per NY Times he did not work for Gov. Walz -- he served with 41 others on an advisory board. Mr. Boelter was appointed to the board in 2016 by Mark Dayton, a Democrat who was then the governor. More recently, he was appointed by Gov. Tim Walz, also a Democrat. The board has 41 members who are appointed by the governor, and its goal is to improve business development in the state. NB this is all in NYT bulletin format.

From NY Times now: David Carlson lives at an address where the police executed a search warrant for the shooting suspect, Vance Boelter. In an interview at this home, Carlson said he and Boelter had been best friends since fourth grade, and he read a text message that the suspect had sent him early this morning, saying he might be dead soon and apologizing. The message did not describe any details of the attacks that unfolded, Carlson said. Carlson said that the suspect worked at a funeral home, owned firearms and had voted for Donald Trump last year. He was a devout Christian who strongly opposed abortion, but had never mentioned either of the lawmakers who were shot, Carlson said, and had generally avoided talking about politics. His friend had been experiencing financial and mental health challenges, Carlson said.

As you said, I am upset.

Thank you . I earned it.

Per the report you replied to many illegals were working long hours at hard jobs so I guess they have to do their criminal stuff in their spare time.

Thank you -- I've done my share and beyond that "I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight".

Trump orders ICE to halt raids in agriculture, hospitality sectors amid LA protests: Report President Trump orders ICE to pause enforcement operations in agriculture, hotels, and restaurants, according to internal guidance cited by the New York Times. 14 JUN 2025 US President Donald Trump has ordered Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials largely pause raids and arrests in the agricultural industry, hotels and restaurants, the New York Times reported. The report, citing an internal email and three U.S. officials familiar with the directive, stated that Immigration and Customs Enforcement had paused certain enforcement actions. In guidance to regional department leaders, senior ICE official Tatum King said, “Effective today, please hold on all work site enforcement investigations/operations on agriculture (including aquaculture and meat packing plants), restaurants and operating hotels,” according to the Times. “We will follow the president’s direction and continue to work to get the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens off of America’s streets,” The Department of Homeland Security confirmed to NYT. https://www.moneycontrol.com/world/trump-orders-ice-to-halt-raids-in-agriculture-hospitality-sectors-amid-la-protests-report-article-13121313.html NB I read the source NYTimes on this but, if I posted from NY Times, then I would have to answer to : Well what about the LLC's and Hunters 28 laptops, huh?

She was the third largest donor to Trump's 2024 election bid, donating $106 million. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miriam_Adelson -- maybe not behind it enough.

"Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace," Trump said in the beginning of his(Truth Social) post. https://www.kcra.com/article/newsom-trump-post-immigration-policy-changes-farm-hotel/65049560

Alina Habba has fire in her eyes! I

Well, if they are still there, they had better watch out because Alina Habba is now the INTERIM US attorney for that area.

Per the original WaPo article, a bunch of them made so much under-the-table "Trump money" at Bedminster that they went back to Costa Rica and bought their own home.

More than 100 undocumented immigrants worked at Trump’s Bedminster resort during construction: report 02/08/19 Dozens of immigrants who did not have legal status worked on the construction and operation of President Trump’s resort in Bedminster, N.J., according to a new report by The Washington Post. At one time, the Post reports that more than 100 workers without legal status were under employment at the resort. Sixteen such workers from Costa Rica and other Latin American nations spoke with The Washington Post and claimed they worked previously at the Bedminster resort illegally, while some said that at one time more than 100 workers without legal status who were employed by the organization lived together. https://thehill.com/latino/429136-more-than-100-undocumented-immigrants-worked-at-trumps-bedminster-resort-during/

'Wave of panic': Businesses are in crosshairs of Trump immigration crackdown USA TODAY 12 JUN 2025 White House border czar Tom Homan warned this week that “worksite enforcement operations are going to massively expand.” In a Truth Social post Thursday, Trump acknowledged that the crackdown was hurting American employers. “Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace,” Trump wrote. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2025/06/12/trump-immigration-crackdown-rattles-businesses/84175142007/ At the White House, he told reporters he would issue an order to help address worker shortages brought on by raids of farm and hotel workers.

Well if that is true, why did he need to invoke this wartime act via proclamation:

NY Times headline just now: - Trump Shifts Deportation Focus, Pausing Raids on Farms, Hotels and Eateries - The abrupt pivot on an issue at the heart of Mr. Trump’s presidency suggested his broad immigration crackdown was hurting industries and constituencies he does not want to lose.

Says an arriviste who has been here for 2 months.

And 3 of the top 5 posters this week are pro-Trump/MAGA.

NYTimes headline today: A Sprawling Israeli Intelligence Effort Underpinned the Iran Strikes Years of intelligence collection, infiltration of Iran with commandos and weapons, and tracking of targeted commanders and scientists made the wide-ranging attacks possible. __________________ what -- no Signal chat?

From the above link: U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer had ruled that Trump's action was "illegal," but stayed his order from taking effect until 3 p.m. ET on Friday to allow the Trump administration to appeal his decision.

CNN — A federal appeals court late Thursday paused a ruling that required President Donald Trump to return control of members of California’s National Guard to the state. ________________ As per the Noem-Padilla dustup, whatever their political differences, they seem to have work things out as to how to go forward. So It would maybe be time for both sides to step back a bit.

This time Sec. Noem -- policy aside -- is acting like a grown-up and she and Sen. Padilla exchanged phone numbers per video. Per NBC: Secret Service officials told NBC News that they interviewed Padilla after the incident and quickly determined he had no intention to harm Noem. Secret Service personnel also facilitated a short meeting between Noem and Padilla.

NY Times headline NOW: - Judge Blocks Trump From Deploying National Guard in Los Angeles - The ruling orders the administration to return control of the National Guard to the California governor. It takes effect on Friday. NB Admin has immediately appealed to Ninth Circuit.
