For Obama, the Cover-Up Was Worse than
the Crime

Original Article

Posted By: Magnante, 5/23/2023 4:31:45 AM

Two enduring aphorisms emerged from the Watergate affair, both directed at then-president Richard Nixon. The one at the outset of the investigation was delivered in the form of a question: “What did he know and when did he know it?” The second came at the end in the form of a warning to future presidents: “The cover-up is worse than the crime.” Thanks to the Durham report, we know the date that then-president Barack Obama learned about what John Durham calls the “Clinton Intelligence plan.” If CIA Director John Brennan’s notes are to be believed, that date was August 3, 2016. This was the day Brennan briefed Obama

This is a thought provoking and important article, my vote for a must read. Thanks for posting. Obama thinks his (half) blackness is a shield against political adversity. He may be right but shouldn’t be. If the country wasn’t ready to hold him accountable for his actions then we weren’t ready for our first black President. Also, Valerie Jarrett should also be in the Obama Administration rogues gallery.

Agreed, #1: a Must Read. Maybe the Lightbringer’s biggest lie, repeated by his toadies in the press, is that there was never even a smidgeon of corruption in his administration.

Nixon was ousted because the left wing media hated him and created a public outrage over Watergate. The media always protects, defends and promotes democrats.

Does anyone think Obama feels any shame that he was a crook?

No it wasn't. The crime went beyond the campaign and continued several years into the Trump presidency. That made it treason. Punishable by execution.

Remember, Obama mocked Trump at the 2016 WH correspondence dinner, and stated he would not become POTUS. Despite being briefed by Brennan, and knowing that their was no there there, the administration allowed the issue to continue. Then, later further briefed in Jan 2017 at the WH by Comey which was the rationale/excuse to launch the Special Prosecutor. This has to be viewed as a stain on the Obama administration.

Almost all of the Biden attempts to CHANGE our nation, one finds OBAMA pulling the strings. It's a gover-up. We have a culture in our nation. It has been bulding itself for almost 2 centuries. Our culture IS our nation. Do not let anyone tell you differently. Make America great again.

Understand the Biden Plea Deal for What
It Is: Evidence

After 5 years of investigation, and a damning amount of publicly available evidence, Hunter Biden got a sweetheart plea deal from the Department of Justice. The son of the President was given a deal that would have never been offered to Donald Trump (snip) But the outrage shouldn’t be about a crackhead deadbeat escaping justice. Hunter Biden is of no consequence to our society. But what it indicates is very significant. Our criminal justice system is broken. (snip) His only significance is that he is also a metaphorical fingerprint – a piece of evidence exposing serious wrongdoing.

Apparently as a counterpart to the ongoing lavish media attention paid to “Pride Month,” a media black hole has opened up and swallowed a horrifying story of 4 children, ages 5 to 10, rescued from a transsexual sex party in a Boston housing project that turned deadly. Nary a word about it from monarchs of mainstream media, including the hometown Boston Globe. But the always lively Boston Herald either didn’t get the memo or didn’t care. (snip) there were drugs, alcohol, sex toys all around the apartment as well as a dead body on the floor.”

If these reports from someone close to Tucker Carlson are true – and I bet that they are – some very talented people seem to regard Fox News as a sinking ship and are hopping off. Chadwick Moore, a frequent guest on Tucker Carlson’s former Fox News show and the author of a forthcoming biography of Tucker, revealed Saturday that 9 former staffers of his show have left the network to work for their old boss as he rolls out his new program on Twitter… and quite possibly a slate of other offerings there as his organization builds.

Call it a “Freudian slip,” where a person accidentally says what she really is thinking. Stacey Plaskett is a nonvoting member of Congress, a delegate representing the US. Virgin Islands in the House of Representatives. She was born and grew up in New York City, and graduated from the elite and expensive Choate Rosemary Hall prep school in Connecticut before going on the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown and law school at American University. (snip) She’s no loudmouth dummy, and instantaneously recognized what she said and corrected herself to say “stopped” in place of "shot," but that bell can't be unrung.

Just as Hollywood seems stuck on the notion of releasing new versions of once-popular films using new actors, the corrupt Department of Justice seems to be using the same tattered playbook once again in the preposterous and ill-considered indictment of President Trump. Only if you saw the originals, you know the plot tricks this time. I refer you to the Lewis “Scooter” Libby and Senator Ted Stevens cases I’ve written about here.

There is nothing more fundamental to electioneering than taking a list of registered voters, knocking on their doors, pitching your candidate, handing each a flyer, and getting them all out to vote. This is the building block of election management. It is stunning how absolutely incompetent the Republican Party is performing this fundamental task. Last week, NBC News did a story about how the canvassing for Republican candidates was so bad that it likely lost the Senate elections in Nevada and Georgia, and probably others as well. Our Republican Party pals could not deliver a list of voters that was close to accurate!
The Decline and Fall of the American Empire 18 replies
Posted by Magnante 5/30/2023 8:11:36 AM Post Reply
A cursory examination of history reveals that the United States is mired in the same process that precipitated the collapse of the great empires of the past. The foibles and failures of human nature and their impact on the rise and fall of empires is amazingly consistent and the end result always inevitable. Can this nation avoid a similar fate? Empires are defined as great military and economic powers encompassing large occupied or controlled land areas. Although they vary greatly, they average around 250 years in duration. The United States will be celebrating its 250th anniversary in 2026.

The Brits are big on gardens and the beauty of their creations attests to it. Which is why climate protestors were in for a surprise when, at London's famous annual Chelsea Flower Show, three of them who jumped into a fancy garden display and began hurling orange powder all over it, got sprayed down with a garden hose by one of the locals. (snip) It was an appropriate response to a nuisance group that was attempting to destroy the thousands of hours of hard work that went into creating that world-class garden space, and must have been gratifying to the gardener/artist who created it.

I was shocked when CBS News aired an interview with the IRS whistleblower who revealed what looks like preferential treatment of Hunter Biden in his tax investigation (snip) This more or less broke what has been a legacy media blockade of coverage of the Biden family’s scandalous receipt of millions of dollars from foreign sources and associated tax scandals.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has humiliated herself, apparently in the false belief that truckers care what she thinks. She took to Twitter to call for a trucker boycott of shipments to Florida because of what she terms “anti-immigrant” policies of Governor Ron DeSantis, deliberately conflating legal with illegal immigration (snip) Even the leftist Tallahassee Democrat conceded this week they were unaware of any truckers actually boycotting the Sunshine State. The President of Florida Trucking Association, Alix Miller, furthermore, told the British left-wing website the Independent, “I’m aware of the reports, but have not heard of any issues.”

Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi told Republicans Wednesday on the House floor that they looked 'miserable' and said they had turned the chamber into a 'puppet show' at the behest of former President Donald Trump. Pelosi was the final Democrat to speak during the afternoon's debate over whether California Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff should be censured over his role in the House's Russia probe of Trump. A similar measure targeting Schiff, the former top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, who House Speaker Kevin McCarthy pushed off the panel earlier this year, failed in the House last week.

Speaker Kevin McCarthy urged House Republicans to vote against the resolution brought forward by GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado forcing a vote to impeach President Joe Biden this week, arguing now is not the right time, multiple sources in the closed door meeting told CNN. McCarthy argued that Republicans should let committee investigations play out and warning that jumping to impeachment now could threaten their slim majority, the sources said. The speaker noted that House Republicans have taken back the House five times in the last 100 years, and two of those times lost the majority the next cycle. “What majority do we want to be,” McCarthy asked his conference,

The Pentagon revealed on Tuesday that an overestimation in the value of weapons sent to Ukraine over the past two years has resulted in an extra $6.2 billion of U.S. taxpayers’ money earmarked for the Eastern European country. This figure is approximately double what was originally estimated and allegedly will be utilized for future security packages. Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh provided clarification on the nature of the error, explaining that the military services had used the replacement cost rather than the book value of equipment pulled from Pentagon stocks and sent to Ukraine.

MSNBC political analyst Claire McCaskill said Tuesday on “Deadline” that House Republicans criticizing President Joe Biden after his son, Hunter Biden, reached a plea deal with the Department of Justice needed to “back off.” When asked about Republican lawmakers comments on the plea deal, McCaskill said, “I don’t know what America they live in and I don’t know how they sleep at night. Alcoholism and addiction are probably the most pervasive diseases in America. I don’t know of one family that hasn’t been touched by the pain of these diseases. And it’s particularly painful when you have someone you love unconditionally that is suffering from these diseases.”

The sight of a president of the United States ascending or descending the stairs to the entrance of Air Force One, often waving from beside that thick door with the Seal of the President of the United States visible on it inside, is one of the iconic images of the presidency, full of the majesty of the office and the drama of the giant airliner known for decades as "the queen of the skies" (sadly, no longer in production). Apparently, we will no longer be treated to such a sight for the 46th president of the United States. Suddenly, Joe Biden has started using the back door of the plane,

A blistering, intense heatwave is pounding the South, offering states little relief as thousands are still without power after devastating storms. Temperatures have soared to record levels, keeping large swaths of southern U.S. in triple-digit temperatures and hitting a sweltering 114F (46 degrees Celsius) in some areas. On the final day of spring on Tuesday, the heat was already closer to the middle of summer in much of the Southern tier, forcing a warning to some 32 million in parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and New Mexico. The National Weather Service also issued a warning over the 'dangerous conditions'.
