Michael And Susan Dell Donate $6.25B To
Encourage Families To Claim "Trump Accounts"
Posted By: J. Arthur Brown, 12/2/2025 10:17:56 AM
Billionaires Michael and Susan Dell pledged $6.25 billion Tuesday to provide 25 million children under 10 an incentive to claim the new investment accounts for children created as part of President Donald Trump's tax and spending legislation. The historic gift has little precedent, with few single charitable commitments in the past 25 years exceeding $1 billion, much less multiple billions. Announced on Giving Tuesday, the Dells believe it is the largest single private commitment made to U.S. children.

Health Insurance Delays Over "Prior Authorizations" 4 replies
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced an end to the delays caused by health insurance prior authorizations. During Tuesday's televised White House cabinet meeting, Kennedy said, "We convened the insurance carriers representing 280 million Americans and got them to agree -- most of them by January of 2026, two months from now -- to remove prior authorizations for all procedures we want them removed from." "And that means that American patients at the point of care will be able to get an answer immediately," he added.
In September the U.S. Justice Department Civil Rights Division filed federal lawsuits against six states for failure to produce their statewide voter registration lists upon request . . . As the Globe said at the time, "That the DOJ is hauling California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania into court for hiding their voter rolls is monumental, and specifically the accountability Americans have been clamoring for." Today the Justice Department did it again, but filed Federal lawsuits against six additional states -- Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington -- for failure to produce their statewide voter lists upon request.
After winning a court order essentially forbidding federal immigration agents from responding with force against so-called "protestors" interfering with ICE operations and threatening federal agents in Illinois, attorneys representing journalists and anti-ICE activists have now decided to pull the plug on their lawsuit, rather than defend the order in the face of a potential loss on appeal,
They were promised lucrative and stable careers if they "learned to code" and earned a degree in software engineering. Instead, many Americans in the tech industry have been left disillusioned as they face mass layoffs and chronic unemployment -- a crisis they say stems from an addiction to cheap foreign labor pipelines that are made accessible through programs like H-1B and touted by companies as a way to hire the "best and brightest."

For Many "Low-Level" Taliban "Civil Servants"
To Come To U.S. 3 replies
The Biden Administration created a terrorism exemption for Afghan refugees allowing hundreds of low-level "civil servants" from the Taliban government to resettle in the United States in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal and evacuation from the country. . . . The exemptions were for Afghans who had worked as "civil servants" under the Taliban (both before 9/11 and after August 2021), as well as for Afghans who "supported U.S. military interests" such as participation in resistance movements against the Taliban or the Soviet Army and for Afghans "who provided only certain limited material support to the Taliban or other designated terrorist organizations."

The Biden Administration okayed Special Counsel Jack Smith's subpoenaing congressional phone records knowing the subpoenas were unconstitutional, emails released last week revealed. That same trove of documents also established the illegality of the nondisclosure orders issued by the courts to prevent the telecommunication providers from alerted [sic.] the members of Congress of the unconstitutional seizure of their toll records.
Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, plans to introduce legislation on Monday that would require any U.S. citizen who has dual citizenship to between the two countries, Fox News Digital has learned. It would also require that if a U.S. citizen seeks a foreign citizenship in the future, that person would give up their U.S. citizenship. Moreno, who was born in Colombia but has since renounced his Colombian citizenship, said in a statement Fox News Digital, "One of the great honors of my life was when I became an American citizen at 18, the first opportunity I could do so."

Two protestors who joined an effort to block a planned Immigration and Customs Enforcement crackdown on Canal Street in lower Manhattan were charged with felony assault after injuring two officers trying to control the crowd, prosecutors said. The two were among a total of 18 arrested during a chaotic protest that included forming a human chain and using garbage cans and planters to block ICE agents trying to leave a Lower East Side garage.

The Biden Administration's chaotic evacuation from Kabul in August 2021 was marked by a lack of planning and significant vetting flaws for the tens of thousands of Afghans airlifted out of the country amidst the Taliban takeover, according to multiple watchdog reviews and witness testimony. The U.S. brought out tens of thousands of Afghan refugees in August 2021 during the chaotic non-combatant evacuation operation (NEO) out of Hamid Karzai International Airport (HKIA).
It is almost painfully obvious what a scam and a setup this whole "Pete Hegseth is killing innocent drug dealers!" thing is. Mysterious anonymous sources just happened to say exactly what the Democrats needed said following their illegal orders nonsense of last week, and exactly when they needed to change the subject from the murder of a soldier that was arguably contributed to by their illegal orders nonsense of last week.
Acting New Jersey Attorney Alina Habba is disqualified after the Trump administration violated federal law to keep her in post, a federal appeals court ruled Monday. The three-judge panel unanimously upheld a lower court's disqualification order that found Habba's appointment was non-compliant with a 1998 law governing federal vacancies. "It is apparent that the current administration has been frustrated by some of the legal and political barriers to getting its appointees in place," senior US Circuit Judge Michael D. Fisher wrote in a 32-page ruling.

Rosie O’Donnell says her daughter is holding President Donald Trump personally responsible for their relocation to Ireland and for what she sees as his broader damage to the country. "My daughter is now saying, ‘Damn him. Damn Trump,’" O’Donnell said during an appearance on "The Jim Acosta Show." She recalled her daughter pounding on a table in anger and stating, "He made us move for our own safety … and now he’s destroying the country." O’Donnell acknowledged the challenge of shielding her child from political upheaval while still confronting the realities of their situation. "She lives here. She hears what
Pastor Announces Transition

A New York pastor surprised churchgoers with the extraordinary revelation that he is transitioning into a woman and will now use she/her pronouns. Reverend Phil Phaneuf, 51, who was born male, shared that she has been undergoing a gender transition with her congregation at North Chili United Methodist Church (UMC) during Sunday service. 'I get to announce with joy that I am transitioning. I am affirming and saying to all of you that I am transgender,' the veteran pastor, wearing a rainbow stole, declared this past Sunday. ,
Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold escalated her standoff with the Trump administration this week, rejecting a request for the state’s full, unredacted voter file. “We will not comply with the Trump Department of Justice’s request for Coloradans’ sensitive voting information. The DOJ can take a hike; it does not have a legal right to the information. Colorado will not help Donald Trump undermine our elections and hurt the American people.” Colorado’s refusal comes as the DOJ expands lawsuits into at least 14 states for denying similar requests.
Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), the senior senator from New York and current Senate minority leader who certainly knows a thing or two about dangerous rhetoric and political threats, released a statement Monday afternoon alleging that "multiple bomb threats" has been made to three of his New York offices.
According to Schumer, law enforcement officials informed him that his offices in Rochester, Binghamton, and Long Island had been targeted with bomb threats from an email account with, conveniently enough, references to MAGA and the "rigged" 2020 presidential election.
For as little as $1, you can dim the sun — just a tiny bit — to save the world from climate change. At least, that’s the promise sold by a California start-up called Make Sunsets. Your dollar will pay for founder Luke Iseman to drive a Winnebago RV into the hills half an hour outside Saratoga, California, to release a balloon loaded with sulfur dioxide, an air pollutant normally spewed by volcanic eruptions. He and his 1,000 paying customers hope the balloon will burst in the stratosphere, releasing particles that will block sunlight and cool the planet. A better-funded competitor, Stardust, has raised $75 million
DENVER (KDVR) — There’s going to be a new bathhouse in the city. Picture the communal bathhouses that date back centuries, but modern with an urban garden with saunas, mineral pools and even a geothermal well to heat the tubs. That’s the plan for the area around Osage Street and Colfax Avenue. It’s known as Coba Bathhouse and was created with the idea of bringing people back together. Colorado locals Memphis Orion, the CEO, Jon Medina, the CCO and Adam Lerner, the chief strategic officer are shaping the bathhouse to do just that.
Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani tapped a convicted felon who served seven years for a string of armed robberies targeting New York City taxi drivers to advise him on the "criminal legal system."
Mysonne Linen, a rapper-turned-social justice activist, will serve on Mamdani's "criminal legal system committee," 1 of 17 committees that Mamdani created to help transition into his administration. Mamdani said the appointees "will be tasked with not only making personnel recommendations but policy recommendations."
Republican Matt Van Epps won a nationally watched special election in Tennessee for a seat in the U.S. House on Tuesday, maintaining his party’s grip on the district with help from President Donald Trump.
A military veteran and former state general services commissioner from Nashville, Van Epps defeated Democratic state Rep. Aftyn Behn to represent the 7th Congressional District.
Behn made it a relatively close race in an overwhelmingly Republican district that Trump carried by 22 percentage points in 2024. Behn ran up a huge margin in Davidson County, which is the most Democratic county in the district and home to Nashville. But Van Epps carried the rest of the district,

The mass shooting in California that killed four people, including three kids, erupted just as a toddler was cutting cake at her 2nd birthday party, according to her mom — who said the shooters “deserve to go to hell.”
The birthday girl’s mother, Patrice Williams, said partygoers dropped to the floor as soon as the gunshots rang out inside the packed banquet hall in Stockton on Saturday.
“I actually thought it was my balloons popping. It was gunshots,” Williams said.
“It was just unexpected. I don’t know what happened, and I’m just so shocked and lost.”

The facts are still emerging through the fog of war (or is it the fog of law enforcement, or the fog of antiterrorism?). Sometimes people (including myself) draw conclusions on the basis of incomplete information, so let’s start with what’s really known.
Our military launched another missile attack on a drug-smuggling fast boat. The boat burst into flames and was dead in the water but did not immediately sink. On-scene surveillance showed that not all of the 11 crew members were killed. One or two men were seen moving in the water.
