Re Muslim conversions.. I recently went to a seminar on this. Don’t push Christianity on
Them. Simply bring up the subject of Jesus. When they say he was only a prophet. Ask them, don’t you think it’s interesting that and then bring up several verses in the Quaran which are the same ones in the Bible. And then— you know the Bible was written long before the Quaran. Don’t push. Let them do some research on it and let them chew on that for a while before you get back to them.

Maybe the Trump team let that person whom you are asking about go ahead with the appointment/recommendation so he could out himself as a DS plant.

Computer Generated Transcript of Comey's video message (Video 5:24 in duration).

Hey everybody, welcome back to my
Substack.
Last week's cold turns out to have been
COVID. Quite a flashback. And Donald
Trump is still president and still
humiliating America on a national stage
standing next to Vladimir Putin. It's
like a dream, a bad dream you can't wake
up from. But I don't want to talk about
that bad dream this week. I want to talk
about a truly inspirational public
figure named Taylor Swift. Of course, I
watched her podcast interview with the
Kelsey brothers. Of course, I watched
the whole thing. Although on YouTube,
Patrice and I got kicked off for the
last 15 minutes and finished it on her
phone, but I watched it. You see, Taylor
Swift and I go way back. I went to my
first concert of hers 15 years ago. I've
been to a second and I have helped
financially support the attendance of a
lot of family members at Others. I'm in
a family's Swifty group chat. I know all
her music and I listen to it in my
headphones when I cut the grass. So,
yes, I have a favorite of hers.
Although, honestly, for me, it's a tie
between All Too Well, 10-minute version
and Exile featuring Bony Ver.
Taylor Swift has grown up with my family
and provided us a soundtrack really as
we've grown ourselves and learned and
adapted and dealt with adversity and
celebration. She had songs for all of
it. I suspect that's something that
millions of Americans have also
experienced in their families. I think
that's because Taylor Swift produces
great art, but also because she models
something. At every stage of her career,
she's shown a certain way of being that
resonated with my kids and also felt
right to me as a parent. And she's still
doing that as a grown-up.
Like a lot of you, I struggle with how
to stand up to bullies without letting
their meanness infect me and change me.
You may have seen that the governor of
California has been generating a lot of
attention lately by posting on social
media in a satirical way where he mocks
Donald Trump and his all caps
megleammania and his absurdity. And I
find it very funny, hilarious even
sometimes. But I got to be honest, it
also leaves me with a strange feeling at
times because I don't want us to become
like Trump and his followers.
There are far more decent, honest, kind
people in America than there are mean
jerks. Now, don't get me wrong, we have
our jerks, millions of them. You may
have noticed in particular, there's a
stunning coarseness and ugliness in the
Republican party today. It's upsetting,
but it's also a minority of America.
On the whole, we aren't like that and we
don't like that. I think that's a big
part of the reason so few Americans
support Donald Trump when they have to
see him and that up close and why
Republicans are so worried about what's
coming for them next year.
And to be clear, I am not an advocate
for weakness. Of course, we need to
stand up to jerks and defend what
matters. But I think we have to try to
do that without becoming like them,
which is what makes me think about
Taylor Swift.
She's made clear that she sees Donald
Trump for what he is. And last year, she
urged Americans not to make the serious
mistake of electing him. Of course,
we're now living with the consequences
of that mistake. But while our elderly
makeup covered president is posting
about whether Taylor Swift is still hot
and declaring that he can't stand her,
what's she doing? Living her best life,
producing great music, and as she urged
all of us to do during the podcast, not
giving the jerks power over her mind.
She said something about dealing with
internet trolls that stuck with me.
Think of your energy as if it's
expensive, she said, as if it's like a
luxury item. Not everyone can afford it.
I really enjoy reading Arthur Brooks,
who writes columns about happiness in
the Atlantic. I don't know if he's a
Swifty, but last week he wrote about
research on the way that being rude or
snarky actually hurts the rude person.
as he wrote, "When you become less
polite, the alteration in your conduct
can make you less happy, more depressed,
and angrier about life."
I know you get that even without the
research. Just watch Fox News or hang
around X and you'll see what he means.
We can't stop people from being jerks.
What we can do is stop it from hurting
us, from changing us.
At my second Taylor Swift concert in
Hartford, Connecticut 14 years ago this
summer, she sang a song about this
topic, asking why you got to be so mean.
And she spoke directly to the nasty
people.
I bet you got pushed around. Somebody
made you cold. But the cycle ends right
now because you can't lead me down that
road. You'll be glad I didn't sing that.
That's right. Because down that road is
unhappiness.
Nobody should have that power over us.
Thank you, Taylor Swift. Keep the faith.

Complete DUCKDUCKGO.COM AI search results for the use of submarines in the Potomac.

Yes, small submarines can operate in the Potomac River, but they would need to navigate carefully due to the river's shallow areas and potential restrictions. The Potomac is navigable and has been used for various types of vessels, including military and research crafts.

Could they operate in the Potomac nearest the Federal Reserve warning?

 
Search

Small submarines would face significant operational challenges near the Federal Reserve warning area on the Potomac River due to strict security regulations.

Security Zones and Regulations

The Potomac River has designated security zones that restrict access to ensure the safety of government officials and the public. Here are the key points regarding these zones:

ZoneDescriptionRegulations
Zone 1All navigable waters of the Potomac from the Francis Scott Key Bridge to the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.Entry is prohibited unless authorized by the Coast Guard Captain of the Port.
Zone 2All navigable waters of the Anacostia River.Similar restrictions apply as in Zone 1.
Zone 3Waters from the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport to Hains Point.Entry is also restricted without authorization.
Zone 4Georgetown Channel of the Potomac River.Specific regulations apply, including a 75-yard restriction from the eastern shore.
Zone 5Boundary Channel and Pentagon Lagoon.Entry is restricted without authorization.

Implications for Submarine Operations

Given these restrictions, small submarines would not be able to operate freely in the Potomac River near the Federal Reserve warning area. They would require special authorization to enter these security zones, which is typically granted only to public vessels or those under military supervision.

Navigating in these areas would also involve careful planning to avoid detection and comply with security protocols, making it impractical for routine operations.

If you have any specific scenarios or further questions about submarine operations in this context, feel free to share!

In which zone is the Federal Reserve?

.
GPT-4o mini

The Federal Reserve is located in the Zone 1 security area of the Potomac River. This zone encompasses all navigable waters of the Potomac from the Francis Scott Key Bridge to the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

Key Points about Zone 1

  • Location: Extends from the Francis Scott Key Bridge to the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
  • Regulations: Entry is prohibited unless authorized by the Coast Guard Captain of the Port. This includes all types of vessels, including small submarines.

Due to these strict regulations, any operations near the Federal Reserve would require special permissions and adherence to security protocols. If you have more questions or need further details, let me know!

what is the size of the largest submarine suited for the potomac in zone 1?

I have not finished watching the video regarding the shadow business of selling fake ID's at a (Riverside?) Costco but will put the notes I've made this far below:

Partial Video notes (in progress)

ICE Agents RAID California Costco Warehouse — Then THIS Happened (26 minute YOUTUBE video)

August 22, 2025

An I.C.E. raid on a Southern California Costco exposed a highly structured fake document system using industrial tools for document fraud to create an estimated 3 thousands ID's monthly. According to DHS data, roughly 40% of the 900 workers detained that morning carried fake ID documents produced at this  very Costco. (ransomnote: I wonder if Costco employees at that location had to be invited by the 'Costco fraud cartel' to even be hired, because they wouldn't want someone outside their circle stumbling on to what they were doing.)

There is a regular billing process in which those using those fake ID's have to continue make payments to keep their fake ID's updated.(ransomnote: In that last regard, it sounds like a pyramid scheme. ALl the persons who purchase fake ID are now subscribers)

The narrator often remarked on the professional manner in which  I.C.E. handled this raid using military style counterterrorism tactics and treating the document fraud as a threat to national security (fake IDs to support infiltration and other crime hubs).

The fraud operation was highly structured and the video mentioned that high quality materials were used to create fake IDs, including authentic DMV materials. Many Costco employees working at the store had very specific jobs in the fraud network, and ran their document fraud business like a cartel enabling broader criminal networks.  It ran like a well-oiled machine in a shadow economy. Some of the high end printers were capable of rendering government holograms used to authenticate documents along with laminating machines used in State licensing offices.

THe operation used microchips which mimicked official ID's. Even seasoned agents were shocked at the sophistication of the technology and organization which was used to produce official documents which could fool digital scanners at banks and government offices. During the raid, agents confiscated equipment valued at over $600,000. The narrator said the scale of the operation could produce enough fake ids to supply a small army of workers across Southern California.

ransomnote: I wonder how many document hubs there really are, and how many years this and others have been cranking out this quantity of fake ID. This may be another reason why Dems throw tantrums about voter ID. Sure it helps the undocumented vote, but it also avoids detection of ID fraud leadign to regional document centers etc.

The documents ranged from basic Social Security cards ($200) for quick job verifications, to intricate green cards that could withstand closer scrutiny (including specialized inks and holographic overlays. Later the narrator (computer generated voice over) said 'premium green cards can fetch up to $1,500.

ransomnote: I wonder if any State or Federal Congress Critters obtained a 'premium green card'. If so, they would be subject to blackmail to avoid exposure.

According to DHS data, roughly 40% of the 900+ workers detained that morning carried fake ID documents produced at this  very Costco. The narrator describes other similar operations elsewhere. The document mills work as regional hubs supplying forged ID's to workers and criminals alike.

The national security implications are profound. A single fake ID does more than just enable access to a job, it opens doors to financial systems, travel and access to restricted areas like ports and federal buildings. In military terms, this represents a breach in the country's defensive perimeter. 

This document mill makes it hard for the government to identify workers in a manner similar to the battlefield, where the enemy blends in with civilians, undetected until its too late.

Costco's document fraud produced ID indistinguishable from that issued by state agencies. Fake cards with pre-printed security features indicate inside sources at the DMV or its supply chain.

Many workers reported receiving documents directly from supervisors during shift changes, often in unmarked envelopes slipped into lockers.

Costco's fraud is a cog in a larger machine. The mill's output is connected to retail, construction and agriculture labor pools, all industries which rely on 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some of the comments on the article say that this location is in Riverside, California, and several comments indicate they believe there's no way Costco corporate didn't know. Someone quoted an excerpt saying Costco signed ICE's Mutual Agreement between Government and Employers (IMAGE) during a signing ceremony Tuesday.

This is not only California. I believe this type of criminal undertaking is everywhere! I work PT for a small Uhaul dealer in West Texas, and most of the customers are non English speaking immigrants with legal Texas licenses. They rent trucks and never return them. We find them abandoned in different states and when we try to contact them, phones and references phones are shut off, as well as their bank debit cards. They run up thousands of dollars fraudulently renting our trucks only paying for a single day upon renting, then they shut down their debit card, cash app card, and never answer their phones again. They are using the trucks to either traffic people or drugs, then abandoned the truck hundreds of miles away. It's an on going battle because all of their documentation looks legal.

I recently watched part of a video about a shadow network operating in a Costco (Riverside California) with managers and employees having roles in the 2nd business manufacturing fake ID's. 900+ employees of that Costco were detained and there are remarks about how authentic the documents they made looked. Some used the same technology or paper stock as the DMV and could make the 'authentic' holographic mark on documents. 

Mind blowing. There were some comments that Corporate HQ would have to know of a business this size and proficiency. That makes me wonder about other Costco's around the country. I wonder how many employed right now got a job via professional looking ID? I think the video said something like 20% of Costco's employees obtained work using these fake ID's.

I wonder if this is a big part of why the Dems don't want Voter ID. If any fakes are detected it will trigger a purge of voters/employees using fake ID's from the rolls.

Today I read that Section 8 housing is going to expel non citizens, and what about the ones using fake ID's. The prices vary from $250 to over $1500 (green card) and buyers have to pay regular intervals to keep their ID up to date.

The scale of the operation  - it makes me wonder how many Costcos or other businesses are involved. How many illegals are walking around with 'good' fake ID's?

I put my notes on the Costco video at the link and hope to finish them and post them as a thread. (*adds to todo list*)
