USS Cole retired commander rips slow-walk to justice for 9/11 terrorist suspects. Mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is still not sentenced to death

Indeed, it is a huge scandal that some of the trials against major suspects of the 9/11 terrorist attacks have not yet occurred.

Justice delayed is justice denied!

Mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was apprehended via a special operation in Pakistan in 2003!!! Apparently, during the administration of the awful President Obama his trials were delayed due to dubious claims of torture at Guantanamo Bay detention camp.

"The former commander of the USS Cole has a November court date with the terrorist accused of masterminding the suicide bombing of his ship that killed 17 sailors — but he’s incensed that justice keeps being delayed for 9/11 families. ...

A Nov. 19 trial date has been set for Saudi citizen Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri for masterminding the Oct. 12, 2000, bombing of the Cole, a guided missile destroyer, during a refueling stop in the port of Aden, Yemen. Seventeen sailors were killed in that attack, which was a prelude to the 9/11 hijackings. ...

A June 2028 trial date was announced this week for 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and three of his co-conspirators. Nearly 3,000 people were killed that day on Sept. 11, 2001. The terrorists will go before a military tribunal in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. ..."

Pentagon removes ex-DNI Director James Clapper's name from auditorium at Defense Intelligence Agency HQ

Good news! I might be mistaken about Mr. Clapper, but he came across like a crook, dummy and a sleaze bag!

He (age 85) was in office under President Obama from 2010-2017.

Russiagate quietly reaches Supreme Court as justices asked to allow feds to be sued for FISA abuses

Good news! What took so long! It has been known ver early on for several years that the FISA Court was abused to obtain phony warrants by Comey's FBI under Presidents Obama/Biden.

Long overdue: EPA at last abandoning the endangerment finding

Recommendable! Hopefully, President Trump will end the ridiculous endangerment finding regarding CO2!

Only fools and morons (many scientists included) declare that a life essential trace gas like CO2 is the cause of global warming/climate change! When ideology and superstition trump science!

This was also a grandiose failure of the US Supreme Court to go along!

This was perhaps one of the worst achievements of or a greatest drama created by President Obama!

"The Environmental Protection Agency’s reconsideration of its so-called “endangerment finding” is long overdue.

It was already true in 2009, when the endangerment finding was first established to regulate motor vehicle greenhouse gas emissions. Sixteen years of additional evidence later, it is even more evident. ...

In 2009, the EPA administrator determined that public health and welfare were threatened by the indirect impact of greenhouse gases as a driver of climate change. This marked the first time ever that the EPA had used a heretofore undiscovered “procedural discretion” to regulate such emissions, because the Clean Air Act was “silent on [the] issue.” ...

In Massachusetts v. EPA [in 2007], the U.S. Supreme Court opened the door to regulating greenhouse gases as pollutants. The court’s majority was rewriting law, not following it as written by Congress. Congress has directly considered bills to regulate greenhouse gases, adopting none of them. When those bills were considered, no one suggested that the EPA already had such authority under the Clean Air Act.

The Massachusetts v. EPA ruling was nothing more nor less than the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade moment in the realm of environmental policy. The court gave individuals and states the right to force the federal government to adopt regulations, even though under the Constitution, only Congress has legislative authority and is the only branch of government delegated the power to regulate interstate commerce.

Recently, in West Virginia v. EPA [in 2022], the Supreme Court reexamined the scope of EPA authority with regard to “major questions.” According to the ruling, the EPA “exceeded its statutory authority when it interpreted the Clean Air Act to require …. permitting for stationary sources based on their greenhouse gas emissions” and “may not treat greenhouse gases as a pollutant.” ..."

2016 intel report was tasked to probe Chinese election meddling, but instead focused just on Russia

For decades, the Soviet Union was suspected of meddling in Western elections and more! I am not aware or do not remember of such efforts by Communist China in the 20th century.

Western countries would be well advised to monitor both countries when it comes to election integrity!

"The controversial January 2017 intelligence community assessment (ICA) on meddling in the 2016 election was supposed to include details on Chinese hacking efforts targeting U.S. presidential campaigns in 2008 and 2012 — but it focused solely on Russia instead, and never mentioned Beijing once.

The omission of any mention of China in the publicly available versions of the January 2017 ICA is notable, given that internal emails indicate President Barack Obama ordered the ICA to include details on China’s 2008 cyber campaign targeting the campaign of Obama and of his opponent, since-deceased and then-Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. ..."

Obama's now-obliterated intel assessment on foreign influence in the 2016 election was supposed to also research China's history of hacking U.S. presidential campaigns. Despite that task, the assessment never mentioned Beijing at all, and instead was focussed on creating a false Trump/Russia collusion narrative."

EXPLOSIONS and panic in the CRIMEA! Ukrainian ARMY preparing to liberate the peninsula

Good news! Good luck and success to repel the Russian invaders! The West made a huge mistake to let the megalomaniac and war criminal to attack and occupy the Crimean peninsula in 2014! President Obama failed totally!

Before weaponizing Russia against Trump, Biden and other Democrats reaped lucrative benefits from Russia

Perhaps, not only the Biden family clan was corrupt! What about Barack Obama and Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary Clinton?

Caveat: I did not read the entire, long article.

"While Democrats weaponized invented Russia collusion claims in an attempt to sink President Donald Trump’s first term, in retrospect the party’s leaders have often gone soft on Russia when it wanted to reap financial or political benefits for themselves or allies. ...

From the Obama-era "Russian Reset" and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s Skolkovo investment project to Hunter Biden’s business in Moscow and President Joe Biden’s waiving of sanctions against a Russian pipeline, key Democratic figures reaped political and financial benefits from going soft on Moscow. ...

In one case, the policy of Obama’s Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to support and develop Russia’s “Silicon Valley,” known as Skolkovo, may have undermined U.S. national security while the family’s Clinton Foundation pocketed donations from Russian donors. After Russia’s first invasion of Ukraine, she would later make an about-face, instigating a narrative wherein Russia allegedly interfered and deprived her of victory in the 2016 election in which she was a candidate. She called her opponent, Donald Trump, a “Trojan Horse for Putin.” ..."

Did US Force Qatar to Expel Hamas Leaders? with Palki Sharma

Why the US has allowed and supported the leadership of Hamas to live in Qatar at least since President Obama is outrageous! Why could they not have lived in Gaza?

Make no mistake, Hamas were terrorists long before October 7!

Image of the day

The triumvirate of the Dimocratic Party! In one picture, the worst this party has offered since 2009!

Why are former Presidents Obama and Clinton covering up and supporting the 46th President?

Shame on them! They want a puppet on a string! They are not doing America a favor to put it mildly! Some would perhaps go so far to call them morally corrupt, irresponsible and reckless traitors of the American cause, the Founding Fathers and Mothers, and the U.S. Constitution. The political party or the current president do not come first under any circumstances unless you are power obsessed!

The evidence is difficult to refute: The 46th President is a lifelong pathological and serial liar and a senile, demented, and seriously corrupt/compromised president! He is a paragon of opportunism! The domestic and international damage done by the Dimocratic Party is enormous!

Responsible former presidents would have tried to convince the current president to resign for age/health reasons a long time ago. Maybe they tried, but who knows. But to appear at reelection and fund raising events is not a sign they did it!

Both former presidents managed once more to tarnish their reputation!

46th President Presides Over Record 11 Embassy Evacuations, more than any other President before him. President Obama ranks second!

Headline of the day! Weak and frail!

They are saying the 46th Administration is an extension of the Obama Administration! This could be more confirmation!

"... With that evacuation of the embassy in Haiti, the Biden administration has presided over more evacuations of U.S. embassies—a total of 11—than any other presidential administration in U.S. history.  ...

President Barack Obama presided over the second-most embassy evacuations of any administration with a total of eight over two terms (Egypt, Libya, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Central African Republic, and South Sudan), or about one a year. Donald Trump presided over three partial evacuations in his four years as president. ..."

Most Corrupt: President Barrack Obama

Very recommendable! Yes, Obama was a terrible president! I blogged here about his tainted legacy. Recently, his personal chef drowned in the waters by Martha's Vineyard. Many of his dubious members of his administration are now part of the administration of the senile, demented and corrupt 46th President.

Tom Basile: Obama opened the door for Biden's 'corruption'

Recommendable! President Obama was horrible! Here is more evidence!

What did President Obama know about his Vice President's corruption? Was his late personal chef willing to talk?

And when did he know about it? Or was President Obama blind and naive?

How  and how much was he a beneficiary?

Without the cooperation of President Obama, the value of the Biden "brand" would have been much less!

Perhaps, his and his wife's personal chef Tafari Campbell had to die drowning in late July 2023, while swimming/paddle boarding near the Obama mansion by the beach of Martha's Vineyard? An accident? Or was he trying to extort the Obama's? Or was he considering to talk to law enforcement? Why did the Obama's keep their once White House chef employed after his presidency?

Or was Joseph Biden mainly bribed so Obama would also be compromised for the rest of his life?

Cocaine dealer, who had life sentence commuted by President Obama in 2016, hit with 3 counts of attempted murder

When you had an arrogant crackpot like Obama in the White House!

Caveat: I do not know anything about the perpetrator or his criminal background. I suspect his lifetime criminal background is worse than just a cocaine dealer. Possibly, his full criminal background is not known.

"... In 1994, Mills received a life sentence in prison for trafficking cocaine. The crime was his third felony conviction.

Previously, Democrats lauded Mills as an example of the benefits of criminal justice reform.

In December 2015, Obama commuted Mills' life sentence, and he was released from prison in early 2016.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) met with Mills in 2016. ..."

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's Funding Scheme Unconstitutional

The CFPB seems to be an excellent example of how the U.S. Congress can totally screw up things by creating such a monster!

The path to hell is paved with good intentions! The terrible President Obama failed to veto the horrible Dodd-Frank Act, but he e.g. vetoed the Key Stone pipeline like the demented and senile 46th President and his then Vice President opposed the Key Stone pipeline!

"The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is “completely off the separation of powers books.”

So wrote the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit in a decision last week holding that the bureau’s independent funding mechanism was unconstitutional because it violated Congress’ exclusive power to appropriate federal funds.

The decision heralds trouble ahead for this powerful and uniquely problematic federal agency.

The most remarkable feature of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is its unaccountability. Created in 2010 by the Dodd-Frank Act, the bureau acts (in the words of the Supreme Court) “as a mini legislature, prosecutor, and court” in the realm of consumer affairs, while enjoying near total insulation from the traditional political influences felt in every other sphere of government. ..."
