I was a ham operator as a teen back in the days when Radio Moscow was blasting their vile propaganda right in the middle of the 40-meter amateur band. Learned to recognize propaganda when I hear it. Went on to serve Uncle Sam for 28 years. No DMs

Alina doesn't seem to know what she's up against there. Newark is the city where the police marched with the BLM protesters and Taco's older sister was forced to resign as a federal judge.

Gotta wonder what went wrong in their brains. They worked really hard and spent a lot of money to get their Law licenses.

This doesn't sound like anything unusual to me. When I worked for the government, those of us who traveled to Washington DC were often warned about being victimized by people in DC bars. They also ordered us for our safety not to go to Tijuana while we were on temporary duty in San Diego.

Quite a change from when I worked for the government and we had mandatory training about systemic racism.

Mayor Baraka should go after her Law license too. Her reputation as a lawyer on other cases is also somewhat less than sterling. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Same thing for other people for the past 9 years. Hillary Clinton with an ankle tracker, Anthony Blinken executed, and on and on. They've claimed the Marines attacked U.S. installations like Ft Meade. It's positively false, and the cult all believe it. One outlet is called "Real Raw News."

Why worry about national security when we've already lost the war and exist as an occupied nation? The issue now is whether the victorious enemy can win the peace in a place where most of the population is armed to the teeth. Do they think they'll accomplish that by wrecking the economy?

It's not "like the U.S. was defeated." The Cold War did not end with the fall of the Soviet Union. The U.S. has, in fact, surrendered without a shot being fired, just as Nikita Krushchev promised in 1956:
"We do not have to invade the United States, we will destroy you from within."

Private companies have never been constrained from gathering data about us. Credit card companies, cell phone companies and store chains know where you are, everwhere you've gone, and everything you've bought. TVs record everything you've watched and they listen to everything said near them.

Stephen Miller has the motive. Would he have the courage to do it?

I'm from NJ. My advice to ICE is don't mess with the Italians. Nutley merely tried to move their Christopher Columbus statue and instantly drew an angry flash mob of them ready to fight.

That's false reasoning. Poor people create jobs by buying food, merchandise and housing. They require services from police and firefighters and others like doctors, lawyers and barbers. They also make industries possible by working at ordinary jobs that the rich would refuse to do.

There'll be no better time than now, with a drunk in charge at the Pentagon and a mental case running the White House.

@1.20 about the use of Chinese steel. It's been linked to the Bangkok building collapse. Hoping U.S inspectors have been requiring tests on rebar. www.youtube.com/shorts/wb8Kz...

Is there a theologian out there who would care to comment on how she displays that cross so prominently while telling such wicked lies?

He's the guy who went to prison for refusing to testify to Congress.

If they pursue the matter they'll be reinstated eventually, but it'll probably take long time. Many years ago, my boss was caught mowing his lawn at home while he was also on duty at the office. He was fired, but the gov't violated his due process by mistake, so he was reinstated with back pay.

Don't forget the criminal charges for trespass, destruction of government property, interference with government operations and a host of others like conspiracy and theft of sensitive government information.

Firing from Tesla, lawsuits and criminal charges were this a sane world.

Courts took four months to conclude a simple fact that a high schooler would have learned in Civics class. Meanwhile, all of world commerce was kept in a state of chaos.

Takes the courts four months to figure out something we've known all along.

The board should fire him like HCA fired Rick Scott for leading the company into criminal behavior. They should also sue him for the damage he has done to their brand, demanding most of his stock in compensation.

In years while it was in use, lead in gasoline has been linked to a reduction in average IQ scores and an increase in teen pregnancies. Today's political chaos may very well be a consequence of those effects.

Us too, on I-95 past major seaports like Jacksonville, Brunswick, Savannah and Charleston. Truck traffic was way down from normal.

A few weeks ago I drove on I-95 past a few major seaports. There was a marked reduction there in the truck traffic we've seen in past years. It seemed more like what we saw during the pandemic. The vast majority of traffic on the road was cars headed north out of Florida.

Kudos to Dr. Gartner for his courage to speak up. If I were to make a wrong turn and get lost in Deltona, I wouldn't dare tell anyone because people would want to take away my driver's license. This guy makes serious mistakes that hurt millions of people, and no one dares say a word about it.

Check your figures. 200 million federal employees is a bit high. We have only about 330 million people in the USA. Maybe you meant 200,000.
