Night of the Long Knives....
🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style.
Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

The Oregonian is trying to find the middle-of-the-road with Trump's use of the military in Portland.
There's no avoiding Portland being Trump's political prop. Trump media creates its own reality. They lie.
The bottom line is Portland must resist Trump. Period.

The GOP is abusing the death of Charlie Kirk in order to go after liberals. Nothing will pry them loose from the persecution fantasy that the Left plotted to kill him.
Conservatives are the most victimized people on earth. Just ask them.🃏
Kirk would've approved of them doing this. That's who he was.

When Brian Kilmeade spoke about solving homelessness and said, "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them," he was expressing his love for them.
Any other interpretation would be an insult to the legacy of Saint Charlie and would result in your immediate deportation to Eswatini.

He'll conclude that Xi won because Xi rules with an iron fist, while Trump is hobbled by the deep state and paid protestors.
He'll demand more power, more control.
