Defund the FBI

I am an independent conservative. Although I have voted each year, I haven’t become involved in politics beyond that. I rarely contribute to politicians’ campaigns and when I have, I have been deeply disappointed in their actions once elected.

That said, should he elect to run again, I will do everything I can to get President Trump re-elected. Just now our Injustice Department (DOJ) led by Merrick Garland, a hack who almost became a Supreme Court Justice (compare that incompetent mumbling fool to the three outstanding legal scholars whom President Trump appointed) authorized a raid on President Trumps Mara Lago home. Christopher Wray leading the Federal Bureau of Republican Inquisition (FBI) ordered his agents to carry out the raid on the former Presidents home and locked safe in Florida. We are all in danger of Democrats using their loyal misguided federal bureaucracy to crush any opposition and must fight to unseat all Democrats and fire as many Washington bureaucrats as possible.

The FBI is corrupt and should be defunded with the firing of its leadership and any agents who participated in Democrat directed shenanigans since 2016.

“Just following orders” didn’t work at Nuremberg and shouldn’t work in Washington D.C. All career lawyers at the Department of Justice should be reviewed and any who have used political bias rather than justice as their guide summarily dismissed. All without pensions.

And to Republicans, should you take the House and Senate, you better do the bidding of the people who elect you. We the People have had enough, enough corruption, enough of politicians lying and enough of obeing told how evil White America is.

And now I must prepare for my audit by one of the 80,000 new IRS agents on whose list I will soon be inscribed.

Daines’ voting record

I have wondered just how stupid Sen. Steve Daines and many of the puppet Republican senators think the American electorate is in their refusal to explain their positions on their voting records. I am now convinced that he knows just how stupid his backers are.

To think that his response to opposing the measure to codify same sex marriage and interracial marriage, and his response to protecting the right for women to obtain contraceptives was just a political move by the Democrats to deflect the public opinion from other issues is such an affront to any thinking citizen that Daines should be ashamed of himself. His canned response refused to address the issue.

And any voter who can think of voting for him should be equally ashamed. Again, the Republicans in Washington ignore the real concerns of those they represent and refuse to back even legislation that is favored by huge majorities of the electorate.

Daines’ voting record along with that of Rosendale in the House as well as the Montana Republican Party platform should send shivers down the spine of anyone who cares about personal freedom. The official position of the Montana Republican Party is to oppose abortion in all cases, no exceptions for rape, incest or to save the life of the mother. For anyone out there who liked the Taliban and its thinking, you’ll love the new Republican Party.
