Response to Jeff,

Thanks for the link from Sundance to Cashill, well worth the read...

Looking back now, we can see more clearly how elements in government have been working with media and nonprofits since Obama was elected, through to St George Floyd's martyrdom, to achieve domestic political goals using "color revolution" techniques built on interracial tensions.

Because to people inside the Beltway, everyone outside the Beltway is a foreign threat to be neutralized.

Meanwhile, there are unconfirmed reports of an FBI HQ staff vehicle roaring into a local Walmart parking lot and loading up on a very large supply of emergency replacement underwear for HQ personnel who, upon learning of Patel's appointment over them, immediately pooped their pants.

I see this all the time from the Blob when they do not like someone....he or she does not have experience running a large entity.

Is this valid? Yes and no. History says these people can succeed.

That there are many people who are very capable, but have not run "large" entities. But two things are essential.

One: The candidate is smart, energetic and has the capability of "clarity of thought."

Two. The candidate needs to have reliable, truthful and "clear headed". subordinates directly below him/her.

If he /she has the above they got a great chance of doing very well.

If not, and you have mediocre candidates and these canidates are surrounded by liars, sycophants and adversarial plotters , then your canidates will fail.

I have no plans to ever run for office but I think I could do a better job than 99.9% of the clowns who got us $35T in debt.

You would. The guys we have had in the last 40 years have failed miserably. They guys before them were not that impressive either.

Patel manages UP, and he finds a good deputy to manage DOWN!

Patel has a simple solution to the charge that he lacks experience running a large entity: DOWNSIZE the FBI until it becomes manageable!

Good to hear that hope is alive. May we hope that Kash Patel will hold Pam Bondi to account to do what is right, and true, and good?

I believe Kask Patel will be an excellent Director of the FBI. He is qualified and honest and will bring a history of legal knowledge necessary for this position. Why should anyone be worried about his expertise?

One of these is not like the other one.

Patel looks really good for FBI Director!

Kushner looks really bad for Ambassador to France!

Which one of the two will have an easy Senate confirmation experience?

Actually, getting Kushner out of the country looks good to me.

The silver lining. So this is "populism"?

Good question. Probably the one who threatens the Deep State the least.
