Bob Woodward says WaPo reporters ignored
his Steele dossier warnings: report
Posted By: Imright, 2/1/2023 7:06:08 PM
Veteran Watergate journalist Bob Woodward says he tried to warn Washington Post reporters about the infamous, discredited “Steele dossier” when the RussiaGate coverage first took off — but they weren’t interested, a new report says. Woodward was among those interviewed for a lengthy Columbia Journalism Review report published this week about the media’s handling of the unproven allegations that Trump colluded with Russia amid the 2016 election. In the interview, the 79-year-old reporter — famous for breaking the Nixon White House scandal for the outlet in the early ’70s — recalled how he was quick to slam the largely-discredited Trump dossier

Former President Donald Trump introduced a new defense policy plan for his 2024 campaign this week, promising to build "a state-of-the-art, next-generation missile defense shield" to protect the U.S. from hypersonic missiles.
"Just as Israel is now protected by the Iron Dome, a dream once thought impossible, America must have an impenetrable dome to protect our people," Trump said. "We have technology that is unsurpassed, but our past leaders haven't really wanted to use it."
"Just as I rebuilt our military, especially our nuclear capabilities, I will build a shield to defend America from missile attack. We will have peace through strength."
Republican lawmakers indicated to DailyMail.com on Thursday that they're unperturbed by the aggressive new strategy rolled out by Hunter Biden's legal team to combat a litany of inquiries into his foreign business dealings.
It comes after his attorney, Abbe Lowell, wrote to the Justice Department calling for investigations into Rudy Giuliani and Donald Trump's former adviser Steve Bannon, as well as former computer repair store owner John Paul Mac Isaac.'
Lowell accuses them of having 'violated various Delaware laws in accessing, copying, manipulating, and/or disseminating Mr. Biden's personal computer data' with the regards to the laptop hard drive at the center of a firestorm of controversy

The tide appears to be turning in the conservative movement, and the hunger to finally go on offense might well be answered with a Republican president in 2025.
Institutional barriers have been built by the administrative state for decades, safeguarding the permanency of bureaucratic power against the goals of any elected president — but conservative ones in particular.
While Republicans have historically been the party of small government, as Spencer Chretien, associate director of the Heritage Foundation’s 2025 Presidential Transition Project, told Breitbart News, “One thing conservatives need to wrap their head around is the fact that we need to use the levers of government
On Thursday morning, NBC’s Today rediscovered Hunter Biden’s “much talked about laptop” (which in and of itself is comical for a liberal outlet to assert) in order to trumpet Hunter’s “aggressive new legal strategy” to force his father’s Justice Department and allies in Delaware law enforcement to open criminal investigations of those that shared and promoted its contents, which resulted in “a series of salacious and frankly damaging media stories”.
On Thursday, a Chinese spy balloon was spotted over Montana.
“US detects suspected Chinese surveillance balloon hovering over northern U.S. for days,” reported Upward News.
The Pentagon released the following statement: “The United States government has detected and is tracking a high-altitude surveillance balloon that is over the continental United States right now.”
“The balloon was spotted over Billings, Montana, on Wednesday. A senior defense official says the balloon is still over the U.S. but declined to say where it is now,” NBC reported. The spy balloon is the size of three school buses.
Tensions on the set of “CNN This Morning” have recently boiled over, with Don Lemon allegedly “screaming” at co-host Kaitlan Collins off-camera during an ugly December incident that has left the cast and crew rattled ever since, The Post has learned.
According to two sources with knowledge of the situation, the 56-year-old Lemon approached 30-year-old Collins following the show’s Thursday Dec. 8 broadcast — and unloaded on her in front of staffers as he accused her of “interrupting” him on air.
“Don screamed at Kaitlan, who was visibly upset and ran out of the studio,” one source with knowledge of the skrimish said.
House Republicans on Thursday voted to kick Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee over her anti-Semitic comments in chaotic scenes in Congress.
Democrats screamed 'no' before the GOP completed Speaker Kevin McCarthy's bid to get the Squad member removed over past comments comparing Israel to Hamas and the Taliban and saying the relationship between the Jewish state and the U.S. is 'all about the Benjamins' in 2019.
'She described 9/11 by saying "some people did something",' McCarthy said when explaining why he wanted to boot her from the committee in a press conference after she was kicked off
Days before Secretary of State Antony Blinken is scheduled to arrive in Beijing on Sunday, Communist China President Xi Jinping disrespected Blinken and Joe Biden by sending a giant spy balloon over the Northwest United States this week where it was spotted by a civilian on Wednesday and caused the Billings airport to shut down for several hours.(Photo/Tweet) Video shot Wednesday by Montana resident John Martin: (Tweet/Video) Martin followed-up by noting the Billing airport was shut down for about two hours Wednesday:

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) spoke out against a House resolution that would condemn the “horrors of socialism,” arguing that it is a “fraudulent” resolution that would “undermine” House Democrats’ agenda.
Cuban-American Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL) introduced the anti-Socialism resolution, a symbolic move that declares the country “founded on the belief in the sanctity of the individual, to which the collectivistic system of socialism in all of its forms is fundamentally and necessarily opposed.”
The text of the resolution notes that “many of the greatest crimes in history”
First son Hunter Biden wants to duck responsibility for his own wrongdoing by sicking Delaware and federal law enforcement on the computer repair shop owner who blew the whistle on the infamous “laptop from hell,” a lawyer for John Paul Mac Isaac told The Post Thursday.
Mac Isaac, who owned The Mac Shop in Wilmington, Del., was accused by Hunter’s lawyer of “unlawfully” accessing the now-52-year-old’s personal data after the laptop was abandoned at his store in 2019.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Fascist) melted down on the House floor Thursday after antisemitic Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Jew Hater) was denied a spot on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
Omar’s hatred of Israel and Jewish people in particular has been on permanent display the entire time she’s been in the House. Omar also loathes America, so it makes little sense to have someone so full of hate for Western Civilization in general on a vital committee.
After the vote came down along party lines — 218 to 211 —to deny Omar the seat, Omar’s fellow “Squad” member, AOC, put on a hysterical performance full of volume but little truth or insight: (Tweet/Video)
House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky. is investigating Special Presidential Envoy for Climate (SPEC) John Kerry for his role in the Biden Administration and for his secretive negotiations with the Chinese Communist Party to combat climate change. Kerry’s cabinet-level role of “climate envoy” was created by President Joe Biden soon after his 2021 inauguration, and although the position doesn’t require Senate approval, the SPEC office has an estimated $13.9 million budget and approval for a staff of 45.

President Joe Biden extended an olive branch to Speaker Kevin McCarthy at the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday, sitting next to him at the event for Democrats and Republicans.
Biden, who is facing investigations from GOP lawmakers who are targeting his administration and his son Hunter, also implored the members of Congress to treat each other with respect, saying he and the speaker would model that behavior.
His comments came after he met with McCarthy at the White House on Wednesday to discuss a way to raise the nation's debt ceiling.
Hunter Biden is going on the offense with his lawyers now asking the Justice Department to investigate former President Donald Trump's allies, who peddled his laptop's hard drive to media outlets in the run-up to the 2020 election.
The first son's lawyer Abbe Lowell asked the DOJ to probe former Trump strategist Steve Bannon, campaign lawyer and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Giuliani's lawyer and the owner of the Wilmington computer repair shop, John Paul Mac Isaac, who obtained the laptop in April 2019.
Joe Biden on Thursday delivered remarks to mark the 30th anniversary of the Family and Medical Leave Act.

Donald Trump is not stupid.
His opponents have always underestimated him because of the colloquial way he talks–sounding vastly different than most people in the highly educated class. Not sounding educated, they assume he isn’t and by extension isn’t smart.
But in recent weeks Trump has been acting as if he is stupid, and I have to say I am surprised.
Trump has been attacking Ron DeSantis on the COVID lockdown issue, arguing that the governor’s reputation as a freedom fighter is unearned. Trump even implies that DeSantis was something of a COVID fascist, while Trump himself was fighting to reopen the American economy.
That is a profoundly stupid line of attack.
WASHINGTON — Outgoing White House chief of staff Ron Klain broke down in tears over and over again Wednesday while handing over power to his successor Jeff Zients — going so far as to praise President Biden as a role model for parenting and Vice President Kamala Harris as a great officemate.
“This is the best job I ever had,” the 61-year-old Klain blubbered as he began his remarks at an East Room transition celebration, forcing his 80-year-old boss to supportively rub his shoulder as he regained his composure.
In the moments when he wasn’t crying, Klain seemed to confirm that Biden is running for reelection in 2024
CIA Director William Burns reportedly offered Russian President Vladimir Putin a fifth of Ukraine's territory to end the war as part of a peace plan drawn up on behalf of President Joe Biden. Burns is believed to have submitted the plan in mid-January to put an end to the war, which began on February 24, 2022. The story was reported by Swiss-German newspaper NZZ on Thursday, citing high-ranking German foreign politicians. Both Kyiv and Moscow reportedly rejected the proposal.
According to the newspaper, the proposal offered "around 20 percent of Ukraine's territory"—approximately the size of Ukraine's eastern Donbas region.
The House of Representatives voted Thursday to remove Representative Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) from the Foreign Affairs Committee over her history of making antisemitic remarks.
The resolution, which passed 218-211 largely along party lines, was introduced by Representative Max Miller (R., Ohio.), one of two Jewish Republicans in the House
“Omar has disqualified herself from serving on the Committee on Foreign Affairs, a panel that is viewed by nations around the world as speaking for Congress on matters of international importance and national security,” he said in announcing the resolution.

For as much as politicians love the clever soundbites they spew to the salivating press, it is downright amazing how they forget that the internet is forever the moment they deliver them.
Take former South Carolina Governor and ex-United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, who is expected to officially announce her bid for the White House on Feb. 15.
It’s a move Newsmax host Greg Kelly called a “big, big, big mistake” given her previous remarks. (Video)“This is Nikki Haley and she thinks she can be president,” Kelly began.
“Wow big, big, big mistake,” he said. “I mean, these career politicians, right? They really stand for nothing,
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has reportedly pulled dissenter Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) from the important Commerce Committee, which could be interpreted as retaliation for challenging his leadership bid.
Further lending credibility to the retaliation theory, McConnell also pulled Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) from the Commerce Committee. Lee supported Scott’s bid to oust McConnell at the time.
“People told me not to run for Republican Leader against Mitch McConnell. They said I wouldn’t win. I knew it was going to be hard. But we’ve got to start somewhere,” Scott said in an ad released in early January.
“We are on the road to woke socialism
Because the vax is set to hit the consumer market and the government will no longer fully subsidize the multinational corporation’s profits, it’s time to move some “safe and effective” product into the private sector.
To that end, Pfizer produced a bizarre TV ad featuring, fittingly, convicted felon Martha Stewart.
The ad opens in a kitchen with Martha sharpening a samurai sword. “You know that unwelcome guest everyone wishes would just leave already? That’s COVID-19,” she says. [Video]
“That’s why I got the new, updated booster designed to help protect against recent omicron variants,” she continues as she points the sword menacingly at the viewer.
The Pentagon is tracking a suspected Chinese high-altitude surveillance balloon over the continental United States, a senior defense official said on Thursday.
The Pentagon has been tracking the balloon for several days as it made its way over the northern United States, Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder said. He added that the US military decided against shooting the balloon down.
"The balloon is currently traveling at an altitude well above commercial air traffic and does not present a military or physical threat to people on the ground," Ryder said.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., angrily hit back at congressional Republicans during a raucous speech on the House floor Thursday in response to a vote to boot Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., off the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
The New York Democratic lawmaker declared to her fellow members that the GOP was "targeting women of color" with its vote to oust Omar, which Republicans said was due to past antisemitic and anti-American remarks.
