Adam Schiff Can’t Stop Undermining Democracy

 The Gateway Pundit | by Gregory Lyakhov  

"Schiff’s scandal is part of a broader Democratic pattern: corruption disguised as “public service.” Hillary Clinton’s email server, Hunter Biden’s shady foreign business deals, Letitia James’ mortgage fraud allegations, and now Adam Schiff’s falsified records all point to a party that treats laws as obstacles for ordinary citizens, not for themselves."

"For years, Senator Adam Schiff built his career accusing Republicans of corruption while pretending to be a defender of democracy.

"Now he stands accused of mortgage fraud in a scandal that underscores not only his hypocrisy but the broader corruption embedded in the Democratic Party

"The Gateway Pundit first broke this story, reporting that Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director William Pulte referred Schiff for criminal investigation earlier this year. 

"In May, Pulte sent the referral to Attorney General Pam Bondi alleging that Schiff falsified bank documents and property records “in multiple instances” to secure more favorable loan terms between 2003 and 2019.

"The property in question is a multimillion-dollar mansion in Potomac, Maryland.

"According to the referral, Schiff falsely claimed the Maryland home as his “primary residence” on loan applications while simultaneously listing his Burbank, California, condo as his “primary residence” on tax filings in order to collect California’s lucrative homeowner exemption. 

"In plain terms, Schiff told two different stories—one to the banks and another to the government—all for personal financial gain.

"For ordinary Americans, such conduct would mean fraud charges. But Schiff, who now postures as a senior statesman in the Senate, wants voters to believe this was just a misunderstanding. 

"What makes Schiff’s case particularly galling is his track record of lecturing Republicans on financial ethics. 

"Schiff has attacked GOP lawmakers over alleged “insider trading” while Democrats, from Nancy Pelosi to Richard Blumenthal, rank among the worst offenders when it comes to stock trading scandals. 

"Schiff postured as a watchdog while his own party traded stocks based on insider knowledge and he himself allegedly falsified mortgage records to pad his finances.

"Schiff has long pushed measures that reveal his contempt for the very institutions he claims to defend. " . . .More...

Pentagon Terminates Security Clearance Of Russia Collusion Hoaxer Susan Miller

 EXCLUSIVE: DOD Pulls Russia Hoaxer Miller's Security Clearance

"Miller should be grateful. The deeply flawed intelligence assessment she has taken credit for may go down as one of the most politically driven, undemocratic spy reports in American history." 

'Susan Miller, the retired CIA spook who lied about her leadership role in the intelligence report that lit the fuse on the Russia collusion hoax bomb, has been stripped of her security clearance, according to two Trump administration officials familiar with the matter. 

"Miller, who served as a senior Central Intelligence Agency Officer, has long boasted about her “full clearance,” particularly while attacking President Donald Trump and his top intelligence officers for shining a light on one of the biggest political scandals in U.S. history. That clearance has now been terminated, the administration officials told The Federalist. 

“This woman totally shouldn’t hold a high level security clearance after pushing the Russia Hoax. All she did was lie to the American people to hurt Trump,” a senior Defense official said of Miller. 

"Miller has made the corporate media rounds of late, attempting to undercut reams of declassified documents exposing the Obama White House and Miller’s former intelligence community bosses for manufacturing the bogus 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment that falsely claimed Russia interfered with the 2016 presidential election with the purpose of electing Donald Trump. Internal communications at the time show career agents warning then-CIA Director John Brennan and then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper that the “intelligence” used to go after Trump was bad and failed to measure up to CIA intelligence-gathering standards. 

"Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard in recent weeks has unsealed bombshell records that she says show “President Obama and his national security cabinet members manufactured and politicized intelligence to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump.” The Trump campaign-Kremlin collusion narrative fell apart after years of investigation, but not before Democrats and the deep state spied on Americans, engaged in political witch hunts, undermined Trump’s first term in the White House, and ruined the lives of their political enemies. 

"In short, the Russia collusion hoax. 

"The usual suspects in the corporate media were along for the ride. As The Federalist reported earlier this month, several media outlets attempted to exploit the former CIA spook’s credentials to diminish the declassified documents and accounts of whistleblowers. They and Miller lied about her involvement in the ICA, describing her as “an author of the agency’s 2017 intelligence report on Russian meddling.” On a left-wing podcast earlier this summer, Miller claimed she “headed up the report team” that compiled the error-ridden intelligence assessment. She did not, senior intelligence sources told real journalist Matt Taibbi and the Racket News. " . . .  More...

Bernie Sanders all but rules out 2028 presidential run: ‘Let’s not worry about that’

 NY Post 

 "In March, Sanders stormed out of an ABC News interview when asked if he would like to see Ocasio-Cortez join the Senate."

"He’s bern-ed out.

" Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) strongly suggested over the weekend that he had no interest in a third run for the presidency in 2028, citing his advanced age.

“Oh, God. Let’s not worry about that. I am going to be 84 years of age next month, as a matter of fact. So I think that speaks for itself,” Sanders told CNN’s “State of the Union” in an interview that aired Sunday.

"The far-left Vermonter launched two bids for the Democratic nomination in 2016 and 2020, losing out to Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, respectively.

"When asked whom he wanted to see bear the Democratic standard in three years, Sanders told host Dana Bash: “I want to see, obviously, the most progressive candidate that we can have … rally the grassroots of America.”

“ 'Will they stand up and fight for economic and social and racial justice? Absolutely. There are some great young people,” added the senator, who declined to mention any names.

"If Sanders were to run in 2028 and win, he’d assume office at the age of 87, becoming the oldest-ever US president.

"Sanders won re-election to the Senate last year, and publicly cast doubt on running for a fifth term in 2030, also due to his age.

"In recent months, Sanders and far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) have crisscrossed the country on their “Fighting Oligarchy” tour, holding their most recent rallies in West Virginia and North Carolina over the weekend." . . .  More...

Why Trump’s Alaska Summit Was a Masterstroke of Leadership And Why the Left Can’t Handle It

 Yassin Fawaz - American Thinker 

"Meanwhile, under Biden’s watch, the world watched America’s influence fade. Allies questioned our commitment, enemies tested our resolve, and chaos spread. Trump is working to reverse all of that."

"In a world where the mainstream media and radical left thrive on lies and misinformation, it’s no surprise that President Trump’s recent diplomatic efforts in Alaska are being twisted and ridiculed. Their agenda is clear: to undermine any success Trump achieves. In today’s political landscape, these forces have perfected the art of distortion, weaponizing every word and action to portray genuine leadership as a failure.

"No matter what President Trump does, they will twist it into failure. The recent Alaska Summit is no exception. They say Trump “left no deal struck,” “made no progress,” or worse, that he “failed.” But here’s the reality they don’t want you to see: Donald Trump showed what real leadership looks like—he took the first steps toward peace in a world desperate for it, put the ball firmly in Russia’s court, and sent a message that America under Trump means business.

"Let’s get one thing crystal clear: this war in Ukraine did not start under Trump’s watch. It started under Joe Biden’s watch, and Biden was a weak, indecisive president who couldn’t keep America safe or respected on the world stage. Biden’s failed policies and feckless approach invited chaos. While Biden played politics and hid behind empty slogans, Trump was out there putting American interests first, rebuilding alliances, and making the tough calls that the radical left couldn’t stomach.

"The Alaska Summit wasn’t a press conference or a reality TV stunt; it was real diplomacy. Trump went all the way to Alaska to face Vladimir Putin, extend a hand of peace, and open a door that the Biden administration ignored. He didn’t come with ultimatums or force deals. Instead, he put the responsibility where it belongs: on Russia, Ukraine, NATO, and Europe. Trump’s message was simple but powerful: Do you want peace? It’s on you to make it happen. No one is forcing anything; no deals are being imposed. That is leadership, not weakness." . . . More...

UPDATED, 8:18: First Lady Melania Trump Evokes Children's 'Melodic Laughter' in Personal Letter to Russia's Putin

 UPDATED, Mon; 8/18: Melania Trump’s Letter to Putin Stands Up for Abducted Children - American Thinker 

. . . "Ukraine has documented nearly 20,000 kidnapped children, though the true number could be many times higher. These boys and girls are not just displaced — they are forced into Russian families, indoctrinated with propaganda, punished for speaking their native tongue, and in some cases subjected to military training. Reports have even exposed online “catalogs” where children are sorted by eye color or hair color for adoption in Russia. This is not wartime collateral damage, but a deliberate campaign to erase a nation by erasing its children." . . .

Dare we expect Greta Thunberg and hundreds of college agers to demonstrate in favor of Putin and his victimizers while blaming Ukraine for "genocide"?

 Fox News.  

"Mr. Putin, you can singlehandedly restore their melodic laughter," the first lady wrote. "In protecting the innocence of these children, you will do more than serve Russia alone—you serve humanity itself."

"EXCLUSIVE: First Lady Melania Trump wrote a "peace letter" to Russian President Vladimir Putin telling him "it is time" to protect children and future generations around the globe, Fox News Digital has learned.

"Fox News Digital exclusively obtained the "peace letter" the first lady penned to Putin, which  President Trump hand-delivered to the Russian leader before their summit in Alaska, Fox News Digital has learned." 

"Dear President Putin," the first lady’s letter begins. "Every child shares the same quiet dreams in their heart, whether born randomly into a nation’s rustic countryside or a magnificent city-center. They dream of love, possibility, and safety from danger."

"As parents, it is our duty to nurture the next generation’s hope," the letter continued. "As leaders, the responsibility to sustain our children extends beyond the comfort of a few."

"Undeniably, we must strive to paint a dignity-filled world for all—so that every soul may wake to peace, and so that the future itself is perfectly guarded," read the letter. "A simple yet profound concept, Mr. Putin, as I am sure you agree, is that each generation’s descendants begin their lives with a purity—an innocence which stands above geography, government, and ideology." . . .  Full article here...
