The DUmpster / Re: Ilhan Omar's Home Raided by Homeland Security
« Last post by ADsOutburst on October 12, 2026, 03:24:50 PM »
Well, let's see. What the most likely explanation for this, Dems?

Is it that Trump randomly decided to harass Ilhan Omar for no good reason, even though she's not of much importance in politics?

Or is it that there's evidence of a possible crime, enough to warrant further investigation?

1. My mother used to say that Eisenhower was the last good Republican

Democrats think that "the last good Republican" was one that, according to Democrats, "looks like a liberal next to today's Republicans"? There's a surprise.

I've heard Democrats say Ronald Reagan was a liberal by today's standards (and yet, today's 'liberals' revile him. Hmmm...).

Trump is doing nothing to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
Oh. destroying their navy, their radar capabilities, their ability to enrich uranium into weapon-levels, cut off their ability to further invest in nukes by killing off their oil revenue.

All they are doing is hanging out in the Strait of Hormuz and doing nothing about the nuclear material.
You are aware that their nuclear "material" is currently under ground. Right?

Please don't pretend that the dems have been consistent over this half-century. You  guys wouldn't dream of having a candidate with JFK's positions today.

NYC loses more than half of pied-a-terre tax appeals, threatening projected revenue pot: ‘Out the window’

https://nypost.com/2026/10/11/us-news/nyc-loses-more-than-half-of-pied-a-terre-tax-appeals/

Quote
More than half of the thousands of homeowners who have already appealed the city’s new pied-à-terre tax have won their cases, threatening the levy’s much ballyhooed revenue potential.

When Big Apple Mayor Zohran Mamdani and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced the controversial tax on luxury second homes — or co-ops worth more than $1 million and houses over $5 million — in the city, they claimed the policy would generate $500 million-plus in revenue.

But the city Department of Finance told The Post that as of Friday morning, exemption applications had hit 10,000, with a whopping 5,700 approved — and the lawsuits and exemption requests are still coming in fast and furiously.

At best, Mandani's projected revenue claims were sourced from someone's rectum and founded on hopes that many/most property owners would be intimidated into paying instead of going through an onerous appeal process.

So the FBI Did Another Big Raid You Might Have Missed...

Did you hear the one about the FBI investigation in the Baltimore City Board of School Commissioners that caught one of them with his hand in the cookie jar of his own nonprofit?
...
Three years ago, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott appointed longtime social worker and behavioral-health entrepreneur Mujahid Muhammad to the city's Board of School Commissioners. His primary organization, KEYS — Keep Encouraging Youth to Succeed — since 2009 purportedly was involved it counseling, youth recreation, senior services, workforce training, and “culinary therapy”—using grocery deliveries and cooking lessons with families needing mental-health support.
...
Project Baltimore reported last week that it "has been digging into KEYS Empowers financials and found that in federal filings, KEYS reports paying out over $400,000 in salaries to zero employees."

Then there's this from the Baltimore Banner: "A nonprofit called KEYS Empowers Inc. that lists the same address as its headquarters and Muhammad as the executive director reported receiving more than $4.7 million in government funds for the 2023 and 2024 tax years, tax filings show. That money made up the entirety of KEYS Empowers revenue for those years."

The raid was part of the Trump administration's "coordinated crackdown on Medicaid fraud across the country," as Fox45 put it.

Fox45 News also reported that City Schools is “in the process of terminating its contractual agreement with KEYS Development," and that while the "FBI has not disclosed the focus of its investigation into Keys Empowers or Muhammad... the nonprofit’s most recent IRS filings do raise some red flags."

A separate Fox45 report found that an "analysis of Medicaid spending data from 2018 to 2024 published by the federal government revealed that KEYS received $32.3 million taxpayer dollars through the program."

That's a lot of cooking lessons for an organization with reportedly zero employees.

My talk with Republican Neighbor

My neighbor who is Republican but claims she didn’t vote for Trump. Her reason for maybe voting for Trump. “Iran can’t get a nuclear weapon.” I explained to her that Trump is doing nothing to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. All they are doing is hanging out in the Strait of Hormuz and doing nothing about the nuclear material. I told her that the military would have to go “boots on the ground” and would require a huge number of troops to invade Iran which we don’t have and would cause many deaths and that Trump is not going to do that. That we would have to enact the draft.

https://www.policymagazine.ca/trumps-boots-on-the-ground-problem-with-iran/

I could tell that she was mulling this over.. We need to publicize this more. There are people believing that Trump is going to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon and that this is all bullshit.

1. By Trumpedo shredding the agreement and attacking Iran all but guarantees that Iran will get a nuke
sooner rather than later, and to top it off, he and Israel have managed to destabilize the ME.

2. The Obama agreement was preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon!
It was Rump who blew up the Obama agreement because he's a racist and couldn't stand a black man getting credit for preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. Now we're paying $6/gallon for diesel and $5 and up/gallon for gas because of Rump and no nuclear agreement.

4. And Iran hasn't fought a ground war since when? A really long time
Maybe 35 years. There's tons of healthy, fit men ready and (now) very willing to fight against Trump's invading forces in Iran right now. No one ever points that out, but you gotta have the numbers. They have them. I don't know that we do. Definitely not fresh troops like what they have, that's for sure.
