The statue of Trump and Epstein frolicking, holding hands, on the National Mall is back up!

Our illustrious Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, asked for and was denied entry to a Chicago police station to use the restroom facilities. ---

The cells have adequate - not pleasant - but adequate toilets. Perhaps touching her bare thighs onto bare metal during her squat might slightly spark a modicom of sympathy. ---

The response from Broadview, Il. is that Noem showed up unannounced just as the mayor and police chief were headed to the ICE facility to discuss the removal of the illegal fence that ICE installed. The town spokesman implied that apparently the bathrooms at the ICE facility must be inoperable. > **[Kristi Noem denied entry to Broadview building in new video; city says that's...](https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/kristi-noem-denied-entry-to-broadview-building-in-video-city-says-thats-not-the-full-story/3833371/)** > > U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem posted video Friday showing her being denied entry to the Village of Broadview Municipal Building as she arrived in the Chicago suburb to visit an ICE processing facility that has been at the center of... ---

A little bit of Schadenfreude here. In a letter to the editor (the second one down), a Trump supporter is upset that people are calling Trump supporters ‘fascists’ and ‘Nazis’. > **[Letters to The Editor: October 2-8, 2025 - The Northern Light](https://www.thenorthernlight.com/stories/letters-to-the-editor-october-2-8-2025,40848)** > > The Editor: Blaine is a beautiful town full of potential, and we need thoughtful, experienced leadership to guide its future. That’s why we are proud to support Sukhwant Gill for Blaine … Poor little snowflake got his feel-feels hurt. I called a fireman a fireman the other day, and _he_ didn’t get upset. Why shouldn’t we call fascists ‘fascists’? ---

The reason is the same one that dictates that we don’t call tax dollars that fund farms “food stamps” or “welfare”. ---

I liked this part, > President Trump has been shot in the head somehow I missed that. Yes, yes, it’s technically true, but that does not change that it’s factually wrong. ---

Any takers on how long it will be before Trump accuses the professor and students of being part of the Antifa movement, and calls for them to be arrested as “terrorists”. ---

BTW: He should not have been pepper-sprayed by that woman. He was running away, and thus was not a legitimate target. But he wouldn’t have been pepper-sprayed if he wasn’t there. FAFO, and all.
