Activists Jam Up Major Airport To Protest ICE Deporting Pedophiles, Murderers
https://dailycaller.com/2026/01/23/airport-protest-50501-minnesota-minneapolis-saint-paul-ice-pedophiles-murderers/

Quote
Protesters staged a “sit-in” at the Minneapolis-Saint Paul (MSP) International Airport on Friday over deportation flights as immigration agents snatch violent migrant criminals from Minnesota.

The left-wing 50501 Movement’s Minnesota chapter posted a call-to-action for the protesters on social media Friday morning, saying a plane was scheduled to arrive with “shackled deportees” at the facility at 12:40. Authorities gave a permit establishing an approved location and number of protesters, but airport police made about 100 arrests after they violated “the agreed-upon terms,” an MSP spokesperson told the Daily Caller News Foundation. The DCNF observed several police officers standing guard in riot gear during the gathering.

The crowd surrounded a gated outdoor area of the airport, held signs denouncing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), linked arms and sang about how they would “all go down to jail” if necessary, according to footage from the leftist outlet BreakThrough News. The demonstration also involved “civil disobedience” by blocking traffic at the airport, leftist magazine In These Times reported, showing a picture of protesters flooding the road outside the gate.

Talk about evil enablers. They are just as evil.  :censored: :mad:

General Discussion / Treasury Sec. Bessent humiliates Greasy Gavin at Davos

New: Bessent Lights Newsom Up Again With Brutally Funny, Spot-On Take About His Failures

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is a real wit. He's another one of those Cabinet picks who just seems to be perfect for the job.  He was in Davos this week at the World Economic Forum, along with President Donald Trump. Now, California Gov. Gavin Newsom was there as well, trying to act like a national leader, but only managing to look desperate for attention.

As we reported, Bessent had a little fun with Newsom, referring to him as a cross between Patrick Bateman and Sparkle Beach Ken, and the only person in his state who knows less about economics than Kamala Harris. Talk about right on the money.

Bessent went on to list some of the things, from homelessness to the Palisades fire, that Newsom had failed on, as he spends his time trying to raise his national profile. Meanwhile, Newsom made some weird remarks about Trump being a T.rex. He also waved around some kneepads, claiming they were for foreign dignitaries interacting with Trump.

Quote
"This is diplomacy with Donald Trump. He's a T.rex. You mate with him, or he devours you, one or the other," Newsom said Tuesday. "The Europeans could be (devoured) if they continue down this path and process. They need to stand tall, stand firm, stand united."

I don't think that he gets people want someone standing up for America, like a T.rex. Newsom naturally was taking the position of standing up against our present government overseas. Because of course he is. Not a good look. Bessent then had more to say about him:

Quote
"I think Gavin Newsom may be cracking up with some of these things he's saying. I think he may be in over his hairdo.

And being on the national stage is very different than being governor of California with no signature achievements, but to say strange things, like President Trump is a Tyrannosaurus rex, what the hell does that mean? I could say, Gavin Newsom is a brontosaurus with a brain the size of a walnut. And if you brought the kneepads, maybe that was for his meeting with Alex Soros."

Oof, don't hold back there, Bessent. Dude is just savage; that "in over his hairdo" crack is great. But it goes to the greater point when it comes to Newsom - there's nothing there but hair gel. What policy can he point to that has made things better for the people of California? You can already tell that he's more focused on his campaign than the state he's supposed to be in charge of.

And look at this homophobic "witty" retort from Greasy (Bessent is openly gay, in case those weren't aware):

General Discussion / Speech on Illegal Immigration
« Last post by Ralph Wiggum on January 23, 2026, 06:56:02 PM »
Guess who said this in the past 40 years (without hovering over the attached link thing):

Our nation was built by immigrants. People from every region of the world have made lasting and important contributions to our society. We support legal immigration, but we won’t tolerate immigration by people whose first act is to break the law as they enter our country,” THEY said.

“We must continue to do everything we can to strengthen our borders, enforce our laws, and remove illegal aliens from our country. We are a nation of immigrants, but we’re also a nation of laws. And it is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years,” THEY continued.

I've lived in 5 states, visited several more. Been around plenty of white people.

The number of negative racial incidents I've had in decades I could count with one hand.

Since 2021, I've lost count as to how many times a white leftist has called me a coon, ******, house ******

The guy trolling Fanone is Ivan Raiklin, who the MSM call an "election denier". I've been rooting around to see if there is anything to Fanone's claim that Raiklin had threatened his family.

From NewSpeak's article about this encounter, https://www.newsweek.com/fight-almost-breaks-out-at-jack-smith-hearing-he-threatened-to-rape-kids-michael-fanone-ivan-raiklin-11403286 :

Quote
Verbal sparring between Fanone and Raiklin broke out during the committee hearing. It’s unclear what sparked the altercation.

Video posted to social media showed Fanone yelling, “This guy is threatening my family, my children, threatening to rape my children.” It’s unclear what comments Fanone was referring to. Raiklin has not been charged with making threats against Fanone or his family.

On a slightly different tack, from The Hill, https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5701690-fanone-raiklin-hearing-altercation/ :

Quote
Later in the hearing, Fanone coughed into his hands and appeared to say, “Go f— yourself,” as Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas) spoke. Nehls, addressing the former officers in the room, blamed Capitol Police leadership for the events of Jan. 6, not President Trump.

From the International Business Times, https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/who-ivan-raiklin-jan-6-hardliner-who-confronted-michael-fanone-why-he-keeps-turning-1773191 :

Quote
As fellow officers tried to restrain him, Fanone made alarming accusations. 'This guy has threatened my family, threatened my children, threatened to rape my children,' he shouted. Raiklin has not been charged with making such threats.

From Mediaite, this about the lead-up to the claim wrt Fanone's family, https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/you-sick-bstard-capitol-cop-gets-right-in-the-face-of-jan-6-supporter-in-wild-scene-at-jack-smith-hearing/ :

Quote
Footage from multiple angles on Thursday found Fanone and Raiklin exchanging words before Fanone walked towards Raiklin and called him a “traitor to this country.”

And then:

Quote
A Capitol officer eventually stepped between the two.

“This guy’s threatened my family, threatened my children,” Fanone said as another officer stepped into the middle of the scene. “Threatened my — threatened to rape my children, you sick b*stard! Rape my children!”

Dunn eventually got Fanone back to his seat. Fanone warned one officer, “Do not f**king touch me” after the confrontation.

My emphasis.

From Raw Story, https://www.rawstory.com/michael-fanone-ivan-raiklin/ , no comment about Fanone's claim, but this interesting bit:

Quote
"Thank you, Mr. Fanone," said Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), the ranking Democrat, as supporters stood up and applauded as Fanone and Dunn were escorted out by a police officer. "Mr. Chairman, please control the deranged observer, Mr. Raiklin, so he doesn't create any other problems with this today."

"Imagine what he did on Jan. 6 with that demeanor," Raiklin replied from his seat. "Look at my demeanor."

In my informal survey of how this was reported, I was particularly interested in how Prog sources - e.g. NewSpeak and Raw Story - would report it, as they would have particular and very strong dislike for Raiklin. IOW, if there was even a "sources say" annoymorous report supporting Fanone's claim, they would gleefully trot it out. But nothing.

Raiklin's trolling-mocking is far from pretty.

Fanone's reaction was out of control, and his snap at an apparent Capitol Police officer, "Do not f**king touch me," is suggestive there was something more than just losing it in his anger. What, :shrug: ? His comment at Rep. Troy Nehls indicates, at best, a partisan mind closed to ideas and facts that do not fit what he wants to be true. Raiklin's snark, "Imagine what he did on Jan. 6 with that demeanor," is not entirely unwarranted though over-the-top.

One more matter not in the background info included with the various articles about this encounter (nor in W'pedia's article about Raiklin) is any mention of where he was on 1/6/2021. Given the biases of several of the sources, had they known Raiklin had been withing a mile or 5 of the Capitol that day, those sources would have mentioned it, very prominently (as would the angry Fanone).

General Discussion / Spain’s deadly rail accidents prompt maintenance investment debate

Spain’s deadly rail accidents prompt maintenance investment debate

https://srnnews.com/spains-deadly-rail-accidents-prompt-maintenance-investment-debate/

Quote
MADRID, Jan 23 (Reuters) – A series of accidents in one week on Spain’s railways, including one of the deadliest in Europe, has left the country reeling and put the spotlight on whether investment to maintain the network is keeping pace with surging passenger demand.

Nearly 40 million passengers used a high-speed train in Spain in 2024, almost double the 2019 number and pushing the overall use of Spain’s railway system to a record 549 million, according to data from the competition authority.

However, the high usage on Europe’s largest high-speed rail network means more wear and tear, and data, reports and experts point to a focus on expanding the system, rather than on investment in maintenance, which is lower than in other large European countries.

NETWORK IS A VICTIM OF ITS OWN SUCCESS

“Spain’s high-speed rail is dying from its own success. It’s under greater strain, and it’s starting to break down,” said Salvador Garcia-Ayllon, a professor at Universidad Politecnica de Cartagena.

Spain is more compact than, for example, California. For example the distance between Seville to Bilbao, the two major cities farthest apart, is about 435 miles, a bit less than from San Diego to San Jose. From San Jose to Crescent City, near the border with Oregon, is another 400 miles. Back to Spain, between Seville and Bilbao are several major cities. High-speed rail works better with Spanish geography than with California's (then there's CA's earthquake faults).

Further, socialism and maintaining infrastructure don't work well together. See Venezuela and Cuba. Spain is governed by a socialist party. If anyone believes the Dem-run gooberment of California would ensure high-speed rail is properly maintained, I've a bridge toll concession for sale.
