A third of all federal judges on the DC district court were born outside the United States.
What a surprise. All day long I've dreaded having to even comment on this story because it's so preposterously trivial. Matt Vespa:
The United States District Court for the District of Columbia, the source of many of the cases interfering with President Donald Trump's authority, has 15 judges, (Counting Chief Judge James Boasberg) and five of them were born outside the United States. While country of origin doesn't come up in most jobs, it is worth asking if judges with ties to foreign nations and cultures are the right ones to make decisions affecting the U.S. military or immigration. The concept of foreign-born judges is a newer phenomenon in this district. In addition to the 15 main judges, the D.C. District has 10 older, senior judges who still occasionally hear cases in the district. This group, nominated as far back as Ronald Reagan the 1980s, were all born in the U.S. But starting in 2014, former President Barack Obama appointed Judge Tanya Sue Chutkan, born in Kingston, Jamaica. She was in the U.S. by 1979, attending George Washington University. Before sitting on federal court, she had no experience as a judge. Chutkan is overseeing the legal challenge to DOGE's work to slash excess government spending. Obama also appointed Judge Amit P. Mehta to the D.C. court. Mehta also had no previous experience as a judge. Mehta was born in Patan, Gujarat, India. He and his parents came to the U.S. when he was a baby, age one. He was raised in Maryland. Mehta will oversee four January 6 civil cases that aim to blame Trump for injuries and squeeze money, court time, and political embarrassment out of him. The other three foreign born judges were nominated by former President Joe Biden.
So, what the hell is this story now? It's a warning that perhaps more administrative due diligence should be applied when creating these group chats on encrypted and secure messenger apps. Still, while alarming at first, the hubbub is dying down quickly. This story in The Atlantic that secret war plans were disclosed to known anti-Trump fake news writer Jeffrey Goldberg, who was accidentally added to the group, is falling apart faster than a skiff made of paper.It turns out that serial hoaxer Jeffrey Goldberg, of the "You gotta believe me brah, Trump totally called veterans 'suckers and losers,' I'm telling you brah" hoax, claimed he received "classified information" when some unknown staffer accidentally added his name to a group Signal chat about the Houthis. He said he wouldn't reveal the classified information, but you gotta believe me brah, I totally received it, I just can't say what it was brah, it's so classified that Sacred Honor compels my silence. Well Pete Hegseth and Tulsi Gabbard have told him put up or shut up, giving him permission to reveal this supposedly super-classified information that he's telling us is so classified he can't talk about it. And he's not revealing what it was, because it was nothing, and he's another fucking liar at Steve Jobs' AWFL wife's vanity magazine The Atlantic. I don't even understand what I'm supposed to be so upset by: If everything the liar Jeffrey Goldberg said was true, which it isn't because all he does is lie on behalf of the neocon sect of the Democrat Party establishment, then what happened was that someone accidentally added him to a group chat he shouldn't have been added to and he saw some exchanges between some top Trump officials. So someone did an oopsie with a fat finger, and -- what? Trump should resign? Fire Tulsi Gabbard? Fire Pete Hegseth? Why? It gets worse when you consider Sean Davis' claim that it was Jeffrey Goldberg's friend, who works for Trump negotiator Michael Waltz, who was responsible for accidentally adding Goldberg. Goldberg ignores that and just asserts, insanely, that Pete Hegseth should resign for a very minor glitch committed by, Sean Davis alleges, Goldberg's fucking pal.
Kurt SchlichterThis is just another hysterical meltdown by the pill-popping anxiety-ridden neurotics of the liberal non-thinking class looking for a new Russia Russia Russia fake scandal to scream about while collecting clickbait money from their degenerate mentally-ill readers/victims. I don't even think this rates this response. This is sub-nothing. Hey, lefty pill-poppers and impotent alcoholics and closet-cases: Go fuck yourselves to death. Here, let me propose what the left always proposes when the bureaucracy commits actual crimes: We mustn't fire anyone, we must reform the procedures!!! Australian universities are so dependent on US welfare that they've called for a crisis meeting in the wake of Trump's cuts to USAID.
@KurtSchlichter The Signal chat thing is a gut check for alleged cons. Nothing significant was revealed. Worst case, it was a mistake that will never happen again. More likely, a proven liar has now lied about at least some of it. And yet, so many people are delighted to have the opportunity to freak out about something that Trump administration did. It's bizarre how they play along with leftist narratives. The answer to your enemies is to give them nothing. Nothing. You're not being principled. You're not demonstrating integrity. You're showing weakness. Never ever ever give them the head of one of your allies. Understand that your enemies never get anything except pain and mockery. There's no such thing as even handedness. Either win or you lose. I choose winning. You do you.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has faced calls to respond after the Trump administration cut funding to seven Australian universities. The administration's move came after US agencies asked Australian researchers to justify why they should continue receiving American research grants. The surveys they received asked several questions including whether the researchers had received funding from China, and if their university had recognised only two sexes - male and female. The institutions which have had their funding cut are the Australian National University, Monash University, University of Technology Sydney, University of NSW, Charles Darwin University, Macquarie University and UNSW. Australian Academy of Science chief executive Anna-Maria Arabia told the Australian Financial Review the federal government had to be quicker to respond to the cuts rather than choosing to "wait and see". "It is incumbent on the prime minister to call an emergency meeting of the National Science and Technology Council, which he chairs, compelling all ministers to the table to share intel and comprehensively assess the extent of Australia's exposure to a reduction in US R&D investment across portfolios," Ms Arabia said. "The consequences of inaction are profound with consequences for every Australian's way of life," she said.Let me get this off my chest: It is in fact racist that we continue to pump trillions in US taxpayer dollars to these relatively well-off white layabouts in Europe and Australia, and I demand an END to this racist welfare regime. Cut them all off. Make these sexually-twisted white (for the moment) perpetual adolescents pay their own way for the first time in their lives. I can't believe this, but the race hustler fired from MSNBC, Tiffany Cross, went on CNN to attack Trump for deporting violent criminals while, get this, playing the race card. It's almost as if -- as if -- she's an extremely stupid robot whose one trick is blaming The White Man.

Jasmine Crockett called wheelchair-bound Governor Gregg Abbott "Governor Hot Wheels."
Texas Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett has been trying to out-AOC NY Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and to out-Bern Vermont independent Sen. Bernie Sanders with her zany comments and air of lunacy lately. She's threatened DOGE chief Elon Musk--it was disturbing enough that the attorney general of the United States warned her to "tread carefully"--and in a recent interview, she said that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) needed to be "knocked over the head."Now this low-IQ c*nt claims she wasn't referring to his wheelchair. She blames us for "misinterpreting" her.
Advertisement Your U.S. representative at work: Later on Monday, though, she crossed any bounds of decency and openly mocked Lone Star State Governor Greg Abbott's disability. Speaking at the Human Rights Campaign Los Angeles Dinner, she lowered herself to a new level of deplorable when she called him "Governor Hot Wheels," presumably because he is confined to a wheelchair.

Lmao. Next level gaslighting right here. pic.twitter.com/qQ99rByUj6
Oh no -- just after Jasmine Crockett called for Republicans to be "punched" and for Ted Cruz to be punched specifically in the head, "hard," until he was knocked over, Jasmine Crockett is now herself facing security threats and people trying to lay unfriendly hands on her! What is this strange situation I find myself in -- could it be, the consequences of my own actions?

The description of the chat includes the participants saying that if they wanted to discuss this or that, they needed to go to a more secure system of comms.
It beggars belief they said this in the chat, and then proceeded to put top secret or compartmentalized info above top secret into the chat. Especially now that this mook has been given permission to reveal any info that shouldn't have been discussed in that channel.
The only issue I see is that Goldberg was admitted to the chat. Everything else seems above board.

I don't even think they're alleging it was intentional.
But they want a firing because someone accidentally added the wrong name, and then claiming, "Well if someone in the Biden Administration accidentally added the wrong name, you'd demand impeachment!"
Would we though? I don't remember doing that.
I remember saying that Biden was incapacitated and that the people illegally exercising power in his name should be prosecuted. Don't remember calling for impeachments over Fat-Fingering a name in a chat.

Yep, that's about it from what I'm reading. Signal is approved for non-classified communication. No classified material was discussed by the parties involved.
The only fuckup was fat-fingering Goldberg into it, and the question is who. First suspect was Mike Waltz, but it apparently was a Waltz staffer.
The staffer was the one setting it up for his boss, and he was the one who apparently had "JG" in there, confusing him with the real "JG" who is Jamieson Greer, UT Trade Rep.

Rolling your own is almost certainly going to result in an inferior app with deep bugs. Signal is open source, bills itself as a secure method of communication, and is the top of the game. That means talented security researchers all over the world focus on their code to verify it for security, completeness, and correctness. It's obviously not perfect. No software is.

The Atlantic brouhaha worked so badly for the magazine that it really doesn't matter if shivving Goldberg was intended (remember that he was up to his ears in the Steele Dossier coverage) or not. Some people are calling for a "staffer" to be fired if discovered. I think the "staffer" should get a promotion. It pays to be lucky
Mike Johnson is 100% on the money. The Supremes can't ignore the power of the purse when the House assumes its constitutional mantle as the representatives of We the People. CJ Roberts has received his warning shot.
The RFK, Jr pick continues to redound to DJT's credit and acumen. Cutting off the MSM's primary revenue source is just another chapter in the Trump campaign of defanging the Swamp. First, USAID, then shutting down DEPT ED and the teachers' unions. Now it's the MSMs' turn.

Megyn told a funny yesterday. Apparently her husband and kids like to scare her. So she was gonna get 'em back. She got ahead of her family getting on plane, going down that boarding arm thing. It was one with the right angle, and little area off to the side.
So she hides in there to jump out and "Boo!" scare the family. Some other older happens to get out in front of her family, and she jumps out and scares the hell out of him
So, some guy can now say he had Megyn Kelly jump out on him like a crazy woman.

I would treat everything about this story as complete and utter bull$hit. At this point everyone except Trump, Hegseth and Walz can't be trusted. Some staffer in the pentagon either fvcked up or deliberately added goldberg to the group chat as an act of resistance. And unless he puts up what he claims he has*, this is a nothing burger.
*By his own admission he is in possession of ultra top secret classified information that he has no right to possess which in itself is a felony. If he really does have classified stuff and does not immediately turn it over he can be prosecuted using his own statements as evidence.

Woman posted to say, "Does anyone know of a good tutor to teach my 6-year-old how to read? He'snt learning disabled, but I as his Mom am just not good at teaching."
People then asked -- isn't he in school?
She replied, Yes, of corse he's in school-- in fact he's in a $24,000/year tuition private school.
Well then, people said--isn't he being taught to read in school?
To which she replied -- no, this school doesn't even begin teaching the alphabet and baic reading skill until starting at Age 7.
What kinda school is that? people asked.
Why,it's a "Montessori/Reggio Emilia/Waldorf schhol," where kidd are "allowed to learn at their own pace" and never forced to do anything they don't want to do.
A few people expressed alarm at the school's policy and highly encouraged her to get outside help to get him to read ASAP, because if you're not starting t get basic alphabet/reading/word skills starting at age 4 or 5 at the latest, it's only going to get much more difficult with every passing year.

Every Trump-related story on my RSS feeds of US and foreign legacy media outfits has a single theme. Trump is destroying everything! The first groups to be wiped-out by his destruction mania will be women, children, minorities, judges, Muslims, undocumented US residents, FedGov civil servants, and teachers! Then he'll begin destroying the oceans, the forests, the atmosphere, and the snail darter! He will simultaneously melt all glaciers, the ice in the Arctic Ocean, and the Antarctic and Greenland ice caps!
It gets doggone tiring every day, reading that after only nine weeks Trump has doomed me in a thousand ways. And that he's doing all of it because Pootin ordered him to!

People have a desire to find blood relatives. One friend of mine's father was raised as his mother's younger brother -- she was 18, had a baby, the family hushed it up and said it was mommy's baby not sissy's baby, and the ensuing kid didn't find out about it until adulthood, and he was kind of angry about it. Sissy died when he was only about a year old so he couldn't ask her, and the parents considered it a scandal and wouldn't talk about his real father.
So my friend (the son's son) was all keen on finding out who his (real) grandfather was. Over literally decades, he did old-fashioned, shoe-leather research and wrote letters and crossed the country and asked people from yeeears ago what they knew about who slept with whom. In the end, he found his grandfather -- long deceased -- via 23andMe.

And yet it's still better than rolling your own. If a legit security researcher finds an issue, they'll work with Signal to get it fixed. If there are signs Signal has an issue, people can lock down and work on understanding what happened.
If you have a custom bit of software, none of that applies. You're your own security researcher, no other good guys are looking on your behalf. You have to do all the heavy lifting of watching for signs you're compromised, and nobody else will find the issue for you.
Any software fix is likely to create new bugs, so you have to have really top notch guys maintaining the code. So you can't just spend the money one time and be safe. You've got to have a maintenance team as good as or better than the original developers.

I haven't had personal experience with being attacked but they do all seem cut from a similar cloth for sure.
I would add that in this case, while it's not torturing kids per se to teach them reading before 8 years old, a lot of homeschoolers do wait. The kids catch up just fine. And some kids really aren't ready to learn letters before 8 and the struggle does produce negative outcomes in at least some of those cases (internalizing that they are dumb etc).
It's a topic worth discussing imho. We didn't wait and all our kids read fine but its a point of flexibility I think.

If the leaksource was Walz's aide, then it would imply NSC staff. I think Trump fired all the current NSC staff requiring them to reapply but that was so long ago in Trump time, that I have forgotten the particulars.
So dunno whether a new useless peckerwood staffer that had Goldberg on speeddial or a retread peckerwood from the old regime.
We will probably find out if the leak was not sanctioned in the first place as some of them are.

People wonder why Jewish kids are so smart.
From what I've read and seen, they teach their kids to learn to read very early (religious reasons to learn Hebrew), and that's why a lot of them come out so intelligent.
Children should be taught to read, and made to keep reading, as early as possible if a parent wants them to be able to succeed in the modern economy.
Children should be regimented & scheduled.
That's called "working" and should be instilled in them as early as possible as well.
Look at kids whose mother kept them on a regular schedule as a baby compared to a mother who let the kid run wild all day and everything was chaotic and unstructured.
The difference is night and day, especially as they grow older and the effects of that upbringing becomes apparent.

Back in WW2 someone asked a submariner about Japanese depth charges. He said that they weren't a problem because they detonated pretty shallow.
Several subs which were out at sea when that was published were lost. That's why we don't talk about submarines... ever.

So feeding a kid at the same time every day and putting them to bed at the same time every day and getting them up at the same time is a bad parenting idea?
Having meals at a set time and playtime at a certain time and nap time at a certain time is a bad thing?
Because that's what kindergarten and school are all about.
So if you want a child prepared for that, you need to start early.
What exactly am I saying that is horrible for raising children?

Yes. But many people are looking at the code, not just hackers and foreign nation states. Additionally, I said "looking for signs you're compromised." If a hacker group or foreign nation state uses their zero day bug, there will most likely be telltale signs. That info will be broadcast and people will find out how it was done. Then that hole gets patched.
As I said in the beginning. No software is perfect. But you're better off using the best in class that has many eyes on it than some unknown, untested, self-developed product.

Not necessarily but basically we should not expect a Canadian politician of any party to cater to US. Pretty much all countries except the idiotic US policy under GWB, Obama, and Biden, cater to their own country's interests.
What upsets the furriners is when the US does it because we have bent US taxpayers and businesses over for a good rogering from foreigners for so long, they got used to it. Same with shitheads admitted to the US for education or for other purposes.
The US is viewed by other countries as a lottery winner is by others in that lottery winning circle. People think winning a lottery is unfair and the only way to make it fair is for the lottery winner to spend themselves into oblivion by making their circle rich.
Same phenomenon with celebrities that hit it big--suddenly people crawl out of the woodwork wanting money, cash, anything they can get.

Crazy thought - indict Goldberg for espionage. I mean, he keeps insisting he heard secret stuff - and he didn't shut it off. That means he was wiretapping.
Wiretapping. Spying. He wasn't cleared for the super top-secret information he has. Okay, indict him. I mean, shouldn't he have to PROVE he didn't coerce a fellow spy in the government to give him this access?
Then let's just see what he has to say about the conversation.
It's one of two things, either this was an oopsie accident, and it was okay for him to get accidentally added to the text string, OR he is a spy for the bad guys. Pick a lane and STFU.

Generally speaking, people test that a thing will operate as designed assuming it is given the correct inputs. No matter how much bitching you do, it's almost impossible to get people to test against stupid shit. No one would ever do that, testing costs money, go bother someone else.
Then an outsider does something stupid, deliberately or otherwise, and they're off to the races.

I agree. He has admitted multiple times that he is in possession of highly classified information that he has no right to, nor a clearance to possess.

Colin Rugg calls it a "new level of deplorable"? Yeah, I mean Trump probably wishes he had come up with it first. If he had a problem with some of DJT's nicknames for people then sure I guess, otherwise no.
And yeah, while I don't like a lot of the name calling Trump does, Gov. Hot Wheels is kinda funny. Not nearly as good as "little Rocket Man" though. And if I were Abbot I'd probably "lean into it" as the younger ones say.
