When Trump left the White House, he took documents that should have been turned over to the National Archives. Months of back-and-forth and a subpoena got some returned. Somewhere along the way, his lawyers said all the documents were returned, but they had wrong information. The FBI conducted a search to get the documents back and If you recall, Trump went on social media and in the news complaining about how the search was conducted.

Maybe you one of the ones who sided with Trump, not only for the way the search was conducted but that he had rights to keep the documents in question. That search was about 9 months ago.

We're not done yet.
I heard some things today that are news (to me) where some of the Mar-a-Lago staff revealed they were instructed to do a dress rehearsal of moving boxes a day before the search and at least one of Trump's attorneys was present for the search.
I didn't pay attention to the second part, which is more significant.
While Trump claimed it was a surprise, it appears Corcoran, one of his his legal advisers confirmed the date with FBI when they could meet to pick up the documents.

Did Trump know or did he not know the date they were to arrive for the search?
We do know he was away and It was stated he was watching via the surveillance cameras.

So far, none of this is looking to be in favor of Trump. At the CNN televised meeting he admitted to having the documents and believes he has the right to retain them.

Top story this afternoon: Stewart Rhodes, founder of the extremist group OATH KEEPERS was sentenced to 18 years in prison for seditious conspiracy in connection with the January 6th attack on the US Capitol.
His sentence is the longest that has been handed down so far in the hundreds of Capitol riot cases. A lawyer for Rhodes stated they plan to appeal his conviction.

E. Jean Carroll won her defamation suit against Donald J. Trump where the court ordered him to pay nearly $5 million. During the trial he was posting offensive comments about the woman despite the judges warning. My opinion, was the judge should have given a demand and not a request. That way, he could have been found in contempt and a night in jail would have been a clear message... they could have picked him up at the airport on his return from his Scottish golfing trip.

Right after the court decision, like nothing happened, he again defamed Carroll in a televised town meeting and again after in a rally. Obviously, he hasn't learned to STFU and on Monday, Carroll's lawyers amended the lawsuit, seeking at least $10 million more in a court filing that seeks to hold him liable for additional remarks he made after the verdict.

How many more times...

I am hung like a horse

Today in a community in my province. Not a storm system, just a cold front.

I guess Americans should worry more about Yellowstone. On Russian Federal TV Putin’s national-security advisor. Patrushev, said, “The extinction of all forms of life in North America is inevitable because Yellowstone will blow up, and that’s why the US wants to occupy Russia."


Russia's fright trains are exoeriencing a problem. A decade or so ago Russia replaced most of their old box cars with imported, larger, ones of a new design from Sweden that can carry about 8 tons more than the old ones due to an improved suspension system. The wheels of the new rail cars use specialized cassette type wheel bearings with components made by the firms of Swedish SKF, Timken and Amsted Rail from the USA. The components had been shipped to Russia and assembled there. Every few months those bearings require replacement. Before February 2022 that was not a problem. The Russian National Transport Company (NTC),uses about 200,000 of these improved box cars. When Russia launched it's Special Military Operation sanctions kicked in and all 3 companies ceased ceased doing business with NTC and left Russia. Russia lacks the capability to make their own high tech replacement components for those wheel bearings (although efforts continue). By August of 2022 about 10,000 freight cars were taken out of service due to the lack of bearings and the impossibility of repair, By the end of 2023 it is anticipated more than 100,000 units will be no longer usable and the entire fleet of 200,000 rail cars is at risk.
Story:

Prigozhin, the head of Russia's Wagner Group (a private mercenary army under contract to the Kremlin) is a little upset at the commanding generals or Russia's Army. Something to do with ammunition shortages.
<To avoid upsetting some viewers the more gruesome parts of this video have been blacked out>


Mr. Prigozhin, in a different video he released yesterday (#2 of 3) stated that of the 50,000 Wagner troops he had arrived with and begun the assault of Bakhmut with last August, over 30,000 of them are now dead.

All 3 of his videos yesterday are available for view on JoeBlogs YouTube page. In one of them he has some specific things to say about the Commanding General of Russia's army. words like cowardly faggot, etc. Clearly Prigozhin is one of Putin's fair haired boys as he is still alive tonight.

I'm not sure how Rudolph Giuliani aka Rudy Giuliani gets to pronounce his name Jew-lee-on-knee, but the former New York mayor and lawyer was walking the edge of a quagmire for a few years now and has lost his footing.

His largest claim to fame has been lawyer for Donald J. Trump and that's getting him in a world of trouble for the 2020 election with claims of fraud.

In 2022 he was campaigning (soliciting) for his son in a grocery store when one of the workers tapped him on the back and called him a name (What's up scumbag?) and Rudy claimed he was hit so hard it felt like a shot or being hit with a boulder.
The man was arrested and lost his job. Surveillance video shows a totally different perspective to Rudy's claim. The guy is suing Rudy for $2 Million for false arrest.

The new news is a woman who claims to having been a former associate to Rudy is owed back wages and claims to have been forced into a s*xual relationship. She's seeking $10 Million and says she's got audio to back up her story.

The tip of the iceberg is the claim that Rudy and Donald J. Trump had a plan to sell presidential pardons for $2 million each.

If all this is true, Rudy could slip into the quagmire and possibly take the former president with him.
