In life, we are each afforded a few extraordinary moments, that leave an indelible imprint on our hearts. Christmas Eve, was such a time for me.
On its own, this present from my granddaughter moved me greatly. ...but it was the consideration behind it that made me sob.
What a gift of wonder it has been to watch her grow and flourish into a beautiful, thoughtful, young adult. I am so grateful for her and so thankful for this extraordinary, ordinary life.
Stella Parton, Dolly's sister, says she had to correct her vote 3 times at Nashville's Hermitage Library because it "kept defaulting to Marsha Blackburn." Two Williamson County voters told WSMV the same thing.
Tennessee's Secretary of State has 1 formal complaint out of about 400,000 early ballots. Every voter who reported it caught it before casting.
Donna and I already voted early on similar machines. No problems. Check your selection screen, the review screen and the paper record before you hit cast. Early voting runs through Oct 29. @timburchett is on top of it.
ILHAN OMAR: HOW PASSPORT FRAUD MAY BE ANOTHER AVENUE FOR PROSECUTION
Seasoned federal investigators know passport fraud may be another path to criminal charges.
18 U.S.C. § 1542 (False Statement in Application)
- Prohibits making any false statement in a passport application, using a passport obtained via false statements, or using a passport with an assumed/false name to hide criminal behavior
The 10-year statute of limitations on passport fraud is reset every time the individual renews their passport if the underlying application records, such as a Social Security Number, were obtained through fraud.
For example, the suspect lied about the true date and place of their birth to obtain a social security number.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS: AMERICAN TERRORIST
This legal strategy was used to obtain a holding charge for the American terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki after 9/11.
Anwar al-Awlaki was a dual U.S.-Yemeni citizen.
The radical cleric, who became a top al Qaeda leader, was born in Las Cruces, New Mexico, where his parents lived at the time.
He later grew up in Yemen.
When it was time for college, Awlaki gamed the system.
He applied for tuition assistance through the State Department and USAID to finance his studies at Colorado State University.
Awlaki was not eligible for financial support as a U.S. citizen, so he used his Yemeni passport (and false claims about his birthplace) to secure roughly $20,000 in scholarship money.
It was the beginning of the big grift.
When the Joint Terrorism Task Force investigated Awlaki after 9/11 for his relationship and material support of hijackers in San Diego and Virginia, a seasoned federal investigator ran down the scholarship scam.
Unfortunately, the statute of limitations had run out on the USAID tuition fraud.
A State Department Diplomatic Security Agent then discovered Awlaki made false statements to secure a J-1 visa (a non-immigrant visa for educational purposes.)
Once in the U.S., Awlaki applied for a Social Security Number, falsely claiming he was born in Yemen.
Awlaki used the fraudulently obtained Social Security Number to fraudulently obtain a U.S. passport.
The 10-year statute of limitations reset every time the American terrorist renewed his passport.

I am a woman who had a double mastectomy and doesnt have breasts, as well as high testosterone from hormonal imbalance. I used to believe I was trans.
The only people to tell me that I am not feminine enough or not a real woman are people on the left. TERFs see me as a woman.
We heard your speech. That's not what you said. You said freshly graduated kids should be scared of working in conservative politics because you and your friends would consider prosecuting them if you regain power.
You're not the victim here.
BREAKING: Monroe Public Schools in Michigan just voted 4-2 to PASS a new policy BANNING males from invading female sports and locker rooms.
HUGE WIN!
Every school district must follow!
Boys DO NOT belong in girls' sports.
I live in a small town. A really small town. We don’t even have a major grocery store. Just a mom and pop one. It’s the kind of town that by 8 pm everything is closed and nothing but the gas stations and the pharmacy are open on Sunday and Monday.
During the Biden admin we were over run by immigrants. They were put in housing, given cash, free health care, there were “groups” of teens walking the streets at night and our schools were over run. They were also the rudest people I’ve ever run into.
They are gone. There are houses for rent again, the one apt place we have has openings, our schools are functioning again, there’s no groups of people roaming our streets during the night….its back to being a small town.
I do not want them back. I will be forever grateful to Trump for getting them out.
Does today feel a little off?
Well it should!

IMPORTANT DEADLINE: I don't usually post personal news, but this is a pivotal week for research that reduces the risk of organ rejection in children.
I know firsthand because our family was part of the original study which developed Pleximmune.
Without comparable reimbursement @CMSGov transplant specialists say this test and a related test for kidney transplant recipients will not be financially sustainable.
Families, like ours, may lose, what researchers say is the only FDA approved early warning test for organ rejection in children.
Please consider a note to your senator, and let them know to escalate the matter at Medicare
@drozcms has done important work on heart transplant and understands the issues.

📚🚨 The book UNELECTED is finally out - order it today if you haven't! 🇺🇸
There'll be more Democracy Files drops today - but as it happens, today is launch day for my book UNELECTED. It is a coincidence that I stumbled into an archive of these ex-USAID officials less than a week before the book's release. The UNELECTED is about how and why a massive global network of NGOs came to dominate our everyday American policies.
And crucially, UNELECTED ends in a whitepill that shows us the way out of this mess.
UNELECTED is a joint collaboration between @JoshuaLisec and myself. I started this effort because my own doxxing happened during the Tesla Takedown protests, while I was in the process of being recruited by DOGE. DOGE employees were having their life made miserable, and I had to take my own children and flee out of state.
While researching who organized and financed the protests, I noticed all the backers were all about democracy. Democratic resilence, strengthening democracy, protecting democracy. I was like ... "wait, why are democracy groups behind this?" DOGE was cutting silly DEI foreign aid awards, it wasn't overturning any elections.
What I came to find was shocking - these silly USAID awards added up to a global regime change machine. "Democracy" has nothing to do with elections. "Democracy," to them, means diffused governance outside of the three branches of our Constitutional Republic via private citizens in the form of NGOs. The network started assembling over a hundred years ago with the founding of Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and has snowballed into a machinery worth trillions of dollars that has sucked taxpayer money, philanthropic money, union dues.
That became UNELECTED.
You've been reading about the coup the past couple of days. UNELECTED shows how and why the coup came to be.
I'm so lucky to have met wonderful people throughout this journey - @petermarocco, "Big Balls" @as400495 , and countless others who sacrificed so much more to right our country.
Vote straight Republican on November 3rd, and buy UNELECTED.
Alaska, vote ✅YES to Ballot Measure 2 to DEFEAT Ranked Choice Voting.
California, vote ✅ YES to Proposition 39 to require election officials to verify US citizenship to vote.
Nevada, vote ✅ YES to Question 7 to require photo ID to vote.
A real question for young right-wing guys:
You don't think it's even a little bit suspicious that one of your top political concerns is, by virtue of your preferred thought leaders, a country with which the United States is allied?
Not an enemy. An ally.
It's weird, though.
Hello Washington Post,
Are these people in the group of 10 officials you mention? Because they're all over my files where they're working with the same ex-USAID officials plotting to rewrite the Constitution.
