Selective Intelligence


Representative Rashida Tlaib of Michigan is taking a lot of heat for her support of Palestinians, but after all, she is a Palestinian American. Tlaib is against the United States supporting Israel's war effort against Hamas, not because she's supporting Hamas but because she doesn't like the way Israel's targets often include innocent civilians. I... Continue Reading →

Ratty Intel


John Ratcliffe is the Director of National Intelligence. Why? It's not because of his experience in national security matters. It's not because of any experience he has in being intelligent. It's because he's a sycophant to Donald Trump. When he was being considered for the job, then-Congressman Ratcliffe lied about his experience in prosecuting terrorism... Continue Reading →

It endangers sources, methods, and threatens to manipulate the intelligence that's been gathered for... Continue Reading →

The more that the Russian hacking story develops the angrier I get. I'm angry that the Russians did this. I'm angry they succeeded. I'm angry that we have a president-elect who's becoming more and more complicit with the Russians. I'm angry that his supporters allowed themselves to be played by the Russians and continue to...

No Time For Intelligence


JaMarcus Russell was a star quarterback for LSU. He was thought of so highly that the Oakland Raiders made him their number one draft pick, number one overall, in the 2007 draft, and signed him for $68 million. Russell loved the NFL money and lifestyle but the man didn't have any interest in learning how... Continue Reading →
