This Is NOT Normal Politics!

Posted on by

We have two major political parties. Theoretically both parties want what is best for America–they just have different ideas as to what that is and how to get there. Lately that doesn’t seem to be the case. I used to be a Democrat. I believed in ideas that I thought the Democrats believed in–equal rights (even though the Democrats were the ones who filibustered the Civil Rights Act), a strong safety net (which has been majorly abused), and equal pay for women (which according to the statistics is now a fact). However, somewhere along the line, the Democrat party got lost. They don’t seem to have a platform now except hate Israel and get President Trump. At best that is unattractive, at worst it is just plain stupid.

On Tuesday, Just the News reported:

In the final weeks of Joe Biden’s presidency, FBI agents tied to Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation memorialized anew their belief that President Donald Trump broke the law in contesting the 2020 election and secretly arranged to preserve their evidence until 2030 in memos that raise alarm they could revive their prosecution after Trump leaves office.

The FBI memos and emails closing out the controversial Arctic Frost investigation – obtained by Just the News – show the bureau chose not to relinquish the evidence it gathered after Smith went to court to dismiss charges against Trump, even though that is the normal practice for agents. Instead, they created a preservation order keeping the evidence in FBI custody for two years after Trump’s second term ends, claiming it was necessary to do so because of ongoing litigation, the memos show.

Do the charges still make sense with all of the evidence now showing serious voter irregularities in swing states?

The article notes:

FBI emails and memos obtained by Just the News dating back to early 2025 show how the FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors who had been working on the criminal prosecutions aimed at Trump and his allies worked to close the 2020 election-related case against the incoming president, while also seemingly leaving open the door for the criminal case to be revived once Trump leaves office and a Democrat again holds the reins at the Justice Department.

“The American people deserve to know how this egregious weaponization of power to target political opponents and President Trump happened inside an institution meant to protect them,” FBI Director Kash Patel told Just the News. “We shut down the weaponized CR-15 squad, and we are going to keep following the facts until there is full accountability. The FBI exists to protect the country, not to preserve political prosecutions for a future administration.”

Following Trump’s victory in November 2024 over Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris, Smith sought to dismiss his case against Trump “without prejudice” – leaving open the possibility that the charges could be refiled in the future.

Tracking Down The People Harming Our Children

Posted on by

On Sunday, Breitbart reported:

Hundreds of child sexual abuse victims were located and over 350 child sex abuse offenders arrested in April as a result of the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Operation Iron Pursuit.

Officials located over 200 children, and 350 child sex predators were arrested during the operation that ran from April 1 until April 30, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Western District of New York announced Friday.

“All 56 FBI field offices and U.S. Attorneys, offices around the country participated in the coordinated takedown effort, including the Buffalo FBI Field Office and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of New York,” the press release said.

The news comes after Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel said his agency has been working to modernize and restore trust as it protects American citizens, while also moving over 1,000 agents and Intelligence Analysts out of Washington, DC, and into the field, Breitbart News reported.

Following the close of Operation Iron Pursuit and additional operations, Patel said drugs and firearms were also seized, according to Breitbart News.

The article concludes:

In December, Breitbart News reported a DOJ crackdown on child sex predators across the nation saw 293 sexual abuse offenders arrested and over 200 children located.

This is much better use of the Department of Justice than monitoring parents who go to School Board meetings!

Waiting For The Other Shoe To Drop

I believe that bringing James Comey to trial for his beach shells incident is a mistake, but evidently there is more to the story.

On Sunday, Just the News reported:

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said on Sunday that the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey goes beyond his “8647” Instagram post about President Trump.

“Rest assured that it’s not just the Instagram post that leads somebody to get indicted,” Blanche said on “Meet the Press” on Sunday.

“The career FBI agents, the career Secret Service agents that investigated this case, didn’t just look at the Instagram post and walk away,” he added.

Blanche declined to elaborate on the matter.

“So I am not permitted to get into the details of what the grand jury heard or found,” he said.

I hope that whatever other charges the government has against James Comey are substantial. I disagree with the solo charge of shells on the beach.

I believe that James Comey is a sleeze who should have gone to jail for previous crimes, but the statute of limitations has passed, and the law is the law. If Facebook posts similar to his resulted in indictments, our courts would be full. Yes, his post was tacky, unnecessary, and petty, but I question whether or not it was illegal.

Someone with a different opinion than mine told me that he was glad James Comey would have to use his resources to defend himself–much like the pain his lawfare caused to others when he was in office. I see his point, but does this indictment further polarize the country?

We can’t  undo the damage the Biden administration did to the concept of equal justice under the law, but we can avoid making the same mistakes.

We May Finally Learn The Truth

In July of 2016, Seth Rich was killed in Washington, D.C. His death was reported as a robbery gone wrong, but there were things that just didn’t make sense from the beginning. The lack of transparency by the D.C. Metro Police added to the feeling that something was being covered up. Well, it is still being covered up, but there are a number of investigative reporters who are still on the case.

NOTE: The following is from a source I am not familiar with, but the information does agree with things I am familiar with.

On April 4th, Joe Hoft reported:

Attorney Ty Clevenger has been working on the Seth Rich case for a decade. The Deep State actors running the government continue to stall and defy court orders, and Clevenger continues to demand justice.

It is believed that Seth Rich is a pivotal key to the Russia Collusion coup attempt of the first Trump Administration.

The Deep State DOJ and FBI have gone through extreme efforts to cover up any information they have on Seth Rich.  Rich is who many believe transferred DNC emails to WikiLeaks during the 2016 election.  He was a Bernie fan who worked in the DNC at that time.  He was reportedly upset with what the DNC was doing to Bernie.  On July 10, 2016, Rich was found shot in the back due to what law enforcement labeled a burglary, and yet his wallet, phone, and watch were left on his person.  This is at the time WikiLeaks began dropping damaging DNC emails that showed the inner workings of the Hillary campaign.

The article notes:

The FBI has just filed a motion to REJECT @Ty_Clevenger ’s discovery requests in the Seth Rich FOIA case.

The FBI filed a motion for a protective order seeking to quash the plaintiff’s broad discovery requests served on March 4, 2026, arguing that discovery is generally disfavored and inappropriate in FOIA litigation absent evidence of bad faith, which the court has repeatedly found lacking in prior rulings.

The motion contends that the interrogatories and requests for production are overbroad, irrelevant to the underlying FOIA claims, unduly burdensome, and disproportionate, requesting the court to prohibit further discovery without its prior leave.

It is time the information was made public and the people responsible for the crime and the coverup were held accountable.

The Media Bias Is Not Only How News Is Reported But What Is Left Out

Posted on by

On Thursday, Newsbusters posted an article about the lack of mainstream media reporting on the California hospice fraud scandal.

The article reports:

The Elitist Media’s evening newscasts have shown that they have a hard time reporting on counteragenda items that expose blue states to accusations of incompetence or malfeasance. News related to public assistance fraud is especially rare among the nightlies, as is demonstrated by the latest news out of California.

Watch as the CBS Evening News is the sole evening newscast to report on the massive early morning raid carried out by the FBI in Covina, California: 

The article includes a video of that raid. Remember how many news crews were there when Roger Stone’s house was attacked and he was taken prisoner and brought to jail?

The New York Post reports:

The home of a husband and wife who own a Southern California hospice accused of committing $7 million in fraud was raided by FBI agents in conjunction with Health and Human Services early Thursday morning.

The raid is one of several that took place as part of a massive federal effort to address widespread fraud in the state in coordination with Vice President JD Vance’s Fraud Taskforce — and the California Post was there.

…Dr. Mehmet Oz, the Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, was on the scene as well and said the couple created a hospice in their daughter’s name and bilked millions of dollars from taxpayers.

“Since 2022, there have been allegations, but for four years, what seems to be typical in California, nothing was done,” he said.

Their hospice had a mortality rate of just 2.3% over the last five years, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

The article concludes:

You would think that having the head of CMS present at the raid might be an indicator of newsworthiness and seriousness. But no. And, of course, the CBS item made no mention of the raid’s relation to the anti-fraud effort spearheaded by Vice President JD Vance.

All of this notwithstanding, CBS’s 32 seconds on the raid are 32 seconds more than ABC and NBC combined. The Elitist Media’s insistence on pretending that government assistance fraud doesn’t exist is but one of many reasons why the American People have lost trust in the media.

If you rely on the mainstream media for your news, you are not only misinformed–you are uninformed.

In What World Is This Acceptable Behavior?

Posted on by

Mark 3:25 in the New King James Version says, “And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.” Some of the people who work for the American government need to learn that principle.

On Tuesday, Just the News, reported the following:

Analysts inside the U.S. intelligence community sought to conceal evidence of Chinese influence efforts from President Donald Trump during the 2020 election, with analysts saying they didn’t want their intel used by “that vulgarian in the Oval Office” to pursue policies toward China they personally disagreed with.

The revelation is found within a January 2021 report written by — and never before reported upon comments by — analytic ombudsman Barry Zulauf, who conducted a review of the spy community’s handling of Russian versus Chinese meddling efforts during the 2020 election. Among his conclusions was that intelligence analysts downplayed China’s actions because they had disdain for the “vulgarian” Trump and did not want to support the policies and priorities of the Trump administration toward China with which they “personally disagree.”

Just the News reported this week that the U.S. intelligence community has known since early 2020 that Beijing also gained access to American voter registration data and used that information to conduct opinion analysis related to the presidential election between Trump and then-former Vice President Joe Biden.

That is totally unacceptable behavior. They were hired to do a job–inform the President of terrorist threats and activities–not to act on their own political views.

The article notes:

The Justice Department, FBI, DHS, and CISA put out a “joint report” in March 2021 which argued there was “no evidence that any foreign government-affiliated actor manipulated election results or otherwise compromised the integrity of the 2020 federal elections.”

The report downplayed or dismissed the impact that Chinese meddling may have had.

“We identified several incidents when Russian, Chinese, and Iranian government-affiliated actors materially impacted the security of networks associated with or pertaining to U.S. political organizations, candidates, and campaigns during 2020 federal elections,” the joint report said. “In most cases, the IC has assessed that it is unclear if those actors sought these accesses to inform broader foreign policy interests or election-specific operations. Several such actors gathered at least some information they could have released in influence operations, but ultimately we did not see any such materials deployed, modified, or destroyed.”

The people responsible for holding back the information should be fired and barred from ever working for the government again. I don’t know if any criminal charges would be applicable, but this is borderline treason.

The Fulton County Saga Continues

Posted on by

I wonder if the people who ran the election in 2020 thought that they would still be in the news at 2026. The truth is getting closer, and I hope the people responsible for whatever shenanigans took place will be held accountable.

On Tuesday, Hot Air reported:

If I were a more cynical man, I would think that the election officials in Fulton County have something to hide. 

As a Pollyanna, though, I am certain that it means nothing at all that Fulton County is suing to stop the FBI from examining the evidence that could prove or disprove whether shenanigans that likely cost Trump the 2020 elections took place in that county. 

Liberals believe that the 2020 election was “the most secure in history,” which is about as ridiculous as praising the Quality Learing Center for its curriculum and stewardship of public money. There were, in fact, few speed bumps to even slow down election fraud, and despite many lawsuits being filed, there were no efforts to check whether election laws were followed or ballot security enforced. In many states, the elections weren’t even run by the Secretaries of State, having handed the process over in all but name to the Zuckerbucks nonprofits.

Fulton County has spent years hiding the ballots, and even tried to destroy them well before the legal time requirement. The county has violated court orders to keep them hidden and has already admitted that they broke the law in how they counted and verified the vote totals.

Now that the ballots are in the FBI’s hands due to a search warrant, Fulton County is trying to keep them from being examined, and will have a heck of a time explaining why the 40 boxes they claimed existed do not appear to be in FBI hands. 

The article concludes:

For years, the Georgia political establishment defended the process, even as the Fulton County elections office was cleared out due to its manifest “incompetence.” We can only speculate why even Republicans defended the vote count—perhaps it was only that Pravda and leftist prosecutors went to enormous effort to punish anybody expressing doubts, and perhaps for another reason.

But the defense is likely to collapse, in the same way that the Fauci/Pravda line that COVID came from a raccoon dog, not the WIV, has collapsed. Unfortunately, that means that the truth will come out, but nobody will pay a price.

Most ironic of all is that the RICO case against Trump was entirely predicated on the quality of the Georgia vote count, which Trump didn’t believe for a second. As usual, Trump will be proven right, his critics will be proven liars who use lawfare to suppress the truth and to try to deny Trump an election victory, and…nobody will pay a price, and liberals will still cling to the lies.

Stay tuned. This case may have broader implications.

Know Your News Source

Posted on by

It  is amazing how differently two news sources can cover the same story. On Wednesday, Fox News and Just the News both reported that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was seen scouring the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center in Georgia. Evidently someone is finally looking into voting irregularities at the city. Despite what you may have heard, Fox News is no longer the conservative bastion of objective news it once was.

Just the News reports:

Post-2020 election investigations and reports have confirmed irregularities in the election process in Georgia’s most populous county. Just the News, for instance, found in 2021 that the tally sheets the county used for audits and recounts did not match totals from ballot images, appearing to duplicate counts.

Gob. Brian Kemp, in 2021, issued an official complaint about “sloppy” processes in the county and later referred the 2020 election results to the State Election Board after separate reviews confirmed errors in the absentee ballot counting process.

Fox News reports:

President Donald Trump lost the election in Georgia in 2020 by a wafer-thin margin and claimed various instances of fraud had tainted the results. Those claims did not survive court scrutiny. Fulton, which includes Atlanta and is the state’s most populous county, drew significant attention at the time.

A machine count and two recounts confirmed that former President Joe Biden had won the state, leading Trump to feud with Georgia’s leaders for years.

The DOJ sued Fulton County last month seeking access to ballots related to the 2020 election. The county is fighting the lawsuit, saying the DOJ has not made a valid argument for accessing them.

Fox News is ignoring the fact that Fulton County officials admitted they did not properly sign tabulator tapes after the 2020 election, a violation of state regulations. They are also ignoring the fact that the county says approximately 315,000 votes cast during early voting were certified without the required signatures on tabulator tapes from poll workers. No, the record does not confirm the fact that Biden won the state. We can’t change the past, but we need to make sure all future elections include accurate and valid vote counts. Meanwhile, could someone please be held accountable for the fraud.

One Person Can Make A Difference

The Minnesota government fraud case has been in the headlines nationally recently. Power Line Blog has been reporting the story for years, but one young journalist is partially responsible for getting the story to the public.

On December 29, Scott Johnson posted an article at Power Line Blog about the corruption.

The article reports:

Bill Glahn, Lou Raguse, and other members of the local Twin Cities press have been covering the massive public-programs fraud committed by a large cast of almost exclusively Somali perpetrators for a while now. For those just tuning in, Bill points out — to take one example — that KSTP’s Jay Kolls knocked on alleged daycare doors in this January 2025 story.

YouTuber Nick Shirley has brought the daycare story to a national audience with the video he posted last week. Bill posted the video here on Power Line. The delayed detonation of this story represents another rendition of the Rufo effect. Like Chris Rufo’s linked City Journal column, the Shirley video implies that something must be done. An investigation must be conducted. Perpetrators must be held to account. This implication does a disservice to what has been done by the federal authorities to date. I tried to add this perspective to the story in “Minnesota’s Somali fraud problem.”

Shirley has a local guide named David. David alludes to frauds centered on St. Paul’s Grigg’s-Midway Building. One wouldn’t know from the video that the FBI executed search warrants and the United States Attorney brought an initial set of charges arising from the Griggs-Midway Building. I wrote about the searches here in July (“Another massive Minnesota fraud”) and the charges here in September (“The fraud this time”). The linked September post includes a video of the press conference announcing the charges.

Shirley acknowledges a recent FBI raid on an Eagan or Minneapolis office building at about 26:10 of the video. You can see the FBI at work lugging boxes of evidence removed from the building. Shirley also checks out the Griggs-Midway Building itself at 29:20 of the video.

Please follow the link to read the entire article. Now that the reporting of the fraud has gone national, those responsible need to be held to account. I think all of us are tired of hearing about massive government fraud, and then the story goes away. I am looking for orange jumpsuits!

The Value Of Having An Armed Population

Posted on by

The Crime Prevention Research Center has released a report showing the impact of armed citizens on attempted mass shootings. The figures cited at The Crime Prevention Research Center are very different from the figures released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

The numbers were recently posted on Facebook:

Obviously, an armed citizen would have made a difference in Australia, which has very strict gun laws that discourage citizens from owning guns, and an armed citizen would have made a difference at Brown University, which is a gun-free zone. We see how well that worked out.

The problem is not the gun. Rob Reiner and his wife were killed by a mentally unbalanced son who used a knife. Some of the Christmas market attackers in Europe used vehicles to run people over. The problem is with the person, not the weapon of choice. Gun-free zones only make things safer for the attacker–not the victim.

The Corruption Was Known, Visible, And Ignored

Posted on by

It is interesting to me that the Charity Navigator, supposedly a guide to the administrative costs of charities and the amount of good that they do, rates the Clinton Foundation at the Navigator’s highest rating. The rating includes accountability, tax filings, revenue and expenses, etc. The Charity Navigator gives them a 100% rating. Operation Blessing has a 99% rating, and Samaritan’s Purse has a 100% rating. However, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) might not totally agree with the rating of the Clinton Foundation. It is possible that the Clinton Foundation has cleaned up its act, but the Foundation has had some questionable activities in the past.

On Sunday (updated Monday), Just the News posted an article about the Clinton Foundation.

The article reports:

A top Republican senator has provided Just the News a timeline written by FBI investigators laying out the repeated political obstruction those agents faced from their own bosses and the Justice Department during the 2016 election and beyond as they probed whether Hillary Clinton engaged in a pay-to-play corruption scheme involving her family foundation.

“Field agents were frustrated. But HQ would not let it go forward,” the newly-released and lengthy investigative timeline reveals. “We were trying to explore the [Clinton] Foundation, and we were told ‘NO’ by FBI HQ.”

…This follows Patel (FBI Director Kash Patel) unearthing a shorter timeline, written in 2017, which also chronicled the extensive stonewalling that bureau investigators in three cities faced from the Obama-era DOJ and FBI during the 2016 election.

FBI agents tried to get the help of federal prosecutors to determine whether or what crimes occurred while Hillary Clinton served as Secretary of State, most notably, because at that time, her family foundation solicited hundreds of millions of dollars from foreign and U.S. interests with business before her department.

“Shut it down!” then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates is quoted as demanding in the shorter timeline of the politicized barriers that agents in New York City, Little Rock, Ark., and Washington D.C. reported. 

The shorter timeline — written by a DOJ lawyer assigned to the FBI under former bureau Director James Comey — was secured by top aides to Patel and was obtained by Just the News earlier this year. The newly-released and longer timeline was handed over to Grassley’s office by the FBI along with a host of corroborating internal emails and was recently provided to Just the News.

The article concludes:

But John Durham’s 2023 special counsel report said that his appointment order by then-Attorney General Barr did not include the Uranium One saga within its scope, with the Durham report stating that “we have not interpreted the Order as directing us to consider matters addressed by the former United States Attorney for the District of Utah.”

The differences in how the Justice Department and FBI handled cases related to Clinton and Trump were stark — publicly exonerating Clinton for her mishandling of classified information when using a private email server as Secretary of State and not even allowing the Clinton Foundation investigation to get off the ground, while at the same time launching a sprawling inquiry into the Trump campaign and the candidate (and then the president) himself on the now-proven-false pretext of Russian collusion.

Special Counsel Durham later pointed out that “the immediate opening of Crossfire Hurricane as a full investigation contrasts with the care taken in connection with the investigation of the Clinton Foundation and other matters.”

Please follow the link above to read the entire article. It is long, but worth it. Meanwhile, I am still waiting for the orange jump suits. Will anyone ever be held accountable for government corruption?

Dealing With The Entire Problem

Posted on by

On Wednesday, Legal Insurrection posted an article about America’s seizure of a tanker on the coasts of Venezuela. The article explains some of the reasons behind the taking of the tanker.

The article reports:

Today, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Homeland Security Investigations, and the United States Coast Guard, with support from the Department of War, executed a seizure warrant for a crude oil tanker used to transport sanctioned oil from Venezuela and Iran. For multiple years, the oil tanker has been sanctioned by the United States due to its involvement in an illicit oil shipping network supporting foreign terrorist organizations. This seizure, completed off the coast of Venezuela, was conducted safely and securely—and our investigation alongside the Department of Homeland Security to prevent the transport of sanctioned oil continues.

The article quotes Axios:

Zoom in: The U.S. has sanctioned Venezuela’s oil company for years, but this vessel was seized because it was on the U.S. Treasury Department’s “Specially Designated Nationals” list for allegedly violating other sanctions, providing the justification for it to be seized.

    • The vessel is known as a VLCC, or Very Large Crude Carrier, capable of transporting as much as 320,000 deadweight tons of crude, two sources with direct knowledge said.
    • The exact details of the seizure, first reported by Bloomberg, are unclear and administration officials could not be reached for comment.

The article concludes:

Then there’s Cuba, the home of the oil on the tanker.

As Marc Caputo at Axios pointed out, Cuba is an ally of Venezuela and a U.S. adversary.

The system in place is corrupt because of course:

Havana sells Venezuelan crude on the black market, chiefly to Asian markets that ultimately feed China.

    • The crude oil is handled by a grandson of Raul Castro, the former leader of Cuba and brother of longtime dictator Fidel Castro, the insiders say.
    • In addition to splitting the profits with Venezuela, Cuba supplies intelligence services and agents who protect Maduro.
    • “This is a twofer: we’re going after Maduro’s bank account and the Cubans that keep him in power,” one of the sources said.

According to the National Archives:

While the Monroe Doctrine’s message was designed to keep European powers out of the Western Hemisphere, Roosevelt would strengthen its meaning to justify sending the United States into other countries of the Western Hemisphere. As a result, U.S. Marines were sent into Santo Domingo in 1904, Nicaragua in 1911, and Haiti in 1915, ostensibly to keep the Europeans out. Other Latin American nations viewed these interventions with misgiving, and relations between the “great Colossus of the North” and its southern neighbors remained strained for many years.

In 1962, the Monroe Doctrine was invoked symbolically when the Soviet Union began to build missile-launching sites in Cuba. With the support of the Organization of American States, President John F. Kennedy threw a naval and air quarantine around the island. After several tense days, the Soviet Union agreed to withdraw the missiles and dismantle the sites. Subsequently, the United States dismantled several of its obsolete air and missile bases in Turkey.

The Monroe Doctrine needs to be enforced, both for America’s safety and for the protection of other free nations in our hemisphere.

The Arrest Numbers

Posted on by

According to whatever AI comes up when you ask the question, “In the United States, about 68% of released prisoners are arrested again within three years, and this rate increases to over 80% for those with juvenile records.” So logically, if you can keep those 68 per cent in prison, the crime rate will go down. That seems to be the plan of the Trump administration.

On Thursday, Just the News reported:

The FBI on Thursday announced that its efforts to crack down on violent crime nationwide had yielded more than 8,600 arrests over the span of three months, and the seizure of over 2,200 guns.

The bureau conducted “Operation Summer Heat” from June 24 through September 20, which featured teams from all 55 FBI field offices and other law enforcement partners. The initiative cracked down on violent crime in major U.S. cities. 

FBI Director Kash Patel said the operation netted 8,629 arrests,  and the seizure of 2,281 guns and 44,559 kilograms of cocaine. It also took 421 kilograms of fentanyl off the streets.

“We are not messing around,” Patel said in a statement. “Our number one mission is crushing violent crime. If you hurt a child, we’re coming for you. If you jack a car, we’re coming for you. If you’re polluting our neighborhoods with deadly drugs, we’re coming for you.”

The FBI said that of the 8,629 arrests, 6,500 fell under the FBI’s Violent Crime and Gang program. The bureau and its partners also rescued over 1,000 children and 10 field offices arrested over 30 fugitives that were wanted for murder. 

We need a place to put these people where they are not a threat to society. Prison needs to be a place where you don’t want to go. Our current prisons with weight rooms, libraries, televisions, and other amenities are not doing the job. We need prisons where prisoners work eight hours a day and go back to their cells too tired to create problems. Prison needs not to be a comfortable (but lawless) place where all of your needs are provided for.

When Conspiracies Turn Out To Be True

Posted on by

On Thursday (updated Friday), Just the News posted an article about the number of Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents who were involved in the Capitol riots of January 6th.

The article reports:

The FBI secretly deployed more than 250 plainclothes agents to the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, an operation so disorganized it unleashed searing frustrations among many of the FBI’s rank-and-file that the bureau had lost its core competencies to “wokeness” and allowed its employees to become “pawns in a political war,” according to an after-action report kept from the public for more than four years.

Scores of FBI agents and personnel – many from the bureau’s premier Washington field office (WFO) – sent anonymous complaints to the after-action team detailing how agents were sent into an unsafe scenario without proper safety equipment or the ability to identify themselves readily as armed officers to other police agencies, the report obtained by Just the News shows.

There is no way to know how many of these agents encouraged people to enter the Capitol. It should also be noted that the video from that day shows the police encouraging people to enter the Capitol. Many of the people who followed the directions of the police were later arrested.

The article notes:

The report also revealed agents strongly disagreed with how they were deployed and how cases were pursued after that day, seeing a double standard.

“The actions on January 6, 2021 were absolutely despicable and unacceptable in a civilized society. What is even more unacceptable was the hypocrisy displayed by the FBI and its leadership in their attempt to go after those involved in the Capitol Riots, while we as agents, watched cities burn across America during the summer of 2020,” one agent said. 

“The conspiracy to commit crimes at the Capitol on January 6th, were also committed by bad actors during the summer riots of 2020 leading up to the election on November 3, 2020. Agents stood by on the ground in Washington, D.C. and observed stores being looted, burned, and ripped of anything of value,” the agent wrote.

“Even worse, officers were assaulted in the streets in broad daylight with cameras rolling, and yet our response then was nothing like the Capitol Riots response on and after January 6, 2021. I do not recall a single instance where the FBI, specifically FBI WFO, made any attempt to put the resources behind the summer riots of 2020, as they did during the Capitol Riots,” the agent explained. 

I will never cease to be amazed at the deep state’s efforts to punish President Trump for being President Trump.

There Need To Be Severe Consequences For Political Violence

Posted on by

It’s been a tough few weeks. We had a church shot up with children in it. We had Charlie Kirk assassinated. Now we have a young person shooting up an ICE facility. Something is very wrong. For whatever reason, people are evidently forgetting their debating skills and resorting to violence.

On Wednesday, The Daily Caller reported:

A suspect who fired shots near an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility on Wednesday morning in Dallas, Texas, left “anti-ICE” messages on rounds, FBI officials said.

Police found the shooter dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after the suspect shot three victims, killing two, officials said at a Wednesday press conference. “Early evidence that we’ve seen from rounds that were found near the suspected shooter contain messages that are anti-ICE in nature,” said Joseph Rothrock, special agent in charge at the FBI’s Dallas field office.

The early reports say that the shooter fired from the rooftop of an adjacent building. FBI Director Kash Patel posted the following on X:

I did read a report that the shooter was a young man in his late 20’s. If that is true, I wonder what we are teaching our young people.

I Saw It In The News, It Must Be True–Not!

Posted on by

On Saturday, PJ Media posted an article about FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino’s reply to a New York Times article claiming that Trump’s “politicized FBI” has “made Americans less safe.”

The article reports:

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino wrote a scathing response to the article, calling it “precisely why hard-working Americans simply do not trust the media.” Bongino’s tweet, which quickly gained traction online, took direct aim at what he described as a “poorly thought out hit piece” that misrepresented the sweeping reforms he and Director Patel have implemented at the Bureau.

Bongino’s frustration was palpable as he laid out his case point by point, lambasting the Times for what he saw as a glaring lack of evidence to support their central claim. “The conclusion of the piece is so ridiculous that a child could debunk it,” Bongino wrote. He noted that the article’s authors “comically assert that you are ‘less safe’ because Kash and I have aggressively reformed the FBI. Yet, they produce NO evidence whatsoever to backup that claim. And the reason they don’t produced any evidence, is because the numbers tell the opposite story.”

Backing up his rebuttal with a barrage of statistics, Bongino offered a “small snippet of data points” that he says prove the effectiveness of the FBI’s new direction. Among the highlights, he touted the Bureau’s violent crime initiative, “Summer Heat,” which he notes has the murder rate “trending to be the lowest in U.S. history by a longshot.” He promised that “Summer Heat is coming to a city or town near you soon as we assist your community in removing criminal predators from the streets.”

Bongino didn’t stop there. He detailed that the FBI’s renewed focus on violent crime has led to the arrest of 14,000 violent criminals—a 62% increase from the same period last year. “We rescued over one hundred children from being preyed on, while arresting over 825 violent child predators, and 140 human traffickers,” he added.

It’s amazing how much the FBI can accomplish when it stops going after parents who attend school board meetings or attend the Catholic church.

Just another reason not to trust the mainstream media.

Adding Insult To Injury–And It’s Beautiful

On July 1st, The Hill reported:

Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the official end of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) on Tuesday, after rapidly dismantling the government’s foreign aid arm since President Trump’s return to the White House.

USAID’s official shutdown comes following a study published Monday in the Lancet Medical journal projecting that more than 14 million additional deaths could occur globally as a result of the U.S. aid reductions, including 4.5 million deaths among children. 

Wow! Millions of deaths could result around the world if America stops funding one supposedly non-governmental agency. How is it a non-governmental agency if the government is funding it? I didn’t realize our government was so powerful.

On June 30th, Power Line Blog noted:

There are something like 195 independent nations on the planet, and not a single one, other than America, is capable of helping any of the others. No one. Not a single Euro, Yen, pound, franc, peso, etc., can be freed up to prevent mass genocide on a biblical scale.

…America contains just over 4 percent of the world’s population and generates about 24 percent of the world’s economic output. Yet a single U.S. government agency that you hadn’t even heard of before January 2025 was providing 40 percent of global humanitarian aid and single-handedly sustaining life on earth.

…It also bears mentioning that the Lancet, once a respected medical journal, is now a left-wing rag that loves to publish specious “studies” like this one.

On July 1st (this is the icing on the cake) The Daily Caller reported:

The FBI will relocate its moth-eaten headquarters from the Hoover Building to the Ronald Reagan Building downtown after the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) vacated the complex, officials announced Tuesday.

The shuffle caps nearly 20 years of bureaucratic waffling over where to park the nation’s premier law enforcement agency. By opting for a ready-made federal property — freshly emptied when USAID officially shuttered operations Tuesday — the Trump administration says it will save taxpayers billions while giving agents a secure, modern workplace.

This is one of many reasons we elected a businessman as President!

The FBI Is Doing Its Job

Posted on by

On Saturday, Fox News reported that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has successfully conducted investigations into large-scale sex predator operations.

The article reports:

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino announced on Saturday that during his and Director Kash Patel‘s first three months in office, the agency conducted large-scale sex predator operations, made multiple foreign intelligence and FBI “most wanted” arrests, and aided partners in immigration enforcement.

In an X post, Bongino said two child sex predator stings resulted in the rescues of hundreds of children.

Operation “Restoring Justice” apprehended 205 child sex predators and 764 purveyors, while rescuing 115 children, he said. A separate venture, Operation “Soteria Shield,” resulted in the apprehension of 244 child predators, and 109 children were rescued.

The article notes:

The FBI also apprehended, imprisoned, and deported thousands of illegal immigrants in coordination with federal partners.

More than 700 anti-ICE riot arrests were made in coordination with state and federal agents, as the FBI poured through data in pursuit of more bad actors. 

The article concludes:

“We are not done,” Bongino said. “We are in the process of identifying and moving in on those who threw rocks at law enforcement officers and damaged property. I told you we would not forget. I wasn’t kidding. . . . We told you that the rioting was not going to slow us down. It has not. We are fully engaged.”

Though the FBI acknowledges there is more work to be done, he said to stay tuned on disclosures and the public corruption fronts. 

“For those who have been patient with us, thank you,” Bongino said. “For those who are out of patience, thank you, too. Believe me, we understand. God bless America, and all those who defend Her.”

This is the result of an apolitical FBI that is free to do its job.

If We Can Hide The Evidence, It Didn’t Happen

Posted on by

On Tuesday, PJ Media posted an article about China’s meddling in the 2020 election.

The article reports:

There’s been a new, disturbing development in the case of the Chinese plot to interfere in the 2020 election. 

As PJ Media previously reported, on Monday, FBI Director Kash Patel handed Congress an intelligence report exposing a Chinese plot to interfere in the 2020 election. The report details how Chinese operatives mass-produced fake U.S. driver’s licenses to flood the system with fraudulent mail-in ballots, which helped Joe Biden in the process. However, the intel wasn’t investigated, corroborated, or acted on. In fact, it was quietly pulled from intelligence agencies even as then-FBI Director Chris Wray told Congress there were “no known plots” of foreign interference. 

Why hasn’t former FBI Director Chris Wray arrested for lying to Congress? Where is the S.W.A.T. team that was used to arrest Roger Stone?

The article continues:

The report was sent out on Aug. 24, 2020, but was abruptly recalled by the FBI with a vague excuse about needing to “re-interview” the source. But it didn’t stop there. The bureau didn’t just recall the report; it ordered its destruction.

According to the recall notice, intelligence agencies weren’t just asked to disregard the report — they were ordered to “destroy all copies” and “remove the original report from all computer holdings.” This wasn’t routine bureaucratic cleanup. It was a deliberate effort to wipe damning evidence from existence. The FBI didn’t just bury credible intelligence about Chinese election interference; it tried to scrub it from history. And now, years later, the truth is finally surfacing: the fix was in, and so was the cover-up. Deliberate. Coordinated. And chilling.

The article concludes:

This wasn’t some careless screw-up. This was a deliberate, calculated cover-up. The FBI didn’t just drop the ball — it went out of its way to bury explosive evidence of a foreign power trying to rig a U.S. presidential election. Instead of doing its job and protecting America’s election integrity, it chose to protect Biden’s campaign by destroying the very documents that exposed the truth. It lied to Congress, scrubbed the report, and tried to erase one of the biggest national security threats of our time from the record.

This isn’t just a scandal — it’s a betrayal of the highest order. And everyone involved in this disgraceful cover-up needs to be held accountable. The American people were cheated, not just at the ballot box, but by the very FBI that swore to safeguard our democracy. It’s time to stop pretending that this was anything less than a full-blown political operation disguised as law enforcement.

Is anyone ever going to be held accountable for the scandals that are being uncovered?

Just the News posted a copy of the FBI memo about the investigation.

What Happens When You Enforce The Law

Posted on by

On Monday, The Federalist posted an article detailing what has happened since President Trump took office, enforced our laws, and tightened our southern boarder.

The article reports:

Murder rates are plummeting. While we still have more than half a year to go, Kash Patel, the FBI’s director, says that the U.S. is on track to have the lowest murder rate ever. The current record low occurred in 2014 when the FBI reported a murder rate of 4.45 per 100,000.

The question is: why? Law enforcement matters, but it is probably also that Trump is deporting criminal illegal aliens.

According to Patel, “Let good cops be cops,” is the answer. “I’m gonna let you, the agents, the police officers, the sheriffs, go out there and do the work you so badly want to do. And I’m gonna give you the resources you need to do it. And I’m gonna take away the politicization and weaponization … and that’s what we’ve done.”

Instead of placing a third of FBI agents in the D.C. area, Patel has moved them out across the country to where the crime is occurring. A recent Biden administration document that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified shows that law enforcement resources were being spent on “non-criminal” activities of conservative Catholics, people attending school board meetings, and flagging those who used symbols like “2A” and imagery referencing the Second Amendment. The FBI sent a memo to over 1,000 employees nationwide instructing them to target conservative Catholics.

The article concludes:

A word of caution is needed when discussing these numbers. The US tracks murder/homicide through two sources: FBI data from police departments and CDC data from medical examiners. Academics generally believe the medical examiner reports offer a more accurate final count, and these figures have diverged in recent years. The CDC’s latest data is for 2022, and it reveals the homicide rate minus justified police homicides peaked in 2021 and remained higher in 2022 than in 2020. Meanwhile, FBI murder rate data peaked in 2020 and has declined annually since. Still, the 2023 FBI murder rate, the most recent finalized data, exceeds the pre-Covid 2019 rate (5.75 vs. 5.16).

Reducing crime isn’t rocket science. If you make it riskier for criminals to commit crime, you will get less crime. Letting police focus on going after criminals matters. Getting serious about illegal aliens who are committing crimes can’t be ignored.

I wonder if the people currently suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) are aware that they are safer now (other than from ‘mostly peaceful protesters’).

The Investigation That Really Wasn’t

Posted on by

On Friday, Real Clear Politics posted an article about the investigation into the cocaine found in the White House during the Biden administration.

The article reports:

Two years after the U.S. Secret Service discovered a bag of cocaine in the White House in July, 2023, documents showing orders for its destruction within 24 hours after the agency closed the case are raising new questions about the scrupulousness of the investigation.

A U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency document titled “Destruction” states that the bag of cocaine was sent to the Metropolitan Police Department for incineration. That document, obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, doesn’t display a date for the destruction. But other internal Secret Service records show that the cocaine was tested by the Secret Service, the D.C. Fire Department hazmat technicians, and the FBI before being sent back to the Secret Service for storage on July 12. Two days later, it was transferred to the D.C. police department for destruction. The Secret Service shut down the cocaine investigation 11 days after discovering it.

The destruction of narcotics evidence must comply with environmental and safety regulations, and the D.C. police department has an Environmental Protection Agency-approved incinerator that federal agencies often use to destroy narcotics that are not involved in active legal cases.

D.C. police officials referred all questions about the cocaine’s apparent destruction to the FBI. There’s no entry or date for the cocaine’s actual destruction.

The article notes that there may be useful evidence that was not destroyed:

While the cocaine bag found in the White House appears to have been destroyed, internal Secret Service documents show that the agency retained and stored a second piece of evidence, an envelope of three tubes of DNA that the FBI attained from the plastic bag of cocaine. It’s unclear how much DNA those tubes contain, though the Secret Service has stood by its statements that the FBI found insufficient DNA to pursue any investigative leads.

When the Secret Service closed its investigation into who left the cocaine in the White House on July 13,  the agency issued a statement explaining its decision. Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi asserted that camera surveillance footage didn’t provide any “investigative leads or any other means for investigators to identify who may have deposited” the cocaine in the White House, adding that FBI laboratory results “did not develop latent fingerprints and insufficient evidence was present for investigative comparisons.”

The article concludes:

After correcting mistaken reports that the cocaine was found in the White House library, media reports then cited a Guglielmi statement that the cocaine was found in a “West Wing workspace.” Days later, Guglielmi clarified further that it was found in a small locker in a vestibule near the West Executive Avenue entrance to the West Wing, a heavily trafficked area where visitors and lower-level staff store electronics before VIP tours.

A FOIA-released internal Secret Service document further muddied the waters by claiming that the cocaine was found in the “[redacted] lobby floor,” creating even more suspicion surrounding the location where the cocaine was first discovered. Sources familiar with the statement in a Secret Service Protective Division document said it was not a reference to the physical floor of a room, but the lobby level of the West Wing where the lockers were located in a vestibule leading into it.

The Secret Service has confirmed that “locker 50,” where the cocaine was allegedly left, has a missing key.

We may never know who brought the cocaine into the White House, but at least now we know that not everyone involved in the investigation was really looking for the truth.

Why Is (Was) President Trump Such A Threat?

On Friday, The Federalist posted an article about recently released documents relating to the RussiaGate controversy.

The article reports:

Nellie Ohr isn’t a new name in the Russiagate saga, but newly released documents from Sen. Chuck Grassley’s office shatter the fiction that she was just a low-level researcher and reveal her as a key conduit between Clinton operatives, the DOJ, and the FBI. The documents also pull back the curtain on a darker truth: an internal black hole FBI system designed not just to restrict access to sensitive Russiagate documents, but to bury them so completely that even FBI agents tasked with finding them wouldn’t know they existed.

According to the newly released document from Sen. Grassley’s office, a previously unseen 43-page FBI analysis from 2019, Nellie Ohr was involved in many aspects of the Russia collusion hoax, including in the drafting of the Steele Dossier. The FBI analysis was initiated after then-Congressman Mark Meadows filed a criminal referral, alleging that Ohr had lied to Congress during her 2018 testimony about her role in producing supposed research that helped trigger the Trump-Russia investigation. Meadows had good reason to be suspicious.

As the analysis concluded, Nellie Ohr repeatedly lied under oath. The FBI found that despite her denials, she contributed directly to the writing of the Steele Dossier. One telling clue was an identical analytical error that appeared both in her research and in the dossier itself. Even more damning, the FBI recovered a deleted “FSB report” from a thumb drive which Fusion owner Simpson had given to Bruce Ohr to give to the FBI in December 2016. That same fictitious report had already appeared as part of the dossier given to the FBI by Steele two months earlier, in October 2016. The FSB report bore all the hallmarks of Nellie Ohr’s work, which likely explains why Simpson, or whoever created the thumb drive, deleted the report just four minutes after uploading it, before eventually giving it to Bruce Ohr to pass to the FBI. What they didn’t realize was that what they tried to hide was still recoverable.

Please follow the link to read the entire article. It is interesting to see how much the Washington establishment feared President Trump. He was an outsider with a reputation for being a bull in a china shop and demanding efficiency. The federal government has never been known for efficiency. Considering all of the fraud, waste, and abuse that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has found, they were right to fear President Trump. I just hope that any money that flowed from the treasury back to Congress members will result in severe punishment for those Congress members.

Inquiring Minds Want To Know…

On Monday, The Epoch Times posted an article about three investigations currently being conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). These are three investigations that somehow were never quite concluded by the Biden administration.

The article reports:

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said on May 26 that the bureau is looking at launching investigations into cases of potential public corruption.

“Shortly after swearing in, [FBI Director Kash Patel] and I evaluated a number of cases of potential public corruption that, understandably, have garnered public interest,” Dan Bongino wrote in a post on social media platform X on the morning of May 26.

Bongino, a former Secret Service agent and radio host, noted that they “made the decision to either re-open, or push additional resources and investigative attention, to these cases.”

One case that they are looking to target is the FBI investigation into the alleged pipe bombs left near the Democratic and Republican national committee buildings in Washington a day before the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol breach, he said.

The FBI said in 2024 that a $500,000 reward is still in effect for information leading to the arrest of the pipe bomb suspect. Earlier in 2025, David Sundberg, former assistant director in charge of the FBI Washington Field Office, told CNN that officials are seeking new leads.

“Maybe allegiances have changed or relationships have changed, and it’s time to report [on the suspect],” Sundberg told the outlet.

The article lists the two other cases:

Other cases that warrant more resources include one involving the discovery of cocaine in the White House in July 2023 and the leak of the Supreme Court’s decision that overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022, Bongino said.

“I receive requested briefings on these cases weekly and we are making progress,” he said in his post. “If you have any investigative tips on these matters that may assist us then please contact the FBI.”

The article also noted:

Meanwhile, Patel confirmed on May 18 that the FBI is investigating New York Attorney General Letitia James over her real estate transactions.

I am thankful that the American people may finally find out exactly who was involved in these crimes.

Disturbing Actions By The Biden Administration

Posted on by

On Tuesday, Just the News reported the following:

The Biden administration authorized federal law enforcement four years ago to target Americans engaged in “concerning non-criminal behavior” in the name of fighting domestic terrorism, with a specific eye on those serving in the military, owning firearms, or spreading what officials considered to be “xenophobic” disinformation, according to newly declassified documents.

The stunning breadth of the mandate was disclosed when Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard recently released a fully unredacted version of the prior administration’s “Strategic Implementation Plan for Countering Domestic Terrorism.”

The June 2021 memo exposed for the first time the law enforcement and intelligence framework that led the FBI to monitor and probe conservative Catholics and parents who protested against some school board policies and justified Homeland Security to engage in censorship or debanking of Americans the administration considered to be potential enemies of the state.

The directives provided to the Justice Department and FBI by the National Security Council, which developed the memo, said the agencies should “drive…executive and legislative action” to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, rein in “ghost guns,” monitor active-duty service members for possible terrorism recruitment and “mitigate xenophobia and bias.”

They weren’t looking for enemies of the state–they were looking for people who simply disagreed with the policies of the Biden administration. Why wasn’t there someone in the FBI that exposed this at the time? Where were the people who take an oath to uphold the Constitution?

The article notes:

Legal experts and lawmakers told Just the News on Tuesday they were deeply concerned the Biden-era memo substantially lowered the standard to “concerning” behavior instead of criminality, potentially jeopardizing civil liberties and giving license to weaponize police powers against Americans who had different views than the governing administration on issues like the Second Amendment and COVID-19.

The article concludes:

One whistleblower, agent Garrett O’Boyle, testified that the bureau issued guidance in the wake of the overturning of Roe v. Wade to investigate pro-life groups for threats against the Supreme Court, even though, at the time, it was pro-choice groups that were protesting — sometimes disturbingly — outside conservative justices’ and their families’ homes. 

O’Boyle said he was tasked with talking to a pro-life informant “about the threats to the Supreme Court,” much to his bewilderment. 

“I was like, why would this person know about those threats? He’s pro-life. Like, he’s not the one going and threatening the Supreme Court Justices,” O’Boyle said. 

In the now-infamous “Catholic Memo,” the FBI detailed plans to develop a source network in conservative and traditional Catholicism, and splinter Catholic Churches over fears that they served as a nexus for the development of extremist ideology. A separate whistleblower provided evidence to Congress that FBI counterterrorism assets were involved in the investigation of parents protesting school policies.

Some of the policies of the Biden administration are concerning; however, the fact that we are just hearing about some of them now is even more concerning.

More Lies From The Mainstream Media

Posted on by

Reading the headline on a recent article in The New York Times is not only misleading, it’s inaccurate.

On Monday, The Federalist reported:

The New York Times continues to cover up government corruption, on April 11 hitting FBI Director Kash Patel for suspending analyst Brian Auten nearly a decade after Auten helped Democrats frame Donald Trump as a Russian asset. The NYT headline reads, “F.B.I. Suspends Employee on Patel’s So-Called Enemies List,” not something accurate such as “FBI Suspends Employee Who Illegally Abused Government Power To Protect Democrat Presidential Candidates.”

Predictably, other corporate media outlets took the same corrupt angle, notably an April 12 NBC article by “Fusion Ken” Dilanian and Alexandra Marquez.

Actually, that is not what actually happened. Evidently Brian Auten pushed the use of the Steel dossier as a justification for surveillance of the Trump campaign despite being aware that the dossier was verified. The spying and inappropriate behavior by the Justice Department that surrounded the Trump campaign, Trump transition team, and Trump administration makes Watergate look like child’s play. Those responsible for the illegal surveillance need to be held accountable.

The article concludes:

Yet the same NYT that helped the FBI and other intelligence agencies lie to Americans about Spygate, Biden corruption, and numerous other items of public importance clownishly claims in its April 11 article that “The reasons for the suspension [of Brian Auten] remain unclear.” It further alleges Auten’s suspension is political retaliation rather than the potential beginnings of bringing justice to those who dangerously sought to turn the United States into an intelligence dictatorship.

The reporter bylining this article, Adam Goldman, is a Times national security reporter who “has been a journalist for more than two decades.” He cannot not know all of this background or he wouldn’t have this job, and he still wrote a ridiculously idiotic story claiming Auten’s firing is only explainable by political retribution.

This means Goldman is a paid shill for the world’s worst people, not a reporter of any kind. He’s not just a hack; he has no morals at all. New York Times, delenda est.

Hopefully the firing of Auten is only the beginning of holding people accountable for their misdeeds.
