Kilmar Garcia the Maryland Father. Democrat claims no evidence he was a gang member.

2018 Custody Suit: Edwin Trejo Ramos sued Jennifer Vasquez Sura, alleging she dated a gang member. Case dismissed due to jurisdiction, no specific gang member named.

2019 Arrest: Garcia arrested with MS-13 ; police claim gang ties, Garcia denies.

Clothing: Wore Bulls hat, hoodie; police link to MS-13, but experts say inconclusive.

Informant: Informant claims Garcia is MS-13 “Chele”; reliability questioned, officer later fired.

Judge’s Ruling: 2019 judge denies bond, cites police report as evidence of MS-13 hip.

DHS Form: DHS claims Garcia’s MS-13 ties, murder probe; no charges, evidence disputed.

Police Validation: County police validate Garcia as MS-13 based on contested 2019 arrest data.

2022 Stop: Tennessee stop raises trafficking suspicion; DHS links to MS-13, no charges filed.

Trump Claims: Trump labels Garcia MS-13, cites 2019 documents, protective order; judges question evidence.

When it comes to Trump a rumour is taken as the gospel truth. For democrats , a conviction or corroborated videos must be produced. Notice how the listed pieces of evidence are disputed by media

Typical Republican. Climbs the ladder and pulls it out from under others.

At least rich addicts like him and Elon can get rescued every time they OD.

56 million is too much to save lives but we’ve paid more than that to find Trump’s golfing in 3 months alone.

They are banking on the fact that a lot of the data for the problems that arise from their cuts won't be known for years.
Democrats should make hey on the juxtaposition of the various costs.

Trump on national TV bullying a reporter for not letting him lie. I don’t know if he thinks everyone is like his group of dementia patients masquerading as voters who believe everything he says. You could see him so upset the reporter would not agree to the lie. He was petulant and visibly about to crash out.

This is what reporters should’ve been doing since he stepped into public life. All the lies he’s told that have hurt and destroyed lives might have been challenged enough that their impact might have been reduced. The media just let him lie and tried to compare him to normal people and that has led to the brainwashing of a whole generation.


The president of the United States of America believes that a journalist’s job is to be “very nice”.

Maeve. This is the complete transcript of the interview Incase full paragraphs ed you because you probably speak English holding your nose

https://abcnews.go.com/US/full-transcript-trumps-exclusive-100-days-broadcast-interview/story?id=121291672

Thus is not an interview to dig out the truth, the position of the president. It is a gotcha campaign interview no different than if it was Kamala Harris questioning Trump using her prosecutorial experience.

Wonder why Trump ever bothers with these journalists.
Terry Morgan says the tattoo in kilmar Garcia was photoshopped. Why didn't he show kilmar photo of his knuckles. He could not because he wants you to believe kilmar Garcia is just a 'Maryland Father '. Few hours ago I'd posted a summary of kilmar proof of gang hip.

2018 Custody Suit: Edwin Trejo Ramos sued Jennifer Vasquez Sura, alleging she dated a gang member. Case dismissed due to jurisdiction, no specific gang member named.

Yet this Terry Morgan guy is pushing for the guy to be brought back, based in a progressive DOJ lawyer (since fired) who said it was a mistake.
The problem being in your position afflicted with TDS is that you believe every lie about Trump . It will cost you nothing to be objective
How you people sleep soundly knowing you believe lies soundly beats me. You guys don't have a conscience, a knack for being truthful , of looking at matters using your head instead of what propaganda lying media wants you to believe.

Trump in one day takes more questions than Joe Biden or Kamala did in 4 years The media was happy to lie to you. Democrats can never go to conservative media anchors like Jessie Watters or Tucker Carlson or Sean Hannity. Yet Trump is always entertaining questions gracefully from enemedia.
Trump summed up the interview this.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: I -- no, I think it's gone way up, and I think we're a respected country again. We were laughed at all over the world. We had -- a president that couldn't walk up a flight of stairs, couldn't walk down a flight of stairs, couldn't walk across a stage without falling. We had a president that was grossly incompetent. You knew it, I knew it, and everybody knew it. But you guys didn't want to write it because you're fake news.

cococandy, Good description of how pharmaceutical companies are decoupling from China.

https://legalinsurrection.com/2025/04/the-decoupling-of-american-pharmaceutical-supply-from-china-has-begun/

What struck me.

China, the newsletter reported Tuesday, “ed for 95% of U.S. imports of ibuprofen, 91% of U.S. imports of hydrocortisone, 70% of U.S. imports of acetaminophen, 40% to 45% of U.S. imports of penicillin and 40% of U.S. imports of heparin, according to Commerce Department data. In all, 80% of the US supply of antibiotics are made” in China.


American drugs are still very expensive .I compared 3 drugs , America,UK and Nigeria.

Cost Comparison in USD
Amoxicillin (Full Course):
America: $20 - $50 (for a 7-10 day course)
Britain: $13.34 - $40.02 (converted from £10 - £30)
Nigeria: $0.93 - $1.99 (converted from ₦1,500 - ₦3,000)
Penicillin (Full Course):
America: $10 - $30 (for a 10-day course)
Britain: $6.67 - $20.01 (converted from £5 - £15)
Nigeria: $0.62 - $1.55 (converted from ₦1,000 - ₦2,500)
Insulin (Monthly):
America: $300 - $600 per month
Britain: $133.34 - $266.68 (converted from £100 - £200)
Nigeria: $9.30 - $18.60 (converted from ₦15,000 - ₦30,000)


Healthcare per Capita.

America: $13,432 per capita in 2023.
UK: Approximately $4,500 per capita in 2023.
: Approximately $6,400 per capita in 2023.
: Approximately $5,740 per capita in 2023.

..............
And now we have this trade war with China that -- that Moody's and other analysts say is gonna cost American families thousands of more dollars per year. And there is a lot of concern out there. People are worried, even some people who voted for you, sayin', "I didn't sign up for this." So how do you answer those concerns?

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Well, they did sign up for it, actually. And this is what I campaigned on. I said that-- we've been abused by other countries at levels that nobody's ever seen before. We were losing $3 to 5 billion a day on trade. We were losing-- a trillion and a half to $2 trillion a year. Not sustainable.


Nothing to see there. Only one sentence quoted , making it appear as if he is mocking his voting base

---For The First Time Since 2022, The Economy Is Shrinking---Felon 47 will not take responsibility but blame Biden---

The U.S. economy has broken its three-year streak of steady growth.

The nation's economic output, as measured by Gross Domestic Product, shrank at an annual rate of 0.3% in the first quarter, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. It's the first time the widely watched measure of the economy has shrunk since the first quarter of 2022. That's a sharp downturn from the previous quarter, when the economy grew at an annual rate of 2.4%.

Robert de Niro son 29 years old is now a trans. Changed his name and us on hormonal treatment.
I absolutely have no problem with thus. At his age, he makes his own decisions without being guided by school counsellors.

Pity the poor father with all his money. Most people want their children to grow up , go to college, have career , get married and bring up a family.

I know he hates Trump and it's worse that he can see Trump children being responsible people in the society.

Canada can enjoy their far left nationalism until they cross a red line;
Such as getting too friendly with China;
Then they will become 51st state by force.

For now they should get to work rectifying their chronic trade surplus against Trump. grin

It is sad watching trump. This is like trying to manage a simple child who insists santa clause is real. At a point you realize it's a waste of time and you try to move on.

Especially as trump makes it clear you are expected to agree with any bs that comes out of his mouth.

It's sad to watch.
But I always find the bigger problem are his followers who reinterpret whatever nutty thing he does as rational.
When he first posted this picture his followers argued he knew that the letters were photoshopped and were just there as a guide to the tattoos.
And then he comes out and dispels that notion.
But his ers won't it their mistake, some will even double down.

No one thinks he’s funny. Because it wasn’t funny. Jokes have to be funny in nature. Trump playing with an office
that means much to a lot of people or Lindsay wanting to make his groveling bootlicking public doesn’t exactly have me in stitches. I’ll find my humor in something actually funny.

While he’s at it, he should joke about being the next king of Britain too or the supreme leader/grand imam of Al-azhar. Since he’s so funny 😒

Federal immigration authorities seized a family of U.S. citizens' phones, laptops and life savings in Oklahoma City before forcing them to stand outside in the rain in their underwear, a family member said.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) acknowledged that the previous tenants were the intended targets of the enforcement operation.

"The search warrants included the location of an address where U.S. citizens recently moved. The previous residents were the intended targets," a senior DHS official told Newsweek.

Why It Matters

President Donald Trump has pledged to deport millions of undocumented immigrants. His istration's hard-line agenda and ICE's aggressive approach have sparked concern among immigrant communities.

What To Know

The woman, identified by Nexstar's KFOR as "Marisa," had moved with her family from Maryland to Oklahoma City just two weeks earlier.

On Thursday, April 24, about 20 armed agents stormed the property.

"I don't know who they were," Marisa told KFOR. "It was dark. All the lights were off."

Marisa said the men claimed to be federal agents from the U.S. Marshals Service, ICE and the FBI.

"I keep asking them, 'Who are you? What are you doing here? What's happening?'" Marisa said. "And they said, 'We have a warrant for the house, a search warrant.'"

The woman said the agents had a search warrant for the home, but the people named in it do not live there.

Marisa said the agents forced her and her daughters outside into the rain before they had a chance to get dressed.

"They wanted me to change in front of all of them, in between all of them," she said. "My husband has not even seen my daughter in her undergarments—her own dad, because it's respectful. You have her out there, a minor, in her underwear."


Marisa discovered that the names on the search warrant didn't belong to her or anyone in her family. Instead, she recognized them from mail still being delivered to the house—likely addressed to former residents.

"We just moved here from Maryland," Marisa said. "We're citizens. That's what I kept saying. 'We're citizens.'"

"They were very dismissive, very rough, very careless," she added. "I kept pleading. I kept telling them we weren't criminals. They were treating us like criminals. We were here by ourselves. We didn't do anything."

Marisa said the agents searched the entire house and went through their belongings, ultimately seizing their phones, laptops and their entire cash savings as "evidence."

"I told them before they left, I said, 'You took my phone. We have no money. I just moved here,'" she said. "'I have to feed my children. I'm going to need gas money. I need to be able to get around.' Like, how do you just leave me like this? Like an abandoned dog."

Marisa said her family is now left with virtually nothing. Her husband had remained in Maryland for a few additional weeks and was planning to them later that weekend.

A senior DHS official said that ICE conducted a court-approved search warrant as part of a large-scale human smuggling investigation.

The search warrants targeted locations, including an address where U.S. citizens had recently moved, with the previous residents being the main focus of the investigation.

As a result of the investigation, eight Guatemalan nationals were indicted for their alleged involvement in smuggling undocumented immigrants into the U.S. Two of those indicted have prior criminal convictions, including charges related to narcotics possession, identity fraud, money laundering and reentry after deportation, according to DHS.

The case is being prosecuted in the Northern District of Oklahoma.

What People Are Saying

A senior DHS official told Newsweek: "ICE was carrying out a court authorized search warrant for a large-scale human smuggling investigation."

Marissa told KFOR: "What if I would have been armed?" she said. "You're breaking in. What am I supposed to think? My initial thought was we were being robbed—that my daughters, being females, were being kidnapped. You have guns pointed in our faces. Can you just reprogram yourself and see us as humans, as women? A little bit of mercy. Care a little bit about your fellow human, about your fellow citizen, fellow resident.

"We bleed, too. We work. We bleed just like anybody else bleeds. We're scared. You could see our faces that we were terrified. What makes you so much more worthier of your peace? What makes you so much more worthier of protecting your children? What makes you so much more worthy of your citizenship? What makes you more worthy of safety, of being given the right that they took from me to protect my daughters?"

What Happens Next

Marisa told KFOR that the agents refused to provide a business card and gave her no information or s about how to retrieve the items they confiscated.

what is the difference between these thugs and our own incompetent EFCC who storm peoples houses in the dead of the night and have been caught on camera manhandling innocent women?

America has already devolved to a third world country where security agents are above the law, unable and an occupying force. it is so bad that, just as in the case of EFCC, we have to ask - are these actual ICE agents? because as it is anyone can don a uniform and storm into a strangers house at night and rob them in the guise of an investigation.
