That’s just bold. And I like it. Cool




Politicians seem to have forgotten that they work for us, not the other way around.

So a white guy dressed like a Ken Doll throws a sandwich at an ICE agent because why? Clearly he is not able to keep his emotions under control, but what triggered him?

Bill Shipley, at Shipwreckedfool's Port O'Call on Substack, has a great explanation of the meaning of the Durham Annex. I've not been following this stuff closely, but Shipley's analysis is well worth reading (and I subscribe to his Substack, one of a few that I find worth subscribing to).

This is about the FBI's failure to do ANYTHING when they found out (through Dutch intercepts of Russian intelligence services) that Loretta Lynch, the Attorney General, had discussed the DOJ investigation of the Clinton Foundation with the Clintons. Remember that Phoenix airport meeting between Clinton and Lynch? At the same time they were pushing the Steele Dossier they KNEW to be false.

He appeared to be yelling/berating him for a bit before. My guess, like so many other raving loonies is loss of control due to frustration in not being able to provoke the officer into reacting to the taunts.

Trump Slashes D.C Gun Permit Wait List as Part of Violent Crime Crackdown

https://slaynews.com/news/trum...ign=daily-newsletter

President Donald Trump’s sweeping law-and-order crackdown in Washington, D.C., is delivering a major win for law-abiding residents seeking the right to protect themselves.

The president’s Making D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force has slashed the city’s concealed carry and firearm registration wait times from months down to mere days, all without changing local gun laws.

The task force, created via Trump’s March executive order to revitalize the capital, worked directly with local officials to streamline the process for residents navigating the District’s notoriously strict firearms system.

In a statement, White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers said:

“President Trump is not only stopping violent crime in Washington, D.C., he is also streamlining the permitting process for law-abiding residents who want the ability to protect themselves and their families.

“The Making D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force has been working with local officials to eliminate longstanding obstacles and successfully reduced the average permit processing time from several months to just five days.”

Under the new system, D.C. residents can now book next-day appointments to register their firearms with the Metropolitan Police Department, with walk-ins available and advertised on the department’s website.

Just months ago, applicants typically waited four months for an appointment, a White House official confirmed.

The concealed carry process has also been overhauled.

What once took “several months” now takes an average of just 4.6 days, according to May task force data.

The registration and concealed carry application categories have been merged to avoid confusion, and fingerprinting options have been expanded after the D.C. City Council approved the use of third-party vendors on July 28.

Washington, D.C., still maintains some of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation, including a ban on most semi-automatic rifles, ammunition restrictions, and an extensive list of gun-free zones that covers public memorials, government buildings, schools, hospitals, stadiums, and any location where alcohol is sold.

Concealed carry holders must reapply every two years.

Applicants must still meet the city’s requirements, such as completing a firearms training course.

The MPD’s list of disqualifications includes refusing fingerprinting or photography, failing to pay fees, or attempting to register prohibited weapons like short-barreled shotguns and so-called “assault weapons.”

The working group is also exploring expanded carry rights, including allowing female permit holders to carry in handbags instead of being forced to strap firearms to their bodies, permitting concealed carry on public transit, and recognizing concealed carry permits from other states.

These changes would require D.C. City Council approval.

Trump’s task force includes members from the Department of the Interior, Department of Homeland Security, FBI, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for D.C.

Its mission: make the capital “safe, beautiful, and prosperous by preventing crime, punishing criminals, preserving order, protecting our revered American monuments, and promoting beautification and the preservation of our history and heritage.”

The March executive order was followed by Trump’s federalization of the D.C. police on Monday, deploying hundreds of National Guard troops and federal agents to sweep the streets under the District of Columbia Home Rule Act.

Trump hailed the move as “Liberation Day in D.C.,” declaring:

“We’re going to take our capital back.

“We’re taking it back under the authority vested in me as the president of the United States.

“I’m officially invoking section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. …

“In addition, I’m deploying the National Guard to help reestablish law, order, and public safety in Washington, D.C.

“And they’re going to be allowed to do their job properly.”

So will the WashDC police recognize other States’ carry permits, or is it exclusively for only DC residents ?

Sounds like that's a work in progress:

“A chilling video has allegedly shown a lawmaker accompanying a friend who stuffed ballots in a swing state that Donald Trump only won by just over 80,000 votes.

Abu Musa, city council member of Hamtramck, Michigan, was seen in the passenger seat of the black car handing several bundles of what appears to be absentee ballots to the driver.

Musa then watches the driver deposit three stacks of ballots into a drop box.

Michigan State Police confirmed the authenticity of the clip, which was filmed on August 1. It is part of an investigation into council members’ residency requirements.

The alleged ballot box stuffing incident took place just before the city's latest primary election on August 5 - which Musa won with more than 1,129 votes.

The video comes just days after two of Musa's councilmen colleagues, Muhtasin Sadman and Mohammed Hassan, were charged over forging ballots in the city's tightly-fought 2023 election.

Musa was previously named as 'under investigation' in the same conspiracy - but was not charged. …”

This incident is related to the August 5, 2025 primary election in Hamtramck, MI.
In my opinion, it is unprofessional of The Daily Mail to even mention Trump's name in this article.

While the article mentions Trump, the bigger story is how “ballot stuffing” is continuing to go on locally, and it’s not just national politics which sees this shadiness.

If you think Abu Musa and his buddies don’t stuff ballot boxes in national elections you’re a Pollyanna.

I missed that this time around; I normally think to check when videos are posted, but it's still applicable isn't it? Seems like it still echoes my feelings on the subject.
