Additionally, the 208,887 number for August represents a 317% increase over last August 2020 which saw 50,014 encounters — and a 233% increase over August 2019, where there were 62,707 amid that year's border crisis. In August, 49% of apprehensions were single adults, down 7% from July, and 44% were expelled via Title 42 public health protections put in place under the Trump administration and extended by the Biden administration. The Biden administration has been expelling single adults and some migrant families under the order, implemented due to COVID-19, but has not been expelling unaccompanied children or migrant families with young children.
Has there been anything that Biden has done so far that has been successful? He's got no plan as Covid continues to rage. The fiasco in Afghanistan will go down as one of the United States historical low points. Inflation is steaming and the economy is cooling with no plan in sight to turn the tide. Foreign policy has been in shambles. We have a military that is more interested in teaching wokeness than teaching our military how to fight. With both chambers in the hands of Democrats, they cannot get their agenda passed due to infighting and people holding others hostage.
Even the Administration admits that the border is a problem as well as admitting that they have no plan to fix it. This seems to be the modus operandi of the Administration. Try to deny a problem until it becomes undeniable, then point fingers while admitting you have no plan to fix the problem. You can go back to Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan... and you never run across an Administration so inept and so unprepared as the Biden Administration. While they might not be their quite yet, they are in danger of making the Carter Administration look competent.
The only problem for those opposed to Biden is that so many things are going wrong that you never really get to sink your teeth into any of these fiascos, disasters, or unmitigated failures. There is always more bad news right around the corner to change the subject to.

The Biden regime probably has no idea how many beaners have snuck into the US, but they are certain of one thing - ALL are new democrat voters and that's all that matters.

Like inflation, which we keep being told is transitory:
JUST IN - NY Federal Reserve now sees inflation at 5.2% in one year, 4% in three years; a series high with "large expected price rises" in food, rent, and medical costs.

The hits just keep on coming, and the clowns running this Biden circus expect us to become numb to all of it. The left has bought in since day one because we're now rid of bad orange man. The rest of us will be forced to comply.
Inflation expectations among U.S. consumers over the medium term rose to the highest level on record in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s surveys, according to the latest edition published Monday.
Consumers said they expect inflation at 4% over the next three years, up 0.3 percentage point from a month earlier.
The median expectation for the inflation rate in a year’s time also rose by 0.3 percentage point to 5.2% in August, the tenth consecutive monthly increase and a new high in the series, which goes back to 2013.
The Fed survey showed that Americans are expecting higher rates of price increases for items like rent and food that make up a big chunk of the consumer-price basket, and can’t easily be substituted.

Crushing price increases on basic necessities for those that can least afford it. And democrats, being those self-proclaimed champions of the poor are now proposing this:
House Democrats have proposed a tax hike on tobacco and nicotine products to help fund their $3.5 trillion spending plan.
The measure may increase current levies on cigarettes, cigars and roll-your-own and smokeless tobacco, according to a plan summary. They have also proposed new taxes on vaping products.
Companies typically pass so-called excise taxes — levies on specific goods such as alcohol, gasoline, soda and tobacco — along to customers with higher prices.
These tax increases may bring in more than $96 billion in revenue over the next decade, according to estimates from the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation.
While health advocates applaud the plan, opponents say it violates President Joe Biden’s promise not to raise taxes on Americans making less than $400,000 per year.
“A tobacco tax is probably the most regressive tax out there,” said Ulrik Boesen, senior policy analyst of excise taxes at the Tax Foundation. “There’s no question that it’s a tax on people earning less than $400,000.”
The White House did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment.

Actually I acknowledged the exact opposite BWAA. But you keep doing you.
Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, took it upon himself to serve in loco parentis for a country.
He played parent to the world, too: The preview said he used his personal relationship with the head of China’s military to assure him the U.S. was not about to collapse — and he promised to warn China ahead of time if the U.S. decided to launch some kind of military attack.
That is extraordinary. It’s comforting, in the sense that the two military chiefs can back-channel during moments of uncertainty. But it’s scary as hell because it assumes the elected officials making decisions are not cognitively capable. Milley clearly thought Trump was unhinged.
Actually I acknowledged the exact opposite BWAA. But you keep doing you.
I swear with the examples we have here, any liberal that reaches 70 is incapable of coherent thought
Trumpism on steroids.
Foreign policy has been in shambles. We have a military that is more interested in teaching wokeness than teaching our military how to fight.
Not until World War II did joblessness finally begin to subside, in good measure because of military mobilization — important, but not the same as peacetime employment.
As often discussed, errors in monetary policy contributed to the misfortune that was the 1930s. The cause of the duration of the Depression, though, was Washington’s persistent intervention. The chief economist at Chase, Benjamin Anderson, noted that after failing by playing God, the government chose not to retire but simply “to play God more vigorously.”
The first lesson of this sorry account is that an arbitrary national economic campaign from atop generates damaging uncertainty in the economy. However charmingly it reverberates, the very phrase “bold persistent experimentation” stifles growth.
The second point is that what helps the union hurts the worker. President Biden’s proposal to end “Right to Work,” if it becomes law, will dramatically stifle employment.
The third point is that synergy is overrated. “Synergy” sounds great in a political speech — or, for that matter, in a boardroom sales pitch. Synergy’s political allure can even befuddle voters, as it befuddled those who supported Roosevelt, and massively so, in his 1936 reelection campaign. But synergy falls short when it comes to delivering the economy those voters long for. Companies, and therefore most often workers, do better when companies serve a single master: the profit motive, or “Mammon,” as Roosevelt disparaged it.
For many years after the New Deal, Americans recalled the devastating record. The results of the Wagner Act so horrified Congress that, postwar, it neutered that legislative tiger with the Taft-Hartley Act, establishing the very “Right to Work” provision which President Biden would now abolish. When President Eisenhower bemoaned the military-industrial complex, he was bemoaning the inflexible statism that the New Deal had established. Ironically, the growth of the economy after corrections of Rooseveltian excesses may be the reason President Biden can elevate Roosevelt’s playbook with such impunity. Lulled by decades of prosperity, America has finally forgotten the defeats that playbook caused.
To replay the New Deal is to ready the field for trouble, or even tragedy. The only way to prevent that sorry outcome is to deny the administration the chance to substitute nostalgia for facts.

Trump Fears Rally for Rioters Is ‘Setup’

Former president Donald Trump is concerned that this weekend’s rally at the Capitol in support of the January 6 insurrectionists is a “setup” designed to damage his reputation, the New York Times reports.
Trump is reportedly fearful that the media will use the rally against him “regardless of the outcome.”

How Tucker Carlson Lost It
September 16, 2021 at 7:15 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 40 Comments
The New Republic tracks Tucker Carlson’s embrace of the dark side.
“A year after his CPAC speech, Carlson would take a stab at creating the type of hard news–focused outlet he described. When he launched The Daily Caller in 2010, he vowed that it would ‘primarily be a news site’ with a straightforward approach to the news: ‘Find out what’s happening and tell you about it. We plan to be accurate, both in the facts we assert and in the conclusions we imply.’ There wasn’t an audience. Within a few months, it was publishing fake news and outrage-driven commentary.”
“The transformation of The Daily Caller is the Rosetta Stone moment of Carlson’s career, a period during which he learned his lesson. He never sought respectability again…”
Illegal Border Crossings Continue at Record Pace

Washington Post: “Illegal crossings along the U.S. southern border remained at decades-high levels last month despite the scorching summer heat, as authorities detained 208,887 migrants in August.”
“When border arrests rose sharply this spring, the president said the increase was consistent with normal seasonal patterns. But crossings have continued to soar regardless of the extreme weather, and U.S. border authorities have struggled to cope with the health, humanitarian and security challenges of the historic influx, particularly as families and children account for a growing share of crossings.”

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) told CBS News that his party needs to “lean in” on COVID-19 prevention, despite hardline opposition.
Said Newsom: “So, what I’m saying here is, be affirmative. Don’t be timid. Lean in. Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about formal authority of setting the tone and tenor on masks — on vaccines and masks. But it’s the moral authority that we have: that we’re on the right side of history and we’re doing the right thing to save people’s lives.”

“John Durham, the special counsel appointed by the Trump administration to scrutinize the Russia investigation, has told the Justice Department that he will ask a grand jury to indict a prominent cybersecurity lawyer on a charge of making a false statement to the FBI,” the New York Times reports.

The Trump Coup Is Still Raging

Kevin Williamson: “The Trump administration was grotesque in its cruelty and incompetence. But without the coup attempt, it might have been possible to work out a modus vivendi between anti-Trump conservatives and Mr. Trump’s right-wing nationalist-populists. Conservatives were not happy with Mr. Trump’s histrionics, but many were reasonably satisfied with all those Federalist Society judges and his signature on Paul Ryan’s tax bill…”
“In the normal course of democratic politics, people who disagree about one issue can work together when they agree about another. We can fight over taxes or trade policy.”
“But there isn’t really any middle ground on overthrowing the government. And that is what Mr. Trump and his allies were up to in 2020, through both violent and nonviolent means — and continue to be up to today.”
“When it comes to a coup, you’re either in or you’re out. The Republican Party is leaning pretty strongly toward in. That is going to leave at least some conservatives out — and, in all likelihood, permanently out.”
Democrats Try Shaming McConnell on Debt Ceiling
September 15, 2021 at 5:57 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 98 Comments
“With the government’s full faith and credit on the line, the Democratic leadership’s strategy for raising the federal borrowing limit seems to be this: Try to shame the impervious Senate Republican leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, into capitulating,” the New York Times reports.
“They unsuccessfully tried this strategy in 2016, when Mr. McConnell blockaded the nomination of Judge Merrick B. Garland to the Supreme Court, maintaining that voters should decide who would name the next justice when they picked a president that November. They tried and failed again late last year, weeks before a presidential election, when the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg opened a Supreme Court seat for Judge Amy Coney Barrett to fill, no matter what voters had to say a month and a half later.”
Perhaps because they, unlike you pederast, have long acknowledged that Trump is no longer president.

Speaking of foreign policy.
This might be as significant as the creation of NATO. Because China is our most dangerous opponent of this generation.
President Joe Biden just announced a new working group with Britain and Australia to share advanced technologies — including the acquisition of nuclear-powered submarines — in a thinly veiled bid to counter China.
The trio, now known by the acronym AUKUS, Australia United Kingdom United States, will make it easier for the three countries to share information and know-how in key technological areas like artificial intelligence, cyber, quantum, underwater systems, and long-range strike capabilities.
All three countries will work over the next 18 months to figure out how best to deliver the technology, which the U.S. traditionally has only shared with the U.K., the official said. U.S. officials and experts noted that Australia currently doesn’t have the requisite fissile material to run a nuclear-powered submarine, meaning the next year and a half of negotiations will likely feature nuclear-material transfer discussions.
Washington and Canberra signed a gold-standard “123 agreement” in 2010 in which Australia promised not to enrich or reprocess nuclear material sent to it by the U.S.
Australia doesn’t seek a nuclear weapon, Morrison and Biden emphasized. Still, a senior U.S. administration official previewing the remarks Wednesday morning said of the nuclear-powered submarines that “this technology is extremely sensitive. This is frankly an exception to our policy in many respects. I do not anticipate that this will be undertaken in other circumstances going forward.”
There’s nothing explicitly about China in the three-way deal, but two U.S. officials noted that the subtext of the announcement is that this is another move by Western allies to push back on China’s rise in the military and technology arenas.
The former President, was literally allowing China and North Korea to dominate most of the Western Pacific territory.

Ever since a pro-Trump mob attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, Republicans and Thecoldheartedtruth have been trying to shift the national conversation away from that dark, violent day and onto what they say are the problems of the Biden administration: a troubled pullout from Afghanistan, an overtaxed southern border and rising inflation.
Then, a former campaign operative of President Donald Trump announced that he was organizing hundreds of protesters to return to the Capitol on Saturday for a rally in support of the defendants charged in connection with the deadly assault, which left dozens of officers bloodied.

And the heat goes on and on and on!!!!!!!!
August 2021 was Earth’s sixth-hottest August since global record-keeping began in 1880, 0.90 degree Celsius (1.62°F) above the 20th-century average, NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information, NCEI, reported September 14. NASA also reported August 2021 as the sixth-hottest August on record, approximately 1.1 degrees Celsius (2°F) above the 1880-1920 period, which is its best estimate of preindustrial temperature.
The month’s heat was focused more on land areas than ocean areas, showing human impact: August 2021 global ocean temperatures were the sixth warmest on record, according to NOAA, while global land areas experienced their second warmest August on record. Asia had its second hottest August on record; South America, Africa, and Oceania had a top six warm August; and North America had its ninth warmest August on record.
Warmest summer on record for U.S.
As detailed in our post last week, the contiguous U.S. states experienced their hottest summer on record in 2021 (a statistical tie with the notorious Dust Bowl summer of 1936). The list below, compiled by weather historian Christopher Burt (author of Extreme Weather), includes many of the U.S. towns and cities with long periods of record (PORs) that had their warmest summer on record, based on average temperature for June through August. Other stations with shorter PORs may also have had their warmest summer on record. Temperatures are in degrees Fahrenheit:
Bad memories of the violence rushed back. The Capitol Police announced that they were reinstalling a security fence around the complex and were aware of “concerning online chatter” from extremist groups. And many Republican lawmakers, gritting their teeth, said they wanted nothing to do with the event. Not a single member of Congress has confirmed his or her attendance, even those who have been most outspoken in portraying the rioters as patriots who have been persecuted for their political beliefs.
-----
Trump's approval rating is much lower than the President.
If this event turns into another violent event, the Democrats will be able to use it as another reason why to vote against Republicans just like the last election .
And in California, in the recall election the Hispanic voters who voted for Trump voted against the recall.
I strongly believe that you are underestimating the negative impact of Donald Trump, who lost the White House and both houses of Congress.

Milley's treason is a landmark in the evolution of the Great Reset, which began with the formation of the Deep State: the notion that a sizable amount of government power must be protected from voters. As I like to say: Democracy rebooted with an authoritarian core.
Mollie
@MZHemingway
"Milley didn’t realize just how obvious it would be that he was Costwood’s major source," says Halperin. Also completely obvious he's the source of the (rather laughable) spin that his actions weren't completely unconstitutional, norm-breaking, undermining of chain of command.
The totalitarian Left passionately believes there should be an elite core of government bureaucrats, with correct ideology and Party credentials, who are not subject to the whims of voters. There are issues of such importance that idiot voters cannot be allowed to interfere.
Of course, that list of issues that should not be subject to the will of the American electorate grows longer all the time. The Great Reset is a whole new political operating system, not one of the authoritarian patches the Left has been uploading every few years.
The Permanent Bureaucracy formed first, a vast horde of unelected unionized "public servants" who are almost impossible to fire. Congress offloaded more and more of its power to agencies and regulations, placing that power beyond the reach of voters.
The Deep State formed within the Permanent Bureaucracy - a network of like-minded left-leaning senior officials who collude to nullify the results of elections they disagree with. We learned from their emails and texts that they see themselves as superior to elected officials.
During the Democrats' impeachment farce, their Deep State witnesses kept saying it was criminal for President Trump to interfere with "their" policies or disregard their "advice." This was a naked assertion of power superior to voters. No measly elected President could defy them.
How is what Milley did any different? He colluded with aggressive, deadly enemies of the United States to undermine an elected president who disagreed with the Deep State's politics and diplomacy. Same mindset as the Democrats' absurd Impeachment Theater "sacred whistleblower."
Do you recall Milley running for any office during the 2016 or 2020 elections? Do you recall him explaining HIS foreign policy to voters and humbly asking for their support? Where could we have gone to vote against Milley's foreign policy and diplomatic agenda?
From Permanent Bureaucracy to Deep State and now to the Great Reset, when some of these hidden systems and unwritten rules will finally be made explicit, the trend has been to diminish elected officials and shift more government power beyond the reach of American voters.
The centralization of power in Washington, the erosion of states and the nationalization of everything, made this inevitable. 50 Permanent Bureaucracies and 50 Deep States could never have disempowered the American voter so thoroughly. Maybe it began with the 17th Amendment.
Washington has become not a shining city on a hill, but a Mount Olympus whose slopes the ordinary American voter cannot climb. You simply are not allowed to vote against, or even resist, much of what the authoritarian core decides. It is not interested in your opinion or consent.
With the Great Reset, we'll be told a hard core of political and economic power has been firewalled against interference by voters. You're just not qualified to influence the weighty decisions those elite experts will make. You'll be "free" to roam within the fences they build.
You'll be told this is for your own good, that your smaller "democracy" is now safer because your betters have the unlimited power they need to protect and guide you. They'll still let your elected representatives vote on certain things or exercise limited executive power.
Likewise, you can have some economic freedom, but key sectors of the economy will be under authoritarian control for your own good. You don't get to mess with the fused political/economic core operating system. You're free to spend the 30 cents on each dollar you get to keep.
If you vote the "wrong" way or elect the "wrong" people, the Deep State will nullify and override the election to protect you from yourself. Of COURSE people who think like this interface easily with Chinese Communist officers. Different hardware, same programming code. /end
You are still going to call me alky and demented Roger. But I agree with The Wall Street Journal editorial board.
While the military reviewing “long-established” nuclear protocols is hardly a scandal, the book suggests this was done after his calls with Mrs. Pelosi. Generals can take her calls, but she’s not in the chain of command.
Mr. Trump was erratic in the final days of his term, staging an unprecedented if doomed political effort to overturn an American election. But if Gen. Milley genuinely felt the President was that much of a global menace, he should have sounded the alarm and resigned. Figures like William Barr and Don McGahn constrained Mr. Trump’s worst instincts without eviscerating political norms.
Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs are typically respected across the political aisle. Gen. Milley’s reputation is already damaged by a botched Afghanistan withdrawal and a Kabul drone strike that killed civilians and is still unexplained. Even if Mr. Biden retains confidence in Gen. Milley, as he said Wednesday, the general’s credibility is in doubt. If the book’s account isn’t accurate, he needs to say so explicitly and specifically.
If Americans are to trust their democratic institutions, and the world’s other powers are to trust America’s defense commitments, it needs to be clear that the military is under the elected President’s control.
He has to testify next week.
Although he probably saved millions of lives, but he stepped farther than anyone before.
The chain of command is especially important.
And by the way I think you can read the article without a account

.S. retail sales rebounded in August, a sign Americans are able and eager to spend despite the Delta variant.
Sales at retailers and restaurants grew 0.7% last month, despite a big decline in car sales related to product shortages and shipping problems, the Commerce Department said Thursday. Sales had fallen 1.8% in July. Excluding cars, sales rose 1.8% last month.
The report shows resilience of the economic recovery and suggests households are boosting spending as schools and offices reopen. Consumers shelled out more online and in retail stores broadly, and on furniture. In the year through August, overall sales rose 15.1%.
Meanwhile, Delta, a highly contagious strain of the Covid-19 virus, could have weighed on certain segments, such as restaurants. Sales at food-service providers were flat, though they were still up sharply from a year earlier.
NICKI MINAJ: ‘Open Your F**king Eyes’ to COVID Censorship, Twitter Ban is ‘Making Me Think’ That ‘There’s Something Bigger’ Going On
"You should be able to ask questions about anything you're putting inside your body."
After being temporarily suspended from Twitter for questioning the COVID vaccine, pop star Nicki Minaj encouraged Americans to “open your f**king eyes” to the censorship currently happening in the West, adding that her ban made her think that “there’s something bigger” going on.
Minaj, the Trinidadian-born pop star, had made global news in recent days, for tweeting in support of medical freedom, explaining that someone she knows became “impotent” after taking one of the controversial COVID vaccines and then urging her followers to pray and weigh the benefits of getting vaccinated. In response, globalist media outlets became enraged at the star, with only Tucker Carlson and other pro-freedom outlets defending her. On Wednesday evening, Minaj even tweeted out a clip of Carlson defending her, causing an even greater backlash from pro-vaccine defenders.

During good times informed folks call that "treading water." During rising inflation the reality of higher prices mitigates the perceived gains of a miniscule rise in retail sales.

Retired Gen. Jack Keane appeared Wednesday on The Story With Martha MacCallum, where he came to the defense of Gen.Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In their upcoming book Peril, Bob Woodward and Robert Costa report that Milly made secret calls with China in October 2020 and January 2021 over fears former President Trump might start a war. The authors claim that the purpose of the calls was to assure his Chinese counterpart that Trump would not start a war.
While Republicans have become enraged by the reporting, calling Milley’s actions treasonous, and calling for him to resign or be fired, Keane says the calls were nothing out of the ordinary.
“Gen. Milley’s making a phone call to provide reassurances, which is his job,” Keane said. “I mean, he's executing his responsibility and he’s doing it in concert with his own advisers and then sharing that with the interagency.”
Scroll to continue with contentAd
Keane also said that the president not being briefed on the calls was nothing unusual, and believes the whole story is being overblown.
“I don’t see anything that is undermining the civilian control of the military,” Keane said. “If you took the facts, that are, I think, being sensationalized in this report, that would be an issue, as you (McCallum) just regurgitated here. But that is not what the Pentagon is reporting. It seems to be pretty much in sync with what we're used to seeing.”
One of the points of outrage among some is the report that Milley made these calls in secret, with some critics believing he was undermining Trump, as has been the message in some segments on Fox News’s primetime shows. But Fox’s own Jennifer Griffin reported on Wednesday that the calls were in fact not secret, and that they were coordinated with multiple high-level Pentagon officials. It was even reported that Trump’s Secretary of Defense Mark Esper took the lead in the first call.
Keane believes that once the facts come out, they will be much less salacious than the stories being circulated right now.
“I think we’re going to get all the facts on this, and I'd be surprised if it's anything more than what we're seeing right now,” Keane said. “Leaders calling Chinese leaders to provide them with a degree of assurance because of their concerns that they had been expressing, likely to one another.”
Keane also responded to some right-wing voices demanding that the call transcripts be released.
“I don’t think we should make it a habit to [be] releasing transcripts. I mean, just think about this. Let’s use some common sense here,” Keane said. “Milley is developing a relationship with an adversarial counterpart, and if we start releasing transcripts of those conversations, that’s just going to blow up the relationship.”
He's an American hero.

Milley clearly thought Trump was unhinged.
Yet only one of them "actually" conspired with a foreign country against their own Government.
And it wasn't Trump.
The sad thing is that this is classic Trump derangement syndrome. What Milley did makes no sense to 90% of people. But those 10% or so who suffer from the same disease seem to have no issue with it or even applaud it.
WHen you find yourself applauding treason 100% because that treason was aimed at Trump, then you can see first hand what TDS looks like and the dangers of it.
While it was clear that many Military advisors disagreed with Biden when it came to how they handled Afghanistan, nobody went behind his back and tried to undermine his decisions. Certainly nobody went out and started conspiring with our enemies because Biden was making a bad call.
Moreover, the bad Biden Afghanistan decision actually happened and we followed through with the fiasco, and people died and got left behind. It was a disaster that was not stopped by anyone.
The fantasy in his own head dream state that Milley had conjured up was not real. It never happened. There was no evidence that it was ever going to happen>. Milley acted based on voices in his head. No more. He is sick in the head. TDS!

Not only that, but Woodward and Costas reporting has been taken at 100% face value by the left with zero fucking skepticism. None. The TDS runs THAT deep.
If you accept all of this reporting without a shred of skepticism you're not that smart and you're certainly not a free thinker who always "looks at both sides."
You're an asshat.
What is striking is how Trump's, supporters whataboutism in the world cannot deflect from the fact Donald Trump tried to overturn an election, tried to destroy our democracy just to soothe his own fragile wounded ego. And the reason isn't just awful history, it's that he seems to be his party's frontrunner in the next election, and that's why this can't be ignored.

Moreover Rat...
There are two levels of assumption that these people have to go through before getting to their personal belief.
1) They have to believe Woodward over Milley.
2) They have to believe that the supposed voices in Milley's head were justified.
The problem is that not even Milley would be willing to admit that he would have spoken to the Chinese military behind Trump's back - because it would be treason and he's probably smart enough to understand (unlike the hacks here) that most of the country does not believe that Trump was about to Nuke China to keep in office.
In reality he would need more than just a "hunch" or more than just a distrust of Trump in order to tangibly act against our own military's laws and chain of command. He would have to realize that. Nobody that matters will believe that his "gut feeling" about Trump was justification for treason.
Now if he had some real evidence that Trump was planning something and there were other witnesses that heard or knew about these plans, then that would be something else. Certainly Milley (with a deep hatred of Trump) would be more than willing to expose that publicly to defend those actions.
Perhaps Woodward is telling the truth and Milley is denying it because he realizes that he has to. That judging those actions in retrospect make him look bad to most of the country.
Or perhaps (once again) Woodward is making up crap and people believe him because he once got something right 50 years ago. Perhaps Milley did not hear voices in his head or even considered acting against our own leadership and conspiring with the enemy. Perhaps he just had conversations with Chinese military that did not rise to the degree of promising a warning of any attack.
I want to believe that latter. I want to believe that TDS does not go to the level that our top military commanders would allow themselves to have their judgement tainted to the point where they justified treason.
If the story of "Dumbass" General Mark Milley, the same failed leader who engineered the worst withdrawal from a country, Afghanistan, in U.S. history, leaving behind many dead and wounded soldiers, many American citizens, and $85 Billion worth of the newest and most sophisticated Military equipment in the world, and our Country's reputation, is true, then I assume he would be tried for TREASON in that he would have been dealing with his Chinese counterpart behind the President's back and telling China that he would be giving them notification "of an attack." Can't do that!
For the record, I never even thought of attacking China — and China knows that. The people that fabricated the story are sick and demented, and the people who print it are just as bad. In fact, I'm the only President in decades who didn't get the U.S. into a war — a well known fact that is seldom reported.

Roger suggested on the other thread that a professor told him he could graduate in the top 10% of the class in any college.
A person with an IQ of 134 would have a floor of the top 10% with the possibilities of even a higher honors award than top 10%. Top 10% would come easy.
I would be curious as to whether or not the Reverend or Denny would be willing to concede that Roger is far and away the smartest of their little libera group here. Conceding that Roger is like 20-30 IQ points higher than either of them.
I certainly know that the conservatives here probably see Roger as anything but someone within the top 0.3% intelligence level in the world. I would muster a guess that most would see Roger as having average intelligence or even below average intelligence.
Just curious as to what the liberals here think. Is Roger your intellectual superior?? Are you wallowing at the feet of his brilliance? The Reverend actually has a book published. He probably thinks he is smarter than everyone else?
I want to believe that latter. I want to believe that TDS does not go to the level that our top military commanders would allow themselves to have their judgement tainted to the point where they justified treason.
Same here, but other examples of TDS within the highest levels of our government are legion.

The list goes on and on. It's all a lie, it's all political theatre, and it's all just a desperate attempt by the left to cling to power.
Accept the fact that the left has a searing, visceral hatred for all who disagree with them and they want you fucking dead, and the rest comes into focus with amazing clarity.
The alky's intelligence is proportional to his self-esteem. Both low.

A restoration movement.
William F. Buckley’s desire to “stand athwart history and yell ‘Stop!’” described a personality type more than a political agenda. Conservatives, by well-earned reputation, tend to revere traditions and institutions, trust authority, and favor measured, incremental change. Dana Carvey’s impersonation of George H.W. Bush caricatured the type brilliantly: “Wouldn’t be prudent, wouldn’t be prudent at this juncture.”
Without knocking prudence, however, shouting “Stop!” is only a smart strategy when you’re ahead. It doesn’t help when you’re losing.
In the 21st century, the right has lost control of every important American institution. Academia, K-12, the media, Silicon Valley, Hollywood, Wall Street, the civil service, the unions, most professional organizations, and corporate boardrooms. Even the top military brass trip over themselves flaunting their woke credentials.
Stopping time now would enshrine the stupidity, cruelty, and moral bankruptcy of radical leftist wokeism.
Conservatism—Bill Buckley’s version of it, anyway—is dead. It’s just as well. It failed to conserve much of anything. A movement standing athwart history and yelling stop in 2021 will remember four score and seven only as the number of genders.
There’s precious little in contemporary American life worth conserving. There’s a tremendous amount to cherish, however, in this country’s grand traditions. What America needs today is a counterrevolutionary restoration.
And that’s a problem. The GOP has spent decades promoting respectable, cautious, incrementalists like Mitch McConnell, John Roberts, and Kevin McCarthy—fine men blessed with none of the skills necessary to lead a counterrevolution.
Worse, conservatism has always held a particular attraction for people who view prudence, risk-aversion, reverence, and obedience as virtues. These traits are as overrepresented among rank-and-file Republicans as they are within party leadership. America’s “Great Awokening” has thrown them into a state of deep inner turmoil. After all, a corrupted American institution is still an American institution. Even when all available evidence screams that institutional leadership has betrayed America, noncompliance feels wrong.
Such feelings, though laudable in other settings, are self-defeating when a society’s elite institutions and authorities have turned against its own people—as they have in the United States today. Current circumstances call for a very different personality type: bold, irreverent, eagerly noncompliant, and hypervigilant of the corruption that can render even legitimate authority unworthy of respect.
People possessing such traits have typically gravitated toward the political left, where their in-your-face attitude is valued, lauded, and rewarded. Until fairly recently, they’ve been in short supply on the right—and even then, relegated to a periphery reserved for the unseemly.
That’s why we often see woke leftists challenge the minor impurities of woke authorities, while conservatives comply dutifully with authorities whose instructions make them cringe. The combined message to American institutions is clear: Life is safer, cheaper, and calmer if you go woke.
With that message broadcast across America, the left will win in a rout. If the right wants to fight, it’s going to have to jettison its collective conservative temperament and embrace personalities capable of leading a restorationist movement.
That movement, already underway, explains much of the internal tension roiling the GOP. The Tea Party broke open the old, cautious Republican Party in 2010. Energetic activists far more interested in radical restoration than in conservative incrementalism began to come forward. In 2015, Donald Trump—a man no one has ever accused of prudence—seized the mantle that had seemed destined for the tonally conservative Jeb Bush.
This brash, flamboyant, celebrity businessman from Queens brought a left-wing personality style to right-wing politics. “Make America Great Again!” screams of radical action, not incremental change. That novel combination earned Trump far more policy successes and far more vitriol than any recent predecessor.
Trump turned counterrevolutionary restorationism into a true force on the right, in uneasy partnership with prudent conservatism. Many heavyweights who resented the transition chose to lay low, hoping to ride it out. Others—Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney, and the NeverTrumpsters—preferred to lean woke while waggling a schoolmarmish finger in all directions.
Will the restorationism that Trump pioneered become a lasting political force? Or will it remain tied to his unique personality and disappear when he leaves the scene? The answer will define the future of the GOP—and the future of America.
Many of today’s rising conservative stars promise to build a far bolder GOP. Ted Cruz, Ron DeSantis, Rand Paul, and Jim Jordan may be less extreme personalities than Donald Trump, but they share his willingness to reject corrupt authority, challenge prevailing narratives, and promote strategic noncompliance.
If Trump can forge this younger generation into a sustainable restorationist movement, he will emerge as one of the most consequential figures in American history. If not, he will be remembered as a controversial speedbump on America’s glidepath into wokeness.
These questions will play themselves out over the next few years. By 2025 (at the latest) we will know whether America’s political right has reshaped itself into a counterrevolutionary force committed to restoring America’s great and exceptional traditional ideals—or settled comfortably into its role as designated finger-wagger of the woke era.

SAT, HS Military Basic Aptitude Test
I took everything from Iowa Basics to the Military aptitude test. I also took a aptitude test down in Texas for a executive search company that was working with my company at the time. I was being evaluated for a training program that was required to take the next step (promotion) at that company.
While I got scores from Iowa Basics they were just percentages (as in you were at the 96th percentile or what-not. The military did not provide anyone with the actual scores (much less an IQ) - they simply told you whether or not your test qualified you for the Officers Candidate School I applied for. The executive search company did not provide "me" with a score or an IQ - they provided the results to my company and my Director/VP told me my scores were well above everyone else's who was being evaluated.
The only IQ test I took that provided me with a score was the MENSA prequalification test. MENSA told me I was no doubt a genius and that I now qualified to take their next final test (which of course costed money). If I got the same or similar scores on that final test then I would qualify to be a member of MENSA for a yearly fee.
So they wanted to charge me to take a test to see if I was at MENSA Genius level and then charge me a yearly fee to say I was part of MENSA. Didn't seem very smart to me! I am pretty sure I am smart, but also pretty sure I am not likely "genius" IQ either. Would people really look at me differently if I had a MENSA membership and a monthly newsletter?
I think not.
The Biden administration is imposing new limits on states’ ability to access to Covid-19 antibody treatments amid rising demand from GOP governors who have relied on the drug as a primary weapon against the virus.
Federal health officials plan to allocate specific amounts to each state under the new approach, in an effort to more evenly distribute the 150,000 doses that the government makes available each week.
The approach is likely to cut into shipments to GOP-led states in the Southeast that have made the pricey antibody drug a central part of their pandemic strategy, while simultaneously spurning mask mandates and other restrictions. That threatens to heighten tensions between the Biden administration and governors like Florida’s Ron DeSantis, who have emerged as vocal opponents of the federal Covid-19 response.

1. There is so much to talk about; Biden's cowardly bug out In Afghanistan; Inflation, the sour economy & lack of workers because of misdirected income support, bankruptcies of landlords cause by the rent moratorium, gigantic tax increase that's about the middle class, the assault on state sovereignty and voting rights from the Democrats, Biden's failed COVID-19 policy.
With all of this going on, there's not much time for Donald Trump.
2. Despite the obsessive compulsive behavior of some liberal commentators, Trump has been largely off the radar. In other words, he's not making that much news.

FISA Court Confirms The Government Lied In Every Spy Warrant Application Against Carter Page
SEPTEMBER 17, 2020 By Jordan Davidson
A newly declassified ruling from a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court in June demonstrates that the government lied about its legal basis for spying on former Trump campaign official Carter Page.
The ruling states that the information produced by the FBI’s unlawful investigation into Page was illegally obtained and that it “found violations of the government’s duty of candor in all four applications.” The ruling also orders the government that “it must temporarily retain, and potentially use and disclose, the information collected, largely in the context of ongoing or anticipated litigation.”
Under the court’s 21-page assessment, information obtained by all four of the warrants and applications is invalidated due to its illegal acquisition, unless the Department of Justice is using it “to investigate or prosecute potential crimes relating to the conduct of the Page or Crossfire Hurricane investigations” such as the FBI’s overreach and its violations of FISA.
“The Court is permitting use or disclosure of information obtained from electronic surveillance or physical search of Page only where it has been or can be demonstrated to be necessary to remedy or deter the types of harm,” the ruling states.
It must also be proved that the information is required for a specific need before it can be accessed.
This ruling, declassified on Friday, confirms what the FISA court and the Department of Justice both previously declared in January about the FBI’s investigation: that at least two of the four applications allowing “electronic surveillance and physical search targeting Page” by the FBI were “unlawfully authorized.”

“F**k Joe Biden” Chants Heard Across US College Football Stadiums
Having garnered the most votes of any presidential candidate ever in November, Americans appear to be losing faith in President Biden’s ability to ‘build back better’.
From the embarrassment of his chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal to increasing concerns over his tyrannical plans to ‘control’ the pandemic; and from soaring violent crime to anything-but-transitory food inflation, Americans (both young and old) are seemingly suddenly unafraid to express their dissatisfaction, as from coast to coast, college football stadiums on Saturday were packed with fans chanting “F**k Joe Biden.”
Just listen to some of these videos, they are getting LOUD:
https://www.nationandstate.com/2021/09/12/fk-joe-biden-chants-heard-across-us-college-football-stadiums/
and it is a catchy phrase
maybe VERY lo iq can learn it instead of his current catch phrase
ROFLMFAO !!!
One thing is clear: The Joint Chiefs chairman chose China over his president and commander-in-chief.
It’s one thing to engage in treasonous behavior. It’s another thing to compound that behavior with cowardice. Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley may well be guilty of the former, but he’s certainly guilty of the latter.
Yesterday, rather than facing the fire and answering the questions, rather than explaining to the American people why twice he chose loyalty to the communist Chinese rather than loyalty to his own country and his own commander-in-chief, Milley instead chose to cower under a desk somewhere in the Pentagon while sending out a spokesman to speak on his behalf.
What a disgrace to the uniform. And, from a personal perspective, what a relief he’s not a Marine.
“The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs regularly communicates with the Chiefs of Defense across the world, including with China and Russia,” Milley’s spokesperson said. “These conversations remain vital to improving mutual understanding of U.S. national security interests, reducing tensions, providing clarity and avoiding unintended consequences or conflict.”
All well and good, Mr. Spokesperson, but how often do they speak to our number one geopolitical foe without their boss’s knowledge and without their boss’s boss’s knowledge? And how often do they promise to let our enemies know “ahead of time” if we’re going to attack?
No doubt Milley will claim that President Donald Trump was “acting erratically” after the election. But as our Mark Alexander has observed, Trump has acted erratically by Beltway standards since the day he arrived. Which is another way of saying, Trump came to drain the swamp, and the swamp-dwellers didn’t like it.
And where starting wars is concerned, as National Review’s David Harsanyi puts it: “Despite his bellicose rhetoric and bluster, Trump had probably been more reluctant to use military force than any president in memory. … As others have pointed out, Trump was the first president since Jimmy Carter not to have gotten the nation into a new military conflict.”
That fact, of course, makes Milley’s insubordination even more rotten.
“I have great confidence in General Milley,” Joe Biden said yesterday. And we suspect he’ll continue to have great confidence in Milley right up until the moment he resigns — at which point Biden and his paid liar, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, will blame Republicans for having played politics with our national security.
As for Psaki, she was already busy yesterday trying to redirect folks from Milley’s insubordination to the unarmed non-insurrection of January 6: “I don’t think the president is looking for the guidance of members of Congress who stood by as the leader of their party fomented an insurrection,” she said.
Stay classy, Jen.
But while Biden may be thrilled to have a fellow traveler in Milley, a four-star lickspittle with the same affinity for the ChiComs that he has, Biden’s Oval Office predecessor doesn’t seem quite so sanguine:
If the story of “Dumbass” General Mark Milley, the same failed leader who engineered the worst withdrawal from a country, Afghanistan, in U.S. history, leaving behind many dead and wounded soldiers, many American citizens, and $85 Billion worth of the newest and most sophisticated Military equipment in the world, and our Country’s reputation, is true, then I assume he would be tried for TREASON in that he would have been dealing with his Chinese counterpart behind the President’s back and telling China that he would be giving them notification “of an attack.” Can’t do that!
For the record, I never even thought of attacking China — and China knows that. The people that fabricated the story are sick and demented, and the people who print it are just as bad. In fact, I’m the only President in decades who didn’t get the U.S. into a war — a well known fact that is seldom reported.
Trump isn’t alone here. His former acting secretary of defense, Christopher Miller, said he “did not and would not ever authorize” Milley’s covert calls with the ChiComs. Miller described the allegations as a “disgraceful and unprecedented act of insubordination,” and he called on Milley to resign immediately. So has our own national security analyst, Gen. B.B. Bell, U.S. Army (Ret.).
As we noted yesterday, Milley will testify before Congress on September 28. Another question: Who’ll testify about Milley’s calls to China? The Pentagon is saying there were 13-15 people present in the room — one of whom was the source for bookseller Bob Woodward. Will they all attest to the same set of facts?
In any case, and if for nothing more than the sake of military morale, Mark Milley needs to go. Power Line’s John Hinderaker sums things up this way: “I never would have imagined that the U.S. military could sink to the level represented by Milley. He should be fired, cashiered, court-martialed, drummed out of the Army, criminally prosecuted if possible. And we need a thorough investigation into how the leadership of our armed forces could possibly have sunk so low.”
You people are counterrevolutionary traitors.

"After telling my entire story of abuse to the FBI in the summer of 2015, not only did the FBI not report my abuse, but when they eventually documented my report seventeen months later, they made entirely false claims about what I said," Maroney testified, visibly angry.
She said when she read the Office of Inspector General Report, she was shocked at the "narrative" the FBI had "chosen to fabricate."
"They chose to lie about what I said and protect a serial child molester, rather than protect not only me, but countless others. My story is one in which special agent Jay Abbott and his subordinates did not want you to hear," Maroney said.

When future historians seek to explain the United States’ perilous slide toward authoritarianism in the 21st century, they will grapple with the role played in all these events by Fox News and the right-wing media. Simply put, those actors are helping Donald Trump and his movement threaten democracy, in a way that will likely continue getting worse.
A new poll from the Public Religion Research Institute demonstrates in a fresh way just how responsible those bad-faith media actors are for what we’re seeing right now. And this raises anew the question of how much damage they will do over the long haul.
The poll’s big finding is that people who rely heavily on Fox News and other right-wing media are overwhelmingly more likely to believe the election was stolen from Trump — and are overwhelmingly less likely to blame Trump for the insurrection — than those who do not.
In one sense, that’s a no-brainer. But taken together, those views add up to something truly toxic: The “belief” that the election was stolen, and the simultaneous refusal to assign accountability for an effort to violently overthrow our constitutional order, suggest right-wing propaganda may be softening the ground for a more concerted abandonment of democracy going

I went to college for five plus years. I took countless classes. I took tests for work (everything from licensing to sell stocks, bonds, mutual funds to technical classes for programming and such).
Never once have I finished a class and someone told me what my IQ was based on my scores or grade for the class.
98% might be very impressive or perhaps not. I got almost perfect scores in many classes in my life, and I worked harder and needed more brain power just to get a "B" or even a "C" in certain graduate level math courses.

General Milley Rides Through Streets Of Beijing Shouting ‘The Americans Are Coming!’
BEIJING—General Mark Milley was heard last night riding through the streets of Beijing, desperately warning the Chinese with the clarion call, "The Americans are coming! The Americans are coming!!"
"Hey look, those Chinese generals are my buddies, they deserve fair warning—I've known them for ten years now, and they are always so nice to me. They were super supportive about that whole Afghanistan withdrawal thing—those friendships are more important than some job," explained General Milley, America's highest-ranking military officer.
"I mean—they aren't close friends, we don't get together for poker or anything. But we do sometimes exchange funny memes and nuclear codes. We also play that game 'Battleship', but I use the actual coordinates of the 7th fleet, which adds that element of realism which makes it more fun."
Several members of the media, military and those with objective neurons in their brains saw the midnight ride differently, accusing the General of treason. While admitting that factually he totally committed treason, General Milley defended his actions as morally correct. "You all think this is so clear-cut, like there is some clear chain of command we are supposed to follow in the military. It's not that simple," said General Milley. "What if you had a commander who ordered an airstrike against terrorists who kept people in concentration camps, but that felt kind of rash to you? And what if those terrorists had just sent you a hilarious cat .gif? Put yourself in my shoes."
"It sure is easy to cast stones from the peanut gallery out there. But someday, a President is going to come along that is angry, rash, incompetent, and borderline demented, and that President is going to make an enormous mess out of a military operation leading to the deaths of many Americans," he said angrily. "Hopefully that day never comes."

Really? A warning label like you see on a pack of cigarettes?
Republican senator demands National Archives stop putting warning labels on founding documents
Lankford says the warning goes 'leaps and bounds' outside the Archives' role
FIRST ON FOX: A Republican senator is demanding the National Archives stop putting warning labels on the United States' founding documents.
Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., sent a letter to National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) archivist David Ferriero outlining his concern about the "blanket application" of a "Harmful Language Alert" on the nation's pillar documents.
"Most disturbing is use of the alert for our nation’s founding documents, including the Constitution, Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights," Lankford wrote in the letter exclusively obtained by Fox News. "It should be removed immediately."
FATHERS
Lankford pointed out that NARA’s warning posted on the Constitution and other founding documents says "some of the materials presented here may reflect outdated, biased, offensive and possibly violent views and opinions" before tearing into the agency.
"This obviously politically-charged qualifier goes leaps and bounds beyond the role of NARA, which has been established to operate as a nonpartisan entity responsible for providing public access to federal government records," Lankford wrote.
"While our nation undoubtedly has stains on its history, we have, from our founding, created the most free and diverse society on earth," the senator continued. "Nevertheless, the people of the United States have continued their mission of forming a more perfect union."
The Oklahoma Republican told the archivist that America "should take pride in our founding documents" and not act as if we are "ashamed" of the freedoms guaranteed to us by our country.
In addition to demanding NARA remove the warning from the key American documents, Lankford said the NARA Task Force on Racism’s report should be "revoked."
I look forward to your prompt response and reiterate my expectation that the alert be immediately removed," Lankford wrote.
The warning in question came after the Task Force on Racism’s report that deemed the National Archives’ own rotunda to be an example of "structural racism."

Joe Biden’s New World Order
The United States has allied with Britain and Australia to form a new anti-China grouping.
By Tom McTague

7:31 AM ET
SHARE
A new world is beginning to take shape, even if it remains disguised in the clothes of the old.
The United States, Britain, and Australia have announced what is in effect a new “Anglo” military alliance. The basics are these: In 2016, Australia struck a deal with France to buy a fleet of diesel-powered submarines, rejecting an Anglo-American alternative for nuclear-powered vessels. In March this year, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison (or, “that fellow down under,” as Joe Biden referred to him), began talking with Washington about reversing its decision. Then, last night, in a live three-way public announcement, Biden, Morrison, and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson revealed that the Australians would scrap their agreement with France to team up with Britain and the U.S. instead, forming a new “AUKUS” military alliance in the process.
The French response has been apoplectic. The country’s minister of European and foreign affairs, Jean-Yves Le Drian, called the decision a “knife in the back.” Benjamin Haddad, from the Atlantic Council, in Washington, said it had set relations between the U.S. and France back to their lowest point since the Iraq War. Bruno Tertrais, of France’s Foundation for Strategic Research think tank went even further, calling it a “Trafalgar strike.”
Yet behind the soap opera of French anger and the quiet crowing of les perfides anglo-saxons, sits something much more important: the faint outlines of a new world order, or at least an attempt to start drawing one.
As Karl Marx observed, leaders who try to create something new “conjure up the spirits of the past to their service.” Old language, slogans, and costumes are deployed to present the new scene in time-honored disguise. As such, President Biden went out of his way to praise France and to claim that it remained a “key partner” in the Indo-Pacific. He was also at pains to point out that the submarines that would eventually patrol Australia’s coastline were not nuclear-armed, but nuclear-powered. The U.S., Biden stressed, was not breaking its nonproliferation commitments, but simply strengthening existing alliances.
Indeed, in one reading, the formation of an AUKUS military alliance has a sense of deep continuity. As Biden pointed out, the three nations have fought together for most of the past 100 years and are core members of the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing alliance, alongside Canada and New Zealand. For France, in particular, the announcement only reinforces its belief in the difference between Europe and the Anglo-Saxon world. So much, so similar. (A senior Biden-administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said last night that Britain and Australia were America’s “oldest allies.” That might be news to France, which was allied to the nascent U.S. as it fought for independence from … Britain.)

I suspect the sometime France will join the alliance.
Funny rat calling the kettle black as his wife and kids left him all alone in his double wide with a 18 pack pf Busch!!!!!! And sorry sack unemployed pipe dreaming fake farmer thinks he has it all!!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Australia has been our allies forever..
If Trump had done this before he left office you would be calling him the best president in history
Biden's 'summer of love' with Europe hits an abrupt break-up
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden’s summer of love with Europe appears to have come to an abrupt end.
After promising European leaders that “America is back” and that multilateral diplomacy would guide U.S. foreign policy, Biden has angered numerous allies with a go-it-alone approach on key issues, the latest being a new security initiative for the Indo-Pacific that notably excluded France and the European Union.
[...]
Since June, Biden has infuriated America's oldest ally, France, left Poland and Ukraine questioning the U.S. commitment to their security and upset the European Union more broadly with unilateral decisions ranging from Afghanistan to east Asia. And, while Europe cheered when Biden pledged to return to nuclear negotiations with Iran and revive Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, both efforts remain stalled nine months into his administration.
The seeds of discontent may have been sown in the spring but they began to bloom in July over Biden's acquiescence to a Russia-to-Germany gas pipeline that will bypass Poland and Ukraine, and a month later in August with the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan that left Europe scrambling to keep up after it had expressed reservations about the pullout.
Then just this week, Biden enraged France and the European Union with his announcement that the U.S. would join post-Brexit Britain and Australia in a new Indo-Pacific security initiative aimed at countering China's increasing aggressiveness in the region.
Unsurprisingly, China reacted angrily, accusing the U.S. and its English-speaking partners of embarking on a project that will destabilize the Pacific to the detriment of global security. But, the reactions from Paris and Brussels were equally severe. Both complained they were not only excluded from the deal but not consulted on it.
The White House and Secretary of State Antony Blinken say France had been informed of the decision before it was announced on Wednesday, although it was not exactly clear when. Blinken said Thursday there had been conversations with the French about it within the past 24 to 48 hours, suggesting there had not been an in-depth consultation.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, who in June extolled the “excellent news for all of us that America is back,” expressed “total incomprehension” at the announcement of the initiative. “It was really a stab in the back," he said. “It looks a lot like what Trump did.”
France will lose a nearly $100 billion deal to build diesel submarines for Australia under the terms of the new AUKUS initiative, which will see the U.S. and Britain help Canberra construct nuclear-powered ones.
As such, French anger on a purely a commercial level would be understandable, particularly because France, since Britain's handover of Hong Kong to China in 1997, is the only European nation to have significant territorial possessions or a permanent military presence in the
Pacific.

You did something I didn't do, is study enough. Sometimes mathematics was tough but it doesn't mean that I'm not smarter than you.
Well I guess it depends on someone's definition of smart.
If by smart you mean someone who is educated, informed, able to add, subtract, multiply and divide. Someone who can problem solve, understand complex issues, write or speak intelligently. Someone who doesn't make a complete fool of himself on a regular basis.
Then there is plenty of proof that you are not smarter than me.
But if by smart you mean that someone at some time in your life thought you had the potential to be more than you ended up to be?
Well then maybe.
But keep in mind I have also had plenty of people tell me how smart I was. My 9th grade Algebra teacher told me that I was the best math student she had ever taught (and my test scores reflected that). Not that I had potential to be good if I got my shit together. That I actually was in real time the best student she had taught.
After college I applied at an insurance company. Thought about selling insurance (ended up selling investments). They asked you to do several things, including getting 10 personal references to fill out a questionnaire about me. These were not five minute questionnaires. But rather multiple pages and would take someone probably an hour or more to fill out.
The stipulation was that it could not be a former employer or a relative. It literally had to be just people who knew you and were willing to do the work for you.
When I went in for my second interview they told me that I had 7 returned questionnaires and that they were glowing in their reviews. He said that average person only gets 2 or 3 people to fill them out. Some don't want to ask people (because it is fairly intrusive) and literally quit the interview process. But apparently most of my people felt someone honored that I had chosen them to answer questions about me.
All of those people recognized something more than potential if I got my shit together.
But sure Roger... if it makes you feel better. You keep thinking you are smart and smarter than me as well.
"The United States, Britain, and Australia have announced what is in effect a new “Anglo” military alliance."

Nothing New here at all.

Poor slow brain dead fucktard could not recall Prime Minister Scott

Alliances are very useful tools, but they are nothing more. NATO has been incredibly effective for advancing European and American interests by checking Russian ambitions in Central and Western Europe.
But he should have gotten France in this new alliance.
CHT.
Just an oddity about Roger.
He had not talk at all about Moving to Washington State until you did.
But sure Roger... if it makes you feel better. You keep thinking you are smart and smarter than me as well.

Scott I'm just going to say it one more time.
I got the opportunity to become a hospital construction estimator for Kaiser Permanente West Los Angeles in 95.
In the next few years learned how to understand electrical engineering systems, hvac systems and again the engineers were surprised how quickly I learned higley complex engineering specifications in every type of technology.
I ended up tutoring two highly complex people how to estimate construction projects. They are still friends. Women!! In construction jobs.
We converted the entire country medical records systems from paper work to internet access. I was a beta tester for Kaiser Permanente services..
We changed everything into modern technology.
Unless you have any experience in hospital systems, you have no clue about it.
Do I make errors with things sometimes but I am definitely smarter than you Scott.
Unless you're in the top ten percent!

The Real Crime General Milley Exposed Laid BareIf the GOP had the courage of the Senate Republicans in 1974, Milley never would have been in a position to worry that an American president might start a nuclear war just to hang on to power
Thom Hartmann

Joint Chiefs Chairman General Mark Milley stepped outside the realm of his constitutional power to prevent Donald Trump from starting nuclear war with China or Iran. It was definitely unconstitutional and probably illegal. But he’s not the true villain in this story; the true villain is almost never mentioned in the press.
Trump’s advisors aren’t the villains, either, although Trump was just the latest Republican president advised by Paul Manafort and Roger Stone, whose partner in the years after they advised Nixon, Lee Atwater, had passed away from brain cancer after making a public apology for all the damage he did to our nation in the service of Nixon’s party and, later, George HW Bush (Willie Horton, et al).
And Nixon, too, presented such a threat to world peace and democracy in America that his own Defense Secretary, James Schlesinger, took actions remarkably similar to Milley’s, as was revealed by the Washington Post on August 22, 1974. Schlesinger and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs George S. Brown (who’d just taken that post on July 1, 1974), the Post wrote, “kept a close watch to make certain that no orders were given to military units outside the normal chain of command.”
Specifically, Schlesinger and Brown were worried that Nixon would start a nuclear war to stay in power as he became increasingly under siege in the Watergate scandal. Congress relieved them of that burden when Barry Goldwater walked over to the White House and informed Nixon that both Democrats and Republicans in the Senate were going to vote to impeach and remove him from office if he didn’t resign immediately.
Which highlights the true villains in the General Mark Milley story who are almost always overlooked in the press: 50 Republicans in the US Senate, led by Mitch McConnell, who twice refused to remove Trump from office after the House had impeached him.
It’s not like these senators didn’t know that Trump was an unstable narcissist who had both loyalties and financial ties to autocrats in Russia, Turkey and multiple other foreign countries. They not only knew but were informed in great detail during the first opportunity they were given to remove Trump from office in December of 2019.
The impeachment managers laid out in excruciating detail the evidence that Trump had repeated for the 2020 election what he and his children had tried to do with Russia in 2016: solicit foreign interference in a US election, this time by trying to bribe the president of Ukraine with the promise of American weapons. At any other time in American history that would have been prosecuted as outright treason.
For example, in the election of 1800, then-Vice President Thomas Jefferson benefitted from what we’d today call a tabloid journalist, James Callender, publishing stories about the XYZ Affair that explicitly suggested his opponent, then-President John Adams, had provoked the cold naval war with France that came out of the scandal just to help his reelection chances. The charges of treason hurt Adams badly in that election, helping hand it to Jefferson.
While Adams almost certainly hadn’t committed treason to stay in office, Trump almost certainly did, or something close to it. But the Republicans in the Senate were apparently unconcerned.
They knew by then that Trump and his family had both openly and secretly solicited and received Russian help in the 2016 election, that he’d trashed American intelligence agencies while elevating Russia’s in a public meeting with President Putin in Helsinki way back in July of 2018, and that he’d tried to strong-arm the president of Ukraine to manufacture dirt on Joe Biden.
Compared to Richard Nixon paying to bug the DNC headquarters in the Watergate complex and then lie about it afterwards, Trump’s behaviors were monstrous. But Republicans gave him a pass on his criminal behavior. Twice.
If even a bit over a dozen of them had had the courage of the senate Republicans in 1974, Milley never would have been in a position to worry that an American president might start a nuclear war just to hang onto power and thus avoid prosecution.
But Senate Republicans are proudly lacking in courage, patriotism or any sense of loyalty to our nation or its ideals; their only loyalties are to their own power and the billions their donors use to seduce and control them.
Milley (and then-Defense Secretary Mark Esper) shouldn’t have had to take actions that may well have saved the republic if Trump had played out what he was considering.
And the American media needs to put the blame for that squarely where it belongs: fifty Republicans in the US Senate who chose their own self-interest over our county when Trump’s impeached fate was in their hands.
I sincerely hope that the people will prevail.
Just wonder if the cabinet for the obviously demented Joe Biden will invoked the 25th amendment or let him start a nuclear war.
How about it Roger? Which would it be?
Why does 78% of the GOP think Biden was not elected??????? Why does the GOP distrust democracy?????? Why is the GOP a shadow of its former self????? Why are they doing this???????
Biden Lies About Florida, Texas COVID Response While Withholding Lifesaving Treatments
Biden's blind partisanship is, unsurprisingly, based in fantasy. Republican governors in Florida and Texas have pursued measures that ban mask mandates — which is different than an outright ban on masks, despite the lies peddled by Biden and other Democrats — while President Biden is the one who is undermining life-saving measures in those states. In what appears to be petty political maneuvering, Biden is putting American lives at risk. This development is somewhat unsurprising given he's also left Americans stranded behind Taliban lines in Afghanistan, but it's disturbing nonetheless.
As has been reported by officials in Florida, the Biden administration blindsided Florida's health officials by restricting the supply of monoclonal antibody treatments without warning.
And in Texas, a similar situation unfolded when Biden and his administration cut supply for the same treatments for residents in the state. It is clear that Biden is pursuing an "agenda of cruelty" against those he disagrees with politically.
Pair the Biden administration's withholding of lifesaving monoclonal antibody treatments with the CDC's directive for pharmacies to stop filling prescriptions for ivermectin — another drug doctors prescribe to help COVID patients fight the virus — and it's clear that Joe Biden is playing politics with the lives of Americans simply because of the state in which they live. Contrary to what he claimed of Texas and Florida, it is President Biden who is engaging in the "worst kind of politics."
They were afraid Trump would be the cruel and petty tyrant when it was Biden all along.

Well Roger - as coincidence would have it...
I support the ERP software that many many many healthcare organizations use. I also spent most of my college working in the business office of a hospital. I know quite a bit about everything from inventory control, to requisitioning, to purchasing, to payables, to receivables, to financial reporting, to asset management, to lease accounting, to project management. You want to order some medical supplies or a new piece of equipment. I have knowledge of everything that happens from start to finish and how it all works together. How it is ordered, invoiced, paid, depreciated, tracked for budgeting, reported, etc, etc...
Do you know how hospital assets depreciate for tax purposes?
Do you know how to set up and track projects and budgets?
Do you know how to set up the receivables or payables?
What to do when something goes wrong?
But what would "I" know about healthcare computer systems or software?
Obviously you know more, because you helped convert some paper into electronic documents. Something that most companies pay temps to do.
Yeah... you are much smarter in how to run Hospital computer software than me. I am sure every HR person in the world would choose you over me if they needed an IT person in a healthcare environment.

Maybe it was the cheating by the Democrats. Or the fact that no one in their right mind would vote for a senile old man.
Regardless, right now there are enough regretful voters who would have voted for Trump to have swung the election to him. Unfortunately voters remorse doesn't count.

Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America
If the story of “Dumbass” General Mark Milley, the same failed leader who engineered the worst withdrawal from a country, Afghanistan, in U.S. history, leaving behind many dead and wounded soldiers, many American citizens, and $85 Billion worth of the newest and most sophisticated Military equipment in the world, and our Country’s reputation, is true, then I assume he would be tried for TREASON in that he would have been dealing with his Chinese counterpart behind the President’s back and telling China that he would be giving them notification “of an attack.” Can’t do that!
The good news is that the story is Fake News concocted by a weak and ineffective General together with two authors who I refused to give an interview to because they write fiction, not fact. Actions should be taken immediately against Milley, and better generals in our Military, of which we have many, should get involved so that another Afghanistan disaster never happens again. Remember, I was the one who took out 100% of the ISIS Caliphate. Milley said it couldn’t be done!
For the record, I never even thought of attacking China—and China knows that. The people that fabricated the story are sick and demented, and the people who print it are just as bad. In fact, I’m the only President in decades who didn’t get the U.S. into a war—a well known fact that is seldom reported.
We converted the entire country medical records systems from paper work to internet access. I was a beta tester for Kaiser Permanente services..
Being a beta tester doesn't mean you're expert in medicine nor is estimating construction of hospitals and other healthcare facilities.
A hospital is really not that much different than from a commercial building. Both have plumbing windows doors. The difference is in the extra plumbing for your oxygen and air conditioning to provide positive/negative airflow to control infection.
The rest of it is supplies, equipment, and personnel. That is beyond the preview of a construction estimation and takes considerably more skill,
Do you know how hospital assets depreciate for tax purposes? Of course. Kaiser Permanente is a nonprofit organization except for the Doctor's Department who pay off the taxes and Medicare taxes.
Do you know how to set up and track projects and budgets? Yes of course. When they consider a project, either a remodeling of an existing medical facility, I worked on estimates for the cost of the proposed projects. The last one I worked on my estimate was for about $10,000,000 . When they did the specific project the final cost was within about 3%.
Do you know how to set up the receivables or payables? That was not part of my job. But again when they needed to know how much money it would cost, I did estimate the price for the project.
What to do when something goes wrong?
If I had been wrong about the projected costs, I would have been layed off. Because they don't need a reason to let me go. But because I didn't fail, I kept the job for 17 years.
What you don't know is that I know about everything you mentioned.
The difference is in the extra plumbing for your oxygen and air conditioning to provide positive/negative airflow to control infection. ICU units have negative air systems to prevent ill people to transmit or get infected by germs and bacteria. The same thing with child care units
The rest of it is supplies, equipment, and personnel. That is beyond the preview of a construction estimation and takes considerably more skill,
I know about everything in hospital and medical office buildings. From the foundation to installing new doors and windows and cabinets.
BWAAAAAAAAA!!!! Now, where did the cheating occur????
Guess here that it was every state (there were state and local races to steal). But of course the attention was concentrated on the battleground states.
It's why the GOP passed voting laws to secure absentee ballots. Ballots can no longer be mail unsolicited. The voter must request the ballot. In some states they must give a reason. A chain of custody is then establish between the voter, the USPS, and the vote counting center. No one except a close relative or license care giver can assist the voter in casting his vote. Ballot harvesting is strictly forbidden.
Registration rolls are purged of dead voters and voters who have moved out of state. The only federal law needed is to setup a national registry to insure that once a voter register in his new state his registration is removed from his old state.
And of course each voter will be required to show a state issued picture ID (ofter given at the time of registration). The state issued must the proper address of residence.

There have now been more people indicted for spreading lies about 2016 Russian "collusion" than there have been for colluding in the 2016 election.
FACT CHECK - TRUE
state media should be ashamed
Hospital in California have a higher construction requirement
Cal/OSHA - Division of Occupational Safety ...
California administers the largest state OSHA plan in the nation and consistently exceeds its inspection goals to protect millions of workers each year.
They have to comply with osha regulations that are much more complex than City, county or state construction requirements.
ICU units have negative air systems to prevent ill people to transmit or get infected by germs and bacteria. The same thing with child care units
Not just ICU and child care units. There were medical units with private rooms and negative air flow. These were quickly converted into COVID rooms.

That's nice but what does that have to do with you? That is an issue for architects and engineers. You just take their parts and materials list and estimate the cost of the building plus labor.
And there's more than one estimator. There a plumbing estimator, air conditioning estimator, foundation estimator , etc.

LOL! Obviously you have no clue what I am talking about. I have controllers and COOs who have questions about how depreciation books, methods and conventions. Non-profit or otherwise. Medicare taxes? Not sure you understand the difference between writing off depreciation and paying taxes in general.
Yes... everyone pays taxes.
Like me saying I understand construction because I know there are walls and floors and roofs and things.
Do you know how to set up and track projects and budgets? Yes of course.

So you can explain fund accounting to me, periods of performance, labor schedule (and no that is not when your labor clocks in or out). How to set up the structures and hierarchies of summary projects versus posting projects, etc, etc....
Projects or Activities as some people call them are ongoing and have more than just a building in question. They are also tied to budgets that have to be specifically booked in the financial statements (P&L and other types of reporting) and each account might have it's own separate budget.
and it's "all" part of what I have to know and understand. Not to mention that I need to have a decent understanding of how the actual program coding is designed and sometimes I even have to write code to fix things.
But sure Roger...

I knew what the duration of the project, I know how to estimate electrical HVAC systems and control systems how to connect the systems to the control rooms so they could adjust to temperature, and all of the plumbing systems work and even the structural components. We had to replace the structural steel joints so they would not collapse during earthquakes.
You have no fucking clue.

The right wing terrorists are actually supporting authoritarian philosophy.
History is never as far away as we like to think. The ills of both the late Roman republic and the late empire affect the United States today. Like the late Roman republic, we are sharply divided by warring political factions, subjected to street violence, and grappling with how to save traditional political institutions in the face of wanton rot. Like the late Roman empire, the United States is crippled with debt, inflicted with imperial overreach in military affairs, and unable to beat back unchecked immigration from foreign cultures. Indeed, in the last regard, America is in a worse predicament than Rome, for our immigrants come from across the globe and many have absolutely no interest in assimilating to American folkways and culture.
Understanding where America stands in relation to Roman history is important insofar as solutions are concerned. If we are in our Late Republic phase, then like the Roman Republic we may be able to solve our problems by discarding a rotten political structure and submitting to authoritarian rule based in Caesarism. Many in the obscure “neoreaction” sphere of online politics see this as a solution. They believe a pro-American, populist, strong dictator could solve many of America’s woes.
But, if we are in the Late Empire phase, then America as a united entity cannot and should not be saved. Like the battle-scarred Romans before us, we can find salvation in local autonomy and the creation of limited political structures based in city-states. Before becoming a powerful republic, Venice was born as a way for Italians of the war-ravaged north to save themselves. The Venetians built their city’s walls, and then expanded to become the premiere mercantile power of the Christian world. This process was repeated throughout Italy. It could be repeated here in the United States at the regional, municipal, and state level.
Rome withstood centuries of instability and civil war. The US is unlikely to do the same, and the rise and speed of digital technology means that history moves much faster.
In the end, we Americans must embrace either our own version of Caesarean authoritarianism, or work with the barbarians to effect the complete breakup of the Empire, in the hopes that something altogether new, beautiful, and grand might be build upon the ashes of our former greatness.
Leave it to the left...
To decide at the time we have a Democratic Administration, a Democratic Senate, and a Democratic House...
That somehow the Republicans are using authoritarianism to rule the country?

The Air Force is traitorous Woke Cultist
The Air Force says it's trying to dig into systemic issues that have resulted in widespread and consistent racial disparities that have hurt female airmen or Space Force Guardians and service members from racial minorities.
But in an online Facebook town hall Thursday for the services' leaders to discuss racial issues, it was clear that even convincing some service members and leaders that there is a problem remains a challenge.
"We do need to woke up," Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force JoAnne Bass said when asked what service members should do if they have a leader who dismisses such discussions as "woke culture." Those leaders, she added, should "read the over 17,000 [anonymous] comments from over 100,000 airmen and Guardians that have said there are some challenges" with racial disparities
The panel's moderator began by noting that the comment section below the Facebook
Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall pointed to vast quantities of data that have been compiled by the service's inspector general over the last year and a half showing significant disparities in the way women or those from racial minorities are treated when it comes to promotions, the military justice system, or sexual harassment or assault.
"The data is quite clear on this," Kendall said. "There's not a question about whether it exists or not, as far as I'm concerned."
The IG's second racial disparity report, released Sept. 9, found that Hispanic and Latino, Asian American and Native American officers and enlisted service members were promoted to certain ranks below the overall average rate. Officers in those racial minority groups, for example, were also less likely to hold leadership roles such as squadron, group or wing commander. And enlisted service members in those racial or ethnic groups also were underrepresented among command chiefs and first sergeants.
The first report last year focused on Black service members and found similar trends.
Part of the issue is that the Air Force has tended to choose its leaders from the ranks of operations career fields -- particularly pilots. And because those jobs tend to be filled by white men for reasons that aren't 100% clear to experts, that has resulted in an Air Force leadership that is likewise more white and male.
Hi alky. Beat up any more black women? It's your brand, right racist?
