Smoking gun for sure. I think most of the tools are not paid in cash, though. They are paid in information, especially insider investment tips but also including opposition research and the screening of potential associates. It can also include other favors, such as employment or elite college admissions for the children of targets. This kind of payoff is much harder to detect or prove.
In turn, this information, and other payoffs, are acquired through blackmail. Researchers who are not constrained by the law, and who have essentially limitless resources, would have no trouble finding potentially useful people who desperately need to hide something. This allows the reseachers to build up what amounts to a catalog of sources who can benefit the targets the researchers seek to influence.

No one can stand that voice for long.
President Biden is expected to sign an executive order Tuesday that would ban migrants who cross the border illegally from claiming asylum, allowing them to be quickly deported back to Mexico or their home countries,” the Wall Street Journal reports.“The order, which Biden plans to sign alongside several mayors from southern-border communities, will restrict the flow of migrants over the border by making it illegal to claim asylum if someone crosses into the U.S. illegally. The move is expected to be met with legal challenges, and in any event could prove tough to implement without significant additional funding from Congress.”
Smart move
He reluctantly has to.
If only there had been a tough enforcement-focused bipartisan immigration bill negotiated in the Senate last year, that could be passed and would help fund some of these measures.

Someone also suggested taking a certified IQ test, because no one who didn’t go to college could possibly be smart enough (cough, poverty).

Man [Serial rapist] arrested for sexual assault of a child
On May 28, 2024, the Dallas Police Child Exploitation Squad issued a warrant for Matthew Harmon, 46, for Sexual Assault of a Child.
After a yearlong investigation, detectives determined the offense occurred in 2007, involving a victim Harmon met while working at The Providence School in Dallas. Harmon was a teacher/coach at the school from 2004-2007.
The investigation also determined Harmon was also a volunteer at Trinity Christian Academy for several years, assisting with an 8th grade wilderness camp; and worked summers at Kanakuk Durango, Colorado, and Kanakuk in Branson, Missouri, beginning in 1995 through the mid-2000s.
Through the course of this investigation, detectives determined Harmon had been in contact with thousands of children through his work and volunteering. Detectives have identified additional victims, and believe there may be other victims still not identified.

One of the (many) stupid aspects of this Republican-led committee ‘investigation’ is the whining about the six-foot distancing rule. As it turned out, an insufficient distance to stop aerosol spread. Imagine the freakout if the rule had been 20 feet, or thirty, or fifty. They didn’t want an effective distancing rule, they just wanted to whine at Fauci for trying to do something to help.
Multiple Republican members questioned Fauci about the CDC’s pandemic-era recommendations, like staying six feet apart for social distancing. Fauci acknowledged the precaution had not been studied in trials, and later turned out to be insufficient to stop spread of the virus through the air.
“We had discussions at the White House about that, we did, but this was the CDC’s decision and was their decision to make and they made it,” Fauci said.

Reddit’s r/PastorArrested
Every day, every denomination, a sordid parade of child rape, sexual assaults, sexual harassment, and the occasional theft of church money (by far the minority reported crime).
All entries at the subreddit are verified in media or court reports.
Part of the problem is the authoritarian nature of churches. Parents place trust in church leaders “called” or “appointed” by God, because such a person would never be a moral Dumpster fire.
When a child does come forward, ofttimes the congregation will circle the wagons, accusing the child of lying or trying to bring discredit on their church, whilst parents will try to suppress their children from speaking out (or throw them out of the home).
The SBC right now is under federal indictment for destruction of documents showing that student rapes reported to their campus police were routinely destroyed. (The case is moving forward because several women went to real police to report the alleged crimes.)
Those women are also in hiding under police protection, due to death threats from Christians (and not just Southern Baptists).

Sandy Hook families ask bankruptcy judge to liquidate Alex Jones’ media company (KTLA-TV, Los Angeles)
Relatives of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting are asking a bankruptcy judge to liquidate conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ media company, including Infowars, instead of allowing him to reorganize his business as they seek to collect on $1.5 billion in lawsuit verdicts against him.
Lawyers for the families filed an emergency motion Sunday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Houston, saying Free Speech Systems has “no prospect” of getting a reorganization plan approved by the court and has “failed to demonstrate any hope of beginning to satisfy” their legal claims, which relate to Jones calling the 2012 school shooting a hoax.
A hearing in Free Speech Systems’ bankruptcy case was scheduled for Monday related to a dispute over the company’s finances.

Southwest Airlines is back in court over firing of flight attendant with anti-abortion views (Associated Press)
She was not fired for having anti-abortion views.
She was fired for harassing the union leader about them, sending graphic photographs, and saying her Christian faith compels her.
The Christian judge agreed with the flight attendant, arguing her religious liberty was violated. In a related order, he also ordered Southwest’s lawyers to all take “religious liberty training” from a religious lawfare group.
Southwest argues flight attendant Charlene Carter was fired because she violated company rules requiring civility in the workplace by sending “hostile and graphic” anti-abortion messages to a fellow employee, who also was president of the local union.
Carter called the union leader “despicable” for attending the 2017 Women’s March in Washington, D.C., where participants protested the inauguration of then-President Donald Trump and called for protecting abortion rights.
Carter’s attorneys argue in briefs that she made clear to management she sent the material “because she was a pro-life Christian, and as a Christian she believes she must get the word out to anyone who touches the issue of abortion.”
They argued firing her violated federal law shielding employees from religious-based discrimination and that Southwest management and the union, which complained about Carr’s messages, should be held liable for her firing.

In March 2007, 17-year-old high school senior Chelsea Doss (now Chelsea Brooke Rose), traveled four hours from Eagleville to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, to participate in the state’s 79th annual Future Farmers of America convention. Over the course of three days, her Eagleville High School chapter competed in the state competition, and nine of its members, including Chelsea, won the State Superior award, a top showing. That wasn’t all. Chelsea also won the State Job Interview contest, and was even named the 2007-2008 Tennessee FFA Association state president.
Among the convention attendees was her future husband, the then vice chairman of the board of the Tennessee FFA and current Tennessee congressman John Rose.
Not even four years later, according to an engagement announcement in the now-defunct local paper the Eagleville Times, the two were married. Chelsea was at the time a 21-year-old college senior at Tennessee Technical University; John was a 45-year-old software executive with a long history of involvement in the Tennessee FFA, a board member of both the FFA and chairman of the board at Chelsea’s college.

re: #94 wrenchwench
My main issue with trying to use a bicycle for errands when living in Philadelphia was simply a general lack of places to put a bicycle while I was working or would be in shops.
Very few bicycle racks in public areas. And very few available slots in what ones there were. And I was (an am) not a fan of just locking the bicycle to a nearby railing or fence not intended for that purpose.
By the time I left Philly things were improving. The bike rental thing was in operation, there were more marked bicycle lanes*, and as parking meters were removed in exchange for parking receipt kiosks many of the meter posts were converted to allow a bicycle or two to be locked up there.
There are a few bicycle racks here where I am now north of Pittsburgh. But those are clogged with a wide array of half-wrecked childrens bicycles. And also a place I would be wary about leaving a bicycle outside for any extended period of time. Storing them on the balcony is a lease violation.** And the other major limitation for keeping a bicycle in the apartment is not having any available method to clean it off before bringing it inside. (Which was a factor in Philly as well.)
* - Marked, but only more recently did they start to evenly mildly barrier them off. Cars double-parking in the bicycle lane was a constant threat.
** - Well, a bunch of stuff is a lease violation that seems to be honored in the breach given how many propane grills I see on balconies as I walk around the place. As well as people walking dogs after 5pm. (Outside of registered service animals dogs are not allowed.)

Another note for bicycling in western PA is that a lot of the secondary roads are essentially deathtraps for bicyclists.

Plus lots of the intersections are at odd angles or have undergrowth blocking views as well.
And all this before even considering the odds of encountering a bad or unobservant driver.

Grayzone editor receives thousands from Iranian and Russian media. Shocker!
www-staging.washingtonpost.com
Recently unearthed documents reveal that leaders of an online news site aimed at Americans have received money from both Russian and Iranian government media outlets, showing how widening geopolitical alliances are making it harder to identify and trace foreign influence operations.
Hacked emails and other documents from the Iranian government-funded Press TV show payments of thousands of dollars to a writer who is now a Washington-based editor for Grayzone, whose founder regularly appears on Russian television and once accepted a trip to Moscow for a celebration of Russian state-controlled video network RT that featured Vladimir Putin.
Misinformation experts say the overlap in funding underscores concern that the spread of falsehoods and propaganda online is entering a more complicated stage as the November election draws closer.
“What you are reporting is, I think, the most practical example of that convergence we’ve seen, where you have someone who has deep ties to Iranian state media working for an organization that we also know is a destination for narrative laundering from Russia,” said Emerson Brooking, co-director of the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensics Research Lab.

The Press TV files, much of them in Persian, were released on Telegram in 2022 by a self-proclaimed hacktivist group called Black Reward, but the files received little attention then. An activist disinformation researcher, Neal Rauhauser, converted them into a searchable format and provided them to The Washington Post.The files appear to show that the Iranian broadcaster paid a Washington-based reporter for occasional contributions to its programming in 2020 and 2021 while he was working as a correspondent for Russia’s Sputnik news outlet.
That reporter, Wyatt Reed, had nine bylines in the online publication Grayzone in 2019 and 2020, followed by a gap of 2½ years. He has had 24 more Grayzone bylines since mid-2023, when he was identified as managing editor.
Grayzone posts content on the web, X and YouTube and has been highly critical of Iran’s regional enemy Israel and its supporters in the United States. Reed did not respond to repeated requests for comment. Grayzone top editor Max Blumenthal did not answer emails seeking comment.

To such people I just quote Peter Drucker at them,
BA stands for Bugger All. MBA stands for More Bugger All. PhD stands for Piled Higher and Deeper.
And…
The only thing a degree certifies is the a person has sat for a long time.

I keep waiting for SCOTUS to wake up one day and exclaim, “What the hell were we thinking?” and announce a decision that says no, Trump isn’t immune, and btw, we fucked up on Dobbs and abortion is a right and there will be no drilling in ANWR and the voting rights act is fully restored, so fuck you GOP…no more racist gerrymanders.

“Kansas supreme court rules state constitution does not provide the right to vote”
Civics 101: Yeah, because the US Constitution has that covered and enshrines the right to ALL US citizens over the age of 18, no matter their race or sex.
“Our government is based in the people sharing power with the government, right?”
“Yes.”
“And how do people share that power?”
“By voting.”
“And so people obviously have to be able to vote to share that power, right?”
“No.”
