Brutal honesty: This ICE situation in Minnesota may be a defining moment for how the next 10 years look. Any weakness means fueling the worst domestic extremists. Here’s what should be done: • Invoke the insurrection act • Military arrests rioters and politicians • ICE triples presence and deports maximum # of illegals while DHS denaturalizes anyone who committed immigration fraud and deports them too • Not one apology from the right for anything This must be put down so thoroughly that the far left extremists can’t effectively recruit people in other left wing cities to replicate the chaos and...

By cutting off Venezuelan oil and economic relief to Cuba, there’s a chance that sixty-seven years of communist dictatorship will soon come to an end in Castro’s Caribbean prison, too. Right now Iran’s Islamic dictatorship is teetering and showing signs of potential collapse — forty-seven years after Jimmy Carter’s foreign policy “boys” allowed theocratic tyrants to take the strategically pivotal country before also taking fifty-two Americans hostage for four hundred and forty-four days. Finally, the European Union now realizes that President Trump is serious about keeping...

Recent (and not-so-recent) revelations about the massive fraudulent scams that have cost Minnesota at least $9 billion have exploded across the country and have certainly put the buffoonish Gov. Tim Walz and harebrained Minneapolis mayor and pretend-Somali, Jacob Frey, on the defensive. # Both Walz and Frey have obviously been complicit in these multi-billion-dollar schemes to defraud American taxpayers and have most likely benefited financially. # Now we know for sure, as if what we learned from DOGE was not shocking enough, that the American taxpayer has been robbed blind for decades for “causes” that have been fabricated. This has...
