Scroll down, he brags about Robert Redfield endorsing Trump. I guess it is a little surprising that someone who worked under Trump would still
endorse him, but:

It's the elderly, disabled, and poor who benefit from so-called ballot harvesting. Of course, they disproportionately vote Democratic. That, not fraud, is the problem.

Eric Adams spoke up about the establishment and is now paying the price.
DOJ only started investigating Adams in retaliation for his criticism of Biden's immigration policies. Many are saying it on Twitter.
Just unsealed. Charges include bribery, wire fraud, and soliciting illegal foreign contributions.
Coming soon from Adams:
"I was only kidding."
"It's my First Amendment rights."
"It was just locker room talk."
"Campaign contributions are people too."

Right, they’re all guilty of this shit but no one does anything about it until they piss off the wrong people. Thanks for proving my point.

No mention the guy is a right winger.

Bad news for ray’s claims about immigrant crime and the notion that Trump was being anti-immigrant when he said they weren't sending their best.

His 663,000 total includes those being detained.
Note also, these appear to be criminal records from their former countries. We don't know the context.
What this tells us is a couple things we already knew. ICE doesn't have sufficient detention facilities, and the immigration courts don't have enough Judges, etc..
A sizable part of the problem is due to Trump's zero tolerance policy of prosecuting simple unlawful entry as a crime. That made them eligible for trials, attorneys, etc.
Technically, simple unlawful entry has been a crime since 1929. However, it was previously treated like unlawful presence, as a civil offense, handled by administrative processes -- unless there were aggravating factors such as additional crimes.
Trump's policy created a back log, and diverted resources from actual serious criminals.
-
Perhaps the problem isn’t too few judges and detention facilities, but that we are letting too many people in and have been for way too long.
Interesting that this too is Trump’s fault, and not the administration who let an increasingly large stream pour across the border the last few years. Trump wanted to secure the border, and you guys were apoplectic about that. Now you’re mad he didn’t prosecute the people that came across the border that he wanted to stop in the first place?

The problem is that we are not prosecuting people with something to lose. Start giving massive fines and then detention to employers of illegals and the problem is gone. No work, no illegal workers. QED.
But we'd rather demonize immigrants, and give some lip service with partial walls and few border cops when the powers that be DO NOT WANT TO STOP THEM. And you fall for it every time.

I know context is a big word. Maybe this will help you out:
"the circumstances that form the setting for an event, statement, or idea, and in terms of which it can be fully understood and assessed."
I'm assuming the criminal records are from whatever shit-hole they emigrated from. We don't know the specific circumstances.
For example, we know, in this country, black men have been charged with assault for acting in self defense. We also know people have been convicted of murder that were later proven innocent. In some cases, they were framed by law enforcement.
Excuse me if I don't 100% trust criminal records from Venezuela.
For more perspective, we have a convicted felon running for President.
Do you understand the word perspective?
Hope that helps.

Why not just enforce our border like pretty much every other developed nation on the planet? No one is demonizing the illegals, they’re pissed that the powers that be are allowing this in the first place. And frankly you and Ray and alum and tempo seem to be in agreement with the powers that be, because all you ever do is argue for why it’s ok for them to be here.
-

I'd probability look at data from the state of Texas.to examine the criminality among undocumented immigrants in the U.S. Texas is one of the few states that logs immigration status in its arrest records.

It's more like who they are, where they are from, and why they are here. The ones we are talking about appear to be going through the legal due process to be removed, and there is no place to hold them.

"Republicans call Harris a failed border czar. The facts tell a different story."
Harris's job had to do with diplomatic relations with Central America, getting at the underlying causes of immigration to the US. It was not about the border itself.

Funny thing- this wasn’t happening under Trump. So apparently she failed at finding those “underlying causes” huh?! Those causes were still there though under Trump. Only one difference. I’ll let you figure out what that is…

I gather you didn't read the article. It doesn't address Trump, but suffice to say he kicked the can down the road.
Immigration from the Golden triangle was reduced, though I dunno how much actually difference Harris made.
There was a surge from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela and Nicaragua.

Yep, this many people were coming here under Trump 🙄 You’re fucking retarded if you think that. Again, there’s one MAJOR difference as to why they started coming here. I’ll let you admit what that was…

The immigrants are coming here for the same reasons they did when Trump was President. Better life, religious freedom and economic opportunity. Just like the Germans, Irish, Italians and Eastern Europeans before them.

I was talking about using the pejorative term retarded. I know a lot of gay people from my past association with a certain Buddhist group. Some are even Trumpers. None of them use pejoratives. It just struck me as off.
I am.not surprised that a gay person or black male would vote against their interest. Straight white people do it all the time. Why should gay people and black people be any different.

Will Trump be getting some black support? Of course, but for every black vote he gets, he’ll lose probably at least 4.

It’s hard telling. He usually outperforms the expectations of offended white people amongst minorities.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he has the highest black turnout for a Republican candidate in history…

If Trump can even breathe on 20% of the black vote it’ll be a massive windfall for him. 11-14% is realistic.

While I’ll take anything published by this far right website with a grain of salt, I’ve seen other reports indicating that government hiring is rebounding. This is good. A "retirement tsunami" took place in the local, state and federal government sectors between 2010 and 2020, with tens of thousands of employees deciding to clock out. Count me among those who decided to retire. It’s been a real challenge replacing the institutional knowledge and expertise that took decades to develop. Public agencies are just now catching up to their pre-2020 staffing levels.

No shit. Try and get any governmental agency to answer a damned phone these days. The Illinois Department of Labor at least answers the phone when you need to provide witness contact info for wage claim hearings. Other than that, good luck. Did not used to be that way.

There's a program that hot wires anyone who experiences a natural disaster 750 right away, with very little qualification, so that people have some cash to deal with basic immediate needs.
Down the line, there are bigger benefits based on your own damage levels.
When we had the Tubbs fire and a lot of people I knew fled their houses with their houses on fire, in the middle of the night, there wasn't really time to go digging around for your wallet. I found this out when I was at the gas station filling up in order to evacuate just because, and saw people who had fled the fire zone parked at the freeway offramp, out of gas and basically with nothing but the clothes on their backs - if that. 750 will get you a tank of gas, some clothes, some food, a hotel, etc.. and by the time you need more, there will be agencies settled in (the Sonoma County Fairgrounds was a one stop shop for a new license, passport, the banks were there issuing people new ATM and credit cards, etc...)
-
That's what I told her. It's immediate money for immediate needs. it's called Serious Needs Assistance. She still believes Trump. Is Trump lying or misinformed?
It appears the rebuilding assistance is capped by Congress at $42,500..I think that would be free money. There might also be low interest loans through HUD.
I would imagine local governments would get money for infrastructure and disaster mitigation..

Yes those $750 payments are for "immediate needs". Unfortunately, there is a lot of misinformation and conspiracies percolating on social media about the availability of government assistance for hurricane victims.

Yes they’re caused by climate change—but not as you know it.

Thanks for posting. It’s shit like this that pisses me off when people automatically attribute every weather phenomenon to climate change. Like Nichi saying the corn stalk fire was due to climate change. The fuck? The prairies have been burning since the glaciers retreated. Thankfully the earth has been warming since the Younger Dryas—which was a major extinction event and rendered much of where humans live now completely uninhabitable. Do humans have an impact? Of course. But technology is evolving and all the constant alarmism is ridiculous and counterproductive.
Then you’ve got guys like Tempo that say it’s settled science and 97% of climate experts agree…as if it’s not this massively complex thing that no one truly understands. There are a lot of trends and theories. Not a lot is settled. The earth is in a relatively cool period by all accounts. And you never hear any of how a slightly warmer planet could bring some positives, it’s always a doomsday scenario.

I don’t agree with the author’s premise. This issue was covered widely by the MSM and scientific publications over two years ago. And the aerosol link did not “get politely swept under the rug.” It is something that climate scientists are taking into consideration in their climate modeling studies.

Thanks for posting. It’s shit like this that pisses me off when people automatically attribute every weather phenomenon to climate change. Like Nichi saying the corn stalk fire was due to climate change. The fuck? The prairies have been burning since the glaciers retreated. Thankfully the earth has been warming since the Younger Dryas—which was a major extinction event and rendered much of where humans live now completely uninhabitable. Do humans have an impact? Of course. But technology is evolving and all the constant alarmism is ridiculous and counterproductive.
Then you’ve got guys like Tempo that say it’s settled science and 97% of climate experts agree…as if it’s not this massively complex thing that no one truly understands. There are a lot of trends and theories. Not a lot is settled. The earth is in a relatively cool period by all accounts. And you never hear any of how a slightly warmer planet could bring some positives, it’s always a doomsday scenario.

Whatever. After Helene, over 30% of insurance claims made by Florida residents were denied. These are people paying upwards of 10k per year for insurance, had their house destroyed, then got their claim denied.
This was more prevalent with homeowners who were insured with Citizens Insurance, the State of Florida's insurer of last resort.
A lot of those people will be getting religion real quick.

The amusing thing here is that you are falling into the trope that the climate just changes willy nilly, but the author claims that the change in hurricanes wasn't willy nilly, it was just a different human intervention.
-
It always happens for a reason. But the point I’m trying to make it that there’s a lot of grasping at straws going on, and the science is far from settled. I’ve never been fully convinced CO2 is the primary driver of warming. Obviously I’m not alone—there are a lot of differing viewpoints even amongst the informed.

Hahahahahahaha. 97% of climate scientists agree that humans are doing signicant long term damage to the plant, but “it’s so massively complex no one can understand it.” Talk about gaslighting…

We can’t trust SCIENCE and/or SCIENTISTS, folks…

Instead let’s rely on anecdotes and alternate theories.
-
The article cites actual scientists discussing alternate theories because the science isn’t settled. It’s multi layered and some of the things we’ve done to do good have caused problems elsewhere. It’s a good cautionary tale.
Also, who pays scientists? Are they just out there doing the work pro bono for the good of man?

I talked about this before. Back in the 1970s; there were two competing stories of human induced climate change -- global cooling driven by atmospheric stuff called aerosols and global warming driven by CO2.
The aerosols are not the stuff they used to put in spray cans that were destroying the Ozone layer.
These are particulates in the air made of pollutants from burning high sulfur coal, leaded gas, etc. Also dust and ash from volcanoes and droughts and so on ...
Besides global cooling, atmospheric aerosols caused acid rain, smog, burning rivers, and fish kill from water pollution and more.
Laws like Nixon's Clean Air and Water Acts cleaned up much of that mess.
This is not a return to the mean. It just means that aerosol driven cooling is no longer offsetting carbon dioxide driven global warming.
Climate scientists are discussing spraying the atmosphere to create aerosols as a sort of desperation measure to counter global warming.
-
'... Using climate models, we estimate that aerosols have masked about 50 percent of the warming that would otherwise have been caused by greenhouse gases trapping heat near the surface of the Earth..."

Unfortunately, I think a lot of people haven't really processed the fact that we lost the war. Over the nearly twenty years of US forces occupying Afghanistan, under four Presidents, around 2,400 US military personnel and 1,800 US civilian contractors were killed. The objectives of the war, the replacement of the Taliban government with a less repressive one that would suppress terrorist activities, and the capture or killing of al Qaeda leaders, were not achieved. That is what needs most to be remembered about Afghanistan.

The whole thing is, of course, a joke. Although you are forgiven for believing it’s real given the current state of conservative mass hysteria. Senator Bradford Blackmon is a Democrat who, according to a press release he shared on Instagram, confirmed that the bill was written in response to the Republican obsession with policing what women can and cannot do with their bodies.
His goal was to shift the scrutiny from women to men who dare to selfishly waste their precious genes via masturbation when it could be making a baby so God can be happy.

Nice try. I went to work for Cargill brokerage out of college which was 22 years ago now. One of the biggest soybean market movers back then was…the weather in Brazil.

We found that while those two dots — the U.S.-Chinese trade war and Amazon wildfires — can be connected, Delaney exaggerated the link.
Can be connected.
The reason Brazilian weather moves the market is because the weather in the Midwestern US doesn't have much variance, but the Brazilian weather does, so that weather moves the global yield on the margins.

You presented an argument that Trump’s tariffs created a permanent competitor in South America. I offered evidence that South America became a permanent competitor decades ago. This is indisputable.
They probably did clear more acreage to meet demand, but per SA authorities they would have done that anyways after regulations were relaxed—the land just went to soy instead of cattle.
Also where did the consistent midwestern weather come from? Thought we were in the throes of cataclysmic climate change? Just this past fall Ray suggested that a corn field fire was the result of climate change, nevermind the fact that the prairies have been burned both intentionally and unintentionally for millenia.

Nonsense, bunk.
You may want to read the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement that the Trump administration negotiated in 2018. Under that trade agreement, the vast majority of goods entering Canada from the U.S. have no tariffs – or at least, they didn't before the trade war.

Here’s a few things Trump said about the USMC agreement:
“Once approved by Congress, this new deal will be the most modern, up-to-date, and balanced trade agreement in the history of our country, with the most advanced protections for workers ever developed.”
“It’s an amazing deal for a lot of people.”
"[It] includes a substantial increase in our farmers’ opportunities to export American wheat, poultry, eggs, and dairy — including milk, butter, cheese, yogurt, and ice cream, to name a few.”
-
Those dairy tariffs only kick in if the US attempts to dump surpluses. That info has been readily available. I even posted it here. Try to keep up. OTOH, Canada has pulled some shit regarding how their quotas are implemented. More details:
Trump’s Misleading Claim on Canadian Dairy Tariffs
By Ben Cohen
Posted on April 1, 2025
To support his plan to increase tariffs, President Donald Trump has repeatedly said that the Canadian government charges U.S. farmers a 250% or 270% tariff on dairy products exported to Canada. That’s misleading. There are rates that high on the books, but they would only be charged if U.S. exports exceed predetermined tariff rate quotas, which the dairy exports don’t come close to meeting.
currently allocates 85%–100% of the TRQs to domestic processors on a market-share basis, depending on the type of dairy product. As a result, the processors mostly import dairy products that must undergo additional processing before they are ready for retail sale.”
In December 2021, a USMCA dispute settlement panel ruled in favor of the U.S. dairy industry on this matter. After Canada subsequently implemented changes, another ruling by a USMCA panel in November 2023 found that the nation’s updated policies were permissible under the trade agreement and could continue. The IDFA and some lawmakers maintain that Canada continues to violate the USMCA through its dairy policies.
Ultimately, the economists writing for the University of California publication concluded that the U.S. dairy industry’s concerns regarding violations of the USMCA have little real-world effect on the American dairy industry. “If Canada were to change their TRQ allocation system to fully align with the petition from the United States, not much would change regarding the makeup of Canadian dairy imports,” they wrote.

The Cynical, Gullible American Man
Many Americans believe that vaccines are unsafe, but will jab themselves full of performance enhancers. They think seed oils cause chronic disease, but beef tallow is healthy. They’ll say you can’t trust federally insured banks, but you can trust the millionaires who want you to invest in their volatile vaporware crypto tokens. They think food additives are toxic but support an administration removing all restrictions on pumping pollutants into air and water. They’ll insist that you can’t trust scientists, because they’re part of the conspiracy. The podcaster selling you his special creatine gummies, though? He seems trustworthy.
The cynicism is highly selective: Gullicists see everyone’s hidden motives—except when they don’t. They are able to reject any claim rooted in actual evidence—whether in science, politics, or history—while embracing the most breathtakingly absurd assertions on the same topics. Indeed, documentation is often taken as further evidence of conspiracy, while assertion (that this or that will “detoxify” your blood or that COVID deaths were exaggerated) is taken as gospel.

Jeez, tale as old as time, and certainly not limited to the right leaning male they’re intent on skewering here. The list of suppositions is verrrrry lengthy and absurd, to boot. But I bet it makes compelling reading for liberal urban (and suburbs, such as Itasca) incels!

I absolutely feel for the women of Iran. I’m willing to bet only one of us wrote a paper at the U of I about 20th century Iran, and I’m willing to bet only one of us has read this book. It’s one of my favorite reads by the way.

Ms Custard is from a mostly liberal family. She considers herself a “policy person, not a politics person.” Has an Econ degree and works in commercial lending. She describes most of the guys she works with at the bank HQ as “whiny bitches that act like women” so maybe she’s a chauvinist too?
Most women don’t want a “nice guy ally” and way more women than you’d think appreciate a traditional take charge type man. In daily life and in the bedroom. Younger millennials and Gen Z women especially, because most of the guys their age are too fat and too busy playing video games to date and fuck. I bet 97 would confirm.

JUST IN: Brentwood Police say 'Reacher' star Alan Ritchson acted in self-defense, say no charges will be filed.
The development comes as new footage appears to show Ritchson's neighbor blocking the road while he was on his motorcycle.
"After reviewing available evidence, including video footage and witness statements, authorities determined that no criminal charges will be pursued," said the Brentwood Police Department.
"Mr. Ritchson’s actions were found to be in self-defense."
"Although a potential reckless endangerment charge was considered, Mr. Ritchson declined to pursue charges."
The case has been closed.
