Well, it dropped a little late, but the second video is here. YouTuber-turned-investigative reporter Nick Shirley dropped his second video, albeit much later than his initial deadline yesterday. Still, it was worth the wait, with many noting that usually sequels are not as good as the original—not this time.[snip] This latest video featuring Shirley and Hoch delved into welfare fraud.[snip]medical transportation companies, where these Somali-led operations are being paid for vehicles that are supposed to be ferrying patients but are instead sitting idle in lots.[snip] estimated that around $6 million was ferried through the airport per week between 2016 and 2021.
Trump advisor Stephen Miller appeared on Fox News, and he reminded the men and women of ICE that the administration had their back, no matter how much Democrat politicians and leftist agitators tried to attack them. (Snip) At this point, Democrats are completely off the rails. We've already seen some of the crazy comments from people like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
But I guess Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08) wanted to try to challenge them for the worst possible take. This is truly insane. Democrats have lost their minds.
Here in California, billionaires are under attack as the Democrats are pushing a referendum that would levy a 5 percent wealth tax on unrealized gains and other assets of these very rich people in the Golden State. In Washington, DC, Donald Trump is telling big financial corporations that he’s going to limit their credit card interest rates to just 10 percent instead of the 20 percent or 30 percent they’ve been charging their customers. On the one hand, these are terrible economic policies. They are the opposite of classical conservatism. It’s ridiculous to tax unrealized gains
The Left thinks they're above the law, and Democrats in D.C. and elsewhere have encouraged their voters to take to the streets to resist ICE, often violently, as we're seeing in Minneapolis. The violence led to the death of Renee Good, who hit an ICE agent with her vehicle after stalking the law enforcement officers for most of the day, and a shooting last night. (Snip) That's a lesson Jennifer Cruz of Jacksonville is discovering. She decided to FA, and now she's FO. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier posted a pic of Cruz being arrested after she decided to exit her vehicle and punch a Trooper in the face.
Oh no. Somebody call a therapist, a spokesperson, and maybe a safe space — wittle Zohran got so mad.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is in full-blown fury mode because federal immigration authorities committed the ultimate sin in progressive politics: they enforced the law. Calmly. Quietly. Professionally. Without asking permission from City Hall or consulting the feelings of the mayor first.
The offense? A New York City Council employee — unlawfully present in the United States — was detained by federal authorities during a routine immigration appointment. Not a raid. Not a sweep. Not a door kicked in at dawn. A routine appointment.
When firefighters arrive at a fire, they don't carry cans of gasoline. Their job demands judgment, timing, and courage. Anyone adding fuel while claiming to quickly calm fires reveals their priorities.
Thanks to the ACLU's branch in Minnesota, Minnesota now faces that moment.
A Lawsuit at the Worst Possible Time
The ACLU of Minnesota filed a lawsuit to stop ICE from arresting Somali and Hispanic illegal aliens living in the state.
Their idea is to target cooperation between local authorities and federal immigration agents, saying any arrests violate constitutional protections.
You know, for those fine, peaceful people who aren't supposed to be here.
Their timing couldn't be worse.
Minneapolis has turned into a powder keg
President Donald Trump has once again threatened to bust out the Insurrection Act, to quell the violent, organized mob actions against federal law enforcement in blue cities, abetted by the TDS-riddled despots in their "sanctuary" fiefdoms who imagine they are more powerful than the federal government. The situation is making it impossible for the government to go about its business, enforcing the law.
Even last October, Trump claimed he was free to invoke the act if activist courts continued to stymy his efforts to send the National Guard to recalcitrant cities. "Everybody agrees you're allowed to use that, and there is no more court cases, there is no more anything,"
The communists were hoping that the rightful shooting of Nicole Good, the annoying, Marxist-trained apparatchik who thought she'd drive her vehicle at an ICE agent in Minneapolis (resulting in a bullet or three to the noodle), would inspire a George Floyd-like, nationwide assault on our peaceful society, led by young pinkos eager to topple the United States.
But that didn't happen.
FACT-O-RAMA! A BLM scavenger did show up and pretended to be angry about... something, and demanded money for....something, but thus far, many of the agitators are doddery, white "wrinkle-Americans."
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt held a press briefing on Wednesday afternoon, and she was on fire, especially when it came to answering one "journalist" from The Hill. Let's just say he had a question about U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, but he kind of already had the answers — or, at least, his version of them — prepared in his head, and Leavitt didn't let it go.
Leavitt called on Niall Stanage, who asked: "Earlier, you were just defending ICE agents generally....Secretary [Kristi] Noem spoke to the media and she said, among other things, that they are doing everything correctly —

His Campaign for the Midterms Starts February 1
On Feb. 24, 2026, President Donald J. Trump will stand before the Senate, Congress, the judiciary, and the American people to deliver his State of the Union Address, and already, it will be epic. Try as they might to create distractions, the Democrats in the building will not be able to diminish all that the Trump administration has accomplished in the first year of Trump’s second term.
The sad thing is that Trump isn’t getting proper credit. According to an AP-NORC poll, roughly 4 in 10 U.S. adults approve of Trump’s performance.
It's no understatement to say that the 2006 documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" changed the direction of public policy. And in fact, that's exactly what failed presidential candidate Al Gore intended the film to do. Fortunately for him, he found a willing audience of Hollywood celebrities and left-wing media outlets to uncritically promote his ideology and activism.
Unfortunately for him, 2006 is now far enough in the past that we can test some of the predictions, claims, and statements of fact he makes in that film. So that's exactly what we did.
What is it about failed governors that convinces Democrats they should lead the nation?
Mark Halperin released his January installment of his “8 for ’28” Democratic nomination rankings, and California Gov. Gavin Newsom remains at the top of the list. Remarkably, another failed governor — Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker — made the biggest jump in the rankings and now sits at No. 4. The third member of that trifecta of America’s worst governors, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, almost became vice president, which would have made him a heartbeat away from the presidency. With Newsom still at No. 1 for 2028, it’s instructive to look at what other lists he tops.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani's controversial pick for tenant advocate, Cea Weaver, once admitted that pushing for rent control was just the "first step" in her plan to destroy the free housing market and move toward "full social housing."
Videos of Weaver's past statements have gone viral on social media since Mamdani chose the 37-year-old to lead the city's Office to Protect Tenants.
"We decided that fighting for rent control was a strategic and critical first step in the fight for full social housing," she said in a newly surfaced clip. “So, a lot of times people ask, ‘Why are we fighting for rent control when we have NYCHA?
President Donald Trump threatened to take matters into his own hands if Minnesota Democrats don’t take action against violent protesters wreaking havoc on federal law enforcement. (snip) Video footage caught violent mobs in Minnesota destroying an ICE vehicle. Other footage shows rioters looting federal vehicles, stealing equipment and other items inside.
In response to the increased ICE presence, Minnesota officials, joined by Minneapolis and St. Paul leaders, have sued to keep ICE out of the state. Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, both Democrats, have demanded agents leave.
The screaming woman who was filmed being pulled from her car by ICE agents in Minneapolis has been identified as a tech guru and LGBT and racial justice activist who describes herself as a “friendly neighborhood deniable asset.” Aliya Rahman, a software engineer with a lengthy background in coding, has backed policies for police-worn body cameras and also has prior ties to multiple advocacy groups, including a decade-long history with the Black Lives Matter movement. Rahman was thrown into the spotlight after viral footage showed federal agents breaking her car window and yanking her out on Tuesday after she apparently
Immigration and Customs Enforcement deputy director Madison Sheahan is resigning to run for Congress as a Republican in an Ohio district that’s been a Democratic stronghold since 1983, The Post can confirm.
Sheahan launched her campaign challenging Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio) on Thursday with a video announcement touting her service as an ICE official and work on her family’s horse farm.
Ohio’s 9th District, which stretches across the northwestern corner of the Buckeye State and includes the city of Toledo, has re-elected Kaptur every two years since her first run for the House in 1982, even as the state has shifted right over the past decade.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz have been digging themselves a big hole that they may not be able to get out of with their encouragement of anti-ICE action.
They now have President Donald Trump talking about the Insurrection Act, and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche warning the two of them that he's going to hold them accountable for their actions as the anti-ICE violence in Minnesota gets worse. Frey did tell the rioters on Wednesday night to go home - after they'd already been whipped up. That's a bit like closing the barn after the horse has already bolted.

An audit has exposed that yet another blue state way overpaid thousands of citizens, including potential identity thieves, in a financial blow to the state’s already foundering budget. With the Somali fraud scandal and the SNAP welfare scandal still making headlines, the new unemployment debacle in Maryland is just one more proof of gross mismanagement of taxpayer funds at the state level. While there is fraud in Republican states, it is particularly bad in Democrat states, because politicians there actively cover up or are complicit in fraud. In this case, with Maryland, it is not clear if dishonesty or plain stupidity is to blame,
Nick Shirley’s latest video shows him visiting several addresses in Minneapolis that supposedly provide taxpayer-funded taxi services for poor and unhealthy people.
The ethnic Somalis that he meets at the sites respond by yelling at him, but do not try to offer any evidence that their taxpayer-funded groups are providing any services to Americans.
Shirley’s exposures have compelled local pro-Democrat journalists to acknowledge and describe the fraud that they have long overlooked. That silence was likely forced by career-threatening pressure from the Democratic politicians and activists who gain from the Somali-managed fraud.
The latest video focuses on the Somali-run companies that are paid to taxi poor or unhealthy people to and from
Everything's coming together for mining in Alaska.
If you've been reading my work for any length of time, you'll be aware of how much I love Alaska. I am in the habit of describing the Great Land with four words: Vast, clean, wild, and free. But Alaska is also loaded with resources, and what's more, Alaska is big enough that we can have our cake and eat it, too; the amount of land taken up by mining and oil/gas development is tiny set against the vastness of this great state.
And now, in part due to the Trump administration's push to open up this treasure chest, mining is poised to make a
In an interview with Reuters, President Trump was asked why the Russia/Ukraine negotiations appear to have stalled. President Trump responded with one word, “Zelenskyy.”
WASHINGTON, Jan 14 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump told Reuters that Ukraine – not Russia – is holding up a potential peace deal, rhetoric that stands in marked contrast to that of European allies, who have consistently argued Moscow has little interest in ending its war in Ukraine.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) on Thursday announced the withdrawal of four Chinese testing laboratories to protect American families, Breitbart News has learned exclusively.
Under the Consumer Product Safety Act, manufacturers and importers have to certify that their products comply with American safety standards to be sold in the country. Children’s products must especially be tested by a CPSC-accepted third-party laboratory.
Peter Feldman, the chair of the CPSC, spoke about the need to cancel the accreditation of four Chinese labs, which include:

over island’s future replies
NUUK, Greenland — Troops from several European countries continued to arrive in Greenland on Thursday in a show of support for Denmark as talks between representatives of Denmark, Greenland and the U.S. highlighted “fundamental disagreement” over the future of the Arctic island.
Denmark announced it would increase its military presence in Greenland on Wednesday as foreign ministers from Denmark and Greenland were preparing to meet with White House representatives in Washington. Several European partners — including France, Germany, the U.K., Norway, Sweden and the Netherlands — started sending symbolic numbers of troops already on Wednesday or promised to do so in the following days.
President Donald Trump's push to seize Greenland might be the least popular idea in American political history.
Is that hyperbole? If so, that's only because reliable and fast public polling is a relatively recent development within our 250-year experiment in self-governance.
A Reuters/Ipsos poll released Wednesday found a staggering 4 percent of Americans favor the idea of seizing Greenland with military force. Among Republicans, the idea is actually twice as popular: 8 percent say taking the island is a "good idea."
Reports circulating on social media alleging sexual assault, excessive force and kidnapping of U.S. citizens by federal immigration agents during recent enforcement operations in the Twin Cities gained widespread attention this week. But the Department of Homeland Security is pushing back on those claims and saying they don't withstand a review of the facts. In one case, cellphone video captured agents escorting a detainee into a portable toilet during an arrest in Minneapolis. TikTok activists immediately implied it was a sexual assault (snip.)
Tiffany Burress, the wife of former New York Giants star Plaxico Burress, announced a Republican bid Tuesday for a North Jersey congressional seat long held by Democrats.
Tiffany Burress announced her run Tuesday, contrasting her work in the private sector to Rep. Nellie Pou’s public office resume.
Her husband memorably caught the 2008 Super Bowl’s game-winning touchdown to snuff out the New England Patriots’ 2007 undefeated regular season and finished his Giants career with 4,086 receiving yards.
Tiffany Burress, a Pittsburgh native, serves on the Workers’ Comp committee of the New Jersey State Bar Association, has been recognized as one of Bergen County’s “top attorneys” and was a collegiate athlete
Governor Tim Walz encouraged Minnesota residents to carry their phones at all times to record federal immigration actions, promising during a statewide address on Wednesday night that "accountability is coming" for abuses by Federal officers. Help us create a database of the atrocities against Minnesotans, not just to establish a record for posterity, but to bank evidence for future prosecution" (snip.) "News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos and disruption and trauma the federal government is raining down upon our communities," Walz said.
Sometimes, we wish the never-Trumpers of the world could settle on the reason they think Donald Trump is an existential threat to the nation.
Up until a few weeks ago, the threat he posed, we were told, was that he was an isolationist.
As pathological Trump-hater Max Boot repeatedly said, the world needs U.S. leadership, and Trump’s isolationalism was threatening peace and stability around the globe.
Boot was hardly the only one.
The Center for American Progress – as recently as April – warned that Trump’s “self-imposed isolation only makes it harder
As Minneapolis police failed to respond to violent unrest Wednesday night, rioters smashed into ICE vehicles, ripped out weapons lockers, and — according to video posted online — made off with a rifle and ammunition before fleeing the scene. The video shows the tattooed face of a man making off with what appears to be a rifle case removed from the vehicle.
Rioters took to the streets with impunity Wednesday night after the second officer-involved shooting in Minneapolis in the past week. A federal law enforcement officer was forced to shoot an illegal alien from Venezuela after he allegedly violently assaulted an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer attempting
President Trump on Thursday threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act against Minnesota if the state declines to stop rioters from attacking Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.
Under the Insurrection Act, the president can deploy the military and federalize the National Guard in response to civil disorder or an armed rebellion against the US government.
“If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT, which many Presidents have done before me,” Trump warned on Truth Social.

"It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." ~ Samuel Adams
In case you haven’t noticed, there is currently a “rather irate, tireless minority keen on setting brushfires of communist tyranny” who are making a tremendous amount of noise. This minority is seriously focused on disrupting United States federal agents who are simply doing their job. These evil agents of tyranny are using the principal of which Adams speaks to do harm to the United States of America. The key players in this noise making are paid activists who employ the uninformed useful idiots
Fox News host Griff Jenkins told Democratic Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey point-blank on Wednesday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are in his city to detain illegal immigrant criminals.
Frey called on ICE to “get the f*** out” of Minneapolis in the aftermath of Renee Good’s death, who was shot by an ICE agent after she appeared to accelerate her car toward the officer during an enforcement operation.
Jenkins and Frey sparred on “Fox & Friends” while the host noted that ICE operations have ramped up across the U.S. to arrest illegal immigrants who crossed the border during former President Joe Biden’s administration.
“Mr. Mayor, you ask ICE to get the
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) urged U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials to “round up all” of the criminal illegal aliens.
During an interview on Fox News Channel’s The Will Cain Show, Fetterman spoke about the recent shooting in Minneapolis, where Renee Good was fatally shot by an ICE agent. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has claimed that Good “weaponized her vehicle” against ICE agents who were trying to get their vehicle unstuck.
“Round up all the criminals,” Fetterman said. “Deport them. They shouldn’t have ever been here, and they definitely have to go.”
While Fetterman expressed that the incident is “a tragedy,” he pointed out that it is “very clear”
The Supreme Court held Wednesday that candidates for office can challenge rules governing elections in court.
In a 7-2 decision, the majority held that Republican Illinois Rep. Michael Bost has standing to challenge state rules that allow mail-in ballots to be counted up to 14 days after Election Day.
“Candidates have a concrete and particularized interest in the rules that govern the counting of votes in their elections, regardless whether those rules harm their electoral prospects or increase the cost of their campaigns,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the majority opinion.
“Their interest extends to the integrity of the election — and the democratic process by which they earn or lose the
Multiple reports out of Minneapolis indicate that leftist rioters in the city are revealing the names and locations of federal law enforcement agents on livestreams using documents recovered from looted vehicles.
The reports came after the Department of Homeland Security says one of agents shot a Venezuelan immigrant in the leg after he fled a targeted traffic stop and proceeded to attack the officer, NBC News noted.
The move also comes after a week of unrest following the death of Renee Good, a woman who was shot after she ran her SUV into an ICE agent during a confrontation with officials during immigration enforcement operations in the city.
Happy Thursday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) I came of age politically just as Ronald Reagan was elected president. That kind of thing can give a young conservative a false sense of optimism about the future. Reagan was so much larger than life that he made the whole Republican Party seem stronger for a while. "Seem" is the operative word there. As I was to be reminded repeatedly after Reagan left office, Republicans in Washington all too often behaved like a gathering of jellyfish.
It was almost understandable when the Democrats were in the majority in both the Senate and House. In the ensuing post-Reagan decades, however,
Former vice president Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff purchased an $8 million mansion in an exclusive oceanside Malibu neighborhood last month. The move came after Harris spent years warning that such communities could be threatened by the "climate crisis."
A real estate listing for the mansion, reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, says the luxury pad is "perched in a prime coastal location" with "breathtaking ocean views." The property sits right near a coastline that—according to climate scenarios endorsed by Harris—is at risk of facing extreme flooding. A climate model issued by the Biden-Harris administration determined that Point Dume State Beach, the beach a short walk
Let’s pretend you are a liberal living in a red state. If you feel aggrieved about the condition of the world and believe that conservatives are to blame, you can find a few like-minded souls, print up some signs covered in half-clever phrases, and go protest. In most cases, unless you chain yourself to a railing on the courthouse steps or attack the police, you will usually be ignored.
On the flip side, let’s pretend you are a conservative living in a deep blue state. If you don’t like the school policy, E.V. mandates, high electricity prices, or restrictive gun laws, and you dare to complain,
The whining of Jacob Frey
replies
inneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey launched a lawsuit against the Trump administration for its faithful enforcement of U.S. immigration law, whining loudly that his city was being unfairly targeted because it was run by Democrats while other cities had higher numbers of illegal aliens. He was scored for it, of course, and just found new way to embarrass his city.
According to the Washington Examiner's editorial page:
During his press conference announcing a suit brought by Minneapolis against the Department of Homeland Security, Mayor Jacob Frey questioned why thousands of immigration enforcement personnel, including agents from both Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol, have been sent to his jurisdiction.
Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson managed to completely butcher the English language, leading to widespread mockery online.
As CBS reported, the Supreme Court heard arguments on Tuesday on whether laws from Idaho and West Virginia that ban biological males from playing in girls’ and women’s sports violate the Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection and the landmark law known as Title IX.
Two bio males, Lindsay Hecox of Idaho and Becky Pepper-Jackson of West Virginia, sued their respective states, claiming they discriminate based on sex and transgender status. They claim the states’ laws ban every ‘transgender’ female from school sports, and treat them worse than others.
This is, of course, not true.
After years of Washington politicians lining the pockets of insurance companies and anointing them “essential partners,” President Trump has called out the insurance monopoly for what it is. “Let the money go not to the big fat cats and the insurance companies that made 1,700 percent over a short period of time,” President Trump said.
“Let the money go directly to the people, where they can buy their own health care.”
The big health insurance companies that have gorged themselves at the Obamacare trough are finally being put under the spotlight and held to account.
Timmy Macklin, father-in-law of Renee Good, said he doesn’t blame Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for her death. Macklin called the shooting of his former daughter-in-law a “hard situation all around” and said that “some bad choices” were made, during an interview with CNN on Tuesday.
“I don’t blame ICE. I don’t blame [Good’s wife] Rebecca. I don’t blame Renee,” he told Erin Burnett. “I just wish that, you know, if we’re walking in the spirit of God, I don’t think she would have been there.
An illegal Venezuelan migrant was shot in the leg by a federal immigration agent in Minneapolis after he allegedly fled during a traffic stop and beat the “ambushed” officer with a snow shovel Wednesday evening, the Department of Homeland Security said.
The suspect was behind the wheel when he tried to get away from federal immigration officers at around 6:50 p.m. local time, but he crashed into a parked car, according to DHS.
The migrant then tried to escape on foot and “violently assault[ed] the officer” as the two wrestled on the ground, according to an X post from the agency.
