NeverTrump's Collusion In the Trump-Russia #Spygate Scandal

Julie Kelly  "As the history of the Trump-Russia collusion hoax is being written, one group deserves a vaunted perch atop the proverbial Hall of Shame: NeverTrump “conservatives.”

"For nearly three years, these Trump-hating propagandists on the Right have aided the most mendacious forces on the Left in a grievous attempt to take down the Republican president of the United States. While they preened, prattled, and proselytized about how much better they are than deplorable Trumpists, NeverTrumpers en masse abandoned their so-called traditional conservative principles in order to aid a Hillary Clinton-DNC-Obama Administration scheme to destroy the political pariah who won the presidency over their collective objection.

"In the process, they tried to rewrite the fundamental tenets of American conservatism. Behavior that once would’ve sparked outrage in conservative quarters has been normalized, even justified, by self-proclaimed conservatives.

"Because Trump is president, now it is “conservative” to present fictional opposition research as legitimate evidence to the most powerful law enforcement officials in the world. Because Trump is president, now it is “conservative” to violate the privacy rights of a U.S. citizen who made the mistake of volunteering for the wrong campaign. Because Trump is president, now it is “conservative” to frame a three-star general and cheer as he loses his reputation and his life savings over a manufactured process crime.

"Because Trump is president, now it is “conservative” to defend the weaponization of our most trusted institutions—from the FBI to a secret court created to protect the country from foreign criminals—and disguise those actions as “the right thing to do.” Because Trump is president, now it is “conservative” to promote an untethered investigation run by revenge-seeking partisans and justify their manipulation of every lever of federal authority.

"Because Trump is president, now it is “conservative” to appear on left-leaning cable news shows and editorial pages to suggest the president—without evidence—is a Russian shill, agent, stooge, and worse, a traitor, whose days are numbered. Because Trump is president, now it is “conservative” to attack Republican lawmakers attempting to expose how unelected bureaucrats abused their power to target innocent Americans.

Functionally Left-Wing. . . 

. . . "Kristol’s Trump-Russia collusion fixation has been shared by his pals Jonah Goldberg and David French at National Review. Although Goldberg has publicly insisted he is a “collusion skeptic,” he has promoted several collusion plotlines, including the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting between Russian lobbyists and Trump’s campaign team, including the president’s oldest son." . . . 

. . . "There are other lesser-known NeverTrumpers who have peddled the collusion hoax over the past two years: Tom Nichols, Jennifer Rubin, Evan McMullin, and Rick Wilson to name a few. None of them appears to be backing down or owning up to their own participation in this seditious plot. " . . .

Media Trying to Turn a Biden Scandal into a Trump Scandal

Ben Garrison

The Democrats are desperate for any anti-Trump negativity. They’ll take anything and blow it up into a full-fledged scandal.

"The latest Fake News springs from an anonymous US intelligence operative in Ukraine. His ‘whistle blowing’ amounted to nothing and it has already been discredited. The individual apparently doesn’t like the President. Trump called him a partisan. His whistle blowing has already been determined to be a baseless accusation. It’s not actionable under the law.
"Trump did nothing wrong, but the Democrats are in a frenzy. They’re now drumming up a new witch-hunt based on the hollow whistle blowing. It will be used to expedite impeach proceedings against the president.
"Some Democrats immediately launched into hysterics. Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi want the whistleblower’s complaint brought before Congress. Cory Booker hyped up the accusation as ’stunning’ and called Trump’s administration the ‘most corrupt’ of his lifetime. Hillary Clinton stated Trump “asked a foreign power to help him win an election. Again.” An ironic statement from her and drenched in hypocrisy, considering she paid for a Russian dossier filled with anti-Trump lies in an attempt to remove him from office.
"Clinton has no problem engaging in treason and getting help from foreign powers—including communist China. The shrill Elizabeth Warren urged Congress to Impeach Trump, calling it their Constitutional duty while claiming Trump isn’t above the law. Well, we all know Hillary certainly is—she remains protected by the Deep State.
"It has become clear the Democrats will not let the president do his job without their endless harassment. They can’t come up with legitimate reasons to impeach him, so they invent reasons.
"They don’t need facts or the law on their side. They’re leaving a lot of broken whistles in their wake. —Ben Garrison

REVEALED: Whistleblower who claims Trump repeatedly pressured Ukraine president to investigate Joe Biden and his son Hunter for corruption during phone call 'DID NOT actually listen to the communication between the leaders'  . . . "A source told CNN that the official 'did not have direct knowledge of the communications' instead relying on 'learning information that was not obtained during the course of their work'." . . . 


Peter Schweizer on Whistleblower: Media Trying to Turn a Biden Scandal into a Trump Scandal   . . . "Schweizer maintained, “It needs to be investigated. They need to be held to account, and by the way, I think that if you change the name from Hunter Biden to Don Jr. or Eric Trump, I think you would have an entirely different tone by the media and by the Congress, and that’s a shame, [because] it should be consistent with whoever’s doing it. They’re trying to turn what was a Biden scandal into a Trump scandal, and I think what we need to do is focus on the larger issue here that the Biden family was getting millions of dollars from these overseas connected people going to Joe Biden’s son to allegedly do work that he had no qualifications to do.' ” . . .

Biden Accuses Trump of Abusing Power by Highlighting Son’s Ties to Ukraine

Joe Biden and his son Hunter can’t keep their Ukraine story straight  . . . "There’s nothing quite like a public lie to signal to the public that they are being deceived. As the purported whistleblower scandal plays out in the days ahead, all of the media hysteria over alleged Trump improprieties will blow back onto Biden, now exposed as covering up something." . . .
Not if Adam Schiff has anything to do with it.

Greta Thunberg and Other Child Hostages Obey Their Climate Captors

"It would be easy to ignore Thunberg as the climate cabal’s latest pawn, but every parent should pay attention. Thunberg (not to mention millions like her) is the product of more than two decades of dangerous climate propaganda. They are hostages to their adult climate captors – from presidents to celebrities to teachers and religious leaders."

Intellectual Takeout.

September 20, 2019; "On Friday, schoolchildren around the world will be prompted to walk out of class as part of the “Global Climate Strike.” These young “climate strikers” will protest alleged inaction on climate change and promote an end to fossil fuel use.

“ 'Our house is on fire – let’s act like it. We demand climate justice for everyone,” the event’s website warns.

"It is the latest stunt orchestrated by the international climate cabal and yet another example of how the left shamelessly exploits and manipulates children to propagandize any cause. (Think of the high school students in Parkland, Florida.) But this time, the climate cabal is using a special-needs teenager from Sweden to indoctrinate more children and adults with climate change dogma.

"Greta Thunberg is a 16-year-old from Stockholm – which is ironic because the teen exhibits many traits associated with a hostage attempting to please her captors.

"In a way, Thunberg is not the face of a climate crisis but an alarming example of how the climate cabal has needlessly terrified two generations of young people. The emotional, physical, and intellectual damage wrought by the climate change movement now is coming into clear view and it’s an outcome that should enrage every parent.

"Watching Thunberg speak evokes a combination of sadness, pity, and anger. She’s diminutive and far more childlike in her mannerisms and presentation than a typical teenager. It’s unclear whether she truly grasps the issue she is promoting – what is clear is that many adults are using her to generate sympathy and support for a dangerous crusade that they, as grown-ups, cannot carry out on their own.

"Thunberg, the story goes, became so distraught over climate change that she briefly dropped out of school in 2018 to protest the Swedish parliament. Her climate trauma began at age 8, when she first started hearing tales of climate doom at school." . . .

UPDATE: Sept 23:  The Tragedy Of Greta Thunberg, Our Lady of Sorrows
. . . "It’s the fault of ideologues who obsess over every weather event as if it were Armageddon, ignoring the massive moral upside of carbon-fueled modernity. It’s the politicians, too cowardly to tell voters that their utopian notion of a world fueled by solar panels and windmills is fairy tale.
"It’s the fault of media that ignores overwhelming evidence that, on balance, climate change isn’t undermining human flourishing. By nearly every quantifiable measure, in fact, we are better off because of fossil fuels — though there is no way to measure the human spirit, I’m afraid." . . .

What’s behind climate change activist Greta Thunberg’s remarkable rise to fame?
. . . "Less than a year ago, she was an unknown schoolgirl from Sweden, albeit an unusual one: she is the daughter of a famous opera singer and an actor. Thunberg also has Asperger’s syndrome, obsessive-compulsive disorder and selective mutism." . . .
. . . "Thunberg’s school strike had coincided neatly with the launch of a book about climate change written by her mother, Malena Ernman. Is this a coincidence? It looks less like one when you learn . . . "
. . . "But now, the ‘Wizard of Oz’ outfits and the pigtails look to be less odd and more calculated: the careful packaging of a product so that it gets noticed rather than an unusual penchant for 1950s fashion. What we have seen is surely an example of marketing genius rather than a miraculous stroke of luck." . . .

We spy on our president?

Biden should be prosecuted for using his public office for private gain. The fact that he was so casual about it -- bragging about it -- shows this was a common occurrence for him and Obama. The fact that the media did not blow this up into a Covington Catholic MAGA Cap scandal shows the media is in on the scam.

Don Surber  "Well, well, well, the much trumpeted whistle-blower scandal promoted by the Washington Post and the New York Times turns out to be an attempt to bring Joe Biden's cocaine-addled son to justice.

"Last year, Biden bragged that as vice president, he put the arm on Ukraine not to prosecute Hunter Biden in a bribery scandal.
"The son received $600,000 a year from Burisma Holdings, Ukraine gas company, for a no show job.
"Ukrainian prosecutors were investigating the company's bribery.
"Biden stepped in to stop it.
"He said last year, "I remember going over (to Ukraine), convincing our team … that we should be providing for loan guarantees. … And I was supposed to announce that there was another billion-dollar loan guarantee. And I had gotten a commitment from (then Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko) and from (then-Prime Minister Arseniy) Yatsenyuk that they would take action against the state prosecutor (Shokin). And they didn’t…
" 'They were walking out to a press conference. I said, nah, … we’re not going to give you the billion dollars. They said, ‘You have no authority. You’re not the president.’ … I said, call him. I said, I’m telling you, you’re not getting the billion dollars. I said, you’re not getting the billion. … I looked at them and said, ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money.’ Well, son of a bitch. He got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time."
"That is corruption." . . .

'Are we going to do it again?': Bill Maher warns Democrats against attacks on Brett Kavanaugh

The Kavanaugh family before the Judiciary hearings.

Washington Examiner  "Bill Maher criticized Democrats for resurfacing unsubstantiated sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and calling for the judge's impeachment.
"Maher, the host of Real Time with Bill Maher, used his Friday night show to attack Democratic strategy and warned of the "Kavanaugh effect" that possibly cost multiple swing-state Democratic senators their seats in 2018.

Booker and Harris enjoying the destruction of the Judge.

"In the 2018 election, it looks like Democrats could’ve won Indiana, North Dakota, Florida, Missouri, and West Virginia. All five were home to Democratic senators running for election in tight races. Joe Manchin, the only one that voted for Kavanaugh, won. The other four lost," Maher said, describing the "Kavanaugh effect."
" 'They have polling on this. People did not like going after a guy for what he did in high school. It looked bad, and now Democrats are talking about impeaching him again?" Maher asked his panel.
"NBC analyst Heather McGhee defended Democratic attacks on Kavanaugh, asserting that the allegations against Kavanaugh are relevant to his Supreme Court position as a "moral arbiter."
" 'Yes, it was about something a long time ago, but it goes to character. We are not talking about a job like we have. We are talking about being one of the nine moral arbiters of this great nation," McGhee said.

Milano's publicity shot.

"Maher called Kavanaugh a "creep" but maintained that Democratic attacks on the judge are mistakes and that people’s actions from high school should not burden them for the rest of their lives.
"Democratic attacks on Kavanaugh ramped up again after New York Times reporters Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly adapted an excerpt from their book for an article in the newspaper. 
"The article appeared to drop a bombshell accusation against Kavanaugh that had not yet been reported, but the New York Times later corrected the article to reflect that the alleged victim did not remember the incident in question.
"Before the article was corrected, several Democratic presidential candidates called for Kavanaugh's impeachment, including California Sen. Kamala Harris, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke, and South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg."

Whistleblower Complaint Now Looks Like Democrat Effort to Protect Joe Biden from Investigation…

The Last Refuge  "The mysterious “whistleblower” case now looks like a coordinated Democrat effort to block any investigation of presidential candidate Joe Biden for corrupt pressure on Ukraine to drop the investigation of Burisma, an energy company operating in the country, on which his son Hunter Biden was a board member.

In March 2016, then Vice-President Joe Biden warned Ukraine that $1 billion in loan guarantees would be withheld by the U.S. unless they replaced Viktor Shokin, the prosecutor general who was investigating Hunter Biden.  Ukraine did remove Shokin, and the prosecution was dropped.  It looks like a clear case of a quid-pro-quo.

"However, as things are starting to shake out, the current obfuscation to protect Joe Biden is President Trump asking Ukraine’s new president Volodymyr Zelensky to take another look at the issues surrounding the former government’s decision to fire the Ukrainian prosecutor.  This is presumably the call concerning to the whistleblower.  To wit, democrats see this as Trump asking Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 election.

Washington Post – A whistleblower complaint about President Trump made by an intelligence official centers on Ukraine, according to two people familiar with the matter, which has set off a struggle between Congress and the executive branch.

The complaint involved communications with a foreign leader and a “promise” that Trump made, which was so alarming that a U.S. intelligence official who had worked at the White House went to the inspector general of the intelligence community, two former U.S. officials said.

House Hearing Erupts After Republican Confronts Al Sharpton Over Anti-Semitic, Anti-White Remarks

Daily Caller

"House Judiciary Committee hearing on policing erupted Thursday after GOP Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz confronted Al Sharpton over anti-Semitic and anti-white remarks he has allegedly made throughout his career.
"During the hearing, Gaetz used his allotted time to read quotes attributed to Sharpton about Jewish people, whites and some blacks.
“ 'Have you ever referred to members of the Jewish faith as ‘white interlopers’ or ‘diamond merchants?'” Gaetz asked at one point during a tense back-and-forth.
“ 'No sir, I referred to one in Harlem, an individual,” Sharpton acknowledged.
"Sharpton also said he did not recall quotes attributed to him regarding “crackers” and “homos.' ”

'Equal-opportunity attacker': Sharpton bristles at Gaetz confrontation in chaotic House hearing   . . . "Nadler, 72, called Gaetz's questioning "obnoxious" but said he could not object to them. "This is an outrage," Democratic Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee cut in, saying Gaetz was impugning Sharpton's character. Gaetz and Sharpton continued yelling at each other before Nadler cut them off, saying the congressman's time had expired.

"Sharpton rose to prominence in the '80s and '90s for his activism, which has been described as "race-baiting." He is especially notorious for his role in the 1991 Crown Heights riots." . . . 

“Liberals Clarify Their Racism Is Actually Democratic Racism.”  "Racism and anti-Semitism keep surfacing in liberal circles, much as the sexual predators of “me too” fame mostly turn out to be on the left. So what should liberals do? The Babylon Bee encourages them not to back down: “Liberals Clarify Their Racism Is Actually Democratic Racism.” Hey, it worked for socialism. Right?" . . .

. . . "More and more, as Democrats demonize “whiteness,” they are coming out of the closet as racists. (Although, to be fair, their belief that blacks can’t think for themselves politically is racist, as is their willingness to discriminate against Asians.) But hey–when Democrats do it, it’s democratic!"

On Racism; that Babylon Bee article: Liberals Clarify Their Racism Is Actually Democratic Racism  
"Liberals seem to have a problem as more Justin Trudeau blackface photos have surfaced. Meanwhile, Democratic politicians in America continue to say anti-semitic things.
"In their defense, liberals have come out to clarify that their racism isn't the destructive kind condemned by most of humanity, but rather, it's a new improved form called "democratic racism."
"It's not racism---it's democratic racism," Justin Trudeau assured supporters as 78 new images surfaced of him in various shades of brown makeup. "It's totally different from regular racism, and to imply that our racism is the same as the bad kind of racism is ignorant."
To separate the new democratic racism from old, boring racism, liberals pointed out that their form is very popular, and that their base is willing to defend their racist actions and comments. "See, they voted for us, and no matter what crazy racist comments we make, they'll vote for us again," said Ilhan Omar. "Where regular racism is condemned by all, democratic racism is voted for by our supporters. So it's, like, democratic."
"Also, white men are bad."
