Why the swamp MUST be drained!
“You can always point a finger at a specific agency or person, but the reality is that as the government gets bigger and bigger, more and more fiefdoms will emerge within it, and those groups will fight for their own interests at the expense of everyone else.“

The Iron Law of Oligarchy
The Iron Law of Oligarchy is a political theory first developed by the German-born Italian sociologist Robert Michels in his 1911 book Political Parties. It asserts that rule by an elite, or oligarchy, is inevitable as an “iron law” within any democratic organization as part of the “tactical and technical necessities” of the organization.
Michels’ theory states that all complex organizations, regardless of how democratic they are when started, eventually develop into oligarchies. Michels observed that since no sufficiently large and complex organization can function purely as a direct democracy, power within an organization will always get delegated to individuals within that group, elected or otherwise. As he put it in Political Parties, “It is organization which gives dominion of the elected over the electors. […] Who says organization, says oligarchy.”
According to Michels, all organizations eventually come to be run by a leadership class who often function as paid administrators, executives, spokespersons, or political strategists for the organization. Far from being servants of the masses, Michels argues, this leadership class, rather than the organization’s membership, will inevitably grow to dominate the organization’s power structures.
All of these mechanisms can be used to strongly influence the outcome of any decisions made “democratically” by members. In 1911, using anecdotes from the histories of political parties and trade unions struggling to operate democratically, Michels applied his argument to representative democracy at large. He believed that “[h]istorical evolution mocks all the prophylactic measures that have been adopted for the prevention of oligarchy.
Prophylactic measures like this attempt:
“But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself.“ – James Madison in Federalist 51 titled “The Structure of the Government Must Furnish the Proper Checks and Balances Between the Different Departments”
Cue stereotypical auto mechanic voice: “That last part, there’s your problem, lady!”
ALL corrupted by MONEY and a perceived threat of blackmail.
Is human society by nature oligarchical?
Grok 3 AI (excerpt):
Yes, human society has almost always been oligarchical in practice, and there are strong structural reasons why it tends to revert to oligarchy even when it starts with egalitarian or democratic intentions.
Historical Pattern
Virtually every known society, once it exceeds a few hundred people, ends up being ruled by a relatively small elite:
– Hunter-gatherer bands were fairly egalitarian, but they were tiny (rarely >150 people) and had high violence and strong social enforcement against dominance.
– As soon as agriculture appears (~10,000 BCE onward), you get chiefs, kings, priests, warrior castes, and landed aristocracies.
– Classical city-states (Athens, Rome) that experimented with democracy still restricted full citizenship to a minority (adult male citizens) and were usually dominated by wealthy families.
– Medieval Europe: feudal lords.
– Early modern Europe: monarchs + nobility + rising merchant oligarchs.
– Modern “democracies”: formal power is spread, but effective power concentrates in political machines, donor classes, senior civil servants, corporate boards, media owners, tech platforms, intelligence agencies, and military-industrial complexes.
Even revolutions that explicitly aim to destroy oligarchy (French Revolution, Russian Revolution, Chinese Revolution) very quickly produce new oligarchies (Directory → Napoleon, Bolshevik vanguard → nomenklatura, CCP revolutionary veterans → today’s princelings and billionaires).
Please, this is all about “democracy,” rule by a majority of “ONE” Very easy to get. Anyone who gets suckered into preferring “democracy” — another shiny object — never thinks about rights and privileges for all “minorities” as well as “no taxation without representation.”
The only political system that can work is a Constitutional, Representative Republic, as long as you can keep it. This why the American Revolution is very special.
And the only way to keep it is to have controls on economic/business/corporate monopolies and accumulation of wealth. Every contributor to that wealth must share in the profits, not just the owners. And owners may not engage in restraint of trade or other corrupt practices.
Europeans always get stuck in paternalism or some version of authoritarianism, even if it is “the people’s democracy.”
Please explain to me how a representative constitutional Republic should picks their representatives.
Like the Articles of Confederation an elite group of citizens that chose for everybody? Or maybe a government board or tribunal? I have heard some Republics, which means ‘not ruled by a monarch, especially an inherited monarch’, use a system called free and fair elections to pick their representatives often called democracy Now in the USA is this a pure democracy? Or is it a limited democracy, meaning there is also a system of checks and balances like the Bill.of Rights and the electoral college, often called a limited democracy? I am very interested in your explanations because I know a Republic can be a theocracy like Iran or a Republic like China too, both dictatorships. Should we become a Dictatorship so we avoid the evils of democracy, even if it is limited democracy? Is that preferable to you?
Explains the EU & Uk to a tee.
What is not mentioned in these comments above is that the US government, despite what naysayers say, was founded on a faith in the Creator as the supreme source of wisdom and optimization of individual growth and charater, as well as economic productivity.
The degree to which every person is seeking to serve the creator by living to reflect His glory, and His service to every citizen — is the degree to which the democracy or constitutional republic will auto correct itself and fight against the greed and power that corrupts any society.
The attitude of Washington, the Father of the country, about his power, authority, and purpose will go farther in leading as an example to how we should all be. The assumption of service to God as a guide to service to others, and sacrificial purpose was foundational to the principles of our Great Experiment of Faith — our constitutional republic.
This is the reason that Washington was careful to minimize the accolades and authority the people were trying to hand him. The reason that Franklin was worried that we had a Republic “if we could keep it”, the reason that Jefferson wanted to ensure the education and wisdom of We the People.
Falsified History is also propaganda.

Hobby Lobby has had dueling holidays going on since August.
In fairness to Hobby Lobby, their customers include crafters who spend time ahead of Christmas making decorations etc
Crafters don’t make Christmas items in November.
and no more click bait nothing burgers.
That is your hill to die on?
Goor morning America, how are ya?!
Doing outstanding, thank you!
Very very goor here.
dontcha know me, i’m your native son
sorry i couldn’t help myself. 😉
CCR one line in a favorite-“just got back from Illinois…locked the front door…” back to the city of New Orleans…how many sacks of mail? I forget that- but not Kankakee…!
Arlo Guthrie’s version is much better………sorry
They are all corrupt….
The entire Clinton cabal played this game, which is how Chicoms ended up with Aegis.
Trump’s $2000 “tariff dividend” isn’t because he’s such a nice guy. He doesn’t even know if SCOTUS will rule in his favor. I think… they are worried about a deflationary contraction in 2026 because a lot of highly paid people are going to be paid nothing.
Good. Please pound DC housing by eliminating roles and moving departments. Get rid of our Hunger Games Capitol.
i 1000% endorse your sentiment, but i think the poster is talking about white collar jobs, not necessarily gov.
in the grand scheme of things they have failed to eliminate many at all. heck, the CR we were all told was good for america was finally passed because they let all the scumbag feds back on the payroll. that was their main negotiating carrot they won…
The white collar jobs in DC are govt or govt contracting. All grifting.
Correct. I am a native swamp dweller. All my friends either have cushy gov jobs where they make way too much money to do nothing, or they have govcon jobs where they make waaaaayyyy too much money and don’t work nearly as hard as I do. Beyond frustrating.
again, talking outside of that at a much larger scale (every job category but service sector is getting obliterated by layoffs) but yes. when you drive down that corridor from the imperial palaces on the potomac to Dulles, the opulence and pretend money is stunning. its crazier than silicon valley
I heard Verizon is planning 13,000 layoffs.
Indians. They let one in near the top.
The H1B invasion needs to stop.
It’s disgusting.
“Tariffs” are a very-routine Cost Of Goods Sold (COGS) element in international trade. We pay a lot of them, especially to Europe. We ought to have been charging a commensurate amount, but for many decades we left money on the table. Other countries were happy to let us be stupid.
But, it does not make sense to take tariff revenue and write checks to the American people with it. Much better to take that money and use it to build new factories and supply chains to cut our dependency on places like China. Put the money to work, sending American people back to work, working for their own country for a change.
what makes sense to me is to transition us back OFF of income taxes in favor of tariffs. that would leave me with a CHOICE of what goods and services to buy, based on cost. if i want that fancy euro sports car, giddy up – it’ll cost twice as much.
though, at this stage, short of trump having a couple more terms and a super majority in congress, there is virtually no chance of that happening. we’re just too far gone.
This is where I hoped we were headed. Tariffs and national sales tax. Let the people decide which taxes they preferred to pay. None of this BS taking it from our damn paychecks and creating BS like USAID and pissing our money away over seas only to have it kicked back to the corrupt politicians.
I don’t understand why everyone does not see it the same way.
yeah, the reality is that it would take many years – probably decades to shift back to that sort of economy. and to do so, you also can’t blast the tariffs so willy nilly as has been done to this point, or use it as punishment and sanctions.
The MO Governor Kehoe is talking about eliminating income taxes; from the reaction in St. Louis you’d think he’d recommended child slavery!
People have been accustomed to thinking that the government is entitled to a percentage of one’s earnings, or at least the earnings of those who make a certain amount, rather than thinking that workers are entitled to the fruits of their own labor/time/effort. The fruits of their LIVES.
And seem not to realize that how the fruits of people’s lives are treated affects how they choose to live their lives.
yup. while we are fantasizing about things that will never happen in the current configuration, let’s throw out property taxes, as well.
Agreed, I’m close to my end and property taxes and insurance are my road blocks.
I am for eliminating property taxes as well (which funds, schools, fire, police, and streets/roads). What do you suppose would be the best way to fund these local items? Some sort of sales tax?
Streets, roads and bridges should be funded by the gasoline tax and tolls. But that money goes into the general fund to pay for everything but streets, roads and bridges.
Local streets get no funding from the state gasoline tax(at least in Missouri, unless said street is designated as a state highway
Yes, a fraction of a percent would work. Now, smaller communities might have an issue; so it would need to be county-based
It would depend on the county, and whether or not the county has a large city
Why do we always have to find new sources of funding….why can’t they live on a budget.
Property taxes mean you never really own your home. You just “rent” from the government. Try not paying and see how that works. A sales tax, with exemptions for food and medicine, seem better for funding. Trouble is government wants all three legs of a stool, income, property and sales tax. They cannot seem to limit themselves spending other people’s money on “good ideas.”
It would be a delight to never have to fill out another income tax form or gather the information for it.
The one thing DC can never allow is for the cost of living to be restored to before Biden jacked it up.
After robbing us with inflation, they never fix it with deflation.
Instead they seduce us with free things.
The affordability crisis is their weapon against us.

There was heavy coverage of Musk and Huang on X in conversation yesterday evenin saying AI will make all humankind wealthier than they ever could have been without it. 🙂
The principal is absurd. These people aren’t going to pay large dollars to non-contributors. They’re greedy as hell and setting up a tiny controlling group.
We call them tech bros, but their plan boils down to neo-feudalism.
They are also transhumanists, they think they are directing human evolution, with the absurd notion that human labor will have zero value.
Nope! They are just regressing back to the base and selfish tyranny that has plagued mankind throughout history. They do have a more technical cloak for it, so they can rationalize it and lie to themselves about their motives.
the phrase “Man makes plans and God laughs” comes to mind with the tech folks assumptions.
Because man sees what he is, not a clear perspective, as God sees. Greed sees only money or its equal, whatever occupies the focus. Hammer sees nails, analogy. It’s why God laughs, he is love. somewhere in our plans be it now or many years from now it will be turned to another form of slavery. We cannot escape our nature.
Be a good lesson for all of us, we cannot see the butterfly effect of our actions God must ordain and bless. “What the devil meant for harm God can turn to Good.”
Every forced and great invention has been another curse we created, AI is no different. You cannot dip a toe in the devils pool, he takes it all.
By the year 2000 we will all work 4 hours a week and have flying cars
As a young buck I once had a flying car.
It flew well once.
The landing left something to be desired.
The End.
In elementary school my Weekly Reader assured me and my classmates that flying automobiles were just over the horizon. That was over sixty years ago.
sync quoted Musk and Huang, “AI will make all humankind wealthier than they ever could have been without it. ” Well, whoop-ti-do.
Do they also know that no matter what AI does, everyone they are speaking to and who will be born before 2025 ends, is still going to die within 80 years or so?
AI has no long range relevance to the foundational facts.
My grandparents broke the sod in NE Montana with horses and single-bottom plows and never drove a car.
My parents dealt with WW I and WW II and the depression and thought telephones were an amazing help..
My siblings fought the Cold War and Korea and frequently went on international flights.
My nephews fought in Vietnam and learned how to use computers.
My great-nephews fought in Iraq.
Shakespeare’s description of what is so:
All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages.
AI is interesting and may be very destructive, but long range and “at the core” – it’s not changing the basics.
I decided two years ago to never again go in the house of one of my neighbors when I observed their goofy dependence on Alexa. But none of that changes the basics or foundations of my thinking.
After some testy arguments with AI platforms, I was able to extract this concession from Grok: “Outside of a handful of exceptions, most near-term corporate/government ‘AI cost savings’ are still just old-fashioned labor arbitrage with better marketing.”
Unfortunately, the invisible hand of Mr. Smith lives on in spirit if not incarnate, and as Grok freely admits, AI is cannibalizing itself while going into massive unsecured debt to do it. “Unsecured” is code for transfer of risk from private to public.
Adam Smith was influential on America’s formation.
But Capitalism hadn’t been invented yet.
Yes, the words capital and capitalist existed, but capitalism didn’t.
The term was invented by socialists to describe what they thought was wrong in the world.
It wasn’t until after communists took control of Russia that the concept was adopted by us to describe how good things are done in this world.
We reached back to people like Adam Smith to rewrite them as heroic capitalist theorists.
But both it’s enemies and it’s friends have a tendency to elevate capitalism to a theory of everything.
It is a system that uses tools to enable the use of capital in economic development.
Capitalism is nothing more than a free enterprise system that also existed in biblical times.
Thanks. I often think about Abraham as a capitalist. The principles were known and followed.
The Bible doesn’t get much into ships, but boats had to be a huge investment and a horribly big risk. (Thinking of Paul’s shipwrecks.)
Did you know coins weren’t invented until around 700 BC, somewhere in Turkey? People had weights of precious medal, but it took a king to standardize it and stamp his face on it.
I am also fascinated by the invention of corporations. Spain invested in exploration and got rich. But most European countries relied on rich men to invest and try to emulate Spain. It worked for privateers to enrich royalty, but it was difficult for settlements to succeed. The Virginia company finally enabled Brits to set up successful settlements. But the company itself went belly up. American colonies started by somebody gathering investors and helping them lose their investment.
“One Size Fits All.”
Nuclear power plants will make electricity too cheap to meter.
Sharon, I do believe that Alexa has been the cause of many not remembering where their light switches are…….SMH.
At least those who hadn’t already installed clap on/clap off devices. And I truly hated energy saving motion sensors always turning off the lights.
Vacation without pay!
Not even a retirement watch.
I’m on the DAD retirement plan: dead at desk.
Why all the bold and italics on your posts? All it is does is make them harder to read.
I think the bold and italics improve the readability.
You might think so, and you might think putting banners and emojis on text improve readability, but they do not.
Readability calls for using plain text except for the infrequent emphasis of a word. Italics are fine to denote a short quote but not long blocks of text. For long blocks quote marks work fine. All caps is just plain rude (yelling).
The basic issues are not everyone is reading from the same device/screen and not everyone’s eyes are the same. The goal is to former text in a way that is readable for the most people.
https://universaldesign.ie/communications-digital/web-and-mobile-accessibility/web-accessibility-techniques/content-providers-introduction-and-index/writing-accessible-text/style-to-maximise-readability
If you want to make something stand out, two good habits are to use short paragraphs and add headings. The headings can be in bold. Using mostly shorter sentences helps too.
One thing I’m grateful for is none of the “italics and bold” writers here are resorting to underlining (at least not yet).
Possibly so the reader can discern between the poster’s words and the words the poster is quoting?
Or did I inadvertently step into someone’s pie fight? 🙂
pretty sure it’s a pie fight.
It is helpful to keep in mind that there are readers here with vision / eyesight challenges.
These choices of all bold, all caps, and all italics are not normally used in printed form to the extent that these are being used by people here.
Just scroll past the scripts you either don’t want to read or can’t read.
I do scroll by. From now on I’ll save myself the time to read your posts as well — you left “time” out of what you thought was helpful advice, but maybe you have lots of it.
You focused on eyes (can’t read), but something else for you to consider is not everyone is reading on the same device/screen resolution.
You may not be aware, but good writing practices on any medium (including print) call for limited use of italics, bold, and all caps.
The point of my post is the information provided here is typically of high value and it would benefit everyone if more people could easily read it.
That’s what quote marks are for.
Re: wooden nickels, scams,

‘there is no invasion going on, at the border’

The missing link
You have to wonder if he was also providing answers for other puppets.
Of course he was
We expected to see a lot of *unexpected* dirt when these files were in the public domain, but beyond that, why does the VI even have representation in the US Congress? We’re getting to be like England, where every once a territory comes back to bite us.
All US territories have one, non-voting representative in the House of Representatives to look after/lobby for the interests of the territory. Fair enough. Guam, The Marianas and a couple others are there as well.
IMO they should not be sitting on committees – particularly the important ones like Intel. They want that much power and influence, they can become states.
If you think DC is corrupt don’t even think about the USVI.
I say this having lived there…
Plaskett was also the House Impeachment Manager for impeachment effort #2.
Today Powell will go before Congress and deliver his testimony on the state of the American economy as Fed chairs have done for decades.
Today gold will trade above $4,000.00 per ounce and silver above $50.00. No one will ask him why or what it means. The recent obsession with NVidia’s earnings seemed to be a distraction to turn the attention of the markets away from something else. What, I have no clue.
Everything is rigged. 🙁
I saw a clip of Michael Lewis on X yesterday being interviewed on 60 Minutes in 2014 saying in plain English “the stock market is rigged.”
It reminded me of the Virtu IPO filing in 2013 saying the company had only one losing day since 2009 (Grok it). Eleven years ago… no one in Congress asked about it then and… no one remembers it now.
Michael Lewis: https://x.com/StealthQE4/status/1990988367312408954
thanks sync. you mention the gold/silver prices, which infers the devaluation of fiats.
right now the strong push to drop interest rates further is to try and dislodge the housing market rut, but it is deeply counter-intuitive to what is supposed to happen, if the centralbanks were following their own logic. inflation is not under control, the dollar is devaluing rapidly and the buyers of more debt are not showing up, and we have made no attempt at all to get any of the spending under control and stop printing money.
i am not an economist, but i know that none of these are good signs. the entire west is backing itself into a catch22 of its own making.
Haggai 2
7 And I will shake all the nations, and they will come with the wealth of all nations, and I will fill this house with glory, says the Lord of Hosts. 8 The silver is mine, and the gold is Mine, says the Lord of Hosts. 9 The glory of this latter house will be greater than the former, says the Lord of Hosts. And in this place I will give peace, says the Lord of Hosts.
The Fed is suppressing housing to hurt PDT, quash family-building, kneecap the Middle Class and bring their Great Reset.
They have been suppressing silver forever, but just as God used Judas’ silver to trick the enemy, He will use it to collapse the Babylon Money System oppressing His People and especially the children, Amen!
Psalm 105:
37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
Not one means none, Lord!
The truest words ever written
The value of residential real estate isn’t going up.
The value of commodities isn’t going up.
The value of money is going down.
yet you have to pay income tax on the inflated ‘value’ (due to money being worth less (worthless? ) of your assets if sold for money of less value. And no elected official can be voted out of office for voting for a tax increase.
How about Tar and Feathering or one of those one size fits all neck ties?
Asking for a friend…
the value of the DOLLAR is going down
gold is the only true money
Why? Gold has essentially zero intrinsic value.
Gold is one of the best conductors of electricity.
All you have to do is invest in a S+P 500 index fund. Then its rigged in your favor. Trades are free nowadays, and even a few dollars can buy partial shares.
I’m just pointing it out. Might as well make some cash until PDJT and co. get us out of this British Imperial system.
The Dow Jones average was under 900 in about 1988. The Dow is now about FORTY FOUR THOUSAND. That is largely the result of devaluation of the dollars today, versus the dollars o 1988. Paying any tax (even so-called ‘capital gains’ tax) is theft of property without due process IMHO. Just unassailable facts. Would the Supreme Court admit that this is theft in violation of the Constitution?
Every stock index kicks out any company that goes belly up or is acquired.
“I saw a clip of Michael Lewis on X yesterday being interviewed on 60 Minutes in 2014 saying in plain English “the stock market is rigged.” ”
I first heard this in 1969, when I was in 8th grade.
Charlie Kirk’s assassination exposed flaws at UVU, security chief says | Fox News
Where have I heard that before? Oh–now I remember; It’s the old Pac-Man Perimeter Ploy, chief:
“Machine Gun” Cheatles and Homeland Security Investigations tried to pin their deliberate “failure” to guard the roof of the BlackRock Building on the local cops. But it was their murder plot.
I don’t know that I lay this on Harpole, although I’m sure some have already accused and convicted him of complicity.
The Deep State decided to kill Charlie, perhaps using Ukrainian troops like they did on Jan. 6th., to stop him from becoming president. Charlie certainly had Dictator Zelensky’s number–and therefore, the CIA’s.
In any event, he wasn’t shot from that rooftop, nor by any Furry Fan, either. It seems like they’re trying to retrofit Crooks into the same Furry Narrative.
God used the martyrdom of Stephen to spread His church throughout the world and to flip the terrorist Saul into the Apostle Paul. This is also Charlie’s destiny, to the Glory of God and the Kingdom of our King Jesus, Hallelujah!
Genesis 50:20
As for you, you thought evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring about that many people should be kept alive, as they are this day.
Rest in the Vine: Charlie and Destiny
If Harpole perceived avenues of exposure, why did he not act?
My purpose is not absolve him, but he says he took it to the proper authorities and they assured him they were dealing with it. Why did they not act?
The flaw was staging it at UVU in the first place. The place is run by State/CIA actors.
And Charlie was not shot from that rooftop. Perhaps another, but not that one.
IC decided to eliminate a likely future president while at the same time send a chilling message to MAGA, AF and PDJT.
1 Chronicles 11
9 So David kept on going, becoming greater and greater, and the Lord of Hosts was with him.
Chill not!
This is my belief as well. It was the threat of him being able to unify the masses in the future. He was a direct threat that was not afraid to speak to EVERY person.
Agree that Charlie was not shot from where Tyler Robinson was said to have been. Also agree that the location on the campus for the event was a very bad choice and that it was offered many opportunities for any entity intending to harm Charlie. An indoor location would have been easier to defend.
The entire communication stream starting with the germ of Charlie’s appearance extending through the event must be examined in detail. This includes telephone call records and all electronic / written comms.
Who from TPUSA, including the security team did a pre event scouting trip and when did it occur.
This is not an exhaustive list but addresses “Gipper’s” points.
Justice is not coming–Justice is HERE.
ALL will be exposed and Judged.
Praise God–really!
Hey! Good luck with THAT.
‘Luck’ derives from lucifer.
Be Blessed!
I listened to his interview. He’s a finger pointing unprofessional man. As a fellow executive I deal with his types of reasons from team members all the time. He had TERRIBLE controls over his processes.
Ok, so you sent a text message to the Chief of Police several days before the event and the Chief said “I’ve got you covered”. The proper control for that would have been to follow up the morning of the event and double check. THEN follow up again at the time of event to secure comfort.
Harpole then said he couldn’t fly drones over the venue due to airport rules. He then slipped up, and he knew it, when he mentioned that others were flying drones that day. He then claimed those aren’t the types of drones that are restricted. So, as an executive in charge of protecting human life, YOU SHOULD ALSO HAVE NON-RESTRICTED model drones as part of your KIT.
That guy did not help his reputation. Not saying he’s in on it, but I am saying he failed immensely that day. It’s that simple. And I’m sorry he’s going through tribulations, but he failed, plain and simple. And he is finger pointing, which is even worse in my view.
Thanks for that.
Thank you for a very clear assessment of this interview. I listened to it and initially felt very sorry for this man, as he was clearly distraught of Charlie’s death. But, as the interview continued, the finger pointing and the continual excuses started to get to me. I wondered if I was overreacting but he talked so much about his integrity and so little about his actual tactics!
I’ve also heard numerous people point out that he says he heard the shot and then a split second later saw Charlie get hit, but that defies the laws of physics and anyone who has spent any time around firearms knows it doesn’t happen in that order!
He may be defending himself from Candace. I believe she accused all of TPUSA and perhaps even Erica.
I had a similar reaction in the beginning, and sort of the same evolution as you. As the interview moved on, I got more and more annoyed the more he finger pointed. And he used some other weird language and comments that truly rubbed me the wrong way. He did further disservice to his business in my view.
There is an excellent analysis of the recent interview of Harpole by podcaster, Baron Colman, who is devoting considerable attention to the details and troubling aspects of the Kirk assassination.
I’ll give it a listen.
We know that Turning Point was targeted by the Deep State. That would presumably include infiltration, just like PDT’s administrations. Not saying this guy is that, but there may be some.
I listened to it, in its entirety, as well. I agree with your assessment. He struck me as a weak, excuse-finding, negligent individual. Several times he copped out that he “couldn’t break the law” – whatever that means, except that the tragedy was anyone’s responsibility but his.
There’s more to the engineered, calculated takeover of TPUSA.
George Webb addressed some of the detail in his video from last Sunday.
He exposed the Ukrainian operatives/snipers about a week or two after the incident.
Since I’ve yet to get caught up on the rest of this week’s episodes it’s impossible for me to speak to the new data.
My suspicion is that the entirety or most of the entirety of the Ukrainian involvement is about to bust wide open which may have something to do with those Ukrainians fleeing the Ukraine and Ellensky running around like a cockroach trying to buy asylum.
The whole Kirk incident/TPUSA hostile takeover fiasco is probably the best reason for why yet another round of the Shiny Epstein is currently being thrown out like a bucket of raw meat to a pack of wild animals.
Those Bannon emails are looking for cover, too, since they seem to read as though Bannon was in on it in some sort of way.
Remember, Bannon doing hours of interviews with Epstein? Or at least he said there were interviews.
George said Bannon would probably publish the “documentary” so that he (Bannon) comes out looking like a whistleblower.
Ian Carroll is all over that aspect, too.

Interesting…
Conspiracy theorist much?
Was the wounded rally attendee shot from behind?
I didn’t know there was one. source?
Just looking at your Butler rally overhead picture. The bleachers where the “wounded rally attendee” is shown is between the Trump platform and the ‘alleged’ shooter location. Facing the Trump stage means that the attendees backs were to the ‘alleged’ shooter roof position. Or am I misinterpreting the ovrhead picture locations?
1 dead 2 wounded at Butler besides Fall Guy Crooks. They were behind PDT.
No wounded in Utah that I know.
Two different assassination events……Although the subject appears to be Charlie Kirk, the map indicates the President Trump assassination attempt.
Yes, Dixie, the comparison was both rooftops left unguarded, even though I don’t think Charlie was shot from it.
I also believe PDT was shot from a window.
“White by Default?

There is not a day that goes by where I read the next thing and say, Holy S**t, how is this possible and we are being destroyed non stop from within.
Im shaking my head so much, my neck hurts!
Thank god these people are being arrested for their crimes or we would really be in trouble .
i assume you jest. 😉
all our neck hurt and online outrage will git er done, though…
Doesn’t matter which country they are in – they aren’t compatible with western civilizations.
People don’t study history. It’s not like this hasn’t happened in Europe before
They are taking it full storm in the US.
Recently Texas was in the news, now boasting 50 mosques, and two working Sharia courts.
But I have seen a video of Valerie Jarrett giving a graduation speech (Stanford? Berkeley?) from 1978 in which she explicitly stated that Islam coming along nicely in the US. I watched it several times, in shock that such a comment by a then public figure wasn’t bigger news.
Now it’s scrubbed from the internet.
Do you hear about the California co-workers who lovingly gave their new immigrant a baby shower … then were murdered? Do you hear about the child rape in Idaho … whose own family was forced to move due to official inertia? The strange new trend of stabbings?
This seems like it has just popped up, but it’s been brewing for decades.
She graduated from Stanford with a BA in psychology in 1978. Born in ’56. Got a JD from Michigan Law School in ’81.
She got the name Jarrett when she married in ’83. Her last name was Bowman in ’78. She was born in Iran to American parents.
She once said that her great grand father was Jewish. Implication that she wasn’t. But no claims of a religion or of atheism. And no external evidence of such worship. Doubtful that she is Islamic, Christian or Jewish.
She did do outreach to Muslims after Zero’s Cairo Speech.

And she has given lots of commencement talks. During and after her time in the White House.

It is not always easy….but try to find something each day to laugh and smile about……………you will feel much better.
I do admire your carvings . . .
Mike…much thanks .
Smoking the wood chips again, eh?
Haha – so true bjork.
Live your best life ☺️
Even laugh at yourself some, as it’s cathartic.
Artistic talent and skills amaze and befuddle me. Differential equations? No problem. Draw something that looks like something? Impossible for me.
Me, too. My nephew can sketch out a page from a graphic novel on the back of a napkin, “just like that.” Such a talented young man. (I hate him … 😉)
(But I can’t do “diffy-q’s,” either. So I guess I hate both of you. 😉😉 …)
I know you jest, Mike, but it was funny. 😎
Good morning bjorkdream. I love your carvings. So beautifully detailed and unique. ❤️❤️🙏
And yes, it is ok to laugh at things. 😁
Morning bjorkdream
😍 These are amazing. Such expression.
Love it. Thank you.
I do think the old saying that laughter is the best medicine, is probably true.
Have a joyful day.
Bjork, do you sell these carvings?
bshaw my son sells them on esty……wizardwood carvings shop..

I am going to, thank you!
you do a superb job daily
love your views on life and living
thank you

“The F-35 fighter jets under consideration for sale to Saudi Arabia will be delivered in a downgraded configuration compared to those operated by Israel, in accordance with longstanding U.S. policy to protect Israel’s qualitative military edge in the Middle East, Reuters reported Thursday, citing American officials and defense analysts.”
https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/international/americas/artc-us-to-sell-saudi-arabia-a-less-advanced-f-35-to-preserve-israel-s-military-edge-report

The world is hopelessly in debt in every imaginable form. Artificial intelligence is going to layer massive debts on top of existing debt expected to be => $400 trillion in 2026… debt service circa $20 trillion per year.
For perspective, global debt service in 2027 will be equal to the value of the entire extant supply of gold known to man from the beginning of time to present.
David Hunter describes the coming bust:
I can never get my head around the fact that all this debt is owed to scumbags who have been given the legal right to create digital cash out of thin air and to charge us all fee called the interest rate for exercising this enormous all controlling power.
We need more God.
But that’s exactly why it isn’t real. So, really, doesn’t matter.
The solution to 2008 like collapses was discovered long ago, and anyone with power know it. They just only use it if they absolutely have to, like in 2008.
Debt isn’t real, and really isn’t a problem. It’s just factual.
Dumb.
Debt is never a problem until your car and house are re-possessed because you cannot pay your debt.
But sovereign debt is a different animal. The two aren’t comparable.
Those nations with power can simply tell the debt holders to pound sand.
So in reality, debt doesn’t matter since everyone is in debt. What’s the point of worrying about it then?
Kinda sounds like MMT.
It hasn’t hurt us yet, (it never will), so we can do so much more.
But the people who argued for Modern Monetary Theory proved that they can make Bidenflation.
So it already is hurting us and will hurt us all much more when it collapses on us.
That was Dick Cheney’s view.
ONE trillion seconds is 32,000 years.

If people think that AI is going to replace lower paying jobs first. Think again. It is already being used in so many areas of medicine. There is about to be a bunch of people with advanced degrees in previously “safe” careers that will be replaced.
It’s coming for just about every service industry job. I’ve got 3 letters after my name, which represent my certification, and what I do can be done by AI. There are carve outs for sure, but millions of people with letters after their names are about to be in a bad spot.
Yep
All a ceo needs is a sharp guy to ask Grok sharp questions to get all the data he needs to manage his business.
It is genuinely scary.
Correct. Me and the CEO of my current company have been having these discussions. We have been able to identify every position in our firm as being susceptible to either AI or robotics. We literally could run the company with about 3 of us, and that’s only because you simply need the second and third person when one of the others wants to take a day off or gets sick.
It’s a very scary world we are looking at.
Uh huh … and your company won’t exist for very long, if you and your CEO make stupid decisions like that. 🤡
And of course, both of you actually know that . . .
What are you talking about? Did I say I was laying anyone off? No, smart guy, we simply ran the exercise to see who and what could be replaced.
Any executive who doesn’t run SWOT analysis regularly and forecast for the future are morons. But you knew that didn’t you???
Pilot is a monkey.
Copilot’s job is to feed the monkey.
So what do You think , these people think, the end game will be in their non stop quest for profits? Do they stop and think it will eventually affect their costumer base?. Then what? They figure it out as they go along, not too smart in my estimation.
Not to mention you will have a pretty pissed off society at that point. Of course the NWO folks will be quite happy as they sit back and replace people with machines and destroy most of the businesses that were utilized by the useless eaters. Have to add lastly…NWO folks don’t seem to remember history at all. We all know they won’t be ale to hide when the whole world is out for blood.
That’s what I was alluding to at the end of my post when I said, Idle time and hands will lead to a very angry population before the companies realize it is too late.
There’s a book titled Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut that was written in the early 1950’s that depicts this brave new future. For something that was written 75 years ago, he pretty much nail the AI era we are entering. The book is a good read, entertaining and even more interesting now that we are here.
Excellent book. Pity that few have read it.
Thanks, I’m going to check this out.
Thank you!

Honestly, it will be a death spiral. Jobs will be replaced by AI, and without those jobs, there will be less salaries, and then fewer people that can pay to get services, which will further put downward pressure for more AI to cut costs.
You will see increased calls for UBI as a result. Commies will love that. 99% of humanity will be considered redundant.
I simply do not believe any of that hype … nor should you. (Full disclosure: I’ve been in the computer software business all my life.)
Do you remember “Y2K?” As a consultant at that time, I can never forget it. There was never any truth to it, but plenty of people stoked the fires and pushed every fear-button they could find. I made a point of purchasing every “doomsday book” that I could find, knowing that they would be collectible someday, and they are. (I steadfastly refused to deceive any of my clients, and, after the fact, they widely spread the word that I had not. Free advertising.)
Likewise: “There is no ‘I’ in ‘AI!'” You don’t hear the things that are being published by recognized crypto and data scientists about the many [fatal …] vulnerabilities of this technology, and the danger of society wholesale adopting it … as, at the moment, many are doing. I published a link in a comment that I made a few days ago. These models are not “intelligent,” and in fact they cannot become so.
I agree.there is a lot of hype.
These ai models are overrated v the human brains ability to revolt against bullshit.
Trust me, I’ve gamed this all out. At some point the government will start taxing the AI used by companies, exactly as if they were employees. Those taxes will be used to pay FICA and UI and us peasants will have to live off of that.
My theory is though, as government tends to do, they will over tax the AI and smart business leaders will begin to see that hiring humans is actually cheaper, because the pendulum will have swung too far.
But it won’t be easy to bring non-working humans back into the workforce. I also think most likely, due to all the idle time and hands, society will most likely have revolted by the time they realize the pendulum needed to swing back.
When I was a young and dumb apprentice construction worker half a century ago off-shoring was just taking off. I thought I safe because my job couldn’t be shipped out.
Silly boy. They simply on-shored cheap labor from outside the US of A.
AI I suspect is highly overrated unless someone invents the platinum-sponge positronic brain.
AI has never been right yet!
You’d have better chances with a Pharma bought and paid for, Obama controlled, Doctor.

Missouri is trying to take on Chyna. I am hoping the ultimate goal is to take land the ChiComs own as payment of debt
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri has escalated its attempt to seize Chinese government-owned property across the United States, asking the Trump administration for help collecting on a roughly $25 billion court judgment related to the COVID-19 pandemic that Beijing has flatly rejected.
Missouri has asked the U.S. State Department to formally notify China that the state intends to pursue assets with full or partial Chinese government ownership to satisfy the judgment, state Attorney General Catherine Hanaway said Wednesday.
The move stems from a lawsuit alleging China hoarded personal protective equipment during the early months of the pandemic, harming Missouri and its residents. A federal judge ruled for Missouri earlier this year after China declined to participate in the trial, calling the lawsuit “ very absurd ” when it was filed in 2020.

H1B, Epstein & Attacks on MTG & Massie: Has Trump Lost MAGA’s Support? w/ Mark Mitchell (Rasmussen Reports), Elaine Culotti, Joel Kotkin & Emilie Hagen – Ask Dr. Drew (1:18:26)
Nov 19, 2025
But the situation that we really have is that people have been squeezed out of the housing market. They can’t afford to start families. People under 50 really have it hard. I mean, we have polling that shows that it’s only in the 20s, the percent of people who think today’s children will be better off than their parents. People under 40 think that the housing crisis has reached crisis levels. And you see these reports coming out like right around [the recent] election day, too. Through the National Association of Realtors, first-time home buyer, age 40 41 years, over 40 for the very first time. So, our economy is asking young people to get out of college [with student loan caused inflated debt] and work for 18 years before they can even get into a house. How are we going to get to replacement levels of procreation here? Like, this is catastrophic for the future of the country and the dollar and nobody’s really addressing it. And then you have Trump talking about turkey prices. That’s not adequate. They don’t want a 30 cent cut in gas prices. It’s not really going to address the fundamental aspects of this. We kind of [not “kind of’] have a ruling party Uniparty kleptocracy/oligarchy that has squeezed a lot out of the American middle class. And so my advice to them was listen if you don’t fix this as a Republican the Democrats are drifting towards democratic socialism. Even the under 40 voters that voted for Trump, there’s a lot of polling that shows they have a lot of socialistic tendencies. And if the right doesn’t have an answer for it, the left does. They will get Democrat socialists into office. And they’re going to pass things like massive $10 trillion bipartisan housing crisis bills that will probably appease a lot of younger voters, but they’ll probably also, you know, raid the Treasury and collapse the dollar and create even more inflation.

So sorry, WAY TOO LATE to successfully address this even if the needed action, fundamentally changing our money as debt fiat monetary system was even possible which it isn’t. It would not be allowed and the vast majority of people don’t understand how it works anyway.
We’re in the final blowout stage of this system, the unavoidable fatal mechanism involved in its eventual self-destruction described in this video. NOT nutjob stuff. The video is 100% correct.
“It was Henry Ford who said in substance this: ‘It is perhaps well enough that the people of the nation do not know or understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning’.” – Charles Binderup, 19 March 1937, in the House of Representatives (Congressional Record—House 81:2528).

Glad to see PDJT going hard after the 6 dems who made that cringe video about not following lawful orders. Yesterday, Megan Kelly and Buck Sexton discussed this issue and posited that once the dems take over the house (questionable, but then again SD stated the gop will never win another election), they will do another sham investigation with the intent to put PDJT in jail for vaporizing the drug boats.
This is really bad, and Dangerous to our Country. Their words cannot be allowed to stand. SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS!!! LOCK THEM UP??? President DJT

SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!

The Epstein debacle is boomeranging on them and they need a distraction to cause more chaos.
As always, they go after PDJT for their own actions.
As we saw with PDJT’s first term, the Russia, Russia hoax was actually an alleged reflection/deflection of their own alledged illegal activities. There are many more people that are being investigated for conspiracies in the previous Administration. If there is enough evidence of seditious conspiracy, it could well go before a military tribunal.
Does it make sense now?
.
Easy picking is the senator from AZ, Kelly. He’s retired military. When retired, you are still in the service. You’ve just been placed on the retired list from the active list. He is subject to being returned to active duty. And he should be so he can be Courts Martialed and made to defend his seditious statement.
I must add that no one in this Administration has the balls to do it.
He’s still on active duty for the Cartels.
If a girl had a wish, this would be it!
Kello*g….relic of Cold war..russophobe to hilt…will finally retire.. ..will he take his Kyiv’s lover NGO daughter too ????
Absolutely horrible for Arizona…A senator who is a demented space cadet…

Teachers conditioning children to be trans.
And we see it today, as people insist over and over that “MAGA is fracturing.”
It is very important that “MAGA” must mean more than “an acronym on a red hat.” It must become a fundamental thing that America and Americans do with regard to everything they do and negotiate. Because, if we don’t do it, absolutely no one else on earth ever will. (And, why on earth should they?)
Every person at that negotiating table is understood to be placing their country first. With that as the implicitly-understood ground rules, let the compromises begin.

I see what you said in your post everyday in my grandkids. The parents of 3 of them have taken the tablet away and in short order the kids are reading, coloring, trying to play instruments, riding a bike, etc. All the things we used to do because we never had one.
I found “Peter and the Wolf” narrated by Arthur Godfrey on YouTube yesterday. I’m going to try to get the kids to listen to it. We had it on a 10″ 78 in the late 50s and listened to it on our portable record player. We loved it and I hope the little guys will, too. I’m 75, by the way.
We had “Peter and the Wolf” on vinyl too, and I loved the jacket when I was a kid.
A few months back, POTUS issued revised instructions enforcing a law that requires full disclosure of adverse effects in drug commercials. I do not see this happening in the commercials I watch on TV. I’m wondering why this hasn’t been implemented yet?
Then ban those weird drug names!
Simple solution: Ban public advertising of all prescription drugs. Exactly as was once done for tobacco products.
I’ve seen happy-people ads for dangerous drugs which have “black-box warnings.” (Which means that patients died during clinical trials.)
The commercials I am seeing are listing HUGE lists of side effects and dangers… far more than they used to.
Personally, I think they should be banned completely.
P.S. in the time it took me to type this there have been two drug commercials with majority of time spent listing the side effects and risks.
Does the Federal Government still use the term

Hmmmm, from the article.
The Supreme Court heard that withdrawing the 11-year-old girl from RE and worship would have left her “stigmatised” – because, for example, she would have been the only pupil in her class not to take part.
Hmmmm, so in the not so distant future, when there is a lone 11 year old girl from in the opposite scenario who would be “stigmatised”, I trust by there courts would rule in her favor.
Of course not, because then every court would be sha…… courts.
But of course!! 😎
(There are already 86 Sharia Courts (at least) operating side by side with British Courts.)
Did you know there are all female sharia courts who deal with family matters and also “dish out” brutal punishments. The females must be as uncivilized as the men.

Spare Me The ‘Not Enough Americans’ Trope
2025-11-20 by Karl Denninger
Excerpt:
There are almost 103 million such Americans who are not in the labor force. We shall subtract all of those over 65, or 60 million of said Americans which overstates the ineligible persons because some are institutionalized thus they don’t count in that 103 million and they’re also over 65. That is, I’m being deliberately pessimistic as to the number of available people to work.
That leaves 43 million Americans who are not institutionalized, not over 65 and not in the labor force — meaning they are neither looking for work or employed.
So please explain to me why it is that we need any H-1b persons other than perhaps those with advanced degrees (not entry-level at anything) and why we need any persons doing manual labor of any sort such as farm labor, construction and similar.
There are 43 million Americans, by the government’s own data, available to do all of this work. May I in addition point out that 25 years ago there were only 70 million not-in-labor-force persons under the same definition.

American Workers Lose Out to [Imported] Foreign Workers (5:02)
Stefan Molyneux
Nov 20, 2025
https://x.com/RadioGenoa/status/1991060630485545095?t=6MvWoNiG8pr23R1GRceF-A&s=19
Former Army Ranger Jason Crow, now a Democrat Member of Congress from Colorado, appeared on FOX News on November 19, 2025 to defend the video showing several Democrats urging members of the military to not follow “illegal orders.” When challenged to provide examples of illegal orders, Crow brought up the January 6, 2021 “insurrection” and the time in 2020 when a George Floyd riot got out of control in DC prompting the Secret Service to place the Trump family in the White House bunker. Trump inquired whether shooting to wound rioters would be a response to the riot boiling over, such as “shooting them in the leg.” Let’s look at these “reasons” for encouraging members of the military, at least as long as a Republican is President, should question the orders they receive.
The easiest is the “insurrection” argument since the Democrats’ own Special Counsel, Jack Smith, did NOT have Trump indicted under the “Rebellion and Insurrection Act,” but a trio of white collar crime federal statutes:
18 USC 371–The Federal Contractor Anti-Fraud Statute
18 USC 241–The Anti Ku Klux Klan Stature passed in the late 1800s.
18 USC 1512–The main “obstruction” statute preferred by the Lawfare set.
In the meantime, the Rebellion and Insurrection Act (18 USC 2383) has nothing to do with white collar crime, nor does it mention obstruction or fraud:
“Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.”
Why didn’t Jack Smith indict Trump for violating the above statute? Obviously, Smith’s investigation never achieved PROBABLE CAUSE that Trump committed “insurrection,” so Smith turned to other statutes, none of which apply to any of the descriptions of the allegations against Trump contained in the body of Smith’s indictment. There is no other explanation for 18 USC 2383 not being a count in the indictment except that Smith had insufficient evidence to achieve probable cause and obtain a True Bill of Indictment.
In light of this, Crow can’t cite the empty charge of “insurrection” found in the second impeachment of Trump since a Special Counsel could not reach probable cause to charge Trump with violating 18 USC 2383 and the Senate acquitted Trump, finding him not guilty of the charge of “insurrection.”
As to the “shooting in the leg” allegation, even if Trump asked the question if the shooting of rioters in the leg was a legal or acceptable solution to the threat of the rioters overrunning the White House there is nothing illegal about a President inquiring of a knowledgeable advisor if any course of action is legal or illegal. This is one reason Presidents have advisors. As long as the President does not issue such an order, after being advised the order would be illegal, the President committed no violation of law.
If these are the reasons for producing this “commercial,” they are not relevant to the very real question of what US service personnel are expected to do when receiving orders they think might be illegal or unconstitutional. Actually, some of the defenders of this commercial state that some service members have made inquiries about such contingencies of Judge Advocate General’s office attorneys. This is one method of resolving such concerns of which all service members have been trained. Therefore, it appears that US military training has already resolved the matter, so these politicians had no reasons to raise the issue.
Good info GJ. Thanks!
I remember receiving Geneva Convention training in basic training (this was decades ago) and then annually thereafter. Maybe the Services don’t do it anymore but I wouldn’t think so . What do to if you thought an unlawful order was given was always discussed. As to “shooting in the leg.” Maiming is strictly prohibited by the Geneva Convention, and especially if directed at civilians. I bet most service members would know this.
Every public action resulting from the mass psychosis known as TDS is more heart-stopping than the one before. This outrageous ad stopped my heart for a minute and it should be shocking to every American.
Are you guys ready for a dose of sunshine….🌞

As I and many posters (the older ones I suspect) have been pointing out repeatedly, the Mid-Terms are a long way out so predicting the result now is a fools errand. The actions Trump took in the first few months are what will decide the result, but their effect won’t be felt fully for some time. The Uni-Party are so used to reactive politics they’ve forgotten, or chosen to forget, how effective pro-active measures are, based on a leader whose convictions are grounded in real-world experience and an understanding, and love of, the country they govern.
Team Trump have planned for four+ years each stage, each phase, of, this administration’s progress, with numerous contingency options available, thanks to extensive analysis of the DS threat response mechanisms, especially its Uniparty activation tactics and over-reliance on Lawfare, coupled with MSM misinformation campaigns.
Expect more good news as the small gears of the plan, that have largely gone unnoticed or deliberately been concealed, start to mesh together at an accelerating, delivering ‘surprising news, that ‘beats expectations’ at an increasing frequency, especially on the economy.
Sanctions
“While the shipments did not breach New Zealand’s ban on Russian oil – because refined fuels were not legally considered Russian – experts warned the loophole undermined global efforts to curb one of Moscow’s most important revenue streams.”

Never forget the lies…and the consequences of them.
One thing I don’t understand about the bill just passed in Congress and signed by PDJT about making DOJ release their Epstein documents is, if those docs are so important for DOJ to release, then why not release them publicly instead of DOJ having to give them to Congress first? Is purpose of giving them to Congress instead of giving them straight to the public to ensure that Congress can redact out all mention of themselves and their big supporters before the public sees them? Might that go hand-in-hand with not requiring non-DOJ agencies to also release whatever they have?
“The Largest Funder of Al-Shabaab Is the Minnesota Taxpayer”
Excerpt:
Perhaps the most surprising aspect of the Somalia fraud story is the scale, with total costs running into the billions of taxpayer dollars. That raises the question: What happened to all that money?
The Somali fraud rings have sent huge sums in remittances, or money transfers, from Minnesota to Somalia. According to reports, an estimated 40 percent of households in Somalia get remittances from abroad. In 2023 alone, the Somali diaspora sent back $1.7 billion—more than the Somali government’s budget for that year.
Our investigation reveals, for the first time, that some of this money has been directed to an even more troubling destination: the al-Qaida-linked Islamic terror group Al-Shabaab.

Read this morning, been following Scott Johnson, Powerline blog for months. Walz and Ellison seem to be up to their necks along with the Somalis in these MILLIONS of $$$ fraud!
They both probably have some of the money in their pockets.
Up to their necks in terrorism as well…
