Vice President JD Vance called the unrest in Minnesota "engineered chaos" in the wake of another fatal, federal agent-involved shooting over the weekend.On Saturday, 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a Minneapolis nurse who was carrying a licensed handgun while protesting a federal immigration enforcement operation, was fatally shot by a U.S. Border Patrol agent. Authorities say Pretti resisted arrest after trying to intervene in the operation.In response to the shooting, Vance accused "far-left agitators working with local authorities" of creating the conditions that led to the confrontation between Pretti and the border patrol agents."This level of engineered chaos is unique to...

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, who are the left wing radicals showing up all over the country to obstruct, harass, and assault ICE? Where do they come from? How do they organize? Who is funding them? I sent my producers into their groups and their Signal chats to find out the answers. I’ll tell you what we discovered. Also, thanks to IVF a rapidly increasing number of single women are having children in their 40s. Is this a positive development for mankind? And a Chinese dissident says that the population of China might be half of what we’ve been...

NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas – A woman has been arrested in connection with an investigation into arson at the Comal County Republican Headquarters, according to the City of New Braunfels. Grace Carol Brown, 21, was taken into custody on Thursday for burglary of a building and arson, a news release said. She was later booked into the Comal County jail on a $200,000 bond. New Braunfels police officers and fire officials had responded around 1:15 p.m. on Jan. 14 to the Comal County Republican Headquarters, located in the 200 block of Landa Street. The release said that employees found that...

A gun rights advocate says he has major concerns about the legality of the shooting Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti after watching footage of his killing. Rob Doar, senior vice president of the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus, analyzed one of the several videos taken of the shooting of Pretti on Saturday and shared his damming opinion that the killing was unwarranted on social media. Pretti, who was a US and an intensive care nurse who treated critically ill military veterans, was killed shortly after 9am on January 24, after an altercation involving multiple federal officers. Video footage showed he was wrestled...

In a disturbing incident amid ongoing anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis, a Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) officer had his finger bitten off by a rioter, according to a post from Tricia McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary at the Department of Homeland Security. McLaughlin shared graphic photos on X, showing the injured officer sitting in a vehicle, his uniform caked in mud, as a gloved hand tends to his mangled finger. One image shows the severed fingertip, bloodied and raw, and another shows it preserved in a small plastic container, presumably for medical evaluation. McLaughlin confirmed that the officer will lose the finger. Additional...

Unconfirmed video floating around online, supposedly of the reported new shooting in Minneapolis today by Border Patrol DHS tells Fox News the suspect was armed; the firearm has been recovered by federal agents

Cam Higby 🇺🇸 @camhigby 🚨 GESTAPO PROTESTORS: Minneapolis “ICE observers” followed us for over an HOUR and demanded to SEE OUR PAPERS. We were told to leave Minneapolis and go to the airport or else. They claimed that our plates came back as “CONFIRMED ICE” in their database on multiple occasions

Hundreds of businesses in Minnesota are closing Friday to protest the deportation of illegal migrants, as industry experts admit that President Donald Trump’s deportation polices are nudging up wages for their American employees. Vendors, labor unions, and residents said they would be part of the “general strike” against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the New York Times reported Friday. However, it is important to note federal agents have been arresting criminal illegal aliens in the Democrat-run state and elsewhere across the nation to safeguard American communities. The Times article stated: In an email on Thursday, a Department of Homeland...

Leftist cat lady fills up 2 carts at Target and doesn’t buy anything to “protest Trump” … so she’s just harassing minimum wage employees to make herself feel validated. These people need mental institutions.

Several organizers of the protest were calling for the resignation of a church pastor who they said works for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. --- Federal agents with Homeland Security and the FBI arrested three protesters — Nekima Levy Armstrong, Chauntyll Louisa Allen and William Kelly — in connection with a demonstration that interrupted Sunday service at Cities Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Attorney General Pam Bondi said on social media Thursday.

LMAO. Libs in Minneapolis are currently standing outside a hotel in -15 degree weather banging pots and playing instruments to keep JD Vance from sleeping inside his hotel. Little do they know, JD Vance landed back in D.C. 5 hours ago. 🤣

Meet Lexie Lawler, a labor and delivery nurse at Baptist Health Boca Raton Regional Hospital (@BaptistHealthSF ). She says she hopes Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt suffers a severe 4th-degree tear during childbirth and has medical complications. "I hope you ******* rip from bow to stern and never **** normally again, you ****." This woman DELIVERS BABIES. Terrifying.

Minutes ago at my direction, Homeland Security Investigation and FBI agents executed an arrest in Minnesota. So far, we have arrested Nekima Levy Armstrong, who allegedly played a key role in organizing the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. We will share more updates as they become available. Listen loud and clear: WE DO NOT TOLERATE ATTACKS ON PLACES OF WORSHIP.

"Blue Lives Matter patriots just revealed that they successfully put a brilliant plan into practice—decoying deranged leftist rioters with false information and fake federal operations, allowing federal immigration officers to arrest criminals without harassment. ---SNIP--- "We're not saying they were in fact they were just driving around in what appeared to be unmarked vehicles with tinted windows... drinking coffee and listening to Guns and Roses.... being chased down and surrounded by protestors. What we ARE saying is that if it DID happen.... it sure worked remarkably well in NINE DIFFERENT STATES, allowing ACTUAL raids to successfully take place unimpeded, helping...

With all that’s happening in the world, why am I writing about the video of a Karen repeatedly cackling “F off” to a cluster of duck hunters? Because it proves the broader point that leftists cannot present fact-based arguments about the issues successfully. Even the few who can choose not to because the goal isn’t to win the debate but to prosecute the violent overthrow of America. Screaming, swearing, violence, and mayhem facilitate that more than a genteel conversation in the public square. But first, a confession: I’m no prude when it comes to swearing and have been known to...

I believe the greatest threat to our nation isn't the Islamo-commie animals currently raping their way across Western Europe, murdering their way through Niger, or fleecing our treasury in God-knows-how-many of our states. Rather, it's a group of "unindicted domestic terrorists" who are just AWFL: Affluent White Liberal Women. These are the harpies who make all of the above possible. (snip) Now that we know what an AWFL are, let's talk about how to identify them: #1) They are usually wildly unattractive. Check out this communist skank—who isn't completely physically offensive (we will get to those gorgons in a minute)—but...

A far-left agitator who stormed a St. Paul church and harassed parishioners on Sunday is now taunting the DOJ and challenging federal prosecutors to come and get him. William Kelly, a well-known leftist agitator, charged into Cities Church on Sunday as Don Lemon livestreamed the crime. Kelly got in the face of parishioners on Sunday. He later compared storming the church to Jesus flipping over tables in the Temple. Worshippers and children were absolutely terrified as William Kelly, BLM activist Nikema Armstrong and Don Lemon interrupted the service and shouted down the pastor. US Attorney General Pam Bondi said the...

The Pentagon has ordered about 1,500 active-duty soldiers to prepare for a possible deployment to Minnesota, defense officials told The Washington Post late Saturday, after President Donald Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act in response to unrest there. The soldiers are assigned to two infantry battalions with the Army’s 11th Airborne Division, which is based in Alaska and specializes in cold-weather operations.

Leftists have spent their weekend attacking people in Minneapolis who vaguely resemble immigration officers. This morning, a group of anti-ICE protestors stormed what appears to be Cities Church in Minneapolis because they believed that a church employee worked for ICE, according to videos posted to social media. Hearing reports that an SBC church in Minneapolis had its Lord’s Day service disrupted by anti-ICE protesters because a church elder works for ICE. This is utterly despicable. There is no constitutional right to protest a private religious assembly. What Governor Walz and Mayor… — Andrew T. Walker (@AndrewTWalker) January 18, 2026 Shocking...

Affluent, white, female, urban liberals, the “AWFULs,” seem to be everywhere in recent years. Whether it be protesting for “pro-choice,” wearing “pussy hats,” or hurling insults and garbage at federal law enforcement, their numbers appear to be rising. This is, figuratively and literally, a scary sight. Many of these — ahem — ladies do not have children, whether by their choice, others' choice, or abortion. But they are quite nurturing of crime and willing — indeed eager — to nurse evil. They appear far more willing to protect sloth, license, indigence, and crime than an innocent baby or child. I’m...
