We are the drain the swamp people

About Harris Faulkner’s response to criticism of her handling of  the Newt Gingrich observations connecting Soros money to BLM/Antifa riots —

Faulkner didn’t “address” what should be an embarrassment! Go to the link. She did nothing of the sort: “So, we had a little incident on the show yesterday that was not smooth.”

That’s “addressing” the incident?!    dlh

She should be “addressing” Harf and Melissa Francis

FOX NEWS ANCHOR ADDRESSES CUTTING OFF GINGRICH LINKING SOROS TO VIOLENT PROTESTS 

Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner addressed an awkward on-air conversation that occurred one day prior with Newt Gingrich on Thursday, when several co-hosts of “Outnumbered” said George Soros should not be part of a conversation around the cost of riot damage across the U.S.

“So, we had a little incident on the show yesterday that was not smooth. And while I was leading that segment, we had interruptions, and I sat silently while all of that played out. Also not ideal,” Faulkner explained on “Outnumbered” on Thursday. 
“Our guest, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who is beloved and needed to be allowed to speak with the openness and respect that this show is all about, was interrupted,” she said.”Do we debate with fire here? Yes,” Faulkner continued. “But we must also give each other the space to express ourselves. As the only original member of the six-year-old amazing daytime ride known as ‘Outnumbered,’ I especially want to rock ‘n’ roll with every voice and perspective at the table.

“We don’t censor on this show,” she said. “And that’s why we are winning weekdays at noon.”

Investigate the investigators! The deniers! The politically incorrect!  The counter-revolutionaries! The insolent unwashed!

“Senate Democrats, Including Kamala Harris, Call For Investigation Into Durham Probe”

I’LL BET THE DEMOCRATS MOVE FASTER ON THIS THAN BARR/DURHAM ARE MOVING ON THEIR “INVESTIGATION”

– “The Democrats say that statements from Attorney General William Barr and White House officials show that the Durham probe is “being misused for partisan political purposes and undermines the legitimacy of any investigative steps” the prosecutor has taken.”

– “Barr has dismissed Democrats’ complaints that the investigation is being driven by politics. He has said that Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and President Obama are not targets of the investigation.”

– “Biden and Harris, the vice presidential candidate, have not said whether they will allow Durham to continue his investigation if they win in November.”

EXPECT THAT DEMS WILL SUCCEED IN BLOCKING ANYTHING MEANINGFUL RESULTING FROM BARR INQUIRY PRIOR TO ELECTION

BARR IS ABOUT TO LEARN HOW EXPERT OBSTRUCTION IS DONE; “Biden and Harris, the vice presidential candidate, have not said whether they will allow Durham to continue his investigation if they win in November.” (Is that from a comedy club bit? Is there anyone on the planet who thinks Biden-Harris would “allow” Durham’s “investigation to continue”? )          dlh

Senate Democrats, Including Kamala Harris, Call For Investigation Into Durham Probe
Chuck Ross, Daily Caller; on September 17, 2020

Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee, including Sen. Kamala Harris, are calling on the Justice Department’s watchdog to investigate whether a probe led by U.S. Attorney John Durham violates Justice Department policy.

Durham, is investigating the origins of the Trump-Russia probe and other intelligence-gathering activities related to Donald Trump and his associates.

“We write to request that you investigate whether U.S. Attorney John Durham’s investigation complies with Department of Justice policies, including policies that protect criminal investigations from political influence,” a group of 10 Democratic senators wrote to Inspector General Michael Horowitz on Thursday.

The Democrats say that statements from Attorney General William Barr and White House officials show that the Durham probe is “being misused for partisan political purposes and undermines the legitimacy of any investigative steps” the prosecutor has taken.

Barr tapped Durham in March 2019 to conduct a broad inquiry into the FBI, CIA and other agencies’ activities related to the Trump campaign. Much of Durham’s work has followed up on a report that Horowitz issued on the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation on Dec. 9.

That report blasted the FBI for 17 “significant” errors and omissions in applications for surveillance warrants on Trump aide Carter Page.

On Aug. 19, former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith pleaded guilty in the Durham probe to altering an email from the CIA regarding Page.

Barr has provided some insight into areas that Durham is investigating. He has said that Durham is investigating whether the Russian government fed disinformation into the Steele dossier, as well as whether the FBI has been forthcoming about its activities before formally opening Crossfire Hurricane.

Barr has said in interviews that he is “troubled” by what Durham has uncovered so far. He also said last month that there were likely to be “significant” developments in the probe prior to the election.

Barr has dismissed Democrats’ complaints that the investigation is being driven by politics. He has said that Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and President Obama are not targets of the investigation.

Committee Democrats also expressed concern about the release of any report from the Durham inquiry.

“It remains unclear what rules and authority permit the public release of a ‘report’ by U.S. Attorney Durham, raising additional concerns about the legitimacy of his appointment and work,” they wrote in the letter to Horowitz.

Barr has suggested that Durham may release a report of the investigation, but he has said that a report is not the goal of the probe.

“We therefore request that your office investigate whether the Durham investigation has operated consistent with Department rules governing the appointment of U.S. Attorneys and the Department’s rules on public statements concerning pending investigations, taking action that may impact an upcoming election, and White House-Department communications concerning pending criminal investigations.”

Biden and Harris, the vice presidential candidate, have not said whether they will allow Durham to continue his investigation if they win in November.

• Just wondering, what is China up to??

We have contended all along that Christopher Wray is a “Deep State Denizen”…maybe Trump’s worst and most untrustworthy appointment.

Wray has aggressively attempted to obstruct congressional efforts and Barr’s DOJ investigation to expose the FBI’s extensive wrongdoing in the 2016 election , the Trump campaign, and the Trump presidency.

His testimony before the House Homeland Security committee Thursday to suggest that the Russians are again attempting to meddle in the 2020 presidential election in order to favor Trump’s reelection prospects, is maybe, in our opinion, Wray’s most laughable effort so far.

To us, Wray is a huge disgrace and is the second Director in a row to embarrass the FBI and seriously damaged its reputation and destroyed the confidence the American people have in the Bureau.     dlh

Wray says Russia, China Tried to Piggyback on Floyd unrest

FBI Director Says Russia Trying “to Denigrate Vice President Biden…” candidacy

“The FBI director said, “We certainly have seen very active, very active efforts by the Russians to influence our election in 2020 through what I would call more the ‘malign foreign influence’ side of things — social media, use of proxies, state media, online journals, etc.”

“The Russian role is “an effort to both sow divisiveness and discord, and — I think the intelligence community has assessed this publicly — primarily to denigrate Vice President Biden and what the Russians see as kind of an anti-Russian establishment.”

Aurora (CO) Police Stand Down TWICE To Avoid Arresting Violent Felon

https://hotair.com/archives/jazz-shaw/2020/09/16/aurora-colorado-police-stand-twice-avoid-arresting-violent-felon-guess/

“Things were so bad that the Fire Department had to come and rescue McCoy’s girlfriend and their other friend through a window on the second floor using a ladder. And yet the police were told to “stand down” and walk away.

“Aurora Police Deputy Chief Darin Parker said, “We’re trying to get the situation resolved with the least amount of escalation, the least amount of confrontation as we can.” He went on to say that if the officers had responded more aggressively and attempted to take Thompson into custody it could have led to the use of deadly force.”

Asked if he thought the outcome of the Elijah McClain case impacted police strategy, Parker said, “I don’t think it would be inaccurate to say officers are thinking about how they’re handling situations now … what could happen in a situation, and I got to tell you I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing. Learning from situations that happened in the past whether it’s our agency or others is not a bad thing.”

Here’s the thing, police have to evaluate every situation for the circumstances, the environment, safety for others, the known players, that is nothing new and they generally do a good job. To assume the police would have automatically gone in guns blazing but for the never realized before political elements heroically brought to our attention by BLM,  or whatever anti-police organization out there,  is a preposterous suggestion from an experienced police supervisor.

And another thing, what if waiting caused or allowed the felon to do worse, murder suicide is not unheard of and in other circumstance quick action can be the saving grace. When circumstance warrant (usually involving threats to others), neutralizing the threat expeditiously is not necessarily bad policing and should not be assumed to be because of politics.

Re: Durham’s foot-dragging gets to Hannity

One theory, and I believe that Rush Limbaugh may have mentioned it Wednesday (it is not necessarily a new one):

Durham (and Barr) fear that they will be accused of “politicizing” the DOJ if they reveal, prior to the election, results of their investigation which are damaging to Democrats.
There’s little doubt that that would be charged, both by the Democrats and their ‘enablers/supporters’, the media.

However, there was never doubt that a thorough investigation, properly done, would take time (one might reasonably assume, a year; Durham was named in May, 2019); Mueller’s inquiry into “nothing” took 2 years, but that was extended, ironically, for political reasons.
Anyone who thought that results would be ready so far ahead of time so that it “wouldn’t be labeled “political”, especially by the guilty parties and their media supporters, would not have been naive…they would have been stupid!       dlh

DC Undercover posted this commentary yesterday by Daniel Bobinski brought to our attention by contributor Doug Kelly.   We think it summarizes the game plan of the left.  The question is what to do about it (win biggly of course). 

They can overplay their hand.  The more and sooner that their game plan is exposed (everything said here lines up) — the  better the inoculation against it — which will help it collapse or lose any effectiveness.  This manipulation and thuggery cannot be allowed to win.

The left seems not to care that their threats of “we win or we riot” are an obvious undercurrent this election as they think it helps them.  And it may with the element chronically placid, ignorant, indifferent, unprincipled, scared or subject to intimidation /extortion. 

The target for this is “‘no-party” while keeping the “traditional” Democrats in line with the usual lies. There are of course other elements, including the useful “Never-Trumpers” and their treachery who will work their angle.

But the left is quite capable of misreading a lot, (they did before in 2016) — or — they know they are going to lose and this is another violent upheaval of the insufferable Marxist world view of hate of religion, decent culture, freedom. 

Op-Ed by Daniel Bobinski

America is at a crossroads with revolution on our doorstep. On one side are the Patriots; those who seek to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution. On the other side are Marxist insurrectionists; those who believe that America is evil and the cause of so many problems in world.

The Marxist-friendly side is pulling for Joe Biden to be ushered into the White House. They don’t call themselves Marxists, but as the saying goes, if it talks like a duck and walks like a duck, it’s a duck.

I’ve been writing since January that the Globalists don’t care if there’s bloodshed in America, and in March I wrote that the Left is waging a scorched-earth war against Trump.

At the risk of sounding like I’m saying, “I told you so,” I told you so.

If you’ve been reading tea leaves from the news lately, you may have already figured out what’s coming at us in the next few months. If so, the following may simply affirm your observations. But I wanted to put this out there so everyone knows what to expect and therefore won’t be surprised.

My seven predictions for how 2020 comes to an end:

Prediction 1: Trump will win the election in a landslide. I know, the media is telling you the polls are tight, but just look around. Trump rallies are packed to the gills while Biden can’t fill the bleachers at a high school football field. Trump supporters hold huge boat parades while we see NONE for Biden. Trump supporters hold freeway caravans around that country that take up all lanes of a freeway, while an attempted caravan for Biden in Las Vegas drew only 30 people. Just like in 2016, pollsters today are making it look like it’s a close race. This is gaslighting – they’re telling you something that runs directly opposite of what your own eyes are telling you, but they’re expecting you to believe what they say.

Prediction 2: On the evening of November 3, Joe Biden will not concede the election, even though the vote will clearly be for Trump. Hillary Clinton has publicly stated that Joe should not concede, so the seed has been planted in our minds to expect this. And, because we’re expecting it, we won’t be shocked by it.

Prediction 3: Massive mail voter fraud will create confusion and Marxists (e.g. Democrats) will insist that “every vote counts.” They know Americans want to be fair so Marxists will play on that. They will cry and wail and plead that every vote needs to get counted, so they’ll ask for sympathy for voters who didn’t follow confusing new election rules about how to cast their mail-in ballots. That will be their story, but many votes will be fraudulent. As they’ve demonstrated on America’s streets, Marxists don’t care about following laws; they care about power.

Prediction 4: Because of massive mail fraud ballots showing up late, election results WILL be delayed. The deceptive Mark Zuckerberg at Facebook and the clearly biased Jack Dorsey at Twitter have already announced they will flag any posts or tweets that claim a victory for Trump. They KNOW Trump will have more than enough votes to win, but as Zuckerberg already told us, we should expect results to take “DAYS OR EVEN WEEKS.” In other words, Facebook and Twitter are well-aware of the planned mail-in voter fraud, and they’re already providing cover for it. The planned vote count confusion will be dragged out as long as possible. The Marxists’ intention is to keep confusion swirling at least until December 14 in hopes that the electoral college won’t be able to identify a winner. Expect ballots to keep showing up out of nowhere.

Prediction 5: If Marxists cannot keep up the façade until December 14, some states will obfuscate the electoral process by choosing not to follow the rules laid out in the 12^th Amendment. In fact, both may happen. Either way, by attempting to throw the electoral college into confusion, Marxists (again, the Democrats) will make a push for the electoral college to be eliminated. Believe me when I say you don’t want this. Students of the Constitution know that if the electoral college is eliminated, the Republic will be gone.

Prediction 6: Expect Nancy Pelosi to be acting all patriotic and concerned about the Constitution during the chaos, but rest assured, it’s a passive-aggressive act. She is among the Marxist vanguard in both houses of Congress orchestrating the whole mess. You will also see some Marxist-friendly governors making a lot of noise.

Prediction 7: While Marxists in Congress are messing with the electoral process, Marxists on the streets (Antifa and BLM) will intensify their violence by burning, looting, and murdering even more than what we’ve seen to this point. There’s already a movement that seeks to lay siege to the White House. Not only do the puppet masters want all the street chaos to distract our attention from what’s going on in the electoral process, the street Marxists see this election as their only chance to either grab power or put up with Trump for four more years. The protestors have been trained to instigate violence, and copy-cat wannabes will want to join in. Street Marxists will view these riots as the fight of their lives: it will get intense.

To perpetuate the riots, puppet masters like George Soros will continue pouring money into organizations that fund them. Also remember that Antifa and BLM have threatened to go into the suburbs. Their purpose for doing so is to trigger the Soccer Moms who wants peace at all costs. Marxists will hope that these suburban moms will apply pressure on their elected representatives to give in to the Marxists so the violence will end. Life on American streets will be unpredictable and dangerous.

How does it end?

The Marxists are desperate, so the fighting will be like nothing the country has ever seen before. I predict we’ll see horrific things happening in our cities and on our streets, and traditional media (read: Marxist-friendly media) will be spewing twisted truths and lies about everything listed above. And we can’t forget that social media giants favor the Marxists in this revolution, so they will be squelching debate in whatever ways they can.

The final months of 2020 will be an emotional roller coaster, but in the end, I predict Trump prevails. It’s not going to be pretty, and many who are now thinking life will return to normal after November 3 will be sadly mistaken. They will be wondering what happened to the country they once knew.

Whether the Democrats implode or not after all this happens remains to be seen, but it is my prayer that when the dust settles, all the Marxists plotters and schemers be exposed and truth will be recognized as truth. And then … maybe then … Trump can get on with his promise to drain the entire swamp.

Sean Hannity had Sara Carter on as a guest this week. His comments echo ours. 

Informed by Sara Carter’s work (and others) we have also been greatly disturbed by the unconscionable time it is taking to release reports on what at their origin were crimes motivated by politics. The victims — Trump, members of the Trump administration, his supporters, Republicans and the American people are being denied timely justice and any opportunity for recompense. The perps, being found guilty and a few sacrificial lambs being sent to federal prison resorts for a bit, is success for the grand strategy of getting Trump, denying his reelection,  if the truth is not allowed to impact that election when that truth is essentially known. Now we hope and believe Trump should win anyway but the bad guys win to the extent of “lawlessness works” if this sort of delay represents justice.

Via Gateway Pundit.

In a rare rebuke Sean Hannity went after US Attorney John Durham on Monday for delaying the release of his investigation. The country is only 50 days from the next presidential election and Durham and Attorney General Bill Barr have yet to release their findings in the probe of FBI-CIA spying on candidate and then President Donald Trump.

So far only one FBI official has been accused of criminal activity in the historic attempted coup of a sitting US president.

Sean Hannity: John Durham has not done anyone a favor for taking so long. With the information we now have, overwhelming evidence, incontrovertible that is premeditated fraud on a FISA court. It should have been released prior to the summer.

Sean is right.
If nothing comes from this deep state lawlessness the American people will no longer be able to trust the horrible criminal elitists in Washington DC.

A full expose on the FDA (and the weakness of the Iowa Board of Medicine) decision making on the use of  hydroxychloroquine is a scandal but the good news , according to information reported to us but unconfirmed in the minutes as yet of their meeting, (not published as yet) is that the  Iowa Board of Medicine (IBM) granted the petition of Dr David Hartsuch to rescind the Board’s previous actions limiting the use of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment or prophylactic in part for Covid 19.   We will publish a confirmation in the minutes when they are available.  Veritas previously encouraged readers to contact the IBM in support of Dr. Hartsuch’s petition.

Readers interested in the full text of the Governors proclamation regarding Covid 19 (now effective until September 20 ) can read it below.  We may critique the matter more fully but do note that the matter of masks is an advisory and even at that is not recommended for those with breathing problems. We find breathing through the things inhibit breathing properly and make sense only in limited circumstances — if we had symptoms or were in a medical setting.
