It's so egregious. So politically motivated. So nakedly abusive. You have done a great job documenting it, presenting it as what it clearly is. Yet, there is no fire alarm coming from our congress. No hue and cry from the citizenry. Why? What does this apathy portend?

I used to think the armed conservative wing of the country would only take so much. I guess I was wrong. I'm old. I'm out of here soon enough. No problem.

If you are young to middle aged, you are screwed when they come for you.

Remember, they're trying to nudge us into just the kind of aggression you're talking about - if they can get us to blow, they can justify bringing out the big guns and declare Marshall law. Thankfully, armed Americans aren't taking the bait (as tempting as it is, and as much as it would be justified).

The Second Amendment is just an expensive hobby for most people in spite of all the rhetoric on BB, CFP and other Conservative sites.

It was never intended to be a hobby. It was supposed to be an insurance policy. I guess the underwriters guessed wrong

In their worst nightmares they couldn’t have seen this coming. Not the situation where the government would go rogue. They definitely saw that. What they didn’t see is how apathetic the population would become.

Americans are getting more and more "fed" up with every new aggression by our government, and Garland's pathetic testimony makes us even more angry and eager for them to get theirs. They are creating a pressure cooker against themselves...

Every time I get angry at Mitch McConnell, I think back to 2016. Thanks to Mitch, Merrick Garland is not current Supreme Court justice. But he has presided over a politicized Justice Department Richard Nixon would envy. This is one scary guy. Yet he looks and acts like a milksop. And he's destroyed hundreds, perhaps thousands of American's lives, I guess 'cause he can and 'cause he enjoys it.

In 2016 everyone, no doubt even McConnell, expected Hillary to win and the democrats repeatedly told him that they were going to put someone far more to the left than the “moderate” Merrick Garland when they took over yet he held firm. Why? Could it be that Mitch actually wanted someone far more leftist on the Supreme Court and that’s why he continued to block Garland for the Court and believed he would get that once Hillary took over?

This should be obvious. The 2024 election is not about Trump v Biden. It’s all about Trump v the CIA, FBI, DHS, IRS, EPA etc. Our Constitutional government, as designed, even by the federalists, and certainly by the anti-federalists was never to have agencies within the government, and especially within only one branch, the branch most likely to infringe upon natural rights, with powers never Constitutionally granted or even dreamed about.

Barak Obama, the 1999 Chicago bathhouse attendee, was right. America needs to fundamentally change, but not the way his racist, bigoted mind thinks it should. It needs to remove the concentration of power in the Executive Branch and that necessity is many decades overdue. It is why America, in 2023, is in the sorry plight it is in, headed by a sorry sot of a President, that makes Jack Nicholson, post his frontal lobotomy in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”, seem like Gary Kasparov by comparison.

Oh and Garland needs to tone down on his Drama Queen moments! He deserves two big WOOFS for how he howled with false bravado...and the questioners still didn't believe that road rat pizza brained jerk!

Oops, did I share too much?

MTG is one of our best. She is absolutely furious over the stupidity of the garbage that rules us. I feel the same way. The harder the pigs in our ruling class work to destroy the country the more rage there will be against them. This is unsustainable. This is simply not working at all. This GOP Senator is also furious about this. First time I’ve seen her but both videos are very good examples of how rapidly this “migrant crisis” is shredding the social fabric of our society. This is rapidly spinning out of control and making our country ever more ungovernable since it’s increasingly less of a country.

I trust MTG and if she trusts McCarthy enough to support him that’s good enough for me.

So disturbing. I subscribed to the New Yorker magazine for many years and always appreciated their profiles of wrongly convicted or accused individuals and the (usually) successful efforts to secure their freedom. It's a meme I know, but the silence now is deafening. Why is there only one brave woman in America covering this?!! Thank you, Julie.

Open borders, dumbed down schools that poison children with Woke race and gender pathologies, the constant demonization of “Whiteness!” and the campaign to replace meritocracy wherever it can be found with Equity aka Equal Outcomes are just a few of the many ways the democrats have destroyed the social fabric of this society. How can we possibly ever put the pieces of this society back together and make it function as a country again? I just can’t see how we could even fix one of their crimes like flooding the country with “migrants” aka illegals, mostly single young men that we know nothing at all about. We’re not heading for civil war though. We’re heading for civilizational collapse which is already underway in cities like Chicago.

Garland lies like a 3 year-old.

So sure that, if he says it like “he” believes it, maybe it’s true.

Here’s another tough woman telling Merrick Garland what she thinks of his so called “Department of Justice” which is just another totally corrupt part of our despicably evil government. Even Putin is now pointing out how full of rot it is. Does America even still exist as a country?

On a positive note, the populist left is boiling over this BS. I'm a lifelong Republican and Trump supporter, but most of the podcasters I listen to are outcast liberals: Jimmy Dore, Tim Poole, Matt Taibii, Sasha Stone, RFK Jr., Bret Weinstein, etc. Voices from the left. God bless them one and all.

Superb and fascinating video of what Bret Weinstein has to say about Biden’s use of the phrase “a clear and present danger” in his Red Wall speech. In effect, he declared war on the 75 million Americans who voted for and support Trump. And most democrats cheered this. Our ruling class has become quite destructively insane. And these are the people who claim to believe in “Freedom and Democracy”? This is just not working at all.

Thank you for the links. I watched both videos. They were excellent.

Have you seen the documentary about what Bret and Heather went through at Evergreen State? Unbelievable!

Here is the link:

I had seen that. I followed the story right from the beginning. The democrats hated Bret and Heather for opposing the Evergreen mob and really hated them after Bret went on Fox to talk about what happened with Tucker who they see as the epitome of White Supremacy and Evil. They are quite insane. This is just not working at all.

Garland needs to be impeached! Thank you for your work on J6! So few many are paying attention to this and it’s a disgrace to our supposed system of justice! Justice has a severe way of correcting itself when abuses become apparent! 2024!

Merrick Garland is fooling very few folks with both his theatrics during the congressional hearing plus his obvious weaponization of the DOJ.
