Hi Doc Sarvis:

I finished reading Virginia Roberts Giuffre's book Nobody's Girl; hope you can borrow it from your library.

That book should have taken me two to three days to read, but I had to put it down after every chapter, so it took me almost ten days.

That poor girl never had a chance in life.

BTW: Republican Mike Huckabee may not be alone in his Bronze Age campfire sentiments about Israeli expansion.

*** Double-Dealing Oligarch Steve Witkoff Tells Faux News Iran Close to Making Nuclear Bomb ***

Good-for-nothing oligarch Steve Witkoff, a man with zero diplomatic training or experience, and who cozies up to two ICC-indicted war criminals (Benjamin Netanyahu and Vladimir Putin), bleats to viewers on Faux News that Iran is "one week away from producing a nuclear bomb."

Somehow Steve Witkoff now has magical information on Iran's nuclear program.

Worse, he admitted that Dummkopf Trumpf's illegal act of war against Iran in June 2025 failed to cripple their nuclear-bomb making capabilities.

Dummkopf Trumpf and USSECDEF Pete Hegseth both hailed those strikes as successful in destroying Iran's bomb-making capabilities.

*** Iran Purchased Advanced MANPAD Systems from Russia ***

"Iran agreed to a secret 500 millionn Euro arms deal with Russia to acquire thousands of advanced shoulder-fired missiles in its most significant effort to rebuild air defenses shattered during last year's war with Israel. The agreement, signed in Moscow in December, commits Russia to deliver 500 man-portable "Verba" launch units and 2,500 "9M336" missiles over three years.

Under the Verba contract, the deliveries are scheduled in three tranches, running from 2027 through 2029. One person familiar with the transaction said it was possible a smaller number of the systems could have been already delivered to Iran."

America's sanctions and isolation against Iran have driven them deep and tight with the Kremlin and both Tehran and Moscow need each other against their enemies: Ukraine and Israel.

Any US attack against Iran now or in the future must take into account these advanced Russian MANPAD systems. US jet fighters are expensive and the lives of our Servicemembers are even dearer. Casualties and destroyed fighter craft will quickly make war with Iran unpopular.

The American people are sick and tired of war and a system that spends trillions of dollars on the miliary-industrial complex making oligarchs wealthy, but spending ZERO federal dollars on universal healthcare, as enjoyed by the residents of Germany, Israel, Canada, Greenland, Denmark, Taiwan, Albania, or the UK.

"The Democratic National Committee's research on what went wrong in 2024 has been under lock and key since party leaders decided last year to hide it from the public, a reflection of how explosively it could resonate within the party and beyond.

During her brief 107-day campaign Kamala Harris sought to strike a balance, showing strong support for Israel while calling for a ceasefire and expressing sympathy for Palestinians under attack in Gaza as well as the hostages being held by resistance fighters.

Harris wrote her in book that President Biden's unpopularity, which she argued was partly because of "his perceived blank check" to ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu, harmed her in 2024. Harris wrote that she privately "pleaded" with Biden, who was getting called "Genocide Joe" by Dummkopf Trumpf and others, to show more empathy for civilians in Gaza. But during her campaign, the VPOTUS declined to publicly break with him over Israel."

Hatemonger Bruce Blakeman was among the first local leaders in the country to join Dummkopf Trumpf's mass deportation effort by partnering with ICE.

Blakeman rented 50 local jail cells in East Meadow to ICE at a nightly rate of $195 per detainee and designated ten Nassau County PD detectives to work as immigration officers. Nine new counties across New York State and more than 1,000 agencies nationally have joined the program, known as 287(g), since Dummkopf Trumpf seized power on 20 Jan 2025.

"This inhuman program is exclusively designed to remove criminals from our communities," Blakeman brayed on 4 Feb 2025. "I want to stress that this program is about illegal migrants who have committed crimes. This isn't about raids. This is targeted enforcement."

This MAGA lunatic's litany of blasphemies is lengthy and repulsive:

Libertarian: The way to vote, think, behave, and lie like a Republican, without being labeled or hated as a Republican.

Plausible (or implausible) deniability, to wit:

Libertarian: "Argh! I'm not a Republican, I'm a Libertarian! Blargh! See?"

Interviewer: "Have you ever voted for a Democrat?"

Libertarian: "Gargh! I told you already! I'm a Libertarian! Blargh! Why would I ever vote for a Democrat? Pflargh!"

**** Jalisco New Generation Cartel Leader Rendered Ineffective by Mexican Security Forces ****

"The Mexican army neutralized the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, Nemesio Rubn Oseguera Cervantes, "El Mencho," on Sunday, decapitating what had become Mexico's most powerful drug cartel and thrusting swaths of the nation into chaos.

The drug lord was the Mexican government's biggest prize yet to show the Epstein administration in its efforts to crack down on the cartels, and his death was met with a forceful reaction from the cartel, known by its Spanish initials CJNG.

Cars burned out by cartel members blocked roads in nearly a dozen Mexican states and left smoke billowing into the air. Jalisco's capital, Guadalajara, was turned into a ghost town Sunday night as civilians hunkered down. School was canceled Monday in several states."

The family is most likely well-armed since they live in North Carolina.

The deceased took a shotgun with him, but I'm sure there are other firearms in their home.

Let these MAGAts shoot it out amongst themselves and leave us innocents alone.
