ICE agents are ineffective
End the use of military confrontation. End the use of military style weapons. These are Americans!
The Department of Homeland Security has used confrontation and weapons in their excess role in the USA. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers are completely ineffective.
DHS has been found guilty of illegal orders and hostile actions by the courts. The protests by Americans are in defense of their rights, their USA Constitution, and their very lives. Every American has the right to domestic peace without harassment or injury.
Secretary Noem is incompetent in her job and has been since the beginning of her employment. She lies, propagandizes the immigration problem in the USA, arrested and deported legal immigrants, and has endangered the public. She is ineffective as a DHS Secretary to an important federal department that is vital to eliminate the threat of foreign terrorist cells. With the Middle East in disruption, a near border confrontation with a South American country and its leader in a USA prison chasing legal immigrants and creating disarray in communities endangers the public even further.
The Department of Homeland Security no longer serves the interest of citizens so much as acts as a political instrument of Trump. ICE must end it’s occupation of cities in the USA, downsize it’s number of agents, end the militarization of it’s agents, engage in effective peaceful training to carry out it’s mission, and answer the courts in it’s lawlessness.
DHS and its agents must leave Minnesota to the leadership of a freely elected Governor. The actions by ICE were never requests by the Governor and is an illegal endangerment to Minnesota citizens. ICE agents should stand down at the first indication it’s going mission has alarmed citizens and disrupted their lives.

So very refreshing to hear real diplomats.
I think the diplomatic mission has achieved a very important milestone with Senate Republican leadership. Senator McConnell still is respected on the country’s national defense. Senators Murkowski and Shaheen has a very good bill within the USA Senate to improve the relationship with Greenland.
I would encourage Greenland to continue and extend their diplomatic mission to include visits to the USA Congress.
I sincerely appreciate the diplomatic visit. It was necessary and important.

No guns.
Today at 34th and Park in Minneapolis, (click here) a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to and she's disabled. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt and pulled her out before arresting her.
The ICE agents are not trustworthy to assign guns of any kind to their riot control issues. These are innocent Americans protesting the wrongful death of Renee Good. They aren't armed, why is ICE?
Guns
Sports
There is a lot of money in sports, from amateur to student to professional. There can be considerable corruption, too.
We saw the corruption scream out loud with the NFL and the Boston Patriots. Then there was the issue of steroids. The all American pastime. What was the cultural slogan? “Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, and Chevrolet.” Then there is player violence, often domestic and even street violence. Don’t leave out the gambling on human beings either.
In all these decades and all the scandals the sports have never set a standard that defines their sport. The Olympics may have, but, American sports in general do not. If an athlete can make the cut they are recruited and they play.
There is a case before the Supreme Court concerning transgender women athletes. It is a very interesting case to me because it cuts through all the bias and discrimination, including childhood treatment. I have stated before children can express their understood gender and receive support successfully so they can grow up with an understanding of their identity. Just because the Supreme Court said the practice of obstructing such medical skills is legal does not make it the law of the land. It is called conversion therapy.
The really interesting aspect of this case is that the women identified as female as early as three years old and received appropriate intervention during their childhood and adolescence. They grew up within their understood identity and not wishing they were girls or women. They grew up without ambiguity. Mentally healthy and athletic. A parent’s prayers answered when they worried about such reality in their children. But, I guess that is just me in my hopes for families facing such challenges.
This case clearly illustrates the neglect of sports professionals to define the standards of their profession. The women in this case are women. Their physical stature, muscle strength, and talent are all definitive of a woman sports professional. So what’s the problem?
I remember reading about Ida. I forget her last name. She could pitch a baseball at 91 mph. She rivaled every man in the sport. The only reason she could not play professionally is because of her gender. She was female through and through, but, she could play. I think her talent came from the mentoring of her father who also played baseball.
But, she didn’t play professionally because at the time there was no professional league for women. I think she scared the guys.
Gender is an interesting concept. Sex is different from gender. With women the sex is determined at birth, but, gender identity extends from the girly girls to the tom boys. Does one have more right to exist than the other?
Sex is also an interesting science. DNA is very sticky stuff. It has been relatively easy to move from exploration to the development of miracle drugs. The best example of that is the treatment of melanoma of the Late President Jimmy Carter. One day he was dying and the next relieved of disease.
DNA is very sticky stuff because it is relatively simple. There are double digits in the number of base pairs that comprise DNA, not millions as the lay people may think. Under a microscope it can be manipulated. It can be combined with chemo drugs to target the very cells of cancer without causing wide scale suffering to beat the cancer and continue to thrive as a human being.
The nature of DNA is not molded by standard but by the combination of base pairs in the uterus of a female. There are genetic variations of every scale including the very familiar Trisomy 21.
As a society we are attracted to the struggle of genetically different human beings to have them do as well as us normal folks. Why? Because happiness matters. So why then do the transgender female athletes not receive the same empathy and rightful places as others genetically challenged?
These women as women. The failure is not theirs or their parents or family, it is the failure of the sport professionals that line the halls with their paychecks. They don’t care, not really. If the government allowed designer test tube babies to comprise sports there would be teams of the best clones.
The failure is that of the sports to define what comprises a female athlete and is not found with a well developed native clitoris.
There is definitely the understanding of men and women and their stature and bodies. A transgender in the USA exposed to rigid standards growing up will always be at a disadvantage. They will not experience growth and development as they should. They will never fit the mold. The standards need to be flexible enough to recognize the normal growth and development of the spectrum of gender. To limit sports to men and women in the understanding of the Olympic model, there has to be clear lines denoted as human male and human female.
The women involved in the Supreme Court case should be competing within their gender identity in their chosen sport.
Nixon didn’t open the door with soldiers.
China is a shining example of the success to change a country’s people fate.
Peace and prosperity has a cost.
Patience.
Trump and Putin use ideology without regard to the people they are supposed to serve. They use ideology for power. The power serves greed for wealth they would have never achieved otherwise.
I wake in the morning wondering if there is still a world.
Donald John Trump is a power hungry fool without a conscience. He threatens Iran with the power of the USA military pretending to love freedom and democracy while he oppresses and kills people within his own country.
The demonstrators in both the USA and Iran want the very same thing, freedom and democracy. Why has Trump turned on his own citizens? It isn’t the democracy and freedom he loves, it is the thrill of conflict he seeks. He is a very sick man. It is obvious.
The oppressed in the world that see Trump as a liberator don’t see his own oppressive treatment of American citizens. They are trying to adopt the power of the USA defense force as hope to their sad reality. They feed Trump’s mental illness as a tool to their goal.
Renee Good was targeted.
The propaganda campaign immediately following validates a strategy.
Renee Good was a great American that loved her country, community, and family. She was a pacifist that stood strong under the protection of the USA Constitution. She could never advocate violence. She could never harm anyone. She did not have the capacity to imagine harming anyone, yet alone a government agent. She steered away from any possibility of using her vehicle as a weapon. The agent was brainwashed into believing such an American was an enemy to the USA Constitution.
Renee Good is and always will be a hero.
Renee Good was us.

More of Trump’s witch hunt.
Demonizing good people seems to be Trump’s favorite pastime.
Trump’s designer DOJ is illegitimate.
(Click here)
There doesn’t seem to be interest by Trump for an investigation at all.
I should correct that. There doesn’t seem to be an interest by Trump regarding the truth of Ms. Good’s death. Activism is not a crime.
Ms. Good and her spouse were completely unarmed. Activism or not, there was a murder that day and the plan is to demonize the dead for MAGA propaganda.
Compromising powerful men was Epstein’s specialty.
Demanding the Clinton’s testify before Congress is a witch hunt until all their files are released.
Where are the rest of the files?
Joe is absolutely correct.
I would like to expand on this a little. From my point of view there is absolutely no reason for a cover up, yet one exists. Why?
I think Noem has an audience that desired to hear about how evil Ms. Good was and how she deserved to die, but, yet I ask why? Why would normal people expect to hear such things? Why the lies? What is the investment Noem is making in those lies? She clearly expects to have the lies live on. The angelic ICE officer(s) took down a demon from the sounds of it.
I think a cover-up to protect Trump and his hateful agenda is too simple an answer. I remember at the same time the Republican majority Congress is doing nothing. There she stands. Noem the woman they invested trust into to place our Homeland Security and its enormous budget. The Republicans have a real vested interest in good outcomes for the country. So, why?
The audience is the goal. The audience will believe the worst about any American that does not see the world as they do. They hate those different from them. The lies, the bold faced lies are for the audience. To that audience Noem’s words are sacred and very good news. The angelic ICE angels (agents) over came enormous adversity first by braving an entrance into hell (Minnesota), overcoming a wicked snow storm meant to stand in their way and defeat them, and the ultimate the death of the demon. In this case a 37 year old lesbian with an innocent child that needs to grow up better and differently.
The audience is the electorate the Republicans allow to be corrupted by those lies. If they believe all but The Chosen are liars, the Republicans are bulletproof.
The next layer to consider are the preachers and their vested interest in people with simple minds. I have an opinion about the southern Bible Belt. Just an opinion. Not hate. Hate is never intended.
There are a lot of denominations and out of the mainstream churches in The South. Ever wonder why. There is an organized Baptist convention but not every free spirited church is a member.
What happens with mainstream religion?
They pay dues, don’t they. Tithing. But, at the church level if the congregation keeps all their tithing for their own church, doesn’t pay a Pope or sponsor missions; the church elders have more money for what they alone can prioritize and pleases them. Does the average American realize the deprivation and poverty the Southern racists live in?
They alone are not the audience of Noem, one if Trump’s minions; but; there definitely is an audience. An audience corrupted by lies. It is that audience and the corrupted be it whomever that needs the truth. There are no demons. There are just Americans entitled to a life. There really is no one to hate. If anyone needs to hate, then hate the poverty, not the people.

Dual citizenship has been outlawed by the First Lady.
Therefore Trump cannot hold office in Venezuela or Cuba. He isn’t a citizen in either countries.
(Click here)
There needs to be a two thirds veto proof Congress.
Trump has to be contained. He will set the world on fire just for amusement.
If China is not happy.
There is a good chance every executive in the world, with a Chinese interest, will have a conversation with a Chinese official no different than Jack Ma.
Feckless or opportunistic corruption?
Trump gives “absolute security” as an incentive to investment. The many executives are in attendance because the Executive Branch of the White House summoned them. I think they should hear from a world on meltdown.
1. Trump intends to use the USA military to
any extent needed, including war, as a guarantee of security. I am fairly sure that is outside the legislated scope of the USA military. The USA military is a defense force, not a liberation force, or for hire to corporate interests.
2. There is a glut of petroleum products including shadow fleets of ships now under a Russian flag (click here) thanks to Trump’s threats, and actual confiscation of tankers and deaths of people in speed boats, and those floundering to survive. Any idea the liability these executives would bear if innocent people were killed as an affiliate to the USA military? Trump cannot guarantee the corporate liability of such affiliations in international and foreign sovereign waters.
The glut plus increased production of Venezuelan petroleum assets would cause a global collapse of petroleum prices. That is the very reason why Venezuela’s economy collapsed in the first place.
Maybe it is both, feckless and opportunistic corruption.
People know she was murdered.
(Click here)
Thank you. Renee is missed and her death is impacting everyone at every level of American society.
Our government killed an innocent civilian in cold blood to advance fear and oppression.
The United States of America was a country where every life mattered. Everyone contributed to the beautiful fabric that was the USA. Today that fabric is torn and we all recognize the truth.
