Today, FBI Director Kash Patel testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee who are conducting oversight of the bureau. The testimony comes as FBI Director Patel is under scrutiny for his personal indulgences as the FBI leader while individuals inside the institution seemingly retain a rogue internal outlook.
The testimony begins at 9:30am ET, with Livestream Links Below:

He treats everything as a personal attack even when it is constructive criticism. It is his blind spot and keeps him from seeing corruption.
Blind spot?
or
Premeditated defense?
Think he really meant well when he started. He now realizes the rot is systemic and just doesn’t see a way out.
Kash has been rotting before our eyes.
These are placeholder jobs for chumps issued a pretend steering wheel, sunglasses, crayons, a joint and a large desk.
Everyone of them: Sessions, Blondi, Mullin, Noem, Patel, etc. Placeholders in DS organizations. Barney Fife’s.
Blanche is true DS these others were just useful idiots.
Watching Cory Booker grandstanding and all but calling Kash a worthless piece of shit was anger inducing. Anyone who stays home on Election Day deserves a dunce hat.
I know this it the Senate Judiciary Committee … however … Jim Jordon stepped down from the House Judiciary Committee and removed himself from consideration for leading the House Oversight Committee.
While many may say “no loss’ or talk derisively of Jordon … in fairness he does have several REFERRALS still gathering dust at the DoJ … he did speak out and what actions has Speaker Johnson Taken to support him??
There is a something ominous coming and the House may not be so aligned to help the President. If nothing else, it is the start of a string of “Testimonial Hearings” to be conducted before November 2026 meant to embarrass and discredit the President.
May not?
I think that’s a given.
Aka … the Permanent Professional Loyal Opposition.
We can tell by their silence, which has been always said to be golden.
In their case, it is damning.
<We can tell by their silence, which has been always said to be golden.>
That’s right, dear Wordman…
All our eyes see only too clearly.
We’re conducting our own oversight.
“…talking is cheap, people follow like sheep…”
It probably is golden- for their personal slush fund.
The sad part is that I can actually see that happening.
Life was easier when I was completely ignorant of politics.
Sigh.
I agree.
I follow the Red Sox instead 😉
Ain’t that the truth….You talk to people and all you get is that 1000 yard stare….Ignorance is blis?
I don’t believe they need God’s help.
They’re doing a bang up job all by their lonesomes.
deliver us evil, give us our trespasses, and give our debts to our voters
scoundrels…
The money for them is in the minority. The power is in the majority for the democrats.
Perfectly stated.
This is the way the devil is worshipped.
The next time something happens as a result of a Jordan hearing will be the first time.
So, what actions can Jim Jordan take, if the DoJ does not act and he is not supported by the Speaker of the House nor House Rules (See Nancy Pelosi 2018)???
Oh ya, go to the media … well he has and what has that accomplished without any backing???
His appearance on the media have also dwindled.
It is true that Jordan, et al, can only refer someone to the Department of Justice for prosecution. After that, it’s out of their hands. People tend to forget that when, as is so often the case, no criminal prosecution follows upon the revelation of criminal activity.
He’s been a craven coward since his oath of office.
I’m at a loss to determine why that is Jordan’s fault. The legislative branch has zero LE or judicial authority.
The most that he can do is make criminal referrals. Taking action is up to the doj.
I have (maybe wrongly) lumped Jim Jordan in with the Rooster Gowdy; all talk and no action. Maybe JJ is tired of no action by others. I do know I have read here in comments disappoint with him, making fun of him.
There is so much negativity in comments these days. Doom rolling downhill gathering steam.
Going forward, I am not going to add to the low morale here. We need to fight fight fight!
FR, amen to that!!!
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
ACTION ACTION ACTION
VOTE, VOTE, VOTE
I don’t think the problem is due to MAGA citizens not fighting.
We’ve been doing nothing else but making our voices heard and fighting, Lorrie.
And while we carry on doing both, I think it is the most natural thing in the world to be as frustrated as we are.
And say so.
It’s a morale thing Lorrie. Consider the fight to be against words that can possibly cause some folks to think “it just doesn’t matter…why try?”
I won’t argue, I am just tired of negative comments, my friend. I read your comments and Betsy’s and respect both of you and would hug both of you if I saw you…(Hope ya’ll would hug back…”
I’m long distance hugging you right now, sis 💕
Hope you can feel it….
The talented people in the House gain leverage over others thru shrewd use of power. Jim Jordan has known all along that nothing will result from any of his efforts.
Demoralization tactic before midterms.
My co-worker would always tell me when I was feeling down, “the Devil wants you to be hopeless and despairing, God wants you to be hopeful and ready to fight the good fight.”
Isn’t ‘demoralization’ part of a plan for genocide?
There is something profoundly peaceful about a sunset. No matter how difficult the day has been, the sun eventually begins its descent. The noise seems to soften, shadows stretch across the earth, and the sky becomes painted with colors that no human artist could completely reproduce. For a few moments, we stop what we are doing and simply look.
Perhaps there is a message in that.
Every sunset announces that something has ended. Another day has passed that will never return. The successes, failures, arguments, disappointments, laughter, tears, worries, and struggles of that particular day are now behind us. Yet the sunset does not merely announce an ending. It quietly carries a promise—the darkness that follows will not last forever.
David understood this beautiful rhythm of sorrow followed by joy:
“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” — Psalm 30:5 KJV
Think about those words. God never promised that there would be no night.
He promised something better: the night would not have the final word.
Some Days Are Harder to Let Go
There are seasons of life when the sunset feels different.
When we are young, sunsets often mean tomorrow. There are seemingly endless days ahead—places to go, people to meet, families to raise, careers to build, adventures to experience.
But eventually we begin looking at sunsets differently.
We realize how quickly the years have passed. Children grow up. Parents disappear from the dinner table. Friends we thought would always be beside us are suddenly gone. Our bodies remind us that we aren’t twenty years old anymore. Things that once seemed tremendously important somehow don’t matter nearly as much.
And we begin asking different questions.
Where did all those years go?
Did my life matter?
Did I love enough?
Did I forgive enough?
Did I know God—or did I simply know about Him?
Scripture acknowledges just how quickly our earthly lives pass:
“For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.” — James 4:14 KJV
A vapor.
For those of us who have lived many decades, those words become increasingly understandable. Looking backward, sixty or seventy years can somehow feel like yesterday.
But the Christian’s Sunset Is Different
For the person who belongs to Jesus Christ, the approaching sunset of earthly life is not the approaching end of existence. It is the approaching end of this part of existence.
Jesus gave His disciples one of the most comforting promises ever spoken:
“In my Father’s house are many mansions… I go to prepare a place for you.” — John 14:2 KJV
My conclusion?
You will never loose when you’re on Gods side…So stay cheerful and hopeful!
“There is so much negativity in comments these days. Doom rolling downhill gathering steam.”
Truth!!!
I keep thinking the negative comments come from plants, especially new ones. But the more I see, the less I think that.
I deliberately read and watch what feeds my optimism. Biased? Heck yeah. I also learn some really interesting things.
I thought it was he’s termed out as chairman efff Jan 2027, and will not seek to renew that chair.
Jordan has seen the power of controlled corruption for many years and its commanding dominance over rightousness. He is spent, likely believing the fight is unwinnable.
Imagine “leading” the FBLie—ugh!
Please, Lord, please, will someone ask him how many FBI inbeds were at the Capital on January 6, 2021?
Didn’t they already admit to sending a couple hundred fbi into the Capitol to infiltrate Trump’s supporters on January 6?
I think so–reluctantly, after as much obfuscation and mendacity as could be managed.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/fbi-bombshell-274-agents-sent-to-capitol-for-j6-many-later-complained-they-were-political-pawns/ar-AA1Nkyhx
274 reported by none other than MSN, knew I saw it somewhere.
psh, all i wanna know is how much he can bench press, and where his girlfriend is shopping, these days.
thats the part that matters.
What I want to know is how many inbreds work at the FBI?
Say what you want our effdup country has no oversight or accountability.
“Patel is under scrutiny for his personal indulgences…”
That was part of his payoff. Why are they acting surprised?
That Senator Kennedy from Louisiana’s line of questioning is outrageously moronic.
0.o
He seems to have abandoned his usual shuck and jive routine and assumed a Nervous Nelly persona.

couldn’t stomach it – what was the topic?
Nasty topic not fit to repeat in decent or mixed company.
Go watch it for yourself.

i think i will believe you and pass anyway. i aint THAT curious. 😉
Conducting “oversight”??
I don’t believe so…
This close to the midterms?
Each committee member will use his or her opportunity to pose, preen, and campaign for the ” folks” back home.
Their five minutes of “moral” outrage and self glorification.
Just as with the members of every other “oversight” committee.
(See the billion$$$$ in fraud achieved right under their noses.)
They could be doing oversight on why so much fraud in Medicaid (Illegals collecting all of the money). How about oversight of offshore money accounts of the thousands of NGOs using tax exempt status to increase our taxes so they don’t have to pay taxes.
Or tax exempt Churches taking political payments and preaching politics from the pulpit. The Mosques all do it and everyone knows they do.
They could and should be, annie….but that’s too much like hard work. And Ive come to believe none of them have the wit to do it.
As for the Churches?
They do not serve God.
And that’s just a fact.
If Christ were to become Himself manifest in their midsts, I’m convinced He would turn over table or pew in sight.
Congressional soundbites to be used in re-election commercials.
Members of Congress must have a bet among themselves to see which one can tell the public the most lies. My money is on Thune.
Not a hearing.
It’s a election campaign clip generator, pretend work, and senate time waster. Everybody in the room is worse than worthless.
People get sideways about Thune, but Thune is the paid punching-bag. It’s all 53 of these GOP senate assholes. They could replace Thune in a day if they wanted to. They don’t want to. They are ALL doing what they know has to be done. Trump has to be stopped. Now they want your vote in 8 weeks.
Yup, Grassley was right in there with the “holding the senate hostage”. When they kept IT in session so no recess appointments …
What do they do? to get them (rinos) hooked/inline.
Drug them, take pictures of them with who knows what… how do they do it.
Are the lobbyist showing up with knives?
Please tell us.
Grassley works for the huge corn ethanol lobby and gets paid handsomely … he doesn’t work for you or me. He is a metaphor for the rest of congress.
You would think a 92 year old guy, in a moment of quiet, might reflect and have some sense of regret, remorse or repentance … Not… All that moolah keeps him pumping and is gonna save him in the end.
burning our food… it is probably MOD tho
Back to living the good life 😉
D.C. is a headache
Making negative work. It is what bureaucrats do.
What a joke he has turned out to be…gov gangsters! Indeed!
Patel walked into a burning building at the FBI. He knew it was burning before he took the job. He also knew what the deep-state had on him to keep him in-line before he was sworn-in. That being said, what has he done about open-air election fraud? What has he done about domestic terrorism and the groups and money behind it? What has he done about exposing the total lie of J6 where people’s lives were destroyed by a corrupt government agency(s)? What about the multiple Trump assassination attempts and the murder of Charlie Kirk? Lone gunman crap? On and on we could go.
Trump picked these people. Blonde lasted 1 year before he canned her useless ass. Patel has lasted longer than I thought he would, but Trump will be forced to fire him at some point soon. Trump said it during his campaign: “this is our last chance to save America”. Only Trump is working to do that. Everyone else is screwing the pooch and crossing days off the calendar until the crazy old man is gone.
Every government agency in existence today, including the Judiciary, is a burning building. The SC ruling yesterday proves to me they want Democrats to cheat in the election.
The Republicans are going to be smoked in the mid-terms. Lack of action speaks louder than words. The voters of the MAGA movement know that Donald Trump is not working to save America. He and the RINOs who infest his administration are as much to blame for this situation as are the GOPe Republicans in the Congress.
Since Donald Trump is AWOL from his 2024 promises, those of us who have been in the MAGA movement for more than a decade have to ask this question: Who out there has what it takes to replace Donald Trump as the acknowledged leader of the MAGA movement?
i recognise some the old fossils in the front row, but who are those arab looking plonkers in the 2Nd and 3rd rows?
LOL, they keep the front row in-line
Plonkers….!!??
That just seemed like the correct usage of a never-heard before word. Good one.
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/plonker
Ya know…if ever we get to talk to the learned/s congress critters….we Treepers would be sending them to Meriam Webster, every few minutes, due to our illustrious vocabulary and diction!
I had to look it up…but yes!
Just added plonker to my vocabulary. Thank you!!
Grassley is in his 90s and the rest of the mental giants up above Patel are not far behind. It is such a waste of everyone’s time and energy.
This hearing stuff is THE ONLY thing any of them ever want to do. They seem to think attacking a Republican head of any Bureau is their job. Why do we put up with this charade decade after decade? Communism is worse I know but this seems like Communism called Republican form of Government.
They all agree with each other behind closed doors. If they don’t agree they will not be there for more than one term.
McTurtle made an appearance at the Senate. Cue the Led Zeppelin song, “Dazed and Confused.”
Guy belongs in a Hospice Ward. Despicable.
One big negative about modernity is that it is no longer acceptable to offer Mitch McConnell up as a human sacrifice to appease the gods.
I think the gods would be offended
Could SOMEBODY please ask him about Ray Epps? Was he an informant? If so, for whom? I thought we’d get the answer to this on Jan. 21, 2025.
How can you claim oversight when you are clueless about what is happening within the FBI on a day to day basis?
It is well known that it is the Senator’s aids that actually write the questions and remarks. We discovered this in the past when several aids were actually mouthing them as the Senators were delivering them.
I mention this because of the lower picture of them sitting behind their Senators. They have very sour looks on their face. It does not bode well if these are the people who really run the Senate for the lobbyists.
…And K Street lobbyists write the bills, pay someone to take it to the floor….
It may not be popular to say this, but there have been a string of good results from the FBI lately. If you watch the news conferences you know this. Investigations take time and whomever sits in the Directors chair as a Republican is going to face a tsunami of resistance.
Ask Kash why didn’t he assign FBI Agents with the teams of ICE Agents in Minneapolis when ICE was being attacked daily by ANTIFA.
The FBI has 20,000 Agents so what other were they doing that was so important?
20,000 agents for a population of around 320 million something citizens. Hmmm! 🤔. When you think about it, it is a little overwhelming to be expected to do miracles.
Well . . . a decade ago . . . before PDJT came down the golden escalator . . . the FBI had to track about 1,000 known terror-planners they were attempting to monitor.
Thank you mass-LEGAL-immigation!!
Now add in all the increase in sleeper cells due to the “Team Biden” open-borders-NGO-industrial-illegal-migration schemes.
Even if we could make the eph bee aye an honest organization, simply coralling the sleeper cells would be a yuuuuge task for them to accomplish.
Be safe.
Antifa and BLM are both domestic terrorists groups protected and likely funded in part by the US government (USAID and such). Expecting the FBI to go out and undercut one of their partner agencies is unrealistic.
Whose words is Blumenthal reading? Why is he perspiring so much?
He did mention he’d been to Ukraine ELEVEN times… for what purpose? I sense he’s panicked… what is he so concerned about the American people KNOWING about him and his fellow distracters, accusers, and grifter$ ????
He’s spent more time in the Ukraine than he ever spent in Vietnam!
0.o
Money laundering????
Are you incinerating that he laundered money in Vietnam, too?
LOL

Vietnam, where my hub by did 2 tours of duty. He didnt want to talk about it nor do I.
You and most treepers have read here about little z and money changing hands.
Just saying IMO
🙂
You asked about money laundering after I brought up the Blumenthal Vietnam scandal (wherein Blumenthal falsely laid claim to having served in Vietnam).
If you don’t want to talk about Vietnam, why are you talking about Vietnam?

“He’s spent more time in the Ukraine than he ever spent in Vietnam!”

You’re still talking about Vietnam.

no comment…bill
It appears not much has changed since the late seventeen hundreds, at first glance this appears to be a more recent quote …
“The spirit of 1776 is not dead. It has only been slumbering. The body of the American people is substantially republican. But, they have been the dupes of artful manoeuvres, and made for a moment to be willing instruments in forging chains for themselves.”
— Thomas Jefferson
Then Jefferson said in 1824, “I think we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious.”
And that was only 36 years after the ratification of the Constitution.
It’s been said that the Democrats are the express train to socialism and the Republicans are the walking trail to the same destination.
It’s been a long “moment” and we’re still waiting for America to return to its founding republican roots 250 years later … 🤔
Topics raised during questioning by some shaky old guy who is impersonating Adam Schitt:
Sealed indictments
Brennan’s subpoena
Election Oversight characterized as ‘election interference’

Shaky old guy’s name is Welch or something like that.
Krash asked him^ how his net worth increased by 4000% since he’s been in the Senate!
LOLOLOL

Okay, either someone has shuffled the name placards in front of the senators’ seats or some of the senators don’t know how to find their assigned seats.
Corey Booker’s placard says “Mr Padilla”.
Booker’s voice is particularly high pitched today.

Yes, Krash is doing an outstanding job of it!
Hilarious, too!

What is Cornyn snorting on his fingers or is he picking his nose? Smelling his breath? Saw something brown on them and wondered what it smelled like? What’s going on?
Single ply??
They should know better in DC.
.
Has he been digging in the dirt?
How else does brown gunk get extracted via nose picking?
Let’s face it, he has always been a POS.
It’s showtime!
I question why it was necessary to have this hearing so close to the midterms.
Reason #1-The DemonCrats want to make a Trump appointee look bad to demoralize MAGA voters. It increases the odds that the Dems take back the House and Senate.
Reason #2-The RepubliCons want to make a Trump appointee look bad to demoralize MAGA voters. It increases the odds that the Dems take back the House and Senate. The Repubs never wanted the majority in the first place. They will gladly continue to accumulate filthy lucre through graft.
Hope that helps.
Didn’t even know he was still on the job
exactly. I thought I missed the headlines that said he was fired by Trump. I guess not. There must be more beer to guzzle and skirt to chase with the FBI private jet…….
BLAH,BLAH, and BLAH
yeah, and? all show and no blow, like this years hurricane season
Ignore all of the huffing and puffing and blathering. It’s meaningless.
Vote in November. Vote Republican even if the Republican on the ballot is a turd. We cannot let the Communist left take over Congress.
Pray for record turnout on the MAGA side. Pray for a GOP victory. Pray for God to give the GOP courage and wisdom in opposition to the Communist Left.
Pray continually.
Mr Big Talking Pastel knew before he was shoved into the “Seat” he was never gonna do anything he spewed prior.
What “Indulgences” has Pastel been consuming ?
Millions from Oligarchs like Chris Wray received ?
Unlikely
Amy Klobuchar sure did give one heck of a campaign ‘speech’. sheesh Can see right through that.
More than she’s said in Minnesota since she announced her run for Gov (even though she doesn’t want the job).
problem is, the voting machines in MN can’t. They do what they are programmed to do. She will easily win.
More theater.
I watched a little bit this morning. Cory Booker should check into a mental health facility.
Fast forwards from January 2025…weren’t we “Treepers” thrilled’ with Patel as THE choice?
It did not seem to take long to show us who he really is.
Patel hardly gets any attacks from the media. He’s so lame they are not even bothering.
they know the deep-state has a very tight leash on him. More fruitful Trump people to vilify. I bet they have some real stuff on this guy. So much for vetting candidates…..
” … the deep-state has a very tight leash on him ”
tight leash?
deep-state?
The ‘deep-state’ ‘tight leash’
was associated with growing, and high crime rates under bran done etal.
Correct?
The current law and order enforcement system has reduced crimes, a lot.
(not sure that one should give the deep-state, d c, or media by saying there is a ‘tight leash’
any credit for those continued
FBI efforts regarding our public safety )
Aug. 2026, Patel said:
President Trump, thank you for backing law enforcement.
Thank you for funding law enforcement.
Thank you for loving law enforcement.
Thank you for relentlessly pursuing the mission of justice with the warriors of justice.
Across this country, the men and women of law enforcement love you.
And that is why we are seeing these historic results around the country, to include a
20% drop in the national homicide rate, to include a
20% reduction in drug overdose deaths,
to include violent offenders seized from around the world.
This FBI has led the charge to
arrest eight of the Top Ten Most Wanted fugitives on planet Earth in the last 16 months under President Trump.

Sept 15th, 2026
https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/fbi-director-kash-patel-testify-senate-panel/
Ten of the Top Ten Most Wanted fugitives
(so now, there is a new Top 10.
With bran done etal, was there any change in the top 10? )
imho
imho
Patel etal are effective,
and the c-dem media seeks to avoid letting the public know.
(because that could infer a positive about Trump etal)
Some may miss characterize the c-dem media not shedding light on truth, or not attacking Patel as Patel being ‘lame’.
(but it is because the c-dem media knows that crime is down, and they are afraid to give it attention via giving credit, where credit is due….
[ not the helpful people are looking to be made famous, or get noticed. ] )
Being effective is good.
Love thy neighbors…
This really pisses me off. The Senate just gets back, and this is what they proceed to do? Seriously. This is what they choose to do? Shouldn’t they be Passing, lets say some Bills perhaps? WTF is going on in our Congress. They are letting the DEMS take over?
this is your GOP. The senate can be more bold about what they do, so they flip-off Trump with both fingers in the air 24×7. He can’t do a thing about it. He has to keep his mouth shut. The house has to rely on the senate not to pass what it has to pass so they can keep their jobs.
It’s all theater. Thune gets slammed, but it’s all the GOP senate and nearly all the GOP house. Yes, it’s that bad. They hate Trump beyond what we even know.
Why do you all sound like a bunch of democrats? https://x.com/ConstitustionX/status/2099959765904580840/video/1?s=46
It’s all about creating, maintaining, and conveying facade.
Both substantive and physical appearances.
To manipulate “we the people”.
On the physical appearances:
What’s the deal with the facial hair kept at 2-week beard length on top of the suit and tie? It looks disheveled and unkempt, triggers subliminal sympathetic face and neck itching in men, and the clash with the dress clothes is unsettling.
Is that the point – some kind of psyop? More debasing of the office, as part of a trend led by Presidents debasing the office of President, especially the previous and current one?
Or is it simply narcissist vanity? – e.g. https://thebeardclub.com/blogs/beard-culture/beard-guard-lengths and the zillions of other web postings about beard vanity.
VP Vance is another example. Just looking at him triggers itchy face feelings.
Seeing as I only have time to gather news info from here and a few different tidbits from my podcasts, I forgot Kash even existed. I think 2 podcasters sang his crime numbers for 5mins a piece yesterday. All arrest stats, nothing else.
When voters get a few years of watching Republicans work, they vote Democrat.
When they get a few years of watching Democrats work, they vote Republican.
Can someone tell me what exactly you’re hoping for here?
“The testimony comes as FBI Director Patel is under scrutiny for his personal indulgences as the FBI leader while individuals inside the institution seemingly retain a rogue internal outlook.”
FBI Tweaks Anti-Bestiality Hiring Policy, Senate S***show Ensues

I am not posting any excerpts, or pic links for this one, so be forewarned. Contains the “F” word, etc.
Just another reason to abolish the FBI…..
