Report Be Made Public
Posted By: earlybird, 8/19/2021 4:13:42 PM
The pending report from special counsel John Durham, who was tasked with investigating the origins of the FBI’s Trump-Russia probe, should be released to the public, demanded Senate Republicans in a letter this week. More than 40 GOP senators, including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), signed a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland asking that Durham, a former U.S. attorney, should be allowed to continue his investigation and his report released to the public. There have been questions about whether Durham’s investigation will lack funding past the end of the federal government’s fiscal year on Sept. 30.

Besides being a black woman at a time when the Biden administration is publicly committed to appointing a disproportionate number of black women, economist Lisa D. Cook’s prime qualification for her nomination to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve is a celebrated paper on black inventors. Her work raises one of the more troubling issues in political philosophy.
While most economists are agreed that the capitalist system generates more wealth than any other, what if capitalism can never generate what is now called “equity”: equal outcomes by race and sex?
What if—no matter how thoroughly any and all discrimination, abuse, and unfairness is rooted out of the capitalist system—blacks and

ad takes on Lia Thomas, ‘men pretending
to be women’ 9 replies
Transgender swimmer Lia Thomas is beating the female competition in the pool, but she may also be boosting the GOP’s chances of winning in November at the ballot box.
Rep. Vicky Hartzler, a candidate for the Republican Senate nomination in Missouri, released an ad Monday criticizing the participation of Thomas and other male-born athletes in girls’ and women in competitive sports.“Meet William Thomas, ranked #462 in men’s swimming. Meet Lia Thomas, ranked #1 in women’s swimming. Only one problem: It’s the same person,” said Ms. Hartzler in the 30-second spot called “Coach.”

The Drudge Report spent yesterday saying war being imminent in Ukraine.
Nancy Pelosi said, "We think that an assault on Ukraine is an assault on democracy."
No, having one of your Palace Guards kill an unarmed protester in cold blood is a real threat to our constitutional republic.
She also said, "We understand the loss of life, the damage, the collateral damage to civilians, to military and the rest are severe if he decides to invade."
Good, she can send her son Paul Jr. and Biden can send Hunter to spill their blood.
Ottawa police chief Peter Sloly resigned from his position Tuesday, multiple reports confirmed, after weeks of continued protests against Wuhan coronavirus restrictions by Freedom Convoy truckers, a day after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked emergency powers.
Sloly, criticised by many opposed to the Freedom Convoy protests over his handling of the situation in downtown Ottawa, resigned Tuesday after alleged conflicts with colleagues in the Ottawa Police Service as well as conflicts with members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP).
Sources, according to a report from Canadian broadcaster CBC, indicated that Sloly had a short temper and berated senior police officials. He allegedly raised his voice
Russia Claims Ukraine Standoff Is Over

The Russian government claimed on Tuesday that several military units have completed “scheduled drills” along border with Ukraine and will now return to their permanent bases, bringing their armor and artillery with them.
Russian officials taunted the Biden administration by claiming the redeployment “humiliated” Western war hysterics, while Ukrainian and NATO military officials said they did not see any immediate sign of Russian forces actually pulling back from the border.
Russia’s state-run Tass news agency quoted Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov’s claim that Russian troops were packing their gear and preparing to depart on Wednesday morning.
Ottawa’s police chief Peter Sloly has resigned, according to a tweet by an Ottawa city councillor.
Riley Brockington says the official announcement will be made by the Police Services Board after a meeting that’s closed to the public.
Ottawa’s police board said it would hold a public meeting to address the matter today at 2:30 p.m.
The news comes amid the ongoing protests in Ottawa against the government’s COVID-19 mandates.
Prior to becoming chief of the Ottawa Police Service, Sloly was a partner at Deloitte, as well as deputy chief with the Toronto Police Service.
Just four days after the Republican-controlled Kansas legislature approved the state’s 2022 congressional reapportionment map, Democrats are asking a county court to strike it down.
The complaint was filed on Feb. 14 in Wyandotte County District Court by attorneys from the Grissom Miller Law Firm of Kansas City, Missouri, and the Elias Law Group of Washington D.C. on behalf of several Kansas residents and activist group Loud Light.
The Elias Law Group is headed by Democrat election lawyer and strategist Marc Elias, who served as attorney for presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Elias is widely credited for engineering election law changes in key swing states that helped Democrats in the 2020 election,
Brian Laundrie’s full autopsy and forensic reports (pdf) were released by the District Twelve Medical Examiner Monday in Florida on Monday, providing more details about the circumstances around his death.
The report included details about the 23-year-old’s belongings, which were found in plain sight along a trail in the Carlton Reserve near North Port, Florida. The water line that was seen on nearby trees was evidence that approximately 3 feet of water previously kept Laundrie’s remains hidden from view from officials.
Investigators also used a metal detector to discover a projectile embedded in the ground about 50 feet from where Laundrie’s skull fragments were located, according to the report. They also found
Beyond the blockbuster news from Friday’s special counsel filing in the Spygate investigation, there were several additional interesting points of note, especially when the motion is read against information previously known. Here are eight assorted such items.
1. Was Joffe Using a Pretext to Surveil Trump?
In the motion, the special counsel’s office stressed that Rodney Joffe’s internet company “had come to access and maintain dedicated servers for the EOP [Executive Office of the President of the United States] as part of a sensitive arrangement whereby it provided DNS resolution services to the EOP.”This fact proves fascinating when read against the Michael Sussmann indictment that explained why Joffe had provided the Georgia
New filings from Special Counsel John Durham on Friday revealed that Hillary Clinton’s campaign lawyers paid a tech company to “infiltrate” servers at Trump Tower and access private information that could be used against the Republican candidate by the Democrats, corporate press, and even the federal government.(snip)While Sussmann and especially Elias remain loyal to Clinton and refuse to budge over her scandalous attempts to secure the presidency, other prominent Clinton allies have moved on to the Biden administration.
President Joe Biden’s national security adviser Jake Sullivan was another key player in promoting the Russian collusion hoax, and he should be fired for scamming Americans on Clinton’s behalf.
Enemies of Donald Trump surveilled the internet traffic at Trump Tower, at his New York City apartment building, and later at the executive office of the president of the United States, then fed disinformation about that traffic to intelligence agencies hoping to frame Trump as a Russia-connected stooge.
A tangential filing on Friday in the criminal case against former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann revealed these new details uncovered by Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation. (snip) During Sussmann’s September 19, 2016 meeting with Baker, Sussmann allegedly provided the FBI general counsel information that purported to show the existence of a secret communication channel
A federal judge on Feb. 12 blocked a key climate initiative that was signed by President Joe Biden on his first day in office last year.
U.S. District Judge James Cain blocked the president’s January 2021 executive order that would factor in an alleged “social cost” for emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide when policymakers create rules.
“The Court agrees that the public interest and balance of equities weigh heavily in favor of granting a preliminary injunction,” Cain wrote(snip)
Biden’s order, the judge added, “will harm Plaintiff States’ ability to purchase affordable energy to carry out their sovereign functions”

SMETHPORT, Pa. — Some Democrats here in rural Pennsylvania are afraid to tell you they’re Democrats. The party’s brand is so toxic in the small towns 100 miles northeast of Pittsburgh that some liberals have removed bumper stickers and yard signs and refuse to acknowledge their party affiliation publicly. These Democrats are used to being outnumbered by the local Republican majority, but as their numbers continue to dwindle, the few that remain are feeling increasingly isolated and unwelcome in their own communities. “The hatred for Democrats is just unbelievable,” said Tim Holohan, an accountant based in rural McKean County who
Experts are warning that an increase in buried bodies as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic could be having an impact in the environment. In the U.S. alone, the number of people who have died with COVID-19 exceeded 900,000 this month and the number is increasing all the time.
Around the world, the death toll is over 5.8 million according to the World Health Organization (WHO), though some estimates of excess mortality—a measure comparing all deaths recorded with those expected to occur—have put that figure close to 20 million.
What this means is that burial facilities have faced unprecedented pressure as they attempt to allocate space and resources to store the bodies
The Canadian government is issuing warnings to anyone involved in the massive anti-mandate protests, saying that in addition to freezing bank accounts and towing their trucks, they can confiscate pets as well.

After 8 days, if arrangements are not made, your animal will be considered relinquished.” According to tweet, the law applied to animals that were left without
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has admitted soaring US inflation is 'not acceptable'—then insisted the American economy would be even worse were it not for the very spending by the Biden administration that has been blamed for soaring prices. Speaking to AFP, Yellen said of the rise in cost of living—which hit 7.5 per cent last month: 'Inflation is clearly a great concern to Americans, and it really needs to be addressed. 'Certainly it's not acceptable to stay at current levels.' Her words were in marked contrast to Joe Biden's, who has repeatedly insisted that surging inflation figures are 'elevated,' and a temporary phenomenon. Yellen—who is America's first female
Hillary Clinton claimed accusations her campaign spied on Donald Trump are a 'conspiracy' tied to his mounting legal issues and slammed Republicans for backing 'coup plotters' and pushing the 'big lie' in her major comeback speech in New York on Thursday. 'We can't get distracted, whether it's by the latest culture war nonsense, or some new right wing lie on Fox or Facebook - by the way they've been coming after me again lately in case you might have noticed,' Clinton told the New York Democratic Convention in response to special counsel John Durham's filing over on Friday. 'It's funny, the more trouble Trump gets into
Although it’s impossible to predict economic crashes with certainty, a key economic indicator suggests the U.S. housing market is on the verge of an unprecedented crash, one that could end up being the biggest in America’s history.
Following the 2008 stock and real estate market crashes, the Federal Reserve, Democratic-led Congress, and the presidential administrations of George W. Bush and Barack Obama began an unprecedented effort to pump new dollars into the financial system — and, to a lesser extent, the economy at large.
The strategy behind the flood of quantitative easing, government takeovers, stimulus checks, and government welfare programs that followed
CHAMPAIGN — Albert Morr and his wife, Claudia, disturbed by a recent shootout in their University Avenue neighborhood, went to Tuesday evening’s Champaign City Council meeting expecting sympathy and hoping for help. What they received instead — from council members Alicia Beck and Michael Foellmer — was a lecture on their moral failings and advice to keep their thoughts to themselves until they change
Republicans are expressing fury over allegations Hillary Clinton operatives paid a contractor to spy on former President Donald Trump during his 2016 campaign and into his presidency.They are calling it the “biggest crime in U.S. history” while demanding “a total clean out of the political class in Washington.”Taking to social media, Republican lawmakers offered critical reactions, with Trump calling the scandal “worse than Watergate,” after Special Counsel John Durham filed a motion in federal court in Washington D.C. on Friday alleging Hillary Clinton’s political allies paid a contractor to spy on the former president — both as a candidate, and as president.
A new study is casting doubt on the climate benefits of using ethanol as a fuel, finding that it may actually contribute more to global warming than gasoline.
Researchers found that emissions from changes in land use to account for the growing demand for corn make corn-based ethanol no cleaner than gasoline.
In fact, they determined that these changes likely make ethanol’s emissions at least 24 percent higher than those for gasoline, according to their study, which was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
A 2005 law established what’s known as the “Renewable Fuel Standard” requiring a certain quantity of biofuels, a category that includes ethanol,
After previously dodging questions about the bombshell revelations in Special Counsel John Durham’s latest filing, Hillary Clinton has finally gone on record to respond. According to the twice-failed presidential candidate, Donald Trump and Fox News are “desperately spinning up a fake scandal to distract from his real ones.”
According to a motion filed Friday by Special Counsel John Durham, lawyers for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign allegedly paid a technology company to “infiltrate” servers that belonged to Trump Tower and, later, the Trump White House “for the purpose of gathering derogatory information about Donald Trump.”
“Trump & Fox are desperately spinning up a fake scandal to distract from his real ones.
The founder of Project Veritas is demanding answers from the FDA after one of his undercover reporters allegedly caught an organization executive on camera saying Covid boosters would become annual requirements and that the Biden administration has financial incentives for pushing the vaccine.‘There are serious ethical issues,' James O'Keefe told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Wednesday night, blasting the federal organization as being borderline corrupt.'When you have the government getting money from the people they are supposed to be regulating
The midterm elections are still 10 months away but Democrats in Congress have been panicking about their prospects.
They aren’t good. The voters are exhausted by COVID restrictions, worried about inflation, and uncertain that the president is up to the task of governing.
When politicians get into trouble, the first thing they think about is how to throw money at the voters to distract them from their problems. Accordingly, Democrats in Congress are looking to ease the high cost of gas at the pump by suspending the 18-cent-a-gallon federal gas tax.
