Politically it would be best for the republicans in Minnesota to leave this buffoon alone, letting him run loose on his own probably leads to the best outcome for your side.
But 9 billion in fraud is not chump change. More damage can’t be tolerated.
Overdue for an increase in Volatilty, drops in basically everything. Monday US markets closed for MLK Holliday. Friday nights are the preferred time for bank failures. (Nothing specific expected, but 3 day weekends can be hazardous to your financial health?)

On January 14, Colorado Court of Appeals judges sharply challenged state prosecutors during arguments in former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters’ appeal. Peters, 70, has been in prison since October 2024 for felonies and misdemeanors linked to a 2021 voting machine breach amid 2020 election claims. Defense argued the instructions wrongly used a ‘might’ standard for conspiracy instead of proving knowing intent; judges called it a misinstruction and floated a misdemeanor verdict as remedy, while prosecutors defended the conviction’s evidence. The case highlights post-2020 election tensions, with no ruling timeline yet and Gov. Polis noting the sentence’s harshness.

Appellate Judges Grill Prosecutors Over “Baffling” Error: Tina Peters Convicted on Felony Charges despite using Misdemeanor Jury Instruction Language
– A judge asks point-blank if it’s acceptable to convict someone of a crime they weren’t charged with or instructed on, as long as evidence supports it; the prosecutor affirms “yes,” leading to visible judicial confusion and pushback, with one judge stating, “I’m baffled at the position that’s being taken.”
– The jury was instructed using “might” (misdemeanor language implying potential liability) instead of the felony requirement of actual liability, resulting in an extra 15 months in prison; judges emphasize this isn’t a mere omission but an affirmative misinstruction, questioning why the remedy isn’t simply entering a misdemeanor verdict.
This egregious error represents prosecutorial misconduct or a fundamental due process violation, and is potentially grounds for overturning the conviction entirely or declaring a mistrial.

IF this DJT’s plan — is he waiting for an ICE agent to get shot before he unleashes the hounds??
What we are witnessing is not spontaneous civic unrest. It is a sustained strategy of division, enabled by progressive activism untethered from accountability and amplified by legacy and social media ecosystems that reward outrage over truth.
This is not how a nation is conquered by force. This is how it is hollowed out from within.

As money is cut off by the Trump Administration and legal pressure mounts for prosecuting Democrats for everything from fraud to sedition, you can expect the Left to dramatically increase the violence to try to destabilize America. Klayman explains, “Here’s what’s going to happen…”

“This is not about public health,” Booras said. “It is about power, control and the growing influence of pharmaceutical-aligned trade groups over vaccine policy,” Booras said.
The CDC “did it in a way that aligns with immunology, it aligns with the best evidence, it aligns with what is really a way to protect communities and minimize the exposure of children to vaccines that they just don’t need,” Yohanan said.

Lead author Karl Jablonowski, Ph.D., called the retraction “an act of censorship.” He told The Defender:
“There are 318 members of the Advisory Board for Preprints. Not a single one of them has published on vaccine safety. Not a single one of them has published on infant mortality. Not a single one of them would have been chosen to peer-review our article. Its retraction, therefore, cannot be a peer-reviewed nor a scientific decision.”
Retraction is an important tool for the scientific community, which needs the ability to edit itself, especially when “negligent or bad actors are at work,” Jablonowski said. “But retracting is also a tool of the censors, by those who muzzle scientific discourse,” he said.
Canada (102) on the other hand is far higher than I would have expected for a country that is rapidly shifting to overt communism!

Governor Carney just announced, without irony that Canada’s partnership with Beijing “sets us up well for the new world order.”
That’s not diplomacy. That’s a public confession of strategic bankruptcy.
Let’s translate the subtext into plain language: Ottawa is auditioning to become China’s northern logistics hub.
And in doing so, Canada has voluntarily reclassified itself, from ally to security liability.
There will be no Chinese foothold on America’s northern border. None.
Not under the banner of “trade.” Not under “clean energy.” Not under the fairy tale of a “new world order.”
Greenland was a warning shot, quiet, contractual, and polite.
Canada just skipped that chapter and jumped straight to risk designation.
The United States does not negotiate buffer zones with adversaries.
It neutralizes them.
And for the record:
When you align yourself with a hostile power, you don’t get bought out.
You get contained.
Carney may want a “new world order.”
What he’s actually invited is a strategic reckoning, and this time, no one’s writing a check.

He just implied he is not going to strike, yet the entire world is preparing for him to strike and Iran’s airspace is clearing out.
Your guess is as good as mine as to what happens next. All I know is that the deal has already been made.

Environmental Disaster coming in 3…2…1… Doesn’t matter who blows a fully loaded tanker out of the water — US will be blamed. International Law no longer relevant. US demonstrating that they OWN the seas in Western Hemisphere (and consequences thereof).

I love companies that are going to start mining within a year, and this one fits the bill. Downside is it’s only 43% silver, but with gold and copper makes it 56% of mined materials. Other is lead and zinc. Solid economics, and it’s in Peru, so some geopolitical risk. 60% IRR at $30 silver and $1,900 gold…are we higher than that?
