Kash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard Suffer Democrat Ignorance and Bluster at Hearings
Thom Tillis made up a Kash Patel Bingo card to point out that the Democrats just keep using the same discredited attacks.
Collin Rugg
@CollinRugg JUST IN: Over 50 former and retired FBI agents send letter to Senate leaders ahead of Kash Patel's confirmation hearing, demand that they confirm him. The 'Reform The Bureau' former agents say Patel is the only one who can fix the "broken" FBI. The letter was sent to Senate leaders Chuck Grassley, John Thune, Dick Durbin and Chuck Schumer. "As a group of retired FBI Special Agents ... we support President Trump's nomination of Kash Patel as the FBI's next Director." "Many Americans have lost faith in the FBI, and for good reason. The FBI is broken. And with this loss of trust has come a rise in threats at home and abroad." "Drug cartels and Mexican gangs have taken control of the border and have infiltrated cities across the country bringing violent crime and drugs with them." "China has grown more brazen, engaging in espionage that robs U.S. businesses of their intellectual property and undermines our national security." "The FBI has been used as a tool in the weaponization of the DOJ to go after its political enemies. Lives have been shattered ... This needs to stop." "Never has the FBI faced such an urgent and compelling need for comprehensive reform as it does today. Mr. Patel has proven he possesses the breadth of experience required to address these challenges." "His leadership, expertise, and vision make him uniquely qualified to guide the FBI through this pivotal moment. For these reasons, we stand in full support of Kash Patel's nomination."
🚨 LMAO: Sen. Thom Tillis created a bingo card for the lies Democrats will say about Kash Patel during the hearing, and apparently, it was pretty spot on.

NEW: Tulsi Gabbard unleashes on the deep state, the 51 intelligence officials, Hillary Clinton, and the Democratic Party in her opening statement.

One of the best opening statements I’ve seen.
“Democrats have accused me of being Trump’s puppet, Putin’s puppet, Assad’s puppet,… pic.twitter.com/7YaGH5td5o
During her opening remarks, @TulsiGabbard listed examples of the weaponization and politicization of the FBI and CIA as to why Americans' trust in the intelligence community is at an all-time low:

>>The Democratic Party has never been more unpopular in modern-American history.
Popularity has nothing to do with winning elections.
As an example, the Donks have been slowly and methodically chipping away at GOP Reps in California, 2016 it went from 21 GOP Reps to 19, in 2020 from 19 to 12, and in 2024 from 12 to 9. If the trend remains, in 2028 the GOP could be down as low as 5-6 or fewer.
The Donks have control of enough voting apparatuses to make elections a knife-edge.

Well, Tulsi is probably more trustworthy than your average GOPe Beltway type such as John Bolton.
Basically though, the incentives in DC are to lie, cheat, and steal, in order to advance and temporary martyr status doesn't change basic programming. The only solution is to systematically remove large parts of authority and power from DC and give to the states or eliminate it. (And from states to the local governments as well).

Patel is Indian. I think you're looking for informed commentary from the wrong source.
I remember taking a flight a couple of weeks after 9/11. The guy in the row behind me was Sikh, but he was clearly nervous about idiots accusing him of being a terrorist.

These choices that Trump made to represent his views and implement his plans are nothing short of amazing. These have to be the smartest most accomplished individuals ever to sit in front of a Senate panel. At least recently. These ancient Senate windbags who are used to their staffs doing all the work, look like fools.
It is impressive and encouraging performance and makes me hopeful things really will change.

She was my Rep. When I met her in 2012 I knew she would go far in national politics. She’s good looking and she has that quasi-exotic charm that Americans find endearing, like Obama did when he first appeared on the national stage.
I’m not worried about her. If worst comes to worst, Trump can always fire her. And she will probably somewhat reform to our corrupt Stasi.
But she’s a politician, so I don’t trust her. I’ll use her, but she’s not my friend or hero. And, hey, she looks good in a wetsuit, but let us never forget Thomas Sowell’s sagacious admonition:
“Don't be fooled by big ol' socialist titties.They're meant to hypnotize, then enslave your ass.”

Most of those in Congress are mediocrities that survive because of rotten boroughs (states) and that they provide care and feeding to their political donors.
Even if one is smart in Congress, you get driven down the level of the stupidest types like Hirono because they literally cannot think but they have a vote. That is why smart people like Ted Cruz (or Tom Coburn, James DeMint), etc. get so frustrated with serving over time.

Harris is too unbelievable stupid to realize that this is her chance to take back the reins. But, no one is handing it to her, so she has no idea what to do. The democrat faithful are, indeed, NPC's and there is no one stepping up to tell them what to say, do, think. Even Obama is compromised by rumors of his marriage problems, and is likely keeping a low profile. I'm guessing someone like Gretchen Whitmer pops up in the next week or so and starts challenging Trump on every move.

Tim Waltz was definitely angry during his interview with Rachel yesterday. I want to see more of him; he's got a lot to say. He's a good face out there, leading the opposition to the Trump shit show
He remains as MN Governor for two more years. Blue state governors in MN and elsewhere are standing strong. I gain some courage and hope from that.
He provides PROOF that the Democratic Party message was constant, and is still true, about Project 2025. Democrats do not have a messaging problem. The media and public have a Reality problem because they won't hear the national Democratic Party's past messages
He says it bluntly, directly and colorfully as evidenced by this interview where he calls the Trump disavowal of Project 2025 “bullshit.” He hammers home clearly how Trump policy savagery will impact ordinary people’s lives. ✊🏼The man was a successful coach and NCO for a reason. he knows how to motivate those whom he leads to effective action which is precisely what we need now!

That Amy Kochella, Dim, has a quivering voice. That type of female voice annoys the hell out of me and I am very female. It must totally kill souls of men.
I now watch Dim women for pure entertainment factors. Amy pounds her index finger on documents. Warren, whom I haven't seen shrill herself today (yet)...but I can predict quivering outraged jowls, wagging index finger and complete outrage spewing from her maw in a tantrum. Thunder Squaw. Like her toy poodle was just swept up by a hawk.
Seriously, where do they find any red blooded American males to even touch them much less marry? (Note: I do not know if Amy is married. Maybe the the bishop of the nagging Episcopal church is a side piece with her).
Love the bingo card as they are so boringly predictable. That said, I hope Cash and Tulsi win.
Cash Patel scares me and I can only imagine being on the wrong side of law and having to look him in the eye and attempt to lie.

Hell, the Dem Party ran a retard and a lunatic in this past election. Right now, Schumer is trying to be the opposition to Trump, and Trump is just ignoring him and marginalizing his message. Even the media isn't giving it much play. They really need a figurehead calling the shots and giving the perception of competence. But, the only way they can do that is if some unknown, well spoken nobody without dirt on his/her hands shows up out of the blue and starts making noise. They don't have one of those....due to their crony system of power.

I've never been able to embrace that, though.

When I was a grand juror, they told us that we can NEVER mention anything about someone we no-billed.
If we sent them to court I guess it was wide open.

That's doable.
The FAA requires American manufacturers of drones to have a mechanism that certifies that the operator is an FAA-licensed pilot. Otherwise they'll have DOJ ruin your next 3 lives.
They don't require that of foreign manufacturers.

Just saw a preview for a Meg Ryan Superbowl ad.
Her plastic surgery is just starting to not be creepy 15 years later.

I wonder if someone's figured out how to reverse or correct terrible plastic surgery because it seems a fair number of stars, etc who had bad plastic surgery are suddenly looking human again.

For the past two weeks it’s been all about asking for help and a big, fat federal check for the raging wildfires.
But grab some criminal illegals off the streets and they want independence.
I really don’t think you want to be a separate country with your current leadership, you guys!

How does Amazon make money? Three times this week I have ordered some item less than $15 and it arrives at my house with free shipping in two days at a price less than I could drive to the store and buy it.

The store makes more income from selling your purchase history to advertisers than it does from the actual purchases.
Then they spend it on trying to build a PenisRocket

Fen, it went really well. Probably the best interview I've had yet. I'm very well-suited to the position, and I think I was able to put that over and sell myself.
But, not counting chickens. I've had good interviews before that resulted in goose eggs. But I'm cautiously optimistic.

They both know Booker Grand Jury records a sealed. Booker hoped to get Patel to say he testified xxx, then charge him with perjury to Congress if xxx didn't precisely match his Grand Jury testimony. Both know Booker will get the Grand Jury transcript one way or another; Booker probably had a leaked copy in his pile of papers.

So Booker beclowned himself. Again. Did Booker mention who his current GF is after breaking up with the previous on in 2022 or was that one time thing.

1. He would not hide behind the drapes in the presence of the President.
2. He would not transmit confidential reports to buddies in the news media.
3. He would not organize entrapment of senior government officials.
Etc.

I don't know that I'm quite at TJM's position on Tulsi although I've never been a fan. I would say that my feelings on her being in the Administration are resignation with a tiny hint of cautious optimism.

Go watch her disembowel Kamala Harris in 2020 and you will be a fan. She's worth 10000 of the 'norms' and 'procedure' assholes clogging up the deep state. She gets mad and she goes for the jugular. Like Trump.

When she started speaking out against the status quo she got it from the usual suspects on both parties. They don't like that sort, who listen to their own morals and ideas or work for the people of the US rather than the government. Its pretty clear her oppo to US working with terrorists was based in truth, we were. If you consider it a good thing for our interests or not is another question. I haven't researched it myself to know for sure but Tulsi formed her position and kept with it. Given the brinksmanship and failure our policy led to this last decade odds seem to favor that boosting terrorist cells there was a mistake that destabilized the area.

I suspect that the Wall Street Journal article alleging that he orchestrated the last-minute hit-job against Pete Hegseth has Tillis scrambling to protect his phony baloney job. I also suspect that God-Emperor has decided to squash Tillis like a bug, and North Carolina will have a different U.S. Senator after 2026.

Who is going to step forward? For generations Dems have been nepotists, hostile to most groups aside from college leftists and racial grifters and feminist grifters. These are not selected for sensible politics or international relations. Those they put in power are secondhanders and no deviation of thought is allowed.
Increasingly they can't hide their corruption by moral indignation.
