It amazes me that we're funding ICE with more money than the Russian military, which is still in a war with the Ukraine, and many people see nothing wrong with this picture.bearister said:
ICE's $175 billion windfall: Trump's mass deportation force set to receive military-level funding - Salon.com
https://www.salon.com/2025/07/03/ices-175-billion-windfall-trumps-mass-deportation-force-set-to-receive-military-level-funding/
"President Donald Trump's budget, which passed the Senate Tuesday, allocated some $175 billion towards his mass deportation campaign, more money than almost any country spends on its military, and many times the estimated yearly cost it would take to end world hunger…..
The $175 billion deportation budget is larger than the military budget for any country other than the United States and China, surpassing the Russian military budget by nearly $30 billion……
The budget for ICE's enforcement will likely be allocated in large part to hiring new ICE agents, the often-masked agents who abduct people from American streets and courthouses. The new $30 billion ICE budget, more than three times the previous budget, would provide for the hiring of some 10,000 ICE agents, who would receive a $10,000 bonus, per the White House. For comparison, the FBI's budget in fiscal year 2025 was just $11 billion."
Ladies and Gentleman, meet the Praetorian Guard (……but only on their days off, naturally).
Wake up people!
Who do you think will be the next target once they run out of illegal immigrants and people that look like they could be illegal immigrants? The rest of the American people will be under the watchful eyes next.
Part of that funding likely to extend the border Wall.

I turned this on while working in the yard. Children of dictators interviews - long after.
The first one is on idi Amin. Didn't capture my attention too much.
The second one starts at 50 minutes and is with a daughter of Fidel Castro, who fled in '93. She says some things that really grab my attention.
At first Castro was never claiming to be a communist. Certainly not. But he switched and lies to the population began.
She talks about freedom and ability to own things when she came to the USA.
I'd like to buy some of those cheap solar panels to add to my array. But tariffs. I'd like to have access to the inexpensive Chinese cars with advanced tech. Nope.
There were some concerning things she said that raised my ire with Trump.
Trump used to be a democrat. But he saw a path to power by entering the GOP.
Trump used to believe in abortion. But he switched.
Trump has never been religious. But now he spreads religious propaganda about him being the chosen one.
He's a dangerous man.
People often only see the fist hit them after they are hurting on the floor.

Trump was put here on Earth as a test to see if humans, as a species are wise enough to continue to exist.
So far, no we are not, but, as I mentioned in another thread, the end of the book is still to be written.

"Mass surveillance. Pre-emptive military strikes in the Middle East. Shipping people to domestic and foreign prisons. Citing national security to hide information from the courts. Labeling people as "terrorists" as a political and legal strategy.
Donald Trump became president in part by running against the legacy of George W. Bush, the last Republican in the White House before him. But now Trump is supercharging many of the post-9/11 legal, tactical and political strategies Bush used."

It's time to talk about the President's declining mental faculties.
I gotta say: This stuff is happening more and more with POTUS. Just a startling clip where Trump does not appear to be able to articulate what his tariff plan is without the help of Lutnick, and says literally incomprehensible word salad in response to a straightforward question. https://t.co/ttCYr6qhH3

Department of Homeland Security / BBB
$46.5 billion to complete construction of the border wall.
$14.4 billion for removal transportation.
$12 billion in state reimbursements for states that fought against the Biden administration's open border.
$4.1 billion to hire additional CBP personnel, including 3,000 more customs officers and 3,000 new Border Patrol agents.
$3.2 billion for new technology and $2.7 billion for new cutting-edge border surveillance.
$855 million to expand Customs and Border Protection's vehicle fleet.
The law will also provide ICE with the funding to hire 10,000 new agents, which would allow the rate of deportations to reach as high as 1 million per year. ICE currently has 20,000 law enforcement and support personnel across 400 offices.
The BBB provides ICE with enough detention capacity to maintain an average daily population of 100,000 illegal aliens and secures 80,000 new ICE beds.
The Big Beautiful Bill will also fully fund ICE's 287(g) program, which empowers state and local law enforcement to assist federal immigration officers.
Under the law, ICE and Border Patrol agents will also receive a $10,000 bonus for the next four years.

I'll add an aside about Lutnick's mental faculties. He held a town hall meeting for Department of Commerce employees this morning at 8:15 AM Eastern time. Do you think anybody in the Mountain or Pacific time zones joined the broadcast? Also, I'm told no recording was made of the meeting. Gotta keep any misstatements from being preserved for posterity.sycasey said:

Here's more of Cheeto's WORD SALAD when it comes to the TARIFFS.
"Oh, we've spoken to everybody. We know every it's all done. I told you. I told you we'll make some deals, but for the most part, we're gonna send a letter. We're gonna saying, "Welcome to the United States. If you'd like to participate in the greatest, most successful country ever" I mean, we're doing better than ever. We have I don't think and you're gonna see these numbers soon. We've never had numbers like this. We've never had investment like this.
Uh, we have more than 90. We're gonna have much more than 90. But most of those are gonna be sent a letter. This is gonna be exactly what I sent. Now, we've made a deal with United Kingdom. We've made a deal with China. We've made a deal with we're close to making a deal with India.
Others, we've met with, and we don't think we're gonna be able to make a deal. So, we just send them a letter. "Do you wanna do you wanna play ball? This is what you have to pay."
So, we're as far as I'm concerned, we're done with sending out letters to various countries, telling them how much tariffs they have to pay. Some will maybe adjust a little bit depending if they have a, you know, cause. We're not gonna be unfair about it. And actually, it's a small fraction compared to what we should be getting. We should we could be asking for much more. But for the sake of relationships that we've had with a lot of really good countries, we're doing the way I do it. But we could be getting a lot more. We could ask for a lot more than what we're asking for."

Somebody bought a HUGE amount of USD and shorted BRL (Brazil’s currency) at 1:32 PM.
The 50% tariff announcement came at 4:19 PM, at which point, it looks like the big trader exited his trade instantly.

ART of the DEAL: Trump wants the US to become a net exporter of rare earth minerals and to that end he made a $400 million investment in MP Materials. The deal isn't even closed, but the taxpayers' share of the company is now worth over $1 billion. This is the art of the deal. pic.twitter.com/43q3MlJ5DX
