□ [“Rep. Anna Paulina Warns Of ‘Major Purge’ Coming to Capitol Hill"]

She says at least three members could be exposed.  That's less than 1% of Congress so it seems a bit iffy.  I'm not sure there's any way to do this which doesn't just come off as 'going after people we don't like and ignoring the rest.'  But that may just be part of how it goes, we're not supposed to know about any of this.

Hopefully (I keep using that word, don't I?) this is part of the investigations on all the fraud and laundering.  There's a lot of evidence from decades of the uniparty, who's going to crack first?  Who's going to turn on others to save themselves?  It's tough to say you have no clue what your party members were up to when you've been right next to them for many years.

I'm guessing the perverts will be the first to lose.  They may already be trying to negotiate if they can just resign with no bad publicity.  Then there's the people who are interested in perversion and also keeping tons of taxpayer money.  This is where it's going to get depressing because they've had the most protection.  It's a lot easier to just let them continue as normal than to answer why everyone knew and nobody did anything.  And they'll definitely be able to rat on fellow congressmen.

□ [“'Lives a Double Life' – OnlyFans Content Creator Posts Sex Videos with Secret Service Agent"]

I'm skeptical, just for personal reasons.  I have a tendency to perceive these type of agents as almost-mythical creatures even though I'm fully aware that they aren't and are perfectly capable of doing things like this.  The chick is very ugly so if this is true, there's also a question of why anybody would be stupid enough to throw their career away for her.  And if they are that stupid how did they get on the SS?  Officially this guy is one of Biden's guards which is not encouraging.

There's a lot of room for conspiracy theory here.  These agents would have ties to every relevant person in or out of government.  If they get corrupt or perverted, someone has a lot of access to the biggest government secrets.  We always look at politicians or maybe their aids who are into this stuff, maybe bureaucrats, a scandal like this would be explosive.  And it would explain a lot.

□ [“US Seizes Iranian Cargo Ship Trying to Run Strait of Hormuz Blockade"]

Other ships can get through but not Iranians.  Iran's economy was in bad shape before this conflict started so they doing worse now.  It's possible that's why this ship was so desperate to try making it through the blockade.  Now you have one less ship and didn't bother the US in the slightest.

There's also the problems - not yet confirmed - that whatever remains of the Iranian government doesn't know who's in charge.  Yesterday there was a report of an Indian ship going through that was fired at by Iran.  There's audio of the captain complaining, he had permission to go, he's on their list and now they're attacking?  There are several possible reasons for this, my guess is that the people firing on the ship are from a different group than the ones who let it pass and there's no contact between them.

At LAX, an Iranian woman - in the country legally - was arrested for trying to broker for arms, bombs and drones to help Iran.  I'm sure more of this is going on but I doubt much can be done this way.  Without Iran and Venezuela, China must be hurting and now an Indian ship was attacked.  This is a crack in BRICS that nobody could have seen coming.  Yes they'll use whatever assets they have in the US to fight us but although I'm sure they'll cause damage, it just seems like a guaranteed loss for all of them.

□ [“Ilhan Omar Blames ‘Accounting Error’ For Financial Disclosure Showing Her Immense Wealth"]

Her wealth has been public knowledge for months and she only now gets around to denying it?  Still doesn't make her look good, her excuse is that she was too stupid to notice that the numbers listed were in the millions.  Either that or her accountant was that stupid and she just signed whatever she was told.  Why not just say she waited all these months to complain because that's how long it took to hide the money?

This also raises some questions about her husband, the one who's not her brother.  He's supposed to be an investor, in wineries and such.  Yet he hasn't brought in any money after all this time?  If he's just investing five or ten dollars here or there, he's not really an investor, that's a pretend-job.  If he's investing more than that then what happened to it?  You didn't lose anything and you didn't make anything, that's the way it's been for several years?

She'll need to do more than this.  I'm amazed we haven't heard anything about the Somali fraud in Minnesota.  I am certain it's being looked into, by citizens if nothing else.  It's similar to what we'll see in Congress, who's willing to turn on the others to protect themselves.  Omar is a very obvious target from everybody.  Can't recall where but just recently she complained about being attacked by other Somalis, they weren't supporting her nominee or something to that effect, but it came off as tribalism.  That's what you want, that's what you get.
