The Steele dossier’s tawdry, absurd
and fake ‘sources’

Original Article

We’ve known for some time, thanks to the efforts of special counsel John Durham, that the Steele dossier was a Clinton-camp fabrication. Now we know why the allegations it contained were so lurid, clumsy and (to anyone with an iota of sense) obviously fake.A Wall Street Journal deep dive reveals that Steele’s central charges were based on idle gossip. Not from intel-community insiders with vast source networks. No: from a trio of unremarkable hacks with zero insight into covert affairs, whose only real connections were to Clinton World. What an embarrassment for the countless reporters and TV personalities who talked up this tawdry nonsense from total outsiders

FTA: Yet breathless scribes at The New York Times, The Washington Post, BuzzFeed, New York magazine and elsewhere hyped this nonsense for months, all taken in (most, willfully) by the equivalent of catty junior-high whisper campaigns. Some still can’t let go. Don't forget cnn and msDNC they were Trump collusion 24/7 365.

The absurd part of this hoax was the number of establishment Republicans who bought into this (or who were in on this) from the get go. Many RINOs were betting on President Trump being gone within a few months after inauguration. This was definitely a Deep State hit job probably planned after President Trump became the party nominee.

I don't think reporters and TV journalists are capable of being embarrassed. If they have any feelings about this, it is being PO'd that they were caught telling lies.

First, let's remember that the SOURCE of all this was a carefully laundered path of deception from HILLARY CLINTOON. Every time this criminal hack raises her boozy, ugly face, someone should whack-a-mole her into submission. Second, do not for one minute suppose that many of the government groups that used this information believed it was true. The Deep State used it as cover. For the Mueller farce. For the 2018 and 2020 elections. For 2 impeachments. For a drumbeat of other operations meant to off foot and block Trump. As long as the core lie could be maintained, it was a useful tool. The media played their part, publicly trusting in it unquestioningly, despite certain realization by many of them it was absurd and flimsy gossip. They angrily bristle when called "fake news". THIS is why they are accurately labeled as "FAKE". The same applies to numerous topics since BO was elected. The accurate default assumption about news from the media is "fake until proven otherwise". The interesting things coming out is how carefully the layers of deception were protected. Who provided the information was hidden. They were hacks who made stuff up. Where was the paper trail? It was first hidden with a layer of lawyers providing confidentiality. The lawyers then hired Steele, who hired the losers. Steele "forbidden him (Danchenko) to write notes" so there was nothing to find by investigators. The whole process was not only crafted to create disinformation, it was robustly tailored to be opaque to investigation and especially to avoid linkage to Hillary. If she had won the presidency, all of it would have been completely and permanently buried. Now her poop trail has been uncovered. "Russiagate, in short, was the scandal of a generation — a media and government one." Yes, AND a political one. Also mentioned and deserving of repetition is that BO was briefed on the Clintoon action. We can be sure that the actions taken by the agencies under his control to support and continue the lies were done with BO's awareness and tacit approval. The dems and media are neck deep in this Clintoon sewer.

We knew from day one that it was a fraud because it was out of character for Trump. But the dems convince themselves to believe fictions about their political opposition so they attach themselves to the wildest junk. Especially since much of the accusations seem real to them because they are doing it themselves. They create a fiction and accuse their opponent of it. Then justify their own actions because they aren't as bad as what the other guys are doing. And they forget that "what the other guys are doing" is a fiction they made up from scratch. And then when they get caught we hear the excuse "well everybody does it". No. We don't.

MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell wondered on her Thursday show that if the Supreme Court cares so little about precedent in Roe v. Wade, will it also overturn Brown v Board of Education. Because her guest was former Attorney General Eric Holder, nobody pointed out that Brown is the case conservatives cite to justify overturning longstanding precedents.Mitchell began by asking Holder about the leak of the draft opinion, “How unprecedented, first of all, is the leak? And the way they came down in terms of breaking president, precedent, ignoring stare decisis and deciding to completely overrule Roe v. Wade after 49 years.”

Former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman's inquiry into the 2020 presidential election has reportedly been halted amid several lawsuits over his investigation.While his investigation into the election is paused, Gableman's $11,000 monthly salary will be halved to $5,500, and he will receive a $2,500 monthly stipend to pay for rent, General Assembly Speaker Robin Vos announced Wednesday, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "Until we win those lawsuits, you know, we are pausing the investigation because it's not like we're going to keep looking into things we've already discovered," Vos, a Republican, said.

So long Jen Psaki!

White House press secretary Jen Psaki suggested Thursday that President Biden might visit the Korean Demilitarized Zone when he visits Seoul next week, after another series of ballistic missile launches from North Korea. 'We're still finalizing details of the schedule for the trip and what it looks like obviously that is a step that is taken by many who visit the region,' Psaki said when asked if Biden would visit the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). She added that U.S. intelligence officials believe that North Korea could be ready to begin a seventh nuclear test as early as this month.

Let it be known that the politicians of the Democrat Party in Washington are either evil or cowardly with the exception of one. Reports say that Democrats had brought Roe v Wade to the floor in order to codify it into law. The goal was to legalize abortion nationwide up until birth with what would be no limits. As you can imagine, every single Republican voted against this and they were joined by none other than West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin who had indicated that he’d vote against it earlier in the day. This resulted in Democrats being 11 votes shy of what they needed to pass Roe into law.

Months after distressed moms have been vocally upset and concerned about the baby formula shortage, the media is finally starting to ask, how could this happen? The short answer is lockdown supply chains and the shutdown of one of the country’s largest formula plants in Michigan (Snip) Freeman said her clients and industry contacts began noticing an FDA crackdown on European formulas in the last few years, before the lockdowns, but an even greater spike since last August, well before the Abbott recall and plant shutdown that many are pointing to as the source of the shortage.(Snip)In some ways, the FDA seems more concerned about labeling than the nutrients themselves.

This is the gargantuan black hole that lives at the centre of our galaxy, pictured for the very first time. Known as Sagittarius A*, the object is a staggering four million times the mass of our Sun. What you see is a central dark region where the hole resides, circled by the light coming from super-heated gas accelerated by immense gravitational forces. For scale, the ring is roughly the size of Mercury's orbit around our star. That's about 60 million km, or 40 million miles, across. Fortunately, this monster is a long, long way away - some 26,000 light-years in the distance - so there's no possibility of us ever coming to any danger.

As bad as Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg are, the idea of Hillary Clinton joining this foolish gaggle is similar to Revenge of the Sith when Emperor Palpatine sends Darth Vader to join the trade federation folks on Mustafar. Yes, the Trade Federation goons were misguided and corrupt, but they weren’t evil Sith lords. Hillary Clinton is the evil Sith Lord. (Seriously, didn’t you see this picture?) Star Wars references aside, Hillary Clinton was recently named as a possible contender for not-so-conservative Megan McCain’s temporary replacement.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) announced plans Wednesday to spend an additional $57 million on abortions for uninsured, out-of-state residents who travel to the state to have abortions because of restrictions on abortion in their own states. The announcement brings Newsom’s proposed spending on out-of-state abortion tourism to $125 million, over and above what he proposed in January. The new spending comes ahead of an anticipated decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade, the controversial 1973 ruling that established a “right” to abortion.
