Who’s your Daddy?
Nowadays, “Daddy” is a no-show.
Randi Weingarten’s American Federation of Teachers Union doesn’t defend children.
Bar Associations don’t go to bat for conservative lawyers, especially in New York.
And the American Academy of Pediatrics punishes doctors who voice concerns about the safety of the Covid vaccine.
There’s not One Good Man walking the perimeter. Especially among elected government officials.
Like Chuck.
“Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,” Sen. Chuck Schumer sneered in 2017 after Donald Trump criticized the Intelligence Community over reports of Russian hacking to benefit him during the 2016 election.
“So even for a practical, supposedly hard-nosed businessman,” Schumer continued, “he (Trump) is being really dumb to do this.”
Trump said the Intelligence Community was spying on him. It was.
To most normal people Schumer’s Six Ways From Sunday comment sounded like a threat, but that’s not how the American Civil Liberties Union saw it.
“It’s not clear what the ‘six ways from Sunday’ are,” the ACLU article titled Do U.S. Politicians Need to Fear Our Intelligence Agencies? stated.
“…It’s possible that Schumer was being flippant or over-dramatic.
“He may have meant simply that they might continue to try to make Trump look bad by releasing their intelligence findings to the public.”
You think? Like two impeachments, the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, and four criminal indictments?
When you look up the agency’s mission, the FBI is described as “an intelligence-driven and threat-focused national security organization, with both intelligence and law enforcement responsibilities.”
But yesterday, on NBC News, FBI Director Christopher Wray told Lester Holt, that the FBI wasn’t monitoring the protests on campuses.
“Demonstrations themselves are not something that we, the FBI, get involved in. (Except when FBI agents infiltrated the crowds at the Capitol on January 6. Check it out.There are photos.)
“But when violence ensues, that’s when we get concerned, when you have threats of violence.
Jewish college students have had to flee their colleges because their lives have been threatened. That seems like the violence Wray is waiting for.
But remember, Wray testifies all the time before Congress, and warns all the time about imminent threats of violence from terrorists crossing the southern border.
He testifies. He warns. But he doesn’t do anything.
And neither does Top Cop Garland.
Both would rather track parents at school board hearings, persecute Donald Trump, and monitor Catholic churches, linking traditionalist Catholics to violent extremists.
Both do nothing when Palestinian-supporting-demonstrators shout anti-American diatribes, here, in America. The country our government is supposed to protect.
“Death to America. Death to Israel.” “It is right to rebel, NYPD (and Israel) can go to hell.” And “We are Hamas.”
This month Wray told Congress what the FBI needs is more men and more money.
What he really needs is to recognize what violence is.
And then do something about it.
Hold the line, America.
Stay strong, Patriots.
