  1. “Check out the three concepts Trump posted for the arch he’s building in DC (I’m sure the libs won’t lose their minds over this)”

    Not The Bee, Harambe Harambe, January 24, 2026

    “Trump has said in the past that he wants to build the American version of the Arc de Triomphe in Washington DC, proposing the Memorial Circle Arch last year. Friday, he released some concept art for the arch over on Truth Social:

    Let’s see if we can do a little zoom and enhance for you:

    Arch 1

    Arch 2

    Arch 3

    And just for fun, we’ll put it to a vote. I’ll be straight up and tell you I like Arch 2 because it’s the loudest, has all the gold, and has the classic Roman/Greek look on the statues instead of the real people.”

    But what do you think? Which arch do you prefer?

    Arch #1 — 46%

    Arch #2 — 34%

    Arch #3 — 20%

    I’m sure when the original Washington Monument was proposed that it had its naysayers too, but now it’s a classic. But because it’s Trump, everyone will suddenly act like building monuments is the most evil and dystopian thing they’ve ever heard of.”

      Seems the church that was invaded, was far, FAR, FAR, worse than I, perhaps we have read.

      The invasion of Cities Church was even worse than we thought.

      Agitators blocked stairs so “parents were unable to get to their children” at Sunday School.https://abs-0.twimg.com/emoji/v2/svg/1f621.svg

      One told a kid, “Do you know your parents are Nazis, they’re going to burn in hell?”

      William Kelly, “DaWoke Farmer,” shouted, “This ain’t God’s house. This is the house of the devil.”

      About 50 members of the congregation were “stuck” towards the front of the church. Not only did the agitators take over the service, but they “made it nearly impossible for parishioners to get out and leave.”

      One woman broke her arm.

      Congregants “were terrorized, our children were weeping, college students and young women were sobbing, it was impactfly and it will take time to work through.”

      An agitator “continued to scream in the faces of young children while they were crying.”

      Nekima Armstrong, a main ringleader, said that @citieschurch “cannot pretend to be a house of God while harboring someone who is directing ICE agents to wreak havoc upon our community and who killed Renee Good.”

      Make no mistake: this church invasion was an atrocity.

      Sadly, Democrats like @Jacob_Frey , are carrying water for the agitators. Judges denied arrest warrants for 5 of the 8 charged defendants.

      But @HarmeetKDhillon says this isn’t over. Stay tuned.

  6. Just The News: “Former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama denounced federal immigration enforcement tactics after the killing of Alex Pretti, describing his death as a tragedy and urging the Trump administration to change course in Minnesota.

    In a joint statement, the Obamas said Pretti’s killing should serve as a “wake-up call” for Americans across the political spectrum, arguing that core national values are being undermined by what they described as aggressive and unaccountable federal actions.

    They said while federal law enforcement and immigration agents face difficult responsibilities, the public expects them to operate lawfully and in coordination with state and local officials to protect public safety.

    “That’s not what we’re seeing in Minnesota,” the statement said, accusing federal agents of acting “with impunity” and employing tactics that appeared designed to intimidate and provoke residents. 

    The Obamas pointed to the use of masked agents and methods they described as unprecedented, mentioning that a former top lawyer at the Department of Homeland Security during the first Trump administration had criticized the approach as “embarrassing, lawless and cruel.”

    The former president and first lady said those tactics have now resulted in the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens, Pretti and Renee Good. 

    “For weeks now, people across the country have been rightly outraged by the spectacle of masked ICE recruits and other federal agents acting with impunity and engaging in tactics that seem designed to intimidate, harass, provoke and endanger the residents of a major American city,” they wrote. 

    They criticized the administration for, in their view, escalating tensions in Minneapolis. The statement also took issue with public explanations offered by administration officials, saying they appeared to conflict with video evidence of Pretti’s killing.

    “This has to stop,” the Obamas said, urging federal officials to reconsider their approach and work more constructively with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and state and local law enforcement to prevent further violence while pursuing legitimate enforcement goals.

    The statement also expressed support for ongoing protests in Minneapolis and other cities.

    “In the meantime, every American should support and draw inspiration from the wave of peaceful protests in Minneapolis and other parts of the country. They are a timely reminder that ultimately it’s up to each of us as citizens to speak out against injustice, protect our basic freedoms, and hold our government accountable,” they said.”

    Abiding Citizens, and they have created dangerous circumstances for EVERYONE involved. Tragically, two American Citizens have lost their lives as a result of this Democrat ensued chaos.

    That is why I am hereby calling on Governor Walz, Mayor Frey, and EVERY Democrat Governor and Mayor in the United States of America to formally cooperate with the Trump Administration to enforce our Nation’s Laws, rather than resist and stoke the flames of Division, Chaos, and Violence:

    1. Governor Walz and Mayor Frey should turn over all Criminal Illegal Aliens that are currently incarcerated in their State Prisons and Jails to Federal Authorities, along with all Illegal Criminals with an active warrant or known Criminal History, for Immediate Deportation.
    2. State and Local Law Enforcement must agree to turn over all Illegal Aliens arrested by Local Police.
    3. Local Police must assist Federal Law Enforcement in apprehending and detaining Illegal Aliens who are wanted for Crimes.
    4. Democrat Politicians must partner with the Federal Government to protect American Citizens in the rapid removal of all Criminal Illegal Aliens in our Country. Some Democrats, in places like Memphis, Tennessee, or Washington, D.C., have done so, resulting in safer streets for ALL.

    In addition, I am hereby calling on the United States Congress to immediately pass Legislation to END Sanctuary Cities, which is the root cause of all of these problems. American Cities should be Safe Sanctuaries for Law Abiding American Citizens ONLY, not Illegal Alien Criminals who broke our Nation’s Laws.

    All of these requests are rooted in COMMON SENSE, and will provide the best possible circumstances to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! The Trump Administration is standing by, and waiting for ANY Democrat to do the right thing, and work with us on these important matters of MAKING AMERICA SAFE like it is in all sections of our Country where we are, together with Local Leadership, participating and involved.

    DONALD J. TRUMP
    PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
