Yesterday, the FBI delivered to the Senate Judiciary Committee emails relating to the search of President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home. Senator Charles Grassley has released what I take to be all of the responsive documents.
Comments you may have seen on the emails are correct: the FBI didn’t think there was probable cause to search Trump’s home, but Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice insisted. The FBI thought they should communicate with Trump’s lawyer and likely be able to reach an agreement. Garland’s DOJ refused. The FBI pointed out that President Trump likely had a good legal argument on the documents; DOJ didn’t care.
Here are some extracts from the emails.

WASHINGTON — Former Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith told lawmakers in a closed-door interview on Wednesday that his team of investigators “developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt” that President Donald Trump had criminally conspired to overturn the results of the 2020 election, according to portions of his opening statement obtained by The Associated Press.
He also said investigators had accrued “powerful evidence” that Trump broke the law by hoarding classified documents from his first term as president at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, and by obstructing government efforts to recover the records.
“I made my decisions in the investigation without regard to President Trump’s political association,

My family has a long history with Ford trucks. Among my earliest memories is riding in the 1950 Ford F-1 my Dad had when he was farming; the Old Man later kept a 4-wheel-drive F-250 on his place for various chores. I've had a bunch, from a 1984 Ford Ranger, two Broncos, a 1999 Ranger, and now the F-350 Super Duty we call the Behemoth. I like Ford trucks, and reckon I'll keep on driving them.
On Tuesday, Ford gave me more reason to favor them by finally dropping the F-150 "Lightning," an all-electric version of Ford's famous top-seller.

Go ahead and file this one under 'You Don't Hate the Media Enough.'
ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) Global Affairs Editor Laura Tingle raised eyebrows during a recent podcast where she—not once, but twice—declared that the targeted terrorist attack at Sydney's Bondi Beach on Sunday evening was not motivated by religion.
The target of the attack was a Hanukkah celebration to mark the first night of the Jewish holiday. The alleged perpetrators, as noted by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who himself would love nothing more than to shift the blame onto inanimate guns, were inspired by ISIS. The attackers had an ISIS flag on the window of their car.

President Trump has sued the British Broadcasting Corporation for $10 billion. He alleges defamation and violation of a Florida unfair trade practices statute, arising out of the BBC’s deceptive editing of the speech Trump gave to his rally in Washington on January 6, 2017. Disregard the $10 billion–it is meaningless. You can read the Complaint here.
All of the commentary I have seen on the lawsuit consists of liberal reporters and liberal “experts” assuring one another that Trump has a lousy case. I have found the commentary to be almost entirely unenlightening.
Sure, Trump could lose. But the critics have focused on 1) the fact that the BBC documentary that is

Legally armed civilians, we’re told, pose a major danger. They shoot innocent bystanders, justifiably kill others whenever they personally believe “force is reasonably necessary,” and rely on racist self-defense laws.
At least these concerns are the case in several recent news articles in the Wall Street Journal. On Monday, with the story on the front page of the Journal, reporter Mark Maremont continued his attacks on people legally carrying concealed handguns. His article presents four stories from 2021 to the present where citizens who used a gun in self-defense accidentally shot a bystander.
But with more than 1.6 million defensive gun uses each year, almost 21 million permit holders,

At a Tuesday afternoon press conference, Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman and Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell gave an update on the murders of legendary Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife, photographer Michele Singer Reiner.
Hochman announced that he would be filing charges against Nick Reiner on two counts of first degree murder with a special circumstance of multiple murders. Reiner also faces a special allegation that he "personally used" a dangerous and deadly weapon – a knife – in the commission of those murders. The charges, according to Hochman, carry a maximum sentence of life in prison with the possibility of parole or the death penalty.

Hollywood imbecile Amanda Seyfried thinks that “socialism is a gorgeous idea.” While on a media tour promoting her latest movie, “The Testament of Ann Lee,” Seyfried told Variety that most people don’t “understand what the word [socialism] actually means.”
“For me, it’s taking care of each other. If I have more money, I can spend more money on other people,” Seyfried said in defense of socialism.
Sadly, Seyfried is a moron who knows nearly nothing about the hideous history of socialism. Moreover, her assertion that socialism is beneficial to society and results in people taking care of each other is absurd.
Every time socialism has been implemented, it has led to mass poverty,

The White House Rapid Response account has posted the clip below from Minnesota Fifth District Rep. Ilhan Omar’s interview with her fan Esme Murphy on CBS Minnesota yesterday. Murphy began this hard-hitting interview with her characteristic fangirl approach to Democrats, striking her usual tone with her first question: “I do want to ask first of all, how are you and what is it like being the focus of a president’s ire repeatedly over and over again?” Hey, Esme, skip to the easy questions! She takes Chris Farley’s tack with Paul McCartney: “How can you be so great?” However, Farley was engaged in comedy. In the clip, Omar addresses the facts

Where are all these mysterious "right-wing extremists" the left loves to yap about? This talking point seems to come out every time there's a terrorist attack or mass murder event, and the perp, when identified, is never a "right-wing extremist." Case in point: The jihadi attackers in the infamous Bondi Beach attack; their motivation isn't hard to work out, but in a statement about that event, Australia's Labor Party Prime Minister Anthony Albanese had to trot out that old bugaboo. (Snip) Now, I'm willing to concede that the prime minister may have simply been reacting to a comment from someone else, but this happens so often

Scott covered this horrific terror attack over the weekend: two gunmen targeted Jewish attendees of a Hanukkah ceremony at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. It was an antisemitic terrorist attack. Fifteen people were killed, with another 40 wounded: Two men who killed 16 people and injured 40 other people at a Hanukkah event at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, have been identified by Australian social media.
Social media has identified the suspected shooters as Khaled Al-Nablusi from Sidon and the other, Naveed Akram from Pakistan.
And now we have reports that responding officers “froze” (via NY Post): (X) Oh, and would it also shock you that this Naveed Akram guy

A recent Washington Post article about a trans comedian starts out with the following passage,As far as questions go, this is an easy one.What have you done before?’ the judge asks Jamie Mack. (Snip) I got that far into it when I had to ask myself what just happened. Then, I realized that the author had just mobilized the English language to confound me. As a good liberal and Washington Post reporter, he was doing what is expected of him. Modern leftist etiquette dictates that we should all mangle the English language to comply with the needs of a transvestite; he was now called a “they.” The story that the author recounts is typical. It is one of a closeted q**** having dalliances with other closeted
