Yawn. Looked like the US military was giving private bone spur a 45 million dolla history lesson in DC. What a tool.

So you know this as actual facts or are you just spewing whatt you hope is true.? As I’ve stated before, anyone that believes a word out of trumps pie hole is a damn fool.

What makes you think I didn't work for a living? I'm retired now of course, but damn man, I operated many successful businesses for others then started my own for the last 20 years of my working life. So when you decide to take your head out of your arse, you may come to realize you somehow someway decided that if someone disagrees with you, they are just worthless human beings.

You seem to be living in a moronic state of mind. Not sure how you got there. But for some reason you believe everything Trump and his minions tell you. Remember something, this is the man that told you that they are "Eating the Dogs, They are eating the Cats"! He's lied to you damn near every frickin day for the last 10 years. And you bought it. The problem is yours... NOT MINE

Can't wait until their so called "Supreme Leader" dies. It's been needing to happen for quite awhile and he seems to have a death wish.

Let the women in Iran live their lives. That would be one of the most enjoyable things to see.

This is a deplorable post.

As the article stated, this is more for optics over anything that was targeted.


At this point ICE is looking for identified targets. They aren't just driving down the street looking for random Mexican restaurants or farms to see who they might be able to round up. The problem is the optics fed by disinformation is that is what they are doing. The disinformation isn't necessarily fed or created by the media. Lot's is just word on the street. People are trying to get skinny and don't show up for work which makes it hard for the various establishments to operate.

As with some of you, I am sympathetic to the plight of some of these people. The majority of those people, but there are legal means for those individuals. The problem is that in the old days those people entered on work visas for several months, then returned home. Now they don't. They stay, and that is a problem. We have to get a grip on that. How that "grip" manifests is yet to be determined. I think it will be somewhere between simply deporting a mass amount of people and ignoring the problem.

In the mean time, we have to get the violent criminals and get them out, and there are a large number of those folks. We have to do that now in an expedited manner. We can't wait for all sides to massage out some sort of reform.

Who knows, the guy has a varied background.

Newly unearthed video shows Vance Boelter, the subject of a massive FBI manhunt, dancing in a church service as his links to Africa were revealed.

The video, filmed in February 2023, shows Boelter, 57, delivering a passionate testimony about how he met Jesus at the age of 17.

'I met the Lord when I was 17 years old and I gave my life to Jesus Christ,' he says in the clip.








He goes on to describe naming his five children after Christian virtues, Grace, Faith, Hope, Joy, and David, in what he calls a testament to God's blessings on his life.

But Boelter the preacher is now the prime suspect in what authorities have described as a targeted political assassination.

Boelter is accused of posing as a police officer and fatally shooting Democratic Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband inside their Brooklyn Park home early on Saturday.

Hours earlier, Boelter allegedly shot and wounded State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, at their home in nearby Champlin. In that case, both victims survived but remain in hospital

The video shows Boelter not only preaching but also describing himself as a man transformed by God. His passionate 25 minute sermon stands in stark contrast to the grim reality of the manhunt now underway.

The footage comes to light as it was revealed Boelter was the CEO of a security company called The Red Lion Group, which is based in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Red Lion Group has since deleted its website and LinkedIn pages, but Boelter's LinkedIn said he started at the company in December 2021.

He also worked with Minnesota Africans United, a statewide organization working with African immigrants in the state.

Two years ago, Boelter announced ago that he was in the country with his company, working on 'private business projects.'

He claimed to have business ventures in a host of industries including fishing, farming, media, security, and motorcycle-taxis all within the Democratic Republic of Congo.

'We're partnering with 400 farmers who are ready to go on a farming project… we're doing a fishing project that works with like 500 fishermans…that's off the coast of Rwanda,' Boelter stated in an online video.

'Another one that we're looking at doing is a totally women led motorcycle-taxi business, where all the operators are women, and the leadership is women, so we're excited to get that off the ground,' Boelter explained in his pitch.

'I would like to get 1,000 female motorcycle-taxis running in the near future but we need some sponsors to invest in that,' he went on.

In a video from August 2022, Boelter made a pitch for business in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Boelter worked alongside Minnesota Africans United and Global Minnesota in partnership with the DRC American Chamber of Commerce

About one month ago Boelter updated his LinkedIn to say he had returned to the US and was looking for work in the food industry on the corporate side.

'I'm looking for roles in Texas, Minnesota, Florida, and Washington DC-Baltimore area ideally, but would look at other locations if I felt it was a good fit,' he wrote.

Boelter also has armed security experience in the Middle East, Africa, Eastern Europe, and North America through the Praetorian Guard Security Services, a biography about him on the site said.

'He brings a great security aspect forged by both many on the ground experiences combined with training by both private security firms and by people in the US Military,' it reads.

'Vance has focused all this experience to make sure Praetorian Guard Security Services covers the needs you have to keep your family and property safe.'

He had previously worked at 7-Eleven and Geencore as a general manager, a system manager at Del Monte Foods, and a operational leader at Johnsonville Sausage, according to his LinkedIn.

His LinkedIn also revealed his deep connections to politics, as he asked his followers to vote ahead of the 2020 election.

Boelter, a husband and father-of-five, holds degrees in international relations, management, and leadership for the advancement of learning and service from various Minnesota and Wisconsin universities.

The FBI has offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to Boelter's arrest, and authorities have described him as armed, dangerous, and potentially targeting more lawmakers.

The footage shows Boelter delivering an emotionally charged sermon to a small congregation.

He can be heard preaching about repentance, God's plan, and the power of faith as the ultimate equalizer between rich and poor.

At one point, he describes his family as a divine gift and says, 'God has a plan for each of us... and no one can take you out of it - only you can walk away.'

The message is intensely spiritual while also laced with a level of determination that authorities now fear may have spiraled into extremist belief.

Law enforcement sources say Boelter left behind 'No Kings' flyers and written manifestos naming Hortman, Hoffman, and other elected officials.

Though officials have not publicly stated a motive, one source said that Boelter's writings expressed rage toward pro-choice lawmakers and contained elements of anti-government ideology.

Boelter is a former political appointee who served on Minnesota's workforce development board - the same one as Senator Hoffman, though it's unclear how well the two men knew each other.

He also ran a private security firm with his wife, Praetorian Guard Security Services, which promoted armed event security and featured imagery of tactical gear and patrol vehicles resembling police cruisers.

Police say Boelter used that look to his advantage. After allegedly shooting the Hoffmans around 2am, officers responded to the second scene at Hortman's house and found Boelter outside, dressed as a law enforcement officer and standing next to a police-style vehicle.

When they approached, he opened fire and escaped on foot during the exchange.

Inside his vehicle, investigators recovered multiple AK-style rifles. Authorities say he is still believed to be armed with a pistol.

Governor Tim Walz called the killings 'a politically motivated assassination' and warned of broader threats against public officials in a nation increasingly beset by political violence.

'We must all, in Minnesota and across the country, stand against all forms of political violence,' Walz said at a press conference earlier in the day as he ordered flags to fly at half-staff in Hortman's honor.

The former House Speaker, 55, was a central figure in Minnesota politics, known for her support of expanded abortion access and her role in a high-profile standoff with Republicans earlier this year.

Her husband, Mark Hortman, died later at the hospital. Autopsies show both died from multiple gunshot wounds.

Hoffman, 60, remains in critical but stable condition after surgery. Walz said he is 'cautiously optimistic' about the senator's recovery.

The attacks prompted a sweeping security response across the Twin Cities, including the cancellation of several anti-Trump 'No Kings' demonstrations that Boelter may have been monitoring.

State Patrol Col. Christina Bogojevic said the suspect's car contained flyers from the group and writings that mentioned potential future targets.

Boelter reportedly texted friends just before the shootings, writing cryptically: 'I've made some choices... I'm going to be gone for a while. May be dead shortly. I just want to let you know I love you guys and I wish it hadn't gone this way.'

As the FBI, state police, and local law enforcement fan out in search of him, residents remain shaken by the attacks.

'This is crazy - someone going after representatives?' said Douglas Thompson, a Brooklyn Park resident. 'This is wrong. I'm hoping they'll catch him.'

It's pretty evident it is./was.

It's pretty late and i haven't watched the news for a few hours. Maybe with luck he has been caught, or he has put one in his head.

Nut jobs like this many times know how it is going to end for them.

Suspect had links to evangelical ministries and said he was security expert
MINNEAPOLIS/NEW YORK/WASHINGTON, June 14 (Reuters) - The suspect in the deadly shooting of a Minnesota state lawmaker and wounding of another had links to evangelical ministries and said he was a security expert with experience in the Gaza Strip and Africa, according to his online postings and public records.
A manhunt was under way on Saturday for Vance Luther Boelter, 57, who police said is a suspect in the killing of Democratic Minnesota state legislator Melissa Hortman and her husband, and the shooting of State Senator John Hoffman and his wife.

Police said the suspect had been seen earlier on Saturday wearing a light colored cowboy hat, a dark colored long sleeved collared shirt or coat with a dark bag. The FBI offered a reward of up to $50,000 for information that could lead to his arrest.
David Carlson, 59, told Reuters that he has been sharing a house in Minneapolis with Boelter for a little more than a year and last saw him on Friday night. Then about 6 a.m. on Saturday, he received a text from Boelter.
"He said that he might be dead soon," said Carlson, who called police.
Carlson, who has known Boelter since fourth grade, said Boelter worked for an eye donation center and stayed at the house because it was close to his job. Carlson said he feels betrayed by Boelter and heartbroken for the victims, adding: "His family has got to suffer through this."

Boelter was appointed in 2016 to the Governor's Workforce Development Board, state records show. The board "has a responsibility to advise the Governor on Minnesota's workforce system," according to its website.

Asked if Boelter knew the lawmakers, Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Superintendent Drew Evans said: "We are still exploring that."
"There's certainly some overlap with some public meetings, I will say, with Senator Hoffman and the individual. But we don't know the nature of the relationship or if they actually knew each other," he told reporters.
Boelter listed himself as having no political party preference. On a LinkedIn post six years ago, Boelter urged Americans to vote and value the process: "If you believe in prayer, please keep the United States in your prayers."

Carlson said Boelter voted for Trump, was a Christian and did not like abortion, though he added that the pair had not talked about the issue for a long time, adding: "He wasn't really angry about politics."

In social media accounts, public records and websites reviewed by Reuters, Boelter described himself as a Christian minister, a security expert with experience in the Middle East and Africa, and a former employee of food service companies.

Boelter said he was the chief executive of an organization called the Red Lion Group, based in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. He and his wife, Jennifer, also ran a security service called Praetorian Guard Security Services LLC; Minnesota corporate records list her as a manager.
The company website says it offers only armed guard security services, and Boelter wrote that he had been "involved with security situations in Eastern Europe, Africa, North America and the Middle East, including the West Bank, Southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip." The claims could not be immediately verified.
Police were aware of reports that Boelter owned a security company, Evans said.
LOOKING FOR WORK

Boelter wrote on LinkedIn a month ago that he was looking for work: "Hi everyone! I'm looking to get back into the U.S. Food Industry and I'm pretty open to positions" in Texas, Minnesota, Florida and the Washington DC area.
Nonprofit tax filings show that Boelter and his wife ran a Christian ministry organization called Revoformation. The most recent filing, in 2010, lists Boelter as president.
On an archived version of the Revoformation web page from 2011, Boelter said he was ordained in 1993 as a minister, and had been raised in the small town of Sleepy Eye, about 100 miles southwest of Minneapolis.
In his biography on that site, Boelter claimed to have made trips to "violent areas in the Gaza Strip and West Bank where suicide bombings were taking place."
"He sought out militant Islamists in order to share the gospel and tell them that violence wasn't the answer," the biography says. Boelter said he went to St. Cloud State University, the now-closed Cardinal Stritch University and the Christ for the Nations Institute, a Bible college in Dallas.

After firing at police on Saturday, the suspect abandoned a vehicle in which officers found a "manifesto" and a list of other legislators and officials, law enforcement officials said.
Evans said police were still exploring what could have been the motivation for the shootings, adding: "It would be premature for me at this point to really say exactly what the motivation might be from these writings."
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said the shooting "appears to be a politically motivated assassination."

You have to actually work for something. Holding your hands out just waiting on handouts is not how trickle-down works.

No immigration changes under way for farm, hospitality workers, Washington Post reports

U.S. President Donald Trump arrives at Joint Base Andrews
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -There are no policy changes under way to exempt farm, hotel and other leisure workers from Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, the Washington Post reported on Friday, a day after the U.S. president vowed to issue an order for such workers.

Trump's comments on Thursday were aimed at soothing industry leaders, but there will be no changes to current deportations, according to the report, which cited three people with knowledge of the administration’s immigration policies.

Representatives for the White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the report, which comes amid demonstrations protesting Trump's immigration raids.


Trump's border czar Tom Homan told the Washington Post that he had not discussed any changes for such workers with Trump and has not been involved in any policy plans to address them.

Farm and hotel industries rely heavily on migrant labor, and farmers were strong supporters of Trump's 2024 re-election bid.

While Trump is carrying out his campaign promise to deport immigrants in the country illegally, protesters and some Trump supporters have questioned the targeting of those who are not convicted criminals, including in places of employment.

On Thursday, Trump acknowledged the impact of his immigration policies on some sectors and said he would issue a related order "soon," giving no details.

"Our farmers are being hurt badly and we're going to have to do something about that... We're going to have an order on that pretty soon," he said at the White House.

He added that it would also address the hotels sector, which would include the Trump Organization, Trump's private business that has said it is being run by his adult sons.

"Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace," he wrote on his social media platform before his Thursday remarks. "Changes are coming!"

U.S. farm industry groups have long sought to be spared from mass deportations, which could upend a food supply chain dependent on immigrants, and welcomed his comments.



Major hotel companies and casino operators did not return Reuters' requests for comment.

Trump ordered to return control of National Guard troops to Gavin Newsom after ‘illegal’ order over LA protests
The Independent
Trump did not say what steps he would order or when they would come.

U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins told CNBC on Thursday that Trump was reviewing all possibilities but that Congress would also have to act, pointing to the H-2A visa program that allows employers to hire temporary or seasonal labor.

An immigration raid of an Omaha, Nebraska, meat-packing plant on Tuesday forced the company to operate with reduced staffing and caused concern among traders and analysts about how such raids could disrupt U.S. food production.


The United Farm Workers and California's Democratic Senators Alex Padilla and Adam Schiff this week called for a stop to immigration enforcement actions targeting farmworkers after media reports of Tuesday raids at California farms.

In April, Trump suggested farmers could petition to keep some workers if the migrants left the country and then returned with legal status.
