As President Trump suggests the federal government should "nationalize" and take over the elections process from the states, we speak with Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes. He is the former county recorder for Maricopa County, Arizona, and oversaw elections there in 2020. The Justice Department has sued Arizona and over 20 other states for their full voter registration lists. "No means no," Fontes says in response to the Trump administration's encroachment on state authority. "We should not be handing over any of our personal identifying information to the president. Not only should we not be doing it, but it's against the law for me to fulfill the request from the Department of Justice."

The host asks him about his police department officers working with ‘The Crazy Don’s ‘Mob Enforcers’, as crowd control, he skits around the question & goes back to the evil (& yes it is evil, not saying i t is not) of ‘The Crazy Don’s ‘Mob Enforcers’ actions in his city.

I keep posting here that mayors do not want to take on their police departments

Aliya Rahman, a disabled U.S. citizen, testifies at a congressional forum examining DHS use of force. > Rahman says she was stuck in a Minneapolis traffic jam on the way to a medical appointment when an ICE agent yelled at her to move, then smashed her window. She says she told the agent she was disabled, but the agent replied “TOO LATE,” cut her seatbelt, and dragged her from the car. Rahman says she was never charged. > She also describes what she says she experienced in detention — including people chained together — and says she blacked out on the cell floor while others were afraid to speak up. DHS has disputed Rahman’s account in public statements after video of her arrest drew widespread attention.

Trump ran on a promise to lower costs on day one, but a year into his presidency, the real beneficiaries are his billionaire donors. Instead of making life more affordable for everyday Americans, Trump has used the presidency to enrich himself and his billionaire allies, while making the largest cuts to Medicaid and food assistance in history and leaving working families behind.

As families struggle with rising costs, Trump has effectively turned the White House into a slush fund, running the federal government like a personal ATM.

Amid a deadly immigration crackdown by Trump’s federal agents with the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, residents of Minneapolis are patrolling the city to keep people safe. They tell The Independent's chief international correspondent Bel Trew, out on the streets alongside them, how they have no intention of giving up.

…The Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes/Owners “involved” the sick & evil of Mr. Epstein Sex Trafficking Girls-Women violated those same morality, ethics & laws & face either next to nothing (the small amount of the Epstein files released & redacted did nothing, it is everything outside of those redacted files) or nothing at all as far consequences.

I remember a strong & angry reply I posted to some member’s reply saying not all The Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes/Owners are bad, & I stick by that post. As ‘The Democracy Now’ segment pointed-out-
How do we know either way or better-good or bad-evil & sick members of The Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes/Owners? While at the same time ‘The Democracy Now’ segment & The France24’s Press Review’s segment points-out there is no worries among about getting caught, only the “public” face of it all/Mr. Epstein worried, to E-Mailing about them putting what the others/customers put in their E-Mails to him. But then Mr. Epstein was working as a spy for The ?USSR’s?-Russia’s KGB- https://www.france24.com/en/tv-shows/press-review/20260202-daily-mail-epstein-s-sex-empire-was-honeytrap-directed-by-the-kgb.

“A good rule of thumb when looking at a Republican-drafted bill or campaign is that its name is directly the opposite of whatever it is meant to achieve. If there is something about ‘protecting women’ in the title, for example, then it’s probably actually about controlling women or bullying transgender people. The same is true of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (Save) Act, which would change the way US citizens register to vote. The purpose of the bill doesn’t seem to be to safeguard democracy but to help destroy it through stealth disenfranchisement.

“If it became law, the Save Act would require Americans to provide a birth certificate, passport, or other citizenship document to register or re-register to vote. Per one Brennan Center Study, more that 21 million American citizens, many of whom are engaged voters, do not have easy access to these documents. While just over 8% of self-identified white American citizens don’t have these documents readily available, the Brennan Center found the number is nearly 11% among Americans of color.

“Of course the Save Act isn’t being presented as a way for Republicans to sneakily sway the midterms in their favour as confidence in Trump dips. Rather, it’s being presented as a way to stop fraudulent voting. “[W]e all know, intuitively, that a lot of illegals are voting in federal elections,” house speaker Mike Johnson said during a press conference about the act when it was first introduced in May 2024. “But it’s not been something that is easily provable.” I think we all know, intuitively, that it’s not easily provable because that claim is nonsense.”

Border Patrol Agent Aiming 40mm Launcher At My Head - ICE Protest 1/31

Picture from Saturday's protest at the Portland ICE facility. An agent fixed his 40mm launcher at my head twice, despite me very obviously being a photographer.

…We would NOT be in BLANK, We are in Now-‘The Crazy Don’s Second-Presidential Term.

The people may not have yet to come out in the numbers, constantly done it in shifts & everywhere these evil sickos go as they should, but the parties are filled with members of our species that should be able take the lesser activism & still solved this evil-sicko problem!

If the solution was imprisoning ‘The Crazy Don’ & his administration, then so be it, instead of running the clock on the Jan 7th, 2020 insurrection, as BOTH parties did.

I will forever remember what follows along with other times/campaigns that ‘The Dem. ‘90+% Capitalist’ Party have violated the voters trust!

The first-time I (& my ‘Dem. “90+% Capitalist” Party protecting family members) were protesting the ‘Crazy Don’s First-Presidential Term’s federal gov.’s Cutler Bay, Fl. concentration camp, the running for re-election Dem. ‘90+% Capitalist’ Party candidates were all there & promising such nice actions on their parts.

The second-time I (& my ‘Dem. “90+% Capitalist” Party protecting family members) were trying to protest the federal gov.’s Cutler Bay, Fl. concentration camp, the running for re-election Dem. ‘90+% Capitalist’ Party candidates were all like we cannot do it, because The Rep. ‘Crazy Capitalist’ Party Pinecrest, Fl. mayor said no.

As a long time activist, been in protest actions were a lot worst was legally done, I was mad & only found-out why it was replaced with a campaign stop that pointing-out if Hillary ‘Hid Her Husband’s Sex With Trafficked Women’ Clinton was now President, then this would not being happening. Like the first protest we attended their was our Dade County Commissioner, who formerly was a former Social Worker & campaigned on that (much like Mr. Obama campaign on being a former poor people’s rights activist in Chicago; not saying either is not true, just their hearts have obviously changed), attended the second event.

When a new, to me, activist that was distributing signs that said, abolish ICE (back then), also showed-up again, she decided she was going get on the stage & talk about the concentration camp & imprisoned immigrants.

One of the running for re-election Dem. ‘90+% Capitalist’ Party candidate, over the open mike, yelled that she had to wait until everyone else spoke. As you can imagine after the last running for re-election Dem. ‘90+% Capitalist’ Party candidates was done speaking the event was done, so no she was never given ability to speak.

Long before that I was so mad, I just left for the car, that I was carpooling with my parents in, my family members that showed-up loved the event. I was the only member of my family that walked-out of the BS!

…There Is The Option To NOT Vote, When You Were A Former Dem. ‘90+% Capitalist’ Party/Rep. ‘Crazy Capitalist’ PARTY Voter, But Cannot Find A Political Left Party’s Candidate! After you experience the link I provided of ‘The Democracy Now’ segment, From George Floyd to Alex Pretti: “Copaganda” Author on Myths About Immigration, Crime & Policing, you will understand why I said the above!

For the linked ‘Democracy Now’s segments:

From George Floyd to Alex Pretti: “Copaganda” Author on Myths About Immigration, Crime & Policing- This is must understand about our country, been this way from the creation of law enforcement. https://www.democracynow.org/2026/1/27/alec_karakatsanis

“He Was Executed”: Minneapolis Residents Outraged, Defiant After Immigration Agents Kill Alex Pretti- Go to 54-Mins. & notice how the city’s police (the national guard was not there!) just waited for ‘The Crazy Don’s ‘Mob Enforcers’ to do their illegal, sick & evil actions on the activists & immigrants & move-on, before they moved-in. https://www.democracynow.org/2026/1/26/alex_pretti_shooting_minneapolis

“ICE Out”: Tens of Thousands March in Minnesota in General Strike Against Immigration Raids- Go to 25-Mins. & notice how the city policy are corralling the activists at the airport, NOT taking on ‘The Crazy Don’s ‘Mob Enforcers’. https://www.democracynow.org/2026/1/26/minnesota_strike_ice_out

Yes, ‘Democracy Now’ is doing a awesome job, that lamestream media will never do, of mentioning & showing in short parts of segments how The Dem. ‘90+% Capitalist’ Party Politically Controlled Minnesota’s & Minneapolis’s Politicians are NOT doing their jobs in PHYSICALLY (words mean nothing without actions, first & legal actions take way too long) protecting Immigrants & activist from ‘The Crazy Don’s ‘Mob Enforcers’ & with today’s awesome segment (I am buying that book), how we are a country where both parties use police-ICE to keep people happy with the sick & evil system of Capitalism, but…
…my criticism of ‘D N’s coverage of this is they not had expert on for a full 30-min. segment talking how The Dem. ‘90+% Capitalist’ Party Politically Controlled Minnesota’s & Minneapolis’s Politicians must do their jobs in PHYSICALLY (words mean nothing without actions, first & legal actions take way too long) protecting Immigrants & activist from ‘The Crazy Don’s ‘Mob Enforcers’!

So I am serious when I say if The Minnesota National Guard & Minneapolis Police (& any other Minnesota’s cities’ police want to join in; why the BLANK not, your city could be next?) PHYSICALLY (even if shots are fired by them) protecting the immigrants & people causes either A EMERGENCY ‘USA Supreme Court’ Case or worse a new Civil War, then was worth it!! We as the sane & majority people of The USA cannot allow this to go on like it is & when it is finally stopped unanswered!!!!! As I posted here before, this is even a situation where these states should working with a EU military force to protect these immigrants & people, it a MARK ON NOT JUST THE DEM. ‘90+% CAPITALIST’ PARTY, BUT THOSE EU COUNTRIES!!!!! I know UN cannot do anything, under the way The UN laws protect the evil actions of the 5-most powerful countries, since WW II

Who are the analogues of Röhm and Himmler? And who do you think will come out on top?

Edit: initially said Border Force instead of Border Patrol

Why does the stock market keep going up when the economy feels so bad? It’s the question we probably get the most and, quite frankly, it’s not a bad one. The primary reason equities seem invincible is because of the dramatic increase in the money supply over the past four decades. That explains the supply side of the equation at least. But a lot had to happen behind the scenes to allow for the money supply to be absorbed into the financial system and ultimately benefit a fraction of the population.

Why?
&
What is it’s activist about it?

I am only curious, because I truly do not see it, as activism, more fun than anything. I am a pretty serious person, who takes why I am risking being a activist extremely serious; not that those in these things are not, just do not know.

As President Donald Trump formally inaugurated his so-called Board of Peace at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday, his son-in-law Jared Kushner presented his vision of turning the Gaza Strip into an upscale seaside resort with gleaming skyscrapers and entirely new cities. The proposal is said to require an investment of at least $25 billion, and Kushner’s presentation showed a map of the besieged territory divided into different zones. This all comes as Palestinians in

Yet again I will say-
The UN dominated by the 5-most powerful countries, post WW II, is thus worthless & needs to rebuilt, so it can enforce International Laws (you know those things Nazis woke-up your grandparents’ or great grandparents’ to need for them to be enforced as punching down on minority dominated countries; so what The BLANK is our excuses? <just watched the legend that is Lewis ‘Back 8n Black’ Black on The TDS>) generations on all countries-people that violate them,

&

Almost the entire The EU is a going along with the greater Genocide of The Palestine/Palestinians, in which Palestine will disappear & the Palestinians will become economic slaves on the level of evil past of South Africa!
