    'Disgusting': Lawmakers in both parties shocked after viewing unredacted Epstein files

    excerpt:

    “In a couple of hours, we found six men whose names have been redacted, who are implicated in the way that the files are presented,” Massie told reporters outside the DOJ office where lawmakers viewed the files.

    They did not initially specify the individuals’ names, but Massie said at least one was a US citizen and some were “high‑up” foreign officials.

    Massie later revealed that one of the men on this list was Les Wexner, the ex-CEO of L Brands, which owns Victoria’s Secret. Wexner appears in the files thousands of times and was infamously one of Epstein’s most intimate financial clients.

    After Massie questioned why Wexner’s name was blacked out, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced it had been unredacted and said the DOJ was “hiding nothing.” The other five names remained redacted as of Tuesday morning.

    Why wouldn't the coal industry give Trump an award.

    Trump signed an order that subsidizes coal by forcing the Pentagon to use coal energy.

    During his first term, Trump wanted the Pentagon to go back to steam powered aircraft launchers for battleships.

    Now he can have those steam powered launchers powered by coal.

    And have it on his planned super duper Trump Class USS aircraft carriers, one of which is called The Defiant.

    Article from August 2017.


    What Trump has said about 'clean coal' and what it is

    excerpt:

    "We've ended the war on beautiful, clean coal. and it's just been announced that a second, brand new coal mine where they're going to take out clean coal — meaning they're taking out coal, they're going to clean it — is opening in the state of Pennsylvania," Trump said.

    His comment puzzled scientists and people with an understanding of how coal mining works.

    "He clearly doesn't know what he's talking about," said Pieter Tans, the lead scientist of the Global Greenhouse Gas Reference Network of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Boulder, Colorado.

    "It sounds like he thinks that they're going to wash the coal," Tans told ABC News. "It doesn't make any sense."

    Trump said he didn't invite the only African-American governor (Moore) because he has a foul mouth.

    Trump administration working to expand effort to strip citizenship from foreign-born Americans
    U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials focused on denaturalization were sent to offices nationwide, sources say.

    Trump administration working to expand effort to strip citizenship from foreign-born Americans

    excerpt:

    "WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is dramatically expanding an effort to revoke U.S. citizenship for foreign-born Americans as it works to curb immigration, according to two people familiar with the plans.

    Over the past several months, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the agency within the Department of Homeland Security that’s responsible for legal immigration, has been sending experts to its offices around the country or reassigning staff members to focus on whether some citizens processed through those offices could now be denaturalized, these people said."

    House passes SAVE America Act, sending Trump-backed election bill to the Senate

    excerpt:

    Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, came out against it this week, reminding her GOP colleagues they claimed to be against federal election mandates to states as recently as 2021.

    “When Democrats attempted to advance sweeping election reform legislation in 2021, Republicans were unanimous in opposition because it would have federalized elections, something we have long opposed,” she said. “Now, I’m seeing proposals such as the SAVE Act and MEGA that would effectively do just that. Once again, I do not support these efforts.”

    Trump tries to salvage governors' gathering by saying he will allow attendance by Democratic governors, except two (Moore and Polis).

    Trump is now saying that he didn't intend to exclude all Democrats from the gathering. He blames it on a misunderstanding by Stitts.


    Trump says governors from both parties are invited to White House events, except 2 Democrats

    Trump says governors from both parties are invited to White House events, except 2 Democrats

    excerpt:

    "In his Wednesday post, Mr. Trump cited a disagreement over the imprisonment of former Colorado county election clerk Tina Peters as the reason for not inviting Polis. The president has pushed Polis for months to grant clemency to Peters, who is serving a nine-year sentence on multiple state charges related to unauthorized access to voting machines.

    And Mr. Trump called Moore "foul mouthed" and claimed he had embellished receiving military medals, though Moore has said it was an "honest mistake" on a White House fellowship application in 2006. He has since received a Bronze Star for his deployment to Afghanistan."

    https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/02/11/us/trump-news

    excerpt:

    "Tariffs: Six Republicans joined nearly all Democrats on Wednesday in backing a resolution to rescind the tariffs President Trump imposed on Canada last year, a largely symbolic rebuke to the president that nonetheless carries political weight. Mr. Trump would almost certainly veto the bill if it reaches his desk, but its movement through the House reflected frustration among some G.O.P. lawmakers."

    What The Georgia Grand Jury Report On Trump's Election Interference Doesn't Reveal Is Most Revealing | National Urban League

    excerpt:

    "The grand jury confirmed that Trump’s claims were baseless after hearing “extensive testimony” from Georgia poll workers, investigators, technical experts, state employees and elected officials – even those who continued to promote conspiracy theories.

    Their conclusion establishes for the record that Trump’s coercion of Raffensberger to announce a “recalculation” that found exactly one more vote for Trump than his margin of loss was, in fact, an attempt to overturn the results of a lawful, legitimate election."

    There are ways to atomize and further refine coal to remove the impurities and get it to the point of being >95% pure carbon...but it's not cheap. Stack scrubbers can remove most of the pollutants. Why don't we do these things? Because we don't have to.

    And if you gave him a pencil and paper and asked him what he really likes about tRump and what he has accomplished, he couldn't write a line or two beyond 'he'll git them damn 'uhleaguls out of OUR country...'

    I had that conversation with a work colleague and another friend at lunch...I fervently tried to get my friend not to discuss it, being my colleague was more of a back woods MAGA boy.....he couldn't get beyond the illegals and how terrible Obama care was for the nation - but he couldn't point out exactly why it was so... I think I quickly turned the conversation to sex or religion so nobody would come to blows... Just the mindset is boggling.
