Homan on Minnesota Unrest: “Justice is Coming” … “You Should Hear Something, Real Soon”

Conservative Treehouse   "During an interview with Fox News, Border Czar Tom Homan notes the Trump administration is looking carefully at who is funding the organized anti-ICE protests throughout the Minneapolis, Minnesota region. Homan’s remarks are seemingly in alignment with what Treasury Secretary and IRS Commissioner Scott Bessent has noted about his investigative group, further stating that investigations will likely reveal who is funding the street protests against ICE and Border Patrol officials.

"Specific to the ongoing investigations, Homan notes, “justice is coming” against those who are coordinating the violence, and information about that activity is likely to be revealed “real soon.” WATCH:

"The overwhelming majority of Americans are understandably frustrated with the lack of forceful arrests and prosecution of those who are antagonizing officials and creating civil unrest.

"Homan says during the interview, DHS is currently processing the identities of those who have stepped beyond protesting and are now involved in violence against law enforcement officials.  According to Homan the names, faces and identities of those who are participating will be uploaded to a website for sharing with the larger American public.". . . 

Homan Vows to Expose Lefty Agitators: Reveals New Plan to 'Make Them Famous'  . . . "Homan's comments, which he made during an interview with Fox News personality Laura Ingraham on Thursday, appear to be a direct response to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), who amped up the ongoing chaos in his state by inciting protesters to harass ICE agents.

"Rather than turning down the temperature as street thugs continue to try to impede government operations, the governor posted a video encouraging the already unhinged to "film ICE agents" so they "can create a database of these atrocities against Minnesotans ... to bank evidence for future prosecutions."

"Homan decided two can play at that game." . . .

Trump threatens to invoke the Insurrection Act in response to Minneapolis protests

Trump threatens to invoke the Insurrection Act in response to Minneapolis protests

Deploying the military for domestic law enforcement purposes usually requires congressional authorization, but invoking the 19th century law would permit Trump to do so unilaterally. It also allows for the federalization of National Guard troops under certain circumstances. The law is rarely used. Then-President George H.W. Bush was the last to invoke it, during the Los Angeles riots in 1992.

UPDATE – ICE agents were ambushed in Minneapolis by two assailants wielding shovels from nearby apartments, while agents wrestled a Venezuelan illegal to the ground after a car pursuit ended in a crash.

"Trump wrote on Truth Social:

If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT, which many Presidents have done before me, and quickly put an end to the travesty that is taking place in that once great State.

 Minnesota Somali community criminal network fraud, the largest welfare fraud scheme in U.S. history?  "Framed as the largest welfare fraud scheme in U.S. history, the massive increase in fraudulent Medicaid Housing Stabilization Services (HSS) claims related to autism and housing stabilization services in Minnesota is largely attributed to Somali community actors.

"Significant amounts of U.S. welfare funds are alleged to be funneled through fraud schemes and sent overseas, with claims that they fund al-Shabaab terrorism. If proven true, this is a testament to the complete failure of multiculturalism in U.S. immigration and integration policies"

Beautiful Trouble: How Outrage Is Scripted — and Why Most Protests Look the Same

These are not the "American People" speaking; they are the product of anti-American organizations and ideology that has metastasized into the lymph nodes of American culture, education, and turbo-charged by a corrupt press. TD

 Legal Insurrection  

"Visitors are invited to “dive into the Beautiful Trouble toolbox, an interconnected web of ideas and creative best practices that puts the power in your hands.' ”

https://spectator.org/

"For years, observers across the political spectrum have noticed how strikingly coordinated left-wing protests can be — and how familiar their tactics often seem from one demonstration to the next. What may look, in the moment, like an organic confrontation or a spontaneous eruption of outrage is frequently anything but. Behind the chants, the signs, and the carefully staged interactions with conservative targets lies a level of advance planning, rehearsal, and discipline that might surprise even the most seasoned political observers.

"At its core, politics is the art of persuasion: shaping narratives, directing attention, and mobilizing people in ways that translate belief into power. While hundreds of activist groups offer training in agitation and protest, one organization has distinguished itself: Beautiful Trouble has turned protest into a teachable methodology, blending theory, psychology, and performance into a cohesive playbook for modern activism.

"Visitors to the site are invited to “dive into the Beautiful Trouble toolbox, an interconnected web of ideas and creative best practices that puts the power in your hands.” That invitation hints at something beyond grassroots enthusiasm: an effort to professionalize protest by making carefully orchestrated exchanges appear impromptu." . . .

. . . "Applied to the context of the current protests against ICE, activists are trained to keep ratcheting up their tactics until an agent responds forcefully. That response is not an accident; it is the objective.

"Once achieved, activists rush to sympathetic media outlets to ensure the incident is amplified. In the resulting narrative, the ICE agent’s seemingly inappropriate response casts him as a villain — a member of the Gestapo even — while the activist who instigated the encounter is portrayed as the aggrieved party or the victim.

"By the time a full investigation is completed and the facts emerge — often revealing a narrative that places some or even most of the responsibility on the activist — the false version has already taken root in the public consciousness.

This is straight out of Beautiful Trouble. It's called mid-level violence, a type of provocation that puts its target in a "decision dilemma" using "strategically escalating" provocations until they get a reaction.

'You have tried to kill me three times,' Iran journalist tells official

Associated Press  "In a stunning moment, even for Security Council standards, Iranian journalist and political dissident Masih Alinejad addressed the Islamic Republic's representative seated at the council today directly."

Iranian dissident unloads on American left's silence on deadly protests  "Iranian-American activist Masih Alinejad is accusing the American left of turning its back on Iranian protesters amid reports of thousands of deaths and a near-total communications blackout imposed by the regime.

" 'The silence of [the] left and liberals in America and Europe is not an accidental silence. It’s an ideological silence," Alinejad said Tuesday on "Fox & Friends."

"Alinejad, who has been targeted by the Iranian regime for her activism, said Western activists and celebrities who loudly champion "Free Palestine" causes have remained silent as Iranians are killed in the streets.

" 'It will expose their hypocrisy," she said.

"It will expose how they sympathize with our killers, with Islamist terrorists."

"Iran’s regime is facing one of the largest anti-government movements in years. Iranian rights groups say thousands have been killed as security forces move to suppress demonstrations, with some estimates putting the death toll above 3,000, Fox News' Trey Yingst reported Monday.

"She accused Western figures of helping the regime by portraying protesters’ calls for regime change as a foreign plot led by Israel or President Donald Trump." . . .

 Cea Weaver Identifies the 'Huge Problem' Obstructing Her Communist Housing Agenda, and Guess What It Is

"So it's just like this challenging dynamic that white middle-class homeowners are a huge problem for a renter-justice movement," Weaver added.

"Communists have always, invariably, hated the middle class. That's why their policies destroy the middle class; they need the impoverished masses, over whom they can rule, and the wealthy class (of which they're a part). Everyone else is an obstacle to their communist agenda.

Most of the time, communists will present themselves as socialists, which is a less-charged but equally fetid ideology, and they'll pay lip service to the middle class, saying their policies will make things "better" for middle-class families. That's a lie." . . .

"Mamdani's swapping rugged individualism for the “warmth of collectivism” echoes Mussolini’s creed: the state above the individual—by design, not by accident."

What Is Individualism?   . . . "But what exactly is individualism, and how does it fit in the American tradition? Let’s explore this topic, starting with a definition:  Individualism is a philosophy that views people first and foremost as unique individuals rather than as members of a group. It emphasizes the importance of independence, individuality, and autonomy."

Douglas Murray: Trump cleaned up crime in DC – and taught everyone a lesson in public safety

 Douglas Murray  

"But how changed everything is now. Ever since President Trump decided to clean up Washington, DC, you can see the results for yourself. The Trump haters had a field day, of course."

"I never fail to be amazed at what we get used to.

"Trundling along in the New York subway the other day, I saw all the usual sights.

"Turnstile hoppers, of course, who never fail to aggravate me. 

"“Why am I the only mug who’s paying?” is my general feeling.

"“Why did I just effectively pay for that guy’s journey as well?,” I think.

"But perhaps these folks just misread New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s manifesto promises and think the subway, as well as the buses, are already free. 

"Then there were the homeless people everywhere, of course.

"And unlike the turnstile hoppers, I feel nothing but profound sadness for these people.

"It is such an indictment of a society that in one of the richest cities on Earth, we have so many people trying to find a patch of dry ground to make their own in this freezing weather. 

"And of course there are the crazy people, the unwell people and the people whom every passenger seems to be keeping a careful eye on as they holler at the subway car and shake their fists at the moon.

"This isn’t normal.

"It isn’t normal that a daily commute should also be a daily lesson in situational awareness.

"But the lurking possibility of violence is something we New Yorkers are all used to.

Fact Check: Did the US Under Obama Give Iran $150 Billion?

 Did Obama pay a ransom to Iran for our captured sailors? - American Thinker

 The payment of ransom will only encourage future kidnappings by the Iranians. Beyond that, the mocking, sneering rhetoric from Tehran toward the United States and our weakness in the face of aggression shows that our [groveling] response has emboldened the Iranians.  

US Navy under Democrat command

2016 U.S.–Iran naval incident - Wikipedia  "Follow up all links for more details on the ransom and the actions of those Democrats in a crisis."  Then Democrats were intimidated; in 2026 one has to see them as allies of any enemies of Israel and the United States. TD

. . . "One day after Iran released the 10 sailors they had abducted for straying into Iranian territorial waters, the administration released $1.7 billion in taxpayer dollars to Iran. The money was part of a settlement of a decades old legal claim by Iran and came from a special fund that the executive department can tap to pay claims against the US.

"Or was it a ransom paid for the kidnapped sailors?

"The administration insists the timing of the released funds is coincidental. But legislation introduced in Congress now seeks to discover the truth of the matter." . . .

Congressman: Classified Details of Iran’s Treatment of U.S. Sailors Will Shock Nation

 "Forbes suggested that Iran’s treatment of the U.S. sailors—which included filming them crying and forcing them to apologize at gunpoint—may have been much worse than what has been publicly reported."

 Pictured: US Navy mocked at Iran parade:

 Newsweek, 2023 "Relations between the U.S. and Iran worsened this week as Iran's foreign minister said the United States would suffer "heavy losses" if the Israel-Hamas conflict expanded.

"As tensions simmer, conservative commentators shared claims that President Barack Obama's administration had given $150 billion to Iran, effectively, they argued, funding Hamas.

"The Claim"

"A post on X by Jack Posobiec, posted on October 16, 2023, referenced a Charlie Kirk tweet from September 11, 2015, which stated "Iran funds Hamas. Hamas kills Americans and Jews. Now we give Iran $150 billion. Where do you think that money will go? #IranDeal"

"Posobiec wrote "Charlie warned us and now people are mad at him."

The Facts: 

Kirk, founder of conservative student group Turning Point USA, was likely referring to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which granted Iran access to frozen assets." . . .

False.  The U.S. did not "give" $150 billion to Iran in 2015. In 2015, as part of an international deal with Iran called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, Iran agreed to cut back on nuclear enrichment programs in exchange for the unfreezing of its own assets.The U.S. taxpayer paid nothing toward this, as might be implied by the post, and the value of the assets was said by some, including the U.S. Treasury, to be less than $150 billion. FACT CHECK BY Newsweek's Fact Check team" . . .

In another incident: Obama administration acknowledges $1.7B transfer to Iran was all cash - CBS News:   2016-- The Obama administration is acknowledging its transfer of $1.7 billion to Iran earlier this year was made entirely in cash, using non-U.S. currency.

"A Treasury spokeswoman says the cash payments were necessary because of the “effectiveness of U.S. and international sanctions,” which isolated Iran from the international finance system.

"The $1.7 billion was the settlement of a decades-old arbitration claim between the U.S. and Iran. 

"An initial $400 million cash delivery was sent Jan. 17, the same day Tehran agreed to release four American prisoners.

"The Obama administration had claimed the events were separate, but recently acknowledged the cash was used as leverage until the Americans were allowed to leave Iran" . . .

Douglas Murray: Conspiracy kook Tucker Carlson is no conservative . . .

. . .and no friend to Charlie Kirk and JD Vance  

"It’s a heck of a thing to claim to be friends with someone and then bring a guest onto your show who not only hounded your friend in life but mocks and smears his widow after his death."

Tucker Carlson hosted Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes on his podcast.

   "Tucker Carlson is not a good friend.

   "Just a few years ago, when the podcaster was pretending to be friends with President Trump, Carlson was caught privately saying of Trump: “I hate him passionately.”

   "In September, another person whom Carlson claimed to be friends with — Charlie Kirk — was shot dead. Carlson used the aftermath of his friend’s assassination not to demand that the suspect in the shooting be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. He didn’t seize the moment to insist that perhaps the radical left dial down its hateful rhetoric against conservatives and Republicans. Nor did he keep attention focused on the trans-extremist links of the alleged shooter.

   "No — Carlson chose to use the occasion to deflect attention from the perpetrator seized by the FBI and return to his pet obsession: the Jews.

   "In the wake of the assassination, Carlson was one of a number of kooky online influencers who suggested that Kirk’s views on Israel had been changing and that perhaps for this reason, the state of Israel had something to do with his murder. 

   "Then this past week, Carlson proved again what an appalling person he has become. He invited onto his show an avowed Holocaust denier and racist, Nick Fuentes.

   "We don’t need to linger here over all the horrifying bile that Fuentes has spewed out to his online followers. It is enough to say that he is so toxic, he could almost have been invented by the radical left as a way to delegitimize the political right in this country.

   "Any normal person would want to keep a million miles away from such a snarling, ugly actor. But if anyone was to sit down and give Fuentes one of the largest audiences of his career, you would have thought that there would be some hostile questions. The kind of relentlessly hostile questioning Carlson can do — such as in his recent astoundingly hostile interview with Ted Cruz.

   "But no — Carlson used his hours with Fuentes to simply launder Fuentes’ reputation and try to give him a veneer of reasonableness and respectability." . . . More...

"President Trump has racked up so many “Pinocchios” from The Washington Post’s “Fact Checker,” it’s a blessing we have the mainstream media to give us the unbiased truth.

"Thanks to them, here’s what we know FOR A FACT about last week’s shooting in Minneapolis:

— Renee Good was just a mother — not an activist!

"YES! Precisely! Except even The New York Times was forced to admit that Ms. Good was “participating” in an anti-ICE protest “when she was killed.” Her wife, Becca, who leapt out of the car to film Ms. Good interacting with ICE officers, can be seen on camera taunting them, saying “We don’t change our plates every morning, just so you know. It’ll be the same plate when you come talk to us later. ... You wanna come at us, you wanna come at us, I say go get yourself some lunch, big boy.”

— Ms. Good wasn’t interfering with police, she was innocently driving through the neighborhood ...

"YES! Precisely! Except she was intentionally blocking traffic, having stopped her van at a right angle in the middle of the street, then refusing to move. In the Times’ version, Ms. Good’s car was merely “blocking part of a road.” True, only the part covered by the length of her car. By that logic, the ICE officer only shot a “part” of her brain.

"Expert’s Corner: If you’re going to go with “a mother innocently driving by,” try to do it in a state where the Democratic Lt. Gov. has not been hectoring residents to “put their bodies on the line” to protect illegals from being “kidnapped” by ICE.

— and was POLITELY answering the officers’ questions ...

"YES! Precisely! Except agents weren’t asking any questions: They were telling Ms. Good to get out of her car. When a law enforcement officer tells you to get out of the car, you have to get out of the car. You don’t get to say, “I’m not in the mood today.”

— but their instructions were confusing, so she simply did what anyone would do, and tried to flee ...

"YES! Precisely! Except, “Get out of the car” is pretty clear. Instead of complying, Ms. Good stepped on the accelerator, as her wife was shouting, “Drive, baby, drive!” . . .More...

Zohran Mamdani’s brain trust is full of young, privileged lefty radicals with little government experience — who could one day lead NYC  "But Mamdani has done little after clinching the Dem nomination in June to build up a strong stable of seasoned hands or those bearing the calluses of the working-class voters whom he champions. Out of roughly 20 operatives in Mamdani’s inner circle, eight are under 36 years old"

"Three of those politicos have ties to Soros, the progressive activist and investor — and about half a dozen grew up in million-dollar pads, according to Zillow estimates, with access to celebrities and private schools."  . . .

. . . "A strong collective of Zohran Mamdani’s core brain trust are 30-somethings or even younger Gen Zers with little to no experience in government — but long histories of radical left-wing politics, a review by The Post found." . . .

. . . “We’re getting ready for another administration of shocking naïveté,” one Democratic operative said." . . .

“Notwithstanding (former Mayor Bill) de Blasio retreads, the Mamdani administration will be even less experienced at government than Mayor Mamdani himself. For a city government the size of New York, that’s an operational nightmare. Good luck with the budget and unions.”
