something to chew on regarding the midterms.

I have long stated (since he was reinstalled by elon musks software) that we will either not have midterms or they will be so fucked up, that chaos will ensue.

all so the orange asshole won't get impeached (and hopefully imprisoned)

but chew on this, if after the dust settles and "if" the repukes still maintain the house and senate due to rampant and very obvious criminality, we will be then a nation under occupation by a hostile force.

and if that's not broadcast far and wide and at the loudest setting possible, then we got the leader we deserve.

my fear is this...

right now it's the orange pedo and his room full of psychopaths against Iran.

I fear an another nation will say, "you know what? fuck it, we are on Irans side in this illegal war"

as much as everything is in chaos and out of control, we are on a razors edge of things going south really quickly.

Council item could allow Austin Police to cite drivers for noisy vehicles

https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/council-item-could-allow-austin-police-to-cite-drivers-for-noisy-vehicles/

AUSTIN (KXAN) — City council members on Thursday will consider amending city code to let police officers cite motorists for loud engine noise, especially in residential areas.

Item 38 on the council’s agenda asks council members to “Approve an ordinance amending Chapter 12-1 (Traffic Regulation and Administration) of the City Code to add a new section relating to vehicle engine noise; and creating an offense.”

This was prompted by “numerous complaints of loud and excessive noise emanating from motor vehicles—most often motorcycles—negatively impacting the quality of life of Austin residents,” according to city document. APD said it worked with the City Attorney’s Office to draft the amended City Code language.

APD said residents report the same people that cause loud engine noises are also often seen speeding or “performing other hazardous driving behaviors” on roads like RM 2222.
The change would allow police to cite for “unreasonable noise,” which would be a Class C misdemeanor violation.

According to the draft ordinance, officers would have to consider multiple factors, including the following:

the intensity (sound pressure) of the noise or vibration;
whether the nature of the noise or vibration is usual or unusual;
the volume and intensity of the background noise or vibration, if any;
the proximity of the noise or vibration to residences;
the time of day when the noise or vibration occurs;
the duration of the noise or vibration; and
whether the noise or vibration is recurrent, intermittent, or consistent
The draft ordinance defines excessive noise like this:

“A vehicle engine noise or vibration is presumed to be loud or disturbing and offensive to a person of ordinary sensibilities in violation of this section if the noise exceeds a decibel level of 85 after the person making the noise receives notice from a peace officer that the noise is a public nuisance.”

Point of no return: a hellish 'hothouse Earth' getting closer, scientists say

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/feb/11/point-of-no-return-hothouse-earth-global-heating-climate-tipping-points

>snip<
At just 1.3C of global heating in recent years, extreme weather is already taking lives and destroying livelihoods across the globe. At 3-4C, “the economy and society will cease to function as we know it”, scientists said last week, but a hothouse Earth would be even more fiery.

The public and politicians were largely unaware of the risk of passing the point of no return, the researchers said. The group said they were issuing their warning because while rapid and immediate cuts to fossil fuel burning were challenging, reversing course was likely to be impossible once on the path to a hothouse Earth, even if emissions were eventually slashed.

It was difficult to predict when climate tipping points would be triggered, making precaution vital, said Dr Christopher Wolf, a scientist at Terrestrial Ecosystems Research Associates in the US. Wolf is a member of a study team that includes Prof Johan Rockström at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany and Prof Hans Joachim Schellnhuber at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in Austria.

“Crossing even some of the thresholds could commit the planet to a hothouse trajectory,” said Wolf. “Policymakers and the public remain largely unaware of the risks posed by what would effectively be a point-of-no-return transition.

Vegas 'biological lab' linked to illegal Chinese operation in California

(just came across this, I haven't seen it posted on DU. if it's a dupe, I'll remove it)

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/vegas-biological-lab-linked-to-illegal-chinese-operation-in-california/ar-AA1VvyML

A possible biological laboratory discovered in a Las Vegas home on Saturday may be connected to an illegal medical lab previously found in California that contained infectious agents including HIV and malaria, according to investigators.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and FBI executed a search warrant at a home on Sugar Springs Drive early Saturday morning, where they discovered what authorities described as a "possible biological laboratory" containing "refrigerators with vials containing unknown liquids," according to The Hill.

Sheriff Kevin McMahill called the investigation "extremely complex" during a Saturday news conference, noting that one suspect was taken into custody. The sheriff assured residents this was an isolated incident with no threat to the public.

"This has to be a slow and methodical process by design," McMahill said. "We have to take these situations very seriously, and we take all necessary precautions to keep our personnel and community safe."

Greene: MAGA 'was all a lie'

(from my local rag, it appears that the original source is the hill)

https://www.kxan.com/top-stories/greene-maga-was-all-a-lie/?tbref=hp

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said President Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again slogan was a “lie,” saying his first year back in office was focused on obliging wealthy supporters.

“I think people are realizing it was all a lie. It was a big lie for the people. What MAGA is really serving in this administration, who they’re serving, is their big donors,” Greene said in a Wednesday interview with radio personality Kim Iversen.

“The big, big donors that donated all the money and continue to donate to the president’s PACs and donate to the 250th anniversary and are donating to the big ballroom,” she added.

The former Georgia representative recently resigned from Congress, after airing concerns over the future of health care premiums and the war in Gaza, citing fractures within the GOP and falling out with Trump and MAGA, despite years of loyal support for the president.

Trump Reveals Sinister New Plot to Game Elections

(And here we are. I was talking about just this last week and got dog piled.)

https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-reveals-sinister-new-plot-to-game-elections

President Donald Trump has urged Republicans to seize control of elections and place voting under federal authority, in one of his most explicit signs yet that he wants to game the system.

In a podcast interview with Dan Bongino, his former FBI deputy director, Trump suggested Republicans should “nationalize” elections around the country by taking over the way ballots are cast and counted.

“The Republicans should say, we want to take over,” he said, claiming without evidence that people were being “brought to our country to vote, and they vote illegally.”

“We should take over the voting, the voting in at least many, 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.”

The president’s comments came less than a week after the FBI raided an elections office outside Atlanta, seizing ballots and other voting records from the 2020 election in Georgia.

Feds allege $3.4 billion Medicare fraud scheme tied to Russian citizen living in Austin

(3.4 billion by a Russian crook and not a peep in the national news)


https://www.kxan.com/investigations/feds-allege-3-4-billion-medicare-fraud-scheme-tied-to-russian-citizen-living-in-austin/

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Federal authorities say a Texas man helped orchestrate a health care fraud scheme that billed Medicare billions of dollars for medical equipment such as orthotic braces, glucose monitors, urinary catheters and wound dressings that patients often did not need and, in many cases, never received, according to a U.S. District Court criminal complaint uncovered by KXAN investigators.

Nika Machutadze, a Russian citizen who was living in Austin, is charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering tied to the alleged fraud, which involved two durable medical equipment companies operating in Florida and Texas.

The federal court records do not identify the Florida-based company, however KXAN found Florida Secretary of State records show one business associated with Machutadze named Sunshine Senior Solutions, LLC.

According to the affidavit, one of the companies submitted claims to Medicare for more than 1.6 million items billed to over 220,000 beneficiaries nationwide, resulting in $3.33 billion in Medicare charges. Investigators say Medicare processed approximately $1.78 billion of those claims as paid before suspending reimbursements.
