to Understand Why Congress Never Challenges
the Intelligence Community

Original Article

There is a rather remarkable indictment against congressman Henry Cuellar (D-Texas, CD-28) that everyone should read. You might remember that Cuellar was openly critical of the Biden border crisis in the latter half of 2021. Approximately a few weeks after Cuellar was openly and strongly criticizing Biden, FBI agents raided his home At the time of the FBI raid (January 2022), everyone noted the visible connection between Cuellar’s criticism of Biden and the launch of the DOJ investigation against him. The timing was just too convenient. Last Friday an indictment was unsealed.

This is how the deep state controls the elected representatives. The indictment doesn't even have to be true. Just... not unexpected. People expect bad things from politicians. Even if you have a Saint, he or she better play the game, or else. He didn't follow the playbook. So he's going to get spanked! If he*s defiant, the might find kiddieporn on a phone or computer, our he might even murder/suicide, if they are really disappointed, and his whole family is toast. They CAN make it happen. The old Soviet style, "make 'em disappear" is so trite. Leave the bodies on display, and drop a few words of warning...

The major reason the intel community hated (hates) Trump is he wasn’t corrupt and controlled.

FTA —- “You might remember that Cuellar was openly critical of the Biden border crisis in the latter half of 2021.” Cuellar specializes in platitudes. He has a media driven reputation as a moderate. But he toes the democrat party line on every important vote. I don’t give a flip about Henry Cuellar.

Congressional oversight is a joke. The only real question ever asked of the multiple arms of the intelligence community is "how much money can we give you this year?" As we have seen from the actions of people like Comey, Wray, Brennan and Clapper, the heads of the beasts are clearly rotten.

#10, execution should be on the table for any bureaucrat that steps over the constitutions clear bright lines, no matter the infraction. People need to wake up to the fact that you don't give a 16 y.o. a bottle of whiskey and the keys to a corvette, anymore than you would give bureaucrats authority to mess with citizen's lives without said bureaucrat wearing an explosive collar as a control on them.

Iran's Mullahs Desperate for Nuclear Weapons,
Do Not Believe Anything Else
10 replies
Posted by 4250Luis 5/11/2024 1:50:37 PM Post Reply
Ayatollah Khamenei's initial issuance of a fatwa against nuclear weapons coincided with damning revelations in 2002: Iran was exposed clandestinely engaging in nuclear activities, including uranium enrichment, at covert facilities in Natanz and Arak. These activities flamboyantly violated the principles outlined in the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), to which Iran was a signatory. The timing of Khamenei's fatwa should only raise questions about its authenticity and underlying motive: it likely an attempt to mitigate international backlash and deflect scrutiny away from Iran's covert nuclear endeavors. Iran's constitution explicitly mandates that both the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps are not only tasked with safeguarding the nation's frontiers,

The steadily rising price of a dozen eggs at your favorite supermarket is just about all you need to know. There are big problems in the domestic poultry industry. When the price recently jumped to $5 a dozen, it signaled another outbreak of the bird flu. The bird-flu (highly pathogenic form of avian influenza) outbreaks are wreaking havoc on laying flocks of leghorns (white eggs) and Rhode Island reds (brown eggs) after being exposed to the virus introduced by wild birds (migratory ducks and geese passing it on to resident birds and then to the hen houses).

The Latest Stormy Daniels Development

You don’t need to follow the Stormy Daniels trial because you already know it’s a trainwreck. The jury selection process was a disaster, and this case is why we shouldn’t have political trials. No one can be impartial. It shouldn’t shock anyone if Trump is convicted since the pool seems to be comprised of left-leaning, Trump-hating consumers of liberal media. It’s the weakest case against the former president, but with the lawfare front waning for liberals, they will give it everything they have. You’d think Trump kidnapped the Lindbergh baby regarding the hyperbolic coverage. We knew this trial was going to be a circus.

Maher Bitar, the White House Coordinator for Intelligence and Defense Policy at the U.S. National Security Council (NSC), was a radical pro-Palestinian activist and a leader within Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP). The SJP is one of the most prominent groups involved in the pro-Hamas, antisemitic “encampment” protests that have taken over dozens of university campuses. Its parent group is also the target of a lawsuit by survivors and families of victims of the October 7 terror attack that alleges SJP is a propaganda front for Hamas in the U.S.
Americans Are Rejecting Climate Alarmism 14 replies

A new Monmouth University poll doesn’t portend well for climate alarmists: The climate crisis narrative, unsurprisingly, isn’t selling well - or at all - with the American people. Monmouth explained, “Less than half (46 percent) of the American public sees climate change as a very serious problem.” This is down for every voting demographic group–Republicans, independents, and even Democrats. And the survey found that support for government action to fight climate change - like the Inflation Reduction Act and Biden administration net-zero directives - also has fallen.

It must have felt so good when Mike Johnson began his daily routine Thursday refreshing the home page of The New York Times and seeing his face at the very top accompanied by an article heralding him as “Speaker of the whole House” following Democrats’ rescue of his job. If this isn’t what he lives for, I’m not sure what is. It’s certainly not to do anything remotely in the interest of Republican voters. Since he was elected speaker six months ago, Johnson’s victories are limited to voting to fully fund Joe Biden’s back-breaking agenda, heaping 60 billion more taxpayer dollars into a corrupt slush fund (sometimes called “Ukraine”)

A teenage anti-Israel protester who vandalized a World War I memorial in Central Park earlier this week has been arrested, according to the NYPD and police sources. The 16-year-old boy was charged with criminal mischief in the third degree, a felony, and making graffiti, which is a misdemeanor, for allegedly defacing the 107th Infantry Memorial during an unruly demonstration on Monday night. The youngster has been a regular face at rallies organized by the anti-Israel group Within Our Lifetime, according to sources.

These assaults are not only aimed at Israel and its inhabitants but, ultimately, at the West. Adversaries of the West -- whether religious fundamentalists or authoritarian states such as China, Russia, and Iran and its allies -- appear intent upon imposing a new totalitarian world order. To do so, they seek destruction of the two main countries standing in their way: United States of America and Israel, the global champions of democracy, freedom, Western values, and human rights. Regrettably, with freedom often comes the need to protect it, at times by force, from those who would take it away.

Two-term U.S. Rep.

She defeated eight rival Republicans to secure her place on the ballot this fall in a solidly Republican district. The first and only Ukrainian-born House member, Spartz previously backed support for the country. But ahead of her primary contest, she reversed her position and voted against sending $61 billion in aid to Ukraine.

President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign dropped a nasty Mother’s Day video attacking former President Donald Trump. The video focused on insulting Trump’s past policies regarding women such as abortion and separating illegal immigrant families. The attacks begin when the screen flashes “Happy Mother's Day" written on the bottom. But then the screen goes blank with the words, "But not from Donald Trump” across it. The campaign urged Americans to “stop Trump,” by doing the moms in their lives a favor. “On Mother’s Day, a reminder: Donald Trump stands only for himself and not mothers across America and their families,” the video says.
