Ted Cruz's Impeachment Wish Comes True: Rep. Brandon Gill Drops the Hammer on Judge Boasberg, the Deep State's Favorite Gavel-Wielding Enforcer

Oh, the sweet sound of accountability echoing through the marble halls of Congress, like a liberal's safe space suddenly discovering the concept of consequences. Judge James Boasberg, that judicial snowflake who's been melting under scrutiny, is now officially on thin ice thicker than a Biden family business deal. As my sharp-eyed colleague Katie Jerkovich laid out last Friday, Republican Rep. Byron Donalds (FL-19) spilled the beans on Fox News' The Ingraham Angle, hinting that his Texas colleague, Rep. Brandon Gill (TX-26) was gearing up to serve Judge Boasberg a piping hot platter of impeachment articles. 

The reason for the impeachment is due to Boasberg playing activist ringmaster in the circus that was the Trump probe, green-lighting subpoenas that snagged phone records from nine U.S. Senators like they were low-hanging fruit of a loom. And leading the charge was none other than Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), one of the subpoenaed senators, who'd been hollering for Boasberg's robe to get yanked faster than Adam Schiff can spout a lie.

Well, wishes do come true when you're not wishing on a star but on a filibuster. The House finally delivered the goods on Tuesday, with Gill introducing the Articles of Impeachment against Boasberg. 

"I just filed Articles of Impeachment against radical activist Judge James Boasberg," Gill announced with hidden glee.

"Judge Boasberg abused his power by weaponizing the judiciary against critics of the Biden Administration. As part of the Arctic Frost Investigation, Judge Boasberg signed off on frivolous nondisclosure orders to conceal the fact that sitting US Senators were being surveilled.

"Not only was this action egregiously improper; it was a gross violation of the separation of powers.

"Judge Boasberg is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors, is unfit for office, and should be impeached."

In a follow-up chat that could double as a masterclass in calling out judicial malpractice, Gill didn't mince words: Boasberg had "compromised the impartiality of the judiciary." Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX), is formally introducing impeachment articles against U.S. District Judge James Boasberg on Tuesday for his role in the "Arctic Frost" probe.

Republican allies of President Donald Trump have been criticizing Boasberg after news broke that he was the judge who signed off on subpoenas and other measures in former Special Counsel Jack Smith's probe.

"Chief Judge Boasberg has compromised the impartiality of the judiciary and created a constitutional crisis. He is shamelessly weaponizing his power against his political opponents, including Republican members of Congress who are faithfully serving the American people within their jurisdiction," Gill told Fox News Digital.

"Judge Boasberg was an accomplice in the egregious Arctic Frost scandal where he equipped the Biden DOJ to spy on Republican senators. His lack of integrity makes him clearly unfit for the gavel. I am proud to once again introduce articles of impeachment against Judge Boasberg to hold him accountable for his high crimes and misdemeanors."

It's not just Lone Star firebrands lighting this fuse. Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), whose phone records got the full Snowden treatment in this mess, teamed up with Republican House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (OH-4) on Fox Business' Larry Kudlow show. She confirmed she had tapped Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) to drag Boasberg before the committee for a testify-or-fry session. Because nothing says "transparency" like hauling a judge in to explain why he thought spying on senators was just another Tuesday.

Gill's resolution lays it out in black-and-white legalese that's about as subtle as a sledgehammer to a piñata: one count of abuse of power, per the text we scooped first at Fox News Digital. "Ignoring his responsibility to wield the power of his office in a constitutional manner, Chief Judge Boasberg granted Special Counsel John L. Smith authorization to issue frivolous nondisclosure orders in furtherance of the Federal Bureau of Investigation project codenamed ARCTIC FROST," the text said.

"These nondisclosure orders covered Members of Congress who were acting in accord with their legislative duties and privileges guaranteed by Article 1, Section 6, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution."

Look, impeaching federal judges isn't like giving out a traffic ticket. It's rarer than an honest politician's memoir. Since 1803, we've only seen 15 such spectacles in U.S. history, with a measly eight ending in Senate convictions. 

The usual suspects? "Making false statements, favoritism toward litigants or special appointees, intoxication on the bench, and abuse of the contempt power." If rubber-stamping Deep State dirt on lawmakers doesn't qualify as the judicial equivalent of drunk-driving a gavel, I don't know what does. Buckle up, Boasberg; the bench might be getting a vacancy notice.

Wouldn't it be lovely?

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.

FBI arrests suspect who threatened to assassinate Sen. Marsha Blackburn

The FBI finally decided to grace us with some action, arresting a 22-year-old Tennessee nutcase for threatening to turn Senator Marsha Blackburn into a cautionary tale. 

Penelope Convertino, who apparently thought leaving a voicemail promising to shoot the senator and “blow up her head on national TV” was a fun way to spend a May afternoon, now faces charges for trying to scare the bejesus out of a federal official. The Justice Department’s not laughing, and neither am I.

Convertino’s unhinged rant included gems like, “My name is mother**ker and I’m gonna kill Marsha Blackburn. I’m gonna shoot her with a gun. I’m gonna blow up her head on national TV,” and, well, you get the picture—a real class act. If convicted, she’s looking at up to 10 years in the slammer and a $250,000 fine. Bet she’s regretting that voicemail now.

Blackburn, who’s gunning for Tennessee’s governor seat, took it in stride. “Threats against the life of any public official are unacceptable and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent,” she told WKRN. “I am grateful to law enforcement and federal prosecutors in the Middle District of Tennessee for taking this threat seriously and for their swift action. My focus remains on serving the people of Tennessee, and I will not be intimidated or deterred by those who seek to silence me.” Gotta hand it to her—she’s got more spine than the average politician.

But here’s where it gets spicy: Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) isn’t exactly throwing confetti over the FBI’s response time. “Someone threatens [Blackburn’s] life and it takes the [FBI] 3 months to arrest the dirtbag?! That’s a problem,” he posted on X. 

Sounds like the FBI’s moving at Biden-administration speed. Meanwhile, Convertino’s facing serious time, and Blackburn’s still in the fight, squaring off against Rep. John Rose in the 2026 GOP gubernatorial primary. Just another day in the Volunteer State, right?

Top Dems Pelosi, AOC and others, claim ignorance on alleged Nike Youth Transgender Athlete study

Well, well, well, here's Nike tripping over its own swoosh. About a month ago, OutKick dropped the bombshell that the sportswear behemoth allegedly bankrolled a study on “transgender” youth athletes—yep, kids, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, the whole nine yards. Since then? Crickets from Nike. Not a peep, not a press release, nada. You’d think a company that loves plastering “Just Do It” on everything would at least say something.

 
But Nike’s not the only one playing mute. The Democrats, those champions of “progress,” have also zipped their lips tighter than a pair of skinny jeans. When OutKick first broke the story, GOP heavyweights like Ted Cruz, Marsha Blackburn, and Tommy Tuberville didn’t hold back, roasting Nike for allegedly funding experiments on minors. But the Dems? OutKick reached out to the usual suspects—Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), and California’s golden boy Gov. Gavin Newsom—and got nothing. Zilch. It’s like they saw our emails and hit “delete” faster than you can say “woke.”

So, OutKick said, “Fine, we’ll do it the hard way.” We packed our bags and headed to the swamp—er, Washington, D.C.—to ask these Dems face-to-face about Nike’s sketchy study. Spoiler alert: they didn’t exactly roll out the red carpet.

They tracked down Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), AOC, Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Sarah McBride (D-DE), and Crockett. Let’s just say their responses were less “open dialogue” and more “run for the hills.” Pelosi, ever the master of evasion, claimed she “didn’t understand what [we] said.” Instead of, you know, asking for clarification like a normal human, she scurried off to some media-free zone like a kid dodging homework.
Jasmine Crockett? She wouldn’t even let them get a question out. Just a hard “nope” and she was gone.

 
Sarah McBride, the Dem who thinks he's a woman, gave the ol’ “running late” excuse after an aide chimed in with “we have to go back to the office.” McBride tossed in an “I’m sorry” as they bolted, but it felt about as genuine as a prostitute's climax.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries heard the question loud and clear but played dumb, saying he was “unfamiliar” with the Nike study. Unfamiliar? Sure, Hakeem. And I’m “unfamiliar” with pizza. Rather than ask what the deal was, he hightailed it to a restricted area faster than you can say “cover-up.”

Then there’s AOC, the queen of performative progressivism. OutKick caught her after an Energy & Commerce Committee meeting, patiently waiting while she snapped selfies with adoring fans in the hallway. When we finally got a chance to ask about the Nike study, she hit them with, “I haven’t heard anything about that and I don’t want to comment on anything I don’t have any background on.” Translation: “I’m not touching that with a ten-foot pole.”

They pushed a little further, asking her thoughts on biological males competing in women’s sports. Her response? “I’m on my way to vote.” Oh, how convenient. Funny how she had plenty of time to pose for pics but couldn’t spare ten seconds to answer a real question. Priorities, right?

While these Dems dodged harder than a linebacker avoiding a tackle, their offices screamed their allegiances loud and clear. Strolling through the Capitol, OutKick couldn’t help but notice the decor. GOP Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) had a giant Trump photo front and center, a nod to the assassination attempt in Pennsylvania last year. Nancy Mace (R-SC) rocked a banner touting her fight to protect women. Meanwhile, Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) flew her pro-Israel flag high.

 
But the Dems? Oh, they were all-in on the rainbow. Transgender flags were proudly displayed outside the offices of AOC, Pelosi, and Ilhan Omar (D-MN). AOC and Omar’s doors were also covered in post-it notes—probably from their fan club—gushing with gems like “Keep being you,” “Thank you for everything,” and “Don’t stop fighting.” Fighting for what, exactly? Apparently not for answering questions about kids and medical experiment.

Trump demands FBI retain all DEI records from the closed office

President-elect [but not for long] Donald Trump demanded on Thursday evening that the FBI keep all records from the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) office that was shut down last month.

The FBI quietly closed its Office of Diversity and Inclusion last month, just before Trump’s inauguration. This happened because Trump has promised to reduce DEI efforts in the federal government, similar to what many companies have done in the last year.

“We demand that the FBI preserve and retain all records, documents, and information on the now closing DEI Office—Never should have been opened and, if it was, should have closed long ago,” Trump wrote on social media. “Why is it that they’re closing one day before the Inauguration of a new Administration? The reason is, CORRUPTION!”

The FBI stated that the office was closed last month but didn't explain why.

Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) criticized the FBI's DEI focus recently, saying it prioritizes the wrong things. “I am deeply concerned that—under your leadership—the Bureau has prioritized Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives over its core mission of protecting the American people,” Blackburn wrote in a letter this month.

Former FBI special agent Nicole Parker criticized the FBI's focus on social justice, stating, “constant push for social justice weaponization at the FBI whose top priorities are to protect the American people and uphold the constitution.”

The FBI still mentions the Office of Diversity and Inclusion on its website, stating its mission is to “provide guidance and implement programs that promote a diverse and inclusive workplace that allows all employees to succeed and advance.”

“The FBI’s efforts to diversify are crucial to creating an inclusive workforce and to being increasingly effective and efficient in our investigations and keeping the American public safe,” said Scott McMillion, the FBI’s first Chief Diversity Officer, on the site.

The website also promotes joining employee resource groups which, according to The Daily Wire, are used to push left-wing agendas. It's not clear if these groups will continue now that the DEI office is closed.

Despite this closure, many federal agencies continue to push DEI agendas, with around 500 actions taken under the Biden administration to promote diversity. Once Trump is inaugurated, he and his team will have the chance to remove these "woke" officials and dismantle the DEI initiatives in government and the military.

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.

Trump impeachment witness Alexander Vindman allegedly profited off Ukraine war with contracts

Retired Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who is famous for testifying during the first impeachment proceedings of President Donald J. Trump, and whose favorite military leader is Rear Admiral Rachel Levine, is now being accused of attempting to profit off the war in Ukraine. It's believed that he [?] was trying to pitch lucrative defense contracts through his private company. [H/T Fox News Digital]

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) in a statement to Fox News Digital accused the androgynous Vindman of trying to personally profit from his attacks against Trump and his reported dealings in Ukraine. You may recall that Blackburn was one of Vindman's toughest critics because he is, after all, an embarrassment to the uniform.

"When conservatives speak the truth, the mainstream media panics and desperately attempts to provide cover for the left. They did this for Alexander Vindman, just like they did for Hunter Biden, Dr. Fauci and teachers unions," Blackburn said, referencing liberal media outlets' staunch defense of Vindman throughout his time as a witness during the investigation.

"Alexander Vindman has always been a political activist and opportunist masquerading behind his career. He saw an opening for personal fame and profited by exploiting the media’s outrage against President Trump," she said.

"Vindman has spent the last three years on MSNBC and CNN attacking Republicans. Now, new revelations suggest Vindman could be profiting off the war in Ukraine, just as he did by speaking out against the Trump administration," Blackburn added.

Vindman has been pitching the government of Ukraine to obtain defense contracts through Trident International LLC, of which he is the CEO, according to a report by Human Events. 

Speaking with Fox News Digital, Vindman responded to the accusations by blasting Blackburn, accusing her of lying and contributing to him ultimately leaving the military.

"Ooh, Blackburn. She’s an idiot, an agent of chaos promoting disinformation. She has never said one true thing about me. Her attacks in 2019/20 contributed to an environment that made it impossible for me to continue my nonpartisan military service," Vindman whined. 

"More importantly, it’s the politicization of Ukraine, by the fringe right, that brought about this war, imperiling Ukraine, Europe, and most importantly the U.S.," the former relevant Vindman added.

The report stated that last year, Vindman, who was born in Ukraine, pitched a project worth $12 million that his company said would address the country's problems with managing the readiness, repair and maintenance of its weapons systems by developing a center within the country to essentially operate as a middle-man between NATO and the Ukrainian military.

It's unclear, however, if the project has been approved as the report stated court documents showed there was an ongoing dispute over payments related to the project.

Biden judicial nominee made disgusting request on child rape case: Ted Cruz reads his words

So called President Joe Biden's judicial nominee may have thought his past does not count and would never come back to haunt him, but he would be mistaken.

During his confirmation hearing in the Senate on Wednesday, a sick incident in which he starred earlier his career was brought up and he came off looking like a scumcrumpet.

Michael Delaney was nominated for a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. And because he was nominated by a cognitively-impaired POTUS, the GOP members did their homework and grilled him over the coals, particularly over a prestigious New Hampshire private school case that Delaney represented in 2015. 

Specifically, the case involved then 15-year-old Chessy Prout, who was raped by a male student at St. Paul's School. Delaney represented the civil case that followed the criminal case and, according to Bloomberg Law, he, on behalf of the school, tried his level best to strip Prout of her anonymity during the proceedings, which appears to have involved intimidation of the child.

Republicans grilled Delaney for what the family of the girl said were his intimidation tactics to shut her up in order to protect the school's now tarnished reputation.

Utah Sen. Mike Lee said that such a move was unprecedented in legal proceedings. “I’m not aware of any courtroom in America … where the victim wouldn’t be allowed freely to choose to protect her anonymity.”

GOP Sen. Marsha Blackburn (TN) expressed total shock and horror that Delaney would be willing to defend the school, while refusing to ensure that the victim’s right to anonymity was protected. You can do both if you are ethical.

“I was taken aback that you would’ve thought a minor child who had been sexually assaulted did not deserve protection,” she said. “I think it is chilling the message this sends to young women.” She added that such action disqualified him from serving on the bench.

Missouri’s GOP Sen. Josh Hawley, agreed, “I’m astounded that you’ve been nominated … People who put sexual assault victims through this kind of torture — shouldn’t sit on the bench.”

However, it was Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz who did what LibsofTikTok does, he just fed back the words of a letter Delaney wrote requesting that the child have her anonymity stripped.

But the most damning indictment of the judge came from Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz, who read word-for-word from the letter that Delaney composed requesting that Prout have her anonymity stripped. 

Cruz said that the girl was victimized on three separate occasions: when she was raped; second when she was stripped of her anonymity; and third when Delaney was nominated by Biden.

It’s eye-opening to watch @SenTedCruz fully excoriate Michael Delaney for his past “victim intimidation tactics.”

“There’s a reason why almost virtually every Democrat has skipped this hearing — they’re embarrassed about this nomination.” pic.twitter.com/sJhdQcDkgg

Delaney definitely sucks by all measures. This revelation is disgusting and it also shows how the Biden administration didn't do their own oppositional research on this guy, and if they did, how arrogant they would have to be to think the GOP would let this slide.

In no way should this guy be allowed to be confirmed.

AG. Garland misses deadline to give Senate info on basis for school board memo

Imagine, this guy could have been a Supreme Court Justice. Thanks Mitch.

Attorney General Merrick Garland, perhaps the worst AG ever to be in office, told Senate members of the Judiciary Committee last week that the Department of Justice would provide information regarding the DOJ's intervention in matters explaining their actions and words directed toward school board officials. The promise was to be completed by November 1, but so far they failed to provide the committee with the information. It may be due to Garland's incompetence as AG, but it's more likely due to the absence of additional information.

On the day that Garland testified, a letter was sent by eight GOP committee members addressed to Garland and calling for any information that acted as a catalyst for the memo other than the letter the National School Board Association sent to the Biden administration calling for federal action to their baseless claim, as we now know it to be. Garland agreed that the letter had a big effect on the DOJ's decision, but he pretended there was more that influenced his decision and that the letter wasn't the only basis for the memo.

Garland said that the incidents cited in the NSBA letter did not provide the basis for the memo. He claimed that other evidence including "public reports of violence and threats of violence" informed his decision-making, but he did not specify which ones.

"Pursuant to this commitment," the GOP members' letter said, citing Garland's agreement to turn over information, "please provide all evidence you personally used or relied on between Wednesday, September 29, 2021, and Monday, October 4, 2021 – other than the content of the NSBA letter dated Wednesday, September 29, 2021 – that formed the basis for the memo issued by the DOJ dated Monday, October 4th that addressed '…harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff," the letter requested.

"Because you were able to distill your evidence and craft a memo that fixed the gaze of the FBI directly on concerned parents across this country in just four days, you should be able to share that evidence with us in the same period of time," the letter said.

The request was signed by Sens. Ben Sasse, (R-NE), Charles Grassley, (R-IA), Mike Lee, (R-UT), Tom Cotton, (R-AR) Thom Tillis, (R-NC) Lindsey Graham, (R-SC), Marsha Blackburn, (R-TN), and John Kennedy, (R-LA).

The senators said they specifically chose November 1 as the deadline because it was exactly five days after the hearing. There should have been no problem, no time constraint on Garland's DOJ to gather the information the committee members requested.

But they either failed, or refused to do so.

Parents not wanting their children being taught that the are bad because of their skin color and arguing with the scumcrumpets on the school boards is not violence and the parents are not terrorists.

Blackburn wins in Tenn. Senate race: beats Tayolor Swift's candidate

U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) beat the daylights out of Democratic Gov. Phil Bredesen in a closely watched Senate race Tuesday, in spite of yet another star entertainer having no effect on the outcome as people still vote their own mind. The GOP now has a generous majority while losing control of the House.

This race made headlines in the entertainment world last month after incredibly famous and talented pretty little Miss Taylor Swift went out to motivate young Tennessee voters to tip the results in favor of the Democrats because famous entertainers are only allowed to vote for that party or be blackballed from the industry because Democrats are just so gosh darn tolerant.

So the "Taylor Swift effect" was as effective for the Democrats as a bandaid is to stem the bleeding of a sucking chest wound.

As I write this, fully 99 percent of the precincts have reported. Blackburn captured 55 percent of the vote while Bredesen got merely 43 percent.

Blackburn had trailed Bredesen in the polls throughout the entire summer, but slowly closed the gap and eventually took the lead last month after aligning herself with President Trump. She will replace Bob Corker and become the first female U.S. senator from the great state of Tennessee.

This race received a lot of outside money as Democrats thought there would be a path to retaking the Senate majority, which they did not. Had Bredesen won, he would have been the first Democrat elected to the senate from his state since the inventor of the internet and expert on global warming, Al Gore, won in 1990.

Teaching Islam covertly in Tennessee

Parents, Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and state lawmakers have serious concerns about the way Islam is being taught in social studies courses in their middle schools.

To fight this so-called Islamophobia, dozens of school districts hired an attorney to create a form letter that keeps the information about Islam from the parents and legislators of the state. "Because the more you know, the more Islamophobic you become," in my opinion.

After all, these "educators" believe there's nothing wrong with demanding kids memorize the five pillars of Islam. And what terrible thing can happen to these Christian kids if they write 'Allah is the only God'?

One parent claimed that over 20 pages of her child's social studies textbook is devoted to the study of Islam. 

Just because that translates into three weeks of classroom study on Islam and is longer in duration than the study on Christianity, is no reason to get upset. We already get lots of Christian teaching at home, right? Now it's Islam's turn.

Laura Jones, a parent of one student said, "In all of the homework my children have ever brought home, I have never seen the level of detail about other religions. I was completely speechless."

Congresswoman Blackburn agrees. "There's a big difference between education and indoctrination," she said in a statement. "It is reprehensible that our school system has exhibited this double-standard more concerned with teaching the practices of Islam than the history of Christianity. Tennessee parents have a right to be outraged and I stand by them in this fight."

Other Republicans are similarly outraged. State Rep. Andrew Holt called for an immediate review of the amount of time being spent on Islam. He blogged: "Tennesseans have seen the radical side of Islam, and many have grown skeptical of this peaceful religion."

Peaceful religion?

The only time Islam is peaceful in the world is when they are in the minority or when they run out of ammunition.

Call me Islamophobic, but a phobia is an irrational fear.

Holt went on to say, "This teaching also occurs while Tennessee students are simultaneously being told they cannot fly American flags and are being discouraged from praying while at school. Many of our children are not being taught the Ten Commandments in school, but instead the Five Pillars of Islam and the 'Prophet Muhammad as a sovereign of Jesus Christ."

I don't believe any religious study be taught in school except for its historical significance. Religion is for home and church (or mosque) but not school.

Paul Galloway, the executive director of the American Center for Outreach, told USA Today that Rep. Blackburn and the parents of these kids don't understand that simply repeating the tenets of Islam won't turn them into Muslims. 

Galloway also said that the word "Allah" in Arabic means "God."

"So, Christians who speak Arabic use the word Allah to talk about God all the time," he said. "There is a basic level of misunderstanding driving this fear and outrage."
