Kash and Kristi of the most talented and impressive administration in history do Vegas F1 just like the regular folks, four days before the DC National Guard shooting on Wednesday

 

Straw Man Vance

 

Prioritizing Ukraine Over Your Own Country Is Bonkers

Vice President JD Vance, X

 

Hundreds of millions of dollars are presently being spent against Venezuela which hasn't attacked anybody, at least $5 billion was burned in the unsuccessful attempt to stop the Houthis in the Red Sea, Israel received close to $18 billion in help after 10/7, Operation Midnight Hammer against Iran alone cost several hundred million dollars, and DHS is going to burn through $170 billion over the next four years for immigration and border enforcement because of the Big Ugly Bill.

 

Recent Police State deployments of the National Guard to places like DC and LA have cost from $1-2 million per day.

 

America can do and does do many things at once, especially when it comes to spending money on "wars", whether foreign . . . or domestic. 

 

J. D. Vance is smart enough to know all that. He's just counting on fooling enough of the people who aren't. 

This looks like pretty sweet revenge for the Tucker Carlson-Nick Fuentes imbroglio: The Heritage Foundation has a released a report highly critical of Trump's deportation policy

"You tarnish us, we'll tarnish you. And after all we've done for you, too."

 

 ... Howell, a former Homeland Security official in the first Trump administration, criticizes the lack of data being shared by DHS to back up its claims that 600,000 deportations will be carried out by the end of the year. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the main agency responsible for these removals, has stopped publishing the monthly data to show this progress. There hasn't been a monthly release since Trump took office. "Without access to the data, it is impossible to ascertain how the DHS is supporting its varying claims of deportation and self-deportation numbers," the report says. ...

More.

Even at 600k per year, the Trump administration will fall short of removing 11 million illegal aliens by 8.6 million by the time it is over.

And they'll waste $85 billion while doing it.

"The American people voted for mass deportations. They're getting mass communications instead," the report's author Mike Howell tells Axios.

Paid liar for DHS Tricia McLaughlin reportedly has a husband who was awarded a megamultimilliondollar no-bid government marketing contract for . . . DHS!

I guess you can watch the propaganda films on Newsmax, which can't spell Affairs lol.

There is so much money to be made in government service with deals like this. It's why the politicians want to win. It's a giant skimming operation which enriches their appointees. No lasting policy achievements are necessary. 

 

Irony alert: Masked ICE, DHS, CBP employees who get to hide their identities roam the streets with facial recognition capability to gather images and fingerprints of citizens

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

 

You thought you were voting for deportations of illegals, and you got an Obama-style police state instead.

If you see ICE, CBP, DHS on the street, turn around and go the other way, and vote against these bastards.

You Can't Refuse To Be Scanned by ICE's Facial Recognition App, DHS Document Says

... On Wednesday 404 Media reported that both ICE and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) are scanning peoples’ faces in the streets to verify citizenship. 

... The app can also scan peoples’ fingerprints and provide information based on those, and uploads location data “so ICE can identify where the encounter took place.”

“Although the intended purpose of the Mobile Fortify Application is to identify aliens who are removable from the United States, users may use Mobile Fortify to collect information in identifiable form about individuals regardless of citizenship or immigration status. It is conceivable that a photo taken by an agent using the Mobile Fortify mobile application could be that of someone other than an alien, including U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents,” the document continues.

... “By using the Mobile Fortify app to provide real-time responses to biometric queries, ICE officers and agents can reduce the time and effort to identify targets compared to existing manual processes,” the document says.

ICE Barbie lies about citizen arrests in immigration sweeps

 

Ministry of Truth: DHS propaganda videos routinely lie about chaos in American cities to prepare the people for active duty military deployments, paid liar admits it was only in a few lol

DHS paid liar Tricia McLaughlin says they lie in less than 2% of hundreds of propaganda videos

 

 Trump administration uses misleading videos to portray chaos, push deportations

The Department of Homeland Security posted a swaggering montage to social media in August declaring it had triumphed in its takeover of Washington, D.C. It showed footage of federal agents fighting what a DHS official called a “battle for the soul of our nation” and working “day and night to arrest, detain and deport vicious criminals from our nation’s capital.”  

There was one problem. Several of the clips had been recorded during unrelated operations months earlier, in Los Angeles and West Palm Beach, Florida. The official’s sound bite about deportations in D.C. played over a clip from May showing detainees on a Coast Guard boat off the coast of Nantucket, the Massachusetts island 400 miles away.

Officials in President Donald Trump’s administration have used similarly misleading footage in at least six videos promoting its immigration agenda shared in the last three months, a Washington Post analysis found, muddying the reality of events in viral clips that have been viewed millions of times.

Some videos that purported to show the fiery chaos of Trump-targeted cities included footage from completely different states. One that claimed to show dramatic examples of past administrations’ failures instead featured border crossings and smuggling boats recorded during Trump’s first term. 

The Post provided DHS a detailed list of videos featuring misleading footage. DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin did not dispute the errors or explain what had happened but said the videos were a small percentage of the more than 400 that the agency has posted this year. ... 

A White House video claiming Chicago was “in chaos,” which used footage from other states, has been viewed more than 1.4 million times across Instagram, TikTok and X. ...

But the pattern of misleading clips in their news-style videos amount to more than just minor editing errors, said Eddie Perez, a former director for civic integrity at Twitter, now called X. Instead, they suggest that the administration has worked to undercut criticism by pumping out videos that could deceive Americans about the scale or success of their policies, transforming government channels into propaganda tools. 

“What we are witnessing is the collapse of government accountability through communication based on facts,” he said. “They’re not trying to communicate actions and outcomes. They’re acting like filmmakers, trying to make people laugh, to make them feel scared, to inspire certain emotions regardless of the truth.” ... 

 

 

Incompetent ICE is full of sound and fury, signifying nothing: DHS estimates only 600,000 to be deported by the end of Trump II's first year, and even some of that is phony

They're wasting their time, energy, and taxpayer billion$ tracking down individuals when they should be cracking down on the employers, but that would take a native intelligence which Trump administration morons like Stephen Miller do not possess.

They're also alienating and energizing the opposition at the grass roots all across the country to turn out and vote against them in November 2026, which is one of the most politically stupid moves of these dunderheads to date.

It's almost like they're being paid by George Soros to do it. 

Reported here:

... The Department of Homeland Security says that it has deported more than 400,000 people since Mr. Trump took office, and that it expects to deport 600,000 in total by the end of Mr. Trump’s first year in office.

Still, those numbers are slightly misleading. The Trump administration counts people who are turned back at the border and other ports of entry as “deportations,” even though they have never lived inside the United States.

 

Earlier this year, Stephen Miller, Mr. Trump’s deputy chief of staff, met with senior ICE leaders in Washington and discussed ways to pick up the pace of enforcement. Soon after, he appeared on Fox News and said the agency would try to hit a goal of 3,000 arrests a day.

 

Since the summer, the agency has typically arrested more than 1,000 people a day. ...

 

Three more years of 1,000 people a day would amount to just over 1 million deportees, out of 11 million or more illegals in country. 

So far, the Trump administration is projected to have spent about $71,000 on each one of the ~50,000 deported per month to date

H.R. 1 passed in July allocates $170 billion to DHS for immigration and border enforcement over four years.

In September DHS said over 400,000 had been deported since January 20th.

So in eight months that's 50,000 deported per month at a cost of $3.542 billion per month, or $70,833 per person deported. 

It would have been far cheaper to cut illegals off at the source, by going after their employers instead of going after each and every illegal employee.

But that would have been a really bad look, in a country where the employer can do no wrong and the full time job is the summum bonum. 

The red meat of the current deportation theatre is far more useful to Trump as politics. It must be thrown daily to keep the base energized, the warriors busy, and the emperor in the spotlight. 

"Boy, that Trump is really doing a great job! Look at that! He got another one!". 

Nevermind that the best he'll ever do like this is 2.4 million deportees, when we've got many millions more than that. The easy pickings are soon to be exhausted, if they aren't already. And it will only get harder from here.

Remember that just a few months ago the goal was 3,000 deportees per day, or 4.38 million in four years. The goalposts have already been moved, and they'll no doubt be moved again. We're down to 1,666 per day on their own accounting.

That's how you know this is not serious. 

The spectacle is the whole point. 

 

What Kristi Noem's "allergic reaction" incident did was focus attention on yet another lab shutdown at Fort Detrick, apparently on-going since April 29th

What we have here is a DHS secretary who on her own admission can be incapacitated by an allergic reaction, which doesn't seem very "secure" to me.

Maybe we need someone else on the job.

And what we also have here is yet more drama from the actors at Fort Detrick. Somebody needs to clean that place up once and for all, or shut it down permanently.

Will that someone be RFK Jr.? 

 

 Kristi Noem discharged from hospital as ICE Barbie's sudden illness sparks conspiracy theories

... According to its website, the Integrated Research Facility at Fort Detrick studies viruses 'causing high-consequence disease' like like Ebola or COVID.

One of its major focus areas is to 'mitigate major public heath events related to emerging or re-emerging infectious diseases or biological weapons attacks.'

But Kennedy's Department of Health and Human Services ordered an indefinite work stoppage at the facility in April.

'NIH has implemented a research pause—referred to as a safety stand-down—at the Integrated Research Facility at Fort Detrick,' HHS officials said at the time.

'This decision follows identification and documentation of personnel issues involving contract staff that compromised the facility’s safety culture, prompting this research pause.'

They added: 'During the stand-down, no research will be conducted, and access will be limited to essential personnel only, to safeguard the facility and its resources.' 

Dr Connie Schmaljohn, the lab's director, was also placed on administrative leave after she allegedly failed to report the incident to other officials. 

Speaking anonymously, an HHS source revealed to Fox News that the shutdown came after one of the researchers poked a hole in the other's protective equipment during a vicious 'lovers' spat'. ... 

 

Lying whopper from Newsweek, says Fort Detrick was created and built by DHS as a federal response to anthrax letter attacks in 2001

 I mean, holy crap.

The 2001 anthrax letter attacks CAME from anthrax STORED at Fort Detrick, which was the government's bioweapons research facility from way back in 1943 during WWII, until it became politically suicidal to say that and they snapped their fingers and presto!, it became a biodefense research facility.

The researcher there responsible for the anthrax attacks committed suicide as investigators finally got close to him.

James Comey and Robert Mueller infamously tried to frame the wrong guy for the crime. You know those guys, the guys who relentlessly went after Donald Trump. 

DHS didn't even exist until March 2003.

I mean, c'mon Newsweek.

Fort Detrick is also suspiciously close to the location of a facility where elderly people came down with an unknown respiratory illness and died in summer 2019, which I think might have been a precursor to COVID-19. Most people now believe the Chicom lab at Wuhan was the lab from which coronavirus leaked, but I think Fort Detrick and Wuhan were cooperating at the time because bioweapons research was technically forbidden in the USA but they farmed it out to Wuhan on the sly, perhaps through Peter Daszak and Ecohealth-Alliance which got grants connected with Anthony Fauci. I speculate something leaked into the USA in summer 2019 from Fort Detrick.

There is plenty of anecdotal evidence from people in America and abroad that there was a very severe flu-like illness already on the loose in the second half of 2019 which they commonly describe as the worst flu they ever had. 

Meanwhile Fort Detrick has been perennially notorious for failing inventory protocols for the HAZMAT stored there, for shoddy maintenance and record keeping, and for leaking waste water into the local environment.

That ICE Barbie fell ill after a visit to Fort Detrick is really one hell of a coincidence.

Anti-democratic airhead DHS Secretary ICE Barbie says Feds are in LA to liberate it from duly elected governor and mayor

 

 We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialist and burdensome leadership that this governor and this mayor have imposed.

 

Imagine if the Democrats interfered like this in Wyoming or West Virginia. Republicans would throw a fit like they're doing in LA. 

It's a good thing she's not president or the nuclear football would be gone, too

 

Now the Trump administration is imitating the most odious revolutionary rhetoric of the Obama administration

 

WH's Karoline Leavitt: Trump "Is Fundamentally Transforming Our Country For The Better"

 

We are fundamentally transforming our country for the better, truly restoring our government, the 27-year old know-nothing says, when they're actually gutting it. 

These people all think they're so smart.

 

They think they're cutting something down to size which is already on its knees. Federal employment today has hardly been lower as a percentage of civilian population in the post-war. The low point was achieved already in 2018. The Leviathan State is a complete myth.

 

If Trump truly restored our government, he'd be hiring dramatically, not firing. 

For all of Trump’s and Musk’s talk of efficiency, their policies will likely slow down the government. The state needs capacity to perform core tasks, such as collecting revenue, taking care of veterans, tracking weather, and ensuring that travel, medicine, food, and workplaces are safe. But Trump seems intent on pushing more employees to leave and making the civil service more political and an even less inviting job option. He bullies federal employees, labeling them as “crooked” and likening their removal to “getting rid of all the cancer.” A smaller, terrified, and politicized public workforce will not be an effective one.

To start, let’s dispense with the notion that the government is too big. It is not. As a share of the workforce, federal employment has declined in the past several decades. Civilian employees represent about 1.5 percent of the population and account for less than 7 percent of total government spending. According to the nonpartisan Partnership for Public Service, seven out of 10 civilian employees work in organizations that deal with national security, including departments—such as Veterans Affairs and Homeland Security—that the public supports.

The reality is that the federal government has long faced a human-capital crisis. ...

The country is $36 trillion in debt because it is not taxing enough, and hasn't been taxing enough since Ronald Reagan. We pretend we can borrow to infinity for what we want, but we can't afford it all anymore. That is why they're surrendering to Putin, and taking a meat cleaver to DC.

This is not a serious country, otherwise a South African wouldn't be running it.

 

 

 

 

 

Illegal aliens invited by Democrat scoundrels as reported by US Customs and Border Protection has been an historic invasion: ~ 14 million

 Biden-Harris have let in at the very least 4 million of these, counting the minimum estimate of gotaways who have overwhelmed the ridiculous system and the known parolees. The largest standing army in the world is China's at 2 million.

 

 Nearly three million foreign nationals illegally entered or attempted entry into the U.S. in fiscal 2024, according to data published by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

The total reported nationwide was 2,901,142, with 198,929 reported at the northern border and 2,135,005 reported at the southwest border.

The data includes Border Patrol apprehensions between ports of entry, CBP encounters at ports of entry, and Office of Field Operations apprehensions nationwide.

CBP’s fiscal 2024 data, which covers Oct. 1, 2023, through Sept. 1, 2024, is the second highest reported under the Biden-Harris administration and second highest in U.S. history.

The highest total reported in U.S. history was more than 3.2 million in fiscal 2023, followed by fiscal 2024, fiscal 2022’s more than 2.76 million and fiscal 2021’s 1.95 million.

When subtracting the first three months of fiscal 2021, which occurred during the Trump administration, the number drops to 1,684,116.

No other administration has reported totals as high as these.

Combined, CBP apprehension/encounter data under the Biden-Harris administration totals 10,552,984.

This total excludes more than 2 million who illegally entered and evaded capture, known as gotaways.

CBP does not publicly report gotaway data.

The Center Square first reported gotaway data in 2021 after receiving it from a Border Patrol agent.

Retired CBP officials say the number is higher because gotaway data is underreported by about 20%.

The total also excludes 1,383,000 inadmissables released into the U.S. through two parole programs created by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

This includes more than 852,000 illegal foreign nationals processed and released into the country through the CBP One App and more than 531,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans deemed inadmissible and released into the country through the CHNV parole program, according to CBP data. ...

The parole total also excludes the number of illegal foreign nationals released into the country through at least another 10 programs Mayorkas created. Federal judges ruled the parole programs are illegal; House Republicans cited them as examples of illegal actions for which they impeached Mayorkas in February. ...

Under the Biden-Harris administration, a record 518,524 illegal border crossers were reported at the northern border, excluding gotaways, the highest in U.S. history.

-- Bethany Blankley, "Nearly 3 million illegal border crossers reported in fiscal 2024: Roughly 14 million under Biden-Harris administration, most in US history"

The Harris-Biden messaging is in complete disarray: Kamala boasts right now about spending millions to aid Lebanon, which harbors Israel's enemies, while her own DHS Secretary is warning FEMA is running out of money for hurricanes

 And Mayorkas couldn't care less about FEMA running out of money or the suffering in the Southeast. He went clothes shopping on Saturday.

This administration excels at in-your-face bad optics in addition to doing a horrible job.

The Harris-Biden M/O: Create an illegal alien emergency through asylum gimmick, redirect emergency funds meant for hurricanes to communities overrun with foreigners, run out of money when hurricanes hit, blame Republicans

 

Meanwhile White House senior deputy press secretary Andrew Bates is getting some much needed help from new hire Tyler Cherry who was communications director for Deb Haaland at Interior

 

 I'm sure Joe knows all about this guy lol:

"Praying for #Baltimore, but praying even harder for an end to a capitalistic police state motivated by explicit and implicit racial biases," Cherry posted in 2015 amid riots that were sparked following the death of Freddie Gray, a Black man, in police custody in Baltimore.

"Apt (sic.) time to recall that the modern day police system is a direct evolution of slave patrols and lynch mobs," he stated in a separate post months later.

In 2018, Cherry called for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Homeland Security Department agency tasked with preventing cross-border crime and illegal immigration, to be abolished.

Cherry was also posting support for "Palestine" on social media in 2014 during the Gaza War in which Palestinian forces, led by the radical Iran-backed terrorist group Hamas, launched hundreds of rockets into Israel, sparking a forceful Israeli response that involved airstrikes and a ground invasion.

"Cheersing in bars to ending the occupation of Palestine — no shame and f--- your glares #ISupportGaza #FreePalestine," Cherry said on July 25, 2014, in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Cherry also has a history of criticizing Republicans on social media, including in 2017 when he said that conservatives in the Republican Party were focused on "white grievance politics."

"The Tea Party was never about the debt/deficit but about racism and white grievance politics," he wrote on X.

Update:

Compromise spending bill passes US House 286-134 bringing fiscal year 2024 federal discretionary spending to $1.659 trillion through September

 WASHINGTON — The House voted 286-134 on Friday to pass a sweeping $1.2 trillion government funding bill, sending it to the Senate just hours before the deadline to prevent a shutdown. ...

The bill, released early Thursday, funds the departments of Homeland Security, State, Labor, Defense, Health and Human Services and various other agencies. Together with the $459 billion bill passed earlier this month, it fully funds the federal government to the tune of $1.659 trillion through September, after months of stopgap bills and negotiations.

More here.

The Roll Call Vote is here, if you want to check how your representative voted. 

The argument is perennially NOT about deficit spending, but deficit spending on WHAT. 

The projected tax shortfall for all programs for fiscal 2024 is $1.582 trillion, more than half of which will be net interest expense of $0.870 trillion on the exploding national debt. Interest payments on what we have already borrowed now exceed defense outlays of $0.822 trillion.

CBO in early February estimated fiscal 2024 discretionary spending at $1.739 trillion, so today's bill "saves" a mere $80 billion off that.

Mandatory spending on Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, etc. is estimated at $3.908 trillion for fiscal 2024.

It's obvious that spending should be cut and taxes raised, but no one has the courage for either.

They should just agree to do both and let the chips fall where they may. Everyone out here will be pissed, vote accordingly, and it would be a wash politically.

Current national debt is $34.5612 trillion and rising.

Alejandro Mayorkas finally impeached 214-213 for failing to keep out 6 million illegal aliens since 2020

 House Republicans have impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas in a contentious vote Tuesday evening, making the Biden administration official the first Cabinet member to be removed in nearly 150 years. ...

Three Republicans joined all Democrats in rejecting the articles of impeachment: Reps. Ken Buck (R-CO), Mike Gallagher (R-WI), and Tom McClintock (R-CA). They were the same three as last week’s failed vote, but the return of Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) from cancer treatment tipped the math against Mayorkas on Tuesday. ...

Since Biden took office, more than 7.5 million illegal immigrants have been encountered attempting to enter the United States, and 6 million of that figure entered illegally between ports of entry, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data. The Biden figure far exceeds the number of illegal immigrants encountered during the Trump administration’s four years and the Obama administration’s eight years combined.
