JUDGE ARRESTED

My late friend Wil Toole used to say that all Judges are kings in their courtroom. They could do whatever they want until over ruled by a higher court.

But even this seasoned political pro and veteran would be aghast at the arrest of a sitting county Judge.

Judges in LuLac land, THIS COULD BE YOU!

A Milwaukee County Circuit judge was arrested by the FBI Friday and charged in federal court for allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant avoid arrest.

Judge Hannah Dugan is facing two charges for obstruction and concealing the individual from arrest. She made an initial appearance in court and was released.

The defendant, Ruiz was not an angel. But they had no warrant and then came back with the wrong one.

Plus, after both the FBI director and Pam Blondie the AG commented on the case without a warrant, they violated judicial canons that would get any lawyer disbarred. 

 

IMMIGRATION AND SOCIAL SECURITY

LINKING IS A BAD RECIPE FOR TRUMP

President Donald Trump could cut billions from the Social Security trust fund without passing a single law.

By reducing immigration to the United States and deporting people already here, the Trump administration could dramatically reduce the amount of money going into the earned benefits program over the next few years.

That's because many noncitizens pay Social Security taxes even though they don't typically qualify for benefits, so they're essentially putting money into the pot without taking any out.

A recent report showed exactly how much of a problem Trump's immigration policies could be for the earned benefits program. According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a progressive think tank, lower-than-expected immigration could lead to an increased revenue shortfall of 11.4% each year.

Already, the Social Security trust fund is projected to be depleted by 2035, which would mean benefits would either have to be slashed to what can be paid by taxes coming in each year — about 75% of current benefits, according to the Social Security Administration — or taxes would have to be raised. Regular yearly shortfalls of money going into the trust fund would only speed up that date.

Trump erratic deportations are not thought out. He focuses in on migrant crime but truth be told most crimes committed in this country come from home grown citizens. One murder is enough of a law-abiding citizen by an illegal but to exploit that is the Trump model of blowing relatively isolated incidents out of proportion. They are coming after Social Security and demonizing illegals who work here and PAY taxes will only hasten its diminution,  Who will pay? All American seniors.

 

ELECTION DAY

IN CANADA

President Trump in an interview published Friday was adamant that he is serious about his talk of adding Canada as the 51st state, something Canadian leaders have outright rejected.

The president sat down for an interview with Time magazine, during which a reporter suggested Trump may have been “trolling a little bit” with his repeated comments that Canada should be absorbed into the United States.

“Actually, no, I’m not,” Trump said in the interview, which was conducted Tuesday.

“I think Canada, what you said that, ‘Well, that one, I might be trolling.’ But I’m really not trolling,” Trump added. “Canada is an interesting case.”

The president repeated his frequent claims that the U.S. is losing money to Canada because of trade deficits and that there is no need for America to import Canadian products.

“We’re taking care of their military. We’re taking care of every aspect of their lives, and we don’t need them to make cars for us,” Trump told Time. “In fact, we don’t want them to make cars for us. We want to make our own cars. We don’t need their lumber. We don’t need their energy. We don’t need anything from Canada. And I say the only way this thing really works is for Canada to become a state.”

Trump has for months mused about Canada becoming a state, shrugging off the border between the two countries as arbitrary and mockingly referring to then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as “governor.”

While some critics at the time had suggested Trump was not serious about the idea, Trudeau and the Canadian politicians vying to replace him as prime minister repeatedly shut down the concept of Canada becoming a state. 

Trump has also spoken about acquiring Greenland, which is an autonomous territory under the kingdom of Denmark. Danish leaders have rejected that idea.

The president told Time that Greenland “would be very well off if they — I think it’s important for us for national security and even international security.”

This statement by Trump just before an election in Canada is JUST PLAIN DUMB. The Liberal party was on the ropes before he started on his 51^st state shit, now Canadians are boycotting U.S. goods and prepared to put the liberals in power to counteract this greed and ignorance.

 

CHINA CANCELS 12,000 METRIC TONS OF PORK FROM

UNITED STATES

China canceled 12,000 metric tons of United States pork shipments amid a high-stakes trade standoff between the superpowers, according to data released Thursday.

China, one of the biggest U.S. trading partners, axed 12,000 metric tons of U.S. pork orders, the data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) shows.

The move represents the biggest cancellation of pork orders since the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted supply chains and stalled economies around the world, Bloomberg News reported.

China, behind Mexico and Japan, was the U.S.’s third-biggest market for pork in 2024, importing some 475,000 metric tons valued at more than $1.1 billion.

China is the world’s biggest producer of pork, accounting for nearly 50 percent of global supply at around 57 million metric tons, according to the USDA. The U.S. was ranked third at 11 percent with 12 million metric tons.

China said Thursday that the U.S. is not engaged in talks to come up with a new trade deal, a characterization that Trump rejected later in the day..

Trump of course slung his shit and LIED abut it that day.  Once more, as I wrote last week, China is showing that while it may not be an optimum situation for them, they can live without us.

 

PUTIN PROVES

TRUMP IS HIS BITCH

Russian President Vladimir Putin is showing up President Trump with his refusal to stop bombing in Ukraine as the U.S. works to broker an end to the ongoing war between the two countries. Apparently all the expressions of friendship and entreaties of peace are not fazing the Russian President as he bombs targets killing innocent people.

“I am not happy with the Russian strikes on KYIV,” Trump wrote on Truth Social website. “Not necessary, and very bad timing. Vladimir, STOP! 5000 soldiers a week are dying. Lets get the Peace Deal DONE!”

Yeah well the big buffoon braggart we call a President is getting his as handed to him by “his friend”. But Diaper Don (always lying and full of shit) and that will not end well. Trump might fancy himself as a bully but he’s up against a super bully, a king of the bullies if you will, who happens to be a KILLER.

 

THE POPE’S

FUNERAL

One real Christian President went, Joe Biden.

One thug UN-Christian, amoral pig went. Trump.They put Trump's rump in the front row where he was eviscerated by the Vatican principle giving the homily.

There is no greater contrast in the final tribute to Francis, who accepted all souls.  Luckily for Trump, dark ones too.
