We all know the money went to friends and family…right?
Even the New York Times said it was a scam….
USAID:
“Missteps, Confusion and ‘Viral Waste’: The 14 Days That Doomed U.S.A.I.D.”
Much of the more than $35 billion it managed last year went to Washington-based contractors, not directly to communities in need overseas.

One can make choices. I now file for an extension every year and for the past 20 years or so have purposely sought to legally avoid payment of any tax, so much so that my state pays my Medicare premium now.
I’ve withdrawn my skillset and business from the economy. On purpose. I can still build plowshares or swords, without a doubt.
I don’t complain about adversarial actions of government. I make personal choices to assert my rights as a free man, including kinetic action. Economic war so far has been successful. It has paid for armament and training. Next move is up to the oppressor.
Watching that retirement account and investment portfolio? Congrats, support the enemy. 🙂

🚨 BREAKING: Harry Reid appointee and Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough is STRIKING DOWN MASSIVE portions of Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, requiring them to obtain 60 votes in the Senate instead of 50+1.
This INCLUDES:
– Defunding sanctuary cities
– Reining in activist judges
– DEFUNDING the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a huge target of DOGE
– Rolling back the EV mandate
– Allowing states to conduct border security and immigration enforcement
RIDICULOUS. She needs to be fired.
Cont reading….

So, the ‘key’ to getting anything done in DC is saddled to a dead man who is just ‘roryin’ to come back to earth as an alien in a UFO?
God, Have Mercy . . .
Actually he’s roaring to come back from hell any which way he can. I hope he and the Parliamentarian crashes and burns before reaching the surface.
So wait….You’re telling me that nary a soul saw this coming? That this…. IED.. was in place and ready to wreak havoc? Tell me it ain’t so…

And now this. MAGA (and the President as leader there of) needs to get serious about getting as many MAGA representatives and senators elect. RNC too busy doing nothing last election which is why seats in both houses, that could have go Republican, were stolen.
From the grave, Harry Reid reaches out to crush MAGA plans.
Johnson and Thune need to immediately make this a separate bill and get it passed.
There is that Barrasso RINO right behind Thune. ALWAYS in a photo op.
They can’t do that in a Reconciliation Bill. Too bad
So they have to pass a law to stop sending money to the Taliban
Here you go….
Since the withdrawal of its troops from Kabul in the summer of 2021, the US has spent almost $21 billion on aid for Afghanistan. Part of this sum has kept the Taliban regime afloat.
https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2024/08/28/us-aid-is-still-vital-to-afghanistan_6722732_4.html
The US Taxpayer is financially supporting the Ukraine AND Afghanistan? Nothing left in Social Security, Medicare, yet another tax, is $250/month and the Doc charges $500/visit so you have to have a supplemental that costs $300.00/month. Property taxes are guaranteed to go up 6%/yr. So I guess supporting Ukraine and the Poppy Fields in Afghanistan is fair./ do I need the sarc?

U.S. intel found Iran did not move nuclear material from Fordo ahead of attack, Sen. Mullin says
U.S. intelligence found that Iran did not move nuclear material from its Fordo facility before American B-2 bombers struck it on Saturday, said Sen. Markwayne Mullin.
“In fact, we actually believe they stored more of it in Fordo because they believe Fordo was impenetrable,” said Mullin, an Oklahoma Republican.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/u-s-intel-found-iran-did-not-move-nuclear-material-from-fordo-ahead-of-attack-sen-mullin-says/ar-AA1HgodX
I would read Mullin’s quotes very carefully there… he’s doing more tap dancing than Lindsey Graham at a Tony Awards watch party…
“Oh yeah, we totally obliterated that place… nothing left. But just in case we didn’t, we can certainly keep bombing…”
U.S. intel is very unreliable. Don’t believe it.
She’s buying crap … she’s feeding that to her kids? Not good!
Well she looked pretty well fed to me. Maybe quit eating he crappy snacks and pitch the soda. That should save you enough money to buy food, Not the crap you “call ‘ food
Heaven forbid the woman had to actually make her own snacks!
She can’t afford a dozen eggs to make a cookie from scratch, cuz she spent the “food” money on chips, etc.
So the kids don’t get a home made cookie, and they don’t get an egg for breakfast.
With what she spent on that food, I could have made cookies from scratch, bought some fresh veggies and fruit and shopped around for chicken and other meat on sale and eggs and also decent breakfast meat and those kids would have had healthy meals. Hard boiled eggs are great to eat as snacks or, make egg salad for sandwiches. I am shaking my head in disgust.
With summer here, the grocery stores put different cuts of meats on sale and/or chicken around here. Also fruits and veggies are plentiful now and they don’t cost as much as winter.
I think it comes down to not wanting to take the time and effort into cooking, baking and prep work. That is all I know how to do as I was taught by my Grandmother and Mother
She is a farmer. By putting her children on this diet she is raising couch potatoes and vegetables.
I want to eat lunch at her house!
wow. That’s disgusting.
Maybe quit with the “snacks”, lady, and buy your kids some real food to eat.
Those poor kids are bound to grow up fat and lazy.
And what’s *really* insane is that this woman had no second thoughts on displaying this gross junk she feeds her kids daily to the whole world on Social Media.
In a sane country, people would be ashamed to admit they fed their kids this crap every day.
Maybe schools should require home economics, personal finance and civics for all to graduate HS?
Agreed – with ONE caveat… Middle School. High school is far too late to instill ‘good habits’.
Oh my goodness that’s horrible food! For her kids. Yikes. How about showing what $100 of veggies, fruit and lean meat and eggs looks like. That’s just gag worthy that she feeds her kids that garbage.
Dear all the other countries,
Yes, she is fat and lazy and she not represents all of us.
The rest of us would never spend $115 at any supermarket and come home with that crap. We ARE making it because we do not buy or eat crap.

Frontrunners emerge as Iranian officials discuss possible successors to Khamenei: report
Multiple frontrunners are emerging to succeed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as the 86-year-old has gone into hiding during Israel and the United States’ joint military campaign against the Islamic Republic, a report said.
A three-man committee appointed by Khamenei to identify his successor has ramped up its activity in recent days following repeated waves of airstrikes targeting Iran’s nuclear program, Reuters reported, citing five sources with knowledge of the discussions.
Two names rising to the top of the list are Mojtaba Khamenei – the ayatollah’s 56-year-old son who was sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Department in 2019 – and Hassan Khomeini, the 53-year-old grandson of Ruhollah Khomeini, the architect of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, according to the sources.
Khamenei is sheltering right now in a bunker and has suspended all electronic communications with his commanders, according to the New York Times.

Iran’s military might have something to say about the Islamists staying in power after the embarrassment they caused to Iran.

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to allow the Trump Admin to resume deportation of illegal immigrants to third-party countries

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has ruled 6-3 to allow the Trump Administration to resume deportation of illegal immigrants to third-party countries willing to accept them, such as Sudan, without requiring extensive notice beforehand.
Good! If we can’t kick out people who break in, then we have no border. And if we have no border, we have no country.

Seems so many have forgot that Expedited Removal of Illegals was a part of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 signed into law by Bill Clinton in 1996 It passed the Senate 72 to 27 and passed the House 278 to 176.
Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) (1996) https://immigrationhistory.org/item/1996-illegal-immigration-reform-and-immigrant-responsibility-act/
And somehow the 3 usual dissenters need to be removed due to incompetence and their inability to separate their personal biases from constitutional law.
Bravo! A win that could have easily become a loss. I am happy that brave young fellow took the gangster thug down hard, and came away unscathed.
I don’t like Mark Levin even before TRUMP, but I agree with him on MTG. She is a NITWIT! This is the time to rally around TRUMP not side against him and to do it with MESSED UP MASSIE! A Big mistake on her part. MTG is worried only about herself right now. She doesn’t know which way the political winds will blow so she decided to go the with the opposition on IRAN (she must like the idea of IRAN with NUKES) I will no longer consider MTG a Maga loyalist she’s just a BIGMOUTH GRIFTER!
THANK-YOU PDJT for tempting to rid the THREAT from a nuclear IRAN and trying to secure a safer FUTURE for the world!
I don’t think she is very bright. She sure misread this situation.
What did she do this time? She is always in front of the cameras or posting her opinions on something.
MTG is a Loudmouth.
She’s smart, but like many loudmouths, she frequently opens her mouth and spews before she has all the facts, or has given things a moment for the dust to settle.
She just needs to stand back and watch a bit before forming an opinion.
MTG has egg on her face. She owes her constituents a big, public apology for her stupidity.
I believe she was pissed about sunsetting AI in the states for ten years with no one to stop it. A big win for big tech. I might be missing something here, but that was her rant on Bannon.

🚨SCOTUS delivered Trump another victory earlier today while I was shopping with DS. This case concerned the removal of illegal aliens ordered removed to third countries, with SCOTUS staying injunction barring such removal. 1/
2/ Dissent again rests on not liking what Trump did and ignoring numerous jurisdictional issues. https://supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/24a1153_l5gm.pdf
3/ Beyond resolving issue of aliens in limbo in South Sudan, SCOTUS decision gives Trump & DHS ability to push more forcefully for voluntarily removals.
4/ “If you have a removal order & don’t self-deport, we will remove you and if we can’t remove you to your home country, we get to pick where you go.”

As an expat with a resident visa I had to self deport from Malaysia in 2014 when the extension I applied for, 3 months before my visa expired, got tied up in a new computerized system.
When it had not been extended the day before it expired I was told I must leave the country before expiry date or I would be illegal and never be allowed back.
I self deported and waited for a month to return when the renewal was finally issued.

BREAKING: Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) says she would consider becoming a Democrat.
She would accomplish this, in effect, by becoming Independent and caucusing with the Democrats, like Bernie Sanders.
Someone better start working on Fetterman.
She already caucuses with them and votes with them…
(remember several times she has been ‘whipped’ by a female Dim in the hall and ended up voting with them)
I’ll never understand why Trump doesn’t have the same level of scorn that he perennially has with Thomas Massie, with Looney Lindsey. I just don’t get it. If Graham ever gets defeated or thrown out of office, not only would South Carolina rejoice, but I think the whole civilized (and uncivilized) world would rejoice as well. People far removed from Looney Linds’ antics would click their heels like Dorothy.
Trump should aim his targets elsewhere.
Possibly just the difference between House and Senate when it comes down to voting.
Sen. Graham is a senior senator who sits on the Senate Budget (Chairman), Judiciary, and Appropriations Committees.
Only takes a vote or two in the Senate to sink an agenda and Graham is positioned to do just that. President Trump, unfortunately, has to tread lightly with GOPe senators.
Rep. Massie doesn’t seem to be on any of the budget or appropriations committees; just judiciary.

are working with Democratic Senators and the New York Times to boycott the Kennedy Center, refusing to perform for audience members who don’t share their personal politics, and cosplay as victims of intolerance.
I cannot begin to understand what business it is of Mr. Seller or Mr. Miranda how audience members vote or how it could possibly be relevant to the sacred relationship between performers and ticket holders, but they’ve made it clear that they won’t perform for audiences that might contain Americans who disagree with them on matters irrelevant to the arts.

“Sorry, you don’t have the ability to overrule SCOTUS.”
Maybe this will prompt the SCOTUS to get their butts in gear and do something about these judges overruling the POTUS now that’s happened to them directly. This clown has placed himself above the President AND the SCOTUS.

Mamdani co-founded Bowdoin’s Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapter. SJP is a Neville Singham (CCP) funded group. He was present in Cairo for the 2011 Egyptian revolution. In a Bowdoin op-ed, he implies that he took part in the protests which installed al-Sisi.
He fervently believes that the “democratic revolution” was hijacked.
In his SJP capacity, he led a campaign to get Bowdoin to boycott all Israeli academic institutions.
