Greetings, Dear Reader,
Last night on the drive home, I was telling my wife that as I watched the events in Minneapolis unfold, I couldn’t get one particular Bible verse out of my head.
“You shall know them by their fruits.”
We’re going to get after it, but first …
BETTER GEAR. BETTER TIME.
The new Winter collection of ALP merch has officially arrived.
DEAR TRUMP, THE TIME HAS COME
Mayor Jacob Frey says his constituency wants him to deploy Minneapolis law enforcement “to fight” ICE in the streets.
His police chief looked absolutely sick to his stomach as Frey announced his citizenry’s desire to make civil war a reality.
“Enter ye in at the narrow gate: For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction.”
Frey’s comments follow Gov. Tim Walz issuing a “warning order” to the Minnesota National Guard to prepare to deploy to Minneapolis. He was careful about his statement on the matter, noting that they would be deployed to “protect” protesters. Perhaps all they’d do is cordon off ICE operations. That would help. I’m not apt to be that charitable to Walz, though. Like much of the political right, I take his statement as a threat to interdict legitimate federal operations.
Perhaps both Walz and Frey are looking for anything to distract from the burgeoning fraud investigations occurring in their front yard. If even half of it is true – that Walz knew and suppressed investigations, that members of the administration doctored documents, that Keith Ellison is literally on tape promising to end investigations into donors – then it’s at least possible old Twinkle Toes eats quite the shit sandwich.
“By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?”
In the meantime, federal officials have discovered that some $700 million in cash, almost certainly sourced to fraudulent activity, was exiting the country bound for Somalia at the Minneapolis Airport. That’s just what was reported, by the way. The number could be an order of magnitude higher. Coincidentally, some 2,500 Somalis work at Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport handling baggage.
It couldn’t possibly be that the airport has become a de facto satellite for illicit exfiltration of ill-gotten funds for various militant groups in Somalia.
Further down the political food chain, you’ve got the citizens of Minneapolis. Have you ever seen a more mentally ill bunch?
Kaden Remmler, 21, will never see out of his left eye again. It was destroyed after an ICE agent fired a less-than-lethal round point-blank into his face.
Sounds bad. But wait, what happened? Remmler is on video charging an agent who was arresting a violent protester in Minneapolis. It was an attempt to “de-arrest” as outlined in neo-Marxist militant literature that’s being passed around the city.
That’s not all: Remmler isn’t a “he.” Remmler was once a normal girl until she was polluted by transgender ideology. She’s now a castrated young girl on male hormones, larping as a man. She’ll be a lifelong patient, on drugs and therapy forever. She’s also down one eye.
Like thousands of people in Minneapolis, she fell into the thrall of militants and Democrats who don’t actually give a lick about her welfare. She’s a soldier in a morally bankrupt war to plunder the treasure of America, recruited and deployed by people with that end in mind.
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”
Remmler is just the latest black saint of the left. Before her was Renee Good, who was such a bad mother that she lost custody of her two oldest kids. She followed that up by orphaning the only child in her custody, a six-year-old, because she was under the misguided impression that impeding ICE officials was a riskless endeavor with nothing but social upside.
“Why were you using real bullets?!” Her delusional wife shrieked after the shooting stopped. The same woman was confidently heckling an ICE agent just moments earlier, before her unreality was shattered.
Why would anyone expect federal agents to be carrying fake ammunition? Have you perused lib TikTok lately? They’re all violently delusional. Some are literally filming themselves in their cars screaming at the top of their lungs and crying. All because ICE wants to deport illegal aliens and violent criminals (actions that poll exceedingly well nationally).
Violence hit an absolute peak yesterday in the city. Militants destroyed federal vehicles, ripping a gun safe out of the trunk of one car and making off with the weapons inside. One of the perpetrators who stole a rifle ended up being a literal member of the Latin Kings gang.
I say this without reservation: Mr. Trump, the city is lost. It’s corrupted from top to bottom. From Walz, Ellison and Frey all the way to mentally deranged lesbian moms teaming up with gang members to attack federal law enforcement.
None of this is good and no good will come of this. You’ve lost control. Now is the moment to set the precedent.
“A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire.”
Musk is calling for Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act. Tom Homan says he’s meeting Trump to discuss invoking the Act.
Minneapolis needs to be the example. It’s not possible to go too hard. Bat aside Walz and Frey. Send in the troops. Purge the city. Tens of thousands deported. Thousands denaturalized and deported. Tens of thousands arrested and imprisoned. Work your way from both ends. Investigate and arrest the bureaucrats that allowed all this. Investigate and arrest the groups responsible for corrupting the population. Imprison their transgender, lesbian and gang-affiliated militias.
Nothing in this tree is good. Its fruit is so clearly vile.
Cast it into the fire.
“And everyone that heareth these my words, and doth them not, shall be like a foolish man that built his house upon sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof.”
That’s it for the free portion of today’s State of the Day.
