She tossed a b-b-billion dollars out the window on nonsense and bitches about a broken system. Obviously the one she was using is.

Meanwhile just for fun Cambodia to nominate Donald Trump for Nobel Peace Prize, says deputy PM

They appreciate his efforts for peace and hope this favorably impacts the tariffs. Those folks apparently read The Art f the Deal

At least if they did that you could point to the actual thing they gave him the prize for, unlike others I could name. Sixteen years on how is this all working out? Twelve of those years he had his hand directly involved in if you can believe reports of the WH visitor's log during Joe Biden's figurehead term. Nice job Barry, nice job. The world's a safer better place because of your efforts.

From Wiki: The 2009 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to United States president Barack Obama (b. 1961) for his "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples".[1] The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced the award on October 9, 2009, citing Obama's promotion of nuclear nonproliferation[2] and a "new climate" in international relations fostered by Obama, especially in reaching out to the Muslim world.

Video shows hundreds praying to Allah in park founded to remember George Washington​

Charlie Kirk has sparked debate after sharing a video showing hundreds of Muslims participating in prayer in New York, calling the Democrat city the 'third world'. The controversial political activist shared the footage that showed a large group of people gathered in Washington Square Park in New York City for prayer.

'Import the third world, become the third world', Kirk posted to his social media while sharing drone footage of the gathering, along with the caption 'This is New York City, not the Middle East.'

It remains unclear when the video was captured, but Muslims gather in the public park every year to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, the end of the holy month of Ramadan - which occurred on March 30 this year. Supporters of Kirk, who has advocated for Christian nationalism, backed his post - with many pointing out that the park and nearby arch was founded to commemorate avid Christian and founding father, George Washington.

One wrote: 'Our founding fathers could never have imagined.'

Another supporter of his added: 'It must stop!! Otherwise there will be no return from this.' While a third said: 'So if we go to Iran and occupy the town square for a Christian prayer. All good?'

And another wrote under the post: 'But if we worship God in their country we’re killed.'

Bill Maher warns Democrats of collapse: 'Whose side are you on?'​

Bill Maher delivered a scathing rebuke to Democrats on his HBO show Real Time, warning the party is headed for collapse if it continues to appease radical leftists instead of defending core Western values.

Speaking during the Overtime segment on YouTube, Maher said Democrats are gripped by an 'identity crisis' and running out of time to choose a side. 'The world is a complicated place and it's not just about oppressor and oppressed,' Maher said. 'They have a thought in their head that white people did some very bad things and white people did some very bad things, BUT so did everybody else in the world. But they don't know that, they see the world through this one prism. And until they do, I don't think you're going to get them off this issue and I don't think the Democratic Party is going to go forward until they make a decision: whose side are you on here?

'Are you on the side of Western civilization and Western values or are you on the side of the terrorists?'

He pointed to New York City Democratic Socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani as an example of how extreme the party's fringe has become. 'Are you with those kids? Because Mamdami, he's the perfect candidate for them.'

Maher's comments came just after he clashed with Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.) during the main episode over New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani - a Democratic socialist whom Maher described as dangerously radical.

'There's a lot of opposition [to Mamdani] because we've never had someone this radical,' Maher said. 'Some of the things he says, you know he quotes Marxists, 'each according to their need.' I mean, that's straight up Communism.'

As an outsider, it seems that the Democratic Party in the USA has a problem that many western political parties have that are liberal, or have been tainted by ideological liberalism: it is too broad a church and needs to split into its left and right halves.

Short video. Liz Truss explains who actually runs Britain. UK politicians have, more or less, their hands tied, but can't speak about it:


View: https://youtu.be/AT4OcuHoFhU

In short, because of de-industrialisation, Britain's towns are being hollowed out ( Ms. Truss' words ) and populations is replaced by villagers from Pakistan who refuse to learn English, much less integrate culturally. So much so that 10% of UK population is now Muslim and 4 MPs in Parliament are Muslim extremist who demand adoption of Sharia law into British law.

These policies are irrespective of elected political parties, and out of all places, are dictated directly by UK's Treasury. Which is something that confuses hell out of me. Why would Treasury want that? As well, BBC, another unelected body on taxpayers payroll, makes sure that these trends are covered by silence.

All the while, average income in London is £60k p.a., while there are parts of UK, in North, where average is income is below £20k p.a. So, there are plenty of working age people in a need of work, so hardly any immigration is needed.

Shouldn't members of Congress love America first? Not if you're a Democrat​

Like most Americans, my ancestors immigrated to the United States to make a better life for themselves and their future families. Six out of eight of my great-grandparents came from Norway. I grew up very aware of that heritage, with some Norwegian traditions passed down through the generations. Yet, neither my parents – nor my grandparents, who were first-generation Americans – have ever referred to themselves as Norwegian Americans. They are Americans. And they’re proud of it.

This country really is a melting pot of immigrants from all over the world, and that’s part of what makes America unlike any other on earth. The mutual understanding that America is a land of opportunity and that it’s an honor to call it home is what binds citizens together, even if our ancestors came from diverse parts of the globe.

Of all Americans, you’d think members of Congress would be the first to embrace utmost allegiance to their country. For some Democrats, that’s not the case. “I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American,” Illinois Rep. Delia Ramirez, a member of the Homeland Security Committee, said in Spanish to a conference last weekend of leftist leaders in Mexico City.

It’s a jarring statement coming from one of our nation’s lawmakers.

Ramirez wasn’t the only U.S. progressive in attendance at the second annual Panamerican Congress. She was joined by several other “Squad” members, progressive House lawmakers, including Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan. The event was organized in part by the leader of Progressive International, a "radical left-wing group," according to Fox News.

At the Progressive International's inaugural summit in 2020, its leaders declared that "capitalism is the virus": "We aspire to eradicate capitalism everywhere. We believe that exploitation, dispossession, and environmental destruction are written into the genetic code of capitalism. We do not support efforts to save this system, nor enable its expansion to all corners of the earth."

It makes one wonder what members of the U.S. Congress were doing there in the first place, but I digress.

Ramirez isn’t the only congresswoman to make her disdain toward our country known. Omar, who escaped war-torn Somalia as a child to come to the United States, claimed in June that America was being turned into “one of the worst countries” – presumably because she disagrees with President Donald Trump. Unlike Omar, Ramirez was born a U.S. citizen after her Guatemalan mother crossed into the country while she was pregnant with Ramirez. It’s hard to think of another country where a first-generation citizen could go from poverty to the halls of Congress. That’s not enough, however, to win Ramirez’s loyalty over the corrupt country her parents escaped.

Members of Congress take an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic,” and promise they will “bear true faith and allegiance to the same.” Ramirez’s comment on the world stage seems to defy that oath.

Once Ramirez’s anti-American comments hit social media, the pushback was swift. The White House called her words “despicable.” Republican Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tennessee, wrote: “Denaturalize, deport, and kick her off Homeland Committee. We know where her allegiances lie.” The Homeland Security X account also questioned her allegiance.

Similar sentiments were echoed across the conservative media ecosystem. The House member, for her part, has responded with defensiveness.

“Let’s call it what it is: today’s attacks are a weak attempt to silence my dissent and invalidate my patriotic criticism of the nativist, white supremacist, authoritarians in government,” Ramirez said in a statement. “It is the definition of hypocrisy that members of Congress − who betray their oath each day they enable Trump − are attacking me for celebrating my Guatemalan-American roots.”

Ramirez didn’t just celebrate her roots, however. Before world leaders, she elevated the country where her parents fled above her own. She's an American and a member of Congress. There's no defense for what she said. Ramirez owes her constituents – and the rest of us – an apology.

First Omar, Then James, Now AOC Accused of Lying About Who They're Married To - The Truth Means Nothing to Them​

It turns out some of the country's best-known and most infamous Democratic women seem to have a strangely flexible concept of marriage. While progressives tend to despise the institution, they appear to have an appreciation for it under certain circumstances (particularly circumstances involving two men and a baby). But when it really suits their personal desires and, even better, their personal finances, boy how liberals love it.

First, there was Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar, the Somalia-born immigrant, who has been credibly accused of presenting her own brother as her husband in a scam to help him move to the front of the line in obtaining immigration papers.

Next, New York Democratic Attorney General Letitia James found herself under investigation for real estate activities that reportedly included listing herself as her father's "wife" for mortgage purposes.

Then, as July drew to a close, the bipartisan House Ethics Committee issued a report on New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's attendance at the 2021 Met Gala -- a soiree of the rich and fatuous where Ocasio-Cortez appeared wearing an obnoxious "Tax the Rich" designer gown on the arm of a man who isn't her "spouse" -- by any definition of the word.

That last part matters a great deal because, according to the committee report, the New York City democratic socialist accepted a free ticket for then-boyfriend, now-fiance Riley Roberts (a beau whose status with AOC appears to depend on which form she's filling out).

And there's more to this than just a standard liberal grift.

Congressional ethics rules in force at the time, according to the report, allowed House members to accept free attendance at such events only "for themselves and either a spouse or dependent child." The report then helpfully noted that the House Ethics Manual defines "spouse" as “someone to whom you are legally married.”

To be fair, that's a footnote from page 39 of the manual, but most Americans were probably already hip to that definition without needing to be told. Ethics manuals, however, have to spell things out. Unfortunately, that's only effective if the lawmakers covered by the manual actually choose to accept the manual's definitions, which AOC did not.

According to the report, Ocasio-Cortez's legal counsel claimed "the Congresswoman chose to follow campaign finance laws," adding that such a determination "was and is a reasonable and logical conclusion to make, and the Committee should not so brazenly apply guidance limited to other sets of rules in other contexts.” In a letter to the committee, AOC attorney David Mitrani argued that the word "spouse" actually "had and has many meanings under different sets of law applicable to the Congresswoman’s actions."

Under campaign finance laws, he wrote that "a person 'who has a committed relationship with the candidate, such as sharing a household and mutual responsibility for each other’s welfare or living expenses' is treated 'as the equivalent of the candidate's spouse' for the purposes of the personal use rules." However deliberately duplicitous that sounds, lawyers get paid to make arguments like that. But the committee was having none of it.

"If counsel was unsure what guidance applied to the situation, counsel (or the congresswoman herself) should have contacted the Committee for advice, rather than 'choosing' which law to apply," the report states. "The Committee 'takes very seriously its obligation to provide sound and dispassionate advice to the Members of this House' and would have informed Representative Ocasio-Cortez and her counsel that Mr. Roberts did not fit the definition of a 'spouse' for purposes of the Charitable Events Exception."

That sounds a lot like the committee is accusing AOC of failing to ask a question because she's already decided what she wanted the answer to be -- and the actual rules be damned. This is a pattern for Democrats in the 21st century: Rules and precedents, even the definitions of words, are useful -- and used -- only insofar as they advance Democratic desires.

Just remember the utterly disgraceful circus surrounding the nomination of now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, when an out-of-the-blue accusation, with paper-thin credibility and even less evidence, essentially pushed the Senate Judiciary Committee to reopen its hearings just as the Trump nominee was on a "glidepath to party-line confirmation," as Politico described it on Monday.

Kavanaugh, to his credit, refused to buckle, and sits on the high court now, but the spectacle was enough to prove that contemporary Democrats believe in nothing beyond their own agenda -- whether it's personal or political. And that includes the concept of matrimony -- a legally defined relationship between two consenting adults, under American law, as well as a sacrament that's holy to every major denomination of Christianity, and an institution that's sacred to both Jews and Muslims.

Omar and James are claiming their innocence when it comes to the accusations about abusing the definition of "spouse" to suit their familial or financial desires, though the cases against both appear pretty strong. Ocasio-Cortez, however, has admitted what she did. But like a willfully obstinate high school student, she is arguing that the clearly relevant rule did not apply because she simply didn't want it to.

What makes this particularly powerful in a federal government bitterly divided on partisan lines is that the 10-member ethics committee -- divided equally between Republican and Democratic members -- was unanimous in its report, as the New York Post noted.

The only good news for AOC and her blind believers is that the report watered down its conclusion to say it "did not find that Representative Ocasio-Cortez’s violations were knowing and willful." But that sounds an awful lot like a sop to get the committee Democrats to go along with what's otherwise a pretty scathing document.

Almost as bad, though, was what the committee required as punishment. AOC was ordered to pay $250 -- the estimated amount of the meal her then-boyfriend consumed at the event -- where individual tickets, as the ethics committee report noted, "were sold for $35,000 each."

That's a travesty -- and any thinking adult, regardless of party, knows it. But the real lesson is even worse. Democratic policies hold marriage in pretty low regard -- as a rule, leftists do not think of holy matrimony as the foundational religious rite of human society to produce children ("male and female He created them," as Genesis puts it).

In the liberal mind, marriage is relegated to some sort of rite of passage on the path to gay rights, or nothing more than an individualistic cure for the "universal fear that a lonely person might call out only to find no one there," as then-Justice Anthony Kennedy put it in his appalling Obergefell decision that permitted so-called same-sex marriage.

The cases of Omar and James might not be proven with the finality of the one against AOC, but the cumulative evidence in all three bears out the same conclusion. Liberals love marriage -- but for all the wrong reasons. And they don't love the truth at all.

Vigilante Justice: Trump Dresses Up As Bat And Patrols Streets Of DC - The Babylon Bee​

Left without other practical options in a city overwhelmed by violent crime, President Donald Trump reportedly decided to dispense vigilante justice by dressing up like a giant bat and patrolling the streets of D.C. Following increased incidents of assaults and other crimes perpetrated in the nation's capital, reports began to surface of sightings of a "Bat-Trump" terrorizing criminals and stopping them in their tracks.

"I'm not the hero D.C. deserves, but the one it needs right now," Trump told reporters when asked about his moonlighting as a vigilante crimefighter. "I was watching what these thugs have been doing to this beautiful city, and I thought, ‘Why not take care of this problem myself?' I've got billions of dollars to spend on gadgets and vehicles, I've got a high-tech underground headquarters here at the White House… and, let's face it, I'm a strong guy. Very strong. So I've been spending my nights swinging around and beating up criminals. You should see the looks on their faces. They're scared, believe me."

According to one criminal apprehended by Bat-Trump, the ordeal was terrifying. "It was the scariest thing I've ever seen," the suspect allegedly told police. "He dangled me off a rooftop, and I told him, ‘I'll stop committing crimes, I swear to God!' and he screamed in my face, ‘SWEAR TO ME!' You should've seen the size of his hands. Please keep me in jail. I can't go back out there with that monster."

At publishing time, President Trump had reportedly ordered staffers to outfit Vice President JD Vance with a red costume with a yellow cape and green Speedos to wear as his sidekick.

Hillary Clinton says she'd nominate Trump for Nobel prize if he brokers peace between Russia, Ukraine​

One of President Donald Trump’s fiercest rivals admitted Friday that he should get the Nobel Peace Prize if he pulled off an end to Russia’s war with Ukraine ahead of his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska.

Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, appearing on the "Raging Moderates" podcast, said she would nominate Trump for the award if he was successful in getting Putin to end his war and give back all the territory his forces took from Ukraine in the conflict.

"You know, look, if we could pull that off, if President Trump were the architect of that, I'd nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize," she said during the interview.

Trump and Putin are set to meet face-to-face in Anchorage at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson – Alaska’s largest military installation – on Friday. The summit marks the first time in 10 years that Putin has been hosted on American soil.

The president has expressed hope that the meeting will lead to peace between Russia and Ukraine in the near future, noting that a more immediate goal for Friday’s meeting would be to secure a second meeting with the Russian president.

He told a reporter in the Oval Office on Thursday, "And if it's a bad meeting, it'll end very quickly. And if it’s a good meeting, we're gonna end up getting peace in the pretty near future."

Clinton said that there are several things Trump needs to get Putin to agree to if he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.

"But maybe this is the opportunity to make it clear that there must be a ceasefire, there will be no exchange of territory, and that, over a period of time, Putin should be actually withdrawing from the territory he seized in order to demonstrate his good faith efforts, let us say, not to threaten European security," she said.

The former chief U.S. diplomat said that if Trump could negotiate those conditions, then she’d nominate him, adding, "because my goal here is to not allow capitulation to Putin, aided and abetted by the United States."

"I think that’s a terrible, terrible precedent, and I think it would make our country less safe, I think it will reward Putin’s aggression, and he will not stop. We know that," Clinton added.

Clinton mentioned that it's a "dream" of hers that Trump will be successful during the upcoming meeting and said that if the Nobel Peace Prize is enough motivation for Trump to get that dream realized, then he should get it.

"And I'm dreaming that, for whatever combination of reasons, including the elusive Nobel Peace Prize, President Trump may actually stand up to Putin on behalf of, not just Ukraine and its democracy and its very brave people, but frankly, on behalf of our own security and interests," she said.

There is no such thing as an unbiased outlet, they're all slanted in one direction or the other. Nothing really new as that existed in the days of print going way back but the immediacy of it all has a sociological impact.

Recently I was given an online subscription to the New York Times. Interesting. Now that I've been using it all I can say is 'oh my God .....' what an odious pile that is.

But as far as imparting real information not so much.

On a non-political not I now go back and look at that 2017 Leslie Keane article about UFOs and in conjunction with the Washington Post's less that stellar coverage of the Malmstrom incidents and know for certain that a big name does not veracity make. Hell, the National Enquirer got things exactly right once in a while and at least they are honest about what they are.

Disturbing video shows lawmaker 'stuffing migrant ballots' in swing state that Trump only narrowly won by 80,000 votes​

A chilling video has allegedly shown a lawmaker accompanying a friend who stuffed ballots in a swing state that Donald Trump only won by just over 80,000 votes. Abu Musa, a city council member of Hamtramck, Michigan, was in the passenger seat handing several bundles of what appear to be absentee ballots to the driver. Musa then watches the driver deposit three stacks of ballots into a drop box.

Michigan State Police confirmed the authenticity of the clip, which was filmed on August 1. It is part of an investigation into council members’ residency requirements. The alleged ballot box stuffing incident took place just before the city's latest primary election on August 5 - which Musa won with more than 1,129 votes. The video comes days after two of Musa's councilmen colleagues, Muhtasin Sadman and Mohammed Hassan, were charged over forging ballots in the city's tightly fought 2023 election. Musa was previously named as 'under investigation' in the same conspiracy - but was not charged at the time.

According to a document by Attorney General Dana Nessel requesting a special prosecutor in the 2023 case, Musa's colleagues 'conspired to receive unvoted absentee ballots that had been signed by recently naturalized citizens.' The accused then allegedly proceeded to 'fill in the candidates of their choosing' during the city's 2023 elections, according to the document issued in April. Musa received the most votes in the August 5 primary election, per unofficial election results released on August 6 - receiving 12.5 percent of total votes in a field of 12 candidates. Of the total 1,129 votes received by Musa, 843 were cast by absentee ballot. The 286 total of election day votes received by Musa is only the fifth-highest tally.

Hamtramck's council was embroiled in the election forgery scandal earlier this year - and Sadman and Hassan were charged on August 11. Musa and another council member, Mohammed Alsomiri, were not charged at the time. The drama was ramped up when Attorney General Nessel then decided to recuse herself from the investigation because of criticism she had faced in the past. Nessel, a Jewish lesbian, previously criticized policy positions taken by the Muslim-majority council to ban Pride flags from being flown on city-owned property.

The Michigan Attorney General had also faced harsh scrutiny for her prosecutions of pro-Palestinian protestors at the University of Michigan in the wake of October 7. Nessel was additionally accused of prosecuting the campus protestors due to 'bias against Muslims and/or people of Arab descent.' She foresaw similar criticisms coming her way in this ballot forgery case, as five of the defendants 'are of Arab descent' - therefore she removed herself. Hamtamack, a city in Metro Detroit, has a population just over 28,000 residents, which is over 70 percent Muslim. The city became the first in America to be governed by an all-Muslim council in 2022.

Trump to ban mail-in ballots and voting machines in executive power play​

In a dramatic social media announcement on Monday, President Donald Trump declared he will sign an executive order targeting both mail-in ballots and voting machines ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. He characterized the current system as “highly inaccurate,” “very expensive,” and “seriously controversial,” and argued that replacing it with “watermark paper” would be faster and far more reliable. Taking to Truth Social, the president ranted about the popular form of voting.

"I am going to lead a movement to get rid of MAIL-IN BALLOTS, and also, while we’re at it, Highly “Inaccurate,” Very Expensive, and Seriously Controversial VOTING MACHINES, which cost Ten Times more than accurate and sophisticated Watermark Paper, which is faster, and leaves NO DOUBT, at the end of the evening, as to who WON, and who LOST, the Election," Trump wrote. "We are now the only Country in the World that uses Mail-In Voting."

According to the president, "All others gave it up because of the MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD ENCOUNTERED." Trump added, "WE WILL BEGIN THIS EFFORT, WHICH WILL BE STRONGLY OPPOSED BY THE DEMOCRATS BECAUSE THEY CHEAT AT LEVELS NEVER SEEN BEFORE, by signing an EXECUTIVE ORDER to help bring HONESTY to the 2026 Midterm Elections."

"Remember, the States are merely an 'agent' for the Federal Government in counting and tabulating the votes," he added. "They must do what the Federal Government, as represented by the President of the United States, tells them, FOR THE GOOD OF OUR COUNTRY, to do."

"With their HORRIBLE Radical Left policies, like Open Borders, Men Playing in Women’s Sports, Transgender and “WOKE” for everyone, and so much more, Democrats are virtually Unelectable without using this completely disproven Mail-In SCAM," Trump further added. The president went on to say that elections can "never be honest with mail-in ballots or voting."

"I, AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, WILL FIGHT LIKE HELL TO BRING HONESTY AND INTEGRITY BACK TO OUR ELECTIONS," Trump proclaimed. "THE MAIL-IN BALLOT HOAX, USING VOTING MACHINES THAT ARE A COMPLETE AND TOTAL DISASTER, MUST END, NOW!!!"

"REMEMBER, WITHOUT FAIR AND HONEST ELECTIONS, AND STRONG AND POWERFUL BORDERS, YOU DON’T HAVE EVEN A SEMBLANCE OF A COUNTRY Trump concluded. "THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA."

Earlier this year, the Trump administration enacted the Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections Act, which introduced sweeping reforms to protect U.S. elections from fraud, foreign interference, and systemic error. Several of the principal mandates of the order include:

1) Enforcing documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration in federal elections

2) Sets a deadline for receiving mail-in (postal) ballots by election day.

3) Requires recertification of voting systems to meet updated security, accessibility and performance standards.

4) Tightens restrictions against foreign interference in elections.

It was also reported that the order threatens to withhold federal funding from states that do not comply. "Free, fair, and honest elections unmarred by fraud, errors, or suspicion are fundamental to maintaining our constitutional Republic," the order reads.

Indiana woman, 50, travels to DC to kidnap and ASSASSINATE Trump​

A woman has been arrested after she traveled from New York to Washington D.C. while making death threats against President Donald Trump. Nathalie Rose Jones, a 50-year-old woman from Indiana, was arrested in Washington on Saturday after participating in a protest outside the White House and charged with two felonies related to her threats. US Attorney Jeanine Pirro, a Trump ally and former Fox News anchor, announced the woman's arrest on Monday and vowed 'she will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.' 'Threatening the life of the President is one of the most serious crimes and one that will be met with swift and unwavering prosecution. Make no mistake - justice will be served,' Pirro said.

Extraordinary social media posts seen by the Daily Mail on Jones' account beginning on August 2 detail the woman's apparent unhinged threats and attempts to have Trump removed from office before she made the trip to D.C. 'I am willing to sacrificially kill this POTUS by disemboweling him and cutting out his trachea with Liz Cheney and all The Affirmation present,' a post from her account read on August 6.

I love it. Reading the NY Times this morning their heads are caving in saying this is all just kow-towing to DT. Maybe so but they can obviously tell the difference between an actual leader and an autopen.
