Moment John Durham calls out Adam Schiff for criticizing getting 'dirt' from foreign agents |

DURHAM: “Well, let me — let me give you some real life views on that. I have had any number of FBI agents who I’ve worked with over the years, some of whom are retired, some are still in place, who have come to me and apologize for the manner in which that investigation was undertaken. I take that seriously. These are good, hard working majority of people in the FBI.”  Legal Insurrection

Daily Mail Online  . . ."Schiff, the former top Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, was one of Trump's most outspoken critics and spent years trying to prove collusions between him and Russia. On Wednesday House Republicans will hold a vote to censure Schiff for 'lying' about having evidence of a Trump-Russia plot.

"In 2018 DailyMail.com revealed that Schiff had been spoofed by Russian comedians posing as Ukrainian officials offering him 'compromising' dirt on Trump - including nude photos. 

"On an audio recording of the prank call posted online, Adam Schiff can be heard discussing the committee's Russia investigation and increasingly bizarre allegations about Trump with a man who claimed to be Andriy Parubiy, the chairman of the Ukrainian Parliament.

"The call had actually come from two Russian comedians nicknamed 'Vovan' and 'Lexus' who have become notorious for their phony calls to high-ranking American officials and celebrities, including UN Ambassador Nikki Haley and Elton John. 

"Schiff's office said the congressman suspected the call was 'bogus' from the beginning and reported it to authorities afterward.

"But in a recording of the eight-minute conversation, Schiff appeared to take the call seriously – or at least played along convincingly - and emails from the Democrat's staff to the fake politician afterwards said he had found it 'productive'.

"Schiff asked Durham if he was trying to 'diminish' the significance of the meeting between Trump campaign affiliates and Russian operatives." . . .

 Finally, a touch of comeuppance for Trump-hunter Adam Schiff - American Thinker   ..." A simple Google search reveals that Rep. Schiff made it a habit to claim to have evidence of Trump-Russia collusion — without supporting his assertions.  Here are two links to Schiff's many lies falsely alleging Trump-Russia collusion. 

"Here, now, is the third of eleven preambular paragraphs of H. Res 521, the resolution censuring the congressman from California's 30th Congressional District: 

Whereas, for years, Representative Schiff abused this trust by alleging he had evidence of collusion that, as is clear from reports by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz, and Special Counsel Durham, never existed ...

"Note the language of this paragraph: "the evidence of collusion [between Trump and Russia] never existed."

. . .“Adam Schiff lied to the American people. He used his position on House Intelligence to push a lie that cost American taxpayers millions of dollars and abused the trust placed in him as Chairman. He is a dishonor to the House of Representatives,” Paulina Luna said in a statement.

“ 'The Durham Report makes clear that the Russian Collusion was a lie from day one and Schiff knowingly used his position in an attempt to divide our country,” she added. "

Truth-Challenged Adam Schiff Perversely Gloats Over Censure Humiliation, 'You Honor Me With Your Enmity' – RedState   . . ."Question: can you name a single thing, Schiff, that you have done that has done anything to “protect democracy?” Because it would seem that your only contribution to society was to help set off a wild goose chase to find incriminating evidence against former President Donald Trump—leading to a pathetic impeachment effort (led by none other than Adam Schiff), an effort that spectacularly imploded, and claims debunked by the Mueller report." . . .

. . ."I find Schiff to be one of the most odious members of Congress, and to see him take the podium and act as if he is a savior despite the fact that he failed to prove any of his many claims about Trump is frankly nauseating. Good for the GOP for censuring him.

"California is full of political opportunists, but the hubris of Adam Schiff knows no bounds."

Riley Gaines Is the Hero Sane America Needs This Pride Month –

 PJ Media   . . ."This week’s Pride Month 2023 weariness update features a bright spot in the pushback against the Rainbow Warrior rampage. To be sure, that pushback has had more traction of late, but there is a lot more to be done if we are one day going to reach a point where we’re not being forced to care. We’re not hateful bigots, we simply don’t want to be gagging on the rainbows being shoved down our throats every June.

"The LGBTQ+ mob continues to insist that biological males who one day identify as females should be allowed to compete against actual females in sports. The people who have spent decades shrieking about fairness are now the biggest proponents of there being none of that in women’s sports. In their version of fairness, young female athletes who have trained for years are just supposed to shut up and let testosterone-loaded males run roughshod over them in competition.

"The feminists over on the Left have been eerily silent on the issue.

"One young American woman who hasn’t been at all silent is former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines, who has emerged as the greatest voice of reason amid all of the noise that the leftists have created to continue their bullying.

"Gaines has endured ridicule and physical attacks from the Left but continues to speak out against the efforts of the Rainbow thugs to eradicate women from women’s sports.

"On Wednesday, Gaines was in front of the House Judiciary Committee, along with sports trans madness advocate Kelley Robinson from the laughably named Human Rights Campaign. There was one exchange involving Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), Robinson, and Gaines that showed just how good Gaines has gotten at being the very public voice of the good fight." . . .

Karine Jean-Pierre is a legend in her own mind: ‘I’m a historic figure…’

 Karine Jean-Pierre is a legend in her own mind: ‘I’m a historic figure…’ - American Thinker

Ultimately, Jean-Pierre is an inconsequential woman although, sadly, she is in a consequential position. And it’s that position that has caused Jean-Pierre to assume legendary status in her own mind:

"TheGrio is a media outlet by and for American blacks. It was inevitable that it would interview Biden’s press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre. What was less expected was that, in the most recent interview, Jean-Pierre would reveal that she is a legend in her own mind. Because her identity is entirely tied up with her race and sexuality, she views her mere presence as important. Clearly, that means she’s unfazed by the fact that it was race and sexuality, not ability, that elevated her to her current position.

"It’s true that Karine Jean-Pierre is the first black lesbian to be the press secretary for the United States. As an amusing video compilation reminds us, though, she’s singularly inept at the job:" . . .

. . ."When you think how often Jean-Pierre is incapable of answering, relies on snark not substance, or simply babbles, it’s actually impressive that so many people can labor for long periods and produce…nothing.?". . .

CNN Can't Find a Biden Scandal! What about the bitter, vehement MSNBC?

"The media’s extreme apathy underlines why Miranda Devine at the New York Post wrote: “Audacity is Joe Biden’s magic power. When the walls are closing in, he laughs in your face and dares you to come after him.” See the smirk below.

 Frontpage Mag  "The networks that have obsessed 24/7 for years about how to “close the walls in” on Donald Trump and ruin him profess some fatigue with conservatives who ask about the Biden scandals.

"On “CNN This Morning” on June 12, guest host Phil Mattingly complained about the cover of the New York Post. He said: “It will be familiar for those of us who live in Washington because we’ve been kind of living in this world throughout the course of any investigation of former President Trump since President Biden took office. It says, ‘What About the Bidens?’ — talking about Hunter Biden, talking about Joe Biden.” He asked CNN reporter Sara Murray, “Is that a fair analogue?”

The Biden smirk

"Murray said no, it’s not “apples to apples,” but it’s fair to ask where the government is headed on the Hunter Biden probe. CNN legal analyst Elie Honig, no softy on Trump, then unleashed about the lethargy at the Justice Department.

“ 'This is preposterous,” he said. “This has been pending, according to our reporting at CNN, since 2018, five years,” all about some tax questions and whether Hunter lied on a gun form. “I mean, that’s a five-week investigation. And this spans the Trump administration and the Biden administration. Someone has got to make a call on this case. I don’t know what is going on, but it’s beyond anything I’ve seen before.”

"But CNN’s daily take on the Biden scandals is “What Biden scandals?”

"I played a game and just put “Biden scandals” into a Nexis search of CNN transcripts for the last month. There was only one result, and it wasn’t really a result. It was a sound bite medley of Trump played on the Sunday show “Inside Politics with Abby Phillip.”

"First came a sentence from Nov. 2, 2020: “We’ve been hit by fake, fake investigations, fake scandals, fake impeachments.” And then from March 25: “The Biden regime’s weaponization of law enforcement against their political opponent is something straight out of Stalinist Russia.' ” . . .

How Hunter Biden’s ‘sweetheart’ plea deal eviscerates his father’s credibility |

  Just The News

News Analysis: Joe Biden’s persistent claims that his son did nothing wrong, that his laptop was Russian disinformation and he never met son’s partners have all been destroyed

"In his job interview with voters during the 2020 election, Joe Biden assured Americans that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation, he never had any dealings with his family’s business partners and that his son was innocent of any wrongdoings.

"While the first two claims were shattered long ago, the 46th president has held firm on the last. “My son has done nothing wrong,” he proclaimed just a few short weeks ago.

"The criminal information filed Tuesday in federal court charging Hunter Biden with intentionally avoiding payment of federal taxes and lying about his drug use to buy a handgun debunks Joe Biden’s last line of defense.

"Conservatives from House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on down derided the plea agreement as a “sweetheart deal” and a “traffic ticket” emblematic of a “two-tiered” justice system because it spares Hunter Biden from prison while leaving Donald Trump facing hundreds of years in prison on 71 felonies in two separate indictments.

"But the plain language of the deal threatens to boomerang on the Biden Democrat agenda for 2024 that has made one of its centerpieces harsher gun control and an IRS crackdown on tax cheats.

"Hunter Biden has agreed to “two counts of willful failure to pay federal income tax” and can have dismissed a felony charge of “possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user,” holdover Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney David Weiss wrote the court Tuesday outlining the plea deal.

"The extraordinary reversal in the Democrats’ definition of Hunter Biden truth was in full view in the statement his lawyer Christopher Clark issued Tuesday." . . .

School “There Are Only Two Genders” T-Shirt Ban Upheld By MA Federal Court

  (legalinsurrection.com)

Court comes close to adopting the “words are violence” campus mantra, finding the words on the t-shirt put other students at risk. And you can’t even mock the ban by putting “Censored” over the censored words. That is banned too.  Hopefully this absurd ruling will be overturned on appeal.

 

"I’m asked from time to time whether the radical race and gender ideologies penetrating deeply into all levels of education eventually will corrupt the legal system, harming our freedom of speech and other individual rights. Usually the question regards Critical Race Theory and its progeny, such as “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” and Ibram Kendi’s “anti-racism.”

"The short answer is yes, but not in the way you expect.

The legal system will be corrupted for the same reason free speech has suffered on campuses – various forms of the “words are violence” argument. You see, the argument goes, we are not stifling speech, we are stifling the harm you cause the listener or reader of the words. The non-legal term “hate speech” usually is the banner under which this censorship flies. Your words allegedly are the equivalent of a violent assault causing physical and emotional manifestations that themselves are not speech, and in the educational context, damage the educational opportunities of others by making them feel unsafe.

"This turns freedom of speech into a power play — who gets to decide what is “hate speech” turns into who has political and cultural power.

"The fiercest cultural battle is being fought by gender identity activists, and as a Massachusetts federal court decision that was just handed down shows, the courts—or at least that judge—are ready to sacrifice free speech in school for the comfort of the gender-identity cultural and political power." . . .

The Setup And How Antony Blinken’s Family Connections To George Soros Sent Russia To War In Ukraine - The American Report

Five things we learned from the China-US talks after President Xi calls a surprise meeting with Antony Blinken - ABC News    . . ."There was also a conspicuous lack of red carpet to welcome the first US secretary of state on Chinese soil since Trump-appointed Mike Pompeo visited Beijing in October 2018.

"In a country where optics mean everything, Mr. Xi was sending "a clear message" to his people, according to Ms Schneider.

"I think it was very obviously a carefully orchestrated affair," she said.

" 'If you look at that table, Mr Xi was all by himself at the head of the table, and the Blinken team was off to the side. That's a very clear message that he wanted to show to his people that he had the upper hand in this relationship.

" 'I think both the US and China are very interested in showing their respective domestic populations that they're not being overly conciliatory or even moderately conciliatory towards the other side."

' 'State media had criticized video showing Mr Blinken's arrival in the Chinese capital under a sky cast in a dark filter, with the international press accused of "maliciously fabricating the weather in Beijing as cloudy and hazy". . .

Pride Month? Take Pride in Your Traditional Family Values

Pride Month? Take Pride in Your Traditional Family Values - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

 In polite society, homosexuality always was personal and private — and so was and is “straight” heterosexuality. 

. . ."Pride Month,” huh? Proud of what?

"Honestly, what is the actual message when someone parades that he-she-they is “proud” to be LGBTQIA+? If we penetrate the static, he simply is declaring that he wants the world to know his coitus preferences. That’s it. He is not declaring his religion, ethnicity, or political views. He simply is declaring, “I consort physically with …”

 Dov Fischer: A Day of Pride Month 2053 in San Francisco, Mexico

"Aside from all other concerns, isn’t that, uh, terribly private? It is shameful to prattle on about even normal heterosexuality to others. TMI.

"In a normal society, people sensibly would be repulsed: “That is something to parade? My father and mother — and all other billions of fathers and mothers — do not promenade, bellowing whom they prefer in the bedroom. Who parades to tell the world he lusts for redheads? Or for certain body shapes and dimensions? Who does this? Keep your private business to yourself — we don’t want to know.”

"'That simple commonsense reaction would be true even if LGBTQIA+ behavior were not outside of nature. It is no one’s business. Do people with irritable bowel syndrome parade behind a brown flag to proclaim pride in their common situation? Or people who need to wake up several times nightly to micturate? How did this perverted and corrupted culture ever come to this?

"And what could be more perverted than for a baseball team to give a stage to “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence,” a group that devotes itself to tearing down Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular? They began in San Francisco as homosexual men dressing as nuns. They choose names based on the process of renaming women inducted into Catholic orders, but that are sexually offensive: Sister Anita Blowjob, Sister GladAss of the Joyous Reserectum, and such. The Los Angeles Dodgers baseball club is a professional athletic organization that has offered apolitical entertainment primarily to the residents of Southern California, and also to Dodgers’ fans throughout America. Baseball is an inter-generational family pastime, and the sport historically has been associated with wholesome family values. There is no place in baseball for the interjection of political partisanship or woke counter-cultural advocacy that offends mainstream religious family sensitivities. Drag queens who dress like nuns and mock the sacred sacraments of the Catholic Church have ample other platforms to promote their depraved activities and deeply offensive images."

“Congresswoman Nancy Mace says there’s damning evidence the FBI filed that you sold out the country,” a reporter told Biden at the White House on Thursday. “Do you have a response to congressional Republicans?”

“Where’s the money?” Biden cracked. “I’m joking. It’s a bunch of malarkey.”

"Kudlow asked Cruz about the charge.

" 'When do we figure out whether or not Joe Biden took a bribe?” he asked.

“Well, I’ll tell you what – one person knows for a fact whether it is true or not and his name is Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.,” the senator replied before slamming the president’s denial. “You know what Joe Biden could’ve done? He could’ve stood at the podium and said – if in fact the allegation was false – he could’ve said, ‘This allegation is false. It’s ridiculous to say that I took a bribe. And I’m instructing the FBI to release that document now, make the evidence public because I’m innocent.’ That is what Biden could do.” . . .

Bret Baier Confronts Trump Over Derogatory Remarks He’s Made About Top People He Hired In His Admin

 The Daily Wire

Comment to this post: "This is my biggest complaint with Trump. He claims to know people, but he obviously doesn’t. He trusts the wrong people, and he often throws the wrong people under the bus as well."

"Former President Donald Trump pushed back on claims that he rips on a lot of top people who he hired in his administration by saying that for every one bad example there is, there are ten good examples.

"Trump made the remarks in response to a question from Fox News anchor Bret Baier, who noted that Trump said in 2016 that he was going to “surround myself with only the best and most serious people.”

“ 'Well, I did do that,” Trump told Baier. “That’s tremendous. Look, we had the best economy we’ve ever had, the world has ever seen.”

"Baier responded:

"This time, your Vice President Mike Pence is running against you. Your ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, she’s running against you. Your former Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, said he’s not supporting you.

"You mentioned National Security Adviser John Bolton. He’s not supporting you either. "You mentioned Attorney General Bill Barr. Says you shouldn’t be president again. Calls you ‘the consummate narcissist’ and “troubled man.” You recently called Barr a “gutless pig.”

 . . .“My Democratic friends just can't accept the fact that the American people chose Donald Trump to be president — it's called democracy. My advice to them, and I say this gently: Fill out a Hurt Feelings Report and let’s move on.”

"When I was 7, America elected a fellow named John Kennedy president. He had been a senator and he was witty. His daddy was rich as he made money the way John Hancock did, by smuggling. Hancock smuggled tea. Kennedy’s dad smuggled hooch.

"In 1958, Kennedy began a speech to the Gridiron Club — a journalist organization when newspapers ruled the land — by saying, “I have just received the following wire from my generous daddy: ‘Dear Jack — Don’t buy a single vote more than necessary — I’ll be damned if I am going to pay for a landslide.’”

"Looking back as an adult, I realize he was not joking. He was bragging. But he was so charming that I secretly have wished for a Republican John Kennedy. Ronald Reagan came close. Donald Trump too. Maybe the John Kennedy we need is the senator by that very name from Louisiana. He uses humor and common sense to make his point and his points are always good ones.

Early in his days in the Senate, the Republican John Kennedy said, “This is Washington, D.C. Politics is in everybody’s blood, kind of like herpes.”

"He was a Louisiana Democrat until he decided he wanted to win election to an office bigger than state treasurer. He converted to Republican but skipped the testicle-removal ceremony. In 2016, his state sent him to the Senate. He wound up on a boring committee that overlooks banks and the like.

"At a hearing on October 9, 2017, he said something that shocked the Advocate, Louisiana’s biggest newspaper." . . .
