Red states giving the boot to ‘woke’ firms seeking government business
More Republican-led states are refusing to do business with financial institutions that embrace a “woke” agenda on issues such as climate change, guns and other social issues.
It is part of a growing pushback among conservative elected officials against banks and investment managers that base business decisions and investment choices not on maximizing profits but on progressive views about environmental, social and governance issues or what’s known as ESG principles.
Notably, the ESG movement has major Wall Street firms putting the fossil fuel industry on the chopping block because of climate change, a move that could result in costly financial implications for energy companies, banks and taxpayers alike.
West Virginia was the first state to give some of the world’s biggest banks the boot, barring five major Wall Street firms — Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo and BlackRock, one of the globe’s largest asset managers — from doing business with the state. Citing the firms’ anti-coal policies or plans to divest from fossil fuels, the state will pull out tens of millions of dollars.
West Virginia is the second largest coal producer in the country, with coal and other fossil fuels accounting for the third-largest annual revenue source for the state, more than $750 million annually.
“You have your right to be able to boycott the fossil fuel industry, but we’re not going to do business with you. We’re not going to pay for our own destruction,” West Virginia Treasurer Riley Moore said in a recent interview. “They’ve weaponized tax dollars against the very people and industries that have generated those dollars.”
Corporate boards that follow ESG principles would note that coal is also the dirtiest fossil fuel and a significant contributor to climate-changing greenhouse gas emissions.
ESG stretches far beyond the environment to include fraught social issues like racial justice and the Black Lives Matter movement, gun control and LGBTQ issues. It also involves corporate governance issues including transparency and diversity measures such as imposing gender quotas for the board of directors.
The problem with ESG policies, said NYU Professor of Finance Aswath Damodaran, is that it’s “like nailing Jell-O to a wall” because they are based largely on what is perceived as good versus bad rather than set parameters.
“ESG advocates who complain about red states pushing back on ESG policies are like pyromaniacs complaining about how hot it’s getting.
You brought the fire into the game; you have to live with it,” he said. “The only people that win are ESG consultants, who make a hefty amount telling companies exactly what they should be doing.”
The head of RAF recruitment has resigned in protest at an “effective pause” on offering jobs to white male recruits in favour of women and ethnic minorities, defence sources have claimed.

They said the service was attempting to hit “impossible” diversity targets.

Washington Times Editorial – Solving Trump harassment
Only officialdom’s prosecution can stop the persecution
The pattern of politically driven justice has become sickeningly familiar: The Russiagate hoax, then failed impeachment No. 1 followed by futile impeachment No. 2. Next, the cover-up of potential criminality detailed on Hunter Biden’s laptop gives way to the made-for-TV Jan. 6 show trial. Push “play” to watch the next episode: the raid on the Florida residence of former President Donald Trump in search of classified documents. Officialdom cannot be expected to quit its vengeful compulsions until real justice serves it with genuine punishment.
The FBI officials and agents who planned and executed last week’s search and seizure at the Trump Mar-a-Lago estate belong to the very same FBI Counterintelligence Division that conducted the sham investigation of Mr. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign for colluding with Russia, according to RealClearInvestigations reporter Paul Sperry. And for their roles in the earlier, bogus scheme to frame the former president, those involved are under investigation by Special Counsel John Durham, he writes.
Accordingly, they should have been recused from any additional Trump case to avoid the taint of prejudicial motivation — but they were not.
Moreover, operatives allied with 2016 presidential race loser Hillary Clinton worked with Justice Department and National Archives officials, Mr. Sperry writes, to trigger the Mar-a-Lago raid as retribution for Mr. Trump’s sensationalizing of the 2016 email scandal in which Hillary narrowly escaped prosecution for mishandling classified documents. In Washington, there is no statute of limitations for vengeance.
Presidents have the prerogative to apportion archival records between personal and public use. Whether that privilege is recognized apparently depends on the president. Despite Mr. Trump’s authority to declassify documents, the FBI cites a possible violation of the Espionage Act as cause for raiding his home and confiscating a couple of dozen boxes. Among them, according to Trump lawyers, is personal material protected by attorney-client privilege that once seen, cannot be unseen. The FBI may have found a less-perilous method of wounding Hillary’s nemesis without using false claims to gain authorization to spy on him.
In glaring contrast, establishment favorite Barack Obama concluded his presidency and transported 30 million pages of administration documents to his Chicago library, according to the New York Post, with the promise to digitize them for public access. Did authorities examine each page for potential classification violations? Yet it is Mr. Trump who is targeted for criminal investigation.
“The FBI goes after Trump again, and this time, it has really blundered,” headlined a Washington Post op-ed by columnist Marc Thiessen. Indeed, the public is reckoning the raid as part and parcel of the serial legal abuse former president has suffered since throwing his hat in the ring for the White House.
Already a Politico/Morning Consult poll shows him widening his lead to 10 points over his potential 2024 Republican rival Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Americans hate persecution.
The FBI’s Mar-a-Lago raiders and their bosses deserve the presumption of innocence they haven’t accorded Mr. Trump, but it’s abundantly clear that officialdom’s obsession with harassing the former president will not cease until justice slams the jailhouse door on guilty fingers.
The first move of fascists over history, Lizzie, is to declare their opponents to be communists and thus treasonous non-citizens.

Poor dear is being ‘forced to choose’. The concern for the child is palpable.
Turns out you just had a dodgy curry and were not pregnant, rickw?
The child is non-viable, db. It won’t live.
Your complete lack of concern for the mother is notable.

No, I don’t get it – letting the public know there was a provision for continuation, that someone was in touch of all the facts, would be well received as being forward thinking by the government. He has a deputy, does he not? So why not have a provision to allow succession with someone who is in touch of the relevant issues on a daily basis?
How about declaring their opponents to be Russian assets?
Fact – Pinochet saved Chile.
The child is non-viable, db. It won’t live.
Your complete lack of concern for the mother is notable.
In the opinion of a single operator you dumb fuck. If the child is truly non-viable, then a miscarriage is the normal outcome.
No medical intervention and the mother is comforted with knowing she gave the child the best shot at life she could.
Depends on what body part you are looking at. Babies are pretty easy to find in the womb, usually. I had an ultrasound done on my knee a few weeks ago (torn meniscus) and it was essentially useless because there was too much swelling. So yeah, YMMV but they are very helpful in obstetrics.
Fact – Pinochet saved Chile.
Indeed, have been to both Argentina and Chile, the contrast is stark.
Michael Smith News. Sir David Smith read the notice of Goof’s dismissal on that fateful November day, 1975.
YMMV but they are very helpful in obstetrics.
Of course, but not infallible, correct?
But what if the mother is not comforted by the prospect of carrying a non-viable fetus to term, and would actually be traumatised? I guess you don’t care.
I’d hazard a guess that that particular mother would have had something more definitive than an ultrasound to confirm a diagnosis of the fetus lacking a skull. You are quite right that ultrasounds are fallible.
Their opponents often were genuine communists, M0nty, and there the problem lies. Exposed are both sides of a very nasty coin. Trying to enforce ‘progressive’ views by extra-legal institutional means, which we see happening now in the US, plus deplatforming opponents and denying free speech, is where you personally are at right now. That is the first step towards communism. The Biden administration and the faux ideology it stands for and hides behind (oppressive climatic cult stuff) to impose Marxist stuff stinks to high hell on so many counts and levels. So many in the US are screaming Wrong Way Go Back that it’s no wonder other ‘first steps’ are being mooted in the opposing direction. You and your side are playing with fire, M0nty.
Louisiana abortion law.
Acardia is one of those medically futile procedures allowed.
Fake news.
This is no different to hearing that someone has been in a near fatal accident and will likely die of their injuries. Under these circumstances, you provide whatever is necessary in terms of sustenance and comfort until they succumb. What is notable, however, is your disregard which you hide behind words like ‘non-viable’ and pseudo concern for the mother.
But what if the mother is not comforted by the prospect of carrying a non-viable fetus to term, and would actually be traumatised? I guess you don’t care.
Can’t you smell the bullshit in the story? If there was a real problem they would put her on weekly ultrasounds until the situation was entirely clear. A non viable child by definition hardly ever goes anywhere near term.
You’re arguing badly at the fringes, as usual.
How exactly does one know whether one is “white” or “ethnic”? Do you have to have a good photograph of great great grandpa, or a DNA analysis? Are Vikings ethnic? What about White Russians, are they white or ethnic?
“The child is non-viable, db. It won’t live.”
“non-viable”. My oh my, the Nazis used to say similar.
You’re in good company.
monty thinks abolishing the FBI is fascist.
monty tell me more about COINTELPRO and if Americans should keep the criminal, government toppling CIA.
I’d bet that it’s still coming along and it will be introduced by a Labor government rather than a Liberal one. Similarly, the RBA is now looking at digitising our currency, these two pieces of Big Brother control will probably be introduced simultaneously.
It matters not who lives in the Lodge, or what colour T-shirts their spruikers wear on polling day, the government is run by other people whom no one elected.
As an example, immediately after Labor won the last election it was announced that an investigation would be conducted into whether we really needed to order and pay for ten doses of the vaxx for every man, woman and child in Australia. This was not an election issue, neither Labor nor the Liberals mentioned this gross waste of public money in the run-up to the election, but it was apparently an important issue to the powers behind the throne.
Jane Halton (remember her) ran the inquiry and, of course, resolved that it was good and sound policy that we wasted millions (billions?) of dollars buying these drugs which will never be used.
Why was this inquiry run, it wasn’t an election issue for either party, someone somewhere wanted an exoneration on the public record (our secret Federal Health Minister?). Whoever these people are, they will continue working on the digital identity and digital currency and the elected government will push it through Parliament, and it matters not who forms government at the time.
Unsurprisingly, your analogy assumes the mother completely out of existence.
The fetus is 13 weeks old, so they most likely did do as you say. The situation is now entirely clear, most likely due to the results from an MRI.
You are trying to deny the story exists, because it upsets you that this barbarism is the direct consequence of the policies you support. Man up and face up to who your are, rickw. You want mothers like this to suffer and lack choice.
Cheney lost. Trump wins again. Sorry, not sorry, NeverTrump losers.
Twitter is saying Cheney will concede in a produced, stage managed setting to a friendly journo.
Not to a press conference as one would imagine.
The Cheney’s live in a bubble & can not exist outside of a bubble.
Time will tell if twitter is correct re the concession.
The mother and father are expected to provide the sustenance and comfort to their child. This is not difficult to understand.

With the added caveats along the lines of whistle blowers keep their pensions & are exempt from prosecution.
That would lead to a cannon ball run of swampies lining up to blab.
But it will never happen.
I have zero sympathy for Liz Cheney. You reap what you sow.
A classical propaganda technique, first developed by the Russian Marxists after the 1917 revolution, refined by the Nazis in Hitler’s Germany, and now, with the slavish subservience and co-operation of the American news media, being perfected by the Democratic Party.
It won’t work because it assumes the people being targeted are stupid. It won’t end in a utopian dictatorship of the proletariat, but with civil war — unless the revolutionary zealots are removed from power.
But obviously it can’t be a select committee like the original Church committee was.
Select committees now have zero legitimacy post the Jan 6th abomination.

I am sure that many letters to the editor in the early 1970s said much the same things about Watergate, Lizzie. They were wrong, and you are wrong. That is because the Republicans really are crooks, and the law enforcement officers who are working on the case are not communists hellbent on destroying the country.
m0nty
A couple of years back I mentioned a couple who had the awful experience of having a twin die at a quite early stage in the pregnancy.
They were given the option of removal of the dead baby (as extreme hazard to remaining bub), abortion of both (considered safest at that stage) or continuing with medical support until surviving bub was far enough along to be delivered (premmie, but not hugely so) along with the dead bub.
They chose option 3.
They have a happy little bub.
If they were “just clumps of cells” creatures like yourself they would have gone the baby mincing route.

it is now an offence for a parent to refuse to support their child’s request for medical treatment that will prevent physical changes from puberty that do not align with the child’s new gender identity, and it is also an offence to deny their child access to any health care services that would affirm that identity.
And in case any parents thought they could seek counselling for their children outside Victoria, the Act now makes that an offence too.
When her father went to the school to get his distraught daughter it took him two hours to convince her to come home to her family, while she sat clutching a rainbow lanyard with the pronouns ‘they/them’ which had been given to her by the school.
During this time a private counsellor she’d been seeing was texting her encouraging her to leave her parents, telling her they were unsafe, and she needed an immediate safety plan and warning her not to let the sexual assault overshadow her gender issues.

This being decided at a state level is a good thing.
Might get to Bills idea of “safe, legal, and rare” state by state instead of a shonky lump of legal fiction that tried to be authorative but was decried as bad legal reasoning even by RBG.
Roe v. Wade, in contrast, invited no dialogue with legislators. Instead, it seemed entirely to remove the ball from the legislators’ court. In 1973, when Roe issued, abortion law was in a state of change across the nation. As the Supreme Court itself noted, there was a marked trend in state legislatures “toward liberalization of abortion statutes.” That movement for legislative change ran parallel to another law revision effort then underway-the change from fault to no-fault divorce regimes, a reform that swept through the state legislatures and captured all of them by the mid-1980s.
No measured motion, the Roe decision left virtually no state with laws fully conforming to the Court’s delineation of abortion regulation still permissible. Around that extraordinary decision, a well-organized and vocal right-to-life movement rallied and succeeded, for a considerable time, in turning the legislative tide in the opposite direction.

Until the Republicans get in office again and make the ban national.
And if they were stupid enough to do that (as opposed to removing public funding for abortion clinics) they would be dead cert to lose the next election and the law would be overturned.
Not to mention they would have Buckleys of enforcing the law as it would certainly be resisted state by state by any ‘blue’ legislature.
So by forcing the decision to ban/approve etc to as low a level as possible any changes to state or federal legislation actually has a political consequence.
This should lead to a moderation of policies and sidelining of 100% extremists on both “sides” to the margins.
A great outcome.

They were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it.

Poor old mentally defective m0nty.
Even assuming that restrictions on abortion did “punish and subjugate” women, Dobbs didn’t prohibit one single abortion.
Dobbs just affirmed the bleeding obvious, that the Constitution of the USA leaves abortion laws, or the lack of them, to the democratically elected legislatures of each state.
Poor old shiteating m0nty is too stupid to read and understand a very straightforward and simple exposition of plain facts and logic. (That’s if m0nty is intelligent enough to understand that he’d actually need to read Dobbs to be able to comment on it.)

No, that isn’t the point. The ‘choice’ should never be between caring for the child and killing it.

Corey Norman’s rugby league career could be over, with the former Queensland State of Origin player being given a lengthy Super League ban for “inappropriate contact”.
Norman has been hit with an eight-game ban after being found guilty of intentionally placing a hand between the buttocks of Warrington’s Oliver Holmes during a match on Thursday.
The act was compared to similar offences by 1990s rugby league star John Hopoate, who became infamous for a similar act.
When the villain is caught and they tend to rail against the hero who brought them down.
Trump’s fans will love him all the more, and his enemies already hated him.
Will anyone really be sad about Cheney losing? The Democrats just used her as a patsy so they could pretend their excursions into tyranny were actually bipartisan positions and therefore no further restraint is required. They never liked or cared for her personally.
The other RINO’s will be more nervous because for all the muck being flung at Trump he seems to grow stronger, and will be feverishly trying to calculate how they might be able to save their own ample arses.
That was her fan base.

Defence News indicates that it’s specifically The Luftwaffe that are coming to play.
Anencephaly is one of those tragic, though remote, possibilities for parents. What would you do if the child you were carrying was, without doubt, a victim of this cruel condition?
I was all gung-ho about it, yapping on about brave parents caring for the child until it died, sometimes hours after birth. That was until my dear friend, to whom I was so self-righteously pontificating, told me with tears in her eyes that her daughter had to make the decision to terminate her pregnancy because of it. A difficult, heartbreaking decision.
The problem is that the rare instance is used as a benchmark for all terminations for whatever spurious reason up until birth.
No. She will be funded by the usual fascists to run as a third party candidate and split the Republican vote. or at least that will be the strategy

Cassie, if you’re about, do you know anything about Nomi Kaltmann, a 30-year-old Jewish mother of three and a former ANU academic and ALP apparatchik, who is resigning from the ALP to contest the November Victorian state election for the Teals? She sounds like a typical “educated” female who has succumbed to the climate doom religion.”
I don’t know her Tom however she sounds like one of those awful progressives…and let me tell you, there’s nothing worse than a progressive Jew. Is she going up against David Southwick in Caulfield? If so, then you’d want Southwick to win. Southwick is also Jewish. Again, this puts a lie to the Teals that the teals are “Liberals”. They are not Liberals, they are Greens.
Also, is Caulfield in Goldstein? I’d be interested to see the 21 May booth results from Caulfield, there’s a lot of religious Jews in Caulfield, many of whom aren’t enamoured of ex-ABC and Israel hater, Zoo Daniel.

Tonight, We Dance, The Insufferable Liz Cheney Has Been Crushed and Cast into The Trash Heap of History

LIZ CHENEY CRUSHED!
The Great MAGA King said once before, “out, get her out,… and keep her coat.”
The sanctimonious pontificating pustule of political pomposity has been lanced. Liz Cheney is cast out of congress by the voters of Wyoming. Always keep reminding the Cheney folks that it was the voters of Wyoming who threw her out (they hate that), and it wasn’t even close. Liz Cheney was rebuked.

Yes, Cassie, she is going up against Southwick in the state seat of Caulfield which, as you say, is the Melbourne suburban capital of Jewry.
PS: Because Melbourne has such a large Jewish community, Israeli state carrier El Al is about to begin regular non-stops between Melbourne and Tel Aviv using long-range Boeing 787 Dreamliners.
You would think that their constantly getting American politics wrong they would be a little more guarded in their commentary.
No, it was not. At lease not outside the ABC bubble. Well, perhaps the rest of the MSM was similarly deluded, but they really do not comprise as much of discourse as they think. The MSM seems to still feel there are four TV networks and three daily newspapers and no one in Australia can see beyond those walls.
They do love their dynasties, and really think politicians can bequeath their seats to others in their family like kings because that is the basis of rule.
The ABC detests conservatives. They have a ridiculous ill-informed caricaturish understanding of them. Yet they say that conservative describes Cheney’s voting record?
Yes, it’s part of Goldstein and the main drag for hardcore orthodox & Hasidim is Ripponlea, which is also part of Caulfield. David is a nice dude, My kid used to volunteer for him. I’m just guessing, but I can’t see the teal tarts doing well with this voter cohort.

Another Huge Red Flag in the Trump Raid Story
When he spoke to the media on Thursday, Attorney General Merrick Garland took offense to those who questioned the professionalism and integrity of the Department of Justice and the FBI.
“Let me address recent unfounded attacks on the professionalism of the FBI and Justice Department agents and prosecutors,” he said. “I will not stand by silently when their integrity is unfairly attacked. The men and women of the FBI and the Justice Department are dedicated patriotic public servants every day. They protect the American people from violent crime, terrorism and other threats to their safety while safeguarding our civil rights. They do so at great personal sacrifice and risk to themselves. I am honored to work alongside them.”
Well, Mr. Attorney General, if they’re so professional and full of integrity, can you explain why the Wall Street Journal apparently knows the contents of all the classified documents and supposedly “top secret” documents removed from Trump’s home and has apparently reviewed some of them?
“FBI agents who searched former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home Monday removed 11 sets of classified documents, including some marked as top secret and meant to be only available in special government facilities, according to documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal,” the outlet reported. “The Federal Bureau of Investigation agents took around 20 boxes of items, binders of photos, a handwritten note and the executive grant of clemency for Mr. Trump’s ally Roger Stone, a list of items removed from the property shows. Also included in the list was information about the ‘President of France,’ according to the three-page list. The list is contained in a seven-page document that also includes the warrant to search the premises which was granted by a federal magistrate judge in Florida.”
Gee, if these documents were so incredibly sensitive and secret that the FBI had to conduct an armed raid of Trump’s home in order to retrieve them, how come the press is allowed to know the nature of the documents?
These documents are apparently too sensitive for Trump to possess but not so sensitive that FBI agents can’t show them off to the media.
Southwick’s on a margin of 0.1%. He was out front of Coles in Glenhuntly Rd this week begging for attention.
He’s seen the recent redistribution that turns Goldstein notionally Labor.
He’s seen the State Teals.
He’s received many letters from traditionally Liberal voters who tell him in no uncertain terms that he failed to take a stand in the pandemic, and therefore he would go the way of Tim Wilson.
This is why he must fail.

The instruments by which Scott Morrison MP, was appointed to portfolios other than Prime Minister
From the Comments
– There was no additional remuneration involved, no constitutional law broken, no other laws broken.
The Governor General has confirmed that no constitutional law was broken, and that he would not have done what the PM requested if there had been.
But once again there is an example of the media pack and an opposition mode political witch hunt and that surely indicates that the Albanese Government is taking advantage of a diversion from the many serious issues they are now responsible for dealing with.
Listening to talkback radio comments, with some exceptions of people who are voices of reason and common sense, once again the lack of knowledge of Constitution, areas of responsibility and powers and generally poorly informed was obvious.
A group of us discussed the present general situation nationally and globally last night and that we are heading downhill and it will get worse as the left side of politics gains strength because voters choose that side, like dark greens now strengthened by pale greens and the two supporting Labor where most are leftists. And not leaving the Coalition out, many of those MPs are leftists, just not as far left as Labor and dark greens, about the same as the pale greens, and otherwise known as LINO left.
Victorian Cats should listen to the Great One & put all sitting members last.
Because it works so well in all other elections.
JC,
My vote either way will make no difference.
The way the wind is blowing is that Southwick is yesterday’s man after November, like 50% of the Liberal members will be, like Tim Wilson is.
The trend is your friend, as you’d know.
“PS: Because Melbourne has such a large Jewish community, Israeli state carrier El Al is about to begin regular non-stops between Melbourne and Tel Aviv using long-range Boeing 787 Dreamliners.”
Good news. That won’t make the Jew haters happy, I always love it when Jew haters are miserable.
Further to Jew hatred and Jew haters and the murder of Jews by terrorist scum, a hatred which one commentator here thinks is “legitimate”, it’s coming up to fifty years since the wholesale slaughter of innocent Jews at the Munich Olympic Games. I remember it well, I was a child, my whole family were glued to the television and I remember my father openly weeping. One of the murdered Jews was a young man named Andre Spitzer, he was a fencing champion. Andre was newly married with a young baby (a girl), his wife was Dutch. This morning, his widow Ankie was interviewed on Israeli television and she reminded people that the Germans had prior intelligence about the the attack (East Germany was intimately involved in the attack, helping their Arab friends) and what was worse, when Israel, desperate to save it’s men from certain death at the hands of the terrorist scum, was prevented from doing anything by the Germans. And what ensued? We all know, ALL the Israelis died.
I’ll stop there as I getting upset.

Thanks JC…..I know Ripponlea. The “Frum” won’t vote for a Teal.
You have to wonder (well, you don’t really) how much this debacle of the FBI’s doing is affecting other, legitimate operations. The effect on morale and credibility cannot be small. And especially as, the lower down you go, the more the agents are in contact with real people who are shaking their heads at clown parade.

Funny, I was on the way to the family business this morning and stopped to get a coffee in Ripponlea. There’s a nice place near the station. There must be a nice bakery in the strip as there were perhaps 20 people lined up to buy a loaf (I presume).

Want to Return to Normalcy? Defund and Dismantle the FBI
It’s time to stop pretending that the Federal Bureau of Investigation is not fatally compromised, that it is salvageable, that it has not terminally declined from its glory days of commie-chasing and cross-dressing into a collection of regime toadies eagerly doing its Democrat masters’ bidding. GOP, you need to stop equivocating and playing footsie with these mediocrities in bad suits. After you take the House and Senate, refuse to fund the FBI. Not one dime. This must all end.
The FBI has simply outlived its uselessness. It must be shut down, in disgrace, and those duties that remain necessary must be parceled out to existing or new agencies that do not share its shameful legacy. This remedy is harsh, disruptive, even scary – count on the FBI and its friends to not-so-subtly promise retaliation against those trying to turn it off like the astronauts when they tried to pull the plug on HAL 9000. But it has to be done. This cannot go on – every day, the politicized FBI does grave damage to the foundations of American democracy (though we’re actually a republic, but whatever).
It’s a big ask from a GOP caucus that can’t even put together the testicle collection necessary to defund the propaganda arm of the Chardonnay and Volvos set, NPR. For decades we have been pushing the simps and squishes in Congress to get done this bare minimum response to a federally funded airwave adjunct of the Democratic Party. They haven’t. But the sissy socialists on the radio are just a mere nuisance, while the FBI is an existential threat to our most basic liberties.
Hey, ho, the FBI has got to go.
Its Boston division was bought by Whitey Bulger and one of its agents went away for murder. Gee, Trump might have been keeping secret nuke papers in Melania’s undies drawer? How about Robert Hansen, whose spying for the Russians was hailed as “possibly the worst intelligence disaster in U.S. history?” It only took the Bureau a couple of decades to find the guy in their own office who literally gave the Russians every double agent in its ranks, but these gumshoes are all over that nefarious Trump!
And then there’s Waco and Ruby Ridge.
And say, how’s that Las Vegas investigation going? And what is with knowing about the 9/11 hijackers and pretty much every school shooter?
And what gives with framing some near-homeless ne’er-do-wells for trying to kidnap the Stepford gov?
And faking warrants based on a fake dossier?
But hey, if you took a selfie on J6, the FBI is all over you.
The GOP Congress must put the FBI out of our misery, the misery of normal Americans tired of incompetence and paying for a coterie of over-praised political hatchet-men doing the ruling caste’s dirty work.
But will the GOP generate the stones to do it?
Absolutely true JC. Not only her old man, but several Dem Congresspeople from other states asked their people to vote for her as well.

One stark data point in Wyoming: Cheney is winning Teton County, one of two counties in the state won by President Biden, with about 80 percent of the vote. It means many Democratic voters there crossed over to support her today.
