"Andrew C. McCarthy wrote in the National Review that Durham has a "long game and a short game going on" in an apparent effort to sort out the Clinton campaign's role in the origin of the now debunked Russia-collusion narrative that engulfed Donald Trump's presidency.
"McCarthy explained that Durham might have preferred to wait to indict Sussman, but he was facing a Sept. 19 deadline for the five-year statute of limitations for a federal false-statement crime.
"The former assistant U.S. attorney pointed out that a one-count, false-statement charge can be alleged in a mere paragraph. So the fact that Durham wrote a highly detailed account "tells us far more about his investigation.' ". . .
. . . "Durham, McCarthy wrote, appears to be in the process of making a case for the following:
The Trump-Russia collusion narrative was essentially a fabrication of the Clinton campaign that was peddled to the FBI (among other government agencies) and to the media by agents of the Clinton campaign — particularly, its lawyers at Perkins Coie — who concealed the fact that they were quite intentionally working on the campaign’s behalf, and that they did not actually believe there was much, if anything, to the collusion narrative. It was serviceable as political dirt but would not amount to anything real for criminal or national-security purposes.. . .
"With every new revelation about the corrupt attempts to exonerate Hillary Clinton and frame Donald Trump emerges, the trail leads inexorably to Barack Obama’s inner circle."
• Hillary Clinton's campaign attorney Michael Sussman was indicted Thursday for lying to the FBI in 2016 about her rival Trump colluding with the Russians. It puts Hillary behind the entire Russian hoax. In his own defense, the indicted attorney heatedly denies committing suicide next week.
They want children to connect 9/11 with white supremacy. Beto O'Rourke, this is in your wheelhouse. TD
"With a new generation of American adults born after 9/11, the simple reminder to "never forget" that dark day in human history remains as urgent as ever. Yet, unknown to most Americans, a campaign is underway that seeks to dramatically alter the way that children learn about 9/11, transforming the United States from victim to villain and rejecting any Islamist links to the massacre.
"Trafficking in this new, revisionist narrative is an ideological cousin of the jihadists who executed the 9/11 attacks. Though they may differ in strategy and tactics — and indeed may swear off violence altogether — Islamists who embrace some of the same anti-Western, supremacist beliefs as al-Qaida are pressuring educators to rethink how they teach 9/11 to young American students.
"The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a self-described civil advocacy group notorious for its origins as a Hamas affiliate, spent years denying Islamic links to the 9/11 attacks, strongly implying that Israeli Jews and other Western conspirators were responsible. Twenty years later, the same radical group is providing resource guides for educators, hoping to absolve Islamists of any responsibility for the attacks, while framing Muslims as the foremost victims of the tragedy.". . .
CAIR asks teachers to emphasize to students that Muslims universally condemned 9/11. ABC News archival footage of Palestinians celebrating in the West Bank tells a different story.
..."In its "9/11 Anniversary Response Guide For Educators," CAIR's Ohio chapter implores teachers to avoid discussions on terrorism altogether. Instead, "exact words" such as "white supremacist" are preferred to describe the event."...

Daily Dose of Downey: Democrats vs. the Constitution – PJ Media"New York’s pinko mayor, Komrade Warren WilhelmBill de Blasio, has decided that New Yorkers will now need a vaccine passport to enjoy the Big Apple’s restaurants, gyms and live shows. Commie scoundrel! Good news: No vax pass is needed to get yourself a subway slashing, and Asian people don’t need one to enjoy one of those popular “unprovokedbeatings.”
"Does de Blasio have the right to do all that? Who cares! He is a Democrat, and Democrats don’t fuss over little things like the law. De Blasio had the stones to say we need to get vaccinated to avoid another lockdown. In other words, do what the government says or get punished. What if I say “no” to both? The truth is, I don’t go to NYC anyway. If I want to smell weed and urine, I’ll hang out with Hunter Biden."...

American Thinker"On Saturday, there was a rally in D.C. to bring attention to the plight of those people arrested on January 6 and still held in solitary confinement in D.C. jails. President Trump warned people in advance that the rally was a no-win situation and he was right. It was poorly attended and it seems that many of those who did appear—perhaps intending to act as provocateurs—were law enforcement agents trying to “blend in with the crowd.” Most importantly, though, this failed rally revealed that non-leftists in America are losing their First Amendment right to protest.
"During an interview on Thursday with The Federalist, Trump spelled out precisely why the planned rally was going to fail:
“On Saturday, that’s a setup,” Trump said, referring to the rally. “If people don’t show up they’ll say, ‘Oh, it’s a lack of spirit.’ And if people do show up they’ll be harassed.”
"He proved to have been right on both counts. The Daily Mail (which I usually go to first because it’s more honest than the American media), described the protest as “sparsely attended,” with perhaps 400-450 genuine protesters present. However, said the Daily Mail, the police were out in force:' ". . .

Diogenes' Middle Finger "To go along with two horrendously bad Pentagon press briefings and another at the State Department, the White House joined in Monday afternoon with another shellacking at the hands of the press corps on Afghanistan.
"For this installment, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and Press Secretary Jen Psaki took fire from all angles, ranging from Fox News to NPR. Led by Fox’s Peter Doocy and Real Clear Politics’ Philip Wegmann, Team Biden was grilled about whether Americans have been “stranded” by their own government, whether Americans outside Kabul will be rescued, and how can the U.S. take to heart anything that emanates from the Taliban.
"Sullivan first stepped to the plate and, after ducking introductory questions from CBS’s Nancy Cordes, CNN’s Phil Mattingly, and two others, NPR’s Ayesha Rascoe fired off a heater about “why didn't the administration prepare the American public” for the “rough” and “very chaotic scenes” inside Afghanistan if such images of death and heartbreak were inevitable, regardless of when the U.S. withdrew.
"Fast-forward a few minutes to the one-two punch of Doocy and Wegmann, which featured the latter telling Sullivan that Biden “has criticized his predecessor,” “the Afghan army,” and “the Afghan government for all of their failures,” but not the Taliban. Sullivan responded to this humdinger by insisting Biden “has been very clear about his views of the Taliban” in not trusting them (even though they’ve said they need their help to get Americans and Afghan allies out of their clutches)."
Team Biden is now trying to spin that they’re doing a historically amazing job of evacuating people from Afghanistan…of course, that’s not true, but they’re spinning their wheels like mad to try and make people believe it.
History doesn’t lie; his missteps and failures were predictable and are clear evidence of the Peter Principle at work. The question is, what does America do now?
The Peter Principle warns of the dangers of advancing leaders to positions where they prove to be completely inept.
"Incompetence personified defines our current leader of the free world. Back in 1969, Peter and Hull wrote what they thought was a half-serious little book, The Peter Principle: Why Things Always Go Wrong, to poke fun at businesses which were promoting their leaders to levels of incompetence. The Peter Principle warns of the dangers of advancing leaders to positions where they prove to be completely inept. Little did they know, that not only did they nail an actual problem within all hierarchical organizations, but they also predicted its occurrence in politics. We now have the most significant and tragic example of the Peter Principle in modern political history — President Joe Biden.
"How has the Peter Principle tangibly played out in Joe Biden’s life? Well, let’s take a candid look at his track record and his personal acumen.
"In 1972, at the age of 29, after serving two years on the New Castle County Council, Mr. Biden was elected to the U.S Senate from the state of Delaware. He was re-elected to that same position six times. During this extended period of being a professional politician, he had very few noteworthy legislative accomplishments. During the duration of his senatorial career spanning 36 years, his ultimate and only true notoriety was being tagged as the “attack dog” of the Senate. Numerous flares in the night sky provided a warning that Biden had reached his career ceiling and that the Peter Principle had already occurred in his political occupation.
"During his senatorial post, he ran for president two times. He overwhelmingly failed at both. The first run in 1987 proved to be humiliating. It was confirmed that he had plagiarized speeches from four recent political figures. He also provided false information about his family background and his educational achievements. These profound examples of a lack of judgement and character resulted in his dropping out of the race. Twenty years later, Biden threw his hat in the ring again. This campaign, based on his self-proclaimed excellent foreign policy experience, resulted in abysmal showings in the caucuses and the polls. Biden dropped out of the race and emphatically stated that he would never run for president again. Democratic voters continued to see the Peter Principle at play as they voiced their consistent concern regarding Biden’s vision of becoming president.". . .

Newsom's maskless appearance at the expensive ($350 a plate) French Laundry restaurant, celebrating the birthday of a Democratic lobbyist, was an unforced error, perhaps characteristic of a politician whose core constituency has been San Francisco billionaires.
Jewish World Review"The nation's largest state has just voted in an election triggered by one of the nation's weirdest recall processes, and the results have come out just about where they've been before.
"California Gov. Gavin Newsom was elected governor in 2018 by 62% to 38%, a result that was, unsurprisingly in an era of straight-ticket voting and strong partisan allegiance, almost identical to President Joe Biden's 64% to 34% margin over Donald Trump in 2020.
"As of this writing — and it has taken California weeks to fully count its votes in recent general elections — incomplete returns show 64% of Californians voting against recalling Newsom and only 36% for removing him from office.
"That result makes the second question on the ballot about who should replace the governor irrelevant. But it did enable Democrats to spend enormous sums linking Larry Elder, the conservative radio talk host who led in polls on the replacement question, as a clone of Trump.". . .
Rowley is not a conservative or a neoconservative. She ran for Congress, after being forced out of the FBI for whistleblowing, as a Democrat. She later left the Democratic Party, concluding it was corrupt.
"On the anniversary of 9/11, I am used to seeing the claims that Dick Cheney bombed the World Trade Center in an “inside job” designed to drag us into war. This is the Alex Jones school of thought. What’s worse is the tendency to “remember the victims” but refuse to admit that our nation has truly failed to remember them by avenging their deaths. China Joe has forgiven the killers and now wants to do business with them. Shame on the United States, a paper tiger.
"I asked former FBI special agent Coleen Rowley about the absurd “inside job” claims during a recent interview. She said the “inside job” nonsense is a lunatic response to those who wanted to use 9/11 for political purposes. She said these people believe those who wanted 9/11, the “new Pearl Harbor,” to happen, were those who were behind it. That’s faulty logic. The real problem is a national security state that refuses to protect the American people.
"She said it’s important to ascertain the facts about what happened. And those facts are that a Muslim terrorist group by the name of al Qaeda was on American soil plotting to attack the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and possibly the White House or the Capitol building.

Sussmann, whose firm had previously represented the Democratic National Committee, told the FBI’s James Baker in Sep. 2019 that he was not representing a client when pushing for an investigation into Trump. Sussmann denied any wrongdoing, while withholding the fact that he was working on behalf of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
Lawyers for Sussmann say that he “has committed no crime” and that prosecuting him “would be baseless, unprecedented and an unwarranted deviation from the apolitical and principled way in which the Department of Justice is supposed to do its work.”
“We are confident that if Mr. Sussmann is charged, he will prevail at trial and vindicate his good name,” they said.
..."Sussmann's false statements were part of an effort to start an FBI investigation of Trump, create media outrage, and tilt the election to Hillary.
commented: “Tax the Rich”……But first I’m gonna go have the time of my life partying with them all at the most extravagant over the top party of the year that is essentially a celebration of richness."
Sorry, AOC: The rich already pay their fair share (nypost.com) . . . "Polls rarely ask these people what a “fair share” looks like. Is a quarter of someone’s earnings enough? A third? Because the rich have been shouldering an increasingly larger share of the cost of government.
"The United States already has one of the most progressive tax systems in the free world. Those who make over $207,350 now pay 35 percent in income tax. Those who make $518,400 or more pay a 37 percent income-tax rate. At some point, taxation should be considered theft."
No, progressive taxation isn’t socialism. But the justifications made for tax hikes these days certainly are. Ocasio-Cortez is a fraud, of course, but it’s her retrograde economic theorizing that’s the real problem. And in this age of populism, increasing numbers of Americans are accepting Marxist conceptions of American life, in which the successful are parasites and everyone else is a victim of their greed....

Breitbart. . . “ 'Look, I regret having to say this, but when it comes to illegal immigration, you just can’t trust the Biden administration. It would be like trusting Harvey Weinstein with your daughter,” Kennedy declared. “When it comes to illegal immigration, the Biden administration lies like they breathe. They’re like timeshare salesmen. I mean, they’re peerless. The truth is that the Biden administration has an open border policy. The truth is that this year we’ll have well over 2 million people coming into our country, allowed in by the president, and we don’t have the slightest idea who they are. And I believe that the reason that they’re limiting drone usage is because they don’t want the American public to know, and I think this is illegal. And I think they are also misreading the American people. The American people support legal immigration. That’s why we welcome about a million of our world’s neighbors every year to become American citizens legally. That’s more than any other country in the world, but we do not support illegal immigration.”
