I am like a broken record, I know. But when you are right, and desperate to fill up those time slots Ed Morrissey keeps assigning me to fill, you have to keep churning out the content. Besides, I think I churn out pretty darn good content that is worth reading. So there. In another of the long line of “The Narrative™” posts I give you this: I kid you not. FTX–the crypto-fraud firm that just collapsed–is the brainchild of Sam Bankman-Fried, the second largest Democrat donor in the country. He helped find Joe Biden’s campaign, contributing more than any other than our old friend George Soros.

It was apparently an internet troll that exploited the writer's confirmation bias.

I subscribed to Forbes many years ago and loved the publication. That’s when the Forbes family actually ran it. They turned squishy left and then ran a lot of celebrity puff pieces and I gave up. I didn’t realize the chicoms took it over.

The ChiComs bought Forbes years ago, and now run it. In the early 2000s I was flying out of Pueblo, Colorado in my own aircraft and as I taxied out for take off, in taxied a just landed Boeing 727 airliner with a very unusual paint job. The forward 2/3 was gold painted and the rear, engine nacelles and tail were a dark green. In huge letters down the fuselage side it proudly announced "Capitalist Tool". This was the Forbes executive jet, a very 'in your face' statement. Sadly, that is all gone. Malcolm is long dead, Steve has retired (still alive?) and the mag is a commy rag. I once met Steve Forbes, and heard him speak to a group of Republican businessmen. He at least said all the right things, but his political campaigns never really went anywhere, unfortunately.

Sam Bankman-Fried, the second largest donor in the country to the Democrats and his handpicked CEO are labeled as Conservatives by Time and Newsweek. You think they are alt-liberal Democrats? Are you going to believe Time and Newspeak or your lying eyes? Trying to make this fit the “Narrative” defies belief. The facts to support this do not exist.

That 2014 SCOTUS leak may never have happened 3 replies

We’re still hearing tales this month about a leak from the Supreme Court, but not the one from over the summer involving Roe. In case you missed the latest one, it involved a letter sent to Chief Justice John Roberts from Reverend Rob Schenck, an evangelical activist who claimed that he knew about the outcome of the 2014 case of Burwell v. Hobby Lobby. He claimed to have been told about the pending decision by a family friend of Justice Samuel Alito and his wife. The letter appears to be authentic, but the contents of it may not hold up under closer scrutiny. (CNN) A former evangelical activist claimed

In a stunning turn of events, The Walt Disney Co. says that Bob Chapek will step down as CEO, with Bob Iger returning to lead the company. “We thank Bob Chapek for his service to Disney over his long career, including navigating the company through the unprecedented challenges of the pandemic,” said Susan Arnold, Chairman of the Board. “The Board has concluded that as Disney embarks on an increasingly complex period of industry transformation, Bob Iger is uniquely situated to lead the Company through this pivotal period.”
Polling Contradicts Negative Nancy Narrative

One of the biggest oddities of the last election wasn’t that the polling was way off, leading to a surprise Republican victory. Instead, it was that the polling was largely correct, leading to a surprise Republican disappointment. Contrary to the impression most have of how the last mid-terms went, something of a red wave did appear. It just happened to be the most inefficient, badly spaced-out red wave in modern history, with Republicans winning the national popular vote for a few percentage points, just as the generic ballot polling average predicted. The failure in expectations (and to be sure, overall, the election was a disaster for Republicans) came elsewhere.

The suspect in the overnight mass shooting at an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs has been identified as Anderson Lee Aldrich. He was injured and is in custody after a total of five people were shot and killed and at least 17 people were hurt. He is 22 and police haven't released his photo. They also didn't share any motive for the shooting. "The motive of the crime is part of the investigation and whether this was a hate crime is part of that investigation," Colorado Springs Police Department Deputy Chief Adrian Vasquez said. At least two firearms were recovered at the scene, Vasquez said. The suspect used a rifle
Rivals Take Shots at Trump at Republican

Las Vegas, Nevada — Several possible presidential hopefuls took shots at former President Donald Trump on Friday evening and Saturday morning at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual leadership convention. Foremost among these was former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who likened Trump supporters to the John Birch Society and blamed Republican losses for high inflation and crime as he urged the party to dump Trump. Counting off the losses of Trump-backed candidates in several key midterm races, while omitting victories such as that of Sen.-elect J.D. Vance (R-OH), Christie said the GOP had to free itself from one-man rule to win again. Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was more subtle,

Billionaire and new Twitter owner Elon Musk tweeted a poll on Friday evening, asking if Twitter should finally reinstate former President Donald Trump. Musk added, “Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” Latin for “the voice of the people is the voice of God.” Trump responded to the poll on his TruthSocial platform on Saturday. He messaged a screenshot of the Twitter poll showing that 52% of respondents wanted him back on Twitter with the comment, “Vote now with positivity, but don’t worry, we aren’t going anywhere. Truth Social is special!”

CBS News has stopped using its Twitter account for the foreseeable future. The network claims it stopped using its account to “monitor” the situation at Twitter after Elon Musk’s takeover. “In light of the uncertainty around Twitter and out of an abundance of caution, CBS News is pausing its activity on the social media site as it continues to monitor the platform,” Jonathan Vigliotti, CBS News national correspondent, said according to a report from NBC News Saturday. The move follows ad suspensions from several major companies in protest of Musk’s changes to the platform’s content moderation policy,

Conservative Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito on Saturday strenuously denied any involvement in leaking the outcome of a 2014 ruling in a lengthy statement issued in response to a New York Times report. The Times story said that former anti-abortion campaigner Rev. Rob Schenck found out about the outcome of the Burwell v. Hobby Lobby ruling before the decision was issued in June 2014. The 5-4 ruling in a case closely watched by conservatives allowed privately-held companies to object on religious grounds to a provision of the Obamacare law that requires employers to provide health insurance that includes contraception coverage.

The Texas Tribune and Army Times obtained a planning document that shows Vietnam-era M113 armored personnel carriers will be sent to 10 locations along the Texas-Mexico border. An order was issued by the Texas Military Department on Thursday that states the Texas Guard will deploy the military vehicles and 50 soldiers will be trained to operate them. This move by Governor Abbott is further escalation of his response to the Biden border crisis. After 18 months of Operation Lone Star with $4B from Texas taxpayers spent to finance its mission, the flood of illegal immigrants continues into Texas. Abbott tweeted about invoking the invasion clause

Why Did the DOJ Lie About the Paul Pelosi Attack? 15 replies
Posted by Dreadnought 11/19/2022 11:03:46 AM Post Reply
The attack on Paul Pelosi, outgoing Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s husband, has largely receded into the background of the news cycle. Weeks before the 2022 mid-terms, though, it burst into the national consciousness and was quickly presented as another marker of just how dangerous “right-wing extremism” is. It didn’t matter that the attacker was a nudist protester who lived in a leftwing commune adorned with Black Lives Matter and LGBT effects. The fact that he had allegedly dabbled in some alt-right materials online was enough to hang him on Republicans and Republicans alone. Of course, the truth is often more boring

Is Facebook secretly giving the FBI user information in violation of the the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986? Maybe, according to FBI director Christopher Ray. He can’t say for sure. Oh. Really? The allegations that the FBI is doing a lot of shady things are not exactly new, although they are only sporadically covered in the MSM. After all, the MSM likes censorship–as long as it isn’t censorship of themselves. So if the FBI is helping censor us bad people, that is probably a good thing. Hell, the MSM didn’t even mind when one of their own was called a spy and had his phone records

FDA Says Telling People Not to Take Ivermectin

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) telling people to “stop” taking ivermectin for COVID-19 was informal and just a recommendation, government lawyers argued during a recent hearing. “The cited statements were not directives. They were not mandatory. They were recommendations. They said what parties should do. They said, for example, why you should not take ivermectin to treat COVID-19. They did not say you may not do it, you must not do it. They did not say it’s prohibited or it’s unlawful. They also did not say that doctors may not prescribe ivermectin,” Isaac Belfer, one of the lawyers, told the court during the Nov. 1 hearing in federal court

Former U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan said on a Sunday morning news program that he is a "never-again-Trumper" and that Donald Trump is "unelectable." Ryan, a Republican who represented Wisconsin's 1st Congressional District for 20 years, was speaker of the House from 2015 to 2019. He told correspondent Jonathan Karl on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos" in the wake of Trump's announced run that Republicans would lose if they backed Trump for president in 2024. “We get past Trump, we start winning elections. We stick with Trump, we keep losing elections. That’s just how I see it," Ryan said.

Hunter Biden’s daughter, Naomi Biden, got married at the White House on Saturday. According to reports, Joe Biden is expected to pay a minimum of $300,000 out-of-pocket for his granddaughter’s wedding. No press was allowed because Joe Biden said the wedding was a “private” event. (Tweet) Naomi Biden married Peter Neal, a former Hillary Clinton campaign intern, in front of 250 guests at the White House. Joe Biden is turning 80 on Sunday so his granddaughter’s wedding celebration this weekend worked as a cover to distract from the media focusing on his old age.

Arizona Assistant Attorney General Jennifer Wright — with the Elections Integrity Unit — wrote a letter to the Maricopa County officials Saturday demanding an accounting for the widespread ballot tabulation and ballot printer problems seen during the general election on Nov. 8. Among the most troubling issues raised in the letter directed to Thomas Liddy with the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office was the apparent co-mingling of ballots in black duffle bags in at least one polling location, which were successfully run through the on-site tabulators with those put in “Door 3” to be sent to the Election Department’s downtown Phoenix tabulation center because they could not be read.

In what looks like an act of sheer desperation, President Biden is offering Americans a $20 discount on groceries at CVS, Safeway, Winn-Dixie, or Rite Aid this winter if they will go out and get an Omicron-specific COVID booster. (Video) Biden received an updated booster shot for COVID three weeks ago and sent out a message beseeching Americans to do the same, according to the Daily Mail. Most of the country proceeded to ignore the warning, having moved past the pandemic and on to other more pressing emergencies such as roaring inflation.

A 22-year-old man was taken into police custody early Sunday morning after two heroic clubgoers tackled him to the ground to stop him from firing more rounds at a gay nightclub. Five people died in the shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs Saturday night, and 18 others were injured. Authorities say Anderson Lee Aldrich entered the gay club just before midnight and fired an unknown number of bullets from his AR-15-style long rifle before he was stopped by at least two 'heroic' patrons. Early reports suggest the gunman was wearing bulletproof armor at the time.

Eric Swalwell, Adam Schiff and Ilhan Omar from their congressional committees when Republicans retake control in the new Congress. During an appearance on Fox News’ "Sunday Morning Futures," McCarthy told anchor Maria Bartiromo that he will keep the promise he made in January to remove Swalwell and Schiff from the House Intelligence Committee and Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee. McCarthy said Swalwell's association with a Chinese spy, Schiff’s promotion of the Steele dossier and Omar’s criticism of Israel disqualify them from serving on their respective panels.

One elder, retired Philly resident said he will keep his house at 50 to 55 and won’t turn the heat on until his “teeth chatter” in an effort to ration his oil because filling his tank costs $1,500.
