A US Army NCO is in custody after he allegedly used his personal handgun to shoot five fellow soldiers this morning at the Fort Stewart military base in Georgia. The five wounded soldiers are in stable condition and are expected to recover. The suspect, Quornelius Radford (28), is alive and in custody after being subdued by other solders. Radford is an automated logistics sergeant and was assigned to the 2nd Brigade Combat Team. Radford does not have any combat history and will face court-martial charges. The suspect is believed to have been involved in a personal dispute with one of the victims and had an argument with him the previous day. The next day Radford arrived at Fort Stewart with a 9mm gun and opened fire on the soldiers. read more
US Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) is being criminally investigated for possible mortgage fraud. The Federal Housing Finance Agency made a criminal referral to the DOJ, accusing Schiff of altering bank documents and property records in several cases to secure more favorable loan terms. Schiff allegedly has claimed both his Burbank and Maryland homes as his primary residences in order to get more favorable mortgage rates. FHFA Director William Pulte said, "Based on media reports, Mr. Adam B. Schiff has, in multiple instances, falsified bank documents and property records to acquire more favorable loan terms, impacting payments from 2003-2019 for a Potomac, MD-based property. As regulator of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Home Loan Banks, we take very seriously allegations of mortgage fraud or other criminal activity. Such misconduct jeopardizes the safety and soundness of FHFA's regulated entities and the security and stability of the US mortgage market," Pulte added. read more
Ukrainian counterintelligence services are investigating the infiltration of Latin American drug cartel members into the country's International Legion, with operatives seeking advanced drone training to later deploy against rivals and security forces in their home countries. The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) launched a joint investigation with military intelligence after Mexico's National Intelligence Center warned in early summer that Mexican volunteers had joined Ukraine's foreign fighter units specifically to acquire first-person view (FPV) drone capabilities. The probe has since expanded to include Colombian nationals, raising concerns about Ukraine's inadvertent role as a training ground for transnational criminal organizations. Mexican drug cartels have been using FPVs to drop hand grenades on their enemies, including killing some luckless Mexican soldiers. read more

Besides reminding us of Trumpf's cognitive decline, this story also reminds us that under this junta, the US will host the multi-billion dollar FIFA tournament in 2026 and the Summer Olympiad in California in 2028. How many international travelers will not attend and how many countries may boycott these spectacles that Trumpf will use to glorify his regime and himself? m.media-amazon.com
The Trumpf junta on Tuesday formally axed a program launched by billionaire former Trumpf adviser Felon Musk requiring federal employees to summarize their five workplace achievements from the prior week. OPM, the federal human resources agency that implemented Musk's push to slash the federal workforce, announced the end of the "five things" email via a memo that rescinds guidance instructing workers to comply with the initiative.Link: www.reuters.com

What a shame. Years ago people at the Pentagon used to call Dupont Circle "Fruit Loop" because of the sexual orientation of many of the residents there. I wonder if that or drugs were involved in this 3AM fracas? i.kym-cdn.com
#2: Yup, America's nomenklatura, Republican or Democratic, have different rules than the rest of us. Note that Sen John Cornyn (R-TX) padded his nest egg nicely with three public pensions apart from his salary and I think fellow Texan Rick Perry got away with multiple pensions as well.

Must be nice to be so well-connected and insulated from financial problems unlike the vast majority of their constituents.
To distract from this fresh pile of steaming hot poo in Florida, Dotard Trumpf again called for a federal take over of Washington, DC (with Jeanine 'Hic!' Pirro as his new centurion in the AUSA office).
"Crime in Washington, D.C., is totally out of control. Local "youths" and gang members, some only 14, 15, and 16-years-old, are randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent Citizens, at the same time knowing that they will be almost immediately released. They are not afraid of Law Enforcement because they know nothing ever happens to them, but it's going to happen now! The Law in D.C. must be changed to prosecute these "minors" as adults, and lock them up for a long time, starting at age 14..."Link: https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114977985620971126

Hiroshima was adjudged the finest work of American journalism of the 20th century by a 36-member panel associated with New York University's journalism department.
Gee, Ghislaine Maxwell does not want the Epstein files released. Of course not. This harridan does not want her perjury exposed before Dummkopf Trumpf pardons her. "I'll say whatever gets me free, Donald! But keep the files hidden until I'm free in the UK or Israel!"
Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and NYAG Letitia James will have to seek extradition from Texas if she is pardoned from there, which will be a problem for them as this is a Republican state and Gov. Abbott may not comply. There is no double jeopardy if NYC or NYS prosecute Ghislaine Maxwell.

Hi Corky. Where's Alexander Acosta? Miami, Florida. Link: thecinemaholic.com
Mr. Acosta may wish to take an extended vacation in the nearby Bahamas to avoid any subpoenas or inquiries.
The Statute of Limitations for certain crimes of sexual predation in New York State is up to 20 years. Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and NYAG Letitia James must immediately begin the process of local prosecution against Ghislaine Maxwell in the event Trumpf pardons her. Dollars to donuts, should this horrific sex trafficker see the light of day, Maxwell will head for the UK where she is a citizen. If Ghislaine Maxwell was indeed a blackmailing asset for the Mossad as many suspect, she will end up in Israel.
Ghislaine Maxwell knows that she is a huge problem for many, many powerful people that would like to see a neat and permanent resolution to their anxieties: static.wikia.nocookie.net
