Liberal silliness, a danger to American society

When "silly" becomes vicious.

Feminists now demanding 'menstrual equity'  "You have to almost feel sorry for feminists.  They've been pushed aside by more virtuous groups like illegal aliens and men disguised as women.  These new identity group darlings have sucked all the oxygen out of the liberal media, forcing feminists to make more and more outlandish claims to get attention, such as:" . . .

Tinfoil Hats: ABC Becomes A Home For Trump/Russia Conspiracies

Why on earth would any Republican agree to willingly be interviewed by Clintonite George Stephanopoulos? I put him in the same class with David Gregory. TD

UVA students triggered by hiring of former Trump official  “This petition goes beyond reasonable objection,” the UVA College Republicans (CR) wrote in a statement. “It highlights the animus those on the left possess for anyone affiliated with conservatism. It transcends hatred for President Trump. The most concerning aspect is the petition’s endorsement by members of the University faculty. Faculty members should be welcoming new voices on our Grounds, not attempting to eradicate them.”

Does Hillary get royalties every time the Trump Dossier is used by Democrats?

Sen. Rubio likes what the FBI is doing and I'm sure John McCain does as well.

Graham: Warrant for Carter Page surveillance was 'a bunch of garbage'

. . . "Asked on CBS's "Face the Nation" whether a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant obtained on Carter Page, a former foreign policy adviser on President Trump's campaign, was justified, Graham insisted that it was not and that the opposition research dossier that helped lay the foundation for the warrant application was bunk.

" 'If the dossier is the reason you issued the warrant, it was a bunch of garbage," Graham said. "The dossier has proven to be a bunch of garbage."

"He also said that the warrant application, which was released by the Justice Department on Saturday, served as proof that "the whole FISA warrant process needs to be looked at.' " . . .

FISA warrant application supports Nunes memo  . . . "On Saturday night, the denouncing started again. "The only thing the newly released FISA documents show is that Republicans have been lying for months," the lefty think tank Center for American Progress said in a typical response.

"Now, however, we have both the memo and the FISA application, if in a blacked-out state. We can compare the two. And doing so shows the Nunes memo was overwhelmingly accurate. Perhaps some Democrats do not believe it should have been written, or they dispute what it included and left out, or they do not agree with its conclusions, but it was in fact accurate." . . .

Oops! Alleged Russian spy Maria Butina met with Obama officials in 2015

Thomas Lifson  "Desperate Trump-haters, searching for something – anything! – to show that the Trump administration is in bed with Vladimir Putin seized on the news a week ago that a young Russian named Maria Butina had been indicted for violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), or, in the words of the DOJ, for "conspiracy to act as an agent of the Russian Federation within the United States without prior notification to the Attorney General."

" . . .Emily Singer, a senior political reporter for Mic, tweeted out a photo from inside the White House and claimed that Maria Butina, who was charged Monday for conspiring against the U.S. as a secret Russian agent, was among a gaggle of staffers inside the Oval Office.  She later realized her mistake and deleted the tweet, but only after it went viral.

. . . "But alas, it turned out that she was an opportunist who would meet with Obama officials if given the chance.  And she did.  TheBlaze reports:" . . .

. . . "A set-up by the FBI?  Let's see – who was in charge of counter-terrorism there?  That's right: Peter Strzok, the man whose expert imitation of a man demonically possessed impressed so many observers.

"Ms. Chapman has found work in Mother Russia:"

"Am I the only person who remembers another Russian red-head deep-cover spy named Anna Chapman?  She was uncovered during the Obama administration, in 2011, and was said to have used her good looks to entice various male officials into her bed and into security lapses.  And am I the only person who thought it reeked of a cover-up that she and her colleagues were rapidly traded for U.S. people arrested in Russia – without even an attempt to get her to spill the beans on whom she seduced for what intelligence?"

Obama’s Former Director of National Intelligence Says Obama Behind Entire Russia Witch Hunt!

The Gateway Pundit

"President Obama’s former Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, came clean on CNN and stated that former President Obama was behind spying on President Trump!

"James Clapper was on CNN yesterday and he stated that Obama was behind spying on President Trump and all the corrupt and criminal actions involving the government, including the Mueller investigation –

"According to Obama’s former spy chief, James Clapper, who appeared on CNN to say it was Obama who set the entire Russia witch-hunt into motion by tasking the intelligence community assessment.

"Clapper said –

If it weren’t for President Obama we might not have done the intelligence community assessment that we did that set up a whole sequence of events which are still unfolding today including Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation.  President Obama is responsible for that.  It was he who tasked us to do that intelligence community assessment in the first place.

‘White House Should Defend Diplomats,’ Says Hillary Clinton, Who Let U.S. Diplomats Die

The White House’s statements on Wednesday were troubling, and the executive branch should wholeheartedly defend our diplomats at home and abroad, especially against hostile foreign powers. However, given her reprehensible record at defending American diplomats , Clinton should be the last person to criticize the current administration as “hesitant.”

The Federalist  "Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton criticized the White House on Twitter on Thursday for failing to defend an American ambassador. 
...Twitter Ads info and privacy

Clinton’s tweet addressed theWhite House’s inability to rule out, in a press briefing on Wednesday, letting Russia question former ambassador Michael McFaul in exchange for the United States questioning the 12 Russian hackers who hacked the Democratic National Committee.

About two hours after the tweet, the White House released a statement, saying that President Trump would not let the Russian government interrogate McFaul. The Senate shortly after passed a nonbinding, unanimous resolution, 98-0, that condemned the exchange.

Clinton’s advocacy for American diplomats struck plenty of folks as hypocritical given the terror attack in Benghazi, Libya during her tenure as secretary of state, in which a U.S. diplomat died at a compound where Clinton, for political reasons, had repeatedly refused to authorize increased security.

Kavanaugh Inches Closer To Confirmation Hearing With New Filing

Weasel Zippers

"Clear sailing unless he offended someone while in first grade.

"Via Politico:

"Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh formally returned a 110-page questionnaire along with more than 2,000 pages of accompanying material to the Senate Judiciary Committee late Friday, bringing himself one step closer to a scheduled confirmation hearing.
"Kavanaugh stated in his responses to the committee that, before President Donald Trump tapped him for the high court, no member of the administration or others involved in the vetting processed had asked about “any currently pending or specific case, legal issue, or question in a manner that could reasonably be interpreted as seeking any express or implied assurances concerning your position on such case, issue, or question.' ” . . .

Maxine Waters statement on her supporters' burning of the American flag

Where in her statement do you find condemnation of this group's actions?

“While I do not agree with torching the flag as a form of protest, I understand the Constitution guarantees everyone the right to this form of free expression.”

The left's 'hippies spitting on troops in airports' act is back: Michelle Wolf demonizes ICE

Monica Showalter  "The always obnoxious leftwing comedian, Michelle Wolf, is back, this time demonizing ICE agents. She's got a new video on Netflix that she's spreading around on Twitter. Her target is the people who stop human trafficking rings bringing in underage girls, and who bust up modern slavery rings. That's ICE doing its job, while Wolf portrays them as baby killers of very base intentions, grotesque people who are revolted at the sight of happy Mexicans at their wonderful big family celebrations, as well as criminally inclined and pig-stupid to boot. And of course, it's part of the foolish Democratic party agenda to "Abolish ICE!"
. . . 

"There's a link with noise here.

"What a putrid attack. It's a demonization of human beings over a policy dispute, and it's over the line. Seriously, Wolf portrays ICE as ISIS (ICE Is, get it?) with ISIS-like flags, hateful agents looking macho and saying repulsive things, virgins and heaven as their mission objective (complete with a cheesy Protestant-looking cross), agents gun-firing into the air the way Middle Eastern terrorists like to do, and an actress portraying ICE secretary Kristjen Nielsen as someone looking for people with mental health problems as suitable agent material." . . .
. . . 
"This demonization of actual people on the ground is redolent of the kinds of leftist excesses that went on during the 1960s, back when anti-Vietnam war protestors* and hippies would spit on U.S. troops returning from battle at airports. Wolf herself has always been rabid and disgusting. She was the one who did theinsult-fest against Sarah Sanders at the White House correspondent's dinner back in April. She uses filthy language, too." . . .

Obama admin. sent taxpayer money to campaign to oust Netanyahu

Washington Times

"The State Department paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayers grants to an Israeli group that used the money to build a campaign to oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in last year’s Israeli parliamentary elections, a congressional investigation concluded Tuesday.

"Some $350,000 was sent to OneVoice, ostensibly to support the group’s efforts to back Israeli-Palestinian peace settlement negotiations. But OneVoice used the money to build a voter database, train activists and hire a political consulting firm with ties to President Obama’s campaign — all of which set the stage for an anti-Netanyahu campaign, the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations said in a bipartisan staff report.

"In one stunning finding, the subcommittee said OneVoice even told the State Department’s top diplomat in Jerusalem of its plans in an email, but the official, Consul General Michael Ratney, claims never to have seen them.

"He said he regularly deleted emails with large attachments — a striking violation of open-records laws for a department already reeling from former Secretary Hillary Clinton’s handling of official government records." 

"Mr. Netanyahu survived the election, and the U.S. spending was not deemed illegal because the State Department never put any conditions on the money. Investigators also said OneVoice didn’t turn explicitly political until days after the grant period ended." . . .

Maxine Waters and her voters in the news again

Maxine Waters Supporters Burn American Flag, Scream ‘Black Power’ in Counter Protest

"The Oath Keepers planned a protest outside of the congressional office of Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) on Monday. She complained and told her supporters not to engage with them.

"The group did not show up, but her supporters did. They burned an American flag and chanted“black power” in their counter protest.

"Police officers went to the scene in order to ensure security, but those in contact with Oath Keepers said the group “decided not to come in order to ensure peace.”

That did not stop her supporters. From The Los Angeles Times:

. . . 

At one point, counterprotesters pulled a small American flag off of a pickup, doused it in lighter fluid and set it ablaze. The crowd then began chanting, cursing the government and saying, “America was never great.”

"Other people screamed “Black power” and held “Resist!” signs."
". . . Jnmarie seems to forget that only last month “Auntie Maxine,” the nickname given to her by her constituents, encouraged her supporters that if you see anyone in Trump’s administration out in public “you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”

"Waters also went on MSNBC and went more in depth about her message:" . . .

We have seen for years how violent Water's voters will be  (Video)
It's not that only these violent men in this video are the concern, but the Waters constituents on the sidewalks cheering them on. TD

Oh My: Hillary Can't Remember a Time When the White House Failed to Defend a Diplomat

Katie Pavlich  "On Wednesday President Trump came under heavy fire after White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders confirmed the administration was considering allowing Russian agents to interrogate former U.S. Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul and other Americans." . . .

. . . "While the criticism overall was certainly warranted, Clinton should sit this one out.

"On September 11, 2012 U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, in addition to three other Americans, were murdered by terrorists in Benghazi, Libya. They were attacked after months of dire warnings from Stevens that the consulate needed more security. Further, President Obama and Clinton were missing in action during the attack and Americans on the ground waited 20-hours for help to arrive." . . .
