tatortoddThis week, I changed my FB cover photo to Trump surfing a red wave while wearing his signature blue suit and red tie.
This morning, I received a notification from Lifelock on a "Risky Image Change" detected on FB.
WTF?

Rick Scott would be excellent as Majority Leader.
McConnell protégé Thune would be terrible, same with Cornyn.

There will be plenty of time to get into specifics about what Trump should do to get ready for Inauguration Day, but the most important thing to do right now is to get into the right mindset. We have power again, and we must use it effectively to do the things we were elected to do. We must ignore the regime media, which assisted in this by making itself ridiculous during this campaign. We must enjoy the cries of the Democrats, who assisted in this by making themselves ridiculous. And we must ignore the cries of the soft Republicans who are afraid to do what must be done to Make America Great Again.
To the victor goes the spoils. Time to collect our spoils. We won. We need to act like it. And if they aren’t crying, we aren’t trying.
Watch Michael Corleone take care of business, he knew how to do it. Does Trump have any grandchildren that need to be Baptized?

Literally 0% chance for either of them.

sigspecopsI know it's not likely, but I'd love to see Rand Paul unleashed on the Federal Reserve. I want a full complete audit for the first time since that rotten institution was created.

12131 BREAKING NEWS Iranian plot to kill President-elect Donald Trump thwarted before the electionBy SARAH EWALL-WICE, SENIOR POLITICAL REPORTER
PUBLISHED: 12:25 EST, 8 November 2024 | UPDATED: 12:56 EST, 8 November 2024
The Justice Department unsealed criminal charges for individuals involved in a thwarted Iran-backed plot to kill President-elect Donald Trump before the election.
Three people were charged in the alleged Iran-backed murder-for-hire plot on Trump's life.
Shakeri, 51, still remains at-large in Iran while Carlisle Rivera, 49, and Jonathon Loadholt, 36, were arrested in New York.
The criminal complaint filed in Manhattan on Friday alleges an unnamed official in the Iranian paramilitary Revolutionary Guard instructed a contact in September to put together a plan to surveil and kill Trump, according to the Associated Press.
The court filing states that the contact, Farjad Shakeri, was unable to create a plan in time before the election
The Iranian official told Shakeri that Iran would pause its plan until after the presidential election because the official believed Trump would lose.
As a result, it would be easier to assassinate him then, the filing went on.
Shakeri used a network of criminal associates he met in prison in the U.S. to 'supply the IRGC with operatives to conduct surveillance and assassinations of IRGC targets.'
According to the Justice Department, the IRGC has publicly stated its desire to 'avenge the death of Soleimani.'
That includes hatching plots and conducting 'attack operations outside Iran targeting U.S. citizens.'
Rivera and Loadholt were allegedly directed by Shakeri to surveil an unnamed U.S. citizen who is an 'outspoken critic' of the Iranian regime.
'In exchange for Shakeri’s promise of $100,000, Rivera and Loadholt repeatedly sought to locate Victim-1 for murder,' the complaint states.
They traveled to Fairfield University in Connecticut, where the individual was set to appear earlier this year, and also stalked her home in Brooklyn.
Shakeri told Rivera in a voicenote when discussing the murder plot 'You just gotta have patience … You gotta wait and have patience to catch her either going in the house or coming out, or following her out somewhere and taking care of it. Don’t think about going in. In is a suicide move.'
Weeks before the election, the Trump campaign asked to use military planes and vehicles amid concerns that Iran was plotting to kill the former president.
Donald Trump has survived two recent assassination attempts and his officials asked for a string of extra protections during the final month of campaigning, according to sources familiar with the matter.
Those include traveling on military jets, extra flight restrictions over his residences and events, and prepositioning ballistic glass in battleground states for open-air rallies.
The requests were unprecedented for a presidential nominee.
In September, the Trump campaign revealed it had been briefed on the threat from Tehran.
'Big threats on my life by Iran,' Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. 'The entire US military is watching and waiting.
'Moves were already made by Iran that didn't work out, but they will try again.'
Trump assassination attempt pictures released by the governmentSince then, a Pakistani national has been charged in connection with a 'murder-for-hire' plot to assassinate a politician or government official.
FBI Director Christopher Wray said it was 'straight out of the Iranian regime's playbook.'
Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement that there are 'few actors' in the world that 'pose as grave a threat to the national security of the United States as does Iran.'
'The Justice Department has charged an asset of the Iranian regime who was tasked by the regime to direct a network of criminal associates to further Iran's assassination plots against its targets, including President-elect Donald Trump.'
'We have also charged and arrested two individuals who we allege were recruited as part of that network to silence and kill, on U.S. soil, an American journalist who has been a prominent critic of the regime. We will not stand for the Iranian regime's attempts to endanger the American people and America's national security.'

justjoeThis is the funniest thing I have seen in a long time. I hope someone can embed it.
https://x.com/CollinRugg/statu...ction-is-funniest%2FI was a college professor for 40 years. I knew professors like this, lots of them. I can't tell you how funny – and satisfying-- it was to watch this.
Thank you, Dan H, and stoic – one. So that you don't both take down your posts, how about if stoic– one, you take yours down?

Candace Owens calls for President Trump to appoint Alex Jones as the next press secretary!
Oh that would be fun to watch!

konata88Seriously, she needs to be fired. She's not capable of the level of rational thought and logic that should be default of a college professor.

I was at the Barnes & Noble earlier and I asked the clerk if they had Donald Trump's new book on how to deport illegal immigrants.
She immediately said to me,
"Get the fuck out of here and don't come back."
I said, "Yes, that's the one. Do you have it in paperback?"
