Look, I think there are reasons to question this ICE tactic of arresting people who are going to immigration court. I don’t think you’re promoting public safety by doing it. These are people already in the system. It’s just a way to rack up some quick arrest numbers. But that doesn’t give you a right to go impede federal agents who are making an arrest. They don’t need a judicial warrant to make an arrest in a public space like the immigration courthouse. At the end of the day, this was just a publicity stunt.”..."

Source: townhall.comSnippet of Article: "...This, unfortunately, has become business as usual in our government, and it’s become abundantly evident to all but the most extreme leftists over the last year. America is not meant to be run like this, by an unelected shadow government driven by self-enrichment. It’s meant to be run by a government of and for the people.
The USAID situation is appalling, but I’m afraid it’s only the tip of the iceberg, and it’s a perfect example of the entrenched swamp that President Trump was elected to drain.
This means that our policies must be designed to create freedom and opportunity for American citizens—not to create a vast slush fund for big government bureaucrats to enforce their own vision for the country and reward their minions. ...While the obscene levels of waste, fraud, and abuse DOGE uncovered that USAID has been engaged in for decades have mostly fallen from media coverage lately, more evidence of the corruption continues to pile up. ..."

“We’re not looking for a cease-fire, I didn’t say it was going to be a cease-fire,” Trump told Collins.
The reporter then asked if there is “any guarantee” that a US bomb would be able to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities should the country get involved... .

The new instructions were shared in an 11 a.m. call to representatives from 30 field offices across the country. ..."

According to new data from the Commerce Department, in-store sales dipped 0.9 percent last month — a 0.2 percent steeper slide than economists had forecast. It followed a downwardly revised 0.1 percent decline in April. ..."
Snippet of Article: "...In military and law enforcement slang, “86” is commonly understood to mean “eliminate” or “get rid of.” Combined with “47,” referencing Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States, the phrase takes on a darker meaning. For someone with Comey’s background in intelligence and counterterrorism, the coded implication felt deliberate. “86 47” reads like a call to action against Trump. ..."

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to correct the crisis created by the Biden administration. Caving to the demands of farmers and hoteliers doesn’t just undermine that goal — it sends a signal to activists and rioters that America’s sovereignty is up for negotiation.
But sovereignty is nonnegotiable. America exists to serve its citizens — not foreign nationals and not the preferences of politically connected industries. A government that does not prioritize the interests of Americans is a government that has lost its purpose. No nation can preserve its sovereignty — or its identity — while permitting mass migration on the scale we’ve witnessed. ..."
Title: Trump's Biat and Switch
So Trump campaigned on two big promises. One was illegal immigration and the other was exempting seniors from paying taxes on Social Security pensions. He already broke his promise to seniors who voted for the greatly needed 'no taxes on Social Security' with lame excuses. Now, he is renegeing on his number one promise to deport illegals that entered the country illegally, originally calling them criminals. Now he is going to reward corporates farms, the hospitality industry, chicken processors, construction companies and more. He is rewarding these corporations, companies, and businesses who illegally hired these illegals by allowing them to retain the illegal criminals who stole jobs from American citizens, and promising to make the illegal criminals citizens. He is proving to be nothing but exactly what the Democrats are. He is proving to be nothing but a shyster car salesman pulling a bait and switch on those that voted for him. Our guess is that his businesses have also employed illegals and is helping himslf as well. He is also insulting all of law enforcement, the National guard and military that have supported him through the violent riots, as well as being doxed by simply supporting the eradication of these illegals. This is just disgusting to be duped by Trump and the Republicans that permit this. At least he has convinced citizens that have worked hard and followed the law, that crime does pay. Thanks for embarrassing and making fools of us all that are trying to raise our children to be good people and follow the law you sorry POS!. It's a whole lot more difficult to follow the law than to be a criminal. Thanks for setting the example for a changed America. Thanks for bankrupting senors in retirement and abandoning veterans and all America loving citizens. NOTE: If the media reporting of Trump's change is false, we retract our comments. However, due to the fact he lied on his Social Security Tax promise, we feel the turn-around is probably true.
