    Surprise…

    You give environmental groups billions, but do you think your money goes to “doing good,” like cleaning up rivers or parks? Most of Big E spends very little on that.

    Luis Leon came to the US 38 years ago.

    He had been tortured in his native Chile by the administration of the dictator Augusto Pinochet. The US gave him political asylum and he came legally to the United States in 1987.
    Luis built a life here in the US. He worked at a leather manufacturing plant, raised four kids, and eventually retired.

    In June he lost his wallet, which had his green card in it. No problem. Luis and his wife made an appointment to get it replaced.

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/ice-secretly-deported-pennsylvania-grandfather-231727150.html

    But when they arrived for the appointment, Luis was handcuffed and taken away, and his wife was held for ten hours until her granddaughter showed up to get her. His family couldn’t find him for a full month. The immigration detention tracker never showed him as in ICE custody. Immigration officials had no answers they were willing to give, despite multiple calls. The family called local prisons and hospitals and even morgues but couldn’t find anyone who knew where Luis was.

    A relative in Chile called the family yesterday to let them know that 82-year-old Luis was now in a hospital in Guatemala… apparently deported to this country by the US government, though ICE still won’t even confirm that Luis showed up for his green card replacement appointment, let alone that they had him in custody and deported him.

      Touching and, I’m sure, completely truthful without any omissions whatsoever.

      Now for stories of illegal aliens — all from May 2025 — you’ll never hear from Elwood P. Dowd, because the bunny told him it would ruin The Narrative:

      On May 2, six Honduran nationals, ranging in ages from 13 to 21, fatally shot Larisha Sharell Thompson, in her vehicle in Lancaster County, South Carolina during an attempted robbery. While the names of the minor suspects have been withheld due to their age, the adults were identified as Asael Aminadas Torres-Chirinos,Jarby Ardon Ramos-Odari, and Jeyson Sobied Pineda-Salgado. The group also allegedly attempted to break into a Van Wyck Mart in Lancaster on the night of April 29 and fired a gunshot that damaged a security camera. Torres-Chirinos is believed to have been the gunman in both cases. Larisha Sharell Thompson leaves behind two children. (Breitbart News, May 12, 2025; WCNC Charlotte, May 12, 2025)

      On May 2, a rowdy group of three young Tren de Aragua members (whose names were not released due to their age) attacked New York City police officers in Times Square after the officers attempted to stop a robbery in progress. The reputed ringleader of the gang was only 12 years old, with the others being 16 and 17, and his crew was reportedly a new subsidiary of Tren de Aragua known as Diablos de la 42 (Devils of 42nd Street). The three illegal alien minors were already suspects in a spate of robberies in Central Park in August 2024. (FAIRUS.org, May 9, 2025)

      On May 7, in Kimper, Kentucky, U.S. Marshals apprehended Salvadoran national David Argueta-Marquez. The illegal alien is one of four men accused of kidnapping and raping a 16-year-old girl at gunpoint in Harris County, Texas, on November 22, 2022. At the time of the arrest, he was working for a tree cutting company. ICE is also investigating Argueta-Marquez for belonging to the 18th Street Gang in his native El Salvador. (Wnstv.com, May 8, 2025; Breitbart News, May 13, 2025)

      On May 10, Mexican national Briant Reyes Estrada allegedly left his 6-year-old son to die in a parked car during a hot day in Paso Robles, California. Reyes Estrada was apparently working at the Paso Robles Inn during the time. The illegal alien had pending charges of false impersonation, forging a driver’s license, and embezzlement from the fall of 2024, for which he was picked up on April 29 but subsequently released on bail. In October 2024, Reyes Estrada also had a restraining order placed on him after being fired from a hotel for recording other employees without their permission and going to his former manager’s home and acting in a threatening manner. According to San Luis Obispo District Attorney Dan Dow “ICE issued a detainer to deport this alien, but he was released from jail because of California’s sanctuary state laws. Had California allowed local law enforcement to honor the immigration detainer against this defendant, this child would be alive today.” (KGUN 9 Tucson, May 13, 2025; New York Post, May 16, 2025)

      On May 12, Elia Antonio was convicted of sex trafficking her 12-year-old daughter to Mexican illegal alien Juan Carlos Rocha Mejia in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. The crime occurred in May 2024, when Antonio accepted $250 from Rocha Mejia to be alone with her daughter. Rocha Mejia then sexually assaulted the child in his van after blinding and blindfolding her, but she subsequently managed to escape and obtain assistance. He had crossed the U.S.-Mexico border illegally in October 2021 and was released into the country. (Fox 11 News, May 12, 2025; Breitbart News, May 14, 2025)

      On May 13, police in Culpeper, Virginia arrested Jonathan Yalibath-Tecu after learning that, allegedly, he “had been sexually assaulting a minor family member for approximately 7 years while residing in the United States.” He was charged with object sexual penetration and ICE placed a detainer upon him.

        fp,

        Just imagine if the wily masked, armed ICE thugs had gone after criminals instead of kids, women and 80 year old men!!

        We get it. Real criminals are scary, clever and dangerous. It’s hard work to find and arrest them. It’s much easier to grab kids, women and old men attending legal proceedings.

        • fp says:

          All illegal aliens are criminals, which is why ICE is deporting them. I know it’s hard for you to understand, since there was very little law enforcement during the Bidenreich, and now all of a sudden laws are being enforced. It’s a bit of a culture shock, I know.

          Wasn’t it you who said, “No one is above the law”? Of course, no one thinks you actually believe that, the way you try to exempt illegal aliens, Democrats, and any other group that happens to be favored by the left.

    The hits just keep on coming.

    I don’t understand why these MSM companies can’t just STFU for 4 years and be done with Trump forever.

    No, so now we have this.

    Trump Sues Rupert Murdoch and the WSJ for Libel and Slander.

    Per JD VANCE on Social Media: Vice-President JD Vance poured scorn on the report, tweeting on Thursday: “Forgive my language but this story is complete and utter bullshit. The WSJ should be ashamed for publishing it. Where is this letter? Would you be shocked to learn they never showed it to us before publishing it? Does anyone honestly believe this sounds like Donald Trump?” YES it does sound like Trump but still I doubt the letter is real given the use of AUTO PENS can totally duplicate anyones signature these days.

    WHERE IS THIS LETTER? More of the same playbook. Just make something up and then peddle it as Truth.

    As far as the Epstein Report from what I am gathering the pages are highly redacted to conceal the names of people and there is no actual client list. Additionally the evidence is in the hands of two federal judges in NY and not the DOJ. In order for Bondi to release this information she would have to go to court and fight a years long battle to release this information…..This from the Attorney who defended Epstein and Israel……You know him, you love him……..he defended Trump in one of his impeachment trials.

    In fact almost all of the people that would be on that list are NOBODIES or are dead. The few somebodies have already been outted by press stories, books and other means already.

    I think the only reason Trump has not sued Musk is Must would spend 100 billion defending himself and bankrupting Trump for trying to prove libel and defamation over his tweets.

    AS the world BURNS………THE UK just had the king of England step in and stop Starmer from signing a secret treaty with the EU that would basically put the UK back into the EU fold with almost complete EU authority.

    THE US just placed tactical Nukes in the UK…..at least PUBLICLY. Russia has ammased 500,000 Troops in a little known area(to the Public)………The Kaliningrad Oblast is an oblast or “state” in the Russian Federation that’s completely surrounded by Poland, Lithuania, and the Baltic sea. Thanks to the geopolitical aftermath of World War II, this small Russian territory is in the curious position of not touching any other part of Russia.

    Trump just signed a treaty with China handing them high tech chips from NVIDIA in exchange for rare earths that China was shutting the USA off from.

    While the tariffs are working magnificiently the horrific after math of these is going to be that the world is looking around and taking notice of the USA treasury taking in tariff money hand over fist and the world investing in the USA and as a result they are thinking to themselves……..

    WHY DON’T WE DO THAT. So while the tariffs will be a short term boon for the USA in the end what we will have is a tariff war raging around the world in the coming decade that will ultimately force the world into World War 3.

    Russia and China and the EU are already preparing for it while the USA sells its defense to the UKRAINE for access to minerals they no longer own…..since Russia has taken over most of the area that these minerals are located….It is why Russia has not moved any farther into UKRAINE….they learned from Afghanistan….Putin has what he wants and his attentions are now on the Baltics and Poland while China is laser focused on Taiwan.

    The USA is screwed no matter how much they spend on defense

    from the Gabbard “Report” on Russia’s involvement in the 2016 election…

    The brief included a DHS expert on vulnerabilities of the system
    and overall risk due to cyber incident. We are working with CIA on a PDB
    submission on the threat. The thrust of the analysis is that there is no
    indication of a Russian threat to directly manipulate the actual vote count
    through cyber means.
    However, as seen in recent media reporting, any cyber
    activity directed against the election infrastructure is likely to have an
    effect on public confidence – even if the cyber operation is unsuccessful or
    not intended to impact the election (e.g. theft of PII from a voter
    registration database).

    Yawn. The Russians, for all of their involvement with he Trump’16 campaign DID NOT “directly manipulate the actual vote count through cyber means”. Of course, that is NOT what he Mueller probe was trying to determine! This whole shabang is just another MAGAt straw man!! LOL

    https://www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/documents/DIG/DIG-Declassified-Evidence-Obama-Subvert-President-Trump-2016-Victory-Election-July2025.pdf

    It’s hardly surprising that Director Gabbard is trying to get back in good graces with Donnie. And with the awful DOJ we have now, who knows how this will turn out.

    • drowningpuppies says:

      Who cares what Mueller concluded?

      Oh, that’s right, Obama and AutoPen.

      And of course, Rimjob.

    • Doom and Gloom says:

      I’m confused Mr. Dowd.

      I don’t think the MAGA crowd ever thought the Russians tried to steal the election. It was always CLINTONS position that the Russians were part of why she lost.

      ACCORDING TO WIKI: The Russian government conducted foreign electoral interference in the 2016 United States elections with the goals of sabotaging the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton, boosting the presidential campaign of Donald Trump, and increasing political and social discord in the United States.

      FROM NPR: Jun 1, 2017 · Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton argued Wednesday that Russian meddling in the 2016 election in large part cost her the White House, and said she was “leaning” toward…

      OH and there is this gem from HRC and the DEMS: Sep 19, 2017 · Hillary Clinton, in an interview that aired Monday on NPR, said she “would not” rule out questioning the legitimacy of the 2016 election if Russian interference is deeper than currently…

      A couple of EU elections used this very scenario to void elections of Right leaning politicians they did not like in their Union. France drummed up some charges against Marie Le Pen and made it so she cannot run for office for 5 years…cause she WON an election in an EU Nation that the ruling elite did not like……

      It is why Trump/Vance scolded the EU and NATO and has pulled their active support from them for trashing democratic ideals for Authoritarian mandates.

      On and on it goes across many pols on the left that LEARNED to HATE RUSSIA for a fake narrative driven by the HRC and OBAMA cabal.

      In the end it turned out to be petty hatred that Trump drew out of OBAMA that Gabbard is now reporting on with actual documents from the NDI, NSA and CIA where he directed his henchmen to sabotage someone who dared QUESTION HIS birthright.

      Oh the humanity. Such thin skinned pols these days.

      That is all the Russia, Russia, Russia thing has ever been about. The same with the McCain wing of the GOP which has grown to the size of a large PENIS these days. Or the Romney Wing that saw the poor guy forced to retire with a huge government endowment of benefits after voting to impeach the guy that called him a loser for losing a lead to Obama in the closing days of his presidential run.

      These people are all petty. The only one that has remained quiet is George Bush, whom I like personally, but who allowed himself to be turned into a massive war monger.

      • Elwood P. Dowd says:

        We’re sorry you’re confused. It’s not surprising given your Leader’s changing tales. But confusion is his objective.

        It is now MAGAt mythology that the involvement of Russia in our elections was/is an elaborate Democratic hoax. Russia wanted trump to win and worked to that end. Did it affect the outcome? Unknown.

        What Gabbard’s ‘investigation’ revealed was that Russia did NOT directly tamper with our voting machines. Neither the Obama nor Clinton groups claimed or even suggested they did. Your WIKI got it right.

        trump’s threats to political opponents is straight out of the fascist playbook. trump is stupid, arrogant and demented but no way he will go after Obama or the Clintons. He may direct his DOJ to ‘investigate’ some lower level former ‘deep staters’.

        trump: “I am your retribution”.

        • drowningpuppies says:

          Rimjob claims the President of the United States of America is stupid without producing any evidence.

          Bwaha! Lolgf Loser!
          MAGA Motherfucker!

        • Doom and Gloom says:

          The Caricature of the left Mr. Dowd is certainly confused.

          YOU WROTE TO WHICH I RESPONDED………..Yawn. The Russians, for all of their involvement with he ******Trump’16 campaign****** DID NOT “directly manipulate the actual vote count through cyber means”. In your first post.

          In response to my rebuttal you wrote:

          It is now MAGAt mythology that the involvement of Russia in our elections was/is an elaborate Democratic hoax.

          This is conflating two different elections. You pivoted to the 2020 election to try and protect your reply which was clearly in error and designed to protect Obama.

          But to that end the answer is Yes…It’s called the Steele Dossier created by Clinton and ordered up by Obama and a small group of his Intel Henchmen that are now under severe investigation.

          Somehow in your world it is okay to investigate and imprison Republicans….see many of Trumps lawyers and henchmen after the 2020 election.

          But when the right investigates the left for the same types of criminal mischief….IT is FASCISM.

          MAGA contends that the democrats certainly fixed the election in 2020 with ample proof that no judge would dare look at.
