UPDATE: In emailed statement to me / @reason.com, DHS alleges that WGN-TV producer Debbie Brockman "threw objects at Border Patrol’s car and she was placed under arrest for assault on a federal law enforcement officer."

Screencap of email from DHS public affairs: Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin:

“U.S. Border Patrol was conducting immigration enforcement operations and when several violent agitators used their vehicles to block in agents in an effort to impede and assault federal officers. In fear of public safety and of law enforcement, officers used their service vehicle to strike a suspect’s vehicle and create an opening. As agents were driving, Deborah Brockman, a U.S. citizen, threw objects at Border Patrol’s car and she was placed under arrest for assault on a federal law enforcement officer.

“This incident is not isolated and reflects a growing and dangerous trend of illegal aliens violently resisting arrest and agitators and criminals ramming cars into our law enforcement officers. These attacks highlight the dangers our law enforcement officers face daily—all while receiving no pay thanks to the Democrats’ government shutdown.”

A Very Cynical Plan:

1. Lie about Antifa being real & powerful.

2. Lie about nonexistent "riots" in peaceful Democrat cities.

3. Lie that Jan 6 goons playing dress-up as ICE are sent to stop riots when they are going to start them.

4. Lie about who is funding Antifa so you can shut them down.

Americans have been telling themselves they will not live on their knees for generations going back to our Founding.

We’re gonna be testing that claim in the coming months.

they are clearly trying to terrify everyone out of showing up to the No Kings protest and I simply do not think it is going to work

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

So I guess for MAGA when a Chinese balloon goes over US airspace it’s a week straight of apoplectic comments that WW3 is starting because Biden is weak, but when Trump allows the Qataris to have an airbase in the US and fly fighter jets over our country that is America First.

Ode to the Portland frog

From the mist of the moss
And the gray Oregon rain,
Their leaps, a green hero to ease all the pain.
My love for this frog is a powerful thing,
For the justice and freedom
his ribbit can bring
