Ice shoots another person in Chicago and also attacks a Rabbi

Remember when you could protest in America?  This:


In Broadview on Friday, during an appearance by Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, federal agents confronted and pushed protesters outside the immigration facility, leading to a standoff and demonstration that lasted several hours.


Tramp wants to make a public appearance but tramp doesn't want to be protested.  Like Elaine asked this morning, "Remember when we had rights in this country?"  The paragraph in bold is from a NEW YORK TIMES report by  Julie Bosman, Hamed Aleaziz and Robert Chiarito which details an ICE agent shooting motorist Marimar Martinez in Chicago. 


Tramp Kristi Noem has posted, "If you see a law enforcement officer today, thank them."


The implied part of the statement, this being Tramp Kristi, is, of course, "with your mouth.  The way I do Cory -- it's how Cory and I maintain our happy marriages to others."  


The city didn't ask them in, the city doesn't want them in.  Why don't they take a hint and leave instead of causing all this chaos?  


Tom Schuba, Cindy Hernandez, Selena Kuznikov, Michael Puente, Mary Norkol and Kade Heather (CHICAGO SUN-TIMES) report:


Rabbi Michael Ben Yosef, a frequent attendee at protests, was among those detained. Video shows a few state troopers pinning him to the ground and detaining him about 7:30 p.m. near Lexington and 25th. He was charged with misdemeanor resisting arrest.

Yosef said he was holding a microphone and leading chants on a sidewalk when an ISP trooper started pushing protesters out of the way and approached Yosef.

“It was like I had no time to react, and next thing I know I was grabbed, they locked my arms and the other [troopers] came with him and threw me to the ground, pinned me down,” Yosef said about two hours later after he was released.

“All I saw was just the ground, and I saw sideways. I couldn’t see nothing. It was like I was literally trapped,” he said, adding that he was on his stomach as three troopers knelt on his back.

“I couldn’t resist. I was like crushed,” he said.


Again, get the hell out.   You're causing the problem.  Would ICE work better if Krisit weren't sleeping with her second in command?  After THE NEW YORK POST reported on the affair in 2023, that should have prevented a working relationship in this administration. 


 In other government news, Adam Gabbat (GUARDIAN) reports:


A senior White House official accidentally leaked details of plans to send an elite army unit to Portland, in the latest intelligence leak by the Trump administration.

Anthony Salisbury, a top deputy to Stephen Miller, the influential White House policy adviser, was observed using Signal in a public place to discuss a plan to deploy the army’s 82nd airborne division to Portland, the Democratic-run Oregon city which Donald Trump has repeatedly castigated as being “war-ravaged”.

The Minnesota Star Tribune obtained images of Salisbury’s Signal messages, which it said were sent while the official was “in clear view of others” in Minnesota.

In the messages, sent last weekend, Salisbury chatted with Patrick Weaver, a senior adviser to the US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, and other high-ranking federal officials, the Star Tribune reported.

Weaver wrote that Hegseth wanted Trump to expressly tell him to send troops to Portland.

“Between you and I, I think Pete just wants the top cover from the boss if anything goes sideways with the troops there,” Weaver said. He wrote that Hegseth would prefer to send in the national guard due to potential backlash over using the army.

“82nd is like our top tier [quick reaction force] for abroad. So it will cause a lot of headlines,” he added. “Probably why he wants potus [Trump] to tell him to do it.”

Moving over to  Speaker of the Closet Mike Johnson who continues refusing to seat the newest member of Congress.  On Tuesday of last week, Adelita Grijalva was elected to the House of Representatives.  She has still not been sworn in.  AP reports:


Grijalva's presence, once she is sworn in, would narrow the margins and give Democrats, in the minority, more power as they confront Trump and the GOP agenda.

House Speaker Mike Johnson says it's “standard practice” to swear in new members once the House is in session, and Grijalva is expected to be sworn in when the chamber resumes business next week. But two Republican congressmen who were elected earlier this year in special elections were sworn in a day after winning their seats, and when the House was not in session.

He's such a liar.  Were Abba still together, they'd have to re-record "Dancing Queen" as "Lying Queen" in his honor.  

He can swear in Jimmy Patronis and Randy Fine while Congress isn't in session but not Grijalva?  I guess Mike Johnson will do anything to stand close to a man.  Below, you can see him mincing with Patronis. 





Below he's refusing to let go of Randy Fine's hand.  




Now what's the story about Mike Johnson being on Grindr?  Remind me again.

 




Now let's move to something else.  Zohran Mamdani.


About 30 of his groupies have been e-mailing.  We're done with your e-mails.  I don't like being falsely accused.  And not for the reason some might think.  I can be criticized, I don't care about that.  I do care that if someone tells me, "You did this!,"  my immediate response is not, "No, I didn't."  No, I'll spend forever wondering did  I do that?  Did I do something similar?  And then after too much time second guessing myself, I'll find out that the person is lying.  And then I'll be so mad at myself -- this happens over and over and always has throughout my life -- for not having faith in myself, for immediately believing any bad thing about myself.  And I'm not into that.  I'm tired too.  I'm giving everything I have and I don't have time for your lies.


Zohran?


"You won't endorse him!"


No, I won't.  And I didn't endorse Blasio in a prior election and I like and know Blasio.  Why didn't I endorse him?  I don't endorse in elections that I can't vote in.  I'm not in NYC.  


I firmly believe that Kavanaugh would not be on the Supreme Court were it not for Dianne Feinstein and her plotting and scheming that she thought was clever and hidden but that we all saw.  She was a raving idiot.  That was true during the Roberts confirmation hearing and the Alito confirmation hearing and I've shared how Ted Kennedy and I talked about how stupid DiFi was.  How she would interrupt in those hearings when someone else was speaking -- including Ted who was working up to a huge point when DiFi interrupted him in the middle of the hearing.  


Amy Suskind?  Is that her name?  The McCain supporter?  If I don't like you I will struggle tor emember your name.  And I don't like her.  (I like Ari Mebler but usually refer to him only as Ari here because I have to pause to differentiate him from Ari Berman since both were at THE NATION at the same time.) 

Amy does not live or vote in California.  It's not her damn business.  

But we had a chance to get rid of DiFi.  Finally.  


But then Amy other useless people began screaming and attacking.  This is going to give the race to the Republicans!  2018 would see a Republican elected to the Senate from California!  Dianne would lose to any Republican running against her!


No, she wouldn't.  But didn't real outlets print -- or web post -- Amy Idiot's nonsense?


For the record, in the 2018 general election the two candidates for US Senate on the California ballot were Dianne and Kevin Leon.

Both Democrats.

We're not like whatever state Amy lives in.  I had to explain that over and over here in 2018 as one person after in national media kept attacking Leon and insisting people rally to DiFi.  I shouldn't have to waste my time on that.  It's not like the SOFA with Iraq, it wasn't that complicated.  I had to explain the SOFA over and over and, woops, we were right and so many of you were wrong.  Mainly because you didn't read and also because you didn't have the background.  But, damn, didn't you go on TV and show up in print and online telling us what the SOFA was while failing to even grasp the obvious that it was replacing UN mandate -- which was yearly -- you didn't understand that, you didn't understand how hard it was for Nouri to sell that to the Iraqi people every year.  


You didn't know what you were talking about.  


There are a ton of things that I know nothing about and you don't see me tackling them here.  When I tackle something news, I've done huge research.  I've read.  I've contacted friends who are experts on the topic and asked them to walk me through.  I have verbalized my understanding to make sure that I am getting it.  


But here's Idiot Amy sticking her nose in an election she can't vote in and getting everything wrong.  Dianne faced no Republican opponent in the general election.  

So, no, I'm not able to vote and I don't endorse if I can't vote.


Martha noted this e-mail from ____ to the public account, "You worship Chuck Schumer and you defend him all the time!  That's why you won't support Zo!  And to tell us to shut up?  You're part of the Zionist claque!"  


Last Friday is what the e-mailer is referring to and it is this specifically:

If someone doesn't want to endorse him, they shouldn't.  And people should shut up about Chuck Schumer.  If Chuck doesn't want to endorse him, that's fine.

First off, I'm not a Chuck Schumer super fan.  When the shutdown's over?  I'm going to argue that Chuck needs to step down as minority leader.  And I'll discuss why.  It's not that complicated.  Leaders need to do certain things and he's not really doing them.  I'm not go into it during the shutdown.  


I like Chuck but he's made clear it's time for him to step down.  The e-mailer loves Zohran -- or 'Zo' -- and maybe loves blinded him to reality?


Zohran is trying to win the office of mayor.  He's reaching out for voters.  If you support him, you should be reaching out for voters.


But, hey, stupid, when you make all your noise regarding his campaign about how Chuck or some other Democrat hasn't endorsed him, how do you think that helps him?

Because he needs to persuade and woo undecided voters.  Do you really think every day griping that Kirsten or Chuck or whomever hasn't endorsed him makes an undecided voter go, "Oh, party leaders aren't endorsing him!  I guess I can trust him!"  No, you fool, what you're doing is emphasizing something -- over and over -- that says to undecided voters, "There may be something wrong with this guy if the party's Senate leader isn't going to endorse him."  


Truly, learn to shut up.  It can be freeing and a gift.  I never have a problem saying, "You know, that's really not an area I know much on so you can share your thoughts but I don't really have anything to add."


Instead, you've made such an issue out of it that Cuomo's team is thinking about doing a TV ad noting NY Democrats who aren't endorsing Zohran and asking why that is


If that happens, that's on you.  You didn't know how to shut your damn mouths.
