How They Did It

Posted on by

We have heard a lot lately about Chinese interference into American elections. We have not necessarily heard the specifics about how they did it. PJ Media posted an article on Monday that provides some clues.

The article reports:

A year ago, Brooke Singman published a lengthy piece on the Fox News website that detailed just how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) executed its TikTok data theft scheme. Her primary source for the story was the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is chaired by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa).

The Senate Judiciary Committee launched its own investigation into this after the FBI had announced its own investigation in July 2025. As Singman reported, the CCP allegedly worked to get “fake driver’s licenses to Chinese sympathizers in the U.S. who would cast a vote for candidate Biden.”

It is not clear how successful the CCP was in getting its ballots for Biden to count.

In July 2025, a Grassley spokesperson told Fox News, “Chairman Grassley is in receipt of an FBI document (response) to a request he made based on legally protected whistleblower disclosures…. The document alleges serious national security concerns that need to be fully investigated by the FBI.”

As stated in that document, the intent of the alleged scheme was for the People’s Republic of China (PRC) to produce and export fraudulent U.S. driver’s licenses to Chinese sympathizers in the U.S., so as to create “tens of thousands of fraudulent mail-in votes for US Presidential candidate Joe Biden, in late August 2020.”

According to the document at the center of these investigations, by August 2020, “the Chinese government had produced a large amount of fraudulent United States driver’s licenses that were secretly exported to the United States,” Fox News reported.

The fraudulent drivers licenses would allow tens of thousands of Chinese students and immigrants sympathetic to the Chinese Communist Party to vote for US Presidential Candidate USPER Joe ((Biden)), despite not being eligible to vote in the United States… China had collected private US user data from millions of TikTok accounts, to include name, ID and address, which would allow the Chinese government to use real US persons’ information to create the fraudulent driver’s license, the document states.

Please follow the link to the article for further details.

This illustrates the need for a provision in the SAVE Act to require voters to show proof of citizenship when registering to vote.

ObamaCare Fraud

Posted on by

On Saturday, PJ Media posted an article about fraud in ObamaCare.

The article reports:

Obamacare is expensive, unconstitutional, socialist, and bloated. It is also — surprise, surprise — riddled with fraud.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Mehmet Oz revealed the stunning number of Obamacare users who never provided a Social Security number, raising serious questions about the scope of fraud in the government healthcare insurance program.

…In a Saturday video, Kennedy and Oz updated the American people on efforts to uncover and root out fraud. The HHS secretary began, “The Obamacare marketplace is plagued by fraud, in large part because the Biden administration dismantled basic program integrity guardrails. [And] partisan lawfare blocked common sense efforts to protect taxpayers. Today, Dr. Oz and I are exposing one of the latest examples of fraud that we’ve uncovered — more than a million people enrolled in Obamacare without Social Security numbers on file. That is a glaring warning side of fraud. If even a single person was on Obamacare with no Social Security number, we should have found out. Why are we paying people we don’t know if they actually exist?” Why indeed. Probably because Democrats love to redistribute money no matter how many criminals benefit.

The article notes:

But the current administration has a zero tolerance attitude toward fraud, Oz emphasized. “So here’s what we’re doing about it,” he said. “In May, we took swift action to block this fraudulent behavior directly on healthcare.gov and to our marketplace Call Center. If an agent wants to be paid, [he] must follow the rules. No ifs, ands or buts. They are gonna have to provide government-verified information for their clients to be enrolled.”

This effort is bearing fruit, Kennedy stated. “Thanks to this aggressive enforcement strategy, we’ve already eliminated thousands of fraudulent policies, and we’re just getting started. We’re also working with insurers to cancel every policy that should never have been issued and recover every taxpayer dollar that was fraudulently paid out,” he assured Americans.

Eliminating fraud may be one of the least painful way to cut government spending and get deficits under control.

Change Has Come To South America

Posted on by

On Sunday, PJ Media posted an article about a run-off election in the country of Columbia.

The article reports:

As I’ve been reporting, Colombia had presidential elections last month, and on Sunday, there was a run-off between the Donald Trump-like right-winger, Abelardo de la Espriella (aka El Tigre), and current president Gustavo Petro’s hand-picked socialist successor, Iván Cepeda.  

Well, we can say that another country in Latin America has taken a swing to the right because El Tigre won narrowly, though I’m willing to bet Petro and his folks were up to some funny business. I just don’t buy that nearly half the country voted for the commie… or, at least, half of the 63.6% of people who showed up to the polls in Colombia and beyond. 

For what it’s worth, Colombian expats who live in North America and Europe overwhelmingly voted for de la Espriella. I’m seeing Colombian journalists on social media proclaiming that they are ready to return to their country.  

According to my sources, El Tigre got about 49.66% of the vote, while Cepeda got about 48.70%. Petro is already throwing a fit on social media, demanding a recount, but the momentum is in full swing. President-elect de la Espriella posted “Thank you, Colombia” on social media, and the mood where he is watching the polls is pretty celebratory. 

The article notes:

What I think is important to note is that major players in the region are already congratulating El Tigre on the win, including our own Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, and Argentine President Javier Milei. These guys, especially Rubio, don’t usually send out their congratulations so quickly after votes are counted, but I suspect this is an effort to keep the momentum rolling — and to remind them that the eyes of the world are upon them — before Petro and his leftist, criminal cronies can do something to screw things up. Petro’s already denying the results and calling for recounts and more scrutiny without much credible evidence that it’s needed. 

Rubio actually called President-Elect de la Espriella personally to congratulate him and said that Colombia’s best days are ahead. 

The article concludes:

Ecuador’s president, Daniel Noboa, has been cracking down on the cartels and organized criminal groups that operate at the border the two countries share. The U.S. and Venezuela, as led by the Trump administration, are cracking down on crime on that side of Colombia. Having a cooperative leader who promises Nayib Bukele-like treatment of Colombia’s criminal organizations in power will be a game-changer for the entire Western Hemisphere when it comes to drugs, mass migration, and crime.

Now we just need to flip Brazil, which has elections in October, and get its little dictator, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, out of there. Right now, it’s entirely possible that will happen. I’ll keep you posted.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful for South America to be a great place to live!

Exposing The Obvious

Posted on by

On Tuesday, PJ Media posted an article about the recent changes in the climate change narrative.

The article reports:

“Climate change’s worst-case scenario is officially canceled,” young adult infotainment site Vox finally admitted this weekend, causing progressive heads to explode, from the writing staff to its readership.

“You’ve probably never heard of the term ‘RCP 8.5’ — the highest-emission scenario used by climate scientists to project the planet’s future,” Vox’s Bryan Walsh reported. “But if you’ve read about climate change, you’ve seen the numbers and nightmarish outcomes it produced: 4°C of warming by 2100, sometimes 5°C, sea level rising multiple feet, parts of the planet too hot for humans.”

Scary stuff, right?

Wrong.

Even though “those numbers shaped a decade and a half of climate journalism,” Walsh continued, he “didn’t always know — and didn’t always communicate — that the scenario behind the most apocalyptic, attention-getting findings was largely an attempt to imagine how bad things could get, not a true forecast.”

Let’s pause here a moment to contemplate what Walsh just admitted.

Walsh:

    • Now says he was ignorant about climate change numbers, despite being an expert for Time magazine.
    • Ignorant, except when he “didn’t always communicate” what he did know.
    • Which was that climate change “findings” were imaginary. Scare tactics, if you will.

Now Walsh says, “The world that RCP 8.5 assumed will never arrive.”

There is more to the story…

In March 2016, I posted the following (here):

If they were honest, the climate alarmists would admit that they are not working feverishly to hold down global temperatures — they would acknowledge that they are instead consumed with the goal of holding down capitalism and establishing a global welfare state.

Have doubts? Then listen to the words of former United Nations climate official Ottmar Edenhofer:

“One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with the environmental policy anymore, with problems such as deforestation or the ozone hole,” said Edenhofer, who co-chaired the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change working group on Mitigation of Climate Change from 2008 to 2015.

So what is the goal of environmental policy?

“We redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy,” said Edenhofer.

It never was about the climate.

Numbers Don’t Lie

Posted on by

On Saturday, PJ Media posted an article about crime statistics since Kash Patel took over as head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The numbers are amazing.

The article reports:

Murder and non-negligent manslaughter dropped more than 18% nationwide last year. Aggravated assault fell more than 7%. Rape declined nearly 8%. Robbery cratered by about 18.5%. All told, violent crime dropped about 9.3% overall; there were roughly 1.1 million fewer violent crimes than in 2024.

“The 2025 crime data in this report shows the single largest decrease in violent crime and murder since 1937 — as well as huge decreases across the board in terms of aggravated assault, rape, and robbery,” FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement.

Property crime wasn’t far behind. It dropped by about 12.4%, translating to approximately 5.2 million fewer property offenses than the year before. The data comes from the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program, which pulled information from more than 17,000 law enforcement agencies — covering roughly 96% of policing across the country.

This is what happens when you have a tough-on-crime administration running the country.

Patel credited the transformation happening inside the bureau. “Over the last 14 months, we made major transformations at the FBI, and these results show those changes are working.” He also pointed to his “back the blue” commitment — backing law enforcement rather than undermining it — as central to the approach.

The article concludes:

Rumors of Patel’s imminent firing spread online, fed by Democrats eager to paint him as a drunk and an incompetent. It was all just part of their ongoing smear campaign to force him out.

There’s no denying that the FBI under Kash Patel is producing results. The left spent months trying to convince America he was unstable and about to be shown the door. Instead, he’s overseeing the most dramatic crime reduction since Franklin Roosevelt was in the White House. This is what competence looks like.

Democrats were always terrified of Patel running the FBI, and not because they thought he was incompetent. They knew he’d dig into things like the Russian collusion hoax and the 2020 election. So they did what they always do: They tried to torch his reputation before he could get to work. The bogus narrative has blown up in their faces.

Going after people who broke the law is necessary, regardless of which political party they belong to. Wasting your time investigating parents who attended school board meetings or people praying at abortion clinics does nothing to make Americans safer.

Cleaning Up The Voter Rolls

Posted on by

On Friday, PJ Media posted an article about efforts to clean up the voter rolls on the west coast.

The article reports:

A wise man once told me that when he saw two numbers, he had an insatiable desire to divide one into the other, and so it is that we find out Oregon has agreed to take off 800,000 ineligible names from its voter rolls, which represent 25% of all Oregon registered voters. 

…Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch told me on the Adult in the Room Podcast that Oregon hadn’t cleaned out its voter rolls in about 30 years in defiance of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA). State officials settled a lawsuit with Judicial Watch, agreeing to clear out ineligible voters from rolls, starting with 160,000 voters who are dead, moved, or otherwise not voting in multiple elections. 

Los Angeles County, an area most rife with fraud and voter impersonation, agreed to remove 1.6 million ineligible voters from its voter rolls. All told, the conservative legal group has succeeded in removing more than six million dirty voters from their lists.

This is important because it removes names that can be used to generate ballots by bad hombres who use the zombie names and request a ballot, which happens all the time in L.A.

Our Republic will not survive unless we have voter integrity.

Is This Remodeling Necessary?

Posted on by

On Monday, PJ Media posted an article about some planned remodeling in a Minneapolis schools.

The article reports:

A school district in the Minneapolis suburbs is remodeling two high schools to fit “student needs,” by which it means adding a prayer room and foot-washing facilities specifically for Muslims.

Alpha News senior reporter Liz Collin posted on X April 20 the following screenshots regarding plans for a specifically configured “prayer room” as part of Park Center Senior High’s remodel and “footwash[s]” as part of Osseo Senior High School’s remodel. Osseo Schools in Minnesota confirmed the updates and claimed they were “included in updated plans after hearing from user groups on student needs.”

The person who sent in the tip to Collin noted that this prayer room is not a response to Christian or Jewish complaints and requirements, nor is the footwash purely for hygienic reasons. “This is undoubtedly for Muslim students only. I cannot understand how this can be happening in this era of no religion in schools,” the tipster argued.

By the way, this does not appear to be an original inspiration of Osseo Schools. Show host Glenn Beck reported last year that some Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minn., schools had Muslim prayer rooms in them.

The article notes:

As an important note, the Founding Fathers never intended to exclude religion from the public square or government institutions, and indeed the phrase “separation of church and state” never occurs in our founding documents. Indeed, many of the founders, including John Adams, George Washington, and John Jay, emphasized the importance of religion in the public square. It was also normal and accepted for legislatures and public schools across America to have prayers incorporated into their regular scheduled duties and exercises. But America was founded specifically to be a Judeo-Christian nation, and it is also true that the Founders were opposed to making one religion essentially the state religion or official religion of a particular institution or government entity. Yet that is exactly what is happening at the Minneapolis high schools.

If the school is also willing to put in prayer rooms for Jews and Christians, I am okay with this. Otherwise, the school is using tax dollars to promote a specific religion, which is unconstitutional.

Elections Have Consequences

Posted on by

In September 2018, I posted the following video:

The video explains how the political left changed the State of Colorado from a red state to a solidly blue state. The residents of Colorado are now feeling the consequences of that change.

On Monday, PJ Media reported:

“20 years ago Colorado was a Red state and thriving,” the State Leadership Initiative posted late last week. “10 years ago liberals were writing pieces about how Colorado was the next Silicon Valley.” And now CBS News reports that “Colorado is losing businesses and jobs at an alarming rate.”

This was the hope, according to Denver-based 5280 magazine in 2020: “With another tech company setting up an office in Denver, the state could become a magnet for Silicon Valley firms and other prestigious businesses during the worst economic climate in nearly a century.”

Instead of Silicon Mountain, Colorado is quickly becoming “an economic backwater,” as SLI put it, “an omen for what happens when Red states go blue.”

It seems like only last week [It was just last week, Steve —Editor] I shared the schadenfreudelicious tale of how one TDS-suffering Delaware judge launched an exodus of big-name firms led by Elon Musk. Today, I must share similar news about my once-beloved home state of Colorado.

“The Colorado Chamber of Commerce has been sounding an alarm for years about excessive regulation,” CBS reported, and “the Chamber also said that companies are also relocating out-of-state.” According to the story, “since 2019, 98 companies have either left the state, expanded elsewhere, or scrapped plans to move here.” In the last four years, we’ve lost a total of 34 corporate headquarters, too. 

The most recent big name to leave is Palantir, the AI firm recently touted by President Donald Trump for its invaluable contributions to Operation Epic Fury. With basically zero fanfare, the company announced last week that it’s moved its HQ to Miami. 

Please follow the link and read the entire article. It includes a comparison of where Colorado was in 2018 before the Democrats took over and where it is now. Please watch the above video. This is the playbook–it can be used in any state.

Justice Delayed Is Justice Denied

Posted on by

Most Americans have seen the video of Decarlos Brown Jr. stabbing Iryna Zarutska to death on the Charlotte, North Carolina, subway. Unfortunately, Brown has been found “incapable to proceed” on state murder charges.

On Wednesday, PJ Media reported:

The serial criminal who murdered Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a Charlotte subway just for being white just received another break, as a hospital claimed he was incapable of standing trial and prosecutors have delayed his competency hearing by six months.

In an apparent effort to delay and thus perhaps permanently undermine justice for Iryna Zarutska’s killer, prosecutors have accepted the assessment from Central Regional Hospital, leaving a judge to decide whether to reject the assessment and proceed with the April 30 hearing to delay 180 days as the hospital and prosecutors recommend. The new claim that Decarlos Brown is “incapable to proceed” on state murder charges became public in a motion filed April 7, according to the New York Post.

Decarlos Dejuan Brown Jr. already had 14 arrests on his record when he boarded a Charlotte subway train in August 2025 with violence on his mind. Brown did not know Iryna, who was also riding the subway and quietly minding her own business. But Brown suddenly and randomly approached Iryna and stabbed the young woman to death while most of the other passengers looked another way, refusing to intervene. Just before he got off the train, video of Brown shows him gloating to himself, “Got that white girl.” 

The article notes:

The new assessment that Brown is incompetent to stand trial could prevent trying him for the death penalty. From the New York Post:

Brown is also facing federal charges — and will remain in custody on that case, his lawyer Daniel Roberts said.

A judge must now determine whether to accept the report’s findings, and the case against him will likely be delayed until his capacity is determined to be “restored” by the court, the station reported…If a judge agrees Brown is incompetent to stand trial, state law mandates the charges be dismissed. However, if the judge issues the ruling without prejudice, state murder charges could be refiled if he ever regains his capacity to be tried.

It will be a serious miscarriage of justice if Brown is not put on trial for his crime. I understand the concept of innocent until proven guilty, but the video of the incident is pretty clear evidence of what happened. At any rate, he should never be able to walk the streets freely again.

Islam Is Not A Religion Of Tolerance

Posted on by

Remember that in March 2001 the Taliban in Afghanistan blew up the ancient Buddha statues of Bamiyan in Afghanistan, monuments carved into sandstone cliffs 1,500 years ago that symbols of the region’s history. There was no acknowledgement of their historical significance. They were not part of Islam and were thus destroyed. A leopard does not change its spots.

On Monday, PJ Media reported:

Last week, I reported on an Iranian strike that hit dangerously near the Church of the Holy Sepulcher — built over Christ’s gravestone — and the Western Wall, the last remaining part of the final Jewish Temple. Just in case there was any doubt as to the Iranian Islamic regime deliberately wanting to hit important religious sites during the conflict with Israel and the USA, on March 16 shrapnel again rained down on Old City Jerusalem, damaging part of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.

The state of Israel shared a photograph with an image of the shrapnel that hit the roof:

The article notes:

Another important clarification is that Israel did intercept the Iranian missiles, but that did not entirely block the shrapnel from falling down on structures below.

The article concludes:

Churches and chapels connected to Christ’s Passion, the Western Wall, and Al Aqsa mosque compound have all narrowly escaped destruction from Iranian counterstrikes. As someone who thinks the Al Aqsa mosque compound should have been removed years ago from the Temple Mount when the Israelis retook Jerusalem from the jihadi Jordanians, I would not exactly be sorry if the Iranians accidentally destroyed that mosque, except that they might take out some innocent civilians at the same time.

Iranian proxy Hamas uses Al Aqsa’s presence there as an excuse for claiming Jerusalem for Islam, hence the Oct. 7 massacre was “Al Aqsa flood.” It would be incredibly ironic, however, if the Iranian regime accidentally hit the mosque that they use as an excuse for claiming Jerusalem shouldn’t be owned by Jews.

Iran is a blight on the Middle East. They have funded terror since 1979. I pray that this war will end quickly and that the Persian people will again be free and in charge of Iran.

Providing A Campaign Ad For The Republicans In The Mid-Term Elections

Posted on by

Late Tuesday night, PJ Media posted an article about the Democrats’ response to President Trump at one point in the State of the Union Speech. I am sure that the President’s statement and the Democrat response will be repeated in Republican campaign ads all over the country.

The article reports:

According to reports, more than 70 Democrats chose not to attend the speech, but most did, and several times over the course of the evening, they made a choice. They sat. They scowled. They heckled. While Republicans rose time and again in applause, the left side of the chamber looked like a group of children being punished.

And Trump noticed.

He called them out — repeatedly — for refusing to show even the most basic bipartisan enthusiasm for moments that should have been beyond politics. But nothing cut deeper than one specific challenge he laid down for every lawmaker in that room.

“One of the great things about the State of the Union is how it gives Americans the chance to see clearly what their representatives really believe,” Trump said. “So, tonight, I’m inviting every legislator to join with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle. If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support. The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.”

Republicans exploded. They stood, clapped, and whistled for a solid two minutes. It was the kind of raw, spontaneous reaction you can’t manufacture.

Democrats didn’t move.

Not a shuffle. Not a courtesy clap. Nothing.

Trump let their refusal to stand do the work for a moment.

Then he turned the knife.

“Isn’t that a shame? You should be ashamed of yourself, not standing up,” he said.

Oh, but he wasn’t done.

He kept going. “That is why I’m also asking you to end deadly sanctuary cities that protect the criminals and enact serious penalties for public officials who block the removal of criminal aliens, in many cases, drug lords, murderers, all over our country. They’re blocking the removal of these people out of our country! And you should be ashamed of yourself.”

At this point, Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib were shouting at him from their seats.

It was an interesting night.

Dealing With Circular Logic

Posted on by

On Friday, PJ Media posted an article about Senator Schumer’s remarks about requiring voter identification. The Senator has been consistently comparing voter id laws to Jim Crow laws. He seems to be in a panic that voter id will pass the Senate. Well, Vice-President J.D. Vance had the perfect answer to the Senator’s comments.

The article reports:

JD Vance just dismantled the Democrats’ absurd war on basic voter security, and he did it with such a simple argument that I have to call attention to it.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer caught heat after blasting the SAVE Act as “Jim Crow 2.0” earlier this week.

“I have said it before, and I’ll say it again, the SAVE Act would impose Jim Crow-type laws on the entire country and is dead on arrival in the Senate,” Schumer said Monday. “The SAVE Act is reminiscent of Jim Crow era laws and would expand them to the whole of America.”

He then doubled down on this rhetoric during an appearance on MSNOW’s Morning Joe. He doubled down, insisting the bill poisons any spending deal in Congress.

He lit up Megyn Kelly’s show with a takedown that hit like a freight train. “We want the sovereignty to be with the people who cast the ballots, and that’s why we have to get the SAVE Act passed,” Vance said. He mocked the left’s favorite dodge. “You’ll hear people say all the time… ‘Well, if you look at this precinct, you know, only three illegal aliens voted in this election.’ Number one, that’s three illegal aliens too many, and number two, if it’s not a big problem, then why not just allow us to check ID and exercise some basic precautions to prevent illegal aliens from voting?”

The article notes the problem with Senator Schumer’s logic:

Vance nailed the contradiction. Democrats scream fraud never happens. Then they fight tooth and nail to stop fixes. “I never quite understand the person who says, ‘On the one hand, this never happens, and on the other hand, your effort to prevent it from happening is a threat to American democracy,’ which is fundamentally the Democrats’ argument.”

…Schumer’s meltdown proves Vance’s point. Democrats fear clean elections. Americans want ID checks. Vance exposed the game. Democrats have relied on lax rules for too long. Republicans must hold the line and pass the SAVE Act.

It’s time for Congress to listen to the American people who overwhelmingly support voter id laws.

The Trump Effect

Posted on by

José Antonio Kast has been elected as the new President of Chile.

On Sunday, PJ Media reported:

You can tell what type of leader he’ll be based on the MSM headlines. I just did a quick Google search to see what people were saying, and all the usual suspects are calling him “far-right” and “ultra-conservative.” Let me interpret that for you.

Kast campaigned on being tough on crime and restoring law and order to the South American nation. That includes deploying the military to cities with high crimes, strengthening the country’s borders, mass deportations of hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, putting the interests of native Chileans first, and getting tough with cartels and terrorist organizations like Tren de Aragua.

Gee, where have I heard this before? Many people have called him Chile’s Donald Trump. He and his supporters have even used the phrase “Make Chile Great Again” during his campaign.

That’s why the MSM is already labeling him with these little dog whistle phrases they use. In certain media circles, saying “far-right” and “ultra-conservative” essentially means “this guy is Hitler.”

The 59-year-old Kast is Catholic and also pro-family — he and his wife have nine children. He’s also a strong abortion opponent. Economically, he’s in favor of cutting billions in government spending and embraces marked-oriented reform.

President Trump has not yet been successful in implementing all of his policies. However, he has made moves in the direction of cutting spending and increasing revenue. He has enforced the immigration laws already on the books and is continuing to do so. Inflation is under control, and gradually, some of our major cities are becoming safer.

The article concludes:

Kast also supports Trump’s anti-drug trafficking activity in the Caribbean and does not consider Nicolás Maduro the legitimate leader of Venezuela. He even supports any U.S. action to get rid of Maduro.

I feel like I say this at least once a week, but it’s a sign of the times. Many Latin American and Caribbean countries are swinging to the right.

…Colombia and Brazil both go to the polls next year, and while the right remains fragmented in both countries, there’s always the potential for a change. Brazil is more of an uphill battle, as Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva plans to run for another term, but after four years of an unpopular Gustavo Petro, Colombia’s first leftist president in its history, I could see many voters in that country suffering from socialism and/or lunatic fatigue and voting for a right-winger if they have a good candidate.

People want good leadership.

Suspicions Are Being Confirmed

Posted on by

On Monday, PJ Media posted an article about another whistleblower who has come forth from the Maduro regime with stories of purposeful gang placements in America, election fraud and bought Congressmen. This confirms what we have heard from a previous whistleblower, but it is NOT good news. Please follow the link to read the entire article.

It is a long article, but here are a few of the highlights:

As of Monday evening, another former Maduro insider has come forward with a similar letter, which was also provided to the Dallas Express.

Former Major General Cliver Antonio Alcalá Cordones was a high-ranking commander in Venezuela’s armed forces who served under Hugo Chávez, and at one point in time he was more powerful than even Maduro within the Chávez government. He was on the U.S. radar for drug trafficking and related crimes for quite a while, but after Chávez died he and the Maduro regime eventually parted ways. He moved to Colombia, began staging a halfhearted anti-Maduro coup with some various U.S. contractors, and by 2020 gave up and turned himself in to U.S. authorities, agreeing to cooperate with them.

…After Chávez’s death in 2013 and Nicolás Maduro’s assumption of power, I requested my retirement from the army despite offers to continue, because I was unwilling to serve under his command. It was very clear to me that a criminal gang leader was taking power. From that moment on, it became public knowledge that I became a staunch opponent of the dictator Maduro.

With his political consolidation, the prison-based criminal structures were strengthened under his control: there were direct communications from the prisons to him, with Potro Álvarez acting as the facilitator of links with prison leaders; instructions were even given to those leaders to control inmates’ votes in elections, while criminals came and went to commit crimes and the prisons functioned as weapons and other illegal elements’ depots.

Some of those criminals—including corrupt union leaders linked to a Chinese-funded Aragua– Carabobo railway project—form part of the group now known as Tren de Aragua, which has been used by Maduro for his criminal purposes ever since.

Nicolás Maduro, trained and formed in Cuba, used these criminal schemes from the prisons for personal gain, replicating practices he learned in that country. Nicolás Maduro’s government exported this criminal organization to other countries, including the United States of America.

The article quotes the letter from Major General Cliver Antonio Alcalá Cordones:

Electoral Frauds

In the electoral sphere, Army General Carlos Quintero—a member of Venezuelan military intelligence—and current vice president of the National Electoral Council (CNE) has been responsible for committing electoral fraud. General Quintero was the engineer in charge of Venezuela’s Smartmatic electoral technology used to carry out the frauds. Most elections in Venezuela have been manipulated by Maduro’s government. I am aware of the use of parallel Smartmatic voting systems to alter results, especially in locaGons without opposition party representatives, making irregularities difficult to detect. This is the same technology used in other countries including USA by the company Smartmatic. The controllers of this entire system are the siblings Jorge and Delcy Rodríguez.

Bringing Common Sense To Foreign Aid

Posted on by

On Friday, PJ Media posted an article about changing the American foreign aid model so that it is more efficient and helps the people who need help.

The article reports:

The truth is that our foreign aid had become a joke — a way to line pockets and spread wacko leftist ideology more than anything. Rubio told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos — who tried to do that whole “Trump is killing people by cutting aid” thing — back in September that “We’re gonna do more than anyone in the world, again, this year, but we’re gonna do it the right way. We’re gonna do it holistically. We’re gonna do it as part of an integrated foreign policy.”

During that interview, Rubio pointed out that the reason why people die is much more nuanced than what the media wants to print. In some regions, wars prevent aid from reaching its target, or gangs steal it before it can reach its intended recipients. In some places, the middlemen, the distributors, simply don’t handle it well, etc. The world is not a one-size-fits-all situation, George.

The article includes Secretary of State Rubio’s statement about his plan:

The United States has spent billions of dollars over the years in helping with health strategies all across the world.  What we learned over time and especially after coming here, is that oftentimes – and I’m oversimplifying it, but this is an accurate description – what would happen is we would go to a country and say we’re going to help you with your health care needs. Then we would drive over to western – northern Virginia somewhere, find an NGO, one of these organizations, give them all the money, tell them, “go to this country and do their health care program for them.” That NGO would then take about – some percentage of that money for their overhead and administrative costs, and by the time it got down to it, the host country had very little influence, it was sort of imposed on them, and only a percentage of the overall money ever actually reached the patients and the people on the ground that we were trying to help because of these costs.

This makes no sense. So why are we hiring American and international NGOs to go into other countries and run health care systems that are parallel and sometimes in conflict with the health care systems of the host country? If we’re trying to help countries, help the country, don’t help the NGO to go in and find a new line of business. And so, that’s the model that we’re breaking. We’re not doing this anymore. We are not going to spend billions of dollars funding the NGO industrial complex, while close and important partners like Kenya either have no role to play or have very little influence over how health care money is being spent. Bottom line is, if you want to help a country, work with that country, not work with a third party that imposes things on that country. 

When you eliminate the middle man, more money can go toward solving the problem.

The Real Cost Of Illegal Immigration

Posted on by

On Thursday, PJ Media posted an article about the long-term consequences of unlimited illegal immigration. The article tells the story of a small Kentucky town.

The article reports:

I grew up forty miles north of Louisville, Ky., in a one-stoplight town held together by tobacco, construction, and the kinds of gritty jobs that built the region’s character. My dad ran a small construction contracting business and held a small tobacco base, which gives you the legal right to grow a certain weight of tobacco. My brothers and I worked tobacco as teenagers, starting at 12 or 13, and my brothers did construction with Dad as soon as we were old enough to hold a hammer. 

Those jobs weren’t easy. Tobacco paid around $10 an hour in the early-to-mid 1980s, the equivalent of $30 today, and you earned every penny. The work was filthy, exhausting, and dangerous: Sticky sap soaked into your skin, July sun cooked you alive, and harvest season meant hatchets, long metal spikes, and dark, dusty barn lofts where one bad step could break a leg. But we did it gladly because the pay was good and the work meant something. Every kid I knew in high school worked tobacco, along with a good share of the adults. It was the backbone of the community. 

Then illegal labor arrived, and things began to shift. The first wave hit the tobacco farms. Farmers who had paid teenagers and local laborers fair wages realized they could hire adults from Mexico and Central America for far less and house them in the kinds of conditions Americans would never tolerate: eight men to a sagging, leaking trailer with no electricity, no running water, no insulation. They were paid in cash, they didn’t complain, they worked year-round, and they had no leverage because they knew their employers could always get them deported. Within a few seasons, American teenagers were no longer hired. Within a few more, the full-time local farmhands, many of whom had been in the area for generations, were gone, too. My parents saw exactly what was happening when one neighbor proudly moved an entire illegal crew into a run-down trailer on their property on a hillside, right in the center of a dairy cow pasture. They thought they had found a clever solution to their labor costs. My parents were disgusted, because they understood what it meant: the beginning of the end for the community’s economic life.

Please follow the link above to read the rest of the story. The importation of illegal laborers that are paid less than the minimum wage hurts all working Americans.

An Interesting Perspective

Posted on by

On the surface, things did not go well for the Republicans on Tuesday. But there might be some light at the end of this tunnel. Some of the results are exactly what should have been expected. As of 2024, approximately 350,000 Virginia residents work in civilian federal jobs, why would they vote for a party that is cutting many of those jobs. Streamlining the government and making it more efficient are not popular ideas in northern Virginia.

On Wednesday, November 5th, PJ Media noted:

The Dems’ flying monkeys in the mainstream media will have a field day with this, loudly proclaiming a huge repudiation of President Trump. There’s no basis in reality for that. I am not at all surprised that things went poorly for Republicans in four states that voted for Kamala Harris last year. Voting Democrat wasn’t very popular last year, and it hasn’t gotten any cooler this year. My stomach isn’t going to be twisted into knots because people who voted to send the country down the leftist toilet last year are continuing to do so.

One of the things that I have been saying in the last year is that the Dems’ extremist behavior since the presidential election last year isn’t doing anything to win back the voters they have been losing. They have essentially been playing to a captive audience, one that enjoys being captive. So the audience was a lot louder on Tuesday night, it was still the same audience, nobody new showed up.

Two of the races will make it nigh on impossible for the Dems to come up with a sales pitch to win back those who felt that the party had become uncomfortably extreme. Now the aforementioned commie jihadist will be front and center for the Democrats as the mayor of the biggest city in the country. Virginia Dems giving Jay Jones a pass for openly fantasizing about murdering Republicans isn’t going to make the case to flyover country Dems and independents that the party is making a return to normalcy. The only thing that they could have done worse in that regard is elect a drag queen serial killer to one of the offices up for grabs last night.

The Democrats have made a habit recently of showing that they have no basic principles when it comes to supporting candidates.

Never Get Into A Battle Of Wits With J D Vance!

Posted on by

J D Vance is one of the most media savvy Vice-Presidents we have ever had. I wonder how much longer the mainstream media will allow him to come onto their shows and verbally annihilate their left-wing ‘newscasters.’

On Friday, PJ Media posted an article about J D Vance’s latest handling of the media.

The article reports:

It had to be deliberate: JD Vance is simply too smart and too politically savvy for it to be accidental. (And in just a few paragraphs, we’ll reveal his chess move that — if successful — will end the 2025 government shutdown with a complete and total surrender by the Democratic Party.)

Either way, the pivotal moment is just 24 hours away: Saturday, Oct. 18, the day of the nationwide “No Kings” protests. That’s when we’ll find out if Vance’s bold PR strategy succeeded. (More on that in just a sec.)

But we begin with one simple question: Why the heck did Vance needlessly interject himself in the Young Republican group-text scandal?

If you haven’t been paying attention, three days ago, Politico leaked seven months of Telegram text messages between Young Republican leaders from Arizona, New York, Kansas, and Vermont. Lots of the content was explicitly NSFW.

The contents were horrible. The young people involved are totally ignorant and cruel.

The article at PJ Media continues:

When the “scandal” broke, the Young Republicans had three PR options:

    1. Issue a sniveling, groveling, all-encompassing apology and beg for forgiveness;
    2. Issue a limited apology;
    3. Offer no apology.

The Young Republicans chose option #1 — and they did so with gusto. The Kansas chapter of Young Republicans has already disbanded, and most of the GOP establishment sang from the same hymn sheet as Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.)

The article explains what J D Vance did with the information:

He leveraged the “outrage” over the Young Republicans texting story to shine a bright national spotlight on the Jay Jones scandal that’s brewing in Virginia.

In Virginia’s attorney general’s race, exactly one month before Election Day, the National Review broke news about the Democratic attorney general nominee, Jay Jones, fantasizing about murdering his political enemies — along with their children.

Actions Have Consequences

Posted on by

In his book, The Art of War, Sun Tzu states,  “Know your enemy and know yourself.” It also pays to know when your enemy has morphed from something you could simply roll over easily into something much more formidable. I believe that this is the mistake the Democrats have made in creating a government shutdown.

On Sunday, PJ Media reported:

The Democrats have backed themselves into a corner again, and this time, it’s not just political theater—it’s a standoff with serious consequences. The Schumer Shutdown is dragging into its second week, and President Donald Trump is done waiting for Democrats to come around. The message from the White House is crystal clear: if the talks with Democrats “are absolutely going nowhere,” as National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett put it, mass layoffs of federal workers are coming.

The shutdown began when Senate Democrats refused to support a short-term funding bill that would have kept government agencies running through November 21. Their justification? They’re insisting on reopening the loophole closed by the One Big Beautiful Bill, which had prevented taxpayer dollars from funding health care for illegal immigrants. On top of that, they’re pushing to spend billions on other radical left-wing priorities.

…Behind closed doors, administration officials reportedly see this moment as an opportunity to do more than just win a standoff—they see a chance to make structural changes. After years of bureaucratic bloat, Trump’s team views this as a moment to permanently streamline the federal workforce, cutting costs and reshaping agencies that have long outgrown their usefulness.

The article concludes:

This shutdown is more than a budget dispute—it’s a test of priorities. The White House is protecting taxpayers and forcing accountability. Democrats, meanwhile, are digging in on giveaways that benefit the few at the expense of the many. The question now is simple: will Democrats end this shutdown before more Americans lose their jobs, or will they keep the lights off in Washington until they get free healthcare for people who aren’t even citizens? The clock is ticking, and Trump just made it clear he’s willing to let them live with the consequences of their choice.

It’s going to be an interesting week.

The Health Care Heist

Posted on by

On Wednesday, PJ Media posted an article about the biggest health care heist in American history. The heist was discovered thanks to the efforts of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), artificial intelligence (AI), and basic law enforcement techniques.

The article reports:

If you didn’t hear about the bust of 324 people; the U.S.-based cartel shell medical supply companies; the pill mills pushing opioids; the doctors on the take; or how law enforcement captured many of the bad guys at the U.S. border and airports as they rushed to escape, that’s understandable. The feds revealed this potential $14.6 billion “depth charge” planted inside the Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance programs in June, while most people were away on summer vacation.

Why did transnational organizations go after these particular programs? “Criminals go where the money is,” Acting Health and Human Services Inspector General,Juliet Hodgkins said at a news conference about “the largest health care fraud takedown in American history.” There’s more than $1.4 trillion spent by these government programs per year, and the bad guys have tried, by hook or by crook, and even with the aid of AI, to set into motion plans to steal nearly $15 billion. They got away with just shy of $3 billion before they were caught, and their other frauds were frozen in their tracks.

If this bust looks to you like it had Elon Musk’s old Department of Government Efficiency fingerprints on it, you’d be right. Using AI and law enforcement tactics, the DOGE team worked with HHS, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid, and an all-hands-on-deck array of federal agents from the DEA, FBI, and health care agencies to track down all fraud leads, according to Dr. Mehmet Oz, head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). As a result, the feds are setting up a healthcare data fusion center to detect where fraud spikes are occurring in near real time.

The article concludes:

Other scams used a network of Phoenix-based sober living houses to demand government payments for people who never got addiction treatment at the facilities. The facilities, run by ProMD, received $560 million before the feds caught on to the scam.

In Atlanta, medical professionals ordered skin grafts for dying patients who didn’t need them. By the time the grift was discovered, they’d scammed Medicare out of $760 million.

People from as far away as Estonia have been arrested. Seven people were found trying to scuttle over the southern U.S. border but were stopped before they got away. Another bunch were caught trying to leave the country from U.S. airports.

The bad actors from Russia, Pakistan, and Eastern Europe used the American health care system like their “personal piggy bank,” the Department of Justice’s Acting Criminal Division leader, Matthew Galeotti, said. He said that “this was a staggering breach of trust” and they “will prosecute these criminals as aggressively as we would any drug dealer because that’s exactly what they are.”

Musk, who stepped away from the White House after a rift with President Donald Trump, is the one who conceived and executed the DOGE project, and he’s a damned American hero. Let’s give that guy a medal for saving American taxpayers yet another tranche of billions.

All of this fraud was paid for by the American taxpayers.

The Early Decisions That Led To The War In Ukraine

Posted on by

The current war in Ukraine began in 2014 when Russia occupied and annexed Crimea from Ukraine. Things remained relatively quiet after that until 2022 when Russia launched its invasion into Ukraine. Ukraine was a part of the Soviet Union from 1922 until its independence in 1991. It’s a good idea to remember that Putin has had his eye on Ukraine for a long time–taking territory in Ukraine would mean that Russia has a warm-water port. That history needs to be considered when attempting to end the current war.

On Tuesday, PJ Media posted an article illustrating how three American Presidents laid the groundwork for this war.

The first President mentioned is Bill Clinton.

The article quotes a Newsweek article:

In April 2023, Newsweek reported:

Former U.S. President Bill Clinton has said he feels a “personal stake” in Ukraine’s war with Russia because of his role in persuading Kyiv to surrender nuclear weapons in the aftermath of the Cold War.

“I feel a personal stake because I got them [Ukraine] to agree to give up their nuclear weapons,” Clinton told Irish broadcaster RTÉ. “None of them believe that Russia would have pulled this stunt if Ukraine still had their weapons,” he said.

Ukraine retained a stockpile of nuclear weapons after the Soviet Union collapsed. In 1994, Ukraine gave up these nuclear weapons, although Kyiv did not have definitive control over Soviet nuclear weapons before signing up for non-proliferation.

The Second President mentioned is Barack Obama.

The article reports:

If your hats consist of tinfoil, have I got a doozy of a conspiracy for you: Imagine if President Trump was caught on a “hot” microphone telling the Russian president that he’d have “more flexibility” after the U.S. election… and then, two years later, did NOTHING when Russia invaded its neighbor.

Why, the liberal media would be outraged! They’d say it’s proof-positive that Trump was a Russian asset all along!

But that’s exactly what happened with President Obama.

This was in March of 2012 — the same year Obama chastised Mitt Romney for naming Russia as our #1 geopolitical threat

Then, two years later, the Russian military rolls into Crimea.

The third President mentioned is Joe Biden. When President Biden declared war on fossil fuels, the price of oil went up and the Russian economy flourished. At that point Russia could afford to invade Ukraine.

The article reports:

Mark Mazur, who left the Treasury Department in September, made a troubling admission last month: “We don’t want lower prices for fossil-fuel buyers. We prefer higher prices.”

All this was a godsend for Russia’s oil empire. European nations, including Germany, increased their dependence on cheap, reliable Russian petro. 

It directly funded the Russian War Machine.

Next was the disastrous U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. The deterrence capacity of the American military flew straight out the window when the Taliban ran roughshod in Kabul, making mincemeat of our allies. 

It was an international disgrace.

The third and final error was sleepwalking the Ukrainians into an unwinnable war with its much-larger neighbor by dangling the gift of NATO membership. On Dec. 9, 2021, Reuters ran this story: “Biden assures Zelenskiy that NATO membership in Ukraine’s hands, Kyiv says.”

Ukraine joining NATO was always going to be a flashpoint for Russia. They didn’t want NATO forces or equipment on their border.

The Goal Of The Democrat Party

Posted on by

On Thursday, PJ Media posted an article explaining what the Democrats plan to do if they gain control of Congress in 2026. Obviously, the first thing they plan to do is to impeach President Trump. We all want to go back to the Biden economy, right? Voters need to see the dangers ahead if the Democrats gain control of Congress–the danger is not just economic.

The article reports:

Democrats have completely dropped the pretense of fair play and now openly admit that they intend to rig the system to secure permanent control. James Carville, a longtime Democratic strategist, declared that if Democrats win big in 2028, they should use that victory as a launchpad to cement their power in ways never seen before.

Carville explicitly called for adding Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, both reliably Democratic strongholds, as new states to skew electoral influence. On top of that, he advocated expanding the Supreme Court to 13 seats, packing it with leftist judges to tilt future judicial decisions in their favor. In other words, Democrats are no longer content with trying to win elections; they want to change the rules so they can’t lose them.

“If the Democrats win the presidency, the Senate and the House in 2028, which is not impossible — I don’t know if you’d say likely or possible, I don’t know what word, you know, but it’s certainly not impossible — they are just gonna have to unilaterally add Puerto Rico and District of Columbia states,” he said.

We have already seen the howls of panic at the idea that the Republicans might copy the Democrats and gerrymander election districts. Now the Democrats are hoping to change the rules so that America only has one political party in power indefinitely. So who is the threat to democracy? Just for the record, we are a constitutional republic–not a democracy.

Let’s get an accurate census, redistrict in a way that favors neither party, and have an honest election.

Working Toward Election Integrity

Posted on by

Anyone who remembers the 1960 presidential election between John Kennedy and Richard Nixon understands that Illinois (particularly Chicago) might have a problem with voter integrity. The question becomes what to do about it. Some other states have similar problems. Oddly enough, the answer may lie in the courts.

On Monday, PJ Media reported:

Federal courts have allowed two lawsuits to proceed against California and Illinois to force them to clean up their voter rolls.

Democrats have been engaging in election fraud for well over a century and a half, but I don’t think any of us understood the extent of the election integrity problem in our day until the last few election cycles. One aspect of potential fraud is the presence of ‘dirty names’ on voter rolls—individuals who are not legally allowed to be there, whether because they are illegal aliens, deceased, or disqualified for other reasons. Those are the names Judicial Watch and two other organizations are suing to remove in two deep blue states.

“The voter rolls in Illinois and California are a mess and these court decisions allow our Judicial Watch legal team to proceed in court to clean them up,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton stated in a press release. “The stakes are high—as there are potentially millions of ineligible names on the voter rolls in these two states.”

The article concludes:

Both lawsuits can now move forward thanks to the rulings from last week.

This is a good beginning.

Common Sense From A Congressman

Posted on by

On Tuesday, Fox News reported the following:

Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., is calling on the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to revoke the nonprofit status of a Muslim advocacy group that he believes has ties to terror groups, including Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.

In the letter, Cotton notes that “in the largest terrorism-financing case in U.S. history, [the Council on American-Islamic Relations] was listed as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestine Committee.” CAIR was listed as an unindicted coconspirator in the infamous Holy Land Foundation (HLF) terrorism financing case. The organization later attempted, unsuccessfully, to have its name removed from the list.

The Justice Department found that HLF and five of its leaders had, while working together and with others, “provided material support to the Hamas movement.” In total, the groups provided Hamas with approximately $12.4M, according to the DOJ.

In July of 2024, PJ Media reported:

The first indication of the activities of this clandestine (Muslim) Brotherhood organization came in September 2007, with the revelation during the Holy Land Foundation Hamas terrorism funding trial of a document dating from May 1991, “An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Brotherhood in North America.” It stated that “The process of settlement is a ‘Civilization-Jihadist Process’ with all the word means. The Ikhwan [Brotherhood] must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions” (p. 7).

The article concludes:

CAIR was disavowed by the Biden administration after the organization’s executive director appeared to praise Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacre. In November 2023, just weeks after the attacks, CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad said he was “happy to see” Palestinians “breaking the siege and throwing down the shackles of their own land.” Additionally, in his remarks, Awad appeared to further justify the attacks, saying that “the people of Gaza have the right to self-defense” and that Israel does not.

The New York Times quoted then-Biden spokesperson Andrew Bates as saying that the administration condemned the “shocking, antisemitic statements in the strongest terms.”

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) slammed Awad’s recent remarks about the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites. The national executive director said that “Netanyahu calls the shots. Trump pretends to be in charge.” Additionally, the ADL pointed out that Hussam Ayloush, executive director of CAIR’s Los Angeles chapter, referred to Congress and the White House as “Israeli-occupied territories.”

The remarks are not shocking once you realize who CAIR is. Their nonprofit status should be revoked and they should be monitored closely for terrorist activity. If you have not yet read the document referred to in the PJ Media article, please take the time to read it. It is important.

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.
