Correct. The Carter Page warrant was extended twice. They spied on Trump's campaign, his transition, and as President. I find the spying on him as President for 9 months as the most egregious.

They started the spying officially on October 15 when the primary warrant was issued. It was requested on October 1. IMO they were spying on Trump well before that.

In the last week, CBS announced a rational business decision to cancel the Stephen Colbert show. I realize that the show would be considered entertainment rather than news. but it got me thinking about the economics of the Sunday Morning Talk Shows.

Are they operating within an acceptable range of profit/loss results? It might be time for the traditional networks to think about cutting losses for their "me too" talk show, and replacing a marginal performer with infomercials or reruns of game shows or other things. I for one would welcome a return of the original 39 episodes of The Honeymooners.

...eliminating federal support for public media could endanger lives, especially in rural areas that rely on these stations for emergency alerts and critical information.

Well, I guess some of the kids might miss "Sesame Street" if that goes away.

Only adult people in Montana I know of use PBS for anything at all live within a few miles of the University campus where they study/teach, consider themselves light-years above anyone actually works/gets their hands dirty and may not be able to give any realistic description of the source of their food supply beyond the store counter. (That's the kindest translation of "Don't know which end of a cow to go to for milk and may even consider milking a bull" I can produce.)

Personally (and yes, I'm rural) I've never, ever heard of PBS broadcasting a Livestock Report; They are therefore of no practical use and are unworthy of consideration.

Besides, I've never been able to pick up their damn signal at The Homestead.

Martha Raddish of ABC was more of an embarrassment than useless.

The Bimbo is so stupid that if Trump tried to import twenty million illegals to ‘vote Republican for three generations’ she might not ‘catch it’ until one of the DNC news packets showed up - screaming at her. Raddish has redefined the concept of gullible fool. She might be as stupid as we think she is... Worst show of the morning.

i remember when the Rice memo came to light all of us who knew by then that Obama embeds were about the business of subverting DJT (Flynn, leaks, unmaskings) but this put a cherry on it: a cover-up was in place.

What about pardons, commutations and specific executive orders making great changes? Never.

Did she say list or documents?

To me, that’s a huge difference.

I asked Grok: Did Pam Bondi say she had the Epstein list or Epstein documents on her desk?

Answer: In her February 21, 2025 Fox News interview, Bondi said:

“It’s sitting on my desk right now to review,” in response to a direct question about the Epstein client list. That phrasing strongly implied she had a specific list in her possession.

📄 In her official letter to FBI Director Kash Patel, dated February 27, 2025, she referred to receiving:

“Epstein’s list of contacts” and “a list of victims’ names and phone numbers” as part of the Epstein files — roughly 200 pages of documents. She demanded the FBI deliver the “full and complete Epstein files”, which she defined as including “all records, documents, audio and video recordings, and materials related to Jeffrey Epstein and his clients”.

🧩 So to answer your question:

In her interview, she said “list.”

In her letter, she said “documents” and “list of contacts,” but not “client list.”

******************************************************

I’m sure there are a lot of files on Epstein—since he was arrested and put in jail without bail. I’m sure they had a lot of files. But a client list? That is, people who went to pedo island and touched kids? Did a list of these people ever really exist—even if they did go and do the criminal acts?

CNN's State of the Union

GOP Rep. Burchett on Epstein Files: We Might Never See Them, ‘This Town Buries Secrets’

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) said the release of the Epstein files might never happen because Washington, D.C. “buries secrets.”

Burchett said, “We’re at the point they’re going to start dumping files. And my biggest fear in this, Jake, you got a thousand children that were abused by this dirtbag who’s burning in hell right now, and he should be. And yet the American public’s all pointing the finger, trying to play politics with this thing. And it’s not accurate.”

Host Jake Tapper said, “As of right now, there are ten Republicans, including yourself, who’ve signed Congressman Massie’s what’s called a discharge petition. It forces legislation onto the floor of the House for a vote. It requires 218 signatures. Presumably, a lot of Democrats are going to support it. A lot of Republican leaders seem to want this issue to go away. Do you think you’re going to get 218 signatures on the discharge petition to force it for a vote? How many Republicans do you think will join you?”

Burchett said, “I have no earthly idea, Jake. You know, this town buries secrets. You wrote a book about it, and it’s doing very well because America agrees with you. This town buries secrets.”

He added, “You know, this town does not give up its secrets easy and it’s just it’s fighting and kicking. And the reason I’m worried about these files now is the fact that that the Biden administration, who, in my opinion, has a has a history of corruption, has tampered with these files, and we’re never going to get to the bottom of it.”

It's the victims--kids and minors--that suffered. Don't forget them!

Do I think Trump abused any of them? Not for a minute!!!

“Institutionalist” is the most common description used to describe Kash. He’s one of those “99% of the FBI is good”, we just need to let them do their jobs, types.

While he (regrettably, IMHO) lacks private enterprise experience, that isn't as essential in LE as economic positions.

Most agents are probably "white hats" but any organization needs white hat leadership more than anything. The tendency to conform to the norm is just too great.

I still like and respect him, but some tasks are just impossible.

The FBI’s been doing dirty work since it started. It’s as politicized as it gets. They need to fire most of them, maybe shift the absolutely critical remaining tasks that they can to the US Marshalls. They are a disgrace.

Attention!

If you gotten this far, congratulations for reading it all!

I have to ask this question - Is there anyone under 30 years old regularly visiting this thread?

How about Free Republic in general?

I was recently asked why the total weekly number of posts are going down on this thread. Sometimes it will go up over 100, even 150, but that is rarer and rarer. I've noticed this on other threads, and see a very diminished amount of separate threads, as well as Freepathons taking much longer.

My opinion is that we are aging. What say you?

... The notion that the fed gov needs to fund local decisions about spending needs to be cut out of our society. No responsible, rational adult spends themselves into poverty to subsidize their favorite charity. If they do, the kids generally start looking for a special place to put mom or grandma, and take away their credit cards to minimize future damage.

OMG! Great post!

Where, oh where, did we get the idea that the federal government's funds are endless?
