Why Commanders Don’t Sign NDAs Existing rules and laws applying to military secrecy are sufficient—and asking officers to sign NDAs is deeply inappropriate.

Honestly, I didn't know the details but I assumed something like this would already exist when I heard the "make them sign NDAs story". Like why would they need that when everyone who knows anything is already covered by the UCMJ and orders? Amateur hour.

From MeidasTouch Legal AF: The Convicted FElon DOJ is now deleting court documents on J6 terrorists who have been in trouble with law repeatedly. The DOJ was caught when a judge noticed a document missing on a J6'er, who wanted to bomb Obama's home & was convicted for it. I bet these are ICE now.

He shut the government down for a month to hide files establishing the extent of his fraternization with the most infamous serial child rapist of the last century, and now he is threatening to invade Nigeria to protect members of a religion he pretends to practice but has never actually belonged to

You mean we gotta spend an extra hour in the middle of all this

Man, you think the market manipulation has gotten bad, then you see something like this. That's not even pretending. Then again, gambling on random words in a speech is probably money those gamblers shouldn't have had anyways.

Good morning. Today I learned about the "trans women" vs "transwomen" distinction in usage. Sorry about that! Here's the fixed version, which I also changed on the main site.

This is a longstanding, thoroughly disproven lie.

Vance is carving out a little niche for himself as the guy who tells vicious, racist lies about non-white people to massage the egos of white nationalists. And the *specific* lies he tells reveal he’s well versed in white nationalist propaganda.

Halloween began as Samhain in Ireland, when the veil between this world and the "otherworld" thinned. In Co. Roscommon, this cave 👇 called Uaimh na gCat was said to open on Samhain allowing the spirits to walk freely among the living. 👻

Rep. Adam Smith: "This country has not agreed to have the death penalty for drug smuggling. If we want to have that policy conversation, we can have that policy conversation, but the president has unilaterally decided that lethal force is going to be applied. It's an enormous expansion of power."

Deplatforming Nick Fuentes Won't Stop Antisemitism Tucker Carlson's interview of the right-wing podcaster has begun a debate on how best to combat antisemitic, racist, and white nationalist views.

Mind-blowing stuff from Robby Soave.

"Podcasters should not avoid Fuentes." Of course they should. Deplatforming Nazis is good. Not amplifying them is not censorship.

Also laughable to claim Fuentes has been deplatformed. His growing reach is directly tied to MAGA destigmatizing naked racism.

Imagine if other Epstein associates were stripped of their titles and evicted from their homes for their activities. Or if the media even cared enough about them to investigate.

Waiting for someone to explain why the announcement of a trade relationship that is worse than the one we had a year ago is received as a big success

I mean, I think we should have hung some of the perpetrators of January 6th. Its what Andrew Jackson, Trump's favorite president would have done.

Agreed, its absolutely mind-boggling how such settled science and what the closest thing to a free lunch science has ever given to general health is now being debated like its 1796.

One of the first things the founding fathers did for this country was set up vaccination programs for smallpox.

Tucker Carlson is hosting discussions of the perils of organized Jewry in America the right way.

Gotta log off for a while after this one. Just too much.

Kristi Noem: "No American citizens have been arrested or detained. We focus on those who are here illegally. And anything you would hear or report that would be different than that is simply not true and false reporting."

You really have to hand it to the people who came up with the concept of “cancel culture” — it’s a tremendously flexible tool usable by everybody. Why, here it is being used to explain why an organization nominally about values can’t reject overt antisemites.

All the pundits and news outlets that bought into these schmucks’ transparent nonsense about antisemitism at the Ivies should reflect for a few minutes on how badly and easily they were played.

I know personally how it feels to have DHS do this.

Pritzker: "I sent a letter to Kristi Noem and to DHS leadership asking them to pause all of their federal agent operations for the entirety of the Halloween weekend. I'm asking for basic human decency. I think their response will be revealing. Give the children and families of Illinois a break."

Bahahaha

Two federal prosecutors were placed on leave after seeking a stiff sentence for a Jan. 6 defendant who had been granted clemency and later appeared armed outside the home of former President Barack Obama.

Minnesota cop who fabricated a sex-trafficking ring won't be held accountable The officer made up information and lied multiple times under oath but the government says she has federal immunity.

This case underscores how SCOTUS made it impossible to hold immigration cops accountable for the abuses you see in all those videos.

A federal task force cop manufactured evidence to put an innocent woman behind bars for two years. Because of SCOTUS-conferred immunity, the case never got to a jury.
