Now we know the real reason dumpster don didn’t go to the Capitol on 1/6. I mean the man is a coward.
Mueller, She Wrote…
”BREAKING: Trump knew the insurrectionists were armed before they breached the Capitol. His lead secret service agent testified under oath that he told him.”

My guess is they came to visit because if one believes the hints Putin gave in that so called interview with Carlson, if Putin is successful in Ukraine, Poland is next on his laundry list of countries to invade. So they are looking for shows of support from NATO countries. President Biden… “During my meeting today with President Duda and Prime Minister Tusk, we again made clear that the United States and Poland proudly stand with Ukraine in the face of Russia’s brutal war of conquest.” x.com/potus/status/1767709667600257402?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nw |

But we know!!! Presidential Records Act (PRA) of 1978 The Presidential Records Act (PRA) of 1978, 44 U.S.C. ß2201-2209, governs the official records of Presidents and Vice Presidents that were created or received after January 20, 1981 (i.e., beginning with the Reagan Administration). The PRA changed the legal ownership of the official records of the President from private to public, and established a new statutory structure under which Presidents, and subsequently NARA, must manage the records of their Administrations. The PRA was amended in 2014, which established several new provisions. Specifically, the PRA: * Establishes public ownership of all Presidential records and defines the term Presidential records. * Requires that Vice-Presidential records be treated in the same way as Presidential records. * Places the responsibility for the custody and management of incumbent Presidential records with the President. * Requires that the President and his staff take all practical steps to file personal records separately from Presidential records. * Allows the incumbent President to dispose of records that no longer have administrative, historical, informational, or evidentiary value, once the views of the Archivist of the United States on the proposed disposal have been obtained in writing. * Establishes in law that any incumbent Presidential records (whether textual or electronic) held on courtesy storage by the Archivist remain in the exclusive legal custody of the President and that any request or order for access to such records must be made to the President, not NARA. * Establishes that Presidential records automatically transfer into the legal custody of the Archivist as soon as the President leaves office.* Establishes a process by which the President may restrict and the public may obtain access to these records after the President leaves office; specifically, the PRA allows for public access to Presidential records through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) beginning five years after the end of the Administration, but allows the President to invoke as many as six specific restrictions to public access for up to twelve years. * Codifies the process by which former and incumbent Presidents conduct reviews for executive privilege prior to public release of records by NARA (which had formerly been governed by Executive order 13489). * Establishes procedures for Congress, courts, and subsequent Administrations to obtain “special access” to records from NARA that remain closed to the public, following a privilege review period by the former and incumbent Presidents; the procedures governing such special access requests continue to be governed by the relevant provisions of E.O. 13489. * Establishes preservation requirements for official business conducted using non-official electronic messaging accounts: any individual creating Presidential records must not use non-official electronic messaging accounts unless that individual copies an official account as the message is created or forwards a complete copy of the record to an official messaging account. (A similar provision in the Federal Records Act applies to federal agencies.) * Prevents an individual who has been convicted of a crime related to the review, retention, removal, or destruction of records from being given access to any original records. Presidential Records Act 1978 Presidential Records Act (PRA) Presidential Records are covered by the PRA.

Biden reported and did everything voluntary including sitting for two days of interviews. TFG refused to return them for months even tho NARA requested the returns. TFG hide them, lied to everyone. FBI had to executed a search warrant to recover boxes and documents. Even then he did not return all and lied to his lawyers about it. And the list goes on!! |

Well this is interesting. Netanyahu is a dick who’s “take no prisoners” attitude with no compassion has made a very bad situation worse. Josh Marshall… “Netanyahu crew escalating against Biden on all fronts” The Jerusalem Post… “The Biden administration is attempting to overthrow Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, a senior Israeli political official said on Tuesday night.”From the article…. “US trying to overthrow Netanyahu’s government, senior Israeli official says” “A diplomatic feud has grown between Netanyahu and Biden over Netanyahu's Gaza policies. The Biden administration is attempting to overthrow Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, a senior Israeli political official said on Tuesday night. “We expect our friends to act to overthrow the terror regime of Hamas and not the elected government in Israel,” the official said, in reaction to the annual Threat Assessment report which warned that Netanyahu’s coalition could be replaced by a more moderate one. Netanyahu’s viability as leader as well as his governing collation of far-right and ultra-orthodox parties that pursue hardline policies on Palestinian and security issues may be in doubt,” the US said in the report.
“Distrust of Netanyahu’s ability to rule has deepened and broadened across the public from its already high levels before the war,” it stated.
“We expect large protests demanding his resignation and new elections. A different, more moderate government is a possibility,” the report stated.
The senior official retorted that “Israeli citizens, and not anyone else, elect the prime minister. Israel is not a protectorate of the US but an independent and democratic country whose citizens are the ones who choose the government.”
Rift between Netanyahu, Biden grows
The 41-page report was compiled in February and published only on March 11, as a diplomatic feud has grown between Netanyahu and Biden over Netanyahu's Gaza policies.
It began in earnest on Thursday when Biden was overheard saying that there needs to be a “come to Jesus meeting” with Netanyahu. It was followed by his comments to MSNBC on Sunday in which he stated that Netanyahu’s policies were harming Israel.
The comments, which fell in line with those in the report, come as Biden’s reelection campaign is heating up, with voters in the left flank of the Democratic Party accusing the President of supporting genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
Attacks against Netanyahu, allow Biden to cater to voters opposed to the war while allowing him to maintain his strong support for Israel and its people.
In a virtual address to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, Netanyahu said on Tuesday, “I deeply appreciate, the support we've received from President Biden and the administration and I hope it will continue.”

But this isn't just because the case against Biden is so weak. It's also because the parallel case against Trump is so strong.

The Republicans in Congress go on and on and on about drugs, specifically fentanyl, coming across the border. If they care so much one would think they would want to do what they could to stop it. Right? Wrong! Gavin Newsom…. ”As @gop screams “BORDER CRISIS!”… Here’s what they are doing to help: NOTHING. Actually, worse than nothing. Machines that could stop the flow of fentanyl across our border are now literally sitting in warehouses. Unused. Not installed. All thanks to the fine leadership of @speakerjohnson, going above and beyond the call of Donald Trump.” In the link there is an NBC blurb that says the machines, that could scan for fentanyl, are sitting in a warehouse because Congress hasn’t provided the cash to install them. x.com/gavinnewsom/status/1767943077514363183?s=61&t= |

Jason Miller says the Trump campaign just wants to make sure the RNC is being smart with donor money”I don't believe anything from Jason Miller, who is even slimier than TFG's usual microphone moths, but TFG's daughter-in-law has repeatedly said that any funds the RNC gets are going to his legal bills. They're probably back-peddling because they're getting blowback from now-former donors. |

GOP up to no good yet again!! They'll say ok today, but wait when they're seated they will go for a national ban!! House Republicans believe the only problem with their policy on abortion is “branding” — and now, they say, they’re ready to face it head-on. *** The majority of Americans support varying degrees of abortion rights, with only 8%, saying it should be banned entirely, according to an Economist/YouGov poll. Three out of four Americans (76%) say the issue of abortion is important to them. It ranks number nine on the list of issues important to Americans. The official platform of the Republican Party, which appears as a link on the RNC’s “About” page, states: “The unborn child has a fundamental right to life which cannot be infringed.”Simply stated, that would appear to support, if not require, a complete ban abortion. 00:19 But now, The Journal reports, “Republicans leading the party’s effort to defend the House in this fall’s elections are pushing GOP colleagues to openly discuss their positions on abortion, rather than try to sidestep the issue.” “A memo prepared by House Republicans’ campaign arm and viewed by The Wall Street Journal says Republicans have a ‘brand problem, not a policy problem,’ as their reluctance to discuss the issue left it to Democrats to define where the GOP stood,” The Journal reports. Congressman Richard Hudson, a pro-Trump “America First” Republican from North Carolina, is the chair of the National Republican Congressional Committee. He plans to share the memo, “with his colleagues on Wednesday night at one of the kickoff events for the party’s three-day retreat in West Virginia.” That memo “recommend that members express empathy for women, discuss ‘common sense’ solutions and push back on what it calls Democrats’ extremism on the issue.”The GOP retreat is expected to be attended by less than half of the House Republican conference, with one member telling a reporter, “I’d rather sit down with Hannibal Lecter and eat my own liver,” than attend the retreat. Local North Carolina newspaper the Sandhills Sentinel in 2018 reported Congressman Hudson, “Staunchly opposes abortion and voted for repealing the Affordable Care Act.” “His wife, Renee, serves as Chief of Staff for Kellyanne Conway; a high-profile counselor to President Donald Trump.” Meanwhile, The Journal adds, “More than half of the GOP conference had signed on to a bill defining a ‘human being’ as beginning at ‘the moment of fertilization, cloning, or other moment at which an individual member of the human species comes into being.’ “That had raised questions about where the party stood on in vitro fertilization, used by many American couples who struggled to conceive children.” Responding to The Journal’s report, Democratic communications consultant Jared Leopold writes: “The ‘new’ 2024 House GOP strategy on abortion is: 1. go on offense 2. discuss “common-sense” solutions.” He adds, “That was Gov. Youngkin’s 2023 strategy. Republicans lost the Virginia House.” www.rawstory.com/internal-memo-urges-gop-to-fix-branding-problem-by-talking-more-about-controversial-topi/ |

This from a frequent Russian visitor. Interesting cannot remember where I read or heard it, but someone was talking about how TFG was all for shutting TicToc down as did many of his 'friends' but now he and they want it left alone. Maybe because TFG, MTG, Daines, Cruz(?) et are in cohorts with supporting Russia??

Oh!! Look what just popped up.... Former Trump Secretary of the Treasury Steve Mnuchin announced Thursday he is putting together a group of investors to buy the highly-influential social media platform TikTok, and it immediately raised red flags.A House Republican-sponsored bill to force the sale to a U.S. company passed by a wide, bipartisan margin on Wednesday. If it passes in the Senate, and President Joe Biden signs it, Mnuchin, like Elon Musk and Donald Trump, could be in charge of a company whose algorithms affect what information Americans see, how that information is framed, and by whom. Mnuchin just last week said he would be open to working in a second Trump administration. *** The House bill, which passed in a 352-65 vote, was sponsored by U.S. Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI). Explaining what he said was the need for the legislation, which would ban TikTok in the U.S. if it is not sold to an American company, is its strong impact on younger Americans. *** "Mnuchin was in the admin[istration] when Trump initially sought to ban TikTok from U.S. app stores. He argued back then that it should be sold to a U.S. company, while others advocated for an outright ban," noted CNN's Kaitlin Collins. Critics are expressing great concern. "If you're worried about what the Chinese might do with that video of your puppy wait until you see what a Trump Administration would do with the intel community, law enforcement, your privacy rights, to anyone who spoke out against him, in coordination w/right wing tech moguls," warned foreign policy, national security, and political affairs analyst and commentator David Rothkopf. Media Matters' Andrew Lawrence sarcastically wrote on X, "rest easy everyone, instead of china exploiting your info itll just be a bunch of former trump admin goblins doing it instead." He added, "i dont think congress should force an influential social media app to be sold to their political cronies." BBC political political analyst Mary Anne Marsh wrote, also sarcastically, "Oh, so the Saudis and China can control @tiktok_us. No national security concerns whatsoever…I mean the Saudis only gave Mnuchin $1 billion then gave @jaredkushner $2 billion when they walked out of the @whitehouse…" *** Harvard Law Cyberlaw Clinic Instructor Alejandra Caraballo posited, "Ask yourself why Republicans keep lining up to try and buy Tiktok. Larry Ellison at Oracle, Bobby Kotick, and now Trump treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin. They want to weaponize it to push conservative views like Elon and Dems are complicit in it." Democratic strategist and senior advisor to former Obama cabinet secretary Julian Castro said, "Democrats shouldn’t help Republicans force the sale of another major media platform to right-wing billionaires."www.rawstory.com/red-flags-raised-over-ex-trump-officials-tiktok-bid/www.c-span.org/video/?c5110055/user-clip-mike-gallagher |

Now Nancy Mace steps into....
Rep. Nancy Mace delivered a subtle interpretation of the U.S. Constitution Wednesday on par with Clarence Darrow's impassioned First Amendment defense of John Thomas Scopes.
"It's not the role of government to ban apps from the App Store," Mace told CNN. "No where in our Constitution does it say that."

Apparently trump’s lawyers din’t understand what this means…
”In 1978, Congress passed the Presidential Records Act (PRA), which states that any records created or received by the President as part of his constitutional, statutory, or ceremonial duties are the property of the United States government and will be managed by NARA at the end of the administration.“
Kyle Griffin…
“In the classified docs hearing, Trump attorney Todd Blanche argues "presidents since George Washington have taken materials out of the White House" at "their own discretion."
But Judge Cannon seems skeptical of the defense's argument: "It's difficult to see how this gets you to the dismissal of an indictment."
She says this motion is where the Trump team's argument begins to "falter." @msnbc”

Regrettably, probably an accurate prediction And on point #2, I heard the exact words from LA Senator Kennedy this morning on that "F" channel. Also, how it gave too much advantage to any president. "Why, they could start to choose random apps and have them banned". I'm paraphrasing. I had to stop my grumbling at the TV to make sure who was saying what. And then my DD sent me a text that AOC, Rand Paul AND MTG were all agreeing that TT shouldn't be banned and that was crazy and hell must have frozen over. I sent back and that is why my office was so cold this morning. |

GOP the party of fiscal responsibility? Sure, NOT!! When members of the U.S. House of Representatives are sworn into Congress, they are given a pin as a symbol of their membership. That pin, in the past, was green. But according to Politico’s E&E News, the House Republican majority spent a reported $40,000 to replace it with a pin that had a different color — as they thought the word "green" sounded too liberal.The article published Friday reported, "Behind the decision to throw out the pin issued to 435 lawmakers: politics. Republicans believed that the outgoing Democratic majority of the 117th Congress picked the bright green color in honor of the Green New Deal, a progressive policy conservatives revile." Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-CA) acknowledges that fellow House Republicans ditched the pin for strictly political reasons. Dumain quotes the GOP lawmaker as saying, "I heard some guys and gals grumbling that it's an environmental tribute or something like that — which, hey, I like the color green, I have a lot of John Deere equipment in that color. But those of us in resource-based districts get really tired of how big environment groups are already kicking our heads in over how bad we are.… I think there's some fatigue about the environment being used as a weapon."Meanwhile, Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), meanwhile, confirmed to E&E News that the color green was picked for the pin because of its environmental connotation. www.rawstory.com/gop-spends-40k-to-change-color-of-congress-pin-because-green-is-too-liberal/ |
