every single day incredible points are made here & elsewhere by ordinary people that absolutely eviscerate the arguments of those in power, & these same obvious points are never put to those in power by the army of journalists who nevertheless act like they are some kind of noble check on that power

A top staffer to MN Sen. Tina Smith emailed this Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers.
Stop the gratuitous hate!

It works like this, you look the ICE agent right in the face, cell phone in hand and say
"Identify yourself as a real officer."
Then you say, "badge number and serial number" because they are playing dumb. Start dialing emergency services. If they refuse two times you call 911 and say, "there is a man here impersonating a cop and he has a gun."
Someone was assassinated by a fake cop. Time for ICE to stop hiding behind the masks. We need to learn who they are.

Name & Call Sign (mine was
C-178, said Charlie 178).
Border Patrol, ICE and CBP do not have badge #s or serial #S.

My wife saw this. If you do this, be sure to ask the correct questions to identify the immigration enforcement agents. They will use the fact that you likely don’t know the right questions to ask to justify not telling you. No, I am not joking.

He didn't send the National Guard because he was the one who incited that insurrection.
He is happily sending in the National Guard now to sow division, create chaos, and declare martial law...
He is the enemy from within and he cares not for America or her states or her people or the Constitution!

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage.

Just do it.

Something worth noting is how the press is leaning into the framing that what’s happening in LA is a both sides issue or that they are riots. Even when the LAPD is saying it’s under control, suddenly for the first time in their lives the press is willing to ignore them

β€œOne more question, sir. You wrote a book about the former president's cognitive issues, but the current president posted that the former president was executed in 2020 and replaced by a mindless, soulless robot with cancer. What am I missing here?”
