Things Go Off the Rails in NYC As Chaotic Anti-ICE Crew Blocks Agents From Exiting Garage

RedState 

The left has gone way off the rails with their anti-ICE actions. 

Even after attacks on ICE facilities that have left people dead, you still have radical anti-ICE crews wreaking havoc in places like New York City, trying to stop ICE from carrying out its mission. 

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has made it clear: the radicals aren't going to stop them. 

Apparently, the radicals heard that the federal agents might be conducting another operation on Canal Street, an area ICE has hit in the past. So about 150 people tried to block agents from getting out of a garage of a federal building, and the agents had to call 911 to have the NYPD help them get out. 

In the following video, you can watch about 10 minutes of the radical leftists chasing down government vans, standing in front of them, pulling all kinds of things into the street to block the vans, from heavy planters to metal garbage cans. Police had to keep shoving them out of the way. Then, at about 10 minutes in, you can see them blocking the garage and not letting the federal agents out. They chanted, "ICE out of NY!" and "NYPD, KKK!" 

Warning for graphic language: 

Some were spotted trying to climb the garage’s grated windows – only to be dragged off by cops – while others chanted “ICE out of New York! ICE out now!”

“There were people climbing up trying to see who ICE had inside,” recalled one protestor. “They were arresting people for no reason.”

Some overly agitated protestors lifted and threw planters and police barricades toward police, sources said.

Yeah, I'm thinking that if you were climbing up the walls, shoving a police officer, or throwing things at them, that just might constitute a "reason." Incredible that they think they're justified in doing anything they like. They had garbage all over the street, which they pulled from both a dumpster and the sidewalks, and weren't just blocking the police and ICE, but also other people as well. You can check out this link on X, where you can see the big trash blockade they erected in the middle of the street. 

But ultimately despite their efforts they failed, and the vans got through despite their efforts. 

Then, too, some of them found out that actions have consequences when they got pepper-sprayed. Cops also nailed at least 18 of them. They were arrested for obstructing government administration and disorderly conduct after allegedly ignoring multiple warnings to clear the area. 

What needs to happen is holding these people accountable with some real punishment if they were obstructing. 

But how messed up is New York City now? The NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch reportedly yelled at DHS officials and blamed them for the chaos. She supposedly told their officials that this is "unacceptable."

Yes, it is unacceptable. But it's the radicals' actions that are unacceptable, not the actions of DHS. Where is the action by New York City to deal with the activists? If this is going to be the attitude going forward for New York, they will have far more problems than they do now

Liberal Media Host Defends Trump Over 'Fatigue' Story, Reveals Bad Biden Moment

RedState 

As we reported, The New York Times put out a story that claimed President Donald Trump was showing signs of "fatigue," claiming there was a change in the number of events that he was holding/attending compared to the first year of his first term, and Americans were seeing him "less than they used to." 

This is utter bunk, as he seems to have been continuously working since he hit the ground in his second term, and is constantly available and responding to the press. If anything, he's too available, because he wants to get his points out to the American people; he should delegate more to his very competent media team. 

This "fatigue" narrative about Trump is rich, given that Democrats and the media didn't want to look under the hood of what was going on with Joe Biden, where there were real issues of concern. 

However, what was surprising was that even MS NOW host Katy Tur pushed back against that report, while on "The Daily Beast Podcast" with host Joanna Coles.

"I think, not to get on the bandwagon and to push back a little bit, he is doing much more than, certainly Joe Biden did," Tur said, in a clip flagged by Mediaite.

"He is out there in a way that past presidents haven’t even been out there. He does give access. He’s constantly on television," Tur added. "He might be slowing down for him and slowing down because he’s getting up there in age, but he is still very much mobile. I mean, he’s doing overseas travel. He’s coming back, he’s handing out Halloween candy. Sometimes these trips are one day. I mean, he is very much still engaged."

That's a great observation about how much he's often doing in a day, too. He did deals in Asia to help bring investment in the U.S. to translate into jobs for Americans, and then flew back on the same day to do the traditional duty of handing out Halloween candy. 

Meanwhile, Biden was doing nothing, with frequently one event or nothing on his schedule, and more importantly, not delivering things that were beneficial to the country, as Trump is doing. Instead, Biden's staff had him avoiding the press or giving very minimal contact. His staff was constantly calling early lids.

While Trump is receiving awards and being nominated for Nobel prizes by foreign governments, with Biden, we got reports of how he was "losing focus" at meetings with world leaders and ducking out on dinners. 

Not only did Tur offer up a defense of Trump, but she also revealed a bad moment she observed with Biden. 

"I went to the Christmas party, during the Biden years, and he came out at like eight o'clock, and he gave a speech to the assembled room of journalists, and you could not understand a word he was saying, right," Tur said. "It's different."

You're darn right it's different. Competence versus incompetence. Involvement versus cognitive decline. 

Did she reveal this Biden story before? When was this? They feel they can talk about it now, when it doesn't matter, but that's a pretty big thing if you can't even understand what he's saying. 

That's the whole problem with this "fatigue" narrative from the Democrats and media. We can see Trump all the time, so we know he doesn't have Biden's issues. 

But where was the whole breakdown of Biden's activities when he was in office? Instead, all the clips of Biden's issues were just largely dismissed. 

Interesting Development – Mark Carney Announces New Limits on Foreign Steel and Aluminum, With New 25% Tariff on Steel Derivative Components

Conservative  Treehouse 

This is a rather remarkable development that requires an understanding of what is true and accurate, versus what is stated as the justification.

In short, Prime Minister Mark Carney is conceding defeat to President Trump and positioning the Canadian economy to be compliant with U.S-Mexico trade regulations.

However, Carney is not saying that, indeed he cannot; he’s spent over a year telling Canadians that President Trump’s trade and economic demands are not going to be accepted by Canada.  However, what he is factually doing is exactly what President Trump has demanded.

Prime Minister Carney is saying he is restricting Steel and Aluminum imports from non-free trade agreement countries, and he is lowering the tonnage of Steel and Aluminum that will be permitted for import.  His claim is that this approach will help drive up “domestic demand” for Canadian Steel and Aluminum, but that’s ancillary to the real objective.

President Trump has demanded Canada stop importing cheap steel and aluminum mostly from China; including manufactured component goods that are made with steel and aluminum (think autos).  Canada would not stop, because they could not stop.  Their manufacturing base, green energy and climate change economy, is more of a component assembly system now.

So, President Trump hit Canada with a 35% tariff, and things got ugly.  In June Trump raised the tariff to 50%. The back and forth has gone on all year.

Carney now announces restrictions on imported steel and aluminum, as well as restrictions on imported derivative goods that come from steel and aluminum, in combination with a spending plan to bolster the Canadian steel and aluminum manufacturing base.  This ends up shifting the Canadian industrial sector to making steel and aluminum products without Chinese import dependency.

THIS IS EXACTLY what President Trump told both Justin Trudeau and Mark Carney they needed to do in order to get their manufacturing base into alignment with the U.S. plan for industrial manufacturing.  But Carney cannot tell the Canadians that part; instead, he tells them this policy shift will drive up domestic demand. True, but that’s not the underlying motive.

President Trump is going to exit the USMCA (CUSMA to Canadians) trade agreement.  It looks like Carney now realizes that is going to happen, and when that happens his only hope for a bilateral trade agreement will be if Canada makes goods again, rather than assembles the component products from imports.

“We know that this decades-long process of our ever-closer economic relationship between Canada and the United States has ended, and as a consequence of that, many of our strengths have become our vulnerabilities, particularly in those industries that are most tightly integrated with the United States,” Carney said during his announcement.

CANADA – […] Among the new measures is further limiting foreign steel imports from countries without a free trade agreement with Canada — from 50 to 20 per cent of 2024 levels — a measure largely aimed at reducing Chinese steel imports.

The government will also reduce quotas for countries with which Canada has a free trade agreement – excluding the U.S. and Mexico – going from 100 per cent to 75 per cent of 2024 levels, and impose a global 25 per cent tariff on targeted imported products made from steel.

Carney made the announcement in Ottawa on Wednesday, as trade talks with the U.S. remain stalled after the fallout over Ontario’s anti-tariff ad last month. (more)

Carney cannot say, ‘trade with the USA is different now.  As a consequence, if we want to be compliant with Trump’s demands, we have to limit imported steel from China. We cannot survive without the USA so we are limiting our steel imports from China, and instead of importing the component goods, we are going to train and retool our own manufacturing to be Trump-compliant.’  Yet, that is exactly what Carney is doing.

The net/net if Canada keeps following this path, is they will come into compliance with a reestablished manufacturing system that will align with the USA for a bilateral free trade agreement.  This is exactly what Mexico has been doing all year, instead of fighting with Donald Trump.

The ‘elbow’s up’ is an illusion.

Carney is politically gaslighting the Canadian electorate because he cannot admit to them that Trump has crushed him.

It was always, a.l.w.a.y.s going to end up like this.  There was no other way it could end.  The narrative engineering is now completely about face-saving in front of the Canadian people.

The Investigation Into Joe Biden’s Handlers Using the Autopen

Yesterday, President Trump announced his intention to nullify any Joe Biden document signed by autopen, that did not carry cognitive understanding of Biden. [SEE HERE]

The House investigation into the White House handlers of Joe Biden, now takes focus.

“As part of the Oversight Committee’s investigation into The Biden Autopen Presidency, Chairman James Comer and Committee staff conducted transcribed interviews with several of Joe Biden’s former senior aides and advisors. […] Their testimony revealed that President Biden’s cognitive deterioration was real, visible, and widely discussed inside the West Wing.

Witnesses further confirmed that critical executive actions and even presidential pardons were executed without Biden’s direct authorization, signed instead by an autopen. Several aides confessed they did not know who was approving or controlling its use.” WATCH:
