With Stories Like This
With stories like this, it's little wonder that ICE's reputation has gone to hell. It is an agency out of control, mindlessly following orders and without a spark of humanity.

Two Weeks
Trump's decision to wait two weeks before deciding on helping Israel attack Iran is a humane action. No one wants war and certainly not this one. Israel is fighting on multiple fronts and is stretched. It needs peace, especially in Gaza where it has become a bully reducing everything to rubble. Israel has gained a reputation of a bellicose country. Its neighbors fear it but not so much that they can't strike back. And, they will for generations to come.

China
The Chinese are no fools. Since the US is choking its exports to America, China is going everywhere else in the world with its goods. Yet one more example of why tariffs don't work. Is Trump paying attention?

Coup
This is a viral publicity coup on the part of Barcelona activists who want tourists to go home. Who would think a water gun would become a symbol of resistance?

Committed
This man is a committed conspiracy theorist. Even after losing a defamation trial and being ordered to pay $2.3 million to the plaintiff, he says he will continue to speak out about election fraud by voting machines. He is an example of too many Americans today who ignore facts and spin accusations from air. They are damaging democracy but can't be stopped.

Dumb
ICE has started to raid agricultural fields and meatpacking plants to round up illegal immigrants. How dumb is that? These industries run on immigrants and illegals who take jobs Americans don't want. I never worked in meat packing but I did stoop labor for a summer in the hop fields of California. Trust me when I say I was the only American in the field, and I wouldn't have been there except for the necessity of paying my way through university. Stoop labor is incredibly hard and ill paid. Only experienced Mexican illegals could do it well and the field ran on them even after a raid by the border patrol. The average American wouldn't last a day and I wouldn't have either except for the necessity of continuing my education and no other jobs were available. Trump has indicated support for farmers and well he should. ICE might be dumb but Trump is pragmatic.

Generations
What Israel has done in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and now Iran has insured that it will have enemies for generations to come. Israel's fight for survival has only increased tensions in the Middle East. Ultimately, the only path to peace is negotiations, but under Netanyahu is that possible?
