President Trump said 'if', which would need to have happened 20-40 years ago.

We have been stuck in the middle east, long before Trump. The only way to get unstuck means destroying whomever makes it hard for us to pull out the way we want to. Destroying Iran's ambitions is now the practical option, just like in Venezuela and possibly soon in Cuba. If you can't make a deal with us, you get destroyed by us--the alternative would be staying hostage to inaction, like Carter, or prolonging the problem, like Bush.

In a conversation with Lothrop Stoddard, Minister Joseph Goebbels says Germans do not want war with England, but there are no negotiations working at this time, so a conflict is only inevitable and must be taken care of swiftly. Sometimes that is the only option left after diplomacy.

Iran was warned multiple times, yet continued to mock. Then confusedly attacked its own fellow Muslims when consequences came.

As I mentioned last year, President Trump cares about deals. Ideology is secondary. He went from threatening to bomb North Korea, to being the first President to meet Kim Jung Un and enter his country, since Kim was smart enough to negotiate. Iran on the other hand, in a very islamic way, decided to be loud, stubborn, support BLM and Hezbollah and other terrorism, when they could have built a relationship with Trump and kept their theocracy.

2017. President Donald Trump’s warning Tuesday that North Korea “will be met with fire and fury” if it continues its saber rattling and worrying Japan. Threatens to kill Kim Jung Un with 'a big bomb'.

2018-2019, Kim and Trump meet more than once. The DMZ is denuclearized, Trump defends Kim as a nice guy. Maybe Khamenei should have been smarter.

I understand the sentiment, and agree, but I don't believe Americans can operate in 10, 20, 50 year plans until we learn to appreciate 4 year possibilities. Right now the understanding of government and law is very low on this side, which bodes ill for the Right sustaining power. While Trump is establishing a framework of agreements (287g expansion, Shield of the Americas, Board of Peace, etc) to address the longevity of MAGA, having a regime to inherit it is still another term or two down the line in my opinion.

In agreement with recent Department of Transportation rule restrictions to keep illegals and noncitizens out of trucks, South Dakota has signed into law higher English proficiency requirements and a mandate to verify driver citizenship.

A city commission voted 4-1 to let a partner of ICE open a detention facility with a capacity of over 1,000 detainees. This may become a functional ICE camp within months or even days; a positive use of local government influence.

Democrats were celebrating the closure of a detention center in El Paso, Texas; ICE says the center will stay open and get bigger & better thanks to a new contract.

Abdul Hadi Murshid and Muhammad Salman Nasir are facing immigration charges for facilitating replacement through H-1B, EB-2 and EB-3 visas, using false jobs and fraudulent information to maintain the scam for migrants from Pakistan, Egypt, India, Nepal, and UK.

We have now reached over 1,500 police agreements signed with ICE to support or participate in mass deportations, 1000%+ higher than we started with in 2024-2025.

Iryna's law is making an impact in North Carolina, where Iryna Zartuska was killed by a repeat offender black criminal in a city under Democrat control. Iryna's Law forces judicial officals to provide specific reasoning for conditions of release and restricts the ability for charged, convicted or ex-cons to walk away from detention.

This may lead to an increase of criminals kept in jail or sent to prison without any option of easy bail or early release.

DHS confirms they are conducting a large scale purchase and development of new spaces to detain and deport migrants at greater volumes than previously possible.

Border Wall construction continues, this photo showing recent adds in Arizona.

The U.S. government under Trump and an American-Swiss Insurance titan are forming a partnership for a $20 billion reinsurancing plan to make the Strait of Hormuz viable for commercial shipping around and through the Gulf.

Iran has hit Japanese ships today.

The number of migrants held in ICE detention on any given day grew 58% between 2025 and 2026; the number of people in America locked up just for immigration reasons increased 32% since last year, and the number of facilities holding people for ICE grew by 65%.

[A big segment of state prisons, local jails and federal prisons includes migrants or descendants of migrants who are not in immigration detention facilities.]

President Trump has made immigration enforcement a serious law enforcement wing of the United State government.

New Press Release by the DOJ says the Trump Admin since January 20, 2025 has cut down the immigration court backlog by over 380,000 cases, most of which end in removal. 42 new judges are being brought aboard to accelerate the effort.

Local government with patriots in it vs local government with liberals in it. Every piece of power counts eventually.
