A Veteran Analysing

Did the ICE agent was it really 16:16 smart to be like directly in front of 16:18 the vehicle if you thought there was a 16:20 chance it was going to flee? Probably 16:22 not, right?

...

Is it a smart idea to 16:36 flee federal agents in your SUV? Also 16:39 not a good idea, right?


Analyzing THAT Minneapolis ICE Video

[A highlight on Jonathan Ross:

While Ross’ name has been widely reported, the DHS has, so far, refused to “expose the name of this officer,” DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. But the agency has confirmed that Ross was seriously injured in June while trying to arrest an immigrant who had refused to get out of his car.

In both cases, Ross was confronting a driver at the wheel of a vehicle.

In the June incident, Ross broke the window of a car when the driver refused to exit the vehicle and then found himself being dragged at least 50 yards when the driver hit the gas.

OK. Was it really smart to crush a car window and stick his arm in?]

What Does the Law Say About the ICE Shooting in Minnesota?
Washington Gun Law | 9 janv. 2026

7:06 If we see the event from both angles, what the second video doesn't show is, while he was in front and was "kicked" by the vehicle, which the first video doesn't show, [what the first video does show is] she was turning the other way, he came in from the left (and he actually chose to go in there in front of the vehicle) and she turned to the right.

7:31 The shot was fired when the ICE officer was already safe, because the vehicle had already rolled away from him.

@torpedo1306
That is very short sighted of you, that officer would've had no idea which direction that woman was going to go. The officer was more than justified to protect himself from that woman's poor decision making.

@hglundahl
@torpedo1306 Whether he was subjectively justified or not, my point is, he was not objectively so.

@torpedo1306 However, I think he could feel she was rolling away.


10:04 From the other angle, second video, it may look as if accelerating in his direction, but given the first video, first, it shows he was stepping in front of the car, from the left, second, it shows the car was turning to the right, away from him.

The first video doesn't do justice to the fact he was touched, the second doesn't do justice to the fact she was avoiding to touch him more than (from her pov) necessary to get away.

11:25 Courtroom ... like where ICE officers have typically not been allowing deportees to go until they were already deported?

Under the pretext (perhaps not theirs) that due process applies only to US Citizens, because others are not under American jurisdiction (well, if so, why is ICE applying American any kind of jurisdiction?).

15 persons have died in ICE custody, according to their statistics, since the policy change. Here is one of them, in their own words on the "immigration history", the Haitian Ms BLAISE, Marie Ange:

On February 12, 2025, the United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
encountered Ms. BLAISE at Henry E. Rohlsen International Airport, located in
Saint Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, while attempting to board a flight to Charlotte,
North Carolina. CBP transferred Ms. BLAISE to Juan F. Luis Hospital and
Medical Center, in Saint Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, for elevated blood pressure
(BP).
• On February 13, 2025, Ms. BLAISE was charged with removability by CBP.
• On February 14, 2025, ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Miami
assumed Ms. BLAISE’s custody and detained her at San Juan Staging Facility,
located in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and later transferred her to Miami Staging Facility,
in Miami, FL.
• On February 21, 2025, Ms. BLAISE was transfered to Richwood
Correctional Center (RCC) in Oakdale, LA.
• On April 5, 2025, ICE transferred Ms. BLAISE to Broward Transitional Center
(BTC), located in Pompano Beach, Florida (FL).


Adding: Date of Death: April 25, 2025

No criminal history.

Criminal History
N/A


She was detained for 73 days, no process, and moved around more than once, which would not have facilitated getting one.

I think it is fair to say, ICE has done quite a few bad things. And these 15 deaths do not take into account what may have happened that time when instead of repatriation, people were flown to a country in Africa.

Lofton Struggles to Understand the Essence of AI


ChatGPT Says the Mark of the Beast Is Coming Soon (NOT Clickbait)
Reason & Theology | 13 Aug. 2025
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eklCZZOhIoo




13:32 Have you ever asked how much mathematics an abacus* understands?

An abacus can do mathematics, or better, you can do mathematics on it, but it doesn't understand mathematics.

ChatGPT can understand neither language nor logic.

Interesting test case.

Trent Horn claimed (I think twice even) that Cardinal Baronius (a very holy man, disciple of St. Philip Neri, also pretty crucial in Apologetics contra Lutherans on the terrain of history) had said "the Bible tells us how to go to Heaven, not how the heavens go" ....

The immediate search on google for the phrase was in Galileo quoting it to Duchess Christina. However, Galileo didn't specify either in what context or what Church man he was quoting.

On Quora I posed the question "is there any early source that it was Cardinal Baronius who said etc."

Now, I have got so far no answers. But, there is a Quora bot, pretty similar to ChatGPT. It kept circling back to the Galileo letter which I already knew didn't mentioned Baronius by name. It wouldn't have done so if it understood the terms of the question. However, what such bots are programmed to do is copy text and especially copy probable continuations of any phrase already given (including questions, obviously).

So, ChatGPT is giving you the answers people are giving on the internet.

15:24 The answer pretty obviously means, from someone's side, "given the hypothesis of Christianity, x is likely" ...

And when I say "someone" I don't mean ChatGPT but a programmer.

16:45 The machine is neither confused nor lying.

It's simply not conscious at all.

That you presume to do theology apparently without knowing that is however either confused or facetious in your case, since you are conscious.

21:26 Popularity leads to frequency of an answer being written online.

Frequency of an answer leads to higher likelihood of ChatGPT sharing it.

Or do you believe it's 23:16 simply a sign that AI isn't yet fully 23:18 consistent and reliable and is open to 23:21 manipulation?


23:18 Did you say "isn't yet"?

Will never be, more like it.

Are You In A Cult For Being Christian or Close? For Believing Actual Christian Tenets?


One tenet is, you need to go to Church on Sunday (if you can). See this video about the situation in Duisburg:

'It's All Part of God's Plan' - How a German Church is Growing Despite Persecution and Assault
CBN News | 8 Jan. 2026
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNjHhx31DEM


Since only 2:30 about 5% of Germans attend church, a 2:33 successful church here can raise 2:35 suspicions that it's a cult using 2:38 psychological pressure, forcing people 2:40 to attend.


[This quote is also an excellent descriptor of Sweden. If you say you are Catholic, so far no problem. But if you say "abortion is murder and should be banned and punished," Swedes will take you for a Cultist. If you say "God is real, He is proven by His Creation, Evolution doesn't work, Heliocentrism is counterintuitive and unproven," again, Swedes will take you for a Cultist.]

[The following is for anyone, Germany or Sweden, who pretends it is absurd or due to sectarian undue pressure to consider the Modern Liturgy as having a Masonic origin:]

Focussed Attention, Rosary, Hrushiv


The Rosary Prayer Technique That Terrified Intelligence Agencies
Totus Catholica | 8 Jan. 2026
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgpaD6U2Twk


[This Kenyan doesn't do his case to the full]


2:52 Jesus never said any word about "repetition" in Matthew 6:7.

Battalogein or battologein literally translates as "stutter-speak" and while the Vulgate translates "wordiness" (nolite multum loqui), other old translations (Coptic and Syriac) translate "don't stutter" (I've asked this of people who know these languages).

What does stuttering, many words, and "like the heathen" have to do with each other?

Well, get into trouble with school rules, imagine you're not best pals with the principal, and you will, before him, stutter and add explanation on explanation. You would only repeat yourself if you weren't very inventive, but you would add lots of explanations. And that is how the heathens approached their gods. It doesn't refer to Hindus or Muslims. It refers to Greco-Roman heathen, and we have real examples, like the very same year, Velleius Paterculus finished his II book of Roman History with, precisely, a prayer. It is not repetitive in words. But it adds trial on trial, hoping not all will be errors. Because principals and pagan gods (i e demons) sometimes take fun in deliberately misunderstanding someone, and well, the point is, God is not like that.

3:35 That man [Wojtyla] was not Pope.

The Rosary has 15 mysteries, not 20.
