There is more to the story. Think about it for a second. The Secret Service works for the Federal Government as does the FBI. So you think the two federal agencies would be willing to get into a shoot out? The optics would be a political nightmare. No there is more to the story. It could be the equipment the FBI took is standard that they take on every raid regardless if they think they need it or not and they had no intention of using it at MAL.

That is what I thought. It was standard wording. Ron Filipkowski âTrump, the crazies, and the monetized click baiters are hyperventilating over standard search warrant language that they claim meant that DOJ/FBI planned to assassinate Trump except they knew that Trump and Secret Service werenât there. But donât let me interrupt the crazy.â Art CandeeâŠ.. âTheyâve lost it entirely. The DOJ, FBI, and local police allow for lethal force if theyâre in danger. đâ x.com/artcandee/status/1793073600100221306?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nw

Oklahoma continues to disappoint: "New criteria for Oklahoma textbooks asks for âtraditionalâ gender roles, reverence for religion"This is the same state where Nex was bullied and died because of other policies and things this Superintendent has said. Highlights from this article: The added section asks a series of questions, such as whether submitted materials undermine the principles and effectiveness of the free enterprise system, if they promote sexual behavior, if they play down the importance of the family as the core of American society, or if they condone civil disorder and social strife.The Superintendent said "I told Oklahomans weâre going to get indoctrination out of our schools,â he said in response to news reports of the departing publishers. âWe made it very clear to any textbook company that if you put critical race theory; diversity, equity and inclusion; and this radical sexual gender theory in your textbooks, youâre not going to have a contract in the state of Oklahoma.âIn other words: "no woke indoctrination" but good ol' religious indoctrination is aces.

Mike Johnson on House set to hold vote on contempt of Congress against AG Garland:
âNot about politics ... The purpose of getting the audio tapes of the Biden interview is because the committees have to do their legislative work. ... I think it will pass the House handily.â
Exactly how is getting the audio, when they have the written transcript, is doing âlegislativeâ work?

âMoskowitz: I have disagree with Ms. Crockett who claimed this is the least productive congress in modern history.
First of all, this Congress:
removed its Speaker
took 15 rounds to elect its speaker
removed a member of their party
had a failed impeachment of a President
impeached a secretary without a constitutional threshold
wants to hold Garland in contempt and possibly arrest him
had a failed motion to vacate to remove a second Speaker
saved gas stoves, ovens, toasters, blenders, dishwashers from the communist grip of energy standardsâ

Liz Cheney speaks out again.. A furious former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WI) Wednesday slammed House Republicans for "blindly" following former President Donald Trump after he spread a debunked conspiracy theory she warned could provoke violence. Cheney took to X Wednesday afternoon to condemn Trump for spreading the conspiracy theory that President Joe Biden had planned to assassinate him â a claim repeatedly debunked by political experts and Federal Bureau of Investigation officials. Donald Trump is unstable and dangerous," Cheney wrote. "He knows this is a lie that could again provoke violence from those who blindly follow him." Cheney's next comment was directed at House Republicans â who the same day moved to strike from the record a Democrat's summary of the many criminal charges facing the former president. "You know Trump is unfit," Cheney wrote. "When will you put aside your cowardice and stand up for what you know is right?" x.com/sandiechill/status/1793342047379935714www.rawstory.com/liz-cheney-trump-2668351910/

Trump misrepresented what actually happened and falsely claimed the Biden administration was "locked and loaded" to kill him. Trump distorted standard Justice department policy and left out important details and context. In addition, Trump wasn't even there when the search was conducted, he was out of town. www.nytimes.com/2024/05/22/us/politics/trump-classified-documents-case-search.htmlFormer President Donald J. Trump accused the Biden administration on Tuesday of having been prepared to kill him during a 2022 search for classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, his private club and residence in Palm Beach, Fla., making the false claim that President Biden was âlocked & loadedâ in a fund-raising email.
The claim relied on a misrepresentation of a standard Justice Department policy on the use of deadly force in its operations.
WHAT WAS SAID âBIDENâS DOJ WAS AUTHORIZED TO SHOOT ME! Itâs just been revealed that Bidenâs DOJ was authorized to use DEADLY FORCE for their DESPICABLE raid in Mar-a-Lago. You know theyâre just itching to do the unthinkable ⊠Joe Biden was locked & loaded ready to take me out & put my family in danger.â
â Mr. Trump, in a fund-raising email
This is misleading.
Mr. Trump was referring to a document that was made public Tuesday in a court filing in the criminal case regarding his handling of classified materials.
The document, on Page 11 of an evidentiary exhibit, described the F.B.I.âs plans for its court-authorized search in August 2022, and included a standard statement from the Justice Departmentâs policy on the use of deadly force. The F.B.I. is an agency of the Justice Department.
That statement says deadly force is allowed âonly when necessary, that is, when the officer has a reasonable belief that the subject of such force poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the officer or to another person.â It specifies that such force is not permissible to prevent a person from fleeing, to disable a moving vehicle or to stop someone who poses a threat only to themselves or to property.
âThe F.B.I. followed standard protocol in this search, as we do for all search warrants, which includes a standard policy statement limiting the use of deadly force,â the F.B.I. said in a statement. âNo one ordered additional steps to be taken, and there was no departure from the norm in this matter.â
The F.B.I. conducted the search on a day when Mr. Trump was out of town and the club at Mar-a-Lago was closed. A former assistant F.B.I. director, Steven DâAntuono, testified to a House committee last June that, before the search, the bureau had communicated with the Secret Service âto make sure we could get into Mar-a-Lago with no issues,â and that everyone involved had agreed to avoid âa show of force.â

Not surprisingly, Trump and Republicans are lying about the FBI plans for the search warrant. flat out lieCNNâs Tom Foreman on the "Biden tried to assassinate Trump" nonsense:
âItâs absolutely not true. Nonetheless, Donald Trump is trying to raise funds off of it...They followed standard protocol....for Trumpworld to claim that this was something else is just a flat out lie."

flat out lying Joe Walsh @walshfreedom Maybe some are âmisconstruing.â But Trump & most of them are just flat out lying.
Kyle Griffin. @kylegriffin1 Trump and Republicans are misconstruing standard operating procedure at the FBI to claim the Biden admin tried to assassinate Trump during a 2022 Mar-a-Lago search for classified documents.
In a rare statement, the FBI makes clear: "The FBI followed standard protocol in this search as we do for all search warrants, which includes a standard policy statement limiting the use of deadly force. No one ordered additional steps to be taken and there was no departure from the norm in this matter."www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/gop-lawmakers-conflate-fbi-policy-trump-assassination-attempt-rcna153413GOP lawmakers conflate standard FBI policies with an assassination attempt on Trump The online remarks from two Trump allies came after the former president posted about the FBI's search of his Mar-a-Lago resort in 2022.

Seems Speaker Johnson and some others have the 'appeal to heaven' flag in or outside their offices. They are politicians, but not sure I agree it is ok but... House Speaker Mike Johnson's office doorway has three flags displayed. They are the Stars and Stripes, the Louisiana state flag and an âAppeal to Heavenâ flag," according to Aaron Fritschner, who included a photograph purportedly capturing the flag hoisted at Johnson's office. And he claimed that Rep. Chip Roy's office also included the same flag. www.rawstory.com/alito-new-flag-scandal-pine-tree/

Just what we needed... A Democrat arranged the AI robo call of Biden in NH! The Democratic consultant behind a controversial New Hampshire ad that used the "deep-faked" voice of President Joe Biden telling people not to show up to vote in the primary has been indicted on state charges. According to NBC News, the consultant, Steve Kramer, "faces five counts, including bribery, intimidation and suppression, according to Manchester TV station WMUR, which first reported the indictment. It is unclear how he is pleading to the charges." The robocall, which was first reported by NBC News and went out to thousands of New Hampshire voters in January, just ahead of the state's first-in-the-nation presidential primary, used artificial intelligence technology to deepfake the president, telling voters to stay home and 'save' their votes for the November general election," reported Alex Seitz-Wald. "The call was the first known example of a deepfake used in national American politics. It prompted outcry from officials and watch dogs, propelling the Federal Communications Commission to put forward a new rule banning unsolicited AI robocalls." www.rawstory.com/biden-deepfake-consultant-indicted/

A reminder of potential election consequencesâŠ
No Lie with Brian Tyler CohenâŠ.
âClarence Thomas is 75. Samuel Alito is 74. Roberts and Sotomayor are 69. If Trump wins in November, he is virtually guaranteed to appoint replacements for 2 of these justices, if not more.
On the ballot this November is the Supreme Court majority for the rest of our lives. Biden may not be your favorite choice, but the alternative - Trump - means the Court is untouchable for decades. That'll have massive implications for abortion protections, contraception protections, fair map protections, democracy protections. If we want any hope of rebalancing this dangerous imbalance (wherein insurrection sympathizers are literally ruling on cases related TO THE INSURRECTION), November is our one and only shot.â

Like I said there is always more to the story. Of course you arenât going to believe what Garland said because it doesnât fit your chosen narrative. Kyle Griffin⊠âAG Garland rejects the Trump claim that Biden tried to assassinate him during the Mar-a-Lago raid: "That allegation is false and it is extremely dangerous. The document that is being referred to in the allegation is a Justice Department standard policy limiting the use of force. As the FBI advises, it is part of a standard operations plan for searches and in fact it was even used in the consensual search of President Biden's home."

There are too many âconsequences â for there not to be something there. The question is what.
From the idiots truth socialâŠ
âEvan Gershkovich, the Reporter from The Wall Street Journal, who is being held by Russia, will be released almost immediately after the Election, but definitely before I assume Office.

TFG received a rousing 'Bronx cheer' tonight as he approached and appeared at his rally. The officer informed her partner of a report she received from the NYPD's aviation team, whose helicopters could be seen hovering over Trump's presidential rally. The news: Aviation estimated about 3,500 people were at the MAGA rally. Replied her partner, with surprise "That's it?"The crowds who gathered in the park were not limited to Trump supporters but included large groups of protesters who expressed outrage at the former resident protesting in their borough.How many people frequent Trump rallies is a point of contention often thrown into doubt. The actual number of supporters who filed into a recent rally in New Jersey was initially reported to be up to 100,000 people, but a later investigation put the number in the thousands instead of the tens or hundreds of thousands. www.rawstory.com/trump-bronx-rally-2668367553/
