David Cameron looks better with his Baron robe.

He should be required to wear it everywhere.

And carry a wine glass everywhere and drink frequently.

At this point, give half of the USA to Baron Cameron, as his new Barony.

There's always someone dumber...

Michael Cohen's troubles just keep coming.

In the yearslong legal saga over his connection to the hush money payments from Donald Trump to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, Cohen's lawyer filed a motion to end his supervised release early in a filing at the end of November.

In it, Cohen's lawyer, David M. Schwartz, cites three District Court decisions as a rationale for the move.

The problem? Those cases aren't real.

“As far as the Court can tell, none of these cases exist,” U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman wrote in a Tuesday order, which asks Schwartz to provide evidence the cases exist by next Tuesday or face sanctions.

That might be a hard task, given that, when contacted, the circuit court that the order says affirmed the cases found “no record of any of the three decisions,” wrote Furman, an appointee of President Barack Obama.

The cases, regardless of how and why they were cited, certainly amount to further headaches for the 57-year-old Cohen — who at one point earlier this year was considering a run for Congress in New York's 12th Congressional District, the historic Manhattan-based seat currently held by Rep. Jerry Nadler.

Schwartz did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the cases. Cohen hung up the phone when POLITICO called asking for comment.

The case at hand began in August 2018, when Cohen admitted in court that Trump had directed him to coordinate payments to two women in exchange for their staying silent about interactions with Trump during his first presidential campaign.

Gut the US military by 95%.

Javier Milei's minister of economy just announced an "emergency package" of measures to completely balance the budget in 2024 equivalent to over 5% of GDP.

This would be equivalent to a $1.4 trillion austerity package in a single year in the U.S. economy.

The measures include:…

• Gov. Hobbs, a Democrat, publicly released her scathing letter to Biden on Friday

• She demands half a billion in reimbursement for the 'failure to secure our border'

• CBP closed Arizona's Lukeville port of entry as illegal crossings hit one-day high

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, has accused President Joe Biden of failing to secure the southern border, and is seeking half a billion dollars in federal reimbursement for the state's spending on the crisis

In a letter on Friday, which Hobbs released publicly, the governor requested more than $512 million in federal funds to reimburse state spending on migrant transport, drug interdiction, and law enforcement 'due to the federal government's failure to secure our border.'

It comes after Customs and Border Protection encounters with migrants at the southern border reportedly hit a one-day high of 12,000 on Tuesday, including more than 10,200 who were detained illegally entering the US from Mexico between ports of entry.

On Monday, CBP closed the Lukeville border crossing in Arizona indefinitely, in order to surge agents from the crossing to help arrest and process a flood of migrants walking across the border to claim asylum.

The desolate area around the remote crossing has become a global migration route in recent months, with smugglers dropping off people from countries as far flung as Senegal, India and China.

Most of them are walking into the US west of Lukeville through gaps in the wall, then turn east toward the official border crossing to surrender to the first agents they see to claim asylum, according to the AP.

Hobbs in her letter slammed the closing of the Lukeville crossing, saying it 'has led to an unmitigated humanitarian crisis in the area and has put Arizona's safety and commerce at risk.'

'Our ports of entry are essential to our state and our country's economy, and it is vial that they be properly staffed and resourced to continue to fuel economic growth in the state,' she added.

Hobbs called for National Guard members who are currently on active federal duty be mobilized to assist CBP in manning the Lukeville crossing, so it can be reopened.

The White House and CBP did not immediately respond to requests for comment from DailyMail.com on Saturday morning.

In a statement last week, CBP said it was 'surging all available resources to expeditiously and safely process migrants' and will 'continue to prioritize our border security mission as necessary in response to this evolving situation

The agency blamed the hundreds of people arriving daily around Lukeville on 'smugglers peddling disinformation to prey on vulnerable individuals

Alongside Governor Hobbs, Arizona Senators Mark Kelly and Kyrsten Sinema have slammed the Lukeville closure and demanded better solutions from Biden's administration.

'This is an an unacceptable outcome that further destabilizes our border, risks the safety of our communities, and damages our economy by disrupting trade and tourism,' they said in a joint statement

The Federal Government must act swiftly to maintain port of entry operations, get the border under control, keep Arizona communities safe, and ensure the humane treatment of migrants.'

Kelly and Hobbs, both Democrats, and Sinema, an independent who was elected as a Democrat, also criticized 'partisan politicians who parrot talking points while watching the border further deteriorate.'

They said those politicians should instead 'reject the echo chamber and work with us to get something done and keep our communities safe.'

An average of 3,140 people in vehicles and 184 pedestrians entered the U.S. daily in Lukeville during October, according to the U.S. Transportation Department's latest figures.

Travelers will still be able to cross into or out of the United States through Nogales, Arizona, a three-hour drive to the east, or San Luis, Arizona, a two-hour drive to the west.

CBP has not commented on when the Lukeville crossing will reopen

A 30-year-old New Hampshire man has been arrested after prosecutors accused him of threatening to kill presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.

Tyler Anderson of Dover is charged with making an interstate threat. He appeared in federal court in New Hampshire on Monday afternoon and is being held pending a detention hearing on Thursday.

If convicted, Anderson could face up to five years in prison, followed by up to three years of supervised release, plus a fine of up to $250,000, according to federal prosecutors.

Anderson threatened to “blow” Ramaswamy's “brains out” in a text message sent in a response to one from the candidate's campaign informing him of an event Monday morning in Portsmouth, according to charging documents.

He also wrote that he was “going to kill everyone who attends and then [expletive] their corpses,” documents show.

The documents did not identify Ramaswamy or his campaign as the target. But Ramaswamy's campaign said in a statement that his security team “worked closely” with law enforcement in apprehending Anderson.

“We're going to let the investigators do their work and figure out who this person is and what their motives might be,” a Ramaswamy spokesperson said. “We will, however, say this: we constantly hear about January 6 and ‘violence' and ‘extremism on the right' from the media, but the same media goes silent when the target is a Republican.”

Anderson also allegedly admitted to sending “similar threatening text messages to multiple other campaigns,” according to court documents.

It is the first time the Biden administration has declared an emergency to expedite arms shipments to the Middle East, which are controversial because of the civilian death toll from Israeli airstrikes.

The State Department is pushing through a government sale to Israel of 13,000 rounds of tank ammunition, bypassing a congressional review process that is generally required for arms sales to foreign nations, according to a State Department official and an online post by the Defense Department on Saturday.

The State Department notified congressional committees at 11 p.m. on Friday that it was moving ahead with the sale, valued at more than $106 million, even though Congress had not finished an informal review of a larger order from Israel for tank rounds.

The department invoked an emergency provision in the Arms Export Control Act, the State Department official and a congressional official told The New York Times. Both spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivities over the sales. The arms shipment has been put on an expedited track, and Congress has no power to stop it.

The Defense Department posted a notification of the sale before noon on Saturday. It said Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken had informed Congress on Friday that “an emergency exists that requires the immediate sale.”

It is the first time that the State Department had invoked the emergency provision for an arms shipment to the Middle East since May 2019, when Secretary of State Mike Pompeo approved weapons sales to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, a move that was criticized by lawmakers and some career officials inside the State Department.

The State Department has used the emergency provision at least two times since 2022 to rush arms to Ukraine for its defense against Russia's invasion.

But in the case of the Israel-Gaza war, there has been growing condemnation in the United States and abroad of the way Israel is carrying out its offensive. The State Department's decision to bypass Congress appeared to reflect an awareness of some Democratic lawmakers' criticism of the Biden administration for supplying arms to Israel with no conditions or scrutiny.

Israeli airstrikes and ground operations have killed more than 15,000 Palestinians in Gaza, and about 40 percent of those fatalities have been children, according to the health ministry in Gaza. The war started on Oct. 7 when Hamas launched cross-border attacks in Israel, killing at least 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and abducting about 240 others, according to Israeli authorities.

Thirteen Democratic senators announced Thursday that they were working on legislation to require greater evidence from nations receiving U.S. weapons that their militaries are not committing war crimes.

The sale is certain to infuriate Arab leaders, who have sharply criticized the Biden administration's efforts to block international attempts, including in the United Nations, to pressure Israel for an immediate long-term cease-fire.

“The combination of the United States' veto of a cease-fire resolution in the U.N., and this expedited provision of lethal arms to Israel, should cause some serious consideration of whether the secretary's repeated assertions that the U.S. seeks to minimize civilian casualties in Israel's operation in Gaza are sincere,” said Josh Paul, a former State Department official who worked on arms sales, referring to Mr. Blinken. (Mr. Paul resigned from the agency in October over U.S. weapons aid to Israel for its use in the Gaza war.)

The 13,000 rounds are one tranche of a larger order from Israel of 45,000 rounds of ammunition for Merkava tanks that the State Department aims to approve, but that is under informal review by two congressional committees that have oversight of arms sales, congressional officials said. The total order is valued at more than $500 million. The New York Times and Reuters reported Friday on the order from Israel.

During the informal review process, committee members can ask the State Department questions about the weapons sale, in particular how the arms will be used and whether the purchaser will work to lessen civilian casualties. Once the relevant committees sign off, the State Department issues a formal notification to Congress of the sales.

“Congressional review is a critical step for examining any large arms sale,” Senator Chris Van Hollen, Democrat of Maryland, said in a statement to The Times on Saturday, after being asked about the State Department's expedited approval. “The administration's decision to short-circuit what is already a quick time frame for congressional review undermines transparency and weakens accountability. The public deserves better.”

Although most of the civilian casualties in Gaza are caused by heavy Israeli airstrikes, some Palestinian journ*lists have taken video footage or photographs of what they say are Israeli armored vehicles firing on civilians.

And on Thursday, the Reuters news agency published an investigation that concluded a strike by an Israeli tank crew had killed one of its video journ*lists, Issam Abdallah, in South Lebanon on Oct. 13. The strike severely injured an Agence France-Presse photographer, Christina Assi, and wounded five other journ*lists.

“Issam was not in an active combat zone when he was struck,” Reuters said in a statement. “He and his colleagues were alongside journ*lists from other news outlets, in an area far from active conflict.”

Human Rights Watch, which did its own investigation, and Amnesty International both called the attack a war crime.

The Israeli military says it does not target civilians. In the case of the tank strike that killed Mr. Abdallah and injured the others, it has argued they were in a conflict area, despite there being no evidence of combatants or fighting around the journ*lists at the time.

On Thursday, Mr. Blinken said at a news conference that “it is imperative — it remains imperative — that Israel put a premium on civilian protection, and there does remain a gap between exactly what I said when I was there, the intent to protect civilians, and the actual results that we're seeing on the ground.”

Even appears to be against her
