It's funny how they bitch and moan about how bad it is and yet Canada is just a plane ride away.

Shortly before the 2016 presidential election, Peter Strzok, a key figure in the investigation, texted FBI lawyer Lisa Page to assure her "that there's no way [Trump] gets elected," adding that they "can't take that risk." He added that they had it all in hand because "It's like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you're 40."
In fact, whether it was known to Strzok or not, there was an insurance policy in the works. In July 2016, then-CIA Director John Brennan briefed President Barack Obama on Hillary Clinton's alleged "plan" to tie then-candidate Donald Trump to Russia as "a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server."
Brennan is believed to be a target of the current investigation, including possible perjury before Congress.
In reality, within days of that briefing on how Clinton would create this conspiracy theory, the investigation began, just as the Clinton campaign hoped it would.
Early on, the FBI was told by the CIA that its sources -- and the Steele dossier -- were unreliable. However, key FBI officials continued the surveillance and the investigation targeting the Trump campaign and key figures. One official later pleaded guilty to lying to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court to continue surveillance without an evidentiary basis.
At the end of 2016, a CIA assessment found that "Russian and criminal actors did not impact recent U.S. election results by conducting malicious cyber activities against election infrastructure." That presidential daily brief was scheduled to be published on Dec. 9, 2016, but the office of James Clapper, Obama's Director of National Intelligence, reportedly stopped the publication "based on some new guidance."
Clapper later joined Obama, along with John Brennan, Susan Rice, John Kerry, Loretta Lynch, Andrew McCabe, and others, in a meeting that would ultimately inject the debunked theory directly into the media.
A bipartisan House Ethics Committee panel found on March 27 that Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) committed 25 ethics violations, a ruling that sets the stage for a sanctions hearing and a potential expulsion vote on the House floor.
The adjudicatory subcommittee, composed of four Republicans and four Democrats, deliberated until well past midnight before releasing its findings Friday morning. The panel found 25 of 27 counts in the Statement of Alleged Violations proven by clear and convincing evidence. The full committee will hold a sanctions hearing shortly after the House returns from the April recess.
The violations center on Cherfilus-McCormick’s alleged use of millions of dollars from her family’s health care company, Trinity Healthcare Services, to fund her 2022 congressional campaign through a network of family members and affiliated businesses. Investigators also found violations related to her reelection campaign, financial disclosure failures, and use of her congressional office to benefit allies.
A Secret Service agent accidentally shot himself in the leg while escorting former first lady Jill Biden at Philadelphia International Airport, sources say.
Philadelphia police said it happened around 8:40 a.m. Friday. The agent was hospitalized in stable condition. ...
His anti-Trump antics have killed his comedic talent, as it was clear when he was on Comedy Central’s The Man Show. Jimmy Kimmel hasn’t been funny in years, and now he’s making more cheap shots at working people with a poor joke about Markwayne Mullin. The Oklahoma Republican was nominated and confirmed as the next Department of Homeland Security secretary, and Kimmel joked that we’re being protected by a plumber.
I’m glad he made the joke because it reminds us that a) we need to hate the Democrats more than they hate us to win, and b) it rehashes how their base openly disdains working Americans. Many people noted how bad this joke was and also provided details about Mullins’ backstory before his career in public life.
You knew there would be one of these videos, and it was something the Democrats hoped for. Fortunately, there was no shooting or deaths, which is what the Left really wanted for many sick political purposes. It was the arrest of some illegal aliens at San Francisco International Airport this week. So, you could imagine how bystanders reacted. Fact: these people were under deportation orders since 2019. Also, it was the TSA that tipped off ICE (via NYT):
...QuoteGovernment documents obtained by The New York Times explain the events leading up to the tense scene, including the exchange between the agent and Ms. Lopez-Jimenez.
The documents shed new light on how the Transportation Security Administration is sharing with ICE officials the names and birth dates of travelers believed to have been ordered out of the country by a judge. That has made it easier for the Trump administration to detain and deport undocumented immigrants as they pass through airports.
Ms. Lopez-Jimenez, 41, a native of Guatemala, and her daughter, Wendy Godinez-Lopez, were flagged by T.S.A. officials on Friday when they showed up on a passenger list for a Sunday flight from San Francisco to Miami. The agency then tipped off Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to the documents.
Federal Housing Finance Agency director William Pulte has referred New York Attorney General Letitia James to the DOJ for a second time, citing allegations that she falsified information related to a homeowner’s insurance application.
On Wednesday, Pulte urged US attorneys in Florida and Illinois to “authenticate and investigate” claims, according to a report by Just the News. Pulte, whose agency oversees Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Home Loan Bank, pointed to allegations that James misrepresented details to her home insurer.
The referral follows an earlier letter sent last April to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Todd Blanche for claims that James “falsified bank documents and property records to acquire government-backed assistance and loans and more favorable loan terms.” James allegedly classified a Norfolk, Virginia, home as her primary residence despite being required to maintain residency in New York.
Pulte’s letter to the Southern District of Florida cites an application for home insurance submitted to Universal Property Insurance, in which James allegedly indicated the Virginia property would be unoccupied for five months of the year. However, testimony by James’ niece revealed that she had lived in the home for years while wanted in North Carolina for not completing her probation.
