#DC#Security for #Trump’s #criminal#Jan6#Trial — a first for the American presidency — include ringing all or part of the #FederalCourthouse as early as Feb w/ metal fencing, closing or controlling sidewalk access for blocks, & closing neighboring streets in the heart of the city. The goal is to create a buffer between the proceedings inside & the public outside.
The head of #Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said on Wednesday that #Tehran was “not looking for war,” appearing to signal that it would not escalate tensions w/ the #UnitedStates. But he also warned that Iran was prepared to respond if attacked.
Representatives from four nations (#UnitedStates, #Israel, #Egypt & #Qatar) have agreed to have Qatar present a nascent framework to #Hamas that proposes a six-week pause in the #war in #Gaza for Hamas to exchange some #hostages for #Palestinian prisoners held by Israel, officials say.
“'White nationalists are hijacking foreign policy,' said Terrell Jermaine Starr, a US journalist based in Kyiv and Brooklyn, at a recent meeting of historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat’s Lucid group.
What should be the nation’s headlines — a strong economy, low unemployment, ongoing investments in infrastructure — are continually drowned out by loudening dog whistles for civil war."
Air defenses failed to stop a deadly attack on a #UnitedStates#military outpost in #Jordan on Sun because the hostile #drone homed in on its target at the same time an American drone was returning to the base….
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq (#IRI) claimed responsibility for Sunday’s attack on the #UnitedStates in #Jordan, days after claiming the attack on #Iraq’s Ain al-Asad Air Base.
We need to stop playing games with the treasonous anti-American MAGA wing. If they won't act to stop Russia invasion of Europe in #Ukraine, and the border fix, we need to file a motion to vacate and elect a plurality speaker. -t.h.
The #Jan6#insurrection …seemed to mark a new peak in #extremist intimidation targeting public ofcls. But it was hardly the only act of #PoliticalViolence to break the period of relative stability that followed the assassinations of the 1960s.
(But reality check: #MikeJohnson said he doesn’t want to pass #BorderLegislation because he doesn’t want the Biden admin to be able to take credit for it & because he wants to keep the issue alive for the 2024 #election.)
"Nikki Haley finally said out loud on Saturday what many of us have been screaming about: Donald Trump’s cognitive decline cannot be ignored. … Given Trump won last week’s Iowa GOP caucus and is well positioned to wrap up the GOP presidential nomination over the next few months, it’s imperative that the media robustly address this issue...."
People don’t realize school lunch programs in the US were partly created to provide for our defense. Malnourished children grow up (if they do) to be not great soldiers. So those against kids having lunch whether their families can afford it or not aren’t just cruel, they’re also soft on defense.
Watching Friday’s broadcast of #OutFront on #CNN. Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper says he has “gotten very concerned” about the prospect of #terrorists exploiting the chaos on the southern #border because “the composition of the border crossers has changed a good bit since my day, and now, it’s much more international. There are Chinese, Russians, and others.” And the border “is a serious national security concern.”
Host #ErinBurnett asked, “So, the Houthis say that American interests are legitimate targets. They’re being very clear about that. Now, obviously, they can’t strike the U.S. from #Yemen, where they’re based, but they and others, Director, can take advantage of the chaos on the southern border. There were 225,000 illegal border crossings in the month of December alone on that U.S. southern border. It’s a stunning number. Every time I say it I almost have to go check it, because it does sort of stop you in your tracks. How worried are you about this when you look at that border?”
Clapper responded, “I’ve gotten very concerned about it. The nature — the composition of the border crossers has changed a good bit since my day, and now, it’s much more international. There are Chinese, Russians, and others. So, we traditionally thought about it as people coming from South and Central America. Well, it’s much broader than that. So, this is a serious national security concern. Having said that, though, it doesn’t mean that…should be our exclusive focus. We ought to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time to attend to our southern border and also continue our position of leadership internationally.”
It looks like #Biden is going to let 5 million illegals into the country in his first 3 years in office. This isn't a "race" issue; this is a national security issue. We have no idea who these people are. It's a recipe for disaster.
"Americans would do well to observe the lessons unfolding in Israel. Returning a strongman to power, who will actively seek to undermine the judiciary, civil institutions and the rule of law in pursuit of his own personal goals and to escape legal accountability, will result in political chaos as the citizenry protests his moves."
'A binder containing highly classified information related to Russian election interference went missing at the end of Donald Trump’s presidency, raising alarms among intelligence officials that some of the most closely guarded national security secrets from the US and its allies could be exposed, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.'
Послухайте, що каже цей сбушник: "Є такі припущення, що саме зсередини України (ред. - інсайдер). Коли кажуть, о це власність Фрідмана. Фрідман, слухайте, це більше про гроші. Він вклав, він російський олігарх, він хотів на цьому заробити. Він вклав в це гроші, і всі бізнеси як намагання заробити гроші. Я впевнений, що він не знає як на нижчому рівні працює ця система, де ці слабкі місця. А от менеджери, вони розуміються де слабкі місця, де треба бити, що треба вимикати. І можливо без українця тут не обійшлося".
Це виглядає так, наче Фрідмана відмазують - він нічого не знав, він ПРОСТО БІЗНЕСМЕН, а натомість знайдуть якогось цапа-відбувайла і тупо спишуть все на нього. Знову нас тримають з вами за лохів.
І мені не подобається як вони АКЦЕНТУЮТЬ на тому, що це саме - УКРАЇНЕЦЬ. От знайшовся якийсь українець і навів. Не колаборант, як вони люблять писати, не московський агент, а якийсь "українець" - простий менеджер, який злив дані. А Фрідман чи хто там - о ні, ні! Він тут ні причому! Вони не знали! Вони лише бізнесмени, які шукають кошти!
А те, що Фрідман є засновником "Альфа-Груп" - кгбшної структури, яка підпорядковується Путіну і скупила пів компаній світу, включаючи Боржомі, Моршинську, Helsi, Turkcell - їм невідомо?
Це смішно слухати. Оце постійне жонглювання фактами, відбілювання, окозамулювання, применшення заслуг ОСНОВНИХ ФІГУР, боротьба з ВІТРЯКАМИ і полювання на ВІДЬОМ, слухайте, з таким підходом невідомо чи взагалі щось вийде розслідувати.
Набагато цікавіше було почитати коментарі під відео, як слушно зауважив один користувач:
"Один з рівнів безпеки є національно свідомий працівник, а не ватник і ждун".
