One of the lesser highlighted aspects to Attorney General Merrick Garland using the FBI to investigate parents as domestic extremists when they attend school board meetings, is that Garland put the prosecutorial process in the DOJ- National Security Division (DOJ-NSD).
From the perspective of the general public, the DOJ-NSD has become a well known division within the DOJ in the past several years, because it was within this division where the lawfare alliance constructed their political targeting operations against candidate Donald Trump. The DOJ-NSD is where the secretive title-1 FISA applications are created and submitted to the FISA court.
As established by AG Eric Holder and DAG Sally Yates, the DOJ office of inspector general, the internal self-checking mechanism to act an a watchdog, was also blocked from having oversight into the DOJ-NSD throughout the era of Barack Obama. This lack of oversight was intentional to keep the DOJ-NSD political operations hidden from any review.
The DOJ-NSD was the home for John Carlin, Mary McCord, Andrew Weissmann and Bruce Ohr among others who conducted the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s classified email use and later into candidate Donald Trump via the FBI Crossfire Hurricane operation. It is the DOJ National Security Division that selects targets for prosecution (ex. FARA) based on political affiliation. In this round of questioning by Tom Cotton, the Arkansas senator focused on the use of the DOJ-NSD by Merrick Garland. WATCH:
Your daughters are not safe in blue states. Democrats support rape in schools.
Your sons aren’t safe either! They can be raped, too, you know!
Exactly, it’s a tragedy.
Oh, especially with the Afghan “bacha bazi” loving refugees they’ve spewed all over everywhere.
Obviously Garland and the dems support that sort of thing.
Ask the brother of Pelosi.
Your sons, either. Democrats know no bounds.
Yeah, they think of it as “grooming.”
Democrats think child rape is normal. They defend it. They promote perverted sex to children in school.
They place children in danger with their transgender satanic ideology.
California is legalizing child rape. Age 12, I think!
Whisky Tango Foxtrot are you talking about? I call Bravo Sierra!
Sounds like Mexico.
Notorious RGB wanted our children to be “legal” at 12.
She earned her millstone.
RGB?
Ruth Bader Ginsburg – Supreme Court
Case in point. Not much shocks me anymore, but this one was quite something. It really is depressing to see how far we have fallen. The worst part is that none of these people are ever punished, shunned, lose their jobs, or run out of town. No consequences whatsoever for their behavior. https://www.weaselzippers.us/475823-mayor-of-hazard-kentucky-held-an-event-where-male-school-students-dressed-in-drag-and-gave-teachers-lap-dances/
Where are all the REAL Republican Senators and Congressmen? Why are they not holding press conferences like DeSantis and screaming bloody murder???
Theyre having cocktails with durbin and the rest of the dems laughing it up.
So true. I can hear them now…” you were pretty rough on him weren’t you fella”? LOL LOL
Real? No sorry, except for MTG and Matt G. the rest are really Democrats. The proof is in how they vote- or dont. I will never forget or forgive them for fighting President Trump more than they fought the opposition. DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS.
You are correct Mike, and that includes Tom Cotton. That is why Gaetz’s life was threatened. The ones that fight, the left always really go after them.
There also three Ohio judges who died this week presumably after getting the mandated jab.
I’ve wondered about them as Leo, in their early forties?
Absolutely true, plus those voting to impeach him. They are bought off scoundrels rotten to the core, starting with Lindsy.
To them,Trump WAS the opposition and still is.
Now you’re grasping at why there were many Congress critters that would not run for re-election when Trump was elected!
Does their silence cause you to question their fidelity?
Sure does…or that they simply are submissive cowards who will just go along to get along.
Looking at you Thune and Rounds from SD………………….we’re waiting you disgusting scumbags!
Mine, Cornyn, is getting his marching orders from his employers, the Chamber of Commerce.
I don’t know all of Josh Hawley’s votes. This is pretty good:
And since we know he won’t resign, what you gonna do Sen. Hawley?
I think they’re all owned.
I just sent an Email to Ron Johnson about his vote to confirm Merrick Garland.
You won’t see any of them stopping Biden from making recess appointments, like they all 100 did to PDJT.
Exactly
If you have to ask that question you haven’t been paying attention.
Blackmailed or threatened or both I would think. They aren’t Boy Scouts or they wouldn’t be in the swamp.
Leftists believe the revolution is nearly complete.
They need the classic, fabled counter-revolution.
Republicans have been stubborn and recalcitrant about providing the excuse required for the police state crackdown. Our fascists are all dressed up with nowhere to go.
Republicans have been maddeningly slow to take back the local city councils and school boards from the leftists. Therein lies the future of America. Leftists probe for the weak spots and attack. Teachers unions install their lackeys on school boards.
Instead of ranting about the second amendment, get together with a few friends and neighbors, and elect a concerned young mother to the local school board. You can donate a few bucks. You can make a few phone calls. Stop with the excuses.
I agree we cannot sit back and wait for “somebody” to come to our rescue. That somebody is US.
When will WE get involved in our communities? When will WE kick the commies to the curb?
With good intentions, you are misleading, and here is why.
The Dominion Voting Systems are owned by the CCP. And, here is the proof. Down ballot races to include the School Boards are on that ballot. Simply put, someone else selects your School Board members. Voting with these machines in place and with the previously selected voting officials, nullifies our votes.
You must remove the Dominion Voting Systems and the corrupt election officials before starting. Otherwise, it’s unlikely that the “young mother” will get on the local school board.
BREAKING: Investigation Reveals Chinese Govt-Tied Bank Has Majority Stake in Dominion Voting Systems

I live in a small county. We have paper ballots and we don’t do midnight shenanigans.
Same with Smartmatic machines.
Please. No. Young. Mothers. Please. Just. No.
Here’s why:
We need rational, cold anger that thinks sharply and critically under extreme pressure and does not go off on emotional rants. I’d like a person of middling years, well seasoned in a profession, who has had to battle it out with extremely nasty and vicious people in business or law and keep their proverbial cool while dealing verbal body blows with a smile.
Leave the emotional rants for the attending young mothers.
Tatiana Ibrahim gets my vote.
I agree, though this discussion can’t take place without addressing the reality of the risks now involved in taking part in the public process. Or what remains of it.
But your point is well taken.
It’s time we start calling Democrats child predators. They are and don’t feel bad about it.
They don’t like getting caught and getting bad press from the right, but they are not sorry they covered up child rape.
They hate that they were caught and proved culpable right before election.
Actually has been true for the last 50 years in my experience.
Time we name the D’s by name – Bubba, Weinberg, Biden1&2, Epste*n, Podestas, and the others. Name Ds names. And I’m just fine when they respond by naming Rs. Let a shooting match begin.
What a pathetic, simpering, quivering, prevaricating coward of an alledged human being. God save us, please!
The worse! Dude is going after parents of child abuse victim to defend the child abuser. It doesn’t get any worse. This is the worse.
test
Only a pedocrat would transfer a rapist to another school. Biden isn’t a real president and his cabinet are all illegitimate.
Rapists don’t belong in school, and IMO students that don’t know which gender they are don’t belong there either.
Here’s what a government school superintendent in Rhode Island is still trying to defend.
It’s time to investigate the school board people. Those who defend child rape probably are child abusers themselves. There’s no such thing as middle ground in this issue.
You are either very opposed and have zero tolerance for child abuse or you are an abuser yourself. There’s no neutral position here.
I love your anger. Every father, mother, grandparent, brother, sister, aunt, uncle should be OUTRAGED by the circumstances (transgender bathroom) of this girl’s rape. Their sick, deluded, and I agree with you – Satanic, belief system endangers American children.
*snip snip* the rest of my rant.
Our government is illegitimate and has purposefully made themselves the enemy of the people.

A helicopter? Ya gotta be kidding!
Never lose sight of the fact that it is Obama’s hand in the glove. The head of the snake.
They are making Trumps plan for “Draining the Swamp” easier. Trump does not have to “Tell It” to the people. The people can now “See it” for themselves. The Communist/Fascist/Totalitarian house of lying cards are falling all around them. They are in desperate panic and can only answer with another lie upon lie.
We are getting our free Constitutional America back. It is all downhill for them. There are no longer remaining options for to make it better for them.
Agreed. Anyone who thought they would stop with Trump now knows it has always been about unlimited government power and the ability to put anyone under the microscope.
Wasn’t Lavrentiy Beria into treating young girls very badly as well? Maybe it’s all part of a personality type?
And how exactly are we getting it back?
. Our voting infrastructure and process is now corrupted beyond repair, short of going to purple fingers.
. The CDC has terrorized 50-60% of the population into fearing a virus so deadly you have to be tested to know if you have it.
. The courts are either punting rulings, or are performing judiciary activism, not ruling on the law.
. We no longer have borders
. The police and law enforcement have become thugs doing the left’s bidding (they are less and less on the People’s side in my experience)
. Too many of our states have become mini-feudal camps, where our “leaders” have become mini-tyrants.
. The media have become full scale propagandists.
I guess I’m missing the downhill for them part, as I watch my bank account dwindle, they try and take my rights away via fascist actions, the economy overall starts misfiring and the shelves in stores grow emptier by the day.
Yes.
You just stated all the reasons for getting it back and it will take time. However, the People now know what it is presently and will fight to get it back to Constitutional freedom. Trump is the leader and It has always been planned strategically. Truth Social is just another part of the strategy and a very powerful one at that.
Don’t forget the agents/ officers just obeying orders. They are just as bad.
Our justice system sides with child predators.
Now what?
Justice is in our hands.
Perhaps the parents of that school district should go public and ask kids to come forward with any information on their teachers and school staff.
Expose the crooks. I’m sure this was not the first and only incident of this type. How many more victims over the years in that school district?
Every parent should talk to their kids and ask what do they know. Start there.
I know what I would do if one of my grandsons were harmed by these demons.
That is not an idle boast, and I don’t care if this post comes back at me.
When our was 4,( he is now 32) we were at the local pool, our son was getting changed and struggling with the process as a 4 year old would.
I was a a short distance away at our locker with half an eye on him, well the other half observed a fat slug of a guy eyeing him up from head to toe.
I will leave it at that, I have never seen the fat slug again.
Pedos are the worst of the worst…there is no cure, and the damage they inflict is monumental.
If I had a young kid in school, 5 -12 years old, I would place a hidden body cam on my child, or on the backpack because I don’t trust our education system.
Older than 12 they can probably figure things out and tell the parents what goes on. But young kids don’t know any better.
If I had a child 5-12 years old, I’d be keeping them OUT of public schools, and educating them in my home.
I told my 17 yo grand dtr to wear a go pro… she laughed.. Actually, she’s old enough to know what’s going on and she has told me no *crap* in her classes.. so there’s that!
And I would respond with, if you have to hide a body cam, you’re not sending them into a safe environment. I’m personally tired of parents making excuses (sorry to all who feel they desperately need the public education system) for not protecting their own children.
Blah, Blah, Blah… Lots of noise & no action. Where is the outrage over current events? Where were the Republicans when Trump was in office? Not one stood up to allow Trump to do recess appointments. Not one in the senate. None. That is why, if Trump says donate money or vote this way. I do. I no longer doubt or question. There is no reason to. It can be no worse than the current way this country is headed.
People are waking up…
Don’t worry folks. No need to worry. Another hearing and another day to earn campaign donations.
Also, after the abuse Garland received today by Cruz (and Cotton) the DOJ will be changing the definition of rape to ensure they can say that poor girl in Loudan county wasn’t raped. In fact, already in touch with the CDC on how to do it on the DL.
Also- Loudan county is filthy rich. I wonder if the girl’s father was a rich DC lawyer (or one of the fat cats milking government contracts) if bis daughter’s rape would of been covered up? Remember he’s a plumber…
What can we expect from Attorney General Garland next? Promoting the establishment of reeducation camps to make sure parents see the errors of their ways? Establish labor camps for unemployed parents to keep them off the streets, while they place their kids in decent respectable homes of right-thinking progressives?
Isn’t interesting that politicians refuse to say “sodomy”? It’s not assault or sexual assault. It’s sodomy assault of a 14 year old girl in the girls bathroom at her school. Say it, fellas, sodomy assault.
Sodom and Gomorrah
You forgot half of the assault.
…committed by a sodomite
…covered up by supporters of sodomy
…flaunting sodomy in our faces by appointing sodomites in cabinet positions-Pete
…sodomy sympathizers flipping God the finger ?as the originator of marriage
Help4newmoms? Thank you for your boldness
Buckle up because it’s going to get worse before it gets better
as long as we stand around refusing to defend them, they absolutely CAN take them away.
If you have to ask permission from the government it’s not a right!
Good grief. Jill… a codependent on steroids threatened by a Marxist airhead… the comedy writes itself.
President Jill has a nice ring about it.
But that didn’t used to be the way it works.
Then again, nothing is the way it used to be – so why not?
She’ll have to fight off Nancy Pelosi for the job.
Well, if there are two administrations they both appear to be working towards the same Evil, UnAmerican, Marxist, Destroy the Country goals because I am only seeing one evil mindset, one evil track of utterly ruining We the People in every step the “Administration” makes.
Anyone else seeing evidence of this “alternate administration” ?
This won’t amount to anything, we been through these Senate hearings over and over countless times and what does it accomplish absolutely nothing.
And the beat goes on
The levers of power are gonna have to be torn from them, physically removed and I have no idea who’s going to that, if it’s ever done at all.
I do agree all people are accountable and there’s an appointed day when all will give an account.
“Parents have the right to protest, we are only concerned about violence, and we will have feds throughout the country creating the impression of such violence who will promptly arrest and destroy anyone they can entrap or merely noncredibly accuse.”
RAPE, PILLAGE, PLUNDER; AMERICA YOU’VE BEEN HAD!
NOTE: First, my thanks to President Trump for his role in exposing the entire military/industrial/political/deep state complex and the swamp they employ; and last my thanks to Little Joe, Crying Chuck, Loony Nancy, and so many others in the swamp. Special thanks to each of you for reinforcing my lessons learned throughout your years in politics. Oh, Little Joe, do you remember the time we listed you, Billy Clinton, and a whole gaggle of politicians as subjects in that international drug trade investigation? Hint, it was during your first term in the Senate. Why don’t you impress the folks by explaining the term, ‘Green Lining?’ Oh, Little Joe you have my congratulations in that you are one of the three subjects who has gone on to be President of the United States of America!
Soldier/Cop/Mercenary, Retired
President Trump’s remarks/actions since entering politics and this article reinforces the confession/lessons learned first presented in 1989 (most presented in 1989, rest added during President Obama’s last two years in office) to the citizens of this old soldier/cop/mercenary’s community while serving as their police chief.
Soldier/Cop/Mercenary, Retired
A Soldier/Cop/Mercenary’s Confession/Lessons Learned
* Soldiers (ground combat soldiers, that is) do not fight first and foremost for their country, the flag, motherhood, girls back home, or apple pie! Before all else, soldiers engaged in ground combat fight for their fellow soldiers and their unit. Why? Because in every war/police action/whatever including WWII the strategies and tactics adopted by mostly incompetent/corrupt military and civilian managers (notice I said managers not leaders) were/are designed to maximize the profits of the military/industrial/political complex with little regard for the those personnel charged with employing the same. In short, the American soldier has been/is nothing more than a “mercenary” since 1969 with the creation of the “All Volunteer Army (VOLAR)”.
* The Seven C’s of Leadership according to a survey of 1646 Vietnam era ground combat veterans listed of the order of their importance (according to the vets) are; Candor, Competence, Consistency, Commitment, Courage, Compassion, and Courtesy. The reason the soldiers in the survey chose the word “candor” is because to them candor encompasses both omission and co-mission. To a combat soldier lack of absolute candor, be it co-mission or omission, are equal sins! In short, soldiers expect/demand absolute candor from their leaders before all else. Note: The democrats have proven they are masters of co-mission, while republicans have proven they are masters of omission!
* The American people are the most effectively lied to people in modern times thanks primarily to politicians, bureaucrats, academicians, and the media.
* Arrogance plus ignorance equals stupidity (A + I = S).
* The greatest threats to the American people are the corrupt and/or incompetent politicians/bureaucrats/academicians found at every level of government/academia, and the majority of the American so-called media.
* The American Profession of Arms and our brothers/sisters in the Blue have failed to protect the American people from all of their enemies, both foreign and ‘most especially’ domestic.
* There are only two primary requirements to be a career soldier and/or cop in America. One must be smart enough to do the work and dumb enough to take the job.
* American soldiers and police officers must in addition to mastering all of their professionally mandated tasks learn to accomplish the same with at least one arm tied behind their backs and their vision impaired 50% or more.
* Far too many of the politicians, bureaucrats, academicians, and media types I have encountered during my years as a soldier/cop/mercenary I most kindly refer to as; self-serving, witless, cowards. Note: I originally referred to the aforementioned folks as; “Self-serving, witless, cowardly, pissants!” After retiring to the deep woods I dropped pissants once becoming acquainted with the little guys; in that I learned pissants are not self-serving nor witless, and certainly not cowards!
* After carefully watching the whole of the political class since May of 1960, I can say without reservation that most of the group will sell their souls and our bodies just to remain in power.
* Want to see what the United States of America will look like if the left takes control of the government? Take your pick: New York City, Baltimore, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, or the complete packages; California, New York, Illinois, etc, etc, etc…..
* If the so-called Progressive movement continues unchecked a number of able veterans are going to be presented with a challenge/decision. Are the American people worth another drop of our sweat and/or our blood?
* The end goal of the elites and their minions is not (nor ever has been) socialism, communism, or capitalism. The elites of world have used all manner of ideologies, religions, terrorism, brute force, etc. to drive the masses/peasants/serfs/whatever in one direction. That direction leads to one of the oldest forms of human control ever employed in the history of mankind. That form of human control is Feudalism!
Soldier/Cop/Mercenary, Retired
PS The following is for you Americans who still can control you levels of sensitivity/anxiety in the face of the real threats/actions that are going to bring this nation to its knees. All of the lessons learned above (save the last three, which were added during Obama’s last two years in office) and those listed below were written for the prelude of a book titled: “Rape, Pillage, Plunder; America You’ve Been Had!” (After Obama was elected to his second term I added; “And It’s Your Own Damn Fault!”). The book has not been published in that the Department of Defense has denied four requests to publish the same due to classified information they claim is in the book. That so-called classified information primarily deals with the number of politicians and bureaucrats sitting at the federal, state, county, and city levels during the Carter years who made the list of subjects in an investigation of the international drug trade and money laundering. Three of those politicians went on to be President of the United States of America.
Interesting that Mr. “never-Trumper, I was at the Sea Island meeting) Cotton is now all show for the cameras…is something up with Cotton? He and Jordan remind me of Trey Gowdy with ALL talk and ZERO action. And what will come of this? Please allow me to answer for ya…NOTHING
Cotton thinks we’ve forgotten what he did. We haven’t. Yes, he’s up to something. We’ll know what it is when we see it.
Strangely, I’m noticing ‘Forbes Breaking News’ posting a lot of content that would be contrary to the left/liberal agenda they have. I assume that Forbes Breaking News is part of the same corporate entity as Forbes. I find this…..interesting.
Setting the ground work for when they have to blast the administration for the soon-to-be very high corp taxes, increase on unrealized cap gains…stuff like that.
what sides would you like with your chicken dinner?
bingo and spot on.
Yes, soon the “administration” will be taxing fantasy, imagine that.
As a tax professional, I have a hundred questions as to how this could possibly work without being an utter and complete disaster, which it will be.
Events are taxed (earning money, buying and selling, investing, Realizing Gains, etc.), taxing unrealized capital gains is taxing something that literally does not exist.
They will use this to outright steal everything we own, because, as we all know, sooner or later the scheme will trickle down from the wealthy to the average joe – just as the Unconstitutional income tax did – started off as a tax only on the “wealthy”.
This evil idea MUST BE STOPPED in its tracks.
100% agree. It’s a nightmare reading to happen.
Forbes? As in Malcolm? Speaking of (rumor only) being into kids . . .
“Capitalist Tool” ring a bell, anyone?
To me, the problem with the questioning by Senator Cotton is that it is nebulous. Senator Cotton did not press Mr.Garland to give a real answer to some of his questions. For instance, why did not Mr. Garland apologise to the family? Not a big deal to say I am sorry we vilified you because you were justifiably infuriated over the behaviour of the school board. But he did not, and Senator Cotton did not ask him twice. Senator Cotton could also have pressed Mr. Garland to rescind his memorandum – the feds have no business in local, state run government. With all the talking and accusing the thing still stands as far as I can see. It would seem to me that the parents as citizens have a right to refuse entry to the feds. The last thing we need is the the DOJ-NSD making dossiers on which citizens want to get rid of their local school board. Jeeez.
there are many problems that exist in congress. they simply lack power to watch over and POLICE the actions of the DOJ for instance. Especially now that the dems hold the house and senate.
specifically, there is a time limit that is enforced by the chair. The “witness” Garland KNOWS this, so he will “dissemble” and slow walk his jackwagon answers to eat up as much time as possible to delimit Hawley and anyone else from actually digging deep.
Imagine if you were a board member of a major corporation. Or just a small business owner. Or a state prosecutor. You think you would feel obligated to stick with just 5 minutes, or 15 minutes of time to cover a significant issue?
I spend more time making my morning coffee than they people spend actually discussing serious issues of national weight!
You can be absolutely CERTAIN that garland and his jackals spend enormous sums of money, time and resources planning and executing some of these lawless actions!
but there is only 5-15 minutes max to address them by “oversight”!
Congress…where status quo and arm waving is the dominant feature.
Of course, if they were serious about the problems, instead of essentially filming election commercials, they would pool their time and let the most efficient questioner use all the time.
Somehow, this outrage needs to break through to a broader media. None of my moderate Dem friends have heard anything about Loudon County, or “Garland’s” directive targeting parents.
DOJ-NSD sounds very much like Nazi Germany’s Gestapo…And the hypocrisy of the Dems calling Trump voters Nazi’s.
Yep. It is called Projection.
And when our side calls the Dems out on their Projection, the Dems scream that we are Projecting. For the Commie Dems Hypocrisy is a feature…..not a flaw.
Garland is just another lying miscreant that is appointed like FJB to be blamed but not held accountable. DC is a cesspool of miscreants. These hearings mean nothing. The media will continue to sound bite and disinformed the people.
…and sir, what’s up with Merrick?
F that Cotton dude who stabbed us in the back on the election scam.
He’s eyeing the POTUS desk. Not this term though.
Guaranteed
I think you’ll find that none of the cabinet positions have any real power, like their figurehead president, the powers rest in the deputies. You can see this in Garland’s cluless, Muller-like performances and the fact that 14 members of the cabinet are travelling to the eco-junket in Glasgow, whilst problems abound at home.
It’s a Potemkin administration, just a facade and I think people are becoming more aware of this fact.
So, is Mr. Garland a Harvey Weinstein Democrat or a Jeffrey Epstein Democrat?
Also, I would ask any Democrat friend the same question. Ask if they support Democrats because of immigrant low wage work slavery or immigrant child sex slavery? Ask them how many rape tree panties they are personally responsible for. These folks have no shame in their private lives and should have to answer in public for all these things. Ask them if that creepy dude the family knows should be able to follow little cute cousin into the bathroom? Thanksgiving is coming up – make it interesting!
Speeches!!!
I shudder to think of Garland ever being so close to being on the Supreme Court!
I can only echo Senator Cotton’s comment. THANK GOD MERRICK GARLAND IS NOT ON THE SUPREME COURT.
What a POS!!
I’m sure that evil snake known as Lisa Monaco stayed up all night coming up with twisted scenarios in which she could target Conservatives with Federal crimes. Fellow snake-in-the-grass Garland seemed stuck on telephone and internet. They left out “driving across state lines to threaten a school board member”. You can bet your last dollar that when an angry parent has sufficiently berated a school board member over brainwashing their kids, the FBI will “Roger Stone” them, with CNN nearby, with SWAT teams, helicopters, tanks, artillery, bazookas, etc. in a pre-dawn raid. That’s how they operate now.
What a cowering weasel Garland is!
?year=2016&h=550&w=1050&s=9f60c310d7daee71e08098fc5e76e633994a40fc0802ce6d72b5cc30387c7638&k=ZQJBKqZ0VN
So good to see Republican having balls now that their back in the minority with absolutely no power.
Hearings. Investigations. More hearings. More investigations.
They hold hearings and investigate things until the next crisis. Then they start holding hears and investigations on the next, and the next and the next. Nothing really comes out of them, other than a report from one side condemning what happened and a report from the other side repudiating what was claimed. In the meantime, nothing gets fixed, no one ever faces consequences. Just distractions from what they are all (both sides of the aisle) skimming – be it power, cash, fame or feeding their egos.
we need them all thrown out, and start over.
I would definitely say that Senator Cotton hit one out of the park there.
Unfortunately, it went foul.
do comments you make at the conservative treehouse ever disappear?
Wonder if it is possible for Congress (the House) to defund the NSD? That’s how we finally got out of Vietnam Congress defunded any expenditures for the war.
Garland to paraphrase, under questioning by Senator Tom Cotton, ” I didn’t mean what I said. I didn’t mean what I wrote. I didn’t mean anything
by my actions. I didn’t, I didn’t I didn’t. I donlt know what anyone else under my charge did either. ” Really?
This dude ought to have said “Mea Culpa. I lust for divisiveness and seized on the very first opportunity I have found since being Anointed into this LAME D*Ck regime. I don’t want to go down on this “Titanic” mockery of a government “without leaving my pissmark.”
“I was just shuffling my chair as the ship goes down.”

* The American people are the most effectively lied to people in modern times thanks primarily to politicians, bureaucrats, academicians, and the media.
* Arrogance plus ignorance equals stupidity (A + I = S).
* The greatest threats to the American people are the corrupt and/or incompetent politicians/bureaucrats/academicians found at every level of government/academia, and the majority of the American so-called media.
* The American Profession of Arms and our brothers/sisters in the Blue have failed to protect the American people from all of their enemies, both foreign and ‘most especially’ domestic.
* There are only two primary requirements to be a career soldier and/or cop in America. One must be smart enough to do the work and dumb enough to take the job.
* American soldiers and police officers must in addition to mastering all of their professionally mandated tasks learn to accomplish the same with at least one arm tied behind their backs and their vision impaired 50% or more.
* Far too many of the politicians, bureaucrats, academicians, and media types I have encountered during my years as a soldier/cop/mercenary I most kindly refer to as; self-serving, witless, cowards. Note: I originally referred to the aforementioned folks as; “Self-serving, witless, cowardly, pissants!” After retiring to the deep woods I dropped pissants once becoming acquainted with the little guys; in that I learned pissants are not self-serving nor witless, and certainly not cowards!
* After carefully watching the whole of the political class since May of 1960, I can say without reservation that most of the group will sell their souls and our bodies just to remain in power.
* Want to see what the United States of America will look like if the left takes control of the government? Take your pick: New York City, Baltimore, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, or the complete packages; California, New York, Illinois, etc, etc, etc…..
* If the so-called Progressive movement continues unchecked a number of able veterans are going to be presented with a challenge/decision. Are the American people worth another drop of our sweat and/or our blood?
* The end goal of the elites and their minions is not (nor ever has been) socialism, communism, or capitalism. The elites of the world have used all manner of ideologies, religions, terrorism, brute force, etc. to drive the masses/peasants/serfs/whatever in one direction. That direction leads to one of the oldest forms of human control ever employed in the history of mankind. That form of human control is Feudalism!
Soldier/Cop/Mercenary, Retired
PS The following is for you Americans who still can control you levels of sensitivity/anxiety in the face of the real threats/actions that are going to bring this nation to its knees. All of the lessons learned above (save the last three, which were added during Obama’s last two years in office) and those listed below were written for the prelude of a book titled: “Rape, Pillage, Plunder; America You’ve Been Had!” (After Obama was elected to his second term I added; “And It’s Your Own Damn Fault!”). The book has not been published in that the Department of Defense has denied four requests to publish the same due to classified information they claim is in the book. That so-called classified information primarily deals with the number of politicians and bureaucrats sitting at the federal, state, county, and city levels of government during the Carter years who made the list of subjects in an investigation of the international drug trade and money laundering. Three of those politicians went on to be President of the United States of America.
The excluded lessons learned are: Sorry, I have ‘chickened out’ and omitted four of the lessons learned presented in 1989. If any of you are interested in reading the same just send me a self-addressed envelope with a note from your doctor stating you can handle high levels of stress. I know, many of you think I am also a coward.
Quite the dog and pony show.
Where were these clowns under Trump when the DOJ was pulling the same crap?
This is one of the best Treehouse articles ever written. It’s importance cannot be overstated.
I didn’t agree the way the Republican handles Garland’s Supreme Court nomination. I felt it was shameful. I was embarrassed. After hearing Garland’s answers to these Republican Senators question I have a different opinion on the matter.
