Well isn’t this interesting. In the link there are links to stories about ISIS. Tass…. “The terror attack at the Crocus City Hall music venue in the Moscow suburb can be traced to Ukrainian special services and it is well known that the Kiev regime is fully controlled by the United States, Nikolay Patrushev said: vk.cc/cvUkpD” A reader respinse… ”ISIS already claimed this attack and it is NOT linked to Ukraine. The US warned Russia about a planned attack beforehand.” x.com/tassagency_en/status/1775472377901486509?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nw”Motr.. Nicholas. Kristof… ”Actually, the terror attack in Moscow can be traced to the incompetence of the Putin regime and to the regime's distraction as it tries to crush Ukrainians and dissidents alike, while ignoring a specific intelligence tip from the US of a terror attack planned for possibly that precise music hall.

Seems TFG 's bond poster, Don Hankey, had a major run in with his administration. The Daily Beast Wednesday uncovered a new link between Trump and Don Hankey, best known for running an empire of subprime car loans, that began with a settlement agreement after his company Westlake Services was accused of violating military employees' rights by repossessing their cars.Westlake settled the case with $700,000 in damages to the troops and about $61,000 in fines, the Daily Beast notes, but that didn't end its involvement with the Justice department. "While the government was monitoring Westlake’s compliance, the DOJ discovered new [Servicemembers Civil Relief Act] violations, forcing the firm to pay another $225,000 to settle those allegations in 2022," the Daily Beast reported. This was not the first time Hankey's company landed in hot water, the report noted. "Hankey, whose estimated $7.4 billion net worth outstrips Trump’s, made his fortune in the repo world, targeting low-income customers with high-interest auto loans," the report states. "In fact, two years before the DOJ sued Westlake and its wholly-owned subsidiary Wilshire under the SCRA, those same two entities were nailed by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for 'illegal debt collection tactics,' resulting in more than $44 million in restitution payouts and a civil fine of $4.25 million." www.rawstory.com/trump-s-bond-creditor-got-sued-by-his-own-administration-for-ripping-off-troops-report/He ripped off our troops, those who defend us and US!!

Hope this hasn't been posted yet.. There are two things going on with the whole truth social merger with DWAC... First: two Florida brothers have pled guilty to insider trading in SDNY. Two investors have pleaded guilty to an insider trading scheme related to the recent merger involving Trump Media and Technology Group, the parent company behind former President Donald Trump's Truth Social media platform. *** Michael and Gerald Shvartsman admitted in court that they received confidential, inside information about an upcoming merger between DWAC and Trump Media and used that information to make profitable, but illegal, open-market trades," said Williams in a prepared statement. "Insider trading is cheating, plain and simple, and today’s convictions should remind anyone who may be tempted to corrupt the integrity of the stock market that it will earn them a ticket to prison." www.rawstory.com/trump-media-2667675059/

Postolnikov is under investigation by the FBI. He is the nephew of Putin's buddy Smirnov. Smirnov I think was sanctioned or something, drawing a blank here.. Second: In the year before it went public last week, the Trump Media company was reportedly kept afloat financially thanks to emergency loans from a firm owned by a Russian-American businessman currently under investigation for money laundering. The Guardian reports that Truth Social received desperately needed cash infusions from an entity called ES Family Trust, which was established in 2021 and that essentially operated as a shell company for Anton Postolnikov, whom the report notes has been under "years-long joint federal criminal investigation by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) into the Trump Media merger." *** The report further notes that Postolnikov is the nephew of Aleksandr Smirnov, who is an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin. www.rawstory.com/truth-social-finances/

TFG has secretly met with MBS according to the NYT at least once! TFG has been cozy with the Saudis, he had no problem with the brutal murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi even after the CIA determined that MBS was responsible. Let us not forget Jared's $2 Billion windfall, with no experience. "This comes amid reporting on the Saudi government intending to work against Biden's re-election. It also comes as a major Saudi real estate developer has inked a deal with the Trump Organization for a villa and golf project worth $4 billion.Mr. Trump has other reasons to maintain warm relations with Prince Mohammed. The former president and Jared Kushner, his son-in-law and former senior White House adviser, established close ties with the crown prince while in office and have capitalized on that good will in their private businesses since leaving government," noted Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan. "Saudi Arabia was the first stop on Mr. Trump’s first foreign trip as president — a sign of the value Mr. Trump placed on the relationship. Mr. Trump pursued major deals with the Saudis, including arms sales, and he defended Prince Mohammed at his moment of greatest international pressure, after the C.I.A. concluded that the crown prince had ordered the killing of the dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018." www.rawstory.com/did-trump-sell-nuclear-secrets-to-saudis/

Here’s example of the Democrats defunding the police. Oh wait… Rep. Mike Thompson…. ”Our Dixon law enforcement put their lives on the line every day to keep our community safe. Proud to present the Dixon Police Department $500,000 to help provide our law enforcement the space they need to effectively do their jobs and keep our neighborhoods safe.” x.com/repthompson/status/1775939023912984977?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nwMike Thompson is my representative in Congress and this is why I continue to vote for him.

Great news.. poor Cancun Cruz is begging, on Hannity, for money. He is way behind in donations received by Colin Allred!! Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is reportedly scrambling to hold off a formidable challenge for his seat from the left. *** "The Democrats are coming after me, they are gonna spend more than $100 million this year, George Soros is already spending millions of dollars in the state of Texas,” he told the host Sean Hannity, and first reported by Rolling Stone. “My opponent, a liberal Democrat named Colin Allred, is out raising Beto O’Rourke, my last opponent, 3 to 1. They are flooding millions of dollars into Texas — and the reason is simple. You remember my last reelection, it was a 3-point race. I won by 2.6 percent. *** The senator was already trying to tamp down controversy involving iHeartMedia doling a $630,850 payment to the Cruz-affiliated super PAC, Truth and Courage. www.rawstory.com/democrats-ted-cruz-nervous/

But honestly I hope he keep blabbing about J6 because then he’ll draw votes away from Trump.

Like you left them in crisis and went on vacation. You voted repeatedly to remove women’s rights creating a space where multiple Texas women have had to fight for their lives by leaving Texas. What did you actually expect? Your just such a shitty senator that maybe IOKIYAR no longer holds true? I guess the election will tell. Raising money isn’t voting so we will see in Nov if Texas has reached it’s IOKIYAR limit. I hope they have. 🤞🏻

GOP is talking about holding the Key Bridge 'hostage' You bet.. let's wait years ... The far-right House Freedom Caucus is threatening to derail any federal funding legislation to rebuild the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore that was destroyed last week in a deadly accident. Their statement comes ahead of President Joe Biden's planned trip to visit the wreckage Friday afternoon, where he will deliver remarks scheduled for 2:30 PM ET. The pro-MAGA nationalist group, chaired by U.S. Rep. Bob Good (R-VA) (photo), who is fighting to retain his congressional seat, issued a statement demanding the insurance from "foreign shipping companies" should pay all costs to rebuild, before the federal government even "considers" appropriating any additional funds, rather than have the federal government be reimbursed by insurance.*** "Make it make sense," urged U.S. Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-CA). "House Republicans are insisting we resume liquified natural gas exports—which raise energy prices and hurt our climate—before *checks notes* reopening one of our nation’s busiest ports and a bridge that carries 11.3 million vehicles a year." Nicole Tardif, who has worked for several Republican members of Congress and several conservative organizations, blasted the House Freedom Caucus. " Nothing screams Freedom Caucus more than politicizing a tragedy that cost people their lives, continues to disrupt countless Americans’ livelihoods, and is wrecking havoc on supply chains. Closing out the statement with an irrelevant natural gas reference was a nice, subhuman touch. Pound sand."www.rawstory.com/hostage-house-gop-group-slammed-for-threat-to-derail-baltimore-bridge-rebuilding-funds-2667704859/

One more.... The far-right gets a lot of credit for concocting conspiracy theories linked to the highest level of government, but an earthquake near former President Donald Trump's golf Friday gave Democrats a chance to shine. Donald Trump’s National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, Friday was at the epicenter of a magnitude 4.8 earthquake that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) warned was a message from God to "repent." This spurred Trump biographer Tim O'Brien to reply, "Does MTG know the earthquake’s epicenter was a 12-minute drive from Trump’s Bedminster, NJ golf course?" Replied Eric Columbus, a former appointee of former President Barack Obama, "On Monday he’ll blot out the sun." www.rawstory.com/trump-bedminster-earthquake/

And the responses are not so nice... Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) posted on X Friday, in honor of families who lost a loved one serving in the Armed Forces. "Today, we honor our Gold Star Spouses whose loved ones made the ultimate sacrifice," Tuberville posted. "Our nation is forever indebted to you and your family. Thank you for your service, strength, and resilience." x.com/OldSoul3333/status/1776320124573589761x.com/BillSmitrovich/status/1776317056419504432*** "You of all people have no right to say anything to our military after you treated them and their leadership so shabbily," wrote the account @donnaresist, which identified herself as an Air Force brat, on Friday.

Eagle Pass TX had their whole First US Sighting Eclipse Event spoiled by Gov Abbott at great expense!! They had been planning for a long while The local economy of Eagle Pass, Texas was all set to rake in a huge financial windfall this weekend, when the town was expected to play host to tens of thousands of visitors eager to be the first in the U.S. to see Monday's solar eclipse. Instead, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott's ongoing border standoff with the federal government ended up scaring most tourists away. According to the Daily Beast, Aide Castano — the municipality's marketing and tourism director — told a meeting of the local Rotary Club last year that the town of 28,000 residents could expect to see its population temporarily swell to more than 100,000 people on the first weekend of April for the eclipse boom. The city scheduled a music festival to take place dubbed the "57 South Music Festival" set to last three nights, featuring 17 bands on two separate stages. *** Meanwhile, the intimidating presence of troops and razor wire at the Rio Grande ended up scuttling the original plans for the 57 South Music Festival in Eagle Pass for the weekend of the solar eclipse. The Beast reported that the location for the festival was moved to the Kickapoo Lucky Eagle Casino, which is a 20-minute drive by car. As a result of the change, tickets for the festival dropped significantly in price. And at a March 14 town hall meeting, the town lowered their expectations for eclipse visitors from more than 100,000 to approximately 50,000. Garcia-Grewell, the Eagle Pass resident, recalled to the Beast that she was told the city spent roughly $3.5 million on the festival, yet sold only 2,500 tickets. She further elaborated that the city would have had to sell tickets at $1,400 apiece just to break even when accounting for the total cost. The 57 South Music Festival kicked off Friday afternoon, though crowds were sparse. Local music producer Tony Rodriguez said that he counted just 30 people at 4 PM local time, and only 150 people by 6 o'clock. "The worst flop ever," he said. *** "The State of Texas is making it look like a war zone, even though we’re one of the safest places in Texas,” she said. “And the city of Eagle Pass was not able to counter that. They won’t say anything against the state of Texas because Eagle Pass is so dependent on state funding." www.rawstory.com/abbott-texas-eclipse-ruined/
