Federal prosecutors in Chicago have been investigating Authentic Campaigns Inc., a Democratic fundraising firm once co-owned by Lauren Merchan, the daughter of NYS Judge Juan Merchan who in 2024 oversaw Trump's New York hush-money trial. read more
Shasta County Registrar of Voters Clint Curtis bleated that he will be hiring 2020 election denier Tina Peters as an Assistant Registrar of Voters next month with a possible salary ranging between $43,368 to $62,232 per annum.
Shasta County population: 182,155; 83% white, 13.4% Latino; this MAGA county allows concealed firearms in state government buildings.
Poll results released from Larry and David Ellison-owned CBS: Democrats are mostly positive on socialism and have a more favorable impression of it than of capitalism.
The second-home surcharge pushed by NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani hit a stumbling block this week when a Staten Island judge temporarily blocked its implementation.
Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir publicly advocated for killing "30 to 40" people in Gaza each night. Ben-Gvir -- who can't wait to see young Palestinian convicts executed in Israeli Death Forces (IDF) concentration camps -- criticized the recent drawdown of homicidal airstrikes in Gaza. "It's no secret, I disagree with the prime minister," the blood-thirsty minister brayed. "I think targeted assassinations should be carried out in Gaza, taking down 30 to 40 every night. Not just those who pose an immediate threat -- here are people who are not worthy of life. They shouldn't live. They're not even people."
Itamar Ben-Gvir is obviously not a good human being

"Tina Peters is the former county clerk in Mesa County, Colorado who was convicted on seven counts of election interference in August 2024. She had her nine-year prison sentence commuted by Colorado's good-for-nothing Governor Jared Polis (D) after Dummkopf Trumpf threatened to withhold federal funding from the Centennial State."

Painful, but necessary post-WWI and -WWII population exchanges helped maintain stability by homogenizing religious or ethnic people geographically. India and Pakistan in the late 1940s comes to mind first.
The Ottoman Empire and Kemalist Turkiye effected population transfers with Athens, saddening Greeks in Anatolia (Izmir) and Turks in Greece, but stopping right-wing nationalists from committing outrages and counter-outrages against innocent people.
The people in northen Syria elected to join Turkiye (Hatay Velayet), while the folks in Mosul voted to join Iraq. These were peaceful border transfers, even though for decades Hafez Assad's stamps and maps showed Hatay as Syrian territory.
1914 Armenian nationalists in the Ottoman Empire -- dashnaks I believe they were called -- made a terrible mistake by siding with Imperial Russia in the hopes that St Petersburg would help them achieve a homeland. But these dashnaks misinterpreted previous signals from Russia and the Western powers about "protecting Christians under Islamic rule," as these were just cynically-rendered excuses to attack and carve up the "Sick Man of Europe."
That blunder cost the Armenian people badly which led to their "Nakba," the 1915 genocide when these people were forcibly moved en masse under terrible conditions. This was not a population exchange, but a one-way transfer that killed 1.5m Armenians.
Had the Armenians stayed loyal to the Ottoman Empire and not cause an uprising during the Great War, as a people and nation they would have been saved and the Armenians would have had more to offer in negotiations such as the Treaty of Sevres (1920). The loss of territory, fortresses, and population weakened them; the Georgians and Azerbaijanis managed much better dealing with the Turks and Russians (White and Bolshevik) in the post WWI upheaval.
When Israel was formed in 1948, they proceeded to do to the Palestinians what the Ottomans did to the Armenians in 1915, a population transfer, not exchange, without compensation for lost lands and property.
Like the Armenians from 1919-1923 in the Transcaucasus who were forced to sit at the "kiddie table," Palestinians are similarly powerless today.
But the Israelis had a chance to split the land with the Palestinians, Druze, Christians, and Bedouins, and chose not too. After the 1993 Oslo Accords, a map was drawn to show how it could have been done: drudge.com
Today, PTSD, hard drug abuse, anti-LGBTQ pogroms, constant wars, and an influx of illegal firearms are negatively impacting Israeli society. So, Israel recorded its first net population migration loss in 2024 and folks there are looking at German citizenship. And Israel's ethnic cleansing have turned them into a Pariah nation with a parallel increase in global antisemitism.
I don't understand any of this mishegoss down there in Kentucky.
And the US Senate has a slim GOP majority with VPUTZ JD Vance as a deciding vote.
This is malfeasance and all designed to benefit the GOP, not the American people or Kentuckians.
Here's one take, but I haven't had time to read it yet: www.evanscutchmorepress.com
Xenophobe Brent Jindra (48) -- who is happy with white foreigners like his wife -- just not colored ones -- certainly seems to eat and live well.
Or used to.
This "stoopiguy"* won't vote for the most progressive candidate in the next US election anyway, watch.

*"Stoopiguy" is "stupid guy" and how the Bangladeshis in NYC pronounce this epithet, eliding the "d."

**** USCENTCOM CMDR: Sailors on USS Abraham Lincoln Facing Mental Health Crises ****
"USCENTCOM CMDR USN Adm. Brad Cooper acknowledged mental health challenges aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln.
Cooper visited the Lincoln as the US war against Iran on Israel's behalf dragged well into its fifth month without a clear end in sight.
The admiral's remarks follow reports that a sailor jumped overboard amid the aircraft carrier's long Middle East deployment."

Nota Bene: The IDF High Command issued a warning to its citizens on 31 Dec 2025 to be ready for a three-front war in the spring (the West Bank, Lebanon, and Iran) knowing that it would take weeks for US aircraft carrier groups (ACGs) to finish operations in Venezuela and then position themselves near Iran.

I'm shocked that these three Congressmen are ethically challenged.
Shocked.
Any time I see a report about mischief, FWA, or legislative nonsense in the US Congress -- like four AIPAC Democrats voting to cut SNAP benefits for hungry pregnant Americans (Link) -- I'm never surprised to see reports like this about America's nomenklatura hiding their pelf.
Never.
