Equal reporting here.. A wealthy Democratic congressman violated federal law by tardily disclosing tens of millions of dollars in government securities and stock trades ā nearly a year late in some cases, according to a new congressional financial filling. Rep. David Trone (D-MD) reported 28 transactions involving short-term U.S. Treasury bills and a stock sale, valued between $21.65 million and $97.35 million total.The transactions took place between April 18, 2023 and November 16, 2023, some nearly a year past a federally mandated 45-day financial disclosure deadline. Taken together, Troneās late disclosures rank among the largest in recent years among members of Congress, based on investigations by Raw Story, Business Insider, the New York Times and other news organizations. www.rawstory.com/raw-investigates/david-trone-money/He needed it. He spent over 60 million of his own money on his campaign, which he lost. Heāll leave Congress with a slap on the wrist. I think itās disgusting the amount of money these politicians spend on campaigns when there are so many worthy causes that would be thrilled to get just a fraction of it. |

He stops talking about 2:40 in the speech video... youtu.be/67wgFJNLu-o?si=YIbZMRHerlIb5zXMHe gives this whole segment talking about the settlers etc.... but he forgets that the settlers were originally Mexicans/Spanish ... became the Independent Republic of Texas in 1836, and the 28th state in 1845 to secession in 1861.ā¦ |

Iran President and Foreign Minister were on a helicopter that had a hard landing or crashed hours ago near Azerbaijan. Search and rescue have been searching in remote area for the site... it was a three helicopter convoy. The other two returned safely. *** A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has suffered a āhard landingā, state television reported, as officials said extensive search operations were under way but were being impeded by poor weather conditions. Iranian state media said the crash occurred on Sunday near Jolfa in Iranās East Azerbaijan province, in the north of the country. *** The Iranian Red Crescent said it deployed more than 40 separate teams to the region where the incident took place, Serdar also reported. www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/5/19/helicopter-carrying-irans-president-suffers-hard-landing-state-tv |

They think they have pinpointed the location of the crash site. It is night, very foggy, only about 10' of visibility....
Of course being Iran, who knows what is true!
UPDATED: 10:56pm EDT. They have located to wreckage. They have not released any other info.
11:10: There are NO survivors ...
I truly hope no one feuding in the Middle East had anything to do with downing the helicopter

Boy are we in trouble. I mean serious trouble. The Daily Show interviewed some trump supporters.
And.
1. One guy blamed President Obama for 9/11 because was not in the Oval
Office on 9/11 because he was always on vacation.
2. Even with a US birth certificate one canāt prove President Obama was born in the US.
3. One lady said maybe if there were witnesses to the birth that would be proof Obama was born in the US. So the interviewer said like his mother and the person said no she has motivation to lie. So the interviewer brought up trump and said his mother couldnāt be a witness to his birth and she oh yes she can and he no by her own logic with President Obamaās birth. The person didnāt have an answer for that.
Unbelievable

That person wouldn't even be able to find his way to a poll to vote! Same with the person who said # 2 and 3. Given that Daily Show is on Comedy Central, I am hoping that these were just fictitious skits to showcase just how dumb trump supporters really are. If not, you're right. We are in serious trouble! |

Interesting what TFG is willing to talk about.. He was listing those, everyone, who says the NYS trial is a sham case.. Oh my, Dershowitz was on Epstein's island where he didn't see TFG??..??..?? "Everybody ā Alan Dershowitz ā everybody says thereās no crime here,ā Donald Trump said ahead of the Manhattan criminal trial on Thursday. āThereās no crime. Jonathan Turley, every single person, Gregg Jarrett, Andy McCarthy, anyone you want to name, Mark Levin, great lawyer, all of them. Great lawyers, great legal scholars, every single one said thereās no crime. The crime is that theyāre doing this case.ā As MSNBC pointed out, his "every lawyer" is actually only the Fox legal contributors. Some of those lawyers joined him in court Monday along with Republican lawmakers. One of those, Dershowitz, was specifically quoted by Trump as he explained, "He says right here. To the best of my knowledge, I do not recall seeing Donald Trump on Epstein's private island."www.rawstory.com/trump-trial-new-york-post/ |

Well great... That's all we need....NOT! He was acquitted after his impeachment. Seems he settled his securities fraud charges. I will post a link below. Donald Trump, in a new interview, said that he would consider Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to be the next Attorney General in Trump's cabinet if Trump were to be elected President in November. In an interview with a KDFW-TV reporter, Trump was asked whether he would consider Paxton as his next Attorney General. In response, Trump called Paxton a "very talented guy" stating: meidasnews.com/news/donald-trump-will-consider-texas-attorney-general-ken-paxton-for-attorney-general*** HOUSTON (AP) ā Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Tuesday agreed to pay nearly $300,000 in restitution under a deal to end criminal securities fraud charges that have shadowed the Republican for nearly a decade. The announcement by special prosecutors in a Houston courtroom came less than three weeks before Paxton was set to stand trial on felony charges that could have led to a prison sentence. It was the closest Paxton ā who was indicted in 2015 ā has ever come to trial over accusations that he duped investors in a tech startup near Dallas. www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/texas-attorney-general-ken-paxton-makes-deal-to-end-securities-charges-weeks-before-trialMerge |

Here is Netanyahu getting all indignant because of what the ICC has doneā¦ The Recountā¦ āIsraeli PM Netanyahu on the ICC chief prosecutor applying for his arrest warrant: āThat's like saying after 9/11, 'Well, I'm issuing arrest warrants for George Bush, but also for bin Laden.' Or after in WWII: 'Well, I'm issuing arrest warrants for FDR, but also for Hitler.'ā x.com/therecount/status/1792926254762500518?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nwThen he pulls a stunt like this. David Axelrod āSuppressing media coverage of the war is an ominous move.ā Headline from the AP storyā¦ ā Israeli officials seize AP equipment and take down live shot of northern Gaza, citing new media lawā
x.com/davidaxelrod/status/1792909339973349837?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nwI donāt like this guy. IMO he is the absolute worst leader Israel could have at this time. Heās trump on steroids. And to try and compare President Bushās actions after 9/11 to his ātake no prisonersā attitude in Gaza shows just how much him and trump are alike. IMO |

Maybe IF they were honest and did their jobs fairly there would be no questions!!
The man who went near Kavanaugh's house was stopped and arrested almost immediately..
Alito invited the photos and the aftermath..
Thomas has invited many questions for many many years!!

Remember the post about Rudy's new cash grab? Well that's ok, he was/is selling coffee 2# for $29.99.. Other interesting things about his coffee. A reporter investigated and found... "Fun thing to do in a situation like this is check out the website and its Privacy Policy section, since that sometimes contains a corporate entity name or some other identifying info," the reporter explained. "So you pop that bad boy into Google, andāvoila! Rudy Coffee shares an address with a roastery that sells its product in very similar packaging at Walmart and Target, among other fine retailers." That address ā 521 NE 189th St in Miami, Florida ā is also the address of Burke Brands, LLC, which produces Don Pablo Coffee. Don Pablo is currently sold at Amazon, Sam's Club, Walmart and Costco, and the company says there are "more [distributors] to come" on its website. Burke Brands is owned by Darron Burke, and was first incorporated in 2004 according to Florida business records. It eventually merged with a Delaware-based LLC in 2007. It has been located at that same Miami address for more than a decade. In his launch video, Giuliani praised the coffee, saying it was made with "100% Arabica coffee beans roasted right here in America." www.rawstory.com/rudy-giuliani-coffee/Amazon Amazon coffee link |

Two paragraphs from the above posted link: I would think it is included in most of not all search warrants IF there should be a unruly persons around.
A new court filing unsealed Tuesday provides a behind-the-scenes look at how federal agents prepared for and executed the raid on Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence in August 2022, including "deadly force" being within the mission's guidelines.
***
An "operations order" of the 9 a.m. raid that was produced in discovery contained a "policy statement" regarding the "use of deadly force," which said in part: "Law enforcement officers of the Department of Justice may use deadly force when necessary."
