According to Marty Taylor, a former airline pilot and the executive director of the New Blue USA PAC devoted to turning Texas Democratic, Donald Trump’s Boeing 757–tail number N757AF–was tracked flying from New York City to Asheville, North Carolina, where it stayed for four hours before returning to the summer headquarters of Trump’s criminal empire.

Trump had no public events on his schedule and he made no public appearances.  Perhaps not so coincidentally, Trump’s former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows lives within an hour’s drive of Asheville, in Sunset, South Carolina.  Asheville is the airport nearest to Meadows’ home that can handle a Boeing 757.

While Taylor isn’t one of our standard sources, he claims to have verified the information using publicly-available data, as well as confirming the presence of the plane in Asheville through contacts he has from his time as an airline pilot.

Reacting appropriately to a paper tiger threat of impeachment investigations from Marjorie Taylor Greene‘s other little bitch in the House, Speaker pro tem Kevin McCarthy, President Joe Biden displays a little Dark Brandon confidence as he chuckles and moves on (as one should) when questioned by a reporter about McCarthy’s statement as the President leaves his announcement touting expanded access to mental health care.

A federal judge in California blocked a recently-implemented Biden Administration policy that bars some migrants who cross the border illegally from seeking asylum in the United States because they did not seek asylum prior to arriving in the United States, NPR reports.  The judge immediately imposed a 14-day stay on his order to allow the administration to appeal his order.

Federal District Judge Jon Tigar, an Obama appointee based in San Francisco, said the Biden policy to bar migrants from seeking asylum in the US if they did not use an app to apply for asylum prior to coming to the border or did not apply for asylum in a country they passed through to get to the United States.  The policy intended to dissuade migrants from making illegal border crossings and to encourage orderly asylum applications.

However, Tigar determined that the policy violated US law that allows any foreigner on US soil to make an asylum claim, which would result in an asylum hearing to determine eligibility.  Tigar said the Biden policy improperly excluded “noncitizens who enter between ports of entry, using a manner of entry that Congress expressly intended should not affect access to asylum.”

Florida Republican presidential candidate and conversation killer Ron DeSantis’s campaign problems continue as he was forced to lay off a third of his campaign staff over the last two weeks due to ongoing cash flow problems, Politico reports.  At least 38 campaign staffers have been laid off since the beginning of July.

As DeSantis flies around the country doing appearances and trying to shore up his plummeting White House hopes, he has been draining the limited cash reserves of his campaign, which is largely supported by big-dollar donors; only 15% of DeSantis’s donors gave less than $500.

“What I am demanding,” Republican Georgia Congresswoman and aspiring social media influencer Marjorie Taylor Greene shouts from the floor of the House like she’s in a position to demand anything, “is that with the Republican-led House of Representatives move forward on an impeachment inquiry on Joe Biden because this type of corruption should never be allowed to stand.  We must expunge President Trump’s wrongful impeachment and we must impeach Joe Biden.”

As we know, there is no Constitutional method for expunging an impeachment, and any action the House may take is just performance art to placate the temperamental titular head of the Republican Party.  And neither Marge nor the weaponized House committees led by Republicans that are attempting a 2016-esque smear of the Democratic presidential candidate have presented any evidence of corruption or wrongdoing by President Biden.

Saying more than 7,000 former students of a defunct for-profit college in Colorado will get $130 million in student debt forgiven by the federal government, President Joe Biden announced Tuesday in another step to lessen the burden on students carrying excessive debt.

A Denver-based company, CollegeAmerica attempted to change its status at the Department of Education from a for-profit school in 2012 to a non-profit for the purposes of getting additional Title IV federal student aid funding; however, the company did not change its IRS status as a for-profit company.  In the ensuing years, the schools, which operated in Colorado and Arizona, lost its accreditation and ended up shuttering all its locations in 2021.

“As long as I am president, we will never stop fighting to deliver relief to borrowers, hold bad actors accountable, and bring the promise of college to more Americans,” Biden said in a statement.

Xenophobic alleged child sex trafficker Matt Gaetz, a Republican Congressman from Florida, introduced a bill ending birthright citizenship in the United States, something guaranteed in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.  Using the derogative term “anchor babies,” Gaetz claims in a press release written by Breitbart News featured on his website, “Anchor babies are rewarded with birthright citizenship despite their parents having no legitimate ties to the U.S., many having only recently arrived. Years later, when the child is considered an adult, they can sponsor their parents and foreign relatives for green cards — anchoring their family in the country for generations.”

Less than 2% of all people in the United States were born with at least one of their parents being an undocumented immigrant, all of whom are US citizens per the Constitution.  Gaetz’s motion, which is doomed to fail, amplifies Republican talking points that play on fears that migrants will vote for Democrats.  Instead of developing policies that appeal to a wider field of voters, Gaetz and Republicans instead want to change the laws of the United States to allow only their acolytes to vote.

This is what happens when conservatives open a can of worms:  The US Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights, tasked with making sure federally-funded educational institutions do not discriminate against students, has opened an investigation into unfair admissions favorability for legacy students at Harvard, the Boston Herald reports.

The announcement comes weeks after the Republican-dominated US Supreme Court rejected race-based criteria as a factor in admissions, saying that one’s birth status should not trump academic credentials as the sole basis for admission.  Education advocates quickly pointed out that the children of wealthy alumni have a higher admission rate to Harvard regardless of their academic credentials, illustrating another alleged injustice similar to the claimed one used by the Supreme Court to overturn portions of affirmative action for minorities.  Their status as legacies, the argument goes, is an unfair advantage in admissions based on their parents, that other applicants cannot leverage.

UPS and the Teamsters have agreed to a five-year deal for 340,000 workers that includes $30 billion in funds to increase wages as well as improve working conditions like giving workers additional time off, equipping delivery vehicles with air conditioning and raising pay wages to something more liveable, Bloomberg reports.

Few people remember Richard Donoghue, Donald Trump’s last acting Deputy Attorney General serving under Jeffrey Rosen, largely because Trump had a merry-g0-round of “acting” officials in the final days of his disastrous term.  Using a notepad taken from his wife’s nightstand, Donoghue took notes during a late night call with Trump in which Trump ordered Donoghue to “just say the election was corrupt, and leave the rest to me and the Republican Congressmen.”

Well, according to MSNBC producer Kyle Griffin, now special counsel Jack Smith has interviewed Donoghue, who was acting Deputy AG from Christmas Eve 2020 through Trump’s last day in office, about that conversation and his notes, information that has largely been in the public domain since Donoghue testified to the House January 6th committee.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis asked a court to keep the Georgia special grand jury’s report on its investigation into Donald Trump’s repeated attempts to undermine the 2020 presidential election in Georgia, claiming that the information in the report should not be released until her office and a separate grand jury determine appropriate charges.  The filing supports a lower court ruling to keep the report from public, with Trump’s lawyers and others attempting to force the release of the report.

A special grand jury in Georgia is an additional outlet for investigation:  unlike a standard grand jury, a Georgia special grand jury can conduct into a specific charge or subject, but it cannot issue an indictment.

Right-wing anti-government iconoclast Ammon Bundy and his followers must pay an Idaho hospital more than $50 million after a jury ruled Bundy repeatedly defamed St. Luke’s Hospital in Boise by claiming the hospital violated the parental rights of one of his acolytes, the Idaho Statesman reports.

Officials at the hospital and with various child protective services determined Bundy acolyte Diego Rodriguez was endangering his child by denying him required medical care he needed for a medical condition.  The child was found to be severely malnourished and dehydrated after a status check at the ranch when the child and his parents failed to appear for a follow-up medical appointment.

Bundy and his fellow anarchists then undertook a campaign in person and online claiming the hospital took the child to use him in child sex trafficking and/or various medical experiments.  These protests including picketing two of the hospital’s locations, posting false and defamatory statements online and making threats against hospital staff.

Florida Republican Governor and oversized rugby ball Ron DeSantis was involved in a car accident on Tuesday as he traveled to a campaign event in Tennessee, ABC News reports.  No one was seriously hurt in the incident and the candidate’s schedule will largely go interrupted as he ignored the environmental, economic and infrastructure disasters hitting Florida as he goes around the country attempting to strengthen his weakened brand.

The Foreign Minister of China Qin Gang, a former ambassador to the United States, has reportedly been fired by President Xi Jinping, Politico reports, although Qin has not been scene publicly at least the last three weeks.

The 57-year-old Qin, a loyalist to Xi, had been named to the post in December and quickly forged relationships with Western governments.  Besides U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock and Dutch counterpart Wopke Hoekstra had all made trips to Beijing recently to work with Qin.  He’ll be replaced by his predecessor, 69-year-old Wang Yi, more of a Communist Party stalwart who headed the CCP’s Foreign Affairs committee.

In a pretty succinct snapshot of how fucked up things are in Israel right now, the country’s health minister on Tuesday sued to stop the state healthcare system workers from going on strike in protest of the Netanyahu Regime’s judicial coup, the Jerusalem Post reports.

It might be fair to question whether a judge would issue such an injunction given that the efficacy of any ruling that they might issue in any context could be overruled by parliament.

“All of us know that devil worship, gender-affirming care, you name it, some of the things that these organizations that are available to match the donations, they are all… they are evil-doers and as Christians, we have an obligation to call them out,” says Roger Ailes’ widow, Elizabeth Tilson, a Palm Beach socialite.  “Christianity is under attack, and what we’re seeing from Fox is industrialized devil worship.”

You can get all crunchy and natural, but this is ridiculous:  Trader Joe’s has recalled two flavors of its cookies because the snacks may contain rocks, NBC News reports.  The grocery chain was advised by the supplier who makes the cookies about the rock problem, and the remaining supplies on the shelves and in the warehouses have been destroyed.  The supplier did not explain how rocks got into the cookies.

If you have these cookies, throw them out and pull a Karen/talk to the store manager:  Trader Joe’s Almond Windmill Cookies with a sell-by date between October 19-21, and its Dark Chocolate Chunk and Almond Cookies with sell-by dates from October 17-21.

Obama’s chef who drowned while paddleboarding in a 8 ft deep pond by Obama’s home was a decent swimmer. This is from his IG: pic.twitter.com/4MjrHZ866H

No one just dies on Planet QAnon.  No one has a natural death.  There are no accidents. Everyone either dies as part of a foreign-engineered viral weapon attack or from some Deep State assassination.  So the predictable reaction from the far right conspiracy factory to the tragic news that a person associated with the Obama family was found drowned was very… predictable.  Oh, and the “pond” the social media trolls derisively refer to is the 840-acre Edgartown Great Pond, and while an eight-foot depth doesn’t seem deep, it’s still more water than Grover Norquist wanted to use to drown the government.”

Following the successful passage of Israeli dictator Benjamin Netanyahu’s judicial coup bill enabling the country’s current far right extremist parliament majority to overrule the courts on any matter, former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Monday told an interviewer with the UK’s Channel 4 news the Jewish state is “going into a civil war now.” Olmert then backtracked slightly when the interviewer reacted with shock, saying “Yeah, I mean civil disobedience with all the possible ramifications to the stability of the state and for the ability of the government to perform.”

Olmert’s dire prediction echoed that of incumbent President Isaac Herzog, who issued a similar warning months ago when the Netanyahu Regime were first moving toward the power grab. But National Zero is anti-semitic for pointing out insane shit like this, according to the fanboys.
