My Apologies ~ Ep. 1265 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode, I address the exploding controversy over this action by President Trump. I discuss the new revelations in the Mike Flynn case which will rock your core. I also address my appearance on Hannity last night and I explain what happened.

On a very sincere note to begin the show, Dan gives a very heart felt mea culpa for using the Lord's name in vain when he was on the Sean Hannity Show on Tuesday (June 2, 2020).  He was in total repentance, fully acknowledging his guilt, and apologizing for what he did.  Umm, do you remember when former President Obama's pastor, "Reverend" Jeremiah Wright gave his mea culpa for using the Lord's name in vain?  Well, I don't either!  I don't think he did, unless the press never reported that.

It was great to see Dan getting back to the Gen. Mike Flynn saga in the show.  I thought it was a highlight moment of the ages when Dan briefed us on the Noel Francisco Brief in regard to Michael Flynn's Petition for Writ of Mandamus to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.  So, the Solicitor General of the United States would just make it all up?  Just alluding to what Liberals will probably tell you.  You better try real hard, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff or CNN and PMSNBC dimwits, because it's going to be pretty difficult to discredit the people that signed that little note to an Appeals Court.  Good luck with that.  They'd have to be morons to attempt that sabotage.  Oh, wait...

Okay, I'm on a roll here, but there is SO much to this show for you to see and hear for yourself.  Only if you are trying to write a blog about it do you have to keep going back to his Show for information, because otherwise, this one will tell you right up front that this is about a true battle between good and evil.  And you know?  I think the police are the good guys!  And they will try to keep protestors and the public safe to the best of their abilities, and sometimes at a very high cost. I hope and pray that the protestors get very smart, which they truly are, and start turning in the REAL bad guys that have been hijacking a legitimate cause, for very evil purposes.  I'll let Dan explain.

SHOW NOTES for Episode 1265

Patron Detained, Owners Cited at NJ Gym That Defied Coronavirus Shutdown | NBC10 Philadelphia

Remember that awesome video I posted here the other day, about the Bellmawr police officer with the big heart? It seems that it didn't go over too well at the Governor's office, they weren't too pleased.

Bellmawr police issued citations to the owners of Atilis Gym for defying the governor's stay at home order. They also detained a gym member who was working out Tuesday.

I had posted a good, positive story about the way the police handled the Atilis Gym opening in Bellmawr, New Jersey. That sure was a nice, heartwarming story, wasn't it? Well, that was until we found out that shortly after that quaint scene, they let the hounds loose on the people. And I'm sorry, I got sucked in, to make it look like We the People were going to overcome the lockdowns, and let them know that we still expect the government to abide by the Constitution. And that the Blue was going to back us up. Oops. Guess not..

Well, hopefully that will change, for real. I am so sad if yesterday's video was just for show.  We need to know that law enforcement officers will honor their oath to defend our Constitution.  We need them to tell these little totalitarian Governors and mayors of our major cities that they won't do their bidding when it is against the Constitution. 

New Jersey Police Officer Allows Bellmawr Gym Defying Lockdown to Reopen ~ Video

From the Youtube page for THE BALLERS LIFE:

Police officers were met with applause and chants of “USA” after they allowed a gym in Bellmawr, New Jersey, to continue operating on Monday, May 18, despite state lockdown orders.

Atilis Gym co-owner Ian Smith announced in a May 11 Facebook video that the facility would resume operations on May 18 “under the strictest measures.” Smith criticized the closure of nonessential businesses, saying “the danger of the virus had been largely overestimated.”

According to Johns Hopkins University, 10,363 people in New Jersey have died from COVID-19, the second-highest death rate of any US state (after New York).

Atilis Gym said new regulations include operating at 20 percent capacity, taking temperatures upon entry, and making hand sanitizer available, among other guidelines. The gym also said members in the facility must wear a mask “unless you are in the middle of your set.”

This video, filmed on May 18, shows an officer giving the OK for Atilis Gym to reopen, prompting demonstrators to cheer and break into chanting.

“Normally, you are all in violation of the executive order. On that note, have a good day, everybody be safe,” the officer says as the crowd erupts in applause.

Atilis Gym co-owner Frank Trumbetti said in a May 13 Facebook video that the reopening was planned to “fight for our rights.” An emotional Trumbetti also said in the video that his mother tested positive for the coronavirus in early May.

He said as of May 13, his mom was “nonresponsive” in the hospital and under do-not-resuscitate and do-not-intubate orders.

“Trust me when I say, I probably take this more seriously than probably almost anybody you know,” Trumbetti said in the video. Credit: @proteinnpop

This police officer deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom for what he does here!  Yes, this gave me goosebumps, especially after what I wrote and worked on this weekend, in my post, "The Independence Day I Dream Of! ~ Video by Mad Liberals."

And now, there is the judge who declared that Oregon Gov. Brown's coronavirus restrictions are 'null and void'!  Meanwhile, a Federal judge ruled that the North Carolina governor’s coronavirus restrictions violate religious expression!

Folks, it's going to be happening all across the fruited plains of this great nation.  Yes, there are people that take the Constitution and our Bill of Rights very seriously.  Americans really do not appreciate being told to lock themselves up in their homes, and not have the right to freely worship, or run their businesses, though mostly with safety precautions.

I think Mayor Lightfoot in Chicago is going to be facing some problems after some of the things she has done with restrictions on even going to church.  That little dictator Mayor, along with Gov. Witmer of Michigan, probably should take heed to Attorney General William Barr's memo that states the following:

Now, I am directing each of our United States Attorneys to also be on the lookout for state and local directives that could be violating the constitutional rights and civil liberties of individual citizens.

So, here is the video that I found, thanks to @SimonRadio1776 And many thanks to THE BALLERS LIFE for posting this video on youtube. It will definitely give you goosebumps!



UPDATE: I believe I spoke too soon in regard to this story!

Stop This Madness Now! ~ Ep. 1235 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode, I address the outrageous comments by these two liberal lawmakers regarding the failed lockdowns. I also address new information regarding the deep hole John Brennan is in for his role in the Spygate scandal.

There is obviously a very good reason why The Dan Bongino Show is as popular as it is. He has such an amazing amount of passion in his research and what he talks about. This episode is a prime example of that passion.  Dan had my full attention, with the blinders on, right from the ringing of the bell by Joe.

The knives came out early in this episode. First, we get to see what a dope that Governor Andrew Cuomo is. The arrogance was seeping out of him like a very, very ripe banana being pealed. What type of person would say the things that Gov. Cuomo said to a reporter, on video? That a person can go get an "essential" job if they are unemployed? It's enough to bake my bagels, for sure. But then, Dan gets extremely passionate about the affects on people's lives because of the shutdown. Yes, I'd say, for good reason. Our bagels weren't just baked; they were nuked. Dan is right, that the people that made the decisions to close down our economy, leading to the unemployment of around 25 million people (so far); decisions that were not in the least bit thought out.

Well, look, I know some people out there reading this blogs don't always have the time available to watch all of the episodes, from beginning to end.  When Dan is discussing Spygate, sometimes, it can get very overwhelming, especially if you aren't familiar with all of the names of the people involved.  Long-time listeners of Dan have been familiarized with many of the players in all of the Spygate hoax to remove the President from office.  That being said, Dan has a pretty good segment about one of the major dirt-bags involved in the Russian Collusion hoax that you really don't want to miss.  You'll find out why it may be time for John Brennan, the CIA Director under Barack Obama, to panic.  Was Brennan the puppet master, as Dan asks?

The lonesome death of Eric Garner ~ By Harry Siegel

Anyone unsure why so many people of color are upset with the police, and suspicious of the American justice system, put your politics down, open your eyes and watch the videos.

There’s more to be said on another day about broken-windows policing. Garner was known to cops for selling loose cigarettes, though he wasn’t doing that when he was arrested and killed.  (My comment: That statement may require some research, as I have heard information that contradicts that.)

There is more to be said another day about the dishonesty or intellectual confusion of those activists, protesters and politicians who appear to view cops as the only real criminals.

But fear of police and lost faith in justice are real, corrosive forces. That fear makes decent people of color feel that society places a lower value on their lives. It makes parents and their children fear the very people who are supposed to be protecting them. Good policing demands community buy-in, so perception itself matters.

I did not post this story because I agree with Harry. He may have made some good points that we can contemplate on as long as there are still legs on this news event, but as to him trying to supplant some kind of racial incident as being the ONLY or MAIN ingredient in the death of Eric Garner, he is totally incorrect.

So, the primary subject of the story, Mr. Eric Garner, happened to be African-American. But, does that necessarily mean that the treatment that he received had anything to do with race? Of course it may have played a part, but it's very unrealistic for anyone to believe that was the primary catalyst for the tragedy that happened on the New York streets, or in the Grand Jury. There are other issues.

Perhaps Mr. Garner was trying to help support his family by a little entrepreneurship because of a lack of good employment opportunities. (Hmm, that CAN happen with a rap sheet showing 31 arrests.) Or, maybe it is the fact that the excessive taxes collected on cigarettes by the government entities - city, state, and federal - made his trade a profitable enterprise, and thus, worth the risk of breaking laws. And it wasn't like he was selling heroin or cocaine.

As Rand Paul suggested last night, perhaps politicians that wrote those laws also directed the enforcement of them, as Governor Cuomo (D-NY) did by setting up a STRIKE force to go after those on the street selling "loosies" (individual cigarettes bought in states or Indian Reservations that charge less or no taxes) - just because the government entities were losing the lucrative tax revenues from those of us with the nicotine addiction.

While I agree with Harry Siegel that the police may have used excessive force to subdue Eric Garner in an attempt to arrest him, I think that Siegel is too much like the usual suspects that are trying to make it all about race! Perhaps the biggest disgust we should all have, as Americans, is that the government may be trying to gain too much power and using the police in ways that affect ALL of our civil liberties. Just sayin'...

The lonesome death of Eric Garner
When men are treated like pieces of meat by cops and medics, trust erodes

By Harry Siegel

From NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

It’s the second Eric Garner video that made me cry.

Not the one where Officer Daniel Pantaleo chokes Garner for 15 seconds before smashing his head into the sidewalk for 10 seconds as other cops hold down and cuff Garner, ignoring the pleas he issued with the last air in his lungs:

“I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe.”

It’s the video shot minutes later as Garner lies dying among men and women in uniforms, men and women who seemed not to give half a damn, that broke me down. Here’s the scene:

Small-town America rebels against 'police state' arsenal ~ By Leo Hohmann

Thousands of MRAP military vehicles like this one have been
distributed to police departments throughout the U.S. in recent years.

Law enforcement agencies across the country have quietly returned more than 6,000 unwanted or unusable items to the Pentagon in the last 10 years, according to a report by Mother Jones.

And the trend seems to be gaining steam since the August unrest in Ferguson, Missouri. That’s when many Americans got their first glimpse of camouflage-clad cops roving the streets in tanks and armored vehicles, blurring the lines between police and soldiers.

Recently, in response to a local outcry over aggressive policing tactics, San Jose, California’s police department announced plans to return its MRAP, and the Los Angeles school system police department has agreed to return its three grenade launchers. (Emphasis my own)

Whitehead said military recycling programs carry hidden costs and result in heightened risk for the community by transforming local police into extensions of the military.

Apparently, citizens are becoming uncomfortably aroused by the sight of military equipment and militarized police forces moving through their streets. Residents of Nampa, Idaho, a city with a population of 97,000, is one example, where citizens were disquieted enough to ask the city to return the military equipment.

"SWAT raids, which numbered about 3,000 a year in the early 1980s, now occur over 80,000 times per year across America," Leo Hohmann wrote in this article. Originally meant to help fight the drug war against well armed criminals, or help in active-shooter events, SWAT teams "are rolled out for the most routine police procedures such as serving warrants."

As noted here previously, even Gov. Jay Nixon (D-MO) was shocked that military equipment was being used by the Ferguson, MO. police department to quell unrest.   The question now could be if militarized police forces will be needed to handle the unrest should there be a full blown Ebola outbreak somewhere in America?

Five years ago, Massachusetts was considering this proposal: "Pandemic bill allows health authorities to enter homes, detain without warrant." (I was unable to determine if that bill was ultimately signed into law.)  But it adds a whole new dimension in to the argument about how militarized various state and federal agencies have become.  Remember the Bureau of Land Management raid on the Bundy Ranch last April?  Just sayin'...

Small-town America rebels against 'police state' arsenal
Citizens urge return of armored vehicles to Pentagon

By Leo Hohmann

Published: Sunday, October 5th, 2014

From wnd.com

Residents of an Idaho town are asking their city council to return an armored vehicle to the federal government and just say no to militarization.

John Whitehead

John Whitehead, president of The Rutherford Institute, said he was contacted by a group of residents from Nampa, Idaho, and asked to urge their elected leaders to send the town’s military-grade equipment back where it belongs — to the Pentagon. Of particular concern is a mine-resistant ambush protected vehicle, or MRAP, acquired with grants from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

The discussion of whether local police need machine guns, night-vision scopes or an armored vehicle needs to engage the entire community, and should not be unilaterally decided by the federal government, the military, or law enforcement, Whitehead said.

“Whenever this kind of armament is brought into a community, it should only be done with the knowledge and consent of the citizenry,” Whitehead, a constitutional attorney based in Charlottesville, Virginia, said in a statement released to WND.

ISIS militants take to social media to encourage Ferguson protesters to embrace Islamic extremism

One ISIS sympathiser calling himself Mujahid Miski, who claims to be from Minneapolis–Saint Paul but suggests he is now based in 'the horn of Africa', has led the campaign to encourage those taking part in the protests to embrace radical Islam.

In one message he tweets: 'So how is democracy treating you guys? #FergusonUnderIS #Ferguson.'

He adds: 'I thought u guys back in #Ferguson were supposed to be Free & that u had equal rights. I'd really like to know what changed? #FergusonUnderIS'.

Miski goes on to retweet dozens of messages by a Twitter user with the handle @AmreekiWitness, who claims to monitor and support the growth of radical Islam in the U.S.

As officers sat with guns pointed atop armored vehicles, the authorities used LRAD (Long Range Acoustic Device) crowd control systems to send out a painful noise to try and disperse the crowd

Oh, the irony! I was just telling a friend last night that I hadn't posted any stories about the situation in Ferguson, MO, because I didn't have enough information to make any kind of sense of the violence and the media coverage, let alone to be able to either defend the victim of a shooting by a police officer, or the police officer himself. Sadly, the tragedy itself of a dead young man, is the focus on the race of the young man, sparking anger among the black population of this city. Anyway, I told my friend there wasn't much I could discuss that most people weren't already aware of.

That being said, there was a significant part of the story of the Ferguson police shooting and subsequent demonstrations and riots that some people in the media are covering, and that is the use of militarized police units to quell the violence. The tactic of using militarized police is being criticized by pundits and politicians from both the left and the right. I imagine that both Dennis Kucinich and Rand Paul are by now having conniptions. Well, for sure, most of us do not want to live in a police state!

But now for the REAL irony that really hasn't hit the wires yet. Surplus equipment and grants have been fueling the militarization of the police for a few decades, but has been greatly expanded by the Obama administration, purportedly for fighting terrorism (foreign or domestic, you decide!).  However, here we have this story, where ISIS is using the social media to send messages of support to the people of Ferguson, and suggesting that they convert to Islam!

May I suggest that we start taking ISIS very, VERY seriously? They may already have forces in Ferguson, Missouri! If they do, then the same people that are bashing the use of militarized police forces to quell the public unrest because of an alleged social injustice, may be the same people lauding the federal government, and especially President Obama, for helping local police to be able to fend off a terrorist attack. Oh, the irony. Just sayin'...

From MailOnline via wnd.com

ISIS militants and their supporters are using social media to encourage protesters in Ferguson to embrace radical Islam and fight against the U.S. government.

Jihadists in Syria and Iraq and their sympathisers in the West have taken to Twitter to send messages of support to hundreds of demonstrators taking part in a ninth night of angry protests in the U.S. city following the shooting by police of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown.

The militants' tweets denounce local officers for the way they have attempted to quell the violence, make reference to historic acts of police brutality, and even use the hashtag #FergusonUnderISIS in an attempt to get angry young men in the city to declare allegiance to the Islamist group.

The news comes as footage purportedly taken from the scene of the Ferguson protests appeared to show one demonstrator marching along a street holding a sign reading 'ISIS is here'.
