Recalling Life's 1939 Joe DiMaggio profile: "Joe, now twenty-four, speaks English without an accent and is otherwise well-adapted to most U.S. mores. Instead of olive oil or smelly bear grease he keeps his hair slick with water. He never reeks of garlic and prefers chicken chow mein to spaghetti.”

Good morning! No, ICE hasn’t fucked off from Minnesota yet. There are still around 2,000 agents here arresting people, even though we just don’t have many deportable people. We never did.
Trump DHS claims 1360 deportable individuals subject to ICE detainers in MN prisons and jails. Real number is closer to 300. This bogus inflated number is why they say they're here. They can go home now.
ICE detainer numbers in Minnesota don't add up: Surge fact check
Questions are being raised about the accuracy of deportable criminal numbers in Minnesota as federal and local figures don't match up.

This shows that the tide is turning...in every way. Yay!
🔥 UPDATE: The tally is in. Shareholders of Visa voted to reject an anti-DEI proposal by a tally of 98-1 percent (1% abstained) at the #$V annual meeting last month.
Shareholders of 33 out of 33 corporations have voted overwhelmingly to reject anti-DEI proposals in 2025-6.

The pathetic spectacle of Kid Rock's botched lip-syncing is the perfect metaphor for a movement that fakes its passion, its talent, and its connection to a real America that left it behind.
Kid Rock Roasted for Lip Syncing Through TP USA’s ‘All-American’ Super Bowl Halftime Show: ‘More Egregious Than Ashlee Simpson’
Kid Rock was skewered by many people who noticed he was obviously lip syncing during Turning Point USA's "All-American" halftime show on Super Bowl Sunday

REP. STEIL: Some Dems demands put at risk the safety of members of law enforcement
CNBC: You mean like taking off their masks and having a badge that shows who they are?
STEIL: Well, they're known to their supervisors
