Brother dearest.  ... Been awhile, hasn't it, Bro?  A little antsy?  Wondering when the next shoe is about to fall, that is, when you'll be fully exposed for the thieving son of a bitch you truly are?  Patience.  All in good time, good buddy.  When I'm damned good and ready.  Timing just right.  After all, a son of a bitch who's stolen his father's estate needs to be fully exposed publicly for whom and what he is, don't you think?  Indeed, a public service for your neighbors, professional associates, family, and friends, etc..

Conveniently, forget?  Others need to protect themselves against a fraud who masquerades as both a teacher and a counselor, no?  -- How the hell did you ever pass an MMPI some forty years ago to get hired?  You're not stable.  Have not been.  ... Must have really been pissed off at the old man to rip off an estate, no?  How much did you steal while he was alive and supposedly under your care?

How much did you bribe law enforcement to ignore a complaint I filed with them years before the old man died?  How much did you bribe the prosecutor to ignore a complaint filed with her several years ago?  How much?  Use the old man's money to bribe the bitch?  Her cohorts?  Your law enforcement shysters?  While there may indeed be no justice from a corrupt system, fortunately, I do have a way to publicly expose you for the goddamned thieving son of a bitch you truly are.

... Unlike our grandmother who scrubbed floors on her hands and knees during the Depression for peanuts, only to have what little she had stolen by her son, our uncle, another goddamned thieving son of a bitch just like you.  Remember how, surprise, surprise, there was no life insurance when our grandfather died?  Despite the fact our grandmother gave her thieving bastard son premium money year after goddamned year?  Only, as the thieving son of a bitch he truly was, to have pocketed it.  Again, just like you.

Remember when he booted her out of the house she had bought him when he had had enough of her?  -- Despite the fact he had lied and promised she could stay the rest of her life?  She had to climb two flights of stairs on an ulcerated leg to get to a bathroom he had never built for her at ground level as falsely promised.   Nothing ever happened to the thieving son of a bitch as far as justice was concerned.  Worse, he was never exposed publicly for the thieving son of a bitch he truly was.

Will be different for you, Bro.  While you've bought off authorities, you will be publicly exposed.  In great detail.  In good time.  When I'm damned good and ready.  When exposure will do the maximum figurative damage to your goddamned sordid reputation.  -- Just the truth, brother dearest, however.  Just the truth.

Irony of ironies?  When the thieving son of a bitch died, and our mother was finally informed he had passed, she cried for her brother, -- the bastard thief who stole from her mother.  Sad, isn't it?  Too bad she's not still alive to see you publicly exposed for the goddamned thieving son of a bitch you, yourself, truly are.  As was he.  Not in a court of law you've bought off, however.  Right here.

In good time.  Again, when I'm damned good and ready.  Employing the very same tactics used against Amanda Wright of Wells Fargo.  -- On steroids, however, since all dirty family laundry will be aired.  All of it.  No threat.  A promise.  Emails sent to your neighbors, friends, professional associates, businesses you deal with.  Although an enormous amount of work, all doable courtesy of the Internet.  Despite being some 1,800 miles away.  -- Small world, isn't it, Bro?  Enjoy the stolen loot, you son of a bitch.  Forget?  It's all you have.


Brother dearest.  Save all the check stubs from the old man's accounts?  Fraudulently sign any of them yourself?  Think this material couldn't be obtained from the banks either through discovery or a criminal investigation?  Still own the house on Condict Rd.?   Any other properties besides this one and the old man's you stole with the help of your shyster bastard?  Be interesting to see how far your assets extend and where.  Think all that information isn't accessible?  That I won't determinedly obtain it?

That not only an extensive Internet search will be conducted that will likely take months to complete?  But an extensive background check as well?  Think the Catholic high school you attended shouldn't be informed of the thievery of one of its graduates?  Think the clerics there would be appalled at their failure to teach you right from wrong?  How about both universities?  Think neighbors in the old man's neighborhood won't be informed of your deception?  Think they don't have a right to know?

Ever follow the advice of Dr. Bert Wiser, psychological statistics professor at MSU?  That is, get treatment for your achingly debilitating instability?  Is that why you wound up looting the old man?  Or, is it simply a convenient excuse you'll use to defend the indefensible?  Think this will end any time soon?  That is, public exposure of you as a thieving son of a bitch?  We're just getting started, Bro.  Just getting started.

Don't like it?  Tough shit.  Sue me you thieving son of a bitch.  Would use discovery to learn and post on this website all there is to know about you, your activities, predilections, business 'deals,' as well as all your financial transactions, etc..  All of it.  Would certainly avoid the expense of an extensive background check on you, thieving brother dearest.

Even if you were successful in court, there is nothing for you to take, this remains, as well, a homesteading state where minimal assets are protected anyway.  This site is hosted in an overseas country that doesn't particularly like government intrusion, remains not prone to cooperate.  Besides, can always upload to another webhost in still yet another country.  The possibilities are endless, Bro.  Just takes willingness, effort, unshakable determination.

Even if I lost it all would be more than worth it to expose you for the goddamned thieving son of a bitch you truly are.  Even if you bribed a goddamned nazi 'judge' to remove posted material, would not cooperate and be more than willing to rot in jail.  Would certainly keep reposting it all no matter the cost and/or personal consequences every time it was taken down.  Forget, you thieving son of a bitch?  I never ever give up.

Since all I seek is your exposure for the thief you truly are, would all be worth it.  For the sake of principle.  All the work, financial cost, as well as the time I am about to dedicate to this effort, you deceptive, unstable, sick, thieving son of a bitch.  Unlike you, I live on principle and have absolutely nothing to lose.  You do.  Will certainly take great pleasure and satisfaction in doing all I can to publicly expose you for whom and what you are.

To say nothing of placing enormous pressure on prosecutors you and your equally corrupt shyster son of a bitch apparently bribed.  Don't like it?  Again, tough shit. Chew harder.  The public needs to know to protect itself.  From you and your shyster bastard.  People who live and travel in your circles as well.  Including his.  As a thief, you and he can't be trusted by anyone.  You'll determinedly f--k them.

More than willing to provide this truly public service.  People certainly need to know whom and what you are.  What you have sadly become.  You certainly weren't brought up to be a thieving son of a bitch.  What happened?  Where did you lose yourself, Bro?  -- Never mind.  ... Truly doesn't matter.  Only your exposure.

TC 4-22-16


Hey, Bro?  Remember me?  How soon they conveniently forget.  ... Half asleep? -- Out to lunch?  ... In your own perverse little world?  That of a criminal?  Wake up.  Conveniently, gutlessly forget?  Insanely believe you're someway, somehow off the hook?  Think again.  We're not done.  You remain a thief who will be exposed for whom and what your are.  What you certainly have become.  No question about that.  Patience, you thieving son of a bitch.  Exposure is coming.  Promise.

Think I don't have time?  Truly believe the ongoing Presidential fiasco ends no matter who wins?  The murderous decay in law enforcement gets resolved any time soon?  Criminal Wells Fargo employees from local Kingsland bank manager Amanda S. Wright right up to and including CEO John Stumpf get prosecuted in the near future despite egregious criminal activity?  Wouldn't hold my breath, would you?

Think I don't have time to handle all this and your public exposure for the estate-stealing criminal son of a bitch you've truly become?  How could you steal from the old bastard, you incredibly sad sack of shit?  Certainly weren't brought up to be a thief.  What happened to you?  Where'd you lose yourself?

No question, 2017 will be a most remarkable, defining year for you, Bro.  Public exposure for the thieving piece of shit you've sadly become.  It's on the way. Promise.  Hope you sue.  Nothing for you to take.  Tough, isn't it?  Certainly, makes me judgment proof.  Will certainly, as well, take advantage of discovery.  Publish every detail I can get my hands on.  No matter the consequences.  Only consideration?  Prime directive?  Your exposure for whom and what you are.

Readers?  This not-so-brotherly piece of shit stole from our father.  Manipulated the old man to line his pockets.  Just like our uncle on my mother's side of the family did to my grandmother.  Runs in the family.  Our family.   ... Right, Bro?  This game now gets played my way, -- not yours, you son of a bitch.  That is, no more U.S. Mail tag.

Anything sent by mail will be refused, returned unopened.  Want contact?  Email.  libertyinperil@riseup.net.  Quick.  Easy.  Better yet?  A digital record.  Permanent.  Easily accessible.  Easily uploaded to this site when and if it becomes necessary.  The shyster bastard you hired to steal the estate shouldn't expect escape, either, from public exposure as the thieving piece of shit he, like you, truly both are.  Unscrupulous thieves.

Sincerely hope that piece of crap sues as well.  Nothing to take.  Discovery again would be published no matter the personal cost.  Nothing quite like public exposure, is there?  Especially, when it is nothing but the truth and there is absolutely nothing to lose exposing two pieces of criminal shit for whom and what they are.  Two pieces of gutless human excrement who looted an old man.  ... Right, Bro?

There is no better disinfectant than sunlight, readers.  Glaring sunlight.  Dazzling brilliance.  Amazing how the roaches run for cover.  Equally pointedly, how vermin on two legs manage to so easily prey on the elderly courtesy of the out of control fascist police-state we now live in.  While there'll never be any justice vis a vis this theft, there will be exposure to the brilliant light of day for both criminal perpetrators.  Count on it, you not-so-brotherly criminal son of a bitch.

TC 10-7-16


March 10, 2017

Whenever a cop does something heroic and/or of exceptional benefit to the community, it leads. Always.  A Plano officer certainly has heart.  Cares for his students, -- in style.  CBS News reports:

"When Officer Arthur Parker directs traffic in front of Clark High School in Plano, Texas, the 57-year-old keeps the cars and his body moving, surprising some drivers.  “I had a patrol call and say someone called and said there’s an officer drunk in the street. They got a real call,” Parker said.  But to students and staff who know Officer Parker, or OP as he’s called, it’s nothing new."

Indeed, -- and he was not drunk.  LOL.

"He has worked as a school resource officer for the past 27 years and he’s living stronger by keeping people safe and spreading joy.  “He makes them laugh,” said Janice Williams, the high school’s principal.  “My first impression was ‘oh my gosh, this is gonna be the person that’s gonna be protecting us’ because he did his normal goofy OP (Officer Parker) thing and went into some kind of character, and he’s kept me laughing ever since,” Williams said.  To keep students motivated, Parker even taught himself a tune on the harmonica for every situation."

Creative, isn't it?  A plus for good policing, good police-community relations, to say nothing of good rapport between police and students:

"To the teens at Clark High, he’s a confidant and confidence booster.  “OP, he really tries to find that connection,” said student Sapida Abbasi."  “He’s mostly just taught me how to be confident no matter what,” she said.  “When it’s fun. he’s always fun, when things get real, he’s strict,” said student Sirnic Mbua."

Indeed, a great cop:

"Last year, Officer Parker was voted Plano police officer of the year.  To show their appreciation, the students came up with a secret plan; They surprised the police veteran with a pep rally."

Think these kids won't turn out well?  Haven't benefited greatly by their experience with this officer?

"Parker believes making other people smile is the key to a happy life.  “I feel like I have so much to give, and I’m still not giving enough. Not many people have the opportunity or are aware of the power they have to make someone happy,” Parker said."

Hat's off, Officer Parker.  You're quite an inspiration and credit to the Department.


Body cameras are a remarkably good tool.  Certainly promote better police and community behavior during encounters.  A good source of evidence as well, when used properly, to document an encounter.  Protect both the officer and all involved.  NPR reports:

"In 2014, the New Orleans Police Department made a bold move into body cameras, requiring all uniformed officers to wear them and record their contact with the public."

A good move by the department despite initial problems.

"The program got off to a rough start: NPR documented spotty use by officers, and, crucially, how hard it was for the office of the city's independent police monitor — which handles complaints about police misconduct — to gain access to videos of police use of force.  Three years on, the cameras have become part of the everyday routine, improving the local law enforcement culture, but also creating new burdens."

Badly needed change always presents issues to be resolved.

"Officers now turn on the cameras in nearly 100 percent of the incidents in which they're required to, according to internal audits. The improvements came after the department clarified the disciplinary consequences for failing to do so."

Imagine that.  Couldn't be, could it?

"And the videos are more available to Susan Hutson, the city's independent police monitor. "There's almost always some type of video" for her to see now, she says.  "The New Orleans Police Department has come a long way, no doubt," Hutson says, though she's still pressing for easier access."

Access should never be an issue.  Ever.  ... Unless, of course, corrupt, abusive police desperately try to hide malfeasance.

"Right now, the police department refuses to give her physical custody of the videos, forcing her and her staff to come to the department to see them.  "We continue to fight this battle," she says. "That's what 2017 is for us — access to all these systems."

Again, why is this an issue?  If police are afraid evidence could be lost, why aren't they providing her certified copies?  Copies that are digitally produced, encrypted, and electronically sent her?

"The Orleans Public Defenders office has a similar assessment. The chief of trials, Danny Engelberg, says the videos are being recorded regularly, and the cameras have had a positive effect on police conduct."

Not only on police conduct, however, but also the behavior of all those involved in the encounter.

"They can't get away with some of the practices they used to," Engelberg says. "Busting into people's houses, going into people's cars, just coming up to people and searching them with impunity, and we just aren't seeing as much of that."

That's good.  Civilizes the jackbooted bastards in blue.

"And the videos sometimes bolster defendants' cases: Engelberg says videos have helped clients by showing they weren't read their rights at the correct time, or — in one extreme case — when an officer appeared to try to angle the camera away when he planted drugs on a suspect. Engelberg says the camera caught it anyway."

A cop who plants contraband, a 'throw away gun,' etc., needs not only be prosecuted, but permanently lose peace officer certification.  Nationwide.

There is one downside to all this.  Takes police, prosecutors, and defense attorneys hours to sift through all the video.  That likely won't forever remain an  issue as highly reliable artificial intelligence systems are designed, improved, and deployed.


Consider the following.   KSL reports:

"Two Provo police officers are getting some recognition on social media for the way they responded to a domestic assault call.  Officers Lauren Loch and Joshua Combs responded to an assault call at 974 W. 600 South on Feb. 2. They said this is a routine call, but when they got there, they found a woman whose husband had violently threatened her, then left with her cellphone and all her food."

Gets worse:

"But what really made the officers feel for the woman was the fact that she was wheelchair bound — an amputee — with no means to fend for herself in that moment and no way to get to the nearest store to buy more food."

Has to be a special place reserved in Hell for a son of a bitch who would do something like this.

“She was just trying to downplay it and say, ‘Oh, I can wait until tomorrow,’” Combs said. “Which I’m sure she could have, but why should she have to?”  So Combs and Loch went to a nearby Smith's grocery store and bought groceries for the women. When they returned, the woman said she was going to make them a sandwich."

Hat's off to the officers.

"The woman’s husband was arrested later that night."


Another story about a great cop.  CBS Philly reports:

"A Camden County [NJ] police officer is being recognized for the kindness and compassion she showed toward a homeless man.  On the morning of Feb 17, Officer Clarimar Rodriguez was on foot patrol when she saw a homeless man, who she had met several times previously.  “She began talking to the man who told her that he hadn’t had a haircut for several years and was trying to get one,” said Camden police in a Facebook post.  Officer Rodriguez then walked the man to a nearby barber shop and treated him to a haircut."

The skeptic in me wonders whether or not this is no more than a public relations ploy, -- but still credit has to be given when due.

“Officer Rodriguez has consistently recognized that her job is also caring about the well-being of all the members in the community she serves,” said Lt. Jason Pike. “Her willingness to help this gentleman shows she has the dedication it takes to be a Camden County police officer.”  Officer Rodriguez was honored with “Officer of the Week” for setting an example of what it means to put service before herself, police said."

Whether or not all this was staged for public relations purposes, if the guy got a hair cut who couldn't afford one, so be it.  Then again, if the same department harassed this guy in the past and others for being homeless, that's another matter.  Sadly, truth remains a moving target.


Wake up, Sheriff.  Again, where is dashcam video of the killing of Jeffrey Gray Wise, 52, of Austin by DPS and the Llano County Sheriff's Office?  Forty-six weeks, now.  A goddamned disgrace.  Why are you still sitting on this information?  What are you hiding, Sheriff?  What is the identity of the officers who killed Wise?  Too gutless to release this information to the public that pays your salary and that of your goons?  Reportedly, there were three officers involved in the shooting.

Who are they, Sheriff?  Their past history?  An ongoing investigation remains a lame bullshit excuse.  How can you and your goons be trusted when you refuse to disclose information?  Forty-six weeks.  Especially, your egregious failure to disclose the identity of the officers who pulled the trigger.  To cover your sorry ass, Sheriff?  Those of your thugs?  The people have a right to know what happened, how it went down.  You don't understand that, Sheriff?  Sadly, clearly, you answer to no one.  Including taxpayers.  Especially, taxpayers.

Until you and your goons come clean, doubt will remain this was indeed a good shoot.  The longer you drag your feet, the greater the doubt.  Think not?  Wake up.  Your credibility has tanked.  Isn't getting any better as this bullshit continues unabated.  Forty-six weeks.   Still no identification of the officers involved  ... Can't get your stories straight?  In line?  Discrepancy between LCSO and DPS? Wake up, Sheriff.  The public no longer buys the bullshit.  No longer trusts you.  On this and many, many other issues.  You have no credibility.  Absolutely, none.

Readers, this is but one of about four other highly questionable killings by law enforcement in Llano County in the last decade or so.  There was one within the City of Llano, another in a field near Fuzzy's Corner, Buchanan Dam, yet another in Point Tella, Buchanan Dam, still another in Tow.  If there are any others I may have neglected to mention, kindly email.

It's time the public be fully informed.  -- Know what we're dealing with here and how 'law' 'enforcement' operates in this hell hole County.  If these jackbooted bastards are not reined in, the life lost could be yours courtesy of a law enforcement system that is no longer accountable to anyone.  ... Right, Sheriff?  TL?  "Sonny Boy?"  Madam County Attorney?

The Sheriff seems to have no clue the people who pay him and his goons are entitled to know whom is killing whom and why.  This shit always seems to be swept under the carpet.  Ignored.  The attitude of these jackbooted sons of bitches is trust us.  They can't be.  They've lied too many times.  Refuse to be accountable to anyone.  We live in a goddamned fascist police-state where law enforcement does as it pleases.  Usually, with impunity.  That has to change.

The Texas Rangers have become rubber stamp to atrocities committed by law enforcement.  This also has to change.  No one is holding law enforcement accountable any longer.  No one.  No one in state or federal government. This is precisely why Ferguson triggered such an uproar.  There was no justice there.  None here.  None anywhere.  Officers are abusive, corrupt, inept.

Falsely ticket and arrest the innocent to line County coffers.  Court fees charged continue to be horrendous.  -- Aren't taxpayers already looted to pay these costs?  Aren't you boys not only double f--king those falsely accused, but taxpayers also hellaciously looted to pay the very same costs?   Yet, the criminal bastards in power in Llano continue to pile on the fees.  This is nothing more than goddamned bullshit.  This money finds its way into the pockets of the corrupt, abusive bastards who falsely believe they run and own this hell hole.

Would you believe the last time the Sheriff's Office happened to be 'audited' during the Garrett regime, reportedly, auditors couldn't figure out what went where and why?  Yet, surprise, surprise.  Nothing was done.  There has to be transparency.  There is none.  Why would these thieving bastards want any?  ... Right, Sheriff?  TL?  How else could they so easily steal and loot with virtual impunity?  Worse, this reinforces jackbooted power in this goddamned, godforsaken hell hole County.

The public has a right to know the histories of the Sheriff's goons.  Clearly, the Sheriff doesn't think so.  That is, where they came from.  Why they left where they were.  What is happening here is the Sheriff is using 'personnel matters' as a convenient excuse to deny the public access to the history of outrageously corrupt, abusive, inept officers who are no more than criminals themselves.

He's protecting his outrageously corrupt, abusive, inept jackbooted bastards.  Worse, the standards imposed by sheriff's offices statewide with the exception of metropolitan counties are well below those of DPS and city police departments.  Why?  So the corruption, abuse, ineptness, and outright stealing can continue unabated?  This has to change.  ... Can't have that, can we?  Sheriff?  TL?

The public should understand Llano County authorities have it all sewn up.  Did you know the Texas Attorney General does not have the authority to investigate and prosecute County authorities on his own?  The District Attorney has to call for an investigation by the Texas Rangers.  Then, the State can prosecute if it so chooses.

Consequently?  Guess what?  Nothing will happen.  Nothing ever does.  The goddamned corruption continues unabated until you, the public, pressure authorities.  Precisely, why we all enjoy the 'best' government money can buy.  Literally.  Without question, the corrupt, abusive, inept sons of bitches are all bought and paid for.  Firmly clamped to the taxpayer tit.  Dependent on money looted from innocent citizens caught in their web.  Phony fines and court costs cleverly designed to f--k the innocent and enrich the pieces of shit who falsely believe they run and own Llano County.  Right, Sheriff?  TL?  "Sonny Boy?"  Madam County Attorney?

Interestingly, the former Sheriff and District Attorney were reportedly forced to retire after an outrageous scandal involving a drunk driving police officer from out of town.  Including special treatment of the drunken son of a bitch that no other citizen caught doing the same would have been afforded.  An honest, honorable Llano County Deputy suffered the consequences.  Forget?  Great officers do not last in this hell hole County. ... Right, Sheriff?  TL?  "Sonny Boy?"  Madam County Attorney?

With all ongoing abuse in this goddamned County, one thing remains for damned sure.  We're just getting started, Sheriff.  You will continue to be exposed for whom and what you and your corrupt, abusive, inept jackbooted bastards have become, truly are, not what you phonies purport to be, that is, how you continue to f--k over a public you've falsely sworn to protect and defend.  -- Exposure, the only way short of an unwanted dreaded revolution to force desperately needed change in a goddamned fascist police-state. The Fourth Reich.

Have your jackbooted thugs been tested for steroids, Sheriff?  If you've nothing to hide, Bill, release the results of all drug testing.  'Personnel matters?'  Bullshit.  Looted taxpayers have the right to know.  They're footing the bill for all this goddamned corruption, abuse, ineptness.  When will you and the boys end the shakedowns?  Looting of the innocent to line County coffers?  No honor at all?

Where are your swastika armbands, you fascist son of a bitch?  You and your thugs remain out of uniform.  Once again, Sheriff, and ad nauseum, did you and/or your goons pressure Schilling to exit the race?  Did you steal the election?  If so, an aggressively stupid, achingly gutless public gets what it truly deserves.  One of the most corrupt, abusive, inept 'law' 'enforcement' agencies in our formerly great country.


Have any information, knowledge of, experience with a purportedly non-profit volunteer clean-up group called Looking Forward In Llano County affiliated with the Llano County Attorney's Office?  Email this publication at libertyinperil@openmailbox.org to provide information and/or arrange a meeting to discuss this matter.  If requested, your identity will be protected.  The question is quite simple.  Is this group what it claims to be and on the level?


Arlington PD apparently has more than its share of problems.  CW33 NewsFix reports:

"This time, the bad guys may be the ones in blue over at Arlington PD. Sixteen of their cops have reportedly resigned to avoid prosecution.  The suspected cops have been under investigation since last year after a random audit revealed they were turning in fake traffic tickets for at least three months.  Before the investigation was handed off to the grand jury, 11 cops decided to turn in their badge. As for the other five, well, it took a grand jury hearing over the weekend for them to make their grand exit and surrender their peace officer certificate."

Not good enough.  Nowhere near.  Need to be prosecuted.  If convicted, lose peace officer certification permanentlyAcross the nation.


In addition to abject corruption, abuse, malfeasance in law enforcement, racism is certainly part of the equation.  Think not?  Wake up.  NPR reports:

"A record number of people, at least 166, were exonerated last year after being wrongly convicted of crimes, according to the most recent annual report from the National Registry of Exonerations.  It's the third year in a row that data collected by a group of law schools showed a record number of exonerations in the U.S. — with 149 in 2015 and 125 the year before that."

The number of innocent falsely convicted and incarcerated is likely much higher.  Conveniently forget?  Prosecutors and law enforcement have nearly unlimited resources.  Those accused?  Far, far less.  After all, we now live in what is in effect a goddamned fascist police-state.  ... Right, Sheriff?  TL?  "Sonny Boy?"  Madam County Attorney?

"Using information on exonerations going back to 1989, the latest report also shows that black people continue to be more likely to be wrongly convicted in America than people of other races. There is no standardized reporting system for exonerations, but the registry is the most complete national data collected on the subject."

Why isn't our nazi government forced to keep these statistics?

"Take the crime of murder. Last year, the report collected data on 52 people who were exonerated of murder. More than half of them, 28, were black.  A companion report on race and wrongful conviction, also released Tuesday, states: "African Americans are only 13% of the American population but a majority of innocent defendants wrongfully convicted of crimes and later exonerated. They constitute 47% of the 1,900 [total] exonerations listed in the National Registry of Exonerations (as of October 2016)."

Bigoted Republican 'law and order' fascists falsely claim blacks are more likely to commit crimes.  Goddamned bullshit.  It's racist jackbooted bastards in blue, their handlers, and 'judges' legislating their perverse ideological and religious views from the bench that are directly responsible for all these false convictions.  ... Right, TL?

"As in past years, Texas leads the country in exonerations, many of them for nonviolent drug crimes. The report acknowledges that there are many possible reasons for the Texas numbers, including the possibility of a higher overall rate of wrongful conviction in the state, but it notes that the county that includes Houston has overturned dozens of convictions since it created a Conviction Integrity Unit to review past cases, and credits the unit with investigating questionable convictions.  Last year, The Texas Tribune reported that the state had paid 101 people who were wrongly convicted nearly $100 million over the previous 25 years."

This will not end any time soon.  Especially, with the Trump nazi and his henchmen in power.  Will likely worsen with the racist, misogynist, fascist Sessions nazi as U.S. Attorney General.  ... Right, TL?


Yet another egregious example of police malfeasance.  ABC News reports:

"Newly-released dashcam video purports to show the moment an 18-year-old Georgia man was killed by law enforcement deputies who deployed stun guns on him during a 2015 encounter.  In the early morning hours of Aug. 31, 2015, Nicholas Dyksma was driving a Toyota pickup truck on U.S. Highway 27 while being pursued by police in Columbus, Georgia, and crossed into Harris County, according to a civil lawsuit filed Feb. 14 in U.S. District Court Middle District of Georgia against members of the Harris County Sheriff's Office who were involved in the incident."

It's stupid to run from police.  Grants the criminal jackbooted bastards in blue carte blanche to murder.

"After Harris County deputies took over the pursuit, they were able to stop the truck by placing stop sticks around the seven-mile mark on the highway, near Hamilton. Once the truck was immobilized, at least one of the deputies allegedly smashed a car window and "forcibly removed" Dyksma from the car, according to the lawsuit."

Get worse, far worse:

"The deputies then used a Taser to force Dyksma to the car to be handcuffed, "pinning him to the ground with the weight of their bodies, and continued to do so even after he was handcuffed," according to the lawsuit. The officers' combined weight then allegedly cut off Dyksma's air supply "so that he was unable to breath," and the officers "did not stop applying pressure on his airway until after he lost consciousness."

Think 'extreme vetting' of these criminal jackbooted bastards in blue does any good?  Any good at all?  Wake up.

"Once the deputies realized that Dyksma was unconscious, they stopped applying pressure but "simply stood there and made no attempt to resuscitate him," even though at least one of them were trained in CPR, according to the lawsuit."

It's how these bastards get their cookies off.  Remain no better than those they arrest.

"It was not until the ambulance arrived some ten minutes later that Defendants made any attempt to perform CPR on Nicholas, and by then it was too late to revive him," the lawsuit states."

Apparently, that was the plan.  That is, let him die.  -- Make it look good.  ... After these goddamned bastards viciously assaulted him.

"In the video -- obtained last year by the Dyksma family's attorneys from authorities via the Georgia Open Records Act, but exclusively released this week by ABC affiliate WSB-TV in Atlanta -- four deputies can be seen approaching the truck with weapons drawn before they pull Dyksma out through the passenger side. They then appear to restrain Dyksma on the ground for several seconds."

Nothing quite like a video, is there?

"Nicholas Dyksma's death was ruled a homicide caused by stun guns, compression of the neck and torso and acute methamphetamine intoxication, according to a report by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation."

This is precisely how the criminal jackbooted bastards in blue operate.  That is, become judge, jury, and executioner.  Then, the public is expected to have faith and trust in law enforcement?  Give me a f--king break.  This shit goes on all over the country.  Usually, with impunity.  Must change.  Hear the rumble?  An unwanted dreaded second American revolution already catastrophically looming on the horizon.

"Dyksma's mother, Tammy Dyksma, told WSB-TV that she believes the deputy should be "punished." The family's attorney, Craig Jones, told WSB-TV that Dyksma was sleeping in his truck prior to the police pursuit.  "They woke him up and startled him, and he drove away," Jones said.  Dyksma was pronounced dead at a local hospital, according to a death certificate."

This, the 'best' law enforcement has to offer?  ... You goddamned Republican 'law and order' fascists here in Nazi Llano County believe the dead bastard got exactly what he deserved?  This, your vision for America under the Trump nazi?  A perversely f--ked up "law and order" nazi mentality?

"The Georgia Bureau of Investigation blamed the deputies' actions for Dyksma's death, stating that the Taser and compression of his neck and torso were to blame, as well as methamphetamine intoxication.  Dyksma's cause of death was determined to be "sudden death during an altercation with law enforcement, after deployment of an electroconductive device, with prone positioning, compression of the neck and torso, and acute methamphetamine intoxication," according to an autopsy report by filed by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation filed on Dec. 11, 2015. His death was also ruled a homicide."

Yet, these criminal jackbooted bastards in blue were not held accountable, not prosecuted.  Protected. Coddled.  In a goddamned fascist police-state.

"The deputies "knew or should have known that the continuous application of pressure to his torso could cause Nicholas Dyksma to asphyxiate and die, but they did so anyway and did not stop until he was dead or near death," the lawsuit alleges, adding that each of the deputies "acted unreasonably" in causing or contributing to Dyksma's death.  The lawsuit alleges that there was "no justification" for the "unreasonable" life-threatening force used against Dyksma because "he did not pose any immediate threat of death or serious bodily harm to" the deputies."

Sue the living shit out of the criminals involved, the department, and the goddamned county. Every time this bullshit goes down.  Should also serve as warning to the young.  Do drugs?  This can be the end result.

Take of CBS News?

"Harris County sheriff’s deputies approached Dyksma’s truck.  “Show me your f***ing hands!  Show me your f***ing hands right now!” one deputy could be heard saying in the video.  Police smashed his window and shot him with a taser. He was pulled from the truck and officers threw him to the ground and cuffed him. In the video you can see one officer put his knee on the back of Dyksma’s neck.  A few minutes later, officers noticed something was wrong.  “Is he alive?” a deputy asks.  Deputies originally responded to a call about a man sleeping in his truck. When they woke him, right away he took off. Once they caught and subdued him, and he stopped breathing, deputies didn’t start CPR until nearly 10 minutes later."


Talk about a soldier standing tall!  Get this.  Fox News reports:

"For the past six months, an active-duty Army major studying at the University of Miami has been taking pictures of city police cars he says were illegally parked.  The Miami New Times reported Wednesday that Glen Carr, who moved to Miami in August to study at the school, has sent at least 125 complaints—along with photographs to support his claim—to police departments in or around Miami-Dade County."

Imagine that.  Think they did anything about it?  Wake up.

“It’s not like I’m against them,” he told the paper. “I just want them to be better at what they do. I feel they don’t hold each other accountable.”

They ignore the law.

"Carr, who served for nine months at remote base near the Pakistan border just after the attacks of Sept. 11, started noticing police disobeying the same laws they enforce four years ago, when he was teaching his daughter how to drive. He said he saw two police cars speeding at 80 in a 55-mph-zone without their lights on."

Happens all the time here in Nazi Llano County, right, Sheriff?  TL?  "Sonny Boy?"  Madam County Attorney?

"Carr has been ignored by some law enforcement agencies, while others promised to look in to the matter. He said he submitted dozen complaints to Miami Police, but they all reportedly disappeared."

Imagine that.  Who'd 'a thunk it?

“I don’t know if they were losing them on purpose or by accident,” Carr said."

Give me a break.


United States Marines stand tall.  Rise to the occasion when there is wrong doing within their ranks.  The following is pathetic, unbecoming.  CBS News reports:

"The commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps is condemning the use of a secret Facebook page by some Marines to share nude photos of women, including female Marines. He’s urging victims to come forward if they believe they were harassed or abused, including over social media.  Gen. Robert Neller, in a sharp video message Tuesday, says hiding on social media and being disrespectful to other Marines is embarrassing to the Corps and to the nation. And says leaders must make sure that all Marines understand the rules governing conduct, including on social media."

Have to give the Marines great credit for not sweeping this under the carpet.

"A Marine Corps official told CBS News’ Cami McCormick on Sunday that when they learned of the private website, they started asking questions and “within hours the site was gone.”

Imagine that.

“Whoever runs it kept moving it, making it hard to even find what the scope of it was’, said the official, adding that the Naval Criminal Investigative Service is looking into the matter. The official expressed sympathy [for] the women involved."

Gets worse:

"Nude photographs of female Marines, veterans from other branches of the military and other women were shared on the Facebook page “Marines United,” and the posts included obscene and threatening comments. The Naval Criminal Investigative Service is investigating and the photographs were removed."

One has to wonder what these people were thinking.

"Top brass in the U.S. Marines have denounced the online misbehavior by Marines, which included photographing and sharing photos of women recruits and veterans and making salacious comments about them."  “There is no place for this type of demeaning or degrading behavior in our Corps,” said Sergeant Major Ronald L. Green, 18th Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps in a statement to CBS News."

Need to fully investigate and hold those responsible accountable.  Boot them out of the Corps.

"Possible victims can anonymously contact the Naval Criminal Investigative Service at 877-579-3648 via text or app. They can also use WarHorse.org to report harassment."


Here is aching proof, -- justice, for all practical purposes, no longer exists in our formerly great country. The Statesman reports:

"DOTHAN, ALA. -- Kharon Davis has spent nearly 10 years in jail...But Davis has had no trial.  There has been no jury, no verdict, no conviction.  Police say he killed a man in a drug deal gone wrong, but he hasn't had his day in court.  He's charged with capital murder and could face the death penalty.  Trial dates have come and gone, and it's now scheduled for September. By then, 10 years will have passed since the crime."


Cluelessly believe this remains a democratic republic?  Wake up.  Get this.  NBC News reports:

"When Kameelah Davis-Spears's son came home after nine months in juvenile detention for getting into a fistfight with a neighbor at school, she thought the worst was over.  Then, about a year later, she received a summons to meet with Steve Kaplan, a lawyer contracted by Philadelphia's Department of Human Services. Kaplan told Davis-Spears she owed $12,000 as child support for her son's time in detention."

No more than legalization of outright theft.

"He said he was cutting me 'a hell of a deal.' There was no back and forth. He just said, 'This is what you owe,'" Spears explained in written testimony. "I didn't have a lawyer there to help me. It felt so one-sided."

Should have promptly told the shyster son of a bitch to go f--k himself.

"Davis-Spears isn't alone. In fact, charging parents for their kids' incarceration is common in 19 states identified by a new Marshall Project investigation published in partnership with the Washington Post. In 28 more states, the Marshall Project found that the practice is allowed at the county level."

Continues?  This country cannot survive.  The dream is dead.

"Third-year law student Wesley Stevenson at Temple University in Philadelphia was puzzled by her latest law clinic assignment. She was told to represent low-income working parents being billed for their kids' incarceration.  "When I first heard about this, you know, I thought that I misunderstood," Stevenson explained, "As an idealistic law student I thought that this couldn't be something that the law was being used to do."  Along with the Philadelphia-based Youth Sentencing & Reentry Project (YS&RP), Stevenson and other Temple University law students in the Justice Lab, a clinic at Temple Law School's Sheller Center, tracked hundreds of Philadelphia parents whose wages and tax returns were being garnished to pay for their children's incarceration."

This is what our formerly great country has turned into.  A goddamned fascist police-state. The Fourth Reich.  This is precisely why an unwanted dreaded second American revolution catastrophically looms on the horizon.

"In August, the Juvenile Law Center, a national advocacy center based in Philadelphia, published a report on juvenile court costs and fees across the country and found that inability to pay these fees contributed to youth recidivism, forced children to stay in placement longer, and hindered families' ability to have a child's record expunged. In 26 states, children were sent to juvenile detention simply for their failure to pay up."

This remains a problem across the country.  Legalized theft.  Greed rules.

"Our juvenile justice system is about rehabilitation at its core. And this is doubly punishing children and families after they have come home, which makes it harder for them to continue to stay out of that system and to move on with their lives," said Lauren Fine, co-director of YS&RP."

Wouldn't want the achingly clueless 'law and order' Republican community be confused with the truth, would we?  Question.  Pointed question.  What the hell is a kid doing in detention whose 'crime' in school is a fist fight?  Educators have no clue how to handle this issue in house?  Have to resort to the criminal jackbooted bastards in blue and the courts?  Give me a f--king break.


Federal law enforcement has its panties in a wad.  Fox News reports:

"San Francisco has taken its defiance of the feds to a new level, ending its cooperation with the FBI in an anti-terror initiative begun after 9/11 - a move critics say could get innocent people killed."

A crock of shit.  A shameless crock of self-serving shit.  No more than delusional fear mongering by gutless federal goons too used to getting their way.

"Critics say the sanctuary city by  the bay's latest decision to forego cooperation with Washington, by dropping out of the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force, could put lives at risk. The JTTF has been credited with foiling 93 Islamist terrorist attacks and plots against the U.S. since 2001, including 12 this year, according to the Washington, D.C.-based Heritage Foundation. There are another 1,000 investigations into suspected terror activity nationwide."

How many of them truly bona fide?  Not just federal nazi storm troopers getting their cookies off abusing near limitless power?  Manufacturing non-existent 'threat' to justify their existence and continued federal funding?  These jackbooted bastards continue to falsely cry wolf.  Precisely, why they no longer have credibility.  To justify their continued assault on all civil and constitutional rights and liberties.  Consolidation of Executive power gutlessly imposed on this country by goddamned cowards in both major political parties after 9/11.

"These staggering statistics make the recent decision by the San Francisco police department to end the city’s partnership with the JTTF, at the behest of local activist groups that alleged Arabs and Muslims are wrongly targeted by the FBI and will be more so under the Trump administration, all the more concerning, said retired federal law enforcement officials."

"Staggering statistics" to whom?  Psychotic partisans on the Nazi Right?  Same gutless bastards who saw a "Red under every bed" nearly 70 years ago during the McCarthy era?  California no longer buys the bullshit.  Especially, after they've seen the Trump nazi and his henchmen abuse power rounding up the undocumented.  Most of whom are not criminals, have no criminal record.

Preventing people with green cards and valid visas from reentering this country until the judiciary put a temporary end to this goddamned bullshit.  Egregiously lying about the supposed non-existent exigent 'threat' to the country.  To extend the goddamned fascist police-state we already live in to The Fourth Reich.

Can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with bullshit.  These gutless, power hungry, jackbooted bastards in law enforcement conveniently forget domestic terrorism would not have even been a problem had we not put our noses where they didn't belong overseas.  Not continually tried to force our views on others via wars waged primarily to line the pockets of corporate war profiteers.

The chickens are finally coming home to roost.  Fewer and fewer buy this bullshit any longer.  Precisely, why our formerly great country remains so divided.  Time for American imperialism starting in 1950 and continuing to this very day to finally end.  Since 1950, fighting war after war to line corporate coffers.  Until that changes, terror will continue to be a problem.  Both overseas and domestically.

Snow ball's chance anything will change.  After all, it's how the corporate management suite, shareholders best line their pockets.  How their bought and paid for stooges at all levels and branches of government get their goddamned cookies off.  What webs we weave.  ... Hear the rumble?  An unwanted dreaded second American revolution already catastrophically looming on the horizon.


A most interesting case of a judge being investigated for allegedly hindering jackbooted ICE goons.  Get this.  Fox News reports:

"An Oregon judge is being investigated after she allegedly helped an illegal immigrant elude ICE agents in January by guiding the man through a private entrance at the courthouse."

Couldn't be, could it?  A judge wouldn't do something like that, would she?

"Multnomah County Judge Monica Heeranz was notified by court staff that ICE agents were waiting outside her courtroom to possibly apprehend Diddier Pacheco Salazar, a 22-year-old Mexican national attending a DUI hearing, U.S. Attorney Billy Willaims said.   Specific details about what happened inside the courtroom next is not clear. But Salazar reportedly somehow managed to leave the room using an employee exit."

Imagine that.  Be interesting to see how this winds up being resolved, no?


Think the LGBT community isn't targeted, harassed, falsely accused?  The Washington Times reports:

"A new study claims that lesbian, gay or bisexual individuals are three times as likely than straight people to end up in prison.  Published in the American Journal of Public Health, the study analyzed responses from more than 80,000 participants to gauge the percentage of sexual minorities who are incarcerated,” NBC News reported Friday.  For the purposes of the study, “sexual minority” is defined as anyone who self-identifies as LGBT or reported same-sex sexual behavior prior to being incarcerated, NBC reported."

The following is pathetic:

"All told, some 9.3 percent of men in prison and 6.2 percent in jail fell into the sexual minority category while it was dramatically higher for women, “a staggering 42.1 percent of the female prison population and 35.7 percent of women in jails.”  By comparison, the U.S. population at large, only 3.6 percent of men are gay or bisexual and only 3.4 percent of women are lesbian or bisexual."

Think they aren't targeted?  Profiled?  Think it won't get worse under the Trump nazi?  ... And his fascist compadre as U.S. Attorney General, the Sessions nazi?


In follow up to the last edition, the Sessions nazi, succumbing to growing political pressure, recused himself from pending and/or future investigations of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.  Fox News reports:

"Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced Thursday he will recuse himself from “any existing or future investigations” regarding the 2016 presidential campaign, while pushing back forcefully on allegations he misled Congress in past statements about contacts with Russia.  The attorney general held a press conference as he sought to calm the political firestorm over revelations he spoke twice with Russia’s ambassador last year despite telling senators during his confirmation hearing he had no “communications” with Moscow."

The Washington Times reports:

"Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer threw his weight behind the push Thursday for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to resign and a special prosecutor appointed to investigate ties between President Trump’s campaign and Russian spies.  Mr. Schumer said Mr. Sessions’ credibility as the country’s top law enforcement official had been undermined by revelations that he met with the Russian ambassador during the presidential race and then failed to disclose it when asked during confirmation hearings."

At best, the Sessions nazi misled Congress.  At worst, the fascist son of a bitch lied.  Either way, needs to resign.  As top law enforcement officer in the United States, his credibility remains zero.

Here is the critical exchange in question from the transcript courtesy of NBC News:

    "FRANKEN: OK. CNN has just published a story and I'm telling you this about a news story that's just been published. I'm not expecting you to know whether or not it's true or not. But CNN just published a story alleging that the intelligence community provided documents to the president-elect last week that included information that quote, "Russian operatives claimed to have compromising personal and financial information about Mr. Trump." These documents also allegedly say quote, "There was a continuing exchange of information during the campaign between Trump's surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government."

    "Now, again, I'm telling you this as it's coming out, so you know. But if it's true, it's obviously extremely serious and if there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of this campaign, what will you do?

    "SESSIONS: Senator Franken, I'm not aware of any of those activities. I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I didn't have -- did not have communications with the Russians, and I'm unable to comment on it."

Sessions did not tell the truth.  As the shyster he truly is, Sessions is now parsing his denial in the last quote above to defend the indefensible.  No matter what, has lost all credibility.  Certainly, highly reminiscent of former President Clinton disingenuously parsing the definition of the word "is."  To defend his lying under oath, falsely claiming not to have had sex with the intern.

The Sessions nazi has once again proven he's no more than a shyster lawyer in his recent letter to the committee.  Get this.  In amendment to his confirmation testimony, NPR reports:

"I responded: 'Senator Franken, I'm not aware of any of those activities. I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I didn't have — did not have communications with the Russians, and I'm unable to comment on it.'

"My answer was correct. As I noted in my public statement on March 2, 2017, I was surprised by the allegations in the question, which I had not heard before. I answered the question, which asked about a "continuing exchange of information during the campaign between Trump's surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government," honestly. I did not mention communications I had had with the Russian Ambassador over the years because the question did not ask about them."

Think this racist, misogynist, fascist sleaze ball isn't a shyster?

In follow up to the above, CNN reports:

"Minnesota Sen. Al Franken said he now believes that Attorney General Jeff Sessions committed perjury during his confirmation hearing when he did not disclose meetings with a Russian ambassador.  Sessions' response during the hearing to Franken's question about Russia and President Donald Trump's campaign was demonstrably false, Franken said Tuesday on CNN's "The Lead" with Jake Tapper.  "It's hard to come to any other conclusion than he just perjured himself," the Democratic member of the Senate Judiciary committee said."

Indeed, that's true. The son of a bitch lied under oath.

"Franken also said that Sessions' response to his contacts with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak coming to light has been insufficient -- Sessions on Monday submitted written responses to the committee, denying that he had answered Franken's question falsely.  "That's a ridiculous response. It's not a clarification at all," Franken said, adding that he had been waiting for Sessions' letter on Monday before accusing him of lying."

Much too kind to the lying son of a bitch, Senator.

"He said Sessions should come before the committee again in order to explain what had happened."

What for?  To spout more of the same old lying bullshit?  Needs to resign.  Democrats need to bring ferocious political pressure to bear.  Not only on the Sessions nazi, but Trump as well.

NBC News reports:

"Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Tuesday met with some of his most ardent opponents: leaders of civil rights organizations who are resisting the Justice Department's movement on a number of issues, from police reform to voting rights to immigration crackdowns to reported spikes in hate crimes.  The closed-door meeting was the culmination of attempts by both sides to begin a dialogue on some of the most divisive stances taken by the Trump administration. Among them, Sessions' decision to pull back the Justice Department's legal challenge to a strict voting rights law in Texas that the Obama administration said discriminated against minorities."

Why closed door?  Where's the goddamned transparency in the Trump regime?  Where?  Turned out to be a waste of time anyway.  Get this:

"NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund President Sherrilyn Ifill, whose organization had joined the government in fighting the law, said she and her colleagues heard about the shift last month while on a plane to Texas to argue the case.  Ifill said after the meeting Tuesday that she told Sessions how disappointed she was, and asked his agency to show more courtesy. She said she also asked Sessions to advise President Trump to back off claims of widespread voter fraud, which contradicts studies showing that illegal voting is rare."

Think it did any good? Wake up:

"He was impassive," Ifill said, describing Sessions' reaction. "There was no change in his expression and there was no comment to acknowledge that reality."  The Justice Department declined to comment on the meeting."

Aryan arrogant, achingly clueless, haughty nazis.  The Fourth Reich.

Coup de grace?

"The meeting came on a day weighted with historical significance: it was the 52nd anniversary of Bloody Sunday, a clash between police and marchers in Selma, Alabama over African-American voting rights. Sessions, a former federal prosecutor and U.S. senator, is from Selma."

This goddamned government needs to be challenged in court every step of the way as it continues to nazify our formerly great country.  Resistance must remain ferocious, but peaceful.  Otherwise, the criminal jackbooted bastards in blue take it as carte blanche to murder on the job.  Clearly, nazis in the Oval Office, Congress, and the Republican Party can't hear the rumble.  An unwanted dreaded second American revolution already catastrophically looming on the horizon.


In follow up to an earlier edition, seems Navy SEALS were 'punished' for flying a flag not authorized by the military, -- the Trump flag.  The Washington Times reports:

"Military officials say U.S. Navy SEALs have been punished for flying a “Trump” flag from a convoy in Louisville, Kentucky, on Jan. 29.  Some of America’s top warriors have been disciplined for allowing a convoy of eight Humvees traveling north on Interstate 65 to include a campaign flag used by President Trump’s supporters. Video of the incident was uploaded to social media sites by an anti-Trump organization called “Indivisible Kentucky.”

Not clear what the ultimate ramifications were:

"The number of SEALs involved in the incident and the nature of their punishment was not disclosed."

How convenient.  Just a slap on the wrist for soldiers who knew blatant partisanship is against regulations?


After Trump's speech to a joint session of Congress recently, ever wonder what Gold Star families thought of his recognition of Mrs. Owens?  The Washington Post reported:

"The families of U.S. service members who have died while serving their country are split on how they see President Trump’s recognition of a recent military widow at his first joint address to Congress, but they almost universally support her decision to accept Trump’s invitation to attend in the Capitol."

Indeed, quite an emotionally wrenching several minutes.

"The moment was the emotional apex of Trump’s speech Tuesday night, in which he said Senior Chief William “Ryan” Owens, a member of the elite SEAL Team 6, “died as he lived — a warrior and a hero, battling against terrorism and securing our nation.”

It's what came next that raised quite a bit of ire.

"The following moments sparked an outcry among critics of Trump, as he insisted that the Jan. 29 raid in Yemen in which the SEAL was killed “generated large amounts of vital intelligence that will lead to many more victories in the future against our enemy,” contradicting other U.S. officials briefed on the operation. The overlaying of grief and politics prompted allegations that Trump had politicized and exploited the situation for his own gain, rather than simply honoring the Owens family."

That's right.  Sickened many of us that night.  Worse, the Trump nazi lied about the effectiveness of the botched raid.

"Trump’s moment with Carryn Owens immediately lit up social-media networks, and was complicated in part by Trump’s remarks in a Fox News interview aired that morning in which he declined to accept responsibility for the mission, in which numerous civilians were also killed. The generals, Trump said, had “wanted to do” the operation and had “lost Ryan” — remarks that struck some as the president abdicating his role as commander in chief."

This is the problem with electing a clueless, gutless, narcissistic, nazi fuhrer as president.  ... Right, TL?

"The scene in the Capitol disgusted Silvia Earhart, a Gold Star wife and Army veteran. Trump’s actions, she said, showed once again that he likes using U.S. service members and their families as props. Earhart’s husband, Staff Sgt. Leslie Martin, was killed in a helicopter crash at Fort Bragg, N.C., in July 1997, and she said she struggled afterward even to attend a memorial service on base in honor of her husband and seven other soldiers who were killed."

Equally wrenching:

“I don’t think he recognized Ryan Owens at all,” Earhart said of the president. “He was recognizing the widow, and me personally as a widow, I never wanted the attention like that. I always wanted it directly on my husband and what he did and what he sacrificed. I kept saying, ‘Why are you showing her grief like that?’ It’s still so raw for her, and to be put up there on national television, I don’t think Trump was being genuine and authentic.”

Indeed.  No matter what, however, as Americans we sincerely thank her for her sacrifice as well as the rest of the Owens family.  No question, Mr. Owens is indeed a hero.  Gave his last full measure of service to his country.


Think Muslims don't stand tall?  Fox News reports:

"Following the desecration of hundreds of graves at Jewish cemeteries and wave after wave of hoax bomb threats against Jewish community centers and day schools around the nation, Muslim veterans are offering their support and vow to protect these places of worship."

Uncommon valor:

    "I'm a #MuslimMarine in Chicagoland area. If your synagogue or Jewish cemetery needs someone to stand guard, count me in. Islam requires it.
    — The Muslim Marine (@MuslimMarine) February 27, 2017

"Tayyid Rashid, a 40-year-old former member of the Marine Corps, behind the tweet told .mic: "As I watch this horrible thing unfold here, I felt terrible about what happened in St. Louis and this heinous event in Philadelphia. I was moved to tears. This is absolutely not right."

An exigent threat to a democratic republic, all civil and constitutional rights and liberties.

"The tweet has gone viral and has prompted other American Muslims to offer their support to the Jewish community."

Uncommon valor.  From a community that is under attack from the Trump nazi and his henchmen:

    "Houston area Jewish community I spent ten years protecting our country and I will gladly protect Jewish places of worship if you need me! https://t.co/nUQpTFwxvA
    — Khalid whalid (@Khalidwhalid1) February 28, 2017

    "I'm a Muslim in #Harrisburg. If your synagogue or community center needs someone 2 stand guard, I will stand guard 4 you. Islam requires it.

    "I'm no marine, but I'll stand guard if needed. https://t.co/qtSJ5YQ0JH

    — Qasim Rashid, Esq. (@MuslimIQ) February 27, 2017"

Hat's off. Uncommon valorBest of the best of what our country has to offer.


Truly believe the Trump nazi remains in control of himself?  ABC News reports:

"Before heading to his so-called winter White House in Palm Beach, Florida, on Friday, President Donald Trump summoned some of his senior staffers to the Oval Office and went "ballistic," a senior White House source told ABC News.  The president erupted with anger over the latest slew of news reports connecting Russia with the new administration — specifically the abrupt decision by Attorney General Jeff Sessions to recuse himself from investigations into Russian meddling in the 2016 campaign."

The Sessions nazi truly had no choice, -- other than resign in disgrace.  ... Which if he had any honor, any honor at all, would have quickly done.  Clearly, not.  Seems the Trump nazi's henchmen were only trying to save the 'President' from political blowback from the Sessions fiasco.

"Sources said the president felt Sessions' recusal was unnecessary and only served to embolden Trump's political opponents. Sessions made his announcement Thursday just as Trump returned to Washington from a trip to the USS Gerald R. Ford in Virginia for a speech about his agenda."

The Trump nazi is truly delusional if he thinks his opponents aren't already more than emboldened.  No one who believes in a democratic republic will stand by and not ferociously but peacefully challenge imposition of The Fourth Reich.

"Hours earlier, aboard the ship, Trump told reporters that he had "total" confidence in Sessions and saw no reason he should recuse himself."

Further proof the 'President' is delusional.  Not willing to face reality.

"We should have had a good week. We should have had a good weekend. But once again, back to Russia," a senior White House official said, expressing the frustration simmering in the West Wing after the news that week that Sessions failed to disclose during his confirmation process that he met with the Russian ambassador twice during the campaign. Sessions at the time was a senator on the Armed Services Committee and was helping the Trump campaign."

This fiasco will certainly continue until it is determined by investigation whether or not there was any collusion between the Trump nazi, his henchmen, and the Russians in the election.

"Among those gathered in the Oval Office on Friday: chief of staff Reince Priebus, chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon, White House counsel Don McGahn, press secretary Sean Spicer, newly hired communications director Mike Dubke, Trump son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner and his wife, first daughter Ivanka Trump, the sources said."

Nothing quite like a 'Happy Fizzies Party' in the Oval Office, is there?  LOL.

"With Marine One waiting on the South Lawn, Donald Trump and his team engaged in an animated exchange — captured by press pool cameras peering in through the windows. Trump then left the office for the helicopter, taking the hands of his young grandchildren and joined by Ivanka Trump and Kushner."

Clearly, trouble in paradise.  ... As the taxpayers were about to get royally f--ked for yet another junket on Air Force One to the Trump nazi's Florida Shangri-La.

"Priebus and Bannon had planned to join them on the trip, but after Donald Trump's eruption, those plans changed. One source said both men volunteered to stay behind in Washington, with another source saying the president seemed to concur that they should."

Imagine that.  Punishment for the Trump nazi's two most treasured fascist advisors.  Who'd 'a 'thunk' it?

"As Trump was in the air aboard Marine One headed for Air Force One on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews, a phone call was made from the West Wing to the team on board the president's plane with a directive to remove Priebus and Bannon from the manifest, sources said. They would not be going to the Sunshine State."

Poor little rich boy nazis.  Doesn't your heart bleed for the bastards?  Given a slap on the wrist for not doing the Trump nazi's bidding.  Can we stand it?


Think the following indicative of a president in control of his faculties?  NPR reports:

    "Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!
    — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 4, 2017

    "Is it legal for a sitting President to be "wire tapping" a race for president prior to an election? Turned down by court earlier. A NEW LOW!
    — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 4, 2017

    "I'd bet a good lawyer could make a great case out of the fact that President Obama was tapping my phones in October, just prior to Election!
    — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 4, 2017

    "How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!
    — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 4, 2017"

The Trump nazi offered no evidence, no proof.  Nothing.  More disturbing?  Get this:

"On Weekend Edition Saturday, NPR's Ron Elving notes the fact that Trump says he "just found out":

    "It appears perhaps to be a response to a narrative in Breitbart.com, the right-wing website that was previously published by Steve Bannon, the president's senior adviser.

    "There, you will find a narrative about how the Obama administration was so intent on thwarting Donald Trump last fall that they had much of the intelligence community doing everything it could to gather skullduggery and information about Donald Trump.

    "And that would have included, according to Donald Trump, wiretapping his phones. But there does not seem to be any direct evidence of that."

Again, the Bannon nazi seems to have quite an influence on Trump and the rest of his henchmen.

A spokesman for the former President reacted strongly to the tweets.  ABC News reports:

"A spokesman for former President Obama issued a strong denial to President Trump's accusation that the former commander-in-chief wiretapped Trump Tower phones during the election campaign.  "A cardinal rule of the Obama administration was that no White House official ever interfered with any independent investigation led by the Department of Justice," Obama spokesman Kevin Lewis said in a statement Saturday. "As part of that practice, neither President Obama nor any White House official ever ordered surveillance on any U.S. citizen. Any suggestion otherwise is simply false."

Trump offered no proof. Nothing at all.

"The former president was responding to a series of tweets Saturday morning by Trump claiming that the former president wiretapped phones in Trump Tower in New York City during the presidential campaign.  Trump offered no proof for his claims.  His accusation comes after an article ran Friday on the right-wing news site Breitbart claiming that the Obama administration obtained authorization to eavesdrop on the Trump campaign."

Interesting, isn't it?

"Later in the morning, Obama's former deputy national security adviser, Ben Rhodes, used Twitter to challenge Trump's claims.  "No president can order a wiretap," Rhodes, who continues to serve as a foreign-policy adviser to Obama post-presidency, said in one tweet. "Those restrictions were put in place to protect citizens from people like you."  In response to Trump's suggestion that a good lawyer could make the case that Obama tapped his phones, Rhodes tweeted, "No. They couldn't. Only a liar could do that."

That's right.  Think the Trump nazi fit for office?  Truly believe so?

In follow up, NPR reports:

"FBI Director James Comey has requested that the Justice Department publicly deny President Trump's allegation that President Barack Obama had ordered a wiretap of candidate Trump, a law enforcement official confirms to NPR's Carrie Johnson. The New York Times first broke that story. The Department of Justice has so far issued no comment on this development."

Fascinating, isn't it?

CNN reports:

"Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, a career intelligence official who had oversight of the US intelligence community in that role, said Sunday that Trump was not wiretapped by intelligence agencies nor did the FBI obtain a court order through the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to monitor Trump's phones.  "For the part of the national security apparatus that I oversaw as DNI, there was no wiretap activity mounted against the President-elect at the time, or as a candidate, or against his campaign," Clapper said Sunday morning on NBC's "Meet the Press."

In another article, CNN reports Congress nevertheless intends to proceed with an investigation of the Trump nazi's unsubstantiated claims:

"Democrats sharply criticized President Donald Trump's calls on lawmakers Sunday to investigate his baseless claim that former President Barack Obama tapped his phone.  Republicans, meanwhile, urged Trump to let the House and Senate intelligence committees do their jobs.  Both parties made clear that Trump's allegation -- which the White House has not offered any evidence to support, and which Obama administration officials emphatically deny -- won't be dropped anytime soon, as even GOP lawmakers who have backed Trump said they'd investigate.  Rep. Devin Nunes of California, the Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said his committee would look into whether the federal government was conducting wiretapping of campaign officials as part of the panel's investigation into Russian meddling in the US election."

In follow up to the above, Republicans may be finally smartening up a bit.  Get this.  CNN reports:

"The top Republicans investigating Russia's interference in the US election declined Tuesday to back up President Donald Trump's claims that then-President Barack Obama wiretapped his Manhattan headquarters last year -- leaving the White House on its own to explain the stunning allegation.  When pressed on whether he believed Trump's allegations, House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes -- one of Trump's strongest supporters in the House and a member of his transition team -- brushed aside the President's allegations.  "A lot of the things he says, you guys take literally," Nunes told reporters Tuesday."

Isn't that's what's expected of a president?  To take him at his word?  Clearly, not with the Trump nazi.  Insult to injury?

CBS News reports:

"The top Republican on the House intelligence committee said he has not seen any evidence to back President Donald Trump’s claim that the Obama administration wiretapped him during the 2016 campaign and suggested the news media were taking the president’s weekend tweets too literally."

Say what?

“The president is a neophyte to politics — he’s been doing this a little over a year,” Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., told reporters Tuesday. “I think a lot of the things he says, I think you guys sometimes take literally.”

Give me a f--king break.  This clueless piece of shit has to be kidding.  Conveniently, forget?  Telling the truth is a moral imperative.  Something that remains innate to character.  Either you have it or you don't.  Not learned on the job, you partisan piece of human excrement.


The Trump nazi signed a new executive order on immigration.  While there are major changes, it will likely be quickly challenged in court.  NPR reports:

"The new order, which is twice as long as the original and includes more details about the administration's reasoning behind its choices, is meant to "address previous concerns" from the courts, according to Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly. But it's not likely to be the end of legal challenges.  "I think everyone — and I assume the government as well — expects that there will be a new round of litigation," Omar Jadwat, director of the Immigrants' Rights Project at the ACLU, told NPR before the new order was released.  After the ban, he said in a statement that the new order is "a scaled-back version that shares the same fatal flaws."  Meanwhile, the signing of a new executive order doesn't necessarily spell the end of lawsuits against the old order."

Saddest of all?  None of this is necessary.  Vetting has already been extreme since the 9/11 catastrophe.  Interestingly, this will certainly make it far harder for the corporate management suite to quickly import cheap highly skilled foreign labor.  Think there won't be howls of protest from the bastards who truly run and own our formerly great country?

In follow up to the above, CBS News reports:

"Hawaii is planning a challenge to President Donald Trump’s revised travel ban."

Sue the living shit out of the bastards.

"A motion filed in federal court on Tuesday in Honolulu says the state wants to amend its existing lawsuit challenging Mr. Trump’s previous order.  The new order bars new visas for people from six Muslim-majority countries and temporarily shuts down America’s refugee program, affecting would-be visitors and immigrants from Iran, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen and Libya.  Hawaii’s lawsuit had been on hold while a nationwide injunction on the initial ban remained in place.  Hawaii plans to file its amended lawsuit on Wednesday."

Go for it.  Tie the bastards up in court.

"According to the motion, attorneys for the government had no position on the request to file the amended lawsuit."

Interesting, isn't it?

"State Attorney General Doug Chin has called the order, issued Monday, “nothing more than Muslim ban 2.0,” CBS affiliate KGMB reports.   In a filing in federal court Tuesday, the state said it intended to seek a temporary stay to the new order. The motion could be heard as early as March 15, a day before the revised ban goes into effect."

This needs to be done across the country.  The Trump nazi and henchmen are banning Muslims in direct violation of The First Amendment.


Trouble in nazi paradise?  Get this.  ABC News reports:

"The White House is staffing up its team of lawyers as it prepares for a complicated mix of ethics issues and policy fights ahead.  The Office of the White House Counsel has hired 26 attorneys, according to a staffing memo reviewed by The Associated Press. The team includes four attorneys who had been with the Washington mega-firm of Jones Day, the alma mater of White House Counsel Don McGahn."

Especially poignant, -- in view of the next article:


Think the following doesn't smack of Hitler's Third Reich?  CNN reports:

"Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly confirmed that the department is considering separating children from their parents at the border."

Emulating Adolf Hitler, Mr. Secretary?

"A senior DHS official had previously told CNN that the department was considering a proposal to separate children from adults when they are trying to enter the country illegally at the southern border.  The official told CNN the proposal is meant to deter the exploitation of children."

A crock of nazi shit.  Day is night, night is day, and shit smells perversely sweet to the Trump nazi and his goddamned henchmen.

"Leon Fresco, a former DOJ official in President Barack Obama's administration, said the previous administration considered, but ultimately rejected, the move.  "It was never implemented because the idea was that it was too detrimental to the safety of the children to separate them from their parents, and the thinking was it was always preferable to detain the family as a unit or release the family as the unit," Fresco said."

Not to Republican nazis.  Still think these hypocritical pieces of shit are the party of the family?  This sound Christian to you GOP fascists here in Nazi Llano County?

Get this.  In another article, CNN reports:

"The father, mother and three young children came to the United States with special immigration visas, granted because the father put himself in danger by working with American forces in Afghanistan, lawyers for the family said.  They landed in Los Angeles on Thursday and planned to take a connecting flight to Seattle, where they would settle.  But instead of rolling out the welcome mat, the federal government took them into custody, said Talia Inlender, a senior staff attorney for Public Counsel Law Firm."

Why would these goddamned jackbooted federal bastards do this?  Why?

"Federal agents separated the father from the others, held them four days and threatened to send them to detention centers, she said."

Why?  For what reason?  ... Other than this is how these jackbooted pieces of shit get their cookies off in a goddamned fascist police-state.

"Civil rights lawyers intervened. On Monday, four days after they were detained at the airport, a federal judge ordered the family freed from custody.
"It was a victory in a battle that should not have been fought in the first place," Robert Blume, one of the family's lawyers, said at a news conference Monday. "The government swung and missed on this one. They just got it wrong."  The family had been extensively vetted and approved for the special immigration visas (SIV), Blume said. They should never have been held, he said."

Doesn't matter to the Trump nazi and his henchmen.

"Officials with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have not explained why the family was placed in custody. Spokespersons for both agencies declined comment.  Court documents on ICE detainees are usually not available for people facing deportation because of executive orders issued by President Donald Trump. Documents filed by family lawyers say ICE and CBP never provided a reason."

This smacks of Nazi Germany.  Adolf Hitler, the SS, Gestapo.  Goddamned storm troopers.  We are no longer the country we used to be:

"The mother and children -- ages 7, 6 and 8 months -- were held in a downtown hotel and the father was sent to a detention center in Orange County, she said. They're not identified because of security reasons and are called "Does" in the court papers.  During the first two days, CBP wouldn't allow lawyers to talk to the family, Inlender said. Also, the mother doesn't speak English.  The lawyers said the special immigration visas should have cleared the way for the family. The father worked at a US government base where the Taliban took notice of locals who worked there, Blume said."

This man put his life and that of his family at risk FOR OUR TROOPS.    And this is how the Trump nazi, his henchmen, and the goddamned Republican Party treat him and his family?

"His service put not only his own life, but also the lives of his wife and three small children, at risk," the International Refugee Assistance Project said in a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. "The US government created the SIV program specifically to allow families like petitioners to immigrate to the US and live safely."

Don't you goddamned, clueless, Republican assholes understand what this means?  Who will aid our forces when this kind of bullshit goes on?  Thought you bastards were for the military.  Your silence is not only deafening, but achingly gutless. You're phonies.

Coup de grace?

"Background checks take several years, the petition said, because the government wants to make sure the immigrants don't pose a threat to the United States. Plus, having a valid SIV means the State Department and Homeland Security have already determined the family's lives were at risk.
IRAP court papers filed Saturday said, "Yet now, instead of gratefully welcoming Does 1-5 to the country they helped defend, the US government arrested all five family members --including an infant child -- detained them for more than two days, and held them incommunicado while denying them any access to counsel who seek to advise them and inform them of their rights."

This smacks of Nazi Germany.  Have lost ourselves.  Are no longer what we once were.  The Fourth Reich.  A raucous, boot clicking, goose stepping, treasonous, treacherous, traitorous Sieg Heil!, you fascist bastards. Gutless nazis.


Another massive data dump by WikiLeaks.  CBS News reports:

"WikiLeaks on Tuesday published thousands of documents purportedly taken from the Central Intelligence Agency’s Center for Cyber Intelligence, a dramatic release that appears to expose intimate details of America’s cyberespionage toolkit."

Gets worse:

"It was not immediately clear how WikiLeaks obtained the information, code-named “Vault7,” which included more than 8,700 documents and files. The CIA tools, if authentic, could undermine the confidence that consumers have in the safety and security of their computers, mobile devices and even smart TVs."

One thing for sure, none of these devices is truly secure.

"WikiLeaks said the material came from “an isolated, high-security network situated inside the CIA’s Center for Cyber Intelligence in Langley, Virginia.” It didn’t say how the files were removed, such as possibly by a rogue employee, by hacking a federal contractor working for the CIA or breaking into a staging server where such hacking tools might be temporarily stored."

Imagine that.  Couldn't be, could it?

"The more than 8,000 documents cover a host of technical topics, including what appears to be a discussion about how to compromise smart televisions and turn them into improvised surveillance devices. WikiLeaks said the data also include details on the agency’s efforts to subvert American software products and smartphones, including Apple’s iPhone, Google’s Android and Microsoft Windows."

How many of these devices do you own, operate, use, thinking they're secure?

"The information dump could not immediately be authenticated by The Associated Press, and the CIA declined comment, but WikiLeaks has a long track record of releasing top secret government documents. Experts who’ve started to sift through the material said that it appeared legitimate and that the release was almost certain to shake the CIA."

How about rattling the cage of the citizenry that trusts this government no matter what it does or doesn't do?  Wake up.  Get this:

"WikiLeaks said the archive “appears to have been circulated among former U.S. government hackers and contractors in an unauthorized manner, one of whom has provided WikiLeaks with portions of the archive.”

Comfortable?

"Bob Ayers, a retired U.S. intelligence official currently working as a security analyst, noted that WikiLeaks has promised to release more CIA documents.  “The damage right now is relatively high level,” he said. “The potential for really detailed damage will come in the following releases.”

Have to blame the digital industry for not making all devices highly secure, that is, developing and installing encryption that takes supercomputers years to crack.  Equally important?  Making it as difficult as possible to frustrate exploitation of device vulnerabilities, that is, "hacking the endpoint," as reported by The Washington Post:

"WikiLeaks said the trove comprised tools — including malware, viruses, trojans and weaponized “zero day” exploits — developed by a CIA entity known as the Engineering Development Group, part of a sprawling cyber directorate created in recent years as the agency shifted resources and attention to online espionage.  The digital files are designed to exploit vulnerabilities in consumer devices including Apple’s iPhone, Google’s Android software and Samsung television sets, according to WikiLeaks, which labeled the trove “Year Zero.”  In its news release, WikiLeaks said the files enable the agency to bypass popular encryption-enabled applications — including WhatsApp, Signal and Telegram — used by millions of people to safeguard their communications.  But experts said that rather than defeating the encryption of those applications, the CIA’s methods rely on exploiting vulnerabilities in the devices on which they are installed, a method referred to as “hacking the endpoint.”

Yet, the FBI Director remains oblivious to the fact device security and encryption need to be exponentially improved to protect us from our 'protectors.'  NBC News reports:

"FBI Director James Comey said Wednesday the bureau is renewing its focus on the challenges posed by the growing use of encryption."

Good to hear the bastard and his henchmen continue to have difficulty invading privacy.  He and his stooges will just have to work harder.  Much harder.  This, the price to be paid for privacy of the vast majority of the public who do not engage in criminal activity.

"At Boston College's cybersecurity conference Wednesday, Comey said that he a fan of "strong encryption" but noted that "it is making more and more of the room of what the FBI investigates dark."

The Director remains a liar.  No fan of encryption, period.  To claim otherwise is no more than unadulterated bullshit.

"Between September and November, the FBI received 2,800 devices it had lawful authority to open but could not open 1,200 of them "with any technique," he said."

Tough shit.  Get off your ass.  Do some old fashioned police work.  This, the price to be paid for the privacy of the vast majority of the public who commit no crimes.  Why should the law abiding forfeit privacy so you and your goons can more easily go on fishing expeditions, harass the innocent?  Why is it you gutless bastards in law enforcement get to lie with impunity to anyone you're targeting?  Yet, doesn't work the other way around.  Worse, you bastards distort and pervert what your targets tell you.  Turn it into something it's not.  Then prosecute them for lying.  No more than goddamned bullshit.

"He said there needs to a balance between privacy and the FBI's ability to lawfully access information, a conversation that he acknowledged will require some "humility" on the part of the bureau.  "We need to stop bumper-stickering each other. This isn't the 'FBI versus Apple,'" he said.  "We need to build trust between the government and private sector."

More bullshit.  Conveniently forgets he works ultimately for the public.  Needs our trust.  Not that of Apple or any other corporate entity.  Apple is beginning to understand to sell its products it must improve security, privacy.  You goddamned jackbooted bastards in law enforcement can't seem to understand this.


Think the following will please the Trump nazi?  CNN reports:

"General Motors is laying off 1,100 workers in Michigan -- the fourth layoff it's announced since November.  The company is eliminating the third shift at its Lansing Delta Township plant, which makes three SUVs built on the same platform -- the Chevrolet Traverse, the Buick Enclave and the GMC Acadia. But the new version of the Acadia is being built on a smaller platform, so production of that car moved to a Spring Hill, Tenn., plant last summer.  GM has been scaling back production and employment due to lower U.S. sales."

Thought the economy was booming.   Isn't that what the corporate management suite and its bought and paid for lackeys in government continually tell us?


Think David Letterman has any affection for the Trump nazi?  ABC News reports:

"David Letterman retired from late-night television in 2015, but that doesn't stop him from thinking about how he'd handle the Trump administration were he still on the air.  During his 33 years on late-night television -- including on "Late Night with David Letterman" and the "Late Show with David Letterman" -- Letterman interviewed now-President Donald Trump many times, but said it was mostly for laughs."

You don't say.  Who'd 'a 'thunk' it?

"He was a joke of a wealthy guy," he told Vulture. "We didn't take him seriously. He'd sit down, and I would just start making fun of him. He never had any retort. He was big and doughy, and you could beat him up. He seemed to have a good time, and the audience loved it, and that was Donald Trump."

Gets worse:

"In addition to every other thing that's wrong with the Trump, he's ignorant in a way that's insulting to the office, insulting to America, insulting to human rights, insulting to civil rights, insulting to John Lewis," said Letterman."

Goes on and on, but that's quite enough.  LOL.


Resistance against the Trump nazi is growing overseas.  NPR reports:

"At a conference in Brussels on Thursday, more than a dozen nations and private funders pledged a combined total of $190 million for international family planning charities that stand to lose their U.S. support as a result of President Trump's Jan. 23 executive action to block U.S. foreign aid funding of groups linked to abortion."

How sweet it is.  -- That is, resistance to the Trump nazi, his outrageously perverse ideological and religious views he's desperately trying to force on others.

"The policy disqualifies organizations that perform abortions or advocate for the procedure's legalization, as well as those that provide patients with basic information about abortion or medical referrals to obtain the procedure."

The Trump nazi, his henchmen, as well as GOP fascists in the Republican Party have certainly shown their true colors, profound ignorance.


Seems the Trump nazi and his henchmen may be finally smartening up on the unresolved Israeli annexation of Palestinian land issue.  ABC News reports:

"The Trump administration has explicitly warned Israel against annexing parts of the occupied West Bank, saying it would trigger an "immediate crisis" between the two close allies, Israel's defense minister said Monday.  It was the latest indication that President Donald Trump is returning to more traditional U.S. policy and will not give Israel free rein to expand its control over the West Bank and sideline the Palestinians, as Israeli nationalists had hoped."

If true, about time.

"Speaking in parliament, Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said U.S. officials had been clear in their opposition to Israeli annexation of West Bank land — a notion that has gained steam in far-right Israeli circles since Trump's election.  "We received a direct message — not an indirect message and not a hint — from the United States. Imposing Israeli sovereignty on Judea and Samaria would mean an immediate crisis with the new administration," Lieberman said, shortly before departing for a working visit to the U.S.  Judea and Samaria is the biblical term for the West Bank, which Israel captured in the 1967 Mideast war. The Palestinians seek the West Bank as the heartland of a future state, a position that has wide international backing."

The Israelis clearly do not want a two-state solution.  Want it all.  They're not going to get it all.  Their intransigence guaranties continual warfare, that is, terror.

Palestinians will never settle for the following:

"The angry U.S. reaction was sparked by comments by Miki Zohar, a junior lawmaker in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's nationalist Likud Party.  Zohar is among a growing number of coalition members who reject the internationally backed idea of a Palestinian state and instead suggested that Israel annex the West Bank.  Under this version of a "one-state" scenario, the West Bank's more than 2 million Palestinians would receive expanded autonomy, but not hold full Israeli citizenship or be allowed to vote for the Knesset, or parliament. Although Netanyahu has not endorsed the one-state vision, many in his coalition do.  "The two-state solution is dead," Zohar told i24NEWS, an Israeli TV channel. "What is left is a one-state solution with the Arabs here as, not as full citizenship, because full citizenship can let them to vote to the Knesset."

Goddamned bullshit.  If enacted, guaranties Israelis will one day wind up in the sea as sadly threatened by their Arab neighbors for decades.

"One state at this moment means apartheid," Ayman Odeh, leader of the Joint List of Arab parties in parliament, told foreign reporters Monday. "I think there needs to be great pressure for a Palestinian state to be established on the 1967 borders."

If not, Israel has no chance of peace.  Now or in the future.  Will ultimately wind up with no country at all.


During his speech to a joint session of Congress, the Trump nazi falsely implied crime runs rampant in the undocumented immigrant community.  A lie.  Does not.  In fact, quite the opposite.  Phony propaganda.  Indeed, a tactic used by Hitler against the Jews decades ago.  The Washington Post reports:

"There's a reason Trump's opponents are so worried. This strategy — one designed to single out a particular group of people, suggesting that there's something particularly sinister about how they behave — was employed to great effect by Adolf Hitler and his allies. In the 1930s, the Nazis used a similar tactic to stir up anger and hatred toward Jews. Professor Richard Weikart of California State University explained that Nazi leaders used different kinds of communication tools to sell the message that “Jews are criminal by disposition,” as a 1943 Nazi directive to the German press put it. “The Jews are not a nation like other nations but bearers of hereditary criminality,” the order said. Germany, in other words, was out of control, and only Nazi anti-Semitic policies could “restore order.”

Sounds chillingly familiar, doesn't it?  Wake up.  You've been bamboozled.  Sold a phony bill of goods.


The Trump nazi is reneging. The Washington Times reports:

"President Trump’s pledge that new pipeline projects will use “American steel” will not apply to the Keystone XL project, according to media reports, directly contradicting the president’s own words last week.  Politico reported late Thursday night that a White House spokeswoman explained that the project, which has been in the works for the past decade, does not count as a “new” or “retrofitted” pipeline, and therefore is not subject to Mr. Trump’s made-in-America requirement.  Comments from TransCanada, the company proposing the project, on Friday morning seem to confirm the firm will not be forced to use all U.S. steel."

Think Trump's sick sycophants will remain happy campers?


The Trump nazi and his henchmen don't seem to think the law applies to them.   NPR reports:

"The firestorm over Kellyanne Conway's endorsement of Ivanka Trump's clothing line continued this week. In a letter to Office of Government Ethics Director Walter Shaub Jr., White House Deputy Counsel Stefan Passantino determined that Conway had "acted inadvertently" and promoted Trump's products "without nefarious motive or intent to benefit personally."

That excuses her?

"That made headlines, coming two weeks after Shaub had advised that there was "strong reason to believe" that "disciplinary action is warranted" against Conway.  But ethics experts say that one little-noticed section of the letter raises far more urgent questions than Conway's fashion comments.  Who has to follow the rules?"

Apparently, no one in the Trump regime:

"Near the start of his letter, Passantino described the White House's approach to ethics, making a sweeping claim about how ethics regulations apply (or don't) to Executive Office employees:

"We note initially that although many regulations promulgated by the Office of Government Ethics ("OGE") do not apply to employees of the Executive Office of the President, the Office of the White House Counsel has instructed all such employees to abide by 3 CFR 100.1..."

"The assertion that broad swaths of federal ethics regulations do not apply to people who work in the Executive Office of the President — and the fact that the White House didn't lay out explicitly which regulations it believes don't apply — sets the Trump White House apart from past administrations, says Richard Painter, who served as the George W. Bush administration's chief ethics lawyer from 2005 to 2007."

Indeed, the mark of a fascist dictator.

"[E]very White House has instructed employees that these OGE rules are binding rules for White House and other EOP staff," he wrote in an email to NPR. "The only exception is the President and in some cases the Vice President."  Because of the broad, nonspecific nature of what Passantino wrote, Painter advised that the ethics office should work to get more answers."

Indeed.


Trouble in paradise?  That is, in the Trump nazi's corporate cronies' world?  NPR reports:

"Agents from several federal law enforcement organizations were searching three of Caterpillar's facilities in Illinois on Thursday — including the company's Peoria headquarters.  It's not clear exactly what the agents were looking for.  Sharon Paul of the U.S. Attorney's Office would say only that multiple agencies — including the Internal Revenue Service's Criminal Investigation Division and the Commerce Department's Office of Export Enforcement, were at Caterpillar facilities in Peoria, East Peoria and Morton, Ill."

Imagine that.

"The Peoria Journal Star reported that the search "appears to stem from revelations about the company's tax strategy as outlined in a 2009 federal wrongful termination lawsuit brought by Daniel Schlicksup."  The newspaper adds that:  "The lawsuit alleged the company shifted profits overseas and to offshore shell companies to avoid paying more than $2 billion in U.S. taxes. Schlicksup settled the suit in 2012.  "Caterpillar, in its annual 10-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission last month, acknowledged a criminal investigation into the tax strategy."

Can the corporate management suite, shareholders ever get enough?  The Trump nazi and his henchmen now wish to give these bastards additional tax breaks?  No more than corporate welfare?  At a time of record corporate profits and cash reserves across the country?  Should our fascist 'president' successfully do so, guess who pays?  Makes up the difference?  Forget?  The people on the bottom of the food chain pay little to no taxes. Can-you-say- middle-class?


Apparently, the Trump nazi and his henchmen care little for human rights.  CBS News reports:

"Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has been under fire from Republican Sen. Marco Rubio – along with human rights groups - for not honoring the long tradition of personally unveiling the State Department’s annual Human Rights Report, which is expected Friday.

    "For 1st time in a long time @StateDept #humanrights report will not be presented by Secretary of State. I hope they reconsider.
    — Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) March 3, 2017"

This, coming from one Republican directed against another.  Fascinating, isn't it?

"Human rights groups and diplomats are asking whether this is a sign that the Trump administration will carry out a transactional style of diplomacy that does not emphasize defense of human rights as an American priority. Tom Malinowski, who served as assistant secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor in  the Obama Administration, also tweeted about “MIA Tillerson.”

    "Every SecState since at least Warren Christopher personally released the human rights reports. MIA Tillerson - bad for him and the country. https://t.co/kzebqqEu0A
    — Tom Malinowski (@Malinowski) March 3, 2017"

Clearly, the Trump nazi has little to no concern regarding evisceration of civil and constitutional rights and liberties in our formerly great country, -- as well as human rights in the U.S. and across the world.

“Where is Tillerson? Unlike other secretaries of state, he’s hiding rather than release annual rights report today,” Kenneth Roth, the President of Human Rights Watch, posted on twitter."

No guts, no glory.

"Kenneth Roth, the president of Human Rights Watch, wondered whether there might be another reason Tillerson was opting out.

    "Is Tillerson skipping release of State Dept's annual human rights report to avoid answering questions about Trump? https://t.co/RTsAGTbekO pic.twitter.com/WTiWhq0Vbc
    — Kenneth Roth (@KenRoth) March 3, 2017"

Likely, also a significant ongoing dilemma for Tillerson?  Get this:

"Since taking office last month, Tillerson has been largely silent. His absence from White House meetings with key foreign leaders and the recent budget proposal to slice foreign aid by 30 percent or more has raised questions about the degree of influence Tillerson has within the Trump administration. Senior aides insist that the former Exxon Mobil CEO speaks frequently by phone with the president and has simply adopted a careful, deliberate approach to the job."

Can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with bullshit?  Be interesting to see how long Tillerson lasts in the job.  Must not be forgotten ole Rex is used to running the show as former ExxonMobil CEO.  Had to have been quite a step down for the corporate son of a bitch.

"Next week the State Department will resume some briefings – though not daily ones - starting Mar. 6. The last briefing was Jan. 19, the last full day of the Obama administration. According to the Associated Press, that hiatus is believed to be the longest since the department began holding news briefings in the 1950s."

As reported earlier in this publication and elsewhere, the Trump nazi and his henchmen seem to be micro managing diplomacy from the Oval Office.  Rather than letting trained career professionals do their jobs in the State Department.

Take of CNN?  Get this:

"Nearly a month into his tenure as secretary of state, Rex Tillerson is winning over foreign governments but alienating many employees at the agency he leads and raising questions about his ability to wield power in Washington."

Interesting, isn't it?

"Meanwhile, Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and a top adviser, is emerging as a shadow secretary of state -- a key interlocutor with world leaders and ambassadors and the keeper of prized diplomatic files like the Middle East peace process. Steve Bannon, Trump's chief political strategist, has also taken on an outsized role in formulating foreign policy."

Seems Tillerson's days are numbered.  Apparently, the Trump nazi and his top henchmen only wanted  a figurehead at State.  Hard to believe Tillerson will  continue to oblige.

"Tillerson is still lacking much of his senior staff and, according to two sources familiar with the discussions, is in a struggle with the White House over choosing appointments after President Donald Trump vetoed his choice for deputy secretary. Questions about Tillerson's influence have spilled out into the open. Media reports that he has been marginalized abound, including a blistering New York Times editorial titled "Calling Secretary Tillerson." And the perception among the State Department rank-and-file is chilling."

Still think his days aren't numbered?


The State of Texas desperately wishes no interference from federal authorities as it continues nazifying.  Think that bullshit?  Wake upThe Washington Times reports:

"The Republican-led Texas Senate voted Tuesday in favor of convening a constitutional convention as Lone Star State lawmakers look to rein in Washington and limit the federal government from “stiff-arming the states.”

That is, these nazi GOP bastards wish to continue imposing their outrageously perverse ideological and religious views on all by statute.  Do so with impunity.  No federal oversight.

"Lawmakers advanced a package of bills during 20-11 vote effectively putting Texas on the path to join a growing effort aimed at summoning a Convention of States — a method of altering the U.S. Constitution that hasn’t occurred since the late 18th century."

To impose nazism.  Do so with impunity.  Shit on all civil and constitutional rights and liberties.  The Fourth Reich.

Coup de grace?  Insult to injury.  Get this:

"Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican who made convening a Convention of States an emergency item for the current legislative session, applauded the Senate’s vote."

Bet he did.  This goddamned Republican nazi  wants absolute, un-reined power, to impose his goddamned perverse ideological and religious views on the rest of us.

“Our nation is succumbing to the caprice of man that our Founders fought to escape, and I am encouraged that the Texas Senate has taken the first step in joining other states from across the country in reversing that trend,” Abbott said in a statement on Tuesday."

You're a prime example of that which you criticize, Mr. Abbott.  Where is your swastika armband, Governor?  Readers are again reminded this goddamned nazi, as Texas Attorney General, failed to not only take action against one of his corporate masters, Wells Fargo, but callously refused to answer the complaint.  Has Wells Fargo lined your pockets, sir?

“For decades, the federal government has grown out of control, increasingly abandoning the Constitution while stiff-arming the states and ignoring its citizens,” Mr. Abbott said."

So has the State of Texas, you achingly clueless, fascist son of a bitch.

“This isn’t a problem caused by one president and it won’t be solved by one president — it must be fixed by the people themselves.”

Certainly will be, Governor.  No question about that.  You and your GOP nazis are the problem.  Think the public won't eventually wake up?  Why do you think peaceful resistance has exponentially grown as the Trump nazi, his henchmen, and the nazi State of Texas continue to concertedly shit on all civil and constitutional rights and liberties?


Support of draconian jackbooted immigration policies is waning in Trump country.  Get this.  CBS News reports:

"An undocumented immigrant whose arrest pushed an Illinois town into the center of the national immigration debate has been freed from a detention center. Juan Carlos Hernandez Pacheco was released Wednesday on $3,000 bond. Immigration agents took him into custody last month.  His detention led to an outcry from residents and elected officials – many of them supporters of President Trump – in West Frankfort. The president won the county with more than 70 percent of the vote."

Fascinating, isn't it?  ... Trouble in Trump paradise?

"About 8,000 people live in West Frankfort, and judging by the response, many of them know Hernandez. They say he’s an important member of the community, reports CBS News correspondent Anna Werner. The question is: Will he be allowed to stay?  The community raised money to bring their friend home in style to his family after nearly three weeks in detention. He’s an undocumented immigrant they claim as one of their own."

Imagine that.  Couldn't be, could it?

"Tim Grigsby and Mark Williams are his friends. They said they’ve known him for more than 10 years.   “He’s one in a million, I think,” Williams said. “If you were gonna model someone off of, whether it be your own children or yourself, I mean he’s that type of person.”

Stunning, isn't it?  -- Certainly, not in goose step with the Trump nazi, his henchmen, as well as ICE jackbooted goons.

"Hernandez has lived in southern Illinois for nearly 20 years. On February 9, immigration officers arrested him at his home. They were looking for someone else, but found he was here illegally.   “Did you ask him why?” Werner asked."

Gets far, far more interesting:

“For my previous record,” Hernandez said.  In a statement, ICE pointed to Hernandez’ two convictions for DUI in 2007. He’s now sober.  But under the previous administration, experts said those misdemeanor offenses likely would not have gotten him picked up."

Quite a turn of events, isn't it?  Doesn't end there, however.  Get this:

"People in West Frankfort, many of whom came to greet him Wednesday night at the restaurant he managed, wrote letters of support to the mayor, police officials, and people he’s helped with fundraisers and donations.   “This is the person that I would put right there on that pedestal,” Grigsby said. “Everyone should be looking at him and going you know what? I need to be more like Carlos.”

How about that?  Certainly, not in goose step with the Trump nazi and his henchmen, are they?

"For now, he’s out on bond while his application to stay works its way through the immigration system. His lawyer told us he is hopeful that Hernandez will have a good chance because his wife is a U.S. citizen, as are his children."

This shit by GOP nazis doesn't end?  The country will be torn asunder.  ... Don't Republicans claim to be the party of the family?


Trouble continues in Trump's corporate paradise world.  CNN reports:

"The hammer has finally fallen at Yahoo over the two massive security breaches disclosed last year."

Think so? Really think so?  Who's gone to prison?  Who?

"Yahoo's (YAHOO, Tech30) board decided not to award CEO Marissa Mayer a cash bonus "that was otherwise expected to be paid to her" due to the security incidents, according to a company filing on Wednesday.  On top of that, Mayer chose to give up her annual equity grant for 2017. No dollar amount was provided, but the minimum value for the equity she forfeited would be $12 million, based on the terms of her contract."

Why hasn't she been fired?  Resigned in disgrace?  Criminally investigated?

"I am the CEO of the company and ... this incident happened during my tenure," Mayer said in a statement. "[I] have expressed my desire that my bonus be redistributed to our company's hardworking employees."

Give me a f--king break.  No accountability.  None.  Yet, Yahoo users continue to deal with the effects of this needless breach in security.


We don't value age in this country.  ... Or, wisdom that comes from experience.  CBS News reports:

"A half-century has passed since the federal government enacted a law designed to protect workers from employment discrimination based on age. Yet one of the largest-ever studies on age discrimination in hiring has found that the problem persists, and it’s worse for women than for men."

Surprise, surprise. So what else is new?

"Older job seekers often suspect they’re victims of age discrimination in hiring, but trying to prove it is another matter. Enter the San Francisco Federal Reserve, which in 2015 did a nationwide field test to determine whether, all things being equal, employers routinely favor younger applicants over older candidates. Its findings are outlined in the study released earlier this week.  As part of the experiment, researchers created resumes for phony job seekers with identical skills in three age groups: 29 to 31 for “young” applicants, 49 to 51 for “middle-aged” applicants and 64 to 66 for “older” applicants. They submitted appropriate resumes from each age group to ads for jobs in fields that have large numbers of low-skilled workers of all ages."

The reason for only low-skilled workers in the study?

"The study didn’t explore age discrimination in hiring for higher-skilled positions because researchers figured that “realistic responses to fictitious applications” were less likely in fields where employers may be more familiar with applicants."

Say what?  The parameters for what is and is not 'high-skill' labor were not clarified.  -- Definition, not precisely stated in the article.  Highly likely, however, researchers would have found similar results no matter the skill level.

"In all, researchers applied on behalf of more than 40,000 “job seekers” to more than 13,000 positions in 12 cities across 11 states...The study’s findings probably won’t come as a shock to many older job seekers. For all five sets of applications, young and middle-aged “job seekers” had higher callback rates than did older ones, “consistent with age discrimination in hiring,” according to the study."

Nothing surprising.  After all, this remains a culture determinedly youth oriented.  Has been the case for decades.  The corporate management suite routinely jettisons older workers to hire younger ones, -- since compensation packages are far less costly.  Greed rules.  -- Forget?

"What’s more, older female “applicants” fared worse than their male counterparts. For instance, the callback rate for the oldest female “applicants” to administrative assistant jobs was 47 percent lower than the rate for women in the youngest age group. For retail sales jobs, the difference in callback rates for youngest vs. oldest female “applicants” was 36 percent -- compared to a 30 percent difference, by the same measure, for male “applicants” to sales jobs."

Likely two reasons for the above.  First, the chauvinist bastards doing the hiring want someone young and pretty.  Second, older women won't put up with chauvinist bullshit.

“Age discrimination in hiring may be critical to whether older people can work substantially longer,” the study said, “because many seniors transition to part-time or shorter-term partial retirement or ‘bridge’ jobs at the end of their careers.”

Would assume this flexibility would be of great value to employers.  Sadly, not so.  Likely, this problem will increase during the Trump regime, since the Trump nazi generally supports the corporate management suite no matter what it does or doesn't do.  -- With extremely rare exception.


The U.S. Supreme Court has once again gutlessly dropped the ball.  CBS News reports:

"The Supreme Court is returning a transgender teen’s case to a lower court without reaching a decision.  The justices said Monday they have opted not to decide whether federal anti-discrimination law gives high school senior Gavin Grimm the right to use the boys’ bathroom in his Virginia school."

Abject cowardice.

"The case had been scheduled for argument in late March. Instead, a lower court in Virginia will be tasked with evaluating the federal law known as title IX and the extent to which it applies to transgender students."

These fascist bastards have once again abrogated their responsibility to settle this matter.  Apparently, there likely was a 4-4 split.

"The high court action follows the Trump administration’s recent decision to withdraw a directive issued during Barack Obama’s presidency that advised schools to allow students to use the bathroom of their chosen gender, not biological birth."

Again, this is no more than a step backwards.

"The administration action triggered legal wrangling that ended with Monday’s order. In essence, the federal appeals court in Richmond, Virginia, had relied on the Obama administration’s interpretation of Title IX to side with Grimm. The appeals court accepted the administration’s reading of the law without deciding for itself what the law and a related regulation on same-sex bathrooms and locker rooms mean.  No appeals court has yet undertaken that more independent analysis, and the Supreme Court typically is reluctant to do so without at least one appellate opinion to review, and usually more than one."

This is precisely the problem with the judiciary.  Why justice delayed remains justice denied.  By design.

"Both sides in Grimm’s case had asked for the high court to go ahead with the case, even after the administration withdrew the Obama-era directive, although the school board said the case should be delayed."

Abdication of judicial responsibility to provide relief.

"The justices did not comment on the case beyond their one-sentence order returning it to the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals."

Further proof positive the Supreme Court is accountable to no one.  Entire court system?  No more than a regal judiciary in a supposedly democratic republic.


Resistance to the transgender bill in Texas continues.  ABC News reports:

"A North Carolina-style "bathroom bill" is nearing a first vote in Texas despite opposition from big-name companies including Facebook and the NFL warning that the Super Bowl won't return to Dallas or Houston.  The proposal would require transgender people to use public bathrooms that correspond with the sex on their birth certificates.  Hundreds of people packed the Texas Capitol Tuesday to testify on the contentious measure that's expected to easily clear a Senate committee. But the bill faces a tough road ahead because the Republican House speaker has slammed the measure as bad for business."

You think?

In follow up to the above, CBS News reports:

"A North Carolina-style “bathroom bill” has cleared a first vote in Texas after 13 consecutive hours of public comment dominated by transgender-rights supporters who oppose the measure."

Can't confuse a Republican nazi with the truth, right, TL?

"The 7-1 vote came nearly 21 hours after the start of the hearing that packed the Texas Capitol. Parents of transgender schoolchildren were among more than 400 people who signed up to give often emotional testimony.  Republicans pushing the bill say they’re trying to protect women’s privacy in bathrooms."

They're congenital liars.  What they're desperately trying to do is impose their outrageously perverse ideological and religious views on all by statute.  In direct violation of the First Amendment Establishment Clause, church-state separation, that is, freedom from religion.

"The proposal now goes to the full Senate but faces resistance in the House."

The bastards in the House seem to understand this bill, if enacted, will cost the State of Texas dearly financially.


Think the U.S. Supreme Court won't be ultimately forced to decide the following?  After enormous damage done to the LGBT community?  ABC News reports:

"Advocates of long-discredited gay conversion therapy programs say they are heartened by the election of Donald Trump, and are counting on Vice President Mike Pence and congressional Republicans to help fight-off efforts to make such programs illegal."

This is sick religion at its worst, -- and most damaging.

“I certainly hope that this administration will pull back from some of the aggressive activism that the Obama administration engaged in,” said Peter Sprigg of the Family Research Council, a powerful conservative lobbying group in Washington, which actively supports sexual reorientation efforts."

You achingly clueless fascist son of a bitch.  What you insanely promulgate is no more than voodoo non-science.  Does enormous damage to its victims:

"The Surgeon General appointed by President Obama, Vivek Murthy, publicly stated that that “conversion therapy is not sound medical practice” and such programs “are harmful, and are not appropriate therapeutic practices.”

Indeed.  That's right.  Have been disavowed by both the psychiatric and psychological communities.

"Conversion therapy has been outlawed for licensed mental health providers in California, Oregon, New Jersey, Vermont, Illinois and the District of Colombia, according to the Human Rights Campaign, a LGBT advocacy group."

Needs to be outlawed in all 50 states.

"The Family Research Council and Sprigg have helped to fight legislative proposals in 20 other states that would similarly make gay conversion illegal."

Achingly sick, clueless religion desperately wishing to legalize what is no more than damaging voodoo non-science.

“They certainly should not be outlawed. They certainly should not be prohibited by law,” Sprigg said in an interview to be broadcast on the ABC News program 20/20 this Friday which investigates gay conversion therapy programs."

You're psychotic, Mr. Sprigg.  Your 'thinking' remains an exigent threat to all civil and constitutional rights and liberties.  To say nothing of the damage you, and others who believe like you, inflict on the LGBT community.  In the name of phony religion.

“As a Christian, I believe that the Bible teaches that to choose to engage in homosexual conduct is a sin,” he said, adding that he believes therapy can cause people to make different choices."

That's ignorant bullshit.  Sexual preference is innate, not chosen.  While you are certainly entitled to believe as you wish, you are not entitled to force those beliefs on others by statute.  Called the First Amendment Establishment Clause, church-state separation, that is freedom from religion.  Too achingly ignorant to understand this?  Or, is it a problem of profound aggressive stupidity?


Republican fascists in the House have finally come up with a plan to 'repeal and replace' Obamacare.  No one is happy.  Republicans remain far from united.  Democrats, ferociously opposed.  NPR reports:

"The Republican plan to reshape the Affordable Care Act — what they call "repeal and replace" — kills the requirement that everyone buy health insurance by eliminating the tax penalty for those who don't have coverage. It also makes significant changes in the financial assistance people can receive to buy a health plan."

Guts financial assistance.  Does nothing to rein in provider greed.  Will certainly benefit the top 1% off the backs of the middle class and those on the bottom of the food chain.  All, cleverly designed to provide tax breaks to the top of the food chain, -- at a time of record corporate profits and cash reserves.  No question, the American Way.

"The bill would offer tax credits, refundable in advance, to people with incomes below $75,000. But those credits will be lower in many cases than the subsidies now offered in the ACA."

How else can the top 1% so easily line their bottomless pockets?  Off the backs of the middle class and the bottom.

"Rep. Frank Pallone, D-N.J., and Richard Neal, D-Mass., the ranking Democrats on the Energy and Commerce and Ways and Means committee issued a joint statement saying the bill would "rip healthcare away from millions of Americans, ration care for working families and put insurance companies back in charge."

Indeed, that's true.  Forget?  It's a determinedly zero-sum, winner-take-all game Republican nazis play.  Have become so proficient at.  ... Right, TL?

"But it's far from clear that Republicans in the House are unified in their support of the bill. Members of the far-right Freedom Caucus have said they oppose giving tax credits to people who don't pay any federal income tax."

This, despite the fact these goddamned GOP nazis and their corporate benefactors 'make' their money off the backs of the bottom and middle class.  That is, they steal it.  Unlivable wages.  Shoddy overpriced products that aren't worth a shit.  Energy, food, and healthcare costs cleverly designed to gouge.  The list can go on and on.  ... Right, TL?

"And with only a slim majority in the Senate, only a few Republican defections could defeat the bill there."

Makes your heart bleed, doesn't it?  Insult to injury?  Get this:

"Four Republican senators wrote a letter to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell saying they were concerned an early draft of the House plan would not adequately protect people who have insurance through Obamacare's Medicaid expansion. And Sen. Rand Paul was among three conservative Republicans who criticized an earlier version of the bill as "Obamacare lite."

Imagine that.  Couldn't be, could it?

"Under the proposed bill, tax credits would start at $2,000 a year for individuals under age 30, rising to $4,000 for those over 60. The proposal, first seen in a Feb. 10 draft of the bill, has been criticized as too meager to cover the full cost of a health insurance plan that provides full benefits."

Full benefits?  Don't exist other than for members of Congress, the corporate management suite, and others in the top 1% of the food chain.  The GOP plan would go nowhere near sufficiently subsidizing truly worthless plans for the masses that include enormous deductibles.  Forget?  The insurance middle men exponentially drive up the cost of care, -- to line their bottomless pockets.  How else can these bastards so easily enrich themselves?

"But the proposed tax credits could potentially pay for insurance that protects only against a catastrophic health event."

Generous of the GOP nazis, isn't it?  They get theirs, you get f--ked.  The American Way.

The GOP plan also defunds Planned Parenthood.  The Washington Times reports:

"Planned Parenthood has firmly rejected a proposal by President Trump offering to preserve federal funding for the women’s health organization if it stopped providing abortion services."

The Trump nazi and his henchmen simply can't accept the fact abortion is a constitutional right as affirmed by the Supreme Court.  The Trump nazi, his henchmen, and fascists in the Republican Party remain hell bent on eviscerating the First Amendment Establishment Clause, church-state separation, that is, freedom from religion.  In direct violation of their oaths of office to protect and defend the United States Constitution.

"Mr. Trump reportedly confirmed Monday to The New York Times that an informal proposal was made to Planned Parenthood offering to maintain federal funding — about $500 million each year — if the organization ended abortion procedures. Sources told the newspaper that White House officials even suggested there could be an increase in that funding if they accepted the deal."

Mr. Trump remains an achingly delusional, duplicitous nazi.  What else would be expected of this goddamned misogynist fascist?

"Dawn Laguens, Planned Parenthood’s executive vice president and chief brand officer, told The Times that no federal funds are used to pay for abortions.  “Offering money to Planned Parenthood to abandon our patients and our values is not a deal that we will ever accept,” she said. “Providing critical health care services for millions of American women is nonnegotiable.”

F--k the nazi Republican Party.  National socialists, fascists.  Remain an exigent threat to all civil and constitutional rights and liberties.  ... Right, TL?

Have to admire Planned Parenthood for indeed standing tall against the Trump nazi:

“Planned Parenthood is proud to provide abortion—a necessary service that’s as vital to our mission as birth control or cancer screenings,” she tweeted. “We won’t back down in the face of threats or intimidation, or turn our backs on the patients who count on us. Not today, tomorrow, not ever.”

Indeed.

"In a longer statement, Ms. Richards said, “The White House proposal that Planned Parenthood stop providing abortion is the same demand opponents of women’s health have been pushing for decades, as a part of their longstanding effort to end women’s access to safe, legal abortion. Planned Parenthood has always stood strong against these attacks on our patients and their ability to access the full range of reproductive health care. We are glad that the White House understands that taking away the preventive care Planned Parenthood provides is deeply unpopular and would be a disaster for women’s health care.”

    "Fact: Federal funds do not pay for abortion. At Planned Parenthood, we don’t agree with this harmful policy—but it’s the law & we follow it.
    — Cecile Richards (@CecileRichards) March 6, 2017"

Never, ever, never confuse the Trump nazi, his henchmen, and fascists in the Republican Party with the truth.  Remain too damned aggressively stupid, hopelessly ignorant.  -- Not that the goddamned Democrats are any better, however.  Where the hell have they been since the assassination of JFK?  Where?

Interesting quote from Fox News:

"In a response to the report of the proposal, Planned Parenthood Federation of America President Cecile Richards says the group "will always stand for women's ability to make decisions about their health and lives, without interference from politicians."

Indeed.  Quite amazingly, the Trump nazi was for abortion rights before he was against them.

The following is highly indicative of the abject cluelessness, Aryan arrogance, bottomless haughtiness of Republican nazis.  Get this.  ABC News reports:

"Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, suggested that low-income Americans may need to make a choice between buying a new cellphone and purchasing health care while speaking to CNN on Tuesday, “Americans have choices and they’ve got to make a choice,” Chaffetz said on CNN’s “New Day.” “And so maybe rather than getting that new iPhone that they just love and [they] want to go spend hundreds of dollars on that, maybe they should invest in their own health care."  He continued, "They’ve got to make those decisions themselves."

The poor and lower middle class don't buy smartphones, you clueless piece of GOP human excrement.  They can't afford to.  Even if they could, the cost of a smartphone is a tiny fraction of the cost of health insurance, you diabolical, haughty piece of shit.  When are you and your committee going to provide the Trump nazi the same investigative treatment you afforded Hillary Clinton when she was secretary of state?  You remain no more than a partisan piece of crap, Congressman.  Like the Trump nazi, out of touch with reality.

NBC News reports:

"They rarely agree on much, but health care experts on the left, right and center of the political spectrum have found consensus on the House GOP's Obamacare replacement: It won't work.  While their objections vary depending on their ideological goals, the newly introduced American Health Care Act (AHCA) is facing an unrelenting wave of criticism. Some experts warn that the bill is flawed in ways that could unravel the individual insurance market.  The bill, experts said, falls far short of the goals President Donald Trump laid out: Affordable coverage for everyone; lower deductibles and health care costs; better care; and zero cuts to Medicaid. Instead, the bill is almost certain to reduce overall coverage, result in deductibles increasing, and will phase out Obamacare's Medicaid expansion."

This, coming from Left, Center, and Right.

"It's very likely people will lose insurance coverage if the GOP plan became law, taking full effect in 2020. Possibly a lot of people.  Like any health care bill, including the current system, there are winners and losers within this shift. In general, younger and higher-income people looking for insurance on the individual market are poised to gain. Older, sicker and lower-income patients are the bigger losers."

The Republican Way, isn't it?  Reverse Robin Hood.  Steal from the bottom and middle class, give it to the rich.


Republican national socialists routinely place profit ahead of principle.  Profit trumps human tragedy.  ABC News reports:

"An author fighting ovarian cancer who may not have long to live has offered up her husband in a tear-jerking essay: "If you're looking for a dreamy, let's-go-for-it travel companion, Jason is your man."  Amy Krouse Rosenthal described her illness and her marriage in a "Modern Love" column published Friday in the New York Times. It didn't take long for her essay to go viral online.  Rosenthal, 51, wrote that she's gone weeks without real food and falls asleep mid-sentence because of the morphine she needs. Despite feeling weak, she said she had to write the essay while she still could, because she wanted him to fall in love again after she is gone."

Human tragedies, like the above, could be ameliorated, -- if our priorities went vastly beyond accumulation of wealth.  ... Ever see a hitch on the back of a hearse?

"He is a sharp dresser," Rosenthal wrote. "Our young adult sons, Justin and Miles, often borrow his clothes. Those who know him — or just happen to glance down at the gap between his dress slacks and dress shoes — know that he has a flair for fabulous socks. He is fit and enjoys keeping in shape."

Have to wonder how her husband reacted.  Had to have been devastated.

"Rosenthal, who has authored two dozen children's picture books and a recent memoir, said she has been married to Jason Rosenthal for 26 years. She lives in Chicago, according to her website .  She wrote that on Sept. 5, 2015 — when their daughter had just left for college, making them empty-nesters, they went to the emergency room, believing she had appendicitis. Instead, it was ovarian cancer."

When will we finally get our priorities straight?  This horrendous disease should have long since been conquered.  Instead, we fight war after war to line the pockets of the corporate management suite, shareholders, and their bought and paid for lackeys at all levels and branches of government.

Kicker?

"If he sounds like a prince and our relationship seems like a fairy tale, it's not too far off, except for all of the regular stuff that comes from two and a half decades of playing house together," she wrote. "And the part about me getting cancer. Blech."

Fran,

All three Liberty In Peril FTP servers are down and apparently have been
hacked.  The three websites, however, remain up and running at time of
writing.  That is, libertyinperil.twomini.com, libertyinperil.wink.ws, and
libertyinperil.t15.org are accessible and running.  Only FTP access has
been effected making it impossible to upload.

The Filezilla messaging on twomini is:

Status:        Connecting to 31.170.167.137:21...
Status:        Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection
refused by server".
Error:        Could not connect to server
Status:        Waiting to retry...
Status:       Connecting to 31.170.167.137:21...
Status:        Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection
refused by server".
Error:        Could not connect to server

**************************************************************

The exact same messaging, other than IP addresses, is the same on the wink
and t15 FTP servers.  This hacking attack apparently occurred the day
after Wells Fargo closed two accounts because I publicly accused them of
criminal activity.  Your company needs to look into this matter. Get these
FTP servers up and running again.  A criminal complaint will be filed with
the U.S. Attorney regarding all the ongoing criminal activity by Wells
Fargo, now extended to hacking and undue interference with the webhosts.
Has 2freehosting been bribed and/or pressured by Wells Fargo?  Certainly,
one of numerous questions to be forwarded to criminal prosecutors.

Welcome.   Liberty In Peril has been relaunched at a new URL:
libertyinperil.com.  This is a new commercial site hosted in an overseas
country, which unlike our own, does value free speech, Net security,
privacy, equally importantly, despises hackers.  Banks too big to fail
should not have the ability to shut down ftp servers on four Liberty In
Peril websites, making upload impossible.  -- Simply, because they don't
want the truth of their criminal activity reported to the public.

Should this site not be kept up, running, and fully operational, the
libertyinperil.com domain will be quickly moved to a different host
despite cost and hassle.  No more bullsh-t.  Criminal complaints will be
prepared and filed against Amanda Wright, Lynn Massey, and the equally
criminal bastards in the Wells Fargo corporate management suite for
egregious deceptive trade practices.

Email notification of local businesses of these practices, has and will,
continue unabated until Wells Fargo accepts responsibility, ceases these
practices, and finally makes it right.  During the last several weeks
after the ftp servers were hacked, a blizzard of these emails was sent to
local businesses to keep intense pressure on the criminal bastards at
Wells Fargo.  Copies of these emails were sent to bank officials.  They
have been posted in this publication. ... We're already up to Salvo 74, --
and counting.

In addition, all new Newsletter Editions will feature an
available abbreviated version, smart phone friendly, that can be accessed
by clicking on the icon.  Will supplement the regular format of this
publication.  This is being done because so many of you access this
publication with smart phones and other devices with small screens.

This site has finally been fully uploaded.  All links appear to be
properly working.  Typos in the rush to get material up have also been
corrected.  There will be a few additional changes to be made as time
allows.  Including, again, a smart phone-friendly abbreviated version of
each future Newsletter Edition starting with v434 that will be available
in addition to the regular edition.

Hopefully, now, I can finally get back to the business of this
publication, that is exposure of corrupt, abusive, inept, clueless
government lackeys beholden to their corporate masters, rather than
dealing with recalcitrant webhosts.  We'll see.  With the
libertyinperil.com domain, however, any necessary changes in webhosts will
be easy to make since all links won't have to be changed or deactivated.

The pressure on Wells Fargo will continue unabated.  Should they further
interfere with operation of this publication, it will simply provide
additional fodder for criminal complaints to be filed against them.

On 9-22-15, Kingsland Wells Fargo Store Manager Amanda Wright forced
closure of two accounts because for nearly three years this writer has
publicly accused her, her predecessor Lynn Massey, and the Wells Fargo
corporate management suite of engaging in criminal deceptive trade
practices, as well as pressuring, unduly interfering and/or bribing
webhosts to take these websites down.

Apparently, they have successfully managed to unduly influence and/or
bribe the federal Consumer Financial 'Protection' Bureau and Texas
Attorney General Consumer Protection Division as well.  Forget?  The bank
is considered too big to fail.  Considers itself government.

For all practical purposes, that's perversely true.  They have money and
resources to buy not only their human chattel, but their bought and paid
for government lackeys. Be interesting to see whether or not the U.S.
Attorney is untouchable, or sadly, similarly capable of being bought.

Immediately after closure of these accounts, the three operational Liberty
In Peril FTP servers were hacked.  What that means is that while all three
sites remained operational and accessible to readers, new material could
not be uploaded. This continues to date.

Worse, 'free' accounts on all three 'free' webhosts conveniently no longer
provide technical control panel support.  Clearly, they don't want to know
there are problems.  Have managed, however, to find other ways to contact
webhost management and have done precisely that.

Will take a criminal investigation to determine who hacked the sites,
however.  Most likely, Wells Fargo had a hand in it.  Certainly, have the
resources.  Highly, unlikely the Llano County Sheriff's Office was
involved.  Hard to believe they would be that stupid.  The Bank, however,
has nothing to lose.  Owns its government lackeys.  The Sheriff and his
outrageously corrupt and abusive goons, however, can expect further
exposure in this publication.  Should you have information regarding this
or any other issue, contact me.  I will protect your identity.

The effort to expose Wells Fargo egregious deceptive trade practices continues.  Several years ago to determinedly apply renewed pressure on our truly worthless, egregiously self-serving Texas Attorney General, now Governor, an excoriating email was sent to the bastard.  Copies of which were also passed on to both offending Wells Fargo officers. A copy was also sent to the Davis campaign and others at the time.

Voters did have a right to know as Attorney General, the GOP candidate for Governor apparently selectively investigated, or not, bona fide complaints filed by citizens against banks too big to fail.  Possibly, Wells Fargo could have lined his pockets in some fashion.  That has yet to be determined.

The bastard and his office, no matter what, failed to respond to the complaint originally snail mailed several years ago.  This material, figuratively targeting Wells Fargo and the governor 'wannabe' now Governor, had been posted and can be found by scrolling all the way down and clicking on the links well below.  ... Governor?  Wells Fargo bribe you to look the other way?

Will continue to do all I can to publicly expose this to all, both in this publication and elsewhere.  Have done precisely that with the following email sent to Dana Carolyn Lewis, Broker/Agent/Advocate, Senior Information Service, Marble Falls, TX.   A copy of it was also sent to Wells Fargo officer Amanda Wright.  She has, indeed, been promoted to branch manager.  Reverse Darwinism.  Survival of the unfittest.

This young woman has indeed been rewarded by the Wells Fargo corporate management suite for engaging in criminal deceptive trade practices and her undying loyalty to her corporate masters.  The process to update those already informed of this fiasco has finally been completed.  This latest material can be found by clicking on Wells Fargo Deceptive Trade Practices Salvo 144, 3-10-17.


The name of this publication was changed some ten years ago from The Llano Ledger to Liberty In Peril.  The reason?  Simple.  Cowardly failure of this community to stand up to tyranny that has only exponentially worsened the last decade.  Clearly, demonstrated as well by the cowardly failure of businesses to financially support this publication.  Either through advertising or other financial support.  Too afraid doing so would enrage the bastards who run and own this hellhole County.

-- Despite the fact these businesses were, and are, being egregiously f--ked by these very same bastards. Tough, isn't it?  Impossible to entertain any sympathy for cowardice, however.  Especially in view of the fact this writer has placed himself in great jeopardy taking on these corrupt, abusive, inept criminal bastards.  Alone.

Exactly, why you see no investigative material highly critical of these sons of bitches in other local rags.  Sadly, cowardly, all advertising income immediately dries up.  Consequently, the bastards continue their criminal chicanery with impunity.  On a rampage.  Thus, you get what you truly deserve.  Always.  Precisely, why this earlier name change to Liberty In Peril remains appropriate.  -- Despite the fact this writer has not yet left the area.  Ten years after originally intending to do so.  Thirty years in this goddamned godforsaken hellhole.

This writer, then and now, remains primarily interested in state, federal, and international issues.  Another reason for this publication name change.  Despite the fact I stupidly cluelessly remain here, local issues must be addressed.  Can't be ignored.  That's where you come in dear readers.  Have the courage to inform this writer of local abuse, corruption, ineptness you are aware of, have personally experienced.

... Information these criminal bastards do all they can to conceal, cover up.  Otherwise, how can they effectively sustain the charade and intended result?  Loot confiscation through a boot heel on the throat of the citizenry.

The only way, short of an unwanted dreaded second American revolution, to force badly-needed change is to expose all this to the light of day.  These bastards are beginning to understand they have a problem.  No question, the growing rage of those they've abused, looted, egregiously f--ked.  It's time to stand up.  Expose this corruption to glaring sunlight.  Otherwise, as fools, cowards, you will remain under their thumb.  From the loftiest business owner to those on the bottom of the food chain.  Wake up.  Grow a pair.

Still don't think that likely to happen.  After all, you're bought and paid for.  Owned.  Not only by your government masters, but their masters.  The corporate management suite.  Your employers.  Think not? Wake up.   You're human chattel.  Corporate-owned, bought and paid for.  Precisely, why you cowardly, compliantly, literally bare your asses for corporate inspection by the company doctor.  Willingly, compliantly, cowardly piss in a cup under employer supervision.  To sit in front of a keyboard or stock shelves all day.  You have no control of your lives.  You're owned.  Forget?  For a measly salary, no job security, reduced to no benefits.  At a time of record corporate profits and cash reserves.

Then, you gallingly complain about the oppression as you tolerate egregious theft of your labor.  Not only by your corporate masters, but their bought and paid for government lackeys.  Too cowardly to stand up, allow disclosure of your identity when you rightfully complain to this publication of being mercilessly f--ked. Some of you falsely arrested, criminally assaulted, bogusly fined for 'offenses' you did not commit.  To line County coffers.  Keep the peasants in line and under control.  A fascist police-state. Nazi America.

Again, yet another reason why this publication is called Liberty In Peril.  Most galling? Nothing changes if you fail to step up and challenge corrupt, abusive, inept authority.  Too afraid, cowardly compliant to let the bastards know who you are.  Did it ever occur to the cowards out there if the identity of the accuser is kept under wraps the bastards will falsely claim it's all made up by this publication?  Thus, conveniently killing all credibility.  Wake up.

Cowardice is unbecoming, unworthy of our formerly great country.  Insult to injury?  There are the hopelessly deranged who believe the chicanery reported here to be manufactured anyway.  No matter the effort.  No matter the research.  No matter the proof.  Wake up.  This writer cannot do it alone.  Snowball's chance in hell.  Then again, cowardice, delusion is always amply, justly rewarded.  Always. You continue to 'enjoy' the very best government money can buy.  Literally.

JP2 Linda Ballard Recording

Click herefor a most interesting conversation between JP2 Linda Ballard and LCRA Communications Supervisor Mitch Hibbs who at the time was investigating a complaint made by the Henderson family against the 'judge.'  The recording had been made by Hibbs and provided by Phyllis Henderson who had gotten it through an open records request.   During the course of the recording you will hear the 'judge' make a terroristic threat against the Henderson family which the investigator laughingly shrugged off as a joke.

Seems former LCRA Ranger Lance Bilski, stepson of Llano County Sheriff Bill Blackburn, had been harassing the Henderson family regarding their tire business, Henderson Tire.  Worse? There are unsubstantiated allegations, that although very much attached, Bilski may have indeed engaged in improprieties, that is, egregiously unprofessional conduct relevant to the Henderson complaint.  All this had been covered in Newsletter Text V346.

Publication of this material, however, should in no way be interpreted as endorsement of Ballard's opponent, Steve Lange, in the upcoming runoff.  It is not.  It is provided as a public service to expose the 'judge' for exactly whom and what she is.
