Former AG Bill Barr said Mexican drug cartels should be wiped off the Earth like ISIS because they're far too rich and powerful to prosecute. Barr, 72, sat down with Newsmax's Greta Van Susteren to discuss to Mexican drug cartels. He likened them to terrorist groups, and said they should be treated as such, particularly as they've been blamed for inundating the US with deadly fentanyl. 'I think [the Mexicans] have to be forced and pushed into action with us,' he said. 'I think we have to more active against the cartels. I

The cartels are doing pretty well off of the current administration. They probably donated to Biden's campaign.

Unfortunately nobody is going to wipe out the Mexican cartels as too many politicians and others on both sides of the border are being paid off directly and indirectly to continue to allow the cartels to operate their billion dollar illicit drug trade throughout the USA and other countries. Throughout the USA, cartel drugs are moved from one Mexican illegal alien community to other Mexican illegal alien communities in and around so-called sanctuary cities that are essentially cartel bases inside the USA. By now anyone who has been paying attention knows that Biden and the Democrats are dead set against messing with illegal aliens (and cartel operatives) in sanctuary cities, so it is clear to see what is going on.

I believe Barr had his chance to do something about these horrific crimes and others under the Trump administration. I can’t think of a single significant prosecution that Barr oversaw as AG. Furthermore, his insistence that the 2020 election was fair and that there was no significant election fraud played a huge part in what is happening today. We could have prevented the drug and human trafficking that Biden has caused if he would have bothered to really look into all the evidence of election fraud. He dismissed it out of hand. Look what his negligence has done? How many lives have been lost and destroyed by Biden’s open border? To now come out and make these strong statements on drug and human trafficking is laughable. Elitist cowards like Bill Barr have a lot to answer for. But for a stolen election that he refused to investigate, many lives would be saved and our country would not be on this path to destruction. Barr and his fellow Trump haters bear a lot of responsibility for what is happening to the country now. Thanks for nothing, Ralphie. We will not forget your betrayal.

There are few RINOs who have been hit harder with Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) than Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), save perhaps Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY). Cheney, as we've been covering for some time now, given her standing in the polls, is likely to lose her seat to Trump-backed primary challenger, Harriet Hageman. Kinzinger is retiring, after Illinois state Democrats pretty much redistricted his seat out of existence. While speaking to CNN's Jim Sciutto on Friday, following yet another public hearing from the January 6 Select Committee from the night before, Rep. Kinzinger claimed that nobody would admit to voting for or supporting former President Donald Trump in 10 years,

Almost three months later, though, the leaker has seemingly escaped detection and punishment. Are they even still investigating the leak?

It is still unclear what exactly Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) Jan. 6 committee is trying to accomplish, but a bipartisan group of 16 senators proved this week the body’s work is not necessary to reach real, productive, commonsense electoral reform. Negotiated by Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Joe Manchin (D-WV), the Electoral Count Reform and Presidential Transition Improvement Act is perhaps most praiseworthy for what is not in it. Specifically, all of the highly partisan and harmful provisions of the Democrats' preferred electoral legislation — The For the People Act, which would have banned voter identification requirements, among other things — have been removed from this bill.

The leak rocked the federal judiciary, the American political scene, and led to an ugly campaign to intimidate Supreme Court justices, inspiring one assassination plot that thankfully went nowhere. Chief Justice John Roberts promised an investigation to identify the leaker, and the pool of suspects seemed relatively small — the justices themselves and their clerks. Almost three months later, though, the leaker has seemingly escaped detection and punishment. Are they even still investigating the leak? The Associated Press can’t even get an answer to that question from the court:

Experts said recently it was a possible crime that could result in him being sent to prison. The report noted Biden was registered as a lobbyist for domestic interests but not under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). In addition, Biden could reportedly face charges regarding tax violations and lying about illegally buying a firearm. Breitbart News reported Wednesday: The probe, which has been ongoing for years and debated for months among Justice Department officials, also centers on the Biden family’s foreign business schemes while Joe Biden was vice president.

The race is on! The Great Resetters who want an America of servile citizens willing to eat bugs, obey commands, accept fuel rationing, and own nothing have put the pedal to the metal in their nefarious plans to usher in worldwide communism for the masses and perpetual wealth, power, and privilege for the Schwab-Obama-Soros axis of evil (SOS, America, we're in distress!). What had been a slow and long march through the institutions these last hundred years has taken on such urgency today that the communists have scurried out of their usual hiding places in the shadows to prance around before us in broad daylight!

Asked if he could go back to March of 2020 and start over with the pandemic response, Dr. Fauci admitted that mistakes were made in his and the CDC's response to COVID's initial spread but refused blame for collateral damage caused by public health officials. What he did admit? That masking and social distancing restrictions should have been "much, much more stringent" than they were. "If I knew in 2020 what I know now, we would do a lot differently," he said during an interview on HillTV's Rising.

Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin suggested that abortion bans in some states could actually violate religious beliefs in a column on Sunday. Rubin introduced the subject by referencing a lawsuit brought up by the Jewish Congregation L’Dor Va-Dor against the 15-week abortion ban in Florida. The congregation argued that Jewish law "does not consider life to begin at conception or at 15 weeks" and refusing an abortion could violate their beliefs. Though Rubin questioned whether this would sufficiently infringe on "First Amendment rights and the state constitution’s free-exercise clause," she still considered the issue "important." "In any event, this is an issue the forced-birth crowd should care about."
