Just Shuddup

Oh FFS, here’s another one piling on:

Wednesday on “CBS Mornings,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said “there’s a loss of public trust” in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) so some reforms are needed.

Paul said, “I think the nation and the country at large or large parts of the country, have lost trust. You know, I think there’s a loss of public trust in ICE and their officials after seeing what’s been going on in Minneapolis. I think there’s fault on both sides.”

And I think you have your head up your ass.

Item 1:  “Public trust”:  I would bet a considerable sum of money that the “public” — i.e. the people who voted for Trump and his agenda in their millions — have not lost trust in ICE. You’ve fallen prey to the Washington D.C. mindset of letting the constant drumbeat of opposition from the mainstream media cloud your thinking.

Item 2:  “Fault in both sides”:  Let’s allow, as you yourself have in the past, that there are tens of millions of illegal immigrants in the country right now, thanks to FuckJoeBiden’s “open borders” policy, people that need to be deported back to  Shitholia  their native countries with some alacrity.  Let’s also allow that Trump has directed ICE to concentrate on getting the worst of these illegals — the hardcore criminals;  the murderers, rapists, violent robbers and drug dealers — as their first priority.  As he has.

Now ask the question:  Did you think that this was going to be easy?  Did you think that these violent assholes were just going to submit meekly to ICE agents and comply with their lawful actions?  Of course they wouldn’t, and haven’t.  They’ve been resisting ICE with all their might — in one case, deserting his own 5-year-old child to make his escape — and at all stages, these criminals have been assisted in their resistance by the efforts of Marxist scum in (surprise, surprise) Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York.

Oh yeah, maybe ICE has lost the “public trust”, in those Marxist hellholes and strongholds.  In the rest of the country, where local law enforcement has been helping ICE remove the cancer?  Not so much.

Senator Paul, I generally have a great deal of respect for you — generally, not always, because sometimes you let your inner libertarian go a little too far.  As you did here.

So STFU, let law enforcement get on with their Augean task of cleaning our national stables of this scum and trash, and stop feeding our enemies — that would be the likes of CBS — with headlines that undermine our national purpose.

Quote Of The Day

An excellent analysis by this guy:

“Donald Trump is like a shark, in that he must always swim forward or risk suffocation. He, his administration and the media ecosystem that has grown up around Trump’s political persona depends upon action and controversy. In fallow news cycles, Trump steadily loses the initiative and two things happen:  First, the media establishment and the leftist activist machine begin gathering their own critical momentum.  Second, the vast MAGA-adjacent social media sphere must turn to other controversies to keep the clicks and the ad revenue flowing. Both of these work against the forty-seventh president and his purposes.”

Read the whole thing, because I can find no fault with his thesis.

No Voter Fraud?

Lost amidst all the stories of massive benefits fraud and fraudulent mass voting are the stories of mere individuals who’ve gamed the system, illegally of course.  Here’s one such example, sent to me by Alert Reader Mike L.:

A Colombian woman living illegally in Boston has been convicted of identity theft and voter fraud after living under a stolen identity for over 20 years.

In a news release from the Department of Justice, 59-year-old Lina Maria Orovio-Hernandez obtained a Massachusetts Real ID and eight other state IDs, fraudulently received over $400,000 in federal benefits, including rental assistance, Social Security, and SNAP benefits. She also used the stolen identity to cast a fraudulent ballot in the 2024 presidential election.

One’s immediate reaction to this incident might be to toss the bitch out of the country and ship her back to Shitholia.

I would disagree.

She needs to be incarcerated for at least twenty years — the period she lived here illegally — while working at a prison job that earns money which can be used to repay as much of the defrauded taxpayer money as possible.  Yeah, “slave labor”, cry me a river.

Assuming she’s still alive at this point, she should then be removed from jail and sent back to Shitholia — i.e. immediately escorted from the prison gate to a U.S. Marshals Service bus en route to a nearby airport and waiting plane.

And just to show that I’m not completely heartless, she can take the money she earned during the final month of her confinement back with her.

Cornerstone, Dislodged

Back in April last year, I noted that Lee Zeldin was taking aim at this piece of Obama-grade bullshit:

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin said that the agency will review the agency’s endangerment finding — the “holy grail of the climate change religion” that has created over a trillion dollars in regulatory impact. The finding stated that greenhouse gas emissions are an alleged threat to public health and welfare.

“Review”, was it?  Well now, lookee here:

President Trump is set to repeal an Obama-era climate finding that was the basis for federal greenhouse-gas regulation, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

Repealing the finding, which was a scientific determination that greenhouse gas emissions endanger human health, would remove the legal basis for greenhouse gas regulation, Reuters reported.

The repeal is expected to be published later this week, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said the repeal would be “the largest act of deregulation in the history of the United States.”

With the repeal, regulatory requirements to measure, report, certify, and comply with federal GHG emission standards for cars would be removed, administration officials told the Journal. However, the repeal would not apply to stationary sources such as power plants.

Time to get one of these precious things, methinks.
