On reading about the Saturday arrest of pro-life activist Mark Houck, I thought the author at this alternative site had to be exaggerating. It struck me as beyond belief that two dozen or so armed FBI agents would swarm the house of a Catholic father of seven, rifles drawn, and arrest him in front of his weeping children for anything short of murder.
I have had to recalibrate my belief system. The “crime” fell quite a bit short of murder. On October 13, 2021, Houck brought his 12-year-old son with him for his weekly sidewalk counseling outside of a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Philadelphia. A volunteer escort at the abortion clinic reportedly called Houck’s son a “fag” among other insults and threatened him. Houck pushed the man away from his son, and the man fell. Houck, the founder of an organization that promotes Christian virtue among men, was not charged with a crime.
However petty the incident, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Eastern District of Pennsylvania, had Houck seized at gunpoint nearly a year later and bragged about the arrest. Said PR hack Jennifer Crandall in a press release, Houck “assaulted a man because he was a volunteer reproductive health care clinic escort.”
Before proceeding, this sentence needs parsing. The most problematic word is “because.” Houck has had hundreds of opportunities to assault escorts if their offense in his eyes was to be an escort. Although the press release claims two incidents on that same day with the man, Houck had no prior or subsequent altercations.
Then there is the Orwellian phrase “reproductive health care clinic escort.” Ms. Crandall is somehow fusing the “reproductive rights” euphemism favored by abortion activists with the function of the escort, whose mission, of course, is to assure that no reproduction takes place on his watch.

The blame goes to the occupant of the oval office who has ordered a crackdown on anyone who dares question the wisdom of sending millions of babies to their deaths.
He ordered it, and he fully supports what is happening.
Hmmmm.... let's ponder that question.
They will be given lists of small businesses and GOP donors in their assigned counties, and their tacit instructions will be to bankrupt, ruin and destroy them.
Making cases and recovering money won't be their goal, just destroying conservative businesses and leaders.
"Lawfare" to the Nth degree.
A conservative Jay Walks... Throw away due process and the keys to the jail.
A leftists conspires with the Chinese to take down the American republic... Look the other way...
Didn’t the FIB deny this ? There should be pictures
It is only “too far” if they are held accountable and punished.
Most likely, we will have endless hearings, strongly worded letters and nothing changes.
The FBI has failed the American People for decades. If we can get President Trump back in office, I sincerely hope that he disbands the FBI and indicts the partisan hacks who wrecked the FBI from within.
Administration Response: Yes, they are Brownshirts, but they are OUR Brownshirts, so what’s the problem?
According to Wiki, Jacqueline Romero is the granddaughter of Spanish immigrants. In otherwords she is an anchor baby.
I do not know this for a fact, but I would suspect that the reaction to the 'push' was worthy of an award for acting.
35 guys is only a lot if it’s against a guy in his pajamas with sleep in his eyes.
To the left, anything anyone does while doing the bidding of the left is not too far.
They’ve been going too far for many years and will continue to do so, with their power to intimidate anyone who opposes them.
They dress like soldiers. During the Hoover era they would have been fired in the spot for looking so unprofessional. No two look alike… bums.
Let’s ask Hannity first before we jump to any conclusions.
Trump would first need to have own choices at the DOJ, CIA and other agencies - but McConnell and the deep-state didn't allow it in 2016, and they won't allow it in 2024.
Until Bonzo and Xiden came along, FBI agents dressed in suits and looked intelligent. These days, they dress like thugs that flunked out of Aunt Teefah boot camp and act that way. Those jerks don’t look like any FBI guys that I know.
The FBLie has been going too far for 30 years.
It’s been a downward spiral for 20 years, since Mueller.
Each generation of training cadres is sloppier.
At this point, the recruits run the process, because the “old white men” who outrank them are too afraid to say anything about it.
So the radicals run the joint. Similar to the dynamic during the Cultural Revolution in Russia.
He does MMA.
