Flashback: Dems, Media Predict Mueller Probe Results in Impeachment, Prison :: Grabien - The Multimedia Marketplace

My impression is after all of this is said and done that some people end up in jail’

Viewers likely started to imagine that the only possible outcome would be the Trump family being frog-walked out of the White House in handcuffs.

Tonight, Mueller's probe officially concluded. No further indictments will be filed, and no one in the Trump family will be indicted. The two-year investigation never charged anyone with conspiracy related to the Trump campaign and Russia.

The disappointment was evident on many of the news programs that served as the Mueller probe's biggest boosters. MSNBC's Rachel Maddow appeared to angrily ask why Mueller "let Trump off the hook?"

For a refresher on just how confidently these predictions were made, here are a few flashbacks.

In December 2017, MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski said the Trump Team might be going to jail "for the rest of their lives."
In December 2018, CNN's Wolf Blitzer asked Delaware Sen. Coons — as he often does — if he thought Trump might be facing jail time. Sen. Coons said yes, "the issues outlined against both Michael Cohen and Paul Manafort, I think, continue to sharpen the ways in which it is clear that the Mueller investigation has produced a whole series of actions not previously exposed to the public."
Democratic lawmakers were not immune from setting lofty expectations from the outcome of the investigation. In December 2018, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said Trump could be the first president "to face the prospect of jail time."
"My takeaway is there’s a very real prospect that on the day Donald Trump leaves office the Justice Department may indict him, that he may be the first president in quite some time to face the real prospect of jail time," Rep. Schiff said. "We have been discussing the issue of pardons that the president may offer to people or dangle in front of people. The bigger pardon question may come down the road as the next president has to determine whether to pardon Donald Trump."
In March 2017, Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) said the evidence he had already seen was enough proof of collusion he predicted prison sentences. "My impression is after all of this is said and done that some people end up in jail,” he told CNN's Blitzer. "My impression is that people will probably be charged and probably go to jail.”
In March 2018, ABC's Joy Behar hopefully predicted of the Trump family: “I think they’re all going to end up together in prison and maybe that’s a good thing.”
And that’s just skimming the surface.

The 'cowboy way' is the latest target of political correctness that replaces grit with wimpery - Washington Times

The 'cowboy way' is the latest target of political correctness that replaces grit with wimpery - Washington Times:

Image result for flickr commons images John Wayne

The code resurfaced in 2007 in a biography of the movie star by Holly George-Warren, a prolific chronicler of America’s popular culture.
The reason it’s included below is because cowboys are being thrown under the horse, along with “farting cows.” They’re the latest targets of the political correctness that seeks to replace American grit with a nihilistic creed of wimpery.
Actually, it started years ago, when leftists thought they had delivered a roundhouse punch against Ronald Reagan, and later, George W. Bush, by deriding them as “cowboys.” That made the two men rugged icons to many Americans.
The same cultural vandals made another stupid mistake by dismissively dubbing Mr. Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative “Star Wars.” They actually thought that linking the high-tech missile defense system to one of the most popular movie franchises of all time would help kill it.
Now, in Orange County, California, tin-ear activists are seeking to rename John Wayne Airport and remove the Duke’s statue over fatally “insensitive” remarks he made in 1971. It’s only a matter of time before they demand that all copies of his movies be burned in a cleansing ceremony, along with anything Thomas Jefferson wrote.

"...While the FBI was leaking...reporters were funneling gifts - pay-offs if you will - back to the leakers in the form of tickets to sporting events, golf outings, dinners, drinks, invites to private exclusive parties and more.
In other words, the complaints about the biased media working with biased and powerful federal bureaucrats who meet at private and elite cocktail parties to plot their own agenda and the downfall of their political enemies was not some paranoid fever dream of the conservative media it was true and, apparently, business as usual in Obama’s Washington circa 2016..."

Robert Mueller clears Donald Trump in Russia probe, William Barr says - Washington Times:

Special counsel Robert Mueller found no evidence that anyone connected with President Trump or his 2016 campaign conspired with Russia to subvert the 2016 election, according to a summary of his findings released Sunday by Attorney General William Barr.
Yet Mr. Mueller did find actions by Mr. Trump after he was in office that suggested he may have been attempting to obstruct the probe. Mr. Mueller did not recommend prosecution but left the decision up to Mr. Barr, who said he doesn’t see enough evidence of a crime to pursue charges.

In the article, titled “Conservatives face a tough fight as Big Tech’s censorship expands,” Trump Jr. claimed that the “right to freely engage in public discourse through speech is under sustained attack, necessitating a vigorous defense against the major social media and internet platforms.”
Listing Facebook and Twitter’s use of shadowbans, YouTube’s demonetization, and Instagram’s censorship, Trump Jr. declared, “If it can happen to me, the son of the president, with millions of followers on social media, just think about how bad it must be for conservatives with smaller followings and those who don’t have the soapbox or media reach to push back when they’re being targeted?”

WHEN THEY COME FOR THE JEWS, They Won’t Ask Questions.

"WHEN THEY COME FOR THE JEWS, They Won’t Ask Questions.

Only recently, a Belgian parade featured a float of grotesquely distorted Orthodox Jews in religious garb, perched on bags of money, à la the art of Nazi Julius Streicher. What makes this sickening display even more alarming is the official sanction given to it by the Mayor of Aalst, Christoph D’Haese, who stated, “It’s not up to the mayor to forbid such displays” and that the carnival participants had “no sinister intentions.” No sinister intentions? Adolf Eichmann also had no sinister intentions when he organized transportation to the death camps. After all, he himself had no part in the actual killing process; they just did their jobs.

We have our own anti-Semitic scandal with newly elected congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D)...Thus, the Democratic Party is falling farther left toward Islamic ideology. . . .

American Jewry is at a crossroads....But before they bury their heads in the sand once again, they should at least hear these simple truths. When our enemies came for us during the Holocaust, they did not ask if we were Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, or secular Jews. Neither were they interested in any past service we rendered for the state. We were Jews. That was all that mattered. If history repeats itself, when our enemies come for us once again, they will not ask if we are Israelis or Zionists. They will not care if we marched in Selma, Alabama; protested against apartheid in South Africa; supported equal rights for women; advocated for the LBGTQ community; and campaigned for Hillary or Bernie. It will matter that we are Jews.

Today’s anti-Semitism, unleashed by the Left and Islamists, is so visceral, virulent, vile, vicious, and vitriolic that it can no longer be justified under the guise of anti-Zionism...

The Garbage Science Behind the AP's Latest Global Warming Report

The Garbage Science Behind the AP's Latest Global Warming Report
"...A “freak out” is the only way to explain the breathtakingly stupid con job published by the far-left Associated Press on Tuesday.

The hoax piece is titled, “AP finds hot records falling twice as often as cold ones,” and a bigger piece of garbage science you will never read … at least until the next one.

Let’s take these one at a time.

The AP reports the following:

Over the past 20 years, Americans have been twice as likely to sweat through record-breaking heat rather than shiver through record-setting cold, a new Associated Press data analysis shows.

The AP looked at 424 weather stations throughout the Lower 48 states that had consistent temperature records since 1920 and counted how many times daily hot temperature records were tied or broken and how many daily cold records were set.…

The AP shared the data analysis with several climate and data scientists, who all said the conclusion was correct, consistent with scientific peer-reviewed literature and showed a clear sign of human-caused climate change.

If you read that closely, the AP is selling pure snake oil, and is doing so about a planet that is 4.5 billion — with a “b” — years old.

What I mean is that the AP wants you to believe that…

…more hot than cold temperature records being broken means something. It doesn’t.
…on a 4.5 billion-year-old planet, temperatures recorded over a mere 20 years mean something. They don’t.
…on a 4.5 billion-year-old planet, temperature records that reach back only 99 years (to 1920) mean something. They don’t.

Do you see what I’m getting at?

...Extrapolating 20 years out of 4.5 billion isn’t just cherry picking, it’s lying; it’s outrageous and irresponsible, but nowhere near as outrageous and irresponsible as this…

Here’s a list of the environmental hoaxes perpetrated by the media and scientific “experts” over the last four decades:

A new Ice Age will arrive by the year 2000.
We will all die when the ozone layer disappears.
The oceans are doomed.
Global Cooling will destroy the world.
Acid rain will destroy our forests.
Overpopulation will result in worldwide famine.
We will deplete our natural resources.
We will run out of oil.
The polar ice caps will melt.
Manhattan will be underwater.
People who live in cities will have to wear gas masks.
Nitrogen buildup will make the land unusable.
“Decaying organic pollutants will use up all of the oxygen in America’s rivers, causing freshwater fish to suffocate.”
Polar bears will go extinct.
The end of snow!
Super hurricanes!
Colder temperatures prove the planet is warming!

According to these lying liars, all of this was supposed to have already happened.

And now these lying liars are running out of hoaxes, which has made the AP so desperate it is reporting on 20 years of temperatures on a 4.5 billion-year-old planet, which is like judging a person’s life based on a fraction of a second of that life.

That’s not science, it is deliberate and naked dishonesty."

The never-ending Mueller investigation ends, but once the needle goes in… – The New Neo

"The never-ending Mueller investigation ends, but once the needle goes in……it never comes out.
The Russian collusion allegations have gone on about as long as the Trump presidency, the Mueller investigation nearly as long.
These things, and the hopes they both reflect and engender, have sustained the left and never-Trumpers of all parties for a long long time.
They are like a drug, and as with any drug, one can become addicted or at least dependent.
An addiction begins to end when the drug is withdrawn, but the addict can and often does substitute another.
Democrats have been preparing the new drug, much like the old one: Congressional investigations.
...They don’t just believe Trump is guilty; they know he’s guilty.
...But there are a goodly number who are convinced, even now, that Trump is the most uniquely evil man to ever hold the presidency, right up there with the demonic tyrants of history, and must be stopped."

The New Yorker on Thursday published a scathing essay from Moser, now a Rolling Stone reporter, accusing the left-wing non-profit of “ripping off donors” while turning a blind eye to sexual harassment and racial discrimination within its own ranks.
