Thought for the Day

I saw a recent video taken by a young male, following a random middle aged white man down a street. He continually asked if he was ICE, and after not getting any response other than a head shake and a smirk he started repeatedly screaming at his target “Say ‘f#*k ICE’!” “Say it!” When his target wouldn’t, he resorted to calling him a fascist and calling attention to anyone within earshot what he had found.

Standard tactics of a revolutionary. It won’t be long before these well funded and organized mobs ignite the fire they want.

When will the pretense that the Democratic Party does not sanction violence end? I’m not a political person, haven’t voted in twelve years, but even I know the violence is planned in conjunction with Democrats. That there is no connection is a fiction hoisted upon us by the media controlled by the very same forces.

I often criticize those who go bleating on social media nearly every day that “Trump’s team isn’t doing anything” or “isn’t arresting people fast enough” or variations on that theme. Well, the corrupt magistrate in St. Paul who refused to sign a criminal complaint against the execrable Don Lemon for an obvious and well documented violation of Federal criminal law (the FACE Act) shows just how difficult their task is, as does the total absence of local law enforcement from the scene in MN.

Trump and Patel and Bondi certainly are not perfect, but they also are not idiots, and they must know what is at stake here. They know that the Left badly wants Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act for the Left’s own political purposes, and in my view, Trump is being careful to wait until it can be done with at least some assurance that, once insurrection is declared, the violence will be swiftly ended, with martial law in effect. A good early step, even a preparatory one, might be to temporarily close the border with Canada, as it appears that a large number of AWFLs have crossed over, Soros money in their bank accounts, to participate in the Minnesota cosplaying. Stranding them in the US and deporting them back home would send a nice message to Carney, whose alliance with the Chicoms (alleged by some credible Canadians to be of long standing) has now become more well known. The very public arrests of Walz, Frey, and the other Minnesota morons by the military, for trial by a military court, would also be welcome. I do not believe most people, including myself, have any real understanding of all that will be involved in enforcing the Insurrection Act, or exactly how it will be done, but we clearly are at a point where something has to give. This outright rebellion against the laws of the United States cannot be allowed to continue much longer.

I think it worthy of note that the rest of the blue hellholes have become relatively quiet while this plays out. Newsom, Bass, Pritzker, and the rest of the Democrat clown brigade are probably waiting to see what happens. I believe the others will also begin to increase the level of violence and loudly refuse to cooperate with the Feds in responding to it, unless severe action is taken soon to shut down this foolish game in Minnesota. Trump knows he has but one chance to do this right, that is to say, in such a way that the need for repeat performances will be minimized. That’s easy for me to say, but obviously difficult in practice, given the unanimity of the legacy media in its unholy alliance with the revolution, not to mention the unforgivable silence of most of the GOPe grifters in Congress. And a revolution is exactly what this is, make no mistake.

Of course, I can sit here at my little desk in my warm, dry study and pontificate all day long, but I don’t know what facts and options Trump and team have before them. I can only hope and pray that they have the facts and resources they need, and will use them lawfully and effectively, and soon. I close this little essay with one last thought: The Lefties and their money men clearly believe that they have Trump in a no-win situation. They seem to have forgotten how many times that has been the case in the past, and how many times they have been proven spectacularly wrong. I’m counting on that being the result here, as well. Any other outcome is unthinkable, to me at least.

If they don’t ‘fear death’, it might be because they cannot fathom they’ll ever be held accountable. By some accounts that dame appended to Renee Ganger shrieked at the ICE officer for using ‘real bullets’.

Not sure whose in charge of organizing the protests, though there have been reports they are financed by some outfit associated with Arabella Partners. I can see who runs the state and city government. These aren’t criminal masterminds. They’re crooked, incompetent clowns.

I don’t know if you can unwind this situation now:

Gov. Walz and his matching pair extremist Mayor are calling the latest incident murder. AOC wanting air time, has fanned the flames, calling the death of Alex Pretti “an execution.” The useless cowardly Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara has said “it does not matter” if the latest killing of the ICE protester and far-left activist Pretti “was legally justified.”

As said before, it is not good planning to confront an opponent on a battle ground of his choosing, with his choice of time for preparation, with his reinforcements in place, and with no allies on your side in state, city or law enforcement. A tactical withdrawal and a redeployment after the death of Rene Good would have shown which side was seeking to avoid further violent confrontation. All the deaths just validate their cause. That option is out the window now. Now the only choice appears to be escalation. (I don’t think so still.)

The Left is willing to have more pawns to die to smear the Trump admin efforts at immigration enforcement. They have limitless lives —of others—-to offer up for their goal of power and making Minnesota an AntiFa rebel state.

The situation is now even more delicate —-and explosive—than before. At this point a pullback and full after-action report needs to be done, to decide what changes need to be made going forward. For one thing, ICE probably needs to use a secure military base
for any future MN operations, because their activities in the city of Minneapolis are completely surveilled and they have no advantage of tactical operational security and surprise. ICE personnel also need to have military police support, since their activities governor and mayor will not do so. But a step back needs to be done swiftly-or total escalation, which outcome is unpredictable and potentially very dangerous. It’s one or the other.

It is not”cosplaying” insurrection—it is actual, simple insurrection. I have read that both local & state police were present when that church was invaded by the Leftists—the LEOs were stated to have stood by & done nothing to protect the Christians.

The federal government should not give an inch. If Walz attempts to use the Guard to attack ICE, federalize it immediately. Since the chief dispatcher of the Antifa brigades has been identified, one hopes she’ll be in a federal lock up ‘ere long (she’s a quondam campaign aide of Walz).

Walz is an idiot (contrast with Frey, who is just as slimy but who knows how to work his public image.) But even Walz is smart enough to realize that if he becomes enemy #1 of the administration, then the media will forgive him all of his past sins. So escalation is the only way out for him, and thus he will pursue the path of escalation (in the dumbest way possible, because he’s still Tim Walz.)

Don Surber on Substack disagrees with me on invoking the Insurrection Act, see the link. He may well be right, his point simply that Trump can wait this out, without leaving MN and without taking the Insurrection Act route.

Very interesting angle, one I should have considered.
