I am not PREDICTING riots, but it sure looks like the conditions are building. If Minneapolis burns, it’s probably going to be tonight. Massive crowds forming today.pic.twitter.com/Z0laWRUxdx— Dustin Grage (@GrageDustin) January 10, 2026Massive crowds are gathering near the scene of Renee Good's assault on an ICE officer and her subsequent suicide by cop. Governor Walz is clearly worried about a repeat of the Summer of 2020, likely because he is in danger of being in charge of a state that temporarily loses some of its sovereignty by Trump invoking the Insurrection Act. Instead of trying to dial down the temperature...

We have quickly gone through the stages of the typical Democrat's response to the Somali fraud story: It's not happening. It's happening, but not much. It's happening, but it's a good thing. Except now, POLITICO's Josh Gerstein has thrown in a new step ... Man, why are so many people on the Left so violent? Not to mention ignorant of gun laws? Note, we realize we're being facetious here. Josh Gerstein @joshgerstein At some point, the amateur effort to knock on doors of home daycares intersects with robust stand-your-ground laws 11:48 PM · Dec 29, 2025 Is he really saying...

Far-left Democrats in the Illinois General Assembly have passed a bill that will provide sanctuary to illegal aliens in courthouses and give them a right to sue the federal agents who arrest them.Hate-Trump Governor J.B. Pritzker, who believes federal immigration and other agents are “Gestapo” stormtroopers and vows to prosecute them, will almost certainly sign the bill as soon as it hits his desk.The federal Justice Department will likely sue to overturn the bill under the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, an action that might go nowhere. A federal judge appointed by President Joe Biden dismissed the department’s lawsuit to overturn Chicago’s...

Aleft-wing agitator called for the murder of immigration agents at a Hands Off Chicago/No Kings demonstration over the weekend, prompting the Border Patrol Commander leading Operation Midway Blitz in Illinois to express concern in a social media post. “You gotta grab a gun. We gotta turn around the guns on this fascist system. These ICE agents gotta get shot and wiped out,” the man said on Saturday. “This same machinery that’s on full display right there has to get wiped out.” Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino, who is leading Operation Midway Blitz in Illinois, responded to the Graystak Media video...

The SPLC does not prevent hate but directs it, mostly toward Christians for promoting the teachings of Christ.Under President Donald Trump, the FBI recently made the decision to sever ties with the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a self-described anti-hate group that has long placed mainstream conservative and Christian organizations and institutions on a par with groups like the Ku Klux Klan. “The Southern Poverty Law Center long ago abandoned civil rights work and turned into a partisan smear machine,” FBI Director Kash Patel told The Daily Signal. “Their so-called hate map has been used to defame mainstream...

The Office’s Rainn Wilson had the perfect take on the Charlie Kirk assassination. The actor roundly rejected claims that we should be celebrating the death of someone with whom we disagree politically. It’s so wrong-headed, speaking to actor Mark Ruffalo. He mentioned that he talked to some “liberal friends” who were less than compassionate. “Guys, no,” said Wilson. “No, we cannot think or talk that way.” Granted, it’s nothing special. All one must do is not act like an a**hole, but the Left cannot contain their bloodlust in the wake of the murder of the Turning Point USA founder. The...

Missouri Republican Sen. Eric Schmitt rejected the idea that "both sides" are to blame for escalating political violence in the U.S., saying, "the George Soros empire has financed a vast ecosystem of radicals, all working together, dropping off bricks at riots to unleash a tidal wave of violent anarchists on our streets and to prop it up in an army of researchers and experts and journalists and propagandists who downplay the political violence." "Bluesky, the left-wing alternative to X, was so overwhelmed with these posts that the platform was forced to issue a statement warning its users to stop glorifying...
