How gun-toting US Postal Service inspectors helped arrest Steve Bannon on a yacht before he was indicted for stealing $1M in border wall fundraising 'scam'
- Steve Bannon was arrested Thursday after a Coast Guard vessel stopped him on a yacht off the coast of Connecticut
- The first officers to board the yacht were armed members of the US Postal Investigative Service (USPIS)
- The USPIS inspectors swept the boat before federal agents arrived to put Bannon in handcuffs
- The central role USPIS played in the stunning arrest helped pull the agency out of obscurity as most Americans were likely unaware of its existence
- USPIS is America's oldest law enforcement agency, investigating everything from child exploitation to drug trafficking to financial crimes
· 'The US Postal Inspection Service is committed to identifying and investigating anyone who exploits others for their own benefits,' Chief Postal Inspector Gary Barksdale said in a statement Thursday.
· The arrests in this case could go down as one of USPIS's most famous throughout its 245-year history - perhaps shadowed only by that of Charles Ponzi in 1920.
· USPIS is regarded as America's first law enforcement agency. It was founded in 1775 - the same year as the US Postal Service - when William Goddard was named as the nation's first Surveyor under Postmaster General Benjamin Franklin.
· Goddard's role involved auditing postal accounts and investigating theft of mail or postal funds, according to a timeline on the agency's website.
· The agency's role expanded into the 19th century as people began migrating out west and mail traveling further across the country became the target of criminals including Billy the Kid, who was interviewed by postal agents in 1881 about mail robberies in Santa Fe.
· Over the next century and a half USPIS had a hand in investigating a number of high-profile criminals, including Lee Harvey Oswald, who allegedly used a mail-order rifle to kill President John F Kennedy in 1963.
· In 1996, USPIS also helped hunt down 'Unabomber' Ted Kaczynski, who killed three people and injured 23 others in a massive mail-bomb campaign from 1978 to 1995.
· In 2019, the agency conducted 5,759 arrests that led to nearly 5,000 convictions - mostly involving mail theft, mail fraud or prohibited mailings.
· Despite its wide-ranging responsibilities involving virtually any crime committed via the mail, USPIS receives much less exposure than the agencies it partners with, including the FBI and ATF.
Regardless of who is elected, it'll be Civil War
And make no mistake: The two-party system in America has been an illusion and a deception for quite some time. Most Republican elected officials who support the president are only supporting him because of his popularity amongst Republicans and swing voters. Nearly all of them hold allegiance to the Washington establishment and have been vehemently opposed to Trump's housekeeping efforts from the start.

Governor of Maine Orders Restaurant Staff to Wear COVID Visors Like Dog Cones
“Must now wear them upside down so that they are attached at the collar instead of the forehead.”
Governor Janet Mills’ decree states that “front-of-house staff in restaurants who choose to wear face shields must now wear them upside down so that they are attached at the collar instead of the forehead, so that their breath is directed up, not down,” reports Maine Public Radio.
Given that air conditioning units can facilitate the spread of coronavirus, Mills’ order looks like another ridiculous and pointless measure.
