Ain't That America: Major Jason Watson Was Arrested

Last week Major Jason Watson, an active-duty Air Force officer, stood on the Capitol steps and held up a sign that read: Impeach, Convict, Remove.

He didn’t even put it down when police handcuffed him.

Major Watson has worn the uniform for over twenty years and risked his career, his pension, and his own freedom to say out loud what most of Congress won't.

He wasn't breaking any rule when he started. Demonstrating on the Capitol steps is legal, but only if a sitting member of Congress is standing with you. Texas Democratic Representative Al Green stood by Major Watson’s side.

For as long as Green stood beside him, a man in an Air Force uniform holding a protest sign was perfectly within the law … but then Green walked away. And the moment he was gone Capitol Police told Major Watson to stop or be arrested. He did not stop and he was arrested and booked under a statute called Crowding, Obstructing, and Incommoding, and led him off the steps of the very building he swore an oath to protect.

Major Watson is on leave from his post as a logistics readiness officer in Poland. He isn't a Democrat and says he knows next to nothing about Congressman Al Green's politics. But what he does know is that thirteen American service members are dead after strikes on Iran and Venezuela that Congress never voted for, and that the Constitution he memorized gives the power to start those wars to the Capitol, not the Oval Office.

So he came to the Capitol and said it to their faces.

A military pension is not a small thing to gamble. Neither is a criminal record. Watson bet both on the chance that a few members of Congress might feel some shame watching an active-duty airman get cuffed for holding a piece of cardboard.

The odds are not good. Green forced a vote on impeachment this year and the House killed it 237 to 140; two dozen Democrats crossed the aisle to make sure it never reached an up-or-down count.

Major Watson accused the president of shredding the Constitution, which he did, and  left the Capitol in handcuffs. He walked up to the most powerful government on earth with a scrap of cardboard and an oath he wouldn't break, and dared it to arrest him for reading the Constitution back to its face.

And it did.

That ain’t America.

Stand up.

Speak up.

Stand with Major Jason Watson.

CAST A GODDAMNED VOTE!!!

Bobservations

First off, thanks everyone for the birthday wishes. Tuesday was the day of my birth, but the celebration is a weeklong event. Carlos gifted me a day to myself on Tuesday as he had a conference to attend in Columbia and we will celebrate with a meal at one of our favorite restaurants in Asheville this weekend IF it doesn’t snow as predicted; in that case we’ll dine closer to home … 

So this past weekend we waited for The Storm. They said snow on Saturday with sub-freezing temperatures and then an ice storm on Sunday taking out trees and knocking out power.

Yeah; not so much. We got about an inch of snow that was gone before noon and then ice storm apparently melted before it arrived but …

On Sunday it was quite cold and Carlos decided to practice his trumpet in the sunroom with two of the four sliders open to the 20-degree air.

This from the man who drops an F-bomb every morning that the temperature is 35-degrees or less.

This from the man who sleeps under five blankets while wearing three pairs of socks, long underwear, sweatpants and a sweater.

But standing in a 20-degree sunroom? Now it was my turn for the F-bombs!

This Tuxedo Says is from August 2021 ...

Tuxedo watches a lot of CNN—like his daddy he has a wee crush on Anderson Cooper, whom he calls his Owner-In-My-Head … where does he come up with these things—and is amazed at the way Republicans think …or don’t actually think.

While we must remember Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti, ICE agents have also been responsible for the deaths of seven people of color since the first on the year.

Top Row, left to right:

Keith Porter Jr. was fatally shot by an off-duty ICE agent on New Year’s Eve outside his apartment complex. An LAPD spokesperson said Porter had fired gunshots into the air and a DHS spokesperson said the off-duty ICEstapo officer was “forced to defensively use his weapon” but offers no evidence to support that.

Parady La, Cambodian refugee, died while being held in ICEstapo custody at the Federal Detention Center in Philadelphia. He passed away after suffering severe drug withdrawal, with his family alleging medical neglect. 

Heber Sanchez Domínguez, a Mexican citizen, died while in ICEstapo custody at the Robert A. Deyton Detention Center in Georgia. The cause of death is currently under investigation. 

Victor Manuel Diaz, from Nicaragua, died in ICEstapo custody at Camp East Montana in El Paso, Texas. DHS says Diaz died of a presumed suicide but  the official cause of his death remains under investigation.

Bottom Row, left to right:

Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, from Honduras, died while under the custody of the ICEstapo after suffering a heart-related medical issue; his death is also under investigation.

Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, a Honduran citizen, died in ICEstapo custody in Texas of “complications related to congenital heart failure.”

Geraldo Lunas Campos, from Cuba,  died in custody at the ICEstapo detention center in Camp East Montana; the cause of death was "asphyxia due to neck and torso compression."

Last year, 32 people died in ICE custody, the most in a single year since the agency was created. 

Add their names to your rage.

Ticket sales for Amazon’s $40,000,000 documentary about the Slovenian Hooker’s return to the White have been, well, much like her husband’s penis, little and soft. According to one of Britain’s biggest cinema operators, Tim Richards, chief executive of Vue, just two tickets have been booked for the 6pm showing at Vue Islington on its opening evening.

Perhaps if Melanie had included her soft-core porn film as part of the documentary she might have sold three tickets.

The “No Kings” protests against the regime are returning March 28, this time with a flagship event in the Minneapolis on the heels of the ICEstapo murders on Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti.

Other demonstrations are expected again across the country.

Stand up; speak up; resist!

Thanks to Doc Heroin Addict the measles epidemic in South Carolina has spread to at least 789 people, surpassing the 2025 West Texas outbreak that sickened 762 people and killed two young girls. The majority of cases remain centered in Spartanburg County, mostly among people who were either unvaccinated or didn’t know their status.

South Carolina has long strived to be the best at something but who would have guessed it would be measles?

Good, fun news, because it has MAGAts in a giant snit, a rumor has it that Bad Bunny will wear a dress during his upcoming Super Bowl performance. And MAGAts are already ranting and raging all over X even though the story has not been substantiated.

Either way, I like the white, but the pink looks more fun, don’t you think?

Jhona Burjack is a model represented by agencies in New York, Los Angeles, Sydney, Hamburg, and São Paulo. It’s like he’s everywhere so … Would You Hit It?

Once More: This Ain't America!

It’s been a little more than a week since the ICEstapo, terrorizing the citizens of Minneapolis, murdered Renee Nicole Good, and then lied about it.

Border Barbie, Kristi Noem, claimed the ICEstapo officer, Jonathan Ross, felt his life was in danger because she was coming at him with her car and yet the shots that wounded Good—yes, she was still alive after the shooting but died before medical attention could be given to her—all came from the driver’s side window meaning Ross was next to the car and not in front of it.

Simply put, Renee Nicole Good was shot by ICEstapo agent Jonathan Ross and then left to die on the street; she was murdered.

And, of course, then came Liam Ramos, a 5-year-old preschooler, who was taken out of his father’s car upon arriving home from school and then told by the ICEstapo to knock on the door of his home asking to be let in, “in order to see if anyone else was home; the ICEstapo used an innocent child as bait.

Marc Prokosch, an attorney representing the family, said the family had an active asylum case and shared paperwork showing the father and son had arrived in the US at a port of entry, meaning an official crossing point. They did everything right … except for the color of their skin and the language they speak.

Liam and his father are now be held in a concentration camp in Texas.

And now here we are again, another citizen in Minneapolis has been murdered by the ICEstapo, shot between five and ten times, after a scuffle.

The Cankles Regime, with Fascist Kristi Noem painting  Alex Pretti as a dangerous man hellbent on violence. Sure, Alex was a gun-owning outdoorsman, but he had a right to carry a weapon; he was also a hiker, scientist, and a Veteran’s Affairs ICU nurse who helped critically ill military patients.

Noem claims Alex Pretti —according to an official DHS statement lie—approached  fully armed ICEstapo murderers with a  9mm semi- automatic weapon when actually, all he had in his hands was a camera And he was trying to help a woman that the ICEstapo had shoved to the ground. The murderers then took on Pretti, trying to force him to the ground; onlookers say Pretti told the ICEstapo he had a gun, and a permit to carry.

As many as eight agents were attempting to detain Alex Pretti, and one is seen on video emerging from the scuffle holding Pretti’s gun. That agent had bent down, reached toward Alex Pretti and lifted a gun from his back near his waistband; the agent turns and begins to walk away while holding the weapon, pointing it toward the ground.

Another agent, standing beside the agent who had Pretti’s gun, unholsters his gun at virtually the same moment and points it at Pretti’s back at close range. At least two agents are attempting to hold him down. A split second later comes the crack of the first gunshot, though the videos do not show which agent fired. Pretti gets up on one knee and falls over as the agent who had unholstered his weapon fires in rapid succession while other agents back up and also discharge their weapons.

It appears that 10 shots were fired at Alex Pretti while he was unarmed, already shot once, and laying on the ground and while a woman is heard screaming:

“What did you just do?”

According to court filings, a witness, whose name was redacted, is a physician who lives near where the shooting occurred. The witness went to treat Pretti’s wounds and said ICEstapo agents were not administering first aid:

“I was confused as to why the victim was on his side because that is not standard practice. Checking for a pulse and administering CPR is standard practice. Instead of doing either of those things, the ICE agents appeared to be counting his bullet wounds.”

Kristi Noem, Kash Patel, Leavitt, Cankles and Tiny Man Greg Bovino, playing dress up as a Nazi all say that that Pretti was the aggressor; he was “threatening” the ICEstapo; they say he came at them with a gun and they were just defending themselves; he’s a Leftist extremist; and he got what he deserved when he attacked these so-called officers.

Last week the House, with the help of these Democrats—Representatives Henry Cuellar and Vicente Gonzalez of Texas, Tom Suozzi and Laura Gillen of New York, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington, Jared Golden of Maine, and Don Davis of North Carolina—voted to increase ICEstapo funding by billions of dollars. This week the Senate is expected to vote.

In the names of Renee and Alex, call your Senators, write your Senators, Tweet at them, scream at them over social media. Demand action before other citizens are murdered in the streets.

Oh, and if you want proof that this regime doesn’t give a fuck about murdered Americans but instead blames the dead for what happened, take note that Fascist Attorney General—and just about the most hate-filled vile human alive—Pam Bondi, mere hours after the ICEstapo murdered Alex Pretti in the street, demanded access to Minnesota’s voter rolls, directly tying the Regime’s quest for voters’ unredacted personal data to its aggressive immigration raids across the state.

They’re killing Americans in the hopes of rigging elections.
