There's an old joke that asks how you give a chammeleon a nervous breakdown. There are 2 answers, with the first answer being 'by putting the chameleon against a plaid background.' The other answer is 'by putting it against a paisley background.' I say this as the innocent bystander watching Angie Craig try to decide whether to run for the open U.S. Senate seat that Tina Smith currently hold as a moderate or whether she should run as a guns-ablazin' wild-eyed progressive. To Craig's credit, she's doing a nice job spinning her flip-flops, saying "I’ve always been hard to define as a member of Congress in my votes and I don’t think I’m very definable now. I always listen to my constituents, and that’s what I’ll continue to do for the people of Minnesota." Actually, she's easily defined. She's a hard-core liberal who doesn't believe in justice. She voted to impeach President Trump twice, once without a hint of admissable evidence. The...

Is Tom Homan a miracle-worker? When he arrived in Minnesota Monday night, things were spinning out of control for ICE and US Border Patrol, especially after the shooting death of Alex Pretti. Homan was sent to Minnesota with instructions to calm things down and to restore sanity to a chaotic state governed by lunatics like Tim Walz, Keith Elliso and Jacob Frey. Though I'm still skeptical about whether Homan's hard work will succeed, it isn't hyperbole to say that Homan's done heroic work in less than a week. According to this article , "Tom Homan said Minnesota state leaders acknowledged the legitimacy of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and agreed county jails are permitted to notify ICE when criminal offenders are being released , following meetings this week with Gov. Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and local law enforcement officials." That alone is worthy of miracle status. Like I said, I'm still s...

While Amy Klobuchar picked better weather than when she launched her bid for the White House, little has changed with her. She's still the do-nothing DFL politician who's been protected by Twin Cities print and TV media. Sen. Klobuchar announced her bid to become Minnesota's next lefty governor by touting "she is one of the most bipartisan senators in the U.S. Senate." She once issued a statement announcing that she'd worked with a GOP senator from Missouri to get the budget increased for advertising for national parks. That year, I can't tell you how nervous I was that the advertising budget for national parks wouldn't be sufficient. Thank God St. Amy rushed in and saved the day with that bill. The truth is that she's one of the most partisan legislators in DC. After then-Speaker Pelosi pushed the American Rescue Plan Act through the House, economists from both sides of the aisle criticized the bill while predicting that the bill would cause infl...

The thoroughly predictable has happened. Tim Walz and Jacob Frey broke their promise with President Trump on them helping capture criminal illegal aliens. As of 1/29/26, there were 1,688 pages of Criminal illegal aliens caught nationwide. On the first page of the DHS website, half of the people on the page were caught in Minneapolis. Of those caught in Minneapolis, 5 of the criminal illegal aliens had convictions of sexual assault, rape or rape of a teenager. Another 3 had convictions of homicide. On this blog, these criminal illegal aliens are nicknamed Jacob Frey's neighbors. As with all Trump deals, it comes with both carrots and sticks. These are President Trump's demands : Turn over illegals in local jails or subject to arrest warrants to the feds. Have state and local law enforcement commit to turning illegal immigrants over to the feds. Make local police help the feds track down and detain illegal immigrants wanted for crimes. Partner with the feds to "protect Amer...

One of the things I most like about President Trump is that he isn't preoccupied with sugarcoating the truth. Whether you agree or disagree with him, he isn't afraid to tell you what he's thinking. A recent example of this is his warning shot at Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey that he's playing with fire. This firestorm started when 'Boy Toy' Frey said "Minneapolis does not, and will not, enforce Federal Immigration Laws." People understand that Frey is grandstanding to look tough. It isn't working, though. He's about to get flattened by President Trump. If Frey thinks that he can go toe-to-toe with the Leader of the Free World without getting hurt, then he's a blithering idiot. Frey apparently thinks that he's out of legal jeopardy. On that, he's wrong. ICE and/or Border Patrol can sue him, costing his city millions of dollars. Frey hasn't realized that he isn't fighting with the MNGOP. He's fighting Donald Trump and Tom ...

It's been apparent for quite some time that the anti-ICE activists are well-trained, well-paid rent-a-mob employees. Thanks to Cam Higby's reporting and the FBI's reporting, we now know that "The FBI director confirmed this week that his agency is investigating after independent journalist Cam Higby leaked what he described as encrypted chats from the Signal messaging app showing local groups coordinating efforts to track and obstruct U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents." Further, it's getting reported that "The chats show activists collecting license plate data, dispatching mobile patrols to search for ICE vehicles, and mobilizing crowds, according to Higby. The groups also provide ICE observer training to members, Higby explained." I was quoting from David Strom's article when I noticed "CONFIRMED: There is a group chat with other activists assigned to follow ICE agents. The craziest part about these organized activists...
