Replying to @CalMatters
Well done, CalMatters. You've redefined a felonious gangbanger as a poor, sympathetic man evilly deported by the depraved Trump administration. And, in so doing, have completely destroyed your credibility. I say again, well done in showing us how much your 'reporting' can be trusted.

NEW: Yesterday, @CalMatters published a sympathetic profile on a ā€œFresno fatherā€ who was ā€œsuddenlyā€ deported by ICE to MX. He told the outlet he’s not a criminal & doesn’t know why he was targeted. However, I’m told by federal sources that he has been deported from the U.S. five times before, he has an active deportation order, he has pending felony aggravated assault charges from November 2025, he has decades old convictions for DUI w/ bodily injury & negligent discharge of a firearm that resulted in prison sentences, and he admitted in a consensual interview w/ ICE that he’s been a member of the Fresno Bulldogs street gang. I’m told his real name is LUIS ALBERTO ARREGUIN-VILLA, and he was previously deported from the US in 1994, 1996, 1998, 2003, and 2005, and that he admitted in an interview that he last crossed illegally into the U.S. in 2005 near San Ysidro, CA. Under federal law, illegal re-entry after deportation is a felony via 8 USC 1326. He has illegally re-entered at least five times. None of this context appears in the Cal Matters report. calmatters.org/justice/2026/…

It’s very telling that restricting the ability of eligible voters to vote is seen as a win for Republicans.

This is easily the dumbest thing I’ve heard all year. The fraud in the system is not the problem. Exposing the fraud in the system is the problem. That’s why they’re being prosecuted.
James Edward O’Keefe, 42, and Cam Higby, 26, both face felony charges of unlawful voting and identity theft. Polling places are the heart of our democracy. Any attempt to disrupt or deceive our election workers will not be tolerated. Watch: youtube.com/watch?v=c_oqgTcY…

I wish the majority of the illegal aliens in America were White Canadians. We wouldn't have nearly as many activists/obstructionists, and we wouldn't be hearing complaints from ethno-centrist racists like Ms. Rivas!
Yesterday, ICE kidnapped 3 parents outside of Van Nuys Elementary School. Families and students should feel safe at school, not fearful that ICE will tear their family apart. ICE needs to get out of L.A. for good, and must be abolished.

I could probably count on one hand the number of Pennsylvanians who earn only the federal minimum of $7.25 This is a non-issue thats sole purpose is to divide us along class lines. Hohum.
No one can survive in 2026 making $7.25 an hour. Let me put that in real terms: If you work a 40-hour work week, that’s a little over $15,000 a year. That’s not sustainable. Despite that fact, another legislative session has come and gone — and while the House has voted repeatedly to raise the minimum wage, Republicans in the State Senate left town again and refused to even bring a minimum wage bill up for a vote.Ā Ā  It’s not okay. It’s time to raise the minimum wage in Pennsylvania.

If anyone is uncertain about who Delia prioritizes, she just told you with one word... "our"! Race over Country?

NEWSFLASH: Dominion CTO Eric Coomer’s libel case against me for saying Dominion’s equipment rigs elections was just thrown out by the judge on summary judgment. Trial was supposed to start next Wednesday, but the judge read our evidence and realized I was correct. No libel.

Their "priority" wasn't a secure border. Their priority was to lock up votes by buying the allegiance of 20 million illegal aliens!

There are at least 20,000 non-citizens on the California voter rolls. Congressman Duarte lost by 187 votes. Congresswoman Michelle Steel lost by 653 votes. This is a constitutional crisis.
The thing they said doesn't happen is happening again. There is a minimum of 20,000 noncitizens on California voter rolls. Pass the SAVE AMERICA ACT and secure our elections.

I'm beginning to wonder whether Socialism doesn't work simply because they put "geniuses" like this guy in charge?
These are CRUMBS ..the French workers should own the means of production Democratically ..ending capitalism through socialist revolution. That would guarantee housing . 20 hour work weeks , a future for their children and planet to live on. Capitalism has no future.

Now that everyone is united against having a King, can we work on "No Emperors"? Or should Pharoah be next?
This country will never have a King. That's why America was born.

The policies and goals of Democrat representatives like Robert Garcia will result in the Balkanization of America!
ICE is out of control and not welcome in Long Beach. These agents are terrorizing our communities, separating families, and kidnapping people who are just here trying to work. There must be a full investigations and there must be accountability and justice. Abolish ICE.

Peak liberal socialism lunacy! If everyone can’t have it, no one can! šŸ™„
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The letter appears fabricated. Columbia Elementary School in Columbia, MS has no Mrs. K. Williams listed in its staff directory or 2026-27 handbook. No school or news confirmation of the letter exists. ces.columbiaschools.org/discover-our-s… resources.finalsite.net/images/v178403…

I feel sorry for the French high school students who started these protests. They just wanted to bring awareness to the needs of their schools, but now it has all been co-oped by the usual grievance mobs (not surprisingly)... antifa, anarchists, labor unions, far-left political parties, communists, (but I repeat myself), and hoodlums in general. What started out as "we need more teachers." has become "Eat the rich", "burn it down", and "free palestine". Go back to class kids. We'll take care of the ingrates!

The issue of did Ilhan Omar marry her brother has been around a while Here it is pointed out that she could have put the issue to bed very quickly by both her and her ex-husband/brother getting and presenting the results from a DNA test That would quash the issue beyond a shadow of a doubt and then Omar could have the high ground claiming she was persecuted, bullied, into doing it to clear her good name Odds are she is guilty of that and many other crimes
