Clueless ATF Director

Original Article

The director of the Bureau for Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms was grilled on Wednesday by Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz over two watchdog reports alleging the agency has failed to implement recommendations in the wake of a theft of firearms and unlawful record keeping. ATF Director Steven Dettelbach sat before the House Judiciary Committee as Republicans questioned the president’s top firearms official on missteps they claim hamper the agency and interfere with the rights of gun owners. Rep. Gaetz reserved his time to ask Dettelbach why independent reports from the Government Accountability Office and the U.S. Inspector General went unheeded, and things got pretty heated.

BOOM!! That ATF director apparently brought a spork to a gun fight!!

The ATF has been a rogue agency for decades! They should be defunded and what little they do can be transferred to local Police departments! This ATF director is truly dumber than a doorknob!

Words matter. This bureaucrat is neither "clueless" or dumb. He is a conniving , persistent and experienced liar. We can't win a war against the enemy we won't name correctly.

Gaetz was very well prepared and had the guy dead to rights. It was beautiful. Every time the government decides to micromanage any regulating body this stuff happens. They never trust regular people in the industries they meddle with to do what is required. As the Gun Dealer said in his letter, it was in his best interest to follow the law. He had been doing what was required for 46 years. One glitch by the government computer is wrong, as a result they shut him down. The dealer lost everything and guys like this idiot do not care. They will never try to make it right with him, They do not care. I will guarantee that those who handled whatever paperwork that was required have no clue what they are doing. Minimum wage hires with poor with no commonsense and poor vocabularies. They don't care because they will not face real consequences, the citizen will. It wasn't about guns but I had a similar Twilight Zone experience with another agency. They will ruin you and then head to the next cocktail party.

FTA "The ATF has previously admitted to tracking firearms sales but maintains that their database is not searchable by the public." "...the public."? The 2nd Amendnent limits the government and has nothing to do with "the public"! The FBI does the background check on purchases of firearms. Why is that information shared with the BATF?

Democrats want to do all they can to make abortion an issue that they think helps them in the upcoming election by fearmongering about the positions of Republicans, but what they don’t want to do is be honest about the facts or their radical positions when it comes to being for abortion up to the moment of birth. They know that most Americans are not supportive of abortion to the moment of birth and that’s why they don’t want to be straight when they are confronted on that question because they are indeed the radicals on this issue.

Dylan Mulvaney has already cost Bud Light what is assumed to be millions of dollars (17 percent drop in sales), but he’s not done causing chaos yet. The transgender “influencer” entered into the broader public eye after Joe Biden invited him to the White House back in 2022. Think about that. A president who hasn’t done a challenging interview since he took office found time to receive softballs from a grown man who pretends to be a prepubescent girl. But I digress. Mulvaney has been propped up by corporate America despite only claiming to be a “girl” for a little over a year.

The murder rates in major US Cities have soared more than 10% in the past two years — with most homicides occurring in Democratic areas with soft-on-crime policies. In a study released by WalletHub Wednesday, researchers found that Memphis, Tennesse; New Orleans, Louisana; Richmond, Virginia; Washington, DC; and Detroit, Michigan are suffering from the biggest homicide rate problems. All five cities are led by left-wing mayors. After comparing the rise in murder rates in 45 of the country’s most populated cities between 2021 and 2023, scholars noticed that killings were rising faster in Democrat-led cities than in their Republican counterparts.

A radical California DA is under fire for going easy on three gangbangers charged with shooting a 5-year-old girl through the heart and killing her earlier this month. Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price declined to add gun and gang enhancements to murder raps against the suspects — a “staggering” move which could significantly lessen their sentences. “Not filing gun and gang enhancements in a case like this is an extreme departure from California criminal law practice,” veteran Los Angeles County prosecutor Jason Lustig told The Post. “It’s extreme.” The Berkeley Scanner first reported the lack of enhancements alongside basic murder charges and called it a “break in precedent”

Joe Biden has a well-documented history of inappropriate behavior with young women — and even little girls. But one of the most serious accusations came from Tara Reade in 2019, when she revealed publicly that Joe Biden touched her inappropriately while she worked as a staffer in his Senate office in 1993. According to Reade, Biden would place his hand on her shoulder and run his finger up her neck, causing her to freeze until he stopped. Later on, in March 2020, Reade expanded on her accusations, claiming that Biden sexually assaulted her by pinning her against a wall, kissing her, and touching her under her shirt and skirt.

The first thing on most people’s minds after Joe Biden officially announced his intent to run for president again was, “Seriously? He’s 80 years old and clearly experiencing cognitive decline. What’s he thinking?” Naturally, the obvious concerns about his advanced age and diminished mental acuity has led to speculation that Biden’s seeking reelection in order to hand off the presidency to Kamala Harris, who would otherwise be unelectable. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was given the opportunity to dispute this theory during Tuesday’s White House press briefing… and didn’t. “Does the president plan to serve all eight years?” a reporter asked.

New Yorkers are speaking out on President Joe Biden’s 2024 campaign slogan “Finish The Job,” questioning what job he has even started. During a recent segment from Newsmax, random individuals shared their skepticism about Biden’s ability to lead the country while poking fun at the president’s slogan. “You gotta start a job before you finish it,” said one New Yorker interviewed. “I don’t really know what job he started. I don’t think he knows what he’s saying half the time.” Another went as far as suggesting a new campaign slogan for Biden: “I quit.”

Gropey Joe Biden seems to be waging a war on children, and half the nation seems to be ok with that. FACT-O-RAMA! Many liberals will agree with any/every decree from their commie masters so they can virtue-signal their morality cowardice to the world, even when they are told it’s ok to mutilate an eight-year-old child who is hungry for social acceptance and “likes” on TikTok. President Biden seems to have many ways to harm kids — or at least keep them from procreating. Let’s look at two of them.

The famed Hollywood studio Warner Bros. is celebrating its hundredth anniversary this year, and it certainly has a rich history to showcase. The studio could have coasted through its anniversary year by rolling out some of its classic films, which range from the very beginnings of cinema to today, to new audiences. But some daring young innovative thinker at Warner Bros. decided to do something at once more audacious, more risky, and much more certain to produce ghastly results: Warner is going to mark its hundredth birthday with “a short film series that reimagines the Studio’s iconic films through a diverse and inclusive lens.” Hey, it could be worse.

Joe Biden's ex-chief of staff has blamed Kamala Harris's poor approval ratings on 'racism and sexism'. Ron Klain, who stepped down as the president's top aide in January, said her critics were guilty of prejudice towards the 58-year-old former senator from California. The long-time Democratic political consultant said in an interview on Thursday that Harris 'takes a lot of grief unjustifiably.' 'I do think sexism and racism are part of the problem, no question about it,' Klain said.

Democrats have mostly given up on denying that Joe Biden is suffering from an advanced stage of dementia. Their strategy, as exemplified by their mouthpiece the New York Times, has shifted to a defense of senility. Do we need a mentally competent president? Nah. This morning’s Times email, which is curated by David Leonhardt, the Times’s “senior writer” who writes for “The Times’s flagship daily newsletter,” said this morning: "Strange as it may sound, the American government can function without a healthy president."

Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) and state lawmakers reached an agreement to phase out natural gas hookups in new buildings beginning in 2025, a first-of-its-kind state law designed to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and transition to cleaner sources of energy. Hochul said Thursday she reached a handshake deal with lawmakers on the agreement, which was included in New York’s fiscal 2024 budget. Though the budget stops short of an explicit ban on natural gas appliances, it will ban natural gas hookups in most new residential and commercial buildings under seven stories beginning in 2026. By 2029, that will extend to larger industrial and commercial properties as well.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- Iran's navy seized a Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman on Thursday heading to the U.S. amid wider tensions over Tehran's nuclear program, the latest-such capture in a waterway crucial for global energy supplies. The U.S. Navy's Mideast-based 5th Fleet identified the vessel as the Advantage Sweet. Satellite tracking data for the vessel from MarineTraffic.com showed it in the Gulf of Oman, just north of Oman's capital, Muscat, on Thursday afternoon. It had just come from Kuwait and listed its destination as Houston. The Advantage Sweet issued a distress call at 1:15 p.m. while in international waters as Iran seized

A troubling societal issue called "transableism" is attracting attention these days. Transableism is a newer term for BIID, or "Body Integrity Identity Disorder," in which a person actually "identifies" as handicapped. BIID has been relabeled to transableism to align with today's trans community, according to some. The point of "changing the identifier" from a psychiatric condition (BIID) to an advocacy term (transableism) is to "harness the stunning cultural power of gender ideology" to the cause of allowing doctors to "treat" BIID patients by "amputating healthy limbs, snipping spinal cords or destroying eyesight," according to Evolution News and Science Today
