We hear of many schemes to promote government “efficiency.” The problem is that the very nature of government makes “efficiency” impossible.

Setting Off Alarms! Dem Jamaal Bowman Wants Biden to Pardon Death Row Murderers and Rapists – Twitchy
December 4, 2024
Democrat Representative Jamaal Bowman just can’t keep his ignorant mouth shut. We recently told you how he believes President Joe Biden never lied when promising NOT to ever pardon Hunter Biden. Now he wants Biden to issue more pardons that will set death row murderers and rapists free. No, he really does! (WATCH) Rep. Jamaal Bowman says Biden should pardon everyone on death row.pic.twitter.com/dln54r66Ab — Defiant L’s (@DefiantLs) December 3, 2024 Yes, that’s as insane as it sounds. But, it makes sense when you recall Democrats regularly elevate criminals over law-abiding Americans. So a Democrat wants to turn murderers and r*pists lose on the American public. That sounds about right. — Charles Watson (@cwatson34) December 3, 2024 The Dems loves thugs and criminals so this makes sense. — Courage Is A Habit (@CourageHabit) December 3, 2024 What an unintelligent man! That makes a lot of sense. Release violent felons onto the streets. These people hate America! — Mandy Rose (@themandyrosy) December 3, 2024 Pardon the worst m*rderers in the country?Wtf — ovrt1me (@OVRT1ME) December 3, 2024 For the sake of the Democrat Party, you’d… Read the full article here […]
Will Kash Patel Fix the FBI—or Break It?
December 4, 2024
Kash Patel, Donald Trump’s choice to be his FBI director, is the kind of man you nominate if you intend to break something. In this case, it is what the president-elect calls the deep state. And the bureau Patel hopes to lead should brace for the worst. “I’d shut down the FBI Hoover Building on day one and reopen it the next day as a museum of the deep state,” he told podcaster Shawn Ryan this fall. In his 2023 book, Government Gangsters, he minces no words in appraising the class of officials who comprise the deep state. They are “swamp creatures,” “spiteful mandarins,” even “dirtbags.” The media? Don’t get him started. Last year on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast, Patel said the next administration would “find the conspirators, not just in government but in the media; yes, we’re gonna come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens, who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections. We’re going to come after you, whether it’s criminally or civilly, we’ll figure that out—but yeah, we’re putting you all on notice.” A decade ago, anyone who said such a thing would be disqualified from running the FBI. But for the… Read the full article here […]
MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow Defends Biden’s Pardon of Son Hunter Because of Course She Does (VIDEO) | The Gateway Pundit
December 4, 2024
While many Democrats are upset about Joe Biden’s pardoning of his son Hunter, because it makes them look like total hypocrites and liars, some people on the left are defending Biden’s decision. One of those people is MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, who is trying to tie Biden’s decision to Trump and his FBI pick Kash Patel. In Maddow’s mind, Biden’s choice makes perfect sense because Patel has made it clear that he wants to go after the rot in the Deep State. For Rachel, this completely justifies Biden’s move. Transcript via Real Clear Politics: It is true that President Biden had said he wouldn’t pardon his son. And it may or may not be related, but would it change your mind at all if after you made a pledge like that, the incoming next president then announced that he planned to remove the director of the FBI and install in his place someone who has literally published a hit list of people he wants to go after once Trump is back in power? There are 60 names on this list. This guy published it as an appendix — as appendix B to one of his recent books. Not his series of books that described Trump as King Donald — no, those are history books for kids. No, the… Read the full article here […]
NYC Mayor Adams: “I made it clear I’m not going to be WARRING with this Administration, I’m going to be WORKING with this Administration.”
December 4, 2024
New York City Democrat Mayor Eric Adams shared he would love to sit down with Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, to discuss deporting immigrant criminals. QUOTE: “I made it clear I’m not going to be WARRING with this Administration, I’m going to be WORKING with this Administration.” Wow! Take a look: BREAKING: New York City Mayor Eric Adams says he will be working with the Trump administration: “I reached out to [President Trump]…and I made it clear that I’m not going to be warring with this administration, I’m going to be working with this administration.” Adams also… pic.twitter.com/I5xV8kDbuX — Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) December 3, 2024 Adams continued: “My position is people who commit crimes in our city, you have abdicated your right to be in our city and I am open to figure out the best way to address that.” He says cancel him all you want, he doesn’t care: “Cancel me because I’m going to protect the people of this city.” “Those who are here committing crimes, robberies, sh**ting at police officers, r*ping innocent people have been a harm to our country,” added Adams.

Libs Are Shocked That Biden Is a Liar. Wait Until They See His Encore. – PJ Media
December 4, 2024
I watched with suspicion as various left-wingers seemed surprised that Joe Biden lied and pardoned his crack-puffin’, gun-buyin’, bribe-takin’, tax-dodgin’ progeny. Are they really shocked, or are they feigning their gobsmackery like I did that time I siphoned some of my dad’s Canadian Club, unaware he had cleverly marked the depth of his whiskey with a pencil? “Someone drank your hooch? OMG, Dad!” Busted. Yes, I believe that some leftoids—we will call them “useful idiots”—are truly shocked that Biden, with all his on-camera, avuncular cheerfulness, is actually an evil (I’ll get to that in a bit), lying liar head. FACT-O-RAMA! The phrase “useful idiots” comes from Lenin’s inner circle. It describes people who actually believe that communist Weltanschauung is a good thing. Lenin, of course, knew better. He was just a vile pinko who wanted to rule the world. As I like to say on my daily radio show, which you should be listening to every day, “Tyranny comes disguised as virtue.” These are the same people who dutifully believed that facinorous, MAGA-capped, Project 2025 devotees were doctoring “deep fake” videos of Biden staring off into space as he… Read the full article here […]
‘I Could’ Support Biden Pardoning Trump, There Are ‘Things That Could Impede Our Federal Government’
December 4, 2024
On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Laura Coates Live,” Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) said that he could support President Joe Biden pardoning President-Elect Donald Trump and stated that he’s not talking about any state charges, “I’m talking about things that could impede our federal government,” and that he could support a pardon for Trump “Because the Supreme Court has pretty much made it very clear, that he is preemptively pardoned of anything he may do as president.” Host Laura Coates asked, [relevant exchange begins around 27:25] “I don’t know if you heard, the former Democrat, now Independent Sen. Joe Manchin (I-WV) had a recommendation that he made. He was talking about cleaning the slate, and he suggested that President Biden should pardon President-Elect Trump. What do you think of that?” Clyburn responded, “Well, I’ve said to people that I’m in that category as well. I did see what Manchin had to say. Remember that Trump has not been convicted of anything in the federal realm. Those convictions are state convictions. So, I’m not talking about state here. I’m talking about things that could impede our federal government, and so, I… Read the full article here […]
‘Morning Joe’ Hits New Low As Brutal Post-Election Slump Worsens
December 4, 2024
Once a flagship program for the network, MSNBC’s Morning Joe is facing its toughest test yet as viewers continue to tune out in droves. The ratings for the morning talk show hit new lows this week, further straining its position amid upheaval at parent company Comcast. On Tuesday, Nielsen reported that Morning Joe attracted just 680,000 total viewers, a 12 percent drop from Monday’s broadcast. The program also struggled in the highly sought-after demographic of adults aged 25-54, drawing only 86,000 viewers — another 12 percent decline. The figures mark a steep 38 percent drop in total audience and a 37 percent decline in the key demo compared to the show’s average for 2024. Tuesday’s broadcast was the third-lowest-rated of the year according to The Independent. The timing couldn’t be worse for the long-running program hosted by Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski. On Wednesday, Comcast announced plans to spin off much of NBCUniversal’s cable channel lineup, including MSNBC and CNBC, as part of a strategic pivot to adapt to the ongoing trend of cord-cutting. Mark Lazarus, the present chairman of NBCUniversal Media Group, is set to become the CEO… […]
Trust in the FBI has cratered among Americans, says CNN pollster
December 4, 2024
CNN poll analyst Harry Enten documented how Americans have drastically lost trust in the Federal Bureau of Investigation through the past decades. President-elect Donald Trump nominated former National Security Council official Kash Patel as director of the FBI over loud protest from many on the left and some establishment Republicans. ‘That is by far the lowest number this century.’ Enten showed that polling had found a large majority had faith in the FBI doing a good or excellent job, about 59% in 2014. That dropped to 57% in 2019, 50% in 2022, and a shocking 41% in 2024. “Look at where we are today, my goodness gracious, just 41% of Americans think the FBI is doing an excellent or good job. That is by far the lowest number this century,” he said. “The bottom line is during the Trump administration obviously there were the investigations into Donald Trump. You saw a little bit of drop then and then post-January 6, look at that drop. 50%, now 41%. My goodness gracious.” Enten said the low trust in the FBI meant that drastic changes made to the Bureau would likely meet with little resistance. “I think Patel has real reason to believe that Americans would go along… Read the full article here […]
CA Judge Terminates Hunter’s Tax Case, Eviscerates Joe’s Rationale – RedState
December 4, 2024
The fallout from President Joe Biden’s pardon of his ne’er do well son Hunter continues as the loose ends of the two federal criminal cases against the First Son are tied up. As we reported Sunday, while acknowledging the president’s authority to issue the pardon, the Department of Justice, through Special Counsel David Weiss, objected to the cases being dismissed outright, arguing that the pardon doesn’t negate the indictment or the guilt; it merely calls for the case against the pardoned person to be “terminated.” In lodging the objection, Weiss pointed out that Biden’s contention that his was a politicized prosecution was found to be hogwash by multiple courts, noting, “In total, eleven (11) different Article III judges appointed by six (6) different presidents, including his father, considered and rejected the defendant’s claims, including his claims for selective and vindictive prosecution.” Monday morning, Judge Maryellen Noreika acceded to the DOJ’s point and, rather than dismissing the Delaware gun case outright, as requested by Hunter’s attorneys, simply terminated the case.

CNN Claims Kash Patel is the Target of an Iranian Hack and No One is Buying It – Twitchy
December 4, 2024
CNN is reporting that some of Kash Patel’s communications have been hacked Iranians. We’ll give you a second to do an eyeroll. Yep, we’re not buying it either. As you know, Patel is Trump’s pick to head the FBI. We’ve been wondering when these ‘foreign’ hacks would start. Now we know! Here’s what CNN has to say. Kash Patel, Trump’s pick to lead the FBI, has been targeted in an Iranian hack, sources say. https://t.co/Zsz82G7FPl — CNN (@CNN) December 4, 2024 We hope that Kash didn’t have any earth-shattering revelations from his high school days on any of his devices. We covered that huge story here. Go read it, we’ll wait for you. Welcome back! Pretty hilarious, wasn’t it? Well, back to the ‘Iranian’ hack. Yep, no one’s buying it. Check out these comments. Nice try FBI. They really think we’re this dumb. The FBI absolutely did this, and we’ll see the most damning details, real or not, published all over the media this week. Then Democrats, and some Republicans, will finish off the wrap up smear. — Someone Important (@justimportant2) December 4, 2024 So we have Iranians in the US government now 🙄 — Based… Read the full article here […]
