From the editor 01-15-26

January 14, 2026 by Staff Writer

By Beth David, Editor

So now, in America, being rude to a law enforcement officer is punishable by death on the spot. An ICE agent shot a woman in the face in Minneapolis (see page 11). The Big Buffoon said she was disrespectful, so it’s okay that she was shot in the face.

How can any of you still support this fascist, sexist POS? It is insane that our government is sending masked goons in military gear all over the country terrorizing people. And when neighbors show up to object, they are brutally thrown to the ground and, now, shot in the face.

When Big Brother says “halt” or “go” or “sit” or “fetch” or “bark” or anything, you’d better do it or you’re going to get shot in the face.

And do NOT tell me she was trying to run him down. Use your own f’g eyes. Believe your own eyes.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” (George Orwell, 1984)

Being rude to a police officer is not a capital offense.

Trying to get away is not a capital offense.

Saying, “That’s fine, dude, I’m not mad at you,” is not a capital offense. 

And even if those things were, the nearest cop with a gun does not get to play judge, jury, and executioner on the spot.

How is anyone okay with this?

His goons are going door to door looking for people to brutalize. His goons are stopping anyone they feel like stopping and demanding to see their papers…proof they are American citizens. Since when is that how freedom works? And, for the record, those of you who clearly missed fifth grade: It is not illegal to be in this country if you are not a citizen. Being foreign born is not illegal, it never was. 

This guy is destroying everything that makes us who we are. So, who hates America, exactly?

And now he’s declared himself the acting president of Venezuela? 

You’re in a damned cult. Get help.

The people pushing back and risking getting arrested and hurt, yes, very much hurt, by the ICE goons are the real patriots. They are good neighbors. They know what America is supposed to be about. 

What will it take for you to wake up? Does he have to kill someone you know? Does he have to kill 1,000 people? 10,000? Or maybe just your 401K has to crash. What will it take? 

There is nothing free about not being able to go about your business because government goons can detain you at any time for no reason, make you disappear, or shoot you in the face. Our democracy is ruined. And it will take generations to get it back.

Pay attention, Trumpers. Your guy is killing this country. Or, better yet, get a fifth grade Social Studies/Civics class textbook and read it. Read it twice if you have to. 

Until next week, then, see ya,

Glory to Ukraine!
Glory to the Heroes!
