“I forgive him…because it was what Christ did, and it’s what Charlie would do.“
– Erika Kirk
“As a Black man, it hurts my soul to see people call Charlie Kirk a racist. I knew him personally and I can tell you, he was nothing but kind to me. Charlie never looked at me as a color, he looked at me as a friend, as a brother.”
– Terrence K. Williams
“I think Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form.“
– President Donald J. Trump
“I thought the Russia-Ukraine war would be the easiest one because of my relationship with Putin but unfortunately that relationship didn’t mean anything.”
– President Donald J. Trump
“In 2024, almost 50% of inmates in German prisons were foreign nationals or migrants… In Switzerland, it’s 72%… When your prisons are filled with so-called asylum-seekers who repaid kindness with crime, it’s time to END the failed experiment of Open Borders.”
– President Donald J. Trump
“Europe is in serious trouble. They’ve been invaded by a force of illegal aliens like the world has never seen… and because they choose to be politically correct, they are doing nothing about it.“
– President Donald J. Trump
“In the event that Russia is not ready to make a deal to end the war, then the United States is fully prepared to impose a very strong round of powerful tariffs… But for those tariffs to be effective, European nations would have to join us in adopting the exact same measures… they have to immediately cease ALL energy purchases from Russia.”
– President Donald J. Trump
“America stands ready today to displace all of the Russian gas that goes into Europe, and all of the Russian refined products from oil as well.”
– US Energy Secretary Chris Wright
“The United States is a partner in NATO, a member of NATO, the most important member of NATO, and I think yesterday at the UN, our new Ambassador here, made very clear, we will work with our Allies to defend every inch of NATO territory.”
– U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio
“If the government gets in the business of saying, ‘We don’t like what you, the media, have said; we’re going to ban you from the airwaves if you don’t say what we like’ — that will end up bad for conservatives.”
– U.S. Senator Ted Cruz
“I know what it’s like to pull the Republican lever for the first time, because I used to be a Democrat myself, and I can tell you it only hurts for a minute and then it feels just great.”
– Ronald Reagan
Trump Was Right…Again: At the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York, President Trump said, “I think Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form.“
President Trump bent over backwards to try and accommodate Putin, to bring him to the negotiating table, and find a peaceful solution to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
It didn’t work.
President Trump believed negotiations and peace were a realistic and attainable goal “because of my relationship with Putin, but unfortunately that relationship didn’t mean anything.”
Putin may have tried to play President Trump. He clearly played on his relationship to buy more time, and it has become abundantly clear Putin is not interested in peace.
We could have peace tomorrow if Russian troops returned to their country and respected their neighbors’ borders. Peace and prosperity just need to overcome someone’s ego.
It is that simple and that easy.
Democrats Threaten to Shut Down Government: Amazing! The Democrats are trying to blackmail taxpayers and the Republican Members of Congress.
The House Republicans voted to keep the government open and sent a clean, nonpartisan short-term government funding bill to the Senate. Now, Democrats are threatening to shut down the federal government.
They are willing to shut down the government unless their demands are met, which include:
– Reinstatement of FREE health care for ILLEGAL ALIENS
– $500 million for LIBERAL news outlets and other partisan priorities
In sum, this would be a MASSIVE $1.5 TRILLION spending HIKE tacked onto what is a simple 7-week funding bill. Unless they stop holding government funding hostage, this will clearly be the DEMOCRAT SHUTDOWN.
Charlie Kirk Remembered: Millions of Americans and friends from around the world watched Charlie Kirk’s memorial service and many more paid their respects in various ways.
The impact on faith, family, and public policy/engagement can’t be understated.
There has to be an awakening, albeit one some don’t like, that inspires people to reflect on their families, faith, country, and fellow man. This is a good thing.
We don’t have to always agree on everything, and an open society that can peacefully discuss and debate various issues is a healthy society.
There are those who want to divide us. There are others who want to destroy us. And there are those who prefer to use chaos to accomplish their political objectives.
America is more than a country, it’s an idea. An idea based on liberty and Judeo-Christian values.
Maybe it’s time for a renewal that allows us to live in peace, tolerance, and understanding. And for those unwilling to accept these basic tenets, most of which are spelled out in our Constitution and the Bill of Rights, find another country that better fits your values.
A New Fairness Doctrine for Federally Funded Universities: I think there is a consensus that our educational institutions are biased if not ineffective in teaching our children.
I have a solution… or at least a start…
If a university gets federal or state taxpayer funds, it should apply the fairness doctrine to the viewpoints presented by professors. Universities should strive to have half of their professors come from a center-right perspective and the other half from the center-left perspective.
Professors from each side could create a committee that would review and “certify” professors coming from their respective perspective, self-regulating a fair distribution of thought and bias. No one side could ever go above 60% on one side or the other… at which point there would have to be a mandatory adjustment.
No “third party” arbitrators or “neutral” bureaucrats… but a committee of professors, selected by their peers to determine who comes from what perspective, or at least an acceptable perspective.
Since the left has given up on the idea of teaching students how to think, rather than what to think… this would be a welcome reform.
Singapore is Right: “Singapore will recognize the state of Palestine when it has an effective government that accepts Israel’s right to exist. It must also categorically renounce terrorism.“
It should be that simple.

This Week: President Trump strikes a different tone on Ukraine war, independent voters on the rise, and GOP midterm convention is now official!
Marco Rubio: Charlie Kirk Inspired Movement to Defend America’s Ideals
Secretary of State Marco Rubio honored slain conservative leader Charlie Kirk on Sunday, remembering him as a bold and wise leader who built a movement to defend America’s values and will “matter now more than he ever has before.”
Speaking before tens of thousands gathered in Arizona to honor Kirk — including President Donald Trump, members of his Cabinet, and international media — Rubio recalled his early skepticism when first hearing Kirk’s vision of taking conservative ideas onto college campuses.
“I said, college campuses, you’re going to do that? Why don’t you start somewhere easier, like, for example, Communist Cuba?” Rubio recalled. “But my skepticism was proven wrong.”
Over the next decade, Rubio said, Kirk led a “renaissance” against narratives that painted America as “a source of evil, not of good in the world.”
Kirk’s Martyrdom Created a Political Earthquake and Now I Have Numbers to Prove It
The first full week since the most shocking political assassination in six decades reveals which party Americans now associate with political violence. Stop believing media lies and trust the data.
What I have to report today is nothing short of astounding now that we’ve reached the second full week since the death of Charlie Kirk. I have suspected what I’m writing today would come to pass since that terrible day, and still feel some degree of hesitation in jumping into analytics. On September 11, one day after the assassination, I was Sean Spicer’s guest on The Sean Spicer Show. I called Sean right before we recorded to make sure nothing we had to say was opportunistic or gave even remotely the impression that anyone was eager to reap political gain over such a gruesome act. Here is what I had to say:
Of course this is gonna manifest in the political climate, but people are awake. The moderate person who wishes to go along to get along with people who have murder on the mind (is) no longer “head buried in the sand.”
As my long-time readers know, I measure and analyze voter registration by party shifting, which is the most accurate indicator of the trajectory of the next presidential election and impacts all races, each subject to political dynamics, down-ballot and in between said elections (such as midterms). I recommend you read the most recent update for September, posted mere days before Charlie’s death:
America’s breaking point: Why 2026 could bury Democrats for a generation
Very few Democrats have the courage to confront the reality facing their party
We are at a crossroads. A grieving nation demands answers, yet Democrats stand defiantly with chaos. As the adage reminds us, actions have consequences. The 2026 elections and beyond will be a reckoning for the Democratic Party, already on the wrong side of America. On every major issue, from crime to immigration to cultural disconnect, Democrats’ embrace of far-left radicalism is alienating voters and paving the way for another crushing defeat. Public fear of crime continues to surge, yet Democrats deny and dismiss voters’ concerns, cementing their status as a permanent minority party, out of touch, indifferent and forgetful of whom they were elected to serve. Their downfall is evident.
Very few Democrats have the courage to confront reality, but Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) does. He sees that his party’s denial of America’s concerns is unsustainable and is sounding the alarm to change course. This month he warned that Democrats have “forgotten why we lost” in 2024, urging them to stop demonizing President Donald Trump with reckless comparisons to Hitler and to turn down the temperature by acknowledging the political landscape. Fetterman has frequently criticized Democrats for labeling Trump an autocrat, refusing to learn from electoral defeats and failing to connect with the American people. His message is clear: swing-state voters do not want defunded police, open borders, or culture crusades. They want common sense, safety, security and leaders who respect their values. Yet Democrats refuse to listen to Fetterman, or to the American majority, clinging instead to progressive extremism that prizes activism over governance.
The denial of the Democratic Party is on full display as Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY), a self-proclaimed moderate, chose extremism. Her recent endorsement of Zohran Mamdani for New York City mayor has sparked outrage. Mamdani, a radical socialist, built his entire platform on defunding the police, abolishing ICE and protecting sanctuary cities. He represents exactly what voters reject. Hochul tried to justify her endorsement as politically strategic, but there is nothing strategic about betraying American safety for political expediency. The days of moderation are gone. You are either with America, safety and security — or with radicalism. Hochul chose radicalism. And that choice tells voters everything they need to know about where the Democratic Party stands.
Bravo to President Trump for seeing the truth: Ukraine can win
President Donald Trump walked out of his Tuesday meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky with a hope-filled revelation: Ukrainians can take their country back. All of it.
After his sitdown with Ukraine’s president, Trump posted on Truth Social: “I think Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form” and “who knows, maybe even go further than that!”
This is a game-changing 180; as recently as mid-August, the prez’s position was that peace would require Kyiv to cede at least some territory to Moscow.
His reasons for now saying Ukraine can win: Russia looks like a “paper tiger,” crippled after “fighting aimlessly for three and a half years” in a war that should have taken “less than a week to win.”
Meanwhile, its economy now relies almost entirely on war manufacturing and oil exports — with the latter hit hard by Kyiv’s wildly effective strikes on refineries.
Cheers the president: “Putin and Russia are in BIG Economic trouble, and this is the time for Ukraine to act.”
Amen to that, sir: Now give Kyiv what it needs to do the job.
Trump Vows to Defend Poland, NATO Allies
President Donald Trump said Sunday the U.S. would defend Poland and the Baltic states if Russian aggression were to escalate, following a string of alleged airspace violations.
Asked by reporters on the White House lawn whether America would act if “Russia keeps accelerating,” Trump replied, “Yeah, I would. I would.”
He spoke shortly before departing for Arizona to attend the funeral of assassinated conservative leader Charlie Kirk.
Polish and allied aircraft were deployed early Saturday to ensure the safety of Polish airspace after Russia launched airstrikes targeting western Ukraine near the border with Poland, armed forces of the NATO member country said.
Eastern-flank NATO members are on high alert after Poland shot down suspected Russian drones in its airspace earlier this month, and three Russian military jets violated Estonia’s airspace for 12 minutes Friday.
“Yeah, we don’t like it,” Trump told reporters Sunday morning.
Return of the self-deluding Barack Obama
Here he goes again. The self-deluding Barack Obama hit a new low last week when he tried to absolve his presidency of any responsibility for the deep divisions in America that led to Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Instead, Obama blamed President Donald Trump.
“Those extreme views were not in my White House,” Obama claimed in remarks to the Jefferson Society. “I wasn’t empowering them. I wasn’t putting the weight of the United States government behind them. When we have the weight of the United States government behind extremist views, we’ve got a problem.”
Beginning with a 2010 Univision interview, in which he urged Hispanics to “punish our enemies” in the midterm elections, Obama started dividing Americans into friends and foes. Obama was the first modern president to rally voters against the opposing party by calling them “enemies.” That kind of divisive rhetoric hadn’t been used since the Civil War. In the Univision interview, Obama said publicly what he’d been saying privately for over a year. In the spring of 2009, the populist tea party movement sprang up in response to the Federal Reserve’s bailouts of Wall Street, while Main Street businesses went under and millions of Americans lost their homes.
Its supporters were largely the class of Americans Obama belittled at a San Francisco fundraiser as “bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment.” Primed by his own prejudices to see these fellow Americans as a political threat, Obama went on offense. His strategy was to use the media to smear tea party patriots as bigots. Obama directed White House aides to put the word out to legacy media that the movement was motivated not by the individual liberty, pro-market, and small government principles it proclaimed but by racism, pure and simple.
Suddenly, millions of Americans found themselves labeled as racist enemies of the Obama White House. Soon thereafter, the tea party was under scrutiny by the IRS. Lois Lerner, head of the tax agency’s Exempt Organizations Unit, oversaw the denial of tax-exempt status to tea party-affiliated groups and demands for lists of donors. In congressional testimony, Lerner pleaded the Fifth Amendment to avoid incriminating herself and was censured by Congress as a result.
Ted Cruz Plays the Long Game by Defending Jimmy Kimmel
By calling out Trump’s FCC for intimidation, the Texas senator broke with his party’s silence and made a rare stand for free speech.
Ted Cruz may hate me for the moment for saying this but: Good for Ted.
By likening the intimidation tactics of President Donald Trump’s FCC to the mafia in the case of The Government v. Jimmy Kimmel, Cruz imparted a valuable lesson his colleagues, and everyone in public life, should mind: This is still America, and you can speak up about your principles.
That I have to say this at all speaks to the trial we’ve only just begun. But let’s focus for now on this most instructive Ted talk.
The Texas Republican has been a reliable ally of Trump since the memorable unpleasantness of their 2016 primary. What Cruz said then — that Trump was no small-government conservative — proved prescient after last week, when FCC commissar (I mean commissioner!) Brendan Carr said that Kimmel’s corporate parent could “do this the easy way or the hard way.”
Well, Disney, the company in question, quickly got the message. Kimmel was “indefinitely” suspended from his talk show, as Disney put it.
Predictably, Kimmel’s Hollywood colleagues, union allies and other liberal civil libertarians rose to his defense and expressed outrage at both the naked use of state power against speech and industry’s abject capitulation.
Less predictably, Cruz went on his podcast, Verdict, and said Carr’s comments were something straight out of Goodfellas — “Nice bar you got here, it’d be a shame if something happened to it” — and invoked the commissioner by name before urging fellow Republicans to also speak out.
“I like Brendan Carr, but we should not be in this business,” said Cruz. “We should denounce it.”
Cruz went even further, though, echoing the same, far-sighted warning regularly issued about Trump’s abuses of power from another conservative corner, the Wall Street Journal editorial page.
“It might feel good right now to threaten Jimmy Kimmel, but when it is used to silence every conservative in America, we will regret it,” Cruz said, calling the precedent “dangerous as hell.” (The Journal rewarded Cruz’s stand for speech in a Monday editorial headlined “Ted Cruz’s Finest Hour”).
How To Take Down The Terrorist Left
The entire world watched as Charlie Kirk, the father of two young children, was gruesomely murdered.
But leftists cheered. A group of leftists in the crowd stood around unafraid as soon as Charlie was shot. One man can be seen raising his fists in the air and celebrating. A 71-year-old man, who was later found to have child sex abuse images on his phone, immediately claimed he was the shooter so the real shooter could get away. Across social media platforms and at workplaces, leftists rejoiced or said that Kirk deserved to be murdered. Leftist media outlets tried, without any evidence, to convince their audience that the shooter was either right-wing, or hinted that Charlie deserved to die because of his Christian and conservative views. After Kirk’s murder, even leftist intellectuals such as The New York Times’ Peter Baker and MSNBC’s Matthew Dowd appeared to justify the crime (Dowd has been fired).
The left’s lurch toward terrorism didn’t start with assassinating Kirk. About half or more of the “left of center” respondents to a national and respected poll released earlier this year by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) said that killing either President Donald Trump or Tesla CEO Elon Musk would be at least “partially justified.” This was about a third of the overall respondents; 13 percent of the respondents who are left-of-center said killing Trump would be “completely justified.”
The same NCRI survey found that pro-violence attitudes were amplified by left-wing social media platforms BlueSky and Reddit. Whole communities exist to praise the assassin of the UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, for example. Another poll, after Kirk’s murder, found that 26 percent of young voters and 24 percent of Democrats believed that America was “better off” with Charlie Kirk’s murder. Nothing close to these deranged numbers can be seen in the polling of those on the right.
Democrat politicians and the media have certainly encouraged this. Media members and Democrats labeled Trump and Republicans as “fascists,” strongly implying that bloodshed against their political opponents was a righteous cause.
Realize where we are: Something like 10 to 25 percent of the population is openly supporting the murder of their political opponents. The violence is absolutely meant to impact the political process. This most certainly has and will alter the decisions of state and federal representatives, judges, and reporters. Nationalists and conservatives won’t be able to hold open-air events any longer, without spending many millions on security.
Charlie Kirk’s Death Is Filling Churches Across The Country
In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, we are witnessing a renewed hunger for timeless truths, amplified by the moral listlessness of secular leftism.
Following the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk, I picked up my Bible, looking for answers. I haven’t put it down since. Countless other young people are doing the same. The Sept. 10 murder didn’t just claim the life of a prominent political and cultural force — it is serving as yet another catalyst for a broader spiritual awakening among America’s youth.
Viral footage of the Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder’s death at Utah Valley University shattered the digital apathy gripping young Americans, many of whom crave transcendent meaning beyond the anchorless amorality of modern leftist culture. In the aftermath of the shooting, vigils sprang up nationwide.
Thousands of young mourners gathered last weekend to pray, sing, and pledge to carry Kirk’s mantle. From the gathering in the Capitol, where members of Congress lit candles under marble gazes of Founding Fathers, to the service at a Plymouth, Massachusetts, church packed with Gen Z adherents, the outpouring was profound. In Beverly Hills, mourners rallied with crosses and American flags, while at Western Michigan University, Turning Point chapters held a candlelight vigil in the plaza while reciting Bible verses. At the University of North Alabama, students organized a prayer circle that stretched across campus quads, and even in Vermont, Ignite Church in Williston saw overflow crowds on its lawn.
These memorials provided moments of connection where grief sparked conversations about faith, purpose, and values.
The Stark Difference Between Today’s Conservatives and the Left
Yesterday’s memorial service in Glendale, Arizona for Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk brought into crystal clarity the defining difference between America’s political left and right.
Charlie saw violence and division in the world, and answered with communication — with friendly debate, the exchange of ideas. His murderer didn’t like Charlie’s message, and his answer was violence.
And answering anything disagreeable with violence was not just the response of one deranged assassin who took Charlie’s life — it’s the response of most people on the left.
Twitchy managing editor Sam Janney reminded us of it yesterday.
“Following the death of George Floyd, our country was a mess of unhinged maniacs rioting in cities, burning buildings, looting, destroying historic landmarks, and harassing innocent people in their homes,” she recalled, concluding that “we are not the same.”
During the 2020 “Summer of Love” riots following Floyd’s drug overdose death while in police custody, rioters racked up a record-breaking $2 billion in property damage. They looted and burned down businesses, many of them minority-owned.
In addition, dozens of innocent people were killed and injured, including one elderly man who was merely trying to protect his store — his livelihood. Rioters left his face bloodied and his jaw broken.
Compare that to a video that Newsmax contributor Nick Sortor posted on X, together with this commentary:
“HOLY CRAP! There are still 14 HOURS until Charlie Kirk’s memorial in Arizona starts, and HUNDREDS of patriots are ALREADY lined up,” he said.
“Many of them from THOUSANDS of miles away. They’re talking about Charlie, praying for his family, and are excited to fight for our country.”
God-Given Rights vs. Government Power: Why Tim Kaine’s Comparison to Iran Is Both Stupid and Dangerous
Senator Tim Kaine recently suggested that America’s founding belief in God-given rights is “extremely troubling” because it resembles the ideology of Iran’s totalitarian theocratic regime. That statement is not just historically wrong — it’s dangerously misleading. It confuses the very principle that makes America free with the very system that crushes freedom abroad.
What the Declaration Says
The Declaration of Independence proclaims that our rights are “endowed by our Creator,” meaning they exist before and beyond government. This idea was revolutionary in 1776. Kings and parliaments claimed to grant rights at their discretion; Jefferson and Madison — Virginians like Kaine — declared that rights come from God and therefore cannot be revoked by rulers. That’s the foundation of American liberty.
Contrast this with Iran. Its constitution enshrines velayat-e faqih, the doctrine that a cleric holds divine authority to rule until the hidden Imam returns. In practice, it means unelected religious leaders claim God’s mandate to dominate their people. Instead of protecting individual freedom, Iran’s regime enforces repression — censorship, imprisonment, torture, even executions for dissent or alleged moral failings. That’s the opposite of liberty.
To equate these two systems is to confuse a shield against tyranny with a sword for it.
The Democratic Party’s free speech hypocrisy
Jimmy Kimmel, a failing late-night comedian, was suspended for lying about the beliefs of a political assassin, and suddenly, the Democratic Party shrieks that the First Amendment is being destroyed. The spectacle would be laughable except that when Democrats are in power, they have shown that they will use the levers of government power to silence opponents.
The truth in this case, however, starts with the fact that the Federal Communications Commission has taken no action against Kimmel or his employer, and both remain free to keep saying all the nasty things about President Donald Trump they’ve been saying nightly for years already.
“There is no such thing as free speech under Donald Trump’s reign,” Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) posted on social media after ABC announced it had suspended Kimmel indefinitely for saying that Charlie Kirk’s murderer was “one of them,” by which he meant a Trump supporter, a group he has previously referred to as “MAGA mouth breathers.” Apparently, it was lost on Newsom that the continued existence of his very post criticizing Trump demonstrated his argument was completely false.
The most gallingly hypocritical commentary came from former President Barack Obama, who inserted himself into the issue by complaining on social media that “after years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.”
This is rich coming from a former president who routinely used government power to silence his opponents when he was in office. Obama famously directed the IRS to remove the tax-exempt status of nonprofit organizations he disagreed with. He used the Justice Department and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to target businesses he disapproved of, such as firearms retailers. He used the Espionage Act to spy on Fox News reporter James Rosen and the Associated Press. He used the Department of Education to silence opposition to the Democratic Party’s gender agenda. And he prosecuted an immigrant for making a YouTube video that Obama falsely blamed for inciting deadly attacks against Americans on the anniversary of 9/11.
The former president has never expressed an ounce of shame or regret for using government power to stifle his opponents’ speech rights. And former President Joe Biden was no different.
The $15 Trillion Emergency Spending Loophole
Over the past three and a half decades, Congress has increasingly used emergency spending designations as a workaround to sidestep budget rules, avoid trade-offs, and pass massive spending bills with minimal congressional and public scrutiny.
Congress has designated $12.5 trillion in spending for emergencies over the past 35 years, resulting in $2.5 trillion in additional interest costs. Poorly designed emergency spending rules allow Congress to evade spending limits and routinely designate non-emergency line items as emergencies, increasing wasteful and excessive spending. High deficits, an escalating federal debt, and the insolvency of major entitlement programs mean that Congress is facing several budgetary challenges that will only grow in importance. Congress cannot afford further abuse of emergency spending. It is time for Congress to rein in the emergency spending loophole.
This paper presents comprehensive estimates of emergency spending and resulting interest costs, with data going back to 1991. According to my estimates, Congress designated 9 percent of federal budget authority as emergency spending during that time. Emergency spending is roughly equal to the amount that Congress has spent on Medicaid and veterans’ programs combined.
Roughly half of the emergency spending since 1991 has been discretionary spending (federal programs that receive funding through annual appropriations), mostly in response to the Great Recession and COVID-19 pandemic, and for disaster relief and military operations. Mandatory spending, also called direct spending, accounts for the other half. Five Great Recession and pandemic-related laws alone account for 87 percent of mandatory emergency spending. The budgetary share of emergency spending has grown to 11 percent of total budget authority over the past decade.
In this analysis, I provide several specific reforms that would reduce emergency spending, decrease abuse, and enhance oversight.
FBI Bombshell: 274 agents sent to Capitol for J6, many later complained they were political ‘pawns’
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.
The most persistent complaint was that the bureau during the James Comey and Chris Wray era had become infected with political biases and liberal ideology that treated the protesters from the summer 2020 Black Lives Matter riots far differently than those arrested in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 episode.
After Harming The Country With Russiagate, Comey’s Indictment Is Well Deserved
Could former FBI Director James Comey be the first major figure to face real accountability for his role in the destructive Russia collusion hoax?
It’s a question worth asking given Thursday evening’s news that the cocky former intel chief has been indicted by a grand jury on counts of making false statements to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding. The charges were brought by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia.
What’s particularly noteworthy about the indictment, however, is its relation to the Russia collusion hoax.
As The Federalist’s Brianna Lyman summarized, “The charges arise from testimony Comey gave in 2020 when Sen. Ted Cruz questioned him about testimony he previously provided in 2017, in which he stated ‘he did not authorize leaking information regarding the FBI’s investigations into President Donald Trump or former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton,’ as described by NBC News. Comey told Cruz he stood by the testimony.”
“Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe said Comey was made aware of the leak of information to the press and essentially gave it the stamp of approval after the fact, a 2018 Justice Department inspector general’s report found,” Lyman added.
Comey’s role in helping form and advance the Russia collusion hoax cannot be overstated.
Final Thoughts
