#sting operation

For those who don't believe this is a military sting operation 👇

Donald Trump Re-truthed a meme on Truth Social today that said, "Retruth if you want a public military tribunal," with a message on top reading, "All roads lead to Obama."

Years ago, Jerome Corsi predicted that Trump would launch a counterattack, invoking military tribunals against politicians like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama for treason. 🤔

Trump Border Czar Caught on Camera Taking Cash in FBI Sting

The Trump DOJ shut down the investigation.

Yet another reminder of how the Trump administration is as corrupt as fuck.

Trump's imbecilic and greedy "border czar" Tom Homan apparently accepted a $50,000 cash bribe last year – in an FBI sting. But Trump and his lickspittles at the Department of Justice had the investigation shut down.

In 2024, Trump’s now-border czar Tom Homan was recorded by the FBI accepting $50,000 in cash while promising to secure government contracts for undercover agents. MSNBC reports that the FBI and Justice Department were waiting to move forward with their investigation into Homan until he began as border czar and could make good on his promise. After Donald Trump became president in January 2025, however, the case hit a brick wall. FBI Director Kash Patel reportedly requested an update on the investigation into Homan, and unnamed Trump appointees closed the case. While there was no official reason given, MSNBC reports that one Trump DOJ official called it a “deep state” investigation. The probe into Homan began during the summer of 2024, when the subject of a separate federal investigation reported that Homan was soliciting money in exchange for future government contracts should Trump be re-elected. Soon, a joint investigation between the FBI, the DOJ’s Public Integrity Section, and the U.S. Attorney’s office in the Western District of Texas was underway. The inquiry looked “into the Border Czar and former Acting Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement Tom Homan and others based on evidence of payment from FBI undercover agents in exchange for facilitating future contracts related to border enforcement,” according to documents obtained by MSNBC.

Here's the MSNBC report.

No word on what happened to that $50,000 bag of cash.

Out on a Limb

I think it is a sign of an old geezerdom that writer Frank Doyle suggests a vaguely sexual component to just writing a phone number on Veronica's leg. I think he might have been leafing over old work, in this case Melody writing numbers on her stomach played as tribute to Goldie Hawn on Laugh In, for plot points. It is here a contrived plot point as Archie should have just jotted the number on his hand, but I guess there flirtatious behavior and she is just setting up an excuse to come by.

We see the number gets differentiated from an unclear scrawl in the original printing. I go with 191120, maybe. Maybe the 9 is a 4. At any rate, keep the number in mind.

Strunk and White correcting the punctuation.

It would have made more sense if the number on Veronica's leg had been played as getting smeared over a day -- at least we have some kind of plot development, a complications ensue. The numbers are completely off from what we not entirely cleanly saw earlier in the reprint.

🔥 Time for more spicy content! 🔥 Sleek sea slugs like this opalescent nudibranch (Hermissenda opalescens) are beautiful thieves, stealing stinging cells from jelly relatives (hydroids and anemones) by munching on their tentacles. During digestion, the stinging cells move into the nudibranch’s bright orange mane (cerata) where they provide potential predators with a seariously spicy surprise.
