Doing the Job Truthful Americans Won’t Do

A careful review of the official transcripts of its eight long hearings shows the committee repeatedly made connections that weren’t there, took events and quotes out of context, exaggerated the violence of the Capitol rioters, and omitted key exculpatory evidence otherwise absolving former President Donald Trump of guilt. While in some cases, it lied by omission, in others, it lied outright. It also made a number of unsubstantiated charges based on the secondhand accounts—hearsay testimony—of a young witness with serious credibility problems. [More]

So who are you going to heed to form an opinion on Liz Cheney? These guys or Kevin Costner?

Speaking of ‘Deplorable and Dangerous’

FBI Director Wray pushes back on threats following unprecedented raid on Trump [More]

Channeling his inner Hillary, is he?

Why not? He’d channeled his inner Blumenthal before he was even confirmed.

RELATED UPDATES

Be very suspicious of anything you hear in the media attributable to anonymous sources. The supposed leaks from unidentified persons supposedly with knowledge are either FBI/DOJ whispering in the ear of reporter-scribes which may or may not reflect reality, or people who don’t have actual knowledge, or sources who exist only in the imagination of the reporters. It’s all an unreliable web of deception. [More]

The best gaslighting uses coordinated narrative talking points.

Eric Trump tells DailyMail.com what REALLY happened in FBI raid: President’s son says 30 agents REFUSED to hand over warrant… [More]

At that point you notify them on camera you are calling the sheriff.

The only way to fight back is to make the kinds of people who’ve weaponized and undermined the American state suffer for their actions. They’ve arrested their enemies, revived obscure rules as pretexts for partisan attacks, and raided their opponents’ homes, and they won’t be sorry until they’ve felt the same pain. [More]

Or worse.

On Second Thought

They are looking for an excuse to indict him…..and keep him under indictment. While indicted he won’t be able to run for office. If they can get him behind bars that’s just a bonus. It’s a virtual certainty they will have “found” i.e planted evidence during this bullshit raid. The American Gestapo nee FBI will do whatever their masters in the American Communist Party tell them to do. [More]

Yeah, that was my fourth thought after I called it a day. Stealing 2020 wasn’t enough– after seeing his CPAC straw poll results and knowing people will be paying attention next time, stealing 2024 calls for pulling out all the stops. If this fails, some may be deranged enough to want that assassination Bernard Kerik is publicly speculating on, and all I can say to that is if they thought Archduke Ferdinand was a catalyst for something bigger…

What I can’t tell at this point is if this is a long-planned step or if it’s a last-ditch desperation “Hail Mary” by the Dems who know their numbers are up for November.  Trust in government is at a low and a significant portion of the country believes the last election was stolen– not just a handful of lunatics in buffalo hats egged on by assorted provocateurs.  That also explains why the Dems are so adamant about this J6 business– if legitimacy in their rule is exposed for all to see as fraudulent, they’ve seen what happens when truckers in Canada and farmers in the Netherlands are roused. They know that F-15s and nukes aside, they’re hopelessly outnumbered on the ground– which is why they want our guns.

I find it significant that, at this writing, there is nothing in the Google News feed about Mitch McConnell weighing in on this. I sense a combination of feckless Republicans not knowing how real hardball is played and some of the old guard rooting for the Swamp because they believe they’ll have a place in it.

UPDATES

We’ll probably want to check in on Donald Trump’s Truth Social page from time to time for statements.  This seems like a point to hammer on:

The FBI And DOJ Criminalizing Opposition To The Regime Is How The Republic Ends [More]

So is that a bug or a feature?

[Via Michael G]

Every American should be frightened and mad as hell by such unprecedented police state thuggery tactics and there must be a complete dismantling and elimination of the FBI. This is too much for our republic to withstand,” concluded Congressman Gosar. [More]

“FBI delenda est.”

[Via Henry Bowman]

This is a provocation. They are trying to get a reaction that allows a further crackdown. Don’t take the bait. [More]

He’s right about deliberate provocation, but this piece feels incomplete. “Be smart” has to include more than “do nothing.”

[Via Michael G]

Remember when Trump said it would be best for armed government agents to raid you and take your property first and then “go through due process second?” [More]

Helluva thing, being hoist with your own petard.

Oh, Well This Proves EVERYTHING

Well, it turns out there are photos. And here they are, published for the first time. [More]

And this made the ever-sold-out Drudge.

Sr. Bedoya, the floor is yours:

Admissible evidence? We ain’t got no admissible evidence. We don’t need no admissible evidence. I don’t have to show you any stinking admissible evidence!

Is this really all they want us to need? What honest man wouldn’t rebel against that?

Funny. They don’t invite comments.

Return of the Swamp Thing

“In our nation’s 246-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump. He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him,” the elder Cheney says in the ad, which the younger Cheney started running on Thursday, a week and a half before she faces a Trump-endorsed challenger in the Republican congressional primary Wyoming’s single congressional seat. [More]

And by “Trump” he means anyone who supported the agenda he campaigned on and who still doubts the official J6 narrative.

This is what someone the DSM calls a “staunch gun advocate” with ultra-establishment insider loyalties looks like:

“Whether or not there’s some measure there in terms of limiting the size of the magazine that you can buy to go with a semiautomatic weapon — we’ve had that in place before. Maybe it’s appropriate to re-establish that kind of thing…

Hey Dick: Don’t you have somebody to shoot in the face or something?

(This came across the transom after I submitted my latest AmmoLand piece on Liz Cheney getting longtime gun-grabber Kevin Costner’s support, which may be out later today.)

UPDATE

Here.

Media More Than Happy to Help Republicans Blow ‘Red Wave’

“Losses in Ohio, Georgia, and Pennsylvania would almost certainly doom the GOP’s chances of winning the Senate.” [More]

Democrat media megaphones are ready, willing, and able to amplify and exploit self-inflicted wounds as the Stupid Party continues to demoralize its base.

It’s a Big Club and You Know How the Rest of It Goes

Hunter Biden was longtime friends with a well-connected lawyer and lobbyist with deep roots in DC Republican politics — who praised him as a “rock star” and “beacon of hope.” [More]

He “served on former President Trump’s 2016 transition team”?

This swamp thing?

Proud of his working relationship with Norman Mineta, is he…?

[Via Michael G]

But No One is Talking About Taking Your Guns…

Not that that would invalidate the right to keep and bear arms…

Any bets on Donald Trump ever giving Thomas Massie the public apology he owes him?

I’ll have more to say on the foolish and subversive  “Active Shooter Alert” — and the foolish and subversive Republicans who appear to be doing their utmost to break up a “red wave — in an article I’m planning to write soon.

And This Surprises Who?

Today, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray demanding that they cease their attempts to illegally obtain information from local sheriffs on Missourians who have concealed carry permits. Missouri law specifically prohibits the sharing of information on concealed carry permit holders to any entity – local, state, federal, or otherwise. [More]

What, the Trump pick who agreed with Richard Blumenthal on guns?

Point/Counterpoints

“Will he run in 2024? You bet he will. Will he be the GOP nominee? Absolutely. Will he win the election? Yes,” Morris writes in his quick reading strategy book provided to Secrets in advance of tomorrow’s release. [More]

Vs.:

One glimmer of good news for Mr. Biden is that the survey showed him with a narrow edge in a hypothetical rematch in 2024 with former President Donald J. Trump: 44 percent to 41 percent. [More]

And:

Half of G.O.P. Voters Ready to Leave Trump Behind, Poll Finds [More]

So who do we believe? Those who want to demoralize the America First agenda and dissuade someone they fear will win from running, or an “ex” Clinton insider with suspect motives (and a book to sell) who may know Trump is too toxic to win, and so wants to encourage him to try?

The gaslighting is only going to get stronger.

 

Oh, Look, a ‘Right-Wing Extremist’!

YouTube, Instagram, Discord appear to pull pages belonging to Illinois shooting person of interest- He also had Spotify and Apple Music pages under an apparent rap alias [More]

Gee, why would the information controllers erase his trails? Especially when they’re simultaneously dropping hints that he was somehow affiliated with Donald Trump supporters?

UPDATES

Highland Park shooting suspect was ‘known to law enforcement’ [More]

No surprise there. And tell me those feeding him didn’t know he was broken.

I note the “real reporter” mentions an association with a “far-right European group” but never fleshes that out.  I guess “mission accomplished” is what mattered.

[Via bondmen]

  • Daily Beast, of all sites, helps clear that up (along with reporting that in addition to Trump references, the freak “also liked a Twitter video of President Biden”):

On most of Crimo’s social-media pages, and embedded in several of his videos, is a symbol that roughly resembles that used by Suomen Sisu, a far-right Finnish organization. Crimo, however, does not appear to mention the national group in his postings.

Full of Sound and Fury, Signifying What, Exactly?

The account was particularly powerful because of her proximity to power, with Hutchinson describing what she witnessed first-hand and was told by others in the White House. [More]

“And was told by others”? So all these headlines painting Donald Trump as a delusional, vengeful, and violent lunatic are over inadmissible hearsay?

So headlines that would be just as valid as the above would accuse the Democrats (and Swamp Republicans) and their media megaphones of upcoming election interference by poisoning public sentiment against not just him in 2024, but since he’s an avatar, against people who support the policies he campaigned on, and especially on candidates that he has endorsed who are running in November?

UPDATE

And from the Department of Did I Call That or What? comes this assertion in an email from MoveOn.org:

More than 100 MAGA election deniers have already secured their GOP nominations for the November ballot. They must be held accountable and prevented from corruptly seizing power.

What, by being elected?

No Guarantee

Prosecuting Trump will ruin our nation — and might not hold him accountable [More]

I wish I had faith the nation is not already ruined.

McCarthy must be picking up signals from the adults in the Democrat party who realize the blowback on what their uncontrollable mob is screaming for could be destructive to their interests. As for “raz[ing] the vital wall separating law enforcement from partisan politics” what the hell does this guy think we have now? And as for the “stolen election” being “baseless,” well, just because you throw out a ubiquitous talking point doesn’t mean it’s been impartially and definitively proven.

I do share his belief that Trump is so divisive he would be unelectable in ’24. On top of that, who among us, deep down, doesn’t believe the guy is the Professor Harold Hill of politics?

And by then the establishment Republicans will have had a chance to do nothing with their majority and not earn the confidence of the fickle public, independents, and just those sick of being betrayed who will stay home. The GOP needs a leader who believes in the same policies Trump espoused but can control the way he expresses and conducts himself.

I hope such a person who is sincere and can inspire exists.

Yeah, I know…

And So It Begins

Mehmet Oz, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, is quietly shifting his campaign messaging away from former President Trump as he transitions into what’s likely to be one of the most hotly contested Senate elections of the midterms. [More]

I’m shocked…shocked!

Wait ’til ol’ Mehmet says he thinks the 2020 election was valid.

The Donald is so good at firing ’em because he’s so lousy at picking ’em in the first damn place.

The Kill List

Louder, for those in the back: Donald Trump, his allies, and supporters are a clear and present danger to American democracy. [More]

And we know what violence monopolists like this hag and her allies and supporters want to do to them! All made possible by “democracy.”

Way to play useful idiot, “conservative” judge, and George H.W. Bush appointee Mike Luttig.

Who does this guy think he is? “Conservative” Adam Kinzinger?

End of Argument


Donald Trump owes this guy a YUGE apology.

And don’t get me stated on NRA.

Profiles in Teflon

Former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann was acquitted Tuesday of lying to the FBI when he handed over since-debunked computer data that purportedly tied Donald Trump to Russia, with jurors drawn from a largely Democrat-leaning pool saying special counsel John Durham didn’t prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt. [More]

Well, that wad is shot. No one really thought this was going to be allowed to go anywhere, did they?

UPDATE:

A juror in the trial of former Hillary Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann told the media after his unanimous acquittal on Tuesday that she didn’t think the case should have gone forward because lying to the FBI  wasn’t a big deal. [More]

Yep, in-your-face nullification.

Who thought three Hillary donors on the jury were unobjectionable? Throwing the fight much?
