https://www.zerohedge.com/political/convicted-pedophile-funneled-millions-foreign-cash-hillary-clintons-2016-campaign-report

Convicted pedophile, UAE adviser and central witness in former special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation, George Nader, has pleaded guilty to his role in helping the UAE funnel millions of dollars in illegal campaign contributions into US campaigns during the 2016 presidential election, according to The Intercept, citing federal court documents filed last month.

In a December sentencing memo, federal prosecutors disclosed that Nader had agreed months early to plead guilty to a single count of felony conspiracy to defraud the US government by pumping millions in donations to Hillary Clinton's campaign - concealing the foreign origin of the funds.

Prosecutors have sought a five-year sentence for Nader - after he completes the 10-year sentence he's currently serving for possessing child pornography, and for sex-trafficking a minor to the US "for the purpose of engaging in criminal sexual activity."

Weird how seemingly those who are so vocal about women's rights, gay rights, blm, etc, are the one's who wouldn't mind a little gulag archipelago action.

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/01/17/poll-59-percent-of-democrats-favor-government-confining-unvaccinated-americans-to-their-homes/

The survey listed a series of potential coronavirus-related actions, gauging support for a series of penalties, including fines, stay at home orders, and designated facilities for the unvaccinated and critics of the vaccines.

“Would you strongly favor, somewhat favor, somewhat oppose or strongly oppose a proposal to limit the spread of the coronavirus by having federal or state governments require that citizens remain confined to their homes at all times, except for emergencies, if they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine?” the survey asked.

While 61 percent, overall, reject that scenario, the survey found 59 percent of Democrats favor the government requiring unvaccinated individuals to stay at home “at all times” with exceptions only for emergencies. Of those, 35 percent of Democrats “strongly” favor that proposal. Another 55 percent of Democrats said they favor the government fining unvaccinated Americans, while 45 percent said they would favor a proposal to limit the spread of the coronavirus “by having federal or state governments require that citizens temporarily live in designated facilities or locations if they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine.”

Teens writing the tweets too?




Program would allow certain teens to become truck drivers amid supply chain crisis
Most states allow individuals to obtain a commercial driver's license at age 18, but they still can't move goods from state to state until they are 21.

Election Fraud: Judge Rules Ballot Drop Boxes in Wisconsin 2020 Election Illegal

Seems unusual - maybe a resident USN savvy person can chime in.  It looks like a decently large number of ships left Norfolk, San Diego and to a lesser extent Hawaii yesterday.  This twitter feed apparently scrapes social media, webcams, etc. for the purpose of spotting military vessels as they come and go.

Here's some of what was posted yesterday

And so then what's the remedy, or is it "The drop boxes were illegal. Tough shit."?

Three LHDs getting underway on a Tuesday is a bit unusual, except for hurricane evasion.  Plus, post-availability shakedowns in VACAPES usually go out bright and early on Monday and are back in Friday afternoon.  If they all headed down to Morehead City (where Atlantic Fleet Gators embark Marines), I'd take that as Joey Poopypants fixing to get act like a tough guy with Russia.

You have to keep in mind that it's easier to cover it, if you create it.  Takes away all that work of going out and looking for it, then investigating it to verify it.

Sure.  Disaster relief is almost a primary mission for LHAs.  Destroyers aren't well suited to relief efforts though, and submarines not at all.  Of course the Left Coast movements are probably unrelated to each other, and just normal ops.

And because he's a senile old man who was rambling on the WH press secretary felt the need to put out a statement clarifying the US position on Ukraine...  fucking clown world.  I guess Psaki is running things.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/01/19/statement-from-press-secretary-jen-psaki-on-russian-aggression-towards-ukraine/

President Biden has been clear with the Russian President: If any Russian military forces move across the Ukrainian border, that’s a renewed invasion, and it will be met with a swift, severe, and united response from the United States and our Allies. President Biden also knows from long experience that the Russians have an extensive playbook of aggression short of military action, including cyberattacks and paramilitary tactics. And he affirmed today that those acts of Russian aggression will be met with a decisive, reciprocal, and united response.

If you search images of "concrete rail ties" (which those are), you'll see that they are frequently designed with a dip in the middle, and sometimes at each end.

I'm only a closet rail fanboy, so I can't tell you for certain.  But as an engineer, I'd say they're using the minimum amount of material to achieve the goal.  

Or maybe to give more clearance for the air lines?  [shrug]

Don't know for sure, but I suspect the answer is a mix of "engineering" and "economics."  Probably has something to do with strength of materials, ease of fabrication (casting in that shape is no harder than a straight block, really, while shaping a wood tie like that would be a pain), and conservation of material (the part in the middle doesn't need to be there, so why spend money on the extra concrete.)
