\"trump-santa\"<\/p>\n

A few quick minor items.<\/p>\n

We wrote about how the BBC aired a program on President Trump in which they falsely edited and conjoined edited quotes an hour apart to make it look like he was urging his follower to storm the ramparts and pillage, plunder, and sack (you thought I was gonna throw in rapine, didn’t ya) Congress. Mr. Trump sued the Beeb for a billion,\u00a0 BBC director general Tim Davie and head of news Deborah Turness resigned Sunday, and they publicly apologized.<\/p>\n

“We accept that our edit unintentionally created the impression that we were showing a single continuous section of the speech, rather than excerpts from different points in the speech, and that this gave the mistaken impression that President Trump had made a direct call for violent action,” it said.\u00a0\u00a0BBC News<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Paying? Nope – if the Trump team wants the money, they will have to prove defamation in court. The Beehb’s defense: 1) BBC doesn’t have the rights and did not broadcast it in the US. 2) It didn’t harm Trump – he won anyway. 3) They were just shortening a long speech. (Yeah, like Kamala’s interview was shortened.)\u00a0 4) The sound bites were never intended to be considered in isolation (come again?) but in context (why did they not show all the context then?)\u00a0 5) As commentary on political speech, freedoms are heavily enforced in the US.<\/p>\n

Apparently a (probable air marshal) lawman, initials KH,\u00a0 dropped a loaded magazine on a Frontier flight, and boarding passengers on the return\u00a0 from Atlanta to Cincinnati found it. You can probably guess the result – everyone deplaned, all passengers rescreened by TSA, and I suspect an Airbus 320 load of ticked off pax. 10 rounds of hollowpoints just seem to cause trouble.<\/p>\n

“Customers were asked to deplane while a security sweep of the aircraft was conducted, along with additional passenger screening prior to the flight\u2019s departure,” the airline told the outlet. “A subsequent investigation confirmed that the ammunition belonged to a law enforcement officer who was on an earlier flight on the same aircraft. The ammunition and magazine were taken into the custody of the Atlanta Police Department and the property owner was referred to Atlanta P.D. to retrieve his items.”\u00a0MSN<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Guess at least he didn’t leave the gun behind, too.<\/p>\n

House Democrats released a few Epstein memos which must have been hastily chosen as they said almost nothing other than dropping Trump’s name One referred to him as “the dog who hasn’t barked” (meaning he had not committed to Epstein land?) one was that a girl who wanted to go to Epstein’s place didn’t want Trump there (didn’t say he was an abuser, I suspect she probably thought he was a bombastic prig) and the last was Epstein discussing how to leverage Trump’s acquaintanceship. Yawn… The Republicans fired back by releasing 20,000 pages of documents, which will probably be even MORE boring.\u00a0 \u00a0Mediaite<\/a><\/p>\n

\"anonUnger_Veterans\"<\/p>\n

Last but not least, a present for\u00a0 vets in the budget bill. You may remember us discussing that the VA had been sending lists of vets who needed financial fiduciaries to BATFE as mentally unstable, hence not allowed to have weapons.<\/p>\n

This legislation maintained a provision that prohibits the Department of Veterans Affairs from stripping the constitutional right of veterans to possess a firearm without due process simply because they have been appointed a fiduciary to manage their benefits.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the chairmen of the House and Senate Committees on Veterans\u2019 Affairs, Chairmen Mike Bost (R-Illinois) and Jerry Moran (R-Kansas) in addition to Sen. John Kennedy (R-Louisiana) have been working on legislation which would codify this important protection.\u00a0BFA<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
