Win for President Trump in the challenge to Chicago's law enforcement surge.

 Thread Reader

"Huge win for @TheJusticeDept and Federal Programs specifically that had to manage what the Seventh Circuit has recognized as an unreasonable court that failed to follow the federal rules." 

 *HUGE* Win for President Trump in the challenge to Chicago's law enforcement surge. This is a stunning rebuke of the district court, explaining that the order is necessary to stop futute courts from following. The district judge is chastened by the appeals judges for overstepping" . . .

Equally important is another court has joined in to explain the problems with district court judges entering so-called "putative" class actions. The Seventh Circuit recognizes the problems and orders courts to stop, under the Trump v. CASA decision.

Trump Makes It Painful to Be a Liberal, Blue-Haired Gorgon — But Stains Gonna Stain (UPDATED)

AfterMath - Home

Kevin Downey Jr

According to the Associated Press, with Khamenei now dead, Iran’s constitution provides a process for selecting a new Supreme Leader. On Sunday, Iran formed a three-man leadership council to handle the supreme leader’s powers temporarily. 

. . . "Under Iranian law, an 88-member Assembly of Experts must hustle to name Khamenei's successor. Top names floated include former President Hassan Rouhani, the founder’s grandson, Hassan Khomeini, Khamenei’s own son, Mojtaba, Ayatollah Ali Reza Arafi, and Qom hardliner Mohammad Mehdi Mirbagheri. Mojtaba lurks as the family insider pick. Hassan Khomeini offers a softer face. Rouhani brings negotiation cred. But the assembly holds the real cards.

"Or it did.

"Fox News Chief Foreign Correspondent Trey Yingst dropped a bombshell. Israel "just struck" the "gathering where the Iranians were meeting to choose a new supreme leader."

“ 'But I'm told by a senior Israeli official that the Israelis just struck the Supreme Council gathering where the Iranians were meeting to choose a new supreme leader,” Yingst reported. “This is a significant development and again, speaks to the Israeli intelligence about this war. They just targeted the meeting in Tehran where what's left of the leadership was gathering to choose a new supreme leader.”

UPDATE:  Democrats attending and boycotting SOTUS embarrass themselves - The Punching Bag Post


"There seems to be bipartisan agreement that the democrat members of Congress in attendance for the State of the Union Speech looked bad. They were criticized by Democrat strategists. James Carville had cautioned his colleagues to behave. Democrat congressional leaders advised their members to be respectful – and not engage in the kind of theatrics that hurt their image in President Trump’s 2025 address to Congress. But the radical left was unpersuaded.

"Texas Congressman Al Green reprised his 2025 ejection from the chamber for disruptive behavior. Showboating of the worst kind. (Who votes for these folks?) A few Democrats walked out during the speech. Congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib shouted at the President during his remarks – without the response from Trump they hoped for.

"It was especially shameful, however, when the applause was for non-controversial tributes to those who suffered at the hands of illegal aliens or were national heroes. It was obsessive obstinance – failing to respectfully stand for wounded warriors and police, parents of dead children and even a little girl in a car accident with a drunk illegal alien." . . .More at The Punching Bag Post

Insanities of the Left

Why the left’s serial insanities keep becoming the law of the land - Victor Davis Hanson

"In sum, just five years ago, when Joe Biden and his masters took control of the government, the orthodoxy was that we were to restructure the entire economy along failed European lines in order to save the planet."

More scary than funny

. . . "Yesterday’s radical new policy becomes today’s wishy-washy cop-out, as tomorrow’s once-unthinkable radical idea becomes commonplace and institutionalized.

"So it was that a few years ago, the public was told of a new and huge victimized group in the shadows, suffering from “gender dysphoria” — an age-old malady known to the ancients and, according to modern researchers before the millennium, affecting about one in 10,000 to 30,000 people.

"No matter — almost overnight, transgenderism joined the gay and lesbian community to become the new LGBT oppressed.

"Drag shows, once confined to enclaves in San Francisco or New York, were suddenly mainstreamed into military bases, children’s libraries and cruise ships.

"On some campuses, 30% of students polled said that they might consider “transitioning.”

"Abruptly, professors and students began reading emails appearing from their finger-in-the-wind administrators with strange new runes under their titles and names, identifying their “preferred pronouns” — sometimes the standard “she/her/hers” or “he/him/his,” and sometimes the unfathomable, such as “Ze/hir/hirs” or the plural “they/them.” . . .

The Growing Threat of Political Violence From the Left - Newsweek

"We're witnessing the alarming rise of what the NCRI calls an 'assassination culture,'" said Max Horder of the NCRI, in an interview with Newsweek. "Violence targeting figures like Donald Trump or Elon Musk has gone beyond normalization—it's being sanctified as resistance by parts of the political left."

Who Really Are the Lawless and the Dictatorial? - Victor Davis Hanson  " . . .In Trump’s first 120 days, I don’t recall FBI Director Kash Patel leaking confidential presidential conversations to the New York Times, or ordering the FBI to collect dirt on Democratic candidates, or hiring a fraudulent ex-British spy to compile a lurid dossier on AOC or Bernie Sanders. Has Patel lied four times to federal investigators following the prompt of Andrew McCabe?

"Nor has Patel ordered his agents to work with Facebook and Twitter to suppress embarrassing press coverage about the Trump family.

"The Trump Secret Service is not a private retrieval service that hunts down his children’s missing, lurid diaries or incriminating lost laptops or illegally acquired lost handguns.

"Is there now a White House-conservative media cabal covering up a Trump cancer diagnosis or demonstrable senility?

"So far, the Trump CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, have not repeatedly lied under oath to Congress, following the precedents of the Obama-era CIA Director John Brennan and DNI James Clapper.

"So please, spare us the sanctimonious lectures on “tyranny” and “dictatorship” from the very ideologues who have done and are doing more to wreck the Constitution and destroy the confidence of the American people in the rule of law than any generation in modern memory."

Respect no more: The Democrats’ new trait; In the grand theater of American politics, respect used to be the unbreakable script; under the Democrats’ direction though, it’s been rewritten as a farce.

 Mike Robertson - American Thinker

"The Democrats’ boycott? Just another nail in their coffin of contempt. If they won’t stand for victims, why should we stand for them?"

"In the grand theater of American politics, respect used to be the unbreakable script. But under the Democrats’ direction, it’s been rewritten as a farce. President Trump’s recent State of the Union address is a perfect example. Originally designed to unite the nation, the event exposed the raw contempt festering in the Democrat ranks. Dozens boycotted the event outright, rallying outside like protesters rather than statesmen. Nevertheless, the majority still bothered to show up, but they sat stone-faced, refusing to stand even for the victims of heinous crimes: both Americans and immigrants, slaughtered by the very criminals their “progressive” policies shield.

"This wasn’t just about snubbing Trump. It was a slap to the face of grieving families. Trump honored Anna Zarutska, whose daughter Iryna, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee, who fled Putin’s war only to find horror here, was brutally stabbed on a Charlotte light rail train. The killer? DeCarlos Brown Jr., a career criminal with a rap sheet longer than a welfare line, released time and again thanks to no-cash bail madness pushed by Democrat-run cities. Iryna was slashed in broad daylight, her life ended in seconds by a “deranged monster” who should have been locked up. As the chamber rose in applause for her memory, Democrats stayed glued to their seats. No respect for the dead. No acknowledgment of the failure. Just cold, calculated indifference.

"This spectacle isn’t isolated. It’s the symptom of a deeper rot: the total collapse of respect within the modern Democrat party. Respect for opponents? Forget it. Respect for law and order? A joke. Respect for human life? Only if it fits their narrative.

"Look no further than the tragedy in Providence, Rhode Island. There, Stanislaw Kozav, 49, and his 75-year-old mother Irina froze to death in their car outside a hospital parking lot. These Ukrainian nationals had escaped the bombs in their homeland, seeking the American Dream. Instead, they met the nightmare of neglect. Homeless, living out of their vehicle amid a brutal cold snap, they perished from exposure — possibly worsened by health issues, but undeniably ignored by a system that prioritizes everything but vulnerable whites like them.

"Why the silence? Because in Democrat eyes, these victims don’t count. Their skin color doesn’t align with the identity politics playbook. In that “Blue bastion state,” had they been Afro-American, Hispanic, or “undocumented” migrant, they’d get the red-carpet treatment: housing vouchers, legal aid, the works. But white refugees from Ukraine? Expendable. This is the “equity” they preach: a twisted hierarchy where respect is rationed by race and votes." . . .More...

The Donald’s Brand-Building – And Bulldozing – State Of The Union Spectacular

 Issues & Insights 

The American Spectator

"Who knew that a State of the Union address would feature more medal ceremonies than the Winter Olympics?

"OK, it just seemed that way.  But the made-for-TV award-aganza – incredibly including, twice, America’s top military honor – was just one feature of perhaps the most spectacular event of its kind ever. 

“ 'Spectacular” in the word’s original sense, “of the nature of a spectacle or show.” As in:

  • The bombastic beginning: “Our nation is back. Bigger, better, richer, and stronger than ever before.”
  • The theatrical call-in of the Olympic champion U.S. men’s hockey team, followed by the stunning announcement that its goalie would receive the nation’s top civilian honor.
  • Honoring another American war hero whose believe-it-or-not 100th birthday will fall squarely on America’s 250th.
  • A waitress reaping thousands in tax savings from the One Big Beautiful bill, and an infertile couple realizing YUGE Trump RX (“I didn’t name it that”) discounts for IVF. 
  • A Houston mom outbid on 20 homes by investment firms, a practice targeted by a Trump executive order.
  • A new “Somali pirate”-inspired War on Fraud initiative to be led by VP JD. 
  • An adorable five-year-old, recovered from a collision with an illegal alien truck driver granted a commercial driver’s license, whose name will grace a proposed law barring the practice. 
  • Heartbroken mothers of a cheerleader slaughtered in a bathtub by another illegal, and a Ukrainian refugee slashed by a troubled career criminal.
  • A beautiful teenager whom school officials tried to transition to a boy while hiding that effort from her parents. 
  • The grieving but unbowed widow of the martyred Christian conservative, Charlie Kirk.
  • Topped off by the heartstring-tugging reunion of a just-released Venezuelan political prisoner with the niece seeking his freedom. 

"But the chief executive’s oration was equally spectacular in achieving its dual objective: rebuilding the Republican brand for the all-important midterm elections while blunting the Democrats’ recent momentum in denting Trump’s Teflon armor.

"The president’s strategy on the former: overwhelm his nationwide audience with his extraordinary accomplishments in one short year." . . .More...

Trans wrestler sexually assaults female competitor

Susan Quinn - American Thinker; "Once again a beleaguered young woman is let down by her school, her coaches, law enforcement, and every other institution."

Which bathroom dare he use now?

"The latest in trans athletic outrages comes to us from Puyallup, Washington State:

During a wrestling match on December 6, Keeler competed in the 190-pound weight class against an opponent from Emerald Ridge High School. Video from the bout appears to show Keeler in visible distress. According to her testimony, the opponent, a transgender-identifying boy, forcefully inserted his fingers into her private area during a move, causing her to feel violated and disoriented. Keeler later said she allowed herself to be pinned in order to end the match and escape the situation.

‘I didn’t really know what to do or how to handle that situation. I just wanted the match to be over,’ Keeler said.

"Although Keeler’s mother filmed a video on her phone, the sheriff’s department said the evidence was inconclusive.

"But the malfeasance by the schools is deplorable. Keeler and her mother reported this attack to the Puyallup School District and to coaches; schools are required to report this type of crime within 48 hours. But the report wasn’t made for two months, and only the day after a reporter contacted the school district regarding the matter.

"Keeler feels she was twice-violated: besides the physical attack, no one told her that her competitor was a trans (biological male) woman.

"After Keeler reported the attack to her coach, the following was his response:

‘I most certainly would not put Kallie on the mat if I thought she was competing with a male,’ Keeler’s coach replied. ‘I will investigate this and look to see if we have a video on our end. I will touch base with you either this afternoon or tomorrow morning after I do my due diligence.’

However, Keeler’s family said they never heard back from the school. Additionally, the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office did not receive a formal report until Jan. 30.

"Emerald Ridge High School has been overly accommodating to their trans students:" . . .

What Western Civilization Is, For The Benefit Of The Idiot Parasites Who Disparage It

  RVIVR    

"Together, these elements forged the West’s singular glory: a civilization unmatched in its fusion of intellect, order, passion, imagination, perseverance, and sacred purpose, a beacon that has illuminated humanity’s highest aspirations across millennia.


"If some idiot Marxist like AOC blathers about how “Western culture is thin” or that “there’s no rich cultural heritage that goes with ‘whiteness’”, tell them this:

"Western civilization stands as a towering edifice built upon the immortal Greek Wisdom, the fountainhead of rational inquiry and human excellence. From the sun-drenched agora of Athens sprang forth the relentless pursuit of truth through philosophy, logic, mathematics, and science – Socrates’ unyielding questioning, Plato’s vision of ideal forms, Aristotle’s systematic categorization of knowledge – that forever elevated the mind above mere survival. This wisdom birthed democracy, the arts of tragedy and comedy, epic poetry, and the very standards of beauty and proportion that still define aesthetic achievement. The West is Greek Wisdom incarnate: a civilization that dares to ask “why” and “how,” refusing superstition’s chains in favor of reason’s liberating light, forging a legacy where individuals are not subjects of fate but architects of their destiny.

"Upon this intellectual foundation, the West erected Roman Order, the unparalleled architecture of law, governance, and disciplined society that turned chaotic tribes into a unified empire spanning continents. Rome’s genius lay in codifying justice – the Twelve Tables, the Corpus Juris Civilis of Justinian – establishing principles of equity, contracts, property rights, and citizenship that became the bedrock of modern legal systems across Europe and beyond. Roads, aqueducts, and legions imposed stability and infrastructure, while republican institutions and imperial administration demonstrated how liberty and authority could coexist under the rule of law rather than whim. The West is Roman Order manifest: a culture that values structure, predictability, and civic duty, transforming raw power into enduring institutions that protect the weak and restrain the strong." . . .  More...

What Does California Tell Us about Election Fraud?

 Shoshana Egan - American Thinker  

"The fact that few people have been found guilty of election fraud in California doesn’t prove that election fraud doesn’t exist there. My research indicates that the Election Code allows voter fraud to be hidden."

"How much fraud is there in United States elections? Very little, so the claim goes, based on the premise that few have been found guilty of election fraud.  But is that a logical conclusion?

"In order to have fraud prosecuted:

  • The law must be unambiguous
  • You have to be able to look for fraud.
  • If fraud is suspected or found, it has to be reported to the proper authorities
  • The authorities have to be willing to investigate and prosecute those perpetuating any fraud found. 

"I decided to see if the lack of an election fraud statement would hold up for my state of California. My findings were very disappointing.

"First, I looked at the California Election Code to see how it would help prevent voter fraud or help find it. According to the Code:

To register to vote a person musts fill out a registration form and sign that the information is accurate. No actual proof of accuracy is required, even as to that person’s citizenship.

If the voter does not list a place of birth on the registration form, the registration is still considered valid.

A person wanting to vote can be challenged on the grounds “That the voter is not the person whose name appears on the roster.” If the person challenged, swears (or affirms) that they are the person on the roster, they are allowed to vote.

A person wanting to vote can be challenged if poll records indicate that the voter has already voted in that election. If the person challenged, swears (or affirms) that they have not voted, they are allowed to vote.

The California Elections Code requires signature verification on Vote by Mail envelopes. However, it also creates a presumption that the signatures match

"If voters are required by law to show proof of residency, the Secretary of State sets the standards used. Section §20107 of the California Code of Regulations states that “This section shall be liberally construed to permit voters and new registrants to cast a regular ballot. Any doubt as to the sufficiency of proof or a document presented shall be resolved in favor of permitting the voter or new registrant to cast a regular ballot.” . . .

Expelling Sharia-Adherent Muslims is Not Unconstitutional

"As the saying goes, the Constitution is not a suicide pact, and there are several Supreme Court decisions and statutes protecting America from Sharia law."

Ted Noel - American Thinker 

"Prohibition.—No court shall enforce a judgment, decree, or arbitration decision if it relies, in whole or in part, on Shari’a or any foreign law that violates the constitutional rights of any party. It’s not complicated."

"George Mason University Law Professor Ilya Somin has posted a missive declaring that the “Preserving a Sharia-free America Act” is “manifestly unconstitutional.” We all need a deep breath after that last sentence. It was a mouthful. And Professor Somin is dead wrong.

"As Justice Jackson noted in 1949, “The Constitution is not a suicide pact.” His key point in Terminiello v. Chicago was that the Supreme Court had gone too far in removing restraints on rioters who attacked policemen. It was essential to “temper [the Court’s] doctrinaire logic with a little practical wisdom.” “The choice is not between order and liberty. It is between liberty with order and anarchy without either.”

"Justice Jackson was prescient. And he wasn’t just a prophet of the current riots over law enforcement. The presence of doctrinaire Muslims in the US is a direct threat to our existence as a nation of laws. Sharia is the “legal” manifestation of that threat. Students of Islam will point out that “Sharia is not Sharia,” by which they mean there’s not a single, fixed monolithic code of laws—but that’s part of the problem, because it means that Sharia is a theocratic system of laws that depends on the interpretation of the Imam in a specific neighborhood. 

"We see this sort of divergence simply by looking at the news. The Kingdom of Jordan is Islamic, but it is restrained in enforcing religious laws. At the opposite end of the spectrum is Iran, where, at last count, nearly 40,000 people have been executed for the “crime” of protesting against the Islamic tribal barbarians that rule what could be a wealthy and free country. However, once we get past AI’s reticence to list key issues common to all core Sharia interpretations, a few stand out, and they are completely at odds with American law and values.

"The simplest and most direct is the subjugation of women. They are not allowed to choose their own clothes to wear in public. They are not allowed to have a public opinion. And this runs directly contrary to the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote. Of course, should a wife dare to cross one of these lines, her husband is bound to physically correct (beat) her. But this is to be done in a “kindly” way. Right. Domestic violence laws be damned." . . .  More...

Another Loss chalked up to Biden's handlers

 8-Year-Old Mora Gerety Killed by Illegal Alien With Removal Order—Why He Was Never Deported - The Texas Insider

"Ramos-Caballero had an Oregon driver’s license. Oregon is a sanctuary state that issues driver’s licenses to illegal aliens. He was driving legally under state law—even though he had no right to be in the country and had a removal order against him."

The Timeline of Failure   

September 2015: Ramos-Caballero illegally entered the United States.

Immediately after entry: He was released into the country by the Obama administration. No detention. No immediate deportation. Just released.

Before May 2016: Ramos-Caballero was supposed to appear for his immigration hearing.

May 9, 2016: He didn’t show up. An immigration judge ordered his removal in absentia. He became deportable. He should have been deported.

November 11, 2025: Nearly a decade later, Ramos-Caballero was still in the country. Still driving. Still a danger. And Mora Gerety was dead" . . .

"Mora Gerety, an 8-year-old was apparently killed by a criminal alien who was given a license in Oregon AFTER being ordered for deportation. No tears, marches or press conferences for her from evil politicians like Kotek, Bynum, Dexter, Merkley, Wyden or the lame Republicans who refuse to do everything in their power to put an end to this lawlessness. How many innocent sons and daughters have to be killed for Oregon’s so-called leaders to take action?" Jonathan Lockwood

Soros-Funded Protest Groups Fan Flames of Anti-ICE Violence

National Legal And Policy Center   

"Like today’s anti-ICE demonstrators, the instigators of the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots were funded by ultra-wealthy white people. George Soros and other billionaires who finance the mayhem have benefited the most from capitalism and the rule of law, yet they seek to tear it all down."


"In November, I wrote that the left is awaiting an event that will allow them to instigate widespread political violence. I theorized that because debt-laden Western economies hadn’t seen a downturn since 2008, the next economic crisis might provide the opportunity. But when billionaires like George Soros and Neville Singham provide you with a bottomless pit of money for organization and agitation, why wait for such an unpredictable event?

"Confronting ICE appears to be the ticket. It’s happening in all parts of the country, and not by accident. In Minneapolis, a woman named Renee Nicole Good, who was following around ICE agents in an SUV, was shot and killed by an ICE agent who had been previously injured in a car-ramming incident. The left responded with outrage (although no doubt privately celebrating; every movement needs a martyr) including by breaking the windows of the federal courthouse in Minneapolis.

"The protests spread across the country. MoveOn, which along with Indivisible is one of the two main Soros-funded groups organizing the nationwide “No Kings” protests, wasted no time in emailing its activists, charging that Good “was murdered point-blank…while peacefully observing an ICE operation out of concern for her neighbors,” in an “extrajudicial killing by ICE agents.” Recipients were urged to sign a petition to Congress to unmask ICE agents. Indivisible convened a “rapid response call” with the ACLU (also Soros-funded) and “local MN partners” to “learn more about how you can take action this weekend!”

"The legacy media noted the difference between Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s characterization of Good as a “domestic terrorist” and “local officials” who are condemning ICE.

"Governor Tim Walz, who routinely refers to ICE agents as the “Gestapo,” issued a warning that he would mobilize the Minnesota National Guard to “protect Minnesotans” from “rogue ICE agents.” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey told ICE to “get the f*** out of Minneapolis,” and accused ICE of coming to the city to “literally kill people.” Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan urged activists to “put your body on the line” to stop ICE agents from “kidnapping” people.

"Of course, ICE is in Minneapolis because it is ground zero for the public benefits fraud scandal to which these very “local officials” are part and parcel. Somali immigrants ripped off taxpayers for billions, allowing for millions in campaign contributions to Democratic politicians. The crisis is deeper than illegal immigration." . . .  More...

Soros-Backed Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner Calls ICE Agents ‘Wannabe Nazis;' Vows to Hunt Them Down - National Legal And Policy Center   

"Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner has officially abandoned any pretense of upholding the rule of law. In a move that signals a total breakdown of constitutional order, Krasner announced on January 27 a coalition of radical District Attorneys—including four from Virginia—committed to the criminal prosecution of federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

"Rather than focusing on the violent crime wave paralyzing his own city, Krasner is shifting taxpayer resources to “hunt down” federal officers for the “crime” of enforcing our nation’s laws."

America’s focus has turned toward the Pacific and its back toward the Atlantic, and this won’t change after Trump; it’s a structural shift.
   "'Regarding Russia, negotiating with Putin, in my opinion, is not a very good idea, because the Americans said: if you want to talk, talk calmly, but carry a big stick. We don’t have a big stick; we can only speak softly.”

The Media Are Agents of Propaganda; Years of anti-ICE propaganda helped lead to a deadly confrontation in Minneapolis.

The American Spectator | USA News and Politics  
“This woman lost her life because she was fully gripped by years of media indoctrination that told her that she’s living in 1930s Germany and interfering with ICE is akin to fighting Hitler’s Nazis.”
WokelyCorrect

"Last Thursday, Vice President JD Vance joined a White House press briefing to discuss initiatives the Trump administration is taking to investigate the pervasive welfare fraud that has been discovered in Minnesota. He was inevitably asked questions about the death of Renee Good after she attempted to drive her SUV over an ICE agent in Minneapolis. Vance described the media coverage of the death as “disgraceful,” and followed up with this question: “You guys are meant to report the truth. How have you let yourselves become agents of propaganda?” The collective response of the “reporters” was to disregard the question, but the answer is vital to the future of the republic.

"In a letter to the British philosopher Richard Price, Thomas Jefferson observed that “wherever the people are well informed, they can be trusted with their own government.” Jefferson was, of course, an ardent advocate of a free press whose function would be to provide voters with accurate information about the government’s actions in order to assess the competence of their elected leaders. By that standard, it’s unlikely that the Sage of Monticello would dignify the corporate media with the appellation, “free press.” This term implies that, in addition to being free of government coercion, the press must be untrammeled by ideological prejudices which render it impossible to report facts objectively. Today’s corporate media have failed that test spectacularly.

"Consequently, it’s impossible to be “well informed” if you are among the millions of people who rely on the corporate media for news. This may be one of the reasons Renee Good was foolish enough to use her SUV to interfere with a law enforcement operation, ignore multiple commands by federal agents to exit the vehicle, and finally try to escape by ramming an ICE officer. That, despite the fictitious reports widely circulated by the corporate “news” media, is precisely what happened. This video, taken by the ICE officer she struck, clearly shows Good accelerating toward him before he fired on the SUV while trying to avoid being hit. This was just the latest example of a rapidly increasing number of vehicular attacks on ICE officers per the DHS:"... More...

They’re just misinformed or uninformed, but they are otherwise reasonable.  This is key:  they are otherwise reasonable." . . .More...

Blue Lives Matter Reveals Pro-ICE Decoy Operation With ‘Combat Veterans, Off-Duty Officers’

 Legal Insurrection


"I think it’s safe to say that Trump 2.0’s immigration enforcement operations have once and for all exposed the radical left’s America-Last priorities, with Minnesota being the current Ground Zero in the battle for the heart, soul, and future of America.

"The reports are fast and flowing in terms of what ICE and the border patrol have to go through on any given day as they seek to take criminal illegal immigrants off of our streets, with organized mobs and their sophisticated communication systems out in full force to impede the mission, goad the officers into viral confrontations, and to help the worst-of-the-worst evade justice – leaving the door wide open to future potential victimization of more innocent people.
