The Morning Report — 9/12/23

Good morning, kids. It's somewhat of a miracle of modern medicine that Joe "Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants" Biden, whose rate of loss of brain function is progressing geometrically, is still able to stand and speak in front of an audience. Of course what comes out of his maw besides flecks of spittle and half-digested Maypo is becoming more and more disjointed and incoherent as each day passes. And no amount of medication let alone censorship/obfuscation by an obliging propaganda industry can hide it.

Worse for them, the policies that they instituted are so destructive across the board that rock-solid leftist constituencies are getting exactly what they voted for, good and hard. And they're not liking it. Most dangerously for the Junta, it's not just affecting the vegetable-in-chief but the rest of the party, most notably Alexandria "Titty-Caca" "Donkey Chompers" Ocasio-Cortez who even her own low-information constituency isn't buying her line about inflation and who is to blame for the fact that the value and buying power of a dollar is shrinking to that of about a dime, and falling.

Not that she even ventures to Corona or the Bronx these days, but all over town, people have had it with the disaster of "sanctuary" policies, so much so that this eye-popping poll should be cause for alarm for the Dems.

41 Per Cent of New Yorkers Want US-Mexico Border Wall to Curb Illegal Immigration

While the poll is reflective of the entire state, the Rotten Apple's population is not an insignificant portion of that total. That said, call me when a plurality call for the deportation of all illegal aliens as far south of the border to the Ross Ice Shelf as you can get.

Still, it's one thing to "Imagine" that John Lennon's lyrics are a solid, practical plan to order society instead of a godless, nihilistic illusion, until the reality of crime, disease, economic collapse and general dissolution after you try and implement it hits you right in the face. Naturally, Democrat stooges like Eric Adams will blame anything but their own policies for the catastrophe. But as I said, more and more people across the political landscape aren't buying it. Whether the scales fall fully from their eyes and recognize who and what is responsible is the big question, and that's always in doubt. One of the most difficult things anyone can do in this life is to admit to themselves that they were wrong, especially when it comes to their politics and general world view. Still, it happens, if not to the degree that we would like to see. Maybe it takes a total collapse to bring that about.

Speaking of total collapse and Psaki-psircling back to Biden, his brain farts got so bad that Karine Jean-Pierre actually had to give him the hook and cut off his mike at that disastrous Vietnam "press conference." Yet it didn't stop him from debasing the memory of 9/11. He boycotted the ceremony, or more accurately, was prevented by his handlers from making an appearance for obvious reasons, and instead sent the cackling sword-swallower posing as VP in his stead. Perfect, considering she and Adams are feuding over the migrant crisis destroying what's left of NYC. Made for some interesting optics. Meh, she too ankled early in the middle of the traditional reading of the names of the victims, just like Biden did last week before the conclusion of that Medal of Honor ceremony. Class acts, those two.

Of course, Biden was there 22 years ago the day after the towers fell. At least that's what he claims. He was there to help rescuers search for his late son Beau, whose heroism in holding up the South Tower with his bare hands let dozens of people escape certain death before it collapsed in on him and took his life. You know, they say a coward dies a thousand times but a hero dies but once. Funny how Beau seems to have died a thousand times as well. In Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, the Challenger explosion, the Titanic, D-Day, in the Bermuda Triangle, in a car accident and from cancer. What a guy. What a father, right?

It is to laugh, but it's deadly serious.

From the moment Joe Biden -- infirm, incontinent, mentally challenged (even in the best of times), crotchety, cranky, boastful, and mendacious, a lifelong pig sucking at the teat of government -- took office and immediately decided to "rule" by executive order, the Constitution has been under explicit attack from those who abjure its existence and wish to see it nullified in nearly every particular. Democrat opposition to the nation-as-founded didn't start with Biden, of course: during his term in office, Aaron Burr, Thomas Jefferson's first vice president, murdered Alexander Hamilton and hatched his plot to sell out the United States. Burr was arrested and charged with treason in 1807 under the clause in the Constitution that reads:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court. The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted.
. . . Owing in large part to specificity of the Treason Clause, Burr was acquitted at trial. Ever since, anti-American rogues have skated. Woodrow Wilson had little or no use for the Constitution and subverted it as often as he could, including his constant odes to "democracy" instead of republican democracy -- now the norm on the "progressive" left. Franklin Roosevelt invoked both the Depression and presidential wartime powers to get around many of its pesky provisions, eventually browbeating the Supreme Court into submission. . .
. . . You know we're in trouble when a sitting governor -- a Democrat, of course -- can announce with a straight face that "no Constitutional right is absolute," and that her own order declaring an "emergency" gives her "additional powers" to suspend the law of the land. But hey, why shouldn't she think that? Thanks to the supine final year of the Trump presidency, the unelected bureaucrat Anthony Fauci did just that, and has paid absolutely no legal or financial penalty for his effrontery. Indeed, the pestiferous midget is back in the public eye once more, trying to resurrect the Covid Hoax.

As friend and friend of the blog Michael Walsh also notes in that excellent essay:

Finally, just today, the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks Biden did his country yet another disservice by announcing his support for international terrorism in the form of $6 billion Iranian assets in the U.S. now being unfrozen as part of a "prisoner swap".

$6 billion dollars to a regime that is arguably the largest single source and exporter of terrorism that if it did not have a hand in 9/11 certainly cheered it on and perhaps killed at least as many innocent people at home and abroad in the 44 years of its accursed existence.

It's one thing to look at the source(s) of global terrorism, 99.999% of it Muslim-inspired, yet the insanity of foreign policy from Foggy Bottom and the complete ineptitude of law enforcement and national security left us totally exposed on that day and many days since. I give you the FBI:

The Terrorist Screening Center, in Vienna Virginia, was established in 2003 to “consolidate the government’s approach to terrorism,” The TSC is administered by the FBI, with support from the Intelligence Community, Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, Department of State, Department of Treasury, and Department of Defense.
The impact of 9/11, Wray explained, “profoundly shaped the way we do our jobs, the way we collaborate and communicate with partners, and the way we tackle challenges. Really, it all comes down to one thing—keeping people we will never know, and families we will never meet, safe from harm.” Wray did not put a number to “the people who died that day,” and the only casualties he named were two FBI agents.
“Because of that terrible day, we’ve transformed the bureau in ways that have made us stronger and better, and our country safer. Those transformations have proven critical over the past 21 years—and will remain critical in the face of a continuously evolving terrorist threat. As we carry on this mission to protect Americans from terrorism, we bring to our work the same sense of purpose and resolve that we felt on 9/11 and in the days that followed.”
And so on, with a few significant omissions. The FBI failed to prevent the attack of September 11, 2001, and also slipped up on the prequel.
In 1993, the FBI failed to prevent Islamic terrorists from bombing the World Trade Center, which claimed six victims. The lessons went unlearned. For all its money, power and resources, the FBI failed to prevent terrorists from hijacking airliners and crashing them into the Pentagon and World Trade Center.
“Domestic agencies” such as the FBI “never mobilized in response to the threat,” The 9/11 Commission Report concluded. “They didn’t have a plan,” and “the public was not warned.” The FBI Inspector General contributed to the report, so FBI incompetence was doubtless worse than indicated. No word about any FBI bosses being disciplined, demoted or discharged over the failure, which continued. . .
. . . For Christopher Wray, the Terrorist Screening Center is “a prime example of the strides we made following the attacks, developing new capabilities and working in concert with our partners to keep people safe. It demonstrates the ingenuity, the dedication, and the spirit of collaboration we’ve brought—as a collective law enforcement and intelligence community—to the fight against terrorism.” Evidence of those strides at Fort Hood, Boston, San Bernardino and Orlando is hard to find.
The Terrorist Screening Center is like a screen door on a submarine. The FBI does not protect the people and does not keep the nation safe from terrorism. The struggle against FBI failure is the struggle of memory against forgetting.

While the estimable Lloyd Billingsley catalogs the abject failures of that agency to detect and prevent attacks from everyone from Nidal Hassan to Omar Mateen and the Boston Marathon bombing, he does not go into any details about how the FBI creates entrapment scams to boost its image and budget as well as its use as a weapon of political repression against the American citizenry. That is, citizens who are out of favor with the Leftist/globalist agenda.

As Joey Biden might say, "Happy 9/11 day!"

ABOVE THE FOLD, BREAKING, NOTEWORTHY

Michael Walsh: "How much more contemptuous can this [junta] get? But none dare call it treason, even though we're all watching it unfold in real time. 'If you can keep it?' It is to laugh."

The Frightened Left

I admire VDHs intellect, but when it comes to modern American politics, the man is either willfully ignorant or dumber than AOC. The GOP will never ram the Dems' own treasonous behavior back down their throats because they don't want to.

The left is not 'frightened,' for fuck's sake. Does the NM governor act like someone who's scared? Give it a rest, VDH.

Posted by: Mary Poppins' Practically Perfect Piercing at September 12, 2023 08:03 AM (AW0uW)

27 9/11 not only started a war that resulted in the unequivocal, ignominious military defeat of a global hegemon, but created the internal situation necessary for its own domestic enemies to dismantle its government brick by brick and replace it with their regime.

At the cost of fewer than two dozen minimally trained goatfucking barbarians.

That has to be one of the most successful single attacks in the long history of warfare. If not the most successful.

34 While the poll is reflective of the entire state, the Rotten Apple's population is not an insignificant portion of that total. That said, call me when a plurality call for the deportation of all illegal aliens as far south of the border to the Ross Ice Shelf as you can get.
++++
A plurality can call for anything it damn well pleases. So, for that matter, can an outright majority or even a dominating, commanding majority.

Zero, 25, 50 or 75. All of these are the same effective weight. The ruling authorities - most would call it "the government," but I think that's less and less and accurate with each passing day - do not care. They are not responsive to the people, nor are they accountable to the people. The joke of elections can, at best and assuming a modicum of honesty (or even just boundaries on the scale of available cheating), eliminate one elected Uniparty official cooperative with and beholden to the Deep State with another of exactly the same type in all the meaningful particulars.

So yeah. Assuming the poll is correct, the plurality is remarkable for its novelty. It is not, however, meaningful.

Thanks, JJ. That riff about Beau holding up the tower walls to save dozens is funny!

After 9/11 I’ll admit I was afraid of Islamic terrorist jihadis. Now? I’m more afraid of my own government and people in it like Wray who seem to have zero capacity for introspection. Their worldview seems to be govt = right and good and they’ve never heard Lord Acton’s dictum apparently. The FIB had a hand in taking out Nixon for basically nothing (Mark Felt on a revenge tour because he didn’t get promoted)… so they’ve long had problems, but they really became feral after 9/11. Now they’re more focused on granny at the Capitol than actual jihadis…

41 The Terrorist Screening Center is like a screen door on a submarine. The FBI does not protect the people and does not keep the nation safe from terrorism. The struggle against FBI failure is the struggle of memory against forgetting.

As I posted earlier:

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced on September 6 that $20 million in federal grants (your tax dollars) will be handed out to 34 organizations to “prevent targeted violence and terrorism.”

The $20 million is going to universities, behavioral and mental-health providers, youth services organizations, schools, churches and faith leaders, and state law enforcement agencies. Their job will be to identify political dissidents and foster interventions among those Americans considered to be “going down a path toward violence.”

The key mistake here is assuming that it is, because it doesn't do what it was "supposed" to do.

This is a critical error. It is not a "screen door on a submarine" just because it "fails" at its "mission" to detect and intervene against terrorists. That isn't its mission, and it isn't a failure. The mission - like all of the FBI's missions and the mission of the ruling establishment more broadly - is to spy on, interfere with, terrify and broadly oppress the American people. I am certain that this "Terrorist Screening Center" is, in reality and in accordance with its *true* mission, doing a bang-up job.

Never assume that they're failing. They rarely do. What looks like failure is in many if not most cases merely a misunderstanding of the mission.

66 Why Oliver Anthony Hates Welfare

--

Long, long ago, welfare ceased to be a program to help the truly destitute for a short period of time and became a passed-down-through-generations means of support. A hammock, removing all incentive to better one's life. I still don't have a problem with the idea of welfare, but only when there is a lifetime cap (5 years, perhaps). It should never, ever have become the monster it's become, and a way of life passed down through the generations by families who know how to "work the system."

People on the right never cease to astound me with their amazing ability to misread every single situation that ever happens. It's just an astounding and near-total break with reality, where whatever they desire to be simply is, without regard to *any* actual circumstances. You see it all the time, in myriad ways, from election campaigns to popular culture, to demographics, to the justice system, and on and on, ad infinitum.

But a real shining example of this phenomenon is the vague but constant assertion that the buck-wild, barking mad tyrants who ceaselessly, gleefully ridicule and torment their utterly defeated political enemies are, by virtue of this behavior, afraid of them.

There are people in basements with blacked out windows, drinking their own urine and typing stuff online about the lizard people, and they make more sense than the right wing commentariat. #TwoWeeks, indeed.

Shortly after he became Vice-President, Coolidge was deluged with invitations to become honorary president of this club and that organization.

One day the president of a small Washington bank came to him, explained that his bank was small, new, but soundly managed - a worthy institution. Would Mr Coolidge honor the bank with a deposit - any amount, however small, would be appreciated, would be a great honor.

"Why don't you make me an honorary depositor?" Coolidge asked.

80 Long, long ago, welfare ceased to be a program to help the truly destitute for a short period of time and became a passed-down-through-generations means of support. A hammock, removing all incentive to better one's life. I still don't have a problem with the idea of welfare, but only when there is a lifetime cap (5 years, perhaps). It should never, ever have become the monster it's become, and a way of life passed down through the generations by families who know how to "work the system."

Without pissing off Ace and writing something that crosses a line, this is now an existential struggle. And we are losing it.

America can not be reborn or rescued or whatever, as it once was. Not if a significant portion of the population seeks to use its freedom to enslave those with which it regards as its enemies. As has been done to us.

I want to vanquish the Left, period. What comes after is up for debate so long as the Left is never allowed anywhere within a trillion light years of the levers of power in and out of government.

He beat the Bears to a pulp over and over again and talked trash in the process. Plus he just seemed like a weird dude, estranged from his family, BUT…. I actually feel bad for him today. I came to respect the guy when he did his own thing on the Covid “vax”…. And now as an “old” guy myself who’s experiencing some aging issues with my body (new artificial knee), I feel bad for his injury. It could end his career…. I won’t shed any tears; the guy has enough money to bathe in…. But athletes (even weekend warriors like me) can find it hard to deal with when their body betrays them….

"What in hell is that noise?" he asked.

Unruffled, Coolidge drawled, "That deposit of mine drawing interest."

209 "Iran now has the capacity to fuel 6 nuclear warheads in 1 month’s time, and 10 within 4 months, according to an analysis of the latest data released by a nuclear watchdog.

Iran has the resources and technical know-how to "produce enough [weapons-grade uranium] for six nuclear weapons in one month, eight in two months, nine in three months, and ten in four months," according to the Institute for Science and International Security, a think tank that reviewed the latest disclosures about Tehran’s atomic stockpile from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)."

Iran is working to build Little Boy uranium-only fission bombs. No plutonium needed. Easy-peasy for competent nuclear and weapon-design engineers. They have 60 years of published theoretical and technical papers to aid their work. It is such a simple and fool-proof design that a Little Boy was not full-scale tested before one was dropped on Hiroshima. Only laboratory testing to verify the bomb's fission ability was performed. Using U-235 masses equivalent to Little Boy's uranium components . Ugh. Thanks, Obama and Joe, you bums.

No one likes to be a sucka and EVs are aimed at the rich to spend some cash on for a status bauble, and to fleece the gullible and stupid. The G and S may also not care for that.

No, no-- it's not that Ukraine is corrupt, skimmed off all the aid to line pockets, never had a chance to win, etc.

He was supposed to give them millions in free satellite use.
Sure, sure, they were getting billions from all over the world for free but he alone should lose money so they could win.

Inflation is "easy" in that you don't have to pass a tax increase to loot the productive class, but you can't carve out exceptions for your allies either.

Since the Junta controls the Dems and most of the Republicans you'd think they'd just implement crushing taxes on normies instead of inflating away their wealth...because then you could protect members of the inner and outer parties.

242 $6 billion dollars to a regime that is arguably the largest single source and exporter of terrorism that if it did not have a hand in 9/11 certainly cheered it on and perhaps killed at least as many innocent people at home and abroad in the 44 years of its accursed existence.

It's definitely arguable.

The United States has fomented more violent revolution, military coups, societal destabilization, sold more weapons, invaded more countries, seized more territory, and set off more civil wars than Iran has, by orders of magnitude,

We are the ones that nuke people. We are the ones that spread Stuxnet. We are the ones that fund Kurdish rebellion, we are the ones that touch off Arab Springs, we are the ones that drone strike Arab leaders.

You can argue it's warranted if you like, I don't mind. But to pretend that we find it abhorrent behavior to create global terror and disorder is laughable. We love it. It's our national past time, more so than baseball or apple pie.

It is, in a very real sense, who he is. To acknowledge that America has fallen - past tense, over and done with - is to, in a sense, commit suicide.

VDH has been pointing out the radicalization and Maoist leanings of the Democrat party for years. He calls them Jacobins and revolutionaries that won't stop until we stop them. Not sure were people get the idea that he does not clearly see what everyone else sees.

Besides that swipe, excellent article. I don't think anyone can argue that the nation is at dire risk in 2023. The Biden-McConnell-Progressive-Big Business Alliance is taking a sledgehammer to what's left of our once great nation. Laws are ignored or weaponized to only affect conservative citizens, with the purpose of rendering us silent out of fear. They said it could happen here. Orwell warned future generations, as did Huxley. Little did we realized their dystopian visions would both be combined to rob us of all independence. At least 7 out of 10 people I encounter these days are on some form of pill, be it for ADD, ADHD or Bipolar Disorder. Speaking of that last one, it seems most who claim to be Bipolar are using the condition to cover for their piss-poor behavior. They aren't suffering with anything. They are horrible human beings who live by excusing themselves for the harm they cause. And where in the world are our churches now? We need the Lord more than ever but only get crickets from our religious leaders. Except Satanists. They seem to be everywhere now.

The fact that they're setting up roadblocks gives me some hope. Every homeowner in the area should just defy the police and leave the keys in the least dependable car they own. I think that's the best chance they have of capture and kill.

More than that. He's been asked, in essence, to turn over Starlink to the US government as an intelligence asset. The demand is that he leave Starlink active over the entire theater of combat - wherever that theater happens to be, whether in support of defense or offense, on the US government's order.

Based on my shaky knowledge of the incident in question, he refused to provide coverage for a Ukrainian offensive attack into Crimea, which is not a theater of combat per the original terms. He didn't want to be responsible for a major escalation, and turned off the system around Sevastopol. It wasn't about money, it was about being complicit in a major escalation into a new theater that was not directly related to the core mission. This assessment is unacceptable to the US government.

It wasn't a choice, it's a consequence. Proximally, it's a consequence of the completely unhinged spending that began under Trump to pay for the COVID insanity, and then immediately compounded by Biden to buy "landmark legislation." Distally, it's a consequence of outrageous spending misbehavior for at least 30 years. We were able to sequester the inflationary effects of our heedless spending in international trade flows for a long time, but that party is over.

The key problem is that to tackle the inflation - not undo it, just to stop the bleeding - we have to quit spending more than we produce. The government must run a balanced budget and the Fed must continue to allow interest rates and currency values to adjust to the prevailing reality. That cannot be done without killing the entire system that of all the powers that have been slurping at the trough for decades.

I suspect we are largely saying the same thing but the choices Biden had:

1) Stop the spending, minimize inflation
2) Continue the spending, add massive tax increases on targeted enemy groups, minimize inflation
3) Continue the spending, accept hyperinflation

Since Biden's goal is to loot the nation, #1 obviously isn't happening, but I would have expected #2 instead of #3.

298 Good morning, all, and thanks, J.J. -

On our solemn day of remembrance, 9/11, Reuters article: "US, Vietnam firms talk business during Biden visit; AI and Boeing deals unveiled." (FJB's visit to the McCain 'monument' must have been no farther than down-the-block from the business meeting.)

ALSO, on 9/11 & while the open carry gun hooha was being hotly debated in New Mexico yesterday, John Podesta, Senior Advisor to the President for Clean Energy Innovation & Implementation was attending the groundbreaking of the massive SunZia Transmission Project.

DOI dot gov: It's "composed of two planned 500-kilovolt transmission lines located across approximately 520 miles of federal, state and private lands between central New Mexico and central Arizona." In addition to the transmission line, more than 900 wind turbines across three counties in New Mexico will be installed.

Podesta read, it'll employ 2,000 union workers (IBEW) in its construction & provide employment for 150 workers upon completion. (YouTube)

Not even 9/11 pauses the Global Infrastructure and Investment folks. Equity.

Peace.

Some time around the Rams superbowl is when I stopped giving a shit.

This is why the left is afraid of Trump. And yes, they are deeply afraid of him.

He is creating a movement not a campaign. He is beholden to nobody and says whatever he wants to say and he is speaking for an increasingly large number of Americans of all walks of life who are pissed off and tired of the corruption and destruction they see right before their eyes.

The left in this country has joined forces with the international globalist movement, the WEF, the UN, pick you target they are all of a piece and Trump is leading the nationalist pushback. Our left doesn't care about the Constitution because they follow a different one. And this is happening all over the world in western countries. All western countries didn't just adopt climate change and overgrown golf carts by chance.

Trump is not an existing structure. He's our weapon. That's why he's so popular and getting more popular every day.

Eventually, the latter. It is inevitable now. The real problem isn't even Iran, it's Russia.

With Iran, there was broad international support for the action and tacit agreement with it even by nominal opponents. It was also technically executed lawfully and affected only direct state assets. With Russia, it's an entirely different story. It's just flat-out extralegal robbery, including of private (albeit well-connected and powerful) citizens. The far bigger problem is their ejection from trade systems like SWIFT and the US unilaterally icing out things like insurance coverage for shipping and attempting to control petroleum pricing and flows based on country of origin.

What we've done with Russia is far, far more destabilizing than anything we ever did with Iran.

Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal
The source was CNN referencing Walter Isaacson's biography.

Thank you for clarifying the facts, and glad to see Starlink was not activated in such a contentious territory.

Elon Musk @elonmusk Replying to @MarioNawfal
There was an emergency request from government authorities to activate Starlink all the way to Sevastopol.

The obvious intent being to sink most of the Russian fleet at anchor.

If I had agreed to their request, then SpaceX would be explicitly complicit in a major act of war and conflict escalation.

To clarify on the Starlink issue: the Ukrainians THOUGHT coverage was enabled all the way to Crimea, but it was not. They asked Musk to enable it for their drone sub attack on the Russian fleet. Musk did not enable it, because he thought, probably correctly, that would cause a major war.

Elon Musk @elonmusk Sep 9
Much appreciated, Walter.

The onus is meaningfully different if I refused to act upon a request from Ukraine vs. made a deliberate change to Starlink to thwart Ukraine.

At no point did I or anyone at SpaceX promise coverage over Crimea.

Moreover, our terms of service clearly prohibit Starlink for offensive military action, as we are a civilian system, so they were again asking for something that was expressly prohibited.

SpaceX is building Starshield for the US government, which is similar to, but much smaller than Starlink, as it will not have to handle millions of users. That system will be owned and controlled by the US government.

He showed up for a company product launch party. I wandered into a room with a table full of food and he was filling his plate. I said, "Hi, Mr. Tarkenton. I'm a big fan.

The adherence to process and building the appropriate coalitions doesn't change what it is, but it changes the consequences rather a lot. With Iran, the niceties were followed. With Russia, they were not - and it went much, much further and included things previously considered untouchable (international settlements, carriage contracts, etc.).

With Iran, the old rules were still in effect. With Russia, the new rules - which are really no rules - came into effect. Those new rules are untenable and will cause the underlying structure to collapse. The risks of US-dominated trading and transport systems are now too great to be borne for too many other parties.

The consequences of this will be profound.

Another friend:

Just passed 23 and 100. A lot of cops and cops at the entrance of the High school with guns drawn. Word of mouth is the house he broke into last night and got the gun was apparently a house his sister used to clean and knew they had guns in the house.

Reportedly, it's costing $1.6 million a week to pursue the 34-year-old Brazilian national, Pennsylvania prison escapee.

There are now 600 pursuers including the U.S. Marshalls. It may rise to 1,000 pursuers as it's now alleged he has a loaded rifle from the garage of where a homeowner shot at him several (7) times.

(As crazy when it was alleged Delcave might have once been inside a house & signaled his presence to the homeowner via flicking a light switch.)

Horses, helicopters, dogs...

358 301 Divide by Zero, I was in West Chester at The Strawberry Sampler and in Frazer at the Fireside Stitchery when I was there. I really liked the area alot. I noticed a lot of indians but not that many hispanics. I'm from CT so pretty much anything is an improvement.

359 They view it as "America makes the rules, which we have no meaningful say in, and then says robbing us is legal."

One is free to say "I don't care how they see it", that's fine. But that's anything but diplomacy. It's war.

Irritating distinction, since Iran recognizes no law other than necessity in executing their mission. ANYTHING that opposes them, law, people, governments whatever is by definition illegal. By your rule ("how do they see it?") your existence is an affront and a casus belli.

360 The filing argues that Judge Tanya Chutkan, an Obama appointee, should recuse herself from the case, alleging she suggested elsewhere that Trump should be prosecuted and imprisoned.

A dirty judge is a dirty judge. She won't recuse herself.
If anything the last decade has taught me, our legal system does not afford justice, it affords results to those who best manipulate the system, which includes prosecutors who illegally withhold exculpatory evidence (and are never punished for it), judges who make wild decisions (because they either have a predetermined bias or are paid off or are blackmailed), and juries that are allowed with known pre-determined biases.

Yes.

I was at that game. Vinny went down like he was shot. First game of the season, coming off an appearance in the AFC Championship game the year before. Woe, to be a Jets fan.

364 One female platoon sergeant has alleged a senior male commander was intimidating servicewomen into having sex with him, threatening that he would start “sending their husbands who were also in the brigade to their deaths” if they refused him.

And that's why fragging is a thing.

It's a nice area. Four distinct seasons. Decent state to retire to, as no tax on SS or pensions. A number of state parks in the area with hiking, fishing, boating galore. But kinda pricey is the only criticism.

The average sized single family home in my area is pushing a million dollars. I know a couple that recently looked at a 1,000 foot single family home priced in the 400,000 dollar range.

As far as minority representation near me, not much of anything to report. A little of this, a little of that.

366 While she worked in the Treasury Department during the Obama-Biden Administration, President Biden’s niece, Casey Owens, reportedly sent information on China Investment Corporation (CIC), China’s largest sovereign wealth fund, to Hunter Biden and the other president of his firm through email. When Owens spoke with Hunter and his longtime business partner, Eric Schwerin, about the CIC, a state-owned organization that oversees a portion of the Chinese government’s foreign exchange reserves, she was working as a special assistant for the United States-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue at the Treasury Department.

367 so which 2 of the 19 9/11 terrorists on planes were FBI agents?

372 Yes, home prices are out of control. I look on line at homes in the Western US just for laughs, and some of these bigger family homes have DOUBLED in price since 2021. Two years? What is up?

373 I am reading, "The Puppeteers" by Jason Chaffetz. I bought it awhile ago while I was browsing through the local B&N and felt guilt-tripped into buying something. I was bored by it and put it down; I am glad I resumed reading it.
I am on the section where it talks about PATCON, the program designed to "infiltrate and incite" white supremacist groups. And that is what they did, incited once they infiltrated. The goal of the FBI was to encourage people to commit crimes.
My intention before writing this was to look up COINTELPRO, a program that was in the news regarding FBI Civil Rights Abuses. I hope I do not find the names Comey, Mueller, Wray, or Fitzgerald involved in it, much less Corrupt Jack Smith.

374 Also of note, as part of PATCON, it is asserted that the FBI was complicit with the Oklahoma City Bombing. That means that the FBI was involved with others in the Oklahoma City Bombing.
All this time we were presuming that Tim McVeigh had links to Jihadi Terrorists. But now, it appears that the links Tim McVeigh had were to the FBI. Perhaps that is why we saw the fastest execution of a violent criminal since Virgil Earp convinced his brothers to accompany him to a meeting at the O.K. Corral.
