Three Things I Learned… November 17

“May your hope always outweigh your doubt Until this old world finally punches you out” Todd Snider

1. Aaron Parnas reports: “Growing numbers of U.S. military personnel are seeking outside legal advice about the legality of Trump-ordered missions including lethal strikes on alleged drug-trafficking boats with little publicly released evidence and politically contested National Guard deployments to U.S. cities, amid concerns about pressures within the chain of command, possible violations of U.S. and international law, and the limits of DOJ-asserted immunity. Legal experts warn that while the orders are not clearly unlawful based on available facts, unanswered questions about their legal basis, accountability, and potential exposure to prosecution (domestic or international) are driving officers, especially those involved in planning, to seek independent guidance to avoid unlawful actions and long-term moral injury.” You knew this had to be coming, and it shows the widening cracks in the dam that is keeps magaworld from completely imploding. There was also a memo leaked that showed the entire basis for blowing the boats out of the water (the number the regime has murdered has climbed to over 80) was simply that the felon said they were a cartel. That’s it. The sum of the evidence. Words spilling out of a senile, scared, cruel old man.

2. A ProPublica investigation reveals that “a heavily televised, militarized Chicago immigration raid—ordered by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem as the flagship of “Operation Midway Blitz,” complete with a Black Hawk helicopter, flash-bang grenades, and 300 armed agents—resulted in zero criminal charges, despite DHS touting it as a major bust of Venezuelan “terrorists”; instead, terrified families, children, and even U.S. citizens were zip-tied, injured, or dragged from their homes.” Apparently, ICE has left Chicago for now, but I still hear stories of landscaping crews in the suburbs just disappearing. None of this should happen in America. It is not fake news. It is happening.

3. Twenty survivors of Epstein’s assault have written a letter to Marjorie Taylor Greene, expressing their support for her as Donald Trump and those around him publicly attack her. It reads in part, “Marjorie Taylor Greene—thank you for standing up against the intimidation, silencing, and abuse that Epstein survivors have endured for decades.” “We are not here to create more conflict or wars. We are here to end the cycle of abuse, expose the truth, and demand justice—no matter who it implicates.” The letter ends “Release. The. Files.” It is good to see Marjorie agreeing with people who live in the real world. It is always heartening to see someone leave the cult.

A bonus just for fun (and because it shows the depths of their hypocrisy. Autopen, anyone? The Justice Department quietly replaced several Nov. 7 pardons after observers noticed they featured identical copies of Trump’s signature, prompting questions about autopen use; officials blamed a “technical error,” insisted Trump personally signed all pardons, and defended their validity amid renewed political clashes over presidential signatures and clemency practices. Please laugh out loud. This deserves it, as it comes on the heels of the felon demanding that Biden’s pardons be negated because they used, yes, an autopen! Autopens, as you know, are almost as scary as Jewish space lasers. And it shows (as does everything they say and do) that it is all projection. Everything they accuse others of is simply confessing to the crimes they have committed.
