Staff Reports
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has once again demonstrated its unparalleled ability to overcomplicate even the simplest tasks. After four long years of what can only be described as federal incompetence, the Bureau finally revealed that the elusive January 5th pipe bomber is approximately five-foot-seven. This new “breakthrough” in the ongoing manhunt has all the sophistication and urgency of an episode of an unwatchable true crime series. Meanwhile, the Bureau has comfortably apprehended hundreds of individuals who wandered through the Capitol on January 6th, identified simply by their choice of footwear or that charming beanie they decided to wear.
One has to wonder why it took half a decade for the FBI to release a basic height estimate for someone planting explosives outside the Democratic National Committee headquarters—this is not exactly rocket science. By now, one might assume that the FBI would have access to advanced technology like rudimentary surveillance cameras! Despite boasting about their capability to capture hundreds over a piece of red tape, the Bureau seems about as successful at tracking down this pipe bomber as a cat chasing its own tail. What’s next? Weekly updates on the color of the suspect’s socks?
The situation only escalates further in light of other debacles the FBI has faced lately. For instance, the agency has come under fire for its handling of the New Orleans New Year’s Day attack—which, surprise-surprise, they initially denied was an act of terrorism. Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the perpetrator in question, apparently forgot to read the memo on discretion when he pledged allegiance to ISIS right before his attack. It’s almost as if the FBI is operating under a delusion that terrorists send their intentions via postcard—clear, explicit, and easily ignored.
In a peculiar twist that would seem comical were it not so alarmingly disconcerting, the FBI’s current spokesperson revealed what some may label as a “major update” regarding the same New Orleans incident. It has since been clarified that this was indeed an act of terrorism, contradicting earlier statements that seemed crafted by an intern who barely passed their introductory course on national security. The Bureau’s favorite pastime of spinning narratives has led them down a rabbit hole of their own making. Is it any wonder that the public is left scratching their heads?
FBI Decides to Punch Itself in the Face Again With This Update on the J6 Bomber

As the FBI scrambles to regain lost credibility in the midst of ongoing fiascos, the dubious claim that recent violent incidents were the acts of “lone wolves” only serves to raise eyebrows. Given the embellishment of reports and constant shifts in narrative, it’s hard not to feel skeptical when the Bureau insists they are on top of things. When the FBI’s top brass benches one spokesperson for another who finally admits to the act of terrorism, there arises a chilling question—how reliable is this agency in protecting the American public?
Navigating the chaos of bureaucratic misadventures, the call to “flush” this floundering agency grows louder by the day. From their apparent inability to catch a pipe bomber to the mishandling of terror threats, the FBI resembles more a comedy troupe than a government agency. The persistent struggles of the FBI to restore its reputation look set to continue, leaving one to ponder if anyone still believes in their capacity to keep Americans safe.
