How's it going America,

 

Today, a brand new episode of The Pod Millennial drops in which I talk to Jack Posobiec about all things Super Bowl Half Time Show. You won't want to miss it! Subscribe, rate (5 stars, of course), and listen.

 

Let's get into it:

 

Minneapolis activists have instituted checkpoints. Not content to just allow people to move freely about the city of Minneapolis, now the leftist gangs organizing themselves on Signal chats are organizing roadblocks where they are checking license plates to make sure that the cars aren't on their ICE Watch databases.

Journalist Jorge Ventura was even attacked at an ICE Watch checkpoint when trying to film what those ICE Watch vigilantes were up to. Ventura posted about the encounter to X, saying that he was just trying to report on what they were doing. As he was doing so, the agitators who literally set up a checkpoint on a residential street with the intention of obstructing federal law enforcement confronted him.

 

"You gotta get out of here," one of them yelled to him, telling him to "go away." Others began to push him, with one shoving him into his car and yelling, "get in the f*cking car." Photojournalist Erik Herrera was with Ventura and was also attacked. The agitators were all masked, eyes covered with sunglasses, faces covered with scarves. "Y'all need to get out of here," they told the reporters.



 


Videos showing this kind of altercation have been emerging on social media. One group of reporters was followed by ICE Watch, which claimed that they were ICE due to their license plate. Agitators have been collecting license plate numbers and making lists of cars they believe are associated with ICE. As they are not trained law enforcement but leftist vigilantes, they often get these things wrong.

 

Ventura tried to speak to the agitators about their blockade, but none of them were forthcoming. Instead, they took to assaulting Ventura and trying to steal his phone and equipment. Activists have even been demanding identification from reporters or people in cars that are supposedly in the ICE license plate database.

 

Police later put a stop to their checkpoint and dismantled their roadblock, all while agitators yelled at them. You can't just get together with your cronies and shut down entire blocks of cities in the middle of America's major metropolitan areas. The City of Seattle is now forced to pay out $30 million to the family of a slain, black teen for having allowed exactly that to happen.

 

But in Minneapolis, much of this behavior has been not only tolerated but encouraged by local elected leaders who are likely grateful to have a news story take over the airwaves and distract from their massive Somali fraud scandal.

The Trump Kennedy Center could have been the center of non-woke art in America and instead it will be just another set of institutional doors closed to conservative artists.
