The media and social interactions are all about the weather!
-
Two thousand US miles of snow, sleet, ice, rain, hard-frost and then it gets bad!
-
The famous quote, "Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it," is widely and mistakenly attributed to Mark Twain. It was actually written by his friend and collaborator, Charles Dudley Warner, in an editorial in the Hartford Courant on August 27, 1897. The phrase highlights the tendency to complain about inevitable conditions.

The antigovernment anti-Ice mobs that have taken over the streets, businesses, homes and now a church have become indistinguishable from the Nazi Brown Shirts of 1938.

DOJ says it will ‘pursue charges’ against Don Lemon, anti-ICE protesters for St. Paul church invasion
https://nypost.com/2026/01/20/us-news/doj-hints-at-charges-against-don-lemon-for-st-paul-church-invasion/
The Department of Justice will “pursue charges” against the anti-ICE agitators who invaded a Sunday church service in St. Paul, including disgraced former CNN reporter Don Lemon, who feebly attempted to cloak his participation in the chaos as an “act of journalism.”
Assistant attorney general for civil rights Harmeet Dhillon told conservative podcaster Benny Johnson that the department “will pursue charges” related to the incident in which families and children were terrorized by a screaming mob of protesters at Cities Church.
-What a stark contrast to the 'uneventful' millions of deportations by Clinton and Obama!

Hitler formed the 'Brown Shirts" in Munich in 1921, drawing membership from violent anti-leftist and anti-democratic former soldiers (including the Freikorps) in order to lend muscle to the young Nazi Party, using them like a private army to intimidate opponents. According to the Nuremberg Military Tribunal, the SA was ‘a group composed in large part of ruffians and bullies’. -

Spanberger scraps Youngkin’s ICE cooperation order on first day in office
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/immigration/4423068/spanberger-scraps-ice-cooperation-order-first-day/
Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) has already scrapped an executive order from former Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin that furthered state law enforcement’s collaboration with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, saying it was “not an appropriate use of state or local resources.”
Spanberger, who was sworn in on Saturday as Virginia’s first female governor, issued a superseding executive order that canceled Youngkin’s directive.
-
Youngkin issued his order last year to “improve the safety of all Virginians by maximizing our collaboration with the federal government to enforce immigration law” in the state and use “all available methods to facilitate the arrest and deportation of inadmissible and removable criminal illegal immigrants.”

A car, like a gun, can be a deadly device – to wit:
In 2024, approximately 44,400 people died from gun-related injuries in the United States.
A total of 40,901 people died in motor vehicle crashes in 2023.

Minneapolis women “decided” to run-over US ICE Agents with her deadly weapon car --- this was clearly Not an accident!
-
The Targeted ICE Agent was struck and dragged, by the hood-grill of the car, and only then fired his weapon, through the windshield, killing the felonious driver.
-
Left-wing media are now lionizing the felonious attempted-murderer driver.
Anti-ICE mayor and governor and rioters blame ICE for the incident.
It’s difficult to comprehend how far from responsible, elected leaders have fallen.
It is difficult to comprehend how far Minneapolis has fallen from its Scandinavian roots!

“Killed by ICE” ---- Really!
This is the disgusting manner AOL & Roanoke Times presented the “news”:

U.S. strikes Venezuela and captures President Maduro; Trump says "we're going to run the country" for now

Trump’s Maduro capture supported by precedent and U.S. Constitution,

“President Trump said Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife were "captured and flown out of the Country" early Saturday morning, confirming a "large scale strike" by the U.S. that drew quick condemnation and concern from across the globe.
Mr. Trump said in a press conference that the U.S. would "run" Venezuela on a temporary basis during the transition, and "get the oil flowing."
The U.S. Army's Delta Force, an elite special forces unit, carried out the operation to capture Maduro, officials told CBS News.
Maduro is expected to face federal charges in the U.S. related to drug trafficking and working with gangs designated as terrorist organizations, which Maduro denies. Attorney General Pam Bondi shared a superseding indictment similar to one filed against Maduro in 2020.”

The House Oversight Committee has opened a probe into Gov. Tim Walz's handling of a massive relief program in Minnesota that federal prosecutors say devolved into the largest COVID-19 fraud scheme in the country.
-
"Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was warned about massive fraud in a pandemic food-aid program for children, yet he failed to act," Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital.
"Instead, whistleblowers who raised concerns faced retaliation," Comer added. "Because of Governor Walz’s negligence, criminals — including Somali terrorists — stole nearly $1 billion from the program while children suffered.
The House Oversight Committee will conduct a thorough investigation into Governor Walz’s failure to safeguard taxpayer dollars."

Afgan War OnGoing-
As a youngster I saw WW2 Vets come home with massive injuries and mental and physical injury issues.
Many made regular visits to the VA Hospital in Albany to remove shrapnel from their bodies.
Many spent time in rehab for what was described as “shell shock”.
The same issues were relived for Korea and Vietnam and the Desert Storm Veterans.
-
The recent shooting of two National Guard soldiers in DC by an Afgan War US-Collaborator now raises the specter of importing allied soldiers with major issues and or conflicting loyalties.

God and the soldier we adore
