'This Is Not a Protest': Former Special Ops Soldier Says Insurgent Tactics Being Used in Minnesota

'This Is Not a Protest': Former Special Ops Soldier Says Insurgent Tactics Being Used in Minnesota: 

“What’s unfolding in Minneapolis right now isn’t ‘protest.’ It’s low-level insurgency infrastructure, built by people who’ve clearly studied the playbook,” Schwalm contended.

“Signal groups at 1,000-member cap per zone. Dedicated roles: mobile chasers, plate checkers logging vehicle data into shared databases, 24/7 dispatch nodes vectoring assets, SALUTE-style reporting (Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, Equipment) on suspected federal vehicles,” the Army veteran noted.

University of Connecticut Student Is ILLITERATE

Democrat Ohio Attorney General candidate Elliot Forhan says he is going to “kill Donald Trump” if he’s elected.

“I want to tell you what I mean when I say that I am going to kill Donald Trump,” - Collin Rugg@CollinRugg
...the former Ohio state representative said. 

“I mean I'm going to obtain a conviction rendered by a jury of his peers at a standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt based on evidence presented at a trial conducted in accordance with the requirements of of due process resulting in a sentence duly executed of capital punishment.” 

They’re not even trying to hide it anymore.

"Let me get this straight: 1. prior administrations deported millions of people, and riots were basically nonexistent

2. the moment trump took office, a coordinated campaign by politicians/legacy media *directly called for resistance to ICE*
3. once riots happen and people die, the spotlight shifts to stopping deportations and defunding ICE - Arthur MacWaters@ArthurMacwaters
If this was such a crime against humanity, why did no one riot in 2024?
The intention behind the unrest is NOT empathy.

• Empathy is being manufactured on false grounds to achieve political aims.

And people are getting hurt.

How did Ilhan Omar make millions from a 100% fake winery?

Except… the winery does not even exist: - Benny Johnson@bennyjohnson 

This is insane. We investigated. Check this out… Illhan Omar lists a California winery on her financial disclosures.

You can see them below. The winery name is ‘eStCru LLC.’ 

• In 2023 it was valued at $15k. 
• In 2024 it was valued at $5 Million (!!!) 

This must be a very successful winery to grow that much in value over one year. 

Except… the winery does not even exist:

 - No phone line

 - No physical winery 

- Social media gone dark

 - A barely functional ‘website’ 

- No wine lol What is this?!

 It gets worse: Omar’s third husband, Tim Mynett, has been accused of defrauding investors through this FAKE winery...

Leftist media always "fixes" photos for those they deify.

• According to court documents, the ELNC paid for children to have breakfast, lunch and transportation to and from preschool...

Gregory Lyakhov: Leftmedia Ignores Trump's Major Drug Price Cuts | The Patriot Post

These prescription drug reforms are life-changing for millions of Americans, yet they received virtually no sustained national coverage. - Gregory Lyakhov 

One of the most consequential actions President Donald Trump has taken during his current term has been in healthcare, an area where nearly every modern president has promised reform and almost all have failed to deliver meaningful results...

What makes the Trump administration’s recent prescription drug reforms so striking is not only their scope but the near-total lack of media attention they have received...
Under TrumpRx, the monthly price of 

• Ozempic will fall from roughly $1,000 to $350. 
• Wegovy, which previously cost about $1,350 per month, will also drop to $350. Newer or soon-to-be-approved medications such as 
• Zepbound and Orforglipron — currently priced above $1,000 per month — will be available for an average of $346...

Winning!

'Proud to be a sanctuary city': Mamdani announces another handout for illegal aliens in NYC | Blaze Media: 

The mayor wants to greatly expand social program spending by hiking up taxes. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) says that taxpayers will be on the hook for another handout available to illegal aliens.

"SURVEILLANCE UPDATE- January 26, 2026; 1300 ET (Minneapolis, Minnesota only)"

Latest findings are EXTREMELY disturbing and require a bit of very important background. - Doug Hagmann@HagmannReport

General Summary of Findings: 

• Current ground coordination of anti-ICE activities appears to include leadership within Minneapolis PD (traced back to 2017 under chief Medaria ARRADONDO, now under Brian O’HARA since 2022), staff within Hennepin County DAs office (traced back to January 2020 under DA Michael FREEMAN, now under DA Mary MORIARITY). As previously noted, communications by members of the office of Mayor FREY exist.
• Higher-level operations and support appears to originate and communications traced to from the offices of Gov. Tim WALZ, Lt. Gov. FLANAGAN, state reps, and unsurprisingly, the constituent office of Ilhan OMAR. Specifically, financing for ground operations appears to be under the direction of the above, which is also connected to several Somali Hawala locations, although disrupted and in disarray (H/T@nickshirleyy)...

'Barely made it out alive': James O'Keefe attacked in Minneapolis and gets threatened, 'You have 1 hour to leave or you're dead' * WorldNetDaily * by Joe Kovacs: 

I believe the American people need to wake up. This moment is a warning about where we're headed. Fear pushes people to care only about their money and their families—I get it. But when fear turns inward, when self-preservation and greed replace moral courage, evil goes unchallenged. And history shows that what we ignore today will come for all of us tomorrow.
