Lara Logan goes off in epic rant on Ukraine, citing ‘fake NGOs,’ Vindman, Hunter Biden, Romney’s son

 Lara Logan goes off in epic rant on Ukraine, citing 'fake NGOs,' Vindman, Hunter Biden, Romney's son (bizpacreview.com)   

. . ."Logan continued to point out Ukraine’s history while taking a smack at retired Colonel Alexander Vindman, whom she called “moron” and said he was “obviously a spy.” She mocked his staged history endlessly and thoroughly. Then she astutely asked, “Where is counterintelligence?” and said “There’s a reason that man was escorted from the White House at the end of that theatrical trial,” referring to the impeachment of former President Donald Trump.

"She called George Soros’ Open Foundation Societies and “all these other fake NGOs that are nothing more than brown shirts and SS rolled into one” and who “were running their radical policy through the United States embassy, through USAID, using our tax dollars to slit our own throats.”

“Now they’re covering their tracks in Ukraine, not just hiding all the evidence of John Kerry’s son, Biden’s son, Nancy Pelosi’s son, Mitt Romney’s son… by the way, who is disgusting as the rest of them,” she raged.

"Logan spoke of the bio labs there, some of which were leftover from the Russians. She pointed out that the whole truth of that has not been aired either.". . .


Are there ANY honorable Democrats in Congress?

SCOTUS Confirmation Circus Highlights Dems' Short Memories – PJ Media     . . ."The Dems are, of course, hoping for a big kumbaya moment despite their shameful behavior, especially during the last two confirmation hearings. Many on the right are clearly in the mood for some righteous anger and retaliation from the GOP. I shared my thoughts about that in another VIP column yesterday.

"Matt had a wonderful post yesterday about Ted Cruz’s opening remarks, where he delineated the bottom-feeding behavior of the Democrats in these hearings going all the way back to the ultimately unsuccessful hearings to confirm Robert Bork in 1987. Cruz went into such excruciating detail to make it clear that it’s only the Democrats who behave this way:. . ."

“It is only one side of the aisle that, with Justice Clarence Thomas, was so reprehensible that […] President George Herbert Walker Bush wrote at the time, quote, ‘what’s happening to Clarence Thomas is just plain horrible,’” Cruz continued.  “’All the groups that tried to beat him up on abortion, affirmative action have now come out of the woodwork, they’re trying to destroy a decent man.’ As Justice Thomas observed in that hearing, what happened there was, to use his words, ‘a high-tech lynching.’ And I would note the chairman who presided over that disgrace was Joe Biden.”

Cruz wasn’t finished. He brought up the Kavanaugh hearings next, calling them “one of the lowest moments in the history of this committee, where Democrats on this committee sat on allegations — didn’t refer them to the FBI, didn’t ask for investigations — hid them and then leaked them against the wishes of the complainant. And we began a circus that featured Spartacus moments, featured such nuts as Michael Avenatti.”

China having a grand old time mocking Joe Biden's 'peace' efforts in Ukraine

 American Thinker  "t's bad all over for the man who's "been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades." as former CIA director Bob Gates famously put it in his memoirs.

"The United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia wouldn't take his phone calls. The European states are stepping forward as the chief problem solvers to the Ukraine dilemma. Venezuela apparently laughed in his face when he asked them to pump more oil. El Salvador's president tweeted about America as a nation in decline, rotting from within.". . .

Our respect internationally as brought to America by the party that gave us Biden, Harris, the Democrat-Adam Schiff- led House Judiciary Committee, Maxine Waters, Eric Swalwell and his Chinese spy girl friend, any Democrat who wears white at States of the Union addresses including their hollow-eyed millionaire leader  and, and, well you know them all. You see them on CNN and MSNBC. TD

‘Holy Smokes, You’re So Woke, Batman!’


 The American Spectator

How the Caped Crusader’s latest crimefighting caper is derailed by Critical Race.

"Matt Reeves’ The Batman (2022) is a beautiful disaster. Gotham is a rain-lashed living contradiction, with Times Square-sized LED billboards built into 19th century Gothic gargoyle-studded skyscrapers. The fight choreography features moves as brutal as Ben Affleck’s, or the Arkham videogame series. But beneath the superficial veneer of neo-noir lighting and the war drums of the score, is a rotten plot infested with progressive talking points. From the declining sales of DC’s comics, to the overt and covert racial politics of this newest Hollywood adaptation, the Dark Knight Detective is being damaged by the ideological obsessions of unimaginative writers.

"As a Batman aficionado, I am infuriated by the legacy media clapping like seals for The Batman’s “more diverse cast,” without buying the comics which keep the character’s legacy alive. But ZoĆ« Kravitz’s casting as a black, bisexual, polyamorous Catwoman is as fraught with issues for progressives as it is for those who care about continuity.

"It is contemptible that the tale of tragedy turned heroism that Batman has been for over 80 years has fallen prey to the critical race theory narratives of contemporary politics.

"A great example of how the left eats its own is progressives’ complaints that Claudia Rankine’s police brutality poem Citizen focuses on black Americans and so racially excludes Latinos. The same logic goes for Kravitz’s Catwoman, whose casting erases the character’s Cuban heritage via Catwoman’s mother Maria. After she fled Castro’s communism, Maria Kyle’s refugee status was one of the reasons why Catwoman grew up impoverished and developed a talent for theft. A line by her illegitimate father alludes to this in the film: with Falcone inverting the comics’ criticism of socialist dictatorships by having the profit-driven villain joke “That’s why communism didn’t work: austerity.” In ascending the progressive stack of oppressed identities to make Catwoman black, Reeves and the rest of the film’s crew have erased a part of Catwoman’s canonical non-white heritage which was instrumental to her character.". . .

SJW calls female swimmer TRANSPHOBIC for not wanting to change in front of Lia Thomas in the locker room

America's social decline into silliness brings us ridicule by adversaries around the world who are deadly serious

Replying to @libsoftiktok  "Womans world cup in swimming 2026"


 OMG, make it STOP! SJW calls female swimmer TRANSPHOBIC for not wanting to change in front of Lia Thomas in the locker room (watch) – twitchy.com

"Is transphobic the new racist? Asking for a friend. Or is it the new ‘insurrectionist’? We can’t keep all of these insulting terms and ‘ists’ and ‘obics’ straight when it comes to whatever the current outrage of the day is. And women being made out to be the bad guys for not wanting to change in front of a biological male … that’s just stupid.

"Why are so many people comfortable making women do things they are uncomfortable with to make a biological male who thinks he’s a woman more comfortable? How is this fair on any level to female athletes?". . .

In a related note, this parody by the Babylon Bee got them suspended:


NCAA Transgender Woes Trace Back to Biden Executive Order (breitbart.com)  

The order went on to direct the heads of federal agencies to ensure that their rules recognized “gender identity” as an inviolable right — even though the order ends by laying cover for Biden and saying the order does not “create any right or benefit.”

Liz Cheney Has Single-Handedly Destroyed Dick Cheney’s Reputation In Wyoming

 Liz Cheney Has Destroyed Dick Cheney's Reputation In Wyoming (thefederalist.com)

Liz Cheney is now courting the same voters who toppled a statue of her vice president father 15 years ago.

..."The crusade to allow Democrats to hijack the statewide Republican primary in favor of a Cheney signals a sharp turn in the family’s reputation from when Liz Cheney’s vice president father represented Wyoming’s conservative voters in the House for 10 years. After enjoying decades of political popularity in the state and cultivating a family legacy, the Cheney dynasty appears poised to end as the incumbent at-large congresswoman turns to Wyoming’s liberal voters in the northwest to send her back to Washington for a fourth term.

"According to a snapshot of the latest polling in the pivotal primary revealed by Axios’s Jonathan Swan, less than 2 in 5 GOP Wyoming voters reported a favorable opinion of former Vice President Dick Cheney. Nearly half, 48 percent, viewed Dick Cheney unfavorably.". . .

Tarot Card Diplomacy

 Tarot Card Diplomacy - The American Conservative

Where foreign relations make no sense and the rules of cause and effect do not apply


"Russian President Vladimir Putin has invaded Ukraine, and suddenly whatever was received wisdom last week is cancelled, and we are playing with a whole new set of rules. The endless shuffling of hypocrisies and non sequiturs in the West, the nonsensical sloganeering that changes from one moment to the next, is best compared to drawing at random from a deck of tarot cards. Each frame of the geopolitical saga as it unfolds on cable news is completely unrelated to anything that came before or will come next.

"Tarot card after tarot card, pundits and mic’d-up professors on the TV augur the meanings of the current crop of images and sound bites. Deeper and deeper we are all led into tarot card diplomacy, where foreign relations make no sense and the rules of cause and effect do not apply. The only ones who can interpret the tarot cards are the ones who pull them out and arrange them on the table. What do the goings-on in the world mean? No one really knows. Only the cards can help us divine the import of all the wild stuff that happens in each news cycle. Tarot card diplomacy—the weird geopolitical science practiced by the woke West.

"This week I watched people wearing shoes and clothes made by Uyghur slaves taking videos on slave-made phones of themselves dumping Russian vodka into storm sewers across America. They then struck a further blow for freedom by posting their videos onto the most censored platform since Pravda. They uploaded their staged rage to websites using software made by companies for whom “free speech” and “hate speech” are synonyms. All of this was coordinated by search engine companies that make special programs to help Chinese thought police to control 1.4 billion people.

Leftist comedy: ‘Punching down’ to mock the misery of Biden’s inflation

Colbert’s personal net worth has been estimated at $75 million and his annual salary is $15 million.

American Thinker   "Comedian George Carlin famously said, “it's the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately.” 

"It appears that Stephen Colbert misunderstood that quote when he said the following on his late-night show.

“Today, the average gas price in America hit an all-time record high of over $4 per gallon. Okay, that stings, but a clear conscience is worth a buck or two. I’m willing to pay. I’m willing to pay $4 a gallon. Hell, I’ll pay $15 a gallon because I drive a Tesla.”

"The line that Carlin was referring to is limits set by the self-appointed establishment. Carlin was urging comedians to fearlessly speak their minds and take on the powerful.

"Colbert with his snobbery did cross a line, but only that of decency and propriety.

"There is also an unwritten rule of comedy that is you punch up. You take on those who are powerful and affluent of the establishment. You indulge in self-deprecating humor.

"Colbert’s words offer an insight into liberal echo chambers, which judging by his comedy, Colbert’s team most certainly lives in.  Every word on Colbert's show is meticulously vetted at various stages. Colbert isn't an amateur comedian riffing at an underground comedy club.  Colbert has around 20 writers who write ‘jokes’ for him. Upon approval, all ‘jokes’ are passed through a series of checks. The validators include myriad executives, executive producers, creative producers, writers, directors, and Colbert himself.". . .
