WASHINGTON (AP) — Dan Bongino, a former U.S. Secret Service agent who has penned best-selling books, ran unsuccessfully for office and gained fame as a conservative pundit with TV shows and a popular podcast, has been chosen to serve as FBI deputy director.

President Donald Trump announced the appointment Sunday night in a post on his Truth Social platform, praising Bongino as “a man of incredible love and passion for our Country.” He called the announcement “great news for Law Enforcement and American Justice.” 

I am a follower of Bongino for several years on Twitter (now X) and Facebook.

Political Prisoner Mugshot

 

Dan Bongino wrote on Facebook:

Display it as a badge of honor. 

America’s first presidential political prisoner.

And he’s STILL not backing down from the communists targeting him. I love this picture, and I’ll be donating to his campaign tonight to send a giant “fuck you” to the communist libs.

Nearly Half of U.S. Counties are 2nd Amendment Sanctuary Counties

The Dan Bongino Show website posted an interesting article.

The headline says that nearly half of U.S. counties are Second Amendment Sanctuary Counties. 

I am not surprised, for more than half of New Mexico counties are Second Amendment counties. McKinley County, my home county, is one of them.

According to the article:

Thousands of counties nationwide saw so-called “sanctuary cities” springing up to defy federal immigration law, and asked themselves why they wouldn’t to the same to fight gun control.

In just 2020 alone over 400 local governments, mostly counties, adopted resolutions declaring themselves to be “Second Amendment sanctuaries” in defiance of future gun control legislation. Many resolutions are symbolic, while others specify that no government resources will be used to enforce additional gun laws.

According to data from Sanctuarycounties.com and Constitutionalsanctuaries.com, 46% of all U.S. counties are now sanctuary cities. According to the sites’ webmaster Noah Davis: “There are 1,459 Second Amendment Sanctuary counties, out of a total of 3,144 counties, but I’m still tallying them right now… but they’re happening so fast, and I’m just one person in Virginia.”

Celebrities Bailing Out Rioters Slammed

Hollywood scum are being called out for their offers to bail out rioters by pundit Dan Bongino, Sen. Ted Cruz, actor James Woods and others.

According to the Washington Times:

Celebrities are coming under fire for donating to a bail fund aimed at springing protesters even as police struggle to stop the escalating violence in Minneapolis and other U.S. cities. 

Steve Carell, Janelle Monae, Seth Rogen, Ben Schwartz and Halsey were among those donating to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, which is raising money to bail out protesters flooding the streets over George Floyd, a black man who died Monday while in police custody. 

Those contributions were called into question on social media by those asking why celebrities would want to support the mobs throwing rocks, breaking windows, looting stores, and setting fire to businesses and other buildings. 

“#Minneapolis police precinct set on fire…While #Hollywood stars like @Sethrogen, @SteveCarell and @rejectedjokes make donations to bail out ‘peaceful protesters,’” tweeted conservative talk-radio host Buck Sexton. 

The Federalist’s David Harsanyi asked Mr. Rogen to donate instead to black Minneapolis residents like Stephanie Wilford, who gave an interview sobbing over the destruction, or Korboi Balla, a former firefighter who saw rioters destroy the bar he had bought with his life savings.

From The Union Journal:

Former Secret Service representative and also present Fox News factor Dan Bongino devitalized celebrities providing bond cash to rioters presently damaging cities for justice. 

In a weekend break look on “Fox & Friends,” Bongino could not camouflage his outright antipathy for celebrities supplying help to those that have actually been ruining, establishing structures ablaze, and also in many cases, dedicating abhorrent acts of physical violence in cities throughout America. 

“The celebrity morons and epic life losers who think it’s a good idea to start a bail fund to bail out people slitting the throats of cops, engaging in attempted murder on the streets of Dallas and beating the snot out of a guy in the streets of Portland, you disgust me,” he specifically specified. 

“You are absolute human filth, and the dregs of society in your Beverly Hills mansions, you beasts, while you sit up there and do that while America is burning to the ground,” included Bongino. 

...Chrissy Teigen took a break from her day-to-day fight versus botox to likewise give away thousands of thousands to assist with bond cash for wrongdoers.   

Bongino likewise included this dream: “I hope no American goes to see another damn movie again from one of these idiots supporting this nonsense.”

Popstar Justin Timberlake, furthermore, promised cash for those detained and also obtained ratioed for his initiatives. 

“Justin, how about giving your millions to a fund to help the African-American and Hispanic small businesses that are being burned & looted, rather than a fund to bail out the spoiled (often white) ANTIFA terrorists who are destroying minority communities?” [Sen. Ted] Cruz asked.

Yes, while Timberlake enjoys the lap of luxury, including a membership at the Lakeside Golf Club in Toluca Lake, California, the victims of the rioters he's trying to help are suffering. Maybe Timberlake should equally suffer by calling the Lakeside Golf Club ((818) 984-0801) to demand that they sever his membership there.

Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham and Her "Gestapo Red Flag" Law

Liberal Democrats are rushing headlong into enacting "red flag" laws, legislatively known as "Extreme Risk Protection Orders" and thereby turning law enforcement officers into "Gestapo" agents.

These "red flag" laws violate the Second Amendment (right to keep and bear arms) and the Fourth Amendment (prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures) of people not convicted or accused of any crime, but just going by the "say so" of a petitioner. I have first-hand experience of this.

They also violate the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments.

Fifth Amendment:

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Fourteenth Amendment:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

From Bongino.com:

In the past legislative cycle, Colorado, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Indiana, Nevada, New York and Washington enacted or strengthened laws that allow law enforcement and courts to seize weapons from individuals. Currently, 17 states have “red flag” laws. Although each state define their respective law differently, they all lead to dangerous consequences. 

The “Red Flag” laws create a modern day Crucible. As Colorado attorney and author Michael Sabbeth writes, Gun Violence Restraining Orders (GRVOs) and Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs), generically known as ‘Red Flag’ laws, are such policies that luminously disclose their intent.” 

Therefore, the laws’ “unintended consequences” are actually the intended consequences of liberal lawmakers. Sabbeth goes on to say: 

Presently drafted Red Flag laws are a toxic stew of Constitutional abuses and wasp’s nest of procedural requirements that will predictably lead to violence without any societal benefit. Their defects have been persuasively presented in many insightful articles crafted by Second Amendment and gun violence data experts… 

Additionally, he notes that “Uniquely frightening and not addressed sufficiently is enthusiasm with which legislators and advocates trash our Constitution and dismiss foreseeable harm.” 

The red flag legislation assumes that its many component systems will work flawlessly: that petitioners will be honest and moral; that judges will act Constitutionally and without bias; that police executing search warrants will be restrained and disciplined; that homeowners will be reasonable under high-stress circumstances; that guns will be stored without theft or damage; and that firearms will be efficiently returned when appropriate. Prudent functioning of these components is unlikely. The legislators know this.

Of course, New Mexico Governor "Malevolent Michelle" Lujan Grisham doesn't give a rat's behind about people's constitutional rights.

In the Silver City Daily Press:

Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said Friday she will not abide lack of enforcement by any sheriff or other local government official who opposes a new law intended to reduce gun violence. 

Her comments came during a press conference at which she defended her support of Senate Bill 5, which cleared the Legislature on Thursday and which she intends to sign into law, adding New Mexico to the list of states that have passed what are called “red flag” laws. 

The measure will allow authorities to petition courts to temporarily remove firearms from someone deemed a threat to themselves or others. 

“If just one life is saved, if one potential [dangerous] situation is averted, then we’re doing our job,” she told reporters. 

Her comments came after news that Lea County Sheriff Corey Helton  told people at a Eunice City Hall meeting Monday he would rather go to jail than enforce the law, which he thinks is unconstitutional.

She called such reactions to the legislation simply “emotional responses to not winning.”

Law enforcement officials, she said, “swear an oath and they don’t get to be policymakers.”

So, to save "one life" justifies the trampling the constitutional rights of everyone else? Definitely skewed "logic" on her part. Thank God we have sheriffs like Sheriff Helton!

Part of those oaths she refers to include defending the Constitution of the United States. If a law or ordinance is repugnant to the Constitution, is cannot be enforced. “A Law repugnant to the Constitution is void,”  written by U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Marshall in Marbury v. Madison.

If Gov. Grisham doesn't have a copy of Marbury v. Madison, I'd be happy to send her one. This offer also includes a copy of the U.S. Constitution.

The Drudge Report: I'm Not The Only One Who Noticed

Above, a Drudge headline before it went to the Dark Side.

Last month, I mentioned that the Drudge Report has gone over to "The Dark Side" recently and posted some alternative news aggregation sites for people who are fed up with Drudge.

Apparently, I am not the only one who noticed that the Drudge Report has gone over to "The Dark Side".

PJ Media posted:

"What happened to Drudge?"A lot of people have been asking that question lately. If you talk to conservatives these days, you'll hear that Matt Drudge's eponymous news aggregation site has gone over to the dark side—that Matt's joined the anti-Trump resistance. And now, Rasmussen Reports, an arguably reputable polling operation, is calling Drudge out on Twitter, even suggesting that the site has been sold. 

The whole kerfuffle appears to have begun at the end of November, when the Bongino Report, touted as a Trump-friendly alternative to Drudge, launched.

President's Approval Rises To 50%

Above, Trump at the State of the Union at the Capitol. 

If the Democrats thought that President Trump was in trouble after he agreed to end the #PelosiShutdown, those thoughts were swept away by his boffo State of the Union address Tuesday night.

According to the Dan Bongino Show website:

According to the Rasmussen daily presidential tracking poll, 50 percent of voters approve of President Trump’s job performance, while 49 percent disapprove. 

Rasmussen writes, “The latest figures include 38% who Strongly Approve of the job Trump is doing and 41% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -3.” 

The State of the Union Address had 46.8 million viewers, which increased from President Trump’s 2018 SOTU ratings. The ratings also beat President Obama’s second SOTU address by 9 percent. 

Instant polls conducted by CBS and CNN directly after the State of the Union address found that the President’s speech was a major hit with viewers. 

CBS News found that a whopping 76 percent of respondents “approved” of what they heard in the president’s speech, and 72 percent approved of the president’s immigration comments.
