#Trump Plans to Spend $1.4 Billion Keeping the National Guard in D.C. Until 2029

It is VERY galling to read bout all the money that the orange idiot has for wars, vanity projects, #corruption, #selfenrichment but not for himself, but nothing for the American Peiopel

The #Trump sons are part of #investment groups that have poured money into established #government contractors, such as #SpaceX & #Anduril, as well as lesser-known start-ups aspiring to build a new generation of nimble, tech-forward weaponry — from drones to humanoid robots that can either mow a lawn or use deadly force. Most of the firms are in the #defense industry,

As the current admin has made modernizing the tools of warfighting a centerpiece of its #NationalSecurity agenda, funds linked to the #Trump brothers have invested in more than a dozen #defense #tech companies & other firms seeking businesses from the #Pentagon & federal agencies, a WaPo analysis finds, based on public federal contracting databases & news releases as well as data from PitchBook, a VC research database.

President Donald Trump’s sons Donald Trump Jr & Eric Trump have amassed a portfolio of #defense #technology start-ups that are benefiting from new #Pentagon priorities & spending, further entangling the #UnitedStates’ interests & the #Trump family’s financial fortunes in an area with immense stakes for #NationalSecurity.

Trump’s sons are #investing in #defense as the #Trump administration pours money in.

The companies have collectively generated at least $3.2 billion in direct #government business since Donald Trump Jr. & Eric Trump invested.

#KashPatel participated in what govt ofcls described as a “VIP snorkel” around the USS Arizona in an outing coordinated by the military. The sunken battleship entombs >900 sailors & Marines at Pearl Harbor.

The swim, revealed in govt emails obtained by AP, comes to light amid criticism over Patel’s use of the #FBI plane & his global travel that has blended professional responsibilities with #leisure activities.

When #KashPatel visited Hawaii last summer, the #FBI took pains to note the director was not on vacation, highlighting his walking tour of the bureau’s Honolulu field office & meetings with local law enforcement.

Left out of FBI’s news releases was an exclusive snorkeling excursion that Patel took….

Emily Singer wrote about Trump's new slush fund: "The sheer amount of corruption happening in front of our eyes that Republicans will do nothing to stop is disgusting."

“It seems like that would be the best thing that could happen,” #Trump said in an exchange with reporters when asked about pressing for the ouster of the Islamic clerical rule in #Iran. “For 47 years, they’ve been talking & talking & talking.” [dude… if ANYONE has been “talking & talking” it’s your dumbass verbal diarrhea.]

#Trump said Friday that a change in #power in #Iran “would be the best thing that could happen” as the “US” admin weighs whether to take #military action against #Iran.

Trump made the comments shortly after visiting with #troops in #FortBragg, #NorthCarolina, & after he confirmed earlier in the day that he’s deploying a second #AircraftCarrier group to the #MiddleEast for “potential” military action against Iran.

“The #president and his appointees are restructuring the #government to make #corruption easy, lucrative, and unpunishable, and to destroy impartial, accountable government. #Self-enrichment and #anti-system goals go hand in hand” www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/t...

The Corruption Is the Point

Prospects of #Saudi ties to #Israel elusive as #Trump seeks $1 trillion bonanza

When Trump lands in #Riyadh on Tues, he will be greeted w/opulent ceremonies, gilded palaces & the prospect of $1 trillion in investments. But, the raging #war in #Gaza has denied him one goal he has long craved: Saudi-Israel normalization.

The by conservatives so called "#DeepState" in the #USA is apparently the #state itself.

Like, you know, bureaucracy, checks n balances, rule of law, that sort of stuff.

And that is now replaced by open #Corruption & #SelfEnrichment of a ruling "elite" in EVERY ASPECT OF SOCIETY.

Americans will look up to places like Somalia as lighthouses of righteousness.

The report, which is based on #TrumpInternationalHotel room records from Sept 2017 & Aug 2018, argues that #Trump violated the #Constitution’s foreign & domestic #emoluments clauses, which were designed to prevent the president & other ofcls from #SelfEnrichment at #taxpayer expense.

The #House #Democrats’ report cites several previously undisclosed instances in which the hotel charged the #SecretService rates that were not only above normal govt per diem rates but above rates it charged others

During #Trump’s presidency, his DC hotel charged the US #SecretService 300% or more above standard government rates on multiple occasions, & at times charged the government agency more than it did other patrons — including a Chinese business & members of a foreign royal family, acc/to a new report released Friday by #Democrats on the #House #Oversight Cmte.

Florida's taxpayers wouldn't know about wannabe-sun king Con DeSantis's travel expenses, if it weren't for Tennessee's Open Records Request option.

"Seven agents from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), traveling in four different SUVs apparently rented by the state at our expense, squired DeSantis to a small campaign event in Tennessee on Tuesday."

Why wouldn't Floridians know as should be normal? Because his majesty ConDeSanting made his personal "lawmakers" enact a law, that declares all his travel records — even retroactively — to be secret.
Fraudulent Unfreedom of Information à la DeSantis & his parliamentary accomplices, to the disadvantage of Florida's taxpayers.

@Savvyhomestead Let's have a guess: Automatically recurring campaign contributions, copying the Trump-scheme?

IMO, if passed, this bill will decrease sales of #EVs. The #TaxCredit is a buyer #incentive. This limits buyers to specific makes/models. I’m for #AmericanMade, but as a #CoalBaron w/financial ties to #oil & #gas, #JoeManchin’s bill isn’t about American made/sourced components, but #SelfEnrichment.
