Perverts, Tramps And Thieves

WE all know just how screwed up the Donny group is and just how much of a pack of idiots but the requirements to be an FBI agent use to be strict and above board….that has changed….

The FBI has quietly stripped prostitution, bestiality and employer theft from the list of offenses that once ended a job application on the spot.

The revised standards reached the personnel who run background checks through a June 16 internal memo known as an electronic communication, according to CBS News. A candidate who paid for sex can now stay in contention as long as the conduct happened fewer than three times and fell outside the previous decade.

Theft from an employer no longer triggers automatic rejection once three years have passed, CBS News reported. Acts of bestiality or animal cruelty may be excused if they occurred before the applicant turned 18.

One carve-out survived the loosening. Applicants who solicited sex while holding a position of trust still face automatic disqualification, a category that covers public safety, education, health, social work, finance and law, according to CBS News.

The bureau rejected any suggestion that it had opened its doors to criminals. “It is false to suggest criminal behavior like this is no longer disqualifying at the FBI. Any applicant who has engaged in criminal sexual acts like those referenced would of course not be eligible for employment, and it is ridiculous to suggest otherwise,” the FBI said in a statement reported by the Associated Press (AP). The bureau tied the change to service members and others who may have paid for sex where it was legal.

The relaxed rules arrived as the bureau bled personnel. Former FBI analyst Philip Fields counted 1,139 special agents gone in 2025, according to CBS News. The agency employs roughly 13,700 agents.

Critics read the move as evidence of a thin recruiting field. “If they’re moving the bar for sexual encounters to include prostitution, what is that saying about the applicant pool,” said Daniel Brunner, a retired agent of two decades, in comments reported by the AP.

The changes follow a run of eased requirements under FBI Director Kash Patel. Reuters reported in February that Patel planned to drop a panel interview and a writing test for staff seeking agent roles. A 2015 memo from then-Attorney General Eric Holder barring the solicitation of prostitution remains in force, according to the AP.

So now the nation’s top law enforcement agency can be staffed with perverts and sexual deviants….go figure.

I mean the admin is full with like personnel so why not the FBI?

So if for some reason the FBI shows up at your home….hide your pets.

Pushing Genocide

The events in Gaza has brought the world to realize that it is basically a genocide against the Palestinian people perpetrated by Israel and their bloodlust and desire for more land to expand their fledgling empire.

Sadly the MSM has done little to bring the attention to this atrocity to the public.

For instance we hear about the IDF soldiers that get killed but very little about the civilians that are killed and maimed….they, the media, half ass report the actual news and use every trick in the journalistic playbook to keep us ignorant of the events the really take place….

Chris Hedges has written a piece that tears the veil away from the deceptive tactics of the media on this travesty….

The Western media manufactures consent for genocide. It normalizes Israel’s decades-long military occupation and apartheid. It erases Israel’s flagrant violations of international law. It perpetuates the fallacy of Israeli victimhood. It betrays, discredits and demonizes the work of Palestinian journalists and media workers in Gaza, at least 220 of whom have been killed by Israel between Oct. 7, 2023, and August 2025. It supinely accepts draconian Israeli censorship. It acquiesces with tepid letters of protest at Israel’s refusal to allow foreign reporters in Gaza — an effort by Israel to mask its war crimes. It amplifies Israeli lies, from beheaded babies to widespread sexual assault of Israeli women on Oct. 7, to obfuscate the truth.

When writing about Gaza, verbs are in the passive tense. There is no subject. No one is accountable. Genocide, it seems, is an act of God. No different from an earthquake or tsunami. Clichés and opaque adjectives such as the “cycle of violence” or “clashes” distort and falsify reality.

“If thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought,” George Orwell warned.

Terms such as “genocide,” “atrocity,” “ethnic cleansing” and “occupied territories” magically disappear from media reports on Palestinians, whose resistance is routinely described as “savage” and “barbaric.” New York Times reporters are instructed by editors to avoid terms such as “Palestine,” “genocide,” “carnage,” “refugee camp,” “slaughter” and “massacre,” when referencing Palestinians.

The media slavishly regurgitates what Israel feeds it. Saturation bombing becomes “surgical air strikes.” Israel’s weaponization of famine becomes a “food shortage.” The killing of unarmed civilians — including children — becomes “clashes.” The hilltop fortress-like compounds of Jewish colonists becomes “neighborhoods.” Extrajudicial assassination of a journalist or a doctor becomes “died.”

Chris Hedges: How the Media Sells Genocide

I would say that Israeli PR and money is doing a fine job whitewashing their crimes in Gaza and the West Bank.

It is pathetic how the media will do their part to protect Israel from criticism….that needs to stop and stop now.

The Long Con

I make no secret of my extreme dislike (some may call it hatred) for the Supreme Court and the political hacks that sit on it…..none more disliked than chief justice Roberts….

This judge has done more damage to this country than most are unaware of because it is not reported as it should be….

I recently read an excellent article on his long con….

There is no bigger con man in the United States than Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. Not even President Donald J. Trump.

The con began in September 2005, during Roberts’s confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Articulate, handsome, and energetic at fifty years old, Roberts seemed to have been culled “straight from central casting,” as Republican Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama actually remarked on the first day of the hearings. Roberts was also convincing—he famously promised that if confirmed, he would serve in the fashion of a baseball umpire, calling only “balls and strikes, and not to pitch or bat.” Seventy-eight Senators, including twenty-two Democrats, fell for the ploy and voted to give him the lifetime assignment.

The biggest yarn Roberts told during his hearing concerned his views on the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA), a cornerstone of American democracy, which the Supreme Court gutted this past April in a redistricting case from the state of Louisiana (Louisiana v. Callais).

As is his prerogative as Chief Justice, Roberts assigned the task of drafting the Callais majority opinion to fellow conservative Justice Samuel Alito, who responded with a 6 to 3 ruling that held that, henceforth, Section 2 of the landmark legislation would require VRA plaintiffs to meet the nearly impossible burden of proving that redistricting maps challenged as “racial gerrymanders” were created with discriminatory intent rather than for permissible political purposes. The opinion allowed Louisiana to eliminate one majority Black Congressional district. It also effectively negated legislation passed in 1982 that had amended Section 2 to permit the Justice Department and private citizens to challenge election laws that have the effect of diluting minority voting power without proving intent.

Flash back to 2005 and it is apparent that, at best, Roberts misled the judiciary committee. In response to a question from Massachusetts Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy about the VRA’s constitutionality, Roberts replied, “[T]he existing Voting Rights Act—the constitutionality has been upheld. And I don’t have any issue with that.”

The voters have had long cons played on them by politicians and we could have changed that….but we chose not to do so…..but with the Supreme Court we do not have that option and once seated they are there for life….even if they live to past one hundred…..we cannot rid ourselves of their devastating rulings.

We hear promises that reform is high on the agenda during elections and so far I have not seen shit once the elections are Over with…..have you?

I am sure we shall hear much on this issue and once the election is over nothing will materialize.

Anybody see anything differently?

Why Do Americans Hate Americans?

Over the years there is been a growing hatred for our fellow Americans….why is that?

Americans are becoming increasingly distrustful of one another, with younger generations showing the lowest levels of trust, according to new polling highlighted in a recent opinion piece published by The Hill.

“There is a dramatic decline in the level of trust of people by age groupings, with people born before 1960 the most trusting and each subsequent grouping by age less trustful than the one before,” states the survey by Marquette Law School Poll.

Trust also varies depending on the relationship. Ninety-two percent of Americans said they have at least a fair amount of trust in their immediate family, while trust drops sharply when it comes to strangers and federal elected officials.

A separate Pew Research Center study found another troubling sign of social division.

In its survey of 25 countries, 53% of American adults said the average person in the United States has bad morals and ethics. Pew said Americans were particularly likely among the countries surveyed to hold negative views about the morality of their fellow citizens.

“Younger Americans (ages 18 to 39) are slightly more likely than older adults to say other Americans are morally bad (57% vs. 50%),” read the study.

The Hill contributor Ghlionn claimed that this combination of distrust and negative perceptions could make political disagreements more hostile. Instead of seeing opponents as people with different opinions, Americans may increasingly view them as fundamentally bad or dangerous.

The Marquette researchers cautioned against blaming social media alone for the decline in trust.

Their survey found that people using five or more social media platforms were generally less trusting. However, researchers found little consistent relationship between social media use and trust when comparing people within the same age group.

The findings suggest that America’s trust problem may have deeper causes, particularly across generations. While the surveys do not establish why trust has declined, they show a clear divide in how Americans view strangers, institutions and even their fellow citizens.

(knewz.com)

It is more distrust than hate….

The polls looked at several angles for this conclusion.

I blame social media ….and then there is the morally bad thing….what does that mean?

I understand the lack of trust for if you look at what the politicians have done( that should be not done) then I understand what the poll is saying.

I am not sure I can say I know of one politician that I trust…..and I have been watching since 1980 and in that time I have watched the attitudes and decline of our elected representatives and it is getting worse instead of better.

Have you any thing to change my mind?

Get Rid Of The President and Senate

This is just another in my series of the meltdown by right wing rags with the growing popularity of DSA candidates.

The DSA recently help a meeting to discuss and implement a platform…..and once it became public knowledge the Right jumped on the call for the eliminations of the president and the elimination of the Senate.

Here is what the losers are saying…..I link it you read it…..

DSA’s new platform seeks to ‘replace’ presidency and Supreme Court, nix Electoral College

If you read that you might become panicky…but no need….

Here is what the website has to say….

we need a new political system. End political corruption and legalized bribery: get rid of lobbyists, dark money, and Citizens United, and publicly finance all elections. Abolish the Electoral College. Replace the President and Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress.

Replace the two-party system with a multi-party democracy. Expand the House of Representatives, implement proportional representation and ranked choice voting in all elections, and abolish the Senate. Good idea for the Senate is worthless…..it is where good policies go to die)

But read the whole thing for yourself….

https://program.dsausa.org/#demand-democratic-congress

Get rid of the Senate really sounds like a good idea….and I am not alone….

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/07/senate-representation-undemocratic-imbalance/688012

I will be writing more about the riddance of the Senate a bit later. But I would like to hear more on their stand on the Supreme Court.

I do not think the panic is necessary but then it is the Right and they want to spread as much fear as possible.

Do not become enthralled with the crap these slugs spread.

Harris? Seriously?

I recently read the polls for the 2028 election for president and was surprised at the results.

I appears , by this poll, that Harris leads the field of potential candidates.

Kamala Harris remains the best-positioned figure among Democrats in a potential 2028 presidential run.

The former vice president receives 28% support, exactly double that of California Governor Gavin Newsom, who registers 14%, according to The Center Square Voters’ Voice Poll.

The survey represents just an early snapshot of a hypothetical Democratic primary, with more than two years to go before the next presidential cycle.

However, the results show significant movement behind Harris, especially among Newsom, Pete Buttigieg, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Harris has been hovering around 30% support for months and has remained at the forefront of The Center Square’s measurements since October 2025.

In that survey, she reached 33%; she dropped to 31% in March, registered 27% in June, and now stands at 28% in August.

One of the most relevant data points for the Latino community is how preferences are distributed within that electorate.

Harris receives 30% support among Hispanic and Latino voters, but Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appears in second place with 17%.

The result positions AOC as a figure to watch within this group, despite being behind the main candidates in the overall result.

Ocasio-Cortez also receives 13% among voters aged 18 to 29, again as the second option behind Harris.

The former vice president’s strength among young people is much greater: 47% of registered voters aged 18 to 29 prefer her over other potential candidates.

Kamala Harris’s leadership does not extend with the same intensity to all demographic groups included in the survey.

Among voters 65 years or older, Buttigieg leads the preferences with 20%, followed by Newsom with 19%. Harris drops to 13%.

She also loses ground among those with graduate degrees: Buttigieg receives 18%, compared to Harris’s 15%.

Another difference appears when observing political identification. Harris achieves 30% among Democrats, but her support drops to 20% among left-leaning independents.

AOC, on the other hand, even surpasses Newsom among the independents included in the measurement, with 10% compared to 9%.

My thoughts on this…..first it is one poll but it does show similar results as others I have seen….second….why? She is a proven loser why would the Dems take the chance again considering the country as a whole?

I do not think at this point in our history that the country will overwhelmingly vote for a women….so why take the chance…..and the country is divided and she will bring little to the table as far as any unification goes.

This is an early snapshot and is there as a PR stunt for the corporate Dems…..will it hold up?

I think not.

Do you think she has a chance?

The D/Bags Are Watching

I sure most everyone has heard the statement “Big Brother Is Watching” and it is true.

As someone who was the target of the old COINTELPRO I can tell you that if you disagree with the government then they will find you and spy on you.

Since Donny took to the now destroyed White House there have been a wealth of spying on protesters and the groups that support them…..and it is getting worse…..

It’s time to familiarize yourselves with the names “Operation Puppet Master” and “Operation Keyhole.” If those nefarious phrases evoke to you the U.S. government’s domestic spying on leftist groups in the 1960s and 1970s, it’s for good reason. The terms are coinages of today’s Department of Homeland Security, and they’re associated with a massive covert surveillance effort that DHS unleashed earlier this year to track anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement protests in Minneapolis, where Donald Trump’s violent paramilitary invasion triggered months of intense civil conflict.

We just learned about the broad outlines of this domestic surveillance from newly released court papers related to the ongoing prosecution of a handful of protesters. As The New York Times reported, the papers show that DHS began surveilling left-leaning groups—including a union, a climate change group, and others—after ICE killed Alex Pretti in January. This has entailed seeking financial records and infiltrating protest meetings that are protected by the First Amendment.

But you can get a far more vivid picture of these undercover surveillance operations—and how brazenly they were conducted against American citizens—if you read deep into the court papers. The documents—which are attached as exhibits to a motion filed by lawyers for one of the protesters facing prosecution and are available on Pacer—include investigative reports that were transmitted by the undercover agents themselves about meetings they infiltrated.

It’s jarring, revealing stuff. The reports show that covert agents surreptitiously attended well over a dozen protest meetings organized by groups like the Sunrise Movement and various small socialist organizations. In some cases the agents secretly recorded the gatherings.

The New Genocide Deniers

Those that refuse to see the horror of a genocide have been around since WW1`, the Armenians and the Turks, and it has stuck and it will always be with us….

“Genocide deniers” have been social pariahs since World War II, and rightfully so. The term was first used to describe some fringe political figures on the fascist far right who claimed the Holocaust never occurred. It was a hoax, they insisted, and a slander against the German people. No one, especially no one with liberal views, would have considered joining them as they denied the reality and horror of 20^th-century genocide.

The new genocide deniers are a very different breed. They often see themselves as tolerant, open-minded, and liberal. On some issues, they often are. But their reaction to Israel’s violence against Gaza, the 21^st century’s most visible genocide, is to dismiss its true nature with the wave of a hand.

The most visible of the new genocide deniers lately has been former pop star Boy George, whose song, “We Will Dance Again,” earned wide publicity for lyrics such as, “You say genocide, I say war/When you’re attacked, that’s what the army’s for.”

(I confess I haven’t listened to the song, nor do I intend to. That’s not based on any moral objections, but on the widely-reported fact that the music was generated with AI. My psyche has been polluted enough by AI music, which is the esthetic equivalent of microplastics in the brain. I don’t need to hear the backing track to respond to the lyrics.)

An entire essay could be written on the words “when you’re attacked,” but anybody who still doesn’t know about the 78-year brutalization of Palestine clearly doesn’t want to know. (For many years, I didn’t know either. Some of us have had to deprogram ourselves.) What caught my eye, however, was that flat declaration—“You say genocide, I say war”—that caught my eye. He’s not calling the reports from Gaza a hoax, but that’s the signature move for the new genocide deniers. They don’t deny reality; they deny the meaning of reality.

https://www.counterpunch.org/2026/08/18/the-new-genocide-deniers

That is truly pathetic that the idea that one is at war then all murderous intents are perfectly acceptable.

Not with me….killing innocents in the name of some stupid war should never be acceptable.

Regrettably the US has a sizeable population that will go as far as denier any genocide….as long as ‘their’ side is winning.

The Coming National Election–2028

I am an unashamed political junkie and am always looking for reports that can help inform the people that visit IST….there is some disturbing writings about 2028…..

It should be a shoo-in for Dems but it is not looking so ducky for them but we are a ways out from the vote and things can change….

First, I know there are many ‘independents’ (I hate that term) which are moderates and their choices are not looking good right now….

The choices they are looking at is the Left and far Right….

I am writing this text with the Americas and Europe in mind, but the phenomena I analyze apply, with modifications, to other regions of the world. We are on the brink of a new world war, facing imminent ecological collapse, witnessing the end of international law, and the end of the distinction between democracy and autocracy. The political paradigm of Eurocentric modernity has globalized to the extent that it has transformed democracy (liberal democracy) into the only legitimate political regime. Based on concrete examples, it is time to acknowledge that this historical process has run its course and is producing perverse effects: liberal democracy exists today primarily to create and legitimize dictatorships; democratic institutions are committing suicide as a normal way of operating. There is resistance, but it will only be effective if those who resist have the clarity to recognize the gravity of what is happening and the importance of what is at stake

https://znetwork.org/znetarticle/the-right-is-disappearing-the-choice-is-between-the-left-and-the-far-right

Let’s look at ‘swing voters’….those moderates or centrist or whatever one chooses to call oneself….

Swing voters in North Carolina say they are frustrated with President Trump and the state of the economy, but aren’t ready to abandon him or his party as the midterms inch closer.

NPR observed two online focus groups on Tuesday featuring 12 voters in North Carolina who voted for Joe Biden in 2020 and then Trump in 2024. These focus groups were conducted by messaging and market research firms Engagious and Sago as part of the Swing Voter Project.

Seven of the voters who participated identified as independents, four said they were Republicans, and one identified as a Democrat. That’s a more Republican-leaning cohort than prior months’ focus groups.

https://www.npr.org/2026/05/21/nx-s1-5828924/north-carolina-swing-voter-focus-group

That is scary results….so anyone but Donny may not care much weight at the polls.

It seems MAGA Repubs are taking over and the conserv party we once knew may soon be a thing of the past.

President Donald Trump has remade the Republican Party in his own image, but that transformation could prove costly in future elections, according to a new report.

The share of GOP voters identifying as MAGA Republicans has skyrocketed over the past four years, climbing from 38 percent in September 2022 to 62 percent in May 2026, YouGov/Economist surveys have found.

“It’s a change that has occurred with remarkable speed,” Brookings senior fellows Elaine Kamarck and E.J. Dionne Jr. wrote in a new analysis.

Just in the past month, the 79-year-old president demonstrated that his dominance over the Republican Party remains as strong as ever. Candidates he endorsed swept primaries across the country, unseating multiple incumbents who had openly criticized him — over the ongoing Iran war and the Epstein files.

Yet at the same time, non-MAGA Republicans have moved steadily further from the president, according to polls. While this group only constitutes a slice of the party, it will play a crucial role in determining the GOP’s future, partly because MAGA enthusiasts make up only a minority of the overall electorate.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/maga-republicans-midterm-elections-trump-b2990017.html

Now my thought is where will the conserv non-MAGA idiot put their vote…..do they go Dem or maybe third party like Libertarian?

2028, as of today, is turning out to be a chaotic mess…..and no matter who wins this thing not much will change in this country….sorry to be a bummer.

Any thoughts?
