The US is preparing for war against domestic enemy.
The U.S. House of Representatives just voted 266–148 to repeal Washington, D.C.’s Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022, which allowed non‑U.S. citizens, including potentially illegal immigrants and foreign agents, to cast ballots in local elections.
Led by Rep. August Pfluger (R‑TX), the vote drew support from 56 Democrats, proving GOP fears that D.C.’s progressive experiment threatens the sanctity of American elections.

The bill—H.R. 884—not only strips this expanded voting bedrock but also delivers a crippling blow to the District’s autonomy by reversing reforms aimed at limiting police union powers.
In a 235–178 side vote, lawmakers restored collective bargaining rights for the D.C. Police Union—an unmistakable signal that law enforcement trumps local sovereignty.
The US is preparing for war against domestic enemy.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - US President Donald Trump believes that the protests in Los Angeles have been financed and organized by professionals, vowing that the Department of Justice will track down the mastermind.
The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Right—CHIRLA—is one of the key players in fomenting the violent response to immigration enforcement actions. It’s an LA-based nonprofit with a history of taking radical positions on immigration; for example, it led a 2018 campaign to abolish ICE. It currently leads the Los Angeles Rapid Response Network, which gathers intel about enforcement actions and deploys activists to respond. CHIRLA has strong ties to the Democrat Party in California and has supported the election of Democratic candidates through its lobbying arm. It has a particularly close relationship with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. The organization also has a close relationship with organized labor in the state, which in turn is a major financial supporter of Democrat politicians. On Friday, amid rising tensions, CHIRLA held a rally protesting ICE’s enforcement actions and the arrest of SEIU President David Huerta for obstruction. The incredible part is that CHIRLA’s activities are primarily funded by California taxpayers. I obtained a financial audit that shows that for the fiscal year ending June 2023, it received $34 million from the state, mostly through the Department of Social Services, accounting for 72% of its total revenue. This was nearly a three-fold increase over the previous year. CHIRLA also received a $450,000 federal contract in 2023, which Mayor Bass publicly took credit for helping secure. DHS froze funding in February, which prompted a lawsuit from CHIRLA. DHA then canceled the contract, and the lawsuit was then dismissed. Eisenhower warned of the military-industrial complex—now we face a nonprofit-industrial complex.

Trump and Rubio stumble on steps up to Air Force One
More exposure happening, courtesy Glenn Greenwald!Absolutely more exposure and focus on this threat needs to happen as it's easily getting lost among all the other chaotic actions currently under way!
Journalist Glenn Greenwald angrily lashed out at his political enemies after a sex tape showing him in a compromising position spread on social media.
NEW: President Trump says an executive order is potentially coming, allowing some illegal immigrants to stay in the country so farmers don't run out of workers."Our farmers are being hurt badly. They have very good workers.""They've worked for them for 20 years. They're not citizens, but they've turned out to be great. We're going to have to do something about that.""We can't take farmers and take all their people and send them back because they don't have maybe what they're supposed to have...""We're going to have an order on that pretty soon. We can't do that to our farmers..."

A palantír ([paˈlanˌtiːr]; pl. palantíri) is one of several indestructible crystal balls from J. R. R. Tolkien's epic-fantasy novel The Lord of the Rings.
A single palantír enabled its user to see places far off, or events in the past. A person could look into a palantír to communicate with anyone looking into another palantír. They could then see "visions of the things in the mind" of the person looking into the other stone.
Even one as powerful as Sauron could not make the palantírs "lie", or create false images; the most he could do was to selectively display truthful images to create a false impression in the viewer's mind. In The Lord of the Rings, three such uses of the stones are described, and in each case, a true image is shown, but the viewer draws a false conclusion from the facts.
Joseph Pearce compares Sauron's use of the seeing stones to "broadcast propaganda and sow the seeds of despair among his enemies" with the communications technologies used to spread propaganda in the Second World War and then the Cold War, when Tolkien was writing.
The Tolkien scholar Jane Chance writes that Saruman's sin, in Christian terms, is to seek Godlike knowledge by gazing in a short-sighted way into the Orthanc palantír in the hope of rivalling Sauron. She quotes Tolkien's description in The Two Towers, which states that Saruman explored "all those arts and subtle devices, for which he forsook his former wisdom". She explains that he is in this way giving up actual wisdom for "mere knowledge", imagining the arts were his own but in fact coming from Sauron. This prideful self-aggrandisement leads to his fall. She notes that it is ironic in this context that palantír means "far-sighted"
An astronomical telescope at the Lowell Observatory, using a main mirror with spherical curvature, has the acronym PALANTIR. This stands for Precision Array of Large-Aperture New Telescopes for Image Reconstruction, and is meant to reference the "far-seeing stones in [The] Lord of the Rings".
The software data-collection company Palantir Technologies was named by its founder, Peter Thiel, after Tolkien's seeing stones.

Palantir's logo encapsulates the company's focus on data intelligence and innovation, featuring a minimalist black orb balanced on two leaf-like supports. Evoking the mythical Palantir seeing stone from Tolkien's lore, the design symbolizes the company's mission to harness complex data for powerful insights.
Palantir has also been reported to be working with various U.S. police departments, for example accepting a contract in 2013 to help the Northern California Regional Intelligence Center build a controversial license plates database for California. In 2012 New Orleans Police Department partnered with Palantir to create a predictive policing program.
You gotta love it when these dystopian psychopaths wrap their monstrous projects in righteous rhetoric!Thiel said Palantir was a "mission-oriented company" which could apply software similar to PayPal's fraud recognition systems to "reduce terrorism while preserving civil liberties."
Headquartered in Palo Alto, California, the company initially struggled to find investors. The only early investments were $2 million from the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency's venture capital arm In-Q-Tel, and $30 million from Thiel himself and his venture capital firm, Founders Fund.
Palantir developed its technology by computer scientists and analysts from intelligence agencies over three years, through pilots facilitated by In-Q-Tel.
On June 18, 2010, Vice President Joe Biden and Office of Management and Budget Director Peter Orszag held a press conference at the White House announcing the success of fighting fraud in the stimulus by the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board (RATB). Biden credited the success to the software, Palantir, being deployed by the federal government. He announced that the capability will be deployed at other government agencies, starting with Medicare and Medicaid.
U.S. military intelligence used the Palantir product to improve their ability to predict locations of improvised explosive devices in its war in Afghanistan.
Palantir Metropolis (formerly known as Palantir Finance) was software for data integration, information management and quantitative analytics. The software connects to commercial, proprietary and public data sets and discovers trends, relationships and anomalies, including predictive analytics. Aided by 120 "forward-deployed engineers" of Palantir during 2009, Peter Cavicchia III of JPMorgan used Metropolis to monitor employee communications and alert the insider threat team when an employee showed any signs of potential disgruntlement: the insider alert team would further scrutinize the employee and possibly conduct physical surveillance after hours with bank security personnel. The Metropolis team used emails, download activity, browser histories, and GPS locations from JPMorgan owned smartphones and their transcripts of digitally recorded phone conversations to search, aggregate, sort, and analyze this information for any specific keywords, phrases, and patterns of behavior.

Someone needs to do a health check on Air Force One’s stairsNot impossible considering this:
Lumps in Trump's Pants Revive Health Concerns as Speculation of 'Leg Braces' Grows Days After Tumbling Up Stairs
"It's why he never wears shorts anymore," one user claimed
The latest theory circulating online about President Donald Trump's health suggests he may be wearing leg braces, based on a photo taken just days after he stumbled while ascending the steps of Air Force One.
An X post shared Monday by the popular account PatriotTakes asked, "What's going on here?" and included a series of photos showing what appeared to be hard creases and lines on both of the president's pant legs.
Meanwhile, some users also speculated the lines might indicate the presence of a catheter.
The conjecture emerged days after Trump was filmed stumbling up the stairs of the Air Force One, a misstep for which former President Joe Biden was frequently criticized by MAGA supporters. In Trump's case, however, many of his own supporters were quick to defend him, emphasizing that the White House doctor gave him a clean bill of health in April.
For now, the mystery of the president's pant creases remains unresolved.
In light of the recent "riots" in LA.
Later on, met with criticism, Loomer doubled down on her call to unleash Palantir against the rioters:“Time to deploy @PalantirTech to Los Angeles to deal with the illegals. You know you’d love to see it.”
“Do you really think we are going to mass deport 65 million people without advanced technology? Are you that naive?”
