TOP O’ THE MORNIN’

What’s Heating Up at RedState

A revealing exposé on ‘Minneapolis Mom,’ Renee Nicole Good, has surfaced, laying bare truths that align with previous suspicions surrounding her public persona and activities.

In a separate incident, a Minnesota Marriott Hotel employee who illicitly accessed and shared ICE agents’ personal information online is now facing serious consequences, providing a stark warning about the repercussions of such actions.

Meanwhile, in global news, Operation Absolute Resolve highlights China’s strategic challenges in Latin America, raising questions about future geopolitical shifts and strategies in the region.

Now it’s time for CSM Lodging to go one step further and turn this individual in to the FBI so they can give him or her a mugshot, a perp walk, and the Department of Justice can mount a speedy trial. If there are not swift consequences for these evil actions, the unhinged factions will only keep upping the ante.

Operation Absolute Resolve, China’s Strategic Predicament in Latin America, and What Comes Next

The timing was not a coincidence. It sent a clear message to Xi about U.S. military capabilities and Washington’s resolve to defend its interests in LAC and beyond. It’s another proverbial nail in the coffin of the narrative that President Trump is a staunch non-interventionist or isolationist.

Fifth Circuit’s Ruling on Felon Firearm Possession: Implications for Nonviolent Offenders

As anticipated following the Bruen decision, this ruling reflects a growing judicial emphasis on individual rights. Courts across the country are reevaluating various gun laws through this historical lens, from prohibitions on certain firearms to restrictions on carry permits and is helping to ensure lifelong penalties are not imposed lightly without constitutional justification.

Megyn Kelly Endorses Candace Owens ‘Investigation,’ And Calls Nick Fuentes ‘Very Smart’

Rejecting Nick Fuentes should be easy. Scoffing at Candace Owens’ insane musings should be easy.

Megyn Kelly is not being victimized, as she suggests. She is being chastised for choosing to promote dangerous and nutty theories.

Here’s What Dems Don’t Want You to Know About the Woman Who Attacked ICE Agents

Leftists are trying to gaslight the public about what happened. They want to cause riots, which is why we need to make sure the facts are out there before they inspire more violence.

*This* Is Why the ICE Agent Opened Fire on the Driver That Reportedly Tried to Ram Him in Minneapolis

The woman was armed with a 3,000-pound weapon, and this was a justified shooting. It’s astounding how little liberals know of the law or—you know—physics, because the tragic case of Officer Amy Caprio is the reason why law enforcement will shoot you if you try to run them over.  

Organic? LOL-RIGHT: DAMNING Thread Takes Group Behind Minnesota ICE Agitators (and Who FUNDS Them) APART

There’s a joke about protesters agitating ICE and all we got is this lousy whistle to be made here.
