Claims were made months ago: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/10/ice-spending-small-arms-weapons-chemical-munitions-increased-700-percent-2025/
Corrections that info were made a bit after that which I was unaware of: https://www.wired.com/story/no-ice-probably-didnt-buy-guided-missile-warheads/
What are you even talking about?
It’s a report from Schiff’s office. How is that “Doomer”?
It was reported months ago, but as someone else pointed out, they’ve apparently address that as something else.
Your smarm and pedantry is noted, but:
It was widely reported that ICE was acquiring warheads months ago. As others here pointed out, that (might) not be exactly correct because of confusion about item numbers on invoices. I was unaware there had been updates to that news.
The article isn’t “making completely unsubstantiated claims” at all. They’re referencing Adam Schiff’s report on this activity.
It’s quite a LARGE story, actually. This is very clearly Trump’s Private army now, and he’s creating slush funds all over the place to keep them funded for a time in case official funding gets cut off. This new report details just how many weapons they have amassed, and it’s shocking. This is the largest deployed paramilitary force on US soil, they are controlled by Trump, and they have enough Guns and Ammo to take over a small country.
Just because YOU think it’s a “non-story” doesn’t mean anyway all. In fact, nobody asked you. I certainly don’t think we were waiting on baited breath for your personal opinion on it either. Your feelings on it are actually not needed.
Others may not have known, or probably should know this information, and that’s why it’s posted. Didn’t need your opinion or permission on that, champ. ✌️
Classic
It’s a hash of some sort. No idea what it’s for.

So…things have been written about this. The biggest issue in Mexico is the space between cities.
You move into one area and clear it out, anyone left leaves to join others in some other places and then you have to move the police force to wherever the new outbreak starts.
It’s Guerilla Warfare. It’s not impossible to stop with force, but it takes a long time. The fastest way to stop the Cartels is by Supply Suffocation, either by product, or by banking.
The trick here is that Cartels know this, and regularly rely on the law to prevent seizures of funds, and even recently have become money laundering operations for people wanting to traffic Chinese currency, so they are FLUSH with cash.
So in this specific case, it’s like fighting the Mafia. You can greatly reduce their operations by taking out the leaders, seizure of asset or product, and removing enforcers in their organizations, but you’ll always be left with a small contingent that will continue operating in some capacity.
The thing with Mexican Cartels is that they’ve strong armed themselves into legitimate businesses like agriculture (avocados are a big one), and it’s hard to find legal ways to prove that X business is funded by a Cartels when they are already laundering money. It could look like it comes from anywhere.
It’s a cat and mouse game until the larger population feels empowered enough to report members, or fight back themselves.
I’ve gotten ransom letters for things I’ve order from UPS and FedEx. Sure seems like they have some control over it.
No. No. Just, no.
This is the dumbest take. Unless he wants to go to war with every court in the country, this ruling hands companies responsible for collecting these bullshit tariffs the power say “No”, and it starts from the bottom up.
Example: Costco was one of the first major companies to use over these tarrifs, and they’re so huge that anyone responsible for the exchange of goods that tries to collect on it, they can simply refuse.
The shipper won’t do shit. Watch.
This time is technically legal because of Hawley, but it should go back to when he started this dumb shit in the first place. We’ll see if we can get a Federal Judge to smack this down in the next week.
All these companies collecting this money just need to fucking stop, and say “Fine then sue me” to the WH, but then of course we know they’ll be flooded with ICE. Trump has a private army now that needs to be dealt with in order to stop all this shit.
Instead of writing a novel here, tried to find a post to explain what I think is happening.
She’s certainly losing that seat, to be fair.
How is it clickbait? It literally says the thing in the title
I think it’s more about calling her out.
She’s about to be voted out by Planter if the overwhelming polls are even barely accurate.
Out of curiosity, does this machine in question have a hostname that falls under the domain you’re using for DNS resolution?
Also, what are the contents of /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/resolv.conf?
Switch those CNAME records to A records, clear your cache, then see how it works.
I can promise you this is not a resolved issue. If it was, you’d be seeing posts like this everywhere. It’s behaving as it should.
Your setup on the Firewalls is not what I would call a “standard” setup. There is both a proper DNS forwarded, AND what they are calling “DNS Filtering” at play with that service. I can’t see your record setup, but depending on which gives the defacto answers when you make a request, you may get conflicting responses, so I would just do away with any kind of non-A records in your setup and see what happens since their docs specifically say it’s only meant for those records and not CNAME or Alias.
CNAME gives you no benefit to what you’re doing here anyway since you only have the couple machines and not MANY records pointing to various places or using named hosts requests or something.
Does this article also mention Rachel Good or Alex Pretti? No? This article wasn’t about that.
Because it’s assumed it was common knowledge. It’s not uncommon practice to refer to other referential pieces of information in a description.

And as someone else in the thread pointed out, there may have been some clarification on this after the reporting: https://www.wired.com/story/no-ice-probably-didnt-buy-guided-missile-warheads/
