Comander just bit someone else. That makes 12.
my family raised German Shepherds for police and military service and someone has failed to properly train that dog. a large male without training thinks he owns the place and all the people should be submissive to him.

letting him bite people and not removing him from that environment and having him go through proper training is irresponsible.

he should be muzzled until he receives training. all he knows right now is that he can bite and get away with it.

Kennedy has about the same chance as the proverbial snowball. he sets off the Democrat's crazy radar.

i tried listening to him in an interview he did and it was painful. he's one of those rare left-wing conspiracy theorists. the only people who listen to him are other conspiracy nutjobs.

and, like most people who were born wealthy, he is totally out of touch with working-class people.

I've been around dogs all of my life. From little ones to big ones. Mean and lovey ones. They all had one thing in common - I trust them way more than I trust humans. If Commander bit someone, I'd want that guy off that detail. I don't trust people my dogs don't trust.
maybe the Secret Service guys creep him out. dogs are good judges of character. i'm about to move into a permanent home in the country and i want a dog again. i have a friend who has a blue heeler. they are intelligent, long-lived, and protective of their owners. average lifespan of 16 years. medium size and average about 50 lbs but they are fearless.

Nah. German Shepards, Belgian Malinois, Doberman Pinschers, Rottis, and believe it or not, Chows, all have extra sensory perception when it comes to elevated heart rates. Dogs that were bred solely for guard duty. These are dogs you do not want to have an elevated heart rate around, because they will sense it and it will wind them up. My guess is these SS guys were all on some sort of work out drink that pumps you up, then came on duty all wired and Commander picked up on it, alerted and nobody was paying attention, so he bit them. SS guys are probably wired a little tighter than most of us already, so...

Dogs will tell you when they are going to bite. You just have to be paying attention because sometimes they're not overt about displaying the protective behavior (Raising hackles, arching the back and lowering the head, growling, barking). But if you're paying attention, you'll see it and can intervene before a bite happens.

Lawyers for MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, an avid peddler of 2020 voter fraud conspiracy theories, have dropped the Trump ally as a client because he failed to pay for their services, Lindell announced on the Thursday edition of former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon's show. Captured by media watchdog Media Matters for America, Lindell told the "The War Room" host that all of the attorneys representing him in his defamation lawsuits with voting tech companies Dominion Voting Systems, which is seeking $1.3 billion in damages, and Smartmatic submitted filings declaring their departures in federal court 10 minutes prior to his appearance.

"This comes from the lawfare, basically, and from the media, the attacks on MyPillow, what American Express did — just devastating our credit. We — I — can't pay the lawyers. We can't pay. There's no money left over to pay them," Lindell said, noting that he made the announcement to preempt the "attack" from the media.

Lindell's attorneys asked to withdraw from the case in a court filing on Thursday, telling the court that Lindell is "in arrears by millions of dollars" and that they were informed that he is "not able to get caught up with or make any payment on the large amount they owe in arrears nor pay for anywhere near the estimated expense of continuing to defend against the lawsuits going forward." The filing comes after Lindell revealed that his pillow company is facing five audits from the IRS, adding to his growing financial woes.

Trump certainly attracted all the crazy fucks like stink on shit! someone told Lindell that his pillows were "lumpy" and he went ballistic turning bright red with veins bulging.

and now it's been revealed that Trump discussed nuclear submarine secrets with foreign nationals at Mar-a-Lago. he can't be trusted with sensitive information again.

Biden is building more wall or fence along the border after stating that he would not do so earlier in his term.

In September they intercepted 200,000 people at the border. and have made the decision to directly repatriate Venezuelans.

i feel for all these people who just want a better life but the US can't absorb 2.4 million people a year without damaging the economy.

the Mexican government needs to step up and not let these folks transit their territory on the way here. it would be cheaper to pay them to do it than for us to capture, process, and return them to their own countries.

FBI Creates 'MAGA' Extremist Category, Targets Trump Supporters Ahead Of 2024 Election​

The Biden FBI has 'quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter: Donald Trump's army of MAGA followers' ahead of the 2024 election, according to prolific (and well connected) anti-war journalist and political commentator, William Arkin, who has previously reported on the FBI's efforts to "Fight MAGA Terrorism."

In a Wednesday Newsweek article, Arkin reveals that the vast majority of FBI investigations into "anti-government" activities are of Trump supporters.
"The FBI is in an almost impossible position," a current FBI official told Arkin, who added that the agency's stated intent is stopping a repeat of January 6th type incidents (which was riddled with feds), while balancing the Constitutional right of Americans to protest the government "Especially at a time when the White House is facing Congressional Republican opposition claiming that the Biden administration has 'weaponized' the Bureau against the right wing, it has to tread very carefully," the official continued.
Newsweek spoke to over a dozen current or former government officials who specialize in terrorism in a three-month investigation to understand the current domestic-security landscape and to evaluate what President Joe Biden's administration is doing about what it calls domestic terrorism. Most requested anonymity because they were not authorized to talk publicly, were reluctant to stray into partisan politics or feared the repercussions of speaking frankly.
Newsweek has also reviewed secret FBI and Department of Homeland Security data that track incidents, threats, investigations and cases to try to build a better picture.
While experts agree that the current partisan environment is charged and uniquely dangerous (with the threat not only of violence but, in the most extreme scenarios, possibly civil war), many also question whether "terrorism" is the most effective way to describe the problem, or that the methods of counterterrorism developed over the past decade in response to Al-Qaeda and other Islamist groups constitute the most fruitful way to craft domestic solutions.
We would note that an FBI whistleblower in March claimed that the agency pressured him to inflate domestic terrorism figures against conservatives, and that the agency created a specific threat tag for pro-lifers "THREATSCOTUS2022" following the leaked Supreme Court opinion on abortion (and not a threat tag for the violent leftists who threatened SCOTUS justices?).
The FBI told Newsweek in a statement that: "The threat posed by domestic violent extremists is persistent, evolving, and deadly. The FBI's goal is to detect and stop terrorist attacks, and our focus is on potential criminal violations, violence and threats of violence. Anti-government or anti-authority violent extremism is one category of domestic terrorism, as well as one of the FBI's top threat priorities," adding "We are committed to protecting the safety and constitutional rights of all Americans and will never open an investigation based solely on First Amendment protected activity, including a person's political beliefs or affiliations."
According to the FBI's data leaked to Arkin, the number of domestic extremism cases has dropped since Jan 6, but that "Sociopolitical developments—such as narratives of fraud in the recent general election, the emboldening impact of the violent breach of the U.S. Capitol, conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and conspiracy theories promoting violence—will almost certainly spur some domestic terrorists to try to engage in violence."
So - while the threat that the FBI has encouraged agents to inflate may have fallen, they're on the lookout!
The agency has even created a new subcategory of threats, "AGAAVE-Other," to denote those who are a threat but don't fit into its anarchist, militia or Sovereign Citizen categories.
Introduced without any announcement, and reported here for the first time, the new classification is officially defined as "domestic violent extremists who cite anti-government or anti-authority motivations for violence or criminal activity not otherwise defined, such as individuals motivated by a desire to commit violence against those with a real or perceived association with a specific political party or faction of a specific political party." -Newsweek
Trump or MAGA aren't directly menti0oned in the official description of AGAAVE-Other, however "government insiders acknowledge that it applies to political violence ascribed to the former president's supporters."
"What other name could we use?" said one FBI officer, who added: "Obviously if Democratic Party supporters resort to violence, it [AGAAVE-Other] would apply to them as well. It doesn't matter that there is a low likelihood of that. So yes, in practical terms, it refers to MAGA, though the carefully constructed language is wholly nonpartisan."
Sure anonymous FBI guy... there's a 'low likelihood' that Democrats (the party which the FBI's top brass belong to) aren't causing political violence. Did someone get into Hunter's crack stash?

As The Federalist perfectly notes;
Despite widespread, leftist-led and encouraged riots during the 2020 summer of rage, FBI data says that spikes in domestic violent extremism and domestic terrorism investigations in 2020 and 2021 “show clearly that the main targets of the investigations and cases open were of Trump supporters,” not the people who wreaked billions of dollars of damage on American cities.
Similarly, “assessments,” a shadowy tool used by the FBI to spy on Americans who have political or ideological associations deemed unfavorable by the agency, “more than doubled from 2019 to 2021.”
A drastic rise in politicized probes of Trump voters follows an avalanche of rhetoric touted by President Joe Biden, his White House, Democrats in Congress, Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray, and other officials who have named the “domestic extremism” often pinned on Republican voters as the nation’s biggest threat.
The increase also serves as a continuation of the Biden regime’s persecution of its number one political opponent and his popular brand of wrongthink ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
Totally 'not weaponized.'
