FBI bulletin warns of 'dirty bomb' threat and increasing calls for 'civil war' in wake of Mar-a-Lago raid - while former agent and GOP Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick says agency warned him that his 'life was in danger' due to threats from Trump supporters
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Why would people bother to threaten the honourable congressman from Bucks County, PA?
  • GOP Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick urged lawmakers on both sides of the aisle not to jump to conclusions on the FBI's unannounced search of Mar-a-Lago

  • He said he checked in with several former FBI colleagues to see if 'they were okay' amid Republicans' verbal attacks on federal law enforcement

  • Fitzpatrick suggested the new DHS and FBI bulletin was a top concern

  • It highlights an increase in targeted, violent threats against officials including the federal judge who signed off on the Mar-a-Lago warrant

#1  This is the Swamp. Compromised government agencies continuing to create false flags to justify their coming disruption of the elections to prevent the election of a Republican Majority in congress from investigating and shutting the scam down.

#2  Baiting
The FBI and Pelosi's Antifa were minglingmingling with the Jan 6 crowd to orchestrate chaos. People are in prison now who attended the Trump rally.
The FBI raided Trump's home like thieves in the night to motivate MAGA political violence.
Peter Paul Strzok II, a former FBI agent worked out to blame Russian interference in the the 2016 Presidential election resulting in the impeachment of Trump by Pelosi's House of Representatives.
There has to be a concerted, effective effort on the right to deal with this left wing Stasi and their tactics in order to eliminate this attempt at establishing tyranny.

#5  Wray is the Director of the FBI.

The Deputy Director is Paul Abbate who's career was mostly spent in the Counterterrorism Division.

In 2012 Mr. Abbate was the FBI on-scene commander in Libya when the American Embassy in Benghazi, Lybia was attacked and over run resulting in the deaths of Deaths US Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and USFS officer Sean Smith. An attack FBI Deputy Director Abbate failed to anticipate.

He would be the liaison between the FBI and General Mark A. Milley domestically as an alliance against any domestic threat Joe Biden's illegitimate Presidency and political opponents.

#26  My military service did not involve a keyboard.

The FBI has taken a desperate action to recover something from Trump that they think is dangerous to themselves.

I don't think they got what they are looking for as they seized a bunch of cell phones afterward. They are now within 90 days of the election and can take no further action. They have subpoenaed Trump's video to prevent him from releasing the evidence of them being stupid.

My military thinking tells me to maintain discipline and allow the enemy to destroy themselves. Trump is up 10 points, and the next inning is likely to involve Jim Jordan leading an investigation.

#28  SH,
It is certainly your right to think and speak as you do. However, I urge you to consider legal, peaceful action. People must take notable action.
Waiting is the wrong answer.

#29  Sloluse Slutle9788, please consider the possibility that, unless you know all the others in the discussion personally — that is to say off the internet, at least one of them is either a paid agitator from the FBI or similar trying to get people to say the kind of thing they can be arrested for, or a Russian/Chinese/Romanian boiler room troll trying to demoralize people.

Think Ray Epps on January 6th or the FBI informants who pushed the plan to kidnap Michigan Governor Whitmer, or whatever her name is.

I am absolutely not arguing that you and they ought not be angry. I’m just asking you please, please be very careful what you say, where, and to whom. Now is not the time to indulge in anger, no matter how justified, but to very coldly calculate what best to do, and how, and when.

GOP wants answers on IRS' $700K ammo stockpile as Dems OK $80B for agency enforcement


[NYPOST] Congressional Republicans want to know just what the Internal Revenue Service intends to do with the $700,000 worth of ammunition it recently added to its 5-million-round stockpile — as Democrats voted to give the agency $80 billion for stepped-up enforcement.

"If the Department of Justice will politically target President Trump and raid his home, I can assure you that the current Administration is willing to target his supporters," Texas Rep. Michael Cloud told Fox News.

Cloud and 30 other House conservatives, including Mo Brooks of Alabama, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Louie Gohmert of Texas and Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, wrote to IRS
...the Internal Revenue Service; that office of the United States government that collects taxes and persecutes the regime's political enemies...
Commissioner Charles Rettig Friday to express concern that the agency’s new muscle, passed on a party-line vote as part of the Dems’ Inflation Reduction Act, "will be used to scare and threaten law-abiding Americans."

#4  It's all the Right's fault. I blame them. They had years to do unto the Left what they shoulda known was going to be done to them. Even if, by some miracle, they come to power, even DJT or DeSantis whatever, they still won't. No, they'll take the high 'constitutional' road. And they'll be impeached for racism or 'me too' or just twenty-fived for fcuk's sake! By the entrenched Islamists, by black power types, the mobocrats, by unhinged neocons prodded by the LSDs. LSDs who just deserve to be dragged out of their beds in the night, bundled up in black vans and buried en masse.

Using AmmoSeek.com pricing, and $700K divided across Federally used Ammo calibers.

It would get about 2.1 Million total rounds of Ammo.
Yep! the IRS will be well ammo'd ???? to collect taxes?????

Maybe the LSD's will reinstitution of the politically abused "POLL TAX" and the IRS will be there to collect as you vote.

But then again, we could just ask the LSD's what happened to the estimated 250M rounds that Obama purchased, to keep it out of the citizenry hands.

Google "Obama Ammo Purchases" for a loooooong list.

Sinema took Wall Street money while killing tax on investors
[AyPee] Sen. Kyrsten Sinema
...Dem senatrix from Arizona. She began her political career in the Arizona Green Party and rose to prominence for her progressive advocacy, supporting causes such as LGBTQ rights and opposing the war on terror. She left the Green Party to join the Arizona Democratic Party in 2004 and was elected to a seat in the United States House of Representatives in 2012. After her election, she joined the New Democrat Coalition, the Blue Dog Coalition and the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, amassing one of the most conservative voting records in the Democratic caucus. She won the 2018 Senate election to replace the retiring Jeff Flake, defeating Republican nominee Martha McSally. Sinema is the first openly bisexual (meaning she's not particular) and the second openly LGBT woman to be elected to the House of Representatives and to the Senate in 2012 and 2018, respectively. She also was the first woman elected to the Senate from Arizona....
, the Arizona Democrat who single-handedly thwarted her party’s longtime goal of raising taxes on wealthy investors, received nearly $1 million over the past year from private equity professionals, hedge fund managers and venture capitalists whose taxes would have increased under the plan.

For years, Democrats have promised to raise taxes on such investors, who pay a significantly lower rate on their earnings than ordinary workers. But just as they closed in on that goal last week, Sinema forced a series of changes to her party’s $740 billion election-year spending package, eliminating a proposed "carried interest" tax increase on private equity earnings while securing a $35 billion exemption that will spare much of the industry from a separate tax increase other huge corporations now have to pay.

The bill, with Sinema’s alterations intact, was given final approval by Congress on Friday and is expected to be signed by President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. We get to suffer the consequences. So does Afghanistan, aka Biden's Bungle...
next week.

Sinema has long aligned herself with the interests of private equity, hedge funds and venture capital, helping her net at least $1.5 million in campaign contributions since she was elected to the House a decade ago. But the $983,000 she has collected since last summer more than doubled what the industry donated to her during all of her preceding years in Congress combined, according to an News Agency that Dare Not be Named review of campaign finance disclosures.

The donations, which make Sinema one of the industry’s top beneficiaries in Congress, serve a reminder of the way that high-power lobbying campaigns can have dramatic implications for the way legislation is crafted, particularly in the evenly divided Senate where there are no Democratic votes to spare. They also highlight a degree of political risk for Sinema, whose unapologetic defense of the industry’s favorable tax treatment is viewed by many in her party as indefensible.

#2  This works both ways. Wall Street is likely to give money to politicians trying to kill a tax on investors. They like to keep like-minded folks in power. It's a chicken and egg situation if she has any kind of track record on opposing this sort of tax.

#3  The more they talk about taxing the wealthy, the more the wealthy spend on pols for loopholes and exemptions. It's just another form of 'shake down'. The money for the professional pols is not in their salaries or that of their office budgets, but in the 'reelection' funds that they can covert to personal money when they retire or move on.

Swalwell takes a break from Chinese spies to post warning for those 'aboard the Trump Train'
[BIZPACREVIEW] U.S. Rep. Eric I farted on national television Swalwell

His district covers most of eastern Alameda County and part of central Contra Costa County. He was rapidly eliminated from the 2020 Dem nomination pool. He looks a lot like Greg Marmelard, and has the distinction of being one of the few politicians to ever fart on national teevee...
has been on the warpath this week accusing Republicans of stoking violence in the wake of the Mar-a-Lago raid and is warning those on the "Trump train" that things are going to get ugly."If you’ve been aboard the Trump Train the last 7 years, you’ve been given an unexpected stop. Time to get off. Wherever you think this is going, it’s not. Trump stole Top Secret documents. He’s put a target on the backs of cops. This is getting ugly. Don’t be in the wreckage," Swalwell warned.

Not only is this the guy who allegedly slept with a Chinese spy, he’s also the one stirring the pot after the FBI
...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time...

Mar-a-Lago raid gave Trump a 10 Poll Bump UP
A well-earned Thank-You to the
Dept Of Justice Government Activities
and their Hand Picked Operatives.

BTW: Trump should pick DeSantis as his VP running mate.

[BusinessInsider] The Mar-a-Lago raid gave former President Donald Trump a 10-point boost over possible 2024 rival Gov. Ron DeSantis among Republican primary voters, further widening his already significant lead, according to a new poll.

The POLITICO/Morning Consult poll was conducted on August 10 — after federal agents searched the Florida property on Monday, but before Friday's unsealing of the search warrant and property receipt revealed that the FBI seized 11 sets of classified documents.

The poll found that 57% of registered voters would back Trump if he chose to run and if the Republican presidential primary were held that day. That's a four-point increase on the 53% who said they would vote for the former president last month, per the POLITICO/Morning Consul's July 15-17 National Tracking Poll.

Meanwhile, DeSantis, who could be Trump's fiercest competition should they both choose to run, dropped from 23% to 17%. The events of this week, albeit without the revelations of the unsealed search warrant, gave Trump a 10-point boost over DeSantis.

#1  The Politico poll looked at broader questions as well, leading to this:

More registered voters approve of Mar-a-Lago search than disapprove

The results underscored continued partisan divisions surrounding the former president, even as more respondents supported Trump running for the Oval Office again in 2024 than supported Biden.

Results varied widely by party: 69 percent of respondents who identified as Republicans thought the search was politically motivated, compared with 11 percent of Democrats. On the other side, 81 percent of those polled who identified themselves as Democrats saw the search as related to evidence of a crime, compared with 16 percent of Republicans. Independents were also more likely — by an 11-point margin — to say the search was due evidence Trump committed a crime than due to outside political motivation.

#4  Frank, I suffered from an overpowering urge like Tourette Syndrome to make my Michelle joke. It was intimidating to see that the only comment had hit the third rail.

#5  Hmmm... I didn't do that, and have lost track of what was blasted.

#6  I had speculation about what might have been dropped. It involved Elizabeth Warren and furry costumes. I erased it as a public service. I am sure that Cholutle isn't that warped.

#7  Dr. Steve called him drunken-voice-to-text guy, Super Hose. I really wish he would post sober, because I would love to know what he’s actually thinking versus the confused nonsense that ends up on the screen.

Socialist NY Senate hopeful missed 46% of community board meetings
[NYPOST] A progressive who touted the need for accountability as she vies for state Senate was a no-show for her Queens community, records reveal.

Democratic socialist Kristen Gonzalez, who is running in a district that spans Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan — rarely attended Community Board 4 meetings during her 2018-2022 tenure.

Attendance records show Gonzalez missed 46% of CB 4’s meetings in that time, a figure which constitutes “substantial nonattendance,” according to the board’s code of conduct.

During her time at the board, which covers a swath of struggling Queens neighborhoods including Corona, Elmhurst, Newtown, and LeFrak City, Gonzalez missed:
  • An April 2020 discussion about securing pandemic relief by naming the CB4 area a “disaster zone” as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

  • A June 2019 meeting, which included a once in half-century vote on rezoning in LeFrak City.

  • In December 2018 a mandatory training from the city’s Conflict of Interest Board.

Community board votes are advisory in nature, but nevertheless carry weight among city agencies and officials.
