Why this is news?

Why? Because some people are historically ignorant and compound that ignorance with a penchant for conspiracy theories.

Of course, the government has contingency plans to stay functional in the event of a catastrophic event in Washington, DC.  As anyone who is not historically ignorant knows, it has since the start of the Cold War.  This includes having one person in the line of presidential succession, that year's "designated survivor" be hidden away in a secure facility when the State of the Union address gathers all the others in the Capitol with both houses of Congress.

Shocking footage captured the moment a boatload of migrants rushed a busy California beach as stunned locals watched on.

In a viral video shared to X, crowds gathered on Ocean Beach in San Diego as around a dozen migrants departed a valuable-looking white yacht, without any Coast Guard officials in sight.

The migrants were seen hopping into the water before sprinting towards a residential neighborhood, while beachgoers stopped to film them on their phones.

Here's how Trump's business reimbursed Cohen for the hush money payout, per trial evidence
By Ben Kochman

Then-Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg wrote down notes explaining the scheme to reimburse Michael Cohen for his $130,000 payout to Stormy Daniels, trial evidence shows.

Weisselberg scrawled messy notes explaining the scheme on a copy of a bank statement for Cohen's shell company that was used to make the Daniels payout, Essential Consultants LLC.

Here's how it worked:

-- They started with a $130,000 payment to reimburse Cohen for paying the Daniels hush money.                 

-- They then added $50,000 owed to Cohen to reimburse him for paying an IT firm called "Red Finch," which Cohen testified he hired to rig online polls in favor of Trump in 2015.                                                     

-- Then they doubled $180,000 to $360,000 to make up for the roughly 50% taxes the Midtown Manhattan resident would have to pay because he was in a high tax bracket.

-- They then added an extra $60,000 as a "bonus" to make up for Trump apparently stiffing Cohen on a bonus the previous year.

-- Weisselberg told Cohen that the new total of $420,000 would be paid out in 12 installments of $35,000 throughout 2017.

As for population -- open your eyes.  The gov't just went after folks in nursing homes with this mandated COVID b.s. to wipe out the elderly population -- they've gone after LEGAL Americans and insisted and mandated the COVID vaccine.  Those vaccines have proven to have cause adverse side effects in younger people, and in some instances death.  IMHO I believe that there is the possibilities that the vaccines given to our youth have made them sterile.

The gov't is trying to lower the U.S. population.  Why??



Conspiracy crap nuttery.   Why is every country in the world desperately trying to increase their birthrates?

The US govt, Rep and Dems alike  said we are entering into a nightmare if a younger population is  not there to pay for  the SS/Medicare/Pensions. One thing both democrats and republicans agree upon.

Younger people are dying younger via cancers and  heart attacks because they have been fed fast food since birth, 2-5 energy energy drinks every day , rampant obesity, they smoke pot laced with hard  core THC hundreds if not thousands time more potent than what was in our day. and do drugs hardcore drugs  like exctasy and others  like we drank beer back in our  day, eat nothing but ultra processed foods, sedentary lifestyle, vaping  on and on. Doctor are now treating 30 years old with plugged up arteries like 70 year olds and doing him and knee replacement on young people because of obesity.

The US govt has  trillion of govt programs to help people get healthier, live longer, better healthcare, food stamps, medicaid record numbers, increase baby mortality

I remember when it was said within 1 year all the vaccinated would die, then it was 2 years then 3 and now an article the other day says 5.

Sterile young people LMAO.  No, they are no longer having sex like the Japanese and young men have virginity rates at levels going back to the turn of the century because they have rampant anxiety to how they were raised as snowflakes . There was an article the other day about how many gen z cannot answer  a phone because of anxiety of what they might hear.

As for hearing 1 for spanish 2 for English. Have you ever been to a foreign country that does not speak English?  Every road sign has English name under the foreign name, every large business has the native  and English native language on the building. Tell me the last time under Home Depot you have seen equally large letters "casa deopoe" or whatever spanish would be. You would shrivel up and die if that was the US



I get it the illegals needs vetted and the criminal need deported.

Again, Trump will never deport these folks other than the real criminals.

Cohen texted 'Taxi King' Gene Friedman gloating about becoming 'personal counsel' to Trump

A text shown to jurors sent by Michael Cohen to Gene Friedman shows Cohen telling the "Taxi King" that he was going to be "personal counsel to Pres Trump."

The text, dated January 17, 2017, shows Cohen texted Friedman, who he identified as the "operator of yellow cabs" he owned, writing: Thank u. I leave tomorrow for DC and just between us, I will be personal counsel to Pres Trump."

Friedman was stripped of 800 medallions by the Taxi & Limousine Commission in 2017 shortly before his arrest for tax fraud.

Now that MLK is no longer the hero he once was, maybe we should go into every community and remove all the signs from those streets that were changed to honor him and rename them DEI Drive. We might need to rethink that MLK holiday in January too.  **nononono*
Shhh. I suspect there are a lot of people who would gladly rename every MLK Dr. in America after Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, or another of the thug "victims" of white supremacy.

He goes to mass late Sunday afternoon? I guess the meds don't kick in until then.

Well, that's what comes of the Latins abandoning the ancient canonical standard of offering at most one Liturgy per day on any one altar, and a priest only being allowed to celebrate once a day.  It make the Eucharist into a visible sign of the unity of the Church, as all Christians in the given location came to worship together.

JUST IN:  The prosecution is currently making a great case, against Michael Cohen.  So far, every piece of evidence has been conversation between Cohen and others.  The only thing Cohen has against Trump is his word.   Conveniently, the really damaging evidence was on an encrypted messaging app, so it can’t be recovered. 

It’s becoming increasingly apparent that Cohen acted of his own free will doing things to please Trump because he worshipped him.   He’s yet to say Trump demanded he do anything, only that he felt pressured because he was afraid. 

Why is this loser even allowed to testify?  He’s a coward and a sellout
