Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Calls for the Arrest of ICE Officers

As a native Chicagoan, I must confess that I have little patience for Mayor Brandon Johnson, a politician who has been a disaster for the city. One of the most unpopular mayors in the city’s history, Johnson has been using the increased ICE operations to try to ride a wave of rage back into popularity. His language has become more and more inflammatory in calling for citizens to “resist” and “fight” federal law enforcement. Now, he is claiming the authority to not only mandate “ICE-free zones” in the city but to arrest federal officers.

Ironically, Johnson has declared that President Donald Trump wants a “rematch of the Civil War.” However, it is Johnson who is pursuing antebellum policies. It was the South that claimed independence from the Union and fought to expel federal troops.

Johnson signed a ridiculous executive order creating “ICE-Free Zones” to ban federal agents from using city-owned properties and property of unwilling private owners as staging areas for immigration enforcement.

The federal government has its own jurisdictional authority and can enter city and private property in pursuit of lawful operations. In terms of “staging” operations, the Constitution, not Brandon Johnson, protects citizens from having their property seized or used for the quartering of troops.

Most importantly, the City of Chicago cannot arrest federal officers who are conducting federal operations. This point was correctly noted earlier by Chicago Police Supt. Larry Snelling, who said that CPD officers will not arrest federal law enforcement, “because someone deems what they are doing is illegal.”

Nevertheless, Johnson was back to his signature chest-pounding bravado: “We’re going to see people in court. As far as other authority that allows for us to be able to enforce this ordinance, we’re exploring.”

In the meantime, Gov. J.B. Pritzker has been using equally inflammatory language about a few hundred National Guardsmen “occupying” the city and, most recently, told Rachel Maddow that the National Guard would intimidate voters at polling places and it might even seize voting boxes or ballots to steal the upcoming election.

Both leaders are attempting to marshal the mob for political purposes. At a time of rising political violence, including the recent sniper attack on an ICE facility and the Charlie Kirk assassination, Pritzker and Johnson are fueling the rage.

The federal government has the right to enforce these laws to deport individuals. Congress passed these laws and, if these politicians oppose them, they can seek to rescind deportation laws in the democratic system.

Johnson has continued to double down on his reckless rhetoric, declaring that

“The Trump administration must end the war on Chicago. The Trump administration must end this war against Americans. The Trump administration must end its attempt to dismantle our democracy.”

Threatening the arrest of federal officers enforcing federal law is not defending the rule of law or democracy. Indeed, a similar claim was made by Southern politicians not only before the Civil War but during the Civil Rights era. It was governors like George Wallace who insisted that he could stop federal officials and the National Guard from enforcing federal law.

Likewise, it was George Wallace who objected to the “unwelcomed, unwanted, unwarranted, and force-induced intrusion” in his state by federal law enforcement.

Before Johnson attempts to arrest federal officials, he might want to take another look at the Constitution and review some history on the subject. Wallace also tried to ride the wave of rage to power after “standing at the schoolhouse door in person, if necessary.” It did not work. The federal government prevailed, and Wallace was left as a tragic relic of history.

  1. Everything I predicted about the Comey fiasco is coming to pass.
    Comey’s lawyer says he will be filing multiple motions to dismiss, starting October 20.

    He will challenge Halligan’s illegal appointment, which is a slam dunk. She was improperly appointed as an “interim” US Attorney after Erik Seibert served as an “interim” appointment. The AG is forbidden from making a second interim appointment.

    He will also challenge the indictment as vindictive prosecution. The evidence for vindictive prosecution is overwhelming. We already know that there was a memo from career prosecutors in EDVA that there is no probable cause. We already know that Erik Siebert, EDVA US Attorney, refused to file charges, and was fired. Trump explicitly said that he was fired because he refused to file charges against Comey. We know that Trump has been explicitly, and publicly, demanding that Comey be indicted. All this is a slam dunk case of vindictive prosecution that any first year law student could successfully argue.

    He will also move for dismissal based on abuse of grand jury procedure and outrageous government conduct.

    At today’s hearing Comey’s counsel told the judge that the government has not been forthcoming with information that they are required to disclose. For example the government has still not identified the two people who are referred to in the indictment by pseudonyms. The judge questioned the government attorneys about this, but they said that even they still do not know who those people are. Apparently the DOJ has had to bring in two very young and inexperienced AUSA’s from North Carolina at the last minute, because no one else is willing to argue the case. They know that Halligan is totally incompetent and unable to handle any court proceedings.
    “We’re just getting our hands around the discovery, as well. … There is a large amount of discovery,” the AUSA from NC said, including “a significant amount of classified information.”
    The judge was clearly not amused.
    The judge responded, “I’m a little skeptical of that. This does not appear to me to be an overly complicated case.”

    The judge wanted to set trial for December, but the government objected. He reluctantly set a date in January.
    As I noted previously, the EDVA is renowned as a Rocket Docket.
    This will move fast and go absolutely nowhere.

    1. Isn’t this the exact same lawyer who claimed his previous client, The First Felon Crackhead Son, was being prosecuted unfairly and hadn’t done anything wrong? The one who demanded that prosecutors give The Crackhead Kid a never seen before “Get Out Of Jail For Free For Every Felony You’ve Committed” special Biden Deal?

      Few expect the Democrat Different Double Standards justice system to convict their most famous perjurer and figurehead behind the felonious Russia Dossier, Comey.

      They take pride in never jailing a Democrat government felon, whether Comey, Biden, Clinton, Brennon, et al.

      You should be proud as well at “predicting” that they never convict any of the Clinton/Obama/Biden felons.

      Do Tell?
      Yes Sir You Called It. – Ok

      ARE YOU HAPPY WITH THAT?

      1. Very happy !!!

        I would add that the judge wanted to set a trial date of mid-December.
        The government objected, asking for July 2026.
        The judge gave them Jan 5.
        He gave them an extra 3 weeks.

        This case is essentially over.

        HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!!!

    3. “Everything I predicted”
      When has ANYTHING you predicted come to pass ?

      “Comey’s lawyer says he will be filing multiple motions to dismiss, starting October 20.”
      Of course he will – that is his job.

      “He will challenge Halligan’s illegal appointment, which is a slam dunk. She was improperly appointed as an “interim” US Attorney after Erik Seibert served as an “interim” appointment. The AG is forbidden from making a second interim appointment.”
      Then you can cite LAW that says that. Regardless it DOES NOT MATTER.
      Halligan did not indict Comey – a Grand Jury did. Halligan is unlikely to prosecute Comey.

      One of the reasons that you MUST be wrong about your “interim” apointment claim is YOUR pretend law would leave the position VACANT anytime an interim AUSA was removed, fired or resigned, until congress confirmed a replacement.

      Regardless, Comey can challenge Halligan – maybe, I am not sure he has standing. But even if he is successful – that does NOT dismiss the case, It is just on hold until Halligan is replaced.

      “He will also challenge the indictment as vindictive prosecution. ”
      Which will go nowhere.
      Comey undeniably perjured himself in 2017.

      If you want to get a case dismissed for so called “vindictive prosecution” – you have to make a credible case that you are ACTUALLY innocent.

      I can assure you that nearly every single prosecutor in the US is “vindictive” with regard to criminal defendants.

      “We already know that there was a memo from career prosecutors in EDVA that there is no probable cause.”
      Not true and not relevant – you do not seem to grasp that the entire purpose of a Grand Jury is to determine if there is probable cause. The Grand Jury did that – their decision is NOT reveiwable. The opinion of some carreer prosecutors does NOT trump that of the GJ.

      Probable cause is established by the indictment.

      “We already know that Erik Siebert, EDVA US Attorney, refused to file charges, and was fired. ”
      Yup.
      “Trump explicitly said that he was fired because he refused to file charges against Comey.”
      So ?
      Again Thomas Jefferson demanded his AG prosecute political rival Aaron Burr – and Burr was prosecuted.

      “We know that Trump has been explicitly, and publicly, demanding that Comey be indicted.”
      Even if true – it is irrelevant.

      The ONLY question for the judge is whether there is probable cause to prosecute – and that is PRECISELY why we have grand juries. That question is outside the hands of the Judge.

      “All this is a slam dunk case of vindictive prosecution that any first year law student could successfully argue.”
      So your so called first year law student is going to argue – Yes, I perjured myself, but the president hates me and that is the only reason I am being prosecuted ?

      The problem with YOUR lawfare against Trump – is YOU DID NOT HAVE A CASE.

      Trump went after Biden in Ukraine – and you idiots impeached him for that – despite far more than enough evidence to support Trump’s request that Ukraine investigate. A decade ago there was enough evidence to convict the Bidens of FARA violations and bribery and corruption – it gets worse every day. It is highly unlikely that Joe Biden will be prosecuted – he is not competent to stand trial. But it is Beyond any doubt that he was Guilty as sin.
      That Trump’s efforts to go after him were legitimate.

      The same is true of Comey, Cook, and James, and we can expect the prosecution of others.

      Trump may “hate them” and they certainly hate him – but Trump’s hatred for them is NOT a defense.

      Actual innocence is. The only issue with Comey is statute of limitations – and it is pretty solid that Comey’s 2020 testimony tolled the SOL. But you can argue that in court – THAT will be the core to this case.

      I can not tell what the court will do – but I can tell you – that SOL claims are near universally losers in myriads of cases today. The courts ALWAYS find that something occured that extented the SOL.

      But maybe Comey will get a special dispensation.

      Does not matter – this is a lose, lose case for the left. Either Comey is successfully prosecuted – or the left once again proves they are LAWLESS and will not hold their own accountable for more egregous acts than they use to target others.

      “He will also move for dismissal based on abuse of grand jury procedure and outrageous government conduct.”
      He can argue whatever he wants – there is no such valid legal claim.

      Grand Juries are free to indict or not. The standard that Grand Jurors are required to use is “probable cause” – like petite juries – a grand juries decisions are NOT reviewable.

      The question of probably case is dead – a GJ decided there was.

      As would most americans – Comey perjured himself – that is beyond a doubt.

      “At today’s hearing Comey’s counsel told the judge that the government has not been forthcoming with information that they are required to disclose. For example the government has still not identified the two people who are referred to in the indictment by pseudonyms.”
      If True – then Comey will get more time to prepare and the judge will order the DOJ to provide the requested information.

      “The judge questioned the government attorneys about this, but they said that even they still do not know who those people are. ”
      That is “fake news” – The grand jury indictment used REAL NAMES. Names like “Person 1” are used in what is made public, it is no secret to the defense, the prosecution or the court who these people are.

      “Apparently the DOJ has had to bring in two very young and inexperienced AUSA’s from North Carolina at the last minute, because no one else is willing to argue the case. They know that Halligan is totally incompetent and unable to handle any court proceedings.”
      In your opinion – So far Trump’s lawyers, for the past 8 years have Outlawyered those of you on the left – despite MASIVE lawfare against him.

      One of the lawyers you called a Dolt is now Solicitor General of the United States – where he has one of the best supreme court track records of any solicitor general ever.

      As is typical on the left you think making a accusation – no matter how thin, creates truth.

      How embarrassing it will be for you to AGAIN lose to “trumps incompetent lawyers”.

      Look – we all know that the judge is friendly to Comey. And we know Comey will get a very favorable jury.
      But under similar circumstnaces – Comey was still indicted.

      It is likely this case will take a long long long time. There will be bad decisions by the judge, appeals – possibly all the way to SCOTUS, and then back down to the judge who will then have to fix his error and move on.

      “The judge wanted to set trial for December, but the government objected. He reluctantly set a date in January.
      As I noted previously, the EDVA is renowned as a Rocket Docket.
      This will move fast and go absolutely nowhere.”
      ROFL

      1. John Say the Stupid

        As usual you are completely wrong in your assertions.

        Lindsey Halligan was not validly appointed. The AG previously made an interim appointment of Erik Seibert. Interim appointments are only valid for 120 days after which the appointee must be confirmed by the Senate or the appointment can be extended by order of the judges of the District Court. This is what happened to Erik Seibert when his appointment expired in May. If the interim US Attorney is dismissed, the law does not allow a second interim appointment. The reasons for this are obvious. If the AG was empowered to serially appoint “Interim” US Attorneys for 120 day appointments then this would completely subvert the Senate confirmation process.

        If the Interim US Attorney is dismissed then there are 2 options.
        The president may appoint an “Acting” US Attorney, but that person must have previously been confirmed by the Senate for another position.
        Or the District Court judges are empowered to appoint someone to the position. This is what happened when Alina Habba’s appointment expired. The judges appointed Desiree Grace to the position because Trump failed make a valid Acting US Attorney appointment.
        https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/28/546

        Halligan is not validly appointed. She has not been appointed by the District Court Judges, and has never been confirmed by the Senate for any other position.

        John Say makes the absurd assertion that only Grand Juries can make indictments, not the US Attorney.
        He may want to consult the DOJ Criminal Resource Manual which states the following:
        Fed. R. Crim. P. 7(c), provides that the indictment and information “shall be signed by the attorney for the government.” If the attorney for the government refuses to sign, which is within his or her discretion, there is no indictment.
        https://www.justice.gov/archives/jm/criminal-resource-manual-217-subscription

        Halligan is not validly appointed. She is not a government attorney. The indictment does not bear the signature of a government attorney. There is no valid indictment.

        The rest of John Say’s rambling incoherent comment is nonsensical gibberish.

  2. More ICE and less Nice is required, indeed it is only due to the 2021-24 Hyper-Immigration, all-hands on deck, moonshot push by Domestic-Foreign interests and profiteers. Try as he might, Turley can’t divorce the immediate Free Speech and Rage Rhetoric of Democrat Mayors, Governors, and others away from their basic, organic nature for overt, confrontational, insult and injury-based Leftist Activism, pushing of “Pain-induced Policies”, Double Standards in regard to freedom and authoritarianism, wiping their ass on the Constitution and framers one moment then holding it up in high regard the next as it best suits their immediate needs. The currently captured, Cultish Dem Party decries their political opponents as enemies. All their ideology must be purified and homogenized ever more “Leftward” for the ultimate victory over Patriarchy, gender norms, Western religious beliefs, archaic notions of Divinely-dispensed inherent rights of individuals being superior to human Masters or higher than a “Greater Good”. Individuals and institutions must be socially conformed into continual compliance with changing Revolutionary goals and aims that ebb and flow but rise ever higher to the lofty, progressive, Manifest-Destiny-like aims of Liberation, ultra-modernization, and a new human global order. A throwback Fascist Rightwing Dictatorship with MAGA masses exuding Trump-worship is fodder for their supporters and their greater cause. Whether real or imaginary, it matters not. This boogeyman is the fuel to their engine, chestfeeding person’s milk, and without it they subside into irrelevance except in small, inflamed pockets of pus on the global landscape. May they remain ever shrill, boisterous, and enraged, even as they are punishingly and forcefully made irrelevant and unempowered at scale.

    1. . . . the 2021-24 Hyper-Immigration, all-hands on deck, moonshot push by Domestic-Foreign interests and profiteers.

      As I mentioned below, my theory is that the D politicians are on the take from those very profiteers. Money is the mother’s milk of politics. Why else would they be in favor of policies that they know increase child sex trafficking among other things. When the movie Sound of Freedom came out, their mask slipped, as they (and their cohorts in the left-wing entertainment bubble) went out of their way to slam a great film that was clearly opposed to child sex trafficking, and they don’t give a sh!t if American young women are raped and murdered as a side-effect of the open borders. That’s how depraved these people have become: they actually want more child sex trafficking, and when Trump moves to oppose that practice, they go hog-wild to defend it. But what do you expect from a party that refuses to honor or even acknowledge a 13-year-old cancer survivor.

  3. Time for a good laugh.

      1. Earlier someone responded to a comment about parallels with the 1960s, saying, move into the modern era please. But they always go back to the 1930s. Apparently that is all they know. They never mention the 100 million killed by Communists. Their Marxist school teachers have never bothered to mention that.

        1. @oldman

          Too true, the ‘radical chic’ the Professor has described was in full force back then. And it had very obvious consequences. But that matters little to people that have not learned 1+1=2, let alone been taught civics or history. And some of those people are not kids.

        2. We have a Republican President that is pursuing a policy of direct government intervention into the US economy. Taking equity in listed companies. Tariffs to pick favorites (like Pfizer) based on which flatter him.

          President Trump is a statist.

          1. Do I think Trump is perfect ? Nope.

            Do I think some of the things he is doing are wrong – statist even ? Yup.

            But the Choice was between Trump and Harris – not Rand Paul.

            On NET Trump is pretty good. Far from perfect, but still far from the disasters of the other 3 presidents in the 21st century.

            1. “But the Choice was between Trump and Harris – not Rand Paul.

              On NET Trump is pretty good. Far from perfect, but still far from the disasters of the other 3 presidents in the 21st century.”

              Agree. But imo we are coming up on what is known in sports as “crunch time”, when critical results *must* be produced, and which will cement Trump’s record as POTUS, for good or for ill.

            2. “Trump is perfect ? Nope. ”
              As noted in my previously reply, I largely agree with your assessment of Trump. But as an example of some of the rhetoric without follow through that I think weakens his record, both Trump and members of his administration asserted that if the Democrats in Congress caused a Fedgov shutdown, they would summarily terminate a large number of Federal employees who perform functions that they regard as unnecessary or counterproductive to their vision of what the government should do and how it should operate. I think a large segment of Trump’s base agreed with that, and would applaud it if and when it happened. So, we are now 1-1/2 weeks into that Democrat-instigated shutdown, and, so far as I can determine, not one single Federal employee has been terminated. That is nonsense of a kind that (again imo) cannot go on indefinitely without losing critical popular support.

  6. To me, it just sounds like Chicago mayor is merely using Trump’s playbook. He passes a blatantly unconstitutional executive order merely for political theater and riling up his base.

    I agree that this is unfortunate, but this can of worms has been normalized by Washington over the past decade.

    1. To me, that just sounds like attempting a sophomoric moral equivalency that doesn’t exist. But then, in the Democrat Borg, you might expect that the Chicago mayor’s ordinance will survive judicial challenges like Trump using the National Guard to defend federal property and employees in the blood soaked streets of Chicago will.

      1. You entirely missed the point.

        First, I noted that this has been an extension of the President’s bully pulpit for at least a decade. Biden did the same thing.

        Second, the purpose of these executive orders is NOT to pass constitutional muster; rather, it is political theater to rile up the base.

        Finally, you reference Trump’s executive order to use the National Guard to defend federal property/employees in Chicago. You claim it “survived” a judicial challenge, but this is false. A federal judge gave Trump until 11:59pm tonight to respond to the lawsuit and set oral argument for Thursday. So, unless you are from the future, you are wrong.

        Nice try, though?

        Again, this is merely political theater. Politics on both sides of the aisle have normalized the use of executive orders that are blatantly unconstitutional simply for political gain. Nothing new here.

        1. Nice try indeed! Nobody missed your “point”, which was nothing but a lame Democrat attempt to build a moral equivalency – OMG, Trump is as bad as Biden! We didn’t even need you to provide the tell of writing this has been going on for a decade. CAN’T MENTION OBAMA’S TWO TERMS, nosirree!

          Nor did I post that Trump’s actions have successfully overwhelmed failed judicial insurrection as you lied I did. I said they “WILL” (that’s what we call a quotation to help you realize your error), once that judge’s orders have to survive appeal outside of her courtroom.

          But, I’m sure that’s just yet another honest mistake on your part. Please don’t feel any need to apologize for yet another lie.

          The Democrat Clown Car political theater got worn out long before you tried to see if you could stage one more performance.

          More room for you in the Democrat Clown Car now that The Three Democrat Stooges have moved their vaudeville act elsewhere.

        2. “the purpose of these executive orders is NOT to pass constitutional muster; rather, it is political theater to rile up the base.”
          Or both. The Birth Right citizenship EO is unlikely to pass muster – though it did survive its FIRST Supreme court challenge. It is still red meat for the base.

          But most of his EOs are intended to BOTH accomplish what they direct – constitutionally, and to secure the approval of the american people.

          As rassmusen has noted – Trump’s approval has been INCREDIBLY stable – changing very little since the election. That is unusual – most presidents trend down with occasional recoveries.

          “Finally, you reference Trump’s executive order to use the National Guard to defend federal property/employees in Chicago. You claim it “survived” a judicial challenge, but this is false. A federal judge gave Trump until 11:59pm tonight to respond to the lawsuit and set oral argument for Thursday. So, unless you are from the future, you are wrong.”

          I have no idea what this judge will decide. But the odds of the EO being tanked by SCOTUS are ZERO.

          You can play all the games you wish – even Turley seems to grasp that Presidents have done this MANY TIMES before. Challenges to the use of the NG to protect federal buildings or Federal law enforcement are guaranteed to lose. Even the SLIGHLTY weaker use of the NG to ACTUALLY enforce Federal law – as opposed to merely protecting those enforcing the law – would pass constitutional muster.
          And the even more extreme step of using the active duty military stands an execellent chance of being upheld by SCOTUS.

          We will all watch the dance as Democrats engage in this lose-lose lawfare – but the outcome is not in question.

          “Again, this is merely political theater. ”

          Absolutely, it is also keeping campaign promises. It is also following the law and constitution.
          Many things can be true at once.

          But it is truly excellent political theater.

          “Politics on both sides of the aisle have normalized the use of executive orders that are blatantly unconstitutional simply for political gain. Nothing new here.”
          Again I expect Trump to lose on the Birth Right citizenship EO – aside from the 14th amendment problems, even if you accept the argument that the 14th amendment is not near absolute birth right citizenship – the power to define the conditions for citizenship rest with congress not the president.

          But aside from that – the rest of the EO’s are both constitutional AND winning political theater.

  7. Follow the Constitution? I bet he hasn’t read it. Leftists are an existential threat to the country.

  8. This is not a good look for the DNC
    ___________________________
    Harvard Law School Professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz said he will campaign for Republicans in the 2026 midterm elections because he’s “totally frightened” if Democrats gain control.

    Dershowitz told Newsmax’s “The Record with Greta Van Susteren” on Tuesday that Democrats have abandoned core constitutional principles,

    1. Dershowitz supporting Republicans (especially for Dershowitz, Trump not being a name on the ballot) is a positive for the GOP.

      I am curious as to what the GOP thinks of Dershowitz as a supporter, when he is consistent in arguing that the Second Amendment (what many Republicans consider a core constitutional principle) is a disaster in today’s America and should be repealed as quickly as possible.

      Maybe the GOP will ensure they keep that side of Dershowitz’s constitutional principles hidden from view.

      Or perhaps the opposite: use him to reassure other disaffected Democrats that you can hate the existence of the Second Amendment, and still vote Republican anyways due to other issues.

  9. Democrat Marxists and GeorgeX (but like Mark Twain, I repeat myself):

    “Trump using National Guard to specifically protect federal property and federal employees is actually those troops hunting down and arresting our Guest Democrat Voters and violates the Posse Comitatus Act”

    Also those Democrat Marxists:

    “Our allowing criminal Illegal Alien Guest Democrat Voters to illegally enter our country and then obstructing federal law enforcement officers who are arresting and deporting them does NOT violate the Immigration And Nationality Act”.

    (For GeorgeX, famed Internet lawyer: 8 U.S. Code Chapter 12 – IMMIGRATION AND NATIONALITY)

    It’s all The Big Three D, necessary to controlling the language:

    DEMOCRAT DIFFERENT DOUBLE standards.

  10. Turley– “Before Johnson attempts to arrest federal officials, he might want to take another look at the Constitution and review some history on the subject.”
    +++

    That’s a thought, but I suspect he may not be quite literate.

    I suppose he could actually ‘look’ at the Constitution but reading it may be outside his limited set of skills.

    1. “Walla Walla Bing Bang” !!

      (a repeated phrase and title in a 1950s hit, way before you and I would have heard or known of it!)

  13. A Portland police officer threatens an ICE agent with arrest if he attempts to drive through protesters.

    https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPiJL83DCcu/

    Kristi Noem is intent on provoking protesters and staging violent confrontations to justify Trump’s need to call up the national guard.

    Trump thought Portland Oregon was a war zone because he saw a news segment about the 2022 Portland riots and thought it was happening in real time. Our derpy President can’t distinguish what he sees on TV and reality. That is why a Trump-appointed judge blocked his Troop deployment. He has no authority to deploy military troops to Oregon because he saw some Fox News propaganda from 2022. Wow.

    We have CBP shooting a woman because they claim she attacked them. Turns out they attacked her. CBP lied about her brandishing a weapon and ramming a CBP vehicle. It seems DHS is on a full-blown lying spree and staged raids for the press to show Trump how bad things are when in reality they are not as bad as he claims things are. Trump has already shown he thinks old TV footage is reality happening on the ground. Wow.

        1. No, georgie clown. Typical evasive response.
          LIE: “Kristi Noem is intent on provoking protesters and staging violent confrontations to justify Trump’s need to call up the national guard.”
          LIE: “He has no authority to deploy military troops to Oregon because he saw some Fox News propaganda from 2022. ”
          LIE: “CBP lied about her brandishing a weapon and ramming a CBP vehicle.”
          want me to go on to your other comments today?

        2. on a video with little back ground. (if) you cared to notice. All of these protestors are in front of the car,,,
          Where should he go.

          1. Dustoff if you took the time to listen to the officer telling the ICE agent that she can exit through another route right behind her. There is absolutely no reason for the ICE agent to drive through the crowd when she has a perfectly open street available that is not blocked. That is why the police officer is telling the ICE agent he will arrest him/her if he/she tries to drive through the crowd. The ICE agent wants to provoke the crowd to justify calling for reinforcements and incite a confrontation. The police officer knows this is the intent and that is why he’s threatening to arrest the agent if he/she proceeds to drive through.

            There is an open road the agent can take free of obstruction and avoid a confrontation.

            1. the second the ICE vehicle changes direction this mob will run to get in front. The cop is a moron.

            2. Why should a federal officer need to “avoid a confrontation”

              Your entire premise is flawed, dunce.

    1. GeorgeX continues his Marx/Alinsky attempt to change the meaning of the English language: “Kristi Noem is intent on provoking protesters and staging violent confrontations”

      The violent criminal Democrat street thugs in Portland’s Antifa are criminal rioters still engaged in violent criminal confrontations – not “protesters”. But GeorgeX wants to avoid using the telltale “Mostly peaceful rioters” that he first got from his masters at CNN.

      Portlands Democrat Antifa thugs were violent criminal rioters LONG before Kristi Noem ever came to town. They were violent criminal rioters in Portland just before Trump was elected and have been ever since.

      GeorgeX will continue his further claims that the Democrat street thug who transitioned from calling for the murder of ICE officers to actually attempting to murder ICE officers was FORCED by ICE to use her vehicle in an attempt to crush and/or kill them. She was forced to do it!

      GeorgeX still continues his mental masturbation as he convinces himself that he is has some shred of credibility here and is winning over people here to vote for Mamdani, Pritzker, Newsom et al…

      1. “ The violent criminal Democrat street thugs in Portland’s Antifa are criminal rioters still engaged in violent criminal confrontations – not “protesters”.

        So where’s your evidence?

        You haven’t provided anything to rebut my claims.

        1. GeorgeX… when you aren’t lyin’ you’re denying. And denial isn’t a river in the Middle East – it’s a stream of fraudulent defense of Democrat criminality. You boat on the Democrat River Of Denial, all while claiming your lies are evidence.

          Don’t your script writers at CNN cover Portland’s Democrat criminal rioters? Your “mostly peaceful rioters” are not law abiding protesters.

          You can legally protest lawful enforcement of federal Immigration law (the law you whined wasn’t used to deport American blacks to countries they had never seen after you Confederate Kluxxers lost the Civil War) to satisfy your demands that violent criminal Illegal Aliens be allowed to remain in the USA.

          But you just can’t figure out how to “protest” without violence, whether trying to blind ICE officers by shining lasers in their eyes or throwing Molotov Cocktails and bricks along with plain old common assault of those peace officers. ICE wasn’t your excuse back in June when you turned up the “mostly peaceful criminal rioting”.

          https://apnews.com/article/immigration-ice-protest-portland-oregon-ebc5df5a6b6e6d106dbeaf5af0f339ab
          The nighttime protests peaked in June after the nationwide “No Kings” marches, when Portland police declared one demonstration a riot. Since then, at least 26 protesters have been charged with federal offenses tied to the ICE building, including assaulting federal officers, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Oregon.

        2. You havent provided anything to support your claims George

          You still havent proven that you’re not a pedophile.

    2. you really, REALLY need to get back on your meds. For the sake of the children, you know, the ones in your third grade class.

    3. @X

      Really: how do you get more oblivious with every passing day? You are either working at it really hard, or you are given directives. I am actually glad you expose yourself and your mentality – sane people can see it for what it is, and this eludes you, as it eludes your alleged employers. You aren’t going to make sane and compassionate people cease to be sane or compassionate. Stick your own hand in the fire and get burned all you like; we will not join you there. Your rage is the very definition of impotent, no matter the level of it’s equal violence.

    4. UPDATE: It appears the clip purporting to be of a Portland police officer threatening to arrest an ICE agent was not the case. I WAS WRONG. It turns out this was a civilian driver attempting to drive through the protest zone. New video surfaced showing a different angle and a longer cut of the encounter. So that story is not about a Police officer threatening to arrest an ICE agent.

      https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-portland-police-ice-agents-10845548

      I will admit the initial story was not true.

      1. One admission of your CONSTANTLY REPEATING bullshlt without substantiation isnt going to fly George.

        No one here needs to prove every goddam thing you make up is false.

        Substantiate and cite your nonsense, or eat shlt. And i dont mean some left wing nut rag article. Thats not a source.

    5. “A Portland police officer threatens an ICE agent with arrest if he attempts to drive through protesters.”
      LONG before this, there was an excellent review on how the “law of self defense” applies with respect to ordinary citizens driving through a crowd or protestors.

      To summarize – an ordinary citizen can move his care through a crowd of protestors so long as they do so such that protestors are able to get out of the way – i.e. proceed slow enought hat protests can move – if they do not – any harm is on them.

      But the moment the protestors start beating on the car – the ability of the driver to use FORCE – drive a bit more agressively increases. Finally if the protestors actually damage the car – especially such that they pose a threat to the people in the care – breaking windows, or risking disabling the car – the vehicle can accelerate through the crowd.

      Next – change this to a car with law enforcement in it – and you accelate the allowed response.

      If a Portland police officer attempts to arrest an ICE agent who is engaged in law enforcement activities – they Portland officer will be arrested by ICE and prosecuted in federal court.

      “Kristi Noem is intent on provoking protesters and staging violent confrontations to justify Trump’s need to call up the national guard.”

      Typical left wing nonsense.

      Protest all you want. Do not get in the way of federal law enforcement and there will be no violent confrontations.

      You MAY NOT block officers vehicles – you MAY NOT block ANYONES vehicles. It actually could result in very serious felony charges. If you trap someone – in a vehicle or otherwise, such that they MUST run a gauntlet to escape – that is a slightly lessor felony that kidnapping.

      DO NOT play games of chicken with law enforcement,

      “Trump thought Portland Oregon was a war zone because he saw a news segment about the 2022 Portland riots and thought it was happening in real time.”
      Is the violence in Portland as bad as it was in 2020 – no. Is it still ongoing – absolutely.

      While the Video from TODAY is damning, what matters most is that when you start impeding law enforcement then you are no longer protesting – you are engaging in civil disobedience. That is on a different level, and if you do not expect to spend a long time in jail you better be absolutely certain that the entire country thinks you have the moral high ground – and you don’t.

      “We have CBP shooting a woman because they claim she attacked them.”
      X – there is video – it has run on the news.

      There are questions about exactly how many cars were boxing in ICE agents.
      But there is no question they were being boxed it.

      THAT IS A SERIOUS FELONY.

      There are questions as to whether ICE dumped other cars trying to escape or the other cars bumped ICE first.
      These only matter to the degree of Felony those engaged in Boxing in the ICE vehicles engaged in.

      There are questions as to whether the ICE vehicle rammed Martinez trying to escape or Martinez rammed ICE – again these only matter in establishing the level of Felony committed by Martinez and her crew.

      So lets look at the unlikely most extremely favorable circumstance for the left.

      4 vehicles boxed in an ICE vehicle and the ICE vehicle bumped them and then rammed them trying to get free.

      That is still MULTIPLE felonies for those participating in boxing in the ICE vehicle.

      “Turns out they attacked her.”
      Nope – you may not box in ANYONE else’s car that is a crime. You can not even do it when they are not moving.
      Whether you like it or not legally Martinez is the agressor – and that means ICE acted in self defense.

      1. John Say, first of all it was a CBP vehicle not ICE. Second, you haven’t read about the body cam CBP had running showing the agents ramming Martinez. They weren’t boxed in. They were just driving alongside. They may end up dropping the charges against Martinez. CBP has been lying about what happened.

        This article explains the whole thing in great detail.

  14. Many officials in the blue states are very close or have crossed the line in hindering federal agents from carrying out their duties. This is outline in the following:18 U.S. Code § 1505 – Obstruction of proceedings before departments, agencies, and committees. When the dispatch in Chicago went out boy order of John Hein not to assist federal agents who were threatened with deadly force, there is a clear and documented example of a federal crime. It will not be long before some of these officials will FAFO and it won’t be in a George Soros judge’s office. Why is he not in prison?

    Going back to 1963. John F. Kennedy issued Executive Order 111 and his brother and U.S. Attorney General sent 17,000 National Guard troops to allow 9 students to enter a non-segregated Alabama school. Sending a few hundred National Guardsmen to protect federal buildings is a drop in the bucket. The Supreme Court will rule on this and these cities and their insane officials will lose. When they do, there will be some who are dense enough to try the system and they will end up in federal prison.

    The crux of the matter is that the Biden administration and the radical left who actually ran the show, flooded the United States with 15,000,000 illegals, disobeying the federal immigration laws. They followed the rules for radicals and overwhelmed the system. It was done on purpose and now, it is apparent they do not want them to leave. They are protecting even the most hardened criminals. What insanity!

    The current immigration law was put on the books in 1952. Times have changed. That doesn’t make the law null and void. That is a matter for lawmakers. In the meantime, there is a severe doctor shortage, severe housing shortage, etc. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that if 15,000,000 more people are here and they are in government subsidized housing then there will be a shortage of housing from 15,000,000 legal citizens.

    The radial left has gone off the deep end of insanity! Fueling the chaos are the media outlets who have no problem spewing propaganda. It is expedient for every citizen to diligent seek truthful information. That will not come out of the mouth of a network talking head.

    1. They are not required to assist. The statute you cite refers to obstruction. Refusal to assist is not obstruction.

      In fact, the Supreme Court affirmed that there is no constitutional duty for police officers to protect persons from harm. See Castle Rock vs. Gonzales.

      They are not obligated to assist if they are not in a special relationship with ICE meaning if they have a contractual agreement to assist. Chicago police do not have a state mandate to assist federal agents in any capacity. That is why Trump is illegally sending National Guard Troops to assist.

      1. If they are indeed not required to protect federal agents then you’ve just made the argument that POTUS is 100% authorized to send in NG to protect federal agents and facilities…

        1. Wrong. Lack of assistance is not a valid legal reason to send in the troops. There is no foreign invasion, insurrection, and a lack of local capacity to deal with crime. This is an immigration issue. A Trump appointed judge found Trump has no authority to use troops for what he claims is a lawful use.

          1. X, X, X, stop pretending you don’t already know Trump has the authority to arrest illegals whenever they are.
            All the illegals that have resided here for years and gotten comfortable and end up deported can thank Biden and Traitors Inc. for opening the borders and bringing this issue to the point something had to be done. It’s Biden’s fault.

            1. Anonymous,

              “ X, X, X, stop pretending you don’t already know Trump has the authority to arrest illegals whenever they are.”

              Clearly you’re not paying attention. Nobody said anything about Trump not having the authority to arrest illegals. We were talking about Trump’s authority to deploy the national guard and active military. Keep up.

        2. Excellent point. Anyone hindering the duty of a federal agent in to carrying out federal law is in jeopardy of fines and imprisonment. If the state or the politicians do not cooperate in policing the rioters and agitators then there is every right to utilize federal asset, including the National Guard.

          The idiots who step in front of vehicles, touch or assault federal officers had better lawyer up. They are about to ruin careers and drain any assets they have in federal court.

          What idiot would ever impede a federal officer? The Supreme Court will rule and the blue state radicals will lose the argument. They have no grounds nor precedent on their side, only wishful thinking and fantasy.

      2. george
        That is why Trump is illegally sending National Guard Troops to assist.
        ______________________________
        Still the same lies george. Just like the little kid who was kidnapped. It turned out to be a lie.

      3. GeorgeX, Karen of a Thousand Whining Complaints and self proclaimed Internet Lawyer extraordinaire:

        When a judge attempts to help an Illegal Alien to escape arrest by the ICE officers outside of her courtroom by leading that criminal out of a private judge’s entrance at the back of the courtroom, that is obstruction. Which she has been indicted and removed from the bench while awaiting trial

        When city police refuse to honor a federal warrant and instead allow the criminals who are the subject of the warrant to go free, that’s obstruction. And when Portland police arrest a journalist who was

        And federal troops doing no law enforcement, but instead protecting federal facilities and federal employees from your Democrat Mostly Peaceful Criminal Rioters are not being used illegally to deal with the Democrat’s criminal terrorists, Antifa.

      4. George learned something yesterday

        Now cite your claim that Trump has acted illegally wrt NG.

        “He cant do that” is not a citation.

    2. “Federal agents”? Trump’s goon squad has killed one person in Franklin Park, Chicago and brutalized others around the country, like some hideous B movie thugs, rousting people out in the middle of the night. ICE agents are shooting rubber bullets at protesters. Rubber bullets can kill and damage organs. DJT wants to see the mayor of Chicago and the governor of Illinois in jail? Mr.Prez: take a look in the effing mirror.

      1. Cry harder Gigi, we can’t hear you.

        (Have you shed any tears for the many young women brutally raped and murdered by illegal aliens? I thought not.)

      2. So you now hate rubber bullets… Yes you fools said nothing when the Capital police were shooting these bullets during Jan 6th. Plus you could see some folks who were hit in the face. Lots of damage.

        1. Dustoff, speaking of lies,

          “ So you now hate rubber bullets… Yes you fools said nothing when the Capital police were shooting these bullets during Jan 6th. Plus you could see some folks who were hit in the face. Lots of damage.”

          Rubber bullets were never used on Jan.6 rioters. You must be very confused or just flat out lying. Got any evidence?

          1. Despite the restrictions, some officers used specific less-lethal items. For example, a witness account published by NPR describes officers firing “rubber bullets” and pepper spray at one point, though it’s unclear if these were standard issue or different types of munitions. A Politico report also mentions a rioter using a wooden pallet as a shield against “rubber bullets” and baton strikes.

            People we cover in blood from bullets striking their face. Watch the videos. I sure have

            1. A witness account? One? I though NPR was fake news by the way. It seems they were firing “rubber Bullets” as in not sure if they were indeed rubber bullets. They didn’t know what they were being pelted with could have been pepper balls instead.

              “ A Politico report also mentions a rioter using a wooden pallet as a shield against “rubber bullets” and baton strikes.”

              That does not mean rubber bullets were used. It states that rioter used a pallet in anticipation of rubber bullets and baton strikes. There are zero credible reports of anyone getting injured by rubber bullets or capitol police using rubber bullets. Zero.

          2. Try NPR george.. All you do is lie
            _____________________
            MOGELSON: Once we were inside, the dynamic between the officers and the rioters switched completely, whereas outside they had been in – under the bleachers, I’d seen them, you know, really going at the Trump supporters with nightsticks and pepper spray and rubber bullets, doing everything they could,

          3. Speaking of lies GeorgeX, lyin’ and denyin’ without any credible evidence tried this one: “Rubber bullets were never used on Jan.6 rioters. You must be very confused or just flat out lying. Got any evidence?”

            Didn’t happen if Commissar Pelosi’s J6 Commission hid the evidence from you, GeorgeX?

            The government video tape that was released after Trump was elected has been fabricated? Just like the Biden Bribery Laptop was fabricated by Putin to interfere with the 2020 election?

            New footage from January 6, 2021, released by Speaker Mike Johnson, reveals that Capitol Police fired rubber bullets and other projectiles into the non-violent crowd that was protesting outside of the building, inciting chaos and confusion.

      3. Violent criminal Democrat street thugs in Antifa are “protesters”. Or to quote CNN “Very violent, but mostly peaceful, protesters”.

        When you’re a proud Democrat you cannot think of a single way to protest that doesn’t require you to violate laws and engage in criminal violence.

        And rubber bullets can kill and damage organs – but Democrats know their violent street thug Antifa “protesters” aren’t going to harm a single law enforcement officer hit by a thrown Molotov Cocktail or construction brick.

    1. Actually democrats states rights movement began with The Missouri Compromise in 1820 and from there …. to civil war.
      Looking forward to the next one.

    2. Nor have they been as concerned about who will pick their crops since 1861.

      But back to states’ rights, two years ago they didn’t give a hoot about Texas’s rights to erect a razor wire barrier to protect itself from invasion, when Biden ordered it to be torn down. So with a D president opening the border, states have no rights. But with an R president trying to remove criminals who are here illegally, states have superior rights to the federal government.

      Now, how to explain this: are the D politicians in cahoots with the cartels that engage in drug and human trafficking, raking in billions in profits?

      1. Chicago blacks have been condemning city officials these past several years for using “their” money to provide for immigrants, which is to say the black Mayor is at odds with his black constituents.

        OMFK asked:

        are the D politicians in cahoots with the cartels that engage in drug and human trafficking, raking in billions in profits?

        Democrats are involved in theater and meme wars, not policies. Our political stage is now a modern day Shakespeare’s Globe Theater . Otherwise, coming as a political refugee from a Communist nation, I would not put anything past Democrats. Hamas are their pride and joy in how to rule a people. VA Democrat AG nominee Jay Jones has literally articulated a Hamas talking point vis a vis putting bullets in the heads of children and women.

        Black residents of Chicago slam city over $51 million in migrant care, demand reparations
        Thu, June 1st 2023

        https://local12.com/news/nation-world/black-residents-of-chicago-slam-city-over-51-million-in-migrant-care-demand-reparations-illinois-immigration

        1. Estovir,
          Correct. The Free Press ran an article about a Chicago black neighborhood where a closed elementary school was supposed to be transformed into a community center and after school activity center by the city. Suddenly, the city was going to make it into free housing for illegals. The community protested and even filed a lawsuit to stop it. A number of community members The Free Press spoke with were angry for all the support and money the illegals were getting where the community had been asking for assistance for over a decade.

      2. “Now, how to explain this: are the D politicians in cahoots with the cartels that engage in drug and human trafficking, raking in billions in profits?”

        There’s too much overlap between the policies, the outcomes, and the beneficiaries for coincidence to explain it all. Patterns this consistent point to central sources of power, money, and influence. The Chinese regime, with its control over fentanyl precursors and hostility toward America, has both motive and means. The cartels gain from border chaos and lawless profit. Certain American elites, especially on the left, have enough wealth and influence to steer narratives and policy in ways that serve those same interests.

        These forces don’t need formal meetings or signed agreements; money and influence can move indirectly, filtered through donations, consultants, or advocacy groups, until their beginnings disappear along with the awareness. The Biden family’s foreign dealings show how access to power can be sold. Many saw it happening and did nothing. Even the New York Times once had a China section, back when the threat was taken seriously. Now, the silence says more than the words, and the revelations coming from Congress speak loudly in favor of a central force.

  15. Watch out for AI technology! It may superimpose Chicago Mayor Johnson’s face on Geo Wallace’s body! or vice versa! ( I’m JOking)
    “MAY 27, 1963 — The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear a lawsuit filed by Gov. George Wallace seeking to remove troops from Alabama. In that suit, Wallace asserted the troops would “in effect create a military dictatorship.”
    https://www.al.com/birmingham-news-stories/2013/05/us_supreme_court_refused_to_he.html

    More seriously, I have seen on this blog a frequent attempt to cite the Posse Comitatus Act as an impediment to a president’s authority to invoke the Insurrection Act and deploy troops without a state’s request, permission, or concurrence. It appears to me that only Section 251 requires this. As exception, Section 252 does not, nor does Section 253?
    https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/252

    1. It’s not just the posse commitatus act that is an impediment to Trump’s use of military troops. The reality on the ground does not meet the criteria for deploying the troops. A Trump appointed judge made it pretty clear that President Trump’s claims were based on an alternate reality. Here is what the judge found,

      “ The protests generally were limited to fewer than 30 people and were “largely sedate.” Id. ¶ 25. If the protests were to increase or threaten public safety, PPB could call on additional available resources. Id. ¶ 26. But the protests have been such a minor issue, that the normal nightlife in downtown Portland has required more police resources than the ICE facility. Id.

      [snip]

      Defendants also express concern about danger in Portland because of incidents that have occurred elsewhere in the country. Id. ¶ 21. Most concerning is the sniper shooting in Dallas, Texas, targeting an ICE van, and the protest that followed in Chicago when a protestor was found with a firearm. Id. ¶¶ 21–22.

      [snip]

      Defendants’ declarants describe only four incidents of protesters clashing with federal officers in the month of September preceding the federalization order—on September 1st, 9th, 12th, and without further specification, the second week of September. Wamsley Decl., ECF 38 ¶¶ 16, 18; Cantu Decl., ECF 40 ¶ 15. The first involved protesters setting up a makeshift guillotine to intimidate federal officials; the second involved four people shining overpowered flashlights in the eyes of drivers; the third involved someone posting a photograph of an unmarked ICE vehicle online; and the last involved additional drivers having flashlights shone in their eyes. Cantu Decl., ECF 40 ¶ 15; Wamsley Decl., ECF 38 ¶¶ 16–18. These incidents are inexcusable, but they are nowhere near the type of incidents that cannot be handled by regular law enforcement forces. They also occurred at least two weeks before President Trump issued his directive.”

      The DOJ was unable to substantiate Trump’s claims. Trump paints these wild scenarios that he gets from watching TV footage from 2022 to justify sending troops. He has no authority to send any troops to these areas he falsey claims are crime ridden hell holes.

      1. George: No one but you is citing your extracted text as relevant.
        Not even the good Professor Turley is talking about the Portland case.
        Did you read what I said? DId I reference the current Oregon matter? Who was referring to that case?
        DO you seen anything posted today about the Posse Comitatus Act?
        Would you like to go back, which you frequently do, and count the times the PCA was brought up in prior comments over the last several weeks–that had nothing to do with the case you cite?
        (why did you decline to provide a link?)
        MY inference is that the Immergut ruling had NOTHING to do with the Posse Comitatus Act, but rather an expounding upon this: “As a threshold matter, this Court must determine to what extent the President can rely on violence that occurred months prior to his September 27, 2025 federalization directive and that had subsided by September.'”
        Try reading the entire decision which will put your extracted text in context, George.

        Please save your comment and re-post it when the good professor writes about the Oregon case. thanks in advance.

        1. Lin, you’re a lawyer. Surely you can infer why I made my post. You brought up the Posse Comitatus act. What the judge Oregon did is related to that because Trump wants to send the military to do things against the state’s wishes. Nothing happening on the ground in Oregon meets any criteria that authorizes Trump to deploy troops and that includes the Posse Comitatus act.

          As a lawyer you really do seem to be oblivous about certain things.

          1. georgie, what does Oregon’s judge’s ruling on ex post facto declarations that do not reflect current conditions have to do with anything? You make the most insane justifications for your pretend-legal meanderings. The more people call you out, the more defensive and aggressive become your responses. hilarious indeed.

      2. GeorgeX tried this Marx/Alinsky BullSchiff:
        “It’s not just the posse commitatus act that is an impediment to Trump’s use of military troops.”

        GeorgeX defended and celebrated Bribery Biden and Commissar Pelosi using THOUSANDS of military troops to wall off law abiding American citizens, not protesters, from the capitol buildings and surrounding areas for MONTHS just a short four years ago.

        GerogeX, famed Internet lawyer with his J.D. from the Internet Law School is now trying to claim the Posse Comitatus Act prohibits troops from being expressly used to protect federal facilities and federal employees from violent Democrat street criminals from their Antifa terrorist group. GeorgeX claims that is exactly the same as if they were hunting down and arresting the criminal Illegal Aliens that are here in violation of the US Immigration and Naturalization Act.

        GeorgeX claims the Posse Comitatus Act is being violated – but at the same time the US Immigration and Naturalization Act is NOT being violated.

        As a result, with no immigration violations, there is no reason for any federal officer to be there enforcing immigration law. And from that, absolutely no reason for any troops to be there protecting and defending federal property and federal employees.

        GeorgeX is the Democrat Karen Of A Thousand Faces. Proving yet again that the term “Marxist Useful Idiot” is as accurate today as it was a century ago.

  16. Sooo, I wonder. . . Do Big Blue Cities, like Chicago, Baltimore, Oakland, New Orleans – – – with all their violence and chaos, have special Rules for golf??? I mean, Great Britain did, back during the Battle of Britain.

    Golf Rules During The Battle Of Britain
    Posted on June 20, 2011
    During the Battle of Britain early in the Second World War, the St. Mellon’s Golf and Country Club, located in Monmouthshire, adopted a set of unusual rules for unusual circumstances.

    Written by B. L. Edsell, the club secretary, they read:

    1 – Players are asked to collect the bomb and shrapnel splinters to prevent their causing damage to the mowing machines.

    2- In competition, during gunfire or while bombs are falling, players may take shelter without penalty for ceasing play.

    3 – The positions of known delayed-actions bombs are marked by red flags at a reasonable by not guaranteed safe distance therefrom.

    4 – Shrapnel and/or bomb splinters on the fairways or in bunkers within a club’s length of a ball may be moved without penalty, and no penalty shall be incurred if a ball is thereby caused to be moved accidentally.

    5 – A ball moved by enemy action may be replaced, or if lost or destroyed, a ball may be dropped without penalty, not nearer the hole.

    6 – A ball lying in a crater may be lifted and dropped not nearer the hole, preserving the line to the hole, without penalty.

    7 – A player whose stroke is affected by the simultaneous explosion of a bomb may play another ball under penalty of one stroke.

    I don’t play golf, but I propose these rules. as a start:

    1. Players may not touch shell casings, but must mark them with a Red Flag, until Forensics Teams remove them.

    2. If a dead body falls on your ball, you may drop another ball at the same distance from the hole, without penalty.

    3. If your ball gets blood on it, you may drop another ball, without penalty.

    4. If your opponent is wounded or killed by stray gunfire, the game is paused indefinitely until the player has recovered, starting back from the tee for that hole. If your opponent is killed, your opponent may be replaced by another golfer of equal handicap, or you may simply finish your game without an opponent.

    5. If violent criminals are being chased by the police and/or K-9 units, through the field, players should pause play until the field is once again quiet. If a policeman or K-9 move your ball, another ball may be dropped. The same if the K-9 gets your ball and plays with it – drop a ball without penalty at the original point.

    6. If homeless people, drug addicts or criminals attempt to steal your golf equipment, while you are engaged in play, ask your bodyguard/caddy to handle the situation, so that play can continue.

  17. The language choices and redefinition of words by Johnson, Pritzker and other Democrats from the Democrat Borg (including our resident DNC liar GeorgeX) is an ongoing process. First laid out by Marx and then reinforced by the Chicago communist Saul Alinsky, hero and mentor to both Obama and Hillary Clinton.

    Marx gave Democrats their strategy of the last century with “The Communist Manifesto”. Saul Alinsky gave Democrats their tactics of the last two generations with his “Rules For Radicals”

    The language has been so corrupted in so many ways. When Democrat Marxists redefine words, they can claim their falsehoods are truth.

    “Genocide” is now defined by Democrat neo-Nazis as whatever Israel does for its self defense against Jihadi terror groups that vow to murder all the Jews.

    “Colonization” is the process by which persecuted Jews who were driven out of the surrounding Muslim countries after the failure of their 1967 war, fled to Israel for survival.

    “Free speech” means that Mahmood Khalil can coordinate anti-Jewish violence and attempt extortion at Columbia but nobody is allowed to give a pro-Israel speech.

    “Starvation” means when Hamas steals food Israel trucks into Gaza; a deliberate Israeli policy of shipping food to an enemy territory whose Arab population elected and support Hamas terrorists.

    “Oppressed” does not mean women being forced by Democrat men to having men cosplaying as women in their change rooms, or having lost your children being murdered in a Christian school by a Tranny; it means being “misgendered.”

    “Fascist” means anybody who rejects the Democrat Marxist totalitarian cause.

    “Hitler” means Pres. Trump.

    “Hater” is used to describe Charlie Kirk, not the assassin.

    “Diversity” means Democrat cultural Marxist groupthink, no dissenting views permitted.

    “Women” means biological men who say they’re women, even when they present male body parts. Those who menstruate are called “menstruating people,” not girls.

    “Healthcare” is elective abortion of healthy babies by middle and upper income women for convenience.

    “Rich” means whoever has $1.00 more than they do, and they should have to pay their “fair share” of taxes, which means whatever AOC, Bernie Sanders and their fellow travellers say it means.

    “Climate” or “Environmental Justice” means handing taxpayer money to left wing NGOs that help elect Democrats and some of which are attempting to rig our elections and engage in pro-Hamas terrorist butchery.

    It all reminds you of that third instruction manual of the Democrat Marxists; George Orwell’s ‘1984’.

    The passage where the government agent confidently tells Winston that once they control the language, the war was practically won.

    Well, they were close prior to Trump’s reelection… maybe they still are.
