Vote Blue, the Republican leader has incurable psychopathologies

10 years ago SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act.
“Things have changed dramatically,” wrote John Roberts in Shelby County v Holder. But in the last 3 years alone, 33 states have enacted 109 new laws restricting voting access.

The United States produced 13.2 million barrels of crude oil per day in October and November 2023, breaking an all-time record of 13.1 million per day set in February and March of 2020, just before the Covid pandemic hit.  Yes, Joe Biden just broke Donald Trump’s record of daily domestic crude oil production, which is now higher than it was pre-Covid. When Biden took office it was 11 million barrels a day.

Just found out about LibreWolf.
From initial information, looking quite interesting. Firefox is one of the few “big” market browsers that hasn’t conceded to Chromium engine, which already makes it less of a potential threat vector (many script kiddies prefer to target most popular software first). On top of that, this is a security-focused custom variant of FF with built-in uBlock Origin. Looks promising. https://librewolf.net #InfoSec

Grandma
It is time for me to set the record straight.
You have to keep in mind my age (75), I’m a grandma, I live in a red state (indiana), and I missed Woodstock.
Last year during the holidays, I mentioned I was giving my kids edibles for Christmas. I didn’t realize until past the time to clarify, how that was taken.
Folks, I made COOKIES, CANDY, and BREAD for my kids.
I since then have learned the alternate meaning for edibles.
It was food. Just food.
Alrighty then. #EdiblesCanBeFood

The bear market is over and the next BTC bull market has started.
Institutions accept that a spot #Bitcoin ETF appears imminent

#Bitcoin is the safe haven.

Wall Street Journal Bias Fueled Anti-Bitcoin Sentiment in the US
Elizabeth Warren finally admits what we’ve known for months. They want to make self-custody a crime.

MicroStrategy bought 155 more #Bitcoin for $5.3 million. $MSTR now holds 158,400 BTC worth over $5.4 billion. Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy is now up nearly $1 BILLION on its #Bitcoin investment. There is no second best.

Fidelity
($4.5 Trillion AUM) Predicts a $1,000,000,000 #Bitcoin price and explains WHY investors should buy #BTC
#Bitcoin is “exponential gold”, per Fidelity’s director of global macro Jurrien Timmer

Samson Mow: Don’t be surprised when #Bitcoin goes to $1 million post spot ETF approval. Market cap doesn’t increase linearly ($1 BTC buy doesn’t make market cap go up $1), there’s a multiplier effect. The challenge will be to HODL from $1M to $10M.

BEATLES Specifically machine learning was used to separate John’s voice from poor audio. It doesn’t help that articles like this one call it “AI vocals”. That’s absolutely not correct.

During World War II, a French mime named Marcel Marceau used his acting background to rescue Jewish children and get them to safety. He would smuggle them across the Swiss border, miming to keep them happy while instructing them to stay quiet. He saved at least 70 kids.

Dr. Eugene Lazowski, a Polish doctor who saved 8,000 Jewish people by creating a fake typhus epidemic in Stalowa Wola, a city in Poland that was occupied by the Nazis during World War 2.

In 1981, Dr. Michael Shannon worked tirelessly through the night to successfully rescue a premature baby boy.
30 years later, in 2011, Dr. Shannon was trapped in his burning SUV following a collision with a semi-truck.
Miraculously, he was rescued from the blazing vehicle by Chris Trokey, a paramedic with the Orange County Fire Authority.
Remarkably, it was revealed that Chris Trokey was the same premature baby Dr. Shannon had delivered three decades earlier.

#PRIVACY

Google your name plus the words “phone number”, “email address”, or “address”. Do you see your sensitive personal info on data brokerage sites?
Google has a tool to request a takedown of that info from Google itself (but doesn’t remove it from the other sites).
Steps for Google removal request:
– click the three vertical dots next to the Google results you want removed
– click “remove result”
– click “it shows my personal contact info”, following remaining steps
Sometimes Google approves the removal, sometimes they don’t.
The info still exists outside of Google.

There are tools available to remove details on the data brokerage site itself over time including @deleteme!
Removing your contact details like phone number, email address, address etc is another way to reduce spam and hacking attempts.
When cyber criminals and spammers can easily find your contact details to text/email/call/mail spam it makes us an easier target for them. We want to be an obnoxious target and removing your contact details from easily searchable places is more annoying for attackers.

Trump’s actions exposed in fraud trial could tank his criminal elections case. While Don. Jr. said that he didn’t do much and didn’t know much, one thing he did reveal is that in Jan. 15, 2021, Trump Sr. took over the trust immediately after leaving the White House. Up until that point, CFO Weisselberg and Don Jr. were in charge. Trump maintained he won the 2020 election from November onward. He claimed that there was no reason for him to leave the White House.

SBF, His Parents, Stanford, Effective Alturism, WSJ

Talking about taking risk, listening to SBF and learning about  Stanford’s SBF “professor” dipshit parents re: Effective Altruism shows  Sam was indoctrinated to think that taking high-risk bets was always the right move – including with other people’s money. Cause you know the ends justifies the means. What fucking thieving asshole$$$$.

The Wall Street Journal’s false report about crypto funding Hamas is a classic case of a lie that travels around the world before the truth can put its shoes on. The report was blatantly wrong and extremely damaging.

AUTHORITARIAN RETHUGLICAN POLITICIANS WHO HATE DEMOCRACY


PICK A SIDE

One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.

 

Three words that never appear in the US Constitution: Jesus Bible Prayer
@HouseGOP members praying on the House floor offends both our Constitution and the New Testament, which denounces public displays of devotion. The blasphemy of the new Speaker, who says God ordained him, is just as disgusting.

“Religion” is a COVER STORY and a virus that infects brains.
Why is a world of chaos, oppression, and death such an appealing vision for Republicans ? Cause end of times brings back Jesus scam.

Right Wing Watch @RightWingWatch
Newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson is aghast that any of his colleagues would dare to argue “that our rights do not come from God”: “Think about how scary that is. If you believe your rights come from government, then it means you don’t owe any allegiance at all to God.”

Remember when we said the next autocrat will be smarter and more dangerous? The man about to be second in line to the Presidency violated his oath to the Constitution and tried to disenfranchise four states.

Eric Garland @ericgarland
Remember: It’s not about the cult itself – all that hateful social stuff. These guys are paid by *fossil fuel interests* to destroy democracy–so America doesn’t lead the world in clean energy. The rest is details.

 

Your job is to MESS UP MIKE JOHNSON  by using his scandals, his extremism, his weaknesses against him.

People like Mike Johnson don’t become speaker without powerful people behind it. Forget the powerless puppets such as MTG, Bobo and Haetz. These are not powerful people, they are distractions. This screams Heritage Foundation.

House Speaker Mike Johnson in 2003 denouncing the Supreme Court for throwing out sodomy laws. Johnson said states had a right to criminalize homosexuality, and even suggested that the government should be allowed to ban any sex outside of marriage. He’s a Christo-fascist.

Oil and gas producers in Pennsylvania used some 160 million pounds of chemicals that they are not required by law to publicly identify, new research says.

Biden and Trump still deadlocked in Pa. as economic concerns persist, poll says

Republicans’ new Speaker, Mike Johnson: “We don’t live in a democracy,” we live in a “biblical” republic.

Mike Johnson “led the amicus brief signed by more than 100 House Republicans in support of a Texas lawsuit [filed by Texas AG Ken Paxton] seeking to invalidate the 2020 election results in … Georgia, Michigan, PA and Wisconsin.”

Rep. Mike Johnson on Nov. 17, 2020:
“You know the allegations about these voting machines, some of them being rigged with this software by Dominion, there’s a lot of merit to that…They know that in Georgia it really was rigged.” Fox News settled a defamation lawsuit for $787.5 million over airing false claims like this…

Virginia elections that have many alarmed that the key swing state could soon sit “at the vanguard of undermining democracy.”

The mass murderer in Maine is a firearms instructor, member of the Army Reserve, AKA “Good guy with a gun” who had made threats to carry out a shooting at a National Guard facility and was having mental health issues, including hearing voices. GOP & NRA prevented Red Flag law.

Guns don’t kill people but books will make you gay of course.

Newly unearthed posts by the GOP frontrunner in North Carolina’s gubernatorial race show that Mark Richardson made a slew of anti-semitic comments over the past decade, including sharing a quote attributed to Adolf Hitler.

 

House Speaker Mike Johnson in 2003 denouncing the Supreme Court for throwing out sodomy laws. Johnson said states had a right to criminalize homosexuality, and even suggested that the government should be allowed to ban any sex outside of marriage. He’s a Christo-fascist. THE New speaker of the House Mike Johnson once wrote in support of the criminalization of gay sex.

Mike Johnson in 2016: “What’s happened, Alex, over the last 60 or 70 years, is that our generation has been convinced that there is a separation of church and state. Most people think that that’s part of the Constitution, but it’s not.”

Mike Johnson, is up to his neck in Christian Nationalism, of a Seven Mountains Mandate (7M) nature. He has considerable ties to Gene Mills’ Louisiana Family Foundation, an explicitly 7M organization.

Frost: My colleague Rep. Boebert said, “The church is supposed to direct the government, the government is not supposed to direct the church. I’m tired of this separation of church and state junk.” Junk being the constitution and bill of rights.

NOT A BRIBE BUT CONVINCED WITH MONEY

Why are these people still in office?

Mike Johnson, instigator of the coup, now holds the Speaker title.
Trump, the coup figurehead, is likely to be the nominee for president.
Rand Paul, the coup orchestrator, is hindering ambassador appointments.
Tuberville, another coup instigator, is undermining our military.
Hawley, another coup orchestrator, is obstructing Army promotions.

We are now on the 7th or 8th Clarence Thomas revelation that would have resulted in the resignation of a Supreme Court justice in any other era of American history.

k12playground.comMore grift and corrupt behavior by Justice Clarence Thomas.
Senate Finance Committee finds “Justice Thomas Did Not Repay Substantial Portion of $267,230 Loan” from wealthy friend for RV that NYT first reported

Thomas clearly is not a man of the people and likes to live in luxury. But he can’t afford that on a judicial salary. So he gets corrupted by wealthy benefactors.
This is big. Clarence Thomas got a $276K back from a rich friend to buy an ultra-luxury RV. He never paid the principal back.
You have to report debt forgiveness as income. You have to pay taxes on it. What are the chances that Thomas did so?

Also, Justice Thomas joined a conspiracy to overthrow the Government of the United States when he refused to recuse himself and ruled against revealing his wife Ginni’s Insurrection communications.

Thomas is thoroughly captured by billionaire benefactors. And John Roberts allows it.

Every member of the judiciary has an obligation to condemn Thomas and demand Roberts take immediate action to preserve and protect the rule of law. @JudiciaryDems @uscourts

Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin

Except they left the entire old history of the person they commandeered the account from.   Check tweet history. That’s what J35t3r was saying.

@th3j35t3r Nope. Rob is correct. Looks like Musk took Hwang’s account, renamed it from @X  to @x12345678998765 then renamed @twitter to @X, then created a new @twitter placeholder.

@RayRedacted But if you scroll back to 2021 in the history of the X user account tweets, it is obvious they forgot to delete the original owners tweets, too.  Meaning they didn’t even set up a new account just hijacked the old one.

Miami Herald Investigative journalist. Author of “Perversion of Justice: The Jeffrey Epstein Story.” I write about the broken criminal justice system.
Woman files lawsuit against Leon Black, alleging she was trafficked to him by Epstein and Maxwell when she was 16. The woman, who has Autism and a form of Down Syndrome, says she was severely beaten and raped by the former CEO.  The woman, now in her late 30s, says that Epstein and Maxwell trafficked her to other powerful older men in the early 2000s, and that they were assisted by others who recruited her at a cheerleading camp. The lawsuit comes as the Senate Finance Committee opens a probe into Black’s financial dealings with Epstein — and after Black paid a $62.5 million cash settlement to the USVI to help scuttle a lawsuit against him by the U.S. Territory’s Attorney General.

The unnamed woman said that Black attacked her at Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan mansion in 2002, when she was 16
She said Epstein later found her crying, but refused to let her see a doctor and said his right-hand woman Ghislaine Maxwell would take care of her
Black, co-founder of Apollo Global Management, which he left in 2021, said through his lawyer the suit was ‘frivolous’ and he never met his accuser

Trump awarded Alex Acosta for the sweet deal Epstein got, he made him Secretary of Labor.

The Mayor of Erie, PA, wants Donald Trump to pay in advance for an upcoming rally after saying the city was stiffed $35,000 for a past Trump event.

@BradSherman equates printing money with earning money. He literally believes we could print 10 trillion dollars today and it would be good for America.

US Senators introduce bill to ban the President, VP, and Congress members from owning & trading stocks.
@JohnEDeaton1 Not only should this bill be introduced but also a law should be passed preventing a regulator from leaving their post and immediately begin working for a company that they were just responsible for regulating. If you work for the @SECGov you don’t get to resign and immediately get to go work at @jpmorgan or @GoldmanSachs. If you work for the @US_FDA you don’t get to resign and immediately get to go work at Johnson and Johnson. Same for @EPA, @CFTC, etc. We need to stop the revolving  at these agencies and prosecute those who break financial conflict laws. That’s how you start draining the swamp.

Counterintuitively, the so-called IRS whistleblowers may have fucked ANY prosecution of Hunter Biden, bc they’ve now disclosed that DOJ believed the case couldn’t be charged (and it’s now more clear they mishandled the laptop).

@RBReich Why is healthcare so expensive in America?
In the past few years, some hospital CEOs have seen their salaries increase by as much as 700 percent. Yes, you read that correctly.
Say it with me, Medicare for All.

Here, I’m saying it again outside of the House floor: United States District Court Judge Lewis Kaplan found that Donald Trump “raped” E. Jean Carroll.
Below is the link to the court ruling.

Why #Bitcoin is the future of money
“It is the internet – unleashed and uncensorable.”
Bitcoin is disruptive, and that’s why traditional investments have a problem.  The point is that Bitcoin is the first completely decentralized, transnational platform for exchanging value. It has no borders. It doesn’t care whether you like the transaction or not. It is entirely based on  mathematical verifiability. It is the internet, unleashed, unvarnished, unpolished and uncensorable. And if you can’t swallow that pill, there is a startup out there that is going to take that innovation and it’s going to disrupt your industry.
