After briefly saying over the weekend that ICE would not arrest farm workers, food processing and hotel industry wokers, Trump reversed himself and ICE raids continue. Glenn Foods in Nebraska is now out of business. I suppose this is his reaction to the “No Kings” protests over the weekend. Continued cruelty all across the country, the great majority of immigrants being arrested have no criminal record, just hard working people. Can’t imagine anything more dumb than arresting farm and food workers.
Utah Senator Mike Lee immediately began the conspiracy posts about the political assassinations in Minnesota, somehow the shooter or the victims were Marxist inspired. Wacko. Fortunately the killer has been arrested. He had a hit list of 70.
A man was killed during the “No Kinds” protest in Salt Lake city, supposedly by a “peacekeeping force” at the demonstration. Not sure who they were or why they started shooting. News says someone had at AR-15.
Trump left the G7 meetings early, supposedly because of the Israel-Iran war. I think it might have more to do with the chilly reception to his tariffs he received in Canada and their refusal to allow him to dominate the opening news conference attacking Democrat controlled cities and his anger about the “No Kings” protests. Also back praising Putin.
I’m really of mixed minds about Israel’s attack on Iran, they believe Iran was rushing to build nuclear weapons, maybe so. US-Iran talks were going nowhere, maybe Trump was being used as a shill. The most telling thing for me is that Iran has no need of a nuclear weapons for their own defense. The only likely use is against Israel. Will Trump now join Israel to bomb the deeply underground uranium processing facilities. And of course will Israel overdo it. Question answered this afternoon, Trump demands Iran’s “unconditional surrender”. Always ready to pick and unnecessary fight abd further trash chances of peace in the region. Maybe we should bomb the underground uranium processing, but like the Youthis, give diplomancy a chance first, maybe save a few lives.
In spite of the barbaric attack by Hamas on Israel on Oct. 7 last year, 1200 dead, I can’t comprehend what has happened in Gaza, over 50,000 dead, even in justified retaliation, the proportionality of it makes Israel the monster.
A president should de-escalate conflict within the County, and the world where possible, and try to unify the country. Trump is creating and amplifying conflict on the nations’ streets.

Check out also the Karoline Leavitt–Harrison Ford debate. Some months ago and Leavitt is now Trump’s main spokesperson.
