Fired! Kash Patel Delivers the Pink Slips to the Deep State Spies Who Stalked GOP Senators

Folks, if you thought the FBI's hall of shame under the Biden regime was bad—and let's be honest, it was a non-stop circus of politicized persecutions—this week's fireworks from Director Kash Patel should have every red-blooded American cheering. As Susie Moore laid out over at RedState on Monday, the bureau just dropped a dossier of dynamite: former Special Counsel Jack Smith and his merry band of partisan hacks were caught red-handed spying on a baker's dozen of Republican heavy-hitters in what they dubbed the "Arctic Frost" probe into January 6 and the 2020 election steal. We're talking phone taps on Sens. Lindsay Graham (SC), Marsha Blackburn (TN), Ron Johnson (WI), Josh Hawley (MO), Cynthia Lummis (WY), Bill Hagerty (TN), Dan Sullivan (AK), Tommy Tuberville (AL), and even Rep. Mike Kelly (PA) for good measure.

Patel, that no-nonsense warrior Trump tapped to drain the swamp at the FBI, didn't just file a complaint or issue a tsk-tsk memo. Instead, he swung the axe like it was personal. By Tuesday, the entire crew was shown the door, and he made it crystal clear: this is just the appetizer. The FBI has already terminated employees and abolished the CR-15 squad just one day after it was revealed that several Republicans' private communications and phone calls had been tracked. 

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Patel stated: "We are cleaning up a diseased temple three decades in the making, identifying the rot, removing those who weaponized law enforcement for political purposes and those who do not meet the standards of this mission while restoring integrity to the FBI. I promised reform, and I intend to deliver it." 

He followed up in a tweet that read like a declaration of war on the weaponized bureaucracy: "As a result of our latest disclosure about the baseless monitoring of members of Congress by the prior leadership team of the FBI, we have already taken the following actions: We terminated employees, we abolished the weaponized CR-15 squad, and we initiated an ongoing investigation with more accountability measures ahead."

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino piled on in the replies, hitting all the right notes: "We promised you transparency and accountability. We will continue to deliver on those promises. You deserve better."

Is this what we voted for? Damn right we did.

One of the targets, Missouri's firebrand Sen. Josh Hawley, wasn't exactly sending thank-you notes to the Obama-Biden holdovers. But Patel shot back with the kind of reassurance that makes you believe in justice again: "We’re ON IT."

Look, the systematic sabotage of our institutions by the Biden White House and that sanctimonious hack Merrick Garland wasn't just incompetence, it was a full-throated assault on the Republic, the kind of banana-republic thuggery that makes Nixon's Watergate plumbers look like choirboys. They wiretapped, doxxed, and dragged their enemies through the courts like it was a blood sport, all while lecturing us about "democracy." In my book, and I suspect yours too, it eclipses any scandal in the postwar era for sheer audacity and rot.

Thank heaven (and about 75 million voters) that Donald Trump is back in the Oval, with lieutenants like Patel enforcing the kind of accountability the left only dreams of imposing on everyone else. No more kid gloves; we're talking real consequences, swift and severe. And brother, it's arriving fashionably late—but right on time.

If you like Brain Flushings and want to Buy Me A Coffee, I would appreciate it, as it supports my work. Obviously, there is no pressure but I certainly wouldn't stop you.

GOP Senators buck the bipartisan border deal bill that favors a dementia patient's power to suspend it.

We all knew there had to be a catch if the Democrats were in on the bipartisan "emergency authority" border bill. After all, it was part of the Biden administration's national security request, and it grants President Biden's handler[s] to effectively nullify the law whenever they want. How many times is the GOP going to fall for this crap?

According to words in the bill, it gives Biden's handler[s] the power to direct the secretary of Homeland Security to "temporarily suspend" the border emergency authority on an emergency basis. So if Biden wants to keep the border open to allow future Democrats in, but incompetent Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas does, whoever has their hand up Biden to pull his strings can suspend the border for 45 days at a time.

And you freaking know they will! 

"Senate GOP leadership screwed this up—and screwed us. Even while refusing to let us see the bill they claimed to be negotiating on our behalf—for MONTHS—they were never in doubt, insisting we’d be dumb and even unpatriotic NOT to support it. This is a disqualifying betrayal," Sen. Mike Lee, (R-UT) posted to X.

The legislation will need a 60-vote threshold to pass, and Republican lawmakers asked leaders to give them more time to offer amendments. Senate Majority Leader Chuck "Nostrils" Schumer, (D-NY) said last week the Senate could begin voting on it as soon as Wednesday.

According to the bill, the secretary of Homeland Security is involved in the identity verification process of migrants crossing the border and must ensure the migrant's identity is checked against all appropriate records and databases. If a migrant attains asylum, they'll immediately be given a work visa.

"I’ve reviewed the bill, I don’t think it will solve our border crisis, and might make it worse. I will oppose it," Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), posted to X on Monday. "The bill gives Secretary Mayorkas the right—for the first time—to grant asylum claims (and thus American citizenship) to illegal aliens at the border without review by the immigration courts, which will be a massive pathway to rubber-stamping amnesty."

More Democrats; more power, forever and ever,

Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN), labeled the bill "another Ukraine aid package that weakly addresses Biden's border crisis."

"I will be a 'No' vote," he wrote on X.

Another lawmaker who oppose this nonsense bill is Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), who called it more like an "immigration bill, not a border security bill."

Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN), criticized another portion of the bill that "includes an eye-popping $1.4B for NGOs to resettle illegal aliens in your communities via airplane tickets and hotel rooms (nearly double the record amount from FY23), including $933M available immediately without conditions."

"This is more of our tax dollars being used to buy off Democrat sanctuary city mayors. This is the 'border security' Democrats really want," Hagerty said.

Other GOPers who oppose the bill so far include Sens. Josh Hawley, Tommy Tuberville, Ron Johnson, Marsha Blackburn, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and JD Vance.

Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, (R-KY), Chuck "Nostrils" Schumer, and lead negotiator Sen. James Lankford, (RINO-OK), hope to get the bill across the finish line.

The bill is bull.
