In The Shadow Of Mt Hollywood

Vice President Vance's X post saying the Minneapolis case is unique because it involves far-left agitators working with local authorities isn't really on the mark: local auithorities have been complicit in the migrant fraud business model everywhere. For instance, I linked to this reporter's conclusions about the Springfield, OH Haitians in a September, 2024 post here : My investigation discovered a long rotten beam extending from the Mayor down to NGOs, pastors, corporations, and local mediocrities looking to make a fast buck. Everyone is on the take. And Springfield is not an outlier. It is a standard example of local partnerships with federal and corporate resettlement programs working together to profit themselves. In this post , I linked to a story that suggests the Springfield police were complicit in not enforcing traffic laws against unlicensed Haitian drivers: An Ohio police chief says his access to Springfield’s police radio frequency was cut off ...

Predictably, Real Clear Politics this morning is gengerly tiptoeing through an it's-not-clear-what-happened-both-sides-are-at-fault narrative. From their link to The Wall Street Journal : Videos of the incident appear to show that before the shooting, Pretti was filming federal agents, something that has become common in Minneapolis as citizen observers document ICE actions. Agents appeared to spray a chemical irritant at him and another person. In the milliseconds before shots were fired, it was less clear what happened during a scuffle in which Pretti was on the ground, surrounded by multiple agents. Then they dug up an X post from sometime never Trumper Erick Erickson , whom they never ordinarily link: (5) I think Tim Walz and Jacob Frey have made the situation far worse and destabilized by amping up white progressives and refusing to assist immigration agents. (6) I think Kristi Noem and Greg Bovino have made the situation far worse by being unrestrained in how th...

I've noticed a steady trickle of stories about how Somali fraud businesses in Maine seem to be emulating the same overall pattern of those in Minnesota: 🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Journalist finds $2M "home health" center in Maine located next to a SOMALI MONEY WIRING SERVICE They don't even freaking hide it. In one building, TEN businesses are home health. Nobody is ever there. They are funded by our tax dollars. IT'S FRAUD. "That's a… pic.twitter.com/w5TPHk9C3x — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) January 21, 2026 ICE seems to be belatedly on the case: As ICE Begins Enforcement Raids in Maine, New Allegations of Somali Fraud Emerge : Somali-led fraud is a nationwide epidemic. Minnesota is the epicenter due to excellent reporting from Nick Shirley and the shooting of Renee Nicole Good, who was killed after she tried to ram an ICE agent in Minneapolis. But Washington State, Ohio, and Maine also have fraud issues, and now ICE is heading north The piece quote...

🚨 Byron York nails Trump’s Greenland play: Classic Art of the Deal! “He asks for ten times what he wants, the other side freaks out, huge news cycle, back & forth, then they settle for what they could’ve had day one.” Trump always wins! pic.twitter.com/mC4aMf0Pms — Gunther Eagleman™ (@GuntherEagleman) January 22, 2026 So, did Trump have a good week or a bad one? Scott Pinsker at PJ Media : By overwhelming numbers, the American public doesn’t like Trump’s Greenland policy or approach. His polling is in the toilet. . . . With U.S. opinion polls so dismal, Trump is in a difficult spot. Perhaps there’s a way out — and perhaps a deal can happen. Perhaps we’re just one handshake away from Denmark giving us Greenland. But despite yesterday’s blockbuster announcement, I doubt it. The Danes won’t just give Greenland away; they’ll almost certainly demand trillions of dollars and an irrevocable war guarantee. Why is anyone talking about "the polls" at this stage? Bac...

Via The Pillar : The archbishop of the U.S. military services said Sunday that he does not believe military action to take control of Greenland could be justified – and that U.S. troops in good conscience could refuse orders to do so. Speaking to the BBC on Jan. 18. Archbishop Timothy Broglio of the Archdiocese for the Military Services said he “cannot see any circumstances” in which an American military operation to take control of Greenland or another ally’s territory could fulfill the criteria for a just war. Asked whether he is concerned about Catholics serving in the military who might be asked to participate in a military operation to take control of Greenland, Broglio responded, “I am obviously worried, because they could be put in a situation where they’re being ordered to do something which is morally questionable.” In this case, I think Abp Broglio is obscuring the difference between a clearly illegal order and one that a particular individual may feel violates ...

From Don Surber Monday : The frenemy countries want NATO to stand up to the United States. This is laughable because the USA created NATO after the Eurocide of World War II. NATO was an excuse for America to place troops along the Iron Curtain. The curtain fell but the troops are still there. Hey, we are not immune to idiocy. However, Denmark, France and Germany act like they invented idiocy. This weekend’s warrior cosplay by the mousey mites on the ice in Greenland was farcical. Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto said, “Imagine 15 Italians, 15 French, 15 Germans in Greenland. This seems like the beginning of a joke.” Just this morning : European opposition ⁠to President Donald Trump's bid to acquire Greenland and his proposed "Board of Peace" initiative has disrupted plans for an economic support package for postwar Ukraine, the Financial Times reported ‍on Wednesday. A planned announcement of an $800 billion prosperity ‍plan to be agreed...

INTENT: The opening to Don Lemon’s insane livestream is an admission of foreknowledge that the group he was in contact with was going to storm a church, based on his prior communications with its leader. pic.twitter.com/g0GVHB4871 — Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) January 19, 2026 It's intriguing that two high-profile leaders of the Minnesota ICE riots are has-beens, Tim Walz, who ended his reelection campaign after revelations of Somali fraud, and Don Lemon, who was fired by CNN in 2023 : Don Lemon landed in hot water earlier this year after comments he made about Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley, a former UN ambassador and governor of South Carolina. Ms Haley was not "in her prime", Lemon said in February, a remark widely decried as sexist. . . . "I'm just saying what the facts are - Google it," he added, in response to objections from his female co-hosts, Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins. Lemon issued a statement on the same day sayi...
