Jim Jordan Lays Waste To Democrat Conspiracists |

  John Durham | Religio-Political Talk  "What did Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Loretta Lynch, and James Comey know about Russia collusion — and when did they know it? John Durham dropped a bombshell in his testimony today at House Oversight, which will go on for at least a couple of hours or more, but this part wasn’t the bombshell. In his special-counsel report, Durham had already revealed that CIA Director John Brennan briefed these four in August 2016 that Hillary Clinton planned to paint Donald Trump as linked to Russian intelligence, presumably to shift attention away from her own e-mail scandal.

"That briefing resulted in a “referral memorandum,” and one of its recipients was then-FBI director James Comey. Oversight chair Jim Jordan asks Durham whether Comey ever bothered to share that with the agents assigned to the newly launched Operation Crossfire Hurricane or ever presented to the FISA court when applications were made for domestic surveillance of Trump campaign officials."...

Representative Troy Nehls (R-TX) questioned Special Counsel John Durham in the House Judiciary Committee today, spending his time dismantling the absurd claims made by Democrats about the existence of an alleged “Trump Pee Tape.”


Hank Johnson shames John Durham for failing to indict Hunter Biden (but there's a good reason for that) – Twitchy   "The competition for Dumbest Member of Congress is about as stiff as it gets, but dammit if Georgia Democratic Rep. Hank Johnson isn't determined to snag the top spot every single time he opens his mouth.

"At today's House Judiciary Committee hearing featuring Special Counsel John Durham's testimony on his probe into the FBI's role in the Russia collusion hoax, when it was Johnson's turn to ask questions, the hearing took a brief but valuable turn, giving the viewing public some important insight into where Johnson's head is at:". . .

Comment: "Isn’t Hank Johnson the same guy who expressed fears that putting too much equipment on one end of an island might make it capsize??"

Confirmed: Intel Top Dogs Knowingly Lied When They Said Hunter's Laptop Was Russian Disinformation

 PJ Media

This is the apex of political corruption. These people should be formally barred from holding any position in the American government ever again. But their friends and cronies are still in power, so expect them to be given awards instead.

"It was bad enough that 51 of the nation’s top intelligence officials declared in Oct. 2020, at the height of the presidential campaign, that Hunter Biden’s laptop “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.” But now the flagrant dishonesty of the whole affair has gotten exponentially worse, for any lingering doubt that these officials had access to adequate information when they published their assessment has been put to rest: it has now come to light that the FBI found the laptop to be authentic months before the intelligence officials told the world that it wasn’t. The last doubt that the 51 officials were brazenly lying to the American people has been removed.

"It’s important to remember exactly who it was who lied to us. The chief signatory was James Clapper, who is listed on the letter as the former Director of National Intelligence, former Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, former Director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, and former Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency.

"You can’t get more of a U.S. intelligence insider than James Clapper. Clapper, 82, has spent practically his entire life in the intelligence field; he has been working in intelligence since he commanded a signals intelligence detachment in Thailand during the Vietnam War. To be sure, he has previously shown his willingness to sacrifice the truth to political expediency. Back in 2011, he notoriously labeled the Muslim Brotherhood, which has repeatedly stated its goal of imposing Sharia (Islamic law) over the entire world, as “largely secular.”

"That was right around the time that the Obama administration was selling Muslim Brotherhood uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa as a secular “Arab Spring” flowering of democracy, so Clapper was doubtless reflecting his boss’ agenda. Still, he showed himself to be either clueless or craven and only confirmed that by becoming the chief signatory to the Biden laptop letter even when he must have known that it itself was disinformation." . . .

Another Woke Reboot Dies a Horrible Death –

Please! No more remakes of classics!

PJ Media


"We’ve long been critical of Hollywood’s lack of fresh, new ideas and its apparent fascination with rebooting past films or giving us a sequel decades later. Sadly, merely paying homage to the original material is insufficient. Instead, producers opt to incorporate “wokeness,” believing it will be more appealing to modern viewers, but in the process, they end up taking something beloved and turning it into garbage that the masses don’t want to see.

"The latest example is Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, the prequel series to the 1978 hit film Grease. I’m not sure who wanted this — it’s bad enough to hear any of the original songs and get them stuck in your head — but once again, the effort seemed less about telling a compelling story, and more about making it an anachronistically diverse, LGBTQ story, flaunting same-sex romances and obsession with racial identity.

"Woke reboots, sequels, and prequels don’t have a stellar track record, and it’s hard to understand how Hollywood hasn’t gotten the hint. It’s bad enough that Hollywood doesn’t have enough new ideas it constantly has to borrow from past works, but it’s particularly bad when woke writers take period pieces and shamelessly insert LGBTQ ideology into them or diversify the cast in a way that makes them grossly inaccurate to the point where they’re arguably rewriting history. For example, Disney’s live-action reboot of Lady and The Tramp portrayed interracial relationships and race relations in a way that was grossly unrealistic for the era it took place in. The characters Jim Dear and Darling were made an interracial couple even though interracial marriage was illegal at the time and place the movie was set.

"After premiering on April 6, the cancellation of Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies was announced last week. Apparently, the show was so poorly received that it will also be permanently removed from the Paramount+ platform. Though this is being done reportedly as a cost-saving measure, the move essentially memory-holes the movie out of existence." . . .

Can America Survive as a Self-Governing People? -

  American Thinker "A series of tests by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), better known as the Nation's Report Card, show that fifty years of student academic progress have been wiped out.  Unless this is reversed, America as a free nation faces a grim future." . . .

. . ."Student mental health is a "national emergency," with "youth suicides closely tied with in-person school attendance." 

"With billions of dollars wasted on government schools, we have severely dumbed down, mentally destabililzed political activists who hate America and the Christian faith.

"Illiteracy brings a heavy price.  It is devastating not only to personal lives, but to our society as a whole.  The U.S. has gone from being the world's best educated workforce to the least well educated in the industrial world.  Illiteracy is costing our national economy $2.2 trillion each and every year — that's 10% of our gross domestic product.

"Our founding fathers understood that self-government can survive only with an educated and a moral people who understand the responsibilities and privileges of citizenship.

"The solution is to throw the bums out of government schools and return to ideology-free classical education.  Since that is decidedly unlikely to happen in the near future or even ever, parents should remove their children from harm's way and opt for one or more of the free-market education choices. "

The Wit and Wisdom of John Kennedy, R-La. -

 Don Surber (substack.com)

"When I was 7, America elected a fellow named John Kennedy president. He had been a senator and he was witty. His daddy was rich as he made money the way John Hancock did, by smuggling. Hancock smuggled tea. Kennedy’s dad smuggled hooch.

"In 1958, Kennedy began a speech to the Gridiron Club — a journalist organization when newspapers ruled the land — by saying, “I have just received the following wire from my generous daddy: ‘Dear Jack — Don’t buy a single vote more than necessary — I’ll be damned if I am going to pay for a landslide.’”

"Looking back as an adult, I realize he was not joking. He was bragging. But he was so charming that I secretly have wished for a Republican John Kennedy. Ronald Reagan came close. Donald Trump too. Maybe the John Kennedy we need is the senator by that very name from Louisiana. He uses humor and common sense to make his point and his points are always good ones.

"Early in his days in the Senate, the Republican John Kennedy said, “This is Washington, D.C. Politics is in everybody’s blood, kind of like herpes.”

"He was a Louisiana Democrat until he decided he wanted to win election to an office bigger than state treasurer. He converted to Republican but skipped the testicle-removal ceremony. In 2016, his state sent him to the Senate. He wound up on a boring committee that overlooks banks and the like.

"At a hearing on October 9, 2017, he said something that shocked the Advocate, Louisiana’s biggest newspaper.

"It reported, “During a Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee hearing last week, members of Congress expressed bewilderment that credit reporting company Equifax, under siege after a data breach affecting more than 145 million people, has received a $7.25 million contract with the IRS to validate the identity of taxpayers communicating with the agency on the telephone or through its website.”

"At the hearing, Kennedy said to former Equifax CEO Richard Smith of that contract, “You realize, to many Americans right now, that looks like we're giving Lindsay Lohan the keys to the mini-bar.' ”. . .

If “we’re coming for your children” doesn’t send a chill down the spine of parents with young children. . .I’m not sure what would.

WATCH: Defiant LGBTQ Marchers Chant: 'We're Here, We're Queer, We're Coming for Your Children' – RedState   "Despite the insincere blather about “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI), the left wants nothing of the kind, and it never did. What leftists do want — including LGBTQ activists and Joe Biden’s Democrat Party — is to shove their radical ideology down the throats of the rest of us. The more we resist, the harder they push.

"If there was ever any doubt that they also want your children, that notion was blown to pieces in New York City on Friday as in-your-face LGBTQ activists marched and defiantly chanted:

We’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for your children.

"Just taunting, or were they serious? Hell yes, they were serious, but I suspect you already knew that." . . .

. . ."In another video, signs reading “Groom Cissies” and “Drag isn’t for Cissies” can be seen.

"The ridiculous made-up term “cis,” or “cisgender,” describes a person whose gender identity matches the sex they were assigned at birth. A person designated female at birth and identifies as a woman — or a person designated male at birth and identifies as a man — is cisgender.

"Here’s a thought: Why not just call people who don’t pretend to change their gender exactly what they are instead of making up a silly term that sounds “woke” or whatever?". . .


Hide Your Kids: Pride Members State Their Agenda, 'We're Coming For Your Children' (townhall.com)   "A group of progressive New York City Pride members sparked outrage after revealing the Left’s radical agenda it has in store for children. 

"The extreme activists were unafraid to hide their plan to indoctrinate minors through their LGBTQ propaganda, something Republican leaders have warned the country about." . . .

Leftist Twitter Targets J.K. Rowling For Saying ‘Cisgender’ Is 'Ideological' 'Jargon' | Newsbusters  . . ."The word “cisgender,” or “cis,” references someone who identifies as the same gender that they actually are. They’re not pretending to be a he or a she or a he/she or a neither. Most “normal” people are cisgender. To Rowling's point, this phrase is ridiculous. It makes no sense for a term like this to even exist, as anything other than “cisgender” is a delusion. There’s no such thing as “transgender” or “non-binary,” “pangender,” “third gender,” or any of the other 97 made-up genders. 

"In response to Rowling’s tweet, Musk replied, “Exactly."  

Parody: Historians Now Claim Hitler Was Just Kidding When He Chanted 'We're Coming For The Jews' | Babylon Bee  . . ."It was obviously just a joke," said Dr. Werner Von Herbensherber, who serves as Professor Emeritus at the Institute for the Rehabilitation of Hitler's Image. "Though the Führer may have caused some trouble here and there, he was actually looking for acceptance and meant no harm to the Jewish people when he attempted to eradicate them from existence."

"Recently discovered film footage shows Hitler leading a celebratory parade of Nazis down a Munich street chanting "Achtung! Good news! We're coming for the Jews!" Though many people found the footage chilling, historians were quick to defend the former German leader. "He clearly didn't mean anything by it," Dr. Von Herbensherber explained. "Everyone who was up in arms about Hitler and the Nazis ‘making threats' against the Jews were clearly overreacting.' "
