There's nothing worse than a stupid, tough guy wannabe. By live streaming the execution, the SecDef is fulfilling the desire of Nidal Malik Hasan to be a martyr on his way to Islamic heaven. Not tough. Simply ignorant.

Election Polls rarely sample a large enough population to be statistically predictive. This "picture in time" may not be la "statistic", maybe not even a good estimate, as the voters enter the voting booth (imho).

Truly an unabashed, transparent act of deep desperation to send $500 to people in "...marquee statewide races in the Nov.3 election."* Most competitive races for Senate and Governor are included. Who's trying to rig (buy?) the elections now?

3.3 mil watched Trump's Convention, 28.4 mil watched the NFL season opening game. Let's see, that's ~12% of those watching both. His claim was for 107 mil. 12% right sounds high to me.

Former Fed Chair Jerome Powell remains in his job. Federal Reserve renovations "...no grounds for criminal referral or evidence of misconduct tied to cost overruns...* Another bogus claim loss for Trump. *Reuters

Yes sir, it's midterm time, and Trump is hoping that a $500 check gives his faltering GOP a win. Think that money came as a refund from a Biden ACA over payment? Think again. So transparent!

"Congress shall make no law...or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." 1st Amendment. Now, what is the Office of Religious Affairs purpose? SecDef likes to quote the Bible a lot. Qur'an, Tao Te Ching...just to mention a few other beliefs. Are these included

The Antideficiency Act* bars agencies from spending money Congress hasn't appropriated. Violations can trigger admin discipline and/or criminal penalties. Sound familiar? DHS money used for Trump's ads? GAO needs to get busy. *Grok

I'd like to know who ghost-wrote Senator Graham's opening statement? But her southern accent is legitimate. But her hearing needs work. Her questions have been addressed...

When a Republican Senator labels Jack Smith as a "dirt bag" in an official oversight review where the Senater presents fraudulent testimony, it speaks volumes how much angst Republicans are dealing with, come the November midterms. The dance continues.

The EAC VVSG 2.0 standard requires voting machines to be incapable of using a wireless network. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other wireless capabilities must be disabled, physically removed, and air-gapped from external networks*. Let's feel better about voting machine security. *Grok

Ok. It starts today. Every possible communication platform must demand that, after the midterms, House Speaker Johnson promise not to fire the clerk before he provides the list of elected Democrats to be seated. Judge Luttig advise.

Most voting machines in the US contain Asian manufactured parts, including China. Voting machines have produced wins for both parties. It is fallacious to accuse a random voting machine of altering the count if the result is not what you want. Just audit them before and after the vote for veracity.

@chrishayss.bsky.social Info for your AI Q&A. No question AI will make changes to the working population. Human innovation has overcome similar challenges. For example, among other advances, the commercial sewing machine introduced new jobs to handle increased production. Can AI make new jobs?

There was a Senate oversight committee hearing from FBI Director Kash Patel this morning. One could characterize the "waste of time" as: Republicans offering praise with Democrat's questions refusing to be answered. KP is seriously mistaken if he thinks he will get away with this charade.

DrTom @drtom44.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
Andrew Weissmann on MS NOW: Kash Patel does not consider himself as a member of the FBI. Referring to FBI agents, "... don't know what they do...", not "...we do...". Can't hide it all.

DrTom @drtom44.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
Kash Patel's main answer is "(previous admin) did it worse than I am doing it". Sounds as if KP is admitting to improprieties. Self accusation!

@jacobsoboroff.bsky.social I have to differ. Anyone betting online only wants their candidate to get more votes (or less votes), not necessarily huge amounts of voters to vote. It doesn't take a lot to be the most.

Interim Senator Graham, speaking as a South Carolina citizen, you are wrong. I (we) worry a lot about the Asian-Pacific corridor: China-US tensions; Taiwan; South China sea disputes; along with all the shipping and supply-chain vulnerabilities. Rookie mistake. Enjoy your short hiatus.
