Ellen Barkin Cruelly Attacks Charlie Kirk’s Widow, Calls Her a ‘Dog’

https://www.hollywoodintoto.com/ellen-barkin-cruelly-attacks-charlie-kirks-widow-calls-her-a-dog/

Quote
Nothing Gina Carano ever said online has been as harsh as what Ellen Barkin spews.

Yet Carano got fired by Disney for posts that supposedly crossed a bright, red line. (Carano later sued the Mouse House and came away happy with her settlement).

Barkin has yet to face repercussions from her online hate, nor will she. The actress mostly hits targets on the Right, and that is perfectly acceptable within her Hollywood clique.

Remember how the “Sea of Love” actress insulted White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt and wished comedian Louis CK would get raped and shot? Or the time she compared President Donald Trump to Hitler and predicted he would kill 6 million Jews?
...
Barkin targeted Erika Kirk on Friday in a series of increasingly nasty X posts. Kirk watched her husband and the father of her two children get gunned down by a lone sniper on Sept. 10, an assassination that shocked the nation.

No matter what one thinks about Charlie Kirk, his widow or their collective beliefs, mocking a newly widowed mother is about as low as one can go.

Yet the Left consistently goes there on social media. Barkin joined them on Friday.

Not being a super-fan of Hollywood movies, I had to look up Barkin in W'pedia. I recognized few of the titles of movies in which Barkin appeared. Erika is already more significant than Barkin, and is likely to be more so.

At her age (71), Barkin should be considering her own eternal future rather than seeking good people on whom she can dish her impotent hate.

When it doesn’t come true, what are the odds that Hollywood makes a movie or TV series where it does, so the left can feel like they’ve somehow won?

Report: Minneapolis Police Chief Warns Officers ‘They’ll Be Fired’ if They Do Not Stop ICE’s ‘Unlawful Force’

https://www.breitbart.com/crime/2025/12/06/report-minneapolis-police-chief-warns-officers-theyll-be-fired-if-they-do-not-stop-ices-unlawful-force/

Quote
Minneapolis police officers are reportedly in danger of losing their jobs if they do not intervene in certain situations involving U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

Police Chief Brian O’Hara reportedly said if any of his officers see ICE agents using “unlawful force” against people in his area, they are expected to take action, MS Now reported on Friday.

When asked how his officers were expected to respond to excessive force from the federal agents, the outlet quoted O’Hara as saying, “If unlawful force is being used by any law enforcement officer against any person in this city and one of our officers is there, absolutely, I expect them to intervene, or they’ll be fired.”

Isn't Minneapolis one of the under-Blue cities that has trouble recruiting police officers? I do not think many MPD officers will be interfering with ICE and CBP agents performing their duties.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey Eats Somali Food, Looks Like He’s Trying Not to Vomit

https://thepopulisttimes.com/minneapolis-mayor-jacob-frey-eats-somali-food-looks-like-hes-trying-not-to-vomit/

Quote
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey this week participated in a series of events and public statements addressing reports that the Trump administration was preparing to arrest Somali criminals and individuals in the country unlawfully in the Twin Cities.

The developments came as Frey appeared in widely circulated footage eating traditional Somali food during a visit with community members.

In the video, Frey was shown taking large bites of Ambulo, a traditional Somali dish made from boiled adzuki beans, wheat berries, sugar, and spices.

Sounds like Frey's experience and tastes don't extend far beyond meat and potatoes, maybe plus Americanized "Chinese" food*, pizza & pasta, and Taco Bell. I'm going to guess that Somali and Ethiopian food are similar, and Ethiopian food (which I have had) is pretty different from common American tastes.


* This is based on the cuisine from modern Guangdong Province, but with ~170 years of adaptation to ingredients available in 19th and 20th Century America and American tastes. It's not exactly "authentic", but it isn't phony.

A significant number of Dummies still believe the Trump-Russia Collusion Delusion, that Trump is Putin's @#$%-Holster, and the more recent Trump-Id-Krasnov Delusion.

They believe this horsecrap, all the while praying to whatever deity owns their souls that we don't remember that THEIR GUY is the only POTUS known to be Putin's fetch and carry "man"...

Rocky's intelligence is underwhelming at best, but is he so stooooooopid that he does not realize that there are records of who participated in what arrests where? Meanwhile, not only do ICE and etc. officials state that the masks are used to hinder doxxing, but there have been multiple IRL instances of doxxing and threats against ICE agents' families.

The Dummies who supported and defended Russia until the USSR fell apart have suddenly - and probably temporarily - and recently decided to regard Russia as an enemy ... but not because they realized how monstrous Communism was and is.

The anonymity of ICE agents is a feature, not a flaw.

We don't know who they are. We don't know how they were selected. We don't know how they were trained. We don't know anything about them. They are anonymous and unidentifiable. They can't be held to account, because they cannot be identified. It's sort of a perfect disguise for people who want or are ordered to break the laws through their actions.

Neither are soldiers in the military. And neither are breaking laws, rock for brains.

If your party wasn't insistent on doxxing agents and making violent death threats to anyone they disagree with, the brave ICE agents wouldn't have the need to wear masks and hide their identity. Perhaps your violent protestors should show their faces as well if they're so brave and proud of their beliefs.

Woke Priest Uses His Church’s Nativity Scene to Mock and Defy ICE

https://pjmedia.com/robert-spencer/2025/12/06/woke-priest-finds-a-way-to-mock-ice-in-his-churchs-nativity-scene-n4946773

For the left, everything is political, and those aspects of life that aren’t obviously political can and must be politicized. The Rev. Stephen Josoma of Saint Susanna Roman Catholic Church in Dedham, Mass. knows this quite well. For years, he has used his parish as a sounding board for his far-left views, and this Christmas season is no different: he has turned his parish’s Nativity scene into a large denunciation of ICE.

Saint Susanna’s looks to be the parish of choice for Roman Catholics who like their Christianity with a strong dose of Marxism added in. The latest parish bulletin touts “A National Call for Moral Revival,” which “challenges the evils of systemic racism, poverty, the war economy, ecological devastation and the nation’s distorted morality of religious nationalism.”

The bulletin also includes a quotation from “the Jesuit Alfred Delp who was executed by the Nazis,” and who warns that “we run the risk of concealing Christmas behind bourgeois customs and sentimentality, behind all those traditions that make this holiday dear and precious to us.” Whatever Delp may have meant by this, for the modern-day leftist Roman Catholics at Saint Susanna’s, it clearly means to cut out the Christmas cheer and focus on improving the lot of the oppressed victims of racism, classism, xenophobia, and “Islamophobia.” Gotta guard against those bourgeois customs, after all.

The Catholic Church in the US has, for decades, been a warren variously populated by faithful observant Catholic believers, New Age-y something-or-others, political animals like this, and folks who don't let their Catholicism interfere much with their partying and business. I'm not a fan of heresy-hunting perfection-or-nothingists, but the state of the church in the US is sad to this outsider.

The Real Reason for ICE Masks and Anonymity

It's not about the fear of being doxxed and threatened at all. That's what they say, but that's not even close.

The masks and hidden identities and nametags are deliberate. Designed so those ICE agents can get away with violating the human and constitutional rights of those they grab, detain, deport, and otherwise disappear.

Nobody, and I mean nobody knows who those individual ICE agents are, other than themselves and maybe their buddies. If someone's rights are violated, or if they are injured or even killed, nobody will be able to identify the individual ICE agents who did the violations or harm. There are no records of who was there on a particular actions, I suspect, so there's nobody who can be charged for such violations of the law.

The anonymity of ICE agents is a feature, not a flaw.

We don't know who they are. We don't know how they were selected. We don't know how they were trained. We don't know anything about them. They are anonymous and unidentifiable. They can't be held to account, because they cannot be identified. It's sort of a perfect disguise for people who want or are ordered to break the laws through their actions.

I don't see any move to change any of this. We don't know how much they are paid. We don't know much of anything about those men who are mobbing people where they live, work, go to school or walk down the street. They can't be identified, so we can't hold them to account for any crimes they commit.

This is a very, very dangerous problem, for which I find no ready solution.

It is about being doxxed and threatened you idiot. You don't know who they are? You didn't seem to give a crap with 10 million people coming over out of the border and not knowing who they are...🙄🙄
