‘Arctic Angels’ Probably Aren’t Headed for St Paul. Sorry.

The 11th Airborne Division is generally comprised of light infantry and airborne infantry specializing in arctic warfare. They're about Hoth-level stuff. Downtown St. Paul is not that.

ICE has a bsky account. Adjust your preferences accordingly.

I predict that Jonathan Ross's "internal bleeding" will have healed just as quickly and thoroughly as Donald Trump's "gunshot wound" to his ear.

Our society used to have guard rails on free speech that suggested that truth mattered (and network news personalities were trusted guests in living rooms across America). But now the federal government catches and kills unflattering points of view, facts, and truth.

No need to add a single word.
How much longer are we going to continue to tolerate this?
How many more will have to be killed before this js stopped?
WHERE ARE OUR LAWMAKERS?
It is there responsibility to act.

Any move Iran may make against the Strait of Hormuz may further provoke the U.S. into moving against Tehran. As of 2022, the U.S. received about 12% of its oil imports from Persian Gulf countries, and did about $25 MM USD worth of imports from those states overall in 2024.
Gulf States Urge U.S. to Avoid Iran Intervention
"The control exerted by the Iranian regime at least provides the Gulf with some predictability," said Michael Ratney, former U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia under the Biden Administration. #Iran #oil #Oman #Qatar #SaudiArabia

🚨TOMORROW: SPECIAL MEETING ON VENEZUELA🚨

Republicans have failed to hold ANY public hearings on Trump’s actions in Venezuela and the Caribbean, so Ranking Member @meeks.house.gov and HFAC Dems will host one with expert testimony.

CALL TO ACTION: DOJ won’t investigate Renee Good’s killer, but they ARE investigating her widow. This is horrifyingly wrong. Make your voice heard by calling DOJ’s civil rights office at (202) 514-3847. Together, we can make a difference. #justiceforrenee #begood youtube.com/shorts/Ef4p9...

The Civil Rights Division is charged with investigating constitutional rights violations by law enforcement officers. Yet no such investigations of ICE misconduct have occurred.

A Trump Administration decision to take over Iran's oil industry would be met with significant resistance from China -- but the U.S. could control 20% of the oil destined for the PRC. #Iran #China #Israel #Oil
What a U.S. Move Against Iranian Oil Could Mean for Relations with China
Clearly the Venezuela operation and related oil grab is fresh on the minds of Iranian leadership. Iran is the world's seventh largest oil producer, supplying four million barrels per day. It is estimated to have ten percent of all global oil reserves within its borders. Most importantly, China buys 90% of its oil production. If the U.S. was to move against Iran's oil industry, it could be positioned to deny China 20% of its oil imports.

Just misread a game title as “Live for Bacon.”

It’s actually “Like a Dragon,” but I wouldn’t have clicked on it had I read it correctly.

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

Does anyone else find it completely hypocritical that the US is threatening to “intervene” in Iran if they shoot protesters, while they’re over here SHOOTING PROTESTERS??

Minutes ago, Iran International, citing the Times, reported that President Trump has been briefed on military options against Tehran in recent days in response to Iran's crackdown on protesters.
Currency Crash in Iran Prompts Widespread Protests, Government Crackdown; Trump Threatens Air Strikes
Perhaps feeling emboldened by a successful operation in Venezuela and strikes against ISIS in Syria, President Trump reacted to nationwide unrest in Iran with threats of military force against Tehran. Fueled by the value of the rial -- the Iranian currency -- reaching a new low against the U.S. dollar at the close of 2025, popular unrest has grown over the past couple of weeks.

U.S. oil companies were unprepared for the President's remarks concerning massive investment in Venezuela. Some are still litigating their losses from nationalization back in 1976.
Challenges for American Oil Firms in Venezuelan Market
In yesterday's post, I included the following comment (among others): Oil is relatively plentiful, given the emergence of EVs. Global demand is down. American oil firms must include this in the calculus of a return to Venezuela. Another consideration: Venezuela's crude is thick, corrosive, and sour. Extraction requires additional skill, advanced metallurgy, and additional refinement. All are added costs. One begins to wonder if investors will be signing up for negative ROI.
