It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

Can you ignore the ICE police?
If an officer stops you, you may ask if you are free to leave. If they say yes, walk away calmy. If they say no, stay where you are and do not attempt to leave. You do not have to speak to ICE, answer any questions, or show any documents.
