The Conservative Cave

First, the dental janitor really is one of the most egotistical idiots on the island. I think it might even challenge that magic muslin (the Big 0) in that regards.

Second, it amazes me how they can refuse to admit what they see with their own eyes and instead revert to the programming and talking points provided by their DemonRat overlords.

I've seen three different videos of the incident with the assailant attacking the agent with the car. In one, it looks like she MAY have hit him. In both of the other two, you can see that she did hit him.

I'm to the point that I firmly believe that the DUmbAsses, like DumFuk, would poor gasoline on themselves and strike a match to it if their overlords told them that gasoline doesn't burn and fire isn't hot.

A lot of times when you attack someone, regardless of affiliation, with a shovel you're take a chance on getting lead poisoning.

A federal agent shot and injured an immigrant in Minneapolis on Wednesday evening, federal officials said, an incident that touched off clashes between protesters and law enforcement and that came just one week after an immigration agent killed a woman in the city.

Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security, said in a statement that federal agents were trying to arrest a man from Venezuela who was in the country illegally. She claimed that he fled from agents.

When the officer caught up to him, Ms. McLaughlin said he “began to resist and violently assault the officer,” and that two people came out of a nearby building and joined in attacking the officer with a snow shovel and broom handle.

when nobody believes a word the regime's lawyers and authorities say anymore without video to confirm it.

I see applegrove realizes the danger to DU-folks' refusal to accept facts, body and/or dash cam video.

Feds Charge 20 Men in College Basketball Point Shaving Scheme

https://pjmedia.com/rick-moran/2026/01/15/feds-charge-20-men-in-college-basketball-point-shaving-scheme-n4948333

... According to a federal indictment unsealed Thursday in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, as ESPN reported, "Twenty men have been charged in a point-shaving scheme involving 39 college basketball players on 17 NCAA Division I teams, leading to 29 games being fixed."

Anyone who has seen the rise of legalized sports betting, how both professional teams and colleges have embraced the billion-dollar companies making bets on games, and the ease with which players, coaches, and officials can be sucked into these gambling rings, is not surprised by this latest scandal at all.

The Athletic:

Shane Hennen and Marves Fairley, two men who were indicted in a federal district in New York in October, worked with Blakeney and a number of others to manipulate college basketball games during the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons, according to an indictment brought by the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Prosecutors said Hennen and Fairley worked with others to recruit college players with bribes and then asked them to help fix games so their teams would not cover the spread — the number of points by which a sportsbook predicted a team would lose its game. The players, prosecutors say, were offered between $10,000 to $30,000 for each game to be a part of their gambling ring.

If convicted, will the NBA have the courage to ban these players?

MUST WATCH: Karoline Leavitt Destroys MSM 'Journalist' Over ICE Question

https://pjmedia.com/sarah-anderson/2026/01/15/must-watch-karoline-leavitt-destroys-msm-journalist-over-ice-question-n4948341

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt held a press briefing on Wednesday afternoon, and she was on fire, especially when it came to answering one "journalist" from The Hill. Let's just say he had a question about U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, but he kind of already had the answers — or, at least, his version of them — prepared in his head, and Leavitt didn't let it go.

Leavitt called on Niall Stanage, who asked: "Earlier, you were just defending ICE agents generally....Secretary [Kristi] Noem spoke to the media and she said, among other things, that they are doing everything correctly — 32 people died in ICE custody last year, 170 US citizens were detained by ICE, and Renee Good was shot in the head and killed by an ICE agent. How does that equate to them doing everything correctly?"

"Why was Renee Good unfortunately and tragically killed?" Leavitt responded

"Oh, you're asking my opinion," Stanage replied, seemingly caught off guard by the question. 

When Leavitt confirmed that she was, indeed, asking his opinion, he said confidently, "Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably." 

Wrong answer.

"Oh, okay, so you're a biased reporter with a left-wing opinion," she replied

"Well, what do you want me to do?" Stanage asked. But Leavitt would not be interrupted.

Quote

Yeah, because you're a left-wing hack. You're not a reporter. You're posing in this room as a journalist, and it's so clear by the premise of your question. And you and the people in the media who have such biases but fake like you're a journalist, you shouldn't even be sitting in that seat.

 But you're pretending like you're a journalist, but you're a left-wing activist. And the question that you just raised and your answer proves your bias. You should be reporting on the facts.
...
You should be reporting on the cases. Do you have the numbers of how many American citizens were killed at the hands of illegal aliens who ICE is trying to remove from this country? I bet you don't. I bet you didn't even read up on those stories. I bet you never even read about Laken Riley or Jocelyn Nungaray, or all of the innocent Americans who were killed at the hands of illegal aliens in this country.

And the brave men and women of ICE are doing everything in their power to remove those  heinous individuals and make our communities safer. And shame on people like you in the media who have a crooked view and have a biased view, and pretend like you're a  real, honest journalist.

It amazes and amuses me how, despite months of seeing every one of years of Trump Press Secretaries being prepared and giving better than they got, MSM folk continue to under-estimate Trump Press Secretaries. Thinking that Leavitt would not notice and call out the, "Have you stopped beating your wife," conclusion-assuming in the "question" was monumentally dumb.
