I WANT TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER…
Oh wait. That won’t work here…
She is.
Lucky they didn’t opt for permanent retirement for him instead.
Doesn’t matter — his supporters here won’t be cowed!
So they moved him to a nice cushy place? Interesting.
Btw, the article is misleading. Trump does have a deal for El Salvador to house Venezuelan gang members until some way to deport them can be figured out. They can do whatever the hell they want to their own people.
“Abrego Garcia’s precise whereabouts and condition remain unknown.” So why are they running this story then?
You know why.
I keep hearing ” Trump admin has been ordered to facilitate…”
What does that mean? Dudebro was asked if he would return that piece of shit and he replied “I am not going to smuggle criminals into the United States, what is wrong with you?”
As usual the leftists are stirring up a tempest in a teacup with lies and histrionics.
I hope he gets shanked, then we can stop talking about him.
“Gang members aren’t allowed at the penitentiary.”
So the US determined he’s a gang member, but El Salvador disagrees?
Yeah that seems … curious.
(His wife and his attorney deny those allegations.) Well she does NOW…gotta get that sweet TV/Book/Internet and charity monies.
All five people on board a plane that crashed in a remote part of Bolivia’s Amazon rainforest have been found alive. They were rescued after surviving for two days in a swamp surrounded by alligators.

What if you feed your sewer dwelling gators teenage turtles who recently had pizza? Can you use the sai to floss them?
No.
Eh, gators seem to eat turtles just fine:

Hmm, that one’s almost as big as the one that charged me at Upper Leitner Lake that night on the base formerly known as Fort Gordon.

But a sai isn’t floss, it’s more of a toothpick.
Many moons ago, I spent a few years in karate class practicing with various weapons. My favorite drill was a kumite where one guy has a bo, and the other has a bo, sai, and nunchaku. It was fun to both progressive disarm your opponent or do New York reloads John Wick style.

I got my first job because I wanted to earn money to fly to Okinawa to study with Sensei Zingg if I was chosen as the top student. I was not, but it motivated me to work hard. Ended up with a brown belt in Shindokan karate and ju-jitsu. Getting to black belt there was hard and maybe 5% made it that far.
There are no alligators in Bolivia.
American alligator has the strongest bite of any living animal. It isn’t even close. They need that bite because they primarily eat turtles.

Yup as Suth said no gators in Bolivia. I caiman to say the same thing.
To be fair they do have the black caiman. I saw one once…it made an impression.
Yeah that wouldn’t be fun to be surrounded by them either. In the middle of the fucking Bolivian jungle. Waiting and hoping for help that may eventually arrive or not. I was in Bolivia for a month or so in the late 90’s. Man that place was backward, especially coming from Chile, which is like a South American Spain.
“There is no rule of law here in El Salvador. There is no respect for the principle of legality,” she said.

People have the memory of goldfish. Before Dudebro the country’s citizenry was paralyzed with terror. The gangs turned the place into a near uninhabitable house of horrors.
What they have now is an extreme solution to an extreme problem.
Long overdue. Should be serving as a model to other Central American shitholes but of course I’m assuming the politicos in those places are so hopelessly corrupt and/or cowardly that cleaning them up isn’t really in their interest.
Quite frankly, what Dudebro has managed to accomplish is nothing short of a miracle.
Effective government is antithetical to progressivism, ironically enough.
I’m in a good mood today. I’ve decided to start dinner early. I’m having Steak A La Sean. The guy in front of me at the butcher got my first choice steak.
Oh, and I got my Permit today. From the time when I submitted the paperwork to issuance, it was just under two months, which beat the estimates of 6, 9, 12, 18, or 24 months that people have thrown around. From the dates on the paperwork, the Judge signed it on Monday April 28th. Had I seen the letter from the County Clerk when it arrived, I would have had a processing time of Seven Weeks.
7 weeks of justice delayed.
Congrats on finally getting the permit! Also, yummy looking steak, but it needs more Corelle.
I don’t have any corelle, and I didn’t think to check Goodwill.

Despite Amazon’s recent increase in profits, The People’s Union USA is making it loud and clear that it isn’t backing down. The group has organized yet another Amazon boycott, which is set to kick off on May 6 and end on May 12.
In a recent video posted on Instagram, The People’s Union USA founder John Schwarz said that this boycott “means more than ever before,” flagging that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos recently made an agreement with Trump not to list tariff costs next to item prices on Amazon.
“Jeff Bezos just said that he would start listing tariff costs next to the item prices on Amazon so customers could see what they’re really paying, and that’s okay,” said Schwarz. “That was a little transparency, a little truth, but the White House called it ‘hostile.’ The president himself made a call, and just like that, Bezos crumbled, he backed down, he bent the knee, and this is what we’re up against, a billionaire who doesn’t pay his fair share in taxes, a billionaire who manipulates the markets, silences sellers and flaunts his obscene wealth while Americans struggle to stay afloat.”
They’ll show Amazon a thing or two.
“Jeff Bezos just said that he would start listing tariff costs next to the item prices on Amazon so customers could see what they’re really paying, and that’s okay”
Jeff Bezos, in fact, never said that and Amazon was never going to do that.
The news that reported that was just…. Wrong.
I figured that Jeff Bezos isn’t stupid enough to think that a 25% tarriff equals a 25% price hike…
How do you know that, commie?
Because Bezos is still a billionaire, duh!
Because there are still coins in his Scrooge McDuck swimming pool?
President Dudebro or his successor is going to be the target of a color revolution when the Dems regain power.
They’re having mixed success with that in Europe, but there’s definitely an attempt to squash this populism trend.
My town has decided not to renew a contract for traffic cameras that read license plates due to privacy concerns.

Whose privacy, the citizenry? Hahahahahahahaha….
“[City council] voiced concerns about data security and potential immigration enforcement access. Flock camera data is accessible to more than 80 law enforcement agencies, some of which have committed to cooperating with U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE).”
Illegal immigrants are sacred, not just ordinary, run-of-the-mill tax cattle, and it is imperative that tens of thousands be brought to my town immediately. No one has explained why. As a delicious side note, this camera system was used to track down the perpetrators of a big jewelry heist, who turned out to be, er, members of a South American crime syndicate…
https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/artificial-intelligence-suspects-denver-jewel-heist-flock-safety/
That…is hilariously funny.
Yes it is. Better than my first thought…some city council critter caught on cam cruising the hood late at night.
We had a judge caught here like that. He was caught on camera 1. stopped in the middle of the street pissing. 2. Arguing and then shooting at an old black man that complained to him about public pissing and cruising for hookers 3. dodging bullets when the old black man had the temerity to return fire.
I guess we should have guessed that eventually “illegal immigrant” would make its way into the DEI hierarchy. So now disabled trans lesbian person of color is no longer the high card.

The Dems’ strategy for Presidential candidates has been first black (Obama), first woman (Hillary, Harris), first gay (Buttigieg coming soon). I look forward to the first undocumented candidate.
You’re catching on.
Now this song is stuck in my head:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fUspLVStPbk
So bizarre.
I remember Bill Clinton being elected in a landslide after proposing to build a wall on the southern border and to be tough on immigration.
There is real opportunity here as Trump is polling poorly on economics, but do Democrats not look at polls when it comes to illegal immigrants? Mind boggling stupidity when it comes to reading the electorate.
Which year was that? I seem to recall him getting elected because a spoiler candidate split the opposition vote.
I mean that’s been debunked a number of times but is almost always the popular assessment of the election.
Nevertheless, the point is: Democrats were more popular when they weren’t pro open borders.
I suspect Reagan was too, two years before sweeping 49 states.
I have heard one literally claiming that he is underwater on every issue, including immigration.
They are batshit insane delusional – perhaps a coping mechanism.
In Howtobeademocrat 101, day one they are told “Fuck the voters. We dont give a shit what they think. We have the greatest voter fraud scheme in history”
*not really a joke, it is a Biden quote that got memory holed
“Trump is polling poorly on economics”
His poll numbers on the economy are pretty bad. I’m beginning to think he may not get reelected.
Neither side represents the electorate. They represent the billionaire donor class. It’s why the GOP may talk tough on immigration, but is largely toothless.
They tell themselves behind closed doors that the rubes just don’t understand. our economy needs the bodies and birthrates are dropping and yadayada. Really, it’s about driving down wages and providing a cheap source of labor for the elite.
I really struggle to see how Ross Perot took more votes from Clinton. Polling is bullshit. The actual results of that election almost certainly mean Bush the Not-Quite-Lesser would have won.
RC Dean, remember when all the polls said Harris was polling basically even with Trump. Or, remember when they had HRC up by 25 points or sumsuch?
Don’t believe the polls. They may be right, they may be wrong, but they are most likely to have no bearing on what people are thinking.
Public polling is propaganda at this stage. It’s about convincing you that people who buck the preferred narrative are isolated minorities.
Some US cities are canceling cultural events over fears of ICE raids and deportations.
This. Is CNN.
It’s simultaneously not working and they’re afraid of it.
Like DOGE.
Maybe stop listening to Democrats and their fear-mongering?
Swiss laundry
Credit Suisse Services AG will pay nearly $511 million after pleading guilty in a criminal case to having conspired with wealthy American taxpayers to hide more than $4 billion in at least 475 offshore accounts, the Department of Justice said.
In addition to that plea, the UBS subsidiary also entered into a non-prosecution agreement with prosecutors in connection with U.S. accounts that were booked at Credit Suisse AG Singapore.
“Between 2014 and June 2023, Credit Suisse AG Singapore held undeclared accounts for U.S. persons, which Credit Suisse AG Singapore knew or should have known were U.S., with total assets valued at over $2 billion,” the DOJ said.
The criminal conspiracy to which Credit Suisse admitted guilt allowed “ultra-high-net-worth and high-net-worth individual clients” of the Swiss financial services corporation to evade their U.S. tax obligations from 2010 through 2021, according to the DOJ.
For shame.
Good song MS.

Are there really that many cars running around Denver with Mexican plates?
It’s not the plates, it’s the 12 people crammed into the back seat.
You can spot the pickup beds full of Mexicans on the cameras.
There are quite a few around here. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There are a lot of cars running around with no plates. Or expired temporary plates. Or stolen ones. Illegal immigrants buy cars and just don’t register them. When pulled over during traffic stops, cops in some jurisdictions just cut them loose. It turns out that some people are, in fact, above the law.
Spills in the region have had a devastating impact on indigenous communities and local wildlife.

The firm on Monday pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to aid and assist in the preparation of false income tax returns in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Virginia.

India launching attacks into Pakistan
Pahalgam Terror Attack LIVE Updates: Indian Army tweets ‘Justice is Served. Jai Hind’
The Indian Armed Forces launched ‘Operation Sindoor’ on Wednesday, executing targeted strikes against nine terrorist facilities across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), in response to the recent Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives.
An official communication from the defence minister’s office confirmed that the Indian Armed Forces had begun ‘OPERATION SINDOOR’, striking terrorist installations in Pakistan and PoJK that were identified as centres for orchestrating attacks against India.
The operation targeted nine specific locations with a measured, restricted strategy, deliberately avoiding Pakistani military facilities.
If they start WW3 I am going to be somewhat cross with them.

(Wannabe) Women, minorities hardest hit
The Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that the Trump administration may begin enforcing a ban on transgender troops serving in the military while the case continues working its way through lower courts.
The ruling granted the administration’s emergency request to lift a nationwide preliminary injunction blocking Trump’s executive order, so it did not lay out the justices’ reasoning and will remain in place only until the issue is decided in lower courts. The Court’s three liberal justices — Elena Kagan, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and Sonia Sotomayor — dissented but did not provide their reasoning.
No brainer here.
“did not provide their reasoning”
They couldn’t come up with legalese for “because of course we did”.
“We hate real women.”
I would think being trans in the military would have unintended consequences. Testosterone laden young men, trying to be more macho than their counterparts, etc. There is some in ranks harassment that just comes with competitive young men. Who knows what transwomen would face?
The purpose of the military is to engage and destroy the enemy. Recruitment may suffer if polite behavior is the goal.
Trannies are mental cases. They are an additional supply burden if they require regular hormone treatment. Either were once grounds for discharge and ban from service.
Throw in the fact that many of them get off on fooling men into believing they are women. That always ends up well.
They cannot provide what they do not have.
One of the things tha tis near universal with mental illness is narcissism.
You cannot have an effective military riddled with people that make EVERYTHING about them. That is the opposite of what an effective military is about.
Upside down
American consumers are on the cusp of tough choices because of President Donald Trump’s trade war.
Ships now pulling into US harbors from China are the first to be subject to the massive tariffs that America is imposing on most Chinese imports. That means, in a matter of weeks, consumers will face higher prices and shortages of certain items.
Imports from China have fallen dramatically since Trump imposed steep tariffs – particularly since last month, when the tit-for-tat trade war sent the tariff on most Chinese goods up to 145%.
“This week, we’re down about 35% compared to the same time last year, and these cargo ships coming in are the first ones to be attached to the tariffs that were levied against China and other locations last month,” Gene Seroka, executive director of the Port of Los Angeles, told CNN Tuesday. “That’s why the cargo volume is so light.”
Price increases do not cause shortages.
I have been assured that the Port Of Los Angeles is totally overwhelmed and the dock workers need more monies.
They must be relieved that they’re getting a break.
Which items? If it’s anything critical why the fuck are we importing it from China?
“We” aren’t importing anything.
US firms made deals with Chinese firms to purchase some products, because that was the best deals they could get for what they wanted.
Was there a cut off date for products shipped from China? As in, if XYZ company made an order the day before the tariffs went into effect, is it still subject to the tariff, now that the product has reached US ports?
I’m no logistics expert, but I would guess the relevant date would be either when the shipment clears customs or the date the paperwork is filed with customs.
I remember when the Valdez spill destroyed coastline that was going to take 5 million years to recover. A few years ago I saw a story about that…reporter went there and it is like nothing ever happened.
I seem to recall seeing stories saying “untreated” areas recovered faster than the places where people came and washed all the rocks with dish soap and killed off the oil-eating bacteria.
Watermelons dont give a flying fuck about the environment, whales, purple headed wooly peckers, water, air or anything remotely like that. They never have.

It’s hard to be sure, the state of journalisming being what it is, but it sounds like “out of port and in transit” is the cutoff.
Yeah, it’s a lot easier to confirm when a ship left a port than when an item came off an assembly line.
