“Think of What They Could Do to You”
– Lara Trump, Fox News contributor and wife of Eric Trump.
Mrs. Trump has a point (and is stating the obvious).
If the FBI has become so emboldened that it will stage a surprise raid on a former president, what will it do to ordinary Americans?
The FBI was once the most respected law enforcement agency in the United States. A recent Rasmussen poll shows that a plurality of American voters disapprove of the FBI (47% – 46%). Many of the comments Rasmussen received in this poll referred to the FBI as Joe “Biden’s Gestapo.”
What happened? Not just the FBI, but the CIA and other intelligence groups were weaponized by Barack Obama and his Attorney General Eric Holder. Obama and the left realize they have a dishonest media firmly behind them so they don’t have any fear. As brain dead as Joe Biden is, he realizes the media is in his corner and will slant the “news” to make himself and the Democrats appear in the best possible light. They will suppress any negative that goes against its narrative (e.g., when a black man dies in police custody, it’s a lead story for weeks. When a black man kills a cop, as happened in Indiana last week, it gets buried).
FBI Director Christopher Wray demonstrated his disdain for Congress Friday when he said he had to catch a plane. Rather than a commercial flight, he was taking a luxury jet the FBI makes available to him for a personal vacation.
But the Department of Justice and the FBI are just the tip of the iceberg in the government’s attack on citizens who oppose the government’s tyranny. Congress just included 87,000 new IRS agents in a bill that proposes to combat inflation. Supposedly the 87,000 agents are going to go after multi-millionaires and billionaires who are dodging taxes, but who believes these 87,000 new agents won’t be going after low-hanging fruit (working class Americans and small business owners) and weaponized against conservatives in ways that would make Lois Learner proud.
Americans need to speak up. The GOP needs to make the Department of Justice and FBI’s overreach major campaign issues. If the GOP gains control of the House and Senate, it needs to replace Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy with real leaders who have the courage to end the rot and impeach Merrick Garland, Christopher Wray and Alejandro Mayorkas.
Are they really much different? Maybe we should get Garland and Wray spiffy uniforms.

When is the last time you heard anything positive about the FBI.
Today someone in the FBI is far more likely to die of a paper cut preparing a fraudulent FISA request than be killed by a criminal. Today’s FBI doesn’t pursue real criminals.
[2]
The FBI proved that yesterday.
[3]
“Today’s FBI doesn’t pursue real criminals.”
That depends on your definition of ‘criminal’.

Keep one eye on jobs … I still feel like that could crack.
GEICO selling policies ‘online only’ in California, lays off hundreds
GEICO has closed all of its 38 California agent offices that sell auto and homeowners policies and other lines and has also ended the practice of selling insurance through telephone agents in the state.
GEICO’s actions in California come as company commissioned Walk-In agents and phone sales remain open in other western states.

4,
GEICO must have had a massive motivation to get out. CA is a huge insurance market to just write off.

Tan up, learn spanish, wear a hoodie and you can shoot anyone you want. You won’t get charged and they won’t ask for the tax.
[15]
I can’t begin to describe how depressed and pissed I am over what they are doing to a former President.
I Fucking HATE Obama, but if Trump had raided Obama’s home, I would have been FURIOUS!
We are on the brink of Civil War and the ONLY thing that worries me more than us descending into Civil War , is the thought of us NOT descending into Civil War. Because THAT would mean no one gives enough of a shit to even TRY to salvage FREEDOM in America

Former Gov Cuomo criticizes Mar-a-Lago raid.
Of course, the Dems cut him loose after previously flirting with running him for Pres. So he may be harboring a quantity of resentment.
Do we hear ANY other Dems speak up?
[21]
JR 15 well said. I to am worried that the sheeple don’t care. Bread and circus.
[22]
new FBI hats…pretty spiffy, huh?
[23]
comment on Rantburg (where I still go sometimes):
Well to me the only question is will there be massive civil disobedience to the Federal government before the gunfire or not?
[24]
Background:
The little mountain community I live in has an HOA. Oddly enough, I am on the board of that HOA (gives me early warning of HOA-Insanity…a well documented disease 🙂 ). CCRs are “covenants, conditions and restrictions”, and every HOA has them, sometimes LOTS of them.
Recently one Board Member stated: “We should STRICTLY enforce ALL of the CCRs”. To which I replied: “ALL of them…to the LETTER of the CCR law?” “YES!”, he emphatically replied.
I then pulled up the CCR on “landscaping”, which states: “Any change in the landscaping of a property must be approved by the Architectural Committee”.
“THAT rule too?”, I asked. “Yes”, he replied again.
“OK, so I go to Home Depot and bring back ONE azalea plant, and plant it in my front yard, I have just changed the landscaping of my property. And I need to get APPROVAL, for that…right? The CCR does, after all, say “Any change to the landscaping””
He is still sputtering.
The point is that you can always “prosecute” anyone for something at any time…see: Mira Lago
[25]
Regarding the images with the post: Heinrich Himmler (head of the Gestapo) misused his power to persecute opponents of the Nazis. Merrick Garland is misusing his power to persecute the opponents of the Democrats. Garland hasn’t murdered anyone (that we know of) yet.
[26]
Trump batted 1.000 again last night, including a woman who unexpectedly beat a GOP state party favorite in Connecticut.
[27]
25, Ashli Babbitt and the other lady at the J6 protest come to mind.
“massive civil disobedience”.
Maybe, but I would cautiously guess “no”. How many people even showed up for the Stop The Steal protests that were nation wide? People have stuff to do, sending emails to Congress (useless) or demonstrating just is not part of the culture.
There’ll be an upswing in gun purchases.
There’ll be a rise in “Irish Democracy”, which I’ve seen defined as just ignoring gov’t rules. People know the gov’t is a powerful and determined enemy. People will not cooperate but they won’t be standing up in public denouncing oppression.
re: Tea Drinking
A new phrase LOL when you are talking about the vaxx.
Israeli prof gets his newest Boost, is physically injured, rethinks things. Posts a Tweet something like
“MonkeyPox cases were rare for years. In past years, a single case was documented in Israel. It is well established that tea affects the human immune system. A MonkeyPox outbreak after massive tea drinking is not a coincidence.”
Twitter made him take it down.

Now that we know the name of the Obama appointed judge who issued the warrent why doesn’t the right dox his address. Protest in his neighborhood and force Murky Garland to act.

JimNorCal #27 –
As much as I loathe Merrick Garland, he wasn’t AG on January 6,2021. But our government did murder Ashli Babbitt.
Garland was AG when the government whitewashed the Michael Byrd investigation.

One rumor is that Trump (as President) declassified documents that showed DoJ and FBI in a bad light but they were not released due to back-stabbing Bill Barr. Now the agencies are trying to quickly recover the docs (perhaps Biden reclassified them?) Photos show that some of the boxes contain … newspapers.
Going through Melania’s panties is just the FBIs sense of humor, I guess.
The guy who first posted this rumor is banned on Twitter. (Paul Sperry?)
What they were after were the docs that Trump, through Ratcliff, declassified, which reflected poorly on the FBI and DoJ but were never released (by Barr) due to the “ongoing Durham investigation.”

The July inflation mirage:

The only reason the inflation rate is down from June is because the
ObamaBiden Regime is depleting the nation’s fuel reserves to historic lows to reduce the inflation rate.[48]
1 – Here and there stories are out there …though usually cases that could have been brought by any state and feds weren’t really needed to get the perp or perps. The scales overall though are… fib juice ain’t worth the squeeze, perhaps (and it’s only a maybe) split off the nat-lab and shut the rest down, it’s been largely corrupt from the god damn jump, this thinking that it’s only gone-bad as a political animal or a world on to itself has existed basically since it’s formation. Formation by internal memo from an AG btw…not some act of congress, who even in it’s first couple years refused to fund it because they worried it would become the secret police…and they were correct.
4 – Geico and ca… Interesting, guess starting to be more headache and expense then it’s worth to maintain any physical operations, none of the articles I could find really say why, like is it ca reg headaches or just cost cutting in one of the most expensive states to operate in. They still have have 2.1 million policies in CA.
11 – yup…
11- Comey… and 100 others we could name in just the last 10 years.
12 – yup.
15 – Agree..
16 – Straight intimidation tactics, speak to DJT…get a visit, been that way already with mega donors and prior associates etc, they don’t care how it looks, because they want it known.
17 – Yup we’re beyond that point.
37 – Probably coming.
Also coming JustinFreezes™ to anyone bucking the ministry of truth… brought to you by those 87k new IRS employees. Bank on it… or more accurately try not to “bank” on it.
38 – /me nods
39/41 – It’ll be more complicated then that, but point taken, also need to get creative in thinking of ways of minimizing their the air-support, enemy has garrisons in red territory that need to be assumed to be hostile…sure there will be defectors, but assume it’s a much smaller amount then one might have though years ago.
43 – That’s next… first is some trumped up charge (That phrase already has direct meaning lol), then my guess is even thought constitution states potus requirements clearly, the msm will spin up on law that constitutionally can’t apply to potus or vp. However that doesn’t matter because my guess is the strat is then to have primary state AG’s and SOS’s and initially some friendly judges that they own, block him from ballot under the bs argument. Doesn’t matter if it’s bullshit and eventually fails, what matters to them is DJT having to waste money and bandwidth to litigate it, all the while the clock ticks, and knowing our fucking courts they all drag the feet…he prevails in the end, but it doesn’t matter the lawfare served it’s purpose in delay past primary date, with no recourse available. That’s what I think they are up too, mainly because outside of the primary\state-sos\state-ag part they’ve outright said it. Just like they detailed in 2017 how they would go about ‘resisting’ and engineering what they did in 2020… told us more or less what they were gonna do and then did it. Did it all go according to their plan at every step…hell no.. but they kept adapting faster than their target could.
45 – I can entirely believe that… it does fit with what transpired, and fits with why they refused to just call up and ask for what they wanted, and why they specifically waited till him and staff were up in tri-state area for awhile, and why they didn’t have CNN camped out for their arrival.
47 – Yeah the flat out lies in CPI, let alone WH messaging…fuck that why am I calling messaging, let alone the WH lies and the complete fucking cabbage patch morons they have delivering is beyond Baghdad Bob level, Bob at least had a sense of humor about it.
[49]
7 – Not really…I down voted even though it brought up some issues but skips over too many things just shit on china and others (who I’m not even fans of). IMF (us) and WB does the same sort of shit, the interest rates maybe are better, but they do the same shit with all the forced strings that come with taking the loans. Also totallys skipped over the part where the US insisted Khan be voted out when it wouldn’t have happened otherwise, and nearly didn’t actually without last minute threats to members from Blinken and clownworld crew.

I was listening to a show on China and Taiwan.
They mentioned ballistic missiles being fired over Taiwan, landing in the sea on the other side.
I’ve heard of that.
They mentioned China naval ships surrounding Taiwan right around to the east side.
Heard that too.
They claimed China had an air blockade. Planes, military or civilian, were (are?) not allowed to come to Taiwan, not allowed to land.
That appears to be exaggeration but partially true nonetheless.

Why a Blockade of Taiwan Would be Disastrous for China
Aug 7
Commercial flights were also interrupted by China’s military exercise. Korean Air, Singapore Airlines and Asiana Airlines suspended flights to Taipei, while other airlines, such as Japan Airlines and Cathay Pacific, said they were avoiding the designated zones. Airlines are accustomed to diverting around warzones and military exercises; however, any blockade of Taiwan’s airspace would have profound economic effects.
A large share of Taiwan’s exports is carried by air freight rather than by sea.

“Why a Blockade of Taiwan Would be Disastrous for China”
—
Dumbest title I’ve seen in awhile.
” They know that after November their current antics won’t play in Peoria.”
—
They don’t play now, they don’t care, cause untouchable now, and untouchable after November because “it’s not who we are club” of which ~90% will be re-elected, in fact if it was only ~85% it would be historic, and yet still change nothing.
