Raiklin played his role to perfection. While Fanone was visibly shaking with rage, Raiklin remained physically calm, questioning why the former officer was "losing his cool." This is a classic tactic of the bully.

Under the leadership of Kristi Noem and with Greg Bovino strutting around as ICE’s poster boy, what we are witnessing is not immigration enforcement. It is something darker. Something dystopian.

As for the movie itself, it is a cinematic lobotomy. "Melania" is not a documentary in any journalistic sense. It is a 104-minute perfume commercial without the scent. It is a high-gloss, airbrushed hagiography that presents the First Lady not as a human being,

The truth of why ICE is in Minneapolis is both cynical and embarrassing. The terminally online officials of the Trump White House saw an opportunity to exploit the attention that YouTube influencer Nick Shirley

The betrayal also came from the border itself. Henry Cuellar and Vicente Gonzalez, both representing Texas districts, voted yes. These are men who see the impact of immigration policy firsthand.

The Trump regime had an exhibit on slavery at Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia removed, calling it “corrosive ideology.” It was called “Freedom and Slavery in the Making of a New Nation,” and it honored nine people enslaved by George Washington.

The "breeding program" of this new state is perhaps the most disturbing element. Dryden Brown, founder of Praxis and a darling of this network, has openly called for "hot girls" to move to his new nation to "create more beautiful life".

Imagine modern skyscrapers akin to Dubai. Imagine white sand beaches and hotels. Imagine first class restaurants. And imagine them all sitting atop the world's biggest mass grave.
The New York Times, the so-called "paper of record." presents Jared Kushner's plan as "glittering."

This shift to bilateralism means the U.S. will pick and choose its health partners like it picks trade partners. Instead of a coordinated global defense against pandemics, we will have a patchwork of side deals.

And when Trump threatened to put tariffs on the exports of nations that have sent troops to Greenland, Europe didn’t cower in submission — it got ready to strike back at U.S. businesses.

The plan for the federal workforce was also laid out in advance. Russell Vought, now the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, explicitly said he wanted to create "shadow agencies" and make federal workers "wake up in trauma."

Trump threatens to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota after protests:
Trump waddles in front of a microphone and pretends to be “concerned” about violence in Minneapolis, but anyone with a functioning brain and even a shred of patriotism understands
