Even before we knew the targeted killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson by Luigi Mangione was politically motivated, many leftists were justifying, celebrating and rationalizing the shooting. There's a real debate going on in some quarters of the progressive Left over whether slaying CEOs is a bad thing. And it's unsurprising. Of course, if any MAGA professors or journalists were online publicly defending the killing of perceived political enemies, there would be thousands of wringing hands lamenting the menacing rhetoric of conservatism. And rightly so. ... . None of this is to maintain there isn't right-wing violence. Of course, there is. It's simply to say that we should acknowledge that a lot of our contemporary political violence emanates from the Left. And a lot of it is girded by the hard-left progressive turn in mainstream America's politics
The Biden administration is less than two months from its end, which cannot come soon enough. As a final insult to his staunchest defenders, those who long insisted he was a paragon of decency, President Joe Biden pardoned his convicted felon and all-around wastrel son Hunter. A more appropriate final chapter to his tenure, one cannot imagine. The "official" rankings of professional historians will likely be kinder to Biden than he deserves. But that merely reflects the prejudices of the academic guild " it is partial to presidents who expand executive authority and grow the federal government, both of which Biden did. And look for post-presidential encomia to Biden from the usual midwits in the press and opinion magazines, who will dutifully explain that the man did his level best and that it was the country that let him down.
Wow. This is not a brief clip. It's 1:21 of Biden napping during a summit.
Beneath the folds of each of our two political parties, a hidden party struggles to emerge. It's not the woke Democratic Party of open borders and Saint Jussie Smollett, and it's not the Make America Great Again GOP of the January 6 rioters and Matt Gaetz. It's the Make America Normal Again party. MANA
... The transformation of the FBI back into a J. Edgar Hoover-style domestic spy service with sweeping political ambition has been a long-developing story, obscured by a political anomaly. In the first phase of this nightmare, between 2001 and 2016, the post-9/11 Bureau used the pretext of an enhanced counterintelligence mandate to throw off some mild restraints that had been placed on it the last time it had to be slapped down, i.e. after the Church Committee hearings in the 1970s. The second phase of its transformation took place after the election of Donald Trump, when the Bureau remade itself on the fly as a kind of government-in-exile, empowered by an outpouring of public and media support to view itself as a counterweight to the Trump government.

Just look for the most laughably disingenuous but attempting to be serious title you can find on the back page.
That's it.

Your faux rage is so one sided ... ..you are no independent/moderate. Nothing wrong with that other than you being dishonest.
