Communist Insurrectionists Take Over Minneapolis
Posted By: Dreadnought, 1/25/2026 2:27:26 AM
Well, not all of Minneapolis. But a portion of South Minneapolis. The miscreants are a combination of Antifa thugs and woolly-headed Minnesota liberals, all playing at being Communist revolutionaries. To the barricades! And they have, indeed, erected barricades of a sort. Videojournalist Rebecca Brannon is on the scene: More here. Police apparently have withdrawn from the area, turning that portion of the city over to the insurrectionists. As far as I have seen, neither Tim Walz, nor Jacob Frey, nor any other member of the Democratic Party has criticized, let alone condemned, this lawlessness.

WASHINGTON - New orders for key U.S.-manufactured capital goods increased more than expected in November, indicating business spending on equipment maintained a steady growth pace in the fourth quarter.
The fifth straight monthly rise in the so-called core capital goods orders, reported by the Commerce Department on Monday, followed on the heels of data last week showing strong consumer spending in October and November, and reinforced economists' expectations the economy extended its robust performance in the last three months of 2025. The strength in business investment in equipment and the overall economy has occurred despite President Donald Trump's sweeping import tariffs, which have depressed a large segment of manufacturing. But
Top Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino and some of his agents are expected to leave Minneapolis on Tuesday and return to their respective sectors, according to three sources familiar the discussions, sidelining a key player in the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.
The move comes after President Donald Trump announced he was dispatching White House border czar Tom Homan to Minneapolis in the wake of Saturday’s fatal shooting of a US citizen. The White House has said Homan is expected to manage Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in the city. One official said it was a “mutual decision” to have Bovino depart. Some Border Patrol agents are expected
The situation in Minnesota is out of control, and finally, happy hands lunatic Tim Walz has chosen reason, deciding to cooperate with Trump officials in the wake of the recent shooting of Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis last Saturday. It sparked another round of outrage from the Left, who claim, without evidence, that he was executed. Meanwhile, some conservatives claimed wrongly that he was about to commit mass slaughter before he was shot—Pretti was legally carrying a firearm at the protest. It’s created a total mess on messaging, and now Trump is stepping in to clean up the mess, appointing Tom Homan
A group of 60+ Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of a considerable list of major corporations doing business in Minnesota have weighed in on the ongoing disturbance. As one might expect, they are calling for calming everything down.
We'll see if it has any effect.
Chief executives of Target, Best Buy, General Mills, Cargill and roughly four dozen other large Minnesota companies issued a public letter on Sunday calling for an “immediate de-escalation of tensions” in the state.
The letter marks the first time the most recognizable businesses in Minnesota
We're learning a lot more about the people who were in the anti-ICE Signal chat groups that independent journalist Cam Higby infiltrated in Minnesota, the organization of the group, its donors, and the significance of the address at which Alex Pretti was obstructing federal officers. There's far too much information to detail completely in this piece, but even just from an overview, it's clear that there is an organized insurrection underway, led by several elected officials in Minnesota and aided by alleged journalists.
Let's hit the highlights:
Organization
The groups are highly sophisticated. They're set up geographically; within the City of Minneapolis, they're generally divided by City Council district, but also
Inside the battle of the Twin Cities

We are witness to what I have called “The battle of the Twin Cities.” On one side is federal law enforcement. We support federal law enforcement. On the other side are state and local authorities, the Star Tribune, and a highly organized resistance. We beg to differ with them all.
Not enough attention has been paid to the resistance. It is well-funded, covert, highly organized, and supported by state and local authorities. It seeks to harass and obstruct the federal officers executing federal immigration law in Operation Metro Surge.
The participants present a sort of neo-Confederate scene that used to go under the moniker of “massive resistance,”
Trump Sends Tom Homan to Minnesota

Amid continuing violent insurrection in Minneapolis, where local police and state authorities are siding with anti-ICE rioters, Donald Trump is sending his border czar to oversee operations personally.
Border Patrol shot an armed and violent protestor, Alex Pretti, as he feloniously clashed with them during an operation to arrest a criminal illegal alien. Since then, the property destruction and assaults on federal immigration officers escalated, while Minnesota and Minneapolis authorities refused to do anything to enforce the rule of law. Gov. Tim Walz deployed the National Guard but apparently mainly to hand out goodies to violent protesters. So Donald Trump is taking action.
"I’ve seen organized resistance up close," special forces veteran Eric Schwalm posted on Sunday, and "from Anbar to Helmand, the pattern is familiar: spotters, cutouts, dead drops (or modern equivalents), disciplined comms, role specialization, and a willingness to absorb casualties while bleeding the stronger force slowly."
"What’s unfolding in Minneapolis right now isn’t 'protest',” he continued. "It’s low-level insurgency infrastructure, built by people who’ve clearly studied the playbook."
"This isn’t spontaneous outrage. This is C2 (command and control) with redundancy, OPSEC hygiene, and task organization that would make a SF team sergeant nod in recognition
The final Israeli hostage was recovered and brought back to Israel on Monday, the Israeli military said, concluding the long process of bringing the hostages back from Gaza following the October 7 terrorist attack more than two years ago.
Ran Gvili was a 24-year-old Israeli police officer who was killed on October 7 and brought to Gaza, where he was held for 843 days.
“After an identification process conducted by the National Center of Forensic Medicine together with the Israel Police and the Military Rabbinate, officials notified his family that his remains had been identified and would be brought to burial,”
What We Know So Far

The left is making a hero and a martyr of Alex Pretti, which makes perfect sense if you ignore nearly all the facts. Here is what we know so far:
* Pretti was no innocent bystander or peaceful protester. He was a member of the signal “ICE watch group” that was formed to interfere with federal law enforcement. Matt Margolis has much more about the well-organized, and no doubt well-financed, criminal group of which Pretti was a member.
* Pretti came to an area where federal officers were carrying out an enforcement action with the intent of trying to disrupt them. He brought with him a luxury version

Violent Crime — Which Just Might Be

It’s counterintuitive, and the opposite would be far worse. But we’re still duty-bound to prepare for the electoral fallout.
Because, in all probability, it’s coming with a vengeance in 2026.
I don’t want to sound unappreciative, because I’m delighted with the results. Ask yourself: Would you rather solve illegal immigration, halt border crossings, stop violent crime, and deal with the political consequences — or live in a country with nonexistent borders and a runaway crime rate?
When we consider the alternative, what choice did we have?
The US Air Force said Sunday it was about to begin a multi-day readiness exercise across the Middle East “to demonstrate the ability to deploy, disperse, and sustain combat airpower” in the region, amid heightened tensions with Iran.
“This exercise reinforces peace through strength by fielding a credible, combat-ready, and responsible presence designed to deter aggression, reduce the risk of miscalculation and assure partners,” a statement released by US Air Forces Central (AFCENT) said.

The private jet that crashed during takeoff from Bangor International Airport in Maine on Sunday evening is registered to prominent anti-ICE lawyers who were spending tens of millions of dollars to elect Democrats in the upcoming Texas primaries.
The crash resulted in seven fatalities and one serious injury.
The jet was registered to Arnold & Itkin Trial Lawyers, known for its aggressive litigation and leftist political activism, including substantial financial support for Democrat causes, particularly those opposing strict immigration enforcement and Republican policies in Texas.
The victims’ names have not been released at this time, but early reports indicate that people associated with the firm were on board.
Alex Pretti did something foolish and illegal at the protest in Minneapolis. He interfered with law enforcement agents. There will be debates for days if not years about whether his illegal interference with the cops, the discovery of his gun, and his violent resistance justified them shooting him.
In considering that issue, I urge readers to consider it not from the warm comfort of their recliner while watching slow-motion videotapes interspersed with football highlights, but from the perspective of cops who are being taunted, spat upon, name-called, and threatened with being run over by organized protesters in the bitter

The wife of a homeless charity boss who allegedly cheated California taxpayers out of $23 million dollars was spotted dashing out of her $7 million dollar mansion Sunday — as neighbor’s dished on the couple’s lavish lifestyle.

A new National Police Service (NPS) will free up local forces to tackle everyday crime by taking over responsibility for counter-terror, fraud and organised crime investigations, the home secretary has said.
Shabana Mahmood told the BBC the NPS, which she has dubbed a "British FBI", was "absolutely not" about saving money but about designing a new policing model for England and Wales.
It will bring the work of existing agencies such as the National Crime Agency (NCA) and regional organised crime units under the same organisation, buying new technology such as facial recognition on behalf of all forces.

The Washington Post could shut down its entire sports section after management informed staffers that it was abruptly scrapping its planned coverage of the 2026 Winter Olympics two weeks before the opening ceremony.
The decision by the Jeff Bezos-owned publication to cancel coverage of the Winter Games coincides with a report from Puck News journalist Dylan Byers, who tweeted on Saturday that “massive layoffs” at the paper were imminent.
According to Byers, there is increased chatter that the Washington Post’s “sports desk could be shuttered entirely” and that its “foreign desk will be hit hard too.”
A Washington Post spokesperson was not immediately available to comment.
Eighty-eight-year-old Washington, DC, Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D) ended her reelection campaign early Sunday amid calls for her retirement.
Norton filed a termination report with the Federal Election Commission, the Hill reported, noting she had served in the role for the past 35 years.
“Former senior aide of the D.C. Democrat, Trent Holbrook, launched a bid for her seat earlier this month, while Robert White, a member of the Council of the District of Columbia, announced his intention to run for the District’s sole nonvoting seat in September,” the article read.
Along with her age, the elderly delegate has been facing criticism regarding her health and mental acuity, according to the Washington Examiner.

As we all know, the only thing "progressive" about the Left over the last ten years has been the progression of their psychological affliction known as "Trump Derangement Syndrome."
Think about it: TDS during President Donald Trump's first term was already festering, but the rhetoric with its accompanying violence was arguably not quite as incendiary as it is today.
In a Sunday example, a librarian — yes, a librarian — was arrested after allegedly posting online videos trying to recruit assassins to kill the president. Is anyone surprised? Other than the fact that this librarian is a lunatic, perhaps.
