I just watched the 60 Minutes CECOT segment. The last time the United States was connected to torture of individuals and systemic prison abuse of this level was Abu Ghraib. Border crossings may be down, but the end doesn’t justify the means. Someone will eventually be held accountable.

ICE...in its current form...is not a "law enforcement agency" that should exist in any country on earth. Everything about the way they are operating is light-years away from being consistent with what this country is about. We have seen evidence that many of the people employed by ICE are bad news.

This is the current price at Harris Teeter. Last time I bought it was before the tariffs went into effect and I paid $11.99. No mater how hard we try, coffee cant be grown in the U.S.
As for Folgers Half Caff coffee 22.6 ounces price of 20.49

“When Congress passed the Smoot-Hawley tariff in 1930, we were told that it would protect America from foreign competition and save jobs in this country—the same line we hear today. The actual result was the Great Depression.” –Ronald Reagan (1988)

I started posting these on July 4 last year. Lots of other people did, too. We tried to warn of what would happen. Now, Federal oversight and funding of special education for those children with challenges no longer exists.

Federal education policy and the Department of Education should be eliminated.

Something folks are missing here: this raid wasn’t about “illegals taking American jobs.” It was about ICE storming the Hyundai–LG battery plant in Georgia, part of a $7.6B Metaplant project that isn’t even operational yet. 🧵

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Walk through any cemetery and you'll see a marked reduction in the number of children's headstones beginning around the 1960's. Why? VACCINES!

Two of the chief complaints in the Declaration of Independence were about the King unilaterally setting tariffs and stationing soldiers in American cities to prevent crime and quell protests. That every American doesn’t know this is another example of the utter failure of our education system.

High though his titles, proud his name, Boundless his wealth as wish can claim;  Despite those titles, power, and pelf,  The wretch, concentred all in self,  Living, shall forfeit fair renown,  And, doubly dying, shall go down  To the vile dust from whence he sprung,  Unwept, unhonour'd, and unsung.
-Walter Scott, novelist and poet (15 Aug 1771-1832)

The reason we put high-fructose corn syrup in Coke here in America is to support American corn farmers. You know... farmers in red states that Trump won.
Trump can force Coca-Cola to import sugar cane from the tropics to put in our soda, but that then hurts American farmers and helps farmers in Mexico and Brazil.
This is the opposite of America First politics but whatever. Trump is desperate to distract you from Jeffrey Epstein.

I have been speaking to Coca-Cola about using
REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so. l'd like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola. This will be a very good move by them — You'll see. It's just better!

For those wondering why Biden didn’t release the Epstein files.

• 1. With a quick Google search you can find that the records/list was sealed by a Judge until after Maxwell's trial. They were not unsealed until January
2024. 2. Biden unlike Trump did not have to control everything & everyone around him, so he was letting the DOJ do their job. 3. No Democrat ran on a platform stating they would release the Epstein files.
Is that reasonable enough.

Let's not forget that in 2022 Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, withdrew from public life and renounced his royal titles and stipends due to his entanglement in the Epstein Files. Why would he do that if those files didn't really exist?

The denial of due process by ICE is resulting in US citizens being denied constitutional rights. Dr. Jonathan Caravello was detained during the #Camarillo raids. His lawyer and fellow faculty members have been unable to find him. He is one of many U.S. citizens detained. THIS HAS TO STOP!

English Nursery Rhyme

They hang the man and flog the woman
That steal the goose from off the common,
But the greater villain loose
That steals the common from the goose. 

The law demands that we atone
When we take things we do not own. 
But leaves the lords and ladies fine
Who takes the things that are yours and mine. 

- circa 1764

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence.
