John Solomon: US Intelligence Recorded Foreign Powers Discussing Routing USAID Money to Joe Biden in 2024, But They Hid This From Trump
He also faults Trump for not talking about this.
Now, he doesn't say that foreign power is Ukraine, but in a clip I posted yesterday, he talked about the Ukraine plotting to use US taxpayer money to interfere in the election on behalf of Joe Biden. I don't know why he's omitting the "Ukraine" part now; maybe his source confirmed it, but only if he agreed to not name Ukraine.This is why Democrats were so mad about the money from USAID getting shut off

US Intelligence intercepted communication that “a foreign power was discussing routing USAID money to Joe Biden's campaign in 2024”

Correction:
All government spending is a Democrat global money laundering operation.
If we eliminated the fraud and abuse, we could cut $1 trillion from the federal budget.
Especially since at least 1/3 of federal government employees exist solely to administer that part of spending that is due to the fraud and abuse.

By the way, my 14 year old dog that somehow fell out of my bed this morning at 3am or so wasn't put to sleep. I went to Arby's to buy him meat for a potential last meal on the way to the vet.
That woke him up like Lazarus. I half-jokingly told the vet his will to live is stronger than mine. The vet gave him pain pills for 2 weeks. I'll be carrying him up and down steps and outside for washroom for about 2 weeks while he heals but he's only 40 some pounds.
I let the vet decide if it was time or not. He won't be in pain with the pills. So here we are.

Not only was taxpayer money recycled into the Biden campaign, but Democrat campaigns all over. Us government money, foreign donor money, and foreign government money. All paid to Democrats. Where are the ActBlue indictments, btw?

The problem is that a significant fraction of the populace is just fine with, or possibly entirely in favor of, the lawlessness as long as it's their team being lawless. And they WILL NOT support prosecuting it.
It is going to take decades to fix things, assuming they can be fixed at all.

JFK set it up as a State Department auxiliary in order the channel money fast overseas to fight the Cold War. And the CIA more or less and State Dept. constitute our foreign policy apparatus (which is why Nixon used Kissenger and the NSC to sidestep that establishment for Chicom and Treaty of Paris negotiations).
Prior to that, the CIA has spent a lot of money on the same sort of shit that AID took over. Like shoveling US money to opponents of communism even if they disliked or hated the US. Been reading William Colby's biography and lots of information about their hearts and minds open checkbook spending for 'soft' power. And buying journalism, scholars, etc.

But...shouldn't this give you even more pause? If "the other side" write a story about how evil your political ideas are, well, that politics.
But if the government that you like in the real world seriously resembles the one you claim to hate in fiction...shouldn't that tell you there is something very very wrong with your political alignment?

I mean, let's say your shadowy praetorian guards did some things.
Like spying on a Presidential candidate using falsified 302s to predicate a bullshit, open ended FISA warrant. Or maybe they framed the President for piss-hooker throw downs and then ran the smear through a bunch of media cutouts to create a pretext for a show trial? Or deployed corrupt military officers to do a similar thing with regard to foreign policy as a pretext for impeachment? Or maybe they exploited a leak from their illegal bioweapons program to cheat against him in the next election? Or performed a false-flag attack on the Capitol so they could prosecute him once out of office? Or used on-side SS details to set him up to be murdered? Or fenced stolen taxpayers funds to his election opponent when none of that worked?
That's all pretty bad. But the lying to him about all that - that's the shocker.

You did great work.

Posted by: EFG
A lot of reasons. Burnout, mainly.
Also, Trump's first victory gave me a nice "And my work is done" feeling, allowing me to retire with peace of mind.
But mostly it was the universal proliferation of iPhones, such that everyone on Earth suddenly became a "citizen journalist," so there was no need for me any more. Whatever happened in the world, there was now always an iPhone (or 500 iPhones) nearby to record it.

Have you seen Nick Shirley's latest? About fraud in California? The details are mind-boggling, but the visuals omg. You know who the offenders are, how they sound, and here I am filling out job applications (laid off from the last one because of budget cuts) like a damn FOOL. These people have a mind-set that makes you want to get violent. Come to America and IMMEDIATELY reach for a scam instead of an occupation!
Who gets money from the government, for what? How much will they pay you? What do you have to fill out? Who do you have to go see? How much do you have to spend to set it up? Can you get that money from somewhere else, too? How long does it take to start getting paid? How much money can you get in the first year?
Then the reactions when someone calls them on it. HEY! Get out of here! What's WRONG with you??? GET LOST, you vandal!

John Solomon needs to re-read, "Art of the Deal." Most of the content deals with the importance of leverage. How to acquire it; how to use it; how to generate it etc.
Keep in mind that the negotiations between Russia and Ukraine continue to be on the periphery. He, already, has leverage on the Russians (dealing with the security and energy agreement signed with them before we took their president and nulified that deal). Russia is/was invested heavily in the heavy crude in Venezuela, on long term lease agreements.
Ukraine, on the other hand, now has leverage against them related to these "revelations"...even though we all suspected as much.
It's all about leverage.

Bondi is a politician first, Attorney General second. Accept that and everything she does begins to make a little more sense. A little.
Personally, I think she's timid. Afraid to do "the hard stuff" like threatening judges, juries and all the other stuff Garland did. Not saying it's right.... or wrong, but it is "the new normal."
Start by threatening some judges with violence. Then, do the violence if they persist. Otherwise, "nothing will happen." And when the left regains the levers of power they'll go ape shit on us.

Garland would never be punished for threatening juries. He'd never be "called out" for threatening judges. And bitching at the judges was just to give them cover to do what they wanted to do but knew they shouldn't.

1.) Since the Reformation, wars are only very rarely directly profitable for nations; only lenders and manufacturers, because a shit ton of money is going into that bloodsoaked toilet. They're fought for longer term and different goals than a quarterly report.
2.) Entitlements dwarf our military expenditures - another serious problem for large, wealthy militant empires throughout history.
IOW, these things are expensive, and we need money to do them, but they could produce some gain. Your welfare thing never will, and if we make this budgeting contingent on wasting ten times more money on bullshit than we need for a military goal, maybe your thing should go.

- MAHA supporters: Health-freedom and anti-establishment advocates who rallied around Make America Healthy Again are abandoning Trump, viewing the neoconservative pivot and war focus as a complete betrayal.
- Youth voters: Young men who swung to Trump in 2024 are bailing fast, with support dipping below 50% as they prioritize deportations and economic relief over endless foreign entanglements.
- Centrists and independents: Moderate swing voters are fleeing the GOP, sickened by the neocons' return and the war's fallout. Only one in four Americans back Trump's war.
You won! Your neocon masters managed to exploit Trump's major weakness: his ego. The resulting chaos and civil strife that their victory will yield after the Repubs are tossed from office is on YOUR heads.

Heh, old usage, I thought I remember it in Pogo comic strip but far older than that.
"Bunkum is a word meaning insincere, foolish, or empty talk; nonsense. It originated in the early 19th century from a speech given by Felix Walker, a U.S. congressman from Buncombe County, North Carolina, in 1820. During a debate on the Missouri Compromise, Walker delivered a long, irrelevant speech and defended it by saying he was speaking "to Buncombe"—referring to his constituents—rather than to Congress. His colleagues mocked the speech, and the phrase "speaking to Buncombe" quickly became a term for meaningless political rhetoric. "

There are many shapes of mammaries. Her shape is how I recall bras being made to fit some time ago. There were also bras with partial cups that provided enough lift to achieve her look but didn't completely contain exuberant boobs.
Nowadays the preferred look is plump rather than pointy.

None of those sorry cucks would have so much as a committee assignment without Trump.
They'd fuck off the midterms with or without him. They're professional losers of the first water, and if he's not on the ticket, dragging them across the finish line, they'll wander off the track and start grazing in neighborhood gardens during the first lap - every single time.
Blaming Trump or his voters for their decades-long litany of gay failure is an approach - but it won't fix the failure of your Party. You might could go holler at them.
