Fox News Host Cheers On Kash Patel's Plans For Fbi Destruction

For years, Kash Patel, the MAGA provocateur, conspiracy theory-monger, and seller of pills he claims reverse the effects of Covid vaccines, who Donald Trump has announced as his pick to replace FBI director Chris Wray, has made his mission plain: He wants to crush the supposed Deep State that has conspired against Trump.

On Tuesday, the Department of Labor filed a proposed rule that could end the subminimum wage for disabled people—beginning the process of closing a loophole that can let companies pay disabled employees less than a dollar per hour.

A majority of council members found that that request did not meet the criteria for changing the types of structures that could be built on land that today is zoned for housing. “I don’t think this is a close question.

Interesting discussion with Brianna Keilar and Rep. Dan Goldman yesterday about the Hunter Biden pardon and what drove it.
