Drones were used by the Israelis in their ground attacks within Iran. For that to work, it is necessary to have fast and reliable internet connections. I suspect they used the same technology deployed by Ukraine using the Starlink system in their war with Russia. Being a worldwide high speed network, Starlink is a powerful military tool with many uses far beyond individual communication.

What kind of “room” are they talking about. Is it a physical room like an office or closet are is it a “digital” room hidden on the computer network. Cor ney has a history of concealing information digitally.

Never underestimate ignorance, especially when it is combined with arrogance. Lindsey is a lot like Biden in that, despite his limitations, he has been getting away with corruption for most of his life and likely considers himself bullet proof or at least entitled.

Granted, there is no incentive for anyone involved, democrat or republican, to press for public release but just think of the probability that there is a number of democrats who are not involved. Regardless of how large or small the number is, they likely don't have warm feelings for Trump and would probably support anything that would expose him. It would be ironic if their desire to get Trump resulted in bringing down the whole corrupt house.

Thanks for looking. It appears I confused an article with a video. See the link above posted by "CrimsonSentinal". My memory was correct that it involved a study at M.D. Anderson.

Thank you for the video link. My old mind sometimes gets confused. This video is what I remember rather than an article. I was particularly impressed at the time because I was using both HCQ and Ivermectin to treat Covid in my family and recommended it to a couple of friends with cancer. Unfortunately they both opted for the shot rather than what might have helped them.

Zelensky has his countries mixed up. Instead of U.S. troops on the front lines bringing peace, he is going to have Russian troops on the front lines imposing peace.

During the height of the pandemic scam an article about this was posted here but I neglected to save it and don't know how to search for it. I do remember it mentioned the study was from MD Anderson in Houston.

The use of drones for this type attack is totally dependent on the availability of stable wireless internet connectivity. In the vast areas involved only one provider is available to the Ukrainian military. That is “Starlink”. How long before Russia moves to take out that threat. (I am using this same service to transmit this post from a rural part of Texas and would hate to lose it.)

So now civilian trucks hauling freight in a neighboring country are legitimate military targets. Truckers in Finland and other bordering countries need to be careful. Is allowing their territory to be used for this attack worth the risk to their freight haulers.

It is my understanding that US Marshals are appointed by the President and approved by the Senate. Under Article II of the Constitution the President and Vice President are the only offices in the Executive Department subject to election.

You raise a very important issue. Currently I know only one person over 65 who is not taking prescription medication on a continuing basis. Fifty years ago, I did not know anyone over 65 who was taking prescription medication at all. I am in my 80's now and was in my 30's then. Things have certainly changed and not all for the better.

I hope this is only the first move in changing the profit incentive from keeping people sick to keeping them healthy. Normally we give rewards for results we want and withhold rewards for results we don't want. In the medical field, the incentive is the opposite. There is more money to be made by keeping a patient sick than in curing them. We need to look at our third party payment systems (medical insurance) as well as how medical care is delivered.

I have no idea how things will work out in the long run, but I do know there are greater obstacles than the cost of drugs. Just as an example, think what would happen if a cure for cancer was announced. How many billion dollar institutions would be out of business including hospitals, medical schools, equipment suppliers, etc. They will fight to survive.

This bill was introduced by Representative Dade Phelan who was the former House Speaker who pushed the impeachment resolution against Attorney General Paxton. He was elected by a vote of all Democrat members and a handful of dissident Republicans. He failed to win the Speaker position this session despite his solid Democrat support. The bill must be passed by the Senate and signed by the Governor to become law and the odds of that are probably somewhat less than 0%.

Our Constitution allows the Legislature to meets in regular session for only around 140 days every other year so we are almost out of danger for this term unless the Governor goes off the rails and calls a special session. At least in that event they are limited to the specific subject he calls them for.

Thank you for making the point being missed by so many. Any information released to the public by the government prior to indictment can not be used to prosecute the guilty. The Attorney General’s initial limited release did provide the impetus for her recovering the files being withheld by the FBI and US Attorney in the Southern District of New York. I would much rather see the guilty prosecuted than just embarrassed.

Before it is over, he may be returned to testify against the human traffickers and then deported to a 3rd country like Venezuela where the gangs will kill him.

When it comes to the release of records, the government, especially the Justice Department, is held to a different standard than an individual or news organization. The full trove of records will only be released to the public when there is no prospect of using them to prosecute anyone. Anything released to the public could not be used in a trial as it would be prejudicial to the defendant. If the Attorney General and her team found anything in the documents that implicated anyone in a crime, they have a duty to withhold it from the public. If anything is referred to a Grand Jury they have a heightened obligation to keep quite. This would include any evidence that FBI or Justice Department officials participated in a coverup. As hard as it may be to accept, the fact that there has been no release since discovery of withheld document in the New York office is good news.

I am sorry I confused the issue further. I was not concerned with the capitalization and fully understand and also use the Cut/Paste function. Great time saver. Also I greatly appreciate the time and effort you spent to bring this revelation to light.

My concern was with the phrase "came forward to say they lied" used in the post heading contrasted with the phrase "came forward to say Minneapolis Police lied" used in Jack Posobiec's X post. I only asked clarification because there were comments below questioning the character of the 34 police officers who came forward as if it was them who personally lied. The implication of Mr. Posobiec's wording is that the 34 officers were "whistleblowers" exposing corrupt officials in charge of the Police department.

In any case, thanks for doing the research some of us (me especially) don't do.

I am slightly confused and would appreciate clarification.

The title of this post states: 34 police officers come forward to say they LIED ABOUT DEREK CHAUVIN ….. The X reference fron Jack Posobiec states: 34 POLICE OFFICERS COME FORWARD TO SAY MINNEAPOLIS POLICE LIED ABOUT DEREK CHAUVIN

Was it these 34 officers confessing to have lied about CHAUVIN or was it these 34 officers accusing their leadership (mayor, chief, prosecutors, etc.) of having lied about his training? I believe the context indicates it was the latter but I may be wrong.

The Speaker is dealing with a very slim majority so the decision to postpone votes until next week might relate to the prospect of his majority being increased by at least two following the special elections in Florida. While the issue involved in the rule change might not seem significant, allowing a small number of members to successfully defy the leadership by aligning with the opposition party is very detrimental to maintaining party discipline. This has always been the difference between republican and democrat leadership success. Democrats impose discipline while Republicans herd cats.

AG Bondi was not announced as the nominee until November 21, 2024. She was not confirmed by the Senate until February 4, 2025 which is less than two months ago. She is now in charge of a Department with approximately 116,000 employees. She does not arrest people; she supervises people who supervise people who supervise people who supervise people who arrest people. Before people who arrest people arrest them, they normally have to obtain evidence of crimes and present that evidence to Grand Juries and obtain indictments. The process takes time and if shortcuts are taken, the guilty usually go free.

Patience is a virtue many of us lack. Possibly it is because we have grown up with television and movies showing major crimes being committed, solved, and punishment meted out in a one to three hour episodes. The real world doesn't work that way. We are in for a long haul and a disappointing one unless we get control of our expectations.

Sorry for not getting back sooner. No, the VP and cabinet officers did not do their job and thankfully they were removed by the voters in the last election.

After reviewing your comment, I must admit I totally missed your point. I mistakenly thought you were advocating for court involvement in monitoring the presidents mental qualifications. Considering our judiciary that would we scary. For what it is worth, I agree with the view that it is futile to expect anything to be done at this point. Facing reality is often difficult (as is admitting error). Have a good rest of the day.

Finding a President mentally unfit was not a job for the courts. That responsibility was delegated by the Constitution to the Vice President along with the cabinet officers.
