Dennis Rodman not going to help Brittney Griner's release from Russian prison

Former NBA basketball player Dennis Rodman had been planning to go to Russia in an effort to free WNBA basketball player Brittney Griner from a Russian prison after being found guilty of drug possession. He told the public last week that he was all set to go there but the U.S. government publicly discouraged his plan. Now he appears to have changed his mind and will not be going to Russia.

Griner has been sentenced to nine years in early August for bringing cannabis oil vape cartridges into Russia in February. On Saturday, Rodman told NBC News that he planned to go there to help Griner.

“I got permission to go to Russia to help that girl,” Rodman said Saturday. “I’m trying to go this week.”

However, government officials the State Department immediately indicated they thought Rodman’s plan was garbage and told the former dribbler and shooter of basketballs that if he had gone, he would not be acting in any official capacity for the United States.

“He would not be traveling on behalf of the U.S. government,” Ned Price, the first openly gay, married to a dude State Department spokesman, told ABC News.

“We believe that anything other than negotiating further through the established channel is likely to complicate and hinder those release efforts,” Price added.

Rodman, in the midst of scrutiny over his comments, told ABC News on Monday that he now has no plans to travel to Russia, the network reported.

The State Department also issued a travel advisory to discourage all Americans from visiting Russia.

“Do not travel to Russia due to the unprovoked and unjustified invasion of Ukraine by Russian military forces, the potential for harassment against U.S. citizens by Russian government security officials, the singling out of U.S. citizens in Russia by Russian government security officials including for detention, the arbitrary enforcement of local law, limited flights into and out of Russia, the Embassy’s limited ability to assist U.S. citizens in Russia, COVID-19-related restrictions, and terrorism.

“U.S. citizens residing or traveling in Russia should depart Russia immediately. Exercise increased caution due to wrongful detention,” the advisory outlined.

However, even though the advisory is in place, Rodman does not need special permission from the U.S. to go to Russia. He just would have needed a visa from Moscow.

Rodman has a history of informal diplomacy with international leaders who have a strained relationship with the United States. Over the past 10 years, the former NBA star has had a relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and has visited the country multiple times.

And while he might be strange in so many ways, he would still make a better president than Joe Biden, and unlike Brittney Griner, he never "took a knee" during the national anthem.

DOJ's Garland admits FBI seized "attorney-client privileged information" in Mar-a-Lago raid

The Attorney General of the United States, Merrick Garland, head of the Department of Justice has just made that department an oxymoron. When it comes to justice, one needs to look elsewhere. The AG finally admitted in a court filing Monday that FBI agents seized documents “potentially contain[ing] attorney-client privileged information” in the raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home. 

Rather than having the walnuts to admit they grabbed attorney-client privileged information, Garland gave a half admission until the next shoe is forced to drop.

The admission comes as U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon suggested that she plans to appoint a special master to oversee the FBI’s review of materials they grabbed on August 8th when they ran an unprecedented raid on a former US president. Trump’s legal team requested the special master last week, claiming that the former president needed a safeguard against the DOJ obtaining privileged information. This makes perfect sense to anyone who has been following the behavior of the FBI. (Efrem Zimbalist Jr. must be rolling in his grave. Google him if you don't get the reference.)

Efrem Zimbalist Jr.

The DOJ said in the filing:

Although the government will provide the Court more detail in its forthcoming supplemental filing, the government notes that, before the Court issued its Preliminary Order, and in accordance with the judicially authorized search warrant’s provisions, the [FBI] Privilege Review Team … identified a limited set of materials that potentially contain attorney-client privileged information, completed its review of those materials, and is in the process of following the procedures set forth in paragraph 84 of the search warrant affidavit to address potential privilege disputes, if any.

On Saturday, Judge Cannon issued an order giving the Justice Department until Tuesday to produce a more detailed list of items seized at Mar-a-Lago, as well as the proceedings of the Department of Justice’s “filter team” that is going through all of Trump’s documents. The DOJ also said on Monday it will comply with Cannon’s request and file the documents under seal by Tuesday.

Trump filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Florida after the raid, in which he stated that his Fourth Amendment rights had been violated--you know, the unlawful search and seizure thingy--in which the seizure of some documents, including two of his passports, "helped" Merrick Garland & Cronies realize they screwed up and better fess up now rather than try blowing smoke where the sun don't shine and obfuscating what they did. 

In the lawsuit, Trump’s lawyers said the Mar-a-Lago raid was likely motivated more by politics than the rule of law. “[T]he Government has failed to legitimize its historic decision,” the suit claims while adding that Merrick Garland took the “unheard-of step” of holding a press conference over the raid and agreeing to release part of the search warrant application.

Imagine if Garland ever got to land on the Supreme Court.

On Thursday, Federal Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart ordered that a redacted version of the affidavit that led to the execution of a search warrant on Mar-A-Lago be released (last) Friday morning. When the heavily redacted affidavit was released as ordered, the FBI was absolutely crushed on social media, which included charges of “grave travesty” and “no reason for [the] raid.”

But the redactions were so copious that it led to a shortage of black ink across the country.

Meanwhile, Garland et al., have their walnuts in a vice and it's slowly closing in on them. This should be very interesting in spite of the incredible levels of corruption in government that suggests these scumwafers may get away with their disgusting behavior.

NYC bank ATMs no longer home for the homeless: banks locking doors

Banks all around the Big Apple will be locking out ATM users and the homeless at night in order to stop the homeless from sleeping in the vestibules that also serve as toilets. While this will obviously be an inconvenience for people with jobs who care to use an ATM after hours, it will also require the homeless sleep elsewhere, such as subways and shelters.

Branches for Chase, City National Bank and Citizens have been surreptitiously locking their doors even to customers who have a bank card as early as 10 PM or 11 PM and reopening them early morning, according to The New York Post.

Bank branch employees told The Post that ATM lobbies have become refuges for the homeless who sleep in these small spaces overnight and often use the space as toilets, leaving their feces behind and creating a stinky safety hazard for employees and customers who are afraid to enter the lobbies lest they slip or get mugged.

“A lot of stuff happens at night,” said an ATM technician who did not want to be identified because he’s not authorized to speak to the media. 

Bank of America did not respond for comment as they were engaged in cleaning away a mess left the previous night before they finalized their decision.

Citizens acknowledged the disruption to its service, citing “safety issues.” Surprisingly, they never mentioned the ambience issue as well.

“Like a number of other banks, we have temporarily closed some ATM vestibules overnight at certain New York City branch locations where we have seen repeat activity that could present a potentially dangerous situation for our customers or colleagues,” spokeswoman, Eleni Garbis said in a statement.

A spokesman for Chase, Jerry Dubrowski, said the situation is “fluid” and that the bank is “constantly evaluating the environment in a community.” His definition of "fluid" was not made clear but one can only imagine what Jerry meant.

Some Chase branches may close for a period of time and then reopen for full 24-hour access again, he said, adding that the limited hours apply to a minority of Chase branches in the city.

Some banks have hired security guards to sit inside the vestibules in the early evening hours, Matt Roberts, president of the 17th Precinct Community Council, and adding that some homeless people have bank cards and can let themselves into the lobbies, but they rarely make withdrawals, only deposits.

Now with New York's illegal immigrant sanctuary city policy, the homeless problem may run amok if they run out of 5-Star hotels to house the illegals and they may end up seeking other places to crash and dump.

Dem charged with a felony: can get 3 years and $100K fine

Colorado State Senator Pete Lee (D) and chair of the chambers judicial committee was indicted in early August for allegedly lying about where he lives for the purpose of voting. And this dolt is the freaking chair of the judicial committee--it's like a Babylon Bee story.

A grand jury for El Paso County indicted the Democrat, but he denies the charges, according to the Associated Press. The indictment alleges that on March 3, 2020, Lee “voted giving false information regarding the elector’s place of present residence,” the Colorado Sun reported.

Lying about one's residence is a Class 5 felony.

But it isn't as if he had documents on his computer about deals with China, or classified documents that only a President could declassify with just his word. It wasn't as if he video recorded himself smoking crack off the butt of a prostitute or "doing a Toobin" in a swimming pool and recording himself on video. No, it was lying about where he lived so that he could vote.

Lee had no comment when the indictment was handed down but he asked to be taken off the interim committee on judicial discipline because the irony was too ironic.

He wanted “to avoid having my personal circumstances become a distraction," [yadda, yadda] according to a statement, the AP reported.

Lee's lawyer said the case will be vigorously challenged.

Lee can get 3 years in the slammer and a fine of up to $100,000 if found guilty. But unlike Republicans, especially Republican Presidents, a Democrat is innocent until proved guilty in a court of law.

3.8 Million Renters to be Evicted in 2 Months

Easy for socialist non-home owners to demand of someone else's property

As the scourge of COVID-19 winds down and the pandemic eviction moratoriums end across the nation, about 3,800,000 renters say that they are likely slated to be evicted from the apartments they have been living in rent-free since the China virus began to spread.

Approximately 8,500,000 people will be behind in their rent obligation as of the end of this month, according to Census Bureau data.

In June, rents rose above $2,000/month for the first time ever, and evictions are spiking in major US cities. Now that eviction moratoriums ending, tenants who've had a free ride on the backs of landlords, are finding themselves in tough times.

There are many stories about tenants who didn't pay rent but splurged on themselves anyway. For example, a Pasadena couple were not able to collect rent from a scumcrumpet tenant who leased a new car and allegedly bought new clothing on a regular basis, and even got food delivered.

In another example, a couple purchased a house last summer in nearby Carson, California. Months later, they still could not move in as a tenant from the previous owner refused to leave. This is a fine example of how government interference screws up everything.

The stories go on and on.

Finally, in New York's trendy West Village, a woman lived in an apartment for over three years. Her landlord, who was also her roommate, was unable to evict her until this week. The squatter was locked out of the apartment but wanted to return to get her stuff--too bad, she was locked out finally.

Iraq Presidential Palace Breached but US Denies Embassy Evacuation

Haydar Karaalp/Anadolu Agency/Getty Images

Iraq's presidential palace was breached Monday in response to a Shi'ite cleric announcing his resignation from politics to pursue a career as a standup comic at a Gaza Strip club. [He has been working on an opening line joke: "A Jewish guy walks into a mosque."]

A video appears to show U.S. Embassy employees in Baghdad being airlifted by a helicopter.

John Kirby, the empty-suit coordinator for strategic communications at the National Security Council, later claimed that there was no evacuation of U.S. Embassy personnel, in contrast with earlier reports.

“There’s no evacuation going on at the embassy and no indication that’s going to be required at this time,” Kirby told Democrat note-takers, [aka reporters] according to The Hill.

Concerns of unrest have grown recently, with the U.S. Embassy in Iraq releasing a statement last week urging calm among all parties.

“We are closely monitoring reports of unrest in Baghdad today at the Supreme Judicial Council,” an embassy spokesperson said.

“We urge all parties to remain calm, abstain from violence, and resolve any political differences through a peaceful process guided by the Iraqi constitution. We also call for those demonstrating to respect the proceedings and property of Iraq’s governmental institutions which belong to and serve the Iraqi people,” the spokesperson added, tongue-in-cheek. 

The Iraqi government has been in controversy since October when cleric Muqtada al-Sadr’s party won the most seats in the election but failed to reach the number needed to form a majority government, kind of like what happened in Canada with Trudeau. The Shi'ite leader refused to negotiate with Iran-backed Shi'ites to create a consensus government because only no good can come from that.

Al-Sadr’s supporters staged a government sit-in over the past four weeks to prevent political/religious rivals from forming an opposing coalition government. His party members have also announced their resignations, with al-Sadr joining in solidarity. "I will do comedy now," said al-Sadr.

The leaders’ statement was in response to the retirement of the Shia spiritual leader Ayatollah Kadhim al-Haeri, who counts many of al-Sadr’s supporters as followers. The Ayatollah plans to open a university in Italy calling it "Ayatollah U." It will specialize in Critical Racist Theory and chemical engineering.

On Sunday, al-Haeri announced he was stepping down and called on his followers to support Iran’s main Shi'ite leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei instead of the Shia spiritual center in Najaf, Iraq.

In response, several hundred crazed protesters breached the concrete barriers outside the palace gates and stormed the building. Iraq’s military issued a curfew and has called on protesters to leave immediately.

Some protesters have decided to stay despite the warning, with video surfacing of intruders enjoying the palace swimming pool, much like the Jan. 6 "insurrectionists," in which Ashli Babbitt, an unarmed female "insurrectionist" climbed through a window and was shot and killed by a Capitol Police officer, with a questionable history regarding his use of his firearm.

Outside of the palace, other protesters ran from gunfire The Jerusalem Post reported .The gunfire was believed to be from the Iran-backed Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) firing to stop demonstrators dead in their tracks.

Iraq’s Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has reportedly been evacuated as a safety precaution.

As of this posting, some outlets are reporting that the U.S. Embassy is evacuating the building via helicopter, proving just how empty John Kirby's suit really is. Also, Reuters reports that thus far, 10 people have been killed and dozens injured in clashes, and various groups are throwing rocks at each other.

US Citizen In China prison to be executed after losing appeal

Shadeed Abdulmateen, an American citizen, faces execution in China after losing an appeal of a murder conviction. The defendant was accused of murdering his former girlfriend and the death sentence was announced in April.

Abdulmateen had taught English at Ningbo University of Technology, the South China Morning Post reported.

According to Reuters, after the trial by the High People's Court of Eastern China's Zhejiang Province Abdulmateen's appeal was rejected.

“The High People’s Court of Zhejiang Province … found that the facts found by the Ningbo Intermediate People’s Court were clear, the evidence was true and sufficient, the conviction was accurate, the sentence was appropriate and the trial procedure was lawful, so it made the above ruling,” CCTV reported.

Shadeed Abdul Mateen, an African-American who taught at Ningbo University of Technology in E.China’s Zhejiang, was sentenced to death for intentional homicide. He murdered a 21-year-old woman by cutting and stabbing her face and neck in 2021. https://t.co/XZA4BteLAe

— Global Times (@globaltimesnews)

The Supreme People’s Court will review the decision, which is largely a joke.

A U.S. Embassy spokesman said diplomats were “aware of a court decision related to a U.S. citizen.”

“We take seriously our responsibility to assist U.S. citizens abroad and are monitoring the situation,” the spokesman said. “Due to privacy considerations, we have no further comment.”

Abdulmateen had told the young woman, whose name was only given as Chen, [a very uncommon Chinese name] that he was divorced which was a lie.

The couple met in 2019 and soon became involved in a relationship. But China's Global Times explained that the situation between the two "spiraled out of control" after Chen wanted to end the affair.

“Starting in May 2021, Chen said several times that she wanted a break-up, but she was always refused and verbally threatened by the man,” the Global Times reported.

The court said that Abdulmateen met Chen at a bus stop in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province in June of last year. He then stabbed her in the face and neck with a "folding knife," the court ruled. He figured if he couldn't have her, no one else would.

Abdulmateen’s “premeditated revenge killing, stabbing and cutting Chen’s face and neck several times, resulting in Chen’s death, was motivated by vile motives, resolute intent and cruel means, and the circumstances of the crime were particularly bad and the consequences particularly serious, and should be punished according to law,” CCTV reported.

Bills release Matt Araiza after gang-rape accusations

The Buffalo Bills released punter Matt Araiza when a lawsuit was filed Thursday accusing him of gang-raping a minor.

Araiza, 22, is a rookie in the league and faces a civil lawsuit that was filed Thursday claiming that he and two of his San Diego State football teammates raped a 17-year-old girl. She claims to have been intoxicated to the point where she was slipping in and out of consciousness.

The incident reportedly took place last year at an off-campus party. 

The lawsuit also claimed the punter gave the victim a drink at a party that “not only contained alcohol, but other intoxicated substances.”

The Bills said the team knew of the allegations about the punter last month and had been looking into the matter.  According to the Athletic, the Bills “did not know” about the case when they picked Araiza in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft.

The "Punt God" as he is known as, said on Friday before being released the incident is not “what they are portrayed in the lawsuit or in the press,” [whatever that means].

Alexandria Occasionally-Comatose is losing it in the primaries

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Socialist-NY) is losing the luster she once had before people realized that she isn't merely a Marxist, but she's an airhead Marxist with virtually no understanding of economics , the Constitution, or how government works. 

AOC spends more time on Instagram than she spends in the district she is supposed to represent, and when Amazon planned to move a headquarters to her district in Queens, she was clearly opposed and the deal never went through. She facilitated the loss of thousands of high-paying jobs because of her Marxist ideology.

She and her so-called "Squad" of leftist allies will be nothing more than seat-fillers when they return to Congress next year. Their lusters have become a patina and their clout has been rendered impotent, according to a source telling the New York Post.

“The policies that The Squad stood for were never popular and the candidates who tried to mirror those policies are finding themselves out of Congress,” a senior Democratic Capitol Hill insider said. The source added that they believe the Squad will become a like "gadflies" in a Republican-controlled House in November.

These Squadettes cheered the defunding of the police after the George Floyd riots and as crime rose faster than Jeffrey Toobin's desk during a Zoom call, they suffered major blows.

Rep. Mondaire Jones who was an AOC fav, was the biggest loser for the left as he was redistricted from his home base in Westchester County to avoid infighting with Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, the boss of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. 

Jones decided to run a carpetbagger campaign in Manhattan and Brooklyn's Park Slope. He lost to Dan Goldman, a Levi Strauss heir who prosecuted President Trump during his first impeachment trial.

And in this race, Jones took away votes from state Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou--another Marxist hopeful whose campaign went down the bowl as she came up 1,300 votes short of winning.

Progressive Sen. Alessandra Biaggi, daughter of Mario Biaggi, was also knocked out by Maloney in their upstate district. She had been endorsed by AOC and it's becoming obvious that her endorsement has become the kiss of death.

Henry Cuellar (D-TX) — the only pro-life Democrat in the house — defeated Jessica Cisneros, another AOC-backed leftist.

Former Rep. Donna Edwards also went down to a landslide defeat against Glenn Ivey in Maryland. Ivey had been the preferred choice of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee — a progressive bête noire — which spent millions on the race.

DHS Disbands BS Free Speech Deciders Board

Okay, it's actually called the Free Speech Governance Board but like with all things leftist, whenever they label something, you can bet the opposite is the case--like the Inflation Reduction Act. 

Anyway, the Department of Homeland Security--an agency that refuses to go away since the original 911 attacks in 2001--has decided that the public is too wise to be fooled with anything the Left calls 'free speech,' especially when it's the Left who was slated to decide what speech was free and what needed to be censored.

The extraordinarily incompetent DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced that he's formerly terminating the Marxist-style department in a statement on Wednesday.

Mayorkas, who obviously pees sitting down, cited advice from the Homeland Security Advisory Commission in his decision to bring the board to an end.

“The Department welcomes the recommendations of the Homeland Security Advisory Council, which has concluded that countering disinformation that threatens the homeland, and providing the public with accurate information in response, is critical to fulfilling the Department’s missions.”

The only thing that currently threatens the homeland is the open border free-for-all this garbage administration is perpetuating. But if you think the DHS is concerned about closing the southern border, you're mistaken.

“We thank the Subcommittee for its work, which required extensive fact gathering and analysis over a short period of time,” the statement said.

Yes, it took an entire committee of progressive 'geniuses' to figure out that people are not going to stand for the censorship of their speech, although we haven't done much to assuage the situation on social media so far.

“In accordance with the HSAC’s prior recommendation, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas has terminated the Disinformation Governance Board and rescinded its charter effective today, Aug. 24, 2022.”

The Homeland Security Advisory Council released a report on Wednesday explaining why it decided to recommend the Disinformation Governance Board’s termination.

“The Department of Homeland Security does not have a broad remit to address all inaccurate information or disinformation, nor does it have the authority to silence or sanction anyone’s speech,” the council said.

It's nice to know that the DHS has finally removed their craniums from their nether regions.

However, these geniuses are recommending that relevant government agencies respond when they are targeted by alleged "disinformation." 

But they don't say who decides what's disinformation and what is truth. 

For example, if one says that there are only 2 sexes: male and female, and that chopping off one's body parts and using a person's skin tissue to look somewhat like genitals of the opposite sex does not change this fact, the woke police will call this disinformation, even though a child in kindergarten knows the answer to the questions: what is a woman and what is a man?

So this agency is gone but it's Marxism lingers on.

Ford Electric Mustang's Price Increases More Than Biden's Tax Credit: is anyone surprised?

Biden wants us to all give up our gas-driven cars and purchase EV cars instead. He is bribing the public up to $7,500 in a tax credit to anyone who buys an EV.

But his drunken sailor-in-a-whorehouse spending isn't matching the inflated costs of vehicle manufacturing, so the money he's handing out in tax credit is a joke. 

The price of the Ford Mustang Mach-E will increase up to 8,475 starting September due to the "significant material cost increases" and "evolving market conditions," the company said. Of course, the increases of materials is due to the Biden inflation, but Biden hopes you won't notice. [H/T Daily Wire]

The new price tag on the Mustang EV for the 2023 model will increase on Tuesday of next week, in response to the Democrats' Inflation Reduction Act, a massive climate spending bill that handed out tax credits to Americans willing to purchase certain EVs and will only increase, not decrease, inflation, as we are already seeing in this example.

“Ford is adjusting the MSRP on the Mustang Mach-E due to significant material cost increases, continued strain on key supply chains, and rapidly evolving market conditions, and will continue to monitor pricing across the model year,” the Michigan-based motor company explained.

The Mustang Mach-E 2022 models were priced between 44,000 and $62,000, but the 2023 makes of the EV will cost as high as $70,000 with the cheapest option being $47,000. Earlier this month, Ford also increased prices on its electric pickup truck, the F-150 Lightning, according to CNBC. Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, and GM have also raised prices on EVs this year, all for the same reasons.

Got inflation?

Prices of EVs have been increasing prices as electric battery costs shot up during the pandemic. Battery materials such as lithium, nickel and cobalt have become difficult to acquire, and China basically has a monopoly on cobalt and lithium production. Biden's supply chain issues have caused the cost of raw materials for EV production to double from March 2020 to May 2022.

According to the Department of Energy, the 2022 Ford Mach-E qualifies for Biden’s tax credit. The 2023 model, however, did not appear on the department’s list of EVs that qualified.

And if the goal of electric vehicles is to reduce carbon emissions and pollution, they are an abject failure. It takes fossil fuels to generate most electricity in the USA and the disposal of EV batteries causes significantly more ground pollution than a village of Democrats with private jets on their way to a climate summit.

DOJ Releases Heavily Redacted Affidavit for FBI Raid on Trump's Mar-A-Lago: FBI is "out of control"

The DOJ [aka Democrat's Office of Justice] released a heavily redacted copy of an affidavit that was the catalyst for an FBI search warrant executed on former U.S. President Donald Trump, in early August. This was the first time in U.S. history that a former President of the United States was served with a subpoena for any reason and in this case, for documents over which he has authority.

U.S. Magistrate Judge and Democrat Bruce Reinhart ordered the DOJ to submit a redacted version of the affidavit to the court earlier this week for release to the public. The copy was submitted Thursday and Reinhart reviewed it and ordered its release to the public by noon Friday.

Meanwhile, more whistleblowers are coming forward and revealing an "out of control" FBI that includes fake affidavits and fake cases, not to even mention what they did with the Hunter Biden laptop case.

It seems like the Bureau's management is "out of control" in offices across the country as more whistleblowers are coming forth and complaining about a culture of "corruption, cover-ups and retaliation" against agents who are exposing it in offices in Salt Lake City, Miami, Buffalo and Newark.

There are allegations that supervisors force agents to sign false affidavits, for example. Imagine how that is going to look when the Republicans take over the House [G_d willing] in terms of the Mar-A-Lago raid.

Agents have allegedly been forced to make up terrorism cases to inflate their performance statistics as well. But even worse than that, there are even allegations of sexual harassment and engagement in other sexual acts with a subordinate. One female agent even went with a sexual harassment complaint to the Director, Chris Wray, and she alleges that her complaint was ignored. The agency acts with a "mob-like mentality," she said.

“The FBI is completely out of control and its culture and structure needs to change. Not only is the political bias completely out of control and disgustingly obvious, the FBI knows they will not be held accountable for their illegal behavior and misconduct,” she said in a letter to Rep. Louie Gohmert, a Texas Republican on the Judiciary Committee.

Another whistleblower in the Buffalo office said FBI leadership is focused on case volume and some supervisors inflate numbers for terrorism, for example, to enhance their performance reviews.

So we know the FBI raid on Mar-A-Lago was politically motivated by the Biden administration. Biden lied that he didn't know about the raid until afterward, but he gave approval for it. Maybe he forgot; that's very possible in his mental state.

We also know the FBI lies on affidavits and their activities and that Judge Bruce Reinhart does not like Trump. 

Finally, we know the affidavit only tells one side of the story and it is not Trump's side.

White House still won't say who's going to pay the $500 billion student loan handout

Alleged President Joe Braindead

The Biden/Klain/Obama/Rice/AOC administration refuses to say how it plans to pay for the student loan debt that cancels $10,000 to $20,000 in loans students promised to pay back, but now they don't have to because somebody else will pay it for them. 

And just how that $500,000,000,000 [that's five-hundred-billion dollars, for all you Peruvian Pottery majors] will be paid is still a Democrat mystery. Will it be through higher taxes? Music festivals? 

Although the unconstitutional policy was announced this week, the administration refuses to discuss how the proposal will be paid for over time. Since the Democrats' plan calls for the future highest earners to be absolved of their responsibility and abide by the promise they made, it's a no-brainer that the taxpayer is going to carry the burden. They are probably going to be on the hook for most of the principal and interest on top of an already existing $31,000,000,000,000 U.S. debt.

When Fox News asked the White House how it plans to pay the student debt, they were mum, just as they were over the idea of future tax increases to help assuage the cost. And while administration officials refused to explain how added spending will be offset, they brag about the plunging deficit under our brain addled President.

"We actually achieved $350 billion in deficit reduction, and this year it's projected, by the end of the fiscal year, to be a $1.7 trillion deficit reduction," said the incompetent White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre at the White House briefing. 

And if you believe that an actual deficit reduction has been achieved, you probably also believe the ladies on "The View" are geniuses.

These officials also claim that the cost of the Biden handout cannot be totally accessed since we don't know how many loan borrowers will have the taxpayer foot the bill for them. It's also unclear as to how many would have paid back the full amount of their loans anyway, since their word on repayment is as good as the Democrats' word when they start a sentence with "All we ask for . . ." It is never all they want.

"All of this as when it comes to costs will also depend on how many of the loans canceled were actually expected to be repaid," said Jean-Pierre.

The National Taxpayers Union Foundation doesn't agree, however. In an analysis released this week, it estimated that if the student loan handout adds almost $330,000,000,000 to the deficit over the next ten years, as a budget model by former President Trump's former University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business asserts, the average cost for each taxpayer will be at least $2,085. This low-ball figure is a low estimate as the Committee for a Responsible Budget puts the cost of the handouts at between $440 billion and $600 billion. 

No such thing as "canceling" debt; it's reassigning debt to those who didn't 
agree to pay back the loan

And just like the estimate you got on the remodeling of your kitchen, the higher figure is more likely the closer one to reality.

Tax hikes is the most likely scenario for the future in order to make up for this loan forgiveness ploy to gain more Democrat votes and thus more power. The higher income brackets are definitely going to pay a lot more, but the middle class is also going to take a big financial hit.

Those of us who paid off our student loans are suckers. Those of us who never went to college and worked at a skilled labor job are suckers. Those of you who voted for these idiots in Washington are the biggest suckers.

The only people who will benefit from student loan "forgiveness" are the wealthiest earners in the population who could best be able to pay off the loan they applied for and agreed to pay.

The administration is using COVID-19 as the excuse for this ploy, so then why isn't the government helping small businesses and others that suffered most during forced COVID lockdowns, and have the students learn that their word is their bond?

Lightfoot's anti-gun hotline was a not-line and a failure

Chicago's Democratic Mayor Lori Lightfoot created an anti-gun tip hotline in July 2021. The purpose of the hotline was for people to turn in their neighbors, family and all others who are known to possess a firearm and they would get money for squealing. 

Lightfoot funded this hotline with one million taxpayer dollars in order for people “who have a conscience” to take a bite out of crime and get paid for turning people into law enforcement.

After just one year since the Orwellian program began, only a pittance of people provided tips that had been verified and thus rewarded with money. At this time, a tad over 0.01%, or $10,395 of the $1,000,000 was paid out to informants, according to the Chicago Tribune.

“I want you to know that I recognize that people are scared, people all over the city. This is the topic of conversation,” Lightfoot said. “Gun violence is holding us back from realizing our individual potential and our potential and greatness as a city.”

Her solution was to get rid of violent guns, because they don't have a conscience and will shoot anyone who gets in their way. Yes, this is leftist logic, if you believe they mean it.

Lightfoot’s handpicked police superintendent, David Brown, added, “This incentive will not only bring honest people forward because of that anonymity but likely will bring people who may be involved, who have a conscience,” the Chicago Sun-Times reported. 

Turns out Brown and Lightfoot don't know much about the human condition because the first tip to Lightfoot's "Gun Trafficking and Homicide Tip Line" took ten months to happen. In May 2022, the very first tip that resulted in an arrest and charge found the tipster being paid $10,000, according to WFLD.

According to the city’s infographic for the hotline, tipsters will be paid $3,000 if their tip leads to charges of someone buying or illegally selling ten or more guns, they will receive $5,000 if someone is convicted of the crime, they can get $10,000 for tips leading to a homicide charge, and they will be rewarded $15,000 if those charged with homicide are convicted.

It's like a game show that nobody's watching.

Despite the general failure of the tip line, Lightfoot has tried to make sell it to the public.

Arne Duncan, former Obama Education Secretary and possible candidate for the mayor’s office, blasted Lightfoot for her thoughtless attempts to fight crime.

“Strategies that aren’t thought out, that aren’t thoughtful, that aren’t implemented, that’s almost like the worst possible scenario. This stuff is really hard, it’s complex, but headlines and P.R. don’t keep people alive,” Duncan said, according to the Chicago Tribune. “The fact that this is literally a matter of life and death and the fact we are losing so many lives is untenable. This is the crisis facing our city.”

Maloney's sour grapes blames Democrats' "sexist systems and misogyny" as why she lost to Nadler

Maloney makes noises with her mouth while Nadler uses a different body part

She may be angry she lost the nomination, but she's correct as to why she lost to Jerry Nadler, the big guy Maloney said was senile.

Carolyn Maloney, the career House Democrat, was dumped in favor of another career House Democrat Jerrold Nadler. With the usual helping of grace and class we see with career politicians, Maloney blamed her loss on the “sexist systems and misogyny” and nailed it. The Democratic Party is the most sexist, misogynistic of the two major parties and they make it even worse with identity politics and hypocrisy. They attack all white men as being white supremacists, but they vote for white guys anyway. In fact, they vote for white guys with dementia, and you know the other white guy I'm talking about.

After Rep. Jerry Nadler cruised to victory over Rep. Carolyn Maloney in Tuesday’s contentious Democratic primary to represent New York’s 12th Congressional District — ousting his longtime colleague after three decades in office in the process — Maloney whined that she was the victim of “sexist systems and misogyny” as her supporters vented their wrath at her victorious opponent.

“I’m really sad that we no longer have a woman representing Manhattan in Congress,” Maloney told her teary-eyed boosters, later adding: “In Congress, it is that when women are at the table, great decisions get made.” 

Yes, decisions like allowing men who say they are women compete against women while the women decide to do nothing but complain later.

The longtime lawmaker also thanked great female New York leaders of the past like Shirley Chisholm and Geraldine Ferraro, who Maloney said “fought sexist systems and misogyny that continues today, as we know from my own campaign” — an obvious dig at Nadler who appears confused and in chronic need of a toilet.

The mood was even uglier about an hour earlier, as Nadler, appearing as happy as Kevin Spacey in Boys Town,  addressed his supporters on the Upper West Side. 

Maloney’s "classy" backers at her loser's party in Chelsea booed and jeered Nadler's televised speech, with some yelling “Traitor!” which made no sense. They are both Democrats and therefore they both suck at making good decisions.

Democrats being sexist and misogynist? 

Yes, it's true. Republican women should remind voters as the midterms approach of the Dem's misogyny, because they're going to see it when the Left starts attack ads going after GOP women, like they did with the “holy frijolx” attack on Latina Republican Mayra Flores. 

 However, the truth be told, Maloney has defeated men in the past in primaries [obviously] so her sour grapes are just whine. She initially won her seat in 1992 while Nadler was a special-election winner the same year for the late Ted Weiss.

Maloney is not owed that seat just because she is a woman with entitlement issues.

And Nadler's seat is 4X Large.

Hopefully the GOP will capitalize on Maloney's own words when they cut campaign ads in the coming days ahead of the midterms.

Reliable source leaks names of next to go on CNN hit list

Last Thursday was a tragic day in the history of our media. The sun turned to blood and there was gnashing of teeth and wailing among men of strength. People were out on the streets and in airports all across our great nation, feeling scared and luckless to the point that many refused to board the planes they were supposed to take because they felt their collective luck had run out. 

Just kidding. Brian Stelter was fired from the Compromised News Network (CNN) and the birds were singing, planes flew safely, and all was well in the world. But now that Spud Stelter is gone, what's next?

Well, reliable source Jon Nicosia believes that Stelter isn't going to be the last one out the door, according to Brodigan. [H/T Louder With Crowder]

Nicosia has a decent resume having worked for Mediaite, Independent Journal Review and the Washington Examiner and knows a thing or three and he has a source who leaked about Stelter when he left CNN's new president Chris Licht.

Nicosia's source could obviously be wrong, but he or she has earned the right to be heard, if not believed. And according to the reliable source, we might be bidding farewell to such leftists as John Berman, Jake Tapper, Don da' Lemon, John King, Alisyn Camerota and my personal favorite to get the boot, Jim "Dear Diary" Acosta.

Licht was brought aboard the CNN garbage barge to try to balance it slightly to the middle and decrease its vacuous suck. The network has been so crappy that it had to pay airports to air it in their waiting areas.

But will the dream come true? Will the network deep six the current crew and start fresh with people who are there to report the news with a lot less spin and a lot more factual information?

Democrats betray Manchin: can I get an LOL

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) went along with his party last month and got him to cave on the misnamed Inflation Reduction Act. This shocked many Republicans as well as a few Democrats, because he seemed to have been the voice of reason on the Left and we all thought he was going to vote against this ridiculous bill.

However, in July, Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and his substantial nostrils was joined by Manchin to announce support for the $740 billion fiscally irresponsible bill whose title is an oxymoron. This bill will not only not reduce inflation, it will likely increase it and it's actually about climate change and drunken sailor spending to deal with it. The bill will subsidize green energy programs, dramatically expand the army of the IRS, and raise taxes on the middle class while lying about it as they do it.

Manchin was promised by alleged President Joe Biden and other Democratic liars that they will facilitate the approval of a gas pipeline in West Virginia. In order to do that, they would have to pass legislation that would “overhaul the permitting process for energy infrastructure,” according to The American Prospect, a liberal website.

But as it turns out, House progressives don't want to support something that  “could undercut the IRA’s down payment on clean energy by accelerating approval for energy projects that could ramp up U.S. fossil fuel production and exports of natural gas,” The American Prospect reported. So Manchin is screwed, just like he did to the country.

House Democrats were reportedly angry that they didn't get called on to negotiate with Manchin, according to The Washington Times. 

Now they don't plan to honor the agreement and this hopefully will hurt Manchin with West Virginia voters.

In a statement to the Prospect, Michigan's Jew-hating POS Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib, wrote:

“Handshake deals made by others in closed rooms do not dictate how I vote, and we sure as hell don’t owe Joe Manchin anything now. He and his fossil fuel donors already got far too much in the IRA … and we will vote this dirty deal down, one way or another.”

What a woman of integrity, love and chutzpah.

Other Democrats joined in on the Manchin trashing.

California Rep. Jared Huffman said he refuses to be “steamrolled into a bunch of fossil fuel giveaways just because Manchin cut a deal in a closed room with Chuck Schumer,” the Times reported.

I think I may have just wet myself.

Alec Baldwin blames guess who for "Rust" shooting

It has been about ten months since Alec Baldwin pointed a loaded gun at Halyna Hutchins on the set of "Rust," pulled the trigger [he swears he didn't] and the gun went off and killed Hutchins and wounded another person positioned behind her. Somehow, Baldwin considers himself the victim, proving he's as much of a narcissistic schmuck as he appears to be in public.

In a Comedy News Network interview on Saturday, Baldwin again tried to convince the person who watches CNN that he didn't pull the trigger of the gun that he didn't check before pointing it at Hutchins on Oct. 21, 2021. He merely pulled the hammer of the weapon back and it discharged. 

He didn't check the gun. He is an idiot because he didn't check the gun.

The FBI did a forensic investigation of the gun and in a report obtained by USA Today concluded the gun could not have been fired “without a pull of the trigger.” And since he was the only person holding the gun, he was the only one who could have pulled the trigger and killed Hutchins.

Baldwin continued to insist he didn't pull the trigger of the loaded gun he aimed at Halyna Hutchins despite a ton of evidence that he was lying. He insisted that he wasn't responsible for Hutchins' death.

Hoping to get sympathy for the accidental killing of Hutchins, he said that since he is innocent, it's Trump supporters who questioned his innocence are magically guilty of shooting Halyna Hutchins.

“The former president of the United States said, ‘He probably shot her on purpose,'” Baldwin told CNN. “To me, that was really the only time I thought that I needed — that I was worried about what was going to happen.

“Because here was Trump, who instructed people to commit acts of violence, and he was pointing the finger at me and saying I was responsible for the death.”

Except that's a crock of bull.

In an interview on “The Chris Stigall Show” podcast on Nov. 4, 2021, Trump was asked about the shooting and said of Baldwin, “He’s a volatile guy.”

“As bad as it may have been kept, meaning, you know, the people that take care of the equipment and the guns and everything else — but even if it was loaded, and that’s a weird thing — maybe he loaded it,” Trump said.

“He’s a cuckoo-bird. He’s a nut-job. And usually, when there’s somebody like that, you know, in my opinion, he had something to do with it,” the former President correctly said.

“But if nothing else, how do you take a gun and just, whether it’s loaded or not loaded, how do you take a gun, point it at somebody that’s not even in the movie and just point it at this person and pull the trigger and now she’s dead?” former President Trump asked.

Second, Baldwin's suggestion that Trump “instructed people to commit acts of violence” had nothing to do about Baldwin but was likely referring to Jan. 6, 2021, which also was contrary to the facts. Trump never called for violence and in fact, told people to protest peacefully.

Baldwin was implying that Trump supporters would attempt to harm him or worse, after Trump said he was guilty. This is such a crap weasel assumption by the actor about half the nation and he said it with zero evidence.

Baldwin probably didn't mean to kill Hutchins but he pointed a real gun at her, assuming it was unloaded. He had to pull the trigger, whether he believes it or knows he did.

It's the not checking the gun, pointing it at a person, and pulling the trigger that makes Alec Baldwin come off as a narcissist and the jerk we all know he is.

Carjacking suspect receives his karma from the car he was carjacking

Chicago -- An [alleged] incompetent carjacking suspect painfully discovered the reason why we have a Second Amendment in the U.S. Constitution. He is now in critical condition after being shot by the owner of the vehicle he attempted to steal.

Police report that about 1:30 a.m. on Monday, a man sat in his car when a carjacker [allegedly] began firing his gun at him, as WBBM-TV reported. 

And then the [alleged] carjacker got the surprise of his life--possibly the last surprise of his life--when the 45-year-old owner of the vehicle began returning fire with his concealed carry licensed handgun. 

The incompetent carjacker also wasn't as accurate with a gun as the man he intended to shoot because he was shot in the chest and was taken to Loyola Hospital where he is listed in critical condition.

The intended victim was not injured and the incompetent carjacker's gun was found at the scene of the incident.

Police are still investigating the incident and view it as an attempted carjacking.

D.C. Mayor Bowser again calls for Nat'l Guard to help with illegal alien 'crisis' but Pentagon denies her

Texas is bussing future Democratic voters [aka illegal aliens] to "migrant sanctuary cities" such as New York and Washington, D.C. but now that the "migrants" have arrived, reality has set in. It was all fun and games when all you had to do was virtue-signal and declare your city a sanctuary city, because they were coming in from the southern border with Mexico and it didn't affect the eastern part of the nation. But now that Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) called their virtuous claims to be enacted, they are like Joe Biden sitting with the Pope and having to poop.

This is the second time that Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has requested the National Guard to assist with the thousands of illegal aliens [aka undocumented Democrats] being sent to her city only to have her request denied by the Pentagon. The first time she tried this was last month but was rejected on August 4th. She sent another request on August 11th, asking for 150 National Guard troops be deployed to "help prevent a prolonged humanitarian crisis in our nation's capital resulting from the daily arrival of migrants."

It is unknown if she promised the Pentagon that she would not have the troops sleeping on concrete floors in the city's parking garages like she did with the George Floyd protests.

Defense Department executive secretary Kelly Bulliner Holly wrote in a letter to Bowser on Monday that the DC National Guard is not trained to assist migrants and activation would lead to "diminished readiness" for the troops. 

And they don't sleep well on concrete.

"The DCNG has no specific experience in or training for this kind of mission or unique skills for providing facility management, feeding, sanitation, or ground support," Holly wrote in the letter and was reviewed by Fox News.

"Approval of this request would also result in a substantial readiness impact to the DCNG," Holly continued. "Devoting the personnel or the facility for such an extended mission would force the cancellation or disruption of military training."

About 7,000 migrants have been  bussed from Texas to Washington, D.C. since April and another 900 have arrived in New York City, according to Gov. Greg Abbott's office.

Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams is also having full-blown conniptions over the illegal aliens arriving at his sanctuary city.

"Before we began busing migrants to New York, it was just Texas and Arizona that bore the brunt of all the chaos and problems that come with it," Abbott said Friday. "Now, the rest of America can understand exactly what is going on."

Good. They deserve to get what they said they support.

Man murdered by criminal freed 8 days earlier--he broke his promise to the judge

If lawmakers were held accountable for their laws, and judges for their progressive judgments, the problem of violent recidivism would be almost nonexistent because the criminals would be in jail where they belong. But lawmakers and judges live away from most crime, often in protected communities and don't have to deal with the policies and legal procedures they create.

An innocent person was beaten to death by a scumbag who should have been in jail. But the scumbag was freed on bail 8 days earlier because the judge made him promise that he would be a good citizen and not commit anymore crimes. Pinky swear, cross his cold heart. This judge should not only be disbarred, he should be charge with the crime of blatant disregard for human life or perhaps depraved indifference to the welfare of the innocent people in society because he put a violent offender back out on the streets.

Aaron Fulk, [the 'l' is silent] the scumbag in question, obviously didn't care about a promise he made to Judge Philip Thornton, an idiotically progressive judge allowed him bail in spite of a violent history.

Fulk beat a 66-year-old man to death on the streets of Seattle. He beat the man with a metal pole and is currently being charged with first-degree murder with bail set at $2.5 million.

Fulk's original arrest 8 days ago was for felony harassment for threatening to kill a city worker. Prosecutors asked for $10,000 bail for this repeat offender with a history of being charged with assault, aggravated battery and attempted assault.

Thornton didn't care about Fulk's past and cut him loose on his own recognizance with the strict order: Do not commit any more crimes.

But he didn't listen. A man is dead because the judge released this POS.

Fulk didn't listen. And now a man is dead.

Seattle is one of the most progressive cities in the country where their progressives voted to defund the police in 2020. Seattle, a mainly white city, got rid of its black police chief for equity reasons and crime is climbing faster than inflation and has ever since that time.
