Russian Follies: The Sequel - American Thinker - By Clarice Feldman

Russian Follies: The Sequel - American Thinker - By Clarice Feldman

"Just days ago, on February 14 to be precise, Vladimir Putin said he prefers Biden in the 2024 presidential race. 

Nevertheless, the media, often with the intelligence community’s aid, seems to be trying again in the indictment of Vladimir Smirnov to hint that Donald Trump is somehow being aided by Russia.  

Thin gruel, indeed. A quick review of the FBI’s consistent election meddling and gaslighting of voters is the necessary background for this week’s account.

Background

In case, like me, you’re finding it hard to keep track of all the gaslighting on Russia in recent years, Adam Mill kindly documents 14 recent Russian hoaxes: 

1. The Russian Co-Signers Hoax: In August of 2018, MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell claimed Russian oligarchs close to Vladimir Putin cosigned loans to Donald Trump from Deutsche Bank. MSNBC quickly retracted the claim when Trump threatened to sue.

2. The Trump Tower Russians Hoax: In July of 2017, The New York Times reported that Donald Trump, Jr. met with a Russian lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, at Trump Tower in 2016 in the hope that she had opposition research against Trump’s Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton. Although a meeting did take place, the “Russian” in question shared a client with Fusion GPS -- the firm Clinton hired to frame Trump...

3. The Hunter Biden Russian Disinformation Hoax: In October of 2020, shortly after The New York Post reported on the contents of Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop , 51 intelligence officials signed a letter characterizing the story as Russian disinformation…

4. The Russian Bounty for U.S. Soldiers Hoax: In June of 2020, NBC cited anonymous government sources who claimed that the Russians paid bounties to the Taliban for every U.S. soldier it killed. Later, after the election, NBC admitted the story could not be verified…

Journalist arrested for leaking Fox News Tucker Carlson video | Blaze Media: 

A journalist accused of leaking videos of former Fox News star Tucker Carlson was arrested in Florida on Thursday and hit with 14 federal charges. Timothy Burke, 45, was charged with one count of conspiracy, six counts of accessing a protected computer without authorization, and seven counts of intercepting or disclosing wire, oral, or electronic communications.

Could be funny. But it just happened to Trump!

Every tragedy is a weapon for the left!-----Michael Smith - For some, moral certainty is a bit...uncertain....

Michael Smith - For some, moral certainty is a bit...uncertain.... | Facebook 

• In 2019, Sandy Cortez said: “There's a lot of people more concerned about being precisely, factually, and semantically correct than about being morally right.”

"...Chad Felix Greene has been following the tragic death of Nex Benedict, a female Oklahoma high school student who reportedly identified as nonbinary or gender fluid...

• Benedict collapsed the next day, was rushed to the emergency room, and sadly passed away.
• No cause of death has been released, but the medical examiner did say that there was no evidence any sort of trauma was involved.
• But that didn’t stop the powerline sitting carrion birds in the trans lobby.

Pretty much every one of them, including the risible and oddly appropriately named California State representative, Scott Weiner, chimed in on Twitter to say the Chaya Raichik (Libs of TicTok), the transphobic Oklahomans and the GOP was to blame because another trans person was killed at their hands.

• The first thing I thought about was the Matthew Shepard case...

If they made money from pipelines, they'd be for 'em. Doncha think?

What we should asking ourselves mysterious cellular outage | Blaze Media: 

Many Americans across the country woke up on Thursday morning without cell service — but there’s still no explanation for what caused the outage.

The most affected were AT&T customers with 50,000 outages officially reported at 7 a.m. EST, but some Verizon and T-Mobile customers were affected as well.

They both liked romantic get-away vacations to exotic locations, romance in Napa, Aruba, the Bahamas and Belize. 

Just think of the lovebirds on the sunny beaches of Belize and all those other places. 

But that’s not the best part.

• The best part is that it was paid for by the taxpayers of Georgia. 

And supported by Democratic plans to ruin former President Donald Trump, take all his money as if this were a banana republic.
Oh they don’t agree, and if you dare mention it they’ll play the race card...

A look at the history of its iconic swimsuit issue (first issued in 1964, the Swimsuit Edition was a major event across the 70s and 80s, at least) offers up both revelation and caution. 

• Through 1993, one (usually big name) fashion model would claim the cover each year, with wild speculation as to who it might be leading up to the big reveal. 

In 1994, they started going a bit off-script, with three now-iconic models on the cover...

Some signs of desperation emerged in 2016 when they ran three separate issues and three models, but things went off the rails in 2021. 

• The traditional "hot women" paradigm was set aside in favor of wokeness, with a couple trans models, a septuagenarian and an octogenarian, and a plus-size model gracing the covers from 2021 through last year.
• Trans-acceptance, age-is-just-a-number, body-positivity, and other culturally progressive values were suddenly prioritized in a publication whose readership is 77% male, and who, lets be frank, buy the swimsuit edition because it's full of gorgeous-hot women...

NYC Council Calls for Investigation into Plan to Hand Illegals $10K Pre-Paid Debit Cards

NYC Council Calls for Investigation into Plan to Hand Illegals $10K Pre-Paid Debit Cards: 

As the blowback continues over Democrat Mayor Eric Adams’ plan to give illegal border crossers in city shelters pre-paid debit cards, ostensibly to use to buy food, members of the city council have asked for an investigation into the scheme.

Adams proposed his new policy early in February, and insisted the program that would allow illegals to feed themselves would save the city millions of dollars in often wasted food-service costs.
