Check out this cool clip showing F-117s operations at Fresno Airport, California.
No, the one you can find below is not a video filmed some time in the past, when the F-117 Nighthawks were still operational at their homebase at Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico, or somewhere else across the world. The clip was filmed on Sept. 14, 2021, at Fresno Yosemite International Airport, in central California, where two stealth jets deployed the day before to carry out dissimilar air combat training with the local-based 144th Fighter Wing, California Air National Guard, equipped with F-15C/D Eagles.
The fact that the U.S. Air Force is still flying the type out of Tonopah Test Range despite the F-117 has been officially retired in 2008 (!) is no longer a secret. Beginning last year, the aircraft have started to deploy at other airbases across the U.S.: the trip to MCAS Miramar, for instance, exposed a lot more details than those which might be gathered by just analysing the grainy shots of the “Wobblin Goblins” flying over some remote location in the Nevada Test and Training Range.
However, the latest deployment to Fresno has completely changed the “picture”. Not only are we able to have a look at the stealth jets, but we are able to do that from close distance.
Take a look at the following clip, uploaded to YouTube by Randy Bugni and brought to our attention by our friend Steve Fortson. The F-117s (alongside the F-15s) taxi just in front of the camera and allow the viewer to see the “TR” tail code applied to the aircraft, the other markings and the Nighthawk logo (much similar to the one of the 4450th Tactical Group. We can also assess that one of the aircraft carried its radar reflector while the other did not and this, once again, is extremely interesting, as it proves that the training with the F-15s required the Fresno Eagles to face a stealth aggressor. Pretty cool, isn’t it?

Madoff Victims Get $568 Million Payout Five Months After Death
Victims of Bernard Madoff’s massive fraud are about to get the first government payouts since the con man died behind bars five months ago, with a fund set up years ago preparing to send out $568 million in reimbursement checks.
About 31,000 investors worldwide will soon get payments derived from government settlements with some of Madoff’s oldest customers and his bank, JPMorgan Chase & Co., the U.S. Justice Department said Thursday in a statement. The DOJ, which set up the fund, said the disbursements will boost its total payouts to more than $3.7 billion. “This office continues to seek justice for victims of history’s largest Ponzi scheme,” Manhattan U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss said in the statement.
The U.S. fund is separate from the repayment process being overseen by a trustee, Irving Picard, in federal bankruptcy court in Manhattan. His litigation against customers who profited from the scam has so far recovered more than $14.5 billion, most of which as already been returned to victims.

Wendy Rogers Announces Arizona Election Audit Release Date of September 24th
Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers has announced the release date of the 2020 election audit that was done for Maricopa County, Arizona. A lot of time and effort has gone into this audit.
Many Arizonans and others around the nation have been waiting with bated breath, some have been impatient, others skeptical, and many have been patient.
Rogers and Arizona State Rep Mark Finchem have already seen some of the internal data and called for a recall of the election. This has lead to much controversy and some legal experts saying that it is impossible to do, no matter what the recall shows. Finchem is also running for Secretary of State and recently garnered the endorsement of former President Trump. It is likely that his efforts towards election integrity helped in that regard.
Rogers just tweeted this out moments ago:
“The date to release the audit results is next Friday Sept 24th at 1 pm on the Senate floor. Because we have no hearing rooms it will be presented to Chairman Petersen and Senate President Fann. Gallery will be open to public.”

Earlier, Rogers posted photos of all the election audit veterans. This has been a very long and tedious process, that many surely appreciate, no matter what the outcome, or if the outcome affects anything. That doesn’t mean there aren’t very specific desires for those waiting for the outcome, including many Republicans and Trump supporters.
Here are some photos from the #AZAudit volunteer reunion last night. Wonderful time. For those saying the audit is “fake” and “not real” and “nothing is going to happen” – take a look at these audit volunteers. Patriots, everyone of them – real people who did the Lord’s work. pic.twitter.com/6W7RHqkUAk— Wendy Rogers (@WendyRogersAZ) September 16, 2021
Whether there was widespread fraud, or just scattered fraud here and there though, doesn’t change the fact that Republicans see mail-in voting and a way for Democrats to get more votes, since mail-in voting seems to favor Democrats.
Perhaps the Supreme Court will eventually take a look if the right case is presented to them. The Supreme Court was not able to do anything about the 2020 election though, despite an amicus brief out of Texas that tried to have them take action, that many states signed on to.
The thing with the Supreme Court is this, they can’t take action unless the correct legal case is brought before them. Meanwhile, Rogers and her crew continue to take heat, although the election integrity team in Arizona appears to remain undeterred: “Looks like a #SorosMemo went out to all of the paid #FakeNews to attack the volunteer audit reunion last night. Never trust the #MockingbirdMedia. These geniuses don’t realize that the counting portion done by the volunteers is done. These people are enemies of the Republic.” — Wendy Rogers (@WendyRogersAZ) September 16, 2021

N.Korea shows footage of missile launch from train
North Korea's state-run TV has released for the first time video footage of Wednesday's missile launch from a train. It reported the launch with video footage at 8 p.m. on Thursday.
It said that the newly formed Rapid Missile Regiment moved to a mountainous area in central North Korea early Wednesday and fired missiles from a train. The footage begins with the scene of what appears to be a three-car train slowly emerging from a tunnel and coming to a halt. It then shows the roof of the first car opening, from which a missile emerges. The moments of the missile ascending with roaring sounds and orange smoke plumes are captured from various angles.
A South Korean expert believes the missile images are likely the ballistic missiles that were fired on Wednesday in the direction of the Sea of Japan and thought to have fallen inside Japan's exclusive economic zone.

Quietly, the Fed Has Seduced $1 Trillion a Day into the Best Game in Town – Its Reverse Repo Facility
During the financial collapse of 2008, money market funds found themselves holding toxic paper that no one wanted to buy. In order to stop panic runs on money market funds, on September 19, 2008 the U.S. Treasury Department issued a statement indicating it would guarantee more than $3.5 trillion in money market funds.
As COVID-19 concerns took root in March of last year and the stock market plunged, the Fed launched another bailout program for money market funds on March 18, 2020. The program was called the Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility (MMLF) and was run out of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. Going forward, the Fed does not want to be in the position of having to bail out more privately owned money market funds. So the Fed has been seducing money market funds and other financial institutions to use its Overnight Reverse Repurchase Agreement facility for the assets they need to keep both safe and liquid. The Reverse Repo facility is known internally at the Fed as the ON RRP. A Reverse Repo transaction occurs when the Open Market Trading Desk at the New York Fed sells a security (typically a Treasury security) to one of its approved counterparties with an agreement to repurchase the same security at a specified price at a specific time in the future, typically the next day. The difference between the sale price and the repurchase price, adjusted for the length of time between the sale and purchase, is the implied rate of interest.
The Fed’s seduction program has taken a number of forms since March of this year:
On March 18, 2021, FOMC minutes indicate that the Fed authorized raising the ON RRP per-counterparty limit from $30 billion per day to $80 billion per day, while also giving the Fed Chair the ability to temporarily increase that limit at his discretion. On April 30, the New York Fed, which operates the ON RRP for the Fed, reduced the dollar amount of its eligibility criteria for users. For example, the requirement that participating mutual funds had to have net assets over the prior six months of at least $5 billion was reduced to $2 billion. Then on June 16, the Fed raised the interest rate it was paying for ON RRPs from zero to 0.05 percent – thus making it the highest paying safe game in town.
The enticements have worked. Almost every big-name mutual fund company is now listed as a counterparty to the Fed’s ON RRPs, including: Alliance Bernstein, American Funds, BlackRock, Dreyfus, Federated, Fidelity, Franklin, Schwab, T. Rowe Price, and Vanguard, along with the proprietary funds of banks. Counterparties also include the mega Wall Street banks and government-sponsored enterprises. Full a full list of the Fed’s ON RRP counterparties, click on the little blue circle under “List of Reverse Repo Counterparties” here. Showing just how well the enticements have worked, the daily uptake has increased from less than $1 billion daily at the end of last year to over $1 trillion daily since mid-August of this year.
The number of counterparties participating currently ranges from 70 to more than 80 on any given day. That’s up from a range of 40 to 50 participants at the end of May. The adverse consequences of the Fed’s massive new interventions in “free markets,” is yet to be tested. Even the Fed itself has reservations. In a 2015 Fed paper titled “Overnight RRP Operations as a Monetary Policy Tool: Some Design Considerations,” researchers noted this: “Most importantly, a permanently expanded role for the Federal Reserve in short-term funding markets could reshape the financial industry in ways that may be difficult to anticipate and that may prove to be undesirable. For example, a permanent or long-lasting facility that causes very significant crowding out of short-term financing could lead to atrophying of the private infrastructure that supports these markets. Partially in response to some of these concerns, the FOMC has made clear that an ON RRP facility is not intended to be permanent….”
