Masked men break driver's window, shoot up car with people in it - San Bernardino. Oh, wait, it's ICE. - https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-08-16/federal-agents-fire-shots-during-operation-san-bernardino

Oh. Speaking of bad news, there's tuberculosis going around at ICE concentration camps. Not precisely new news, but it's apparently worse than several months ago. Bad enough, but if it's the drug-resistant kind... either variety is contagious in close quarters. Like when tents contain 200-300 prisoners. Guards/personnel can take it home with them.  Just what we need, another epidemic while RFK, JR., is dismantling the public health service.

Trump orders states to do what he tells them to do regarding discontinuing mail-in voting ballots, after Putin agrees.  SAY WHAT?  https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-pledges-limit-mail-in-voting-putin-1235410408/

Yeah, no. The Feds do not have authority on this. -  https://ballotpedia.org/Who_runs_elections_in_the_United_States%3F_(2024)

If you would not have traveled to Germany on holiday in 1935 you might want to reconsider visiting the USA right now.

If you wouldn't have traveled to view the Olympics in 1936, you might consider not traveling to view the Olympics in 2028.

Same problem, really.

FDA warns public not to eat possibly radioactive shrimp sold at Walmart - https://abcnews.go.com/US/fda-warns-public-eat-possibly-radioactive-shrimp-sold/story?id=124780934 And a confirmed contamination case - https://www.wsbtv.com/news/trending/fda-warning-do-not-eat-walmart-indonesian-shrimp-one-sample-tested-radioactive-contamination/N2Z3LL4JSFAPZEQCGBWFLERCMU/

Sigh.  Cesium-137. This beats the radioactive wasps at the contaminated nuke site.

I sent this info to my Boomer relative yesterday.  His response was "well, it won't bother me - I don't eat shrimp"  rather than "holy hell, there's Cesium 137 (the extremely toxic byproduct of nuclear fission) in the food chain?!?!?! "

Ok, I can see why "the kids" are not real thrilled with the last of the Boomers, these days.  ::)   ::)

Also also not an accident: there's some scuttlebutt that the US is preparing incursions into Mexico, supposedly to fight drug cartels.

The night-time armor movements  by train from NorCal to SoCal would support that, although I've also seen massive cross-country trains full of military equipment in years gone by, out in the middle of nowhere, when we weren't gearing up to do anything to anyone, really. But something doesn't smell right here. 

If they go through the San Ysidro (San Diego) border, it'll be the Arellano-Felix Cartel. Nasty souls, but they don't control a huge part of Mexico. It would be flashy for Trump to pull something off there. Same with the Juarez (across the river from El Paso, TX) Cartel. But both are in heavily populated areas.

The Sinaloa Cartel (and allies) has tentacles everywhere and would be a great target, but, although they are on the coast they are a long way south of the border. I don't think even Trump is stupid enough to invade that far into the country, unless they go by sea. Which is never out of the question, really. Same with the Los Zetas. Might be easier to hit them, as they are right across the Rio Grande from Texas, not a heavily populated area. But they control a lot of ground.  My guess is, if they do it, it'd be  the A-F or the Juarez Cartels if they do a quick-strike, targeted attack. Otherwise they'll rumble across the Texas border - less civilians in the way.

I'm no fan of the Cartels, but invading another country to deal with them (or fabricating an invitation from the leaders of another country to do it - wanna bet?) is way, way out of bounds here.

Oh yeah -

So this official was caught tampering with voting machines in Colorado. Tried, sentenced to jail. Guess what?

Trump administration reviewing all 55M people with US visas for potential deportable violations -  https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/trump-administration-reviewing-55m-people-190214669.html

They've been deporting poor brown migrants for traffic violations, so....


And


Trump administration expands ‘good moral character’ requirement to become naturalized citizen [without explaining the new terms] -  https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/20/politics/citizenship-naturalization-trump-requirements     "On Tuesday, USCIS announced that type of vetting will expand to seek out “anti-American” attitudes in those seeking immigration-related benefits such as the right to live or work in the US."

Well shucky darns, if it isn't shades of Joe McCarthy again.


And


Judge says former Trump lawyer Alina Habba has been unlawfully serving as US attorney in NJ. [This is the one NJ refused to reappoint, and picked someone else. DOJ in DC fired the NJ pick and re-installed Habba (Trump's minion). Now any cases prosecuted while she held office (the second time) may be invalid.] - https://abc13.com/post/judge-says-former-trump-lawyer-alina-habba-has-been-unlawfully-serving-us-attorney-new-jersey/17607565/
