Good morning!

Trump should have no say in how elections are run. He can spout opinions all he wants.
And I first registered to vote in 1968. It was my first opportunity.

Add another country in turmoil. (mostly posted elsewhere, but so appropriate)

Was anyone planning on investing in Nigerian dollar bonds? Now’s your time, they’ve plummeted in value.

…by U.S. President Donald Trump threatened military action against the country.

Full headline

  • Nigeria’s dollar bonds saw significant declines following a statement by U.S. President Donald Trump about potential military action and suspension of aid to Nigeria.
  • Trump cited Nigeria’s alleged inadequacy in addressing the killings of Christians as the basis for his comments.
  • Nigerian President Bola Tinubu refuted these statements, emphasising the country’s ongoing efforts to ensure religious freedom.
  • The economic ramifications for Nigeria, which is recovering from tight monetary policies, include risks to trade, financial aid, and bilateral agreements.

And of course, not a shred of proof for any of his claims.

He’s not threatening anything over “religious freedom.” He wants to target Muslims with the Alien Enemies Act and get involved in colonizing Africa.

Trying to “Bondi” himself into the current admin?

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier’s demand that murder charges be dropped in an alleged Orlando road rage shooting, a case of political intervention in the justice system so unusual it was criticized by both prosecutors and defense attorneys, led to a plea deal Thursday on a lesser charge and a shorter sentence.

So! They’re gaming! I mean aren’t they supposed to be out there pumping iron, running around turning over tractor tires, shootin’ an’ fussin’ and larnin’ to be God’s war fightin’ warriors!?

A computer game-style drone attack system has gone “viral” among Ukrainian military units and is being extended to reconnaissance, artillery and logistics operations, the nation’s first deputy prime minister, Mykhailo Fedorov, has told the Guardian.

Drone teams competing for points under the “Army of Drones Bonus System” killed or wounded 18,000 Russian soldiers in September, with 400 drone units now taking part in the competition, up from 95 in August, Ukrainian officials said.

The system, which launched more than a year ago, rewards soldiers who achieve strikes with points that can be exchanged to buy more weapons in an “Amazon-for-war” online store called Brave1 filled with more than 100 different drones, autonomous vehicles and other drone war material. It has a leaderboard topped by teams with names such as Achilles and Phoenix.

Ok, first thoughts on clicking on the article:

  • Just stop with the daily pix of Dear Leader’s ugly mug. If you want to refer to Trump, show a photo of the demolition of the White House. We need to see that visible, tangible desecration every day, over and over.

So now I’m going to actually read the MM… Thank you for your attention to this matter ™
