Insurgency – An active revolt or uprising.

Insurrection – A violent uprising against an authority or government.

When analyzing the events happening in Minneapolis, the aforementioned definitions are certainly applicable. The Marxist left had no issue with referring to the events of January 6, 2021, as an insurrection, although no one had any weapons. It was certainly not a prudent action, but it was not planned, deliberate, or intentional. Matter of fact, I find it interesting the reaction of the left to the shooting death of Ashli Babbitt, as opposed to the same with Renee Good and Alex Pretti. We have confirmed knowledge that Good and Pretti were part of a Signal anti-ICE group whose purpose is to obstruct, impede, and interfere with lawful law enforcement operations. I am a firm believer in the Second Amendment, but when Alex Pretti, who does have a constitutional right to carry a firearm, unlawfully seeks to impede a federal law enforcement operation to detain a criminal illegal immigrant, he broke the law. And, was armed in breaking the law, not carrying, but in obstructing federal officers carrying out their constitutional duty.

I do find it hypocritical and laughable that leftists are all of a sudden advocates for the Second Amendment. Of course, this is all about their absurd situational ethics. The Second Amendment is OK when they can leverage it, but bad otherwise.

What is happening in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is a challenge to our Constitutional Republic and the will to adhere to the rule of law. We are watching a very well-organized and funded insurgency that is based upon operational zones and has a dedicated command and control system utilizing encrypted communications on Signal. When I saw that they are even using a military reporting system, SALUTE (Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, Equipment), to track and report ICE operations and movements, I realized, yes, this is a classic insurgency operation. This is no different from what I encountered in Iraq and Afghanistan, where we would see insurgents at our front gate who would immediately use their cell phones as our convoys would depart.

And we need to recognize that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s threat to use the State National Guard would assuredly be viewed as an insurrection. Walz would be calling up uniformed forces to stand against the constitutional authority of the federal government, along with Title 18 US Code 1325. I was truly appalled to see a report, including video, of Minnesota National Guard troops feeding anti-ICE insurgents. That is aiding and abetting, providing material support and comfort to domestic terrorists. That is what they are. Hmm, has anyone seen the Seditious Six ranting about following that illegal order? Senator Mark Kelly?

What is disconcerting about this is that during the Biden administration, they sought to sue, block, and threaten States that would utilize their National Guard for border security enforcement. Texas was one of the most targeted. Constitutionally, Texas had every right to do so under Article I, Section 10, Clause 3. However, calling up the National Guard to feed domestic terrorists who are obstructing the enforcement of federal law, threatening and attacking them, well, that is just fine.

And this deceitful lie about law enforcement cooperating with ICE is insidious. Here are not one, but twoletters from the Minnesota Attorney General, Keith Ellison, directly threatening duly elected constitutional Sheriffs, law enforcement officers, and their County Attorneys for working with ICE. The letter clearly states that it is against Minnesota law to cooperate, coordinate, or work with ICE, especially under the 287(g) program.

The ACRU Defender’s Initiative was formed to support, encourage, and highlight law enforcement agencies that are unconstitutionally being assailed by leftist AGs and the ACLU over enforcing the law.

And now we have the Marxists on Capitol Hill announcing that they will enact a government shutdown in order to defund ICE. Many of them say that ICE does not have a mission. Of course, they do, but it is a mission that does not align with the ideological agenda of the Marxist left in America. And I shall reiterate, ICE would not be in neighborhoods and communities if leftists would disavow their unconstitutional and unlawful claims of being sanctuaries for criminal illegal immigrants. Just follow the law.

The Trump administration cannot withdraw from Minneapolis, as some people seem to want. If they do so, the message they send to the Marxist insurgency is that their will is stronger than ours to support and defend our Constitution and the authority of the rule of law. We would then be inviting lawlessness all across our Republic, in essence, bringing about the collapse of our Constitutional Republic. That is the goal of the Marxist leftists. After all, it was Barack Hussein Obama who said that we were “five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America” back in 2007. Marxists can only achieve this end by the means of domestic violence, their playbook, and their belief that the ends justify their means.

Military strategist Carl von Clausewitz stated, “War, therefore, is an act of violence to compel our enemy to do our will.” We have witnessed an increase of some 8,000% of violence against ICE federal law enforcement officers. What we are experiencing in Minneapolis is a reminder to us of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. Vladimir Lenin, one of its leaders, once quipped about those “useful idiots” who would enable the spread of Marxism and communism into the West. This is not some spontaneous “astroturf” movement; it is a dedicated insurgency with the goal of undermining the authority of our Constitution and eroding the foundation of our Nation. It is a challenge to our Constitutional will. And in this battle, failure is not an option.

Steadfast and Loyal.
