Mitt Romney Comes Out Against Hunter Biden Investigation – ‘A Waste of Time’ – Trump Calls Him a ‘Pathetic Joke’

 Political Insider  "Senator Mitt Romney is voicing opposition to Republican investigations into Hunter Biden, describing such affairs as a “waste of time.”

"Romney (R-UT) ran to his fellow faux conservatives at The Bulwark to make his position known.

"The outlet, which described the younger Biden, currently identified by federal agents as having enough evidence to charge him with multiple crimes, as little more than a “political bugbear,” notes that Romney is the only GOP lawmaker to break with his party on the matter.

“ 'I think it’s really hard to know what the politics of a course of action might be in this day and age, to know where our party stands, what our base wants, what independent voters want,” Romney said.

“ 'But I think you have to do what you think is right and I think the American people want us to tackle some of the big challenges we have—immigration, inflation, and so forth—and the other things that divert from those priorities I think are a waste of time.' ”. . .

Victimhood Purchases Power

Sloan Oliver   "During his victory speech, Senator Raphael Warnock claimed to be a victim of voter suppression.  Let me try to understand, Georgia had record voter turnout, Warnock won the election but claimed that votes were suppressed.  In other words, he’s a victim.  Really?  Someone, anyone, find one legal voter who was unable to vote in Georgia.  You can’t.  So Warnock and Stacey Abrams (she also claimed voter suppression), please, you’re both a bore.

"With Abrams and Warnock in mind, is there anything more insufferable than our privileged, millionaires (and billionaires) complaining about their terrible circumstances in life, about being victims?  Last week, Jennifer Lawrence, of the Hunger Games fame, claimed to be a victim.  Forget that she’s one of the most privileged people in the entire world.  In a Variety interview, she claims to have overcome oppression and that she’s still being oppressed.  Where’s the proof, you ask?  In her statement, “Nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie.”  Translation: Jennifer thought her acting abilities were being questioned, which means she was being oppressed; she was being victimized.  Not only is Lawrence not a victim, she’s extremely ignorant.  Sigourney Weaver in Aliens (1979), Linda Hamilton (Terminator movies), Angelina Jolie (Tomb Raider – 2001 and 2003), Uma Thurman (Kill Bill – 2003), and Jessica Alba (Fantastic Four – 2005) all quickly come to mind.  Lawrence needs to read history books about centuries past to learn true victims of oppression.". . .

. . ."Last week, Biden exchanged (i.e. released) a Russian arms dealer (known as the “merchant of death”) for an American held by the Ruskies.  He had two exchange choices - Brittney Griner, privileged WNBA player who hates America or Paul Whelan, a Marine who put his life on the line for America.  Both Griner and Whelan were convicted and sentenced to lengthy prison sentences in Russian courts on questionable charges.  Guess which one Biden traded the arms merchant for, the non-privileged Marine who served America or the privileged victim who hates America?  You know the answer."   (Emphasis added; TD)

The Obamas Despise Free Speech, and Show It

Jeannie DeAngelis   "When warning Americans that freedom is in danger if political views that do not agree with theirs are not silenced, both Barack and Michelle Obama love to throw around the term "democracy."  The Obama belief that opposing free speech somehow protects "democracy" proves that neither one understands the basic tenet of what they profess needs protecting.

"In Obama circles, rebuke, rejection, or refutation does not sit well.  These two hypersensitive narcissists thrive on things like public adoration and unswerving agreement.  The Obama brand of egotistical self-importance is so great that deviation from the Obama gospel is oftentimes met with vindictive attempts at public humiliation.

"During his eight years in office, Obama overtly scolded detractors.  The former president fought his battles with a teleprompter and a weaponized federal government at his side.  A short list of some of the opponents Obama publicly targeted included the American 

Constitution — i.e., the Second Amendment — the U.S. military, pro-lifers, Christians, and right-leaning Supreme Court judges.  Obama made a sport of reprimanding Tea Party activists as well as conservative news stations and anchors.  Take, for example, his administration's April 2009 opening salvo issued by the DHS, entitled, "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment," or his malicious act of siccing IRS agents on those he deemed political adversaries.

Then, in 2016, the worst happened: voters overwhelmingly chose a different kind of president. . . ."

AOC's climate change documentary bombs at box office despite leftist pandering (msn.com)

 AOC's box office disaster reminds some critics she's a flop in Congress: 'She doesn't do her job'  "Titled To The End, the documentary showcased the life and work of four young women and their attempt to pass significant legislation to address the Earth's changing climate.

"The film managed to rake in a mere $80 per theater, according to a report.

"Professional critics lauded the work, gifting it an 88% "fresh" critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, and leftist media praised it for its call to action.

. . ."However, it seems that all the praise in the world could not force moviegoers to see the film. Debuting at 120 locations, To The End brought in less than $10,000 dollars.". . .

Matt Taibbi, Douglas Murray Dominate Trust-in-Media Debate

National Review

". . .Every adult I knew growing up seemed to be in media,” Taibbi said during his opening remarks to start the debate. “I love the news business. It’s in my bones. But I mourn for it. It’s destroyed itself.”

"Toronto — Conservative commentator Douglas Murray and veteran reporter Matt Taibbi soundly defeated their opponents in a Wednesday evening debate on the question of whether to trust the mainstream media, convincing a significant segment of the audience to abandon their faith in an institution they say is hopelessly compromised by bias. 

"The debate, held at Roy Thomson Hall in downtown Toronto and sponsored by the Canadian cultural non-profit Munk Debates, featured Taibbi and Murray squaring off against the tremendously popular non-fiction author Malcolm Gladwell and New York Times opinion columnist Michelle Goldberg, who made the case for continued trust in major American and Canadian outlets.
