Hey... if the firearms were brought into the United States illegally after 1780, should they be covered?

I seem to recollect that there was an amnesty in the aftermath of the 1968 Act that let anyone register anything (machine gun or destructive device), no questions asked. There were even M16's that had been stolen from the Army registered as MGs, NQA.

Even M60s. Where you would hide that kind of boomstick on the plane back home?

Don't ask, don't tell

From a former SS agent, that Butler didn't have the "B" team, they had the "Z" team. Most of the security were random government employees, including the "lunch lady".

Mexican tent city

Mexico builds temporary shelters to prepare for mass deportations from US

IUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico, Jan 22 (Reuters) - Mexican authorities have begun constructing giant tent shelters in the city of Ciudad Juarez to prepare for a possible influx of Mexicans deported under U.S. President Donald Trump's promised mass deportations.
The temporary shelters in Ciudad Juarez will have the capacity to house thousands of people and should be ready in a matter of days, said municipal official Enrique Licon.
"It's unprecedented," Licon said on Tuesday afternoon, as workers unloaded long metal bracings from tractor trailers parked in the large empty lot yards from the Rio Grande, which separates the city from El Paso, Texas.

Didn't realise he took Bolton's clearance.

CNN President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday revoking the security clearance of 51 former intelligence officials who signed a 2020 letter arguing that emails from a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden carried “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation” and that of his former national security adviser John Bolton.

Didn't realise he took Bolton's clearance.

Yeah, Brennan was pretty butthurt about that.

"But... but no! They misunderstood! That's not what I said! I said it had all of the signs of Russian disinfo! I didn't say it was!"

Sure, the guy had passed the previous 4 years pushing the myth that Trump was a Russia asset, a Kremlin stooge, Putin's bitch, etc...

The Trump administration is preparing an executive order that would halt federal funding, at least temporarily, for a risky and controversial kind of research into viruses that makes the pathogens more dangerous or contagious.

The goal of the order would be to stop scientists with U.S. funding from conducting “gain-of-function” research on viruses that could endanger human health, people familiar with the plans said.

The Obama administration had previously banned doing such research in the US. Faucci bypassed this by granting money to the Ecohealth Aliance for "research" who in turn funded the Wuhan lab. We know how that turned out.

Recently, the 47th President Donald Trump has reiterated his claims that Russia stole the designs for hypersonic missiles from the United States during the Obama administration. This assertion resurfaced in interviews and discussions around January 23-24, 2025.

Federal workers's 'revenge' plot after being forced back to office

Democratic DC mayor Muriel Bowser said she supported Trump's order because it would bring more people to the downtown economy.

The Founding Fathers had no desire or intent to have a large, Federal construct. Most, if not all of these Agenicies, Bureau’s nor Departments are NOT found in the U.S. Constitution. This is one way to begin chipping away at these money pits!
