I have given up on any hope of the riots in MN and elsewhere being controlled. He is right -- if the Insurrection Act isn't invoked this will continue to spread like wildfire as the rioters/protesters/insurrectionists know that there is no repercussions and they know that big leftists $$ and the leftist political machine is behind them.  Trump's threats are meaningless unless he does something.  Yes, there are GOP lawmakers who are urging Trump NOT to invoke the Insurrection Act -- you would think that he would have learned that the leftist insurrection isn't going to go away by continuing these battles .... his threats are meaningless. He FAILED to quell the riots his first administration and here we sit -- he is FAILING again and we are worse off than before.

Bondi who is the AG has made a complete laughing stock of Trump's DOJ.  Investigations mean absolutely nothing unless there are arrests and people are made to stand trial. 
Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

Cool those fan jets of yours.

Stop the cash spigot on funding these people and the riots stop.
We know some of what's going on behind the scenes but there is likely a lot going on in the background we don't know about, both that will put a lid on the money-flow.

And your continued Bondi thrashing is getting old as you seem to be not blaming those creating the lawlessness but those who are dealing with stopping it.

Never give up hope.

OK -- I'll stay silent on Bondi.  I won't say another word about Trump not invoking the Insurrection Act.  I think most of us can see the writing on the wall.

As for stopping the money flow -- IMO -- Soros and his 'gang' of leftists/marxists are behind a lot of this and have way too much money and are much too large to be stopped.  IF you think you can stop Soros' money and all if his anti-American foundations and companies .... let me know how.

Militants ‘Ice Down’ Pathway at Minneapolis Federal Facility to Injure Officers



A daytime riot at a federal facility in Minnesota led to insurgents pouring water across a point of egress used by riot police in an apparent attempt to ice the ground and injure officers.

On Thursday morning, open-borders militants gathered outside the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building amid days of left-wing upheaval in the Twin Cities.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Too Good(?) to Check: Minneapolis Police Department Bleeding Officers—Again
https://hotair.com/david-strom/2026/01/16/too-good-to-check-minneapolis-police-department-bleeding-officers-n3810934?utm_source=badaily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl&bcid=fc85d9fd0a377773055f1925941bbce485d3c69b5dace0c187ab5912dd7d0cd7&lctg=26251812

Quote:
After the George Floyd riots, Minneapolis lost hundreds of police officers due to resignations and even disability. The department went from over 900 officers to as few as 560.

According to the city charter and a court order based on it, the absolute minimum staffing level of the department is 731, but the department has been struggling to fill the slots despite a significant increase in pay in order to attract more officers.

You don't have to wonder why.

Even worse, about a third of the force is nearing retirement in the next few years, which is likely why so many officers stayed, in fact. Who wants to leave a cushy pension when you just have to stick it out for a year or three?

Now, reports indicate that more officers are leaving due to the department's horrific morale. The fact that morale is in the toilet is not in dispute; the number of officers leaving or claiming family leave is only rumored, although the source of the rumors is good. Consider the numbers unverified but realistic...



Minnesota just implemented a 12-week, few-question-asked paid leave program that apparently a lot of officers are taking advantage of. As in, perhaps, as many as 100 of the 600 or so officers on staff.

Justice Dept. launches criminal investigation of Minnesota governor
https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2026/01/16/trump-minnesota-walz-frey-criminal-investigation/

Quote:
The Justice Department has issued subpoenas for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey as part of an investigation alleging that the two Democratic leaders are impeding federal law enforcement officers’ abilities to do their jobs in the state, two people familiar with the matter confirmed Friday.

The subpoenas, which are without recent precedent, escalate an already bitter political battle between the Trump administration and state officials following the fatal shooting of a woman in Minneapolis by an immigration officer last week. That shooting happened amid a surge of federal immigration officers in the state ordered by President Donald Trump.

One of the people familiar with the case confirmed that the plan was to serve the subpoenas Friday. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an open investigation. Neither Walz nor Frey had been served with a subpoena by early Friday evening, spokespeople for the officials said.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

Four Articles of Impeachment Filed Against Gov. Tim Walz
https://wabcradio.com/2026/01/13/four-articles-of-impeachment-filed-against-gov-tim-walz/

Quote:
(New York, NY) – Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who nearly became the nation’s vice president, has been brought up on four articles of impeachment. Having already suspended his campaign for re-election, this is a stunning development for a politician who had been seen as a strong incumbent, if not a standard-bearer for the entire Democratic party.


The Minnesota House reconvenes next month. That’s when proceedings could get underway. Similar to how other public officials are impeached, it does not mean immediate reomval from office. The Minnesota State Senate would hold a “trial” and determine Walz “guilt” in order to be removed, if the House indicts, or impeaches Walz.

Judge limits ICE’s crowd control tactics following Minneapolis shooting
The judge’s order prevents federal agents from arresting peaceful protesters.

By Kyle Cheney, Hassan Ali Kanu and Josh Gerstein
01/16/2026

A federal judge on Friday barred federal agents in Minneapolis from arresting peaceful protesters, or using nonlethal munitions and crowd control tools against them.

The 80-page ruling by U.S. District Judge Kate Menendez, a Biden appointee who sits in Minneapolis, lands amid an increasingly confrontational dynamic between the Trump administration and Minnesota officials who have accused Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents of stoking fear and violence on local streets. And it comes a week after an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Good.

Menendez’s order bars Homeland Security and ICE officials involved in Operation Metro Surge from “using pepper-spray or similar nonlethal munitions and crowd dispersal tools against persons who are engaging in peaceful and unobstructive protest activity.” The judge also prohibited federal agents from stopping vehicles following them, as long as those vehicles are maintaining a safe and “appropriate” distance.

“The First Amendment protects speech and peaceful assembly — not rioting,” DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. “DHS is taking appropriate and constitutional measures to uphold the rule of law and protect our officers and the public from dangerous rioters. We remind the public that rioting is dangerous — obstructing law enforcement is a federal crime and assaulting law enforcement is a felony.”

In a statement, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said: “This absurd ruling embraces a dishonest, left-wing narrative. Here’s the truth: federal agents have acted lawfully to protect themselves and ensure the integrity of their operations when individuals attempt to intervene. The Trump Administration will always enforce the law.” https://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/16/ice-minneapolis-arrests-judge-protests-00735416

That's the way I see it.  We've all seen the videos, these "protesters" are not peaceful!  They are attacking ICE Agents, ramming their cars and trying to run them over.  At this point it's pure self-defense, and the Judge's order is superfluous.

That's the way I see it.  We've all seen the videos, these "protesters" are not peaceful!  They are attacking ICE Agents, ramming their cars and trying to run them over.  At this point it's pure self-defense, and the Judge's order is superfluous.
Also, blasting people in the ear with air horns. That's assault. Not peaceful.

Most of them are not engaged in peaceful nor unobstructive activity, so let fly with the tear gas, pepper spray and water cannons!

  • Ah, the air is so much fresher here...
Now that we've defined that, since protesters have been anything but civil, I guess that doesn't apply much here but can be used as a reference.

The judge also prohibited federal agents from stopping vehicles following them, as long as those vehicles are maintaining a safe and “appropriate” distance.

You can stalk people and especially cops as long as you maintain a safe distance? Since when? Car stalking is a form of free speech? What speech is being expressed here?

Exactly where is the body of cases to support this complete reversal of a ruling?

Excerpt:
While the radical left was still snoring late into the morning, **ICE agents quietly moved in and made targeted arrests in Minneapolis — *without obstruction*, without megaphones, without mobs blocking their way**. That’s how effective law enforcement works when you actually show up prepared and willing to do the job.



Smart move, isn't it. I'd bring a water cannon to the later day exercises
