A war whose time has come...

"If you are a praying person, pray for our brave men and women in our Armed Forces who are now in harm's way. Pray for Israel, who might be on the cusp of a long-sought peace. And pray for the citizens of Iran, who have been under the thumb, or under the boot of the Mullahs for almost fifty years." 

Spoiler alert! It was just disclosed this morning that our intel has determined that immediately after Operation Midnight Hammer concluded, the snakes who control Iran continued to enrich uranium at alternate sights. Today, at 10am Iran time, the hammer fell. All those ships and aircraft which have been staged in the Iranian area, were given the "go" signal from President Trump. The war to get rid of the Mullahs, which has taken us almost 50 years to gather the resolve to finish, is now under way. It is a war whose time has come.

In the past few weeks, if one of the Mullahs had asked me if they were in any danger, I would have only told him one thing - Donald Trump is not Barack Obama or Joe Biden. He is a man not to screw around with. They should know from what happened to General Soleimani. Donald Trump is a man of great resolve. He is the backbone behind Operation Epic Fury. The F-35I of Israel as well as stealthy aircraft of United States Armed Forces, landed the first blow during the middle of the night (our time). Who was targeted? The upper echelon of the Iranian government and military.

Now the return volley has started. Iran is launching some (not many) ballistic missiles toward Israel and countries in the area which are housing or hosting our military. We are now broadcasting a message to Iran in their native language of Farsi. The message basically said that we (the US) told you that help is on the way. And now it is here. We will set the table by getting rid of as many of your leaders as possible, but it is up to the citizens to do the rest. As Trump finished his statement, "Don't let this moment pass you by."

We have come a long way since Jimmy Carter. When the radicals took over Iran in 1979, and held Americans hostage for 444 days, we were helpless (or feckless) to do anything. For decades we watched Iran be the bad guys of the neighborhood, threatening Israel with destruction on almost a daily basis. Today, the reckoning has begun. The evil leaders of Iran soon will be no more. Isreal and the USA will clean house, and then this evil theocracy in Iran will be no more. A new Iran, a free Iran, will be reborn.

If you are a praying person, pray for our brave men and women in our Armed Forces who are now in harm's way. Pray for Israel, who might be on the cusp of a long-sought peace. And pray for the citizens of Iran, who have been under the thumb, or under the boot of the Mullahs for almost fifty years. 

 

 

Hate Canada? Hate Canadians? Or love both?

 

"When Trump invited Trudeau to the White House, he teased the Canadian about Canada becoming our 51st state, and Justin could be the governor. It was all a joke - Trump was pulling his leg. The good citizens of Alberta, however, did not see that as a joke. They are all on board with leaving Canada and become our 51st state."

The answer is quite simple to both questions. I, like most Americans, love Canada. Have since I was a kid. I also have met some very nice Canadians in my lifetime. Served with some. Do I hate Canadians? Not a bit. I do, however, have animus to what their government has done to Canada. The socialist government has taken this great country, almost a twin to our country, and turned it into a northern version of Venezuela. How so? Rich in resources, and a government which will not allow the people to take advantage of them.

First off, Mark Carney needs to retire. Because of his p***s envy of Donald Trump, he has caused a rift (an unnecessary one) between our two countries. Mostly about tariffs (and now maybe hockey also). When Trump talked to Trudeau as well as Carney about the unbalance of tariffs charged, those two globalists just smiled and nodded. Like Biden would do. But Trump likes reciprocal tariffs. He told Carney that if he did not lower his tariffs on us, we would raise our tariffs on them. And just like that, Trump was Hitler. 

Trump is right when he said Canada needs us. They need us more than we need them. We would like to have them as a most favored trading partner and a friend, but so long as Carney plays footsie with Xi of China, that will not happen. Somebody (whom I shall not name) said we should do the same to Carney as we did to Maduro. Get him out of office, send him to Greenland, and purge the socialist flavor out of the drinking water in Ottawa. Speaking of which, Carney may have his following in eastern Canada, but out west he is about as popular as a root canal. 

Will peace ever return to the shire? That is, short of electing another globalist like Joe Biden? The socialists in Europe loved Biden as does the eastern part of Canada. Donald Trump however - the globalists do not know how to deal him. Why? Donald Trump likes to tip the nest so the baby birds can learn to fly on their own. He wants every country to succeed on their own merit. Like, "Make {fill in the blank} Great Again". It is working fine for America, and Trump knows it will work fine for other countries as well. 

There is irony in this past year or so with our relations with Canada. When Trump invited Trudeau to the White House, he teased the Canadian about Canada becoming our 51st state, and Justin could be the governor. It was all a joke - Trump was pulling his leg. The good citizens of Alberta, however, did not see that as a joke. They are all on board with leaving Canada and becoming our 51st state. As they say in hockey - Score!   

NATO? Some of the members are now soft as a sponge

 

Some look across the pond and see Donald Trump and hate him because he is not like Biden and Obama. Others see Donald Trump and are very happy he has replaced 'Sleepy Joe' Biden. Finally. some look at Donald Trump and want to be just like him. Those are the ones who will come out just fine on the other side. 

Here is the good news. After four bloody years of fighting, this is the weakest that Russia has been for many, many years. Nukes aside that is. Here is the bad news. NATO has some formerly strong partners who have turned into pussy cats. Weaklings. Sure, Poland is strong and getting stronger every month. Italy has seen the error of its ways with unfettered immigration and is fixing it. But the UK is a mess and getting messier. Canada? About ready to split in half, as some in the west have had it with Carney's socialist BS.

Some in the Euro Zone blame the US for this newfound weakness. Particularly, Donald Trump, aka "Daddy". Trump would love to see a stronger NATO. But NATO wants the US to be like it was under Biden and Obama - and ATM machine for Europe. But Europe needs to realize to be strong, it needs to have control of its borders. No nation can survive as a total welfare state. Even though Biden tried to change our culture to open borders, Trump slammed them shut just in time. 

The UK is so petty right now, it has stalled the talks with the US to gain control over this pimple of an island in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Why? Is it a vacation spot? Not hardly. It is however in the neighborhood of Diego Garcea, and the US would like to beef up this very strategic location for security purposes. But Starmer, because he can be a "Richard", has decided to stall the negotiations. Even though the US having a stronger presence in the Indian Ocean would benefit everybody - including the UK. Go figure.

And Canada, what in the world? You booed our National Anthem on the world stage in Olympic hockey? Just because Mark Carney got his feelings hurt by Donald Trump. What Carney should be doing right now is fixing his socialist country. It is a mess. Alberta is all but gone, and Saskatchewan and BC might be right behind them. Why does half of Canada want out right now? Liberty and freedom. Trudeau and Carney have treated western Canada like serfs and subjects. What do folks in western Canada really want? To be a part of US. These western Canadians were not the ones booing the US at the Olympics.

If NATO does not get its act together, boot out illegal immigrants, secure borders, live up to the NATO financial requirements, then NATO might indeed be in its final days. Sad to say this once stalwart organization is now weakened by statists and globalists.

Some look across the pond, see Donald Trump and hate him because he is not like Biden and Obama. Others see Donald Trump and are very happy he has replaced "Sleepy Joe" Biden. Finally. some look at Donald Trump and want to be just like him. Those are the ones who will come out just fine on the other side. 

Under the dangling Sword of Damocles

 

"There is one more thing. Iran has made it known, both directly and indirectly, that Iran will close the Strait of Hormuz as well. That would cripple the world economy, even if shut for a short period of time. The price of gas might return to Biden levels, and some other items might also increase in price. But to take Iran off the table of terrorism, to get rid of their theocracy, this might be the price we need to pay."

For those who are paying attention to all the military stuff, the clock might be clicking down to midnight. That is, for the Mullahs in Iran. For weeks now, for the bad guys who are running Iran, it appears that the dangling Sword of Damocles is getting closer to breaking free and falling. Iran knows it, Israel knows it, and the United States sure the heck knows it. And when the sword falls (figuratively) on Iran, it will make Operation Midnight Hammer look like a kiss on the cheek by comparison.

Negotiations (if you can call them that) continue with Iran. The liars from ancient Persia have told our team that 1) they are not getting rid of the present government, and 2) they will continue to enrich uranium. Not to make a bomb of course, just to have it for "peaceful purposes." Nobody on the United States negotiation team has "stupid" tattooed on their forehead - in other words, nobody is taking the bait. Trump said, no uranium - period. That is a bright red line.

With negotiations going nowhere, and with the United States "armada" sitting off Iranian waters, Trump has ordered the and F-22 squadron to England. Why does that matter? The F-22, which acts more like a sixth-generation jet than a fifth-generation jet, is the finest platform in the world right now - hands down. During Midnight Hammer, they were only on station for four days until used. If history repeats on the four-day window, expect hostilities to commence this weekend.

What can we expect if hostilities do break out? It will probably be the toughest fight we have been in for years. Iran has been expecting this for years. Are they ready for it? Sure are. Israel will take the brunt of much of the return fire. Why? Easy target. And any US base will also be on the table. But what they really want, which would be huge prize, is to sink one of our ships. In the eyes of the Mullahs, that would make the good guys "tuck tail and run". The war would be over, with Iran remain standing.

There is one more thing. Iran has made it known, both directly and indirectly, that Iran will close the Strait of Hormuz as well. That would cripple the world economy, even if shut for a short period of time. The price of gas might return to Biden levels, and some other items might also increase in price. But to take Iran off the table of terrorism, to get rid of their theocracy, this might be the price we need to pay.

What is wrong with white liberal women???

 

"And now I will say it, so get ready to hang up on me if you are a Trump hater. When I saw the men, arm in arm, singing the Anthem, this was my thought - MAGA is on display. America, the true America, is on display. Proud to be an American? I know I am!"   

First a caveat. I saw this story on social media this morning, so there is a chance it might be false. BUT - knowing how many liberals react to anything good and pure, I am guessing it might be truth. 

This posting was the picture of a white, liberal woman looking very angry. In this post, she was imploring her white, liberal sisters to shun the Olympic Gold Medal winning hockey team. Do not watch the State of the Union, as the Goldies were to be honored by Trump. The Olympic women, who also are Goldies, were invited, but declined. In any event, this white, liberal woman not only seethed hatred towards our latest heroes but also told her following to never forgive them. For what? For being with Trump tonight.

Let's revisit the list of offenses that our Goldie men did. First off - they won. Picked on a socialist country like Canada. SHAME! No wonder Mark Carney hates us! Then, the boys skated around the rink, with American flags in tow. Not upside down, like the liberal, white women prefer. No, our stars and bars were there for all to see. It was American pride on display.

One final thing they did which was simply unforgivable to the liberal, white women. Arm in arm, they sang the National Anthem. Nobody knelt, nobody turned his back, and nobody raised his fist. This was a love song for America, sung by a bunch of kids who love every inch of this great country.

Why can't white, liberal women act like adults, just for this one very proud moment in our history? Why is their TDS so strong? Why do they hate with such passion? Did they not learn in church that hate is toxic, and our Lord wants us to trade hate in for forgiveness. Maybe if the white, liberal women went to church, they would not be so bitter. They could be better, not bitter.

What do I think about the heroes who played the best of the best and won? I am talking both the men and women. I salute them. I am so, so proud of them, and happy for them. Every bit of kudos they receive from adoring fans are Fine with me. Being honored by our president is fine by me. 

And now I will say it, so get ready to hang up on me if you are a Trump hater. When I saw the men, arm in arm, singing the Anthem, this was my thought - MAGA is on display. America, the true America, is on display. Proud to be an American? I know I am! 

  

Can we MMGA (Make Mexico Great Again)?

 

"Many of the cartels are armed with stuff similar to a Delta Force unit. Amazing what can be bought on the black market. The cartels fight the Mexican military and Mexican cops all the time. And the cartels are good at it. But who is better equipped and trained than the cartels are? Us. It might be time to send in the carvery - invited of course, by President Sheinbaum."

Holy smokes! Talk about a throwback to our wild, wild west! Mexico, as most of us know, is the land of drugs, gangs, and cartels. President Trump had given the Mexican President a forced choice. Either you take our help in providing intel to get rid of a Mexican Drug Lord, or Trump was going to send in our special forces, and we would take care of business. President Sheinbaum agreed to the intel assist, and the Mexican military and cops killed the drug lord (El Mencho) in a gun fight. And then all hell broke loose.

Puerto Vallarta was particularly hard hit. Wait - this is a vacation town for American northern snowbirds. The bad guys probably know that and that is why it was chosen to be the object of their wrath. The American ambassador has advised all Americans to "shelter in place". Flights are cancelled, and word has it food is hard to come by. Some vacation.

I have advised friends for years to stay away from Mexico. Until Mexico can get ahold of their cartel problem, and make Mexico safe again, stay in the southern parts of America for warmth in February. Just so I don't sound like a hypocrite, my wife and I stopped in Cabo a few years back as part of a cruise. We went ashore, but I never felt fully safe, even with a cruise organizing it. On our last cruise to Hawaii a few years ago, there was a stop at a northern Mexico town just south of the border. We took a pass on going ashore on that one.

Many of the cartels are armed with stuff similar to a Delta Force unit. Amazing what can be bought on the black market. The cartels fight the Mexican military and Mexican cops all the time. And the cartels are good at it. But who is better equipped and trained than the cartels are? Us. It might be time to send in the carvery - invited of course, by President Sheinbaum.

Can the US finish up with Venezuela, fix Cuba, effect regime change in Iran, and tame Mexico at the same time? We might have to. My advice to the Democrats - stop playing games and get back to work. The world is a serious place right now, with some serious problems. Stop acting like children and open the government back up. Now. 

 

 

Fleeing blue states

 

"Let me close by using the Ron White saying, 'You can't cure stupid'. Cities and states who keep electing and re-electing Democrats and socialists are just plain crazy. If you want your state or city to end up poor and hollow, vote blue. If you are not careful, your city will end up looking like Minneapolis and your state like Minnesota. #COLDHARDFACT." 

Careful Governor Newsom - you might have some competition. You have been called the best salesman for U-Haul rental trailers in the United States. Why? With so many people (and businesses) leaving California, many of whom are using U-Haul rental trailers, you are a hero with the U-Haul business. But what about California? Is he a hero there? Not quite. Maybe just the opposite.

Wait - what? If Newsom is no longer the U-Haul king of sales, who has replaced him. Ah - a newcomer. Mamdani the socialist in New York is doing a MUCH better job in driving the normal people out of New York City. It has been said that as soon as the election was over, and Mamdani had not yet been sworn it, the floodgates were opened. And for those who have already left - well done. It seems that Mamdani is living out Lady Thatcher's quote - "Socialism is fine until you run out of somebody else's money." And just last week, Mamdani said he would raise real estate taxes by 10% to help pay for his giveaway programs.

But wait - until challenger might have just entered the race. The very strange Abigail Spanberger, the newly minted governor of Virginia has just told the good people of that commonwealth that they are all suckers. Just enough believed here cock and bull story that she was a moderate and will govern as such. Well, she is not and will not govern from the center. The first whiff of socialism by the new governor was enough for Boeing. They are pulling their headquarters out of Crystal City and moving out of Virginia. Why? The good folks at Boeing are not fools.

We cannot forget the new mayor of Seattle, Katie Wison. She is just as much a socialist as Mamdani is. What will happen to Seattle under her watch? It will become even more hollowed out. More crime. More homelessness. It will get ugly, but some have already fled. And speaking of almost forgetting something - how about Chicago? Losing the Bears to Indiana. Because the Illinois business climate is SO VERY bad under Pritzker, as well as the City of Chicago under Johnson, even the rough and tough Bears could not handle it anymore. And we can't ignore the hundreds of businesses which have also fled to greener (or redder) pastures.

Let me close by using the Ron White saying, "You can't cure stupid". Cities and states who keep electing and re-electing Democrats and socialists are just plain crazy. If you want your state or city to end up poor and hollow, vote blue. If you are not careful, your city will end up looking like Minneapolis and your state like Minnesota. #COLDHARDFACT. 

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

"Don't worry - because Trump is smarter than most and a very good planner, he already has a 'Plan B' ready to go. 'Plan A'. using the IEEPA tariffs was the best way to go, but no longer. One might ask, 'Why not get Congress involved'? Are you kidding me? Have you seen Congress as of late? They look like the bar scene from Star Wars. No, Trump was right to avoid Congress, so he could get something done." 

Tariffs. They have been around since the days of George Washington. Been used many times since our republic (that is republic, not democracy for you Democrats) sprouted wings. Donald John Trump studied tariffs while in college. He liked them. He saw the value in them. He saw the power in them when used correctly. He vowed that if he was re-elected, he would use tariffs the right way. To stop wars. To influence nations. To build up our money supply by making trade more equal. But some in our country did not see it that way. They sued to have them stopped. It took a 6-3 SCOTUS decision to put a dagger in the heart of Trump's usage of IEEPA tariffs.

Trump said shortly after he became POTUS 47, that he was not a fan of the IRS. Many times, the IRS punishes good people. He said in a jocular manner, that he liked the ERS (External Revenue Service). Where money comes into this country from the outside. You know - like tariffs. Everything was going along just fine. Nothing was broken. The financial metrics in the country were good - very good. Wars were stopped. We had billions stocked up in our treasury. Then came the SCOTUS decision. And the bedwetters and the naysayers got their way. Let's fix something which is not broken.

I have thought this about Trump for a long time now. Besides the RINOs and Democrats having stage-four TDS, the big problem with Donald Trump is he is constantly playing four-dimensional chess in his head, when many of his opponents are still trying to learn checkers. What do I mean? Those who did not understand the extreme value of tariffs decided to hate them instead. Get back at Trump for being smart. For being right. Thus, to wound Trump, they decided to hurt the country instead. Well done folks - well done.

Maybe the country was not ready for a president who thinks like Donald Trump. Maybe many in the country liked a president in the manner of Joe Biden instead. Sleep much of the time, live in la-la land while at work, and take hundreds of days of vacation. The Europeans loved Biden - they could use us as an ATM machine. The Canadians? They charged 300% tariffs on our dairy products. Biden did not say boo. But Trump did. BTW - have you noticed that the left does not caterwaul about Canada's tariffs? Only ours.

Don't worry - because Trump is smarter than most and a very good planner, he already has a "plan B" ready to go. "Plan A". using the IEEPA tariffs was the best way to go, but no longer. One might ask, "Why not get Congress involved"? Are you kidding me? Have you seen Congress as of late? They look like the bar scene from Star Wars. No, Trump was right to avoid Congress, so he could get something done. 

   

Our stalwart few in St. Paul

"St. Paul is a mess. It is a microcosm of Washington DC. The blue team hates the red team, as the red team keeps trying to get the people's work done. The next time you see one of the red team, be it state or national, shake their hand and tell them to stay strong and you appreciate them. They are our last line of defense before the enemy is no longer at the gate but again gumming up the levers of power."

I will never forget the steamrolling the citizens of this state took in the 2023 legislative session. It was nothing short of brutal. Every goofy and expensive bill was passed by the trifecta DFL majority, and then Taxing Timmy signed them into law. Sure, we had some normal, God loving citizens on our side of the aisle, but they were outnumbered on every vote. A couple of them went to our church. Towards the end of the session, they had the "1,000-yard stare" like some combat vets had. They tried so hard to hold back the trifecta landslide, but to no avail. 

This year we have an even split in the House and the Senate. Translation = nothing will get done. Walz is still the governor, but he is a lame duck. The Democrats are going to push for legislation which will hamper ICE operations, and Republicans are going to push for legislation which will go after fraudsters. Why won't the DFL help with the fraud bill? Because many of their constituents were involved in it.

Thank God we have brave souls to venture down to St. Paul on these cold mornings and work with the DFL, many of whom have cold hearts. How can I say that? Just look at the abortion of an abortion bill which THEY passed in 2023. It is inches away from infanticide. The Republicans want to protect our valuable tax dollars. To aggressively go after fraud, waste and abuse. The DFL on the other hand, think it is all their money, to spend foolishly and waste constantly.

I know some of the Republicans who are now serving. They are good, solid folks. Believe in the right stuff. They believe in God (which is getting more and more rare in DFL and DNC politics). They also believe in the Second Amendment. And why is that important? Remember the street protests in Iran? When civilians had been mowed down in the street? No Second Amendment in Iran. Too bad, as if there were, we might be dealing with a much different (and friendlier government).

St. Paul is a mess. It is a microcosm of Washington DC. The blue team hates the red team, as the red team keeps trying to get the people's work done. The next time you see one of the red team, be it state or national, shake their hand and tell them to stay strong and you appreciate them. They are our last line of defense before the enemy is no longer at the gate but again gumming up the levers of power.

  

Speed of light, baby!

 

"...the only cold hard fact is the speed of light (as of right now) is it. The cosmic speed limit."

The Andromeda Galaxy. Our closest neighboring galaxy. Sure, would be nice to visit there some day as it is the closest spiral galaxy to our own Milky Way. It is a monster in size - about twice the size of ours. That would be about a trillion stars (many of which have planets). It is so big, and so close to us, on a dark clear night, you can see it with a naked eye. So, what is keeping us from going there? Figuring out how to build a spaceship which can travel the speed of light? Will that do the trick?

Many times, after watching Star Trek or Star Wars, we think going from here to there is a piece of cake. In reality, space is so very big, we can't comprehend it. Andromeda is our closest galaxy and is still a whopping 2.5 million light years away from us. Even if we had a spaceship which could make the magic physics speed limit of light speed, it would still take us 2.5 million years just to get there! Our closest star in our neighborhood would take four years to get there (traveling at the speed of light). 

What is the point of all this? Aliens. There is a growing number of scientists who believe in the Fermi Paradox. That means, if the speed of light is absolutely, positively the fastest a spaceship can travel, we are still stuck here in our own solar system. We can't travel to visit aliens, and they can't travel here to visit us. With the speed of light being 186,000 miles per second, the distance for light to travel one year would take more zeroes than my poor old laptop could type out. Plus, many scientists say to build a ship to travel light speed would about be impossible. Why? The size it would need to be just to carry all that fuel.

Then comes the question which begs to be asked. If getting to Earth is just about impossible from any distance, who or what are all these strange things in the sky? You know, UFOs or UAPs? Just this month, rumor has it one of our allies has a downed craft so large, the government of that country needed to build a structure around it just to keep it hidden. If that is true, where did it come from? How did it get here? 

More and more scientists are now thinking there might be something called interdimensional beings. To go down that path, one must first believe in the multiverse rather than just a plain old universe. Either that, or you would need to believe that space can be "warped" just like in the TV space shows. Both are just theories - the only cold hard fact is the speed of light (as of right now) is it. The cosmic speed limit.

That is tough love for many to accept, but with that speed limit, that is as fast as we can go. What is that going to mean for the Spielberg Disclosure movie coming out this summer? Stay tuned for June. We will all find out together.   

Olympics on ice?

 

"The Olympics has devolved into a lot of money to train some elites from many different countries. And to what gain? Do the competing nations get along better once the games are over? Seldom. What happens to the Olympic structures once the games are over? Quite often they are left to rust." 

Could we be in the waning days of the Olympics? I have thought this once before during the Munich Olympics in 1972. The terror group Black September tried to kidnap and/or kill as many of the Israeli delegation as possible. For the most part, the plot failed but succeeded enough that it put an early end to the games. But that is not the case this year. This year we have a major competitor disinvited (Russia) and the countries who remain have been "chippy" towards each other. 

Then there was this. Amber Glenn, the self-professed pansexual (whatever that is), on a world stage, called out the Trump administration for not being understanding enough to the LGBTQ+ community. Note to Amber: when wearing the red, white and blue on the world stage, keep your yap shut about your opinions. You represent US - not just you. Then as if karma had wings, Amber was dinged some serious points in a subsequent event, which knocked her down to 13th place. Sorry Amber - no tears for you on that one.

At one time, the Olympics were a respite from the trials and tribulations of a troubled world. For just two weeks, the world community could come together and celebrate sports in a sportsmanlike competition. This year, I have noticed some cracks in that age old model. We can't allow politics to stain the pure sports being contested for. In 1968 in the Mexico City Olympics, we had two black track stars raise their closed fists on the podium. For all the world to see, we showed them that.

The Olympics has devolved into a lot of money to train some elites from many different countries. And to what gain? Do the competing nations get along better once the games are over? Seldom. What happens to the Olympic structures once the games are over? Quite often they are left to rust. 

My vote is simply this - time to hang it up folks. It was fun while it lasted, even with all the warts and bruises. But it is no longer fun. I don't want to be lectured by some pansexual in front of the rest of the world. Besides all of which, it is screwing up the new TV schedule. Full stop on this one. Now the hate mail can come in.

Not a thin dime Timmy - not even a penny!

"Want more money, Timmy? You should have thought about that before you let Curly and the rest of the DFL pee our HUGE surplus away in 2023. But that is on you, pal. Daddy is not going to give you any more allowance, especially for your unruly behavior. You have made this state into a national embarrassment, once again."

The arsonist who started the fire, now wants to be paid by the victims for doing so. Tim Walz, our arsonist Governor who literally burned down part of Minneapolis in 2020, now has figuratively burned down more of the state in 2025 due to his asinine sanctuary policies. And because of Tim Walz being recalcitrant with the federal government (ICE in particular), because of Walz not cooperating with the federal government, he now states that Minnesota has suffered financial "damages". Thus, the arsonist wants the victims to pay for his remiss. To that we respond, "Not a thin dime Timmy - not even a penny!"

The few remaining normals who live in this state, have had it with Tim Walz and his unhinged group of DFL comrades trying to gaslight us all the time. If not about ICE, then about the MASSIVE fraud issue in the Somali community. Both of these issues have made Minnesota even more unlivable than it has been in the past. Want more money, Timmy? You should have thought about that before you let Curly and the rest of the DFL pee our HUGE surplus away in 2023. But that is on you, pal. Daddy is not going to give you any more allowance, especially for your unruly behavior. You have made this state into a national embarrassment, once again.

Where do we go from here? The legislature gavels in today, and the one and only topic they should be discussing is our MASSIVE fraud issue. But no - the DFL will do Timmy's bidding and discuss how the federal government killed two innocent civilians. When in reality, the table was set by Walz and the DFL to have some kind of tragedy in the streets of Minneapolis. All it took was a spark and lives were lost. Own up to it Timmy - you and Frey own part (a large part) of this mess. 

But based on the past, allow me to forecast the future. Nothing will get done on the MASSIVE fraud issue. All that will happen is caterwauling from the DFL. The feds will have to come into town (in mass) to fix this thing. And as soon as the feds come in to do Timmy's work for him, the paid rioters will be back in the streets. The table will once again be set for something bad to happen. Just another spark.

To my Republican friends who sit in the MN House or Senate, good luck. You are in for days upon days of listening to gibberish tinged with loads of DFL gaslighting. You might need to stop into O'Mally's Pub on the way to session each morning. You might need an eye-opener or two just to get by.

 

 

Is Greenland really worth the spat?

"Many in Europe can't stand MAGA. To them it says America is only concerned with itself. That is wrong. Trump has explained it many times. He wants EVERY country to put itself first. Why? The world would be a better place that way. And that - is a cold hard fact." 

Why is there a family feud between the USA and Europe right now? You can throw in Canada with the Euro Zone, as Carney is more British than Canadian. The Democrats are worried sick that Donald Trump is going to queer the long-standing relationship we have had with Europe. Really? Maybe right now, at this point in history, some of the juice is not worth the squeeze. What Trump has done with our European allies is give them some truth talk. Told them to "man up" with their defense spending. Told them to get control of their borders so their out-of-control immigration system does not ruin them. Sorry - truth hurts.

In the eyes of many in Europe, we are the brat kids who are disrespecting their parents. In the eyes of many Americans, Europe has a very short memory. Like, we have saved their bacon more than once. And to make matters worse, Donald Trump thinks differently than the globalists in Europe. On just about everything. Including Greenland.

What are the facts about Greenland? First off, it is really a part of North America, and not Europe. Next, its strategic importance cannot be stressed enough. This has nothing to do with the US empire building - it has everything to do with the US establishing Greenland as an early warning site, as well as part of the Golden Dome, to ensure Russia cannot use that route for a hypersonic sneak attack. Plus, Greenland is rich in rare Earth minerals. If we don't extract them, Russia and China will. And if Russia or China make a move on Greenland, all Denmark will be able to do is watch it happen. Fact of life.

For EVERYBODYS security, Europe should be standing firm behind the US in getting Greenland part of our grid. The rare Earth minerals will help not only the US, but also NATO. The US has the technology in how to harvest them. And the oil under Greenland also would help oil starved Europe, so they would not have to buy from Russia anymore. 

Vance gave Europe the back of his hand last year. Some Marine Corp tough love. Europe whimpered and sulked after he left. Last week Rubio went to Germany and put some velvet on the brick. Softened the message - but it was still the message. Here is the bottom line, and I will say this as kindly as I can. Europe needs us more than we need Europe. Sorry, the Globalists have made Europe soft and full of DEI. Full of the love for green energy instead of the fuel which will make them strong. 

Many in Europe can't stand MAGA. To them it says America is only concerned with itself. That is wrong. Trump has explained it many times. He wants EVERY country to put itself first. Why? The world would be a better place that way. And that - is a cold hard fact. 

  

Cleaning the toilet

 

"It took years to break certain countries in our hemisphere - it will take some time to fix them. Trump is on the right path to do so. But as the say goes, in order to make an omelette you must break some eggs. And Donald Trump is not afraid to break some eggs to ensure the toilet is cleaned the right way."   

I would like to start out by saying our world is at peace, and we have Donald Trump to thank for it. But despite all of President Trump's efforts to stop warring countries from warring on each other - we still live in a troubled world. How so? We have some trouble spots which need to be tended to. It would be nice if we could convince these troubled areas to straighten up and fly right, but that might not be in the cards. To put it simply, we need to "clean the toilet", as we still have some bad actors which need to be taken care of.

Iran - This is a huge problem. The Iranian people are in the streets BEGGING us to topple their regime so life can return to normal. We seem to have half our military inventory in the area, and we are ready to strike. So is Israel. Iran needs to be cleaned out and have honest and fair elections to this once great nation can heal itself. If not, the region will never see peace. Trump wanted to negotiate with the Mullahs - but history has shown you can't negotiate with snakes. This might come to a bloody fight, which will be too bad for everybody - especially Iran.

Ukraine - President Zelenskyy recently repeated the obvious - Putin has war in his blood. What does that mean? All this peace talk was just for stalling only. As we talk, Putin's war machine continues to pound the innocents left in Ukraine. Putin goes after power grids, as he would like nothing better than to see innocents freeze to death in this brutal winter. Like a mad dog, Putin has sacrificed over half his military and armor just to fight to a draw in Ukraine. To clean out this toilet, Putin needs to go. It is as simple as that. Russia needs new leadership so it can once again be relevant.

Cuba - This island nation is close to collapse. We have seized Venezuela's oil and are keeping it from Cuba. To punish Cuba? To hurt their people? Nope - to effect regime change there also. Why? It is time. Cuba should have been resolved years ago, but the tea leaves were not in alignment as yet. Now they are. With Russia bogged down in Ukraine, and with Maduro gone from Venezuela, now might be the time. The Cuban people need to be able to live like it is 2026 instead of 1958. As part of our hemisphere, they deserve freedom.

Mexico - Mexico cannot be free until it is free of the cartels. That makes this toilet particularly messy to clean. We can help and help in a big way. But we first need the new president of Mexico (Sheinbaum) to put on her big girl pants and cut out the cancer which has infested her country. Mexico is no more than a drug conduit right now. They could be so much more. If Sheinbaum would ever give us the green light, this could be fixed quickly.

Venezuela - Better, now that Maduro is gone, but not great. We need to make sure that ALL of the bad apples are gone so if and when Machado or Rodriguez takes over. Once the government is stabilized and we can help with their oil reserves, Venezuela can once again be a major player in South America.

It took years to break certain countries in our hemisphere - it will take some time to fix them. Trump is on the right path to do so. But as the say goes, in order to make an omelette you must break some eggs. And Donald Trump is not afraid to break some eggs to ensure the toilet is cleaned the right way.   

He is making us stew in our own juice

 

"But now, Tim Walz has Minnesota all set up to stew in our own juice. First off, the feds are not going to give Walz one red cent for Walz's maleficence. Nada, zip. Next, even though Metro Surge may be coming to an end, ICE will not be. Between the fraud investigation as well as mopping up the remaining illegals, Minnesota, in particular Minneapolis, in particular Cedar Riverside - will be crawling with feds."

Once again, Tampon Timmy is hard at it. By playing the role of spoiler, or radical, or jerk, he has set up Minnesota, most particularly Minneapolis, for another crappy year. And with Walz, you never just get a single issue - no, with Walz we got a two for the price of one. We are known now as the fraud capital of the United States, as well as the sanctuary state which does not work well. And now that ICE as announced an immediate draw down, rather than shake hands and apologize, Walz told Trump he is going to send him a bill for the "generational harm" that ICE has done to his state. What a moron! 

Tim Walz has quite a record as governor. First in 2020, he allowed the city of Minneapolis to partially burn down as he did not know how to tell the paid rioters to cool it after the Floyd debacle. That was the first time this decade we were the laughingstock of the nation. Then, in 2023 when the Democrats controlled EVERYTHING, he was the architect behind the worst pile of legislation in Minnesota history. And now this - the fraud of biblical proportions. Nine billion dollars of wasted tax money, right under Timmy's nose.

But now, Tim Walz has Minnesota all set up to stew in our own juice. First off, the feds are not going to give Walz one red cent for Walz's maleficence. Nada, zip. Next, even though Metro Surge may be coming to an end, ICE will not be. Between the fraud investigation as well as mopping up the remaining illegals, Minnesota, in particular Minneapolis, in particular Cedar Riverside - will be crawling with feds. Why? Minneapolis is a "target rich environment". And if the paid rioters come out in force again to try and hinder ICE - get ready for another surge. Bottom line? Minneapolis is a long, long way from returning to any type of normal.

Had lunch with a friend from Michigan yesterday. We were discussing who had the worst governor, he or I. He had Gretchen Whitmer, who is a piece of work. And of course, I had Tampon Timmy, who is way beyond a piece of work. We finally decided it was a tie - we both lost as we both have zeroes for governors.

Minnesota may never be the same. Why? Trust. We have zero trust in ANY DFL commie who wins any office. What the DFL has shown us over the past few decades, in particular over this decade, is they are beyond inept - they are enemies of the state. They like to burn, destroy, steal and lie. And that is the nicest thing I can say about them. At one time they were just the loyal opposition. Now they are much worse than that.  

Why the monthly jobs reports will soon be meaningless

 

"Will there be some new jobs created? Absolutely - but they will require a niche expertise.  Understanding AI and everything which surrounds it will help quite a bit. But remember this - most businesses will trade expensive employees for much less expensive AI technology..."

The monthly jobs report for January is out. Mostly good news. But it had to be explained. Sure, there were 130,000 new jobs added. But it needed some explanation. The number was really 175,000 new jobs. But 45,000 government jobs were also eliminated. That nets out to 130,000 new jobs. Plus (more explanation was needed), many of the new jobs were construction instead of manufacturing. Why? New factories being built in our country. Soon, those construction jobs will morph into manufacturing jobs. Win for MAGA!

But there is a dark side with the jobs report coming. I have been reading many reliable sources which have been saying the same thing. White collar jobs will start going away - quickly. They will be replaced by automation. This morning there was an article by a VP at Microsoft. His view is that in eighteen months, many of the white-collar jobs will be done by automation. That would be AI. The economy will continue to hum along, but finding a white-collar job might be a daunting task.

How is this circle going to be squared in the monthly jobs report? We will still have a strong economy but might have a negative jobs report. Like month after month, we might have negative job reports. And still have a rip-roaring economy. I have said for a while now that Scott Bisset and Howard Lutnick need to prepare the public and the investment class that things might look different (with jobs) starting in 2027. And this jobs mystery will not just happen in America - it will be worldwide.

Will there be some new jobs created? Absolutely - but they will require a niche expertise.  Understanding AI and everything which surrounds it will help quite a bit. But remember this - most businesses will trade expensive employees for much less expensive AI technology that does not need to get paid, take sick leave, vacations, lunches, and also does perfect work. Competing with infallible machines is going to be a tall order for most of us. 

How is our government going to handle this, with more and more citizens being out of work later this decade? That is a great question, one for which I come up empty. A National Income, where everybody makes enough to live on for doing nothing? Maybe. Whatever it will be, it will be something we have never seen before. Or - this entire AI thing may just be a nothing burger, and things will go on as they always have. 

That is the interesting thing about the future - nobody knows until we arrive there. All we can do is enjoy the ride, no matter how bumpy or smooth it might be.  

 

Can we save the SAVE Act?

 

"Pass the SAVE Act. Having this as our law will ensure NOBODY cheats. Not Democrats, not Republicans, and most importantly - not illegals." 

Good morning, folks. I am coming to you from the land of 10,000 frauds. Actually, it is probably more than 10,000. Yesterday, I was having a flashback to many years ago when the Republicans wanted to have Voter ID in Minnesota. The Democrats hated it. Anyhow, it went to a vote, and due to some cleaver DFL sophism - it failed. Have we had voter fraud since it has failed? We might have - seems we have had fraud on just about everything else.

Why is this so hard? When just about everything we do in this country requires a valid ID, why do the Democrats CONSTANTLY buck us on the idea of having a valid ID to vote? We have heard that having a mandatory ID would disenfranchise women. It would disenfranchise minorities. It would disenfranchise illegals. WHOOPS! Hold on folks! That is the plan, man. We don't want illegals voting in American elections. 

With 80,000 Somalis hanging around, many accused of stealing a good part of $9B of taxpayer money, does anybody trust them not to cheat while voting? I guess I would feel better if they had a valid ID. And guess what? You don't need an expensive passport to get a valid ID. Try a Social Security card. Or a birth certificate. Here is the bottom line - if voting is important to you, you will get a valid ID. If you want to cheat, you will do your best to ensure the SAVE act never passes.

In Minnesota, when the Republicans tried to get Voter ID for the state, the same canard was used. "Not fair to poor people. Not fair to minorities", and blah, blah, blah. The Republicans said FREE IDs would be issued to those who could not afford one. Nope - not good enough. Voter ID was still racist. Only in America, would getting a free ID so one could legally vote, be considered racist.

Somehow, the SAVE act bill passed the House yesterday by one vote (one Democrat). Now it is on to the Senate for an uncertain future. Chucky Shumer has already called this bill "Jim Crow 2". By the way Chucky, it might be time to brush up on your history. It seems the Southern Democrats had their hands dirty on "Jim Crow One". But who cares about history? It is the Republicans who are racist. Even though the first eighteen blacks elected to Congress were all Republican.

Pass the SAVE Act. Having this as our law will ensure NOBODY cheats. Not Democrats, not Republicans, and most importantly - not illegals. 

 

In the beginning....

 

"Biden, Mayorkas, Walz, Flanagan, Ellison, Frey and the entire MN DFL are all responsible for this mess. Trump vowed to fix this and fix this he will. And once this is fixed, we will get down to fixing Walz's fraud issue." 

The headlines in today's fish wrap DFL paper is that most of Minnesota is against the way Trump is handling ICE enforcement. From our local Pravda, I would expect no less bias reporting. But then I had a thought - maybe we should map out the past to find out how we got here. 

In 2003, the City of Minneapolis decided it wanted to be a sanctuary city. Was that legal? Of course not. But that is where it all started. In the beginning. Then in 2017, the city decided it would be better to make that status more formal. So, they did. Having a sanctuary city (or state) in the middle of a republic is like having an "anti-supremacy" clause in local laws. Sorry - it does not work that way.

Then came the whopper. In July of 2025, Tim Walz and company decided to poke Donald Trump in the eye by becoming a "sanctuary state" (whatever that means). But I am getting ahead of my skies. I need to backtrack for just a minute. Joe Biden and his autopen. When Joe Biden was sworn in, one of the first things he did was flush our immigration laws down the toilet. He opened our borders. Let in everybody, without vetting or purpose. That, coupled with this sanctuary BS, is what broke the system - NOT Donald Trump. 

Donald Trump wins the election to become POTUS 47. One of his platforms (which was very popular), was to fix what Biden had broken. And what was the most broken was the border - plus the up to 20 million illegals who were wandering around the country. He had a mandate to fix this mess. Thus, his first hire once being sworn in was Tom Homan as Border Czar.

The uneducated masses as well as the paid rioters in Minneapolis are blaming Donald Trump for this mess. That is like blaming a fireman for a fire that an arsonist set. People who are honest, will agree that this mess started long before Donald Trump. Those who are dishonest will not. This is what I voted for. I want a safe city (Minneapolis) to venture in to, and I want a safe state to live in. Right now, we have neither. 

Biden, Mayorkas, Walz, Flanagan, Ellison, Frey and the entire MN DFL are all responsible for this mess. Trump vowed to fix this and fix this he will. And once this is fixed, we will get down to fixing Walz's fraud issue. 

So, when did disclosure really start???

 

Hang on - June is coming. Maybe then, this decades old mystery will be solved.

As most of us know from seeing the teaser and trailer, this coming June the next Spielberg blockbuster is set to premier. Disclosure Day is supposed to be quite the ride. Some even say that Spielberg has superior knowledge of who "they" are, and when our government will allow us to know the truth. But hold on for just a minute. I think, whomever or whatever is flying around in our skies uninvited, have been doing that for a while now. Here is my take:

World War II - the name Foo-Foo is much more than a rock band. It was the name that the allies and even some Germans gave these bright globes of light which would fly next to their aircraft. At first, they were quite a shock to see. But after a while they became almost common place. What where they? Nobody ever found out.

July 1952 - the year of the Capitol of the US was being buzzed by UFOs. Radar picked them up coming in from the Atlantic. They came to Washington, and "parked" in the sky, close to the Capitol. They wanted to be seen. Jets were scrambled, and they left, only to come back later. This went on for a few days. Was this a disclosure event? Maybe. 

Crop Circles - Started showing up all over the world. Some think they were pranks, done by two pranksters, a rope, a board and cutter. Others thought the very intricate ones were well beyond our skill level. Maybe some contained messages for us. Maybe about disclosure. To this day, many crop circles are still a mystery.

Malstrom AFB in 1967 - Wow! Talk about a message. It is no secret that whatever is flying those unidentified objects are not crazy about our nukes. In 1967, a large disk parked over a missile silo on the Malstrom AFB in Montana and was able somehow to take many of our Minuteman nukes offline. Scared the daylights out of the base personal. Was this a message? A warning? To this day, it is still a mystery.

The Pheonix Lights in March 1997 - If ever the "others" who are flying these disks wanted to really be observed, and maybe want the subject of disclosure to start, this was the time. Thousands in Arizona (mostly in Pheonix) saw this very large and very slow-moving craft showing itself to many shocked onlookers. Some think it was a mile wide and did not make a noise. My vote? This was a huge message that we are not alone. Who are the visitors? I don't have a clue, but I think many in the government might.

I have penned about this before. Ben Rich, who at one time was running Lockheed's Skunk Works, said in a presser that we have space craft which are capable of giving ET a ride home. Is there more here than meets the eye? Are we being prepped for big news about our planet not being the only inhabited one in the neighborhood? What does Spielberg know which he is not yet disclosing?

Hang on - June is coming. Maybe then, this decades old mystery will be solved. 

  

Useful idiots on display

 

"As the expression goes, what's the plan, man? The plan is simple. Make useful idiots out of as many of our youth as possible. Infest our schools with untruths and half-truths. Indoctrinate our kids rather than educating them. How is it working so far? Seen our test scores? See how schools let students out of class to go protest?"

Useful idiots. Hey - don't get mad at me! I did not come up with that tag line. Who was it? Vladimir Lenin. Ironically, he used it to describe the liberal sheeple over in Europe around the time of the Russian Revolution. Why? Because they were easily swayed, easily manipulated. Even though Lenin believed most to be idiots, they had their use to him. They were useful and they were idiots. Ergo, the name.

What has changed from the days of the Russian Revolution to today? I would like to say quite a bit, but that would be an untruth. What is the truth then? We still have useful idiots around - and quite a few of them. Want to see them? Turn on the news. Carrying the same kind of signs with the same slogans on them. Like, America is a fascist state (even though most could not define what fascism is). And my favorite - we have tyranny in America. One more which is a dead giveaway - Trump is ruining our democracy. One minor problem - we don't live in a democracy. We live in a republic. Always have, hopefully, always will.

With everything so coordinated, one would think there was some kind of puppet master behind the never-ending line of useful idiots. Actually, there are two. George Soros, who has been around causing trouble for decades, and a tech giant from China named Neville Roy Singham. These two individuals, who are loaded with cash, are funding most of our demonstrations. The "Voice of the Vikings" got taken out to the woodshed for telling the truth about our demonstrators. He said many were paid. He was right. They are.

As the expression goes, what's the plan, man? The plan is simple. Make useful idiots out of as many of our youth as possible. Infest our schools with untruths and half-truths. Indoctrinate our kids rather than educating them. How is it working so far? Seen our test scores? See how schools let students out of class to go protest? Not only are we fostering an environment to produce useful idiots, but we are also making educated idiots. Ruin our schools, ruin our kids, ruin America. That is the plan, man.

The sad part is American Democrats are sitting in the bleachers, like mind numbed robots, watching this all happen. In their shallow minds, this is going to topple the Republican Party. Little do they know, that is not the plan. The plan is to rot out America, from the inside out. Make America useless and irrelevant. And then what? Revolution for the hell of it (thanks Abbie Hoffman) baby! Down with the bourgeoise and up with the proletariat! There - take that America!

   

And we can't even agree on a halftime show

"Now that the dust has settled and the halftime show is over, where does the NFL go from here? Does Roger Goodell keep trying to woo the outer fringe just to expand the fan base? Why give the entire broadcast in Spanish? Is that the path we are on?" 

Just when you thought we might be able to agree on SOMETHING in this country, along comes the NFL and books a loony bird to do the halftime show. Bad Bunny? What kind of a name is that? Of course, he had to be flaming gay to sell his brand. As soon as it was announced, the Turning Point crew said this was unsatisfactory. NOT family friendly. Not pro American. Not what good old beer drinking, family loving guys like to see at halftime. So, Turning Point put on an alternate halftime show on another channel. And so goes America.

I think it will surprise nobody if I can confess, I did not watch Bad Bunny. I turned the channel and watched the Turning Point show. Truthfully, I would have done it just a bit differently. But it was still good. And did not have to worry about tender young eyes seeing something tawdry or young years hearing things unacceptable, or unwanted. Actually, the game was such a defensive struggle in the first half (I loved it), it might have driven many younger watchers away from the TV.

But hey - watching the Super Bowl last night was a night away from hearing about Minnesota or the Guthrie kidnapping (or murder). Truthfully, Tim Walz and whomever is responsible for the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie has ruined the news cycle. How so? Last Friday, when we should have been celebrating the news of the year so far, nary a peep was mentioned about the DOW hitting 50,000. That is huge news! It was a tip of the hat to the greatness of America and how Donald Trump has turned this economy around.

Now that the dust has settled and the halftime show is over, where does the NFL go from here? Does Roger Goodell keep trying to woo the outer fringe just to expand the fan base? Why give the entire broadcast in Spanish? Is that the path we are on? Having some Contemporary Christian artists mixed in with some CW artists would be good start. For the love of Pete NFL, don't put on something so wretched that it drives part of the fan base to another channel for halftime entertainment.

What might ask, is there ANYTHING we can agree on these days? Stay tuned, as by the end of the week you will see the real barn fire when both sides try to agree on ICE reforms. Failure to do so will (again) shut down the government. BTW - it will be a most interesting week. As a side note, we might also be at war with Iran by Friday. Just saying...

 

Maybe it is the water in Minneapolis...

"The lost children in Minneapolis always need a cause celeb to rally around. It just seemed like yesterday when it was Free Palestine! And that was right on the threshold of No Kings! Now it is No ICE! and Be Good. What do people in outstate protest? Nothing. We just go to work, go to school, go to church, and be good citizens. We love our cops, and we love each other. It is just as simple as that." 

There is a saying I have heard more than just a few times. Once you get outside the 494-694 beltway in the Twin Cities, life starts returning to normal. Not is not just a cliche', that is a cold hard fact. Back in the day when Minneapolis was first starting to turn into the fruit basket it is today, everything started to change as we were coming home on the freeway. Once we made the turn northward, I started to breathe deeper. Then, once we got on Highway 10, every muscle in my body started to relax. Today, unless it is a family emergency, I stay far, far away from Minneapolis.

This morning on the news, Frey Baby was holding a presser in Uptown. He announced the Uptown Art Fair was coming back to town. Big whoop. When asked about the art fair coming back, one local said, "This is great news. I love this town. I love what it stands for." Okay - I will bite - what does it stand for? Anarchy? Stage Four TDS? Turning a blind eye to graft? What is it, because I sure can't see it.

I amazes me when I ponder this question. What is it about Minneapolis which makes it the polar opposite of us folks living outside the beltway? Is it the air? The food? Or is it the water. It has to be something, as most things that us outside the beltway folks hold near and dear, the folks inside the beltway love to eschew. 

Truthfully, the folks out in the hinterland of Minnesota are basically a very good lot. Somebody had posted a picture of a billboard (might have been AI) which said, "Please keep your Minneapolis out of the rest of Minnesota." Why? Many folks I know are more closely aligned with Ozzie and Harriet, or Father knows best than the Meathead from All in the family. Meaning what? Meaning we love family, we love country, we love liberty, and mostly, we love God. Are all people in outstate like that? No, but most are.

The lost children in Minneapolis always need a cause celeb to rally around. It just seemed like yesterday when it was Free Palestine! And that was right on the threshold of No Kings! Now it is No ICE! and Be Good. What do people in outstate protest? Nothing. We just go to work, go to school, go to church, and be good citizens. We love our cops, and we love each other. It is just as simple as that. 

For those still living in Minneapolis, try drinking bottled water for a while. It might clear the cobwebs and straighten your thinking. Just saying...
