I still have a feeling that so many of these newer ICE "officers" are from among the ranks of pardoned J6 rioters.

Somewhere there's a secret betting pool: which "team" can collect the most notches on their guns?

Minnesota was fastest out of the gate but faded early. Texas thought they were a shoo-in, but don't place yours bets just yet - the surprise dark horse Maine is moving up on the outside.

I would not be at all surprised if that's what these goons are doing..

[On a different topic: my sympathies about your neck. Would you be willing to post a brief note as to how well CBD ointments are working for you?]

What We the People must do to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity after reelecting this mob boss and surviving his mafia regime feels more and more like a special RICO case followed by a slate of constitutional amendments to make sure this kind of thing doesn't happen again followed by a administration dedicated of Truth and Reconciliation.

In her best selling book that sold over 50 million copies "YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE" Louise Hay claims our physical ailments are a manifestation of our thoughts and emotions; so a stiff neck would very likely be a symptom of Donald Trump being a walking holocaust pain in the neck. I have to be very careful as I am prone to evil thoughts of dismemberment that could result in losing limbs along with all my bodily organs. Take care to surrender to the greater wisdom of Mama Earth that all things are impermanent. This too shall pass.

Glad your neck is better! Glowing radioactively is good. Take care now. 🥰

I wonder if the order for ICE to keep stopping vehicles, if need by by shooting at them, came from Stephen Miller via Trump. He is the lead guy wanting things to be ferocious and cruel.

Last year, when ICE was arresting farmhands, a group of farmers got to Trump over a weekend and pointed out that these people, often settled in the US for years if not decades, were no threat to anybody and were doing valuable work in sowing and harvesting crops. Trump said he understood their concern and speculated that maybe the government could focus on more problematic immigrants.

That understanding lasted about two days, at which point the policy of searching and harassing resumed. Probably Miller read about it Monday morning and blew his top. Kindness or even humanity or even practicality are not on his agenda or in his toolbox.

This post is poignant and timely. Tonight he’ll continue his attempt to gain control of the midterm elections on national television. He’s obsessed with maintaining control of Congress to maintain power. Meanwhile, he’s amassing this masked army that operates beyond the reach of law enforcement.

Thank you for maintaining your insight while you’re dealing with physical incapacity.

Any shooting pain down arms? Shoulder pain? Good luck. Many of us have empathy.
