DEVOLUTION EXPLAINED (Patel Patriot) Video

https://rumble.com/vx7wny-devolution-explained-courtesy-of-patel-patriot-devolution-power-hour.html?mref=lzerp&mc=3ifeq

A Summary of Patel Patriot’s Articles on Devolution

A few weeks ago, my wife came across a series of articles written by an anonymous blogger who

proposed the possibility that President Trump’s administration is covertly being preserved by the U.S

military through a process called devolution. I realize that this idea may sound unbelievable and many

people who could not mentally adjust to Trump’s election loss convinced themselves that he had somehow

managed to remain President. In their minds, Trump was still occupying the oval office, and Biden was on

a TV set somewhere. This is not one of those theories. Rather, it is the logical conclusion one might

arrive at if they had conducted an enormous amount of research.

The word “devolution” as it is used in the context of government refers to the delegation of powers

from a central government to regional or local entities. As it pertains to this discussion, it suggests

that Trump and the military have established regional hubs of governmental authority and this fact is

known only to those who are directly involved. A number of people have uncovered documents and pieced

together key events supporting the idea that Trump put in place a mechanism by which he could remain

Commander in Chief, even as Joe Biden appears to be President.

The premise that Trump could do this is based on the idea that America has been in an undeclared war

with China since at least January of 2020. Trump has said on several occasions that when China allowed

covid-19 to escape Wuhan, they committed an act of war. When the U.S. is at war—even when it is an

undeclared war—the President has powers not available to him in peacetime. These powers do not require

congressional approval and many times when they are exercised, the public is not aware. The President

can, in wartime, take whatever steps are deemed necessary to save the Republic.

The devolution theory revolves around a number of presidential memoranda, executive orders, and odd

personnel changes made in 2020 related to national security. The key players involved are Chris Miller,

Kash Patel, and Ezra Cohen-Watnick, who held positions in the Pentagon and the National Counterterrorism

Center prior to, and after the election.

Central to the devolution theory is that Trump knew the election would be stolen by a foreign power,

and he viewed this as an act of war. In response, he preemptively and covertly took steps to invalidate

the outcome of the election. The measures he took are known only to a handful of people, but they

effectively make him the true Commander in Chief. A decision was made to allow the public to believe Joe

Biden is President, but at a later date, we will be informed of the truth.

Further, the theory proposes that a few key military assets around the country are covertly

supporting Trump, while most of the military believes Biden is calling the shots. At a future time—

perhaps when indisputable evidence of election fraud is made public—the military and Trump will make

their big reveal.

One objection to the theory is the adoption of “woke” ideology by military leaders. Critics say that

the military has gone soft and would not support Trump today. The U.S. military is comprised of

approximately one million people who come from all walks of life, who espouse diverse ideologies and have

different loyalties. It’s a gross oversimplification to say “the military is corrupt,” or “the military

is woke.” The military is highly compartmentalized. The ideologies and loyalties of one group are not

universally embraced by other groups.

Members of Special Operations teams are selected from a large number of applicants based on specific

criteria including loyalty. You’re not going to find wokeism being promoted in their ranks. These men and

women are patriots, and the devolution articles suggest that these are the very people Trump is working

with.

Proving that an insecure system is indeed insecure is what researchers do.

That it may help some malefactors is an unintended side-effect.

And where do you get the idea that any malefactor was helped?

True. The problem is when the system penalizes its users while giving a false sense of security.

Hunter Biden 'part of Chinese intelligence mission,' says former acting attorney general

Whitaker said the national security concern elevates Hunter Biden's alleged crimes to a higher level.

Former Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker said Hunter Biden was "part of a Chinese intelligence mission," after House Republicans released evidence of how the president's son's former business partner was connected to the Chinese Communist Party.

"There is no doubt that Hunter Biden was part of a Chinese intelligence mission that was trying to gather as much information as possible about Joe Biden, Hunter Biden and the entire Biden family," Whitaker, a former Trump appointee, told Fox News last week.

His interview came days after House Republicans released evidence that before becoming Hunter Biden's business partner and close associate, JiaQi "Jackie" Bao worked for the Chinese Communist Party at an agency that approves foreign-funded projects.

"I have always felt that in addition to the sort of just the classic political corruption that is contained in this case, there is this national security concern that I think actually elevates it to, you know, a higher level of a case," Whitaker said.

Australian Defence Department caught up in ransomware attack

A communications platform used by military personnel and Defence Department public servants has been hit by a ransomware attack.

Key points:

Defence says there is no evidence past and present staff's data were compromised

The hack occurred on an external IT provider

Defence bosses warned they expected the frequency, intensity and sophistication of cyber attacks to grow

Hackers have targeted the ForceNet service, which is run by an external ICT provider, but Defence has been told no data of current or former personnel appears to have been compromised.

In a message to all staff, the Defence secretary and Defence Chief said the matter was being taken "very seriously".

There's been a spate of cyber attacks in recent weeks, from telecommunication companies to health insurers.

Medibank last week confirmed a criminal entity behind the cyber attack on the company had access to the data of at least 4 million customers, some of which includes health claims.

A month earlier, Optus announced a cyber attack had exposed the data of almost 10 million Australians, with significant amounts of data stolen from 2.8 million people.

In their email to staff, the Defence bosses were adamant the hack of ForceNet was not an attack on the department's IT systems.

"We are taking this matter very seriously and working with the provider to determine the extent of the attack and if the data of current and former APS (Australian public service) staff and ADF personnel has been impacted," they wrote.

"If you had a ForceNet account in 2018, we urge you to be vigilant but not alarmed."

"Initial discussions with the service provider indicate there is no evidence that the data of current and former APS staff and ADF personnel has been compromised.

"We are nevertheless examining the contents of the 2018 ForceNet dataset and what personal information it contains."

The note to staff warned that Defence expected the frequency, intensity and sophistication of hacks to grow with time. It reminded staff they were not immune from attacks.

Israel must get rid of its nuclear weapons, UNGA majority decides

Israel will just ignore this. The usual suspects voted against.

https://www.jpost.com/international/article-720993

Israel must dispose of all its nuclear weapons and place its nuclear sites under the International Atomic Energy Agency’s purview, the United Nations General Assembly’s First Committee stated in an initial 152-5 vote.

The five nations that opposed Friday’s resolution on the “risk of nuclear proliferation in the Middle East” were: Canada, Israel, Micronesia, Palau and the United States. Another 24 countries abstained, including European Union members.

The annual resolution submitted by Egypt to the UNGA in New York was sponsored by the Palestinian Authority and 19 counties including Bahrain, Jordan, Morocco and the United Arab Emirates.

I'm having trouble with the new pattern that can only be posted on QR.

I'm having trouble posting in another catalog

Report.

I have nothing to say here.

The use of this Catalog has already been perfected.

Is it too late to try something new?

Opportunities for improvement lead to the possibility of making progress.

This is the board of [Q] and if I had to define one clear state here, it would be to become a Master Baker.

What else would you accomplish?

I believe it is possible to get my own catalog from Master Baker and contribute to Q for further prosperity there.

I believe that it is possible for me to become a professional if I take the time to do so.

It is important to become a professional yourself, but I think it is also constructive to create apprentices and successors to replace you.

I am already calling for a new Baker aspiring collaborator to replace me who is even better than I am.

A new baker is already scheduled to appear by the end of this year.

I believe that researching Q on our own board and taking a multifaceted approach will lead to further opportunities.

I believe that this will lead to more opportunities for awakening by increasing the number of Q-related catalogs, rather than just filling the 8kun catalog with a porn catalog.

I believe QR will be the largest and most up-to-date information gathering environment

I will consider further synergies by creating a catalog that leads to other QR

If you are going to create a Twitter account and post information that leads to Q, wouldn't it be far more constructive to have your own board and do research on Q?

It also proves clearly what you want to research and what you want to achieve

I believe it will clarify the issue and lead to opportunities for improvement.

I'm not trying to encourage division, but here are my thoughts on further prosperity

I'm posting this here because it affects my contribution to Q's research in another catalog.

Jim and the BO are firmly against it.

You're supposed to be keeping an email app open in another tab.

You're doing pretty good. Took me a while to figure out Bump, kek.

>>17709330

>You're supposed to be keeping an email app open in another tab

thanks,

I thought I was doing that with Bump.

so what email ap is there for me to use?

>>17709331

>I thought I was doing that with Bump.

You have Bump open? I think you stated otherwise.

>so what email ap is there for me to use?

Are you saying that you don't have an email account anywhere?

>>17709332

I have BUMP open.

I thought I said that

I have the Gator open and generated an email there.and then used Bump to generate another one that I am using for the email in the reply block

I have my personal email account, but there is no way I am using that, although I understand that certain people may already know who I am

>>17709328

>wouldn't it be far more constructive to have your own board and do research on Q?

having your own research board would defeat the 'hivemind' effect?

>>17709334

In your graphic, you said "you never have to go back to Bump". I take that to mean that you closed Bump after making your account there. No reason to keep it open.

>I have my personal email account, but there is no way I am using that

Okay. A lot of anons feel that way.

Didn't like my post… Interesting

>>17709335

>having your own research board would defeat the 'hivemind' effect?

I don't think it's going away.

It's a QR system.

I don't think the cycle of this system will ever stop.

>>17709328

curious as to criteria of "master baker""

could you expound?

>>17709336

Conclusion: Paul must like abuse.

>>17709337

yeah, I can see how you could read that into it.

but I do keep it open,

I was just implying that once you have did what you need to do at BUMP, you don't have to go back in the way that you have to go from 8kun and Gator.

i get misunderstood often. I just don't write that clearly what I mean

If you can bake a loaf of bread, then…

The accuracy of the rest is an individual point of view.

>>17709338

>Didn't like my post… Interesting

I have notice some of my posts don't post either.

is someone monitoring them before they get posted?

>>17709346

Well, you might as well ask the QRBO for a definition of what a Master Baker is.

BO would still have more credibility than me defining something.

How to Shitpost on QR.

1. Fire up your VPN. TWO VPN's are better than ONE, and THREE VPN's are better than TWO.

2. Go to proton.me and create an email account.

DO NOT ENTER ANY PERSONAL DETAILS, SUCH AS PHONE NUMBER, BACKUP EMAIL, ETC., as this is NOT A REQUIREMENT.

3. Once your email account is set up. Come to this site.

Protip: It is easier to have two instances of your browser up, at the SAME TIME. One for here, and one for your email.

4. Put your new email in the "email address" field (the one under "Name,") Create your post, and once done, hit the "request totp."

At some point, the site will send the super secret code to your email address that you entered in step FOUR.

5. Copy the secret code and put it in the field labeled "TOTP."

6. Hit the "Reply" button.

As the site is run by complete incompetents, you will have to wait at least FIVE FUCKING MINUTES to post again.

Think of it as "posting on QR made easy, the HARD WAY."

yw!

>>17709344

Good evening, RA.

Holy crap, what a weird pattern.

Statistically unique?

No. You can post more than once during the same 5-minute period (except that it's actually 4.5 minutes).

Keep a stopwatch handy.

>>17709355

I stand corrected:

Step 7. Grab your stopwatch, and set it to 4.5 mins, and attempt to post within that time, or else wait for the server to get around to sending a new super secret code.

NOTE: Sometimes the server will send you a complaint, like "The server is run my monkeys, and your post may or may not have gone through," or "The TOTP we just sent you is invalid because this site is run my monkeys."

Don't let this get you down. It is the "NEW NORMAL!"

Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud said at least 100 people were killed in two car bombings Saturday at a busy intersection in Mogadishu, the country's capital, and that the death toll could rise. 

Nearly 300 people are wounded, the president said. "We ask our international partners and Muslims around the world to send their medical doctors here since we can't send all the victims outside the country for treatment," he told reporters, according to The Associated Press. 

The attack occurred at the same location where more than 500 people were killed in a truck bombing five years ago.

The al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab, a U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, claimed responsibility for the attack. The group said it was targeting the education ministry because the department receives support from non-Muslim countries and "is committed to removing Somali children from the Islamic faith."

The Somali president said the country is "winning" the war against al-Shabab.

COVID-19 Origins: Investigating a “Complex and Grave Situation” Inside a Wuhan Lab

The Wuhan lab at the center of suspicions about the pandemic’s onset was far more troubled than known, documents unearthed by a Senate team reveal. Tracing the evidence, Vanity Fair and ProPublica give the clearest view yet of a biocomplex in crisis

“A Secret Language of Chinese Officialdom”

Toy Reid has always had a gift for languages — one that would carry him far from what he calls his “very blue-collar” roots in Greenville, South Carolina. In high school, Spanish came easily. At nearby Furman University, where he became the first person in his family to attend college, he studied Japanese. Then, “clueless but curious,” as he puts it, he channeled his fascination with the Dalai Lama into a master’s degree in East Asian philosophy and religion at Harvard. Along the way, he picked up Khmer, the national language of Cambodia, and achieved fluency in Chinese.

But it was his career as a China specialist for the Rand Corporation and as a political officer in East Asia for the U.S. State Department that taught him how to interpret a notoriously opaque language: the “party speak” practiced by Chinese Communist officials.

Party speak is “its own lexicon,” explains Reid, now 44 years old. Even a native Mandarin speaker “can’t really follow it,” he says. “It’s not meant to be easily understood. It’s almost like a secret language of Chinese officialdom. When they’re talking about anything potentially embarrassing, they speak of it in innuendo and hushed tones, and there’s a certain acceptable way to allude to something.”

For 15 months, Reid loaned this unusual skill to a nine-person team dedicated to investigating the mystery of COVID-19’s origins. Commissioned by Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., the team examined voluminous evidence, most of it open source but some classified, and weighed the major credible theories for how the novel coronavirus first made the leap to humans. An interim report, released on Thursday by the minority oversight staff of the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor & Pensions (HELP), concludes that the COVID-19 pandemic was “more likely than not, the result of a research-related incident.”

As part of his investigation, Reid took an approach that was artful in its simplicity. Working out of the Hart Senate Office Building in Washington and a family home in Florida, he used a virtual private network, or VPN, to access dispatches archived on the website of the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). These dispatches remain on the internet, but their meaning can’t be unlocked by just anyone. Using his hard-earned expertise, Reid believes he unearthed secrets that were hiding in plain sight.

On Nov. 12, 2019, a dispatch by party branch members at the BSL-4 laboratory appeared to reference a biosecurity breach: "These viruses come without a shadow and leave without a trace."

Ever since the Chinese city of Wuhan was identified as ground zero for the COVID-19 pandemic, a contingent of scientists have suspected that the virus could have leaked from one of the WIV’s complex of laboratories. The WIV is, after all, the venue for some of China’s riskiest coronavirus research. Scientists there have mixed components of different coronaviruses and created new strains, in an effort to predict the risks of human infection and to develop vaccines and treatments. Critics argue that creating viruses that don’t exist in nature runs the risk of unleashing them.

It’s interesting that journalists who did not take the time to go to Depape’s house & see it for themselves & talk to his neighbors directly, are attacking this reporter - who did exactly that. It’s called first-hand, real reporting & it used to be the minimum standard for every news organization.

Pelosi Attack Suspect Was A Psychotic Homeless Addict Estranged From His Pedophile Lover & Their Children

Berkeley resident David DePape was more in the grip of drug-induced psychosis than ideology-induced fanaticism.

Michael Shellenberger

Oct 29

Leading politicians yesterday blamed the political Right for the brutal attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul. “This is despicable,” said President Biden. He noted that the alleged attacker, David DePape, 42, shouted the same line, “Where’s Nancy?” as the supporters of Donald Trump, who stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. “And what makes us think that one party can talk about stolen elections?” said Biden. “COVID being a hoax? It’s all a bunch of lies.”

California political leaders agreed. “This heinous assault is yet another example of the dangerous consequences of the divisive and hateful rhetoric that is putting lives at risk and undermining our very democracy and Democratic institutions,” said California Governor Gavin Newsom. “This attack,” said San Francisco’s state Senator, Scott Weiner, “is terrifying and the direct result of toxic right-wing rhetoric.”

Journalists, en masse, agreed with their assessment. DePape “appears to have made racist and often rambling posts online,” noted AP, in a report this morning that encapsulated the media narrative, “including some that questioned the results of the 2020 election, defended former President Donald Trump and echoed QAnon conspiracy theories.”

But DePape’s politics have little rhyme or reason. In past years DePape shared a post about Stephen Colbert’s 2006 roast of President George W. Bush at the White House Correspondents dinner; linked to videos of Disney films altered to make it look like the characters were swearing; and claimed, “Jesus is the anti-Christ” — not exactly a litany of right-wing tropes.

The camper van parked in the driveway of the home belonging to David DePape’s ex-wife. The “Natural addiction treatment” that it’s advertising is of the psychedelic ibogaine, which neighbors say the DePape family has been bringing back to the United States from Mexico. The bumper stickers on the back of the camper are left-wing and conspiratorial.

And, as I discovered yesterday, DePape lived with a notorious local nudist in a Berkeley home, complete with a Black Lives Matter sign in the window and an LGBT rainbow flag, emblazoned with a marijuana symbol, hanging from a tree. A closer look reveals the characteristics of a homeless encampment, or what Europeans call “an open drug scene.” In the driveway, there is a broken-down camper van. On the street is a yellow school bus, which neighbors said DePape occasionally stayed in. Both are filled with garbage typical of such structures in homeless encampments. People come and go from the house and the vehicles, neighbors say, in part to partake in the use of a potent psychedelic drug, ibogaine.

>>17709412

Neighbors described DePape as a homeless addict with a politics that was, until recently, left-wing, but of secondary importance to his psychotic and paranoid behavior. “What I know about the family is that they’re very radical activists,” said one of DePape’s neighbors, a woman who only gave her first name, Trish. “They seem very left. They are all about the Black Lives Matter movement. Gay pride. But they’re very detached from reality. They have called the cops on several of the neighbors, including us, claiming that we are plotting against them. It’s really weird to see that they are willing to be so aggressive toward somebody else who is also a lefty.”

Not all of the news media missed DePape’s history of drug use, psychosis, and homelessness. CNN reported that a woman named Laura Hayes, who said she worked with DePape 10 years ago making hemp bracelets, said he had been living in a storage shed. “He talks to angels,” she said, and told her that “there will be a hard time coming.”

Another woman, Linda Schneider, told CNN and KRON4, that she got to know DePape around 2014 and that he was still homeless, living in a storage unit, and using hard drugs. “He (was) likely a mindless follower of something he saw on social media because I don’t think he had the courage to be part of any political or terrorist group,” said Schneider. “His drug use began again and he went off his rocker.”

But much of the rest of the news media, particularly local journalists who could have interviewed DePape’s neighbors, were swept up in the narrative that DePape was more like John Wilkes Booth, the fanatical but sane assassin of Abraham Lincoln, than John Hinkley, Jr., the mentally ill man who shot Ronald Reagan. DePape is much more like one of the hundreds of psychotic homeless people I’ve interviewed in recent years than the fanatical climate ideologues who I’ve been writing about in recent weeks.

Wrapped up in their own obsession with Trump Republicans, most journalists have missed the real story. David DePape is not a microcosm of the political psychosis gripping America in general. Rather, he’s a microcosm of the drug-induced psychosis gripping the West Coast in particular.

Drugs, Paranoia, and Pedophilia

DePape’s former house at 1526 Woolsey is a combination of a typical left-wing Berkeley home and a homeless encampment. (Author photos)

Yesterday afternoon I visited the Berkeley house where DePape had lived with his former lover, Oxane “Gypsy” Taub, 53, a charismatic Russian immigrant 11 years David’s senior. DePape appears to have fallen under the spell of Taub around 2003, when DePape was a quiet, video game-obsessed 20-year-old in Powell River, a town of 14,000 people that is a four-hour drive up the coast of British Columbia from Vancouver.

A November 27, 2008 article in the Oakland Tribune said Taub and DePape were married with three children. But DePape’s stepfather, Gene, told AP yesterday that Taub was his stepson’s girlfriend, not wife; that David and Taub had two, not three, children together; and that David’s third child was with another woman.

The article, which carried the headline, “Need is great on Thanksgiving Day in the East Bay,” described Taub, Pape, and their three children eating Thanksgiving dinner with the homeless. Taub told the reporter that they were there for the community, not because they couldn’t afford to eat at home.

Taub was in the news again five years later when she, then 44, married a 20-year-old man, Jamyz Smith, naked, at City Hall in San Francisco. A photo in the December 16, 2013 edition of The San Francisco Chronicle shows DePape, Taub, Smith, and the three children huddled under a blanket watching television together. The caption describes DePape as “a family friend.” As in The Oakland Tribune article, the focus was on Taub, with no quotes from DePape.

Ryan La Coste, who lives in an apartment directly behind the Taub-DePape house, said that the day after Taub’s wedding to Smith, “There was a huge fight. The guy [Smith] that she married got locked up. And so Taub married somebody else. My understanding was that David [DePape] was the best man to her husband at the wedding.”

The episode was typical of the chaos that swirled around DePape during the years leading up to his alleged attack on Paul Pelosi.

Here Come the Investigations

Congressional oversight spells big trouble for Biden.

Let’s say the GOP wins control of Congress on November 8. What will 2023 look like?

History offers clues. The Republican Congress will fight with the president over spending, immigration, the IRS, aid to Ukraine, and the debt ceiling. And it will open investigations into Biden’s personal and professional life. Divided government in a polarized America doesn’t simply halt a president’s legislative agenda. It saps energy out of the executive branch by forcing the White House into a defensive crouch.

Every president since Ronald Reagan has experienced a period of divided government. Every president since Reagan has faced withering scrutiny from an opposition Congress, from a special or independent counsel, or from all the above. Every president since Bill Clinton has fought Congress over spending. Those battles resulted in at least one government shutdown during three of the past four presidencies. (The Democratic Congress during George W. Bush’s final two years didn’t want to close the government, it wanted to cut off funds for the war in Iraq.)

Reagan was almost impeached for the Iran-contra scandal. George H.W. Bush had to contend with independent counsel Lawrence Walsh and with fallout from the collapse of the Savings and Loan industry. Clinton’s troubles began with Whitewater, moved on to the White House travel office, progressed to sleazy campaign finance, and climaxed in his impeachment for lying about and covering up his affair with a White House intern half his age. George W. Bush had to deal with another special counsel investigation, as well as a firestorm over his firing of U.S. attorneys.

Barack Obama’s administration was investigated for the Fast & Furious program, IRS targeting of Tea Party groups, and the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11, 2012. Donald Trump had special counsel Robert Mueller hounding him during his first two years, then Congress impeached him for his unsuccessful attempt to strong-arm the Ukrainians into giving him dirt on Biden. Then Congress impeached him again for the events of January 6, 2021. Trump has been out of office for almost two years, and Congress is still investigating him.

That’s six presidents and three impeachments. Three and a half, if you count the Iran-contra mess. Fair odds, then, that another impeachment lies ahead.

As soon as Congress changes hands, Republicans will be all over Homeland Security’s response to the border crisis. They will deluge the White House with document requests. They will examine whether the administration colluded with social media companies to censor politically incorrect views. They will put Attorney General Merrick Garland in the hot seat for his department’s handling of school board protests and criminalization of political differences. And, of course, the GOP Congress will pore over the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop.

Investigations are easy to start and hard to finish. They take on lives of their own. Republicans may have some idea of where they want to focus, but things never go according to plan.

New scandals emerge. On my screen as I write is an October 25 article in the New York Times with the headline, “U.S. Officials Had a Secret Oil Deal with the Saudis. Or So They Thought.” Reporters Mark Mazzetti, Edward Wong, and Adam Entous write that when President Biden met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohamed Bin Salman in July, he believed that the Saudis would increase oil production ahead of the midterm elections.

The Times notes that, on the very day in June that the White House announced its Middle East trip, Saudi Arabia said it would accelerate a production increase. When Biden met with Prince Salman in Riyadh, they fist-bumped. Then Biden left and the deal — if there ever was a deal — fell apart.

>>17709414

Take a step back for a moment. The president of the United States entered what he thought was a secret agreement with a foreign government to take actions intended to benefit his political party. The White House is convinced that the president’s fortunes rise and fall on the “price at the pump.” A price that Biden has tried desperately to drop — not by approving domestic oil and gas leases, pipelines, and refineries, but by depleting the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and pleading with autocratic governments to drill overseas. And when Saudi Arabia didn’t behave as expected, when the desired political benefit didn’t appear, Biden threatened retaliation.

Anyone else remember that “perfect” phone call between President Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky?

I’m not saying the situations are perfectly analogous. A fist bump is not quite the same as a phone transcript. Lower gas prices would help everybody, not just Biden and the Democrats. Plus, after scandal erupted over Trump’s call with Zelensky, U.S. military aid to Ukraine went ahead. Biden may follow through on his threats to punish Saudi Arabia — despite not having imposed any real penalty on Iran, which is supplying Russia with the kamikaze drones brutalizing Ukraine.

The Times story is a reminder that the future in politics is never a straight-line projection from the present. It is also a taste of all the subjects a Republican Congress will investigate in the coming years. None of us knows what grist for the oversight mill will be in tomorrow’s paper. Nor can we imagine what details intrepid congressional researchers will unearth in the months ahead.

The job of president has been hard for Joe Biden. It’s about to get a lot worse.

U.S. plans to deploy B-52 bombers to Australia's north -source

SYDNEY, Oct 31 (Reuters) - The United States is planning to deploy up to six nuclear-capable B-52 bombers to an air base in northern Australia, a source familiar with the matter said on Monday, amid heightened tensions with Beijing.

Dedicated facilities for the bombers will be set up at the Australian air force's remote Tindal base, about 300 km (190 miles) south of Darwin, the capital of Australia's Northern territory, said the source, who declined to be identified because they are not authorised to speak publicly on the issue.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Australia engages with the United States on defence alliances "from time to time."

"There are visits, of course, to Australia, including in Darwin, that has U.S. Marines, of course, on a rotating basis stationed there," Albanese said during a media conference.

Australia's Northern Territory is already host to frequent military collaborations with the United States. Thousands of U.S. Marines rotate through the territory annually for training and joint exercises, started under President Barack Obama.

Australian Defence Minister Richard Marles' office declined to comment.

The United States has drawn up detailed plans for what it calls a "squadron operations facility" for use during the Northern Territory dry season, an adjoining maintenance centre and a parking area for the B-52s, the ABC report said.
