Herr Miller meant to say small peeniary authority. He doesn't know what the other is.

PMS Pam Bondi is incredibly disrespectful to all Dem senators throughout this hearing.
Bondi to Sen. Blumenthal: "I'm a career prosecutor. Don't you ever challenge my integrity. I have abided by every ethics standards. Do not question my ability to be fair and impartial as Attorney General."

I hope she is charging by the subject area she is refusing to answer about. And i hope it's more than 25 G's as this point in time, too. A girl's gotta live, right?

The subhed here is a master class in corporate journalism rewarding malfeasance via semantics

Bondi didn't valiantly fend something off, she refused to answer legitimate questions before Congress because the answers would be horrifying and politically inconvenient

And that's a profile in cowardice

Tomorrow the Epstein survivors will storm Capitol Hill to demand release of the files. I hope new Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva is sworn in at their press conference by another judge or official who is authorized to do so (doesn’t have to be the Speaker).

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.

That’s why rather defining oneself as an activist protestor resistor antifa antifascis, even if true, we’re better off simply referring to ourselves as Americans. It’s the best imagery to define us. And also be brutally honest who we are up against, traitors sexual abusers child rapists nazis et al

I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it.

His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns.

This is now very obvious.
