Armed, masked, undertrained ICE agents are going door to door, ordering people to point out where their neighbors of color live.
They’re pulling over people indiscriminately, including U.S. citizens, and demanding to see their papers.
And at grocery stores, at bus stops, even at schools, they’re breaking windows, dragging pregnant women down the street, just plain grabbing Minnesotans and shoving them into unmarked vans, kidnapping innocent people with no warning and no due process.
Let’s be very, very clear: This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement.
Instead, it is a campaign of organized brutality against the people of Minnesota by our own federal government.
But then later on in the speech, he says this.
Donald Trump wants chaos.
He wants confusion.
And, yes, he wants more violence on our streets.
We cannot give him what he wants.
We can – we must – protest: loudly, urgently, but also peacefully.
Indeed, as hard as we will fight in the courts and at the ballot box, we cannot, and will not, let violence prevail.
As we have witnessed over the past several years, there are enough mentally fragile people out there who are going to hear those words and take them to heart. So when Walz flatly accuses ICE of racial profiling American citizens and the roughing them up and then later says he doesn't want violence, that is the equivalent of lighting the fuse of an M80 but not wanting a loud explosion.
Like in his speech at Shiloh Temple the week of Christmas, Walz is inciting violence. So when he insists that's actually what Trump wants, you now know he's simply projecting.
- If you're wondering why Minnesota (specifically the metropolitan area) has become such a prog cesspool, it's because this vacuous dork was the state party leader for more than a decade.
From Tehran to my birthplace of Minneapolis, people are rising up against systems that wield violence without accountability.

In Iran, brave protestors confront a far-right theocratic regime that crushes dissent and denies basic freedoms. Here at home, tens of thousands are…
When receiving pushback, Kenny, now the chair of the Democrat National Committee, doubled down.
If comparing the U.S. to Iran makes you angry, ask why. Killing protesters. Crushing dissent. Kidnapping and disappearing legal citizens. Ignoring courts. Threatening critics. Terrorizing communities. That’s authoritarian behavior—anywhere. If you’re rushing to defend it, maybe… https://t.co/nh6krxBHul

Check out the tweet thread of Ali Bradley, who lists the rap sheets of the many violent criminals ICE has rounded up in their operations in Minnesota. These are the people who Ken and his ilk believe are "victims."
- Scott Adams, creator of the Dilbert comic strip, passed away this week after a bout with prostate cancer. He was 68 years old.
National Review's Dan McLaughlin paid tribute to Adams' genius last year when it was announced he had metastatic prostate cancer.
But what was so fresh about Dilbert, and helped make it a sensation with Gen Xers entering the workplace in the 1990s, was its unflinching cynicism and misanthropy, combined with how Adams drew on his own experiences and a steady stream of reader emails to flesh out his critiques of the corporate world. For previous generations, a white-collar career was supposed to be a better version of the American Dream than blue-collar factory work — the thing for which a generation of kids were sent to college — as well as a peacetime refuge from the bureaucracy-ridden military service that defined young manhood in the 1940s and 1950s. But Adams drew a new and vivid portrait that stripped away those illusions.
The world of Dilbert was one of workplaces full of unattractive, self-interested, unhappy people in which nobody knew what they were doing, meetings were endless and pointless, management spoke in buzzwords they didn’t understand, nobody cared about the customer, people socialized with coworkers only to kill time, and nothing ever really changed or improved. The strip satirized every trend in the corporate world: reorganizations, mission statements, product development and launches, outsourcing, budgeting shenanigans, you name it. Built around a doughy, bespectacled, girlfriend-less engineer, it surfed the office and personal technology trends of the decades from the golden age of the fax machine to the era of smartphones and social media. Unlike working-class hero bards of prior generations, Adams made his workers little more sympathetic than their bosses.
Adams came back into consciousness nearly ten years ago when he predicted that Donald Trump would not only be the GOP nominee for President but that he would defeat Hillary Clinton in the general. He was the first high profile name I was aware of who went out on such a limb. And because he switched his endorsement from Clinton to Trump, you can probably guess how his death was reported on.

🚨 People Magazine is a total disgrace!

Both died of cancer, yet look at the headlines:
OJ Simpson: Dead at 76 From Cancer, Family Announces
Scott Adams: Disgraced Dilbert Creator, Dies at 68
Same cause of death. Totally different tone. pic.twitter.com/lC1w8CBmkz
Regardless, I truly hope Scott accepted Jesus as his savior, which he vowed to do near the end of his life.
