Thursday Think Tank

 I see that Granny Garland, the Attorney General, is upset that people are criticizing the FBI and the DOJ. Let me break it to you gently Merrick, as the saying goes, "Play stupid Games, Win stupid prizes."  When you declared that parents protesting at school board meetings were "domestic terrorists", you fired the first shot in this game. 

Granny Garland is upset about the coverage the FBI's raid at Mara Lago is getting and the public's response to it. This isn't about Donald Trump and "secret documents", this is about the never-ending liberal attacks on Trump to keep him from running for President again.  Did the FBI raid the Clinton's home to find the e-mails that Hillary eventually destroyed?  Did the FBI raid the Clinton's home to get back the furniture that they removed from the White House? The Obama Library group has 30 MILLION "unclassified" documents in their possession. Has anyone from the National Archives or the FBI verified that EVERY one of those documents is "unclassified"? It was the federal government who attacked innocent Americans at Waco. It was the FBI who took over and brought in the tanks. Who knew that wooden buildings would burn? The FBI abused the FISA courts and put the President of the United States and some of his staff under surveillance. If you really wonder why Americans don't trust the DOJ, look at what those people have done. The FBI doesn't deserve any respect.

Granny Garland, here's a thought. If you are looking to restore the credibility of the FBI, it's time to be honest. At a Senate hearing, an FBI representative was asked if there were any FBI informants or undercover agents in the crowd at the Capitol on January 6. She said that she could not answer that question. That answer was interpreted by anyone smarter than Joe Biden as a "Yes". Bring Ray Epps and any other informants and undercover agents to a real Congressional hearing where both sides are present and answer questions. While you are at it, bring the leader of the Michigan militia group with you. Since the FBI paid him $50,000 in taxpayer funds, we have a few questions for both of you. The purpose of the FBI is to enforce the laws, not to create criminal activity. Evidently, there is some confusion over at the Department of Justice.

The Democrats want to more than double the number of IRS agents. They want to add more than 87,000 agents. This would be like adding four divisions to the Army. Would the Democrats support that kind of increase in the military?

Having gone "woke" under General Milli Vanilli's leadership, the Army is struggling to maintain force levels. They report that this is the worst that it has been since the all-volunteer Army began in 1973. People used to join the Army to protect their country, now they join to have their transition surgery costs covered. How bad is it? For a few days in June, they waived the requirement for a high school diploma. Of course, a diploma doesn't mean they can read.

Just as a side comment, the USA Today (McPaper) wrote a couple of weeks ago that US soldiers were training Ukrainian soldiers in how to operate the equipment that we are sending Ukraine. I thought that we didn't have any troops fighting with the Ukrainians? This is how it started in Vietnam, we just sent some "advisors".   60,000 dead American soldiers later, we still have not learned.

The Democrats want more thorough background checks on gun buyers. They want to prosecute people who don't follow the gun laws. They want people to pay every penny that they should in taxes. They want to deal with serious drug users instead of potheads. They all agree on this but won't prosecute Hunter Biden who has broken all of these laws. If Granny Garland really wants some respect for the DOJ, charge Hunter Biden! Today.

This last one is for no one in particular but, if you have those "ear buds" in your ears, I don't think that you are paying attention and it is just plain rude. Mr. Manners says, "Take that shit out of your ears when you are talking to live humans in front of you." Yeah, Mr. Manners may be crude, but at least he isn't rude.
