When U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials approached Roberts, he identified himself then sped off, abandoned his vehicle, and hid in a brushy area about 200 meters away, where ICE officers located him with help from Iowa State Patrol officers. At the time of arrest, a loaded handgun, hunting knife and $3,000 cash were found in his vehicle. On Oct. 2, he was charged with being an illegal alien in possession of firearms.
Roberts’ rap sheet and immigration history reveal a long record of criminal conduct in the United States. He should never have been serving in a role overseeing children in Iowa’s largest school district.
“Ian Andre Roberts, a criminal illegal alien with multiple weapons charges and a drug trafficking charge, should have never been able to work around children,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “When ICE officers arrested this Superintendent, he was in possession of an illegal handgun, a hunting knife, and nearly $3,000 in cash. This criminal illegal alien is now in U.S. Marshals custody and facing charges for being an illegal alien in possession of a firearms. Under Secretary Noem, ICE will continue to arrest the worst of the worst and put the safety of America’s children FIRST.”
His criminal record includes the following:
July 3, 1996: Charges for criminal possession of narcotics with intent to sell, criminal possession of narcotics, criminal possession of a forgery instrument and possession of a forged instrument in New York.
Nov. 13, 1998: A charge for third-degree unauthorized use of a vehicle in Queens, New York, which was dismissed July 6, 1999.
Nov. 1, 2012: A conviction for reckless driving, unsafe operation and speeding in Maryland.
Feb. 3, 2020: Charges for second-degree criminal possession of a weapon (having a loaded firearm outside his home or business); third-degree criminal possession of a weapon (an ammunition feeding device); and fourth-degree weapon charges.

Reminds me of a short video about the past communist Russia and Christians back then although seems to have changed now.
I remember a elder patient talking about that once. Something on news about the Holocaust. She said she was so tired about hearing about just them all the time. How the Christians suffered and were being murdered no one heard about. Her brother was beaten and shot left for dead but survived. How they were being hunted and persecuted.
What reminded me of that was a short video I ran into I should have saved. He spoke about a Russian who said the Christians were the hardest to manipulate. Having to do with getting the people to follow a narrative. They had to put them in gulags. In short they put God before man made schemes. They weren’t so easy to fool.
Coincidence of woke statements years back? Dutch Bros appeared az fierce competition has no inside store serving on the go orders. So looks like Starbucks is going to focus on the indoor experience what ever that means during these not to cheery political division times.
Starbucks announced the closure of hundreds of underperforming North American locations as part of a broader restructuring plan to improve the in-store experience and address six straight quarters of sales declines. Approximately 450 stores are slated to close by the end of the fiscal year, a figure representing about 1% of the company’s North American stores, with 900 corporate jobs also being eliminated. The closures are the result of the company’s “Back to Starbucks” initiative, led by CEO Brian Niccol, with many of the affected stores located in city centers and commercial corridors.
It’s been decades of this BS so people are skittish.
Definitely understandable.
Stand your ground … even if there’s volatility … impossible to predict the short term.
The crazies in the ME are about to start shooting at Iran again and it might not go so good for them this time … meaning they might see the need to shoot nukes.
Thank you for all of that detailed information. It makes me wonder how much longer the scum can keep their fingers in the dam before it all breaks?????
Comex is effectively the largest gold and silver mine, with stand for deliveries a source for bullion. The conversion of paper gold and silver into bullion is now conspicuous. It cannot last.
Should work its way off once silver is above $50 for a week or so.
Can’t blame people for being cautious given the psychos we are dealing with.
But look at what happened yesterday with the big reversal (and runup today) … with CME Gold Open Interest (OI) down 6273 contracts … with a hefty 5269 contracts delivered (and 5,900 Exchange for Physicals – EFP’s) … and only 431 contrasts added in silver with 825 Exchange EFP’s.
I wonder if a load of Algo’sv are shorting PM’s and shares especially, thinking the big scum will turn up…if they don’t and prices of metal are already coming back, they could be left sucking swamp!!!
Re Digital ID…two points…first based on everything our gu’mint does, they will never get it to work, this century and we already have Co’s pulling out becuse it is so unpopular.
I wonder if it will drag gold up through $3900? They are definitely hellbent on keeping things from getting out of control today in the shares, feels like scum activity.
NAK up again 11% on very heavy volume to start.
Crazy times, and silver shorts keep taking it on the chin.
The coming digital ID. I hope there is some way to fight it off. Looks like their using their own fault on.illegal migration they do nothing about as a excuse to do it. It seems to me all a diversion because they even ignore all the crimes they commit hiding behind Muslim religion but that is total BS because if they did those crimes in Muslim countries many would be sentenced to death or have parts of their body amputated so the whole thing is BS and a big diversion. Away from themselves and they shouldn’t get away with it. They’re just doubling down.
This is a example of how they could use AI and digital IDs.
I see no evidence that’s why I brought it up. Didn’t think of it in odds but without any evidence I can agree. A decoy on top of a decoy.
Candice is working on it but needs more than coincidence. Anger needs somewhere to go, something to blame it on so have to try to put biases aside for facts. Charlie was a man of God and mixed with politics in his case working for God he put first made him a target and should of had more protection even if he didn’t want it. He was one in a billion.
This is interesting as far as religion. Not exact but close enough. Has to do with the colors of the 4 horseman in revelations and flags of today.
