UTL COMMENT:- Seven buildings went down on September 11-2001. I question anyone still stuck on two or three buildings being destroyed are operatives of these same 3 letter agencies that he's calling out here. So question everything and do your own research. I do enjoy this guys content but he and others stop short and we all need to understand what Sea ?️? operations smell and look like. Let's also not forget the 'J' factor as well.........they control the CIA with Mossad...

And then it happened again. The New York Post — and it’s not alone — has nailed the problem exactly. The Post’s headline:  How Democrats relentlessly dialed up violent rhetoric against Trump before assassination attempt — comparing him to Hitler Then there was the lefty New Republic. In June of this year, the New Republic ran this cover portrait of the former president of the United States as, you guessed it, Adolf Hitler. The caption under the Hitler-mustached portrait of Trump: American Fascism What It Would Look Like Then there was this headline from CNN:  Top House Democrats compare Trump’s rise to Hitler’s  Not to be forgotten was this from no less than the current president of the United States, Joe Biden: Biden compares ‘sick’ Trump to Nazis in 2024 campaign launch The story reported this, bold print for emphasis supplied: Blue Bell (United States) (AFP) – US President Joe Biden launched his harshest attack yet on Donald Trump as he kickstarted his 2024 reelection campaign Friday, accusing the Republican of echoing Nazi Germany and posing a threat to democracy. As seen in that last story, along with being accused of being Hitler, the Left repeatedly accuses Trump of being “a threat to democracy.” There are plenty more examples of the “Trump is a threat to democracy” craziness out there. Samples?   The BBC: Joe Biden says Trump ideology threatens US democracy.  The Nation: Trump Is As Gullible as He Is a Threat to Democracy  New York magazine: “Donald Trump Is a Threat to Democracy, and Saying So Is Not Incitement” Then there was this after the July assassination attempt in which Trump was shot:   Vox: Yes, it’s still fair to call Trump a threat to democracy There’s more like these samples — oh so very much more.  But one sad fact is vividly in evidence. Democrats and the leftist media have spent months accusing a former president of the United States, a Republican carrying the banner of the Republican Party — the party of Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Eisenhower, and Reagan — of being another Hitler and a threat to democracy. Is it any wonder that this past Sunday brought the news bulletin that for the second time in a matter of three months, former President Donald Trump was targeted by a would-be assassin? This time around, a decidedly alert Secret Service agent found the assassin’s lair, fired four shots, and sent one Ryan Wesley Routh on the run, with Routh being chased and finally captured. And as the news of just who Routh is came forth, there was this all-too-typical news from Reuters: Ryan Routh: What we know about suspect in Trump assassination attempt   Earlier this year, Routh tagged Biden in a post on X: “@POTUS Your campaign should be called something like KADAF. Keep America democratic and free. Trumps should be MASA … make Americans slaves again master. DEMOCRACY is on the ballot and we cannot lose. In short, after being barraged with volumes of media in which both the media and Democrats all over the spectrum (is there a difference?) — and including President Biden — either accused Trump of being the new Hitler or, as in the case of Biden and others, a threat to democracy. Now, for the second time in three months, a would-be, decidedly incited assassin has taken it upon himself to try to assassinate Trump. Which brings us back to one of those headlines cited above. This one:  “Donald Trump Is a Threat to Democracy, and Saying So Is Not Incitement” In fact, it is incitement.  All of which is to say, after endless comparisons to Hitler and descriptions of Trump as a threat to democracy, there are those screw-loose crazies — two so far — that have in fact been incited to violence. That would be incited to violence by the leftist media and their Democrat allies. Is it wrong? Yes. Even more to the point, it is self-evidently dangerous. And not to put too fine a point on it, after two assassination attempts, the Secret Service, a thoroughly honorable organization, needs to do better.  And get the resources it needs to do better.

“Gov. Gavin Newsom’s staff at one point emailed LWDA [Labor and Workforce Development Agency] Secretary Julie Su to notify her that an individual was using the governor’s Social Security number to file fraudulent claims,” explains “Examining Widespread Fraud in Pandemic Unemployment Relief Programs,” a recent report from the House Oversight Committee that is packed with bombshell revelations. One individual used the name “Mr. Poopy Pants” on his official application and “received an approved claim.” Rapper Nuke Bizzle filed “92 fraudulent applications” and posted a video about the ease of ripping off California’s Employment Development Department (EDD) that gets a lot of attention in the “Widespread Fraud” report. “EDD, under leadership of Labor and Workforce Development Agency (LWDA) secretary Julie Su, made the decision early in the pandemic to ‘pay and chase’ after she was informed that keeping integrity checks in place would lead to a backlog in processing claims largely due to EDDs outdated IT,” the report says. California’s EDD also “failed to cross-reference applicants with databases of incarcerated individuals and lost around $810 million to these fraudulent claims.” Convicts who made fraudulent claims included convicted murderers Scott Peterson and Cary Stayner. Death row inmates accounted for at least 158 claims landing more than $420,000 in benefits. As the “Widespread Fraud” report notes, “while EDD seemed able to get benefits out to fraudsters and identity thieves without delay, EDD unnecessarily delayed benefits for several million applicants, allegedly due to missing documents.” And, according to the report, “EDD wrongly denied claims to at least one million beneficiaries at the same time they were paying billions of dollars to fraudsters. In one case, EDD continued to garnish wages and freeze the state tax return of a victim of identity theft for six months after EDD had verified the individual’s identity.” Under Labor and Workforce Development Agency boss Julie Su, EDD “did not make substantive changes to its fraud detection practices until July 2020 when it finally began stopping automated payments on fraudulent claims. However, EDD still delayed in responding when there was clear evidence of fraudulent activity and even when state auditors identified claims as suspicious.” And so on. It’s hardly the profile for a federal labor secretary, but the Biden–Harris administration wanted Julie Su for the post. Last September, a ruling by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) allowed Su to continue as acting labor secretary without confirmation by the Senate, a troubling development for independent workers. As California’s Labor Commissioner, Su supported Assembly Bill 5, an assault on workers from rideshare and truck drivers all the way to freelance writers and editors. Asked if AB-5 was a good law, Su said “I don’t know what you mean.” In June of 2023, when Su was asked if she accepted responsibility for more than $30 billion in unemployment fraud, Su replied, “I think an unemployment insurance system that truly delivers in times of crisis should be the goal of everybody.” During the pandemic crisis, Su failed to deliver, and she hasn’t learned the lesson. As Thomas Buckley of the California Globe warns, Julie Su is proposing a permanent system “eerily similar” to the federal pandemic unemployment plans kicking in “extra” pay every time a recession is declared. As this plays out, the massive unemployment fraud from the pandemic has yet to be adjudicated, and it’s not just about California. As “Widespread Fraud” notes, a full $191 billion could have been improperly paid out nationally, but only $6.8 billion has been recovered. When Julie Su became acting labor secretary, the report recalls, “she moved to forgive herself for the debt she could have prevented but failed to do so. Julie Su has been avoiding accountability since before the pandemic and will continue to do so until she is forced to face consequences for her negligence.” As taxpayers should know, such an accounting has yet to take place. The incoming Congress should make it a priority, and also remove the power of GAO bureaucrats to keep officials like Julie Su in office without Senate confirmation. The people will be watching.

Better late than never? We are mesmerized watching a five-year-old Netflix morality series called Madam Secretary, which follows a secretary of state who is skillfully portrayed by Téa Leoni. Remember the rich lady searching for her son on dinosaur-infested Isla Sorna in Jurassic Park III? (Sam Neill/Dr. Grant: “Please stop shouting on that bullhorn, Mrs. Kirby — making loud noises is not a good idea around here.”) Madam Secretary enjoyed six seasons and 120 episodes, and if you missed it, you might want to dial it in — with certain caveats. Secretary Leoni and her whole staff are globalist, progressive, collectivist world-savers. Every night, she rescues humanity from some appalling catastrophe — from providing earthquake relief in Nepal to getting Iran to sign a nuclear nonproliferation treaty. She dodges nuclear war every six or eight episodes. A colleague thinks the whole thing was originally conceived to boost Hillary Clinton into the presidency. Although political parties are never mentioned, Madam Secretary keeps a big bust of JFK, hobnobs with Madeleine Albright (still living during the filming), and has cuddly interviews with CBS’s Bob Schieffer. The occasional hard-nosed skinflint congressman, senator, or national security adviser is invariably a Ted Cruz or John Bolton–type character — so you don’t have to guess who’s who. (Occasionally a bouquet is tossed to the acceptable right: Maddy Albright says, “We have to have lunch with Condi.”)  This is an exceptionally well-done production with talented acting, as long as you recognize the propaganda tilt. Example: all the foreign ambassadors, heads of government, or politicians Madam Secretary encounters are the Good and the Great — sensitive, feeling moderates, pining for representative government, rule of law, democracy, and friendship with America. They hobnob with the secretary, exchange visits in their homes, and even ask her to look out for their stateside children. Unfortunately, they have the habit of frequently turning up dead at the hands of the Ungodly (and you know who that is.)  So Netflix wants us to believe this is what really goes on in the White House and State Department. If only we would recognize that the Iranians, North Koreans, Russians, Chinese, Houthis, and Pitcairn Islanders are just folks like us, we could solve all our problems. The reality, of course, is that they’re not anything like us, and we regard them as such at our peril. This is why I am in the minority for not condemning Trump for when he said Vlad and Xi and Little Rocket Man are “top of the line” — very good at what they do, with advisers as smart as they are. That’s not praising dictators. It’s recognizing the truth. Richard M. Langworth is Senior Fellow for the Hillsdale College Churchill Project and the author of fifty books.
