Tom Homan saying he would gladly throw Denver Mayor Mike Johnston in jail for defying Trump's deportation operation
[X]


… Homan: Me and the Denver mayor agree on one thing. He's willing to go to jail. I'm willing to put him in jail.

Hunt: Oooof. Ummmm.

#1  A major omission in this report. All 4 winners of Nevada congressional seats were incumbents. That is all the explanation necessary.

#2  Three of them are "Vegas" a/k/a LA East. One is not.

#3  In California votes are still being counted for House of Representives. One Republican has seen his big lead wiped out by a newly found bunch of ballots and he has conceded, all for the Democrat and the other Republican is seeing his lead diminish due to the same type of newly found ballots. It looks like the Republican house majority will be slimmer than initially reported.

#4  The cheat is still on, but they can only do it in close races where Dems control the apparatus. Ballots are created and matched to voter records that were not used. The ERIC system which is Dem controlled speeds to process some. Fake voter files are useful, but those can only close a certain amount of a gap. The slow roll is crucial as the documentation has to be shared throughout the process. You can’t have an absentee ballot returned where one was never requested etc. it is all being done in jurisdictions where the Dems have all the levers, absentee ballots are being exploited, and unsolicited absentee ballots are mailed.

Drop the case or 4 years in Jail !!!


… have promised to lock her up if she persists in her illegal lawfare.

Newly-nominated U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer wrote Letitia, saying, “In the aftermath of his historic election victory, President Trump has called for our Nation’s partisan strife to end. This call for unity extends to the legal onslaught against him and his family that permeated the most recent election cycle.”
Already running, though he won’t hit the ground until January 20. Impressive.
"I strongly believe that it is necessary for the health of our Republic for the strife and lawfare to end. You now have the singular opportunity to help cure this division."

Letitia James built her entire political career around the idea of "getting Trump," so I doubt she'll dismiss it, but this is an olive branch from the Trump team. Their message should not be mistaken as begging. They are giving her a choice to either end it here or get exposed & locked up in the next four years.

#1 
She'll milk it for the maximum political benefit effect. As all indications are, she is running for NY Governor.

At the least it worth a $M legal, or board position with some Leftest Political Interest Group

#2  Unless she is jailed, the Lawfare will continue.

While people freeze
Follow up to this story from yesterday.
[BizPacReview] FEMA RV trailers sit EMPTY while homeless NC hurricane victims face snow and freezing temps: report

As North Carolina Hurricane Helene victims continue to struggle, FEMA reportedly refuses to deploy empty RV trailers to help them.

According to an unnamed N.C. lawmaker, FEMA has multiple empty RV trailers sitting in the N.C. town of Hickory — trailers that critics say could be used to provide housing to those who’ve lost their homes.

“Don’t use my name, but a constituent called me yesterday asking about all the FEMA housing units and trailers that are staged in Hickory,” the lawmaker wrote in a private message to Cassie Clark, an N.C. influencer.

“They’ve been there for a few weeks. I asked FEMA what they were and confirmed they indeed are housing units staged for inspection waiting to be sent out to ‘qualifying counties.’ I asked for a timeline. Attached is the response. Very disappointing,” the lawmaker added.

The attached response from FEMA read as follows: “At the moment not specific time frame, this would be very depending on each individual survivor that are in the FEMA IA program and also in the process with the counties/cities to look for areas to stage them for the survivors.”
Very Kamalian
According to Matt Van Swol, a reporter and photographer, a non-profit by the name of EmergencyRV has been doing FEMA’s job by providing affected families with an RV if and when possible.

The non-profit did at one point try begging FEMA for access to their empty trailers but were denied.

Speaking later on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle,” Swol called for FEMA to just hand over the RVs and deal with the paperwork later.

“It’s absolutely horrific,” he said of the crisis in N.C. “I mean, there should be zero American citizens living in tents in North Carolina right now. There are plenty of FEMA trailers available for these citizens. They’re sitting maybe 15 miles away.”

“They’re nice and heated, and they’re occupied by FEMA workers. So I put out a post saying that maybe you should get out of those and hand them to the people [who need them] because it’s getting cold outside. So why not just hand them over and deal with the paperwork later?” he added.
They’re bureaucrats. They would self-destruct if they tried to do something without filling out the proper paperwork and getting signatures from everyone in the organization hierarchy.
When confronted by Fox News, a FEMA spokesperson handed over a fact sheet highlighting all that the agency has supposedly done for the Hurricane Helene survivors in North Carolina.

With this fact sheet in mind, host Laura Ingraham asked Swol, “Could it be that people are choosing as the inclement weather is coming to live in these tents?”

Swol’s wife then cut in to answer that question.

“No, they’re basically given a choice,” she said. “We were given a choice. A few days after we got out of Asheville and came back, we got a letter from FEMA with a voucher to a hotel in Tennessee, far away from everyone who needed us here. We came back. We decided to stay.”

“We got denied twice from FEMA, appealed, ended up having to have a generator to take care of our neighbors on either side of us. One’s on a CPAP machine. The other one didn’t have electricity of any kind, including cooked plates. Everyone’s circumstances is incredibly different,” she added.

According to a separate report, FEMA isn’t just denying people access to its trailers — it’s also denying them access to tiny homes built by volunteers.

Meanwhile, the federal government is now claiming it doesn’t have any more money to hand over to Hurricane Helene survivors.
Another one to add to the list. It’s time to shut down FEMA — they’ve become dangerously counterproductive instead of helpful.

To slap & kick WNC saviors harder.
The Biden Regime during this process has sent $Billion$ to Ukraine.

#2  Maybe the trailers haven't been fumigated from their former residents yet.

#3  My morning eyes read the headline as 'White People Freeze' ... which is equally correct.

#4  Connect to Volunteer

"alert - warning
Do not self-deploy to disaster areas.

Trusted organizations operating in the affected area know where volunteers are needed. Depending on the disaster and the current phase it is in, volunteers can be extremely helpful to ensure survivors can return to their new normal. By working with an established non-profit organization, the appropriate safety, training and skills can be considered.

Recovery lasts a lot longer than media attention. There will be volunteer needs for many months, often many years, after the disaster. Your help often is needed long after a disaster."

#7  That response is not even bureaucratese. It's like some second grader wrote it. So, apart from being corrupt, we must embrace the power of "and" and realize they are also incompetent.

#9  No Grom. But the degree of illiteracy in that response did surprise me. Now that I look at it again, it doesn't just look like a second grade child but a second grade child for whom English is a second language. They were scraping the bottom of the barrel when they hired that person.

#12  If that's Grammerly, then I still say they're scraping the bottom of the barrel.

#13  Ever since I've used the self-checkout stations at my local chain grocery (kind of a wannabe Whole Foods) there's been a pre-payment nag screen: "Would you like to round up to feed hungry kids? [Yes] [No]." A couple of weeks before the election
I was amazed to read "Would you like to round up for Florida hurricane relief?" A few days post-election it's back to the original... but now I smile as I dismiss it instead of trying to crack the screen.
