🚨 Google (AI): “The White House claims that more than 605,000 formal deportations have occurred since January 2025. They also claim an additional 1.9 million people have “self-deported,” bringing their total stated departures figure to over 2.5 million.

The Trump administration has not provided fully objective, verifiable data to back up these specific figures, leading to widespread criticism over data transparency. While frequent press releases and aggregate briefings tout these milestones, it has heavily restricted or stopped publishing the detailed, granular tracking tools previously available to the public.

Independent oversight groups, journalists, and even members of Congress have pointed out several major verification gaps:

Inconsistent Reporting: Official announcements have frequently contradicted one another. For instance, press releases and official testimonies have issued conflicting numbers within days of each other, making data verification difficult.

Lack of Data Distinction: The administration has failed to provide a clear public accounting that separates interior enforcement operations from routine border returns.

Unverifiable “Self-Deportations”: The claimed 1.9 million self-deportations are based on demographic modeling, estimates, and minor app check-ins rather than direct, case-by-case tracking.”

🚨🚨 Gregory K Bovino
8/5/2026

“When you’re in trouble, you just double down and look us straight in the eye with better lies.

Remember the book “How to Lie with Statistics”?

Our DHS secretary is giving you a master class.

Markwayne Mullin admits they’re counting people caught by the Coast Guard or at the border who already face deportation.

That’s not mass deportation. That’s just people trying to get in, not the ones already living here.

And how many people already living here actually got put on a plane this week?

Mark Mullin isn’t a border security professional. He’s getting his numbers from the architect of this system, our border czar Tom Homan.

Homan got medals for running the same game under Barack Obama.

Different administration, same players, same results…”

Supply and DEMAND for rental housing.

I watch the flight tracker at times. I don’t see the same number of flights as before.

“Yikes” has got to be the most informational OP comment I have seen. I feel more informed now.

When I rented an apartment in north Alabama in 2018-2024 the rent went up 10%-15% every 6-9 months.
The worst times were when the property would sell and new owners would come in and do some fluff fixes (totally cosmetic) and really jack up the rent. I’ll never rent again.

Blacks are moving to the suburbs and being replaced by Hispanics, etc., in the hood. What’s different now is the mass building of apartments in the suburbs. Ghettos of the future.

Income was going up when Trump was elected, then started falling when Biden got elected.

Grok --> The graph is misleading. It compares nominal rent growth (roughly +150-160% since 1985 per median rent data) to real (inflation-adjusted) income growth (~35%).

Nominal median household income rose ~241% ($23.6k in 1985 to $80.6k in 2023). Real income growth is closer to the blue line. CPI rent of primary residence rose ~250-280%. Rents have outpaced incomes overall, but not by the extreme gap shown. Source attribution to HUD is not accurate for this chart.

Comparing Nominal to Real data is an old trick. I haven't verified what Grok claims here. But it looks like BS and a quick watch confirms the Nominal vs Real hoax.

Mike Urban has a video about this in (Kommie) Mass, where legislation is being considered to enable single family plots, “by right”, to build a duplex, and not just an attached “mother-in-law” apartment.

Ghettos of the future.

I prefer to call them "tenements of the future," as more reflective of the architecture. Effectively, they're 'servants quarters.'

Toward the end of the Great Wave of Immigration (about 1910) approximately 25% f American households had a live-in servant while there was no welfare class. It was a better way to assure assimilation into American culture without building a restive underclass dependent upon a bureaucracy. Churches were the medium for social welfare, job placement, and other services.

A tithe looks cheap compared to what we pay in taxes.

This data is total BS. Shroyer is moron. Income and rent have tracked closely since 1980.

The Tech Boom did not start in 1990. 1996 at the earliest.

A side note - Imgur tells me “this content not available in your region” - which is nominally UK. Fortunately it’s very easy for me to VPN into my house in the US, reload the page, and I get the Imgur content in the thread. It’s mildly annoying. Not sure why they do that. Might be because of UK meme prosecutions, I suppose.

There is a slight recent divergence upwards for rents, likely because of all the illegals imported under Biden.

graph? 1985 to 1986 to 1986 to 1986 to 1986

That don’t make no sense.
