Trump's proposed "pro-active" FBI unit. Are your views on the list of 'domestic terrorism' indicators?
https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/fbis-new-political-pre-crime-centerPresident Trump's budget request to Congress contains the largest counterterrorism spending increase in years — and buried inside it is a new FBI-led center dedicated to “proactively” hunting Americans the government classifies as so-called domestic terrorists.
Now, Trump’s budget request reveals, the FBI runs a dedicated “NSPM-7 Joint Mission Center”; with personnel from 10 federal agencies, it is busy “proactively” identifying domestic terrorists motivated by any of the following beliefs:
“anti-Americanism,”
“anti-capitalism,”
“anti-Christianity,”
“support for the overthrow of the U.S. Government,”
“extremism on migration,”
extremism on “race,”
extremism on “gender,”
“Hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family,”
Hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on “religion,” and
Hostility towards those who hold traditional views on “morality.”
In other words, if your political views are practically anything other than MAGA, you’re on notice, courtesy of the FBI.
We got a call from the VA today "I'm here from the government and I'm here to help"
I’ve posted over the weekend that my 90+ stepfather had a fall and cuts on his hand/arm on Friday. He’s the first of three generations of Marines. He, Mom ❤️, and I spent the weekend working out getting in and out his chair, getting in bed (a lot of pain), etc.
I’m leaving out location details for privacy.
He’s a Marine. I was a Cav Scout. There’s mutual respect on many others things but we don’t agree on a lot of things ….but there’s Mom ❤️. That’s unanimous.
Everyone from the first responders to neighbors to the hospital filling a pain prescription (that he refused on Friday - stubborn) on Easter Sunday when EVERY other pharmacy was closed to just everyone were great.
Mom got a call this morning at about 9:00 from the VA. A “catch up” call from the weekend.
Tomorrow or Wednesday at home they will have:
A physical therapist
A nurse to address wound dressing, meds, bathing, hydration, etc.
An occupational therapist to go over getting in and out of bed and bath.
— Me: “Occupational therapist. Good. It’s about time this deadbeat got a job” —- He laughed.
A “Home Maker Program” person AT HOME 1-3 times a week.
THEN at 1:00 we got another call. They’ve reviewed the chart and there’s no referral for an Orthopedic Surgeon. My Mom said she’d prefer he not to have to get in a car and travel 90 minutes to the VA center. “No problem, we’ll get this local through the hospital” The same hospital that filled the Rx on Easter.
Community- their bank heard what happened and are going to see about someone coming 1-2 a week so Mom can take a break and get whatever she needs done done.
My spirit is uplifted. He’s doing much better. He can get out of his chair to the walker because ….he’s a Marine…..and Mom ❤️.

Fox News! Reporting LIVE from Tel Aviv! (still at my folks)
This guy has to be in a building 15-20 stories up or, possibly, in a studio with this projected behind him.
I don’t have the time to detail the unreal world I’ve been watching over the last few days.
What we watched last night was 4th and 5tg string Easter Day rosters trying to prove their devotion to the Fox News cause.

MacGyver moment - today. Peroxide, dish soap, vinegar, and Ajax
My elder stepfather had a fall in the garage on Friday. Fractured his hip. The Dr.’s said it was probably better that it was artificial. Thanks to the VA he has lots of artificial joints 4 I think.
So there was some blood to clean up on the concrete floor. He said peroxide which the internets agreed with. I decided to use my complete lack of scientific knowledge in this situation. I added vinegar, dish soap, and some Ajax my mom had under the kitchen sink. Added water in an empty plastic Folgers container. Carried it out to the garage and stepped just outside in the rain and shook it up. The top started to bubble up. I quickly set it on the muni trashcan just outside, closed my eyes, turned my head, and cracked open the other side of the container - a frothy mix shot across the driveway 5-7 feet.
Watching Fox at my folks. Wrapping the pilot rescue with Easter.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: IRAN DEAL COULD BE DONE TOMORROW
They have some pinhead on from Tel Aviv stating Trump’s deadline as the absolute truth. All of the commentators (hosts of other shows) are piling in with that, “President Trump says…..” as if it was the absolute truth and anything even slightly counter is counter to know truth.
'Calling... Epstein Island': Journalists Phoning White House Get Quite the Surprise
I know this was a week ago but I hadn’t heard it until today on NPR’s “Wait wait don’t tell me”
—
Several reporters from The Washington Post’s Style section tasked with dialing up the White House for details on what designer outfit First Lady Melania Trump was wearing on Wednesday found, shockingly, they were calling “Epstein Island” – thanks to the work of an unknown troll.
While the number for the White House switchboard was absolutely correct, the label that appeared on some phones was not, instead referencing the widely used nickname for Little St. James, Jeffrey Epstein’s private Caribbean island, where prosecutors said much of the convicted pedophile’s abuse took place.
The glitch, according to The Post, appeared to only affect Android devices after a manipulated listing briefly attached the name to the White House number via Google’s caller identification system. iPhones, the reporters found, showed no such name.
After the journalists contacted Google, the company confirmed the issue stemmed from a “fake edit” in Google Maps that was “briefly” incorporated into its call-screening feature. Google spokesperson Matthew Flegal told the newspaper that the change violated policy, had been reversed, and that the responsible user was blocked.
