Unscrupulous

The Supreme Court (click here) revived a controversial voter-citizenship database less than two months ahead of the midterm elections. In the ruling, the court sided with the Trump administration, which is seeking to use the Department of Homeland Security’s SAVE database to review state voter rolls for potential noncitizens....

I think it should and can be dismantled. It interferes with the Social Security Administration and the delicate personal information of the entire population of the USA, including children.
What is the SAVE Database?
  • Original Purpose: SAVE (Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements) is a 40-year-old federal data system run by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, originally built to check immigration status for public benefits.
  • Recent Changes: The Department of Homeland Security overhauled the system to link it with Social Security Administration records and allow bulk queries. States were encouraged to upload entire voter rolls to check for citizenship and deceased individuals. [1]
  • Legal Battles: A lower federal court blocked the modified program in June, ruling that bulk data sharing violated privacy and administrative laws.
  • Supreme Court Action: The Supreme Court stayed that block, allowing the administration to resume using the database to review voter rolls ahead of elections. Critics and voting rights advocates raise concerns over privacy risks and potential errors that could mistakenly flag eligible citizens.

It is called racketeering.

Hitler, Raubal and Raubal’s mother (far right) on a trip to the North Sea in 1930 

...In 1931, (click here) Hitler’s half-niece Geli Raubal, then 23 years old, was found dead in his Munich apartment, where she lived, from a gunshot wound to her lungs. According to official accounts, Hitler’s servant discovered her body sometime on September 19. Hitler was a leading suspect, not least because his own Walther pistol was the murder weapon, but he had a strong alibi: The ascendant far-right extremist was away that day in Nuremberg. For decades, the police report’s classification of Raubal’s death as a suicide—though questioned even at the time—has stood unchallenged in the absence of any other plausible explanation.

Now, recent research, first reported by the German outlet Der Spiegel, appears to shed new light on the case. Harald Sandner, a German historian, tells the Telegraph’s Jörg Luyken that he has found a “crushing mass” of evidentiary details that “completely contradict the official, 95-year-old narrative put forward by the Bavarian judiciary” and the Nazi Party.

In Munich’s archives, Sandner found two death notices and an official entry in the local death register that change the timeline of Rabaul’s death. They show that her body was recovered by police on the morning of September 18, when Hitler was known to still be in Munich.

The discrepancies may have been deliberate. In the days following Raubal’s death, a Munich newspaper reported that Nazi officials had met to strategize how to share the news publicly, according to the Telegraph. Hitler was gaining momentum as a political force with the party, and bad press threatened to derail his rise. Adding to their concerns were allegations that he and his half-niece had been arguing intensely in the days before her death, and that her corpse exhibited other injuries, such as a shattered nose.

Sandner believes that the outcome of these meetings was to provide an alibi for Hitler by fudging dates and times in the public record. If true, the plan succeeded.

“For generations, people simply copied this version off each other,” Sandner tells the London Times’ Oliver Moody. “My research exposes this document as a historical work of deception and shows precisely 62 mistakes, lies and deliberate manipulations by [officials] in the justice system and functionaries who were close to the Nazi Party, to formally conclude the case in Hitler’s favor.”

Hitler’s relationship with his half-niece has long been the subject of speculation. She moved to Munich in 1927, and into his apartment in 1929. That Hitler wielded obsessive control over Raubal is well documented, and something that even family members have spoken about directly.

“When I visited Berlin in 1931, the family was in trouble,” William Stuart-Houston, Hitler’s nephew, wrote in a 1939 article quoted in the Guardian in 2017. “Everyone knew that Hitler and she had long been intimate and that she had been expecting a child—a fact that enraged Hitler.”...

So, let me get this right.

Representative Massie is expressing a sane human understanding of what will occur with Trump in stating, "...his comeuppance will happen on Election Day...". The problem is Trump has no conscience. So, when Massie believes there will a rude awakening on Election Day he is expressing feelings he himself did feel when he lost the GOP primary. Trump will never experience those feelings, hence, will never change (as exhibited by his life in general) when any reality of his lack of power and influence is exhibited anywhere. Thank you, Representative Massie for believing there is hope for Trump in your statements, but, with all due respect those statements only demonstrate the GOP does not know Trump.

Ruthless.

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie (Ky.), (click here) who lost his primary to an opponent backed by President Trump, predicted a reckoning for the president and the GOP in the midterm elections.

“I think his comeuppance will happen on Election Day, and the day after I think there’s going to be a reckoning,” the Republican lawmaker said during an interview Thursday with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on “The Source.”...


Representative Massie put articles of impeachment on the floor of the House to remove Hegseth from causing more damage in the world. I believe it was an honest attempt by an exiting Congressman. 

But,

Then loyalist Johnson prevented a vote from occurring which definitely would have passed by dismissing the House a day early. The Republicans will go home and attempt to maintain their majority. If they do, this impeachment will never occur in the following term of the USA House.

If that isn't bad enough, Trump has refused the Ceasefire (not peace treaty) with Iran. That means this administration intends to continue to kill after returning to the next term of Congress. Trump has stated the bombing will cease for now by his own choice but will begin again after the midterm elections. That means the day after the votes aree registered Trump begins his angry demands for recounts and them begins killing again. That means the USA military is still in the hands of an incompetent. That means there will be more USA causalities both from attacks on bases in the Middle East and accidents that continue to plague the chronic state of emergency the military finds itself in for no damn reason.

The terms of the ceasefire by Iran are more reasonable than anyone would ever expect. Iran was willing to open the Strait of Hormuz during the ceasefire. Trump stated it was unreasonable. Trump wants to continue to starve the Iranian people in hopes they will rebel and kill off their leadership. That won't happen. People are leaving Iran to return to Afghanistan with wives and girls in tow. Additionally, Iranians have faced starvation before under the Shah. Suffering is not new to that nation of people. They also believe in their faith. They will not submit to starvation or misery. At this point they are so aggrieved for no good reason and knowing Netanyahu is on a rampage they will never submit to colonialism.

I believe Oman is working hard with Iran to bring about a ceasefire and ultimately a peace treaty, but, Trump doesn't regard any of Oman's actions as desirable. 

Trump and Netanyahu want their holy war and the actions of Johnson in preventing an impeachment vote only means there will be a continuation of the same tactics after the elections that occurred before. 

The Shi'ite Crescent is attacking the Sunni countries as is Iran. One has to wonder what occurs when the Sunni Muslims figure out the best route for them is to join Iran and stand against Israel and the USA?

That won't happen? 

Because of a golf contest?

Really?

Stopping drug boats is the job of the USA Coast Guard, not the USA military.

The Coast Guard has been doing this since there were boats to chase and drugs to apprehend. The point is those opposing Trump need to take on this issue. It isn't as though anyone in the country wants to have street drugs effecting innocent lives, but, there are bigger problems domestically without proper address by the federal government.

Methamphetamines and Hash Hish are domestic issues. I would think addressing the illegal manufacture of Hash Hish (AKA Hash) would be a concern of the newly minted legal Marijuana industry. Those WITH READABLE AND TRASNPARENT POLICIES AND PROGRAMS may even get financial backing for their elections.

Narcan is vital to saving lives, however, there is nothing like preventing the danger in the first place. The video at the click below is from 2024.

Washington (AP) - The U.S. military (click here) attacked a boat suspected of being used to smuggle drugs in the Caribbean Sea on Saturday, killing four people, as the Trump administration continues its monthslong campaign against alleged traffickers in Latin America.

The latest attack brings the number of people who have been killed in boat strikes by the U.S. military to at least 231 in 69 strikes since the Trump administration began targeting those it calls “narcoterrorists” almost a year ago. As with most of the military’s statements on strikes in the eastern Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea, U.S. Southern Command said it targeted the alleged drug traffickers along known smuggling routes.

The military did not provide evidence that the vessel was ferrying drugs. A video posted on X showed an image of what appeared to be a moving boat followed by a flash....

They haven't given it a name?

The Governors involved should feel free to name the storm. It is easier in the long run for people to remember such trauma with a name and relay it to efforts to rebuild later. 

Not terribly long ago Superstorm Sandy came to visit resulting in very similar damage. The then President Obama would ride in a helicopter with the former Governor Chris Christi touring the aftermath. Trump simply doesn't want photos with Democratic Governors and that is why it is easier to ignore it and let others deal with the damage. FEMA should already be engaged. The Coast Guard needs to be saving lives when the wind allows it and the seas won't over turn their boats.

Rare storm: (click here) A strong, early season nor’easter has arrived in the Northeast and is delivering a prolonged stretch of strong wind, soaking rain and coastal flooding to the region through the weekend.

Power outages incoming: Wind picked up across the region late yesterday and will peak through Saturday night. Gusts could top out at 50 mph for the New York City metro area and 60 mph near Boston — strong enough to topple trees and knock down power lines.

Battered shorelines: Tides are rising around Saturday’s full moon, worsening coastal flooding. Areas close to the water in New Jersey and the New York City area could see up to 3 feet of inundation. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani issued a travel advisory due to flooding concerns....
