-Great Cultural Revolution
Crooked Hillary Clinton Calls for ‘FORMAL Deprogramming' of MAGA ‘Cult Members'
Former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said Thursday on CNN’s "Primetime" she believed there needed to be a "formal deprogramming of the cult members" who support former President Donald Trump.

Clinton said, "You saw the number of Republicans who voted along with Democrats to keep the government open, so there’s clearly a common sense, sane part of the Republican caucus in the House. But I think they are intimidated. They oftentimes, you know, say and do things which they know better than to say or do. It will require us defeating those most extreme measures and the people who promote them in order to try to get to some common ground where people can again work together."

She continued, "That’s the way it used to be. I mean, we had very strong partisans in both parties in the past and we had very bitter battles over all kinds of things, gun control, and climate change, and the economy, and taxes. But there wasn’t this little tail of extremism wagging the dog of the Republican Party as it is today. And sadly, so many of those extremists, those MAGA extremists, take their marching orders from Donald Trump, who has no credibility left by any measure. He’s only in it for himself. He’s now defending himself in civil actions and criminal actions. When do they break with him? You know, because at some point, you know, maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members. But something needs to happen."

Obviously a continuation of yesterday's article on porn (with foto added).

#14  She is voicing the gospel of the democrats and the truth as it is right now as a whole. When she says it after the current president calls us terrorists it shows they mean it. Last week the FBI listed MAGA as an extremist organization making all Maga republicans subject to anti terrorist law, the patriot act with no trial, no constitutional protection, and no access to legal defense. We are already there, look at the J6 guys. They will be let out if they denounce Trump and are willing to testify they were part of a coup and rat everyone else out. Hillary and all her hate is just stating the facts as they are happening right now....

Government Corruption
Biden-appointed WFH bureaucrat with ties to open border advocates accused of turning immigration enforcement into 'social services' amid corruption probe
Work From Home, not WTF.
Though that may be appropriate too.

  • Claire Trickler-McNulty worked for a group that wanted to end deportations but now has a powerful position at the agency responsible for enforcing them

  • She has been accused of undermining immigration enforcement from within, putting her own woke agenda above cracking down on illegal migration

  • Republicans on the Committee on Homeland Security are also questioning her links to a former immigration official now at the center of a corruption probe

#1  The entire agency is acting counter to its purpose. It’s not one bureaucrat. That said, go ahead and hit the mole with the hammer, but Caddy Shack levels of metaphorical TNT seems more appropriate.

Donald Trump gets temporary relief in civil fraud lawsuit from NY court
[GEO.TV] Former President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and whatever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
secured a temporary reprieve in his civil fraud lawsuit as a New York court granted a delay in the cancellation of his business licenses within the state.

The development comes after Trump, the leading contender for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, filed an appeal earlier this week to halt the ongoing trial in New York.

The trial, which began this week, lacks a jury but has Trump himself in attendance. It commenced following a surprising ruling by Judge Arthur Engoron in late September, in which he found repeated fraud committed by the Trump Organisation. This led to the order for the cancellation of business licenses belonging to Trump and his two adult sons, Don Jr. and Eric.

In a decision issued by an appeals court in New York on Friday, Judge Peter Moulton declined to suspend the trial but did grant a temporary stay on the "order directing the cancellation of business certificates."

This ruling represents a short-term victory for the former president, who faced the prospect of a partial dismantling of his real estate empire following Judge Engoron's September decision.

During the court proceedings on Friday, Trump's lawyers and attorneys representing New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is pursuing a $250 million judgment against Trump for alleged fraudulent business filings, presented their arguments. In the courtroom, Trump's lawyer, Christopher Kise, argued that the dissolution would result in chaos, stating, "This is everything owned or controlled by the defendant. Once you dissolve, you dissolve."

James' representative, Judy Vale, countered this argument, stating that there was no basis for an interim stay in a trial that had already been underway for a week.

Trump had a notable presence in the Manhattan court this week, spending nearly three days in both the courtroom and the hallways, engaging with the press.

In response to Trump's court appearance, James characterised it as a political stunt and fundraising stop. In turn, Trump labeled the African American attorney general, a Democrat, as "corrupt" and "racist."

As the trial is set to resume next week, James expressed confidence that "justice will prevail" in the case. While this lawsuit is civil in nature, Trump faces multiple other significant legal challenges across various jurisdictions, including criminal charges, all of which he has vehemently denied and pleaded not guilty
"Wudn't me."

House members reintroduce bill to stop Biden admin from imposing central bank digital currency
[LIFESITE] WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Emmer of Minnesota is promoting legislation to forbid the federal government from issuing a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), citing fears that such a move could be used to violate Americans’ privacy or control their economic choices.

H.R.5403, the CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act, would forbid U.S. Federal Reserve banks from "issu[ing] a central bank digital currency, or any digital asset that is substantially similar under any other name or label, directly to an individual," and the Federal Reserve’s board of governors and Federal Open Market Committee from "us[ing] any central bank digital currency, or any digital asset that is substantially similar under any other name or label, to implement monetary policy."

The bill currently has 68 co-sponsors (all Republicans) and cleared the U.S. House Financial Services Committee on September 20 in a 27-20 vote. Emmer previously introduced the bill last year, when it failed to gain traction.

"This bill is simple: It halts the efforts of this Administrative State under President Biden from issuing a financial surveillance tool that will undermine the American way of life," said Emmer, who is also House Majority Whip. "In China, the Communist Party is using a central bank digital currency to track the spending habits of its citizens. The data is being used to create a social credit system that rewards or punishes people based on their behavior."

"Closer to home in the Western Hemisphere, in Canada, the Trudeau Administration froze the bank accounts of individuals involved in the 2022 trucker protests," he continued. "That might work in Canada; that doesn’t work here."

"This appetite for financial surveillance may be gaining a stronghold, unfortunately, right here at home," Emmer warned. "The White House issued an Executive Order placing urgency on central bank digital currency research and development, and the agency reports to that executive order have made it clear that the Biden Administration is not only itching to create a CBDC, but they are willing to trade Americans’ right to financial privacy for a surveillance-style central bank digital currency."

U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters of California, the financial committee’s ranking Democrat, attacked the bill on the grounds that it "would stifle that research and prevent us from moving forward even if it means that the dollar loses its status as the world’s reserve currency and even if it means that U.S. citizens lose out on faster, cheaper and simpler payments."

Seems the concept is no longer discussed in the Gov't or media circles. If you never start it, you don't have to terminate it.

#2  We are in a place where legislation has to be drafted to stop executive action that has no authorization to begin with. Just defund all of these initiatives. Legislation is not making it through the Senate.
