There is a direct correlation between the accelerated decline of American civilization over the past forty years and the rise of the outsized influence of unenlightened and supercilious liberal women.

Internet Famous

Sep 7, 2025 Chris Johnson

It couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person. The story:

At a Phillies game, the batter hit a home run to the center field grandstands. A gaggle of people were there attempting to catch or get the ball. A father picked the ball up off the ground, took it over to his son, and placed it in his son’s glove.

Standard feel good moment at baseball games. The sort of thing that leaves a lasting memory for a young man.

Except these aren’t normal times.

Karen took offense because the ball had touched her fingers. In her mind this made the ball hers.  She came over to the family—father, son, and mother—and got in Dad’s face, screaming at him that the ball was hers. Dad argues for a moment, then takes the ball from his son to give to the lady to make her go away.

This was on the big screen and broadcast on NBC. She was instantly Internet Famous.

The team saw what happened, and a rep came over to give the kid a different home run ball and some other stuff. After the game, the family was invited to meet the players in person, where the son was able to get his home run ball signed.

Nice outcome.

How famous is she?

Well, she got booed out of the stadium. Other fans berated her. And the Internet did its thing.

She has been identified by name. My unconfirmed information is that she is a teacher. Again, unconfirmed, her Facebook feed and the school’s Facebook feeds have exploded with people expressing their displeasure with her attitude and behavior.

Maybe she will be a little less self-entitled in the future?

Show Me Your Papers!

Aug 21, 2025 Chris Johnson
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.
— U.S. Const. amend. IV.

This is where your right to privacy is protected. This protects you from needing to “show your papers.” There is no place in the United States that I know where you are required to have “your papers.”

If you choose to drive on public roads, if you are stopped for cause, you can be required to identify yourself. Driving on private land? No need for ID.

If you choose to enter a secured, private location, you can be required to show identification. For example, entering a military post/base.

So what happens if the cops show up at your doorstep and “demand” to see ID?

The first thing you need to do is realize that what you hear as a demand might not legally be a demand or order.

Police officers are trained to ask questions in such a way as to give the impression that they are ordering you to do something when they are not authorized to make that demand or give that order. “What’s your name?” is just a question. Under the Fifth Amendment, you are not required to answer that question.

You are not required to answer questions. You can choose to answer questions.

“Hello, we got a report of shots being fired. Were you shooting?” You are not required to answer. It doesn’t matter what they say until they make that magic statement, “You are required to answer.” If they do say you are required to answer, they might end up in a lawsuit.

Here is another magic one: “Do you have ID?” Many people will automatically reach for their ID when they hear this question, even though the cop didn’t even ask to see it. You assumed they took advantage of you.

When I’m presenting to 4th and 5th grade-aged children, I will sometimes ask, “Can I have your name?” or “Will you give me your name?”

When they say their name, I will thank them and then say, “My name is now *the name they gave*. What should we call you?” Many (most) get it. It one of my ways of teaching to listen to the question that is actually asked.

Can A Cop Walk Onto Your Property

The answer is a qualified “yes.” If they have a warrant to search the location, then they absolutely can enter. If they have a warrant to arrest somebody, they can enter under limitations, which I don’t remember. Lacking a warrant, they can only enter as far as the public is allowed.

This means that they can drive into your driveway, park, get out, knock on your door, and ask you questions.

On the other hand, if there is a gate or some other indicator with proper signage to stop the public, then they must stop there as well. They can park in front of your gate and yell at you, but they can’t enter without your permission.

If you are sitting on your doorstep smoking a cigar, they can come up to talk to you. In some areas, Ally says D.C. is one, your doorsteps are considered part of the “public space,” and there are regulations forbidding smoking or drinking in public.

Because you are breaking the law by smoking in a public space, the cops now have a reasonable articulable suspicion of a crime being committed. This broadens their authority to ask questions.

The regulations I found for D.C. indicate that failure to identify yourself is not an arrestable crime. It is a crime, but it cannot be used to justify an arrest nor to escalate the level of suspicion the cop has. I.e. If he suspects you of doing bad things, your refusing to identify yourself cannot be used to justify his suspicion of you doing bad things.

Consentual Contact

If you walk into the police station and ask to talk to a police officer, you are initiating a consensual contact. You are free to end that contact at any time and walk away. Likewise, It is possible that your talking to the police officer has moved this from you having a consensual contact to you being detained.

Consider the situation where a child has gone missing. The police request help from the public. You saw something suspicious, and you called the tip line. A day or so later you get a call from the detectives asking you to come in to speak with them. You do so.

While you are talking to them, you say something that confirms their suspicions that you are the person that done did it. They are not required to tell you when that happens. They are free to let you keep babbling.

You get tired of their stupid questions and accusations, stand, and ask, “Am I free to go?” If the answer is no, you are being detained. If the detention lasts more than a reasonable time, that detention turns into an arrest.

If the cops flashing lights are on behind you when you are pulled over, you are detained. If you are in handcuffs, you are detained. There are times when you should know you are detained even if the cops haven’t told you.

Reasonable articulable suspicion

Reasonable suspicion is a legal standard used to determine if the cops can legally search you.

If an officer stops someone to search them, the courts require that the officer have either a search warrant, probable cause to search, or a reasonable suspicion to search.

Reasonable articulable suspicion is the legal standard that empowers cops to conduct an investigation without a warrant.

This is a balancing act. We are balancing the need of the authorities to perform their police work with the Fourth and Fifth Amendment protections of The People. Without the power to investigate suspicious behavior, cops would not be able to deal with crimes in progress.

Consider the following: the cops are driving by, they hear shots fired, and they see a man wearing a ski mask exit the bank with a gun in his hand and a heavy bag in the other.

If the cops have a reasonable suspicion that this person has just committed a crime. They can articulate that suspicion.

Now consider this version: a call has gone out that the bank two blocks over has just been robbed. The cops see a man running down the road. He’s wearing a ski mask in 90-degree heat. They still have reasonable suspicion.

Or this: The call of a bank robbery has gone out. The cops see a black man walking down the sidewalk. That is not reasonable suspicion.

Once law enforcement has that reasonable suspicion, they can investigate. The articulable requirement means that they have to be able to put that suspicion into words. If they can’t put it into words, it is not good enough.

Police Investigations

If the police are talking to you, they are likely doing an investigation. Anything you say can be held against you in a court of law.

The cops walk up to you as you sit in your front yard; they are investigating something. If they do not have that reasonable suspicion, they can ask questions in an attempt to gain reasonable suspicion.

Consider this scenario: you are driving 60 mph in a 45 mph zone. The flashing blue and whites come on and you pull over. The very polite officer walks up and asks, “Do you know how fast you were going?”

You respond, “I was doing 50 or so.”

You have just admitted to the crime of speeding. The officer now has all the justification needed to continue his investigation.

“Do you know why I pulled you over?” Same thing. You don’t have to answer the question.

They walk up to you in your lawn chair, “How are you doing, sir?” “What’s going on?”

These are questions designed to elicit a response. They hope that the response will lead their investigation someplace. “Did you know smoking in a public space is prohibited?”

Answer that one, and you are answering mens rea questions.

In general, don’t answer questions. Furthermore, don’t be me; don’t be an asshole.

Minnesota’s New Hiring Policy: Justify Hiring Whites But Not Illegals With Rap Sheets, ie Serial Sex Offender Hired as Chief Auditor
https://gellerreport.com/2025/07/minnesotas-new-hiring-policy-justify-hiring-whites-but-not-illegals-with-rap-sheets-ie-serial-sex-offender-hired-as-chief-auditor.html
Under Minnesota’s new hiring policy a hiring manager would have to justify hiring a white male but not for this illegal alien with a felony wrap sheet.
Take for example Wilson Tindi, a Kenyan national. ICE has been trying to deport him for almost 20 years but they are stymied by federal judges. Tindi is a serial sex offender, with convictions, jail time, and yet every time ICE gets a removal order a federal judge steps in to stop them. Even after he was convicted the State of Minnesota hired him as its chief auditor despite his illegal status. Just look at this insane timeline: 2005 – overstated visitor visa, 2007 – applied for permanent residency, denied, 2009 – ICE issued removal order, didn’t leave 2011 – removal order reversed 2012 – raped a woman, but not charged 2014 – raped another woman, charged 2014 – granted permanent lawful residency, 2016 – ICE detained him for removal, 2016 – convicted of 4th-degree criminal sexual conduct, sentenced to 2 years (stayed for 5 yrs), 210 days workhouse, sex offender registry, 2017 – removal order upheld by the Board of Appeals, 2018 – filed petition in state court to change his name, 2018 – Judge David Doty granted habeas corpus petition, 2018 – hired by State of Minnesota, 2023 – promoted to Director of Internal Audit, 2025 – filed a petition to vacate his guilty plea, 2025 – DWI arrest, June 2025 three misdemeanors, 2025 – fired from state job.

Blame California Politicians for the State’s Sky-High Gasoline Prices
https://reason.com/2025/07/11/blame-california-politicians-for-the-states-sky-high-gasoline-prices/
Taxes and regulations pinch supply and hike prices at the pump. If you’ve driven in California and pulled into a gas station to fill the tank, you know the Golden State’s gasoline market exists in some realm parallel to but separate from the rest of the country, with fuel priced as if the place was the setting for a Mad Max movie (OK, some parts sort of are). As I write, the average price for gasoline in the U.S. is $3.17 per gallon, but Californians are somehow paying $4.53. Given the state just raised fuel tax rates, those prices aren’t going down any time soon. In fact, Californians can blame state officials overall for the high cost of filling a car
”Californians pay an additional 72.4 cents per gallon at the pump attributable to state and local taxes and fees, which is the highest in the nation,” according to the California Tax Foundation. “California’s state excise on gasoline is 57.9 cents per gallon (as of July 1, 2023).” Since that data was published, gas taxes have gone up further, most recently rising to 61.2 cents per gallon on July 1, up from 59.6 cents per gallon. The state’s gasoline tax frequently rises since it’s automatically adjusted for inflation every year. Ten years ago, it was 30 cents per gallon. And of course, prices at the pump rise accordingly

Then, things got violent. Video clearly shows an anti-ICE activist shooting at federal agents during the mayhem

Sometimes the Democrats in Congress make bizarre videos, featuring profanity like fk or st. On other occasions, they scream and interrupt Congress.

Planned Parenthood Sues Over Defunding – Brace for Their Legal Gymnastics
https://townhall.com/columnists/jordan-sekulow/2025/07/10/planned-parenthood-sues-over-defunding-brace-for-their-legal-gymnastics-n2660180

 a federal(District Court-jlr) judge granted – yet another – nationwide temporary restraining order, which halted the defunding on July 7. The ruling remains in effect for nearly two weeks, with Judge Talwani set to decide on a longer-term injunction after a hearing on July 18
 For decades, Planned Parenthood has walked a fine line – claiming abortion is just a small part of what it does, while focusing on patient services, its advocacy, and fundraising. Now, defunding efforts and legal challenges are forcing it to admit that abortion, and not “healthcare,” is central to its mission
Planned Parenthood will argue that the defunding effort in the BBB constitutes a targeted attack on Planned Parenthood solely because it provides abortion services. However, it will have to simultaneously maintain – particularly in litigation – that no public funds support abortion in any form, whether a procedure, provider, or facility. This contradiction is central. In public statements and fundraising appeals, Planned Parenthood asserts that defunding efforts are tantamount to banning abortion – an implicit acknowledgment that government funds do, in fact, subsidize abortion-related infrastructure.
(Note how the MSM is starting to not say what level the judges are, and who and where they are as few times as possible – jlr)

Judge temporarily blocks Planned Parenthood ‘defunding’ in Trump megabill

U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani’s ruling marks the first known instance of a federal judge limiting enforcement of any part of the “big, beautiful” bill, which President Trump signed into law Friday
Planned Parenthood sued over a provision that imposes a one-year ban on state Medicaid payments to health care nonprofits that also offer abortions and received more than $800,000 in federal funding in 2023
The judge issued the decision before the government responded, providing no explanation beyond a brief note that Planned Parenthood had shown “good cause” for her to immediately intervene.

On Monday, just hours after the suit was filed and before the government had even had an opportunity to weigh in, Massachusetts District Court Judge Indira Talwani issued a brief (2-page) temporary restraining order (TRO) enjoining the Trump administration from enforcing the provision of the law in question, requiring them to ensure that Medicaid funding of Planned Parenthood continue “in the customary manner,” and requiring a status report from the administration within 96 hours of being served with the court’s order
On Friday morning, the administration filed its motion to vacate the TRO, and its memorandum in support thereof is, at least to this recovering lawyer’s eyes, a thing of beauty. The memo may be viewed in its entirety below, but I want to walk through it a bit to highlight some damn fine lawyering

White House Blames Democrat Rhetoric for 700% Surge in Attacks on ICE Agents
https://americanjournaldaily.com/white-house-democrats-blame

For the men and women who wear a uniform, this isn’t a game. It’s a matter of life and death
The White House is pointing the finger squarely at Democrats for a shocking 700% surge in assaults against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. They say the Left’s dangerous rhetoric is directly fueling violence
Just as attacks on officers were spiking, Democrats in Congress rolled out a new bill called the VISIBLE Act. They claim it’s about “transparency.” The bill would force ICE agents to show their faces and names on their uniforms, making them easily identifiable
This isn’t about accountability. It’s about intimidation. And as one former top official makes clear, the blame lies with the politicians fanning the flames
 The choice for Americans is simple. You can stand with the brave agents defending our laws and our border, or you can stand with the people putting targets on their backs.

…Ruling from the bench, District Court Judge Laplante granted a request from immigration rights attorneys to certify a nationwide class that “will be comprised only of those deprived of citizenship” and issued a preliminary injunction indefinitely blocking Trump’s Day One order from being enforced against born and unborn babies who would be impacted by the policy. “The preliminary injunction is just not a close call to the court,” Laplante said during a hearing. “The deprivation of US citizenship and an abrupt change of policy that was longstanding 
 that’s irreparable harm.”…The Supreme Court will have to end up adjudicating this, and it’s entirely possible that the same six justices will see this as a dodge around CASA. However, it does appear that the court wanted to provide a workaround to CASA for extraordinary cases with large-scale application in Barrett’s ruling, which prompted Alito’s prophetic warning. Don’t be too surprised if the court takes a pass on this appeal and forces the courts to deal with the underlying issue of birthright citizenship definition before taking this up again.

(I predict that at some point the left will file a lawsuit saying that Trump et al. are wasting taxpayer dollars defending the numerous lawsuits initiated by the left, and Trump et al. should “cease and desist” from wasting taxpayer money defending said suits- just more sand in the gears – jlr)

 

Judge issues new nationwide block on Trump’s birthright citizenship order

https://www.bizpacreview.com/2025/07/10/judge-issues-new-nationwide-block-on-trumps-birthright-citizenship-order-1566944/

District Court Judge Joseph Laplante, a George W. Bush appointee in New Hampshire, sided with immigrant advocacy groups who asked to certify a nationwide class of babies whose citizenship status would be impacted by the order, according to Reuters. His ruling is the first since the Supreme Court’s decision on June 27 reining in lower courts’ ability to issue nationwide injunctions, which left room for plaintiffs to still file class action lawsuits to block the executive order.

 

Fed judge rules Chicago alderman is unfit to face trial for bribery, corruption charges

Former alderman Carrie Austin, 76, was indicted in July 2021 by a grand jury “for allegedly conspiring to receive home improvements from construction contractors seeking city assistance for a development project” in her Far South Side ward…Austin’s court date was (conveniently) set years later for November 2025, but she allegedly suffers from several major heart and lung complications and cancer, according to her attorneys, who argued she isn’t physically able to withstand a trial. In response, Federal District Court Judge John Kness agreed and ruled that a trial would have an “unfit effect” on the defendant’s health.

Trump Administration Banning Communist China From Owning Farm Land, Halt Dangerous Research

Chinese Communist China owns 349,442 acres of farmland in the USA, up 82% over three years, and most of it is near our military installations… The Trump administration is launching an aggressive, multi-agency effort to protect America’s farmlands, food supply, and critical research from influence and control by US adversaries — including banning the purchase of farmland by Chinese nationals…“American agriculture is not just about feeding our families, but about protecting our nation and standing up to foreign adversaries who are buying our farmland, stealing our research, and creating dangerous vulnerabilities in the very systems that sustain us,” Rollins told reporters at USDA headquarters…At least 700 foreign nationals in “countries of concern” like China will be swiftly kicked off of contracts and research agreements with the USDA — and further regulatory actions will remove more than 550 concerning foreign entities.

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) shipped thousands of viral samples to a lab in Wuhan over the course of a 10-year program even though it had no formal agreement with the lab in place, according to previously unreported documents. The documents show that USAID funded the exportation of 11,000 samples from Yunnan Province, where some of the closest relatives of the COVID-19 virus circulate, to Wuhan, the epicenter of the pandemic, with no apparent plan for ensuring the samples were not misdirected to bioweapons and remained accessible to the U.S. government…One of the closest known relatives of the COVID virus is among the viruses sampled with USAID funding.

Black Customers Outraged By New Carnival Cruise Line Rules Limiting Ghetto Behavior

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/black-customers-outraged-new-carnival-cruise-line-rules-limiting-ghetto-behavior

Carnival introduced new passenger rules in June, and some critics and activists assert that these restrictions specifically target black customers in an effort to ward them off. New rules include:Zero tolerance on smoking marijuana onboard ships. – Minors cannot be in public areas without a parent after 1am. – Personal folding fans and the “Boots On The Ground” line dance are banned due to noise. – Bluetooth speakers in public areas are banned due to loud music disrupting other passengers. – Disruptive guests can be removed without a refund and possibly fined. – Numerous customers claim that Carnival DJs will no longer play rap music, though Carnival denies this. Critics argue that the new rules are designed to make black passengers feel less welcome. Others argue that the new rules are not racially motivated and are simply designed to make assholes feel less welcome. Common complaints about Carnival cruises include loud and obnoxious mob behavior, fighting and a lack of cleanliness. As a side note, in 2024, the CDC released a report on the most unsanitary cruise ships and Carnival ships held three of the top ten spots on the list. The people who complain about such broad, common sense rules are essentially self reporting as the very people that no one wants around. Being trapped on a boat and surrounded by a massive ocean requires behavioral limitations on everyone, but for some reason, only a certain group of customers is complaining about being forced to behave for the sake of others. American society is growing tired of the antics of this demographic. It’s no longer cute or a matter of “cultural differences”. Expectations are finally being enforced, and free passes on bad behavior are being canceled.

In a stunning political and medical upheaval, 12 U.S. states have ignited a firestorm by pushing legislation to ban COVID-19 vaccines, declaring them unsafe, ineffective, and a symbol of misplaced trust. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently triggered a major policy shift by removing the vaccines from CDC recommendations for children and pregnant women, citing new findings. For years, critical questions have been silenced. The promise that COVID-19 vaccines were “safe and effective” is now being called into serious doubt — and the consequences may be far worse than anyone imagined.

Did House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries Photoshop his waist to appear slimmer? Social media critics think so. Jeffries, D-N.Y., became the target of viral mockery on Monday after critics pointed out what they viewed as botched photo editing on the top Democrat’s Instagram page. The photo, shared Sunday, shows Jeffries standing behind a park bench in Brooklyn. However, the straight lines of the bench’s wood near his waist appear noticeably warped. Critics said this means the image was digitally altered to trim his midsection.

 

Obama Wants The Power To Define ‘Facts’

We don’t want diversity of facts,” Obama opined in his nonchalant way of attacking the First Amendment while pretending to support it. “There is a difference between these platforms letting all voices be heard,” he continued, “versus a business model that elevates the most hateful voices, or the most polarizing voices, or the most dangerous in the sense of inciting violence.” Obama has always been a tyrant wearing a smiling celebrity’s mask.

 

Jasmine Crockett somehow makes the Texas flood tragedy all about herself

Notably, Crockett’s district is roughly 300 miles away from where the floods raged through Kerr County…Crockett starts the video by saying her “heart is truly heavy for all these families,” before immediately making it about herself and how Trump is working around the clock to “hurt us.” “The sad part is I think that my heart is going to carry a level of weight that will continue to weigh me down as we have to continue to do our best to survive an administration that literally is against us,” Crockett said in a post on Instagram. “An administration that is doing everything, in my mind, to hurt us and not help us, and it feels like we’re fending for ourselves.”In the same post about the Texas flooding, Crockett made sure to give a shoutout to her hairstylist. “My staff said y’all are commenting about my BOB!” Crockett wrote in the post. She thanked her stylist for “orchestrating the look.”

Armed attacks on Federal Officers, becoming the “norm?” – via https://bayourenaissanceman.blogspot.com/2025/07/is-left-wing-terrorism-to-be-new-normal.html

As expected, no Democrat politician has publicly condemned these shooting attacks on our Federal LEOs.

Do you know why? Our side is still too polite. The Dems leaders feel invincible, confusing politeness with weakness.

Clock is ticking, I am afraid, and then it will be Correia’s Flip of a Switch.

“A friend of mine who is a political activist said something interesting the other day, and that was for most people on the left political violence is a knob, and they can turn the heat up and down, with things like protests, and riots, all the way up to destruction of property, and sometimes murder
 But for the vast majority of folks on the right, it’s an on-and-off switch. And the settings are Vote or Shoot Fucking Everybody. And believe me, you really don’t want that switch to get flipped, because Civil War 2.0 would make Bosnia look like a trip to Disneyworld.”

Is left-wing terrorism to be the “new normal”?

https://bayourenaissanceman.blogspot.com/2025/07/is-left-wing-terrorism-to-be-new-normal.html

Is left-wing terrorism to be the “new normal”? – John Farnam thinks so.

Overshadowed by the tragic flooding in TX, there was a well-funded, violent attack, a “planned ambush,” by at least ten heavily-armed leftist terrorists on Federal Officers at the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, TX on Friday, 4 July 25. At least one officer was injured by gunfire…As expected, no Democrat politician has publicly condemned these shooting attacks on our Federal LEOs. In fact, Democrats are self-righteously calling our courageous ICE Officers “terrorists…In 2020, these same leftist terrorists, openly incited by Democrat politicians, destroyed historic statues and burned large swaths of business districts (in an effort to punish “hated capitalists”). In 2024/25, these same terrorists violently attacked Jewish students and trashed college campuses, all with the approval of leftist-supporting college administrators, who simultaneously exclude Christians and Jews from being hired (in the name of “DEI”) Today, these same leftist terrorists, now using “assault weapons,” are openly shooting at our police, all as their supporters (which includes most Democrat politicians) remain silent, or in some cases cheer them on! This all precisely fits the Leninist pattern for the violent seizure of power, as the DNC’s current spokesman, Zohran Mamdani, so candidly articulates. Nothing is beneath them! Why should any of us be surprised?…

Fair warning. Take a close look at the political and social environment in and around the area where you live, and plan accordingly.

“New Normal?”

…………

New Normal by John Farnam, 28 Sept 2023

New Normal!

“The hardest thing to explain is the glaringly evident, which everybody has decided not to see.” – Ayn Rand

An organized, social-media-communicated, two-pronged attack on private businesses by “flash mobs,” as well as organized caravans of looters, hit the City of Philadelphia on Tuesday evening, and again last night. There are injuries, and the damage is extensive! Video of these “mostly peaceful” rioters shows men wearing black balaclavas, with hooded faces, and carrying signs proclaiming “Party for Socialism and Liberation.” Police made a few arrests, but otherwise did little to control widespread lawlessness. Liquor stores in Philadelphia are under mandatory closure. Looks as if what we saw in 2020 may just have been a rehearsal for what’s coming in the approaching election season! The radical left (Democrats), seeing their hold on power disintegrating as honorable, productive

Americans grow weary of their “war on decency” have decided that when they can’t hold onto political power, they’ll just burn down what is left. They’ve done it before! Political violence is thus the “new normal.” The radical left has no compunction about employing deadly violence against anyone who dares oppose them, as we see. The rest of us are on our own, as we also see!

State of the Anti-Trump Resistance Movement and the Burgeoning Color Revolution

https://grayzoneresearch.substack.com/p/assessment-state-of-the-anti-trump

Former U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and State Department employees are hosting recruitment and training sessions for current federal employees to resist the Trump administration from the inside, according to a report from nonprofit media outlet NOTUS
Assessment: A “noncooperation” campaign is a resistance campaign, using predominantly nonviolent tactics to attack or otherwise undermine the legitimacy, authority, and capacity of a sitting government – in this case the Trump administration
it will use tactics like civil disobedience to grind down the gears of the Trump administration and prevent them from, as they see it, becoming authoritarian
If this resistance movement decide to foment an actual revolution – colloquially known as a Color Revolution – to topple the Trump government
a Color Revolution is a type of irregular warfare that uses predominantly non-violent action to topple an existing government, usually through mass protests, demonstrations, civil disobedience, and public displays of mass political defiance
As opposed to the hard power of an insurgency — a violent, armed attempt by irregular forces to overthrow a government — these “popular” revolutions use soft power — social power — to resist, embarrass, frustrate, and undermine the legitimacy of a government and then force it from power.

The Supreme Court lifted an injunction placed by a San Francisco district judge which blocked the Trump administration from reducing the federal workforce in large numbers.

Last Friday, 04 July, law enforcement officers arrived at the Prairieland Detention Center, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Alvarado, Texas, to investigate a man armed with a gun. Roughly 8-10 individuals launched fireworks and vandalized the facility. Authorities say multiple gunmen then opened fire on an arriving police officer, wounding him. Police later arrested 10 suspects, some with body armor. The District Attorney’s Office described the event as a coordinated ambush, with the fireworks seemingly “designed to draw ICE personnel outside the facility.”

In New York, several employees of the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) were recently caught doing the one thing at which government drones seem efficient: corruptly profiting from their positions. They aren’t alone in selling driver’s licenses to ineligible customers; similar stories frequently appear around the country wherever public workers see a way to make a few bucks by providing official identification documents, often in fake names, to anybody with cash in hand. As common as the practice is, it’s an interesting commentary on the long-delayed recent introduction of REAL ID requirements, which are supposed to make us more secure.

Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan was indicted by a federal grand jury in May on charges of concealing a person from arrest and obstruction of the law
U.S. Magistrate Judge Nancy Joseph recommended on Monday that Dugan’s motion to dismiss be denied and torpedoed the Milwaukee judge’s arguments for dismissal one by one
”It is well-established and undisputed that judges have absolute immunity from civil lawsuits for monetary damages when engaging in judicial acts,” wrote Joseph. “This, however, is not a civil case. And review of the case law does not show an extension of this established doctrine to the criminal context.”
”Does judicial immunity shield Dugan from prosecution because the indictment alleges she violated federal criminal law while performing judicial duties? The answer is no,”
there is “no firmly established absolute judicial immunity barring criminal prosecution of judges for judicial acts.”

Above the law???

US Insurers Are Refusing To Cover Climate-Change Risk-Zones
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/us-insurers-are-refusing-cover-climate-change-risk-zones
U.S. insurers are rapidly pulling coverage from homes in high-risk climate zones, particularly in California, Florida, and North Carolina. Millions of homeowners are facing nonrenewals, impacting their ability to secure mortgages and causing housing market instability. Government and local efforts are underway to mitigate risks and persuade insurers to continue coverage, but significant gaps remain. However, without insurance, it is impossible for many people to gain access to mortgage financing.

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/hit-us-please-americas-left-issues-broken-arrow-signal-europe
“Broken arrow” is arguably the most chilling and desperate order that an American military commander can issue. When faced with an enemy about to overrun a surrounded force, a commander uses it to call in an air or artillery strike on his own position…many on the American left are issuing their own “broken arrow” signals, including calling on globalist allies to hit the U.S. with sanctions and other measures. They are seeking to achieve through sanctions what they could not achieve through elections…In the end, the calls for a globalist intervention are a final desperate call of America’s self-isolated left.

“It’s Not A Human Right To Live In Sweden” – New Integration Minister Calls For Migrant Values Survey

Sweden’s new Minister for Education and Integration, Simona Mohamsson, says it’s time to stop relying on gut feelings and start using facts when it comes to integration. Despite the current government’s hardline rhetoric on migration, 60,000 foreigners still received Swedish citizenship in 2023.

Ukrainian Oligarchs Have Become Incredibly Rich From The War Writes Swiss Newspaper
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/ukrainian-oligarchs-have-become-incredibly-rich-war-writes-swiss-newspaper
Ukraine was widely recognized as the most corrupt country even before the Ukraine war, but since war broke out and tens of billions of euros have flowed into the country, corruption has flourished like never before. Swiss newspaper Neue ZĂŒricher Zeitung details how a clique of oligarchs, many of them close to President Volodymyr Zelensky, have grown famously wealthy. “These big businessmen are profiting enormously from the war, while also being patriotic, pro-Western and very discreet,” wrote the Swiss Neue ZĂŒricher Zeitung‘s (NZZ) Kyiv correspondent, Guillaume Ptak. In other words, instead of showing off with sports cars, these new oligarchs know they have to keep their wealth hidden amid a devastating war. The paper details five individuals who have profited enormously. “The war, which has entered its fourth year, is proving to be a profitable field for businessmen like Andri Stawnizer, Andri Kobolev, Oleksander Hereha, Andri Kolodyuk, and Vasil Khmelnitsky. The quintet has established itself in the war economy, investing in rebuilding what the Russian army destroys time and again. earns a fortune in strategic sectors such as logistics, energy, or construction materials. Typical war profiteers? Sure. But not entirely…

Muslim Immigrant Convicted of Recruiting For Islamic Terror
https://gellerreport.com/2025/07/chicago-muslim-immigrants-convicted-of-recruiting-for-islamic-terror.html/
This is part and parcel of the hijrah, the inevitable consequence of ‘al hijrah.’ The hijrah (jihad immigration) has destroyed whole cultures, continents since the march of Muhammad and Islam began. Hijrah, or jihad by emigration, is, according to Islamic tradition, the migration or journey of Muhammad and his followers from Mecca to Yathrib, later renamed by him to Medina, in the year 622 CE. It was after the hijrah that Muhammad for the first time became not just a preacher of religious ideas, but a political and military leader. That was what occasioned his new “revelations” exhorting his followers to commit violence against unbelievers. Significantly, the Islamic calendar counts the hijrah, not Muhammad’s birth or the occasion of his first “revelation,” as the beginning of Islam, implying that Islam is not fully itself without a political and military component.

TEXAS
Many Democrat Officials CHARGED for Voter Harvesting Scheme in Texas
https://gellerreport.com/2025/07/many-democrat-officials-charged-for-voter-harvesting-scheme-in-texas.html/
Democrat election fraud is rampant.The Texas voter harvesting scheme involves allegations of illegal ballot collection in Frio County. Texas AG Ken Paxton announced indictments of 15 individuals, mostly local Democrat officials, in May and July 2025. Charges include vote harvesting and evidence tampering. Key figures: Frio County Judge Rochelle Camacho, former Bexar Democratic Chair Juan Medina, and others…The charges leveled by Paxton’s office this spring were under a 2021 state law that made it a third-degree felony for a person to knowingly provide or offer “vote harvesting services” — or the collection of ballots — in exchange for compensation, unless the person is employed as a caregiver for a voter who is eligible to vote by mail. That includes Texans who are 65 or older on Election Day or who are unable to vote in person due to illness or be away from their county throughout the entire election. Under the law, organizers of voter outreach groups and volunteers could spend up to 10 years in prison and be fined up to $10,000 for offering these services. “The people of Texas deserve fair and honest elections, not backroom deals and political insiders rigging the system,” Paxton said in a May statement. “Elected officials who think they can cheat to stay in power will be held accountable. No one is above the law.”

What Are We Going to Do About All This Mental Illness?
https://gellerreport.com/2025/07/what-are-we-going-to-do-about-all-this-mental-illness.html/
Back in May 2022, a Muslim identified only as Mohammed L. murdered Alban Gervaise, a 40-year-old physician, by stabbing him multiple times… Gervaise, Mohammed repeatedly screamed “Allahu akbar,” and later explained that he committed the murder “in the name of Allah.”…April Fools Day 2023, a Muslim migrant to Canada named Abdul Aziz Kawam spent two minutes praying at a bus stop in Surrey, British Columbia. Then he slit the throat of another person who was waiting for the bus. When the bus arrived, Kawam got on board and asked a fellow passenger if he was a Muslim. Kawam then slit the throat of a passenger…he performed both of his throat-slashings in accord with the Qur’anic command: “When you meet the unbelievers, strike necks.”…Mohammed Abdullah Warsame, who, according to a June 2025 CTV News report, has been “convicted of terrorism offences in the United States, and who had ties to al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden.”…He “was sent to hospital for psychological support between the date of the alleged offence and his arrest,” because anyone who did such things must be mentally ill, right? What else could he possibly be?…I could multiply incidents of this kind indefinitely. European authorities refuse to admit that there even exists such a thing as the global jihad, and so they have to classify jihadis as something else. They’ve settled on calling it mental illness for now, but as psychiatric hospitals are increasingly filled with jihad terrorists, this will become untenable. As jihad activity becomes ever more frequent across Europe, European authorities may one day even admit what it actually is. But that will probably only happen when they’re surrendering and officially submitting to their new Islamic overlords.

Mexico City Protest Against American Ex-Pat ‘Invasion’ Turns Violent
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/watch-mexico-city-protest-against-american-ex-pat-invasion-turns-violent
In a role reversal that underscores a universal resentment of economic and social impacts caused by a major influx of foreigners, demonstrators marched in Mexico City on Friday to protest against the city’s status as a hot new residential destination for American ex-pats and remote workers. Though it started peacefully, many demonstrators turned violent, with some of them accosting Americans and smashing the restaurants, banks and other businesses that cater to them…Some of the demonstrators started attacking businesses in Condesa and Roma, smashing windows, spray-painting graffiti, tearing down awnings, vandalizing cars, completely destroying a restaurant patio, and looting. A Starbucks outlet was among the most-damaged properties:

So a section of the Mexican population seems to be disgusted with the idea that gringos are settling in their land and “gentrifying” real state out of their incomes because it is apparently cheaper for John Smith to live South of the Border than in L.A…What is hilarious is that they are marching in what is one of the oldest richest neighborhoods in the city and unaffordable to them even before the evil invader gringos decided to buy/rent property there. The area was not being gentrified because it was already out of their economic level populated by the local Richie Riches which makes this just 100% bullcrap worry about the downtrodden middle class…Simply put, it is just another episode of “We can’t fix our own shit so we blame the gringos as excuse” political soap opera.

People got a big reminder over the weekend that leftist violent protests aren’t just something that happens in this country when things got out of hand in Mexico City on Friday…there was a protest where hundreds came out against “gentrification” in the tourist areas, upset that foreigners, including many Americans, have moved into the area. Some of the signs were ironically fascinating… the masked kids in black went all smashy-smashy. They even broke the windows out of at least one store and looted it…Homeland Security @DHSgov – https://x.com/DHSgov/status/1941979433612484884 – “If you are in the United States illegally and wish to join the next protest in Mexico City, use the CBP Home app to facilitate your departure”…The final irony: Leftists are upset with Americans who have entered Mexico legally because of how that’s affected the country, yet leftists in this country are supportive and protesting on behalf of the people who have entered the U.S. illegally.

What Liberal Voters Are Demanding Democrats Do to Stop ICE Is Insane: ‘Not Just Unreal, but Dangerous’

Axios on Monday published an astonishing report citing numerous Democrat members of Congress who say their voters want to see representatives literally willing to take a bullet to “protect our democracy.” Several lawmakers chose to keep their identities shielded to offer candid assessments about what they’re seeing from their base at various town halls and speaking events. It’s more than likely they did so because some of that base is clearly unhinged. “Some of them have suggested … what we really need to do is be willing to get shot,” when visiting ICE facilities, one House Democrat told Axios…”Our own base is telling us that what we’re doing is not good enough … [that] there needs to be blood to grab the attention of the press and the public.” Another unnamed resistance lawmaker tells the outlet that his constituents have insisted “civility isn’t working” and Democrats need to prepare for “violence … to fight to protect our democracy.”

Democrat Politicians Claim Their Base Wants Blood
https://bearingarms.com/camedwards/2025/07/07/democrat-politicians-claim-their-base-wants-blood-n1229169
The grassroots wants more. “Some of them have suggested … what we really need to do is be willing to get shot” when visiting ICE facilities or federal agencies, a third House Democrat told Axios.
“Our own base is telling us that what we’re doing is not good enough … [that] there needs to be blood to grab the attention of the press and the public,” the lawmaker said.
A fourth House Democrat said constituents have told them “civility isn’t working” and to prepare for “violence … to fight to protect our democracy.”
A fifth House Democrat told Axios that “people online have sent me crazy s*** … told me to storm the White House and stuff like that,” though they added that “there’s always people on the internet saying crazy stuff.”
There sure are, but it’s also undeniable that a large portion of the Left has become utterly unhinged since Donald Trump defeated Joe Biden in the 2024 elections, and they’ve only gotten worse since Trump was sworn in and has actively begun reshaping the federal government.
Many lawmakers said these voters tend to be white, well-educated and live in upscale suburban or urban neighborhoods.
“What I have seen is a demand that we get ourselves arrested intentionally or allow ourselves to be victims of violence, and … a lot of times that’s coming from economically very secure white people,” said an eighth House Democrat.
“Not only would that be a gift to Donald Trump, not only would it make the job of Republicans in Congress easier if we were all mired in legal troubles … [we are] a group that is disproportionately people of color, women, LGBTQ people — people who do not fare very well in prison.”
The bottom line: “The expectations aren’t just unreal. They’re dangerous,” the eighth House Democrat said.

The left is reaping what it sowed, and its elected officials are afraid of the monster they’ve created.

GOA’s “One Big Beautiful Lawsuit” will ask the courts to strike down the NFA’s absurd new $0 tax and registration scheme for certain suppressors and firearms with short barrels. In the 1930’s, the Supreme Court only narrowly upheld the NFA solely as a tax statute—not as a firearms regulatory law. In Sonzinsky v. United States (1937), the Court ruled the NFA was permissible under Congress’s taxing power. But once the tax is reduced to $0, the constitutional justification for the law collapses…“The Supreme Court has made clear that the NFA survives only as a tax law. Once the President signs this bill and the tax disappears, the registry becomes an unconstitutional relic…

“We’ve Become Serfs On Our Own Land”: The USDA Trap, Foreign Land Sales, And The Collapse Of American Farming
https://www.zerohedge.com/food/weve-become-serfs-our-own-land-usda-trap-foreign-land-sales-and-collapse-american-farming
77 family farms vanish every day in the U.S. But what’s really killing them?”…I can’t even legally sell what I grow on my farm to any of my friends, family, or neighbors,” Sagdal says. Why? Because of USDA slaughter rules. With few exceptions, unless meat is processed at a USDA-inspected facility, and labeled with a USDA stamp, it’s illegal to sell. An issue compounded by the fact that just four companies have monopolized the few meatpacking plants that still exist. USDA inspectors have helped shut down local and regional slaughterhouses for decades, while court documents and video footage show an inspector giving a free pass to a Tyson-owned pork facility—fueling criticisms of USDA selectionism. Between 1990 and 2016, federally inspected plants fell 36% and non-federally inspected facilities dropped 42%. As a consequence, many small farms lack access to USDA‑inspected custom or state processing facilities—locking them out of grocery chains and school lunch contracts, even when their meat is superior.

Zohran Mamdani has admitted listing his race as “black” on a college admission form. He is not black—he is ethnically South Asian because, by his own admission, his ancestors all came from India. It is impossible to know what went through his head when Mamdani lied on his Columbia University admission form, but the most obvious reason for doing so would have been to give himself an advantage over other applicants. If that was the case, it was not just lying; it was cheating.
(NONE of this matters to his base. Wealthy, educated, Liberal white people, primarily Liberal white women, in NYC. To Liberals, gaming the system by cheating or lying is a resume enhancement. It’s the same as getting arrested at a protest for a proper cause, getting caught taking a bribe/kickback/skimming. Being censored in Congress, or any of a myriad of other offenses. Liberals see all of this as resume’ enhancements – with the GOP, the only sin is getting caught. You are then thrown out, to the waiting MSM wolves – Why do you think that most of Congress Critters arrive in their 1st term with barely 2 nickels to rub together, yet a couple of terms later they have millions of dollars visible in the bank, on a $200K salary – jlr)

The first six months of the Trump administration have not been kind to the experts and the degree-holding classes…This falls right in line with the loss of trust in the mainstream media and most of the politicians. Personally, I think a LOT of this relates directly back to the whole WuFlu debacle. From the ‘experts’ who had no real idea of what to do, to those who suppressed data, to the power hungry who closed schools, businesses, etc., on the ‘whims’ of the elites, ad infinitum. For many of us ‘peons’ it seemed that common sense solutions were immediately tossed to the winds, and we saw many instances of ‘not invented here’ syndrome. All of this caused many of us to do the cocked head look and go away mumbling to ourselves.n And I don’t think it’s getting any better…

US Department of Transportation instructs states to get rid of gay crosswalks

‘Roads are for safety, not political messages or artwork. Today I am calling on governors in every state to ensure that roadways, intersections, and crosswalks are kept free of distractions,’ said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy. ‘Far too many Americans die each year to traffic fatalities to take our eye off the ball. USDOT stands ready to help communities across the country make their roads safer and easier to navigate.’…In short, states and cities will need to paint over their gay crosswalks.

in praise of childhood consequence – and the end of “child as customer”
https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/in-praise-of-childhood-consequence
yesterday, i was eating breakfast in a restaurant. the table next to me had a (i’m guessing) 3-year-old boy who started to have a melt down. i was bracing for a long, miserable dining experience as “my kid is expressing his inner air raid siren, you all need to deal with it!” certainly seems to have become the core parenting praxis of late. instead, the father simply stood up, collected his son, then took him outside. this alone was lovely and comment-worthy (a sad statement about the current state of affairs), but the rest just kept getting better. the dad came back. alone. mom (who was with the other boy child) said, “where’s billy?” (i’m making up this name) dad: “in the car.” mom: oh, ok. other son (perhaps 5) nodded sagely as if he too had once learned this lesson…any gen X remembers this. you act up in a restaurant? no one is negotiating with terrorists. car. right now. no questions. no reprieve. get it together or go sit by yourself until you can…it still works. turns out nothing has changed except parental will to be parents instead of “appeasing buddies” and society’s will to let them.

…A couple ot days ago, fresh on the heels of allowing states to ban mutilation of minors, the Supreme Court announced that they will hear two cases regarding the constitutionality of states banning men (a.k.a, ‘trans women’) from competing in women’s sports….Naturally, this has the gender cult in a panic. They are so scared, in fact, that ABC News decided to coin a brand new term for men in womanface. They’re not ‘trans women’ anymore, they are ‘transgender females.’…ABC News also cites ‘legal experts’ who are opposed to the ban.

There’s been 10,000 replies and he may also be hit with context from Community Notes, since wildfire management is a matter of how the state responds. Newsom cut $100 million in fire prevention from the 2024-2025 state budget.

Boxer ChĂĄvez Jr. Expected To Be Deported To Mexico To Serve Sentence, Mexican President Says
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/boxer-chavez-jr-expected-be-deported-mexico-serve-sentence-mexican-president-says
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on July 4 that she expects boxer Julio CĂ©sar ChĂĄvez Jr. to be deported to Mexico to serve a prison sentence after his arrest in Los Angeles by U.S. immigration authorities…“The hope is that he will be deported and serve the sentence in Mexico,” Sheinbaum said during a news briefing Friday, referring to charges the boxer faces in Mexico related to arms and drug trafficking. She added that Mexico had not previously arrested ChĂĄvez because he had been living primarily in the United States…Chavez has an active arrest warrant issued in 2023 for alleged involvement with the Sinaloa cartel and trafficking of firearms, ammunition, and explosives. U.S. immigration officials say he has links to organized crime and called him an “egregious public safety threat,” but a Biden-era entry in a DHS law enforcement system indicated he was not an immigration enforcement priority…“It is shocking the previous administration flagged this criminal illegal alien as a public safety threat, but chose to not prioritize his removal and let him leave and COME BACK into our country,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said. “Under President Trump, no one is above the law—including world-famous athletes. Our message to any cartel affiliates in the U.S. is clear: We will find you and you will face consequences. The days of unchecked cartel violence are over.”…

Camp Mystic Flood Rescue Ongoing via “The Texas Flyover” newsletter
Rescuers are still searching central Texas for 27 girls missing from Camp Mystic after flash flooding tore through Kerr County on July 4, killing at least 32 people—18 adults and 14 children. Three young campers have been confirmed dead, and families are gathering at reunification centers in Ingram and Kerrville for news of their loved ones. The Guadalupe River surged more than 26 feet in under an hour, devastating the riverside town of Hunt and wiping out much of the camp. As of Friday night, at least 237 people had been rescued—167 by helicopter. More than 6.5 inches of rain fell in three hours, a rare, century-level storm that triggered flash flood emergencies across the Hill Country. To relieve pressure on the river system, floodgates at two upstream dams were opened. Gov. Greg Abbott declared a disaster across 15 counties and deployed more than 1,000 state responders. “We will stop at nothing to ensure…that everybody involved in this is going to be fully accounted for,”.

As for any prior staff cuts (NOAA was in the process of cutting 10 percent of its staff), there is likewise no evidence that those hampered the forecasting of this event. Yet, even a California state senator is repeating the lie because he believes it helps him politically. The NWS could have a trillion-dollar budget, and it would have put out the same forecast. To the extent that the amount of rain was not predicted, it is not possible to know exactly how much will fall when a system stalls out over a specific area, which is what happened here.

Democrats can say the wildest and craziest things and know that all those badly named “mainstream” media outlets and fact-checkers won’t care in the slightest…They are very upset after that “Big Beautiful Bill” extending the Trump tax breaks for most Americans passed Congress…”Tim, extreme House Republicans just approved the largest cut to Medicaid and food assistance in American history to fund tax breaks for their billionaire donors. The latest GOP stunt will rip healthcare away from 17 MILLION Americans, jack up our utility bills and take food out of the mouths of children, seniors and veterans…Don’t bother noting that Republicans wanted to stop giving illegal immigrants government benefits and wanted to install work requirements for government programs. For example, only 28% of able-bodied adults on food stamps work… from “Speaker Emerita” Nancy Pelos “House Republicans just voted to CUT Medicaid and food assistance for up to 20 MILLION vulnerable Americans — including their own constituents — to give tax handouts to billionaire CEOs.

CNN Stunned As Majority Of Americans Back Trump’s Mass Deportation Plan
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/cnn-stunned-majority-americans-back-trumps-mass-deportation-plan
The Supreme Court handed the Trump administration a major deportation victory on Thursday. On the same day, the GOP-led House passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in a narrow 218–214 vote—legislation that paves the way for over one million deportations annually. Meanwhile, the first illegals arrived at “Alligator Alcatraz” in the Florida Everglades, with outbound flights soon to follow. With these massive wins stacking up, Trump has secured yet another victory: the hearts of the American people, who overwhelmingly support this effort to restore national security…with the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act—set for President Trump’s signature on Friday afternoon—the bill permanently secures the border through the largest investment in immigration enforcement in U.S. history. It includes funding for over one million deportations annually and provides resources to complete the southern border wall…Trump’s deportation agenda is gaining serious momentum, and one key driver is public sentiment. As it turns out, even legacy mainstream media polls show a clear majority of Americans support the administration’s illegal alien crackdown. CNN hosts appeared visibly stunned by the numbers, revealing that the public is firmly behind Trump in restoring law and order nationwide…Trump’s overwhelming support from voters for mass deportations suggests the left’s NGO propaganda machine is failing to control the narrative. The optics look increasingly dire for Democrats, especially as some within their ranks openly cheerlead radical Marxism.

Mexican Restaurant’s Authenticity Questioned After Experiencing Zero ICE Raids
https://babylonbee.com/news/taco-bell-authenticity-questioned-after-zero-ice-raids
ATLANTA, GA — Locals have begun questioning the authenticity of purported Mexican restaurant “El Bandido” as ICE has yet to raid the restaurant a single time. With nearby restaurants being hit by ICE on a near-daily basis, concerns about El Bandido’s genuineness have risen as no waiter, cook, or busboy has been taken into custody. “It’s a bad look,” said former patron Dan Billings. “How do you claim to serve authentic Mexican cuisine and your kitchen door hasn’t even been broken down by ICE? It just doesn’t add up. I’m taking my business over to Julio’s, they’re getting raided all the time. Just last week, ICE hit ’em right when I was getting my enchiladas. That’s how you know it’s good.” The owner of El Bandido has defended his restaurant, adamantly maintaining its authenticity. “I’m sure ICE will be here any day, I’ve got so many illegals in the back — just give us time!” stated Mr. Javier Lopez. “Please, you’ve got to believe me, there’s not one green card holder back there. I promise!” At publishing time, Lopez had begun offering a free enchilada plate for any ICE officer who arrested one of his staff.

The abortion provider issues a solemn public statement on Friday, letting Americans across the country know that the crippling reduction in government funding would likely cause a chain reaction that would lead to thousands upon thousand of healthy, adorable babies being born into the world. “It’s important to let everyone know what’s going to come from this,” said Planned Parenthood spokesperson Jeannie Raye. “We were hoping to avoid this outcome, but we regret to inform the American people that this cut in funding due to Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ will, in all likelihood, result in large numbers of babies being born instead of murdered. It’s a horrifying realization for all of us here.” Inside sources reported that Planned Parenthood leaders were worried that America would be unprepared for the onslaught of beautiful infants that would be produced in the wake of the spending bill’s passing. “It is, indeed, a sad day,” one source said. “We’d love to keep dismembering babies in their mothers’ wombs, but without our federal funding, we’re afraid that these lovable little human beings will instead be born alive. Who wants to live in a country like this?” At publishing time, Planned Parenthood also warned that the thousands of births that would result from the loss of funding could result in stronger, more stable families led by parents who learn to live like responsible adults.
