You know how those young impressionable kids love their country singers who peaked 47 years ago.

I love this weekly lists… and this one got surprisingly poignant when highlighting an immigrant’s efforts in Minneapolis.

YouTube video by KARE 11 EXTENDED INTERVIEW: Woman dragged out of car by ICE agents speaks out

This extended interview with the woman who was on her way to the doctor who was ripped out of her car and detained by ICE is worth every second.

She ought to be grateful because if people were talking/writing about her flop directed by a sketchy director, they'd bring up the lack of advance ticket sales and the fact that much of the crew had their names removed from the credits.

Commentary: Megyn Kelly was trying to seize a moment. Why is anyone still listening to her? After her latest ploy for attention, will there be anyone left who believes former Fox anchor Megyn Kelly stands for something other than her own brand?

Border Report: Film Reveals What Happened After Immigration Officials Killed a Man in San Ysidro The HBO documentary β€˜Critical Incident’ detailing the aftermath of the killing of Anastasio HernΓ‘ndez Rojas was released over the holidays.

A recent film on a 2010 CBP murder/coverup near San Diego.

"An official from CBP’s internal affairs... tells the documentary team that he thinks Border Patrol has more of a military mindset than a law enforcement mindset, meaning that their intention is to dominate and kill their enemies."

I wonder if the people of New York could get a permit to March on Fox or CBS headquarters in Manhattan. It would show them that we see their lies that prop up the regime’s lies and their cynical complicity.

10 things to know about Border Patrol boss Gregory Bovino What we learned in tracing his roots from rural North Carolina to El Centro, California. Here's a hint: Two of those things involve: 1.) snakes and 2.) wrestling. (But not wrestling snakes.)

As long as we’re bringing family into it, you little Nazi, let’s talk about your dad who killed a 26-year-old woman because he chose to drive after downing two to three six-packs of beer. The little apple doesn’t fall far from the dysfunctional tree.

This Is what living inside a right-wing information bubble produces. It calls to mind this Charles Bukowski quote:

Trump on why he pardoned notorious drug trafficker Juan Hernandez: β€œIt was a Biden set up. Take any country you want. If someone sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president and put him in jail for the rest of his life.”

Hey, remember way back when the House released the. transcript of Jack Smith’s testimony saying that he had evidence beyond a reasonable doubt in both J6 and the stolen documents case that Trump committed crimes?

Seems like only 2 1/2 days ago….

"Sometimes they want to talk to me about events from 1993 or 2003. Other times, it’s about MAGA red meat like Hillary's emails or Russiagate. Or more recently, COVID lockdowns, Hunter Biden’s laptop or the president’s fitness for office."

Pathetic.

Aside from the awful Trump part, I relish knowing that Greg Kelly is at the pinnacle of his career, a performative puppet on Temu Fox News (rated #38 at only 241k viewers, well below the Game Show Network per Variety) and his legacy is an obsequious, toadying sycophant. All downhill from here, Greg.

The hero who disarmed one of the terrorists in Sydney turned out to be 43-year-old Ahmed al-Ahmed β€” a fruit shop owner and father of two.

He was shot twice and is currently in hospital. He is scheduled to undergo surgery.

He had no experience with weapons of any kind.
