Weapons Recovered


Comments

The CDC funds would have gone toward state and local health grants that the sinister Dummkopf Trumpf junta feels are too "woke."
A junta apparatchik at OMB bleated that the rescissions are punishing "states fraught with waste and mismanagement."

These rescinded funds include:

~$3 million to Colorado to address COVID-19 disparities among racial and ethnic minority groups
~$5.2 million to Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago for increasing HIV PrEP use among Black cisgender women
~$500,000 to the University of California for evaluating state-level laws to prevent sexual and intimate partner violence among gender and sexual minorities.

JAMA reports funding cuts to the CDC will lead to sicker Americans and a rise in deaths, particularly in areas like HIV prevention and sexually transmitted infections. These cuts will affect Republicans living in those Red States, something Dummkopf Trumpf obviously didn't consider, like truck drivers and police officers using the roads and highways. Moreover, the geriatric pedophilic draft-dodging oligarch did not consider that diseases and viruses do not discriminate between Republican or Democratic victims.

Later this month, Dummkopf Trumpf will be hosting the annual meeting of the National Governor's Association, but he is disinviting Democratic governors. Technically, that would not constitute the annual meeting of the NGA as this is a bipartisan organization.

In a country like the US without universal healthcare for all its residents like found in Israel, Canada, Germany, Taiwan, or the UK, these draconian cuts by the diabolical Trumpf junta will be costly and fatal for many, many Americans from both political parties.


*** Howard Lutnick and Jeffrey Epstein Were in Business Together ***

"Good-for-nothing oligarch US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick lied when he said he had "limited interactions" with Jeffrey Epstein, but documents show they were in business together as recently as 2014.

Lutnick and Epstein each signed on behalf of limited liability companies that agreed on 28 Dec 2012 to acquire stakes in a now-shuttered advertising technology company called Adfin, documents released among the so-called Epstein files show.

Epstein and Lutnick's signatures appear on neighboring pages in the contract, with Epstein signing for his Southern Trust Company, Inc. and Lutnick for a limited liability company called CVAFH I. The documents list nine shareholders in total."

Years ago some of my friends attended a synagogue on the Upper East Side, there are some large ones in that neighborhood, and now I'm wondering if Jeffrey Epstein made a lot of his connections through these congregants.

Virginia Giuffre doesn't mention any of the religions of the men who abused her, but the released files show that the vast majority (not all) of Epstein's clients were wealthy Jews.

Similarly, years ago arch goniff Bernie Madoff primarily victimized wealthy Jews in Manhattan and the "Gold Coast" (Great Neck, LI). I was acquainted with the AUSA who prosecuted him. And a PI friend of mine was asked by one of Bernie Madoff's sons to bodyguard him while he was on bond. My PI friend turned down that lucrative job, but was immediately hired by a Madoff victim to somehow find and recover her money.

Like Jeffrey Epstein, Bernie Madoff also lived on the Upper East Side, but I don't know which synagogue he frequented

On 6 June 2025, Jashanpreet Singh attempted to sell several weapons to an undercover officer, including a short-barreled rifle, three assault weapons, three machine gun conversion devices, and a revolver. A search of Singh's residence resulted in the discovery of additional firearms, including a machine gun, another machine gun conversion device, silencer, hand grenade and a Claymore antipersonnel mine.

Singh initially faced state charges in San Joaquin County related to these offenses. On 21 July 2025, he failed to appear in court, and the state court issued a bench warrant for his arrest. On 23 July 2025, the FBI received an alert from US CBP that Singh had booked a ticket to India and was scheduled to depart from the San Francisco International Airport on 26 July2025. On that date, officers located and arrested Singh at the airport before he could flee.

Singh is scheduled to be sentenced on 11 May 2026 by the Honorable USDJ Dale A. Drozd. For his conviction for unlawfully dealing in firearms, Singh faces a maximum statutory penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. For his conviction for unlawfully possessing a machine gun, he faces a maximum penalty of ten years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Some Sikhs have desired an independent homeland named Khalistan after Hindu-majority India and Muslim-majority Pakistan became independent in 1947. In 1984, a Sikh separatist group blew up Air India 182, the worst terrorist attack in Canada. Iranian intelligence agencies have been reported to have hired the Hells Angels OMG for external operations, such as drug smuggling or contract assassinations against dissidents hiding in the West.

These Sikh bikers from the Punjabi Devils must wear special motorcycle helmets to accommodate their long uncut hair or turbans
