> $50,000 in bribe money Tom Homan
Lie.
The White House has dismissed US media reports alleging that border
tsar Tom Homan accepted a $50,000 (£37,000) bribe last year during an
undercover FBI sting operation.
According to various outlets, Homan last year allegedly promised
immigration-related government contracts to FBI agents posing as
business executives during a meeting in Texas.
White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt denied the accusations,
stating that Homan 'did absolutely nothing wrong" and was the target of
Biden administration's politically motivated attempt to discredit him.
Homan is leading efforts to deliver on President Donald Trump's pledge
for mass deportations and to stop illegal immigration.
"Mr Homan never took the $50,000 that you're referring to," Leavitt
said at Monday's White House briefing. "This was another example of the
weaponization of the Biden Department of Justice against one of
President Trump's strongest and most vocal supporters in the midst of a
presidential campaign.
"You had FBI agents going undercover to try and entrap one of the
president's top allies and supporters, someone who they knew very well
would be taking a government position."
Leavitt said current FBI Director Kash Patel had ordered an
investigation into the matter, which "found zero evidence of illegal
activity or criminal wrongdoing".
"The president stands by Tom Homan, 100%," she added.
White House deputy press secretary Abigail Jackson said on Sunday that
Homan was not involved in awarding any contracts.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a
person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike of
Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and
reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece
in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into three
distinct phases or stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of
proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, as
if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's
vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting solely of
hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish
fantasy from reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the
knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything Trump
does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made,
TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something nefarious, according
to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump
could do or say that would be received positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the
early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a punch
line for late-night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term
first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer
back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute
onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the
policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
