“When you have an agency that has gone rogue and is interfering at the highest level of the country to affect an election … and the directors of those agencies are willing to alter or leak documents that they shouldn’t … or lie under oath to federal investigators, or lie to a committee by claiming amnesia … and they oversee a bureau that will wipe clean phone records that are under subpoena … or they will not prosecute one person, but they will [prosecute] another … then it’s institutionalized. And you’ve got to get rid of it. I think you do.” ~ Victor Davis Hanson
Mmmmm … The problem with the swamp is that there’s no longer any effective congressional oversight of its operation, having now somehow morphed into “omnibus can’t stop bills” that fund the entire US government to the tune of $4-8T-and rising daily per-year that are directed by three people – ie President; Speaker; and to a lesser extent, the Senate leader. The swamp no longer fears getting de-funded by some lame committee head, since all they’ve got to do is appease 3 people; which is why they can refuse to answer questions.
Why should they? What will Congress do? Absolutely nothing, zero, Nada, which is why they’re totally and completely out of control. Just in case you missed it, the current FBI budget is $10.8 billion, and to put that in perspective, we just “upped” the Ukraine by four times the budget of the FBI. And what did we get back? Zippo. Zilch. Nada.
One proposal could be that the FBI pay for this Ukrainian donation by resigning en-block. Next up? DOJ, HHS and all the other monied malcontents – hopefully there’s a way out to pay for the politicians laundering their money somehow, but don’t hold your breath.
In a very meaningful way, “a Pence for your thoughts” is a Judas Goat, leading the sheep to slaughter, while its own life is spared. Pence has long been a sanctimonious, hypocritical “Christian.” One wonders what his real role was in the Trump administration.
Example December 2017: “Vice President Mike Pence told CBS News’ Margaret Brennan that he knew former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn had lied to him about his contacts with the Russians when Flynn was fired in February. ‘What I can tell you is I knew he lied to me, and I know the president made the right decision with regard to him.'” Pence added that the administration was “fully cooperating” with the Russia probe, “and we’ll continue to.” ~ CBS News 12/22/17
Now, after all that has come out about the FBI and the Russian hoax, “a Pence for your thoughts” continues to defend the FBI even though they undermined his president and the administration. That’s exactly where his loyalty lies and has been since the beginning – the Judas Goat.

The former vice president equates critics of the FBI with those who seek de-funding of the police.
The FBI raid on the residence of former President Donald Trump drew fire from liberals such as Alan Dershowitz, who called out the “weaponizing of the justice system.” By contrast, former Vice President Mike Pence reserved his wrath for those who criticize the FBI.
“These attacks on the FBI must stop,” Pence said on August 17. “Calls to defund the FBI are just as wrong as calls to defund the police.” That equation invites a review of FBI performance at its duly appointed tasks.
“We protect the American people and uphold the U.S. Constitution,” proclaims the FBI website. On the protection side, the American people might look back at September 11, 2001.
In May 2001, according to “The 9/11 Commission Report: Final Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks upon the United States,” FBI counterterrorism boss Dale Watson had only two people looking at threats from Osama bin Laden and his organization. FBI assessments of the potential use of flight training by terrorists and warnings of “radical Middle Easterners attending flight school,” were never passed along to the Federal Aviation Administration.

[+] … In 2009, American-born Muslim Major Nidal Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, was communicating with al-Qaeda terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki about killing Americans. As Lessons from Fort Hood explains, the FBI was monitoring Hasan’s communications, but the bureau’s Washington office did not “assess Hasan to be involved in terrorist activities.” … In 2011, Russian intelligence warned the FBI about Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. But in 2013, the FBI failed to stop the brothers from bombing the Boston Marathon … The FBI failed to stop Islamic terrorists Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik from murdering 14 people and wounding more than 20 others in San Bernardino, California, on December 2, 2015. As in Boston, the FBI played no role in the takedown of the terrorists … In 2016, the FBI failed to protect the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida from Omar Mateen. The Islamic State supporter killed 49 people and wounded more than 50 others. The FBI had questioned Mateen in 2013 but closed the inquiry, … In 2020, Antifa and Black Lives Matter launched riots that claimed 35 lives, injured hundreds of police officers, and caused $2 billion in property damage in the course of 100 days. The FBI did nothing to prevent the “peaceful protesters” from taking over part of central Seattle … [-]
[+] … FBI boss Christopher Wray is all-in with the idea that anyone less than worshipful of Joe Biden is a violent extremist and domestic terrorist. The bureau raids the home of Donald Trump, ripping off his passports and rummaging through Melania’s clothes, yet Mike Pence has a beef with those who “attack” the FBI by lawful budgetary means? Embattled Americans may be forgiven for thinking that Pence is just as wrong as those who remain uncritical of the FBI.
The former vice president, a devout Christian, did not publicly cite Bible verses against the FBI critics. The targets of current FBI operations, on the other hand, have grounds to ponder Matthew 10:36: “A man’s foes shall be they of his own household.”
A former president’s foes include the man who ran who ran at his side, and prominent members of his own party. The most formidable foes of the American people are the agencies of their own government. None is a more clear and present danger than the Federal Bureau of Investigation. [end]

“A Pence for your thoughts” now hits us for protesting the political weaponizing of the Justice Department and its odious gestapo, the FBI. General Garland’s attack arm, the “Bureau” is the group that “Shock-and-Awed” President Trump recently at his home. They were fishing for anything to jump-start the “Kooky Kangaroo Kourt” hearings presided over by Liz Cheney as she attempts to make the case justifying the arrest and indefinite confinement of President Donald John Trump and his advisors.
We used to be told that open borders which invite-in masses of illegal aliens was good for us because those aliens “do the jobs that Americans won’t do.” That was a line used by George W. Bush, the guy who equated the Patriots protesting the theft of the ’20 “election” with the Muslim fanatics who killed thousands on 9/11. That guy !
What these Republicans don’t realize is when they’re in power, these very organizations they defend now will go after them. If the head of the fish is rotten, the whole fish is rotten, certifying the fact that “a Pence for your thoughts” is woefully not ready for the battle surrounding this country to save the Constitution. Pence remember, was the point man on COVID… Need we say more ?!
And on that note, time for today’s MAGA Pill – Warrior-President Donald John Trump – MAGA! KAG!
