Kamala Harris is a terrible candidate. The only way that Pres. Trump loses is if there is another fraudulent election (they are already working on that), or they greatly escalate our involvement in a wider war. They are quite skilled in both of those areas.
If/when Pres. Trump wins, will they hand over power? Big question…
Pres. Trump will go down in history as a great American patriot. Yet he has twice been frivolously impeached while he was President, he has been the subject of investigated hoaxes before and while he was President, he has been charged with frivolous lawsuits in a fruitless effort to jail him, he has lost a substantial amount of his net worth, he has been shot at and dodged a second attempt to assa*inate him, and he has risked his life and his family’s safety for the USA. He didn’t even take a salary as President, while Obama and Biden greatly enriched themselves while in office.

“Since the moment we all first heard about what’s going on in Springfield, Ohio, those of us who are not brainwashed by the mainstream media, realize that there was something extremely nefarious happening there.
So let’s talk about Springfield, Ohio, Ohio, First Diversity Staffing, George “King” Ten, Mayor Rue and an organization called National Youth Advocate Program.
So here’s how it goes, Ten, runs a coyote operation. As soon as Haitians enters Springfield Ohio, they end up working through his staffing company. He operates a complex network of transportation, housing, and temporary work, which pays very low wages, and he takes a cut from everything. the migrants live in slums and rents very high fees to either the government vouchers or direct payments from the Haitians.
He conducts this operation across multiple states and so far no one has even tried to do an investigation into this guy.
I’m linking an article that has an independent journalist who actually spoke to some of the Haitians, who would only speak under the conditions of anonymity for fear of retaliation.
The majority of Haitians in Springfield are not actually here under the refugee status. They are here under the temporary protective status sponsorship loophole, which is a way for traffickers such as Ten to traffic in slave labor. It’s no wonder the parole actually had glaring fraud. We up to 3000 people sponsored by the same person, who had no valid address.
The fake Republican, who is the mayor of Springfield owns a rental property company that is shady AF. He has gotten hard deals that landed him with the ownership of a funeral parlor to extremely kind county appraisals that have been paying basically pennies on the dollar and property tax and now we know that he’s also renting to Haitian migrants. Government voucher programs pay fair market value and monthly expenses meaning that us housing costs increase in the area, so does the amount that is paid out. The mayor actually is in charge of a commission on handling the micro crisis in the city so him making a profit off. These kinds of decisions crosses into extremely unethical conduct.
As if that’s not bad enough, it doesn’t end there because entering the nonprofits such as the national youth advocate program which according to USASpending has received 100,000,000 dollars so far. What are they doing for that amount of money, we have no idea, but independent investigators of compiled additional data from other databases that show that that amount is actually going to increase to 300,000,000 dollars.

The CEO and President of this not for profit has taken in 1,169,468 dollars in 2022. What has she done with this money? While she has amassed quite a large real estate portfolio, which she uses to get more federal funding for more migrants.
NYAP operates in West Virginia, Indiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Illinois, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Nevada. And that is just one not for profit group. There are many others.
You would think the federal government, like the FBI would actually be investigating these things but no, they’re too busy investigating fake bomb threats that were probably digitally sent by our own intelligence agencies.
This is the biggest scandal in American history. And it’s a feature not a bug. How is no one talking about this?”
This is what’s happening on a much larger scale with the illegals. The NGOs get rich off govt cash, which they launder back to the politicians thru donations and other ways, such as jobs for their family members.
“Ever wonder how politicians get so rich? They funnel billions into NGOs where their families work and who pay them to speak and to serve on boards. The $24 billion California spent on the homeless crisis went almost exclusively to NGOs who rely on a steady stream of homeless people to justify their existence. The more people homeless the more they make. The incentives are perverse.”

“Bloodbath in Gerritsen Beach Brooklyn NY : Sources Claim Migrants Behind Brutal Slashing Attack🚨
Gerritsen Beach was rocked by violence this morning after six people were viciously slashed in a terrifying attack that unfolded after a party. Witnesses reported seeing multiple individuals chased through the streets and attacked with blades, leaving deep wounds across their faces, necks, and arms.
Blood stains were left throughout the neighborhood, marking cars, sidewalks, and doorways as evidence of the chaos. “It was like something out of a nightmare,” said one shocked resident. “They were running, but they couldn’t escape in time.”
The incident has drawn attention to a local house that has been the center of neighborhood concern for months. According to residents, the house is home to a group of migrants—around 30 people, including 15 children—and has been the source of frequent disturbances since they moved in. Neighbors say complaints have been made to authorities, including the Administration for Children’s Services (ACS), due to concerns about the children and ongoing domestic issues.
“This place has caused nothing but problems,” one neighbor said. “We’ve been reporting disturbances and fights for a while, and now it’s come to this.”
In addition to the escalating violence, neighbors have also alleged that some individuals from the residence have been stealing packages off their doorsteps. “It’s been happening for a while,” one resident claimed. “We see them on the security cameras taking deliveries right off people’s porches.”
Tensions have been further heightened by allegations that some individuals from the residence may have been involved in previous shoplifting incidents in Queens. Neighbors also allege that stolen goods may have been stored at the house. “We’ve seen suspicious activity—people coming and going with bags at all hours,” another resident said.
This morning’s violent attack has left the community in shock. Eyewitnesses described the attack as targeted, with the assailants chasing their victims before inflicting the brutal injuries. “They didn’t stop; they were slashing everywhere,” said a witness. “It looked personal.”
While police have launched an investigation, they have yet to officially link the violence to any of the residents in the house. However, locals remain on edge, convinced that more trouble may follow. “We’ve been warning about this for a long time,” another resident commented. “It was only a matter of time before something like this happened.”
The victims, who suffered severe injuries, are currently receiving medical treatment. The aftermath of the attack has left a visible mark on the neighborhood, with bloodstains across the streets and a deep sense of fear hanging over the community.
“I’ve lived here for years, and I’ve never seen anything like this,” said one neighbor. “People are scared. They’re locking their doors, and nobody knows what’s going to happen next.”
As the investigation continues, Garrison Beach residents are calling for swift action from authorities to restore peace to their community. “It’s a bloodbath, and people are terrified,” a resident concluded. “Something has to change before more people get hurt.”
NYPD spoken states that 1 possible suspect is in custody and others are still wanted.”

More news on war between Israel and her neighbors.
MARJAYOUN, Lebanon (AP) — Israeli strikes on Lebanon Monday killed more than 350 people, including more than 60 women and children, Lebanese authorities said, in the deadliest barrage since the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war. The Israeli military warned residents in southern and eastern Lebanon to evacuate ahead of its widening air campaign against Hezbollah….
And if you’re thinking the that really doesn’t affect us…..
WASHINGTON — The U.S. is sending a small number of additional troops to the Middle East in response to a sharp spike in violence between Israel and Hezbollah forces in Lebanon that has raised the risk of a greater regional war, the Pentagon said Monday….
So it turns out that raping, murdering, and kidnapping innocent people has a harsh price for those who do it, and their families, which the cowards hide behind.
Sorry, but that’s as it should be.
As for the idea that using such devices is somehow wrong, would you prefer carpet bombing the area they live in instead?
Didn’t think so. This was a targeted, precision strike that took out terrorists, and in some cases their families as well. Better that than innocents on their block. There’s a lot less collateral damage this way
Aj, think a little bigger — this was a new, weaponizing electronics we all use. If this clarifies it for you any better, what if that gets into what we believe would be the ‘wrong’ hands?
It is more a discussion on this new war technology that can be co-opted, presumably, and the possible implications.
And innocents were killed, btw, which I realize sadly is a fallout of wars everywhere and by all weapons. To the extent it can be laser focused against warriors of nations that mean the world or other nations harm, it may have uses — though even in this case children were killed
People carrying pagers or walkie-talkies or other every-day technology presumably will be wandering among civilians in many cases.
Another aspect of this is the violation of national boundaries and the increasing potential for another world war .
I realize Israel has been the recipient of attacks from within other countries, and I understand tit for tat. For example , I thought the Iranian attack and counter attack were very measured, and we were fortunate that it didn’t escalate any further.
I don’t keep up blow for blow in the whole Middle East — there are so man skirmishes and battles, and it would be more work than I can do. But it does seem to me that Israel has taken sufficient revenge for October 7, and should probably be encouraged to dial it back. Also I would like to think there are political solutions regarding the government in Lebanon, and they could be encouraged to better control terrorist activity coming from within their border.
AJ I understand that there is collateral damage in these things. It’s one reason I hate war and don’t want to engage unless it’s absolutely necessary. Using technology like exploding pagers is bound to be controversial. And yes, they are much better than bombing. There would be much more collateral damage with bombs. But I can’t see the upside to another forever war in Israel, which I think would certainly spread.
It’s unfortunate, and I still believe we wouldn’t be having nearly as many wars if we had elected the other guy president. I’m not sure what he can do about the state of affairs at this point, but I hope he wins the opportunity to try in November.
I think it’s amusing that you think Israel is the only one looking at ways to weaponize every day items. I guarantee you the US, Russians, and Chinese all have programs to do exactly this.
Collateral damage is the result of their actions. They own that. Don’t want your wife and kids put at risk, then don’t be a terrorist rapist and murderer. See, easy.
There will always be a forever war against Israel as long as the hateful Muslim hordes roam the MidEast. That’s just a fact.
It could all end tomorrow if Muslims would learn to live in peace with their neighbors. But they seem incapable of joining civilized society, so on and on it goes.
Israel has the right to use any means necessary to protect their citizens, just like any other sovereign nation.
They do have that right AJ, but I don’t want to be involved in their efforts if they are going to broaden the scope of the war. They don’t have the right to US funding or intelligence or political support. If they want to self-destruct, I would be sad but not complicit. Just as I will be sad if Ukraine continues on its path of [I believe] self-destruction. But I don’t want to be complicit in aiding or funding those efforts. Everyone must learn to live with their neighbors or risk being destroyed. And yes, when your neighbors are the radicals, it’s much harder. I had real hopes of Trump’s efforts in the middle east, but it takes more sustained effort than we could provide, given our political realities here.

The Tangle site has a good discussion on the “pager bombs” today.
Brilliant? Yes. Horrifying for all the future implications and in resulting in collateral damage? Another absolute yes.

Wow.
So it turns out that raping, murdering, and kidnapping innocent people has a harsh price for those who do it, and their families, which the cowards hide behind.
Sorry, but that’s as it should be.
As for the idea that using such devices is somehow wrong, would you prefer carpet bombing the area they live in instead?
Didn’t think so. This was a targeted, precision strike that took out terrorists, and in some cases their families as well. Better that than innocents on their block. There’s a lot less collateral damage this way

Aj, think a little bigger — this was a new, weaponizing electronics we all use. If this clarifies it for you any better, what if that gets into what we believe would be the ‘wrong’ hands?
It is more a discussion on this new war technology that can be co-opted, presumably, and the possible implications.

And innocents were killed, btw, which I realize sadly is a fallout of wars everywhere and by all weapons. To the extent it can be laser focused against warriors of nations that mean the world or other nations harm, it may have uses — though even in this case children were killed
People carrying pagers or walkie-talkies or other every-day technology presumably will be wandering among civilians in many cases.

Hope you see that is a complete misreading of the point that was being made.
Thank you.

Another aspect of this is the violation of national boundaries and the increasing potential for another world war .
I realize Israel has been the recipient of attacks from within other countries, and I understand tit for tat. For example , I thought the Iranian attack and counter attack were very measured, and we were fortunate that it didn’t escalate any further.
I don’t keep up blow for blow in the whole Middle East — there are so man skirmishes and battles, and it would be more work than I can do. But it does seem to me that Israel has taken sufficient revenge for October 7, and should probably be encouraged to dial it back. Also I would like to think there are political solutions regarding the government in Lebanon, and they could be encouraged to better control terrorist activity coming from within their border.

AJ I understand that there is collateral damage in these things. It’s one reason I hate war and don’t want to engage unless it’s absolutely necessary. Using technology like exploding pagers is bound to be controversial. And yes, they are much better than bombing. There would be much more collateral damage with bombs. But I can’t see the upside to another forever war in Israel, which I think would certainly spread.
It’s unfortunate, and I still believe we wouldn’t be having nearly as many wars if we had elected the other guy president. I’m not sure what he can do about the state of affairs at this point, but I hope he wins the opportunity to try in November.

Dj,
I think it’s amusing that you think Israel is the only one looking at ways to weaponize every day items. I guarantee you the US, Russians, and Chinese all have programs to do exactly this.
Collateral damage is the result of their actions. They own that. Don’t want your wife and kids put at risk, then don’t be a terrorist rapist and murderer. See, easy.

Debra,
There will always be a forever war against Israel as long as the hateful Muslim hordes roam the MidEast. That’s just a fact.
It could all end tomorrow if Muslims would learn to live in peace with their neighbors. But they seem incapable of joining civilized society, so on and on it goes.
Israel has the right to use any means necessary to protect their citizens, just like any other sovereign nation.

They do have that right AJ, but I don’t want to be involved in their efforts if they are going to broaden the scope of the war. They don’t have the right to US funding or intelligence or political support. If they want to self-destruct, I would be sad but not complicit. Just as I will be sad if Ukraine continues on its path of [I believe] self-destruction. But I don’t want to be complicit in aiding or funding those efforts. Everyone must learn to live with their neighbors or risk being destroyed. And yes, when your neighbors are the radicals, it’s much harder. I had real hopes of Trump’s efforts in the middle east, but it takes more sustained effort than we could provide, given our political realities here.
