The insidious Trumpf junta is closing NASA's largest research library on Friday, a facility that houses tens of thousands of books, documents and journals, many of them not digitized or available anywhere else.

Jacob Richmond, a NASA spokesman, said the agency would review the library holdings over the next 60 days and some material would be stored in a government warehouse while the rest would be tossed away.

"This process is an established method that is used by federal agencies to properly dispose of federally owned property," Mr. Richmond said.

The shutdown of the library at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD, is part of a larger reorganization under the Trumpf junta that includes the closure of 13 buildings and more than 100 science and engineering laboratories on the 1,270-acre campus by March 2026.

"Argh! Joe Biden's too old to be Preznit! Blargh!"

Dummkopf Trumpf is withdrawing the ARNG from the Windy City because "Little Napoleon" and his Sturmabteilung will be there.

The junta may need ARNG units to support future military operations in Latin America or elsewhere.

It's too bad that the next Dem Potus will have to fire all those MAGAts and collapse ICE and CBP because we can't trust anybody hired during Pedo Don's regime to have been properly vetted or trained, and as such will be a daily threat to people's constitutional rights.

Winning national 2028 Democratic Party platform:

1) We will dismantle DHS and ICE and purge DHS records taken without judicial warrant ("Fruit of the Poisoned Tree")

2) We will blanket pardon all political prisoners convicted during Dummkopf Trumpf's Reign of Terror (like POTUS Jimmy Carter on 20 Jan 1977 for those that chose not to fight in Vietnam)

3) We will stop funding Israel's genocide of the Palestinians. In 2028, how much property or living space will those poor people have?

4) We will restore the White House to its former grandeur and prosecute Trumpf junta criminals. If necessary, we will ask states to conduct investigations and use federal civil remedies that presidential pardons can not stop.

"You just described how law enforcement has been hiring for the past 30 years or more."
No, it's worse. ICE has significantly lower standards than that.
People who aren't hirable as regular cops are getting hired by ICE.

ICE recruits are failing at FLETC and the BOP is losing guards to join ICE.

Meanwhile, other federal agencies were unable to send their recruits to FLETC to make room for the Sturmabteilung.

Too bad no previous administration, Republican or Democrat, dismantled omniscient DHS and ruthless ICE over the past 22 years.

The American police state, as horrendous as it was, is calcifying at record speed and will be worse in the future.

Concur with all above.

I'm unfamiliar with Oklahoma laws, but the County DA better throw the book at this 2025 Jackass of the Year nominee.

Republicans have never supported the Arts, at least not in my lifetime.
In other words, this is all going according to plan.

Former Democrat Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan were the first ones to abandon their Hollywood brethren during the dreadful AIDS pandemic, weren't they?

Benito Mussolini's secret services were the most effective spy/police agencies of his era, far superior to his military, and the Nazis modelled their security organs after Italy's OVRA.

When the head of Italy's secret service passed, Gestapo leadership flew to Rome for his funeral.

During the Second World War, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel relied on Italian intelligence to fight the Allies in North Africa.

So effective was the OVRA, Il Duce's spies robustly penetrated the Vatican.

With World War Two raging all around his head, every day Il Duce looked forward to hearing about the salacious conduct between the clergymen in the occult bowels of the Vatican.

"Il Duce, I have important news! The Allies have landed at Anzio!"

"But did Cardinal Sarducci ever get to sleep with Father Vito?"

Post-9/11 hysteria and the "GWOT" led to the creation of DHS and ICE, which should never have been created in the first place.

9/11 was the fascist's dream for America, to provide a rationale to establish a police state that uses a massive electronic gulag for everybody (DHS) and an agency that can bypass immigration judges (ICE).

Once in place, both Democratic and Republican administrations used ICE to deport millions and DHS to populate its records.

Too bad no administration since 2008 dismantled DHS and ICE.

Now this monster, which was around since 2003, is on steroids.

Too bad none of the previous administrations, Democratic or Republican, dismantled the post-9/11 DHS and ICE monstrosities that can operate without warrants and deport migrants without an immigration hearing.

One AI snapshot:

"Since its creation after the 9/11 attacks, ICE has carried out millions of deportations. As of late 2025, the Trumpf junta reported that over 527,000 formal deportations had been conducted during its second term alone, with a total of more than two million undocumented immigrants leaving the US since 2021 (including both formal deportations and voluntary departures, or "self-deportations").

Immigrants make up 77.1% of the US workforce aged 16-64.

Over the broader period since ICE's founding in 2003, the agency has deported several million people.

ICE deported 271,000 immigrants in 2024 during Joe Biden's administration, the highest since 2014.

During the Barack Obama administration, about three million deportations occurred.

The total number of deportations from 1892 to 2022 is estimated at nine million, with a significant portion happening since ICE's creation."

Too bad indeed, because with DHS and ICE, the police state is going to be a lot worse for all of us under Dummkopf Trumpf.

FTA: "Our traditional allies are not always laughing. More often they're wringing their hands as you luxuriate in the company of international outlaws like Vladimir Putin, Nayib Bukele, Benjamin Netanyahu and mouth stupendous lies such as that Zelensky started the war with Russia."

My bolded insert above.

Remarkable that writer Mona Charen would mention tinhorn despot Nayib Bukele (President of where?), but omit ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu, an ogre responsible for the deaths of 70,000 human beings and who has turned Israel into a Pariah nation and a Rogue state.

And Netanyahu's sulfuric presence was just in the US poisoning our air mere days ago.

I'll wager that in future pieces Ms. Charen will vehemently condemn Dummkopf Trumpf for bombing Venezuelans, but not when he bombs Iranians or Houthis.

The percentage of eligible Americans that vote in elections hovers slightly over 60%.

Per www.worldpopulationreview.com:

"The highest percentage of voter turnout in a US presidential election in the past 120 years was 66.7% in 2020, which is the highest since 1908. The average turnout for presidential elections so far this century is about 63.8%, while the average for midterm elections is around 47.8%."

So, now we have a geriatric fascist in charge of the country who does everything to help the oligarchs extract more wealth from the American people while the middle class and the poor struggle with food, rental, and medical bills. The 'BBB" and spreading diseases will kill Americans too, on top of the 48,000 average that die by firearms every year.

Where are the ~35% to ~50% who don't vote in national and mid-term elections, but could?

Dummkopf Trumpf's "War on the Somalis" has been temporarily stymied.

"Minnesota has the nation's largest Somali community. Many fled the long civil war in their east African country and were drawn to the state's welcoming social programs.

A report produced for Congress in August put the number of Somalis covered by the TPS program at just 705 nationwide."

"The USCG is continuing to pursue the Guyana-flagged Iranian-linked sanctioned crude oil tanker, M/T Bella 1, which is currently sailing northwest through the Northern Atlantic possibly towards Iceland or Greenland, with the crew having recently painted the Russian Flag on the hull of the ship, appearing to claim protection status from the Russian Federation."

Hi Danforth:

Your answer to your grand nephew "bigger fools" about bitcoin is perfect.

There is an old mafia philosophy that I have used over the decades in the military or USIC:

"If you don't understand it, get rid of it."

Years ago, a US Army Major handed me a raw intelligence report (IIR) which was fairly important. I edited the confusing chaff out of the IIR to get to the BLUF, or the "meat of the matter" and put the report into the national portal (SIPRNET).

Problem solved.

Another time I had a chance to fire an AK-47 rifle overseas. Having qualified on many weapons over the years, I never fired one of these loud Bolshevik firecrackers. I was unfamiliar with its operation, even though assault rifles basically work the same way.

To save my hearing (even with earplugs AK-47s are loud) and not look too stupid, I politely declined the offer from my "allied" colleague.

Problem solved.

Oh, bitcoin stuff and investments? No thank you.

Problem solved.

According to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), the scams surfaced nationwide at bitcoin ATM kiosks. Victims were typically instructed by phone or text to deposit cash and transmit cryptocurrency to external digital wallets.

The US has over 45,000 active cryptocurrency cash kiosks placed largely in retail stores, gas stations and shopping centers, enabling near-instant cash conversion to crypto and transfer to external wallets, often in under five minutes.

Many transfers were routed to wallets later identified in fraud investigations spanning Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, and West Africa.

The spike matters now because kiosk networks have grown rapidly alongside broader cryptocurrency adoption.

Dummkopf Trumpf appointed prominent Scientologist Patricia Duggan to the Kennedy Center Board of Trustees earlier this year, and real estate developer and church member Grant Cardone spoke at his Madison Square Garden rally in 2024.
Leah Remini has been a vocal critic of her old religion, which many consider to be a cult, since leaving the Church of Scientology in 2013.

She accused notorious church leader David Miscavaige of physical and emotional abuse, and said the religion treats non-celebrity members like cattle compared to stars like Tom Cruise and John Travolta. Remini also said the church continues its "fair game" practice established by founder L. Ron Hubbard, which calls for the harassment of perceived enemies.

The church responded to Remini by slandering her as a "bigot" and a "horrible person" after she filed a harassment lawsuit in 2023; the case is currently ongoing.

FTFY!

The tea leaves intimate the Baltic States are next; they still have tiny Russian minorities (or had) and they are smaller targets.

And Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia each have separate military commands, unlike Poland.

The Baltic states must combine their geographic AOR under one unified command, because that's how they will be attacked-- all at once.

Perhaps the NATO planners already configured the three Baltic militaries that way already.

Of course former KGB officer Aleksander Lukashenko will help former KGB officer Vladimir Putin.
