Streets of Philadelphia

Old Joe said yesterday that the US has "zero inflation".  I guess that negates the need for his massive tax and spend "Inflation Reduction Act."  Way to go Brandon.  Return all that money to the tax payers since it is not needed.  Then off to the beach with Hunter.

The next island that Hunter vacations on at tax payer expense should be Alcatraz.  Plenty of fresh air.  He and Avenatti can take up knitting to pass the time.

The FBI and DOJ can't comment on the Trump raid but has started leaking alleged details to the press.  For this raid, they not only used 30 or so agents but also had air and sea forces.  As though someone was going to row away from Trump's estate in a boat to escape.  Meanwhile crime and drugs are rampant across the country with no agent to be seen.

This would humorous under less serious circumstances, but Roger Stone indicated that in addition to seventeen armored cars and a tactical assault team with automatic weapons that the FBI's predawn raid on his home included "frogmen."  He apparently had a pool or something in his backyard and the FBI sent frogmen to ensure he didn't escape by swimming away.  An elderly man with no history of violence for whom they were arresting for an alleged process crime.  Completely staged for publicity and political impact.  They leaked notice of the raid to CNN to be present to film the event.  A disgusting abuse of the legal process for political purposes. 

Now DOJ has themselves in another bind over the Trump raid.  GSA packed the documents in question, the Trump folks were working with the National Archives to correct any errors made by GSA, the NA sent a letter confirming such cooperation, but when the "Jan. 6" hearings were a complete bust tremendous pressure was put on Garland to "do something" to stop Trump from running.  He panicked and authorized this bizarre raid that has now galvanized Trump's somewhat flagging support.  All but ensuring a Trump 2024 run.

The FBI sinks deeper and deeper as the facts come to light on the Trump raid.  They found a "magistrate" (and long time Dem) to approve the warrant on Aug. 5 but then waited several days to execute it!  Demonstrating beyond any doubt that there was no urgency or need to expedite a raid due to fear of documents being destroyed.  Instead they waited days and then staged an armed air, land, and sea raid.  Unreal.  In any other situation, they would issue a subpoena or motion to compel instead of a massive predawn raid.  The raid was made due to the political pressure on Garland following the failure of the "Jan. 6" investigation.  There was no reasonable legal basis - as Garland himself bizarrely explained - to raid a former president's home in the most heavy handed manner.   The leftist media is making a lot of noise about the documents found as though Trump packed those.  There are such documents in the presidential library of every president.  This is Russian collusion all over again.  Facts are leaked by the FBI, they turn out not to be true or completely false, and the story eventually disappears from the headlines over months (but only after maximizing the political harm to Trump from yet another fake story).

The outrage over the FBI raid on Trump has resulted in a flood of new contributions to Trump's 2024 campaign.  Way to go Brandon!  Make sure to use that sun screen at the beach this week.  And don't work too hard.

Disgraced "Tubin" Toobin is leaving CNN!  They are starting to clean house due to their dismal ratings and spiral into effectively a state sponsored media outlet like in Russia or Chian.  Better late than never.  The hall of broadcasting shame at CNN grows longer and longer.

Hunter continues to vacation at taxpayer expense.  What a charmed life.  A guy with no apparent skills or talents who has done nothing other than smoke crack and abuse women, but he flies to the beach on Air Force One.   Meanwhile, DOJ is in a complete panic over the raid on Trump.  "Classified" documents - LOL.  Trump declassified all these documents.  As President, he had complete and total authority to do so.  He had a standing order to declassify such documents and the legal definition is ambiguous at best.   It's another fake story that will eventually unravel.  Garland panicked after the "Jan. 6" show trial went nowhere.  He was under tremendous political pressure from the radicals to "do something" to stop Trump.  Some Trump hater in the DOJ/FBI concocted this terrible idea to appease those political interests.  It has completely backfired galvanizing support for Trump like almost nothing else.   What it does tell us is that DOJ and fake Jan. 6 committee couldn't come up with anything or they would not be staging this reckless hail Mary effort to find something.  Trump has done it again.  Despite the combined forces of the corrupt political establishment, state media, and weaponized justice system, they can't find a single thing.  No other person in history could have withstood this effort.
