THE WEEK IN PICTURES: ICE ICE BABY EDITION

Minnesota can’t seem to get out of the news. Once a placid backwater, the state has now become synonymous with bats**t crazy. ICE came to town, and it brought left-wingers, both native Minnesotans and paid professionals, out in force. Things went from bad to worse, and a leftist mob invaded a church on Sunday morning, disrupting services. The mob was led by, among others, former CNN talking head Don Lemon. The Department of Justice, outraged, is pursuing criminal charges against some of the ringleaders.

Ice came to town in a more literal way, too: the high temperature today was -11, the low -22. The far left–i.e., everyone from the DFL Party to the Communist Party USA–declared today “ICE out” in Minneapolis, encouraging students to play hooky and businesses to close. It was, in any event, too cold to protest. I guess we can all be grateful that ICE didn’t come to Minnesota in July.

Many more at the source!

Canadians need a warm place to go in the winter (in addition to visiting their allies in Cuba), so throw in a swap of the Northern Territories for Puerto Rico.

[PGalt]

LOL!

[SharpRightTurn]

“Proposed new border with Canada.”

“We take Alberta, Canada gets Minnesota.”

I’m onboard.

[Delta 21]

“Waffle House is closed!” Disaster strikes.

[Bon of Babble]

Canada can have Minnesota - the sooner the better!

Yikes! If I came out of anesthesia after surgery and saw that first thing, I would assume I’d died and gone to hell.

[Jeff Chandler]

We trade Minnesota for Alberta and a hockey team to be named later.

the high temperature today was -11, the low -22.

It's hard for me to imagine hating so much that I'd get out to protest a good thing in -22F weather.

"And I like how your hair stayed in place the whole time, Governor."

[Liz]

Those Democrats---always alert to democracy-driven election issues.

[Liz]

How’s about we trade Minnesota for Alberta, Canada, and a hockey team?

I like it.

[hoagy62]

I swear to you, I’ve seen that “thing” somewhere in a ‘Star Trek’ movie.

[Liz]

Look up "baboon" in the dictionary----this is the pic used.

[Preachin']

Looks like a Roman Legionnaire.

[Albion Wilde]

I have to admit, neither have I, even though he and I once lived in the same city.

[Vaduz]

Indeed the pain of not knowing who your voting for.

The left are very slow to learning if at all.
