Heh

 

"Real Smart Guys" Lose Very Bigly

This outfit, like a few others, is too 'smart' for its own good.

...McKinsey & Company, an international management consulting firm that advised Purdue Pharma to “turbocharge”  sales of Oxycontin during the height of the opioid crisis, entered into a deferred prosecution agreement with the Department of Justice (DOJ) that will require the firm to pay a $650 million settlement over five years....

Otherwise it would face criminal charges.

Which means that the outfit IS criminal, but has Smart Guy Privilege:  lots of cash.

 

The Trans-ing of Bud Light

You knew this was coming.

Bud Light is no longer the most popular beer on tap in U.S. bars, according to new analysis from a draft beer research group....

Bud Light has transitioned into Number Two.

For Menomonee Falls School Board Members.....

Surber points out the obvious about the Democrat-Left messages in the '24:

...The message of making your daughter share the shower with a man failed. The message of turning your son into a girl failed. The message of teachers talking about gay in kindergarten failed....

The MenoFalls Board should take that to heart.  Let the Underly/Evers extreme Left try. 

They will fail.

 

Classic FedGov Bee Ess

 Here's your Government!!

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) issued a joint statement on Thursday suggesting that the drone sightings in areas like New Jersey do not pose a national security threat based on current evidence....

Followed by this:

... The two organizations said that they will be working closely with local and state police to “confirm whether the reported drone flights are actually drones or are instead manned aircraft or otherwise inaccurate sightings.”...

IOW, the Feds have no idea what is being seen.

But they think they are 'not a threat.'

Disband the FEEB, Get Better LEOrganization

 

At Least 26 FEEB-Like Critters at J6

The Inspector General spills the beans that "Mr. Integrity" Wray refused to disclose.

A new report from the Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General reveals that 26 FBI “confidential human sources” (CHSs), aka federal informants, were present in Washington, D.C., on January 6, 2021. The FBI maintains that no direct employees of the agency were stationed at the Ellipse, National Mall, or Capitol grounds during the day’s events....

That number does NOT include actual FBI agents, nor of other Government spies/False Flag operatives from, say, the CapCops, NSA, or Armed Forces intel.  For all we know, the CIA was there, too, because Rules?  What Rules??

You say they wouldn't break the Rules?

... The sources in question were reportedly authorized to observe activities of interest but prohibited from entering restricted areas. According to the report, 17 such sources – 65 percent of the CHSs – entered restricted areas...

Of course they break the Rules.  All.  The.  Time.  

So sit down and STFU, jack.

Yes. China Has ALL the Info

Those Chinese drones over New Jersey?  Just part of a larger--and far more frightening--picture.

There has been some limited press coverage about recent Salt Typhoon — a Chinese cyber / hacking operation — but most Americans are oblivious about what has transpired. The story is simple. Following Edward Snowden’s escape to Russia and the release of damning evidence that the US Government was spying on Americans, the US Department of Justice pressured the telecommunications giants — i.e., Verizon, ATT and T-Mobile — to create a backdoor in their network software that allows Federal law enforcement to read texts and listen to calls on classified apps. If you are using WhatsApp and think you are safe from the government’s spying eyes, think again....

That's what the Feds and the Deep State do, of course.  But it is far worse than just some stalker-with-an-FBI badge.  Far, far, worse.

 ...Sometime before the November 5 Presidential election, the US intelligence community discovered (or learned?) that the Chinese had hacked the “backdoor” and have had full access to all US Government-issued cell phones that use a classified app for text and voice communications. A knowledgeable source told me that the compromise started in 2022 and was only recently discovered.

What does this mean? All conversations / communications over the commercial networks are (or were) being read / recorded by China....

So Well Hung in Peking is listening to Ham-n-Egger Jones who is listening to you sweet-talking your wife.  He's also listening to Gen. Pissjob making a date with Cong. Smith's wife for a......."tennis date."  And to Sen. Blathering Idiot talking about the 12-year-old boy he 'spanked' last night.  Or to Jim Biden acknowledging receipt of $15 million from Ukraine.  Or Mary Barra OK-ing a new source of lithium for GM.

Think some of that info is useful to Communist China and their interests?

The good news?   

They really don't care about your scheduling an appointment to get your car serviced. 

Note well:  the Brainy-Boyzzz at DoJ got what they wanted.  They just had no idea that two can play that game.  Maybe they're not so Brainy-Boyzzz as they think.

You Like to Eat? Too Bad!

Lovely chart at ZeroHedge.

By the way, the Producer Price Index was up again last month.  Eventually that becomes the Consumer Price Index.  PPI is now 3.4% year over year....

Back to your totes-unaffordable food habit:

 

 Thanks, Joe Biden!!

The Secret Stumblebums

 There are some things you just can NOT make up.

In the attempted assassination in Florida:

...the Secret Service was notified at 2:30 a.m. that Trump would play golf. He arrived at the golf course around 11 a.m. At 1:30 p.m., Trump having been on the golf course for about two hours, the Secret Service is conducting its preliminary sweep of the golf course boundary and discovers the shooter. The shooter, Ryan Wesley Routh, had been in his shooting position since 1:59 a.m. This latter data point is not mentioned in the report....

It gets even better.

 ...The agent first noticed the suspect, later identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, and then noticed the barrel of Routh’s gun sticking through the fence line. The special agent, who may have been as close as five feet away from Routh, immediately responded by firing shots toward the suspect. It is believed six shots in total were fired...quoting the Congressional report

NOT ONE OF THOSE ROUNDS HIT THE TARGET.

NOT ONE.

FIVE FEET AWAY.

Comment from RedState author:

...How does any human miss a target basically within arm's reach? How do you get within five feet of a gunman without seeing anything ... And how, in the name of all that is Holy, can't you definitively tell how many rounds were fired?  "[B]elieved six shots in total were fired" is NOT a number. Don't they keep track of ammunition in the Secret Service? Don't they have an SOP for loading magazines? How will "final ballistics" help determine this if you apparently don't know how many rounds you started out with?...

Even at his age, Clint Eastwood could do a better job than this clown-car.  We have grand-children who can shoot better than that, AND who know how to count rounds in/out of the mag.

Iranian operatives here to kill Trump will be laughing for weeks.  I don't blame them.

Paul Ryan's Beloved ObamaCare

Powerline discusses ObamaCare--which was a major factor in the murder of the United Healthcare CEO.

Recall that this is the ObamaCare that Paul Ryan refused to repeal.  Thanks, Paul!!

... Alyssia Finley at the Wall Street Journal [asks] the salient question: I thought Obamacare had fixed all these problems? We were promised that the comically-named “Affordable Care Act” would make health insurance cheaper for everyone—it’s right there in the name of the law, after all. What—you mean it didn’t? Who could have seen this coming?...

Powerline answers the question.  The answer is not flattering to Paulie-Girl:

... Any sentient human being, and probably some well-trained lab chimps, knew better. It is yet another vindication of the sociologist Peter Rossi’s “Iron Law of Evaluation,” which concludes: “The expected value of any net impact assessment of any large scale social program is zero.” Maybe less than zero in the case of Obamacare....

Thanks again, Paulie, you miserable little twit.

Following Medicare/Medicaid, health-care costs in the US have increased by 265%.  Two hundred sixty-five percent!

You will also recognize this play:  Congress forces others to do the dirty work so others can take the blame--or bullets, in the case at hand.  Also note the results of "Government workers' diligence":

,... the dirty secret of health policy since the failure of Hillarycare in 1994 is that the government demands that private health insurance systems do cost containment, so that they, and not the government, will take the heat. One of the superficial claims you hear from the left is that Medicare has something like a 1% administrative cost, while private insurance has something like a 25 to 30% administrative cost, the lesson being “See, government health care is cheaper!”

Now, assuming these widely-repeated figures are accurate (which I doubt), it is easy to have a low overhead if you are willing to have over $100 billion a year in fraud, as Medicare does. If private insurance tolerated this kind of fraud and extravagance, employer-based health insurance would be much more expensive than it is now....

Paulie-Girl Ryan owes the family of the United Healthcare CEO a groveling apology for Paulie-Girl's failure to lead--and his failure to do the Right Thing.  He wasn't the only one, of course; the entire Democrat Party, which installed this murderous abomination "Care" package should crawl over broken glass to render its apology, too.

We're not holding our breath--and we don't expect Trump to delete this abortion from the US Code.

Sad, ain'a?

Democrat "Ethics" Not Like Real Ethics

Sit down and prepare for a shock.

Rep. Susan Wild (D-PA), the top Democrat on the House Ethics Committee, admitted to the panel that she violated her sworn oath and leaked details of the investigation into former Rep. Matt Gaetz to the press, The Hill reported Monday....

Comports with everything we knew.  At least the Democrats are consistent in their immoral/unethical practices.

Drones Flying Over New Jersey?

A lot of people in New Jersey are complaining about drones 'the size of a small school bus' flying overhead.  The Governor of the State has no idea how to do............anything..........about it, and has asked the Feds for assistance.

DOES NO ONE IN NEW JERSEY OWN A .30-06?

The Never-Trump Crowd

It's not really a harsh putdown.  But it is not kid-gloved, either.  It's in a post written about some over-educated twit named "Last" who has decided that illegals should be deported.  Why?  Because they no longer vote 70++% Democrat.

Most of the SE Wisconsin Republicans know at least one of these:

....I'd point out that Last is also revealing that his constant claims that his policy positions are based on "principles" is and always has been the lie of a femmy narcissist with a sociopath's desire to control people through shameless lies and manipulation.

This describes almost the entirety of the NeverTrump dead-enders: feminine men (and some masculine women) who have never been able to distinguish themselves through the normal masculine ways of doing so. They've always been wormy cowards who advanced themselves through lies, smears, and manipulations well-known to particularly conscienceless 13-year-old mean girls. These Mean Girls In Weakling Men's Bodies collectively had a nervous breakdown and went genuinely mad when they learned that their sociopath's checklist of skills and aptitudes was being rejected and they could not control the people they had long abused....

They're still playing to their audience of 28, though.

In Automotive News.....

On occasion, we amplify news in the auto industry.

The parent company of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and (Dodge) Ram trucks is Stellantis, which also owns Maserati, Fiat, Citroen, Alfa, Peugot, and Vauxhall.

The now-resigned chairman of Stellantis, a wonk named Tavares, was a worshipper at the altar of the Green Goddess; according to insiders, he was maniacal about "Climate Change."  In addition, he was as ignorant as a post about how the car biz really works.

Let me help you with that:  if you are not selling your product in the USA, your car biz is in deep manure.  The inventory of Ram trucks--and other Chrysler products--grew like Topsy during this calendar year while Tavares was pushing all-electric vehicles.

Dealers do NOT like sitting on inventory.  At all.  So they started screeching.  Loudly.  

Tavares "resigned."

What's the clearest signal that Tavares' Green Crusade and his total ignorance of the auto industry was a very big problem?

   ...Well-known Stellantis executive Tim Kuniskis will be returning to the automaker, effective immediately, CNBC has learned.

Kuniskis, who retired from the automaker earlier this year, will once again lead the company’s Ram Trucks brand, according to two sources familiar with the decision....

Doh.

Incidentally, watch Harley-Davidson.  Their CEO is another Green Goddess-worshipper who hasn't a clue about the US market.  So far, he's been backed by his Board (which includes another Green twit, the CEO of Ford).  But sales of Harleys are tailing off..........and the tea leaves (see, e.g., Trump) are not favorable for Harvard morons any more, are they?

Oh, by the way:  Hyundai claims it is "streamlining" its US sales operation.  Not really.  Some of its sales representatives were engaged in "selling" cars to dealers in a fashion which was against strict Company policy, and--of course--their manager(s) were aware of the violation and did nothing to stop them. 

"Streamlining," my ass.  It was a bloodbath and there is more to the story, involving a lawsuit against a VERY large dealer--which is now dropped.

Trump's Deportation Manual

Welker doesn't deserve the time with him, but Trump utilized it well.

...President-elect Donald Trump outlined his plan for immigration policy, emphasizing deportation for those in the United States illegally. Trump expressed a commitment to removing illegal immigrants, starting with those who have committed crimes and expanding to others without specifying which crimes would be prioritized. This approach may also involve U.S. citizens choosing to leave with family members who are undocumented.

Trump’s stance reiterates a key aspect of his campaign platform. He also suggested terminating birthright citizenship via executive action, forecasting potential legal opposition.

Amid controversies surrounding family deportation, Trump spoke of treating families humanely, suggesting mixed-status families might opt to leave the country together instead of facing separation....

Finally, someone with the stones to deal with the bullshit of "birthright citizenship."

Another FEEB Trick: Robbery

The most important question:  Is he the ONLY one?

How much lower can the FBI sink? Just when you think this disgraceful agency has hit rock bottom, they manage to dig even deeper. This time, it’s yet another DEI hire making a total mockery of the badge. Agent Nicholas Anthony Williams has been arrested and convicted for robbing people blind during home invasion raids—and yes, at least one of those raids targeted a January 6th political prisoner....

When they show up "just to talk," politely tell them to leave and close the door firmly.

They will be back, of course, but you will have had time to remove all the items you should remove and videotape the remainder of your goods.  Don't forget to itemize your wife's underwear.  The FEEBS probably employ DEI-hire pervert undie-sniffers, too.

Deep State Surveillance? Far WORSE Than You Thought

We missed this report drop, but Wauck covers it.

He starts with a question:

...What measures will the GOPers—who now control all branches of government—take to reverse this?...

Don't make me laugh, Wauck.

Then he quotes the Daily Mail about the reports from Congress.  (We are *shocked*, *shocked*, I say, to note that the US "press" has not mentioned this.)

... The Biden administration has gotten banks to let them 'spy' on the everyday purchases and money transfers of Americans, carrying out millions of searches without getting a warrant typically required for such snooping, a stunning new Congressional report charges.

The House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government just released its damning findings, which the panel found skews heavily toward surveillance of Americans inclined to support President-elect Donald Trump....

No s**t, Sherlock!?

...Over 14,000 federal employees accessed that sensitive financial data in 2023 during which the subcommittee claims 3.3 million 'warrantless searches' were made.

...

The Biden administration worked with banks to comb through 'extremism' indicators like the purchase of a religious text, like a Bible, or searches including the terms 'MAGA' and 'TRUMP,' according to shocking revelations by the committee....

Then they checked with sporting-goods stores (guns and ammo), cross-referencing.

Which banks co-operated in spying on their customers?

...Bank of America, Chase, U.S. Bank, Wells Fargo, Citi Bank and Trust were all investigated in the probe looking to expose how the U.S. Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and the FBI worked together.

Charles Schwab, HSBC, MUFG, PayPal, Santander, Standard Chartered and Western Union were all also investigated....

Now you know.  Gonna do something about it?

 

Memories of Health-Insurance CoVid Practices

Ticker reminds us that the health-insurance industry has a crap-ton of skeletons (real ones) in its closet.  This follows the assassination of a health-insurance CEO and the gleeful reactions of many people and pundits to the murder.

Why are such reactions present?

...You mean like paying hospitals bounties for procedures that we knew were worthless?  Remdesivir, ventilators, and bonuses for ICU admission and death.  There was no bonus paid if you got up out of the bed and walked out of the hospital under your own power after having shown up with Covid; the more-severe you got nailed the more money they made including a special bonus if you got a toe tag!  You pay people for dead bodies you're going to get a lot of them -- and we did, about a million to be exact....

...Why am I supposed to give a shit if anyone associated with an "industry" that got paid for a million deaths with the highest bonuses being for bodies and zero bonus if you survived their "treatment" gets whacked?  I'm supposed to cry when someone who had a part in that gets murdered?...

Much as we have an urge to deal with Fauci, Birx, and hospital executives in the very same manner, it's still not the right thing to do.  Period.

But a few hundred criminal trials with death-penalty outcomes, followed by civil damages suits, would be fine.

In fact, they're overdue.

War on the Milk Front

Most of you 19 loyal readers know that the war is not restricted to the 'Deep State vs. Citizens', nor to the Military-Industrial-Complex vs. taxpayers.

There's also Big Pharma vs. babies (think "vaccines") and of course Big Ag vs. damn near everyone.  Big Ag chose raw milk producers as its first skirmish-ground of note and called on its FDA pals to crack down on small independent food providers.

...The federal government's war on raw milk, small farms, and the Amish is nothing new. However, it has escalated under the Biden-Harris regime as big gov't raced to put mom-and-pop farms out of business. It's all about federal agency capture (at the USDA and many other agencies) by the processed foods industrial complex, which views small farms as a competition threat. ...

The latest attack?

...The latest overreach in the war on raw milk comes as the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) ordered dairy farmers to work with the federal agency to test for bird flu (H5N1). ...

...Headlines featuring 'raw milk' surged in corporate media after bird flu cases were detected at dairy farms earlier this year. However, following former President Trump's victory and the strong probability of RFK Jr. leading HHS, anti-raw milk rhetoric in corporate media exploded in just the last few weeks....

There is ZERO evidence of Bird Flu foodborne transmission, of course.  But it's the pretext, just as was "CoVid" a pretext to assert near-complete control over the movements of citizens and their health.

Read and double-check everything.

It's Really National Suicide

Canada and Belgium have approved State-assisted suicide, and Britain is on the cusp of same.

A dissent is filed.  Here's the core of it:

...If the state can pass such laws, and the people support them—as they do by a wide margin, it appears—it seems like the whole business of civilization is wrapped up. The peculiar symptoms of our times—state officers’ refusal to enforce existing laws, the collapse of territorial sovereignty, the rise of human rights theory over traditional conceptions of citizenship and subjecthood, the devolution of state functions to private or quasi-private entities, the transfer of policy-making from political figures to unelected technocrats—are united in their degradation of the political state’s sovereignty. 

Legalization of suicide, in any form, is of a piece with this; it devolves the most important aspect of imperium, the power of life and death, from the traditional authorities in which it resides. Under the common law, felo de se was counted in the same genus as treason or rebellion, and its perpetrator’s properties and estates were subject to special legal scrutiny after his decease—as one of the jurists Kantorowicz cites in The King’s Two Bodies argues, suicide is a crime, not just against the natural law and the divine law, but “against the King in that hereby he has lost a Subject, and (as Brown termed it) he being the head has lost one of his mystic Members.” (This is distinct from the Roman law, which did not consider punishments for suicide unless committed to escape the consequences of a crime.)...

In the England of Chesterton, suicides were always buried at a crossroads, never in cemeteries.

In America, we have "Due Process."  Think that's an important bar to State-assisted suicide?

Didn't work with the dictatorship of Fauci and Birx, did it?

Born Here, No Longer Working Here.....

This country used to provide opportunity for its citizens.

No longer.

More than 1,000,000 fewer native-born Americans are employed than last year, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

The number of foreign-born workers employed increased by roughly 400,000 year-over-year in November, while 1,094,000 fewer native workers were employed, BLS data shows. The large disparity is partly driven by a decrease in the number of native-born Americans employed of 215,000 from October to November.

“Biden’s economic legacy, besides 40-year-high inflation and record debt, could perhaps best be described as transforming the American labor market into a temp agency for foreign workers and government bureaucrats,” E.J. Antoni, a research fellow at the Heritage Foundation’s Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget, told the Daily Caller News Foundation regarding the increasing disparity between foreign and native-born employment. “He [Biden] has left behind blue collar America to import new blue voters.”...

Trump won all three elections for a reason. 

Yes, the GOP Has Idiots

If you thought that the recent election would provide a cure, this item demonstrates that the Fevered Brow of Insanity still hangs in there.

Partially in a defense of the indefensible Trump "Vaxx" crapola, and partially paid political endorsement of Big Pharma......

The GOP-led Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic claims "there is little doubt that the rapid development and authorization of COVID-19 vaccines saved millions of lives." Its only cited evidence is two modeling studies, not real-world data....

Who needs "real-world data" when Big Money from Big Pharma--not to mention the idiocy of one Donald Trump--is on the line?

 ...Even as the report faults U.S. injury-compensation programs for leaving COVID vaccine-injured people in the cold, it recognizes that "limiting the liability of manufacturers also promotes the expeditious development of new and innovative vaccine technology which saves lives."

Federal officials have refused to turn over Freedom of Information Act records on their hidden, backend vaccine-injury database, separate from the public Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System, until at least spring 2026, in response to Just the News FOIA litigation....

Make it fast and to Hell with the consequences.  Granny's dead, and we're not even going to say "Sorry about that, Jack."

Yes, politicians suck.  Any questions?

Ace (AOSHQ) Nails This One

Can't really put it any more succinctly than this.

Commenting on the Canadian and British "assisted suicide" green-light, Ace laconically remarks:

...The Nazis wanted to kill the weak and economically unproductive, and they are rightly denounced as monstrous eugenicists.

The left wing wants to kill the weak and economically unproductive, and they are hailed as forward-thinking humanitarians.

So it really just comes down to your fashion sense -- pink and mauve, or black leather? That's the difference....

 

Senators Ernst & Graham OK'd THIS Guy

 They just can't vote for Hegseth, but this guy?  Hey, no problem-o!

I understand why Graham may like this one, but didn't figure 'farm-gal' Ernst.............aahhhhh, nevermind.

Romanian Revolution Near??

 Since a NON-globalist populist cleaned up in the first round, Hillary's "RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA" hoax-screech is heard again!!

The Constitutional Court in the European Union (EU) and NATO member state Romania has canceled its presidential elections just days before a scheduled vote, claiming a Russian interference campaign is the reason a pro-Trump candidate populist was the favorite to win the race.

Romanian judges annulled the second round of the presidential elections as polls suggested populist, NATO-critical candidate Călin Georgescu, who won a surprise victory in the election’s first round, was likely to win Sunday’s vote. According to the court, Georgescu benefits from an influence campaign on social media platforms like TikTok, similar to some run by the Russian government....

This is not a good way to capture the hearts of the people, EU/NATO/CIA/Nuland.

Games the Press Plays

 Not hard to tell how the Extreme Left "reporter" plays the game, is it?

...Schimel is a Waukesha County Circuit Court judge and led the state Department of Justice from 2015 to 2019. He previously served as the Waukesha County district attorney....

"....led the State Department of Justice....."

Well, yes.  He was the elected Attorney General of the State of Wisconsin at the time. 

He was also elected to the D.A. slot.

Feds Prosecute ONE Gun Crime......

The US Attorney here wants you to think his office is 'doing stuff".

 

A Milwaukee man was sentenced to more than seven years in prison after he smuggled more than 200 machinegun conversion devices (MCDs), commonly known as "switches" or "Glock switches," into the United States and sold them in the greater Milwaukee area.....

Whoop-de-doo. 👺

 It is against Federal law for a convicted felon to possess ONE bullet, let alone to have guns.   So this US Attorney--who seems to have prosecuted one gun crime--wants you to think he's a really effective guy?

Beeee  Essss.  The US Attorney's office here has been useless on gun criminals for at least 20 years, just like the extreme Leftist DA's have been.

What a bunch of useless twits.

"Tough Guy" Tony Evers?

Don't make us laugh, Tony.

..."As far as taking people from farms and factories in this state, that are the backbone of this economy, that will not work for us," Evers said. "We'll find out if they get that far. I'm not sure they will get that far. I'm not going to pre-judge that and stand on I-94 going into Chicago saying you're not going here, but we're going to fight for this, no question about that."...

Simpering little union bitch.  His kittycat is tougher than he is.

The Movie We Want To See

The movie won't be as good as the book, and the book will be a disappointment.

Still....

Mossad vs. the FBI

This is one wherein the FBI actually turns out to be the Good Guys.

...The FBI is America’s lead counterintelligence agency. As such, the FBI’s #1 priority is protecting America (and Americans) from foreign intelligence services that engage in espionage and target USPersons to turn against America. Israel is a country with a long and well documented history of espionage against America, of targeting, compromising (for action against America), and even killing Americans—yes, the USS Liberty and Rachel Corrie are two examples that come to mind immediately. The total tally of cases that confirm the FBI’s designation of Israel’s Mossad as an HIS (Hostile Intelligence Service) is too long to go into here. Think of Jeffrey Epstein, Jonathan Pollard (now leading a hero’s life in Israel for betraying America), the Larry Franklin/AIPAC case, the well documented spying and eavesdropping on US officials (up to and including the POTUS), the same regarding members of Congress—not to mention the special status of AIPAC and the Israel Lobby generally to operate as agents of Israel without registering....

Mossad, a Hostile Intelligence Service.

Who'da thunk?

South Korea Has a Suggestion for Biden

 We all know that another several hundred pardons will be issued by President King of Corruption Biden.

But why bother with all that paperwork?  There's an easier way, now in effect in South Korea, and for the same reason; the President is corrupt as Hell (second only to Biden). 

 

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declares emergency martial law, accusing the opposition party of "sympathizing with North Korea and of anti-state activities." (CNN)

"Through this martial law, I will rebuild and protect the free Republic of Korea, which is falling into the depths of national ruin."

"I will eliminate anti-state forces as quickly as possible and normalize the country."

He asked people to believe him and tolerate "some inconveniences."...AOSHQ quoting Colin Rugg

Substitute "Russia" for "North Korea".  The rest of the text is just fine for the purposes of Joe and the Democrats.

Of course, there are those 450++million guns in the hands of Americans to contend with......

Act Blue On the Hot Seat--FINALLY!

Whaddya know about that?  Act Blue is going under the microscope.  

Is this news?  YES!  Is it significant?  Probably.  So it is not covered by any SE Wisconsin news outlet.

A Wisconsin court decision is placing increasing scrutiny on ActBlue, a prominent Democratic fundraising platform. Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Brad D. Schimel approved a subpoena directed at ActBlue, demanding explanations concerning GOP consultant Mark Block’s claims about unauthorized donations using his email identity. This legal action is part of a broader investigation coordinated by Congress and 19 state attorneys general.

Judge Schimel rejected ActBlue’s objections, which claimed compliance with the subpoena was overly burdensome. The court granted Block and his legal team from the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) permission to pursue discovery, aiming to uncover potential fraud tied to the unauthorized donations from his old email address linked to various liberal campaigns....

Act Blue created "smurfs."  A "smurf" is someone who is named as a contributor to a Democrat campaign, but who did NOT make a donation--exactly as Mark Block asserts.  Usually, "smurf donations" are in very small amounts--$2.XX, as an example.  Sometimes those fake "donors" contributed well into the five figures ($10K+++) to hundreds of Democrat campaigns all around the country.  The Evers campaign of 2018 had a boatload of them, as did the campaign of Abortion Protasciewicz.

Congress and 19 Attorneys General are looking into Act Blue.  But not Wisconsin "news" orgs.

 

Got Gallium?

No, that's not a creature from Lord of the Rings.

Red China produces (mines) 98% of the world's gallium output.  And they just decided to halt ALL exports of the material to the USA.

What does gallium do?

 

 Yah, well, we can go back to hard-wired phones and ........ahhh......the US mail for data transmission, no?.

Yes, the Reds just told Trump to GFHimself....

HT:  Wauck

You're NEVER Cynical Enough...

 Maybe you thought that the 'opposition press' will finally bring out all the truth during the next Administration.

Hah.  That's only if you believe that the 'opposition press' tells all the truth.

They won't.  I'll cut to the chase here, but the entire post from Sundance is worth reading.

...A good rule of thumb is never to think of anyone from inside the DC information system, regardless of their disposition, as a Truth Teller.

Every Information Manager was matriculated, and are compromised, by the system around them that is entirely based on corrupt activity....

 ...Truth Teller Examples: Patel Durov, Glenn Greenwald, Edward Snowden and Matt Taibbi.  Pavel Durov (arrested in France) now lives in Dubai. Glenn Greenwald now lives in Brazil. Edward Snowden now lives in Russia.

  Truth Manager Examples: John Solomon, Sean Hannity, Sara Carter, Catherine Herridge, Steve Bannon, Kash Patel, Glenn Beck, Jack Posobiec, Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin and the entire Fox News lineup.  There are many more, but the financial aspect runs consistent.

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange had to agree to stop being a Truth Teller and become a Truth Manager in order to be released from prison.  As he readily admits, part of the agreement was to give the Western Intelligence Community first right of review for any information WikiLeaks would release.  This shifts Julian Assange from Truth telling to Truth managing.  In this unique case, I don’t fault him a bit....

The likelihood of Trump releasing all the truth?

Zero.

Not Just Tacky. Insulting!

The pictures are at the link.

Jill Biden’s Christmas decorations look like what would happen if a group of circus clowns projectile vomited all over the White House, which I guess is the perfect metaphor to sum up the last four years.

Remember that Barack Obama made him Vice-President.  

Obama would do anything for the power; the Bidens would do anything for the money.

 

Remember This?

ZMan has gems buried in his essays.  Here's one most of you have forgotten, as did I.

...once word got out that Clinton had pardoned Marc Rich there was a hue and cry in Washington demanding that the incoming Republican administration investigate the matter. It was not just Republicans pretending to be outraged. All the beautiful people were playing along as well. Federal prosecutor Mary Jo White was appointed to look into it, but she took the job seriously, so she was replaced with James Comey, who could find nothing wrong with it....

Key word:  "pretending."  George W. Bush fired a real prosecutor and hired a Deep State apparatchik.

Gee.  Huh.  How could that happen?

The Pardon Was NOT for Hunter

Can't claim this is original with me.

The pardon was for the benefit of Joe and his entire crime family.  Remember that Joe's criminal (treasonous) involvement with Ukraine, China, and Russia all flowed through Hunter--whose criminal IRS counts are no longer operative.

 ...On Sunday night, President Joe Biden announced a “full and unconditional pardon” on all “offenses against the United States which he has committed or may have committed or taken part in” over an 11-year period after repeatedly vowing he wouldn’t.

“I have never seen language like this in a pardon document that purports to pardon offenses that have not apparently even been charged, with the exception of the Nixon pardon,” Margaret Love, U.S. pardon attorney from 1990 to 1997, told Politico....

Without those convictions, indictments of Treason Joe will be near-impossible, and Treason Jim Biden is also breathing easier.

Update on Georgia's "Color Revolution"

Yesterday we noted that Georgia (the country) went nat-populist in its recent elections.

Today, Vox brings the news that the current President refuses to resign.

The neoclowns are up to their usual shenanigans in another country that borders on Russia, led by a French diplomat who somehow managed to get elected President and, like Zelensky in Ukraine, is now refusing to step down when her term comes to an end....

She also called for riots to express 'the real will of the people.'  I.E., the usual crap.

Look where that got the Ukrainians!

Grim's Analysis of Aleppo (etc.)

It's very hard to read the entrails in the Middle East.  Grim, who knows stuff, disentangles them.

...Yesterday a surprise offensive led to the fall of Aleppo, Syria's largest city. The most important question to ask yourself when trying to understand the various wars in the Middle East is, "Whose proxies are these?" The struggle for dominance and control in the region is led by different factions, and if a surprise offensive happens it means that one of them has provided clandestine support at sufficient scale to enable a breakout.  ...

Grim then dis-assembles a typically obtuse NYT article.  (Remember that the NYT is the official FBI spox.  Not CIA; that's the WaPo.)  In graf 9, the NYT finally comes clean on WhoDunIt.

...Oh. They're Turkish and Muslim Brotherhood forces. Erdogan, who has been aligned with and backed the Muslim Brotherhood across the region, is making a play to take advantage of the recent crippling of Hezbollah by Israel to strengthen his power versus Iran. This is part of the long-running Sunni-Shia competition to dominate the Middle East, and Erdogan's personal quest to restore Turkey to the leadership position of the Islamic world. The Ottoman Turks held that position (and the title of 'caliph' of the 'caliphate,' which the Brotherhood exists to try and restore) for centuries; and while the oil and gas wealth of the Gulf states gives them power and independence from the traditional Sunni leadership in Egypt and Turkey, it's a goal of Erdogan's to reclaim that place....

Side-note:  please, please, please:  observe that there is a religious background here.  Yes, it's 'territory' and 'influence,' but deep in the background is the theological split in Mohammedanism.

 

 ...Iran is the leading challenger to that traditional Sunni leadership, and it has had a good run for decades now following our deposing of Saddam and their consequent establishment of a 'Shia crescent' stretching from the gulf across Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon to the Levant and the Mediterranean. They use this to supply Hezbollah, and then Hamas and the Houthis. Their Houthi proxies at the mouth of the Red Sea have given them an ability to threaten shipping throughout the Middle East. ...

Russia supports Iran, who supports Hezbollah.  Russia also assists the Houthis.  When Israel took action against Hezbolla, Turkey moved.

...Most likely Erdogan started moving the clandestine support for this play about the time Israel and Hezbollah started their clash, realizing he'd be able to expand and consolidate his zone of control in Syria in the wake of that. He has several times threatened Israel over the war in Gaza as part of asserting that claim for leadership of the Islamic world, but as you can see, he's functionally on Israel's side -- even if he's actually only on his own. His actions damage the Iran/Russia/Assad axis, and therefore are bad for Israel's enemies. Whatever he may say out loud, what he's doing advances their interests:  accidentally, but actually....

 

There.  Clear enough?   

 

Of course not, Jake:  it's the Middle East.

 

Sen. "Holy Pictures" Hawley

Interesting little discussion here in the Senate about a stock-trading ban for Congress.

Note that Sen. Hawley is posing for holy pictures.

Also note that Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) offers a VERY sensible amendment suggestion. (8:00)

Congrats to you, Ron!!  But will it get past Holy Pictures Hawley??
