The Week In Pictures: Get Off My Land Edition
Posted By: Hazymac, 2/7/2026 5:56:50 AM
It is not momentous events that are the most meme-worthy. Rather, it is moments when liberals show their true colors and embarrass themselves, often in relatively trivial ways, that set meme-creators to work. This week, along with the ongoing fiasco in Minnesota, we had severel such events. The Washington Post, hemorrhaging losses, laid off a large portion of its staff, causing its newly-unemployed reporters to demonstrate outside the building. They marched in defense of the moral principle that Jeff Bezos is obliged to support them forever, no matter how much money they lose. I wonder whether some of the newly-laid-off demonstrators have been covering economics for the Post. Also, more Epstein documents

What Percentage of Our Economy Is Fake?
8 replies
It's a question that I had not put too much thought into until recently, but in light of the revelations over the past year from DOGE, the current fraud investigations in Minnesota, Oregon, Maine, and California (and I hope that will soon expand to all 50 states), it really has struck me that a huge proportion of our economy is probably just money laudering.
Of course, we all understood at some vague level that there had to be a large amount of money laundering going on. The illegal drug trade alone is worth hundreds of billions of dollars, and that is just one portion of a large black market.
UCLA DEI Chief Finds Out the Hard Way

That Celebrating Charlie Kirk's Murder
Was a Sick Thing to Do 3 replies
We saw how some deranged, sick leftists celebrated the murder of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk after his brutal assassination in September 2025. It’s one thing to oppose someone’s viewpoints; it’s another to take joy in their killing.
One of the worst of the lot was UCLA DEI chief Jonathan Perkins, and he just found out that his demented views are too much for even the administrators of that woke institution. He has no regard for the sanctity of human life, but evidently, we’re supposed to cry over his pets:
UCLA finally fired its DEI chief months after the woke administrator publicly celebrated the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk —

Chuck Schumer found himself in an awkward spot this week when confronted with polling data that completely undercut his attack on voter ID laws. The Senate Minority Leader appeared on MSNOW's Morning Joe on Thursday to discuss the GOP-backed SAVE Act, which would require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections. What followed was the exemplification of political discomfort.
Earlier in the week, CNN's chief analyst Harry Enten dropped some numbers that should make Democrats rethink their messaging on election security. Voter ID requirements enjoy overwhelming bipartisan support, with approval ratings consistently above 75% across demographics.
One thing we should never see is judges high-fiving criminals at parties; they enforce the law, not celebrate those who mock it. Neutrality demands distance from chaos, especially when robes hang in the closet. Attending events that trash law enforcement turns impartiality into a punchline.
Blackburn's Call for Probe
Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) urged Chief Justice John Roberts to investigate Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. Blackburn pointed to Jackson's attendance at the Grammy Awards on Jan. 29 in Los Angeles.
"While it is by no means unheard of or unusual for a Supreme Court justice to attend a public function, very rarely—if ever—have justices of our nation’s highest Court been present
She appears to have moved on from the news, but this now-laid-off Washington Post reporter would’ve been better off ignoring the responses to her post about her pink slip. Jada Yuan was among the many staffers at the publication who were laid off. The entire Ukraine bureau was terminated, along with the sports section. Metro will be retooled. In all, one-third of the staff was let go. It was a source of liberal whining for a bit, with some blaming Jeff Bezos for the situation that led to the cuts. Or maybe it’s because their staffers couldn’t keep up with current events.
Someone quipped that Yuan should “lear to code,”

A bombshell new report from ISGAP Action, a nonpartisan organization focused on combating antisemitism, is putting Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib (MI-12) in a glaring spotlight, accusing the congresswoman of maintaining a disturbing pattern of ties to individuals and organizations linked to U.S.-designated terrorist groups.
Groups such as Hamas and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).
Go ahead and color me shocked. RedState readers, of course, will recognize Tlaib as a lawmaker nearly unmatched in her willingness to side with terrorist organizations in nearly every scenario.
The ISGAP briefing details everything, from her campaign shelling out nearly $600,000 to a consulting firm run by an activist
Gavin Newsom Mocked Into Next Week As

He Holds Ceremony Honoring Invisible High-Speed Train 12 replies
Sometimes you just have to point out, as the classic story goes, that the emperor has no clothes.
California Governor Gavin Newsom preened for the cameras Tuesday as he celebrated the high-speed train that has so far cost at least $12 billion — and will cost over $120 billion more to complete, lightyears beyond the original estimates — and has been under construction for over a decade.
There was only one problem with his victory lap: There’s no bullet train, and there’s no track.
Gov. Gavin Newsom was mocked for posing in front of a freight train to tout progress on the troubled High Speed Rail project — still years from carrying passengers
A self-identified Antifa member, Kyle Wagner, was arrested Thursday on federal threat and cyberstalking charges following alleged murder and assault threats against Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Wagner, 37 of Minneapolis, is expected to make an initial appearance in federal court today.
According to the criminal complaint, Wagner has escalated his opposition to ICE operations, including conspiring and threatening to assault federal law enforcement officers in Minneapolis. In January 2026, Wagner repeatedly posted on Facebook and Instagram, encouraging his followers to forcibly confront, assault, impede, oppose, and resist federal officers
Iran’s brutality is on full display as more than 36,500 Iranians are feared dead, indiscriminately gunned down in the streets, as the regime wages war on its own citizens. As its people cry out for freedom, the Islamic Republic responds with bullets, prisons, and executions. No group is paying a heavier price than Christians.
We just took urgent action – mobilizing our global offices and filing a vital new submission to the U.N. Human Rights Council through our international affiliate with consultative status at the U.N., the European Centre for Law and Justice (ECLJ). We are pressing international leaders to apply maximum pressure
How Did Democrats Get So Stupid?
5 replies
There are some people who should be grateful that breathing is a reflex, because had it required any mental abilities whatsoever, they surely would have suffocated on the streets, having forgotten to do it. These people should be pitied, but Democrats hold them up as aspirational figures. I get why they do it. Democrats have very little to actually be proud of; what is disturbing, however, is that there are so many people even more dumb who fall for it.
That there are so many people in this country who are so wildly ignorant enough to follow the political left over the cliff is not a shock; the public schools
FORT PIERCE, Fla.—A federal judge on Feb. 4 sentenced Ryan Routh to life in prison for attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump.
Routh was also sentenced to seven years behind bars on a gun charge. He also received a $500 fine.
The sentencing hearing came months after Routh, 59, attempted to stab himself in U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon’s courtroom following a guilty verdict on multiple counts.
Federal prosecutors said in a court filing that a life sentence was appropriate given what they described as months of deliberate planning and a clear intent to kill.
“He took steps over the course of months to assassinate a major presidential candidate, demonstrated

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is using his Muslim faith to justify his views on immigration enforcement and wants America to follow suit.
Mamdani held a press conference on Friday to speak about ICE and immigration policy in the United States. As TGP readers know, Madani has vowed not to cooperate with the Trump Administration on getting rid of criminal illegal aliens in the Big Apple.
At one point in the press conference, Mamdani cited Islam to push an open borders agenda. He claimed Islam was built on a narrative of migration and noted that Muhammad was once a stranger too.
Minnesota's ICE surge is leaving many with strong feelings of fear and anxiety. Many in the community and mental health experts are finding ways of handling it. "I mean, my last six therapy sessions have been basically all talking about this," said Nate P. (Snip) Fear and uncertainty are taking a toll on the community, with many unsure of how to cope. Mental health concerns are on the rise as immigration enforcement plays out in Minnesota and across the country. "We're seeing the images, it's hard to look away," said Marcus Schmit, executive director of NAMI Minnesota. "People are feeling
Friday on MS NOW’s “The Weeknight,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) argued Republicans would vote for her in the general election for U.S. Senate.
Co-host Michael Steele said, “Do you think Republicans, when you get to a general election, can be convinced that you are the representative they need in Washington?”
Crockett said, “Oh, absolutely. Now, Michael, you can maybe talk about this a little bit more because I think the Democrats have a perception of what Republicans want. And I think that, you know, what the real is. I think that Republicans aren’t looking for somebody that is Republican lite. They can just go and get the real thing.
A Washington state mother captured on video the moment she confronted her 16-year-old son, who ditched class to join an anti-ICE protest, and his refusal to get into her vehicle, claiming that the protest was school-sanctioned.
The video, which has gone viral on social media, shows the frustrated mom, Rachel, pulling up to the protest site and ordering her son to get in the car, only for him to refuse, insisting it’s his “right” because the school permitted it.
In the footage, the mother can be heard saying, “You’re not skipping school for this (expletive). Get in the car.”
Her son retorts, “No, it is my right,” before walking away.
The Left is beginning to panic about Tulsi Gabbard's investigation into the massive election fraud in 2020.
They have good reason to. For the first time since then, I actually have hope that the fraud will be exposed for all to see. I would say that the evidence produced will be undeniable, but the left will always deny what they find inconvenient. But still, by the time Gabbard is done, a lot more people will believe what has been pretty obvious for a long time:
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a designated terrorist organization, said on Thursday it seized two vessels in the Persian Gulf that were allegedly carrying smuggled fuel.
Later that day, a former Iranian official threatened to turn the Strait of Hormuz into a “place of massacre and hell” if there is a conflict with the United States[snip] On Tuesday, IRGC forces used small boats and a drone to harass a U.S.-flagged and crewed merchant ship named MV Stena Imperative that was conducting a lawful transit through international waters. [snip]
On the same day, an Iranian drone made an aggressive approach to the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln,

Mike Pence is siding with wealthy donors over victims of the East Palestine, Ohio, rail disaster, earning a cacophony of outrage from conservatives and prominent MAGA voices.
Pence, who like Democrats reflexively opposes Trump on issue after issue as he woos establishment corporate donors to enrich himself through his non-profit and stake a claim in the narrowing establishment lane for the 2028 Republican nomination, is fighting a bill first championed by then-Ohio Sen. JD Vance — and Pence’s likely 2028 primary opponent — to implement safety regulations for trains carrying hazardous materials.
Those regulations could have prevented the toxic spill that upended the lives of thousands in the East Palestine area
Over 60 percent of illegal immigrant-led households and 51 percent of legal immigrant-led households received some sort of welfare benefits in 2024, compared with just 37 percent of natural-born citizen households taking taxpayer benefits, according to a new report from the Center for Immigration studies. (snip) The Center for Immigration Studies explained that, even in states that do not explicitly provide benefits to illegal immigrants, their households may receive such benefits if they have U.S.-born children. (snip) Food and Medicaid assistance were the most common forms of welfare across immigration statuses.
Gen Z, this will smart.
The generation born between 1997 and 2010 is the very first generation who did worse in school than the generation before them, according to a top neuroscientist.
And shockingly, they are proud of it.
“They’re the first generation in modern history to score lower on standardized academic tests than the one before it,” Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath, 43, told The Post. “And to make matters worse, most of these young people are overconfident about how smart they are. The smarter people think they are, the dumber they actually are. “They underperformed on basically every cognitive measure, from basic attention, memory, literacy, numeracy, executive function and general IQ.”
Prepare to be shocked, folks!
Another planet-saving environmental solution foisted on the populace by all-seeing bureaucrats has turned into an expensive failure. The latest boondoggle is playing out in the upper New England area, where once again the “experts” in all things ecological lacked logic.
A brand new fleet of EV buses, touted energetically last summer, has been brought to a halt in the frigid climes, frozen in place, if you will. This is all because the geniuses behind this globe-preserving mandate were incapable of divining that conditions in the area could quite possibly impact their harp seal-snuggling directives.

U.S. stocks surged on Feb. 6 in a stunning turnaround that saw the blue-chip Dow soar more than 1,200 points to pierce and close above the 50,000 mark for the first time ever.
"The Dow reaching 50,000 is less about celebration and more about confirmation," said Gina Bolvin, president of Bolvin Wealth Management Group, in an email. "Markets have adjusted to higher rates, slower growth, and global uncertainty—and still moved higher. That tells us confidence is real, and 2026 will be less about the (Federal Reserve) and more about fundamentals."
After steep losses earlier in the week, investors decided that the sell-off was overdone and returned to the market. A jump
