Since both sides are allegedly just as bad as each other, Federal Judge Aileen Cannon should be getting death threats from libs right now because she slowed down the Justice Department’s efforts to prosecute disgraced former President Trump. Cannon should be just as afraid for her life as Federal Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart was after he signed off on the warrant to send FBI agents into raid Mar-a-Lago. Right? Like if those insufferable dickheads who say shit like “Oh well you know the woke stuff is basically as bad as the AR-15 massacres by MAGA terrorists. And what Biden said in that speech was really political. It was just as partisan as the time when Trump incited all of his fans to attack the Capitol on January 6th,” are right, then Cannon should be afraid.

So when does Cannon’s house of worship cancel services because of Antifa/BLM death threats? When do her husband and children go into hiding from crazed libs? Should be soon, right?

Bloomberg reports that Trump-appointed federal judge Aileen Cannon has granted Donald Trump’s request to appoint a special master to review documents recovered by federal agents from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago villa and supper club.

Cannon also instructed federal agents to temporarily halt their use of documents recovered in the August raid in its investigation of potential criminal activity by Trump.  She did allow the documents to be used by national security officials to determine the exposure created by Trump having the classified documents in an unsecured basement storage room at his Florida club.

Appointed to the federal bench less than a week after the 2020 presidential election was called for President Joe Biden, Cannon said the special master would review the seized property, manage assertions of privilege and make recommendations thereon, and evaluate claims for return of property.  The exact operation of the special master will be decided after the two sides submit proposals for the process.

You will not be surprised at all to find out that Marco Rubio said something completely different about Hillary Clinton in 2016 in response to then-FBI Director Jim Comey’s announcement they had finished their investigation into her email server and would not be charging her: “The FBI concluded what many Americans have known for quite some time, which is that Hillary Clinton’s conduct as Secretary of State and her mishandling of classified information was disgraceful and unbecoming of someone who aspires to the presidency. There is simply no excuse for Hillary Clinton’s decision to set up a home-cooked email system which left sensitive and classified national security information vulnerable to theft and exploitation by America’s enemies. Her actions were grossly negligent, damaged national security and put lives at risk. Hillary Clinton’s actions have sent the worst message to the millions of hard-working federal employees who hold security clearances and are expected to go to great lengths to secure sensitive government information and abide by the rules. They don’t take their oaths lightly, and we shouldn’t expect any less of their leaders.”

In an interview with John Solomon’s shitty website JustTheNews.com, terrible person and Republican Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson asked for whistleblowers to come forward and expose the supposed atrocities of the Biden DOJ and FBI to help out the GOP in the midterms.

“We have the whistleblowers coming to our office saying that once they obtained that Hunter Biden laptop, the higher-ups said we will not look at that Hunter Biden laptop, and the FBI will not not change the outcome of the election again, implying that they thought they changed the outcome in 2016. I would argue they tried but failed,” said RonAnon, who didn’t explain why he needed whistleblowers if he already had some. “We do need people with integrity that want to see the credibility restored to their agencies. And this is not only the FBI and Department of Justice. We’re talking about federal health agencies. You know, it’s getting very difficult to do oversight, because the federal agencies just know that Congress – you almost have to get a court order – does not have that type of authority” whatever the fuck that’s supposed to mean.

It’s also a far cry from when Johnson said in 2019 that Trump-Ukraine scandal whistleblower Lt Colonel Alex Vindman was trying to “damage our democracy” by exposing the Donald’s crimes.

Donald J. Trump

Also Just Out: The Top Department of Justice lawyer was partners with Hunter’s attorney! The whole thing is one giant SCAM!!! Redo the Crooked Election!!! Great work by Charlie Hurt.

Earlier posts from Monday morning rant: “So they riffled through the living quarters of my 16 year old son, Barron, and the loved and respected former First Lady of the United States, Melania, but, despite proven high crimes and treason, and just plain common theft, all pointed out in the Laptop from Hell (and elsewhere), they never Raided or Broke Into the house of Hunter Biden or, perhaps even more importantly, the house of Joe Biden – A treasure trove! This is a Country that’s unfair and broken. We are truly a Nation in Decline!!!” … “The USA is rapidly becoming a Third World Nation. Crooked Elections, No Borders, a Weaponized Justice Department & FBI, record setting INFLATION, highest ever Energy Prices (and everything else), and all, including our Military, is WOKE, WOKE, WOKE. Most dangerous time in the history of our Country!!!” … “The fired FBI Agent, it was just reported, was given the Laptop from Hell 11 days before the Presidential Election. He would NOT reveal it to anyone, knowing it would knock Biden out of the race – wouldn’t even be close. The Election was RIGGED, the FBI is corrupt!!!”

A Russian court on Monday effectively killed off Novaya Gazeta, one of the country’s last remaining independent media outlets, over a bullshit red tape issue, Reuters reports. Helmed by 2021 Nobel Peace Prize co-laureate Dmitry Muratov, Novaya Gazeta will continue to publish on the web internationally, but its days serving up news inside Russia are over.

Muratov told reporters outside the court the decision was “a political hit job, without the slightest legal basis,” and vowed to appeal. The Putin regime’s media regulator Rozkomnadzor had brought the case to strip Novaya’s operating license over missing paperwork from a 2006 ownership sale.

Conservative MP Liz Truss has won the Tory Party leadership race and is now officially the Prime Minister-designate of the United Kingdom, beating former Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak 81,326 to 60,399 votes, the BBC reports. Truss takes over in the middle of a political and economic meltdown ravaging Britain, with the pound falling to its lowest level since 1985 on Monday.

One person is confirmed dead and nine others, including a child, are missing after a float plane crashed at Puget Sound near Seattle on Sunday, USA Today reports.  Float planes use pontoons instead of landing gear to facilitate landings on bodies of water.

“A de Havilland DHC-3 Otter crashed in Mutiny Bay off Whidbey Island, Wash., around 3:10 p.m. local time Sunday,” the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement.  The Coast Guard has deployed a number of ships and aircraft to assist in the search, which continued on as of 8 p.m. local time.

With about 62% of the vote, Chileans rejected a draft of a new constitution that included many left-wing policies promoted by the country’s new liberal president, Gabriel Boric, forcing the government to undertake writing a new one again, the Washington Post reports.

The constitution, with 388 separate articles, wanted to enscounce neo-liberalism into Chilean society, however some critics found that it abandoned what many consider Chilean identity by including a statement that the country is a “plurinational” land, acknowledging the blending of native people, European settlers and African slave populations.

The voters’ rejection of the draft restarts the process, during which many of Boric’s proposals may be included.  “This is a historic moment, for which I think it’s very important that we should all, independent of our choice, feel profoundly proud,” Boric said. “In the difficult moments we went through as a country, we chose as a path, as a way to resolve our differences, an advance in more democracy and never in less.”

Officials are warning of potential flash flooding in northwest Georgia after the area was hit with 10 to 13 inches of rain overnight, the start of a three-day storm that could drop as much as two inches of rain an hour into Tuesday, CNN reports.

“This is a PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. SEEK HIGHER GROUND NOW! Life threatening flash flooding of low water crossings, small creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses,” the National Weather Service stated in its emergency notice.

At least of foot of rain was expected to hit Chattooga and Floyd counties Sunday, causing rivers to overflow their banks.  The state has declared a state of emergency and encouraged residents to evacuate the area.

Police in Saskatchewan are searching for two suspects responsible for a stabbing spree that left ten dead and 15 wounded covering 13 locations in two communities, the Associated Press reports.

The stabbings took place on the James Smith Cree Nation and in the village of Weldon, located about 200 miles north of Regina.  Police believe the victims were chosen randomly as the suspects moved through the communities.  Police have identified the two suspects:  Damien Sanderson and Myles Sanderson (relationship unknown).

Police are on alert for the pair because they have a concern they may be headed to the Mosiac Stadium in Regina, where the Saskatchewan Roughriders will host the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in an annual rivalry football game.  A request for comment from the National Knifle Association has gone unanswered, but they said on their Twitter account the government can’t ban knives ’cause then only bad guys would have knives.  And chefs.  And bad ass chefs.

A 38-year-old Memphis man who had previously served time for an unrelated 2020 kidnapping has been arrested for the Friday abduction of 34-year-old kindergarten teacher and mother of two Eliza Fletcher, the granddaughter of a Tennessee billionaire, WREG CBS-3 in Memphis reports.

Police obtained a video showing Cleotha Abston violently forcing Eliza Fletcher into a black SUV.  The police were able to locate the vehicle and detained Mario Abston, also 36, who was by the vehicle on drugs and weapons charges, but he is not believed to have been involved in the kidnapping.  It’s unknown if and how Cleotha and Mario are related.

Cleotha Abston was released in November 2020 after serving 20 years in prison after pleading guilty in another case of especially aggravated kidnapping.  Cleotha Abston has not cooperated with authorities and has not hinted at Fletcher’s location.  On Sunday afternoon, police confiscated a dumpster at Cleotha Abston’s apartment complex.

“U.S. Ambassador to the Russian Federation John J. Sullivan has concluded his tenure as U.S. envoy and departed Moscow today. Ambassador Sullivan was appointed in December 2019 and has served as Ambassador for almost three years. Following his departure, he will retire from a career in public service that has spanned four decades and five U.S. presidents, including service as the Deputy Secretary of State and in senior positions at the Departments of Justice, Defense, and Commerce,” said the US Embassy in Russia in a statement Sunday.

“Good luck to them trying to defend their extreme position.  Every one of them voted for what I call the ‘Chinese genocide bill’ which would allow for abortion up ’til moments before a child takes its first breath,” National Republican Committee Chairman Tom Emmer, a Congressman from Minnesota, claims in a field trial of an already failing branding effort of pro-choice Democrats.  “I think our candidates know how to message that and they’ll be just fine in the midterms.”

The ham-handed way Republicans are trying to frame the debacle of revoking bodily autonomy–while simultaneously preparing attacks on LGBTQ marriage, access to contraception and privacy in one’s sex life–by tying it to the Chinese is not just cynical, it shows how shallow and fetid the GOP arguments for rescinding personal rights are.

Third trimester abortions are exceptionally rare:  less than 1% of all abortion performed.  And they’re typically done so because the expectant patient found the fetus had a significant birth defect.  One of the last major papers to study late term abortions, from 2005, found that one-fifth of late term abortions were performed because the patient received a faulty test result which covered up an abnormality in the fetus that would have resulted in a short life or life-long deformities or handicaps.  (In other words, prenatal testing missed genetic abnormalities.).

Republican Ohio Senate nominee J.D. Vance and three other Senate candidates traveled to Nantucket, Massachusetts for a fundraiser, hoping to rake in much-needed funds for his campaign against his opponent, Democratic Congressman Tim Ryan.  After a two-day trip, Vance walked away with a relatively paltry sum of $25,000, the New York Times reports.

While the low haul for a mediocre neophyte candidate soliciting funds from established Republican donors can be explained by a number of factors–like people just don’t like Vance and his questionable backstory–the episode illustrates how desperate Republican Senate candidates in particular are, given the failure of the fundraising efforts of Republican Florida Senator and chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee and bat boy all grown up Rick Scott.

Trying to duplicate the fundraising success of Donald Trump, who used unethical and perhaps illegal methods to leech tens of millions in cash from small-dollar donors using phone solicitations, pre-checked recurring donation buttons, and ambiguously-worded pitches to hide where funds were going, Scott decided to triple-down on electronic fundraising for the 2022 cycle.  The results have been disastrous to the point that the NRSC has needed handouts from the national Party to stay solvent.

HMS Titanic, the watery gravesite of early 20th century plutocrats such as John Jacob Astor IV, Isidor Straus, Benjamin Guggenheim, Walter Douglas, and other wealthy elitists, is finding a new life as a tourist attraction for 21st century plutocrats shelling out sums upward of $250,000 to visit the wreck several miles beneath the surface of the North Atlantic Ocean, the New York Times reports.

“For those who think it’s expensive, it’s a fraction of the cost of going to space and it’s very expensive for us to get these ships and go out there,. And the folks who don’t like anybody making money sort of miss the fact that that’s the only way anything gets done in this world is if there is profit or military need,” said Stockton Rush, President of OceanGate Expeditions, the company running the deep sea tours for wealthy assholes to gawk at the site where past generations of wealthy assholes (and over a thousand impoverished immigrants) perished.

Kiwi Farms, a site that hosted boards espousing homophobic, transphobic, racist and other hate speech, has lost its hosting company, kicking the site offline until if, and when, if finds a new host, NBC News reports.

Internet hosting and security systems provider Cloudflare announced Saturday that it would no longer host Kiwi Farms because the site has been used for targeted harassment campaigns against trans people.  Users would dox trans people in the forums and direct harassment efforts against them.  Claiming that they’re a “free speech” forum, Kiwi Farms refused to take down any threats or personal information.

Clara Sorrenti, a trans Twitch streamer known to fans as Keffals, was the subject of one such harassment campaign, but she countered by starting a campaign of her own:  to get Kiwi Farms deplatformed, something which didn’t seem likely to happen because the CEO of Cloudflare initially rebuffed the effort by saying they supported everyone’s First Amendment rights.  His view, however, changed when users of Kiwi Farms increased the number and intensity of hate campaigns.. 

As tonight’s rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania shows, Donald Trump wants to be out in front of the cameras going into the 2022 midterm elections.  Whether it’s because he believes he can help candidates or because he’s trying to present a public defense to the multiple legal crises he created, he wants to have an overwhelming public presence.

According to the Washington Post, Trump intends to be more involved in campaigning in October than in September.  Trump advocates say that he will drive turnout from the Party’s base during the midterms, even for moderate Republican candidates MAGAts would typically be tepid about.

But moderates may want Trump to stay away, hoping to solidify the moderate, traditional conservatives as well as moderate Independents.  Trump’s appearances, endorsements or mere mentioning of the candidate could turn off enough voters to swing an election.

Would Donald Trump appreciate using his rousing speech and appearances by the walking roll-on Republican nominee for Pennsylvania Governor and January 6th enthusiast Doug Mastriano to help pitch a gold coin scheme and not, say, one of his 100% Gen-u-wine Classified Documents that were once in the White House, which you can get with a TS/SCI (Trump Sucker/Simply Conning Idiots) “donation” to Donald Trump’s legal defense fund…. which isn’t actually a thing.

The man who was in an SUV used in kidnapping of the 34-year-old granddaughter of the Tennessee billionaire early Friday morning as she went for a jog in Memphis has been detained and his vehicle located, but the woman is still missing, CNN reports.

Liza Fletcher, a mother of two who works as a kindergarten teacher at an Episcopal school in Memphis, was reportedly thrown into a dark SUV at around 4:30 a.m. Friday morning.  She was seen on a security camera near the University of Memphiswearing a pink jogging top and purple running shorts.  Her cell phone was found at the scene of the kidnapping.  Police are not saying definitively if or how the detained man was involved in the kidnapping.

Fletcher’s grandparents own Orgill, a privately-owned multi-billion dollar hardware distribution company that provide services to home improvement stores and construction companies around the country.  Her family has offered a $50,000 reward for information to help her recovery.
