From the editor 01-29-26

January 28, 2026 by Staff Writer

By Beth David, Editor

They did it again. 

ICE shot another pro­tester. Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. Tell me again how ICE is only going after the worst of the worst. Then take the bag off your head.

They said he had a gun, so they named him a terrorist, too. It doesn’t matter that he never pulled it out. It doesn’t matter that they took it away from him before they shot him. Everyone, you see, is a terrorist if he disagrees with the Big Buffoon. 

I have no idea if they understand their own hypocrisy. It only matters that the think we will all ignore it. 

Ya see…it’s okay for Kyle Rittenhouse to run around the streets with a huge rifle and shoot all over the place…because he’s a Trumper. It’s okay for protesters to carry guns at the Big Buffoon’s rallies…remember that? It’s okay to ignore law enforcement’s “commands” if you’re there for the Big Buffoon (can you say “January 6?). 

So, are you okay with gun-toting white guys or not?

He was a white guy. A professional white guy who clearly does outdoorsy stuff. Maybe that’s why there’s a crack in the armor. Not much of one, but I’m reminded of the story about the little boy with his finger in the dike. He saw just a trickle, but he knew it meant the dike would fail. He saved the whole town.

Killing the lesbian mom didn’t move anyone. Grabbing a very scared looking five-year-old boy in a bunny hat and wearing a Spiderman backpack didn’t move anyone.

But now there is a crack.

Bovino is gone from Minnesota, but he’ll collect his paycheck. Word is he’s retiring soon. Good bye and good riddance. Another talk show yapper will be on the air soon. 

Is Noem next? A patriot can dream, right?

But, it is only a crack…the slightest little stress fracture you see in the windshield…the boat…pick your familiar territory. 

They all need to go: The Big Buffoon, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem. But the underlying philosophy needs to go with them.

Immigrants are not the enemy. They never were. This has nothing to do with the borders or “illegals.” It has everything to do with control. When the man says “jump” you’d better be quick about it.

But there is that crack. 

So many cult members ask what does protesting do? THIS is what protesting does. It creates a crack.

ICE needs to get off our streets! Defund ICE. Get rid of ‘em. If ever there was a tear-down project, this is it. 

Minnesotans, you have my utmost respect, admiration, and now, gratitude. 

The fascists can NOT win if the people fight them.

God bless America.

There’s lots of fun stuff in here, this week. The Select Board meeting got postponed because of the storm. And I got caught up in all kinds of storm prep and post storm cleanup. But there’s still lots of useful info this week. 

As you page through to find it all, be sure to notice who our advertisers are so you can tell them you saw their ads in the Neighb News.

Until next week, then, see ya,

Glory to Ukraine!
Glory to the Heroes!
