Meanwhile, down the street

A scarecrow with a jagged stiched mouth holds a flickering lamb, and a green ghost lurks in the background, in front of a porch wrapped in orange string lights.

“What I heard from the secretary was: ‘We have the right & w impunity, to be as aggressive w military policing tactics that we want to use, & we don’t care if it upsets people, & we don’t care if it creates more tension & more problems for your city,’” Kotek said.

“They literally don’t care.”

“I thought we could have a, you know, reasonable conversation,” Kotek said, speaking of her mindset going into her Tuesday meeting with Noem when the cabinet member arrived in Portland. “But, you know, it’s hard to have a rational conversation with irrational people.”

I am thrilled to report that this is very much we do. hagiography can be weirdly passive-aggressive!

there’s a lot of

“she is frequently depicted beside an image of [thing she canonically hated]”

or

“he is traditionally shown holding a [the thing that killed him]”

Donald Trump was found to be in "exceptional health" in a medical evaluation, the U.S. president's doctor said in a memo released by the White House on Friday, with his "cardiac age" 14 years younger than in "chronological age."

Meanwhile Pete Hegseth thinks the wars of the future will be a soldier beauty pageant and pushup contest. Ignoring the actual ways in which war is being fought, right now, in Ukrane, Gaza, and across worldwide computer networks.

Nah, we're good with it. CCC 751.

Catholic definitions for heresy, apostasy, & schism. ⤵️

Can. 751 Heresy is the obstinate denial or obstinate doubt after the reception of baptism of some truth which is to be believed by divine and Catholic faith; apostasy is the total repudiation of the Christian faith; schism is the refusal of submission to the Supreme Pontiff or of communion with the members of the Church subject to him.

The Catholic Church requires bishops to submit their resignation to the Pope when they turn 75 and the Pope chooses whether to accept it or not and as much as I hate having to hand anything to the Catholic Church, they are kinda on to something

Court administrators refuse to fix it. They keep citing a project with my old org, 18F, way back in 2021. We recommended they start building immediately! Instead the have been "approaching the development and implementation phase" for 4-5 years, building nothing. And lacking proper security.

Recognizing the need to leverage outside expertise in the development of our ITinitiatives, the AO has used many of the recommendations made by the General ServicesAdministration’s 18F organization in 2021 in our preparations for modernizing CM/ECF.Although in your letter you state, “[w]hile the judiciary has solicited advice from leadinggovernment experts on establishing a modern, secure and efficient case management system, thejudiciary thus far has ignored that advice and has made no meaningful progress towards areplacement,” this is simply not the case.The AO remains at work in modernizing CM/ECF to bring it in line with currenttechnology practices. Substantial planning for the modernization effort began in 2022, and weare now approaching the development and implementation phase of the project. We expectimplementation will begin in the next two years in a modular and iterative manner. For the pastfew years we have been analyzing and developing operations standards while testing technicalcomponents. The AO is centralizing the operation and data standards for the system to allow amore secure environment and to ensure local rules and procedures are accommodated.

Did you know that the federal court system is hacked by the Russians? To the point that the courts are afraid to put documents into their own computer systems.

Exclusive: Chief Justice “Stonewalls Congress" on PACER Hack, Senator Says

The Courts sidestep a congressional request for independent review. Post-hack procedures have significantly reduced transparency in the judicial system.

Trump announces he's putting a bajillion percent tariff on China

It has just been learned that China has taken an extraordinarily aggressive position on Trade in sending an extremely hostile letter to the World, stating that they were going to, effective November 1st, 2025, impose large scale Export Controls on virtually every product they make, and some not even made by them. This affects ALL Countries, without exception, and was obviously a plan devised by them years ago. It is absolutely unheard of in International Trade, and a moral disgrace in dealing with other Nations.

Based on the fact that China has taken this unprecedented position, and speaking only for the U.S.A., and not other Nations who were similarly threatened, starting November 1st, 2025 (or sooner, depending on any further actions or changes taken by China), the United States of America will impose a Tariff of 100% on China, over and above any Tariff that they are currently paying. Also on November 1st, we will impose Export Controls on any and all critical software.

It is impossible to believe that China would have taken such an action, but they have, and the rest is History. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
