This is a REAL emergency!
This is the administration running your national forests right now. They’ve already abused every piece of legislation they can find. They’ve ignored the law where they couldn’t abuse it. They’re already using wildfire as the pretext to open protected lands to industrial-scale logging. And Congress is about to hand them the Fix Our Forests Act.
The Fix Our Forests Act, sitting on the Senate Legislative Calendar as Calendar No. 212, ready to be called to the floor at any moment, was drafted for a Forest Service that does not exist.

Posted on the other Tillis/Powell post
“I take the Department of Justice at its word: the investigation is closed, and any appeal of Judge Boasberg’s ruling will be with respect to legal principles and not for the purpose of reissuing subpoenas,” Tillis said in his Sunday statement. “Only a criminal referral from the inspector general would cause a reopening of the investigation.”

Sigh.
The Justice Department’s word might not be all that reassuring. In her statement dropping the investigation, Pirro warned that her office could reopen a criminal investigation depending on what the Inspector General investigation reveals.
“Note well, however, that I will not hesitate to restart a criminal investigation should the facts warrant doing so,” Pirro said.
It will be out of committee on Wednesday.

Iran ‘offers to end chokehold on strait of Hormuz’
Iran is offering to end its chokehold on the strait of Hormuz without addressing its nuclear program, two regional officials with knowledge of the proposal said Monday.
It comes as the country’s foreign minister made a visit to Russia he said was an opportunity to consult with Moscow regarding the war against Israeland the United States.
Iran also wants the US to end its blockade of the country as part of its proposal, said the two officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the closed-door negotiations.
The new proposal, passed to the United States by Pakistan, likely won’t be supported by US president Donald Trump, who wants to end Iran’s atomic program as part of an overall deal to reopen the strait of Hormuz and make the ceasefire permanent.
“We have all the cards. If they want to talk, they can come to us, or they can call us,” Trump said Sunday to Fox News Channel.

“We” may have all the cards, but this incredible dimwit hasn’t figured out that “our” cards are for Uno, and Iran ain’t playing Uno.
I hope that one day actually smart people will hold high office again.

When even the shooter specifically exempts the FBI director from the evil cabal that needs to be stopped.
…major hazard to Americans, and still keep your job.
There are more enumerations of fraud, dishonesty, destruction that keep their job. But Patel doesn’t fit in with anything.

Aren’t we all stunned at how fast they were able to identify that this WHCD shooter had liberal connections. Any word still on the guy who shot at {Current Occupant} or clear understanding of Charlie Kirks assassination? It’s good to know that they can spot the “left wing” violence this fast though.
BTW, the video of the guy sprinting through the magnetometer was pretty cool. Who knew you could breach security just by being able to run.
