I am amused, though I guess I shouldn’t be, by the theft of Kristi Noem’s purse in DC over the weekend. Crime is ever-present and losing your belongings at a restaurant is unfortunate. But Ms Noem is head of Homeland Security, a vast security organization charged with protecting US citizens. The irony, and Trump administration incompetence, is front and center here. She and two secret service agents couldn’t prevent this theft. How well is she doing with the country?
Phrase to be retired: "President Trump's agenda." This is invoked in defense of the indefensible. DoD apologists say they are advancing President Trump's agenda, as though this is the pinnacle of sanctity. What about "United States policy," United States interests," "the well-being of the American people?"
3. Flash: Rep. Don Bacon, a prominent Republican and former Air Force general, has become the first GOP lawmaker to publicly call for the removal of Pete Hegseth.
4. National security is the tie that binds. Hegseth is a dream opponent....
Contrarian should be concentrating on the many Congressional Republicans who are unhappy with Trump. We need to get them to come to their senses and stand up with us. https://jerryweiss.substack.com/
You should do an article on the status of undocumented farm workers in California.
A very old friend married to a Mexican lady lives near the Central Valley. He is street smart about undocumented farm workers in the Central and Salinas Valleys.
Since there seems to be hardly any reporting on whether ICE is going after these farm workers, I asked my friend for info on what’s going on.
He says that word on the street is that Trump is telling his goons to “leave them in the field to do their work”. Apparently there are no takers when big ag asks for legal farm workers.
Instead ICEis going after onesy twosies they pick off the street, or college campus, hospitals, court buildings. And deporting hispanic mothers to Honduras with little kids being treated for cancer where they’ll likely die

1. Trump would have deported Jesus!
2. What did Vace do to the Pope?

Total cruel hipocracy.
