And So It Goes

Today is Saturday, November 29, 2025. In the wake of the National Guard shooting, the divider in chief’s hate-filled rant on the eve of Thanksgiving is getting a lot of negative backlash from all quarters. His inflammatory rhetoric is detailed in an online The Guardian article by Maya Yang entitled “Trump’s hate-filled rant ignores facts on immigrant crime and economic benefits.”

His rant slammed immigrants for crime, “social dysfunction,” and economic hardship that is easily refuted by a wide range of immigration statistics which clearly show that immigrants dramatically bolster the U.S. economy and commit crimes at far lower rates than people born in this country.

Who could forget this “president’s” lying rant in which he condemned immigrants in a broad and vicious invective, painting them as “illegal and disruptive populations” and attacking “those that hate, steal, murder and destroy everything that America stands for”? Wouldn’t you say this jerk is a little hyperbolic here and is lying through his fat ass? I didn’t even go into this on Friday since I didn’t want it exposed here even because it’s patently untrue. But this is what a president has put out, and is it even worth mentioning if it’s the rantings of a madman as Chump really is? But it’s one thing to ignore this jackass, it’s another to witness the campaign of terror that this sad shooting incident has spurred which is to possibly block all migration from “third world countries” as a result. This is what Grump has vowed to do as a consequence of one Afghan going “nuts,” in his third-grade parlance! Take vengeance on all Afghan immigrants! It’s totally absurd.

The Afghan national who carried out this heinous act actually assisted the U.S. military effort in Afghanistan, as records show, and was evacuated to this country after the American military withdrew.

The incident has sparked even more anti-immigration rhetoric from this cruel regime, which has indicated it will further intensify its crackdown on immigrant communities – already a focal point of fierce opposition from civil rights groups, Democratic lawmakers, and even the public.

Chump, ever the fascist, has promised to conduct a comprehensive review of asylum cases and green cards issued to people from certain countries.

Despite Grump’s total false claims in his post, in which he claimed incorrectly that 53 million people in the United States – “most of which are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs or drug cartels” – are contributing to “high crime,” economists have found that immigrants are 60 percent less likely to be incarcerated compared to individuals born here. This trend has been consistent for the past 150 years, and yet, this fucking president continues to cling to unsubstantiated garbage.

Actually, it’s immigrants, Mr. President, that have contributed to the falling of crime rates in this country. Not increased them! “According to an analysis by the American Immigration Council (AIC), the immigrant share of the U.S. population has more than doubled since 1980, rising from 6.2 percent to 13.9 percent in 2022. During the same period, the overall crime rate dropped by 60.4 percent, from 59,000 crimes per 100,000 people to 2,335. This includes a 34.5 percent decrease in violent crime and a 63.3 percent reduction in property crime.”

Chump’s absurd statistics about immigrants being an economic albatross in this country are flatly contradicted by data showing immigrants are significant contributors to the country’s economy. “In 2023, undocumented immigrant households contributed $89.8bn in federal, state and local taxes, while holding $299bn in spending power, according to the AIC.”

Asserting with particular malice, Grump stated that “this refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America.” There is dysfunction in America right now, but it’s not coming from immigrant communities, it’s wholly coming from the Trump regime and its fucking horrible policies, no doubt about it!

Little Donnie also cruelly described Minnesota as being taken over by “hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia.” Not fucking true! He falsely asserted that “Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for ‘prey.'” He then ridiculed Ilhan Omar, a Somali American and member of Congress from Minnesota, as someone “always wrapped in her swaddling hijab.” This couldn’t be more openly racist than if you just yelled fire in a crowded movie house. Grump then bizarrely suggested that Omar had married her brother. If I were her, I would sue the administration for defamation of character.

Minnesota does boast a large Somalian population, but Somalians have emigrated to the city fleeing famine and civil war, but this president couldn’t care less why they’ve settled in this midwestern city.

What’s even worse with this 1984 regime is the terrible reality of his wholesale immigration raids that are allegedly targeting only criminals across the country. They are not! A new study from the Cato Institute found that 73 percent of people detained by ICE have NO convictions. It also found that nearly half had no criminal conviction nor even any pending criminal charges and that only 5 percent had a violent criminal conviction. This is not what the majority of Americans wanted and this will result in terrible consequences for the people within Chump’s inner circle of misfits and incompetents.

Now I must get back to watching a British thriller from 2024 called Restless. It’s a story everyone can identify with: the plot details the terror a single middle-aged woman goes through by having a terrible neighbor who booms music into her attached house during all times of the night and how she responds to the young man’s continuous barrage of loud music over a period of seven days. The film stars no one I especially know, but it seems quite good. It is streaming on Amazon Prime.

Have a good Sunday.

And so it went!
