Federal Judge Blocks Trump From Sending
Troops to Portland

A federal judge has permanently blocked President Donald Trump from deploying the National Guard to Portland. U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut issued the 106-page ruling on Friday for the lawsuit filed after Trump sent troops to secure U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities. The state of Oregon, the city of Portland, and the state of California sued Trump, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and Defense Secretary Kristi Noem. [Tweets] The ruling said that there wasn't enough violence at the protests to require the National Guard, and local police broke up the fights.

Last month, I reported that, despite what politicians said, Memphis residents were excited for Donald Trump to send the National Guard in to clean up their crime-ridden city. The president created a Memphis Safe Task Force, whose job was to "end street and violent crime in Memphis to the greatest possible extent." It sounds like the task force, which is comprised of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies and authorities, has been quite successful, especially for families with young children.
The United States Marshals Service announced on Saturday that since the task force began, 101 missing children in the Memphis area have been found and returned to their homes.
Some days it feels like I ask too much of you, gentle reader, and yet here I go again, asking you to hate the mainstream media more than you already do. But I have three new reasons just this morning.
So settle in while I share today's Trifecta of Suckitude, but first, take a deep breath, set aside your coffee, and take any prescribed blood pressure medications.
Just in time for Veterans Day comes this gem from Newsweek Senior Defense Reporter Ellie Cook: "Memorial to Black US Soldiers Who Died in WW2 Quietly Removed."

Forty Days Wasted
3 replies
Forty days and nights. That’s how long the Democrats wasted your time.
Forty days of grandstanding, finger-pointing, and “we care more than you” speeches.
And for what?
Nothing.
After shutting down the government, threatening paychecks, and holding the country hostage over Obamacare subsidies, eight Senate Democrats finally blinked. They crossed the aisle and voted to reopen the government—with none of their big demands met.
That’s not leadership. That’s surrender.
They spent six weeks making America miserable just to end up right where they started. Except now, everyone knows they flinched.
An illegal immigrant has been arrested after allegedly opening fire on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Chicago over the weekend. The suspect reportedly drove by the agents in a Jeep on Saturday in the city’s Little Village neighborhood, firing several shots before speeding away during an ongoing immigration enforcement operation.
The suspect has not been identified, but is known to be a Mexican citizen and was in possession of a firearm at the time of his arrest. The suspect has a lengthy criminal record, including charges of illegal entry, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon/vehicle, and felony possession of a weapon.
In another highway operation targeting dangerous drivers, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and Oklahoma Department of Public Safety arrested 70 foreign nationals driving on interstate highways in Oklahoma.
In two days, they arrested drivers from 15 countries – all in the U.S. illegally. The majority had driver’s licenses in violation of federal law and Oklahoma state law.
During “Operation Guardian,” ICE and DPS Highway Patrol troopers working through ICE’s 287(g) program arrested illegal foreign nationals driving semi-trucks in violation of state commercial driver’s license laws and federal immigration law.
“Operation Guardian continues to successfully keep Oklahomans safe,” Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt said.
After the initial shock wore off, it became quite clear to many of us that something nefarious was behind the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the Capitol Complex. Things were too pat. Narratives were set and eagerly parroted by the media within hours. Buses filled with non-MAGA people were reported and verified by congressional reps. And there were "bombs" found at the Democratic National Committee and later at a club near the RNC. Impeachment talk was openly discussed.
Suddenly, questioning the obviously hinky 2020 election was a criminal act against democracy. Trump must go to jail, the left said. And then they went about trying to make that happen.

Doxxer – Democrat Officials Are Trying

Democratic officials are reportedly hampering a Justice Department investigation into an individual believed to have doxxed and stalked White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.
The case centers on 66-year-old Barbara Wien, a retired professor and activist. She is accused of posting flyers in Miller’s Virginia neighborhood that listed his home address and referred to him as a “Nazi.” The flyers claimed Miller is “wanted for crimes against humanity” and displayed a QR code linking to an activist Instagram account.

Video footage captured Wien making a gesture toward Miller’s wife,
The Latest Teen Craze Has a Dark Edge
8 replies
In more innocent times, teenagers became notorious at various times for swallowing goldfish, seeing how many people they could stuff into a phone booth (look it up, kids), and smoking lots of hash. Now, the latest teen craze has a decidedly more sinister edge: over the last few days, Muslims in their late teens and early twenties have been arrested in Michigan, New Jersey, and Washington state. All of them were at various stages of the planning of jihad mass murder plots.
The plots largely revolved around rich kids with plenty of time on their hands and a newfound, brightly burning hatred. Nineteen-year-old Milo Sedarat,
About 28 people – including eight members and associates of MS-13 – have been charged on a variety of charges involving trafficking in fentanyl, methamphetamine, and cocaine, carjacking, assault on law enforcement, use of firearms during the commission of a violent crime, unlawful possession of firearms, and immigration offenses, announced Acting United States Attorney Robert E. McGuire for the Middle District of Tennessee.
These prosecutions are part of the Homeland Security Task Force initiative established by Executive Order 14159, Protecting the American People Against Invasion.
The Nashville HSTF comprises agents and officers from Homeland Security Investigations, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives, the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
Until the time that Barack Obama took office, I had a reasonable amount of faith in the U.S. federal government. I knew that those on the Left in positions of leadership, as well as some on the Right, often concocted narratives for their own ends. The mainstream media decidedly leaned Left, and shaded every story, feature, event, and happening in the U.S. and around the world to their own point of view. Still, it was easy enough to get past what they were claiming.
Maybe Some Good Could Result
With the ascension of Barack Obama and his subsequent election as POTUS, I thought, okay, I’d never vote for him,

I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.

It’s time to adjust our sails. On the heels of Tuesday’s electoral victories, the Democrats are motivated and energized: In their estimation, the so-called “Schumer Shutdown” is working marvelously, because the American people are blaming the Republicans.
And the Democrats are reaping the political benefits.
That’s because voters know that the White House, Senate, and House are all under GOP control, but they don’t really understand the nuances of parliamentary procedure. (Yawn: boring!) Instead of focusing on the 60-man threshold necessary to overcome a Democratic filibuster, they’re focusing on leadership:

Incredible: Kamala Harris Claims Her 2024
Campaign Was '3D Chess' That Outmaneuvered Trump 35 replies
Campaign Was '3D Chess' That Outmaneuvered Trump 35 replies
Kamala Harris is continuing her push toward yet another run for president, and that's leading to some awkward exchanges. As RedState reported, the failed 2024 Democrat nominee and former vice president is peddling a new book, doing her best to rewrite history in her favor. Part of that requires convincing Americans that she wasn't given a fair shot, both because of Joe Biden's late exit from the race and the dynamics surrounding President Donald Trump. Of course, that's not really the truth, is it? She's going to try, though, and that apparently includes claiming her 2024 campaign was "3D chess" in which she outmaneuvered Trump.
Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Patel have produced to Congress a new cache of documents showing how Bill and Hillary Clinton's foundations collected money from foreign and domestic interests seeking influence -- raising fresh concerns that such evidence was kept from federal prosecutors who tried to investigate pay-to-play allegations against the first family a decade ago.
Kamala Harris is back once again with an extremely interesting new angle on her 2024 election failure.
Her memoir "107 Days" was released a couple of months ago, and she is about to wrap up her book tour (one that Democrats aren't too wild about, by the way) with a final stop on November 20. Not too terribly long ago, Harris told Stephen Colbert she was stepping away from politics because the "system is broken" — only to tease a 2028 run at the end of October.
For reasons known only to herself, former First Lady Michelle Obama has been on an extended whinefest the last few months, consistently moaning about her oh-so-awful life as a multi-millionaire and complaining about her past treatment from the press, who in reality treated her like some sort of goddess despite the fact that she is bitter, unsympathetic, and utterly entitled.
In one of her recent rants, she went after Trump’s plans to (self-finance) a White House ballroom, which would serve the nation long after he is gone from office. The horror! Like many Democrats who have been acting as if the East Wing of the People’s House

shutdown: insurers made billions at taxpayer expense 19 replies
The 42-day federal shutdown forced by Democrats thrust the economics of Obamacare into the limelight, and exposed an uncomfortable truth: An insurance industry whose executives are increasingly liberal donors has seen its earnings soar with the injection of taxpayer-funded subsidies that propped up Barack Obama's signature health program from collapse.
The nation’s largest health insurance companies have seen good business since Obamacare was first passed in 2010 and fully implemented in 2014. This has come in no small part because of federal government subsidies to the insurance industry, which government estimates show totaled $1.8 trillion in 2023 alone.
A 2,500-foot bridge partially collapsed in China following a landslide on the mountain where it was built.
The Hongqi Bridge was only just completed earlier this year.
It was part of a highway that links Sichuan and the nation’s heartland with Tibet
Harrowing video of the incident shows the landslide pounding rubble onto the bridge, with the span collapsing under the weight and impact.[snip]
The Hongqi bridge was completed earlier this year to create an easier connection between Sichuan and the Tibetan Plateau.
Federal agents in Chicago are facing a nightmare most of us can’t imagine: a violent street gang has literally issued a “shoot-on-sight” order against them. According to Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the Latin Kings have targeted immigration enforcement officers working in the city, leading the agency to warn its teams to use “extreme caution.”
Shots were fired. Agents’ vehicles were rammed. Bricks and paint cans were thrown at Border Patrol trucks in the Little Village neighborhood during ongoing immigration operations. This isn’t happening in some failed foreign state. It’s happening on American streets.
Three generations of a Dutch family have been the caretakers of an American soldier’s grave since 1945 — and promise future descendants will do the same.
Ernest Francis Fichtl Jr., from the Little Neck neighborhood of Queens, was killed during one of World War II’s bloodiest European battles and is buried at Netherlands American Cemetery and Memorial in Margraten.
But until recently, his family back in New York did not know that his grave site is lovingly tended to by his adopted family in the Netherlands. And it’s not the only one. Since the end of the war in Europe in 1945, Margraten residents have honored the sacrifice of

A bloody brawl broke out at a sold-out event for Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA at the University of California, Berkeley — with keffiyeh-clad protesters clashing with attendees and cops in disturbing scenes.
One man could be seen with blood gushing from his face after getting into a fight with an agitator as the campus event for the group was kicking off late Monday, Fox News reported.
Police were spotted pulling the two men apart as anti-Turning Point demonstrators – including some donning keffiyehs – tried to intervene.
At least two people had already been arrested, including one for battery, before the event got underway, police said.
The largest school district in Alaska is facing controversy after the recent revelation it had added a “disclaimer” to the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution.
Must Read Alaska reported Saturday that the disclaimer reads “The Anchorage School District does not endorse these materials or the viewpoint expressed in them.”
A student in the district discovered the disclaimer and showed her mother, who then posted about it on Facebook.
“I was honestly stunned,” the mom wrote. “These aren’t controversial documents, they are the foundation of our country and what our students are supposed to be learning about. Why would a school need to distance itself from the very principles we are built on?

Immigrants seeking visas to live in the US could be rejected if they have certain common medical conditions, including obesity, cancer or diabetes, according to reports.
The guidance, issued in a cable sent by the State Department to embassy and consular officials, directs visa officers to weed out applicants entering the US based on their age or the likelihood they would need to rely on public benefits, according to a directive examined by KFF Health News.
“You must consider an applicant’s health,” the cable obtained by the outlet said. “Certain medical conditions — including, but not limited to, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, cancers, diabetes, metabolic diseases, neurological diseases, and mental health

Welcome to the fourth installment of my "Tracking China in the Americas" series, in which I cover some underreported stories on China's footprint in the Western Hemisphere. I actually had something different planned for this week — a deep dive into how China is reaching out to young people in the Western Hemisphere — but when I saw this bridge fall, I knew I had to switch gears. Anything to point out what China does wrong should spread far and wide. So, check back in next week for the young people stuff. Let's get to the Hongqi Bridge.
