What The Left Has Learned From The Christine Blasey Ford Debacle

What The Left Has Learned From The Christine Blasey Ford Debacle

What The Left Has Learned From The Christine Blasey Ford Debacle
TIME Magazine helpfully reminded me this morning via Twitter that one year ago today we watched Christine Blasey Ford testify. Since then the deranged Left has been showing us what they learned from that debacle. Their battle cry is Resist and Destroy!
As I noted here, Ford’s testimony had so many discrepancies in it, you could drive two bulldozers through the holes she created. Never mind that. All the brave media firefighters jumped in to point fingers at Kavanaugh, call him mean, and try to sell us on their belief that this was a gender bias thing. They didn’t succeed and with a detailed thought-provoking speech from Senator Susan Collins to cap it all off, Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed to the United States Supreme Court.
Did the Left learn anything from last year’s vicious circus? No. *Side note: it is well worth your time to read “Justice on Trial” multiple times. Why? Because since the Kavanaugh hearings last year, the Left is STILL running with that playbook only they keep changing the packaging to hide the slime within.
As soon as Kavanaugh was confirmed, the Left with the media in the lead, went all in on the Mueller Report. They were one hundred percent positive that Bob Mueller would hand them Trump’s impeachment papers. Except, that didn’t happen. What DID happen is that the Democrats and media had to revise their spin while cherry-picking the Mueller report. Words were parsed into infinity in order to be able to tell their gullible followers that there really was a THERE! THERE! …it’s just not quite there …you see?
Ok, so getting Trump gone via the Mueller Report and Christine Blasey Ford didn’t work. Let’s find something else! Lo and behold…a whistleblower!!
Deanna wrote about the Adam Schiff clown show here. It’s worth reviewing the video just to make sure y’all understand how demented and enraged they are that Trump is President, not Hillary. Schiff’s recital of the parody transcript starts at about 3:30.

It took other members of the committee calling Schiff out before he admitted that his statement was actually a PARODY of the call transcript. Except that the damage has been done. People are believing that Schiff’s version is true. If at first you can’t succeed with lies re: Blasey Ford, try and try again.
The media is working overtime to provide cover for Schiff’s parody (Hi Wolf at CNN!) and positioning any pushback as Trump BAD for going after Schiff. Nancy Pelosi, with the help of the media is now telling us that Attorney General William Barr has “gone rogue.” The New Yorker has a lovely cover out showing Trump and Guiliani pushing Uncle Sam off of a bridge.
In fact, the Left’s new talking point is MAFIA BABY!!
The Left’s desperation has led them to resort to asinine tweet videos like this to make their case against Trump.
The New York Times is getting dragged for their story outing the CIA whistleblower. So, what do they do? Publish the tweet video above and have their brave ‘journalists’ beg their readership to stay with them!
Meanwhile, we are supposed to believe that this whistleblower stuff has made Republicans super nervous. 
“Just as significant, the fact that Trump didn’t receive unanimous public backing from Senate Republicans suggests real anxiety about what their political future holds. While many Republicans predictably stood with their base, a surprising number spoke out or said they were still processing the information. Utah Sen. Mitt Romney was the most prominent, saying the allegations were “deeply troubling.” He was joined by Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse, who has rarely criticized Trump during his re-election campaign. After reading the whistleblower’s allegation, Sasse unexpectedly acknowledged “there are very troubling things in here.””
Except that it has now been proven that Sasse’s remarks were willfully reported out of context in order to keep that narrative moving!
One final note here. The Mueller Report was supposed to be THE key piece in getting Trump impeached once and for all. But now, the Mueller Report will be taking a back seat at the back end of the very last bus.
Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony DID change America. The Left came out into the open with their playbook. It is one that stomps all over our Constitution. It is one that shreds due process and the rule of law into a pile of confetti. It is a playbook that will take words and completely redefine them and bury the original correct meaning deep underground.
The veracity of Ford’s testimony didn’t and doesn’t matter. The veracity and authenticity of the Steele Dossier never mattered. The whistleblower’s truthfulness and credible knowledge regarding the Trump/Ukraine call will never matter.
What DOES matter to the Left is destroying our Republic any way they can to further their own ends. About the only thing they did learn is that is is now OK to bring their hatred for this Republic out into the open.

SECURE SERVERS? COVERUP!

SECURE SERVERS? COVERUP!

It is not news to anyone who reads this site that the Democrats have gone around the bend. But their latest attack on the Trump administration, based on the fact that transcripts of Trump’s conversations with foreign leaders have been kept on a secure server, is perhaps the most insane yet. Conversations between our president and foreign heads of state on a secure server? I should hope so! Where else would they be kept?
Susan Rice has acknowledged that the Obama administration did the same thing, one of the few sensible actions we can attribute to Rice and her crew. But there is a difference: President Obama didn’t have to worry about hostile, embedded bureaucrats leaking everything they could get their hands on to the New York Times or the Washington Post. But that is the world in which President Trump, sadly, lives. So, all the more reason why his conversations with foreign leaders should be kept on a secure server, so that they might possibly remain confidential.
I want to be scrupulously fair here, however. It is not necessary, strictly speaking, for sensitive foreign communications to be maintained in a secure and confidential manner. There is an alternative: Trump could have hired some random IT person to set up a server in the bathroom of his house. He could have conducted foreign policy off the books–off our books, that is, since the Chinese, the Russians and anyone else would have quickly figured out how to camp on his “private” server and monitor all incoming and outgoing communications.
Why would anyone do anything so stupid? To avoid FOIA requests and thereby keep official communications secret from the American people, if not from the Russians and Chinese. But no senior U.S. official, sworn to protect the interests of Americans, would ever do anything so selfishly devious. Right?
Well, President Trump wouldn’t, anyway.

        THE WAY I SEE IT   by Don Polson  Red Bluff Daily News   10/01/2019
Sham, fraud and hoax to impeach

While there were genuine crimes by then-President Richard Nixon, meeting the “high crimes and misdemeanors” threshold for impeachment, it came down to a sufficient number of Republicans in Congress turning on Nixon to make his impeachment and removal inevitable. The actual crimes by then-President Bill Clinton arguably exceeded Nixon’s wrongdoing, sufficient for Clinton to lose his law license and for a non-politician to go to jail and pay substantial fines. His fellow Democrats hung tough; his removal failed in the Senate.

The above summary of recent impeachments points to the inevitable role of politics therein. The failure to convict President Andrew Johnson in the 1800s by a single vote in the U.S. Senate, after the House voted his impeachment, presents yet another example of failure by a president’s opponents.

Republicans suffered from Nixon’s resignation (prior to the House vote—Nixon wasn’t actually impeached) in a guilt-by-association rejection of the party of the president. Failure to remove Bill Clinton, however, had a mixed impact with Republicans again suffering from the spectacle. The prevailing muddying messages from a belligerent fight by Clinton and his allies drove a public rejection of the process.

Only time will tell the impact of the full-bore Democrat jihad against President Donald J. Trump, now in the “impeachment inquiry” phase; by not voting in the full House, Democrats can escape, for now, accountability for authorizing the process. To a great degree, the process is the punishment as Democrats roll out quasi-legal demands for documents and testimony, find friendly “Obama” judges to enforce those demands, and propagandize hand-in-glove with their media fellow-travelers and hacks.

Their thinly-veiled, non-stealth goal will be to sour the voters, at least those in the middle, on voting for Trump, or even not voting at all in disgust at how the impeachment circus has sullied his reelection. However, in the media “battlefield,”—unlike the total dominance of the networks under Nixon, and the emergent (now ubiquitous) talk radio and conservative Internet blogosphere under Clinton—Trump’s enemies and opponents now face a sophisticated and powerful pro-Trump message-delivery universe.

Much of the general public, excluding the truly Facebook-numbed younger demographic, has access to whatever depth of research they choose, as well as sources they find reliable to summarize complex messages. Digital titans like Google and Twitter may entertain delusions that they control the stream of information and massage the message, hence delivering the votes that the left needs to implement a return of Democrat dominance. Trump’s Twitter feed, which I again urge you to peruse daily, @realDonaldTrump, remains the largest Internet megaphone with 64 million followers and millions more that just read it.

I see, not a “whistleblower”—in fact, he or she doesn’t qualify as a legal “whistleblower” under the law, and the president talking to another nation’s leader isn’t subject to the applicable law—but rather an “Embedded Democrat Operative” (EDO or EDOs plural). They are distinguished from rank-and-file federal employees, who admittedly vote and contribute overwhelmingly to Democrats; EDOs participate in undermining, or “resisting,” Trump personally and his agenda and policies.

If you doubt me, take their own admissions aired in a Vanity Fair article from Feb. 2017. Look up “Resistance by whistleblower was part of the anti-Trump plan from the start” at LegalInsurrection.com, 9/29. “DOJ employee in February 2017 predicted resistance by whistle-blowing, leaking to the press and lodging internal complaints…‘Policy dissent is in our culture,’ one diplomat in Africa, who signed the letter circulating among foreign diplomats, told The New York Times.

“We even have awards for it (i.e. the State Department’s ‘Constructive Dissent’ award). You’re going to see the bureaucrats using time to their advantage…people here will resist and push back against orders they find unconscionable by whistle-blowing, leaking to the press, and lodging internal complaints. Others are staying in contact with officials appointed by President Obama to learn more about how they can undermine Trump’s agenda and attending workshops on how to effectively engage in civil disobedience.”

Deep State self-styled “resisters” conspired to provide an EDO (see above) intelligence official with their own first or second hand stories about the phone call between Trump and Ukraine’s president. Such stories are out of the “whistleblower’s” purview—and have now been debunked by the very transcript of that call, provided to Congress and the public. There are numerous retired, former EDOs from intelligence positions, that happily funnel and act as conduits for—important to note—illegally obtained “leaks.”

Factor in the following: “Senate Democrats Face Questions After Letter Resurfaces of Them Asking Ukraine to Investigate Trump in 2018” (D.P.: That’s literal foreign collusion by Dems). “Biden Accuses Trump of Trying to ‘Hijack an Election’ in Ukraine Call” (D.P.: From the side that engaged in the only documented Russian collusion in 2016 via the Steele dossier with Russian sources used against Trump).

“‘Ukraine-Gate’ Is About the Russian Hack That Wasn’t” (“President Trump asked the Ukrainian president about CrowdStrike, the politically connected cybersecurity firm that investigated the alleged Russian ‘hack’ of the Democratic National Committee.” The FBI never physically examined the computer).

A highly suspicious change occurred in the policy that a “whistleblower” could only report supposed misconduct personally observed; it changed to allow reporting of things others observed and therefore were literal “hearsay” evidence. No court or judge would convict based on “hearsay” evidence lacking other proof; Trump is not below the law—he cannot be impeached with faceless accusers, shielded from public view.

At least one Democrat (Rep. Al Green) has revealed the whole game: “I’m concerned if we don’t impeach this president, he will get re-elected.” (D.P.: Many Dems will admit it—Trump will win in 2020). “It’s not just that Democrats disliked Donald Trump. They declared him illegitimate. By implication, they declared anyone who supported Trump illegitimate, too.” (Roger Kimball, “The Little Engine That Couldn’t”; don’t bet on tarnishing Trump’s reputation to defeat him.)

Heartless People Are Attacking “Poor Joe Biden”

Heartless People Are Attacking “Poor Joe Biden”
There seems to be a new spin on the Ukraine controversy surrounding Joe Biden and his son, Hunter. Reporters and talk show hosts are coming to the defense of the 2020 Presidential hopeful and asking viewers to stop being heartless and attacking “poor Joe” and his family.
Hunter Biden has come under quite a bit of scrutiny over the past few days:

The View‘s Joy Behar came to the Biden family’s defense yesterday morning:
Don’t you think politically it’s dumb for the Republicans to go after Joe Biden’s son when he lost a son and daughter and wife?” I mean, people feel sorry for Joe! And it’s not him. He didn’t do a thing. Basically it boils down to nepotism and Trump’s got his whole family working in the White House! If you want to talk about nepotism!”-Joy Behar
Mazie Hirono:
(Trump) he’s going after Joe and his family for political purposes and I’ll stand with Joe against any president who acts that way.”-Mazie Hirono
MSNBC’s Chris Jansing:
(To Rick Tyler): Could this help Joe Biden? I thought the picture, for example, they put out there of him watching his only remaining child, living child being trashed, frankly by the President of the United States, can be effective, in addition to being true.”-Chris Jansing
Democrats have rallied together to “Stand with Joe”. Has the Biden family seen their share of tragedy? Sure. But what family on earth has not? Let’s give a quick debriefing on Hunter Biden, shall we?
Hunter Biden. The man who got sprung from the Navy due to a nasty, little cocaine habit. Once Vice President of MBNA bank, one of Joe Biden’s largest campaign donors. Coincidence? I don’t think so. Hunter Biden, of the private-equity firm, Rosemont Seneca partners, where he established business connections with Russian and China. Hunter Biden, the man who had an affair with his brother’s widow and went out on crack-induced benders. Trump did not need to cast any scandal on Hunter Biden or Joe Biden. The Bidens walked into all of this dysfunction on their own.
Now that Hunter Biden has been thrown into the mix, sympathizers are asking people to have mercy on the Biden family. To call scrutiny to the man or his father is heartless. They, collectively, have suffered so many losses and disappointments. “Poor Joe”, says Joy Behar. People (AKA Trump supporters) are heartless and trashing his only living son! (Never us mind that Hunter Biden happens to sound a bit like a spoiled, trashy dirtbag.) Poor greasy, hair-sniffing Joe who got the Ukranian prosecutor fired and bragged about it! Nope, Biden did not know a thing or “do anything”. That Joe Biden has been through some severe heartbreak, let me tell you. The Trump “Trolls” are now pointing the fingers at Hunter Biden to ruin Joe Biden’s life, apparently. The funny thing is, this whole whistleblower attempt started as a ploy to go after Trump and ended up bringing up bigger questions about the Bidens. Would humanity be so kind to us for unethical dealings and unscrupulous decisions? Is humanity, in general, kind to our children? We are, however, supposed to ignore this. Why? Because it is heartless to attack Joe Biden’s only living son. These boot-licking loons on our screens have been pushed into the deep!
The harsh reality of being in the political arena is the scrutiny that comes with the territory to which Trump is not immune. Joe Biden and his offspring are also not immune to this scrutiny. Joe Biden may not have done a “thing”, according to Ms. Behar but the fact of the matter remains that his son did do something. Part of being in the political forefront, as tragic as it may be when you have a dud middle son like Hunter who causes you grief, means having to answer for your kids, sadly. Joe should not be excused from or exempt from having to do this. Was Trump wrong to try to get to the bottom of this? Or are some of the masses wrong for questioning a Biden during such a polarized political climate when the democrats are so close to impeachment proceedings? We will continue to watch the manipulation and the tap-dancing, the heartless people that we are.
