I wish more media would cover the Minnesota Occupation for the failure that it was. Not only did it cause enormous damage, but they couldn't even put together a top 10 dangerous dudes list. They got like 1 deportation per agent over a 3 month period. Colossal failure from a bunch of mall cop losers

When decision-makers bear no consequences, bad decisions follow. Thomas Sowell's insight captures why Cato champions accountability, limited government, and the power of free markets—where every choice carries real stakes.

Remember, these guys fired all the people who actually know what they're doing because "DEI" and then hired the absolute dumbest people imaginable because of "meritocracy" and... then they do stuff like leaving comments enabled in their "this is how we concentration camp" PDF.

Only the people who survived the pandemic are able to write shitty books about it. Those who died took their lessons with them.

Hmm. The US is giving $10 billion in taxpayer dollars, not appropriated by Congress, to a fake board set up by the President and which he put himself in charge of *for life*... seems very, very illegal.

So SCOTUS, with its fabricated-out-of-thin-air immunity doctrine, has actually made American presidents less accountable than LITERAL royalty.

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.
I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Companies reap $22bn from Trump’s immigration crackdown
Palantir and Deloitte among beneficiaries of spending by government agencies
Leading American companies — including Palantir, Deloitte, and private prison giant GEO Group — raked in over $22B from ICE and CBP contracts last year.
Do not forget who is profiting from cruelty and human suffering.

Why are so many undocumented immigrants being held in detention for so long instead of being deported?
Simple. The billionaires who own the detention centers get paid for keeping people here. They don't get paid for people who get deported.
It's not about the law, it's about taking your money.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

Largely true... and gas stations burned after small organized attacks to take lottery tickets and attempts to grab ATMs. All lumped in as protests in the mass media.
But I too heard from college friends that this was part of the uprising and I called them on their bullshit.

Yeah so... ummm... I don't always keep up with culture... I was like "oh I should listen to Lorde" and put on Royals. Now I know where Weird Al got the Foil song from. I'm so lost in this world.
Seriously though - these groups really need the support!!

Why It Took Congress Years to Pass a Bill No One Opposed
YouTube video by The Bulwark
Not everything is shit.
Congress passes the Give Kids a Chance Act. This is important.

There has to be an investigation into the many individuals who committed heinous crimes alongside Epstein.
There should be a special prosecutor, or a congressional investigation, that looks into the crimes and the ongoing cover-up. It has to happen.

I think all these men who benefited financially from proximity to Epstein POST CONVICTION OF PEDOPHILIA should have to pay reparations to his victims, whether they abused women and children or not.
They all knew what was going on, and help legitimize him with their association.
