The Buffoon is equivocal and ambiguous about his power grab and the UN. www.reuters.com

A Buffoon sycophant law professor is quite clear: The Times of Israel published the text of the Charter of the Board of Peace. As I suspected, this is a clear effort to supplant the United Nations. reason.com

If Congress doesn't act, they are complicit in the transgressions and crimes of the Trumpf junta.

Is the status quo so good for Congressmen and Senators of both parties to not act?

And the insidious Trumpf junta is subpoenaing Minnesota Democrats: drudge.com

America is completely upside-down.

Thanks Republican voters!

Video: IDF Gleefully Destroys UNRWA Facility

UNRWA supports approximately six million Palestinian refugees across Gaza, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. Specifically, in Gaza, UNRWA provides healthcare services to over 1.2m registered Palestine refugees through 22 health centers, making it the largest provider of primary healthcare in the area.

In terms of medical care, UNRWA conducts over 10,000 medical consultations daily in Gaza alone. UNRWA provides emergency food and cash assistance to around 2.6m Palestine refugees.

Overall, UNRWA's mandate is to provide education, healthcare, and social services to about six million Palestinian refugees, with tens of thousands of local staff delivering these essential services.

Israel's brutal ethnic cleansing pogrom against the Palestinians continues. US polls reflect less and less American public support for Israel, which has killed nearly 71,551 Palestinians and wounded or maimed another 171,372 since 7 Oct 2023, the majority of them women and children. This brazen assault on UNRWA will add to the Palestinian death toll.

An international arrest warrant issued by the ICC for crimes against humanity remains active for the diabolical Benjamin Netanyahu. In addition, the Istanbul Public Prosecutor in Turkiye issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and 32 other Israelis accused of committing war crimes. An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law or at an international tribunal at the Hague.

The hardworking American taxpayer continues sending Israel billions of dollars a year. Wealthy, nuclear-armed Israel has a top ten universal healthcare system for all its residents, a social security system ranked at "B+" compared to America which is ranked at "C+", and Israeli GNI is $52,940. This is almost exactly on par with Germany (Europe's largest economy) whose GNI is $54,960.

Peace Samaritans and the antiwar bloc in America will not vote for any candidate in the 3 Nov 2026 midterm or 7 Nov 2028 presidential election that supports cruelty, oppression, injustice, or ethnic cleansing like witnessed here.

And for the Palestinian people, it doesn't matter one iota whether a Republican or Democratic POTUS sits in the White House.

Senator demands to know status of 'duplicate' Social Security database 'immediately' (September 2025)
www.theregister.com

... A US Senator is demanding answers after a Social Security Administration (SSA) employee who blew the whistle on DOGE dealings involuntarily resigned last month, citing workplace hostility in response to his concerns.

Republican Senator Mike Crapo (it's pronounced Cray-poe), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, sent a letter to the SSA's commissioner, Frank Bisignano, giving him just two weeks to provide answers to concerns raised last month by now-former SSA Chief Data Officer Charles Borges.

The former CDO's whistleblower complaint alleged that the presidentially approved cost-cutting unit had duplicated a critical database filled with taxpayer information, known as Numident, to a test cloud environment that wasn't managed by Borges or SSA, and which allegedly is without any oversight controls.

Numident is used to store records of every person who has ever applied for a Social Security Card in the United States.

Crapo's questions are numerous, but one with a much shorter deadline stands out: He wants to know whether that duplicate database "was accessed, leaked, hacked, or disseminated in any unauthorized fashion," and he wants it "immediately upon receipt of this letter."

"As Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, I must take very seriously every allegation made by a protected whistleblower," Crapo added. "Further, given the large amount of sensitive data under SSA's control, I consider the protection and security of PII held by the agency to be a matter of first importance." ...


OK, now, let's also talk about the government data that DOGE may have transferred to Mr Musk's server in order to,among other things, train GROK ...

The government already knows a lot about you. DOGE is trying to access all of it (March 2025)
www.npr.org

... Elon Musk's team within the Trump administration has sought sweeping access to databases that store personal information on millions and millions of Americans.
The General Services Administration, which manages federal real estate, is identifying property to divest, and the agency has abruptly fired more than 1,000 workers and is targeting an overall 63% reduction in headcount at its Public Building Service division.

DOGE's effort to slash government is now coming for buildings and people who run them

The data collected and maintained by the government isn't just your name, home address, and Social Security number.

Some federal agencies store information that many people don't share even with their closest friends and family: Medical diagnoses and treatment. Notes from therapy sessions. Whether a person has filed for bankruptcy. Detailed income information.

And now, Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, has accessed heavily safeguarded databases that store such personal information, raising deep alarm among federal workers and privacy advocates. ...
