Krasnov’s most favored nation isn’t on the tariffs list…
The US imported $3.72 billion in products from Russia in 2024… stuff not covered by sanctions… Seems a bit much to overlook…

F47 wants two things --California's Water + California's Voters
From F47's remarks on arrival in Fletcher, NC
01/25/2025
..."we’re going to do a good job in California. That is a disaster like — I don’t know if we’ve ever seen anything like it, frankly. They say “the biggest in the history of California.”
"And I guess I’m going to meet with some government officials, but, I mean, much more importantly — and in California, just to revert to it for a second, millions of gallons of water are waiting to be poured down through already the half pipes that are already built. I mean, they’ve been up for 40 years. And about 20 years ago, they turned off the water. And it’s the water that comes from the Pacific Northwest — some of it comes out of Canada — and it flows there, and it probably has flowed there for a million years. And they turned it off, and they route out to the Pacific.
And in the meantime, you don’t have water in the hydrants. You don’t have water in the sprinkler systems. It’s the craziest thing I’ve ever seen.
And everyone’s trying to figure out: Why aren’t they turning it back? They say it’s the delta smelt — it’s a fish — but I find that hard to believe. But we’ll —"
" figure it out. And without — and without doing that, you’re going to continue to have problems."

" I want to see two things in Los Angeles: Voter ID, so that the people have a chance to vote, and I want to see the water be released and come down into Los Angeles and throughout the state. Those are the two things.
After that, I will be the greatest president that California have ever — has ever seen. "
"I want the water to come down and come down to Los Angeles and also go out to all the farmland that’s barren and dry.
You know, they have land that they say is the equivalent of the land in Iowa, which is about as good as there is anywhere on Earth. The problem is it’s artificial, because they artificially stop the water from going on to the land.
So, I want two things. I want voter ID for the people of California, and they all want it. Right now, you have no — you don’t have voter ID. People want to have voter identification. You want to have proof of citizenship. Ideally, you have one-day voting, but I just want voter ID as a start. And I want the water to be released, and they’re going to get a lot of help from the U.S."

Jacob Soboroff's film, "Separated"...
Jacob's Soboroff's comprehensive, thoughtful + sensitive reporting of the travesty that was RTump's border policy of child separation brought me to tears on multiple occasions. That children may be subjected to similar abuse if RTump is re-elected is beyond outrageous + criminal. These children were subjected to harms that will never be addressed or remedied...
The film is based on journalist Jacob Soboroff's book “Separated: Inside an American Tragedy.” I am grateful that Jacob will not let these children + their families be forgotten...
Thankful as well that Errol Morris is able to portray these events on film... Morris, writing in a director's statement, said he intended the film to be both an exploration of the “terrible misdeeds of our recent past” + a “cautionary tale for the future.”
The film will be screened on MSNBC on 12/07/2024.
Donald Trump abruptly cancels campaign event
Source: Palmer Report
Trump has finally scheduled an event in Pennsylvania, aimed at winning over Polish voters in Bucks County. But now, for unstated reasons, the Trump campaign is cancelling the event at the last minute. So what’s going on?
It could be a number of things. There is, for instance, an exploding scandal today that’s on the verge of taking down North Carolina Republican Governor candidate Mark Robinson. But what would that have to do with a Trump event in Pennsylvania? It’s possible Trump is going into hiding completely as the Robinson scandal plays out. But it could easy be something else.

Discovered on Change.Org... Invoke the Baker Act for Trump: Serious Safety Concerns Over Mental Health
https://www.change.org/p/invoke-the-baker-act-for-trump-serious-safety-concerns-over-mental-health
A petition via Change.org will not produce the desired result.
Rather, someone living in Palm Beach County needs to file a petition with the Circuit Court.
The Clerk of the Court provides a video, forms + instructions here:
https://www.mypalmbeachclerk.com/departments/courts/unified-family-court/mental-health
The Court website explains:
What is the Baker Act?
Chapter 394 of the Florida Statutes is known as the Baker Act or the Florida Mental Health Act. A Baker Act proceeding is a means of providing an individual with emergency service for mental health evaluation (examination) and/or treatment (placement).
Who can petition the court to initiate an Involuntary Baker Act Examination?
Any individual who is of age and who has witnessed the actions of a person and believes that person to be a threat to themselves or others and is willing to give testimony to that, can file a petition for Involuntary Examination.
How do I petition the court for an Involuntary Baker Act Examination?
Appear in person at the Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller's office to complete a sworn affidavit/petition.
Arrive at the office by 3:30 PM to allow time for processing.
Provide information as to the respondent’s (person subject to the Baker Act) behavior, identification and location).
If the emergency services are required after hours, on the weekend or on a holiday, please contact your local law enforcement who shall take the person who appears to meet the criteria for involuntary examination into custody and deliver the person to an appropriate facility or the nearest facility within the designated receiving system for an involuntary examination. (F.S. 394.462(2)(a)2.
What happens after the petition is completed and filed with the clerk?
The clerk initiates a court case.
The file is taken to the presiding Magistrate for review.
The Magistrate makes a recommendation to the court to grant or deny the petition.
If the person meets the criteria for the Baker Act, the judge signs an order granting the petition.
Certified copies of the order are delivered to the Warrant’s Division of the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.
The respondent is picked up and taken to the hospital or mental health facility by the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office for an evaluation.
A person may be held for up to 72 hours for an evaluation.
The evaluation may result in authorized staff at the facility petitioning the court for an Involuntary Baker Act Treatment/Placement order.
If the order for treatment is granted by the court, the person may be held at the facility for up to 6 months for treatment.
Anyone live in Palm Beach County???
