When The Secret Police Comes Knocking

Donny’s secret police have now raided the home of a US Representative….but no details were provided…

Federal agents searched Democratic US Rep. Ilhan Omar’s DC-area home on Monday morning as part of a criminal investigation, according to people familiar with the matter. The search was conducted by Homeland Security Investigations agents, said the people, who were not authorized to publicly discuss an ongoing investigation and spoke on the condition of anonymity. More details about the investigation were not immediately clear, reports the AP. An email seeking comment was sent Monday to a representative for Omar.

The Justice Department said in a statement Monday that HSI agents executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the department in the Washington, DC, area but provided no other details. “This enforcement action is part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation,” the department said. Omar, 44, represents Minnesota’s 5th District, including Minneapolis. She was first elected to the House in 2018 and has been known as a member of what’s called “The Squad” of female lawmakers known for their progressive views and pointed opposition to President Trump.

No details?  I have few ….she is a Muslim or she is an immigrants daughter or she is brown or she is a Dem and a member of the ‘the squad’ or…..

This is ridiculous and pathetic overreach by Donny and the mindless morons in the government.  Donny has hated this woman for 10 years.

After the raid Donny had plenty to say….

President Trump told reporters on Monday he had no role in the surprise federal raid of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s residence, but he sounded a note of support about it. “I think she’s a terrible person, but that’s really up to the DOJ—I have nothing to do with it,” he said, reports the Hill. Trump added that “I understand that they’re looking at her very carefully,” without providing details. “I’ve always found her to be a totally crooked personally.” The Justice Department has said only that the search relates to a criminal investigation, but multiple reports say the investigation centers on longstanding allegations from Omar’s critics on the right that her family committed immigration fraud when emigrating from Somalia decades ago.

Trump said, per NBC News. “She’s telling us about the Constitution, and she comes from one of the worst countries anywhere on the planet.” He triggered chants of “Deport!” about her and Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed of Michigan, whom he described as a “jihadist,” adding, “They don’t belong in America. Better get them the hell out of here.”

He called her a crook…..think about that for a moment….

What a douche!

But this incident gives me a chance to teach a little history….back in the early days of the USSR Lenin formed the Cheka, a secret police, that would ferret out enemies of the state (or so the story goes)….

The Cheka (Vecheka) Secret Police was created by Vladimir Lenin’s Soviet government in December 1917 to ruthlessly stamp out all opposition to the Bolshevik Revolution. During the Russian Civil War, the Cheka operated without restrictions of any kind, arresting, torturing, and executing without trial tens of thousands of citizens deemed enemies of the state.  The Cheka, dissolved in 1922, was the first of many Soviet incarnations of a secret police force which involved itself in every aspect of public and private life in the USSR.

Confused?  Think NKVD or KGB….if that still has one head scratching then think Gestapo tactics.

Donny has the FBI and DHS as his personal police force….ICE as his personal attack arm all in an attempt to hold onto his ‘revolution’….he just cannot have people in opposition to his will.

So was this raid on the Rep’s home in retribution for her opposition?

Trump has not been shy about wanting to use federal law enforcement to target his perceived political enemies. He’s pushed prosecutions of former FBI Director James Comey and New York’s Democratic Attorney General, Letitia James, following earlier probes the two launched against him. Omar, a left-wing firebrand, has been a longtime target of Trump and Republicans in general.

…

Omar has long criticized Trump, and the president has likewise gone after her repeatedly over the years. Trump late last week alluded to possible action against the congresswoman. At a rally in Tennessee on Saturday, Trump referred pejoratively to Omar as coming from a country of “crime and squalor” and suggested that Vice President JD Vance “and our people” were investigating her.

The agents who searched Omar’s home, pursuant to a federal search warrant, were Homeland Security investigators, indicating the investigation regards immigration issues. Several Trump officials have suggested that is how they intend to pursue Omar.

Vance has suggested before that Omar committed immigration fraud. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin last month cited an “ongoing investigation” that he suggested was examining potential fraud on her family’s immigration paperwork.

This is a pathetic attempt by a disgusting little man to influence an election.

The sooner we drop the presidential bozo the better.

Long Live The Fascists

Donny, Little Marco and the little nazi Miller have been pushing to make any opposition to their policies as Leftist terrorists (that would be me)….

For many decades the GOP has hated anyone that will not agree with their authoritarian policies and they now have the control to punish all those that disagree.

Trump administration officials on Thursday hyped up plans to carry out mass political arrests and prosecutions of people whom it deemed far-left terrorists.

In a speech given at the US State Department, Stephen Miller, President Donald Trump’s deputy chief of staff, described left-wing political violence as a “fatal cancer to civilization,” and boasted of plans to use state power to suppress people whom he called “political terrorists.”

Miller said that the administration would be carrying out this operation under the guidance of National Security Presidential Memorandum-7 (NSPM-7), a directive signed by Trump in September that demanded a “national strategy to investigate and disrupt networks, entities, and organizations that foment political violence so that law enforcement can intervene in criminal conspiracies before they result in violent political acts.”

Miller bragged that “for the first time in American history,” NSPM-7 would direct “all of our law enforcement and intelligence agencies to work together to disrupt, identify, defund, de-bank, arrest, prosecute these political terrorists that are operating within our country.”

Those three are not the only ones to hate other Americans….that demented little toad at ICE is as bad as any of these fascists shits…..

Instead of trigger-happy agents, he said that anti-ICE “rhetoric” from Democrats was to blame for the recent killings.

“It all goes back to the Dems who want to continually attack ICE and tell people to evade them and tell people don’t comply, tell people to resist, and tell people ICE isn’t a real law enforcement agency,” Homan said.

“You and I talked about this a year-and-a-half ago, Laura,” he continued. “I said, if the hateful rhetoric didn’t stop, there would be bloodshed.”

“I’m saying it right now,” Homan said. “There’s still going to be more bloodshed unless they shut their mouth and let ICE enforce the laws that they enacted.”

So no one can disagree with the actions of Donny’s Brown Shirts is that about right?

Anybody that supports this type of heavy handed tactics is as big a fascist as those that commit the deeds.

Is that clear enough?

DHS Barbie Out On Her Ass

Noem has been fired…..I am surprised for being such a Donny enabler that she might weather this storm after her days testifying….I was mistaken.

She is gone and we await the next d/bag in line for the hallow halls of DHS.

Kristi Noem’s turbulent run atop the Department of Homeland Security is ending with a reassignment and a replacement drawn from the Senate. President Trump announced Thursday that Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma will take over as DHS secretary, calling him “highly respected,” while saying Noem will shift to a new post as “Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas,” part of a Western Hemisphere security push the White House says it will roll out Saturday. The change takes effect March 31.

  • Months of speculation. The firing follows months of speculation about Noem’s future as public support for Trump’s aggressive deportation drive has eroded and even some Republicans questioned her leadership.
  • Trump “not a happy camper.” The president was unhappy with Noem about DHS’s heavily criticized surge in Minnesota, where two US citizens were fatally shot by officers, and about Noem’s Senate testimony on Tuesday defending a $200 million ad campaign that prominently featured her, sources tell the Washington Post. Noem told senators Trump had approved the campaign. GOP Sen. John Kennedy said Trump was “not a happy camper” when he spoke to him later that day. “The president’s recollection and her recollection are distinctly different,” he said.
  • Her new role. The White House says the Shield of the Americas is a regional policy initiative, guided by Trump’s “Donroe Doctrine,” to ensure security for the Western Hemisphere, the Hill reports. Noem’s role, like her role at Homeland Security, will include dealing with issues like illegal immigration and drug trafficking. Noem didn’t mention her ouster during an appearance at an event in Nashville on Thursday, but she later thanked Trump in a post on X. “In this new role, I will be able to build on the partnerships and national security expertise, I forged over the last 13 months as Secretary of Homeland Security,” she wrote.
  • Mullin. In a post on X, Mullin, whose appointment needs to be confirmed by the Senate, said, “I look forward to earning the support of my colleagues in the Senate and carrying out President Trump’s mission alongside the department’s many capable agencies and the thousands of patriots who keep us safe every day.” Mullin “has been a fighter for Oklahoma and will fight to keep our nation secure,” Gov. Kevin Stitt said in a statement, per the Oklahoma Voice. “There isn’t a better choice to lead the Department of Homeland Security.” He said he would appoint a “strong, small government conservative voice” to replace Mullin.
  • Democrats welcome the news. Democrats largely cheered her departure, the Post reports. Independent Sen. Angus King, who caucuses with Democrats, called Mullin “an upgrade, absolutely,” adding that “pretty much anybody is.” Sen. Cory Booker said Noem should still be “held to account for the corruption that she has shown with the contracting” and for what he described as violations of Americans’ constitutional rights. The Los Angeles-based Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights said her departure is “long overdue,” the AP reports. “For immigrant communities across the country, her leadership represented a dangerous escalation of policies that treated families and workers as targets rather than as human beings,” the advocacy group said, adding that her replacement must ensure agencies like ICE treat immigrants with “basic human respect.”

Her ousting was more about taking the heat off Donny than her….she will not go far for as an enabler Donny needs her close.

I do not believe this will be a new chapter for DHS just a continuation of the Donny policies.

Whatcha you think?

Is DHS Barbie On The Ropes?

DHS and its Goon Platoon have been wrecking havoc across many states in the last year…..and now after her testimony there is rumblings that Donny has had enough of her antics.

Is Kristi Noem’s job in jeopardy as head of Homeland Security? Punchbowl News reports that President Trump has been “quietly” calling top Republicans on Capitol Hill to ask if he should fire her. The development comes after Noem spent two grueling days being grilled by the Senate and House judiciary panels over DHS tactics, including the fatal shooting of two protesters. The outlet reports that House Speaker Mike Johnson also has mused behind closed doors about the possibility of a shake-up at DHS.

Earlier this month, Trump publicly backed Noem and said her job was safe, Politico reported at the time. “They were saying about Kristi Noem yesterday … ‘Sir, are you going to relieve Kristi Noem from her duties?’ No. Why would I do that?” Trump said. “We have the strongest border in the history of our country. We have the best crime numbers we’ve ever had, going back to the year 1900, that’s 125 years.”

But Punchbowl News, citing anonymous Republicans, suggests the sentiment is shifting as the bad press continues. What appears to have especially irritated Trump: Noem’s insistence under questioning from Sen. John Kennedy this week that the president personally signed off on a $220 million national ad campaign that prominently features her. The spots, filmed at Mount Rushmore and produced by a firm run by the husband of a former DHS spokesperson, have been criticized as boosting Noem’s political profile on the taxpayers’ dime. Kennedy warned the campaign put Trump “in a terribly awkward spot.”

Shake up the DHS?  What crap!

DHS is doing the hard lift for Dear Donny so what would a DHS shake up look like?

Personally I do not think she capable of independent thinking so anything she has done is the track Donny envisions.

Any thoughts?
