As I sit here in Europe listening to this, all I can think about is how incredibly worrying and depressing it is to watch this situation unfold as we sit here helplessly waiting for a resolution.

If these traitors aren't stopped our nation will slowly become the property of Russia.

It was a Russian envoy that proposed that there should be a tunnel between Russia and Alaska.

Summary:

Tunnel would link Russia's Chukotka region and Alaska

Envoy says it could be built in less than eight years

He suggests a company owned by Elon Musk could build it

Idea comes as Putin and Trump prepare for new summit.

MOSCOW, Oct 17 (Reuters) - Russia and the United States should build a "Putin-Trump" rail tunnel under the Bering Strait to link their countries, unlock joint exploration of natural resources and "symbolise unity", a Kremlin envoy has suggested.

Just what we need. A way for Russia to being able to come to our shores, reclaim land that was once part of Russia, and as he is doing now, pushing forward to claim more land for "mother Russia. He has a willing tool in trump, who asks how high when Putin tells him to jump.

Russia on US soil would threaten Canada and eventually the lower forty-eight of our nation.

Rick, I listen to you and Elephant In The Room. I do enjoy it a lot. One thing that you mention occasionally is to your MAGA listeners. I am intrigued and wonder about the number of MAGA listeners you have. I am not MAGA by any stretch, but I love knowing that we may be listening to the same thing. It gives me hope. 😎

There is only one position that Russia must take. Get out of Ukraine or be destroyed, give back the 10 thousand kids kidnapped & give 700 Billion for reparations for reconstruction of Ukraine..

Absolutely. Why in hell should Ukraine have to give up anything? Russia invaded them and needs to pay the price. This whole ring of oligarchs and

want -to- be oligarchs needs to be taken out. Jared belongs in jail ( with the rest of the family) for his out of control grifting and questionable alliances. Witkoff is an anti-American traitor selling us out for $.

Thank you, Rick, for another session to keep me going and somewhat sane. I usually see the truth, though others around me may not or deny it. This essay supported my thoughts and was beautifully written and presented, as always. It revealed such gut wrenching and absolutely sickening behavior. I know it's out there! I look forward to our country climbing out of this muck. It will happen. Thank you for being there!

Please elevate the latest grift from the shitgibbon in the oval office…

OPM blunders orchestrated by Trump are going to cost federal retirees, who receive a pension/annuity…

Trump is extorting tax dollars from federal retirees. The annual COLA increase for TY2026 is scheduled to pay out in January 2026 (as always).

The grift…

Trump added the increase on the OPM site to the final annuity payment for December 2025, but annuitants were NOT paid the additional funds on the December 2025 payment. So, you will pay taxes on money you DID NOT receive in TY2025; and your 1099R for TY2025 will be incorrect.

If you login to your OPM account, you will find the annuity check direct deposited into your account on December 1, 2025, is LESS THAN the amount documented in the payment summary on the OPM Retirement Services website.

Meaning…the 1099R for TY2025 is incorrect and could possibly push the retiree into a higher tax bracket on money, NOT received. This blatant error ensures that each annuitant pays more taxes on money they did NOT receive at the end 2025.

If you call OPM 1 (888) 767-6738, the automated number advises you of the high call volume and promptly hangs up in your face. You may opt to send a message in the online portal, but you only get 200 characters to explain the problem and you do NOT receive confirmation (as you did in the past) that your inquiry was received.

Recommendation: Exhaust all avenues to contact OPM if you are a government retiree and contact your congressman.

The below email address is another way to contact OPM:

retire@opm.gov

Or contact via USPS Mail:

Retirement Operations Center

U.S. Office of Personnel Management

Post Office Box 45

Boyers, PA 16017

This SOB is unbelievable, but the other SOBs you can thank the most is Vought, The Heritage Foundation and all the billionaires that created Project 2025.

This is a well thought out clusterfuck. 🤬

Just observing that Jared Kushner is looking more goulash lately as he’s being shown on some news. He appears to becoming remarkably similar to Stephen Miller, the same facial expression and pasty white face, almost grayish as if their heart beats have slowed down to just a blip on occasion to at least keep them upright. It’s kind of creepy when you look at them both..

Witkoff is a NY real estate developer who is similar to his buddy. Grift and con get the money and as much coin as possible. His conflicts of interest are unbelievable from him advocated for the UAE's access to advanced AI chips while his family's company (World Liberty) was landing crypto investments from UAE-linked entities, potentially violating ethics rules, despite receiving a White House waiver. He’s leveraged his direct access to the Trump White House to facilitate deals for Middle Eastern partners, and now this deal with Russia selling out Ukraine. He’s slime and so are his sons. They hang with JR and Eric.

Rubio well let’s just say “little-Marco” has carved out his own path to enter that backside orifice and little-Marco has more mud on his face as well as his nose.

If you're looking for a Kushner doppelganger, look no further than Reinhard Heydrich. So unyieldingly cruel, he scared the shit out of the entire 3rd Reich boys, incl Hitler

As for Little Marco, R-Potemkin, an empty suit, always has been and always will be

I'd like to think he's ending his career, but who the F knows what lies ahead
