US News August, 2025 - The Authoritarian State? ICE, Immigration, and Political Narratives

August 28, 2025
Edited Authoritarian ICE Commentary

The authoritarian state? ICE and politics, and the stats vs. opinions. Everyone on the left is up in arms, but look at the numbers, and why securing the border is the best remedy. Fact-checking anyone. If you research all the good-doers and the need for help , why not hire an in-house lawyer to work the VISA department and an in-house teacher to have them learn English? You can always use the government spending on illegals , as we are left with the impression that the illegals are needed in the workforce. Obviously, too many questions, or the lawyers prefer billing individual hours versus in-house counsel, and as a democracy, why not have it on the ballot to increase the numbers of VISAs issued versus open borders? Perhaps because someone may call this agriculture ?

Officials last week dismantled a sprawling illegal marijuana cultivation site hidden deep inside Sequoia National Park, hauling out thousands of plants and nearly a ton of toxic debris that had scarred the wilderness. Activist judges do the rest to keep the status quo and Democrats happy, still believing immigrants help them restore power. Perhaps try real politics and LEP —are we sure all our students are proficient in English , but money does not solve that problem? So, I take it all in all, the media makes us believe the popular opinion is more immigration, and Trump is the problem, from concentration camp (Alligator Alcatraz, unlivable conditions). Well, the husband from Maryland —everything has two sides, unless you belong to the Democratic Party , turning over the swamp in the hope another swamp creature may emerge. What an opportunity for dialogue, but Newsom and Pritzker —what results support their action? As the elites in gated communities, and local elections are won by out-of-state money, it is all democratic and in the interest of the people.

National Democratic groups like the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee invested resources into the race and were quick to trumpet the results. The Democratic National Committee hosted phone and text banks in cooperation with the Iowa Democratic Party to turn voters out to support Drey.

"Iowans are seeing Republicans for who they are: self-serving liars who will throw their constituents under the bus to rubber stamp Donald Trump's disastrous agenda — and they're ready for change," DNC Chair Ken Martin said in a statement.

But perhaps the theme and tone come from the top, and it is perhaps rhetorical delivery, but it worked for Biden. Never underestimate rhetorical skills—DEI and social are the words resonating with the base, and the machine will do the rest.

The Democratic Party Shutdown Strategy: We've got ANTIFA and Weathermen in Congress, and a shutdown to please the 5%—is that a winning strategy? Perhaps a clear indication that the Democratic Party no longer exists. It is a Kimmel–Colbert–Springsteen sound-setting orchestra, with tunes from Rosie, Joy Reid, The View and Psaki, and MSNBC and other leftist commentators. Schumer and Jeffries are no longer relevant; the squad rule is on. Thank you, Bernie and Soros, but the shutdown will hopefully silence all government waste, a shutdown DOGE? If we miss you, we let you know, but for now, it is the Republicans in favor 70:30. Here's an explainer: fight, fight, fight against Trump—the only reasoning the Democrats offer these days. We need to elect politicians, not litigators and Soros activists. Axios has reported throughout the year how Hill Democrats have been besieged by an increasingly angry base demanding that they " fight harder " and "do something" about Trump. – In February, shortly after President Trump's inauguration, it was voters blowing up Democrats' phone lines with demands to "fight back" against DOGE. – In March, it was angry crowds gathered at town halls to chew Democrats out for purportedly not doing enough to resist Trump, which some lawmakers compared to the rise of the Tea Party. – By July, Democratic lawmakers were expressing concerns about their base demanding they put themselves in harm's way to draw attention to the administration's use of physical force. But it looks like the Democrats are united, with presidential candidates proposing and supporting the radical stance. Just wonder: Gavin Newsom urged Democrats to stand firm amid the government shutdown Friday, saying, "You lose leverage, you lose this country." ANTIFA leverage? The shutdown —essential and non-essential—or why are there government non-essential functions? Are the SPLC (no leftists), ACLU, ANTIFA , and the Redneck Revolt all part of non-essential feeding grounds? And what about academia ? Or are we at the start of a John Brown revolution, with unidentified actors/founders ? Portland, Oregon: Portland Oregon —why is ICE and the Trump administration so focused on Portland? It looks like an Eldorado to live in the state and city , but also a hotspot of the rebellion, because the elite rulers use it to provide what? A one-party state for many years . Oregon hasn't always had a lack of affordable housing, costly and poor-performing public schools, high taxes and heavy regulations on businesses, rampant drug addiction and homeless campers everywhere. Whom do you blame for all of this? Perhaps because people move there to live a hippy life—I mean a happy life—or the political mix. The people in rural areas don't care if the cities get waxed by anti-fascists. A 2008 analysis by political statistician Nate Silver on states' political ideology noted that the state's conservatives were the most conservative of any state (more so than Utah or Tennessee) and that the state's liberals were more liberal than any state (more so than Vermont or D.C.). For now, a Trump judge ruled in favor of ANTIFA . Let the demolition go on—happy winter. 'Justice has been served': Gov. Tina Kotek, others praise judge's ruling blocking troops to Portland. FBI Political Affiliations: Is the FBI politically Republican-charged? There is some social media claim that since the 1950s, no Democrat was leading the FBI. If you are counting James Comey, Robert Mueller, and Christopher Wray as Republicans, you perhaps need to note there is a litany of Trump haters in the Republican Party. But for good measure, it is called the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and nominations are approved by Congress and controlled by the AG and the US intelligence committee. Wonder why this is a question when Trump is president? Looks to me, with 90% lawyers on committees, like a straightforward legal matter. And shifting priorities —left and right have extreme activism . It is just a question of who you ask, so why not check them both accurately? But mental sickness is not part of an ideology—unless some publishers are politically biased.
