This seems so stupid I had to look it up to see if this was actually a thing...and it is! https://www.mediaite.com/trump/trump-hosting-j6-awards-gala-at-nj-golf-club-to-honor-capitol-rioters/ Former President Donald Trump will soon host a gala at his golf club in New Jersey to “honor and celebrate” the defendants charged for their involvement in the Capitol riot. A source familiar with the matter told Mediaite Trump will not be attending the gala. The “J6 Awards Gala” will take place Sept. 5 at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, NJ. It will honor the 20 defendants who contributed to Trump’s song “Justice For All” — which features recordings of the prisoners singing the national anthem while the former president recites the Pledge of Allegiance. “Join us for an unforgettable evening as we honor and celebrate the twenty defendants who contributed to the powerful ‘Justice For All’ song, which quickly went Platinum on the Billboard Charts upon its release on March 3, 2023,” the event page reads. “This gala also serves as a crucial fundraiser to provide much-needed assistance to the January 6th defendants who continue to face significant challenges.” On the flyer, Trump is listed as one of three guest speakers at the event. The other two are Rudy Giuliani and Anthony Raimondi.

Yup, walking away https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/4837058-harris-rise-gop-trump-weakness/ Prior to President Biden’s decision to drop out of the 2024 presidential contest, Democrats were heading into their national convention in Chicago with all the joy of a funeral procession. So concerned were party bigwigs about a possible floor challenge to Biden’s renomination, they even floated the possibility of holding a virtual nomination vote nearly a full month ahead of the main event. Now, Vice President Harris’s unexpected rise to the top of the Democratic ticket has done more than just rekindle Democratic enthusiasm ahead of a make-or-break campaign. With over 15,000 journalists on hand, Harris has turned her party’s nominating convention into a must-cover media event unlike any since Barack Obama’s 2008 media frenzy. All that focus on Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, has left the GOP’s Donald Trump and JD Vance feeling the political chill. Trump has been sitting out much of the August campaign season, while Vance struggles with his deepening unpopularity among key swing voters. For the first time in this campaign, the Republican ticket looks weak and directionless. Now some of Trump’s former allies have apparently seen enough. The cracks in Trump’s political dam widened into a steady leak this week after former Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-Va.) announced that she would cast her ballot for Harris in November. “After January 6, after Donald Trump has refused for four years to acknowledge that he lost, and his threats against democracy — I think it’s important to turn the page,” Comstock told CNN over the weekend. Trump isn’t likely to shed any tears over Comstock, who has been a consistent critic since losing her congressional seat in 2018. More concerning is how Trump’s allies on the conservative side and on the far right are increasingly shredding the former president in public, with some going so far as to endorse Harris. Even critics of retired federal appeals court Judge J. Michael Luttig don’t doubt his sterling conservative credentials. The former jurist rose to the federal bench under President George H.W. Bush and remains a leading mind in the conservative legal movement. He’s also endorsing Harris over Trump, making 2024 the first time Luttig has ever cast a ballot for a Democratic candidate. He, too, cites Trump’s unique threats to the democratic order. “There is only one political party and one candidate for the presidency that can claim the mantle of defender and protector of America’s democracy, the Constitution, and the rule of law,” Luttig wrote in a statement. “I will unhesitatingly vote for the Democratic Party’s candidate …Vice President of the United States Kamala Harris.” Then there’s the far right, terminally online influencers who make up the beating heart of the MAGA movement. Those mostly young political movers include figures like neo–Nazi Nick Fuentes, who was once friendly enough with Trump to score a dinner invitation to Mar-a-Lago. Now Fuentes is casting doubt on the former president, saying he predicts a “catastrophic loss” for Trump and the GOP in November. Likewise for long-time Trump ally and right-wing performance artist Laura Loomer, who rose to fame in part by riding Trump’s media coattails. “Have you noticed how weak so many of the Trump surrogates sound on TV?” Loomer asked in a post on X. “Needs to change FAST because we can’t talk about a stolen election for another four years.” All of that criticism from former Trump loyalists has other MAGA culture warriors weaving conspiracy theories to explain away Trump’s weakness. Far-right podcaster Brenden Dilley used his platform to accuse Fuentes of being — of all possible things — a secret Democratic operative paid by the Harris campaign. The mind truly reels at the thought.

Like the border deal Trump stopped, he's also working with that other criminal to prolong the war -
Angry people with weapons being told to fight like hell, ya sure Doc It was dereliction of duty for him not to tell the violent protesters to stop violently attacking ou=r national legislature, right? If a cop saw a person being attacked, its his job to stop it. Trump laughed and watched it. Doc, that is criminal negligence

It seems only a matter of time before the Putin regime collapses. The beached whale of an army that Russia has can't even be re-deloyed to answer the need of an emergency on their own territory. Compare that to our logistics in moving an army half way around the world to invade Iraq. And the situation is just deteriorating for Russian logistics, It is death by a thousand and one cuts. Here is an interesting story on just one aspect of the Ukrainians cutting the Russian bear. A drone strike on a far away locomotive; good overall story about the Russian rail system and attacks upon it from not just drones but partisans https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidhambling/2024/05/15/drone-attack-derails-russian-train/ A drone strike this week derailed a Russian freight train, burning a tank car and leaving others strewn across the line in what looks like the first ever successful drone attack on a train. This looks like an escalation of the assault on Russia’s vital railway network, hitting the Russian military’s vulnerable logistics. Details are scant and there is little information available about the attack. But from the choice of target and the location some five hundred kilometers from the frontline, it will be setting off alarm bells all the way to the highest levels in the Kremlin.
