Maybe they want to reconnect Trump, so they stage a major media event by BANNING him again.

#8  Click away from Facebook. You don't need it. Nobody does. They'd be lucky if Trump went back to it but Trump would be smart to stay away from it.

What is a Facebook page anyway? It's a web page, kinda like Rantburg. The difference is that Fred has total control of Rantburg while people who have Facebook pages have only limited control. Facebook is owned and operated by Mark Zuckerberg so it's really his web page, not yours.

If you really need a presence on the internet, which most of us don't, get an account with a reputable internet service provider and develop your own web page. Learn to code...HTML that is. It's really not that hard.

Government Corruption
'Former CIA Director Accuses Horse Schiff Of Leaking Classified Information
[Daily Wire] Former Trump administration official Mike Pompeo accused Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) of leaking classified information.

The fresh allegation was made after Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) blocked Schiff’s appointment to remain on the House Intelligence Committee, where he served as chairman for the last four years.

"During my time as CIA director and secretary of state, I know that he leaked classified information that had been provided to him," Pompeo said on Fox News on Wednesday.

Pompeo did not offer specifics, but he insisted the problem was bad enough to restrict what he shared with Congress.

Underscoring what a serious charge that is, "Outnumbered" co-host Emily Compagno pressed Pompeo on why there hasn’t been accountability if such leaks would be "a felony at minimum, up to treason."

"It’s a complicated process, right? It’s difficult to pin down precisely what happened," Pompeo said. "But I could tell you that when we provided information to him and to his staff, it ended up in places it shouldn’t have been with alarming regularity. We could see it. In the end, I decided, I held back information from them as a result."

#1  If Pompeo thought Schiff was "leaking" classified documents, confirmatiↄn would have been a very straight forward process.

I still think the BCF (Biden Crime Family) had their classified docs dropped off at the Delaware residence.

#3  Democrats mishandling classified information isn't a crime. Hillary did it and didn't go to prison, Clapper did it and didn't go to prison, Biden isn't going to prison, and Schiff isn't going to prison either.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib released statement supporting Antifa gunman who tried to kill Georgia state trooper, is flying Paleo flag at DC office in defiance of imaginary Israeli law
[TWITTER]

Tlaib flies Paleostinian flag at US office after Ben Gvir tries to ban them in Israel

[IsraelTimes] Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib has placed a Paleostinian flag outside of her office in the US Congress in response to National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir’s effort to have the national symbol banned in Israel.

"Paleostinians may be banned from flying their flag under an apartheid government, but we can still proudly do it at my office. I’m proud to be a Paleostinian American and I want the Paleostinian people to know that not all Americans support apartheid. No one can erase our existence," Tlaib tweets.

Israeli law permits the display of Paleostinian flags, though police have wide leeway to take action to maintain public order and regularly remove them from public spaces and confiscate the flags from those waving them.

Ben Gvir has directed police to impose a blanket ban on the flags, but has received pushback from law enforcement over legal constraints.

#2  So we have an LSD official for Michigan's 12th congressional district openly supporting a murderous International Terrorist Group and a Domestic Terrorist. Despite the domestic terrorist having used a ILLEGAL obtained or carried firearm, while he was attempting to murder a police enforcing established Laws.

So, again, we see the usual double legal standard being applied. Given the LSD's open hatred of the 2nd amendment, only when in the hands of a Constitution following citizen.

But, NOT their own.

She should be censored by the House Ethics Committee and removed from any committees she made be on.

#4  I want Rashida Tlaib to be the keynote speaker at the next Democrat Presidential Convention.

One big advantage the Democrats had in 2020 was their non convention.

Most voters give little time to politics but many see the conventions.

#6  As best as I can ascertain from a historical study of Congress calls for any Dem to be brought before the ethics committee will guarantee that Talib be assigned as ranking member of the Ethics Committee. Schiff and Swallwell are examples of their counterintuitive assignment strategy. There are so many others: Omar on International relations, the guy who thought Guam could capsize, Feinstein to any committee that doesn’t include a Bingo caller. Dems seem to want their members to work on their weaknesses. I think there is a limit to the number of folks that can be assigned to any committee so that may prevent Talib’s assignment until other more senior retrobates retire.

#7  #2 This has been the environment for years. At what point do we stop pointing and actually start fighting back? An earnest question as I don't see anything at the moment that comes close to moving the electorate. It would seem we've been completely anesthetized against all that the Left is doing to us as they suck the life force from us.

#8  When LBJ ran for pres in '64 there was a book called "None Dare Call It Treason".

Think it's time for a re-write.

#9  That image at #1 reminds me of the video “Who Let the Dogs Out” where all the hot (R) women were featured as well as all the (D) Two-baggers. And back to that image; a solid rip-stop 3 Bagger if I ever saw one……

#10  It seems Rep. Rashida Tlaib is on the other side.
