Thank you, Derek, for your comments.

Having worked in Washington for 21 years nonstop, at the Pentagon and on Capitol Hill, far too often people are appointed to positions by "mistake."  Trump was a newcomer; and can be forgiven for having appointed Wray.

And yes, the FBI has been corrupt since the days of J. Edgar Hoover; and its last four Directors should be incarcerated at Guantanamo Bay today, for their many crimes.  And yes too, the DOJ has been and is corrupt.

See, e.g., https://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2018/06/15/the-department-of-injustices-inspector-general-is-complicit-in-the-deep-state-cover-up/ ("The Department Of Injustice’s Inspector General Is Complicit In The Deep-State Cover-Up!")

Thank you for your comments, Ayelet.  As you know, anti-Semitism has never gone away, and has been rising globally for many years.  Is it wrong?  Of course it is, but thugs like Netanyahu have fanned it.

Years ago he morphed into his ancestors' Nazi oppressors; and he should be tried by the International Criminal Court, in a Nuremberg-like setting, and arrested whenever he sets foot out of Israel.

He was hated by Ariel Sharon and the Rabins, as I assume you know; and I have condemned him for many years.  As I have written:

"[Netanyahu] was hated by former Israeli Prime Ministers Ariel Sharon and Yitzhak Rabin—and especially by Rabin’s wife Leah, who blamed Netanyahu for her husband’s assassination.  She saw 'only doom for the Israeli-Palestinian peace process' with Netanyahu at Israel’s helm; and her views were prescient."

See, e.g., https://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2012/03/08/the-madness-of-benjamin-netanyahu/ ("The Madness Of Benjamin Netanyahu")

He does not care about the effects of his words and actions on innocent Jews globally, who cannot and will not be protected by the IDF or Mossad.  If he assumes power again, may Heaven help them.

Lastly, the IDF and despicable settlers killed Omar Assad and other innocents, yet they go unpunished.  No wonder BDS is lauded.  And yes too, the Iron Dome is "porous," and Israel might be subject to a nation-ending EMP Attack or nuclear attack from its enemies other than Iran.  Several nations have nuclear weapons, as I assume you know.

Thank you, Adam, for commenting.

"Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while."

Thank you, Dan, for your thoughts.  

I was in the Senate hearing room when Joe Biden appeared as a new Senator, one month after his first wife and son Beau were killed in a tragic auto accident.  I had just left the Senate; and I admired Biden's courage that day.

Fast forward to today, and I wrote an article setting forth my beliefs, which I urge you to read.

See https://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2020/08/08/biden-is-brain-dead/ ("Biden Is Brain Dead")

I urge you to read another article as well.

While you might prefer a softer characterization of Biden's declining mental health (e.g., "mentally-challenged), I believe that defies what the world is witnessing firsthand.

My guess is that he will not finish this year, much less finish four years in the presidency.  And yes, Kamala Harris is "waiting in the wings" for him to croak.

Thank you, Anne, for your questions.

I do not endorse extremists at either end of the spectrum.  However, to engage in a bit of hyperbole, I believe the radical left in America is a greater enemy than Russia's Vladimir Putin or China's Xi Jinping.

They are insidious, and must be put down like rabid animals (i.e., defeated in every election nationwide, and consigned to the dustbin of history).

And yes, again, I began as a Democrat but will never vote for one again.  

Thank you for commenting.

Anyone who has ever dealt with the DOJ and FBI knows that they are corrupt.  

See, e.g., https://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2018/06/15/the-department-of-injustices-inspector-general-is-complicit-in-the-deep-state-cover-up/ ("The Department Of Injustice’s Inspector General Is Complicit In The Deep-State Cover-Up!")

Second, there is a decent chance that Donald Trump is being martyred.  What has happened to him could happen to any American.

Third, If anything, Trump's supporters are coming together and vowing to defeat every Democrat and RINO in November's elections.  Basically, a "scorched-earth" policy.  And yes, lots of us began as Democrats but will never vote for one again.

Fourth, the hack "judge" who authorized the "break-in" of Mar-a-Largo had applied for the job; and now he must be terminated.  Among other things, he was involved with the Jeffrey Epstein scandals.

See, e.g., https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/crime/2018/03/15/west-palm-beach-attorney-bruce/7506025007/

I would not wager on his longevity.

Fifth, AG Garland, FBI Director Wray, and the Biden family crime syndicate must be investigated, indicted and imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay.

Sixth, the Secret Service agents guarding Mar-a-Largo should have prevented the FBI agents from entering, by force if necessary.

First, Dick, thank you for commenting.

Second, as my background indicates (see Footnote 1), I studied photography with the great Ansel Adams at Yosemite and Carmel.  Photos do not lie.  Yes, they can be manipulated, but other photos portray the same result.

Joe Biden is "brain dead," and suffering from mental decline, to be kind.  The world knows it.  He is a dunce, a buffoon. and an outright criminal who should spend the rest of his life (with the totally-debauched Hunter) in Guantanamo Bay.
