Minneapolis Mayor Trots Out Heckler’s Veto After Moonbat Gets Himself Shot

By William Teach January 25, 2026 – 7:00 am

This is what happened

(Fox News) The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) identified the man fatally shot by a Border Patrol agent in Minneapolis on Saturday as one of its members, Alex Jeffrey Pretti.

Pretti, a 37-year-old Minneapolis resident and ICU nurse, was shot during an immigration enforcement operation early Saturday targeting Jose Huerta-Chuma, an illegal immigrant with a criminal history including domestic assault for intentional conflict bodily harm, disorderly conduct and driving without a valid license.

Homeland Security officials said Pretti approached Border Patrol agents while armed with a 9mm pistol and “violently resisted” when they attempted to disarm him. (snip)

“At this time, many of the details remain unclear,” AFGE wrote in a statement. “Video of the incident is circulating on social media, and the Department of Homeland Security has publicly stated that the victim was brandishing a weapon at officers. However, based on the video currently available, that claim is not clearly established.”

If you’re approaching federal law enforcement agents with a gun, what are you planning to do with it? Even if you legally own it and have a concealed carry permit. What was he going to do with a $1,200 Sig Sauer with modifications? So, of course we get

Minneapolis Mayor’s Ultimatum to Trump, ‘End This Operation, Safety Will Be Restored

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey rushed to a news conference on Saturday within hours of a man being shot and killed by a Border Patrol agent on the city’s south side. The mayor said little to calm Minneapolis residents but did propose an ultimatum to President Donald J. Trump: End your immigration operation, and safety will be restored in the city.

Frey was joined at the podium by Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara and the city’s Emergency Management Director Rachel Sayre. From the start, the trio of city officials acknowledged they had few details of the shooting but were quick to condemn the federal agents involved in the shooting of the armed man early Saturday morning.

Frey’s began his statement saying, “I just saw a video of more than six masked agents pummeling one of our constituents and shooting him to death. The mayor made no mention of the suspect being armed with a 9mm pistol as he approached the agents. Frey next went on to imply federal agents were randomly shooting the city’s residents without cause, asking rhetorically, “How more residents, how many more Americans need to die or get badly hurt for this operation to end?” (snip)

Frey wrapped up with what sounded like an ultimatum to the President implying there will be no restoration of safety until the enhanced immigration enforcement efforts under Trump’s Operation Metro Surge have ended saying, “To President Trump, this is a moment to act like a leader, put Minneapolis, put America first in this moment, let’s achieve peace, let’s end this operation and I’m telling you, our city will come back, safety will be restored.”

Instead of giving criminal illegal aliens up to ICE, along with advising his moonbat base to stay away from federal immigration officers, he entices them to interfere, and even get violent. In this case, Frey uses the heckler’s veto to stop the federal government from enforcing federal law while taking the side of the unhinged, violent protests.

These people are nuts.

Oh, Good, MIT Comes Up With New, Doomy Climate (scam) Model

By William Teach January 24, 2026 – 3:09 pm

Is anyone surprised that it prognosticates worse doom?

New MIT climate model forecasts dangerous warming, despite surge in renewable energy

After yet another international climate summit ended last fall without binding commitments to phase out fossil fuels, a leading global climate model is offering a stark forecast for the decades ahead.

MIT’s “2025 Global Change Outlook” finds the world on track to exceed key climate thresholds under current policies. Even as renewable energy expands rapidly, population growth, and the need for more energy, is expected to erode many of those gains.

In addition to fueling deadly heat waves that already kill over half a million people each year, rising global temperatures are projected to intensify extreme weather while making precipitation more erratic, increasing the risk of flooding and drought, and disrupting agricultural production worldwide. The outlook warns these shifts would also accelerate biodiversity loss.

The outlook is based on MIT’s Integrated Global Systems Model, which links population growth, economic activity, energy use, and international policy decisions to changes in the global climate. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change has described it as “a comprehensive tool built to analyze interactions among humans and the climate system.”

So, what we need to do is kill a shitload of you humans, stop the rest from using energy (except that used for climate computers), and live like it’s 1499. It’s all so tiring.

Meanwhile

Unsurprising: Moonbat Judges Won’t Let DOJ Hold Wacko Church Invaders

By William Teach January 24, 2026 – 10:30 am

On one hand, they aren’t violent

Judges Reject DOJ Request to Detain Leftist Protesters Accused of Invading Minnesota Church

surprise surprise surpriseTwo judges blocked requests from the Department of Justice (DOJ) to detain three of the leftist protesters accused of invading a Minnesota church.

According to NBC News, U.S. District Judge Laura M. Provinzino issued an order regarding Nekima Valdez Levy-Armstrong and Chauntyll Louisa Allen, while a “federal magistrate judge” ordered William Scott Kelly, another protester, be released.

Judge Provinzino claimed that DOJ lawyers did not “demonstrate that a detention hearing is warranted, or that detention is otherwise appropriate.”:

U.S. District Judge Laura M. Provinzino wrote in her order for two of the protesters, Nekima Valdez Levy-Armstrong and Chauntyll Louisa Allen, that Justice Department lawyers failed to “demonstrate that a detention hearing is warranted, or that detention is otherwise appropriate.”

The judge found the Trump administration offered “no factual or legal support” to support their contention that this was a “crime of violence.” The third protester, William Scott Kelly, was separately ordered released by a federal magistrate judge.

On the other hand, the Biden DOJ had no problem getting Democrat judges to keep those who were utterly and completely non-violent from the J6 protest, people who simply were present and/or walked quietly through the halls of Congress, The People’s House, after guards opened the doors, and left quietly. Why the difference? Because we all know that these same leftwing activists will go right back to their in your face “protesting”, doing the same stunts like they did with the church.

But, legally, yeah, they aren’t violent, and the law is the law, and this is, seemingly, the right legal call. Except when the Biden DOJ and left wing loon judges are involved and they need to throw Grandma Wendy from the Midwest in solitary.

This Winter Storm Is Not Natural Or Something

By William Teach January 24, 2026 – 7:00 am

They really can’t help themselves, and this probably doesn’t help calm them down

That caused a whole bunch of unhinged articles from the Credentialed Media.

Winter storm doesn’t disprove climate change, despite Trump’s claim. Scientists explain why.

It’s the same old same old, which gets repeated here

‘This is not natural’: VCU expert links climate change to intensifying Virginia winter storms

A Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) expert says climate change is intensifying winter storms ahead of this weekend’s snow and ice storm. (snip)

A VCU professor in the School of Life Sciences and Sustainability warns that climate change may be intensifying the system and increasing the risk of widespread power outages.

8News spoke with Vickie Connors, a professor with the VCU School of Life Sciences and Sustainability, about how warming in the Arctic is influencing winter weather patterns in Virginia.

Connors said rising temperatures in the Arctic are allowing more heat and moisture to enter the atmosphere, hurting circulation patterns that usually keep cold air contained near the North Pole. (snip)

“This is not natural,” Connors emphasized. “If we didn’t have this excess amount of gases, like CO2 and methane and in our atmosphere, we would be seeing a pretty respectable polar ice cap, and we would have snow pack that’s older than five years.”

Sigh.

Climate Change Won’t Make Winter Storms Less Deadly
In some ways, fossil fuels make snowstorms like the one currently bearing down on the U.S. even more dangerous.

The relationship between fossil fuels and severe weather is often presented as a cause-and-effect: Burning coal, oil, and gas for heat and energy forces carbon molecules into a reaction with oxygen in the air to form carbon dioxide, which in turn traps heat in the atmosphere and gradually warms our planet. That imbalance, in many cases, makes the weather more extreme.

But this relationship also goes the other way: We use fossil fuels to make ourselves more comfortable — and in some cases, keep us alive — during extreme weather events. Our dependence on oil and gas creates a grim ouroboros: As those events get more extreme, we need more fuel.

This weekend, some 200 million Americans will be cranking up the thermostats in their natural-gas-heated homes, firing up their propane generators, or hitting icy roads in their combustion-engine cars as a major winter storm brings record-low temperatures to 35 states, knocks out power, and grinds air travel to a halt.

See? You using fossil fuels makes winter more winter.

LOL: Minnesota Moonbats Go On “Strike” To Protect Illegal Aliens

By William Teach January 24, 2026 – 6:45 am

This is the type of stupid up there with the celebs singing that we’re all in this together to the tune of John Lennon’s “Imagine” and burning down their own neighborhoods post-George “Fentanyl” Floyd

‘Enough Is Enough’: Hundreds of Minnesota Businesses Take Stand Against ICE

A temperature of around minus 10 degrees on Friday did little to slow protests around the Twin Cities, with businesses closing, workers and students staying home, and demonstrators demanding that federal immigration agents depart.

The general strike across many businesses and industries was the most widespread protest since federal immigration agents arrived more than six weeks ago to conduct sweeps that have been cheered by some and sparked outrage in others.

“It’s tense and emotional, and folks are hurting,” said Bishop Dwayne Royster, the executive director of Faith in Action, which helped organize the effort. Minnesotans, he said, are demonstrating “deep resilience and willingness to stand together in ways I haven’t seen folks do in a very long time.”

It wasn’t just Minnesotans, however, on Friday who came out. Hundreds demonstrated at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport, some from as far away as New York, flitting in and out of one of its terminals, trying to stay warm.

How are folks hurting? Does arresting illegal alien rapists, murderers, and child molesters hurt them?

In neighborhoods around Minneapolis, many businesses and shops sat empty, with some posting signs in their windows expressing solidarity,

In St. Paul, Roots Roasting had an orange sign announcing their closure. “General strike,” it read. “No work, no school, no shopping, ICE out.”

Down the street, Spyhouse Coffee, part of a local chain, had a handwritten sign announcing its closure to “stand in solidarity with our community and other businesses.” The same was true for just about every coffee mainstay in the Twin Cities.

So, let me get this straight: the dipshits are protesting in favor of illegal aliens by not working, closing their own business, stopping commerce in a very liberal city? Who do they think they’re hurting? Do they understand they’re screwing themselves?

100 clergy arrested at airport protest as Minnesotans strike against ICE

Roughly 100 clergy were arrested without incident during a protest against deportation flights at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport on Friday, as an economic protest of the Trump administration’s immigration operations in Minnesota shuttered hundreds of businesses in the Twin Cities.

Organizers of the action, dubbed ICE Out of Minnesota: Day of Truth and Freedom, have called for residents to boycott work, school and shopping. The goal, said Ruth Kashmark, who closed her bar Friday to participate, is to demonstrate that “this is what the world’s going to look like if you take our hardworking neighbors away.”

These same clergy who are protecting illegal alien criminals certainly do not seem to stand up for Christian principles much. Would they do this to denounce abortion on demand?

Fans Who Made Girl Group Rich Upset They Act Like They’re Rich

By William Teach January 23, 2026 – 3:37 pm

I have no idea who this is, except I’m sure it involves a lot of autone in the studio and Memorex on stage

Girl group ignites backlash after recently surfaced photo unveils shocking activity: ‘This rubbed me the wrong way’

Enjoying the fruits of your labor is a perfectly natural reaction for anyone who has spent blood, sweat, and tears on a project. However, for critics of the girl group Katseye, seeing the musicians living it up aboard a private jet left a sour taste in their mouths.

In a social media post, Katseye member Manon Bannerman shared a picture of the group having fun on the luxury aircraft. It created quite a stir among one Reddit community as members pointed out the disparity of lifestyles between the pop stars and their fans.

“This is so pathetic. Fly commercial. This just shows the true gap between fans and these girls. These girls are so privileged it’s embarrassing for fans to even defend them,” the original poster wrote.

Privileged? They’re rich. And looking them up on Twitter you get exactly the kind of sexualizing themselves you’d expect.

“The average fan worldwide can barely even afford a commercial ticket or to attend one of their shows,” one person noted.

According to a report by the International Council on Clean Transportation, private jets are one of the leading causes of air pollution. Since they often carry a limited number of passengers, their fuel usage is a primary concern.

“Private jets are a surprisingly large source of air and climate pollution,” ICCT aviation fellow Daniel Sitompul said. “A typical private jet emits as many greenhouse gases each year as 177 passenger cars or nine heavy-duty highway trucks.”

And there it is. You didn’t think I’d be writing this unless it was climate scam related, did you?

FCC Says The Fairness Doctrine Should Be Instituted For Talk Shows

By William Teach January 23, 2026 – 10:30 am

I disagree with this, but, it is delicious in it’s irony

FCC says TV talk shows must offer equal time to political candidates

The Federal Communications Commission warned TV broadcasters Wednesday that daytime talk shows and late-night programs must give equal time to opposing political candidates.

The move addressed a genre of TV that President Trump has long argued is politically biased, leading to calls from the president to revoke broadcasters’ FCC licenses.

The announcement hinges on a decades-old federal law requiring any FCC-licensed broadcaster that lets a political candidate appear on its airwaves to also offer “equal opportunities” to all other candidates running for the same office. The law exempts “bona fide newscasts” and news interviews from the equal time rule.

In 2006, the FCC said the news exemption applied to an interview on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” meaning the late-night comedy show could feature then-California gubernatorial candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger on-air without also inviting his Democratic opponent.

But in a four-page notice on Wednesday, the FCC said it is “not the case” that all late-night and daytime entertainment shows are exempt. The regulator said it decides whether the exemption applies on a case-by-case basis, and it “has not been presented with any evidence” that interviews on those shows qualify for the news exemption.

The Fairness Doctrine itself was an FCC policy requiring broadcasters to present contrasting viewpoints on controversial issues of public importance, meaning they had to supply both sides of an issue. The rule was repealed in 1987 as it violated the 1st Amendment. Democrats seriously wanted to reinstate it during the late Clinton years, Bush 43 years, and Obama years, as a way to destroy Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, and other Conservatives on the radio. Moonbats wanted to force them to give equal time to Democrats as a way of getting their narrative out, especially on radio, because Democrats tended not to do well. Remember the Air America failure? Of course, Fox actually had way more Democrats on shows than any other network did. Remember when it was Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes?

It’s also part of the “public values test”, in which a license would be determined if the station was serving the “public interest.” Dems ran this up the flagpole during the Obama years, again, as a way to get rid of Conservative stations, TV and radio.

Democratic FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez sharply criticized the FCC’s announcement, calling it “an escalation in this FCC’s ongoing campaign to censor and control speech.” She also argued the notice was “misleading” since the FCC hasn’t formally changed any of its rules, a process that typically involves a public comment period and a vote by the commissioners.

“Broadcasters should not feel pressured to water down, sanitize, or avoid critical coverage out of fear of regulatory retaliation,” Gomez said in a statement. “Broadcast stations have a constitutional right to carry newsworthy content, even when that content is critical of those in power. That does not change today, it will not change tomorrow, and it will not change simply because of this Administration’s desire to silence its critics.”

In other words, Democrats should feel free to complete an utter partisans for the Democratic Party, spewing their moonbattery, being 98% one sided.

Those comments drew bipartisan criticism, with Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas arguing Carr overstepped and could set a bad precedent the next time there’s a Democratic president.

“I gotta say, that’s right out of ‘Goodfellas.’ That’s right out of a mafioso coming into a bar, going, ‘nice bar you have here, it’d be a shame if something happened to it,'” Cruz said of Carr’s remarks on Kimmel, mimicking a mob boss’s accent.

I did not like this when Democrats pushed it and I’d be against it now. But, the precedent has been set, and it would be fun if Republicans would push this simply to troll Democrats. Even if Republicans said they were trolling the Democrats would still moonbat-out. Let’s not forget a big part of the Obama-era Net Neutrality was an attempt to control what is on the Internet to limit Conservative reach. If late night “talk” shows want to be all Dem, let them. If the networks want to lose tens of millions a year, that’s on them.

Here We Go: CNN Claims ‘Climate Change’ May Have Made Coming Winter Store More Likely

By William Teach January 23, 2026 – 7:15 am

This was certainly inevitable from the cult, right?

How this brutal winter storm is even possible with climate change – and maybe even more likely

The frigid temperatures, massive snow and deadly ice storm taking shape east of the Rockies might seem to conflict with life on a rapidly warming planet. But all of these things still happen, even with climate change, and some of them could be even more severe than before when the conditions are right. (big snip)

Other experts point to the winter storm and particularly the Arctic cold that will follow in its wake and note that climate change may itself be playing a role in instigating them. Jennifer Francis, a researcher at the Woodwell Climate Research Center who has studied changes in the polar vortex as the world warms, said she’s seeing evidence in this storm.

“Even though global warming is causing warmer winters overall, severe winter weather events are still possible — and perhaps even more likely — because warming is not the only consequence of human-caused climate change,” she said. “Other ingredients that set the stage for severe winter weather are on the rise, and many of them are in play this week.”

This is what a doomsday cult says. No matter the weather it gets blamed on Other People driving fossil fueled vehicles. Even massive winter storms.

Arctic Blast To Wallop N. America — Is Climate Change To Blame?

An unusually brutal winter storm is set to pummel more than 160 million Americans from Friday, as a stretched “polar vortex” sends a devastating blast of Arctic air, bringing heavy snows and freezing rains.

Winter Storm Fern is forecast to engulf an area well over half the length of the continental United States, stretching from Texas and the Great Plains region to the mid-Atlantic and northeastern states.

Scientists say the increasing frequency of such disruptions of the polar vortex may be linked to climate change, though the debate is not yet settled and natural variability also plays a role.

Nutters.
