NC trio votes to give FBI extra $300M for yuuuuge new Md. HQ
It appears the door-kickers at the FBI are one step closer to getting a new HQ — reportedly larger than the Pentagon – located in Democrat stronghold Maryland.
Never mind that we don’t have the money. Never mind that this was an over-blown, bloated, highly-expensive attempt to separate the FBI from the name J. Edgar Hoover – which adorns the current DC home of the FBI. Never mind that the agency takes tougher stances against Trump voters than it does against Hamas and Antifa supporters. Never mind all the door-kicking at the homes of folks who loitered on the Capitol grounds on January 6. They’re getting a brand new home from whence they can continue and advance their weaponization. :
[…] The shameful vote occurred on the same day that FBI agents appeared in force in the small town of Helmetta, New Jersey, to serve an arrest warrant for Gregory Yetman, who allegedly sprayed pepper spray toward Capitol Police in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6, 2021.
According to the town mayor, that show of force included heavy armor.
“A situation like this of course brings heightened anxiety — it’s not normal to see FBI agents and vehicles and tanks in your community,” Helmetta Mayor Christopher Slavicek said, according to USA Today.
Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia expressed disbelief over the FBI’s tactics.
“FBI manhunt and tanks for a guy who used pepper spray at police on Jan6?” Greene posted on X on Thursday. “They don’t do this for Antifa/BLM rioters or Ceasefire Now Pro-Hamas/terrorists insurrectionists or 1.8 million unknown illegal gotaways that came across our border or Epstein’s client list. Only J6’ers.” […]
A total of 70 Republicans sided with the Democrats on this one. (*Remind me AGAIN of the benefits of a GOP House majority.*)
Once again, we have a nice chunk of North Carolina Republican House members misusing their voting cards. (A ‘NO’ vote says YES to spending the extra money on this monstrosity for the FBI.) Here are the details:
That’s right — Murphy, Edwards, and McHenry.
And ole conservative Doc Murphy just notified everyone he’s running.
NOT my vote this time. Didn’t support in primary before. Didn’t believe a word of the ‘conservatism’ he was spouting.
Pls, pls, some conservative primary him.
He’s the biggest fraud in the east.
Pls Pls Pls Really? Judging by this vote alone Murphy understands the problem of a monstrous government.
Yeah, this vote shows he understands the monster and continues to feed the monster, just like his vote to keep the 87,000 new IRS auditors in the budget to prey on middle class taxpayers. Murphy is a big government Republican in Congress, just like when he pushed the Obamacare Medicaid expansion in the state legislature.
With the exception of Bishop, our entire Republican US House delegation from North Carolina is a joke and useless. Oh, I almost forgot–pathetic, too.
A Rasmussen poll earlier this year found that a majority of Americans agree with the assertion that the FBI has become “Biden’s personal gestapo”. FBI should be the abbreviation for “Follows Biden’s Instructions”. It is shameful that Murphy and the others voted for this money. Walter Jones would have never done that to us. We should also remember that Murphy voted to keep those 87,000 IRS auditors in the budget to prey on the middle class.
A good perspecitve on what the FBI has become is Dinesh D’Souza’s new documentary “Police State” and the trailer can be watched here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrbP1rJQ7DE
We are not becoming a police state. We’re already there. In this upside-down world, citizens at school board meetings are terrorists while Antifa thugs are protesters. Christians are fair game for persecution while Marxists propagandists on university campuses are force funded by our resources to brainwash our children. Government entities like the FBI are the instruments of force to make it all happen. Politicians like Murphy, McHenry, and Edwards are frauds. Our forefather founders of this country had to deal with these same societal ingredients. The big question is, how will this present-day generation react to these challenges.
Truly a revealing vote. The FBI cannot be more glaringly corrupt. If ever an agency was asking, nay begging, for a slapdown it’s the traveling Christopher Wray Clown Show. And Greg Murphy, our supposed Freedom Caucus defender of the people, here he is again making a fool of himself and his last time voters. I have to admit this one stunned me.
FBI agents dressed in military combat?? WTH”” Couple of them appear to be smiling!! Ha Ha looks a us!!
I’ve been mulling over something that’s been on my mind about this whole political scene. Sure, this board is fantastic for hashing out ideas and debating, but I can’t shake the feeling of, does any of this really matter? I mean, let’s be real – does anyone genuinely think Greg Murphy is going to lose? It’s like a rhetorical question with a unanimous “no” echoing in the background. He reads this board.
And then there’s Mark Robinson. I respect the guy, but let’s face it, he might be great with the “dairy queen people,” but is that going to be enough when the real political battles kick in? Democrats can be a tough crowd, and being personable might not be the only skill needed.
Dale Folwell, too. I think he’s fantastic, but deep down, do I think he stands a chance? Unfortunately, no. But that doesn’t mean I won’t cast my vote for him. Sometimes you’ve got to stick to your principles even if the odds aren’t in your favor.
And what about this idea of nominating a black person to sway black voters to the Republican side? Let’s be honest – expecting 50% of black voters to swing Republican just because of the candidate’s race seems overly optimistic. It’s a more complex issue that involves policies, outreach, and genuine understanding of the community’s concerns.
Now, let’s talk Trump. No denying he was a force during his presidency, but all this noise about the election and his polling numbers—surely we can’t ignore the potential challenges he might face in a general election. It’s like, yeah, he’s got that 35%, but can that translate to a win when the whole nation is watching?
In the end, I guess what I’m grappling with is the uncertainty of it all. It’s like we’re in this political rollercoaster, and while we can yell and debate, the outcome is still anyone’s guess. But you know what? I’ll keep on voting and engaging in these discussions because, hey, maybe our voices do matter in the grand scheme of things. Who knows, right? Let’s see how this political drama unfolds.
One of the FBI whistleblowers who exposed the rot and corruption within that agency has called the RINOs who voted for the $300 million new FBI headquarters “soulless demons”.

That is an apt description of these three knuckleheads.
Foxx & McHenry Vote NO with Dems to NOT impeach Myorkas.
Western NC, we had the same dilemma in East w/ Murphy!
Both need primaries and they need them badly. Mayorkas is helping the Mexican crime cartels get rich, and Foxx and McHenry have voted to let him keep doing it. They have betrayed Republican voters back home on a very major issue. They need to GO.
