Sports As A Weapon

Recently it was announced that Bad Bunny will be the headline for the Super Bowl….and the Trump Admin went into over drive to use the announcement as a weapon against Hispanics. (Predictable knowing what Donny thinks of all Hispanics)

First came the news that ICE will be swarming all over the bowl site looking for those criminals that for the most part do not exist.

Federal immigration officers plan to be present at the 2026 Super Bowl in Santa Clara, California, where Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny is slated to headline the halftime show, according to Corey Lewandowski, an adviser at the Department of Homeland Security. Speaking Wednesday on The Benny Show, Lewandowski warned, “There is nowhere that you can provide safe haven to people who are in this country illegally. Not the Super Bowl and nowhere else.” He emphasized that authorities will seek out and deport undocumented immigrants, asserting that this approach marks a shift from previous administrations.

The NFL confirmed over the weekend that Bad Bunny, a three-time Grammy winner, will lead the halftime performance next year. The singer responded in a statement, saying the honor is for his community, culture, and those who paved the way before him. However, Bad Bunny recently told i-D Magazine that concerns over ICE raids at events influenced his decision to not include US stops on his upcoming world tour.

“There was the issue of—like, f—ing ICE could be outside [my concert],” the rapper said in an interview published last month. “And it’s something that we were talking about and very concerned about.” Lewandowski, who previously managed Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, criticized the NFL for selecting Bad Bunny, claiming the league should choose entertainers who unite rather than divide. He described the selection as “shameful” and suggested it didn’t represent American values.

Then came the statement from that incompetent trollop, Noem, and her issuing a warning….

Kristi Noem, Donald Trump’s homeland security secretary, has said that only Americans should attend next year’s Super Bowl and warned that Ice agents “will be all over” the event.

Speaking to the rightwing podcaster Benny Johnson on Friday, Noem also said the NFL will “not be able to sleep at night” over its decision to choose Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican rapper who has criticized the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration policies, as its half-time performer.

Asked whether “there will be Ice enforcement at the Super Bowl”, Noem said: “There will be, because the Department of Homeland Security is responsible for keeping it safe, so I have the responsibility for making sure everybody goes to the Super Bowl, has the opportunity to enjoy it and to leave, and that’s what America is about.”

She added: “So yeah, we’ll be all over that place … We’re going to enforce the law. So I think people should not be coming to the Super Bowl unless they’re law-abiding Americans who love this country.”

This idiot you elected cannot let anything be a thing without his stupidity stamped on it….

Is it because it is featuring a Hispanic that he got his panties in a twist?  Or is it because it is in California he wants to try and intimidate Newsom.

Why would this douchbag want to fu*k up the biggest Sunday of the year?

Or is he just impossibly stupid?

Speaking of ICE….I see Apple has caved to Donny and relented and removed the tracking app they had for ICE activities….

Apple has taken down an app that uses crowdsourcing to flag sightings of US immigration agents, apparently after being pressured by US authorities. ICEBlock, a free iPhone-only app that lets users anonymously report and monitor activity by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, was no longer available on Apple’s App Store as of Friday, the AP reports. “We just received a message from Apple’s App Review that #ICEBlock has been removed from the App Store due to ‘objectionable content,'” developer Joshua Aaron said in a social media post. “The only thing we can imagine is this is due to pressure from the Trump Admin. We have responded and we’ll fight this!

  • The developer said last month that it had more than 1 million users. Even though it has been removed from the app marketplace, those who have already downloaded the app should still be able to use it.
  • “We created the App Store to be a safe and trusted place to discover apps,” Apple said in a statement. “Based on information we’ve received from law enforcement about the safety risks associated with ICEBlock, we have removed it and similar apps from the App Store.”
  • Downloads of apps like ICEblock have surged as the Trump administration steps up immigration enforcement with surprise raids. The technology has come under fire from authorities after agents were targeted. Officials said last month that the gunman who opened fire on an ICE facility in Dallas had searched for apps that tracked the presence of agents.

“I am incredibly disappointed by Apple’s actions today. Capitulating to an authoritarian regime is never the right move,” Aaron tells 404 Media. “ICEBlock is no different from crowd sourcing speed traps, which every notable mapping application, including Apple’s own Maps app, implements as part of its core services. This is protected speech under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.”

Are the idiots in DC using the Super Bowl as bait?  Now I ask how many illegal aliens can afford a Super Bowl ticket?

So they will be profiling at this sporting event.

My only response is….COWARDS!

Is This The New National Police?

The outlandish antics of ICE in the past few months has brought up a question….are they now the national police force?

These antics are all too familiar especially to anyone with half a brain and a small amount of knowledge of history….

The agency of mask-wearing officers who aren’t afraid to smash windows, detain lawmakers and pluck nonviolent undocumented immigrants off the street is about to become the best-funded federal police force.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has already been acting with impunity during President Donald Trump’s second term.

Video of agents on horseback and in armored personnel vehicles in MacArthur Park in Los Angeles is striking both for its demonstration of militarized power and for the total inability of the city’s Mayor Karen Bass to do anything about it.

“They need to leave and they need to leave right now,” she told reporters on the scene Monday.

But Trump administration officials feel no need to listen to local authorities in a city like Los Angeles.

“Better get used to us now, because this going to be normal very soon,” El Centro Border Patrol Sector Chief Gregory Bovino told Fox News on Monday, responding to Bass.

That new normal may come as a shock to Americans unused to a federal national police force operating inside the country.

The megabill Trump signed last week will elevate ICE in the American consciousness and on American streets.

ICE will have more funding in the coming years than any other federal law enforcement agency, according to Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, senior fellow at pro-immigrant American Immigration Council.

The new law allocates $75 billion for ICE through 2029 to order as many as 10,000 new agents and to build detention facilities for more than 100,000 additional people.

“It makes ICE a higher-funded law enforcement agency than the entire FBI, ATF, DEA, US Marshals Service and Bureau of Prisons combined,” Reichlin-Melnick explained, after averaging that $75 billion across the next four years, more than doubling ICE’s budget in each of those years.

This group gets more funding than all our federal law enforcement agencies….why?

This is getting ridiculous….does the US need yet another ‘police force’ to run rough sod over the public?

This smells a lot like another regime that had to have its own ‘private army’ (for lack of a better description).

Farm Raids Back On

Just last week the DHS was told to cut farmers some slack on raids looking for those dangerous workers….and as usual Donny has done what he does best….waffle!

A week after telling agents not to conduct immigration raids at farms, hotels, and restaurants, the Department of Homeland Security has done a U-turn. On Monday, the agency told staff at 30 field offices across the country that the guidance had been reversed, coming in line with President Trump’s calls for mass deportations of anyone in the country without legal status, per the Washington Post. The change reportedly came after DHS leadership was informed the White House did not support the policy. It was initially shared after Trump indicated he was sympathetic to concerns that mass deportations would upend the nation’s agriculture and hospitality industries, which rely on migrant workers.

Some farmers warn a drop in agriculture workers could trigger “pandemic-era food supply chain disruptions,” reports NPR. Last week, Trump vowed “changes are coming” to protect farmers from losing workers. “We can’t take farmers and take all their people and send them back because they don’t have maybe what they’re supposed to have, maybe not,” he said. But there are no actual policy changes in the works, per the Post. By Sunday, Trump had ordered ICE officials to deliver “the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History.” A day later, DHS assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin made clear “there will be no safe spaces for industries who harbor violent criminals or purposely try to undermine ICE’s efforts.”

What kind of demented mind cannot come up with a policy and stick with it?

I am beginning to think there is more going on than just a simple change of thought.

There have been memes flying all around that crazy source we call social media about the mental stability of Dear Leader…..there are times that I think there may be something there….I do not want to believe that there is mental instability but the more he changes his tiny mind the more it is not looking good.
