We know why they wear masks?

It's to hide their identities.

Many of them are Oathkeepers and Proud Boys and other militia types. They are Donald Trump's personal militia. They have no rules. They are very much like the Gestapo. "May we see your papers?"

I have seen them pulling people out of their cars and slamming them to the ground. Many of these folks are injured and some are killed. It is unacceptable.

They are reported to be the 5th largest army in the world. And they are well-equipped and well-paid. Some have received a $50K signing bonus. Most of them are not mentally capable of doing the job. They are a threat to all Americans, including the Republicans in Congress that presently support them.

They must be dismantled as soon as possible. Otherwise, it is going to get worse and worse until you no longer recognize your country anymore. Perhaps we are already there?

Congressmen and Senators! Open Your Damn Eyes!

Do your job!

It is not legal for hooded thugs to roam our streets with automatic weapons and assaulting our citizens. On top of that, anonymously, with hoods and no identification. Killing people in cold blood.

Now they are raiding the homes of reporters. What next? What more do you need to see? Or have you seen nothing. You sniveling bunch of chicken shits.

Defend our Constitution. Uphold the oath that you took. Or get the hell out!

Take off the damn masks!!

Or stop calling yourselves "law enforcement". There are city police, county deputies, county sheriffs, state police,law enforcement all over this country, and none of them feel they have to be anonymous and wear a mask. This is not El Salvador, at least, not yet. And please do not compare it to wearing masks during a pandemic.

It is un-American. Anybody that calls themselves "law enforcement" should not be ashamed to show their faces. They work for the public. We pay your damn salaries!

Take off your damn masks!

Beyond Anger

January 12, 2026

One of the reporters on MSNBC (MSNOW) asked Ilhan Omar a question and appeared puzzled...

....when she did not respond the way she wanted?

She asked her if she would denounce violence against ICE officials. Rep Omar said she denounced violence against everyone. That did not seem enough for the reporter, whose name I now forget. (Her husband, very young, was killed in Afghanistan or Iraq)

But, it seemed to be skirting the issue. The violence is being instigated and perpetrated by ICE officials. It is they that are imposing on the freedoms of the rest of us under some "law enforcement" charade. Let's start with the truth before we start asking these types of questions.

The Parallel Realities

Two opposing "truths" cannot exist at the same time. One will match the facts as we perceive them. The other will match the illusions as we perceive them. You may tell yourself that when the plane crashes, you will bounce away from the wreckage unharmed. That is an illusion. When the plane crashes and burns, you will be blown to smithereens, like everyone else. That is the fact. They can be very annoying in our illusory world.

But, we are living in one or the other parallel realities right now. We are either living in a factual world or we are living in a world of illusions. Both seem to be real. But they are not. There are laws of physics that determine reality. We are not Houdini. We cannot make them disappear.

Do they truly not see the danger?

Republicans are living in a pretend world. Many Democrats are standing beside them, hoping they can persuade them to see the cliff ahead. Unfortunately, Republicans are not presently part of the solution, they are part of the problem. A big part.

Do they not see Europe gathering forces against us? Do they not see that we are becoming a pariah nation, if we are not already there?

What excuse will they muster when Trump drops a nuclear weapon? "Well, it was a small one. We have some conventional bombs that are bigger."

A question for Republican lawmakers:

Trump is going to invade Greenland and start a World War. Are you OK with that?

If not, then do something about it.

Why do you hate America?

They keep calling them "law enforcement officers"...

They are not LEO's. (law enforcement officers)

They are masked hoods masquerading as LEO's.

Their job is not to intimidate, or terrorize, or kill the citizens of this country.

They are a threat to everyone, including MAGA, if they do not obey their orders.

They are a standing militia paid for by taxpayer monies, which means they work for you.

The same goes for Kristi Noem and Donald Trump.

They are unAmerican and should not exist. The people did not vote for that. They are lying.

That is who they are.

ICE is more of a personal militia for Donald Trump than an immigration enforcement department.

They would exist if they were not a part of government or even if they were not paid by the government. They are his personal SS. At this point, they are more a permanent structure than temporary.

They are extraordinarily dangerous. They are a threat to all Americans.

Unfortunately, they are being rewarded by our elected Congress. They are presently one of the largest standing armies in the world. And they are brutal. There is no command structure to speak of. Kristi Noem is supposed to be in charge but she has a difficult time just keeping up with her wardrobe. Donald Trump is their actual leader.

The Congress, in their oversight, should have the name and address of every member in the ICE organization. But, I doubt that they do? They are not equipped to handle this level of criminality. They simply cannot grasp the serious predicament we are in.

Just my opinion.
