Hi Hamburglar

What a fascinating Republican strategy to lose the 2026 midterm elections.

Midterm elections have historically had much lower turnouts than presidential election years.

"2018 Midterm Election: Turnout was approximately 50%, the highest in over a century for midterms but still significantly lower than a presidential year.

2014 Midterms: Turnout was only about 36.7%, one of the lowest in recent history."

Disgruntled Republicans won't vote for a Democrat out of hatred, so they may stay home on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026.

Disgruntled Democrats won't vote for a Republican out of common sense, so they may stay home on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026 too.

Who loses more disgruntled voters on 3 Nov 2026 will decide the winner and right now ICE is not helping the Republicans.

The annual meeting between the Pope and all of the Ambassadors accredited to the Holy See is considered one of the most significant moments in the Vatican's diplomatic calendar.

Often dubbed the "State of the World" Address, the Pope's discourses in these occasions tend to offer a moral reading of international life - an appeal not to interests, but to conscience - offered at the beginning of a new year as a call to responsibility, restraint, and renewal.

For Pope Leo XIV, who said the occasion is "a new experience," having been called only months ago to "shepherd Christ's flock," the address also served to articulate the moral horizon within which the Holy See understands diplomacy: a patient work of encounter, a defense of the vulnerable, and a commitment to peace rooted in truth.

The US Ambassador to the Holy See is Brian Burch, president of CatholicVote.org. While at the University of Dallas in Texas, he was involved with the secretive right-wing Opus Dei organization. Burch, a father of nine children, married into a large Irish-Catholic clan and they all reportedly indoctrinate their children in Opus Dei-run schools.

Poll: ICE job approval = 39% approve, 52% disapprove.

That news made my morning coffee and cigarette taste better, thank you BBQ.

Perhaps the volatile Jonathan Ross should accompany his mail order bride back to the Philippines because in the US he will be forever hounded by cyber-volunteers and hopefully become commercially blacklisted from hotels, airplanes, casinos, car rental agencies, cruise ships, sporting events, and Disneyland and Disneyworld.

Jonathan Ross is as popular in the US as John Wilkes Booth was on 15 April 1865.

*** US Conducts More High Seas Piracy, Seizing Another Venezuelan-Linked Oil Tanker ***

USSOUTHCOM informs: "There is no safe haven for criminals. Marines and sailors launched from the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier for the pre-dawn operation to support the Department of Homeland Security as part of "its mission to defend our homeland by ending illicit activity and restoring security in the Western Hemisphere."

The Olina is the fifth oil tanker linked to Venezuela unlawfully seized by US military forces obeying warmonger Dummkopf Trumpf.

*** Mafioso Dummkopf Trumpf on Greenland: "If we do not do it the easy way, we will do it the hard way." ***

"By the way, I am a fan of Denmark. The fact they had a boat land there 500 years ago does not mean they own the land. We will be doing something with Greenland "- the nice way, or the more difficult way."

Good to have you back, Clownshack.

In America, we are now also the Bantus of apartheid-era "Law and Order" Suid-Afrika.

Before President Nelson Mandela successfully took charge of the country, rugby was mandatory for all white students attending school. More important though, all white males either had to serve two years in the military (the SADF) or four years in the South African Police Service (SAPS).

Last century in Johannesburg I was related this incident by some Afrikaaners.

The SAPS responded to an elderly Afrikaaner's phone call about a (black) trespasser on his property.

When the two SAPs arrived, they found a dead Bantu on the curtilage outside the man's house.

SAP 1: "Sir, did you fire off a warning shot?"

Confident elderly Boer: "No, I saw him there through the open window so I shot him once with my (double-barrel) shotgun."

SAP 2: "This is bad. Very bad. By law, you are not allowed to shoot someone just for being outside your home. And you didn't give him a warning shot either."

Now nervous elderly Boer: "Oh no! What am I going to do?"

SAP 1: "Sir, my partner and I will patrol the area to see if there are any other kaffirs lurking about and return directly."

The two SAPs drove around aimlessly when they heard the roar of a shotgun coming from the old man's house.

When they returned to the house a few minutes later, they saw a trail of blood leading through the man's open front door into the house, a double-barreled shotgun now housing two empty casings with wisps of smoke emanating from it, and a completely out of breath old man.

When the two SAPs drove away alone with their paperwork complete: "I'm just glad the ou man (altacocka) didn't suffer a blooming heart attack back there while we were driving around or we'd have had even more paperwork to do."

ExxonMobil CEO Darren Woods advised that "significant changes have to be made to those commercial frameworks, the legal system; there has to be durable investment protections," and there needs to be a rewrite of the laws governing oil production in Venezuela.

The oil industry oligarch warned that he would only commit to sending a technical team to Venezuela in the near future to begin assessing the situation there.

"A letter from USDA Brooke Robbins addressed to Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey cited the Feeding Our Future fraud scheme, in which dozens of people have been convicted of stealing millions of dollars from a federal program meant to feed children in need during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"The widespread and systemic fraud associated with federal benefit programs in the State of Minnesota and the City of Minneapolis demonstrate an inability to handle federal resources without additional oversight and accountability measures in place," Rollins wrote in the letter.

The diktat states that the USDA will suspend all active and future awards to the state of Minnesota and city of Minneapolis, totaling more than $129 million. The letter also requires the state and city to "provide the USA with payment justifications for all federal dollar expenditures from 20 January 2025 to the present" and require similar payment justifications in the future."

Article 25, then sentencing for his 34 felonies. Dies in prison.
Best outcome.
