Original Article

After years of back-and-forth and speculation about where the new FBI headquarters will be located, the General Services Administration has confirmed Wednesday that a site in Greenbelt, Maryland, has been selected.

Comments:

Biden sticks it to his White Liberal friends in the FBI who must now move or commute to predominantly Black Prince George’s County,MD - in the name of equity. Watch the resignations and retirements skyrocket.

Why must everything be situated in and around Washington DC? (Rhetorical question). How about putting the new FBI building in the dead center of the USA? The Department of Agriculture in Iowa! The Department of the Interior in a large National Park (I choose Yellowstone). The IRS in the Cayman Islands. The Pentagon with the rest of the Military at Cheyenne Mountain, and the CIA......hmmm where should we put it?

Why does this weaponized agency need a new office? The fbi can destroy pubbies and those Trump supporters who refuse to go along with lefty group think just the same in their old building.

I seem to recall most FBI employees live in Virginia. I doubt many will want to live anywhere near the eastern side of D.C. But - Maryland has a new Obama-mini-me governor, and Biden wants his endorsement in 2024.

FBI in Dallas used t/b in a small building downtown. About 15 years ago they built a MASSIVE building off NW Dallas highways in an inaccessible location. Easy to defend.

Cut the FBI staff and leadership in half so they won't have the resources to spy on us, or Trump, and they won't need a new FBI HQ's. No way should the House fund this.

The FBI HQ is now a few blocks from the White House and DoJ moving them to PG County will make if harder for the liberal DoJ lawyers to collude with their buddies at the FBI. I do expect this decision to be reversed. VA politicians hold a lot more power that MD Dems. Notice how GSA delayed this decision until after the Virginia elections? - no coincidence.

A new headquarters aka the FBI's version of the CIA's Langley...what a nice reward for denying the Constitutional rights of Americans who happen to support Trump, visited the Capitol on January 21, 2021, American parents who support their children and not the local school board, people praying peacefully near abortion clinics, etc. But I'm sure some Congresscritter at the next hearing will raise his/her voice at Chris Wray about how horrible his agency is...That'll show 'em!

Swamp creatures must stay in the Swamp. Huntsville was being considered for something (Space Force?) but the Swamp can’t come to the South. What with all the rubes and unwashed. Let alone Huntsville has more engineers per capita than any city in US. DC needs to be blown up and restarted w 3 branches of govt and 1-2 cabinet secretaries/ministers. It’ll never happen, but …..

There are plenty of empty government buildings in the D.C. area. Using them along with reducing the FBI''s size would save lots of money.

Republicans stuck it to their constituents as they rejected Rep. Matt Gaetz’ amendment prohibiting money going to a new FBI Building. The vote was 273-145, I believe. Overwhelmingly Republican support. MAGA voters need to get a list of exactly who did and did note vote for this! It could not happen without the Republicans. THANK YOU MATT GAETZ.

Absolute liars': Ex-D.C. Guard official

A former D.C. National Guard official is accusing two senior Army leaders of lying to Congress and participating in a secret attempt to rewrite the history of the military's response to the Capitol riot.  In a 36-page memo, Col. Earl Matthews, who held high-level National Security Council and Pentagon roles during the Trump administration, slams the Pentagon's inspector general for what he calls an error-riddled report that protects a top Army official who argued against sending the National Guard to the Capitol on Jan. 6, delaying the insurrection response for hours.  CORRECTION*

Water Tower Place, an eight-story, 758,000 sq. ft. high-end shopping mall in downtown Chicago, is in the news. Once one of the biggest and most exciting malls in the Midwest, it quietly leaked that the owners are interested in renting out the top five of its eight floors “for purposes other than retail.” Not just wealthy shoppers, but even browsing tourists, too, it seems, are staying away in droves. Chicago could support such a luxury mall once. The Magnificent Mile was a thrilling destination for generations. What happened to Chicago’s iconic Michigan Boulevard?

On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) stated that U.S. Special Envoy for Middle East Humanitarian Issues David Satterfield told him that Hamas does have tunnels under hospitals, but “when you have a hospital full of wounded people, it cannot be a target ever.” Host Andrea Mitchell said, “I can tell you that in the briefing we had today with John Kirby, where they were announcing this pause and the agreement with Israel, he was also asked about continuing strikes against hospitals, ambulances, and the like. And he said that there is always a concern that any action against a hospital would be proportional.

Friday on Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria,” Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz reacted to former President Barack Obama’s criticism of Israel in the wake of the October 7 terror attacks on its southern territory. Dershowitz suggested Obama’s criticism was a result of the “deep hatred” Obama had for Israel. “Do you think Obama understands what his words have meant?” FBN host Maria Bartiromo asked. “I think so,” Dershowitz replied. “I think he always had a deep hatred of Israel in his heart. He hid it very well. He called me to the Oval Office, and he said Alan, you know I have Israel’s back.

Rahm Emanuel once famously stated, “never let a good crisis go to waste.” This phrase expresses the idea that crisis often breeds opportunity. On Wednesday, the former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton joined the co-hosts of “The View” to do just that. Hilary seized the moment to offer her perspective on the similarities between Hitler and Donald Trump and what that could mean for the 2024 election. According to Clinton, she previously discussed the concept of “one and done.” This referred to elected individuals who sought to eliminate future elections, opposition, and a free press after their legitimate election.

On the day that the DOJ announced arrests related to a brothel that focused on political clients, these 70 Republicans voted to give the FBI brand new headquarters. Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz moved to defund plans for the new office building with an amendment to the Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act for 2024. House Democrats were unanimous in opposing the Gaetz proposal and were joined by 70 Republicans. Gaetz’s proposal failed 273 to 145 in a Wednesday vote, the same day the Justice Department unveiled three arrests over a “sophisticated high-end brothel” ring operating in Virginia and Massachusetts.

Agents reportedly approached Adams, 63, on the street and asked his security team to step aside, one of the sources explained. The agents then got into Adams’ SUV with him and executed a court-authorized warrant to seize

The man accused of bludgeoning former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband with a hammer was caught up in conspiracies when he broke into her San Francisco home last year, his defense attorney said, as his trial opened on Thursday. David DePape, a former nudist from British Columbia, entered the Pelosi home through a back door in the early hours of October 28, 2022, and attacked Paul Pelosi with a hammer. Nancy was not home at the time. Paul Pelosi, then 82, had called the police, speaking carefully so as not to enrage DePape, who was in the house. Police arrived in time to see DePape smash a hammer into Pelosi's head,

Former President Donald Trump threatened to weaponize his own DOJ in a reversal of complaints that Democrats are targeting him. The former president suggested he could use the FBI and Justice Department to go after rivals if he wins the presidency in 2024. In an hour-long interview with the Spanish-language television network Univision that aired Thursday, Trump attacked President Joe Biden for weaponizing federal agencies in an attempt to halt his presidential campaign. “I think the people know it's a political persecution,” Trump told host Enrique Acevedo. “It's a political hoax.

Does the Washington Post have any credibility at all? They censored this cartoon below after a few critics absurdly howled 'racism' -- all for depicting a Hamas spokesman accurately, and creating a thoughtful message that Hamas's howls about civilian attacks are disingenuous, given Hamas's war on Israeli civilians, including the 200-some hostages they hold. upposedly, they complained about the nose, expropriating from the complaints of caricatures directed against Jews done by anti-Semites. Yeah, sure. Did they want a little turned-up button nose on him? And is Ramirez supposed to depict a terrorist spokesman holding hostages flatteringly?
