How is ICE doing in Minnesota? (Pretti Good)

 

There is this meme going around.

Sure it's rage-bait. 

But I don't remember the left caring a tinker's damn about Charlie Kirk's cold blooded murder. Nor do I recall them even mentioning a single time anything about Asli Babbitt, the unarmed protester who was gunned down on January 6th. Nor do I remember hearing anything by them at all about Laken Riley or Natalie Nungaray (two of the MANY women slaughtered by Illegal immigrant criminals). 

So the out-of-whack pity parties and hand-wringing and lamentations going on over these two morons who were tragically killed rings a little hollow to me. Sorry, not sorry!

Is it sad they died? Yes.

Is it a tragedy? Yes. 

Is it the worst tragedy of all time? No.

Was it murder? No.

Is anyone happy about them being killed? No.

The fact is, though, they were the victims of their own poor choices. Motivated by blind hatred and hopelessly manipulated by self-serving leaders, they went out and got themselves killed. And for what? To protect illegal criminal scum from being lawfully arrested and deported. Amazing.

In the Pretti case, the person ICE was there to pick up, Jose Huerta-Chuma, ultimately escaped capture during the chaos. By the way, I guarantee you he wasn't on his way to Bible Study class.

So basically Alex Pretti did all that nonsense, and got himself killed, defending this scumbag. The blood of whoever this guy hurts or kills in the future will be on the hands of those idiots in Minneapolis. How sad. Do you think the Governor and Mayor really care about Good and Pretti? Hell no. Why? Because they are martyrs for a greater cause. The destruction of Donald Trump.

===================================================================

While the core feeling—the "need to fit in"—remains the same as it was decades ago, the digital medium changes the intensity and the scale through several key factors:

• The Highlight Reel Effect: Users are constantly bombarded with "perfect" versions of their peers' lives. This creates a distorted reality where one's own average day feels inadequate compared to a peer's vacation, outfit, or social outing.

• Quantifiable Validation: Metrics like likes, views, and follower counts act as a public "scoreboard." A lack of engagement can feel like a social rejection, pressuring users to post specific content just to "earn" digital status.

• The Fear of Missing Out (FOMO): Seeing real-time updates of events one wasn't invited to (or can't afford to attend) creates a sense of social isolation and a desperate urge to replicate those experiences.

• Algorithmic Homogenization: Platforms suggest content that looks like what everyone else is doing. This nudges users toward a "mainstream" aesthetic in everything from home decor to facial features.

The Evolutionary Foundation

For our ancestors, being part of a tribe was a survival strategy. Solitude meant vulnerability to predators, starvation, and the elements.

• The "Social Brain": Evolution prioritized brains that could read social cues, cooperate, and maintain bonds.

• The Pain of Exclusion: Neurobiological studies show that social rejection activates the same regions of the brain as physical pain (the anterior cingulate cortex). Your brain treats being "left out" as a physical threat to your safety.

The Modern Dilemma: Belonging vs. Fitting In

There is a vital distinction between true belonging and the "fitting in" often seen in social media propelled peer pressure:

• Fitting In: This is hustling for worthiness. It requires changing who you are to be accepted by a group. It is a "hollow" belonging that actually increases anxiety because you fear the group will find out you are an "imposter."

• True Belonging: This is the spiritual practice of believing in and belonging to yourself so fully that you can share your authentic self with the world. It doesn't require you to be like everyone else; it requires you to be you.

The Consequences of "Un-belonging"

When the need to belong is thwarted—whether through social isolation, ostracization, or the "digital loneliness" of being surrounded by people online but feeling unknown—the results are physically and mentally taxing:

• Increased Cortisol: Chronic loneliness keeps the body in a "fight or flight" state.

• Cognitive Decline: Lack of social stimulation is a risk factor for accelerated cognitive aging.

• Decreased Immunity: People with strong social ties have been shown to have more robust immune responses than those who are isolated.

=====================================================================

When a leader uses their influence to bypass the legal system and encourage "street justice" or chaos, it is generally categorized under these specific terms:

What is Incitement? (Legal/Criminal Term)

This is the most direct term. Incitement occurs when a leader’s speech is "directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action" and is likely to produce such action. In a legal context, it is the act of provoking or "egging on" a crowd to commit crimes, violence, or property damage.

What is Demagoguery? (Political Term)

A demagogue is a leader who gains popularity by exploiting the prejudices, emotions, and ignorance of the common people rather than using rational argument.

• The Manipulation: Demagogues often frame the "street action" as the only way to save the country or achieve justice.

• The Goal: They manipulate the human need to belong (as we discussed) to create an "us vs. them" mentality, making lawlessness feel like a heroic or necessary act for the "in-group."

What is Ochlocracy? (The Result)

If a leader successfully manipulates the public into practicing lawlessness in the streets, the resulting state of society is called Ochlocracy (pronounced: ok-LOK-ruh-see), or Mob Rule.

• This is a government or situation controlled by a mob or a mass of people who have bypassed the established laws and due process.

The bottom line is that you MUST remember: Fighting with cops can get you killed.

There is a couple of lessons here for all of us. 

#1. DON'T INTERFERE WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS WHILE THEY ARE WORKING. It could be very very very hazardous to your health.

#2. DON'T ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE MANIPULATED INTO DYING FOR A POLITICIAN'S LAME-ASS CAUSE!

After all, how can you say "Hey, I disagree with the level of force you used." if you are DEAD?? Is it really worth it? Ask the parents and loved ones of Pretti and Good. I'll bet they would prefer they did not do what it was that they did.

So, if you want to protest, cool. Go to the court house and wave a sign. Literally no one will bother you. But PLEASE don't obstruct and interfere with Law-Enforcement in the line of duty. And don't assault them. If  you do, there could be fatal consequences.

Thanks!

The Alex Pretti case

 

So here we have killing #2 on the ledger of the leftist leaders in Minnesota that have manipulated simpletons into going out into the streets and rioting. Not protesting. RIOTING! Crazy.

There are simple, easily manipulated people out there. They get passionate about their viewpoint. They get radicalized. They do things they would not have done on their own. Someone got into their head and motivated them to do terrible things.

Now we have the Alex Pretti case. This guy was an unhinged nut.

37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti was smoked by U.S. Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis on January 24, 2026 (day before yesterday). The incident has become a flashpoint in national debates over federal immigration enforcement, the Second Amendment, and government accountability.

The Incident

• The Victim: Alex Pretti was an intensive care nurse at a local Veterans Affairs hospital with no criminal record (amazingly) and a legal permit to carry a firearm (amazingly), and should have known better.

• The Confrontation: Pretti was acting as a civilian "observer," (read "agitator") filming federal agents during an immigration enforcement operation. Video footage shows him helping a woman who had been shoved to the ground by agents after being told repeatedly to stop blocking the street. Video evidence also shows Pretti physically confronting agents. He was "helping". In other words, he injected himself into a situation that was none of his business.

• The Shooting: Agents tackled Pretti as he actively resisted and pinned him to the ground. While he was being restrained, a loaded 9mm pistol was introduced into the situation. An agent removed a holstered handgun from Pretti's waistband. Pretti had a cell phone in his hand. Someone yelled "Gun!" and in 1 second, shots were fired. They ended up firing 10 shots into him. All of this occurred in a split second. Needless to say he took the street temperature challenge.

Contradicting Narratives

The case is marked by a sharp divide between some official statements and bystander video evidence:

• Government Account: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) initially labeled Pretti a "domestic terrorist" and an "assassin," claiming he "approached with a handgun" (true) and "violently resisted" (true) before agents fired in self-defense (disputed but apparently true). 

• Video Evidence: Frame-by-frame analyses by several major news outlets (BBC, CNN, NYT - ALL left-wing biased) appeared to show that Pretti was holding a cell phone, not a gun, in his hand. Crucially, the footage indicates he was already disarmed and pinned face-down when the fatal shots were fired. A fact none of the agents who fired their guns knew in that moment. The agent that fired may have mistook the cell phone for a weapon, with fatal results.

• Split second decisions and contagious fire: The agents do not have the luxury of slow motion, frame by frame replay, multiple angles, etc. They had 1 second.  Literally 1 second to process the situation. In an officer involved shooting, there is often something called contagious fire. Everyone is keyed up. When a shot breaks, sometimes other people shoot reflexively and instinctively. It's a sad reality of situations like this. Like I said, all this happened in 1 to 2 seconds. 

The Aftermath

• Legal Action: A federal judge has issued a temporary order barring federal officials from destroying evidence, including body-camera footage. The State of Minnesota and the City of Minneapolis have filed lawsuits to limit the scope of federal "surge" operations in the state.

• Political Fallout: The Trump administration initially stood by the agents, but has recently faced bipartisan questioning—including from some Second Amendment advocates who argue Pretti was a lawful gun owner exercising his rights. However he did not have his permit, nor his ID, and he should not have gone to a protest armed, and especially should not have engaged with agents while armed. The results of those bad decisions turned out to be fatal.

• Public Outcry: The shooting occurred just weeks after the killing of another Minnesota resident, Renee Good, by federal agents. This has led to widespread protests, vigils, and calls for the withdrawal of federal personnel from Minnesota (leftists never want to miss out on exploiting a tragedy for maximum effect). But the same people who are doing all this public outcry never seemed to care at all about any of the thousands of innocent Americans who have been murdered by illegal alien criminals who were let into our country by Joe Biden's foolish open border policy. The kind of scum that ICE is trying to remove.

The case remains under investigation by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the FBI, as the White House has recently softened its rhetoric, calling the death a "tragedy" while rightly blaming local Democratic leadership for encouraging (inciting) the so-called "hostile resistance" that led to the confrontation.

During a primetime address on January 14, 2026, Governor of Minnesota "Tampon" Tim Walz directly addressed the federal administration: 

"So, tonight, let me say, once again, to Donald Trump and Kristi Noem: End this occupation. You’ve done enough."

In the same address, he characterized the surge of 2,000–3,000 agents as a campaign against the state's citizens:

"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."

He explicitly used the word "resist" when discussing mutual aid and community support:

"All across Minnesota, people are learning about opportunities not just to resist, but to help people who are in danger. Thousands upon thousands of Minnesotans are going to be relying on mutual aid... and they need our support."

Walz has repeatedly urged citizens to record federal agents, framing it as a form of resistance through documentation:

"You have an absolute right to peacefully film ICE agents as they conduct their activities. So carry your phone with you at all times... Help us create a database of the atrocities against Minnesotans—not just to establish a record for posterity, but to bank evidence for future prosecution."

Following the death of Alex Pretti on January 24, 2026, Walz framed the conflict as a choice between the state and an overreaching federal power:

"Which side do you want to be on? The side of an all-powerful federal government that could kill, injure, menace and kidnap its citizens off the streets, or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such government?"

In May 2025 Walz used this phrasing during a commencement address, stating:

"I’m gonna start with the flashing red light—Donald Trump's modern-day Gestapo is scooping folks up off the streets... They’re in unmarked vans, wearing masks, being shipped off to foreign torture dungeons."

Tampon Tim also equated what's happening in Minnesota with Anne Frank during WWII. That is another subtle Nazi reference.

Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey also has said terrible inflammatory stuff.

• On January 7, 2026, immediately following the death of Renee Good, Frey delivered a blunt message to federal officials:

  "ICE—Get the [blank] out of Minneapolis. We do not want you here. Your stated purpose for being in this City is to create some kind of safety, but you are doing exactly the opposite."

• During an appearance on Face the Nation (Jan. 18, 2026), Frey described the surge of agents as an invasion:

  "We are doing everything possible to keep the peace, notwithstanding this occupying force that has quite literally invaded our city."

• In the same interview, he challenged the federal government's stated goal of public safety:

  "This is not about safety. What this is about is coming into our city by the thousands and terrorizing people simply because they’re Latino or Somali (implying racism)."

Quotes on the Alex Pretti Case and Lawlessness

• Frey has consistently rejected federal accounts of the shootings, particularly in the Pretti case:

  "This was a federal agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying... Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly: that is bullshit."

• Following the shooting of Alex Pretti on January 24, 2026, Frey addressed President Trump directly:

  "How many more residents, how many more Americans, need to die or get badly hurt for this operation to end? ... This is not what America is about."

• Frey encouraged citizens to film federal agents as a form of transparency:

  "Taking a cell phone out and videotaping what’s going on is not enforcement, that’s transparency. You know, sunlight can be the best disinfectant, and in this case, yeah, they’re disinfecting some of the really horrible things that are taking place on our street."

This is encouraging people to impede operations. Weak-minded sheeple hear all this stuff and think they are heroically resisting evil. This is incitement.

There will be more victims. The left WANTS a high body count so they can continue to demonize Trump and get democrats elected. That is literally what this is all about. Elections. Sad really.

So yes. This is a terrible tragedy. A tragedy of their own making. And if the Governor and mayor weren't inciting this, these confrontations would have never occurred to begin with.

J6 Hypocrisy and "civil unrest"

 

So now we have the left protesting like crazy. Every single day we have protesters in the streets protesting Donald Trump. But remember, they are not protesting ICE. Not really. It's all anti-Trump. They'll claim it's about ICE but that isn't true. And, of course, the mainstream media extols them as paragons of righteous indignation. Bold heroes standing up to a power-mad tyrant. Yeah, whatever. But these are the same people who get blue in the face angry over the J6 riot. Which they called an "insurrection". Sure. 

 

What's crazy is that, when you look at J6, by their own metrics, it was a "mostly peaceful" protest. That's their term. "Mostly peaceful". But the so-called J6 incident pales in comparison to even one of the HUNDREDS of riots the left has engaged in (and is currently engaging in) whenever they don't like whatever is happening in politics. Which is mostly ANYTHING Donald Trump says or does. 

 

During J6 one person was shot to death. An unarmed Trump supporter. Have you ever heard of Ashli Babbitt? Of course not. She was a 35-year-old Air Force veteran. She was fatally shot by a U.S. Capitol Police officer while trying to climb through a broken window into the Speaker's Lobby during the riot. An event investigated by Biden's Department of Justice. They determined that the officer who shot her was justified because he felt his life was under threat. In official documents it was reported that at the time of the shooting, the officer reasonably believed that it was necessary to [shoot her] in self-defense or in defense of the Members of Congress and others evacuating the House Chamber. Case closed. 

 

Now here is the kicker. I don't know ANYONE who condones what happened. Or recommends anyone repeats what happened. Or any such thing! It is WIDELY condemned by all MAGA people and Republicans. I don't know any supporters of Trump who don't condemn the J6 rioters. 

Leading up to the J6 unrest, Trump famously said he would never concede the 2020 election and as of this writing (January 2026) he still hasn't. The leftist-Democrat-controlled media says he incited a riot, or an insurrection. This is of course poppycock. Trump was convinced, and remains convinced, that the 2020 election was stolen by some kind of malfeasance. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. It sure was an odd election to say the least.

Does that condone rioting? Nope. No way. But let's look at the double standard regarding "civil unrest". Which is a really nice way of saying rioting. So the left are always committing "civil unrest" or "civil disorder". They act like it is a right protected by the constitution. You know... we have the right to peacefully (or peaceably) assemble and petition the government for a redress of grievances. Yeah, that. It is found in the first amendment. They refuse to condemn this civil unrest. They won't do it. They claim it is their right to protest. Balderdash!

=================================================================

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

=================================================================

This is what the constitution says. Can you find in here where it talks about rioting or civil unrest being "freedom of speech"? Of course you can't. because it isn't there. It is NEVER EVER EVER okay to riot or create civil unrest to get your way. If you want to hold a sign and respectfully protest (a word that ALSO isn't in the constitution, by the way), that's fine. But there are lines we must not cross.

So, what is "civil unrest"?

"Civil unrest" refers to public disorder such as riots, protests, or strikes, resulting from widespread dissatisfaction with social, economic, or political issues disrupting peace and requiring intervention to maintain public safety, ranging from peaceful demonstrations that turn violent to organized chaos like looting, property damage, and impeding law enforcement. It's a broad term for collective actions, often against the government or existing systemic conditions, stemming from grievances like inequality or corruption, and can be non-violent or violent.

So do we have a right to commit civil unrest to protest things we disagree with? The answer to that is no. We do not!

This is okay.

This is not.

This is fine.

NOT fine.

Hopefully you get the point by now. We have every right to voice our opinions. But we do not have a right to harass, impede, disrupt, destroy, harm, or bully anyone for the sake of expressing your opinion or point of view. We simply do not have a constitutional right to engage in civil unrest. That is a misconception that needs to be addressed loudly and clearly.

If the J6 riot was bad, then all riots are bad. Period. There must be no double standard.

Commie Liberal Democrat Female Protester Jokes

 

A purple-haired commie liberal chick goes to the doctor. The doctor tells her she is pregnant with twins. She starts crying. Doctor says "What's wrong?" She replies, "I know who the father is for one of them, but I don't know about the other one!"

The same chick and her friend are walking in the park when the friend says, "Aw, look at the dead birdie." The purple-haired commie liberal chick looks up and says, "Where?"

A purple-haired commie liberal chick is overweight as usual so her doctor puts her on a diet. "I want you to eat regularly for two days, then skip a day and repeat for two weeks and you'll lose at least five pounds." When the commie liberal chick returns, the doctor finds that she's lost nearly 20 pounds. He exclaims, "That's amazing! So you followed my diet?" The commie liberal chick nods. "Yes, but I thought I was going to drop dead every third day." "Why?" asked the doctor. She replied "From all that skipping, duh!"

These Stupid Ass Ice Protesters

 

The dumb-ass ICE protestors be like...

They create a bunch of havoc, that REQUIRES I.C.E. to come in, and then they gripe and complain about I.C.E. coming into their city. The ONLY reason there is chaos, is because you are not cooperating with the I.C.E. agents, and are allowing misguided citizens to interfere with them and cause a bunch of mayhem. DUH!!!!

So here's a joke for you.

A husband and wife were driving through Louisiana. As they approached Natchitoches, they started arguing about the pronunciation of the town. They argued back and forth, then they stopped for lunch. At the counter, the husband asked the nose-ringed, purple-haired Democrat girl working the register, "Before we order, could you please settle an argument for us? We are trying to pronounce where we are. Could you please pronounce it for us very slowly?" "Sure," she said leaning over the counter "It's Burrr-gerrr Kiiing."

Spin VS. Reality (The Renee Good Case)

 

Title: Narrative vs. Reality: The High Cost of Coordinated Obstruction

Introduction There is a dangerous trend unfolding in our media landscape today: the attempt to rewrite reckless, illegal behavior as "peaceful activism" simply because the politics align with the establishment narrative. We are seeing a coordinated effort to gaslight the American public, turning documented felonies into "tragic misunderstandings" and professional agitators into "harmless observers." But as we peel back the layers of emotional deflection, the facts remain stubborn and undeniable.

The Illusion of the "Innocent Bystander" For days, we have heard the media spin a tale of an everyday mom, a poet, just a random passerby caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. An innocent angel cut down by a hail of bullets. This is not just a mistake in reporting; it is a deliberate fairy tale.

The reporting—documented by witnesses and outlets like the New York Post—paints a far different picture. This individual was not a "random passerby." She was part of a coordinated convoy specifically trained to use vehicles to disrupt and impede federal law enforcement. These groups don't just "show up." They are trained to create chaos, block ICE operations, and interfere with active law enforcement situations. In any other context, we would call this what it is: a felony.

The CNN Panel: A Study in Gaslighting We saw this tension play out vividly on a recent CNN panel. When Scott Jennings brought up the actual facts—that the vehicle was stopped diagonally to block officers and then accelerated toward an agent—the response from the "liberal lackeys" was immediate minimization.

They argued over whether the officer was "really" hit or just "grazed." They questioned if he could have just "stepped away." One panelist even suggested that because the officer wasn't "crushed to death" before firing, the threat wasn't genuine. This is the "crazy pill" logic of the modern media: they expect a federal officer to wait until they are under the wheels of a car before they are allowed to perceive a lethal threat.

Double Standards and Manufactured Martyrs The hypocrisy is breathtaking. If the politics were reversed, there would be no talk of "unwise judgment" or "peaceful protesting." There would be immediate demands for accountability and labels of domestic terrorism.

Instead, the left rushes to canonize individuals who choose to put themselves in harm's way by obstructing federal agents. We’ve seen this pattern with George Floyd, Jacob Blake, and Jordan Neely. The facts become an inconvenience once a usable martyr is identified. They isolate characterizations—calling her a "mom dropping a kid at school"—while ignoring body cam footage that shows her tires spinning and her vehicle moving as a weapon against an agent issuing lawful commands.

The Reality of Lawless Interference Let’s be clear: following federal agents around to impede their work is not "protesting." Using a vehicle to obstruct a federal operation is not "activism." It is organized obstruction. When you normalize lawless interference, tragedy is the inevitable result.

Federal officials have now labeled these coordinated disruptions for what they are: acts of domestic terrorism. These operations are being interfered with repeatedly nationwide, and the media’s defense of this behavior only emboldens more people to put their lives—and the lives of law enforcement—at risk.

Conclusion We must decide as a society: Do we have a single standard for the law, or do we have a sliding scale based on political preference? The video evidence and the witnesses tell the truth, even when the talking heads won't. If you use a vehicle to threaten a law enforcement officer while committing a felony, you have moved far beyond the realm of "peaceful protest."

It is time to stop the gaslighting. It is time to prioritize the reality of the video over the comfort of the narrative. Because when we strip away the emotional packaging, what we are left with is a tragic situation caused by a total disregard for the law.

The bottom line is this. Had she stayed home that day, she'd be alive today.

Another point... play deadly games, win deadly prizes.

More thoughts. Am I happy she was killed? Of course not. Is it sad? Of course it is. But it was a tragedy of her own making. When a person charges a cop with a knife, for instance, he gets shot. Would some of these people actually say, "Aw come on, it was just a knife!" They probably would because they are subsumed by their emotions at this point. 

Bottom line, if a person's intention is to do death, or great bodily harm (like running you over with a vehicle) ALL cops have a right to defend themselves. Renee Good made a lethal choice, and had the misfortune of trying to run over a cop who apparently had a fast draw. He pulled that gun in an instant and fired three shots all in the span of 1 second. That is lightning fast. Also unfortunately the shot struck her in the head. It could have struck her anywhere, but it didn't. It struck her in the head. That was instant death. She never suffered for even a second. That is both a blessing and a curse. A blessing that she did not suffer. And a curse because it gave radical lunatic nut-case protestors a martyr that they can use to attack the rule of law. Just like they did with George Floyd.
