The Same Old, Same Old Deja Vu

Watch MSNBC and CNN for phrases loke "bombshell!" and "the walls are closing in!" Joy Reid will discover all forms of "racism" in the Republicans. TD

Victor Davis Hanson  "Attorney General Merrick Garland has just announced the appointment of special counsel Jack Smith.

"But Smith’s team will not look into the Biden family quid pro quo syndicate nor its incriminating confessionals on Hunter Biden’s laptop.

"Instead, it will further investigate Donald Trump’s possession of presidential records that were hauled off from Mar-a-Lago, as well as his purported role in the January 6 “insurrection.”

"We know the script that will follow because we suffered through it for 22 months and spent $40 million for it under Robert Mueller’s special counsel team.

"First, the Smith investigation will bear no resemblance to special counsel John Durham’s probes. The media ignored Durham. His team did not leak to the press. And neither a Washington, D.C. nor northern Virginia jury was ever likely to convict any perceived enemy of Trump.

"Second, upon the announcement of Smith’s legal staffers, the media will grow giddy that their resumes portend another “dream team,” “all-stars,” or “a hunter-killer team.' ”. . .

"Puff pieces will blanket the media. They will attest, just like “good Ol’ Bob Mueller,” that the former Obama Justice Department public integrity unit lawyer Smith is “an old hand,” “tough but fair,” “nonpartisan,” and a “prosecutor’s prosecutor.”

"Weeks into the investigation, the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, or MSNBC will darkly inform their audiences that “unnamed sources close to the investigation tell us that “a bombshell” is about to go off.". . .

Special Counsel Jack Smith Has History of Botched Prosecutions of Political Leaders

. . ."As Breitbart News reported earlier this week, Smith’s wife, Katy Chevigny, contributed to President Joe Biden and to far-left, antisemitic Rep. Rashia Tlaib (D-MI). She also produced a documentary about former First Lady Michelle Obama.

"Smith is tasked with the responsibility of determining whether to prosecute Trump in connection with the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, or the retention of presidential documents at Mar-a-Lago, which was the subject of an unprecedented raid earlier this year.". . .

Joy Reid: Why is MSNBC not ashamed over this demagog?

 Joy Reid Says BLM Protesters Would Be ‘Shackled, Arrested or Dead’ in Viral Speech on Race   (January 7, 2021)

. . ."Based on what I have read and heard, however, one can only conclude that Joy Reid is a nasty racist, certainly not very bright or even informed. She is both adept and very willing to incite violence by other people as long as she is unharmed by it.

"According to this report, Ms. Reid exhibits all of those traits and inclinations. She clearly intends to incite racial violence. From her quoted comments, she is of obviously sub-par intelligence, and she makes it clear that she is either abjectly uninformed or wildly mis-informed.

"She could be reminded that with the Black Lives Matter rioting no participants were fatally injured by law enforcement and were never confronted with lethal force.

"At the nation’s Capitol Wednesday, Capitol police and Secret Service personnel threatened protestors with guns and one female protestor was fatally shot.

"Had that happened to a BLM rioter, Joy Reid would have gone nuts (or maybe nut-tier) and media and race baiters would have labeled it the worst atrocity since Kent State.

"No one, as far as we know, has uttered a word or expressed a question about this tragic incident. ". . .  

MSNBC anchor Joy Reid's crying shame:Miranda Devine   "Joy Reid is a racist sociopath. How else to explain her reaction to Kyle Rittenhouse breaking down in the witness box during his murder trial last week? 

“ 'White crocodile tears,” said the hate-mongering MSNBC prime-time anchor. 

"This is a woman on a seven-figure salary who went to Harvard and has more elite privilege in her little finger than the 17-year-old son of a single mother who was in Kenosha working as a lifeguard when all hell broke loose in the form of BLM-Antifa riots in August 2020. 

"Yet Reid continually plays the victim and makes her living punching down at white people less fortunate than she is. ". . .

MSNBC’s Reid: GOP Taught People the Word ‘Inflation” Most Never Used that Word  . . ."MSNBC host Joy Reid said Thursday on “Deadline” that she never heard everyday people use the word “inflation” until Republicans turned it into a campaign issue.

"Reid said, “You know what is interesting too, is that I have actually never heard a person who isn’t an economist or works on CNBC, I used to do CNBC a lot as a guest, I used to do Larry Kludow show all the time, a couple of times a week, and the only people I ever hear use the word ‘inflation’ are journalists and economists. So that is not part of the normal lexicon of the way people talk. So, it’s interesting Republicans are doing something they don’t normally do which is use the common tongue not use just common English to do on their campaigns like they have with crime.”   Emphasis mine, TD

I can't believe she actually said that; She has to feel her viewers are the depths of stupidity. TD

Violent crime comes to previously peaceful and safe Martha’s Vineyard. And guess why?

As we know, increased, unregulated, illegal migration from Third World countries is associated with rising crime rates, and now Martha’s Vineyard appears to be no exception.

Peter Barry Chowka   "The previously unimaginable has happened: The storybook island of Martha’s Vineyard, the seasonal home of billionaires and hundreds of elite cultural and political movers and shakers, not to mention one of three year-round homes of the Obamas, has finally experienced that rarity previously limited to the mainland: violent gun crime. And surprise: The alleged perpetrators are not MAGA white nationalists. Rather, evidence so far points to migrants, possibly of the illegal kind.

"This is a bitter pill for most Vineyard residents to swallow. The island’s six towns have all declared themselves to be sanctuary communities. Last September, the island rallied (a.k.a. virtue signaled) around fifty illegal migrants who were flown there at the direction of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis – before they were bussed and ferried off the island less than two days later.".

. . ."Hey, Vineyard residents, it’s finally time for a wake-up call: Welcome to 2022 and Joe Biden’s transformed America, including Open Borders and millions of illegal migrants flooding the country. You asked for this, and now you’ve got it."

Adam Schiff; Part of the "greatest deliberative body in the world"

 Is there a theme here?

The Case For Booting Adam Schiff From The House Intel Committee

In fact, leaking on the Intelligence Committee became a favorite practice of the congressman, whose habitual leaks made their way uncritically into the pages of The New York Times. 

The Federalist  "After a four-year reign, California Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff’s days as chair of the House Intelligence Committee, marked by abuse and grotesque politicization, are finally numbered. But it’s not just Schiff’s chairmanship headed out the door with the incoming Republican majority; it’s his seat on the committee altogether.

"On Sunday, GOP House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy made clear a trio of liberal lawmakers were on the chopping block for their assignments after the chamber took the unprecedented step of dictating minority committee appointments under Democrat rule. Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene was kicked off of her committees just a month after her congressional inauguration.

“Should you become speaker of the House in January, what are you going to do in terms of these Democrats that you have on such important committees?” asked Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo on Sunday. “You’ve talked in the past about removing Ilhan Omar, you’ve talked about removing Adam Schiff, about Eric Swalwell. Will you deliver?”

"In January, McCarthy told Breitbart News each would be removed from their respective positions on the Intelligence Committee and Foreign Affairs Committee if he were elected speaker with a Republican majority.". . .

Adam Schiff has brought shame on our Congress, our nation and his own family. A plague on Democrats for not choosing to remove Schiff themselves. TD

An attempt to counter US dominance: Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping meet to ramp up their ‘no limits’ friendship

 

MSN   "This was the first in-person meeting between the two world leaders since the start of the Ukraine war. It is also the return of China’s Xi to the world stage with his first trip abroad since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic almost three years ago.

An attempt to counter US dominance

"The meeting was largely regarded as an attempt to ramp up their ‘no limits’ friendship and deepen economic ties, especially in the realm of energy by announcing new gas pipelines.

"It was also an opportunity for the two to discuss prevalent security issues and counter the U.S. dominance in the world, as President Putin said 'U.S. attempts to create a unipolar world would fail.'

"Seven months into the Ukraine war, Russia’s economy is battered by the multitude of sanctions imposed by the West. Reports suggest that Russia’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has fallen by 4% in the second quarter. Conversely, the growth of the Chinese economy has slowed down over this period, most markedly because of its ‘zero COVID’ policy that is continuing to impose strict lockdown mandates and border controls.

"However, analysts suggest that this is not a meeting of two equals. The latter is a superpower with the world’s fastest-growing economy, while the former is a dwindling superpower that is fighting a draining war in Ukraine and trying to build new export markets away from the West.". . .

Obama’s Doctor Exposes Joe Biden’s Mental Problems

 The Beltway Report  "Do you remember when the Democrats insisted President Trump was not right in the head and he took a cognitive test to prove them wrong? Now, Obama’s former doctor and current member of the House of Representatives, Ronny Jackson says that Biden needs to take the same test. He sent a letter that was co-signed by over a dozen members of congress, demands that he take the test.

"I wonder how the Democrats will react to that demand. Will they shrug it off or will they bribe a doctor to fake the test?  One thing we do know for sure, his handlers will never allow him to be honestly tested. They currently run the country because they control Biden and they won’t want to give that up. They are the leaders of the free world.

"The letter states:

"The American people should have absolute confidence in their President. They deserve to know that he or she can perform the duties of Head of State and Commander in Chief. They deserve full transparency on the mental capabilities of their highest elected leader. “

“To achieve this, we urge you to submit to a cognitive test immediately. We implore you to then publish the test results, so the American people know the full mental and intellectual health of their President, and to set an example for all Presidents to follow going forward.”

"The letter documents the reason he needs to take the test:

Previously, while on the campaign trail, you agreed to a similar assessment. At first, you “grew testy” and questioned “why the hell would I take a test,” according to an AP report. Later, you relented and said you were “very willing to let the American public judge my physical, mental – my physical, as well as my mental fitness and to, you know, to make a judgment about who I am.”. . .

After Nancy Pelosi: Now What?

Christopher Chantrill  "I don't know about you, but I just feel relieved that Nancy Pelosi has stepped down from leadership of the House Democrats.

But is it true that "Nancy Pelosi Lacked the Most Basic Skill of Great Legislators"? Or that "Nancy Pelosi will rightfully go down as one of the greatest speakers in the history of the U.S. House"?

"The answer to both questions is, of course: Yes.

"Who cares if Nancy Pelosi was not a great legislator? She did not become House Speaker to craft great legislation. She was there to ram through big government spending bills that distributed loot and plunder to Democrat voters and powerful interests and approved activists.

"Her crowning achievement, if you will, was to ram through ObamaCare, forcing moderate Democrats to vote for it, even though many of them lost their seats in the 2010 midterms. And Republicans don't dare repeal it.

"My only question is whether Nancy Pelosi understands this. Does she know that all she ever did was 1) insult Republicans as gun nuts wanting to rob senior citizens of their Social Security and Medicare benefits, and 2) ram through spending bills to distribute loot and plunder to her supporters?

"But then, I doubt whether Michael Corleone ever worried that being a mafia crime boss was not really the highest and best thing an American could be.". . .

Have the Democrats Destroyed Our Election System?

 D. Parker  "Is there any point in voting if we can’t trust the system -- or whether the liberty-denier Democrats will abide by the rule of law or basic decency?

"Do you get the feeling that you’ve been had?

"That terrible sick-in-your-stomach sensation when scam artists laugh and you realize they’ve done it again?  When all of our hopes for the conservation of liberty have been destroyed by the same type of schemes that we all should have seen coming a mile away?

"How does a party trying to destroy our constitutional republic for two years with poll after poll screaming that we are on the wrong track avoid a humiliating defeat at the ballot box?

"How does a party steeped in the worst aspects of fascism and socialism in a collectivist witch’s brew even have a chance after everyone has seen what they are at their core?

"What did they offer?  More of the same only worse, and we were supposed to believe Gen Z and everyone else couldn’t wait to get all their ballots in?

"You get the feeling that the illegitimate Left is verging between trying to hide their malicious merriment at ‘winning’ again and coming out with a ‘what are you going to do about it’ moment.

"The liberty deniers of ‘the nation’ seems to be on the verge of the latter with a screed titled: “Democrats, Time to Go Big.”  Starting out with the fact that even they can’t believe they did so well:". . .

Democrats have made America a role model for silliness.

Brazil’s Bolsonaro says that Brazil’s election stolen ‘pretty much the same way’ as America’s [video in English]

Demonization and confiscation of the assets of regime opponents are hallmarks of totalitarian regimes, even when given a patina of legality through executive orders and the like.

In the United States, hundreds of political prisoners languish in DC jails, with 20 months of pretrial confinement (many in solitary), an outrageous abuse of the judicial system that has drawn almost no protest from the powers that be in the Republican Party, fearful, evidently, of being tarred with the brush of an “insurrection” that was the first in history to be unarmed and ushered into the seat of Congress by guards holding open the doors.

What Happened To Campus?

 Legal Insurrection

Listen to me: “I’m not optimistic at all that campuses can be reformed. They certainly cannot be reformed from within…Academia is gone. It is a monoculture. It is a hermetically sealed bubble.”

"On November 9, I appeared on the Merion West podcast with Erich Prince.

The topic was What Happened to Campus?

On November 9th, the day after the 2022 midterm elections were held, William Jacobson, a professor at Cornell Law School and the founder of the blog Legal Insurrection, joined Merion West‘s Erich Prince to reflect on the election results and to discuss the state of free expression on college campuses. In addition to overseeing Legal Insurrection, Jacobson recently spearheaded the creation of Critical Race Training in Education, which aims to track the proliferation of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives and the extent to which they are manifesting in elite private schools, in higher education, in medical schools, and in military schools. During their conversation, Jacobson narrates some of his own experiences witnessing the impact of these initiatives at Cornell University, the role that financial incentives and accreditation bodies play in agitating for their further adoption, and whether or not he is optimistic that things, at this juncture, could still be reversed.". . .

Comment to this post:   Millenials are beyond stupid. So far gone I doubt we’ll ever see a recovery for this country.

Just had a text spat with one over global warming. As I was explaining the parts of the atmosphere and beating him over the head, he pulls out the qanon card. I never mentioned q and actually know little about it.

Kid just got a new job last year. He’s working “multi media” for some local political electees.

Although I managed to refrain from saying it I really wanted to call the kid the head video propagandist for his boss. No reason for some city to have someone videoing political speeches and ribbon cuttings.

Male Who Got Trounced on Boys' Cross Country Team Switches to Girls' Team, Smokes the Competition

The Western Journal

"The story has become all too familiar: A mediocre male athlete claims he is female, joins the women’s team and all of a sudden dominates his opponents.

"That story is playing out once again, this time in Seattle, where runner Aspen Hoffman is breaking records on a high school cross country team.

"Hoffman, a sophomore, ran on the school’s boys’ team in 2021, never cracking the top 50 in the 5,000 meters.

"But this year, Hoffman announced that he is transgender and joined the girls’ team, according to Libs of TikTok. And suddenly he is at the top of the standings.

"Hoffman went from 72nd place in the boys’ conference finals last year to first place in the girls’ competition this year. He then finished second at the district meet, helping his team qualify for the state championships

"Libs of TikTok noted that Hoffman’s 5,000-meter time would only have been good for 48th place in the boys’ division."

Biden’s White House literally could not be ‘more political’

He was finally their guy. Gone was the empathy guy. Gone was the unity guy. Gone was the moderate guy. Be mean, Joe. Get them, Joe. Get tough, Joe. Tell them their participation in democracy is a threat to … democracy! 

 NY Post  "Get ready, America: The Biden administration, emboldened by the Democrats’ midterm over-performance, is doubling down on its disastrous strategy to date. Per insiders speaking to Axios, Biden plans to remake “the White House into a more political operation.”

"Impossible! Biden’s already run the most political White House in recent memory, where the larger public good is brutally ignored in favor of the immediate interests of the president and his party. 

"Look at his disastrous border policy. It’s caused untold human misery and has now spread to cities — like New York — nowhere near the southern border, all while pouring money into the pockets of fentanyl-peddling cartels and human traffickers. 

"But it made his base of rich blue-staters happy because it ups the supply of cheap labor on which their lifestyles depend and lets them playact as humanitarians. 

"Or his student-loan abomination. He knew he lacked the authority to unilaterally forgive student debt (with money extracted from the less well-off); Biden and Nancy Pelosi both said as much. But the promise looked likely to help Dems in the midterms, so he “did” it anyway — timing it so the courts wouldn’t consider it before the election.  

"Now the order’s been struck down twice in court, as the president knew it would be. 

"Don’t forget his morally odious attorney general’s crusade against dissenting parents at woke school-board meetings. Merrick Garland wanted to bring the FBI to bear against members of the public objecting to their kids’ indoctrination into gender ideology and CRT.

"For Biden, politics always comes first. Don’t believe us? Look at the carnage he’s caused.". . .
