[FoxNews] Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., contends Democrats have a stake in digging for more details about the FBI breaking its own rules to probe elected officials, political candidates, religious organizations and the news media.
The FBI conducted an internal audit, a highly redacted version of which came to light earlier this month, that found 747 "compliance errors" across 353 separate cases in the category of "sensitive investigative matters." The bureau acknowledged the 2019 audit findings were "unacceptable."
While the FBI has faced increased scrutiny in recent years for alleged politicized investigations into former President Donald Trump, the problems apparently are much broader and likely go beyond the report, said Biggs, a member of the House Judiciary Committee.
"It possibly includes information about the surveillance of candidate Trump and later President Trump. But this is almost 750 compliance problems in 350 cases," Biggs told Fox News. "The next step is to call on the committee to have a hearing on this. If I was in the majority, I would want to get to the bottom of this. I suspect this conduct goes back for multiple administrations and has been an ongoing problem affecting members of both parties."
Biggs signed onto a March 21 letter with the House Judiciary Committee’s ranking member Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., to FBI Director Christopher Wray requesting an unredacted copy of the report, documents referring to or relating to the audit, an explanation of whether the FBI resolved the matters and a description of the FBI’s predicate to open investigations into politicians, religious groups and others named in the audit.
Biggs said, as of Thursday, he has not received a response to the letter of inquiry.
He added that if the Democratic-controlled House doesn’t investigate the matter and is unwilling to compel production of documents and testimony from the FBI, then a new Republican House majority will be ready to investigate and hold hearings in 2023.
[DailyWire] On Thursday, President Joe Biden took questions from the press in Brussels, Belgium, after meeting with the G-7 alliance to discuss the Western world’s response to Russia’s continued invasion of Ukraine. Biden confirmed speculation that food shortages caused by the war in Ukraine are going to impact much of the world in the year ahead.
“It’s going to be real,” Biden said at the news conference in reference to food shortages. “The price of the sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia. It’s imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well, including European countries and our country as well.”
At the same time, “fertilizer prices have also seen more than their fair share of volatility as the war in Ukraine disrupts supply chains and alters demand,” he added.
“Russia, which supplies roughly ten percent of all fertilizer for American farmers, no longer allows such exports to the United States,” which adds to the problem, Phillips explained.

"It's going to be real"
Was this lost in translation?
Or did his brain stop functioning when he mumbled "real..." -- perhaps he meant "real[ly] cool, man"? Or "really lucrative" for his family?

This will be expanded in apocalyptic terms and when we have to pay 40% more for food, Joe will take credit for saving us from the famine ravaging everywhere else.

Didn't also say something along the lines last year that the unvaxxed were going to suffer and die in great numbers during the winter?

What are we going to do if 10 million hungry people show up on the border? Seriously, how would we deal with that when they just keep coming? Hungry people who can't feed their kids are dangerous, and million and millions of them know the way since their relatives are already here.

Hungry strangers beating on my door or trying to break into my house are in a dangerous situation too...

With BLM fading they need another source of riots to distract the proles.
"Beasley was keen to stress that it is not just a migrant crisis that Europe is running the risk of with the ongoing food crisis. The former Republican politician painted a picture of mass unrest in Africa, Europe, and the United States as a result of the ongoing crisis.
"What do you think is going to happen in Paris and Chicago and Brussels when there’s not enough food?” he asked. “It’s easy to sit on your high horse in your ivory tower when you’re not the one starving.”

#9 That is a question from hell, and I sure don't have an answer. But if we had a rational government the first thing it would do is to preserve (or reestablish) our ability to determine who enters and who dosn't.

Well, the riche in those places will either leave (they can afford to and will always be welcome somewhere with their money) or stick it out to the extent that's possible. The bulk of the urban populace will do what? Leave on foot? Thumb a ride? Catch a bus or train? To where? When the SHTF you can bet non-urban areas will suddenly rediscover the joys and necessities of stringent anti-vagrancy laws. And it won't matter if the local political class and LE authorities are woke. If they want to remain in their positions, they will quickly discover that responsiveness to the demands of their constituents are hard to insulate themselves from.

How do you suppose the Open Society types, WEF types and gerbalists will respond to that? We'll hear a lot of caterwauling about how preventing unregulated migration across borders is rayciss and so forth. Will we see, for example, blue helmeted UN "peace-keepers" breaching border fences or engaging in fire fights with border patrols? How long would the UN be able to remain headquartered in NYC if we had a US gummint that didn't dig that sort of activity?

The complete fencing of the border with Mexico seems an imperative now. In the pre-Reagan era, the USBP actually had use of force protocols that included deadly force to stop suspected illegals, though rarely needed or used. The volume of entrants not caught was small enough that interior enforcement by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement held serious incursion numbers in check. Today, when enforcement is actually used at all, its mostly tackle football, if anything. It has become a flood of millions a year now, and they are filling urban areas to overflow, with rural spill over growing rapidly, visit any food bank, school cafeteria feeding large families or emergency room to see the proof of it. Since even non-lethal force at the border is almost impossible to contemplate in current political realities, only the physical barrier offers any immediate hope of preserving what is left of American sovereignty. We are rapidly being bled dry of remaining wealth by tolerance beyond all reason by demokrat elites who have no concept of real privation or want. But it is coming, hard, if they dominate our political system much longer.

Putting his descent into end-stage Trump derangement syndrome aside, George Will made one incisive observation back in the day: Leftists see history as a ratchet rather than as a cycle or pendulum. Leftist aims, once achieved, can never be undone. That is why the left is on an obsessive mission to erase history. The past does not exist, only the deeply flawed and unjust present and the Glorious Utopian Future™ that only leftist policies can provide. What they do not bargain for is a future that involves a descent into a new dark age, Heinlein's "bad luck" or a spin of the cycle or swing of the pendulum that brings the exact opposite of what the left desires. We got a taste of it with Trump and given the right circumstances could get a bigger taste of it again. Imagine the diametric opposite of open borders, a legal system run for the benefit of criminals and rampant wokeness. Unlikely? Don't bet on it.

You know, we have this place called the American Midwest that grows LOTS of food. Any non-counterproductive government policy (I know. But a boy can dream.) would take advantage of this gift and assure enough food for us.

We don't need the globohomos on the coasts. The interior of the US has everything an advanced economy needs. Fresh water, rich farmland, oil-gas-coal, hydroelectric power, advanced manufacturing of nearly everything, world-class huge public research universities with tons of STEM talent, the best medical facilities in the nation (Cleveland, Mayo Clinic, UTSouthwestern, Anderson in Houston etc).
Screw Biden and the climate change globalist nutjobs. Let the coasts fend for themselves

The Chinese own 1/3 of American pork production.
As we saw once Covid hit, owning things on the far side of the ocean is easy. During troubled times, actually getting the owned stuff delivered as contracted can be problematic. Tit for tat and quid pro quo, sauce for the goose, reap what you sow.... so many ways to sat that China ought to consider its next steps carefully.

Hutchison Whampoa (Chinese firm) “operates” the Panama Canal as I recall. They also are involved with the Suez authority but not to the same extent. Handy for the Chinese BRI project
[NYPOST] The Beau Biden Foundation for the Protection of Children raked in $3.9 million in 2020, but spent only a fraction of that on its purported mission to help kids, The Post has learned.
The Delaware-based charity, which was started in honor of President Biden’s late son, got an infusion of $1.8 million from the Biden Foundation before that group shut down in 2020, according to the charities’ latest tax filings. The Biden Foundation was started by Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. S Joe's wife and daughter weren't killed by a drunk driver. He didn't graduate with three or even two degrees, wasn't in the top half of his law class, and his daddy didn't come home from a hard day's work in the mines and play football with the guys. The NAACP hasn't endorsed him every time he's run.... and his wife, Jill Biden, to champion "progress and prosperity for American families."

And most likely those programs are the ones where kids are trafficked across our southern border and flown in unaccompanied in the dark of night to various cities.

$544K spent on children / $3.5 mm income = 15.5% Quite an admirable record.

Beau was another crack/cocaine head (my gawd, what a f'ed up family).
But if the fire pits in Iraq gave him the cancer that killed him, then that is f'ed up on a different level (as a mensch).

I posted a long narrative of my troubles with the boost here a couple of weeks back
I know that CMS knew the side effects and sent me emails daily asking about mine and my side effects were exactly the same as the selections they offered to me
They know what the side effects are
[JustTheNews] Sounding ever more a candidate seeking the White House again, former President Donald Trump on Saturday night attacked Democrats as a party of “socialists and communists” so extreme that they chose a Supreme Court nominee who “can't even say what a woman is.”
“A party that's unwilling to admit that men and women are biologically different in defiance of all scientific and human history is a party that should not be anywhere near the levers of power in the United States," Trump told a raucous rally in rural Georgia.
In a 90-minute speech, Trump also rallied Republicans to get behind gubernatorial candidate David Perdue and football star-turned-Senate candidate Herschel Walker and to defeat incumbent GOP Gov. Brian Kemp.
“Before we can defeat the Democrat socialists and communists, which is exactly what we’re running against at the ballot box this fall, we first have to defeat the RINO sellouts and the losers in the primaries this spring,” the former president said, using his favorite acronym for Republicans in Name Only.
Trump’s speech was far-reaching, touching on everything from the transgender movement’s push for biological males to compete against females to Vladimir Putin, who he said was “smart” but made a major miscalculation invading Ukraine.
"That's a hell of a way to negotiate, put 200,000 troops on the border," Trump said of Putin. "That was a big mistake, but it looked like a great negotiation. That didn't work out too well for him."
But America’s 45th president saved some of his sharpest words for President Biden’s Supreme Court nominee, Judge Kentanji Brown Jackson, seizing on a moment in her confirmation hearing where she declined Sen. Marsha Blackburn’s request to give a definition of a woman.
"The left has become so extreme that we now have a justice being nominated to the Supreme Court who testified under oath that she could not say what a woman is," Trump ssid. "If she can't even say what a woman is. How on earth can she be trusted to say what the Constitution is?"
Hours after President Joe Biden said Russian President Vladimir Putin "cannot remain in power," Secretary of State Antony Blinken made clear the United States does not have a plan for regime change in Russia.
"I think the president, the White House, made the point last night that, quite simply, President Putin cannot be empowered to wage war or engage in aggression against Ukraine or anyone else," Blinken said Sunday during a press conference in Jerusalem.
"As you know, and as you have heard us say repeatedly, we do not have a strategy of regime change in Russia or anywhere else, for that matter," he said.
Julianne Smith, U.S. ambassador to NATO, also reaffirmed Sunday that the U.S. is not pursuing regime change in Russia.
[AnNahar] U.S. Rep. Jeff Fortenberry of Nebraska was convicted on charges that he lied to federal authorities about an illegal $30,000 contribution to his campaign from a foreign billionaire at a 2016 Los Angeles fundraiser.

Fortenberry was charged after denying to the FBI ...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of.
