Trump Says He'll End All Federal Payments to Sanctuary Cities

Until a Lowly District Judge once again asserts her authority of Supreme Overlord of the United States.

President Donald Trump announced Tuesday during a speech in Detroit that his administration will cease federal payments to sanctuary cities and states starting next month amid pushback over his immigration policies.
...
Trump made the declaration during a speech at the Detroit Economic Club, where he also claimed that the United States is at the beginning of an economic boom under his administration.
"Starting Feb. 1, we're not making any payments to sanctuary cities or states having sanctuary cities because they do everything possible to protect criminals at the expense of American citizens," Trump said. "And it breeds fraud and crime and all the other problems that come. So we're not making any payment to anybody that supports sanctuary."

He also said he'd denaturalize foreign-born criminals.

Trump is also calling for Kash Patel to fire all of the seditious FBI agents involved in the "Arctic Frost" prosecutions of Republicans for the crime of opposing the Democrat Party.

President Trump is publicly demanding a housecleaning at the FBI, calling on Director Kash Patel to remove agents after reacting to a Just the News report detailing how a former senior bureau official helped push the Arctic Frost investigation targeting Trump, Republican organizations, and elected conservatives.
In a Truth Social post responding to the article, Trump accused FBI personnel involved in the probe of abusing their authority and urged Patel to act immediately, framing the episode as another example of federal law enforcement being turned against political opponents under prior Democrat leadership.
The Just the News report summarizes congressional materials and internal FBI communications related to Arctic Frost, an inquiry that began as a January 6--related investigation but later expanded well beyond the Capitol riot. According to the documents, the probe ultimately placed Trump himself -- along with major conservative groups and GOP officeholders -- under scrutiny, even as agents acknowledged internally that there was no direct evidence tying Trump to criminal conduct.
Records released by Chuck Grassley identify then--FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Timothy Thibault as a key figure in driving that expansion. Internal emails show Thibault circulating left-leaning media articles, opinion pieces, and podcasts to colleagues as justification for escalating the probe, while privately conceding the evidentiary basis involving Trump was weak.
...
Emails reviewed by lawmakers show Thibault pressing colleagues to include "DJT" in Arctic Frost's launch paperwork and encouraging the use of open-source material and human intelligence to justify the probe after the fact.
...
The scope of Arctic Frost extended beyond Trump. Congressional materials cited in the reporting show the probe widened to include major conservative institutions, including the Republican National Committee, the Republican Attorneys General Association, and Turning Point USA, founded by Charlie Kirk.
Patel has since confirmed that his internal review uncovered extensive surveillance and data collection involving elected officials -- eight Republican senators and one congressman -- with records stored in a restricted FBI cyber vault requiring top-level authorization. Patel testified that he located the materials, terminated agents involved, and dismantled CR-15, the Washington Field Office's public corruption unit, which he described as the center of politically motivated misconduct within the bureau.

Calling on Patel to fire these assholes in a social media post is kind of odd on the surface. A proper POTUS demand of his own FBI director would be done with a phone call or memo.

This is a very public shot across the bow of every FBI jackoff in the bureau, not to mention one of Trump's patented outrageous statements that causes the usual suspects to screech like scalded cats, setting them up for humiliation and ridicule.

Unless and until SCOTUS throws a hard smack down on these imperial judges nothing is going to change.

Trump will do something and immediately he will be sued by a liberal and another liberal judge will slap an injunction on him and it will work it's way to SCOTUS where Trump will usually win. It's tiresome and a very good tactic for the left.

bongino found out that you can't just walk into a job in DC and fire whoever you want to and get rid of the problem employees as quick as he thought he could. In other words, the DC deep state and civil service protection laws prevented him from doing what he wanted to accomplish as deputy director. Instead of bashing his head against the wall for 3 years he quit.

On one of his last radio shows he hinted that might be the outcome after he took the job and actually got to work in DC.

113 I just had a random thought enter my head. We'll never know the answer to this, of course, so it's just a thought experiment.

We boarded that false-flagged "Russian" Venezuelan tanker bound from Iran, over strenuous, borderline-belligerent objections from Putin. Now, there's no particular reason he'd need or even want VZ oil, especially at this juncture, so internet sleuths have been surmising that this tanker might actually have been carrying the leftover materiele from Iran's badly damaged nuclear program.

I don't buy this, because I can't see a compelling motive on either end of that putative transaction. But I could easily see it being an arms shipment of *some* kind - perhaps Iranian drones, would be pretty useful to Russia at this time.

The Russians have an in-house expert on this exact type of operation who recently came in from the cold.

So... what if it turned out that it was in fact an arms shipment of some kind, and that it was a Viktor Bout Production?

What if Biden traded the Merchant of Death for a doped-up rugmunching hermaphrodite ladyballer, and the motherfucker immediately started fencing Iranian weapons to enemies of the US?

It's because they are willing to wager everything to bring to you a figment of their imagination.

Marx's History could have been true. However, the doctrine demands investment into the idea to "make it true". Mankind has been the subject to all kinds of delusions. Marxism is just one.

But it has set the idea of what life "should be". (Despite Hume having seriously destabilized the idea of "should".)

171 I think that's what I'm saying.

But while it works, I would counsel that we should be constructively engaging with him.

The Andy Garcia character warned him that was coming.

Maybe he'll offer to bankroll Tommy, Dale, Nate, and Cooper founding their own oil company.

176 I can't help but laugh when I see the name "Joe Thompson." I knew a kid named that, growing up. He was a mess. A juvenile delinquent, but also a deeply conflicted gay hillbilly.

I picture him as US Att'y and I laugh every time. But then it kinda makes sense, and I shudder a little.

178 Something tells me the mayor of Houston was tipped off about Trump's plan to cut off sanctuary cities.

It should be the shame of the Texas State Legislator that the State couldn't conjure up and enforce anti-sanctuary city laws with criminal penalties.

No. I don' t think it would have made sense for him to do so.

He was only on as a guest on Vince's show for a short segment. He did say that there are an incredible number of people working their butts off and making tremendous progress. Said Kash is great and that they walked into a maelstrom--things were much worse than they even imagined.

During his farewell address, he should call for a MAGA Day of Retribution -- which would include full pardons for all crimes against Leftists during that 24-hour period.

Being on the left as long as he was, he probably still feels the Call of the Feelz.

It's just for a time, the clash that would come from sending ICE into hostile territory was more abstract.

She looks like Johnny Winters' ugly sister.

And that woman who wrote the hit-piece obit on Scott Adams for People has a face like a kettle ball.

You could almost do up a chart of basic AWFL physiognomy for the purpose of recognizing these kooks on sight (like those silhouettes of airplanes and ships they used to use in WWII).

And, yes, I am investing heavily in brass.

198 A former classmate/friend of Pooky's says that DHS knocked on the door of his St. Paul home and asked if he'd seen any Somalis in the neighborhood. I'm pressing a hard [X] to doubt that it went down that way, but I'm also hearing it third hand through an "apolitical" lens.
