We know what’s coming and we are prepared.

Adding on from a conversation with the Monument PD officer who referenced a bulletin the agency received as well as conversation with El Paso County deputies;
Callahan and El Paso County Sheriff's both doing shift change at 1600, going from a whopping 4 law enforcement officers in Northeast El Paso County to 0 for about a half an hour. Based on my observation Elbert County to shift change around then also.
Northeast Colorado Springs and Monument getting robberies and burglaries daily from both tweakers and Latin gangs impersonating food delivery, FedEx, and Amazon drivers. This particular officer lives in Elizabeth off County Road 13 and he's had Latino suspected gang members knocking on his door and then going around and checking the other doors and looking through the windows according to his security cameras.
All of El Paso County having vehicles broken into daily and the deputy recommended if we have a CCW and we leave our vehicle carry our gun don't leave it in the vehicle.
A cute little crime spree in southern Colorado Springs, Fountain, Security Widefield areas, where some group specifically went after law enforcement and military identified vehicles and estimates are at least 50 sets of plate carriers and helmets were stolen in a one week period.
Southeast El Paso County had incidents where Latino men were on dirt roads blocking them as if there's road hazard, sometimes putting out a cone or two, and then when people stopped they were ambushed from the right and left side and robbed. Advice given was if it does not look like official road crew with large barriers and large reflective signs to either push through people saying "stop there's a hazard" or if you could identify it early to stop turn around and go the other way, don't even take the risk of an ambush.
Overall theory from officer was that the cities have so much competition for crime territory that these people are coming out to the country to explore uncontested targets of opportunity.
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 ...
