🚨CCP ALERT🚨

DOJ and FBI have disabled 13 websites that were trying to collect sensitive U.S. government information from Americans with security clearances.

The websites were allegedly operated by Chinese agents.

Starting in November 2023, the group created fake consulting company websites.

These sites posted job ads that looked like normal “consulting” work and targeted current or former U.S. government and military employees.

The goal was to recruit people who have access to classified or sensitive U.S. information on topics important to the Chinese government.

"All eight ex-judges who filed suit also said their firings were partially motivated by their prior advocacy for immigrants or affiliation with the Democratic party."

That is absolutely grounds for termination. Anyway, the Slaughter case might make their suits untenable.

I was assured this was only bc Trump is selfish

[Shipwreckedcrew @shipwreckedcrew]

I'm going to have to break with NRO on this because I fundamentally disagree with this sentence from the editorial:

"...Trump’s unworthy and abusive campaign to investigate and prosecute his political opponents."

Trump didn't make these individuals his "political opponents" -- that reverses the causation.

The fact that individuals launch misguided and/or illegitimate efforts at a sitting President, or at an individual out of office with an intent to run for office again, does NOT then become provide them with a cloak of immunity from their own potential criminal behavior.

To dismiss all the investigations as "retribution" - and declare them illegitimate based on that label -- is de facto immunity they purchased for themselves by going first.

The cautionary tale in this is as follows:

Do not employ the criminal justice system as a political tool to stymie the implementation of policies you disagree with after losing an election.

Political motives should not provide protection from an investigation as to whether your own conduct was, in fact, legal.

It’s not just the rank dishonesty throughout this piece (for example, the Comey and James indictments were not tossed because they were “weak”)—-it’s the (once again) defense of the Biden DOJ that is so infuriating here.

WTF? “The group seeks to discredit the Biden DOJ as inherently corrupt. The idea is to brand as fraudulent the Biden-era special counsel’s two indictments of Trump (notwithstanding significant proof of misconduct) and to rationalize the president’s pardons of Capitol rioters.”

“Significant proof of misconduct.”

McCarthy and NRO continue to run interference for Biden DOJ and defend the indictments against the president and J6ers without any acknowledgement of the political motives AND misconduct behind those investigations.

No acknowledgment of the unprecedented, dangerous, and unnecessary raid of MAL. Or that FBI agents brought classified cover sheets (agents with no classification expertise) to use for a stunt photo during the raid.

No acknowledgment of Jack Smith’s overreach in J6 case, which resulted in a smack down by SCOTUS, which resulted in the removal of 9 pages of the initial indictment, and one co-defendant.

No acknowledgment of SCOTUS overturning 1512(c)(2)—which McCarthy said had been appropriately applied (wrong again)—in J6 cases.

After hounding Pam Bondi in a multi-party series that launched shortly after her confirmation (hmmmm), McCarthy and NRO now dishing out more dishonesty, more revised history, and more whitewashing of this systemically corrupt DOJ to attack Blanche.

It’s incredible how willingly they lie just to try to own Trump.

"Things might be tight right now" as LA just voted to raise sales tax to 10.25% and, oh yeah, you're making fun of a father whose house BURNED TO THE GROUND due to the failure of Karen Bass, & who wanted to solve the homelessness caused by Nithya Raman's failed policies.

Austin Metcalf's dad, Jeff, just unloaded on Karmelo Anthony.
"We were robbed, don't look down, of all of these things."
"I said from day one, this was never about race, please don't politicize it. But what did you choose to do, both. It's about right and wrong. We're all humans. We all bleed the same color.
"You're free to make choices all you want, but you're not free from those consequences. You will face those consequences starting today." 
"People think that grief is sadness but its not. IT"S RAGE!!! (slamming his hands on the table.) Pure unfiltered rage,' he shouts.
"You failed your parents, your failed yourself and you failed society, You don't belong in this community," he says to Karmelo.
"You're going to prison, You can't even look me in the eyes right now but you can stab my fu**ing son in the heart."

Heinrich Himmler, chief architect of the Nazi concentration camp system, proudly brandished the Totenkopf that @grahamformaine placed on his (now concealed) chest.

Never in my wildest nightmares did I think that someone with that symbol could ever be so close to power again.

[Bederow Law @Bederowlaw]

This woman and current U.S. representative previously was a criminal defense attorney in a large city. And yet she doesn't understand that anything can become a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument if used in a manner that can cause serious injury or death? Things like cars, baseball bats, a frying pan are not generally such items but can be depending how they are used (like a blow to the head by a bat or being run over by a car). And yes, this includes...taking a knife and plunging it into someone's chest. Just profoundly stupid and/or disingenuous commentary by someone who is trained and experienced in criminal law.

[Hans Mahncke @HansMahncke]

The killers commit the beheadings but those who talk about it get accused of inciting it. The inversion is so blatant it should be self-evidently absurd, yet it has become so normalized by politicians and the media that a lot of people barely seem to notice how grotesque it is.

BREAKING:

The asylum seeker who sparked huge riots in Belfast by trying to behead a local has been named as Hadi Alodid.

He’s from Khartoum in Sudan. The city is currently under control of the Muslim Brotherhood-allied Sudanese Armed Forces. Beheadings are an Islamist specialty
