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.

Amy’s Racist Tendencies

Biden is looking for that perfect candidate to be his VP….and at one time I thought Amy Klobuchar would be that perfect candidate….then the George Floyd debacle happened in Minnesota.

Why would that make a difference?

It seems that Amy had a helluva time attracting people of color to her campaign….and now she has crapped in her chili….

For you see the cop that killed Floyd was the same cop that Amy refused to prosecute in an earlier case of police misconduct.

Klobuchar has not commented publicly on her prospects as a vice presidential candidate. But complicating her appeal to the party’s left flank was the criticism she faced in the closing days of her presidential campaign from Black Lives Matter protesters and others angered by the disputed murder conviction of black teenager Myon Burrell during her days as a prosecutor.

An Associated Press investigation raised questions about the conviction of Burrell in the 2002 killing of an 11-year-old girl. The controversy sparked a protest that shut down the final Minnesota rally of her presidential campaign.

The Floyd case has put the national spotlight back on Klobuchar’s days as a prosecutor, particularly as it became clear Derek Chauvin, the officer involved in Floyd’s death, was involved in the death of another citizen while Klobuchar was prosecutor. Chauvin was one of six officers who fired on and killed Wayne Reyes in 2006 after Reyes reportedly aimed a shotgun at police after stabbing his friend and girlfriend. While the death happened during Klobuchar’s tenure at the helm of the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office, the case did not go to a grand jury until after she left the office and became a senator.

Choosing her at this time will lose black votes and as it is right now he cannot afford to lose any votes……

Closing Thought–28Feb20

Minnesota is full of news these days…..first the thing about finally outlawing slavery statewide….and now this…..

Running For Congress While Running From The Law!

That is one candidate in Minnesota, Danielle Stella……she is running against Rep. Ihan Omar…..

It seems that Ms Stella is wanted for non court appearances on multiple occasions…..

Stella first stirred the pot in July over tweets suggesting she supports the QAnon conspiracy theory, which claims that Trump is engaged in a ceaseless secret war against high-ranking pedophile-cannibals in the halls of power. At the same time, The Guardian reported that she had been arrested twice in the Minneapolis area’s Hennepin County on shoplifting charges, including an allegation that she stole $2,300 from Target. 

Stella insisted she didn’t break the law. According to records, though, Stella failed to show up for multiple October court hearings about her alleged felony. After Stella missed another hearing, a judge issued a still-outstanding warrant for her arrest.

We have all kinds of voter antic….from running dead people to running the same person through on many occasions…..and yes this is not something new……I am sure it has happened before…..and how many times have we heard the old cry. “I did nothing wrong” or “I am innocent”?

And this woman is not something new…..there have been felons running for office and candidates running from a felony charge….

I just think it is crazy that a criminal is accusing a Representative of things that are blatant lies and the people are allowing it to continue…..

I love the games we play with our election process…..is that because NO one takes it seriously?

I say it is….and offer the present president as a prime example of the ignorance and stupidity some show when voting.

Closing Thought–24Feb20

Minnesota is in the news for the last couple of years….they have an outspoken Congresswoman in Rep. Omar and they have a candidate of president on the Dem side. Amy Klobuchar…..but there is another issue from Minnesota that caught my eye……that of slavery.

When slavery was abolished over a century ago, America was ready to leave that harrowing part of its history behind for good.

But in Minnesota — and multiple other states –– slavery is technically still a part of their constitution. Lawmakers introduced an amendment on Thursday which would remove a clause from Minnesota’s constitution that allows slavery to be used as a punishment for crimes.
 
The bill of rights in the 1857 Minnesota Constitution states that: “There shall be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude in the state otherwise than as punishment for a crime of which the party has been convicted.”
 
Minnesota Rep. John Lesch is the chief author of the amendment, which will receive a hearing in the house judiciary committee on Tuesday.
 
Just another of those FYI posts that IST is becoming famous for writing…..

The Bee-ahtch Is Baaack! Bachmann That Is

And that bitch would be the Repub Rep from Minnesota Michele Bachmann, if you will recall during the election she was on Hardball and called Dems un-American in the Congress and wanted to see them investigated for unamerican activities.  And then when confronted with the facts she said she never said that…oops…vid tape seldom lies, dumbass!

Guess what?  She won re-election and now her idiotic, irritating  voice is back.

Recently when speaking of her time in Washington she said:

“I’m a foreign correspondent on enemy lines and I try to let everyone back here in Minnesota know exactly the nefarious activities that are taking place in Washington.”

Nefarious?  In case anyone is confused……adjective meaning very wicked; villainous….seems that Ms Bachmann meant what she said back during the election and her thoughts have not been changed in the least….to her Dems are un-American and wicked.  Liberals are somehow akin to “terrorists”.

But wait there is more!  Ms Bachmann also said on a conservative talk show:

“I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax because we need to fight back. Thomas Jefferson told us ‘having a revolution every now and then is a good thing,’ and the people – we the people – are going to have to fight back hard if we’re not going to lose our country. And I think this has the potential of changing the dynamic of freedom forever in the United States.”

Now if I or someone like me had called for some sort of armed conflict to oppose some sort of program that the president was proposing, the DHS would be all over me like white on rice, but yet this mouthy moronic bitch is allowed to keep popping her chomps.  Why?

Kind of makes the quote by John Stuart Mill all the more true…….“Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives.”
