    I'm curious why it's the CIA all of a sudden, and not the USN or other DOD military, making these strikes.

    I have thought all along that it would be CIA doing these things because they're used to being lawless. And outside the military chain of command.

    But there are state universities located in those cities.

    Actually known as California State University, _____________.

    Although they certainly seem to be all-in on the ___________ State, but that's not the official name.. It doesn't seem to be like SUNY, where everything Is now ________ University.

    I’m admittedly behind on this situation due to the holidays and what-not. But I was reading a bunch of rebuttals on this on Threads last night. Was this situation already being addressed/prosecuted by Biden’s DOJ as many of those posters were saying? Or is this something completely different?

    I say all of that with full knowledge that if the right-wingy blogosphere/influencers world is pumping it incessantly, it’s likely BS talking points — and a means to distract from Dementia Donny’s Epstein involvement.

    Yes.

    It's not a new thing. It is being politicized.

    It's just too convenient: you got Minnesota and Walz, Ilhan Omar, dark brown immigrants, some of whom are on TPS. It's a quadfecta for Trump.

    Folks, sometimes things are as they seem and one needs to surrender to reality before deciding that the NYT is being manipulated by Trump and tricksy Somaliland activists.

    It should surprise absolutely no one that an insular, clannish set of first and second generation immigrants from a notoriously corrupt and crime-ridden locale, who are virtually all dependent on state welfare, have become the focus of massive welfare corruption in a high-openness, high-social safety net society. This sort of thing is replicable against time and space.

    The comparisons to Italians are hilarious because all of that was completely true! Generations of overlapping clan/criminal networks completely took over entire public and semi-public activities in northern cities and hid within an ethic community thanks to a combination of fear, mistrust of the outside, clannishness and cultural solidarity. Those networks bought and installed local politicians, and even legit politicians were afraid to take it on because of the power of the groups and voting blocs. The Feds had to engage in generational crackdowns to get a handle on it and the same deflections got tossed out.

    I can agree that the DJT tactic is distasteful and politically motivated. Success against other similar crime rings and phenomena depended on a pathway to pull ordinary people out of insularity and into the mainstream and things have gotten toxic because the right doesn’t want to allow in and influential swathes of the modern left has determined that actively pushing for integration and assimilation is violence.

    Both things can be true.

    It's funny though, how Italian-Americans survived anarchist and mafioso stereotypes to essentially flourish here.

    Anyone want to hazard a guess how Somali-Americans are going to weather such stereotyping?

    "We have charged 98 individuals in relation to fraud in Minnesota. More than 60 have pled guilty or been convicted. More to come," the department said on the US social media company X’s platform.

    How do they have convictions already? That is one fast process if true.

    Because this whole deal has been going on for years. One of the reasons the numbers are so large is they are cumulative over nearly a decade.

    The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind and Fundamentalism and American Culture are sober, critical, but not jeremiad culture war examinations of Evangelicalism and fundamentalism in America, including how to tell them apart. Highly recommend. These are serious histories and not tracts. I honestly don’t know of any serious studies of Prosperity Gospel stuff. It was pretty new when I was doing my religion reading.

    For a peek behind the veil, The Late Great Planet Earth is deeply influential and insane and a direct line to the conspiratorial, politically chapter apocalyptic version of fundamentalism we have today, and Rick Warren’s The Purpose Driven Life for a more meaningful look at what mainstream Evangelicals actually consume and aspire to.

    I am not Evangelical, BTW. And Anastasis is basically right that almost any unusual church with no clear denomination you see is basically just Baptists in a different costume. Sometimes you get lucky and it’s something fun, like a holiness inspired bunch.

    Down the road the real growth industry is in the Spanish speaking Evangelical and holiness groups. Everyone is in for some interesting times.

    Ay Dios mio.

    But he's sharing the stage with BB Nuttyahoo, ostensibly something about Israel or peace or some shit. The Israel Prize, something.

    Yet he's blathering about the Fed renovation and his stupid-ass ballroom.

    Don't know her but I was at UVA undergrad. Didn't get in as a non-resident (and finished law school in 1990).

    She also apparently is spelling impaired. Weaponazation?

    Oh shit that's right, sorry.

    It did?

    I don't think Brits have the same general level of affection for Israel that Americans do.

    First, Israel killed quite a few Brits on the way in; second, they generally lack the species of fundagelicals that believe Israel's existence essential to the second coming.

    So, their Nazis continue to be raging anti-Semites, while ours are only partial anti-Semites.

  10. So, it seems this stems from the unsolved murder of a PI named Daniel Morgan in 1987.

    The ensuing investigations seem to have been a complete clusterfuck. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Daniel_Morgan

    Starmer was involved in dismissing a large prosecution against suspects.

    A big independent report was released in 2021 that has several footnotes referencing rumors of Freemasonry tainting the investigation, none of which seem to have any basis in fact. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/60c89983d3bf7f4bd4662c62/_HC_11-I__-_The_Report_of_the_Daniel_Morgan_Independent_Panel__Volume_1_.pdf

    This looks like an almost Trumpian deflection effort by Starmer to "do something."

  11. Some context to the above.

    Trumpco is running up investigations against Brennan and others relating to the "Russia Hoax," all of which occurred in the 2016-2017 timeframe, long past any statute of limitations.

    They're also doing it out of Florida and angling to try to get it in front of Cannon. Well, none of the defendants reside in Florida or did at the time of any alleged offense, and no element of the offense occurred in Florida, so there is no way a criminal case could be properly venued there.

    Grisly detail. https://justthenews.com/sites/default/files/2025-12/BrennanAltongaLetter12-22-25.pdf

  12. Also,

    She apparently thinks there/s a discovery rule on the federal criminal statute of limitations.

    Except as otherwise expressly provided by law, no person shall be prosecuted, tried, or punished for any offense, not capital, unless the indictment is found or the information is instituted within five years next after such offense shall have been committed.

    Dumbfuck. UVa Law 1993. @DDD Dad ?

    Remember how all the Trumpists constantly freak out about "THA DEEP STATE!!!!"?

    I remember.

    Add it to the pile of shit they were never actually concerned about, and are truly just fine with, so long as their Orange God is doing it.

    They have no principles. None. Not a single one. Other than "whatever the Orange God wills." They are a demon-worshipping cult of hate and pain. And they are going to bring around the end of civilization and possibly humanity. Yay.

    But Jack Smith subpoenaed Congressional phone calls from January 6!

    So is he receiving injections in both hands?

    Most likely.

    When you're getting infusions or IV drugs, the veins in one arm, hand, whatever, tend to "collapse," so you have to go hunting for other places.

    Things probably aren't really bad for him or they'd have installed a pic port to avoid that problem.

    It could also be ease of bruising due to blood thinners, which actually might make the handshake thing make sense, along with any other "contact." That is, hit your hand on something, get an ugly bruise.

    Crypto has its uses as well. You do realize neural networks and language models have existed for decades? The only new thing is dumping money and throwing all the data at it. Its a scam because none of what they are doing will result in something that actually makes more money than it takes to do the work. That's just on training. Inference is also a huge loser. 

    So if you can't make money making the model, and you can't make money running the model, then where do you make the money? 

    Fucking people in the ass, Larry.
