Kristi Noem Lights up Hillary Clinton Over Trump Indictment Cackling, Tells It Like It Is

 RedState   "One of the more troubling yet telling reactions to the Fulton County District Attorney's indictment against former President Donald Trump this week came from twice-failed Democratic candidate for president Hillary Clinton, who was a guest on MSNBC Tuesday night, allegedly to talk about something completely unrelated before the indictment was handed down.

"As we previously reported, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow and Clinton both were gleeful over Trump's predicament, with Clinton literally laughing out loud at the turning of America into a banana republic where the judicial system can be politicized and weaponized against your political opponents: 

“Oh, I can’t believe this,” a giddy Clinton said while laughing and leaning back in her chair.

“This is not the circumstances in which I expected to be talking to you,” the liberal MSNBC host said to the former Democratic presidential candidate who lost to Trump in 2016.

“Nor me, Rachel,” Clinton replied. “It’s always good to talk to you but honestly I didn’t think it’d be under these circumstances — yet another set of indictments.”

For those who missed it, watch:

 

 Hillary Clinton suggests election 'stolen' from her, other Dems could suffer same fate | Fox News      "Abrams justified her refusal to accept the result of the election by calling Kemp “an architect of voter suppression that spent the last eight years knitting together a system of voter suppression that is unparalleled in America.”

"At the Clinton event, the crowd broke out in applause after Hillary Clinton delivered the "stolen" election line, before she continued with a jab at President Trump." . . .

‘Book of Lies’: Angry Rudy Giuliani Blasts Indictment Charging Him With Racketeering, Labels Fanni Willis & Team ‘Real Criminals’ (msn.com) 

Fani’s Fifteen Minutes of Fame - American Thinker  ..."In the end, however, Fani may be happy to let the feds conduct the trial because some of the 161 “Acts of Racketeering” (ACTs) in the indictment involve dangerous criminals doing dangerous things. For example, here is ACT 6 (in its entirety):

On or about the 21st day of November 2020, MARK RANDALL MEADOWS sent a text message to United States Representative Scott Perry from Pennsylvania and stated, “Can you send me the number for the speaker and the leader of PA legislature. POTUS wants to chat with them.” This was an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy." . . .

 This May Be the Darkest and Most Ridiculous Part of the Biden DOJ's Latest Trump Indictment - Revolver News   "Last week, Biden’s corrupt and weaponized DOJ just issued Trump’s third and most serious criminal indictment. The formal charges of “conspiracy to defraud the United States” do an underwhelmingly half-hearted job of disguising the obvious purpose of the indictment, which is to codify the “disinformation” scam into criminal law generally, and specifically, to criminalize what we might call “election denial”.

"Indeed, there’s a reason the indictment begins with the false, absurd and legally irrelevant claim that Trump made “knowingly false claims” about the 2020 election that “created an intense national atmosphere of mistrust and anger” and eroded “public faith in the administration of the election.”

Despite having lost, the defendant was determined to remain in power. So for more than two months following election day on November 3, 2020, the Defendant spread lies that there had been outcome-determinative fraud in the election and that he had actually won. These claims were false, and the defendant knew that they were false. But the defendant repeated and widely disseminated them anyway—to make his knowingly false claims appear legitimate, create an intense national atmosphere of mistrust and anger, and erode public faith in the administration of the election”

Nevermind for a moment that questioning the legitimacy of an election is First Amendment-protected speech. Let’s focus for now on the ridiculous insistence that Trump “knowingly lied” in his statements concerning the election. To say that Trump “knowingly lied” is to not only dispute his objective (and in our view entirely justified) questions concerning the election, it is to state that subjectively, privately in his own mind, Trump actually thought the election was legitimate — that he legitimately lost, but he lied anyway.. . . 

 

Viral singing sensation Oliver Anthony just took to Facebook to reveal who he really is...

 - Revolver News 

"Oliver Anthony is the name we know him by. He’s the viral music sensation from Virginia who wrote the overnight hit “Rich Men North of Richmond,” a song that’s struck a chord with the American working man and become an anthem against Washington, D.C. political elites.\

"By all accounts, Mr. Anthony seems to be a patriotic, Christian young man leading a simple life filled with hard work and faith. He’s transitioned from factory work to outside sales and clearly has a passion and talent for music. Yet, beyond these facts, we don’t know much about Mr. Anthony. That is, until now.

"The artist goes by “Oliver,” but that’s not his actual name. He recently took to Facebook to open up about his real identity. He’s shared how this unexpected fame has affected his life, both in thrilling and daunting ways. Oliver has also offered some candid insights into his faith, music, the opportunities coming his way, and his intentions for this sudden success. It’s a captivating tale with some truly unexpected twists and turns." . . .

Comment by a reader of this post:   

That's absolutely it. So much of today's music would better be described as assembled by technicians rather than performed by musicians. Quantization and pitch correction, etc. have advanced to the point that any competent editor can cobble together a passable song with recordings from even the most talentless hacks. All you need for a hit song these days is a catchy hook and a pretty face. The lyrics are tailored by committee to appeal to their target audience. They're either completely bland and inoffensive, or else they go to the other extreme and fill them with profanity and filth just for the shock value. It's mediocre by design. Studio execs want you to hear it, buy it, listen to it a few times, and then get completely bored with it so you'll be ready to buy the next bit of insipid drool. That all comes crumbling down as soon as you compare it to a real song like this one, though. The fact it's just (in his own words) "some idiot and his guitar" and not some mind-blowing virtuosic performance just makes it even more threatening. That's the main reason all these studios are slithering up to him now. Sure, they'd love to get the profits from his debut album and maybe a follow up or two, but mainly they want to suppress him. They'd happily let him be the flavor of the month every once in a while, but they don't want him constantly reminding everyone how inferior their products are. Best of luck to you, Mr. Anthony. Stay free.
