[FoxNews] 'I am an intelligence officer, and I am a man who likes to wear women’s clothes sometimes'
That’s nice. What you do in your off time is your business, so long as you don’t break any laws or scare the children. Just understand that it is exceedingly unprofessional to discuss private activities at work — or with anyone uninterested in joining in.
The executive arm of the U.S. intelligence community, which includes the CIA and several top military spy agencies, recently circulated a diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) newsletter that features a secret agent who reveals he is a cross-dresser.
I suppose an intelligence community would need to know if any of its people engaged in blackmailable activities, or might be otherwise persuaded to associate with questionable persons, like the two lads showing off before their little internet friends, but boasting about it is unseemly.
According to a Fox News Digital review of the document, the internal newsletter, The Dive, highlighted several left-wing initiatives and was circulated throughout the U.S. spy apparatus by the Intelligence Community Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility Office.
It is housed in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), a Cabinet-level position that oversees the intelligence community. The document's theme is "the importance of words," focusing on ways spy agencies can be more inclusive.
[Blaze] Pollster Frank Luntz warned New York Attorney General Letitia James that she is "going to elect Donald Trump" if she goes through with seizing the former president's properties.
James — a Democrat who campaigned on the promise that she would go after Trump — brought an unprecedented civil fraud case against the former commander in chief, which resulted in him owing penalties and interest in excess of $450 million. Trump has until Monday to pay it off, or James said she will start seizing his properties.
During a CNN panel discussion Thursday, Luntz predicted that James' attack on Trump will ultimately backfire on Democrats:
[Breitbart] A documentary on Gen. Mike Flynn, former President Donald Trump’s National Security Advisor, will pop in late April featuring in-depth interviews with Flynn, Tucker Carlson, and more.
The documentary, titled Flynn: Deliver the Truth Whatever the Cost, will come out on various platforms in late April.
The documentary’s trailer, obtained exclusively by Breitbart News ahead of its public release, includes a snippet of a Flynn interview for the film and viewers can hear Carlson — the former Fox News host who now runs the Tucker Carlson Network where he produces major shows and conducts massive interviews — making it clear that when Trump hired Flynn he was the “most dangerous” person to the deep state. That, Carlson says in the trailer, is because Flynn “knew exactly how the system worked, he knew exactly what the intel world had been up to, and he understood its funding.”
Trailer can be seen at the link.

Flynn was an 18 hour per day guy. Always pushing analysts to provide intelligence.... "before the blast."

Flynn fought desperately to expand the DIA HUMINT capability and programs while he was the Director. This did not set well with you know who. Pressure was put on Obama to can him. Both he and his deputy at DIA were sent packing.

The immediacy of his persecution, his financial destruction through lawfare, the depth of his silencing by the courts and the threats to his family to keep him silenced all trumpeted how dangerous he was to the entrenched power elites of the deep state.
The greatest tragedy is that I suspect the specifics of any part of his wide-ranging and lengthy knowledge of criminal and treasonous behaviors by the denizens of the Kalorama Kompound and the Puppet Show can only be revealed in a SCIF!

Why did he sit with two FBI agents without the Whitehouse lawyer present?
If memory serves, the two agents just showed up without an appointment which made Flynn think it was a friendly visit. After all, they were all on the same side, right.
Man, I'm so old I remember when the FBI had a reputation for excellence. Whether that reputation was deserved is debatable.

ALWAYS ask for a lawyer and tape your own interview. They won't.

"After all, they were all on the same side, right."
What kind of intel guy was he if he didn't know the system had been weaponized against Trump? Flynn walked right into a trap. That doesn't speak well to his professional abilities.
[Washington Examiner] House Republicans are pressing the Biden administration to provide information about a government phone app that allowed immigrants outside the United States to apply for permission to fly into the U.S. to be screened for admission.
In a letter sent to President Joe Biden and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Friday, 18 GOP lawmakers demanded information on the "advanced travel authorizations" program that has allowed immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to enter the U.S.
"As federal representatives and citizens of this great nation, we hold a fundamental duty to ensure that the Executive Branch is not breaking the very laws it is charged to enforce. This is especially true when it comes to protecting Americans," the letter, led by Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX), states. "No American should die because you refused to do your duty."

I trust the immigration border crosser numbers about as much as covid numbers, gummint economic numbers and National Park Service crowd size estimates.
Which is to say, not at all.

Well now border security will be great because Biden got all the cash and authorization to really make things happen.

[Breitbart] California Democrats are trying to preserve Proposition 47, the 2014 ballot measure that eased penalties for theft and which is blamed today by many critics for a crime wave targeting retail stores in the state’s major cities.
Proposition 47 was sold to the public as “criminal justice reform,” but it did little to improve the state’s programs to rehabilitate criminals. Instead, it just changed some felonies to misdemeanors, including thefts under $950.
That, many Californians believe, created a strong incentive for criminal to commit petty theft, especially at retail stores, knowing that prosecutors would be unlikely to pursue charges or that any penalties would be minimal.
Earlier this year, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) introduced a set of reforms aimed at reducing property crimes, but left Proposition 47 intact. Other legislators proposed reforms to Proposition 47, or suggested it simply be repealed.
However, as the Associated Press reports, most (not all) California Democrats — at Newsom’s direction — are defending Proposition 47, and attempting to focus their legislative efforts on other policy changes:
Following Newsom’s directions, Democratic leaders in both chambers at the Capitol also have shut down calls to repeal the measure [Proposition 47]. Last month, the state’s new Senate President Pro Tempore Mike McGuire, with bipartisan support, introduced a package of legislation that would target auto thefts and large-scale resell schemes and expand diversion programs such as drug courts and treatment services. Online marketplaces also would be required to crack down on users reselling stolen goods on their platforms under the proposal.
…
But some Democratic lawmakers said those efforts won’t be enough to make a difference. Assemblymember James Ramos, who authored bipartisan legislation to increase penalties for repeat shoplifters, said many lawmakers want to see “the pendulum swing back to the middle.” The bill would require voters’ approval.
“Prop. 47 needs to have some type of resetting,” Ramos said. “We have the opportunity now to start that dialogue.”
Earlier this year, Newsom expressed shock when a clerk at a Target store blamed him for the shoplifting problem.

It's professional courtesy. Thieves protecting other thieves. They got a whiff of that in New Mexico and changed the law to treat 'accumulative' total rather than a one time event.

Californians did vote for this. So no sympathy. You get what you want. And apparently you Californians want this. So enjoy!

"Justice reform" is the idea that people are criminals because they are treated like criminals.
No. They are criminals because they act like criminals. They made that choice, not all the rest of us.

IIRC, one of the arguments in favor of Prop. 47 was that California prisons are overcrowded and it's too expensive to build more. But maybe we should just think of the new prisons as "affordable housing".

At one time at the beginning of this century, I was a staff participant in drafting criminal justice policy for the State of California. Central to the political context of the discussions was the factor of "disproportionate minority representation" in various statistics dealing with apprehensions, convictions incarceration and investigations.
In simplistic terms, it was argued that either minorities committed a disproportionate level of crime, or that the system was inherently biased.
The facts were incontrovertible, but one of the two answers was unacceptable. From this unwillingness to face reality everything has flowed.
Obviously, there are many more factors about poverty, enforcement concentration, family structure, education, that are involved. But the cowardice in refusing to assign significant blame to the predilection of a large percentage of male, minority youth to criminal behavior rests with the political left across the spectrum of governance in America!
The subsequent pandering and outright manipulation for political gain by Obama and Biden has accelerated, not moderated, this cancerous behavior!
I know you're just as surprised as I am (Breitbart) NBC News is hiring former Republican National Committee (RNC) Chair Ronna McDaniel to be a contributor at its cable network, with her debut appearance slated for Meet the Press on Sunday, March 24.
The New York Times reported Friday that the network is bringing McDaniel aboard and that she is also anticipated to make appearances on far-left MSNBC:
"It couldn’t be a more important moment to have a voice like Ronna’s on the team," Carrie Budoff Brown, who oversees NBC News political coverage, wrote in a memo, adding that Ms. McDaniel would provide "an insider’s perspective on national politics and the future of the Republican Party." Ms. McDaniel will be especially involved in the coverage of the 2024 campaign, including election nights. Just heard MSNBC pays Rachel Maddow $7 Mil a year. The average salary for a garbage truck driver is $40,000. Why is delivering garbage worth 175 times more than hauling it away?

Considering Michael Steele’s career after RNC lead (endorsed Joe Biden and spends most of his days on MSM bashing Trump) no one should be surprised at Ronna Romney McDaniel’s MSNBC contract.

Taking the assignment she was given after performance of duties.

..nah, CNN is down to around 174K viewers and dropping. She could read the ratings and viewership numbers and conclude she would have a longer run grifting on MSNBC.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
