The Week in Memes – Astroturfed Outrage Edition

Welcome to this Week in Memes! We were hoping to start 2026 with a newfound optimism and a happy heart. What fools were we! We learned that the protest-industrial complex kicked it into high gear. From Maduro, defending Somali scammers (and the politicians who get their cut), to ICE, to a desperate five minute trying to make January 6 a thing again and back to ICE.

We think the only winner in all this is Staples and their sign printing shop.

To illustrate:

This week culminated in the death of a semi-professional protestor who was shot and killed in an unfortunate incident with an ICE agent in Minnesota. As JD Vance said, “I can believe that her death is a tragedy, while also recognizing that it’s a tragedy of her own making and a tragedy of the far left who has marshaled an entire movement — a lunatic fringe — against our law enforcement officers”

Warning: Dark humor ahead.

I’ve heard Hallmark is optioning this script as we speak.

The media kicked the spin off by describing her as a “mom of three”, “a poet” and “she had teddy bears in her glove box”. While all true, think about how they described Charlie Kirk or the CEO who was shot by Antifa heartthrob, Luigi Mangione.

This would save the rest of the nation from the chronic migraine we’ve been suffering.

Grab Bag! Because we need the levity.

Me, when the Missus sends me to the grocery store – every time.

OK, that’s a wrap. Until next week, stay warm, stay sane!

    Hi Gordon! Two TWIMS in one week. We are not worthy. Just when you think the new year is starting off with some tranquility and sanity,here come the leftist with their manufactured outrage and freshly printed signs to dump all over our optimism.
    I’m still trying to wrap my mind around the Maduro protests. You want a dictator released that was captured by a man who you think is a dictator ,but isn’t. It makes my brain hurt.
    We all know why the Somali protests happened. Money. The House hearing on the fraud turned into a World Star verbal fight and lecture that white people are horrible by the Dems. Anything to deflect from the real issue.
    I don’t want to be awful here but the dark humor memes are pretty darn good. I know. It’s a rough subject. The more I see of this entire situation it makes me see how truly evil and insane the left and their supporters have become. It’s truly horrifying.
    A great Grab Bag because we all needed it. And lastly those pesky produce bags are truly a menace. I hate them too! Thank you Gordon for the extra laughs this week. It was appreciated.
