Looks like all of Joe's inlaws and outlaws got a cut. What he should have done is what Hillary did, demand other countries donate to the "Clinton Foundation" for influence instead of to her daughter Chelsea directly who happened to be over the "Clinton Foundation".

If soooo many members of the Biden crime family were involved, then isn't it time some if them start begin hauled in to testify?
[ZERO] America First Legal (AFL) has obtained documents through FOIA request from the Department of Homeland Security which outline a "Choose Your Own Adventure" style video series that DHS intended to release to the public. The videos were meant to depict different scenarios in which citizens might encounter potentially "radicalized" individuals. Citizens are then asked to choose what they think should be done about the encounter.
Most of the scripted scenarios showcase people with conservative beliefs and values as the radicalized threat. For example, the DHS targeted "suburban Moms" with pro-life beliefs:
Skipping through attachments:
The video scripts, written under the DHS’s Office of Terrorism and Violence Prevention, was part of an internalized memo circulated on January 29th, 2021, only eight days after Joe Biden entered the White House. The program seems to have been developed in tandem with the "Disinformation Governance Board" which was eventually scrapped due to public opposition. It reveals an ongoing and disturbing trend within the Federal Government to implement authoritarian measures across the country, first using covid as an excuse, then using the January 6th protests as a rationale.
Let us not forget about Biden's disinfo-czar Nina Jankowicz, also known as "Scary Poppins."

I want to wear a “C” because my older brother always got to be captain of the team. I will finally feel that I have risen out of lackey status. Maybe the Libs can wear an “L” on their foreheads.

Kill Shot. After Fox caved on the massive Dominion "defamation" lawsuit, Biden's disinfo-czar Nina Jankowicz, also known as "Scary Poppins" failed a lawsuit today against Fox for "defamation".

As I recall (and I could be wrong), it was understood that the dissent cable use would be circulated in-house only, and the names of the dissenters would be kept secret. This was done to allow officers to provide opinions that otherwise would never reach the "8th Floor." Dissent reports were never ever meant to be circulated outside of Foggy Bottom.

The only way that a contempt declaration can hurt Blinken is to roll it into a cylinder and poke him in the eye with it. Block funding for the salaries of some of his lackeys chosen at random. It will help with the debt ceiling for 30 or 40 seconds. I guarantee that no damage will be done to the interests of the American people.

Sll of these people are doing to things. 1). Refusing to cooperate. 2). Pleading the 5th.
[NYP] Some people say that democracy dies in darkness.
But it can die in the full light of day too.
Especially if people are prevented from seeing what’s in front of them.
This week two bombshell events happened.
On the Republican side the candidate still most favored by the party’s base to be its nominee for the Presidency lost a civil case against writer E Jean Carroll.
A New York jury found that Donald Trump had sexually abused and defamed the woman and ordered him to pay $5 million damages.
You may have heard about this.
After all, the story was splashed on the front page of The Post the next day.
[Armstrong Econ.] Potential GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is proposing to amend the Constitution, which in itself does not fall within party lines. The Constitution is not a suggestion but a standard for life in this nation. The 26th Amendment allows all adults over the age of 18 to vote for their representatives. Ramaswamy believes that only people over the age of 25 should have the right to vote, with a few exceptions.
There is a "long-standing tradition in our country, tying civic duties to the privileges of citizenship," Vivek stated. On this premise, he proposes allowing adults under 25 to vote if they have served in the military for a minimum of six months or work as first responder as a police officer or firefighter. Others under the age of 25 could take a civics test, similar to the test provided to naturalized citizens if they’d like their voice to be heard. Well, the problem is you then cannot draft them to die in foreign wars with no right to vote. Rome use to have a requirement that you had to be a property owner to even serve in the military. The idea was if you had something to lose, you would defend the country.
Some young students understand politics in greater depth than older generations. The youth may tend to vote blue, but that should not give any GOP candidate permission to silence their voices. These young adults will still be expected to pay taxes and adhere to laws implemented by their government leaders. Yet another reason why it is absurd to tax teens under the age of 18 who have no say in their representation. This policy would open the door to blocking out the votes of other demographics. Should the elderly reapply for voting rights? Should everyone be required to take a civics test? Politicians already have to beg the people to show up on election day.
The young 37-year-old candidate could have appealed to the youth in other ways. I have no problem critiquing candidates on both sides of the aisle since half of them are swimming in the same swamp. Taking away rights and amending the Constitution to tilt the election is a poor proposal.

Didn't seem to stop them from 1917-1970.

...On the one hand, the draft is never coming back anyways.
On the other, something like this might pretty much end the all-volunteer force anyways. If you're given a choice - service or no vote - I think we'd be surprised how many people in that age bracket would say the hell with it and wait.

The draft - common term used for selective service. IAW the law, all male citizen 17-45 are members of either the organized or unorganized militia. The National Guard constitute the organized militia. If you are not part of the Guard you are automatically a member of the unorganized militia and subject to selective activation as needed. This is based upon Congress's authority under Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution to organize and regulate the militia, maintained since the two militia acts of 1792 and the first Congress.
[NYPOST] Mayor Eric Adams ...Hizonner da Mare of Noo Yawk. As a Manchurian candidate, Hizonner was all in favor of law and order and that kind of stuff. Once in office, a few of his friends found cushy jobs with the city, the windows kept getting broken, and Soros-funded DA Alvin Bragg remained right where he was. Most people comfort themselves with the thought that he's not Bill di Blasio but that's pretty small comfort with kids who actually go to school getting bumped off while standing in front of them. But he's a Dem, so the rubes will vote for him next election too, so he's what they deserve... said Thursday he wants to strengthen state law so the city can commit people suffering from severe mental illness for longer — after The Post exposed a glaring gap that allowed Jordan Neely to stroll out of court-mandated treatment less than three months before his death.
Adams’ call for Albany politicians to expand Kendra’s Law came in response to a Post report this week that found Neely — the troubled 30-year-old homeless man strangled to death on the subway — was able to check himself out of a mental health program he had been sent to as part of a plea deal in an assault case.
"People who are dealing with a severe mental health illness can’t make the determination [about] what kind of care they want," Adams said at a presser when asked about the nature of the case.
The mayor said he wants changes to Kendra’s Law — which lets the courts mandate outpatient treatment for people with serious mental illness — that would allow the city to get people into treatment who are considered a danger to themselves.
"We’re hoping we can get Kendra’s Law adjusted to give people the clear understanding that if this person is dealing with a major mental health illness where they can’t take care of themselves, and they’re a danger to themselves, that we’re allowed to keep them and give them the services they need," Adams said.
The mayor also wants to raise the standards people must meet before they can sign themselves out of treatment facilities.
"It can’t be, ’OK, I’m alright for this moment,'" Adams said. "No. It takes a while to know if you stabilize. That’s what we’re pushing for."

How are they going to house all the NY democrats?
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
