Watergate’s Continuing Legacy: Dishonest
Media and Clueless Republicans
Posted By: DW626, 6/22/2025 12:10:16 AM
June 17, 2025, the recent 53rd anniversary of the Watergate break-in, should remind us of the scandal’s scurrilous aftermath. What was promised to be a new millennium of aggressive, yet punctilious, journalism turned out to be a continuation of the Washington Post‘s reckless, essentially untruthful, Watergate reporting, clearly biased in favor of Democrats. While Republicans in the wake of Watergate vowed to be beyond reproach, like Caesar’s wife, they were indeed generally rectitudinous but yet continued the same stupidity that ruined the Nixon administration. Because neither side addressed these failures, they persist today.

Remember back when Bill Clinton was President and Hillary was his co-president?
Back then the ever-slavish media regularly referred to her as “the smartest woman in the room"?
That was never true. Not even close.
She was never a feminist heroine because she “was no Tammy Wynette” and did not “stay home and bake cookies and stand by her man.”
She was always just a mean, bitter, unattractive woman with narcissistic delusions of her own abilities.
And after all the intervening years, when she was Obama’s Secretary of State (a pity appointment because she lost the election to him – better to keep her inside the tent),
Downfall of the ayatollahs?

Untergang (Downfall, 2004) is a movie about the last days of the Hitler regime, including Hitler's nine-millimeter-and-cyanide honeymoon with Eva Braun.
We are now looking at the final days of Iran's theocracy, which is likely to collapse by the end of the week; one week after Israel began military action.
It is well known from history that, when a country's leaders flee the battlefield, the war is over for them.
At Gaugamela in 331 B.C.E., the massive Persian army collapsed when King Darius turned his chariot to run from Alexander the Great, who was personally trying to kill him.
Once his army saw him flee, it lost its will to fight
With mandate from the American people to destroy the Deep State once and for all, clean out the pedophiles, child traffickers, traitors, and other criminals in Washington (and across all levels of government), Pam Bondi has more important things to do, like making sure the basement dwelling losers who fancy themselves revolutionaires à la Che Guevara don’t (allegedly) refuse service to Jewish patrons. Are these people vile? Absolutely. If they refused service to certain patrons based on religious or political affiliations did they break the law?
Growing up with Lombardi

Another June and another opportunity to remember that Vince Lombardi was born in Brooklyn on this day in 1913.
In 1964, our family arrived in Wisconsin from Cuba. We did not know a thing about the NFL or what they call American football. In fact, my only reference to the sport was a cartoon that my brother and I watched in Cuba. My only reaction was that the ball had a weird shape. How do you throw something like that? It was a Disney and I think it was Pluto rushing for a play.
Recently, CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson appeared on “The Prof G Pod” to promote their book, Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again.
Tapper discussed the reaction from an unnamed left-leaning podcast upon mentioning his son’s ambitions of joining law enforcement.
“Their joke was about my 15-year-old son, ‘Oh, how does he feel about minorities?’ Like the idea that he wants to be a policeman, therefore, he’s racist. And like, you know, that was the big laugh. And then I got dragged in the comments
It was supposed to be economic Armageddon. That, at least, was the loud warning from academics, pundits, and many in the financial press. Tariffs, they said, would torch the American consumer, spike inflation, and crater confidence. Especially those tariffs President Donald Trump instituted on April 2 — Liberation Day. Instead, something else happened: nothing of the sort. Far from igniting the inflationary firestorm predicted by his critics, Trump’s sweeping tariffs — including a 10% universal import duty and targeted hikes on 90 nations — have coincided with the lowest inflation rate since early 2021. In a striking reversal of the narrative pushed by many economists,

Mass looting. Rampant vandalism. Cars on fire. Policemen assaulted and injured. Bricks and rocks and metal scooters thrown from overpasses. Molotov cocktails hurled at will.
Once again, Democrats don’t just fiddle as “Rome” burns, they cheer on the destruction.
America, this is what they want for the country as a whole. Indeed, their various subgroups are threatening to bring the chaos and violence national this summer. Coming soon, to a town near you?
An amalgam — a perfect storm — of illegal aliens, supporters of Palestine, garden variety criminals and thugs, Antifa members, and even radical Muslims have threatened to visit violence across the land.
Civil War 2.0?
7 replies
Democrats have a long history of inciting violence. Examples abound. From starting the Civil War, to forming the KKK, to violently resisting school integration, to the Michael Brown and George Floyd riots, to the current anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles. Democrat-run cities are typically the most dangerous, poorly-run environs in the U.S. and when you push the oppressor/victim narrative across the media landscape, violence gets put on the menu.
Their rhetoric ramped up during Trump 45's administration when Democrat politicians and celebrities openly called for violence against President Trump and Republicans, even while accusing Republicans of being aggressors.
ICE bad, illegals rioting good. You can bet that’s Democrats’ calculation. Riots have been underway in Los Angeles. Mask-wearing provocateurs are waving Mexican flags. LA is their Mount Suribachi. A lot of people say that if illegals love Mexico so much, then go back home. But they miss the point. What’s happening in LA is about conquest.
Hoisting Mexican flags on U.S. soil stakes a claim. This real estate is ours, declare the troublemakers, among whom are surely homegrown leftist agitators. LA, in part, smells like a George Floyd riots redo. In this instance, federal agents, acting on behalf of American citizens, are being fought.
The Hard Truth about ‘L’Affaire Chauvin’
14 replies
A week or so ago, I received an email from an old friend in the intelligence community—let’s call him “Smiley”—commenting on my research into the case of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted in April 2021 of murdering chronic felon and drug abuser George Floyd a year prior.
Said Smiley, “Time for you to write a ‘J’accuse’ piece--naming names.” He was referring to the powerful public letter French author Emile Zola wrote in 1898 damning the people responsible for the wrongful conviction and imprisonment of French Army Captain Alfred Dreyfus four years prior.
As you’re probably aware, illegal aliens, communists, Antifa foot soldiers, and other agents of Marxism, Islam, and chaos, went to war against federal law enforcement officers rounding up illegal aliens in Los Angeles (estimated to be 10% of Los Angeles County’s population, although I suspect that estimate is very, very low). There’s a lot to say about all this, including the notable fact that the people who were setting fires and throwing projectiles waved Mexican and “Palestinian” flags, and were funded by socialist NGOs, but I actually want to focus specifically on California’s governor, Gavin Newsom.

Jasmine Crockett’s latest tone-deaf outrage proves once again that some Democrats care more about political posturing than national security. Instead of applauding President Donald Trump’s decisive strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, a move that will protect American lives and interests, Crockett is mad that Trump didn’t “holla” at her first to ask for permission.
Just hours after President Trump accomplished what no other leader dared—crippling Iran’s nuclear program—Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) took to social media in a tirade, fuming that the president didn’t ask for her “permission” to carry out the strike. She failed to acknowledge that the mission was deliberately kept under tight wraps, known only to a select group
We Have No Idea Where This War Will Go

After days of publicly mulling whether to join Israel in its military campaign against Iran, President Trump directed the U.S. military on Saturday to execute a complex attack on three of the nation’s nuclear sites with several American warplanes and submarines. Hours later, Mr. Trump declared the mission a “spectacular military success,” saying during a national address from the White House that U.S. forces had “completely and totally obliterated,” Iran’s nuclear program. “There’s no military in the world that could have done what we did tonight, not even close,” he said, standing in front of Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Iran’s parliament has voted to close the Strait of Hormuz, the vital shipping channel through which around 20% of the world’s daily oil flows.
The move, which could block $1 billion in oil shipments per day, is likely to send oil prices soaring.
It will come into effect pending a final decision by Iran’s Supreme Council. The Supreme Council’s decision must be made by tonight, according to Iran’s state-run Press TV.
Iran’s major escalation in response to US strikes on its nuclear facilities “will be done whenever necessary,” Email Kosari, Commander in the Revolutionary Guards, said on Sunday.

On Sunday morning Russia's former president and current deputy chairman of the country's Security Council Dmitry Medvedev issued his reaction to the major US overnight strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, giving what's essentially the view of where things stand from the Kremlin.
Medvedev in a ten-point list of reactions characterized the attacks as ultimately ineffective, and that it will blow back on America and Israel in a way opposite than intended, especially as Tehran will now only push harder for a nuke, and allied countries might now simply be willing to supply them to the Iranians, he described.
President Trump caught the world off-guard Saturday by bombing three Iranian nuclear sites — after his apparently strategic deception indicating that such strikes weren’t imminent and trickery with the deployment of US Air Force B-2 bombers.
Trump said Thursday he would make a decision in the “next two weeks” to allow more time for negotiations, giving the sense of reprieve amid fevered speculation he might join Israel’s airstrikes.
“Based on the fact that there’s a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future, I will make my decision whether or not to go within the next two weeks,”

strikes in Iran; Homeland Security issues bulletin 19 replies
In a precautionary move, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz placed all state authorities on heightened alert in the event that Iran retaliates following the U.S. bombing of three Iranian nuclear facilities on Saturday night. "Following the President’s decision to bomb nuclear facilities in Iran, I’ve directed our public safety teams to be on heightened alert for potential threats to Minnesota," Walz announced. "While there’s no known threats at this time, we’ll continue to monitor the situation and respond accordingly." Homeland Security issued a bulletin through the National Terrorism Advisory System on Sunday, saying the conflict in Iran "is causing a heightened
The LA County Sheriff’s Department has deleted a social media post calling the US airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities “tragic” after being dragged online.
“Our hearts go out to the victims and families impacted by the recent bombings in Iran,” the department wrote on X Sunday in a now-deleted post.
“While this tragic event happened overseas, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is closely monitoring the situation alongside our local, state and federal partners.”
The post sparked immediate outrage and was allegedly updated to exclude the part sending condolences to “the victims and families” and calling the US military airstrikes “tragic.”
Trump just took back what Obama gave Iran
18 replies
It’s very early in the Iran nuclear story, but one thing is certain: What Barack Obama gave to Iran—millions and millions of dollars in cash on wooden pallets to make The Bomb—Trump just took back.
Obama had no problems with Iran developing a nuclear weapon. The money he gave the Mullahs was to go toward that end. Islamophilic Obama thought that the country that vowed “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” had every right to have nuclear weapons with which to carry out those threats. Iran had been threatening to vaporize all of us with nukes for years. Obama apparently thought, “Why not?” and sent them
Democrats in Washington are again talking impeachment. Politicians and pundits are expressing outrage over President Donald Trump attacking Iran without a prior authorization of Congress. It is the Claude Rains School of Constitutional Law where politicians are "shocked, shocked" that Trump is using the authority that they accepted in Democratic predecessors. Fourteen years ago this week, I was in court litigating that very issue when President Barack Obama attacked Libya. Most Democrats supported or were silent on the action.
Explosions were heard over Doha, Qatar's capital on Monday evening.
Authorities issued a warning that US Central Command (CENTCOM)'s Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar could be the target of an imminent Iranian attack, The Jerusalem Post was told on Monday evening by a source familiar with the details. Al Udeid Air Base is the largest US base in the Middle East, and serves as the forward headquarters for CENTCOM, accommodating approximately 10,000 troops. Iran also launched missiles towards US bases in Iraq, a source told the Post. According to the source, six missiles were launched towards Al Udeid Air Base and one towards US troops in Iraq.

Pakistan condemned U.S. President Donald Trump for bombing Iran, less than 24 hours after saying he deserved a Nobel Peace Prize for defusing a recent crisis with India.
Relations between the two South Asian countries plummeted after a massacre of tourists in Indian-controlled Kashmir in April. The nuclear-armed rivals stepped closer to war in the weeks that followed, attacking each other until intense diplomatic efforts, led by the U.S., resulted in a truce for which Trump took credit.

Iran has launched its first salvo of ballistic missiles at Israel after the US military conducted airstrikes at three key Iranian nuclear facilities in the early hours of Sunday, marking a dramatic escalation in the West Asian conflict.
Iran’s state media said more than 30 ballistic missiles had been fired as sirens rang across parts of Israel, while explosions were heard in Jerusalem. The Israeli Army said it was working to intercept missiles from Iran. Israel had closed its airspace after the US strikes on Iran.
