How about that special ops officer who bet $33K in the "Predictions Market” on the timing of the removal of Madura and made $400K. The DoJ just came after him, indicting him on charges of using confidential information for personal gain and theft of non-public government information.

I am becoming more and more skeptical of everything. In my immediate response to the Vrabel-Rusnni caper I thougtht they were picture edited out of context designed for internet sensationalism. But now it seems quite apparent that something was brewing between the two.

The revenge policies of the WH seem to be going global this week as an email surfaced about the US reconsidering UK’s sovereignty over the Falkaland and a push to remove Spain from Nato, This is because the Prez is unhappy with the response from these nations to his Iran situation.
