Yeah, Obama scatter Libya, Syria and many more... That time is gone, these people should think of how to build and live together. Just like you see in gaza there are civilians who were jubilating as they murder other sect.

These people are pigs I tell you.
If one understood what all these groups are after , political power through a religious lens, It would be easier to contain them. For instance in Saudi the royal family is nothing but religious, their palaces are harems where beer is served .Yet the rest of the country has no alcohol.
As long as the citizens are happy the royals can continue ruling without being destabilized. When you attempt to impose elections these neanderthals split into religions first. Why did Muslims from all over the world flock to join the khilafa? Because that's their end game. The rulers want political power but they will use religion to achieve their end

I've just seen the jihadist president calling for peace. Why? Because they don't want the world to know what they are after. I'm watching France24 . It's buying time, their war will never end until all religion is for Allah.

We were also seeing videos of what was happening on social media. This is why Syrians hate Assad was they were all happy when he fell. This group that are being targeted also did not back him.
Obama would have forced Assad to adopt the Lebanon model. They have a rotating Head of state based on religion. Instead he wanted his Muslim brotherhood backed jihadists in power , and the mad Mullahs of Iran strengthened. A powder keg, but hey leftists are the smartest people in the room.
Maybe you people wonder why I detest Obama. It's because of his uplifting these jihadists and destabilizing the middle East. I spent a lot of time at the religion section before I came here, Michael Flynn was one person who understood the dynamics of this region.
Obama thinking is upside down . Mullahs strengthened, Assad out, Muslim Brotherhood jihadists takeover in Egypt and Libya, Erdogan appeased . Note Iraq has more Shia than Sunni but they all come together when fighting the Joos. With Iran strengthened, how is Yemen doing?

Its why I said all sides.
Assad and Putin with dropping barrel bombs.
Every war reporting from Syria has béen attributed to Syrian Observatory something, based in UK but has people on the ground .
Much of the reporting was skewed towards jihadists.
Assad and Putin dropped barrel bombs, they didn't have guided munitions though, which only fuels anger and resentment to his regime.
I blame Obama for initiating this whole mess , on his conceited idea of remaking the ME with his own warped distorted visions. That Assad was the problem and had to go and replace him with jihadists.
Right now , their true element is bared for the world to see.
A war that should never have been. Leave those dictatorship in place ,sanction them when internationally but don't remove them. Without a plan. Regine change can work for some societies but not for those Arabs unless they are secular.
What they will do to Kurds once they clear the Alawite will be horrendous. I hope some sober heads can stop this bloodshed soon.

Perkins Coie. Another addition to my vault.

Wall Street Apes
@WallStreetApes
Let me get this straight, Democrats lost their mind over Elon Musk and DOGE having access to American’s data

BUT

A PRIVATE Democrat law firm FUNDED BY GEORGE SOROS called Perkins Coie has access to classified information and security clearances

Over $22 MILLION in George Soros linked payments:

- $5 million: Direct donation to Perkins Coie’s political law practice prior to 2016, reportedly for funding lawsuits challenging state election laws.
- $3 million: Sole donation to the Immigrant Voters Win PAC, set up by Perkins Coie lawyer Jonathan Berkon, linked to Soros’s support for immigrant voting initiatives.
- $1.7 million: Donation to the Philadelphia Justice & Public Safety PAC (registered at Perkins Coie’s D.C. office) to support Larry Krasner’s 2017 DA campaign.
- $9.5 million: Donation to Priorities USA (a Democratic-aligned super PAC that has retained Perkins Coie), linked to Soros’s broader election influence efforts
- $1 million: Contribution from Alex Soros (George Soros’s son) to Priorities USA, also noted in posts found on X, potentially tied to Perkins Coie’s legal services.

AND IT GETS WORSE

Mike Davis, “The commander in chief, the president and the president alone gets to decide who has access to classified information. So if the president of the United States doesn't want Perkins Coie or any other law firm or person to have access to classified information, that is his absolute right”

This law firm Perkins Coie is responsible for

- Making up the Russian collusion hoax back in 2016
- They then ran to the FISA court and got an illegal spy warrant
- Lied to the FISA court, got an illegal spy warrant on then presidential candidate Donald Trump
- They continued to spy on President Donald Trump when he was the president of the United States
- They colluded with intel agencies and law enforcement to make up crossfire hurricane (With our nation's most classified secrets because they politicized and weaponized crossfire hurricane, which is the biggest scandal in American history.)
- They continued the lawfare against president Trump after he left office, the four indictments for non-crimes
- They tried to throw him off the ballot under a bogus theory under the constitution
- They underfunded Trump's secret service protection and tried to take off its head
- They were also directly involved with Barack Obama’s birth certificate A partner of the form personally went to Hawaii to collect his birth certificate
- An alumni represented Ray Epps in his lawsuit to silence Tucker Carlson. He now works for David Brock of Media Matters and founder of ActBlue. The lawyer together with David Brock are prime movers of Lincoln 65Project.
-Same law firm is associated with Stacey Abrams and the Georgia 2020 and 2016 election challenges Perkins is also behind the Ruby Freemen and her daughter suing Mayor Rudy lawsuits

Ever8090:
I support this move and I believe that, Hamas have learnt their lessons and will never dare try shit with Israel again if not, the pounding and bringing down of the newly constructed city will start the very day painting of the last building is completed
Hamas will never give up attacking Israel the Palestinian Authority will never give up. Their war with the Jews started around 620 AD,has never ended and will never end.
Right now they are weak militarily they are using foolish elites in Europe and America to extract as many concessions from Israel as they can. While the rest of the world feeds them.
The grievance with Israel is religious not land .Hamas are maniacal genocidaires whose purpose in life is to exterminate every Jew. Then reclaim any land they ever ruled.
Once they are done with Israel they will go to Europe and the rest of the world to conquer them. Stealthily or violently.
When negotiating with them, it's important to know their end game. They should never be appeased or given an inch. They can sign treaties or hudna, but their religion allows them to break any treaty when they are strong enough. Their treaties are preferably 10 years where possible, be very careful with them. They are conniving backstabbers.
Foreign AffairsRe: France, Germany, Italy And UK Back Arab Plan For Gaza Reconstruction by basilico:
Arabs don't want Palestinians because they are nothing but trouble First these Palestinians are not distinct from fellow Arabs . They are Syrian, Iraqi, Lebanese Saudis Arabs They are just Arabs who emerged from the deserts of Saudi Arabia.
They should be removed from Gaza and get resettled by their fellow Arabs
Noone ever talks but from 1948 the Jewish communities in those Arab nations were expelled, 900K ,most of them were settled in Israel.

The Jewish exodus from Arab nations primarily occurred during the 20th century, with approximately 900,000 Jews migrating, fleeing, or being expelled from various Muslim-majority countries. Here’s a breakdown of the estimated numbers of Jews expelled from some key Arab countries:

Iraq: About 120,000 Jews
Egypt: Approximately 75,000 Jews
Libya: Around 38,000 Jews
Syria: About 30,000 Jews
Yemen: Approximately 50,000 Jews
Tunisia: Around 100,000 Jews
Algeria: About 140,000 Jews
Morocco: Approximately 250,000 Jews
Today, it is estimated that only around 15,000 Jews remain in these regions. The majority of those expelled found refuge in Israel and other countries.

Those expelled Jews properties were confiscated, Arab nations owe Israelis billions of dollars.Instead of paying back the Jews,the Arabs should take in those Palestinians and assimilate them.They don't want to.

Palestinians are not distinct at all from any Arab from Egypt or Libya or Bahrain.
They were all expelled from Kuwait after supporting Saddam invasion. Over 200,000 of them.
They were expelled from Jordan after they tried to overthrow the Jordanian monarchy.
They went to Lebanon to stage terror attacks in Israel forcing Israel to invade Lebanon in 1982. Lebanon has never been the same since they showed up.
Their leaders live in exile, many in Qatar and Turkey. One was killed recently in the Iranian capital.
They have been offered statehood severally and refused. When they got Gaza back the first thing they did was loot the greenhouses and started demanding food aid. They can't construct desalination plants to treat water from the sea, they get water from Israel and complain it's not enough. They are fed from UNRWA facilities , which they then use to hide rockets and weapons.
In short Palestinians are just like a ugly sore and parasites who instead squander cement to build tunnels for attacking Israel.
The international community should reject their Right of Return .. the direction Trump is taking. They make demands and throw tantrums like 4 year olds ,as if they have any cards to play.
One tiny Jewish country surrounded by millions of square kilometers of Arab territory should not be any issue at all.

Idi Amin levels of corruption
The prosecution of Eric Adams was political . Once the motion to withdraw the charges were filed the judge refused to dismiss and appointed an outside attorney to review the case.

The outside lawyer who was given the job of reviewing the case Paul D. Clement, a former Solicitor General for the G.W. Bush administration. ..... ....Paul D. Clement, said the judge should not allow the Trump administration to use the threat of criminal charges to compel Mr. Adams’s political support. He recommended that the case be dismissed with prejudice, meaning the charges could not be brought again

With that experience , EPA granted them funds to repeat the same but now on a much bigger scale. Nationally.

I have not singled out the Chinese.at all.

Thosr who encourage immigration also don't like being reminded that most terror attacks are carried out by people with immigration history ,and I can as well add religion now that you have gone there.

Just like you are doing you band around figures to prove immigrants are not as dangerous as say white supremacists. Take the case of gun violence , figures are hidden for black on black crimes. Transgender attacker manifesto is not released publicly .

- Assad's and subsequently Syria's collapse was facilitated by Israel - Netanyahu basically said.

- many UN reports from 2015 all reported Israel was in cahoots with ISIS and Syrian rebels.

- Israel backed the rebels

- Gadi Eisenkot admitted in 2019 that Israel supplied weapons to Syrian rebels.

Present day, we can see that the actions of the rebels favor Israel. Netanyahu congratulated them. Whatever restrictions he is giving to them is ultimately to protect his country.

Feeding a crocodile hoping it will eat you last.

Can you extricate Jolani's mission from Israel's?

I mean, we need to stop employing these double standards.
Israel mortal enemy is the Iran. Hezbollah is a shia sect , funded by Iran..Unlike other ME Iranians are advanced technologically and they are ruled by Ayatollahs who threaten Israel every Friday. The little Satan and America the big Satan.
In their Jew hatred they sponsor Hamas militarily and financially.
Israel worst threat is Hezbollah with their hundreds of thousands of missiles aimed at them.
ISIS was after a caliphate, not a direct threat to Israel because they are aware of what IDF can do
Israel was in a rock and hard place. They don't want Assad because iran props him up
ISIS, HTS, Al Nusra, Al Qaeda hate Israel but are careful not to go into direct confrontation with IDF. Reason. Israelis know the hatred is not about land. Land is just the excuse which infuriates them.
I'll leave it at that.
IDF would not arm those terrorist groups , who after prevailing would have come for Jerusalem.
ISIS was fighting a direct war of conquest not asymmetrical wars.
Israelis know Arabic
Iran seeks to dominate the middle east, arming every proxy group to fight on its behalf. It's a more bigger threat than the HTS jihadists for now
Assad kept the peace with Israel, at the same time Iran weapons to Lebanon were mostly routed through Damascus.
Let me add, What Arabs tell you in English is different from what they say to each other in Arabic. Most Israelis know Arabic, I think it's mandatory in many Hebrew schools. In Arabic they proudly say what they want..

From Robert Reich.

Couldn’t have summarized it better.

It’s a long read but there’s no book that can detail the enormity of the crap that’s going on without achieving biblical volume
A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment operation that pays returns to earlier investors using the capital from newer investors, rather than from profit earned by the operation.

In response to Elon Musk calling Social Security the “biggest Ponzi scheme of all time,” U.S. Senator Patty Murray claims that SS “is not a Ponzi scheme” but “a promise that every American pays into so they can retire with dignity.”

IN FACT, if a private corporation operated a pension system structured like SS, it would be illegal under laws that prohibit Ponzi schemes. Here are the facts:

• Per the SEC, a Ponzi scheme “pays existing investors with funds collected from new investors.”

• Contrary to a popular myth, SS doesn’t save people’s money but pays benefits mainly by taxing people who are currently working.

• Per the National Academy of Social Insurance, SS is “largely a pay-as-you-go program” in which “today’s workers” pay money that “flows back out as monthly income to beneficiaries.”

• Per the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, “federal law requires that private pension plans operate as funded plans, not as pay-as-you-go plans.”

• Per the American Academy of Actuaries, federal law bans pay-as-you-go pension plans in the private sector to increase “benefit security” and ensure “intergenerational equity.”

• Like a Ponzi scheme, SS has levied multiplicatively higher tax burdens on succeeding generations of Americans, thus creating severe generational inequality.

• Politicians enacted SS with an explicit promise that “the most you will ever pay” in taxes is “3 cents on each dollar you earn, up to $3,000 a year.” Adjusted for inflation, the maximum SS payroll tax is now 9.1 times that amount, and SS imposes other taxes to fund the program.

• For workers who earned average wages and retired at the age of 65 in 1980, it took 2.8 years of receiving old-age benefits to recover the value of their payroll taxes (including interest). For workers who retired in 2003, it took 17.4 years. For workers who retired in 2020, it will take 21.6 years. This assumes that SS has enough money to pay scheduled benefits for the entire period, which it is not projected to have.

• Despite multiplicative tax increases, SS is due to become insolvent in 2035.

• To put SS on the same financial footing as a fully funded pension plan, every person who currently pays SS payroll taxes would have to contribute an additional $272,237.

• Contrary to other popular myths, the SS Trust Fund hasn’t been looted, Trust Fund operations have not changed in any meaningful way, and no money has been diverted from SS to the SSI program.

No Israel to blame
Assad enemies were funded by Obama ,Turkey , Qatar and other Sunni countries
His was a political survival war and a religious war at the same time
When ISIS defeated Al Nusra and others they imposed Sharia. .
Assad being in power protected the Shia Alawite s Christians and the Druze too from the jihadists. He was a stooge of the Shia Iran.
The Kurds armed themselves and became autonomous..
When the hezbolah were decimated by IDF in the final days Turkey armed and supported the HTS which is really no different than ISIS. Only that they are under Turkey , they will not implement strict sharia laws. Erdogan main target is the Kurds, he will use HTS to finish them off politically and militarily.
In the meantime the jihadists are after finishing off the Shia Alawite, Christians be damned also.
Then they will turn on Kurds in the north West and north east. Unless they are called out right now by the West. It's a religious and political war.
HTS and Taliban are Siamese twins. Macron should be telling them off not inviting them to Paris.
They will lie to him, their goals are more religious than political.
When ISIS attacked Kobane Kurds , Erdogan just sealed the border with his tanks and watched ISIS attempt to exterminate the Kurds. Fortunately Kobane got help and beat the terrorists back.

Stop posting conspiracies, man.

Saw this on some X thread. Trump teargassed peaceful BLM/anifa who had injured 50 park policemen during the summer of love protests in 2020.

Reporting on the decision to remove the massive “Black Lives Matter” mural from a street near the White House, USA Today claims that BLM “protesters” were “forcibly removed from the area with smoke canisters” in 2020 so Trump could “pose for photographs at a nearby church.”

IN FACT, that widespread narrative is entirely false. Here are the facts:

• On June 1, 2020, the U.S. Park Police and the DC Police Department dispersed a violent “Black Lives Matter” protest near the White House.

• Shortly thereafter, Donald Trump walked to a church in the area of the cleared protest and highlighted the damage that the protestors had done to the church.

• Soon after that on the same day, many Democrats and media outlets alleged that Donald Trump ordered federal troops to “tear-gas peaceful protestors for a photo op.” Here are 6 prime examples among many:

1) Senator Elizabeth Warren claimed, “The President of the United States tear-gassed peaceful protestors in order to clear the way for a useless photo-op outside the White House.”

2) Senator Kamala Harris alleged, “Donald Trump just tear-gassed peaceful protesters for a photo op.”

3) New York Governor Andrew Cuomo declared that Trump “used the military to push out a peaceful protest so he could have a photo op at a church.”

4) NPR reported that “U.S. Park Police and National Guard troops” used “tear gas” against “people nonviolently protesting police brutality” to “clear way” for a “Trump church photo-op.”

5) A New York Times headline stated, “Protesters Dispersed With Tear Gas So Trump Could Pose at Church.”

6) A headline on Slate proclaimed, “Peaceful Protesters Tear-Gassed and Beaten Outside White House to Clear Space for a Trump Photo-Op.”

• Within 4 days, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser had “Black Lives Matter” painted in giant yellow letters on the street near the protest and announced that she was renaming the area to “Black Lives Matter Plaza.”

• Two months later, Bowser took the stage at the DNC Convention and boasted that she created “Black Lives Matter Plaza” because Donald Trump deployed “troops” and “tear gas” against people who “peacefully protested the death of George Floyd.”

• Ten months later in June 2021, the Inspector General of the Department of the Interior released the results of an investigation which found that all 4 elements of the allegations against Trump were false:

1) The investigation found that the protestors were not peaceful but had injured “at least 49” Park Police officers, “vandalized” “federal and private property,” wore “ballistic vests,” were “carrying baseball bats,” and “threw projectiles like rocks.”

2) The investigation found that the Park Police “did not use CS gas” (i.e., tear gas) to clear the protestors.

3) The investigation found that the DC Police Department—which was under the authority of Mayor Bowser—used tear gas in the area without “the control or direction” of the Park Police.

4) The investigation found that the Park Police “did not know about” Trump’s visit to the area until “hours after it had begun developing its operational plan” to stop the violent protestors and the “fencing contractor had arrived in the park.”

• Even after the results of the investigation were released, Bowser campaigned for reelection in 2022 with a mailer that stated, “When Trump sent federal officers to the streets of DC to stop peaceful protestors, Muriel painted BLACK LIVES MATTER across 16 Street NW to send a bold message.”

Bottom line: The protestors were far from peaceful, they were removed because they were violent, the timing had nothing to do with Trump, and it was Bowser’s DC Police who deployed the teargas. Yet, Bowser, leading Democrats, and the media blamed Trump for all of this.

According to the holding in Wayte v. United States 470 U.S. 598, 608 (1985), federal prosecutors may not consider a potential defendant’s “political associations, activities, or beliefs. Politically motivated prosecutions also violate the Constitution.

Moreover, per D.C. Bar Ethics Opinion 339 (which is advisory), if a criminal prosecution cannot be used to punish political activity, it likewise cannot be used to induce or coerce such activity. Threatening criminal prosecution even to gain an advantage in civil litigation is considered misconduct for an attorney.

So, I believe the decision by the federal DOJ to drop the charges against Mayor Adams was improperly executed. However, even if the District court declines the DOJ’s request to dismiss the case, the Supreme Court would ultimately grant the request.
PDP . Remember this case The judge refused to dismiss the mayor's case and appointed an outside lawyer to give an opinion.
The outside lawyer who was given the job of reviewing the case Paul D. Clement, a former Solicitor General for the G.W. Bush administration. ..... ....Paul D. Clement, said the judge should not allow the Trump administration to use the threat of criminal charges to compel Mr. Adams’s political support. He recommended that the case be dismissed with prejudice, meaning the charges could not be brought again
The case against Eric Adams is over. It was a political witch-hunt after Adams criticized the immigration policies of Biden or whoever controlled his autopen.
Those prosecutors had resigned in protest penning love letters to the media . Most likely they had a mission . Lock out Etc Adams and have his ass jailed for a looong time.
They should be investigated ,have their emails and phones confiscated.

And if you agree that Israel is killing the innocent, then tell me the difference between the killers in Syria and the Israeli government that you support.
Hamas planned over years on D-Day. Invade Israel via land, sea and air . Attack innocent civilians . Kill, main, rape and kidnap as many. They trained for this , deceiving watchful IDF guards who monitor the whole border. They airglided into an open air party, guns blazing and proceeded to murder as many as they could. In total they killed over1200 and abducted hundreds others. On top of that Hamas have fired thousands of rockets recklessly into Israel .

IDF had to retaliate. Take out their tunnels and rockets. Please provide an acceptable number the IDF should have killed in Gaza. One hundred, two hundred ? Give us a number

Congress especially approves finds for grants which are then funneled to orgs where their friends relatives baby mamas etc work. Who wants these connections mapped out .

Story is very interesting. Obama was the first to use an autopen to sign a bill into law while he was vacationing.

Joe Biden used it throughout except once.
His lackeys were running the show while he vacationed. Did they just issue pardons without his knowledge?

. Missouri AG wants DOJ to investigate whether Joe Bidens mental status allowed staffers to make decisions without his knowledge.
Am example. He wasn't aware he had paused LNG exports as he told speaker Michael Johnson.

I don't know about autopens but all his Executive Orders were signed using an autopen. One statement wasn't, when he quit the president race.
Would be interesting but unlikely to reverse decisions like of that judge who can't define a woman because she ain't a biologist.

Time to expose what China did.

JEFFERSON CITY Mo. – Today, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey secured a historic $24 billion judgment against the Chinese Communist Party for unleashing the COVID-19 pandemic — six times more than the previous largest judgment in Missouri history.

“This is a landmark victory for Missouri and the United States in the fight to hold China accountable for unleashing COVID-19 on the world,” said Attorney General Bailey. “China refused to show up to court, but that doesn’t mean they get away with causing untold suffering and economic devastation. We intend to collect every penny by seizing Chinese-owned assets, including Missouri farmland.”


Germany also paid deary for starting WWII and their carnage of WWI

I thought he was such a savvy businessman. Why didn’t they have the cameras rolling?

We have a reality TV star and his overfed sidekick as president. The views alone could get us out of the financial hole they’re digging us into.


We could call it “The Real Dictators of America”.

And the ratings would be off the charts. You know how he’s obsessed with attention and ratings.
Simply taken 49% don't approve peace in Ukraine.
Shaking my head.

The FBI has arrested three individuals on charges of treason, marking a significant development in an ongoing investigation under the agency’s new director, Kash Patel. The arrests were announced on Friday, just two weeks after Patel took office. Authorities have yet to disclose the full details of the case, but sources confirm that the suspects allegedly betrayed the nation and attempted to sell government secrets to China.

The U.S. Department of Justice said that two active-duty U.S. Army soldiers, Jian Zhao and Li Tian, and a veteran, Ruoyu Duan, were in the process of attempting to sell national defense intelligence to Chinese agents. Zhao and Tian were stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord



China man wherever he is first priority is duty to motherland. There are reports that any diaspora Chinaman is reminded of the fate of his relatives back home. Add indoctrination and surveillance situation, you easily forgive these guys.

Was it the same meeting convened to consider making DOGE cuts reflected in budget and laws,?
If it was then the reporting leads one to conclude that SS is seriously watching Musk not to punch Trump with brass knuckles.

Trump must be an economic genius to find sanctions to tremble Putin instantly that all the economists in Yankee and Europe missed before. . . . or a great propagandist. Well he's definitely a great propagandist. Every single devil trembles at the mention of his name

You mean peace talks in Saudi next week that have been scheduled since
I'll think he must be a genius. He has never filed for personal bankruptcies remember.
The truce js today's reporting as far as I can tell.

Spot on. Zelensky rose to power on the promise of adhering fully to the Minsk agreement. He switched up right after winning but lied barefaced to Trump that Putin disregarded it. Not a soul in the media is talking about it. He said Putin didn't comply with the released prisoners, but Zelensky is on video RECEIVING said prisoners. Yet, not a dint of a word about it. I'm spelling it out to zombies obviously not you.

Will lead to...Has it led to it yet? No. So you believe it because of....the MEDIA. Buhahahaha. Zombie no go turn unless you tell am to turn, zombie. Zombie o, zombieeeeeeeeee.

I am with you but I think the stakes are higher than we want to admit and Trump has tried for just 46 days. We almost forget this is just 1 month + and they've made strides.

That said, Bondi is another Bill Barr. She should be fired. Collins the Agricultural sec, fired as well. Compromised as hell.

I also agree that there's been some lull with the exposures but it is because they're going to attempt to kill Trump again. They are already calling for it. They're asking for another "Lee Harvey Oswald". That's why I said the Susan Rice thing will be demystified soon (per the media) because the attempt will fail and let's just say Zelebobo's days are numbered as well. So he is going to make trades for his life and those trades come with leaks.

PS: Lee Harvey Oswald did not kill JFK. I'm obviously not directing this at you. cheesy
Ever since the impeachment 1, my opinion of Zelensky is that he didn't want Trump as president, I guess it's because of the money laundering monkey business. I've also been following RT ,they have lots of features of Eastern Ukrainian reporting how the Azov brigade was unleashed upon them .
I have never seen the rationale for fighting Putin ,why does the west want so badly to weaken Russia which was actively moving to normalize relations. Remember Hillary with the red reset button?

As regards to firing federal employees,Trump better be careful when dealing with disgruntled military trained guys at CIA or FBI. Not good people.

Pam Bondi and KP should go for top democrats and expose their scandals.All democrats are still convinced Putin stole the election for Trump. The two should start by exposing how compromised the media is. 24 /7 churning out lies,half truths and innuendos. Media is one reason democrats are able to get away with anything ,including a "mostly peaceful protest" with fires and smoke in the background .If the media was honestly reporting democrats as they are now would have ceased to exist.
The crooks do their thing behind the scenes knowing big tech and media will be on their side.
It's one joint criminal enterprise.

Sanctions will work in your eye now when implemented by Dear Leader

"Based on the fact that Russia is absolutely 'pounding' Ukraine on the battlefield right now, I am strongly considering large scale Banking Sanctions, Sanctions, and Tariffs on Russia until a Cease Fire and FINAL SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT ON PEACE IS REACHED. To Russia and Ukraine, get to the table right now, before it is too late. Thank you," - DJT
