Justified

by Vincent Thomas Ignatious

I'm trying to refrain from commenting on the ton of posts and comments on social media, as well as those from elected officials, regarding the shooting of Alex Pretti in Minnesota.

Arm chair warriors are dissecting frame by frame slowed down videos of the incident. Some are criticizing Border Patrol for their tactics, including some conservative voices. Others are calling Pretti a hero for defending a woman.

Some say he was holding a gun when he was shot. Others are saying he wasn't. So far, this is what I've seen, along with some facts.

Pretti had an open carry license. He thought it would be a good idea to bring a 9mm handgun, with extra magazines, to an organized obstruction of Federal activities, without carrying any ID. Technically, he was in criminal possession of a weapon, although he had a license to carry. That license and his State ID, must be on his person when carrying.

BP was in the process of removing and attempting to arrest a woman who was actively interfering with their lawful activists. Pretti intervened. His motives here are irrelevant. He interfered with law enforcement, then resisted when they tried to take him into custody.

So here's what happened afterward.

It appears he was disarmed by a BP agent during the scuffle. It APPEARS that BP agent yelled 'gun!' as he disarmed him. Mere seconds later, the agent holding that gun had an accidental discharge. Other agents, who did not know Pretti was relieved of his firearm, heard 'gun' and seconds later, a gunshot. They the opened fire on Pretti, who they assumed fired his weapon at them.

I'm not going to criticize tactics. It is a shit show in Minnesota precisely because of these trained agitators. But if people put emotion aside and look at the law and the justification of the use of deadly force... If what I think happened actually happened, the use of force would be justified.

So stop with the slow motion bullshit videos of a man carrying that gun as it went off, saying it was Pretti. It was not. It was the BP agent who took his gun. But legally, that's irrelevant.

Now let's get into the heart of the matter... Politics and personal responsibility.

These agitators deliberately are interfering with BP and ICE, as their Comrades record these confrontations. It is a Left wing tactic designed to force agents to act and use force, which is then recorded and disseminated for propaganda purposes.

When you have people who refuse to comply with the Law challenging Law enforcement agents who are then forced to act, often using physical force, it is never pretty. The use of force by armed police officers or federal agents never looks good.

This tactic is also used by Hamas. They force Israel to act and use their military force, as Hamas puts women and children in harm's way. These incidents are recorded, disseminated, and echoed by a willfully complicit media and social media influencers.

In other words it is pure propaganda designed to invoke emotion devoid of facts and reason. It is designed to create a false image and narrative of an out of control Federal agency and President in an election year.

Wait until you see what these people do this summer. It's 2020, repeated. It is a planned and sophisticated operation designed to give democrats the House and Senate. They will impeach and remove Trump should they win.

Welcome to the revolution.

This is why Jacob 'Cause Fray' and Tampon Tim Walz are encouraging these violent acts. Much like democrats did in 2020 when Antifa and BLM looted, murdered, burned churches, buildings, and assaulted cops.

Democrats called these rioters and murderers, "the voices of the unheard." Chris Cuomo said the protests don't have to be peaceful.

Compare all this to the treatment of the handful of knuckleheads out of a crowd of thousands who commited crimes on January 6th, as well as the many more who simply walked into the Capitol Building and were peaceful.

Arrested.

In solitary confinement.

Treated worse than Islamic terrorists at Gitmo.

You have to look at this through a political lense because the politics of the vile democrat leftist media machine is causing this.

Don't get caught up in petty nonsense about who was carrying the gun or Pettii's motives. It's far bigger than this.

It is a planned, organized revolution complete with State sanctioned and media sanctioned propaganda.

A Sower er Sauer Weapon

This from Bob Clasen:

About that gun that the Minneapolis protester was armed with

This appears to be a Sig Sauer P320, a modular striker-fired semi-automatic pistol chambered in 9mm Luger. It’s a popular handgun known for its customizable design, where components like the grip module, slide, and barrel can be swapped out. This particular example looks to be in a carry or full-size configuration based on the barrel length and magazine size.

Added Features and Modifications

From the visible details in the photo:

• Coyote tan grip module: This is a non-standard color option (often borrowed from military variants like the M17/M18), providing a two-tone appearance with the black slide. It’s textured for improved grip and includes a manual safety lever on the frame, which is an optional feature on P320 models for added mechanical prevention of accidental discharge.

• Threaded barrel: The barrel is extended and threaded at the muzzle, which allows for the attachment of a suppressor or other muzzle devices. This isn’t standard on base P320 models and is typically an aftermarket upgrade.

• Weapon-mounted light: Attached to the accessory rail under the frame is what looks like a Sig Sauer Foxtrot1X, a compact LED weapon light (up to 450 lumens) with rechargeable battery via the visible USB-C cable. It has mode switches for high/low output and momentary/constant on.

• Other details: The slide has front serrations for easier manipulation, and it may be optics-ready (common on modern P320s), though no red dot sight is mounted here. The extended magazine (likely 17- or 21-round capacity) is removed in the photo, and the overall setup suggests it’s configured for concealed carry or home defense with enhanced low-light capability.

Wall Street Apes

@WallStreetApes

Wheelchair bound ICE protester seems to temporarily have a divine intervention and is able to stand up out of his wheelchair and grab what he dropped

These are paid actors

The title comes from the last line in the movie Dr. Strangelove where Strangelove (Peter Sellers) suddenly realizes he can walk., getting out of his wheelchair in joy at the prospect of a world-ending nuclear holocaust.

More than Meets the Eye

Timothy Birdnow

The sophisticated system at work in Minneapolis and other cites to thwart ICE.

The Left Doesn't Want You to Know This About the Man Shot by Border Patrol

The sophistication strongly suggests state actors are involved in this. We know Mexico has a hand in it and who knows who else? The Chicoms? Russia? Denmark? Venezuela?

The Politics of Tantrum

Timothy Birdnow

The rats in the GOP are scurrying for cover:

U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D.

@SenBillCassidy

The events in Minneapolis are incredibly disturbing. The credibility of ICE and DHS are at stake. There must be a full joint federal and state investigation. We can trust the American people with the truth.

John Kasich

@JohnKasich

What’s happening in Minnesota is waking up the whole country. People don’t see justice or fairness, and doubling down isn’t going to work. It’s tearing the country apart.

Even James Comer called for law enforcement interruptus:

Mediaite

@Mediaite

GOP Congressman James Comer Suggests Trump Should Pull ICE Out of Minneapolis: 'There's a Chance of Losing More Innocent Lives'

I once compared the GOP to a herd of buffalo confronted by wolves. I saw a nature program about buffalo in a national park in Canada and the wolves would come and there would be a standoff. The buffalo would line up facing the wolves and the wolves were clearly enjoying themselves, taking it easy, waiting for the inevitable. The buffalo, bigger, stronger, and probably at least as fast as the wolves, would eventually become skittish and then one would turn and run and the rest would make a break for it. The wolves knew this was coming and then would run down several of the slower animals. The GOP behaves just like the buffalo and the Democrats like the wolves. The Republicans are such cowards they break and run at the first sign of trouble, hoping to be eaten last. They could easily crush the Democrats just as the buffalo could easily crush the wolves, but they don't think that way. They have a loser's mentality, mere prey.

As Saul Alinsky said, if you push a negative long and hard enough it will break through and become a positive. The GOP always quite just before they can win.

In the next week or so we are going to be treated to all manner of polls "showing" Americans are disgusted and want ICE out. Americans WILL be disgusted but not necessarily at ICE, but the way the polls are set up they will guarantee this result and the Republicans will dutifully fall in line. Case in point; This Newsweak article (I meant o do that) talks about a YouGov poll:

This most recent YouGov poll was taken on January 25, 2026. A total of 3,359 U.S. adults were surveyed.

It showed that 46 percent strongly or somewhat strongly support the abolition of ICE—34 and 12 percent respectively. Twelve percent of people responded that they were unsure, and 41 percent were opposed, with 10 percent somewhat opposing, and 31 percent strongly opposing.

Eight percent of Republicans strongly supported abolishing ICE, and 11 percent somewhat supported. 73 percent of Republicans were in opposition, with 13 percent somewhat opposing and 60 percent strongly opposing.

Support was strongest among Democrats, with 76 percent supporting abolishing ICE—62 percent supporting strongly, and 14 percent somewhat supporting.

This poll follows one taken between January 9 and January 12, shortly after the killing of Good. Support has surged among Republicans by four percentage points over a period of roughly two weeks.

Question; why should Republicans listen to these polls? The next election will tell us what the public really thinks. But this is designed to dispirit the Republican voters and to suppress our side, to get us to stay home in disgust. It works too oftentimes.

We can't win with this generation of politicians in our party. We must have not just Trump but a successor who is nearly Trump's equal, and we have to see the old guard Republicans retire or die off and replace them with MAGA. Despite how good it looks now for our prospects the fact is, and these riots bear this assertion out, we are still losing and will ultimately lose if we don't do EVERYTHING exactly right. We should never have gotten into this position but we did. This is what our backing of the Bush family and the Karl Rove wing got us.

There are only two ways to end this. One is with victory and the other is with total defeat. The Left is actually getting quite desperate and this is a measure of their desperation; they know the public hates illegal immigration and wants stricter law enforcement and they are risking THAT with this move. But to them it's worth it; they might disgust enough Republican voters and frighten enough Republican representatives to get our side to retreat, to back down. If we do that the public will see the GOP is all hat and no cattle, insincere. They will stay home in November. That is the only chance the Demoleft has. So they are going to pull out all the stops, and if people die in the process, well, you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs, eh?

It's the old playbook. Like Lucy with the football and our party of Charlie Browns will fall for it every time.

If the GOP does not grow a pair of Texas-sized danglies soon all will be lost.

BTW the ICE officer who shot this gun-toting clown was an eight year veteran and not some newbie. So much for "poorly trained" as the media keeps repeating.

Also, where is the concern for the people who have been murdered or raped by the illegals? I don't hear any of it. Ice isn't going after peaceful, law abiding illegals but rather against those who have committed crimes and have already been deported by law. Due process has already been served So why don't these clowns in Minnesota care about shootings in Chicago, in St. Louis, in all the major cities? They were fine with that but let a couple of people who are threatening ICE agents get killed and suddenly one life lost is too many.

What is happening in Minneapolis is what Marxists always do when fomenting revolution. It's an attempt to bully the average citizen into accepting their rule which promises order, nothing else. They break the system then offer the solution, which is giving them power. The public, worn out and sick of violence and strife, surrender to them. This is a violent version of the child who throws a temper tantrum in public until he gets what he wants. That is what Minneapolis is - a giant temper tantrum from the Left.

The only way to stop temper tantrums from children is to not reward them and to punish them. If we stop sending ICE to Minneapolis as many have suggested we reward this behavior and will get more of it elsewhere. ICE agents will never be safe again. Think about that.

Where is This Video?

Timothy Birdnow

Curiouser and curiouser....I heard about this film but it seems to have been removed from X, the supposedly now "right wing" entity. Just removed, no explanation of why:

Watch Carefully: Look at his Left Hand You Can Clearly See Him Raising His Gun

While it may have been removed because it was a deep fake, I rather suspect that not to be the case.

In fact this can't be found ANYWHERE on the web, at least not with standard search engines. I tried Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Yahoo and couldn't find it anywhere. Odd; if nothing else there should have been some mention of it as being a fake if that was the case.

Is X falling back into bad habits? Or is there a reason it needed to be removed?

I don't know but if we had such a film it would take the whole floor out from under the rioters.

I find it interesting that we have no film of the leadup to this shooting. It's just the part where the ICE agents are swarming this guy. Oh, and I haven't seen the actual shooting; it always cuts off before that. Now why do you suppose that is?

Something very dirty is going on here.

Will Spanberger and Dems ever demonstrate moderation or rational thinking?

Paul Driessen

After four years of Republican Executive Branch rule, Democrats again control Virginia’s Executive Branch and its Senate and House of Delegates. What can Virginians expect?

Governor Abigail Spanbergercampaigned as a moderate and saidenergyefficiency and affordabilitywould be central to her first legislative session. Democratic strategist Ben Tribbett expected "a measured approach” from her, instead of "radical change.” Senate Majority Leader Scott Surovell said "voters put [Democrats] in charge to focus on affordability and bring some rationality and stability” to the fore.

Republicans feared Democrats would push high-tax, big-spending, heavy-regulation policies that would reduce energy affordability, stall economic growth, hurt small businesses and families, and impair school choice, voting and safety. They worried that the energized, aggressive leftist base that helped Democrats win the 2025 elections would drive radical changes on multiple fronts.

Star Wars XXXXIIIIIVV: The Sith Take Minnesota

Timothy Birdnow

Chaos has erupted in Minneapolis and is now spilling over to other cities and there are some who think martial law is near. They may well be right, and I long ago predicted violence and revolution if the Left saw their "victory" evaporating under a sensible government.

I am mindful of the Star Wars movie Revenge of the Sith. When Master Windu is attempting to arrest Chancellor Palpatine aka Darth Sidious Palpatine calls on Anakin Skywalker for help "I told you...the Jedi are taking over". He had been carefully filling Skywalker's mind with lies about how the Jedi were plotting to overthrow the government, when in fact it was he who was plotting the overthrow all along. When Skywalker stopped Windu Palpatine then murdered him, and had issued orders to murder all the Jedi. Skywalker, now Darth Vader, led the attack, slaughtering everyone in the Jedi temple, most of whom were just children.

That is what the Left is attempting to do with these riots. They are, like the Dark Sith Lord Darth Sidious, the ones who are attempting to seize power and they are accusing the Administration of doing what they themselves are doing. IF Trump declares martial law they will say "we told you; Donald Trump is taking over!" when in fact it is THEIR insurrection, their coup.

That's why they want Trump to overreact. But if he underreacts they will win too.

I'm glad I don't have Mr. Trump's job.

Tim's Grim Fairy Tale

Timothy Birdnow

Minneapolis goes full Portland.

Anti-ICE Rioters Barricading Entire Blocks in Minneapolis as Police Appear to Be MIA

The city is in open insurrection and state officials are refusing to do anything about it.

Jorge Ventura Media

@VenturaReport

Protesters have blocked and barricaded multiple streets near the shooting , many people from out of town are starting to arrive here in Minneapolis and despite the massive amounts of tear gas used by authorities , the crowd is only getting bigger.

@DailyCaller

Being shipped in from everywhere, a rent a mob of massive proportions.

Local police are absent and no attempt has been made to remove the barricades.

Wanker walz DID call up 1,500 national guardsmen but he's going to use them to interfere with ICE operations rather than control the rioting.

He and Keith "Shahada" Ellison went on television yesterday to condemn the White House and demand Trump remove any and all Federal agents from the state. Of course both Walz and Ellison were caught with their hands in the till, being implicated in the Somali fraud scandal.

As I said prior this really is Walz's only way out at this point. He hopes to cause so much trouble that the Trump DOJ just lets it drop.

Walz was chosen to be Kamala's veep precisely because of his connection to this fraud network; he was going to bring home the bacon for the Democrats. And he has now shown he can be trusted by them to do whatever it takes. A few dead protesters is small potatoes to him. Better yet a few dead ICE agents, as he sees it.

So now he's daring Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act and Trump is deftly avoiding that lest the Democrats take this freak show nation-wide. But he may have no choice before long.

In this bitter cold Trump should send firefighting planes over the rebellious zone and dump gallons of water on them. That would get them off the streets quickly.

During the first Trump term I argued that the rioting and looting was done precisely to wear people out - to make the desire to get back to normalcy grow so great the public would turn against TRUMP just so we can "get back to normal". It worked, I might add; so many people voted Biden just to end the madness. Of course the madness metastasized under the Demented Dufus. But the principle still worked when it was tried, and often does; that's how communists are able to take over countries. They make the problem then offer themselves as the solution. People accept their rule out of fatigue.

Recently Daniel Jupp made this same case here at The Aviary.This is what Saul Alinsky meant when he admonished radicals to "rub raw the sores of discontent".

Well, fatigue works both ways and the Left is putting everything they have into this right now because they are getting tired themselves. This is a crust defense; if they lose this they lose it all because the machine they had been building depended on illegal aliens and black money stolen from Americans and both are in peril. That's why they chose to make their stand here in Minnesota, the capital of the fraud. (Notice how these things move around from city to city; they remember Alinsky "a tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag". ) So it's not Portland or Seattle this time, nor St. Louis or New York - it's Minneapolis and in Ohio. They want this in the heartland because that is the root of MAGA country. This gives the impression that the left is everywhere and we are surrounded, when in fact they are very limited and have to import their storm troopoers.

One of the tricks used by Genghis Khan was to put scarecrows on horses and ride them along with his men. He also would loop his men back around to pass a city two, three, four times or more. The defenders thought they were facing a vast army when in fact the Mongols were always outnumbered. That is precisely what the Left has been doing to us all these years. It works because they have the media on their side. I remember the Ferguson riots; one or two people would go out in the street and lay there and the media would dutifully film it, making it appear vast numbers of people were doing it. Manipulating the media is easy when the media agrees with you. So that's why they are now doing things in the Midwest; make it look like all of America hates Trump and wants open borders.

It may yet work. We have to challenge them on every front on this.

I was going to repost my poem "Walzing with Timbo" but since I switched to my spiffy new laptop I don't have the saved copy on this machine. I'll dig it out when I get the chance from the old warhorse.

In the mentime I leave you with this short little ditty:

Tampon Tim looks mighty grim

Demanding the ICE melt

but Keith and him are mighty dim

and their administration smelt

(I know but it was the best I could do on such short notice.)

"Mostly Peaceful Protests"

Timothy Birdnow

An illegal alien protester bit off the finger of an ICE agent while resisting arrest.

Yeah; real peaceful protesters.

Meanwhile a recent poll (granted it was before this latest shooting) showed a solid majority of Americans (57%) support ICE and oppose the protesters. You won't hear that on CNN.

The Real Reason for the Protests

Timothy Birdnow

This from our friend across the Pond, Daniel Jupp:

"Dear America,

I'm tired of people pretending this is about ICE. Or Renee. Or George Floyd. Or whatever slogan happens to be trending this week. It never is. The cause is interchangeable. The outrage is rented. The script is the same recycled, bullshit. Every single time Republicans take control, the left goes hunting, not for justice, not for solutions, but for a spark. Any spark. A name, a video clip, a headline they can weaponize. Because the goal isn’t reform. It’s disruption. It’s chaos. It’s punishment. Punishment for daring to vote wrong.

They don’t want to persuade you. They want to exhaust you.

They don’t want debate. They want submission. They don’t want peace. They want you miserable enough to cave. So they torch cities, block highways, harass neighbors, scream at diners, target cops, demonize Ice agents, and then stand back and call it "righteous anger.”

And if you dare question it? You’re the villain. You’re the problem. You "lack compassion.” It's funny how compassion always seems to involve other people paying the price.

George Floyd wasn’t about Black lives. If it were, they wouldn’t have burned Black neighborhoods to the ground and moved on the second the cameras left. MeToo wasn’t about protecting women. If it were, it wouldn’t have been selectively enforced based on party affiliation. ICE isn’t about immigrants. If it were, they wouldn’t cheer criminals over law-abiding citizens. These are props. Shields. Human meat suits for a political tantrum.

The real objective is hostage-taking. Make daily life so hostile, so unstable, so miserable that normal Americans think, Maybe it’s not worth voting Republican anymore. That’s the strategy. It’s not subtle. It never has been.

I would like to think people are catching on. We’re tired of the fake grief. Tired of the selective morality. Tired of being told to shut up, sit down, and accept disorder as virtue. This country doesn’t belong to the loudest mob or the angriest activists. It belongs to the people who work, raise families, follow the law, and still believe elections matter.

You don’t get to burn the house down every time you lose and then lecture the rest of us about democracy. We see you now.

And the mask is gone.”

Mainstream media in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, the US, Canada etc have all decided that elections don’t matter and nobody is ever allowed to enforce border laws or rightwing policies.

They have further decided to drive the dumbest bastards in every nation insane and encourage them to commit domestic terrorism. Because the aim is that no patriotic policy, no national identity, no prioririsation of one’s own citizens and their safety, can ever be allowed again.

If they win, it’s impossible for any government in the West to govern, unless they govern as globalists and leftists. Let’s say Farage doesn’t let everyone down, Reform win, and Reform try to deal with mass immigration and treat Muslims who commit crimes the same as anyone else who does.

Let’s say they really try to reduce immigration. We are already being told constantly in the UK that they are Nazis. The exact same media will do the exact same things, and the Eatablishment media will do the same things. We will have riots stoked up to make it impossinle to enforce the policies that people voted for.

Assuming of course that national elections aren’t just suspended the way the council elections for 4.5 million Brits (including myself) already have been.

Because globalists want to run the western world the same way China is run. Social credit systems, total control, only one set of views and policies allowed, elections ignored or stolen, denied or suspended, or retained solely as a meaningless formality while the same policies go ahead.

America is the frontline because there they actually have somebody fighting back. But the same stuff applies throughout the West, so long as the same depraved media, brainwashed populations, and corrupt globalists looking to China as their model exist.

This is why Denmark is ordering Chinese jets (even though China puts kill switches in solar panels…what do you think they put in fighter jets they sell?). This is why Canada announces a grand alliance with China against the US and the media praise that speech. This is why Trudeau praised China and his father Pierre aligned with China as far back as the 1970s.

Globalists are Communists who dress better.

Modern communism is fine with personal wealth and the benefits of capitalism…..so long as it’s controlled by the right people.

The people loyal to the Party. Then State power is both absolute and absent. It exists absolutely to rob the average citizen of everything. It doesn’t apply at all to the people in the Party, who use those vast State money flows as their private resource. A perfect combination of the worst excesses of both systems.

That’s what they largely have in place already, and that’s what Trump threatens as both a populist enforcing border laws, and a geopolitical strategist opposing China.

The domestic riots, the political insurrection, the chaos on the streets and the order behind the chaos, the hatred of Trump,or any populist, are all part of the same thing.

The people must be told, not heard, the policies are already decided, not decided by elections, and if they lose they will burn everything down a bit more quickly until people break.

Why are they Angry about Greenland?

Timothy Birdnow

Why is the Left so angry about Trump's proposal to annex Greenland.

The Left is so angry at this proposal because it goes after one of their sacred cows. They teach that three is an historical inevitability in the march towards socialism/commnism and that the decline of America and other capitalist nations is unavoidable and in fact a good thig. They want us to continue to manage our own decline and do so gladly, as the Europeans have done. National suicide. But vigorous societies grow, they don't shirnk, and Trump is talking about growing ours. This is a reversal of the script, of how it is supposed to go. This infuriates the Left. They see it as a return to the "bad old days" of colonialism, or if they are honest to just national pride. Can't have that! So they will fight this to their dying breath. Their halitosis-laden dying breath. No argument will sway them, not even if the Greenlanders themselves vote to join the U.S.

Leftism is a cult of death. They want nations to die to empower international institutions and the New World Order. And they want to break the power of the U.S. so that this new order may arise and nations eventually disappear, subsumed into the international socialist order. That really is how they think. And of course they won't let Trump win any battle, no matter how sensible his proposal.

Trump is to them the Emmanuel Goldstein of 1984 and everyone must scream at the top of their lungs in the two minute hate.

An Act of War by Mexico; Mexicans Organizing Anti-ICE Riots

Timothy Birdnow

This is an act of war, is it not?

Mexico’s Secret War Against America: 53 Consulates Organizing Anti-ICE Riots

Promoting violence in another country is essentially attacking your neighbor. Trump needs to respond forcefully here.

The great Peter Schwiezer thought the quotes he was coming across from high level Mexican officials was simple hyperbole until he did some research and found Mexico has no fewer than 53 consuilates in the U.S., far more than any other country.

FTA:

Peter Schweizer said recent statements by senior Mexican officials and actions taken through Mexico’s extensive consular network raise concerns about political influence operations and territorial rhetoric directed at the United States.

Schweizer said he began noticing repeated comments from high-ranking Mexican figures that went beyond standard diplomatic language and instead suggested claims over U.S. territory.

"I started running across these quotes by senior Mexican officials, and I thought, this is just crazy. I mean, do they really mean this? And I kept finding them,” Schweizer said.

He cited remarks made by what he described as one of the most powerful senators in Mexico, a member of the ruling party who serves on the National Defense Committee.

"I’ll give you an example of one that I found very early on. This is from one of the most powerful senators in Mexico. He’s a member of the Marina party, the ruling party. He sits on the National Defense Committee, which is the most powerful committee in the Mexican Senate,” Schweizer said.

Schweizer then quoted the senator directly.

"And he said just a couple years ago, quote, Mexicans are in our territories, California, Nevada, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Wyoming. We’re going to take back the territory that was stolen from us,” Schweizer said.

Schweizer said similar language appeared in an official Mexican government report released in December 2024.

"And another one. This is from a government report in December of 2024 by one of Sheinbaum’s top aides,” he said. "Wright writes in this government report, quote you. We already know that the Mexican population in the United States reaches 39 point 9 million. We Mexicans are reclaiming our territory.”

Initially, Schweizer said he dismissed the comments as political posturing.

"So I looked at this, and I thought, Okay, well, this is just a bunch of bravado from, you know, blow hard Mexican politicians,” he said.

However, Schweizer said his view changed after examining Mexico’s diplomatic footprint inside the United States and how it is being used.

"And then I started looking at what is the apparatus that Mexico has in the United States,” Schweizer said.

He compared Mexico’s consular presence to that of other major nations.

"And I found that, you know, the United Kingdom and China have six and seven consulates respectively. Mexico has 53,” Schweizer said.

According to Schweizer, those consulates are not limited to traditional services.

"And I started looking at what Mexico is doing with those consults, and I found out that they’re they’re organizing protests. They’re still organizing some of these anti-ICE protests,” he said.

Schweizer specifically pointed to activity in Minnesota.

"They’ve got a consulate up in the Twin Cities right now. That’s neck deep in what’s going on in Minneapolis,” he said.

Peter Schweizer said recent statements by senior Mexican officials and actions taken through Mexico’s extensive consular network raise concerns about political influence operations and territorial rhetoric directed at the United States.

Schweizer said he began noticing repeated comments from high-ranking Mexican figures that went beyond standard diplomatic language and instead suggested claims over U.S. territory.

"I started running across these quotes by senior Mexican officials, and I thought, this is just crazy. I mean, do they really mean this? And I kept finding them,” Schweizer said.

He cited remarks made by what he described as one of the most powerful senators in Mexico, a member of the ruling party who serves on the National Defense Committee.

"I’ll give you an example of one that I found very early on. This is from one of the most powerful senators in Mexico. He’s a member of the Marina party, the ruling party. He sits on the National Defense Committee, which is the most powerful committee in the Mexican Senate,” Schweizer said.

Schweizer then quoted the senator directly.

"And he said just a couple years ago, quote, Mexicans are in our territories, California, Nevada, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Wyoming. We’re going to take back the territory that was stolen from us,” Schweizer said

Schweizer said similar language appeared in an official Mexican government report released in December 2024.

"And another one. This is from a government report in December of 2024 by one of Sheinbaum’s top aides,” he said. "Wright writes in this government report, quote you. We already know that the Mexican population in the United States reaches 39 point 9 million. We Mexicans are reclaiming our territory.”

Initially, Schweizer said he dismissed the comments as political posturing.

"So I looked at this, and I thought, Okay, well, this is just a bunch of bravado from, you know, blow hard Mexican politicians,” he said.

However, Schweizer said his view changed after examining Mexico’s diplomatic footprint inside the United States and how it is being used.

Trump should expel most of these diplomats and close their consulates right now. He doesn't need smoking gun proof to do that. And if there IS smoking gun proof? Tariff them to death, certainly. Maybe even blockade their shipping.

But we have to respond to this. ANYONE financing or recruiting or otherwise aiding and abetting violence inside the U.S. must be punished, and if it is a foreign nation that is, in fact, an act of war and should be treated as such. Trump shoulf get his ducks in a row and then speak to the American People, telling them what Mexico is doing.

It continues:

He further alleged that Mexican officials were directly engaging in U.S. political strategy discussions during the 2024 election cycle.

"But I also found that they were meddling in our politics,” Schweizer said. "They were literally meeting with Democratic Party activists in 2024 saying, How are we going to stop Trump? We got to stop Trump.”

Schweizer said those discussions referenced past electoral shifts in key states.

"We turned California from red to blue. We turned Arizona from red to blue. We’ve got to stop Trump,” he said.

Strange how jacked up (pardon the Jack Smith pun) the Democrats were about "Russian collusion" when all the while they;ve been colluding with Mexico. Strange how that isn't so important. I would call that treason.

Schweizer has a reputation for having his facts correct so I am certain this has been happening.

Look, someone is organizing and funding these "spontaneous" riots. No doubt George Soros' palsied hand is involved, and he needs to be brought to justice. But if Mexico, or Russia, or China are involved we need to treat it as it is - an attack on U.S. soil.

President Trump is going to have to deal with this now, not later. If he allows foreign meddling inside of the U.S. it will only get worse. This is Mexico's way of trying to hurt us for kicking out illegals and cutting off the flow of remissions. Well, we can hurt them a lot more than they can us.

Trump Still Supporting DEI

Timothy Birdnow

The Trump Administration is still promoting DEI in spite of making a show of ending it.

This has been ongoing for generations now. We've had set asides for minorities in government hiring now since the Second World War and for decades the government denied "race norming" despite the fact that the civil service exam was required for most positions and a disproportionate number of black folks wound up getting the jobs. When smoking gun proof was finally found they admitted to doing it - and said they wouldn't quit. The public let it slide and thus emboldened the Left to do ever more egregious discriminating against the majority.

Now even Donald Trump won't try too hard to stop it.

Until we cut off the head of the serpent the body will just regenerate. We have to destroy these programs in their entirety. I'm not sure why the people who surround him want to save this stuff but apparently they do.

Nevada Judge Releases MS-13 Murderer

Timothy Birdnow

Another day, another MS-13 thug released from ICE detention by a Democrat judge.

Nevada Federal Judge Orders Release of Convicted MS-13 Murderer; DOJ Vows to Seek Further Review

FTA:

In yet another controversial ruling (see below) that has sparked outrage among law enforcement and the U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. District Judge Richard F. Boulware II ordered the immediate release of Harvey Laureano-Rosales, a convicted murderer and former MS-13 gang member, from immigration detention.

The decision, issued on January 21, 2026, in the case L.R. v. Kristi Noem et al. (Case No. 2:25-cv-02019-RFB-BNW), grants Laureano-Rosales’ habeas corpus petition, citing violations of due process and statutory detention limits under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) swiftly responded, announcing it will seek further review of the order.

They should settle this guy directly next door to the judge. And maybe some of his friends to boot. Oh, and the cops ought to be slow to respond to any complaints made by judge dufus here.

This judge is bad news. The article continues:

This is not the first time Judge Boulware II has come under fire for rulings perceived as lenient toward criminal aliens. As I detailed in a previous California Globe investigation, "Las Vegas Federal Judge Releases Illegal Aliens Despite Criminal History", Boulware has released at least three criminal alien defendants in recent months with minimal bonds—ranging from $1,500 to $2,000—often before DHS and ICE could appeal or deport them. That report highlighted Boulware’s pattern of overruling immigration judges, obstructing federal immigration law, and bypassing procedures, labeling him a judicial activist who exceeds his authority. Appointed by former President Barack Obama, Boulware’s decisions continue to raise concerns about public safety and judicial overreach in immigration cases.

We must devise a mechanism for removing such creeps from the bench. Obviously the political process put in place by the Fouding Fathers fails miserably; they never understood there would only be two parties and that one would be so reckless and irresponsible and lust for power so greedily that they would block any attempts at reform.

We have to get these kinds of people well away from any lever of power. This is about the safety and protection of the American People.

Judges are supposed to protect Americans, not coddle criminals.

The Federal Government should buy the homes around this judge's house and fill them with the lowest scumbags in America. Let him live with the consequences of his actions.
