In order for radical leftists to continue to advance their ideological attacks, they have to pretend not to know things. Barack Obama took that long-standing truism to new levels of exploitation during his administration, reference: ‘Fast ‘n Furious, IRS targeting, Obamacare, Benghazi etc. The list is long.
Yesterday, the U.S. Department of Justice issued a memorandum to the FBI instructing them to initiate investigations of any parent attending a local school board meeting who might be viewed as confrontational, intimidating or harassment. The intent of the targeting memo is clear, the political activists within the DOJ are telling the political activists within the FBI to target ordinary parents as ‘Domestic Terrorists‘ or ‘Extremists‘, and open the door for federal action against their local civic activity.
Lisa Monaco was Barack Obama’s former homeland security advisor and former legal counsel in the White House. Monaco was the tip of the spear in using political activism under the guise of ‘homeland security’ to target political opposition. That type of political targeting is her specialty. Lisa Monaco is now the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.
As a direct result of her skill-set in combination with her current position, it is almost a guarantee that Deputy AG Lisa Monaco authored the DOJ targeting memorandum that AG Merrick Garland signed and sent to the FBI. Again, weaponizing internal political targeting under the guise of homeland security concerns is what Monaco is specifically famous for doing. Today, Missouri Senator Josh Hawley confronted DAG Monaco about the targeting memo. WATCH her response:
This is how they operate. This is how the two tiers of justice are evidenced.
We just saw that chasing a Senator into a university bathroom with a camera while shouting and verbally assaulting the legislative member was called “just part of the process.” Previously, we saw screaming at Trump administration officials in restaurants was not considered inappropriate or worrisome; and that follows instructions from Maxine Waters for democrats to target anyone from the former administration in any venue. None of that was considered “harassment”.
However, now the DOJ specifically tells the FBI to target any parent that is engaged in “harassment” against a school board member.
[…] Citing an increase in harassment, intimidation and threats of violence against school board members, teachers and workers in our nation’s public schools, today Attorney General Merrick B. Garland directed the FBI and U.S. Attorneys’ Offices to meet in the next 30 days with federal, state, Tribal, territorial and local law enforcement leaders to discuss strategies for addressing this disturbing trend. These sessions will open dedicated lines of communication for threat reporting, assessment and response by law enforcement.
…
The Justice Department will also create specialized training and guidance for local school boards and school administrators. This training will help school board members and other potential victims understand the type of behavior that constitutes threats, how to report threatening conduct to the appropriate law enforcement agencies, and how to capture and preserve evidence of threatening conduct to aid in the investigation and prosecution of these crimes.

Control is a reaction to fear. Parents must be pushing the right buttons for this level of control to be levelled against them.
Keep the fight. God’s protection on parents that care.

These parents are inspiring and awakening Extreme Federalism as describe by Sundance, with massive numbers showing up for local elections (way beyond the normal 10-15% which can actually be fixed by a small BLOCK of “legal” votes).
That is the start of extreme federalism. When people awaken to the local they start looking up the government food chain, state to national. This scares the heck out of BOTH parties.
Next step is run for School Board positions and oust these lunatics that currently serve. A pincer movement of Grassroots organization at the bottom while finding good candidates to insert at the top. As both Dan Dale and you note and expounding upon (paraphrasing the apostle Paul): suit up with the full armor of God and fight the good fight. The sword of Truth has no equal.
“All politics is local” – “Tip” O’Neal
Yes, we also have a way of taking back control following the constitution and withdraw the consent of the governed for the local school boards and including the lawless administration for that resident in the White House.
Hawley asked exactly what I honed in on yesterday. What exactly is harassment and intimidation. Monaco pretends those words were never said and just focuses in on violence.
It would seem that local cops and DA’s would already know where the lines are and know when to step in without a breath from the the DOJ.
Proof once again they always accuse you on what they are doing. The harassment and intimidation is coming from the DOJ.
Excellent. Nail on the head.
DD
They thought they would simply do what they are doing without parents caring. They think this because they probably don’t care about their own children. This is how people think most of the time. Consider a person in a relationship. If person A would never even think about cheating and person B cheats, person A is not likely to suspect person B. But if person B sees person A having lunch with a co-worker, they immediately imagine Person A is cheating on them.
Just as the left “projects” its crimes onto conservatives, other project their own flaws onto others as well.
They think we “do it too” because what they are doing, they believe is OK and normal.
I would love to confront this vile hack. One place I would never expect to see her is a gym.
Nor in a hair salon….
Check the buffet line for that sow
The Republicons should be at war with the Democommunists over the takeover of our country and political targeting. It’s just another day of cuckitude at the office for them.
This is what happens when the pendulums natural swing is interrupted and reversed.
After 8 years of obama remaking America.
We chose a President to clean it up.
To guide that pendulum back from its over extended journey to the left.
When they ALL allowed the ELECTION to be STOLEN!
They set in motion a chain of events that will end up with the final showdown scene.
The one that happens after
Someone takes it just a little bit too far.
That one move that solidifies everyone’s support for the HERO,
and shows the villains for who they really are.
Sooner or later…
HELL IS COMING FOR BREAKFAST!
Josh Hawley…talks a good game anyway. Will it move any needles in the DOJ? Somehow I doubt it. Totalitarians have no trouble ignoring oversight and laws. As we’ve already seen.
Democrats are all wondering “Where is Bernie Bro James Hodgkinson when we need him most.”
RAMP IT UP
Full speed ahead!!! The FIB should be really busy prosecuting the rioters from all of last year all over the country. They should be busy tracking down the criminals who have crossed our borders and are roaming about the country. But no… they’re gonna stick their noses into our local business.
Obviously, they’re skeered!! They’re scared because we all, 80+million of us, decided to GO LOCAL. They can’t stop a grassroots groundswell for justice demanded by We the People.
BFAWoman,
The Feebs go after Antifa and BurnLootMurder rioters? Who do you think coordinated and supplied all the rioters in 2020!
The Fumbling Incompetent Bureaucrats are fast devolving into the O’Biden Regime’s SS! Antifa and BLM are the SA; useful for gaining power but too out-of-control to keep around! Especially if they start protesting the mandates as they just did in NYC!
I am mad as hell and dam it, I want another hearing! Get the AG up here, pronto!
You have got to be kidding me.
OMG! Another hearing indeed!!!!
You typed what I was thinking.
How about a hearing… and a strongly worded letter.
Now that will show them.
This cabal of dangerous Marxist revolutionaries must be stopped, then indicted, then convicted of high treason, and then incarcerated in a penal colony – never to return.
This vile, insidious poison must be removed from the American body politic. It is against the law to be an active communist. It is a grave threat to the Nation.
Bring back the HUAC and root out the scum. No more mister nice guy.
If parents would pull their kids, they’d win and more importantly their kids would win.
Oh look!! There’s my do nothing (except for the US Chamber of Commerce) senator, Cornyn. Absent on all issues Texan. But sure as heck present on every single thing that benefits RINOS and Big Business.
13 of the people listed above also were among the 19 GOP senators who voted to advance the infrastructure bill.
IOW the usual suspects.
Yep. We need to keep our eyes on them.
Yep, both my senators are on both lists!
NC has a senator getting ready to leave office and one (endorsed by Trump by the way) who just got re-elected. Both of their names are on the list, both are Republicans (Burr and Tillis). Traitors to their state which went both times for Trump, and with a Republican state legislature. Republicans in NC are pains in the wazoo! Or on the take or wimps or all of the above.
How many of those names are on the letter requesting the IRS crush the Tea Party?
Same game.
EVERY SINGLE ONE of these people needs to GO!!!!!!! The UniParty must be exterminated.
Another lone Republican gets his turn on stage.
Of course, a unified GOP pledge to abolish the FBI and vote against all future FBI budgets will never happen.
A single GOP Senator gets trotted out to give the illusion of “Doing something” while the rest of the Senators “Do NOTHING”…..
Except beg for donations…
You forgot their very serious tweets.
How could I have been so remiss?
TY, FPCHmom!!
John McCain would solicit contributions from me, a resident of Illinois. However, when he called me a Whack-A-Doodle Bird, he refused to accept a phone call or email from outside AZ. It’s very convenient isn’t it?
Patricia,
Our donations seem to be just another “Profit Center” for the Uniparty.
@JesseKellyDC
Apply to the communist every rule he applies to you. Whatever he hates, do it. Whatever he treasures, attack it.
They will not be defeated or cowed by your weakness disguised as morality. That only serves to encourage him.
Discourage him.
Texas should mandate prayer in schools. We need the commies gone from Texas.
Jesse Kelly has one of the clearest voices in media today.
He’s my daughter’s friend. I’ve met him several times at her house. He is a straight up dude who speaks truth every time he tweets. He’s huge too….about 6’5 and former veteran. He pulls zero punches.
The seed was planted to make it clear that parents will be monitored as aka domestic terrorists if they dare question their ‘elected by those same parents’ school boards about what those school boards are allowing in their kid’s school classes. How more transparent can they be that this is pure intimidation by the government. She can spin it anyway she wants, but we all know what it really was.
And they use the J6 prosecutions as an example of how they treat people they deem domestic terrorists.
It doesn’t take two sides to pick a fight. It only takes one, and they are picking.
Concerned American parents attending school board meetings are apparently having a place prepared for them

They will not stop until they are stopped.
And the only way to stop them, peacefully and before it is too late, is to overturn that damned 2020 fraudulent election.
Under no circumstances is the election going to be reversed. Ever. Period.
It may get to a point that if PA or WI or GA do their audits and discover enough illegal ballots that everyone will drop the pretense of pretending it wasn’t stolen. Who knows… there may even be a text or email that gets leaked proving it. But the election will never be overturned. We have one party. One ruling class. We are not free citizens, we are subjects.
They will not stop and they will not be stopped. Our country’s trajectory is now terminal. We are a nation under judgment.
I respect your viewpoint. And I have faith that American Patriots can prevail and turn this country around.
Only… if we mainstream Americans unite with our pocket-books, participation and voting reforms… to go local, local, local.
January-February 2021 was really the litmus test for that. 40,000,000+ American households watched the election rigged away from them by the same people who tried to burn the country to the ground socially, economically, and racially. Behind these people are corporations like Amazon, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Disney, etc.
How many subscribers did Amazon lose in Q1, Q2, Q3 this year? How many home dropped Disney Plus? How many of the 75,000,000 Americans who voted for Trump deleted their facebook accounts?
Unite the country? We can’t even unite the Republican Party, a good 20-25% of which hates us, hates Trump, and everthing we stand for.
We’ll keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect a different result. As we always do.
That is very true, collectively we have broken too many of God’s laws and I believe we are under judgment. In the next few months and years I hate to see what’s going to be fall America.
Remember, your first amendment right to protest is not a right the government gives you, it is a right the government cannot take away.
School boards are made up of elected officials, ie. the government. The first place Americans need to start to take back our country is at the school board level. Now is the time for people to run for election and take these seats away and destroy the plans that corrupt our children. In the mean time, don’t let an empty threat like this interrupt confronting and loudly protesting failed school boards and their malevolent policies.
Josh is not for real or he would be exposing the State Controlled Media disguised as MSM.
Without it, the communists would have zero power.
He is an actor like all of them, allowed to go only so far.
Not a one will bust up the SYSTEM which is very, very good to them.
The DOJ is child abuse
DOJ, speech is violence. We must crack down on violence.
The Left have been using that equivalency in their school brainwashing programs for at least a couple decades, probably longer. Now we’re seeing this evil come to fruition.
Anyone stupid enough to actually believe that “Words that offend me are the same as taking a bat to me” has proven them selves to be mentally substandard and not worth preserving.
Disgusting, offensive, dangerous and false.
I remember as a child this little ditty.
“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.”
The lawless Depravity Party is establishing the precedents that will lead to their demise, if only we, the People, have the courage and intestinal fortitude to do what must be done.
Uniparty = Depravity Party.
They’re all in on it.
A two tier justice system and the Democrats are always breaking the law and never held to account. When are the people going to withdraw their consent to govern from this Lawless Administration or should I say criminal organization.
In fact the FBI should be investigating the school boards for their utter disregard for the Constitution and the laws of the state from which they reside in and what the kids are taught.
Why would you trust the BFI (sic) to conduct an open an honest inquiry?
People like this lying Monaco need to be taken down, a notch.
The US Attorney Community? What the hell is that – the budding 5th branch of government?
Lindsey and McConnell are such cowards as they can’t even stand up for the right of parents to speak openly at their kids school board meetings without the threat of intimidation and investigation by the FIB.
I truly don’t know who is worse for this country Biden/Obama or Graham/McConnell!
UniParty, they’re all in on it together.
As best I can tell Florida’s Governor DeSantis is the only governor who will stand up for his citizens:
Ron DeSantis on Twitter: “Attorney General Garland is weaponizing the DOJ by using the FBI to pursue concerned parents and silence them through intimidation. Florida will defend the free speech rights of its citizens and will not allow federal agents to squelch dissent.” / Twitter
Congress is part of the mafia. I’ tired of the circus. It’s all they are good for. TV shows, circus.
FJB FFBI FDOJ FCRT
This is nothing more then t intimadate parents to stop protesting CRT. Full steam ahead the FBI has no authority
Obama, Monaco, Rice and Powers.
The 100M may want to think about chanting
F Lindsey Graham
and
F Mitch McConnell
As they are the true head of the RINO/UniParty, that seeks to undermine Americans and this great Republic.
I’ll put my money on the parents. ?
Garland directed the FBI to crack down on any opposition to Communism .
We are getting ever closer to the tipping point.
“According to the DOJ, further efforts will be rolled out in the coming days, including a task force that will determine how to use federal resources to prosecute offending parents”
I am so weary of these leftists pretending to be sheepish little weaklings when being asked straight up questions.
This woman is the Deputy AG and her act is quite disturbing.
Again, I wouldn’t waste my time with a political operative like Monaco… I would make clear to the enforcers, both the DOJ and the FBI, that there will be severe consequences for any case where they followed the Garland/Obama memo by a future Republican Administration… Republican leadership needs to lay out a program of how severe these consequences will be, up to and including termination, indictment and imprisonment for any infraction of anyone’s 1st Amendment rights… Let them know that the left aren’t the only ones who can ruin people… Also make clear that those investigating will be independent of both the DOJ and the FBI…
Democrats with power are Nazis. Period. Fact.
And there are lots of plebeian Democrat wannabe Nazis hankering for power so they can control and abuse anyone they want.
We spent too many years electing weak men that plays by the rules and lose everytime and never learn.
In Germany homeschools are illegal. They can take your children. I can see losing custody of children if the Central Planners have their way.
Love to see the court eunuchs aligned behind these bureaucrats with their signature black masks and blank eyes.
I hereby award Merrick Garland and Lisa Monaco The Iron Swastika with Jack Boot Cluster. They may not have fully earned it yet, but they ares sure working on it.
Hawley didn’t ask her what precipitated the DOJ memo from Garland, he didn’t ask her what incidents of violence etc caused the DOJ to commit federal resources or what federal laws were broken. (none) He didn’t ask about the undue influence of the NSBA. He was more interested in his narrative imo. But hey, at least he confronted her.
and what does a politician “confronting” career bureaucrats achieve, exactly?
Nothing
This is not some out of control move by the DOJ. This is planned to provoke. Maybe distract, but mostly to keep people feeling defeated so we give up.
They are suffocating we the people on purpose.
I’ll say it again: If you intend to confront the school board, you had BETTER have a game plan for when the FIB does a no-knock raid at your house at 3 a.m.
They’re NOT coming after us when we’re in large groups but when we’re all alone. PLAN ACCORDINGLY. Be proactive. Get the neighbors and other parents involved. Talk to your local police and sheriff’s department about options. Decide NOW what you can and will do!
Otherwise, you’re going to be rotting in jail–for standing up for your child!
The question that NEEDS to be answered is ‘WHAT prompted THIS memo?’ and WHY?
Exactly, show us the parents acting like Antifa and BLM traitors
Lisa Monaco, as I recall, is a very close confidant of Andrew Weissmann. Both have a long and deep history of working against the American people.
