"It is the very nature of power that it attracts the very sort of people who should not have it. The United States, as the world's last superpower, is a prize that attracts men and women willing to do anything to win that power, and hence are willing to do anything with it once they have it. It is racist to assume that tyrants appear only in other nations and that somehow America is immune simply because we're Americans. America has escaped the clutches of a dictatorship only through the efforts of those citizens who, unlike the Germans and Russians of the 1930s, have the moral courage to stand up and point out where the government is lying to the people." -- Michael Rivero

A majority of voters believe President Joe Biden has a conflict of interest when responding to aggressive actions by China, according to a recent poll.

Of 1,082 respondents, 57.2% believe the Biden family’s personal business interests with China create a conflict of interest for the country when responding to Chinese aggression, according to a Conventions of States Action/ Trafalgar poll released Friday. Going forward, 57.6% of respondents believe the Biden administration should be more aggressive in leading a global coalition to contain China.

“This poll shows that Americans are rightly concerned about China’s aggressive actions towards the U.S. and want to see leadership from President Biden,” Convention of States President Mark Meckler said in a release. “But we are at an alarming and dangerous place when the majority of Americans believe Biden’s hesitations to address the threat from Communist China is the result of jeopardizing his family’s business dealings.”

Drawing attention to the testimony of FBI Director Christopher Wray in his responses to Representative Darin LaHood.

Representative LaHood is leading an internal congressional review of the FISA “702” reauthorization.  During the testimony, LaHood waxes philosophically about the importance of FISA-702 targeting as a tool for the FBI while simultaneously outlining how the FBI is weaponizing the tool.  At 06:24 of the video below, LaHood goes on to outline the details of the NSA noncompliance report showing how the FBI intentionally targeted him, likely because he is leading the 702 reauthorization group.

The irony here is thick.  The FBI illegally uses 702 search queries, and in the example of LaHood, it is demonstrable targeting because the search query was only for his name, so there can be no claim of “inadvertent” search result.  Simultaneously, FBI Director Chris Wray states the number of illegal FBI searches of the database is 84% improved year-over-year. In essence, the FBI is saying they are breaking the law 84% fewer times.

Republican Florida Gov. Ron Desantis’ office put out a not safe for work video about some of the pornographic books currently on the shelves of schoolhouses throughout the state.

The Governor’s office called this an “Exposing the Book Ban Hoax” press conference, and they dove right into the fact that many objectionable books are currently in the libraries at public schools in Florida.

DeSantis took about 5 minutes in the video debunking the myth that “Florida has banned books from the classroom.”. Instead, the state has taken complaints from parents about certain books that have been on the shelves in public schools seriously.

Florida has fielded those complaints and has taken appropriate action when necessary. For example, some books complained about include “Gender Queer,” which shows a girl masturbating and performing oral sex on another girl, and “Flamer,” a book about a gay boy who details some of the sexual experiences that he has.

The Daily Caller reports that the video put out by the Governor’s office starts by saying: “This is porn,” and “These books violate Florida standards and curriculum. The hoax from the left is that these books were never in Florida schools.”
