KJ5, ILCU returning. I'm not sure I want the final say. Let's touch on a few things. Again, not taking sides, just putting out data. Ask Agent Pay in 2025 starts at about $55,000 a year. Okay, until you make it mid-career, which takes some years, you don't even make up to $80,000 a year. Mid-career, you might get over $100,000 a year, maybe. And then senior or supervisory make up to $140,000 depending on locality. So $100,000 starting off base pay, let me know. I'll go work for them. I mean, that's decent money. That being said, let's talk about the raid in Chicago real quick because I wanted to know some quick facts on it. I know that the apartment complex in question was apparently taken over by the Trans Day O'Reilly, I can't say it, which is a declared terrorist organization. That changes things a little bit. Whether or not you believe it or not, it's a different story. It is being reported, so that's what I'm just putting out, what's being reported. So it also included ICE agents, U.S. Border Patrol, the FBI, ATF, U.S. Marshal Service, and the Department of Homeland Security as oversight. So it wasn't just ICE agents that were there. It was a raid like any other raid that federal law enforcement officers do. I mean, have you all never watched SWAT? Do you not watch, you know, cops? I'm not sure what's hard to understand when it comes to the fact that for the last 40 years, our police officers have been militarized. But back in the 80s and 90s, whenever the government was giving away these APCs and these tanks and these militarized weapons to the local law enforcement agencies, nobody was complaining back then. They were like, oh, yes, this is great for safety. However, there was lots of people that were calling on the fact that the local police officers were being militarized. And that's what happened. I mean, every damn police officer agency in the world has tanks now. They have raids through open windows and black-town doors and most of the things I did whenever I was in the military. So, I mean, we kind of called this on ourselves in my mind by allowing that to happen in the first place. But I just think it was important to talk about how the ICE raid in Chicago wasn't just the ICE raid. It was a federal raid that included up more than just five federal agencies. So I thought that was important because, you know, there's two different kinds of warrants you get to look at now, civil and criminal. I'm going to take a quick break. And then the last thing I wanted to touch upon, which I think is the most important thing, is the illusion that the Democratic-held cities or states are being targeted. That's nothing more than an illusion. The facts don't prove it. And if you can find me facts that would prove it, send it to me. Because I'm looking at stats a lot when it comes to ICE operations. And Texas, rather than that, leads the pack. One quarter of almost all ICE arrests have happened in Texas. One quarter. So it only leaves three quarters of the arrests last, right? Great state of Texas took care of a quarter of it. Good thing. Florida, California, Georgia, and Arizona come in the next tier. Okay, California is Democratic. I don't remember for Arizona. I think it's purple. Georgia is mostly Republican and Florida, of course, is Republican. So there's your top five states that are being targeted. Four out of the five, well, we'll say three out of the five are Republican. The Chicago area surge and the Portland coverage has been stepped up in activity due to protests. In Texas, they're not getting protested. Or if they are, local law enforcement is keeping it civil and nice and not a national news. Portland could do that if the Portland police officers would get involved. Chicago could do that if they would let these people do their job. And the funny thing is that everybody is like, oh, they're getting tear gassed. Because they're not following instruction. I've been watching it every single night for the last few weeks. They get out in the middle of the road, they block the right of access, and then when they get told to move, they stand there like they can't understand. So, yeah, they get moved and they should get moved in that situation. The poor people in Portland who live in the apartment complex, they are over this. Have y'all watched any or heard any of the reports from those neighbors, the people who actually lived there? Oh, they're tired of both sides, to be completely honest, and I don't blame them. But they definitely think Antifa is the worst because they have been there for months at that one facility. It's not all of Portland, it's not the facility. And the apartment complex next to it is tired of it. So there you go, there's some facts. None of that is my opinion. I did not throw my opinion in there at all. I just read facts. KJ5ILQ, y'all have a great, great Thursday.
