SAVE Act

Folks, I get the arguments against the SAVE Act. Yes, it should be a matter left up to the States, but what are we to do when the States fail to do their job? Just wring our hands and say, “Oh well.”

Let’s be honest and say Minnesota is corrupt and California is corrupt as hell; and so are many other States. Are we simply expected to pretend to be impotent and let the large Liberal States drag the rest of us the rest of the way into Communism and Socialism. We’ve been heading that way since FDR so please don’t make this a choice between freedom and tyranny. We are a long way from freedom, but it seems every year it gets a bit farther out of reach.

Most of what the Federal government does is unconstitutional. I get that, but to invoke the idea to oppose the SAVE Act because it is an over-reach seems like a cop-out to me. We are over the cliff and on the verge of loosing the Republic if we don’t force the States to limit voter participation to American Citizens. If States won’t do that voluntarily then only the Federal Government can compel them to do what is right. That’s just reality. Only when both political parties agree to this premise can a State level solution be pursued. The Liberal States don’t want to limit voting to citizens because their biggest constituent group is foreigners that are here illegally. This was Biden’s immigration strategy all along. Anyone saying differently is a liar.

Guys, we have a small window of time to get our country back or it will be lost forever.

But why the SAVE Act? Did you know it is piggybacked onto the 1993 motor vote law? Yep, I hate that law too, but … The motor voter law has been litigated. By changing its requirements, the hope is to avoid a protected amount of litigation which would be the case if the SAVE Act was created out of whole cloth. What good would it be to pass the law and then have it blocked by a Federal court judge?

The biggest obstacle to passing the SAVE Act is Republicans, specifically John Thune. Thune was opposed to the idea and still is. He signed on to support the measure only after 49 Republican Senators got on board with it. Thune did not do this to lead but to obstruct. By signing on to the Act and being the highest-ranking Republican, he gets to call the shots as to when, where, or if, it ever has a chance to become law. He will either block it or shake-down the rest of his Senate colleagues to extract concessions on swamp goodies to allow a vote. Thune is purposely screwing-over the country by blocking the SAVE Act. As usual, he is turning the Constitution into a suicide pact.

Congress is a hopelessly corrupt organization whose job is to fix nothing because if they did, they would have no crisis requiring them to be elected to fix anything. When out of power, Democrats are always the champions of immigration, but when they control the levers of power, they never fix the issue. If they did then they couldn’t fundraise on the issue and campaign against the other party for stopping their solutions which are actually and purposely nonexistent. Didn’t you notice that they never introduce a bill to fix their issues, they just point fingers at other side once they lose power. Ditto for Republicans, just different issues.

Zohran Mamdani, AOC, Ilhan Omar, and Jasmine Crockett the Gifts that Keep on Giving

Before you ask why I am praising this merry band of whackos, maybe ask yourself the same question.  Folks, politics have taken a wild turn in the last 12 years.  Actually, make it 20 years!  The Tea Party started all of this with the rise of “Republican” political types who simply voted NO on everything… ala Ted Cruz.  I use air quotes because I do not think these types are actually Republicans, they must regurgitate the talking points on the TV.  Then came Donald Trump, and the rise of the politician who actually did what he said he would do!  It was also the rise of the MAGA movement, which I struggle to define as MAGA folks are all over the place and are typically only single-issue voters.  President Trump winning and the rise of his supporters also gave rise to whackos on the Left side of the aisle. 

Socialism sounds great until you run out of other people’s money

I call their movement MEGA.  As in MEGA sized government.  They have their supporters. 

I recall the day when Gavin Newsom, the mayor of San Francisco, was a left-wing whacko; however, the names above make him look almost sane.  I think that is the whole point of his candidacy for President. 

I work with someone who openly declares the above group needs to be voted out and shut up.  This could not be more stupid, but when you can only repeat what info Sean Hannity gives you, I’m not surprised.  Crockett is a nut, AOC is usually spouting off garbage that is not remotely true, and outside her enclave of New York City, she is basically unelectable.  Omar loves defending Somalians who are ripping off our government; it’s actually quite laughable.  None of those mentioned so far would bit’sllowed in the Democrat party years ago, but like the GOP, they have changed and not for the better. 

Mamdani on the other hand is a totally different brand of crazy. One who may well take down some Democrats in New York and possibly nationwide.  Mamdani ,during a heavy snow fall, did not open the warming centers in New York City. As a result, 19 homeless people froze to death.  Maybe this is their way of handling the homeless now that their plans have mostly been exposed as a grift.  Mamdani has now gone after the governor of New York, in essence, with a threat of a large property tax increases if she doesn’t levy a tax on billionaires.  Folks, a tax on property will be devastating to New York City.

Check it out…

In 2026, the average annual property tax in New York City is approximately $10,311, with an effective tax rate of about 1.90% for a typical home. While New York State’s average effective rate is 1.45%, NYC often has a higher tax burden, with median bills often exceeding $6,500-$12,000 depending on location and property type.

Increasing that will cause a large number of people to leave the City, not to mention the exodus already taking place.

Mamdani’s ideas, as stated above, make Gavin Newsom look like a moderate in comparison.  Heck, all of the above electeds are starting to make Gavin look and sound reasonable.  As a result, I would suggest to fellow Republicans, keep those electeds in power.  Depending on the tea leaves you read, the election and control of Congress may hang in the balance…. Why not give us an edge based on the comments made by these crazies?  Heck, I would toss a camera and a microphone in front of each of them daily to get their latest political takes.

No liberal wardrobe at the State of the Union Show is complete without the “Fuck ICE” button

Silence them at your own peril.  The target of these political types are the broke, uneducated, criminal types, and illegal aliens.  Not a group I would want to ally with.  My prediction, Mamdani spends New York City into a fiscal cliff of epic proportions in a couple years!  Tie the milestone around the necks of the far Left!  Heck even the center Left. I want to make known just how whacky these types are.

Nothing like yelling “K.K.K.” to show respect for your adopted country

The Chief

PS my rational is because we have some whackos on our side as well.  The fewer on our side the better.  Oh, having the Broad Squad wearing “Fuck ICE” buttons and yelling “K.K.K.” at the State of the Union speech last night was really classy as well.

Minnesota Mayhem is the 2026 Campaign

Above: Minnesota’s Samali inspired state flag.

What you are seeing in Minnesota right now is the 2026 campaign. As usual, it’s right out of the Marxist handbook. This same plan of anarchy is currently being cloned in various parts of the United States and will roll-out nationwide in the next few months unless Trump and company squash it like a bug now.

Before I get to that, I have watched the video of the nurse dude being shot. Folks, the Babylon Bee’s Not the Bee has a good timeline of the incident.

The bottom line is that it was a righteous kill.

The guy interfered with a police action.

He did not comply with lawful orders given by law enforcement.

As a result of not obeying the police, they attempted to arrest him. He resisted more.

He was maced and they tried to get him on the ground and handcuff him. He resisted more.

As they were wrestling him to the ground, the gun became visible and reportedly discharged. Simultaneously to this, a law enforcement guy yelled, “Gun”. Then the guy was shot.

Once he was no longer a threat, then the law enforcement guys tried to administer first aid to the man.

The Siig pistol that the guy had in his possession is known to accidentally discharge when dropped. So, the nurse guy could have shot, the pistol may have fallen out of his holster and discharged, or a policeman could have gotten his finger on the pistol and the struggle made it go off, or the report of the first shot being from the man’s pistol is incorrect.

In the video, the law enforcement guy lined up his shot before firing. He aimed and then fired. Given that this situation was so high profile, I don’t think he would fire without knowing it was the proper procedure in this situation.

Oh, later this little nugget came out about the protestor.

CNN reporting that Alex Pretti broke a rib during a separate altercation with federal officers a week before he was fatally shot attempting to obstruct an immigration operation.

Oh, speaking of nurses, this nurse babe posted a series of videos on how to find ICE agents on dating websites and then poison them. She was rewarded with unemployment for her sage remarks.

Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Health and the VCU Police are investigating after a nurse at the hospital made a series of videos about fighting back against federal law enforcement.

VCU anti-ICE nurse references paralytic drug in video instructing healthcare providers to ‘sabotage’ agents

“Sabotage tactic, or at least scare tactic. All the medical providers, grab some syringes with needles on the end,” she said. “Have them full of saline or succinylcholine, you know, whatever. Whatever. That will probably be a deterrent. Be safe.”

Signal Groups

First, the part nobody explains but assumes that you know already. Signal is an app that can be installed on cell phones. (There is also a PC version.) You can communicate with individuals or groups via text message or video communications. All communications on Signal are encrypted. This is to ensure privacy. Signal is used because it provides encryption, is reliable, and is not owned by one of the large Silicon Valley tech companies. Large Silicon Valley tech companies are known for cooperating with Federal warrants and the degree of privacy their products provide is suspect in some circles.

I think the command-and-control stuff that you read about is run by people using laptops or desktop computers. The machinery behind the protests is based on military warfare tactics. These guys are well financed. I think their funding is separate from anything related to Somalia “refugees” and fraudulent businesses.

I hope to demonstrate many of my claims shortly. The following are all from the Facebook page Donald Trump For President.

Minnesota Lt. Governor a Leader of Protesters

“LAWYER UP”: Former DOJ Chief of Staff Issues Grave Murder Charge Warning to Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan

The legal walls are closing in on Minnesota’s Lieutenant Governor. Following the explosive revelation that Peggy Flanagan allegedly operated as a “dispatch admin” for the radical ICE-interference network under the handle “FlanSouthside,” one of the nation’s top legal minds has issued a chilling warning about her future.

The Felony Murder Warning

Chad Mizelle, former Chief of Staff at the Trump DOJ and Acting General Counsel at DHS, stated plainly that if the Signal chat is tied to the Alex Pretti shooting, Flanagan is in “serious trouble.”

Mizelle explained the “felony murder” reality: if you are involved in a conspiracy-in this case, interfering with federal ICE operations-and someone dies as a result, every participant in that conspiracy can be charged with murder.

Mizelle clarified that the law applies even if the person who died was a member of the group, like Alex Pretti. Being the “admin” of the coordination network makes the legal liability inescapable.

From “Direct Action” to Federal Indictment

As the dispatch admin, “Flan Southside” allegedly oversaw the real-time tracking and doxxing of federal officers at locations like McDonald’s and local apartment complexes, creating the violent friction that led to the fatal shooting.

Mizelle’s warning underscores that being a sitting Lieutenant Governor does not grant immunity for participating in a criminal conspiracy to obstruct federal law enforcement.

In a blunt message to the State Capitol, Mizelle advised, “LG Flanagan better lawyer up. She may have some federal agents who want to talk to her … “

The “ICE Watch” isn’t a game anymore-it’s a potential murder case. When the second-highest official in the state is caught running the switchboard for a mob that gets people killed, the federal government has a duty to act.

Minnesota State Representative in Leadership Role

THE RESISTANCE CONNECTION: Startling new revelations have emerged connecting the fatal shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti to high-level organizational efforts within the Minnesota state legislature.

Reports indicate that Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse shot by federal agents on Saturday, was an active member of the anti-ICE “Signal” chats used to coordinate rapid responses and track federal agents across Minneapolis.

The Man Behind the Chat

State Rep. Alex Falconer: The freshman DFL legislator from District 49A has publicly admitted to leading these “rapid response networks”.

Falconer, who describes himself as a “community organizer at heart,” uses the Signal app to recruit residents into a “resistance network”.

Falconer has been vocal about his involvement, offering resources to help families “impede” ICE, providing legal help, and even offering to move cars for those afraid of being targeted while plowing apartment lots.

Members of Falconer’s Signal groups are instructed to send alerts when they see “suspicious vehicles” or known federal agents.

On the morning he was killed, news of the ICE operation near Nicollet and 26th was reportedly transmitted across these very rapid response networks, drawing protesters-including Pretti-to the scene.

While Falconer frames the groups as a way to “look out for one another,” federal critics argue these networks are being used to intentionally obstruct and harass officers carrying out lawful duties.

Representative Falconer’s open participation in these “resistance” chats has drawn intense scrutiny, as he concurrently serves on the Commerce and Education Policy committees.

As the BCA investigates the shooting, questions are mounting about whether state-level officials are using their positions to incite dangerous confrontations between citizens and federal law enforcement.

Meanwhile on Signal Groups

“THE FEDS ARE ALL IN HERE”: The Moment the Radical “ICE Watch” Signal Chat Realized They Were Infiltrated

The digital fortress of the radical left in Minneapolis is crumbling. Leaked screenshots from the encrypted Signal group “WARD 4 N MPLS RR ALERTS” reveal a state of absolute panic as agitators realized their “trusted” network for tracking federal agents had been breached by law enforcement.

At 11:13 AM, a user named “John Dough” dropped the bombshell that sent the group into a tailspin:”

The Feds are all in here.” This realization triggered a massive exodus, with dozens of participants- including users like “Gerbs,” “Big Dog,” and “Kovala Bear”-immediately fleeing the group.

Group admins like “Livid” desperately tried to lock down the chatter, pleading with members to move all non-essential messages to “patrol or community hubs.” They acknowledged that a “large amount of trolls” had infiltrated the chat, despite their claims of “actively monitoring” and keeping the network secure.

Before the mass exit, the chat was a breeding ground for radical threats. A user named “Communist Krusher” openly threatened to “snatch you up and take you to the lake” and throw people in, while others used slurs and told “trolls” that they would be “going to jail.”

The “Signal” for Obstruction

The “WARD 4” chat served as a primary dispatch for “Rapid Response” requests-the tactical coordination used to physically “impede” and “block” ICE and Border Patrol agents during lawful operations.

This infiltration follows the exposure of “FlanSouthside” (Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan) as a fellow Signal admin. The realization that federal agents are now inside these groups suggests that the “Criminal COVER UP” at the highest levels of the Walz administration is being systematically dismantled from the inside out.

With the “Feds” now monitoring their every move, the radical left’s ability to coordinate “direct action” and doxx federal agents in real-time has been severely compromised.

When the “revolution” is being live-streamed to federal agents, the game is over. The panic inside the Ward 4 Signal chat proves that these agitators know their “coordination” is a federal crime.

Minnesota is an Insurgency

Former Special Forces Warrant Officer gives his take on Minnesota protests: “What’s unfolding in Minneapolis right now isn’t ‘protest.’ It’s low-level insurgency infrastructure, built by people who’ve clearly studied the playbook.”

[As a former Special Forces Warrant Officer with multiple rotations running counterinsurgency ops -both hunting insurgents and trying to separate them from sympathetic populations-I’ve seen organized resistance up close. From Anbar to Helmand, the pattern is familiar: spotters, cutouts, dead drops (or modern equivalents), disciplined comms, role specialization, and a willingness to absorb casualties while bleeding the stronger force slowly.

What’s unfolding in Minneapolis right now isn’t “protest.” It’s low-level insurgency infrastructure, built by people who’ve clearly studied the playbook.

Signal groups at 1,000-member cap per zone. Dedicated roles: mobile chasers, plate checkers logging vehicle data into shared databases, 24/7 dispatch nodes vectoring assets, SALUTE-style reporting (Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, Equipment) on suspected federal vehicles. Daily chat rotations and timed deletions to frustrate forensic recovery. Vetting processes for new joiners. Mutual aid from sympathetic locals (teachers providing cover, possible PD tip-offs on license plate lookups). Home-base coordination points. Rapid escalation from observation to physical obstruction-or worse.

This isn’t spontaneous outrage. This is C2 (command and control) with redundancy, OPSEC hygiene, and task organization that would make a SF team sergeant nod in recognition. Replace “ICE agents” with “occupying coalition forces” and the structure maps almost 1:1 to early-stage urban cells we hunted in the mid-2000s.

The most sobering part? It’s domestic. Funded, trained (somewhere), and directed by people who live in the same country they’re trying to paralyze law enforcement in. When your own citizens build and operate this level of parallel intelligence and rapid-response network against federal officers- complete with doxxing, vehicle pursuits, and harassment that’s already turned lethal-you’re no longer dealing with civil disobedience. You’re facing a distributed resistance that’s learned the lessons of successful insurgencies: stay below the kinetic threshold most of the time, force over-reaction when possible, maintain popular support through narrative, and never present a single center of gravity.

I spent years training partner forces to dismantle exactly this kind of apparatus. Now pieces of it are standing up in American cities, enabled by elements of local government and civil society. That should keep every thinking American awake at night.

Not because I want escalation. But because history shows these things don’t de-escalate on their own once the infrastructure exists and their own once the infrastructure exists and the cadre believe they’re winning the information war.

We either recognize what we’re actually looking at -or we pretend it’s still just “activism” until the structures harden and spread.

Your call, America. But from where I sit, this isn’t January 2026 politics anymore.

It’s phase one of something we’ve spent decades trying to keep off our own soil.]

Liberals Hunting for Trouble

The Irony of the Minnesota Whistle-Blowers A viral video is calling out the total absurdity of the “resistance” in Minnesota, where activists are spending their days hunting down federal agents just to scream for attention. The message is clear: if you have to go looking for your “oppressors” in your car with a “cute little whistle,” you might not be the victim you claim to be.

Man says “Okay, so let me get this straight.

Liberals in Minnesota waking up every day, getting in their cars with their little cute whistles, hunting down ICE agents. And when they find said ICE agents, on their free will, they then interfere with federal agents, on top of trying to ID normal civilians because they think said normal civilian might be ICE agents. Wait, you’re oppressed how, again? Like, okay, wait, wait, let’s back up. You’re a victim how, again? Because, listen, my man, no time ever … Minnesota fatigue is real. No time ever in human history, people who were oppressed by the state or any government, at no time, did it ever occur to them, “Hey, let’s get in my car and let’s go find our oppressors. We’ll blow our whistles at them and honk at them. Over here, oppress me! Me, me, me, me, me, me! I’m oppressable!” Like, what the f** k? Somebody please make this shit make sense!”

My Thoughts

My point in posting this stuff is twofold, as always, big tech has a way of making this stuff go away, typically by removing it from the Internet or burying it via their search algorithms, and secondly to show context instead of just a pull quote in a vacuum.

This protest is well funded, well organized, and being replicated all over the country. This is a Marxist revolution on steroids. It very much reminds me of the domestic terror groups in the 1970’s that blew up police stations and really loved car bombings.

Trump has forced the Democrats to fight for their lives instead of just rollover like the rest of the Republicans that were ok with their extinction via unchecked immigration and the “Great Replacement”. I will say bluntly that if Trump fails, the Republic that was America is over. Will he get credit for saving the country? Nope, but he definitely can prolong its existence.

My final comment is that if Elon Musk had not defunded USAID, then tens of thousands of paid protesters would be torching the country right now and Congressional Republicans would be negotiating away our freedom to keep their lousy jobs doing nothing.
