He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior “deescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational
Homan: "Operation Metro Surge is ending. In the next week, we're going to deploy the officers here on detail back to their home stations or to other areas of the country where they're needed."

Public office isn’t supposed to be a private revenue stream.
4 months after Trump pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, Forbes reports that Binance now holds $4.7 billion of the $5.4 billion supply of Trump’s World Liberty Financial stablecoin. That is 87%. It is the largest corruption scandal in the history of the US presidency.

Until recently, America was one of the few large nations *not* facing population & then economic collapse.
Why? Immigration! People wanted to come here.

The UK faces a demographic disaster. By 2030, if net migration falls to 0% then the UK total population will top out at 70m.
That means more old people and fewer carers.
According to one think tank it also implies a reduction of GDP by 3.6%.

For my part, I think that being friendly with a convicted pedophile shows the kind of bad judgement that should disqualify people from any large leadership position. But to many people occupying those leadership positions, Epstein's pedophilia conviction seems to have felt like an asset.
