Heartache: DOJ Investigating Wackos Who Invaded Church

The same Credentialed Media and Democrats whining about this are the same ones who had zero problem hunting down people who peacefully walked through the halls of Congress, The People’s House, causing no problems, no yelling, no screaming, and prosecuted them for felonies

DOJ probing protesters group that disrupted services at church with ICE pastor

The Department of Justice said Sunday it is investigating a group of protesters in Minnesota who disrupted services at a church where a local official with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement apparently serves as a pastor.

A livestreamed video posted on the Facebook page of Black Lives Matter Minnesota, one of the protest’s organizers, shows a group of people interrupting services at the Cities Church in St. Paul by chanting “ICE out” and “Justice for Renee Good.” The 37-year-old mother of three was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis earlier this month amid a surge in federal immigration enforcement activities.

The protesters allege that one of the church’s pastors – David Easterwood – also leads the local ICE field office overseeing the operations that have involved violent tactics and illegal arrests.

Justice Department Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said her agency is investigating federal civil rights violations “by these people desecrating a house of worship and interfering with Christian worshippers.”

“A house of worship is not a public forum for your protest! It is a space protected from exactly such acts by federal criminal and civil laws!” she said on social media.

The 1st Amendment does not apply in a private building on private property. I’ve heard the moonbats yammer about it being public because anyone can walk in, the doors are open, which doesn’t mean they can come in and go batguano insane

Nekima Levy Armstrong, who participated in the protest and leads the local grassroots civil rights organization Racial Justice Network, dismissed the potential DOJ investigation as a sham and a distraction from federal agents’ actions in Minneapolis-St. Paul.

Whenever the “distraction” word comes out you know they’re in trouble. Also, they created the “distraction”.

Anti-ICE agitator who stormed Minnesota church service also harassed congregants at Pete Hegseth’s church

One of the anti-ICE agitators who stormed into a Twin Cities church Sunday has also been accused of harassing congregants at Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s church in Washington, D.C.

Anti-ICE agitators stormed Cities Church sanctuary on Sunday, causing chaos and insisting that one of the pastors is the acting director of ICE’s St. Paul field office. Protesters were heard shouting “ICE out” and “Justice for Renee Good” in the middle of services in front of shocked churchgoers. A man with the group was identified as William Kelly, who goes by “DaWokeFarmer” on TikTok, where he has over 66,000 followers, and regularly posts politically charged videos attacking ICE, President Donald Trump and members of his administration with profanity.

They’re all professional agitators. No real jobs, just funded by shady groups to be, well, professional assholes.

Maybe if Democrats hadn’t completely weaponized the justice system to start with this would not happen. But, it is delicious that Lemon could be charged under the KKK Act, and the wackos at the church could also be charged.

Oops: Trump Pulling Out Of The Climate Scam Causes Money Problems

Certainly all the Warmists could chip in a bunch of money to Do Something, right?

Trump retreat on climate change creates major global funding shortfall, expert warns

The Trump administration’s retreat from global climate commitments is already punching holes in international efforts to combat climate change, creating funding gaps that other governments and private investors are unlikely to fill, a senior climate policy expert warned.

Ed Carr, director of the US office at the Stockholm Environment Institute, told Anadolu that Washington’s withdrawal from the Paris Agreement and sweeping cuts to climate-related programs are reverberating across the multilateral system.

“The US was a very large part of the funding for climate action around the world,” Carr told Anadolu. “That is something this administration controls. The Trump administration clearly is not going to spend money on this in any significant way, and that’s going to create huge gaps.”

President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly dismissed climate change as a “hoax” and more recently a “fraud,” moved swiftly after returning to office to dismantle US participation in international climate frameworks.

Huh, so those other government aren’t willing to pay their fair share? To put their money where their mouth’s are? They just wanted the US to do it? IE, the American taxpayer? Well, we’re no longer your piggy bank.

Carr said the impact is already visible inside the UN system.

He said that the World Meteorological Organization is expected to cut a significant number of staff positions, while the United Nations Environment Program is likely to face similar staff reductions and reductions in its climate-related work.

Why can’t others pay for it? How about those super rich folks who flew private jets to Brazil for COP30? One less mega-yacht each would go a long way. Funny how China isn’t jumping in. They don’t want to spend money, they want to get rich of the scam.

Anyhow, like most stuff, the funding that used to come from America mostly disappeared into the pockets of NGOs, lawyers, politicians, 3rd world warlords, etc, with very little being spent as intended.

Gemini AI did a pretty interesting job with that graphic, eh?

Judge To Soon Decide If Federal Immigration Enforcement Can Continue In Minnesota

Does left wing loon Judge Kathy realize that this is all authorized by laws passed by duly elected Congresses and signed into law by duly elected presidents? What makes her think any lawsuit can stop the federal government from engaging in a Constitutional power of the federal government?

DOJ due to respond to Minnesota lawsuit seeking immediate stop to immigration enforcement surge

An important deadline arrives Monday in the legal standoff between Minnesota and the federal government, as the U.S. Department of Justice plans to respond to a lawsuit seeking an immediate stop to the surge of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in the state through a temporary injunction.

While Monday is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a federal holiday, the judge said the issue was too important to wait.

U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez is considering whether to grant an immediate temporary restraining order limiting ICE activities. She said last week she would not issue the temporary restraining order until she heard a response from the federal government.

The lawsuit was filed late last week by the state of Minnesota and the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The suit argues the unprecedented surge of an estimated 3,000 federal agents is endangering citizens. It accuses ICE of violating the First and Tenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

Oh, this should be good

According to the lawsuit, Minnesotans have been “unlawfully seized and been the victims of excessive force by federal immigration agents for exercising their First Amendment rights to observe or protest federal government conduct.”

They have no Right to get violent, threatening, or interfere with law enforcement. Looking at that link in the 1st paragraph

The Tenth Amendment protects states’ sovereignty and limits federal powers to those granted in the U.S. Constitution. It provides autonomy to the states in issues like education, elections and public safety. While Ellison is optimistic, some legal experts think the lawsuit is a long shot because it would be similar to telling the FBI it could not operate in the state.

I remember when Democrats, including Obama, sued over Arizona’s SB1070, the “show me your papers” law, and they all said that immigration was a federal power. And, it’s in the Constitution. It can be delegated to the states, but, it is not a power that the States have.

Meanwhile, this is hilarious

I wonder how many have defund the polices signs and bumper stickers?

Moonbats Invade Church During Service Saying The Pastor Of Being ICE Agent

Who put them up to this moonbattery?

Watch: ‘Sanctuary City’ Radicals Invade Church Sanctuary

Anti-ICE protesters invaded a church in Minnesota on Sunday, accusing the pastor of being a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent.

In a live YouTube video recorded by former CNN host Don Lemon, protesters were seen storming into Cities Church in Minneapolis. Protesters were heard chanting, “Hands up, Don’t shoot,” and “ICE out.”

Lemon was heard clarifying on video that he was “not part of the group” and that he was just there “photographing.”

Lemon explained that, according to the protesters, they had allegedly discovered “one of the pastors” is a “member of ICE.”

Lemon just happened to be there? Did he put them up to this?

Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Harmeet Dhillon revealed that an investigation had been launched into “the potential violations of the federal FACE Act.”

“The @CivilRights in investigating the potential violations of the federal FACE Act by these people desecrating a house of worship and interfering with Christian worshippers,” Dhillon wrote in a post on X.

Breitbart News’s Katherine Hamilton has previously reported that the FACE Act, which was passed in 1994, prohibits “violent, threatening, damaging, and obstructive conduct intended to injure, intimidate, or interfere with the right to seek, obtain, or provide reproductive health services.”

Perhaps, but, I don’t have a lot of confidence that anyone will be arrested. And, even if they are, some left-wing wacko judge will drop the charges. The FACE Act does also protect churches

“Lemon: “Listen, there’s a constitution, the First Amendment to freedom of speech and freedom to assemble and protest.”

Pastor: “We’re here to worship Jesus because the hope of the world is Jesus Christ…”

Lemon: “But did you try to talk to them?”

Pastor: “No one is willing to talk. I have to take care of my church and my family so I ask that you would also leave this building.”

Imagine storming a church mid worship and thinking you are the good guys.”

Lemon’s an idiot. There is no freedom of speech or protest within a privately owned building.

Yeah, it was about protesting Government peaceably without fear of reprisal. He’s a dipshit.

Bummer: Wall Street Is Abandoning Climate (scam) Pledges

It’s all fun and games when you think you’re Doing Something for the Earth, both because you want to look good (for insane cultists) and because you are kinda forced to do it by politicians. There comes a point when this makes no financial sense, kinda like how the yutes have realized that ordering delivery every day for most meals is a a Bad Idea, and now they’re on to Hamburger Helper

How Wall Street Turned Its Back on Climate Change

In January 2020, Larry Fink, the chief executive of BlackRock, the largest asset manager in the world, stunned the business world by declaring that he intended to use the trillions of dollars managed by his firm to address global warming.

“Every government, company, and shareholder must confront climate change,” Mr. Fink wrote, calling for “a fundamental reshaping of finance.”

A few days later, Mr. Fink arrived in Davos, Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum’s annual gathering, donning a scarf featuring a design of the “warming stripes,” a pattern that depicts 150 years of rising global temperatures.

Mr. Fink’s impassioned call to address climate change was the unofficial start of a movement. Nearly every major financial institution was soon pledging to reduce emissions, joining high-minded alliances designed to phase out fossil fuels and promising to support clean energy. Environmental, social and governance factors, known as E.S.G., became a defining feature of Wall Street investing.

Alas, the money and willpower and caring seems to have ended

But six years later, many of those Wall Street institutions have walked back or abandoned their commitments.

The alliances — like the Net-Zero Banking Alliance and the Net-Zero Asset Managers initiative — that were meant to steer investments toward clean energy and away from fossil fuels have largely fallen apart. Investors have withdrawn tens of billions of dollars each quarter from E.S.G. funds.

While U.S. investment in clean energy has boomed in recent years — reaching $279 billion last year — many large corporations have gone silent on climate change. On company earnings calls, mentions of words like climate and sustainability have plunged by 75 percent over the past year, according to a Bloomberg analysis.

And with President Trump back in office and using the presidency to promote fossil fuels and attack the clean energy industry, Wall Street’s retreat from climate action has coincided with American banks doubling down on coal, oil and gas projects.

The idea of all these companies and such are to make money. Are they making money off “green” energy and all the other stuff? The answer is apparently “no”. Anyhow, the rest of the article is a deep dive into how the climate investment scam rose and then fell. Oh, well, too bad.

NY Times Super Upset Trump’s DOJ Looking At Negative Info On Those Who Investigated Trump

The Fish Wrap wasn’t upset that the Biden DOJ was investigating Trump after he left office, raiding his home, searching through his wife’s lingerie, coordinating with state level Democrats to prosecute Trump, and so forth. Nor all the people who worked for Trump who were put in jail. Nor what the Obama admin did when Trump started running in 2015.

Under Patel, F.B.I. Scours Its Records to Discredit Trump Opponents

The F.B.I. has had many missions in the more than half-century since its founding director, J. Edgar Hoover, died. It has chased spies, foiled terrorist attacks, ushered in a modern era of innovation and decreased crime rates.

But under its current chief, Kash Patel, the bureau has added payback to its portfolio. Agents now scour the F.B.I.’s vast holdings to root out negative information about those who once investigated President Trump, according to current and former officials, lawmakers and lawyers representing some of those targeted.

Administration officials say it is an essential task in ending what they denounce as the “weaponization” of law enforcement by Democrats. Critics say it is little more than using federal law enforcement to carry out a partisan opposition research operation.

Almost from the moment Mr. Patel took over the bureau in February, F.B.I. personnel have been poring over case files, internal Justice Department correspondence and other sensitive materials to find documents intended to expose and discredit federal law enforcement officials who investigated Mr. Trump and his allies.

The material appears to be coming from at least three streams. There is the bureau’s production of files in response to longstanding inquiries by Republicans on Capitol Hill; documents Mr. Patel’s team has found through self-generated searches; and self-described whistle-blowers, including at least one from the F.B.I., who have passed on sensitive documents from Trump investigations, including grand jury information that by law is supposed to remain confidential.

In other words, they’re looking at real information on how members of the FBI, DOJ, and others used their power to go after Orange Man Bad, and the Times and Dems do not like this.

Much of it has related to Arctic Frost, the investigation the F.B.I. led into efforts by Mr. Trump and others to overturn the 2020 presidential election. That inquiry ultimately formed the core of the election interference case brought in Washington by Jack Smith, the special counsel who twice indicted Mr. Trump and is a frequent target of the president’s calls for retribution.

“Arctic Frost was a runaway train that swept up information from hundreds of innocent people simply because of their political affiliation,” Mr. Grassley said last month.

The Times didn’t care about those people. They were collateral damage on the way to Get Trump.

Mr. Grassley has requested information about Mr. Smith’s inquiry since 2022, and repeatedly expressed frustration with the Biden administration’s refusal to turn over internal documents. That padlocked door has been kicked open by Mr. Patel.

The Times doesn’t seem to have a problem with the Biden admin hiding info from Congress. Anyhow, Perhaps the Times should have been advising Democrats to not do what they did, because payback is a bitch. The Times actually cheered the partisan investigations of Trump and his people on.
