Warmonger Lindsey Graham says we'll have "TROOPS ON THE GROUND" ⬆️

[darkmaga-returns]

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., sounds like he’s looking for an administration position.SUBSCRIBE TO THE TRENDS JOURNAL

The AIPAC-funded Republican appeared on pro-Israel Fox News to promote war with Iran — stating that the country has been significantly weakened in recent weeks due to the blows suffered by Hamas and Hezbollah.

“There is an opportunity to hit the Iran nuclear program in a fashion I haven’t seen in decades,” he said, according to The Washington Times. “I think it would be in the world’s interest to decimate the Iranian nuclear threat while we can.”

Graham is a pro-Israel extremist in the U.S. whose position on Israel echoes essentially every Cabinet pick by President Donald Trump.

Graham’s comments came a day after Abbas Araghchi, the Iranian foreign minister, told Al Jazeera that a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities by Israel or the U.S. would thrust the region into an all-out war.

He said Iran would respond decisively.

Graham’s support for Israel has resulted at times in disorientation.

He was interviewed — again on Fox News in October — when thousands of Americans on the East Coast were dealing with the impact of Hurricane Helene and told the network that Israel should be on their mind.

“I've been going all over South Carolina, and like most people, I haven't slept much… but look what's going on in Israel,” he said awkwardly. “Our friends in Israel are surrounded by people who want to kill them… destroy them… a second Holocaust in the making, and [U.S. President Joe] Biden says, ‘Be proportional.’ What is the proportional response to people who want to kill you and your family. They're running out of ammunition in Israel. We have to help our friends to keep the war over there from coming here.”

Graham has also repeated the Israeli talking point that it should be allowed to kill as many Palestinians as it wants because of how the U.S. conducted WWII.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Following a change in the Senate's informal dress code, aging senators were excited to show up to work Monday in their hospital gowns.

"This is awkward," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnel said when he noticed dozens of senators wearing the same exact thing. "One of us has got to change."

Officially, loosening the Senate's informal dress code was motivated by a need to accommodate Sen John Fetterman's famous hoodie and sweatpants. However, sources confirm Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer had an ulterior motive — he prefers the comfort and convenience of a hospital gown.

"I wear the gown under my normal clothes so I can change into them quickly. Like a superhero," Schumer said. "But now I can drop the facade and just be me. It's loose-fitting so you can have easy access to my backside to administer vaccines, suppositories, and other medications. It's great!"

Bernie Sanders confirmed that the new dress code allows him to live a truth he previously hid from the world. "The gown is open in the back. It's very breezy, which I like," he said. "Ooooo, I feel it now."

Sen Lindsey Graham, however, bucked the hospital gown trend by dressing in drag. "It's time for Lindsey Graham 3.0!" he said. "Fabuloooouuuus!"

At publishing time, the policy had been quickly reversed after Rand Paul showed up in his buffalo hat.

Why CBS News' Segment on Those Poor, Lazy, and Corrupt USAID Workers Was Beyond Hilarious

We really don’t care, Margaret.  

You knew this segment was coming, and the fact that CBS News’s Margaret Brennan

took the bait is even more delicious. She’s become a soft version of Jim Acosta and is willing to take the abuse. She has been owned by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Vice President JD Vance, and Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL) since the start of the second Trump presidency, all on live television. And now, this unintentionally hilarious bit on the beleaguered USAID workers, most of whom will be out of a job today. 

Donald Trump ordered Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency to trim the fat in DC, and they’re doing it with ruthless efficiency. USAID didn’t survive its audit, as most of its functions will be absorbed into the State Department. Its overseas missions will be shut down on Friday, with most of its workers getting a pink slip. The Democrats’ lucrative slush fund will be shut down. Yet, CBS News acted as if these people were living under the Taliban, blurring their faces and obscuring their audio as if they were undercover Mossad agents or in the Federal Witness Protection Program.  

And no, enough with the ‘we deliver aid to poor nations, seed, and other goods’ narrative. You guys subsidized the liberal media establishment, pushed DEI trash projects, and might have been part of the Trump impeachment attempt in 2019 since USAID reportedly had deep ties to the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, where this soon-to-be-defunct agency had vast sway over personnel hires and agenda setting. Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project had a report that was cited numerous times in the CIA whistleblower report that led to the Trump impeachment effort over Ukraine. 

The game is over. The gravy train has stopped. Welcome to life, federal workers. We don’t care that you’re going to be fired. And the deafening silence that will be met when these coddled masses get their pink slip (and nine months’ severance) is precisely why no one cared about January 6. Most see DC as a snake pit.

Exclusive: How the New U.S. Bill to Regulate Crypto Assets Could Affect the Entire Industry?

A number of US senators have introduced new legislation aimed at combating money laundering using digital assets. According to the normative document, it is assumed that service providers will be equated to the category of financial institutions. At the same time, they undertake to report to the tax authorities about payments exceeding $10,000. Experts told our editorial staff about how this could affect the entire crypto industry. Polygant CEO Stanislav Chernukhin stressed that the pressure from regulators on the digital asset segment in the US is growing. Indeed, Senators Elizabeth Warren and Roger Marshall introduced a bill to combat money laundering in cryptocurrencies, with Joe Manchin and Lindsey Graham being co-sponsors. It is noteworthy that the Chamber of Digital Commerce is critical of this initiative. Experts fear that this will slow down the development of innovations in the country, as well as lead to a drain of qualified personnel. According to Stanislav Chernukhin, the pressure of regulators will continue, however, the crypto-currency sector demonstrates outstanding stability. According to the CEO of the International PR agency PRETO BUSINESS Victoria Ustimenko, any adequate regulation will only be a plus. The current bill is an attempt to take total control of the digital asset segment, which is in many ways similar to the securities market. Controlling taxation and tightening KYC rules is a positive trend. The only thing to be wary of in any jurisdiction is a total ban on digital assets and criminal prosecution of specialized service providers. Dmitry Noskov, an expert at the StormGain crypto exchange, concluded that this bill could have a serious impact if it is passed. In part, it will be a blow to the entire crypto segment, as regulators are already exerting serious pressure. And here the problem is that against the background of the ratification of this initiative, digital currencies will lose their basic advantage - the anonymity of transactions. It is possible that against this background, cryptocurrency startups will have more motivation to leave the US jurisdiction. XIVE Client Relations Director Vitalia Makeeva positively assesses the current situation. She stressed that the key goal of the bill is to hinder the activities of criminals as much as possible. And in the future, all countries that have taken the path of legalizing digital assets will face this. It is not worth expecting total pressure on the cryptocurrency industry against the background of the adoption of this regulatory act, since it will have legal force only in the United States. Artur Usmanov, CEO of First Block labs, shares a similar opinion. The expert noted that the American sector is already heavily regulated. Accordingly, the new bill will not have a particularly strong impact on the digital asset segment in the United States. Now, a strong driver for growth can be the approval of applications for the creation of spot crypto funds. But even without this, the liquidity of the digital asset market is highly likely to grow next year against the backdrop of the upcoming halving. The CEO of Business Planning Experts LLC suggests that the bill could have a significant impact on the entire cryptocurrency sector, as it will increase financial transparency. However, it is worth considering the concerns of many crypto enthusiasts who believe that the bill will jeopardize the confidentiality and security of financial data. At the same time, they by their nature do not fit into the fundamental concept of digital assets. It is now clear that the confrontation between innovation and regulation reflects the vast tensions associated with rapidly advancing financial technology. Read the full article

Who Are North Atlantic Terrorist Organization’s (NATO's) Biggest Spenders and How Much Bang Do They Get for Their Buck?

US dollars — Sputnik International. © Sputnik/Mihail Kutusov/Go to the mediabank

The Western alliance's defense expenditures top those of all of their major adversaries, and the world, combined. Which members of the bloc spend the most? And does higher spending actually make NATO’s armies more efficient? Sputnik breaks things down.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization received a major morale boost and cash infusion after provoking Russia into a proxy war in Ukraine, with French President Emmanuel Macron suggesting recently that Moscow had helped revive the "brain-dead" alliance, and US President Joe Biden boasting that while Russia had hoped for “the Finlandization of NATO, [it] got the NATOization of Finland – and Sweden" instead.

The alliance is spending over $1.3 trillion on defense in 2023, up from $1.2 trillion in 2022.

The uptick in the bloc’s expenditures goes back long before the escalation in Ukraine in 2022, with the alliance tasking all members with spending two percent or more of their GDP on defense at its 2014 summit in Wales following the Euromaidan coup in Kiev and the outbreak of hostilities in Donbass.

NATO consistently spends many times more on the military than its top adversaries.

For example, Russia, which is fighting in a proxy conflict against the entire Western bloc as the latter pumps Kiev up with tens of billions of dollars in weapons, has laid out about five trillion rubles, or $56.6 billion US, for defense in 2023. China, which surpassed the US economy in GDP by purchasing power in 2020, and faces regular provocations from Washington in the South China Sea and Taiwan, is spending 1.55 trillion yuan (about $224 billion) on defense in the current year.

Who is North Atlantic Terrorist Organization’s (NATO’s) Biggest Spender?

As you may have guessed, the United States has by far the biggest military spending footprint in the Western alliance, dedicating $877 billion, about three percent or GDP or 12 percent of all US federal spending, to defense.

US defense spending has increased every year since 2015 following a five-year post-Iraq and US economic crisis-related dip, with spending trending upward for decades after the 1948 low of $9 billion (about $153.7 billion adjusted for inflation).

Congress recently reached a landmark debt limit deal which caps defense spending at $886 billion for fiscal year 2024. But lawmakers from both parties have already begun brainstorming workarounds to spend more, such as using "emergency supplementals" for Ukraine for other Pentagon priorities. A recent independent audit of the money the US has spent in Ukraine over the past year conducted by the Grayzone confirmed the ease with which "money for Ukraine" can be diverted for other things, such as cash for foreign think tanks, media, and even private equity firms.

Efforts by a small handful of conservative Republicans such as Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Green, Paul Gosar, and Rand Paul to rein in defense spending have put the lawmakers on a collision course with hawks in their own party. Last week, Senator Lindsey Graham accused the MAGA wing of the GOP of "sinking" the US Navy by cutting funds to build new ships, and complained that there was "not a penny in [the budget] deal" to keep the Ukraine proxy war going.

Who are the Top Three?

Second after the US in terms of total spending is the UK, which laid out the equivalent of $68.5 billion for defense in 2023, and has pledged to increase spending another $6 billion over the next two years, even as the country balances on the brink of a recession, and faces a cost of living crisis unprecedented since the 1970s.

Germany is NATO's third-biggest spender, committing about $54.5 billion to defense in 2023, and planning a hike of up to $10.9 billion (to €60 billion total) in 2024. Germany, which is already in a recession, has suffered arguably the greatest losses among European countries as a consequence of the NATO-Russia standoff, losing a source of cheap Russian energy and resources to fuel its hungry industrial economy, and facing a terrorist attack against the Nord Stream pipelines by its own allies.

And the Top 10?

Next are France, Italy, Poland, Canada, the Netherlands, Turkiye, and Spain, which spent the equivalent of $42.8 billion, $30.3 billion, $22.5 billion, $21.4 billion, $18.1 billion, $15.9 billion, and $13.1 billion on defense this year, respectively. Virtually all of these nations have pledged further hikes, citing foreign threats, as well as commitments to NATO.

France, which has faced months of protests related to government plans to raise the pension age, and which is now in flames after the police shooting of a teen outside Paris, has far and away the most ambitious defense spending plans, with President Macron sending a $438 billion military budget plan to parliament this spring for the years 2024-2030.

More Expensive = Better?

Sir Humphrey Appleby: "If you walked into a nuclear missile showroom you would buy Trident. It’s lovely, it’s elegant, it’s beautiful. It is quite simply the best. And Britain should have the best. In the world of the nuclear missile it is the Saville Row suit, the Rolls Royce Corniche, the Chateau Lafitte 1945. It is the nuclear missile Harrods would sell you. What more can I say?"

Jim Hacker: "Only that it costs 15 billion pounds and we don't need it."

Sir Humphrey Appleby: "Well you can say that about anything at Harrods!"

These words, written over 37 years ago for the hit BBC television series Yes, Prime Minister, remain as relevant as ever when it comes to Western countries' perceptions of defense, where money seems to equal better capabilities.

"When it comes to these figures and numbers, we are an effective alliance and we have effective armies, but the cost level is much higher, reflecting just a higher standard of living," NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg said in 2019 while trying to explain why the bloc was continuing to raise defense spending even after outlays had reached over 20 times Russia’s.

"If you compare salaries and costs across NATO allies and Russia, of course [NATO’s] cost levels are higher. And therefore, when you compare these budgets at market prices, and common currencies, then you get those conclusions you are referring to, but that doesn't reflect less efficiency," Stoltenberg assured.

Other observers have different explanations, including an overabundance of well-compensated senior officers like generals and admirals, exceedingly generous outlays for procurement and supply (like the famous $20.2 billion per year price tag on air conditioning during US operations in Iraq and Afghanistan), and mindboggling sums spent on prestige projects, like the Lockheed Martin F-35 fighter jet, which has a projected lifetime cost of over $1.7 trillion, and counting. The same can be said of the US’ half-a-dozen or so multi-billion-dollar hypersonic missile projects, which have yet to enter service, even as Russia, China, and Iran have all successfully unveiled similar weapons.

What Does NATO Get for Its Money?

The alliance has demonstrated that it can use its air power to pound smaller, militarily weaker countries into submission – case in point Yugoslavia in 1999 or Muammar Gaddafi's Libya in 2011. Yet when it comes to putting boots on the ground and keeping them there, the alliance has had far less success, with the $2+ trillion the US and its allies spent in Afghanistan between 2001 and 2021 failing to prevent the country’s government and NATO-trained army from collapsing in mere months after the US announced its withdrawal.

But perhaps that’s the point, as now-imprisoned WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said back in 2011.

"Because the goal is not to completely subjugate Afghanistan. The goal is to use Afghanistan to wash money out of the tax bases of the United States, out of the tax bases of European countries through Afghanistan and back into the hands of the transnational security elite. That is the goal. I.e. the goal is to have an endless war, not a successful war." Julian Assange — Imprisoned WikiLeaks founder, outside a London court, January 13, 2020.

In the interest of sharing positive political trends, I’ve seen a couple in the past 24 hours. And neither of them relate to Lindsey Graham being subpoenaed by PA atty, although I am celebrating this development as well.

In PA, prominent state GOP influencers have backed Josh Shapiro, the Democratic candidate and current AG, rejecting the radical right wing MAGAt nominee.

In GA, polls are showing Warnock 10 pts ahead of Walker for US Senate. Go Georgia!

I’ve expressed recently that good, sincere humans will step up during this time. Many see gloom and doom, instead I chose to see progress and potential.

Why would we not expect a faction of the Republican Party to denounce the crazy and finally say Enough!

Team Normal has a cowardly rally cry but I’ll take their support for now to get us out of chaos and back to the complexity zone where we can find common ground again.

[lesbiancosimaniehaus]

Also something I hate is when Lindsey Graham starts trending on Twitter for saying something predictably detached from morality and reality, and “Lady G” and his gay rumors also start trending because gotcha libs and democrats can’t ever think of anything better than weaponizing homophobia (or misogyny or racism or what have you) when it’s against someone they don’t like. Idk if I was convinced of my ethical and moral integrity and of my policy positions I simply wouldn’t try to humiliate some loser for allegedly liking gay sex especially when it’s against his whole moral philosophy

The Trump Depression: The Economy Does Better Under the Democrats

One of the rare occasions when DJT has told the truth. 

Trump and his Republican Party mouthpieces and right wing disinformation outlets continue to state that Trump inherited “a mess”, a “broken economy”. That of course is far from the truth. You can’t believe anything they say, you can’t trust them, they intentionally and maliciously deceive the public.

Donald Trump was just bragging about the 33% GDP increase. NOT SO FAST!

That is still 10% below the Q1 level after the 31.4% drop in Q2. And even farther below the Q4 2019 level. The reason for the 33% gain from a 31.4% loss is due to the stimulus pumped into the economy from the Cares Act that Nancy Pelosi worked so hard on getting. Because Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) left the current stimulus bills passed by the House floundering, the Q4 figures aren't going to be so rosy.In September, the unemployment rate declined by 0.5 percentage point to 7.9 percent, and the number of unemployed persons fell by 1.0 million to 12.6 million In September, the number of permanent job losers increased by 345,000 to 3.8 million

On October 26, 2020 The Brookings Institution, Nonresident Senior Fellow for Economic Studies, Jay Shambaugh published a piece giving us a sneak-peek at what the Trump administration would be touting when the 3rd quarter GDP figures came out. https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up-front/2020/10/26/dont-let-flashy-3rd-quarter-gdp-growth-fool-you-the-economy-is-still-in-a-big-hole/

And sure enough, Director of National Economic Council Larry Kudlow went on the morning news networks to tout the record breaking GDP growth, and blowing the same smoke he did in July.

October 29, 2020 | US GDP surged a record 33% in the 3rd quarter as the economy reopened, roughly double the next-biggest jump. Great news right? Well, not so fast. "Still, the 33% increase doesn't offset the prior quarter's decline. Experts have said a full recovery may take years, as the pace of GDP growth is set to moderate significantly in the last three months of 2020." https://www.businessinsider.com/us-q3-gdp-record-growth-economic-reopening-recession-coronavirus-pandemic-2020-10

Just like the Unemployment rates and the Stock Market trends were inherited by Trump from Obama, so was the GDP.

Trump has repeatedly pointed to the nation's steady economic health as the strongest indicator of his success, calling it "terrific" and "the greatest in the history of the country." January. A closer look at the Trump economy reveals a mixed picture.

Here are some historic charts showing the Unemployment Rate historical data, Non-farm payroll job growth 2001-2019 and S&P, NASDAQ, and Dow Jones Industrial Average historical performance data.

As you can clearly see, the Unemployment rates have steadily dropped since 2010.

President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden took the U.S. out of what was dubbed the “Great Recession”; the biggest economic downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930′s.

Trump inherited a gradually declining unemployment rate. It had nothing to do with him, it was due to industry and the private sector. It has been infrastructure week since Feb or March of 2017, and still nothing except what had been already planned and budgeted for years before he got into office. The same thing with the coal jobs he claims to have created. Coal leases were issued while Obama was in office. And since Trump's claim for all those coal mining jobs more than 3x that have been lost. The same thing with Carrier. He claims to have saved their jobs and after he was elected, by a minority of votes, many went to Mexico anyway. The one thing that he did that had a temporary fix was put the tariffs on imported steel from China (which he used in his projects). But he did it in a political stunt manner and then started an illegal trade war with the rest of the world. Farmers lost buyers to other countries and many of them simply went broke and suicides were up. Prices for imported parts used in manufacturing resulted in dramatic price increases in consumer goods. He told you that Mexico and China were paying for those tariffs, some of you believed him, while you were paying for the increases.

The main things he is extremely successful at is lying, deceiving and conning - He plays his marks well.
