Another Trump immigration triumph

DHS ends Temporary Protected Status for Haitian migrants
This morning.
The Trump administration can now legally ignore the district court nationwide injunctions.
The district courts can rule adversely on a case, but it cannot be applied across the country.
The recent EO defining birthright citizenship that was nuked by a district court injunction is now back in force (SCOTUS did not rule on the constitutionality of that).
BIG WIN!
Bet none of y’all had “kicks off for reals in formerly mellow, laid-back El Lay, duuuude, sparked by illegal-alien cuddling shitlibs violently turning on certain FederalGovCo departments and/or agencies for simply doing their jobs and nothing more” on your Civil War v2.0 bingo card, now didja?
Many Americans express bewilderment to me as to why even the soi-disant Euro-pussies would surrender their homelands to barbarians without a shot being fired. Fair point – except that the pilot programme for this unprecedented civilisational suicide was an American jurisdiction, and once one of the most glittering in the Union. Among forty-nine other states, it was the Golden State; it fired the imaginations not just of Americans but of much of the planet: California, here I come! Won’t you get hip to this timely tip? I left my heart in San Francisco…
Really? If you did, it’ll be sitting in a pile of fecal matter. Even as it happened, the loss of California was not much analysed: The Democrats preferred to take their victory sotto voce, while Republicans were still bleating about “Ronald Reagan’s California”, as if it had not joined the Lost City of Atlantis on the bottom of the seabed. Orange County, said Mr Reagan, is where “all good Republicans go to die”.
Almost right. It’s where the Republican Party went to die. In 1990 the OC was still two-thirds white; now it’s a third, or the same as the Hispanic population. And yet the GOP remains mystified why one of the most Republican strongholds in the country is now just another Democrat county. California has more electoral votes than any other state. Across the country, in another vote-rich state, New York City is now forty per cent immigrant.
In the end, it’s all demography. Yesterday, I quoted from an old column of mine from the immediate aftermath of the 2012 election. But I thought the whole thing could use a replay – because demography killed California, and demographic transformation is not a natural phenomenon.
Did someone mention NYC just now? Why yes, I believe someone did at that.
NYPD vehicles torched in suspected arson attack as cops find undetonated explosive devices nearby
Arsonists torched at least 11 NYPD vehicles in a targeted attack in a Brooklyn parking lot early Thursday — with undetonated explosive devices also found after two masked suspects were seen running away, police and sources said.Police and FDNY responded to a report of multiple vehicles ablaze at a lot in Bushwick at the intersection of Central and DeKalb avenues — just a block from the 83rd Precinct station house — around 1:30 a.m. Thursday.
Mayor Eric Adams said at an unrelated press conference that 11 vehicles were damaged and 14 were impacted. No injuries were reported.
The NYPD did not immediately give a suspected motive for the attack, however a flyer taped to a wall directly across from the police station accuses officers of the 83rd precinct of breaking up Puerto Rican Day festivities on Sunday night, injuring revelers.
The fliers called for resistance against the police, and tied in the anti-ICE and protests have spread from Los Angeles to New York City and global anti-Israel protests.
“Now is the time for unified, disciplined action — from Palestine to Puerto Rico to Los Angeles, the struggle for freedom continues,” the flier read.
The above-cited reports of outbreaks of organized, coordinated shitlib violence from sea to shining sea are purely coincidental and entirely unrelated, I’m sure.
This land is THEIR land update! So what’s really going on here, you might well ask? Oh, lots. Lots, and lots, and lots, and LOTS.
President of the Mexican Senate (TODAY):
“We’ll build the wall and pay for it. But we’ll do it according to the 1830 map of Mexico… Mexicans were settled in these territories before the U.S. The Mexicans living there are in what has always been their homeland.” pic.twitter.com/dvN6efNiSr

1830, is it, muchacho? Having to reach kinda far back to make your point, seems to me. Which usually indicates that the point you’re trying to make is not a very good one. To wit:
How US got California, other states from Mexico for $15 million in 1848
The flag of Mexico has become ubiquitous on the streets of America as a protest symbol against Donald Trump and his government’s immigration policies. Which makes sense given that many people in Texas and California have Mexican ancestry. Let’s take a look at when the US purchased California and half of Mexico’s territory in 1848 got California, other states from Mexico for $15 million in 1848The protests in Los Angeles, a response to the immigration policies of the Trump administration, continue to rage.
Though US President Donald Trump has sent thousands of National Guard troops as well as hundreds of marines, the demonstrators seem to be undeterred.
But how did it all come about? Let us take a closer look.
It all kicked off way back in the 1840s.
Tensions between the two countries had been growing for years.
On the one side you had the US evangelists of the concept of “manifest destiny” – which preached the superiority and the seemingly divine right of Americans to colonise whatever lands they saw fit on the continent – and on the other you had a wary Mexico.
In the meantime hostilities had nearly broken out between the two countries after the US Navy in 1942 – wrongly believing that war had broken out – seized Monterey in California.
While Monterey was immediately returned, it was a harbinger of things to come.
In 1845, outgoing President John Tyler annexed Texas as his final act in the US’ highest office.
By then, Mexico had severed diplomatic relations with the United States.
Polk began with diplomacy – he initially attempted to buy California, New Mexico and land near Texas for $30 million.
In November 1845, he even sent US diplomat John Slidell to open negotiations with Mexico.
However, Slidell was soundly rebuffed – the Mexican government refused to even see him.
But Polk was prepared– he had already sent US Army commander Zachary Taylor to occupy disputed land.
When Mexican troops fired on Taylor and his forces, Polk had the pretext he needed.
Polk immediately moved Congress for a declaration of war against America’s neighbour.
The Mexican-American War would end (with) the US comprehensively defeating its neighbour.
American armies led by General Zachary Taylor and General Winfield Scott, often outnumbered, would defeat Mexican troops again and again in a series of pitched battles.
The US lost more soldiers to infection and disease than actual battle.
Ulysses S Grant and Robert E Lee, the men who would respectively lead the Union and Confederate armies during the Civil War, received their first taste of real combat in Mexico.
And the rest, as they say, is history…like it or lump it, beaners.
The glancing mention of Grant and Marse Robert above is notable, apt, and historically insructive. By and large, Civil War v1.0 would be fought by two national armies whose officer corps had won their respective spurs in the Mex-Ami rhubarb. With the Federal army, the majority of its field-grade officers would be offered their commissions based almost entirely on their Mexican War reputations, which sometimes had been fairly won and other times…eh, not so much.
In the long run, the relative cakewalk South of the US border ended up serving the US and CSA both quite well as a sort of hands-on, non-classroom OCS/practical training course/advanced tactical studies program for the shattering, murderous conflagration soon to get underway North of the border.
Not again update! Another day, another dumpster-dive for those poor Jarheads.
Marines Deployed To Another Third-World Country Full Of Hostile Foreigners
LOS ANGELES, CA — As has become the standard operating procedure for the military branch over the last half-century, 700 members of the United States Marines found themselves being deployed to yet another third-world country that is full of hostile foreigners.
In this latest deployment to a non-English-speaking wasteland, the Marines were supremely confident that they would be able to handle the marauding hordes of foreign nationals, despite the inhospitable conditions presented by the rubble and destruction of the surroundings.
“Same thing, different day,” said Sergeant Heath Parsons. “We know the drill. We train and prepare until the day when our number is called and we have to report to save the world by traveling to some third-world hell-hole to confront foreign hostiles. We’re used to it at this point.”
Though there had already been some skirmishes in which Marines clashed with the angry natives in the area, the presence of the U.S. Military had already had an impact on the war-torn region. “You can catch little glimpses of what this place used to be like,” said another Marine. “It’s part of our job as Marines, in addition to being prepared to fight, to bring a little bit of hope with us from the United States to show places like this what life can be like under better circumstances.”
Some of the foreigners cautiously welcomed the Marines, while others remained combative when faced with English-speaking Americans.
Well, it’s just that, out in the “press 2 for English” sectors of the FUSA, they run across so vanishingly few of the darn things, see. Puts them right out of their reckoning. “Exotic” doesn’t even begin to cover the idea of an American in LA who actually speaks the King’s English.
At publishing time, rumors persisted that the Pentagon was committed to eventually establishing a democracy in the area.
Shhhhyeeeaah, THAT’LL be the day. You’d have a tough time coming up with much more than, oh, eight or ten people—irrespective of ethnicity, nationality, income (if any) and/or educational level, citizenship status, gender, sexual orientation, etc etc who’d be willing to admit harboring even a passing interest in that ”democracy/liberty/prosperity” horsepuckey at this late date, I‘d guess. Well, except for the areas within, say, five-ten minutes’ walk of Ft Irwin, Camp Pendleton, Coronado, Miramar, Seal Beach, and El Centro, perhaps—haven’t been out to any of those places in a long while, but I can’t imagine that the old-time religion of abiding love of country, strong sense of duty and honor, the legacy of traditions and beliefs faithfully passed down from our Forefathers from generation to generation have all just quietly passed not just from existence but even from the memories of our young soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines. No way.
Then again, though, throw San Fransicko, San Berdoo, Compton, and Oakland into the mix with LA and it would probably be more than enough to tip the scales well back into Team Stalin territory and away from any more of that “democracy” nonsense for good.
Let’s not even go into the impact on this “democracy” discussion Cullyfornia’s military airfields; training bases; rifle, AGM, aerial bombing, and artillery ranges, as well as not-quite-as-venerable but every bit as proud, honorable installations such as Fort St George of Fentanyl, Camp Jordan Neely, and NAS “Bathhouse” Barry Soetero are likely to bring to bear when all’s said and done, ‘kay?
This 9-0 Supreme Court ruling sends a loud and clear message: the DEI house of cards is starting to collapse. First, it was academia. Now, it’s the workplace. The tide is definitely turning – and not a moment too soon.
Do not give up. Do not listen to those that say we can not come back. They are at best a disservice to America, and at worst, on the other side.

I checked with the hospital, then sent text to Mike and he responded that they were expecting to send him home from the hospital today or tomorrow.
I’ll let Mike provide details as he wishes when he gets back to his blog. I just know he is breathing and can type out a text complaining about being in bed for a week 🙂
It’s so unexpected… It so exceeds expectations…
And yet, these fools that claim otherwise will never, never ever, look at the results of Trump policy term 1 before the deep state shut down the economy to stop the growth lest the average American figure out the con game they are playing.
And let’s add this bit – growth will allow us to get out of debt, reduce/eliminate the deficit – growth is the key to future wealth – And Trump knows all this…
And 3.8% is just the beginning
Before the cabal of commies ended the Trump miracle Term One I predicted we would end up with growth in the 5-6% range, and that is where we were headed before they shut it down.
Trump is prepared this time, he knows their tricks, and it shows.
Why Trump is going to eventually crack even harder on China and use economic leverage to run the communists out of the America’s.
Keep your enemy in their hemisphere…
Cuba is a strategic battleground for China against the USA
10 minutes to the start of the greatest motorsport event in the world!
This is a new story (to me), and I have heard many stories of Trump’s kindness long before he decided to run for president, and Trump NEVER mentions them.
There are no perfect men, but there are good ones:
https://x.com/NEWSMAX/status/1923535501375488298
in Britain perhaps. Might notice some similarities to the USA.
The resolution has three components: term limits for Congress, imposing fiscal restraints on the federal government, and limits on the power and reach of the government.
According to the anti-Trump pro-China “media”, republican rino’s, and everyone from the Wall Street Journal to Fox News.
In spite of the fact that during term one Trump put tariffs in place and the effect was exceptional – American prosperity rose rather than declining as it had been – the China enablers (bought and paid) continue to push the old business school canard that tariffs are bad.
And here we are, April has ended with the market going ballistic and up, not down as predicted. Jobs, real ones not government fakes, continue to defy expectations. Billions of new investment is on the way. Countries are at the table now to work out deals for access to the American market, deals that will save their economy while bolstering ours and ridding us of the China problem. There will be announcements soon.
Between DOGE finding and eliminating the theft of your money, Trump cutting other federal funding, and tariffs replacing other taxation (your income tax) the goal is to eliminate income tax for the vast majority of American citizens.
The border is closed – no more budget dwindling illegals crossing, and the worst are being sent home with the remainder to come. The big drain on the budget will get eliminated.
We are still alive, and the plans are in place to make our lives considerably better and far wealthier, while enhancing freedom and liberty, the true underpinning of prosperity.
They said I would be homeless, begging for soup, and regretting my vote for Donald Trump.
Ukraine has signed a minerals deal with the US. A deal which has three primary components:
1) Secure “rare” earth minerals for the US
2) Pressure Putin to make a deal to end the war
3) Tell the chinese to stuff it with their wish to be the sole provider of certain rare earth minerals
Time will tell, but I expect a peace deal will follow soon enough.
While they deny it, the Chinese have been negotiating for a better tariff position, while backing down on certain tariffs at the same time. They really have no choice, but we do. Our problems from a trade war are short term economic pain, for china they may be regime and life ending.
Ukraine signs deal to give US access to rare minerals
That sums up the first 100 days of the Trump Administration, Term Two.
Since I became aware (age 12, 1965*) of the roll the federal government plays in our freedom and liberty, the protection of freedom for Americans, I have been waiting for a president that gave a damn about the ordinary every day average American. That is a span of 60 years. We got that man in 2016, but the deep state forces are entrenched, they are large, they are well armed, and they succeeded in derailing some of the Trump agenda. Even then Trump found a way…
So, my opinion, they loosed a virus on the world, one they knew was similar to the flu in effect, and ginned up their campaign to destroy an economic miracle** because they could not let people find out how easy it was to have a growing economy that produces wealth for all Americans. They cannot control happy wealthy Americans… From that flowed the ability to rig the next election and eliminate Trump. Recall, that both parties were involved…
And they put in the office a vegetable while they controlled everything, hidden, unaccountable – they had an auto pen, and they used it.
Americans figured this out and 2024 was “to big to rig”, close scrutiny was the rule of the day this time around, and president TRUMP was ready. The first 100 days reflect this, the most significant 100 days in American history save the period of 1776, December 1941, the events of Midway in ’42, and “D” Day in ’45. There has certainly never been anything like this. And in the media, crickets or bitching.
*Summer of 1965, my Dad’s youngest brother (20) is on the way for a visit as he travels from Ft Benning to a posting northwest. My father was very worried that he would get sent to a country in SE Asia. It’s my first recollection of that kind of worry, and he was clearly relieved when we found out where he was being sent. Later I would discover just how worried he and his military brothers were about their kids being sent to a war that is not being fought. My father and his 6 brothers (3 career Military) did not want their children to be used in a political war, one that the USA had no intention of actually winning. They made efforts to keep that from happening, but in the end it was just the luck of the draw (draft) and a promise to go to school first…
