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.
Trump directs nuclear weapons testing to resume for first time in over 30 years
... No country except North Korea has conducted a nuclear test explosion in this century, according to the Arms Control Association (ACA) - and even Pyongyang announced a moratorium in 2018.
... The US-based ACA ... estimates ... America's nuclear stockpile sits at about 5,225 warheads, while Russia has approximately 5,580.
... "Trump is misinformed and out of touch," Daryl G Kimball, executive director of the ACA, wrote on X. "The US has no technical, military, or political justification for resuming nuclear explosive testing for the first time since 1992."
"Trump will trigger strong public opposition in Nevada, from all US allies, and it could trigger a chain reaction of nuclear testing by US adversaries, and blow apart the nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, " Mr Kimball added. ...
Meanwhile those liberal fanatics at the American Enterprise Institute have really gone off the deep end in their Trump derangement.
... Here's a reform that would change everything: You can only donate to candidates and political organizations in the state where you are registered to vote.
Not where you own property. Not where you have business interests. Not where you "care deeply" about the issues. Where you are registered to vote – the place where you've committed to being a citizen and living with the consequences of governance.
This single rule would fundamentally reshape American politics.
... Change the incentives by changing where the money comes from, and you change what kind of people can succeed in politics – and what kind of Congress they create.
It's time to return politics to the people who actually have to live with the results.
Lindsay Mark Lewis, here.
Trump is not allowed to stop spending money which was lawfully appropriated by the Congress for specific purposes, or to spend it on other things, but that's exactly what he's doing anyway.
He's illegally taxing every American with his tariffs under a phony emergency power granted him by our servile Congress.
He's not allowed to shake down and detain citizens on the pretext that they may be illegally present, but that's exactly what he's done. He's made a mockery of citizenship.
He's not allowed to search without a warrant, but he's doing it anyway. You let him do it every time you fly, so what's the big deal if now he's invading homes and businesses without warrants in search of illegal aliens? You don't care.
He uses his bully pulpit literally to bully people, to suppress their speech. He threatens investigations of his opponents, and makes good on them with actual probes and charges. Some in Congress admit they are afraid of him.
No one made him the judge, jury, and executioner, but that's who he thinks he is. He is in fact murdering non-combatants pure and simple every day, and Pete Hegseth and Marco Rubio are his accomplices, as is the U.S. military, to its everlasting shame.
Trump is the greatest . . . violator of civil rights and the rule of law since Lincoln.
He's made an ass of the law.
He's flooded the zone with illegality, impropriety, personal corruption, crime, and ugliness.
And Congress just lets him. The courts just let him. The people just let him.
They all just shrug. They're the French, and he's their Napoleon.

| 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.
Maybe that all-volunteer-army idea wasn't such a great one after all.

Trump Says He Is Prepared to Send ‘More Than the National Guard’ Into U.S. Cities
... “We have cities that are troubled, we can’t have cities that are troubled,” Mr. Trump said. “And we’re sending in our National Guard, and if we need more than the National Guard, we’ll send more than the National Guard, because we’re going to have safe cities.” ...
The president delivered his speech on the U.S.S. George Washington, an aircraft carrier docked south of Tokyo, at an American military base in Japan that was set up in the aftermath of World War II. It was an unsubtle show of force as Mr. Trump prepares to meet China’s top leader, Xi Jinping, this week, for talks that hold great stakes for the global economy. ...
Nick Fuentes Says He Was ‘Radicalized on Race’ by Listening To Mark Levin
... I was listening to Mark Levin’s show. This goes to show how normie I was. I listened to him every day. In high school, yes. I was a fan. I loved his show. I actually liked how he was kind of obnoxious and mean to his callers, vicious, and I liked that. I thought that was funny.
But I’ll never forget one show, he goes live and he says, “America is becoming a majority non-white country. Does anybody think that’s a good idea?” And I was thinking to myself, yeah that actually doesn’t sound so good. I didn’t even really think that America’s becoming majority minority like that. ...
The climate alarmist New York Times isn't having it, here:
... In a lengthy memo released Tuesday, Mr. Gates sought to tamp down the alarmism he said many people use to describe the effects of rising temperatures. Instead, he called for redirecting efforts toward improving lives in the developing world. ...
While he called climate change “a very important problem” that needs to be solved, he said that “the doomsday outlook is causing much of the climate community to focus too much on near-term emissions goals.” And that was “diverting resources from the most effective things we should be doing to improve life in a warming world,” he wrote.
The world is warming faster than at any point in recorded history. Last year was the hottest on record. Scientists warn that unless countries make a rapid shift away from burning fossil fuels, the planet is likely to experience extreme weather and other changes faster than humans can adapt. Low-lying island nations are already seeing their land disappearing under rising seas caused by melting glaciers and polar ice sheets. An estimated 62,775 people died from heat in Europe last year. ...
The Times, true to its MO of lying by omission, ignores the science, which shows that in this age of supposedly extreme global warming cold still kills for more people than heat ever does, nine cold deaths for every one heat death:
... In most epidemiological studies, excess cold deaths far outnumber heat deaths. In that same global analysis, of the 9·4% attributable temperature-related deaths, 8·5% (range 6·2–10·5%) were cold-related and only 0·9% (range 0·6–1·4%) were heat-related,2 which corresponds to approximately 4·6 million deaths from cold and about 489 000 from heat, a ratio of roughly 9:1 of cold versus heat. ...
