BRING THEM BACK!
You broke the code.
I’m praying that we have good men like Bernier and Trump to lead us again.
I used to wonder how despots rose so fast and now I know.
Excellent explanation and succinct layout, of what the evil left represents, by Meister!
I’ve been saying, for months…..they’re just flat out lying, now…two tiered justice system (yes, I sound like a broken record)…but, Jason words it BEAUTIFULLY!!
Thanks for posting that easy to share tweet.
Yep…Judy explained the situation.
Just sickening.
Again….where’s FJB??
Crickets.
Good points, you nailed it.
“THE END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS” is what they are all about and it is ALL out in the open now.
Is there any stopping it?

The same people saying “Christian Nationalism” is dangerous are the same people grooming our children, pushing drag queen shows in elementary & middle schools, teaching gender lies and advocating teenagers go through genital mutilation.
Tell me again who is dangerous.
Subpoena wars: Washington is on a path to mutually assured destruction
BY JONATHAN TURLEY, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR - 06/04/22 10:00 AM ET
In an initial court appearance following his arrest on Friday for contempt of Congress, former Trump adviser Peter Navarro stood before an obviously concerned federal magistrate. “Every time that you’re speaking,” Judge Zia Faruqui tried to explain, “it could mean potentially putting yourself at risk.”
It was entirely sensible advice about self-protection — and it was promptly ignored. Navarro, 72, went directly outside and blasted the charge against him, the Democrats, and the FBI.
Judge Faruqui’s concern was almost charmingly naive. We live in an age of the sensational, not the sensible. The Navarro case is just one skirmish in a subpoena war engulfing Washington. No one seems to be thinking much beyond the next election.
In the buildup to next week’s start of public hearings by the House of Representatives’ Jan. 6 investigative committee, Democrats have subpoenaed Republican colleagues and held former Trump officials in contempt. Then, instead of simply arranging for Navarro to voluntarily surrender, the Justice Department made a dramatic public arrest of him at an airport and dragged him off to jail in handcuffs.
These subpoena fights seem to be unfolding with little consideration given to the potential costs, either for Washington institutions or the individuals involved.
Democrats circle the firing squad
A variety of polls show, according to the political site FiveThirtyEight, that “Americans are moving on from Jan. 6th — even if Congress hasn’t.” With waning interest in the investigation, congressional Democrats and some in the media have pushed “blockbuster” new disclosures. However, many of their disclosures simply confirm what is already known: Then-President Trump and close associates wanted to challenge Congress’ certification of the 2020 presidential election and, instead, force Congress to select the next president. I wrote about that likely strategy just a couple weeks after the election, but that fruitless effort turned into a full-fledged riot in the Capitol.
The House hearings are likely to add details that damn Trump for fueling the riot and failing to immediately call on the rioters to pull back. Yet many of us reached the condemnation stage years ago; I reached that point while Trump was still speaking on Jan. 6, 2020, and opposed his efforts to challenge the certification.
The problem is not that the committee will move forward with hearings or a report. Despite its partisan composition and agenda, there is always a value to greater transparency about what occurred on that tragic day. The problem is the effort to ratchet up interest through conflict. The committee has taken the rare step of subpoenaing GOP colleagues, including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, and threatening to hold them in contempt like Navarro and other former Trump officials.
Despite years of bitter political divisions, the two parties have long avoided using subpoenas against each other. It was viewed as a step toward mutually assured destruction if House members unleashed inherent investigatory powers on each other. House Democratic leaders, however, shattered that long tradition of restraint despite the fact that they may gain little from the effort. What they will lose is a long-standing detente on the use of subpoenas against colleagues — and they are creating a new precedent for such internal subpoenas just months before they could find themselves in the minority. Today’s hunters then could become the hunted, if Republicans claim the same license after November’s elections.
The House already is a dysfunctional body that allows for little compromise or dialogue between parties. The targeting of fellow members now will remove one of the few remaining restraints on unbridled partisan rage.
Justice delayed or justice denied?
Attorney General Merrick Garland is well on his way to setting a record for the prosecution of congressional contempt. The Justice Department has consistently refused to submit congressional contempt cases to grand juries, including a flagrant act of contempt by Obama-era Attorney General Eric Holder. There is ample basis for this charge as well. It is not the substance but the selectively and speed of the charges that is notable. Navarro was only held in contempt in April and is now being prosecuted by a department long known as the place where contempt sanctions go to die. Yet, the Navarro case could quickly take a wild turn.
Navarro claims he offered to compromise with the committee but that he was asserting his right to remain silent. Putting aside such mitigating circumstances, the problem for the Justice Department could be the calendar: Despite moving at an uncharacteristically fast pace, the Navarro case likely will extend beyond November’s midterms. If Republicans retake the House, they could seek to retroactively rescind the House’s contempt vote on Navarro.
Technically, the Justice Department could insist that the act of contempt and the referral vote occurred under the prior Congress. Given the issuance of an indictment, the Biden administration could insist on pursuing the prosecution even if the alleged victim is no longer claiming to be harmed. And some Democrats likely would file to support his continued prosecution, even if a new majority of the House filed to seek dismissal of the case.
This prosecution and any appeal is likely to extend beyond the duration of the House committee. Last November, the Justice Department indicted former Trump adviser Steve Bannon on the same grounds; his trial will not occur until July. That will be the first such prosecution since 1982, when Rita Lavelle, a former Reagan-era EPA official, was indicted for failing to answer congressional questions. (Lavelle was acquitted of that but then later convicted of lying to Congress.)
The Biden administration did not have to act on this before the November elections. The statute of limitations for contempt of Congress is five years. If it hoped to get a quick plea and cooperation from Navarro, his defiant courthouse colloquy makes that less likely. The question is whether it will pursue these two misdemeanors — which could result in as little as 30 days and no more than a year in jail — if the next House seeks to rescind the contempt referral.

Thanks for posting....Turley is spot on.
Trump advisers Scavino, Meadows won’t be charged for contempt over Jan. 6 commission
Former Trump advisers Dan Scavino and Mark Meadows will not be criminally charged for contempt regarding their refusal to cooperate with the Jan. 6 committee, the Department of Justice revealed this week, a move that comes even as another former Trump aide is facing prosecution on those same grounds.
Former Trump official Peter Navarro was indicted by a grand jury on Friday for his refusal to cooperate with the committee, which is investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol that Democrats and media have insisted was an “insurrection” against the U.S. government.
Yet the Justice Department on Friday told Douglas N. Letter, the general counsel of the House of Representatives, that it would not be bringing similar charges against Scavino and Meadows for their own refusal to cooperate.
“Based on the individual facts and circumstances of their alleged contempt, my office will not be initiating prosecutions for criminal contempt as requested in the referral against Messrs. Meadows and Scavino,” Matthew Graves, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, wrote to Letter “My office’s review of each of the contempt referrals arising from the Jan. 6 committee’s investigation is complete.”
Committee leaders, meanwhile, expressed puzzlement over the Justice Department’s decision.
“We find the decision to reward Mark Meadows and Dan Scavino for their continued attack on the rule of law puzzling,” Reps. Liz Cheney and Bennie Thompson wrote in a statement following the decision.
“Mr. Meadows and Mr. Scavino unquestionably have relevant knowledge about President Trump’s role in the efforts to overturn the 2020 election and the events of Jan. 6,” they added.

That’s if you were taking precautions for a felony arrest this is a misdemeanor non- violent arrest show me how many arrest are made this way in that category. Plain and simple this was a political arrest which are never should be allowed in the United States of American. I believe somebody is very scared of We the People!

Thanks, exit.
Sure could use a Trump Rally, about now.

In response to report by US Atty John Bash that found no wrongdoing related to unmasking of Gen Flynn, Devin Nunes gave us this statement:
“There is no justification for the exorbitant number of times Michael Flynn’s name was unmasked, briefed to senior Obama officials, and even spread outside the FBI in unmasked form. The Flynn leak was a major crime, yet even after this investigation, no one was held accountable.”

This was brought home to me recently. A member of our veterans group, Word Ministries, has been very helpful, also financially. I found out he is making a killing shipping supplies for staging operations in various countries, Africa, Asia, and I am guessing Ukraine. So I realized that this is probably bad money, or bloody money.
The reason I say that is because I realize now that we actually have started these conflicts ahead of time by causing disruptions. I began to see that this truly is happening and is a huge business. Unfortunately the media has been conditioned to believe that it is justified because the CIA etc is very successful in distorting the news.
I think payback will happen and we will become quite hated for this.
SERVANT OF THE CORRUPT
The Big Lie
The war has completely reinvented Zelensky, thus saving his scandal-plagued presidency marked by broken promises. As a Kyiv International Institute of Sociology poll showed, just 24 percent of voters supported him in late January. But now, thanks to the West’s embracement of the actor’s new persona which often places him beyond reproach, Zelensky has become the recipient of unqualified adoration and enormous amounts of international aid money. “Before the war the U.S. was sending $300 million per year to Ukraine,” said to NPR Mark Cancian, a senior adviser at the Center for International and Strategic Studies. Now, we’re providing $100 million a day to what was until recently considered “the most corrupt nation in Europe.“
As of today, the United States government alone is on track to deliver more than $50 billion in total aid to Ukraine. For comparison, the Department of Homeland Security estimated that Trump’s proposed border wall would cost roughly $21.6 billion. Republicans in particular, spent the first two years of Trump’s term resisting his efforts to fund and build the wall, before reluctantly agreeing to support just a fraction of what they approved for Ukraine at the drop of a hat, even challenging the patriotism of their critics.
