Although I’m still busy working on decluttering and early “Spring housecleaning,” I am trying to keep up with the news too. The truth is I never did that diligent Spring and Fall housecleaning that my mother, grandmother and great-grandmother did. If I had, my closets and garage wouldn’t look like this.
The Dem and liberal media hysterical spin effort to demonize and impede DOGE sounds sad and pathetic at this point. The Democrat corruption, from top to bottom of the Democratic Party apparatus might just collapse their party and I’m all in for the vast Dem corruption to be fully-exposed. Every Dem scandal in the past 30 years has covered up massive corruption, abuse of power and abuse of federal agencies for partisan purposes. The Dem weaponization of the federal government started long before Trump entered politics.
While I’m not some big Elon Musk fan or even a big fan of how Trump set this DOGE effort in motion, but truly compared to the Democrat corruption, their current caterwauling and fearmongering about a “constitutional crisis” is frankly absurd.
USAID fraud has been in the news, but wait until they get to the pandemic fraud, waste and abuse. The US government funded all of the COVID vaccines – that DO NOT work. As of January 2023, the US GAO reported the US government had provided about $4.6 trillion dollars for the pandemic response and recovery. There was widespread waste and fraud with spending all the way back to Bosnia, with NGOs.
This case involves a scheme to fraudulently obtain and misappropriate $250 million dollars in federal child nutrition funds. One can only imagine what other massive fraud is buried in $4.6 trillion dollars of COVID funding. Then there was the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act which was really the Dems massive climate change spending bill, to the tune of $891 billion in spending on the Dem green agenda.
As Americans become more aware of the level of federal government inability to be good stewards of the people’s money, well, I suspect more will be demanding a massive change and some accountability. The people, in both parties, who signed on to all this reckless spending are just howling into the wind at this point.
The one thing I can say about Musk, is at least he has a proven track record at making money, lol. You don’t become the richest man in the world by sucking at money management. And while all the efforts in the past to try to run the government like a business have failed miserably, just exposing the fraud and waste and trying to rein in some of this is an important public service. Then perhaps our elected officials can start funding only the constitutionally prescribed government functions.
The Pentagon will be manning the battlements and digging a moat to try to thwart any effort to penetrate the inner-sanctum of corrupt Pentagon money-handlers.
It’s kind of wild the level of Dem and media hysteria already, considering Trump hasn’t even been in office a month yet.
The federal government’s need for serious housecleaning is way worse than my own house’s need, that’s for sure. If Trump makes even a small dent in the Washington corruption, he should be lauded. I’m all for Trump’s wrecking ball to start smashing the Dem #Resistance into a pile dust.
President Donald J. Trump won the presidential election. He won the electoral college vote and the popular vote decisively. I debated writing something for a few days now, but felt that my unsettled feelings would lead to too much emotional outpouring. I stayed up until 3:30 am to make absolutely sure Trump won.
I felt enormous relief that finally the Dem/liberal media spin info war suffered a crushing blow. It’s easy to watch the MSNBC and CNN liberal media meltdowns and the various liberal meltdown videos on social media and feel, dare I say, JOY, but now is the time for Americans, to demand real accountability for the vast Dem corruption of our federal government (especially our national security agencies).
With winning both the electoral vote and the popular vote, Trump does have a mandate and he’s set out a big agenda, both domestic policy and foreign policy, but if America is ever to put the final nail in the corrupt Dem machine and the vast corruption of our federal government, there must be serious accountability for the criminal leaking and abuse of power within our national security agencies – all to destroy Trump. The abuses of power at the top of the FBI need to be investigated thoroughly.
My sister messaged me this morning and she thinks Republicans should set up a commission to investigate the corruption. Not a bad idea, I think. She also thinks Trump should make a deal with Biden to pardon him and his family, if they provide information on the Clintons, Obama and other powerful Dems’ corruption. She also thinks they could start flipping higher up people in agencies and get them into CYA mode and singing like canaries.
I’ve been waiting for 25 years to see a real blow to the Dem/spin information war and last night was definitely real momentum to that end. That said these corrupt Dem elites didn’t become this powerful and this corrupt by being weak and timid – they will regroup quickly and try drastic measures, if they can pull it off. They’re cornered rats now, so hopefully Republicans can keep the pressure on and start getting them to turn on each other.
Until the Dem corruption is defeated, it’s best to remain vigilant.
American news media underwent a seismic shift since the 2024 Presidential Debate on June 27, 2024. Very quickly, top Democrats, like former presidents, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, along with many other prominent Democrats came out and declared that President Biden’s terrible debate performance was just “a bad night.” The liberal news media took that talking point and ran with it.
This Democrat spin messaging led to more X spin war battles and slowly, because Democrat spin mouthpieces on X weren’t able to divert their battle back to more Trump derangement allegations, well, all sorts of information has begun pouring out. The liberal news media has grudgingly begun investigating and doing their job, of looking into Biden’s health, lies and corruption. Most of that liberal news media adversarial reporting on Biden is in furtherance of top Democrats now deciding that Biden is likely to lose in November and he’s going to damage down ballot Democrat candidates. They want to ditch him on the 2024 ticket.
On July 2, 2024, Former Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi appeared on a cable news show for an interview, and launched a new Democrat talking point, that there’s a difference between whether Biden’s alarming “bad night” debate performance was just an “episode,” not some “condition to be concerned about. Here’s a report from NBC: Nancy Pelosi: It’s a ‘legitimate question’ whether Biden’s debate performance was a ‘condition’ or just an ‘episode’
Then last weekend, the NY Post, the same news source that broke the Hunter Biden laptop story in October 2020, which powerful Dem elites got banned on social media and had 51 former intelligence sign a letter insisting was Russian disinformation, broke this story:
This past week has been a deluge of information pouring out, as top Democrats are leaking like crazy to pressure Biden to drop out of the 2024 presidential race. They show no concern about having a CINC with serious cognitive decline, only about winning in November.
As these Dem leaks pour out, Chuck Todd belatedly reports that he knew two years ago:
Well, we know the Secretary of Defense can disappear for days without the WH even noticing. https://t.co/O2aZtlh6na
Here’s a tweet of Jake Tapper, who dutifully ran the Dem spin attacks, including the 2016 Clinton campaign dirty trick – bogus Steele dossier, is now running dirt on Biden. I believe it’s to aid top Dems in pressuring Biden to step aside and not some newfound integrity, but that’s just my opinion:
NEW: CNN's Jake Tapper, who apparently never realized Biden had cognitive issues before the debate, reads an incoherent Biden quote word for word on live TV.
Brutal.

Here’s John Kirby speaking to Biden’s ability to handle calls in the middle of the night. He claims two years ago Biden took a call in the middle of the night… and returned it at 8 am. Seriously, he said 8 am.
BRET BAIER: There's real concern that Biden isn't up to handle something that may come up outside the hours of 10a and 4p…
JOHN KIRBY: A couple of years ago, Biden got a call in the middle of the night — and he returned it at 8am! pic.twitter.com/Y6CwMkAudr
Most people on the right knew all along that this White House was a Potemkin village since that bizarre Biden in the Basement 2020 campaign. Everything since then has been endless smoke and mirrors to cover-up Biden’s “condition.” And now with Obama trying to pressure Biden to step aside, all of those who believed it was Obama pulling the strings, should be wary, because it’s now looking like Jill and Hunter have way more influence than Obama or Biden’s cabinet officials, who have been just fine running the executive branch however they choose, while their boss signs off on things, which his close aides hand him for signatures… The liberal media and elites finally going public with concerns about Biden’s fitness, regaling us with incidents from months and years ago, speaks to how dishonest, disingenuous, and morally bankrupt they really are:
The "Now They Tell Us" montage of all these lying, frauds will be something to behold. https://t.co/abId8T50I4
This scandal goes way beyond a bad debate performance – it’s widespread public corruption, that is breathtaking in scope. I’ve been trying to expose the Dem/liberal media spin information war since 1999 and refuse to get sucked into the November presidential race drama and all the nonstop polling frenzies. I believe exposing this level of corruption is more critical than any election. Our FBI and intelligence agencies have been corrupted, in service to Dem/liberal media spin war operations and almost all our institutions have been corrupted too.
In the 2020 election 51 former top intelligence officials signed a letter that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation and it wasn’t until this year when Hunter Biden was convicted of a gun purchase violation in Delaware that an FBI official testified under oath that the laptop was not Russian disinformation and they had it since 2019. The 51 intel letter happened in 2020 and no one from the FBI said a word, even though they had that laptop:
On the bright side, it took from 2020 to 2024 for an acknowledgment that the NY Post's Hunter Biden laptop story was true.
NY Post broke this Parkinson's specialist visiting the WH story over the weekend and the liberal media is asking questions today.
I’m not getting too optimistic, but finally after all these years it looks like this corrupt Dem/liberal media spin information hit an iceberg and their Titanic of lies and corruption is taking on water.
Who knows how many lifeboats are on board, but personally I hope all these corrupt liars go down with the ship.
The Democrats’ spin word games usually end up being weird projection. When the Steele dossier was dumped claiming Trump was colluding with the Russians, Dems kept asserting the information was “from sources close to the Kremlin.” If you relied on sources close to the Kremlin for dirt on your political opponent, that would be colluding with the Russians.
So, here we are with all the revelations about Biden and a Parkinson’s expert from Walter Reed visiting the WH 8 times in recent months. Karin Jean-Pierre has got to be the worst press secretary ever. She kept repeating stupid explanations, that made no sense, as usual. This scandal will build, no matter how much Team Biden and Democrats try to get past it. Biden’s condition will continue to worsen.
I came across this Washington Post story from October 2020, as Democrats were running the Biden in the basement campaign…
I suspect Biden had this serious neurological condition for years. I suspect they were running this story accusing Trump of hiding his health problems, while covering up Biden’s serious neurological condition during the 2020 campaign. I didn’t know exactly what was wrong with the Biden in the Basement campaign, but it alarmed me so much I voted for Trump, despite being turned off by a lot of his behavior, I supported most of his policies.
As a reminder, Dems pulled this same thing with Mueller heading the Trump-Russia investigation. Mueller’s name was bandied about from May 2017 to March 2019 as such a respected person, trustworthy choice – former FBI director, blah, blah blah. Then when Mueller appeared before Congress to testify about his special counsel investigation, the day before his office requested that his aide be allowed to sit next to him. Mueller had serious memory problems when he testified about his report and it was obvious he wasn’t running that investigation. There was no investigation or accountability for that fraud.
Unless he does something totally crazy, I will be voting for Trump in November and I hope more of this Democrat wholesale public corruption will finally be exposed. This Democrat ruthless lawlessness and abuse of power has been growing by leaps and bounds since the Clintons. Dr. Jill high on a power trip feels like we’re back to 1998 with Hillary clinging to the WH drapes. That alone caused a shiver up my spine.
Not a post here, just a link to a Matt Taibbi thread, CTI Files #4: The Hamilton 68 Connection, linking Terp, Jonathon Morgan, and the Hamilton 68 dashboard. Terp and Morgan worked on another NGO effort in 2014, joining Ushahidi, a Kenyan software company, open-source intelligence group (crowdsourcing). Wonder how much American taxpayers have sunk into these Dem/liberal cyber (NGO) efforts?
Morgan was the CEO of New Knowledge (now called Yonder), that specializes in information integrity. He also participated in a 2017 Dem false flag operation (creating fake Russian bots) against a Republican Senate candidate in AL. He’s linked to the Hamilton 68 dashboard, which ostensibly tracked down real Russian bots and fake Twitter accounts, yet were mostly just lists of ordinary people. Plus, his New Knowledge company was hired to pen the US Senate report on Russia’s social media operations.
With so many other big news events garnering media attention and a “boy who cried wolf” aura to all these highly partisan Congressional investigations, another House Republican led hearing into alleged Democrat weaponization of the federal government passed by last week with little notice. The opening witness statements were interesting and led me to some googling. The linked hearing video starts at the 36 minute mark. Committee Chairman, Jim Jordan, delivered his opening statement, followed by Democrat Representative, Stacey Plaskett, whose opening statement was a very typical Democrat, “nothing to see/Republicans are wasting our time” mantra. Plaskett was zinged last summer for what appeared to me to be a Freudian slip in an interview, where she said Donald Trump should be shot. She immediately backtracked.
Being weary of partisan investigations and Congressional grandstanding, I haven’t watched the entire hearing and don’t know if I’ll sit through the full three hours, but the opening witness statements included some information that likely is important. This hearing is an expansion of information by investigative journalists, Michael Schellenberger and Matt Taibbi, who looked into Twitter files Elon Musk provided to them when he bought Twitter last year and a few other witnesses, who spoke on free speech and censorship.
Yesterday I watched a YouTube video by an older lady homesteader, who was talking about her first experience having one of her videos removed from YouTube. I’m not going to mention her name, because I don’t want to cause her any harm. She was so cautious about her words, as she tried to explain her video YouTube pulled. That video was from six years ago. That would hint there’s a big purge of information effort ongoing. She related her social media history getting online with her gardening videos and setting up a blog. She said that video was from a National Heirloom Expo event, where she recorded a panel of speakers, one who is a current presidential candidate and they were discussing a chemical in a popular weed-killer. Some video from six years ago, by a small homesteading You Tube channel about a panel discussion at an heirloom seed expo was just banned…
No matter how much I’d like to move on from the American spin information war, I remain convinced this information war remains a serious threat to American free speech, our personal liberty and to our republic writ large. Some will likely consider this an overstatement or hysteria, but I believe it’s reality. While most of America, myself included, with all the other news events happening, didn’t pay an iota of attention to last week’s House hearing on the weaponization of the federal government, we probably should have been taking down notes.
It’s become a regular thing for several years to see YouTube videos where the content creator(s) mentions having videos demonetized or pulled. Similar complaints about social media moderation have been ongoing on other social media platforms. Of course, the most famous social media moderation action occurred on Jan. 8, 2021, when Twitter permanently banned former president, Donald J. Trump’s personal Twitter account. Although, I’d rather not be writing about the very online American spin information war, it’s real and it’s expanding and accelerating.
In 1998 the Clinton spin team launched what they termed a “scorched earth” spin effort to derail the Clinton impeachment investigation. Looking back at their rather thuggish efforts at witness intimidation and tampering (all women), cable news repetitive messaging barrages, with James Carville ranting nightly, and their nascent efforts at online spin information warfare on emerging social engagement venues (precursors to today’s social media platforms) things were less sophisticated than today’s high-tech/surreal psychological manipulation efforts at information manipulation and control. It’s always about control.
The Patriot Act, passed during the GWB Bush presidency, dramatically loosened the restraints on our intelligence agencies to gather information and monitor, not only foreigners, but American citizens. Sophistication in the Dem’s spin war grew and all sorts of academics devised theories and media manipulation tools to try to police and manipulate the vast media information terrain. By the Obama years, ideas and programs emerged to use things like behavioral nudge theory to manipulate (nudge) Americans into making better choices, especially in the health area. Nudge theory was the brainchild of American academic, Richard Thaler and popularized by a 2008 book, Nudge, written by Thaler and Cass Sunstein. The Obama administration embraced not only Sunstein’s wife, Samantha Power, who served in the Obama State Department and later as US ambassador to the UN, they embraced incorporating nudge theory into US government programs to nudge Americans on what to think.
We’ve come a long way baby, as the first witness opening statement by Michael Shellenberger asserted there’s an entire “censorship industrial complex,” that formed and has been evolving since 2017. He described the formation of the Cyber Threat Intelligence League in 2017. He related that he received whistleblower information and this sounds eerily like another version of the Steele dossier, replete with an assist by people in intelligence circles in the UK and the US. Here’s a bit from the Schellenberge, Taibbi, Gutentag, Substack piece, CTIL Files #1: US And UK Military Contractors Created Sweeping Plan For Global Censorship In 2018, New Documents Show, published on November 28, 2023:
“The whistleblower alleges that a leader of CTI League, a “former” British intelligence analyst, was “in the room” at the Obama White House in 2017 when she received the instructions to create a counter-disinformation project to stop a “repeat of 2016.”
So, while this is an assertion by some journalists right now, who claim they have a whistleblower providing information and documents, we’ll have to see what information comes out. It’s worth remembering Trump’s inauguration was January 20, 2017 and the Obama team, Democrats and the vast liberal media apparatus in America were going bonkers about “Trump the Authoritarian” and desperate to #Resist Trump, by any means necessary.
Another of the witnesses at this House hearing was Canadian Free Press journalist, Rupa Subramanya, who related what’s been going on in Canada to quell free speech. Using the COVID hysteria, Canada passed a new law, which allows the government to police speech and “debank” citizens for violating the speech laws. Subramanya testified more than 800 Canadians have had their bank accounts frozen, so they can’t access their own money.
Back in August I wrote a blog post, Who are the totalitarians?, where I mentioned efforts to crackdown on speech in the UK, Germany, Ireland and other countries were escalating. Now, we’re learning about a secret, hybrid UK-US program to monitor and control speech in America, hatched in the Obama White House, right before Trump took office, with tentacles into US and UK intelligence circles, but outside of executive branch (Trump’s) control and Congressional oversight, but allegedly having access to government funds.
And, as a reminder, in April 2022, the Biden administration launched, the short-lived Disinformation Governance Board, within the Department of Homeland Security, headed by a flaming liberal, Trump-hating, COVID zealot, Nina Jankowicz, who had tweeted during 2020 that she wanted the government to get tough and lock us down. That DHS effort lasted three weeks, but never fear, the left will always try another avenue to push their progressive agenda through.
Again, if this story about a “CTI league” operating outside of government control or oversight, yet with powerful partisan political guiding hands and access to government funding, is true… Who are the totalitarians?
I went on Twitter/X this morning and of course, our liberal media’s rush yesterday to run with Hamas’ version blaming Israel for a “missile attack that destroyed a hospital in Gaza – claiming mass casualties – at least 500 dead.” turned out to be a lie. The IDF and US officials conclude it was a Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket that misfired and hit a hospital. There’s been video footage from today showing the hospital wasn’t destroyed and it was the hospital parking lot that was hit.
Palestinian authorities, even before Hamas, routinely lied and created elaborate street theater productions of anti-Israeli propaganda – for decades this has been going on and is nothing new. However, all of this media embrace of the Hamas version ignited violent anti-Israel and anti-American protests around the world yesterday. The same liberal media that demanded endless verification of slaughtered Israeli (and American) civilians by Hamas, the same Hamas who is presently holding hundreds of hostage, took the Hamas spokesperson’s word yesterday without question.
This isn’t the first time the same crowd of liberal media and talking head class sided with terrorists though – they did it in 2020 when Trump was president and our military took out ISIS terrorist leader al-Baghdadi and Iranian terrorist mastermind, General Soleimani, because the liberal media didn’t want to give Trump any credit for that. Then Iran lobbed some missiles at US troops in Iraq .
Soleimani was the leader of the Iranian Quds Force and responsible for Iranian IEDs that were fed to terrorists in Iraq. He was responsible for hundreds of American soldiers being killed by those Iranian IEDs in Iraq, yet our media was glorifying him, all because Trump ordered US troops to take him out. This would be like our media cheering on Osama Bin Laden when US troops took him out.
I was on Twitter that night in January 2020 and then watched the Dems and liberal media spin effort take off, in real time, as those events unfolded and it was alarming to me. Iran lobbed missiles at US troops in Iraq, then Iran accidentally shot down a Ukrainian airliner taking off in Tehran. A big Dem/liberal media spin effort ignited. I was upset that these yahoos were siding with Iran, because they wanted to blame Trump for “causing” Iran to fire missiles at US troops in retaliation for the US eliminating Soleimani. The truth was Iran controlled the airspace at the airport in Tehran and was responsible for any planes taking off and landing at that airport. Their military accidentally shot down that Ukrainian airliner (although I was curious who all was on that plane). The US fired no missiles at Iran that night. Yet, these Dem and liberal media were spinning up “fog of war” and other crazy talking points, like asserting the shootdown happened due to “crossfire,” to absolve Iran of blame and blame Trump. There was no “crossfire,” since Iran was the only one firing missiles that night – attacking US troops in Iraq and shooting down a civilian airliner taking off in Tehran… They were willing to do damage control for the terrorist regime in Iran, even when US troops had been targeted by Iranian missile attacks that night – all because they hate Trump and wanted to blame him. It was the craziest thing I ever saw – until yesterday.
One of the big Dem spin queens during that Twitter spin effort was Susan Hennessey, who was working at Lawfare, but now is in the Biden NSA – yes, a person with that lack of judgment to spew pro-Iranian propaganda, when US troops were just attacked is at the Biden NSA. I’m including my challenge to her tweet, as verification of that spin effort, even though she sanitized her Twitter feed when she was picked to work at the NSA and that’s the person, whose tweet I was responding to in my first tweet:
What a deceptive bit of propaganda!
The US launched NO strikes that night – there was NO CROSSFIRE.
They're obviously radicals, so expect nothing different from them, but the American news media failed on an epic level yesterday. Something within the news media broke during the Trump era as scorched earth spin war, to destroy Trump, took precedence over fact-checking. https://t.co/FvJppeXSmf
I recall Andrea Mitchell gushing over the great General Soleimani too. Soleimani's terrorism resulted in hundreds of American deaths in Iraq from Iranian IEDs.
The difference now with our news media total absence of journalistic standards is their reckless scorched earth spin war way of reporting news helped ignite violent protests around the world.
One of those spinmeisters now sits at the NSA…protecting America. We are doomed with idiots like these running our news media and government. And the mainstream media hasn't even really delved into the Robert Malley, selling out America chronicles yet.
Yes, this terrorist-sympathizer is working in the Biden Department of Homeland Security – handling asylum claims.
Here’s a Marc Theissen post on Twittetr/X from this morning, pointing out that the New York Times yesterday used a photo from some other bombing, because today the images, show that hospital in Gaza was not destroyed yesterday:
This is turning into a huge embarrassment for the @nytimes. False headline, wrong picture. Total journalistic malpractice. Literally “fake news.” https://t.co/Oqqqt1Ekcd
I wasn’t kidding yesterday about how you have to be skeptical about every news report – no matter who is reporting it and be particularly wary of photos and videos, because images have always been easily manipulated – long before AI. When Stalin was dictator of the Soviet Union in the 1940s and 50s, he routinely had people erased out of photos, if they got on his bad side and were… eliminated.
In my X thread from this morning I mentioned Robert Malley and somehow the liberal media hasn’t rushed to dig into that Biden scandal and I expect that story will get the Hunter Biden laptop treatment from the liberal media – they’ll pretend “nothing to see here.” Robert Malley was working at the Biden State Department and is the administration’s top Iran negotiator. He also worked for Presidents Clinton and Obama. In July, the Biden State Department announced that Malley’s security clearance had been suspended for mishandling highly classified information. Here’s an article about this guy: High-Level Iranian Spy Ring Busted in Washington. I’ll be writing a blog post about Robert Malley soon.
As events unfold in this Israeli-Hamas conflict, Iran’s hands are all over this Hamas attack. We have an administration with a lot of apologists for both Iran and Palestinian terrorists in it – even their recently suspended top Iran envoy – Robert Malley was allegedly feeding top classified information to Iranian spies…
Update: 10/18/2023 8:43 pm, I just saw this Twitter/X thread by journalist Drew Holden, who put together all the media Hamas disinformation from yesterday:
🧵THREAD🧵
A deadly blast hit Gaza yesterday. Hamas blamed Israel. The media rushed to parrot their claims. Evidence suggests they were lies. @FreeBeacon
Here are the outlets who carried water for a terrorist group to smear Israel ⤵️ https://t.co/z3RW3XVmEe
This morning I had a doctor’s appointment and decided to drop off a box I had in the back of my car at the Goodwill, which is near my doctor’s office. Then I decided to stop by Dollar Tree, which is also nearby, and look around. When I was checking out I told the cashier I think my decluttering plan needs more work. I went to the Goodwill to get rid of junk, then I went to Dollar Tree and bought more junk… At least it was under $10.
Okay, this is going to be a long politics post and I’ll probably be writing mostly politics posts for a bit. I’m not buying into the Dem/liberal media spin hysteria that the raid on Trump’s home was because of some “urgent” national security threat pertaining to Trump allegedly having classified information in boxes, which necessitated this dramatic FBI raid. I will never be a die-hard Trump supporter, so of course, I realize Trump might have classified documents, even highly classified ones. I also know Trump lies a lot, so I try to look for facts. I’m using some of my tweets in this post, to save some time.
I believe what’s going on in this episode of Dem/liberal media Spin Theater is not only about the J-6 hearing, but also trying to incite and demonize “MAGA Republicans.”
#Resist was about delegitimizing and doing everything possible to remove a POTUS from office. The ongoing Trump/Russia Collusion was used to try to remove Trump from office, by any means necessary.
There's more to come with this raid on Trump's home, beyond Trump. I believe Dems want to provoke a violent backlash, to use as cover to impose all sorts rules on silencing the smelly Walmart people & undesirable "MAGA Republicans." Watch the Dem spin as it evolves.
Sorry that part of this tweet thread has the same tweet twice, but the entire thread won’t copy and paste, and the last tweet keeps copying two tweets at a time.
This issue of a president’s ability to declassify and what steps he needs to take to declassify information has never been put to any tests – despite what all these liberal experts on CNN and MSNBC wax on about. The president has unique powers in the executive branch under our constitution, so we’ll have to see how that plays out.
The actual details of the documents aren’t even publicly known and the actual process of reviewing those documents and assessing their classification status has not been completed yet, so all the liberal media hyperventilating about “nuclear documents” is spin being fed to the media from inside the Biden administration:
DoJ has set up what is known as a “filter team,” a separate group of agents and lawyers to review materials taken in raid to determine whether any of them are protected before they will be provided to investigators. Shades of “Crossfire Hurricane.” https://t.co/b6VDI4w1pz
From the Clinton email scandal, I remember reading information about how it’s not just a matter of determining whether information is classified or unclassified. Information could have been marked classified, but is no longer classified and vice versa, information can be up-classified now, that was not classified originally. Plus, there are the different levels of classified information. And of course this issue of a president’s power to declassify has never been tested.
Yesterday, some liberal media people were on a spin effort to create more Trump drama, going on and on about how dangerous Trump was for wanting to declassify some highly classified information that alarmed intelligence officials. The president has the power to declassify any information he chooses, not intelligence officials. It’s been amazing to me that the liberal media and anti-Trump people worked so hard to impede and obstruct every decision Trump made. Here’s an example of that and my quote tweet:
Seems like every POTUS, except Trump, was allowed to use the power of the office according to the TDS left. Obama authorized drones strikes on American citizens – Al-awlaki & his 16 year-old son. Don't hear any outrage about that. https://t.co/ayzahsESdu
I have been quoting liberal media sources and official government reports on my Twitter quote tweets with facts. I am using their own words to show they’re either ill-informed about their own reporting or deliberately lying to generate anti-Trump hysteria. And that’s what I want to get into here.
One of my sons today told me liberal Twitter was full of talk about something called “stochastic terrorism,” another made up bunch of liberal bullshit.
One of the first people to toss around this term was Juliette Kayyem, former Obama Homeland Security official: https://t.co/abTf3XhVoF
I believe Dems are deliberately trying to stoke right-wing anger and incite outrage, so they can use any incident of violence as justification for silencing the right. I believe Dems are setting the staging to start cracking down on First Amendment free speech rights.
Last week President Biden convened a meeting with historians & they were there to talk about the potential for “civil war”:
One of those historians at this meeting was Michael Beschloss, who is very active on Twitter and he leaps to retweet every stupid Dem spin line, plus he appears on cable news frequently. He was one of the idiots who spun up the drama over Melania’s Rose Garden renovation and blabbing that it was an “authoritarian design.”
Beschloss has spread every cockamamie Dem spin narrative, with gusto – even casting the Melania's Rose Garden renovation, using the Jackie O design as inspiration, as an "authoritarian" design.
"The revamp will return the Rose Garden to its 1962 blueprint, with updated infrastructure, including better drainage and "a healthier environment for plantings that reduce the risk of leaf blight," says the release."https://t.co/hC5p9KSClE
Melania had convened a group of experts, funding for the renovation was done with private donations and she wanted to go back toward the Jackie O original design. When this original Twitter/liberal media spin attack about the Rose Garden started there were even crazy liberals ranting that her new design used only white roses and was “racist.” Those white roses are John F. Kennedy roses… That’s how crazy things are with the conspiracy theory rabbit holes (and yes, there are plenty of those on the right too).
Just to demonstrate that this is orchestrated to drum up “fear of a civil war” and dangerous MAGA people – here’s Beschloss again:
"ominously cites Lincoln"
More of the Dem "civil war" blather, they're amplifying. They want to incite the right & then sit back and pontificate about – "Look how dangerous those MAGA Republicans are"…
Trump dishes out attacks too, but there’s been a widespread Dem/liberal media/ big tech (and NeverTrumper) #Resist effort, to do everything possible to first delegitimize his presidency, using any means necessary, but also to demonize and marginalize his supporters. Some of the anti-Trump derangement has been cruel and so crazy that it’s stunned me:
The TDS rabbit hole alleging Trump hid secret docs in Ivana's casket, is so cruel and unhinged that at first I thought it must be some kind of dark humor, but after seeing several tweets about it, I think they believe this.https://t.co/sy457Xp6c8https://t.co/CY9vnPojIT
In another post I’ll rehash some of the ways the Hillary email investigation was handled so differently than a FBI raid on her home, but for this post I wanted to share this information about “stochastic terrorism” and how I believe this bullshit will be used to silence people on the right – labeling them as terrorists or as “inciting” terrorism.
As a reminder, a few days ago I mentioned the FBI bulletin listing American Revolution symbols as indicative of potential right-wing terrorism and FBI director, Wray played dumb about that when he testified in front of Congress last week. I use the Liberty Bell in my blog name, lol.
I have taken issue with FBI director, Wray, making excuses for Antifa a couple years ago and insisting it’s not an organization, so the FBI didn’t track them. This is total bs., because the US has tracked Al Qaeda and other radical Islamist groups for decades now and Al Qaeda and most of these jihadist groups aren’t typical hierarchical organizations either. The US government has spent a fortune studying how to track these types of groups and Islamist-inspired terrorists, since 9/11. There’s also a lot of research into leaderless and decentralized organizations. The book, The Starfish and the Spider, by Ori Brafman, explains a lot of different types of those organizations, beyond terrorists, and it’s an interesting read. If a homemaker, like me, can easily find this information, assuredly the crack experts at the FBI can too, then again they have experts like Peter Strzok… And as an aside, somehow the FBI always tells us they were aware of a jihadist terrorist, after an attack here in the US, but then say the “motive” is unknown.
In the recent attack on Salman Rushdie, by a radicalized young man, whose mother said he came back from a long trip to the Mid-East changed, law enforcement was still saying the motive in unclear. Same PC law enforcement response, as usual, with Islamist terrorist attacks.
Wray was completely focused on right-wing domestic violence, even when BLM and Antifa were rioting in cities across America. AG Barr broadened the focus to track extremism of all persuasions. With the urgency of the “threat” Trump posed with these boxes of documents in a storage room at his home, Garland pondered the matter for weeks and Wray cut out of a Congressional hearing early on a Friday, to take a weekend vacation, despite knowing they had a FBI raid planned to deal with the “urgent Trump threat” on Monday morning.
"For weeks"
Speaks to how urgent it was… And of course, Wray was so alarmed about the threat that he bugged out of a Congressional hearing early & went on a weekend vacation. Yes, it was just so alarming😱🙄🤡
Yes, this really is quite a Dem/liberal media clown show, but it’s very serious. Millions of Americans could find their First Amendment rights infringed upon under the guise of “provoking a civil war.” And be assured, the people who decide which speech needs to be silenced won’t be anyone on the right.
I ordered Mark Levin’s book, American Marxism, a few days ago and want to start reading it. I have Jonah Goldberg’s book, Liberal Fascism, but he appears to suffer from TDS, in my opinion, and buys into all of the Dem/liberal media anti-Trump spin smear attacks automatically. That said, it is a good book.
Note: 8/17/2022, 8:11 am – I did some editing and added a few lines this morning. The hypocrisy and “rules for thee, but not for me” attitude among so many of the liberal elites always stuns me. I’d like to see someone ask Juliette Kayyem, who wants to silence “MAGA Republicans” and take away their rights, her opinion of the secret memo her husband, David J. Barron, wrote when he was in the Obama Administration. He was the author of the secret memo that Obama used as the foundation for drone striking American citizens. From Wikipedia:
“In 2009, while on leave from his faculty position, Barron rejoined the Office of Legal Counsel as Acting assistant attorney general. In 2010, he authored a secret memo which provided the legal foundation for President Obama‘s unprecedented decision to order a drone strike on Anwar al-Awlaki, an American citizen who was a radical Islamic militant living in Yemen.[5] Barron’s memo was described by The New York Times Editorial Board as “a slapdash pastiche of legal theories—some based on obscure interpretations of British and Israeli law—that was clearly tailored to the desired result.”[6]
This is going to be a long politics post with a lot of links & details, which I realize many people might be unfamiliar with, if they didn’t follow the Clinton email scandal closely. I did follow that investigation closely, as I have followed all of the Clintons scandals closely, especially since the Clinton impeachment scandal in 1998.
I believe the current raid on former President Trump’s home this past week had absolutely nothing to do with “nuclear documents” or “espionage,” but is a continuation of the Trump/Russian Collusion effort that began when the Clinton machine came up with the bogus Steele dossier, to paint Trump as “colluding” with Russia.
So, let’s start with a little bit of rehashing the social media and online dramas about banning right-wing people or people who get in the way of Dem spin narratives. I first became aware of this on Twitter a few years back when Twitter banned Alex Jones. Well, Jones is an easy person to dislike, but then things progressed to banning other right-wing people. Then the big threat Dems and liberal media began hyping since 2016 is “Russian disinformation.” By 2020, when the pandemic started, the big threat Dems and the liberal media were ranting about was “COVID disinformation” and actual experts, like Dr. Robert Malone, inventor of the mRNA vaccine platform, who had differing opinions on the COVID vaccines, were banned. Of course, the most famous Twitter ban, is former President Trump.
On to some of the other online drama that’s gotten a lot of attention recently– Dems redefining words and social media trying to force compliance to the new definitions. Recently, the word “recession” was not only redefined on social media platforms, but Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia, came under fire for locking the “recession” page from edits, after a flurry of edits by people trying to fight to maintain the accepted definition and those trying to impose the Dems new definition. This occurred after the news broke that the US had just had two quarters of negative growth.
I had noticed the partisan Wikipedia editing back in 2016, after a Trump/Hillary debate when she accused Trump of fat-shaming a former Miss Universe beauty queen, Alicia Machado. I just happened to look up her bio and I found it interesting and began writing a blog post, when I checked back on Wikipedia that bio had been scrubbed. I am glad I had copied some of the original entry and the sources listed at the bottom of that Wikipedia entry for my blog post, You can’t make up this stuff … The highlights are mine:
There was also information that Machado was accused of driving the getaway car for her boyfriend, who was accused of attempted murder, in Venezuela and a judge accused Machado of threatening to have him killed and using her friendship with President Cadera to ruin him. Lovely lady it seems, and there was the liberal media fawning all over her and Hillary championing her, but the real kicker for me was this, Former Miss Universe Gets Citizenship, Will Vote Against Trump. Yes, this woman got US citizenship and I wonder with her history in Venezuela and her alleged connections to Mexican cartel drug lords, how well she was vetted for US citizenship. Those Mexican news sources were quoting the Attorney General of Mexico. The liberal media effort to turn crook, Michael Avenatti, into a national hero was no accident. They were running the Dem spin info war effort.
Moving on, here are a couple tweets of mine from yesterday:
Twitter right was worked up about Wikipedia redefining "recession" recently. Been following this Wikipedia editing a bit since 2016. Alicia Machado's Wikiepdia entry went through a cleansing after Hillary dumped the fat-shaming attack at the end of a debate with Trump. https://t.co/URmrWywrqc
I have been following the Clinton smear machine and the Dem/liberal media spin war closely since the Clinton impeachment, in hopes of trying to expose some of the vast corruption, in any small way I can.
I haven’t pieced together all of the details of what I think is happening, but here are two powerful clues. It’s who they try to silence that catches my attention.
Funny, don’t remember the FBI raiding Chappaqua or Whitehaven to find the 33,000 potential classified documents Hillary Clinton deleted. And she was just a former secretary of state, not a former president.
DEVELOPING: Investigators reportedly met back in June w Trump & his lawyers in Mar-a-Lago storage rm to survey docs & things seemed copasetic but then FBI raids weeks later. Speculation on Hill FBI had PERSONAL stake & searching for classified docs related to its #Spygate scandal.”
Turley also writes, “Sperry went on to note that “the current deputy general counsel at Twitter is also the former general counsel at FBI HQ under Comey. His name as you may know is James Baker, and he was the top attorney who reviewed the fraudulent anti-Trump FISA wiretap warrants for probable cause.”
I think this brings us closer to what is really going on and this isn’t about “nuclear documents,” but another cover-up in progress.
Finally, here’s a tweet by Catherine Herridge, CBS news senior investigative correspondent:
Then President #Trump issued this memorandum 1/19/2021 on declassification FBI Crossfire Hurricane records. Circulated to AG, DNI, CIA. May now be relevant once full holdings from Monday search at Mar-a-Largo catalogued. https://t.co/riiagd8ct6pic.twitter.com/T8YKrZptS7
Perhaps, they wanted to preempt Trump from releasing information on #Spygate, but all I am sure of is all this “nuclear documents” and “espionage” drama is deliberate misdirection.
That’s all I’ve got for now.
Update: 8/14/2022 I like details, so I want to add the sources that were with the Wikipedia entry for Alicia Machado, back in 2016, when I saw it. #8 & #9 were listed for the entry included in this blog post. I don’t speak or read Spanish and know nothing about Mexican news publications, but both news sources cited the Attorney General of Mexico;
Today is another politics post. I spent a lot of time today on politics Twitter. I have 54 followers on Twitter, so perhaps it’s all just tweeting into the wind. I hope that maybe one tiny bit I tweet might help powerful voices on the right fight back against the Dem spin info war. This blog post is going to be short, because I don’t feel like posting a lot of links to news stories and other stuff tonight.
I’m just going to share what I am concerned about with the Dems effort to destroy Trump, by any means necessary. I expect the Biden DOJ will try to charge Trump with serious crimes and where that leads I do not know. I don’t know if it will lead to civil unrest, but I am positive that whatever happens in regards to Trump, it won’t end with Trump.
The Dems and political left in America will target any other Republican politicians, who appear to be gaining traction, as is obvious with the endless stream of attacks against Florida governor, Ron DeSantis. So, this is about much more than just Trump.
The left’s culture war has met a lot of resistance, with ordinary Americans speaking out against things like the climate-change zealotry & hysteria, the gender politics, and the attacks on even our American symbols, recently. There was a leak of a FBI bulletin listing American Revolution symbols. FBI Director, Christopher Wray was asked about that in a recent appearance and he pretended like he knew nothing about it, because I feel certain he knew he’d be asked about that. Here’s a quote from a Reason article, American Revolution Images Might Reveal You as a ‘Violent Extremist,’:
“When the FBI puts out a bulletin on symbols “used by Anti-Government or Anti-Authority Violent Extremists,” and it looks like a catalog of T-shirts half the country might want to wear, it’s a strong indication that the feds are way off-base. It gets even sillier when part of the bulletin resembles a brochure for a Revolutionary War museum. Then again, George Washington and the Continental Army were, arguably, “Anti-Government or Anti-Authority Violent Extremists,” which is a reminder that governments aren’t necessarily the good guys”
Beyond all the politics, there’s been a War of Words raging for years now, that propels much of the left’s culture war. When even the sitting president goes to great lengths to target “MAGA Republicans” repeatedly, however that is defined (and that’s the thing – the definition will be fluid), as enemies of the state, I feel certain, that wherever this political drama, with the effort to destroy Trump ends up, Democrats and the Left intend to expand well beyond just certain Republican politicians.
Sorry, I refuse to ever go along with the left’s culture war and spin word games. I have spent over 20 years trying to understand the Dems corrupt spin information war and expose the corruption, in any way I can. I am a law-abiding American citizen, who doesn’t even have a speeding ticket on my record, BUT…
I refuse to use or buy into the spin words they’re trying to cram down our throats. Period!
