Understood.
But who does the enforcing of constitutional provisions and restrictions?
The same Justice Department that doesn't enforce many constitutional provisions and many constitutional laws?
The same Justice Department that manufactures evidence and persecutes critics of liberal administrations?
The same elected officials and bureaucrats of the executive branch who do not enforce many of our laws and perverts the enforcement of others (ie: Patriot Act)?

Reluctant Witness Devastates Defense Claims In Special Counsel Criminal Case
James Baker’s testimony yesterday in United States v. Sussmann proved devasting to the former Clinton campaign attorney both in substance and in circumstance.
Former FBI General Counsel James Baker felt responsible for dragging his friend Michael Sussmann “into a maelstrom,” yet remained “100 percent confident” that Sussmann had claimed, when providing Baker the Alfa Bank “intel,” that he was not there “on behalf of any particular client.” Baker’s testimony yesterday in United States v. Sussmann proved devasting to the former Hillary Clinton campaign attorney both in substance and in circumstance.
The indictment charged Sussmann with violating Section 1001 of the federal criminal code by telling Baker he was passing on the Alfa Bank information as a concerned citizen, not on behalf of any client, when in fact Sussmann represented both the Clinton campaign and tech executive Rodney Joffe. Earlier this week, during opening arguments, Sussmann’s legal team told the jury that prosecutors would be unable to establish what Sussmann actually said to Baker and would fail to prove the alleged lie “mattered.”
Yesterday, Baker proved Sussmann’s high-powered Latham and Watkins’ attorneys wrong when the former FBI general counsel testified he was “100 percent confident” that Sussmann had denied acting “on behalf of any particular client” during their September 19, 2016 meeting. “My memory on this point, sitting here today, is clear,” Baker told the jury.
Sussmann made the comments “pretty close to the beginning of the meeting,” Baker explained, noting it was “part of his introduction to the meeting.” Sussmann would go on to provide Baker with two thumb drives and several whitepapers, which Baker said Sussmann explained concerned “an apparent surreptitious communications channel between Alfa-Bank, which he described as being connected to the Kremlin in Russia, and some part of the Trump Organization in the U.S.”
Besides attesting to his 100 percent confidence level in what Sussmann had said, Baker explained to the jury his apparent earlier equivocation about Sussmann’s representations. When asked by lead prosecutor Andrew DeFilippis about his congressional testimony in which he appeared not to remember Sussmann’s statements, Baker told the jury he had not prepared for questions about his meeting with Sussmann and had not refreshed his memory at the time.
The transcript of his House testimony confirms that the congressional hearing’s focus concerned the Christopher Steele dossier and not Sussmann or the Alfa Bank hoax. Baker’s full testimony reveals he was a witness caught off-guard by a topic and attempting to recall the events while being peppered with questions.
Baker further testified on Thursday that “it wasn’t until Durham’s investigators began ‘homing in’ on meeting with Sussmann in June 2020 that he thought in detail about what Sussmann said about not having a client.”
A jury is likely to find Baker’s explanation believable given Baker’s belated discovery of a text message Sussmann sent to Baker the night before the September 19, 2016 meeting. “I’m coming on my own – not on behalf of a client or company. [W]ant to help the Bureau,” the text from Sussmann to Baker read.
Baker’s Thursday testimony also helped seal a second substantive point being challenged by Sussmann’s defense: the government’s claim that Sussmann’s alleged lie “mattered.”

I can’t believe it’s Monkey pox season already. I still have my Ukraine decorations up.

Chicken wings for $34! Bidenflation of 9.4% is forcing retailers to charge market prices for WINGS as local businesses are pushed to the brink
Sal and Mookies owners Jeff Good and Dan Blumenthal have been forced to raise their chicken wing prices from $13.95 to market value up to $27.95
However, Good said the ‘real cost’ is $34, as flour and cooking oil is up as well
Food inflation is up 9.4 percent in April and staple foods, such as meat and dairy, are also skyrocketing
Flour alone jumped 40 percent, oil 41 percent, butter 51 percent, and eggs surged a whopping 220 percent in the last 12 months
Consumers are expected to see ‘sizable hikes’ in the coming months as prices are surging faster than the percentage is being calculated
“ “an apparent surreptitious communications channel between Alfa-Bank, which he described as being connected to the Kremlin in Russia, and some part of the Trump Organization in the U.S.”
Would renting office space in Trump Tower count as “some part of the Trump Organization in the U.S.”? I try not to hate people but it is becoming a losing battle.
We just got a long-awaited vote update from Allegheny County, where 21 of the 31 precincts that weren’t tallied on Election nigh were just reported out, 809 votes total:
Oz 316
McCormick 288
This bumps Oz statewide lead to 1,115. Significant b/c Allegheny is McCormick’s base.— Steve Kornacki (@SteveKornacki) May 20, 2022
McCormick had been expecting to gain on Oz with the remaining Allegheny votes. There are still 10 precincts left to report, so he could do better with those, but this new report is good news for Oz.— Steve Kornacki (@SteveKornacki) May 20, 2022
APPALLING: Teen Girl Disappears at NBA Game and Turns Up 11 Days Later in Nude Photos on Sex Trafficking Site
The girl went to the restroom before halftime. When she didn’t return, the father told security she was missing. The arena was searched, the girl wasn’t found, and the father was told to go home.
Surveillance video shows the girl leaving the arena with a man in his 40s.
The father called the Dallas Police Department and was told to call the cops in his hometown of North Richland Hills, thinking the girl was a runaway. The North Richland Hills Police in turn told him to call the Dallas Police because that is where she disappeared.
The American Airlines Center claims the man who was seen leaving with the girl got in with a counterfeit ticket.
Eleven days later her parents were sent a nude picture of her from a sex trafficking site.
Frustrated with the Dallas Police Department, the family contacted the Houston-based Texas Counter-Trafficking Initiative. The girl’s parents gave them a picture of the missing teen.

Using facial recognition technology, the Texas Counter-Trafficking Initiative was able to locate the girl in less than a day. She was being trafficked almost 200 miles away in Oklahoma City.

Thanks for posting this.
Will read, in a few.
key issue: International financing for pandemics, from those according to his ability to pay (USA) to each (all other nations) according to his needs - folks, we are seeing the reset to global socialism/Marxism.
OMG.....this is horrifying! EVERY parent’s worst nightmare.
Thank God she was found.
These parents will be able to sue the fire out of these groups....not that that erases any of the harm done, to their daughter....but, maybe these venues/PDs, etc will do MORE (like the Houston group proved CAN be done!) to prevent more of these evil abductions, for trafficking.
Just terrible, but...so thankful she has been found.
so the WHO wants to be the sole point of sale for all medications and medical equipment, to be distributed, not to those that are sick, but equitably to those they deem most vulnerable.
Good news. Thx!
The jury is likely to believe his sudden recuperation from amnesia.
