[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] She looks unwell, she hasn’t even the balance for a low heel, nor the energy to get her hair properly coloured. And she is wearing a grandma necklace with the name of grandchild #3.

I was going to make a joke about looking for the Goodyear logo, but the blue is wrong. She could have had it dyed another color if it is the only shape of dress that suits her. Some people do that with their carpets. Alternatively, she could sell advertising spots on the thing like race drivers do with their jumpsuits. Ukraine could cover her entire derrière, for instance, based on their donation level.

[plop!] Providence Journal: "In Venice,
An Air of Batrachian Menace!"
Strange stars and perversions...
Stale books and mad Persians...
[IsraelTimes] A lawyer for the far-right Oath Keepers murderous group has been charged with conspiracy in connection with the January 6, 2021, attack at the US Capitol, authorities say today.
Kellye SoRelle — general counsel for the antigovernment group — was arrested in Texas on charges including conspiracy to obstruct the certification of US President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S., father of Hunter, close friend of an imaginary negro named Corn Pop. He blames Trump for losing Afghanistan.... ’s electoral college victory, the Justice Department says.
SoRelle, 43, is a close associate of Stewart Rhodes, the Oath Keepers’ leader who is heading to trial later this month alongside other murderous Moslems on seditious conspiracy charges.
After Rhodes’ arrest in January, SoRelle told media outlets she was acting as the president of the Oath Keepers while he’s behind bars.
Prosecutors have accused Rhodes and his militia group of plotting for weeks to stop the transfer of power and keep former US president Donald Trump ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US... in office, purchasing weapons, organizing military-style training and setting up battle plans.
SoRelle told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named last year — when FBI ...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time... agents seized her phone as part of the January 6 investigation — that she had no knowledge of or involvement in the Capitol breach. She called the seizure of her phone "unethical" and the investigation "a witch hunt."
She is expected to make an initial appearance in federal court in Austin, Texas, later today and it isn’t immediately clear if she has an attorney to speak on her behalf.

A full blown blitzkrieg is happening and this corrupt mob is hoping to neutralize any and all opposition hopefully before the country realized what is happening.

"Far right", "antigovernment" -- when I looked into the Oath Keepers years ago, their primary stance was taking the oaths they swore as military and law enforcement to defend the Constitution seriously. Have they changed,or are journalists just rewriting FBI press releases again?

I don't keep close track of the Oath Keepers, but I do know the FBI has made it so "Against all enemies, foreign and domestic", which is part of the oath all servicemen take when they enlist, to be part of an anti-government far right statement.

I've long suspected that the "Oathkeepers" are nothing more than another FBI false flag operation. When you look back on their every 'action' and statement, yet they never seem to do anything, smacks to me of FBI agents attempting to goad someone into something.
[WashingtonExaminer] Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) is in a dogfight for reelection, according to a fresh GOP poll that saw the incumbent leading Republican challenger Joe O’Dea by a single percentage point.
The survey, conducted for the Republican Attorney General’s Association, showed Bennet up over O’Dea 48% to 47%, with 5% undecided. O’Dea, the wealthy owner of a construction company, is a prized Republican candidate who has positioned himself as a centrist in a bid to oust Bennet, 57, in Colorado, a blue state President Joe Biden won by double digits nearly two years ago.
Boosting O’Dea, 60, was his strength with independent voters. He trailed Bennet by only 4 points, 49% to 44%, with this crucial voting bloc. Veteran Republican strategist Dave Sackett, of the Tarrance Group, is the pollster; he surveyed 600 likely registered voters Aug. 22-25. The margin of error for the poll was plus or minus 4.1 points.
“These poll numbers done by a very reputable pollster and firm show what we've been seeing on the ground these past few weeks: Republicans can win in Colorado this November,” state GOP Chairwoman Kristi Burton Brown said in a statement. Some Republicans speculate O’Dea is in contention because Democrats meddled in the GOP primary, spending heavily to define him as a “moderate” so the party might nominate Ron Hanks, an acolyte of former President Donald Trump.
The Colorado Senate race is rated “likely Democratic” by Inside Elections, a nonpartisan political handicapper. Bennet won his first full Senate term in 2010, which, like this year’s midterm elections, was favorable to Republicans. He won in a squeaker and was easily reelected six years later.
The Colorado GOP, which shared the poll with the Washington Examiner on Wednesday evening, declined to make available the survey’s findings in the governor’s race. Gov. Jared Polis (D) is running for reelection against Republican challenger Heidi Ganahl. But the information provided included data on the race for Colorado attorney general and was more good news for Republicans.
That race is a pure toss-up, according to the poll, with incumbent state Attorney General Phil Weiser (D) locked in a 44% to 44% tie with Republican challenger John Kellner, a district attorney. Twelve percent said they were undecided.
[FoxNews] Federal money is funding many items taxpayers may not expect to be included in an emergency COVID bill.
But much money is going toward projects that are seemingly unrelated or barely related to the virus or the recovery from the pandemic. Technically, many such projects are permitted. But it is not how the package was sold.
"For over a year, the American people were told they were on their own. We’ve seen how hard that has been on so many Americans," Biden said at a White House appearance celebrating Senate passage of the bill in March 2021. "Everything in this package is designed to relieve the suffering and to meet the most urgent needs of the nation and put us in a better position to prevail, starting with beating this virus and vaccinating the country."
And at a White House signing ceremony six days later, Biden promised: "It’s going to require fastidious oversight to make sure there’s no waste or fraud, and the law does what it’s designed to do. And I mean it: We have to get this right."
And yet, not only is money being spent on seemingly unrelated priorities, a significant portion of the funding for local and state governments and school districts isn’t even spent yet.
Just 12% of the over $100 billion earmarked for elementary and secondary schools has been spent so far, according to federal statistics. And according to Treasury Department figures, as of the end of March 2022 only about $70 billion of the $350 billion allocated for state and local governments had been spent. Just over $100 billion of that money was contractually committed to be spent.
A Treasury spokesperson told Fox News Digital that 67% of the money available to state and local governments through March was budgeted — and likely more, due to smaller jurisdictions not reporting. The total funding available through that point was just under $225 billion. That means likely about half of the overall $350 billion had been budgeted for future use by late March.
"Washington allocated $350 billion to state and local governments to close budget deficits that did not even exist," Manhattan Institute senior fellow Brian Riedl told Fox News Digital. "These states are totally awash in more money than they know what to do with, so it's no surprise they haven't allocated yet – they're going to be sitting on this money for years."
"That's the kind of thing that we should be exactly 0% surprised by," R Street Institute senior fellow Jonathan Bydlak said. "Any time you have that much money flowing out of Washington, frankly without any real strings or oversight… you're going to get these cases."
Riedl said part of the reason for some of the apparent waste is that the cash was sent to the state and local governments in a one-time lump sum. When that's the case, he said, "state and local governments will look for one-time expenditures, and that can often be silly purchases or silly advertising campaigns."
While money for schools and state and local governments has been slow to spend, the federal government for its part has doled out nearly all the money it was obligated to spend under the American Rescue Plan. Among those expenditures hundreds of billions on stimulus checks and unemployment insurance.
Money spent on a variety of tax credits, including the child tax credit, and the expansion of the Affordable Care Act through 2022 also is almost completely gone.
But Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget senior vice president and senior policy director Marc Goldwein said that spending is causing its own problems.
"It's bad if the money isn't spent, and bad if it is," he told Fox News Digital.
If it's been spent, according to Goldwein, "it's worsening the inflation crisis." If it hasn't, he said, it goes against the "goal of the bill" as an emergency measure.
Gene Sperling, a senior adviser to the president and American Rescue Plan coordinator, said that despite just 12% of ARPA funds being officially spent, according to government numbers, a significant majority had already been committed to be spent by school districts. Sperling also said the passage of the ARPA funding lit a fire under school districts and motivated them to spend other COVID-related federal money they'd not yet allocated "ten times" faster.

I imagine that the few legitimate parts of the spending will occur very slowly. The corrupt part will be spent fast, but the rest is just a pool that can be redirected to bail out Blue State politicians.

The LSD's leadership knows the speech was to stir up its evaporating voter support. Where polls show 65+% sees the DC SWAMP COUP is starting to act more and more like an out of control socialist regime.
So they hope presenting Pro-US Citizens as radicals will give them what they need ... an excuse to declare a National Emergency / Martial Law going into the Nov. 2023/24 election.
SUMMARY: The LSD's are baiting/poking MAGA and Pro-America groups to react, so they will have a presentable excuse to clamp down with an Iron Fist.

I always thought that trump picture above was a joke. Not any more. I do agree they are goating half of America into violence to prove themselves right. The sad reality is if they finally succeed in doing that, the MAGA side will be so violent it will tear this nation apart. Most of the MAGA AMERICANS understand this and its why we remain so silent.

It is interesting, fashion in politics. One trend seems to be to shave off the woman's eyebrows and draw them up higher so as to have "resting concern face".
And a prop. Like pro-wrestlers, they need a prop. They did the tried and true low button blouse with her, and contrary to popular belief ditzy talk overcomes bewbs, so now the mop top.
I do like the, "Well, you are kind of ditzy, so we'll make you a blond."

I guess its time for some Fed assets to earn their $60K and find a group of losers to entrap. There is a comic book store that also sells D&D figurines near my house. It is next to a dive bar called Chuggers. Both are located in a decrepit and near vacant strip mall with a parking lot that will break your axel on your visit to the Dollar Store. All in all, I would call it a target rich environment for the Crossfire crew.

Aggressive behaviors may be verbal or physical. They can occur suddenly, with no apparent reason, or result from a frustrating situation. While aggression can be hard to cope with, understanding that the person with Alzheimer's or dementia is not acting this way on purpose (as he may be reading a teleprompter and it can't be helped.)

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of "Men who wanted to be left Alone".
They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love.
They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it.
They know, that the moment they fight back, the lives as they have lived them, are over.
The moment the "Men who wanted to be left Alone" are forced to fight back, it is a small form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. . . .
Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these "Men who wanted to be left Alone", fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at the Left's door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy . . . . but it will fall upon deaf ears."
[Hot Air] What happens when you combine an all-in or "jungle" primary with ranked-choice voting in the general election? Putting the two modern "innovations" on elections together in Alaska produced this absurd result, in which Republicans lost a House seat despite getting 60% of the vote.
And get ready for it to happen all over again in two months:
Final margin: Peltola (D) defeats Palin (R) 51.5%-48.5% in the final round of ranked-choice. This is a huge victory and pickup for Dems, driven more by Palin's unpopularity than national trends. #AKAL

How is it absurd? The two pubs split the 60% and the dem took the other 40%. If that's how the election is run, that's a consistent mathematical result. It's what happens when the party has no discipline. Begich III comes from a line of democrats and I'd imagine he is running as GOP either as a spoiler or as the sort of pub many Alaskans seem to want.

Murkowski supported the change. It could result in her reelection. This was a special election for a term that will end in January. I don't think that it helps Murkowski for this to happen in an election that means absolutely nothing. Installing another Pelosi Pawn for four months has zero effect. Alaskan Republicans now have an understanding of the scam and can game it out for November, if they want to punish the scammers.
