Mark Lorenzo Villanueva, 28, of Long Beach, was arrested this morning on a federal complaint charging him with sending a dozen payments totaling more than $1,600 to ISIS, a foreign terrorist organization responsible for countless deaths across multiple continents”
Curious about this.
Hey Bunu, when you send payments to ISIS how do you do it, do you just write ISIS on the check or do you direct debit from your accournt?
The purported “pressure campaign” is likely the new DOJ probe into election practices. Here’s the Fox News version out this AM –
excerpt-
Attorney General Pam Bondi has directed Department of Justice (DOJ) officials to probe election practices throughout the country as part of the Trump administration’s efforts to crack down on federal election laws.
The DOJ’s Civil Rights Division is largely leading the effort, which has involved seeking information from states about their election practices and voter registration lists, sometimes known as “voter rolls,” and placing an emphasis on identifying any noncitizens on them.
“Election integrity starts with clean voter rolls. That’s the foundation for secure elections,” a DOJ source told Fox News. “There’s been a culture of noncompliance from several states that don’t keep their roles updated. This DOJ is cracking down.”
A sad moment for the Senate and the country. Republicans just confirmed Jeanine Pirro as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. Yes, the same Judge Jeanine that even Fox News said was “crazy” and had to take off the air. How can they vote to confirm these people?”
We got back today from a three day relaxing time in the mountains of WV. We were invited by good friends to join them and another couple of long-time friends at their beautiful second home and a 14 acre parcel they bought last April. Stunning views from the mountain top.
We had a wonderful time. But we did have an adventure this morning when I discovered a 56″ rattlesnake coiled up right beside the home next to deck and between the house and vehicles in the driveway. Thick snake. 8 rattles. The guy who owns the property was the one who did the snake in with a hoe and a shovel. The decapitated snake body was still moving over an hour after it had its head removed. We buried the head and put a big stone slab over it so critters would not dig it up.
“In a lengthy post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump accused Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., of “demanding over One Billion Dollars in order to approve a small number of our highly qualified nominees.”
“This demand is egregious and unprecedented, and would be embarrassing to the Republican Party if it were accepted. It is political extortion, by any other name,” Trump said. “Tell Schumer, who is under tremendous political pressure from within his own party, the Radical Left Lunatics, to GO TO HELL!”
“Do not accept the offer,” he continued. “Go home and explain to your constituents what bad people the Democrats are, and what a great job the Republicans are doing, and have done, for our Country. Have a great RECESS and, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”
Sometimes have billions can’t save you from a bee sting.
“Sunjay Kapur, a prominent billionaire businessman, passed away on Thursday, June 12. He was 53, and died after collapsing during a polo match in Windsor, England.
According to reports from The Telegraph and The Mirror, Kapur died from anaphylactic shock, believed to have been triggered by a bee sting to the mouth during the match.”
The Senate ruined C-Span 2 today with its deliberations. Saturday is supposed to be history day. Lectures on Martin Van Buren, the Civil War and George Washington were preempted.
Senator John Fetterman Shows He’s a Better Man than Most Democrats by Praising Trump’s Trade Deals”
Zzzzzzz…
What a bunch of crap.
Fetterman is a union guy doing what every Democrat used to do, advocate for protectionism and isolationism. It has been the failed AFL-CIO agenda for the last 80 years.
Nothing new here.
What is new is that Rs are now protectionists and isolationists.
UPDATE: It has just been revealed that Senate Democrats wanted a BILLION DOLLARS in exchange for confirming Trump’s nominees. Trump SAID NO. Now, Senator Mullin says they plan to CHANGE THE RULES to fast track his nominees in September.
Were we biased? Yes. Almost inadvertently, I’d say. ABC News has the same problem so many leading cultural institutions do in America: A lack of viewpoint…
Investigators alleged that those involved had refined a scheme over the past two years to systematically siphon off budget funds allocated by local authorities for defense needs, and to secure “unfair benefits in particularly large quantities.”
This probably is why the anti-corruption agencies were first dismantled, only to be brought back after the massive street demonstrations erupted with public dissent. Many on this blog have questioned the disbursement of Ukrainian aid. Now we know there was a reason to do so. A genuine audit would have been helpful as well to have avoided this fraud.
janzam should be honest and admit her only problem with Ukraine military aid is that it has been extremely effective in keeping her hero Putin from conquering all of Ukraine.
I cannot stress to you enough how earth-shattering it would be for the Supreme Court to strike down Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. The electoral cornerstone of the Postwar Liberal Consensus would be gone overnight, and with it, the Democratic Party’s ability to contest the House of Representatives as we know it. Between this and the potential mid-decade redistricting in a few other GOP-controlled states, Democrats would not be able to flip back the House of Representatives even if they ruthlessly gerrymandered every Republican out of California.
Jason, corruption is corruption. Just like in the newly released Russiagate docs showing fraud and a cover-up of that fraud. The same is now being put on display in Ukraine, by the anti-corruption agencies the government initially tried to close down. Your constant Putin distraction simply has no validity except to extend arguments here.
janzam, who for years here tries to distract from Putin’s war crimes and indiscriminate killing, rape, torture, displacement, exile, and kidnapping of innocent civilians by repeating Kremlin talking points and whining about “audits” talks about “distractions”?
Little Russia lapdog janzam talks about “corruption” in Ukraine, but her model for clean government Russia is actually 154/180 in corruption, near rock bottom.
“At a state legislative hearing on Thursday, lawmakers heard the Kerr County judge, emergency management coordinator (EMC) and sheriff appear to make excuses, explain that they were asleep, on vacation, or sick, and couldn’t have anticipated a catastrophic flood event – and hadn’t prepared for any flood event at all – The Center Square reported.
After they testified, legislators heard Kendall County Judge Shane Stolarczyk explain in detail the preparations officials began taking on July 3, including actively monitoring weather systems all night. They weren’t sleeping and weren’t out of town. An evacuation order was issued in Comfort and along the river and no one died.”
Kerr County’s lackadaisical response to the recent Texas flood reminds me of our officials in Los Angeles tackled the January fires in Palisades and Altadena.
jason, you’re truly unreal in your arguments with people. There is no rationale to your posts. All you seem to want to do is plant fictitious, projected accusations on people, so you can take opposite sides and then call them names.
“We may be dealing with NEGATIVE NET MIGRATION to the United States in 2025. That would be the first time there is negative net migration in this country in at least 50 years — we’re talking about down from 2.8 million in 2024.”
SENATOR MIKE LEE: “The Senate shouldn’t be recessing for August with nearly 160 [President Trump] nominees on the confirmation backlog.” Fact check: TRUE. Now we have to wait 30 days. And that’s IF the Senate GOP can actually get it done in September.
The 80s and 90s were a fun musical period with great songs. I like the 40s through 70s, too. My wife would rank the Eagles, CCR, Jackson Brown, and Fleetwood Mac above my preferences of The Hooters, Goo Goo Dolls, U2, Pat Benetar and Bryan Adams.
Also, institute a “privilege impact fee” on all noncitizens for all the protections, benefits, opportunities, etc. they get just by being physically present in the U.S.
