  1. You know someone lost an argument when they won’t even let the other person speak. It’s true in personal life and it’s true here

    1. I sure hope you’re talking about all the dirty house democrats not wanting to hear U.S. AG BARR’S answer to their baby hateful name calling at him. The democrat party is dead. They are now lead by no more than a hateful group of ANTI- SEMITICS, ANTI-CHRISTIAN, ANTI-AMERICAN, white men hating racist sexist female Muslims sworn to fight against AMERICA and ISRAEL for Al Qaeda. The squad mission have made their mission clear.
      Al-Qaeda members believe that a Christian–Jewish alliance is  conspiring to destroy Islam.
      As Salafist Jihadists, members of al-Qaeda believe that the killing of non combatants is religiously sanctioned.] Al-Qaeda also opposes what it regards as man-made-laws, and wants to replace them with a strict form of sharia law
      Omar and Tlaib has already called for an AMERICAN BOYCOTT ON ISRAEL.
      HAVE WE FORGOT THAT?.

  2. “Rayshard Brooks was sleeping in his car in a parking lot” The dude was passed out drunk in the drive-thru lane while out on parole and then attacked the cops, stole a taser, and fired it at the cops. Unbelievably flagrant dishonesty coming from that woman

  3. I would like to know why in the opening statement from Jordan was the video of the so-called peaceful protest which are really riots was cut out? Media should be unbiased. The least you can do is present the facts to the American people and allow them to make up their own conclusions. What your company or the associated press is doing is shameful and you clearly are not presenting the facts and drawing your own conclusions and narratives.

    1. Charlie Kirk has it on his YouTube channel. It’s hard to watch. Even more difficult to believe this is happening in America with the Democrats blessing.

    2. Its because the media or all but CBN Fox news and i think news max are not part of the democratic party they dont want Americans to think for ourselves because they are trying to push us to the one world government and make us like Venezuela

    3. Hey look! I just found the footage of the “peaceful protests “ next to the 15 minutes of video of Epstein killing himself…

    4. The reasoning was due a violation of rules. Apparently, they didn’t manage to submit the video within the 48 hours prior to the session. The chairman, however, apparently knew it was going to be played anyway as he commented on it during his opening statement prior to Mr Jordan’s statement and playing of the video. It is also apparent that the media coverage of this session knew it was going to be played and blocked the sound and video of it during the playing, but had other issues throughout the session where video and sound were not aired or blocked at the appropriate time.

      Just the facts.

  4. Accept for the two Republicans on the panel. The Dumo-cratic displayed the most unfair, childish, asinine behavior I have ever seen. This hearing was a total disgrace truly an embarrassment towards our American policies. They asked Barr questions but wouldn’t allow him to answer any in full. Democrats kept completing that they wanted their talking time back. Only so that they could finish crucifying this man. The Dumo-cratic are so silly and predictable. They are like broken down robots stuck on the same gear. This hearing was a total embarrassment. No one should be treated the way Barr was treated. It was a waste of time to watching. DISGUSTING!!!! 😡👎

  5. How do you like Democrat Socialism? PORT, NY, CHI, ATL, WA, DC Minneapolis just to mention a few. All Democrat leadership doing the same thing…..nothing. Just like the third world isn’t it. Democrat Mayors ordering Police to stand down while the city is looted, burned. citizens beaten in the streets, monuments destroyed, police stations actually taken over and allowed to be occupied. The Governors do nothing as well. Antifa and BLM (founder is a Marxist) are the criminals behind this.

    Joe has recently stated that Police need to be defunded If Joe Biden is elected America will be on fire.

    Biden wants to “transform America” If you vote for Joe Biden, a far left platform.. Joe will follow the radical left’s agenda or Joe won’t get the support (and he is) of Nancy Pelosi, Bernie Sanders, llhan Omar, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Val Demings, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Valerie Jarrett,. Rashida Talib, Stacy Abrams, Ayanna Pressley, Nancy Pelosi, Sheila Jackson Lee, Tom Perez, Maxine Waters, Al Green.

    This is the core of the socialists leftist wing of the Democrat party and are firmly in charge not old , confused Joe Biden. Biden will be a puppet to a liberal VP, Pelosi, Schumer, AOC plus 3 and the rest..

    Democrat Platform & Goals:

    *Citizenship for 20 to 50 million illegal aliens, DACA, TPS recipients and their families with a cost of billions.

    *Free Healthcare for Illegal aliens, DACA, TPS recipients (taxpayer funded with one estimate at 52 trillion) Joe Biden endorsed.

    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/06/27/all_dem_candidates_raise_hand_when_asked_if_illegal_immigrants_should_get_health_care_coverage_at_debate.html

    *Massive tax increases. All Democrat candidates have committed to tax increases of various amounts. Biden has stated he will raise taxes.

    *Sanctuary Cities & States. Joe Biden supports sanctuary cities.

    https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/16/biden-conservatives-trump-132214

    *Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Green new deal.(which would create massive unemployment, 100,000 jobs estimated in the transportation industry alone.) Joe Biden supports.

    *De-fund & terminate border patrol & ICE.

    *De-fund Police. Kamala Harris called it “re-imagine law enforcement” in the senate. Biden recently stated his endorsement of “redirecting law enforcement finds.” Biden will do what the far left wants.

    *Ending of all private / employer based health care. “Medicare for all”, Feds run everything.

    *Illegal Aliens eligible for welfare & food stamps. (Elizabeth Warren’s plan adopted) Endorsed by Biden.

    *Reparations for race’s harmed by Caucasians. Joe Biden committed to support Sheila Jackson Lee’s reparations bill in the House. Basically a tax will be levied on all Caucasians in America. (you can’t make this stuff up)

    https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/05/2020-democrats-pledge-support-for-reparations-at-al-sharpton-led-convention.html

    *Free college for all, including illegal aliens (taxpayer funded with estimates in the billions. Bernie Sanders plan adopted.

    *Decriminalization of illegal entry into our country.

    *Open Borders.

    *End all deportations of illegal aliens, if you get here, you stay. Bernie’s website calls it a “moratorium” on deportations.

    *Drivers Licenses for illegal aliens (already happening in states with Democrat leadership. Biden endorsed

    *Late term abortions up to 9 months.

    * Destruction and erasing our history.

    Democrats want to make this election all about President Trump. NOT their platform & Goals and for obvious reasons.

    1. Carol.

      Well done.

      Please keep posting far and wide especially on MSM sites if you are able.

      Fair minded middle Democrats and Independants especially need to read your post.

      In the meantime keep up the good fight.

      It will be worth it if the Dimwits are prevented from taking power in November.

      Cheers KAG 2020 and Beyond.

  6. Around 50:00 the blonde woman talks about government surveillance on citizens, when it was Obama who signed the USA Freedom Act and renewed parts of the Patriot Act which gives the government permission to spy on every citizen’s internet browsing and phone calls with no probable cause.

    1. True Vanilla.

      She also conveniently forgets to mention that it was the Obama cabal that ILLEGALY survielled American citizens in an attempt to PREVENT an American citizen from becoming President and then REMOVE him from office once elected!

      The whole case and subsequent turmoil to the country is based on the the very fact of the ILLEGAL ACTIONS of the previous Government in conjunction with the Democrat Party Leadership and the power brokers who control them.

      I doubt that any one on the Left will ever admit that.

      This is why it’s imperative that Trump and the Republicans are returned to office in November.

      Otherwise this lawlessness will only escalate.

      Imagine what the Democrats will do to get revenge for having been exposed should they win?

      Not just to POTUS and his team, but to ANYONE who supports him!

      The thought is truly frightening.

      Cheers KAG 2020 and Beyond.

    1. Because it was stupid and had absolutely no relevance whatsoever to the proceedings taking place. I know this because I heard it.

    2. So you are a pissed off Bernie Bro.

      If you call this montage of riots peaceful then I would be horrified to see your idea of non peaceful.

      Fool.

    3. By the way buttman.

      If you think defunding the police was irrelevant to the hearing then you lied about having watched it.

      Go back AND LISTEN AGAIN.

    4. They censor it on CNN too, and all the others (except Foxnews) Its the playbook. Lots of the public never see the riots

  7. Peaceful Protests? In 1928 Jozsef Pogany was sent to the US by Stalin to bring the American Communist party in line with policies from Moscow. Under the pen name John Pepper he wrote “American Negro Problems”. In 1935 James Ford wrote “The Negroes in a Soviet America”. Both books discuss the exploitation of race relations as the most fragile portion of the American fabric that can be used toward the goal of communist revolution. In 1958 former member of Communist Party, Manning Johnson wrote “Color, Communism and Common Sense” as a warning that Communists were only interested in using African Americans “as cannon fire in a bloody revolution to destroy America”, and not necessarily to improve their condition. These and other Communist publications discuss strategy for overthrowing American democracy that is so strikingly similar to what is going on today, that it can’t be ignored. Wake up America, don’t be used.

    1. Auser Meg.

      Thanks for your post.

      This is alarming information and I doubt very few are aware of.

      For this reason could you please repost your comments far and wide, especially on MSM sites where African Americans and Independants need to be made aware before they vote.

      The Communists themselves are not the only Political force that has shamefully used the Black and minority communities for political gain.

      The Democrats are equally guilty and continue to do so to this day.

      Fortunately many smart people of colour who have always been fooled by the Dimwits into believing that the DNC are the only ones that care about them are becoming aware of another reality.

      Your post will help further this new reality for them as the Democrats are firmly committed to establishing the Communist manifesto under the guise of Socialist Democracy.

      Keep up the good fight Sir.

      Cheers KAG 2020 and Beyond VOTE DJT and RED all the WAY.

  8. They could have just put a cardboard cutout of him in there, with the way all they did was talk over him. Next to it could have been a mirror so they could admire themselves as they enjoyed the sounds of their own voices. 🤮 So terrible.

  9. “You waited to talk to me like this?, you didn’t need to wait so long” lol
    Bravo to AG Barr for his tact and restraint. May his leadership allow law and order to prevail in this great country 🙏

  10. Hilarious.

    Nadler said he expected sincere answers from A.G. Barr.

    He should have added that is IF the empty headed, blow hard excuses for Democrat members shut up long enough for him to have a chance!

    The Dimwits are nothing more than tantrum throwing toddlers that even though they have chocolate cake smeared all over them, keep repeating that they never ate any.

    A. G. Barr on the other hand, is the upstanding, honourable man of the Law who has to suffer a day at preschool because the teachers are all away.

    The Republicans on the team, just as they are during every occasion of having to defend the truth, were terrific.

    I sure know who I would want defending me in a case.

    And this would be any single one of them from Jim to Doug, and all of them in between.

    One of the Democrats wanted to know why there were no black people in the DOJ.

    His performance along with all the other Black Democrat reps who attacked Barr today is the reason why.

    They just don’t cut it.

    KAG 2020. VOTE TRUMP AND RED all the WAY.

    Joe has recently stated that Police need to be defunded (“redirected”) If Joe Biden is elected America will be on fire…..only Biden won’t send federal officers.

    Biden stated he’s going to “transform America” If you vote for Joe Biden it will be for a far left platform..

  12. The Democrats heard he was gonna let them have it, so this a typical Democratic move, don’t let them speak. I hope everyone wakes up and NO Democrats are elected. Each one that wouldn’t let him speak should have their job taken because they have no clue what their actual job is…to serve the people who elected them. But they are acting like we work for them.

    1. Pat.

      Well said.

      Apart from not allowing A. G. Barr speak, they are also very good at firing off accusations about him and then loudly declaring that he is guilty of the behaviour despite his not being able to respond let alone defend himself!

      Totally disgusting.

      Hopefully most fair minded people recognise all their dirty tactics and just dismiss the air headed, useless Dimwits for what they are.

      It’s such a pity that so much of tax payers money is wasted on them.

      Keep calling them out and keep fighting for the future of the free world.

      This is what is at stake in November.

      Cheers.

  13. Bible noted that

    Numbers 14:37

    these men who were responsible for spreading the bad report about the land were struck down and died of a plague before the Lord.

  14. When you ask someone a question, but do not want to listen to the answer, you are actually more of a bully, than someone wanting to get to the truth or facts. These hearings are an excellent example of so called adults being a bully. They should be ashamed of themselves. Any reasonable thinking person with a conscience would be. But maybe we are asking too much from them.
