Tim Walz Activates Emergency Operations Center, Alerts National Guard After ICE-Involved Shooting Sparks Protest Threat
Update (1640ET):
Gov. Tim Walz activated Minnesota's Emergency Operations Center within hours of an ICE-involved shooting in south Minneapolis, as concerns grow that a coalition of left-wing activist groups could mobilize in the streets, evoking familiar and uneasy parallels to the unrest that followed the death of George Floyd.
"To Minnesotans, know that our administration is going to stop at nothing to seek accountability and justice," Walz told reporters at a press conference in the late afternoon hours.
He added, "We have soldiers in training and prepared to be deployed if necessary."
Walz's meeting with public safety officials and his comments to the press come shortly after citizen journalist Andy Ngo warned that far-left extremists could soon begin mobilizing.
"Far-left extremists in Minnesota have announced a vigil for their comrade who was shot dead after accelerating an SUV toward an ICE agent in Minneapolis. They're claiming the woman was a peaceful "legal observer." Video showed the car block DHS agents on the road before the driver accelerated at an agent," Ngo wrote on X.

Trump Warns NATO: Without America There Is No Alliance
President Trump says that Russia and China "have zero fear of NATO" without the US being in the alliance, in a Wednesday Truth Social post, which comes not only as the White House says it intends to acquire Greenland - which has set up a diplomatic fight with European NATO allies - but also soon on the heels of the ultra controversial US military ouster of Venezuela's Maduro.
Trump in the post expressed doubt that "NATO would be there for us if we really needed them" and simultaneously touted that "We will always be there for NATO, even if they won’t be there for us."
He focused his explanation on Ukraine, saying that "Without my involvement, Russia would have ALL OF UKRAINE right now" - in reference to the nearly four year long Russian-Ukraine war, which has a definite and deep NATO vs. Moscow proxy war element to it.
He continued: "Everyone is lucky that I rebuilt our military in my first term, and continue to do so."

Trump signs order withdrawing US from 66 global bodies, including 31 UN organizations
WITHDRAWING FROM INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum directing the withdrawal of the United States from 66 international organizations that no longer serve American interests.
The Memorandum orders all Executive Departments and Agencies to cease participating in and funding 35 non-United Nations (UN) organizations and 31 UN entities that operate contrary to U.S. national interests, security, economic prosperity, or sovereignty.
This follows a review ordered earlier this year of all international intergovernmental organizations, conventions, and treaties that the United States is a member of or party to, or that the United States funds or supports.
These withdrawals will end American taxpayer funding and involvement in entities that advance globalist agendas over U.S. priorities, or that address important issues inefficiently or ineffectively such that U.S. taxpayer dollars are best allocated in other ways to support the relevant missions.
RESTORING AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY: President Trump is ending U.S. participation in international organizations that undermine America’s independence and waste taxpayer dollars on ineffective or hostile agendas.
Many of these bodies promote radical climate policies, global governance, and ideological programs that conflict with U.S. sovereignty and economic strength.
American taxpayers have spent billions on these organizations with little return, while they often criticize U.S. policies, advance agendas contrary to our values, or waste taxpayer dollars by purporting to address important issues but not achieving any real results.
By exiting these entities, President Trump is saving taxpayer money and refocusing resources on America First priorities.
PUTTING AMERICA FIRST ON THE GLOBAL STAGE: President Trump has consistently fought to protect U.S. sovereignty and ensure international engagements serve American interests.
Immediately upon returning to office, President Trump initiated the withdrawal of the United States from the World Health Organization and the Paris Climate Agreement.
On Day One of his Administration, President Trump also signed a Presidential Memorandum to notify the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development that its Global Tax Deal has no force or effect in the United States, and direct an investigation into whether foreign countries have tax rules in place that are extraterritorial or disproportionately affect American companies.
Just weeks later, President Trump signed an Executive Order withdrawing the United States from the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) and prohibiting any future funding for the UN Relief and Works Agency for the Near East (UNRWA).
He has prioritized American interests by redirecting focus and resources toward domestic priorities such as infrastructure, military readiness, and border security, and acting swiftly to protect American companies from foreign interference.

Iran Signals 'Pre-Emptive' Action After Sen. Graham & Israel Threaten Khamenei's Life
The Iranian military warned on 7 Wednesday that Tehran could potentially launch a pre-emptive attack on Israel in response to the escalatory rhetoric recently from both Tel Aviv and Washington. "Iran views the escalation of hostile rhetoric against the Iranian nation as a threat and will not leave its continuation unanswered," said the Iranian army’s Commander in Chief Amir Hatami.
"Any act of aggression against Iran will have far-reaching consequences … Iran will act with full force to defend the its independence, territorial integrity, and political system," he added. "The readiness of Iran’s armed forces today is far higher than before the [12-day] war. Any enemy miscalculation would be met with a more decisive response," he went on to say, warning that “the hands of any aggressor would be cut off." The military chief’s statement followed violent and escalatory rhetoric from US Senator Lindsey Graham on Tuesday.
Graham told Fox News that US President Donald Trump will assassinate Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei if Iranian authorities continue 'suppressing protests.'
"Donald Trump is not Barack Obama; he is not turning his back on the people of Iran … To the Ayatollah and his thugs, if you keep killing your people in defiance of President Trump, you’re gonna wake up dead … Iran is on the verge of falling," Graham said. "Help is on the way," he added.
The interview came hours after Iran’s Supreme National Defense Council issued a warning also signaling potential pre-emptive action in response to growing threats.
"Within the framework of legitimate self-defense, the Islamic Republic of Iran does not confine its response merely to reactive measures, and considers clear indications of threat to be part of the broader security equation," the council said.
"The intensification of threatening rhetoric and intervention – going beyond verbal positioning – can be understood as hostile conduct. Any path that continues in this direction will be met with an appropriate, firm, and decisive response, and full responsibility for the consequences will lie with the architects of this course," it added.
The new threat coincides with protests that erupted across several cities and provinces in Iran nearly two weeks ago due to a collapse in currency and difficult living conditions resulting from years of harsh US sanctions. Many of the protests have turned violent, with armed rioters attacking security forces repeatedly in recent days.
Over a dozen people have been killed, including police and security members. Counterprotests are also taking place, and thousands of Iranians have taken to the streets to reject violence against security forces and call for peaceful expression.
Since the protests began, Trump has repeatedly threatened to attack the Islamic Republic. "We’re watching it very closely. If they start killing people like they have in the past, I think they’re going to get hit very hard by the US," Trump said recently, after vowing days earlier that Washington will "rescue" Iranian protesters.
The Mossad also publicly urged Iranians to go out in the streets, saying, "we are with you." According to a report by Israel’s Channel 12, Tel Aviv is preparing for the possibility of a "sudden" conflict with Iran.

Death Toll Rises As Fighting Expands Between Syrian Army & Kurds In Aleppo
Fighting erupted between the Kurdish SDF and the Syrian Army today in the Aleppo Governorate, with the battle centering around a checkpoint in the town of Deir Hafer. At least seven people were killed in the course of the fighting, six of them civilians. A number of civilians were also reported wounded, though the number varies with conflicting reports right now.
One Syrian soldier was reported killed and another three wounded. As is so often the case with conflicts between these two factions, both sides are trading blame over who started the fight, as well as who caused the civilian casualties.
The Army’s narrative is that the Kurds attacked the military checkpoint with drones, then the Kurds also indiscriminately attacked a Kurdish-majority area within Deir Hafer for some unclear reason with artillery and sniper fire.
The SDF, however, maintains that the Army attacked them first, in the Kurdish-majority neighborhood, and shelled the residential neighborhood in the course of the fighting. They maintained that the Kurdish attacks on the checkpoint were "legitimate defense of civilian lives."
The SDF has a tentative agreement to integrate into the military, but the negotiations keep hitting impasses, and the fact that the two sides keep getting into open conflict suggests that an actual final deal is likely still a long way off.
The autonomous Kurdish government within the northeast issued a statement condemning the attacks on the Kurdish neighborhoods in Deir Hafer, accusing military-aligned forces of "a blatant violation of all humanitarian laws and norms." They added that the incident shows a “lack of seriousness” about the central government’s promises of unity.
Turkey, which is allied with the central government and loudly opposed to the idea of Kurdish autonomy anywhere within the region, was quick to issue a statement accusing the SDF of "terrorism" and demanding that they unconditionally surrender all their weapons to the central government.

US Expands List Of Countries Subject To Visa Bonds Of Up To $15,000
The U.S. State Department has expanded its list of nations whose citizens will be subject to visa bonds of up to $15,000 to enter the United States, adding 25 more nations, according to its website.
The latest additions will bring the total number of nations to 38, according to the department’s website, with visa bonds for the newly listed countries set to take effect on Jan. 21.
The newly added countries include Algeria, Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Bangladesh, Benin, Burundi, Cabo Verde, Côte D’Ivorie, Cuba, Djibouti, Dominica, Fiji, Gabon, Kyrgyzstan, Nepal, Nigeria, Senegal, Tajikistan, Togo, Tonga, Tuvalu, Uganda, Vanuatu, Venezuela, and Zimbabwe.
The expansion came just a week after the department added Bhutan, Botswana, the Central African Republic, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Namibia, and Turkmenistan to the list, with visa bonds going into effect on Jan. 1.
Mauritania, Sao Tome and Principe, Tanzania, Gambia, Malawi, and Zambia were placed on the list in August and October of last year.
Citizens of those nations who are deemed eligible for B1/B2 visas, which are used for short-term tourism and business travel, are required to post a bond ranging from $5,000 to $15,000, with the amount being determined during the visa interview.
The department said that the visa bond policy is intended to deter visa overstays by citizens of the listed nations.

Holy crap moment in Boston, feds bust $7 million SNAP fraud, ghost stores with empty shelves pulled $540,000 a month in EBT cash
How do fake stores pull six times the SNAP volume of a real supermarket without alarms?
HOLY CRAP. Federal prosecutors just blew the lid off a $7 MILLION SNAP fraud scheme in Boston.
Two Haitian nationals have been charged for running so-called “ghost stores” — tiny shops with barely any inventory that were somehow cashing $540,000 a MONTH in EBT.
Let that sink in.
That’s SIX TIMES the SNAP volume of a real, fully stocked supermarket.
The stores were allegedly used to trade EBT for cash and illegal items, draining taxpayer funds at an insane scale.
This wasn’t a corner store hustle.
This was industrial-level fraud.
And people still wonder where the money goes. 👀🔥
