[American Thinker] Will Tanner, one of the main minds behind the outlet The American Tribune, issued an ominous warning on X, directed toward American citizens: The rural violence experienced by the minority white civilian population (<7%)in South Africa at the hands of guerrilla thugs has already made landfall in the United States, and it’s fixing to get much, much worse.
And, where else would you expect ground zero in this saga of anarcho-tyranny—a stage of government dysfunction in which the state can “ruthlessly” legislate and penalize trivial matters but is hopelessly incapable of fulfilling its actual duty and guaranteeing inalienable rights— but the former (southern) border, de facto dissolved by the Biden-Harris regime and their coterie of progressive Democrats keen to foster dystopian terrors; cartel members are now using “signal jammers” to sabotage communications and prevent any type of response from law enforcement as they carry out their criminal activities:

[RedStar] Behind enemy lines, brave reconnaissance soldiers carried out combat missions even at the cost of their lives.
by Yuri Dmitriev
A solemn wreath-laying ceremony at the memorial monument "To the Intelligence Soldiers" was held in Victory Park in Kaliningrad, which was dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the formation of the legendary intelligence group. The event was attended by representatives of the regional government, the Kaliningrad administration, the leadership of the military memorial march "Along the Roads of the Intelligence Group "Jack", veteran intelligence officers, cadets of the Baltic Higher Naval School named after Admiral F.F. Ushakov, and young army members.
The head of the military-patriotic project "March of the Kremlin Cadets", retired Major General Alexander Zubkov, spoke about the heroic feat of Soviet intelligence officers of the "Jack" group of the 3rd Belorussian Front, which is included in the world catalog of intelligence services as one of the best.
During the war, East Prussia was the location of the Nazi headquarters, the Wolfsschanze (Wolf's Lair), and the German province was under their complete control. In fact, no plane could get there unnoticed. On the ground, the paratrooper reconnaissance troops were met by special teams with dogs, police, field gendarmerie, Volkssturm, and the Hitler Youth. Any airborne contact was immediately triangulated.
The commander of one of the Soviet reconnaissance groups was Captain Pavel Krylatykh, call sign "Jack." The parachute landing in the enemy rear was carried out on the night of July 27, 1944, in the area of Lyaukenen (today it is the village of Gromovo in the Slavsky District of the Kaliningrad Region). The combat mission of the group was to collect and transmit information about the deployment and movements of German troops. Note that the bombing attack on Adolph Hitler took place only 11 days before. This was a daring raid by Soviet recon troops.
The scouts landed without losses, but on the night of July 29-30, while crossing a bridge on the Parva River, the group commander, the same "Jack", was killed. The fascists, shooting from an ambush, hit the 26-year-old officer right in the heart. After his death, Nikolai Shpakov, call sign "Hedgehog", took command.
The Prussian landscape was extremely unsuitable for covert reconnaissance: the local forests were more like well-kept parks, divided into sections by clearings, and open areas were crossed by many rivers, streams, and canals. The bridges were guarded around the clock. Almost all settlements, even very remote farmsteads, were provided with telephone communications.
The most remote area was immediately cordoned off by the fascists. In such conditions, the scouts of the "Jack" group had to act: at the limit of their strength, losing their comrades in arms. During another clash while escaping pursuit, Iosif Zvarika died while covering his comrades.
On the night of September 28, the scouts were ambushed again. Then the group commander Nikolai Shpakov died, and the translator Napoleon Ridevsky seriously injured his knee.
The new commander of the group, Ivan Melnikov, call sign "Mole", decided to split into two groups. Four people entered one, which continued the reconnaissance search, and the other included the wounded Ridevsky and 16-year-old scout Gennady Yushkevich, left by the commander to help him.
On the night of November 11-12, the group was joined by a new commander, Lieutenant Anatoly Morzhin, call sign "Gladiator", who was parachuted from an airplane. But losses continued. On November 19, Ivan Ovcharov died in a skirmish with a patrol.
In November, the "Jack" group crossed into Poland and broke through to the Polish patriots. Under their cover, four scouts settled in a forest dugout near the city of Myszynets and continued to transmit information about the transfer of German troops.
On December 27, the dugout was attacked by punitive forces. In the fierce battle, Ivan Melnikov was killed, Anatoly Morzhin was captured, and 21-year-old radio operator Zinaida Bardysheva - "Jay" was wounded in the chest and, in order not to fall alive into the hands of the fascists, shot herself. Only another radio operator, Sergeant Anna Morozova, call sign "Swan", managed to escape.
During another raid, Anna was seriously wounded. The scout was scented by dogs sent by the Germans on her trail. Anna Morozova fired back from a captured Walther, killing several punitive forces on the spot, and wounded the German shepherds unleashed on her with a grenade explosion. When the clip ran out of bullets, Sergeant Morozova managed to destroy the secret radio codes she had with her, after which she pulled the pin of the last grenade and, waiting for the fascists to come closer, blew herself and the enemy up.
Thus ended the heroic story of the reconnaissance group "Jack".
During the crossing to Poland, the scout Ivan Tselikov fell behind the group. He got lost and after a month of ordeal he reached the advanced units of the Red Army. Napoleon Ridevsky and Gennady Yushkevich, who, by the way, still lives in his native Minsk, also survived.
Having completed the historical excursion, retired Major General Alexander Zubkov noted that, together with the Kaliningrad regional branch of the Russian Union of Afghanistan Veterans, an action "Along the Roads of the Reconnaissance Group "Jack" is being held in memory of the scouts.
- In preparation for the East Prussian operation, 237 deep reconnaissance formations were created, but "Jack" had the most difficult conditions, and by many criteria - duration, territory coverage, complexity of tasks - it was the most successful group that operated on enemy territory, - noted Alexander Zubkov.
– In 2022, after an appeal to the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, we were given 19 archival documents about the Jack group, on the basis of which we prepared reliable information about its activities. Based on this data, we laid out scout trails that can be used today by military personnel, cadets, young people, and anyone interested in history. You can go on a hike along routes of three difficulty categories – 28, 80, and 105 kilometers.

"A US Secret Service counter sniper sent a scorching to the entire Uniformed Division on Monday night, claiming that the counter snipers working in Butler, PA on July 13 "did their job with their hands tied" and that supervisors routinely dismissed concerns counter snipers brought up.
The counter sniper warned that there would be another assassination attempt before November, possibly within 30 days. "
Over the past few weeks, the media focus on the spectacle that is the US presidential election campaign has been relentless. The incumbent Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem machine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family... ’s disastrous debate with his opponent from the Republican Party, Donald Trump ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... ; then the latter’s miraculous survival following an liquidation attempt; the choice of Trump’s running mate; and, finally, the change in the candidate of the ruling Democrats

[ZEROHEDGE] One of the dangers that democracies face is that of the machinery of government morphing into a political party with its own culture, traditions, methods and, needless to say, interests -- above all that of self-perpetuation. Thus, the US has a third, invisible party, besides the Republicans and Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... .
The Federal Government employs almost three million people. Of those, between 5,000 and 7,000 change when the White House changes occupants.
Tenured, at times life-long, jobs help perpetuate a Mandarinate that sees its task as keeping the ship of state on a course it has set.
That Mandarinate is especially well-entrenched in the State Department, the Pentagon, the Treasury and, more importantly, the judiciary.
It also has well-established, at times incestuous, relations with lobbyists, single-issue activist groups, universities with their tenured academics, and think tanks with rotating doors to government departments and the media.
The Mandarinate maintains close ties with those unmovable, effectively tenured members of the Senate and House of Representatives.
Conspiracy theorists refer to this Mandarinate as "the deep state".
However,
a lie repeated often enough remains a lie... what we are dealing with isn't the product of a conspiracy by a cabal in a black chamber. It is the organic product of a system in which democracy is reduced to elections, and elections reduced to a beauty contest, just as a set of rituals is often marketed as a religion.
Winning an election is an art; governing is quite a different one.
Another key issue is the redistribution of power at the federal and state levels. In several states, especially in the South, confederal anxieties abide. This is often unjustly seen as "redneck" prejudice or even rank racism. But the fact is that the closer the decision-making process is to those affected, the stronger a democracy is.
Trump has tried to express that view in his bull-in-the-china-shop style, while advocating the opposite by calling for an increase in presidential power.
Elitist Democrats on the other hand preach the old federalist gospel of states close to water -- especially the two oceans and the Great Lakes.
This is why Democrats portray the recent decision by the Supreme Court on allowing some states to set their own rules on child sacrifice abortion as an attack on democracy rather than a move towards decentralization that could be extended to other issues.
Rebalancing power between Washington and the states has been an issue since the end of the Civil War.
The states of the defeated Confederacy suffered 12 years of military occupation by the Union army, not to mention plundering by "carpetbaggers," at the end of which they signed a treaty that, while ruling out fissiparous dreams, promised a rebalancing process that never happened.
While the two candidates fire abuse at one another, the voter isn't told what they actually mean to do about cracks in the structures of world order, the war in Ukraine, China as a threat or a rival, the exponential rise of anti-Semitic activities and the deepening of incivility in public life.
On November 5 the Mandarinate or the third party won't be on any ticket.

A bit deceptive. Yes there are about 3M.
Of those about 600k are postal employees.
About the same number are DOD civilians.
About 400k work for the Veterans Admin.
The total number of civilian employees has been nearly constant since about 1990.
Certainly it is true that some individuals create an empire or sorts for themselves and some lie, cheat and steal. Also true that there is considerable waste.
But the deep state is not a monolith and parts of it are constantly in tension with other parts of it and a President and Cabinet willing to do hard work and smart enough to then get it done can get a lot done with the people they have on hand.

Repeal Civil Service protection for those above GS-13.
The View from Russia
[RT] After the apparent loss of the first presidential election debate, the obvious question was "How long until Biden drops out?"
The final days of Biden’s presidential campaign after the debate were reminiscent of the sinking of the Titanic: the inexorability of the crash was matched only by its swiftness. Everyone whose support seemed unshakable back in the fall, like Democratic leaders in the House of Representatives and Senate, prominent left-leaning journalists and major donors to the Democratic Party, turned away from Biden. Finally, in a very rare but not unexpected decision, Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Too old and senile to be prosecuted, not too old and senile to set national policy...

Uh, because they know they're going to lose and lose big and they can't get anybody to jump on the sword?
Based on her political past, she has less than no political future so if somebody is going down with the ship it might as well be her?

She is considered disposable, and evidently considers herself so.
The only way she goes any higher on the ladder is when Joey croaks in October, which I fully expect.

[IsraelNationalNews] In some respects, Hamburg of 1943 and Gaza of 2023 have remarkable similarities.The free world, and Jews in particular, are fortunate that in 1943, during Operation Gomorrah, there was no Facebook, Instagram, X, or Tik-Tok , that the NYT, Haaretz, and The Guardian still had some sense of morality, and that the UN didn’t exist.
It is undeniable that the photographs and footage coming out of Gaza are deeply shocking and disturbing. And it is easy to understand how these graphic images influence public opinion. To be sure, every dead Gazan, every Gazan child crying over a destroyed home, every young Gazan mother holding her dead baby is a gruesomely effective propaganda tool for the Hamas against Israel. All the explanations and all the historical context in the world can never combat the heart-wrenching sights of the consequences of the war in Gaza.
Hamas claims a current death-toll of some 40,000 dead, about a quarter children, and up to 100,000 injured, including about 10,000 permanently disabled. Though these figures are taken directly from Hamas and are inherently suspect, the UN and most of the world’s media cite them as though they are definitive. In fact, well over 20,000 of the dead are identified Hamas terrorists. Some of them are indeed children; but a 14-year-old boy brandishing an AK-47 Kalashnikov or an RPG is just as much a combatant, and just as dangerous, as a 26-year-old man brandishing the same weapon. This means that even according to Hamas's propaganda figures, more than half the deaths in Gaza are combatants. This is a better ratio than just about any other urban conflict in the world.
