Anti-ICE lunacy hits new low: Activist allegedly air-horns cops investigating school threat that had nothing to do with ICE
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and other law enforcement officers have been facing interference from the public, especially since the January 7 death of Renee Good after she nearly ran over an ICE officer with her vehicle during an immigration operation.
Not to be outdone with their spread of chaos and confusion, leftists have now apparently expanded their targets to non-ICE operations and putting other police investigations in jeopardy.
‘Deranged liberals are interrupting non-ICE police actions because Democratic leaders have whipped them into a frenzy.’
On Wednesday, the Brewer Police Department in Maine reported an incident in which a woman allegedly interfered with a police investigation into a threat at a school — an investigation that had nothing to do with immigration operations.
The investigation involved a threat involving a person of interest who “had communicated an intent to kill school staff and others.”

According to the police department’s Facebook post, officers staged a meet-up at a residence to “safely contact the person of interest.”
However, “at approximately 8:16 a.m.,” an activist began interfering in the attempt to contact the person of interest, police claimed. She allegedly repeatedly sounded an air horn, refused lawful orders to leave, yelled expletives at the officers, and shouted that she “didn’t want ICE” in her neighborhood.
“Her actions interfered with legitimate law enforcement operations and created a real risk to the investigating officers,” the statement said.
Investigators later found that the person of interest was not responsible for the threats and that multiple schools had “received similar threats that morning, consistent with ‘swatting’ incidents.”
The Maine Wire’s Steve Robinson slammed the incident on X: “Deranged liberals are interrupting non-ICE police actions because Democratic leaders have whipped them into a frenzy. Today it was an unidentified white female using an air horn to disrupt an investigation into threats against a school.”
“When will these agitators get charged?” Robinson added.
In an update to the Brewer Police Department’s Facebook post, the woman suspected of interfering with the operation was identified as Mary Conmee, 63, of Orrington, a town just a few miles southwest of Brewer.
Conmee has been summonsed for the offenses of disorderly conduct and obstructing government administration.

Health emergency on space station led to first-ever medical evacuation from space, says NASA chief to Glenn Beck
An official of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration explained how they successfully performed a medical evacuation from space for the first time in space operations history.
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman gave as many details as he could about the incident while being interviewed by Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck on Wednesday.
‘It was a very serious situation, something we had not seen before in space.’
Four astronauts returned to Earth on Thursday, including the ailing member of the crew. They splashed down in the Pacific Ocean near San Diego.
Isaacman touted the extraordinary training that U.S. astronauts undergo while offering some details about the historic incident.
“One of the greatest accomplishments that we’ve done at the International Space Station is the continuous human presence in space over a quarter of a century,” he told Beck.
He went on to say that the environment in space is extremely harsh on the human body and requires many safety precautions.
“This is why we do extensive training. Our astronauts are practically physicians; in fact, many of them are,” he explained.
“Everyone did an extraordinary job,” Isaacman said of the “unexpected health-related” incident.
“The Crew 11 astronauts, their other expedition mates on the International Space Station, the flight surgeons in mission control, they all responded accordingly. The incident was stabilized very quickly,” he added.
Isaacman was restricted by medical privacy rules from offering specific details on the incident.
“Clearly, it was a very serious situation, something we had not seen before in space but had accounted for the possibility. And that is why we put in motion the option to bring our astronauts home early, which I think really speaks to American leadership in space,” he continued.
“We can send our astronauts up more or less on command, which is what we’re going to do with Crew 12, is pull their mission forward,” Isaacman added. “And we can bring our astronauts home as required. And this is very important to President Trump and obviously his position on American supremacy in space.”
The four astronauts were transported to a medical facility in San Diego by NASA.

‘By accident’: CNN panelist apologizes after accusing Trump of involvement in Epstein sex-trafficking ring
A gun-control advocate apologized and claimed to accidentally accuse President Donald Trump of being involved in the Epstein trafficking ring.
Cameron Kasky made the comments while speaking on a CNN panel before posting his apology on social media on Tuesday. Many called on the president to sue the activist over the comments that could be considered slanderous.
‘I said that by accident and didn’t mean it.’
Kasky was confronted by commentator Scott Jennings during the segment, which led Kasky to repeat the claim. He was singing a far different tune the next day.
“I would like to retract my comments from CNN last night and truly apologize,” Kasky wrote.
“Donald Trump was obviously not involved with a giant international child sex trafficking ring where women and children were systematically raped by elites,” he added. “I said that by accident and didn’t mean it.”
Some online believed the tone of the message was sarcastic.
While the president had a past connection to Jeffrey Epstein, he has never been convicted of participating in Epstein’s alleged sex-trafficking ring. The billionaire financier later accepted a plea deal where he admitted guilt to a felony state charge of soliciting a minor for sex.
Kasky became an advocate for gun control after surviving the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in 2018. He has since spoken at rallies and in the media about restricting gun rights.

Epstein was found dead in a Manhattan jail while awaiting trial for additional sex-trafficking charges in 2019.
The allegations that he orchestrated an underage sex-trafficking ring for the wealthy and powerful have led to many suspicions that he was killed to avoid incriminating alleged co-conspirators.

Trump announces ‘framework’ of ‘great’ deal with NATO on Greenland
After months of threats and recriminations, President Donald Trump announced that he has reached a “framework” of a deal on Greenland with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
The president made the announcement on social media Wednesday after speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
‘This solution, if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America, and all NATO Nations.’
“Based upon a very productive meeting that I have had with the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, we have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region,” the president wrote. “This solution, if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America, and all NATO Nations.”
He added that he would revoke the threat to impose tariffs on eight nations after reaching the deal. The tariffs had been scheduled to go into effect February 1.
“Additional discussions are being held concerning The Golden Dome as it pertains to Greenland,” he added, referring to a missile defense system proposal.
Earlier in the day, he argued that annexing Greenland was essential to U.S. security as well as that of the Western Hemisphere.
“Greenland is a vast, almost entirely uninhabited and undeveloped territory. It is sitting undefended in a key strategic location between the United States, Russia, and China,” he said in his speech.
“This enormous, unsecured island is actually part of North America — on the northern frontier of the Western Hemisphere,” he added. “That’s our territory. It is therefore a core national security interest of the United States of America — and in fact, it’s been our policy for hundreds of years to prevent outside threats from entering our hemisphere.”

The president said that Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and special envoy Steve Witkoff would lead the negotiations on the deal.
The president has also said he would focus less on peace in his tactics on Greenland after the Nobel Committee snubbed him for the Peace Prize.

‘Stupid people’: Trump gives European allies tough love during Davos speech
President Donald Trump addressed the annual World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday and had a tough message for a rapidly transforming Europe.
Trump began his message by lamenting the direction Europe is going. Trump pointed out that by most metrics, Europe is shrinking where it should be growing.
‘That’s why issues like energy, trade, immigration, and economic growth must be central concerns to anyone who wants to see a strong and united West.’
“The consequences of such destructive policies have been stark, including lower economic growth, lower standards of living, lower birth rates, more socially disruptive migration, more vulnerability to hostile foreign adversaries, and much, much smaller militaries,” Trump said.
He also referred to European leaders as “stupid people” for buying Chinese-made windmills and other “Green New Scam” materials instead of investing in more efficient means of energy.
“You’re supposed to make money with energy, not lose money,” he quipped.

Despite the jab, President Trump reminded these European leaders that the United States is deeply vested in the future and well-being of their countries.
“The United States cares greatly about the people of Europe. We really do. I mean, look, I am derived from Europe. Scotland and Germany. … We believe deeply in the bonds we share with Europe.”
“As a civilization, I want to see it do great. That’s why issues like energy, trade, immigration, and economic growth must be central concerns to anyone who wants to see a strong and united West.”
Trump called for a stark reversal of European decline: “Europe and those counties have to do their thing. They have to get out of the culture that they’ve created over the last 10 years. It’s horrible what they’re doing to themselves. They’re destroying themselves … these beautiful, beautiful places.”
“We want strong allies, not seriously weakened ones. We want Europe to be strong,” Trump concluded.
