VIDEOAny liberals who discount the charge that Minnesota elected officials, especially Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan aka "Flan Southside," were administrators of the Signal Chat group as just another "conspiracy theory" just had their ridiculous dismissal blown out of the water by the president of the Minneapolis Teacher's Union. Listen as she forthrightly admits that elected officials were proud of their work as Signal Chat administrators because they helped IMPEDE federal law enforcement such as ICE.

Americans remain bitterly divided over the chaos that’s engulfed Minneapolis as President Donald Trump seeks to deport illegal-immigrant criminals. Some see the protesters thwarting the enforcement of immigration law as “protecting friends and neighbors” — a form of righteous vigilantism.Others contend Trump’s efforts are legal and necessary — despite the tragic deaths of two civilians who unlawfully interfered with federal enforcement action.The tactics and behavior of Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers are under deserved scrutiny in the cases of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.But what about the anti-ICE provocateurs, agitators and instigators hell-bent on disrupting and impeding...

Kathy Griffin endorses the Minneapolis insurrection being organized over Signal, says it's time "participate in something radical" Those of you that are awake, that see what's going on, what do you think the solution is? I think the murder of Renee Good, the murder of Alex Pretti, putting children on planes and taking them to detention centers—which are really concentration camps. Call it what it is. They're concentration camps in the United States of America in 2026. So, take that in. And I know you don't want to participate in something radical. I don't either... but it is happening all...

Alrighty, we're back. And we have got a clip to play for you. of folks talking about What is taking place, the corruption there? It's a mile white in Minnesota from coupon, or from not coupon, tapon. Tim all the way down. Uh the corruption in the government is is complete. So go ahead and and play the clip. Y'all, the can of worms is open. There is literally dirt and worms everywhere. It turns out that in Minnesota, we may, may. have a whole lot of the governmental entities and leadership like the lieutenant governor involved in coordinating signal...

Encrypted Signal messages show 'rapid responders' mobilized demonstrators to harass federal agents, then socialist groups capitalized on killing to foment protests. The skirmish that led to Saturday's fatal shooting of an agitator by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis and the response that followed were driven by a complex network of far-left organizations with a wide range of causes, a Fox News Digital investigation found. A coordinated web of encrypted chats, street alerts and tracking of ICE "Abductors" in a sophisticated database reviewed by Fox News Digital shows that agitators were already mobilized at the scene where 37-year-old Alex Pretti was...

URGENT UPDATE: I’ve never experienced anything quite like today in my life. I’ve interacted with the Cartel and have witnessed some crazy things in the desert in ‘24. But what strikes me is how organized these agitators in Minneapolis are. They have spotters everywhere in the city and suburbs, on street corners, even 30 minutes away from downtown. They have people at hotels that work with them and signal to them which made it making it difficult for us to lose our tail once my cover was blown. Usually I lose a tail. Not this time. We switched locations THREE...

FBI Director Kash Patel said Monday that he had opened an investigation into the Signal group text chats that Minnesota residents are using to share information about federal immigration agents’ movements, launching a new front in the Trump administration’s conflict there with potential free speech implications.Patel said in an interview with conservative podcaster Benny Johnson that he wanted to know whether any Minnesota residents had put federal agents “in harm’s way” with activities such as sharing agents’ license plate numbers and locations.

The protesting in Minneapolis is not a great thing for anyone, contrary to what some might think. Alex Pretti's death was just the latest incident where someone who was involved ended up being killed by federal agents, though it's the less clear-cut case of a justifiable shooting. What's clear, though, is that this is a very organized effort. The Signal chat that was used for coordination was exposed as involving none other than the LT. Governor of Minnesota, among others, and it illustrated just how coordinated it was. For most of us, this is a little concerning, but not the...

Signal chats have reportedly been used in Minnesota to coordinate rapid responses to ICE activity and alert or deploy anti-ICE agitators, according to multiple reports.Independent journalist Cam Higby has published screenshots and descriptions of Signal chats he says were used to share ICE vehicle locations and coordinate additional agitators, claims DX could not independently verify.

VIDEOIs the Lt. Governor of Minnesota, the hijab wearing Peggy Flanagan, one of the ringleaders of the insurrection in Minneapolis? Signal Chat information released by Cam Higby indicates that Flanagan might be one of the signal administrators in the organized effort to impede ICE in their work. Hopefully an investigation into this matter will resolve whether or not she is guilty of insurrectionist activities. Keep in mind that Flanagan is currently a candidate for U.S. Senator from the Somali flag state of Minnesota.

As a former Special Forces Warrant Officer with multiple rotations running counterinsurgency ops—both hunting insurgents and trying to separate them from sympathetic populations—I’ve seen organized resistance up close. From Anbar to Helmand, the pattern is familiar: spotters, cutouts, dead drops (or modern equivalents), disciplined comms, role specialization, and a willingness to absorb casualties while bleeding the stronger force slowly. What’s unfolding in Minneapolis right now isn’t “protest.” It’s low-level insurgency infrastructure, built by people who’ve clearly studied the playbook. Signal groups at 1,000-member cap per zone. Dedicated roles: mobile chasers, plate checkers logging vehicle data into shared databases, 24/7 dispatch...

When Renee Good drove her car into an ICE agent earlier this month, the left tried to gaslight us into believing she was just some innocent bystander who was just at the wrong place, that she’d just dropped her son off at school and wasn’t supposed to be there. That narrative fell apart fast. Good, we soon learned, was a trained anti-ICE agitator who was absolutely there to obstruct law enforcement. Now we're watching the same playbook unfold with 37-year-old Alex Pretti, the armed agitator shot dead by Border Patrol agents on Saturday in Minneapolis while confronting agents. The talking...

The FBI searched the home of Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson Wednesday morning, as part of a classified document leak investigation. Agents reportedly executed a search warrant at her residence in suburban Alexandria, Va., seizing her phone, a Garmin watch, and two laptops (a personal computer and a Washington Post-issued device). Natanson was reportedly told she is not the target of the investigation. The suspected leaker, Aurelio Perez-Lugones, is a Maryland-based government system administrator with top-secret clearance. The Justice Department alleges in its complaint that he took home classified material, including documents found in his lunchbox and basement. Attorney General...

Researchers have discovered there was an anomaly in Earth's gravitational field between 2006 and 2008, potentially caused by a mineral shift deep within Earth's mantle...The large gravitational anomaly lasted for about two years over the eastern Atlantic Ocean. It peaked in January 2007, the same month Steve Jobs announced the first iPhone (though, of course, there was no connection between the two events).Researchers recently discovered the signal while analyzing data collected by the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellites between 2003 and 2015. The gravitational anomaly happened around the same time as a geomagnetic "jerk" -- an abrupt change...

Another day, another leak. CNN and The Washington Post on Wednesday reported that sources say the Pentagon Inspector General has ‘evidence’ that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s Signal chat included classified information from Central Command. The Pentagon Inspector General expanded his investigation into Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s use of the double-encrypted app Signal in May. Steven Stebbins took over as Acting Inspector General after President Trump fired the previous IG and 17 other inspectors general. Stebbins was first appointed to his position in 2015. Pete Hegseth has been under heavy attack since before his confirmation hearing and the leaks keep coming....

An imposter using AI to mimic Secretary of State Marco Rubio's voice has been sending voice as well as text messages to foreign as well as US officials in Rubio's style of speaking and writing. US authorities do not know who the person is who has been linked to the instances of AI mimicry, according to The Washington Post, however, they believe that the imposter is trying to manipulate government officials “with the goal of gaining access to information or accounts," the outlet said, citing a cable sent to State Department employees from Rubio's office. The imposter has “contacted at...

Former National Security Advisor Mike Waltz was photographed checking his Signal chat the day before President Donald Trump announced he was stepping down from the role. Reuters published photos of Waltz during a Wednesday cabinet meeting checking his Signal account. Chats with newly-appointed National Security Advisor Marco Rubio and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard could be seen on his phone.

Washington -- The infighting and backstabbing that plagued President Donald Trump’s first term have returned as a threat to his second, with deepening fissures over trade, national security and questions of personal loyalty. The latest turmoil threatens to engulf the Pentagon, where Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has pushed out top advisers and faces fresh controversy over sharing sensitive information about airstrikes in Yemen outside of classified channels. A former Pentagon spokesperson who was ousted last week wrote in Politico that Trump should fire Hegseth for presiding over a “full-blown meltdown.” The interpersonal drama is not - at least yet -...

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about forthcoming strikes in Yemen on March 15 in a private Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer, according to four people with knowledge of the chat. Some of those people said that the information Mr. Hegseth shared on the Signal chat included the flight schedules for the F/A-18 Hornets targeting the Houthis in Yemen — essentially the same attack plans that he shared on a separate Signal chat the same day that mistakenly included the editor of The Atlantic.

The wide-ranging leak investigation into the Pentagon continues to claim major scalps.Politico reported this afternoon that a third top official in the Defense Department was put on administrative leave Wednesday and escorted out of the building.The man in question is Colin Carroll, chief of staff to Deputy Defense Secretary Stephen Feinberg.As Politico notes, Carroll is a Marine Corps Reserve officer who has worked at Anduril, a defense contractor that specializes in autonomous systems.He was also infamously fired by the Biden regime for allegedly creating a hostile environment. Before his termination, he served as chief operating officer of the Pentagon’s former...
