In the "I'm not sure anything about Democrats can shock me anymore" category, this barely caused a ripple: Bombshell Revelation: Jack Smith Spied on 44 Members of Congress. 

It wasn't just Republicans, surprisingly, but it sounds like the Democrats who were surveilled were caught up simply as a result of the other side being spied upon. 

Of course, the article also reminds us, "Tuesday's revelation comes less than a year after Smith denied in sworn testimony to the House Judiciary Committee that he had surveilled lawmakers."

Just consider it another day ending in Y, sadly.

I saw this a few weeks ago but didn't post on it, but I want to share it now, just in case the smart readers here missed it: Letter Shows Hamas Committed Oct. 7 While Believing Nuclear War Would Result

People don't stop to think about what a news article like this means regarding the beliefs of the Hamas members. They were willing to get bombed to oblivion because it felt right to them. An absolutely skewed moral conscience.

We know this, but hold on to the video recording here so you can have it handy when discussing the SAVE Act with others: Elissa Slotkin Admits Why the Democrats Really Oppose the SAVE America Act

Others have not stopped to think about how ugly the Democrat party has become has always been.

The incompetence displayed at multiple levels in the article just boggles the mind. And everyone is seemingly just fine with it, except J.B. Pritzker--and then, only until it impacts his own personal safety.

J.B. Pritzker Makes New Friends in Low Places

Seriously, people can't forward the paperwork along to get arrest warrants posted? Seriously? Can't we just set up a cron job to do this automatically?

Reminds me of the Lavrentiy Beria quote, "show me the man, I'll show you the crime." Not just to get the person out of the way, but to have black mail material and control some of them.

It used to be that line was shared to demonstrate how ugly communism was. It is truly disheartening to see those same maneuvers being used here.
