Anyway, Trump was not including Zelensky in the latest Trump and Putin dialogue (still scheduled for around mid August in Alaska) and he's telling Zelensky he will need to give away parts of Ukraine to "bring pieces."

Russian nationalists have long demanded the return of Alaska. Now Trump has invited ICC-indicted Putin to the state

It's only fair. . . Though I'm sure Trump would call the idea of giving/selling Alaska to Russia to be a great "deal." Good job Krasnov. . . (whether or not he really was a Russia asset, it's difficult to tell. . .)

Some could argue that the Donbas region (going back to the Crimean War of the 19th century, and probably prior) has historically been a key point of conflict, and that it would be strategic for it's defense initiatives. . . Though arguably it could be seen that any territory where an aggressor has an advantage, is an asset to humanity when that advantage or privilege is taken away (perhaps the US will have it's day in the stockades as well. . .)

Sometimes the window pops open by accident and since some of the updates it seems to get people to click on the content by appearing to glitch to get you to notice it (most of which is akin to the modern version of the National Enquirer.)

I've found this to be very true at some parts of the internet, and most likely parts of the country.

Probably "the usual" (Palestine without Hamas, should be recognized) but it probably leaves out the usual transition details, where they will still be servile to Israel in the interim. What a shitty place to be.

Australia will recognize a Palestinian state, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Australia will recognize a Palestinian state, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Monday, joining the leaders of France, Britain and Canada in signaling they would do so.

His remarks followed weeks of urging from within his Cabinet and from many in Australia to recognize a Palestinian state and amid growing criticism from officials in his government over suffering and starvation in Gaza. Australia’s government has also criticized plans announced in recent days by Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu for a fresh, sweeping military offensive in Gaza.

Albanese told reporters after a Cabinet meeting Monday that Australia’s decision to recognize a Palestinian state will be formalized at the United Nations General Assembly in September. The acknowledgement was “predicated on commitments Australia has received from the Palestinian Authority,” Albanese said.

Those commitments included no role for Hamas in a Palestinian government, demilitarization of Gaza and the holding of elections, he said.

“A two-state solution is humanity’s best hope to break the cycle of violence in the Middle East and to bring an end to the conflict, suffering and starvation in Gaza,” Albanese said.

The nation’s capital waits for Trump’s next move as a federal takeover threat looms
https://apnews.com/article/washington-d ... 92f6c0b8fc

WASHINGTON (AP) — Around 2 a.m., noisy revelers emerging from clubs and bars packed the sidewalks of U Street in Washington, many of them seeking a late-night slice or falafel. A robust but not unusual contingent of city police cruisers lingered around the edges of the crowds. At other late-night hot spots, nearly identical scenes unfolded.

What wasn’t apparent in Friday’s earliest hours: any sort of security lockdown by a multiagency flood of uniformed federal law enforcement officers. That’s what President Donald Trump had promised Thursday, starting at midnight, in the administration’s latest move to impose its will on the nation’s capital.

In short, that law enforcement surge to take control of the District of Columbia’s streets did not appear to unfold on schedule. A two-hour city tour, starting around 1 a.m. Friday, revealed no overt or visible law enforcement presence other than members of the Metropolitan Police Department, the city’s police force.

That still might change in the coming evenings as Trump puts into action his long-standing plans to “take over” a capital city he has repeatedly slammed as unsafe, filthy and badly run. According to his Thursday declaration, the security lockdown will run for seven days, “with the option to extend as needed.” In an online post Saturday, the Republican president said the Democratic-led city would soon be one of the country’s safest and he announced a White House news conference for Monday, though he offered no details.

Another thing about Pedo boy is shared on FB.

There's absolutely no evidence out there that Trump colluded with the Russians except the Manafort thing, and the Flynn thing, and the Papadopoulos pleading guilty thing, and the Roger Stone thing, and the Cohen thing, and the Kushner thing, and the Carter Page thing, and the Jeff Sessions things, and the Wilbur Ross thing, and the JD Gordon thing, and the Erik Prince thing, and the James Comey firing thing, and the Russian hacking/Wikileaks thing, and the bro-love between TrumPutin thing, and the Russian propaganda machine favoring Trump thing, and the DJT "I have zero ties to Russia!" thing, and the Eric Trump "we get most of our financing from Russian banks” thing, and the Donald Trump Jr. "Our portfolio is made up of a disproportionate amount of Russian money" thing, and the DJT "I sold a $60 million mansion to a Russian oligarch known for money laundering for $120 million that he never once lived in" thing, and the Trump business ties with Putin's favorite sports athlete Fedor Emilianenko thing, and the Trump International Corporation's mysterious private server connection to Alfa Bank, Russia's largest commercial bank thing, and Russians guaranteeing sales of Trump properties so he can get backing thing, and sales of Trump properties to LLCs (who can hide their identity) going from 4% to 70% in the two years leading up to the election thing, and the Special prosecutor being named thing, and the I won't release my tax returns thing, and the Ivanka Trump's vacationing with Putin's girlfriend thing, and the 2013 Miss Universe Pageant in Moscow thing, and the Trump companies business ties to Felix Sater, a criminal felon indicted for stock fraud scheme with the Russian mafia thing, and the FL Group Icelandic hedge fund with massive ties to Putin being heavily invested in Trump Soho thing, and the Rex Tillerson/Exxon ties to Russia thing, and the Russian ambassador at Trump Tower sneaking in and out thing, and part of the dossier being corroborated thing, the Trump tried to roll back Russian sanctions the minute he got elected thing. And the Cambridge Analytica thing. And the Trump advocating for Russia to be allowed into the G7 again thing, And Trump mentioning Russia hacking the DNCs emails the same day they did thing. And the Russians funneling money through the NRA thing, and Trump’s private meeting and subsequent fealty display thing, and the Trump being afraid to be interviewed by Mueller under oath thing, and the stripping people who might testify against Trump and people in his administration of their security clearance thing, and far right 'internet' influencers paid by Moscow to push propaganda and misinformation for Trump, thing ... Other than that, there's absolutely no reason to suspect anything. Oh, and a very high ranked KGB officer saying Trump has been a Russian asset since 1987, thing. Oh, and Trump and Putin working together against Ukraine thing, and Trumps America with Russia and other world dictators, working together to stop Ukraine from joining NATO thing.

This is usually how they treat this idea:



And a sidewalk is more safe if you aren't in an area where driveways or intersections with the street are present, such as a busy bridge or stretch of road where you have perfect visibility of traffic (whereas the people that you aren't able to see behind your head/helmet are probably not use to a bike on the road and will hit you. . . If they aren't looking out for motorcyclists, you sure as heck are not given an advantage by riding a bike, especially when our own Politicians are prone to hit such people and pretend like they didn't because they were drunk and say they thought it was a deer.

Arkansas had a former Police Chief escape prison after murdering someone, and he was caught
https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/ark ... 40176.html

Also, just north of one of the roads leading to Devil's Den in Arkansas, from Winslow, a dead body was found at a rest stop in the back of a white SUV. The subject hasn't made the news yet, and there were some RVs that were visible there for some time, but the nature of the body being found suggests it might not have been a natural cause (nor that something like heat exhaustion was involved.)

Whether it was found because of the smell, or because a cop decided to check why the car was there for an extended period of time; the people in the area seem to only notice once it was being checked up on.

Hence this photo, as well as the SUV was visible from the locals living in the hills/homes nearby. . . (yokels, they call them. The hills have eyes.)

Ashli Babbitt's family was awarded $5 million?

According to this, not only was the stupid bitch warned due to situational awareness of people saying, "HE'S GOT A (FUCKING) GUN!" but the dildo of a husband claims she wasn't.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Ashli_Babbitt

If aiming a gun at them through the window wasn't enough, that they proceeded to smash to pieces to make way into the next part of the building, while being shouted at by the Police:

On the other side of the doors and barricade, Lieutenant Michael Byrd was aiming his pistol at the broken window. Despite several calls of "he's got a gun",[59] Babbitt, hoisted by two men,[21] began to climb through the shattered window. She was then shot in her left anterior shoulder[8] by Byrd[12][9] and fell back among the other protesters.[21] Babbitt had been warned not to proceed through the window: one witness recalled that "A number of police and Secret Service were saying 'Get back! Get down! Get out of the way!'; [Babbitt] didn't heed the call."[7][better source needed]

And as for the lawsuits by the Police that died following that day:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Brian_Sicknick

In January 2023, Sicknick's partner, Sandra Garza, filed a civil case for wrongful death and conspiracy (among other claims) against Trump, Khater and Tanios, $10 million from each defendant.[54] In January 2024, the wrongful death claims were dismissed as were two negligence claims against Trump. A claim of presidential immunity by Trump was also dismissed.[55]

On June 23, 2025, 69-year-old chiropractor David Walls-Kaufman was ordered to pay $380,000 in punitive damages and $60,000 in compensatory damages to Erin Smith for assaulting her husband during the Capitol riot. Walls-Kaufman had served a 60-day prison sentence after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor in 2023.[18]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_ ... Liebengood

In November of 2022, the United States Department of Justice classified Liebengood's suicide as a line-of-duty death, enabling his family to receive benefits through the Public Safety Officers' Benefit Program. This was the first designation for an officer who died in connection with the Capitol riot since Congress expanded eligibility to include those suffering from the traumatic effects of what they experienced on duty.[14]


If it isn't enough a warning--that he wasn't arrested and that the shit stain is back in the Capital--but this should become an even graver issue if he is being protected and having National Guard douchebags tackling people to the ground who are standing along streets protesting, but also being hit repeatedly in the head where they could easily be killed (when they are also standing on the walking path of a bridge where a protest just happens to be taking place. . . And those fuckwits that got arrested for "protesting" in DC on January 6th were pardoned despite having a legitimate criminal history that transpired as criminal acts on that day, and pretending like they weren't degenerates.

Power outage last night for 3-4 hours. Battery backup worked fine for my computer and I had time to turn it off properly, but I forgot that I made edits to a file on a remote server and didn't save it locally. So, today I notice the the local file isn't working locally and it took me an hour or two to remember that the new version is on the server.

For those who know web dev, it was my recently added virtual includes that make me need a server to develop some things. I have to look for an emulator. There was one I liked forever ago but the forum I mentioned it on no longer exists so I can't look it up.

Really odd, that a fire broke out in an historic Mosque (later turned into a Cathedral, hence the name Cathedral La Mezquita) in Cordoba, Spain.

It occurred on August 8th, 2025 in the Almanzor extension of the structure, used as a warehouse.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosque%E2 ... C3%B3rdoba

On August 8th, 1002, the person the extension is named after also died.


Probably more than a coincidence?

A Politician (Anna Paulina Luna) claims to have spotted a UAP in the skies during her Air Force days, and that she was "Men in Blacked" (could be a porno reference?) She seems to have a reputation for lying and I started to wonder why she has such weird publicity photos (such as in army garb holding a big rifle on a game of thrones type of chair?) Perhaps just a narcissist with a penchant for attention, and a lack of ethics? It's not so much that a UAP was possibly spotted (which isn't all that uncommon) but that she would go onto talk about the CIA remote viewing the Arc of the Covenant; as if trying to make Joe Rogen's podcast "interesting enough" wasn't enough of a deception of the gullible idiots that follow him.

************************

Agent provocateurs are being used to try and discredit the protests in DC and NYC (most of which involve the evident genocide in Gaza.)


I was listening (while waiting for cars to show up) in a live stream of Zelensky and what appeared to be politicians in the EU (I'm guessing they were Scandinavian countries and German, but didn't check) and you could visibly hear sirens (presumably to address crowds that might have been too close for their comfort zone)


The live updates posted from Zelensky's recent visit to White House: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08/18 ... aine-putin


Right-wing pundit (Benny Johnson) are lying about crime in DC under the guise that they aren't about ethnic cleansing: https://youtu.be/FqhBuPAdqfA

During the live updates on the event their were posts by Journalist indicating over a dozen killed in airstrikes by Russia on civilian buildings in Ukraine, amidst the obvious meeting to address what is happening (while Trump turd is of course as much of self-serving imbecile as any, who falls right into Putin's doctrine of maskirovka (deception) which is starting to work against him by their actions and evident weakness: https://youtu.be/pv5DnEWudDU

And Trump is now trying to avoid mail in ballots and is lying about fraud (because he is fraud)



MTG was making crap up about her ex-husband having a mail in ballot as was common, which he requested in a recent election, where he soon found that he couldn't just go to caste a vote since his mail in ballot was "pending," which MTG mischaracterized as proof of voter fraud (as though the vote was being stolen away from him.)

The fuckwad also is ready to send military into Ukraine (though maybe it would be in favor of Ukraine and potentially would target Russia, which I doubt, unless the EU get's involved and decides that the US has no say and is incapable of negotiating (or untrustworthy.)



Trump is also an imbecile for saying Biden was the reason for Russia to invade Ukraine (though I do believe Putin wouldn't have invaded if he didn't underestimate the potential outcome, when he only saw Trump as a mindless narcissist that he could manipulate into his favor.) That video is also really wrong about referring to Slovenian Melania as being from "Eastern Ukraine" (and if anything she is from the "Eastern Bloc" which is west of Ukraine and closer to the Mediteranian; hence the SLAVik origins when the Romans used them for free labor.)

Considering that he is planning to send troops over to Ukraine and brags about making some trade deals with Russia when having to address returning the children and families of Ukraine, it doesn't bode well for anything beyond turd brain's self-interest.

I still like to think his petty narcissism might have some redeeming qualities, but I just don't see it.

And South Park's comparison to Saddam Hussain and Trump is equitable, when you think of Uday and Qusay and their tendency to behave psychopathically, and the reports about Barron Trump (which seems to have a lot of damage-control with news articles and videos being removed, probably in response to the MAGA-cult:

Barron Trump 'Caught Killing' Animals; 'Slapped The F*** Out' Of His Nanny, Alleged Ex-Nanny Claims
https://www.enstarz.com/articles/235506 ... claims.htm

One of the videos MAGA followers like to post is a short clip taken out of context where Barron is approaching Biden during the transition of President where Biden kind of looks like he was given a mafia treatment, and proceeded to do the quasi-fascist arm movements as though to draw attention to himself as he lifts his hand up to his ears as though to bath in the crowd's applause; which the cult interpreted as "President material" when more than likely Biden was just reacting to the fact he was talking to Kamala or someone behind him as he was taking is place on the seating arrangement (though I wouldn't put it past him to have actually said something to the effect that he hopes he dies soon, if he is from the particular upbringing as he was and was groomed to be a turd-brain like his father and the shitty Melania.)

She likes to take full credit for how he turned out (hypothetical: "he's a good boy," they might say after knowing full well that dead prostitute in his trunk just happened to be there, and it was a mistake to accuse him of murdering them, when he just forgot to report the death by crack overdose to the forensics detective to clear himself of any culpability. That crypto money will be beneficial when paying legal defense in the future.)

US Army "Whistleblower" referring to 2020 Covid 19 vaccine?
https://www.facebook.com/reel/646019821875229

What's kind of absurd is that the military were historically always required to take an annual vaccination, especially one that (according to Neil deGrasse Tyson) is considered to have been tested on a trial basis and would ultimately have a much greater survival advantage than those that never took the vaccine/immunization (and considering the greater danger of not having a viable response to minimizing the spread of covid from having developed immunity against it; by not taking it, their was a much greater evil to society and as far as the military is concerned, to the defense of the country. It was as if you knowingly had AIDS and intentionally had the option to avoid contact with people but knowingly spread it because you refused to believe you were exposed to it, even when the science behind any medication was very limited. It's that conscientious objector in the face of lack of comprehension of something beyond what they were willing to admit the consequences of their actions (even if they knew it was bad, their "FA(&)FO" was that they would rather "FA" indifferently to ridicule and realizing that perhaps our government does like to use their own citizens as guinea pigs for things like nuclear radiation and syphilis, etc.?)
