[IsraelTimes] Left-wing academic confirms to Wall Street Journal that he sought disgraced financier’s assistance in moving funds but insists none of the money was from the dear departed sex offender.
Academic and left-wing activist Noam Chomsky ...Intellectual and political theorist of a socialist persuasion.

Wiki: Chomsky is a prominent political dissident. His political views have changed little since his childhood, when he was influenced by the emphasis on political activism that was ingrained in Jewish working-class tradition. He usually identifies as an anarcho-syndicalist or a libertarian socialist. He views these positions not as precise political theories but as ideals that he thinks best...

You mean all of those investigations on Jeffrey Epstein? Harvey Weinstein? Any "world exclusive" interviews with Biden's daughter to talk about her diary and those hot showers? How about Pfizer? Saint Fauci?
So, just what did that investigative unit do, after all?
[FoxNews] At least six people were arrested at the Nebraska state capitol building Friday after protests broke out as lawmakers passed a bill that bans abortions after 12 weeks and restricts gender transition procedures for those under 19. [that's a woman?]
The 12-week abortion ban has exceptions for rape and incest and the bill wouldn’t allow transgender people under 19 years old to undergo gender surgery but with few exceptions.
Nebraska currently bans abortion around 20 weeks and is one of multiple states that has recently passed abortion and transgender laws. Last month, a proposed six-week ban failed to advance.
Debate was stopped briefly around 2:40 p.m. while arrests took place in a chamber balcony where those opposing the controversial bill yelled and threw what appeared to be bloody tampons onto the legislative floor. The balconies were cleared for the remainder of the debate.
Lucia Salinas, 24, and Maghie Miller-Jenkins, 36, were arrested for allegedly obstructing a government operation and disturbing the peace, the Nebraska State Patrol said in a release sent to Fox News Digital.
Mar Lee, 25, was arrested for allegedly disturbing the peace and trespassing after he refused to leave the balcony for repeatedly yelling. Danna Seevers, 56, who was on the opposite balcony for people who supported the bill, was also arrested for allegedly disobeying a lawful order when she also refused to leave, the state patrol said.
About an hour later, as troopers were attempting to take a man who was allegedly trying to prevent a Sgt. at Arms from opening a door at the back of the legislative chamber into custody, a woman punched a trooper in the chest when he prevented her from pushing past him.
Benjamin Buras, 40, and Sara Crawford, 33, were both arrested in that incident. Buras was arrested for resisting arrest and trespassing after officers said he didn't comply with orders to leave. Crawford was arrested for allegedly obstructing a peace officer.
All six were booked into the Lancaster County Jail.
Republican Gov. Jim Pillen said he plans to sign the controversial bill that passed after Republicans got enough votes to end a filibuster.
Protesters have been demonstrating at the capitol in Lincoln, Nebraska this week since lawmakers advanced the bill on Tuesday.
More videos on social media appeared to show police clashing with other protesters outside the chamber whose chants of "Shame, shame!" could be heard by voting lawmakers.

It is great that Nebraska joins other states in protecting unborn life.
I see that it is a protection that only kicks in after 12 weeks. Since 90% of all abortion occur before that, it really isn't all that serious. It is a wonderful first step. But it, like the new law in North Carolina that the media are hyperventilating about, still allows 90% of all abortions to proceed.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Based on that photo, if she is taller than 5’4” she weighs over 200 lb. May I suggest reading Tom Godwin’s classic “The Cold Equations“.
The woman, named Lillian, said everyone had to share their weight with crew
When they suspected one person was lying, they made her stand on a scale
Lillian said it was 'safety reasons' since weight balance is vital on smaller planes

I once took my mother on a trip to Friday Harbor in Puget Sound. We landed at Sea Tac, then transferred from a large airliner to a very small plane. The pilot weighed both of us and all our baggage. He then spent a fair amount of time distributing the baggage inside the plane to ensure a proper center of gravity.

Federal Aid Taxpayer funded.
So the LSD's open the flood gates and several MILLION flowed in.
The illegals scoop up the entry level low-end paying jobs that the (16-25) US Citizens would have taken as they initially enter the job market.
Being in charge of E-Verify the LSD's occasionally announce a few PR-Media arrests. While 99% are never checked.
The given Taxpayer Funding is placed at around $160+ Billion for the Illegal support.
Then there is the negative economic impact of illegal immigration at around $182+ Billion due to lost tax revenues, hospital abuse, Public School overloading, food banks depleted, increases in crimes, $$$$ not put back into the US economy that is sent to families in Central/South America, and $$$ for the Cartel - Mules to pay for the trip.

[FoxNews] Several suicides reported at the Newport News shipyard in Virginia in 2022 highlighted poor living conditions among sailors.
A Navy investigation prompted by a spate of suicides is recommending widespread improvements in housing, food, parking and internet for sailors as well as changes to mental health and other personnel programs. The much-anticipated report lays out a sweeping condemnation of living and working conditions at naval shipyards that had languished for years but were brought to light by the deaths.
"We let our people down." Navy leaders said in response to the findings.
The inquiry concluded that several suicides at the Newport News shipyard in Virginia last year were not connected or caused by any one issue. But the deaths underscored pervasive problems and poor living conditions, particularly among young enlisted sailors doing long-term ship maintenance at that base and others around the United States.
"The focus on the maintenance mission has degraded our ability to take care of our most junior and at-risk sailors," said the investigating officer, Rear Adm. Bradley Dunham, in his findings released Thursday. "This was not one seminal event, decision or individual’s action, this was a series of actions and decisions shared by many that resulted in the wholly unnecessary conditions and challenges our sailors face."
Navy leaders said they have taken a number of steps already to improve conditions at Newport News. Additional planned changes are broader and call for similar moves at other shipyards where the same problems exist. Recommended increases in sailor pay, housing benefits, food, health care, job choices and counseling would affect service members across the board.
In a memo accompanying the report, Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro and Adm. Mike Gilday, chief of naval operations, concluded that "collectively, Navy senior leadership, officer and civilian, let our standards slip — and in doing so we let our people down." They blamed it on "organizational drift" and a slow erosion of conditions over time that became unacceptable.

If you are a sailor living on the ship in a maintenance availability where your berthing area is ripped apart, you are basically homeless and your cash flow won’t pay for local housing.

[MAIL] The FBI has refused to say how many social media companies it works with, defending their actions after it emerged that agents from the bureau regularly met with Twitter executives and handed over lists of accounts they found questionable.
Officials from the bureau even asked for Twitter to hand over the locations from where the Twitter accounts were being operated, in a disturbing move that many saw as an attack on the First Amendment.
One user targeted by the FBI, who goes by @Lexitollah, said: 'Seems like prima facie 1A violation.'
Charlie Hurt, the opinion editor of The Washington Examiner, said it was 'a clear violation of the First Amendment.'
He told Tucker Carlson: 'They were actually opening up new back channels on platforms I've not heard of before, in order to keep in touch with one another.
'If this was happening during the Pentagon Papers, and we were seeing this level of collusion between the federal government and news, there would rightly be an outcry.'

I saw this morning that a lawsuit alleges that the FBI surveilled Americans over 278,000 (not a typo) times without the proper warrants.
If this is true (and the FBI response was not to deny it), it indicates that this goes to the very highest levels. Management might miss 1 or 200 such abuses...but there is no way in the world that they could have missed 278,000.

It's a tough neighborhood. You sure you wanna mess with these people?
[The Hill] NASA has chosen Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin to develop the lander for one of its missions that will send astronauts back to the moon.
The agency said in a Friday release the company will be responsible for designing, developing, testing and verifying its lander to meet NASA’s human landing system requirements for multiple expeditions to be used for its Artemis V mission.
The company will also have an uncrewed demonstration mission to the moon’s surface before a crewed demonstration on the Artemis V mission scheduled for 2029.
"We are in a golden age of human spaceflight, which is made possible by NASA’s commercial and international partnerships," NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said in the release. "Together, we are making an investment in the infrastructure that will pave the way to land the first astronauts on Mars."
The announcement also noted NASA previously set up a contract with Elon Musk’s SpaceX to demonstrate an initial human landing system for Artemis III — which is set to bring the first humans in half a century back to the moon’s surface in 2025 — and demonstrate a lander for Artemis IV.
NASA’s rocket will launch four astronauts into lunar orbit on the Orion spacecraft for Artemis V. The spacecraft will dock, and two of the astronauts will then go to Blue Origin’s human landing system for about a weeklong trip on the moon’s south pole area to "conduct science and exploration activities."
The release states adding another partner for the Artemis program will increase competition, reduce costs for taxpayers, support regular lunar landings, further invest in the "lunar economy" and help NASA achieve its goals on the moon to plan for future missions to Mars.
"Artemis V is at the intersection of demonstrating NASA’s initial lunar exploration capabilities and establishing the foundational systems to support recurring complex missions in lunar orbit and on the surface as part of the agency’s Moon to Mars exploration approach," the release states.
Which is the problem in the first place. Why are our tax dollars being used for these follies in the first place? If private industry wants to send things/people to the moon, then fine.
[Daily Caller] An FBI whistleblower said Thursday that he would not encourage other agents to come forward with allegations of wrongdoing, saying that their lives would be destroyed if they do so.
"I would tell them first to pray about it, long and hard," FBI agent Garret O’Boyle said in response to a question about how he would advise a fellow agent who might want to disclose wrongdoing. "And I would tell them I could take it to Congress for them, or I could put them in touch with Congress. But I would advise them not to do it."
O’Boyle had previously testified to the House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government that an indefinite FBI suspension left him and his family temporarily homeless. The FBI held his personal belongings and refused to release them as he and his family moved from Kansas to Virginia, he said. O’Boyle has alleged that the bureau improperly inflated case metrics, and that it targeted anti-abortion groups.
"So you would legitimately try to protect one of your colleagues from doing what you have done?" Republican North Dakota Rep. Kelly Armstrong clarified.
[WIRE] Montana GOP Governor Greg Gianforte discussed his decision to sign legislation banning China’s TikTok app, saying that the communist regime uses it to steal the data of American citizens and use it for "nefarious purposes."
"I would first say the ability of the Chinese communist government to use TikTok to spy on Americans is well documented," he told Fox News host John Roberts. "That’s why I’m pleased that we’ve banned the application here in Montana. I wish the bill actually was broader. I would have liked to have picked up other social media apps that [are] owned by foreign adversaries. But this is a good step in the right direction."
Gianforte slammed the leftist American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) for claiming that the bill was too broad and that his government could not impose a total ban.
"Well, they’re just wrong," he responded. "The Montana Constitution has a very broad protection for individual privacy. And TikTok violates that. And this is why we’ve banned it here. I mean, spying on Americans, enough is enough. We’re not going to let foreign adversaries surveil the people of Montana."

Uh, hey, gov, has it ever occurred to you that Americans are spying on Americans? Oh, I get it. Let's just have everybody use Farcebook & Twitter to keep things "in house".

TikTok spying is the least of worries. Having a hostile power control what your kids, as well as impressionable adults, see is a much larger risk. They can direct viewing toward increasing discord, self destructive behavior and every social pathology known. Notice the explosion of several such pathologies especially in the young recently?

I couldn't care less if social media platforms are out of Hanoi, Havana, or Hong Kong. These platforms should not be banned. But it's "o.k." for Zuckerberg to sell a user's personal information gleaned from Instagram accounts. Uh-huh.

While I see the threat TT poses and don't partake in viewing the TT site or app use.
Now as far as Gov. Workers and Staff using Gov systems.
I find that ban acceptable when there is a documented Security Issues at play.
But, I also have issues when any level of Government finds a way to get a toe in the door. Especially when some oppressive politicians feel they have the authority to determine what is acceptable to access and view.
So what is next? If the material itself exposes illegal activities, civil rights violations, Police State tactics, or is legal to view? But they havepolitical issues with the provider or source?
eg. FOX News exposing Election Fraud, Snowden exposing the Fed agency spying on private citizens, doing political spying for an opposing political party,and etc....

I would actually prefer that all the idjits using TikTok be allowed to keep doing so, as it distracts them from something potentially really bad like mucking up the service at some place I'm a customer of.
