CIA and FBI Celebrate Pride Month but Saw Catholics, J6 as Domestic Terrorists
CIA and FBI Celebrate Pride Month but Saw Catholics, J6 as Domestic Terrorists - BY CATHERINE SALGADO
"Under Biden, the justice and law enforcement systems are becoming blatantly politically and even religiously partisan.
"Under Biden, the justice and law enforcement systems are becoming blatantly politically and even religiously partisan.
For instance, while the FBI put plants in traditional Catholic churches to spy out supposed domestic terrorists and targeted Trump and Jan. 6 protestors, both the FBI and CIA have proudly and loudly advertised their support of LGBTQ madness.
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) tweeted on June 8, “CIA’s 2023 theme for #Pride Month is WELCO-ME!”

Bongino says left 'obsessed' with talking to kids about sex - TheBlaze:
Conservative commentator Dan Bongino has asserted that liberals are "obsessed" with speaking to children about sex.
"Libs are obsessed with talking to your kids about sex, having sex, how to have sex, their sex lives, others’ sex lives, straight sex, gay sex, multiple sex partners, young people having sex, sex 'changes,' and worse. If this doesn't disturb you, then you're not paying attention." Bongino tweeted.
Taqiyya: Iran Actually Boasts About Deceiving the West in Nuclear Talks :: Gatestone Institute
Taqiyya: Iran Actually Boasts About Deceiving the West in Nuclear Talks :: Gatestone Institute by Raymond Ibrahim
Iran's Supreme Guide, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei "used the Islamic concept of 'Taqiyya' to describe the regime's decision to accept the 2015 JCPOA nuclear deal with the West. Taqiyya means the permissibility to deny or conceal one's real beliefs to secure a worthy goal." — iranintl.com, May 20, 2023.
If it was not clear what "heroic flexibility" meant then, it probably should be clear by now. Reports consistently document that Iran has been cheating since day one...
It should not be surprising, therefore, that Khamenei is relying on taqiyya once again. What is surprising is that the Biden Administration is falling for it – after being told it would be used – and allowing itself to be sucker-punched, or pretending to allow it...
No, a 'Fair Tax' is not a good idea - American Thinker
No, a 'Fair Tax' is not a good idea - American Thinker - By Jack Hellner
- Let's take a look at the "Fair Tax" and see how fair it really is.
Why would people think United Health Care, Aetna, and other very profitable companies would not only not pay income taxes or payroll taxes, but would also be somehow exempt from the fair tax as well?
Almost everything would be taxed, or else they wouldn't collect the money the federal government supposedly need.
Almost everything would be taxed, or else they wouldn't collect the money the federal government supposedly need.
The Fair Tax Act would impose a 30 percent national sales tax
Beginning in 2025, H.R. 25 would impose $30 in tax on each $100 purchase.** Proponents call this a "23 percent tax" because the $30 tax payment is 23 percent of the tax-inclusive price of $130. Yet described in more conventional terms — such as those used for existing state sales taxes — the $30 paid in tax is, in reality, a 30 percent tax on the cost of the goods or services purchased...
- What about cars? GM, Carvana, all car manufacturers, and car-dealers would not only not pay income taxes or payroll taxes, but also be exempt from the national sales tax? Only a childlike mind would believe that.
- Well, perhaps the monthly prebate will solve the problem for the poor, and that will take care of that. But how many bureaucrats would it take to calculate the prebate, administer it, and send out the money?..
- In reality, the lobbying for exemptions from the tax would be massive, but whatever exemptions were given would have to be replaced with higher tax rates....
