Black Flag

How is this done?

If the government loses the case, Black Flag would prefer it be on the merits and that they be left without an excuse like "the judge didn't give us enough time."

The one that bothered Black Flag was when he saw his congressmujer Delia Ramirez spewing an endless stream of derision and derangement. https://ramirez.house.gov/media/press-releases/joint-session-coalition-house-democrats-demands-president-trump-comply-court and https://ramirez.house.gov/media/press-releases/house-democrats-allies-stand-sanctuary-city-mayors-demand-congress-protect She is the same one that talked about skipping the inauguration because she felt unsafe. https://www.dailyherald.com/20250115/nation-and-world-politics/i-would-feel-unsafe-some-suburban-reps-plan-to-skip-trumps-inauguration/ To add insult to insult, español antes inglés en los estados unidos ?? https://ramirez.house.gov/conozca-sus-derechos-know-your-rights

And we now know how important it is to not have those records just laying about when Soviet, Cuban and Sandinista troops come to Your Town.

What is she charged with?

At least one (D)im realizes the optics are really bad on that. Black Flag found this today on a IL (D)im Legislative Clown Blog. https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?GA=104&DocTypeID=SB&DocNum=143&GAID=18&SessionID=114&LegID=157357 Short Description: JUDICIAL CAMPAIGN REFORM Senate Sponsors Sen.

News article: https://www.wcia.com/news/capitol-news/illinois-bill-looks-to-minimize-private-donors-influence-on-judicial-elections/ SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WCIA) —Illinois judicial campaigns have become very expensive, with interest groups and wealthy donors throwing around lots of cash to get their favorite judge on the bench. This has raised questions about the fairness of the election and money’s influence on the campaign. Sen. Rachel Ventura (D-Joliet) filed a bill looking to reduce the influence of private donors in Supreme Court and Appellate Court races. This will allow candidates to use public funds instead of interest group funds. She filed the bill in response to the record-breaking amount of money spent in the 2022 Illinois Supreme Court Elections. She said this legislation would keep judicial elections balanced and the candidates wouldn’t feel like they are indebted to a single person or organization. “The goal is to allow all judges to have the same opportunity, “ Ventura said. “And to get rid of that kind of off-putting feeling that someone is donating to a judge who may then later be making decisions that harm or hurt them or help them.”

So would I.

[my question is... how? My second question is... does Trump know about this deal?] https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-says-americans-may-feel-pain-trade-war-with-mexico-canada-china-2025-02-03/ U.S. tariffs on Mexico paused for a month after border deal, Trump says WASHINGTON/BRUSSELS, Feb 3 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump has paused new tariffs on Mexico for one month after Mexico agreed to reinforce its northern border with 10,000 National Guard members to stem the flow of illegal drugs, particularly fentanyl, he said on Monday. The agreement also includes a U.S. commitment to act to prevent trafficking of high-powered weapons to Mexico, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on X. The two leaders spoke by phone on Monday, just hours before U.S. tariffs on Mexico, China and Canada were set to take effect. [OK, how? maybe by disbanding the ATF. and building a wall. I'm fairly certain there is no trade agreement between USA and the drug cartels.] ------------------------- https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/03/trump-tariffs-mexico-canada-china-sheinbaum-responds.html Sheinbaum first disclosed the pause in a post on the X social media site. “We had a good conversation with President Trump with great respect for our relationship and sovereignty; we reached a series of agreements,” Sheinbaum wrote in the tweet, according to a translation from Spanish. She also wrote, “The United States is committed to working to prevent the trafficking of high-powered weapons to Mexico.” Trump had not mentioned a commitment to stem the flow of weapons in his Truth Social post about his conversation with Sheinbaum.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/trump-tariffs-take-aim-trade-loophole-used-chinese-online-retailers-te-rcna190386 Trump tariffs take aim at trade loophole used by Chinese online retailers like Temu and Shein Lawmakers have zeroed in on the “de minimis” provision in recent years, arguing it has helped Chinese e-commerce companies undercut competitors with lower prices. President Donald Trump’s tariffs against China, Canada and Mexico target a trade provision that helped fuel the explosive growth of budget online retailers, including Temu and Shein. Trump on Saturday signed executive orders imposing tariffs on the country’s top three trading partners. Goods imported from Canada and Mexico will be slapped with a 25% tariff, while goods from China will be charged a 10% tax. Energy resources from Canada will have a lower 10% tariff. The duties are expected to take effect on Tuesday. The orders against China, Canada and Mexico all halt a trade exemption, known as “de minimis,” which allows exporters to ship packages worth less than $800 into the U.S. duty free. The de minimis provision has existed since the 1930s, but its use has come under increasing scrutiny in recent years. The Biden administration took steps last September to curb the “overuse and abuse” of de minimis, arguing it has helped Chinese e-commerce companies undercut competitors with lower prices. Officials have also argued that de minimis shipments are “subject to minimal documentation and inspection,” raising product safety concerns. The U.S. processed more than 1.3 billion de minimis shipments in 2024, according to data from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency. That’s up from 139 million a year in 2015, the CBP said. The loophole has enabled low-cost e-commerce companies like PDD Holdings-owned Temu, Shein and Alibaba’s AliExpress, which all have links to China, to offer a virtual smorgasbord of cheap apparel, household items and electronics, such as $15 smartwatches and $3 shoes.

OK, then it's easy, based on the data presented here by the State's IDPH, all they have to do is make it illegal to be a non-hispanic black or hispanic between the ages of 10-50 in Chicago or Alexander Co and they'll have this thing all cleaned up.

I'm tired of all the apathy.

But the Washington State Patrol, which administers the background check system, says there's no timeline for restoring the SAFE system and resuming background checks on firearm transfers. The Patrol's "Enterprise Data Repository" is among the systems affected after the Administration of Courts detected what it's calling "unauthorized activity" earlier this month, which led to administrators taking their network offline.
