The Most Egregious Series of 'Corrupt Acts' Ever

Jack Cashill
Johnny Chung described the state of affairs a bit more colorfully. “The White House is like a subway,” he told the Thompson committee. “You have to put in coins to open the gates.” Chung admitted to funneling $100,000 from the Chinese Military to the Democratic National Committee.

"The century-long attempt to kill capitalism in America gained a dramatic head of steam in the 1960s with the rapid ascendency of progressivism, a Marxist movement that would quietly seize control of the Democratic Party over the last half-century.  
Which was something different. For most of America’s 244-year history, the dominant political parties that evolved had a common goal constantly working to improve the country they both loved.  In the 1860s, a Republican president went to war to end slavery.  A century later, a Democratic president launched another well-intentioned war, a war on poverty.  Democrats and Republicans alike largely saw their country as a force for good, both at home and abroad.  Beginning in the 1960s, that widely- shared view began to show cracks as the progressive movement began tightening its grip on the modern Democratic Party.  Democrat icons of the 1960s -- Adlai Stevenson, Henry “Scoop” Jackson, Sam Nunn, Hubert Humphrey and JFK, to name a few -- were genuine patriots who loved their country, a sentiment that was shared by a large majority of that era’s rank and file Democrats.  Such is no longer the case. Here are four ways Democrats are looking to end the idea of America altogether:
. . . 
"Democrats like Jerry Nadler and Nancy Pelosi were in Congress for all of this. Schiff was there for the tail end. If they were really concerned about acts that “endangered U.S. national security” they would have moved to impeach the traitor themselves."

The Iowa Caucus Just Crashed and Burned and Democrats Will Never Hear the End of It

Via American Thinker
PJ Media "The Iowa caucus data operation just crashed and burned. That means that it could take days to get find out who actually won the Democratic contest – the first of the 2020 presidential election cycle.
"Gobsmacked candidates have come out to throw confetti, drop balloons, and declare "on to New Hampshire!"
"There's nothing else to do except to declare victory and move on. No one really knows, right?
"Joe Biden's lawyers have sent the Iowa caucus organizers a sternly worded letter ordering them not to reveal the winner until the results are cleared with them." . . .
. . . Speculation has begun in earnest. Bernie Sanders can't help but think that mainstream Dems are after him again and will do anything to keep him from the party nomination. Robby Mook, Hillary Clinton's data czar and strategist from 2016, has had suspicion cast on him since he participated in conceiving of the Iowa caucus data platform with Harvard University. Or, of course, Democrats could blame the Russians again without allowing the FBI another look-see under the hood. That'll be good for another impeachment of Trump in a second term, right?" . . .

Adam Schiff Warns Donald Trump Could Give Alaska to the Russians If Not Impeached

Breitbart  



. . . "Schiff disagreed with the president’s lawyers, who argued that Trump’s actions were not criminal and should thus not be considered impeachable.
"He warned that they were setting a precedent that would only encourage Trump to pursue “unacceptable” actions if exonerated.
“ 'Trump could offer Alaska to the Russians in exchange for support in the next election,” he said. “Or decide to move to Mar-a-Lago personally and let Jared Kushner run the country, delegating to him the decision whether to go to war.”
"Schiff said Senate Republicans would create a “runaway presidency” if they failed to remove him from office.
“ 'We have known since the day we brought these charges that the bar to conviction requiring a full two-thirds of the Senate may be prohibitively high,” he said. “And yet, the alternative is a runaway presidency and a nation whose elections are open to the highest bidder.' ” . . .

Adam Schiff wraps up impeachment with egg all over his face  "With a listing, massively failing impeachment ship to navigate back home, and news focused on Iowa, you'd think House impeachment manager Adam Schiff would want to make his grand exit closing speech with some kind of dignity.

"No such luck.  He went out like a nut instead, throwing out crazy talk and reminding voters that the whole thing was a cooked up plot by anti-Trump lunatics." . . .


Rush Limbaugh's Lung Cancer Announcement

Rush Limbaugh says he’s been diagnosed with lung cancer  More here 
. . . "Many years ago, I wrote at my blog an appreciation of Rush, which he was kind enough to read on the air. It was then and remains the single most exciting day I ever had as a blogger. In it, I related a conversation I had with someone who was afraid to listen to Rush lest Rush change his Leftist point of view. I closed with these words, which are as true now as they were a decade ago when I wrote them:. . . " Andrea Widburg



Rush Limbaugh says he’s been diagnosed with lung cancer

Breitbart on Rush:  . . ."
And I feel thankful at Thanksgiving, but Christmas it really gets to me. But over the years, a lot of people have been very nice telling me how much this program has meant to them. But whatever that is, it pales in comparison to what you all have meant to me. And I can’t describe this. But I know you’re there every day. I can see you. It’s strange how, but I know you’re there.
"I know you’re there in great numbers, and I know that you understand everything I say. The rest of the world may not when they hear it expressed a different way, but I know that you do. You’ve been one of the greatest sources of confidence that I’ve had in my life. So I hope I will be talking about this as little as necessary in the coming days.
"But we’ve got a great bunch of doctors, a great team assembled. We’re at full-speed ahead on this, and it’s just now a matter of implementing what we are gonna be told later this week. So I’ll be back here. I hope I’ll be back Thursday. If not, it will be as soon as I can — and know that every day I’m not here, I’ll be thinking about you and missing you. Thank you very much."
Rush’s cancer announcement gives leftists another chance to show their hate  "Once upon a time in America, a country with a two-party political system stretching back more than two hundred years, when people of one party learned that a respected member of the other party was ill, they put aside their political differences to express sympathy and extend good wishes.
"On the Republican side of the aisle, that continues to be the case. On the Democrat side, though, too many people no longer pretend to feel sympathy for the sick or the bereaved.
"To these fanatic leftists, all conservatives are effectively Hitler. This means that the only right and proper response to hearing bad news about a Republican is to celebrate. And that, sadly, is how some Democrats and their NeverTrump fellow travelers are choosing to respond to the news about Rush Limbaugh’s cancer diagnosis." . . .

Mike Bloomberg Ad Uses Obama-Era Footage Of Caged Migrants To Criticize Trump

Daily Caller   "Mike Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York City and contender for the Democratic presidential nomination, released an anti-Trump campaign advertisement that included footage of caged migrants in 2014 — during the Obama era.
" 'The Bloomberg campaign released an ad that was meant to highlight unflattering events that have occurred during the Trump administration, such as the white nationalist march in Charlottesville, Virginia, the aftermath of a Florida school shooting, the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, and immigration enforcement at the U.S.-Mexico border." . . .Video at the site  If this video does not open
. . . "The campaign took direct aim at the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement measures, clipping images of Border Patrol agents doing their job and featuring footage of detained migrants. However, a review by the Daily Caller News Foundation found that one still image used in the ad was taken in 2014 — during the Obama administration." . . .

CNN Says It's Excluded From Lunch With Trump

Newsmax


CNN anchors Wolf Blitzer, Don Lemon, and Anderson Cooper.
CNN said  the network has been excluded from a Tuesday
 luncheon with  President Donald Trump
"President Donald Trump is reportedly excluding CNN from a Tuesday luncheon with network anchors in advance of his State of the Union address.
"CNN anchors Anderson Cooper and Wolf Blitzer had attended last year’s lunch. However, they are not invited this year, the news network said.
"Presidents traditionally invite anchors from all major networks to dine in advance of the State of the Union. Conversations during the lunch are considered off the record. However, the anchors are able to talk to the president before they oversee coverage of the speech.
"CNN reported it is the first time in "recent memory that a president has singled out one network and opted not invite any anchors from there.”
"White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham did not respond to a request for comment, according to the news network. 
"Trump has regularly attacked CNN during his time in the White House and has refused all the network’s request for a sit down interview." . . .
How much does CNN hate Trump? 93% of coverage is negative
Sort of like this? Obama takes on hate and Trump takes on Obama

Watch Biden Snap At 'Today' Show Anchor Over Hunter & Burisma Questions

Zero Hedge  "A year ago the mainstream media treated the Biden-Ukraine scandal as a crank conspiracy theory that belonged only to remote corners of the internet. But now, headed into the Iowa caucuses, the mainstream is finally and much-belatedly peppering Joe Biden with the relevant questions. 
"On Monday morning the Today show aired a testy interview between the Democratic presidential candidate and co-anchor Savannah Guthrie. In a rare moment, Guthrie pressed the 77-year old candidate on the issue, saying the irony of the Trump impeachment proceedings is that they shine an uncomfortable light on Hunter Biden's high-paying job on the board of Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings.
"Despite what appears his best efforts at straining to control his temper, Biden snaps at one point. With an exasperated look on his face he shoots back: “You’re saying things you don’t know what you’re talking about!' ” . . .

Left-wing Twitter celebrates Rush Limbaugh’s cancer diagnosis

The Post Millennial


"Heartless left-wing Twitter users reacted to news of Rush Limbaugh’s advanced-stage cancer diagnosis exactly as you’d expect—with cruel remarks, and even celebration.
"Limbaugh, the longtime host of the Rush Limbaugh Show airing since 1988, dropped the news on his radio show Monday, and while most on the right were sending thoughts, prayers, and sincere wishes, the left had a different tone.
. . . "Replies under the Huffington Post’s tweet were particularly egregious. Many mocked Limbaugh, celebrated cancer of all things, and many called the diagnosis “karma.”

Do you feel violated? America was raped by the Democrats!

Tony Branco
Nolan Chart   via Doug Ross Journal
"If the Democrats controlled the Senate, President Trump would have been removed from office without the Democrats having proved a “high crime or misdemeanor.”  Simply put, it was a witch hunt, and it did emanate from the same type folks that actually burned witches at the stake in New England.
""The Democrats called 17 witnesses and not one could point to a crime they witnessed.  They have been calling for impeachment since two days after Trump’s election in November 2016.
" 'President Trump has been endlessly investigated and they found absolutely nothing.
" 'Benjamin Franklin, when asked what they given the people, said, ” A republic if you can keep it.”  We have seen in the past four weeks, just how fragile the republic is.  It rested on the votes of two.
" 'For the past several years we have been told about the efforts of foreign nations, whether it be Russia, or the Ukraine, or China, or Australia, or the United Kingdom, have tried to influence our elections.  Clearly that reality has been highlighted throughout this process.
" 'Mark Levin said our Constitution and our nation are under attack, and that for now, we survived by the “slimmest of margins.”  And he is right.
" 'The one thing the impeachment did do, at least for me, is provide the time and means to summarize and organize what has been occurring in our nation since 2015." . . .

Watch Schiff's Hilarious Attempt to Stop Nadler From Delivering Closing Remarks


"Jerry...Jerry!...JERRY!"
Leah Barkoukis  . . . “This is INCREDIBLE. Schiff tried to stop Nadler! You can hear him call him to stop. And then he showed why," National Republican Senate Committee senior advisor Matt Whitlock tweeted. "Dems ask for a closing statement on the night. Nadler, clearly fed up, jumps to his feet and scurries to the mic, ignoring audible protests of lead manager Schiff. Then Nadler gives a terrible lecturing close.' " . . .
. . . "Adam Schiff stood. He was ready to go to the podium. He only had to do about three steps to get there. Jerry Nadler had to do about 12. It's the fastest I've seen Jerry Nadler move, in the 25 years that I've known him," O'Donnell remarked." . . .


NFL's Raunchy Halftime Show Featuring Jennifer Lopez's A** Should Result In Harsh Fines for Fox

This post should be rated "R" as well...

PJ Media  "Call me Karen, I really don't care, but what I just sat through during the halftime show at the 2020 Super Bowl should never happen again. I want to speak to all the supervisors who let this happen." . . .


. . . "The last time a Super Bowl halftime show was this gross it cost CBS $550,000 for broadcasting Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake's ridiculous "wardrobe malfunction" stunt. In my opinion, this is just as bad. As the video above shows, at one point Lopez bends over and exposes her entire backside to the camera. The only thing separating her anus from the camera is a pair of sheer stockings and a black thong. This is not okay. What the hell is wrong with the NFL? I thought they were going to go more "family-friendly" after the Jackson-Timberlake fiasco? Also, the cameramen were focused on JLo's crotch for most of the performance. I can't in good conscience show more here than that clip above. If you want to see it go find it. But it's indecent and totally inappropriate for the Super Bowl halftime show." . . .

Was the Super Bowl show better or worse than you expected?

Well, it wasn't the blatant anti-police affair of a few years ago at least.

They had the kids in cages bit. Never mind that Obama did the kids in cages; repeat a lie often enough and it becomes accepted truth.

Franklin Graham: ‘Pepsi Showing Young Girls that Sexual Exploitation of Women Is Okay’  . . . “ 'I don’t expect the world to act like the church, but our country has had a sense of moral decency on prime time television in order to protect children,” Graham said, lambasting the show for sending the message “that sexual exploitation of women is okay.' ” . . .

The Super Bowl LIV Halftime show was polished, highly produced – and vulgar  . . . "This year, Super Bowl LIV took place in Miami. It was, therefore, appropriate for the halftime show to have a Latin beat, with Shakira and J. Lo as the headliners. Still, some people asked, “Did the show have to be so vulgar?”


"On the pro side, Shakira and J-Lo are both superb entertainers, the songs they used were fun and energetic, the Latin beat rocked, the backup performers were excellent, All in all, the show was a polished 14 minutes of top-flight Latin-infused pop music and dancing.
"Any people who attended a stadium show just to see these two performers, both of whom sing and dance extremely well, would have felt they got their money’s worth. Bravo!
"But on the con side, the show was vulgar, and that’s not just because, in keeping with all Latin dancing going back to the early 20th century, there was a lot of hip shaking. Few people are going to get bent out of shape by that traditional Latin American dance dynamic.
"While shaking hips are now old hat, there were still a lot of vulgar moves and costumes in the halftime show:. . . "
"And if you’re still yearning for proof that the halftime shows are no longer family-friendly, contrast what you just saw with these shows from 1985 and 2000:. . . "

On the other hand, this seems a contrary opinion while pointing out issues the previous column found to be bad taste:
". . . Those two women and all the dancers who accompanied them on stage were amazing. They have all spent their lives developing their dance skills.  It would be interesting to know if any dancers refused to participate in such a display of the sexual objectification of women.  Probably not one.  They have all worked hard at their skill and talent, they want to work, and they put on a terrific show.  This show was a poke in the eye of every radical feminist, every proponent of the scourge of "white privilege," and every gender theorist who says there are more than two genders.  We can all embrace our friends and family members who are gay without disavowing the glory and joy of heterosexuality that propagates the survival of our species.  Hats off to Jennifer Lopez and Shakira.  They did what they do best without capitulating to the gender politics of the day."  Watch the show here.

Here’s the
#PepsiHalftime
show that the NFL thought was great for all ages! It featured stripper poles, butt shots with kids standing behind them, adults grinding & gyrating, rope to tie yourself with and plenty of crotch shots! What a wholesome show for little kids to watch

The Extremely Sexual (And Political) Halftime Show...That Jeb! Loved  . . . Between J-Lo and Shakira, there was crotch rubbing, pole dancing, and double butt shaking—not to mention in outfits that can hardly be called clothing." . . .
