An Uncomfortable Change in Perspective

An Uncomfortable Change in Perspective

July 20, 2026 | Sundance | 162 Comments

I would strongly suggest interested readers or researchers to go back and look carefully at the very public comments from Senate Intelligence Community Vice-Chairman Mark Warner, as they relate to the seizure of Fulton County, GA, election records.   What you might notice forms the background of an uncomfortable change in perspective.

In nearly all of Warner’s remarks, his main argument centered on opposing DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s presence at the Fulton County election records warehouse. He wasn’t worried about the FBI seizing the records; rather, he was deeply concerned about Gabbard observing the seizure.

Here’s part of the bigger problem.

When wrongdoing, fraud, corruption, or criminal activity occurs within a federal agency, including the Intelligence Community, the FBI is the institution tasked with investigating it.

That’s the problem.

People ask repeatedly, why has there been no accountability for the obvious corruption?

Perhaps we really don’t want to accept the obvious answer.

The FBI is doing corrupt, criminal and fraudulent stuff because the institution of the FBI is comprehensively corrupt. As a consequence, they are allied -directly or through willful blindness- with operatives in other agencies doing criminal, corrupt and fraudulent stuff.

Think about “security clearances.” Which agency or institution determines the outcomes of Security Clearance reviews or investigations? Who is responsible for approving or denying security clearances? The same FBI.

The same FBI agency who took possession of Hillary Clinton’s missing emails, Huma Abedin/Anthony Weiner’s laptop and Hunter Biden’s laptop. The same FBI agency who took custody of Jeffrey Epstein’s safe contents. The same FBI agency who raided James O’Keefe to retrieve the Ashley Biden diary. That’s the same FBI agency now with custody of the Fulton County election evidence.

The same agency who investigated the J6 pipe bombing, the Las Vegas mass shooting, the various Trump assassination attempts and even the TWA-800 explosion. That’s the same agency that seemingly cannot stop Antifa terrorist attacks yet can pour over 1,500 agents into a J6 investigation.

The FBI now has the physical ballots and machines from the Fulton County election offices.

Do we think the FBI wants honest elections?… that could result in larger ranks of honest, elected officials?… that could then hold oversight over the FBI?

Do we really think valid and secure elections are in the interests of a corrupt FBI organization?

While leading the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and overseeing the revocation of security clearances from dozens of career intelligence operatives, Tulsi Gabbard was in a unique position to uncover the motives and intentions of the FBI as a governmental institution.

FBI agents and analysts were assigned to desks inside the ODNI.

Do you remember the leaks against Tulsi Gabbard?

Perhaps now we can contextualize why Tulsi Gabbard was in Fulton County, GA.  And, more importantly, why the SSCI was going bananas when they found out she was there.

Senate Intelligence Committee Vice-Chairman Mark Warner was not apoplectic the FBI was in Fulton County, Georgia, taking control of election machines and ballots.  Warner likely already knew what the FBI was doing there.  The same motive and intent behind all the mysteriously missing laptops (Clinton, Abedin, Weiner, Awan, Biden) of evidence that seemingly vaporized from the public psyche.

No, Senator Mark Warner was apoplectic because Tulsi Gabbard followed the FBI to Fulton County, to watch them take custody of evidence with the motive to watch their intent.

The FBI was forced into action because Garland Favorito was annoyingly and methodically winning the painstakingly slow legal arguments, and there was a full summer of concern before the next election was scheduled.  Someone was going to be looking at those raw election ballots, those physical receipts, records and factual tabulation outcomes.  The FBI took over.

Do you remember when Fulton County commission chair, Robb Pitts, said at a press conference he received a phone call –two days before the FBI served a criminal warrant to seize 2020 election documents– to warn that he, Georgia’s secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, former Raffensperger deputy Gabriel Sterling and others in the state were at risk of imminent arrest by federal agents. {SOURCE} Robb Pitts was tipped off by someone in DC.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard said she went to Fulton County, to watch events as approved by the White House. There is every reason to believe her statement.  Recently, there was a reported considerable disparity between what Acting DNI Pulte wanted President Trump to outline in his speech on election manipulation, and what the White House insiders were comfortable with {SOURCE}. The final outcome within the Trump speech was ‘smoothed’ by the Intelligence Community.

If we modify our perspective to consider the DNI was not a participant to law enforcement activity, but rather the DNI was bearing witness to a crime taking place; then suddenly, Senator Mark Warner’s apoplexy makes a lot more sense.

Bath remo update

Have not done anything on completion since last post. The only thing done is the purchase of the new toilet about 2 weeks ago which is sitting in the spare bedroom in the box yet. Will install when the moon and stars are lined up correctly.

Made a final decision on the vanity. Purchasing this one https://www.homedepot.com/p/24-in-W-x-16-in-D-x32-in-H-2-Doors-Bathroom-Vanity-in-White-with-White-Ceramic-Sink-COM-US10YWP-61E-410/322328426#see-more-details.

Went with this one as it has the ceramic sink top with bowl. Read too many drawbacks of cultured and engineered marble. My daughter has a vanity with cultured marble top and has a stain she can not remove. She does not particularly care for it. Ceramic is an age old product.   

What I will do with the vanity when I install it is raise it off the floor about 3/16 of an inch and seal the bottom with silicone caulk and make sure the floor panel is properly ventilated to circulate air under the floor panel. I will also purchase a drip pan to place on the floor of the cabinet to catch any leaks that may occur over time.

Bath remo [bath cabinet debate]

Thinking of just leaving it like it is. When I cut the bottom half off I cut it on an angle with the angle going down to the back, The front portion has a face plate of about 8 to 10 inches down from the top. Looking at the cabinet you can not see the plumbing until you kneel down to look. I put the new flooring down where the old cabinet set on the floor. I will just finish the baseboard and shoe molding where the cabinet was. Put on a new coat of paint on the cabinet and wall area that became exposed from the bottom section removal. 

Wall hung sinks have the bottom section exposed. They do make vanities with only the top portion.  https://www.homedepot.com/p/Domani-Stella-49-in-Single-Sink-White-Washed-Oak-Floating-Bath-Vanity-with-White-Cultured-Marble-Top-Assembled-SL48P2-WO/300851618

My cabinet is 24 inches wide.

Just the bottom section of my old cabinet had water damage.

I can always just remove the top and install a new vanity top with bowl at a later date.

Floating bath vanity will look just fine.

Paint it up and be done with it.

Bath remo [ time involved]

Started Jan 27, today is June 19. 5 months so far.

Maybe another month and I may be done. 

Git-er-done eventually. 

Got a couple bedrooms that needs their rug replaced with quick lock flooring. Will think about doing that for next project. Only cost involved there is the flooring. Can probably do a room for about $300.00.

Bath remo update [debating on cabinet]

Hall bath is finished up to the point of toilet and vanity to be installed.

Debating on buying a cabinet with cultured marble top with cabinet made  with MDF board because of price, This is not a high budget project.

I would prefer a cabinet made with wood. They are in the cost range of $400.00 and up. That price range is out of my budget range.

So I am considering building my own wood cabinet. The only tool I really need to buy is a 35 MM forstner bit kit for the hidden hinges which cost about $25.00.

I figure I can do a 24 inch wooden cabinet all painted up for for about  $125.00 or so. Then buy vanity top separately Which is in the $100.00 or so range.

It is not that difficult to cut and fit boards and make doors to size. 

Why a solid wood bath cabinet? Moisture infiltration difference between MDF board and wood.

Bath remo update

Working on hall bath yet. Already removed toilet, removed bottom portion of vanity leaving top portion there to have use of wash bowl,  scraped the adhesive off floor, poured self leveler, opened up wall and assembled and installed cabinet, filled back in drywall around cabinet edges and applied joint compound and sanded.

What is left to do. Install flooring, install flooring sills on two door openings, elevate toilet flange, put baseboard and shoe molding back on sealing the perimeter of flooring with silicone caulk, apply trim on new cabinet edges, install new toilet, Touch up paint around new cabinet, remove top, portion of vanity, install new vanity with new vanity top and wash bowl, reconnect vanity plumbing, 

Then do a final punch out and be done with it. 

New toilet in other bath room has not plugged since started using two flush system. # 2 then  flush, wipe then flush.

Hall toilet was always a leaker

The hall toilet has been a leaker since I moved in here. I have taken out the toilet and replaced the wax seal multiple times. Then after awhile it starts leaking again.

When I removed the toilet this last time a week or so ago to do the remo I discovered the toilet bolts were not connected to the flange. Why is that I asked "I"? So I moved on doing other work in the bath.

Yesterday I was down working on cleaning the surface of the flange to prepare it for putting on a flange extension to bring it up to the proper height. I looked down at the flange and seen something does not look right. I pulled out my ruler to measure to the center of the flange to where the toilet bolts are to go and discovered when they done the original plumbing the toilet flange was twisted and not in the proper position for the toilet flange bolts to be far enough in on the slot for a secure connection. The toilet flange bolts were about 1/2 inch or less from the entry slot in the flange. Previously the toilet flange bolts were set in that position and with an un-level floor the toilet jostled around and the bolts slipped out from underneath the flange causing the toilet to have to much movement breaking the wax seal and causing a leak.

Sooo, I have already leveled the floor with self leveler and need to put on a flange extension to bring the flange above the new floor level. I will be using this for the flange extension. https://www.homedepot.com/p/JONES-STEPHENS-7-in-O-D-ABS-Water-Closet-Toilet-Flange-Ring-fits-Over-4-in-PVC-DWV-Pipe-C51403/315698865 

You can see the flange bolt slots in the link. I will properly seal and connect it to the existing flange setting the flange bolt slots in the proper position for a secure  toilet bolt connection. 

Hopefully no more leaks after this after all these years.

I have no idea why I did not see the problem in the past.

Bath remo update

The only thing I did since last post is caulk under the door jambs. 

I figure about another month to finish hall bath.  Some days I work, some days I don't.

By the time I am done I will have about $2,000.00 in just material for the bath remo. Just thought of another idea today, Install a built in cabinet about 14 inches wide x 60 inches tall in the hall bath. Buried in the wall is an old duct work shaft large enough for the cabinet. Found a 14 inch wide x 60 inch tall cabinet today for about $150.00. It is a free standing cabinet but I will slide it into the wall cavity after I open it up. 

What would be a contractor quote to do this remo? $6,000.00, $8,000.00, $9,000.00 ?

Toilet plugging possible reason

Toilet paper and #2 flushed at the same time could be too much for the drain to take. 

Do your #2 flush then wipe and flush the toilet paper separately.

Possible remedy for low gallons per flush toilet problem

Apparently when you drop a big log in the toilet the weight and length creates a problem for the log to pass over the high point of the drain or where ever the log jam is in the toilet. 

I can think of two remedies. Double flush or if that does not work have something available to break up the log into smaller pieces before flushing.

Got to do what you got to do to get that dodo down the drain.

new toilet problem

The new toilet came as a low gallons per flush toilet. Govyment mandated

Has not even been two weeks in operation and it plugged last night. Had to get out the toilet drain snake and unplug it. Apparently not enough water to flush the  through the toilet. 

I was going to buy the same model for the hall toilet. Not now I aint. Going to purchase a speed [jet] flush model. It sets two inches lower than the new one but that is alright as the current hall toilet sets at 17 inches high and the one I am purchasing sets at 19 inches high.

May end up being better at two inches lower than the new one for shorter people to use.

Remo and doing this & that

Have not done much on bathroom remo since last post. Stripped the adhesive off hall bath floor,  Left hall toilet in for now until time to self level floor, decided to replace the hall vanity and sink top with a culture marble unit, maybe replace the sink fixtures. Finished up some work in bath and vanity area where I replaced the floor and toilet. Was not much, I installed 2 transition strips, one from bedroom carpet to new floor and one from new floor to carpet under closet door. Still have some final caulking to do under door jambs which flooring directions called for using silicone caulk, I got white paintable silicone for that which is being delivered Friday.

Yesterday I cut a resoling sheet for my shoes and installed those with adhesive. Today I done touch up gluing around the outside edges where needed. When I glued the resole on I placed them on and old pillow and placed a 50 pound bag of self leveler on them. The pillow allows the soles to compress on to the contour of the shoe bottom. The soles  of my shoes got worn to no tread on them. Do not want to fall because of slick shoe soles.

Other than that I have been relaxing.
