50 ways to protect our Joe? -

 The issue here is that a letter was signed giving credibility to Biden's message that the whole thing was disinformation.  That smells bad and every one of the 50 should be brought before the Congress to explain their signature.

 American Thinker  "Remember that letter that hit the front pages about Russia disinformation and the Hunter Biden laptop?  It was signed by 50 intelligence experts and now we are learning that it was a bit fishy.  Could it be that the whole thing was set up to find 50 to protect the presidential candidate before the second debate?  To paraphrase Paul Simon, some Democrat was out there saying something like there must be fifty of you ready to sign a letter to protect our Joe.  

"This is the story:   

Joe Biden’s presidential campaign prompted former acting CIA Director Mike Morell to “help Biden” by organizing 50 colleagues to sign a letter in October 2020 falsely claiming that damning emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop published by The Post were Russian disinformation.

In private sworn testimony, Morell told the House Judiciary Committee that Antony Blinken, now secretary of state, was the senior campaign official who reached out to him “on or before” Oct. 17, 2020, three days after The Post published an email from the laptop suggesting Hunter had introduced his Ukrainian business partner to his father, then-Vice President Biden.

Morell, identified as a potential CIA director under Biden, said he organized the letter to “help Vice President Biden… because I wanted him to win the election.”

Alvin Bragg Doubles Number of Felons Freed Without Bail -

  Moonbattery

As recently as the 1990s, Democrats understood the necessity of three strikes laws. In those days, Democrats would often side with law-abiding citizens against sociopaths. Things have changed. Hochul had better scramble to keep up.

" Meanwhile, as Soros-appointed Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg strategically attempts to secure the Republican nomination for Donald Trump with deliberately absurd criminal charges, real criminals run free:

The proportion of cases in which the Manhattan DA’s office has not asked for felony suspects to be held on bail has more than doubled since 2018, according to its own data. …

Campaigners have accused officials of ‘a depraved indifference to human life’ and pointed to a spate of recent cases in which suspects have been released without bail before going on to commit heinous crimes.

"Small price to pay for social justice, right liberals?

"The Trump case hinges on promoting an old alleged misdemeanor to multiple felonies.

Meanwhile, data shows [Bragg] is increasingly downgrading felonies to misdemeanors, contributing to fewer cases being bail eligible.

"Not even Kathy Hochul has the belly for Bragg’s level of moonbattery:

[Hochul] has previously blasted Bragg for ‘going soft’ after he released without bail a man who terrorized McDonald’s patrons with an ax.

"Just another example of civilization unraveling. '. . .

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg proposes spending $20 million taxpayer dollars on female crash test dummies

"Who are the dummies now?"

 American Thinker   "Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has proposed that the Department of Transportation include  $20 million for female crash-test dummies in its 2024 fiscal budget. That Buttigieg -- famous for his love of females though he may be -- wants to spend vast sums of taxpayer dollars on feminine crash dummies seems odd in the current cultural climate in which we salute all things non-binary.

"Nonetheless, Mayor Pete’s proposal has already garnered support from several House Democrats. For example, Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut praised Buttigieg’s plan during a recent House Appropriations Subcommittee meeting. DeLauro stated that the use of female crash dummies would be a major step forward in the fight against “gender inequity”.

"Say what? Unlike humans, who are either one sex or another, crash dummies can’t be gendered…as they are not living beings. But, in today’s world, nothing can stand in the way of insanity.

"How will manufacturers make crash dummies “female?” Will they be shorter and lighter? Have big breasts and wear lipstick? Carry a purse? Will they tell the “male” crash dummies to slow down and ask for directions? This would seem kind of stereotypical and/or misogynistic in this day and age, wouldn’t it?

"How can we even have female crash test dummies if we don’t even know what an actual woman is?". . .

"And, as one might predict, Democrats found something to like in every bit of questionable spending there was — in particular, Connecticut Rep. Rosa DeLauro, perhaps best known to casual congressional observers as “the one with the purple hair you occasionally see screaming on C-SPAN.' ”

Hakeem Jeffries Shows How Black Racism Is Baked Into The Cake

Leftist POC's and their spokes-tool Obama-mentored Joe Biden will not let it go. Let our nation rot away as long as it gets votes. TD

  American Thinker  "As one would expect, Hakeem Jeffries, the first Black minority Speaker of the House, denied his history as a racist. Like many blacks, he may believe he can’t be a racist because blacks don’t have the “power to effectuate their prejudices,” or when blacks slur whites, they aren’t slurs because they’re truisms to achieve equity. Jeffries’ position highlights why American anti-racism programs won’t be successful until they eliminate that mindset and, instead, encourage blacks to be honest about their racism.

Jeffries

Black economist Walter Williams said: “Racial discrimination and racism in our country could have earned a well-deserved death, but it has been resurrected by race hustlers and poverty pimps as I call them, such as Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton… who make a living on the grievances of blacks.” If Williams were still alive, he would have a longer list of well-known race hustlers, like Hakeem and several other senior people in Washington.

In 2013, Hakeem was asked about his overtly racist and anti-Semitic Uncle Leonard Jeffries. He said he had only a vague recollection of Leonard’s controversial positions. “There was no internet during that era.”

Last week, articles surfaced that made a mockery of his answer. Hakeem had invited his uncle to speak at Hakeem’s college, Binghamton University. Jewish students objected, noting the recent controversy surrounding Leonard’s being asked to step down as the Chairman of Black Studies at the City College of New York after a speech in which he called the president of the college the “Head Jew” of the “kabala” of Jews running the college. He also said Jews financed the slave trade.". . .

Commenting on race baiter and anti-Semite Al Sharpton, Kamala said, “Rev, I love you! And I thank you, on behalf of all of us, everyone, for all that you do and all that you are ... you are always a voice of truth ... you are part of the conscience of our country.”

"Though it is finally cooling, lingering effects are still seen with the cultural furor surrounding the beer brand Bud Light. There were a number of missteps regarding the poor decision to involve transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, and one of the aspects that have come to light is how those in charge of the brand have been engaging in corporate woke culture.

"Many have seen the video of Alissa Heinerscheid, the VP of Bud Light, laying out her intentions for the beer brand to use a lexicon of woke culture and insult her out-of-touch customer base. But she is not alone. Also involved in things was Anheuser-Busch's vice president of communications, Jennifer Morris. In a prior interview, she laid out some of the goals for the company as she envisioned things:

Anheuser-Busch is in a unique position to bring attention to DE&I issues in a way that brings consumers along on the journey to drive positive change and create a more equitable world…we can leverage our scale and resources to further conversations around DE&I and help consumers understand the difference they can make as individuals. . .

 Have a Cold Bud Light, Not a Woke One; Anheuser-Busch blundered badly by indulging ESG.  "Anheuser-Busch is losing customers over Bud Light’s partnership with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney, but the company’s problem is more fundamental. The brewer has fallen in line with other companies engaged in “stakeholder capitalism,” which prioritizes broad social issues over shareholder value."...

Named & Shamed: 51 Big Companies That Hate Conservatives

 Slay News

In recent years, corporate America has become increasingly “woke.”

It’s no secret that hundreds of large U.S. corporations have adopted woke policies.

These policies involve regularly injecting left-wing ideals into their products, services, and employment practices.

But some of these businesses have recently gone much further than merely promoting social justice causes, however.

This radical agenda had led to companies choosing to target conservative customers and employees.

Americans have been coerced or forced into abandoning their deeply held beliefs in order to receive important goods or services or even hold onto their jobs.

Although many conservatives have heard stories about corporate discrimination in recent years, they have often struggled to keep track of which businesses have been part of this movement.

Of course, large numbers of corporations have also largely stayed on the sidelines.

A new project launched by the nonprofit organization 1792 Exchange aims to shed light on this important problem.

The 1792 Exchange recently launched its Spotlight Report

The report assesses more than 1,000 companies’ “policies, practices, and other relevant criteria to determine the likelihood a company will cancel a contract or client, or boycott, divest, or deny services based on views or beliefs.”

Simon Ateba Stands Up for Values the US Press Once Held

 Simon Ateba Stands Up for Values the US Press Once Held  (independentsentinel.com)

Our media is corrupt, and so is this administration. As if that isn’t bad enough, Biden, the figurehead, our own Jefferson Davis, is running again.

"The African reporter, Simon Ateba, asks some tough questions. As a result, Karine Jean-Pierre (KJP) rarely calls on him and is rude when she does. KJP is a notorious liar who never answers a question. Mr. Ateba reflects the values Americans and the American press used to have."

"Peter, really? Is that a question? Really, Peter? That's really uncalled for Peter," scolded the first gay black Press Secretary. "You should frankly know better than that. You are being rude to the rest of the people in this room who are here to do their jobs of handing me pre-screened softballs which I then hit out of the park with the killer lines in this binder someone gave me." Babylon Bee

. . ."Mr. Ateba tweeted this today:"

“As I keep pressing for answers, she keeps protecting the President. @PressSec Karine Jean-Pierre dislikes me 99 percent of the time, and likes me 0.0001 percent of the time. The worst part is when we meet at that restaurant outside the White House.

“After a big fight in the briefing room, what do we say to each other? It’s always awkward. The next day in the briefing room, she calls on the person on my left, the one on my right, the person right in front of me and the one right behind me. Then skips me as I raise my hand.

“She makes it clear that she is calling on everyone around me except me. Then other reporters who don’t want to face the same consequences begin to tell her ‘Thanks Karine’ after she answers their questions. They become submissive, thanks for calling on me, thanks for answering my questions, thanks for doing me a favor.

"Reporters shun him."

“In the briefing room, they try to keep their distance from me, being associated with Simon means maybe not getting called on. One reporter blocked me from taking an empty seat during Biden’s speech, I just pressed forward and sat down." . . .

Louisville bank shooter reportedly massacred innocents in an effort to justify more gun control in America — and Democrats were ready to oblige him

TheBlaze "A neighbor of the shooter told the New York Post that the apparent gun-control activist's 13-page manifesto was discovered by his roommate Dallas Whelan. It is now in the possession of the Louisville Police Department.

"The Daily Mail reported that the manifesto made three key points: "He wanted to kill himself, he wanted to prove how easy it was to buy a gun in Kentucky and he wanted to highlight a mental health crisis in America."

"If accurate, then Democrats may have made use of the slaughter of Josh Barrick, Deana Eckert, Tommy Elliott, Juliana Farmer, and Jim Tutt Jr. as their killer intended.". . .

Sturgeon reportedly hoped to showcase how easy it was to buy a gun in Kentucky and wanted to highlight the mental health crisis in America. He also planned to end the slaughter by suicide — a wish that was granted when he was shot to death by police officers when he brandished his firearm. Sturgeon’s manifesto is reportedly in the hands of the Louisville Police Department.

Hunter Biden investigation infected by ‘politics’ and ‘preferential treatment’: IRS whistleblower

While the letter doesn’t say who is the target, CBS News is reporting that it is about Hunter Biden.". . .

. .."Specifically, the agent has provided evidence that at least two Biden DOJ political appointees in U.S. attorneys’ offices have declined to seek a tax indictment against Hunter Biden despite career investigators’ recommendations to do so and the blessing of career prosecutors in the DOJ tax division.

"He also alleges that Weiss told agents on the case that the Delaware U.S. Attorney asked to be named a special counsel to have more independent authority in the probe but was turned down, according to interviews.

"The agent also alleged that specific DOJ employees placed strictures on questions, witnesses and tactics investigators may be allowed to pursue that could impact President Biden, according to the interviews.
