So I had a dental appointment cancellation yesterday
because in the somewhat impoverished area in which i practice on Wednesdays, which possesses a heavily Hispanic population, we received a phone call from a child’s mom telling us that ICE was present around the school and she did not send her child to school nor does she wish to leave the house.
THIS…is “who we are” now. And I don’t want to hear the phrase “This isn’t who we are” ever again. This is what we are and are increasingly becoming very very quickly.
Oh and one more thing: I was speaking with a good friend who has excellent politics as we would say here, and it was right after the Minneapolis shooting of Ms. Good. I exclaimed to him, “DID YOU ****ING SEE THAT HORROR?” To which he replied, “No, I can’t watch stuff like that.” And then he added, “But she DID try to hit him with her car.” Not a question, a statement.
To which I replied, “No she did NOT. And, if you had watched it, you’d know that they’re lying through their teeth AS ALWAYS.” His follow-up: “Oh, ok.”
I rest my case. We have arrived when even the good guys are in the can.

Multiple American citizens previously detained in Venezuela have been released, the Trump administration announced Tuesday, a development officials described as a step toward improved cooperation with Venezuela’s interim authorities, as reported by the New York Post.
In a statement issued Tuesday evening, the U.S. State Department said, “We welcome the release of detained Americans in Venezuela,” adding, “This is an important step in the right direction by the interim authorities.”
The department did not specify how many U.S. citizens were freed.
A person familiar with the matter, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss non-public details, said four Americans were released together on Tuesday, while another was quietly released on Monday.

First, why are his city's police stretched so thin?
Second, ICE is not creating chaos; the people who want to impede ICE are.
Third, the level of illegal immigration in this country is what's unsustainable.
And finally, if you don't want two government agencies fighting each other, then Walz probably shouldn't threaten to use the National Guard against ICE.

Like Minneapolis, Portland has multiple anti-ICE groups. You've seen these larpers for months rioting and protesting outside the ICE facility in Portland. They want to stop the feds from deporting rapists, murderers, and other bad guys from the country in the name of nobility.
The shooting occurred when the Tren de Aragua member, who was ordered deported in 2024 (this is called "due process"), used his prostitution colleague's Toyota Tacoma truck to repeatedly ram the Border Patrol officers who were trying to arrest them. Both the driver, Luis Nino-Moncada, and his prostitution colleague, Yorlenys Betzabeth Zambrano-Contreras, the passenger, got away — but not before the officers fired a few rounds to stop them from mowing them down.
...
Right after the shooting, one of the first responders reportedly alerted PDX ICE Watch to gather a mob at the scene to protect the Tren de Aragua gangsters from Border Patrol officials. The TdA mobsters were running a prostitution ring in Portland and were wanted in connection with at least one other Oregon shooting incident.
Reporter Andy Ngo discovered that a first responder — an ambulance driver or EMT — alerted Portland ICE Watch to do what they do: gather a mob, protest, block ICE, and protect the bad guys.
At this point the sourcing seems to be annoymorous, so consider the story rumor-grade at this point.

1. I doubt MPD has a LOT of officers who oppose what ICE is doing.
2. Even those who do might be very disinclined to engage ICE in ways likely to end their law enforcement careers and maybe even earn prison time.

Minneapolis police chief Brian O'Hara has had to put up with a lot considering that most of his city leaders are completely CORRUPT. However, the mayor, Jacob Frey, might have taken the situation in Minneapolis one mental hurdle too far when he claimed the city residents wanted the police to FIGHT ICE. You can see O'Hara's reaction to that claim by the way his eyebrows JUMPED the moment those words left Frey's mouth. Don't be too surprised if a police chief resignation letter will soon follow Frey's rant.

The DUmpster / Re: A simple (but serious) question about DUers
« Last post by SVPete on January 15, 2026, 10:58:11 AM »It's harder to answer than it should be. I know of a guy (through mutual friends) who is a very good engineer. He works in an environment that demands answers to complex problems (meaning fast talk and bullshit won't cut it) You find workable solutions to problems from every conceivable angle. He does his job well. However, people meeting him for the 1st time are often warned to stay away from politics. If provoked, don't take the bait. His stream of logic pertaining to his work is effective in solving problems. But, allow politics to enter and he's known to go bizarre with conspiracy theories like 9/11 was an inside job. His system of logic evaporates. It's enough for his co-workers to feel it necessary to warn others about.
I think Savage got it right. Liberalism is a mental disorder. Applied to his specific failings, it means, 'You can't fix stupid". And some people in certain subjects are going to be stupid. They ignore logic, history, etc., to prevent their politics from being challenged.
Several decades ago I had a similar coworker, very senior engineer, yada, yada, yada. He was an avowed socialist (his words) and could not say "Reagan" without one or more epithets. Avoiding politics with him was necessary, and, thankfully, I did not have to work much with him directly.
Speaking of myself, I have strong views, obviously, but I will listen, and if someone has facts I do not, I'm persuadable.
