Everyone curses the “are you sure you want to dispose of this very valuable item” prompt as an unnecessary extra button push and waste of time…until there isn’t that prompt…and something like this happens.

WGN, this woman’s employer, is now reporting she was not charged with any crimes and was released.

DHS said earlier she was arrested for assault for throwing objects at agents.

An endorsement of Sharia Law in the U.S.

Here's the framing we should put on this.

"Hegseth announces that sharia law will apply to part of Idaho AF base"

Yes Qatar is governed by sharia law. UAE is more complicated but it partially follows sharia.

Hegseth: "I'm also proud that today we're signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emeri air force facility at the Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho."

Somehow the new boss asking “so what do you guys do here?” doesn’t inspire confidence.

Pass it on: If you FILE A COMPLAINT about police activity, it flags the body-worn camera video so reporters can obtain it later via FOIA requests.

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

It’s among the longest running and laziest lies they run with…you almost literally have to be a mindless sheep to nod along in agreement with this nonsense. Zombie-like morons walking around muttering “Soros…..soooorrrrrrooooosssss”

On the 18th we need to be vigilant for increased violence and provocation by both law enforcement and counter-protestors, both of which will be used to try to justify more violence and authoritarianism.

No journalist is ever going to ask for any evidence that Soros has backed every protest going back several decades now? Just let them constantly repeat the lie completely unchecked.

The Speaker of the House is telling the Fox News audience that a peaceful demonstration by Americans on the National Mall will actually be a gathering of organizations the administration has designated as violent terrorists.

Seems bad?

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

Speaker Mike Johnson, standing next to Emmer here, urged Democrats less than a month ago to "turn down their rhetoric," saying, "Nazis and fascists is not helpful."

As such, striking to see him stand quietly as a fellow Republican insists there is a "terrorist wing" of the Democratic Party.

The desire to not have a king is an anti-American notion to republicans…this is the GOP now…desperate for a despot.

paulito.bsky.social @paulito.bsky.social · 1d

Yea Mike…a “no kings” rally is a “hate America”rally. Same same.

The line to tickle Trump’s taint is filled with people who won’t just do it but actually harbor a deep desire to do it. Mike’s sexual attraction to Trump is palpable. Weird…but…palpable.
