  1. Their existence will be crushed': Trump spokesperson delivers ominous warning to critics

    By Travis Gettys November 13, 2023

    https://www.rawstory.com/donald-trump-vermin/

     

    - Donald Trump -

     

    “We pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country…”

     

    “ Numerous historians and other experts were disturbed by Trump language, saying they echoed words used by fascist dictators in the past to stir up violence against their enemies, but a spokesman for the ex-president offered a menacing denial.

     

    “Those who try to make that ridiculous assertion are clearly snowflakes grasping for anything because they are suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome and their entire existence will be crushed when President Trump returns to the White House," Steven Cheung, a Trump campaign spokesman, told the newspaper.”

     

    So, are you a Snowflake or a Vermin?

  2. 'QAnon Shaman' files paperwork to run for political office in Arizona: report

    By M.L. Nestel November 11, 2023

    https://www.rawstory.com/qanon-shaman-2666232218/

    “The man who became the face of the Jan. 6 riot is ready to rule.

    Jacob Chansley, aka "QAnon Shaman," entered the Capitol building back in 2021 clad in fur pelts and horned headdress at the dais where Vice President Mike Pence had moments before been presiding at the certification of the 2020 election.

    Now he wants to become a change agent for Arizonans.

    He officially filed a statement of interest to run for Arizona’s 8th Congressional District in Congress, according to News 12.

    The move comes only months after the 35-year-old was released from a Phoenix halfway house having served about 27 months of his 41 month sentence.”

    "As I document in The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy, most white evangelicals sincerely believe that God designated America to be a promised land for white European Christians. That is not a joke to them. If a person sincerely believes such a thing and the country is changing and is not in agreement with that vision, it opens the door to political extremism and violence to secure that outcome. Many conservative White Christians truly believe that they have a divine mandate and entitlement to the country."

  4. Trump admits in court he wasn't president in 2021 when he was 'keeping our country safe'

    by David Edwards November 6, 2023

    https://www.rawstory.com/trump-president-2021/

     

    ""Trump brings up the 2021 valuation of the joint venture, but says he wasn't really involved with it," Law360 crime reporter Stewart Bishop revealed. "Trump says he was very busy as president."

    "My threshold was China, Russia and keeping our country safe," Trump reportedly said.

    Prosecutor Kevin Wallace offered to refresh Trump's memory.

    "And just to refresh your recollection, you were not president in 2021?" he asked.

    "No I wasn't," Trump admitted."

     

    This should be mentioned 400 times a day, every single day between now and November, 2024.

  5. Trump's plan to rig a swing state election in his favor could backfire on GOP: report
    By David McAfee November 4, 2023
    https://www.rawstory.com/trump-rig-backfire/
    "Instead of holding either a caucus or a primary, Nevada is holding both, just two days apart in early February. The primary, on Feb. 6, is being conducted by the state, using all the state voting precincts with ballots mailed to every registered Republican," according to the report. "The caucus, on Feb. 8, requires participants to find the site closest to their home designated by the pro-Trump state party during two specific hours that night to cast a paper ballot that will be counted by hand, by the pro-Trump state party."
    "If that pattern continues this year, the winner of the Feb. 6 primary could easily draw more votes than the winner of the Feb. 8 caucuses but wind up with none of the state’s 26 delegates to the summer nominating convention. Those will all be awarded based on the caucus result, and  the party is not allowing candidates who participate in the primary to enter the caucus.
    Even if the winner of the February 6th Primary received more votes than the winner of the February 8th caucus, it won’t matter. They won’t get delegates,' Gibbs wrote," the report states. “The voters will not react well to that, nor will the campaigns.”

  6. 21 minutes ago, Tom Gram said:

    Do you suspect that Crigler was full of it and the meeting actually happened earlier? It seems very odd to me that Ofstein would send a letter inviting the Oswalds to dinner after not seeing or speaking to Lee for five months. 

    Also, do you know what happened to the Russian publications that the FBI obtained from Ofstein? It seems like there should be a lab report, photos, etc. since Oswald’s handwriting was on one of them. 

    Tom,

    Crigler said that about a week after meeting Ofstein in August, he (Ofstein) had visited Crigler in his home, and that twice more he (Crigler) had visited Ofstein in his (Ofstein’s) house.

    On 12/4/63 FBI Special Agent Anatole Boguslav obtained from Dennis Ofstein three Russian language publications which Ofstein claimed he had received from Lee Harvey Oswald. One was called “Soviet White Russia”, the other two were called, “The Agitator” and “The Crocodile.”

    https://www.maryferr...eId=25&tab=page

    The were given FBI Document Number D81 and Warren Commission Exhibits, Q478, Q479, and Q480.

    Q478 is a magazine called “Agitator”, Issue# 6, March, 1963.

    Q479 is a magazine called, “The Crocodile”, Issue# 4, February 10, 1963

    Q480 is a newspaper called “Soviet White Russia”, issue date date Thursday, March 28, 1963

    These are pro-communist publications, put out by the Soviet government.

    Now, I don't want to put too fine a point on this, but Ofstein couldn't have seen a Russian newspaper called "White Soviet Russia" in "middle to late" February" that hadn't been published yet until March 28th. Were "The Agiator" and "The Crocodile" part of that "some Russian literature" that Ofstein mentioned that was over and above the "Soviet White Russia" newspaper?

    In August, 1963, Ofstein meets Crigler and tells him that he (Ofstein) knows a guy who speaks Russian and worries that he might be a security risk. Crigler couldn't remember if Ofstein mentioned Oswald's name. If Ofstein was worried that he knew a Russian speaking guy, and knowing him might jeapordize his (Osfstein's future employment, why would Ofstein still have pro-communist Russian language publications in his possession in December of 1963  that had been published in February and March?

  7. Remember too about Dennis Ofstein:

    Colin Crow:

    http://www.jfkassassinationforum.com/index.php?topic=11247.25;wap2

    OFSTEIN said this statement aroused his suspicions and he asked Sgt. TOM CRIGLER, who is employed with the U. S. Army Recruiting Station, Dallas, and is a resident of the Oak Cliff area of Dallas, regarding this. He said he told CRIGLER he had run into a fellow at work who had spent some time in Russia and he wondered if the FBI should run a security check on him inasmuch as he, OFSTEIN, did not want to jeopardize his own status for any possible future security clearances in the event he ever returned to the U. S. Army."

    The problem with the above is the fact that Sgt. Tom Crigler told the FBI that Ofstein contacted him in August, 1963. Five months AFTER Oswald had left Jaggars. Why would Ofstein suddenly want the FBI to run a check on Oswald in August, 1963 when he allegedly hadn't seen the guy in five months? Why would Ofstein be concerned about "future security clearances" a minimum of five months after Oswald had spoken to him about "microdots" and three months before the assassination? Why did Ofstein say it was the "microdot" conversation that pushed him into the Crigler meeting but fail to mention the meeting was in August?

    Ofstein also states that Oswald gave him the details of his P.O. Box address in Dallas and that he sent a letter to it after Oswald had left the company asking (AGAIN) if Oswald and his wife wanted to visit his house for dinner.”


    On December 6, 1963 Thomas Crigler was interviewed by the FBI. He said that he met Olfstein “accidentally” on the street.

    See FBI interview of Crigler December 6, 1963:

    CD 205 p. 478

    https://maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=10672#relPageId=481&tab=page

     

    Thomas H. Crigler, Jr., 1705 McAdams, advised he is currently a Staff Sergeant, U.S. Army Security Agency, Field Representative, assigned to U.S. Army Recruiting Station, Dallas. He advised that he and Dennis Ofstein were assigned to the same U.S. Army branch in Europe and that he knew Ofstein from about June, 1960 to December, 1960 purely as another person attached to the same unit with him. He said that he had never become socially or well acquainted with Ofstein at that time. He said the caption of their group was the 507th USASA Group, Heilbron, West Germany.”

    (This is actually spelled Heilbronn)

     

    However, he said later in his FBI interview that about a week after meeting Ofstein in the street in August, Ofstein and his family came to Crigler's house, and that twice more he and his wife visited Ofstein at his (Ofstein's) house.

     

    The 507th US Army Security Agency Group was established on August 10, 1957/

     

    In researching the 507th UASA Group:

    https://www.usarmygermany.com/Sont.htm?https&&&www.usarmygermany.com/Units/ASA Europe/USAREUR_ASAE.htm

     

    In contrast to Vietnam where airborne COMINT was playing a significant role in the 1960s, there was no need for airborne COMINT assets in Europe where the ASA collected COMINT via a well-established network of fixed Field Stations.”

     

    Our mission was communications monitoring and intercept

     

    https://www.usarmygermany.com/Sont.htm?https&&&www.usarmygermany.com/Units/ASA Europe/USAREUR_ASAE.htm

    In May 1951, HHC, 502nd Communications Reconnaissance (Comm Rcn) Group was activated at Ft. Devens, MA. The unit received orders to move to Germany in June 1952. Upon arrival in Europe, the Group was assigned to HQ ASA, Europe and ordered to Badenerhof Kaserne in Heilbronn. The 502nd was probably further attached to the Seventh Army and assigned the mission of providing signal intelligence and security support to the field army and its subordinate units. At this time, the 502d Group also assumed control of the 302d and 307th Communications Reconnaissance Battalions which were already in country.

    On 15 October 1957, the 502nd ASA Gp was redesignated as 507th USASA Gp.

    The 507th reported directly to Headquarters USA Europe.

    Mr. OFSTEIN Well, when I went in the service I was interested in radio--I was a disc jockey at the time, and the closest thing my recruiting sergeant said that I could get to radio would be possibly with the Army security agency, so I signed up, and after basic training I went to Fort Devens, Mass., and was held there on a temporary status while the agency determined what type training I should have, and I was given a language ability test and passed that and had a choice of three languages to take, and Russian was my first choice and I was sent to Monterey to study.

    Ofstein was interviewed by FBI Agent, Kenneth Jackson on December 2, 1963. Jackson wrote up his Report on December 3, 1963.

    See CD 205 p. 472.

    https://maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=10672#relPageId=475&tab=page

    Ofstein told the FBI of his having sought out Thomas Crigler because he was suspicious of Oswald when Oswald told him (Ofstein) that microdots could be “hidden under postage stamps and used in espionage operations”.

     

    Thomas H. Crigler was interviewed by FBI Agent Kenneth Jackson on December 6, 1963.

    He told Jackson that he met Dennis Ofstein “accidentally on the street outside the U.S. Army Recruiting Station sometime in August, 1963, and that they then went into the office.

    On 12/4/63 FBI Special Agent Anatole Boguslav obtained from Dennis Ofstein three Russian language publications which Ofstein claimed he had received from Lee Harvey Oswald. One was called “Soviet White Russia”, the other two were called, “The Agitator” and “The Crocodile.”

    In August, 1963, Ofstein meets Crigler and tells him that he (Ofstein) knows a guy who speaks Russian and worries that he might be a security risk. Crigler couldn't remember if Ofstein mentioned Oswald's name.

    Crigler said that about a week after meeting Ofstein in August, he (Ofstein) had visited Crigler in his home, and that twice more he (Crigler) had visited Ofstein in his (Ofstein’s) house.

    Mr. JENNER. Looking at Commission Exhibit No. 427 again, would you identify the handwriting and block printing on this Exhibit 427, if you can?
    There appears the word "terminated" with the date 4-6-63, which I assume is April 6, 1963?
    Mr. GRAEF. Yes.

    Ofstein's WC testimony was taken at 2 p.m., on March 30, 1964.

    Mr. OFSTEIN. No, sir. After Oswald was released from employment, I did ask the recruiting sergeant for Army security here in town, who I was stationed with overseas, about the possibility of getting the FBI to run a routine check on him because of the fact that I have done security work, and the. fact that I also--this was just before I wrote the letter to Oswald inviting him and his wife over--due to the fact that I wanted to keep my record clean. Well, I didn't suspect him as being a spy or anything like that--I just wanted to make sure I was with the right company, and he told me that it was probably nothing.

     

    So, Ofstein writes a letter to Oswald after meeting with the sergeant from the Army Security Agency.

     

    Did Crigler follow up? Did he contact the FBI about Oswald in August, 1963?

  8. Donald Trump's lawyer is complaining that Trump has so many trials that he can't attend them all.

    He want to appear in Florida by telephone.

    "As the Court may be aware, the undersigned counsel for President Trump, Christopher M. Kise, is unable to attend the November 1st hearing in person because he is engaged at trial in New York State Supreme Court. Given this conflict, the undersigned respectfully requests that this Court allow him to attend the November 1, 2023, hearing telephonically," Kise wrote in his submission."

    But it's not Trump;s fault. "They" are just out to get him.

    ""The fact that they continue to contend that it is appropriate and not a violation of President Trump's due process rights to push forward with back-to-back multi-month trials in different districts with wholly different facts — over a defendant's objection — reveals a central truth about these cases," Kise wrote".

  9. Trump, who once appeared to defend January 6 threats against Pence, calls on his former VP to endorse him

    https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/28/politics/trump-pence-endorsement-antisemitism-biden/index.html

     

    “Former President Donald Trump said Saturday that Mike Pence should endorse his bid for the White House after his former vice president dropped out of the race for the Republican nomination earlier in the day.

    “Because I had a great successful presidency, and he was the vice president, he should endorse me,” said Trump, the front-runner for the 2024 GOP nod. “I chose him, made him vice president. But … people in politics can be very disloyal. I’ve never seen anything like it.””

  10. Sydney Powell is now claiming that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump and that she is the victim of extortion by the Georgia prosecutors for her guilty plea.

    It will be interesting to see what the court does with that. She told the judge that her guilty plea was freely given, and was not the result of any pressure.

    Did she lie to the judge? I think he might want to find out.

    Her plea agreement may be withdrawn, and she might stand trial after all.

  11. New Speaker of the House, Johnson,

    “I don’t believe there are any coincidences in a manner like this. I believe that Scripture, the Bible is very clear that God is the one that raises up those in authority." "And I believe that God has ordained and allowed each one of us to be brought here for this specific moment in this time."

    That's okay. You can lie, you can steal, you can kill; but that's okay.

    If you've got power, it's because God wanted you to.

    You've been ordained, baby.

  12. Trump backs insurrectionist Mike Johnson in speaker bid with an eye on 2024 election
    By Travis Gettys October 25, 2023 
    https://www.rawstory.com/mike-johnson-insurrection/

    Johnson, who has represented Louisiana’s 4th congressional district since 2016, was one of the leading figures in House efforts to overturn Trump's election loss.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    The Republican Accountability Project gave him a failing grade for his commitment to democracy, noting that Johnson had signed on to a Texas amicus brief challenging Trump's election loss in key battleground states and whipped up anger on social media on the morning of the U.S. Capitol riot.

    “We MUST fight for election integrity, the Constitution, and the preservation of our republic!" Johnson tweeted. "It will be my honor to help lead that fight in the Congress today.”

    Johnson voted against certifying Joe Biden's election win after then-House speaker Nancy Pelosi gaveled Congress back into session on Jan. 6, 2021, and he voted against the bipartisan commission to investigate the insurrection and voted against holding Steve Bannon in contempt of Congress.

    "Rep. Johnson has no interest in preserving our democracy, he gets an F," the Republican Accountability Project stated.

  13. "Never has U.S. history been as entertaining as when taught by stable genius Professor Donald Trump. In this 3-minute crash course, you will learn:

    • How the Continental Army "manned the airports" during the Revolutionary War
    • Andrew Jackson caused the Civil War, even though he died 16 years before the Civil War started
    • The same Andrew Jackson was "really angry" during the Civil War
    • The Great Depression started in 1928
    • Hitler went through countries "like cheese"
    • A wheel is older than a wall
    • The Canadians burned down the White House
    • And much much more!

    "If we don't know our history, it could all happen again," says Prof. Trump, whose unwavering gravitas when sharing his expertise on the subject makes for a perfect punchline. "Have to know our history," he concludes — a history which, he discloses in the end, was taught to him by Melania.

  15. - Donald Trump -

    "On Sunday morning in a Truth Social post, where he once again misspelled "stolen" as "stollen," the former president also insisted, "MS. POWELL WAS NOT MY ATTORNEY, AND NEVER WAS."

    In total, he wrote, "Sidney Powell was one of millions and millions of people who thought, and in ever increasing numbers still think, correctly, that the 2020 Presidential Election was RIGGED & STOLLEN, AND OUR COUNTRY IS BEING ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED BECAUSE OF IT!!!""

     

    I know I wanted to make her my Special Counsel and put her in charge of the military going around and seizing voting machines all over the country, but SHE WAS NEVER MY ATTORNEY"

  16. St. Louis cancels youth football team’s season after parent allegedly shot the coach

    “A St. Louis youth football team had the rest of its season canceled after a player’s parent allegedly shot the coach multiple times for not putting his son as a starter for the team, according to city and police statements.”

     

    One man is seriously injured. Another man will probably spend the majority of his life in jail. and the children can't play football anymore.

    We have become seriously insane.

    Republican members of Congress are getting death threats if they don't vote a certain way.

    Judges are being killed. (A judge in Maryland was killed last night) That's what Mexican cartels do.

    I read that Mitt Romney is spending $5,000 a day for security for him and his family.

  17. The Kraken has cracked!

    Sydney Powell takes Guilty Plea on the eve of her trial.

    https://themessenger.com/politics/sidney-powell-pleads-guilty-trump-georgia-willis

    "Powell spoke briefly during her guilty plea hearing, where she was sentenced to six years of probation and must pay a fine of $6,000, as well as $2,700 in restitution to the state for the replacement of election equipment in a rural Georgia county where some of the crimes she's admitted guilt to occurred. She admitted to charges of conspiracy to commit election interference and must also write an apology letter to the citizens and state of Georgia.  

    Under the terms of the plea deal, Powell is barred from speaking to the media or making public statements about the facts of the case. Most important for the other co-defendants in the case, Powell is expected to provide cooperative testimony for prosecutors in the trials of the remaining defendants. She already gave a recorded statement to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' office on Wednesday night and also agreed to turn over documents to the DA's office, Young said."

    ""You're to testify truthfully against any and all co-defendants in this matter at any upcoming proceedings," Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, who is presiding over all the Trump cases, told Powell."
