Despite the obvious instructions to the FBI, Attorney General Merrick Garland previously gave testimony before congress denying that parents who attended school board meetings were being targeted by an FBI Counterterrorism task force.  However, today the House Judiciary Committee has received a ‘whistleblower complaint’ showing the FBI is indeed using the Counterterrorism Division as the tool to target parents.

The day before AG Merrick Garland testified to congress, the FBI instructed all national heads of the Counterterrorism Division to begin using internal tags to create a notification list containing the names of parents they considered to be domestic extremists.

Kyle Rittenhouse shot and killed Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber as he was being attacked by a raging mob.  Rittenhouse also fired on Gaige Grosskreutz as the attacker held a handgun toward him.  Prosecutors attempted to claim that Rittenhouse was a vigilante looking for a fight; however, the defense, and all video of the events, show all shootings were justifiable self defense.

The jury deliberations began earlier today with the defendant using a random lottery drawing of six names to exclude from the full juror pool.  The remaining jurors began deliberations immediately following the lottery cull.

Outside the courthouse a mob of pre-staged Black Lives Matter (BLM) and FBI supported ANTIFA agitators are shouting “no justice, no peace” – “if Kenosha don’t get it, burn it down,” and threatening to destroy the city if the jury does not adhere to their demands and convict Kyle Rittenhouse of murder.

While the FBI is supporting the activity of Antifa, according to local media, 500 national guard members are on standby to protect the city from them and the Black Lives Matter mobs.   The Rittenhouse trial sets the stage for an interesting conflict between the FBI jackboots and the Wisconsin National  Guard.

It is interesting how the city of Kenosha did not form a perimeter around the courthouse keeping the mob away from the steps.  There is a park across the street which was previously used for protests as the police guarded the building.  However, today, for some seemingly curious reason, the local authorities are allowing the protesting mob and their bullhorns to conduct their agitation activity on the steps to the courthouse.

Consider this an open discussion thread for issues and events taking place.

The Scottsdale Unified School District in Arizona was scrambling after a group of moms discovered that Board President Jann-Michael Greenburg was keeping secret surveillance files, a dossier of sorts, on parents and students the school board head viewed as a risk to the interests of the district.

In essence what the parents discovered was evidence their own school system was keeping creepy opposition files on the parents of students in the school district.

Parents gathered today to demand the removal of the Governing Board President Jann-Michael Greenburg, and the destruction of the Google Drive files filled with personal information, documents, and photos of about 47 people, including children.

Creepy Mr. Greenburg was removed, but not fired.

SCOTTSDALE, AZ — Jann-Michael Greenburg has been ousted as the Scottsdale Unified School Board president following controversy over a dossier of information he is accused of keeping on parents who were openly critical of the district.

The board voted 4-1 Monday evening to elect board member Patty Beckman to replace Greenburg as the president for the remainder of his term. Board members Zach Lindsay and Libby Hart-Wells called for Greenburg’s resignation, but Greenburg did not resign. Greenburg is still a member of the board, although stripped of the title of president. (read more)

Oregon Governor Kate Brown recently dropped all reading, writing and math proficiency standards for high school graduation, because she claimed it was unfair to “people of color” for them to have to pass tests in order to graduate {Go Deep}.  Expecting black, brown and latino students to comprehend math and write in coherent sentences is racist – or so goes the policy.   Governor Brown also mandated that masks continue be worn indoors and outside regardless of vaccine status (link).

Historically, there has been a solid argument that leftism is a mental disorder; at least the vast majority of those who espouse leftist worldviews do -indeed- appear to have some cognitive impairment the vast majority of non-leftist people do not relate to.   Slowly, as the years have progressed, it is now entirely possible to look at a person and predict their political persuasion.

This is Oregon Governor Kate Brown today:

This is not normal.  You cannot convince me these are stable minded people.  A person of reasonable mental disposition, particularly a person in a position of significant leadership, does not engage in behavior like this.

This is what weird people do.  I feel it is important to let people know where CTH stands on this type of behavior; I’m not sure why, but it must be said.  This is not normal… at all.

ABC always pairs with The Washington Post for their media polling [DATA pdf HERE].  It has always made sense for the deep swamp (DC Inc) to work with the intelligence PR firm of the Washington Post, as they attempt to prop up their politics.  Unfortunately, the results of the latest outlook look terribly horrible for their future.

Why does George Stephanopoulos have a case of the sads… “As things stand, if the midterm elections were today, 51 percent of registered voters say they’d support the Republican candidate in their congressional district, 41 percent the Democrat. That’s the biggest lead for the Republicans in 110 ABC/Post polls to ask this question since November 1981.” The economic outcomes from JoeBama policy are again crushing Americans, as only 29% of voters view the economy as good.

70 percent of Americans say f**k Joe Biden, things are not good.  The key factor is the economy.  With inflation soaring, 70 percent say it’s in bad shape, up from 58 percent last spring. Joe Biden’s approval for handling the economy overall is down to 39 percent. Fifty-five percent now disapprove of Biden’s economic performance. In terms of Biden’s job performance overall, a new low of 41 percent approve, while 53 percent disapprove; similar to his rating on the economy.

The Biden economic agenda is purposefully destroying America with massive inflation that is crushing the middle class. While the majority of Americans do not know the specifics of how the JoeBama policy is doing this, everyone can see and feel the outcomes…. and it is only getting worse.

“I of course accept the results. I want to congratulate Mr. Durr and wish him the best of luck,” Steve Sweeney said during a speech at the statehouse complex Wednesday. “It was a red wave” that took him out of office, he said.

Steve Sweeney has served as New Jersey Senate President since 2010, and was responsible for walking Democrat Governor Phil Murphy’s radical progressive agenda and totalitarian COVID rules through the Legislature.  However, the district voters had enough, dispatched him and replaced him with a truck driver who spent a little more than $2,300 bucks in the contest.

Against catastrophic outcomes, we have been pointing out how the people within the Biden administration are not incompetent; they know exactly what they are doing, and they are destroying the U.S. economic system on purpose.  All of their economic damage is by design, it’s a feature – not a flaw.

An example today is so demonstrative of that point, it’s almost a parody. Joe Biden’s nominee for the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), a branch of the Treasury Department that polices some 1,125 banks, is a communist ideologue named Saule Omarova. She is directly from communist central casting and literally from Kazakhstan in the former Soviet Union. Ms. Omarova graduated from Moscow State University in 1991, and Joe Biden nominated her for the OCC job in September.

Today, Ms. Omarova is caught on tape saying it is the intent of the Biden administration to use the treasury department to bankrupt oil, coal and natural gas companies. This is what happens often with avowed ideologues; they are so focused on their mission to destroy the U.S., they often just say the stuff out loud. WATCH:

.

The FIRST STEP in defending against this onslaught is to stop excusing it by saying they don’t know what they are doing, or any version of the incompetency argument. They know exactly what they are doing.

Last week in an event to promote ‘environmental justice‘, Kamala Harris emphasized the priorities of the Biden administration when she held an event to highlight how trees are racist.  This week Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg wanted to promote ‘construction and logistic equity‘ while emphasizing the priorities of the Biden administration, so Buttigieg declared that roads and bridges are racist.

TechnoFog has a good outline on the background of Igor Danchenko and the DOJ/FBI team effort to avoid undermining the Steele Dossier. {SEE HERE}  The accurate analysis ends with the following question, also posed by Sergei Millian: “Why was the DOJ/FBI covering for Danchenko“?

To my friends in the truth media, the answer is inside the information previously released {See Here} which we have covered for a long time; and which the righteous media (Mollie Hemmingway, Lee Smith, Kimberley Strassel, etc) are hopefully only a few weeks away from outlining.

The DOJ/FBI coverup, which included being purposefully blind to the 2017 Danchenko revelations, was not done to protect Danchenko. It was done to protect Andrew Weissmann and Robert Mueller.

Yes, the FBI and DOJ knew the primary subsource for Christopher Steele, Igor Danchenko, disavowed the material in the dossier and undermined it in January of 2017 and again in June 15, 2017, as everyone is noting.  Yes, despite that knowledge Mueller/Weissmann applied for a FISA renewal on June 29th.  However, there’s a date a year later, all the way into July of 2018, when the DOJ and FBI claimed that Danchenko was speaking truth in their affirmation to the FISA court.

THAT is in 2018.

Why would the same DOJ/FBI officials who knew the dossier was junk in early 2017 lie to the FISA court in 2018?

ANSWER: Because they were not protecting Danchenko, they were protecting Robert Mueller.

Quite remarkably yesterday, the affirmative action politician known as Kamala Harris advocated for the implementation of a social justice standard based on the lyrics of a 1978 rock song by the band Rush.   Yeah, this actually happened.

With a southern border in crisis, an economy in a state of chaos and massive inflation crushing the American people, Kamala Harris is worried about environmental racism and trees not getting enough social justice.  WATCH:

RUSH – The Trees

“There is unrest in the Forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the Maples want more sunlight
And the Oaks ignore their pleas.

The trouble with the Maples
(And they’re quite convinced they’re right)
They say the Oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light
But the Oaks can’t help their feelings
If they like the way they’re made
And they wonder why the Maples
Can’t be happy in their shade?
