Dancing with the devil?

 

"We need the good guys in every corner of the globe to take care of their bad guys. The United States will always be there for backup, but our days in being in the front lines need to take a rest." 

Here is my question. Is Donald Trump about ready to try and negotiate with this snake in the grass from Iran? Is he about to make the same mistake that prior presidents have made? Ali Khamenei is not to be trusted. Not one inch. As half our country is wetting their pants over the accidental killings of two people in the ICE riots, Iran mows down their countrymen by the thousands and never loses a minute's worth of sleep over it. No, Iran's rulers practice thuggery. They are not to be trusted - not even a speck.

Some might ask the question about why did we show Iran our "big stick" and then decide not to use it? I can only think of one reason. Bombs. After supplying Ukraine with ammo for years, we are short on ammo. Do we have enough in inventory to defeat Iran? Most assuredly. But then we would have even fewer bombs and missiles. And if China makes a move on Taiwan, we need as many bullets in our holster as possible.

This Friday, we are sending our top negotiators over to the region to have some face-to-face negotiations with Iran. I hope the first predicate we put forward is plain and simple - if they keep killing their own people just for protesting, the United States will pick up where Midnight Hammer left off. The second predicate will be just as simple - if Iran's proxies do as much as burp in public, we will use our velvet brick, sans the velvet. It will not be pretty for Iran nor those who serve Iran.

Donald Trump does his best when he is working on the new Monroe Doctrine - or as some say, the "Donroe Doctrine". Focus on getting Venezuela squared away, freeing Cuba, teaching Mexico about law and order, getting the Greenland agreement agreed to and inked, and then helping Canada grow up. If Donald Trump can do all of that before his term is up, they might indeed expand Mount Rushmore to include his bust.

It sure would be nice if Saudi as well as some of the others in that neighborhood could take care of business. Why does it always need to be us? Just like with Ukraine, why us? Especially, when this is a Euro problem first. Japan is ready to step into the gap when it comes to Indo-Pacific issues. We need the good guys in every corner of the globe to take care of their bad guys. The United States will always be there for backup, but our days in being in the front lines need to take a rest. 

 

First things first - no sanctuary anything

 

Republicans are also itching to have some additional language added to the DHS bill. Like, making sanctuary anything be illegal. Having mandatory voter ID to unsure illegals are not allowed to vote. More safeguards to ensure illegals are not allowed to get government benefits.

In our state which is being ever more defined as the "upside down world" (thanks Stranger Things), one might ask how we put the brakes on. Better yet, how to put the brakes on and start reversing the incredible damage the loony left has done to us. To me, this anti-ICE thing all started with sanctuary cities or sanctuary states. All of a sudden, with the state or city governments harboring federal offenders, ICE became the villain, and not the offender. Why? For reasons which I cannot fathom nor explain, cities and states love to protect the vile and lawless. Ergo, the reason for our insurrections and riots in the streets of some big blue cities.

Currently, we are in a partial shutdown. Soon to be less of a partial, but still partial. Why? The Democrats want the DHS funding withheld so they can "bake in some ICE reforms." News flash - ICE is just fine thank you. What I will tell the Democrats is this - be careful of what you wish for. Republicans are also itching to have some additional language added to the DHS bill. Like, making sanctuary anything be illegal. Having mandatory voter ID to unsure illegals are not allowed to vote. More safeguards to ensure illegals are not allowed to get government benefits.

Take Minnesota for example. Or, as some lawyer from Washington State called us yesterday, "the train wreck state." Not only should our sanctuary status be stripped away, Frey, Walz, Ellison and others need to walk the plank (figuratively). We have some VERY bad actors in this state. Up to their eyeballs in graft. Insurrectionists. Some might even call it treason. In any event, the time to clean house is long past due. Will getting rid of our bad actors and reforming all our nonsense make this state more livable? Maybe - but it will be a good start.

One more thing. Many are now putting forward an offer to help the Canadian separatist movement. Like, the US will take Alberta, and Canada can have Minnesota. Please don't send this state up to the land of Mark Carney. Yes, there are fates worse than living under Tampon Timmy. Believe it or not, living under Carney would be worse. Don't believe me? Just ask anybody from Alberta. 

 

Another mockery for the Noble Peace Prize

"The mayor of this sad city which has been nominated for this faux peace prize is Jacob Frey. A piece of work he is. He will not cooperate with the feds in getting hardened criminals (who are also illegal), into federal custody. He should be arrested and charged with obstruction. Fired. Run out of town. But no - he is lionized."

No, this is not "clickbait". No, this is not satire from the Onion nor the Babylon Bee. This is from a news source quoting The Nation publication. The Nation has written a letter to the Noble organization in Norway, formally nominating the City of Minneapolis for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize. Why? Because of the "peaceful protests" that this city has promoted all winter long. Did you get that part about the "peaceful protests"? Those I have not seen. I have seen riots. I have seen insurrections. I have seen mayhem which resulted in two deaths. Plus - I have seen one of these "peaceful protesters" bite off the finger of an ICE Agent. 

The "peaceful protesters", whom many have suspected are paid by the Tides Foundation, are out in the streets, in churches, at Target Stores, or wherever - just to protest the federal government following federal law. Yes, the same law that Bill Clinton signed into law during his tenure. The same law that Barack Obama used to earn the nickname, "Deporter in Chief". The same law which Joe Biden intentionally ignored. But be that as it may - this law, that the loony left ignore when Democrats were in charge, is now radioactive because Trump is in charge. Have no doubt - this has NOTHING to do with the useful idiots loving illegal immigrants. It has everything to do with TDS.

Many of these latter-day hippies are leftovers from the Floyd riots. Or the Free Palestine protests. Or the real old protesters are the same ones who spit on our returning servicemen when they came home from Viet Nam. I had my own close encounter (while in uniform) with three of these mutts in the San Francisco airport in 1971. What is my point? Always the same minions who are looking for a cause celeb to create havoc. Why? They, no matter their age, are still unruly children. 

The mayor of this sad city which has been nominated for this faux peace prize is Jacob Frey. A piece of work he is. He will not cooperate with the feds in getting hardened criminals (who are also illegal), into federal custody. He should be arrested and charged with obstruction. Fired. Run out of town. But no - he is lionized. He is honored by the chattering class as a true working-class hero. Why did the city of Minneapolis elect him? Because in Minnesota, we elect idiots. Time after time after time.

Truthfully, the Nobel Peace Prize has been a mockery ever since it was awarded to Barack Obama for (drum roll please) - what he might do. Seriously, not for anything he did, but what he might do in the future. Ergo, we are where we are right now. Living in the upside-down make-believe world of nonsense.   

Hello February - did you bring your better angels?

"We really need to start acting like adults in the room. This insurrection in our streets, in churches, at Target Stores - needs to stop. Governors and mayors who defy federal law need to be arrested and charged. This has gone way, way too far and gone on too long. Now two people who did not need to die, have died. Why? Playing with fire."

Well, we got January done so far in 2026. What a mess. Europe is a mess, Canada is a bigger mess, and even our beloved country is a mess. Just like Barack Obama set the stage for a really tough four years for Donald Trump, Joe Biden set the stage for an even tougher four years for Donald Trump's second term. But even with that Trump is soldiering on. Let's check on some things Trump has on his "to-do" list.

Iran - Sorry Charlie the Mullah - time for you to go. Trump has modified the old Teddy Roosevelt saying of "Walk softly but carry a big stick." Trump likes the big stick all right, but he also likes to walk not so softly. Trump has his pieces in place off the coast of Iran should they not get the hint and leave their country. If need be, Trump can use his carrier strike force along with Air Force assets and rain down you know what on the Revolutionary Guard as well as the Mullah club. Killing tens of thousands of innocent Iranians in the streets crossed Trump's red line. This should be resolved one way or the other in February.

Canada - Dear Mark Carney, we are not the enemy. Sorry our president had to have some tough truth talk with you. Your country DOES exist because of America. And playing footsie with Xi of China is like petting a rattlesnake. Is this the future you really want? By the way, better check on your country. Alberta is ready to bolt, and Saskatchewan might be close behind. What does that mean? Many western Canadians want to be free. They don't want to be subjects of another globalist after the Trudeau regime. Ripping Trump and America at Davos was foolish. I look for repentance by Carney very soon - maybe even in February.

Europe - What in the Sam Hill is going on with you people? Now you want more nukes, supplied by the UK and France to offset the Russian threat? Because you think the US will leave you high and dry if push comes to shove? You have bigger fish to fry. First off, listen to Trump. Your out-of-control immigration policies have almost ruined many of your countries - especially Sweeden. And like Canada, please don't play footsie with Xi of China. No good can come from this. NATO is solid, Russia is waning, and we are still your friend. But know this - Trump is not Biden. Trump stays awake and does pay attention. Want a solid future? Then listen to daddy.

US - We really need to start acting like adults in the room. This insurrection in our streets, in churches, at Target Stores - needs to stop. Governors and mayors who defy federal law need to be arrested and charged. This has gone way, way too far and gone on too long. Now two people who did not need to die, have died. Why? Playing with fire. The head of the Minneapolis Police Union told the New York Post if his cops were allowed to cooperate with ICE, those two people who died probably would not have been killed. This one will hurt. Democrats have to start acting like Americans again, instead of the enemy within. Time to grow up folks - the world is watching.

Will February bring better angels? I sure hope so. Right now, with things being so out of control, one might think we are on the verge of hearing the trumpets blow. Meaning? The final days. If that is the case, we really need to up our game. Time might not be our friend.  

     

Time to say good-bye? Maybe good riddance?

 

"It is high time to kick some dirt over this walking dead organization before it really starts to stink. We don't need it - for anything. In fact, I will go out on a limb and say this - if every country in this world had M (fill in the blank) G A, this world would be a much better and more peaceful place."

Gasp! Please tell me it is not true! The United Nations, the zit in NYC, is running out of other people's money! In fact, according to the statist who heads up this bloated and useless organization, if more money (and lots of it) does not come in by July, the UN might have to shutter the doors and windows and close up shop. But wait! If we don't have the UN to step in and stop wars, who would it be? Seems like Donald Trump is doing that job, and the UN is not.

I remember back in the old days when the UN really acted like its charter. Well, sort of. The UN would send in the blue helmeted soldiers to help broker a peace and stop a war from spreading. Well - that did not last long. The organization, which was started from the ashes of both World War II and the League of Nations had a great charter. It was truly going to be the savior of humanity. No more world wars, no more ground wars in Europe. Whoops - forgot about Ukraine. We can see how effective the UN was in getting Russia kicked out of Ukraine.

And what about China? What if they invade a sovereign country like Taiwan? I know, I know - the UN will do nothing. Not even write a nasty letter. In fact, the UN has become so feckless, that their cause celeb now is climate. Even with that, the world's greatest climate polluter is China. And what has the UN done to fix that? Again, nada.

One might be moved to ask the very difficult question of Secretary- General Antonio Guterres - what in the Sam Hill does the UN do these days? I know that Trump (unlike Biden) has been pulling US money out of the UN where it appears to be nothing more than a money pit. Of course, the UN is now blaming US for their financial woes. Keep in mind, many other countries are behind in their dues. Maybe they too, are getting some "buyer's remorse" on this POS organization.

It is high time to kick some dirt over this walking dead organization before it really starts to stink. We don't need it - for anything. In fact, I will go out on a limb and say this - if every country in this world practiced M (fill in the blank) G A, this world would be a much better and more peaceful place.

One more thing. Tens of thousands of Iranian civilians have been mowed down by their government while protesting. The UN has done NOTHING to stop it. I guess the US will again have to be the world's cop and go in and teach the Mullahs a lesson. The Saudis have told Rubio do it sooner than later. We warned the Mullahs - FAFO. I guess it might be time to find out.

 

Unhinged, unfit and unwell

"Walz was asked if we are in a civil war in Minnesota, and he bristled at the question. Well - are we? This is not how civilized people act Mr. Walz. And thanks to you, Frey and Ellison for throwing gas on the fire, our once fine city looks like a rugby match instead of a cozy place to live."

Hopeless Walz thinks our state is cool because we have so many "bad asses". How about if I restructure that moronic statement by simply stating that our state is cold because we have so many asses who act badly? And now, our latest bogey man (ICE) is responsible for kids not going to school, people not going to work, the sun not coming out, and not having enough fresh bananas at the store. Putting it another way, our state, and to an extent the rest of the country, has become unhinged, unfit and unwell.

America, what in the world has happened to you? Please don't follow the lead of the Democrats as they continue to be the party of double standards. Whereas ICE was "cool" back in the days of Barry Obama, millions were deported, and dozens died in ICE encounters, nobody ever heard a peep about "reigning ICE in". Now ICE is looked upon as eviler than Russians, Iranians, Cubans, North Koreans and Chinese all rolled into one.

I will tell you what has changed (besides the fact that Donald Trump was elected again) - civil disobedience has gone from passive to radioactive. You know, the Hopeless Walz "bad ass" thing. We have allowed the Antifa crowd, the anarchists, the latter-day hippies to treat our LEOs like crap - especially our federal LEOs. What do the miscreants really want? They want open borders. They want mass amnesty. They want another monolithic voting block of Democrat and socialist voters. And just like a prairie fire (or a Minneapolis Floyd fire), the insurrection is spreading. First from Minnesota, then onward to any other blue city or state.

Many of the bleeding hearts around town keep asking the question, "Why does ICE need to kill innocent law-abiding citizens?" Here is the answer, short and sweet - they don't want to kill anybody. Period. No LEO does. But the two people who have died at the hands of ICE have put themselves in harm's way. Argue if you must, but that is a cold hard fact. Stay home, don't obstruct the LEOs and everybody stays safe. I am not saying that anybody deserved to die, but common sense is always the best safeguard. When common sense goes out the window, the chance of having a tragedy goes up fast.

Walz was asked if we are in a civil war in Minnesota, and he bristled at the question. Well - are we? This is not how civilized people act Mr. Walz. And thanks to you, Frey and Ellison for throwing gas on the fire, our once fine city looks like a rugby match instead of a cozy place to live. Maybe having everybody trying to act like a "bad ass" was not such a good idea, Hopeless. Just saying... 

Minnesota Strong? Or Minnesota Wrong.

"Time to grow up Minnesota. Now you want famous Amy as your next governor. That will be a very large mistake. But who cares? The latter-day hippies have wrecked this state beyond repair. Now, similar to California, the U-Haul trailers will be headed south in record numbers. Who will remain here? The loud and clamorous anarchists, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."   

Good morning. I am coming to you again, live and direct, from the embarrassment capital of the nation - maybe even the world. In this land called Minnesota, where black is white, wrong is right, and day is often called night, this state has the ability to grab the national headlines day after day after day. And for what purpose one might ask. For doing the wrong things at all the wrong times. BUT - in the eyes of the sheeple who live in the dark, dark, blue (so dark blue it is almost black) Twin Cities, they who still live there have proclaimed this state to be "Minnesota Strong". Why? Good question.

The 'Resist" movement, which has been a thing with the latter-day hippies ever since Donald Trump won the last election, has been supplanted now with a new moniker - Minnesota Rebel Alliance. These are children who are "down with the struggle", because in their juvie eyes, the struggle is real. But here is the reality check from some of the normals who are still stuck in this gulag - Minnesota Strong is nothing more than Minnesota Wrong, and those who adhere to Minnesota Strong are (as Linen called them) - useful idiots.

Thanks to the Tides Foundation (Soros money), the fertile ground in the Twin Cities has allowed the widest and wildest mayhem we have seen since the Floyd riots. As the ruling elite told us after Floyd, "it is good to let them (the anarchists) burn off some steam". But again, the cold hard facts need to come into the light. Buckle up kiddos, because this one might hurt.

ICE is on the side of the angels - or at least the Supreme Court. How do I know? In 2012 President Obama (then the "Deporter in Chief") sued Arizona to allow ICE to lawfully deport illegal aliens. The court sided with Barry. Might have been the only good thing Obama did while in office.

In any event, for the latter-day-hippies and Antifa to continue to obstruct ICE from doing its job, puts them at odds with SCOTUS. Let me put this in language where everybody, especially those obstructing can understand. We are NOT Minnesota Strong - we are Minnesota WRONG. It is time for Tom Homan to put the nice guy image away for a while and start kicking butt and taking names. It is time for Minnesota to start acting like a state again, and not a penal colony where the guards are on vacation and the cages are left open.

Time to grow up Minnesota. Now you want famous Amy as your next governor. That will be a very large mistake. But who cares? The latter-day hippies have wrecked this state beyond repair. Now, similar to California, the U-Haul trailers will be headed south in record numbers. Who will remain here? The loud and clamorous anarchists, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
