Donald J. Trump 2 O @realDonaldTrump If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. Will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, "guns-a-blazing," to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities. I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians!

One night recently, I got a Signal message
Would I be interested in seeing an internal Trump admin memo?
I said yes (duh). Then, I couldnโt believe what I was looking at.
The memo shows how the VA is making access to health coverage header for just one group:
Male vets w/ breast cancerโฆ.
Another crucial thing to know about a plan like this is that ICE has over 7 million people on its โnon-detainedโ docket โ people who it knows about and believes are removable. Many are currently in some sort of process, but over a million have final orders already, so are high priority for arrest.
01.11.2025 16:03 โ ๐ 145 ๐ 33 ๐ฌ 5 ๐ 0A deeply disturbing plan, but one thing important to clarify here is that these contracts would be for skiptracing, i.e. establishing locations, and NOT for carrying out arrests.
So this would not see private contractors grabbing people โ although it could mean contractors surveilling immigrants.
In Albany Park, they fired pepper-spray balls and arrested U.S. citizens.
In Evanston, a weapon was repeatedly pointed at protesters.
They grabbed workers in Hoffman Estates, landscapers.
And house painters and laborers in Edison Park, Skokie and Niles.
โFeels like state-sponsored terror."
These seem to be the three legs to the Trump regime's political stool, if you consider Trump, Vought, and Miller as the three centers of power:
Corruption (Trump)
Extreme conservative ideology (Vought)
Fascism (Miller)

Evidently there was an Auschwitz-themed float in a Halloween parade in Pennsylvania.
The float was for a Catholic school, and to their credit the church immediately disavowed it.
Thing is, I donโt think high school kids did this entirely on their own. Iโm guessing parents had to be involved.
Ben Shapiroโs career is proof that you can say almost anything you want about Arabs and Muslims and never face even a hint of consequences for it.

CULTURE TRENDS SNAP beneficiaries threaten to ransack stores over government shutdown One mother claims taxpayers must feed her children as SNAP benefits face cuts By Alba Cuebas-Fantauzzi โข Fox News Published October 31, 2025 2:16pm EDT
So there were some AI-generated videos that purported to show Black women ranting about SNAP benefits, and... Fox News is reporting on this like these are real people. They're not! They're AI!
This is truly insane. Total unreality. www.foxnews.com/media/snap-b...

It's fun that she can read now, because she read this no soliciting sign and then turned and looked at me like she wasn't supposed to knock for candy given the sign.
