Americans' trust in the once-mighty FBI -- as well as other intel and federal law enforcement agencies -- has fallen. And that's a good thing. Founding Fathers wouldn't have put blanket trust in the federal authorities, and neither should modern Americans. Besides, if anyone has been proven right over the years, time and time again, and time some more, it's been Donald Trump and his always-consistent, always-loud, always-critical call-out of the deep state as nefarious anti-American players. How right he was. And who would know better than Thomas Baker, former FBI special agent and author of the new, "The Fall of the FBI" -- who chats up the problems of this agency, as well as other federal entities, and then offers some solutions to gain best the trust of the American people.

If President Joe Biden really wanted to protect America from enemies, both foreign and domestic, he would be more concerned about China's takeover of the world than about gas stoves. But he's not. He's busily scolding and frightening Americans to stop driving, stop farming, stop eating meat -- and calling that national security. Mike Hewitt, retired rear admiral, offers some heart-wrenching testimony to the weakness of this White House and discusses how Americans might get through the next year of this feckless leadership. Hang in there, America. This puppet administration can't last forever.
