Five Quick Things: The FBI And The Consent Of The Governed

The basis of any government's legitimacy is that it has, by whatever means it might manage it, the consent of those over whom it seeks to apply its power. And it's a colossal indictment of the Biden regime that it is challenging its own legitimacy and that consent of the people.

The FBI is a dead agency walking

  • George Parry at The American Spectator **** a wreath at the grave of the FBI as an institution Americans have respect for and a willingness to cooperate with.
  • Parry's column, "An Elegy for the FBI," is written not from the perspective of some anti-government radical, but as a longtime veteran of the justice system who worked closely with FBI agents for decades to put some of the worst villains in American history behind bars.
  • But, now that the FBI has been transformed into a partisan political goon squad, what should and will be the reaction of patriotic Americans the next time it seeks their help and cooperation?

States are beginning to push back

  • Eric Schmitt, the attorney general of Missouri, gave a perfect demonstration of what's to come as the Biden regime attempts to inflict the FBI on the American people in an effort to tighten the feds' hands around our throats
  • The Bureau demanded Missouri supply it lists of concealed-carry permit holders in the Show Me State, and Schmitt defiant response was a classic defense of federalism and individual freedom
  • Schmitt is almost assuredly going to be a U.S. senator next year
  • There is a coalition of about half, and often more than half, of the attorneys general across the country who routinely challenge the Biden administration's overreaches in court

Ramping up the IRS is a pure sign of bad faith with the American people

  • There is zero upside in hiring 87,000 tax collectors to harass an American populace living mostly hand to mouth as it is
  • Governments who hate the people they govern cannot survive, because they will shortly wear out the consent of those people they hate to be governed

Regime media and power is pushing the people to violence

  • It's imperative that the patriots among the American people trust what's left of our institutions and not resort to violence the way the Left does.
  • But the Left and the Biden regime are daily driving the spirit of rebellion.

An openly two-tiered justice system is a recipe for chaos

  • The putrid double standard every American can see in our justice system
  • When Trump's home is raided in search of documents already discussed with the National Archives and no warrant is presented to his lawyer for perusal, and two dozen FBI agents spend 10 hours rifling through his wife's closets and underwear drawers while Hunter Biden boards Air Force One for a "family" vacation with the Big Guy, and while Eric Holder commits open contempt of Congress without consequence while multiple Trump administration officials are dragged out of their homes in leg irons for the CNN cameras on the same charges, while Eric Swalwell doesn't even lose his committee assignment on House intelligence for sleeping with Chinese spies while Mike Flynn is bankrupted for a process crime, there is no rule of law in Washington or anywhere the regime and its allies are in charge.
  • From Soros DAs to the Hoover building, our law enforcement is corrupted and lost
