Adam Schiff Could Face $16 Million Fine for Russian Collusion Hoax 

  By Elaine Mallon 25th May 2023

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) introduced a resolution proposing a $16 million fine for Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) for “egregious abuse of the trust of the American people” regarding his assertions of collusion between former President Donald Trump and Russia during the 2016 election.

“It is the obligation of House Leadership to back up this motion for the American people and hold this feckless man accountable,” Rep. Luna said in a statement. “This is a privileged resolution and it is the right thing for House Leadership to support and bring accountability and respect back to the House of Representatives. ALL Members of Congress must be held to this standard.”

The proposed fine represents approximately half of the cost incurred by taxpayers for the federal investigation into alleged Trump-Russia collusion, which has been debunked by reports from special counsels Robert Mueller and John Durham.

Breitbart reported last week that Durham exonerated Donald Trump on all claims of Russian collusion and confirmed that the FBI targeted and spied on the former president. Since 2017, Schiff has asserted the evidence tying President Trump to the Russian hoax was not circumstantial.

The resolution highlights Schiff’s role as the chair of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), granting him access to sensitive information unavailable to other members. This position allowed Schiff to “instigate a fraudulently based investigation, which he then used to amass political gain and fundraising dollars.”

Among numerous offenses cited in the resolution is this, referring to Trump associate Carter Page:

Representative Schiff composed a false memo justifying the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant application on Trump associate Carter Page, which Inspector General Horowitz later found was riddled with 17 major mistakes and omissions, provoking FISA Court Presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer to state unequivocally that the Federal Bureau of Investigation “mislead [sic] the FISC.”

The resolution also says that Schiff vilified Carter, calling him a Russian collaborator, and thereby “contributed to the gross violation of a United States citizen’s civil liberties.” The resolution also alleges that Rep. Schiff “recited a false, concocted rendition of a phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.”

Last week, Luna introduced a separate resolution aiming to expel Schiff from Congress due to alleged abuses of his position on the intelligence committee.

 Hannity: The White House has been ‘stonewalling’ McCarthy    Fox News

Sean Hannity ripped President Biden's alleged repeated refusal to come to a deal with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on the debt ceiling as the deadline approached on "Hannity.'

SEAN HANNITY: All eyes are on the Biden White House, where Joe is still refusing to come to terms on a debt ceiling that is, well, pretty imminent. According to Democrats, the sky is falling. The American economy and the world's economy is about to collapse. And it's all Kevin McCarthy's fault when in fact it's anything but Kevin McCarthy's fault. So why didn't Democrats care so deeply about this issue over 100 days ago when Speaker McCarthy was all but begging the White House – you know, weekly, monthly., day after day – to sit down and negotiate this.

That week after week, month after month. The White House has been, stonewalling and Kevin McCarthy. They completely ignored him over and over and over and over again, and they refused to answer the phone. And according to Democrats, there would be no negotiations. It was our way or the highway.

It was their way or the highway. Here's the timeline. Now, the facts are absolutely on Kevin McCarthy time. And by the way, these are facts that the abuse of biased, corrupt media mob will never give you. Now, four months ago, on January 13th, the White House press secretary proudly announced there would be no negotiations, as you just heard, on January 20th. Speaker McCarthy reached out in earnest to begin these talks. Well, they refused over and over and over again.

In April, McCarthy delivered a dire message warning that a default was near. Well, that warning also fell on deaf ears. And then on April the 20th, with no other option, the House Republicans, they did their job and they passed a Limit, Save, Grow Act, which raised the debt ceiling and cut spending in a responsible way simply by returning to 2022 spending levels.

READ ON THE FOX NEWS APP

That's hardly Draconian and capping growth future growth to only 1%. And the CBO scored that bill at a very respectable and very responsible $4.8 trillion in savings. Now, of course, this came as a shock to most Democrats. They didn't believe that the Republicans could ever come together. They were betting McCarthy would fail. They bet wrong.

Scandal: Second IRS Special Agent Who Investigated Hunter Biden Fired ‘Without Explanation’ Last Week, Will Testify Before Congress    Story by Dave Malyon • Knewz

A second IRS whistleblower has surfaced in the investigation of Hunter Biden raising more concerns about how the Justice Department has been dealing with the probe.

The second whistleblower, who had led the Hunter Biden investigation since 2018, is a special agent in the IRS's international tax and financial crimes group and was removed from his post without an explanation last week.

Said special agent claims to have sent out emails to seven senior IRS officers with his allegations of being removed from the case "for doing the right thing," which according to him included raising alarm about the DOJ's alleged incorrect handling of the case.

This whistleblower was the manager of the IRS's international tax and monetary crimes group, who will testify in private before the House Ways and Means Committee on Friday.

I'm Tired and More Than a Little

 Pissed Off

By: E. P. Unum   May 15, 2023

Forgive me if I rant a bit. My wife and I are both 78 years young and we have lived a good life as decent God–fearing American citizens in the land we call home. For us the shadows are lengthening; the twilight is here. But we don't regret a single moment of the fifty-two years we have spent together, and we look forward to whatever years lie ahead of us. We raised five sons but lost one to fentanyl poisoning last year. It didn't have to happen but thanks to Joe Biden's fecklessness it did. I have "turned the other cheek" many times in my life but this one I do not forgive or forget. Mr. Biden may be the President of the United States but he is a liar, a cheat, and a deceitful, evil man and he has been that way his entire life. His actions since January 20 2021 have been to sell our country down the river. In my opinion, he is also a crook and the head of a crime family that makes Don Corleone in The Godfather look like a cub scout leader. I hold him responsible for my son's death and the deaths of over 100,000 other young men and women in our country because of his arrogance, hatred for Donald Trump, and unwillingness to close our southern border to illegal immigrants, human traffickers, smugglers, and terrorists. Biden belongs in a jail cell not running our country.

God has blessed us with ten grandchildren and another on the way this coming July. It has been a joy to watch them grow, but I fear greatly for their future. No longer are they learning about our Founding Fathers and the sacrifices they made to form this nation. Neither are they learning about our Constitutional Republic and what it means to be a citizen of this great land. They are not being taught basic economics and how businesses work nor the fact that in 250 years of our existence America has built the single most successful economy and standard of living the world has ever known! Nations and societies dating back thousands of years haven't come close to the successes we have had. It is unlikely that our grandchildren will ever learn that their country, America, has earned more Nobel Prizes in Science, Mathematics, Economics, and the Arts than any ten other nations combined on this planet Earth. Nor will they learn in today's classroom the significance of names like Bull Run, Antietam, Belleau Wood, the Argonne, Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, D-Day, Khe Sahn, Hue City, Mosul, Kandahar, and a hundred other places around the world where American sons and daughters gave up their tomorrows for our todays.

No, they are too busy learning about Critical Race Theory or being entertained by Drag Queen performances in their school classrooms and auditoriums. Boys are being taught that if "they feel like they want to be a girl" they can go into the girl's locker room or bathroom and it is OK. Far too many "teachers" focus on "what is wrong about America" not what is right about it. The dumbing down of America seems to be the current order of the day. Instead of enlightening our young, they are confounding them. No wonder their faces are buried in their cell phones, which is yet another piece of territory surrendered to the modern-day education system.

Like many of you reading this essay, I did not inherit my job or my income. I worked hard to get where I am in my life. God blessed me with some athletic ability, and I parlayed that into a good college education and a brief shot at professional baseball. And, my wife was there to support me all the way, every day. I've made plenty of mistakes and sacrificed a great deal for my family, and I did it without ever sacrificing my integrity or my principles.

So, yes I am tired. I am very tired:

I am tired of lifelong politicians who have never held a job in their entire life telling me I have to "spread the wealth" to people who don't have my work ethic or records of accomplishments. People who have sacrificed nothing but contend they are entitled to receive everything.

I'm tired of people, rich and poor, who have a sense of entitlement. No one gave me, my father, or grandfather anything.

I'm tired…and more than a little pissed off…that I am labeled a racist. I played on teams that were made up of blacks, Asians, Indians, and many other ethnic origins. And I fought alongside all of them. Guess what! The one constant is that we all bleed red blood.

I'm tired of hearing from President Biden that he wants to "forgive student debt". Why? Besides, it is not debt forgiveness he is proposing; it is debt transfer. Students who borrowed thousands of dollars to go to college will be "forgiven their debt repayment" with the obligation transferred to the national debt - to We the People. The taxpayer…you and I… will be charged with the responsibility to pay off this massive obligation even though we never borrowed a dime. It's the kind of thinking you see when you are dealing with other people's money.

I'm tired of watching Joe Biden and his Administration screw up everything on which they put their hands. I am tired of this ill-informed, unintelligent, lying, deceitful old man talking tough on stage and insulting hard-working Americans every time he steps up to a microphone. The man couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag.

I'm really tired of listening to prima donna athletes, Hollywood entertainers and lifelong politicians of all parties speak as if their opinions matter to me. I'm tired of their pretending they can relate at all to the life I lead. And I am tired of these pompous fools who will not stand for our nation's flag or anthem, and I am really tired of the team owners and commissioners tolerating this behavior.

Finally, I am tired and exhausted of being told I must lower my standard of living, which took me a lifetime to create, to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate. Here is a news flash: climate has been changing for planet Earth for millions of years. The government can't balance its budget but they want me to believe they can alter the weather if we just cough up more tax dollars. If there really is a climate crisis, do you think Barack Hussein Obama or Bill Gates or Joe Biden would own mansions by the seashore? If you do, give me a call as I have a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell to you.

Early on I mentioned that I am in the twilight of my life. I'm kind of glad about that because I'm not going to live to see the depressing world the useless idiots making up the Biden Administration are creating. And, even though I shouted from the rooftops, no one listened or seemed to give a damn. And that includes relatives and friends who for some inexplicable reason feel things are OK and Joe Biden is doing a great job!

Here is a bulletin…..breaking news….another News Flash:

You reap what you sow. No one is entitled to anything. You are given freedom so you can choose to work or live off the government dole. You can get drunk every night, take drugs to get high, or lay in bed playing with your cell phone. Be advised, it will all catch up to you and one day you will find yourself penniless. Or, you can choose to work hard and make something of yourself. All of it is on you. I have nothing to do with your choices. You and you alone are entitled to what you earn.

Appended to this essay is a list of Joe Biden's Accomplishments over the past 47 years. Rest easy. It is a very quick read, and if I included the years in which he accomplished nothing, the list would extend this essay further than Rip would be willing to publish. I defy anyone to stack this up against the record of Donald J. Trump who spent four years in office working for free (he donated all four years of his Presidential salary of $1.6 million to charity)

How do they compare?

One last thought: America is in such crisis today that it boggles the imagination. We are desperately in need of hard-nosed leadership and have little time for "on-the-job training". Donald Trump is one man who knows today what needs to be done, and he is capable of saving our nation from the abyss in which we find ourselves. He hits the ground running the moment he is elected. No one else comes close. If you want to get back to prosperity, strengthen our military and resolve, become energy independent once again, and kick inflation in the ass, elect Donald Trump. That is my personal opinion.

LIST OF JOE BIDEN'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS

OVER HIS 47 YEARS OF GOVERNMENT

"SERVICE"

1973 Biden enters politics

1977 Biden fights to keep schools segregated because in his own words, "allowing blacks to integrate would create a racial jungle"

1983 Biden votes to tax Social Security

1988 Biden runs for President but had to end his campaign after getting busted for plagiarism

1993 Biden taxes Social Security again

1994 Biden writes the "Stop and Frisk" Law which blacks today blame for "systemic racism" This law is widely heralded as Biden's greatest accomplishment in his career.

2008 Biden calls Barack Hussein Obama the "very first clean mainstream African American" he has met.

2020 Now Biden is ready to chart a course for our nation and "fix the ills that have befallen us"

Of course, there was always his "Nay" vote to go after Osama bin Laden, but after the success of that mission, Joey B ran to the microphones and a waiting press to announce for all the world to hear "how proud he was that Seal Team 6 had accomplished their mission." And in so doing, Biden, clueless as he is, put a target on the backs of every Seal Team 6 member. A few months later a Chinook Helicopter carrying Seal Team 6 members was shot down in the mountains of Afghanistan with a Rocket Propelled Grenade. One more feather in your cap Joey baby. With friends like you, who needs enemies?

Robert Gates, former Secretary of Defense had it right when he said that Joe Biden "got in wrong on every foreign policy decision in the last forty years." And not to be outdone, Barack Hussein Obama also distinguished himself by reminding people to "never underestimate the ability of Joe Biden to f---k things up"

Remember all of this when it comes time to vote. And then remember these words from former Congressman Allen West:

"The Democratic Party is the world's most successful hate group. It attracts poor people who hate rich people; black people who hate white people; gay people who hate straight people; feminists who hate men; environmentalists who hate internal combustion engines; lots of bratty college kids who hate their parents but love their wallets."

However, the real secret of the party's success is that it attracts the support of journalists who hate Republicans and who therefore work tirelessly to convince the rest of us we should vote for Democrats!

Bombshell report reveals FBI whistleblowers 'faced devastating retaliation' for speaking out about 'politicized rot': Claim security clearances were revoked, they were suspended without pay and made 'homeless'The report details instances where the FBI 'retaliated' against agents for speaking out on politicization of the agency

The officials say they were punished for questioning the FBI's intention to investigate concerned parents at school board meetings  Conservatives at the FBI are also facing a 'purge' as agency leadership wants them out, say whistleblowers

By KELLY LACO, EXECUTIVE EDITOR OF POLITICS FOR DAILYMAIL.COM
PUBLISHED: 08:00 EDT, 18 May 2023

The House Select Committee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government released a new report building upon disclosures by FBI whistleblowers detailing severe retaliation they endured after speaking out about 'politicized rot' in the bureau.

'The FBI, under Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland, is broken,' write the Republicans led by Jim Jordan of Ohio, the select committee chairman in the report released Thursday.

'The leadership at the FBI and Justice Department have weaponized federal law enforcement against everyday Americans, seeking to silence those who dare to have a different viewpoint,' it continues.

Steven Friend (right) had his security clearance revoked last September after he vocalized concerns to his superiors

The report, titled 'FBI Whistleblower Testimony Highlights Government Abuse, Misallocation of Resources, and Retaliation' says whistleblowers have had their security clearances revoked, been suspended without pay and some have been left 'homeless' for speaking up on abuses they have witnessed.

Jordan said the report shows that the federal agency is trying to 'crush' viewpoints that they don't agree with. 

'If you're a parent attending a school board meeting, you're pro-life or praying at a clinic or you're a Catholic simply going to Mass you are a target of the government, target of the FBI,' he said at a press conference. 

But worse than that, he continued, is if you are a good, brave whistleblower 'you get attacked, they will try to crush you.'

The FBI has been under the spotlight this week as a long-awaited report by Special Counsel John Durham was released - finding that the FBI did not have enough 'factual evidence' to investigate allegations of Trump-Russia collusion.

Whistleblower Marcus Allen testified before the House Select Committee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government

The news of the new report comes just before a 9 a.m. ET hearing by the House Select Committee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.

Three former FBI officials outlined in the report - suspended special agents Garret O'Boyle and Steve Friend, as well as former State Operations Specialist Marcus Allen - will testify.

They are anticipated to detail the alleged 'abuses of power' by FBI leadership - ranging from discrimination against conservatives to inflation of domestic terrorism statistics.

Each Week – We Have No Idea Why   Guest Post by Sam Faddis

Border Patrol agents encountered more than 4,200 illegal migrants from China between October 2022 and February 2023, compared to roughly 1,900 in all of fiscal year 2022, according to CBP data. The Border Patrol believes that number is going to continue to rise and has warned its agents to prepare.

“Chinese national apprehensions will continue to rise across the SWB [Southwest border]. primarily in Yuma and the Rio Grande Sector, as more Chinese nationals successfully reach the United States to request asylum and information about routes becomes more accessible.”

“CBP reporting suggests that given the apprehensions in RGV [Rio Grande Valley], it is unlikely that a new smuggling route were [sic] created, but that the recent uptick is indicative of an overall surge across the entire SWB [Southwest border].”

IRS Whistleblower Letter Points Out DOJ Retaliation In Hunter Biden Probe

In a letter to the House and Senate justice committees, attorneys for an IRS whistleblower claim that the whistleblower’s entire team has been dismissed from the Hunter Biden investigation, accusing the government of engaging in unlawful retribution.

Congress was informed by the whistleblower’s legal counsel that the removal had been mandated by the Department of Justice.

Rep. James Comer @RepJamesComer“Today the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Criminal Supervisory Special Agent we represent was informed that he and his entire investigative team are being removed from the ongoing and sensitive investigation of the high-profile, controversial subject about which our client sought to make whistleblower disclosures to Congress,” the letter stated.

“Today the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Criminal Supervisory Special Agent we represent was informed that he and his entire investigative team are being removed from the ongoing and sensitive investigation of the high-profile, controversial subject about which our client sought to make whistleblower disclosures to Congress,” the letter stated.

“He was informed the change was at the request of the Department of Justice,” attorneys Mark Lytle and Tristan Leavitt wrote.

Protections for whistleblowers are codified in federal law. A whistleblower must initially approach their immediate supervisor or the supervisor in charge of the relevant matter, according to protocol. The whistleblower can go directly to the inspector general of their agency if they feel that approaching a supervisor could endanger their safety or if they suspect the supervisor is connected to any alleged wrongdoing. When necessary, the Inspector General can then interact with Congress from there.

According to sources, the IRS whistleblower in this instance disclosed information to the U.S. Treasury Inspector General for tax administration.

Depending on the circumstances, removing a whistleblower from a situation or inquiry might be interpreted as retaliation, but it might also be required to protect the impartiality of the investigation and the accused witness, sources added.

“The department cannot comment on the matter,” a Justice Department spokesperson said. “As to any investigation of Hunter Biden, as the attorney general has said, that investigation is being handled by US Attorney David Weiss, who has full authority to make investigative decisions and to bring charges in any jurisdiction as he deems appropriate.”

About time they're doing something about this MESS!

The End of Joe Biden Has Arrived Story by Brent M. Eastwood • 55m ago

Joe Biden© Provided by 1945

In what must be seen as an alarming trend for the White House and the Biden campaign management team for his re-election bid, President Joe Biden is languishing in another new poll. Biden is garnering an overall approval rating of just 36 percent – down from 42 percent approval from the same survey in February. He has high disapproval ratings, low support for running again, and a dipping number that measures his mental acuity.

May 8, 2023From 19FortyFive.com - 

Joe Biden Backstabs While Kevin McCarthy Leads: The political machinations are in high gear this Spring as we head into what should be a relatively quiet summer recess season for Congress. Alas, it will neither be quiet nor peaceful this summer on Capitol Hill. The great debate over raising America’s debt ceiling is just beginning. 

The financial well-being of every American today is at stake. 

There are ghouls on the Left and the Right who yearn to see America careen off the fiscal cliff just so the two squabbling sides can try to pin the blame for the disaster on the other side before the crashing car reaches its destructive destination at the bottom of that fiscal cliff. 

But there will be no real winners here. 

Only gradations of defeat, devastation, and destruction if America’s leaders cannot set aside their idiotic political differences and work for the common good.

People Are Concerned About Biden’s Cognitive State

Voters in the survey appear to be worried about the president’s age and mental sharpness. Twenty-six percent said he is too old for another term. Just 32 percent of those questioned agreed with the statement that Biden “has the mental sharpness it takes to serve effectively as president.” Sixty-three percent said he does not have the mental sharpness to serve confidently.

I'm sure she will do every bit as good of a job as she did when biden put her in charge of the border..."wink wink"

DeSantis Signs New Bills Allowing Death Penalty For Pedophiles(Photo by Octavio Jones/Getty Images)

OAN Roy Francis

UPDATED 10:16 AM – Tuesday, May 2, 2023

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a set of new crime bills into law which are meant to keep criminals in jail, and “throw the book at pedophiles” on Monday.

The three new bills, House Bill 1627, House Bill 1359, and House Bill 1297, increase the penalties for fentanyl traffickers, target bail reforms that are pushed by “leftist prosecutors,” as well as allowing the death penalty for those who commit certain crimes against minors.

“Today, I signed legislation that will: Makes child rapists eligible for the death penalty with the minimum sentence of life in prison without parole,” DeSantis (R-Fla.) said on Twitter. “Impose additional penalties on fentanyl and drug-related crimes targeted at children, Protect Floridians from disastrous bail ‘reform’ policies.”

House Bill 1627 targeted “bail reforms” with a variety of changes which included requiring the state’s Supreme Court to create a uniform bond schedule for the entire state by the end of 2023.

House Bill 1359 aimed to increase penalties against “rainbow fentanyl” traffickers by increasing the sentence to a possible life term in prison. Also, under the new bill, if someone attempts to create or sell fentanyl, they face a mandatory minimum of three years in prison, and If an adult sells, or gives fentanyl to a minor, the mandatory sentence will be up to 25 years in prison.

The last bill the governor signed, House Bill 1297, which imposes the death penalty against those who “commit sexual battery against children under the age of 12.”

Digging in YOUR backyard or SOMEONE elses, mining the elements needed for these EV car batteries will destroy the earth much more and quicker than any fossil fuel drilling !

It’s Time To Admit It: EVs Are EVIL

EVs are environmental rapists. Mining and refining the minerals needed to make EV batteries is also an environmental disaster. To make just one EV battery requires 25 pounds of lithium, 60 pounds of nickel, 44 pounds of manganese, 30 pounds of cobalt, 200 pounds of copper, and 400 pounds of aluminum, steel, and plastic.

ISSUESINSIGHTS.COM

Writing in these pages, Ronald Stein noted that “you must process 25,000 pounds of brine for the lithium, 30,000 pounds of ore for the cobalt, 5,000 pounds of ore for the nickel, and 25,000 pounds of ore for copper. All told, you dig up 500,000 pounds of the earth’s crust for just one battery.”

A Harley Biker is sitting on his Harley, drinking a beer, by the Zoo in Washington, DC when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage.
Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the collar of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.

The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings the girl to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A reporter has watched the whole event.

The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, “Sir, this was the most gallant and bravest thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.”

The Harley rider replies, “Why, it was nothing, really. The lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt right.”
The reporter says, “Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, you know, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page. So, what do you do for a living, and what political affiliation do you have?”
The biker replies "I'm a U.S. Marine, a Republican and I’m voting for Trump."
The journalist leaves.
The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:

“U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT & STEALS HIS LUNCH”

And THAT pretty much sums up the media's approach to the news these days!

Internal Revenue Service Hiring Armed Agents for All 50 States AWR HAWKINS 27 Apr 2023

An Internal Revenue Service (IRS) job posting shows the tax collection agency is hiring armed agents to work in states across the country.

The IRS website is emblazoned with the words, “We’re Hiring Special Agents Now!”

Among the major duties of IRS special agents is to “be willing and able to participate in arrests, execution of search warrants, and other dangerous assignments.”

Another duty is to “carry a firearm.”

The website say a special agent “must be prepared to protect him/herself or others from physical attacks at any time and without warning and use firearms in life-threatening situations; must be willing to use force up to and including the use of deadly force.”

Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) notes that the IRS has “360 vacancies” for agents, and those vacancies are spread across all 50 states.

President Joe Biden and Democrats in Congress used the Inflation Reduction Act to send $80 billion to the IRS, and ATR points out the IRS is “on pace to hire 87,000 IRS employees over the next decade.”
