That's because Diversity at its core is simply tribalism. Where common culture is replaced by multiple sub-cultures operating with different cultural norms and beliefs. The myth is this will lead to some sort of social Utopia. But in reality, its the driving force in the Balkanization of America.

Don't forget there's a host of others in DOJ and FBI guilty of obstructing inevestigators at IRS, DOJ, and FBI including the AG and FBI Director. I think that's a bigger story than the Biden family payoff and influence racket.. Several IRS whistle blowers attested to that in sworn statements. Which Garland has denied. Somebody's lying. Who do you believe? Working level agents trying to do their job or the AG and other political appointees trying to protect their boss?

This is an example of the ultimate goal of the authoritarians. To condition the population to "self-censor". People are afraid of the blowback and criticism they'll receive from the system of social justice organizations and mouthpieces and the impact it might have on their compensation opportunities and their standing in various social circles. Like Pavlov's dogs. Psychologically conditioning people to avoid consequences.

Whether he's a nutjob or not I think RFK asks questions and reaches conclusions that are a big headache for people running things. The fear is the public listens to his positions, finds them reasoned and logical, gets firsthand exposure to him, assign some credibility to his arguments, and start asking these officials the same questions and more. Questions they don't want to answer. Such as you mention about COVID. And other things of interest. Their strategy to address the problem RFK presents is to pretend he doesn't exist while employing the usual smear and censorship tactics to anyone that defies their control. What the establishment prefers is the public be reliant on an army of credentialed experts they employ for guidance. Saying listen to us and follow our instructions. My problem is I'm a skeptic and I'm always suspicious of authority telling me they've got my interests at heart without being willing to provide some information about their motivations, advice, and directions. I think others that share my skepticism here on the PPP and elsewhere are curious about his ideas while others don't mind being led around by their noses by the official voices. That said, being willing to listen to his ideas doesn't mean I'm throwing my support his way.

The fundamental issue is the non-disclosure and misrepresentation of sources of income. Bribes and payoffs don't generally come with W2 or 1099 forms. So really not so much the avoidance of taxes through improper deductions and credits.

I think the ultimate problem inflicting both parties is the result of money and campaign financing. The national parties hold way too much control and influence over Senators and Representatives. Conformity and obedience is demanded and any attempts to reconcile and compromise with "the enemy" is fraught with negative consequences. Like not getting campaign money or the national party finding a more compliant person to run for your seat in the primary. Maybe getting dropped from committee assignments. All these people campaign at the local or state level on specific issues of interest to the citizens of their district and state then go to Washington and forget about almost all of those issues and pledges. Then just toe the party line at the national level. Anybody that steps out of lines gets roasted or pushed back inside the national party's ideological guardrails I'm not sure what the solution to a lack of independence and conviction to getting things done might be other than prohibiting large donors and more regulation and rules around PACs and other sources of funds.

I think its just because Schiff is a slimy pathological liar. But that's quite a conspiracy theory you've got there. My guess is from the looks of his expanding waistline, the only thing Trump is ordering lately is a couple Big Macs and a large shake.

I'm waiting for somebody to tell us Adam Schiff has proof that the manufacturers warranty registration card for the laptop was mailed from Moscow 😀 The address details Vlad Putin Kremlin Building Division of Misinformation Trump Assistance Team Moscow, Russia

It's not just one bad cop. It starts at the top. Wray and Garland. Both have compromised ethics. For starters, both are chronic liars. Both are obstructing House committe requests for information. To protect their boss.

This is a great working example of above the law actions of Federal law enforcement. Because knowingly presenting false or incorrect evidence to a judge in order to procure a search or surveillance warrant is a crime as well as a violation of the Constitutional rights of the suspect. How much jail time would such a crime entail and how much did Clinesmith serve?

I personally don't believe the Democratic party controls the DOJ. Its not a case of "liking" or "not liking" their actions. Its a case of conditional application of the law in pursuing charges or letting things slide. The condition being is the person protected by the system or not. Its using the power of the agencies for political purpose. Something absolutely forbidden. Its a uni-party system that includes membership from both parties. They're not working for you or me no matter our party affiliation or views. They're working for other interests, people with money. Money they can stuff in their own pockets. That's what our Federal government has been transformed into, from a representative republic to a high-stakes payoff and bribery operation. I don't understand why its not obvious to everyone. Perhaps some hold ideals of democracy that blinds them to the truth? Or they just don't want to see it? Or it personally benefits them? I'm not sure why you think the DOJ is full of Republicans. Some family members worked in the Washington system for most of their working careers at some of these very agencies, DOJ, DEA, Homeland Security, GSA, IRS, and I'm pretty confident most of the agency staff were Democrats. Not that it matters.

The thing the useful idiots don't understand is that when push comes to shove that protection racket does not extend to them any more than it does to the people that openly denounce it.

Citizens (generally MAGA, libertarians, old school liberals) have concluded those agencies have transformed from law enforcement organizations into a personal protection operation for the political class and their supporters.

His "followers" believe the left is trying to destroy the country. And succeeding. Open borders, endless wars, censorship of free speech, DEI and diversity destroying a culture of merit and exceptionalism, normalizing perversion and decadence, destroying our military by forcing woke values, weaponizing the government against its citizens which it treats as subjects, etc.. Somebody's wrong.

What I find fascinating and frightening at the same time is most people on the left believe they're free thinkers immersed in good morals and ethics while the right are hooligans and rubes, mere drones receiving commands and instructions from some centralized source. Considering the left controls almost every centralized source of information and authority while pursuing the objective of centralizing even more and more sources of information and authority along with censoring and blocking voices and ideas they object to flies in the face of that argument. Basically, free thinkers not welcome. Conformists, yes please. If there's a script they're reading and writing it.

I don't typically catch Carlson's podcast but I watched episode 5. And I'm left curious about exactly what you would characterize as lying in that episode?

That's interesting but I haven't seen a source of information that provides any read out of an in-depth FBI analysis of the files and data on the machine. Can you please point out the FBI link or source?

This sounds awfully close to what for 7 years many have been characterizing as foreign election interference. I think the distinction is: When some other government does it, BAD. When our government does it, GOOD.

On TV the FBI investigates and solves all kinds of cases and shows how the good guys always prevail. Acting selflessly to protect the public from harm. Investigating a crime, gathering evidence, and arresting the suspect. But in real life the FBI's at its best when creating entrapment cases that use confidential resources and undercover agents to initiate and instigate some criminal activity which they can use to entrap and charge their target(s). Or is some shape or form participating in the protection racket provided to key political figures.

60% of Americans have just been added to the FBI/DOJ "Enemies of the State" list as Super Secret Ultra MAGA White Supremacist Insurrectionist Radical Extremist Election and Vaccine Denying Radical Subversives.

So you have no objection to the conclusion China is running circles around Biden and has little to no respect for the man or the administration? I'm asking because you ignored that part.

The Chinese are methodically expanding their influence in every corner of the planet while pushing the US out. And they're doing it without firing a shot. Making economic and security arrangements that appear mutually beneficial. Would I trust them? No, but regardless of my view these nations around the world are realigning their relationships. They have no respect for or desire to engage this administration. Their assessment is we're a nation is severe decline and absent leadership. Unfortunately, I agree with that assessment. Biden's administration is similar to that Roman Emperor's regime in 455 AD. Being a history buff I expect you know what I mean.

It's not his word. It's a signed draft of a peace treaty. Is the draft a forgery? We don't know but I don't hear anyone that was involved on either side of the negotiations at the time protesting or making those accusations. That might be coming but it hasn't yet. I'm sure the CIA and the IC will chime in at some point right on queue and declare the document a forgery. Should we expect anything less? This story about Johnson playing messenger boy was going around last April. It was brought up here and roundly dismissed by those typically faithful to the official story. At the time Ukraine was fairing well in the war but it seems less so right now. Maybe they should have ignored the allies demand to continue fighting?

Congratulations Sec. Blinkin and President Biden China and Cuba are working out the details of creating a joint training base on the northern coast of Cuba. Elsewhere, Qatar is finishing the details of a 27 year LNG deal with China National Petroleum. Meanwhile the geniuses in Washington will be debating what country we'll be bombing next. They make deals and we blow stuff up. So okay class, which do you think is a more effective strategy? Absolutely getting results!

The difference is the injustices at the bottom inflict more severe punishment while the President's son gets a pass because his dad and his enforcers and bagholders are as crooked as they come. Just the opposite. Rationalize it all you want. The FBI and DOJ are a disgrace. The President used his office for personal gain. I recall somebody telling me the other day that's what some other guy was guilty of and he got impeached for a phone call. Now that's the real BS here. At some point Karma will extract its vengeance. And I will smile.
