Thanks, but this is not helpful. This is a bunch of people sitting in their Ivory Towers saying "let them eat cake" and compromise over tea. How do you de-escalate when an invading force occupies your city? Never shopping at Target. apnews.com/article/busi...

Proof that you have never been to a protest in your life. Did you rent a billboard on the side of the road and considered it a protest like in the movie 3 Billboards? I need to see a picture of the current whitest man in America at a protest. Challenge him, Mr. Karl, make him show you a picture.

Nope. Trust me from a guy who quit his social justice job on November 10, 2016. You will not get over your fellow countrymen turning against you and giving over to a tyrant intent on wrecking the country.

Was the Governor of Idaho not available? Who the hell cares about what anyone from Oklahoma has to say?

Hilarious after 1.5 million people just lost healthcare in the United States in January 2026. There are now rural parts of America including in Florida where receiving a cancer diagnosis is "darn near a death sentence." FYI: Denmark provides universal, tax-funded healthcare to all residents.

Maybe we could get the "Board of Peace" to go to Minneapolis to calm things down? Road trip? Or better, every member of Congress should go to see what exactly is going on where Minnesota-nice people are being gunned down in the street.

Stuck inside today because of the snow. I am only listening to Canadian musicians the whole day to protest the stripping of Bill of Rights in the US. My cats don't care either way. #BarenakedLadies #NeilYoung #TheBand

This would really be a good time for the "Congressional Freedom Caucus" to speak up. Pick a freedom and it is currently under attack. Or maybe change your name to the "House Freedom to Hate Caucus" to be more accurate.

If you don't have a sports section and a comprehensive foreign desk then you are no longer a national paper. Sports are the opioid of the masses. It is the religion of our times and a foreign desk is what separates a paper from a magazine. Good luck with trying to re-create "George" online.

European countries should think long and hard about sending their teams to play in the World Cup in the US. I would tell FIFA, "We will play in Canada or Mexico, but we will withdraw if you make us play in a war torn country that has no civil rights."

I say again that each Democratic Congressperson needs to be assigned an agency, Secretary, or senior official to build a case against as soon as the regime falls. They should have a binder full of evidence and then how to fix all the items they broke. The 1/6 team should be re-assigned to Trump.

I have organized around 60 protests over the last 30 years and I have never seen anything like the lawlessness of current federal officials. Previously, they had strict rules of engagement that deferred to the local law enforcement. These untrained ICE terrorists could do anything at anytime.

Remember and take comfort that there is no statute of limitations on murder. I know that justice delayed is justice denied, but Justice at this moment will result in imposition of the Insurrection Act. It will only get worse for the near future because we elected a tyrant.

If you can't control a disease that was eliminated decades ago, then you don't deserve to be a state anymore. South Carolina should be forced to merge with the smarter North Carolina because obviously the So. Carolina educational system has failed their constituents.

In thinking about the ICE reign of fear over the US, I think about the movie V for Vendetta a great deal. Dominic: What do you think will happen? Finch: What usually happens when people without guns stand up to people *with* guns. & You wear a mask for so long, you forget who you were beneath it.

Are there more bankruptcies or business closings over the last eight months in the US or is it that they are just reporting more of them because they have nothing better to do? Most of the media doesn't want to piss off the Godfather Crime Boss so they have to choose their news carefully.

I do not understand how we are having a road salt shortage in Northeast Ohio with a huge Cargill Salt Mine under Lake Erie downtown? It is open and producing salt so why the shortage? It seems like a short drive to get some salt? www.cleveland.com/akron/2026/0...

This is the kind of stuff that makes me believe that there are very few Congresspeople who should be re-elected. There are like 6 good Senators of the 100 and maybe 26 US Reps. Most of them need to go and pursue their true gift--panhandling rich people for their salary (fundraising/development).

Does our "Department of War" Secretary get to attend the Board of Peace meetings? I see a new version of the song "Ironic" coming soon. Get to work Ms. Morissette, please.

Solution: Mandatory voting for every adult or you pay a dunce tax on your state and federal taxes the following year. Money raised will go to improve civics education in the schools.

Or he is on to Iceland like he said in his speech and Greenland is off the table until the movie (Greenland 2) hits the streaming services and he may want both. We live in a crazy time.

Shouldn't he have started this sentence with, "As Mussolini and Emperor Hirohito used to say..." Isn't the rule at Davos that if you quote someone you need a cite the source?

Is the military full of such sycophants that they would invade a sovereign country like Iceland just because their Commander got the name wrong in the orders? I believe that from their work in Minneapolis the answer is a clear, "Yes, Sir!!!"

Kids, this is what happens when you spend all your time on NextDoor or Facebook talking to Karens, Billionaires and Oligarchs. Beware, don't let your parents spend all their time in a fantasy world or they too may believe that immigrants are taking US jobs and tariffs are not taxes.

That is a unique standard never before said in public, but that means that French Guiana, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Réunion, New Caledonia, and French Polynesia should all be under the protection of the US because France did not do so well against Hitler either.

Who the hell is in the White House saying, "That was cool what you said, Mr. President especially that 'I went there' comment"? Instead of saying, "That was way beneath the dignity of the office and are you feeling all right?"

Cool, but that is $1,407 for a family of three for 30 days or $16,891 for the year. The federal poverty line for a family of 3 is $26,650 in 2026. That is 63% of your pay going toward food which seems extreme to me since an affordable rent is measured at 33% of your pay.

Remember the good old days when the closest we came to ending our democracy was the day we were afraid that the Commander in Chief would defy the Supreme Court to hide all his crimes that he had recorded on tape? Now, that death of democracy happens every other day. It is exhausting.

It seems really nice that NBC is honoring the struggle for peace and justice by noted sports fan, MLK Jr, with a full day of basketball. Sports =Opioid of the masses.

As a community organizer and advocate, I was a paid protester for years. It is not illegal to be a paid protester and the Constitution does not say that you have a right to petition your government as long as you don't get paid to do so. Isn't a lobbyist paid to petition the government/write laws?

I guess that is the end of MLK Day in America. Time to move on to Malcolm X Day. "A man who stands for nothing will fall for anything".

And how the hell did Welker not laugh out loud when Bessent uttered this outrageous statement straight out of 1984? Sorry doc the patient died..."Well, at least we avoided his future death at a later date."

Can we call Ross: Brigadier General Nguyễn Ngọc Loan as a nickname instead?

These reporters need to spend 6 months assisting an elementary teacher to learn how to ask questions of juveniles who have underdeveloped brains and cannot really form complex thoughts. Then they would all have a better understanding of what these administration officials are going to say.

Another mystery for me is why didn't Hispanic voters listen to this man in 2015? Jorge Ramos warned us all and yet voters of Hispanic family origins either did not vote or could not bring themselves to vote for a Democrat. Now we have a secret police force knocking on doors and harassing non-whites.

I think I lost track of things. Trump put a 10% tariff on European countries for opposing our efforts to take over land owned by a fellow member of NATO, but I thought they had a 50% tariff from early last year? Or maybe it was a 25% tariff? When did those go away? Is there a scorecard I can check?

Gov. Walz should be ready for the Insurrection Act coming soon to a state near you. He should call out the Minn. National Guard and declare an emergency with every militia in the state (any group that carries a gun) responsive only to the Governor's orders. Every other group (like ICE) must leave

Is there any correlation between the unusually large number of horror movies and the terrifying time we currently live in? It seems like every other movie trailer is a horror film. Not a fan of so many horror films or so much horror on the nightly news.

Are you sure this was Michelle Obama and not Monica Geller forcing Ross to drink the fat and discovering that Joey and Chandler had been drinking the fat in a competition? That episode made drinking the fat look so cool that we were all drinking the fat like the good old days.

How much you wanna bet he shows up on this season of Pawn Stars trying to move a second hand Nobel? Rick Harrison will bring in an expert in order to determine the authenticity of a Nobel Peace Prize? Maybe do a video chat with Maduro behind bars?

I know you guys think this is a big deal, but for those of us watching from the cheap seats, we see this poll as 40% of Americans think, "A private armed militia that obeys only one man is not so bad." Frightening!

"I gave away my Nobel and all I got was this lousy red hat."

The Nobel committee should withdraw the prize for this last year and give it to someone worthy of the honor like the Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen of Greenland for his restraint in not invading the US to punish us for beating the war drums.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, [redacted]; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances as long as they are not paid.

Why, in the world of Pedophile Protectors, do the people of Iran get to protest their government but the people in Minnesota do not? And who the hell cares if they are paid or not paid (which they are not), but that is not illegal to pay someone to protest.

Squirrel!!!

I have decided that I am not taking down my Christmas tree until ICE is abolished. Now, does anyone know if there is a tool I can buy that can remove dust from a fake tree?

Schumer, you are so clueless. The quickest way to have Trump declare an Insurrection w/ Martial Law in Minnesota is when the local police started interfering with the National Gestapo. The question was, "When are you going to put yourself on the line to protect us?" Go to Minnesota and get arrested!

That seems like a lot of work for us to have to live fact check everything presented on the Evening News. After a long work day, I just want the most important news stories presented fairly and accurately. Don't you have staff to make decisions about news worthiness/accuracy with all those ad $$s?

I am really sad that Burt Saltzman has died in Cleveland. I used to work in his neighborhood and would see him in his little office over at Dave's on Payne Ave. He was helpful and great with the neighborhood groups and homeless people. www.cleveland.com/entertainmen...
