Bump and update
Mark Zuckerberg finally admitted on what we’ve known all along:The FBI colluded with big tech to squash the Hunter Biden story.https://youtu.be/3OGodujfD04And look, if we know what happened with Facebook, is there any reason whatsoever to believe that it didn’t happen with the other platforms as well?And then there’s the supposed mainstream news media sitting on the story…Matt Vespa over at Town Hall:
“How is this not a huge story,” asked Matt Taibbi, the former contributing editor to Rolling Stone. He then faced a deluge of unhinged liberals who just didn’t seem to get that a) the laptop was declared authentic eons ago, and b) the FBI policing speech in the middle of an election is antithetical to American values. The FBI is our leading domestic intelligence agency. As Taibbi noted, their meddling in news distribution should have sent chills down the spines of everyone, especially the American Civil Liberties Union.
Where the hell are they in all of this?
Where, indeed?
One of the reasons why liberals don’t care about this is that their hatred of Trump is so great they’re willing to shred the Constitution to achieve that goal.
True, but let’s not forget the idea that they’re willing to do that, anyway.
Another reason could be that they don’t care because the FBI’s interference helped Democrats, and they’re supportive of the government policing speech they don’t like wholesale. The Left’s growing intolerance of freedom of speech and differing opinions has moved at warp speed since the 2016 election. Tired of having their views shredded in under 30 seconds, liberals now claim that opposing views and voicing them is akin to violence.
So as I’ve suggested already what we have here is the specter of the Federal Bureau of Investigation acting as the enforcement arm of the Democrat party.
In other words, they’ve become the Stazi, or the Gestapo depending on which way you want to lean.I hope that this won’t be the last we hear of this story but given the history of the thing… You know, the thing…
There’s a lot to go over here so this is going to take a little bit.
First, go back and read part 1.
Now, let’s listen to the comments of the great one, Mark Levin, recorded prior to the DOJ affidavit being released piecemeal.
Now, the affidavit itself has been released in heavily redacted form. (Some are calling it The zebra files).
None of what remains visible is anything new, and the former FBI agents that I’m hearing are raising questions about the broadness of it. Even a lot of Democrats are raising issues about it.
They’re using words like unconscionable, unprecedented, and clearly unconstitutional. Their words, not mine. All of which deepens my suspicion that this is not a matter of national security but rather a matter of FBI and DOJ security.
Here it is, folks… The raid was itself a desperate move. Obviously they felt they needed evidence. Which in turn means they didn’t have a case. Just as obvious however, is the idea that they didn’t find any evidence.
Think…. So desperate are they, that had they discovered anything in what they overambitiously removed from Trump’s residence, they would already have been laying charges within 24 to 48 hours from the raid. That didn’t happen. The obvious conclusion is, they’ve got nothing, even after rifling through Melena’s lingerie drawer.
However, them having nothing doesn’t mean it’s going to end anytime soon. There is a political advantage to them to be had here by the illusion of Trump’s guilt being continued.
All that said, Mark’s comments about Mitch McConnell are spot on. He and the wondering band of RINOs are a serious impediment to putting a stop to this nonsense. We desperately need to replace the man.. he is exactly the kind of RINO that I described in my column how about establishment Republicans some years ago, which if you haven’t seen it already I urge you to go and read. Pay particular attention to the final paragraph where I suggest that the GOP rank and file was about to drop the bomb on the GOP leadership, such as McConnell.
Certainly, the nomination and the election of Donald Trump over the establishments choice of Jeb Bush would qualify as that at least. A further indication would be the overwhelming success of candidates in primaries who had Trump support.
Then we come to, finally, the enforcement arm of the Democrat party otherwise known as the FBI.
There is been no small amount of commentary these last several weeks about the FBI and the corruption thereof. Most of the commentary seems to be aimed at remediating the problems, redeeming their credibility. There is a knee-jerk instinct, I suppose, that forces some to trust governmental institutions like the FBI. Frankly however, I have long since begun to believe that there is no redemption of their credibility.
Yes, no question,there are a number of people within the organization that are doing their jobs loyally, and well. They have attempted to serve the American people. Then again, harsh as this is, Hitler made the trains run on time.
Again, it’s possible that’s overly harsh but I believe the point is made. While I again Grant then there are a great many of the FBI who do their job loyally and well and if there were a choice I would not call for them to be summarily disposed of.
The fact remains however, that the trust of the American people has been broken whether by many or by a few is immaterial to the conversation. The reason for this is rather simple. Does anybody truly believe that the FBI will ever be fully trusted again?
And don’t tell me about weeding out the few bad apples and continuing on our merry way. That’s simply not going to happen.
Sorry, folks, they’ve been trying to eliminate corruption since the 30s, J Edgar Hoover’s time, and never been completely successful. Mind you this is not a particular fault of the FBI but of any organization so large and so powerful, particularly government run organizations. Power corrupts.
Ask yourself a serious question. Does anybody seriously consider that the FBI will ever be fully trusted again by the American people, particularly after what we’ve been witness to these last 6 years or so? And without that trust, what purpose does the organization serve?
Somehow, I tend to doubt that California’s ban on fossil fuel powered vehicles will apply to private jets.
Over at Legal Insurrection:
California will start implementing its ban on the sale of new gasoline-powered vehicles on Thursday, which was first announced in 2020. The ban is set to begin Thursday officially.
The fact that an unelected group of people can implement something like this without the California people actually having anything to say about it is appalling. At the very least it’s a threat to democracy. In truth, it’s intentionally destructive.
Former Florida governor Charlie Crist apparently still hasn’t learned the lesson.
Democratic Rep. Charlie Crist, who won Florida’s Democratic gubernatorial primary on Tuesday, declared on Wednesday that he does not want the votes of Floridians who support Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and suggested that DeSantis backers harbor “hate” within their hearts.
Still playing with the label gun I see, eh, Charlie? I find it interesting that the one complaining about hate can spend so much energy and spit hating anyone who comes down to the right of him. (And trust me, coming down to the right of you Charlie, is no great shakes.)
And no, it’s not hate that you should be worried about. It’s love for the state. If there’s any hatred involved, it has to do with what you did to the state. Coincidentally, that’s also why you were a one-term governor, and why Marco Rubio kicked your butt. Bad as he is, Florida still saw him as being better than you.
Trust me, you won’t have to worry about being Governor again.
Aug. 23, 2020 is a night Kenosha residents can’t help but remember — but would rather forget. At the hands of vindictive Black Lives Matter groupies and other self-described racial justice activists, the Wisconsin town went up in flames two years ago today.
Rogues started fires at government buildings. They set ablaze garbage trucks and torched upwards of 100 vehicles in the car lot owned by an Indian immigrant, smashing the windows of those who escaped the inferno. They vandalized the post office and a high school, and their flames completely consumed a century-old camera shop.
That’s only a fraction of what followed the justified police shooting of Jacob Blake.
Boarded up windows were scrawled with messages begging rioters to pass over them: “PLEASE, KIDS ABOVE” and “THE ELDERLY LIVE HERE.” Demonstrators taunted the scant law enforcers posted outside the courthouse. And when Wisconsin’s Democrat Gov. Tony Evers refused to send enough National Guardsmen after a full 24 hours of rioting despite locals’ pleas for help — he sent more troops to Milwaukee during the NBA finals — armed citizens stepped up to defend property and ultimately themselves, resulting in the deaths of two people.
That was two years ago. Now we’re watching the House Jan. 6 Committee’s Stalinist show trial for Americans who participated in the riot at the U.S. Capitol — and many who didn’t — on Jan. 6, 2021. Last November, we witnessed a courtroom drama for a 17-year-old kid who defended his life with a firearm during the riots but was slandered by legacy media as a white supremacist and a murderer.
Now, after more than 60 people have been charged with crimes related to the Kenosha riots, with supposedly many more to come, why has there been no large-scale investigation into these deadly riots, the players behind them, and the destructive ideology that sparked it all? Despite Democrats’ constant talk about Donald Trump’s “big lie,” they fall silent when confronted with evidence their race obsession can spur lethal race revolutions.
There’s a reason for that discrepancy. The riots in Kenosha benefited Democrats. January 6th, did not.
Rather makes you wonder about what’s going on with the FBI today, doesn’t it?
Rand Paul has an answer for that:
Fauci’s resignation will not prevent a full-throated investigation into the origins of the pandemic. He will be asked to testify under oath regarding any discussions he participated in concerning the lab leak.
Well, the lab leak is only part of the issue, and as far as I can see the smallest part. The investigation being pursued, the one that created this virus in the first place was outright illegal. Gain of function research was outlawed for a reason, and Anthony Fauci felt that he was above the law.
Let’s examine the cost of his illegal actions:
- In excess of 6 million people died directly from the virus, worldwide.
- An additional 6 million people had their jobs affected or eliminated because of the restrictions surrounding covid-19.
- Some 200,000 businesses permanently closed because of it.
And that’s leaving aside malfeasance in office is such as packing state-run nursing homes with covid-19 sufferers so that senior citizens could catch it.
That also leaves aside restrictions on hospitals preventing elective surgeries, pretty much messing up regular checkups for people, and preventing people from visiting Grandma and Grandpa in their final years.
Masking, social distancing, every bit of it was harmful to us both as individuals and as a society.
Then there are the other problems associated with covid-19.
Pp
And of course it was used as an excuse to alter the outcome of an election.
Rand Paul had better be right about this because Anthony Fauci just walking away from all this is unconscionable.
Jim Jordan is saying the 14 different FBI agents have come forward as whistleblowers about the blatent abuse of power in the raid of Donald Trump’s home.
You know, it’s funny how the mainstream media hasn’t said anything about this. Or maybe not. As Jim Jordan himself says:
The template never changes with these guys. The left creates a lie. Big media, mainstream press reports the lie. Big tech amplifies the lie, and then we try to tell the truth they call us names and try to cancel us and tell the world we’re the ones not being squared with them,”
Go read the whole article
These idiots have been trying to shut us down for generation after generation. The sky still hasn’t fallen. But it hasn’t stopped the fear mongering.
Oh by the way, even the left leaning Snopes admits this article is genuine.
The government is continuing its highly “successful” campaign to identify and convict any person that can conceivably be tied in any way to the Capitol Hill riot on January 6th of last year. The latest two people to be dragged before a magistrate and plead guilty were a pair of sisters, Trudy Castle and Kimberly DiFrancesco. The two women freely admitted to having been at the riot and entering the Capitol Building after someone dropped a dime on them to the authorities, pointing to social media footage showing them inside the building. On Wednesday, they both entered their guilty pleas after the prosecution settled on a charge of “misdemeanor parading, demonstrating or picketing” in a restricted area. They face sentencing on November 22, when they could get up to six months behind bars. They will also each pay a $500 fine. )
Clearly the Democrats and the establishment Republicans involved with these prosecutions feel that something was being threatened by the actions of these people. So, what is it that’s being threatened here?
Is it a matter of safety? Is it a matter of monetary value of the damages involved? By the way, those were minimal, and the only serious injury was the murder of Ashley Babbitt.
When one considers that the people pushing this January 6th business spent years quietly cheering as American cities burned. That would seem to eliminate safety and the monetary value of damages as a motivation for these prosecutions.
What, then? What is the motivation for these prosecutions? What was damaged? What is threatened?
What is threatened is Democrat party power. What was damaged was the illusion of broad support for what the Democrats did for the last 5 years, including the stolen election.
The message being sent is clear. Dissent will not be tolerated. The only logical conclusion to draw is that this is big government protecting itself from the people.
And I put a question to the rank and file Democrats… Did you actually vote for this Jack booted thuggery?
over a year away from the transition of power?, I mean, don’t they change those things once in awhile?
People, the claim is BS on its face.
