The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)'s Office of the Inspector General (OIG) has released its annual report identifying the top management and performance challenges currently facing the federal agency. Among the OIG's findings, a lack of public trust in the DOJ remains a "longstanding" problem, Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz announced Monday, and strengthening such trust poses "a significant challenge." However, in its 59-page report highlighting incidents that have contributed to the department's confidence crisis, the DOJ watchdog largely overlooked transgressions under the Biden-Harris administration, which still reigns.

The OIG report is not worth the paper it is written on. I don't see how anyone could embarrass themselves with such a whitewash report.

I don't trust Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz and the DOJ after his report back in 2019.

Start off with cutting the DoJ budget to 10%....not by 10%, by 90% to 10% of current level. Then clean out the 'excess' people, basically lay off 90%, across the board. Then start over.

So: The OIG admits the DOJ has a trust problem with the American people but it doesn't have the courage to point out the reason.

The DOJ has very much earned America's distrust. Of course, the top administrators are Dimocrat faithful. But that open rebellion of the rest of the staff DID NOT occur says that they were just as guilty a part of the unconstitutional evil of the DOJ. Fire 'em all.

RIGHT NOW the DOj is being accused of covering up a major scandal which has cost the taxpayers many $ millions.

Michael E. Horowitz I.G. of the U.S. Department of Justice turned in HIS Report LATE, INCOMPLETE, INCOHERENT, SLOPPY,JUVENILE and without CREDIBLE SOURCE CITATIONS. to support his FINDINGS. HIS Report is exemplary of the work you can expect from the D.C. Swamp of non elected Bureaucrats Cosplaying Lady Justice for Bagman Biden and his Congressional Grifters. "Orange Man Bad" is a false premise used in this report to frame and blame an innocent man. It's not the worse thing the D.O.J. has or HASN'T DONE! Who remembers those healthy young women from our U.S. Gymnastics Team informing the D.O.J. through the F.B.I.of being continually and repeatedly raped and molested by Dr. Larry Nassar. Can the I. G. Horowitz explain why it takes Congress, our Legislative branch, to force the D.O.J. our Executive branch, to tell their F. Bureau of Investigation to Do Their Job? I didn't see that loss of trust cited in his report. I could go on and on. Drain the Swamp! MAGA 24/7!

It seems the OIG displays adequate reason why we should not respect him either.

The 2020 Presidential election shared a problem with the 1998 MLB home run race: the winning candidate did too well. In 1998, steroid juicer Mark McGwire broke Roger Maris’s home run record by nine home runs or roughly 15 percent. In 2020, Joe Biden’s 81 million votes broke Barack Obama’s 2008 record 69 million votes by 12 million votes or roughly 17 percent. Obama’s 2008 numbers were anomalous. Hillary Clinton’s 2016 numbers were closer to the norm, and Biden got nearly 25 percent more votes than she did,

There's nothing I love better than someone, who gets paid millions of dollars to play pretend, claiming I'm an idiot, but it happens more often than you might think, especially when a Republican wins an election. And I especially love it when they go overseas and talk trash about the United States, as if they're somehow above it all, even though if it wasn't for this country, they wouldn't have the money, fame, and privilege they've earned thanks to the willingness of American citizens to pay for their art.

Was there ever anything fouler, trashier, stinkier, smellier than the six or so lawfare cases directed at President Trump durin his campaign? I'd say 'no.' They were politicized justice of the worst sort, the Latin Americanization of U.S. politics, where the outgoing president always has to flee the country. Now that Trump has won the election against all odds, by the wildest of coincidences, two of these dumpster fire cases, brought on from the flimsiest of charges, have been scrapped. Everyone knows they don't hold water.

Maybe Pfizer could concoct a vaccine to prevent the transmission of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). Or at least lessen its symptoms. That would actually benefit people, both here and abroad. Case in point: filmmaker, producer, and actor Rob Reiner, AKA “Meathead,” recently found himself in the grip of a particularly debilitating bout with TDS. Not long after Election Day, Reiner tweeted: “I’m finding it very hard to sleep these days. It is 3:15 am. I am laying awake dreading January 20th 2025.” He subsequently added, “I have big decisions to make. For the good of myself, my family, and my country.” Really, oh self-important one, what decisions are those?

Do you remember the Trayvon Martin hoax? Trayvon Martin, the pot smoking, thug wannabe and burglar who one rainy night in Florida ambushed and tried to kill George Zimmerman? Trayvon Martin, the holy social justice martyr? The thug whom Barack Obama deified, saying if he had a son, he’d look like Trayvon Martin? I remember. I was one of the few comprehensively covering the case, not only for PJ Media, but for my own blog. That case archive may be found here. I watched the entire trial and corresponded with Don West, one of the defense attorneys.

Pam Bondi, Trump’s nominee for Attorney General now that Matt Gaetz has withdrawn, is an interesting choice. On the one hand, she seems like a conservative attack dog and comes out of Ron DeSantis’s Florida, which argues that she’s solid. On the other hand, a lot of RINOs are awfully pleased that she’s been named, which is always worrisome. One other worrisome thing is how she handled the George Zimmerman-Trayvon Martin case back in as Florida’s AG twelve years ago. Sundance, at Conservative Treehouse, has written a detailed analysis

Yale Law Professor Samuel Moyn has authored a New York Times essay (“Liberals Bet They Could Beat Trump With the Law, Nov. 22, 2024), which seems to demonstrate that he doesn’t understand, or care to acknowledge, the law from lawfare, or right from wrong. He abandons professional objectivity in front of his students—and before the public he writes to. He thereby violates the rules and guidelines of his own profession. This is the same Yale Law professor who argued in the same newspaper, that we should throw out the Constitution. Ironically, that is exactly what his political party did. Moyn argues, in classic academic misuse of reasoning

When Donald Trump shocked the world by winning office in 2016, I was still laboring away among the lefties in corporate America and not yet rescued by PJ Media. Thus, I was subjected daily to the bitter inanities of that political persuasion. Naturally, everything the newly elected president did was the Worst Thing Ever. Then as now, lefties loved to disparage Trump's cabinet picks and other nominees as unqualified and inferior.

RFK Jr. wants to get a lot of chemicals out of food to make it more natural, and we are told he is dangerous. Bill Gates wants to put more chemicals in cows to pretend he can control the climate.

The one person who knew that the Joe Biden presidency was something other than “Obama’s third term” was Barack Obama. If Obama had any illusions about his control over events, he was rudely disabused of them on July 21, 2024. This was the Sunday on which Biden dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Kamala Harris. The announcements caught Obama flatfooted. Biden had not consulted with his former boss either on his decision to drop out nor on his decision to endorse Harris. At 12:46 p.m. EDT, Biden posted on X his intention to withdraw.

John Kerry, who served as President Joe Biden’s Special Presidential Envoy for Climate up until March of this year, said late last week that a climate emergency needed to be declared. Kerry made the remarks on Thursday at a recent John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum as the 29th United Nations climate change conference (COP29) concluded. “I think, personally, we’re on the brink of needing to declare a climate emergency, which is what we really have,” Kerry said. “And we need to get people to behave as if this really is a major transitional challenge to the whole planet, to everybody.”

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston suggested last week that he could use police officers to prevent federal immigration officers from entering his city to carry out mass deportations when President-elect Donald Trump returns to office. "More than us having [Denver police] stationed at the county line to keep them out, you would have 50,000 Denverites there," Johnston, a Democrat, told the news website Denverite. "It's like the Tiananmen Square moment with the rose and the gun, right? You'd have every one of those Highland moms who came out for the migrants. And you do not want to mess with them."

Advisers to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reached out to the Health and Human Services Department multiple times after Donald Trump tapped him to lead the massive agency, hoping to jumpstart coordination before his takeover in late January. They were rebuffed. Kennedy’s inability to communicate with the agency he may soon manage, confirmed by an administration official with knowledge of the episodes granted anonymity to describe internal deliberations, is just one consequence of the president-elect’s continued foot-dragging on signing the standard trio of ethics and transparency agreements with the federal government — something his team pledged to do shortly after the election.

A new memoir by former “World News Now” anchor Kendis Gibson depicts a workplace culture at ABC News fraught with alleged hazing, bullying and racism — which he alleges contributed to a suicide attempt. Gibson’s book, “Five Trips: An Investigative Journey into Mental Health, Psychedelic Healing and Saving a Life,” chronicles his nearly five-year journey experimenting with illegal drugs to combat mental health issues, including depression, panic attacks and suicidal ideation, which he claims was amplified while working at ABC. In 2014, Gibson started his dream job as a correspondent at ABC News — recounting that he received a “heartwarming reception” from the “Good Morning America” bunch:

A ceasefire between Israel and Iran-backed group Hezbollah took effect at 0200 GMT on Wednesday after U.S. President Joe Biden said both sides accepted an agreement brokered by the United States and France. The accord clears the way for an end to a conflict across the Israeli-Lebanese border that has killed thousands of people since it was ignited by the Gaza war last year. Biden spoke at the White House on Tuesday shortly after Israel's security cabinet approved the agreement in a 10-1 vote. He said he had spoken to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanon's caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati,

We are just three weeks off of one of the most contentious and historic presidential elections in recent history and more people are watching the Hallmark Channel than the supposed journalists and political analysts of CNN or MSNBC. One has to wonder how CNN justifies Anderson Cooper’s $20 million dollar salary when people would rather watch Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story.
