From Tehran to my birthplace of Minneapolis, people are rising up against systems that wield violence without accountability.
In Iran, brave protestors confront a far-right theocratic regime that crushes dissent and denies basic freedoms. Here at home, tens of thousands are marching after the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Good- demanding justice, transparency, and an end to an unchecked federal force that takes lives and tears families apart.
Solidarity across borders means opposing authoritarian power everywhere and defending the right to live free from fear and state violence
–Democrat National Chairman Ken Martin, making an asinine comparison between Iran and the United States.
______________________________________________________________________
In Iran, protesters are risking death fighting for freedom from a brutal Islamic terrorist regime.
In Minneapolis, Radical Left lunatics and purple-haired schizos are melting down over law enforcement.
The head of the Democrat Party thinks they are the same.
–Statement from The White House, in response to Ken Martin’s idiocy.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent estimates that between $300-600 billion in federal funds are stolen every year. That is disturbing.
The United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia has opened a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. The investigation concerns the renovation of the Federal Reserve’s headquarters, and whether Mr. Powell lied to Congress.
Senator Thom Tillis (R. N.C.) vowed to block all Federal Reserve nominations until the criminal investigation into Mr. Powell was dismissed. Because Senator Tillis is an a$$.
The Department of Homeland Security is surging more ICE agents to Minnesota. Because there are a whole lot of criminal illegal aliens in the Land of Lakes.
Representative Ilhan Omar (D. Mn.) blamed the ICE agent for the recent shooting. According to the Representative from Somali, the ICE agent is at fault because he was in front of the woman’s automobile. If he had not been blocking her departure, she would not have had to run him over. Sigh.
Senator Mark Kelly is suing War Department Secretary Pete Hegseth for the formal censure he received, claiming it violates his First Amendment rights. No, it does not. Shut up, cry baby!
“The actions of ICE, they are unconstitutional, unlawful, they are cruel. They are rogue, they are racist, and they are terrorizing communities. This harm does not discriminate. It is coming for everyone. And that is exactly why ICE must be stopped, because they’re not operating with any constitutional due diligence. They are lawless, they are masked thugs. So, whether you are a white woman, whether you are black or brown, certainly our most vulnerable communities are the most vulnerable to the attacks of this rogue agency, but all of our communities are vulnerable to the attacks of this rogue agency.”
–Representative Aynna Pressly (D. Ma.), who is in a fierce battle with Puddin’head, Mazie Hirono, Tim Kaine, and Hakeem Jeffries for being the dumbest member of Congress.
MS NOW claims that ICE agents do not need guns, and should be disarmed. Probably just to make it a fair fight with Democrats.
“He has not held anyone in his administration accountable, and he’s a coward. He refuses to take accountability for himself. I think he should resign; this is so bad. And regardless, I hope he leaves the office in cuffs because what he’s done is criminal.”
–Representative Tom Emmer (R. Mn.), commenting on Governor Tampon Tim and the welfare fraud scandal in Minnesota.
On ABC’s The View, host Whoopi Goldberg wondered why NATO had not come to America’s aid, and toppled Donald Trump from office. The chicks on that show are just too stupid for words.
New York City Tenant’s Advocate Cea Weaver announced that the government would be taking over housing in the city, and that rent would be based on income. That is, one would pay to the city 30% of one’s income for housing.
Now let us think about this for a minute. Leaving aside the city’s authority to seize private property for these purposes is non-existent, let us consider this plan further. Comrade Mayor Mamdani (D.) and his minion, Miss Weaver, have declared that housing is a “right”. Well if it is a “right”, why must you pay for it?
On a related matter, readers will remember that Comrade Mayor Mamdani promised that public transportation would be provided, free of charge. Since his inauguration, subway fares have risen. Hmmmm.
In Minneapolis, Minnesota, a mob of anti-ICE demonstrators stormed a hotel housing ICE agents, and began destroying the lobby, breaking windows, and spraying graffiti all over the walls and furniture. Because criminal illegal aliens good, ICE agents bad.
The Maryland General Assembly is working on a law to prohibit ICE agents from joining the State Police. How stupid.
In Virginia, General Assembly Democrats are preparing a full on assault on the Constitution’s Second Amendment. Topping the list is a bill to ban all “assault weapons”. There is no such thing as an “assault weapon”. Democrats also want to hold gun manufacturers and retailers liable for the negligent and criminal use of guns by others. Never mind that this notion is both nonsensical, and contrary to federal law. Finally, Democrats want to eliminate concealed weapon permit reciprocity, which allows Virginians to carry weapons in other States. Apparently Democrats do not want Virginians to be protected in or out of the Commonwealth.
Clarke County, Virginia Democrats (all 3 of them) are demanding that the Board of Supervisors take all necessary actions to stop the development of a planned resort in . . . Loudoun County. Democrats are so anti-everything that they want to control what occurs in other jurisdictions.
At Breads Bakery, a Jewish bakery in New York City, unionized employees demanded that the owners cut all ties with, and support for Israel. Now this is just ridiculous. When did it become a political issue to provide or purchase a decent bagel or a loaf of rye bread? Must everything be viewed within the realm of politics?
McDonald’s restaurants are rolling out their biggest burger ever, “The Big Arch”. The Big Arch features two beef patties, three slices of cheese, lettuce, pickles, onions and a new tangy Big Arch sauce on a poppy and sesame seed bun. One problem: the sandwich is expected to be priced between $11-13.00. OUCH!
Oklahoma based Sonic restaurants is seen a boom in its business. Internet searches for the restaurant confirm this, having risen by 1,601%. Goodness! English recommends the double smash cheeseburger. It is good.
Actor Sean Penn brazenly lit up a cigarette, and smoked it–!!!–at his table at The Beverly Hilton Hotel, during the 2026 Golden Globe Awards. He did not go outside? Oh, the horrors!
Who cares? Who in the world actually cares? Perhaps everyone should lighten up a little, light a cigarette and have another drink. Inside!
Dollars to donuts, if Sean Penn had lit a marijuana joint, no one would have said a word.
British comic and actor John Cleese said that World Cup soccer matches should be pulled from the United States in the wake of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Sigh. Mr. Cleese is a very funny and talented man. He should stick to what he knows, and stay out of American politics.
Iranian security forces have nearly lost all control of major cities to pro-freedom demonstrators. Tehran, Mashad, and Shiraz are now largely in the control of the demonstrators.
Brooks Koepka has been reinstated to the PGA Tour. Similar offers have been made to Bryson DeChambeau, Cameron Smith, and Jon Rahm.
Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir has died at the age of 78.
