Fundamental point made here. The one advantage we have over people in the past is that we can learn from them. Since we can we should. That’s the premise of my book "On Tyranny."

Simply horrifying. The whole of DHS has got to be disbanded. We did just fine without them before.

ICE claiming Hemorrhoids!
Fabricated lie to defend himself when he is ultimately investigated, arrest, arrested, tried, and convicted.

“DHS says” are the most relevant words in this story.

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

Tillis is spot on. The Senate can't confirm a Trump toady to succeed Powell at the Fed. The rest of the game is now out in the open, and it doesn't end well.

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

Meanwhile, Trumpettes are saying, Nothing to see here!
Amy Klobuchar: "There are now more ICE agents in Minnesota than there are police officers combined in Minneapolis and St. Paul. So they are outnumbering our own local police officers out on the streets."

If we go to war, no need to call up the reserves, mobilize the already mobilized ICE, DHS, and BP. These Government soldiers of fortune are the 5th Element.
