A Weaponized FBI: It’s Real, Whistleblowers
Testify, Boasting Scars to Prove It

Democrats have cast the Trump administration’s ouster of eight senior FBI leaders as a “purge” and act of “retribution” from a weaponized Justice Department, some likening it to President Nixon’s “Saturday Night Massacre.” But former colleagues of the terminated “G-men” say this narrative is backward. FBI officials, past and present, have marshaled significant evidence via whistleblower complaints and testimony indicating that several terminated leaders routinely used their offices for partisan purposes. These include allegations that at least two of the fired officials, Jeffrey Veltri and Dena Perkins, manipulated the security clearance review process to personally and professionally punish conservatives, COVID-19 vaccine skeptics, and Jan. 6 whistleblowers who reported suspected bureau malfeasance,

During the last twenty years, the FBI has been infiltrated and totally compromised. It can't be saved. Disband it. Fire every SAC and start over. Or don't. Do we really need them?

Yes, a freind, retired from the FBI a few years ago says that the folks who were pulled in to DC were the 'yes men' and not the good agents. He has nothing good to say about Comey or Wray, either.

It is important that this information come out and the wrongs done to employees and our own citizens be addressed.The Russia Hoax was created and paid for largely by Democrats. It would be interesting to see if US AID funds found their way to promoting those smears. The laughable Steele "dossier" came from a foreign spy who was on the FBI payroll and said he didn't know what or if anything was true. The intelligence community folks who signed the laptop letter in an effort to dismiss Hunter's laptop contents as "fake news" claimed the story had all the "earmarks" of Russian disinformation. As we now know, the laptop story was true. Now we're getting almost daily reports of huge sums of money not being used for the intended purpose in multiple agencies. Money has been taken and repurposed, often in ways most harmful to our national interest. The illusion that our government is accountable to the people stops working when agency heads become so powerful employees are kept in line by fear of reprisals. How in the world did the US Army leadership permit money to be deducted from paychecks "for food" but not be used to feed our guys? The lowest paid members were hurt for no good reason, and whomever allowed that to happen has a lot of explaining to do. Dems had better get on board.

Under the third term of Obama, everything became weaponized. The FBI, the DOJ, the IRS, you name it, it was weaponized. JaBiden must take credit for everything Obama did. JaBiden didn't have the cajones to tell Barack to take a hike. JaBiden the shite you did to America is on you.

When I was looking for work about 20 years ago I looked into the FBI. I am not an investigator but I do have skills they need. I spoke to several refugees from there, and the stories they told about backstabbing, dirty politics and such would drive anyone away. These stories are not just at the top. They permeate the culture all the way down to the guy who washes the windows. It is a cut throat place and the only way to survive it is to stay invisible or avoid it completely.

Heartbreak: DOGE Stops Funding of Circumcisions
in Mozambique, Saves Taxpayers $10 Million

Posted by mc squared 2/18/2025 4:06:46 PM Post Reply
Not to be insensitive, but oh, the humanity! Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) recently announced that it has put the kibosh on close to a billion U.S. tax dollars from funding outlandish overseas programs, including $10 million to “voluntary medical male circumcisions” in Mozambique. U.S. taxpayers paying for circumcisions in Mozambique. Who knew? In a Saturday post to X (formerly Twitter) DOGE announced a total of $729 million in savings, listing multiple ridiculous initiatives being funded by U.S. taxpayers with zero knowledge of where the money was going (emphasis, mine).

Roiling controversy has surrounded President Donald Trump’s announcement of sweeping changes at the US Agency for International Development, or USAID. The agency does supply humanitarian aid, yet it seems a portion of its budget goes to dubious propaganda campaigns worldwide. Little attention has been paid to the agency’s involvement with the CIA, particularly in creating the infamous 1974 Kissinger Report, which advocated for population control to further US “national security interests” in developing countries.

Those of us of a certain age remember the Yugo. It was a typically Eastern European automobile of the '80s and '90s, small, cheap, and bearing a questionable reputation for safety and reliability. They were sold here in the United States from 1985 to 1992, with a total of a bit over 140,000 sold. Few seem to survive today, but then, the American auto companies in these years were still recovering from the late '70s to early '80s quality slump themselves. In the States the Yugo picked up a pretty bad reputation;

Half of New York City’s deputy mayors dramatically resigned Monday in the wake of Eric Adams’ controversial reprieve from his historic corruption case by President Trump’s Justice Department. The resignations of Adams’ four senior aides — led by First Deputy Mayor Maria Torres-Springer — thrusts City Hall even deeper into uncharted territory as the mayor faces mounting questions about whether he can govern the city. The four deputy mayors — Torres-Springer, Deputy Mayor for Operations Meera Joshi, Deputy Mayor for Health Human Services Anne Williams-Isom and Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Chauncey Parker — resigned as a rally in support of Adams unfolded in Rehoboth Cathedral in Brooklyn.

You know how the Democrats have been whining about the youthfulness of the Department of Government Efficiency staffers, claiming that Elon Musk’s DOGE team couldn’t possibly understand what they’re doing because some are in their early twenties and at least one is in his late teens?

A Times Square drug kingpin nabbed in an “around-the-clock” crack-peddling operation is back on the streets of the Big Apple — thanks to former President Joe Biden, The Post has learned. Johnny Perez, a 32-year-old convict nicknamed “Ghost,” was one of nearly 2,500 convicted federal criminals who had their sentences commuted by Biden on Jan. 17 before he left office — including at least three other dealers busted with him in 2021, records show. Federal prison records show that Perez, who was one of eight suspected drug dealers rounded up in a raid by the NYPD and federal agents, is listed as due for release in May

It’s no secret the rollout of a federal program to expand electric vehicle fast charger access has been, well, rocky. It just got rockier. More than $104 million was allocated for new fast EV chargers in New Jersey via the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure, or NEVI, program. To date, the program has resulted in zero chargers for New Jersey. And at the start of February, in one of several executive moves, President Donald Trump announced he was freezing the NEVI program funds. New guidance has to be issued and states have to be approved in order for new program funds to be disbursed.

Xiao Guang Pan — whose Instagram page describes him as photographer and licensed drone pilot — was charged earlier this week with three counts of using an unmanned aircraft to photograph the Brevard-based defense installations without authorization from federal officials. Taking unauthorized photos of defense installations is prohibited by federal law.

Kennedy scion Jack Schlossberg unleashed a foul-mouthed rant against Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) late Tuesday after his grandfather’s namesake JFK Presidential Library and Museum temporarily closed due to layoffs of taxpayer-funded staff. The 32-year-old grandson of President John F, Kennedy told the cost-cutting DOGE initiative to “eat s–t” after the Boston-based library shut its doors Tuesday afternoon because of staffing cuts. The library blamed the closure on President Trump’s recent executive order overhauling the federal workforce. “Hey, it’s Jack,” Schlossberg said in the clip posted online — just two weeks after he dramatically claimed he was quitting social media. “I’m OK, but our country is not.

President Trump signed an executive order Wednesday night barring illegal immigrants from receiving federally-funded benefits. “My Administration will uphold the rule of law, defend against the waste of hard-earned taxpayer resources, and protect benefits for American citizens in need, including individuals with disabilities and veterans,” read the text of Trump’s order. The president noted that the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA) ostensibly prohibits illegal immigrants from obtaining most taxpayer-funded benefits, but he argued that in the decades since its passage “numerous administrations have acted to undermine the principles and limitations directed by the Congress.”
