The DUmpster / Re: Karoline Leavitt's Family Member Captured By ICE Goons

Meanwhile in the real world, here's the story, with context of which DUmmies' posts prove they are ignorant:

Mother of Press Secretary's Nephew Detained by ICE

The blaring headline (from Spencer Hakimian, whoever he is) I initially saw on this was that it had been Karoline Leavitt's 'sister-in-law' who'd been snatched up.

Embedded X post
...
Well, yeah. The detention of this person by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is true. It happened during a traffic stop in Revere, Massachusetts, with her subsequent removal to an ICE processing center in Louisiana.

But while Bruna Caroline Ferreira is the mother of Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt's young nephew, what she is most definitely not is her 'sister-in-law.'\
...
It seems Ms Ferreira was at one time a DACA baby from Brazil. You'll notice the careful verbiage in the public radio report - 'migrated' versus 'immigrated.'
...
From the different, often confusing reports, it seems Ms Ferreira had entered on a tourist visa that required her to leave the country in June of 1999 - that makes for quite an overstay.

Her lawyer says that's all a terrible mistake. She's actually a DACA baby who's in the process of getting her green card.
...
The answer might well be in DHS's assertion that Ms Ferreira also has an arrest for battery, which would nullify her DACA status.
...
Karoline Leavitt's connection is her brother Michael, who, years ago, was once engaged to Ms Ferreira, with whom he had a son.

The couple never married, the little guy has always lived with his father, and the relationship broke up about ten years ago.
...
For her part, reports say the press secretary hasn't spoken to her nephew's mother 'in many years.'

Since Karoline Leavitt's brother is the the boy's only real parent, it's very likely that Karoline actually loves her nephew, contrary to chicoescuela's hate-driven racist ASSumption.

Karoline Leavitt's Family Member Captured By ICE Goons
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been personally linked to the brutal ICE raids sweeping America.

Her 11-year-old nephew’s mother, Bruna Ferreira, is now in custody at an ICE facility at Louisiana, facing deportation to Brazil.

Michael Leavitt, the press secretary’s New Hampshire-based brother, had a relationship with Ferreira, resulting in the birth of son Michael Leavitt Jnr.

Ferreira’s sister, Graziela Dos Santos Rodrigues, has started a GoFundMe campaign to raise money to fight the ICE charges and allow Bruna to remain in Boston. It has now raised over $14,000 of a $30,000 target.

To me it comes across as someone who cut ties with a relative because of political views and other relatives calling them out for their intolerance.

The DUmpster / Re: Looks Like Krasnov Won't Be Invading Venezuela
« Last post by zeitgeist on November 26, 2025, 02:30:09 PM »
Remind me, how far from Venezuela are:

* Kaliningrad and Vladivostok;

* Shanghai and Guangzhou;

* US naval bases in the Gulf of America, the Caribbean, and the Atlantic?

How many aircraft carriers does Russia have? How many aircraft carriers does China have and how often would they need to refuel enroute to the Colombian coast?

Putin's and Xi's promises are pretty hollow. And why are DUmmies cheering Putin's promise?

Depends on how what they use for fuel.  If they are nuclear .... they are good to go. :rimshot:

He Talked About TDS on Television. Now He's Getting Death Threats.

Quote
A psychotherapist recently went on Fox News to discuss Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) and described how many of his patients are suffering from the mental health condition.

Now he is receiving death threats, which shows that TDS is not only real but could be dangerous. Jonathan Alpert, a therapist and author, wrote an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal in which he discussed how many of his patients cite President Donald Trump as one of the reasons they are experiencing mental health problems.

During a prior appearance on Fox News, he said about 75 percent of his patients suffer from the condition.

People are now upset with his comments, according to Fox News Digital:

Quote
Alpert shared with Fox News Digital several messages he said he received via text and email over the past week.

"Eat s--t and die you racist fascist piece of s--t… f--king uneducated MAGA scumbag," one message read.

"Pedophile protector," another said.

"You're a lowlife, worthless fraudulent piece of s--t pedophile who decent people hope is slaughtered, and the video is posted to YouTube," a third message read.

Tom Homan: ‘Hold on Tight, We’re Tripling ICE Deportation Operations’

https://thepopulisttimes.com/tom-homan-hold-on-tight-were-tripling-ice-deportation-operations-watch/

Quote
Laura Ingraham spoke with Border Czar Tom Homan about the scale of ongoing immigration enforcement operations and the agency’s plans to increase personnel in the coming weeks.

Homan said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is preparing for a major expansion that will triple the size of its enforcement and removal teams.

Ingraham noted the rapid pace of activity since the start of the administration.
...
Homan responded by pointing to both the hiring surge and the results already recorded.

“Then come put a badge and gun on and give us a hand. ICE is hiring record numbers,” he said.

Homan added that current enforcement levels have surpassed historic benchmarks.

Quote
Bottom line is, I just said just about 650,000 deportation. That is several 100,000 more than the record that was back in 2012 so it was already historic operation.
...
Second of all, you got to consider the people who have left the country out of fear of being deported was over 1.6 million of them. So there’s well over 2.2 million left the country already. And that’s been the part of plan from beginning.
...
But hold on tight. We’re hiring 10,000 more that’s going beyond duty by mid January. That’s tripling the size, tripling the size of enforcement, move operations. Should we think the numbers are historic now wait till next year.

Dem Party hardest hit.

U.S. Military to Use Confiscated Chinese Drones for Target Practice.

https://thenationalpulse.com/2025/11/25/u-s-military-to-use-confiscated-chinese-drones-for-target-practice/

Quote
The State of Florida has found a use for the estimated 500 Chinese drones it has confiscated. Next month, the drones will be used by the United States Military for target practice during a three-day training exercise the Pentagon calls the “Military Drone Crucible.” Scheduled to begin on December 4, the United States National Drone Association (USNDA) is billing the event as “the largest counter-drone destruction event ever held in the United States.”

Rather than simply destroying the Chinese drones, U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM)—which is headquartered in Tampa, Florida—will use them to train American soldiers on the use of shotguns and other weapons in anti-drone combat. Small, inexpensive drones have seen significant battlefield use in the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, leaving many of the world’s most powerful militaries scrambling to adapt.

Counter-drone tactics are also becoming critical to American border security. In March, Border Patrol chief Mike Banks issued a stark warning to Mexican drug cartels over the use of drones in their drug smuggling operations. “We have seen cartel-on-cartel violence that involves drones. We prepare and train to be ready to fight the enemy on any ground,” he said, adding: We’re impacting the cartels’ ability to make billions of dollars.”

Developing and training in anti-drone tactics is a very worthwhile use of these confiscated drones. While the value of the targets saved from being droned more than balances the cost of an anti-air missile, 20 mm, .50 BMG, 5.56 NATO, and shotgun projectiles cost far less and are far more plentiful.
