Tuesday: Hili Dialogue

September 9, 2025 • 6:45 am

Welcome to The Cruelest Day: Tuesday, and it’s September 9, 2025, and National Wiener Schnitzel Day, a day of cultural appropriation. Here’s a traditional version, though I’d prefer fries rather than greenery:

It’s also National “I Love Food” Day (don’t trust someone who doesn’t), National Teddy Bear Day, National Steak Au Poivre Day, and National Ants on a Log Day, celebrating a dire 1950s concoction described as “nts on a log consist of a spread, such as peanut butter, placed on celery sticks, with raisins put on top. Peanut butter is the most common spread, but ricotta and cream cheese or other spreads may be used. A variation of the snack, gnats on a log, uses currants instead of raisins, and ants on vacation is a variation without raisins. ”

Forget that and have a look at my teddy bear, a bear I got the day I was born. Like me, he’s worn and battered. Kudos to the first reader to tell us his name (he’s still in my office):

What is my name?

*This is a surprise to me: the Supreme Court has overturned a lower court’s order that ICE cannot be allowed to stop and detail people who they think violated immigration law.  And it looks like the usual 6-3 vote. But the final ruling isn’t yet in.

The Supreme Court on Monday lifted a federal judge’s order prohibiting government agents from making indiscriminate immigration-related stops in the Los Angeles area that challengers called “blatant racial profiling.”

The court’s brief order was unsigned and gave no reasons. It is not the last word in the case, which is pending before a federal appeals court and may again reach the justices.

The court’s three liberal members dissented.

In the near term it allows what critics say are roving patrols of masked agents routinely violating the Fourth Amendment and what supporters say is a vigorous but lawful effort to enforce the nation’s immigration laws.

The lower courts had placed significant restrictions on President Trump’s efforts to ramp up immigrant arrests to achieve his pledge of mass deportations. Aggressive enforcement operations in Los Angeles — including encounters captured on video that appeared to be roundups of random Hispanic people by armed agents — have become a flashpoint, setting off protests and clashes in the area.

Civil rights groups and several individuals filed suit, accusing the administration of unconstitutional sweeps in which thousands of people had been arrested. They described the encounters in the suit as “indiscriminate immigration operations” that had swept up thousands of day laborers, carwash workers, farmworkers, caregivers and others.

“Individuals with brown skin are approached or pulled aside by unidentified federal agents, suddenly and with a show of force,” the complaint said, “and made to answer questions about who they are and where they are from,” violating the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition of unreasonable searches and seizures.

The ruling is short, and is below, though the full document with concurrences and dissents is 31 pages long.  It seems to me that stopping people by the way they look constitutes race-based profiling, which is illegal. Still, I thought the court would be more anti-Trump than this ruling suggests:

*Trump’s “Border Czar” has threatened Democratic “sanctuary cities” that they are facing “action,” which means an incursion of the National Guard or other law-enforcement agencies, followed by arrests and deportations.

As Chicagoans braced for a potential activation of the National Guard in their city, President Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, said residents of cities with pro-immigrant policies all over the United States should also expect stepped-up immigration enforcement in their neighborhoods.

“You can expect action in sanctuary cities across the country,” Homan told CNN on Sunday.

Trump and members of his administration have long railed against “sanctuary city” policies, which can encompass a spectrum of practices, such as jails being unable to hold immigrants accused of committing crimes beyond their allotted time or hand them over to ICE custody, or prohibiting police from inquiring about immigration status during arrests. On Sunday, Homan said the president is prioritizing federal action in cities with these policies because they “knowingly release illegal aliens, public safety threats, to the streets.” In recent days, Trump has also threatened to deploy the National Guard to New York, Seattle, Baltimore, San Francisco and Portland, Oregon.

Homan declined to say how many National Guard troops will be deployed to Chicago, or where else they might be sent, but said the troops are a “force multiplier” to support immigration enforcement. Homan said the National Guard troops would not be arresting undocumented migrants in these cities but would rather support the work of ICE officers and Border Patrol agents.

“The National Guard does provide protection for us,” he said. “It does provide us infrastructure, provides us transportation, provides us additional processing capability that allows the ones with immigration authority, the badges and guns on the street, to continue arresting the bad guy.”

The comments come a day after Trump, on Truth Social, threatened Chicago with mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, sharing an edited illustration of himself as Lt. Col. Bill Kilgore from the Vietnam War film “Apocalypse Now.” Alongside the image, Trump wrote, “I love the smell of deportations in the morning.”

“Chicago [is] about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR,” Trump wrote. On Friday, the president signed an executive order rebranding the Defense Department as the Department of War without congressional approval.

As he made his way to the U.S. Open in New York on Sunday, Trump was asked by reporters whether he was “threatening to go to war with Chicago.”

“We’re not going to war,” Trump replied. “We’re going to clean up our cities.”

So far we have no National Guard in Chicago, and, as Ben Shapiro said in yesterday’s interview with Coleman Hughes, Trump often acts precipitiously and then doesn’t complete his act if he gets too much pushback. Bringing the guard to Chicago may be one of these retreats, as the Governor has not okayed their presence—an okay that I think is required by law.

*Greta Thunberg’s “Freedom Flotilla” has temporarily stopped in Tunisia to gather more boats and supplies before it heads to Gaza, where it will be stopped by the Israeli navy.

Huge crowds gathered at Tunisia’s port on Sunday to welcome Greta Thunberg as her aid flotilla, bound for Gaza, docked at the port.

The Swedish climate activist is travelling with 350 pro-Palestinian activists on boats stocked with aid that they are hoping to deliver to Palestinians in Gaza.

Pictures from the Sidi Bou Said port show hordes of people surrounding the 22-year-old as she addressed the crowd. “We all know why were are here,” she said. “Just across the water there’s a genocide going on, a mass starvation by Israel’s murder machine.”

Israel has repeatedly denied that there is starvation in Gaza and has blamed any hunger on Hamas and aid agency failures.

Last month a UN-backed body confirmed that there was famine in the territory and the UN’s humanitarian chief said it was the direct result of Israel’s “systematic obstruction” of aid entering Gaza.

French-Palestinian Member of the European Parliament Rima Hassan was at the port.

“The Palestinian cause is not in the hands of governments today. It is in the hearts of peoples everywhere,” she said, adding praise for those who stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

This latest attempt started on Monday, when the flotilla of about 20 vessels set sail from Barcelona.

The group will now stay in Tunisia for a few days, before resuming the journey to Gaza, Reuters news agency reports.

“Some of the flotilla ships bound for Gaza has reached Sidi Bou Said port in Tunisia, where it will be expanded, loaded with additional aid, and joined by the Tunisian team for the next stage of the mission,” the collective group of activists Global Sumud Flotilla wrote on X.

Israeli authorities have characterised Thunberg’s previous attempt to sail aid to Gaza as a publicity stunt that offered no real humanitarian assistance.

This one will fail, too, for if Israel lets them through, they can let anybody through, including ships that might supply Hamas with goods or weapons.  I predict that there will be a peaceful interception, people in Flotilla given water and sandwiches and an offer (which they’ll refuse) to watch the 47-minute video of Hamas’s activities on October 7, 2023 (they were given that chance before, and turned their backs).  They’ll then face the choice of being detained or being flown home (Greta chose to fly home after the last attempt, but then cried that she was “kidnapped.”) I hope to Ceiling Cat nobody on the Flotilla has weapons or tries to resist, as we don’t want bloodshed.  Here’s Greta dwelling on the nonexistent genocide:

*The Jerusalem Post reports that NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has vowed not to invest the city’s money in any Israeli bonds.

Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City, has said that if elected, he will oppose restoring the city’s historic investments in Israel Bonds.

The city’s investments in Israel Bonds — totaling some $39 million as of January 2022 — were not renewed when they matured in 2023. The decision was made by Mamdani’s ally, city comptroller Brad Lander, who cited a general policy of avoiding debt to foreign governments, saying Israel had been an exception and was now being treated in accordance with the rule.

In an interview with CBS New York broadcast Sunday, Mamdani stopped short of calling to divest from Israeli businesses, though he did not explicitly reject the position, either, saying the city should focus on where it is “directly implicated” in violations of international law.

“And in the city pension fund, purchasing Israel Bonds, that, to me, is something that is a clear indication of our values — and we know that our values are actually with international law,” he said.

In a July letter to New  York Mayor Eric Adams, Lander said that as of May 2025, the city’s public pension systems held more than $315 million in Israeli assets other than Israel Bonds, mostly common stocks.

Well, if Israel was an exception at one time and bonds weren’t renewed two years ago because of that, then it’s no big deal not to renew them again—so long as Israel was the only exception. But listen to Mamdani below, invoking “international law” as a reason to not only not renew the bonds, but perhaps not invest further in Israel. (I don’t know if “international law” says anything about investing in Israel.) It’s pretty clear that, if elected, he’ll pull a BDS. It amazes me that anybody wants to vote for him—not just because of his stand on Israel, but because many of his proposed policies are unworkable.

*The French government seems to have collapsed on a non-confidence vote in the Prime Minister (note, not President Macron), a vote based on a budget lawmakers didn’t like.  And, as Matthew says, “Because there is no clear majority and hasn’t been for nearly a year, since the last election. No idea what will happen now.”

The French government has collapsed after Prime Minister Michel Barnier was ousted in a no-confidence vote.

MPs voted overwhelmingly in support of the motion against him – just three months after he was appointed by President Emmanuel Macron.

Opposition parties had tabled the motion after the former Brexit negotiator controversially used special powers to force through his budget without a vote.

It marks the first time the country’s government has collapsed in a no-confidence vote since 1962.

The development will further France’s political instability, after snap elections in summer led to no single group having a majority in parliament.

MPs were required to either vote yes or abstain from Wednesday’s vote, with 288 votes needed for the motion to pass. A total of 331 voted in support of the motion.

Barnier is now obliged to present the resignation of his government, and the budget which triggered his downfall is defunct.

However, he is likely to stay on as caretaker prime minister while Macron chooses a successor.

Both the left and far right had tabled motions of no-confidence after Barnier pushed through reforms to social security by invoking presidential decree on Monday, after failing to win enough support for the measures.

The left-wing alliance New Popular Front (NFP), which won the most seats in the parliamentary elections, had previously criticised Macron’s decision to appoint centrist Barnier as prime minister over its own candidate.

Alongside the far-right National Rally (RN), it deemed Barnier’s budget – which included €60bn (£49bn) in deficit reduction – unacceptable.

Marine Le Pen, the RN leader, said the budget was “toxic for the French”.

Ahead of the vote, Barnier told the National Assembly that voting him out of office would not solve the country’s financial problems.

“We have reached a moment of truth, of responsibility,” he said, adding that “we need to look at the realities of our debt”.

“It is not a pleasure that I propose difficult measures.”

. . .Macron, who has returned to France following a state visit to Saudi Arabia, is due to give a televised speech to the nation on Thursday evening.

He is not directly affected by the result of the vote, as France votes for its president separately from its government.

Macron had said he would not resign whatever the outcome of Wednesday’s vote.

Well, we’ll have to wait almost a year until the next election is held: in July of 2026!

Meanwhile in Dobrzyn, Hili and Szaron are having a gloomy chinwag:

Hili: I opened my eyes this morning and saw the whole truth.
Szaron: And?
Hili: I shut them immediately.

In Polish:

Hili: Otworzyłam dziś rano oczy i zobaczyłam całą prawdę.
Szaron: I co?
Hili: Natychmiast je zamknęłam.

      1. Another small point: the French premier is called Bayrou, not Barnier. Barnier was the prime minister ousted before Bayrou.
        (To be honest, I don’t know wether the article is about Barnier’s ousting or Bayrou’s!)

  2. A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
    There is no greatness where there is not simplicity, goodness, and truth. -Leo Tolstoy, novelist and philosopher (9 Sep 1828-1910)

  4. I was about to write that surely everyone has heard of Toasty, but apparently someone needed AI. Shows me.

  5. The NYT’s piece on the Supreme Court ruling says that ICE’s action are “indiscriminate” and also profiling. Those are contradictory. Although the Court’s order did not provide an opinion, Mr. Justice Kavanaugh providing a concurring opinion. It’s worth reading.

    To stop an individual for brief questioning about immigration status, the Government must have reasonable suspicion that the individual is illegally present in the United States. . . Reasonable suspicion is a lesser requirement than probable cause and “considerably short” of the preponderance of the evidence standard. . . Whether an officer has reasonable suspicion depends on the totality of the circumstances. . . Here, those circumstances include: that there is an extremely high number and percentage of illegal immigrants in the Los Angeles area; that those individuals tend to gather in certain locations to seek daily work; that those individuals often work in certain kinds of jobs, such as day labor, landscaping, agriculture, and construction, that do not require paperwork and are therefore especially attractive to illegal immigrants; and that many of those illegally in the Los Angeles area come from Mexico or Central America and do not speak much English. . . To be clear, apparent ethnicity alone cannot furnish reasonable suspicion; under this Court’s case law regarding immigration stops, however, it can be a . . . “relevant factor” when considered along with other salient factors. . . [references removed]

    1. ” . . . that do not require paperwork and are therefore especially attractive to illegal immigrants.”

      And apparently attractive to their employers too.

      (Also: I wonder if there is a National Food Critics Day, and wonder how many professional basketball players are familiar with the quadratic formula, let alone able to derive it from ax^2 + bx + c = 0.)

      1. The analog fire-control computer of the brain and kinesthetic muscle and ligament organs don’ need no steenkin’ quadratic equations! Besides, a thrown basketball or any other object in the atmosphere doesn’t follow a perfect ballistic parabola. If the shooter used the quadratic equation straight out of the box he would miss the hoop. He knows the trajectory is asymmetric from air resistance and from spin imparted to the ball and has to factor that into his shot. And how exactly does practice make perfect? What is “muscle memory”? My sister, a teacher and tennis player, thinks athletes who can solve sphairistike* problems like this while jumping and lunging and sometimes while being tripped are more intelligent than we give them credit for.

        (*This was an early name coined by an Englishman for lawn tennis shortly after the invention of the lawn mower made it possible. It is ancient Greek for “ball-skill”, pronounced to rhyme with “sticky”. It didn’t catch on.)

        1. 🎯
          Science content! And Maths!

          And, re how many professional basketball players are familiar with the quadratic formula, let alone able to derive it — about as many as the number professional STEM teachers and professors who can consistently sink 3-pointers.

  6. So race cannot be a factor in college admissions because it is unconstitutional but can be used to stop and detain people because it is constitutional. Never has a Supreme Court undertaken so many mental contortions to cede power to a president. I count about 20 emergency orders issued so far.

    Regarding deploying troops to Chicago, I would not be surprised if that is the first place shots are fired. Even if the governor has not okayed their presence, when has Trump followed the law? The law and Constitution are seen as impediments to ignore or go around.

    1. I think you might be confusing racial preference in granting some benefit ( = racial discrimination in denying it when applied to a zero-sum game like college admission) with racial profiling, which is part (as Justice Kavanaugh notes) of a heuristic intended to expedite preliminary decisions when only incomplete information is available. ICE can’t know if a brown-skinned person with limited English congregating for day labour is an illegal alien until the agent interrogates him. If he turns out to be legally working in the U.S., no harm, no foul. As you were. The person incorrectly profiled suffers no loss. “The cop said I looked like a foreigner!” Well, you do. So what?

      To say ICE should not be allowed to use heuristics, which will include skin colour, to enforce immigration law seems to be saying they shouldn’t enforce the laws at all. Or would you have ICE waste their time randomly asking fair-skinned blue-eyed English speakers at their paperwork-encrusted desk jobs about their immigration/citizenship status when the target of enforcement is migrants from Latin America? If the target becomes Polish plumbers or Croatian crossbow-makers, heuristics will have to be developed for them.

      1. Yes, the old “looks like…” heuristic, Leslie.

        Consider El Al. No DEI on Israeli airlines at all.
        If you’re an old Spanish Nun doing pilgrimage to Israel chances are the airline won’t give you a second look.
        If you’re a 20 year old (American citizen even) called “Mohammed” they’ll want to have a chat before boarding.

        Despite being the biggest target in the known universe, El Al has never been defeated by terrorists.

        Ditto “stop and frisk” here in NYC which took thousands of guns out of the ghetto but was halted by PC police — resulting in more murders. Stop and frisk targeted black and Hispanic young men who — and hold your fire — have a lot of the illegal guns in our city.
        I care about lives, not cocktail party pieties.

        D.A.
        NYC

        1. “Ditto “stop and frisk” here in NYC which took thousands of guns out of the ghetto but was halted by PC police — resulting in more murders.”

          Citation needed.

          I asked Google: Did halting stop and frisk in NYC cause an increase in murders?

          Answer:
          Halting New York City’s stop-and-frisk program did not cause an increase in murders or other serious crime. In fact, murders and other major felonies in the city continued to decrease even as the number of stops plummeted. Critics who predicted a crime wave after the program was scaled back were proven wrong by the data.

          Who to believe? You or AI…it’s a good question, but I’m siding with AI for now.

      2. ” If he turns out to be legally working in the U.S., no harm, no foul. As you were. The person incorrectly profiled suffers no loss.”

        Oh, if only it were that simple, or reflected the truth on the ground. Far from it. (A simple google will reveal many counter examples of what has happened to American citizens caught up in ICE raids. And what about immigrants who are actually in the process of gaining citizenship? Are they criminals now? I guess so…guilty until proven innocent.) When the SCOTUS conservative majority utilizes the shadow docket, as in this case, it’s because they have weak arguments and want to appease Trump. No leadership, no decisive reasoning, no direction. All these shadow docket cases leave lower courts bewildered- not a way to run the highest court in the land. It will be interesting to see what they make of Trump’s tariffs.

        1. I would want to hear the government’s side of those stories before accepting that it is deporting U.S. citizens because they have brown skin, Mark. It’s against the law to deport U.S. citizens so there is clearly a story there if that is happening. Children born in America to aliens being deported should surely be sent home with the parents, not kept in the U.S. in orphanages. That would be heartless. But the Administration here isn’t claiming the authority to deport citizens. It is merely claiming the authority to demand proof of legal status of people it has reasonable suspicion to be aliens working illegally, and to detain them for deportation if they are.

          I don’t know what you mean by your question, If someone is in the process of getting citizenship, are they criminals now? Deportation isn’t a criminal process involving guilt or innocence. You don’t get “found guilty” and deported. You are found in the country without permission and then deported as an administrative procedure. Do correct me if I’m wrong but the only people who can be in the process of getting citizenship are lawful permanent residents, i.e., immigrants with Green Cards. A Green Card gives the holder the right to remain in the U.S. and work, whether or not he is planning to get citizenship. So if ICE raided the job site he was working at and asked to see his papers, his Green Card would get him off the hook, no?. The process of citizenship application has nothing to do with anything. If a Green Card holder was doing something that would cause the State Dept. to try to revoke it, how would he become more a criminal just because he was applying for citizenship?? Maybe I’m missing your point, though.

          I hear three themes about illegal aliens here:
          1). Enforce the immigration laws.
          2). Don’t let Trump enforce the immigration laws because he’s Trump. Obstruct him at every step, don’t let him have a win. Once he’s gone it will be OK to enforce them, but not while he’s in office.
          3). Don’t enforce the immigration laws ever. Get rid of Trump so we can stop enforcing them and return to open borders.

          Maybe it would be better if everyone just held up a number of fingers to save time in discussion of an issue where no one is going to change his mind. It’s a hot-button issue up here, too. We’re all trying to figure out what happened, and what to do about it.

          1. I don’t think they’re deporting US citizens (and didn’t say that), I’m saying they’ve been picking some up and detaining them and even when shown proof of their citizenship they’re not being set free immediately- in other words, ICE doesn’t believe them, guilty before proven innocent. That’s the problem with “rounding up” groups based on profiling. And why do certain brown American citizens need to start carrying papers now whenever they leave the house- that’s ridiculous. Sure, we should support “enforcing immigration law” but the way ICE is doing it is simply “unamerican” and most Americans feel that. (They also aren’t doing what Trump said- rounding up the criminals/dangerous people.) It’s the old letter of the law vs. spirit of the law argument. Growing up in Canada, you probably wouldn’t have the visceral feeling that it is somehow “wrong/unamerican” how ICE is going about terrorizing innocent minority groups, especially law abiding people just trying to get by. I don’t think it’s “because Trump” it’s because of the unprecedented way ICE is going about enforcing the law and the majority of Americans don’t like what’s happening.

            Anyway, thanks for the response, this thread is past its expiration date.

      1. Excellent news.
        Doesn’t matter who they whacked or missed – the mission was instructive: Hamas you are safe nowhere in the Middle East, no matter how rich your city or hosts.
        (I’ve been to Qatar several times – it is a nice place, one not expecting the “hell from above” one can look up into the skies of Lebanon for, say).

        No snr Hamas official will be able to relax in a large swath of the planet from here on. And thaaat… is pretty nice.

    I mean, do they actually have a plan for what happens then, or what?

    In other news – note Israeli strike on Hamasniks in Doha, Qatar today.

    1. Yes. This is a huge story—the IDF going into Qatar, a U.S. “ally.” Seeing as the Israeli attack was on the Hamas so-called negotiators, I am led to wonder if most or all of the hostages might already be dead. Going after the negotiators, which led Qatar to suspend negotiations, will delay the release of living hostages who are already near death. Reports on whether the Israeli attack were successful or not are varied. But the attack was successful—even if the terrorists in charge weren’t killed—because the attack demonstrates that Hamas leaders can no longer expect to live in comfort in Doha. Their days are numbered.

      1. Yes Norman. Like everybody, I have no evidence here… but I fear the hostages are indeed all dead.

        Remember.. many were taken by Islamic Jihad (who is leaderless it seems) or just random Gaza “Religion of Peace” citizens grabbing hostages bc they’ve been taught since kindergarten to do that kind of thing.

        So there’s a lot of fuzzy info out there but the enemy WANTS us to believe they’re alive b/c that’s all the leverage they’ve got.

        I’m not the one to make it but there’s an argument to suggest if they are indeed dead it is time to get …serious on Gaza.
