ICE budget has increased nearly 5X with passage of the big terrible bill.
Their budget is now larger than FBI, and other federal law enforcement agencies combined.
What do you think they’re going to do when they run out of immigrants?
I have a pretty good idea…

If you see what is going on,
and you do nothing,
you are surely as guilty as those who commit the crimes.

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison.

Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

But too many of the slaves died in captivity. And so Columbus, desperate to pay back dividends to those who had in-vested, had to make good his promise to fill the ships with gold. In the province of Cicao on Haiti, where he and his men imagined huge gold fields to exist, they ordered all persons fourteen years or older to collect a certain quantity of gold every three months. When they brought it, they were given copper tokens to hang around their necks. Indians found without a copper token had their hands cut off and bled to death.
The Indians had been given an impossible task. The only gold around was bits of dust garnered from the streams. So they fled, were hunted down with dogs, and were killed.

After each six or eight months' work in the mines, which was the time required of each crew to dig enough gold for melting, up to a third of the men died.
While the men were sent many miles away to the mines, the wives remained to work the soil, forced into the excruciating job of digging and making thousands of hills for cassava plants.
Thus husbands and wives were together only once every eight or ten months and when they met they were so exhausted and depressed on both sides... they ceased to pro-create. As for the newly born, they died early because their mothers, overworked and fam-ished, had no milk to nurse them, and for this reason, while I was in Cuba, 7000 children died in three months. Some mothers even drowned their babies from sheer desper-ation.... In this way, husbands died in the mines, wives died at work, and children died from lack of milk ... and in a short time this land which was so great, so powerful and fer-tile... was depopulated... My eyes have seen these acts so foreign to human nature, and now I tremble as I write....

Trump calls for jailing Democratic leaders as troops prepare for Chicago deployment - www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...
Today, troops from the state of Texas are being deployed in Illinois against the governor’s wishes.
Historically speaking, this should give you chills.

Under Nazi rule, clergy who refused to support the regime were surveilled, arrested, assaulted, and in some cases, executed. The Nazis publicly aligned themselves with Christian values while targeting religious figures who defended the vulnerable or spoke against state violence.

I’m not from Portland, I’m not from Oregon. But I’ve been to Portland and it is one of the most beautiful and loving cities I’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting.
God, or whatever positive thought that you believe in, help them, and help us all.

Electing a moderate Democrat as president of the United States in the very next presidential election is not going to change the way things are now.
Our system of government has been compromised. It will take a radical change to reverse the damage that has been done.

Governor Whitmer was almost kidnapped by armed thugs. Governor Shapiro‘s house was set on fire. Nancy Pelosi‘s husband was violently attacked by someone looking for her. Melissa Hortman was assassinated in her home with her husband and dog…and now this. The left is the victim, not the perpetrator.
