"Of, by and for" the people, IC's are too powerful, Niger falls, Cohen intimidates, Joe's Sheetz and Noem rocks

On today’s show, I open with a concept that I think we all succumb to and that’s expecting perfection from our elected representatives. Worse, our politicians know that any flaw of theirs is an opening for the Legacy/mainstream media to use as cudgel to go after them. It’s so strange that we are supposed to be a government “of, by and for” the people and yet we want to immediately crucify anyone who acts like a normal person with normal flaws and inadequacies.

I spend a good bit of time laying the groundwork for my opening subject, which is the sudden policy shift of Speaker Mike Johnson. He says his views changed after a confidential briefing in the House SCIF. While that may be the case, I sense something much darker and more insidious at work. What if the already out-of-control Intelligence Community showed Speaker Johnson they had the ability to gather anything the wanted on him to leak to the press and set him up for public humiliation and ridicule? What if it was about information they gathered on his son? Is it too far to believe the current weaponized agencies in the Executive Branch would use blackmail as a technique to control our elected representatives?

The next story, which has been buried, and I think intentionally, was another 9-0 unanimous ruling from the Supreme Court of the United States. The US Supreme Court's ruling that a St. Louis police sergeant can sue over a job transfer she claims was discriminatory, lays the foundation for legal action against employers who push discrimination against white people in job hiring, work assignment and promotion. In other words, is this the pebble that starts the avalanche that ends the practice of DEI in this country?

We have yet another under-reported story from Niger regarding a military base we are being told to abandon by a group of armed insurgents we actually trained. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, just a year ago, said Niger was going to be an example to all of the surrounding countries of the democratic policies that can be established with help from the United States. Now, just a year later, we are once again being told to retreat and abandon our air base. This seems awfully familiar. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) questioned two of the highest ranking members over this operation and neither seemed to know or wanted to admit they knew the failure it had become.

While Donald Trump has a gag on him, star witness for Alvin Bragg, Michael Cohen, who is a habitual liar and criminal, did his own jury tampering online. He posted a video with a veiled threat to jurors on the trial.

Biden’s weaponized DOJ is suing the Sheetz chain of service stations for discriminatory hiring practices. What did they do to fall under this lawsuit? They apparently refuse to hire anyone who has been previously arrested and served time in jail for breaking the law. Yes, you heard that correctly. The Biden regime is going after a company because they did background checks and chose to not take the risk on employing former convicts.

Finally, Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) was on CNN’s State of the Union with Dana Bash talking about the Trump case in NYC. Bash tried to insert her own political commentary into the conversation and Noem, with grace and ease, eviscerated Bash for even trying to bring in her political nonsense.
