Documents Prove FBI Interfered with 2020 Election
Now that new FBI Director Kash Patel has released internal documents related to Hunter Biden's laptop, reporters Catherine Herridge and Michael Shellenberger have combed through them and discovered that the contents of these documents reveal that the FBI intentionally and strenuously worked to suppress the authenticity of the information contained on the laptop.
"In late 2019 the FBI knew that the laptop was, in fact, the same laptop that Hunter had abandoned in a computer repair shop," Herridge said. "Yet, the FBI pressured social media giant Twitter to suppress this fact and to push a narrative claiming that the laptop story was Russian disinformation. This gave the legacy media an excuse to ignore the truth and accept the Biden campaign's assertion that it was the Russians trying to rig the election for Trump."
Former FBI Director Christopher Wray's asserted that "the Agency has a strict policy of not making comments that could be construed as favoring or disfavoring a particular Party or candidate in the 90 days leading up to election day. Withholding our knowledge that the laptop was genuine followed those guidelines."
Herridge pointed out that "the FBI went seriously over the line when their 'no statement or action within 90 days' sham was used to conceal a deceptive scheme to explicitly aid the Democrats and Biden. A poll conducted by Newsbusters after the election revealed that 17% of those who voted for Biden said they wouldn't have if they had known the laptop was authentic. Since Biden defeated Trump by less than 5% of the total vote it seems clear that the FBI's interference was both consequential and criminal."
From his familiar recumbent resting spot on a Delaware beach, former President Biden shrugged off this revelation, saying "one of the last things I wanted to do before my term ended was to pardon all the criminals. I can't believe I would've neglected to pardon Director Wray, the 57 national security experts and others who went the extra mile to help me get elected. So, they're now beyond the reach of Trump's revenge."
Trump's Deportations Assailed
Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo) sharply criticized President Trump's deportation of illegal aliens to Guatemala, saying "everybody in America wants violent criminals who are here illegally out of the country, but there's a right way and a wrong way to do it. That's what Judge Boasberg was trying to establish when he ordered the plane carrying 200 illegal alien criminals out of the country to turn back. Now we'll have to endure the embarrassing spectacle of having the President of the United States jailed for contempt of court."
"We have been a beacon to the world for the brightest minds to come to our universities," the Senator added. "Now we see Trump's 'mini-me' Marco Rubio is having foreign students here on visas being deported merely for expressing their opinions about Jews and the atrocities Israel is committing against the Palestinians. Our First Amendment gives these students the right to speak their minds. They shouldn't be punished for this. The only proper action is to rebut ideas you don't like by expressing better ideas, not ejecting those who express these ideas from the United States--the so-called land of liberty."
Secretary of State Rubio explained that "visas are privileges granted on the expectation of good behavior by the foreigners. Students who get these visas say they are here to study. However, when they interfere with the education of Jews by blocking their access to class, illegally occupying campus buildings, and spouting antisemitism they violate the conditions of their visas."
Rubio then added "frankly, I'm shocked that Democrats are rallying to the defense of some of the worst aliens who have entered our country. Whether they be individuals sharing some of the same vile woke values of the Democrat Party or seemingly apolitical predators who victimize American citizens by committing violent and disgusting crimes, they don't merit the privilege of staying here. One of our government's most important jobs is to protect citizens' lives, safety, and property. Deportation is one of the milder penalties that can be imposed on aliens. It is better to take this action now than to wait until more serious crimes have harmed more Americans."
Student Inquiry Riles University
Inspired by the exploits of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), 20-year-old sophomore Alex Shieh sent emails to all 3,805 administrators at Brown University asking them to "describe what tasks you performed in the past week."
Shieh said "I expected some level of engagement, but only 20 people got back to me, one of whom only replied with a 'bleep you,' and another of whom suggested I 'stick a cactus up my ass.' Remember, these responses weren't from smart aleck college teenagers. These were from 'Dean of this' 'Vice-president of that' at a highly touted ivy league school that charges each student $93,000 a year for just tuition and received more than $250 million in federal aid last year. I think both students and taxpayers have a right to know what their money buys."
A Brown University spokesperson asserted "it is not a student's prerogative to interrogate the University's leadership or question its policies. No one forced Mr. Shieh to attend this school. He voluntarily applied for admission, enrolled when he was accepted, and came to the campus. If he suspects he made an error in judgment by doing these things he is free to leave. How the 3800 employees who got his email spend their time is none of his business. His unauthorized mass email to them invades their privacy. Fortunately, only a minuscule fraction deigned to reply before receiving our instruction to ignore it. His imitation of the tactics used by the Trump Administration's infamous DOGE invasion of government offices discredits his survey and argues for his expulsion from the University."
Senator Booker's "Awesome Speech"
This week, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) held sway in the US Senate for 25 straight hours for his lamentations on the policies of the Trump Administration. The record-breaking feat was aided by donning an adult diaper so he wouldn't have to interrupt his remarks to use the restroom.
Pollster Frank Luntz was so impressed by the speech that he declared "what Cory Booker did may have changed the course of history. That a man would so bravely risk fatigue and discomfort showed a modicum of character that has been sadly lacking among his peers in the Democratic Party. I think this clearly makes Cory Booker one of the front runners for the Party's 2028 presidential nomination."
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) agreed, saying "I think Booker's speech combined with the near wins of two Democrats in the ruby red districts of Florida will be seen by historians as the turning point for the battle to save our democracy. Within a year the phenomenon of Trump's vain attempt to make America great again will be just a memory. Within a decade no one will be permitted to mention his name without being jailed for contempt of court. Within a generation there will be no record that he ever existed."
Booker said "what I am most proud of is the fact that the previous record for the longest speech was set by Sen. Strom Thurmond (D-SC) in 1957. Seeing this racist's name erased from the record book is my most significant achievement since I've been in the Senate."
In related news, Kevin Batts, a "special assistant" to Sen. Booker, was arrested for carrying a handgun into the Capitol. Booker himself assisted Batts' evasion of the metal detector "because he has been both an employee and a friend of mine since I was the Mayor of Newark. He's exactly the kind of person who needs to be exempt from the gun control restrictions required to protect ordinary Americans from being shot."
Scientists Demand Continued Funding
Nearly 2,000 members of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine signed an open letter demanding that the federal subsidies they have been receiving for decades must not be discontinued. In the letter they said "we hold diverse political beliefs, but we are united as researchers in wanting to continue our work without being interrupting by the cost-cutting mania unleashed by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The assertion that research must be of benefit to justify taxing the public to pay for it is a formula for fostering ignorance."
"No one really knows what is useful before it is thoroughly researched by experts like ourselves," the second paragraph began. "Sure, simple scientific facts like gravity don't have to be funded because everyone can see that dropped objects fall to the ground. However, more difficult projects like finding out why monkeys throw feces or whether giving cocaine to bees will make them work harder take the kind of creative research that only free money can buy."
"If our country's government-subsidized research is dismantled, we will lose our scientific edge," the letter adds. "Other countries will lead the development of novel diseases, exotic energy sources, and the new technologies of the future. Their populations will be healthier, and their economies will surpass us in business, defense, intelligence gathering, and monitoring our planet's health. The damage to our nation's scientific enterprise could take decades to reverse."
"Then there is the human cost of federal budget cuts," the concluding paragraph points out. "Remember, the folks who generate and carry out creative research projects need to make a living to support themselves and their families. Do the American people want to allow the DOGE folks to push us into the commercial rat race just so we can put food on the table? This is what will happen if we allow the kind of cuts Musk and his minions want to force on the federal spending budget. Then where will all the new ideas come from?"
Musk suggested that "new ideas that are worthwhile will attract investors hoping to profit from the development and implementation of those ideas. This is the key difference between an efficient free market economy and a wasteful dispersal of wealth taxed from those who have generated it and give to inefficient, impractical, and corrupt uses--plenty of examples of which the DOGE team found in our audits of the government agencies we visited. The reinvestment of profits from useful ideas is what makes the world wealthier. The consumption of wealth by useless ideas is what retards the growth of prosperity and threatens to sink our society in an ocean of debt and destruction."
Conflicting Visions of a Just Society
This week Elon Mush revealed that he receives "17,000 to 18,000 death threats every day. I find it ironic that the folks who claim to be defending democracy are fighting tooth and nail against allowing the person elected by the voters to be president from carrying out the promises he made. A year ago lots of politicians praised the Tesla because it helps reduce air pollution. Now, some of those same politicians aren't so upset about terrorists attacking Teslas and the people who sell them, service them and drive them--all because I invented the car."
"Take Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Az) for example," Musk suggested. "A year ago he was proud of helping improve the environment by buying and driving a Tesla. Recently, he got rid of his Tesla and bought a pair of gas-guzzling Chevy Tahoes. He could've bought an electric vehicle manufactured by another company. Of course, it's his right in a free society to drive whatever vehicle he wants, but how does he so easily ditch his environmental passions? Didn't former President Biden vow to outlaw gasoline fueled vehicles? Hasn't California mandated that all vehicles sold in the state after 2035 must be zero-emission vehicles--meaning electric vehicles?"
"The problem is there aren't any other electric cars that perform like a Tesla," Kelly observed. "I just couldn't bear to be seen driving a vehicle invented by one of democracy's greatest enemies. The extra pollution I cause by driving these Chevy's is far less harmful than the damage Musk is doing to our country by gutting long-tenured government programs and employees just to save money. Hell, the government has the power to create as much money as it needs. There is no compelling reason to conserve this essentially limitless resource. We could abolish taxes, but if we did we would lose the ability to tax the rich in order to redistribute wealth from those who don't deserve it to those that do."
