Our fearless federal investigators seized, documented and tendered as evidence against one Robert Morss, of Pennsylvania, all 1,032 plastic blocks of a set of incriminating Legos.<\/p>\n<p>But it turns out this blockbuster story was exaggerated. The FBI had to concede in court that the Legos were still in their box.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlease note that after a review of the photographs from the search, there <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ears to have been a miscommunication,\u201d prosecutors admitted, attaching a photograph of the offending toy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Lego set was in a box and not fully constructed at the time of the search, as pictured below.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Phew. Crisis averted.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not clear exactly why Lego was needed to construct a case against the \u00adrioters.<\/p>\n<p>But the farce suggests that the FBI is clutching at straws in its attempt to get the facts of the Capitol riot investigation to match the hysterical rhetoric we\u2019ve been hearing from the president on down.<\/p>\n<p>It is a travesty that dozens of suspects have been in jail without trial for almost six months on non-violent offenses.<\/p>\n<p>But weaponizing the FBI to go after Lego sets and grandmothers is perfectly justified, according to Joe Biden, because the Capitol riot was \u201cthe worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War\u201d as he told us in April. That\u2019s not hyperbole, at all.<\/p>\n<p>This week, in an inflammatory speech staged in Philadelphia, steps from where the US Constitution was signed in 1787, the president tried to conflate the Capitol riot with sensible election-integrity legislation being enacted in states like Texas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve said it before: We are facing the most significant test of our democracy since the Civil War. That\u2019s not hyperbole. Since the Civil War. The Confederates back then never breached the Capitol as insurrectionists did on January the 6th. I\u2019m not saying this to alarm you; I\u2019m saying this because you should be alarmed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whenever Biden tells you \u201cthat\u2019s not hyperbole,\u201d you know he\u2019s exaggerating. He\u2019s the maharajah of hyperbole. It wasn\u2019t preposterous enough to describe Georgia\u2019s common-sense voter ID measures as \u201cJim Crow\u201d voter suppression. He had to make up a whole new category of racism he called \u201cJim Eagle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe denial of full and free and fair elections is the most un-American thing that any of us can imagine, the most undemocratic, the most unpatriotic,\u201d he said in Philly before bringing up the \u201cKu Klux Klan.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" alt=\"President Joe Biden has done nothing but over exaggerate the perils of sensible voter laws being pushed from Republican states.&#10;\" class=\"wp-image-18817291 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/Joe-Biden1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/Joe-Biden1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/Joe-Biden1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/Joe-Biden1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/Joe-Biden1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2000 2000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>President Joe Biden has done nothing but over exaggerate the perils of sensible voter laws being pushed from Republican states.<br \/>\n<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Michael Reynolds \/ Pool via CNP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Most Americans support mandatory voter ID to ensure election integrity, which Biden and Nancy Pelosi and pals are fighting tooth and nail. A Monmouth poll last month put support for voter ID at 81 percent, including 62 percent of Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>Are they all Confederates and \u00adKlansmen?<\/p>\n<p>One-third of Americans also believe Biden\u2019s election victory was fraudulent, and they\u2019re not all Trump voters. That\u2019s the verdict of 38 percent of independents as well, according to a Monmouth poll. It\u2019s not a healthy situation and the best way to restore confidence in the electoral system is to reaffirm long-standing rules that were ditched during the pandemic, and ensure voters are who they say they are.<\/p>\n<p>You would think a president dedicated to unity would want to reassure voters that their elections are above board. Instead he pretends that asking people to write their driver\u2019s license numbers on their absentee ballots is racist.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s all phony and everyone knows it. A 10-year study by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that even the strictest voter ID laws don\u2019t stop voters. There is \u201cno negative effect on registration or turnout, overall or for any group defined by race, gender, age, or party \u00adaffiliation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the lies and hyperbole are a sign of panic from the Democratic Party. They know their radical policies stink. Most Americans reject open borders and bans on fossil fuels and critical race theory and gender fluidity.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats are terrified of a shellacking in the midterms next year. The only option is to keep tilting the electoral playing field. But they have no chance of passing their cynically named \u201cFor the People\u201d and John Lewis Voting Rights acts, federalizing state election laws. So they\u2019re pulling out all stops to subvert democracy.<\/p>\n<p>You saw it with the stunt this week in Texas when Democratic lawmakers fled the state on private jets to stop passage of a new election bill. Republicans have a healthy 83-67 majority in the Texas House so eventually they will have to go home, and the law will be passed. But so much for respecting the will of the voters.<\/p>\n<p>Biden also boasted he\u2019s sicced Attorney <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General<\/a> Merrick Garland on states trying to improve election integrity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAct.

Yet I intend to vote for Curtis Sliwa for mayor, and I suspect I am not the only one with similar \u2018progressive\u2019 views who will do so. He is an upfront law and order candidate, and rising crime is the major issue confronting the city. The Democratic party in NYC and NY state is utterly corrupt and ideologically bankrupt. Both the city and state have gone down the tubes under Democratic rule.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a former Democrat, Middlebrooks is \u201cthrough with the party on the local and state level, and possibly the national level as well, with the qualification that I would never vote Republican on the national level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He likely speaks for a lot of New Yorkers dismayed as they watch their beloved city deteriorate. Sliwa will have to work hard to get enough to cross party lines, but no one can doubt his bona fides on fighting crime.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And if Adams keeps hanging out with Gov. Cuomo, who is as much to blame for today\u2019s crime wave as anyone, he\u2019ll find his support slipping fast.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Weight_a_minute\"><\/span>Weight a minute<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s one thing for \u201cplus-sized\u201d social media influencers to complain about small airline seats or inadequate bath robes, but weight restrictions on bungee jumping are another matter altogether.
