Unhinged Former FBI Director @FrankFigliuzzi1 Targets Trump Supporters frontpagemag.com/fpm/274682/unh…
Figliuzzi compared supporters of President Trump to members of a terrorist organization, and that would of course justify militant action against them. As it happens, that is a belch from deep state in general and the administration of POTUS 44 in particular.
The 2012 Department of Homeland Security’s Hot Spots of Terrorism and Other Crimes in the United States, 1979-2008 study classified persons judged to be “suspicious of centralized federal authority” and “reverent of individual liberty” as “extreme right-wing terrorists.”
Consider also Challengers from the Sidelines: Understanding America’s Violent Far-Right, from the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point.
This 2013 study warns about the “anti-federalist movement,” whose members “espouse strong convictions regarding the federal government, believing it to be corrupt and tyrannical, with a natural tendency to intrude on individuals’ civil and constitutional rights.”
They also support civil activism, individual freedoms, and self-government. In the United States, people of that description fill a rather large tent.
Consider also Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment, an April 2009 publication of the Department of Homeland Security, then ruled by former Arizona governor Janet Napolitano.
These right-wing extremists are “mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority.” The “possible passage of new restrictions on firearms,” also disturbs them.
Those who find these government studies troubling might recall that POTUS 44 refused to link Islam with terrorism. Those who believe the federal government intrudes on individual rights might wonder how the FBI handled actual cases of terrorism under that administration.
As it emerged in Lessons from Fort Hood: Improving our Ability to Connect the Dots, during his medical residency the U.S. Army’s Nidal Hasan demonstrated “evidence of violent extremism,” sympathy for radical Islam, and even wrote papers defending Osama bin Laden.
“Yet no action was taken. Instead, Major Hasan was rewarded for his work and promoted.”

In May of 2009, the Army major was communicating with terrorist mastermind Anwar al-Awliki about killing American soldiers.
These and other emails between the two were in the hands of the FBI, which looked the other way and dropped the case until November 5, 2009. That day Hasan killed 13 Americans and wounded 42 others, the worst terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11.
The president pronounced it “workplace violence,” not even “gun violence.”

The FBI director at the time was Robert Mueller, who served from 2001 to 2013, longer than any FBI boss except for J. Edgar Hoover.
It was Mueller who in 2011 appointed Frank Figliuzzi Assistant Director for Counterintelligence. He may be the looniest anti-Trumper on television, but to be fair, the former FBI assistant director is an equal opportunity hater.

What Nellie Saw

Remember the heady days of 2020? Progressives trained by the richest universities in the land suddenly had the chance to remake America in their image, the way they had always dreamed of doing. Image
The result was so obvious and crushing a failure that one is no longer supposed to talk about it.
Four years later, the power elite have discovered that their cosplay revolution is seen as merely ridiculous. Minority groups don’t want the new names that have been issued to them.

My dad died on April 10, 2024.

He served in the Coast Guard and was a Ft.Worth, Texas police officer Image
My mom is living, and is a narcissist. Image
I was physically, emotionally and verbally abused.

I don't want to say it's because I'm the middle child. Nor do I want to harsh on my parents.

But is there a reason why an entire family turns on the unfavored child?

Do we just make it that easy? We just roll over?

" . . . it’s far too early for the mayor to crow “We have turned the corner of crime in our city.” nypost.com/2024/01/06/opi…
Overall crime in New York City dropped in 2023 over 2022; we’re still the “safest big city in America,” as Mayor Adams boasted recently — but that’s cold comfort when we’re still far behind 2019, the last year before the destructive effects of our criminal-justice “reforms” made themselves visible.
Consider car thefts: 5,438 in 2019; 15,802 in 2023.

The Supreme Court Is The Last Functioning Institution In America

That's Why It's Doomed thefederalist.com/2024/03/04/the…
In a 9-0 decision, the Supreme Court ruled states cannot use section 3 of the 14th Amendment to kick Donald Trump off state ballots over his alleged “insurrectionist” actions on Jan. 6, 2021.
Learning that state officials aren’t empowered to simply toss leading presidential candidates off ballots came as a great surprise to many incredulous left-wingers.
