When a leftist grand jury forewoman goes 'giddy' at the thought of arresting Donald Trump


David Zukerman

Unfortunately, with former Biden aide Jen Psaki now ensconced at MSNBC, the media opportunities for a TDS-stricken, yet giddy, Gen Zer have narrowed considerably.

 "The "giddy" (and arguably immature) 30-year-old forewoman of the Georgia grand jury, apparently charged by Fulton County district attorney Fani Wills to come up with some basis to indict former president Donald Trump, is just the latest citizen apparently afflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome — whose effect leads the afflicted to look for ways and means to prevent Mr. Trump from seeking a second presidential term, preferably via incarceration for illusory "crimes" perceived only by those carrying the TDS virus.

"The first such carrier (not to gainsay the existence of TDS carriers during the early years of the Trump presidency when the name Adam Schiff, M.C., comes to mind) was, certainly, House speaker Nancy Pelosi, who, after failing to oust President Trump for a perfectly reasonable phone conversation with Ukraine president Volodomyr Zelensky, summer of 2019, went on to rip up Mr. Trump's final State of the Union address, for viewers to witness, and then concocted a second Trump impeachment for this president, with the Senate aspect taking place after Mr. Trump had peacefully left office.

"Thereupon, Ms. Pelosi arranged for a nine-member House select committee consisting of nine representatives suffering from TDS to the point where they, every member, including the two Republicans — chosen by Pelosi, too — could no longer distinguish their obligation to honor the rule of law . . ."

How to win next year; Republicans need to fight today's battles, not yesteryear's

"Point out how racist and unAmerican CRT is. Democrats are going to portray Republicans as racist no matter what we do, so be proactive."  Don Surber

"Don Lemon was right when he said Nikki Haley is past prime. Oh, it is not her age. She is 5 years younger than the CNN presenter.

"Her ideas are past prime. She remains a neocon who seeks to appease her tormentors in the press. She’s a politician who says more tax cuts will solve everything. (And the band played on.)

"The world today is not what it was 8 years ago when Donald John Trump rode that golden escalator to the presidency.

"While the invasion from Mexico and Red China remain existential threats to America, new threats loom. NATO is on a zombie walk to a nuclear war with Russia, which was once a bear but now is a bearskin rug but with nukes.

"Trainwrecks and mysterious fires are wreaking havoc across America, either by design or just through the ordinary incompetence of the Cabinet of Tokens that Democrats installed under Biden. Let’s split the difference. The design was to appoint imbeciles and kick back and enjoy the collapse of America from within.

"How desperate is America today? Republicans are our only hope. We have to get them elected despite themselves. So here is what DeSantis or Trump (I will take either) must say and do to get elected president next year.". . .


Meghan McCain Calls Out Former ‘View’ Coworker Joy Behar for Her “Evil” East Palestine Comments

 

Decider  "She’s long gone from The View, but former co-host Meghan McCain still couldn’t help but chime in on a conversation from yesterday’e episode. McCain — who sat at the Hot Topics table from 2017 through 2021 — spoke out on Twitter shortly after Thursday’s show, where she blasted Joy Behar for her comments about East Palestine, Ohio Trump supporters.
During a conversation about the toxic chemical spill that took place in the Ohio town earlier  this month, Behar assigned blame to former president Donald Trump for his role in the incident.
“ 'I don’t know why they would ever vote for him,” Behar said on Thursday’s show. “He placed somebody with deep ties to the chemical industry in charge of the EPA’s Chemical Safety Office.”. . .
. . ."She then looked directly into the camera and pointed her finger, saying, “That’s who you voted for in that district: Donald Trump, who reduces all safety.”
"Her words made their way back to McCain, who couldn’t resist firing off her own defense on social media. The former View panelist, who is now a columnist for The Daily Mail, retweeted a recap of Behar’s comments, writing, “The people of east Palestine are currently in fear that they and their children will be getting cancer or worse from the derailment toxins in their land and water.”
"She added, “This is just an evil thing to say. I would say I can’t fathom this level of cruelty and elitism but sadly… I can.”

Now word is getting out to everyone else: Blaming Trump for this mess, amid a slow response from the Bidenites, (and a fast one from Trump himself, who sent water and burgers to residents), is not working as a spin narrative anymore. It's falling apart. Seems the biggest train wreck here is the Biden administration's credibility. That's obvious enough in their 'blame-Trump' response.


Corruption in U.S. at Worst Levels in Almost a Decade, According to New Transparency International Report

 

Foreign Policy.com  "Corruption in the United States is apparently at its worst in almost a decade, according to a new global report released Thursday by Transparency International. Advocates attribute the drop to declining trust in democratic institutions and poor oversight of pandemic-related financial aid.

"In the annual Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), the United States fell to a low of 67 out of a maximum possible score of 100, down from a high of 76 in 2015. By its nature, corruption is difficult to document, so the index relies on a variety of different sources to measure the level of perceived public sector corruption. The lower the score, the worse the corruption. Two-thirds of the 180 countries and territories included in the 2020 index scored below 50, with an average of 43. ". . .

". . .Scott Greytak, the advocacy director for the U.S. office of Transparency International, cited a broader “decay” in U.S. political institutions as a major contributor to the country’s declining rating. Gretyak noted that public confidence in U.S. elections has been undercut by disinformation and record-setting amounts of untraceable money in elections—especially in 2020, when twice as much was spent compared with 2016. 

“Second, and increasingly important, are these series of really bombshell exposés by media outlets that are demonstrating how much dirty money is flowing into the United States’ financial system,” he said, referencing a joint investigation published by BuzzFeed News and the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists last year that confidence in U.S. elections has been undercut by disinformation and record-setting amounts of untraceable money in elections—especially in 2020, when twice as much was spent compared with 2016.

Missouri AG Fires Dem Attorney Kim Gardner After She Refuses To Resign Over Public Safety Outcry

One down.

 Resist the Mainstream


"As violent crime spikes nationwide, conservative Republicans are pushing back against soft-on-crime policies advanced by progressive district attorneys, prosecutors and circuit attorneys.

 

"On Thursday, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey (R) fired Democratic St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner (D) after she refused to step down amid controversy stemming from policies that allowed a repeat offender to commit a violent crime.


"The offender, Daniel Riley, was reportedly free on bond though officials were aware of multiple violations of his bond terms.". . .

. . ."The collision resulted in 16-year-old Janae Edmondson being pinned by Riley’s vehicle. Edmondson sustained significant injuries requiring the amputation of both legs.  

"Local reports note that Edmondson’s father provided emergency triage care, which likely saved the life of the young volleyball player. Janae remains in a hospital in critical condition.". . .
