Ilhan Omar Attacked By.....!

This is President Donald J. Trump's America.

The same folks who want us to have sympathy for President Donald J. Trump after his near assassination. The same folks who want us to have pity on Erika Kirk after her husband Charlie took a live round to his neck.

The same folks who want people fired for criticizing the president, Charlie Kirk, Israel, Jewish nationalism, Christian nationalism and the children of the president.

The same folks who I said will gas these folks up to commit unspeakable crimes against one another.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) was about to bring the Black out of her... She was damn near close to throwing bows on the suspect. 

Oh boy.

At a Minneapolis area town hall, Omar was attacked by a man who throw a liquid substance on her. He was apprehended and later arrested with third degree assault. 

The Minneapolis Police, U.S. Capitol Police and Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office will likely put more charges on the suspect since Omar is a frequent target of death threats.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota were notified.

The suspect was tackled to the ground Tuesday during a town hall she was hosting in Minneapolis, where tensions over federal immigration enforcement have come to a head after agents fatally shot an intensive care nurse and a mother of three this month.

The audience cheered as the man, who was wearing a black jacket and holding a syringe, was pinned down and his arms were tied behind his back. In video of the incident, someone in the crowd can be heard saying, “Oh my god, he sprayed something on her.”

Just before that Omar had called for the abolishment of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to resign.

“ICE cannot be reformed,” she said.

Minneapolis police said officers saw a man use a syringe to spray an unknown liquid at Omar. They immediately arrested him and booked him at the county jail for third-degree assault, spokesperson Trevor Folke said in an email. Police also said forensic scientists responded to the scene.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) were attacked by individuals who support Trump. Reps. Pamilia Jayapal (D-WA) and Jesus "Chuy" García (D-IL) are in the background.

Omar continued the town hall after the man was ushered out by her security detail, saying she would not be intimidated.

There was a strong, vinegarlike smell when the man pushed on the syringe, according to an Associated Press journalist who was there. Photos of the device, which fell to the ground when he was tackled, showed what appeared to be a light-brown liquid inside.

Minneapolis Council Member LaTrisha Vetaw said some of the substance came into contact with her and State Sen. Bobby Joe Champion as well. She called it a deeply unsettling experience.

Omar says she is OK and ‘a survivor’

Walking out afterward, Omar said she felt a little flustered but was not hurt. She was going to be screened by a medical team.

She later posted on the social platform X: “I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.”

The White House did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment Tuesday night.

President Donald Trump has frequently criticized the congresswoman and has stepped up verbal attacks on her in recent months as he turned his focus on Minneapolis.

During a Cabinet meeting in December, he called her “garbage” and added that “her friends are garbage.”

Hours earlier on Tuesday, the president criticized Omar as he spoke to a crowd in Iowa, saying his administration would only let in immigrants who “can show that they love our country.”

“They have to be proud, not like Ilhan Omar,” he said, drawing loud boos at the mention of her name.

He added: “She comes from a country that’s a disaster. So probably, it’s considered, I think — it’s not even a country.”

The look on Omar's face shows that she was ready to knock that fool out.

Officials condemn the attack

Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz expressed gratitude that Omar was safe, adding in a post on X: “Our state has been shattered by political violence in the last year. The cruel, inflammatory, dehumanizing rhetoric by our nation’s leaders needs to stop immediately.”

U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace, a South Carolina Republican, also denounced the assault.

“I am deeply disturbed to learn that Rep. Ilhan Omar was attacked at a town hall today” Mace said via X. “Regardless of how vehemently I disagree with her rhetoric — and I do — no elected official should face physical attacks. This is not who we are.”

And Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, a Democrat, said: “Unacceptable. Violence and intimidation have no place in Minneapolis. We can disagree without putting people at risk.”

He added that he was relieved that Omar “is OK” and thanked police for their quick response, concluding: “This kind of behavior will not be tolerated in our city.”

The attack came days after a man was arrested in Utah for allegedly punching U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost, a Democrat from Florida, in the face during the Sundance Film Festival and saying Trump was going to deport him.

Lawmakers face rising threats

Threats against members of Congress have increased in recent years, peaking in 2021 and the aftermath of that year’s Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, before dipping slightly only to climb again, according to the most recent figures from the U.S. Capitol Police.

Lawmakers have discussed the chill the threats bring on their ability to hold town halls and public events, with some even citing the threat environment in their decisions not to seek reelection.

Omar has faced the most particular concern, long targeted with harsh language and personal attacks by Trump and other Republicans.

Following the assault on Omar, U.S. Capitol Police said in a statement that the agency was “working with our federal partners to see this man faces the most serious charges possible to deter this kind of violence in our society.”

It also released updated numbers detailing threats to members of Congress: 14,938 “concerning statements, behaviors, and communications directed against lawmakers, their families, staff and the Capitol Complex.”

That is a sharp increase from 2024, when the number of cases was 9,474, according to USCP. It is the third year in a row that the number of threats has increased.

Capitol Police have beefed up security measures across all fronts since the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and the department has seen increased reporting after a new center was launched two years ago to receive and process reports of threats.

Minneapolis has been reeling from the fatal shootings of two residents by federal immigration agents this month during a massive federal immigration enforcement surge.

Intensive care unit nurse Alex Pretti was killed Saturday, less than three weeks after Renee Good was fatally shot behind the wheel of her vehicle.

🔵 Neptunes Split Up!

The Neptunes will no longer revolve around the sun.

The fallout between two major record producers. They started in 1992 and broke up in 2022. 

Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo are feuding and they are now in federal court to settle the matter. The two were part of the Neptunes production. The Hampton Roads duo were producing hits for Jay-Z, Mystikal, Snoop Dogg, Gwen Stefani, Justin Timberlake, Nelly, Pusha T, Kelis and others.

Both grew up inspired by New Jack Swing. They learned how to master the talents from Teddy Riley. They were competing with Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott and Timbaland for production visibility.

Now they are permanently separated.

Pharrell continues on as a solo producer, singer, actor, fashion designer, model, skateboarder, rapper and activist. He is also called out for cultural appropriation, his support for Israel and tone deaf responses to today's politicial climate.

He was recently knighted by French president Emmanuel Macron.

Chad is suing for over $1 million in unpaid royalties and production theft.

Hugo claims Williams withheld money and failed to report the accounting of their numerous shared businesses, related to N.E.R.D. Music LLC. Hugo said he did not receive his agreed-upon 25% of the proceeds and claims he was denied access to the accounting records in 2021.

Hugo's attorney, Brent Lehman, declined to comment to 13News Now but wrote in the complaint that many of Hugo's songs are also “missing” from label portals.

It's also not the first time the music producer has sued Williams. In 2024, Hugo filed a complaint against Williams for trademarks on music production and branding.

A spokesperson for Pharrell Williams released a statement on that matter, saying:

“We have reached out on multiple occasions to share in the ownership and administration of the trademark ... The goal here was to make sure a third party doesn't get a hold of the trademark."

Hugo's attorneys said he is owed more than a million dollars just from N.E.R.D.’s final album, 2017’s “No One Ever Really Dies.”

Both the 2024 case and this latest lawsuit are moving forward at the federal level.

13News Now has reached out to Williams’ lawyers, the publicist for N.E.R.D. Music, The Neptunes, PW Branding, and Talamasca Incorporated, but none have responded at the time of this article’s publication.

The two were part of the rap/rock group N.E.R.D. which released two albums as a group.

Trump Reportedly Cannon Fire Greg Bovino!

Greg Bovino and his gang.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency commander is reportedly fired out the cannon. There is no true confirmation but the Department of Homeland Security secretary Kristi Noem ordered him out of Minnesota.

Renee Good and Alex Pretti, two white U.S. citizens shot deas at the hands of Immigration Customs Enforcement drew the ire of state and federal lawmakers. President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance and the Administration have called them "domestic terrorists" and blames the left for the unrest in Minneapolis and St. Paul.

Greg Bovino, his days are numbered.

The departure of Border Patrol commander Bovino, who has been at the center of the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration enforcement surge in cities nationwide, comes as Trump dispatched border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota to take charge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations.

Homan is another controversial figure who will only stroke tensions.

The person familiar with the matter was not authorized to publicly discuss details of the operation and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity.

Bovino’s departure marks a significant public shift in federal law enforcement posture amid mounting outrage over the fatal shooting of 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents. Criticism has increased around Bovino in the last few days after his public defense of the Pretti shooting and disputed claims about the confrontation that led to his death.

Citing a Homeland Security official and two other people familiar with the matter, Nick Miroff reported that Bovino has been removed from his commander post and will return to his former job as a border official in El Centro, California, “where he is expected to retire soon.”

Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin appeared to dispute the report, stating, “Chief Gregory Bovino has NOT been relieved of his duties.” However, she did not say that Bovino remains commander-at-large.

Noem and her senior advisor Corey Lewandowski (alleged paramour) could be fired out the cannon.

The president now sees concerns with these ICE crackdowns. He had to call Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey after the three had tensions. 

Trump has a 34% job approval.

Immigration deportation is no where close to the numbers of his predecessor Barack Obama.

The status quo of white nationalist rhetoric like borders and illegal immigrants. Borders are imaginary lines designed to control colonialism. Countries can have borders to prevent invasive species from ports of entry. Human beings are not invasive. 

The immigration crackdowns are a sad pathetic attempt to stop white men from declining in population. As the population increases, we are seeing more biracial, Latinos, Black, Hispanic and Asian births. Biracial children make nearly 20% of the U.S. population.

Trump and the boomer/Gen X generation are the biggest obstacles to progress right now.

People born between 1925 to 1979 are out of touch with reality. In their hey days, things were better for them. But thanks to the cultural revolution of cable and the internet, more Americans are now becoming open to learning more than English. We are becoming less religious. We are not concerned with other people's private lives.

Yet we are constantly indoctrinated with the beliefs that we must care what someone else does under the guise of morality. Freedoms are being lost to reactionary bullshit.

Learning how to adept to technology. Learning to be more innovative to cultural experiences. 

Just being real about this, it will backfire and Republicans will end up losing a generation of voters.

TikTok US Flops Hours After Transfer!

Tic Toc on the demise of TikTok.

President Donald J. Trump, Larry Ellison, David Ellison, Benjamin Netanyahu, Oracle, United Arab Emirates and Israel have a stake in the formerly ByteDance owned TikTok U.S.

I want Trump, Ellison, Vice President JD Vance, Elon Musk and Israel to fail.

The Chinese based company operating out of Singapore has officially sold its U.S. version to the investors who reside in the United States. 

This will be a reminder of former president Joe Biden and former vice president Kamala Harris in their disastrous final years. The former president at the behest of Israel signed a law forcing ByteDance to sell TikTok or be banned. They claimed it was on the principles of China collecting U.S. data and posing a national security risk. 

In reality, the Israeli lobby and Anti-Defamation League pushed for it on the grounds it was pushing a pro Palestinian message. They claim it was a breeding ground for "terrorism" and "antisemitism."

Netanyahu openly bragged about the sale. He called the TikTok sale a part of the eighth front of war.

TikTok said Thursday in a news release that a new company, TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC, would ensure the app continues to be available in the U.S. The company will "operate under defined safeguards that protect national security through comprehensive data protections, algorithm security, content moderation, and software assurances for U.S. users," the statement said.

ByteDance, TikTok's Beijing-based owner, will retain a 19.9% stake in the U.S. operation. The joint venture will be governed by a seven-member board of directors.

The new company will be led by Adam Presser, with TikTok CEO Shou Chew serving on the board of directors, TikTok said in the release. The majority of the board's members are American, it noted.

The deal, facilitated by the Trump administration, means the U.S. version of TikTok will become majority-owned by a group of investors that includes the American tech giant Oracle, the California-based private equity fund Silver Lake and the United Arab Emirates investment firm MGX.

In a Truth Social post Thursday, Trump praised his administration for helping "bring this Deal to a very dramatic, final, and beautiful conclusion."

"I would also like to thank President Xi, of China, for working with us and, ultimately, approving the Deal," Trump added. "He could have gone the other way, but didn't, and is appreciated for his decision."

The announcement ends a yearslong saga in which the popular short-form video platform was subject to years of scrutiny across the political aisle in the U.S. over its Chinese ownership. Both Trump and Biden had cited national security concerns in their attempts to push for a nationwide ban.

Americans make up TikTok’s largest user and creator bases, with more than 200 million active users in the country.

UpScrolled is rising.

Such a ban almost came to fruition just over a year ago, when the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act was supposed to take effect. The bipartisan bill, which was upheld by the Supreme Court, required ByteDance to sell the platform to an American company or face a ban.

The looming threat of a nationwide TikTok shutdown stirred a mass exodus of users who, in fear of losing their audiences and income streams, migrated to other social media platforms, like Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. Many, to express their spite for U.S. lawmakers, also inundated the Chinese social media app RedNote.

But aside from its briefly going dark on the eve of the ban, TikTok it has remained consistently available to its American users as Trump repeatedly issued executive orders to delay the ban. He extended TikTok’s shutdown deadline four times before he announced a tentative deal between Washington and Beijing in September.

Even after the ban’s initial signing, there were signs that a deal would emerge as popular discontent about the decision surged.

Last January, the Biden White House said it would pass responsibility for its enforcement to Trump’s incoming administration, and congressional leaders who had once championed the ban seemed to shy away from enforcing it, as well.

Trump has also flip-flopped on his attitude toward TikTok. In 2020, during his first term, he signed an executive order to effectively ban it; that order was later halted in court. By 2024, however, he openly voiced his opposition to a TikTok ban and joined the platform in an attempt to reach young voters, even publishing a video promising to "save TikTok."

Issam Hijazi, founder of UpScrolled is moving to improving the app.

Trump also took an active role in advocating for certain U.S. interests. Almost exactly a year ago, he said he'd like Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison to buy it. Ellison, an ardent Trump supporter, remains chairman and chief technology officer of Oracle, which is a managing investor of the new U.S. TikTok operation, with a 15% ownership stake.

TikTok's powerful recommendation algorithm, which dictates much of what users see, was of particular interest with regard to the app's future. TikTok said in its release that the new U.S. company "will retrain, test, and update the content recommendation algorithm on U.S. user data. The content recommendation algorithm will be secured in Oracle’s U.S. cloud environment."

U.S. user data will also be stored in Oracle's cloud computing operation and subject to data privacy and security review by third-party cybersecurity experts. 

Meaning Israel and ICE will look at the data.

Though the U.S. operation has split off from ByteDance's control, TikTok said the app will continue to operate as "a global TikTok experience, ensuring U.S. creators can be discovered and businesses can operate on a global scale."

Eleanor Holmes Norton Out!

Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) announces retirement after initially declaring a reelection bid.

She finally got the message.

Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), a non-voting delegate who represents the District of Columbia is no longer seeking reelection. Her decision comes after months of turmoil facing the nearly 90 year old politician who has onsight dementia.

Norton, the 18-term delegate for the District of Columbia in Congress and a veteran of the Civil Rights Movement, has filed paperwork to end her campaign for reelection, likely closing out a decades-long career in public service.

Norton, 88, has been the sole representative of the residents of the nation’s capital in Congress since 1991, but she faced increasing questions about her effectiveness after the Trump administration began its sweeping intervention into the city last year.

Mayor Muriel Bowser congratulated Norton on her retirement.

“For 35 years, Congresswoman Norton has been our Warrior on the Hill,” Bowser wrote on social media. “Her work embodies the unwavering resolve of a city that refuses to yield in its fight for equal representation.”

Norton’s campaign filed a termination report with the Federal Election Commission on Sunday. Her office has not released an official statement about the delegate’s intentions.

The filing was first reported by NOTUS.

Her retirement opens up a likely competitive primary to succeed her in an overwhelmingly Democratic city. Several local lawmakers had already announced their intentions to run in the Democratic primary.

Bowser is likely seeking the seat. She is not seeking reelection as mayor of Washington.

An institution in Washington politics for decades, Norton is the oldest member of Congress. She was a personal friend to civil rights icons such as Medgar Evers and a contemporary of other activists turned congressional stalwarts, including Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C, and the late Reps. John Conyers, D-Mich., and John Lewis, D-Ga.

But Norton has faced calls to step aside in recent months as residents and local lawmakers questioned her ability to effectively advocate for the city in Congress amid the Republican administration’s aggressive moves toward the city.

The White House federalized Washington police force, deployed National Guard troops from six states and the federal district across the capital’s streets and surged federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security into neighborhoods. The moves prompted outcry and protests from residents and a lawsuit from the district’s attorney general.

Norton’s retirement comes as a historically high number of lawmakers announce they will either seek another public office or retire from official duties altogether. More than 1 in 10 members of the House are not seeking reelection this year.

Norton’s staunch advocacy for her city

As the district’s delegate, Norton does not have a formal vote in the House. But she has found other ways to advocate for the city’s interests. Called the “Warrior on the Hill” by her supporters, Norton was a staunch advocate for D.C. statehood and for the labor rights of the federal workers who called Washington and its surrounding region home.

She also secured bipartisan wins for district residents. Norton was the driving force behind the passage of a law that allows them to attend any public college or university in the country at in-state tuition rates or be eligible to attend any private university with up to a $2,500 annual grant.

In the 1990s, Norton played a key role in ending the city’s financial crisis by brokering a deal to transfer billions of dollars in unfunded pension liabilities to the federal government in exchange for changes to the district’s budget. She twice played a leading role in House passage of a D.C. statehood bill.

Muriel Bowser, Washington, DC mayor is likely going to run for the seat.

Steeped in the civil rights movement

Norton was born and raised in Washington, and her life spans the arc of the district’s trials and triumphs. She was educated at Dunbar High School as part of the school’s last segregated class.

“Growing up black in Washington gave a special advantage. This whole community of blacks was very race conscious, very civil rights conscious,” she said in her 2003 biography, “Fire in My Soul.”

She attended Antioch College in Ohio and in 1963 split her time between Yale Law School and Mississippi, where she worked as an organizer during the Freedom Summer of the Civil Rights Movement.

One day that summer, Evers picked her up at the airport. He was assassinated that night.

Norton also helped organize and attended the 1963 March on Washington.

In an interview with The Associated Press in 2023, Norton said the march was still “the single most extraordinary experience of my lifetime.”

She went on to become the first woman to lead the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which helps enforce anti-discrimination laws in the workplace. She ran for office when her predecessor retired to run for Washington mayor.

Muriel Bowser is likely going to declare her run for the seat. It is a safe Democratic delegation seat. Republicans have never won the seat since its establishment in 1970.

Republicans oppose making Washington, DC a state. They oppose voting rights in American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Those living in the District of Columbia can vote for the president as it carries three electoral votes. Republicans only carry less than 20% of the vote. Over 80% of the federal district voted for the Democratic presidential nominee.

Ted Cruz Leaks On A Sinking Ship!

Lyin Ted is denying he is trashing MAGA and Trump.

Texas senator Ted Cruz is insufferable and incompetent. He is a weather vane. 

He allowed the president to insult his wife, his father, his looks and his patriotism. He gets more upset at a far right media personally who demanded he take a stand on U.S. interests over a foreign country. 

He cannot focus on the state of Texas. He cares more about Israel and its issues than the state was elected to represent.

Axios has leaked audio of Cruz worrying about how President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance and the Republicans are handling the country right now.

ICE kills another U.S. citizen, a deadly winter storm, inflation still burdening, NATO is at risk of breaking up, USMCA is at risk of collapsing, the president's mental and physical health, European Union organizing a trade group, BRICS courting the Global South, Israel still committing a genocide, Russia is still occupying Ukraine, Canada is working with China on free trade, Americans are overworked, education is on the decline, politics is now becoming a bloodsport, over 30 mass shootings in 25 days of 2026 and the penguins.

Somebody tell me, what the fuck is the penguins meme from the Trump Administration?

Job approval is 33%.

At the start of January, Trump was at 34%. He left 2025 at 41% overall.

Cruz trashed Trump and Vance in conversations with GOP donors last year, explosive leaked recordings allege. The Daily Beast outlines the controversial lawmakers remarks.

Ted Cruz secretly bashes Trump, Vance and Elon Musk.

The Texas senator, expected to second run for president in 2028, slammed Trump’s tariff crusade and said he even threatened his staff with immediate firing if they used the phrase “Liberation Day” to refer to the day the sweeping taxes were announced, reports Axios.

Cruz, 55, told donors he and other senators expressed their tariff disgust with Trump in a lengthy phone call, warning it would tank the economy and lead to his impeachment. The call pushed past midnight and “did not go well,” Cruz told donors, with Trump “yelling” and “cursing” at the lawmakers.

Cruz claims that he received an especially explicit response from the president that night.

“Mr. President, if we get to November of [2026] and people’s 401(k)s are down 30% and prices are up 10–20% at the supermarket, we’re going to go into Election Day, face a bloodbath,” Cruz told Trump, according to the recording. “You’re going to lose the House, you’re going to lose the Senate, you’re going to spend the next two years being impeached every single week.”

Trump allegedly responded bluntly: “‘Fuck you, Ted.’”

The White House did not respond to a request for comment.

Cruz’s office did not deny the contents of the recordings in a statement to Axios. 

Still, Cruz’s office claimed that he is still “the president’s greatest ally in the Senate and battles every day in the trenches to advance his agenda.”

2028 off to a great start for GOP.

Axios reports that the recordings were “nearly 10 minutes in total” and came from conversations in “early and middle 2025.” The site said the recordings were provided by a “Republican source.”

It is unclear which donors Cruz was speaking to.

Trump referred to Cruz as “Lyin’ Ted” in the 2016 GOP presidential primary and even went as far as suggesting that his wife, Heidi, is ugly compared to Melania. Still, Cruz has largely done Trump’s bidding in the Senate ever since, and he even campaigned for him in 2024.

Cruz, 55, is now believed to be eyeing another White House run, hoping to become a more traditional GOP successor to Trumpism. Standing in his way is the 41-year-old Vance, who is the overwhelming favorite to win the Republican nomination in the eyes of prediction markets.

Vance was “torched” by Cruz in the secret recordings, Axios reported. Sources also told The Washington Post last month that Cruz privately badmouths the VP to donors.

In the recordings obtained by Axios, Cruz claimed that Vance was a “pawn of conservative podcaster Tucker Carlson,” who is among Cruz’s biggest foes, having clashed with the ex-Fox News host in an explosive interview last summer over the Trump administration’s strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. Cruz supported the intervention and has repeatedly criticized Carlson for his opposition to U.S. military support of Israel.

“Tucker created JD,” Cruz told donors, according to Axios. “JD is Tucker’s protégé, and they are one and the same.”

Publicly, Cruz has never explicitly linked Vance and Carlson. He alleged to donors that the ousted National Security Adviser Mike Waltz—of Signalgate infamy—was pushed out of Trump’s Cabinet by Carlson and Vance.

“[He] supported being vigorous against Iran and bombing Iran—and Tucker and JD took Mike out,” Cruz said, according to Axios.

Carlson told Axios he had nothing to do with the high-profile ouster.

Another One: ICE Shoots Dead In Minneapolis! Alex Pretti Killed!

ICE is the American IDF.
Be warned very extreme graphic images.

This year: 
  • 27 mass shootings.
  • 6 police officers killed.
  • 42 civilians killed by police.
  • 1 shooting in a place of worship.
  • 2 first responders killed.
Okay, if you fear for your life and you're a police officer, maybe you shouldn't be one.

Also, if you believe a woman who has a melted cheese face..... you're a fool.

Our own president is a fucking felon. His ass should never been in the White House. 

The President of the United States, the Vice President of the United States, Republicans and far right agitators really want the left to fight them. If the so-called left decide to mount a violent insurrection, should the next Democratic president pardon and commute their sentences too?

They claim the left is always violent. Okay, they want to prove a point.

They might get their wish.

Renee Good, Keith Porter and now Alex Pretti are martyrs. A woman who didn't deserved to die. To have our president dismiss her as a terrorist when she was afraid of being apprehended by a federal agents clouded in secrecy is beyond insane. A person who did not commit any fucking crime. 

And even if it was a crime, what that dirty cop did was shot a woman at point blank range without impunity.

George Floyd 2.0. 

We can't breathe.

You thought Charlie Kirk shooting was tragic, think what our federal government does to its citizens under the guise of protection.

When the federal government turns on the citizens, they might revolt. Democracy is declining under President Donald J. Trump. He will cause so much chaos, Americans will eventually stop electing white men as our president.

ICE sprays mace in face of Pretti. He is holding his phone.

The Immigration Customs Enforcement shot and killed another U.S. citizen.

This comes almost two weeks after they shot and killed Renee Good.

The junk food media confirms Alex Pretti, a lawful open carry spotter who watched ICE violently apprehend another man.

Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Elon Musk, Israel and the status quo: Warning! The United States has never had the risk of a violent coup d'etat. I have it now at 20% chance.
Donald J. Trump, the 45th/47th President of the United States, you're tone deafness and fly off the handle noise has reached a point. For some, it was funny and interesting. To the rest of the world, it shows Americans were absolutely stupid in electing him the first and second time. To put a man who is nothing more than a carnival barker in the White House has proven that the time is now.

We cannot allow a status quo of white men being the President of the United States. It time to allow others lead.

On January 24, 2026, 37-year-old U.S. citizen Alex Jeffrey Pretti was shot multiple times and killed by United States Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The incident was the third shooting by federal officers in Minneapolis in seventeen days, and occurred amid mass protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Video recordings of the incident showed Pretti filming law enforcement agents with his phone and directing traffic. He was subsequently pepper-sprayed and wrestled to the ground by about six federal agents, who then shot him to death.

ICE shoves a woman and Pretti as they were blowing whistles and holding their phones.

The United States Department of Homeland Security claimed that Pretti approached agents with a handgun. It did not specify if he was holding the gun or if it was on his body. A review by The New York Times of available video found him holding a cell phone, but not a gun, in the moments before the shooting.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti of Minneapolis was a 37-year-old U.S. citizen. Born in Illinois, Pretti was a 2006 graduate of Preble High School in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Pretti worked as a research scientist before attending University of Minnesota, where he graduated in 2011, in order to become a registered nurse. At the time of his death, Pretti held an active nursing license issued in 2021. Pretti worked as an intensive care nurse at the US Department of Veterans Affairs hospital in Minneapolis. Pretti was a member of a union representing federal employees.

According to local officials, Pretti was a lawful gun owner and had a Minnesota concealed carry permit. Law enforcement reported that he had no serious criminal history; records searches turned up traffic tickets. A neighbor interviewed by The New York Times said Pretti was "not a violent person".

Pretti had participated in protests against the killing of Renée Good earlier in January 2026. Pretti's father told reporters that family had warned Pretti in the weeks leading up to his death to "go ahead and protest, but do not engage, do not do anything stupid, basically."

Alex Pretti was shot multiple times by Border Patrol agents at the intersection of 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis. A witness stated that ICE agents were attempting to enter a restaurant but were refused.

Videos of the incident showed Pretti recording agents. He then moved to the sidewalk and tried to help two people who were being pushed by agents. Pretti stood between the agent and the woman he had pushed, and was pepper-sprayed. Pretti had embraced the woman who had just been shoved. An agent then shoved Pretti, and the two fell back, still embracing.

Several agents wrestled Pretti onto the sidewalk, one officer struck him with an object, and then ten shots were fired over a period of five seconds. According to analysis by The New York Times, agents yelled that Pretti had a gun approximately eight seconds after Pretti had been pinned to the ground. 

The Department of Homeland Security said that Pretti "approached" Border Patrol officers with a handgun, and an agent sprayed mace before firing defensive shots after attempting to disarm him. Video of the incident showed Pretti's phone in his right hand and nothing in his left hand. In a sworn testimony, two witnesses to the killing said that Pretti did not brandish a gun. Multiple videos showed a federal agent pulling a gun from the scuffle matching the description later given by DHS, followed by two other federal agents using their guns to shoot Pretti; according to The Wall Street Journal: "A frame-by-frame review ... shows a federal officer pulling a handgun away from Pretti. Less than a second later, an agent fires several rounds."

The woman who took the clearest video of the killing testified that Pretti was not resisting agents and was instead focused on helping a woman who had been pushed to the ground. She said that DHS's account of the events was wrong. A second witness testified seeing Pretti yelling at agents but not attacking them or brandishing a weapon.

Shortly after, medics attempted to revive Pretti. DHS stated that Pretti died on the scene.

Witness statements

Minnesota Public Radio reported a statement from a witness to the shooting: "The gentleman I was standing next to was focused on helping people who were coming into Nicollet Avenue understand that they needed to take it slow and helping them get through. The ICE agents approached us, told us to [']back up, back up.['] I'm not even sure why[—]we were helping them, if anything. And I got on the snow bank, and next thing I knew, they shot him."

Another witness explained to CNN how the incident unfolded. The witness was in a doughnut shop when someone came into the shop with federal officers in pursuit. The officers could not enter the shop and called for backup; various community members contacted a "network for first responders" to assist. The witness said: "What I saw is that there was a lot of people, getting together trying to come and get the attention from the officers, and they managed to do it, but the way that the officers reacted when they saw these people, they started pushing them away and like being physical to them, and as they were being physical to this one lady in particular, she tried to look to somebody to grab onto, and it just happened to be this person who got shot."

Two witnesses to the shooting testified in sworn affidavits on the day of the shooting in an existing lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union against Kristi Noem. One of the witnesses was a physician who testified that he was initially barred from providing assistance to Pretti. The physician stated that agents were not performing CPR on Pretti but instead had him on his side and appeared to be counting how many bullet wounds that he had. The other witness testified that she never saw Pretti draw or otherwise hold a gun, but that he instead had approached the agents with a camera while he was trying to assist a protestor who had been knocked down by the agents. She said that she saw four or five agents on top of Pretti when they began shooting him. Her testimony also included that the agents were looking for her in connection to the shooting and that she was fearful to return to her house.

Shooters

Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino said an officer who shot Pretti had been serving with the Border Patrol for eight years and had "extensive training as a Range Safety Officer".The New York Times reported that two officers shot Pretti with ten shots being fired in five seconds.

Bovino reported that as of January 25, all agents present at the scene of the shooting were still at work.

Are you getting tired of this?

The status quo politics of "can't do nothing" or "now is not the time."

On average there are two mass shootings a day now. It never stops. 

Uh oh. Better see if the far right preparing to make this shooter a leftist.

I wonder if Charlie Kirk got something to say about it?

Nevermind.

The United States is the most violent country in the world. Israel and Russia follow behind respectfully. Israel, Russia and the United States are the most hated countries in the world. 

The United States is downsizing in democracy. 

What is wrong with white men, white women and white boys?

It's the guns stupid!

Things to keep in mind when the blame game comes, will the suspect be:
  • White
  • Black
  • Latino
  • Muslim
  • Arab
  • Non White National
  • Immigrant
  • A member of the LGBTQ community 
  • A disgruntled employee 
  • A former student
  • A current student
  • A gang member
  • A so called leftist 
  • A person who has conservative views
  • A person with easy access to firearm
The person with easy access to firearms should be the only answer. Alas, the far right is hoping for this to be a person they can scapegoat as their next de jour of outrage. Anyone can get firearm in the United States. Even, people who are non U.S. citizens are allowed to obtain firearms. 

The real issue is not just guns, it's white men, white women tears and white boys. They are losing their goddamn minds. Inspired by loneliness, politics, job loss, social media trends, endless perceptions of others, the lack of opportunities (besides joining the military) and the need to be ahead of everyone else is what drives these fools to commit endless chaos.

White privilege also santizes the white shooters. Already we are getting details of the mass shooters. Glaring profiles of these white mass shooters to paint them as unfortunate circumstances. Ignoring the fact, these terrorists had signs of potential danger but their families thought it was just noise.

The Trump Administration is trying to deny the clear evidence of a federal agent shooting a disarmed Alex Pretti in the back 10 times. Pretti was holding his phone. He did not reach for his phone nor tries to shoot ICE agents.

That restraining order doesn't mean much to a deranged individual. It's a trigger!

I wish things could have turned out well! But unfortunately, a shooter never abides to a court order!

How can a piece of paper protect a victim when it's not reliant on stopping the perpetrator (from causing harm)?

The real issue is gun violence. Not comedians. Not activists. Not Black men. Not immigrants. Not Muslims. Not transgender Americans. Not video games. Not movies. Not rap music. Not the left.

A man made crisis that can be solved if these incompetent politicians and media agitators stop making excuses for the continued gun violence epidemic. Prayers are just words and speeches. Instead offering words, how about policies?

The United States is downsizing in democracy and freedom.

I just want to say that the Second Amendment is White, period.

A bullet does not care about color. We all bleed red and so many lives are lost to gun violence. Republicans offer no solutions other than "thoughts and prayers" with a touch of "lock em up."

Gun violence continues to be the number one threat in the United States.

I dismiss this ridiculous notion that criminals are the problem, not the guns. Firearms are often obtained through legal purchases. 

Again, having more security, teachers being armed and offering safe rooms are not solving the problem. The problem is lawmakers not willing to stop gun violence.

According to the far right: White shooters are always mentally ill or lone wolves. The far right believes they should receive some sympathy for their crimes. Black shooters are unrepentant thugs and criminals who deserve lengthy time in the iron college or death. Gay and transgender shooters are active groomers who want to be pedophiles on children. Muslim shooters are terrorists who should be surveiled or deported. Hispanic and Asian shooters are illegal immigrants and they should be deported. According to the far right, almost all white [or non-white] mass shooters are registered Democrats [leftist or some progressive activist] because they have liked or done one thing common to the politics of the left. Of course, they often share or post disinformation by using the ridiculous "Sam Hyde" meme or make bogus social media platforms with the shooter's image as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white or associated with conservative causes. The far right says a white person should "protect" themselves from thugs, terrorists or protesters. They believe the use of firearms are "justified" if they are protesting or even instigating a conflict. The far right believes if a shooter is a police officer, an active military member, a veteran or a citizen who supports conservative causes, they are considered a "heroes" and use of firearms are justified. If the shooters are teens in urban communities, the far right automatically assume the gunmen are Black. Even if the evidence turns out that the shooter has alignment with conservative causes or Republicans, the far right dismisses it as a hoax or a plot to demonize the MAGA movement.

The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox, Twitter and they force it into national news. They make the case to blame Black Lives Matter, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Democrats, Rev. Al Sharpton and rap music for Black on whatever violence. Republican lawmakers who do not live in urban neighborhoods often troll social media to talk about gun violence or crime in Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee and New York City while not doing a damn thing to stop it. If a white person shoots a Black person, the shooter is given the benefit of doubt. White shooters are given glowing profiles about their perfect lives and how friends noticed something but refused to do something. When it comes to Black shooters, automatic vilification. They don't see mental illness. They see it as gang violence, allegedly fatherless homes, Democratic policies or the need for more firearms.

Trump gave us open season.

WHITE PRIVILEGE IS REAL! IT'S "SUIT AND TIE" WHITE SUPREMACY ON TELEVISION, RADIO, THE INTERNET AND AMERICAN POLICY!

FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP!

IF THE UNITED STATES CONTINUES TO AID ISRAEL, THE WORLD WILL BOYCOTT THE U.S. AND ABANDON THE DOLLAR!

I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET OR THE COP'S VERSION.

These murderers don't have mental illness. They are calculated and prepared. It happened to be a moment where they have the opportunity to take out lives.

There's no sickness in the head. Most mass shooters legally obtain their assault rifles without little background checks. They have likely no criminal history and they are willing to use the assault weapon in the only thing it's good for: Killing numerous lives.

Holding these lawmakers accountable is not just a pledge, but a promise. You need to learn who represents your community. Your local community member, your school board member, your mayor, your state representative, your state senator, your governor, your U.S. Representative, your U.S. Senator and the president need to be held accountable for their actions.

They want you to risk your freedom or your life to protect their right to gas you up to commit unspeakable crimes against one another.

We need to put pressure on Republicans and Democrats to do something to improve everyone's lives.

Keep pressure on them with Israel. 

Israel must be held accountable for war crimes and the U.S. must end its aid. 

Our taxpayer money should not help Israel any further.

Expect more gun violence.

Republicans continue to offer extremely unpopular ideas. They will find out the risk of supporters being turned off by their policies.

Biden, Harris and the Democratic Party failed at understanding what is more important to the country. Trump, Vance and the Republican Party have already failed at understanding.

Both parties support of Israel had made some Arab Americans, Muslim and young voters vote against them. They have cost Biden a second term and Harris a historical victory.

The call center to the White House and Congress should still be the same.

The call number to the White House and U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official White House numbers 202-456-1111 and 202-456-1414.

Your calls are monitored by the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Capitol Police. 

Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence. Let them know that we are tired of police officers using immunity when committing death of suspects in custody. You want no more qualified immunity for police officers who use deadly force when it's not justified. Let them know that deporting law abiding immigrants seeking refuge is inhumane. You want the U.S. to improve the immigration process. You want the U.S. lawmakers stop dehumanizing human beings. You want the U.S. to prove to the world its a beacon of freedom. You want our American military and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents stop harassing people (regardless of nationality) out of our cities, the Middle East and every fucking international conflict in the world. You want legislation to focus on lowering the cost of rent, lowering the cost of food, lowering the cost of hospital visits, improving healthcare and building relationships with other nations. Let them know that you tired of being lectured about oppresive regimes overseas when the very people running our state and federal government are doing the same in real time. Let them know that you will not tolerate a government shutdown which affects federal services for Americans in need or in support of services. Let them know that pulling out of the UN Human Rights Organization, World Health Organization and Paris Climate Accords will put the U.S. in danger when catastrophic event happen. Let them know that you are tired of private equity firms getting away with destroying small businesses and long established companies. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel and Ukraine. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-semitic or in support of terrorism because you support the freedom of Palestinians. You are tired of the propaganda being forced on your media platforms.

We have bigger issues at home and our tax dollars should solve the housing crisis, lowering food prices, fixing roads, bridges, helping reinvest in struggling urban and rural communities. We have hospitals closing, big box retailers leaving communities and television programs dying. There are bigger issues in the country than Israel. You want an immediate ceasefire, a weapons embargo, sanctions and accountability for war crimes done by Israel. You want no more domestic or foreign influence in American elections. You also want to make sure future presidents and lawmakers avoid influence from lobbyists and special interest groups.

THERE IS NO GOD!

GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!

FUCK YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!

LET ME BE CLEAR, PRAYERS DO NOT STOP FUCKING BULLETS!

THIS IS A MAN-MADE ISSUE! WHY IS IT SO HARD TO STOP A MAN-MADE ISSUE LIKE GUN VIOLENCE?

STOP SAYING YOU'RE PRAYING TO PEOPLE AFFECTED BY GUN VIOLENCE. IT IS FUCKING PLATITUDES. DO SOMETHING ABOUT FUCKING GUN VIOLENCE YOU WORTHLESS LAWMAKERS. PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, THE CHOICE TO CONTINUE THE STATUS QUO WILL KEEP YOU AND OTHERS AT RISK OF VIOLENCE. MAKE A CHOICE TO STOP THE CHAOS AND ACT LIKE A FUCKING 79 YEAR OLD MAN. DO SOMETHING TO HELP THE COUNTRY.
