CIA and FBI Celebrate Pride Month but Saw Catholics, J6 as Domestic Terrorists
"Under Biden, the justice and law enforcement systems are becoming blatantly politically and even religiously partisan.
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) tweeted on June 8, “CIA’s 2023 theme for #Pride Month is WELCO-ME!”
- That cute little acronym is supposed to stand for, “Wellness Equity LGBTQ+ Community Openness ME!”...
The FBI was equally enthusiastic — perhaps even more so, as it tweeted its Pride post earlier...

Taqiyya: Iran Actually Boasts About Deceiving the West in Nuclear Talks :: Gatestone Institute
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
- Let's take a look at the "Fair Tax" and see how fair it really is.
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....
