some how you might imagine such a curious idea; 

Oh, this is rich…. “The lawsuit, which claims violations of First Amendment rights and of the federal Privacy Act, asks to bar the Justice Department from aggregating and disseminating the identities of FBI agents and employees that could tie them to the Jan. 6 and Mar-a-Lago cases.” [Read Full Article]

The ‘rank and vile’ FBI agents decry violations of their “Free Speech” and “Privacy” after those same FBI agents violated U.S. citizen free speech (see “Twitter files”) and privacy (see FISA-702). [Read Their Lawsuit Here]

Seriously, the arrogance, hubris and sentiment of being above all accountability is just too thick. You just cannot make this stuff up.........more.........

 this in the land that never knew unemployment after 1945, and a great start;

Secretary of State Marco Rubio was again asked about the USAID review pause and the likely impact to the matrix of NGO’s and financial dependents, including the families of DC politicians, if funding is not quickly restarted. 

Some of these anticipated layoffs have already begun. According to an email obtained by POLITICO, early last week development group Credence Management Solutions sent formal emails to contractors in its global health bureau laying off around 400 employees.

The CEO of DT Global, one of the world’s leading development contractors, reportedly told employees last week that 2,000 to 3,000 positions would likely be eliminated in the sector the first week of February. Both Credence Management Solutions and DT Global did not immediately respond to a request for comment..........more..........

 karen got out her hammer and nailed it;

President Trump’s approach to peace and liberty, as a subset of MAGA objectives, seems to be a net positive for his supporters, so far.  He and his cabinet are working to defibrillate and jump start America’s broken and unhealthy body in hopes of strengthening and enriching the nation.  He wants to build back its working class, and re-acquire and even exceed its former level of excellence in economic productivity, science, technology and character.

Trump exercises two kind of power.  He heads the vast executive branch – de facto larger and more powerful than the other two federal branches, and all the states combined.  Sadly, this is not by constitutional design but through elite oligarchic evolution, and 112 years of Federal Reserve Bank subsidy of the state and its profit seeking interests, through currency debasement and fraud.

His other power is motivational.  Like a coach hoping to motivate his national team, he combines the idea that he cares about “we the people” as he inspires us crudely and creatively with pep talks at the end of a losing third quarter.

As observers and analysts attempt to get a handle on where Trump is actually taking the country, the Constitutionalists among us can’t shake a persistent tic of concern that for all the talk of peace, and putting the interests of Americans first, Trump has a blind spot that we do not share.

Leftists, elitists and TDS sufferers never united around hopes for peace, and they understand free trade exactly the same way Trump does.  Correctly, they see him as the disruptor of systems they adored and causes they championed.  They are enraged that leftist ideals and elitist objectives didn’t pay popular dividends.  Trump broke the Democrat Party through exposure, just as he broke the Republican Party through intimidation............more........

 so here's a curious idea;

Minesto's fully operational Dragon 12 looks like some sort of futuristic military drone – but it behaves remarkably like a kite underwater. It uses lift generated by tidal flows to fly patterns faster than the currents, harvesting renewable energy.

Solar energy is the bedrock of most renewable energy grid plans – but lunar energy is even more predictable, and a number of different companies are working to commercialize energy generated from the regular inflows and outflows of the tides.

One we've completely missed is Minesto, which is taking a very different and remarkably dynamic approach compared to most. Where devices like Orbital's O2 tidal turbine more or less just sit there in the water harvesting energy from tidal currents, Minesto's Dragon series are anchored to the sea bed, and fly around like kites, treating the currents like wind. .........more.........

 joe rogan has lots to say about the la fires;

Podcaster Joe Rogan claimed that climate change is not the reason why of Los Angeles has been suffering from devastating wildfires. 

The LA fires, which began on January 7, have killed at least 28 people while destroying over 10,000 homes and leaving thousands homeless. 

While firefighters have contained nearly all flames across the city, many have blamed climate change for the spread.

However, Rogan argued during the latest episode of 'The Joe Rogan Experience' that LA's longtime windy and dry conditions are the cause of the disaster - not climate change...........more..........

 i was a regular listener in the seventies and eighties till nancy pelosi radio began to tack to the left and then its new ceo took it further left so while i still listen sometimes, its mostly to see what the commies are doing now cause usually i end up screaming at the radio just before i change channels;

“This is NPR.” That tagline has long been used for National Public Radio, but what it is remains remarkably in doubt. NPR remains something of a curiosity. It is a state-subsidized media outlet in a country that rejects state media. It is a site that routinely pitches for its sponsors while insisting that it does not have commercials. That confusion may be on the way to a final resolution after the election. NPR is about to have a reckoning with precisely what it is and what it represents.

While I once appeared regularly on NPR, I grew more critical of the outlet as it became overtly political in its coverage and intolerant of opposing views.

Even after a respected editor, Uri Berliner, wrote a scathing account of the political bias at NPR, the outlet has doubled down on its one-sided coverage and commentary. Indeed, while tacking aggressively to the left and openly supporting narratives (including some false stories) from Democratic sources, NPR has dismissed the criticism. When many of us called on NPR to pick a more politically neutral CEO, it instead picked NPR CEO Katherine Maher, who was previously criticized for her strident political views.

Some have long questioned the federal government’s subsidization of a media organization. NPR itself continues to maintain that “federal funding is essential” to its work. However, this country has long rejected state media models as undermining democratic values.

This funding is likely more important given NPR’s cratering audience and revenue. NPR’s audience has been declining for years. As a result, NPR has been forced to make deep staff cuts.

Ironically, NPR has one of the least diverse audiences. Its audience is overwhelmingly white, liberal, and more affluent than the rest of the country. Yet, while serving fewer and fewer people, it still expects most of the country to subsidize its programming.............more.......

 stay at home and forget this crap was the message sent but cheeto is showing how israel owns him and the empire;

February 4th, 2025

What do the zionists have on Trump?

Any guesses?

My guess is not backed up by anything, so I don’t want to suggest it. (Hint: I don’t think it’s an Epstein-like honeypot.) But if you want to guess, go ahead.

Via: Al Jazeera:

United States President Donald Trump has said the US will “take over” and “own” Gaza after resettling Palestinians elsewhere under a redevelopment plan that could see the enclave become “the Riviera of the Middle East”.

In a shock announcement upending decades of US policy toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Trump said on Tuesday that his administration would spearhead an economic development plan in the enclave that would “supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area.”

“The US will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it, too. We’ll own it,” Trump said at the White on Tuesday after talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, adding that Washington would be responsible for clearing destroyed buildings and dismantling “dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons.”.........more.......
