The Case for Sanctuary
Today, the term “ICE” saturates the news. Hundreds of thousands, if not more, people demonstrate across America with signs demanding that ICE stand down, leave their state, or be disbanded. We can’t a...

Interesting story on Sue Collins. She’s a senator (R) from Maine up for reelection. She is one of the MAGA faction that grumbles about Trump a lot but then usually votes as he orders her to. She may lose her re-election bid regardless of how she votes this week.

The Maine Republican is under immense pressure as a huge funding package hangs by a thread and federal agents swarm her state.

Let's not kid ourselves about any DJT peace initiatives to Minneapolis. The Department of Homeland Security faces a critical budget vote later this week &Trump needs to coax or beat recalcitrant republicans in Congress into voting to fund ICE. It's not that he is sad for the loss of innocent lives.

I saw where the American Nursing Association criticized the killing of Alex Pretti, who worked daily to help seriously injured or ill veterans. Has anyone read a post from the American Legion, VFW or DAV expressing their concern? Repost if you think they should.

So we’re supposed to believe that a Bolshevik ICU nurse intent on killing Americans pulled a gun on four agents who couldn’t pin him down. Who is it going to be tomorrow? A rogue librarian or kindergarten teacher?

There was a time when Americans could trust their federal government and believe what Washington said. Unfortunately, that day is long gone. Time to stand down in Minneapolis and let an investigation of all these shootings take place under the auspices of the state (Minnesota.)

A reminder that you cannot believe what POTUS says. He might be trying to spin the narrative to make himself look good or he may be confused. Check other sources such as the Telegraph, Reuters, etc.

Today is Steve Perry’s birthday. For many years he was the voice of the rock band Journey. He was one of the best performers in rock during the late seventies through the mid-nineties. Happy Birthday Steve from one of your biggest fans.

Trump decided abruptly today to drop tariffs over Greenland. Once again, he creates a crisis and then rescues us from it. If the world were your home, could you live with a roommate like this?

There are unconfirmed rumors that the Joint Chiefs and/or other senior commanders are refusing to cooperate in plans for the U.S. to invade Greenland. Thank God. But (God forbid) we ever have a coup in the next year, the blame will be on the republicans in Congress for their nonfeasance.

CORRECTION: Those news stories you read yesterday that report polling indicates Trump’s first year in office are a failure should note it is actually his FIFTH year in office. He doesn’t learn from his mistakes apparently.

The Republicans in the Senate are scratching their heads again about why Trump wants Greenland. As usual, they are missing the point. It’s not about national security or rare earths. It’s about his EGO and how he wants bragging rights about increasing the size of the U.S.

Trump’s ultimatum to Greenland is: “I’ll pay you or I’ll take you by force.” But what if Greenland was a woman?

Trump said earlier this week that as far as law goes, he is only constrained by his “morality”. But apparently his morality does not extend to the several million hungry, law-abiding patriotic Americans in those five states that Harris carried in 2024. Thank goodness for SDNY Judge Arun Subramanian

I watched the shooting video by ICE in Minnesota. The shooter placed himself in the path of the SUV. Unless he expected to physically wrestle the vehicle to a stop or he expected that the driver would swerve to miss him, his goal could only be to have a clean shot at the driver.
