re: Illegal from Haiti beats FL woman to death with hammer

In February 2026, U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes (in Washington, D.C.) blocked the Trump administration from terminating Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for roughly 350,000 Haitians.
I wonder if any of our legacy media will cover this story. Will they tell America how this animal got here, and how Trump tried to end his "Temporary Protected Status" and Judge Reyes blocked it. Maybe they could get a comment from Judge Reyes on camera.

Didn't Trump try to revoke the Haitians TPS and get overturned by some judge?

For two straight years we had leftist protestors going nuts over non-existent genocide and war crimes in Gaza. But for Iran’s butchers that slaughter protestors? NOTHING. Why is that? Where are these beacons or moral clarity now?
For 10 years the left has been frothing at the mouth that Russia is evil incarnate and Trump is their puppet. They even constructed an elaborate fake dossier to prove their point, and used it to deny an election outcome and bring impeachment hearings agains the president. Then they supported a catastrophic proxy war against Russia in Ukraine, where the US had zero national interest, and once again accused Trump of being Putin's puppet when he threatened to end US support.
Now, when the US has a legitimate national security interest in a conflict with the radical Islamic regime in Iran, the left has forgotten all that and takes sides with Russia's (and China's) puppet terrorist state. And our most steadfast ally in the entire region has become the new evil overlord that pulls Trump's strings and makes him dance.
The contradictions seem to defy all logic, until you start to wonder who's being manipulated.

Even if axios has a source in the admin who made those remarks, it carries practically zero weight, especially in the context of a war. For all anyone knows, the administration floated those comments to axios intentionally, simply for the IRCG to consider what they're facing. I'm gonna give Decatur a thumbs up for passing along some pro-US propaganda for a change.

Ms Former Congresswoman Greene should be a cautionary tale to everyone who follows politics and takes sides in political matters; never take unserious people seriously, even if their beliefs seem to coincide with yours.
Despite all of the hypothesizing about how far the US will or should carry this campaign, it's worth remembering the original comments from the administration. Trump and others said on multiple occasions that regime change would ultimately be in the hands of the Iranian people, which is obvious. I don't know what tonight's decision will be or what will follow, but I suspect we're getting close to the end of Act 1 (the intensive US military component) of the conflict.

You're debating with people who will disagree with every logical point you've made, but will never acknowledge the costs of doing nothing. They won't admit that their "more of the same" strategy would've resulted in Iran obtaining nuclear weapons. They essentially want the radical terrorist Islamic regime in Iran to have nuclear weapons.

And we have now given them the perfect reason why they should acquire them for deterrence
They were going to continue their efforts to acquire nuclear weapons no matter what we did. From a uranium enrichment perspective, they are apparently close.

Very nice synopsis of the costs of doing nothing, which have been studiously ignored by US legacy media.

I checked out one of Tehran Tuck's videos a while back. He had thousands and thousands of comments that read like 12 yr old girls fawning over some heartthrob boy band. And not a single negative comment to be found.
It felt like what you'd expect from the exit polling if the Iranian people were permitted to hold an Ayatollah "election". I can see why the Tuck is an avid acolyte.

Just my opinion, but Carlson is saying all of that because he's been corrupted, or coerced. At this point he's being used as propaganda by our enemy.

Trump: Master of “Weaponized Uncertainty". While pundits unravel his words like puzzles, the troops, timing, and pressure are telling the real story. Pundits are tying themselves in knots. Allies whispering to each other like they’re trying to decode some grand mystery. Frankly, it’s really not that complicated.
Trump says something wild. Markets twitch. Allies in a panic. Then, twenty-four hours later, he softens it. Or flips it. Or says something that sounds like the opposite. And everyone goes, “See? He doesn’t know what he’s doing.” “He’s getting old.” No. That’s the part you’re still missing. He knows EXACTLY what he’s doing. He’s playing you.
I don't really think the pundits are missing what Trump is doing. It just suits their purposes to say he's crazy (even though everyone still remembers that they ignored 4 years of Biden dementia). But it doesn't matter because his communication tactics have muddied the waters to the point of disabling the US media's pro-Iranian propaganda campaign. Even a true leak gets lost in the torrent. And the Islamic regime has no idea what to believe.

More and more of these fringe wacko "influencers", aka provocateurs, are being exposed. It was never just about advertisement money and clicks, they have always been provocateurs of questionable provenance.

If this guy posted on the Political Talk board, he'd be a libertarian who voted for Trump 3 times.

It was clear what he meant.
After observing that poster for period of several years, I also think it was clear what he meant. Just not what you said. He meant that the US "blew" $300M, with the same negative connotation that word almost always carries when people talk about blowing money; frivolously or wastefully or unnecessarily spent. Which is incorrect for multiple reasons in the context of this rescue.

Then you should say what you mean, because what you said was, "We just blew $300 million bucks to save one guy."

The connotation of "blowing money" is to spend it carelessly or wastefully. That's not what happened.
