FBI Lambasted on Twitter After Ridiculous Statement on Synagogue Hostage Situation
Give me a break!


The FBI has long had its fair share of controversial moments, and the scrutiny the Bureau has received over the course of its history is astounding.
The idea that this is our nation’s most prestigious law enforcement agency is once again coming under attack this week, after a radical-Islamic terrorist took several people hostage in a Texas Synagogue on a Jewish holy day.
That’s when this gem of a statement was made:
“We do believe from our engaging with this subject that he was singularly focused on one issue, and it was not specifically related to the Jewish community. But we’re continuing to work to find motive,” FBI Special Agent in Charge Matt DeSarno said at a press conference.
This tone-deaf misinterpretation of how hostage situations work, (as the targeting of a synagogue was the leverage not the motive), had Twitter users absolutely blasting the FBI.
The FBI is too busy planning, executing, and covering up crimes to hunt actual terrorists.

True enemies of America are paying close attention to the fact the FBI is hunting down Capitol paraders and DOJ considers Republicans a domestic terror threat. No doubt this radical hostage-taker has been on FBI radar but they are too busy raiding the homes of J6 trespassers.

putting aside the absurdity of asking us to ignore the choice of venue, the choice of victims, that it was done on a Saturday specifically, and that it was apparently done on behalf of a rather outspoken anti-Semite …
this seems an unusually speedy determination by the FBI. https://t.co/rDE48nwUYc

Is this the same FBI that said the Bernie Bro who shot up the Republican baseball practice just chose a random field and had no political motives whatsoever? https://t.co/t5AyODMPJA

The news will certainly become a part of the national narrative this week, particularly as the January 6th riot cases continue to come to their court-inspired conclusions.

Secret Service Shamed After Drunk Agents Assault Cab Driver in South Korea
There is a history of poor behavior from the Secret Service during Democratic administrations.


You can tell a lot about a White House by the extracurricular nonsense that hits the press surrounding it.
For instance, after one of President Joe Biden’s dogs began biting random people on the grounds, we started hearing murmurs of just how terse and stressful the place had become, with dog behavior experts suggesting that the mood at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue might have a lot to do with the aggression.
This week, the Biden administration beget more bad behavior, but this time it wasn’t from one of the First Pets.
Two U.S. Secret Service agents in South Korea were sent stateside ahead of President Biden’s arrival following their involvement in an off-duty alcohol-related incident.
The two agents, whose identities have not been made public, are on their way back to Washington, D.C. where they will face disciplinary action, a source familiar with the matter told Fox News.
Both agents apparently became intoxicated while not on duty. One of the agents then got into an altercation with a cab driver.
There could be more trouble coming, as well.
In South Korea, officials send mediators to the scene of low-level disputes and then determine if criminal charges would be filed.
One of the agents was interviewed by authorities and no charges have been filed.
The government released one of its usual, dry, boilerplate-esque missives.
“The Secret Service is aware of an off-duty incident involving two employees which may constitute potential policy violations,” USSS chief spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told Fox News. “We have very strict protocols and policies for all employees and we hold ourselves to the highest professional standards.”
There is a history of poor behavior from the Secret Service during Democratic administrations, with a notable incident having occurred in 2012, involving Barack Obama’s agents and a Colombian prostitute.
