There’s no sympathy for Bob Menendez at all; however, all things considered, he was convicted of doing the same thing that every Senator on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee does, and the same thing that Joe Biden did for decades… Sell the influence of their office to foreign countries. They all do it.
The difference with Senator Bob Menendez was only that he was so open about doing it, and he dropped all the pretenses that usually provide the plausible deniability factor. Today the judge sentenced him to 11-years in federal prison.
WASHINGTON – […] A jury in July found Menendez, along with Edgewater developer Fred Daibes and Egyptian American businessman Wael Hana, guilty on all charges related to the bribery scheme. Daibes was sentenced to seven years in prison and fined $1.75 million. Hana was sentenced to a little more than eight years in prison and fined $1.3 million. Menendez was not fined for his part in the corruption.
The trial hinged on accusations that Menendez used his political might to influence criminal investigations involving the two businessmen and helped direct billions in U.S. aid to Egypt to bolster their business dealings. In exchange, Menendez and his wife, Nadine Arslanian Menendez, received gifts including gold bars, cash and luxury cars.
Menendez, 71, represented New Jersey for more than 18 years in the U.S. Senate. He resigned in August after the convictions. (read more)
I have been following what goes on in DC since the 90’s as I was retired and had more time to do the required work. It also allowed me more time to get involved in veterans affairs. I belong to the Special Forces Association, the VFW. the Vetnam Veterans of America, Disabled American Feterans and The American Legion. For those that do not know me I am a Disabled Vederan from wounds from Viteman in 1967. My story is posted on this blog (link https://centinel2012.com/category/my-military-subjects/)
Green berets are a tight group that take care of ther own. And I saw something yesterday (January 22, 2025. I on the War Room and it was a discussion between Steve Bannon and Laura Logan about a retired Green Beret, Master Sergeant Jeremy Brown
Jeremy Brown is a retired U.S. Army Special Forces Master Sergeant who was arrested by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force in September 2021. He was accused of espionage and possession of stolen military explosives, charges he denies. Brown claims that the FBI attempted to recruit him to illegally spy on American citizens, which he refused. He was denied bond for 15 months and was sentenced to 87 months in federal prison. His supporters argue that the evidence used against him was fake and planted, and they are currently appealing his conviction. You can find more information about his case and support his legal fight on the website JeremyBrownDefense.com.
From my knowledge of the way the FBI operates, I personaly believe that he was framed and is innocent of what the FBI claims. And based on what has tranpired in 2015 to President Trump I believe he has been framed by the corrupt FBI.
Here is the discussion on the War room …
This post is to get the message out to the past and present Green Berets that Master Sergeant Brown needs our support!

The population of the United States grew by 1% to 340.1 million in 2024, according to the US Census Bureau, marking the largest population increase since 2000. The nation has added nearly 58 million over that 24-year period, but there certainly has not been a baby boom.
The birthrate in America has been declining for decades. As of November 2024, 3.31 million newborns were born on US soil. The overall birthrate declined 0.12% from 2023 to 12 births per 1000 people. There were around 3.05 million deaths in the US last year, with the average life expectancy reaching 75.8 years for men and 81.1 years for women. It is true that the population would have remained relatively stagnant if not for new immigrants. People are living longer, but there has not been a notable increase in recent years.
However, the population rise is due to ILLEGAL migration. About 1.2 million people legally immigrated to America in 2024. Around 756,000 immigrants were granted family-sponsored green cards, 197,000 received employment visas, and 67,000 received diversity visas.
The US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reported 3 million inadmissible encounters last year, marking a 50% increase from 2021 at the beginning of Joe Biden’s term. Around 1.45 million encounters occurred at an entry point in 2024. Estimates state there were 2 million “known gotaways” who snuck into the US illegally but the true figure cannot be calculated. No one can calculate exactly how many people entered the nation under Biden’s open border catastrophe but there have been around 11 million encounters at the border if that is of any indication.
The large Baby Boomer generation is aging, and fertility rates are declining. The United States has always been a melting pot of migrants from throughout the world. However, the dynamic has shifted in recent years as there are far more illegal, unvetted migrants arriving in the US who cannot legally work and are draining our economic resources while expanding the welfare state. The composition of the United States will be far different from what it is today if this trend continues.

I am very interested in this, in part due to what Suchir Balaji was working on, and in part due to what many people are now starting to recognize as the most valuable asset in the world of AI creation, MASS DATA COLLECTION.
Tucker Carlson sits down with Poornima Ramarao, the mother of Suchir Balaji, who was an AI engineer working with Sam Altman at OpenAI, and quite likely murdered for his concern about how the mass data was being captured.
The effectiveness of the AI construct is dependent on large scale mass data collection to frame the underlying information network the AI can review. The larger the data capture, the more accurate, effective and valuable the AI outcome is. More inputs equal more reviewable data, equal a more comprehensive outcome; that’s the value. Suchir Balaji became concerned that OpenAI was capturing “copyrighted” material as part of the input data flow. Suchir Balaji soon died under mysterious circumstances. [¹I’ll explain my concern after the video]

¹If you understand the competitive nature of this emerging tech business, specifically as it relates to the multi-billion dollars invested in the AI race to create the best product, then you frame the construct of what is most valuable within the industry.
The more comprehensive and massive the database is, the larger the mass data collection baseline is, the more valuable the AI product is when it is deployed. The AI here is essentially advanced search algorithms that allow the user to ask questions.
The AI does the search, the library that supports the outcome is what creates the value of the end product, the result to the question.
As a consequence, the library or database holding the previously assembled data, is worth hundreds-of-billions. The AI return result is more accurate with more data to review.
All of the thinking, analysis, mental labor and analysis on every subject in the world being fed into a massive data collection system, creates incredibly accurate AI results. However, much of that data is proprietary, copyrighted and exclusively owned by the person who created it, or institution that commissioned the work.
Suchir Balaji was in charge of scooping up data, enmeshing it in the OpenAI library and noticed that some of the captured information was proprietary, copyrighted. Balaji raised alarms and eventually became a whistleblower, because he saw OpenAI was now capturing the exclusive mental work product of others and then adding it to their AI system to create even more value.
I hope that context makes sense, because it’s the baseline for my concern with Larry Ellison, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Vivek Ramaswamy, David Sacks and the tech bros who are also part of this advanced autonomous AI competition. There are trillions at stake.
Is DOGE really about government efficiency?… Or…
Is it possible that DOGE is just a false front while simultaneously carrying a larger, unspoken goal of accessing the largest data collection system in the world, the NSA database containing the full spectrum metadata of every American and every electronic communication intercept on earth.
AI is valued based on mass data collection to create the library for the software to access. Is there a larger data collection system than the United States Government? The answer is no.
AI running on the backbone of the full NSA-level data collection, would be the most valuable AI in the world.
Think about it.
What are the real motives and intentions of the Tech Bros here in MAGA world, and the billionaires behind them?

Nothing in DC is a coincidence when it happens at this level.
Doug Collins, Doug Burgum and Pete Hegseth were all scheduled for committee confirmation hearings today (January 14). However, as noted in the statements and activity by Democrats in opposition, including Senator Chuck Schumer, they wanted to focus on targeting Hegseth first.
Well, what coincidentally happens? The FBI reports on Collins and Burgum are coincidentally delayed, and as a result there will only be one confirmation hearing today… and that will be for Pete Hegseth. Huh, imagine that?
WASHINGTON DC – The Senate confirmation hearing slated for Tuesday for President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to run the Department of Veterans Affairs, former Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.), has been postponed to Jan. 21 — the latest snag for one of Trump’s selections.
Senate Veterans’ Affairs Chair Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) said in a statement Monday that Collins has submitted necessary paperwork in a “timely manner” and has been “transparent and forthcoming” with the panel. However, he added, the FBI has not finished its background check of the nominee, who was supposed to have his confirmation hearing on Tuesday morning.
It’s the second Trump selection in a single day to see their hearing delayed due to paperwork delays. Doug Burgum, Trump’s pick to run the Interior Department, was the first: He had been slated for a hearing Tuesday, too, but it was bumped to Thursday. (read more)
As noted by Politico: “The treatment of Hegseth — the most high-profile of Trump’s nominees to face senators — will also set the tone for how the rest of the picks will fare. This includes how hard Democrats are willing to push the nominees, and whether Republicans will come to their defense or let them squirm.”
