Why is it we, as a dumbed down society, have to reduce everything to an acronym?  The military is the best at this.  They have an acronym for every conceivable operation.  It's like a Tony Robbins video.  ICE.  This is new and convenient, but it means Immigration and Customs Enforcement.  Is it coincidental that the acronym ICE spells the word ice?  Ice is cold, dangerous, and sometimes deadly if you are not careful.  "If you are not careful," are the operative words of this sentence.  The ICE we are seeing today I don't feel is an honest and authentic depiction of an American government agency.  We don't know much about them.  We have heard about the Border Patrol, and sometimes they are coupled with the Department of Homeland Security, a Bush Jr. creation after the 9/11 attacks.  I don't know exactly what they do, and why America needed another agency or department in addition to what we all ready had.  Evidently he felt the protection of Americans at the domestic level was not efficient.  What is ICE?  Have we heard a mission statement or speech describing the need for ICE?  Its basically hearsay from the President of which we cannot believe.  "Dangerous criminals."  No one knows who and how they are tracking these supposed illegal aliens, except that DOGE came from nowhere and raided the Social Security files.  That should be a clue.  This has been going on for long time, detention camps, torture chambers, and the splitting up of families.  It's like the Holocaust except here on the down low.  It is not time to be afraid.  It is time to pay attention to the infringement of our civil rights.  Lynching is nothing new, and the police were killing black men left and right.  Not the focus has changed to illegal immigrants.  The immediate results of this new ICE campaign is the apprehension of immigrants who do much of the work in American society.  Similarly Trump's tariffs only have raised prices for Americans.  Nothing this President has done has helped Americans.  Nothing.  Tariffs and ICE equal spoiled produce.  I haven't been able to buy fresh lettuce for three months, because Mexican illegals pick and process much of the food.  We have not shored up American agriculture.  We have done the opposite with the Farm Bill and pay farmers not to grow fresh food.  In what country are we living?  Where is the peoples' representation and government?  We don't have it at the moment, and the Trump regime is working for someone else.  It has become such blatant thievery, I feel like I am watching a foreign corrupt government run amuck in Washington, DC.  There was a coup.  It was unlawful, violent, and aggressive and it was achieved by skullduggery and slight of hand.  The thieves still are in power.  If we can't find Hip Hop gangs to defend Americans, where is Robin Hood?  I guess we are going to have to do it ourselves.  With the infiltration of Washington there has been the systematic dismantling of needed government agencies to serve the people.  FEMA comes to mind and all of the residents of Western North Carolina who need hurricane assistance.  The most egregious disservice has been the weakening of the Environmental Protection Agency.  We were on the right track with a new chief from North Carolina.  Trump changed the laws and erased most of the protections for our environment.  As I sit and type, for three days soot from two GP-38-3s is blown into my eyes as they switch cars in the CSX's Milan Yard on North Street in Fayetteville, North Carolina.  These micro-particles penetrate walls and find their way deep into the lungs.  This is with the windows down and the doors shut.  A GP series locomotive originally was made in the 1950's and 60's, thus its Tier level requirements for emissions are nonexistent.  We are up to Tier 4, and a GP-38-3 emits 90% of it pollutants from a roots blown, sixteen cylinder, two stroke diesel prime mover.  While Wabtec has rebuilt some of these units and installed some upgrades, the industry as a whole has side steeped regulation almost completely.  An ES44ACH is no better.  While its carbon emissions are improved using a more efficient GEVO 12 cylinder engine, the EMF footprint of AC locomotives is brutal.  Imagine a combination of infrasound, vibration, heat, magnetism, and multiple frequencies of alternating current that decrease to 0.  That is alternating AC electricity IN THE AIR creating overvoltages which tamp down the power grid, infect consumer AC power, and affect the mental and physical health of human beings.  No such things, saith the Trump regime, and CSX will be in accordance.  Somebody has to transport all of those amazon packages.
