There is no example, nor does either state cite an example in their papers, of a judge prohibiting a federal law enforcement agent from enforcing federal law in a given state. The reaction that we’ve heard from various Minnesota officials, including Attorney General Keith Ellison, when confronted with this lack of precedent and lack of case law, is essentially, “Well, this is really bad, though. Well, this is an invasion.” There is plenty of dramatic language in the complaints, but that doesn’t change the legal calculus. You can’t just take a situation that has no legal precedent and no legal support and say, “Well, yes, but our situation is really, really bad, therefore we get to invent new law.”--Honig

Shocking article on testosterone use in American public life, the military, and public figures. Traces back to the Nazis, Hitler. Raises a lot of questions about public combativeness and policymaking.
What guy in confrontational work doesn't want an edge?

The African nations of Chad, Niger, Burkina Faso, and Mali have all stopped issuing visas for Americans in what they describe as a reciprocal move, given the treatment of their citizens.

Our model of the universe is deeply flawed — unless space is actually a 'sticky fluid,' new research hints. I assume they'll get back to us on this.

Current Thoughts
A terrific football weekend. The college championship may have been the best.
The country should stick with fair competition and leave politics to the sideshow.
***
Trump has been using executive power casually, but has anything he has done approached the enormous power assumed by the Biden Regency during Covid?
***
Greenland is in NATO, right? So why do they need an additional umbrella?

Trump's confrontational style may get results, but it is really obnoxious. On the other hand, it may be a correct assessment of his single term's short influence.
***
Where are the city cops in Minnesota? Is this a special riot?
***
There were several infants treated for tear gas exposure. How could a parent put a child at that risk?
***
Confrontation with armed, harassed men is dangerous. Strangely, violence by the police is what these people hope to provoke.
***
The mayor of Minneapolis looks sincere. He also sounds unhinged. Apparently, these domestic disturbances are an outpouring of 'love.'
***
So, the reason ICE is in Minneapolis is that there are many illegal immigrants there. The reason is that it is a 'sanctuary city,' so the locals will not release the targeted illegals. The reason they are there is that the border was open during the Biden Regency. Is this conflict over the nullification of the federal law? Resistance to immigration law? Resistance--or indifference--to the very notion of borders--and the ability of a state to define itself?

Invading the church was a tactical mistake. Many who don't care about these disturbances care a lot about the integrity of churches.
***
Why are there so many women among these rioters? Is it a 'chicks up front' tactic? Is there some gender selection here?
***
It has been reported that Ms Good's wife was shocked that the ICE had live ammo. Is that true? Does she know what killed the kids at Kent State? Is that 'outdated history'?
***
Is abolishing ICE like defunding the police?
***
Is a sanctuary city incompatible with church sanctuary?
