ICE Cops are Invading Homes Without Court Warrants
by Adam Dick | Jan 22, 2026

*** begin quote ***

United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) cops — often masked, out of uniform, and intent on quickly escalating the force they initiate while yelling out orders and curses — have been demonstrating over the past few months the danger of police directed to menace and suppress instead of to serve and protect.

A Wednesday Associated Press article by Rebecca Santana details one of the tactics employed by ICE cops in their rampage — storming into homes without judge-signed warrants authorizing that they may enter and for what particular purposes. The US Constitution was supposed to restrain such home invasions in the nation that rose post-revolution from the colonies that had been subjected to British soldiers operating under general warrant powers. Strict requirements were imposed in the Fourth Amendment in regard to searches and seizures. ICE, though, is bypassing that restraint in its current home invasion practices.

“Federal immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to forcibly enter people’s homes without a judge’s warrant, according to an internal Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo obtained by The Associated Press, marking a sharp reversal of longstanding guidance meant to respect constitutional limits on government searches,” wrote Santana to begin hear article. ICE cops, Santana related, are just acting under supposed authority from “administrative warrants” ICE creates for itself.

Clearly, what started out as a “great idea” (i.e., remove criminal illegals) has degraded into a <synonym for excrement> show!

I think it is fair to hold everyone in the chain of command personally —  both civilly and criminally —  liable for violation of Constitutional Fourth Amendment Rights.

If I was on a jury, then my verdicts would be influenced by these violations!

Argh!

The Dead Old White Guys would be shooting already.

SECURITY: Microsoft will provide BitLocker recovery keys to the FBI

Friday, January 30, 2026

Microsoft Confirms It Can Share Windows 11 BitLocker Keys With Law Enforcement
Arthur K
Jan 24, 2026

*** begin quote ***

Microsoft has confirmed that it will provide BitLocker recovery keys to the Federal Bureau of Investigation if presented with a valid legal request. The confirmation follows reporting that Microsoft supplied encryption keys to law enforcement during a criminal investigation in 2025.

The situation is tied directly to how Windows 11 handles device encryption by default. When a user signs in with a Microsoft Account, the operating system automatically backs up the device’s BitLocker recovery key to Microsoft’s cloud unless the user explicitly chooses another option during setup.

*** end quote ***

This is “an upsetting disclosure”. 

Computer noobs, and average Users will incorrectly assume that their “keys” are only theirs to control.

Like the bitcoin admonition, “not your keys; not your coins”, if anyone has your “encryption keys” they have your data.

The important part to be aware of is that the technology company who gives up your keys is under no obligation to inform you.  Then may even be “silenced” by the court order.

The internet, a while ago, developed the “warrant canary”, which is displayed on their website. When served with a gag order, they take the canary down.  You can be silenced but you can not be forced to display it.  Your Users can infer from its absence that you have been served.

When the Gooferment exceeds its Constitutional role, our liberty is at risk.  Hence I urge every one to display the “warrant canary” to demonstrate their commitment to the First Amendment and free speech.

“The Founders knew that a democracy would lead to some kind of tyranny. The term democracy appears in none of our Founding documents. Their vision for us was a Republic and limited government.” — Walter E. Williams

NEWJERSEY: Time to eliminate “pardons” at all levels of Gooferment

Thursday, January 29, 2026

Sleazy Democrat governor pre-emptively pardoned friend’s killer son hours before jury convicted him of hit-and-run death of pedestrian, 76
By EMMA RICHTER, US SENIOR NEWS REPORTER
Published: 12:22 EST, 21 January 2026 | Updated: 14:53 EST, 21 January 2026

*** begin quote ***

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy pre-emptively pardoned the killer son of his lawyer friend hours before a jury convicted him of killing an elderly man in a hit-and-run.

As part of his 97 pardons granted on Tuesday, the Democrat exonerated Harris Jacobs shortly before a jury found him guilty of fatally hitting Orlando Fraga, 76, with his car in September 2022.

*** and ***

According to Barbone, his client was informed by the state attorney that a pardon would be granted at 7:30 a.m. The pardon was officially issued at 8.30am by Murphy.

Barbone told the Daily Mail ‘we did not have it by the time the jury announced it had a verdict at 10am.’

Because the conviction came in, Harris’s legal team is working to vacate it ‘based on proof the pardon was granted prior to the jury’s verdict,’ Barbone added.

*** end quote ***

OK, enough of this political nonsense.  The “Governor”, and by extension the President, is not a “king” who can dispense “pardons” without any check or balance.

Let’s start with the autopen Biden pardons, and move along to Murphy’s last minute signing of what’s described as hundreds. Fact and 

The autopen espisode should mean that pardons can ONLY be signed in person during a joint session of the Legislature.  That should solve the problem of authenticity and volume of pardons.

The last minute signing frenzy means that the public may only find out after the fact and may not have the opportunity to inform their “representatives” of their opinion.

We should know what rationale was used to “grant” a pardon.  Was there a quid pro quo before or after?  Was there some “great injustice” that needed to be remedied?  Was it to recognize that a “wrong” needed to be “righted”?

When I am “king” I will have jury of my citizens advise on specific cases.

I should I’ve so long!

LIBERTY: Informed consent in medical treatment is a fundamental human right!

Wednesday, January 28, 2026

https://www.malone.news/p/bioethics-and-freedom-to-choose?publication_id=583200&post_id=185082203&isFreemail=true&r=3snn7d&triedRedirect=true

Bioethics and Freedom to Choose
Stop vaccine mandates. They are unethical, unjustified, scientifically unsound historic artifacts. Just say no.
Dr. Robert W. Malone
Jan 21, 2026

*** begin quote ***

But what do the Medical Guilds have to say about mandates and informed consent?

In its Code of Medical Ethics, the American Medical Association states:

“Informed consent in medical treatment is fundamental in both ethics and law. Patients have the right to receive information and ask questions about recommended treatments so that they can make well-considered decisions about care. Successful communication in the patient-physician relationship fosters trust and supports shared decision making.”

American Medical Association. Code of Medical Ethics: Informed Consent. 2025.

Fundamental in both ethics and law. But apparently there is an unwritten and unspoken vaccines mandate exemption.

*** end quote ***

Hard for anyone who has read about the WWII horrific “medical experiments” conducted in Germany, Japan, and the USA.  

The Tuskegee Experiment, officially known as the Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male, was a unethical study conducted from 1932 to 1972 by the U.S. Public Health Service, which observed the effects of untreated syphilis on African American men without their informed consent and without providing them treatment, even after effective medication became available

“Informed Consent” and a complete prohibition on Gooferment “research” is the only answer.

Maybe when I’m “king”, I can sign an “executive order” to mandate such.

SECURITY: Personal lesson make your User Id random

Tuesday, January 27, 2026

OK so I’ve become very lazy —  security wise.

My Frau version 2 recently got “hacked”.  Not exactly sure what or how it happened BUT, (and there is always a BIG butt), she was getting text code to confirm a password change on a financial account’s website.  She attributed to yet another credit card being “stolen”. Not sure if I agree with that. Given that she uses a childhood nickname as her User Id, then I suspect maybe the financial institution or one of its many contractors or data handlers has had a leak.

Anyway, I’ve begun changing all my User Ids from something easily know or guessable to some random string generate by my password manager. For example, instead of “myname@myemailprovider.com”, I’m now know as “Unthread1-Batch7”.

Belt and suspenders?  Maybe.  But who can tell!

RANT: Do protestors have constitutional rights to reside in America?

Federal Judge Left SHOCKED When DOJ Attorney Drops a Brutal Truth Bomb After Judge Goes on Tirade Against President Trump Regarding ‘Unconstitutional’ Deportations
by Cullen Linebarger Jan. 16, 2026 10:15 am

*** begin quote ***

A so-called federal judge was caught off guard when an administration attorney dropped a devastating truth bomb that put all of his whining over Trump to shame.

As Politico reported, a federal judge presiding over a lawsuit in Boston regarding the deportation of foreign, pro-Hamas activists went off on Trump and his cabinet on Thursday for orchestrating an “unconstitutional conspiracy” to pick off migrants.

The affected activists include Columbia University’s Mahmoud Khalil and Mohsen Madhawi, Tufts University Ph.D. student Rumeysa Ozturk, and Georgetown University academic Badar Khan Suri. These students have all issued hateful anti-American and ant-Semitic remarks, leaving other students uncomfortable.

Despite the activists having no constitutional right to reside in America, U.S. District Judge William Young, a Reagan appointee, decided to bash Trump, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

*** end quote ***

I’d suggest “no”.  

They are “guests” in our country and as such have a responsibility to refrain from involvement in our “internal affairs”.  They could become citizens and then have a right to “seek redress of grievances”. BUT, (and there is always a BIG butt), not as an invited guest permitted to be here.

As such, they should be deported IMMEDIATELY!

And, the Senate should IMMEDIATELY impeach U.S. District Court Judge William G. Young for his comments and allowing his personal opinions, which he certainly has a right to have, to insert themselves in court proceedings.  Time to bring judges in line as “impartial arbiters of law”; not emotional partisans.

Argh!

ENCOURAGING: The outcome shadows decision quality

Sunday, January 25, 2026

Book Freak #193: How to Decide
Simple Tools for Making Better Choices

*** begin quote ***

Stop “Resulting”

“Resulting” is Duke’s term for judging a decision’s quality by its outcome. A good decision can lead to a bad outcome (and vice versa) because of factors outside your control. When you overfit decision quality to outcome quality, you risk repeating errors that preceded a lucky good outcome and avoiding good decisions that didn’t work out due to bad luck.

*** end quote ***

“The quality of the outcome casts a shadow over our ability to see the quality of the decision.” — Annie Duke poker player

What a great observation!  Too often, I’ve confused the result with the decision process.  I wonder now, if I’ve been betrayed by my own paradigms?

  • Verizon is experiencing a significant service outage today.
  • Other services, including AT&T and T-Mobile, have seen smaller but still significant upticks in outage reports on Downdetector.
  • Verizon has said it’s working on a fix for its own service issues today.

CLOUD: Google is “soulless” as is Apple, Microsoft, and other Big Tech

This Google One deal is a calculated insult if you ask me
It’s a loyalty tax we all have to pay.
By https://www.androidauthority.com/author/mitjarutnik/

<< EDITOR ADDED DATE 2026-01-15>>

*** begin quote ***

However, Google is no ordinary company, and it knows it. Its strategy is simple: lure users in with promos, get them hooked on the service, entrench them in the ecosystem, and then hike up the price. Google knows that once your Gmail is at capacity and you have terabytes of photos and videos stored in its cloud service, the costs of switching are too high for most people to bear. The technical pain of migrating data to a new provider is a larger hurdle than the financial pain of a price hike. It’s a brilliant business move, but it’s predatory, and it’s exactly why Big Tech feels so soulless.

*** end quote ***

Well, I, for one, am planning to move to a NAS (Network Attached Storage) and reduce my dependence upon the Cloud.

I’m also planning to leave the Apple “Walled Garden” and Google “ecosystem”.  

I cleaning up all the shoulda, coulda, and woulda projects!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Counseling for ideological thoughts?

Thursday, January 22, 2026

https://www.vigilantfox.com/p/schools-flag-11-year-olds-as-terrorists?publication_id=975571&post_id=184483013&isFreemail=true&r=60qmwq&triedRedirect=true

Daily Pulse
Schools Flag 11-Year-Olds as Terrorists for Questioning Mass Migration | Daily Pulse

  • They’re training kids to report “bad thoughts.” One wrong move—and the system takes over.

The Vigilant Fox
Jan 13, 2026

*** begin quote ***

STORY #1 – Students are being monitored for thought crimes through a government-funded video game in UK schools.

Kids as young as 11 are warned that they could be flagged as potential terrorists simply for questioning mass migration.

The game, Pathways, puts students in control of a white character navigating so-called moral dilemmas. If they express the “wrong” opinion, share the “wrong” video, or attend a protest defending British values, their extremism meter climbs. The penalty? Counseling for ideological thoughts or a referral to PREVENT—Britain’s official counterterrorism program.

Even researching immigration statistics is treated as suspicious. If a student dares to “look into it more,” the game warns: you’re being radicalized.

Looking up the truth is now a red flag.

This isn’t education. It’s psychological conditioning—pressuring children to stay silent, conform, and report their peers for independent thought.

Maria Zeee exposes what happens after a child is flagged, and just how little power parents have once the state takes over.

*** end quote ***

Well, what do “We, The Sheeple” expect when you have Gooferment Skrules?

The Prussian model of “education” is to create cannon fodder for the Army, willing morons for the factories, and useful idiots to vote for and be led by the elite!

It’s nothing more that an “indoctrination camp”.

This was once a land where every sane person knew how to build a shelter, grow food, and entertain one another. Now we have been rendered permanent children. It’s the architects of forced schooling who are responsible for that.
