[Breitbart] For months, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) have bused thousands to New York City, New York, and Washington, DC — drawing opposition from New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) and Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser (D).
While Bowser — who requested the D.C. National Guard but was turned down by the Pentagon — has described the busing of border crossers and illegal aliens as a “crisis,” Adams has called the buses arriving in his city “horrific.”
Now, Biden is said to be concerned about “the optics” of pro-sanctuary city Democrat mayors swiftly opposing illegal immigration when it arrives on their doorsteps.
Reuters reports:
Thousands of migrants bused to Washington in recent months by Republican governors of states on the U.S.-Mexico border have caused tensions between the White House and the Democratic mayor of the U.S. capital city, four U.S. officials told Reuters. [Emphasis added]
…
White House officials disagree with Bowser’s portrayal of the migrant arrivals as a “crisis,” which echoes Abbott’s language about the border, three officials and another source familiar with the matter said. [Emphasis added]
“The message and the optics aren’t what the White House wants to hear or see from a Democratic mayor,” said one U.S. officials who, along with others, requested anonymity to discuss the internal consensus. [Emphasis added]
Most recently, as Breitbart News exclusively reported, buses of mostly single male adult border crossers and illegal aliens have started arriving in New York City. Workers with local non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have provided the new arrivals with burritos, among other items.
[Breitbart] President Joe Biden was noticeably disoriented Monday as he struggled to put his sport coat back on during a visit to Kentucky.
During the trip back to Washington DC, the president traveled aboard Marine One and exited the helicopter at the Lexington airport wearing a mask and his aviator sunglasses.
The president paused after exiting to put his sports coat back on but fumbled for several seconds as he tried to get his arms into the sleeves.
He finally turned to First Lady Jill Biden for assistance after his arms got tangled.
The president, still wearing his mask, finally adjusted his coat successfully but then his aviator sunglasses fell off of his face, prompting him to stoop and pick them back up.
He then removed his mask as he approached Air Force One and walked over to speak with reporters.
“Are you hot enough?” he asked reporters as he approached.
The president, recently recovering from coronavirus, also coughed loosely as he spoke and answered a few questions about his trip.

Four or five moments. That's all it takes to be a hero. People think you wake up a hero, ride your bike a hero, don a jacket a hero, forget you just shook someone's hand a hero.
[Washington Examiner] A recent congressional push against Russian influence in Africa threw a bit of a wrench into Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s plans to improve U.S. ties with one of the continent’s leading states.
He arrived in South Africa in part to unveil a new U.S. strategy for sub-Saharan Africa, which is in the midst of a population growth surge that could propel African societies to economic and political heights. "By 2050, 1 in 4 people on this planet will be African," he said. "So this is the future, quite literally. And what we’re investing in is that future."
Blinken touted that investment while attempting to surmount the impediments left by the history of Western imperialism in Africa, a legacy that China and Russia routinely invoke while advancing their strategic interests in the region. South Africa's foreign minister, Naledi Pandor, acknowledged that Blinken "confirmed that America is not asking us to choose" sides in a new geopolitical struggle, but she didn’t hide her displeasure for a House-passed bill that would require the State Department to assess and "to hold accountable the Russian Federation and African governments and their officials who are complicit in aiding such malign influence and activities," as the legislation put it.
"In terms of our interaction with some of our partners in Europe and elsewhere, there has been a sense of patronizing bullying toward ’you choose this or else,’ and the recent legislation passed in the United States of America by the House of Representatives we found a most unfortunate bill that we had hoped the media would say more about," Pandor said. "Because when we believe in freedom — as I’m saying, it’s freedom for everybody — you can’t say because Africa is doing this, you will then be punished by the United States."
Links to all of today’s articles and commentary on the subject can be seen here. We had the first report of the FBI raid yesterday evening here.
[PJMedia] Ever since President Trump announced that Mar-A-Lago had been raided by the FBI, we’ve been looking for answers. How did this happen? Why did this happen? Who knew about it, and when did they know about it? While we’ll likely find out more about who and when later, what we do know now is how it happened. New details have come to light about the judge who signed off on the search warrant that will make you sick to your stomach — and suggest this effort by the Biden administration to target Trump will backfire drastically.
Miranda Devine of the New York Post discovered that the sealed search warrant was assigned to magistrate judge Bruce E. Reinhart.
Reinhart is a former U.S. Attorney who left that position to represent employees of notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The Post reports:
Reinhart was elevated to magistrate judge in March 2018 after 10 years in private practice. That November, the Miami Herald reported that he had represented several of Epstein’s employees — including, by Reinhart’s own admission to the outlet, Epstein’s pilots; his scheduler, Sarah Kellen; and Nadia Marcinkova, who Epstein once reportedly described as his “Yugoslavian sex slave.”
Kellen and Marcinkova were among Epstein’s lieutenants who were granted immunity as part of a controversial 2007 deal with federal prosecutors that allowed the pervert to plead guilty to state charges rather than federal crimes. Epstein wound up serving just 13 months in county jail and was granted work release.
According to the outlet, Reinhart resigned from the South Florida US Attorney’s Office effective on New Year’s Day 2008 and went to work for Epstein’s cohorts the following day. […] Reinhart was later named in a civil lawsuit that accused him of violating Justice Department policies by switching sides in the middle of the Epstein investigation, suggesting he had used inside information about the probe to build favor with the notorious defendant, the Herald reported in 2018.
So, Reinhart bailed on his gig with the government prosecuting Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplices so he could represent them, and he succeeded in getting his sex-trafficking clients immunity.
Oh, but there’s more. Not only did Reinhart make an ethically questionable move from prosecuting Epstein and his accomplices to representing them, but according to FEC records, Reinhart donated $1,000 to Barack Obama’s presidential campaign and another $1,000 to a pro-Obama PAC in 2008.
So, aside from the blatant abuse of power by the Biden administration, an Epstein-linked Obama donor approved the warrant authorizing the raid on Trump’s home.

^ The mildly good news there would be that magistrate judges don't have lifetime tenure -- they have to be re-appointed every eight years after input from a "panel of citizens".

#6 Not to be all geek about it, but this was a federal magistrate, not a Florida state magistrate. But if I were him I would have let a federal district judge do the honors. "I feel a touch of COVID coming on, but I think Judge XYZ is around..."

Got kind of a pretty mouth...suitable for smaller, er, equipment?:
Links to all of today’s articles and commentary on the subject can be seen here. We had the first report of the FBI raid yesterday evening here.
[REDSTATE] Following the FBI raid of former President Donald Trump ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... ’s home in Mar-a-Lago, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Senator Marco Rubio ...The diminutive 13-year-old Republican U.S. Senator from Florida... (R-FL), and South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem (R-SD) reacted to the raid.
Governor DeSantis tweeted:
"The raid of MAL is another escalation in the weaponization of federal agencies against the Regime’s political opponents, while people like Hunter Biden get treated with kid gloves. Now the Regime is getting another 87k IRS ...the Internal Revenue Service; that office of the United States government that collects taxes and persecutes the regime's political enemies... agents to wield against its adversaries? Banana Republic."
DeSantis calls out the FBI. He calls out the federal agency’s hypocrisy regarding Trump and Hunter Biden. Some conservatives want DeSantis to take action regarding the raid.
Senator Marco Rubio tweeted:
"Using government power to persecute political opponents is something we have seen many times from 3rd world Marxist dictatorships. But never before in America."
As Cuban flags fly alongside the American flag in front of Mar-a-Lago, Marco Rubio compared the FBI’s actions to a third-world "Marxist dictatorship." Many people have compared the FBI’s action to something that would place in a third-world country.
Governor Kristi Noem tweeted:
"The FBI raid on President Trump’s home is an unprecedented political weaponization of the Justice Department. They’ve been after President Trump as a candidate, as President, and now as a former President. Using the criminal justice system in this manner is un-American."
If the FBI wants any credibility, it can’t be partisan and biased like they are now. To those celebrating the FBI raiding Mar-a-Lago, the reaction would be the opposite if it were Crooked Hillary Clinton ...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away. Politix is not one of her talents, but it's something she keeps trying to do... ’s, Hunter Biden’s, or Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments... ’s home being raided. It is utter hypocrisy from the Democrats.
Hunter Biden’s laptop showed that the "big guy" Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. We get to suffer the consequences... was involved in Hunter’s business dealings with China. Not to mention Hunter received millions of dollars from Ukraine, but the FBI did not even bat an eye. If their goal is to crack down on corruption, Hunter is one of the top places to start. But it seems evident that the FBI and DOJ want to shut down conservatives and any person who has a different ideology than they do. The rule of law applies to every single American, regardless of political beliefs or party affiliation.
[BREITBART] Monday, on the heels of news that former President Donald Trump ...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party... ’s Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, FL was raided by the FBI, Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz criticized the raid as "misconduct."According to Dershowitz, a raid is the method of last resort, and the onus will be on the Biden administration to show justification, or anything obtained in the raid would be suppressed.
"The raid is supposed to be a last resort," he said. "But this administration has used the weaponization of the justice system against its political enemies. It has arrested people, denied them bail, put them in handcuffs — used all kinds of techniques that are not usually applied to American citizens. I just hope this raid has the justification. If it doesn’t have the justification, the materials seized in it will be suppressed."
"This is improper, and this is misconduct," Dershowitz added. "We have to find out what the facts are. But we have to make sure the shoe fits on the other foot — that we want to make sure what is being one here is something that Democrats would not oppose if it were being done to Democratic operatives, as well."

Wrong on so many levels. A totally unnecessary and cowardly act carried out against a former president, national icon and hero of tens of millions of American people. The betrayal of the nation continues.
A loathsome, disgusting bunch of political thugs masquerading as law enforcement.
I fear for this man and his family. I fear for our country.
In 2013, the IRS, under the Obama administration, revealed that it had selected political groups applying for tax-exempt status for intensive scrutiny based on their names or political themes.

The USA federal government has to be remembered that the most terrifying force of death comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. The moment the Men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these Men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the Men
[REDSTATE] Last Thursday, FBI Dir. Christopher Wray appeared before the US Senate to ostensibly answer questions about the bureau’s conduct. What followed was a thorough undressing of the corrupt agency while Wray himself scoffed at any sort of accountability.
First, Sen. Ted Cruz; ...US Senator from Texas. Republican contender for president in 2016, his stiff and abrasive manner earned him the title most hated man in the Senate. After a close win over Beto O'Rourke, who tried to out-Lastino him, he grew a beard and let his biting wit shine through. Cruz's comments have been known to leave life-threatening wounds at better than forty feet... exposed the entrapment that took place regarding the FBI-led Gretchen Whitmer ...Her Excellency, the dictator of Michigan, 2020 Dem VP contender... kidnapping plot. Sen. Josh Hawley also exacted his pound of flesh in questioning. Later, Wray tried to wiggle out of the hearing by claiming to Sen. Chuck Grassley that he had "a plane to catch."
Well, now we know what plane he caught and where it was going, and it sure seems like a scandal. Far from the picture Wray tried to paint of him rushing through a busy international airport to catch a scheduled flight, he actually jumped on his taxpayer-funded private jet, a state-of-the-art Gulfstream 550. Worse, though, was where he went. It doesn’t appear he was on FBI business. Instead, he was taking a vacation.
The New York Post has the report.
Grassley’s staff did not know where Wray was going after the hearing and FBI public affairs did not respond to an email Sunday by press time.
But the luxury FBI Gulfstream Wray uses was recorded on Flightradar24 making the one hour and 12 minute flight later that afternoon to bucolic Saranac Lake in the Adirondacks, which happens to be a favorite summer destination since his childhood, when he used to hike the High Peaks and fish for trout, according to the Adirondack Daily Enterprise.
There are several things to consider, including the fact that Wray clearly misled Congress on why he had to leave. The idea that a government-controlled FBI jet couldn’t wait an extra few minutes for Republicans to finish their questioning is ludicrous. Wray is nothing if he isn’t manipulative, though, and the way he played things while in the hearing was clearly meant to make it seem as if he were catching a commercial flight. That’s not a "lie," I guess, but it is dang sure dishonest.
Then there are the questions around whether Wray’s flight was even legal. I can’t say as I’m no expert on that area of the law, but I’ve always been under the impression that government officials can’t use government aircraft for personal trips, with the only exception being the President of the United States. If Wray tries to claim that he needed to go to his favorite vacation spot on an FBI jet for "business," that’s scandalous. At the very least, I believe he must reimburse the government. Is he doing that?
This is a story that needs to be dug into by those who have the resources to do so, beginning with the Republican senators that Wray tried to play. The FBI is a dumpster fire, and if I had my way, it’d be defunded and abolished. That’s not going to happen, but holding Wray accountable would be a good start. And the moment a Republican retakes the White House, he must be fired.

Until someone sees a penalty of some kind for lying and misleading and stonewalling congress we'll never see any change. He should immediately have lost his job immediately if not been slapped with charges.
We had the first report of the FBI raid yesterday evening here.
[Breitbart] President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. The very model of propity.... ’s staff claimed Monday they did not know about the FBI raid on former President Donald Trump ...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party... ’s house at Mar-A-Lago.
"No advance knowledge. Some learned from old media some from social media," a senior White House official told CBS news hound Ed O’Keefe when asked about the raid. Obama: "I read about it in the news".
Fox News journalist Pat Ward also cited a comment from a White House official denying they did not receive notice of the raid and referred news hounds to the Justice Department.
President Joe Biden returned to the White House from his trip to view flood damage in Kentucky at about 6:00 p.m. and his staff called a "lid" for the day at 6:29 p.m.
Trump announced the news of the raid in a statement released just before 7:00 p.m.
"These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents," Trump said. "Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before."

And the WH bull sh!t flows like a mighty river of sewage.
Biden is constantly railing, saying Trump is a threat to Democracy and that MAGA are extremist terrorists/white supremacists.
Alright then, fire and permanently dismiss everyone involved immediately. Offer a televised national apology to President Trump, his family, and the American people.
An intentional and cowardly national betrayal at the Geheime Staatspolizei level.
Could there possibly be an internal clandestine FBI cell or secret operation in Washington D.C. exclusively dedicated to the destruction of Donald Trump ?

The IRS has 4,600 guns and 5 million rounds of ammunition. A little more than a year ago, the Social Security Administration put in a request for 174,000 rounds of ".357 Sig 125 grain bonded jacketed hollow-point" bullets. Before that, it was the Department of Agriculture requesting 320,000 rounds. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the National Weather Service have bought 72,000 and 46,000 rounds of.40 caliber jacketed hollow point rounds (respectively). The Social Security Agency one-upped them, ordering over 174,000 hollow point rounds of ammunition. The 2,300 Special Agents at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) are allowed to carry AR-15's, P90 tactical rifles, and other heavy weaponry.

This FBI/DoJ story doesn't pass the smell test. The MSM is showing photos of a toilet with pieces of torn paper in Trumps toilet. How long has it been since they first accused Trump of keeping documents that were supposed to go to the National Archives? At the time, Trump supposedly had flushed them down the toilet. It's been months ago--shortly after the time he left office. The writing on the pieces of paper appears to have been written by a magic marker--almost child-like. The ink was not faded. Was the toilet not flushed for several months? I don't see that happening.
It's being reported that the AG issued the warrant and Wray's FBI executed the warrant.

I hope Trump has very good security. You know at some time the Democrats will try to take him out. After this I won't put *anything* beyond them.
Reportedly the same Secret Service that opened the gates and doors of Ma-A-Lago to the FBI raid yesterday morning while President Trump was out of town.
Links to all of today’s articles and commentary on the subject can be seen here. We had the first report of the FBI raid yesterday evening here.
[REDSTATE] It was certainly shocking news to hear on Monday that the FBI was raiding Mar-a-Lago. There was more news about what might be behind it, relating to classified material that Trump might have but if that’s the case, it makes it even more ridiculous as there would be other ways to proceed. It seemed like a fishing expedition to see what they could grab.
But perhaps nowhere could it be more shocking or more upsetting than to the Trump family who have been pursued, for so long by the Democrats, with every political effort they have thrown at them.
Lara Trump — Trump’s daughter-in-law and Eric Trump’s wife — was on Fox News. She gave some of the family’s reactions since she had been talking with the former president about what had just happened. She said that this was not just about Trump. But if they could even go to this length against the former president of the United States of America, what stops them from going after you?
She made it clear she thought it was an attempt to guard against him running again in 2024, weaponizing the justice system against him. She also pointed out that the family had been cooperating with the FBI.
Eric Trump also provided some further information. His father had said that they even broke into his safe. But Eric told Fox’s Brian Kilmeade there had been nothing in the safe, so they came away with nothing there.
Eric said this was outrageous, with 30 agents at the house, and he said he believed it had to come from Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. The very model of propity.... There’s no other way to say it but that they are right. The Democrats have been trying to get Trump since before he was elected — to knock him out with false Russia collusion allegations, then the efforts to impeach him on ridiculous charges. Now, with Joe Biden in horrible shape, and the Democrats about to lose horrifically in the midterms, they’re after him again in the hopes they can knock him out in some way in 2024.
But if anything, it’s only going to charge up Republicans, even more, to circle the wagons and realize there is no choice, everyone has to get out and throw the Democrats out of office in November if we are ever to stop this kind of corruption. We are not a banana republic but they are doing all they can to make us into one in their naked effort to hold onto power.
[BREITBART] Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... Jr., the eldest child of former President Donald Trump, reacted to the FBI raid at the former president’s Florida home, Mar-A-Lago, saying that the Democrats are "openly targeting their political enemies."
"[President Joe] Biden’s out of control DOJ is ripping this country apart with how they’re openly targeting their political enemies," Trump stated on social media.
He added that a raid on political opponents "is what you see happen in 3rd World Banana Republics!!!"
The former president, who was the first to confirm the raid, released a lengthy statement, part of which stated, "These are dark times for our Nation," as his home "is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents." He added, "Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before."
Politico reported on the raid:
Two sources familiar with the search said it was related to allegations that Trump allies improperly removed boxes of presidential records from the White House after leaving office — including some that may have included classified information. One of those sources said the raid took "hours."
However, those who apply themselves too closely to little things often become incapable of great things... CNN ...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for... noted that the National Archives, which collects and sorts presidential material, has already stated that "at least 15 boxes of White House records were recovered from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort — including some that were classified." And how would CNN know this? An ass-covering leak?
But, in an interview with Breitbart News’s Kristina Wong, Kash Patel, a former top Trump administration official, said the claims that "classified materials were found at Mar-a-Lago are misleading" since the "documents were actually already declassified by then-President Donald Trump, but the classification markings had not been updated."

I read this and say they needed to stop TRUMP from running in 2024. Plus, needed to get the evidence he had on them to avoid criminal charges and a purge of the LSD installed 5th column Gov.
Links to all of today’s articles and commentary on the subject can be seen here. We had the first report of the FBI raid yesterday evening here.
[RT] New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... news hound Maggie Haberman released photos on Monday apparently showing former President Donald Trump ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... ’s handwritten notes flushed down two toilets, supposedly in violation of White House protocol. Trump himself ridiculed Haberman, and his office called her scoop "desperate."
Published by Axios on Monday, the photos show two torn-up wads of notes, apparently in Trump’s handwriting, lodged in a pair of toilets, one in the White House and the other from an overseas trip.
The names ’Rogers’ and ’Stefanik’ are visible on the shredded notes, likely referencing Republican Rep. Mike Rogers of Alabama and Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik of New York.
Trump has long been suspected of mishandling White House documents and briefing papers, with the Justice Department in May reportedly opening a probe into 15 boxes of letters, mementos and classified files that the former president is believed to have taken to his Florida residence after leaving Washington last year.

They have realized that trying to turn voters against Trump only makes him stronger. Now they are gonna fabricate something so infintism that folks will believe it was just a mistake but its still a disqualifier. But it won't work either.
[Real Clear] Numerous news reports have emerged about the reforms to the energy infrastructure permitting process that Senator Joe Manchin has obtained as promises from President Joe Biden, Senator Chuck Schumer, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in exchange for his support for the "Inflation Reduction Act." That title sets a new standard for Beltway disinformation: Inflation is a monetary phenomenon, and the most that plausibly could be said is that the bill would not increase the deficit and thus the scope for debt monetization by the Fed. The bill ostensibly increases various taxes by $739 billion, authorizes new spending (oops, "investments") of $433 billion, and so yields "deficit reduction" of $300+ billion.
That these numbers as well as the prospect for "inflation reduction" are utter falsehoods is a given; and the same is true for the proposition that Congressmen and Senators will choose to raise taxes by more than they raise spending, systematically accepting an excess of the political pain of taxing over the political sunshine of spending. And so the budget numbers specified in the 725-page draft legislation are based upon an obvious deception: that the new spending somehow will not be renewed after an initial three-year period, an exercise in Congressional gameplaying that cannot possibly have escaped notice by Manchin.
So why has he signed on to this monstrosity? Back to the promises of energy infrastructure permitting reforms: It is clear that Manchin understands that his partners in legalized crime are not to be trusted. Last weekend he said that "potential ’consequences’" would ensue were the Democratic leadership to renege on the deal. Because of the Senate requirements for legislation to be passed with only a simple majority, the permitting reforms are not included in the draft legislation. Instead, they are to be enacted as part of separate legislation later this year, subject to a filibuster and thus requiring 60 votes. The central reforms that Manchin claims are being promised are the following:
[ZERO] President Joe Biden on Monday reacted to China's military announcing it is extending drills surrounding Taiwan. The four days of live fire exercises, which Taiwan sees as a direct threat and has described as effectively a "blockade", were scheduled to end Sunday, but the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Eastern Theatre Command announced Monday that it is "continuing joint training under real war conditions, focused on organizing joint anti-submarine warfare and naval strikes."
In the fresh remarks, Biden said in what was a surprise to many that he's "not worried" about Chinese aggression toward Taiwan at this moment. "I’m not worried, but I’m concerned that they’re moving as much as they are. But I don’t think they’re going to do anything more," Biden told a group of reporters before traveling to Kentucky.

Of course he "isn't worried." He and the treacherous Deep State are facilitating and abetting the Chinese aggression.
One of these provocative military exercises will suddenly go HOT and we will do absolutely nothing. The Chinese know they have a Biden window and must act soon.

The Biden window and the Pelosi Provocation are pretext for the massive ChiCom PLAN effort to sustain provocative and increasingly credible demonstrations in-force to make the Taiwanese uncloak any remaining major sensor and weapons systems. This mapping of any unknown but suspected assets is perhaps a final ISR factor in the Go/NoGo decision matrix for Xi.
My guess is the Russian experience has added a limiting political consideration for Xi should it not go well and he faces the CCP Central Committee.
[BREITBART] Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) claimed in a New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... interview Sunday that she is still a Wyoming Republican even after allying herself with the Democrats on the partisan January 6 Committee, gun control measures, and globalist foreign policy.
"If the cost of standing up for the Constitution is losing the House seat, then that’s a price I’m willing to pay," she said in the interview.
Cheney has no interest in changing her political affiliation, she also told the publication. "I’m a Republican," she said before warning the Republican party "is continuing to drive itself in a ditch." She added, "I think it’s going to take several cycles if it can be healed."
Not everyone agrees with Cheney’s political position. "She’s so in bed with the Democrats, with Pelosi and with all them people," Casper resident Bruce Hitt explained to the Times.
Cheney’s alliance with the establishment extends to the partisan January 6 Committee, which has sought to investigate the January 6 incident without focusing on the alleged FBI informants at the Capitol. Cheney is one of ten Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... . If she loses the August 16 primary, only two or three pro-impeachment Republicans will remain in office.
"Can I cuss?" one voter responded to CNN ...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for... when asked last weekend about Cheney’s role on the partisan January 6 committee. "She’s done us dirty," the voter explained. "Look at how she’s done Trump. I’m a Trump fan."
Cheney’s alliance with Democrats and fixation on Trump caused the Wyoming Republican Party in 2021 to excommunicate their representative from the state in which she is no longer recognized as a Republican. Since then, Rep. Kevin McCarthy ...the GOP house majority whip. He replaces Eric Cantor, who got whupped because his politix are like Kevin McCarthy's... (R-CA), Sen. Ted Cruz; ...US Senator from Texas. Republican contender for president in 2016, his stiff and abrasive manner earned him the title most hated man in the Senate. After a close win over Beto O'Rourke, who tried to out-Lastino him, he grew a beard and let his biting wit shine through. Cruz's comments have been known to leave life-threatening wounds at better than forty feet... (R-TX), and former Wyoming Rep. Barbara Cubin have all endorsed Cheney’s competitor, Trump-endorsed Harriet Hageman.
Hageman, a local attorney and America First advocate, is leading in the polls by about 30 points and is predicted to win the highly contested GOP open primary. "The big story is Liz Cheney is going to get beat," Brad Coker, managing director of the polling firm Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy, said, reflecting on a primary poll released in June. "That’s a foregone conclusion."
While it appears "Cheney is ready to lose" on August 16, her obsession with fighting Trump is likely blinding her perception of the Republican party. When the Times asked Cheney if she would support any Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) potential political ambitions, Cheney said she "would find it very difficult." She continued, "I think that Ron DeSantis has lined himself up almost entirely with Donald Trump, and I think that’s very dangerous."
[NEWSWEEK] Agrowing number of Democrats in Wyoming may be registering as Republicans in order to back Representative Liz Cheney in the state's upcoming primary, data suggests.
Cheney, the state's sole representative in the House, has been urging Democrats to switch parties to vote for her in the August 16 primary as she faces a tough re-election battle, with polling showing her trailing behind challenger Harriet Hageman, who has been endorsed by Donald Trump ...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons...... Wyoming Democrats—who are massively outnumbered in the state by Republicans— have received mail from Cheney's campaign with instructions on how to change their party affiliation. Her campaign website also links to a form that allows people to switch parties.

The left puts stuff like this out to CNN so voters will stay home while they rally Don't Ms to vote Republican for Cheney.

It could have been just a glitch, but recently I used the word SIERRA-CHARLIE-ROMEO-ALPHA-PAPA-SIERRA in a story about Russia in Africa and my mention of the Chinese. It got whacked, but when I changed the C to a K, my post went through fine.

Never occurs to her that she is totally out of alignment with the voters and there might be a reason for that. Perhaps she is basing her decisions on bad info.

"If the cost of standing up for the Constitution is losing the House seat, then that’s a price I’m willing to pay," she said in the interview.
“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”
― Patrick Henry

She always knew she would lose but she can keep her election cash for a certain amount of time so she'll milk the stupid before she goes. She probably already has a book ready to go, gotta release that while the left still loves her...
[REDSTATE] GOP Leadership in the House has responded forcefully to the FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago, with GOP leader Kevin McCarthy ...the GOP house majority whip. He replaces Eric Cantor, who got whupped because his politix are like Kevin McCarthy's... directly calling out Attorney General Merrick Garland, and the Republicans on the Judiciary Committee tearing into the FBI for the raid.
McCarthy’s statement was straight to the point.
McCarthy’s tweet came hours after former President Donald Trump ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... emailed supporters announcing the FBI was raiding his home in Mar-a-Lago. Trump was not at the resort at the time of the raid. It also comes after Garland in recent weeks indicated he was serious about moving forward on investigating the former president in relation to the riot at the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee had strong words for and about the FBI after the raid became public. There is currently no indication that anyone on the Judiciary Committee or at the White House was made aware of the raid before it happened and was announced by Trump.
Individual members of the committee also had comments to add.
The Republicans are currently expected to take the House of Representatives in the November midterm election.
The raid appears to stem from classified documents that were removed from the White House and taken to Mar-a-Lago. The National Archives have been working for months to get those documents back to no avail. There does not seem to be any link between the raid and the Jan. 6 investigation put on by a separate House committee and one from the Justice Department.

If there was a single real American man amongst them they would all be calling for his firing and arrest. Spineless coward corrupt RINOs, every single one of them.
[REDSTATE] The way Democrats and the mainstream media talk incessantly about former President Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... , one would think that it’s Trump and not Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem mschine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family... who currently occupies the Oval Office.
Indeed, even Biden himself can’t stop obsessing over Trump, bizarrely invoking him in recent comments he made about his recent bout with COVID. He also made sure that Democrats marked the anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2020 Capitol riot complete with a speech in which Trump was the focus and where Biden proclaimed Trump was responsible for the breach of the U.S. Capitol, something he reiterated during a virtual White House event in July.
But in the midst of focusing on Trump as though he’s the biggest threat they could face in 2024, some Democrats are now reluctantly acknowledging that there is a foe out there who is far more formidable than Trump: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. And they say Biden should stop spending so much time making Donald Trump a focal point and more time trying to dent DeSantis’ rising popularity:
"To me, DeSantis is the scarier prospect," one Democratic strategist said. "He’s a smarter version of Trump, he’s way more strategic, and he doesn’t have a hundred lawsuits at his feet."
"If Trump goes bust, and he very well may, he’s the main guy I’d be watching," the strategist said of the Florida governor.
Throughout his administration, DeSantis has made it a point to use Biden as a foil, blaming the president for policies he says are taking the country in the wrong direction.
"What’s inexplicable to me is, why — not just Joe Biden — but the entire Democratic establishment isn’t trying to disqualify him now in the governor’s race," said Fernand Amandi, a Miami-based pollster and consultant whose firm helped Barack Obama I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody... ’s presidential campaign win the state in 2008 and 2012.
"He’s getting an absolute free pass," Amandi said of DeSantis. "He has no sense of shame. ... He’s acting like someone who doesn’t feel accountable to anyone."
In truth, DeSantis is acting as though someone who is accountable to Floridians, which is precisely the way he should act, and which is why he’s likely to get reelected. But that’s a story for another day.
The funny thing here is that Biden has tried to play "tough guy" against DeSantis in the past. The problem with that, though, is that DeSantis flattens him every time he attempts it, whether it’s on illegal immigration, vaccine mandates, parental rights legislation, and even when Biden pretended to forget DeSantis’ name.

Democrats are not used to opponents that are actually on the correct side of the law and know it. All they can do is harass but nothing sticks and god forbid if there is turn-about looking into them they are finished.
