This will be fun.

The "Pardons" that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen. In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them! The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden. He knew nothing about them, and the people that did may have committed a crime. Therefore, those on the Unselect Committee, who destroyed and deleted ALL evidence obtained during their two year Witch Hunt of me, and many other innocent people, should fully understand that they are subject to investigation at the highest level. The fact is, they were probably responsible for the Documents that were signed on their behalf without the knowledge or consent of the Worst President in the History of our Country, Crooked Joe Biden!

This is despite there being evidence that they weren't all signed by an autopen, and that signing with an autopen is allowed.

But if it allows him to go after people who've slighted him then he's going to try to make it stick. Expect another battle in the courts.

Worth noting the subtle tweak to US travel advice by UK FCDO in the last few days.

Did read: (archive.org)
The authorities in the US set and enforce entry rules. If you're not sure how these requirements apply to you, contact the US Embassy or a consulate in the UK.

Now reads: (gov.uk)
You should comply with all entry, visa and other conditions of entry. The authorities in the US set and enforce entry rules strictly. You may be liable to arrest or detention if you break the rules. If you're not sure how these requirements apply to you, contact the US Embassy or a consulate in the UK.

Derogatory statements re. the current US leadership were found on a French scientist's phone which resulted in him being refused entry to the US. Earlier this week there were also reports of German citizens being detained at the US border, including one being sent to a detention facility. Notably, the German government has also made similar amendments to its own US travel advice.

These are developments anyone travelling to the States in the near future should bear in mind.

This is pretty unbelievable and stinks of amateurish.

The White House has confirmed that a journalist was inadvertently added to an unsecure group chat in which US national security officials planned a military strike in Yemen.

The Atlantic magazine's Jeffrey Goldberg reported, external that he was included on a Signal message group where Vice-President JD Vance and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth were apparently among members.

He said he saw classified military plans for US strikes on Houthi rebels, including precise details of weapons packages, targets and timing, two hours before the first bombs struck.

Goldberg said he was added to the message chain, apparently by accident, after receiving a connection request from someone who appeared to be White House National Security Adviser Michael Waltz.

And embarrassing....

The group chat appears to shed further light on the administration's abandonment of old alliances.

Vice President JD Vance seemed to question the President's decision to strike, writing: "I just hate bailing Europe out again."

Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth replied: "I fully share your loathing of European free-loading. PATHETIC."

Trump and his team argued that European countries benefit from US protection of shipping lanes in the Red Sea, a frequent target for Houthis attacks.

At least it's now so in the open regarding policy to Europe.

Vance and Hegseth are horrible people and totally out of their depth on the political stage. They will do much damage to America's reputation in the next few years.

In what world do the US prop up Europe?

It's evident, between the now complete silence on China, and the bootlicking of Russia, that Trump et al basically want a trifecta superpower with them both. And holding Europe in the disdain they used to have for both China and Russia formerly.

We call Trump orange, but he's the new red menace.

European governments should now be looking at supporting new tech start-ups and creating a whole new OS infrastructure like Apple and Microsoft, imo. Move away from anything to do with America.
