A Byte or Two

FEMINISM: “No woman should be authorized to stay at home and raise her children. Society should be totally different. Women should not have that choice, precisely because if there is such a choice, too many women will make that one.” ~Simone de Beauvoir (1908-1986), French feminist

IRAN: Israel says Iran violated the cease fire on Sunday, launching missiles that the Israeli defense system intercepted. The attack came hours after Trump said in an interview on “Meet the Press” that the United States was “very close” to securing a deal with Iranian officials.

LIBERAL LOGIC: CLICK https://x.com/TheCarolineMc/status/2063803200902168769 [:45] to hear a Graham Platner supporter dismiss his Nazi tattoo as no big deal.

MEDIA: In 2025, Bari Weiss took over CBS News with the goal of making it less biased. After she fired 60 Minutes host, Scott Pelley, he said Weiss had actually asked the staff why the public didn’t trust the media any more, whining, “Why do you think so? Do you have a poll? Is there market research? What are you talking about? Because we certainly didn’t believe that.”

PATRIOTISM: @BuzzPatterson posted – When I was the Air Force Military Aide to Bill Clinton (and again, that was not a political appointee position, it was a military assignment), I served daily with very young staffers who were appointed because of their efforts in the campaign or who their parents were.

I really enjoyed interacting with most of them. Bright kids from Ivy League school. But their naïveté and lack of experience showed. Dramatically.

One day I was walking across the White House “campus,” the “18 acres,” and I encountered one of the young female staffers. We chatted for a bit, and she asked me, “So, why did you join the military? Were your career options limited or were you forced to by a judge?”

I wanted to throat punch her, but I said, “No, ma’am, I volunteered.”

She asked, “But why? Lack of education? No other options?”

“No, ma’am, I volunteered. Really. Not only do I have a Bachelor’s but also an MBA.”

She asked again, “Then why?”

I shook my head and walked away. They simply can’t understand a higher calling. They are incapable of understanding that another human who would selflessly serve.

Therein lies much of the Democrat vs. military disconnect. They’re missing the patriotism chip.

TRUMP: CLICK https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/2063633787343282240 [1:25] to watch POTUS “comment” (loudly) about California’s blatant election fraud. CLICK https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/2063634419106115887 [:50] to watch him end the interview.

Schifty’s Timeline

In 2003, then-Congressman Adam Schiff and his wife bought the house shown above, which is in Potomac, Maryland. On their mortgage application, they claimed the property as their primary and principal residence. In 2009, 2011, 2012, and 2013, they refinanced the Potomac, Maryland, home, each time citing it as their principal residence. N.b., Mortgage rates on primary residences are more favorable than they are on secondary residences or vacation properties.

In 2009, the Schiffs bought a one-bedroom and one-bathroom condo in the Burbank, California, condominium shown above. In 2020, the Schiffs refinanced their condo mortgage, listing it as that as their primary residence to get a more favorable mortgage rate.

On December 13, 2018, during an interview with CNN, Rep. Schiff stated, “No one is above the law, not even the president of the United States.”

On September 30, 2019, in a discussion about possible impeachment proceedings, Schiff emphasized that no one, including the president, is above the law.

On July 8, 2020, Schiff stated, “No one is above the law, not even the President of the United States. Nor are they immune from congressional oversight or criminal investigation.”

On October 17, 2021, Schiff, now a member of the Jan. 6 committee, stated, “No one is above the law.”

On March 3, 2022, Schiff reiterated, “We need to uphold that idea that no one is above the law, including former presidents.”

In 2023, while Schiff was running for the U.S. Senate, it came out that he had claimed both homes as primary residences. His Senate campaign said it was okay, “because they are both occupied throughout the year.” An insider revealed that Schiff is “rarely at his California apartment.” FYI: It is illegal to claim two homes as primary residences simultaneously for mortgage or tax purposes.

On October 25, 2024, Schiff again stated, “No one is above the law.”

On November 25, 2024, now Senator-elect, Schiff stated, “No one is above the law.”

On March 5, 2025, in Senate floor remarks, Schiff said the justice system should ensure “no one is above the law or beyond its reach.”

On April 7, 2025, Schiff highlighted the importance of the principle that “no one, not even a president, is above the law.”

On July 15, 2025, news broke that Fannie Mae’s Financial Crimes Division had sent a criminal referral to the DOJ regarding Schiff’s mortgage shenanigans, requesting further investigation.
