YOU GOTTA PUMP THOSE NUMBERS UP, THOSE ARE ROOKIE NUMBERS: Ron DeSantis: At Least 100 Detainees at Alligator Alcatraz Have Been ‘Fully Deported.’

DeSantis has continued to champion the quick work of the Florida Division of Emergency Management which transformed the existing Miami-Dade Collier Training Facility in the Florida Everglades into a deportation hub to house and process migrants illegally residing in the country. The governor previously said that deportations were already underway, noting that most of the individuals housed at the facility are military-aged males.

“These are folks — and a lot of them have of criminal records. But that’s what’s happening here, and I think it’s been very effective now,” he said.

DeSantis has since confirmed that 100 individuals who were processed and housed at the facility “have fully been deported,” noting that the Department of Homeland Security is largely handling the departures for deportation.

“There’s an aggressive… deportation schedule,” DeSantis said. “That’s what you’re seeing is starting to occur here down at Alligator Alcatraz.”

WOEING: Boeing division handling Trump fighter jet program braces for strike after union rejects contract offer.

The International Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM), representing 3,200 employees across three St. Louis-area facilities, turned down a proposal that included a 20% general wage increase over four years, a $5,000 ratification bonus and expanded vacation time and sick leave benefits, according to Reuters.

IAM did not specify which parts of the offer led to the rejection, stating only that it “fell short of addressing the priorities and sacrifices” of its members.

EXCLUSIVE: New Data Shows Arrests of Criminal Illegal Aliens Have Made a ‘Real Impact on Public Safety,’ DHS Official Announces.

During the first six months of 2025, homicides fell 17% across 30 U.S. cities when compared with the first half 2024, according to the Council on Criminal Justice, an independent research organization, which has just published its midyear report on crime trends in U.S. cities.

In the first six months of 2025, there were “10% fewer reported aggravated assaults, 21% fewer gun assaults, 10% fewer sexual assaults, and 3% more domestic violence incidents” when compared to the time last year, according to the report.

Robberies are also down 20% and carjacking fell by 24%. Vehicle theft was rising from the summer of 2020 through 2023, according to the Council on Criminal Justice, but the trend began reversing in 2024.

Since Trump returned to office on Jan. 20, the Trump administration has arrested nearly 300,000 illegal aliens and deported more than 239,000, according to DHS.

Fewer criminals, less crime — who’d a thunk it?

MY NEW YORK POST COLUMN: How Trump is bursting the bureaucrats’ DC bubble, one agency at a time.

SMART: Sen. Josh Hawley introduces bill to send tariff rebate checks to Americans.

Hawley submitted his legislation after pledging to do so Friday following President Donald Trump’s remark to reporters that he would be interested in sending a tariff-related rebate check to Americans.

“Like President Trump proposed, my legislation would allow hard-working Americans to benefit from the wealth that Trump’s tariffs are returning to this country,” Hawley said in a statement.

Hawley, who championed stimulus check legislation with Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., amid the Covid pandemic in 2020, authored his new bill to echo that past effort. The program would be set up as a refundable tax credit, with the government sending checks this year should the bill advance through Congress and get Trump’s signature. The bill would ensure that the amount provided to each adult and dependent child is at least $600. It also allows for a larger rebate per person should tariff revenue exceed projections.

This one ought to be a no-brainer — which means very little in Washington, unfortunately.

THE MINIMUM WAGE IS ZERO:  In honor of National Disability Independence Day, the Chair of the Commission on Civil Rights apparently wants individuals with Down syndrome to get priced out of a job.

A few years ago, when the Commission did a report on whether to get rid of the special minimum wage for severely disabled employees, the parents and families of the affected employees (overwhelmingly Down syndrome sufferers) were strongly in favor of keeping it.   I am so #$^#% tired of do-gooders who think they know what’s good for these folks and that their parents and families don’t.  It should be obvious that removing the special minimum wage will result in job loss.  Indeed, one of the advocates for eliminating the special minimum we spoke to even ADMITTED this.

The alternative theory is that most of these “do-gooders” are not do-gooders at all, but just a wholly owned subsidiary of the SEIU.  Maybe they actually WANT these people to lose their jobs, so that SEIU workers can get two jobs–the one that used to be performed by a Down syndrome employee and one baby-sitting the now-unemployed Down syndrome employee.

IT’S COMPLICATED: These wargames explored drone attacks on US military bases.

Since 2022, the U.S. Army’s Joint Counter-Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Office, or JCO, and the RAND Corp. think tank have held six wargames on how to mitigate the drone threat.

“We are trying to understand the policies and authorities we have in place to prevent us from contending with a scenario like Operation Spiderweb,” said Paul Lushenko, an assistant professor at the U.S. Army War College who helped run the drone wargame.

Many of the details of these wargames are classified, but one key finding is that protecting domestic U.S. bases can’t be just the military’s job.

“The tabletop exercise emphasized the need for a framework to integrate, enable, and synchronize state, local, tribal, and territorial authorities into counter-drone operations at or near military bases,” noted an essay by the game’s designers. But this, in turn, raises a slew of jurisdictional and communication issues.

There’s no quick or easy fix, but Ukraine and Israel’s recent ops using smuggled drones ought to light some fires.
