The Week In Pictures: Ice Ice Baby Edition

Minnesota can’t seem to get out of the news. Once a placid backwater, the state has now become synonymous with bats**t crazy. ICE came to town, and it brought left-wingers, both native Minnesotans and paid professionals, out in force. Things went from bad to worse, and a leftist mob invaded a church on Sunday morning, disrupting services. The mob was led by, among others, former CNN talking head Don Lemon. The Department of Justice, outraged, is pursuing criminal charges against some of the ringleaders. Ice came to town in a more literal way, too: the high temperature today was -11, the low -22.

On the Ground in Minneapolis

The entire establishment in Minnesota has mobilized against ICE’s presence here. Renee Good, who ran her vehicle into an ICE officer, apparently on purpose although we will never know for sure what she was thinking, is treated like a second Joan of Arc. Meanwhile, the local, national and international “news” media consistently lie about the men and women of ICE, smearing them as fascist predators.
A classic instance is the five year old boy whom ICE officers saved from possibly freezing to death after his father abandoned him, whereupon the international press falsely alleged that they had “arrested” or “kidnapped” or “detained” the little boy, or “used him as bait.”
Florida State Attorney Monique Worrell is under fire these days for a decision she made several years ago that has come back to haunt her. Back in 2021, a man opened fire in a Wawa gas station parking lot in Kissimmee, shooting at one individual and several vehicles, totally at random. He was duly charged with attempted murder, but was found not guilty by reason of insanity. Now, however, he has murdered three people in another random attack, and Worrell’s actions on the first charge are gaining her some unwanted attention.
Central Florida’s WESH 2 made it clear Thursday that Worrell was very much on the defensive
A nurse who hoped that Donald Trump‘s White House press secretary would suffer a severe injury during childbirth is no longer employed. This is good news, because someone who wishes grave harm on political opponents should not be treating mothers and babies.
There is a difference that not even all conservatives understand between free speech and explicitly wishing harm or terror on someone. Even the Founders were in agreement that calling for someone’s death or crippling injury is not, in fact, First Amendment-protected speech. And in the case of a nurse, this is particularly relevant if she fantasizes about medical catastrophe

WASHINGTON -- Ryan Wedding, a former Olympic snowboarder from Canada who was among the FBI's top fugitives and faces charges related to multinational drug trafficking and the killing of a federal witness, has been arrested in Mexico, top Justice Department officials said Friday.
Wedding, 44, is accused of running a drug trafficking operation, and officials say he orchestrated several killings to further the drug crimes. He was on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list, and authorities had offered a $15 million reward for information leading to his arrest and conviction.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI director Kash Patel confirmed Wedding's arrest in social media posts. Patel said Wedding
William Kelly, one of the anti-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agitators who disrupted a service at Cities Church in Saint Paul, Minn., on Sunday, has been arrested.
"A THIRD subject has now been arrested connected to targeting Cities Church in Minneapolis Sunday. William Kelly is now in custody," FBI Director Kash Patel declared in a Thursday post on X.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem noted in a post, "William Kelly is being charged with conspiracy to deprive rights, a federal crime, for his involvement in the St. Paul church riots. "William Kelly is now in custody," U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi noted in a Thursday post on X.
The private sector is built on merit and legitimate contribution, so it goes without saying that people without such things have no place in that type of economy. But, fear not, for the government is always there, ready to hand out taxpayer-subsidized jobs to those who could never earn an income where brains and skill actually matter. (Bonus points if the unhirable loser is a third world foreigner who hates the host nation and its people.)

In June 2019 I obtained the Minnesota Campaign Finance Board’s investigative file on Ilhan Omar’s infractions in her 2016 race for a seat in the state House of Representatives. Inside the file was a trove of documents bearing on Omar’s marriage to her brother and my own role in exposing it in August 2016.
I wrote about the documents in a series I called “From the mixed-up files of Rep. Ilhan Omar.” I hoped the series might embarrass the Star Tribune into covering the documents. I won’t claim credit for the story by reporters Patrick Coolican and Stephen Montemayor, but they got around to it in “New documents revisit questions about
The anti-ICE crew is completely out of control at this point, trying to stop the enforcement of the law.
We've seen them do a lot of vile and disgusting things, from disrupting a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota, to launching racist invective at a black ICE agent because they thought they were better than him. It's crazy that ICE agents and other federal agents helping to enforce immigration laws have to put up with this mania and obstruction.
But it looks like folks who are anti-anti-ICE may be getting creative, as revealed in a post from Blue Lives Matter.
This may be one of the greatest posts ever
Vice President JD Vance is heading to Minneapolis on Thursday, set to deliver a powerful message of "unwavering support" for ICE agents amid escalating tensions provoked by leftists trying to impede law enforcement from detaining criminals.
Vance, according to a release from the Office of the Vice President, plans to hold a roundtable with local leaders, meet directly with ICE personnel, and deliver remarks on restoring law and order in the City of Lakes.
Axios reports that, perhaps to the chagrin of those local leaders—some of whom, like Gov. Tim Walz (D) and Mayor Jacob Frey (D), themselves face subpoenas for allegedly interfering with federal operations—Vance is "not planning any peace offerings
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was heckled by former Vice President Al Gore during a World Economic Forum (WEF) event in Davos, Switzerland on Tuesday, according to news coverage.
Gore booed Lutnick while the Commerce secretary was giving a speech at an invite-only dinner event hosted by BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, Mediaite reported on Wednesday. The report comes after Lutnick criticized Europe during his remarks, which prompted European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde to suddenly leave the dinner event, multiple outlets reported.
“I sat and listened to his remarks,” Gore said Wednesday in a statement provided to Mediaite. “I didn’t interrupt him in any way. It’s no secret that I think this

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

California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Friday that the Golden State will remain a part of the World Health Organization's network, even though the Trump administration just completed the United States' withdrawal from the WHO.
Newsom made the announcement after meeting with WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, this week.
The governor said California is now the first and only state to join WHO's Global Outbreak Alert & Response Network, which is tasked with rapidly detecting, verifying, assessing, and responding to emerging public health threats.
Iran claimed this week to have successfully tested its first long-range intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), a capability that would enable Tehran to strike the eastern seaboard of the United States, according to regime-controlled outlets.
The regime purportedly conducted its missile launch from an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps base in the city of Semnan, firing toward Siberia with the approval of the Russian government. The missile would have traveled up to 3,700 miles to reach its target, though video of the supposed launch only shows an airborne projectile soaring through the clouds. The footage was initially posted on social media on Monday by an Iranian professor and subsequently amplified
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes wildly suggested that residents can open fire on masked ICE agents if they feel their life is in danger under the state’s self-defense laws.
The Democrat, in a sit-down with 12 News anchor Brahm Resnik, warned that Arizona’s “Stand Your Ground” law, which allows citizens to use deadly force if they believe they’re in imminent danger, could become a “recipe for disaster” if protesters clash with immigration officers.
“It’s kind of a recipe for disaster because you have these masked federal officers with very little identification, sometimes no identification, wearing plain clothes and masks,” Mayes said in the Monday interview, calling ICE “very poorly trained.”

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has started raising money for a legal defense fund after the Department of Justice subpoenaed Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and with others for allegedly conspiring to impede law enforcement. This also comes as there has been massive fallout from a fraud scandal that has plagued Minnesota.
In a message sent out to supporters, Walz said, “Tim Walz here. Last week, the federal government opened an investigation into me. This comes just weeks after a federal ICE agent fatally shot Renee Good in Minneapolis, unleashing chaos across our city. Rather than taking accountability and working to turn down the temperature, Donald Trump and his administration
Tensions between the United States and Canada have rapidly escalated this week after Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney delivered a rousing speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Tuesday, declaring a “rupture” in the old world order and calling on “middle powers” to unite.
The once jovial public relationship between Carney and President Trump has descended into a barbed back-and-forth, with Trump on Friday disinviting Canada from his Board of Peace, which Ottawa was already hesitant to join.

European leaders worked themselves up into full-blown hysteria before President Trump spoke to the World Economic Forum this week with wild claims that Trump planned a U.S. invasion of Greenland that would destroy the NATO alliance and the rules-based international order. A couple of dozen European troops were hurriedly sent to Greenland. French President Macron called for an emergency G7 summit. European leaders also discussed implementing a “bazooka” trade retaliation against the United States.
But when Trump spoke at the Davos Summit on Wednesday, these hair-on-fire claims melted away in the face of his masterful speech, which laid out in depth his successful record of promoting global security and ending wars.
Some of us are old enough to remember Matthew Lesko, the lanky, fast-talking late-night TV pitchman who promised people free government money to those who bought his books.
There are, Lesko said in one of his countless ads decades ago, “15,000 programs you can use to get a better job, get an education, or start your own business. Those who know about the programs are the ones who get the money!” Lesko was right about how easy it is to get taxpayer money.
What Lesko didn’t say is that it’s easy to do even when it violates the law — especially if you live in a state run by Democrats.
General Motors has announced that production of the newly updated 2027 Chevrolet Bolt EV will end after approximately 18 months to make way for a gas-powered Buick crossover at its Kansas manufacturing facility.
Inside EVs reports that General Motors has confirmed plans to discontinue production of the heavily updated 2027 Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicle after a limited production run of about one and a half years. The decision will allow the automaker to repurpose its Fairfax, Kansas, factory for manufacturing the Buick Envision, a gas-powered crossover currently built in China that will be reshored to the United States.
A Chevrolet spokesperson confirmed the move, stating that when

Many of you may remember back in 2024 I strongly urged President Trump to consider appointing Harriet Hageman as CIA Director for very specific reasons and intents. Watch this video below and you will see why she was my preferred choice.
Representative Hageman has just found an important trail to discover the missing documents, recordings and transcripts that were destroyed by the January 6 Committee.

You may recall the controversy over Democrat Jay Jones' resurfaced texts in which he fantasized about the death of political opponent former Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert and his children.
Despite that, he won the race for attorney general in Virginia, which has to make you wonder what the people who voted for him were thinking. That was just one of the problematic issues about Jones [snip] Even WJLA reporter Nick Minock reported how people were having fun with it on their Facebook, including asking if Jones got his degree from the Quality Learing Center
