Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has advised Don Lemon that the federal criminal statutes bearing on the riot disrupting Sunday’s service at Cities Church in St. Paul don’t apply to the rioters’ misconduct. “People have a right to lift up their voices and make their peace. None of us are immune from the voice of the public,” according to Ellison. “Quite honestly, I think you’ve got the First Amendment freedom of religion and the First Amendment freedom of expression, and I think that, you know, it’s just something you’ve got to live with in a society like this.” Ellison to the contrary notwithstanding, two federal criminal statutes

If the protesters had stayed outside, no matter how loud or disruptive they were, they would have been within their rights. Barging inside and disrupting a religious service: big problem. But with all of the activist judges we have, I don't imagine any of them will serve much, if any, jail time. I would love to see Don Lemon behind bars, but I'm sure he would wear it as a badge if honor.

Maybe we should get a group to invade a mosque and see if Ellison's reaction is the same. 0% chance. Plus, barging in there in actuality wouldn't be disrupting a religious service, but I am sure some loony Democrat appointed judges would disagree.

Lemon has freedom of religion but the people trying to conduct a church service do not? Ellison and Lemon both need to be locked up.

Karine Jean-Pierre. Remember her? In 2022, Jean-Pierre made history as the first openly gay black female lesbian of color to serve as White House press secretary. Journalists and other Democrats squealed with joy. In 2025, Jean-Pierre announced she was leaving the Democratic Party to become an independent, primarily as a means of expressing solidarity with Hamas. She wrote a memoir defending Joe Biden's zombie reelection campaign. It was so bad that it forced Democrats to abandon their faith in DEI. They could finally admit that Republicans were right. Former colleagues rushed to denounce Jean-Pierre as "incompetent," "ineffectual," and "unprepared." The Washington Post charitably described her as a "devoted apparatchik" with

Minnesota attorney general Keith Ellison (D.) defended the group of anti-ICE agitators who stormed a St. Paul church on Sunday, telling former CNN host Don Lemon—who accompanied the agitators and boasted of conducting "reconnaissance" ahead of the stunt—that critics of the incident were "getting tender about a church service." Ellison appeared on Lemon's YouTube show on Monday to discuss the protest, in which Lemon accompanied Minneapolis attorney Nekima Levy Armstrong, St. Paul school board member Chauntyll Allen, and other activists on "Operation Pull Up," the Washington Free Beacon reported. The group disrupted services at Cities Church in St. Paul based on the belief that a pastor there works for ICE,

Disgraced former CNN host Don Lemon colluded with anti-ICE activists now under investigation for storming a Minnesota church on Sunday—a "clandestine" operation that Lemon helped keep secret ahead of time before publicizing it once it began. Lemon, who was fired from CNN in 2023 over mistreatment of female colleagues, accompanied Minneapolis lawyer Nekima Levy Armstrong on "Operation Pull Up" at Cities Church in Saint Paul to protest the ICE shooting earlier this month of 37-year-old Renee Good. According to Armstrong, the operation targeted Cities Church because an associate pastor is allegedly the acting director of Saint Paul’s ICE office. "We show up somewhere that is a key location," Armstrong told Lemon

Once again, I’m going to bite my tongue because I have respect for Professor Jacobson. But my goodness, I want to go off on Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison. As we all know, Don Lemon and an anti-ICE mob ambushed a church in Minneapolis. Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Harmeet Dhillon suggested Don Lemon and the anti-ICE mob could face charges under the KKK Act. Ellison? Well, he had a message for Christians: Deal with it. To make it better, Ellison said this on Lemon’s podcast. Thank you, Teri Christoph, for transcribing: The protest is fundamental to American society. This country started in a protest. It’s freedom of expression.

The Department of Justice has announced that they will be arresting Don Lemon and open investigations into the storming of Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. (X) Lemon will reportedly be arrested by the Trump administration under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act and the Ku Klux Klan Act. “The Klan Act is one of the most important federal civil rights statutes,” said Civil Rights Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon on The Benny Johnson Show.

Eric Swalwell's political ambitions just hit a major snag. Swalwell, most famous for public flatulence and bedding a Chinese spy, wants to be the next governor of California, but he is now the target of a court challenge that could blow his entire gubernatorial campaign out of the water before it even gets started. The accusation? He doesn't actually live in the state he wants to govern. Conservative activist and filmmaker Joel Gilbert dropped a legal bomb on January 8, filing a petition in Sacramento Superior Court arguing that Swalwell is constitutionally barred from seeking the governor's office. Gilbert has a strong case.

The Justice Department has put Don Lemon on notice. The disgraced former CNN anchor could face serious federal charges for his role in storming a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota, where he joined a far-left mob hunting for a pro-ICE pastor while live-streaming the chaos. Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon told conservative podcaster Benny Johnson that federal prosecutors are exploring multiple avenues to bring charges against those involved in the church invasion. "We will pursue charges in this case. I see various crimes that have occurred," Dhillon said. "Exactly what they are, I'm not gonna flag, but the FACE Act has

Two days ago, Sally Zelikovsky brought to my attention a show I’d never heard of—Landman—and a scene in that show that quickly became famous. The show is about oilmen and their families in the West Texas oilfields. The scene is about a beautiful, blonde, feminine Texas woman who goes off to college and finds herself confronted by her new roommate: a smug, humorless, self-centered, non-binary, pronoun-obsessed little dictator. Both the scene and the actress playing the feminine woman who challenges pronoun madness have gotten a bit of criticism on social media, which MAGA people seem to have played up for effect. Thus, I can find the

Happy Monday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends.

One of the greatest upsides to writing about politics is that I can vent my frustrations with the lunatic left and enjoy myself while doing so.

Good morning. (Snip) First, the premise: You are not going to have a country for long when you’re actively protecting the people who are invading it and destroying it. There are only two possible answers as to why those invaders and destroyers are being protected. Either their protectors are lacking the brainpower required to come to that conclusion, or else they do understand, and destroying the country is their goal. There is one other option that is more sinister, however, and we'll get to that shortly. Just so we understand which of the first two is which, let’s consider a couple quotes: Trump: We will walk peacefully and patriotically

Democrat Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina appeared on ‘The View’ on Monday and claimed that Republicans are trying to bring back slavery. This is not only insane and untrue, it’s a complete perversion of history. The Republican Party was founded to end slavery in the United States. Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican president, who fought the Democrats on the issue of slavery, which escalated into the American Civil War. Democrats do this all the time. In 2012, Joe Biden famously said to a mostly black audience that Republicans want to ‘put y’all back in chains.’ Clyburn knows better than this. They all do.

The overwhelming majority of households headed by Afghan immigrants with children in the home are on one or more forms of taxpayer-funded welfare in the United States, newly released analysis reveals. The analysis, published by Jason Richwine at the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), reviews Census Bureau data on Afghan immigrants in the U.S. — an immigrant group that has exploded from just 22,000 in 1990 to almost a quarter of a million as of 2024. Most significantly, the Census data shows that almost all Afghan households with children are on publicly funded welfare — similar to that of Somali immigrant households with children in Minnesota, where 81 percent

That is to say, social media has been all over his participation, but the conventional media apparatus has been notably muted in addressing what went on Sunday. This event could turn out to be a crucial fulcrum in the way the nation is headed.

Less than 48 hours after Democrat Abigail Spanberger was sworn in as Virginia governor on Saturday, her leftist comrades pushed a slew of new laws aimed at raising taxes, enabling stolen elections, and elevating the welfare of illegal aliens over the safety of U.S. citizens. If all the proposed legislation pass, Virginia will devolve into a crime-infested, overtaxed cesspool riddled with criminals and illegal aliens. But perhaps that’s the precisely Democrats’ goal. Among the most chilling proposals was reducing the criminal penalties for robbery. What better way to embolden more theft?
