let them fail, but don’t let them pull down the red states. You don’t see productive people migrating from red states to blue states. in the long-run, the market will solve the problem.

EXACTLY ON POINT!!!!
I stopped listening to Candance when she got on the anti-Israel boat, then Tucker, and even the show Redacted. What they say is, “Are we not allowed to criticize Israel?” Sure. Y’all go ahead. See what happens.
Won’t watch or listen to any of the above any more. They think they are edgy. I think they are stupid.
I think we should be able to criticize Israel especially since our money (lots of our money) goes to support their behavior. Why are they so special? 🤔
Candace has jumped the shark.
I view POTUS’ TS feed rather regularly. I haven’t seen this video there.
Not that I disagree. Just that I have my doubts.
Sundance, whom are you referring to when you are discussing the inner circle?
As much as I am really liking the new Rubio, is he perhaps running interference for the Senator from Virginia with regard to Tulsi. After all, they were both on the intelligence committee. It goes without saying Susie Wiles is the ringleader.
Haven’t you noticed, she’s been sidelined ever since that awful article? I think she’s lost some power

Paul Newman is PDJT in this analogy.
Bingo
Worth a re watch, crazy like a fox.
Good one. Thank you!
Bluesky and NPR
and other outlets are running stories and comments constantly that focus on specifics of how ICE has been engaging on the ground and there are claims of ICE agents actually being IDF trainees or something.
This is interesting as TikTok has new requirements, apparently, for users this week, too.
There is much that is simmering.
Strategic RetreatStrategic Wisdom.

Wisdom on loan from God.
He’s taking away assets, and letting them implode, taking away funds also,,they will die
If he fires either one, I’m gonna be very worried.
If he fires Gabbard, I’m out…..this one is not a negociation.
goal is not a dramatic coup, but the slow paralysis of lawful state authority by making immigration enforcement politically, morally, and operationally impossible. This is not foreign-run, nor does it require a single command center. It is domestic, distributed, and method-driven. These methods have toppled governments across the globe, and now they are being executed by Americans against their own state. If allowed to succeed in Minnesota, they will be replicated nationwide. Christians, conservatives, and the federal government alike are now facing a reality they’ve long avoided: organized resistance does not dissolve through restraint. It escalates until it is confronted. What comes next will not be clean, painless, or optional; but it will be inevitable.
Maybe. Maybe not.
Lot more to this than meets the eye. One does wonder though, what’s coming that will make the Blue States ask for help?
WA state will never, ever ask for help, with or without the required “Please.”
They will when they are broke..
Here is the thing, the Democrats and blue states are entirely dependent, they are dependent on the federal money and the fraud schemes..
None of these states can exist entirely on their own doing what they do.. even CA, one of the largest economies in the country also is broke and needs tons of federal money.
They all get their heads screwed on straight when they realize they are now broke.
“what’s coming that will make the Blue States ask for help?”
Bankruptcy.
Lawsuits.
Businesses fleeing the crazy states.
Good people with money fleeing these states.
Running out of other peoples money to then feed and fully support all these violent Ferals because the fraud economy that was doing this is now all going to be gone.
Walz and Ellison are in big trouble..
These illegals were flooded into this country, into these states, the sanctuary states and cities for a reason..
IF, because of the cut off of the funding (USAID, the NGOs etc) and the shut down of all their various fraud schemes, if ALL the money dries up and then we get this voting/election situation straightened out so they aren’t then going to steal the elections with them (Voter ID passed), then what on earth are they going to do with all these illegals that no longer can do what they are here for?
Add in the end of birthright citizenship..
THEN add in that the funding for all the riot shows is going to be sorted out and ended- they are onto this too (Investigations into Soros)
These are low skilled expensive people to fully support and just how will they afford it all?
What are they all going to do, get jobs? these Somali Pirates? where? this ain’t gonna happen.
We all know the financial situation in these corrupt, dysfunctional blue cesspools.
So I’m thinking that these people like Walz, they are soon going to realize that the illegals need to get deported- they are no longer useful or affordable to support (polling shows most all Americans want them entirely gone).
They’ve run this show into the ground, they can’t get anything in return because Trump has shut it all down.
So they’ll soon be quietly working to get rid of them or more like not putting up any resistance to the deportations..
From what we know has gone on, this may be where this is all heading..
Hate to tell you the Senate failed……vote included funding for non citizens
st heard a talking head say DHS has funding for another two weeks? That might be part of the issue. Get the most done that can be done with what they have to work with right now? And not waste money?
I thought they were finded for 3-4years through BBB-can’t recall where I read it….
Yes, funded $70 billion until 2028 in June. What’s with 6 months?
“I would not be surprised to see both Kristi Noem and Tulsi Gabbard pressured to resign by the White House inner circle.”
Quite possible. Yet I do not envision either of these fighters rolling over easily.
Perhaps Sundance is trolling the 🧌’s?
Kristi Noem ? Maybe.
Tulsi Gabbard ? When rivers flow backwards.
I laughed out loud! Thank you.
It would make sense in this upside down Republic to remove Noem but leave in place doj spokesperson Bondi.
Interesting times…
I doubt Tulsi will go anywhere. Wiles wants Trump distracted with rallies.
I think Wiles wants to remove Noem and Gabbard because they are intelligent, capable, hardworking people, that also know how to fire a weapon. Not to mention incredibly beautiful.
Wiles, meanwhile had to resort to numerous interviews with Vanity Fair because as far as I know, she does not have any of the capabilities of Noem and Gabbard mentioned above.
I trust President Trump but don’t always understand his logic. What purpose does Wiles serve ?
IMHO she is Spence in a skirt and wig
What purpose does Wiles serve? I think she is supposed to be the political expert, important now for the midterms.
With 34k COMMUNISTS ready to mobilize their “revolution” in Minneapolis , I think President Trump is saying that his people will NOT engage in their plot to incite more bloodshed. If the insurgents dare to attack the fed buildings and people then they will be met with extreme force.
I do not think this is a retreat. This is a resetting of the strategy.
We’re pushing up against the clock too.
There is a whole big country out there needing a cleanout.. this is better time and resource management too.
Let them stew in their mess for a while and move onto to other areas.
“Unless and until they ask for help”
Don’t hold your breath waiting for them to ask for help. They liked it just the way it was before the ice raids and will most likely like it even more now.
sheesh….
It’s a strategy to take it out of the news for now, and I think it’s a good one.
It’s akin to letting the idiots expend all their energies yapping away when no one is there, much as a boxer like Ali went to the ropes and let his opponent expend all his energy throwing punches that couldn’t land while Ali covered his ribs.
It’s Donald’s rope-a-dope.
This is how I feel. Better optics for the low informed voter.
President Trump has been very international during this first year. He has his sights set on Iran, Cuba and Greenland. The strategy could be to calm the atmosphere here on the home front so that he can take on his international intentions.
either girl is forced out and trump will lose big face.
Isn’t Monday the day the funding for fraud is scheduled to end?
Feb. 1 is the day the funding to sanctuary cities and states is supposed to stop.
Exactly….let the fireworks begin!
I’ll go a different direction.
I think PT knows he has the DS by the balls and will take them down via money laundering, RICO and seditious conspiracy/ treason charges.
And because the money laundering has been ONGOING to many of the same folks who participated in the crimes going back to 2016, that changes and moves the goal post on the statute of limitations to begin with the most recent payment.
Their demise is the continuation of their greed
With the recent exposure of MASSIVE money laundering and Noem statement where she said the DS has created a “shadow government” through a network of NGOs (non-governmental organizations) funded by taxpayer dollars. She described this as a deliberate setup to undermine U.S. national security, facilitate illegal immigration, and effectively overthrow or sabotage the constitutional republic.
This also brings in the possibility of using a military tribunal.
PT does not need to use the military at this point as they will begin to round up the top 2 tiers of the DS and then if the level 1 & 2 DS protesters try to push back on these arrests that’s when he can use the military. Until then Homan keeps deporting & everything Federal is protected.
I believe PT has moved the priority & focus on the DS and with the new election fraud evidence, the Russia Collusion evidence, the impeachment 1&2 evidence, the J6 evidence and the Mar-a-lago evidence the net can soon begin.
If I’m wrong, I see no other path or opportunity to take down the DS and coupled without passage of the Save America Act, I’m afraid America will end.
Its now or never – 2026 is Big!
I agree with this, that he’s got other ways of getting to where he wants to get- like cutting off their money and then leaving them totally stuck with all these useless eaters to deal with- he knows they’ll soon be calling to say ‘come and get ’em”.
Remember that President Trump and Scott Bessent too, they often say “We’ve got many tools to do this”.
They’ve said this when talking about several subjects, as in if the courts say this, we can do that..
They’ve got the Plan A, Plan B and Plan C and D… all lined up and ready to roll.
Maybe the new strategy will be going after the people who are paying the protestors, rather than playing whack-a-mole with protestors all day every day.
the paid domestic terrorists in mn didn’t appear until after the fraud hit the media outlets… major distraction was needed
dems never let a crisis go to waste
John, that does seem to be on the proverbial table.
I agree with the strategy. Clean up the states that voted for Trump. There are major cities within those states that have crime/illegals issues. Let’s see how their Republican governors back the Trump agenda. Are they MAGA or RINO?
“PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP – “I have instructed Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, that under no circumstances are we going to participate in various poorly run Democrat Cities with regard to their Protests and/or Riots unless, and until, they ask us for help. “
There is a word for this. It’s called wisdom. All Great Presidents have it.
Hopefully Trump is still able to keep federal funding out of these areas–It is our taxpayer monies the Illegals and Non-Americans are stealling with the help of Dirty Politicians.
What is interesting is that majority of Americans in these citites want the Illegals out wheter they are hard criminals comitting horrendous crimes or jaust the ones that seem to be the good ones, just stealing taxpayer monies. (no I don’t consider them good but the Democrats do.
Around 2/3s of Illegals are collecting welfare monies, with over 1/2 of those collecting under more then one name/alias.
Then there are the ones sitting up fake businesses that get federal funding .
Do believe hat even if Trump pulls DHS out of the Santuary places it will no help, but will most likely make it worse.
I for one do not believe Susie Wiles is Rasputin and Donald Trump is Tsar Nicholas II.
Why resign? These are Trumps orders not Noem or Gabbard!
In concert with this action president Trump should declare a minimum 200 ft distance from protesters to federal officials. Allow one warning that you’re too close before arrest.
Trump DID NOT say ICE arrest/deportation operations would cease.
He is saying ICE will not do crowd control for the city just because officials refuse to perform their constitutional duty.
Don’t confuse the two. State / City officials are being hung on their own gallows, they can’t help them selves.
Hosea 4 v 18
When their liquor is gone,
they turn to prostitution;
their rulers dearly love disgrace.
Without *someone* doing riot and crowd control, be it BP/ICE or local police, ICE/BP arrest/deportation operations do unfortunately cease.
It was a Herculean task for them to just exit their federal buildings and get across town, not to mention apprehend illegals.
Yes, in the city, its a big state and country. Trump got ICE back in the jail, this frees up a small army to redeploy,. Take the win and stand by.
NEVER bet against President Trump.
That I can tell you.
It has been a very, very long trail into the mousetraps.
I might wish the choice of battleground was not here in the US, but perhaps the cities will be the pits into which the enemy is herded and finally destroyed.
I see the strategy. Maybe this is the way it had to be. Let’s hope the Generals got this correct when they gamed this all out, before PDJT ever came down the escalator.
I just wish Scotty Martin was still with us to document the moment.
Prayer is in order, on many fronts.
I think of the artist called “Prince.” (he was from Minneapolis wasn’t he)? RIP. Let them all GO CRAZY, GET NUTS. Just don’t expect a bailout, or clean up on aisle 3 when potentially, the frigid citizens hoping to get their faces on some kind of selfie or screen figure out how they have been used as pawns and turn on Waltz and Frey. Who will anon, be asking Please President Trump, save the two of us at least, from their own STUPIDITY!
I know. Dream on.
And PDJT, his advisors think this appeasement is going to make things better come summer? When the weather brings 10x’s more of the militant insurrectionists into the streets? Armed with hope and confidence that they will prevail? Which is what appeasement always signifies. Seen as a sign of weakness, not strength. The jackals believing they can make the lion their dinner.
That’s what this does. He’s chosen the path that invites attack, as weakness always does. The energy of the insurrectionists will not drain with time. It will grow. Setting up a Summer of Love that will make 2020 seem like a true love-in.
Trump’s advisors and instincts have set him up for failure. They led him into a box canyon, a trap. And he went into it willingly. He needed to take on these seditious revolutionaries right out of the gate. Including the seditious judiciary. With Shock and Awe. To break their fighting spirit. He’s only emboldened them.
The Republic will not be saved by PDJT. A false savior. It’s on us. And from the looks of Minneapolis they are a hellofa lot more organized and ready to win the street than Patriots are. Their comms and police/judges are more sophisticated and commited to their revolution than Patriots are. Sad, ugly truth of it.
If President Trump did what you want him to do, it would lead to his ruin.
If he doesn’t it will lead to OUR ruin.
Have at least a little faith in President Trump.
I have little faith in his inner circle.
DIME (Diplomacy, Information, Military, Economics) is a foundational framework used in counterinsurgency (COIN) operations to guide the coordinated application of all instruments of national power.
In COIN, success is not achieved through military force alone but through a synchronized effort across all four elements. As emphasized in U.S. Army Field Manual 3-24, Counterinsurgency, lasting victory comes from gaining popular support, establishing legitimacy for the host nation government, and creating conditions for political participation, economic development, and security—rather than solely through defeating insurgents militarily.
The framework evolved from early COIN doctrine, such as in Vietnam and the Malayan Emergency, and was formalized in modern manuals like FM 3-24. It reflects the understanding that counterinsurgency is a whole-of-government effort, requiring integration across agencies and levels of government.
The expansion of DIME into DIMEFIL (adding Financial, Intelligence, and Law Enforcement) further acknowledges the complexity of modern COIN environments, especially in high-intensity counterterrorism and stability operations.
AI response, the field manuals are out there, come to your own conclusions.
U.S. Army Field Manual 3-24, Counterinsurgency was co-authored by idiots General David H. Petraeus and Lieutenant General James F. Amos.
Diana West: “Could a culture that wasn’t emasculated, dumbed down, and distracted even consider such a pusillanimous idea as COIN? It’s Kipling’s “Danegeld” on overdrive. Is there no decency left in the Pentagon?
And don’t even get me started on sacrificing our young men for a depraved hopeless country like Afgh. Actually, not even for Afgh. They are being sacrificed for the vanity of those who hatch ideas like COIN, and who, even when those ideas fail spectacularly, will not face reality.
The vain ones don’t have to. Like guests at a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, they get to *move on* from their messes, to be promoted, to paint pictures in plush retirement, take seats on corporate board$, teach “leadership” classes, gather up honors at black-tie galas. It’s a luxe life, and no one calls them on it, not even to acknowledge what they have wrought.”
COIN and COG are only ways to define the battle space and frame operation planning..
They are not execution. Obviously you are triggered by the mere mention. The introduction of the topic was merely to provide language and organization that might influence HOW to think about the Presidents moves among the many speculations about Trumps strategy.
I notice you offered no actual realistic solutions with available staff, budget and political support. The President is the man in the arena, not you and I.
Diana West: The Grinning Generals by Rob Crllly is a recent London Telegraph story all about the photo of two generals, one Afghan, one American. Noting the identity of the pair — Lt. Gen. Joseph Anderson, the new ISAF commander, and Maj.Gen. Abdul Raziq, the police chief of Kandahar “accused of corruption, drug running and, most extraordinarily of all, mass murder,” Crilly is incredulous that this unseemly embrace was not secretly snapped and smuggled to news media. On the contrary, it is an official US government handout.
Child rape and pederasty by Afghan officials and officers? Turn that blind eye. Repression, abuse, bondage of women? No biggie. Corruption as a way of doing business? Whatever. Imposition of Islamic law on US troops regarding freedom of religion, freedom of speech? Learn it. Adopt it. Impose it. And always, “inshallah,” atone profusely for infidels.
Put those US troops on show trial for “murder.” Throw the book at the Marines in that urination video — or, as Marine Commandant Gen. Amos said, see them “crushed.” Win the “trust,” “hearts and minds” of the Afghan people (Mullen, Kwast). Protect the Afghan people from everything that can hurt them (McChrystal), and restrict, restrict, restrict those ROEs (the whole lot). Drink lots of tea, eat lots of goat and really get to know the people (Nicholson). Take off the ballistic glasses and walk, don’t ride, whenever possible (Petraeus).

Respectfully, wasn’t RJH positing that perhaps President Trump and his strategists are envisioning using a COIN-like strategy in dealing with the uprising in Minneapolis?
If so, it seems elements of counterinsurgency would be a practical and superior approach here than it was in Iraq. Especially since we are witnessing a well-funded, well-planned insurgency gathering strength.
I’d rather have us use Minneapolis as a trial run to learn how to defeat the insurgents and then spread the strategy nation wide instead of having the insurgents learn and spread.
“AI response” …. meaning what? All but the last sentence of your contribution was prepared by a computer somewhere in the far off, all knowing “cloud”?
If so, maybe next time put in your own time, effort, and thought process to make a contribution or response to an SD post.
AI doesn’t belong here (or anywhere, as in no where, universally, for that matter).
It looks like it was prepared by a COIN loving section at the Pentagon.
It was easier than posting an entire field manual, which was referenced, which can be found online. The closing line, come to your own conclusions. Point of the story being President Trump is navigating a complex battle space that requires complex solutions.
Obviously you have been triggered by the mere mention of AI. I can’t help you with that.
The COIN Nightmare Continues, by: Diana West, June 25, 2010
Like the frustrating dream in which cries of “Look out!” are stifled, like the cult whose high priests make reality a taboo, COIN doctrine [Pretraeus and Mattis, they “wrote the book”] overrides all comprehension of the Islamic crucible of laws and practices in which the peoples of Afghanistan and the greater umma (Islamic community) are forged. Instead, COIN-deployed troops are ordered to execute fantasies of cultural relativism that make lefty sense in a PC classroom, but are nothing short of appalling on the front line.
Founded on a deadly pretense — namely, that fundamental cultural differences don’t exist between Islam and the West — COIN proposes that elevating generic “population protection” over generic “force protection” will someday, some way, convince that generic, protected population (in this case, grossly primitive, Islamically oriented, female-oppressing, girl-molesting tribal peoples) to fall in with the American Way.
Took a look at Diana West. She went to Yale wrote a few books and was a CNN contributor. I don’t see that she has any prior training or experience that would make me defer to her opinion.
How one feels about COIN/COG (Center of Gravity) is not the point. It is in fact current asymmetrical conflict planning doctrine and is no doubt being considered by the President and his staff. Come to your own conclusions. To the best of my knowledge there is no replacement that might be currently in use please correct me if I am wrong as I am ready, willing and able to consider it when analyzing current affairs.
“Took a look at Diana West. She went to Yale wrote a few books and was a CNN contributor. I don’t see that she has any prior training or experience that would make me defer to her opinion.”
Wisdom and knowledge trumps “training and experience”’, especially when the “training and experience” is idiotic and Islam denying.
You are somehow interjecting “Islam Denial” into the use of COIN/COG in operations planning. I have not and have not seen anyone else here deny that islam is a problem. This tread is not about the many failures in Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam. Just to get back on track, we are talking about Minnesota, President Trump and his plan going forward.
Maybe you just like to quibble.
She is the author of several books, including:
West has been associated with conservative organizations such as the Center for Security Policy and is a co-author of Shariah: The Threat to America. Her work often focuses on national security, cultural decline, and historical revisionism.
Strategic retreat to save House seats … or throwing in the towel?

VERY HARD to see the upside here.
The 77 million people who voted for Trump DID NOT VOTE for him to allow communist sanctuary cities to remain hubs of election theft or centers of $100 billion fraud operations that put our sweat earned tax dollars into the pockets of Somali sand n—–s and communist leaders (Walz, Frey, et al) in sanctuary cities/states.
We voted for him to kick these demonic criminals and parasites out of America. Not for him to buckle, blink, and falter under the communist propaganda (MSNBC, CNN, et al). Someone here the other day posted “COMMUNISTS WIN, TRUMP SURRENDERS” and they got roasted for it. Turns out that poster may’ve been closer to the truth than credited for. This move by Trump raises the legitimate and extremely troubling question:
WHEN, EXACTLY, WILL TRUMP ROOT OUT THE ILLEGALS IN DEMOCRAT STRONGHOLDS??? IF NOT NOW…….WHEN???
OTOH……our Trump knows better than I or many here the lay of the land and the course he must take. Still, it rankles to hear the fkg Communists and other @ssholes and fkups who are rioting and, once again, assaulting conservatives are getting another free pass, just like they’ve gotten since The One was installed in 2008.
My red American blood boils seeing the unchecked criminality and Communist takeover of America, and I want maximum force used to quell the takeover, remove the illegals, and hold those who perpetrated it all held accountable under the highest level of the law.
Elections are fake and g—.
This is war. He’s not pursuing a political strategy, except as a component of a counterinsurgency strategy.
See RJH’s post above.
That is the correct frame.
Thank you for your support.
“VERY HARD to see the upside here.”
It’s not about achieving an upside.
It’s about avoiding a further downside.
President Trump issued the following on his Truth Social account. He is not dropping Kristi Noem, and he probably feels the same way about Tulsi Gabbard:
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
The Radical Left Lunatics, Insurrectionists, Agitators, and Thugs, are going after Kristi Noem, the Secretary of Homeland Security, because she is a woman, and has done a really GREAT JOB! The Border disaster that I inherited is fixed, the violent criminals that were allowed into our Country through Sleepy Joe’s “sick” Open Border Policy, are largely gone, or being strongly sought for purposes of removal, and the Murder Rate in the USA just reached the lowest level in history, 125 years! Washington, D.C., is now one of the safest cities in America – Likewise, numerous other once very dangerous cities! Republicans, don’t let these Crooked Democrats, who are stealing Billions of Dollars from Minnesota, and other Cities and States from all over the Country, push you around. They are using this aggressive protest SCAM to obfuscate, camouflage, and hide their CRIMINAL ACTS of theft and insurrection. They should all be in jail. I was elected on Strong Borders, and Law and Order, among many other things. Thank you to Secretary Kristi Noem. Remember, ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES!!! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

I think this Truth was a response to Jeffries in the House. He announced that he and his party are going to impeach Noem if she is not fired. I think he also wants Steven Miller to be fired.
Contact every Republican and let them know that this will not be tolerated by the base. Overload the phones. I do not trust any of them.
I simply can not see it any other way. Queued to moment trainer throws towel into ring.
Well … sigh … having re-read DJT’s notice, maybe I missed the subtlety, or aren’t smart enough to understand his reasonings, not being in his shoes.
Still, it’s quite disappointing that the MN rioters have ‘won’ this round and will naturally be emboldened to continue on their path. ALL Democrat cities will be emboldened also, and the MEDIA especially will view and promote this as a huge win for ‘justice’, etc.
The corruption is so deep, high, and wide; all encompassing from school boards to Trump’s inner circle, and the entire sheeple population is in the control of the media; so that it appears a Goliath that no man nor political grassroots organization can ever erase and return America to where she was before Clinton, before Carter, even before Nixon.
I have an entirely different take. What the President is saying IMO is that DHS will not longer perform riot control for these sanctuary hell holes. It’s up to their own police to do that. but DHS will protect even more enthusiastically than they have been federally owned vehicles, buildings, and of course agents. And if they want help from the Feds to keep their sanctuary hell holes from being burned to the ground they will have to ask nicely and say “PLEASE”.
“I have instructed Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, that under no circumstances are we going to participate in various poorly run Democrat Cities with regard to their Protests and/or Riots unless, and until, they ask us for help….But, before we do so, you must use the word, “PLEASE.”
Agreed. Especially since Homan said deportation operations will continue. Lowering the temperature. Still getting it done.
Attention Susie Wiles:
New “Rules of Engagement” for federal agents (ICE, Border Patrol, and potentially the Military) in American cities. Here is the breakdown:
Federal Property is the Priority: The administration is narrowing its focus. Federal agents will “powerfully” guard federal buildings (like courthouses), but they will no longer proactively police the streets of “Democrat Cities” unless specific conditions are met.
The “Please” Requirement: This is a move to shift political accountability. By requiring local leaders to ask for help—and literally use the word “please”—the administration ensures that if a city remains chaotic, the blame rests on the Mayor or Governor for not requesting assistance.
A “Back-up” Strategy: The President is asserting that local police have the primary legal obligation to protect all property (including federal). Federal forces will only act as a secondary layer or “back up.”
Increased Force for Self-Defense: The statement explicitly warns that physical acts against officers (spitting, throwing rocks) will be met with “equal, or more” consequences, signaling a move toward more aggressive deterrence.
Trump is emphasizing
Law and Order through a lens of strictly defined boundaries. He is telling local leaders: “It’s your house; you clean it up. But if you touch our property, or if you finally admit you can’t handle it, we will come in with overwhelming force.”

Now do the governor and mayor order a withdrawal of their ‘red guards/brown shirts?
The Governor and Mayor do not command these red guard/brown shirts.
