The FBI is once again in the news. It really is a dysfunctional criminal enterprise........

The FBI's M.O appears to be guilty until proven innocent. Wishful thinking is the same as truth when it comes to search warrant applications.

The privacy invasion was vast when FBI agents drilled and pried their way into 1,400 safe-deposit boxes at the U.S. Private Vaults store in Beverly Hills.

They rummaged through personal belongings of a jazz saxophone player, an interior designer, a retired doctor, a flooring contractor, two Century City lawyers and hundreds of others.

Agents took photos and videos of pay stubs, password lists, credit cards, a prenuptial agreement, immigration and vaccination records, bank statements, heirlooms and a will, court records show. In one box, agents found cremated human remains.

Cremated human remains?

Obama, that fvcking guy, got his wish. The FBI is politicized and his affirmative action VP, now Resident of the White House is really going to town.

FBI Whistleblower: ‘Nobody I Know Signed Up’ To Investigate Parents Who Vented at Schoolboard Meetings

An FBI whistleblower who was recently suspended said in an interview this week that he became a whistleblower last November because of Attorney General Merrick Garland’s email ordering the FBI to use Patriot Act counterterrorism tools to target parents at school board meetings.

Special Agent Kyle Seraphin, who was indefinitely suspended on June 1 after nearly six years with the Bureau, said that he was so disturbed by the directive, he went to his congresswoman’s office in New Mexico, and made a “protected disclosure.”

Garland announced the creation of the tag “EDUOFFICIALS” to track school board meeting related threats in an email sent to Justice Department employees in October of 2021.
Investigations were opened on parents based on anonymous tips, and agents had to surveil and interview ordinary moms and dads who got caught up in the dragnet.

It's nice to know that the burning and looting from the summer of 2020 didn't get this type of response. FBI plays Gestapo in real life with a frightened family.

BUCKS COUNTY, Pennsylvania (LifeSiteNews) – A well-known pro-life author, sidewalk counselor, and father of seven was the latest victim of a U.S. Department of Justice-sponsored SWAT raid and arrest — for supposed “FACE Act” violations — at his rural home as his children looked on “screaming.”

Mark Houck is the founder and president of The King’s Men, which promotes healing for victims of pornography addiction and promotes Christian virtues among men in the United States and Europe.

According to his wife Ryan-Marie, who spoke with LifeSiteNews, he also drives two hours south to Philadelphia every Wednesday to sidewalk council for six to eight hours at two different abortion centers.

Ryan-Marie, who is a homeschool mother, explained the SWAT team of 25 to 30 FBI agents swarmed their property with around 15 vehicles at 7:05 a.m. this morning. Having quickly surrounded the house with rifles in firing position, “they started pounding on the door and yelling for us to open it.”

Before opening the door, she explained, her husband tried to calm them, saying, “‘Please, I’m going to open the door, but, please, my children are in the home. I have seven babies in the house.’ But they just kept pounding and screaming,” she said.

When he opened the door, “they had big, huge rifles pointed at Mark and pointed at me and kind of pointed throughout the house,” Ryan-Marie described.

When they came in, they ordered the kids to stay upstairs. “Our staircase is open, so [the kids] were all at the top of the stairs which faces the front door, and I was on the stairs as well, coming down.”

“The kids were all just screaming. It was all just very scary and traumatic,” she explained.

After asking them why they were at the house, the agents said they were there to arrest Mark. When Ryan-Marie asked for their warrant, “they said that they were going to take him whether they had a warrant or not.”

When Ryan-Marie protested, saying that is kidnapping, “you can’t just come to a person’s house and kidnap them at gunpoint,” they agreed to get the warrant for her from one of their vehicles.

Will the FBI investigate this as a hate crime? Are you kidding me? No, I was being sarcastic.

An 83-year-old elderly woman was shot while canvassing in support of pro-life legislation in Michigan.

The pro-life activist volunteered with Right to Life of Michigan (RLM) to help door-knock to discuss the state’s upcoming vote on Proposal 3, which seeks to protect abortion access in Michigan.

Time to get away from the FBI...............

Just another reason there is no math on The ONT. Bad, bad math mistake.

By now, you may have heard that the Colorado River is drying up.

The river’s flow is down by about 20 percent, compared to the 1900s, and the two largest reservoirs it feeds are less than a third full. The water in Lake Mead, the nation’s biggest reservoir, has dropped more than 150 feet in the last two decades, leaving little water for the more than 40 million people who depend on the river.

Part of the reason why the Colorado River is shrinking is the dwindling amount of snow and rain. The West is in its 23rd year of drought, which research suggests could be the driest period in the last 1,200 years, made worse by climate change.

Then there is the sheer number of cities and farms that are sucking down water. About three-quarters of all water that humans consume from the Colorado River goes toward irrigating farms, which, among other things, supply nearly all of the nation’s winter veggies.

But a key reason why the Colorado River is running out of water has more to do with math than anything — bad math.

One hundred years ago, government officials divvied up water in the Colorado River among the seven states that rely on it including Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. The agreement, known as the Colorado River Compact, was based on one critically important number: the total amount of water that the Colorado River can supply yearly.

A look at news around the world...........

How do you say, "Oh hell no!" in Korean?

TAEBAEK, South Korea - In the foothills of the rugged Taebaek range, Roh Sung-sang surveys the damage to his crop. More than half the cabbages in his 50-acre patch sit wilted and deformed, having succumbed to extreme heat and rainfall over the summer.

“This crop loss we see is not a one-year blip,” said Roh, 67, who has been growing cabbages in the highlands of Gangwon province for two decades. “I thought the cabbages would be somehow protected by high elevations and the surrounding mountains.”

With its typically cool climate, this alpine region of South Korea is the summertime production hub for Napa, or Chinese, cabbage a key ingredient in kimchi, the piquant Korean staple. But this year, nearly half a million cabbages that otherwise would have been spiced and fermented to make kimchi lie abandoned in Roh’s fields. Overall, Taebaek’s harvest is two-thirds of what it would be in a typical year, according to local authorities’ estimates.

The result is a kimchi crisis felt by connoisseurs across South Korea, whose appetite for the dish is legendary. The consumer price of Napa cabbage soared this month to $7.81 apiece, compared with an annual average of about $4.17, according to the state-run Korea Agro-Fisheries Trade Corp.

"I am woman, hear me roar" Iranian women are saying. The Iranian president is saying put your hijabs back on and make a sammich.

IRAN's President has warned protestors will be "dealt with decisively" in a chilling message amid a violent crackdown on nationwide anti-government protests that have so far left dozens dead.

The Islamic Republic has been plunged into chaos after the death of Mahsa Amini, 22, who was allegedly beaten, arrested and left in a coma by the regime's morality police - The Guidance Patrol - for not following the country's strict hijab laws.

Some one in the Hampton, VA government had one job to do. They failed.

HAMPTON, Va (WAVY) – Heather Young was looking for some sun exposure when she took her library card outside to renew some books online. What she got was too hot for the Hampton mom to handle.

“I have five kids and I could just imagine if they had seen it instead of their mom,” she said.

An adult toy store is not what she wanted to check out.

“I thought maybe I put in the wrong address so I double-checked, triple-checked and it was still sending me to the same page and it had explicit content.’

Young messaged the library and got a response apologizing and telling her IT was working on it.

She also reached out to 10 On Your Side. We wanted more than the cliff notes version and went to the city to get the full story.

“It’s embarrassing! This is not something the city of Hampton ever wanted to do,” Hampton Communications Strategist, Robin McCormick told us.

Attempting to remain relevant is hard work. Just ask Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY)

Liz Cheney Pledges To Leave GOP If Republicans Nominate Trump In 2024
Cheney's comments come after she embarrassingly lost GOP support in her August primary, losing by 37 points.

She'll say the same thing if DeSantis is the nominee. Or any other true conservative.

John Bonham, drummer with Led Zeppelin, died aged 32 after a heavy drinking session. ‘Bonzo’ was found dead at guitarists Jimmy Page's house of what was described as asphyxiation, after inhaling his own vomit after excessive vodka consumption, (40 shots in 4 hours). During live sets his drum solo, ‘Moby Dick,’ would often last for half an hour and regularly featured his use of his bare hands. In 2007, Ludwig issued a limited edition drum kit in Bonham's memory. via thisdayinmusic.com

Is karaoke worth killing for? Personally I don't think so. But we have a Genius Award Winner who disagrees.

CUTLER BAY, FLA. (WSVN) - Shots were fired outside of a South Florida bar after an argument broke out over who was supposed to sing next at karaoke, said witnesses.

Patrons at the Sand Bar Sports Grill in Cutler Bay saw their fair share of gun violence around 11:30 p.m., Thursday.

Police taped off the area and collected several shell casings following the shooting. Cars also took damage as bullet holes and damaged glass was seen in the aftermath.

A woman, whose vehicle was hit by one of the gunshots, feared for her life. She said she crouched down for cover inside of a gas station across the street.

Officials said an argument started between four to five adults outside of the bar when one person pulled out a gun and shot two people.

Not Genius enough for you? Yes, it happens. How about this one, "Never park on a railroad track"? Genius Award Winners.

Police in Colorado released body cam footage showing the moment a train collided with a police patrol vehicle parked on railroad tracks. A suspect was detained in the vehicle at the time of the collision.

In the video, provided by FOX 31 Denver, two officers are seen detaining the driver of the vehicle believed to be involved in a road rage incident and placing her inside the patrol vehicle that was parked on the railroad tracks.

Moments later, a train can be heard and the two officers near the patrol vehicle can be seen fleeing the area.
