No, Democrats, the Obama-Biden Administration Was Not Scandal-Free

No, Democrats, the Obama-Biden Administration Was Not Scandal-Free:

• The Obama-Biden administration was plagued with scandals, and the biggest one may soon be revealed.

Joe Biden started his official 2020 presidential campaign launch  with a bang this week by declaring two glaring whoppers in two days.

First was his announcement video which focused on the oft-debunked media-driven lie about President Trump’s response to the August 2017 Charlottesville riots. 
The second was his declaration that the Obama-Biden administration was scandal-free.

Biden made the absurd claim on a Friday segment of ABC‘s “The View” program. Newsbusters has the transcript of the former veep talking fondly about his former boss:

BIDEN: The thing I’m proudest of is we coincidentally were each in a different part of the country and we were each talking to groups of people that were being televised, the same day, purely coincidentally we were asked what are you proudest of from your administration? You know what I said –it turns out he said the same thing and probably a little more clearly than I did. Is that, not one single whisper of scandal.

BEHAR: Not one!

BIDEN: Not one single whisper! [applause] That’s Barack Obama! That’s because of Barack!

BEHAR: I know! He’s amazing!

Biden is absolute right, they were scandal free.

Now we know for sure that Trump is the better man

Now we know for sure that Trump is the better man-By Patricia McCarthy

"Those of us who live in solid Democrat strongholds amid single-minded leftists will know what it is like to attempt a civil conversation about President Trump.  
This is especially true if one encounters those true-blue Dems in the wealthiest areas of California, N.Y., and D.C.  
Because they are wealthy, successful, often educated at one of the prestige colleges, they know, with every fiber of their being, that they are smarter, wiser, and better than any of us lowly, deplorable Trump-supporters."

If they are Jewish, and you ask them if they appreciate Trump's support of Israel, they will look at you, roll their eyes as if you were even more verklempt than they thought.  
They hate Trump more than they love Israel.  
If you ask them if they are bothered by the open acceptance of anti-Semitism by the Democratic Party, they will shrug at the lunacy of your question and say something like "anti-Semitism has always been with us."...

'Russia' collusion? Now Democrats to be investigated - WND

'Russia' collusion? Now Democrats to be investigated - WND:

At a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday, Republican senators asked Attorney General William Barr if he is investigating whether or not it was Democrats who were colluding with Russia.
“How do we know the Steele dossier is not itself evidence of Russian disinformation?” asked Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas.
He was referring to the anti-Trump, opposition-research document funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee. It was used by the Obama administration as evidence to obtain permission to spy on the Trump campaign.
The chairman of the committee, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said he hopes to deal with the Russian interference issue in a bipartisan manner.
“But when the Mueller report is put to bed and it soon will be, this committee is going to look long and hard on how this all started,” he said. “We’re going to look at the FISA warrant process. Did Russia provide Christopher Steele with information about Trump that turned out to be garbage, that was used to get a warrant on an American citizen? And if so, how did the system fail?”

MINI-ICE AGE warning as solar minimum hits ALL-TIME HIGH - 'It's a PERFECT STORM!'

THE solar minimum is well and truly here after scientists recorded an all-time high in cosmic rays, meaning Earth could face a ‘mini Ice Age’.

NASA predicts solar minimum will be at its lowest by 2020

Some ten years ago, scientists noticed an all-time high in cosmic rays – rays which originate from deep space, not to be confused with solar rays. 
Now, scientists have noticed cosmic rays are back on the up as the Sun goes deeper into a solar minimum. 
The Sun follows cycles of roughly 11 years where it reaches a solar maximum and then a solar minimum..."

Expect a Major Asteroid Strike in Your Lifetime, Says NASA Head - Slashdot
"This week, as scientists work through an exercise simulating an imminent asteroid impact with Earth, NASA's administrator Jim Bridenstine warned the real-world threat should be taken seriously. From a report:
Bridenstine acknowledged "the giggle factor," the dismissive response the topic has been met with in the past, at the start of his keynote remarks Monday at the International Academy of Astronautics Planetary Defense Conference in College Park, Maryland. "We have to make sure that people understand that this is not about Hollywood, it's not about movies," he said. "This is about ultimately protecting the only planet we know, right now, to host life and that is the planet Earth." As part of the conference activities, space agencies will also be live-tweeting a fictional exercise simulating what it might be like if such an asteroid were discovered on a collision course with our planet."

Barr: DOJ Has ‘Multiple’ Criminal Leak Investigations Underway | The Daily Caller

Barr: DOJ Has ‘Multiple’ Criminal Leak Investigations Underway | The Daily Caller:

Grassley sent a letter to Barr on April 25 inquiring whether the Justice Department is investigating leaks to the media regarding several stories involving the Russia investigation. Grassley noted a leak to The Washington Post on April 11, 2017, regarding the existence of a classified surveillance warrant against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
Barr did not identify which leaks are being investigated.
“We have multiple criminal leak investigations underway,” Barr told Grassley.

NPR: 8 Ways To Indoctrinate School Children With Warmunist Propaganda | Watts Up With That?

NPR: 8 Ways To Indoctrinate School Children With Warmunist Propaganda | Watts Up With That?

NPR/Ipsos conducted a national poll recently and found that more than 8 in 10 teachers — and a similar majority of parents — support teaching kids about climate change.But in reality, it’s not always happening: Fewer than half of K-12 teachers told us that they talk about climate change with their children or students. Again, parents were about the same.The top reason that teachers gave in our poll for not covering climate change? “It’s not related to the subjects I teach,” 65% said.[…]That raises the question: Where does climate change belong in the curriculum, anyway?...

NPR = Nitwit Pinko Radio

Nothing on that list of 8 idiotic “ways to teach climate change” is even remotely related to climate science… 

55% of the teachers surveyed said they did not teach about climate change in their classrooms. 65% replied that it wasn’t related to the subject(s) they taught and 17% said the didn’t know enough about climate change to teach it… 

My hunch is that 97% of teachers, including the 45% who “teach” about it, are insufficiently familiar with the science to teach it.

Instead of having English teachers focusing on climate change, maybe they should just teach English…

But then again, you can get, like, an Ivy League degree in, like, economics, you know, like by speaking this way. You can even, like, get elected to Congress, like you know, whatever…

Attorney General Bill Barr Says He Won’t Stop Using The Word ‘Spying’ | The Daily Caller

Attorney General Bill Barr Says He Won’t Stop Using The Word ‘Spying’ | The Daily Caller:

Barr continued, “I think spying is a good English word that, in fact, doesn’t have synonyms because it is the broadest word incorporating really all forms of covert intelligence collection, so I’m not going to back off the word ‘spying.'”
To further defend his use of the word, Barr pointed out that many members of the media also used the term before they decided to attack him for doing the same.
“Frankly, we went back and looked at press usage and up until all the faux outrage a couple of weeks ago, it’s commonly used in the press to refer to authorized activities,” he explained.

Don’t be fooled by Bernie Sanders — he’s a diehard communist

Don’t be fooled by Bernie Sanders — he’s a diehard communist
"As polls tighten and self-described socialist Bernie Sanders looks more like a serious contender than a novelty candidate for president, the liberal media elite have suddenly stopped calling him socialist. He’s now cleaned up as a “progressive” or “pragmatist.”
But he’s not even a socialist. 
He’s a communist.
Mainstreaming Sanders requires whitewashing his radical pro-communist past. 
It won’t be easy to do.
If Sanders were vying for a Cabinet post, he’d never pass an FBI background check. 
There’d be too many subversive red flags popping up in his file. 
He was a communist collaborator during the height of the Cold War.
Rewind to 1964.

• While attending the University of Chicago, Sanders joined the Young People’s Socialist League, the youth wing of the Socialist Party USA. 
• He also organized for a communist front, the United Packinghouse Workers Union, which at the time was under investigation by the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
• After graduating with a political science degree, Sanders moved to Vermont, where he headed the American People’s History Society, an organ for Marxist propaganda. 
• There, he produced a glowing documentary on the life of socialist revolutionary Eugene Debs, who was jailed for espionage during the Red Scare and hailed by the Bolsheviks as “America’s greatest Marxist.”...

Joe Biden On Anita Hill In 1998: 'She Was Lying':

But in 1998, Biden admitted to Specter that “It was clear to me from the way she was answering the questions, [Hill] was lying” about a key part of her testimony. The exchange was published in Specter’s 2000 memoir, “Passion for Truth: From Finding JFK’s Single Bullet to Questioning Anita Hill to Impeaching Clinton.”
The issue is important, as the media and other partisans rewrite the historical record about Hill and her accusations.

Street Preacher Greta Thunberg | NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

Street Preacher Greta Thunberg | NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

"Donna Laframboise has a pertinent comment:

...In recent months, climate preachers have garnered immense publicity. Greta Thunberg, a mentally disabled child from an extraordinarily dysfunctional family, has been telling us we’re out of time. 
The end is nigh. 
If we don’t heed her warning we’ll be punished for our environmental sins.

Rather than comforting this disturbed child, rather than urging this family to get its own house in order before it scolds the rest of us, journalists, politicians, religious leaders, and activists have instead made Greta famous.

This is madness. 
We’re now taking moral instruction from a household in which children decide to starve themselves for months, in which adults are told they’re not permitted to go to the toilet.
