How Jeffery Goldberg got onto the Signal chat
It was just an error. An embarrassing error where a saved contact had sent Waltz a text with Goldberg phone number. Goldberg had sent a query to the RNC or Trump campaign,then Waltz was tasked to respond . He didn't,but the number got added to his existing contact without his knowledge. Hughes the contact was supposed to be on the chat group.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/06/signal-group-chat-leak-how-it-happened

Goldberg should have exited the chat , but he lurked looking for the opportune time to take down Hegseth in particular. Traitorous over glorified liberal nutjob.

I never pretended to be a coder

A workstation has a max of 128gb of ram. My thinkpad has 4 ram slots

It has 4 drive bays

It originally shipped with a 512 nvme drive and 16gb of ram

Today it has a 1tb nvme, 512gb nvme 2 2tb hdds and 40gb of ram. I may make this 48gb so I will have dual channel mode ram running.

I bought the device for performance, so that I can run multiple apps concurrently

Many didn't even know what they was protesting about
These are the ones funding leftists to smash up Tesla cars and shops
Buses preloaded with signs.
Lots of Muslims and masked Antifa bused. Masks are camouflage not for stopping the spread.
They were allowed to take alcohol in the buses.

There were some flyers paying $40 an hour to protesters. I'll post it later

These are paid protests. Someone on X has the geo-locations of phone numbers registered via his apps .A lot of these protesters also showed up at most Kamala Harris rallies.

😡The protesters Loomer Unleashed caught on video getting dropped off in BUSSES today were given signs as soon as they got off the busses. The bright red signs say “SOCIALISM BEATS FASCISM”.

Notice there is a heavy ISLAMIC😡 presence at these protests.

I feel you don't know that globalism is the idea that events in one country cannot be separated from those in another and that economic and foreign policy should be planned in an international way.

Would USA stop importing olive oil and coffee?

Will the US dollar stop being the reserve currency of other countries?

Are dump's tariffs not global?
The world is global economically. Politically a group of corporates are trying to be defacto rulers. Live in 15 minute cities , don't eat beef, get COVID passports , EV cars by 2035, Accept every illegal immigrant, hold democrat elections including Libya, Syria, Iraq for example, support Ukraine war efforts.
Politically . Globalism is a big fail The UN has the ability to solve international crisis, including the ones created by globalists.

I don't see how you who benefits from globalisation thinks it has failed. Is it because dump stopped your usaid funding?
USAID funding is not stopped. It's under state department. In any case organizations do annual budgets and get funded . USAID is not the only one and the funds it spends on say studying transgender mice is what's been stopped.
That aside , globalists are running to the hills. They can see their power and theories get dismantles by a gentleman called DJT.

Judge is certainly under investigation for his role in J6 persecution using an act that was reversed by the SCOTUS. As if he didn't know that Obstruction did not apply to the cases he presided over and handed out harsh sentences.

Why this prosecutor apologized in the first case
They should show up in court, flash the middle finger sign and tell judge to go pound sand . Tell Boasberg that their preemptive pardons are already signed.

It's odd that you seem to live such a sheltered life that you think these things are so out of the ordinary that someone would make it up. Or maybe it's just the type of people they profile, that doesn't include u.
Oh okay You sure have do many experiences in life
Ever had a near death experience you might want to share ? Because next time someone describes such you will also barge in with your own version that you experienced.
I hope you can also anticipate what experiences we might be interested that you have gone through in real life or in your imagination..

I have been saying the same for years WEF founder Klaus Schwab has also stepped down past week as it's CEO. The elites meeting at Davis every year to discuss global issues , was just a plot for the billionaires to acquire more power and wealth.

Sometimes when facts are staring at you , the media tells you otherwise.

Texas governor has stopped the construction of a Muslim city running on sharia principles.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/government/texas-gov-greg-abbott-blocks-construction-of-proposed-muslim-city/ar-AA1CjHzh

It's no new idea It's an expansion of a sharia enclave that's been operating with

74 homes—sold only to Muslims affiliated with EPIC
📍 A massive mega-mosque anchoring the enclave
📍 Sharia-adherent Islamic schools enforcing religious doctrine
📍 UIF Corporation offering only Sharia-compliant financial services
📍 A fortress-like home built beside the Plano Police Academy—overlooking SWAT vehicles, bomb trucks, and tactical zones (see maps and photos in article below)
📍 The owner? A senior EPIC leader and co-founder of the controversial Yaqeen Institute—a group that openly advocates Sharia in the West


They was looking to expand to a 400 acre enclave over 1000 homes , mosques,indoctrination centres and who knows,a jihad sniper range?
It's a mystery why particular migrants always strive to build a society identical to the shitholes they left.

The burner phone is smart.

I now have a travel phone with limited apps and carry my my main device in a faraday pouch and have started leaving it in the safe in the hotel. May need the main device for emergency 2FA and when I need to respond to texts from work/people that don't use whatsapp and want to keep the threads consistent.
But if I travel with my main device it defeats the purpose as they can ask for both.

On one of my recent trips to Lagos, I had some security people(about 6) stop our car and try to seize my boys phone (thought he was taking a photo of them). Wanted my driver to pull in somewhere. I told the drive not to move, so they slapped him around some (I felt bad for him). I was adamant they were not getting that phone. It was pretty intense, lasted for about 15 minutes. But, I thought how insane it was that they should think that someone should give them their phone given all the financial info/blackmailable on it. Made me be more cautious about what I have on my phone in Nigeria.
Now, I am in the US, thinking about how to protect my phone while coming back to the US. undecided cry

Investigation by Acting DC Attorney Ed Martin into how the DOJ misapplied the Obstruction of charges with the J6 protesters is expanding.

Judge Boasberg was one of those who used that charge to sentence J6ers to lengthy jail terms. No wonder he is taking on DOJ especially wanting to hold them in contempt over El Salvador flight order. When he is accused , he will say it's a witchhunt. He sent at least 55 to prison and loudly commented that every person who went into the Capitol deserved jail time .

Adam Schiff also sought to block Ed Martin confirmation this week. If there is questioning, Schiff is high among the list.

However he was a gang member and he was granted the withholding right of deportation. He argued the gang in El Salvador would kill him.He was engaged in human trafficking.
Today the gang has been wiped out by Bukele and it's members are safely in the maximum prison he was sent to.

The Virginia one (especially) never stays empty because of the huge traffic of military families in the area looking for long term rentals. If you find the rate you’re looking for and want to invest. Come buy one of my houses.

Oil in 2020 was at zero and went negative on one one day

Saudis fighting fracking maintained it around $40 from 2014 to 2020, then COVID pushed it to $20 and even zero and negative on one day
Of course I agree that the lockdowns disrupted travel especially air.
My point is with frack baby frack the Saudis wanted to shut them down.
Saudi oil I read can be had for $6-15 per barrel but their social justice programs means they have to $25-30 to break even and their population 'sedatef'. Fracking after a lot of innovation can break even at just above that. So we might be seeing a new war.

Questions you should ask from what they put out.
1.) Is that Heard and McDonald territory inhabited by anyone other than penguins?
2.) If no, are the penguins are exporting anything to the US?
3.) If no, why is there a reciprocal 10% tariff on them?

But for some reason, you've taken their bullshit as truth and are assailing anyone who points out the inaccuracies based on what they put out.
Okay smart ass. The formula you displayed had total imports as the denominator, making the tariff infinite if penguins dont import whiskey.
I asked you about UK buying a $120B aircraft carrier, entitling them to export 2.1 million Land Rover Defenders @56K duty free to America. Does the formulae apply or there were a lot of considerations to arrive at a tariff?
