Worshipers..

 

Left-wing activists disrupted an event at a Jewish temple in New York this week while Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi was speaking, protesting his vote in favor of a government spending bill that included increased funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The demonstrators, affiliated with the activist group Climate Defiance, interrupted Suozzi at the temple on Long Island, unleashing a barrage of crude theatrics and profane insults, according to the New York Post.

"We confronted Congressman Tom Suozzi," Climate Defiance posted to X. "He is one of seven Democrats casting the decisive votes to increase ICE funding by $10,000,000,000.

Leave the places of worship with its peaceful attendees alone. Just a thought.

Collateral

 

The new memo was issued by acting ICE director Todd Lyons and submitted to a federal court in Minnesota. Its contents were first reported by The New York Times.

The memo suggests the rules are designed to give ICE greater flexibility to quickly arrest unauthorized immigrants who are not the original targets of an operation but are nonetheless encountered and found to have violated U.S. immigration law. 

Those detentions are known as "collateral arrests," and typically involve immigrants accused of civil immigration violations but who lack serious criminal histories or any at all.

Under U.S. immigration law, immigration officers typically need an administrative warrant before making an arrest. Those warrants are signed by employees of ICE, typically agency supervisors, and not judges, unlike judicial warrants.

But the law allows immigration agents to conduct warrantless arrests if they suspect someone is in the U.S. illegally and determine that person is likely to escape before a warrant can be issued.

Through his memo, Lyons broadened the interpretation of "likely to escape," " That prior interpretation of "likely to escape" was based on a determination that someone was a "flight risk," or unlikely to comply with immigration proceedings, like attending court hearings.

Half Price..

 

In early February 2025, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer held a press conference in his Manhattan office where he used an avocado, a lime, and a bottle of Corona beer as props to warn that proposed tariffs by President Donald Trump on Mexico and Canada would increase consumer prices. 

Schumer was addressing new tariffs on   Mexico and Canada, which he labeled a "Trump Super Bowl tax," noting that these items are key staples for Super Bowl parties.

"It's going to affect your guac, because what is guacamole made of? Avocados," Schumer said. He added that the tariffs would impact "higher prices for New Yorkers, higher prices for Americans".

Schumer's visual demonstration was criticized by comedian Jon Stewart, who mocked the tactic on The Daily Show by questioning the effectiveness of having the Senate leader explain that guacamole is made of avocados. 

Comment: Shop rite sells 6 Avocados for $3.  Just a thought.

Budy builder..

 WORLD champion bodybuilder Jason Lowe has died at the age of 38.

The sad news was confirmed in a series of Instagram posts last week by his wife, Ashley friend who started a GoFundMe page on behalf of Ashley and the rest of the Lowe family said his passing had been “unexpected”.

Lowe, from Florida, was well respected in the weightlifting community.

According to Dave Palumbo, via the RX Muscle YouTube channel, Lowe was training with a client when he suddenly “dropped”.

Tributes were echoed across the bodybuilding community.

Moderate..

 

Long Island’s two House Dems defied their party’s leaders last week to back a GOP-led spending bill that pumps more cash into ICE — sparking outrage from the left demanding they be booted from office.

Reps. Laura Gillen and Tom Suozzi — two proudly self-described “moderate” Democrats representing large portions of Long Island — joined their Republican colleagues Thursday in passing a $64.4 billion funding package for the Department of Homeland Security that includes about $10 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The pair’s votes, which helped the bill pass the House 220-207, has sparked sharp pushback from many Democrats who are now publicly calling for the pair to be challenged in their primary races.

Snow..

“Age is just a number” mindset is fantastic. 

But one place it does not apply is when it comes to shoveling snow, which so many of us do every winter: The incidence of sudden heart attack spikes some 16% in men of a certain age when it snows, particularly if it’s a big storm, leading to a 34% rise in deaths, a large, two-decade Canadian study found.  

Let’s start with the fact that wet snow is heavy. In one study on men, the average shovelful of snow weighed 16 pounds. “That’s 16 pounds per shovel, 12 lifts a minute for 10 minutes,” says Barry Franklin, Ph.D., a spokesperson for the American Heart Association and director of Preventive Cardiology and Cardiac Rehabilitation, Beaumont Health in Royal Oak, MI. That adds up to almost 2000 pounds, the weight of a subcompact SUV.

 A different study conducted by Franklin and his team years ago found that a shoveler’s heart rate increases up to 97% of his max heart rate, more than when the same person does a treadmill test at maximum exertion.

Secondly, snowstorms happen when it’s, well, cold. When you huff and puff in that cold air, your blood vessels constrict, making it harder for blood to circulate around your body. This raises your blood pressure, making it even harder for your heart to get enough blood, he says.

Defund..

 

Former Mayor Bill de Blasio’s son was among the rowdy anti-ICE protesters taken into custody after a raucous demonstration at a Manhattan Hilton hotel Tuesday, The Post has learned.

Dante de Blasio, 29, was cited for trespassing and disorderly conduct after police moved in on the mob, which mistakenly believed federal immigration agents were holed up at the Hilton Garden Inn in Tribeca, sources said.

In all, 66 protesters were taken into custody, with only two being issued desk appearance tickets while the rest received summonses, according to police.

De Blasio, a Yale grad who was paid $650 a week to help out on his dad’s botched presidential bid in 2019, was issued a summons and released, according to sources

Comment:

When the police enter a location, you know it is organized and for a purpose. When a mob enter a place, or location, you don't know anything.

The mob or the police. You make your comfort zone who to defund. The Democratic party want to defund the police, and Abolish ICE.  Just a thought..

Values..

 

Former CNN host Don Lemon has been arrested after he entered a Minnesota church and filmed anti-immigration enforcement protesters as they disrupted a service.

Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents on Thursday night while in Los Angeles covering the Grammy Awards, according to a statement from his lawyer Abbe Lowell.

In his own defence, Lemon said in a recent video: "Once the protest started in the church, we did an act of journalism, which was report on it."

President Donald Trump's administration initially sought to charge eight people involved in the Minnesota church protest, citing a law that protects people in places of worship.

Is this what the American values stand right now?   Just a thought.
