- Donald Trump - "Therefore, among other reasons, of course I am entitled to IMMUNITY. ADDITIONALLY, I DID NOTHING WRONG." If you did nothing wrong, why are you talking about immunity? Methinks I hear doublespeak. Steve Thomas

MAGA merch at Trump Tower is Made in China (video) by Mark Frauenfelder Dec 20, 2023 https://boingboing.net/2023/12/20/maga-merch-at-trump-tower-is-made-in-china-video.html “Walter Masterson went to the Trump Tower to show folks all the wonderful Made-in-MAGA Land merchandise available there. The only problem is, everything he looked at, from hats to T-shirts to Donald Trump bobbleheads, all had tags that said "in the Republic of China."Made in China."” Steve Thomas

Ron, That's something I actually believe. Unless his copy had pictures. Steve Thomas

The Colorado District Court found that Donald Trump had engaged in an insurrection, but that he couldn't be removed from the ballot because he was not a federal officer under the terms of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. Mark Meadows, on the other hand, was trying to get his case moved out of the Georgia State Court to Federal Court, because, he claimed, he was a federal officer. Seems like this is bass ackwards.. BTW: This is the third judge in the country that has ruled, based on the evidence, that Donald Trump engaged in an insurrection; one in California in the John Eastman case, and now two in Colorado. Things are beginning to stack up. Steve Thomas

Steve Bannon calls for arming kids with guns to stop school bullying By David Edwards December 19, 2023 https://www.rawstory.com/steve-bannon-school-guns/ “Conservative podcast host Steve Bannon said that children should be taught to handle guns in school so they are not "picked on" by bullies. During a program at Turning Point USA's America Fest on Tuesday, Bannon lamented that gun classes were not taught to young students in most schools. ALSO READ: How Republicans paved the road to Texas with misogyny "We should get kids off social media and start teaching them the proper use of guns, how to defend themselves, their own self-defense," the firebrand conservative said. "Should we not make that an integrated part of the education so they're not picked on or not threatened and certainly not scared, right?" he told the crowd to cheers.” "....he told the crowd to cheers". Gee, that will fix everything. Forget the Wild, Wild West. This is the Wild, Wild PS 13. Steve Thomas

It would be interesting to correlate the timing of Oswald's alleged meeting with two subversive 15 days prior to the assassination, and Oswald's unsuccessful visit to the FBI office to see Hosty. The closest I've come is that Oswald went to see Hosty "one or two weeks" before the assassination. https://maryferrell.org/pages/Destruction_of_the_Oswald_Note.html If Oswald met with subversives 15 days prior to the assassination, and then tried to see Hosty 14 days prior, was he trying to pass something along? Also, it would be interesting to correlate the timing of Oswald's alleged meeting with subversives, and the sighting of him going and out of the house at 3126 Harlandale. Steve Thomas

Immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country! Damned Irish. Send 'em back where they came from, I say. Steve Thomas

One thing that I don't think gets asked often enough, is, if Oswald did indeed walk east down Elm St. after the assassination, where was he headed? For me, I think a clue lies in where he caught the bus. If it was Oswald, he boarded the bus at Elm and Field, in front of the Rio Grande Bldg. Back in 2021, I wrote a piece on the various agencies who had offices in the Rio Grande Bldg. Among them were the 112th INTC, and the INS. I think the ATTU (later known as the ATF - Frank Ellsworth) also had their offices there.i https://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/27429-the-bus-ride/#comment-448551 When the WC asked Will Fritz how he knew Oswald lived on Beckley, he told them that an officer, whose name he could not remember, stopped him out in the hall before he went in to interrogate Oswald for the first time, and told him so. Now, I believe that what Fritz said was a lie, but somebody told him. I have my own thoughts on that, but that's for another time. However, I do think that somebody had their hooks in Oswald, and I think he was trying to make contact, and that's why he he headed east from the TSBD. If he was trying to get home, heading east would have done him no good. Steve Thomas

I like the shot at the FBI. Steve Thomas

The mystery of the missing binder: How a collection of raw Russian intelligence disappeared under Trump By Jeremy Herb, Katie Bo Lillis, Natasha Bertrand, Evan Perez and Zachary Cohen, CNN December 15, 2023 https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2023/12/politics/missing-russia-intelligence-trump-dg/ Washington (CNN) — “A binder containing highly classified information related to Russian election interference went missing at the end of Donald Trump’s presidency, raising alarms among intelligence officials that some of the most closely guarded national security secrets from the US and its allies could be exposed, sources familiar with the matter told CNN. Its disappearance, which has not been previously reported, was so concerning that intelligence officials briefed Senate Intelligence Committee leaders last year about the missing materials and the government’s efforts to retrieve them, the sources said. In the two-plus years since Trump left office, the missing intelligence does not appear to have been found.” Surprise. Surprise. Steve Thomas

- Pastor at Trump rally in Iowa - Trump rally warns that God will punish those who don't worship Dictator Trump Carla Sinclair 7:25 am Thu Dec 14, 2023 https://boingboing.net/2023/12/14/trump-rally-warns-that-god-will-punish-those-who-dont-worship-dictator-trump-video.html "The Donald Trump campaign is now conflating Trump and God, warning a MAGA crowd at a rally in Iowa last night that if you go against the Republican frontrunner, you are rebelling against God. And, as the headlining pastor put it, "there will be retribution against all" who "rebel against the authority." "Let's not lose sight that this election is part of a spiritual battle. There are demonic forces at play. But I want to remind those who have fallen prey to the leadership of such demons…this is the warning: The authorities that exist have been established by God," he said to the cheering MAGA flock. "Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted. And those who do so will bring judgement on themselves. And judgement is coming," the pastor continued. "When Donald Trump becomes the 47th president of the United States, there will be retribution against all those who have promoted evil in this country."" This is pure evil. Steve Thomas

State Republican Parties all over the country are waking up to the fact that their state financial coffers have been bled dry by the election deniers that took over in the last couple of years. State Republican parties in Arizona, Colorado and Michigan are now broke and deeply in debt. That's what you get when you put your trust in bunch of XXXXX and grifters. Steve Thomas

Donald Trump is going to take his January 6th case to the Supreme Court. Donald Trump is going to take his E. Jean Carroll defamation case to the Supreme Court Donald Trump is going to take his Mar-a-Lago documents case to the Supreme Court Donald Trump is going to take his Georgia Election Interference Case to the Supreme Court. If he takes all 91 of his felony counts to the Supreme Court, that's all they are going to be doing for the next five years. At some point, the Supreme Court is going to have to decide that they are not going to hear any more of Donald Trump's cases. Steve Thomas

- Donald Trump - ""Due to the great Excitement and Success of my previous TRUMP DIGITAL TRADING CARDS, we’re doing it again - The MugShot Edition, available RIGHT NOW. Plus, buy 47 cards and get a piece of the suit I wore for the 'Mugshot Photo,' and also get an invite to a Gala Dinner with me at Mar-a-Lago!" Trump posted on Truth Social. "Don’t wait, they’ll go FAST (I believe!). I’m happy if you’re happy. Have fun. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!"" My wife has been saying for years that Donald Trump is nothing more than a huckster and a Carnival Barker. We've never had one of those before. Steve Thomas

Trump Weirdly Tries to Make His ‘Locker Room Talk’ All Profound By Allison Quinn Dec. 10, 2023 https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-weirdly-tries-to-make-his-locker-room-talk-all-profound?ref=home?ref=home “Trump, facing a string of criminal charges over the 2020 election, appeared to grow nostalgic as he recalled the trouble his 2016 presidential campaign found itself in after he was heard crudely bragging about non-consensual groping in a leaked Access Hollywood tape.” “ “We had a meeting when it was looking bad,” he said, describing the scandal as one of many “inescapable situations,” and recalling how he’d been urged to drop out of the race just weeks before the election. “But you know, the next day, or very shortly thereafter, we had the debate… I went onto that stage just a few days later, and a general, who’s a fantastic general, actually said to me, ‘Sir, I’ve been on the battlefield, men have gone down on my left and on my right, I stood on hills where soldiers were killed, but I believe the bravest thing I’ve ever seen was the night you went onto that stage with Hillary Clinton after what happened, and then that woman asked you the first question about it, and [you] said ‘locker room talk.’” “It’s locker room talk! What the hell?! It’s locker room talk,” Trump said.” Trump's godlike bravery leaves me speechless. Steve Thomas

Joe, I don't much like James Hosty, but in all fairness, the FBI had no role to play in motorcade security. If my memory serves me right, Hosty was meeting with Military Intelligence Agent, Ed Coyle and I think A5F Agent, Frank Ellsworth to discuss the recent arms theft from the National Guard Armory in Terrell, TX. You can read discussions of the theft and the arrest of Lawrence Miller and Donnell Whitter for theft here in 2004 and again in 2010: Steve Thomas

So, Cory DeSantis, wife of Ron DeSantis, gets on Twitter (the font of all truthful information) and says, "All you mothers and grandmothers in North Carolina and South Carolina, get on buses and come to Iowa and participate in the Iowa causes. Show your support for my husband, Ron." And the election officials in Iowa raise their hand and say, "Excuse me. Aside from being a total freakin' idiot, we would just like to point out that you have to live in Iowa to participate in the Iowa caucuses." I guess she didn't want her beloved citizens from her home state of Florida committing election fraud. Steve Thomas

To the best of my knowledge (and I could be wrong), the handwriting experts did not compare the signature on the SS card with the signature on the PO money order rifle purchase; which is astounding to me, because the Hidell SS card is the sine qua non that ties Oswald to the rifle purchase. That's why, when I read that Oswald declined to admit that the signature on the SS card was his, the hair on the back of my neck started to go up. Something about that signature is very, very important. Steve Thomas

Beware of the Communist Garlic GOP Sen. sounds alarm about national security risk posed by garlic from 'communist China' By Sarah K. Burris December 7, 2023 https://www.rawstory.com/rick-scott-communist-garlic/ Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) is sounding the alarm on communist garlic... "The Republican sent a letter to Washington, D.C. secretary of commerce Gina Raimondo pointing out that the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 gives the Commerce Secretary the power to investigate imports that could be national security threats — and that garlic from China is one of them. I write to request such an investigation into imports from Communist China of all grades of garlic, whole or separated into constituent cloves, whether or not peeled, chilled, fresh, frozen, provisionally preserved or packed in water or other natural substance, and the threat they pose to U.S. national security," Scott wrote in his letter. "Food safety and security is an existential emergency that poses grave threats to our national security, public health and economic prosperity." He doesn't give any specific security cause for concern from the bulbs. The website Spices Inc and a report by USA Today says most of the garlic sold in the U.S. comes from China — more than 60%. Of domestic garlic, The California Farmland Trust says that 90 percent of commercial garlic comes from that state." Is it any wonder that people don't take these clowns seriously any more?

Greg, I think you're right. The Hidell signature on these two documents do not look like the Hidell signature written by Marina as provided in VOLUME VIII of the the HSCA Report pp. 374 and 375. https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=961#relPageId=379 I cannot say for certain that the SS card and PO order form were signed by Marina. All I can say is that the situation is... muddled Steve Thomas

Taylor Swift was named Time Magazine's Person of the Year. Predictably, Donald Trump and his allies are pissed. Steve Thomas

Greg, I am not a handwriting expert, but in my amateur opinion, they are written by the same person. I say this for three reasons: 1) The way the two sides of the letter H do not touch, 2) The way the letter H flows into the letter I. This is very unusuaI. and consistent in both signaturs 3) The offset dot above the letter i. Again, this is consistent in both. In my amateur opinion. Steve Thomas

Nevada indicts pro-Trump fake electors: report by Matthew Chapman December 6, 2023 https://www.rawstory.com/fake-electors/ “Nevada is the third state where fake electors have been criminally charged. In Georgia, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis charged several accused fake electors as part of a racketeering scheme that includes Trump himself. And in Michigan, Attorney General Dana Nessel has brought felony charges against fake electors.” That didn't go so well. Steve Thomas
