My grandfather was a cop from about 1935 to 1980 - including his time in the Navy. Most of his opinions of the Fibbies were expressed in Arabic swear words.

Dad was a cop from 1973 to the mid 90's when he transitioned to city management. He didn't have anything good to say about the Fibbies, and agreed with the NYC Detective who said 'They name streets after the FBI - one way.'

Joyful news that Bongino is now the #2 pit bull at the FBI. If I was Bongino's and Patel's handler I'd underfeed them a little bit. Not to imply those two can or should be "handled".

Happy birthday. Ibuprofen and low impact PT. You can't quit PT. You'll rust.

Happy Birthday! I think that Mr. Bongino is the outsider's outsider with absolutely no Fs to give which is absolutely what is needed. IMO FBI and FEMA should be reduced to the status of nationwide advisory boards. With possible monetary distribution in the case of FEMA.

Happy Birthday! “THE usual salutation to a man upon his birth day among the ancient Romans was Multos et Foelices; in which they wished him many happy returns of it.”

The Pink Gorilla Technique Lives!

In Peru, it’s common for gift-givers to dress up in costume to surprise someone, so when two women showed up at a house in Lima on Valentine’s Day accompanied by a giant, walking, “stuffed” capybara, the recipient opened his door wide

+The costumed terna (undercover officer) rushed inside and jumped the man as several other uniformed officers stormed the door and aided in the arrest.

It was the Escuadron Verde (Green Squad) of the federal police, and the raid got not only the wanted man, but a significant quantity of marijuana, and 1774 packets of cocaine.

“If we had not dressed up as this character,” said Colonel Tipto of the Peruvian National Police, “they would not have opened the door.”

The officer stayed in costume all the way to the police station, where the unnamed man was processed and photographed for the media and online posts.

The fox pic was me last year. Happy Birthday!

The last month has certainly been chaotic, but a lot of it comes down to "we'll see how it pans out long term." I am cautiously optimistic though, and the blend of outsider/knows which way is up that Bongino brings certainly contributes on that.
