ICE ICE Bunny

Will ICE be stalkingBad Bunny at the Super Bowl?

On January 20, Liam Conejo Ramos of Minneapolis was detained by ICE and sent to a Federal facility in Texas. The thing is, Liam is only five years old.

Local school officials said ICE agents used Liam as bait. “Four children from the Columbia Heights School District have been detained by ICE,” the district said in a press release on January 21.

“Liam Conejo Ramos, a 5-year-old child, was apprehended with his father while in their driveway, just having arrived home from his Preschool classroom,” the school district said. “Another adult living in the home was outside and begged the agents to let them take care of the small child, but was refused. Instead, the agent took the child out of the still-running vehicle, led him to the door, and directed him to knock on the door, asking to be let in, in order to see if anyone else was home — essentially using a 5-year-old as bait.”

The Department of Homeland Security claimed that was a “smear” in a post on X, and Liam had been abandoned by his father, and his mother refused to take custody. It's weird that he was abandoned by his father, yet detained with him and sent to the facility in Texas. As you know, we can't believe anything that comes from Kristy Noem’s department or anyone in the Trump regime.

On January 27, a federal judge in Texas ruled that Liam and his father cannot be immediately deported and temporarily blocked their removal from the U.S. Liam and his father were released on Sunday and are now back in Minneapolis.

Rep. Joaquin Castro escorted them home and posted this photo of Liam and his dad on social media.

That's weird. Liam doesn't look abandoned by his father.

It was the first image of Liam with his Spider-Man backpack and oversized fluffy bunny hat while being detained by ICE that generated public outrage.

Apparently, ICE has a thing about Latinos and bunnies because Kristi Noem had promised that they would be stalking the Super Bowl, where Bad Bunny will be the halftime performer.

When asked on a right-wing podcast if ICE will be in attendance, Noem said, “There will be, because the Department of Homeland Security is responsible for keeping it safe.” She added in the same interview that “people should not be coming to the Super Bowl unless they’re law-abiding Americans who love this country.” You know, white people. I mean, what if you are not an American citizen but you're here legally and you really love American football?

Also, you may have noticed the ICE isn't really in the business of keeping law-abiding Americans safe

On that same goon podcast, Corey Lewandowski, an advisor to the Department of Homeland Security and famous for being a MAGA asshole, echoed Noem’s plan and said it was a “directive from the president.”

They have since become more aloof about this, but I don't see a lot of undocumented immigrants going to something like the Super Bowl. If you are going to the Super Bowl, the good news is that Donald Trump won't be going this time.

Remember, when Trump went to last year's Super Bowl and the NFL took the slogan “end racism” out of the end zone so that it would not offend him? Keep your eye on the end zone this year and see if it has returned since Trump won't be in attendance, but Bad Bunny will.

MAGA America is offended that Bad Bunny is this year's halftime performer. Donald Trump isn't pleased that Bad Bunny will be this year's halftime performer and that Green Day is the pregame performer. Green Day has criticized Trump and has recently inserted that criticism into its song American idiot, which was originally written about George W. Bush during the Iraq War. Bad Bunny performs in Espanol, which alone offends MAGAts, and has criticized Trump.

Bad Bunny's most recent criticism of Trump was yesterday at the Grammys, where he made history for winning album of the year for Debí Tirar Más Fotos (I Should Have Taken More Photos) – the first Spanish-language album to achieve the top honor.

Bad Bunny dedicated his win to “all the people who had to leave their homeland, their country, to follow their dreams.” He probably was not talking about Melania, unless it was her dream to leave her home to fuck an orange-stained billionaire shitgibbon with a bleached skunk carcass on his head. I love a beautiful romance.

During an earlier acceptance speech earlier in the evening for winning best música urbana album, he said, “We’re not savages, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans,” he said, after deploying the phrase “ICE out.”

Bad Bunny has been refusing to tour the continental United States, so ICE will not use his concerts to trap immigrants.

Bad Bunny is a legal US citizen, as are all people from Puerto Rico. Believe it or not, this is new information to a lot of MAGAts.

Melania: The reviews are in, and The Independent writes that the“First Lady is a preening, scowling void of pure nothingness in this ghastly bit of propaganda,” and, “Hitting cinemas as the streets of America remain filled with the angry and grieving, the vulgar, gilded lifestyle of the Trumps makes them look like Marie Antoinette skulking in her cake-filled chateau.”

Here in Fredericksburg, there were plenty of seats available to see “Melania” on a Saturday.

I was actually going to do a cartoon about Melania that involved Groundhog Day on Sunday, and I wrote this part of the blog beforehand. I later decided that the cartoon wasn't really that good and I should just take the day off, as I had originally planned. But I wanted to keep in this criticism of Melania. I mean, I had already put some work into it.

Thanks! I want to send a thanks to Sarah in Santa Fe, who sent me a card, a check, and is a paid subscriber. Thank you so much, Sarah.

I also received a nice note and a check from Lynn in Rhododendron, Oregon. Thank you, Lynn.

I received a check and a letter from someone who is a big deal in my industry, is kind of famous, and surprised me by knowing that I even exist. I don't think I should out this person, but I just wanted to give it some sort of a mention. In case she is reading this, a letter is coming your way.

I also want to thank Bruce Gerlach for sending me a copy of his book “Shitshow”. It also came with a few stickers, and one of them is going on my desk as soon as I can find a spot for it. Bruce said that I was an inspiration for this book, which is a huge honor. Thank you, Bruce.

This book is going to be a fun read.
