All I'm gonna It's a joke.

It's Monday, January 12th, and Felix and I are back at it.

Obviously, on today's episode, the eyes of the nation now turn to the state of Minnesota and the city of Minneapolis.

As the regime's war on the employed and productive members of society has taken a rather dramatic escalation

with the murder of Renee Good by the otherwise unemployable death squad members of ICE.

So, I mean, obviously, like I said, for whatever reason, Minnesota and Minneapolis has become
