-Short Attention Span Theater-
Furious purple-haired Democrat unleashes on top White House aide with petty insult
Bag Lady has an emotional breakdown
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Liberal Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro
…people who like her no doubt consider her feisty…
snapped that Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin should be 'put in his place' during an argument on Capitol Hill.
Time for a thong foto shot of the stern.
Just ponder a raw chicken.
DeLauro – infamous for her feisty nature and purple hair – clashed with Mullin during a debate over the administration's child separation policy for undocumented migrants.

The Congresswoman, 83, was trying to highlight family separations at the border, claiming 3,900 children had been taken from their parents when Mullin interrupted.

'450,000 kids were lost under the Biden administration and you didn't say a word about it,' he claimed, when DeLauro became furious.

'Mr Secretary! Mr Secretary! Do not interrupt!' she said, wagging her finger at him.

'Don't you point your finger at me,' Mullin responded.

DeLauro hit back: 'I will point my finger at you!'

'Don't you be a hypocrite, you should be as upset about the 450,000 kids that were lost' Mullin added.

#1 

So 450k pre-adults go missing, and some have noted the Organ wait list for organ transplants during the OPEN BORDERS agenda period was greatly reduced. Pick a year 2015-2024 and see if the rumors hold water.

Or, was this the US Medical Industries version of what the CCP is known to be doing now forced harvesting?

Or just someone looking for a something to blog for click-bait revenue.

Government Corruption
John Bolton, Trump critic, pleads guilty in classified documents case
Now, go away
[Yahoo] John Bolton, who served as national security adviser during President Donald Trump's first administration, admitted in federal court that he mishandled national security information, Reuters reported.

Bolton, 77, who became a Trump critic after working for him from 2018 to 2019, pleaded guilty on June 26 to one count of retaining national security information. He reached a plea deal earlier this month. His sentencing is set for Oct. 28.

Bolton faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison and up to three years of supervised release, according to Kelly Hayes, the U.S. Attorney for Maryland, who spoke outside the courthouse after Bolton's court appearance.

"He will also pay a fine of $2.25 million and will forfeit his pension under the Hiss Act," Hayes said. The law denies pensions to federal employees convicted of national security crimes.
Ouch.
"No one is above the law, and I hope that this prosecution sends a clear message that we will vigorously investigate and prosecute individuals who violate our national security laws without fear and without favor," Hayes said.

A federal grand jury indicted Bolton in October on eight counts of transmitting national defense information and 10 counts of retaining national defense information. Most of the information in question was classified as top secret, according to the indictment.

The indictment said Bolton "abused his position" as national security adviser by "sharing more than a thousand pages of information about his day-to-day activities" on the job with two relatives who lived in his home but were not named in the indictment.

The indictment said Bolton kept handwritten notes of his days and then sent diary-like entries to these relatives using a commercial messaging application, and sent other top secret information to them using his personal email accounts hosted by AOL and Google.

"Today, Ambassador Bolton did what real leaders do," Abbe Lowell, his lawyer, said in a statement. "He took responsibility for a mistake he made, thereby saving the government resources to pursue a case that could expose additional sensitive information."

#2  The leftist media is framing this as a Trump employee breaking the law. Sad for the idiots that believe it.

#3  He is 77 yr old.

Probably will get no more than a month or two in prison.

Probation should include some restrictions on him also I expect.

#4  Hmm, I'm thinking the fine, 5 years of house arrest, no internet access and his TV locked to the View and View repeats.
