Of Vehicles That Officers Can't Use
Posted By: J. Arthur Brown, 3/8/2026 1:27:09 PM
A former Trump administration official wasted millions of taxpayer dollars given to Immigration and Customs Enforcement to purchase thousands of employee vehicles that the agency cannot use to arrest illegal immigrants, according to sources. (snip) "ICE has never had marked vehicles," the first person familiar with the purchases said in a phone call. "In talking to people, they're like, 'We don't use these, we can't.'" The saga (snip) speaks to the different ways political appointees at the department have tried to approach operations versus how career law enforcement officials have historically done so.

After Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhardt signed off on the Biden administration's illegal raid on Mar-a-Lago, conservatives flagged the former prosecutor's work for Jeffrey Epstein. Reinhardt had begun setting up hi legal practice while the Epstein plea deal was being negotiated and he went to work for Epstein the day after he left the U.S. Attorney's office and approximately half a year after the dubious federal plea deal had been handed to Epstein. (snip) The defenses used to cover for Reinhardt no longer hold up in the wake of the Epstein files. (snip) Members of Congress should be given the opportunity to question Judge Reinhardt and vote to remove him.
During last week's contentious hearing of the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, Delaware Sen. Chris Coons asked then-Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, with great concern, "Will you rule out the deployment of ICE or CBP officers to polling places this November?" The Secretary's answer was sharp and to the point: "Do you plan on illegals voting in our elections?" Democrats are saying the quiet part out loud. The people who have told us for years that illegal aliens never vote, and that voter fraud doesn't exist, are terrified of anyone actually checking to see if that is true.

Though Democrats claim that Republicans are "protecting the powerful" by allegedly suppressing the release of the Epstein files, political contribution records show that Democrats have received tens of millions in campaign contributions from a major Epstein-files figure. That figure is none other than Microsoft founder Bill Gates. On Thursday, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform asked Gates to testify over his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. (snip) Gates has donated millions through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and its partner nonprofit servicing group, Arabella Advisors, to major Democrat politicians and committees,
The BBC is facing backlash after BBC Persian mistranslated comments made by U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth during a broadcast. In the original speech, Hegseth made clear that U.S. military operations in Iran are aimed at Iran's regime rather than its citizens, stating, "It turns out the regime that chanted 'Death to America and death to Israel' was gifted death from America and death from Israel. (snip)" However BBC Persian translated this as "It turns out the people who chanted 'Death to America and death to Israel was gifted death from America and death from Israel," making it look as though the Iranian people (snip) are being targeted (snip)
In yet another decision that has ignited widespread fury among victim's rights activists and law enforcement, the California Board of Parole Hearings has granted early release to Roberto Detrinidad, a convicted home invasion rapist who described his heinous crime as his "Super Bowl of Crime." Detrinidad, an HIV-positive felon sentenced to life in prison for breaking into a San Francisco woman's apartment and sodmizing her while she slept, will walk free from San Quentin State Prison on May 5. 2026 -- unless Governor Gavin Newsom intervenes. The shocking parole after only 11 years exemplifies the dangerous consequences of Newsom's criminal justice reforms (snip)

(snip) The convoy reportedly consisted of two armoured vehicles transporting about $40 million, 3 million Euros, and 9 kilograms of gold from Austria to Ukraine. (snip) Hungarian officials have launched a criminal investigation on suspicion of money laundering. (snip) "If this is truly a transaction between banks, why was it not carried out by transfer? Why move such enormous sums in cash through our country?"
A long-time U.S. Supreme Court reporter for the New York Times, Linda Greenhouse, recently wrote a surprisingly candid description of how U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts added "gratuitous" language into his opinion on the recent tariff case, personally criticizing the president on record. Greenhouse conveniently frames the justice's indulgence, however, as a legitimate "warning" to both the president and "the waiting world." She states that Roberts "is losing patience with Trump." Apparently, the chief justice is thought to be entitled to act as a shadow president.
Texas Democrat James Talarico once called on the federal government to hire abortionists to kill babies. The leftist Senate hopeful wanted Joe Biden to spend taxpayer dollars to hire abortionists as employees and open abortion businesses on federal property -- including in every courthouse and national park -- to expand the killing of unborn babies across the nation. In a June 24, 2022, letter to Biden, then-state representative Talarico urged "extraordinary steps" to counter pro-life protections enacted after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Among his specific demands were "leasing federal property to abortion clinics" (snip) and "hiring abortion providers as federal employees" (snip)
President Donald Trump wants to see the SAVE America Act, which would require proof of citizenship to register to vote, on his desk before he makes an endorsement in the Texas Senate race. Trump delivered his message to Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) and Sen, John Cornyn (R-TX) on Friday in an interview with CNN's Dana Bash. (snip) As Trump has not made an endorsement and still seems to be weighing the decision, all eyes turn to Cornyn and Senate GOP leadership to see whether they take action on the SAVE America Act, which has robust bipartisan support among registered voters.

On this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) said President Donald Trump had not made the case for the military action in Iran.
Warner said, “Americans are paying $122 million a day extra in gas coming right out of their pockets, that, combined with the declining job numbers, that combined with the stock market crashing, going into this war without I don’t feel like the appropriate preparation or having made the case the American public, I think we’ve got a lot of explaining to do. We don’t know how long Iran will last. The notion and I heard the general earlier, I think

Rev. Jesse Jackson’s son ripped former Presidents Joe Biden, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton for using the late civil rights icon’s memorial service to take shots at President Trump.
Jesse Jackson Jr. said the grandstanding Democrats didn’t really know his father, after they used their eulogies to bash the president, his policies, and his vision for America during Friday’s star-studded send-off.
“Yesterday, I listened for several hours to three United States presidents who do not know Jesse Jackson,” the grieving son said Saturday during a private memorial service at Rainbow Push Coalition headquarters in Chicago.He maintained a tense relationship with the political order, not because the presidents were white or black,
Iran sent out a possible “operational trigger” to activate “sleeper assets” abroad after the war with America and Israel began, according to an encrypted message intercepted by the US.
The coded signal was sent out following the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Feb. 28, with the message appearing to hold instructions for “covert operatives or sleeper assets,” ABC News reported, citing a federal alert sent to law enforcement agencies.
The message could “be intended to activate or provide instructions to prepositioned sleeper assets operating outside the originating country,” the alert warned.
Back in February, the U.K. said dogs were an obstacle to its latest diversity scheme, namely turning the "too white" English countryside into a more "diverse" (read: Islamic) place to live. Not long after, a Muslim in New York said she was glad the city was "coming to Islam" when it came to dogs.
Islam believes dogs are filthy and they're haram in many places, of course. But people in the West love their dogs, and the pet industry in the U.K. makes over £10 billion. In the U.S., that figure is $157 billion for 2025. Most of that is driven by dog ownership, so of course the politicians can't come
It's saddening what is becoming of the once-Great Britain. While American and Israeli forces are resolving a 47-year-old problem by the suitable application of high explosives, while the United States literally flew into a hostile, totalitarian South American regime in the middle of the night and nabbed their thug-dictator who was wanted by the American justice system, the British Army is debating whether soldiers - male soldiers, mind you - should be allowed to style their hair, and to wear makeup and fingernail polish. No, this isn't a Monty Python sketch. It's real.

A Canadian parliament debates legislation to criminalize supposed hate speech, comments against "gender ideology" in the curriculum have already cost a former British Columbia school board member the equivalent of more than half a million U.S. dollars.
A nurse who got kicked out of her own union for gender-critical views said the verdict against ex-Chilliwack Board of Education trustee Barry Neufeld shows "I do not have a snowball’s chance in hell" before the same quasi-judicial body.
The British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal ordered Neufeld to pay $750,000 Canadian to all LGBTQ-identified members of the Chilliwack Teachers’ Association for "injury to their dignity, feelings, and self-respect," citing discrimination in employment, hate speech

Arizona’s largest county as voting probe expands 18 replies
The FBI is expanding its criminal probe into suspected election irregularities, secretly obtaining a large tranche of voting records from Arizona’s largest county with a recent grand jury subpoena, multiple people familiar with the probe told Just the News.
The sources, who spoke only on condition of anonymity because of the secrecy of the grand jury probe, said FBI agents are receiving gigabytes of electronic election data from Maricopa County, about a month after the bureau first disclosed an investigation into election irregularities by raiding a warehouse near Atlanta and seizing ballots from the 2020 election conducted in Fulton County, Georgia’s largest metropolis.
The Liberal Democrats want Sir Keir Starmer to prevent the King visiting the United States next month over Donald Trump's criticism of the British response on Iran.
The monarch and Queen Camilla are reported to be planning to meet the US president in a state visit at the end of April.
But Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey said the visit should not go ahead, as it would hand a "huge diplomatic coup" to Trump during US-Israeli strikes on Iran. Downing Street has declined to comment, telling reporters on Monday that a visit is yet to be confirmed.
Defund The U.N.

The United Nations is having a budget crisis. It might have to lay off part of its staff. No one should be brokenhearted over this. It should instead be cause for celebration. The U.N. is nothing more than a parasite leeching off the American taxpayer while propping up dictators, terrorists, and every left-wing crackpot scheme ever dreamed up. It should be dissolved.
Earlier this year, U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres “sent a dramatic letter to” member states to warn them “about the ‘imminent financial collapse'” of the organization, says the Global Policy Forum of Europe. “The letter
Political commentator Meghan McCain has built a career that began with a powerful advantage: her last name. The daughter of late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), stepped into the national political conversation for decades because of her father's legacy.
Meghan McCain never hid that connection, and she's defended her father's record with fierce loyalty since he died in 2018.
Despite my thoughts about Meghan, her loyalty deserves respect; a daughter defending her father is hardly controversial, while she protects what she believes was an honorable legacy tied to her father's military service and Senate career.
McCain, however, found his political decisions drifted away from conservative principles
In yet another blatant betrayal of President Donald Trump and the America First agenda, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has once again shown his true RINO colors by flatly refusing to make any changes to Senate rules that would allow the critical SAVE America Act to pass.
This comes as Trump ramps up pressure on the GOP establishment to secure our elections before the midterms, but Thune is more interested in protecting the swamp than fighting for the American people.
“Yeah, that’s not going to happen,” Thune said on Monday when pressed by ABC News about altering the Senate’s 60-vote threshold to advance legislation.
War Secretary Pete Hegseth vowed he and President Trump will do whatever it takes to topple the Iranian regime – and didn’t rule out sending US ground troops into Tehran as Operation Epic Fury rages on.
“We’re willing to go as far as we need in order to be successful,” Hegseth told CBS News’s Major Garrett during a “60 Minutes” sit-down interview that aired Sunday night.
“We reserve the right. We would be completely unwise if we did not reserve the right to take any particular option, whether it included boots on the ground or not boots on the ground.”
Comments:
The term "malicious compliance" was adopted soon after President Trump's second inauguration to describe actions by Biden holdovers to sabotage Trump initiatives by "implementing" them in ways that were counterproductive or objectionable. Sending ICE agents into neighborhoods to make arrests in vehicles that announced their presence in large block letters was -- like requiring ICE officers to wear masks reminiscent of the Clinton Administration's Elian Gonzalez fiasco -- an obvious example of malicious compliance. The problem here was likely DHS's middle managers (notoriously anti-Trump) whose advice was relied on in making the decision, not the hapless political appointee.
