mexicans are now living in terror of ICE rappelling through their apartment window and you're laughing?

Feds rappelled from Black Hawk helicopters during Chicago raid to target alleged Tren de Aragua gang members.

The operation involved around 300 federal officers.

Israel's contract to pay influencers some $7,000 per post is running "right now," journalist Nick Cleveland-Stout tells Glenn Greenwald.

"We don't actually know as of right now who the influencers are," he says. "There's between 14 and 18 influencers that are part of this program."

Cleveland-Stout says he thinks this is "the first real smoking gun" that the Jewish state is "paying influencers to post on behalf of Israel."

Trump or someone in the Trump government appears to be deliberately manufacturing a state of “tension.”

Highly publicized and dramatic ICE raids in the most liberal cities like Portland and Chicago almost seem designed to invite a response from Left-Wing agitators.

ICE agents appear to be acting more adversarial and provocative toward these agitators than any law enforcement I’ve ever seen.

Left Wing agitators are assembling to protest at detention facilities and attacking ICE in the field which creates the need for national guard or federal DHS/DoW troops to protect ICE. Surely this will be met by more aggressive tactics from demonstrators.

If this is a calculated strategy to climb up the escalation ladder and force an intense confrontation between law enforcement and the radical Left, one which leads to a collapse of the Left, then that is a very interesting scenario.

I fear that the Trump administration lacks the will and follow through to do what is necessary to win a true...

🇺🇸 The Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow says the U.S. is growing at +3.8%.

But Moody’s Analytics finds 22 states + D.C. already in recession, from Washington to Georgia to Massachusetts.

So... are we booming, or breaking?

Moody’s chief economist Mark Zandi says the U.S. is “on the precipice” of a damaging contraction.

Job losses are mounting in states tied to manufacturing, farming, and transport, while high-cost states like Georgia are now seeing population pullbacks.

Even California and New York are “treading water.”

GDP paints one picture - broad averages lifted by consumer spending and services.

But the micro data tell another story...goods-producing regions are cracking.

In past cycles, state-level recessions often lead national ones.

The fissures start small… until real cracks appear

Zandi blames policy uncertainty: tariffs, job cuts, and stalled labor growth.

Others say the slowdown’s overhyped.

Either way, 22 recessions inside one economy isn’t a "no ...

"Ceasefire / Assessment

a) Israel:
1. Every time Israel has relied on the stupidity of the "Palestinians" it has worked. Historically.
2. It is better to bet on the "Palestinian" ineptness than to bet on conflicts with the superpowers.
3. Israel is still at war and has never gone "all out" on all arenas at once and this has paid off.

Note: It is not to be ruled out that there is preparation for an Israeli invasion of southern Lebanon due to Hezbollah's refusal to disarm, perhaps the completion of the work against the remnants of Iran, or a diplomatic process to complete the Abraham Accords.

B) The struggle against the PA
1. Historically, there is no "Palestinian establishment" that can make operational decisions or accommodate concessions. Hence, the Israeli gamble always pays off from 1948 until the Bar-Ilan speech (Netanyahu accepting the idea of a Palestinian State in the Obama era - JP)
2. Hamas cannot accommodate "disarmament" because then it will be slaughtered, as it slaughtered Fatah after the ...
