Just another of a number of articles today regarding FBI agents taking matters into their own hands in suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story:

Miranda Devine: FBI agents finally face accountability after trying to smother the Hunter Biden corruption scandal

Two of the FBI agents most closely identified with the FBI’s politicized operation to smother the Hunter Biden corruption scandal are facing their first taste of accountability.

Ex-FBI officials arrested in Hunter Biden laptop probe as testimony comes under scrutiny

Two former FBI officials face charges for allegedly lying to Congress about their roles in investigating Hunter Biden's laptop and foreign ties.

FWIW, the two key figures involved managed to land very plush jobs after leaving the FBI. One went to Microsoft to join her mentor. The other is at Amazon in a high level risk management position.

Bravo!


Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants our taxpayer dollars. He wants his very own personal United States Senator. He is trying to buy Texas.


That's a great ad from Talarico. Really effective!

This is a woman who should be under a microscope for sedition:

Sen. Slotkin urges Dems to use prosecution to make young people afraid to serve in Trump admin

Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin publicly called on Democrats to “go after” and intimidate young conservatives who want to work in the Trump administration to kickstart their careers.

nypost.com

This is similar to the same crap Maxine Waters peddled during Trump's first term.

Absolutely disgusting.

I know you take political issues seriously, so I’d suggest stepping back from the NY Post tabloid spin on this one. Watch Slotkin’s actual full interview at UChicago instead of falling for chopped-up outrage bait. She talked about holding corrupt officials accountable under the law. How is enforcing the law 'sedition'? Republicans and the right-wing media ran this exact same fake outrage when Kelly and Slotkin reminded troops about illegal orders, brought it to a grand jury, and got laughed out of courts. Watch the clip, tell me where she said anything seditious, or give it a rest.


Watch the complete interview:

I've seen a lot of ugly political ads over the years, but this may be one of the worst. Ramaswamy is honestly one of the most disgustings politicians I've seen. He spent $4 million pushing this garbage, and it seems to have completely backfired. Acton's numbers have gone up, his have dropped, and even decent Republicans have condemned it.

And that is when people will remember that Teliboy is pro-mutilating children's genitals all in the name of diversity. Democrats had this in the bag all they had to do is put candidates that aren't a bunch of woke weirdos but because of their woke weirdness GOP will keep the senate and iffy on the house but GOP keeping the senate will be an election day victory.

My opinion this will be the last time dems get the house or have a shot at taking the house because in 2028 more states will be redistricting removing democrat seats, and deportation of illegals will have a huge effect on voting fraud. Folks aren't going to forget how under sleepy Joe we got invaded with 10-20 million illegals creating chaos and got lectured that the only way to remedy it was by passing a silly bill, but then the Orangeman came and totally blew up democratic bull cht lie and closed the border and is deporting these undesirables out! I didn't vote for Orangeman but I sure as hell love his immigration policy which gets me to tolerate a lot of his ridiculousness and if he could run again I'd vote for him on his immigration policy alone because it affects millions of American's way of life.

There are so many wild claims in this post that it's hard to know where to start, but let's start with these.

I'll gladly agree Biden handled the border badly. But the 10-20 million number sounds like something pulled out of thin air. Got a source for that?

And the border bill getting killed wasn't some genius move. Trump wanted the issue alive because it's political gold every election. If the border was actually fixed, Republicans lose one of their biggest talking points.

The 10 million is the low end and 20 high nobody knows the actual numbers but the liberal/progressive numbers that they shout thinking it makes Orangeman look bad is 10 million. Let's buy the democrats number as true, 10 million is a disaster and betrayal to the American people especially when they purposely allowed many military aged men who were gang members in the US causing the crime rate to spike.

And the border bill getting killed wasn't some genius move. Trump wanted the issue alive because it's political gold every election.

The border bill was bull cht political optics anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional or purposely ignorant. A new bill was not needed all Biden had to do is enforced what was already allowed and do you know how I and many Americans know this? Because the moment Orangeman won no new bill was passed all he did is enforced what is currently law and the results speak for themselves don't they?

If the border was actually fixed, Republicans lose one of their biggest talking points.

Thank you for pointing how stupid democrats are by not fixing the border and removing a major republican talking point.

I have friends who are active duty Border Patrol. Per them, 10-14M is a good number to work with,.

The entire Illegal population was estimated at 15 million in the US, which was done by some right-leaning institution (forgot which one, will supply that with source if I come across that article again) that estimated the number based on the social support every state gave.

On the other hand, there aren't any border counters you can use to see how many people came across over a specific amount of time (say 4 years); you can calculate or estimate the number that were already in the US when you conducted the study, but there isn't pretty much any way you can estimate correctly how many came through from the Biden administration.

Most CBP figures are about traffic rate; yes, technically they can get that number in 4 years if EVERY TRUCK and CAR that goes over the border carries a full load of illegal migrants, but in reality IIRC, it's like 30-40% of those carry illegal. I know, as I went to FLETC. Which train Federal CBP agents.

That number is a scare tactic; I can tell you this: before I went to FLETC in late 2000, there were already 9 million or so illegal immigrants living in the US. If Biden let in 15 million or 20 million, 1/10 of the US would have been illegal aliens, and 1/3 of the United States would have been Hispanic. Consider that about 25% of the US is Hispanic.

Also, for that figure to work, you need 600 Mexicans to cross the border every hour every day for 4 years (20,000,000/4/365/24). That's pretty much impossible.
