[GP] House Oversight Chairman James Comer on Thursday said he expects to uncover $20-$30 million in illicit payments made to the Biden Crime Family.
"If this is all true about a sitting president — when he was vice president — influence peddling, accepting money from foreign nationals so that he could turn around and make changes in policy for America so he could pocket the money. If that’s true, why isn’t he impeached already?" Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo asked Comer. "And if it’s true that the FBI is doing nothing about it, why isn’t [FBI Director] Christopher Wray on his heels as well?"
Comer described the FBI as "an organization in disarray."
"This is going to be hard to Biden to explain, this is not going to go away, and I think eventually the mainstream media is going to start asking the real questions," Comer said.

How does Comer plan to isolate the $10M from the rest of the bribery payments rolling in? I think he is being overconfident.

Biden will have to give a full statement addressing the subject
No, he won't. All his minions will have to say is "Abortion abortion abortion Trump is icky abortion abortion abortion." That is all we're going to hear for the next year and a half.

The poll shows 90% of the pubs think he is in trouble, but 66% of the Dems think he's as pure as the driven snow.
It'll take a while to change those numbers.

The problem's not so much the dems who don't think he did anything wrong, it's the ones who don't care even if he did. That cohort, of course wouldn't see it that way for a Republican.

Some leftist groups beat around the bush about what they stand for and what they do.
Not ‘Climate Defiance’ which is running a fundraiser to ‘Make Complicit Climate Cowards’ Lives F____g Miserable’.
The ecoterrorist group which boasts of having “fully shut down Joe Manchin’s keynote” and “made pipeline lover Amy Klobuchar flee the stage at her own book launch party” is also pretty clear about what donors can buy by funding the environmentalist group.
For $100, you get “photography for one direct action” while $1,000 buys you a “whole keynote speech shutdown, soup-to-nuts”.
Funding for this illegal activity is being processed by Stripe and PayPal. Both companies have a history of suspending conservatives, but have no objection to allowing leftists to directly subsidize harassment of elected officials. When contacted for a comment, they did not reply.
But Climate Defiance’s operations also share a funding platform with the DNC.
Climate Defiance announced its fundraiser for a “a bold action to blockade the White House Correspondents Dinner on April 29th to call attention to President Biden’s failed campaign promise to stop drilling on Federal Lands” on the Action Network.
That same month, Declare Emergency, another eco terrorist group, made headlines by vandalizing Degas’ Little Dancer sculpture case at the National Gallery of Art. Even though the two perpetrators were indicted by a federal grand jury, no action was taken against the group despite its flyers being left at the scene and Declare Emergency urging others to follow suit.
Declare Emergency has retained its 501(c)(4) status despite this criminal activity. Tax code regulations clearly state that illegal and criminal activity voids any such status, but as the David Horowitz Freedom Center’s IRS investigations have shown, leftist eco-terrorists, actual terrorists and pedophiles have been able to retrain C3 and C4 status no matter what their crimes are.
The eco terrorist group linked to the Degas attack, like Climate Defiance, fundraises through Action Network. And they are not alone. Freedom Center investigations have shown that Black Lives Matter, the Women’s March, the DSA and Communist Party USA and Antifa all fundraise through the Action Network. As does the Democratic National Committee.
The Action Network, like Climate Defiance and Declare Emergency, is a 501(c)(4) and it shows the entanglement of the Democrat establishment with the far Left even when its extremists are targeting Senate Democrats and the White House for not adopting their full radical agenda.
The eco terrorists aren’t just funneling money through 501(c)(4)s, but have received funding from an actual 501(c)(3) organization that has to meet the gold standard of charitable activities.
Eco-terrorism and any kind of illegal actions are very definitely not on the list.
Climate Defiance, currently crowdsourcing the harassment of elected officials, received a grant from the Climate Emergency Fund. The Climate Emergency Fund is a 501(c)(3) backed by, among others, Aileen Getty, a Getty Oil heiress, Rory Kennedy, the daughter of the deceased senator, and leftist director Adam McKay.

[MAIL] A high-ranking Space Force officer has spoken out slamming a slew of recent anti-LGBTQ state laws, saying they have a negative impact on military families and force readiness.
Lt. Gen. DeAnna Burt made the remarks in a fiery speech at the 12th Annual DoD LGBTQ+ Pride Event in Washington DC, saying that the laws sometimes forced her to choose 'less qualified' candidates for postings in those states.
'Since January of this year, more than 400 anti-LGBTQ+ laws have been introduced at the state level,' said Burt, the Space Force's deputy chief of space operations.
'That number is rising and demonstrates a trend that could be dangerous for service members, their families, and the readiness of the force as a whole,' the general added.
Burt explained that in some cases, the most qualified candidate for a transfer or promotion might be passed over, if the laws in the state of the new posting could negatively impact them or their families.

Service personnel formerly characterized as threats to 'security, good order and discipline' given less than honorable discharges and/or confinement are now characterized as best qualified.

An acme of moral distortion:
How pregnant with peril his portion,
That man in a dress!
He's our Space Command's best...
And we've banned his life-saving abortion!

Protecting the kids from sexual grooming is somehow endangering Space Force readiness. I sort of pictured Ultra Man when they floated the idea for Space Force, but it looks like the model was Flesh Gordon. Somehow I don’t think I want to know what is going on in Space Force boot camp.

At which point I hear the refrain of Sky Pilot... ponder a friend's reason for ditching childhood dream of becoming a Jesuit and taking over the Vatican ("all the buggery" at the South Bend frat house)... and commence arpeggiatin', all in the blink of an eye. Super hose indeed. But what the hell's going on with that channel, and the little German girl with millions of views, and the Johnny Cash impersonator with umpteen versions up?
[Federalist] Former President Donald Trump was indicted on the same day FBI Director Christopher Wray caved to House Republicans and allowed members of the Oversight Committee to view an agency document demanded by the GOP.
The document, an unclassified FD-1023 form, is said to implicate President Joe Biden in a criminal bribery scheme from his time as vice president. According to Republican lawmakers who viewed the document in a secure room on Capitol Hill, the document from a credible confidential informant contains evidence President Biden took a $5 million-dollar bribe from a "foreign national." That foreign national, Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley says, is an executive at Burisma, the Ukrainian energy company that showered Hunter Biden on the board in excess compensation.
"According to the 1023, the foreign national possesses 15 audio recordings of phone calls between him and Hunter Biden," Grassley said on the Senate floor Monday, with 17 recordings in "total."
Grassley’s bombshell floor speech brought the Biden bribery scandal back into the news cycle after FBI officials sought to suppress coverage of the scheme with Trump’s second indictment. Biden’s Republican predecessor and lead contender for the GOP’s 2024 presidential nomination surrendered to federal officials Tuesday, giving Biden something in common with Russian President Vladimir Putin: both of their chief political opponents are under arrest.
Was last week’s timing a coincidence? Not if you see the latest episode in the arrest-Trump movement for what it is: the natural continuation of the failed Russia hoax eight years ago.

I would bet they have in-depth algorithms showing 'typical attention spans' and media messaging timelines required when they figure out what information, and exactly when that information needs to be dropped, in order to achieve some required goal.

Their algorithm needs some work. By doing this near simultaneously, it has worked like a volleyball set and spike. It has made the dual system of justice obvious even to stupid people, so their polling with Dems has probably suffered as well.

[Rutherford Institute] "The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable."—H.L. Mencken
And so it continues.
This entire fiasco—indicting Donald Trump for allegedly violating both the Espionage Act and obstructing justice by improperly handling classified records—is merely the latest in a never-ending series of distractions, distortions, and political theater aimed at diverting the public’s attention from the sinister advances of the American Deep State.
Don’t allow yourselves to be distracted, diverted or mesmerized by the cheap theater tricks.
This indictment spectacle is Shakespearean in its scope: full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Nothing is the key word here.
Despite the wall-to-wall media coverage, this is all just smoke and mirrors.
Mark my words: the government is as corrupt and self-serving as ever, dominated by two political factions that pretend to be at odds with each other all the while moving in lockstep to maintain the status quo.
If you really want to talk about who’s guilty of treason, set your sights higher: indict the government for overstepping its authority, abusing its power, disregarding the rule of law, and betraying the American people.
When we refer to the "rule of law," that’s constitutional shorthand for the idea that everyone is treated the same under the law, everyone is held equally accountable to abiding by the law, and no one is given a free pass based on their politics, their connections, their wealth, their status or any other bright line test used to confer special treatment on the elite.
When the government and its agents no longer respect the rule of law—the Constitution—or believe that it applies to them, then the very contract on which this relationship is based becomes invalid.
[Am Greatness] The FBI conducted a halfhearted inquiry, at best.
Now we know why.

It’s also unclear, according to D’Antuono’s testimony, whether the FBI interviewed the woman who first found the device near the RNC. As I reported last year, Younger worked at the time for an agency called FirstNet, a public-private partnership between AT&T and first responders. The month before the Capitol protest, FirstNet received a $92 million grant from the FBI—which is either a wacky coincidence or another way in which FBI surrogates participated in the events of January 6.
Once again, for those who still believe in "coincidences."
“It just—unusual circumstance that we have corrupt data from one of the providers. I’m not sure—I can’t remember right now which one,” D’Antuono testified. “But for that day, which is awful because we don’t have that information to search. So could it have been that provider? Yeah, with our luck, you know, with this investigation it probably was, right. So maybe if we did have that—that data wasn’t corrupted—and it wasn’t purposely corrupted. To my knowledge, it wasn’t corrupted, you know, but that could have been good information that we don’t have, right. So that is painful for us to not to have that. So we looked at everything.”

In perhaps the most alarming portion of D’Antuono’s testimony, he revealed that the FBI does not have a complete account of cell phone use in the area on January 5, data that would easily result in tracking the perpetrator’s identity. In what Revolver News’ Darren Beattie described as “the dog ate the geofencing data” excuse, D’Antuono claimed data from one provider was “corrupted” and unusable.
It's possible the government might not have complete cell phone data in this area because they didn't want to.

It is also interesting that only Beattie has investigated the pipe bomb- no WP, NYT CBS …. Zzzz coverage.

[BLAZE] The Food and Drug Administration approved America's first commercially produced contraceptive pill in 1960. Although Planned Parenthood's eugenicist founder Margaret Sanger touted it as a "magic pill," in the intervening 63 years, it has afflicted women with a multitude of side effects.
A new study published Monday in the peer-reviewed scientific journal "Epidemiology and Psychiatric Sciences" revealed that the so-called magic pill threatens women with an increased lifetime risk of depression.
Women who began using the pill as teenagers were found to have had a 130% higher rate of depressive symptoms compared to so-called never-users. Women who began taking oral contraceptives as adults suffered a 92% higher rate of depressive symptoms than their pill-free peers.
This adverse effect can prove to be fatal, especially among teens.
A 2020 study published in the journal "Psychological Medicine" indicated that young women using oral contraceptives may be at increased risk of suicidal behavior.

The pill is not only prescribed for birth control. It is given to women for acne, ovarian cysts and irregular or heavy periods. The goal seems to be to get all women taking the pill.
