“I Don’t Give a S**t What People Think”, Homan’s Border-to-Chicago Blitz
The Border Czar Just Drew Blood in Chicago
Good Morning, it’s Thursday, September 3rd, 2025.
Homan torches the left, Xi flexes nukes, and Florida rips up mandates.
You’re getting the playbook before cable news wakes up. Trump’s border chief is moving troops into Chicago, Beijing just rolled out a nuclear triad with robot wolves, and Florida is gutting every vaccine mandate left on the books. The headlines look scattered — the pattern is power shifting, fast.
This is how narrative control really works.

Homan Goes Full Send on Chicago Crackdown
Trump’s border chief says results first, feelings later.
D.C. is buzzing after Tom Homan torched the safe-space narrative at NatCon, touting a historic border clampdown and previewing a Chicago blitz that’s already setting off alarms at Navy Pier to Springfield. Strap in — the numbers, the plan, and the fallout all hit today. Share this with one person who still thinks “sanctuary city” is a security strategy. And hit reply with your take — we read every note.
“I don’t give a s**t what people think”: Homan outlines the win — and the next strike
What you need to know: At the National Conservatism conference in Washington, border czar Tom Homan said illegal crossings have cratered and confirmed Chicago is next for a surge of federal enforcement — including staging support via Naval Station Great Lakes.
Why it matters:
The administration is testing an aggressive sanctuary-city playbook in America’s third-largest city — and daring blue-state leadership to stop it.
If the numbers hold, Republicans get the crime-and-border argument they’ve wanted since 2020 — with receipts.
The left’s narrative whiplash: “militarization” vs. “making streets safe again.” Expect lawsuits and televised standoffs.
The Real Story:
Homan didn’t hedge. He credited Trump, Border Patrol, and ICE for a “most secure border” and claimed illegal immigration is down 96% — pairing that with blunt talk about reduced trafficking, assaults, and cartel revenue when crossings plunge. He also previewed “flood the zone” tactics for Chicago — massed DHS teams, fast removals, and pressure on non-cooperative local agencies.
On the ground, DHS requested limited support at Naval Station Great Lakes to house logistics for an expanded enforcement footprint. Local outlets and base spokesmen say facilities and infrastructure are being queued; Fox and CBS Chicago report September support windows. Illinois’ governor and Chicago’s mayor are signaling defiance. Translation: federal-state collision course.
Trump separately green-lit National Guard planning tied to crime control in Chicago — a move likely to trigger legal tests over federal authority. Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson are already lawyering up while community groups prep “know your rights” operations. The politics writes itself: law-and-order muscle versus sanctuary symbolism.
What They Don’t Want You To See:
“We’re going to flood the zone… In Chicago, it’s coming.” — Tom Homan at NatCon, doubling down on the Chicago surge.
Bottom Line:
Homan isn’t pitching vibes. He’s promising arrests, removals, and a Chicago demo that will define 2025’s security debate. If the crackdown sticks and crime stats cooperate, the narrative shifts from “controversial” to “contagious.” Watch Democratic mayors blink.
Beijing Rolls Out the Big Guns — Literally
China flaunts a full nuclear triad, lasers, and “robot wolves.”
Xi stood in Tiananmen Square beside Putin and Kim to unveil China’s first public land–sea–air nuclear triad: DF-5C ICBMs (MIRVs, “Guam killer”), JL-3 sub-launched missiles, and the air-launched Jinglei-1. The parade — marking the 80th anniversary of victory over Japan — doubled as a geopolitical flex at the U.S. and a warning to Taiwan.
The hardware menu was built for headlines: truck-mounted lasers (LY-1) meant to blind drone sensors, AI undersea drones, including a 65-foot AJX-002 that experts say could carry nukes, hypersonic anti-ship missiles (YJ-17/YJ-21), a new Type-100 tank, and swarms of “robot wolves” for recon and mine-clearing. China also touted new space/electronic warfare, and cyber units. Roughly 10,000 troops marched before 50,000 spectators.
Xi pitched “national rejuvenation” and a new world order against “hegemonism.” Trump shrugged at the spectacle — “impressive,” sure, but transparent — and jabbed Xi for courting Putin and Kim while airbrushing America’s WWII role.
Experts split the difference: RAND’s Timothy Heath says the debut signals credible threats to U.S. warships and Taiwan; Taiwan-based analyst Chieh Chung cautions some systems look operational on paper and may still be field-testing.
Bottom Line: China didn’t just parade — it messaged: anti-access bubbles, political solidarity with Moscow and Pyongyang, and Home Shopping Network–style deterrence for regional clients. Some kit may be premature, but the trajectory is clear — faster, farther, and meant to keep U.S. carriers and allies second-guessing.
Florida Moves to Nuke Every Vaccine Mandate
DeSantis and Ladapo go for the jugular — “every last one of them.”
Florida’s Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Gov. Ron DeSantis and declared war on government control: the state will work to eliminate all vaccine mandates from its laws — COVID, flu, you name it. The crowd erupted as Ladapo hammered the point: “Every last one of them drips with disdain and slavery.”
Why this matters:
It cements Florida as ground zero for personal liberty battles in health policy.
It directly rebukes Biden-era overreach, when OSHA tried to force 84 million Americans to take the jab until the Supreme Court shut it down.
It pushes back against the CDC’s attempts to normalize COVID shots for kids — a move now being unwound under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
The real impact: Florida is setting a precedent that blue states will sneer at but red states may replicate. If successful, this kills any future attempt to sneak mandates back under the guise of “public health emergencies.” And politically? It puts Democrats in the awkward spot of defending coercion over choice — a loser’s frame heading into 2026.
Bottom Line: Florida just fired the opening shot in the next culture war front — bodily autonomy for the right, not the left.

Court Slaps Trump’s Wartime Deportation Power
A federal appeals court just ruled that Trump cannot fast‑track deportations of Venezuelan gang members under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act — because, surprise, we’re not at war. The 2‑1 split came from the Fifth Circuit, which said gang activity doesn’t qualify as a wartime “invasion or predatory incursion.” That blocks mass deportations from Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. The decision reins in bold executive overreach and throws the case likely all the way to the Supreme Court. Deportations can still resume under standard immigration law—but the shortcut is gone.
Portland Mayor Unmoved by Guillotine Chaos
After Labor Day’s anti‑ICE protest descended into guillotine theatrics and clashes with police, Portland’s mayor doubled down on sanctuary policies. He made it clear: local police will not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement in any circumstances. Despite the violent scene—complete with symbolic executions—the mayor defended sanctuary vows, planning tabletop drills with city and congressional allies to manage fallout. The message: Portland will not bend, even when the policy plays out on the streets in full spectacle.
Feds Sink Cartel’s Meth Pipeline — 1,300 Barrels Seized
Federal agents intercepted 1,300 barrels of meth-making chemicals—from benzyl alcohol to N-Methylformamide—en route from China to the Sinaloa Cartel in Mexico. That haul could’ve yielded 420,000 pounds of meth, worth a staggering $569 million on the streets. The bust is being hailed as the largest-ever precursor seizure aimed at a foreign terrorist organization. Authorities say hitting supply lines is smarter than chasing finished drugs. The U.S. Treasury also slapped sanctions on the Chinese chemical supplier, dialing up pressure on Beijing’s role in fueling America’s drug crisis.

Classified, Now Unsealed
“We have the most secure border in the history of the nation. Illegal immigration is down 96%.”
— Tom Homan, Border Czar, National Conservatism Conference, Sept. 3, 2025
📎 Declassified Note: Internal DHS briefings confirm “Operation Flood the Zone” is already underway in Chicago, with 200+ DHS agents staging from Naval Station Great Lakes. Target lists prioritize violent offenders, cartel affiliates, and gang leadership.
Takeaway: This isn’t rhetoric — it’s a federal strike package mapped and moving.

Trump’s Courtroom Revolution: How One Man Bent the Bench
Forget the cable chatter — the real Trump show is happening behind the mahogany doors of America’s courts. This week, The Ledger unpacks how the president has re-engineered judicial power, stacking loyalists, exploiting the Supreme Court’s “shadow docket,” and turning legal fights into political weapons.
Inside the issue:
Judicial Muscle: Trump’s hand-picked judges green-lighting aggressive deportation drives.
Shadow Play: How late-night Supreme Court rulings fast-track his agenda.
Alliance Power: The Trump-Kennedy MAHA partnership rewriting regulatory law.
Some call it an existential threat. Others, a masterclass in executive dominance. Either way, the gavel now sounds a lot like Trump’s voice.
👉 Read the full breakdown in The Ledger and see how the courtroom is becoming the front line of 2025.
Thanks for making it to the end of today’s Briefing. The swamp would rather you scroll TikTok than see the raw playbook — Chicago raids, China’s robot wolves, Florida gutting mandates, and Trump’s court machine all moving at once. That’s the kind of intel that changes how you argue at the dinner table and how you vote in the booth. Share this with the friend who still thinks “sanctuary city” is a policy, not a punchline.
~ Scott 🇺🇸
P.S. Here’s my take: Homan’s blunt “flood the zone” pledge isn’t just rhetoric — it’s a stress test for blue-state defiance. If Chicago cracks, the dominoes fall in New York, L.A., and beyond. What do you think — are sanctuary mayors going to fight, fold, or spin? Hit reply and tell me what you’re seeing.
