Meanwhile, back in my native Mississippi . . .

I don't often say much positive about Republicans, but, let's hear it (at least this once) for SEN. ROGER WICKER (R, MS).

Secretary of the Dept of Homeland Security Kristi "Puppy Killer" Noem advised Senator Wicker that ICE was going to lease a warehouse in Byhalia MS (Marshall County, pop. 1,300) for use as an ICE concentration camp. The capacity of the concentration camp was to have been close to 9,000 (7 X the population of Byhalia).

Wicker replied with a short one-page letter that basically said not just "NO" but "HELL NO !!!!", ICE is not putting a concentration camp into Byhalia and not into anywhere else in Mississippi.

Wicker beat that girl like she was a red-headed stepchild!!

Wicker served in the US House of Representatives 1995 - 2007 and has been in the Senate since 2007. He knows his way around DC and Noem picked the wrong ol' Mississippi boy to mess with.

What will be their last words?

If we do have elections in 2028, when the new Attorney General starts indicting Trump associates and when they are found guilty and sentenced, I wonder what will be their final words?

Here's a historic precedent that fits them well.

Vidkun Quisling (1887–1945) was a Norwegian military officer and politician who founded the fascist Nasjonal Samling (National Union) party in 1933. He is primarily known for collaborating with Nazi Germany during World War II and acting as the head of a puppet government in Norway, making his surname a synonym for "traitor" or "collaborator".

Vidkun Quisling's final words before his execution by firing squad in 1945 were, "I have been unjustly convicted and die innocent," or variations of "I am innocent!". He said these words while blindfolded, standing against a wall at Akershus Fortress, maintaining his belief that he was wrongly condemned for treason.

A letter to Trump administration officials

Once again, Thom Hartmann says what needs to be said.

I'm going to use some really vile language, you may want to pass on by

I was born in 1944 and reared in a crossroads, cotton picking town in deep South Mississippi.

Those of you who did not grow up there understand correctly that Whites were on the top and Blacks were on the bottom.

However, what you don't know is that there was some overlap -- there were some Blacks who were higher on the social scale than some Whites. Those Whites who were below the Blacks on the social scale were known as "white trash" -- they knew who they were, everyone else knew who they were.

I lived largely with my grandparents, who were high on the White social scale. If you were Black and needed to visit my grandparents' home, you came to the back door. Their maid (Black) was with them for decades -- she damn near reared me -- and she ruled the home.

One day -- I was 10 or 11 -- two men whom I knew to be white trash came to the front door. My grandparents'' Black maid told them to come back later and to come to the back door. When Granddad returned home, the maid said to my grandfather: "Mr. (grandfather), them two white trash come by to see you today. I told them to come back." Granddad did not bat an eye -- he said: "I hope you told them to come to the back door." "Yassuh, I did."

What I am seeing in ICE and Border Patrol and other uniforms is white trash. And having grown up with them, I know white trash when I see it . . . and there clearly is a lot of Hispanic trash mixed in with them. They are the most dangerous of trash -- they now have a badge, a gun, and the freedom to use them both.

I'm reminded of a conversation in the movie "Tombstone" in which Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp are talking about one of the outlaws, Johnny Ringo.

I know Trump's plan for the 2026 and 2028 elections

Ian Fleming, author of the James Bond novels, was a British intelligence professional. He knew the warning signs of enemy action. Fleming told beginning intelligence officers that if they observe something "Once is happenstance; twice is coincidence; three times is enemy action."

Trump has told us what he plans to do in the 2026 and 2028 elections 1, 2, 3, 4, . . . . god-only-knows how many times. This is not happenstance or coincidence -- this clearly is enemy action.

Trump has harped on two themes:
1. "There are 15 places." He often mentions one or more of Detroit, Chicago, Atlanta, Philadelphia, or other Democratic regions that often are majority minority.
2. He has said time and again he should have "sent the military" to seize ballot boxes in 2020.

These two frequent rants by Trump spill all the beans -- this is the plan.

15 PLACES.
Trump, Miller, and Bondi already have picked out 15 locales, likely 15 major, mostly-Black, solidly Democratic cities. We all know these cities include Chicago, Atlanta, Detroit, Memphis, LA, NYC, Philadelphia -- you add the rest.

SEIZE THE BALLOT BOXES.
I served 12 years as one of three members of the Electoral Board in a rural Virginia County. Our procedure when the polls close is the same thing that is done in every precinct in the country:
-- voting machines accept ballots and drop them into an internal hopper.

-- the machines count the number of ballots cast and produce a tally of number of votes for each candidate. Depending on the machine, the number of votes cast is displayed on a publicly visible counter while the vote tally is printed on a tape (similar to an old adding machine tape) that contains precinct name, date, time machine turned on, time turned off, number of votes for each candidate, etc., etc. -- the people working at the polls can print as many copies of the tally as needed but only after the polls close.

-- ballots drop into a hopper inside the machine. At the end of the day, close the polls (which means the machines will take no more ballots), look at the public counter, open the hopper, at least two officers of election (poll workers) remove the marked ballots, place them in special containers, seal the containers with seals indicating # of ballots (get from the public counter), date, time, etc., etc., then print and sign their name attesting that they did it right.

-- unused ballots are sealed in separate containers. The precinct knows how many ballots were issued, how many were used, so simple math tells you how many unused you have. The containers of unused ballots are sealed same as used ballot containers.

-- all this stuff goes to the registrar's office where it is locked into a vault then removed to the Circuit Court vault the next day where it is stored for the required time (22 months in the case of federal elections) -- in our county, sheriff's deputies accompanied the material from the poll to the registrar's office and observed it being locked. The next day, deputies escorted the ballots, etc., to the Clerk of the Court.

I guarantee you Trump will order some kind of federal force -- ICE, active duty military, federalized National Guard, or a mixture -- into the 15 cities where they will seize everything coming in from the precincts -- they may seize it at the precincts -- and either the military or a gaggle of Trump-appointed thugs will count the ballots, add the tallies, or somehow see to it that Trump wins.


And that folks, is what's coming. Count on it.

How to stop it?
FIRST: The states must recognize Trump is SERIOUS.
SECOND: EVERYONE must recognize what I have described above is the plan.
THIRD: The states must decide what force they will use to stop it. And the only way to stop it will be with force -- local cops, state police, National Guard. And the state forces must be ready to shoot.

Federal attorney asks for judge to hold her in contempt so she can get some sleep.

I hope I read this correctly -- US attorney tells judge that her "job sucks," she asks him to hold her in contempt, so she can get some sleep.

She'll be looking for a job tomorrow.

Federal Judge reaches down Noem's throat, rips out her heart . . .

. . . and eats it raw.

Noem wants to deport all Haitians in Springfield OH -- you know -- the ones eating the dogs and cats!! Judge tells her to GFY -- politely, of course.

Wondering why the cost and availability on TV of sports is becoming more expensive and hard-to-find?

I stumbled across a loooong but excellent essay on the topic of what is happening in sports -- collegiate and professional -- ticket prices, cost of concessions, cost of building a stadium, proliferation of streaming services, time out for commercials -- and why you can't find your favorite team on your favorite TV channel.

Here's one quote -- I recommend you read the whole article -- it's a bit long but it's well-written -- and will piss you off.

Rampant, unchecked corruption inside CBP (Customs and Border Patrol)

I stumbled on this article this morning -- has anyone else heard of or seen of or participated in Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker’s “Illinois Accountability Commission,” that he set up after Trump's “Operation Midway Blitz” in Chicago last summer?

Apparently some of the testimony before the Governor's Commission included this gem:
