Now both DOJ prosecutors & Routh are asking his trial to be “indefinitely delayed.” I predicted this case would have such sprawling complexity due to Routh’s undisclosed links to US intelligence & military networks in Ukraine, Syria & Pakistan in this extreme deep dive stream: https://t.co/eXbD9FvPHR — Mike Benz (@MikeBenzCyber) December 9, 2024 4000 Terabytes?

McDonald’s Surpasses FBI In Number Of Shooters Apprehended In 2024 babylonbee.com CRIME·Dec 11, 2024 · BabylonBee.com U.S. — Fast-food chain McDonald's has officially surpassed the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the number of shooters apprehended in 2024. Despite having thousands of highly trained agents tasked with stopping violent mass shooters, the entirety of the FBI was bested by a single part-time McDonald's cashier. "Not again," sighed Director Wray, handing over his resignation. "I don't know how McDonald's does it. How did they beat us at arresting shooters, all while making perfectly crispy fries, a solid breakfast, and surprisingly good coffee? We just can't compete with the golden arches." In light of this development, Congress has announced all FBI agents will be required to do an apprenticeship at McDonald's to hone their craft. "If you can't beat them, join them," said Congressmen Rand Paul, explaining the new measure. "Every agent will spend time working the drive-through and cashier lines as we work to bring the FBI up to McDonald's level. They will learn how to catch bad guys and cook delicious nuggets. It's a no-brainer." At publishing time, the DOGE had announced to save costs, it will simply replace all FBI agents with current McDonald's cashiers.

Scott Jennings Blasts ‘Journo’ Who Doesn’t Pursue Government Liars Because There’s Too Many, Darn it! twitchy.com Warren Squire \| 8:30 PM on December 12, 2024 Twitchy You’re probably already familiar with this story. ‘Journalists’ and their fellow Democrats are trying desperately to derail the confirmation of President-Elect Trump’s Secretary of Defense nominee, Pete Hegseth. To that end, ProPublica was set to publish a story based on lies. Apparently, an official at West Point lied to the ‘news’ outlet that Hegseth had never applied and been accepted for enrollment at the institution. This was only admitted to after Hegseth produced 25-year old documented proof that had indeed applied and been accepted by West Point. Oopsie! So, the story was killed. Of course, ‘journalists’ were patting themselves on the back because the obvious politically-motivated hit piece based entirely on lies didn’t get published. ‘Hooray for us!’ But, this created a REAL story: why did the official at West Point lie? Because, if that lie had been published, Hegseth would have been labeled a liar if he hadn’t held on to that decades-old document. Whew, that’s a lot of background. That brings us to today. Republican Scott Jennings is having to chide a ‘journalist’ because they don’t believe their job is to go after government officials who lie to the them. No, really. Why? Because there’s just too many lies, darn it! Read on. Yes. This is exactly the point. When the government lies to you please tell someone. https://t.co/cY7zwgryDJ — Scott Jennings (@ScottJenningsKY) December 12, 2024 Understand we’re not dealing with actual journalists, we’re dealing with ‘journalists.’ That generally denotes a Democrat/activist who pretends to be a journalist. With that in mind, it’s understandable that ‘journalists’ don’t want to expose their lying government sources. Why? They supply ‘journos’ with lies and juicy tidbits they use to craft their narratives. Narratives like, Hegseth is a liar for saying he was accepted at West Point. This poster gets it. I suspect the reason why journalists don't want to burn sources that lie to them is that the journalists want to be lied to in the future by the same source so long as the lies support the narrative the journalist is pushing. Once some journalists burn lying sources, then there… — mthullen (@mthullen1) December 12, 2024 There’s no actual repercussions when a source lies. If so, how would we know? We don’t know who they are or if they even exist. ‘Journalists’ usually fall back on, ‘We’ll, that’s what my sources told me.’ Then they move on gleefully to their next target. Washington D.C. is an ecosystem of lies. This next poster is right about that, but wrong that lies are no longer newsworthy. Josh's position is that we've gotten to the point where the government lies so often that it is no longer newsworthy. That's the implication. — Opinionated Native Texan (@realcbbaylor) December 12, 2024 That guy is right, it would take up a lot of time… And that is the problem in itself. Perhaps with more light shed on each and every situation, lies will become less frequent. That is the hope anyway I suppose. — InvisibleLady (@bkbart80) December 12, 2024 It is a waste of time to go after small lies. But, when a lie impacts the reputation and livelihood of a person, in this case Hegseth, you have to pursue it. Especially, if you participated in spreading that lie. That’s if you’re an actual journalist. NOW DO THESE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS Obama knew. Clinton knew. Biden knew. Comey knew. Brennan knew. McCabe knew. Strzok knew. Clapper knew. Rosenstein knew. FBI knew. DOJ knew. CIA knew. State knew. They all knew @RealDonaldTrump was innocent but they smeared and spied on him. Worst scandal in our nation's history. https://t.co/X2vCGMdb6f — Tom Fitton (@TomFitton) November 4, 2021
