Trump Was Right

The Big Lie continues. Last week, in his “leaked” phone call, former President Obama tried to get a narrative rolling that PDJT’s approach to the situation in NY regarding the virus had been “an absolute chaotic disaster.” As we have been seeing from Democrats and their co-conspirators in the media, the use of a flat-out lie is becoming more and more commonplace.

Let’s take a look at just a few of the many decisions and insights that PDJT has made that were both intelligent and smart.

Breaking News

Last week acting DNI Ric Grenell forced the release by Adam Schiff of the transcripts that Schiff had been refusing to release. These were transcripts of testimonies given by dozens of witnesses. These showed that many Democratic TV personalities have lied over and over when on TV broadcasts about elements of the Russian Collusion hoax.

What garnered far less attention at the time was the fact that DNI Grenell delivered a second set of documents to AG Barr on the same day. At the time no one seemed to know just what was in those documents.

Are The Media Co-Conspirators?

The Big Lie continues. Again the media is caught presenting as “news” something that is the opposite of what actually took place. Last Thursday AG Bill Barr was interviewed by CBS News’ Catherine Herridge regarding the dropping of the case against LTG Michael Flynn.

On Sunday NBC News’ Chuck Todd aired a piece of that interview on the ‘Meet The Press’ broadcast. In order to make his political points, Todd left out key comments from the interview, remarks that destroy the very argument Todd tried to make against Barr.

Lunacy Abounds

The Democrats are clearly in panic mode right now. On Sunday morning, former Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks joined “the Big Lie” movement when she stated unequivocally that the move by the DOJ to drop the Flynn case was “a clear cover-up.” This occurred on MSNBC’s AM Joy program. According to Wine-Banks, because Flynn was facing jail time, Flynn might have had more to offer about Russian involvement in the Trump Administration. Therefore, Barr had to intervene in order to prevent Flynn from doing so.

What alternate reality is this woman living in? None of the other three panelists nor the moderator disagreed. Many were nodding their heads. This is what stage 4 Trump Derangement Syndrome looks like.

Is Obama Nervous?

The following is a phone call from former President Obama. Who is on the other end is unclear. However, without a doubt, the listeners on this call are members of the Obama Alumni Association. The call was “leaked” to Michael Isikoff. Be forewarned. This is not the smooth and silken presentation that we are accustomed to hearing from Obama.

Not A One-Off

There are some people who are not completely brainwashed about what happened to Michael Flynn. However, they want to believe that the Flynn case was unique. They reluctantly admit that there seems to have been some corrupt activity going on in connection with this case. However, they attribute this to personal animosity toward Flynn. Such animosity overcame professional judgment. They may even partially blame Flynn because he was opposed to President Obama’s foreign policies. They admit it should never have happened but this was an unusual situation and does not reflect the normal course of business for these people.

Now I understand the desire to believe that this kind of corruption does not exist in our government as a normal course of business. However, this was no one-time affair. The following interview with Kathleen “K. T.” McFarland on Thursday should disabuse these people of this belief.

Trial Balloons

Governor Gavin Newsome of California became the latest governor to float a trial balloon on how long he can deny the constitutional rights of American citizens living in his state. Newsom told residents in his state not to expect life to go back to normal from the coronavirus pandemic until after a vaccine is rolled out.

Newsome follows Governor Whitmer of Michigan who has indicated that she will ignore her legislature telling her to end her lockdown orders. Whitmer is a wannabe dictator who does not want to give up the powers she has usurped.

Hallelujah!

On Thursday the DOJ filed a motion to dismiss with prejudice the charge against LTG Michael Flynn. General Flynn, a patriot, who served his country with honor and distinction for more than three decades, was railroaded by the holdovers in the FBI and DOJ from the Obama-Biden administration.

A recap:

At some point during 2016 (no later than August 2016) the Washington Field Office (WFO) of the FBI initiated an investigation into General Flynn. This was done under FARA, that is, the Foreign Agent Registration Act. This was a bogus investigation undertaken to discredit a patriot. The initiation most certainly came from FBI headquarters (FBIHQ) and not the WFO. WFO was tasked with the actual grunt work.

Shredding The Bill of Rights

The stakes are escalating daily as authoritarian government officials deny their citizens the right to earn a living and/or to attend religious services and/or just to enjoy the simple rights of free association. Citizens who are following the CDC guidelines have been arrested and charged with violating lockdown orders that came from their local government officials. The repressive nature of some of those people who have been elected to serve us is going on display all over the country.

The time has long since passed that people need to be confined to their homes if there ever was a need to do so in the first place. Now if someone is sick with COVID-19, there may be a need for quarantine. But, government has been shutting healthy people in their homes and preventing healthy people from making a living.

There are literally tens of thousands of memes circulating on the internet about the COVID-19 pandemic. Some are funny. Some express satire. Others are directed at one political party or the other, at one political personage or another. And then there are some like this one.

This attempt at an analogy is ludicrous. This meme betrays a very simplistic view of the world. A viral epidemic is not a roller coaster. There is no last bolt that can be tightened so that one can say one is safe from getting the virus. This kind of mindset has been generated by the hysterical reporting of the media. The media has been beating a drum that one is exposing oneself and others to serious risk of mortality if one gets too close to anyone.
