A former Fox News host, who paid a settlement to avoid a sexual assault case, is Secretary of the
Department of Defense. The former head of World Wrestling Entertainment, who is accused of covering up the sexual abuse of
minors, is over the Department of Education. A former heroin addict, who is accused of sexual assault by a former family babysitter, is over the
Department of Health & Human Services. A 34 time convicted felon and adjudicated rapist, who has been accused of sexual assault by 26
women, is president of the United States. When unqualified, morally bereft, white people occupy the highest positions in our government, y'all
need to shut up about Black people and DEl.

Since 1987, not a single US Border Patrol agent has ever been held accountable criminally for the killing of a migrant, resident or US citizen. That is because these teams were and still are the largest coverup unit ever known to exist.

"Juan Cole contends that Israel (is) operating as a US airbase with a country appended. ...a vehicle for the two nations practicing aerial imperialism in the Middle East... I wonder if this is approaching its sell-by date faster than most realize."

“When the public loses faith in law enforcement the whole system begins to fail. The blueprint is: Create chaos. Blame the chaos. Then offer yourself as the cure. This plan is underway. The question now is if the rest of us will keep pretending this is law and order.”

This Isn’t Crisis Response. It’s Crisis Construction. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/o... The print edition header “Trump’s Made for TV Immigration Crackdown” nails it. But Times neocons managing the digital site alter and hide biting articles.
