Recent action novels: a geostationary satellite moved over Afghanistan at 100,000 feet to assist in observing the bad guys; a secret new propulsion system for ballistic missiles that makes them ten times faster. Not the same author. Poets' physics courses.

Headline: "Justice Department warns Elon Musk his $1 million giveaway to swing state voters might violate law"

Requirements for winning the money are that an American citizen be a registered swing state voter and that such voter sign up to his political action committee. None of those, on their own, as far as I know, are ilegal, yet. And if you combine them, I doubt that would make it ilegal.

Hopefully the legal minds here can clear this up.!?

So the story is John Kelly realized he was working for a Hitler admirer and wannabe dictator and then continued to work for him and forgot to mention it for years until two weeks before the election.

So Biden called Trump a "fascist." Ok, fine, in a non-fascist country, the press would ask Biden the next question, "Define fascism." Nobody will ask him that because if they did, the would likely lose their cushy, high paying, high-prestige job in the media.

What I took from that Goldberg article is that damned, SOB Trump wouldn’t use his Time Machine to go back in time to kill Baby Hitler.

Harris was speaking about this earlier today, the footage of that is out there. There is very little chance that this was not discussed between Atlantic staff and the Harris team, helps to explain why she was so Kammie on the Spot.

On the alleged disparaging remarks about Hispanics by Trump, there were witnesses that said it never happened… much better than one anonymous source.

And here’s what Mayra Guillen - the sister of soldier Vanessa Guillen - had to say:

“Wow,
I don’t appreciate how you are exploiting my sister’s death for politics- hurtful & disrespectful to the important changes she made for service members. President Donald Trump did nothing but show respect to my family & Vanessa. In fact, I voted for President Trump today.”

It crossed my mind today that, if Trump wins, Biden will have a long list of people he will want to pardon. He's too vain to pardon them himself, and we will therefore have a December surprise in which Joe resigns and makes Kamala POTUS. The MSM will make the suitable noises, and prepare the ground for the biggest pardon/amnesty in US history..

Kammy regretfully announced today; that because TRUMP IS HITLER!, she has NO OPTION; but to Suspend ALL Civil Liberties, and order the US Military to FIRE upon the HITLER Worshiping TERRORISTS that have the audacity to think that they are allowed to support a man WORSE THAN HITLER!!

Some model nobody ever heard of has now been brought forward 12 years after Trump entered the political arena to claim he "groped" her after he met her through Jeffrey Epstein.

I expect the Democrats think maybe Trump should be arrested for this even though the FBI hasn't arrested a single Epstein pedophile in the last 20 years even though they have video tapes of all of them raping children on Epstein's Island.

At my polling place in Las Vegas, half hour after opening, there was no line. But I was just there to drop my mail ballot in the box. A woman examined it for my signature before she let me drop it in the slot. A steady stream of people with mail-in ballots. No fuss, no fuss, no bother.

You know, in 1965 in the middle of the Civil Rights movement, I think people decided they were gonna take matters into their own hands and create a better country and that’s what I hope we do here in the next few weeks.

When the Republic was threatened, people picked up arms and answered the call.

Pick up your arms people.

Answer the call. It's time to take the law into your own hands. Pick up your weapons.

No silly ....

That's not ME saying that.

These are direct quotes from James Carville ... President Barack Obama's campaign manager, urging people on the Democrat side to KILL Republicans.

Per Kelly:

1) Trump said: Hitler did some good things. IOW, he wasn't all bad. Only an ignorant clown or idiot would disagree. Every dictator has done SOME good things, otherwise they would never have stayed in power. Goddamn, this is History 101.

2) Trump said he wanted German Generals like the ones in WW II. Y'know like Rommel. Do people understand that the german general tried to kill Hitler in July 44, and they paid for it with their lives? Or that you could be a Nazi and a Regular Army General? The "Nazi Generals" were Waffen-SS. Personally, I think Trump was pulling Kelly's chain - given what wussy dumbshit Kelly was.

But anyway, glad that saying nothing for six years, Kelly pops up to help Kamala - that great friend of the US military - become POTUS. Thanks General. Maybe you General Millie Vannilli can recruit some Transgenders in 2025!

Elon Musk hasn't paid ANYONE to vote. He has given some people a reward for signing a petition, which is perfectly legal and how much are Democrats offering you to sign their petitions? The starting bid is $1 million dollars.

Inga, I don't think this is going to stick to the wall. But it's nice that you've found somewhere to fling your feces.

RCOCEAN II म्हणाले...

Just clarify the vast majority of German Generals the tough sharp ones that were so hard to beat - weren't nazis. Again, the Waffen-ss had the Nazi Generals. Von Mainstein, Keitel, Rommel, Von Runesdsat (sic), Model, halder, Jodl, etc. Were not members of the nazi party.

Quaestor म्हणाले...

Mark Halpern warned us the last meager vestige of Democrat sanity would evaporate if President Trump wins, but I didn't expect to see it the raving psychosis break out this early.

This is delicious news for President Trump and his supporters. It means Carville has seen the private polls and has been shocked to his core at the historic landslide Republican victory pending. Thus the blatant racist appeal to the sad remnants of the black lunatic fringe (Nation of Islam, BLM, etc) in the hope of returning their escaped "captives" back to the old plantation. A forlorn hope, I must say. If there's anyone a Black Israelite is disinclined to believe it's a bald white man with a Deep South accent.

Dixcus म्हणाले...

Biden said that we (Democrats) need to imprison Donald Trump.

He didn't accuse him of any crimes. Or pick a jury. Or wait for a trial. Or even hear a verdict.

Just ... we need to imprison Donald Trump. (You know, since they are too incompetent to murder him so they have to strangle him in prison ala Jeffrey Epstein, with all the cameras turned off and black jail guards asleep on the job again.)

I really hope they do it. Joe Biden has no idea the repercussions of such an act on his family.

VA Must Start Building 750 Temporary Units for Homeless Vets on Los Angeles Land, Judge Says

"A federal judge in California has ordered the Department of Veterans Affairs to get moving on a grand plan to build housing on the spacious grounds of the West Los Angeles VA Medical Center to end the blight of veteran homelessness in the city.

In toughly worded rulings in September and October, federal district Judge David O. Carter made clear that his main purpose in ordering how the VA's property should be used was to provide shelter for the nearly 3,000 veterans in the area estimated to be homeless by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority.

"We are the homeless veterans capital of the world right now," Carter said in the course of the class-action suit brought by homeless and disabled veterans seeking housing on the 388 acres of the West LA campus.

"We can't let this happen," said Carter, a Purple Heart Marine veteran of the 1968 siege of Khe Sanh during the Vietnam war. Many of the homeless veterans in Los Angeles "bear indelible physical and mental scars from their time in the armed forces," Carter said, but the VA "has for decades strayed from its mission to care for these veterans."

In his final ruling in the case issued on Oct. 11, Carter ordered the VA to begin constructing 750 units of temporary housing immediately and another 1,800 units of permanent housing by 2030. The 1,800 units of permanent housing covered by the ruling would be in addition to the 1,200 units of permanent housing for veterans the VA has promised since 2015 but failed to complete.

Much of the attention in Los Angeles to Carter's rulings has focused on his scrapping of leases that the VA had granted over the years on the West LA VAMC campus for everything from oil wells to parking lots and a baseball stadium named for Brooklyn Dodgers great Jackie Robinson, where the UCLA Bruins play their home games.

"The owner of a Pennsylvania McDonald’s that went made news over the weekend after former President Donald Trump visited and served up fries to customers has retained private security following threats made to the location. Trump’s visit, during which he was seen working the fry station and serving customers at the drive-thru in Bucks County, attracted both attention and threats, prompting the franchise owner, Derek Giacomantonio, to take action.

Jim Worthington, a key organizer of Trump’s visit and leader of Pennsylvania’s delegation at the Republican National Convention, told the Daily Caller that the McDonald’s has received threatening phone calls and social media messages after the former president’s appearance. In response, Giacomantonio, who had already hired private security ahead of the event, retained their services to protect his employees.

They're trying to do that in Idaho with Proposition 1. Oddly enough, all the TV/radio ads talk about is changing primaries to open voting. The argument is that it's not fair to independents, who can't vote in primary elections now. An entirely retarded argument- under what sense of fairness should people who don't belong to a political party have a voice in who the party chooses as a candidate? Anyway, they can still exercise their right to vote in the general election, after each party chooses its own candidate.

As to the rest of the proposition- you know, the part that institutes ranks choice voting? No mention at all is made of *that*. When you're hiding what you're trying to do- in this case, by omission- your ideas are crap.

https://badgerherald.com/opinion/column/2024/10/16/republicans-attempt-to-restrict-ballot-drop-boxes-is-a-direct-attack-on-democracy/

“Voter fraud via drop box is less likely than being struck by lightning, according to a report by the Brennan Center for Justice. Rather than baselessly attacking drop boxes, it is important to turn our heads to the great benefits they provide. Drop boxes resolve issues associated with mail-in ballots by ensuring that votes do not get lost in the mail and reach election offices in time for counting, according to the Bipartisan Policy Center.

Moreover, studies show that implementing drop boxes increases voter turnout for working-class and minority individuals who must prioritize their irregular work schedules over casting their ballots, according to Stateline. The City of Madison announced its 2024 drop boxes will also create accessibility for voters in rural areas and voters with disabilities.

As a long-standing method of voter participation, the benefits of voting drop boxes clearly seem to outweigh the imagined risks.

In fact, drop boxes had safely been in use for decades before Republicans cast doubt on their integrity at a convenient time — the 2020 presidential election. This election saw an unprecedented surge in absentee voters due to the restrictions the COVID-19 pandemic brought upon in-person voting. To be exact, over 40% of American voters utilized absentee ballots in 2020, according to PBS Wisconsin.“

Just looked at the sample ballot for my town- with no local races, so only county level and up.

The Republican and Conservative parties have candidates for all 9 races. Identical but for county coroner- the conservatives have a different nominee. I'll have to look into that. I'll be voting straight Republican on the Conservative line.so that race deserves a closer look. Question I've has since first seeing an election for county coroner: Why, just why, is that an elected position? Seems to me that should be a civil service position with a test or professional qualifications spelled out and required.

Democrats have no nominee for county coroner- nor for county district attorney.

Just a note about NY: Currently Democrat, Republican, and Conservative parties have automatic ballot access based on their vote totals in the last gubernatorial race. The rules were changed a few years back to require more votes then the Working Family Party normally got because they were threatening to run someone against Schumer. At the same time, in order to get the change in place- instead of just the gubernatorial election determining who had automatic access for the next 4 years, it was both the gubernatorial and presidential elections for access the next two years.

Working Family party, by petition, managed to duplicate the Democrats on the 4 statewide races, POTUS, US Senator, and two state supreme court justices.

Interestingly, the LaRouche Party (yes, they're still around!) has a nominee for US Senator. I wonder it that takes votes away from the Republican or Democrat- or if it's inconsequential. Especially since it's NY... By candidate they'll come in 3rd, by party vote, 5th. Unless, of course, there's a stronger write-in candidate. I'm not aware of any.

That by encouraging more speech, (remonetizing people who are believed to be hateful) you/they are going to find more "hate speech", which is what you would want if you wanted to create an environment where there was a call for censorship again. Pretty sneaky Google.

I believe, if I remember correctly, he also claimed at the time, five and a half years ago, that google had “taken down” a lot, if not some of his content. No mention of that being restored.

To persevere in the face of such rebuke of your words, your works, such a ‘smack in the face’ he called it, the pressure to quit altogether must’ve been enormous. Yet he soldier on and prospered. Which tells me this guy might have something worthwhile to say.

Btw. The Weinstein, husband and wife, have not quit either and they have been demonetised for years now. Their transgression was their criticism of health authorities COVID response.

For the SECOND time here in Oakland, thieves have drilled a hole in my husband's truck parked in driveway and drained the gas from the tank. Can someone explain: is this an Oakland thing? A CA thing? Is there anything you can do to prevent it? WTF @OaklandPoliceCA

It's not an Oakland thing. It is a blue city in a blue state thing. Best way to prevent it is never vote for Democrats. Even communists are better than Democrats as they have the same goals but at least are honest about their goals. Democrats aren't honest.

"The choices are actually pretty simple: A) John Kelly is lying because he’s a Democrat working to elect Democrats, or B) John Kelly, only 2 weeks before an election, was so overwhelmed with feelings that he decided to publicly tell a story he’d been blabbing all over town for years that – even in a town where second-hand rumors about Trump are treated as gospel truth and lead the nightly news – has been held as closely as the identity of Deep Throat was by those very same rumormongers.
Democrats really are the scum of the Earth."

"I'm not sure the Central Park Five really want a civil trial on what happened the night of April 19, 1989, but by suing Donald Trump for defamation, that's what they're going to get.
How did the detectives get the boys' parents to go along with videotaping their sons as they confessed -- falsely, they now claim -- to the rape of the jogger, in addition to vicious attacks on bicyclists, joggers and other park-goers?
all five readily admitted to the other crimes, but each of them minimized their role in the rape, as is typical for suspects in sex crimes cases. They confessed — to the police, to detectives and to their friends and acquaintances -- only to fondling or restraining the jogger while others raped her."

"Trump is a total mystery to his enemies. They do not understand him because they can only see him through a distorting prism of hatred. They fabricate hoaxes to justify that hatred
The most obvious cause for their hatred is that Trump represents a true existential threat to them. He has made no secret of his intentions to do everything he can to destroy the deep-state, wokism, socialism, bloated government, globalism, and what Steve Hilton calls “incompetism.” Based on his first term, they know he will probably succeed. He has already succeeded in reinventing the Republican Party. "

Applebaum has one aim in life, the collapse of the Russian Federation, and the looting of the resources of 1/6th of the land surface of the planet that it occupies. She hate's Putin because he put an end to the looting by Western oriented "oligarchs" who got so rich looting the remains of the Soviet Union under our puppet, Yeltsin, who has said that he appointed Putin out of regret at what he had done to Russia.

As a Buffalo Bills fan, I can say that it never occurred to me that Jimmy Johnson was evil and needed to be destroyed because he was a great coach for the other side, I always figured that the Bills needed to get that much better. But that's now how people like Applebaum seem to think.

For Putin to ‘invite’ an unhinged despot to deploy his army into a regional conflict for personal gain confirms that Putin is the greatest threat to peace in the world and must be resisted and ultimately stopped at all costs. The middle ground of seeking to negotiate just became irrelevant To appease him and reward his aggression as Trump is proposing is no more effective than Chamberlain seeking ‘peace in our time’ from Hitler in 1938/39.

"For Putin to ‘invite’ an unhinged despot to deploy his army into a regional conflict for personal gain confirms..."

For personal gain... Once again Rich does one of his proofs by mind reading. Borscht Man Bad! Even Gorbachev said that Russia would go to war over it if Ukraine tried to join NATO. There are clips of Biden saying this. Obama said that fighting a war over expanding NATO to Ukraine was a losing proposition.

Russia is rich in resources, and has no need to add a population that hates it into its territory. Invasions flow toward resources, from places like Europe that are not rich in resources, not from countries rich in resources, like Russia, to areas poor in resources, like Europe.

That's why it's Russia which has been invaded four times, and the only Russian invasion of Europe was a counterattack to a European invasion of Russia that nearly reached Moscow, and which was done on a handshake between Stalin, FDR, and Churchill.

The simple fact is that if Putin let NATO waltz into Ukraine, he would have been deposed.This war is about Russian security, not personal gain, and it is going to cost Russia dearly, even if they win, but not as dearly as having NATO poised a couple of hundred miles from Moscow with nuclear weapons, in a position to demand capitulation from Russia. And didn't you hear that Putin is already a trillionaire? Althouse posted about it a while back.

Oh wait, you believe the North Korean story? Is there no Ukrainian propaganda that you won't believe? I have no doubt that North Koreans are conducting joint exercises with the Russians, out in East Asian region, Russian has 11 time zones after all, and since we provoked this war, the Russians are the world's foremost experts on how to combat NATO weapons successfully. So I am sure the North Koreans are eager to learn. But even Applebaum's "Institute for the Study of War" has said that Russia is having zero problems recruiting soldiers in sufficient numbers for its war effort. It has no need to bring in a couple of brigades of soldiers who don't even speak Russian to fight in Kursk, where the Ukrainians are getting their asses kicked in another meat grinder. Kursk was such a blunder for Ukraine that many are speculating that it was a Russian trap.

New IRS Unit Begins Targeting Pass-Through Businesses

"The IRS has officially launched a new unit that it states will “more efficiently conduct audits” of entities known as pass-through businesses.

The initiative targets businesses that pay no taxes on their revenue. Instead, the income generated is passed on to owners who then file taxes based on their individual taxation rates. Pass-through businesses include sole proprietorships, partnerships, limited liability companies, and S-corporations.
In September, the IRS stated that it is establishing a unit within the agency’s Large Business and International (LB&I) division focusing on large or complex pass-through entities.
"

[snip]

"“By using Inflation Reduction Act funding and enhancing our expertise in this area, we will be able to reverse our historically low audit rates for complex arrangements employed by certain high-wealth individuals and large entities.”

Pass-through examinations had been divided between two IRS divisions—LB&I and the Small Business/Self-Employed. The cases were assigned on the basis of entity size.

Revenue agents from the new pass-through unit will be grouped into teams based on geography. They will be tasked with primary examination of returns related to pass-through businesses.

While the IRS claims that funds from the Inflation Reduction Act will be used to go after high-income groups, it earlier admitted that lower-income groups could be targeted if there was a funding crunch.

In such a situation, the agency will be forced to cut down enforcement staff by more than 50 percent in fiscal year 2030, the IRS stated in May. This would “severely” affect the agency’s ability to carry out complex audits.

“Since lower-income taxpayers are more likely to have simple tax returns, this lack of funding will likely translate into a higher share of audits falling on low- and middle-income taxpayers, while examination coverage rates for high-income and large corporate taxpayers will severely decline,” the agency stated.
