  1. TRUMP STEAKS ANYONE?

    Like Father, Like Son.

     

    “For example, Trump Jr. recently made a post on Instagram promoting Good Ranchers, a MAGA-friendly mail-order meat company.

    “If you haven’t heard about Good Ranchers before, you need to. They’re one of the only companies out there delivering 100% American meat to your door 100% of the time,” Trump Jr. said in the video, which offered the code “MAGAKING” for two free ribeye steaks.”

  2. Jan. 6 investigators appear to have ‘stumbled on another’ crime committed by Trump: legal expert

    by Sky Palma June 13, 2022

    https://www.rawstory.com/jan-6-hearing-trump-crimes/

    “This Monday, the House committee investigating the Capitol riot said that former President Donald Trump fundraised off his false claims of mass voter fraud in the 2020 election.

    “The Trump campaign knew that these claims of voter fraud were false yet they continued to barrage small-dollar donors with emails encouraging them to donate to something called the ‘Official Election Defense Fund,’” senior investigative counsel Amanda Wick said. “The select committee discovered no such fund existed.”

    During a segment on MSNBC this Monday, former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade said the revelation shows that the committee "in investigating one crime may have stumbled on another."

    "...if [Trump] is using a lie as a false pretense to collect money from people, that could also be a charge of wire fraud, so, in that way, we may have seen an expansion of the potential liability here," McQuade said”

    No such fund existed. Fancy that.

    Study Shows Widening Gap in Death Rates Between Democratic, Republican U.S. States

    BY MARTIN M. BARILLAS, ZENGER NEWS ON 6/10/22 AT 5:59 PM EDT
    "

    Published in the British Medical Journal, the study shows that the difference in death rates between Democratic and Republican counties increased by a factor of more than six times from 2001 to 2019.

    This was especially true among white Americans, and was driven by deaths caused by cancer, chronic lung disease, heart disease, suicide, drug overdoses and unintentional injuries."

    "The researchers, led by Dr. Haider J. Wairrach of Harvard University, concluded: "Overall, our finding that Democratic counties have experienced steeper declines in mortality than Republican counties over the past two decades builds upon previous evidence suggesting that more liberal policies, laws, and regulations may be associated with better health outcomes.""

  4. The JFK QAnon Cult Is Heading Back to Dallas for Another ‘Second Coming’

    Michael Protzman, a QAnon influencer, has once again promised that JFK would reappear and reveal himself to the group.”

    by David Gilbert June 10, 2022

    https://www.vice.com/en/article/v7v48d/the-jfk-qanon-cult-is-heading-back-to-dallas-for-another-second-coming

    More than seven months after the group first met in Dallas, it is heading back to the city this weekend after Protzman once again promised that JFK would reveal himself to the group, proving once and for all that he is, in fact, the reincarnation of Jesus Christ. Protzman has already checked into the Hyatt Regency, where hundreds of people gathered back in November.”

    What would Marilyn say, “Happy Birthday, Mr. President.”

    Actually, I would prefer Trump immediately be arrested, tried, and after a guilty verdict, forced to spend the rest of his life in prison.

    That is what I personally hope will happen.

    Matt,

    I just have one question.

    Will Trump's orange jump suit clash with his orange hair and orange skin, or will it complement them?

  6. Trump allies explored sending armed private contractors to seize voting machines in 2020 election

    By Sarah D. Wire June 4, 2022

    https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2022-06-04/trump-allies-proposed-order-to-seize-voting-machines-gave-authority-to-armed-private-contractors

     

    The Nov. 21, 2020, letter includes placeholder text at the top for an introduction conveying the document came from the president. The letter would have granted authority to three third-party companies to seize all election machines and election data at will, and given the companies and their subcontractors the authority to research, obtain and store offsite “all data and/or code regarding US election fraud, election manipulation, voter fraud, election interference, voter eligibility, and election systems wherever it resides.”

    The directive also would have allowed the companies to inspect and analyze any records or equipment related to the election, as well as details about who had contact with them and when. In addition, the letter specified that the U.S. Marshals would assist the effort and the employees of private companies authorized to perform the work would be “granted the authority to be armed when conducting these investigations since most of the operations would be conducted under hostile conditions.””

    Former U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Director Christopher Krebs, who was fired by Trump shortly after he made comments affirming the security of election machines, said the Nov. 21 draft appears to have been written by someone unfamiliar with executive orders and the authority they can and cannot grant.

    Requesting that private contractors be armed to assist in the process of inspecting machines is “chilling” and “implies that whoever drafted this [letter]... views this as some sort of warlike event,” Krebs said.

    You’re talking about issuing letters of marque effectively to a private sector organization to go do some sort of activity on behalf of that executive office of the President,” Krebs said. “A private sector organization has no authority to go and seize state government equipment. The federal government doesn’t even have that authority, particularly in the context of administering elections. And we are looking at a document that says that’s OK.””

    No one was looking for it. 

    Pat,

    It would seem to me that if you were saying that someone was throwing firecrackers as a diversionary tactic, you'd want to know where that person or persons were standing, and then review any film footage you had of that area to see if you could identify that person.

    In all the film evidence that has been examined, has anyone ever been observed lighting a firecracker, or throwing a firecracker? Has anyone ever been observed showing a startle effect , as if someone had dropped a firecracker at their feet? I personally don't remember ever seeing something like that.

  8. U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) now has a podcast,

    https://twitter.com/patriottakes/status/1531024532231839744

     

    “You have to accept the fact that the government totally wants to provide surveillance on every part of your life.”

    “They want to know when you’re eating,” Greene claims in her podcast. “They want to know if you’re eating a cheeseburger, which is very bad because Bill Gates wants you to eat his fake meat that grows in a peach tree dish.”

    “You’ll probably get a little zap inside your body and that’s saying ‘No, no. Don’t eat a real cheeseburger, you need to eat the fake burger, the fake meat, from Bill Gates.”

    “They probably also want to know when you go to the bathroom and if your bowel movements are on time or consistent,”

     

    *Sigh*.

    I miss the good old days of Jewish space lasers.

    I gotta get me one of them peach tree dishes.

    Notice that on January 5th, he says, "I am to receive 70 rubles a month".

    On January 13th, he now says that he is a ""checker", making 700 rubles a month.

  12. One thing I cannot explain is that if Lee H, Oswald submitted an application for employment to the Radio-television plant on January 11, 1960.

    https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=1135#relPageId=440&search="Harvey_Lee+Oswald" page 426 (in English, I might add)

    how could there be a Certificate of Employment saying Lee Harvey Oswald is "presently employed" as an assembler date January  1, 1960? (maybe they forgot the extra 1 between the number 1 and the number 11)

    CE 985 page 111

    I went back to that thread and saw that you had someone looking into it at Fairleigh Dickinson. Any word on that? I am in NJ and an willing to go and look.

    Lee Forman did go to Farleigh Dickinson, but wasn't able to find anything that helped, See page 2 of that thread.

    Steve,

    Your suspicion that the references to Lee Harvey at the Minsk radio plant are just file entries of some sort makes more sense to me than the two Oswalds actually being there at the same time.  Otoh, as you suggested  in your comment about Laura Kittrell earlier, you do seem to believe there were two people claiming the LHO identity, right?

     

    Jim,

    Yes, I believe that there are occasions in the Lee Harvey Oswald biography where you have two people being in different places at the same time, both claiming to be Lee Harvey Oswald. His Marine records are one, One being in Mexico City while at the same time in Alice, Texas is another. II think you and John have given him the name Harvey, I don't know enough about your thesis to know if a Harvey, calling himself Harvey, appears anywhere.

    Harvey Lee Oswald is a third entity. So far, I haven't seen a flesh and blood person that ever appears, saying, "Hi, I'm Harvey Lee Oswald". The closest I've come is the tenant register at 1026 N. Beckley, where the register is signed O.H. Lee.

    I've always interpreted that as Oswald, Harvey Lee.

  15. Ukraine is the West's "Defense in Depth".

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defence_in_depth

    "Defence in depth (also known as deep defence or elastic defence) is a military strategy that seeks to delay rather than prevent the advance of an attacker, buying time and causing additional casualties by yielding space. Rather than defeating an attacker with a single, strong defensive line, defence in depth relies on the tendency of an attack to lose momentum over time or as it covers a larger area. A defender can thus yield lightly defended territory in an effort to stress an attacker's logistics or spread out a numerically superior attacking force. Once an attacker has lost momentum or is forced to spread out to pacify a large area, defensive counter-attacks can be mounted on the attacker's weak points, with the goal being to cause attrition or drive the attacker back to its original starting position."

    We may lose Ukraine, but Russia will be bled dry in the process.

    I doubt that both Oswalds defected to Russia. Certainly the Russian authorities would scrutinize very carefully any American defector, and would have noticed the name similarities between the two Oswalds.would later pass them of as being photos of himself. 

    Sandy,

    I'm not convinced in my own mind that Harvey Lee Oswald was a flesh and blood human being. I've often said that he was a name, a file, a dossier.

    CE 2695 (WC vol XXVI) is a Secret Service interview of Billy Joe Lord (who traveled to Europe with Oswald aboard the SS Marion Lykes). The Report identifies Oswald as Harvey Lee Oswald seven times in the same document.

    That's not clerical error. That's muscle memory.

  17. 'Power without principle': Elise Stefanik slammed by college mentor who encouraged her congressional run

    by Tom Boggioni May 22, 2022

    https://www.rawstory.com/elise-stefanik-2657368906/

    Then along came Trump and everything changed, with the WaPo's Milbank writing, "Ambitious Republican official abandons principle to advance in Trump’s GOP. But perhaps nobody’s fall from promise, and integrity, has been as spectacular as the 37-year-old Stefanik’s."

    According to her old college mentor, "I was just so shocked she would go down such a dark path. No power, no position is worth the complete loss of your integrity. It was just completely alarming to me to watch this transformation. I got a lot of notes saying, ‘What happened to her?’ ”

    Everything that Donald Trump touches, dies.
