Left Wing Cast

By Tammy Derouin

The layers of the onion are being peeled away and the truth is slowly rising to the surface. The truth has always been there, waiting to be exposed, waiting to be believed. The culprits of such unethical deeds did their best to hide the evidence. Our traitorous press assumed their new duties with the greatest of ease. They chose to assist those who felt they were above the law by attempting to sink the truth into the abyss. If loose lips sink ships then the tight lips of the press have betrayed the American people. The press, as a whole, no longer has the desire to search for truth or hold our government accountable. Those days are long gone but the betrayal is right in front of us.

Investigative reporting is a thing of the past. It has been replaced with circus type follies. Fairy tale charges and misleading documents, a means to an ends, is all that matters in the advancement of the agenda for the political Left. There is a circus atmosphere of clowns being exempt from malicious deeds as well as the members of the Left Wing cast, those who continue to perform accountability defying acts against America.......

Despite What You’ve Heard, 'Crumbling Infrastructure' Is A Myth | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD

Despite What You’ve Heard, 'Crumbling Infrastructure' Is A Myth | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD:
"Expect to hear the term "crumbling infrastructure" a lot in the days ahead, as Washington debates the merits of President Trump's plan to boost spending on the nation's roads, bridges, airports, railroads and whatnot by $1.5 trillion.
What's unlikely to come up in these discussions, however, is the question of whether the nation's infrastructure is really "crumbling" at all.
For the past four decades, there's been a steady stream of dire warnings about how our aging infrastructure was rapidly falling apart, and that without a massive influx of federal spending, roads would be impassable, bridges would collapse, ports would be unusable, and so on.
...So, what happened?
Those huge spending increases never materialized.
In fact, over the past 40 years, total federal, state and local government spending on infrastructure has remained right around 2.5% of GDP.
Yet despite all those urgent warnings about how we were vastly underspending on roads and bridges and such, the country's infrastructure never actually crumbled..."

FISA Scandal, Clinton-Obama Corruption, Lawbreaking. What’s Next? Prosecution | National Review:

"FISA-gate, Clinton emails, and Uranium One scandals are sort of reaching a consensus. Many things quite wrong and illegal were done by both Hillary Clinton and her entourage and members of the Obama agencies and administration — both the acts themselves and the cover-ups and omissions that ensued.
Remember, in the FISA-gate scandal such likely widespread criminal behavior was predicated on two premises:"

Triumph of the Shills - American Greatness:
"...Imagine for a moment that Joseph Goebbels, propaganda minister for the Third Reich, was an amicable fellow (which he was not), smiled often (which he didn’t), and decided to go on a goodwill tour of the West, with the cutest cheerleaders from the Hitler Youth in tow.
Imagine further that the Western media, knowing the scale of the atrocities committed by Nazi Germany, focused all its coverage on how cute the kids were and how well put-together Goebbels was—such a dashing fellow with his bespoke Hugo Boss suits, Italian shoes, and perfectly coiffed hair.
Never mind his regime’s death camps, or its military ambitions, or its summary executions.
Sadly, over the past few days, this contrafactual seems far less far-fetched as Western media took on the role of Leni Riefenstahl—glamorizing and spreading propaganda for the murderous rogue regime of North Korea, all the while trivializing its human rights abuses..."

Why does replacing food stamps with food so anger liberals?

Why does replacing food stamps with food so anger liberals?:

"The startling thing about this entire discussion is that liberals are outraged that people on food stamps are being deprived of choice.  Liberals didn't care about depriving people of choice when it came to Obamacare, or gun control, or raising taxes.  They didn't care even when Michelle Obama, the cultural tsarina in charge of food tastes, tried to tell our kids what they should be eating in school.

Why such a different attitude when it comes to food stamps?"

The Great Flynn Case Mystery

By Clarice Feldman

I have been wondering why, shortly after Judge Rudolph Contreras was (without explanation) recused from hearing the Michael Flynn case and Judge Emmet G. Sullivan took over, Special Counsel Robert Mueller agreed to postpone the sentencing until May, after the inspector general's report is due.

I have no assurances that my suppositions are correct, but I'm beginning to think that at the next hearing of this case, Judge Sullivan will hear Mueller dismiss the case.  
Here's how I come to that.

The only reason I can imagine why Judge Contreras was recused – note: did not recuse himself – is that he was a member of the FISC, the court that grants surveillance warrants under FISA.  
As the evidence mounts that the warrant was improperly granted, someone – perhaps the chief judge of the district – removed him from further participation in the case, likely because Contreras approved the warrant and its extension. 
If the warrant was improperly issued, all the evidence it garnered is tainted.

As to why the agreed upon delay, my thought is that Mueller wants to wait until the inspector general report so that, in a sense, his hands will be clean if the case is dropped, that he was compelled by the record to do so..."

Dear America: Your News Media Absolutely Hates You

Dear America: Your News Media Absolutely Hates You:
"It’d be nice to say that American media doesn’t hate this country. 
It’d be nice to claim that the American press, while maintaining objectivity and balancing against bias, is still inherently American – that they are patriots who love this country even as they report on its defects. 
...the American media, time and again, illustrates its utter hatred for the nation and its people in those newspapers and on television. 
Having judged the American project kaput after the election of Donald Trump, they are now stooping to the level of defending the North Koreans – perhaps the most brutal and heinous regime in the world today – thanks to some side-eye from its minister of propaganda, the sister of Kim Jong Un. 
If the headlines are to be believed, “North Korea heading for diplomacy gold medal at Olympics” is the story American media want to tell about this moment.
I wish this was an exaggeration. 
Witness this story from CNN today, with its dripping credulousness in attacking Mike Pence with a story sourced entirely to a diplomatic source close to the North Korean regime.
“The senior diplomatic source said Pence “degraded the image of the United States as a superpower” by meeting with North Korean defectors along with Otto Warmbier’s father, and by speaking strongly against North Korea on multiple occasions..."

FISA Scandal, Clinton-Obama Corruption, Lawbreaking. What’s Next? Prosecution | National Review
"What is the endgame to never-ending wrongdoing? 
The FISA-gate, Clinton emails, and Uranium One scandals are sort of reaching a consensus. 
Many things quite wrong and illegal were done by both Hillary Clinton and her entourage and members of the Obama agencies and administration — both the acts themselves and the cover-ups and omissions that ensued. 
Remember, in the FISA-gate scandal such likely widespread criminal behavior was predicated on two premises: 
1) certainty of an easy Clinton victory, after which the miscreants would be not only excused but probably rewarded for their zeal; 
2) progressive hubris in which our supposedly moral betters felt it their right, indeed their duty, to use unethical and even unlawful means for the “greater good” — to achieve their self-described moral ends of stopping the crude and reactionary Trump. 
The wrongdoing probably includes

• attempting to warp a U.S. election, Russian collusion,
• repeatedly misleading and lying before the FISA courts, improperly surveilling American citizens, 
• unmasking the names of citizens swept up in unlawful surveillance and then illegally leaking them to the press, disseminating and authenticating opposition smears during a political campaign, 
• lying under oath to Congress, obstructing ongoing investigations, 
• using federal funds to purchase ad hominem gossip against a presidential candidate, blatant conflicts of interests, weaponizing federal investigations, 
• trafficking in and leaking classified information . . . 

The list goes on and on..."
