Welcome to NostrilVision; Has Adam Schiff never heard of the selfie stick?

 Diann Russell 

 Can someone explain to me why Adam Schiff insists on filming videos of himself in extreme close-up? Are his arms only eight inches long?

Has he never heard of the selfie stick?

. . . "It startles me whenever his videos appear on my Twitter feed. Sixty percent of the image that accompanies the "PLAY" button is occupied by Adam's jowls. Good heavens. Has he been collecting nuts for winter?

"And I don't know about you, but I'm not particularly interested in being close enough to count Adam Schiff's nose hairs.

"Who thought this was a good idea?" . . .

It didn't take long before every showboating theater kid in Congress was copying AOC, no doubt on the advice of a gormless political consultant.

"But here's the thing. Adam Schiff is not Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. For one thing, he's about as "photogenic" as a lumpy potato. Nobody, even those with a strong stomach, wants to watch a 2-minute video of Adam Schiff's nostrils.

"If Adam insists on filming himself, can't he enlist an aide to hold the damn iPhone?

"Why isn't he content with being a guest on cable news and the Sunday network news shows? He is one of the most over-exposed politicians in Washington, and has been since 2017." . . .

Kash Patel's Bold Move Cracked the Case of Charlie Kirk's Assassin

 PJ Media  

"Kash Patel just showed the country what real leadership in law enforcement looks like. Earlier this year, Democrats tried desperately to thwart his confirmation, but Patel didn’t just survive their political attacks—he proved that he was the leader the FBI desperately need." . . .

"The conservative movement lost one of its brightest voices with the assassination of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, but FBI Director Kash Patel's swift and decisive response delivered justice in a remarkable 33 hours that should serve as a blueprint for law enforcement nationwide.

Unlike the bureaucratic foot-dragging we've grown accustomed to from federal agencies, Patel personally flew to Utah and took command of the investigation with the kind of hands-on leadership that actually gets results. While career FBI officials likely cringed at his unconventional approach, Patel understood something his predecessors never grasped: When American patriots are under attack, you move heaven and earth to catch the killers.

"I am very proud of the FBI," Trump told Fox News Digital. "Kash—and everyone else—they have done a great job."

The timeline tells the story. On Sept. 10, surveillance cameras captured 22-year-old Tyler Robinson casing the Utah Valley University campus that morning before returning with deadly intent. He positioned himself on a rooftop with a high-powered bolt-action rifle and waited for Kirk to take the stage. After firing the fatal shot, Robinson fled into nearby woods, likely believing he had pulled off the perfect political assassination.

He was wrong.

Patel immediately marshaled the full resources of the federal government, shipping DNA evidence, fingerprints, and the recovered murder weapon to FBI Quantico and partner labs for overnight analysis.

A Cliff Note Guide to Russiagate: The Hillary Coverup

 The American Spectator  

"Behold the inner workings of the Deep State! See how the spooks create the big lie, the politicos amplify it, and the hacks spread it around."

"When I first read that Donald Trump was a Russian asset back in 2016, I had two thoughts: 1. This is the most serious security breach in American history, or 2. This is the biggest hoax in American history.

"Given the gravity of the charge, there was no middle ground: either Trump should be shot for treason, or somebody just told the mother of all whoppers.

"The country has gyrated between these two poles for the past nine years, with Democrats flogging the first and Republicans scrambling to prove the second.\

"The Democrats used the allegation to launch the Mueller investigation, which crippled the first Trump administration. The investigation, which found no conspiracy between Trump and Russia, nevertheless begot an impeachment of Trump and likely cost the Republicans the House in 2018. All big wins for the Democrats. Republicans struggled against a shadowy intelligence community to prove a negative.

"But the stakes here go well beyond partisan politics and are nothing less than epochal. If Trump was working for Russia, the country was compromised by a foreign despot for years. If the Democrats made the whole thing up, the country was fooled by a cabal that nearly overthrew a sitting president — an attempted coup based on a nothing burger. High stakes indeed.

"New documents vindicate Trump and confirm the origins of the Russia Hoax, including the role of the intelligence community, the media, and Barack Obama himself.

"Here’s what happened.

"June 2016. During her time as Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton uses an unsecure private e-mail server to conduct official business, a practice that becomes an issue during the 2016 campaign.

"July 2016. Clinton and associates create and finances the Steele dossier, a false story about, most salaciously, Trump frolicking with hookers in a Moscow hotel room. Supposedly, the room was bugged by Russian spies, which gave Putin leverage over Trump.

"August 2016. John Brennan, head of the CIA, briefs President Obama on Clinton’s plan to tie candidate Trump to Russia as “a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server.” Newly Declassified Appendix to Durham Report Sheds Additional Light on Clinton Campaign Plan to Falsely Tie Trump to Russia and FBI’s Failure to Investigate

"October 2016. The New York Times reviews the Steele dossier, decides the story lacks credibility and refuses to publish it. The press versus the president, part one — Columbia Journalism Review

"October 2016. FBI offers Christopher Steele, the author of the dossier, $1 million if he can corroborate any of the claims in his dossier.

As 1 Million+ FLOOD London to Mourn Charlie Kirk

StateOfDaniel "The streets of London overflowed as more than one million people gathered to mourn Charlie Kirk, creating one of the largest political vigils in decades. From the haka in New Zealand to prayer vigils across Spain, this global movement shows how deeply Kirk’s message of free speech, Christianity, and liberty resonated far beyond America. While mainstream media dismisses the crowds as “far right,” the footage tells another story: diverse voices uniting against censorship, political violence, and attacks on faith. With vigils spreading from Europe to South Korea, this moment has become a worldwide flashpoint in the battle over free speech, religion, and political freedom."

Before Democrats accuse the conservatives of murderous feelings, know this: the Haka is a tribute to fallen comrades as well as a pep rally before sports. TD

2nd 1st Farewell Their Fallen Comrades With A Huge Haka   "Haka --sometimes termed a posture dance could also be described as a chant with actions. There are various forms of haka; some with weapons some without, some have set actions others may be 'free style.' Haka is used by Māori (indigenous people of New Zealand) for a myriad of reasons; to challenge or express defiance or contempt, to demonstrate approval or appreciation, to encourage or to discourage, to acknowledge feats and achievements, to welcome, to farewell, as an expression of pride, happiness or sorrow. There is almost no inappropriate occasion for haka; it is an outward display of inner thoughts and emotions. Within the context of an occasion it is abundantly clear which emotion is being expressed."

STEPHEN MILLER: This is not fringe anymore…There is a domestic terrorist movement

They are trying to get people killed"...

Video  "STEPHEN MILLER: “This is not fringe anymore. Tape, after tape. Federal workers, bureaucrats, educators, professors, nurses… people celebrating and cheering the assassination of Charlie Kirk! There is a domestic terrorist movement growing in this country”

Here’s why Stephen Miller is exactly what Trump’s White House needs right now . . . "But now, it’s Miller time.

"That’s Miller as in Stephen Miller, senior adviser to President Donald Trump, who now seems like a lone survivor of sorts after the firings of everyone from former White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus to former senior counselor Steve Bannon.

"And despite Miller’s youth, (he’s only 32), combative political nature and history, his ascendancy could mean the end of the most serious problem for the Trump team: Policy inconsistency that borders on incoherence.

"Miller has the advantage of pushing a consistent series of policy messages at least since he was a college student at Duke University. His most consistent cause, one that led him to a prominent position in Jeff Sessions’ Senate office, is illegal immigration and border security. When then-candidate Trump made illegal immigration the kickoff issue for his campaign in 2015, Miller understandably launched himself into Trump’s orbit. And when the Trump administration seemed to be wavering on illegal immigration toughness, Miller is credited with getting the team back to its roots on the issue. That shift back to the original course is more evident this week, as President Trump has started to mention border security and the wall in tweets that sound like something right out of Miller’s old playbook:" . ...  More...

Charlie Kirk, Iryna Zarutska, and the Death of Society

American Greatness

No strength, skill, or faith could have saved Charlie Kirk or Iryna Zarutska—when morality and law collapse, society itself teeters on the edge of chaos. 

. . . "Thus has it always been for man, dating back at least to the time of the man, the woman, the snake, and the apple. Indeed, that man and that woman had two sons, one of whom brutally murdered the other out of petty jealousy. This is man’s nature as a fallen creature. It is who he is—who we are." . . .

. . . "Critics note that Iryna Zarutska’s killer had been arrested and released 14 times. This is because of the efforts made by advocates of social justice and affiliated theories over the last half-century-plus. And her murder is the result.

"Long story short: over the course of the last three centuries, Western man has been slowly but surely undoing the very features that enabled societies to exist and civilizations to grow and thrive. Neither Charlie Kirk’s assassin nor his online fans and political supporters are subject to the behavior-leavening power of morality and conscience. Neither Iryna Zariutska’s murder nor his defenders are subject to the limits of the law.

"No matter how strong and prepared a man is, he cannot survive in close quarters with hundreds, thousands, or millions of others without rules. And the rules have been purposefully and continually undermined. Society is dying. Unless it is consciously rebuilt, chaos will reign. And Charlie and Iryna will hardly be the last."

We see it on “The View.” We see it on MSNBC. Even just seconds after Charlie died, we had Matthew Dowd go on and basically said that he got what he deserved because he was an extremist, etc., and he and you “live by the sword, die by the sword” sort of argument he used." . . .

Who would be willing to place America in the hands of Democrat corruption?

. . . "It was Joe Biden, not Donald Trump, who was “corrupting the government…. using it to hound his enemies, to line his pockets and to entrench his own power.”

"It was Joe Biden, not Donald Trump, who was “corrupting it the way the Mafia would corrupt the industries it controlled. You could still, under Mafia rule, get the trash picked up or buy construction materials. But the point of those industries had become the preservation and expansion of the Mafia’s power and wealth…”

"In short, Klein has it exactly backwards.

"Why? Who knows.

"But one can sense the aroma of Trump Derangement Syndrome rising here.

"Note. Donald Trump became a billionaire working entirely in the private sector, never having served a day in public office. Mysteriously — or not so mysteriously — Joe Biden and family became millionaires by using his public office to make those millions.

"Which is to say, the record speaks for itself.

Are Democrats channeling Charlie Manson?  

. . . "The question is whether the Democrat (they’re not democratic) party’s rhetoric and policies, by emphasizing divisive issues, contribute to societal tensions in a way that echoes Manson’s aim to provoke conflict, while carefully acknowledging key distinctions." . . .

. . . "To move forward, we must ask what kind of society we want.  Policies that bridge divides, prioritize public safety, and promote honest dialogue reduce tensions and prevent the kind of chaos Manson sought.  Although the Democrat party’s actions differ significantly from Manson’s criminal orchestrations, the unintended consequences of their rhetoric and policies warrant scrutiny to ensure that they do not contribute to a cycle of division, unrest, and violence."

Israel's Netanyahu: 'No Palestinian State, This Place Is Ours'

NewsMax  

"The historic right of Jews to live anywhere in the Land of Israel — the birthplace of the Jewish people — is indisputable." . . .

"We said there will be no Palestinian state — indeed there will be no Palestinian state. This place is ours," declared Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to rousing applause at the festive signing of an "umbrella agreement" between the government and Ma'ale Adumim at the Judean city's Cultural Center on Thursday evening.

The umbrella agreement commits the government to finance the construction of two new neighborhoods and the expansion of a third in a city that hasn't seen a new neighborhood built in 20 years.

In repudiating a Palestinian state, Netanyahu referred to the most strategically important part of the agreement—the building of a new neighborhood in E1 ("East 1")—an area, once built, both Israel and the Palestinians agree threatens Arab geographic contiguity, making it far more difficult to establish a viable Palestinian state.

Various obstacles, chief among them international pressure, have left E1, a 12-square-kilometer (4.6 sq. mile) area in Judea, virtually untouched for decades, despite support for construction by every Israeli government starting from Yitzhak Rabin's in 1994, which first proposed the idea.

It is little wonder then that Ma'ale Adumim, which this year celebrates the 50th anniversary of its founding, turned the signing of the umbrella agreement into a celebratory event with music and dancing.

Victor Davis Hanson: ‘Anti-Fascist’ Violence Claimed Charlie Kirk.

The Daily Signal  

"The Left are almost always the opposite of what they claim…..Antifa are the fascists. They always use violence and intimidation to silence political opponents (which ironically is the exact same thing Hitlers Brownshirts did) and now, use murder to silence opponents. They call themselves tolerant but are the most intolerant of opposing views, they say they are loving but absolutely hate anyone they disagree with or who threatens their power."

"Charlie Kirk shaped modern conservatism and reached youth in ways no one else could—and that’s precisely what made him so dangerous to the Left.

"The trailblazing 31-year-old activist and commentator who founded Turning Point USA was regularly smeared as a “fascist,” a “Nazi,” and a “threat to democracy” by the Left. It was only a matter of time until a crazed person put those words into action. On today’s episode of “ 'Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson pays tribute to Kirk and explains how his death is more than just a personal loss; it signals a dangerous new era where political violence is becoming normalized.

“  'He connected with people. He had a podcast. He was an extemporaneous speaker. He could ad lib. He wrote columns. He was fearless. He was—he registered voters. He might have been more responsible for winning key states than any other political activists in the 2024 election. I don't think anybody in our generation—I'm speaking my generation—could have done what he did.

" ' We are legitimizing political violence. If you call someone day after day after day, "white, white, white, white"; "racist, racist, racist"; "fascist, fascist, fascist"; "Nazi, Nazi, Nazi"—we hear that from Joy Reid. We see it on "The View." We see it on MSNBC.

Victor Davis Hanson CRIES... "Charlie Kirk’s Death Changes Everything"

Heartless Democrat Ilhan Omar Says Those Remembering Charlie Kirk for the Good Are “Full of ----”

 Nicole Silverio, Daily Caller News Foundation

"Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar said with a straight face on Thursday that it is “f-ed up” for people to remember the late Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk for his good deeds.

"Just one day following his death, Omar accused Kirk on “Zeteo” of being insensitive to school shootings, the death of George Floyd and slavery. She denied the notion that Kirk helped bring civil political discussion on college campuses by openly debating those he disagreed with.

“ 'Charlie was someone who once said guns save lives after a school shooting,” Omar told host Mehdi Hasan. “Charlie was someone who was willing to debate and downplay the death of George Floyd in the hands of Minneapolis Police. Downplayed slavery and what black people have gone through in this country by saying Juneteenth should never exist. And I think there are a lot of people out there talking about him just wanting to have a civil debate. There is nothing more f-ed up than to completely pretend that his words and actions have not been recorded and in existence for the last decade or so.”

“ 'These people are full of shit and it’s important for us to call them out,” Omar continued.

"The far-left congresswoman, who once declared her allegiance to Somalia over the U.S., baselessly alleged that Kirk said empathy should not exist." . . .

Tyler Robinson had become ‘more political’ in years before allegedly shooting Charlie Kirk dead, investigators say | The Independent

. . . "In 2021, Robinson reportedly received a “presidential scholarship” to Utah State University school and celebrated his future years before his arrest."

"A video posted to Facebook in March 2021 shows him reading a letter informing him of the $32,000 scholarship. According to the Mail, Robinson was enrolled as a student at Utah State University for one semester in 2021.

"Robinson is facing charges of aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury and obstruction of justice, according to the probable cause affidavit.

"Authorities stated at a press conference Thursday night that the suspect would face the death penalty if convicted.

"During a press conference Friday morning, Utah governor Spencer Cox said a family member told investigators that Tyler had become “more political” in recent years.

" 'The family member referenced an incident in which Robinson came to dinner prior to September 10, and in the conversation with another family member Robinson mentioned that Charlie Kirk was coming to UVU. They talked about why they didn’t like him and the viewpoints that he had. The family member also said that Kirk was ‘full of hate and spreading hate.'”

"It wasn’t immediately clear which family member said Kirk was “full of hate,” the one being interviewed, or the one who was speaking with Tyler.

"Cox said investigators interviewed Robinson’s roommate, who showed them messages the suspect had posted on Discord about his rifle, including a comment saying that he “needed to retrieve a rifle from a drop point.” . . . More...
