OPM blunders orchestrated by Trump are going to cost federal retirees who receive a pension/annuity…
Trump is extorting tax dollars from federal retirees. The annual COLA increase for TY2026 is scheduled to pay out in January 2026 (as always).
The grift…
Trump added the increase on the OPM site to the final annuity payment for December 2025, but annuitants were NOT paid the additional funds on the December 2025 payment. So, you will pay taxes on money you DID NOT receive in TY2025; and your 1099R for TY2025 will be incorrect.
If you login to your OPM account, you will find the annuity check direct deposited into your account on December 1, 2025, is LESS THAN the amount documented in the payment summary on the OPM Retirement Services website.
Meaning…the 1099R for TY2025 is incorrect and could possibly push the retiree into a higher tax bracket on money, NOT received. This blatant error ensures that each annuitant pays more taxes on money they did NOT receive at the end 2025.
If you call OPM 1 (888) 767-6738, the automated number advises you of the high call volume and promptly hangs up in your face. You may opt to send a message in the online portal, but you only get 200 characters to explain the problem and you do NOT receive confirmation (as you did in the past) that your inquiry was received.
Recommendation: Exhaust all avenues to contact OPM if you are a government retiree and contact your congressman.

But if Susie Wiles is dumped, she will feel far more obligated to dish the dirt on Trump. I am looking forward to hearing more about what seems to a really bad soap opera. Someone watching this would likely say that this is entertaining in a way but something that could never happen in real life.
“This was Susie Wiles plotting her escape plan. This is not Susie Wiles flat-footed. She is a smart, smart lady.
She’s absolutely in bed with Russia…she understands when the legal heat is coming. She understands when the bottom of the boat is about to fall out and everybody’s going to fucking drown.
What Susie Wiles did with Vanity Fair was effectively, basically saying, ‘I’m out.’.
This country’s being run by drug addicts and children with scores to settle.
They’re not interested in the governance of the United States of America.
Susie Wiles made sure that all of that came out.
Donald Trump’s Chief of Staff gave us unfettered acess into a world we already knew existed. What you should be surprised by is Trump’s Chief of Staff, the second most powerful position in American sold Donald Trump and his entire regime down the river…The one reason she did it , she knows what’s coming and THAT should be encouraging to everyone that’s watching….”
Stephen Miller needs Susie Wiles as husband cover. Miller has the face and behavior of Goebbels; most people despise Miller. Truly, I think Susie Wiles thinks she has a nice gig as "house morher" for this corrupt Animal House.
Senator, everyone knows that the president is a POS. Nothing new here. The thing you should be focusing on is giving people something better to vote for.
HEGSETH AND RUBIO REFUSE TO RELEASE VIDEO OF THE TWO SURVIVORS OF THE SEPT 2 ATTACK STANDING ON OR CLINGING TO THEIR CAPSIZED BOAT WAVING THEIR ARMS BEFORE THEY WERE KILLED BY A SECOND MISSILE
American Jurisprudence Allows Judges to Authorize a Jury To Draw a Negative Inference Against a Party Withholding Evidence.
In addition to the issue as to whether Trump’s and Hegseth’s orders to the military to blow up and kill all occupants of boats on the high seas suspected of transporting drugs was legal in the first place, it is clearly a violation of international law, U.S. laws and the U.S. Military Code to kill captives, survivors, and those surrendering or seeking to surrender or other non-combatants.
To those who have seen the video, the interpretations of the two survivors waving their arms go from one extreme to the other, depending upon one’s own point of view.
On the one side are those who contend that the survivors were clearly noncombatants in the first place who displayed no threat whatsoever to the U.S. military and and who were looking upward to the sky and apparently waving arms to surrender.
On the other side, are those who claim that the survivors may have been seeking support from confederates (who were nowhere in sight) to rescue them and recover whatever drugs had not been sunk.
There is no dispute that the initial standing orders were to blow up boats on the high seas suspected of transporting drugs and to kill those on board in the explosion.
Whatever interpretation is the most compelling, it is patently clear that neither Trump, nor Hegseth, nor Rubio nor the U.S. Department of War are willing to trust the American people to form their own opinion.
But there is a solution to this. It is a solution that has been long ingrained in American jurisprudence.
Rather than publish a long brief on this issue, I will sum it up in a nutshell, followed by an abbreviated summary of these issues using AI.
There is a standard charge which a judge may give to a jury where one party possesses evidence that may be determinative of the case but refuses to turn it over. In such a case, the judge may instruct the jury that they may infer that such evidence was damaging or unfavorable to the party withholding the evidence.
Applying this standard jury charge to the Trump administration’s withholding of the video from the American public, the American people may rightfully conclude that the video portrayed the survivors as non-combatants who were waving to be rescued and who presented no threat
For those who wish to delve into the longer version of this charge, I offer the following succinct AI explanation as follows:
“A judge can give the jury an adverse inference instruction (often referred to as a “missing evidence” or “spoliation” instruction), which allows them to infer that the unproduced evidence would have been unfavorable or damaging to the party that refused to turn it over.
Key Details
Adverse Inference: This is a legal principle where the court permits the jury to assume that relevant, controlled evidence which a party failed to produce (without a reasonable explanation) would have been damaging to that party’s case.
Judge’s Discretion: The decision to issue this instruction is generally within the judge’s discretion and depends on the specific circumstances, including:
The degree of fault or culpability (e.g., intentional, reckless, or negligent destruction/withholding) by the party.
The degree of prejudice suffered by the opposing party.
Whether the evidence was relevant and material to the case.
“Worst Possible Light”: While the exact phrasing may vary by jurisdiction and the judge’s specific instructions, the effect is to allow the jury to view the absence of the evidence in a light most favorable to the opposing party’s case and least favorable to the withholding party.
Sanction: The adverse inference instruction is a type of sanction for “spoliation” of evidence (destruction or failure to preserve evidence) and serves to level the playing field for the party that was prejudiced by the withholding. Other potential sanctions can include fines, preclusion of other evidence, or even dismissal of claims or defenses.
Civil vs. Criminal Cases: This instruction is more common in civil cases. In U.S. criminal cases, a defendant has Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination, so a judge must instruct the jury not to draw any negative inferences from a defendant’s decision not to testify. However, the principle can apply in criminal cases regarding other physical or documentary evidence that a party (including the prosecution, under certain circumstances) fails to produce.
A party seeking such an instruction must usually show that the other party had an obligation to preserve the evidence, control over it, and no reasonable explanation for its absence.
I recall this specific Federal Rule of Evidence applies more often in civil cases. Trump has also been known to engage in spoliation of evidence in many of his civil cases. That can also lead to negative inferences.
Trump Declares Fentanyl a "Weapon of Mass Destruction"
Is There a Hidden Agenda in this Declaration?
On Monday, December 15, 2025 President Trump, surrounded by the nation’s military leaders in full uniform in his gold encrusted Oval Office, signed an executive order classifying fentanyl as a “weapon of mass destruction” (”WMD”), This purports to give the U.S. government additional legal justification for combatting the illegal trafficking of the synthetic drug.
Let us remember that claims that Iraq possessed WMDs were used as a legal justification for the invasion of Iraq and the overthrow of Saddam Hussein during the George W. Bush administration. This may lead to speculation that this declaration would provide legal cover for Trump to authorize military strikes against drug cartels within Venezuela, Colombia and Mexico trafficking in this drug.
The timing and context of this announcement should not go unnoticed, nor should the possible implications of Trump’s re-definition of this narcotic as a “weapon of mass destruction”.
To put this all in context, let’s remember that Trump recently hyperbolized the terms “drug smugglers” and “drug runners” as “Narco-Terrorists”, which he then used as a pretext to justify deploying the U.S. military to blow up boats on the high seas that were suspected of transporting drugs and the killing of everyone on board.
While Trump focused his attention on deploying the military to prevent the introduction of these “weapons of mass destruction” into the United States, he omitted the next logical question of whether he intends to use our military domestically to combat the sale of fentanyl within the United States. The absence at Trump’s press conference of representatives of the Drug Enforcement Administration, which is responsible for combatting the domestic introduction and sale of this newly defined “weapon of mass destruction” within the U.S. , was glaring.
And let us recall the remark that Trump made to our top military leaders when he convened them for his lecture: “We’re under invasion from within. No different than a foreign enemy but more difficult in many ways because they don’t wear uniforms.”This remark by Trump was reminiscent of and consistent with his notorious proclamations during the Presidential campaign that “We pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country” and that “The threat from outside forces is far less sinister, dangerous, and grave than the threat from within. Our threat is from within”.
Does all this raise the prospect of the following two possible hidden agendas?
1. Is Trump’s proclamation among his military staff redefining the narcotic fentanyl as a “weapon of mass destruction” designed to eventually mobilize the U.S. military to put boots on the ground within the United States to carry this war into our cities and countryside, leaving the DEA to address other less threatening narcotics? Is this all part of a pretext by Trump to ultimately expand the presence of our military throughout the United States with Trump as the Commander-in-Chief of our armed forces? Such a prevalent presence might give rise to further speculation that we’re turning into a fascist state.
2. Let us remember that Trump has, on more than one occasion, either engaged in active warfare, as in bombing Iran, or deployed the military to blow up boats and kill its occupants on the high seas, both of which distracted the public’s attention away from serious personal humiliations for Trump. Therefore, one has to wonder how coincidental it is that this press conference was being held only 4 days before the Trump administration is legally required to divulge the huge quantity of the Jeffrey Epstein related photos and documents to the American people. This is, indeed, an incredible coincidence.
Fentanyl gets made in Mexico by drug cartels who use American citizens to smuggle fentanyl into the country. The drug cartels import the chemicals to create fentanyl from China. The cartels became more powerful once Felipe Calderón militarized the drug war in Mexico. Unfortunately, I could see Trump and Kegseth being stupid enough to try and gin up a war against Mexico because the cartels are smuggling drugs. That would be even more asinine. President Sheinbaum doesn’t support the cartels either, and they are a law unto themselves.
Thank you, as always, Senator Schiff, for your hard work and continued efforts to communicate with and educate your constituents on the daily scandals of the Trump presidency. The Succession clips were perfect; as were the freeze frames of the Wiles subjects as she skewered them in her Vanity Fair interview. It is exhausting to keep up with the corruption, extremism and cruelty of this administration. Thank you for condensing the day’s events into these evening briefings. Your calm demeanor and sense of humor are reassuring, as are your outrage and your ongoing fight for democracy and justice. Keep up the good work!
I relish hearing your input about this ongoing nightmare…thanks, Senator Schiff! 💙💙💙
Why aren’t the bombshells in this interview getting more press? This is so damning for the regime!
The press is either fearful or sycophants 😵💫

Do you really think Trump will keep Susie on after insulting him and his cabinet?
Yes, I do. Trump values winning above else. Susie was his strategic anchor for the 2024 campaign.
Maybe. Time will tell. I thought she wanted to salvage her career.

Yes and .... the reason Trump wants control of Venezuela is because of their massive oil fields.
so dignified, is your Senator Schiff. Thank god I don't have to be that dignified when I talk about the repulsive loser Trump....
Thank you for clarifying Susie Wiles statement on Trump’s motivations for invading Venezuela.
& on his personality, which he apparently modified today
Trump is OCD. NOONE CAN CHANGE THE RULER BY RETRIBUTION!
Thank you for all you do Senator!
Good grief they keep moving the football….
Trump and his are corrupted. The work the you do is special.
