Fifth Column
Reminder that Karen Bass is an actual communist who was trained in a Marxist Brigade by the Castro regime
[X]

… not a "DEI mayor." She is extremely powerful at the global stage.

She was actively involved in shaping foreign policy with the Obama administration, especially Africa. Her Ghana visit during the LA wildfires wasn't a vacation, it was part of a Biden delegate to greet Ghana's new President.

She was considered HUD Secretary for the Biden administration. Instead, she nominated the person who would become the actual HHS Secretary - California Attorney General Xavier Becerra.

Now, let me ask you. If a literal Castro operative gets elevated to this stage, what does this imply about the rest of the United States government?

#1  Bass’s background is everything you don’t want with respect to a mayoral candidate for any city, town or villiage. Her background matches what we are seeing in Chicago and NYC. It is the new norm.

Tulsi Gabbard Declassifies Email Showing James Clapper Pushed Russia Narrative
[Patriot Journal] For years, Americans who questioned the Russia collusion narrative were dismissed as conspiracy theorists. They were told to trust the intelligence community. They were told our most powerful agencies operated above politics. Those who dared suggest otherwise? They faced ridicule from media know-it-alls and Washington insiders.

Let me tell you what’s really going on here. These liars always leave a paper trail. And now, thanks to newly declassified documents, we’re seeing exactly how the sausage was made in those final, desperate weeks of the Obama administration. The revelations confirm what millions of Americans suspected all along. Our intelligence agencies were turned into political weapons.

From Daily Wire:

Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard published an email on Wednesday that raised a number of questions about former DNI James Clapper and how hard he pushed other members of the Intelligence Community (IC) to rally behind the Russia Hoax.

Gabbard shared a screenshot of the email, which was sent by Clapper in late December of 2016 to then FBI Director James Comey, then CIA Director John Brennan, and National Security Agency (NSA) Director Michael Rogers.


The Email That Changes Everything

This wasn’t some casual office memo. This was Clapper responding to serious concerns raised by NSA Director Mike Rogers. Rogers warned that his team hadn’t had enough access to the real intelligence. They didn’t have enough time to review it properly. Rogers was showing the kind of integrity we should expect from our intelligence leaders. He wrote that his team had raised red flags about the rushed assessment process.
