ROBERT SPENCER — By the time former FBI agent Robert Hanssen was found dead in his cell in Colorado’s Supermax prison Monday, he had been largely forgotten, but in some circles, he is remembered all too well. U.S. Attorney Paul J. McNulty, who prosecuted Hanssen, stated, “The magnitude of Hanssen’s crimes cannot be overstated. They will long be remembered as being among the most egregious betrayals of trust in U.S. history. It was both a low point and an investigative success for the FBI.” Indeed, what Hanssen did was terrible. But when it comes to egregious betrayals of trust by FBI personnel, Hanssen has some stiff competition from the likes of James Comey, Peter Strzok, and Christopher Wray.... (more)

The Gettys surprised the Bee with a live concert of In Christ Alone!... (more)

PJ MEDIA — The House debt ceiling bill’s alleged savings are “worse than fake,” according to Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah). He and Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) both condemned the just-passed debt ceiling deal; as Biggs said, it’s sending the U.S. “careening off a [fiscal] cliff.”... (more)

RICHARD HENRY CARLSON — This paper was initially delivered at the IAAO Conference on Assessment Administration in Boston, Massachusetts, on September 1, 2004. Taxation has existed in various forms since civilization began. In days of old, the source of wealth was land and its proceeds. Before the existence of a monetary system, taxes were paid by a percentage of crops raised. Through most of history, the tax assessor and the tax collector were the same person; therefore, “tax collector” is used interchangeably with “tax assessor” throughout the following paper... (more)

PJ MEDIA — The pre-print for this study, prior to the peer review process, came out late last year. It showed, in a nutshell, that more COVID-19 shots correlated to a greater risk of contracting COVID-19. But the COVIDians predictably, in eternal denial as is their nature, pounced on the fact that the initial paper was a pre-print. They dismissed it for not being peer-reviewed, which is often described as the “gold standard” stamp of approval by The Science™.... (more)

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON — Why do so many liberal climate-activist grandees fly on private jets? Or why do those who profited from Black Lives Matter have a propensity for estate living? Or why do the community-activist Obamas prefer to live in not one, but three mansions? The answer is that calls for radical equity, “power for the people,” and mandated equality are usually mostly sloganeering for those who enjoy power and the lucre it brings, and their wish is to augment both for themselves. The result is that the issue du jour of mandated equality often becomes secondary if not irrelevant. There is neither fear of inconstancy nor hypocrisy, given the central theme that governs a leftist party line is political utility—or the ends of power always more than justify the hypocritical means used to obtain it....

ROBERT SPENCER — It’s more obvious by the day that Leftists have a taste for authoritarianism, but Hanoi Jane Fonda makes it even more obvious than others do. Fresh from calling for the murder of pro-lifers, Jane has now blamed the mythical crisis of climate change on the Left’s all-purpose bogeymen, white males. And what does the star of Barbarella think ought to be done with these villains? Why, they must be imprisoned, of course. Then, while the world’s white guys are rattling their tin cups against the bars, women and “people of color” can pool their efforts and save the world. Just like in the movies.... (more)

BOB UNRUH — A self-described "truth teller," New York Post columnist Miranda Devine, has schooled First Lady Jill Biden, on social media, why her "applause line" during a recent speech, fell with a thud.

JUST THE NEWS — Early in the debt ceiling crisis, the Biden administration tried to scare veterans into believing Republicans might cut their benefits, which did not happen. But the administration’s own treatment of the nation’s warriors suffers from glaring failures ranging from lax security to benefits delayed by unwarranted tests.

JUST THE NEWS — Ajudge in Maricopa County denied a motion to enact sanctions against former GOP Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake and her legal team. An Arizona judge earlier this week dismissed Lake's challenge of her 2022 gubernatorial election loss against Democrat Katie Hobbs. Lawyers for Maricopa County, the largest county in Arizona, filed a sanctions request after the trial, stating that Lake claiming the 2022 gubernatorial election rigged was “heinous and profoundly harmful.” Judge Peter Thompson ruled Friday that Lake's failure to prove her claims through evidence doesn't mean it was "groundless" and "not made in good faith."...
