DON SURBER: Beat the Press: In this administration, everyone pushes back against reporters.

#JOURNALISM: “I like the NYT’s correction at the bottom: ‘An earlier version of this article misstated how much consumers spent on beef tallow in 2025. It was $9.9 million, not $900 million.’ That’s kind of a never mind correction. They wrote this whole article about the hot new business that is beef tallow and then it turned out to be on 1.1% of what they thought it was!”

MARK PULLIAM: Anatomy of an Insurrection: The recent (and ongoing) events in Minneapolis invoke historical parallels that are both instructive and alarming.

The recent events in Minneapolis are remarkable. Last week, an ICE officer named Jonathan Ross shot and killed a deranged 37-year-old anti-ICE activist, Renee Nicole Good, who was interfering in ICE operations as part of a coordinated campaign of obstruction by Fifth Column provocateurs. The unfolding drama is more than a self-defense shooting by an ICE officer who was targeted by a speeding SUV; it is nothing less than an orchestrated insurrection—a rebellion—attempting to nullify the results of the 2024 election and to derail the enforcement of federal immigration laws.

The events were not spontaneous. They were planned, organized, and calculated to produce a violent incident (call it a “George Floyd moment”) that could be exploited by the propaganda press to turn public opinion against President Trump and his commitment to deport the millions of illegal aliens whom Joe Biden allowed to invade the country. Democrats are trying to incite a repeat of the “Summer of Love” in 2020–riots that burned down large portions of Minneapolis and other cities. What is going on in Minneapolis is an attempt to provoke Summer of Love 2.0.

Why do I call what is going in in Minneapolis an “insurrection”? Because that is what it is. . . . Illegal aliens are subject to deportation, period. Obstructing thisis rebellion against federal law and the will of the voters. Insurrection, for short.

Indeed.

SYSTEMS SHOULD BE HARDENED, NOT SOFTENED: A Fundamental Lesson from the Terrorist Attack on Berlin’s Power Grid. “We are learning that when the power fails, the heat supply also fails—at least when it is supposed to be generated by heat pumps. And to make matters worse, we are learning that in freezing temperatures, heat pumps face total loss due to bursting pipes. . . . We are also learning that during a large-scale power outage, electric vehicles can only help if they happened to be charged before the “bang.” Otherwise, this utility also fails. Until now, there was great resilience associated with being able to rely on two storable systems for 75% of the energy supply: namely, gas for heating and liquid fuel for mobility.”

WHITE LIVES MATTER: “It occurred to me yesterday that what we’re seeing online and in the streets in reaction to the shooting of Renee Good is very familiar. And then it occurred to me why. What we’re seeing is the Black Lives Matter playbook.”
