“Trump will not find perfect solutions. He will find OPTIMAL solutions. We cannot ask for more.
Trump has stood by and watched Perfect murder Good for 8 years – maybe longer. He’s not gonna do it.
He’s going to deliver the best outcome possible, and he’s not waiting for us to feel relaxed about it.
Best presidency ever! Just hang on. More winning is coming, but a lot of people are going to scream that it’s all over at EVERY turn.
Bash the neocon, warmonger, and dopey globalist positions – not the people who are going to hold them one moment and come loose from them later.
A few will get slung off into space, but most will come along for the ride of their lives.
I am ON the Trump Train for good, even if I scream that I want off and can’t take it. In the end, I only want to scream “TOO MUCH WINNING!!!”

Here is the game plan that the forces against Trump will be using for the foreseeable future.
They will attempt to get you to make the perfect the enemy of the good.
Be it the freedom clowns and spending, the immigration hawks with H1B visas, the peace doves with timing, the cultural warriors with total bans of DEI/CRT, the neocons with war fighting, or the swamp dwellers with draining the swamp.
All of them will attempt to get you to believe on whatever issue is the issue of the day that it doesn’t go far enough or do enough.
They will try to make you think that some sub issue of that issue is more important and should be handled first, that since the issue hasn’t been handled yet it won’t be, that we can’t do more than one thing, that so and so is a plant to stop the draining of the swamp, or that because it wasn’t 100% Trump lied. On every single issue, one or more groups will attempt this strategy.
You can’t allow them that power over you. If Trump secures the border and deports 2 million, don’t allow them to reduce that good by them saying well he didn’t deport 2.5 million, so he failed or lied.
You can’t allow them to use the perfect to void out the good in the coming months.
They will try. They already have with the CR and the H1b visa debates. It works, that is why they use it.
You have to keep it in the front of your head on everything about to occur that half a loaf or hopefully in most cases 7/8ths a loaf is better than no loaf.

SPECIAL BULLETIN: Israel Launches Major Strikes on Iran
Link to full house hearing where Hochule, Pritzker, & Walz we’re skewered. 🔥 🔥 🔥
🔥 🔥 🔥
Follow Tompkins County sheriff release of dangerous, mentally unstable illegal. Jim Jordan grills Hochule about this in the hearing. Reporting is sparce & hard to find.
Rumour has it that: the inmate plead guilty to a state (Hochule) assault charge. His lawyer asked court for release, conditioned on mental treatment. Judge ruled no: keep him in custody, but he was released anyway before feds could pick him up w/a warrant.
Reports are he is now in federal custody.
Also rumour: charges that he pled to involve assault, assault on LE, & something about a machete.
Here’s something. (No other local coverage that’s easy to find.)

Here’s a NYT’s report from January:
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/nyregion/ny-sheriff-ithaca-immigration.html
Times reports that the DoJ had a federal warrant.
(Of note, imo, Emil Bove is from the Fingerlakes, as is his father.)
DoJ press release:
“…Romero-Hernandez was then in the custody of the Tompkins County Sheriff’s Office in Ithaca, New York, 👀 AWAITING RESOLUTION 👀 of New York State assault charges, U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) provided a copy of a federal arrest warrant, signed by a U.S. Magistrate Judge, to the Tompkins County Sheriff’s Office.
On Jan. 28, after Romero-Hernandez’s New York State assault charges were resolved by his plea of guilty to assault in the third degree and a sentence of time-served, the Tompkins County Sheriff’s Office refused to honor the federal arrest warrant and released Romero-Hernandez before ICE-ERO arrived to pick him up and bring him to federal court in Syracuse to be arraigned on the pending federal criminal complaint.”…

Emil Bove:
“…’The Tompkins County Sheriff’s Office in Ithaca, NY, a self-described sanctuary city, appears to have failed to honor a valid federal arrest warrant for a criminal alien with an assault conviction,’ Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove wrote in the DOJ press release. ‘Yesterday, despite the warrant, a defendant with no legal status and a history of violence was released into the community.’…”

Sheriff Osbourne:
“…Tompkins County Sheriff Derek Osborne said, ‘ICE does not inform my office of potential raids, and we do not have jurisdiction over immigration enforcement.’ He added, ‘We do not work with them in any capacity. I can’t think of a time we have even had an interaction with ICE.’…”

Prosecute using USC 8 ! When will that start??
Those 3 faces! It looks like a line-up of ugly, both inside and out.
Here’s a report on the underlying assault charges:
https://cnycentral.com/news/local/criminal-history-of-mexican-national-arrested-in-ithaca-detailed-in-federal-court
…”Following his arrest in the parking lot of Ithaca’s Department of Social Services building two days later, Hernandez appeared in federal court on Tuesday in Syracuse. There, government prosecutors revealed Hernandez has multiple outstanding bench warrants for domestic violence incidents in the State of Georgia from 2020. He was then arrested in Lansing, NY for destroying property in a hotel room in March of 2022. That case was ultimately dismissed due to mental illness, which landed Hernandez in a state psychiatric facility for about one year.
In September 2023, prosecutors stated that Hernandez was arrested in a homeless encampment in Ithaca. He allegedly put a police officer in a chokehold, a charge that was also dismissed. He’s then accused of biting the thumb of a corrections officer once incarcerated.
Hernandez’s defender, Gabriela Wolf, argued that Hernandez should be released on the condition of receiving necessary mental health treatment. Judge Therese Wiley Dancks ultimately ruled that Hernandez would remain detained, expressing concern that he still had four pending misdemeanors and had shown an unwillingness to cooperate with law enforcement. Judge Dancks also noted that he had used at least three aliases since illegally entering the United States.”…
“Between July and September 2016, Hernandez had been removed from the United States seven times.”…
Arrested in the “jungle”, assaulted local police & a corrections officer?
If Judge Wiley Dancks ordered that he be detained for pending misdemeanors, who ruled in favor of his release? How did that happen?
To be continued …
Here’s the story of the original charges. Tompkins County Sheriff’s Office went looking for Hernandez in the Ithaca “jungle” for outstanding warrants in September 2023. He resisted arrest, & assaulted a police officer:

So many ????
CNY Central had questions too & didn’t get answers, due to “resistance” & “administrative problems”:
https://cnycentral.com/news/local/federal-government-challenges-ithacas-sanctuary-city-policy-with-arrest
…”Efforts to obtain more information about Hernandez’s case have been met with resistance. Officials with the Tompkins County Court system pointed to administrative problems as a reason to block access to public court records or answer basic questions about the timeline of Hernandez’s plea and release. Offices including the clerk, county attorney, sheriff, district attorney and county administrator have not been responsive.”…
Who was the judge that accepted Hernandez’s plea & ordered his release?
Is this the same guy?!? Wanted in Mexico for sexual assault of a 14 yr old.

Short. Biased appropriately:
https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/special-bulletin-israel-launches/
AGREED! Startest post in a long time.
President Trump is transparent in his words and actions. He is consistent in what he says, what he does, and what he asks/demands of others. His promises are bold and he keeps them like no other president has. He is making massive, nearly overnight changes, not only in the country, but in the world. It is amazing that he is able to accomplish so much when there are so many snakes in the grass. This term, he is weeding them out faster.
The purpose of President Trump is plainly visible and consistent: He is for the benefit first of the common PEOPLE of this country, then of the PEOPLE in the rest of the world. It is validating, even to our battered conservative skepticism.
The methods of his leadership are amazing. I still don’t get HOW he does it, or HOW he is able to get so much momentum going, but every day the momentum is growing. Everyone and every organization has their eyes opened every day — just by watching him. Even those who hate him, are biased against him, and want to see him gone — cannot ignore him. He lives rent free in their head, and they come around to seeing the universal principles by which he is operating. He hammers actions based on truth from one direction, then another, and they cannot mount an organized opposition against him.
He has chosen to use his intellect and every skill he has to do what is right. He has tremendous faith that he can make a difference in this world. He has a confidence and courage such that he doesn’t care what others think, yet a humility to know he has to do it with the help of like minded people. Those people are the “common” people, and he ridicules those who think they are not common.
He believes people are basically good. He believes that God is real. He believes that healthy people are happy people, and they need to be able to create wealth freely for their labor, and have the freedom to spend their money on what is good for them.
He believes the United States, with its Constitutional Republic, is the best environment in the world to enable and give opportunity for people to be happy and prosperous.
He believes that we can be a light for the world, but we must demand that the rest of the world respect us and our right to life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of happiness.
He believes the enemy of our country are the stupid, greedy American people who have been selfishly taking advantage of this country; who betrayed the trust and obedience of its people; and who diverted the people’s wealth for their own selfish gain, at the expense of the principles of this country. He’s not going to allow that anymore.
He has cultivated and focused the family of MAGA. Identifying those people whose goodness, industriousness, trust, and obedience have been taken advantage of and abused. He has opened our eyes to this abuse, and the rights of freedom and self determination that have been quietly stolen from us.
He has rekindled the healthy distrust of government and men with too much power held by our founders. He has recultivated the desire to reclaim our freedoms and rights, and is empowering us with a hope and pathway to reclaim our spiritual and economic freedom.
He wants the US to be a light of hope on the hill for all people. He will negotiate win/win agreements with those nations and countries who respect us; who respect the principles and intent of our Constitution. If you do not respect us, however, we are not going to let you take advantage of our goodness, or share in our wealth at our expense. If you as a nation are treating your people badly, you are going to be treated less favorably by us, until you show that you value your people as much as we value ours.
He is convincing those who are very wealthy (most of whom truly earned their money), that the best economic soil in which to build wealth is in a constitutional republic, which supports the ability of the common man to earn wealth in proportion to his efforts. The economic engine of the United States is the human spirit freed to enjoy the fruits of honest labor, and that engine has more natural and raw horsepower than any other governed economy.
The Trump Train seems to be remarkably aligned with universal principles of Truth, which reflect the will and design of our Creator, and are the best standard by which we should live. These same principles were what our country’s founders used to declare independence, and framed into the Constitution of this nation.
Our founders believed that a nation should preserve the right and freedom of an individual to seek, understand, and live by God’s principles. They believed that free individuals working together in humility would make a stronger nation than a government which dictates its will on the people. President Trump professes and seeks to lead and restore this nation back to these same principles.
These principles resonate deeply within all human beings, down to our DNA in every cell, in our spirits, and produce fruit that “miraculously” multiplies. Because we follow universal principles, we see the snowballing acceleration of momentum on day 145 of the 2nd term of this very stable genius in the history of the kingdoms of this world in the year of our Lord 2025.
Beautiful!
A very good start to my day to read this.
Thank you!
Guess What is Listed as a Topic For Discussion at This Year’s ‘Top Secret’ Bilderberg Meeting…

“The 71st Bilderberg Meeting is taking place from June 12–15/2025, at the Grand Hôtel in Stockholm, Sweden, owned by the Wallenberg family. This annual, invitation-only conference gathered around 120–140 influential figures from politics, industry, finance, academia, and media, mainly from Europe and North America, to discuss global issues privately under the Chatham House Rule, which allows use of shared information but prohibits identifying speakers or attendees, ensuring candid talks without official commitments….”

Depopulate The Globalist Death Cult Trash Today!
If someone depopulated the Bilderberg meeting it would be a good start to help them with this depopulation thing/
.
I like this idea. Was thinking the same thing as I read about this meeting. Talk about an opportune time to begin to eliminate a good amount of the trash causing so many problems in our world.
I am with you on that one, brother!
Wonder if Ms Lindsey will attend this year, like he has at times in the past…

Who wants to die for a bunch of crazed Mullahs? Could it be support for the Mullahs may not be as strong as we have been told? Just wondering?
“support for the Mullahs may not be as strong as we have been told?”
We have been told a lot of things that are not true over the decades.
Which is one of the reasons Tulsi Gabbard went over to Syria to find out for herself what was going on.
Some “powers that be” did not like that, because she confirmed what she suspected – that Congress was being lied to.
Our Founding Fathers had issues with “the news” in their day as well.
Are You Prepared to Fight for Your Own Freedom?
June 13th, 2025
By Tom DeWeese
June 13, 2025
“……We are very polite people. We keep trying to defend liberty. Today, we need to get off the defense and take the offense. I think we can do that by taking that definition of private property as our banner and start demanding our rights.
If you are serious about winning to preserve your freedom, don’t wait for President Trump to do it for you. He has enough to do. Get off the couch, stop making excuses, and take your own action. That’s what our founders did! The American Policy Center (APC) has created many tools and strategies to help local activists to fight back effectively. Many are provided in our Activist Handbook which teaches you how to build a “Freedom Pod” in your community. We’ve done the hard work. Follow those teachings and you can start to make a difference. Bottom line — it’s time for you to be responsible for protecting your own freedom!”
https://newswithviews.com/are-you-prepared-to-fight-for-your-own-freedom/
I don’t trust any “organization” that tells me what to do to defend myself, or that wants to sell me a “handbook” on how to make a “Freedom Pod.”
Our nice Asian community members showed us what we need to do during the previous LA riots.
Saturday would be a good day to take appropriate action.
Enforce the Communist Control Act
By Cliff Kincaid|
June 12th, 2025
June 13, 2025
“….What is the solution? To take a current example, the FBI must understand that what is behind the LA riots — and before that, the George Floyd riots – is a network of communist groups that will exploit any cause for the purpose of destabilizing the United States. The media try to obscure these facts.
A law intended to jail subversives, the Communist Control Act, is on the books (50 U.S. Code § 841). The Department of Justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi can enforce it, leading to mass incarceration of identified communists.
The role of one communist group, the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), is apparent for all Americans to see, as their banners and signs carry their names and are being mass produced and seen on television. Members of communist groups have been involved in firebombing Tesla dealerships and assassinating the two Israeli embassy staffers on the streets of Washington, D.C….”
https://newswithviews.com/enforce-the-communist-control-act/
I think they could eliminate 2/3rds of the Criminal Code since these laws are never enforced..
Lost me on Pam Bondi.
IMO Pam Bondi has her hands full heading an agency full of employees resistant to MAGA.
Her directive from PDJT is to round up the imported criminals threatening the wellbeing of citizens before going after those persecuting PDJT.
She could do a lot more IF she had 5-10x more MAGA employees at her disposal.
I can run an AI paralegal program ..
IDK who you could send your resume’ to.
Read an Iranian exile’s X account. She fled Iran and lives in London. People are on the streets calling for the overthrow of the mullahs
https://nitter.poast.org/NiohBerg
Calls for the overthrow of the mullahs may be genuine (or not), but I expect part of “the plan” is to stir up an insurrection in Iran, because a “more aligned” Iranian gov’t solves a lot of problems for the US.
My Iranian friends did not like them 25 years ago, either.
I had a thing for Persian women, so I used to go out of my way to get to know them.
Democratic Billionaire Pushes “No Kings Day” Protests
Posted Jun 13, 2025
By Martin Armstrong
“….What pawns.
The sheep are being led by none other than Christy Walton, who is sponsoring numerous ads for the “No Kings” movement, including a full-page ad in the New York Times. That’s right—Walton, as in one of the billionaire Walmart heiresses. Christy Walton, the widow of John T. Walton, was worth an estimated $41.7 billion at one time and could never sympathize with the average American or migrant. Her fortune wields power, and she’s using it to manipulate people into believing they’re supporting a grassroots, virtuous cause. Walton is merely using her money to mobilize the minions to do her bidding.
Walton has long been a Democratic supporter, backing Kamala Harris on the campaign trail and contributing to left-wing causes, such as the Lincoln Project and WelcomePAC. Walmart, the company, has issued statements to insist that her actions do not reflect the company’s political position. Still, much of her net worth depends on the retailer’s success.
Walmart has been forced to offer low-skilled laborers higher wages to maintain minimum wage standards. They were forced to offer higher wages and better benefits to attract employees during the post-COVID labor shortage. Migrants were the solution to their labor problem. Trump ended the CHNV parole program that permitted migrants to work in the United States, instantly changing the immigration status of 500,000 noncitizens. The Supreme Court upheld the decision, and corporations, such as Walmart, were forced to terminate thousands of migrant employees who were paid less than citizens.
Walmart also came toe-to-toe with the Trump Administration over tariffs. The retailer said it would be forced to raise prices, and even considered adding a “tariff price” sticker on products. Donald Trump told the corporation to “eat the tariffs,” insisting the corporation was simply price-gouging consumers….”
https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/politics/democratic-billionaire-pushes-no-kings-day-protests/
I couldn’t shop less at sprWalMart..
I am not a Walmart shopper either.
Sometimes I go with a friend and might purchase something I cannot get from a local small business.
I have despised Walmart for over 30 years. They are an evil corporation that moves into small towns with artificially lower prices than local stores, which inevitably drives them out of business. Soon the Walmart prices tick up and package sizes tick down. I have watched it unfold numerous times.
For everyone who humorously said, “Keep the popcorn coming…this is entertaining!” Well, we are at the MOAB of popcorn weekends. The enemy is going all-in this weekend to destroy Christianity, America, Trump, MAGA and our future.
Yet, each one of you with a cable subscription are giving aid-&-comfort to the enemy…it’s not just Chrissy Walton funding the NO KINGS movement.
Excerpted from a Breitbart article yesterday: “It worked like this…. CNN receives about $1 a month for every cable TV subscriber, which at one time added up to about $100 million a month and $1.2 billion a year, even though fewer than a million people watched.”
(Full article here: https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2025/06/12/nolte-warner-bros-discovery-credit-rating-downgraded-to-junk/)
That $1 a month to CNN is called a carriage fee. Every channel gets a carriage fee, except the shopping channels. How much? I don’t know. I read a few years ago that ESPN gets $8 a month. That may or may not be accurate.
“Carriage fee agreements between cable operators like Mediacom and content providers (such as TV networks) are typically confidential and not disclosed in detail to the public. ” Perplexity.ai
Whether you ever watch cable TV or not, as long as you pay the bill you are giving aid-&-comfort to the enemy. Please do not tell me or anyone here that there is “some good stuff on TV” just because you cannot live without the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, NASCAR, Squawk Box, TCM, Pawn Stars, Ice Road Truckers, Gunsmoke, etc, etc, etc. My ex-brother-in-law told me, “I buy Playboy for the writing.” (I know REACHER is streamed…do you know the star HATES-HATES-HATES Trump? HATES him.)
If just half of MAGA nation dropped cable four years ago, we would have crippled the enemy and they would have never recovered.
I may come across with an anger-management issue this morning but I do not understand why more people do not connect the dots. Cutting cable was hard for about three days. Then I found myself more happy, more productive, more zoned in on my family and friends and God. Today I see a TV and I have to walk away because of the poison.
Please, for your children and grandchildren…cut the cord.
And pray without ceasing this weekend my friends.
Agreed. I heard this week that CNN numbers are down to like 347,000 viewers. That’s extremely low.
So it looks like many are in fact finally waking up and tuning out. By comparison, other sources of getting our news is rising exponentially.
Or as Sleepy Joe would say, expodentially. Maybe he needs more Prescription Jugs.
I saw that, too, MAGA Minuteman.
What is oddly curious about the demos between CNN and MSDNC is that CNN has the lower total viewers of the two, like by half, yet they are way above MSDNC in the key demo of the 18–49 age group, which advertisers focus on.
P.S. Some advertisers refer to the 25–54 age group as their key demo. Both are used in the industry.
I got rid of cable a while back. So now we just have internet. That’s all we really needed anyways. Other than sports, we rarely watched anything else. We can stream individual services as we choose with just the internet connection.
I watch the Gutfeld Show on the internet and that’s the only time I see anything from CNN, MSDNC and The View. It’s when the Gutfeld Show trashes them. It’s hilarious!
That’s probably the only way a bunch of people see them or even know they still exist.
I believe MSNBC is even more poisonous than CNN and their ratings are also in the tank.
“MSNBC has experienced a notable decline in ratings during 2025, particularly when compared to the previous year. In May 2025, MSNBC averaged 877,000 viewers in primetime, which represents a 24% drop compared to May 2024. In the key demographic of Adults 25-54, the network averaged 73,000 viewers in primetime, a decline of 34% year-over-year.”
But remember these licensed channels are purely leftist propaganda! Ratings and profitability are not important but getting out the propaganda is! The corporations that own them aren’t in the business of providing a financial return. The return to them is getting out leftist, globalist, bull💩l ideology for the sheeple consumption!!! JMO
CNN just got demoted to the c team under ownership. They are fading fast. Cable is fading fast. I think it will take care of itself over time. Younger people want the streaming services and to choose what they want to watch on all their electronic devices. We should probably help the demise of cable along though. Shut it down.
WE CAN DO THIS CJZAK!
Thank you for the analysis. My personal interaction with cable began in 1978 and ended in 1994 and I haven’t had any sort of subscription related to dedicated television for over a decade and mainly installed satellite because I was married and it was a wife thing.
Nowadays I have one subscription, a pre-paid cell phone that does television/video, telephone and internet for me and provides a NOC to make my person and location look real to authorities. 33 bucks a month, plus about 40 cents in tax.
I did have some popcorn last night while watching the Israel attacks and LA protests. It’s an inexpensive, filling snack for an oldster on a limited budget. Breakfast just now was 1/3 a tin of small fish steaks, canned fish really, about 2 ounces, and a cup of coffee, all prepared by battery power.
I’ve found prayer and humor help in times of adversity and conflict. That’s part of why I visit the Treehouse because members here exhibit what I feel is a health balance of those qualities along with more serious analysis and experience sharing like you did here. Greatly appreciated.
What will Friday the 13th bring? I don’t know, but Fed Ex better deliver the rare treat of some deli items I ordered for tomorrow’s 250th anniversary, 79th birthday (Army and PDJT) and Flag Day party. They’re. a day late already on an air freight shipment.
First world problems, or so I used to laugh about. I don’t know how first world we are any more. God bless and stay safe out there!
June 14 is also President Trump’s birthday, I believe. Another reason for the celebration.
“If just half of MAGA nation dropped cable”
Does it count if you never have had cable?
I figured the tv thing out forty years ago.
We cut the cord, earlier this year. We now buy internet only. With an antenna I put up and a Roku, we have free HD channels galore. No more cable tv bill.
I suspect that everyone here who was going to already has. You’re basically preaching at the already converted.
Sorry bud, I still need internet service for engineering consulting. Cable is my only source.
We hardly watch TV, yet we both need high speed internet connectivity.
It seems like a better route would be to change the cable operations. Allow selection of certain channels. Allocate carriage fees accordingly.
I agree with you. I have two TV sets I bought used in 2015 and 2023 because they were great deals. I have not even plugged them in yet.
I would not pay for TV bundles, either.
Only ala carte for channels I want, which is not offered.
My 88 year old mother owns the TV in the parlor and pays the bill.
After she receives her promotion to glory, the cable TV subscription is going to be terminated.
2 Corinthians 5:6-8 KJV

Another example of billionaires importing foreign workers for profit– citizens be damned.
My older son left Walmart perhaps 8-10 years ago. He was a department manager. He was continuously getting employees not trained properly, so he was having to do both his job and theirs.

You know we see a reach for control of people, who needs to be controlled if everyone is taught the word of God? It addresses these billionaires who are compelled to control everyone, and the ignorant who find solace in words but never achieve results past destruction. Banks? That’s usury, it’s wrong and we see why.
It really falls to one thing, if you don’t want it done to you don’t do it to another. You think Bill Gates wants to kill himself? Maybe, he wants most of the population dead.
The only people who were condemned by Jesus were the religious leaders, they talk and achieve destruction. Their job was to teach Gods way. Not to condemn, teach a better way.
How many would choose right over wrong if they knew the manual and understood it?
Freedom is in the choice but if you do not know the choices is it freedom? Regardless of how you say it sin or separation is death and righteousness is life, relationship with our lord.

Rep. Brandon Gill Clashes with Gov. JB Pritzker on Immigration, Restroom Policies, and State Grants at House Oversight Hearing Today |
Gill challenged Pritzker on a grant to the Muslim Civic Coalition, which protested “U.S.-backed genocide against Gaza” shortly after Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack.
Gill asked, “Is that a reflection of your values?” Pritzker, who called Hamas a “terrorist organization,” defended the grant.
During a fiery House Oversight Committee hearing, Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) grilled Illinois Governor JB Pritzker (D-IL) on issues ranging from the costs of illegal immigration to restroom policies and state-funded grants, exposing sharp policy divides.
The exchange, marked by intense questioning and deflections, drew attention to controversial topics with both officials standing their ground.
Gill opened by pressing Pritzker on the financial toll of illegal immigration in Illinois, stating, “It costs over $780 per family per year. That’s a lot of money, isn’t it?”
Pritzker admitted, “No, sir, I do not [know the cost],” prompting Gill to pivot to a tragic case in Texas involving two undocumented immigrants, Franklin Jose Peña Ramos and Jose Martinez Wrangle, who raped and murdered 12-year-old Joselyn Nungaray.
Gill demanded, “Do you think that elected officials should have welcomed them into our communities?” He cited Pritzker’s earlier remarks during the Biden administration’s border crisis, noting Pritzker had said illegal immigrants “should have been welcomed and helped by elected officials.”
Pritzker countered, “Someone who commits murder should be held accountable,” but struggled to address whether such individuals should be welcomed preemptively, adding, “I don’t know how you can tell before somebody commits a crime.”
The discussion grew contentious as Gill questioned Pritzker’s stance on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), asking, “Do you support abolishing ICE?” Pritzker firmly responded, “No, I believe we need an immigration force in the United States.”
However, Gill pointed out that Pritzker’s administration gave $12,000 to Organized Communities Against Deportations, which recently marched in Chicago with signs reading “Abolish ICE.”
Gill pressed, “Is this a reflection of your moral values?” Pritzker reiterated, “I do not support abolishing an immigration force.”
Shifting topics, Gill asked, “Do you think biological men should be able to use women’s restrooms?”
Pritzker questioned the relevance, saying, “I’m not sure how this has to do with immigration.” Gill persisted, alleging Pritzker had advocated that “everyone should use the other gender’s bathroom,” and asked, “Have you ever used the women’s restroom?”
Pritzker denied the claim, stating, “I do not advocate that,” and accused Gill of politicizing the issue: “You are politicizing this in a way that what we ought to be focusing on is encouraging women to use women’s restrooms and the Congress to deal with immigration reform.”
Gill countered, “Have you ever considered that women don’t want you in their bathrooms? That’s a private space.”
Finally, Gill challenged Pritzker on a grant to the Muslim Civic Coalition, which protested “U.S.-backed genocide against Gaza” shortly after Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack.
Gill asked, “Is that a reflection of your values?” Pritzker, who called Hamas a “terrorist organization,” defended the grant, saying, “What we do in the state of Illinois is stand up for what we believe… We don’t take away people’s right to free speech.”
Gill retorted, “They’ve got the right to free speech, but they don’t have the right to tax dollars, and you gave them to them.

Of course she does not keep track of illegal aliens in New York, you wonder why
It’s obvious that these paid anarchy agitators are being paid by the Democrat party that is funded by dark money through Globalist elites that want to see America destroyed.
They are fighting back, because every illegal alien counts towards the census for that state, in turn giving them more seats in the House. They are losing power with each illegal alien that is deported!
God Bless another Hero, The Kenosha Kid …… protecting businesses in his community from rioters roaming the streets
Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha, Illinois.
Gunfighter Ballads, Kenosha Kid: AR on a Sling
Wisconsin, not IL
MuncyPAon,
Thanks, my mistake.
Kyle is from Antioch, Illinois, just across the state line from Wisconsin.
He traveled to Kenosha to help protect a friend’s business.
That is the divide in a nutshell.
I’ve often wondered about the hypocrisy of an ideology that promoted both slavery and civil rights.
I’ve also reflected upon being raised by Democrats and never developing racial biases, neither for nor against any particular race, instead viewing humans through the lens of their actions and choices. Perhaps Democrats before during and after the war were a different flavor, I don’t know.
Hence I never perceived black men like Doris Miller, who gave that full and final measure of devotion to our great Republic even with the bias and oppression he personally experienced, as anything other than what they were and are, heroes. Today it could be someone like Dr. Ben Carson or, more personally, the genius black kid who tutored this struggling Russian kid about calculus in school, without pretense or bias.
God be with our heroes in this fight against evil. Anyone remember this one?
I do. He was murdered on the street during the summer of violence by the criminal mercenaries run amok in our cities while protecting a business. He was a retired police captain, David Dorn. I had to look up the details of exactly when and how, but I remember the image of his demise like it was yesterday when it was reported.
I count myself among patriots who remember.
Thank you CP. I too remember David Dorn, Patriot and hero gunned down during Floyd riots IIRC.
He was working security for a small business and tried to prevent the mob from destroying the business when they shot him.
It was shameful how the media ignored his story as it was against their narrative of defund the police.
Glad he is definitely remembered.

Is it illegal to be a proud registered democrat?
When you provide the means to bring in illegals with tax payer money, when you do all you can to prevent their removal, when they commit heinous crimes against the American citizen, when they burn down our cities and other violent acts, you are an accessory to their crimes and therefore you are a prosecutable criminal as far as I am concerned.

Well, there WAS a protest in Chicago yesterday, was wondering about a media blackout….Brandon Johnson’s quotes sound like a typical commie.

Removed.
There is no CONgressional right to oversight of a press conference.
Exercising oversight is done in a hearing, requesting information via letter or visit. It’s not done aggressively barging into a press conference & assaulting the official with verbal abuse.
The “Senator” staged a photo op to further the communist demoncrap’s assertions of authoritarianism. That’s it.
And if you approach someone at a podium in an apparently aggressive manner – as this person very clearly was – then security forces are going to intervene quickly and remove you from the room. That’s true anywhere. No matter “who” you are.
This Senator should be censured by his colleagues for behavior unbecoming of a Senator. “Zero tolerance.”
Security did not act fast enough.
They allowed an unknown individual to rush too close to the podium.
Furthermore, the video clearly shows that he was not slammed to the ground. But he should have been right then and there.
1. Filmed by his staff
2. Not elected
3. Appointed by Newsome
4. Replaced Kamala
He was making a video for his election to the office to which he was appointed. His ‘team’ was video taping the whole thing.
I suspect he is a naturalized citizen. Fix it.
It doesn’t matter who you say you are – nor who you actually are – if you are behaving like that. Security forces are going to maintain order. You were entirely out of line, and should be censured.
If security had not reacted, this thug would have demonstrated to his lunatic supporters that cabinet officials could be attacked. I claim Thug Padilla was trying to show how easy it would have been to go after officials.
Has there ever been a bigger idiot in office anywhere? He is more insane than Harris.

The claim of $200 daily payments for “No Kings Day” protesters in NYC on June 14, 2025, lacks credible evidence. It stems from a TikTok video, but no official sources, including the “No Kings” website or news reports, confirm payments. Similar past claims have been debunked as pranks. The protests appear grassroots and volunteer-driven. The claim is likely misinformation, but without definitive proof, uncertainty remains. Verify with primary sources.
Most of us know the meaning of ‘GIGO’ (Garbage In, Garbage Out) when referring to computer programming. Might we also need a sub-designation of that with ‘BIBO’ (Bias In, Bias Out)?
Attempted intelligence has hybridized. The different systems have created their own languages and all read from the same playbook now. Grock is just as bad as Open AI. I wouldn’t listen to any of it for anything.
“Nationwide protests organized by a web site” are not “grassroots.” And I do not think that these people intend to hold candles on a snowy hillside and “teach the world to sing.”
I anticipate that the strategy is to cause nationwide violence to crop up all over the country at the same time – a popular strategy of color revolution.
“Pray for peace, but prepare for war.”
Check your protection mechanisms today and be prepared to use them.
Yes, grassroots is, in my opinion, this….
Back then, I called these people ‘overpass patriots’. The watermark on that picture is from the same guy who’s covering the Los Angeles protests and riots, Taco Joe of IRT Media. I captured that image while watching the convoy live in 2022. The convoy was organized and funded but the overpass patriots sprung up spontaneously across the country. A few of us participated in them and followed all of them. Grassroots, local.
I thought I read here that Craigslist was the medium used to advertise for paid protestors? If so send some undercover Police to sign up and determine if any laws are being broken? Are they being encouraged to protest peacefully or violently? If paying out cash I’m surprised they haven’t been jugged/robbed!!! If protestors are being paid are they really “protestors” or just paid actors??? Just wondering?
When someone is delivering masks, bricks and weapons , it isn’t grass roots. Don’t be an idiot all your life take a day off.

change of plans?
I can deal with negotiating and compromise on a lot of things, (including Ukraine).
This is NOT one of them.
It is my personal MAGA line in the sand.
Instead of looking at it as negotiating and compromise, look at the actions as pro-American farmer or anti-American farmer.
President Trump is pro-American and pro-American farmer. He’s also pro-American consumer/food eater.
Also, as Stephen Miller stated a while back, migrant workers account for a very small portion of the agricultural industry, like only a few percent. Can’t remember the exact percentage but it was very low, close to one percent.
Clean Food is for the Elites. The food like substances and modified produce they let us have are poisonous.
And that is the first time I’ve heard Mr. Miller speak Republican’t.. illegal labor is a mainstay in nearly every sector here in Florida. It ain’t just Agriculture.
Clean food is for the elites???? What?????
You can load up on fresh fruits and veggies – organic, etc – and grass fed/grass finished milk for $20 a visit.
There are already laws in place for seasonal farm workers. It’s a program that has been in place for decades.
Illegal is illegal – throw them the hell out.
I’m guessing that is exactly what President Trump is referring to, the guest worker program.
It’s stated in the Tweet. “They’ve worked for them for twenty years and they don’t have maybe what they’re supposed to have…”
Seems more like a paperwork issue more than anything. But, by the letter of the law, they are in fact considered illegal so it needs to be addressed.
I’m sure the Executive Order will shed some light on the details.
Please reconsider Aggiegirl. I have worked alongside legal native born migrant workers (I know, I know…the Tweet was about illegals) who come to Minnesota from Texas to pick peas and sweet corn. Out of a couple hundred co-workers, except for about three, this gringo saw that all of them were hard workers.
Because of abortion and the left deprogramming our kids that work is honorable, if they did NOT come up to Minnesota and other states, we would not have sweet corn or peas. Trump is right on this issue…they are good workers and most of these illegals coming to the California fields are not criminals.
The good illegal farm workers I grew up working with in SE Idaho in the early 90s all had Americanized and not so Americanized cousins and uncles involved with the hard drug trade, Sir. Every. Single. One of them.
I respect your perspective, Arminius. But there is an ugly reality lurking behind the silent, good natured smiles of the short brown crop handlers.
Certainly.
Remembering Mollie Tibbetts kidnapped and murdered by Bahena Rivera, a Mexican native who was working illegally in the U.S. at an Iowa farm.
https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/local/2024/07/18/what-to-know-about-the-life-death-of-uiowa-student-mollie-tibbetts-cristhian-bahena-rivera/74443139007/
But it is fundamentally wrong not to provide these people with “legality,” even if it is seasonal. They are people, and they have rights too. But, if they are “illegal,” those rights can be – and very often are – flagrantly abused.
If they then abuse the law, revoke their credentials and send them home. (Most will not.)
We should know who they are, where they are, what they are doing and under what working conditions. Issue them credentials, and periodically go out there to inspect so that employers know to abide. Because they are people, too. And people’s rights have to be protected or they don’t exist.
Not to be a smartass but isn’t corn harvested with a combine? I’m not a farmer but I have worked on my SIL’s cattle ranch. 🤣
“Cesario Estrada Chavez was an American labor leader and civil rights activist. Along with Dolores Huerta and lesser known Gilbert Padilla, he co-founded the National Farm Workers Association, which later merged with the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee to become the United Farm Workers labor union.”

JMO.
This is nothing more than the long standing “Temporary (nonimmigrant) workers visa …… In order for you to come to the United States lawfully as a nonimmigrant to work temporarily, your prospective employer must generally file a nonimmigrant petition on your behalf with USCIS1 ….. it has been in place for over a century.
The communist biden administration stopped processing and requiring the permits —- so some farmers have ended up with long term workers that need to have their papers approved.
In my opinion, President Trump is just saying they will correct what biden did and allow famers to resubmit their paperwork for long term workers.
He is not going to allow it to be a loophole for the nuevo, criminal illegals.
_____________________
Here is the history of the temporary worker visa:
“The history of foreign worker visas in the United States dates back to the early 20th century, when the country was experiencing a shortage of labor in certain industries.
In 1917, the U.S. government introduced the first temporary worker visa program, called the H-2 program, which allowed foreign workers to enter the country to work in agriculture.
Over the years, the U.S. government introduced other temporary worker visa programs, including the H-1 program for skilled workers in 1952, the L-1 program for intra-company transfers in 1970, and the 0-1 program for individuals with extraordinary abilities in 1990.
The Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986 also created the H-2A program for agricultural workers, and the H-2B program for non-agricultural seasonal workers.
They quit checking the temporary workers papers a long time ago.
If they are not going to check the paper, why bother getting it?
As you say, President Trump is just tiding things up a bit here.
Agree.
“Cesario Estrada Chavez was an American labor leader and civil rights activist. Along with Dolores Huerta and lesser known Gilbert Padilla, he co-founded the National Farm Workers Association, which later merged with the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee to become the United Farm Workers labor union.”

Not change of plans. Just a pragmatic approach.
Everything being accomplished is Pro-American. Start there and stay there and everything President Trump and crew do always makes sense.
A “one size fits all” approach to anything just ends up being “one size fits none”.
Similarly, with the tariffs on European autos, Howard Lutnick mentioned a while back that several thousand autos were going to be allowed to enter the U.S. tariff free to allow time for factories for those auto manufacturers in the US to come online.
Pragmatic approach. Common sense.
That’s what you get when you run the country like you would run your business.
“Trump will not find perfect solutions. He will find OPTIMAL solutions. We cannot ask for more.” – Sundance
Seems to me that farmers use to use legal migrant workers for farm work because “Americans won’t work those hard jobs for those wages .
Are we now at the point that “legal migrants won’t work those hard jobs for those wages” so we need illegal aliens to work those jobs”?
Americans have been “shut out” of these employment opportunities for a very long time. It is the “rice bowl.”
Those “workers” are supposed to have “papers.” They are seasonal farm workers, not “eat all you can on the government’s dime” pretend visas.
They bring their women 8.7 months pregnant..
And, according to my “truck farm” family members, that’s exactly what they do. They return to Mexico to live very well in the off season.
Yep, little different from my union carpenter summer job that both paid for college and walking around money the rest of the year. It was lucrative. I lived well. Some in the program collected unemployment, some didn’t. If we did, we had to show up every other week in person and be interviewed by a human about our job seeking efforts. Every 14 days, in person. And dollars to donuts we were all natural born U.S. citizens, myself of a first generation Russian-American.
I have my own opinion about the illegal thing since I worked with them in the fields back when Cesar Chavez was organizing in the valley in the 60’s and worked among them and developed machines that replaced them but that topic is pretty well-worn here. No sense in my beating a dead horse. I don’t miss the heat and smell and being a crime victim, at all.
I am ok with this on a temporary basis until they can get an agricultural guest worker system in place thru congress.

Depthcharge!
But this sort of contretemps is quite clearly Unconstitutional on its face. Like it or not, the President is “Commander-in-Chief,” and he can take charge of State Militias (Article 2, Section 2), according to procedures established by Congress (Article 1, Section 8). Immigration is placed under Congressional purview by that same Section. (Therefore, the Tenth Amendment expressly does not apply.)
This is not subject to “advise and consent” by any Court anywhere – in fact, Courts were never given that role at all, except that they assumed it to themselves.
Maybe the Appeals Court is trying to rein in a rogue Judge, but I doubt it. The entire legitimacy of the Court system in the eyes of the public has certainly been called into question by these hundreds(!) of “rulings.” Reform is coming, and possibly another Amendment or three.
Amen.
Report: Iran was preparing for a preemptive strike on Israel
https://nitter.poast.org/MOSSADil/status/1933386670432530657
Katz later said that most of the leadership of the IRGC Air Force was eliminated in a strike today in Iran. The top brass of the IRGC Air Force had convened at an underground command center when the strike was carried out, according to a statement issued by Katz’s office.
Over 20 senior commanders are believed to have been eliminated by this morning’s strike by the Israeli Air Force on an underground command bunker beneath the Headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) Aerospace Forces.

“An underground command bunker” is no defense against a modern ballistic missile if the enemy knows exactly where to fire it. It simply causes more targets to be concentrated in one place so they can be killed at the same time. Which apparently is exactly what happened here. The bunker’s location was not enough of a secret.
Sorry…don’t believe a word out of their (MOSSAD’s) mouths.

Assault on Islamic Republic’s nuclear program was product of years-long collaboration between IDF and intelligence agency, involved smuggling weapons systems into Iran on vehicles

Why a Judge’s Ruling Against Trump Deploying Federal Troops to LA Is Beyond Hilarious
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2025/06/12/judges-ruling-against-trump-deploying-federal-troops-to-la-is-beyond-hilarious-n2658731
His actions were illegal — both exceeding the scope of his statutory authority and violating the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution,” Judge Breyer wrote of Mr. Trump’s orders. The administration filed a quick appeal.
What’s illegal about enforcing law and order, judge? These forces weren’t engaging in police actions either but protecting federal buildings. These judges are out of control, but they’re going to be dealt with soon.
The President(!) has powers expressly granted by Article 2, Section 2 to call out State Militias or any other military forces, for whom he is Commander-in-Chief. The President may also engage any other Federal law enforcement authorities at his discretion. Article 1, Section 8 requires Congress to set the means of doing so. Which they have done – the Alien Enemies Act, the Insurrection Act, and so on and on. Likewise the Acts which created these law enforcement departments. Some of these are among the very first things that Congress ever did.
The Tenth Amendment, also, says that powers not reserved to the Federal government, or prohibited to the States, shall reside with the States. But, Article 1, Section 8 does reserve “Naturalization” to the Federal Congress. Therefore, it clearly does not apply here, and that Judge knows it if (s)he attended Law School. (Which, at this point, I doubt …)
Very plainly, “immigration” must be a National matter. Just as the States are not allowed to levy duties against one another, they are not allowed to set their own Immigration policies. (Shortly before the Civil War broke out, South Carolina tried …)
This “ruling,” therefore, can and should simply be ignored. While the Governor, the Mayor, and apparently this hapless Judge would have the people of Los Angeles to be defenseless, President Trump and Federal law enforcement do not. They are in the right, any “ruling” to the contrary notwithstanding.
I get the impression you have actually read the Constitution several times?
evil scum will do all they can to rob you of the joy of live……DON`T LET THEM

Smartmatic Accused Of Deleting Evidence In $2.7B Fox News Defamation Case: Court Docs
Jun 12, 2025
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/smartmatic-accused-deleting-evidence-27b-fox-news-defamation-case-court-docs
Executives at voting software firm Smartmatic ordered the deletion and doctoring of key evidence tied to the company’s $2.7 billion defamation case against Fox News, according to claims in a bombshell court filing made Wednesday in New York.
Just yesterday. Now dead.
Haha. No kidding.
He was %100 correct.
That didn’t age well! 🤣
Patriots can learn a lot from Israeli tactics. For now, though, we appear to absorb casualties and murders by the enemy without attack or retaliation, in general believing in the system of justice to right the wrongs and injustices perpetrated against us. I think that’s a fair assessment of what I read here.
Murder a peaceful, moral man and the earth pays little notice, even if a hero like the retired police captain whose picture I posted upthread.
Murder an evil man who ramrods death and destruction of many humans, either through personal violence or power and control, and many lives are saved and any of those saved could completely change the world for the better.
Let’s see if I spelled the name right….. Soleimani? How many human lives were directly saved or positively impacted by his murder? Another Iranian killed by government sanctioned murder. Ugly and repugnant but that is what life is, war, then one dies. I wish it were all sunshine and roses but it’s not; it’s struggle and conflict, pretty much every day and, for some, with death literally tugging at their elbow.
Sure it will buddy.
It may surprise many who never grew up on a farm that we’ve always had ‘guest worker’ permits. Those who ask who picked our beans or weeded our beet fields will be surprised that it was ‘Mexicans’ or migrants as we used to call them. In my area, bussed up from Mexico by the Great Western Sugar Co, delivered around the area to farmers who had contracted with it to provide work and lodging for however many they needed in their fields.
At the end of a specified time, GWS would pick them up and take them back to Mexico. No one ever complained or even thought of the bean pickers “taking jobs from Americans.” I even saw on Twitter someone demand that the government (I presume) teach students to work in the fields🤣 She’s what we used to call a city slicker. I guess as long as the students can get all the weeds pulled after school between 4 and 5pm before it gets dark, it’s workable.💋 Or perhaps we can get busloads of urbanites into the fields for months on end and “teach them” how to pull weeds.🤷🏾♀️
The key is: the Eleventh Commandment: ‘Thou shall not vote.’ Raid those persons. Chase them down. Meanwhile, we’ve got illegals rioting on our streets along with the usual Democrat criminals, yet we have ICE running through the bean furrows after the low hanging fruit.
This was not a well-thought-out process.
ILLEGAL is the key word. Approved guest workers with valid permits cannot and would not be deported unless they commit a crime.
Exactly. And if there aren’t sufficient visas permitted for the work, then increase. If the guest worker system has worked for decades, then I don’t understand the problem here. I do understand that if illegals are allowed to stay, even the gentle ones, then it increases the burden on the citizens and validates what FJB administration did (illegally).
True, but I am suspicious elements of ICE are purposefully going after politically sensitive targets to hurt PDJT and his efforts. Except for some lunatics, nobody complains about removing gang bangers, or people on gov’t dole. Those should be top priority, and other more subtle pressure such as cutting-off benefits, fining employers of illegals, plus enticements (free ride home!), can be used on others.
But to me, high-profile raids on ag-workers is really an attempt to undermine the whole effort. I would fire whoever is doing it.
Bingo.
Illegal is illegal. Trump wouldn’t be considering a carve out E.O. if they weren’t illegal.
Now, whats next? Construction? Office workers? Total amnesty?
This is a key Pillar Trump ran on. Let him know it is awful.

Trump will have your head spinning. Tariffs are on, tariffs are off. Tariffs are paused, tariffs are extended.
Illegals are illegal, some can stay, some can go.
On and on, day in and day out.
All I know is that this Big Beautiful Bill will result in the 4th largest deficit ever in the U.S.
On balance sheet debt of 37 trillion, increasing 2 trillion per year
Off balance sheet benefit program liabilities at 100 trillion, increasing 2 trillion per year.
Reagan was overwhelming elected and wanted to shrink government. His objective was derailed in a short 6 months.
“The Triumph of Politics: Why the Reagan Revolution Failed” David Stockman
This was not a well-thought-out process.
Perhaps we should have reapportioned ICE in order of priorities. Running through bean furrows would be low on my list. Here they are in NJ capitulating to demands of the mob. Respect is gained through overwhelming force.
If Trump was getting assistance instead of obstruction from sanctuary cities, he would be concentrating on criminals. Blame the Democrats. They never think long term.
What you state as farm workers is what I grew up to accept. They came, they worked hard, they got p paid and they went home. There seems to be a difference between a migrant farm worker and an illegal. Illegals come to drain our economy and send it back to Mexico while doing everything they can to hurt our way of living. The Grapes of Wrath was a good movie.
What if those illegals aren’t just illegals and have committed other serious crimes? What if those working the farms are also involved in human trafficking and the cartels? I bet there is way more to the story.
Has anyone confirmed that was an actual ICE raid?
It is indeed beyond horrifying, you doddering old fool, United States Senator Elizabeth Warren, falling for it!

Last night I attended a meeting with an outdoors group at a pub in a neighborhood of Portland Oregon. Culture shock for sure. There is no caricature of liberal that wasn’t seen and seen all over the place. Based upon Portland’s reputation, it was everything one would expect and then some.
As I got closer to Portland, the first thing I noticed was that there were no more American Flags to be seen.
The short walk from where I parked to the pub, I could see “no kings day” posters on the doors of cafes and small businesses, along with “there is no cash left in the registers overnight”.
There is no way a Republican can ever win in that town.
They have been building high density apartments in the small town near where I live. It will not be long before the cancer that is Portland will have destroyed this once unique and conservative small town.
At least they didn’t slip DMT in your beverage and Shanghai you to some auntiFA Re-Education Camp, RS..
Portland has a century long history of Shanghaiing and so you are not too far off. What may have saved me is that I don’t drink.
Aye,Sir.
