It Gets Worse for Swalwell: Nannygate Much?

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) just confirmed on Sunday that a federal investigation into the malodorous Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) now includes reports that the California Democrat, best known for his public flatulence and for sleeping with an alleged Chinese spy, hired and then lied about a Brazilian nanny who was living in the United States illegally.

POLITICO’s Dan Lippman broke the story, reporting that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) had referred the allegations to law enforcement at DHS. The department fired back with a blunt response from its official X account:

“USCIS has been collecting information on the allegations involving Congressman Eric Swalwell hiring of a Brazilian national as a nanny without lawful work authorization.
@USCIS has referred this matter to DHS law enforcement for investigation. No one is above the law, including a member of Congress.” 

Sources say this bombshell lands as multiple other investigations are already circling the wagons around Swalwell and as the embattled California congressman and former would-be gubernatorial candidate faces a growing pile of accusations of inappropriate sexual behavior, ranging from unwanted attention to at least one claim of rape from a former staffer. 

The Manhattan district attorney opened an investigation into Swalwell on Saturday after learning that one of the women accusing him of sexual misconduct lived in New York. Weeks earlier, the Justice Department had opened an unrelated probe into the gubernatorial hopeful, alleging mortgage fraud.

Since the accusations started dropping on Friday, Swalwell’s friends and colleagues have deserted him faster than rats fleeing a taxpayer-funded cruise ship. Democrats in Congress yanked their support for his gubernatorial run, publicly withdrawing endorsements and demanding he drop out of the race. Some went further, calling for him to resign his congressional seat and a few have openly said that, if given the chance, they’d vote to expel him from the House.

His own employees piled on, with a group of senior staffers from both his congressional office and gubernatorial campaign issuing a joint memo and resigning en masse. They also urged voters to pull their support from Swalwell.

Swalwell has denied the accusations, calling them “flat false” and vowing to fight back with everything he has which, at this point, appears to be nothing but a collection of strongly-worded denials, a Brazilian nanny, and whatever scraps of dignity he has left after the whole Fang Fang incident.

He has since bowed out of the gubernatorial race and if he's lucky, he might remain in Congress.

Dem-run 'sanctuary city' frees illegal alien child sex offender

A 25-year-old illegal alien from Guatemala who was convicted of sexual abuse of a minor in the blue state of Maryland, had his six-year prison sentence suspended by a Baltimore County judge, who evidently never had any of his own children raped. The pedophile was freed in total disregard of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainment request.

Now, the Democrat county is walking back its "sanctuary" policy following enormous backlash which might hurt the Party in upcoming elections as people have "had it up to here" with the failure of government to act responsibly.

The Guatemalan national living in the U.S. illegally, was arrested by the Baltimore County Police Department on January 23, 2023. He was charged with sexual abuse of a minor (as a household/family member),  attempted sex offense in the third degree, sex offense in the third degree, and two counts of second-degree assault. 

The charging documents specified that scumbag whose name will not be used here sexually abused a 13-year-old and a 14-year-old.

The Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Baltimore immediately lodged an immigration detainer against him with the Baltimore County Detention Center in order to hold illegal aliens who have committed crimes.

Federal detainers request that local law enforcement agencies notify ICE in advance before "removable" suspects are released and ask that they be detained until ICE can assume custody. Detainers allow for an arrest to be made in a secure, controlled custodial setting rather than having to hunt down an at-large illegal alien freely roaming the streets, which requires "scarce" government resources, ICE says.

On April 10, 2024, the illegal alien was convicted of a fourth-degree sex offense (sexual contact) and assault in the second degree. He was sentenced to a total of six years in prison followed by five years of probation.

But records obtained by Townhall show on that same day Judge Jan Marshall Alexander of the county's Circuit Court suspended all of the convicted child sex offender's prison time, and the county jail was ordered to release him. However, the court order directed the Baltimore County Detention Center to "check for detainers" first. Whether or not they checked, he was let out in spite of ICE's active detainer.

More than a month later, deportation officers from ERO Baltimore's Fugitive Operations Team apprehended the Tier 1 sex offender scum near his Baltimore residence on May 29. He will now remain in ICE custody pending his removal from the U.S.

"[Redacted] was convicted of sex crimes against a local child and posed a significant threat to other Maryland children," ERO Baltimore's acting Field Office Director Matthew Elliston said in an ICE press release. "We will not tolerate the residents of our communities to be victimized by unlawfully present sex offenders. The women and men of ERO Baltimore will continue to prioritize the safety of our public by aggressively arresting and removing noncitizen predators from our neighborhoods."

U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) first encountered [redacted] as an unaccompanied minor near Laredo, Texas, on June 19, 2014, after he unlawfully entered the United States without being inspected, admitted, or paroled by a U.S. immigration official. USBP served [redacted] a notice to appear before a U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) immigration judge. Then, on June 22, 2014, he was transferred to the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement, which ultimately released [redacted] on November 8, 2014, and handed him over to "a sponsor" residing in Maryland. On Oct. 8, 2015, [redacted] was ordered to be removed from the United States and sent back to Guatemala in absentia.

Fully 70 percent of the ICE detainers were ignored by Baltimore County between October 2022 and September 2023, according to a FOX45 News investigation. That fiscal year, federal agents filed 81 detainers, of which only 24 were honored and the remaining 57 were ignored.

The Baltimore Sun reported that the county has since modified its "sanctuary" policies in the wake of the scumcrumpet's release.

"Following a productive meeting with the ERO Baltimore acting field officer director, Baltimore County and ERO officials agreed to adjustments to current county policies in order to best support this shared work, including making every effort to notify ICE officials 48 hours or more prior to an individual's release whenever possible," Baltimore County leadership announced in a press statement.

Baltimore County, like its neighboring counties, is a "sanctuary" jurisdiction. Law enforcement authorities are not allowed to retain illegal aliens incarcerated, even in criminal cases. In addition, Baltimore County police are prohibited from arresting illegal aliens based on their illegal alien status, because arresting them would be constitutional and Democrats hate that document.

Biden's foreign policy decisions remain 100% predictable as US buys Chinese drones

Leave it to Biden to muck (sic) things up when it involves foreign policy decisions. If you can think of even one good decision this bozo has made, please comment below.

Now the plan is for federal law enforcement agencies to buy surveillance drones from the Communist China government. 

What could possibly go wrong?

Well, our military has given multiple warnings to the Biden-Harris-etc.-etc. administration that drones sold to us by our enemy poses a serious threat to our national security, to which our demented leader asked, "what's a drone?"

“The Secret Service bought eight DJI drones on July 26, according to procurement records obtained by the industry publication IPVM,” Axios reported. “That was three days after the Defense Department released a statement saying DJI products ‘pose potential threats to national security.'”

The outlet then cited records showing the FBI bought 19 drones made by the same Communist China-based company, owned and operated by the Chinese government.

The U.S. military repeatedly warned against using the drones during the Trump administration, which is likely why the current incompetent administration bought the damn things--if Trump hated it, they love it. The military is still trying to warn these political cretins against using the drones while Biden pretends to be in charge.

“The Department of Defense (DOD) position is that systems produced by Da Jiang Innovations (DJI) pose potential threats to national security,” the Pentagon warned this summer. “Existing DOD policy and practices associated with the use of these systems by U.S. government entities and forces working with U.S. military services remain unchanged contrary to any written reports not approved for release by the DOD.”

It isn't known whether the drones simply steal information from the U.S. or if they violently explode when flying over populated areas--it's anyone's guess. But if Trump refused to buy them, that's good enough for Chief Sniffing Hair. After all, he and his son, Hunter, have a financial interest in China's economic growth.

“In 2018, DOD issued a ban on the purchase and use of all commercial off-the-shelf drones, regardless of manufacturer, due to cybersecurity concerns,” the statement added. “The following year, Congress passed legislation specifically banning the purchase and use of drones and components manufactured in China. DOD complies with Section 848 of the FY20 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and additional guidance provided by Executive Order 13981.”

The Department of Homeland Security warned in 2017 that it had “moderate confidence that Chinese-based company DJI Science and Technology is providing U.S. critical infrastructure and law enforcement data to the Chinese government.”

The DHS warned that it has:

“…high confidence [DJI] is selectively targeting government and privately owned entities within these sectors to expand its ability to collect and exploit sensitive U.S. data.” 

“…high confidence a foreign government with access to this information could easily coordinate physical or cyber attacks against critical sites.” 

“…high confidence that outside of DJI’s goal to attain law enforcement customers, DJI’s criteria for selecting accounts to target appears to focus on the account holder’s ability to disrupt critical infrastructure. As a result, DJI has amassed customers such as American Water, Union Pacific, and American Electric Power, some of the biggest utility and transportation companies in the United States.” 

“…high confidence the critical infrastructure and law enforcement entities using DJI systems are collecting sensitive intelligence that the Chinese government could use to conduct physical or cyber attacks against the United States and its population. Alternatively, China could provide DJI information to terrorist organizations, hostile non-state entities, or state-sponsored groups to coordinate attacks against U.S. critical infrastructure. The UAS capture close-up imagery and GPS information on water systems, rail systems, hazardous material storage systems, first responders’ activity, and construction of highways, bridges, and rails.”

It's good to know how confident DHS is with what it believes to be true. That gives me high confidence in knowing that our current POTUS hasn't a clue as to what he's doing other than when he's eating ice cream.

Joe Biden is an embarrassment to the country.

Feds Buying Chinese Drones Despite Military Warning That They Pose Threat To National Security

Rioters in Oklahoma charged with terrorism

"We're not in Seattle anymore, Toto."

Oklahoma authorities, under the direction of Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater, said last week that they are charging alleged rioters with terrorism and assault, adding that they would not tolerate "this lawlessness here."

“This is not Seattle,” Prater said, referring to the city where anarchy runs rampant and the mayor, Jenny Durkan watches while the city burns and calls it the "summer of love."

The charges, which appear to be for alleged crimes that were committed a couple of weeks ago, also included “five defendants identified as involved in the painting of murals in downtown Oklahoma City this week,” The Oklahoman reported. “They are accused in an incitement to riot charge of interfering with a police sergeant who was trying to take a homicide witness for an interview at police headquarters Tuesday.”

The ACLU criticized the use of the “harshest possible charges” against the alleged rioters because the ACLU has never stood behind law and order and is more pro-communism than pro-America.

Prater defended the charges on Sunday, saying, “When you act like a terrorist, you will be treated like a terrorist.” This is known as carrying out the law.

The Oklahoman additionally reported that “[T]he terrorism charges involved the burning of an Oklahoma County sheriff’s van and the damage done to an Oklahoma City bail bonds business. One defendant, Isael Antonio Ortiz, 21, of Welch, is charged in both incidents. He was jailed Saturday morning. If convicted, he could be sentenced to life in prison.”

But it's doubtful he'd get such a stiff sentence because nobody seems to get what should be coming to them anymore.

“Several people were carrying flags that were identified as belonging to the following groups: Antifa, Soviet Union, American Indian Movement [since when is "Indian" an acceptable label for a group of people not from India?], Anarcho-Communism (solid red) and the original Oklahoma flag … currently adopted by Oklahoma Socialists,” police reported, according to The Oklahoman. “Several known supporters of anti-establishment organizations were present in the crowd.” However, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer couldn't make the trip.

Criminal charges against inanimate object attackers

Law enforcement did everything in its power to avoid enforcing the law as angry protesters, inspired by the Charlottesville riots, toppled a Confederate statue in North Carolina on Monday. In fact, law enforcement stood by and watched the statue topple down.

Not once did the brave officers of the Durham Police Department or deputies with the Durham County Sheriff's Office step in as leftist activists brought a ladder up to the statue and used a rope to bravely pull it down. 

While not one militant was arrested Monday, on Tuesday, when the proverbial coast was clear, Durham County Sheriff Mike Andrews told the media that investigators were working to identify the protesters and planned to bring criminal charges against them.

While they're at it, they ought to identify law enforcement personnel who refused to uphold the law and do something about them.

"We decided that restraint and public safety would be our priority," Andrews posted on the agency's website known as 'We serve to not get involved.'

"As Sheriff, I am not blind to the offensive conduct of some demonstrators nor will I ignore their criminal conduct."

But he ignored their criminal conduct while they were actually committing the crime.

"My deputies showed great restraint and respect for the constitutional rights of the group expressing their anger and disgust for recent events in our country. Racism and incivility have no place in our country or Durham," Andrews said unconvincingly.

Calls for additional comments weren't immediately provided to the press.

Look, I understand where the protesters are coming from and I agree that slavery is disgusting. Insofar as the neo-nazi scum are concerned, I believe Trump was foolish not to have immediately called it out. It isn't like he's shy about calling out radical Islamic terrorism, fake news, lyin' Ted, Crooked Hillary, or anything else that pierces his thin skin.

I also know that these same protesters are planing a march against Islamic slavery, female genital mutilation, and anti-Semitism, some time in the future.

Or maybe not.

The problem is, anger does not trump the rule of law. And anger should not eradicate historical fact, like the Russians did when Communism was all the rage. If a town or state votes to take down an historical statue, then let them. But it isn't okay for a bunch of anarchists to go about destroying property that isn't theirs.

The Confederate Soldiers Monument in Durham was dedicated in 1924 and shows a soldier holding a rifle. When it toppled down the crowd cheered and some brave boys and girls even began kicking it to symbolize what they would do if they outnumbered a real Confederate soldier.

Some of the boys and girls had selfies done standing or sitting on the toppled statue. It was a fun day for all the angry young munchkins.

It was obvious that somehow Donald Trump was going to get blamed for all of this. Identity politics is the only way the left knows how to operate and they're very good at it.

Photo: AP

But a young lady and two state troopers were killed in Charlottesville and that isn't about identity politics and shouldn't be used as a vehicle to launch one's opinion for either side.

It doesn't take a genius or a group of GOP pollsters to know that Trump should have immediately condemned the white supremacists, neo-nazis and KKK when the rally first began. It also should have immediately caused a reaction with the Charlottesville Police Department when both sides of the rally were showing up with weapons, shields and some had their faces covered.

The Charlottesville and Durham police departments failed to do their jobs when the danger was present and, in the latter case, when the law was being broken.

It's like the LifeLock commercial with the bank security monitor. He isn't there to stop the bank from being robbed--he's only there to monitor the situation.

Trump meets Comey at White House

President Trump met with FBI Director James Comey during a reception for law enforcement officials and first responders at the White House.

Trump joked with the crowd saying that Comey had "become more famous than me," which made me feel as uncomfortable I do when Michael, from "The Office" says something uncomfortable like that. But that's just Trump being Trump.

Comey shook hands with the President as well as VP Pence.

Some Democrats blamed Comey for Clinton's wonderful defeat in the presidential election, making her a two-time loser. Even Hillary had the lack of class to blame Comey rather than her incompetence and poor campaign strategy and disdain for the "Deplorables." 

Earlier this month the Department of Justice Inspector General opened an investigation into Comey's handling of the Clinton email case. Hopefully, the investigation will further uncover the truth about Clinton's arrogant use of a private and clearly illegal email server, rather than to serve as a way of getting back at Comey.

Trump briefly addressed the law enforcement personnel at the meeting along with other agency heads who helped with the inauguration festivities. President Trump said his swearing-in was "such a success and such a safety success and we want to thank you all."
