(snip) "They actually caused my right hand to bleed. They attacked the photo journalist I was with" (snip.) "This was called a filter blockade. It was essentially makeshift checkpoint in Minneapolis," Ventura said. I honestly couldn't believe it was still up after 24 hours. I didn't see any law enforcement when I arrived."

It's the same dark money with new signs. Anti-ICE protests in Minnesota may appear to be "grassroots" efforts organized by concerned citizens, but they're really funded with megadonor money -- some coming from China. (snip) "My team's best judgment is that it's the Neville Singham network that is most active in Minnesota, partly because that's the most crazy network. But they aren't alone," Scott Walter, president of Capital Research and an expert on dark money outfits, told the Post. Walter was referring to the People's Forum and the Party for Socialism and Liberation, both funded by China-based former software exec Roy Singham. (snip)

Democrat Rep. Jerrold Nadler (NY) on Tuesday said Americans would be justified in shooting masked ICE agents.
“What is really the major problem in this country today is the fascism in our streets,” Nadler said during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday.
“The attacks on American citizens by masked hoodlums. If you were attacked by a masked person, you might think you were being kidnapped,” Nadler said.
“You’d be justified in shooting the person to protect yourself,” Nadler added.

Jim Crow is back, you guys! Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer invoked Jim Crow regarding the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which requires proof of citizenship to register to vote.

The digital billboard, at Mason and Jefferson streets near Fisherman’s Wharf, displayed images of what appeared to be Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and messages that say “Cheering because the home team finally started investing in defense,” “Defensive player of the year: ICE,” and “They can’t win without defense. Neither can America.” American Sovereignty, a conservative group, said that it had placed the sign.

‘Can you shut up?’ 14 replies
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) lashed out at Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent — telling him at one point to “shut up” — after a tense exchange over inflation. Waters suggested that President Trump’s tariffs were inflationary and immigration enforcement was tanking housing affordability during a House Financial Services Committee hearing about the state of the US economy. “Will you be the voice of reason in the administration and urge Trump to stop waging a war on American consumers?” the California Democrat pleaded. “Yes or no?" “You seem confused as to the definition of inflation,” Bessent began before Waters interrupted him to re-ask the question.

Melinda Gates reacted to the release of Jeffrey Epstein’s emails involving her ex-husband Bill Gates, including horrific allegations Epstein made such that Bill was attempting to dose her with antibiotics to fight an STD without her knowledge, by saying Bill and other Epstein associates “need to answer to those things.”
I think we’re having a reckoning as a society,” Melinda Gates told NPR’s Wild Card podcast host Rachel Martin on Tuesday. “No girl should ever be put in the situation that they were put in by Epstein and whatever was going on with all of the various people around him.”
Comments:
The European Union (especially its executive European Commission) is a bureaucracy dominated by Germany and France but otherwise accountable only to itself. The House report documents that, at least in matters of speech, the EU bureaucracy aspires to be a de facto World Government and its European Commission has not been shy about attempting to censor purely American content produced for an American audience.
