Off the record: Obama reportedly blamed
Comey, Bill and Hillary Clinton for Trump’s
2016 victory
Posted By: Imright, 10/1/2022 4:51:32 PM
In what must be a stitch in former President Barack Obama’s side, a Freedom of Information request was granted and Bloomberg received a cache of documents from the Justice Department. Among them was an off-the-record transcript of Obama in a roundtable conversation with progressive opinion journalists on Jan 17, 2017, just 3 days before he left office. As Bloomberg’s Jason Leopold reported, Obama referred to the 2016 election loss during the discussion and wondered about what might have been if only Bill and Hillary had made “different decisions.” Interestingly, Leopold notes that he hadn’t asked for this transcript specifically.

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which is still led by Dr. Anthony Fauci, issued a $3.3 million grant to a research organization run by Fauci's close friend.
The new study will investigate bats and other coronaviruses in the wild and will run until August 2027.
The organization conducting the study, EcoHealth Alliance, is run by Peter Daszak, who is known to be close to Fauci.
In the summer of 2021, emails between Fauci and Daszak leaked. In one, Daszak appeared to express gratitude to Fauci for downplaying the theory that Covid-19 was created in a lab in Wuhan, China.

After months of tweets and teases, Elon Musk is attempting to manage expectations ahead of Tesla’s AI Day tonight.
The tech company's humanoid Optimus robot - teased at last year's artificial intelligence event by a person in a spandex costume - will be the star of the show.
Tesla on Friday morning shared a short clip of a pair of robotic hands making a heart shape. 'The hands of Optimus. That is not CGI,' the mogul tweeted in the afternoon.
Musk said that people can expect ‘lots of technical detail and cool hardware demos’ at the Palo Alto, California event that’s being livestreamed beginning at 6:15 pm Pacific Time.
Thirty-four US political prisoners of the Biden regime penned a very sad letter this week requesting a transfer to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba facility where they would receive meals, sunlight, freedom of religion, exercise, entertainment, and be treated like human beings.
These thirty-four January 6 political prisoners have been held for over a year and a half without trial for misdemeanors and trumped-up felony charges.
This group of men have been isolated, beaten viciously, abused, threatened, tormented, and belittled by the guards based on their political and religious
Scores of Venezuelan migrants in New York City are hopping on vans to head down to Florida for Hurricane Ian clean-up, they told The Post.
The migrants had scant information about who they would be working for, but they still piled into vans in Queens that they said were headed to the Sunshine State over the weekend.
“They want us for hurricane cleanup, we’d get paid $15 an hour, overtime and $15 for food daily, I think,” said Javier Moreno, 37, noting that a woman named Camila “from an organization” approached him with a flier.
A guest on your show accuses his political opponent of being as dangerous to children as a mass murderer with an AR-15. Surely, you challenge your guest for his outrageous slander.
Or not—if you're Jonathan Capehart.
On his MSNBC Sunday show, Capehart had on Beto O'Rourke. After losing to Ted Cruz in a senatorial run, then flaming out early in the 2020 Democrat presidential primary, O'Rourke is poised to make it a trifecta of failures, as he trails Gov. Greg Abbott badly in the Texas gubernatorial race.
Given the current political realities in the United States and Canada, this report should surprise no sane person paying a modicum of attention to the attack on personal freedom in both countries. Still, it’s chilling as hell that Communist China continues to compromise territorial integrity around the world.
As reported by The New York Post, China has opened dozens of “overseas police service stations” around the world to monitor its citizens living abroad, including one location in New York City and three in Toronto. Never-learning Europe is home to most of the police stations, including locations in London, Amsterdam, Prague, Budapest, Paris, Madrid, and Frankfurt.
WASHINGTON--In a rare softening of hostile relations, Venezuela has freed seven imprisoned Americans in exchange for the United States releasing two nephews of President Nicolás Maduro's wife who had been jailed for years on drug smuggling conspiracy convictions, the White House said Saturday.
"Today, after years of being wrongfully detained in Venezuela, we are bringing home Jorge Toledo, Tomeu Vadell, Alirio Zambrano, Jose Luis Zambrano, Jose Pereira, Matthew Heath, and Osman Khan. These individuals will soon be reunited with their families and back in the arms of their loved ones where they belong," President Joe Biden said in a statement.

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla) and First Lady Casey DeSantis are praising the help his state has received following the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Ian. In just 48 hours, the state of Florida raised more than $20 million to go toward its Florida Disaster Fund.
From more than 52 different corporations and individuals such as Tom Brady, David Rubin, and Rumble, First Lady DeSantis says the money shows how loyal people are to Florida.

For months now, former President Trump has hinted at a potential White House run in 2024, and for months Americans have held their breath waiting for the announcement.
In an interview with CBS News, Kellyanne Conway, who managed Trump’s 2016 campaign, said that the former president may make his announcement before Thanksgiving.
Trump will “assess the timing of his announcement,” Conway said, adding, “I think before the end of this year.”
Conway said that Trump is as “active as anybody” else in the midterm elections, already building support from Americans by rallying in several states throughout the country.

Hundreds of thousands of people were stuck without power and other basic needs days after Hurricane Ian ripped through Florida, as recovery from the deadly storm was estimated to easily cost billions of dollars.
First responders were going door-to-door in search of survivors or bodies of people who perished from the Category 4 storm’s whipping winds that topped 150 mph and pounding rain that caused massive flooding.
The storm was believed to have killed at least 73 people in the Sunshine State, with another four deaths in North Carolina,
Russian media has shown a chilling sequence of mushroom clouds 'in anticipation of nuclear conflict' amid calls for Putin to 'take drastic measures' to win in Ukraine.
Sinister footage aired by NTV highlighted nuclear explosions and the 'Armageddon' aftermath.
The slavish channel is owned by the media wing of Gazprom, the Kremlin-obedient energy giant which is now starving the West of Russian gas for the coming winter.
The sequence was titled: 'In anticipation of nuclear conflict - how weapons of mass destruction have become part of the geopolitical game.'

Rep. Mark Pocan, a Wisconsin Democrat, is pushing legislation that would establish a national museum of American LGBTQ+ History and Culture in the nation’s capital. The lawmaker has filed bills that would establish a commission to study the potential creation of the museum and house it within the Smithsonian Institution. The eight-member commission would have 18 months to study the viability of creating and constructing the museum in Washington. Mr. Pocan, who is gay, said the LGBT community must be able to tell its stories.
“As our community faces unprecedented attacks and attempts to erase our history, we must preserve and protect our stories for future generations,”
Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed a law Friday that will decriminalize jaywalking across California, ending the familiar practice of police handing out tickets to pedestrians on the argument that the law is enforced more often against minorities than other people. The new law, AB 2147, known as the “Freedom to Walk Act,” could bring an end to a cultural difference that has marked otherwise libertine Californians as being uniquely deferential to laws governing pedestrian traffic. The difference between Californians, who ostensibly tend to obey “don’t walk” signals, and urban dwellers elsewhere in the country, who are notoriously defiant when it comes to crossing against traffic signals, was lampooned

Republicans abandon Obamacare repeal
22 replies
WASHINGTON — Republicans are abandoning their long crusade to repeal the Affordable Care Act, making the 2022 election the first in more than a decade that won’t be fought over whether to protect or undo President Barack Obama’s signature achievement.
The diminished appetite for repeal means the law — which has extended health care coverage to millions of people and survived numerous near-death experiences in Congress and the courts — now appears safer than ever.
With slightly more than a month before the next election, Republicans in Congress and on the campaign trail aren’t making an issue of Obamacare.
The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is still missing Trump administration records that it sought after the former president's term ended, the agency said in a letter on Friday. 'The National Archives has confirmed to the Oversight Committee that they still have not received all presidential records from the Trump White House,' Acting Archivist Debra Steidel Wall said. Wall said the Department of Justice (DOJ) would be consulted about whether 'to initiate an action for the recovery of records unlawfully removed' by White House officials. Further information about what action could be taken remains unclear, but the DoJ's warning raises the specter of another potential raid
German Federal Economy Minister Robert Habeck expressed concern over the looming energy crisis this winter, telling German media that the situation was extremely tense and there is a possibility that Germany may run out of gas. Habeck spoke on Friday, appealing to Germans to reduce their consumption of natural gas ahead of this winter a day after the German government launched a new price break programme to help Germans with the rising costs of energy. The new price break policy will cover 80 per cent of regular consumption in a bid to try and get Germans to use less gas and make the scenario of shortages less likely.
Sen. Lindsey Graham is urging Joe Biden to consider a nuclear attack on Ukraine as an attack on NATO — even though they are not a member of the alliance.
Graham, who has seemingly never met a war he didn’t like, called for the US to do more to defend Ukraine during an interview on Fox News. "Sir, I’d be remiss if I didn’t ask you about world events and a lot going on in Russia. Now you’ve got Vladimir Putin and it’s in four different regions now in Ukraine. I want to just play this soundbite from the president a bit earlier and then get you

There’s always some mystery in the news that provides a blank page for fantasy thinking. This week’s mystery has initiated a storm of speculation: What happened to cause leaks in Russia’s Nord Stream 1 and 2, designed to send gas to Germany? The speculation runs from rational to delusional.
A good example of more rational speculation is by Jed Babbin at the Spectator: He thinks Russia is the most likely suspect:
Germany, Sweden, the United States, and other NATO nations would not have attacked the pipelines. There has been some speculation among U.S. conservatives that we were responsible for the pipeline attacks.
LONDON — King Charles III has decided not to attend the international climate change summit in Egypt next month, fueling speculation that the new monarch will have to rein in his environmental activism now that he has ascended the throne.
The Sunday Times newspaper reported that the decision came after Conservative Prime Minister Liz Truss objected to Charles attending the conference, known as COP27, when she met with the king last month at Buckingham Palace.
But a member of Truss' Cabinet said the government and palace were in agreement about the decision.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's criticism of 'open borders' could be a sign that she's looking to mount a third presidential campaign, a former adviser to her husband speculated on Sunday.
Dick Morris, who had worked for Bill Clinton and now advises Donald Trump, believes Clinton sees an opening for a 'moderate' 2024 candidate.
'Hillary is just dusting off Bill‘s playbook that I wrote for him and applying it herself this year,' Morris told radio host John Catsimatidis of Cat's Roundtable on WABC.

Former President Jimmy Carter turned 98 on Saturday and celebrated in Plains, Georgia — where he was born in 1924, while Calvin Coolidge was in office.
Carter, who has lived longer than any other president in US history, marked the occasion with his family, including wife Rosalynn, 95. He attended a parade in Plains and watched from a wheelchair.
A picture posted by the Carter Center showed Carter smiling and observing the parade from a wheelchair.
That evening, he was likely to watch his favorite team, the Atlanta Braves, on television as they battled for the top spot in the National League East, his grandson said.
