    @Doctor-Phibes said in RFK Speaks: @Jolly said in RFK Speaks: No, Trump is hunting 60-65% of Bobby's vote. Presumably those are the non-whack job segment? Just the Doolally tappers out there that haven’t converted to the Moses Trump camp.

    https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-08-22/fbi-raid-orange-county-supevisor-daughter-home-vsa-nonprofit FBI raids homes of Orange County Supervisor Andrew Do and his daughter Federal agents on Thursday raided the homes of Orange County Supervisor Andrew Do and his daughter, as well as several other properties, in an investigation into the alleged improper use of taxpayer money. At least five locations, including several homes and a restaurant, were searched in connection with allegations made against the local nonprofit Viet America Society in a lawsuit brought by Orange County last week. In the lawsuit, the county alleges that the nonprofit misused money it was awarded to feed the elderly and needy during the pandemic, instead spending the funds on “lavish purchases.” Officials with the FBI, Department of Justice and Orange County district attorney’s office confirmed they were involved in the searches but declined to elaborate on what investigators were looking for because the investigation was ongoing and the warrants were under seal. The lawsuit accuses executives of the nonprofit, including Chief Executive Peter Ahn Pham, Secretary Dinh Mai, and Do’s daughter, 23-year-old Rhiannon Do, of pocketing more than $10 million in contracts and using the funds to purchase homes in Garden Grove, Buena Park, Santa Ana, Fountain Valley and Tustin. Chicago would be proud.

    We know it's not 24 million people per day (or 7 billion per year). His site is on auto-refresh. The count of unique users, who knows.

    Once again, the Babylon Bee (see post #2) is prophetic. We don't want to say "We told you so, but..." https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/08/27/gaza-pier-inspector-general/ The watchdog for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), which oversees Washington’s humanitarian work abroad, cited various “external factors” that it said impaired the agency’s effort to distribute food and other supplies brought to Gaza over the pier. Among them, according to the report, were the security requirements imposed by the Pentagon to protect U.S. military personnel working aboard the structure just offshore. “Multiple USAID staff expressed concerns” that the Biden administration’s focus on the pier undercut the agency’s advocacy for opening more land crossings — an approach, the report said, deemed “more efficient and proven.” “Once the President issued the directive,” the report states, “the Agency’s focus was to use [the pier] as effectively as possible.” The pier was attached to Gaza’s coastline in May amid rising concerns of famine that prompted the Pentagon to begin airdropping food into Gaza. But from the start, the mission was dogged by logistical and security setbacks, including rough seas that broke apart the structure, looting of aid trucks on land and a persistent logjam moving food from a staging area ashore due to worries that Israeli bombardment would kill the workers tasked with distributing it. The operation was halted for good last month. WaPo does the obligatory anticipated "pounce." The report is likely to embolden Biden’s critics who have questioned why he put U.S. troops in harm’s way for a mission that could have been avoided if he had successfully persuaded Israeli officials to curtail their blockade on Gaza established in October after Hamas militants led the deadly cross-border attack that triggered the war. While Israeli officials have said they are allowing aid into Palestinian territory, humanitarian groups assess that it is insufficient to feed the roughly 2 million people trapped by the violence.
