News Weakly - 2/7/2026

Noses and Faces
Cities across the nation held anti-ICE demonstrations, demanding the removal and elimination of ICE. I do wonder how they'll feel when immigration enforcement is no more. I know it's been abused, but there are too many instances of people here illegally committing dangerous crimes that would never have happened if ... there was proper immigration enforcement. And we've seen the negative outcome when law enforcement is defunded and crime runs rampant. So ... let's try that again, right?

The Rabble Wins
The lawless advocates win. The Trump administration is removing 700 federal agents from Minnesota with an aim to completely removing all as soon as possible. Whatever we do, enforcing the law should be stopped and stopped immediately. We'll start with illegal immigration, reclassifying it as "not illegal ... just not legal," and then move on from there. We'll stop when there's no more need for law enforcement, I guess, simply by definition. That'll fix it. Just define everyone as "basically good" and move on.

Politically Correct?
The Supreme Court is allowing California to do what other states have been blocked from doing. They passed their proposition to further disenfranchise Republican voters and use their gerrymandered congressional maps to net 5 more Democrat seats. They did in in protest of Texas trying to do the same to favor Republicans, a clear case of double standards. Since the Supreme Court allowed Texas to do it, I suppose they had to allow California to do it. The state of politics today is deplorable.

On the Edge?
The US-Russia nuclear pact expired this week. Since the media operates on terror and crisis, we're all scared now the world might end in a sudden, unexpected nuclear exchange. The concepts of level-headed thinking and reporting facts are mostly dead and gone now, so we should all just find a government-provided hole and pull ourselves inside. Or maybe your favorite Amazon-purchased bunker. I'm sure glad I trust in God.

Your Best Source for Fake News
The ICE controversy goes on in the news. The Bee is reporting that the Winter Olympics are planning to protest Trump's immigration policies by removing ice from the skating rinks. I guess that goes great with all the Kennedy Center cancellations, doesn't it? Elsewhere this week, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz emerged from his den and declared 6 more weeks of rioting and fraud. Experts believe his forecast. Finally, with the whole indictment of Don Lemon (actual story), experts are warning that arresting journalists could be a slippery slope leading to arresting other people that deserve it like politicians.

Must be true; I read it on the internet.

Sharing state residency with Punxsutawney Phil as I do, I loved The Bee’s report about “6 more weeks of rioting and fraud” in Minnesota.

Yesterday I saw a clip of Don Lemon speaking to reporters, where he said, “Last night the DOJ sent a team of federal agents to arrest me in the middle of the night for something that I had been doing for the last thirty years….” At first, I wondered if he meant sodomy ;), but then Lemon went on to say, “… and that is, covering the news.” To which the video’s host declared, “At this point, his credentials as a journalist are about as legitimate as his ‘marriage.’”
