“Oh, Bear!” said Christopher Robin. “How I do love you!” “So do I,” said Pooh.”

It has been 3 days since Holland returned to Dallas. It is very quiet in our house. Even the martinis are a little sad.
Yesterday, English and I drove over to Purcellville to pick up some things at Harris Teeter, and for some lunch. As we drove by our golf club, we noticed that there was a foursome on the 7th green. It was 33 degrees. Which means when this group started, the temperatures were in the 20s. I love the game of golf, but . . . that is just nuts.
“Every time a cop attempts to make an arrest, they are required to do so with fists and legs and bats and rocks hitting them until either they give up or until a full-scale riot breaks out. Either way, they will pay for every single person they put their hand on. Don’t film, act. A call for confrontation.”
–Statement by an anti-ICE group, calling for violence against federal law enforcement agents.
Have you noticed that there are no anti-ICE riots or related disturbances outside Democrat led “sanctuary cities”? You do not see anti-ICE riots in Alabama, Texas, Louisiana, South Carolina, Georgia, or Florida cities. But in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Minneapolis, New York City, Chicago, Boston, and Seattle? Yes you do. So what people are for the rule of law, and what people are for mob rule? You know the answer.
Los Angeles, California has approved the establishment of “ICE free zones”. A meaningless, empty gesture.
New York State is passing legislation that would allow citizens to sue ICE in New York State courts for “civil rights” violations. Another meaningless, empty gesture which will be quickly neutered by the federal courts.
Minneapolis, Minnesota Mayor Jacob Frey (D.) refuses to cooperate with ICE in the matter of apprehending an illegal alien who killed a young woman while driving drunk in the city. Mayor Frey insists that the woman’s death was not a big deal, since it was not murder. She’s still dead, Mayor Frey. At the hands of an illegal alien committing a criminal act.
In fact, neither Mayor Frey, nor Governor Jazz Hands (D. Mn.) ever uttered a single word in sympathy for the victims of illegal aliens’ criminal acts. Not. One. Word. Disgusting!
The Department of Justice launched a criminal investigation into Mayor Frey and Governor Jazz Hands for conspiracy to impede federal law enforcement. LOCK THEM UP!
In response to the news of the DOJ’s criminal investigation, the Minnesota Department of Corrections issued a statement that it honors all federal detainer requests, including ICE detainer requests. That is a lie. They do not. The Minnesota Department of Corrections routinely ignores ICE detainer requests, and releases violent illegal aliens into Minnesota communities.
To all members of the Trump administration. The incitement and engagement in state violence against the American people is a serious crime. Donald Trump will leave office long before the five-year statute of limitations expires. You are hereby put on notice.
–Statement issued by Representative Hakeen Jeffries (D. N.Y.).
This is a threat. Democrats are going to prosecute “their political enemies” if they regain power. It is the duty of every American to ensure that the Democrats never regain power.
“We will arrest you. We will handcuff you. We will close those cuffs. We will put you in a cell. We will set your bail and I’m going to ask for it to be appropriately high. We will take you to trial and I’m going to do everything in my power to convict you and we will make sure you serve your entire sentence because Donald Trump has no power, whatsoever, to pardon you. That’s the way the law works.”
–Philadelphia, Pennsylvania District Attorney Larry Krasner, threatening ICE agents if they mount operations in the city.
That is not how the law works. Not at all.
It is interesting that Larry Krasner never wants to put anyone in jail. That is, unless they are a federal law enforcement agent.
A U.S. Senate committee hearing found Senator Josh Hawley (R. Mo.) asking a medical doctor–a Democrat invited expert witness–a very simple question; “Can men become pregnant?” Very simple question, well within the field of knowledge of a medical doctor. Indeed, well within the field of knowledge of any living person. The doctor witness did not answer the question. Senator Hawley asked the question a total of 12 times. The medical doctor never answered the question. What a sad state of affairs we find ourselves in, in 2026.
A lawsuit has been filed against former U.S. Senator Kyrsten Sinema (D. Az.), alleging that the Senator broke up a family. According to the complaint’s allegations, Senator Sinema carried on an affair with her security guard, turned him onto the drug ecstasy, and galivanted around the country partying and . . . . Huh. Who knew a U.S. Senator could be so much fun?
Louisiana employed a DOGE like commission, and the results are in: the commission found $1 billion in savings across 17 different State agencies. WOO HOO!
In New York State, it is illegal for couples to dance in restaurants. Illegal. But New York State wants to solve the problem by creating a “license” to permit dancing. Now that will require a restaurant to apply to the bureaucracy for permission, and to pay a license fee, but . . . why do we permit the government to regulate every aspect of our lives? You need a license to dance in a restaurant?
In Jacksonville, Florida, Jennifer Cruz observed ICE agents, assisted by Florida State troopers, arresting illegal aliens. Miss Cruz pulled over, and stopped her automobile. She got out, marched over to a State trooper, and punched him in the face. When asked why she would do such a thing, Miss Cruz responded that she disagreed with the enforcement of federal immigration laws. Okay. State troopers arrested Miss Cruz, charging her with several felonies. There were no riots, and no protests. Because in Florida, the police do not play around.
In Rocky Mount, Virginia, a monument is being erected to celebrate “colored soldiers” that served in The Late Unpleasantness. To be more specific, the monument will celebrate “colored soldiers” that served in the Union Army. In the Commonwealth of Virginia? No. I cannot–will not–support this. No. This is wrong.
Virginia General Assembly Democrats are advancing legislation which would require public schools to teach that the January 6, 2021 riot was “an unprecedented, violent attack on United States democratic institutions, infrastructure, and representatives for the purpose of overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election.” No alternative versions or suggestions will be permitted. Uh, huh. And the George Floyd riots were justified and “mostly peaceful”. Indoctrination at its finest.
In advance of France’s promised military flotilla to protect Greenland from the evil United States, European nations sent an advance team. Germany, Sweden, Norway, France, and Great Britain all sent troops to Greenland. The force totaled 34 soldiers. That is, not 34 soldiers from each country. The total from all the countries is 34. Great Britain only sent 1 soldier. What a laughable demonstration of weakness.
Meanwhile, Denmark’s foreign minister that President Trump’s concerns about growing Chinese and Russian menaces to Greenland are “reasonable”. Hmmmm.
For all the criticisms directed at President Trump for his desire to acquire Greenland, it should be noted that it is not an original idea with him. The United States expressed interest in acquiring Greenland as early as the mid-1800s. Both Presidents Truman and Eisenhower offered to purchase Greenland. Funny, but I do not hear a lot of criticism directed at those 2 presidents, 1 Democrat and 1 Republican. Hmmmm.
Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney has cozied up to China, signing a trade deal which will drop Canada’s 100% tariff on Chinese electric automobiles down to around 6%. This will have the effect of destroying Canada’s automobile manufacturing industry. Seems stupid, correct? But Mr. Carney is driven by a belief that President Trump is turning the United States into an authoritarian country.
Whoa! Wait, what? Mr. Carney believes that President Trump is transforming the United States into an authoritarian country? Newsflash, Mr. Prime Minister; China IS an authoritarian country. It has been since . . . forever. It has always been an authoritarian country, whether under the Emperors, or the Communist Party. Mark Carney is a dumba$$!
Indiana beat the University of Miami to win the College Football Championship. Congratulations.
University of Miami quarterback Carson Beck admitted that he does not attend class, and has not done so for 2 years. Huh? While he claims that having graduated from the University of Georgia, he is working on other degrees at Miami, he insists that he is leaving school. Why not? He is not attending class! Student athlete my Aunt Maude!
One would think that with all that free time, Carson Beck might have played better. One would think.
