To make matters worse, the FBI now has 38,000 staff, compared to the 4,602 at the height of the witch hunt in 1950—and access to technology beyond Hoover’s wildest dreams. While Washington politicians worry about this force being weaponized against each other, the real issue for progressives is whether it is being used for repression of dissent.

>> Hegseth and Rubio are perfect yes men
You see them as “yes men”? I see them as like-minded allies. That’s why PDJT called them up.
38,000 well I’m sure we could use less than that number get DOGE in there to shake things up.
Ya somehow it was not “alarming power” on Feb 19th 2025 or during Biden’s puppet regime, these political operatives are shameless ideologues.
I’d say most of them. NATO is a big deal in Europe because that’s where most of the money is spent. In the US, not so much. Even back in Cold War days it was common to hear people complaining about the number of troops we had stationed in Germany. Most Americans don’t see how NATO affects their lives.

There were plenty of witches to catch.

Just finished re-reading that.
A bit off topic, but I’d like to see an investigation into the communist infiltration that senator Mccarthy was prosecuting in the 50s.. I’d bet there are reems of files showing he was right all along.
Thanks for posting this. We need to understand the left’s positions well enough to state them accurately. I’ve had people object to posts I’ve submitted simply because they were from a leftist publication.
I think you are completely wrong. Even during the “no first use” protest days of Reagan, NATO still had deep bipartisan support.
“FEAR of BEING INVESTIGATED!”
Why do they FEAR being investigated? After all, all they have to do is answer questions truthfully.
Oh.
Now it’s a problem. The Nation would see no problem if Harris were President. His opinion can be written off as insincere and fake.
Lol. Things happen sometimes I guess.
I really loved Walking Tall.
Now that the table has turned, this extremist leftist is getting nervous that he may receive what he and his leftist buddies have been dishing out.
Schadenfreude.
In the halls of congress I’d agree. But among the American people… you’d have to show me. I was very much alive and kicking back then and I don’t recall anyone ever singing the praises of NATO. I recall many wondering why their sons were sent to Germany to play chicken with the Russians when only the British seemed to stand with us.
