fbi. corruption. surely you jest; 

Someone recently said, Kash Patel can be looked upon as the best safety mechanism available to DC in order to protect themselves from the people.  It’s a good way of looking at it.

The public has seen far too much weaponization and corruption within the FBI for the pretending Republican wing of the UniParty to try and ignore it.  Kash Patel stands in front of the Senate, facing We The People, as a committee offering to us in order to get the pitchforks and torches put down.

They figure if they confirm Kash Patel, everyone will settle down and the silo administrators can get back to doing their corruption stuff.  Senate Intel Committee Chairman Tom Cotton admits this, you just need to put on the non-pretending earphones to hear it.  ..........more.........

 whatever happened to 'just the facts mam';

Perhaps part of the reason the leftist media, specifically Washington Post, Politico, New York Times, Wall Street Journal (editorial pages) and CNN go bananas in their defense of the FBI silo, is because for the past decade they have collaborated so closely, even winning Pulitzer prizes together for their efforts on the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy.

Seriously, it’s no longer a matter of journalists reporting on FBI activity.  In this era, we see FBI embeds in the role of journalists transcribing dictation directly from within the machinery of the silo itself.  The publications are vessels, messaging boards for FBI narrative engineer outputs.  Here’s the latest demonstration.

Adam Goldman and Devlin Barrett, two of the original stenographers for the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy theory, are now pushing an article using ONE anonymous FBI source who claims to have been told to resign, as representative of thousands of FBI top officials around the country being terminated.

 i have not watched the video yet but the link assures me its well worth watching;

This is excellent news.  There are two distinctively different sets of tariffs scheduled to roll out in the next few days, weeks and months.

One set of long-term tariffs called MACRO tariffs focused on reciprocity and based primarily on economic fairness.  The second and more urgent set, are focused on the immediacy of national security, border security and the demand for allies to shut down their support for fentanyl distribution.

The Border Security tariffs of 25% against Mexico and Canada start on Saturday.  The media and corporate interests in/around Wall Street are in maximum apoplexy mode; however, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik previously explained the reason for the urgency.  The video is 5 minutes and well worth your time if you want to avoid the confusion being pushed by media..........more......

 curious decision i suspect doesn't have any introspection involved;

NBC pundit Chuck “sleepy eyes” Todd was one of the obvious voices helping to destroy the remaining remnants of corporate media credibility.  Today, citing the collapse of corporate media credibility, Chuck Todd announces his departure from NBC.

WASHINGTON DC – Longtime NBC News political reporter Chuck Todd is leaving the network after 18 years, he announced on his podcast Friday morning. [H]e said it was because the “media has a lot of work to do to win back the trust” of the public, and “national media isn’t the place that’s going to be able to do it.”

[…] Todd said he will bring his podcast with him to his next venture after a brief hiatus. “I do plan to continue to share my reporting and my perspective, and to cover politics the way I’ve been covering it,” Todd said. (read more)

 too many things going on for larry to concentrate on one;

Whew!! Much going on. Let me start with some disturbing and stunning news out of Ukraine, courtesy of Russia’s Ministry of Defense. Ukraine has lost more than 700,000 personnel (i.e., KIA, WIA and AWOL) in the last six months:

▪️ Over the past six months, the monthly sanitary and irreplaceable losses of AFU manpower have consistently amounted to about 50,000 people and more (January 2025 – 51960 people, December 2024 – 48470 people, November 2024 – 60805 people, etc.).

▪️ At the same time, the number of new recruits in the AFU training centers, even taking into account the “activation” of TCCs throughout Ukraine, has been barely reaching 30,000 people per month for about half a year, who are sent to the line of contact without proper training, which leads to a reduction in the number of AFU personnel.

▪️ According to official data, about 100,000 Ukrainian military personnel have left their military units unauthorized and gone on the run.

Ukraine’s military is literally bleeding to death. These are unsustainable losses. Making matters worse is the political chaos unfolding in Kiev. A criminal case alleging corruption has been opened on Ukraine’s Defense Minister Umerov while Ukraine’s SBU has opened a criminal case against Kirill Budanov, Chief of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. Budanov is being investigated after media reports appeared detailing his warning to members of the RADA that if peace talks do not begin soon Ukraine will not survive the summer. Looks like it is a crime to tell the truth in Ukraine.

And then there is Kiev’s Mayor Klitschko complaining about President Zelensky:............more........

Corrupt Democrats Paid by Big Pharma Trying to Block Robert F. Kennedy’s Appointment

As I said, it is a fight to the death.

Paul Craig Roberts 

Years ago I thought Elizabeth Warren would be a good senator who would stand up for the people against the financial sector.  But I was wrong. Warren turned out to be just another unhinged Democrat.  Indeed, are there any Democrats who are not unhinged? ..........more.........

The Arbitrary Hypocrisy of American “Justice”

Paul Craig Roberts

US Democrat Senator Bob Menendez, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee was sentenced to eleven years in prison by federal district judge Sidney Stein for acting as an illegal agent for Egypt and accepting cash and gold bars as payment.

How does this differ from the $1,417,811 bribe that Big Pharma pays in campaign contributions to Senator Bernie Sanders or the $821,941  campaign contribution Big Pharma pays to Senator Elizabeth Warren?  If you think these sums don’t make Sanders and Warren agents of Big Pharma, you are out of your mind.  Warren is doing her Big Pharma assigned job by trying to block Robert Kennedy’s confirmation as Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Congress is up for sale, and it is purchased with campaign contributions. Everyone in Washington knows that members are purchased by lobby groups, such as Big Pharma, the military/security complex, agribusiness, energy, the Israel Lobby, and so on.  A corrupt or stupid Supreme Court legalized the purchase of the US government by lobby groups.  This is the reason that Congress does not represent the people who elect Congress. You can blame your lack of representation squarely on the US Supreme Court. One can’t help but wonder if there were under the table payoffs.

An uninformed person might answer that Menendez was paid personally, whereas campaign contributions are not personal money.  But, in fact, retiring members are entitled to take their election war fund with them.  Those planning to retire pay attention to building up their re-election funds...........more.........
