Trump is bringing the first group of white South Africans it has classified as refugees to the US early next week. Trump halted virtually all other refugee admissions shortly after he took office in January, but the junta hastily put together a program to admit Afrikaners, who he claims have been the victims of racial persecution in their home country. The junta plans to send government officials to Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia for a gala event celebrating the arrival of white people to America. read more
With three weeks before hurricane season begins, Trump fired the acting head of FEMA, Cameron Hamilton. His sin was contradicting Trump when he said: "I do not believe it is in the best interest of the American people to eliminate FEMA." Hamilton was deployed four times overseas as a USN SEAL before he worked for the State Department and DHS. Trump's budget proposes a $644 million cut to FEMA. Trump was sharply critical of FEMA's response to Hurricane Helene, a devastating storm that killed 250 people and inflicted $78.7 billion in damage from Florida to North Carolina.

1) Russian forces continued attacking Ukraine, despite Vladimir Putin's Victory Day ceasefire proclamation, including dropping nearly one hundred guided aerial bombs on Sumy Oblast. 2) A Hungarian military spy ring was exposed by Ukrainian counterintelligence agents. The agents were searching for vulnerabilities in ground and air defenses, as well as the local attitudes should Hungarian troops enter the region. 3) Ukrainian prosecutors identified four Russians who tortured POWs with clubs and electric shocks: pravda.com.ua 4) The Estonian city of Narva placed a large banner on the border with Russia equating Vladimir Putin with Adolf Hitler: pravda.com.ua An international arrest warrant issued by the ICC for war crimes remains active for Russian President Vladimir Putin, as well as Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, despite Dotard Trumpf's bullying of the ICC on behalf of them. read more
"Mohammed Aburidi (24, Palestinian) and Tareq Aburidi (19, Palestinian) with possessing firearms and ammunition as aliens admitted to the US on nonimmigrant visas. If convicted, each faces a maximum penalty of 15 years in federal prison. An indictment is merely a formal charge that a defendant has committed one or more violations of federal criminal law, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless, and until, proven guilty." Note that the press release reads "Palestinian Nationals..." and not "Two Florida Men..." Imagine if Justice Department statements read "Two Black Men...." There is no reason for this brazen language in the document other than to imply that the two defendants have an inherent mens rea simply for being Palestinian. read more
Last week DEA agents seized 2.7 million fentanyl pills in Albuquerque, NM. The seizure was part of an ongoing, monthslong investigation, in which G-Men arrested 16 individuals, seized drugs, $5 million in cash, 49 rifles and pistols, and luxury vehicles across multiple states, while also dismantling one of the largest and most dangerous drug trafficking organizations in the US. read more
#45: And Americans in general suffer shorter lives and have worse medical outcomes than their counterparts in other Western countries. One analyst reported an average of four years less than Australians or Europeans: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
I guess Republicans will blame Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, LBJ, JFK, HST, or FDR.
The apartheid government railed for years against Russians and communists. Proxy wars were fought between Moscow-backed groups and Pretoria-backed armies for years in Angola, Rhodesia, etc. Now the "savior" of these dead-ender Afrikaners is a Russian asset. And does anyone on the planet think that the Afrikaners will consider this man blanke if they ever meet him? static01.nyt.com
And ICE detained the son of a Vietnam War veteran: www.msn.com
Republicans have dreamt about having this kind of police state for decades. I'm glad their wishes came true. Is there any pushback from Libertarians who for years have argued against big government?
#4: I found an archived citation about the Italian secret service bribing the Taliban to not attack their forces in Afghanistan: web.archive.org
I wonder what USN Rear Admiral Charles Kubic (Ret.) has to say about cutting this benefit to veterans? fairfaxgop.org
This female pettifogger, who will be 74 in a few weeks, made some nice money for herself over the years as a mouth for hire:

Hi Laura. This petty man is a TV junkie. Trumpf got off his aspartame addiction a few years, so now his demons are junk food, cheating at golf, and watching TV several hours a day. When he was younger, he had another well-known addiction: cdn.cnn.com
The Dotard cheated on his wife and cheats at golf, manipulates stock prices and cryptocurrency, is a hopeless TV addict. And based on TV, this buffoon holds decades-long grudges, makes idiotic decisions like re-opening Alcatraz Prison, or selects sycophants like Jeanine Pirro for his pathetic junta: www.mic.com
#20: Hi Redial: I have driven through this area and street lighting is insufficient to read signs at night. Here's a video of the poor delivery guy before he was almost murdered: twitter.com
John J. Reilly III's home and property look pretty opulent in other video. The schmuck threw away a well-paying job and what appears to be an illicit gun business. See comment #15 above.
The White House had stopped posting the public spending database, so Americans won't know how much "selective socialism" will take place in re-settling the Afrikaners. With their racism, gun culture, and warm weather background, the Red States seem appropriate for them-- especially with hurricane and flood season approaching.
