Why do you believe that? As far as I know, the McCloskeys were Republicans and actually supported Trump in 2016.


Hmm, maybe I got them confused with another homeowner who had a sign supporting BLM or some such but then a mob descended on them.

Bret and his wife though are a classic example. They still consider themselves liberal and were proud Democrats, but after being mugged by the woke they now sound like mainstream DJT supporters in terms of policies.

I don't think so. IIRC he made some noise about running for office as the drama played out but I don't think anything came of that. St. Louisans could prove me wrong but I think the McCloskeys were dems.

The McCloskeys are Republicans. I'm on the State Committee and hung out with them a bit at the Missouri State Lincoln Days.
Mark did run for Senate but Eric Schmitt was by far the better candidate.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Thanks, chellim 1. I think some local coverage at the time assumed that Mark was a dem because of his profession. Never a surprise when the media does a half assed job.

FBI tipped off Biden team, Secret Service about plan to interview Hunter, agent tells Congress

https://justthenews.com/accoun..._campaign=newsletter

A recently retired FBI agent told Congress behind closed doors Monday that the bureau tipped off Joe Biden's team and the Secret Service in fall 2020 about a plan to interview Hunter Biden in his criminal tax probe, corroborating allegations from two IRS whistleblowers, Just the News has confirmed.

The FBI agent, who worked alongside the IRS whistleblowers on the Hunter Biden case when he was assigned to the Baltimore field office, gave his account in a transcribed interview before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, providing fresh evidence of alleged political interference in the treatment of Joe Biden's son.

He corroborated several aspects of the account IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley and a second agent gave Congress last month, including that law enforcement's plan to conduct a surprise interview in early December 2020 with Hunter Biden about alleged tax crimes was foiled by the tipoff.

The agent, whose name wasn't immediately made public, said the bureau told both Joe Biden's transition office and the Secret Service, creating a tipoff that thwarted the planned interview.

In his testimony to the House Ways and Means Committee back in May, Shapley described how the tipoff around Dec. 8, 2020, was a major set back for the investigation, and one of several instances in which political favoritism and interference occurred.

"I was informed that FBI headquarters had notified Secret Service headquarters and the transition team about the planned actions the following day," Shapley testified.

You can read Shapley's complete interview with lawmakers here.

He said the alert afforded Hunter Biden and his team "an opportunity to obstruct" the investigation.

Shapley and his IRS colleague are slated to testify in public for the first time as early as Wednesday before House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer's panel, and officials told Just the News they hope to release a transcript of the FBI agent's corroborating testimony in the next few days.

It’s no small matter that so many whistleblowers are coming forward. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. The criminal and dishonest Biden Administration couldn’t be more obvious.

BIDEN’S NEW INCOME-DRIVEN REPAYMENT (“SAVE”) PLAN: BUDGETARY COST ESTIMATE UPDATE

https://budgetmodel.wharton.up...ayment-budget-update

Summary: PWBM estimates that President Biden’s new Income-Driven Repayment Plan (the “SAVE” plan) will cost $475 billion over the 10-year budget window. This estimate includes the Supreme Court’s decision to invalidate President Biden’s Student Loan Forgiveness Plan and the Department of Education’s final regulations announced on July 10, 2023.

Key Points

The Department of Education recently announced final regulations on the proposed Income-Driven Repayment Plan called “SAVE.” These final regulations follow the Supreme Court’s recent decision to invalidate President Biden’s previous Student Loan Forgiveness Plan. We estimate SAVE will incur a net cost of $475 billion over the 10-year budget window.

About $200 billion of that cost will come from payment reduction for the $1.64 trillion in loans already outstanding in 2023. We estimate that about 53 percent of the current loan volume will move to SAVE after it goes active in July 2024, implying that about $869 billion will be subject to enhanced subsidies under SAVE.

The remainder of the budget cost, or about $275 billion, comes from reduced payments for about $1.03 trillion in new loans that we estimate will be extended over the next 10 years. We estimate a take-up rate for future loans of 70 percent, implying that about $645 billion in future loans will be subsidized. About 6.57 percent of future borrowers (or 4.98 percent of total predicted loan volume) will never have to make any payments under SAVE.

Good Lord, this thing with the scumbag druggie son just keeps getting better and better:

DOJ Let Hunter Biden Call To Give FBI, IRS Interviews -- So He Never Did

Zero Hedge
Tuesday, Jul 18, 2023 - 01:45 PM

In December of 2020, federal investigators were allegedly told they weren't allowed to approach Hunter Biden for an interview. Instead, they were told Hunter - the subject of their investigation - would call them.

He never did.

The First crackhead-elect simply ghosted the FBI and moved on. No pre-dawn raid with CNN planted nearby for the photo-op. No indictments.

On Monday, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability conducted a transcribed interview with a former FBI supervisory agent who was working out of the agency's Wilmington office on the Biden criminal investigation. The FBI whistleblower confirmed key prortions of the IRS whistleblowers' testimony - including an allegation that both the Biden transition team and the Secret Service were tipped off about the planned Hunter Biden interview, American Greatness reports.

"As part of the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden, there were multiple witness interviews planned for December 8, 2020. IRS Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapley and the former FBI supervisory special agent were assigned to interview Hunter Biden," the Committee said in a Monday evening statement.

On December 7, 2020, Shapley and the FBI whistleblower say they learned that FBI headquarters notified Secret Service headquarters and the Biden transition team about the planned Hunter interview.

"This was not the original plan by the career agents, which frustrated their investigative efforts because people found out who didn’t need to know," said the House Oversight Committee.

The next day, December 8, 2020, Shapley and the FBI whistleblower were told not to approach Hunter Biden’s house to do the interview. Instead, the investigators were told to wait near his residence until Hunter Biden contacted them, according to the Oversight Committee.

The Justice Department’s preferential treatment of Hunter Biden stands in stark contrast to the much harsher treatment multiple subjects of the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation received, such as Trump’s short-lived National Security advisor Michael Flynn, who was ambushed at the White House in the early days of the Trump administration.

The former FBI special agent told committee investigators “he had never been told to wait outside to be contacted by the subject of an investigation.” -American Greatness


At the end of the day, Shapley and the FBI whistleblower were never able to interview Hunter.

Following the interview, House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer issued the following statement:

"Today, a former FBI supervisory special agent assigned to the FBI’s Wilmington office and the Biden criminal investigation confirmed key portions of the IRS whistleblower’s testimony. The night before the interview of Hunter Biden, both Secret Service headquarters and the Biden transition team were tipped off about the planned interview. On the day of the Hunter Biden interview, federal agents were told to stand by and could not approach Hunter Biden—they had to wait for his call. As a result of the change in plans, IRS and FBI criminal investigators never got to interview Hunter Biden as part of the investigation.

"The Justice Department’s efforts to cover up for the Bidens reveals a two-tiered system of justice that sickens the American people. The Oversight Committee, along with the Judiciary Committee and Ways and Means Committee, will continue to seek the answers, transparency, and accountability that the American people demand and deserve."

Biden DoD Lets Transgender Service Members Skip Deployments, Receive Indefinite Physical Fitness Waivers: Confidential Memo


2 separate classes of soldiers isn't gonna cut it. One will despise the other which kills morale. Not hard to see why retention and recruitment numbers are down. It would take one helluva restructuring and overhaul to get our military back to where it needs to be, starting at the Pentagon and top leadership (officer and enlisted) for each branch. At this point, I'd say it would take at least 3 decades to correct the problem, possibly longer.

The true irony of all of this, is that if Trump had even hinted at doing anything that has been described or shown in video in this thread it would have been an immediate public tar & feathering followed by impeachment(again) proceedings along with massive protests in the streets, screaming, lamenting, burning of urban stores.
