FIRE THEM ALL FOR LACK OF CANDOR. Under the FBI's standard, candor is not simply telling the truth-it confers an obligation to disclose relevant information even if an investigator has not directly asked about it. The standards are strict-one former FBI official estimated 20 to 30 bureau employees were dismissed annually for matters of candor.
Rumor has it Senator Kennedy tought Yoda how to become so wise. Mad respect for Senator Kennedy.. just when I think he's going to take a certain route in interagating a witness he finds a better way to either make a point or get a message across.

This is foolish. Asking corrupt people to "do better" and "try to improve" is futile because these people have no intention of doing things differently. They will continue to distract and delay and kick the can down the road while they continue to do the corrupt things that they've been doing. You can't assume that these are good people making honest mistakes.

All of the federal government agencies will need to be restructured. Some can be completely eliminated such as the DOE, who consistently disobeys laws of the states to push ESG and DEI, the IRS could easily be a postcard for taxes, and Homeland Security is a oxymoron, useless. The individual agencies we once had we're fine, eliminate bureaucracy, extra employees, benefits and save 5trillion.

As far as I can see, the services got out of control a long time ago and represent power for themselves, isolated from any state structures. They are controlled by the same people who control them, the Fed, the banking sector, investment funds, the media, social networks... So today the USA as a country does not exist and this is no longer hidden, but the people are persistently made aware that they must reconcile and complies with the condition as it is.

Senator Kennedy did not say, "cold-issued truth." He said "a cold dish of truth", which is an old southernism.
He's WAY too nice about it.
I admire the Speaker and the House for addressing our concerns for Americans all over the country. Senators Hawley, Cruz and Kennedy realize the Congress as a whole needs to act to preserve our Constitutional rights NOW!!!!
But it wasn't me lying to you all.
So true !
John Kennedy... THE most unique orator in the Senate. I'm always entertained listening (plus he's pretty damn effective at getting his point across).
Brilliant!
