    ​ Senate GOP turned off by Rick Scott pressure campaign​ [Secret Ballot vote, so…]
    ​ The pressure campaign being waged by allies of Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) to boost his chances to become the next Republican leader is having a boomerang effect, as it has increasingly antagonized GOP senators and could doom his already dim odds in the race.
    ​ Scott is running against Senate Republican Whip John Thune (R-S.D.) and Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) for the right to succeed Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) atop the conference, with the latter two widely seen as the favorites.​..
    ​..But with just more than 48 hours until the planned vote, Scott’s backers — many of whom are also ardent supporters of President-elect Trump — have gone on a public offensive to try to put him over the top.
    ​ One top aide to a Senate Republican who has yet to decide on whom to support told The Hill that the member “could not be more turned off” by the coercion tactics and described the level of efficacy in pushing them away as a “10 out of 10.”
    ​ “It’s the last thing you’d want to do if you were mounting a successful campaign to get your colleagues to vote for you,” the aide said. “He’s shown no penchant for winning friends or influencing positive outcomes.”
    ​ “How are you going to be leader of the conference if the only tactic in your tool kit is to attack members of your conference?” the aide continued.
    Those backing Scott publicly include Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk and Steve Bannon.​ https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/4984638-scott-allies-pressure-campaign/

    ​ (Retch!) Trump Expected To Tap Rubio As Secretary Of State
    ​ Shortly after raising hopes that he would keep his administration free of such people, Donald Trump has started filling his national security team with neoconservatives. First came word that he would assign New York Rep. Elise Stefanik as UN ambassador, then Florida Rep. Mike Waltz as National Security Advisor, and now the New York Times reports that Sen. Marco Rubio is expected to become Secretary of State.
    ​ Citing “three people familiar with [Trump’s] thinking,” the Times reported on Monday evening that “Mr. Trump could still change his mind at the last minute, the people said, but appeared to have settled on Mr. Rubio, whom he also considered when choosing his running mate this year.” There’s a possibility that the Rubio rumors are being advanced by those who want him in that position, or that Trump is using a leak to test public reaction.​ https://www.zerohedge.com/political/trump-expected-tap-interventionist-neocon-rubio-secretary-state

    ​ Trump picks Rep. Elise Stefanik for UN ambassador
    ​ The choice of Stefanik signals a more combative US posture toward the UN. Stefanik has frequently criticized the international organization, particularly over its criticism of Israel, and last month said the Biden administration should consider a “complete reassessment” of US funding for the UN if the Palestinian Authority continues to pursue a push to revoke Israel’s UN membership.​ https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/10/politics/elise-stefanik-trump-us-ambassador-to-un/index.html

    ​ Israeli Minister Says Trump Victory Presents Israel ‘Opportunity’ To Annex West Bank
    “The year 2025 will be, with God’s help, the year of sovereignty in Judea and Samaria,” Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said, using the biblical name for the West Bank. This region is home to some three million Palestinians who have long aspired to establishing a State of Palestine.​ https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/israeli-minister-says-trump-admin-gives-israel-opportunity-annex-west-bank

    ​ (Mossad false-flaggy thing, maybe?) Iran denies plot to assassinate Trump, calls for confidence-building with US
    ​ Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi on Saturday denied US allegations that Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards ordered the assassination of President-elect Donald Trump and called for confidence-building between Washington and Tehran. Iranian analysts and insiders have said that a Trump presidency may bring a detente between the two countries.​ https://www.france24.com/en/asia-pacific/20241109-iranian-fm-denies-plot-to-kill-trump-calls-for-confidence-building-with-us

    ​ US F-15 Fighter Jets Arrive in Middle East as Part of Buildup Aimed at Iran
    ​November 10 , “Today, US Air Force F-15E Strike Eagles from the 492nd Fighter Squadron, RAF Lakenheath, England, arrive in the US Central Command area of responsibility,” US Central Command wrote on X.
    ​ The Pentagon announced last week that it was sending additional military assets to the region for the “defense” of Israel. CENTCOM said that B-52 bombers arrived in the region on November 2.
    ​ According to flight and satellite data, six US B-52 bombers are at al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar. Haaretz reported that the US F-15 fighter jets were being sent to Jordan. The Pentagon said it would also be deploying additional US Navy destroyers and tanker aircraft to the region.
    ​ Before the latest US deployments, the Pentagon sent a THAAD missile defense system and about 100 troops to Israel. The US assets in Israel and elsewhere in the region could become potential targets of Iranian missiles since the US is vowing to defend Israel.
    ​ Recent media reports have said Iran is planning to launch a major attack on Israel from Iraqi territory. Baghdad has denied the rumors, saying they’re “false pretexts” to justify aggression against Iraq.​ https://scheerpost.com/2024/11/10/us-f-15-fighter-jets-arrive-in-middle-east-as-part-of-buildup-aimed-at-iran/

    Economic Health Watch: Who Benefited from the ‘Affordable’ Care Act?
    ​ It should be obvious that for low-cost services, it costs more to process the claim than to buy the service. So, “comprehensive” insurance makes no sense. Except to managed-care companies (“insurers”).
    ​ Since ACA was enacted, we have seen no reports on improved health outcomes or better access to needed care—quite the contrary.
    People should be asking how much care they could buy for what they pay the insurer every month for care they don’t get.​ https://aapsonline.org/economic-health-watch-who-benefited-from-the-affordable-care-act/

    Might I add to my rant that the Notavax was never a medical or scientific disagreement:

    Remember that Safe Spaces were a thing for at least a decade before the pandemic. “Safe Spaces” are based on wokeist-neomarxist ideological/religious concepts of “Harm”

    So the wokeists layer their alternate-definitions on top of our own words, demand Safe Spaces, hammer away at Harm and Safety — and use your own words to hit you with a club if you object, accuse you of violating YOUR values, not following YOUR rules by use of same words, different meanings….

    Having conflated Safety and following their weirdo degenerate ideology/religion, they then freaked out about SAFETY to do with a virus

    So now there was an invisible horrible awful virus among us with symptoms of – don’t know I have it – but Experts will know

    And a horrible invisible plague of inequity, oppression, and harm, which you cannot be aware of (false consciousness) but Experts are….

    And then, for instance, the CDC formally declares like a Papal Dispensation, yes, go ahead and congregate in your tens of thousands in every major city, touch each other, breathe hard on each other, coalece and spread back out into your city every night for 6 months at the height of The Deadliest Pandemic Ever

    Why the dispensation? Racism is an even MORE serious disease than Covid. Racism is even MORE harm than Covid

    CDC is fighting Harm – for Safety.

    It was a purely ideological-religious understanding of reality with the purpose of rooting out witches performing witchcraft

    1/6? No coherent statement – they were making witches brew!!!!

    30 counts of expired misdemeanors that actually were correct accounting entries for totally legal non disclosure agreements === 30 felonies of unknown nature — HE WAS MAKING WITCHES BREW, I DON’T KNOW!!!!

    another truncated post.
    Someone doesn’t like me talking honestly about Hersh and megaColon Powell. These guys are proud or were proud about what they did. So why lie about it. Lying doesn’t serve their reputations.

    I confronted Hersh publicly, politely and professionally at UPJ’s John Murtha center on one of Hersh’s stops during “The Make Torture Look Reasonable Tour”. Didnt you know the Nation and Constitution would have fallen around 2003 without Torturing Folk, U.S. citizens too.

    I’d like Trump to have a big fireside chat day 1 saying “Here’s all the ways you were lied to”

    Here’s the statistics for race on race crime since 1990

    Here’s the statistics for races in their encounters with the police with sub-groupings (Nigerian immigrants have the same statistical results in police encounters as Caucasian in America….)

    Here’s how our national debt looks like if we did accounting like a business that isn’t breaking the law vs how the govt reports it

    Here’s how our inflation reporting has diverged over the decades and why. Here’s where inflation is by the old mearsurement systems

    Here’s how our unemployment reporting has diverged over the decades and why. Here’s where unemployment is and has been measured under the old methods

    Here’s crime on queer, gay statistics vs average, here’s how criminals are getting punished in those instances vs average (are they equal under the law? YES)

    Here’s the statistics for male vs female pay. Here’s how it works out with men doing all that overtime which women do not, statistically, do – there are rare exceptions of course.

    Just take each and every metric for performance the Democrats owed the people while in government and show the honest analysis – then do the same to past Republicans as well

    Take METRICS for all the woke garbage and red pill america on it, item by item.

    Zerosum:

    I have too noticed the alarming number of swamp creatures being announced lately.
    Maybe part of a deal with deep state?

    Trump’s primary focus is economic.
    He views economic security as national security.

    So using military not his first choice.
    He prefers using economic power to get what he wants.
    So warmongers may end up disappointed that new wars don’t happen as they want.

    I wonder if Pete was there when brave servicemembers “took out 9yo Nawar al-Awlaki”.
    Or does Pete SecDef Select want to a pardon for that too.

    Is Pardon the flip side of Apology?
    Is Venaliy a Virtue?

    Here’s fuckwad ANG Pete: Tulsi, Pete, Tim who the hell else saw an “opportunity” in joining the ANG during GWOT?

      May 2019, it was reported that Trump was considering pardoning several US military service members who had been charged with war crimes, including a veteran set to stand trial for shooting indiscriminately at civilians, hitting a girl and an elderly man,[28] as well as fatally stabbing a captured teenage Islamic State (ISIS) member while he was receiving medical treatment. The Daily Beast and CNN later reported that Hegseth had for months sought to convince Trump to pardon these individuals. At the same time, Hegseth was discussing these cases on Fox News without disclosing that he had advised Trump to pardon them.[29][30] In November 2019, Trump pardoned three service members accused or convicted of war crimes. Shortly before Trump announced his decision, Hegseth suggested that Trump was about to take “imminent action” in the cases
