. . ."If you’ve seen Hunter Biden’s lawyer on television, you know what kind of person he is. I’ll leave it at that and stick to what is in that statement, and there’s a lot to critique.

"For example, the idea that the investigation was so long because it was just so thorough is laughable. Five years is an eternity for a case that ultimately ended up with two misdemeanors of not filing taxes (resulting in no jail time) and pre-trial diversion. We know that the DOJ had Hunter Biden dead to rights as far as FARA violations and false statements go. We also know there were numerous other crimes evidenced on the infamous laptop, including possible sex-trafficking charges and drug charges. Yet, none of that made it into the final plea deal.

"The far more reasonable explanation for the length of the inquiry isn’t thoroughness but purposeful, politically motivated delay. Further, the investigation absolutely cut corners. Search warrants weren’t served, lawyers were tipped off, and charges in two venues other than Delaware were blocked by DOJ officials.

Five Quick Things: The George Floyd–ization of Adam Schiff -

"You can’t fight your war of attrition on local police without having a fraudulent hero like George Floyd to push the public relations, and so you can’t pursue the political annihilation of Trump without having an Adam Schiff being martyred to the cause of Our Democracy."

You can’t pursue the political annihilation of Trump without having a Schiff martyred to the cause of Our Democracy.

Jason Seiler

"Boy, what a spectacle the House Democrats made on Wednesday, no? You had to know they’d behave badly in response to efforts at holding Adam Schiff, their designated hitter when it came to spreading the Trump–Russia myth, accountable for his lies, but this?

"You’d look at that cast of characters straight out of the Star Wars cantina scene, and you’d struggle to find any coherent thinking behind it. (READ MORE: With Schiff, House Democrats Declare Moral Bankruptcy)

"The thing is, though, there is some.

"1. They’re Not Wild Animals; They’re Zoo Animals — And There Is a Zookeeper

"The impression you get from seeing the current batch of House Democrats, now that they’re not led by the doddering octogenarians Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, and James Clyburn, is that they’re a collection of wackos, radicals, perverts, and hooligans: an unruly mob disguised as a congressional caucus.

"And that’s a rational impression. You can’t ascribe strategic thinking to a group that has, for example, the purple-haired cat-lady Rosa DeLauro so prominently included.

"But the Democrats in the House seem to have galvanized around three principles that they’ve made the core of their existence in this Congress — and that they’re hoping to ride back to power in 2024.

"The first is that they fight together. It would have been pretty easy to throw Schiff overboard and then go on the offensive against all the Republicans with so much as a hangnail of ethics. You’ve seen how the Senate Democrats have launched an unprecedented assault on the Supreme Court, which is a thinly veiled attempt to delegitimize the court before it explodes the regulatory welfare that is Chevron deference and, in so doing, knock out a key pillar of Deep State governance. 

"But they’ve closed ranks around Schiff, even though he’s a colossal liability. Think about it — poll after poll shows that Americans have lost faith in the government’s ability to operate honorably and to not meddle in elections, and what Schiff did was weaponize the source of that distrust. He’s literally the face of the lying Deep State, and he’s a smarmy jackass no more likable than Peter Strzok at that. And it doesn’t matter. They won’t leave any of their wounded in the field." . . .

Navy knew of Titan's implosion on Sunday, but allowed wall-to-wall media coverage to overshadow bad news for Biden and the Democrats

 Thomas Lifson   . . ."Hunter Biden’s wrist-slap plea deal, the Pentagon’s “accounting error” that is sending billions more to Ukraine, John Durham’s congressional testimony, and yesterday’s IRS whistleblower testimony were all shoved aside form media space by obsessive coverage of the “drama” whose grim conclusion the Navy picked up last Sunday.

"The technology of the SOSUS system that the Navy used to listen for the Titan may be top secret, but the existence of the system isn’t. There is a long Wikipedia article on it, for example. So, protecting national defense secrets was no cause to suppress the finding.

"Hey, the media got a compelling cliffhanger of a story to draw readers and eyeballs, the Coast Guard the useful information, and the Biden regime got a lot of silence on stories it didn’t want publicized, at least until the real powers-that-be decided to let the public know and signal the Bidens to prepare for the end of their grifting."

The Balancing Act: Who hates America more? Russia, China or Joe Biden and Democrats?

He wants to take our guns yet he just gave the Taliban some $83 billion in military equipment, making the group the best armed force of its size in the world.  

 Placerville, CA; Mountain Democrat  . . ."Who’s orchestrating this “defiling” of America? Is it avowed leftist Sandy Cortez (AOC), who has advocated thrift store shopping to her audiences while she is ensconced in the latest designer outfits. Maybe it’s leftist, “I own three homes” Bernie Sanders. Or other members of the leftist Cortez squad? Maybe Rashid Tlaib, “good for thee but not for me,” the leftist squad member who wants mask mandates for everyone but herself (ditto for ex-bartender Cortez  — and I write that in no derogation of an otherwise honorable profession). Maybe it’s George Soros.

"There are people buried deep in the bureaucracy who crave power against American ideals and work to destroy this country through the use of now meaningless words like racist and racism. If you don’t agree with the left, you’re a racist. But if you’re a white person, that in and of itself makes you a racist. 

"Most ironic is that this country was founded on merit, self-reliance, independence and hard work. The mantra of the left is a person’s failure is founded on victimhood and racism. The left wants everyone to be government dependent — part of the collective. Hard work and merit mean very little, if anything. That’s the reason socialism and communism fail; they defy human nature."

America's decline has to be by design

. . ."The cumulative effect of nearly two years of Democratic control has fundamentally changed the United States, just as the Biden administration  hoped it would."

Washington Examiner   "November 07, 2022 "Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele ruffled a lot of feathers when he declared in a March Twitter post, “The most powerful country in the world is falling so fast, that it makes you rethink what are the real reasons. ... Something so big and powerful can’t be destroyed so quickly, unless the enemy comes from within.”

"Fox News’s Tucker Carlson played a clip from a forthcoming interview with Bukele on Tuesday night in which he expands on his tweet. “The demise of the U.S. has to come from within. The enemies have to be inside,” he begins. “No external enemies can cause so much damage as internal operations.”

"Sadly, he is right.

“Cities that were pristinely beautiful 30 years ago are wastelands,” Bukele tells Carlson. He cites Los Angeles, San Francisco , Philadelphia, and Baltimore and says he would not live in them.

"He continues, “When you look at how the cities are eroding so fast, this has to be by design. Who would make so many stupid decisions? ... They’re literally giving people drugs in some U.S. cities. Or they say we’re going to give you money if you don’t work.”

“ 'They make all of these laws that make no sense. If you have high crime, [they say] ‘Okay, I have a solution. Let’s defund the police.’”

"He makes the obvious point that those who make these laws know very well what the consequences will be.

“ 'They can’t be so dumb,” he concludes. “Of course, they’re not. They’re smart. They’re very smart people. So, why are they doing these things? Because it’s by design. It has to be by design.' ”. . .

Tucker Carlson's 'Wannabe Dictator' satire master class the left desperately had to ignore -

What probably ground their gears was that Mr. Carlson was using a formerly favorite technique the left employs for "proving" that the Republicans, pro-freedom right, and later President Trump was fascist in some form.

  American Thinker   "The walls are closing in on the fascist far left's echo chamber; that's the reason they couldn't allow their outrage to show over Tucker Carlson's takedown of their dear leader.

"If you're one of the 30 million people who have viewed Ep. 4 of Tucker on Twitter, entitled Wannabe Dictator (or on Rumble, YouTube, or Odysee), you were treated to a master class in the deadpan satire that is the hallmark of Mr. Carlson as he mocked the left while having a rollicking good time doing it. " . . .

. . ."It's even more hilarious when you consider that they had to ignore this serious affront to their dear leader because he turned one of their formerly favorite techniques against them.  He invoked facts they are desperate to keep out of their echo chamber.  Mr. Carlson predicted this in his video presentation.

"No one is ever allowed to invoke the facts of history when it comes to Hitler or the Nazis unless the far left does it — as in the case of "Godwin's Law," where they get all authoritarian in shutting down historical debate unless it's framed a certain way.  According to the nation's socialist left, it is verboten to compare them to the National Socialist German Workers' (Nazi) Party." . . .
