A certain amount of foofaraw came about when FBI bigshots Peter Strzok and Lisa Page drew headlines for their Trump-hating text-messages while in the throes of an extramarital affair.
And rightly, most of the attention went to the pair's illegal use of government property and underhanded Borgia-style machinations against the incoming U.S. president.
But their openly out there extramarital affair is worth noting, too. Under FBI regulations, adulterous affairs are a firing offense, given that such behavior puts national security at risk and automatically leads to the loss of one's security clearance.
It makes sense that someone who can't keep a personal vow probably wouldn't be inclined to remain loyal to his country,

Joe Biden likes to advertise himself as ordinary 'Scranton Joe' who's a family man and "devout" Catholic to the public.
A look at news rolling out about Biden's extended family in the wake of recent scandals suggests a different story. Far from being Lunchbucket Joe, House Biden is more like Venezuela's Maduro family, or Chavez family, or Cuba's Castro oligarchs. Cut to the chase and throw in Beijing's princelings or Russia's oligarchs, who frequently make cameo appearances. Not surprisingly, most claim to have a soft spot for "the common man."
Some photos of "the life" can be viewed here, here, here, here, and here.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy made good on his promise to boot two Democrats, Rep. Adam Schiff, and Rep Eric Swalwell, from the House intelligence committee based on their dishonesty.
It couldn't come soon enough. Thomas Lifson has a nice piece describing what a pleasant surprise it is to see this coming from McCarthy. (Snip for tweets) What's fun about this is the foot-stamping rage we are seeing in reaction to the measure. Here's Eric Swalwell, famous for his sex-and-fundraising relationship with suspected Chinese spy Fang Fang:

SAN DIEGO — A woman who traveled into San Diego Thursday morning through the San Ysidro Port of Entry from Tijuana, Mexico, was shocked to discover two people hiding in the trunk of her car about 40 miles from the border.
San Diego police were called to the 5000 block of Pacific Center Boulevard in Sorrento Valley around 5 a.m. by a woman driving to work in San Diego who reported two people jumped out of her trunk.
The woman initially pulled over in a Qualcomm Sorrento Valley parking lot because she heard strange noises from the rear of her car, according to police.

Just as the illegal migrant surge is hitting new highs, Joe Biden went to Mexico -- and blew his golden chance to make a deal with Mexico to stop the incoming border surge.
According to Bloomberg News:
US and Mexican cabinet officials ran out of time before discussing migration in a formal meeting in Mexico City on Monday, according to people familiar with the matter, leaving a major issue between the countries largely unaddressed. Uncontrolled migration across the US southern border remains a political liability for President Joe Biden, and the topic was on the agenda for a formal meeting between the American leader, Mexican President Andres Manuel López Obrador

Well, here's one we didn't see coming.
After months of wokery coming out of the Federal Reserve, with leftists promoting weird ideas like the importance of making global warming the primary consideration in assessing how the nation's money supply is to be managed, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell called out the crap and restated how monetary policy actually works.
According to the Daily Mail:
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell cautioned that institutions like the Fed must 'resist the temptation' to try and tackle social issues such as climate change in a speech in Sweden Tuesday.
Powell, 69, gave his remarks to a forum on central bank independence sponsored by the Swedish central bank.

t was a story that came and went a few days ago.
The Chicago Board of Education's Inspector General's office came up with an annual report noting hundreds -- and hundreds -- of sexual incidents by Chicago public school teachers commiting crimes against students in their "care" -- groomings, rapes, "love" affairs, and inappropriate sexual touching and encounters. The figure was described in the report as "an extraordinary high case volume." Kira Davis at RedState has descriptions of some of the most revolting activities.
According to the Daily Caller:
The OIG’s Sexual Allegations Unit (SAU) opened 447 cases investigating teachers for allegedly grooming, sexually assaulting,

President Joe Biden faced mounting pressure Monday to remove Jair Bolsonaro from the country a day after supporters of the former far-right leader stormed Brazil's Congress, Supreme Court and presidential palace.
Riot police were deployed to protest camps in Brazil’s capital as the government vowed to prosecute the rioters for the assault on the nation's democracy. The attack, which carried unmistakable echoes of events at the U.S. Capitol two years ago, also turned attention to Florida — where Bolsonaro flew days before his term ended.
“Nearly 2 years to the day the US Capitol was attacked by fascists, we see fascist movements abroad attempt to do the same in Brazil,”

When thousands of rioters ransacked Brazil's monumental government buildings on Sunday, political leaders condemned the grave attack on the country's democratic fabric.
In waves of green and yellow, thousands of far-right supporters of Brazil's ex-leader, Jair Bolsonaro, wreaked havoc on Congress, the Supreme Court and Presidential Palace in Brasilia, leaving a trail of destruction behind them.
But the three buildings also held a rich collection of art, some of which suffered irreparable damage.

Brazil’s former President Jair Bolsonaro was admitted to a hospital in Orlando, Florida, with "abdominal pain," reports say – a day after some of his hardcore supporters stormed the presidential palace and a number of other federal buildings in capital city of Brasilia.
Mr Bolsonaro has faced hospital stays and multiple times in recent years with gut blockages after being stabbed while campaigning for the presidency in 2018. He traveled to the United States two days before Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva took the office of president on New Year’s Day. The initial reports came from Brazil’s O Globo newspaper, with a source close to the family of Mr Bolsonaro

Nate Thayer, a risk-taking, publicity-drawing journalist whose career was capped by an exclusive jungle interview in Cambodia with Pol Pot, the leader of one of the worst convulsions of mass killing of the last century, has died at his home in East Falmouth, Mass. He was 62.
His body was found on Tuesday, but it was not clear precisely when he had died, his brother, Robert Thayer, said. He said his brother had long struggled with multiple ailments.
Mr. Thayer interviewed Pol Pot in October 1997 after months of clandestine meetings with Khmer Rouge guerrillas, whom Pol Pot led. After crossing the border from Thailand,

It was all supposed to be so well-scripted and harmonious.
Joe Biden would visit the border at the politically safe, Democrat-led El Paso entry point, make a speech about how well he's doing on his migrant surge crisis, and off camera, someone would clean up the migrant mess in the vicinity to give Joe the backdrop to spin to the public that all was quiet and under control at the border
Ummm... but in much chaos, it's really not working out the way he thought it would work out.
It's bad.
Start with the street cleanup effort, which has led to before-and-after tweets making the rounds on the Internet here.

The Biden family has more in common with the Castro family or the Maduro family or the Chavez family than they do with the average Scranton family.
