A Cretinous Beltway Reproduction of a Stalinist Show Trial
American Greatness http://ibloga.blogspot.com/2022/06/a-cretinous-beltway-reproduction-of.html
"As the initial hearing showed, Pelosi cannily chose her GOP pair. They provided the “bipartisan” faΓ§ade Pelosi desired, mugging for the cameras and delivering their lines in this taxpayer-funded Democratic infomercial.
Yet, what of Russiagate’s abuse of power that, unlike the singular and ceased event of January 6, 2020, continues to this day—including the wholly biased January 6 committee itself? What of Special Counsel Durham’s investigation’s revelations into the insidious leftist cabal continuing to coercively impose political justice upon the equal and sovereign citizens of our free republic?
Once again, the New York Post is spot on:
“Until the plotters are held accountable, there actually is good reason to worry about the future of democracy in America.”
This, then, is the clear and present danger to everyone’s democracy. Like Ahab chasing his white whale, their purblind animus toward Trump has led them to pledge and risk everything to destroy him.
Like every vendetta, this constitutes an oath to an individual. In the process, they have abnegated their oath to defend the United States Constitution against those who weaponize the federal government against their opponents.
In fact, they have rendered it worse than meaningless. They have rendered it rank hypocrisy by becoming part and parcel of that continuing weaponization of the federal government, in this instance against their sworn πππ‘π πππππ, Trump and his supporters.
Representatives Cheney and Kinzinger, my fellow Republicans: did you ever stop to ponder whether your useful idiocy on this committee makes you accomplices after the fact in covering up the Democrats’ attempted coup against President Trump; and of their continuing corrupt and potentially criminal use of the police and surveillance powers of the federal government against their political opponents and all dissenters to their radical diktats?
Or how, when comes the day Donald Trump is gone, π¦ππ’π dishonor will remain?"

Without Massive Reform, a Trump Victory Will Be In Vain
Christopher Roach "Trump’s enemies wrap themselves in the flag and claim to be the defenders of democracy, but even now, they are planning to undo his electoral victory if he succeeds."
"Trump needs to be singlemindedly focused on these reforms. Anything less will simply be undone when he leaves office, just as Biden rapidly unwound Trump’s successes on the border."
"It looks like Donald Trump is going to win. I always thought he would in a fair fight. But winning the election could prove to be a Pyrrhic victory if Trump does not take very specific steps to wrest control of the federal government from hostile elements in the permanent bureaucracy.
"Setting aside who really won in 2020, no one disputes that Trump did win in 2016, but after that victory, he was still not allowed to govern. Instead, he was harried by the coordinated activities of entrenched interests. His naivete about the many backstabbers in the executive branch and within his own party further enhanced their ability to disrupt his first term.
"Outright lies from the intelligence community gave birth to the “Russian Collusion” accusation, which permitted the Obama administration to spy directly on Trump’s campaign through secret warrants on key campaign personnel. This lie also gave birth to a distracting and invasive special counsel investigation, which concluded early on that no such collusion took place but dragged on for two years out of spite.
"The fifth column extended beyond the intelligence community to ordinary bureaucrats, high-level military officers, and his own cabinet. Though duty-bound to follow his directives, these executive branch officials took it upon themselves to act as “checks and balances” on the president. They collectively forgot that the executive branch finds its sole source of authority in the elected president, from whom lower officials receive whatever authority they hold by delegation.
"By the end, the people who were supposed to follow his orders were openly conspiring against him. They vaingloriously called themselves the #resistance, but they had more in common with the late Soviet Union’s KGB than anything else. That is, rather than being champions of democracy, these members of the anti-Trump resistance were simply defenders of the status quo and their various perks and privileges within it." . . .

On Only Sunday Show to Cover Murder Plot Against Kavanaugh, Sen. Coons Fails Hard on 'Fox News Sunday'
It turns out it's possible to cover both of those topics, as "Fox News Sunday" did. Guest anchor Bret Baier also spoke with Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) about legislation that would better protect the justices. Coons had co-sponsored such legislation with Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) that passed by unanimous consent, but it's been held up in the House by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) who could not seem more disinterested if she tried to be, judging from her own refusal to take up the bill for a vote and her remarks during last Thursday's press conference.
"As Madeline covered on Friday, Pelosi expects the House to vote on the bill this week. The speaker tried to claim that it was an issue with getting the language from the Senate, and left it for House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) to deal with.
"It's crucial to remind, though, that Democrats in the House also want to protect the leaker who released the draft opinion to the public showing that the Court is looking to overturn Roe in the Dobbs v. Jackson decision. Since the leak, there has been an uptick in vandalism and even violence against pro-life organizations, all while the White House and Democrats largely remain silent.". . .

Summit of the Americas: Joe Biden turns America into a beggar
Monica Showalter . . ."More to the point, why the hell didn't he allow the socialist dictatorships in? He would have had a golden opportunity upbraid places like Cuba for their failures, failures that have driving millions of their citizens to flee as migrants. If this were President Trump, he'd bring the leaders of these places in and then deliver a knockout blow about their socialist records, putting these hellholes on the spot, and forcing them to admit their failures, if not come up with a laughable panoply of excuses.
"Instead, Biden just ended up begging.
"According to a very good account in Politico, Biden only got Brazil to come by agreeing to not to criticize its rainforest policy -- which Joe obeyed. He must have wanted them there bad. Bolsonaro not only questioned Biden's electoral legitimacy, he also mocked his age. Biden, though, just begged, and had to throw in the sweetner of a bilateral summit, too. He begged a lot.. . .

Gateway Pundit Releases Bombshell Debut Of Exclusive Documentary: “The Truth About January 6th”…Featuring Narration by J6 Prisoner Jake Lang From Inside Solitary Confinement [VIDEO]
100%FedUP "Today, the groundbreaking documentary “The Truth About January 6th” premiered on The Gateway Pundit. The film, produced by Brick House Films, contains never-before-seen footage of January 6th and narration by Jan 6 political prisoner Jake Lang.
Lang, who worked on this film while in solitary confinement, was also a co-producer.
Brick House Films, in collaboration with Lang, sought to tell his personal story and reveal the true details of the infamous day.
“Our goal was to condense the material and make it understandable to the general public, to those that may not be aware of the deaths of Trump supporters due to the police violence towards protesters on January 6th,” said filmmaker and Executive Producer Brittany Manheim. “There are many people in America that do not even know that we have political prisoners. It is important that we reach these people. Sharing the truth for Jake, along with all of the other January 6th political prisoners, is imperative for justice.”
“Working with Jake and his father has been an incredible experience,” added Manheim. “Jake is one of the [most] persistent and motivated people I’ve ever worked with. I admire his good faith and attitude through it all.”
"President Trump’s Jan 6 attorney Peter Ticktin commented on the documentary, expressing his excitement for its release.“It is important that Americans know that there are people fighting every day to get the truth out about the election and January 6,” said Ticktin. “We have brave Americans who see the truth and are making videos like this.”. . .
Has MSNBC's ratings crisis caused it to start telling the truth?
Thomas Lifson "Something totally unexpected happened during MSNBC's coverage of the January 6 show trial: the network's pre-eminent star, Rachel Maddow, told the truth: that Trump's rally on that day had nothing to do with the Capitol breach.
"Skepticism is certainly warranted, so here is video of the startling truth-telling:. . .
Even MSNBC admits President Trump and the rally had nothing to do with the Capitol breach! pic.twitter.com/sMGyHW3KcP

. . ."Something is going on beneath the surface. Maybe it is just that Maddow is smart enough to see that the Dems are heading for crisis. Or maybe she is telling MSNBC, which still pays her an enormous sum for very little programming, that it needs to follow CNN's lead and start broadcasting a more realistic portrayal of the political scene. Or maybe she has been told by the brass that she has to lead her home team toward the center. I can assure you that her remarks have not gone unnoticed by the rest of the on-air talent at MSNBC.
"Whatever the reality is, it is a good sign that the leftist coffer dam around the truth is crumbling."
There was only one real surprise in the January 6 TV show trial
It certainly didn't surprise me to see the same video clip that had been played at President Trump's second impeachment trial. That was the one showing Trump urging demonstrators to march to the Capitol, but conveniently edited to omit his telling them to "peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard."
. . ."I wasn't surprised by the complete lack of subtlety in the way the cynical purpose behind this theatrical production was revealed. Rather than even purporting to "let the people watch and draw their own conclusions," the folks putting on this duplicitous production repeatedly uttered statements that would have raised objections in an actual trial because they assumed facts not in evidence and certainly not yet proven. Objections would have also been raised for leading witnesses.
"There was also the fact that there was no opposing counsel. Certain questions of witnesses were conspicuous because of what the interlocutors never asked. I kept waiting, futilely, for a witness to be asked, "And what manner of weapons did you observe these 'insurrectionists' carrying or employing?"
"(Despite the repeated characterization of that day's events as "deadly," only one person was unquestionably killed, and that was Ashli Babbitt, a veteran of 14 years in the Air Force, shot by a Capitol policeman. Neither her name nor her death was mentioned in the hearing.)
"I wasn't surprised at Democrats' unity in perpetuating their narrative about the events of January 6 — namely, that the evil Donald Trump orchestrated "an attempted violent overthrow of our government." Nor was I surprised that ostensible Republicans and supposed erstwhile Trump loyalists had been trotted out in an attempt to lend a non-partisan artifice to the proceedings, with Liz Cheney (whose name almost rhymes with "chicanery") at the forefront.". . .

Poll: Most Believe Biden Admin Allowing Gas Prices to Rise to Get Americans off Fossil Fuels
Biden’s America resembling Soviet era hellhole . . .For the past 40 years historians’ lists of America’s most disastrous presidents have consistently ranked John Tyler, James Buchanan , Andrew Johnson, and Jimmy Carter as four of the most incompetent. Two (Buchanan and Carter) were elected and served just one term while the other two were vice presidents who entered the Oval Office following the deaths of a president: Johnson was Lincoln’s VP and Tyler served under William Henry Harrison.
"Based on just 18 months in the Oval office, Joe Biden is racing to the top of the worst,
.jpg)
heading any historian’s list of America’s most ineffectual, unqualified, and inept presidents. Our country has never been faced with such a blundering, tone-deaf, and probably mentally unbalanced individual in the White House. Sadly, there’s not a Harry Truman or Teddy Roosevelt waiting to succeed him. The woman waiting in the wings should Biden be removed from office is even less qualified.
"Some in the mainstream media and a few social media platforms have finally begun to acknowledge that he’s a colossal disaster, a fact that was obvious during his 40 years in the Senate and as Obama’s VP. Yet they supported him despite a record of failure, an allergy to eloquence, his obvious mental confusion, lying and other character flaws that render him unfit to even operate a front yard lemonade stand. Worse, his mental acuity has only gotten worse, and his low intelligence appears to have hit rock bottom.
"We are stuck with this mess for another thirty-two months. The only consolation is that no future president or administration will ever want to emulate or continue his disastrous programs or be compared to this bungling incompetent.". . .
America: Land Of Broken Windows
. . ."Earlier this week, voters in San Francisco recalled (with a 60 percent majority) that city’s loony-left DA, Chesa Boudin, under whose reign crime, especially violent crime, has gotten out of control. It’s interesting to see how the voting went by demographic. From New York magazine:
Still, his rejection reflected visible grassroots anger at both these conditions and his policies, particularly Boudin’s unwillingness to bring heavier charges against shoplifters and other kinds of petty thieves that had come to define, in the popular imagination, 2020s San Francisco. Wealthy, older voters were eager to dump Boudin, as were middle-class non-white voters, particularly Asian Americans. Victimized by a surge in hate crimes, Asian voters felt Boudin had not responded properly to their plight. In 2021, Boudin drew sharp criticism for failing to describe the murder of Vicha Ratanapakdee, an 84-year-old Thai man, as a racially motivated crime. While denouncing the crime, Boudin said the defendant was “in some sort of a temper tantrum” and said there was no evidence to charge him with a hate crime. His office would later charge him with murder and elder abuse, but it wasn’t enough to assuage anger in the community. Like with the school-board recall, the organizing work of Asian Americans paid off. The Asian vote, in particular, is a warning for Democrats; they are not a demographic the left can take for granted or assume will easily fall into their coalition in the future. No Republican was on the ballot Tuesday, but right-leaning candidates who speak the language of law and order will be able to campaign for their support and win.
"Good. But I live in a city where the district attorney is no liberal at all, and where you don’t see the kind of open thievery that has become a staple of social media. Still, the city is more violent than it has been in a long time, with violent crime moving into areas that once were peaceful. And if you don’t see shoplifters brazenly filling sacks in stores, you still see consumer items that you used to be able to buy easily now behind locked cases. Somebody is doing the stealing.
"Meanwhile, how is life in Hungary, which our media and our foreign-policy elites have assured us is an authoritarian hellhole? Let’s see:. . ."
How GOP Legislatures Can Copy Johnny Depp and Defang the Lying Press Tomorrow With One Simple Trick
Want to strike a blow against cancel culture and the power of the media? Then don’t simply complain, do something: Make it legally risky to throw around the allegations that are a canceller’s bread and butter. Expand defamation law, and make clear that bogus accusations of being a “racist” or “white nationalist” are factual smears and defamatory per se.
Axios "Over the course of a six-week trial, Depp pulled off a stunning reversal of public opinion. Just four years ago, Depp was a villain in the public’s eyes, after Heard made sensational abuse allegations (ghostwritten by lawyers with the ACLU) in the pages of the Washington Post. But Depp conclusively showed that he, not Heard, was the victim of long-running domestic abuse. And while members of the media class shrieked in horror, the vast majority of onlookers were happy to see Depp emerge victorious, extracting about $10 million in damages from Heard.
"Captain Jack Sparrow’s big win is proof that America’s courts remain a venue where Americans can defend their reputations and win justice for themselves, without playing by the ever-changing rules of a sinister and malicious media. And Depp’s win also demonstrates the viability of defamation law, specifically, as a way to vindicate one’s reputation against media smears. Defamation laws don’t just exist for deep-pocketed celebrities. They provide a path for all American patriots to win important victories, and at this very moment patriotic legislatures can help more plaintiffs achieve them.". . .
. . .Traditionally, four types of false allegations have been considered severe enough that they constitute defamation per se:
Claiming a person was involved in criminal activity
Claiming that a person was unethical or incompetent in their professional conduct
Claiming a person has some kind of contagious or loathsome disease.
Claiming a woman is unchaste or has otherwise engaged in sexual misconduct (Yes, in an age of slut pride parades, questioning woman’s chastity is defamatory per se. Historically, this tort was only available for women, though many jurisdictions now allow it for men also)
"It’s time for this list to expand. Today, there is no false accusation thrown around more freely, and with greater harm, than the claim that a person is a “racist,” “white nationalist,” or “white supremacist.” It’s time that our courts adapted accordingly. America’s courts should adopt the standard that falsely accusing someone of being a racist, or of being a white nationalist, is per se defamation.". . .
Given profound influence of disparate impact and "civil rights" law on the foundation of the American legal system and (by extension) economy, incredible that questioning a woman's chastity is considered defamation per se, and calling someone "racist" or "white nationalist" isn't
