I scanned the blogs today oh boy

□ [“Woman Fatally Shot by ICE in Minneapolis For Attempting to Run Over Agent Identified"]

All these months of waiting for someone to be shot must have been driving them nuts.  'Can't call them tyrants if they don't shot you, start attacking them more and more.'  Finally some stupid woman was willing to do that and got late-term aborted and immediately everybody was ready to scream on so-called outrage over the atrocity.  I saw the video, she's actively trying to kill someone and gets killed in response.

Tim Walz' comment stuck out the most to me, partially for its incoherence and partially because he must be thrilled to finally have attention on someone else.  For a day or two he'll be able to enjoy the Somali fraud in peace.  They're trying to start actual fights, now that they finally have an excuse.  They even find time to burn American flags because how else do you show whose side you're on?

I'm guessing the woman will be forgotten soon.  Someone else ran up immediately to self-identify as her wife, no way to know how accurate that is but it does suggest the sort of lunatics we have here.  Hopefully the police and NG will be able to protect themselves and attack others as needed.  The protestors are hoping they'll find more people willing to die for the cause.  Not sure how far this will really go, you don't really deserve to live if you're actively trying to drive over people you don't like.

Biden Admin. Owes Trump a $25 Million Bounty for Capturing Maduro

□ [“Mamdani Boasts Over ‘Briefing’ on Maduro, Then Admits He Doesn’t Have Federal Security Clearance"]

I've tried to avoid paying any attention to this, mostly out of disgust of what's happening to one of the greatest cities in history.  To the extent I've been following this, it does look increasingly like, not sure how to put it, college students who spend all their energy trying to pretend they're smart.  Someone made that comment about Mamdani's inauguration speech that this wasn't remotely for ordinary people, it was throwing in all the buzzwords that college students focus on.

We see that here as he rants about how horrible Trump is for capturing Maduro and everything that's wrong about that which he got from the briefing.  Then someone asked him if he actually had the clearance to get such a briefing and he had to admit he didn't.  But at least the lies served their purpose.

Someone else getting attention is his "Tenant Advocate," a 37-year old self-identifies-as-female who hates white people and private property, even though she's white and comes from a very expensive home in Nashville, owned by her mother.  A reporter asked her about that and all she could do was start crying and run away.  Is this not standard marxist behavior, inability to handle any straightforward questions, especially pointing out their own hypocrisy.  This is why they stay in rich people's neighborhoods and send out men-with-guns to impose their will.

The rest are all generic communists.  Mandami's inauguration also said "We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism."  These people don't even know what individuality is but they think they can erase it.  We can already see this is guaranteed to fail soon, it's just a question of when and how.  Other appointees support Muslim terrorists, the governor's office already wants to copy their 'free' childcare.  The disaster just keeps getting bigger.

□ [“Iranians Are Getting Stronger and Pushing Back Against the Iranian Regime"]

Of course there's no way to know if this is real, we can only hope it's true.  It's probably another reason the left has really really need to pull its stunt in Minneapolis today, trying to claim they have something in common with Iranian protestors.  The delusion never ends with these people.

With Iran, I'm sure we have special forces on the ground.  I'm also sure we have drones, I'm not sure if we have actual aircraft overhead.  I can't remember if we had actually taken control of the air after Trump's attack last summer.  If we did take over the sky and didn't give up after the attack, then we have the mullahs.  It's just a matter of how long it takes and how peacefully they can be overthrown.  If we don't have the air, well, I still assume we're doing what we can.  Hopefully that will be enough.

Gotta admit, I'm not really sure what will change if the mullahs flee.  The regime has been around long enough to at least *seem* permanent and Persia is just so foreign to our perceptions anyway.  Then there's the rest of their connections to the Muslim world.  Getting rid of the mullahs isn't going to fix everything no matter how happy we might be at first.

□ [“Walz Says Minnesota is at 'War with Our Federal Government' After Fatal ICE-Involved Shooting"]

There are times where I could easily fanaticize someone in the room with him tired of listening to this gibberish.  Pull out your gun and point it at him, 'so what do you think should be done in this war?  We really going to shoot the enemy?'  It wouldn't work for Walz because he's surrounded by men-with-guns but with more-generic leftists who don't know any better and could only rely on each other for protection so they're screwed.  'I don't think you know what a war really is so here, let me show you.'

Clearly they're trying to get something started with this but it just doesn't seem thought threw very well.  They want to feel connected to Iranians fighting a real tyranny, they're glad they finally got ICE to shoot someone after all this time so maybe now they can get more people to run over federal agents.  And they'll try to use this to distract from Somalipop because that just keeps getting worse.

There's basic information coming out, 54% of Somalis are on food stamps, 73% on Medicaid and 81% on welfare after living in Minnesota for 10 years.  They've had no incentive to become competent workers like the actual Americans who have to pay for them.  Somalis and their supporters self-identify as being at war but they aren't going to like how this works out.  And who do they think will do the fighting for their side?
