Um, inasmuch as both of the two main political news channels show on cable in California already, its people who decide what to view, not a lack of variety in news channels. Where I live we have 4 FOX channels and just two CNN related ones, but then we also get Reuters, NKH ( Japanese television from Japan), C-SPAN, ABC and NBC both of whom seem to equally post news that backs up CNN, and a Midwest religious tv show that seems very little a out religion and very much a out running down the Democrats. My father was a personal friend of Richard Nixon and had lunch at the Western White House regularly and my mom knew " Ronnie Reagan " when she was in business in the 60's , so I used to vote Republican, but when Trump showed up I became Independent, so I tend to watch all of the programs to see what sounds best for the Country, and that hasn't been the FOX News. I have to agree with myata, the GOP needs to reexamine itself and weed out the crooked conspirators, else the GOP will split into two parties or disappear as a united party. Afterall, the GOP itself is a spin off of the 1854 anti-slavery WHIGS Party, it then changed its name to the Grand Old Party ( GOP) , so it has been done before and could be done again. The MAGA's could have their own party and have endless votes every day on who gets the keys to the executive washroom first.

The GOP already reached that state of mind when it condoned the January 6th Insurrection.

So...just a month ago Kenneth John Cheeseborro, the Trump attorney who was the architect of the FAKE Electors scam in the State of Georgia, pleaded GUILTY today just after the last of 450 potential jurors were questioned by the attorneys of both sides for fairness and lack of prejudice in a court legal process called Voir Dire. Mr. Cheeseborro also pleaded guilty to the other 7 counts he was charged with including violations of Georgia's RICO act ( Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization), two counts of conspiracy to submit false documents, two counts of fraudulent statements, and forgery of official election documents. As all of these were felonies, absent this plea deal, Mr. Cheeseborro would have faced 7 felonies going into the trial but like Sidney Powell, another of the 17 co-defendants for this case, and another of Trumps lawyers, he chose to face the music of the very real chance of going to prison and decided to tell the Truth instead. For this plea deal he agreed, like Sidney Powell yesterday, to write and publish a Letter of Public Apology to the citizens of Georgia, pay a hefty fine, perform many hours of community service, agree to testify truthfully in all further trials in the case against all remaining co-defendants in it, and agree not to engage again in RICO act violations or fraud. Interestingly in Mr. Cheeseborro's case, just last month, he told his attorney Scott Grumman to tell the Court he *would* go to trial to stand up to these unfounded charges". Mr. Grumman had little to say today after his clients change to a Guilty on all felony counts plea deal. .....Let's see that leaves just 11 more ...including Jenna Ellis, Jeffrey Clark, Mark Meadows, John Eastman...and Donald J. Trump...among a few things others.

So, after more than two weeks and 3 Votes , the House still doesn't gave a Speaker so none of the Peoples Work can be done. Jim Jordan, Republican ( Ohio, 4th district) after losing his third bid, losing in today's vote more than he lost yesterday and Wednesday has finally been persuaded not to put himself in for a 4th attempt. The GOP has again forced the House of Representatives to shut down while they all go off and enjoy their weekend until Monday MAGA's thing when again the GOP will grace the American House of Representatives and call another vote. Meanwhile the rest was f America gets to just sit around twiddling their thumbs, watching their money evaporate.

I see, so you don't consider any other homeless human beings worth anything but you do if they happen to also be veterans. You know you are trying to make homelessness a black and white issue. The homeless are not all border legals and illegals, quite a few of the older homeless are those whose lives were destroyed by the Great Recession which was a Big Banking caused problem . It forced more than 10 million out of their homes in 2007 and another 3.1 million in 2008., many more went uncounted but lost their homes also. At least 13.1 million known Americans, on the street, homeless, not illegal aliens. We should just ignore these people?

I'd quote you on that but I never bet unless I am sure I will win, and the odds are he will lose big time. Many of his followers who went to the January 6th Insurrection at his direction are already seeing a downturn in their lives.

" Was Trump charged ?". Stay tuned, of the 17 cop defendants which also includes Donald J. Trump, 2 have , so far, cop'd a deal to plea instead of face the music in Court, and who do you suppose its going to whittle down to?

"....(Sidney Powell Letter of Apology)....not for what..."..... shouldn't be long before it gets posted and we can all see it.

No lie here, as part of her sentence she not only has to make restitution of a little matter of $10,000 but also, and more importantly, have to publish a A Public Letter of Apology to the citizens of Georgia. That Letter will put in writing what happened ( fraud, conspiracy, racketeering, collusion) what other co defendants could have claimed before as hearsay. That stops once it's in print.

Sidney Powell, former President Donald Trumps former attorney pleaded Guilty today, --one day ahead of her Trial for attempting to overthrow the Georgia voters intent by interfering in an election and conspiring with other Trump followers in Fulton County to alter votes in an attempt to claim the votes were then fraudulent as Trump was claiming, despite no evidence after multiple Georgia Election Board counts. Sentencing includes financial restitution, a Public Letter of Apology to the residents of Georgia, and agreed to testify truthfully against all the other co defendants in the Racketeering case , which 17 other co defendants also includes Donald Trump.

LOST. You Trump lovers seem to have a really difficult time with this simple word. Like in Trump LOST the 2020 election. Like Trump LOST his case in Court where he claimed he set up a charity where all the proceeds were to go to disabled U. S. Veterans, in fact ( see New York case law, 2019) , he was forced to make restitution of $2 million dollars after he ADMITTED he had not paid them a dime. In fact he and his children used his own Charity as a personal and family slush fund to pay of other lawsuits he was involved in., get a $10,000 personal portrait of himself he hung in one of his golf resorts, bought himself and his family clothes and jewelry, bought himself a Bronco's signed helmet of Tim Tebow at $12,000, and donated a significant amount to the Puppy Jake Foundation run by Becky Beach who claimed she was training Certified Service Dogs for disabled veterans, in fact she was a felony convicted scam charity operator, and had no experience or certificate to claim she had such training and accreditation and not one dog from her " charity" ...just like Trumps, ever made it to a veteran, disabled or otherwise. Mr. Trump is a LOSER, a LIAR, and proven FRAUD.

If they stayed peaceful that would be one thing, but unfortunately they seem to escalate to violence, so pre-emptive planning to stop such escalation by toning down said protests would seem a good idea.

You ASSUME who I give these to are illegals; in fact I give them to homeless United States Veterans, many if them disabled. I do this through a dedicated 501(c)3 charity. The only one "weak and stupid" here" is you.

Prove it. Hearsay is not admissable as evidence.

You just keep thinking that if it makes you feel secure, it's not true though inasmuch as he's already had a Summary Judgement made against him for fraud in the New York trial and if you read any case law at all, you'll see that judges like to rule as others have before them in similar types of crimes. A subscription to the American Bar Journal would be very enlightening reading for you.

In fact it does bother me about those homeless, so much so that every month I donate hygiene supplies, food by the multiple case, clothes, tents, tarps, sleeping bags, and whatever else I can afford to help them. If any of you detractors has done the same, speak up, otherwise you really are a bunch of heartless people.

It is extremely unlikely Trump will beat most of the charges because he foolishly intertwined them on his various properties, i.e. using the same modus operandi to inflate his self worth fraudulently in order to gain intrinsic value he could cash in on, then took the money from that and plowed it into new properties that he also overvalued to keep up the lie that he was worth billions...when in fact most of the money was fraudulently.obtained so not his worth at all. In the civil trial the Prosecution is only asking for $250 million but that is AFTER the Court appointed Receiver dissolves enough properties to pay back what Trump fraudulently.obtained by real estate fraud, banking loan fraud, tax fraud, and that doesn't include either any money Trump obtained by RICO violations. Subtract all that money from Trump, that leaves him very few properties and because no bank will want the bad publicity this generates with their investors, they won't loan him any more money. In fact most banks didn't trust him before all this and that proves how unsavory a financial reputation he already had before the 2016 election. Now....next the IRS will be reevaluating the taxes he pays and his reductions claimed and will come after him for their share , then any banks who have investors and paid out a dime to Trump in the decade before 2020 will come in next , Trump won't have enough to buy a kids golf set by then.

Um, no. Archaeologists have proven most of the statements made, the rest is based on educated guess based on pottery finds, types of structures, and reported by other civilizations about their neighbors and/ or enemies.

So...Trump WAS in a war he controlled the outcome of? We know he went to the Middle East, who else did he collaborate with over there? Did he try to build any golf resorts? He seems to do that everywhere he goes. As far as the GOP not starting wars, untrue. Mostly they are invested heavily in the very materials and finished products used in wars, and too many billionaires in this country My Opinion become so selling war material. Get rid of the profit made from wars and we'll see a lot of this war, war, war boosting in it seems like every Congress, go away or at least reduce.

So...does this mean Trumps program is still running? Sounds like it.

10th TFS

I served in the USAF. Am not a Muslim. I judge people by their words and actions, not their religion.

Do I wish Trump was President right now. No I don't because he would screw anyone to get money and a chance to leave the country so he doesn't have to face the music for his crimes. As I believe I have mentioned before, I am an Independent, not a Democrat though I tend to post for Common Sense and Truth I get from reliable sources rather than bulbous nonsense and conspiracy theories so if that leans Left in your book, so be it. It's not as though Bernie Sanders is doing much in the Independent Party of the USA. ...no I was not a General...but I was involved in tactical intelligence. And, I was indeed a member if a tactical fighter squadron, USAF, stationed in Europe in the 70's when our enemy was behind a Wall also, one they made themselves, and militarily quite active, but not as much as now. The Media in those days were much more in fear of losing their broadcasting or publication licenses than now if they printed anything military without permission. So much if what I saw, and possibly you also, will stay buried.

Well, remember the over 5000 children Trump, then POTUS , took away from their parents at the border to deter parents trying to cross over into the USA? Well, the Department of Human Service and the Department of Homeland Security together announced today that since 2018 when they began to try and find the children Trump sent to internment camps he created of bailing wire, chain link fences and bare hot concrete floors, where he locked them up against their will, often without water, food or sanitary facilities, ...remember them? Those two federal agencies, thanks to Trumps hand picked terrorist guards failures to document WHERE they were being sent, have, since 2018 only found 785 families and children lost to reunite. Two hundred ninety (290) additional children ( beyond the 5000) who were registered citizens of the USA also caught in this terrorist act against these children were also reunited....the other over 4000 children, remain lost and the Departments remain hopeful...they might find a few more......4000 helpless children...its appalling.

Rendered inoperable doesn't mean a few wires were cut, this isn't like cutting the ignition wires on a Silly WW2 jeep here, likely they removed the entire cockpit, that includes the stick and if you think you're going to be able to find spares on the black market, or even in Russia you're SOL. Much of what is down today us sophisticated that you take out some modjules, dump a gallon of AV gas on the panel and torch it, thus melting most of the controls and the connection points, fixing it...likely even with spare parts will take months and that's just one of " make it inoperable" things they would do. Russia will supply them old Mig 23's they no longer want inasmuch as they are flying the SU 17 and Mig 27's and Mig 29's.
