“Big part of war”…

President Declares War on American cities:

And by the way, the police also, fire department. I always put the fire department in because they’re great. They’re great, and I got 95 percent of their vote too, that helps. When you get 95 percent of the vote, you always have to mention them, but they’re great.

And they’re brave in our inner cities, which we’re going to be talking about because it’s a big part of war now, it’s a big part of war.

But the firemen go up on ladders and you have people shooting at them while they’re up on ladders. I don’t even know if anybody heard that. And actually don’t talk about it much, but I think you have to. Our firemen are incredible. They’re up on one of these ladders that goes way up to the sky rescuing people, and you have animals shooting at them — shooting bullets at firemen that are way up in death territory.You fall off that ladder, it’s over, it’s over.

They don’t even have to inspect you when you hit the ground. And you have people shooting bullets at them in some of these inner cities. We’re not going to let that happen. So, I always mention the firemen because that’s actually a big problem we have. They are unbelievable.

Seems like Memphis at the request of the Governor is gonna get the “war” on it’s residents, before Portland, OR…

Show more =’s We are so much more hardcore than they are.

“We” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that clip.

Make military violence against our own people great again…

I’m aware ICE is unhinged in Chicago, but they aren’t military. They’re shitty humans dressed up as law enforcement, handed way too much immunity to do whatever the fuck they want.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents raided a South Shore apartment building overnight as the city braces for a possible military deployment.

Wednesday morning, DHS officials said in a statement, “”In the early morning hours of September 30, 2025, allied federal law enforcement agencies with CBP, FBI, and ATF, executed an enforcement operation in Chicago’s South Shore area, a location known to be frequented by Tren de Aragua members and their associates. Some of the targeted subjects are believed to be involved in drug trafficking and distribution, weapons crimes, and immigration violators.”

DHS said 37 people were arrested.

ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later.

“They just treated us like we were nothing,” Fisher said.

Fisher said she came out to the hallway of her apartment complex on the corner of 75th and South Shore Drive in her nightgown around 10 p.m. Monday only to find armed ICE agents yelling “police.”

“It was scary, because I had never had a gun in my face,” Fisher said. “They asked my name and my date of birth and asked me, did I have any warrants? And I told them, ‘No,’ I didn’t.”

Fisher said she was handcuffed before being released around 3 a.m., and she was told that if anyone had any kind of warrant out for them, even if it was unrelated to immigration, they would not be released.

President Shitshow’s public schedule for…

10/02/2025:

Not sure a briefing on his intelligence will help at this point!

Flash News…

President Lies lies about why the Democrats refused to vote for the CR to keep the government open a few weeks.

President Doesn’t Know Anything About Project 2025 bragged about its author, Russ Vought, using the Republican-caused government shutdown as cover to break laws and fire a bunch of unpaid federal employees.

But but but…

Speaker of the House President Minions top Minion says Russ Vought is not excited about firing or gutting government; which is illegal, he’s “not enjoying it” and he does this “reluctantly.”

Show more =’s if they keep the government closed, it’s gonna get more and more painful.

Senator Mike Lee has entered the chat…

Speaking of Mike Johnson the horrible Speaker of the House…

After President Unwell gave his unhinged address to our military’s top brass, Johnson was confronted about how unwell the President is…

Show more =’s DEAN: It’s so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a president who is unwell.

Notice that Johnson did say he wasn’t unwell, he deflected to D’s unwell too!


The golden age will come!

She wasn’t the only cabinet member to talk about farmers this morning…

I found this chart via another tweet that I can’t find now…

I failed googling the source so asked Grok. Grok provided me with the New York Times article (gift link–09/25/2025).

Each week, the Agriculture Department publishes a summary of the latest exports of American crops. Lately, they have all been missing the same thing: The sale of soybeans to China.

Soybeans are the single largest American export to China in terms of value, $12.6 billion worth last year. But as the fall harvest gets underway across the country — 9 percent of planted beans had been harvested as of last week — the country that bought 52 percent of all American soybean exports last year is completely absent.

Sept. 1 was the beginning of the new marketing year for soybeans, the starting point for big sales. Instead, China hasn’t bought any American soybeans since May.

But sure let’s What About Biden!, this bullshit…


Terror Attack in the UK.

A man wearing what appeared to be a bomb-laden vest attacked a synagogue in Manchester, England, on Thursday, killing two people and injuring four others in what the country’s counterterrorism police described as an act of terrorism.

The police said that officers had shot and killed the attacker. Two people have been arrested in connection with the attack, the police said, but they did not release their identities or indicate how they might have been connected to the suspected assailant. The attack took place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

A horrific scene, captured and quickly disseminated on social media, began when the attacker, who has not been identified by police, rammed a car into people outside the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation in the heart of the large Orthodox Jewish community north of Manchester.

“The driver of the car was seen then to attack people with a knife he was wearing about his body, a vest which had the appearance of an explosive device,” said Stephen Watson, the chief constable of the Manchester police department.

Police said that after the attacker got out of his car and started stabbing people, he was prevented by security guards and others from entering the synagogue, where morning Yom Kippur prayer services had begun about a half-hour earlier. A large number of people were worshiping at the synagogue, they said, and were held inside while the immediate area was made safe but had since been evacuated.

The attack occurred in an area of Manchester that is home to many Orthodox Jews and at a time of heightened fears in the Jewish community as tensions persist over the two-year-old war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

The Manchester police said in a statement that a large number of people were worshiping at the synagogue, Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation, at the time of the attack. They were held inside while the immediate area was made safe but have since been evacuated, it said.
