Firm Employed by Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee Attempted to Illegally Procure Military Files for Another Republican
This Republican was also running against a Democrat for a congressional seat.
He lost by 1.5%. The firm is the one the DCCC paid $100,000 for just this kind of background dirt -- Due Diligence. This illegal, fraudulent request for National Guard files failed. Most succeeded, this one was stopped.This scumbag is the former research director for the Democratic group American Bridge -- which is the scumbag David Brock's fundraising group.
A Democratic-aligned firm made a failed attempt to obtain personal information from the Army National Guard on at least one House Republican candidate, according to a document obtained by POLITICO. It's the same firm that the Air Force has identified as securing the unauthorized release of multiple House GOP candidates' records last year. Abraham Payton of the research firm Due Diligence Group attempted in August to obtain the personnel records of Colin Schmitt -- a GOP member of the New York state assembly -- from the Army National Guard, according to a copy of the request form that Payton filed. Schmitt, who's still an active National Guard sergeant, lost by less than 1.5 percentage points to Rep. Pat Ryan (D-N.Y.) in their November battle for New York's 18th District.
The attempt to obtain Schmitt's personnel file comes as House Republicans dig into a broader investigation of military records handling after Reps. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) and Zach Nunn (R-Iowa) revealed the "unauthorized release" of their Air Force records to Due Diligence last year. The firm's pursuit of documents on GOP candidates from a separate military branch indicates that Due Diligence cast a wider net than previously known.
And Schmitt is pointing a finger directly at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee for the attempt to obtain his personnel data. The House Democratic campaign arm paid Due Diligence just over $110,00 between January 2021 and December 2022, according to Federal Election Commission records. "It appears that a coordinated campaign to target myself and other Congressional Republicans across the country who serve or have served our nation was for political gain," Schmitt said in a statement, blaming the DCCC for "the illegal use of my social security number to attempt to gain access to my private military records."
Question: The Air Force knew these fraudulent records requests were being made by this firm. Why is the military not making an issue of this? Why did they only start conducting their own investigation when Republicans started to scream about this? They alerted the actual people affected -- and that's as far as they went. It sure seems like the military is consciously covering up for their Democrat pals. It sure seems like they believe that they routinely hand over sensitive personnel records to Democrat smear groups, and don't want to probe too hard into it. But don't worry: Merrick Garland's DOJ is on the case, boyyyy!
"We're aware of the concerns raised, and the Department of Justice has been communicating with the U.S. Air Force about this matter," a DOJ spokesperson in a statement Sunday.Then they refused to comment on the status of any investigation. I'm sure they gave it to their Top Men. Here's how the scumbags attempted to create a legal defense for themselves, should they ever be prosecuted:
You see? He can say, "I wasn't lying, I was trying to get these records to see if he was eligible for employment. In the US Congress, I mean. I was just conducting my own citizens background check on a potential US Congressional 'hire.'" Not sure how that defense is going to hold up about obtaining and then using Schmitt's social security number to purloin the records.
Payton indicated on the form requesting Schmitt's records that he sought them for benefits and employment purposes. The form also indicates that Payton had Schmitt's social security number at the time of his request. ... According to a copy of the military records request Payton filed, he sought to obtain Schmitt's "releasable/redacted copy of Official Military Personnel Files (OMPF)" in August of last year. Payton sought the information for the stated purpose of "Benefits," "Employment," and "Other," to which he explained in the line below: "Services, awards, disciplinary history/records relevant to applicant's qualifications for (potential) position's duties, pay, and benefits."
Jazz Shaw points out that Schmitt wasn't the only Republican whose social security number the group obtained and used:
The group had also somehow obtained the social security numbers of at least three of the candidates and used them when requesting the records. This form of data piracy is something we’ve come to expect from hackers and scammers. But having the DCCC funding activity such as this takes it to an entirely new level.

For those that haven't caught on - the DCCC has illegally worked to obtain classified and private information on every republican that has filed to run for any office for years.
Our government and various agencies are only too happy to help fight any opponent of the democrat party. Only occasionally are they foiled in their attempts.

I wonder how that number was obtained. Clearly, no one responsible for government records would leak that information to the democrat party. I heard that directly from Joe the Plumber.

The officer corps is thoroughly aligned with the deep state. It's all one team. If illegally releasing information will help the State/Party/Media Complex, they will release it. If they're caught - which is unlikely - the Complex will take care of them and make sure no consequences are suffered.
Just like everything else, it is corrupt and rotten to its core. And there are no limits. If they're called upon to release information to political hatchet men, they'll release it. If they're called upon to disregard orders given by a non-aligned president, they'll disregard them. If they're called upon to engage in domestic operations to suppress the people, they'll do it.
All for the Complex, nothing against the Complex, nothing outside the Complex.

Yeah, the 110% turnout in Philly was very helpful.

You see? He can say, "I wasn't lying, I was trying to get these records to see if he was eligible for employment. In the US Congress, I mean. I was just conducting my own citizens background check on a potential US Congressional 'hire.'"
Not sure how that defense is going to hold up about obtaining and then using Schmitt's social security number to purloin the records.
++++
That defense will never need to hold up. It will never be pursued. There will never be a trial. There will never even be a legitimate investigation.

Why is the military not making an issue of this?
Because these are the people in charge now: A Russian fighter jet just forced down one of our Reaper drones near the black sea.

You also know what's not said here? The Air Force knows exactly who is and who is not permitted to review and approve these requests. There's a court marshall there and an officer is rolling the dice on her own because she's required to bring the charge but she knows she'll burn her promotion if she does.

The officer corps is thoroughly aligned with the deep state. It's all one team.

I hear this as if it's some kind of defense for the order followers. I grew up around a lot of vets, and I personally know a great many. Most (more than half) are either fully disabled or seeking it.
Every single one gets in and out of a gigantic truck that we paid for, even though they all "suffer from daily pain". They all walk upright just fine, and heft big loads, and are physically active, but sport that sweet wheelchair icon on the license plate.
It's just another lifetime gibzmedat for far too many. Break up the federal military, push it back to the states, and make Congress beg the states to go on foreign adventures.

This has always been a problem for me when it comes to things like oil spills in deep water. I don't advocate for more oil spills, but they are always claimed to be an unrecoverable disaster and yet the experience of WWII indicates otherwise. We dump vast quantities of oil, refined products, paint, metal, rubber, blood, etc. into the sea during that war. Oil tankers were sunk, warships and merchant vessels were sunk, airplanes crashed, submarines imploded or were blown up - the list goes on. Vast quantities of nasty shit was dumped into the sea as a result of the war, yet the sea was fine. This doesn't mean we should dump stuff into the sea for no reason or behave recklessly, but it does cause a bit of a problem for "everything is lethal to Mother Gaia" narratives.

The III Armored Corps, headquartered at Fort Hood, Texas, released a new policy earlier this year restricting which tank crews can name their vehicles.
The policy, which took effect Jan. 23, limits the ability to name tanks to crews who score in the highest bracket during gunnery -- a qualification meant to measure how effective a crew is in combat.
The change in policy is the result of a desire to incentivize crews to perform better during gunnery.
But a currently serving field-grade armor officer, who was granted anonymity because they are not authorized to speak to the press, told Military.com that the policy could further divide the ranks.
"My immediate reaction is that this will alienate junior crews while ensuring that officers get to name their tanks," they said, adding that leaders in officer positions like platoon leader through battalion commander are often given the best gunners.

Then they refused to comment on the status of any investigation. I'm sure they gave it to their Top Men.
======
The Lisa Monaco-run DoJ opens an investigation into everything that can possibly hurt or seriously embarrass Democrats in Good Standing. This practice is the foundation of The Junta's No Answers Stonewall Policy to media and Congressional questions. Obama's DoJ wingman pioneered this practice. Lisa Monaco has expanded the practice under Biden (actually, under Susan Rice).

IIRC she didn't want it leaked either. The documents were sealed divorce records that revealed her hubby's exhibitionist kink. Neither wanted it publicly available.

I hear this as if it's some kind of defense for the order followers. I grew up around a lot of vets, and I personally know a great many. Most (more than half) are either fully disabled or seeking it.
Every single one gets in and out of a gigantic truck that we paid for, even though they all "suffer from daily pain". They all walk upright just fine, and heft big loads, and are physically active, but sport that sweet wheelchair icon on the license plate.
I'm not around Vets much anymore, but when I was, the problem was the opposite. People with lifetime debilitating injuries sustained during service would get some ridiculously low disability rating from the VA. Got your leg shot off? You're 10% disabled. Have to use a wheelchair? 15% disabled.

The complaint said performers engaged in "acts of simulated sexual activity, and lewd, vulgar, and indecent displays" that included:
Performers forcibly penetrating or rubbing exposed prosthetic female breasts against faces of audience members
Intentionally exposing performers' prosthetic female breasts and genitalia to the audience
Intentionally exposing performers' buttocks to the audience
Simulating masturbation through performers' digitally penetrating prosthetic female genital
Graphic depictions of childbirth and/or abortion
this is flat out porn

In a time of movie remakes and shitty recruiting, it's probably not a surprise they went back the the "Be All You Can Be" motto from the Army's most successful recruiting campaign. Unfortunately, as The Critical Drinker likes to say, it's been updated for modern audiences. As an old white guy, I was glad to be represented on screen as the 5th or 6th person shown, and occasionally in the background of group shots. Also, glad to see to icky fighting footage, like kicking in doors and clearing rooms!

IIRC, 7 of 9 is now playing for the other team, despite going on dates and being romantically involved with some of the male crew on "Voyager".
It used to be a great way to get kudos in Hollywood - for a starlet to make out with some other starlet. Now though you have to do a full on Ellen Page...

I regret every day I spent in uniform.
I don't. But that's me.
Given the way the officer corps has been behaving over the last 20+ years, I'm not going to criticize anyone who does have regrets about their service.

Did SCOTUS take a case this session about trannies on K-12 and college teams? Or in K-12 bathrooms? If so, I believe the ruling will be a punt to the individual states (see Dobbs decision). I cannot see a majority of SCOTUS crisply defining a male and female for sports, or for government benefits, or for anything. It is too large of a minefield - the Progs will find a loophole and exploit it. Taking SCOTUS back to Square 1.

About every other year or so, the TV stations in Santa Barbara would start screaming about finding tar balls on the beaches, because those icky oil companies are pumping oil up out of the seabed from their offshore rigs and just dumping it into the ocean to kill the cute dolphins and majestic whales.
*2 weeks later*
Oh, the oil seeps from just off the beaches, and has been doing that for so long that the Chumash injuns... err, Native Americans, would gather the tar and use it to seal up their canoes. But the oil companies are still icky!

Irrespective of anything else, fuck the Russians. They've done this shit for years. Harassing our aircrews and our MQ-9's. The Russians aren't our friends. What they did to that drone is a deliberate act of aggression and should be met with like or greater measures. They have also started to push the envelope over the Aleutians and in the Bering Sea. They are an aggressor and have been for years. The MQ-9 has hard points that can carry the AIM-9X and 92. I would tell them next time they will be on the receiving end.

For example, we accidentally down a Russian jet and Putin decides to "incrementally" retaliate in such a way as accidentally spills over into Poland, which invokes Article V etc. Or Vlad decides to attack a US supply ship to send a message, which we take the wrong way and up the ante by blowing up more pipelines etc.
So many ways for sh*t to go sideways in a hot war and we have too little wiggle room not to get involved if any Magic NATO countries get involved...

But we basically watched the oil disappear over the course of a few weeks. Then we never heard another word about the spill.
Its also a case that the ocean is FREAKING GIGANTIC. Vast, almost impossible to imagine how much water is out there. Miles deep, over twenty thousand miles across. The amount of oil dumped in there was a lot, but its a tiny tiny drop in a lake superior amount, and even if there were not natural processes which break that stuff down... it wouldn't have any effect.

Historically there may have already been one attempt some years back when Putin's favorite driver died in a head-on collision. The possibility of US involvement didn't become apparent until later when Assange/Wikileaks revealed that the CIA could take over cars.

My worry is we will try and fail an assassination attempt on him.
Remember we already assassinated the daughter of one of his close allies and blew up his gas pipeline so we are acting beyond reckless.

Historically there may have already been one attempt some years back when Putin's favorite driver died in a head-on collision. The possibility of US involvement didn't become apparent until later when Assange/Wikileaks revealed that the CIA could take over cars.

So sorry. Your feelings are understandable and, though it's probably little comfort, there are many grateful citizens who respect you & your time in military service.
The future of this country is unimaginable without a smart, strong, well-trained & willing military.

Last post before back to work but I really think our elites have a more fundamental disconnection with reality. The "virtual" upbringing of so many even in Gen Z, and the increasingly magical/narrative thinking of the left, in which narratives and words ARE reality, has I believe left a huge core of our leftist elites (but I repeat myself) actually incapable of appreciating the reality of reality: that war and death are not things to be "spun" or imagined away with words. I hope I've cheered everyone up!

Today I learned that USB Type-C Power Delivery decoy boards exist, which allows you to use USB Type-C to power older equipment that use DC barrel jacks (as long as they run on a standard USB PD voltage like 5, 9, 12, 15 or 20 volts and don't draw more than 65 watts).
I ordered one to try it out. Could be very, very useful and allow me to power the few things I have with barrel jacks off of my big battery brick. Very cool.

Today, one day after many small banks nearly failed amid a surge in deposit outflows, we read that "after the back-to-back collapse of three smaller banks, their biggest US counterparts are seeing a rush of depositors fearful the crisis will spread."

And we are now all pissed off that they splashed a drone, not by shooting, but by 'clipping' it.... ie knocking it down so it can be recovered.
Note, drone would most probably have been launched from Turkey.

There was an odd side effect to the Wuhan Flu lockdown: Campbell's Soup was going bankrupt. People were just not buying their soup any more, it was looking very dire for the company. Then when everyone was locked down at home suddenly soup sales exploded: its a simple, easy, and tasty meal that anyone can make.
It saved Campbells. Now, their soup sucks warthog dingleberries compared to what they used to make, and the company is working on retooling and coming up with better flavors and more options now but it was very interesting to read about that.

What's going on is completely out of our control, we have zero power to change or alter what's coming, we tried to have say and control but the masters of the universe rejected that utterly and here we are, marching headlong into some very bad sh*t.

Its also a case that the ocean is FREAKING GIGANTIC. Vast, almost impossible to imagine how much water is out there. Miles deep, over twenty thousand miles across. The amount of oil dumped in there was a lot, but its a tiny tiny drop in a lake superior amount, and even if there were not natural processes which break that stuff down... it wouldn't have any effect.

The politics of Turkey and the Ukraine war is interesting.
I suspect Biden is giving them a ton of money and a free hand in Kurdistan and Syria in return for their help - because otherwise I suspect they'd be helping Russia.

True fact: Lockheed needed access to a lot of titanium to build it - at that time, most of that metal was mined in the USSR. The CIA set up several shell companies and got the USSR to sell us the titanium we needed. The Russians never found out until after the Cold War.

Those interested can review the story of when the visiting Germans took Crimea and then dealt with Soviet counter-offensives there.
Ukraine has no capability to re-take Crimea, and if there were a serious attempt to do so, Russia could shut it down. Geography and military resources pretty much make this the case.
Aside from the fact that the Ukes would be seen as foreign occupiers, much as they managed to make themselves regarded in some regions of eastern Ukraine.
Ukraine as currently constituted is burdened with far more historical, ethnic, regional, and oligarchic problems and divisions than anyone seems to be aware of. But Crimea really isn't even part of that.

It saved Campbells. Now, their soup sucks warthog dingleberries compared to what they used to make, and the company is working on retooling and coming up with better flavors and more options now but it was very interesting to read about that.

Not sure their soup has changed, has it? I think newer products just were better and had more flavor, making the "old" Campbell's taste bland. My dad swore by Campbell's tomato soup -- just the basic tomato soup -- from the time he was a kid until the day he died. I always thought it was crap.

Don't fly over it, drive through it. Buy gas. Go to some non-chain restaurants to eat. Talk to people. This country is vast and, on balance, full of decent people once you get out of the hellholes that are our urban centers. Flying between them makes you miss out on all that.

The Junta put out a Bidenette statement today on inflation, showing once again they have no idea what is happening,
Today's report shows annual inflation is down by a third from this summer at a time when the unemployment rate remains near a 50-year low. That is the slowest annual increase since September 2021. I will continue working to lower costs for hard-working Americans so they have a little more breathing room at the end of the month.
Meanwhile, shameless spin aside, the BLS reported inflation continues (even by thiser fake numbers)
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) rose 0.4 percent in February on a seasonally adjusted basis, after increasing 0.5 percent in January, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 6.0 percent before seasonal adjustment.
The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.5 percent in February, after rising 0.4 percent in January.

Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 6.0 percent before seasonal adjustment.
The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.5 percent in February, after rising 0.4 percent in January.

80% of the people in the US can't conceptualize how big TEXAS is, or Nebraska. They look at a map but they haven't ever tried to drive across them. This country if YUGE. And its only a small portion of the Urth.

As large as the United States is, Canada is significantly larger and only has about 10% of our population. Russia is even larger. It takes 3 days or so to drive across the U.S. It takes 3 *weeks* (or longer) to drive across Russia end to end.

Not sure their soup has changed, has it? I think newer products just were better and had more flavor, making the "old" Campbell's taste bland. My dad swore by Campbell's tomato soup -- just the basic tomato soup -- from the time he was a kid until the day he died. I always thought it was crap.

I remember when they were a regular sponsor of Lassie on Sunday evenings. Their ads always made the soup look so inviting, a winter day or evening with snow outside and a fire in the kitchen, etc. And years later, wasn't it Campbells with the ads featuring a little snowman in cap and muffler who comes into the house, sits before a steaming bowl of their soup, and defrosts into a little boy?
I still buy their Jazzy Jambalaya and their Chicken & Sausage blends. Though I suspect the chicken in them isn't much. The late cat Marie-Antoinette loved to score human chow, but she ignored Campbell's soups. The chicken in Wolfgang Puck soup sent her into transports of delight.

UK working to upgrade Ukrainian navy was one of the many military cooperation/training/sales efforts that amounted to de facto junior NATO membership (certainly in Moscow's eyes) that is the primary reason for what we see today. SBS was training naval special warfare folks down near Kherson, too.

You are correct, but it made me laugh. Having been on Russian roads east of the Urals, even if the distances were not vast, it would still take a long time. Some of the 'roads' are massive concrete blocks dropped in a line, and as the permafrost swallows them, they pile additional ones on top.

And removing Russian troops and the pro-Russian governments in Uke territory held by them pre-Feb. 2022? And re-taking Crimea? And regime change in Russia? When will Biden be satisfied? Biden has created a world-class political/military mess.

Seeing it in person is one of those special moments in a boy's life. Ultra impressive. It sits so high.

As SR-71 sits about 1.5 miles from me at the Castle Air Museum in Calif.... damn impressive.

Cool. I was lucky growing up. Wright-Patterson was only a couple hours away. Dad took me two or three times and I went once with Scouts.

I laugh at my wife often because she has a tendency to mess up common euphemisms.
She laughs too. As long as you don't take yourself too seriously, you can laugh, and be laughed, at AND with.

I saw one fly during an air show here in OKC. Did a flyby on military power then nosed up and hit the burners. You could feel the power down to the soul.

Texas is big enough to house the population of the entire world with room to spare. I want to say the population density would be something like 5 people per quarter acre. (My math skills are suspe t, so, grain of salt and all that.)

I just had to look it up. The entire world, every man, woman and child, could fit into the State of Tejas with a population density of NYCity!
Suck it, Erlichman!

Was sitting in an administrative court a few years ago. The building was about a mile from Stewart airbase in Newburgh. The building started shaking and I looked out the window and a B-2 was flying away. It had just been christened The Spirit of New York.

Why must the president always be walking up and down the stairs of AF One?
Why not just install a chute

Very soon after the wraps were off, I saw an F-111 in the flesh. It looked awkward, not 'pretty' at all. Somewhat demonesque. I had the feeling that it might say, 'Of course I'm not pretty, I'm here to kill you.'

Falling down stairs is all the rage these days, someone took a tumble down the steps at the Oscars, supposedly. Its hip, its now, its what all the cool kids are doing.

I am a bit confused by that myself

There's a replica at the Evergreen museum in Oregon, not far from me. The most impressive thing there is the Spruce Goose though. Absolutely nothing compares.

"I cannot comment on a matter that is currently under investigation" is DOJ-speak for "on the advice of counsel, I decline to answer on the grounds that my answer may tend to incriminate me".

Conspiring with someone that steals and uses a Social Security number is a felony. An organization that conspires in criminal activities should be subject to RICO prosecutions. The DNC and DCCC have more illegal irons in the fire than just this. We should be able to lock up half of Congress.

Most beautiful aircraft of all time? Answer: SR71. Others may disagree, but they'd be wrong. There's one of the deck of the Intrepid on Manhattan's west side that I see all the time driving past. Like something out of a sci-fi movie. It was my fav plane as a kid and still is.

There's an Oxcart (single seat CIA predecessor to the Air Force's two seat Blackbird) at the Alabama Space and Rocket Museum.
Surprised Colorado hasn't claimed it was improperly allocated for political purposes.
