What a stupid story.
You’re probably fun at parties too.
Actually I am because of life experiences and travel. This is stupid because now they are not allowed to eat?
May have been there to confirm if someone they were looking for was actually working there. It is ICE so they can do nothing right.
When the agents said “It’s going to be hot tamale!”, the waiter thought they were ordering!
Hey! A man’s gotta eat!
hey, they can just as well make them enchiladas down in Monterey or Mexico City
it’s a “global economy” now, we’ve been told incessantly – right?
no idea if this story is true or just AI fakery, but if I were an ICE agent (and I might be), I would bring my lunch to work. I think it’s pretty risky to be eating out in a big blue city these days.
That is true. I would pack my lunch to. I don’t want someone else’s bodily fluids.
“Roul held a news conference on Tuesday, marking one year into President Donald Trump’s second term in office.
Over the past 365 days, Illinois has filed more than 50 lawsuits.”

Trump Adm wins most of the lawsuits. So maybe stop wasting your taxpayer’s money.

Professor David Clements substack article on the discovery of voting machines in Texas now programmed to change not just the votes but the backup information to verify the altered votes. Titled “BOMBSHELL: Tarrant County Hart Intercivic Machines Flip Votes and Manipulate Ballot Images”
https://professordavidclements.substack.com/p/bombshell-tarrant-county-hart-intercivic
The Texas Secretary of State, Jane Nelson, is poised to “certify” the Hart Intercivic system for the state of Texas but is failing to make public an expert report written by one of her own expert examiners, Clay Parikh. Based on previous testimony from that expert examiner, his report is unlikely to be an endorsement of the Hart system. If Nelson proceeds to “certify” the Hart voting system, she will be sanctioning a system that has been shown to produce fraudulent results and is intimately associated with the worst of the worst of the election vendors.
Call (1-800-252-VOTE) or email ([email protected] ) the Texas Secretary of State’s office and let her know what you think about her ignoring evidence that the Hart system is compromised.
Gov. Greg Abbott can/should remove her.
Not only does this Machine Rig the Election, it commits perjury when you ask it!
right in line with “white hispanic”
This is why so few know the truth about the amount of horrendous crimes committed by Illegals in America.
If you not the man’s description “authorities & media cover up: (1)note him as WHITE; (2)note him a “Florida man” instead of “Muslim.” (3)remove Jihad from his name.”
If one looks at the FBI Yearly Report by Race there is no category for Iranians, Somalians, Hispanics and other Illegals in America.
Over 90% of the illegals committing crimes are categorized und the category of White.
All these euro tyrants have left is cancelling their ‘democracies’. Their peoples despise them, and they are now unelectable.
Starmer is trying to suspend elections, Macron has had Le Pen banned from running, and the AfD candidates all seem to mysteriously die.
Western “Democracies”. Ha!
And if she does this, Italy, Spain, Sweden and many others will then follow.
This is the only, last, opportunity to retain any semblance of German identity, customs, people, language.
I hope the German people are able to successfully vote in numbers too big to rig because that’s what it takes.

This is what Republicans do best: lose.

I remember the Indiana RINOs saying they made a deal with MD to justify their back stab of the base.
Democrats never honor their deals. Just ask Ronald Reagan.
Am I allowed to be angry?
i believe you are exclusively supposed to be angry, and do absolutely nothing else.
Thank you MB. Read elsewhere that perhaps MD won’t be able to pull this off as their supreme court is Republican majority. But . . . if they are the Larry Hogan type of republican then all bets are off.
Indiana conservatives should brace themselves for incoming fundraising letters regarding the dastardly deeds of the Democrats..
ALREADY Getting Them !
You should be angry, just as PDJT is angry.
And declare war on the Indiana RINOs, just as PDJT declared last week.
And work to primary them off the field.
Or, you can sit there, and “do absolutely nothing else”, as you believe. These people are backstabbing idiots.
The same with the Senate RINOs that refuse to recess, and keep playing blue slip games, to throttle and thwart the Electorate’s agenda.
Wes “Give Me” Moore in MD is a bigger liar than obama.
Why doesnt Maryland just switch to internet voting with no ID, like Virginia?
NO doubt they will.
“On the campaign trail, President Donald Trump promised to end federal spending on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. Yet the government has continued to award contracts based on race and sex.
Despite rampant fraud and multiple court rulings against the practice, the Small Business Administration (SBA) has used “disadvantage” essays from business owners to skirt the rules and continue discriminatory programs that dole out billions in government contracts.”

“To Their Shock, Cubans in Florida Are Being Deported in Record Numbers”
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/us/politics/cubans-florida-deportations-trump.html
The only ones surprised by this are the Republican-oriented Cubans who were all too sure that they’d never be the target of this administration’s anti-immigration ire. Sorry! You got what you deserved, large voting bloc be damned! 😂😂😂
Just like Hispanics are in agreement with President Trump’s immigration policies even though it means deporting thousands of them, so too are the Cubans in support of his policies even though it means deporting thousands of them, too.
Or…maybe…just MAYBE…the Cubans being deported…were convicts in the prisons in Cuba…or former patients at the mental hospitals in Cuba…that Fidel Castro emptied out all those years ago…and put them on boats to send here.
President Trump is just returning the favor.
Trust me – I could care less about the Cubans.

Federal Subpoenas Target Walz, Frey in ICE Obstruction Probe
Last updated 13 minutes ago
The U.S. Department of Justice issued grand jury subpoenas Tuesday to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and other officials, seeking records on communications about ICE immigration enforcement. The probe ties to Operation Metro Surge, where DHS reports over 10,000 arrests of serious offenders like murderers and gang members in Minnesota over the past year, accusing locals of ignoring 1,360 detainer requests and releasing nearly 500 criminals. Minnesota officials dispute the numbers, noting fewer releases since the Trump inauguration and issues with nonviolent cases or documentation, amid protests, a U.S. citizen’s mistaken detention, and a fatal shooting ruled justified by feds.

One of birth tourism’s biggest appeals is the chain migration that it triggers. “When such children turn twenty-one, they can also apply for resident status for both of their parents,” Schweizer explains. To demonstrate the extent of the practice, he uses the U.S. territory of Saipan in the Pacific as an example, writing that “[m]ore than 70 percent of the newborns in Saipan are PRC birth tourist parents who utilize the territory’s forty-five-day visa-free visitation rules and the ‘Covenant of the Northern Mariana Islands’ to guarantee that their children will have American citizenship.”

Saw a clip of Rachel Maddow on Jimmy Kimmel saying that she thought the protests were useful. She talked about the political theory of the 3.5%, a theory that if that percentage of the population would become unmanageable then they would be too many for the government to deal with.
This is the theory these protesters are working under, they really believe if there are just enough of them that they can bully their own way.

Dang, that dude is gone on drugs, and by how he sounds stuffed-up, I’m guessing he was using some of the Biden stash.
so what happened to all the hyperventilating about the Epstein files? I’m asking, but I think I know the answer. All these Trump-hating RINOs, the fake news media, and the democrats thought there was something in those files that would tag Trump. There never was and if they didn’t have single-digit IQs, they would have known that before it all started. If Trump was in those files in a negative way, the DOJ would have leaked all of it to the WP and NYT back in 2015.
But since they all voted so fast to approve the release (faster than anything the GOP has ever done except give themselves pay raises) , release all of it already. I’m sure there are many people in those files on both sides of the aisle, inside elected office as well as on the peripheral. No one is even asking about this any longer. Why?
Where is that clown Tom Massie and his Trump-hate? Someone should ask that fake-hillbilly where the Epstein files are and why he isn’t asking about them any longer. He tried to kick Trump and missed like Charlie Brown and Lucy. What an asswipe.
8-18″ snow in the swamp might shut down the fed gov Mon and Tue.

I don’t usually get on the “where are the arrests” bandwagon, but in the Covid lies case, I will make an exception.
It is long past time for justice to be served. Alex Berenson, Steve Kirsch, and many others were on the natural immunity very quickly, but Fauci and Murthy and his entire crew lied and lied and lied, and their lies just up and murdered people who died from unnecessary and ineffective poisonous jabs.

FYI, there is scientific evidence that “vaccination” after infection is actually the worst case scenario for IgG shift.
According to Alex Krainer, before the Somali grift of public funds to support terror groups was set up here, it was rolled out via the grooming gangs in the UK – and those were the funds that were used to finance the 9 11 operation.
(towards the end).
In other words, the UK intelligence community and banksters were key co-conspirators in committing one of the worst attacks on US soil in history (at least up until the Covid operation).
Stay safe Alex Krainer.
Much as I hate to cite Wikipedia, it does prove Krainer correct – in 1945 the US granted legal immunity to all those UN and other NGOs, so they can launder money and other things, and no one can even peek at their books or hold them accountable.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Organizations_Immunities_Act
The law requires recognition of the NGO by the Secretary of State.
So, when POTUS yanked our membership from those 66 organizations . . . did they lose their immunity from search and seizure under the IOIA??

Spot gold just blew through $4,850 an ounce.
Wow
Someone can remember, 30 years ago, (gold at $ 300 / oz)
when another person asked,
‘why buy gold’?
Ans.
As a hedge ( a real commodity) against inflation.
[ and the inflation was relatively normal back then,
and so was the national debts ]

How about silver? Maybe six months ago it was in the 20’s. Now 94 and likely to break a $100 per ounce.

Scott tells it like it is in the den of globalism…
Mainly the attempt to be like Biden – but of note regarding his comments.
The EU ignores science and chases the hoax of climate change, CO2 is bad, and gene therapy shots are good.
The EU ignores dialog and bullies the countries of Eastern Europe to overturn their elections and force their globalist puppets into power, as well as banning their opposition parties.
The EU ignores the peace process in Ukraine and instead pours billions more into a senseless war that does nothing but wipe out the forcefully conscripted Ukrainians. It bullies nations within the EU to bow to Brussels or else, as well as arrests and imprisons anyone that attempts dialog or speaks out against their insane policies.

In honor of the first anniversary of the inauguration of #47, and for entertainment only, here is the Bad Lip Reading version:
BLR is consistently hilarious.
Marco Rubio finds out that Usha Vance is expecting another child…😁
probably not explaining this all that well, but here goes:
i understand that PT has a healthy ego,
earned by hard work and natural gifts,
but in no way do i think it’s overinflated,
and the accusations of egomania are nonsense.
PT uses the REPUTATION of his ego,
to which i believe he knowingly adds fuel,
to elicit certain responses from his opponents.
the texts from rutte and macron are a case in point.
THEY believe the secret to dealing with PT is to stoke his ego,
therefore compliments, while legitimate, lead their texts.
so, you have two critics highlighting, for all to see,
PT’s accomplishments, which would otherwise
be downplayed or ignored by those two,
and the media at large as well.
PT is getting his naysayers to do P.R. work for him.😂
not only that, but by acknowledging PT’s successes,
they expose the lack of their own.
it’s Trumptastic, it’s Trumpsational, it’s hilarious!😁

Well said. Thank you.
Virginia elected a New Democrat Governor..
Now Democrat lawmakers in Virginia introduced a bill titled “Elimination of mandatory minimum sentences for certain offenses.” Which gives liberal judges the authority to remove the “mandatory minimum” jail sentences for the following crimes.
— Murder
— Rape
— assaulting law enforcement
— Pedophile crimes
— possession and distribution of child pornography
— Repeat violent felonies.
Why in the world would they want to do that unless they were planing on letting out mass numbers of violent criminals?
For example, if the mandatory minimum required or murder is 10 years.. judges can (and will) release them much much earlier.

Between this and Virginia, Democrats will have actually won the 2025-2026 phase of the Redistricting Wars unless Indiana has a change of heart, Florida get involved, or the VRA is struck down.
Cont…
This is such bs. Florida is involved and there are other red states besides Texas redistricting. At best Indiana was only going to gain one seat. Now that Maryland has decided to go ahead, Indiana may have a change of heart since they seem to have had a pact with Maryland that neither would redistrict.
And the article ignores the very real possibility of the SCOTUS ruling that racial gerrymandered seats are unconstitutional, giving Republicans up to 20 additional seats once redrawn, mainly in southern states.
