One of the wildest pro football games
ever. As all-pro
cornerback Patrick Peterson said at halftime with the Vikings down 33-0, “All
we need is 5 touchdowns.” Maybe the greatest comeback in NFL history. Watch the
8 minute clip.

Biden’s
cure for inflation? Hire more Dreamers. Really, Joe? This is what passes
for sanity in your administration? Never in our history have we had a president
more worthy of being impeached.

You
expected something different? Congress up to old pork barrel tricks. Rep. Dan Bishop of North Carolina is
shedding light on
just what a disaster this omnibus bill is. Any Republican Senator who votes for
it should be fired. Kimberly Strassel called it “one of the ugliest, least
transparent bits of lawmaking I’ve ever seen.”

I
know you won’t be able to unsee this, and for that I apologize. Knowing
the careful vetting process the Biden administration uses for selecting their
senior appointments gives me a great feeling of confidence.

The New York Post originally broke
this story which the
FBI and Social Media sites frantically tried to cover up, interfering with an
election and, quite probably, altering the likely outcome.
Similarly, the trusted
media that drove the Watergate process to its rightful conclusion no longer
exists in Washington. The virtual coverage blackout on Musk’s Twitter Files
release is the latest in a long line of evidence that today’s largest
newspapers and TV outlets are in the tank for Democrats.
So what if the FBI violated the First Amendment rights of
ordinary Americans? So what if the bureau was part of a conspiracy with
intelligence officials to label the Biden laptop disinformation when it knew
otherwise?
Generations of fair journalists, seeing themselves as
patriots first, would have grabbed this huge, complicated story with both
hands. Today, the evidence of FBI interference in an election is met with a
media shrug because a shared objective was achieved: removing Trump.
Finally, consider this possibility: Because it has had
the laptop and who knows what other sources and information, the FBI has known
all along that Joe Biden is a corrupt president who is compromised in his
dealings with China and America’s other adversaries.
If true, there are
two implications.
We have in Biden, as John Dean famously said about Nixon,
“a cancer on the presidency.”
We also have an FBI that has returned to the ethos of J.
Edgar Hoover. He kept his job for nearly five decades by keeping files of dirt
on presidents, senators, members of Congress, the media and many prominent
private citizens, such as Martin Luther King Jr.
Because of inevitable damage to our country, I would be
happy to be wrong about the rough road ahead. Unfortunately, I fear the
worst-case scenario is true.

I’m
getting the feeling watching the FBI go on the defensive that the level of flop sweat on the
executive floor of the HQ building is rising. My advice to them is the same
advice Vinnie Gambini gave the FBI automotive expert. “Come on, you can say it. They know”. Great response on Twitter. LOL.

If
hard-core criminals will roll over on associates for better sentences, it was
pretty much a given that the others at FTX would be happy to throw Sam
Bankman-Fried under the bus. The SEC has charged his ex-girlfriend and CEO of Alameda
Research along with Chief Technology Officer of FTX Trading, Zixiao (Gary)
Wang.
·
Meanwhile,
Mr. Bankman-Fried has arrived back in
the U.S. His
reception committee is a little different than when he came doling out cash to
Democrats and Auntie Maxine blew him kisses in the Capitol.

Can
you even imagine how totally shallow you would have to be to compare Zelensky’s
visit to Washington to Winston Churchill’s visit in 1941. Nancy Pelosi is absolutely
execrable.
