Keeping score:
- Bondi (DOJ): 1, with an assist from John Fetterman, Democrat senator from Pennsylvania
- Sovereign District of New York (SDNY): 0

- Nissan is close to bankruptcy --
- as a last ditch, Nissan considered -- or Honda considered -- merging the two companies (Honda would acquire Nissan) -- anyway -- something to that effect --
- Honda has ended that discussion
- it's now being reported that Nissan may not be able to survive if tariffs on autos coming out of Mexico go into effect
- Nissan's CEO Makota Uchida says the manufacturer may have to shift its production outside of Mexico (and into the US)
- Nissan currently ships 320,000 autos annually from Mexico to the US
- Trump would no doubt carve out an exemption for tariffs on Nissan if within three months, Nissan provides a "good-faith" plan to move such production;
- perhaps a production deal with Ford or GM in Detroit, or with one of the numbers auto manufacturers in southeast US
- so, the big question: would US unions be happy with this development were it to come to pass? LOL -- this is a no-brainer.
- at some point, US union leaders are going to ask the Dems -- what have you ever done for us???
Deportations

Tonight, February 16, 2025: truly amazing ...
Original Post
All week I've been reading in the legacy media that deportations are "way behind expectations."
Then we get this:
This past week was only Trump's third week and already folks were comparing his deportation stats, saying stats were not as good as Trump's team had predicted / hoped for.
That is just one data point -- number of deportations.
Deportations are just one leg of the three-legged stool when dealing with the southern surge, human trafficking, and fentanyl.
One year ago, Biden had no opposition with regard to his deportation plan -- mostly because he didn't have one.
Trump's numbers are more than double Biden's per the headline -- Biden had four years to do something about this -- four years to manage this. He had no opposition. He was THE MAN. Not only did he not do anything, but his "czar" never even visited the southern border -- maybe near the end, during the campaign she finally visited. Once.
And now this, the screenshot above.
Better numbers than we were being told despite the fact that Trump's team is "fighting":
- progressive judges;
- sanctuary cities;
- local law enforcement refusing to assist ICE; some actively resisting ICE;
- activists actively advising criminals how to avoid ICE;
- the same activists alerting criminals on when and where ICE is going to show up;
- foreign governments not eager to help; some foreign governments actively resisting; and,
- the list goes on and on.
One has to ask: why was deporting criminals who were illegally in the states not a priority for the Biden team?
When my kids / grandchildren have a question they can't answer, I tell them to a) google it; or, b) follow them money.
In this case, googling won't help. But following the money will tell you exactly what's going on.
