FBI Director Patel: 'My House Just Got
Swatted Yesterday'

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 6/7/2025 12:45:13 AM

Joe Rogan released a new podcast featuring FBI Director Kash Patel today. At one point in the discussion Patel revealed that his house "just got swatted yesterday." These comments came about 30 minutes into the two-hour interview at the end of a long discussion of Russiagate. Patel didn't say he was blaming the swatting on anyone in particular but the implication was that this was one part of a larger campaign of harassment that has been directed his way because he has turned over documents about Russiagate to congress.

These people deserve to be shot for doing this. NOT a prank, these vermin are trying to get someone killed, intentionally. Should be attempted murder, at minimum.

I'm not sure this is actually a good idea. Too easy to twist into a weapon against political enemies.

How is it possible that with all of the current technology the SWAT'ing caller cannot be identified and arrested? Do not the authorities receiving the SWAT call have the ability to trace the caller? If not, there is a serious flaw in the system that should be remedied immediately.

Okay, Kash, tell US what to do to get to the bottom of your swatting. /s You're the director of the FBI. Good grief! You're not getting my blood pressure up talking about illegal stuff that goes on and doing nothing (it appears). I feel like that's what our congress critters do all the time. They go on podcasts and news shows and tell us all the bad stuff that's going on, but they almost never tell us what THEY are doing about it.

I must be the only person in the world who doesn't know what swatting is. I thought it would be reasonable to expect the article to tell me. But, no. I read the stooooopid piece and I STILL don't have a clue. So much for trying to learn something in an insane world.

In answer to #7's question, swatting is the attempted murder of someone by calling the police anonymously, claiming to be the intended victim, saying that he had, for instance, murdered or was about to murder his entire family. The heavily armed SWAT team is summoned for a knock at his front door. If the intended victim, who doesn't have any idea what has happened, comes out of his bedroom with a gun to answer the late night knock, he might get executed on the spot. That's the ultimate purpose of swatting: murder of a completely innocent person by police. If the FBI Director himself cannot prevent this, what good is the law?

Did no one try to contact him first? The scary part to me is that someone was watch him to know if he was at home, in order to make the call. If I am understanding it. He had a 2 hour interview and from what I read, he basically said nothing. Maybe that was the nature of the interview, but it seemed he just kept coming up short. For example, he mentioned that Epstein killed himself and that the public would be getting the information and some time of what they could release. If he killed himself, and his partner in crime is in prison for a good long stay, and his dead, what mysterious evidence would be too secret to release. It's not going to expose any fbi agents, or fbi techniques, what's so secret? It's the only thing that took a look at and said, "yep, he's dead, and the prison said he was all alone." so what's is with the "The American public is going to get as much as we can release" .... What does that mean? Is the fbi still studying the matter after they already concluded "he killed himself?" Did they make a conclusion before they review all the evidence. This is the thing they are misunderstanding about being transparent. Why is it taking this long to release it?

The left threw violent anti-immigration protests in seven different areas of Los Angeles beginning on Friday, and you’ll never guess who paid for it. If you guessed "you," you are right. Not only are taxpayers paying for the initial ICE raids, which netted 44 illegal aliens, but we’re paying for the police, sheriff's deputies, enhanced California Highway Patrol, and the federal response to the violent protests against the ICE raids, too. But that's only the half of it. Most Americans are only too willing to pay for law enforcement, but it turns out that you’re also paying for the L.A. immigration protesters,

A federal judge on Sunday declined to issue an order to prohibit Donald Trump from removing three board members of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, as the administration seeks to zero out funding for public media stations, PBS and NPR. In declining to issue a preliminary injunction, U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss wrote that the CPB had failed to meet the threshold to halt Trump’s effort to remove Sony’s Tom Rothman, as well as Laura Ross and Diane Kaplan. Moss wrote, “Although the case presents important questions regarding the status of the Corporation and its relationship with the federal government, the Court must leave those questions for another day.

It's getting wild in California. California Gov. Gavin Newsom should have called out the National Guard himself to deal with the riots now ongoing around the Los Angeles area. But he didn't. And it's getting crazy, with federal law enforcement assaulted, even cars set on fire as people wave foreign flags. Fox News reporter Bill Melugin even shared video that someone took in one of the CBP vehicles that was attacked; a Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agent was injured in the melee. So, now Border Czar Tom Homan says they are bringing in the Guard in response. Newsom is throwing a tantrum on X over the reported action.

Border Czar Tom Homan tipped that the National Guard deployment was coming, after two days of violence in the Los Angeles area. Over that time, the federal detention facility was attacked with rioters hurling things at agents and damaging property. They went without help from local law enforcement for two hours, the DHS said. Then on Saturday there was more violence and chaos, as rioters tried to obstruct law enforcement actions, assaulted agents, and tried to block their vehicles. Then California Gov. Gavin Newsom flipped out at the National Guard news. He ridiculously said deploying the Guard would "erode public trust." Not deploying

LOS ANGELES (AP) — After federal immigration authorities arrested more than 40 people Friday across Los Angeles, protesters gathered outside a federal detention center demanding their release before police in riot gear tossed tear gas canisters to disperse the crowd. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers executed search warrants at multiple locations, including outside a clothing warehouse where a tense scene unfolded as a crowd tried to block agents from driving away. Sirens blared as protesters surrounded black SUVs and tactical vehicles. Officers threw flash bangs into the street to disperse people as they shouted and filmed the scene with their cell phones.

As Breitbart News noted earlier in the day, reports emerged suggesting that the Trump White House was considering cutting federal funding to California due to its challenges to, and defiance of, federal policy. Breitbart News reported: President Donald Trump is reportedly considering ways to pull more federal funding from the State of California, as Gov.

Employers in the United States added 139,000 workers to their payrolls in May, the Department of Labor said Friday, and the unemployment rate was unchanged at 4.2 percent. Economists had been expecting 125,000 jobs and an unemployment rate unchanged at 4.2 percent. President Donald Trump’s program of shrinking the federal government is showing signs of progress. Employment in the federal government fell by 22,000 in May and is down 59,000 since January. The private sector added 140,000 jobs, more than the 120,000 forecast.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California lawmakers this week advanced several efforts aimed at reining in utility profits and slashing electricity bills as part of their agenda to tackle the sky-high costs of living. The proposals would make sweeping changes to how utilities fund expensive infrastructure projects like putting power lines underground to guard against wildfires. They also would add more oversight around wildfire mitigation spending and put new requirements on utility requests to increase rates. Supporters said the goal is to make the big investor-owned utilities start sharing some of the costs to fight wildfires and build new transmission infrastructure. “This

William Sullivan’s essay regarding scientific atheism is intriguing and enlightening. It got me thinking about a very simple proof for a Creator. The atheist loves to proclaim, “There is no scientific proof of the existence of God!” This is true, since by “scientific” proof, the atheist means “empirical” proof, and there is no empirical proof of anything. However, it is quite easy to use logic to prove in easy steps that God exists and that He is the God of the Bible. 1. Every existing thing either is or is not existentially dependent upon the action of other beings. Those beings that are existentially dependent are called “contingent.” A being that is not

Private companies can do whatever they want,” leftists once snorted in defense of companies like Facebook banning conservative speech. But now the tables have turned, and LGBTQ activists have found themselves in a state between panicked and sulky as their fair-weather friends in corporate America are pulling sponsorships of Pride celebrations this month. As a result, Pride events across the nation are facing budget shortfalls, and activists are blaming everyone but themselves. At least 14 companies — including Pepsi, Citi, MasterCard, Nissan, Garnier, and US defense contractor Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp. — have dropped or greatly scaled back their financial contributions to annual Pride events nationwide.
