Despite Hurting Miniature Senator Rand Paul's Fragile Feelings, Markwaye Mullin is Confirmed as Secretary of DHS
Democrats Preparing Failure Theater on Their DHS Shutdown?
I don't know much about this guy except that I have vague memories of him standing on the open borders/"Comprehensive Amnesty Reform" side of things a few times.
But if Trump thinks he can be browbeaten into being useful, fine, I'll defer to Trump.Bill MeluginMXM:
@BillMelugin_ BREAKING: The Senate just voted 54-45 to confirm Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) as DHS Secretary. Applause & cheers break out. The only Republican no vote was Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY). The only two Democrats to vote yes were Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) & Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-NM). Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) didn't vote.
The Senate on Monday night confirmed Sen. Markwayne Mullin as the next Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, handing President Trump another key cabinet win as his administration moves to tighten its grip on immigration enforcement and national security. Mullin, an Oklahoma Republican and close Trump ally, was approved in a 54-45 vote, with a largely party-line split that still saw a few notable defections. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky was the lone Republican to vote against the nomination, while Democrat Sens. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania and Martin Heinrich of New Mexico crossed the aisle to support it.When Paul was questioning a vote of Mullins', which I think showed Mullins as weak on the border, Mullins said something like "I can see why Rand Paul's neighbor beat him up." Paul made this his primary case against Mullins -- not the vote, the comment about Paul being very punchable. He told Mullins to tell him that to his face, as if he were some kind of tough-guy. This is like a dweeby fourth grader saying "Say that to my face" when in the presence of three teachers and the Vice Principle. Rand Paul is an unserious pansy bitch and I can't wait to primary xim.
The confirmation caps a swift rise for Mullin, who Trump tapped earlier this month to replace Kristi Noem. In announcing the move on Truth Social, Trump said Noem would transition to a new role as "Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas," while praising Mullin's record in Congress, noting his decade in the House and three years in the Senate and calling his performance "tremendous." Mullin, a former mixed martial arts fighter turned lawmaker, quickly embraced the nomination, signaling alignment with Trump's agenda at a department that has become central to the administration's immigration crackdown and broader homeland security posture. "I am grateful to President Trump for nominating me to lead the U.S. Department of Homeland Security," Mullin wrote on X following the announcement. "I look forward to earning the support of my colleagues in the Senate and carrying out President Trump's mission alongside the department's many capable agencies and the thousands of patriots who keep us safe every day."Democrats have admitted that they have shut down the DHS to inflict pain and inconvenience on the public, so that their media allies can claim it's all Trump's fault.
For over a month, Democrats have shut down the Department of Homeland Security -- inflicting pain on over 100,000 American families missing paychecks and causing widespread disruption to millions of travelers across the country. Democrats have misrepresented negotiations in the press, been unresponsive, prolonged the suffering of hardworking Americans, boasted that they are "very serene" about this dangerous shutdown and are now openly admitting they are "making people hurt."The Trump Administration has negotiated in good faith from day one to fully fund DHS and avoid this dangerous shutdown, but instead of working towards a solution, Democrats have responded with a list of unserious, extreme demands that would seek to reinstitute Biden's failed open-border agenda, protect criminal illegal aliens, and put American citizens -- and the law enforcement officers who defend them -- in danger. Let's be clear: these attempts to defund our federal law enforcement agents and border security are unacceptable to the American people.
Trump's Nefarious Scheme to use ICE agents, whose salaries are fully funded, to serve as emergency TSA agents as Democrats ruthlessly attempt to shut down the country is actually working, says CNN.

Elon MuskAllegedly, Democrats are ready to make a deal, though I suspect they're offering a "deal" in the same way Iran's mullahs routinely offer "deals." Ed Morrissey, quoting Punchbowl DC:
@elonmusk I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country
Suddenly, Senate Democrats want to play Monty Hall on the stalled funding package for the Department of Homeland Security. Multiple outlets report that a new deal will fund DHS, except for a slice of ICE's migrant-removal operations. However, Republicans have a plan for that, and that may cost Democrats more than just a little face:Maybe this did it:Republicans would then try to fund the rest of ICE via a party-line reconciliation bill. That strategy opens up another option, however:
For the first time in more than a month, there's optimism that the Senate and the White House can finally find a path to reopening the Department of Homeland Security. Key Senate Republicans returned from the White House late Monday with a noticeably upbeat demeanor over the state of the talks with President Donald Trump, who had just rebuffed a GOP-backed off-ramp. The framework under discussion would fund all of DHS except for ICE's migrant removal operations, and could eventually include some reforms that Democrats have been demanding.
GOP leaders would also try to use reconciliation to enact elements of the SAVE America Act, which mandates photo IDs and citizenship verification for federal elections. Trump has called this bill his top legislative priority.

I used to be TSA when they first stood up and at peak travel periods a large percentage of our people were doing crowd control and making sure people had everything they needed before they got into a screening line. It makes sense to pass those duties off to other people and let the TSA people focus on their job of screening passengers.

I don't trust Mullin any farther than Trump could throw him but if he doesn't stay in line I could say the commander-in-chief saying "you're fired" so I guess it's okay

That SFO video of agents (not ICE, but I'm not sure who) arresting that illegal parasite is highly instructive.
White Karens filming and hassling the agents ... who are brown. The one guy who looks into the camera is clearly hispanic. The other guy looks hispanic too.
So two hispanic dudes, doing their job legally arresting an illegal alien under final deportation orders, are hassled and heckled by white Karens.

As I mentioned earlier today, the Dem base thinks they're winning the DHS funding fight lol.
Democrats have tried seven times to get TSA funding and Republicans have refused every time. I'm in the ATL security line now. ICE aren't helping anything. They're just standing around and chatting.
They aren’t there doing any real actual work. They won’t run belts or security they are there because the orange doofus wants to use them as his personal threat gestapo.
Remember, Dems tried to pass TSA funding 9 times to which the Republicans say no. They want their stupid ICE funding and SAVE act to suppress voting. Hold out as long as it takes as ICE is literally killing citizens.
They are not there to assist, they are there to acclimate people to the gestapo. This is theater.
Trump has brought up fort sumpter in tv interviews multiple times. I believe he’s putting all these armed men under his direct control all over the place in hopes that someone, anyone will engage and begin civil war 2. In which case he can declare martial law and retain the presidency indefinitely.

The Press's conventional wisdom is that "Republicans always lose shut downs." Even when the Republicans control both houses of Congress and the Presidency, "Republicans lose" is the narrative they attempt to bring into existence. If Republicans can't win one shut down fight against the Democrats' filibuster then they need to close up shop.

A good friend tried to fly out of Bush In'tl in Houston today and spent 3 hours in the TSA line, missing his flight.
So despite improvements at some locations, the Democrats are still punishing Americans in their pursuit of serving their most important constituency: illegal aliens.
Hope this isn't forgotten in the midterms.

She was all butthurt that ICE detained some illegal and his 5 year old kid and they were being 'taken to jail.' She tried to turn the kid into some living martyr asking "Are you alright with this?"
Yeah, pretty much.
So ICE in airports is a huge travesty. If only there was something, anything the Dems could do. Anything. But she couldn't think of anything.
Great move President Trump.

Damocraps won't be satisfied until there is a successful terrorist (preferably islamic but any will due) attack on the Homeland. Then they will try, and I say try but Trump is going them eat the shit sandwich of American deaths that they created.
This will prove the democrat party golden rule of "They hate us and want to see us dead."

Key Senate Republicans returned from the White House late Monday with a noticeably upbeat demeanor over the state of the talks with President Donald Trump, who had just rebuffed a GOP-backed off-ramp.
GOP Senators: "See, we're relevant and stuff!".
Narrator: they are not relevant.

Ace, I started re-reading LOTR (for about the 3rd or 4th time) a month ago or so... I'm now in middle of the 3rd volume (Return of the King); Aragorn just successfully traveled the paths of the dead. Even having read it multiple times, I still find it superb and gripping. Tolkien was a genius... it's a great yarn

ICE isn't doing the screening? they are doing the overall security freeing up THOSE TSA agents to help with screening
and this might just continue indefinitely
we SHOULD have ICE at our ports of entry, and that's what airports are

2019, of course, made their removal order part of the anti-immigration measures employed by the first Trump Administration. The Lopez family thumbed their noses at the order and stayed. During the Barry III administration, they were just faces in the crowd. But Trump II don't play and out they go.

Democrats intentionally "made people hurt" during Trump's first term by shutting down the government for 35 days.
Obama intentionally "made people hurt" by unnecessarily closing national parks and war memorials when Republicans shut down the government.
That seems to be how they punish Americans for voting in ways they don't approve of. Either that, or they are thinking that if they cause enough pain it will help them in the midterms.

I do have to wonder how much of the TSA horseshit was, you know, TSA horseshit and not remotely related to any funding issues. If it was to make the left look bad, whatever. It might have worked.
IIRC the funding shit show was about DHS, which is the parent organization of both ICE and TSA.
If one was funded, so was the other. If neither was getting money... why was it a "TSA related issue?" I mean, other than the media spin.
I'll wait... but I already know why.

Up until the 2025 inauguration, illegals were not only in airports by the thousands, they were getting free airfare and were exempt from TSA screening. Also, in Chicago, an entire terminal was closed off as living space for illegals.

Also helps that last week was a big travel week (spring break) and airports are always crowded then. I think lines would be shorter this week even without ICE.
As I said in an earlier post, the pics I've seen of airport lines looked normal for busy travel times. Even with TSA at full capacity, wait times through security at busy airports at busy times could be over two hours.
All that being said, if Trump wants to take a victory lap for reducing airport wait times, then go for it!

They're doing the amendment stuff in fits and starts in the Senate. I think they're doing the actual debate stuff in between other matters.
Stringing the base along for months and then either still going to a cloture vote or trying something as idiotic as reconciliation with a non-budgetary measure would be a level of stupid I don't think Thune has in him.
I mean, this is the guy who got 98% of the OBBB originally written passed even after the Parliamentarian pulled out a bunch of it. He just...put it all back on the final amendment (well, like 95% of what she had pulled out).
He's not Mitch, "Oh, darn, John McCain voted against the ACA repeal, darn it, gosh darn it" McConnell.

I don't know if the following arrest was planned in advance or just occurred because Trump had assigned ICE agents to perform TSA duties:
Nah, the arrest occurred before ICE was assigned to TSA duties.
It does show that someone who's ignored an order of deportation for seven years feels free to use the domestic air transport system.

For sure. I said that in my earlier post. The pics of lines accompanied hysterical reporting about what a clusterfuck it was. I was like "huh, that looks about normal for a big travel day."
This week should be lighter travel, but then it picks up again next week for Passover and Easter, which this year overlap. So airports will be packed.

Nope, I flamed out somewhere in the middle of LOTR fifty-some years ago and feel no desire to try again. I don't remember which book I gave up on, the third or fourth, I think. I found it a slow going slog and just gave up.

There are always legislators trying to build a brand name for themselves--Rep. H.R. Gross of Iowa was known as the abominable No Man for objecting, etc. to funding bills. Sen. Proxmire had his Golden Fleece. Sen. Mondale was noted as a major critic of NASA spending and IIRC caused a kerfluffle over astronauts taking small items to space and then selling them as a way to supplement their salary.
And legislative leaders make some allowance for legislators to peacock on certain issues in order to fund raise and to raise their electability. At a certain point though, you piss off enough of your colleagues that you are effectively done as a legislator. No one votes for your amendments, no one co sponsors legislation with you, your home town priorities are not funded, then you are simply a figurehead.
Remains to be seen if Rand becomes that as his dad did.

Markwayne became famous for challenging Teamsters Sean O'Brien to a fight at a congressional hearing, and Sean accepted. Cooler heads prevailed. So if Trump is looking for someone less confrontational....I don't know...
And are the airports easier now bc the illegals stayed home out of fear of ICE or bc their help is working? Either way is fine with me.

Still, Noem was knee-deep in the pro-trans lobby and Trump practically made her born again hard running DHS. As much as that bimbo could be... Arguably a better alternative to trying to primary them: hem them into a spot where they can't move left and open their seat up from that move...

Easiest is just go back to status quo before 9/11. Current law allows airports to adopt private security as I think several West Coast airports have that operate under federal security rules. Simply get rid of the TSA jobs and privatize the whole thing.
Should really be done with USPS and TVA as well.

Easiest is just go back to status quo before 9/11. Current law allows airports to adopt private security as I think several West Coast airports have that operate under federal security rules. Simply get rid of the TSA jobs and privatize the whole thing.
Should really be done with USPS and TVA as well.

I can't wait until you get to The Silmarillion.

It is best to approach the Silmarillion less as a novel and more like a compendium of Mythology like Bullfinch did with Roman and Greek and later Mythology.

196 I loved LOTR/Hobbit when I first read them so I ran out to grab The Silmarillion from the library. Got about 50 pages into it and noped out.
That book is denser than a supermassive black hole.

Like Paradise Lost but more awesomer because elves and orcs and shit.

Posted by: AlaBAMA
100 years ago, men loved each other as friends and were actually not gay. Sam married his girlfriend Rosie and they had many children. Frodo remained a bachelor and that was probably a blessing that he didn't get married considering he would likely still have had to leave her for the healing of Valinor across the sundered sea due to the lingering and painful effects of wearing the ring.

I would email Ed at Delta but he'd think I was stalking him. He answers his own emails. I know this for a fact from recent months over a very minimal problem that most would not reply to. The local customer service lady told me it was him answering my email, not an assistant. They guy is kind but he gets it done. She said teams from 4 different airports got my message after my email and he told them to fix it.
I am a Delta frequent flyer, always have been since college when I flew anything getting me back to college the cheapest, often with 2 stops before destination Crazy.
I would rather fly on my broom than fly Frontier or Spirit. Especially from Ft Lauderdale.
Over a decade ago I flew SW because it was a direct and cheap flight to MS. Then they pulled out of Jackson (who could blame them?). So now to get there we fly Delta straight to crazy NOLA and drive to avoid Atlanta.
My husband flew all the airlines when he was working. Always said Delta was the best. The worst was United.
Son flies Delta every flight, as do we. He flies several times a month for business.
This is unpaid PR for Delta and I do not lie. I may be a whole lot of things, but not a liar.

It is an interesting contrast between Frodo and Sam after they returned from Mt. Doom. Sam was less traumatized by the experience because he continued to have hope and he didn't carry the Burden of the One Ring nearly as long as Frodo.
Frodo had mostly given up by the end. He couldn't come back to the Shire and allow the natural beauty of the world to heal him. He needed supernatural healing and Valinor was the only place he could get it.

Tolkien meant the relation to be that of an officer and his enlisted batman/NCO. They were of different classes.

That explains why Sam calls him "Mr. Frodo," and Frodo calls Sam "Sam."
I'm new to reading/listening to the series. I do know Tolkien said they were not allegorical.

It is a jolt to see the high elves acting like crazed Vikings when they get pissed off. The early part with origin myths, is like most of them, a bit slow.
By the time of LotR the elves have seen everything and are tired of it. IN the beginning though? Just like the younger races...
Posted by: 18-1 at March 24, 2026 03:37 PM (sKqQm)
So Feanor does the Kinslaying and abandons most of the rebel elves including Galadriel in Valinor to face the music...so the rest walk to the next continent using a chain of islands in the Arctic just because they are that stubborn and bloody minded.

I had no idea that was Boorman! lol
funny
and you're serious about the Galadriel thing?!?! I thought that was a joke!

======
Boorman thought Exorcist was all about abusing Linda Blair. Literally. That's all he thought it was about. I'm not sure he even finished watching the first movie.
So, he made a movie about how the young girl needs to be rescued by a priest selflessly which is...the first movie.
And yes, Frodo bangs Galadriel in his script. The pdf is easily findable and downloadable if you want confirmation.

I fly mostly Delta and United as they have the two hubs I travel from (JFK and EWR). I've noticed no difference in the performance of the airlines themselves. I do think EWR is a better overall airport than JFK, so on balance I'd rather fly United out of EWR.

You gotta admit, Peter Jackson did unfortunately make Frodo quite feminine. And the scenes with Sam are kinda hard to watch. But maybe that's my brain being perverted by current culture and it read differently back then.

If you have any question how much power our garbage media still has to control narratives watch how they report on the actions Jack Smith, the FBI, DC judges and more regarding the the bogus Trump investigation Smith ran. It's on a scale much bigger than Watergate and I'm confident our garbage media will barely cover and to the extent they do they will downplay it.

I think the virus has invaded deeply into mitochondria. The energy part has gone kaput. I will rise again to do something tomorrow. And have a rare nap to recharge/restore/rehab re something. Maybe I just need a V8.
Apparently I can only do one thing a day this week. Yesterday: babysit. Today: eye doc. It's a pathetic parade of pity/irritation.
In nursing skool I had a cold and my then bf/now husband asked me what was wrong. I said thrombocytopenia because I did not feel like discussing it. He got quiet with respect.
I get no respect now (ok, that's a lie, he does everything including driving me to the eye doc when I normally drive myself). Probably to protect the car and innocent people in my path.

Based on HMS Dauntless, AB Dowsett is accused of grabbing the men by their crotches, stroking their arms, and making comments such as: ‘I like my coffee how I like my men, big and strong’.
She allegedly smacked women sailors’ bottoms and squeezed their breasts, on one occasion asking: ‘Do you like that, baby girl?’

At least she was an equal opportunity groper. And she's a 1. OK, a 1- at closing time.
