Original Article

FBI Director Kash Patel on Friday announced plans to move the bureau out of its headquarters in Washington, D.C. As part of the plan to vacate its headquarters in the J. Edgar Hoover Building, the bureau will transfer 1,500 employees to varying locations nationwide. The building, which is located on Pennsylvania Avenue NW, has served as the FBI’s headquarters since 1975. “This FBI is leaving the Hoover building because this building is unsafe for our workforce,” Patel said during an appearance on Fox News. “We want the American men and women to know if you’re going to come work at the premier law enforcement agency in the world,

May 16, 2025 “Look, the FBI is 38,000 when we are fully manned, which we are not. In the national capital region, in the 50-mile radius around Washington, DC, there were 11,000 FBI employees. That’s like a third of the workforce. A third of the crime doesn’t happen here,” Patel told Bartiromo." https://nypost.com/2025/05/16/us-news/kash-patel-announces-fbi-ditching-dc-headquarters-transferring-1500-agents/ The Deep State Deep Swamp

The FBI is more then just Special Agents there are a ton of para-legals and secretaries and a labor force. Many are now working in buildings being used by the FBI that are not the Hoover Bldg. I cannot see the benefit of splitting up that labor force all around the country. Send out the Agents and make room in the Hoover bldg. for people that are now working at other places in DC. The expenses of these people moving to places they don't want to go is going to cost the FBI a lot of good employees. Of course they can hire others in the new location, but then they have to be trained. I don't see any benefit in this.

No doubt the Democrats and RINOS want to retain control of the high mucky-mucks ensconced on 7th floor at FBI Headquarters. The way it looks they may have to wait over 3 1/2 years for that to happen again. So don’t be surprised if the Democrats and their RINOS buddies don’t swing into action through their “law fare” political game with some activist Democrat Federal Judge claiming that FBI Headquarters must stay in DC.

Kash is already spending his time on getting a new office and building. A building built in 1975 is NOT crumbling. The GSA has a huge inventory of unoccupied buildings in DC, as most federal workers are working from home. Use one of those. A new building for the FBI looks like all we are going to get from the new Director, as there has been little else accomplished at the FBI. We are told things are happening, and that we are just not seeing it. If I can't see it, it is not happening. If you can't see it, I don't see how it makes a difference.

It may help a bit to move a lot of folks away from the central infection of the Deep State, but I still believe that the concept of a federal Super Police is a fundamentally unworkable concept. Perhaps some lab services and liason functions need to be retained, but IMO, removing arrest powers and all weapons from FBI and changing the name to something like Federal Law Enforcement Assistance Services Department, while depending on state police agencies, with some lab and other communication and research assistance from the FLEAS would be a lot safer for the country in the long run.

1,500 is a drop in the bucket, it's certain not worth reporting. Patel was to clean out the ranks of the fbi and not spend money on a new building. We are trillions of dollars in the hole. There is an overabundance of office space everywhere. It seems to me that until the fbi gains the trust of the American people no new offices, and a serious reduction of costs. The people who brought us to this point, as far as the fbi goes, acted criminally. They are still running around poking us in the eyer. Those people facing justice would be a good start. They were spying on us, and I do include me in it, they need to face justice, etc. It seems to me that spreading the fbi around the country is a good idea. There are crimes in places other than DC; although, the greatest crimes occur by many working there. For one thing, having all of government in one location is unfair to the rest of the country's economies. There is good reason to spread too because the government will be less chummy, including the justice system.

The FBI should be moved out of D.C. entirely. How about Wichita? Or Rapid City, SD? Or Kansas City, MO? They’re already sending a bunch of them to Huntsville, AL and that’s a good start.

Axios has now released the full Special Counsel Robert Hur interview of Joe Biden about the classified documents that were found at his home and office. The interview tok place over two days, October 8 and 9, 2023, with Hur and his Deputy Special Counsel Marc Krickbaum. There are more than five hours of audio.

As RedState reported, several portions of audio from Joe Biden's infamous interview with former special counsel Robert Hur were published by Axios on Friday, and to say they were shocking would be the understatement of the century. It's not that we didn't know Biden was completely senile. This site has written countless stories on the multitude of public appearances by Biden that devolved into doddering confusion, whether it was slurring his words, forgetting the names of his cabinet officials, or repeatedly getting lost trying to exit stages.

Republican spending hawks dealt a significant blow to President Trump’s domestic agenda on Friday, blocking his “big, beautiful” bill from advancing through the House Budget Committee. The measure failed in a 16-21 vote, with five Republicans voting no: Representatives Chip Roy of Texas, Ralph Norman of South Carolina, Josh Brecheen of Oklahoma, Andrew Clyde of Georgia and Lloyd Smucker of Pennsylvania. The party could only lose the support of two of its members and still pass the legislation. The fiscal hawks who voted down the 1,116-page bill argue the measure doesn’t include enough spending cuts

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced Friday that it had launched “Operation Gideon’s Chariots,” aimed at clearing out the remaining Hamas terrorists, tunnels, and weapons from Gaza — inch by inch. Earlier this month, as Breitbart News reported, Israel called up its reserves and began preparing the operation, warning Hamas that it would launch Gideon’s Chariots if all hostages were not freed by the conclusion of U.S. President Donald Trump’s visit to the region. As Breitbart News reported at the time: Military analysts describe “Gideon’s Chariots” as a classic “clear, hold, build” strategy to root out Hamas and create new, credible, demilitarized civilian authorities to govern the Palestinian communities in Gaza.

Too many fishing lines in the same pond. It’s so overcrowded that even James Comey, the insufferable, holier-than-thou ex-FBI director, just tried his hand at it. And still, the great Trump whale eludes them. It beckons the self-righteous description of another failed fisherman, Captain Ahab: “all my means are sane, my motive and my object mad.” In other words, it’s the inverse of the classic Costanza-inspired breakup: “It’s not me. It’s YOU.” Curses and drat, ye Trump! For 10 long years, Democrats have been hunting Donald Trump. For 10 long years, they’ve done everything they could to spear the great monster of the Republic — the dreaded leviathan who is “dismantling our democracy.”

Newly released audio from then-President Joe Biden’s lengthy interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur captures Biden’s diminished mental acuity in his failure to recall the year his son Beau passed away, the year his vice presidency ended, the year President Donald Trump was first elected, and why he possessed certain classified documents. Biden’s long pauses and incoherent ramblings in response to light questioning from Hur are apparent in over four minutes of audio first reported by Axios on Friday night. The partial release fulfills expectations that the Trump administration would finally disclose the long-anticipated interview tape after Biden’s administration obstructed its disclosure at every turn.

We reported earlier how some of the audio from Special Counsel Robert Hur team's interview with Joe Biden had been released by Alex Thompson, one of the authors of the new book about Biden, "Original Sin." That audio segment dealt with how confused Biden was, even over such a pivotal moment as when his son died. As you may recall, Biden later didn't tell the truth and attacked the Hur team for mentioning his son, but the audio shows that yes, indeed, it was Biden who brought up his son. Biden also had confusion over things like when President Donald Trump first took office. It's one thing reading

They’ve also sidestepped whether the party should have more forcefully called on him to abandon his reelection bid earlier. “How are some of these national frontrunners or people who are already barnstorming states like South Carolina or Iowa expected to look voters in the eyes with a straight face and say, ‘Trust me, even though I got the 2024 election

f you want peace, prepare for war. For centuries, those six words kept empires intact. They built walls in Rome, silenced tyrants in Berlin, and kept the peace during America’s rise as a superpower. Today, they’re more than just an ancient motto; they are policy, and President Donald J. Trump knows it. As Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark) put it, that's the difference between the “America First” worldview and the “Blame America First” mindset that preceded it and nearly wrecked us.
