SSCI Vice-Chairman Mark Warner is not happy the Trump administration is subverting the oversight authorities of the SSCI and Gang-of-Eight. If you know the background of the SSCI and Warner, his frustration is a positive indication. I’ll have much more to say about the ramifications of his anxiety and the background therein, but here’s the raw interview as broadcast for context of what will follow. Senate Intelligence Committee vice chairman, Democratic Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, told “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan” that the committee was not briefed ahead of President Trump’s deadly Venezuelan boat strike that was allegedly carrying drugs.

Comments:

Warner thought the IC should have been briefed. Idiot doesn't understand the element of surprise.

Not long ago that Senate committee was considered to be the most corrupt in our federal government. PDJT wisely avoids it and duplicitous Warner.

Trump knows that you don't tell Democrats anything, especially that low-life Warner. That's one guy I can't stand and I'll bet Trump feels the same way about him. If Warner knew anything, he would have called Maduro immediately. Did you take note of the smile on Brennan's mug compared to when she is grilling a Republican?

Unless Trump was aware of where and when a Venezuelan fast boat full of drugs was going to be running, how could the non trustworthy Senate Intelligence Committee be notified? Even if they were, what difference would it have made? The negative nellies Democrats would complain whether notified or not.

The entire Democrat Party is a snake-ball of likeminded snakes in a mating ritual notably involving uniquely themselves. No longer do we have the likes of conservative Democrats like, Sen. Sam Nunn (D-GA), or Sen. Strom Thurmond (D/R-SC), etc. Today's Congressional Democrat has to come to Washington DC and first curtsey and "kiss the ring" of Party Leadership, then lick their shoes as a sign of obeisance to the empowered Party Elite. No wonder so many Gen Z voters are abandoning the Party of Slavery.

FTA: "Senate Intelligence Committee vice chairman, Democratic Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, told “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan” that the committee was not briefed ahead of President Trump’s deadly Venezuelan boat strike that was allegedly carrying drugs." Had they told Warner, specifically, there would have been no surprise, perhaps another transporter another day! Wh knew TREASON could be spelled with a "W"arner.

I'm taking a guess and assume Warner is on the payroll of drug cartels. Of course his bank accounts would carry more weight with him than the safety of Americans. He'd be expected to pass that info on to his masters in order to see bigger numbers in those accounts.

You might not have been briefed because President Trump knows that he can't trust a democrat to keep their mouths shut. It wouldn't surprise anyone if his tactics were blabbed all over CNN by one of them..

The Trump administration used a drone strike to eliminate what it says was a Venezuelan boat filled with narcotics last week. When Vice President J.D. Vance applauded the operation as the “highest and best use of our military,” Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., compared the strike to a lynching.

President Putin notes some of the internal political issues within Ukraine must be deconflicted in order for discussions to proceed. Without these issues resolved, discussion is futile.

Russia launched its largest air attack of the war on Ukraine overnight, setting the main government building on fire in central Kyiv and killing at least four people, including an infant, Ukrainian officials said on Sunday. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said the drone and missile barrage killed four people and caused damage across the north, south and east of the country, including the cities of Zaporizhzhia, Kryvyi Rih and Odesa, as well as in the Sumy and Chernihiv regions. "Such killings now, when real diplomacy could have already begun long ago, are a deliberate crime and a prolongation of the war," Zelenskiy said in a post on X, issuing a fresh appeal \

While the AMA positions itself as the voice of physicians, in reality it’s largely a government-sanctioned medical coding monopoly that extracts billions from the health care system and funnels it into leftist political advocacy supporting transgender pseudo-science, climate radicalism, and racial quotas in medical education and practice.It’s an arrangement that is not only anti-competitive but profoundly unfair, compelling doctors and patients to subsidize agendas they may vehemently oppose.

Stephen King seems to have replaced his talent for weaving chilling tales with an unhealthy obsession with Donald Trump and his supporters. Instead of focusing on novels, King has turned himself into yet another left-wing pundit who just happens to have a long list of bestsellers on his résumé. And while his books used to inspire genuine fear, his political predictions are now nothing more than laughable, partisan nonsense. His latest declaration is so ridiculous, it proves just how consumed he’s become with Trump Derangement Syndrome. According to King, years from now, many Americans who voted for Donald Trump will deny ever having done so.

Late last week NBC ran a “news” story featuring a dozen disgruntled federal judges whose rulings against various Trump administration policies have been stayed or overturned by the Supreme Court. These lower court judges, none of whom had the courage to allow NBC to name them in the article, bewailed the failure of SCOTUS to provide sufficient justification for ruling against them. It’s blindingly obvious, however, that the real issue they are whining about is the Court’s refusal to countenance their usurpation of the President’s Article II powers and frustrate implementation of his agenda.
