America Is Now an Ally of Russia – rascott.com

Thank God! Russia hasn't been our enemy for decades. The corrupt CIA made them a bogeyman because it's pretty hard to trample on people's rights when you've got nobody to blame as an enemy. They pushed NATO right up onto Putin's borders despite an agreement not to and started using Ukraine for human trafficking and illegal bioweapons labs.


It is about time that the US and Russia stand up to their common enemy and that is the globalists. Time to take down the one-world- government crowd. Bunch of narcissists who weren't even elected for anything but want to run the world.
 
BREAKING: Donald Trump's Social Security Administration just pulled off the BIGGEST Social Security number cleanup in HISTORY, fixing nearly 15% of all active SSNs, MILLIONS included faulty citizenship status

The citizenship fixes came from running records through DHS's SAVE database

- 8.5 MILLION more with WRONG citizenship status being corrected now
- 17 MILLION missing dates of death added
- 25 MILLION records with missing citizenship info updated.

If only they had contented themselves with reporting the news instead of agreeing to be the propaganda lackies of the globalists. Oh, well. They will either stop lying and misrepresenting or they will continue to lose lawsuits. :dontknow:




JUST IN: BBC News is cutting more than 100 more JOBS as the taxpayer-funded network bleeds cash

This is the SAME BBC whose news chief resigned after they doctored President Trump's Jan. 6 speech

It's part of a 500M cost-cutting drive that could wipe out up to 2,000 BBC jobs, nearly one in ten staff.

Do you think the “timing” of this “cleanup” of the Social Security numbers is just a coincidence, two weeks out from the midterms?

“The Social Security Number database is our country’s books and records. The database’s accuracy is essential to maintaining integrity of government services for citizens," Bisignano added. "Accurate SSN records prevent fraud across federal programs and support the proper administration of benefits."

The “October Surprise” is the coming mass reveal of two things.

FRAUD.

We’ve only gotten a “taste” of the amount of FRAUD and STOLEN taxpayers money.
A lot more arrests are coming.

And don’t forget this.

About 99% of newborn American citizens apply for a Social Security number soon after birth.

There’s a reason that California and many blue states are fighting in court to prevent handing over their voter registration rolls and using privacy concerns about Social Security numbers as the excuse.

“Super Intelligence” can make quick work of figuring out, who submitted their voter registration using a Social Security number and who didn’t.

“Super Intelligence” can make quick work of which Social Security numbers are valid and which ones aren’t.

“Super Intelligence” can also isolate the citizens from “potential” noncitizens very easily.

But here’s another thing.

I am certain that California has a lot of dead people still on their voting registration rolls.
“Super Intelligence” will quickly determine that number too, but it will ALSO quickly determine how many Californians have moved out of state over the last decade or more, but are still on California voting rolls.

I’m sure that’s likely millions of people.

It’s all about the voter registrations.

The democrats inflate the numbers and keep them inflated, in order to hide the true vote count and steal elections with fake ballots.

Trump is now squeezing them in every direction, right before the midterms for a reason.

This is “America first.”

How Trump’s FBI Purge Saved Lindsey Graham and James Clyburn From a Bribery Investigation​

This story is Part 2 in a series. Read Part 1 here.

Reporting Highlights​

  • Pay for Play: A Hawaiian naval firm filled South Carolina politicians’ campaign coffers with cash and won federal contracts in the state.
  • Big Players: Lindsey Graham and James Clyburn, two major forces in South Carolina, helped steer federal money to Navatek.
  • Questionable Merit: The contracts’ effectiveness was dubious. “The whole thing is a grand lie,” said the former CEO.
These highlights were written by the reporters and editors who worked on this story.

On March 3, 2020, Sen. Lindsey Graham walked into a private dining room at Charlie Palmer Steak in Washington, D.C. Graham’s time was expensive. He was meeting with two executives and a lobbyist from a Hawaiian naval defense contractor called Navatek. And he had required them to commit to $40,000 in campaign contributions for a 45-minute meeting.

Navatek’s CEO, Martin Kao, was confident that was all the time he needed.

How Trump’s FBI Purge Saved Lindsey Graham and James Clyburn From a Bribery Investigation

An FBI anti-corruption team launched an investigation into whether South Carolina’s most powerful members of Congress were involved in a bribery scheme, ProPublica found. After Trump gutted the FBI and DOJ, the investigation went dark.

The nuclear threat is roaring back, thanks in part to Trump​

It's hard to feel good about the prospects for humanity when someone tells you there's a 40 percent chance, more or less, that AI bots will kill us all before the Yankees can win another championship. Nonetheless, some experts in Washington find hope in the history of nuclear arms. It's easy to forget now that for a half century during the Cold War, Americans lived every day with odds of extinction that felt well above four in ten. But the worst did not come to pass, and policymakers are seizing on this as a model. Most recently, Ro Khanna, a Silicon Valley congressman and Democratic presidential hopeful, has called for an international AI treaty with inspections among countries, modeled explicitly after the nuclear arms deals that kept Americans and Soviets from killing each other.

Even the most hopeful proponents of a Cold-War framework for AI will admit that the comparison is imperfect. After all, humans had control over nuclear arsenals; the missiles were never going to launch themselves. And for most of the 20th century, there was very little danger that some non-state terrorist group was going to build its own nuke - whereas every teenager in the world has access to Claude Code. These trifling points aside, though, I worry about the Cold War analogy for an entirely different reason: it assumes that the threat from nuclear weapons is a bygone chapter in our history, successfully concluded. That strikes me as dangerously naive, because while everyone is suddenly fixated on what could happen when rogue agents hack into water supplies, the specter of nuclear confrontation has been quietly creeping back toward terrifying plausibility.

An overnight fire engulfed Eagle's Nest, a historic Nazi-era site once used by Adolf Hitler in Germany's Bavarian Alps. Firefighters faced difficult conditions battling the flames at the mountaintop location, while one suspect has been taken into temporary custody. Police are looking into whether this is a potential case of arson. We speak to historian Sven Keller of the Obersalzberg Documentation Center about the site's historical significance, why it was preserved, and how Germany deals with landmarks associated with its Nazi past.

Billionaires stave off the pitchforks with payouts to one kid at a time​

The world’s richest people have discovered a new way to give their money away: a couple hundred bucks to one kid at a time.

Elon Musk this week pledged to give millions of American children their own individual shares of his SpaceX company. That $150 or so would join donations from Michael and Susan Dell, Ray Dalio and other billionaires seeding kids’ investment accounts through a Trump Accounts program gaining steam as a new form of philanthropy.

“In many ways, this is our IPO moment, where Google was in 2005,” said tech investor Brad Gerstner, who conceived of the program six years ago, sold it to the White House and has overseen its rollout, in an interview.

Norway joins the list of countries Trump has abused in vulgar terms​

PORT HURON, Michigan, Oct 25 (Reuters) - US President Donald Trump on Sunday escalated his invective against Norway, calling it a "shit house country" and ‌saying Norwegian immigrants were not welcome in the United States because the Nobel committee, based in the capital Oslo, had not awarded him a Peace Prize.

Americans hate tipping. So why haven’t they stopped?​

I am a recovering people-pleaser, though I admit most of the recovering still takes place in private. I rehearse difficult conversations for weeks — on walks by the lake, in the shower, in the mirror — before actually having them. I’ve let subscriptions renew rather than endure the discomfort of calling to cancel. I once managed to pay extra for one of the worst haircuts of my life. And then there was the onyx. At a metaphysical shop, a cashier with impeccable black nails and at least six rings that looked like they had their own elaborate backstories silently turned a touchscreen toward me. It asked whether I’d like to leave a tip. Now, I’d never considered the etiquette of tipping for a rock, but something about the setting made pressing “No Tip” feel like tempting fate. I selected 15%, unwilling to risk the karmic consequences.

'Stain on the country': Trump criticises Norway over Nobel Peace Prize​

US President Donald Trump has once again made complaints that he did not receive the Nobel Peace Prize, calling this year's decision "disgraceful and embarrassing".

The prize was awarded to former International Criminal Court judge Navi Pillay on Friday. Hours after the announcement, Donald Trump told a rally he had "never heard" of the "mystery person".

"This is an indelible stain on the country of Norway" he said, adding "we will not forget".

Trump has been outspoken about his desire to win the prize, and made similar criticisms in 2025 when it was awarded to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado.

Inside Why Trump Playing Golf Endangers Millions

Congress is pushing once again to make Daylight Saving Time permanent under the Sunshine Protection Act, but history and science tell a dangerous story.
In 1974, Richard Nixon signed permanent Daylight Saving Time into law—only for Congress to swiftly repeal it after public outcry and fatal morning school commutes.
Thom Hartmann exposes the multi-billion-dollar lobbying efforts behind shifting the clocks, why the golf industry stands to make hundreds of millions at the expense of our health, and what sleep scientists and chronobiologists warn happens when morning sunlight is stripped away.

Judge tosses unsigned charges filed in cases against ex-FBI agents in Hunter Biden probe​

Oct. 27 (UPI) -- A federal judge on Tuesday tossed new obstruction charges the Justice Department filed against two former FBI agents accused of lying to Congress about an investigation into Hunter Biden.

Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia expressed anger at the federal prosecutors who filed the superseding complaint shortly after midnight Tuesday, CBS News reported. The complaints were unsworn and unsigned.

Doug Casey's Take

Oct 28, 2026 Doug Casey's Take
Doug Casey joins Matt Smith from New Orleans to talk about the accelerating collapse of Western civilization. Doug says things have become so complex, top-heavy and corrupt that "there's a good chance we're actually gonna go over the precipice," and compares the moment to the collapse of the Bronze Age and the fall of Rome. They discuss the riots spreading across France and Europe, why inclusivity has replaced merit, and why Doug says we live in a fascist society, not a capitalist one. Doug walks through his list of what makes Western civilization unique, from free thought and free speech to property rights and the rule of law. Then the UK and Japan's 3-day emergency warnings, the leaked Pentagon plan for bases to run on their own for 90 days, how fragile the grid is, AI-found exploits, a possible Iran attack after the midterms, Brazil, and how to make your own household more resilient.
