The Morning Report — 7/ 15 /26

Good morning kids.

That this has become a cause cé·lèbre among all the usual suspects let alone the incident itself are both barometers of how our nation is on the verge of coming apart at the seams.

A person was fatally shot in Biddeford, Maine, during an encounter with a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer. Witnesses report that the individual who was shot appeared to be attempting to run over the ICE officer before the officer discharged his weapon. . . The shooting in Maine follows another deadly shooting involving ICE in Houston, Texas, last week. Mexican national Lorenzo Salgado Araujo is also accused of having “rammed an ICE law enforcement vehicle, refused to follow multiple verbal commands, and weaponized his vehicle in an attempt to run over an ICE law enforcement officer,” although this is disputed by passengers presented in the vehicle at the time. Mexico is attempting to sue the U.S. over the incident. 

Kamala Harris condemned the ICE agents involved in the fatal shooting of a Colombian national who allegedly tried to run them over in Maine.

William Kristol, the NeverTrump icon and supporter of President George Bush, wants to destroy the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency that protects Americans from nation-changing, wage-slashing mass migration.
“Abolish ICE. Now,” Kristol posted on Monday... Kristol’s support for replacement migration is deeply unpopular among GOP-aligned and swing-voting Americans, largely because of the economic damage. The result is that Kristol and his former-GOP allies at The Bulwark are increasingly aligning themselves with pro-migration Democrats.

Yeah, totally shocking that Chlamydia Harris and Kristol meth are blasting away at ICE. But, Markwayne Mullin? The head of the DHS who in that position is running ICE for and at the behest of the man who ut him there, Prsident Trump.

In response, Mullin ordered that all ICE officers in the country stop pulling over vehicles in order to do their jobs. The method of pulling over vehicles is one of the most effective and preferred tools for ICE officers, as at-home arrests increase the possibility of danger with access to weapons, according to the Daily Wire, which first reported the directive. At-home arrests also require a judicial warrant, whereas traffic stops do not.

In other words, Mullin’s caving means more ICE agents will be put at risk while fewer deportations will be possible.

Foreign invading criminals are using lethal force to avoid apprehension and deportation and one of our lead law enforcement officers is ordering his front line agents to essentially stand down and become targets. What Mullin should be doing is standing behind his troops and publicly urging them to do their duty and announce that the use of lethal force to defend one's life in the line o duty will always be our policy.

Better put some ICE on those fat putrid lips!

It's insanity like this that encourages not only the illegals to invade and remain here but the criminals who use this issue among every other issue under the sun to use violence and intimidation to overthrow America as founded.

. . . revolutionary movements often convince themselves that one spectacular act of bloodshed will awaken the public and spark sweeping political transformation. History shows otherwise, but the fantasy persists because every generation imagines it will succeed where the last one failed.

One of the interview’s most compelling moments came during a discussion of what Rothman calls the “permission structure” surrounding violence. Contrary to popular belief, widespread support isn’t necessary.

If only a small percentage of the population embraces political violence while everyone else hesitates to condemn it, whether out of fear, tribal loyalty, or ideological convenience, the normalization process begins. Silence becomes accommodation. Accommodation becomes acceptance. Acceptance becomes encouragement.

Sadly it's more than a small percentage and it and the others who may not hurl a molotov cocktail but who cheer on those who do make up a frighteningly large percentage of the populace, and all of them are Democrat/Leftists.

As I hinted at in previous posts, one cannot debate or otherwise reason with cancer. It must be eradicated, mercilessly, and excised from the body politic root and branch. How we are to do that in a manner that is in keeping with our values, heritage and abhorrence of violence is a big question mark. It is my fervent hope and prayer that the good Lord opens their eyes, hearts and minds to the evil they either perpetrate or otherwise support and make them repent and turn away and back towards a path of righteousness and decency. Before it's too late, for all of us.

Have a good day,

President Donald Trump announced on February 28 that the former “supreme leader” was eliminated in the first American airstrikes as part of Operation Epic Fury, a campaign to erode Iran’s ability to pose a threat to its neighbors.
