Heart-wrenching footage from Saturday, January 31, 2026, shows a young girl in a pink butterfly sweater screaming in agony after being struck by chemical irritants during escalating anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis.
The unidentified girl, estimated to be around 7 years old, was seen being treated by street medics who frantically poured water over her eyes while she cried, "It's burning!".
Protesters have dubbed the child the "kid in the pink sweater" as they call for "Justice" against federal enforcement.
Critics on social media are accusing parents of using their children as political props, claiming the footage shows adults "coaching" the 7-year-old on how to engage in high-conflict riots.
The disturbing images have led to a surge of calls for local police or child protective services to investigate parents who bring young children to "volatile crowd situations" where federal agents are deploying crowd control measures.

Wisconsin Dairy Farmer has just received a letter with new regulations that must be followed or farmers can no longer sell their milk
The new requirements are to meet climate net-zero ESG goals
“Letter in the mail from their milk processing plant that states that they are updating their sustainable agriculture policy — and I already got a phone call from the people that are collecting the information that is required for your dairy farm.
It starts out by saying that we understand that this might feel like another requirement, but it's not because it's an industry-led effort to recognize and measure the sustainable practices you're already doing every day. Your participation helps shape the future of dairy farming in ensures your voice is part of the solution.
So I laugh at this because it is voluntary if you want to sell your milk because if you don't participate in this, the milk processing plant will not be able to take your milk because the people that are above them, the actual sellers like Nestle and Danone and all the other big food giants will not allow the milk processing plant, to take your milk.
Now it feels like blackmail, but according to the definition of blackmail, it is not blackmail. But if you don't participate, you can't sell your milk”
“hey need to know herd data, nutrition data, energy data, in terms of total terms of natural gas, total gallons of diesel. Now mind you, this is for a whole year. Total gallons of propane, total gallons of biodiesel, and total kilowatts of electricity for 12 months.
Yep, voluntary, totally….”
The request focuses on annual farm-level data for a full year to calculate metrics like carbon footprint, energy efficiency, and overall sustainability performance. Common categories include:
• Herd data: Herd size, milk production (e.g., total pounds or cwt of milk), number of cows, possibly reproduction or health metrics to estimate feed efficiency and enteric methane.
• Nutrition/feed data: Ration details, feed ingredients, intake amounts—to assess nutrient use efficiency and emissions from feed production/digestion.
• Energy data (as you noted):
• Total natural gas usage (e.g., for heating or drying).
• Total gallons of diesel (e.g., for tractors, equipment).
• Total gallons of propane.
• Total gallons of biodiesel (if used).
• Total kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity for 12 months (e.g., milking, cooling, ventilation, lighting).
These inputs feed into tools that estimate GHG emissions
This is an industry-led effort through programs like the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy’s Net Zero Initiative
This is how they shut down small farmers

We have A LOT of Haitians here in Florida. Let me say this as I have had many interactions with them. They are perhaps the dumbest, most worthless people I have ever dealt with. Almost every time we interact with them they seem to have zero education and cannot do anything for themselves.
When I took an anniversary trip to the Dominican Republic 2 years ago, even the Dominicans were saying how bad Haitians were. They work very hard to keep the Haitians on their side of the island.

Ok so...the "Black National Anthem" will be sung at the upcoming Super Bowl.
Followed by the SPANISH LANGUAGE HALFTIME SHOW.
So I guess my question is: WHAT HAPPENED TO AMERICA?
Why does the NFL bend over backward to celebrate every culture EXCEPT the one that built this nation? Diversity? Representation?
Well how about REPRESENTING the majority of Americans who watch this show?
FACT: at 45%, WHITE viewers have historically been reported as the largest racial group among the audience based on general NFL/Super Bowl viewership data and survey estimates. Followed by 25% Black, 15% Hispanic, 10% Asian, and the rest other or mixed races.
So why perform anthems that divide us by race - when we already have ONE ANTHEM that unites us all?
And why hand the halftime spotlight to a Spanish-speaking transvestite......when English is the language of our founding documents AND THE MONEY WE PAY HIM WITH?
Enough is enough. When PROGRESS = cultural extinction, we've taken it too far.
We're letting "progress" erase our identity one halftime show, one anthem swap at a time. If this is STILL America, why does it feel like we're the guests in our own house?
With a detransitioner winning a 2 million dollar medical malpractice settlement (which should have been 100 times higher), the total collapse of the trans movement is officially upon us. In the next few years, every Frankenstein gender butcher and perverted "medical professional" who profited off of the sexual mutilation of children will be sued into oblivion. The story should end with these mad scientists convicted in a court of law and hanging from the gallows. Instead it will end with them bankrupted and disgraced, which isn't as good but will have to be good enough.
As the years pass, those who supported this madness will quietly retreat and pretend that none of this ever happened, or at least that they had no hand in it. We shouldn't let them. The trans movement will go down as the most deranged form of mass hysteria that human civilization has ever seen. We should make sure that history accurately records who went along with it and who had the courage to stand against it, even when the hysteria was at its peak and there was little to be gained, and much to lose, in doing so.
The people who fell on the wrong side of this issue should never be trusted again. They should be shamed and disgraced and forced to live with the humiliation for the rest of their days. We cannot stop the rats from fleeing the ship. But we can remember their names .
You stand there in Minneapolis, voice cracking like a bad actor, weaponizing dead Americans and a detained foreign child to cosplay as the moral conscience of a nation you clearly despise.
Renee Good and Alex Pretti...American citizens...dead because they inserted themselves into violent confrontations with law enforcement doing their fucking jobs.
You call them martyrs. I call it consequences.
You don’t mourn them, James, you exploit them. That’s not grief...that’s narcissistic supply.
And little Liam Ramos? A five-year-old whose parents dragged him across a border illegally, then cried victim when the law finally caught up. You parade his photo like a prop in your open-borders passion play, never once acknowledging the millions of American kids whose schools are overcrowded, whose hospitals are strained, whose neighborhoods are less safe because of the policies you fellate on stage.
Your Emma Lazarus recitation isn’t poetry...it’s psychological projection at its most grotesque.
You hate this country’s strength, its sovereignty, its right to say “no,” so you romanticize the invaders and demonize the enforcers.
That’s not compassion. That’s a deep, seething contempt for the very people who pay your salary and tolerate your grandstanding.
You’re not brave. You’re not profound. You’re a mid-tier politician with a messiah complex, desperately clinging to relevance by licking the boots of people who will never vote for you while spitting in the faces of those who do.
So do us all a favor: shut your self-righteous mouth, and sit the fuck down. America doesn’t need your fucking theater. It needs its laws enforced.
They fucking did.
And now these smug, sanctimonious pieces of shit are about to learn...in the most savage, soul-crushing way possible...that the chaos they begged for, the fire they thought they could dance around, isn’t the controlled burn they fantasized about.
No. It’s a goddamn inferno that’s coming straight for their jugulars.
What they wanted was a cute little moral victory. What they’re getting is annihilation. Total. Unapologetic. Surgical.
Karma isn’t just a bitch. She’s a cold-blooded, razor-clawed predator that waits, watches, and then tears you apart with perfect, merciless precision. And she’s already locked on.
Enjoy the show, motherfuckers. You earned every second of it. Tick-tock, indeed, bitches.
If Alberta ever announced a deal with the U.S., here’s what happens next
2/ Markets react before politicians do Capital moves first. Alberta assets rise. Canadian risk premium increases. The dollar wobbles.
3/ Investment flows Energy, manufacturing, and resource capital starts flowing toward Alberta tied to U.S. demand. Not overnight chaos. Quiet repositioning.
4/ Talent follows capital Head offices, skilled workers, and entrepreneurs begin shifting toward where growth and wages are higher.
5/ Ottawa tries to block it Legal threats. Funding pressure. Regulatory pushback. This looks like Ottawa choosing control over jobs.
6/ Political legitimacy cracks Polls shift. Not because everyone wants to leave Canada but because people want results and leverage.
7/ The domino problem Other provinces ask why Alberta gets access they don’t. Saskatchewan aligns. Business groups in Ontario and B.C. revolt internally.
8/ Canada’s economic model breaks Canada relies on regulation, transfers, housing, and population growth. Alberta thriving outside that system exposes the weakness.
9/ The comparison effect Canadians watch a nearby jurisdiction get richer faster. That comparison is politically lethal.
10/ The real endgame The threat isn’t Alberta leaving.
The threat is Alberta proving a different model works.

Secretary-General Guterres now warns the UN could run out of money by July, blaming unpaid dues. That’s only half true.
The real problem for UN: U.S. voluntary funding has collapsed.
Yes, the U.S. and China both owe mandatory dues. But here’s the key difference:
The U.S. used to give ~$10B a year voluntarily
Japan gives ~$3B
China gives only ~$600M, often late—and mostly just mandatory fees
Without U.S. voluntary cash, the UN simply doesn’t function.
So why doesn’t Beijing step in and “save” the UN?
Simple: voluntary donations buy zero control. The UN ignored Washington even when America paid the bills. Beijing knows paying more won’t change that.
The irony? The UN still matters to China—Taiwan, influence, legitimacy—but Beijing won’t foot the bill.
Result: no U.S. money, no Chinese rescue, no safety net. The UN may literally shut down this summer.
Sounds like War
