They’re afraid’: Jim Jordan says Democrats want to impeach Barr because John Durham will find ‘spying’

OF COURSE THEY’RE AFRAID…BUT THEY NEEDN’T BE

EITHER AG BARR OR SOMEONE ELSE CLOSE TO TRUMP IS TRYING TO HELP THE DEMS ALL THEY CAN

Delaying the investigation, or by holding off revealing the damning truths it has uncovered, someone in the Administration is giving Democrats all the time and opportunity possible to diminish the extreme damage to the corrupt Obama years and the virtual destruction of the Democratic Party that would result from a timely presentation of the evidence.

If not disclosed before the “end of summer”, the results of Durham’s investigation will get very little “news” coverage, and what is reported will be so overwhelmed by campaign activities and whatever additional phony “Russia”-type scandals the Democrats will roll out, that one will have to go to page 23 of the local “news”paper to even read about the “investigatory nothing burger” that will be portrayed.

What the entire free world must know by now but won’t admit, the whole ‘game’ for the Democrats is to keep the gross criminality committed by the Obamaites to corrupt the 20216 election and deny Donald Trump his presidency under wraps until ‘Pitiful Joe’ Biden can be carried over the November Election ‘finish line’.

If that comes to pass as the Dems and the corrupt media hope, nothing more will be heard of William Barr, John Durham, or their “investigation into spying”.

And who are the culprits within the Trump administration abetting this strategy?

Undeniably Christopher Wray has done his share. (Wray isn’t as dumb and inept as he appears…he’s just doing his “Deep State” thing.) And what about CIA Director Gina Haspell? Maybe even Barr himself? Maybe not part of the ‘formal’ effort but certainly a contributor, if not to blocking the revelations, but certainly helping to drastically slow the process, Lindsey Graham…all talk, no action.                dlh

‘They’re afraid’: Jim Jordan says Democrats want to impeach Barr because John Durham will find ‘spying’

by Daniel Chaitin, at the Washington Examiner

Democrats may be trying to hinder U.S. Attorney John Durham’s inquiry into the Russia investigation, according to a top House Republican.

Rep. Jim Jordan, the ranking member on the House Judiciary and Oversight committees, said that a resolution signed by Rep. Eric Swalwell and dozens of other Democrats seeking an investigation into whether Attorney General William Barr should be impeached is a byproduct of their fear of what Durham may find.

“The thing that scares [Swalwell] about Bill Barr is this investigation he has tasked John Durham to complete,” Jordan told Fox News this week. “And Mr. Barr said it is going to be done sometime this summer.”

The Ohio Republican said that Democrats first got spooked when Barr testified to Congress in April 2019 and said he believes “spying did occur” on President Trump’s 2016 campaign.

“They’re afraid of what that might show, mainly the spying that took place. And that’s what set these folks off,” Jordan said. “When Bill Barr first testified, Martha, after he was confirmed, he used the word ‘spying,’ and the Democrats went crazy. But he used that word because that’s exactly what they did.”

Little is known about Durham’s investigation into misconduct by federal law enforcement and intelligence officials during the Crossfire Hurricane investigation that was later wrapped into special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Barr, who is facing increasing scrutiny from Democrats, who are concerned about the alleged politicization of the Justice Department, recently told Fox News that he anticipates “developments” in Durham’s investigation by the end of the summer.

Part of the resolution that was introduced this week by Rep. Steve Cohen, a Tennessee Democrat who is a senior member of the House Judiciary Committee, says Barr “eroded confidence in the judicial system by questioning the legitimacy of Department of Justice investigations and discrediting the Department’s finding.”

NBA Will Let Players Replace Name On Jersey With Social Justice Statement 

“…CNN anchor Ana Cabrera is all in on the name change,”… “suggesting that a number of players have been ‘concerned’ about resuming a game for which they’re paid millions of dollars becoming a distraction from the business at a hand: the ‘social justice movement.’”

And their thinking …? “Consider that Philadelphia 76ers co-owner Michael Rubin actually told the aforementioned Cabrera, “To be able to use your platform and your brand, the NBA, your team, to help bring the country together is something that a lot of people care deeply about.”

OK SO HERE’S A FEW POSSIBLE JERSEY “STATEMENTS:

Whooze Your Baby Momma? (in place of numerous player names)

F-ck Stupid Fans (in place of multi-, multimillionaire ‘James’)

WE NEED LEADERS LIKE XI JIN PING (Any NBA player)

“NIKE Uber Alles” *

Cuban for Prez (every Dallas Mavericks player)

* a version of the phrase is commonly associated with Nazi propaganda.

It appears that the NFL…and Sports in general…is determined to drive itself/themselves out of business, but first, by alienating the overwhelming majority of its current fans.

Happy Fourth of July!

NFL WILL PLAY THE BLACK NATIONAL ANTHEM BEFORE OPENING WEEK GAMES

Four weeks after commissioner Roger Goodell vowed to listen to and work with players in their fight for racial equality, the NFL is in the process of solidifying plans to honor victims of systemic racism with a number of in-game programs during opening week of the 2020 season.

Starting with the nationally televised regular-season opener between the Houston Texans and Kansas City Chiefs on Sept. 10, “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” also known as the Black national anthem, will be performed before every Week 1 kickoff, before “The Star-Spangled Banner,” according to a person familiar with ongoing discussions. The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on condition of anonymity because plans have not yet been finalized and announced by NFL officials.

Both anthems will be televised Sunday afternoon, and on “Sunday Night Football” and “Monday Night Football” contests as well. ESPN’s “Undefeated” first reported news of these plans.

The person said after brainstorming with numerous players and the NFL Players Association, NFL officials also plan to honor victims of police brutality through elements such as helmet decals or jerseys. It’s also expected that the Week 1 broadcasts will feature a number of educational PSAs about victims and their families.

HERE’S THE “INDEPENDENT SENTINEL’S TAKE ON THE STORY: (pic not in original)

NFL will play Black national anthem before the national anthem during every game
By  M. Dowling –

The NFL plans to play the “Black national anthem” before America’s National Anthem during every game from the beginning of the season.

That is an abomination. It sets up two Americas and is very divisive. It also rubs our faces in the misery of slavery which we had nothing to do with and which is not the story of America.

Will they stand for the Black Anthem and kneel for the National Anthem?
USA Today reported this will begin with the nationally televised regular-season opener between the Houston Texans and Kansas City Chiefs on September 10th.
Both anthems will be televised Sunday afternoon, and on “Sunday Night Football” and “Monday Night Football” contests as well.
—————-
And here it is, the “Black National Anthem”:

Words: James Weldon Johnson
Music: John Rosamond Johnson
Lift every voice and sing, till earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise, high as the listening skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on till victory won.
Stony the road we trod, bitter the chastening rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet,
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered,
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered;
Out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our star is cast.
God of our weary years, God of our silent tears,
Thou who has brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who hast by Thy might, led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee,
Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee.
Shadowed beneath Thy hand, may we forever stand,
True to our God, true to our native land.

The staff of some of these institutions could be complicit. Senior care facilities and those for the handicapped can heavily influence the selections made, “encouraging” people to vote who really do not want to. Union influence could be part of this.

Ken Blackwell writing at Townhall.  More on the subject, and other issues of concern, are available at the site.

Senior Living Facilities: All the Vote Fraud We Cannot See 

Despite prosecutions and public stories identifying vote fraud activists targeting seniors, many in our media and political class continue to deny that our elderly population can be singled out for vote manipulation and suppression.

Vote fraudsters recognize the unique challenges of some seniors, and exploit these to achieve their own deceitful political ends. The fraud is real, institutionalized —and must be stopped.

It is more efficient to target seniors in one facility than committing door to door vote fraud. With approximately 2.5 million seniors in assisted living or nursing facilities and even more in independent living, our trusting Greatest Generation is high risk for being targeted by dishonest political activists.

The elderly usually make the difficult decision to enter senior living due to the normal processes of aging. Loss of vision, mobility and the onset of dementia make it challenging to safely live at home and difficult for many seniors to complete ballots without assistance. In addition to needing help, their voting behavior is noteworthy in assessing why they might be targeted.

Seniors vote Republican by a large margin. A 2016 Pew Research study found 53 percent identify as Republican, and in 2016, voters over 65 voted for Trump by nine points over Clinton.

So, who would have an interest in suppressing or manipulating senior votes?

The answer is, of course, Democrats and their associated activist and organizational allies who want to defeat Republicans at the polls. One group in particular already has a unique foothold in senior residence communities and is one of the Democratic party’s strongest supporters.

The Service Employees International Union was founded in 1921 to organize building services employees, but in recent years has focused on healthcare workers whose numbers are growing as Baby Boomers age.

The union boasts 1.1 million healthcare-associated members with nearly 50K nursing home members in six states and the District of Columbia alone. It devotes much of its resources to unionizing employees in senior facilities and home health care.

The SEIU is also a powerful Democratic political machine. In the 2018 midterms, 99 percent of its Congressional donations went to Democrats. All of its outside group funding is identified as Democratic/liberal.

In the 2016 presidential cycle, 99 percent of its $11.8 million in donations went to Democratic candidates or liberal groups.

In its efforts to unionize caregivers in Minnesota a few years ago, SEIU was accused of forging ballots, and made no secret of using its members as vote collection activists. In senior residences, it has a potential group of built-in activists.

One 2018 case of nursing home vote theft videotaped in Texas showed the ballot harvester bragging she collected 100 coerced votes for a Democratic candidate. A Texas vote integrity activist recently collected solid evidence of nursing home vote fraud resulting in an official investigation. There are many stories of institutional elderly vote theft made public by observant family members.

These are cases we can see, but how many voters in senior facilities that we don’t know about don’t get to vote, or have ballots discarded or manipulated? Vote suppression, in particular, is difficult to identify and prove.

Senior living management are kind, caring people who likely have no idea the seniors they care for can be victimized by the ballot assistance volunteer they just let in the front door. They must confirm the legitimacy of anyone volunteering to help with senior voting.

At the American Constitutional Rights Union, we started our Protect Elderly Votes project to advocate for the protection of senior votes. We understand visible and hidden fraud happens because residence staff are not aware of the activity of vote thieves.

By mid-July, ACRU will have mailed over 6,000 letters to executive management of senior facilities in all 50 states informing them of federal and state statutes that protect their residents from vote fraud, and encouraging their leadership to protect seniors under their care.

The best assistant for a senior needing any form of help with voting is a trusted family member or friend. If one is not available, senior residence management must take steps to ensure no visitor or staff in their facility influences a vote or checks a box for an elderly resident that does not represent the political choice of that resident.

Each state has different laws protecting voters from those who try to assist them with their ballots dishonestly. The management of each facility is responsible for ensuring those statutes are upheld to the letter of the law.

For most senior residence employees, their job is a labor of love. It is not an easy job, either physically or emotionally. These employees have a heart of protection, and they must add protection against vote activism and theft against their residents to their list of important responsibilities.

“That’s some weird Shit!“  G W BUSH  (his ‘assessment’ of President Trump’s inaugural speech, 2017.)

If there is anyone out there reading Veritaspac that still has a positive regard for George W. Bush, or any of the Bush family for that matter, we’d like to hear from, and in brief comment, WHY?   dlh

Hundreds of former George W. Bush officials set to endorse Biden: report

By Lauren Meier – The Washington Times – Wednesday, July 1, 2020

Hundreds of former officials who served under President George W. Bush are gearing up to endorse presumptive Democratic Nominee Joe Biden.

The group of officials — which include members of Mr. Bush’s cabinet and other senior officers — has reportedly formed a political action committee dubbed 43 Alumni for Biden. Mr. Bush was the 43rd president.

“We know what is normal and what is abnormal, and what we are seeing is highly abnormal. The president is a danger,” Jennifer Millikin, one of the 43 Alumni organizers, who worked on Bush’s 2004 re-election campaign and later in the General Services Administration, told Reuters.

The PAC said it expects to launch a website and Facebook page on Wednesday and will release testimonial videos that feature high-profile Republicans praising the former Vice President. The group also intends to hold “get-out-the-vote” efforts in battleground states, according to the publication.

Mr. Bush’s office said it has been informed about the upcoming efforts but is not involved in the campaign.

“This November, we are choosing country over party,” said Kristopher Purcell, a former communications official in the Bush administration. “We believe that a Biden administration will adhere to the rule of law… and restore dignity and integrity to the White House.”

— Snopes’ take on the ‘story’: (Bush’s peeps believe everything Snope)

On 29 March 2017, New York magazine published a story by investigative reporter Yashar Ali that cited three people who independently said they overheard former President George W. Bush walk away from 45th President Donald Trump’s 20 January 2017 inauguration ceremony, saying, “That was some weird shit”:

Bush’s endearing struggle with his poncho at the event quickly became a meme, prompting many Democrats on social media to admit that they already pined for the relative normalcy of his administration. Following Trump’s short and dire speech, Bush departed the scene and never offered public comment on the ceremony.

But, according to three people who were present, Bush gave a brief assessment of Trump’s inaugural after leaving the dais: “That was some weird shit.” All three heard him say it.

A spokesman for Bush declined to comment.

We have not received a response from Bush’s spokesman confirming or denying he made the comment, but Ali told us that he was tipped off by a source who overheard Bush’s offhand observation. Ali then called two other sources who he knew would have been there. Both independently confirmed they heard Bush say the phrase.
Ali told us:

The three sources were present and heard him say it. It was compacted and there were so many people on the dais, but if you’re leaving and walking back into the Capitol, there are a ton of people in the hallway, many of whom he knew.

Ali said he and his editors held off on the story for two months because “every day in this administration is so filled with news” and it was a relatively small news item; he was a bit taken aback by how much attention the quote has received. He said that he thought an investigative report he wrote about allegations that Trump’s deputy National Security Advisor K.T. McFarland misused campaign funds was a more important story.

But Bush’s alleged comments appeared to have captured the zeitgeist of the moment, with some posting on social media that if he had indeed made the comment, it captured their own sentiments:

• Working for the government should not mean selling your soul

Our Senior Editor dlh has often commented (lamented) the silence in the ranks of the FBI (and retirees) particularly with DC experience over all the abuses of the Obama administration including the Obama inspired and directed Russia-gate coup attempt against President Trump and the victimization of General Flynn along the way.

There is something in the Beltway, whether politician sent there, bureaucrat, mandarin or wannabe that breeds the presumption that they are special, that they run and should run the country, and that to be one of the cloth requires (indeed produces) a way of thinking, an addiction to and jealous protection of their sinecures, or pathetic fear of losing.

Elizabeth Vaughn writing today at RedState elaborates about the fear aspect demotivating so many from doing the right thing.  An instructive article.  Some additional comments of ours follow.

IRS Whistleblower Explains Why No One in the FBI or the DOJ Spoke up for General Flynn 

This may be the wrong question but how to reform it without inviting in cranks and the like?   Along with whistleblower protections that do not invite politicization, in a broader sense these would inure to the country’s benefit:

Reduce the size and scope of government of course, term limits for elected officials, drop civil service protection and government unions – patronage is not a risk or is a lesser risk if qualification and competition for jobs is maintained

LeBron Launches New Media Empire With $100M Investment, Intends To ‘Move The Culture’ 

NBA star LeBron James and one of his childhood friends launched a media company earlier this year “designed to move the culture.”

James and his business partner, Maverick Carter, launched SpringHill Co. on March 11, the same day that the NBA suspended its season because of the pandemic. The company launches with an initial $100 million in funding, Bloomberg reported on Thursday.

James will continue his career in professional basketball and work on company projects such as staring in “Space Jam: A New Legacy,” a movie set for release next year. The basketball star will also use his image to promote and guide the company, while Carter will be directly involved with the company’s operations.

“This is ultimately a company that’s about point of view, the community you serve, and empowerment,” said Los Angeles investment banker Paul Wachter, who aided James and Carter. “This is a company designed to move the culture.”
The company’s primary focus will be telling stories from the perspective of people of color in America.

“When we talk about storytelling, we want to be able to hit home, to hit a lot of homes where they feel like they can be a part of that story. And they feel like, Oh, you know what? I can relate to that. It’s very organic to our upbringing,” James said

James is outspoken on political issues, especially those related to the NBA and the black community in the United States. He is a supporter of Colin Kaepernick, a black former NFL quarterback who set off a wave of protests by kneeling during the Star Spangled Banner before football games in 2016 and early 2017.

“I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,” Kaepernick said at the time. He has not played for an NFL team since Jan. 1, 2017, after leading the San Francisco 49ers to a 2-14 season.

James has said the NFL should apologize to Kaepernick, “a man who basically sacrificed everything for the better of this world.” James has also alleged that black people are systemically discriminated against through law enforcement and voter suppression.

His outspoken stance on civil rights in the United States has earned him criticism as a hypocrite on matters relating to China. Last year, protests in Hong Kong against the creeping influence of China’s totalitarian government sparked a wave of support for the protesters in the U.S.

Houston Rockets’ General Manager Daryl Morey prompted backlash against the NBA from Chinese authorities when he tweeted support for Hong Kong protesters. James said Morey’s tweet was misinformed and an example of what “can happen when you’re not thinking about others and you’re only thinking about yourself.”
