Prediction: Some will seize on the shooting to try to pull Dems back to a position of cowardice on Trump's deportations, and Stephen Miller will scam dimwit commentators into making this case as well, but what happened ultimately won't dent public disapproval of the raids/arrests in the slightest.

“To put it more bluntly, they are killing white people, and randomly allowing their farms to be taken from them.”

“Therefore, at my direction, South Africa will NOT be receiving an invitation to the 2026 G20, which will be hosted in the Great City of Miami, Florida next year.”
Trump: The United States did not attend the G20 in South Africa, because the South African Government refuses to acknowledge or address the horrific Human Right Abuses endured by Afrikaners, and other descendants of Dutch, French, and German settlers. To put it more bluntly, they are killing white people, and randomly allowing their farms to be taken from them. Perhaps, worst of all, the soon to be out of business New York Times and the Fake News Media won't issue a word against this genocide. That's why all the Liars and Pretenders of the Radical Left Media are going out of business! At the conclusion of the G20, South Africa refused to hand off the G20 Presidency to a Senior Representative from our U.S. Embassy, who attended the Closing Ceremony. Therefore, at my direction, South Africa will NOT be receiving an invitation to the 2026 G20, which will be hosted in the Great City of Miami, Florida next year. South Africa has demonstrated to the World they are not a country worthy of Membership anywhere, and we are going to stop all payments and subsidies to them, effective immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter! 8 ReTruths 19 Likes 11/26/25, 11:41 AM

Here's how Skandalakis dismissed the harassment of Ruby Freeman: Saying it needs to be prosecuted in Cobb County.

www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
I. The victimization Ms. Ruby FreemanA genuinely sympathetic figure in this matter is Ms. Ruby Freeman. Falsely accused byRudy Giuliani and others of voter fraud, Ms. Freeman endured harassment and threatsfrom individuals who embraced the narrative that the 2020 election had been stolen fromPresident Trump. Evidence in the case file shows that the allegations in the indictmentoccurred solely in Cobb County, where Ms. Freeman resided at the time.If the RICO Count was viable in Fulton County, this would not be a problem because venuein a RICO case lies in any county in which an incident of racketeering occurred.26However, because the three people accused of the activity involving Ms. Freeman were so far removed and unrelated to the goal of the “Organization,” to unlawfully change theresults of and to stop the Vice President’s certification of the 2020 election results, I findthat these charges are too tenuous to be part of the RICO Count. As these charges shouldnot be part of the RICO Count, they cannot be used to link the alleged criminal acts inCobb County to those in Fulton County. Accordingly, the alleged crimes against Ms.Freeman must be prosecuted in Cobb County.27

This is a gross misrepresentation of what Jack Smith concluded.

www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
The strongest and most prosecutable case against those seeking to overturn the 2020Presidential election results and prevent the certification of those votes was the oneinvestigated and indicted by Special Counsel Jack Smith. Although Special Counsel JackSmith’s federal case encompassed evidence from multiple states, he ultimately concludedthe federal case could not be prosecuted because of the U. S. Supreme Court’s decision inTrump v. United States and the re-election of President Donald J. Trump.Special Counsel Jack Smith wrote in his report, “Conversely, a select few of Mr. Trump'sagents and elector nominees had insight into the ultimate plan to use the fraudulentelector certificates to disrupt the congressional certification on January 6 and willinglyassisted.... In each of the targeted states, Mr. Trump and his co-conspirators successfullyorganized enough elector nominees and substitutes to gather on December 14, castfraudulent electoral votes on his behalf, and send them to Washington, D.C., for thecongressional certification.”28The criminal conduct alleged in the Atlanta Judicial Circuit's prosecution was conceivedin Washington, D.C., not the State of Georgia. The federal government is the appropriatevenue for this prosecution, not the State of Georgia. Indeed, if Special Counsel Jack Smith,with all the resources of the federal government at his disposal, after reviewing theevidence in this case and considering the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Trump v.United States, along with the years of litigation such a case would inevitably entail,concluded that prosecution would be fruitless, then I too find that, despite the availableevidence, pursuing the prosecution of all those involved in State of Georgia v. DonaldTrump, et al. on essentially federal grounds would be equally unproductive.

This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result.

So, a senior Justice Department official — along with several members of Congress — used the authority of their offices to boost an obviously dubious conspiracy theory accusing a federal employee of a horrific crime.

And now it’s clear the allegation was baseless.
