Trump demoted Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino. One down. Many coming.
One racist degenerate is gone. It’s a bare scratch in surface of what needs to happen.
The White House will deny what happened. But the fact is Bovino presided over two murders, and he has been removed from command.
Tonight in Your Rights: TACO Monday
Yesterday, Adam Klasfeld for All Rise News commented Tonight in Your Rights: TACO Monday
This afternoon, multiple news outlets reported that soon-to-be-former Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino would be leaving the state with many of the agents under his command. Bovino reportedly will return to his previous job as a sector chief for El Centro, Calif., after being the face of two unpopular operations in Chicago and the Twin Cities. During his brief tenure, one federal judge in Chicago declared in open court and in a written opinion that Bovino “lied” in a sworn deposition.
In his absence, so-called Border Patrol czar Tom Homan traveled to Minnesota to give Operation Metro Surge a more professional gloss. Unimpressed social media users got the word “Cava” trending on Elon Musk’s X, a reference to the restaurant brand on the paper bag of his $50,000 payoff from undercover FBI agents.
Having been forced out of the Eastern District of Virginia, ex-Trump lawyer turned fake U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan is leaving the Justice Department altogether, according to NBC News.
The Third Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the Justice Department’s application to review the disqualification of Trump’s ex-lawyer turned U.S. Attorney Alina Habba before the full bench. The Supreme Court would be the next stop if the Justice Department wants to take it further.
Trump’s Justice Department also withdrew a pending application for the chief judge of the District of Minnesota to pursue arrest warrants for five more people tied to the recent St. Paul church protest, including independent journalist Don Lemon.
Chief U.S. District Judge Patrick Schiltz, a George W. Bush appointee, doubted prosecutors had a case against the former CNN host, writing of Lemon and his producer on Saturday: “There is no evidence that those two engaged in any criminal behavior or conspired to do so.”
The Justice Department may also have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in a longshot case by the state of Minnesota and the Twin Cities to declare the ICE surge unlawful under the 10th Amendment.
Legal experts doubted a federal judge overseen by the conservative Eighth Circuit had the power to take such an unprecedented action, but Attorney General Pam Bondi’s letter demanding three policy changes from the state led a federal judge to ask whether the federal government was engaging in a “quid pro quo,” potentially implicating the anti-commandeering doctrine.
U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez, a Joe Biden appointee, seems reluctant to take that opening because the Eighth Circuit paused a much more modest order to prevent civil rights abuses against peaceful protesters. A three-judge panel found today the government was “likely to succeed on the merits” of its appeal.
Even if Judge Menendez doesn’t end the surge, Trump’s Department of Homeland Security appears to be winding things down on their own amid friendly fire from conservative allies. The Wall Street Journal editorial board called for a pause in immigration operations. Second Amendment groups denounced Trump officials for justifying Alex Pretti’s execution-style shooting on his lawfully carrying a firearm.
Even MAGA podcaster Tim Pool rejected the White House rhetoric blaming Pretti: “I don’t see Trump winning this one.”
In the face of enormous protests, internal mutiny, and mounting legal defeats, Trump appears to be cutting his losses under pressure.

Racist Liar Kristi Noem
Inside The Trump Administration’s Growing Divide Over Mass Deportation Raids
The Daily Wires looks Inside The Trump Administration’s Growing Divide Over Mass Deportation Raids
The dividing lines have been drawn: on one side, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino, and Corey Lewandowski, a top Trump adviser and temporary government employee. On the other side are Border Czar Tom Homan and acting ICE Director Todd Lyons.
Noem’s camp is focused on aggressive and showy tactics — fiery press conferences and Bovino marching through town with a squad of Border Patrol agents in tow — and is fixated on increasing arrest numbers. Homan’s side, however, is focused on the quality of arrests and getting the worst criminals off the streets, which they feel is a job best suited for ICE.
In a press conference after the shooting, Noem asserted that Pretti was a “domestic terrorist” who appeared to have shown up “to inflict maximum damage on individuals and to kill law enforcement.” Noem’s claims were met with scorn by Democrats and Republicans alike.
Officials inside Noem’s own department slammed her rush to judgment, sources told The Daily Wire.
“It was a horrible response,” said one official. “Many people I’ve heard from say it was unprofessional. She doesn’t know what she’s doing.”
“The people in DHS are frustrated with Secretary Noem and the way DHS is handling the media,” the official added. “The employees want a more professional response, not memes and one-liners.”
North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis was among the growing number of congressional Republicans to condemn Noem, writing on X, “any administration official who rushes to judgment and tries to shut down an investigation before it begins are doing an incredible disservice to the nation and to President Trump’s legacy.”
Texas Senator Ted Cruz even offered some advice to the Trump administration, saying they need to “be more measured” in their response.
“People who have no business being in charge in law enforcement operations at DHS f***ed up,” said a source, adding that “there’s a lot of us in the patrol that aren’t happy with how things have been handled.”
“Secretary Noem will continue to lead the Department of Homeland Security with the full trust and confidence of the president,” Leavitt told Reuters Monday. “Tom Homan is uniquely positioned to drop everything and focus solely on Minnesota to solve the problems that have been created by the lack of cooperation from state and local officials.”
Homan’s approach is to have ICE make arrests of the worst of the worst illegal immigrant criminals, while Noem and Bovino care more about increasing numbers and putting on a show of force, sources said. Border Patrol isn’t as equipped to operate in urban areas and is used to functioning on the border, where they’re mostly nabbing illegal border crossers and busting smuggling operations.
“Noem lost control and never knew what she was doing,” one source told The Daily Wire. “She hated Homan because he reminded her daily that she knew nothing about law enforcement operations and that pissed her off.”
Another source said “the internal strife between Homan and Noem” has led to “issues between the enforcement and reporting.”
“She wants numbers, and this makes the heads of the components do anything to get those numbers. Homan is about enforcement, but not at any cost,” the source added.
“I don’t think Border Patrol should be here, let ICE do their thing.”
The #1 and #2 racists in the Administration are Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem.
Q: Why did Trump appoint Noem?
A: Because she is a racist, bootlicking, sycophant, silly.
The architects of the Minnesota murders are Miller and Noem.
Let’s Review Some Facts
The Wall Street Journal Editorial board discusses Mass Deportation by the Numbers
Last week Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem posted on social media, “We have arrested over 10,000 criminal illegal aliens who were killing Americans, hurting children and reigning terror in Minneapolis.” Overall, Ms. Noem says Immigration and Customs Enforcement has removed “murderers, pedophiles, rapists, gang members, and terrorists.” She told CBS that “70% of them have committed or have charges against them on violent crimes.”
It started out that way. At the beginning of 2025, 87% of ICE arrests were immigrants with either a prior conviction or a criminal charge pending, according to ICE data obtained by the Deportation Data Project. Only 13% of those arrested at the beginning of 2025 didn’t have either a conviction or a pending charge.
But the criminal share of apprehensions has declined as the months have gone on. By October 2025, the percentage of arrested immigrants with a prior conviction or criminal charge had fallen to 55%. Since October, 73% taken into ICE custody had no criminal conviction and only 5% had a violent criminal conviction, according to a Cato Institute review of ICE data.
Many of the criminal immigrants the Administration counts among those in detention are convicted criminals culled from prisons. White House border czar Tom Homan objected to Minneapolis’s sanctuary city policy because he said it wasn’t letting the Administration take prisoners into federal custody. “If they’d let us in their damn jail,” he said, “we could arrest the bad guy in the safety and security of the jail.”
Syracuse professor Austin Kocher, who tracks official ICE data, finds that between Sept. 21, 2025, and Jan. 7, 2026, single-day ICE detentions increased 11,296. But only 902 of those were convicted criminals, 2,273 had pending criminal charges and 8,121 were other immigrant violators. ICE arrests have been trending upward since January 2025, but criminal arrests have plateaued.
All of which means that the Trump Administration’s rhetoric about deporting criminals doesn’t match its current much broader policy of mass deportation. As ICE agents target businesses, schools and homes, scenes of arrest involving mothers, children and long-time U.S. residents become more common. This explains why immigration enforcement is becoming a political liability for Republicans.
Ending migrant chaos at the border was necessary after the Biden Administration. But White House aide Stephen Miller’s undisciplined mass deportation and zero-immigration policy is building distrust, and the White House pitch that public safety justifies its enforcement is losing credibility. [Mish correction, credibility, if any, left six months ago].
Risk of a Partial Government Shutdown This Weekend Is Rising.
Also note Risk of a Partial Government Shutdown This Weekend Is Rising. Here’s Why.
Congress is running out of time to pass a sprawling appropriations package before current funding for much of the federal government expires at 12:01 a.m. ET on Saturday. Senate Democrats said they won’t support the bill without changes to the provisions regarding the Department of Homeland Security, raising the risk of a partial government shutdown this weekend.
What’s in the broader funding package?
The Senate needs to pass the remaining six of the 12 annual appropriations bills, which will keep the government open through September; the other six have already been signed into law by President Trump. The package covers roughly $1.3 trillion in discretionary spending, including funding for the Pentagon, the departments of Health and Human Services and Labor, as well as $64 billion for DHS—pairing Republican and Democratic priorities into a single vote.
Notably, the DHS funding includes $18.3 billion for Customs and Border Protection and $10 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and money for the Coast Guard, airport security and Federal Emergency Management Agency.
What triggered the standoff?
The Republican-controlled House finished passing the half-dozen bills last week and bundled them together for the Senate to pass in one measure. Republicans have a 53-47 majority in the Senate, but need 60 votes to advance the bill due to Senate rules. Heading into the weekend, few Senate Democrats had any appetite for another shutdown and some were expected to provide the needed votes to approve the package and send it to Trump’s desk before the Jan. 31 deadline.
But the deadly shooting in Minneapolis of a 37-year-old man by a U.S. Border Patrol agent on Saturday prompted widespread protests and renewed scrutiny of the Trump administration’s immigration-enforcement tactics. In the wake of the shooting, Senate Democrats said they couldn’t back the DHS funding provisions without significant new restrictions and oversight written into the legislation. Significantly, even the Democrats who voted to end last year’s record-long spending lapse have signaled they will risk a new shutdown to force changes to the bill.
What are Democrats demanding?
Democrats want the DHS funding bill split off from the broader package so Congress can pass the other five spending measures while rewriting the homeland-security provisions. They are pushing for constraints on immigration enforcement, increased oversight of DHS operations and limits on the use of federal agents in cities such as Minneapolis.
I have not seen a shutdown succeed at much of anything, but this one has a chance.
The nation is sick of ICE, ICE murders, Gestapo tactics, Nazi slogans, and quite frankly Trump.
Saturday Rewind: A Lemon of a Case
Trump DOJ’s latest attack on a free press collapsed again.
Please consider the All Rise report Saturday Rewind: A Lemon of a Case
Since a judge rejected a criminal complaint against independent journalist Don Lemon on Thursday, the highest levels of the Justice Department have been scrambling to reverse that decision.
Newly unsealed documents reveal that Pam Bondi, Todd Blanche, and their subordinates have been rebuffed at every turn.
On Friday, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals secretly denied Attorney General Pam Bondi’s attempts to immediately issue arrest warrants against five people. The government charged three organizers of the Cities Church protest from Sunday, Jan. 18, but judges refused to sign the remaining five warrants.
Without mentioning the former CNN anchor’s name, the documents refer to the Justice Department’s attempts to prosecute a “journalist and his producer” reporting on a protest.
After U.S. Magistrate Judge Douglas L. Micko rejected charging Lemon on Thursday, the Justice Department filed an emergency petition for a writ of mandamus. The three-judge panel unanimously rejected the gambit, two of the members without any comment.
U.S. Circuit Judge L. Steven Grasz, a Trump appointee rated “not qualified” by the American Bar Association, opined that there was “clearly probable cause” for the warrant but that relief was procedurally improper.
The District of Minnesota’s Chief Judge Patrick Schiltz, a George W. Bush appointee, panned the government’s maneuver as “frivolous.” Schiltz revealed that he plans to make a decision about the remaining five warrants on Tuesday, but that he sees no basis to charge Lemon or his producer.
Another Trump team fiasco by Pam Bondi is about to go up in flames.
And if Trump is stupid enough to insist on prosecuting Jack Smith, the DOJ will lose that case too.
I look for the day when Pam Bondi is fired by Trump for losing cases that should never have seen the light of day in the first place.
Do Something Bitch
Who will be gone first? Bondi or Noem?
This has been an excellent week, and it’s only Tuesday. Hopefully, Trump sends J.D. Vance to Minneapolis where he can make another idiotic speech defending ICE and attacking Pretti.
Things are blowing up for the Administration on multiple fronts simultaneously. Everyone in their right mind should be pleased.

I appreciate your rational coverage of this issue. I don’t always agree with your takes but I find them well thought out.
May we all end up in a better and more peaceful place.
If he lied in a deposition why is this vile POS not being charged with perjury.
Thank you, Mish.
My neighborhood HOA President, US Army veteran, MAGA to the core guy, just put a F**k Trump sign in front of his house. An ominous sign for the late, great GOP.
are you joking? or serious.
I’ll take things that never happened for $800.
Trump claims millions of illegals are committing crimes. Ice has to find millions of criminals.
Jack smith has been nice and not mentioned the specs of the cases. It would be interesting if they started to ask him the details of why he had a case against trump.
haha, Jack’s had plenty of opportunity to speak. he’s dug himself a deep hole.
Jack Smith is literally under a gag order from Eileen Cannon on the entire secret documents theft case. He’s not even allowed to speak on the matter. So, not even close there, bootlicker
lol, you’ll believe everything you’re told, even when your eyes tell you otherwise. You’re a good boy. Have a scooby snack. And definitely don’t watch Jack’s recent congressional testimony. He’s cooked.
You’re dumb, that’s your problem. You get called out on saying something wrong, and instead of learning from it, you double down. That’s just plain stupid. Also the whole chickenshit bootlicker thing, but dumb, too.
Ok phil, just don’t watch the testimony.
You wish….
Watch his congressional testimony. Toast.
Jack Smith has said he will let his report speak for himself but Trump’s hand picked judge is sitting on the second half of the report.
I have noticed a new MAGA war-cry. Submit, submit, do not resist. It reminded me of that great MAGA horseman riding through Boston yelling – the British are coming, submit, submit, do not resist. And his great speech to the Minutemen. This is a peaceful protest, leave your guns at home – or you will be executed. But above all don’t forget – we must submit to these legally appointed law enforcers sent by the Crown.
There are many other historical examples…
Are those the voices in your head speaking to you?
Are you a chickenshit bootlicker?
triggered!
Imagine if the colonialists in 1770 had been groveling cowards like you! Oh wait, some of them were… they were called Tories and they all slunk away into the shadows when we kicked the British out!
cry more.
idiot
I love it that many make the assumption that Trump is qualified to do the job! He’s a clown performer that just reacts to his last emotion. Its occums razor: he makes a mess because he’s completely incompetent.
Throughout history, the wheels come off when the majority mindset shifts to being dependent on collective resources. Socialism (collective resourcing) is a noble idea but always ends in tears because individuals have individual goals and ideas. Even most “conservatives” are now asshats that just talk their book.
Finding the balance between individual and collective action is the genius of the constitution, but it requires an educated and self sufficient citizenry. All americans do now is wait for the latest budget from the government and then figure out how to get a piece. So everyone gets paid off through the government debt ultimately and very few stick to principle. Same goes with the disgusting financialization of everything on wall st. Courtesy of the ultimate govt money bag, the Fed
Whether right or left, blue or red, brown or white, etc. we have become a bunch of entitled, ignorant brats arguing over a shrinking pie (in real terms). Everyone wants money and is willing to compromise principle. Thats how civilaztions deteriorate.
I keep hoping to see some evidence to the contrary of what i describe. But look in the mirror; Trump is the symptom, this is who we’ve become and we need to get real
This applies to everyone, stop hiding behind your tribe’s talking points and think
100% correct. an evil empire that the people keep voting for. since at least 1898. hat tip Plato and boys in Republic . the fault is with the 98% of amerikans that keep voting uniparty, and never even protest against our slaughter of millions of innocent humans around the globe. hard for old people north or 25 or 30 to change their minds…….
Indeed. so I ask again…. does this mean we can get back to the business of rooting out the Somali Learing Center fraud in Minneapolis?
Maybe let’s start with White House corruption and fraud.
Sure, let’s do it all. You’re up for that, right? So when they’re hauling away the politicians on that Signal list, you’ll be cool with that, right?
Anyone wanna guess which 2 MAGA morons downvoted you….I’ll guess bcc and realityczech. They really are a pain in the a*s. Endless one liners signifying nothing.

US Weighs Precision Strikes On Iranian Officials As Govt Is ‘Weakest’ Since 1979

look, USA (=isr11ael) wants another war in middle east!!
keep on screaming!
alx
Don’t worry, they’re “precision” strikes. Hardly anyone will get killed. (80-100 died while they were kidnapping Maduro.) It’s appropriate to pay attention when federal agents kill people in the US, but you’re right that many more lives hang in the balance over foreign policy / military issues. The threat of Trump starting a war with Iran is still there. Also, the New Start Treaty (extended for a year by Biden) expires on Feb 5. Russia has been pleading to extend it, and Trump has ignored them – or may be unaware. There are plenty of insane people – like Pompeo and Rubio – in DC who would love to kick off a newer, bigger nuclear arms race with Russia.
Questions: How many stupid things can trump and company come up with to keep Epstein files out of the minds of the people? How long will it take before Epstein is forgotten? Do you think they have people working on that problem? Will trump and company try to kill everyone who opposes them in the end? When trump realizes he is done will he try to take the world with him? Just how fucking crazy is this asshole?
He is not crazy, just a sociopath, as are most humans in high positions.
Ever see “Don’t Look Up!”?
In a significant victory for the Trump Administration, a panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit lifted the injunction of U.S. District Judge Katherin Menendez, who prevented officers from arresting, detaining, pepper-spraying or retaliating against protesters in Minneapolis without probable cause.
In her Jan. 16 decision, Judge Menendez (a Biden appointee and former public defender) ruled in favor of the protesters suing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ICE. She found the plaintiffs were likely to succeed on claims that federal agents violated their First and Fourth Amendment rights.
The Eighth Circuit first flagged how Menendez ignored the fact that the record shows a wide range of conduct raising different conditions for law enforcement:
“We accessed and viewed the same videos the district court did. … What they show is observers and protestors engaging in a wide range of conduct, some of it peaceful but much of it not. They also show federal agents responding in various ways. Even the named plaintiffs’ claims involve different conduct, by different officers, at different times, in different places, in response to different behavior. These differences mean that there are no “questions of law or fact common to the class,” Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(a)(2), that would allow the court to decide all their claims in “one stroke.”
The panel also found Judge Menendez’s order unacceptably vague:
“Second, in addition to being too broad, the injunction is too vague.
…Even the provision that singles out the use of “pepper-spray or similar nonlethal munitions and crowd dispersal tools” requires federal agents to predict what the district court would consider “peaceful and unobstructive protest activity.” The videos underscore how difficult it would be for them to decide who has crossed the line: they show a fast-changing mix of peaceful and obstructive conduct, with many protestors getting in officers’ faces and blocking their vehicles as they conduct their activities, only for some of them to then rejoin the crowd and intermix with others who were merely recording and observing the scene.”
The panel found that Judge Menendez’s order left federal authorities in a dangerous position of not knowing when they could use these crowd control measures: “to the extent the injunction’s breadth and vagueness cause federal agents to hesitate in performing their lawful duties, it threatens to irreparably harm the government and undermine the public interest.”
Notably, Judge Menendez is the same judge reviewing an even more sweeping motion for an injunction to enjoin ICE operations, a filing from Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison that I have criticized as constitutionally meritless.
They may be meritless – but the fact that they were filed at all should be of great concern.
Taco always chickens out supporting his moniker of TACO. Worst “leader” of all time but the economy is able to work through his incompetence and derangement.
Usually when he “chickens out” it’s a good thing.
I think you’re giving him too much credit for trying to do the right thing.
By moving bovino he’s defusing the situation. He’s removed the lightning rod of that person on the ground. It gives the impression that he’s doing something about it. He is only trying to pull the curtain tighter around who’s left.
Everyone in his administration is expendable. Their only hope is to kiss his ass long enough to get the pardon they will need to stay out of prison. I don’t think Noem will get one based solely on his views of women. I could be wrong but his character says I’ll be right.
Trump would treat her better if she were younger.
Yeah 1000% younger…lol
You mean if she was below 18yo?
Trump appointed Noem because she is even more amoral than he is. Perfect for doing the dirty work.
Socially, she is a bit unpolished. You rarely see her in the same frame with Trump. He would see to that.
I’d suggest Trump’s backing down has more to do with the upcoming government shutdown. Or should I say, his attempt to avert an aggressive shutdown.
America Screamed Loudly and President Trump Blinked? Does that mean the Donald will now put “ICE on thin Ice” ?
This isn’t over by a long shot. Until Stephen Miller, Noem and Bondi are gone, there will be more outrageous behavior from the Trump admin on the immigration front. But even then, there will some other miscreant that gets the toddler’s attention. This is going to take a full regime change. Also, until DHS flushes the “by the pound, from the pound” recruits, it will remain a bottom-up lawless organization.
And, I seriously doubt that there will ever be anyone held accountable for the deaths, shootings and general depredations of ICE until that happens.
correct assessment of this crumbling evil empire. trump for life of red counties of amerika is the future i believe. he’s bigger than jesus and muhammed ali.
After the US breaks up, the red places will form a Trumpland, mostly older people. They will honor the memory of Trump.

Never confuse Mish with Karl Denninger.
Karl Denniger is not a libertarian like Mish, he’s a law and order authoritarian. Denninger does not have an open mind. I saw his take on the latest shooting. Denninger claims the shooting was justified because “he was interfering in an arrest” and was carrying a weapon and weapons are a threat to law enforcement. That’s the gist of his pretzel twisting logic.
Denninger is not capable of looking at the whole incident and considering all the facts or even recognizing what the facts are.
Denninger has banned all dissent to the point where every poster supports him and in turn, he is sort of forced to agree with his posters. That’s an echo chamber.
“he was interfering in an arrest” and was carrying a weapon and weapons are a threat to law enforcement. That’s the gist of his pretzel twisting logic.

it is standard way of handling in USA!
have you ever driven in USA, stopped by police, and first thing you always do is PUTTING HANDS ON WHEEL after stopping car ?
you know why?

if you are in confrontation w/ police and has a gun, you got shot and killed!
I bet 100$ nobody would go to jail for this!

YOU ARE NOT AMERICAN, ARE YOU?
should we mark your words?
I’ve seen a few too many videos of a police car dash cam, showing an officer stepping up to a car he just made a routine traffic stop on, to be shot at as he steps up to the driver’s window. A new show Crime in Progress, featured a call to do a welfare check on a man that had flagged a truck driver down on a roadway. After lulling the officer into thinking he was no harm, the man shot through the passenger window, resulting in the officer’s death. Imagine what would have happened to the truck driver, had he stopped.
Recently, a Police Canine in Burbank was shot and killed by the passenger in a traffic stop, after he ran off into a neighborhood. Police later killed him in a shootout. Yes, weapons are a threat to law enforcement. Monday morning quarterbacking makes for great virtue signalling.
your 2nd Amendment rights shall be infringed.
Weapons are a threat to everyone, by definition.
According to ChatGPT, over the last 10 years, approximately ten times more people have been killed by police in the U.S. than police killed by the population.
Cops don’t even make it into the top 20 for dangerous jobs in the US (they come in around #22) https://www.ishn.com/articles/112748-top-25-most-dangerous-jobs-in-the-united-states
Cops are more of a danger to themselves than the public is to them. More cops killed themselves than were killed in the line of duty by gunshot. Car crash while not wearing seat belt was probably the most way cops lose their life while on duty although that statistic is not available, just a guess.
The guy that killed her is serving life in prison.
Quit blubbering.

her ? which one , mor11on? one who got off dozens times??
GFY!
Isn’t this where you’re supposed to say that maybe they should have complied?
i did not get ? sorry!
The path back to liberty will require the blood of patriots. Too long we have taken the easy way out of all of the problems our country has faced. To think that the ones killed by agents of the government were more patriotic than the agents that did the killing is wrongheaded.
The whole apparatus of government and media has everything and everyone confused. It is done intentionally. I don’t think there is an easy way out for our citizens from here. It’s either further complacency and more of the same or the federal government must be abolished and replaced by a new one. How could that happen?
As I have said repeatedly expect it to get much worse.
Interesting that in Florida and Texas Illegal Immigrants are being deported with no problems at all—What is different? Perhaps the Democrats enjoy chaos and law breaking to benefit their political desire to continue the fraud and corruption they perfected in Mn. with their voter block of Somalis. Time will tell,
The back cover of Peter Schweizer’s new book The Invisible Coup is Horrifying
I hear this a lot from the MAGA crowd. The difference is that there aren’t 3,000 poorly trained but fully armed agents with quotas roaming the streets randomly gassing and snatching people without warrants. There are plenty of people with phone cameras in those states.
On the other hand, it could be because there are people in Minnesota willing to stand up to tyranny. But, hey, have a nice MAGA day dream.
Stay on the subject–try to refrain from personal attacks and name calling—but libs run on emotion and facts get in the way of their emotional propaganda they enjoy
He laid out a clear argument and then you did exactly what you accused him of without actually replying, LOL
He can’t stay on subject unless it’s orange man bad. They can’t help it. It’s a pavlovian response.
MAGAs never get emotional? Every one I have met is a fucking crybaby.
aw. so scary. i agree actually. the morons who have been voting red and blue uniparty the past few decades are horrifying. bombs away
I’ve seen firsthand the difference between Illinois and Texas federal immigration tactics.
In Illinois there were helicopters buzzing my suburban area scouting for landscapers and home repair trucks. Once spotted five or more unidentified cars showed up, fifteen or so masked and armed people got out and tried to grab brown people. Many of the brown people were legal, but were grabbed anyway.
In Texas, I saw federal immigration going to specific addresses to get specific people. No mass of unidentified cars racing around ignoring basic traffic rules and running into innocent citizens out doing daily errands.
What’s Different in Florida and Texas?
ICE is not shooting US citizens
ICE is not doing hard core racial profiling
ICE is not arresting 5-year-old kids
ICE is not breaking into homes
ICE is not doing drive-by pepper spraying
The invisible coup is by the neo-Nazis using Gestapo tactics in select places while racists stand back and cheer.
Does that answer your question?
Maybe if the purple haired sociopath rioters were in Dallas instead of Minneapolis (along with the Somali Learing Center fraudsters), we’d see it there, too. nah, couldn’t be that.
ICE arresting 5 year old kids?
TX and FL voted for trump CA and MN did not, that’s the answer. The base reason for the entire operation is the Epstein issue.
You haven’t read the Book yet
One huge difference is that MN local police and politicians are not enforcing the laws of the USA by helping ICE take illegal criminals out of local jails. They have sanctuary Cities where they harbor illegal aliens without regard to their oaths of office. In Fla and Tx the opposite is the case,
What are the numbers and where? I believe they are doing it the way they are trained to without requiring an army of fully armed officers. 3000 officers simply serves no purpose, which is why they are not being used in Florida and Texas.
Trump has waived off public pushback before but he recognizes enough internal pushback that he is cutting his losses. Likely someone will be cut loose after this for him to preserve power.
He certainly is trying to defuse it before the budget gets voted on. A shutdown is not in his interest.
Rational self interest ftw.
Just look at the ads they are using to recruit these thugs. Mish has highlighted them in articles, the 1930s blond labor department posters, the save america recruitment videos written in white nationalist prison tattoo font showing them kicking down doors in military gear, obvious white nationalist pandering…
Ask yourself what type of person would respond to this recruitment? is it any woner we get roided out, right wing tatooed, militaristic losers?
The Libertarian Party is the whitest of all the parties by a good amount so right there you have a problem.
It’s a party of non-partiers. So that makes it not much of a party at all….
I am not going to be a party to your comment.
Recruiting has been By the pound, From the pound.
“Risk of a Partial Government Shutdown This Weekend Is Rising.”
Probably the real reason Trump is backing down, this shut down would be clearly linked to the malfeasance of his administration.
Your toupe is on fire.
that is funny
As long as Trump is hiding the murderers of Alex Pretti, there will hang a stink over his administration. The Trump administration keeps using our tax dollars to pay murderers so that they can keep killing more American citizens.
In all the discussion of Sunday’s murder, no one in ICE has described what ‘the targeted action ICE was working on” I would be interesting to undersgtand what they thought they were doing.
“Thought”, you’re joking right? Like they actually have the capacity to think.
Well the intellectual overlap between Libertarianism and Marxism does sometimes lead to tactical cooperation. The enemy of my enemy is my friend until my enemy is vanquished then we duke it out. They often see each other’s roles as being useful idiots. The enemy of both of course is the broad Middle.
You’re in rare form today.
So you upvoted me.
I’m not an up or downvoter. I figure people can decide for themselves what to think about what you write.
Authoritarians are losers today and Mish is dancing on their graves, hence the angry lashing out at Libertarians.
These fucknuts can’t get past 3 syllable words, so liberal and libertarian are the same to them.
Mystifies me how many libertarians fall in with them.
hopefully, mish, you read this and approve. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/de-dollarization-gold-over-debt-end-keynesian-paper-promise-mirage
Saw an interesting YouTube video saying that Comex has lost control of silver and gold markets, contracts likely won’t be honored in a few months and just settled in cash.
Do you know where contracts will be settled for promised contracted metals? China!
Perhaps that’s why silver in China is selling for much higher than in US, it’s actual real metal not paper.
The author, Lacalle, follows me and vice versa. He is generally a good read.
thanks mish. i concur. spoke with a childhood, pal, at a major international very profitable gigantic hedge fund over weekend. no clients. just billions. it’s happening. it seems. btw i believe for hundreds of years, the east was on a silver standard and west on gold standard. the mandarin class in china likes to keep the gold for themselves, and let the masses of people trade silver. bernstein’s, power of gold, remains the best NON gold bug book on history of gold . https://www.google.com/search?gs_ssp=eJzj4tLP1Tcwy8soMk4xYPQSKsgvTy1SyE9TSM_PSVFIys_PBgChfQpl&q=power+of+gold+book&oq=power+of+gold+&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBwgEEC4YgAQyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQABiABDIHCAIQLhiABDIHCAMQABiABDIHCAQQLhiABDIHCAUQABiABDIHCAYQABiABDIHCAcQABiABDIHCAgQABiABDINCAkQABiGAxiABBiKBdIBCTEzMzMyajBqN6gCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Even James Cameron has had enough….

Looks like he exercised his exit strategy.
Ooh , James Cameron. Well in that case….
So, cancelling the midterms might not be a good idea, after all, huh?
It’s that or jail.
I served in the Army and the government. Bureaucracies create liars because advancement turns on your boss and the evaluation. A friend once remarked that the Army is the most “kissy ass organization imaginable”. Get promoted or get out. Lifers and bureaucrats don’t get rewarded for being honest or acts of heroism, so they become the weasel like creatures we see on the news.
Just one bad review by a CO and one’s chances for promotion are dashed. The military is made up of yesmen and brown nosers who’d never question an order to kill shipwrecks or US citizens. Have you an exit strategy?
That was my experience. We were slaves so we could afford to be honest but the lifers were repulsive liars and cyo men. The only good thing about serving is you know the score; unfortunately, the public doesn’t understand the military.
us military and VA is most marxist lenin institution we have. cradle to grave Gov. birthing on base. food and clothing on base. buried on base. hat tip Stalin and Lenin and of course Karl M
Militarists are usually voices for the “American way” usually freedom. The military is the exact opposite; it’s a mini communist system that allows zero freedom. You might think freedom lovers would look elsewhere for their model.
Corporate America “never ‘give up’ your boss”.
No one rises above colonel if they tell the truth. No general should be brought into the cabinet.

Amongst the many things that Trump is, he is also a SURVIVOR. And he is showing his survival tactics now.
The great thing about having not ideology, is that when you see things aren’t going your way you can quickly change tack, or TACO.
Of course in doing so you normally have to hang others out to dry. This time it doesn’t look like he is going to double down. And like Mish notes, Bondi and/or Noem might as he likes to say FIRED.
Nothing deflects attention like starting a fire and then later blaming somebody else. Meanwhile, what about the Epstein files?
any of the nasty and convincing……epstein evidence won’t be released unless eric snowden is hiding somewhere in NSA. the uniparty ruling class of pederasts are too deep and many for the evidence to come to light. most amerikans are very naive.
Bill Binney said that Snowden was among about 400 people who could have also accessed and transmitted the same information if they had so desired. So yes, NSA stooges remain.
That’s right, Trump pays close attention to public sentiment and realized it wasn’t going well for him. Time to pivot and select a fall guy.
So we can get back to Minneapolis Somali childcare fraud. Right?
And back to Epstein…
Why do you think Biden didn’t release it? If it’s as damaging to Trump as so many say, why not, right?
Because it was also damaging to many Dems and lots of very important rich people. Release ALL info except the names and faces of the victims, let the chips fall where they may. EVERYONE should agree on that.
Because it would reveal too much about Israeli sources and methods, as well as the extracurricular activities of prominent democrats.
Nobody said that Trump is the only name in the files.
Bondi, Noem and – most importantly – Susie Wiles should go. Unfortunately Wiles won’t go.
He’ll keep Wiles. She’s his “Nancy Pelosi”.
“…Things are blowing up for the Administration on multiple fronts simultaneously. Everyone in their right mind should be pleased…”
This is to be expected. Fascists leaders always surround themselves with incompetent “yes” people. That’s why fascist regimes always fail relatively quickly. This administration is a self limiting virus. Unfortunately it will do a ton of damage before it peters out.
franco and salazaar ruled spain and portugal under brutal fascists regimes for many decades. amerika has been corporatist, which is fascism, for many decades, now.
Spain was real poor under Franco.
It seemed like his main purpose was to protect Spain from the rest of Europe, post WWII.
the modern, us civil war which will end up busting up into a 50 state solution like the EU has. We have the neo confederates wearing Blue, who love their big imperial warmongering. We have the big federal bootlickers sporting Red Hats. Who also love their big imperial warmongering. Just an FYI for your sporting pleasure. It’s basically idiots against idiots. The only policy differences are ABORTION and IMMIGRATION and TARIFFS. Grab your program and hot dog and proper color for your panties and hats. WE CAN ALL AGREE TO BOMB THE LIVING HELL OUT OF THE REST OF THE WORLD.
If there’s a civil war, the pedophile elites will be hanging from lamp posts, so they’ll beat the drums of foreign wars to get some underlings killed instead: look, China! look, Iran! look, Russia! look…
you are an optimist.
Lamp posts are low entertainment. Real Americans demand MONSTER TRUCK PULLL EXECUUUUUUUUUTIOOOOOOONNNNNNSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The younger gens are not interested in 50 states – just too big. They’ll form smaller political entities, that work.
It’s time. Let the cousin fuckers create their mini Afghanistans and wallow in their stupid.
Don went with the BLM inspired group into that church and was part and parcel of disrupting a church service.The first amendment protects freedom of expression safe from government censorship and it also protects freedom of religious practice. Mr. Lemon confronted a member of the church during the protest inside, spouting off about his freedom of expression while trespassing and interrupting the service. The same law that applies to protest outside of an abortion clinic applies here, while the constitutional lines of Lemon’s imaginary rights are clear. Can I do this in a mosque or synagogue? Yeah, no. Its the white supremacist oppressor oppressed rift played again on a broken piano. Arrest him. Throw him in the can. The appointment of the so called Judge is immaterial. He’s wrong.
That church is preaching politics, and should have it’s tax free status revoked.
You’re right, of course, but the government doesn’t have to prosecute everything. You pick your battles.
Note to Donald Trump: “RESIGN”
This shameful bully needs to be removed along with his sycophants!
Boycott all FOX News and its advertisers!
nobody under 50, watches fox on their teeeeveeee, old sport. i do share your sentiments though. bombs away
I watch “News Nation”. Fox is ridiculous in its bias.
teeeveee is going the way of rotary phones. btw when i lived in AZ with brutal monsoons taking our electric out quite often, the rotary phone worked perfect. my kids and their friends loved the thing. they always used it. antique communications.
I only see it occasionally in Older peoples homes or the occasional office setting. I have no idea why a business would turn on such polarizing content as it chases some customers away.
Living in MAGA country exposes me to a different subset of the population.
But where will I get my daily dose of Big Tiddy Bleach Blonde news?
lol, keep crying. Orange man is here for 3 more years.
He won’t see winter. He looks like one of those salmon that spawned and is slowly dying as it floats back down the river.
Looks like he smells worse. Bengay, sweat and poop.
3 more years, Trumpedo. Enjoy!
And miss President Vance? Him and Stephen need at least a year to complete The Plan. If he’s still toddling around flinging diapers in 2 years, somebody’s going to push him down the airforce one stairway.
He just asked his supporters at the Iowa rally if they want to see him run a fourth term to loud cheers. Trump might be the US Caesar turning the republic into an empire, though admittedly a far less intelligent version. Karl Marx did say history repeats itself, first as a tragedy, second as a farce.
