You finally got it right. About time you improved on the geography of your favourite country.

I admit I was unaware that Richmond, CA was a sanctuary city.

Now tell me why ICE arrested illegal immigrants in San francisco, even in front of a court, but somehow the Qanon lunatic that was hoping to smash Pelosi's kneecap escapes arrest despite being known to law enforcement.
Peoples actions can never be predicted.
Massachusetts judge who helped illegal immigrant escape ICE arrest indicted, federal authority .
A Massachusetts judge and court officer accused of helping an illegal immigrant flee an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent waiting to take him into custody were indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury for obstruction of justice and three other counts, officials said.

We are talking about Richmond,California and not Richmond, Virginia or Richmond, Canada.
To admit leftists ruin things they touch seems a problem

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) -- The city of Richmond has become the fourth Northern California local government to decide to sue President Donald Trump in a bid to block an executive order that would deny federal funds to sanctuary cities and counties.


Im using google by the way if I come off ignorant.

Lol.

Tell me how the others in the screenshot were arrested. Sebi it is the same sanctuary city. Oh, those ones are not the ideal illegal immigrants. They are likely Mexicanos.

In addition, he lived in Richmond, CA (a non sanctuary city) for the past two years. They could have arrested him there nah.
RICHMOND, Va. -- President Donald Trump is stepping up U.S. immigration enforcement policies by signing two executive orders to build a wall along the Mexican-U.S. border, and step up deportation of illegal immigrants.

“We're going to strip federal grant money from the sanctuary states and cities that harbor illegal immigrants,” White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said.

At the same time, Richmond’s Mayor and Police Chief said Richmond is welcoming to all people whether they’re legal or not.

“We need to protect our children and our families so they can learn and prosper. That means protecting all of our residents… and protecting them regardless of whether they have legal status in our country,” Mayor Levar Stoney said at a graduation ceremony for a new recruit class of Richmond Police officers.

Yet, Stoney said Richmond is not a so-called sanctuary city, although the police department does not ask about the immigration status of anyone they encounter, and they also don’t always detain known illegal immigrants.

There is no formal definition of the term “sanctuary city.”

Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney and Police Chief Alfred Durham

Currently, illegal immigrants in Richmond that get arrested go to jail and are held for 48 hours until the feds can come pick them up.

In many so-called sanctuary cities, jail officials don’t even contact immigration enforcement about an individual’s immigration status.

But, CBS 6 learned Richmond Police officers do not go out checking residents’ immigration status.

In fact, Chief Alfred Durham said if one of his officers pulls someone over for a minor traffic infraction and learns they are illegal, they do not detain them.

“It’s just our policy, we don’t,” Durham said.

While Mayor Levar Stoney said Richmond is not a sanctuary city, he did say he wants his officers to protect residents whether they’re legal or not.

“I’m comfortable with people being able to live in the city of Richmond without fear of being separated from their families,” Stoney said.


Yet, Republican Delegate Riley Ingram said he thinks more should be done to enforce immigration laws, as long as law enforcement has enough money and resources to do so.

“I have to ensure the money is there and it’s not a burden on the locality,” Ingram said.

There is a Virginia House bill being considered that would bar a locality from establishing any sanctuary city policies that would restrict the enforcement of federal immigration policy.

What is not making sense about it

A mad fella broke into Pelosis house and hit him with a hammer. Nobody is saying he's a sane Republican, he's just a mad man. Mental illness usually takes the form of extremism. 10 years ago, the guy was a hippie extremism, today he's a 4Chan extremist. Mental people tend to go from.one extreme to another once a sickness takes hold of their brain. There are many far right people.right now who used to be far left. Their underlying illness is conspiracy against organised Government.
He is a 4chan extremist now?Extraporated. Right wing. Trump supporter.

As for your theory of the broken glass, I doubt Pelosi got up from the hammer blow sustained as Police were entering and started breaking glass to manufacture evidence. Third of your foolish theory that makes no sense
Im going by initial reports. Who opened the door. the pics we have is glass on the outside. The police never never reported they got in and smashed the glass from inside.
Where is CCTV footage, For a eighth of an acre I have covered the vitals Which number 3 cant?

I will not argue with your mental illness today

If security detail was with Paul, then they would be around when the Police came calling and your theory goes poof

Security detail follows the person of Pelosi who was out of town

This theory was of course kicked off by a journalist who claimed they were in underwear and has since retracted claiming it was incorrect

Wikipedia has links to source materials and Police statement and you can click through and follow. It only brings the whole sequence together with backup links, not the far-right sites where information is cherrypicked to indulge your mental illness.
Neither will I argue with you. Number 3 in line deserves protection.
Are you saying thugs can attack you. I have 2 loyal dogs, wont get a pit bull just some shepherds. I have CCTV too , three Motion detect cameras. Poor Umudike man, Pelosi cant affrord what I have.
I am sure you live in council houses where you cant do improvement.
What is your zeal to protect Paul. Ill ask this one. Is he a homo, with 2 gays in his house at 3 am?

And to report RP they found found two men struggling with a hammer. De whaver hit Paul viciously on the head and some other body parts we dont disagree
Who opened the door coz polizei actions were swift in disarming the suspect. Who is hospital as we speak and Paul could be ICU

Paul made the call. Then instead of locking himself he walked out to the living room to face the attacker.

Just something I saw on twitter .,
Paul went to the bathroom, made a call and then came out. I assume his bathroom is yuge , why he not lock himself their and wait for police who will be there in minutes.

If you remember selectively Paul Pelosi escaped DUI a few months ago afer knocking the rear of another car. Looks like he likes knocking rears

Which thug will let you out of sight for a second. A thug named Daniel who is a friend? In your home at 2,27 am? Plus there is another guy present
So much more than meets the story

Looks similar to this

LOS ANGELES – Edward Buck, a businessman and long-time figure of West Hollywood politics, was sentenced today to 360 months in federal prison for providing fatal doses of methamphetamine to two men who died at his apartment after he injected them with the drug.

Buck, 67, was sentenced by United States District Judge Christina A. Snyder. A restitution hearing in this case is scheduled for May 16.

At the conclusion of a nine-day trial in July 2021, a federal jury found Buck guilty of two counts of distribution of methamphetamine resulting in death, four counts of distribution of methamphetamine, one count of maintaining a drug-involved premises, and two counts of enticement to travel in interstate commerce for prostitution.

Beginning no later than 2011 and continuing through September 2019, Buck engaged in a pattern of “party and play,” in which he solicited men – some of whom were homeless or struggling with drug addiction – to consume narcotics that he provided and perform sexual activities at his apartment, a ritual that prosecutors argued was “more than a fetish – it was a lethal and unchecked pattern of reckless disregard for human life.”

Elon dont have 44B. Financiers are lending him. Govt under Biden lost a propaganda so they will do a colonoscopy on him to find any crime Joe Biden style.
Twitter made revenues of 7 or so B . Definitely not worth what he is paying for. But he can turn it around, let those whose snowflakes have banned be back , get rid of bots and make real $$ from adverts. I think Trump had a 80m plus followers many bots of course but he can sell say Ivanka's dress made in China to millions in a few hours. social media influencers with nothing are making a killing from selling anything on the internet

Twitter was about to fire employees. Musk said he will offload 75% of them . Lords of the universe. I been banned for promoting Ivermectin for instance.

BREAKING: Elon Musk Officially Owns Twitter – Immediately Fires CEO Parag Agrawal, CFO and Legal Head Vijaya Gadde

LordAdam16:
I know this feels like 2016 all over again, and I had a sh*t-eating grin reading cvnts like Gaade had been served pink slips.

But I'm disillusioned to these "grand actions".

I prefer deep-in-the-shadow operations, like what is being done to Ye.

If Elon fires all Twitter employees, they'd be fully absorbed by the rest of Silicon Valley. Google and Meta alone have taken up a third of up to 1100 that left already of their own volition.

Meanwhile the DOJ has started investigating Tesla and the establishment are looking into commandeering Musk's enterprises under the guise of national security.

We have very few conservative billionaires, and most of them are being bombastic, taking undue risks, and painting huge targets on their backsides. When Nixon, Reagan, the Bushes were winning; Democrat billionaires, elite, and upper middle class were underground building their networks.

That support network is massive and formidable right now. Vijay who just got fired will get a book deal, million-dollar speaking engagements, a movie or tv show, board seat on a civil society organization or educational institution, and her phone is currently blowing up with 8-figure job offers. That's on top of the more than $50m she's made in lifetime earnings at Twitter plus $12m severance package. She's set for life and her kids who'd be future Ivy-League alumni will continue from where she stopped. So even if you give her a do-over, she'd ban Trump and shut down the Hunter Biden story a million times without regrets. Heck, there are millions of conservatives who'll do the same for such rewards.

So excuse me if I feel the $45b spent on Twitter could have been spent on something better. The clean energy revolution is ongoing. China, Saudi Arabia are in on it. But leave it to the Reds to be clinging to coal and oil. Tomorrow when all the billionaires, centi-millionaires, and establishment in a projected trillion dollar industry start playing interference for the Blues who helped made them rich, conservatives will be typing thousand-words articles about vast conspiracies on sh*tty 2005-styled websites and pleading for donations.

If that $45b had been channeled into a seed fund that backs conservative entrepreneurs in strategic sectors in clean energy, we'd be talking about owning electric automobile, battery storage, recycling, power plants, mining, and more operations. These nouveau rich would be the ones backing Red protests, lawsuits, legislation, and races in the future. But no, let's do these meme-worthy zings. That's how we were in charge of IBM and Oracle, and let the likes of Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Meta and hundreds more dominate in only one decade.

Now, you can't express your reservations about kids sitting on the laps of drag queens in public discourse. But what do I know?

Elon Musk acquistion of Twatter be over tomorrow. The left has lost a huge megaphone. He walked into Twitter HQ carrying a sink, Let that sink in.
His statement reproduced below. As expected the left lost it hurling uprintables.

Elon Musk: There has been much speculation about why I bought Twitter and what I think about advertising. Most of it has been wrong.

The reason I acquired Twitter is because it is important for the future of civilization to have a common digital town square, where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner, without resorting to violence. There is currently a great danger that social media will splinter into far right wing and far left wing echo chambers that generate more hate and divide our society…

That is why I bought Twitter. I didn’t do it to make more money. I did it to try to help humanity, whom I love. And I do so with humility, recognizing that failuer in pursuing this goal, despite our best efforts, is a very real possibility.

Exactly. Anyone stupid enough to go to university just to get a degree in “gender studied” or some nonsense like that deserves all the pain of student loans. You go waste your time studying a useless course with no real world value or employability potential and then you start crying about debt an expecting hardworking people to pay for it? Ridiculous.

Listen university is not worth it if you are not going there to study a professional or technical course like medicine, law, engineering, accounting etc. anything else is just to show you attended college and no one should have to pay for that but you.
Education is the best gift to children. Today the school system looks set to be dumbed down. Useless degrees in expensive colleges because loans are available. A generation made to look zombie like. Children taught CRT. Children encouraged to change genders without informing their parents. Girls able to abort willy nilly.
We also have some educated people here who make no sense.Diversity being observed in Ivy leagues and prestigious institutions.

Growing up under all that then one ends up doing a useless degree. Joe Biden times the midterms to forgive student loans knowing republicans will largely object. Purely a vote hunt.
