Excerpt: “If you disagree … fine, make that argument,” Vance said in response to a question from a reporter during an Ohio event to promote the White House’s economic policies. “But make that argument at the ballot box. Write an op-ed in the newspaper, argue about it on social media. Don’t go to the streets and start assaulting federal law enforcement officers because you disagree with the policies of our administration. It’s cowardly bullshit, and it’s got to stop.”

Me again: Of course, nobody’s assaulting ICE agents — which amazes me. ICE bullies everyone, and so far, nobody has literally fought back, which deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.

The kid looks maybe 8 years old — the worst of the worst, no doubt.

Excerpt: According to the lawsuit, agents told hospital staff that Castaneda Mondragon was “laying down in handcuffs when he attempted to flee, and then, for unknown reasons, purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

When one ICE agent was asked by medical providers for more information on Castaneda Mondragon’s injuries, the agent said that “he got his shit rocked” and did not elaborate further, the lawsuit says.

“This process of continuous alteration was applied not only to newspapers, but to books, periodicals, pamphlets, posters, leaflets, films, sound-tracks, cartoons, photographs – to every kind of literature or documentation which might conceivably hold any political or ideological significance.”

Excerpt: “I think the desperation is palpable right now, and we need to do something,” Ms. Grueneberg said. “I’m lucky enough to have the privilege of a comfortable home, being able to buy my own food and go out and feel somewhat safe, for the most part, and it’s about time that we support our neighbors.”

Oh, the irony, of police officers being hassled and having guns pulled on them because of the color of their skin.

There’s been no mention of this in Seattle’s only newspaper.

Democratic Party officials and office-holders are shit with ringworms if they can’t bring themselves to say ICE should be abolished. Which means, almost all Democratic Party officials and office-holders are shit with ringworms.

Excerpt: The $64.4 billion bill, which includes roughly $10 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), passed the House by a vote of 220-207. All but one Republican, Rep. Thomas Massie (Ky.), voted for the measure.

The seven Democrats who sided with Republicans were Reps. Henry Cuellar (Texas), Jared Golden (Maine), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Wash.), Laura Gillen (N.Y.), Don Davis (N.C.), Tom Suozzi (N.Y.) and Vicente Gonzalez (Texas).

Me again: So, without the support of Democrats, the funding would’ve been defeated, 214-213.

A Democrat, an ex-cop, and always obviously corrupt.

Excerpt: Just last week, Adams called reporters to Times Square, where he began hyping a digital asset called the NYC Token. It was part of what seems to be a grifty, multimillion-dollar memecoin hustle, known as a “rug pull,” in which investors are encouraged to buy a cryptocurrency asset by operators who quietly siphon off the invested money, leaving buyers with little or nothing. Adams and/or his unnamed partners in NYC Token may have netted a million dollars in the space of a few hours.

Excerpt: House Bill 2641 specifically applies to ICE agents who were hired after President Donald Trump began his second term on Jan. 20, 2025. Simmons told The Seattle Times that the reasoning for applying the law to only agents hired after that date is because of the way those agents have been trained and is not based on political affiliation.

“I think the people who are signing up to be part of this administration’s immigration enforcement and the tactics they’re using across Washington is really concerning, and I don’t want people that are trained in that culture to come and infiltrate our culture,” Simmons said.

Excerpt: When we found out that Dan Bongino was going to be the deputy director, concern reached a fever pitch. We were going to have two people who it would not be an exaggeration to say were conspiracy theorists with very little experience in federal law enforcement.

“Another way the Party controls the minds of the people is by destroying historical evidence that contradicts what the Party wishes the people to believe…”
—Orwell, 1984, of course

Evidence of drug smuggling remains zero. All we have are Trump’s claims, which logically function as evidence the boats are not smuggling drugs.

Where have I heard that before?

We have always been at war with Iceland.
