Let em all secede and good riddance.
"The time for war has not yet come, but it will come and that soon, and when it does come, my advice is to draw the sword and throw away the scabbard." Gen. T.J. Jackson, March 1861

I doubt it will, few people really care about some rich dead white lady. But I've been wrong before...

This is getting pretty dicey. URGENT UPDATE: I’ve never experienced anything quite like today in my life. I’ve interacted with the Cartel and have witnessed some crazy things in the desert in ‘24. But what strikes me is how organized these agitators in Minneapolis are. They have spotters everywhere in the city and suburbs, on street corners, even 30 minutes away from downtown. They have people at hotels that work with them and signal to them which made it making it difficult for us to lose our tail once my cover was blown. Usually I lose a tail. Not this time. We switched locations THREE times. I recorded and posted this while leaving Wayzata, while they were STILL surveilling. We all agreed we must make the threats public ASAP, even if we had people still in the field with the hidden cams.
Earlier around noon, while @camhigby released his report on the Signal threads, I was inside what appeared to be a fully autonomous Zone. No police presence. The police were told to leave. I identified myself as Press and they said they will kill Press and will not let me leave. My skin was fully covered because it was so cold. But because they couldn’t verify who I was, they screamed and started throwing ice bottles at us. One hit, @SKRUCHTENMMA , a marine who was with me. They patted him down like THEY were the authorities, attempting to confiscate any weapons. They were set to destroy our vehicle before we even got to it. I will have a full video report shortly.
But the bigger picture here is more important. I am angry. But not at the agitators. I find myself already angry at the people who don’t understand what we’re dealing with and will do nothing about it. When I got to the suburbs I felt like I was in a simulation.
I believe the American people need to wake up. This moment is a warning about where we’re headed. Fear pushes people to care only about their money and their families—I get it. But when fear turns inward, when self-preservation and greed replace moral courage, evil goes unchallenged. And history shows that what we ignore today will come for all of us tomorrow.
Ironically and incredibly, I see that these Communists do not fear death in the same way most good people seem to. The only thing the Communists fear is exposure itself. And that’s good news because it may be our only option.
I’m dead serious about investigating the prosecutors themselves if they don’t hold these Minnesota fraudsters and violent mobsters accountable for what they’re doing. Stay tuned for the videos. Onward and upward, airforce

That's it! It's not an insurrection after all!
Only Pothole Pete Buttigieg could come up with something like this.

The John Brown Gun Club is starting to show up. Via Grok: The John Brown Gun Club (JBGC) refers to a loose network of leftist, anti-fascist, and community defense organizations across the United States that advocate for armed self-defense, gun rights from a progressive perspective, and opposition to far-right extremism, racism, and fascism.
Origins and History
The name draws inspiration from John Brown, the 19th-century abolitionist who led a violent raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859 to spark a slave uprising against slavery.
The original John Brown Gun Club was founded around 2002–2004 in Lawrence, Kansas, as a small community defense group.
In 2016, it evolved into or inspired Redneck Revolt, a broader national network that emphasized anti-racist, anti-fascist armed community defense among working-class people (often reclaiming "redneck" as a term for rural, labor-oriented folks). Redneck Revolt disbanded in 2019, but many local chapters rebranded or continued independently as John Brown Gun Clubs.
Activities and Focus
These groups are decentralized — there is no single national organization, and chapters operate independently in places like Rhode Island, Puget Sound (Washington), Connecticut, Texas, and others.
Common activities include:
Firearms training and shooting range events.
Community self-defense and mutual aid (e.g., patrols, disaster relief support).
Countering far-right rallies or threats to marginalized communities (e.g., protecting protests or events from armed right-wing groups).
Promoting anti-capitalist, anti-racist, pro-worker values.
They often describe themselves as "community defense" rather than militias, focusing on protecting vulnerable people in an era of rising far-right armed presence.
Controversies and Perceptions
Some critics (including right-wing sources and extremism trackers) label them as far-left extremists or associate them with violence, citing incidents like a 2019 attack on an ICE facility in Tacoma by someone linked to a related group.
Supporters view them as a necessary counterbalance to armed right-wing militias and police violence.
They have faced scrutiny from law enforcement and political figures, with some states or bills referencing them in discussions of domestic extremism.
Overall, the John Brown Gun Club represents a growing trend of left-wing armed activism in response to perceived threats from the far right, emphasizing community protection over offensive action. Individual chapters vary in size and activity Onward and upward, airforce

Who is behind the ICE resistance movement?Radical leftist groups, including one financed with $7.8 million from progressive billionaire George Soros, are behind the anti-ICE protests in Minnesota, The Post has learned.
Indivisible Twin Cities, which describes itself as a grassroots group of volunteers, has led many of the protests against ICE raids in Minnesota, where Renee Nicole Good was shot dead Wednesday after allegedly trying to mow down an ICE agent with her vehicle.
Indivisible is an offshoot of the Indivisible Project in Washington, DC, which bills itself as a movement to defeat the “Trump agenda,” and received $7,850,000 from Soros’ Open Society Foundations between 2018 and 2023, according to public records.
The controversial group was also behind recent pro-Venezuela protests and “No Kings” demonstrations against the Trump administration throughout the country last year.
In addition to Indivisible Twin Cities — which does not identify its leaders on its website — other protest leaders include the Council on American-Islamic Relations, an anti-Israel group whose Minnesota chapter’s executive director Jaylani Hussein has rallied against ICE at protests.
“A young observer killed in the line of observing, we believe in a peaceful manner. They are lying, as you hear today. They already shared lies about what took place,” Hussein said, speaking into a megaphone at an anti-ICE demonstration Wednesday.
Good, a sometime poet, has been described by leftist sources as a “legal observer” during the residential ICE action where she died.
Good, who moved from Colorado to Minnesota last year, was an anti-ICE “warrior” and a member of “ICE Watch,” a coalition of activists dedicated to disrupting ICE raids in Minneapolis, The Post recently revealed.
Nekima Levy Armstrong, the founder of the Racial Justice Network, has also been a leader of the demonstrations.
PhD student Edwin Torres DeSantiago heads up the Immigrant Defense Network, an umbrella group that works with 90 other nonprofits on immigrants’ rights.
The Minnesota attorney and civil rights activist is one of the people helping organize the so-called “legal observers” who show up at raids throughout the city to document the federal agents’ activities, according to social media posts.
She also posts information about vigils and demonstrations on her social media accounts. Armstrong played a prominent role during the protests after George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis in May 2020, according to reports.
When embattled Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz announced that he would not be seeking re-election amid a sprawling welfare fraud in the state earlier this week, Armstrong criticized his move as a “retreat.”
“When Democrats respond to bad-faith attacks by retreating, they don’t just lose candidates,” Armstrong said in a Facebook post.
“They legitimize the tactic. They teach voters that propaganda works, that cruelty carries no cost, and that marginalized communities can be used as political weapons without consequence. Whatever the intentions, the cumulative effect is strategic capitulation.”
Other protest leaders include Edwin Torres DeSantiago, who heads up the Immigrant Defense Network, which describes itself as an umbrella group for more than 90 nonprofits and religious groups working to protect the rights of immigrants.
Born in El Salvador, DeSantiago is the first undocumented immigrant to pursue a doctorate at the University of Minnesota.
Following Good’s death, DeSantiago accused President Trump of sowing “terror and chaos” in Minneapolis. Plenty of photos at the link. Onward and upward, airforce

What might be coming: Pres Trump:
"I sent the VP to Minnesota to try and calm the waters and reach an understanding with the Gov. and Mayor. They declined to help."
"I sent Tom Homan, with 40 years of professional experience, awarded the highest possible award by Pres. Obama, and asked him to reach an understanding with the Gov. and Mayor. They declined to help."
So now I'm sending David Gardner up there. I'm sure he'll reach out to the Governor and Mayor to hear their views. Then he'll do what he thinks best.
Who is he? I should have been more expansive on my introduction.
He is Major General David Gardner, Commanding Officer of the 101st Airborne Division of the United State Army. They will arrive in helicopters." Onward and upward, airforce
