I always believed the day Israel did this it wasn't going to be any half measure. The Mullahs will have to go as well. To go in this deep they can't be in halfway.

I also want to just point out that the Secret Service doesn't have a hockey style line shift when the party in the White House changes. The same folks who pushed Padilla out were almost assuredly securing events for the Biden Administration. It's not like they are Trump loyalists or trained differently than they were under a Democratic regime.

I largely agree. Although I think it's more than likely he anticipated this type thing could well happen. If you've ever been around Secret Service personnel when they are on the job you should be able to sense they aren't playing around. How many kooks show up to random events claiming to be whoever or whatever? I follow politics more than most and I wouldn't have recognized him at a moment's notice. I think if you or I showed up to an event of a protected individual and interrupted and started walking forward we would be lucky to get away with no worse than being pushed to the ground. However, I think this largely helps Padilla with the people he wants it to help him with.

It would make for a better game IMO. They are going to need it given the PE money flowing into college sports and year to year free agency now. The loyalty that college teams have enjoyed will slowly erode if they don't find a better solution. To clarify, I think the main benefit is assessing the penalty. We have games where teams are in the bonus at 14 minutes or so. I think in the past there was a proposal to just reset the team fouls at the 10 minute mark but have the bonus start at 4 or 5 fouls.

Outstanding. Odds are he just was given the money to make the buys and drop them off. They need to lean on him or subpoena his bank records to determine sourcing and go after the people paying to create the violence. I actually believe Chris Cuomo was reporting last night that many organizations who fund/organize these type things are funded by organizations tied to China. I know that's a shocker.

I'm pretty much where you are. It's possible to criticize both. But violence, disrupting people's lives, damaging their property, and being in the streets aren't going to win people over. Some here argue the opposite, but the polling even on CNN shows it. How Trump is fortunate enough to have people hate him so bad they defend this element from a political standpoint I just don't know. It's really amazing. The pretense is essentially that ICE shouldn't be there and see what they caused. So the inference is that if enough people go to the street and commit crimes and violence, that you should not enforce the laws to avoid that.

Mayor Bass should read the readily available information. Here are a few of the illegal aliens that LA's sanctuary policy were providing sanctuary to: https://www.dhs.gov/news/2025/06/08/ice-captures-worst-worst-illegal-alien-criminals-los-angeles-including-murderers

Every time these things come up we want to sit in judgment of a time long gone. By today's values, most every man of that time was flawed. The truth is that at the time, people often viewed themselves as citizens of their states first. The entire populace would have had to have been "traitors", and if it happened today they would be. But that wasn't the case in that period of time. As someone who grew up in the heart of the old South these things rarely come up here. I can't tell you the last time I saw the old stars and bars flag. It doesn't bother me one way or the other what we do with the names. Now, I do agree when the Montgomery schools changed their major high schools names from Jeff Davis and Robert E Lee. Shockingly that's only been within the last few years. Those schools are almost 100% black and being reasonable I get why the folks there wanted the name change. No issue here at all. However, I don't think we should erase these people from the history books and things that were named for them. Robert E Lee didn't live in 2025, he was an old man by the 1860's. I don't think many people of the time would pass judgment by modern standards.

The Chief of Police said at the press conference last night they were overwhelmed and officers were under attack. He stated the guard hadn't been there enough yesterday to make an impact positively or negatively yet and depending on their capabilities he didn't know if they would be an asset or not. He made an effort to not step on the politicians' toes, but his assessment of the situation on the ground wasn't the same as they portrayed.

Get to watching this silver van they are following on News Nation. This guy is going wild

If by that you mean enforce Federal immigration law then I agree. It's a funny thing. When you stand down and don't confront the criminals and let them commit their crimes they don't have a reason to riot en masse, they can just go about breaking the law day to day. How dare we try to enforce the law.

Just watched the LAPD news conference. You could tell he was trying not to cross the politicians but he stated they were "overwhelmed and the situation is getting out of control" when he was asked whether or not the national guard was needed. He wouldn't come out and say yes, but admitted their resources were stressed and their reaction times were slow. They only have 10 arrests so far which shows you they are just taking cover. He also referenced his officers were under attack and weren't able to take the posture of making arrests at the present time.

Just saw severely damaged CA Highway Patrol vehicles taking cover under an overpass. Concrete all over the freeway where people above are dropping that and hammers on them. They need to advance on that group from both sides and take those people into custody.

It should never be allowed to happen. There’s a lot of us who live where this isn’t allowed. It puts in harms way, damages the property, and disrupts the lives of law abiding citizens. If I went out and took some buddies blocked our interstate up, I’d get ran over first. But if by some miracle the traffic stopped I’d have my skull cracked open by a state troopers nightstick within the first few moments. It’s so weird to me this is tolerated. If you don’t want escalation, go home. It’s not hard.

They must not have NewsNation on their TV service.

Now the freeway is blocked. Doesn't look like this is under control to me. Here are the great folks that these people are trying to protect https://www.dhs.gov/news/2025/06/08/ice-captures-worst-worst-illegal-alien-criminals-los-angeles-including-murderers

For all the pearl clutching you'd thing Moran has been jailed. This is exactly why the media has such distrust. Of course the Biden competency lies just brought it all to a head where they could no longer deny any bias existed.

Like when they were throwing items at federal vehicles and trying to impede them from leaving. Or perhaps it was when some of them threatened the NewsNation reporters on the ground.

Notice how those who want law and order restored are represented with a Nazi flag and scowling white people. The propaganda is getting stronger.

If so, were you this upset when the Obama Administration killed Anwar al-Awlaki? Personally I was not. Sometimes you have to get rid of bad people. I tip my hat to Obama for doing what should have been done and needed to be done. So let's just be consistent. Also, the guy beat his wife up. She wouldn't even deny it on the fluff interview. We all know he's a trashbag of a human. It's why you're losing the PR battle on this and Trump wants this issue. Yet you think the public understands what you're deeming the "real issues" better than Trump, the one who so many call an idiot yet is wealthy and won two elections. The majority don't want this guy here and frankly are fine whether he's in jail or some third world country.

The music is playing and the left marches off the political cliff backing a guy who at the most generous outcome is an illegal alien who beat up his wife. Yet you think Trump is the one with egg on his face.

Trump says a lot of things for effect that aren't literal. I supported Trump but I don't take everything he says literally so I don't feel lied to, if anyone does they need to quit taking politicians literally. Barack Obama told Americans if they liked their doctor they could keep him, I knew better than that as well. I admitted at the time, Trump could use his relationship with Bukele to return Garcia. That was obvious. It's also clear that if it weren't for that relationship, El Salvador would have no responsibility to return their citizen to the US. Both things can be, and were true at the same time. Now, more importantly what do you think caused Trump to bring him back yesterday? Was it that suddenly the weight of the court and pressure were too much for him just on that day? Or is it more likely he has been told of the evidence against Garcia and wants this to be in the news cycle to gain political advantage? I think given his track record it's pretty clear. You can say this issue is a loss for Trump if you want, but IMO this issue is a loser for Democrats. Trump is dictating the terms and the timing for when this is occurring, you should ask yourself if this is a loser, why is he doing it? Trump obviously believes it because every action he's taken is keeping this in the forefront of the news cycle. Even pundits for the left are warning this isn't good for them.

I agree. Trump could always get him back not because we had the authority, but because of Trump's relationship with Bukele. I never disputed that either. But politically keeping this story front and center is a huge winner for Trump. It's like he is the Pied Piper getting the Dems to march publicly behind the most unsympathetic figures.

My first thought is she's wanting to create a profile to have a life after gymnastics as some sort of commentator or political figure. She is married to an NFL player so she knows that the narrative that there is no proof biological males have advantages athletically over females is nonsense. She may be a little jealous of Gaines' platform and looks and wants to create one for herself on the left. It's going to work as far as getting followers and attention. She also happens to be from the only sport I can think of where being physically smaller is an advantage.

Look at it this way, if there's any way to squander the D's winning the house in the midterms it's stuff like this
