Although there’s been a reduction in the number of ICE agents in Minnesota, community activists say the fear of ICE still prevails and restaurants continue to lose business. That’s why dozens of people gathered to eat at several immigrant-owned restaurants along Central Avenue in northeast Minneapolis on Sunday afternoon. Some of the businesses included El Taco Riendo, Holy Land and The Golden Nuts. “The reason that we wanted to do this action was to show support for immigrant businesses that are really struggling even after the supposed draw-down,” Jae Yates of Twin Cities Coalition for Justice.

DALLAS — Dallas County has extended voting hours two hours to 9 p.m. on Election Day for Democratic voters, a court order shows, as new restrictions have led to many residents getting turned away from polling places. Voters and poll workers have reported confusion as a new process is restricting where voters can vote on Election Day. For example, election judges at Lee McShan Elementary in Dallas said they've seen a lot of people trying to vote at the wrong precinct. Two people living in the same home near Harry S. Moss Park may vote in two different places. Democrats must
When California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) took the stage before a predominantly Black audience in Georgia recently, something revealing happened. He leaned into the microphone and offered his credentials for relatability: a 960 SAT score, a confession that he can’t read well, and a childhood sustained by frozen lasagna and mac and cheese. (Snip) They called it “competence downshift.” Analyzing 25 years of presidential campaign speeches — 74 speeches delivered to mostly white or mostly minority audiences — they found that Democratic candidates consistently used fewer words associated with intelligence, ability, and status when addressing Black crowds. Republican candidates showed

WASHINGTON — A crowd gathered at a commuter gate at Reagan National Airport on Friday as fog-laden Washington skies caused an hourlong ground stop that backed up passengers hoping to head out from American Airlines' Terminal D. (Snip) Biden, who has rarely made public appearances since leaving office last year, sat, like many of his fellow passengers, awaiting a flight that would take him to Columbia, South Carolina, for an evening event with the South Carolina Democratic Party. Passengers whispered and gaped in wonder: Why would a man who for a time was leader of the free world be, like they
LOWER MANHATTAN, New York -- Several ceremonies were held in Lower Manhattan on Thursday to mark 33 years since the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Officials with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey held a memorial mass at St. Peter's Church at 10:30 a.m. Then at noon, 9/11 Memorial and Museum held its annual ceremony on the National September 11 Memorial Plaza, with a moment of silence at 12:18 p.m. The attack took place on Feb. 26, 1993, when a bomb built by Islamic extremists exploded in the parking garage of the North Tower of

CNN data analyst Harry Enten branded the early Democratic contest for the 2028 presidential election a “downright clown car” and “total mess” with “no clear frontrunner” – a point he noted was “very unusual” even at this early stage. (Snip) “Yeah, they’re all running and this is just a downright clown car at this point on the Democratic side,” Enten said, pointing to early polling that shows Newsom at 19%, followed closely by former Vice President Kamala Harris at 18%. “Quite a weak number for her, given that of course, she was the nominee last time around,” commented Enten. Former
The armed madman who was shot and killed by the Secret Service after he snuck onto President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate Sunday was reportedly obsessed with the Jeffrey Epstein files — and implored others to “raise awareness” just days before the deadly encounter. Austin Tucker Martin, 21, was gunned down by local Florida police and members of the Secret Service after he brandished his shotgun in a “shooting position” on Trump’s property, authorities said. He was reported missing by his family after he vanished Saturday. His mother, Melissa Martin, made a missing person poster for him, describing the silver Volkswagen he

An armed man was shot and killed by the Secret Service in the early hours of the morning after unlawfully entering the secure perimeter at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago in Florida. The man, in his early 20s, was holding what appeared to be a shotgun and a fuel can as he tried to enter Trump's Palm Beach residence, the Secret Service said. He was neutralized by a deputy from the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office around 1.30am on Sunday. The deceased man's identity has not been released. President Trump had been attending the Governors Dinner in Washington DC on Saturday night.
MINNEAPOLIS — The middle of winter – especially January – is not always kind to restaurant owners. Just ask Gavin Kaysen. "It's usually the slower time of year," Kaysen, whose Soigné Hospitality restaurant group owns several Minneapolis restaurants. "You couple that with really cold weather, that doesn't help, and then you add everything else that has happened to us." (Snip) "Majority of all of my colleagues have seen 30 to 50% decline, you know, 30% probably on the weekends, 50% during the weekdays," he said. "It's a nonsustainable future." Kaysen says his restaurant, Spoon and Stable, lost more than $70,000
Kamala Harris is topping some new polls of Democratic White House contenders, a sign the former vice president and 2024 presidential nominee has staying power despite her defeat to President Trump. It’s a reality that flies in the face of some of the talk after that race, in which Democrats talked about turning the page, with some calling for the party to move on from a stale playbook and to look for new leaders. It all underscores the paradox Democrats are facing in their rebuilding efforts: Which parts of their messaging and leadership do they want to overhaul, and what
The Minneapolis City Council debated the renewal of two liquor licenses on Tuesday, focusing on two hotels allegedly housing federal agents during Operation Metro Surge. In January, protesters descended on both the Depot and the Canopy hotels, believing Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were staying inside. Some protesters faced off with Minnesota state troopers after an unlawful assembly was declared. Hospitality union members spoke to the council about the license renewals, explaining that some employees from the hotels have expressed fear over ICE agents staying there. "We believe that a liquor license is a privilege and that privilege should be

Mayor Zohran Mamdani laid out two potential paths Tuesday to close what he says is a $5.4 billion dollar budget gap in New York City. In one, Albany would raise taxes on the richest New Yorkers. In the other, the City would raise property taxes for the first time since the late 2000s. The City could generate $3.7 billion by raising the property tax by 9.5%, Mamdani said. (Snip) “If we do not go down the first path, the city will be forced down a second, more harmful path. Faced with no other choice…we would have to raise property taxes.

Mamdani Promotes Islam

Last Sunday, as a massive blizzard hit New York City, Comrade Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani posted praise of municipal workers on X: “Grateful for the public workers who keep NYC running — especially in a blizzard. From 5am suhoor with @NYCSanitation to visits to @nycparks’ Randall’s Island garage, DSNY’s Flushing plow shed & @nycdot’s salting operation … it’s working people who show up for NYC.”
Mamdani included four photos, including one of him praying with four Muslim workers from the Department of Sanitation; suhoor is the meal that Muslims eat before dawn during Ramadan, as the fasting period begins with the rising of the sun.
The federal income tax is abusive. It is inconsistent with liberty. It has, as Chief Justice John Marshall noted, the power to destroy. There is nothing positive to be said about it. It cannot even raise government revenues efficiently. As we said a year ago, of all the good Donald Trump could do in his second term, eliminating the federal income tax would be one of his greatest achievements.
It’s clearly one of his goals.
“As time goes by, I believe the tariffs paid for by foreign countries will, like in the past, substantially replace the modern-day system of income tax,” Trump said during his State of the Union address.

Works for Weapons Builder Wants to ‘Defund
the Pentagon’ 14 replies
A Democrat running for office in California has reportedly called to defund the Pentagon, but her husband works for a company that built missiles the United States is believed to have used during the recent strikes on the Islamic regime in Iran.
Fatima Iqbal-Zubair is a candidate for the state’s 65th Assembly District and her husband, Fazlul Zubair, is an engineer manager for Raytheon, the New York Post reported Monday.
The United States and Israel launched a joint military operation targeting Iran on Saturday in part to ensure the regime will never have the capability to threaten the world with nuclear weapons, according to Breitbart News.
Saying that this decision sends "a powerful message that the Constitution still protects families, and California schools are not above the law," parents and teachers in California have won a "monumental" ruling at the U.S. Supreme Court, halting California schools from secretly transitioning children and hiding the information from parents until the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals issues its final decision.
The U.S. Supreme Court threw out a 9th Circuit Court ruling that allowed government-run schools to keep secretly transitioning children while California parents pursued a lawsuit against the state.
The 6-3 ruling means that the parents will be able to continue exercising their fundamental civil rights "under the Free Exercise
French President Emmanuel Macron said that the joint American-Israeli military strikes against Iran are “outside of international law.” Addressing the French public in a national broadcast, President Macron said that while Iran “bears primary responsibility for this situation,” his government also disapproves of the strikes taken by the United States and Israel against the regime in Tehran. The United States of America and Israel have decided to launch military operations, conducted outside of international law, which we cannot approve,” Macron said, according to Le Figaro.
The son of Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was selected to replace him as supreme leader, according to a report in opposition media.
Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, was tapped to assume control of the country by Iran’s Assembly of Experts, a powerful body of clerics, Iranian International said Tuesday. The report was widely being picked up by Israeli media but had not been confirmed by Iranian state mouthpieces.
Mojtaba was at first believed to have been among the 40 top Iranian aides killed during the Saturday strike that took out Iran’s highest-ranking cleric.

A Russian mogul who once called sex-trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell his “soulmate” was found dead in a luxury Moscow apartment Monday, according to reports — just weeks after his name surfaced in the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Umar Dzhabrailov, a Chechen businessman and former senator, was discovered lying in a pool of blood with a gunshot wound to his head at about 3 a.m., Russian outlet Kommersant reported, citing police sources who called it a suspected suicide.
Police discovered a Luger pistol lying by the 67-year-old’s body. But Dzhabrailov — who had tried to take his life in 2020 — didn’t leave a suicide note, the sources said.
Iranians’ joy vs. Democrats’ shame
11 replies
The outpouring of joy on the streets of LA is impossible to ignore.
Thousands of Iranian-Americans lined Wilshire Boulevard on Saturday and Sunday to celebrate the joint U.S.-Israeli strikes that, they hope, will bring down the Iranian regime.
On Westwood Boulevard, in the heart of “Tehrangeles,” there were raucous cheers inside Persian restaurants. Flags hung everywhere — the sterile tulip of the Islamic Republic replaced by the lion-and-sun of the previous era.
The Iranian people, at home and abroad, believe that freedom is at hand, and that President Donald Trump is bringing the redemption for which they have waited for decades.
U.S. President Donald Trump is “very disappointed” in British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer over his blocking America from using joint military bases to strike Iran, a report states. It is very disappointing that Britain didn’t stand with the United States when it launched strikes against Iran’s military and weapons industry, and British Prime Minister Starmer then took too long to get involved in the defence of Middle Eastern allies once the bombs started flying, President Donald Trump has said.
George F. Will, or as I like to call him George Fwill, absolutely LOATHES Donald Trump.
That should surprise nobody. The geek with a bowtie who often found Reagan beneath him surely would loathe Trump and his classless administration based as much on their crass style as their America First policies.
Unlike many NeverTrumpers, his raw hatred for Trump didn't turn him into a liberal; he is, as much as one person can be, the same as he was in 1979. Dry, arrogant, measured for the most part, and center-right. It's not like he went all Bill Kristol or George Conway on us, so I usually roll my
Last week, FBI Director Kash Patel fired a dozen agents who worked on the case investigating Donald Trump for taking top-secret materials to his Mar-a-Lago residence after his first term was over. Those agents have now been revealed to be part of an elite group specializing in assessing threats from Iran, according to two reports.Multiple sources with knowledge of the personnel move told the New York Sun and confirmed to MS Now that the layoffs impacted the counterespionage group tasked with investigating threats from foreign adversaries out of Iran just days before the US bombed its leaders.
When you’ve constructed a cartoon version of the world in your mind, what do you do when reality proves it wrong?
If you’re the leftist establishment, you certainly don’t rethink your assumptions.
Late Friday, New York Times columnist David French snarkily referred to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth as a “walking MAGA caricature” on X.
Four hours later, Hegseth’s troops were pounding Iran in an intricate series of strikes that left its evil regime reeling.
The response to French — who has not withdrawn his sneer — was unsympathetic.
My favorite: “Let’s have a contest … you and Pete show up at Fort Bragg, see who the troops respect more.”

Media is really straining to create a story. I only count 11 people in the restaurant. Food is apparently served on paper and Styrofoam plates on mismatched and care-worn furniture. I wonder if they left a tip?
