NYT, Careful Strategy to Trump Inquiry Left Garland Racing the Clock

Great article detailing the pace of DOJ investigations relating to J6.

One part of the article is especially interesting regarding the goings on at the Willard Hotel and those in attendance.

A quote from a war criminal

NYT obit of Henry

Writing at age 23 of his encounters with concentration survivors in Europe.

" The intellectuals, the idealist, the men of high morals had no chance".

Something to keep in mind in the unlikely event of tfg return to power.

2600 mile road trip, how many DT vs JB signs?

Traveled through Washington, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming over the last 2 weeks in predominately red rural areas.

Zero Joe Biden signs, only 2 DT signs. I avoid all political discussions when traveling but did meet 1 person more than willing to share his opinion on the injustice being done to TFG.

There needs to be consequences.....

Have been watching a Frontline Program on the Pegasus Project. An Israeli company NSO who for a price sells software which is a go to for tyrants without a adequate intelligence service. Allowing hacking of any phone number.

It was a comment from the head of Whatsapp, Will Cathcart " if there are no consequences for those who try to break that software to commit human rights abuses, there will always be someone trying to do it".


Something applies to J6, gun violence, tax evasion ,corporate malfeasance etc.....

Actions must have conquesneses!

Call out those politicians who take money and than sell out those they profess to represent. Of course one problem is low IQ single issue voters dont pay attention nor do they care if they vote against their economic interests because they get to own the libs. Fuck them, try to educate the younger generation.

Allowing banks to pay a fine for malfeasance is not enough.
Allowing corporations to pay a fine with a empty promise to do better is not enough.


If corporations have rights accorded to flesh and blood individuals, than they should be subjected to the same penalties.

Imprisonment for corporate officers, dissolvement of corporate entities with assets going to the public coffers.

You want to solve illegal immigration?
Throw the head of the company in jail! Not some low level manager.
The head of the company! That would stop it.

But then what would farmers do? They need illegal immigration, I dont see any white boys in the fields in Skagit county when I drive through 2x a day.
Give those who come across the border a path to citizenship. The majority in this country are descendants of immigrants. Our forefathers are what made America great.

Just a rant from a wine addled cynic.

My phone number is being used by 3rd party spam/scam

Numerous phone calls from people asking whats up, why I called. Ignored and blew off everyone as no big deal until someone implored me not to hang up and listen.

Told me a that my number was being used by someone overseas as cover and that I needed to contact my carrier and insist on a spam block filter to prevent others from using it. Apparently its being used by a 3rd party.

So contacted carrier asked for a filter. Question is what other measures should I take? Giving up my number which I have had for 20 years would be a issue I wish to avoid.

Any suggestions?

Scored big time!

After years of hearing upon arriving at garage and estate sales that someone bought all the records earlier in the day it's my turn to be that guy.

Garage sale of a auction storage unit. Not much really as I was leaving inquired about records. "Yeah haven't dug them out yet, maybe later". Well came back after running quick errands and asked again he went and started hauling out 5 big boxes.

From the first look I knew this was going to cost me. Lucky I had most so I could leave gems for others to find.

Seller told me he might have to pull some of my choices if HE wanted them as he hadn't gone through them.

Pulled 73 for myself, as he went through them i could see him yank a couple and mutter to himself.

Still he let me have all 73 for $200.
8 early stones
6 pink floyd
Were some of the gems among many other 1960 1970 classics. Most have plastic sleeves all pristine.

The best part is leaving behind 4 boxes for someone else to find what they looking for.
I buy for myself and don't do resell.

So tired of the gun violence,

There is always some excuse for the daily carnage everyone is so tired of.

We need to start getting this solved and a political solution is unattainable. Many say enforce the laws already on the books as if it is that easy.

I say put these offenders up against the wall with a cigarette. No need for a mental health evaluation we already know they have a mental health issue. No need for endless trials and paying for a lifetime of incarnation. They have all the evidence needed at the scene of the lastest horror.

Time to get medieval. Time to remove these monsters from society.

A society is judged by how we care for those less fortunate than ourselves. Save our empathy for those who need it.
