Staff Reports
Last week, conservatives had a reason to break out the confetti when the Senate narrowly confirmed Kash Patel as the new FBI director. This week, the celebration continued as President Donald Trump made yet another bold move by appointing Dan Bongino as the FBI’s deputy director. It’s a match made in conservative heaven, prompting cheers from Republicans and likely some head-spinning among the left.
Trump took to Truth Social to announce the news with all the enthusiasm of a kid in a candy store, declaring Bongino’s appointment a significant win for law enforcement and American justice. With a resumé that boasts a Master’s in Psychology from CUNY and an MBA from Penn State, Bongino is quite the catch. His experience in the New York Police Department and as a Special Agent in the Secret Service further solidifies his credentials. He is also recognized for his successful podcasting career, which he is willing to sacrifice to serve in this vital role, treading the thin line between entertaining and defending the nation.

Kash Patel wasted no time praising Bongino, calling him a “warrior and lifelong public servant.” It’s hard to argue with that description, given Bongino’s hands-on experience tackling crime in one of New York’s toughest precincts and his devotion to protecting the country as a Secret Service agent. This kind of principled service is exactly what the FBI needs, especially in an era when so many believe the agency could use a dose of integrity and accountability.
Predictably, the left wasn’t too thrilled about this development. California Senator Adam Schiff and Illinois Senator Dick Durbin quickly emerged from the woodwork to lambast Bongino’s appointment, referring to him as nothing more than a “right-wing Fox personality” and labeling him a “conspiracy theorist” devoid of any credible FBI experience. Apparently, in their version of reality, having law enforcement experience and a dedication to the country isn’t enough. Instead, it seems they prefer a bureaucratic status quo that has shown itself to be more interested in political correctness than public safety.
As the Democrats hurl criticisms from their lofty perch, it’s clear the nomination of Bongino is more than just a personnel decision; it’s a strategic move by the Trump administration to emphasize a commitment to law and order. It represents a firm stance against the increasing loudness of the radical left, who seem to think that traditional values and tough law enforcement are concepts to be mocked and dismissed. With Patel at the helm and Bongino by his side, the future looks promising for conservatives who are ready to reclaim the integrity of institutions like the FBI from the clutches of ideological partisanship.
