Howdy y'all, Earlier, our brother, USArmyRangerVet, recommended this article to us. A little while before that our sister, PauletteRevere, had posted a link to it as well saying she disagreed with it.  So, what do the rest of you think? Is the FBI generally good people with corrupt individuals who should be removed, or is the majority of the bureau rotten and should be completely done away with? Share your thoughts below! Here's the article: By MARK ALEXANDER “Human nature itself is evermore an advocate for liberty. There is also in human nature a resentment of injury, and indignation against wrong. A love of truth and a veneration of virtue. These amiable passions, are the ‘latent spark’… If the people are capable of understanding, seeing and feeling the differences between true and false, right and wrong, virtue and vice, to what better principle can the friends of mankind apply than to the sense of this difference?” —John Adams (1775) The Dep...

By Tom Knighton If gun control advocates get their way, what will happen? Obviously, if they’re allowed to completely ignore the Second Amendment, we’re going to get a total gun ban the likes of which even the UK would look at us and think, “Hold up a sec, Hoss!” But would that be the end of it? Maj Toure, founder of Black Guns Matter  doesn’t seem to think so . Toure said the Second Amendment is the foundation of liberty in the United States but as more restrictions are placed on gun ownership, we get closer to complete government take over. “But that [U.S.] Constitution, in the Bill of Rights, is there to check government, not to check the people. But if we keep convincing people that, ‘Oh, this is for your protection’ or restricting the people, we’re going to create another communist regime,” Toure said during a recent interview with EpochTV’s American Thought Leaders program on Aug. 20 at the Turning Point USA Conference. Necessity of Second Amendment “The reason why the conver...

By Washington Examiner W all Street is up in arms. Why? Because  Joe Biden  — the presidential candidate they supported, coming from the political party they have now supported for several elections in a row — is stabbing them in the back. The  Wall Street Journal   reported this week  that the financial industry is angrily pushing back against a bevy of expensive and expansive regulations issued by Biden's  Securities and Exchange Commission  chairman, Gary Gensler. Among other things, the Biden SEC is attempting to force businesses to make irrelevant and unnecessary disclosures about climate change at great expense to their shareholders. Gensler is also trying to provide an illegal regulatory subsidy to the environmental, social, and governance, or ESG, movement by creating new standards for mutual funds and private equity firms that advertise themselves as ESG. The many objectionable changes are not based in any legislation passed by Cong...

By KAREN TOWNSEND The mayor of New York City is standing in front of television cameras every day to slam Texas Governor Greg Abbott for bussing illegal migrants to his city. The buses are paid for by Texas taxpayers and the goal is to highlight the Biden border crisis. The indignant mayor doesn’t mention Arizona Governor Doug Ducey in his rants about how anti-American and unpatriotic Abbott is for moving illegal migrants away from the overcrowding at the border. Interestingly enough, he also has not mentioned that the City of El Paso is sending buses to NYC, too, and being reimbursed by FEMA. Funny how that happens. The Biden administration is paying for buses from El Paso to bring illegal migrants to New York City through a grant program. FEMA covers the travel costs, according to El Paso Deputy City Manager Mario D’Agostino. “The travel costs for migrants are covered through FEMA’s emergency food and shelter grant. The City/OEM submits for reimbursement on a quarterly ...

By Bonchie John Fetterman, the Democrat running for Senate in Pennsylvania, is not well. That much has been made clear by his  recent public appearances . His speaking has been concerning, to say the least, and the lingering effects of his massive stroke, brought on by ignoring his doctor for half a decade, have shown him to be completely unfit to run for the office he’s seeking. More recently, Mehmet Oz, the Republican in the race, has made Fettermans’ health an issue, specifically regarding the coming non-partisan debate scheduled in Pittsburgh. Would the Democrat, who can’t currently form coherent sentences and has been running a meme campaign, show up? We have an answer: Fetterman has officially chickened out. Fetterman pulls out of KDKA debate. pic.twitter.com/7svzLrN3zW — Dr. Mehmet Oz (@DrOz) August 30, 2022 Laughably, Fetterman’s excuse for not showing up is that Oz made fun of him. No, I’m not kidding. The clown who has spent his entire campaign making New Jersey jokes i...

By Hannah Nightingale In a new video released by  Project Veritas  on Tuesday, the Assistant Principle of Cos Cob Elementary School in Connecticut was captured boasting about how he doesn’t hire Catholic teachers, and how the teachers at the  school sneak liberal ways of thinking into their teaching methods. "You’re teaching them how to think. That’s it. It doesn’t matter what they think about. If they think about it in a logical, progressive way, that becomes their habit," Jeremy Boland was captured saying in an undercover conversation with a  Project Veritas  Journalist. "So, you kind of like, gear them to think in a more liberal way?" the  Project Veritas  journalist asked. Boland replied with a yes, before later adding, "believe it or not, the open-minded, more progressive teachers are actually more savvy about delivering a Democratic message without really ever having to mention their politics." "It’s subtly. They’ll never say,...
