In order to drain the swamp a conservative AG needs to be appointed and from there, the process of draining the swamp may have a chance.

The only one that I believe that has that capability, knowledge and integrity to do so would be Ted Cruz. 

Unfortunately, Trump didn't utilize Cruz's capabilities and I don't see Trump utilizing him in that capacity should he somehow win re-election.


Like Trump, Cruz is all talk no action.

 Teen pleads guilty in rock-throwing spree that killed 20-year-old driver
19h •


One of three Colorado teenagers charged in connection with a rock-throwing spree that killed a 20-year-old driver last year has pleaded guilty as part of a plea deal, officials said Friday.

Seven vehicles were hit by large landscaping rocks on the night of April 19, 2023. Three people were injured and one -- Alexa Bartell, the final victim -- was killed, prosecutors said.

Three then-18-year-old seniors were charged with 13 counts -- including first-degree murder with extreme indifference -- in connection with the incident.
 
One of the teens -- Zachary Kwak, now 19 -- pleaded guilty Friday to three new charges in connection with the rock-throwing attack, according to the Colorado First Judicial District Attorney’s Office, which is prosecuting the case.

 Disgraced ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen shopping his own reality show ‘The Fixer’: video
By Social Links for Jon Levine
Published May 11, 2024, 8:33 a.m. ET

Michael Cohen will “fix your problems,” using the skills he learned working for “a notoriously bad man,” according to a promo sizzle reel for “The Fixer,” a reality-TV show concept he’s been shopping to studios.

In the unintentionally hilarious promo video, which The Post obtained exclusively, Cohen stalks the streets of Manhattan in a moody ripoff of his old boss’s mega-hit “The Apprentice.”

Clad in darks suits, the disgraced lawyer zips along Park Avenue on the Upper East Side during much of the narration, which is spliced between stock footage of cable-news reports on his scandals.

At one point, Cohen appears seated behind a desk promising to use his darks arts for “the little guy.”

“The Fixer” — a reference to Cohens’ time working as Trump’s no-holds-barred attorney —  would involve Cohen being placed into problematic business scenarios in need of “fixing,” insiders previously told The Post.

“I fixed [Trump’s] problems both professional and personal, gaining power, wealth and notoriety for myself in the process. And I paid the price for it,” Cohen begins in the three-minute spot as dramatic music plays in the background.

In 2018 Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty to tax evasion and violating campaign-finance laws.

Target Limiting its Pride Collection After Backlash Sent Sales Slumping Last Year
By James Lynch
May 10, 2024 11:14 AM

Target is cutting back on its LGBT Pride month collection following the consumer backlash to last summer’s assortment that sent its sales tumbling.

The retailer will only be selling its LGBT merchandise in select stores after some locations faced boycotts for selling LGBT Pride items, including transgender-oriented bathing suits and children’s items designed by a brand that also sells Satanist-inspired merchandise. ...

Last summer, Target’s stock nosedived and the company lost billions in market value after conservatives called for a boycott of the retail chain because of its Pride merchandise, especially a “tuck-friendly” swimsuit meant to obscure male genitalia.

The retailer also faced pushback for its collaboration with Abprallen, a London-based clothing-design company that openly embraces Satanism and sells merchandise celebrating violence against supposed “transphobes.” ...

Maher Bitar, the White House Coordinator for Intelligence and Defense Policy at the U.S. National Security Council (NSC), was a radical pro-Palestinian activist and a leader within Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP).

Lies, nothing but lies! There is nothing past tense about this SOB being "a radical pro-Palestinian activist".

 U.S. special operations commanders are having to do more with less and they're learning from the war in Ukraine, That means juggling how to add more high-tech experts to their teams while still cutting their overall forces by about 5,000 troops over the next five years.

FORT LIBERTY, N.C. (AP) — Forced to do more with less and learning from the war in Ukraine, U.S. special operations commanders are juggling how to add more high-tech experts to their teams while still cutting their overall forces by about 5,000 troops over the next five years.
 
The conflicting pressures are forcing a broader restructuring of the commando teams, which are often deployed for high-risk counterterrorism missions and other sensitive operations around the world. The changes under consideration are being influenced by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, including lessons learned by British special operations forces there.
 
U.S. Army Special Operations Command, which bears the brunt of the personnel cuts, is eyeing plans to increase the size of its Green Beret teams — usually about 12 members — to bring in people with more specialized and technical abilities. One possibility would be the addition of computer software experts who could reprogram drones or other technical equipment on the fly.

Lawfare Against Trump Crumbles: Legal Battles Fail to Derail Former President’s Return to White House

Wendell Husebø 11 May 2024

Opponents waging lawfare against former President Donald Trump are failing to prevent him from completing the greatest political comeback in history, establishment media reports recently acknowledged.

The numerous indictments against Trump were meant to politically sabotage his reelection campaign, many Republicans believe, buoyed by reports of multiple meetings between the Biden administration and Trump prosecutors. That strategy appears not to be working from Georgia to Florida to Washington, DC. Trump remains the political favorite to win reelection in November, swing state polling shows.

What first appeared to be a “wall of legal obstacles” preventing Trump from mounting the greatest comeback in political history now appears to be “little more than a series of speed bumps,” Politico’s Senior Legal Affairs Reporter Josh Gerstein acknowledged Wednesday:

    The four criminal cases that Trump is facing have diverted him from the campaign trail and — as is evident from his speeches and social media feeds — have prompted him to devote an even greater share of his mental energy to his courtroom adversaries.

    But, as of now, the wave of prosecutions don’t seem destined to deliver the kind of legal accountability that Trump’s investigators promised — or the devastating political blow to Trump’s presidential prospects that has animated his detractors since the cases were announced with great fanfare over a five-month span last year.

    That’s because Trump has benefited enormously from a pileup of postponements. After a pair of delays this week in Georgia and Florida, the most likely scenario for 2024 is that the only trial that Trump will face before the election is the ongoing one in Manhattan: the hush money case, which many lawyers view as the least serious of the four, both in terms of the severity of the alleged wrongdoing and the prospect of prison time.
