Holiday on ICE
What do a French scientist and the British band UK Subs have in common? They were denied entry into the United States for making comments critical of The Leader.
At least they know why. The German foreign ministry said several of its citizens were detained at the border for unspecified reasons and then sent home. Canadians who maintain vacation homes in the US report instances of gun violence and home break-ins.
This terrifying young Brit is Rebecca Burke. After staying with a family in Portland, Oregon, she tried to enter Canada and was told she had the wrong kind of visa. Returning to the US, she was taken into custody and spent the next nineteen days in the Tacoma Northwest detention facility. Eventually she was returned to her family, delivered to the airport "like Hannibal Lecter" (her father's words) in leg chains, waist chains and handcuffs. She plans to create a graphic novel about the ordeal and every American should buy several copies, especially since the proceeds will cover her legal bills and support a charity in Seattle for other women enduring the same treatment.
Yes, there are others, guests of Noem and Homan living on rice, potatoes and beans, sleeping in a large dormitory and enjoying one hour outside out of every 24. They're lounging at the Waldorf compared to Andry (first name only), a gay man who came here legally from Venezuela to escape gang violence. ICE decided that his tattoo identified him as a member of Tren de Agua, one of the gangs, so he was shipped to America's newest gulag, El Salvador, for torture. Of course, he is only one of hundreds. These are the illegal deportations that Judge James Boasberg ordered them to stop. But The Leader is enjoying the sadism and cruelty too much:
I look forward to watching the sick terrorist thugs get 20 year jail sentences for what they are doing to Elon Musk and Tesla. Perhaps they could serve them in the prisons of El Salvador, which have become so recently famous for such lovely conditions!
Whether your crime is disparaging The Leader in a text you forgot to delete, having a tattoo, holding the wrong visa, complaining about the brakes on your Tesla or just being Canadian, you could be in for a world of pain. No wonder some Frenchmen want their statue back.
Here's a candidate for an unplanned Salvadoran vacation: Badlands, an LGBTQ club in Sacramento, has banned patrons from wearing MAGA gear, or any other political clothing. The Log Cabin Republicans are of course outraged. Free speech!
Disney stockholders voted overwhelming to maintain the company's DEI policy. Perhaps they are unaware that the distinction between government and the private sector no longer exists when it comes to the renaissance of Jim Crow.
According to the annual report of the Wellbeing Research Center at Oxford, Finland, Denmark, Iceland and Sweden are the top four countries for happiness again. The US has not been higher than 11th place (2012) and has now dropped to 24th, a new low. Those radical left Scandinavians had better not try to come here!
Adjudicated rapist Conor McGregor had a cordial White House visit with adjudicated rapist Donald Trump this week and has announced that he is a candidate for president of Ireland. They shared anti-immigration views and who knows what else. McGregor is appealing a jury's verdict ordering him to pay $257,000 to a woman he raped in 2018; Trump owes E. Jean Carroll $5 million not counting the defamation award. It must be a gang, like the Tren de Agua. Trump may not be aware that the presidency is a largely ceremonial office. Speaking of which...
Trump says the king has invited the US to become an "associate member" of the British Commonwealth, which he apparently thinks is a Big Deal. "I love King Charles! Sounds good to me!" he burbled. It's not at all clear that membership is in the monarch's gift, as he is supposed to be politically neutral. Nothing is clear anymore. The king is known as a big environmentalist, so maybe they could exchange views on windmill cancer and the efficacy of nuclear weapons against hurricanes. Maybe it's a ploy to get King Stupid to back off his tariffs, until he changes his "mind" again. Maybe the whole thing will be derailed if UK counter-terror police investigating the "unprecedented" fire at Heathrow Airport decide it's the work of Trump's boyfriend Putin. Every day brings fresh surprises.
