🇪🇺🚨| ¡SE PUDRIÓ TODO! El Parlamento Europeo, acaba de aprobar el plan de detención y deportación de migrantes más radical jamás propuesto, y las expulsiones y retornos de ilegales se aplicarán inmediatamente. ¡Esto es algo sin PRECEDENTES!

I always knew he was a douche

On behalf of the largest police news outlet in the world, the Detroit police chief needs to resign in disgrace. This, after a Detroit sergeant- a 27-year veteran - was suspended without pay. What did he do that was so horrible? He called Border Patrol to help ID a driver with a fake electronic Michigan license during a traffic stop—per her lieutenant's direction. So to be clear - cops are now facing punishment for working with feds to uphold the law. REPOST for widespread exposure! #thinblueline #lawenforcement

@mpls_spring Community driven checkpoint. Got it. Totally legal.

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.

@MrAndyNgo @Jacob_Frey @grok is this video AI?

Our bias is on full display ever episode. Come join us while we tell one side of the news story!

Day 500 of us repeating Democrats talking points.

A quick note on @SecWar. Democrats never wanted @PeteHegseth. He was and is a threat to permanent Washington’s status quo. They didn’t defeat the nomination and they tried hard. I saw all the behind the scenes craziness. He was their top target. Since then there have been countless “anonymous” leaks meant to undermine him and thwart President Trump and other Realists in the Administration. Bogus story after bogus story. It’s the same tired playbook. And for their next act? —They want him tried for war crimes. Yep—war crimes. They intend to prosecute another political opponent. They have lost it. Congressional Democrats are fueled by a radicalized Leftist base and are hellbent on power. The rules don’t matter to them. At all. Sound familiar? Russiagate, Dem censorship, Covid tyranny, Dem weaponization of DOJ TO MY FELLOW REPUBLICANS: Understand this reality and never bend the knee to this bullshit. Fight back. The liberal media will never love you.

Make no mistake, we never said that our podcast is not biased. Please stop expecting us to be fair.

Today’s episode was extra partisan. We shared almost exclusively Democratic sound bites throughout the episode in an effort to persuade you. Hope you enjoyed it.

Do you think the sow is partisan?

Join us this week while we ask why Republicans won’t let Democrats open the government.

@glonicolette12 We are trying to stay balanced, even though we sku heavily towards left leaning audiences.

I begin my mornings with the @StarthereABC podcast and I can’t help but wonder why they haven’t been reporting on the flotilla on its way to Gaza…

@MJTruthUltra ABC does not buy it either.

UPDATE: Charlie Kirk Utah District Attorney discusses Tyler Robinson Text Messages.. and I’m sorry, it sounds like a bunch of baloney 🔻 Text Messages Robinson: "I have a chance to take out Charlie Kirk, I'm going to take it." Boyfriend: what? You’re joking right? Robinson: I'm still okay, my love, but stuck (not clear).. I've got to grab my rifle still. To be honest, I had hoped to keep the secret until I died of old age. I am sorry to involve you. Boyfriend: you were the one who did it, right? Robinson: I am. I am. I’m sorry. Boyfriend: I thought they caught the person? Robinson: no they grabbed some crazy old dude and interrogated someone in similar clothing. I planned to grab my rifle from my drop point shortly after. Most of that side of town got locked down. It’s quiet almost enough to get out, but one vehicle lingering. Boyfriend: why? Robinson: why did I do it? Boyfriend: yeah Robinson: I’ve had enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out. If I’m able to grab my rifle unseen, I will have left no evidence. Going to attempt to retrieve it again. Hopefully they’ve moved on. I haven’t seen anything about them finding it Boyfriend: How long have you been planning this? Robinson: a bit over a week. I can get close to it, but there’s a squad car parked right by it. I think they already swept that spot but don’t want to chance it. I’m wishing I circled back and grabbed it as soon as I got back to my vehicle. I’m worried what my old man would do if I didn’t bring back grandpas rifle. Idk if it has a serial number but wouldn’t trace to me. I worry about prints, I had to leave it in a bush where I changed outfits. Didn’t have the ability to time to bring it with. I might have to abandon it and hope they don’t find prints. How the F will I explain losing it to my old man. Only thing I left was the rifle left in the towel. The f’ing messages are mostly a big meme… judgement today, I’d say grandpas gun does just fine, I think that’s as a $2k scope. Robinson: Delete this exchange. My dad wants photos of the rifle. Grandpa wants to know who has what. The Feds released a photo of the rifle and it’s very unique. He’s calling me RN. Robinson: Since Trump got into office my dad has been pretty die hard MAGA. I’m gonna turn myself in willingly. One of my neighbors is a deputy for the sheriff. You are all I worry about love. I’m much more worried about you. Don’t talk to the media please, don’t take any interviews, or make any comments. If any police ask you questions, ask for a lawyer and stay silent.” I AM NOT BUYING IT…. YOU? rumble.com/v6z1llw-utah-d…

@MathewPassy Yeah, caught that too. 👍

The @StarthereABC team is so clever that when I hear the same clip twice in an episode, I keep listening, waiting for them to make a joke about AI editing this episode.
