Election: Crying Capitol Cop Joins CNN

A Quick Hit from Ace, Michael Fanone, the Capitol Police officer who spent so very much time on CNN talking about the "insurrection," has, as predicted, resigned from his job to take a job with... CNN, the Child Nookie Network.

We need to talk about this issue seriously: We now have a regime in which anyone who acts as a useful political actor for the Democrat Party -- even a criminal one, as in the case of James Comey, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, James Clapper, or John Brennan -- is 100% guaranteed a high paying job on CNN or MSNBC.

The media is a serious corrupting force and they're increasingly brazen about it. They might as well straight-up make the promise: Help the Democrat Party win an election and we'll give you a $200,000 contributor contract.

Robert Spencer, Washington Post, Leftist Generals Stoke Hysteria About a 2024 ‘Insurrection’  . 'Wold Howling' at Am Think reports it as Three Retired Generals Loudly Demand A Military Coup In 2024.

. . . the Three utter a sentence I never expected to come out of the mouths of our military leadership: “[T]he military cannot wait for elected officials to act....”

That’s a stunning statement from anyone who understands our military history and our Constitution. The single most basic rule of our military is that it is wholly and completely under civilian control. So, what would the Three have the military do unilaterally?

Among other things, they argue that the military should undertake “intensive intelligence work” at every military base to “remove” those people they define as potential mutineers—i.e., Trump voters. This would be the U.S. military’s first ideological purge, one consistent with the old Soviet Union. Maybe Milley and Austin will install “political officers” in each unit.
