And so it begins... [View all]

ICE agents storm into our airports to assist the TSA with security. They walk around like the cocks on the block. They hover over the agents as they try to do their jobs. They intimidate the traveling public. They slam women to the floor and handcuff them, in front of their children, all the while yelling profanities.

This is a test. If they can enter our airports and intimidate people, what's to keep them from entering our polling places. This is the beginning and how we react will determine what they do in the future. Republicans pray to their God that the American people do not wake up from this nightmare. Otherwise, there would be hell to pay.

Democrats have offered to fund TSA separately in order to keep the air traffic moving, but Republicans have voted it down several times, at the orders of their leader, Donald J Trump.

There is presently a full-scale attack on our voting system and the Republicans are putting their faith in Donald Trump to save their jobs and careers, by whatever means necessary.

This is where we are on March 24th, 2026.
