Well, if VPOTUS Kamala Harris is/was a "Border Czar," she seems to be doing a pretty good job looking at these recent cases.

Perfect DNC counter ads below:

Eighteen MS-13 Members and Associates Sentenced for 10 Murders, Seven Attempted Murders, Kidnapping, Drug Trafficking, and Firearms Offenses

Nineteen Alleged Members of Human Smuggling Organization Charged for Illegally Bringing Migrants into United States

We should ask these Koch Brother shills what the going rates are. Beijing pays their narks pennies (the CCP term for them is "Wu Mao").

And let's not forget part of #45's splendid 2024 involved excruciating and devastating civil litigation loses at the hands of two minorities (Ms. Letitia James and Mr. Alvin Bragg).

And the NYSAG continues to help Kamala.

Thank you for posting. The USIC keeps a wary eye on the nuclear-powered Hermit Kingdom which allows their people to starve while the new Dear Leader bloats himself on food like a deer tick.

For decades the DPRK has resorted to illicit activities to support itself (counterfeiting US currency, drug trafficking, and now lucrative IT exploitation).

This has been a splendid year for #45. The dotard spent weeks in a stuffy NYC court overseen by a Hispanic judge without access to pristinely clean toilets AND where the "Central Park Five" were wrongfully prosecuted in 1989; five innocent boys that #45 demanded be executed. See his full-page ad below.

Now #45 realizes by selecting a bearded hillbilly, he picked the worst VPOTUS candidate imaginable. Too bad Steve Bannon wasn't around to guide his aspartame-addled brain.

Concur with all above.

Thanks to the GOP, the NRA, and ALEC, the US is one enormous warzone and Americans are in a daily lethal lottery: "Will I or a loved one be shot today?" In approximately six to seven years, every single American regardless of race or class will be able to say that they have been touched by gun violence using the "six degrees of separation" algorithm (see below).

Doc Sarvis: With the exception of the AK-47 (too loud for my musical ears when I had a chance to test one) and the 9mm Browning Hi-Power, I too have unfortunately been around weapons in my career. But like our favorite TV detective Columbo, I can't stand guns.

We've watched America devolve into firearms anarchy where funeral business owners and gun manufacturers are enjoying supremo cigars at the expense of tens of thousands of innocent casualties every year. And there is no end to it.

While American youth are becoming more progressive and inclusive, Israeli youth are on an opposite vector, growing more conservative. Their extremist support in 2023 ushered in the farthest right government Israel ever had. See Vox analysis below.

For the foreseeable future, this Likudnik PM will represent and lead Israel while the Palestinians are erased, amputated, starved, bombed, displaced, maimed, evicted, imprisoned or jailed without charge, droned, burned, sniped at, deprived of a national soccer team, impoverished, and just plain humiliated.

Mobile training maneuvers indeed. How much more of this torture must we Americans endure?

"A national coalition of Slave Patrol unions offered its endorsement to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump."

"The history of police work in the South grows out of this early fascination, by white patrollers, with what African-American slaves were doing. Most law enforcement was, by definition, white patrolmen watching, catching, or beating black slaves."

Between 2003 and 2008, $40bn in cash was wrapped in cellophane and flown in USAF cargo planes from the NY Federal Reserve Bank to Baghdad Intl Airport (BIAP), Iraq.

Not understanding Iraqi tribal names, these moneys were distributed willy-nilly and disappeared into a black hole.

Whenever jihadists were caught with US currency (or weapons), MNFI ran the traces on the serial numbers.

Concur. The question is how long will it take and how much more human misery and environmental degradation will Eastern Europe suffer until then?

Update:

Turkish police detained a Russian man suspected in the car bombing in Moscow that wounded two people, one of whom is reported to be a senior military intelligence officer.

The man, Yevgeny Serebryakov, a Russian citizen, is suspected of conducting the terrorist act using an IED. Serebryakov arrived on a flight from Moscow and was detained by police in Turkey's Mugla Province.

I wonder how the indigenous people survived in these environments centuries ago.

But we must harken to our better angels, LYD. Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson (R-NC) needs intensive psychological counseling. This a "Duty to Warn" perspective, not an ad hominem attack on him.

Hi Doc Sarvis

Good stuff. I wanted to cite those stamps you mentioned, but I was unable to locate them through my searches. The other imagery I was unable to find were some musicians and hippies at Woodstock wearing swastika pendants (nicht der hakenkreuzen).

Blech!

AMERICANUNITY:
In my drives along the local routes of the US, I witnessed the same thing. And years ago I gave a small cash amount to my then-girlfriend so she could bail her father out of jail over a minor infraction. He was dirt poor but had Bush (Senior) signs outside his trailer park home. This family was able trace their ancestry to the Civil War, so they weren't poor immigrants.

So many Americans won't take the "red pill" because they've got their gun rights and knows a woman's place is in the kitchen or the bedroom.

This video shows how #45 will react when he is finally put into a prison cell. The USSS S/A will stand post outside the cell watching his protectee spaz out in a standing conniption like we see in the video.

You wonder what #45's nephew thought when he first saw this.

And this is who Republicans want as their POTUS?

Poor people that vote for the GOP are like chickens that like Colonel Sanders.

You wonder about GOP VPOTUS picks over the last several years: Sarah Palin, Paul Ryan, Mike Pence, and now redneck J Dunce Vance. No wonder the Russian analyst said what he said: #45 made a strategic blunder. Women will propel the imminent Blue Tsunami, along with people of color, and all hard-working tax-paying Americans who don't give a darn about Iran.

And Joe Biden outfoxed #45 by his timed withdrawal after the RNC convention where the GOP blowhards wasted all their airtime and ammunition on a diversionary target.

I imagine Uncle Joe will spend the next few months pardoning unjustly convicted people and issuing thoughtful Executive Orders protecting the environment, women's rights, as well as food, aviation, and workplace safety regulations. You can see examples in the official links below:
