Austin, we have a problem.
Even as many in Texas are pushing back against the rising presence of Islamic Supremacist organizations and hate groups trying to spread their hateful views and calls for the conquest and mass murder of non-Muslims, Austin is welcoming them in.
Fresh off declaring January to be ‘Muslim Heritage Month’, the city of Austin, Texas also decided to declare Jan 22nd, “CAIR-Austin” day after the local chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood organization (a violent Islamist movement originally funded by Nazi Germany) whose national organization celebrated the Hamas massacres of Oct 7 and was named an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas funding trial.
But according to
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on Saturday called on President Donald Trump to end sweeping Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in the state after what officials and witnesses described as a second fatal shooting this month by federal agents in Minneapolis.
"I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning," Walz wrote in a post on X. "Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now."
Federal officials say a Minneapolis kennel employee targeted a CBP detection dog with an anti‑ICE message, marking a new escalation in the city’s hostility toward immigration enforcement.
Federal sources report that the message was discovered during a routine welfare check on the K‑9, which was temporarily housed at the facility while supporting federal enforcement operations in the region. Officials say the act wasn’t an accident or a joke, but a deliberate expression of the growing anti‑ICE sentiment that has increasingly spilled over into harassment of personnel, equipment, and now even the animals assigned to protect them.
A federal agent shot and killed a man who was brandishing a gun while officers in Minneapolis were attempting to arrest an illegal criminal Saturday morning, the Department of Homeland Security said.
The incident, which was captured on video, drew an immediate crowd of rowdy protesters, prompting law enforcement to fire multiple rounds of tear gas in an effort to disperse them.
Rioters were seen hurling trash cans at an armored vehicle and chanting at armed federal officers in the aftermath of the incident.
The fallout from former President Joe Biden's weaponized Department of Justice (DOJ) continues to wreak havoc on those it attempted to crush, even with a new administration calling the shots.

The beauty of migration as a weapon was that it twisted the reputation of America as a champion of human rights around the country’s neck, and America would not see the noose until it was too late.- Peter Schweizer. It is odd to be part of the ethnic group that everyone hates. The Russians use “Anglo-Saxon” as a swear word. All the filthy Marxists, by which I mean governments and ruling elites in South and Central America use the term - the Anglo-Saxon - as a curse and the Mexican President, Claudia Sheinbaum, a puppet of the cartels, plays a song at her rallies:
We are coming to Reconquista
This is some radical swag.
A Muslim nonprofit that’s raked in over $260,000 in taxpayer dough and has ties to Mayor Zohran Mamdani hosted a pop-up fundraiser featuring a twisted array of trinkets promoting Hamas and other US-designated terror groups.
During the Muslim American Society’s Jan. 18 support-Sudan event at its Brooklyn youth center, vendors peddled key chains, stickers, pins and other tchotchkes in support of Hamas, Hezbollah and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Other items at the event, called Thrift4Sudan, featured reverential images of late terrorist leaders Hassan Nasrallah of Hezbollah and Yahya Sinwar of Hamas, and a masked figure resembling
The mass, coordinated anti-ICE protests and walk-outs across the country on Friday—many of them coordinated by organized labor—are the latest sign that unions and left-wing activist groups view resistance to ICE and immigration enforcement as their best opportunity in years to rekindle the rage and rioting that marked the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020.
That was the year when, in the name of George Floyd, Black Lives Matter rioters torched a Minneapolis police precinct, smashed in storefronts in Los Angeles, and launched fireworks inside a Seattle Starbucks in addition to violent and sometimes deadly unrest in other large cities such as Atlanta, Milwaukee, and Portland. Roughly five years later,
California man is accused of stealing at least $10 million in taxpayer funds meant to house and feed the homeless to fund his lavish lifestyle.
Alexander Soofer, 42, the executive director of the South Los Angeles-based charity Abundant Blessings, was arrested Friday on a federal criminal complaint and charged with wire fraud, a felony carrying up to 20 years in prison. First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli announced the bust during a news conference on Friday. “I want to tell you a little bit about his organization, Abundant Blessings.

Allegedly Placing $10K Bounty on Border
Chief's Head replies
A federal jury found an alleged gangbanger not guilty of placing a high-priced bounty on one of the biggest faces of the Trump administration’s illegal immigration crackdown.
Juan Espinoza Martinez, a Mexican national living unlawfully in the United States, was found not guilty on Thursday of placing a $10,000 hit on Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino.
The illegal alien’s defense team argued during the two-day trial that he was not actually a member of the notorious Latin Kings gang and that his statements about the Bovino bounty were just him “re-sharing neighborhood gossip.” “Leftist judges and juries are empowering violent insurrection
Texas formally exonerated Tommy Lee Walker, a black man executed in 1957 for the rape and murder of a white woman, a decision the state reached nearly 70 years after it ended his life using the electric chair.
Officials admit that Walker didn’t commit the crime and that his conviction rested on unreliable evidence and racial bias.
This month’s admission didn’t change anything but how history records his name.
A Case Built on Coercion and Silence
Walker’s conviction relied heavily on his confession police received after prolonged interrogation. There wasn’t any physical evidence that connected him to the crime, witness testimony shifted, and his defense counsel didn’t challenge the prosecution’s narrative with meaningful scrutiny.
California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Friday that the Golden State will remain a part of the World Health Organization's network, even though the Trump administration just completed the United States' withdrawal from the WHO.
Newsom made the announcement after meeting with WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, this week.
The governor said California is now the first and only state to join WHO's Global Outbreak Alert & Response Network, which is tasked with rapidly detecting, verifying, assessing, and responding to emerging public health threats.
General Motors has announced that production of the newly updated 2027 Chevrolet Bolt EV will end after approximately 18 months to make way for a gas-powered Buick crossover at its Kansas manufacturing facility.
Inside EVs reports that General Motors has confirmed plans to discontinue production of the heavily updated 2027 Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicle after a limited production run of about one and a half years. The decision will allow the automaker to repurpose its Fairfax, Kansas, factory for manufacturing the Buick Envision, a gas-powered crossover currently built in China that will be reshored to the United States.
A Chevrolet spokesperson confirmed the move, stating that when
We reported the other day on a terrific X post from Blue Lives Matter about faking out the anti-ICE agitators. It was great. They "weren't saying" they were operating in nine different states and frustrating the anti-ICE crew. Now they have an update on "#operationfakeout" involving the "Report ICE activity" hotlines. Oh, now that was a classic scene from the movie, A Bronx Tale. Blue Lives Matter made it clear they weren't calling in the addresses. Just the thought is something else.
And while they're occupied with that, ICE can go about doing its job without being interrupted. It's about stymying their interference.
On the Ground in Minneapolis
replies
The entire establishment in Minnesota has mobilized against ICE’s presence here. Renee Good, who ran her vehicle into an ICE officer, apparently on purpose although we will never know for sure what she was thinking, is treated like a second Joan of Arc. Meanwhile, the local, national and international “news” media consistently lie about the men and women of ICE, smearing them as fascist predators.
A classic instance is the five year old boy whom ICE officers saved from possibly freezing to death after his father abandoned him, whereupon the international press falsely alleged that they had “arrested” or “kidnapped” or “detained” the little boy, or “used him as bait.”
Vice President JD Vance revealed this week that about $7 billion worth of Small Business Administration (SBA) fraud has been discovered in California, an indicator the theft of federal funds across all departments in the Golden State could well exceed any other state’s. I think we have a fraud problem that is much worse in California than it is in Minnesota,” Vance said in an interview Thursday with Newsmax. He continued, “I was talking actually to our small business administrator and I think she found probably a half billion dollars of fraud in Minneapolis and the broader Minnesota area.
American taxpayers are on course to receive some of the largest tax refunds in U.S. history this year as a result of President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) which was signed into law last July 4.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) recently acknowledged that the official start of tax season is typically a “dreaded time” for many people but told reporters that “this year, there’s going to be lots of happy surprises” due to the working families tax cuts contained in the OBBB. Johnson explained that, under the changes made to key parts of the IRS tax code for 2025,
Elon Musk’s Larger Mission: Restoring

Accountability, Liberty, and Constitutional Government replies
When Elon Musk purchased Twitter in 2022, many commentators treated the move as a personal eccentricity or a risky business bet. But as the years since have shown, Musk’s decision was something far more consequential: an effort to restore His defense of free speech was only the beginning.
Musk’s leadership at X revealed something deeper about his worldview — one rooted in constitutional limits, transparency, and a belief that concentrated power, whether in government or corporate bureaucracies, is inherently dangerous to liberty. In an era when most corporate leaders bend to political pressure, Musk has repeatedly chosen confrontation over compliance when core freedoms are at stake.
Physics and reality are taking their revenge.
And New Yorkers are paying the price.
On Thursday, the Public Service Commission approved Con Ed’s request for a rate hike that will result in an additional $615 per year in gas and electricity costs for the average New York City resident by 2028.
While bureaucrats are insisting that “law, not politics” is driving the cost increases, the truth is that over the past few years, New York’s Democratic politicians have made a series of disastrous energy decisions.
Indeed,
Florida State Attorney Monique Worrell is under fire these days for a decision she made several years ago that has come back to haunt her. Back in 2021, a man opened fire in a Wawa gas station parking lot in Kissimmee, shooting at one individual and several vehicles, totally at random. He was duly charged with attempted murder, but was found not guilty by reason of insanity. Now, however, he has murdered three people in another random attack, and Worrell’s actions on the first charge are gaining her some unwanted attention.
Central Florida’s WESH 2 made it clear Thursday that Worrell was very much on the defensive
Trump says FEMA is ‘fully prepared’

for Winter Storm Fern as over 9,000 flights
are canceled replies
President Trump assured Americans that the government is prepared for the ‘catastrophic’ Winter Storm Fern as more than 9,000 flights have been canceled across the US.
Over 235 million people under winter storm warnings have begun to hunker down as the devastating storm is projected to bring snow, ice and frigid temperatures to parts of 40 states stretching from Texas over to the Carolinas and up the East Coast.
Trump urged residents in Fern’s path on Friday night to “stay safe and stay warm” and that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is ready to respond to the potentially historic storm.
New York City’s new Democratic Socialist (communist) Mayor Zohran Mamdani recently made it clear that the children of people in the country illegally will be included in the city’s new ‘free’ childcare program.
He went on to reaffirm New York’s status as a sanctuary city and pushed lies about ICE arresting people without showing warrants.
It’s amazing that New York City is going down this road just as a daycare centered fraud scandal is on the verge of unseating the governor and attorney general in Minnesota.
A nurse who hoped that Donald Trump‘s White House press secretary would suffer a severe injury during childbirth is no longer employed. This is good news, because someone who wishes grave harm on political opponents should not be treating mothers and babies.
There is a difference that not even all conservatives understand between free speech and explicitly wishing harm or terror on someone. Even the Founders were in agreement that calling for someone’s death or crippling injury is not, in fact, First Amendment-protected speech. And in the case of a nurse, this is particularly relevant if she fantasizes about medical catastrophe
