O’Connor’s Quick Strike – Monday, January 12th, 2026.

Three brutal examples of how Democrat manipulation doesn’t just divide the country – it gets people hurt, killed, and economically wiped out.

Story 1 – Career Protester vs. Democrat Rhetoric
Painter and activist Scott Lobaido has spent 35 years protesting, thousands of events, dozens of arrests – and he’s still alive. Why? Because he doesn’t resist police. Hands behind his back, no fighting, he battles in court instead of in the street. https://www.tiktok.com/@slobaido

Meanwhile, Democrat politicians, activists, and legacy media have spent years training people to see cops as the enemy. That lie helped push protesters like Renee Good into resisting – and she ended up dead. Who owns that body count?

Story 2 – Ilhan Omar’s Mob Hunts ICE Agents
Just days after Democrats mourned January 6 as “the darkest day in our democracy,” Ilhan Omar shows up at an ICE facility in Minnesota with a fired‑up crowd. DHS says the explicit goal of that mob was “hunting down” ICE officers.

No seven‑day notice. No serious “oversight.” Just a photo op and pressure campaign at a federal facility – from the same people who scream “insurrection” at their opponents.

Story 3 – Texas State Fair Fear Hoax
The Texas State Fair lost 400,000 visitors – mostly Latino families – dropping from 2.4 million to 2 million attendees. Officials quietly admit “immigration enforcement concerns” were a major factor. People stayed home terrified that ICE would be there.

Reality: ICE wasn’t there. ICE has never been there.

The cost? Roughly $680 million in lost economic activity and around 7,000 jobs affected. Small businesses, workers, and Latino families all took the hit… for a fear narrative that wasn’t even true.

The pattern is crystal clear:
Democrats manipulate, scare, and endanger the very people they claim to protect – then point fingers at everyone else.

Unfiltered conservative commentary and fearless political analysis from John O’Connor.

Hold the line, Patriots. Unapologetically.
