ICE San Diego

From the Northglenn Colorado Police Department:

"It is with heavy hearts that we share the loss of one of our own, Detective Paul Gesi. Paul died last week after a long and courageous battle with severe post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). His death, a suicide, reflects the silent struggles many first responders face and is a stark reminder of the mental health challenges within law enforcement."

Rest Easy Brother. Prayers for his family of blue and blood.🙏🏻

We may never fully understand every circumstance that leads to a death by suicide.  But we do know this: PTSD is treatable. Suicide is preventable.

80 years ago today, President Truman announced Japan’s surrender, and Americans poured into the streets to celebrate VJ Day.

World War II was over.

Today in History

Re: DC... Americans have liked Trump's approach on crime. He's Air Jordan (+1 pts net approval) compared to Biden last year (-26 pts net approval).

The GOP leads by 16 pts on crime over Dems. The country is a lot more hawkish on crime than many Dems would like to admit.

President Donald J. Trump signs a Proclamation commemorating the 90th anniversary of the Social Security Act.

Here is the text of the Proclamation:

On August 14, 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed into law the Social Security Act -- a monumental legislative achievement that protects our seniors, uplifts our citizens, and sustains the livelihoods of hardworking Americans who devoted their professions to bettering our country. On the 90th anniversary of the establishment of this historic program, I recommit to always defending Social Security, rewarding the men and women who make our country prosperous, and taking care of our own workers, families, seniors, and citizens first.

To this day, Social Security is rooted in a simple promise: those who gave their careers to building our Nation will always have the support, stability, and relief they deserve. Thanks to my Administration's efforts, Social Security now stands stronger and more resilient than ever before. Following the passage of the historic One Big Beautiful Bill last month, the vast majority of seniors who receive Social Security will pay zero tax on their Social Security benefits -- the largest tax break for seniors in the history of our country.

To further strengthen Social Security, my Administration is aggressively rooting out all fraud, waste, and abuse that rob our Federal programs of resources -- including stopping payments to the deceased and eliminating benefits for those who do not legally qualify. These measures will save American taxpayers billions of dollars every year and ensure that future generations receive the benefits they spent their lives paying into. At the same time, I am making the Social Security Administration more efficient, more responsive, and more effective than ever before -- reducing wait times and delivering the payments the American people worked hard to earn. I am also proudly restoring strong border security policies to ensure that Medicare and Social Security are preserved for the citizens who paid into them -- not abused by illegal aliens who have no right to be here.

On this 90th anniversary of the Social Security Act, we recognize the countless contributions of every American senior who has invested their time, talent, and resources into our Nation's future. On this momentous milestone, we recommit to strengthening our retirement system, protecting programs like Social Security and Medicare against fraud and abuse, and ensuring that every future generation of American citizens has the income security they need and earned.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim August 14, 2025, as the 90th Anniversary of the Social Security Act.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourteenth day of August, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fiftieth.

President Donald J. Trump: "We have a meeting with President Putin tomorrow. I think it's going to be a good meeting but the more important meeting will be the second meeting... We're going to have a meeting with President Putin, President Zelensky, myself... we'll see if they can get along."

We would expect nothing less in New York... Glad the victim is okay!

Power washing the Homeless away. I spent the night on the streets and at exactly 5 AM I witnessed this. I like a queen sidewalk, but I did not see anybody make any effort to wake them up. They just sort of started cleaning and the Homeless scrambled. To the ones who refused to move, they got washed over. A homeless man said they do this to us every morning because we’re just worthless addicts.
