Wicked Witch Of Foggy Bottom

With the chaos that they have created….they are now trying to tamp down the problem…. Blondi has offered a deal to the Gov of Minnesota….

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi sent a letter to Minnesota Democratic Governor Tim Walz demanding the state take three specific actions before federal immigration agents would consider reducing their presence in Minneapolis, including handing over voter rolls.

In the letter, Bondi blamed both state and local leaders for the unrest that has come in response to the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement operations. She said that Walz could “restore the rule of law.”

The letter comes after a Border Patrol agent shot and killed Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse, during a federal immigration enforcement operation. The shooting of Pretti comes less than three weeks after Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, was shot dead by an immigration agent in the same city.

Both incidents have sparked widespread protests and condemnation. In the case of both shootings, conflicting narratives have come from federal and state officials, and video footage taken by bystanders at both incidents has sparked questions and criticism.

Federal agents said that Pretti resisted violently, and Security Secretary Kristi Noem has said that an official fired “defensive shots.” Walz, though, has said that this account is “nonsense” and “lies.”

Walz should send him a finer portrait and say GFY….

Since that will not work Donny has decided to give Walz a call….

It appears that President Trump is looking to lower the temperature on tensions in Minnesota. In a Truth Social post on Monday, Trump said he had a “very good call” with Gov. Tim Walz, adding that, “we, actually, seemed to be on a similar wavelength.” As the Hill notes, it’s a notable shift from Trump’s previous criticism of Walz, whom he blamed for inflaming tensions in Minneapolis.

  • Walz has not commented yet on the call, but a spokesman for his office said Trump agreed to consider reducing the number of federal agents in the state, and to speak with federal officials to ensure an independent investigation into the fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, per the New York Times.
  • Separately, Trump also announced that he was sending border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota to oversee ICE operations in the state, reports Politico. Homan “has not been involved in that area, but knows and likes many of the people there,” Trump wrote, adding that Homan will report directly to him.
  • Trump said he spoke with Walz about Homan, adding that Walz was “happy” with the move. Homan and Walz are expected to speak directly soon.
  • Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem publicly welcomed the move, saying Homan’s experience would aid both fraud investigations and efforts to remove “violent criminal illegal aliens off the streets of Minneapolis.” Noem has been taking flak on the left and right for her defiant public comments about the violence in Minnesota, including the killing of Pretti.

“Similar wavelength”?  Does anyone serious believe that crap?

You want to believe that your policies are causing the problem and yet you and Walz are on a similar wavelength?

What bullshit is this?

Looks like Donny is back pedaling again…..he recently met with the other witch of Foggy Bottom, Noem….

Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem met with President Trump in the Oval Office for two hours Monday evening, reports the New York Times. It’s seen as the latest sign of Trump’s quick pivot on Minneapolis after a bipartisan backlash over the shooting of protester Alex Pretti. Noem’s job appears safe, according to the Times, but she has been essentially replaced in Minneapolis by border czar Tom Homan. Also out of Minneapolis is Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino. Both he and Noem, along with Stephen Miller, had quickly painted Pretti as a domestic terrorist out to kill federal agents, but the backlash ensued when video and eyewitnesses contradicted that narrative.

Trump fielded calls on Sunday from Republicans including Sen. Lindsey Graham warning him that the White House’s immigration agenda was at risk because of the grim TV images, and that Trump needed to make moves quickly, reports the Wall Street Journal. Getting rid of Bovino was an easy first step, per Axios. “He’s a cowboy, and it was a mess,” a source familiar with the president’s thinking tells the outlet. “It was only escalation, and no one was going to back down. Homan going in is a good thing. Someone needed to step in.”

Trump also adopted a much friendlier tone toward Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz after the two spoke by phone on Monday. The Journal reports on part of a deal they struck: Trump would pull some federal agents out of the city if Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey provided more cooperation to the remaining agents who are trying to arrest people in the US illegally. The first agents are expected to leave on Tuesday. House Democrats, meanwhile, plan to open an investigation into Noem next week as part of a push to impeach her, reports the Washington Post.

The narrative is getting away from Donny so it is time to move on to another ‘hot stop’.

This is all a planned tactic I do believe.

Then There Is Minneapolis

Yep the trigger happy goons of ICE have shot and killed another citizen….but that is becoming commonplace.

I watched several different videos and the situation was preventable but apparently the Goons are not trained to diffuse but rather to use deadly force.

There are a few editorials from around the nation.

The fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis over the weekend continues to dominate the headlines. Here’s a look at four editorials on the aftermath, and there seems to be a common theme from both the left and right:

  • “It’s time to de-escalate in Minneapolis, Mr. President,” the editorial from the right-leaning New York Postbegins. It ends by asserting that “the American people didn’t vote for these scenes, and you can’t continue to order them to not believe their lying eyes.” The piece faults Pretti for “clumsily interfering” with ICE agents, but it also levels criticism at the “hasty and misleading rhetoric” coming from the administration about him. It goes after Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem in particular on that front, suggesting she “take a break from her self-promoting and combative TV hits.”
  • In similar fashion, the conservative editorial page of the Wall Street Journal writes that Trump “would be wise to pause ICE enforcement in the Twin Cities to ease tensions and consider a less provocative strategy.” The editors write that Pretti “foolishly” tried to interfere with ICE agents, but say that he should have been arrested, not killed. It also faults Noem and Trump aide Stephen Miller for their rhetoric. “Their social-media and cable-TV strategy is to own the libs, rather than to persuade Americans.” That puts the burden on Trump himself.
  • The Minneapolis Star Tribune worries that the entire state is at a “dangerous edge” and sees one solution: “What is not open to debate is this: The current ICE surge in Minnesota must be paused. … An ICE pause would not represent abolition. It is governance. It is an acknowledgment that tactics producing sweeping disruption, mounting injury and now multiple civilian deaths are failing their own stated aims.”
  • The New York Times is in sync with the above. “The temperature in Minneapolis is dangerously high,” the editorial reads. “There is an urgent need for the federal agents deployed to the city to step back and take a breath before more Americans are hurt or killed. Those protesting the Trump administration have an equal obligation to avoid violence.”
  • The Washington Post, meanwhile, demands an independent investigation into the Pretti shooting, adding that ICE “needs to be bound by laws, oversight and accountability” and that US citizens “need to be secure in exercising their First and Second Amendment rights without worrying they’ll get gunned down.” Trump tapped into Americans’ concerns about immigration in his reelection, but he’s now guilty of “overreach,” they write. “If Trump won’t change course on his own, can Republicans in Congress save him from himself?”

This is getting out of hand…..these hard solutions to problems are doing nothing to make this country safer….it is creating chaos and that chaos is used to justify the hard nose tactics of the ICE Goons.

The anger that is being felt is expanding….Donny has sent ICE to Maine and they are not being met well at all….

As the Trump administration continues to insist it is targeting violent criminals as it ramps up immigration enforcement operations in Maine—while releasing details about just a small fraction of the more than 100 people federal agents have reportedly arrested so far—residents in the state are expressing growing anger over the operations that have seen their neighbors, friends, and coworkers hauled away in unmarked cars by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

In at least two cases in Portland on Thursday, ICE agents pulled drivers out of their cars and left the vehicles running in the street.

A crowd gathered as agents detained a Lyft driver near the University of Southern Maine, with residents calling the masked officers “Nazis” and demanding, “If you’re so proud, show your face!”

“Rot in hell!” one person yelled, while others said, “Fuck you, Nazis!”

Will Donny and his ICE Goons incite another riot in Maine?

This is starting to look like a tactic…..swoop in create havoc then depart before it gets even worse….so far it has been LA, Minnesota, and most blue areas….is he looking for that one that will push Americans to the brink and he can invoke the Insurrection thingy?

Why are you still sitting on the sidelines?
