Trump is a liar. He does not want to de-escalate. He wants people to believe he is.
The lead image is before the murder of Pretti. Let’s discuss recent events.
Is This De-Escalation?
Is This De-Escalation?
Imagine how un-tough you must be to dress up in that gear, cover your face, load your weapons, grab extra ammo, call 50 guys for backup… and attack an elderly couple in a church parking lot.
Whose City Is It?
“It’s our f*cking city.”
Well that clears things up. But at least he was demoted.

Is that de-escalation?
Musk Chimes In With Idiocy
“The fact is no person’s rights are above anyone else’s rights. And it would behoove ICE to go after criminals instead of murdering US citizens and targeting 5-year-olds.”
No Cameras Please
Clearly This Is De-Escalation
Q: De-escalation? Are you serious?
A: She was not shot 10 times. What more do you want?
A Powerful Story and a Brave Young Adult
I salute this brave citizen.
De-Escalation Hits Evanston Illinois
Please play that. The Gestapo goon in brown tries to shield the camera from capturing what’s happening by the Gestapo goon in green.
Please make sure you see the 2:18 to 2:22 minute mark.
De-escalation?

Three More Kids Taken by ICE
Question of the Day, From Italy
Q: Is ICE now Trump’s personal Gestapo?
A: What do you mean “now”? That was the original intent.
There’s noting like de-escalation that crosses 4,300 miles of ocean all the way to Italy.
Seriously Pathetic De-Escalation Speech
Homan “I do not want to hear that everything that’s been done here is perfect,” Homan said Thursday.
Seriously WTF? That is one piss poor way to describe two murders.
Dear President Trump, spare us the lip service lies on de-escalation. You don’t mean it. Homan doesn’t mean it. Pam Bondi doesn’t mean it, and Noem does not mean it.
As long as Stephen Miller is setting your racist Gestapo policy, there will be no de-escalation.
They remain nothing but a pack of liars.

Polls now back my posts. The midterms cannot come too soon.
Unfortunately, this is what it looks like when laws are enforced after more than a decade of rebellion.
A microcosm of what is taking place is the old reruns of: “Hardcore Pawn”. About a pawn shop in Detroit during the mortgage crisis recession. Most customers followed the laws of the establishment. But, there are individuals that don’t understand how a financial business works or want to take advantage. Those customers screamed, demanded money, threatened to not leave the establishment until the shop gave them money. When coherent reasoning failed, a big burley bouncer guided the unruly customer out the door, sometimes physically. Some customers used their size to intimidate the clerk, so the bouncer needed the perception of overwhelming force. The same bouncer was there to control a disruptive grandmother (sorry Mish). If the show had edited the film with just the bouncer as he carried boisterous kicking customers, it would seem unfair. This is what MSM does with illegals. They replay the same video endlessly, so viewers senses become fatigued.
Federal Judge Refuses To Block Trump’s ICE Surge In Minnesota
Tyler Durden’s Photo
by Tyler Durden
Saturday, Jan 31, 2026 – 02:00 PM
Authored by Jacob Burg and Troy Mayers via The Epoch Times,
A federal judge on Jan. 31 denied Minnesota’s emergency request to block the Trump administration’s deployment of thousands of federal agents to the Twin Cities in a large-scale immigration enforcement operation.
In her ruling Saturday morning, U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez wrote that the “Court must view Plaintiffs’ claims through the lens of the specific legal framework they invoke, and, having done so, finds that Plaintiffs have not met their burden… the motion is denied.”
She heard arguments from both the Department of Justice and attorneys representing Minnesota and its Twin Cities earlier this week, appearing somewhat skeptical of the district court’s authority over the separation of powers arguments the plaintiffs were advancing.
However, Menendez also probed the Justice Department’s intentions with Operation Metro Surge, the federal government’s deployment of more than 4,000 federal agents to Minnesota’s Twin Cities, and whether the Trump administration violated the 10th Amendment’s “anti-commandeering doctrine.”…………….
To be fair – you can’t have a winter Olympics without ICE….
DOJ Releases 3 Million Pages Of Epstein Files Including Hundreds Of Thousands Of Photos
We can’t draw any conclusions from these stories, especially the woman’s, or the elderly couple’s, without the full story. I can compare what this woman went through with what happens in other circumstances. If you commit a crime, you will be apprehended by the police, whether you have a child or not. Then social services will potentially take care of the child. If there is no crime, there may be an identity check, which doesn’t require aggressive police action if the check is accepted. Otherwise, or if the check reveals that the person being checked is in an irregular situation or wanted by the police, there can, of course, be an arrest.
Any excuse for the Jackboot Goons.
At any rate, I think I am better off simply building the soils on my farms and enjoying the world as it is ~ in my small piece of paradise. There is nothing I can do about this turmoil.
I want the criminal immigrant elements deported, especially the drug traffickers and rapists. But these ICE tactics are deplorable.
It is a bad image for America.
We all know what bullies and perverts are capable of, and the fact that the closest psychological counterparts to inmates are the guards.
all empires crumble. some fast. like ussr. some slowly like the spanish, who just capitulated by 1898 and call it a day. the usa has been crumbling for a few decades at least. seems like she is picking up speed with the donald at the helm punching all our allies and neighboring countries, and bombing our enemies non stop. kidnapping people for a few barrels of oil. perhaps your paradise stays that way for many more decades. perhaps they tax it out from under you as an enemy of the army. we’ll get a military take over is my best bet as we plunge down lower and lower. like argentina and chile……..and many many more places
Your rational approach will offend many rioters. That’s ok. Everything offends them.
The Mob has no Brains it just reacts.
Our government has put psychotic goons loose on the street.
But what they’re dealing with–lawless immigration–is a calculated product of the Democratic Party.
So what comes next?
Thank you Mish for writing about the political economy! Math driven “economics” is all good and fine, but political economy gives the big picture. If people don’t think the loss of the bill of right and the constitution won’t affect “economics”, they are deluded. What is going on right now will destroy “economics” for most Americans.
which of the bill of rights have you lost?
Are you familiar with “First They Came”?
which rights have you lost? Please be specific.
First, freedom of speech and expression is explicitly guaranteed to individuals and private-sector enterprises, and that freedom is freedom from government retaliation for speech or expression that criticizes the government. Are you going to really deny that this freedom with Donald Trump as President has been materially compromised? Dissent has and continues to be punished using the levers of government and the bully pulpit of the President.
Fascism or not? Retaliation against ICE observers/protesters or any visible objector is underway, removing TSA travel pre approval and other privileges. I will bet that tax return “problems” and Medicare and SSA application “issues” will arise, also. Any interface with the Feds becomes subject, thanks to the consolidation of data under Musk
I miss 5he good old days where this blog focused on the global economy,
you might be surprised that this approach to governing IS affecting the economy
derp derp, economy affected by my emotional outrage at ICE.
You are absolutely correct– the approach Biden took in letting in MILLIONS of ILLEGAL ALIENS is definitely affecting the economy now. Thanks Sleepy Joe!
I miss the good old days when the US President focused on leadership, not destruction.
If you don’t like it, go away, don’t be a little whining baby
politics and geography and wars………have always been global economics.
And yet you can’t help but come here, read the post, and write a comment about it.
It would seem the blog achieved it’s mission, to get you to come here, read it, THINK and comment. The fact that you’re uncomfortable makes the post worth it because it’s making you think.
That’s not necessarily true. You’re not thinking but you’re commenting. One has little to do with the other.
But we feel the need to invade Iran because of their oppressive brutal government. A government fighting back against the violence we helped to provoke. This country has lost its way. The American experiment is coming to an end.
Bleeding-heart LEFT WING LIB Mish is at it again! smh
Wow, you really refuted everything he just posted. Great counter argument. Keep up the good work.
Hey, A-hole! Let’s get one think extremely clear, law enforcement is charged with protecting the public first and foremost. That does not include tackling unarmed people, shoving, punching, or kicking. It certainly does not include drawing a gun and pointing it at unarmed bystanders and even overly aggressive protestors. There is nothing “liberal” about expecting our law enforcement to be professional and to act in a “first do no harm” manner when interacting with the public while enforcing the law.
You are TRULY DERANGED! LOL Seek help for your TDS.
Yeah, Mish is the bad guy.
I sleep better at night not knowing or caring…
SNARK
These type of comments reflect that the police actions are in the enforcement of a fascistic government aimed literally at “one world” government by the super wealthy
they say, “eff your freedoms, eff your rights”, they take control of private companies, they control all major media outlets
be happy in your blindness
Ah yes, whoever doesn’t agree with you is a Commie
Wow, just like anyone who doesn’t agree with YOU is a fascist, huh?
NEWS FLASH Next Fed chair: Jeffrey Epstein
You could look at it that way, as stated based upon the responses (numbers) I assume. You could also look at it for what “It Actually says”
94% of Democrats “Side with Illegals” and that’s the actual truth, based upon what’s occurring in our Country via Democrat Sanctuary Cities, Sanctuary States, and overall views they espouse. Not to mention there extremely aggressive anger towards law enforcement officers, for simply doing there jobs. Maybe they should look at there Politicians and harass them for NOT doing there jobs?
19% of Republicans “Side with The Law” and that’s the actual truth, based upon what’s occurring in our Country via Republican Cities, States, and overall views they espouse. They continue to try and work with the Democrat sanctuary States and Cities, but they simply refuse to follow the law, and actually have been helping to subvert the law. They are interfering, pulling illegal stunts, and yes getting arrested for it all, but for what? Just to assist law breakers to continue to break the law? Nice U.S. Politicians you got on that side of the aisle. Traitor quickly comes to mind…
Theirs are actual legal ways to do so, but I suppose that’s too much work, and violence is faster, and easier to pull off, for now…
it’s how human primates react to a sinking ship of a crumbling empire………
Destroy it even faster and more, so it never recovers? Great Plan… Not! Try passing laws, and other legal ways. We have went way beyond being primates, No? Follow the law until it’s changed.
NOPE. YOU DUMB.
If I am dumb for following the law, and wanting others to as well, then you’re an absolute idiot! Are you an anarchist by chance, asking for a Freind…
I think 94% of Democrats don’t think murdering, assaulting, and harassing American citizens is the way to go about dealing with illegal immigrants.
There is a middle ground on how to deal with the immigrant situation. Being brown in the US is the equivalent of Jews wearing arm bands in Nazi Germany.
More stunning stupidity. Thanks for sharing.
True, that’s how they feel about us citizens. Illegals are immune from all that.
– I think 94% of Democrats don’t think murdering, assaulting, and harassing American citizens is the way to go about dealing with illegal immigrants.
> However it’s quite alright in your mind, to attempt murder, assault, and harassing American Federal Workers, for simply doing there jobs? Is this truly the way to go about dealing with law enforcement? You try to harm them from protecting our Country from self destruction, while letting the law breakers run wild, and free?
I. Can’t wait to see our Country in 10 years if that’s your stance. We will all be getting arrested for our thoughts… like the UK is now!
– Being brown in the US is the equivalent of Jews wearing arm bands in Nazi Germany.
> Sure it is, and could you ask ALL The Brown & Black People in Public Office across the Country, how that’s working out for them and their families personally. You will hear quite the different story than what your being led to believe…
The pro-Gestapo GOPers are downvoting you today

you a FAG. i don’t travel with other men.
I don’t play Golf with Woman. I suppose you do, and it’s probably because your not able to keep up with the Men, and that’s the reason I play with the Men and not Woman, because I don’t like waiting up for golfers like you and woman, to try and keep up.
to be fair, he’s probably using ping pong balls instead of golf balls. The look very similar.
Is there any way we keep my guitar collection out of the fall of the American empire?
I think it’s called pan handling?…

new fed chair is Warsh. insider and lauder family. the maga billies in for a ride……..this won’t stop the isolation of MAGA SOVIET UNION from attempting to rule the globe. it will fail as states secede………..elections cancelled in red states. physical gold is doing fine with bids and volume. the paper scammers in comex are shaking out the weak hands……..in a panic of delivery. my guesses
Yes, the States hold the power.
And, if necessary, they will break up into smaller/other entities.
Are you for or against needing a secure photo ID as proof of citizenship to cast your vote? Sorry to ask but it is kind of key to having a democracy.
up to the individual states. unless you are full blown for MAGA SOVIET UNION
I think they call them “Federal Elections” for a reason.
NOPE STU. THEY ARE STATE ELECTIONS FOR FED OFFICES. YOU PUBLIC SCHOOL DROPOUT?
Since the fuck when?
I think shortly after we started witnessing “Purple Fingers”
Doug, so you’re saying all those decades when it was not required, we did not have a democracy? A curious claim from someone who seems to be intelligent.
oh snap! good one rando! you just owned Doug78 good, real good.
we need one big beautiful federal election run by jared kushner and stephen miller as our only poll workers and judges.
The FBI raided a Georgia election office on Wednesday as it examined allegations of voter fraud in the 2020 US election. This headline was taken from the BBC 28/1/26. They took all the election boxes! Expect the FBI to find ‘evidence of fraud’ surprise, surprise. This is just another piece of the jigsaw Trump will use to say the mid terms can’t go ahead due to national security reasons. Hope I’m wrong.
I’m lost for words…..effing disgusting bastards is all I am left with. Demask these animals and make them carry ID.
I noted a good argument that the Gestapo were professionals and ICE are more like the street thugs that joined the SA aka Brownshirts
There is almost zero vetting during the hiring process of ICE agents.
Tell us about the hiring process.
PSD handles this part, it’s an entire Division with all sorts of checks, vetting etc.,..
I actually tuned in to mention that Gold and Silver are enjoying some real volatility as the actual physical metal is being sucked out of the country to nations that are not willing to hold 4.5% paying bonds denominated in a currency that is tanking.
COMEX silver inventory has dropped by >10 million ounces this week alone.
What a ride as the world is now anticipating another downgrade of US debt.
Pretty easy to get pulled into the content that Mish provides and see the terror that the ICE goons incite.
This will not end well!
ALL EVIL EMPIRES CRUMBLE. NO EXCEPTIONS IN HISTORY OF HUMAN PRIMATES. TRUMP WILL MOST LIKELY END UP LIKE MUSSOLINI OR HITLER OR ANY NUMBER OF TYRANTS IN PAST……….
trump ending up like other tyrants is of no concern. The millions of Americans that die in the process of removing him is of real concern. I don’t believe he will go peacefully. His sycophants know that their heads will be on the chopping block with his they will fight to the death.
Your opinions are irrelevant. Facts first.
While you could make a good argument for Pretti carrying a gun (he was licensed to carry), there is no rational argument for bringing a kid out in the cold to march with these whackos. That’s just crappy parenting and narcissism.
And you would leave your four year old home alone? Maybe you would stay in your home waiting for the door to be kicked in by these goons.
This may be hard to believe but I wouldn’t go in the first place because when you’re a parent, your kid is your main responsibility, not going to a protest in 15 degree weather. What’s wrong with you?
When you believe something is wrong, 15 degrees is not cold. Get a parka. Every winter we get cold weather, wimps like you stay indoors. Real people build the country.
Then don’t cry about a kid in a protest. Be an adult. That’s a big ask, isn’t it?
Being human is apparently an even bigger ask for you.
I prefer law enforcement to not be attacked doing their job. I prefer the mentally unstable to get help, but apparently that’s too big of an ask for you.
Who says ya gonna get midterm elections? Extrapolate & you’ll realise no law, no elections.
By design. Trump did say that he would be “Dictator On Day One” of his second term. Might be the only honest statement he has ever made…
i’m just shocked that so many are shocked. the long march of past 60 years, for this world wide war mongering empire, long ago outfitted the state side police with military gear and they became occupying forces, instead of peace officers. i reiterate, the uniparty red and blue parties are both total fascists. responsible for all this shit. democracy works. amerikans are fascists. the few percentage of us who vote libertarian or green, want peace and prosperity and not to take over the world. i knew all this shit would happen. not if. just when, was the only question. it’s over kids. turn out the lights. 50 state solution is coming. the western states from CO to CA will be first to go.
Exactly. All the war crimes of the last few decades and the criminal perpetrators couldn’t find any productive job, so they were naturally drawn to the militarized police and federal enforcement agencies. That is, the U.S. are at the receiving end of their own storm troopers after long last.
BINGO
paranoia seeping in.
Send them back. Send them all back.
Borders never should have been wide open to start with as all it’s done is allow every grifter and scammer from every 3rd world country and a few 2nd world country to flood in and take advantage.
Those that want to “protect” them should sign up for full support and responsibility for them for a lifetime if necessary.
borders open past 400 years.
Moron
Relax. You guys all came here as grifters, just ask the American Indians.
Give California and Texas back to Mexico, that would sort the illegals issue?
We stole that fair and square.
lol, you’re living on stolen land. What a loony.
Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem have turned the Department of Homeland Security into the Department of Homeland Insecurity. People in Minneapolis now have to live in an American version of Gaza.
Obama was apparently deporting twice the number of illegals as Trump. Then Trump came in and an overwhelming wave oof immigrants stormed our southern border because he was going to build a wall. Trump failed completely to have Mexico pay to build a wall or control illegal immigration. Trump ended up causing a massive wave of illegals to immigrate because the border was going to close.
So Obama was effective, Trump a failure.
This coming from a former Republican who is now without a party or representation.
obama was a violent warmongering asshole. libya and surge in afghanistan. he was a domestic fascist too. he gave Homan a medal for his deportations. wtf is wrong with amerikans. such hate
Cult propaganda mouthpiece Fox sure has no problem with ICE killing people.
They simply smear the victims and ignore the reality of the Fascism that Fox has been promoting for years.
These ICE agents are the same Jan 6th insurrectionist goons that stormed our capital and attempted to reverse a legitimate election. Trump pardoned all of those insurrectionists and hired many of them for their willingness to brutalize, intimidate and kill.
What else should we expect from a convicted felon and apparent pedophile that is colluding with his fellow republicans to obstruct justice. The Epstein files have faded from the news because Trump is promoting multiple abhorrent attacks on legitimate citizens on an escalating basis.
Who do Trump and Fox work for?
Regarding the young man who saved his coworkers You Are A Good American and I and all of my friends are proud of you! The gestapo has to go and Mike Sherlock is right human beings have rights!
A lot of comments here blaming the mom of the 5 year old that was abducted by ICE. “It was her fault for wearing a short skirt and getting raped” is the mentality I guess.
Yall defending this nonsense are either not paying attention or intentionally ignoring the issues that Americans have with ICE.
Masked agents going after people on the streets with no probable cause, other than skin tone.
Masked agents aggressively attacking anyone assisting or filming.
Masked agents ignoring most of the Bill of Rights as well as several other Constitutional amendments.
Poorly trained agents with no sense of temperance or control due to lack of experience being aggressive to the point of harm.
I want safe borders. I want illegals who are criminals deported. Go into the jails, even in sanctuary cities, and round them up and ship them out. If Democratic run sanctuary cities push back, then they are in the wrong not ICE and Trump. But the thugs don’t want to do that, bc they want the current narrative. Stephen Miller is a truly evil human and relishes the conflict. The average American wants none of this.
No sane person is excusing the mom if she brought her son here illegally. But no sane person would applaud ICE thugs doing what they are doing to a 5 year old. Shame on you if you do.
If you’re interested in facts, where’s the 30-60 seconds of video just before this happened? We have seen way too many of these clips that tell one story just to find later that it’s all manipulated bs. It’s time we stop falling for this.
Unfortunately, there are several thousand mentally unwell people that are drawn to Minneapolis like flies to horsecrap. Let’s not pretend these people have anything other than their narcissism animating their actions.
You are so cute is your little SS outfit… How many children have you raped today?
Trump has sent his personal army of armed thugs into the streets of an American city for the purpose of inciting legitimate protests and using those same protests to incite unrest and commit acts of violence against unarmed protestors/civilians.
This, while his armed and deadly thugs commit multiple violations of the Bill of Rights on bystanders and people that get caught up is attempting to stop his thugs from abusing people.
“Your Papers Please”?
But what else should we expect from a president and congress that protects pedophiles and rapists?
I’m sorry I hurt your feelings. Be honest….are you one of these crazies in minneapolis? Your comments are unhinged, so there’s a chance.
send them all to the camps. the final solution is needed czech nazi. /sarcasm for the idiots.
Mish edited out the 30-60 seconds prior where we could see you with your head so far up an ice agents ass that you were wearing his moustache
Sounds like some unrealized fantasy you have.
Sounds like truth, something you are unfamiliar with.
OK present the video……… Yeah I thought so.
You couldn’t handle it.
“It was her fault for wearing a short skirt and getting raped”
You are so right, exact same kind of low life people
Americans want mass deportations. Period. There are no non-criminal illegals. ALL of them should expect to be treated as such.
Where is this ‘compassion’ for Americans? Its clear where it is. Even BEFORE this began.
You have no clue about American law and criminality. Get some education before you bother us with your ignorance.
Remember History does not repeat itself it rhymes
“It would then be a duty to see that [immigrants] were given ample opportunity to learn to read and write and that they were deported if they failed to take advantage of the opportunity. No man can be a good citizen if he is not at least in process of learning to speak the language of his fellow-citizens. And an [immigrant] who remains here without learning to speak English for more than a certain number of years should at the end of that time be treated as having refused to take the preliminary steps necessary to complete Americanization and should be deported. But there should be no denial or limitation of the [immigrant’s] opportunity to work, to own property and to take advantage of civic opportunities.” ~Theodore Roosevelt Carnegie Hall October 1915
teddy was the worst of the worst. USS maine…..spanish war…… he’s a hero where i’m from originally. wealthy nyc and north shore of LI. the ruling class of this twat empire
“I have no age limit” Trump has no compassion for any freedom loving American.
This is evidenced by the refusal of his congress to release the properly redacted Epstein files. Look at who surrounds Trump, thugs and bullies. Sycophants of the worst moral fiber. Multiple murders of citizens of our nation in cold blood and nothing is being done. Random search and seizure (or murder, beating and unlawful detention) by goon squads…
Trillions are being spent to monitor everything we say or write, track our every action without our consent and categorize us for potential prosecution or possibly execution. This is Trumps version of “Winning” where everyone loses and he sits pathetically upon his golden throne of abuse.
you really didn’t think the CIA was gonna let the files released, did you?. unless eric snowden type person does. then they have to run to HK and Russia……….
Bro, those data centers tracking all this…. those were built during the Obama years.
You really have no idea what you’re saying.
Rogan-Snowden interview went into it in great detail.
Just more whataboutism. My neighbor robbed a bank and got away with it, I should be able to do the same thing, without consequence?
Facts bother you. They should.
“Where is this ‘compassion’ for Americans? Its clear where it is. Even BEFORE this began.”
The only “Americans” here live on reservations. The rest of us are immigrants or their descendants. My people came here from Canada, yours came from Dumbfuckistan. The vast majority of recent immigrants who have issues with their status or documentation are not criminals, they are at most guilty of administrative violations.
Here’s a dummy who doesn’t notice the polls.
Trump clearly wants his legacy is to be known as the modern day “satan.” I believe he is almost there.
How was the food at the drum circle encampment today?
i love the bongos. and trumpet. nazis v union of soviets. guess who wins?
Might’ve missed the notice but when did this site become a place for keeping score on Trump. Be more effective if it was down the middle. While the commentary on tariffs was wah, wah, wah too it seemed to from a place of calm. Anywho…keep up the rage.
If you were looking for forecasts on gold and silver over the past 7 years there were many other sources, including Bo Polny, who holds Old Testament Bible verses upside-down to a fun house mirror and still got it right.
ha ha ha. too funny. i’ve been stacking since i was a child in 1960s. silver from 1965 on. gold from 1971 on. it was more fun when it was illegal to own gold in amerika.
It’s funny to speak in rational phrases to some of these folks.
Did anyone notice the murder rate has dropped significantly? I did not see that in this post. 3 in 10,000 encounters with police go sideways. Oh, I have an idea – let’s prevent the 3 incidents by not having the 9,997 other encounters. The police are not perfect, but they are trying to remove suspected criminals and guess what (murders). Everyone whether illegal or not, will get their day in court, even the policing officers. If you have been damaged file a lawsuit. There are plenty of eager attorneys. In my book, the protestors are trying to initiate 10 million encounters with police, and it is a math game. CNN and the rest of the media (Mish) show a clip but only tell half the story. The policing officers are trying to protect you and enforce the law. If you don’t like the law, please change it and don’t promote mob stupidity where – math again – 3,000 needless act of defiance endanger the people trying to protect you and enforce the law.
I read many of the comments in three of the ICE and protestor videos posted and it was surprising that they were not what one would think they would be. Kind of the opposite of what the people who took the videos hoped to accomplish.
Another “good” American who has never had an encounter with the police.
ZH: Multiple Polls Show Majority Of Americans Want All Illegals Deported
…..This is the prevailing position of most Americans, as CNN recently discovered in a segment which outlined a series of different polls from a variety of media outlets. All of the polls say the same thing, around 55% to 65% of the US public wants mass deportations of illegal immigrants without question and without qualification. If they are not an official citizen, then they must go.
The polling results expose a few inconvenient truths for Democrats and deportation critics. First, the public has not changed their stance on immigration since the elections. The stats on deportations are very similar to those collected in 2024.
Second, the NGO engineered chaos in cities like Minneapolis has not changed anything. Public opinion is not moving in favor of leftists. In other words, a small minority of activists are trying to override public policy on immigration and rule the country through insurgency.
Third, Americans are not buying into the rhetoric that just because a migrant has been in the US illegally for a long time, that means he or she deserves to stay. Just because a migrant obeyed the law after sneaking across the border, that does not mean they get de facto citizenship. The law is the law.
Finally, the overarching motivation of Americans who want deportations is not simply to reduce crime. As many surveys and polls have shown in the past, the public is also concerned about the economy, price inflation caused by high demand, tax dollars being devoured by migrants seeking welfare handouts, not to mention millions of American jobs going to foreigners who work for 30% less under the table.
Then there’s the US census and the fact that mass immigration affects voting districts in favor of Democrat cities and states.
And above all else, there’s the agenda to erase western culture and replace it with multicultural, globalist socialism. The root purpose behind mass immigration from the third world is to deconstruct the west. People are waking up to this reality, and they’re not going accept it.
That post is clear bullshit. Seriously bullshit. can you fucking read.
https://mishtalk.com/economics/trumps-immigration-approval-drops-to-record-low-34-with-latinos/
Simply offering another online perspective. To many are responding to media clips taken out of context IMO as if the incident of the moment happened in isolation forgetting there is usually documented media proceeding whatever is the outrage of the moment that is not being shared with the public painting those individuals in a very poor light. Ignorance is bliss completely excusing the multiple poor choices the individuals chose to exercise to garner their poor responsibility FAFO sometimes tragic results. Again and again in a majority (not all of cases) we get trickle truth information leading up to incident. His dad told Pretti not to engage ICE. Felony charge pushing that ICE agent. .
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/multiple-polls-show-majority-americans-want-all-illegals-deported
This isn’t even a political comment…. it’s just one we all know is true. Or at least we used to.

Public Loudspeakers: In areas without private sets, the Ministry of Propaganda installed loudspeakers in factories, schools, and town squares to broadcast speeches and news, making it nearly impossible to avoid.
“Radio Belongs to Us”: Goebbels consolidated all broadcasting under the state’s control (Gleichschaltung) and ensured that Hitler’s speeches, Nazi anthems, and propaganda were the dominant, and often only, content.
Direct Access: Radio allowed Hitler to directly enter the homes of millions of Germans, creating an intimate, powerful, and immediate connection that was impossible with print media.
The US is far along this path, trouble is it’s not working in some areas, that will change or those folks will feel the pain, so say trump sycophants.
And the video of the woman in Durango CO thrown to the ground and getting her ass kicked by ice gestapo you probably support that! You are a liar no facts and a blind follower of the gestapo regime!
She had it coming.
U R A fucking bastard and blind follower of the gestapo regime
She did not violate the law and that is obvious except to you
lol, nah.
Well are not trained ICE legal observers & protesters required to maintain personal space distance so as to not obstruct federal officers in the performance of their duties?
Perhaps he was checking to make sure it wasn’t a weapon since it was dark out and she was in his personal space surrounded by a small mob when he reached out to take & examine it.
Now watch the clip again. She escalated the situation. She committed battery on that ICE officer before he took her down.
Most legal officers do not like potential threats in close proximity 15-20′ or closer while they are performing their duties.
I am worried about your health get a checkup from the neck up!
The resent MRI of his head showed an empty vessel.
which of your 6 cats walked on the keyboard and typed that message? Your incoherence is visible.
“Most legal officers” are cowards and many are criminals.
Who cares what polls show? None can be trusted because they all cherrypick the result and call people they know will go along with them.
All of them are useless.
Utter silence from the Republicans. They are fascist Nazis pure and simple and anyone who supports them is a Nazi. Yes, YOU are the people we fought in WW2 and here we are suffering under this tyranny. Go fuck yourselves.
If you think that’s something consider what U.S. Grant did to the Indians 150 years ago.
modern amerikans are morons. they have no clue how evil an empire we have been for 250 years. at least the europeans acknowledge how evil the Romans and Spanish and Portuguese………..were. amerikans are still the worlds cunts. maybe in another 50 or 100 years we will admit it.
Before then, there will be no us to admit it, by the way things are going.
If they’re still around.
That doesn’t sound unhinged at all. Tell you what bob…. hop a flight to Iran and let us know how it compares.
The kid was comin’ right for us!
Who made the poor decision? Who put the child at risk? We need to up our expectations and expect these idiots to make better decisions.
You don’t know why she made the choices she did. Could have been more dangerous where she came from. Maybe she couldn’t get work to feed the kid.
Jesus is watching you ghouls.
Watching you ghouls too. Has that occurred to anyone?
And you have a ‘conscience’ only for what the MSM shows you.
The reality is, your position on this was decided long before what the news purports to tell you.
I can watch a video and interpret it for myself. Go fondle yourself to Fox and Friends.
So much projection.
So much truth, you can’t handle it.
Funny gerhard look at Mike Shedlocks videos and that ain’t man and u r a blind follower of the gestapo regime
MSM instead of man
nothing but blind rage from dean. bananas.
Get a checkup from your neck up! I m very very sorry that u r koooo koooo for Coco Puffs get well soon
Cocaine’s a helluva drug, right Dean?
Thank you for proving you’re too goddam stupid and unoriginal to be a bot.
I was on the fence for a bit.
That doesn’t make much sense. Right on point, son.
Kooks add humor to life… at least until they get control of the largest military on the planet.
You’re assuming positive intent for someone who took their 5 year old to a riot. At least you’re consistent with your poor judgement!
Donald Trump put that kid at risk.
shouted from the bottomless pit of despair
You up on the mountain celebrating kids getting hurt?
Of course you are. You worship a pedo.
Yes, 100%.
Good on you for owning it. Now you’re just a pervert, not a lying pervert.
I told you what you wanted to hear, so how could I be a liar? Is someone checking your posts for clarity of thought? Maybe you should run it through AI or have your mom proof read.
Pulling a gun on people with no weapons? That’s just so bad. Real creeps
She could have grabbed that kid by the leg and used it as a fearsome bludgeon.
He’s lucky a bystander with concealed weapon didn’t draw and end him right there. You don’t point a loaded weapon at people unless you intend to kill.
Hmm it seems that the Gentleman shot and killed the other day had a previous encounter with law enforcement. Then a few days later returned with a gun?
Maybe still more to the story or was it just AI?
Updates?
Update: They tackled him, took his gun from his holster, and shot him 10 times in the back.
You’re welcome.
Yes perfect response to stupid whataboutism by Ken
He had the gun at both times.
so what. should we take all the knives and guns from the entire population. what about baseball bats.
And pointed sticks!
General questions for Ken:
Why is there 2nd amendment?
Does the govt dictate if/when/where rights apply?
Most cops and other authorities think it’s unfortunate that we have rights like the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th, they say it all the time. Just watch some auditors videos on you tube. These videos prove most cops hate our civil rights and most persons calling the police or 911 lie they’re ass off when reporting.
Most cops? What percent? Any data or just your emotional outrage?
It would be great if the people who support having illegals in this country personally paid for their welfare, food stamps, Medicaid, and rent subsidies. Even then I would be against it, but at least the US does have to go into greater debt to pay for these people.
Deal, I’ll take the money they pay in taxes and FICA and make out like a bandit.
Do they pay income tax? Really!!! Last time I checked FICA was for Social Security and Medicare not social services. Sales tax sure but so do tourists with a visa and they don’t get a rebate when they leave.
It would be great if assholes supported the Constitution.
W had a 90%+ approval rating after 9-11, the highest ever for a sitting president. Go figure. JEB! (please applaud) was running on that in 2015, for about 2 minutes as it turned out.
condi rice just couldn’t imagine hijackers capable of flying jumbo jets on target to WTC towers and pentagon. just nobody could imagine that. /sarc
Condi is my political celebrity crush… don’t you disparage her!
love you mish. but as a fellow libertarian voter, i implore you. read “ominous parallels”. slowly. amerika ruling class copied the german model of schooling and philosophy circa 1900. the result of copying bismark nihilism was deadly for germany and italia and world. we became the world’s evil empire decades ago. 9.11.01 was haliburtton and MICC christmas morning. the rest is eyewash. plato and socrates……….discussed the problem with an democracy when the people are assholes in one’s land. the only way out is a 50 state bust up and back to confederation of states.
Do we take the red states off the gravy train too?
— No, it’s not de-escalation. It’s terrible.
— And for every one (1) case of ICE bad things, another 10 cases of even worse things happen every day in the USA, by ordinary police. These are not people?
— There’s a business opportunity in becoming a general journalism blog, but you’ll need a crew/cameras for field reporting, interviews from both sides, etc. to make it professional.
The field of “reacting to other media postings” is over-saturated even on YT. In fact, there’s AI producing videos now within minutes of something happening, with plenty of emotional coloring towards the one or the other political side.
best to read foreign papers in times like this. just for perspective. i like asia times the best, past few years.
Trump learned de escalation from Netanyahu.
Putin buddy too.
Mish ICE is not the Gestapo, but SA, the brown shirts.
The spirit of what your are saying is correct but the right Nazi analogue to ICE is the SA. They where the thugs going around intimidating and harassing people.
Also Trump cannot deescalate. The moment he does, his whole fascist have is over. His political survival friends on the constant escalation.
correct. also mussolini and black shirts is more similar to trump. also obama was much like mussolini too. the toast of high society of the world……..
MIsh, you need to do more research before posting inflammatory accusations. To start the 5 year old was not kidnapped. His father ran away. The video was of the agents talking to the Mom. The father has yelled for her not to open the door as he ran away. The agents did not want to take the kid but again neither parent would.
Four questions to ask yourself
Is it illegal to stop a firefighter from putting out a fire?
Is it illegal to stop a paramedic from helping a hurt patient?
Is it illegal to stop a police officer from arresting someone?
Is it illegal to stop ICE from arresting someone?
The person hiding people in a freezer is a criminal.
What bullshit propaganda do you want to believe?
And why is ICE holding a 5-year-old US citizen?
Do you believe every moronic thing Noem says too?
“The agents did not want to take the kid”
God listen to yourself
What should worry you Mike is look how many agree with him, 16 agree-13 do not. Nazi’s flourished with far less supporters, imagine where this is heading. Even worse is so many say nothing, do nothing. I’ll now downvote this dumb ass but it’s still 16-14. Oh how The USA is collapsing at break neck speed.
been collapsing for decades. 9.11.01 was the kick in the mouth………by the blowback of our evil ways…………..50 state solution is coming as we go broke. i saw this in Russia in 1990s. glad i have experience. gets ugly for many. good luck all. i’ll tell you what is best to do, if you care to know. i had oligarch client on board of 500,000 workers oil company. the HQ board room was awesome. went to lots of the HQ of russian companies………the people in bars and clubs and day to day had lots of reactions. they young folks could handle it. over 40 lost their minds it seemed to me.
“I disagree with you, therefore you are a nazi.”
Me: I like pancakes.
Jack: So you’re saying waffles are eaten by murderers.
As has been said, Covid wrecked many people’s minds and Trump finished them off.
As a waffle enjoyer, I see I have bee negligent in my duties…
I think it’s enjoyerer. And waffles need that crispy goodness that can stand up to syrup.
Indeed… the wibbly moistness of the average flapjack surrenders immediately into a sweet, glutenous mush unfit for human consumption.
I don’t think there are as many as they make it seem like. They wouldn’t be so scared if there were.
It is also illegal to employ an undocumented person.
Yes, and there is also a government database employers can check called Real ID to see if the person they are hiring is legal. However, it is completely voluntary at the insistence of business interests, who want to be able to hire undocumented immigrants. Illegals are the perfect employee; willing to work for low wages, no overtime, no benefits.
I would wager if we made Real ID checks mandatory for employers, with significant penalties for non-compliance, it would do more to reduce illegal immigration than a fascist ICE paramilitary.
great. make everyone be a nazi. show me your papers before you cut lawn or clean my pool or clean my house.
I’m with you on this in spirit. It might nudge the D’s & R’s toward more thoroughly disclosing their interests. If we want our pools cleaned…certainly we’re paying cash to little Johnny down the street…avoids the whole nazi name calling.
It’s also illegal to do 99% of what the Grifter in Chief is doing.
do you proof all your maids or handimen ……….
The young man hiding his coworkers is a hero and Mark u r a nonsensical blind follower of the gestapo regime and its fascist propaganda
evil laws are made to be broken. always have been throughout time.
“Is it illegal to stop a paramedic from helping a hurt patient”?
ICE does this!
“Is it illegal to stop a police officer from arresting someone?”
If the arrest is illegal I think as an American citizen it is your DUTY to do whatever you can to stop the police. Recording the arrest is the main avenue to assist the innocent.
Miller cosplays as Joseph Goebbels, Minister of Propaganda. As this regime is revolutionary, it will not give one yard of territory willingly. Any statement about de-escalating is just a tactic to buy time while the propaganda is refined. This regime will NEVER willing concede power. Those looking forward to elections are deluded by their own optimism in failed institutions.
BINGO. hate the nazis in power. but i concur. the empire is over as we knew it. Trump MAGA for life. is in the cards.
I was worried we wouldn’t get a 3-star Mishelin post today but the day has been saved!
3-Star Mishelin award granted for excellent post and truthful journalism.
