Top O’ the Briefing
Happy Tuesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (In preparation for a whirlwind book tour, the Sine Qua Non Sequitur is compiling a comprehensive list of foreign translations of “wainscoting.”)
We’ve been hearing it seemingly forever. Donald Trump’s a fascist. Trump’s a dictator. Trump’s targeting those who disagree with him.
If only.
OK, I’m kidding about that. Sort of. My Minneapolis fatigue is making me a bit cranky.
Democrats are having a field day creating an alternative reality that — once again — blames law enforcement for everything. Those paying close attention will remember that we were just discussing this… yesterday. I wrote that the Democrats really got going with their hatred of law enforcement “when Barack Obama was shooting off his mouth about the police during his vapid vanity presidency. ” Many of the ills in this country can be traced back to the Obama years. If they didn’t originate with his presidency, they were greatly exacerbated while he was in office.
At that time, I was unaware that, over the weekend, the Lightbringer had stuck his cop-hating nose into the online conversation about the shooting of Alex Pretti. My good friend Stephen Green took a long look at Obama’s toxic contributions to the Democrats’ hatred of law enforcement.
Always desperate for friends, Trump Derangement Syndrome rent boy Bill Kristol got in on the action, which my Twitchy colleague Brett T. shared in a post:
Too obvious a point even to make, perhaps. But there was no “unrest” in Minneapolis before ICE and CBP showed up. ICE and CBP are the cause of the chaos…and the killings.
Get them out of there.

Really? My aforementioned Minneapolis fatigue began back in the summer of 2020, when Dems decided that tens of thousands of people could have a “mostly peaceful protest” and it wouldn’t be a COVID super spreader event. Just a few months later, those same Dems would be telling us that we shouldn’t gather round a Thanksgiving table lest we all drop dead from the Bat Flu.
Just last August, a gender confused maniac shot up a bunch of Minneapolis Catholic school kids who were attending Mass on the first day of school.
Yeah, I don’t think ICE and the Border Patrol are the problems in Minneapolis. I’m still going with Obama’s mouth.
Things are so out of control in Minneapolis that, if President Trump truly were the fascistic dictator that Democrats repeatedly say he is, there would be so many tanks rolling through there it would look like a snowbound Tiananmen Square. There would be no “ICE Watch” citizen agitator patrols. All would be quiet in the streets of Minneapolis.
We could apply this to all of the unhinged Dem shenanigans going on throughout the land. Fascist Trump would have shut up Jimmy Kimmel a long time ago. Instead, Kimmel gets to go on television every night and call the president a fascist with no worries at all.
Let’s focus on the Minneapolis mess for now, though.
Neither Trump nor any of us who support him is into fascism — that’s actually where the Dems’ heads are at now. They’re projecting again. While every elected Democrat in Minnesota is trying to ratchet up the unrest, President Trump is trying to cool things off. He got the mentally unwell Gov. Tim Walz on the phone for a good conversation. Now he’s sending border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota to help get a grip on things. This is from Catherine:
Trump posted his announcement on Truth Social Monday morning. “I am sending Tom Homan to Minnesota tonight. He has not been involved in that area, but knows and likes many of the people there. Tom is tough but fair, and will report directly to me,” the president wrote briefly.
While the Democrats are doing everything that they can to foment insurrection, President Trump is doing what he does very well — he’s being a leader. Deep down, the Democrats know that, and that will no doubt just trigger them further.
The headline says that Dems are lucky that the president isn’t the guy they say he is. Obviously, we all are.
A few tanks in Minneapolis couldn’t hurt, though.
Again, kidding.
Maybe.
