When We are Neutral Amid Injustice

Gaza: L. Wilkerson, Graham Fuller, I. Bishop Tutu: “If you’re neutral amid injustice you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has a foot on the tail of a mouse & you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality”

Gabbard Through Despite Sabotage Attempt

Gabbard nomination sent forward in 9 to 8 vote, despite WashPost/Deep State last-ditch attempt to sabotage it. High irony in attempt to smear Gabbard and Ted Postol for getting it right on sarin attacks blamed on Assad. MICIMATT also discussed (with song).

The Sad State of the FBI

Coleen Rowley, fmr FBI Division Counsel & Special Agent, gives Judge Napolitano inside look into politicized/bureaucratically hidebound FBI – a far cry from what she joined in 1981. Will Senate seize chance to fix it at nom. hearing on Kash Patel TOMORROW?
