Trump established the creation of Homeland Security Task Forces Jan. 20 — his first day back in office — via executive order, "Protecting the American People from Invasion." The executive order directed Attorney General Pam Bondi and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem to establish such task forces in each state as part of the administration's efforts to thwart cartels and human trafficking networks operating on U.S. soil.
🚨 BREAKING: Cincinnati’s Police Chief has just been placed on LEAVE after she was accused of “anti-white bias” within the department
LONG overdue!
Chief Theetge infamously blamed the MEDIA for the viral attack on white tourists by blacks in July, adding to the evidence she’s… pic.twitter.com/mbixvvZaTa
…to the evidence she’s making decisions based on race.
Per a new lawsuit, the Chief used a “race based quota system” to decide promotions and hirings. Given the fact she’s now on leave, this sounds pretty credible.

She’s a moron and it’s a positive step to pay her to stay at home. The police chief in New Orleans and fire chief in LA seemed to be part of the same indoctrinated, low IQ cadre. There used to be none of these type of moronic leaders available to hire, now the DEI system is churning them out for bad mayors to find and promote.

I have contacted the Vera Project 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Seattle to inquire about them hosting an Antifa event where rules were posted instructing criminal, violent conduct of attendees. The organizers called for people to find targets inside the event and then follow them… https://t.co/uQK4D61kNYpic.twitter.com/WIwTDdpVTH
[Red State] Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has acted to replace the number-two general in the U.S. Army, little more than halfway through his expected tour. The replacement of Army Vice Chief of Staff James Mingus came as something of a shock, as he was named vice chief of staff in January 2024 and should have served for at least 3 years. His replacement is Lieutenant General Christopher LaNeves, who is serving as Pete Hegseth's senior military assistant. LaNeve is currently a three-star will vault over quite a few senior officers if confirmed by the Senate.
This is another case of a senior officer being suddenly removed from their position. Last week, it was USSOUTHCOM commander Admiral Alvin Holsey who was visited by the sky hook; see Did He Jump...Or Was He Pushed? US Top Commander for Latin America Abruptly Retires — RedState.
Up front, I don't know either LaNeve or Mingus. But I will lay out why I think the unforeseen removal of Mingus looks suspicious. On paper, he's a guy who should've been a shoo-in for great things given Pete Hegseth's fixation on the warrior ethos. Mingus started out as a National Guardsman. He has impeccable credentials, having served in troop command assignments at every level, with a focus on elite infantry units. He commanded the 82d Airborne Division's long-range surveillance company and the 75th Ranger Regiment's Special Troops Battalion. He seems out of favor with the Trump administration. He was passed over as commander of USCENTCOM because, it is rumored, that he was buds with General Mark Milley.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is backing a Navy admiral as his preferred choice for a key role commanding U.S. military operations in the Middle East, passing over an Army general who had been widely presumed to be the top contender amid an ongoing naval war in the region, according to defense officials and others familiar with the issue.
Vice Adm. Brad Cooper is Hegseth’s recommendation to head U.S. Central Command over Gen. James Mingus, the officials said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the Trump administration’s personnel considerations.
Several officials familiar with the issue said Mingus may have lost out on the Central Command job because of his association with retired Gen. Mark A. Milley, the influential former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff whom Trump and Hegseth have repeatedly cast as a political adversary.
Lieutenant General LaNeve's public record is less well documented than Mingus's. He commanded Eighth Army in Korea and the 82d Airborne Division. I assume he commanded in combat, but didn't find any specific mention of it.
Regardless, moving a four-star out of his job when he's halfway through it, after passing him over for another position, looks a lot like Mingus is being pushed into retirement. Sending Hegseth's right-hand military assistant into the position looks a lot like Hegseth wasn't convinced that Mingus was down with his program, and that he was replacing him with someone who supports what Hegseth is trying to do.

A quick glance at his class A's shows he's a master blaster, pathfinder/Ranger qualified with a CIB. Multiple tours in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Most importantly he's an ROTC graduate - not part of the West Point ringknockers club
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson wants to tax Social media platforms,
“Just like we tax other addictive vices that are bad for our health like nicotine and tobacco, it is far past time to tax social media companies the same way”

NOTE: TO ALL POLITICIANS.
How about letting a person keep and actually own something freely?
We know if it's taxed per use, or on a regular basis, then we are just paying rent to the Government and the rent keeps going up. WHY? Because politicians cannot control their spending of OUR $$$$$.
BUT WHAT IF
Taxpayers were to demand a US Constitutional Amendment clearly stating a MAXIMUM OVERALL tax percentage limit for all citizens? Currently, we are working about 30% to 60% of our lives to feed all the Politicians and various Government's wasteful spending.
EXAMPLE GIVEN
It is estimated the current DEMOCRAT WALK OUT over their demand for over $1.2 Trillion in misc, unneeded political BS projects, that would help back-fill certain pockets. That $1.2T budget waste is something like $8,300.00extra per taxpayer. Do the math, how hours would you have to work to TAKE HOME $8,300.00?
Plus, they have already spent us $38+ Trillion into national debt. While also giving $$$ BILLIONS $$$ to other countries. A debt that equals over $327,000.00 per taxpayer in the national debt
How long would you have to live, to repay that $327,000.00 out of what is left after they have already taxed you that 30% to 60%?

“Portland's overall commercial office occupancy rate is about 7.3% vacancy as of late 2025, but this is high for the region. The metro area's vacancy rate is 26.6%, with a much higher rate of 34.6% in the downtown core.”
7.3% seemed surprising good to me, but 34.6% seems consistent with the video footage that you see. I would think decent policy could turn that around fast as businesses would love to be there. I don’t think it is fixable unless the current population was exchanged for reasonable and intelligent folks.

[FoxBusinessNews] Government shutdown threatens food stamps for 42 million Americans: 'Insufficient funds'. USDA warns SNAP benefits for November could be delayed if Congress doesn't approve new spending bill
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) sent a letter on Oct. 10 to all regional Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) directors and state agency directors warning that funds for SNAP, also known as food stamps, will run out after October if lawmakers don't approve a new spending bill.
"If the current lapse in appropriations continues, there will be insufficient funds to pay full November SNAP benefits for approximately 42 million individuals across the Nation," the letter reads.
The USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) has told all states to hold off on sending out November benefit files to electronic benefit transfer (EBT) vendors until further notice.
The memo signed by Ronald Ward, the agency’s acting associate administrator, appears to be a precaution meant to buy time until the government can come to an agreement during the shutdown.
"We appreciate the partnership with States that administer this critical nutrition assistance program," Ward wrote. "We will continue to keep you apprised with information as we exercise due diligence in our oversight of the program."

Came across an unhinged finger wagger the other day:
Churches which accept tithes better have a food pantry by the end of the month or they should lose their tax-free status.
Like I said the other day, they sure like to poke fun at the 'invisible sky friend' until it is time for them to become holier than thou.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
