As a former Special Forces Warrant Officer with multiple rotations running counterinsurgency ops—both hunting insurgents and trying to separate them from sympathetic populations—I’ve seen organized resistance up close. From Anbar to Helmand, the pattern is familiar: spotters, cutouts, dead drops (or modern equivalents), disciplined comms, role specialization, and a willingness to absorb casualties while bleeding the stronger force slowly. What’s unfolding in Minneapolis right now isn’t “protest.” It’s low-level insurgency infrastructure, built by people who’ve clearly studied the playbook. Signal groups at 1,000-member cap per zone. Dedicated roles: mobile chasers, plate checkers logging vehicle data into shared databases, 24/7 dispatch nodes vectoring assets, SALUTE-style reporting (Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, Equipment) on suspected federal vehicles. Daily chat rotations and timed deletions to frustrate forensic recovery. Vetting processes for new joiners. Mutual aid from sympathetic locals (teachers providing cover, possible PD tip-offs on license plate lookups). Home-base coordination points. Rapid escalation from observation to physical obstruction—or worse. This isn’t spontaneous outrage. This is C2 (command and control) with redundancy, OPSEC hygiene, and task organization that would make a SF team sergeant nod in recognition. Replace “ICE agents” with “occupying coalition forces” and the structure maps almost 1:1 to early-stage urban cells we hunted in the mid-2000s. The most sobering part? It’s domestic. Funded, trained (somewhere), and directed by people who live in the same country they’re trying to paralyze law enforcement in. When your own citizens build and operate this level of parallel intelligence and rapid-response network against federal officers—complete with doxxing, vehicle pursuits, and harassment that’s already turned lethal—you’re no longer dealing with civil disobedience. You’re facing a distributed resistance that’s learned the lessons of successful insurgencies: stay below the kinetic threshold most of the time, force over-reaction when possible, maintain popular support through narrative, and never present a single center of gravity. I spent years training partner forces to dismantle exactly this kind of apparatus. Now pieces of it are standing up in American cities, enabled by elements of local government and civil society. That should keep every thinking American awake at night. Not because I want escalation. But because history shows these things don’t de-escalate on their own once the infrastructure exists and the cadre believe they’re winning the information war. We either recognize what we’re actually looking at—or we pretend it’s still just “activism” until the structures harden and spread. Your call, America. But from where I sit, this isn’t January 2026 politics anymore. It’s phase one of something we’ve spent decades trying to keep off our own soil.

We are trying to rescue a downed American in Iran. Hegseth’s boasts about “no quarter,” “no mercy,” and axing “stupid rules of engagement” mean we have to hope that Iran follows the humanitarian laws that US leaders now dismiss. axios.com/2026/03/15/tru…

Don’t forget that not only did every single ape in Iryna’s train car avoid her like the plague but they also didn’t call for help, warn people about the attacker, and instead filmed Iryna dying in a pool of her own blood

I cannot imagine the gall required to bill a $17k yacht rental to your campaign, much less trips to a Dubai resort. Incredible that this is just standard operating procedure for this guy.

NEWS Eric Swalwell’s new and prior financial disclosures show a mix of questionable charges to his campaign, and dubious tax and cash management strategies amid signs of a cash crunch worsened by overspending on a high-flying lifestyle. Swalwell runs a high-earning $461K two-income household, but still charged dubious expenses to his campaign, made chronic and risky delays in paying income taxes, and made precarious withdrawals from retirement accounts. He charged more than $244,000 in childcare expenses—tuition, daycare—to his campaign from 2019 to 2025, his disclosures show and the Sacramento Bee found. That’s the highest in the House, with nearly $60,000 in 2022 alone. Here’s the possible ethics problem. They are permitted under FEC law only if the charges are incurred in years the candidate is running for office or performing campaign duties. But in three of those six years he was not running for office. He charged $20K in childcare costs just days after his 2024 re-election. These FEC laws are notably lax (House members rarely charge these costs to their campaigns, reportedly only 68 during that time frame). The reporting has been out there that Swalwell has also charged luxury items to his campaign, such as stays at high-end hotels (including a well-known luxury hotel in Dubai), a $17K yacht rental, and costly airfare and travel totaling tens of thousands of dollars. He charged $360K for car and limo services paid to a campaign staffer since 2021, reports show, and he charged for thousands of dollars spent on restaurants. Swalwell’s campaign spent nearly $90,000 on travel in just the last quarter of 2023. His household has large student loan debt, up to $100K, $15K-50K credit card balances, and a $1M-5M mortgage. One of the biggest red flags his financial world is out of control is he reduced or zeroed out his tax withholding on his congressional salary in some years, effectively delaying paying federal taxes and incurring penalties. Also he and his wife pulled significant cash, more than $145,000, from retirement accounts over several years. #News @EveningEdit @FoxBusiness @FoxNews @ap @CBSNews @abc @ReutersBiz @reuters @WhatsNewsWSJ @WSJ #ericswalwell @ericswalwell

🚨 WOW. California governor candidate Steve Hilton (R) exposes that Gavin Newsom and Democrats shoved a $1,350 PER MONTH CHARGE for 20 years on every new single family home into a bill "They snuck it into the bill that was supposed to SOLVE their housing crisis!" "Vehicle Miles Travelled, and it's yet another sneaky, stealthy way that the Democrats in charge of California want to gouge you for the crime of driving your car." "They're trying to punish single-family homes. They want to stop single-family homes from being built, and so they're going to put this charge on it, VMT, because if you build a new home, people are going to drive to their new home. That's vehicle miles travelled." "They are trying to sneak in a charge, wait for it, of $1,350 per month for 20 years on every new single-family home. And this is in the bill, AB130, that Gavin Newsom said would solve the housing crisis. They don't want to solve the housing crisis." California needs to wake up and vote red for once!

Anyone telling you differently is lying. You can incarcerate your way out of crime. When violent criminals are not on the streets they cannot commit violent crimes. Releasing violent criminals creates more violent crimes. They prey on the innocent. It’s so easy. So Simple.

The state of major American cities is a choice. Look at what @nayibbukele has done to El Salvador in just a few years. From the most dangerous to the safest nation in the west. Areas like this look like a utopia for families compared to most major cities now. We can do it too.

Así luce este Viernes Santo el corazón de El Salvador. Una verdadera transformación, con seguridad, paz y libertad en la era de @nayibbukele. 🇸🇻❤️

I cut this from an hour-long episode of William F. Buckley Jr.’s Firing Line. The other guest, Dorothy Fuldheim, interrupted Ben Stein relentlessly, and distracted from the point. youtube.com/watch?v=WYt9d1…

Jada Pinkett Smith says no matter how hard Will Smith tried to make her happy, it didn’t work. She later realized it wasn’t his responsibility, and admits she sought happiness in other people while still married, saying it helped her heal 😳🤔

Housing is a human right and evictions are an act of policy violence. My HELP Act would give a lifeline to families facing eviction and vital resources during this time of crisis.

When all the fake Trump shills like @nicksortor and @bennyjohnson try to come out and convince you everything is FINE and nothing to see here folks, then that tells me something is probably going on, My spidey sense is tingling,... Look retards, i said UNCONFIRMED twice in the Post as in i do NOT know one way or the other if it is true or not, so i'm not lying about anything. However when it';s blowing up on my feed and fucking doctors and saying it's true it's my job as a journalist to report on it. \ So suck it losers. I will post an update when i can either confirm or deny it.

🚨 BREAKING: White House Just Dropped a Full “LID” — UNCONFIRMED Reports Trump Has Been Rushed To Walter Reed Hospital🚑🔍 Moments ago, the White House press office issued a “lid” — official D.C. jargon for: “No more public events, no photo ops, no updates for the rest of the day. Press can stand down.”This is normally routine… but right now unconfirmed reports are exploding claiming President Trump has been rushed to Walter Reed Hospital. Road closures reported around the facility. Public schedule completely wiped for Easter weekend. PLUS — a video has now surfaced that appears to show Trump’s motorcade en route to the hospital.All reports and reposts remain unconfirmed. Is it just a quiet Saturday night? Or something bigger?This is a fast-moving developing story. Stay tuned. Repost if you want real-time updates.

@mio20200701 If you've never heard of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, it's essentially the same flavor combination: grape and peanut. (Just so you know: Japanese peanut cream is NOT the same as American peanut butter - ours is much less sweet and more salty)
