Devin Nunes Has a Warning for AG Bill Barr: Without Prosecutions None “will trust the FBI or DOJ for generations”…

The Last Refuge  "HPSCI ranking member Devin Nunes has a deliberate warning to U.S. Attorney Bill Barr, and the Department of Justice should take it very seriously.
"In a 30 minute podcast interview last week [Listen Here] Representative Nunes rightly warns of massive political consequences if Justice Department officials don’t face jail time for their conduct during the Russia investigation.  I strongly urge everyone to listen to the podcast." . . .

BEWARE: ‘Lion King’ Is ‘Fascistic,' 'White Supremacist,’ Says WashPost

It is the dedicated purpose of the left to seek out any trace of joy and crush it into dust. TD

Newsbusters  "Well, it was bound to happen. One of the woke writers at The Washington Post found something political to nitpick about Disney’s remake of The Lion King. Rather than let everyone enjoy one of childhood’s great classics, Dan Hassler-Forest tried to burst the bubble, pointing out how it’s a “fascistic story” that “incorporates the white supremacist’s worldview.”
"Good grief.
"Hassler-Forest claimed that the very fact that there is a lion king, is a problem. It means there is a whole strata of animal subjects under his rule, and that is just not ok. On Wednesday, the world’s biggest Negative Nancy wrote, “But as nostalgic as ‘Circle of Life’ may make us feel, this bombastic scene is also a painful reminder of the film’s ideological agenda: It introduces us to a society where the weak have learned to worship at the feet of the strong.”
"At least in The Lion King Mufasa actually protects the fauna he rules over. If Hassler-Forest’s got a problem here, wait til he watches a Nat Geo special on the hierarchical murderous goings-on in the animal kingdom … wait … “animal kingdom?” My word, there’s no escape.
"He continued, saying that “‘The Lion King’ offers us a seductive worldview in which absolute power goes unquestioned, and where the weak and the vulnerable are fundamentally inferior.” In the budding socialist, all-inclusive culture that our author seems to want so bad, the fact that Simba or Mufasa have any authority is a no-go. Forget the fact that their peaceful stewardship of Pride Rock is the only thing that keeps the hyenas at bay." . . .

If any other human had uttered the patent nonsense that has emanated from this person’s mouth, they would have been given the Dan Quayle treatment long ago.

Diogenes Middle Finger  . . . If any other human had uttered the patent nonsense that has emanated from this person’s mouth, they would have been given the Dan Quayle treatment 
long ago. But because of the effortless and pseudo-lucid way in which she spouts stunningly stupid statements, people claim she’s smart. Much of this is pushed by sexually frustrated hipsters who thin[k] if they White Knight her that she may notice them. Seriously, when was the last time you heard a member of Congress praised for a high school science fair project? Or being called a “scholar” because you have a bachelor’s degree?

"But what happens when she goes up against someone who actually understands the subject matter, who is smart, and who recognizes that AOC compares unfavorably to your random bag of clawhammers? We now have the answer to that. " . . .



Inslee says he'll ask soccer player Megan Rapinoe to be secretary of State

Not from The Onion or the Babylon Bee, even though it quotes Rapinoe as saying, "We have to love more, hate less. We got to listen more and talk less," Her words. TD


The Hill "Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D) said Saturday that if he is elected president, he will ask soccer player Megan Rapinoe to be his secretary of state. 

"He said at the progressive Netroots Nation conference that one of his first acts as president would be to get a secretary of State who embraces world unity and "love rather than hate" as he rebuked President Trump's foreign policy. 

" 'My first act will be to ask Megan Rapinoe to be my secretary of State," he said. "I haven't asked her yet, so this could be a surprise to her."

" 'I actually believe this because what I think what she has said that has inspired us so much is such an antithesis of the president's foreign policies," he added. " . . .

"So how and why did a twenty-eight-year-old former bartender who might have had to sit down at the second word in a spelling bee become a U.S. representative, anyway?"

How did Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ever get elected?  "I don't want to be unkind, but almost every other week, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez offers up another are you serious? moment.  Her defeat of the incumbent, and key Democrat member, Joe Crowley, in the primary a year ago June was the big surprise, and she has not ceased to distinguish herself ever since as a complete absurdity.  With now a year's worth of brash inanities on record, Democrat U.S. rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would have done so much better once elected just to have observed an old saying — it's better to remain quiet and thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt — than to persevere in spouting flapdoodles while never, ever being in doubt." . . .

Pelosi’s House of Pain  . . . "It was the dawn of a new era. House Democrats had returned to power after eight years. And these Democrats were remarkably diverse in age, ethnicity, race, and gender. Ideology, too: Ocasio-Cortez and Tlaib belong to the Democratic Socialists of America. “Our nation is at an historic moment,” Pelosi said in January. “Two months ago, the American people spoke, and demanded a new dawn.”
"Well, the sun has set. And fast. Whatever Pelosi’s plans might have been, they’ve been lost in a fog of anti-Semitism and left-wing radicalism. If Ilhan Omar isn’t causing Pelosi trouble, Ocasio-Cortez is. And vice versa. One day the speaker has to respond to the charge that Jewish money controls American foreign policy. The next she has to downplay flatulent cows. It’s enough to make one pity her. Almost."

The long knives are now out for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
. . . "Is there any single element anywhere in there where the racism-hurling Ocasio-Cortez acts as an asset? Can she help keep the majority when so many voters despise her? Can she help grow the majority now that voters and even Democrats have had a bellyful of her ilk? Can she help a Democrat win the presidency? She's a walking ad for the opposition and President Trump can't stop snickering.
"Meeks's warning is clearly a signal that the long knives are out and the money is amassing. Either Ocasio-Cortez shapes up or word is out now from the Democratic machine pols: She's going to be shipped out."

Impressed Military Drops Portland Antifa In Hostile ISIS Territory To Continue Doling Out Justice

Babylon Bee, a more trusted name in news than CNN or MSNBC




"IRAQ—High-ranking officials in the U.S. Military have been watching Portland closely in recent weeks, keeping a keen eye on anti-fascist vigilante group, Antifa. "These great Americans are really passionate about fighting fascism. It's inspiring to see," said one general. The decision was made to gather up as many Antifa members as possible into a large plane and fly them into the Middle East to a territory where ISIS still held some power. 
"While it is true that the Islamic terror group ISIS has largely been dispersed throughout the Middle East, pockets remain and an underground network continues to threaten a comeback. At least, until now.
" 'With Antifa walking the streets of these war-torn villages, we're pretty sure ISIS won't be coming back," said Captain Harvey Kittle, one of those who headed up sending Antifa on the mission. "Just look at Portland. Little to no fascists can actually be found there. It's practically a fascist-free zone. Presumably, we can thank Antifa for that," he added.
"While Antifa members were initially resistant, after being briefed that ISIS had been behind the killing of Christians, they took a sudden interest.
"Asked if they had any fear that the terror groups in the Middle East might kill them on site, AntiFa leader Thistle Matrix Harlequin said, "we have anti-Trump signs. As soon as we flash those, they'll realize we're not the bad type of Americans and will immediately shower us with praise and want to touch our faces." 
"Harlequin's partner, Moonshade Wolflust said he doesn't want to fight ISIS, only learn their secrets. "The way I see it, ISIS is doing what we're trying to do in Portland, only we use more vegan coconut milkshakes and stuff."
"The Antifa group was released into a hostile Iraq territory last Wednesday and have not been heard from since."
