Happy Thanksgiving

Yep, big difference, and a very obvious one. Democrat sanctuary cities won’t cooperate with ICE to remove rapists and murderers, but that’s about to change.

lol, ridiculous comparison, cities that harbor MS-13 members are absolutely a bad thing. You seem to fall in line with anything your party puts out, without question.

Exactly!!!

[Hidden Content] One more reason why democrats should never be in charge of anything. From the article: The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously last week to become a "sanctuary city," categorically withholding any municipal assistance to federal immigration authorities despite a bevy of illegal immigrants arrested there for violent crimes and even violence against children this year. The 13-0 vote last Tuesday comes weeks after President-elect Donald Trump's ballot-box victory and in the same year that dozens of illegal immigrants were picked up by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers in the L.A. metro area for murder, homicide and assault against children. So far this year, Los Angeles ERO has arrested 1,263 illegal immigrants in the metro area so far this year, and 715 of them had criminal convictions, according to ICE data. The agency gathered 19,726 noncitizens between 2021 and 2024, and 7,255 of them, about 36%, had prior criminal convictions. That includes 26 illegal immigrants with pending charges or convictions for murder, homicide and assault against children who were arrested in the Los Angeles area during a nationwide operation from Jan. 16-28, ICE said.

There are so many democrat possibilities this could have been about.

[Hidden Content] From the article: President-elect Trump's nominee to serve as Treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, has touted a "3-3-3" economic plan that would seek to reduce budget deficits while boosting growth and energy production. Bessent discussed the 3-3-3 plan this summer at an event hosted by the Manhattan Institute. He said it would involve cutting the budget deficit to 3% of gross domestic product (GDP) by 2028, the last year of Trump's second term; boosting GDP growth to 3% through deregulation and other pro-growth policies; and increasing U.S. energy production to the equivalent of an additional 3 million barrels of oil per day. His 3-3-3 plan was inspired by the late Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who adopted a "three arrows" plan that featured aggressive monetary policy along with fiscal stimulus and structural reforms aimed at lifting Japan's economy from stagnation and persistent deflation. "It would be 3% real economic growth – how do you get that? Through deregulation, more U.S. energy production, slaying inflation and forward guidance on confidence for people to make investments so that the private sector can take over from this bloated government spending," Bessent said.

[Hidden Content] From the article: A law enforcement association made up of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) employees is backing President-elect Donald Trump’s choices to head his immigration team next year as it seeks to launch an ambitious mass deportation plan -- with the group saying ICE agents and officers are "fired up." In a statement obtained by Fox News Digital, the Executive Board of the National ICE Officers Association said it offers its "strong support" for the appointment of former acting ICE Director Thomas Homan as border czar, and the nomination of South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem to lead the Department of Homeland Security. "Former Director Homan is one of us and knows exactly what it takes to do the job and make our communities safe," the statement said. The group is a newly established law enforcement association for members of ICE who serve in the agency's Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) branch. It was established this year and is in the process of seeking to become the exclusive union for the agency. The group similarly praised the selection of Noem as the Department of Homeland Security nominee. "As one of America’s toughest governors and someone who has kept her citizens safe, we have complete and total confidence that Gov. Noem will bring about the changes we desperately need to do our jobs and protect the American people," the group says.

I thought Trump was getting his cheeks clapped by Harris BEFORE going to prison...I guess he didn't get that memo.

Straight out of the democrat handbook, fabricate false charges against your opponent and see what sticks.

lol, snowflakes

Agree 100% with the bold. Also agree that there have been innocent folks put to death and have served lengthy sentences. I think that is happening less and less with DNA evidence. I, personally, have no problem with the death penalty but understand those that do, but to equate the killing of an innocent unborn with a convicted murderer is simply wrong, as has been done here. There is justified killing, but never justified murder.

So no abortion, even in cases of incest or rape?

Andrew Bailey is being floated as a possible...democrats won't like that one either, probably already manufacturing charges.

We knew that was coming, good deal. Too bad folks can't get to the point where decisions like this are more important than likeability.

Nothing hypocritical at all about that opinion.

Now that’s a scary thought, making decisions based on how members of the bar poll… Wait a minute, that’s Congress. 😁

As in the fight will get intense, not violent.

Not sure you can so easily name whose qualified for the job, it depends on the administration. For instance: Trump is fixing to meet some serious resistance from sanctuary cities, it's already started, and there will need to be someone in this role that is fearless and willing to get as bloody as necessary to oppose these unlawful, but very powerful cities, a bulldog is required. Gaetz, like him or not, fits that role, and I don't think Trump is too worried about pleasing the party, just start producing results, win the people over and the politicians have to come, we saw it under Reagan. It's fixing to get very interesting.

Always makes you wonder when this comes out only when an appointment like this is made, no one seemed to care before and no charges were filed, seems we've seen this before. My only question for Hegseth was we are expecting military leaders at the highest level to look to him as their boss, not sure that would go well.

Oh, it works, there are plenty of folks that are willing to give in to democrat smear tactics with no credible evidence.

lol, just made similar post...great minds 😎

If a portion of what is in the news was true don't you think they would have charged him? I'm tired of seeing weak Republicans back down simply because the democrats come up with trumped up charges. They have done it with Kavanaugh, Barrett, Gaetz, Thomas and even Trump himself, the list is long. The democrats (and some Republicans) are scared of Gaetz because they know he'll be a bulldog in this position, which is what we'll need with some of the difficult decisions the Trump administration will likely be making, don't want them having any say in the decision. And before you bring up Republicans don't like him either, don't forget they don't like Trump. The dislike for Gaetz stems from his unrelenting effort to remove a poor speaker and bring in a good one, the McCarthy crowd is still ticked.

On the conservative side, it’s called doing what you think is best for your country, it’s only butt kissing in your crowd.
