What is I.C.E.?

According to Google, Ice is water that has frozen into a solid state; occurs naturally on Earth; plays a significant role in the water cycle and climate.

If you listen to many of the left leaning democratic politicians you will hear that ICE are mask wearing, no identification thugs kidnapping our neighbors off the streets, at school, work and in city parks and splitting up families by sending them to some godforsaken third world countries.

What you won’t hear is the reality that when ICE goes out to arrest criminal illegal migrants it is with an arrest warrant for a specifically named individual signed by a judge. And in places where local politicians refuse to allow (order LE not to cooperate with ICE) there are generally present individuals paid to obstruct ICE, which is a federal offense.

Also due to the fact that some individuals are DOXing, releasing to the public the names, addresses and phone numbers of ICE agents and their families it is often necessary for ICE to mask up while performing their duties to enforce federal immigration law.

One more tidbit is the fact that when apprehending criminal illegal migrants they are often in the company of other illegal undocumented migrants, who may or may not be on a BOLO report or simply may be in the wrong place at the wrong time, yet are fully eligible to be deported.

ICE has made it possible for any illegal undocumented migrant to “SELF DEPORT” by using the app and therefore being able to apply from their home country for legal documented status to return as an asylum seeker, student, tourist, or resident alien. However once they have been deported by ICE they are banned from entry into the U.S. again.

Most of the political hype centers on the roundup of criminal illegal aliens by ICE’s ERO division:

Formally known as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and commonly referred to as I.C.E.  was created in 2003 through a merger of the investigative and interior enforcement elements of the former U.S. Customs Service and the Immigration and Naturalization Service. The agency is primarily devoted to three operational directorates – Homeland Security Investigations (HIS), Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) and Office of the Principal Legal Advisor (OPLA), while a forth directorate Management and Administration (M&A) supports the three operational branches to advance the ICE mission.

Enforcement and Removal Operations

The ERO directorate upholds U.S. immigration law at, within, and beyond our borders. ERO’s work is critical to the enforcement of immigration law against those who present a danger to our national security, are a threat to public safety, or who otherwise undermine the integrity of our immigration system.

ERO operations target public safety threats, such as convicted criminal undocumented aliens and gang members, as well as individuals who have otherwise violated our nation’s immigration laws, including those who illegally re-entered the country after being removed and immigration fugitives ordered removed by federal immigration judges. ERO deportation officers assigned to INTERPOL also assist in targeting and apprehending foreign fugitives or Fugitive Arrest and Removal (FAR) cases who are wanted for crimes committed abroad and who are now at-large in the U.S.

ERO manages all aspects of the immigration enforcement process, including identification and arrest, domestic transportation, detention, bond management, and supervised release, including alternatives to detention. In addition, ERO removes undocumented aliens ordered removed from the U.S. to more than 150 countries around the world.

The progressive democrats on the left, their legacy media broadcasters, hire “paid political protestors” and others who react without any idea of what they are protesting. These “protestors” should understand that facing off with law enforcement puts them directly in the crosshairs of apprehension, arrest and/or further investigations which could result in substantial criminal charges for interfering with law enforcement.

Might I remind congressional democrats that as the Legislative Body it is their constitutional responsibility to write the bills that would create change or modify new or existing laws when signed by the president and it is the constitutional responsibility for the Executive Branch to enforce the laws.

Voters – YOU alone are responsible for your vote. If your elected official spends his/her time in office resisting instead of legislating YOUR wants and desires, it is YOUR responsibility to vote them out of office. Remember you get what you vote for. – RTM

President Trump On A Mission

People ask why I write many of my blog posts about Donald Trump. I say to them what I’m saying in this post that if nobody writes the truth how will they know?

During Trump’s presidency #45 he went into office blindly relying on and trusting his advisors and handlers, several of whom either gave him bad advice or turned him by leaking sensitive information to the press. When the chips were down a number abandoned ship or were replaced. In spite of all the negative press, a hostile both republican and democrat led congress Trump managed many great accomplishments in his quest to Make America Great Again.

During the Biden presidency Trump wasn’t sulking in the shadows. In fact Trump still had that dual mandate from God to stand against the Spirit of Political Correctness and to stop Evil. Behind the scenes Trump’s advisors were gathering individuals with one or more of Trump’s two primary pre-qualifications for his next administration – Talent and Experience. Keep in mind Trump was still taking hits from Biden’s weaponized D.O.J. as well as coordinated legal actions from democratic state and city attorney generals who were trying to bankrupt, put him behind bars (he got his infamous mug shot) as they prepared to prevent him from ever holding public office again.

As the Biden presidency #46 was on its last legs the Democratic Party was coming unglued and became desperate to stop Trump’s run for the presidency J13 in Butler, Pennsylvania became ground zero as a would be assassin shot Trump and killed innocent bystander Cory Comperatore and seriously injured rally goers David Dutch and James Copenhaver before the shooter, 20 year old Thomas Crooks was neutralized by a secret service sniper. This was a turning point in Trump’s life personally and politically as he felt the hand of God protecting him for a greater purpose. In Palm Beach, Florida on S15 a second would be assassin was arrested near his golf course.

As American voters became galvanized so did the polarization along political lines. President Biden dropped his bid for re-election and endorsed Kamala Harris who literally ran her campaign into the ground. Trump won the election of 2024 by a landslide promising to seal the border, fix the economy, and put Americans back to work, rebuild our military (peace through strength) and correct America’s trade balance with tariffs for every nation on earth that trades with the U.S.

Beginning on J20 President Trump #47 hit the ground running announcing the Golden Age of America has begun. His major concerns were to stop the war between Russia and Ukraine and return the hostages in Gaza; close the border to illegal migration; resumed construction on completing the border wall; and began deporting criminal illegal migrants; and to issue pardons for many of those arrested, charged and convicted of J6 offenses.

Trump formed the D.O.G.E. taskforce, headed by Elon Musk to conduct a financial audit of every government agency to root out fraud, waste and abuse; he then began paring down the federal government workforce and took steps to eliminate unnecessary/duplication of government agency responsibilities; keep men out of women’s sports and stop D.E.I. in America; and most important are holding former government officials accountable for their actions while in office by meaningful and legal investigations by congress and by the F.B.I.

Every step of the way Trump is being met with judicial interference, yet he remains focused and is continuing forward at a rapid pace. A major piece of legislation for Trump was signing his Big Beautiful Bill on J4 in a ceremony at the White House and we are just approaching Trump’s first six months in office. – RTM

The Most Consequential President Ever

In the history of our Nation there have been 47 presidents who were either great military leaders, veterans of foreign wars, medical, and legal professionals, “career” politicians or business leaders but there has never been a real visionary with the intestinal fortitude and stamina like President Donald Trump.

Six months after assuming the office a second time Trump was asked what made him more successful this time? His answer was short and to the point, “Talent and Experience”.

He said, “The first time I had the talent but not the experience”. Trump said the first time he relied on advice from others and chose some very bad people.

This second time around the Trump cabinet has very smart talented people in very critical positions and they work well together not just for Trump but for the American people.

Trump accomplished more during his first term than many presidents before him. In the first six months of his second term he has accomplished more for our country than all the presidents before him combined. Not only has he placed America first, but followed closely by working hard to save human lives by striving to stop senseless wars overseas while fighting lawlessness, two blotched assassination attempts and continual political infighting here on the home front.

When the Israeli Prime Minister recommended President Trump for the Nobel Prize he remarked that Trump should get the Peace Prize for EVERY action taken to bring peace during both of his terms in office. He was right.

Everything about Trump’s second term from border security to foreign affairs, the economy, immigration and the industrialization of putting our nation back to work is nothing short of remarkable.

History may soon look back on President Donald J. Trump as the man who saved America. – RTM

Connecting the Dots Politically Speaking

Democrats who fail to learn from their errors will repeat them, is the lesson applicable for today. More importantly voters who continue to vote for candidates based on political party, instead of merit will continue to get what they voted for. What we see in proclaimed sanctuary cities and states are the lawless values of politicians put upon the people as a means of control. Claims of racism used by politicians are putting people back on the plantation and is in fact what democratic democracy is all about – full and total and willing control.

How does what we see today compare with the nation prior to the Civil War? Did that war start at its core because southern states refused to free the slaves and the northern states under President Lincoln moved to force compliance or was it their refusal to enforce federal law? After all, immediately after the war the democratic Klu Klux Klan (KKK) began marching throughout the southern states murdering and lynching minorities and sympathizers leading to the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s.

We are led to believe that democrats of yesteryear are somewhat different today? The party of the working man has become the resistance party espousing the values (or lack thereof) and using the tactics long since associated with the KKK riders. Voters are pressured, badgered and bullied into believing voting democrat is a must for American minorities.

I think of sanctuary governors and mayors who defiantly state their order not to assist I.C.E. agents enforcing federal law, yet these same politicians attempt to determine and limit the scope and attire of federal agents in the performance of their duties. One state seeks to prevent ICE from wearing masks, while others seek to prevent areas within their municipalities from being accessed by I.C.E. These democratic politicians fail to realize that their rants and raves do not prevent I.C.E. from enforcing federal law and wearing their clearly marked attire ANYWHERE in the United States.

A recent I.C.E. raid of a California state sanctioned pot field netted the arrest of 319 illegal migrant workers and the recovery of 14 unaccompanied underage juvenile migrant children working there illegally. I wonder why the D.O.J. does not federally deputize local and state law enforcement (much like the President activating state National Guard) so they can assist rather than stand by when lawlessness abounds?

Is it not the primary responsibility of city, state and federal politicians to protect Americans from bad guys, gangs, and terrorists? Don’t forget that federal law TRUMPS local city and state law. Politicians who empower, encourage or promote lawlessness or order to selectively enforce federal laws of the United States have become law breakers who can and should be prosecuted and removed from public office.

Who then is protecting American’s from these bad politicians? – RTM

Do Caucuses Lead to Political Infighting?

It is no secret that American politicians are so divided over enforcing federal laws. Mayors, governors and state and federal elected officials feel empowered to resist the federal government when it comes to abortion, education, public safety and international affairs.  From whom do they get their “authority”?

A number of state officials have come to office after serving in the U.S. Congress where their “worldview” has been shaped, in part, by various congressional caucuses, which I last counted was more than 200, including caucuses which accept or reject congressional members solely by race.  Isn’t that illegal?

Caucuses are created to influence the political agenda of its members.

The Congressional Black Caucus of which Barack Obama, Karen Bass and other notable politicians are alumni, has billed themselves as the “Race Police” to seek out racism in government, and now are focused on resisting the executive actions of the Executive Branch, i.e. President Trump. Not only that, but they have committed their statuary authority, congressional power and ALL THE MONEY OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT toward their ends. Not to mention that they are federally funded.

There are so many others, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus; the Congressional Asian-American Caucus; caucuses for other nations, other topics and each going in separate directions. Members who join must abide by the decision of their caucus.

Do you remember the “African shawl” debacle lead by then Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other congressional democrats unknowingly wore the colors of the African slave hunters who sold entire villages to the captains of slave ships back in the day? The African woman who spoke out about this was conveniently silenced.

Today’s 119^th Congress is committed to resisting Trump at every juncture. They defend unlawful, illegal immigration and promote their unauthorized usage of federal programs by migrants who have no legal right to them. The resist Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s actions to remove illegal migrants from our nation, to the point of breaking into federal prison facilities, traveling to foreign lands to demand the leaders of other nations return THEIR CITIZENS back to the U.S.A. where they don’t belong in the first place.

On the subject of abortion, congressional democrats have no problem killing off America’s future citizens while feigning outrage over the children of foreign citizens being sent back to their home countries in order to keep families together.

It was President Richard Nixon who first challenged the first rendition of the CBC by defunding them. They simply renamed themselves the CBC and have grown steadily over the years. We all know what happened to Nixon, right?

I have a solution: defund ALL congressional caucuses to prevent federal funds from funding our nation’s demise, especially those promoting anti-American, anti-government or foreign terrorist groups and individuals. – RTM

Half Empty or Upside Down

Coming down from a truly patriotic high after enjoying the fireworks display at the nation’s Capital, various states and right here in my own Colorado Springs, Colorado neighborhood where it just feels good to be an American.

Over the past 249 years the people of the expanded 13 American colonies have made a great many sacrifices that have affected people around the globe and here at home. During World Wars I & II military age men jumped at the chance to serve in the heat of battle overseas for the sake of Freedom. Others made their contributions here at home doing whatever they could.

After the wars ended men and women came home to a life of peace, soon interrupted by war in Korea, then Vietnam, the Cold War and the War on Terrorism, the Gulf War, Afghanistan and so many others referred to as “police actions”. No matter the call Americans volunteered in record numbers not fighting for a president, a political party or the cause of democracy, but to set free the oppressed in order that they too might taste the freedom we enjoy today.

Little to nothing has been said of the sacrifices made by our brothers and sisters in arms who stand the guard watch every hour of every day, 24/7/365 to ensure that our nation and its people are safe and protected. The torch of daily administration of safety and justice is carried by our first responders of city, state and federal agents. To them we are grateful.

All too long we’ve been told by the pillars of our government’s legislative and executive branches that America is bad, Americans are ugly, conceited and so full of themselves that all they care about is money. Yet when given a closer look we see it is those pillars that are themselves corrupted by the power they have taken from the people they are supposed to serve. Over time the will of the people is what is imposed upon them by their elected officials.

Ten years ago an outsider decided to change the status quo at the highest levels of government. He promised to make this nation great once again, an impossible task? Yes, but his determination to make substantial changes in how the government works and his vision for what America could become have fueled what I thought was a lost cause.

As soon as he hit the political stage he caused such uproar that those in power began a campaign to discredit him, personally, professionally and politically. His persistence made such an impact on the Republican Party that it caused a remake from the inside out. Their only chance of survival was to change with him or face political demise. Thus the MEGA Republican base was formed.

It has taken those same ten years for the Democratic Party to go from the party of the working man, to the progressively liberal party feeding off of Hollywood’s fame and fortune, until now they have become the party of misfortune, serving nobody but themselves as we have seen in the backbiting and backstabbing of the party headquarters against even the sitting president of their own party in 2024. It is my prediction that unless there is a major change in their “the sky is falling” strategy this party is facing its political demise.

July 4^th, 2025 marks a milestone in American history leading to a very successful period ahead where, the sky is the limit to what Americans can do, individually and collectively with the help and guidance of Almighty God, for the nation and the world at large. It is such a great time to be alive to witness the road ahead. – RTM

Political Demonstrations Across America

It’s been said that we are creatures of habit. We like what we like, we say what we want, and we do the same thing over and over again. I remember past rioting, looting and throwing bricks, rocks, or other material conveniently placed in designated, strategic locations in the chosen cities. Isn’t it strange that huge trucks and material handling equipment can conveniently drop off this material without rousing suspicion? Are there not city, county or state police and federal agents routinely checking their assigned routes or areas of responsibility that would notice little things like this? I know there is construction going on just about everywhere, but in the downtown areas would it not seem strange to see a pallet(s) of strange, out-of-place materials in or near stores, intersections or parks?

Today being July 4^th, 2025 it might behoove local, state and federal law enforcement to look at their cities and states, major highways and freeways as well as susceptible businesses BEFORE rioting and looting begins? – RTM

America Love It or Leave It

Several days ago I did a search of the countries of North America and believe it or not, there are 23 countries, islands and territories listed. Who am I to question that? No wonder everyone is trying to get into the United States of America, I guess the other 22 countries just won’t do.

What ever happened to North, Central and South Americas that stretch all the way from the north to the south poles? Maybe there’s more to this AI thing that meets the eye?

For those wanting free and open borders, try going into Mexico from the USA without documentation and see how far you get? Then try coming back into the USA without documentation? Try that for any country in the world without documentation.

I’ve been in foreign countries where anyone caught without a proper entrance visa, working without the proper visa or overstaying a now expired visa gets you fined, locked up and/or departed – without question.

Do you know that during the early days of COVID President Donald Trump halted immigration from the Sengen (sp) area of Europe as well as from China and they called him a racist? I didn’t know there was a country called Sengen. In fact Sengen is an area in Europe where one needs proper documentation just to be able to enter the Sengen area, which is a gateway to travel anywhere in Western Europe.  But now to prevent an open borders invasion, Trump is the bad guy?

We have laws pertaining to immigration and we have a congress that creates, changes or repeals laws and we have a president who signs bills into law, so why is it so hard for congress to fix errors and loopholes in existing laws instead of standing on the verge of sedition when it comes to resisting the duly elected president and his agenda to make America better than ever before?

Under the Constitution we as citizens have the right to free speech. We also have the right to remain silent. Immigrants come to America to escape persecution, gangs or for a better life by applying for and receiving entry permission. Immigrants (legal or otherwise) who come to this country to agitate or stir up dissention against our nation, our government or our way of life do not have the same rights as citizens under the Constitution. What immigrants do have is the right to self-deport or face immediate deportation after standing before a deportation judge.

America is not perfect, but it is the only Constitutional-Republic in the world. Living here, abiding by our nation’s laws and working hard to make America better is not a red or a blue thing, but a red, white and blue thing, IT IS THE AMERICAN DREAM!

I’m not much on online poles or studies like one published recently that claimed more than 90% of republicans and only 40% of democrats are proud of America but as harsh as it may sound – America love it or leave it!

It’s the American way! – RTM

The Flag Stands for Freedom

Whether traveling on foreign soil or in front of a solitary flag pole at home what comes to my mind when I see Old Glory is “Freedom”, too often taken for granted until it is literally taken away? Our men and women in uniform sign on the dotted line, pledging their lives for the defense of freedom. Thank You to all who serve and have served. We owe you a deep debt of gratitude!

Freedom comes from the God who created everything as stated in our nation’s founding documents “all men are created equal by our creator”.

We have the freedom to live a life that pleases God.

We have the freedom to love our neighbor as we love ourselves.

We have the freedom to dream big.

We have the freedom to live the American dream.

In times of international competition or military conquest we rally around the flag. Our national identity is the Stars and Stripes where our patriotism is on full display.

Patriotism unites “One nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all”.

It is our duty, our responsibility to carry it forward so that everyone enjoys “Freedom”.

I challenge you to visit someone in prison, watch and listen as those doors clang shut, locking you in, effectively curtailing your “Freedom”. You will never forget the sound, the atmosphere, the isolation felt by losing the freedom to move about as you please until those doors open for you.

Happy 249^th Birthday America, July 4^th, 1776 – July 4^th, 2025 – RTM

My Take on Proposed California Law Banning Law Enforcement Wearing Masks

Democrats have really lost their minds. In New York City, law enforcement officers (Police) who work with I.C.E. will be charged and in California law enforcement officers who cover their faces in the performance of their duties will face misdemeanor charges as shown in this article:

ICE Agents Could Be Banned From Wearing Masks Under New Proposal – SB 627

June 17, 2025

By Billal Rahman and Dan Gooding

Immigration Reporter

There has been growing criticism of ICE in recent months for allowing its agents to carry out targeted enforcement operations in plain clothes and face coverings. ICE officials argue that the masks are crucial to protect the identities of agents and their families from death threats. The agency is facing increased scrutiny as President Donald Trump directs his administration to remove millions of migrants without legal status.

Democratic state Senators Scott Wiener of San Francisco and Jesse Arreguin of Oakland announced Monday that they will introduce SB 627, a bill that would prohibit local, state, and federal law enforcement officers from concealing their faces during interactions with the public.

Law enforcement officers who conceal their faces while performing official duties could be charged with a misdemeanor under the new proposal.

State Senator Scott Wiener said in a press release: “Law enforcement officers do critically important work to keep our communities safe, and they should be proud to show their faces and provide identifying information when doing so. It boosts trust in law enforcement, which makes it easier for law enforcement to do their jobs and makes California safer for all of us.”

State Senator Jesse Arreguín said in a statement. “This bill will ensure that law enforcement are easily identifiable, maintaining that trust and accountability.”

Law Enforcement and/or ICE agents cannot wear masks while performing their duties, but criminal looters and protestors face no such restrictions is the same logic shown in restricting gun ownership “when criminals see nobody else has guns they will put their guns down too”……….

Democrat politicians at every level (City, State and Federal) clearly show why they don’t have the capacity or deserve to hold elected office at all. The problem is that voters clearly show they don’t have a clue that their vote enables feckless politicians to run their city, state and precincts literally into the ground.

Every citizen deserves to be served and protected by law enforcement.

Every criminal element deserves to be arrested, tried, convicted and then locked up or executed for their crime.

Every illegal alien deserves to self-deport with an opportunity to re-enter legally or face apprehension and deportation and banned from entering the USA ever again.

If city managers, state and federal legislators would work as hard for their constituents as they do to work against enforcing state and federal laws, America would be a much better place to live and raise a family in safety.

What gets me is the fact that city and state government politicians think they alone have the ability to go against federal statutes and laws, while owing no responsibility to the voters on the street who elected them.

If it is a federal law that anyone who aides and abets unlawful migration of aliens or hinders their arrest and removal then why are we not seeing ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENTS putting handcuffs on politicians and federal facilities placing them in custody? – RTM
