My latest in PJ Media:
The Daily Beast reported last week that “The FBI, without any court order, sifted through the National Security Agency’s massive troves of foreign communications for information on American “racially motivated violent extremists,” even though the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance (FISA) Court warned the FBI in 2018 that its warrant-free queries” were unconstitutional. The first question that springs to mind in connection with this is: to whom can we turn when those who are supposed to be protecting us have been thoroughly corrupted and weaponized against the American people? And the second question is: Why are “racially motivated violent extremists” so hard to find that the FBI has to do an illegal deep dive into NSA material to find them?
The FBI is trying to validate the narrative that Old Joe Biden’s handlers had him enunciate (which he did, remarkably, without getting tongue-tied or saying something incoherent) during his message to Congress. “’As I stand here tonight,” Biden intoned Wednesday, “just one day shy of the 100th day of my administration. 100 days since I took the oath of office, lifted my hand off our family Bible, and inherited a nation in crisis. The worst pandemic in a century. The worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. The worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.”
The idea that the entry of a group of unarmed people into the U.S. Capitol constituted the “worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War” was not just ridiculous (remember 9/11? Pearl Harbor?); it was insidious. Beyond the silliness and hysteria is an insidious agenda. Biden’s handlers mean to stigmatize, demonize and silence all dissent from their far-left agenda. Wildly exaggerating what happened on January 6, and the concomitant “white supremacist agenda,” is in service of that agenda.
And so the FBI goes fishing in material the NSA obtained without a warrant, trying to validate the left’s claims. And this has been a long time coming: Jana Winter reported in Yahoo News in February that “the U.S. government is acknowledging for the first time that right-wing extremists were responsible for the majority of fatal domestic terrorist attacks last year, according to an internal report circulated by the Department of Homeland Security last week.” But as you might expect, the actual report was long on vague assertions and decidedly short on facts.
There is more. Read the rest here.

The worst attack on our democracy (constitutional republic) took place during the early morning hours of Nov. 4, 2020.

I agree, CES, and I would place a close second (maybe actually first?) the most destructive person in American history being elected President, one Barack Obama.
Until Obama, racial divisions and other stupidities were slowly getting lessened. Obama stoked the flames of racism, accompanied by other rank stupidities too, for instance going on one apology tour after another for all America has done wrong, not right. Another example of Obama’s deleterious effects on America in general is making one excuse after another for the worst religion of all time—Islam. Whatever his motives here, and reasonable minds can disagree about the motives, he did great harm.
Keys says
Obama’s “third term” from his own mouth.

On Greg Kelly’s show on Newsmax, both yesterday and today, they showed Obama answer a hypothetical on running the government from outside, if he could. Greg then analyzed the events since then, and just now, an hour ago, he had Devon Nunes and Dick Morris on, and discussed this remote control presidency of Obama, executed by Susan Rice and Samantha Powers. Essentially, those 2 are the ones whipping up these EOs that Biden is then rubber-stamping
Dick Morris also conjectured that the deal that Biden had w/ Jim Clyburn last year was that in return for his support, Biden would nominate a Black woman. Everyone – Biden, Clyburn and Obama wanted Michelle Obama to take the job, but she steadfastly refused, and so it ended up going to Kamala Harris. According to Morris, Obama hoped to become the 2nd gent – the job Doug Emhoff has – and run the government through her, but she’d have none of it, so they settled on Harris
I think more highly of the Supreme Soviet system, where there was a Politburo w/ a handful of members who decided everything. At least there, everyone knew who they were
David M says
How about the FBI snoop through the classified emails of Hillary Clinton she had on unsecured servers, or the laptop of Hunter Biden showing the Bidens were bought & paid for by China? That little nugget seems to have been well & truly buried by them, I’m guessing because the Bidens are Democrats anything on Hunter’s laptop is going to be totally ignored, no matter what it shows.
You hear it all the time, the average FBI agent is good, but the top levels are totally corrupt. You can follow that theme back to J Edgar Hoover himself, whom the mob had homosexual photos of so Hoover didn’t touch them. Hoover also had incriminating evidence of each President he was under, & would openly show it to them & blackmail the President so each President could never touch him.
Keith O says
The FBI doing illegal stuff? NO WAY, They are honest and have very high integrity, just ask Killary Clinton and Hunter Biden.
Seriously, if the FBI told me the sun rose in the East, I’d get up early with a compass and check.

FBI Caught Snooping Through NSA Records to Look for ‘Racially Motivated Violent Extremists’
…………….
Scary stuff. And these days most “white supremacy” is anything but.
Ben Kennedy says
Lest we forget, the FBI has been known to plant a news story in the media, then use the media’s story to justify a FISA Warrant. This is a serious corruption of even the corrosive laws that violate our US Constitution. The only “transparency” in government is in the oppressive need the government has to re-write our Constitution, for the purpose of legalizing all the crimes they have been engaged in committing against it already.

Tucker Carlson had some very interesting, and troubling commetns and facts on the events and results of Jan. 6, biden’s “worst attack.”
‘One man who entered the Capitol through an opened door, walked about, spoke to someone in an office, walked out and then back in, strolled down a corridor, has been arrested, charged and is facing 7 years in prison.
The D.C. DA bragged that he was charging 500 people for what happened that day.’
And, he and discussed the *rumor* that many have been put on the “no-fly list” for being present in D.C. that day.
Evidently, last November, the country became a dictatorship, after having been mislead for countless years by the lying media.
When a group springs a coup and takes over a nation, one of the first things they do is to capture the communications…radio, television, newspaper…and only their propaganda gets published.
Then, the new “leader” gets on and tells everyone how it will be; and any dissenters are hunted down, arrested, and either imprisoned or executed. And of course, any who tell the truth about the coup are targeted first.
The U.S. is way behind in the production of bananas, but nuts are abundant.
