The Durham Report finally revealed, as John Solomon explains:
Special Counsel John Durham released a damning final report Monday after more than three years investigating the Russia collusion probe, declaring the FBI had no verified intelligence or evidence when it opened the Crossfire Hurricane probe of President Donald Trump's campaign in the summer of 2016. The prosecutor, however, recommended no new criminal charges.
"Neither U.S. law enforcement nor the Intelligence Community appears to have possessed any actual evidence of collusion in their holdings at the commencement of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation," Durham wrote in a 300-plus page report sent to Congress and others and obtained by Just the News.
DOJ was slated to make the report public later Monday.
The prosecutor faulted the department and the FBI for failing to follow their own standards and allowing a probe to persist, including the surveillance of an American citizen, without basis under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
"Based on the review of Crossfire Hurricane and related intelligence activities, we concluded the Department and the FBI failed to uphold their important mission of strict fidelity to the law in connection with certain events and activities described in this report," Durham wrote.
I really hope that one day someone writes a lengthy, truthful account of the corruption that has gone on to keep Trump out of power. A hallmark of the Fourth Turning is, of course, trust in institutions breaking down.
Ordinarily, this would be bad for the Democrats, the FBI, the Twitter blue checks (like me), and the media who all hopped aboard The Big Lie - but we know the game by now, right? Nothing to see here, move along. Although even CNN had to report it, so there’s that.
We really need that nightly monologue from Tucker to put a period at the end of this sentence.
I went straight to PBS Newshour and was surprised to see their own staff reported on it. William Brangham opened with: "Durham was appointed by former Attorney General William Barr to look into what many on the right saw as a politically motivated witch hunt, but the report offered no significant new evidence to support those claims."
No new evidence? Not political?
He then goes on with: "Durham called their handling of parts of the investigation seriously deficient and wrote that investigators were too credible towards partisan actors,..."
That means the investigation was incompetent and politically influenced. His guest picks up the narrative and goes on about "there's nothing new here that others haven't talked about." Who would those "others" be? Certainly not William Brangham or anyone at Newshour and certainly not Devlin Barrett and his WashPo newsroom. Those others would be Trump, Rush, Hannity, Carlson, me, probably you, etc. Until they could not sustain it any longer (today), they've been absolutely high on the faith that Trump is a Russian agent and anyone that didn't come on board their HateTrain is a Putin troll and worse, an extremist MAGA Republican. They're such durn threats to our democracy.
It was all a hoax. A political dirty trick. Trump was right. One political dirty trick after another by the Lying Sacks of Shit Party. Every dirty trick spawns a spat of more dirty tricks to cover up the previous dirty trick. The current dirty trick might very well be dropping the investigations into Hunter Biden in return for changing his status to Confidential Human Source for the FBI, CIA, whoever. As it turns out, HB has been working undercover as a crackhead, sex fiend for years and developed exploitable relationships with criminals and corrupt politicians (but then I repeat myself, don't I?). HB is actually a superspy. That's why his pappa couldn't be prouder. Lemons into lemonade.
"It was all a hoax. A political dirty trick. Trump was right. One political dirty trick after another by the Lying Sacks of Shit Party. Every dirty trick spawns a spat of more dirty tricks to cover up the previous dirty trick. "
I absolutely agree. And I have one to add..
Did you ever see "The Sting"? (spoiler alert)
...
Remember how the mark doesn't even know he got conned? He think's he's escaping the raid, but the "crooked cop" was in on the scam too.
I say that's a lot like the way Fox settled the Dominion lawsuit out of court.... It gives people something to point at and say "See?" ... But it doesn't prove anything, it just keeps a lot of evidence from ever being seen by the public.
I wouldn't doubt that FOX was in cahoots with the steal, the whole damn time!
People make a big deal about the amount of the settlement. But the disbursement is never covered. What if the amount paid is spread over 30 years? That's nothing on an annual basis for Murdoch, and would allow Dominion to claim a great victory.
The Establishment was in on the con the whole time. McConnell, Ryan, and the cast of RINO's who were well aware of the scam and kept quiet while it played out. If you want to know who, look at Mitch's gang who he got to support the spending spree that made it through the senate after the last election.
Nice, I try to check out left wing sources sometimes as well. But my main concern is that the content i'm receiving is GOOD, and that's what I don't get from the left. I actually want my views to be challenged, just not in a stupid way. For instance I listened to The New Yorker Radio Hour podcast a few weeks back talking about Tucker Carlson, and one of the first sentences by Renmick was that Tucker broadcasts to 'angry white old people', or maybe it was angry white men. But that instantly puts me off, it's such a disgusting false smear. I mean it's so damn lazy and an obvious attack, why should I even listen to something like that? It's pathetic.
What a joke; 3 year investigation and tens of millions of USD spent on something we knew Day 1. FBI and CIA are traitors to the Constitution and USA. Same as Biden corruption; everyone has known for years they took bribes but didn’t report or prosecute. Stick a fork in it; Dems win 2024 and SHTF 2025. Hedge appropriately. I do appreciate the essay and comments here btw.
Sorry, but the 2-Party system is, like democracy, the worst form of government except for all the others. Multi-party systems give disproportionate power to the smaller parties, which is the opposite of democracy. For example, the Israelis have had fits for years with the ultra-orthodox party (whatever its name is) imposing religious laws that almost no Israelis want. Theory is one thing. Reality is another.
Agree. And look at some of the examples they give us; Santos on GOP side and Fetterman on Dem side ffs. Harris, Pence, etc Not sustainable for US to maintain world lead role with these idiots.
Supporting your party over doing the right thing. 🤦🏼♀️ I’m glad I left the progressives. At least with the imperfect conservatives I recognize that I have something worth preserving.
Tell me the ideals you support because all I see from the party in charge is a destruction of the middle class, a glorification of drug use, and crime, calling partners terrorists, telling young children to deny nature, our borders being overrun which means we are not a real nation nor are we safe in our homes, and a wedge being put between people because of the amount of melanin in their skin. Do you support these current ideals of the Democrat party?
I think they are fair and would be silly to argue against a) not wanting crony anything, b) not liking those who want to harm us, c) being good to the environment, d) right to bear arms under reasonable conditions, and e) theocracy in government. So you are either a closet conservative, an emerging libertarian, or a bad liberal. :D. Regardless, I like your style and comments. You don’t attack people and you do make others think of alternatives. Well done.
False equivalency, laws are enforced against GOP not DNC. This is 100x worse then Watergate. The DNC leadership (Clinton/Biden/Obama) should allocute or go to prison. Trump should have listened to his supporters; “lock her up” was the correct policy for the facts of our time. The Republic is on its last legs.
What should Trump go to prison for? Name the law, cite the USC code. Should he go to prison for the Veselnitskaya meeting? Or do you want him in prison because that's where you think he should be? Because he offends you personally? Is that who you would throw in prison? Someone whom you disagree with?
Thanks ChiyoChan, I too think FBI needs clean up on aisle 5. But if nobody is held criminally accountable then there’s no real clean up. What happens next is what matters. Trust won’t be restored for half of this country without a pound of flesh from FBI. What will James Comey have to say. That guy needs to pay a penalty, but will he? What about so many other Congressional voices who took cover/cues from no-truth FBI investigation and FISA court to amplify the Lie and delude mass sections of our citizenry. What about Hillary Clinton who paid for the dossier that launched this whole set of events. Revoking security clearances for all 51 signatures to Hunter laptop ‘Russian misinformation’ letter is also needed. This letter in part prevented a 2nd Trump term. Some really bad shit has gone down in our Republic, orchestrated by our Intelligence community and people are rightly pissed. There really is no Reconciliation without punishment for crimes committed. No punishment, and this country doesn’t start coming back together. Agree Biden is a horrible candidate. He’s a horrible POTUS too. Let’s see who Dems run as his VP because if Biden wins, he’s dead or incapacitated before his 2nd term ends so the vote is really for the VP (or who is perceived to be the VP’s puppet master). Agree also Trump needs to earn the vote and not be elected based on payback’ for how the 4th estate and Congress totally and utterly tried to destroy him since his surprise election in 2016. But I think it’s unrealistic/delusional to expect voters to forget about what all that has been done to rip down Trump, come election time. For Trump supporters, there is now lawsuit after lawsuit against the Orange Man to remind those supporters it’s ‘us vs. them’ and Trump is the Proxy
2 impeachments ChiyoChan resulted from this bullshit, that’s what of it. Loss of faith in our electoral process and a storming of Capital on Jan 6th. Bitter-ass polarization. Get a clue please
Yes, impeachment against Trump was wrong on so many levels. So was the impeachment some 20 years earlier the Republicans pressed against Clinton. Jan 6th events are results of the Durham report findings. People saw the election process as rigged/unfair because the FBI tried to frame and take down Trump, suppress Oct surprise damaging to basement-Biden, trot out a letter signed by 51 former high ranking Intel members, changing election laws. Despite all this, Pepperidge Farms remembers Trump ahead at midnight on 2020 election night, and a reversal when all awoke in the AM. Jan 6th would not have occurred if FBI, CIA and MSM were not first weaponized against Trump shortly after his improbable 2016 win. It’s all connected.
Agree with all except for the Bubba impeachment. Clinton did actually break a law and surrendered his law license. While I don't think the impeachment should have been pursued, it was far more valid than the Trump impeachments.
I don’t need you to admit Trump won in 2016, he did. After he won in 2016, a giant apparatus of bureaucratic government and MSM then went to work to plant and nurture a hoax that Trump was as an illegitimate POTUS. Then he tried to get re-elected in 2020. By that time he was completely stained and soiled by a big dirty political trick. And you have the gall to state 2020 was his own doing. Check your head please. Because I don’t know what kind of mental gymnastics it took you to say 2020 was Trump’s own doing and he lost. Losing respect for you bud, unless you have a convincing argument to lay out
The problem is that Democrats have control of the Executive Branch and the Senate. They're not going to do a damn thing. The media will ignore it and it will all be swept under the rug, unless Republicans regain control of all three branches next November.
I doubt it… the uniparty seems to be stronger. I’ve voted Republican for nearly 40 years, they left me a long time ago. It just took a while for me to get it through my patriotic skull. I am a Constitutional Conservative.
“This bill ensures that biological females compete against other biological females in women’s sports that are operated, sponsored, or facilitated by a recipient of federal funding,” adds the press release.
Here is The Thing. There are 2 and only 2 political parties that matter. The Democratic and The Republican. Al the other Don't matter. The DNC Applauds you for Not Voting Republican.
What You and Others I've seen/read are really engaging in political masturbation. Makes you feel good, but that's about it. The Republicans have Disappointment you. Welcome to The Real World, full of Real People.
Hi Steve, while I sincerely appreciate this bill, it was a completely safe one. Understand that I am not a neophyte in need of your or anyone else’s lecturing. I have been involved in the political world for most of my adult life and have seen, to a certain degree, 'how the sausage in made’. I didn’t say that I wouldn’t vote ‘Republican’, but I will make this decisions based on truth and honor and not 'party loyalty’.
The problem is that Democrats (The Left) have control of the Executive Branch and the Senate, News media, academe, entertainment, corporations, etc, etc.
Lets face it WE (The Right and the Awake Left) are The Counter Culture. Let you FREAK FLAG FLY!
Spending is not the issue, it's Congressional oversight and as long as Democrats control the Senate, there's little they can do except hold hearings and spout off.
Spending is power. Spending to fund agencies for example. When agencies refuse to fess up, they get defunded. That used to be "The Way". The Way got you answers. The R party passed a bill in the house last week. They have done their part and now the Senate needs to pass a bill they can get through. Then they can hash it out in committee. Basically the D party wants to take this to the brink thinking they can win.
Probably a good strategy in the past, but the media has changed. Nobody buys their nonsense. The R party can point to the fact that they passed something in the house LONG BEFORE the deadline and the D party in the Senate did nothing (big mistake). Nor did the President. Going to be interesting.
Except for one thing, bills have to be passed in both houses of Congress and signed by the president to go into effect. It's been the other way in the past. The only way Republicans can get a bill passed is to have enough Democrats to sign on to be able to block a veto.
Nothing will come of it. The entire federal government is just a group of criminals. Write any letters you want, blow the whistle all you want, vote for anybody you want - you'll just be ignored.
Indeed. The advent of vote harvesting takes it to an untouchable level. The huge 40% of the registered electorate who could care less is now harvested by the only people who have enough money to do it, they establishment. Zuck spent $400M to harvest the 110K votes that put Biden over the top. $3K per vote.
About 25.5 million new voters in 2020 compared to 2016. It's obvious Biden wasn't elected. He's a senile, hair sniffing, corrupt pervert that has run for president 3 times, and been demolished twice and barely squeaked by in the primaries in 2020.
He's supposedly, the most popular presidential candidate in all of US history, having fully 1 out of 4 AMERICANS (not registered voters, but just Americans) supposedly voting for him. We don't have a media, we have propaganda. It's blatantly obvious he wasn't elected.
But vote harder next time!!!! Every wonder why it's so difficult to verify the vote? Because if you verified the vote (which is simple to do, it's easy to audit it and trace chain of custody, very easy), but if you did, 1/2 of our "elected" officials wouldn't be in power.
Indeed. We hear all this talk about "our democracy" when in fact "our democracy" is really the political parties harvesting votes to get what they want. In the days of old, there were precinct people who did the harvesting and made sure you were voting "properly". Now we have people who come to your door with a ballot in hand and ask to help you fill it out "properly" and then can choose to either deliver the ballot, or lose it on the way to the polls (and then perhaps create another ballot that is "corrected". Zuck spent $400M on this in 2020 in just a few places to shift 110K votes to Biden to overcome those that had gone to Trump the last time.
This wasn't done by ballot harvesting. I'm sure that happened, but that's not how Biden was put into power.
We had a standard CIA coup. Same as Operation Ajax, PBSuccess, and most recently, Ukraine.
Intelligence agencies get groups to protest "the evil leader". This is was Antifa and BLM. They protest in cities where they won't be prosecuted because the DA is owned. This creates the impression that the "leader" is disliked to such a degree that riots are spontaneously forming, when in reality the groups are astroturf campaigns. If that doesn't work, they directly interfere in the election by tainting the balloting process, and if that doesn't work, they just do a direct coup.
I don't care how much money was spent, we didn't get a full 7% increase in in turnout in 2020 than we did in 2016. We don't have a republic. Voting doesn't matter.
Did anyone really expect the Democratic Party (who fought like tigers to keep slavery and Jim Crow) and their Deep State allies to behave any differently?
We live in an age of hypocricsy, double standards and lies. These are the defining qualities of our time. It is important to chronicle the corruption.
The report is a bombshell. The 300 pages detail the double standard for Trump and Hillary Clinton. There were serious questions to investigate about her activities yet those investigations froze.
Any normal practices, professionalism and basic honesty went out the window in their monomaniacle effort to get Trump in the greatest witch hunt of all time. The FBI was run in an absolutely corrupt fashion from start to finish absolutly unchecked in any overreach, yet no one will go to jail for this criminal activity.
Kevin Clinesmith committed felony forgery to materially alter an email to spy on an American in the absence of any other evidence. He was given 12 months of probation which shows how the corruption is tolerated.
o. This hypocrisy and double standards are clearly repeated consistently throughout the media in their coverage along party lines.
o. The IPCC has morphed from a scientific assessment of the climate science and policy options to an advocacy organization for extreme policies, riddled with errors. (See Roger Pilke Jr's Substack, The Honest Broker).
o. Women should have a zero tolerance for any sexual comment in the workplace or a bar, yet when a man restrains a menacing, threatening criminal on the subway, who presents a clear and present danger and ultimately dies, he should be charged with murder.
o. A child can not drink, drive, vote, or marry, yet can destroy his or her ability to have children with 'gender affirming' meds and surgery, frequently without even informing parents.
o. We have 'family friendly' drag shows for preschools
o. We have woke mobs who shout down US judges in law school, and occasionally riot without any arrests
o. We have prosecutors who let criminals run free on our streets, yet will charge a former president with a misdemeanor books and records violation after the statute of limitations has run out
o. We have an open border where illegal crossings have topped 10,000 in one day, over 2.3 million in one year yet the president, vice president and head of border control are not challenged with questions or held to account
o. We tolerate tent cities filled with crime and facilitate fentanyl abuse with free pipes and free money
It's time we made some changes. (Did I leave anything out? Please add in a reply.)
Our Declaration of Independence says, "That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed . . . " What happens when we no longer consent?
We knew the game when it was happening; 19 minutes after his inauguration - you should watch that great speech again - The Washington Post stated "The Campaign to Impeach Trump has begun."
WaPo is the favorite leak point of the FBI. No election interference or anything...
It goes back even farther. Recall there was a Google townhall shortly after Donald Trump was elected Sundar Pichai(?) "We are going to make sure THIS Never Happens Again." And there was Loud Applause as I recall.
It was a goof that they the idiots wrote a letter; Deep State secretly breaks the Constitution 24/7 and has for decades. They protect us in some ways and violate our rights in others.
"If the Russians were not reading her Emails in real time, I'd be embarrassed for them."
Michael Hayden (on Hillary's private Email Server)
There is a (former)Petty Officer sitting in a cell at Leavenworth because he took a picture inside a Los Angeles class submarine to show his fiends/family where he worked.
Of course. They were sure to drag it out long enough for the Statute of Limitations to eliminate any consequences. There are never consequences for them, only, as you say, "The little people" receive consequences.
Quote: "Neither U.S. law enforcement nor the Intelligence Community appears to have possessed any actual evidence of collusion in their holdings at the commencement of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation," Durham wrote in a 300-plus page report sent to Congress and others and obtained by Just the News.
I understand the need for "proof" and "actual evidence." I get that. But the DOJ is trying to throw a man in jail for 10 years for election interference over a meme. But if you want to talk election interference . . . here you go.
And as bad or worse than what they did to Trump is what they *didn't do* to the Clintons. The higher ups shut down investigations into both the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Campaign.
The FBI, from Comey on down through McCabe and operatives like Strzok, perpetrated the Russia Hoax in an effort to frame a sitting US President.
In a just world, the agency would be dissolved and all of those involved in deceiving the FISA Court and the public would be prosecuted, with significant time in prison for those convicted.
Consider: After Watergate, 40 government officials went to prison, including Haldeman, Erlichman, Dean, Hunt, Liddy, Colson, McCord and the former Attorney General of the US, John Mitchell, for a conspiracy far less brazen than this.
Which is why they will cheat again. To prevent Trump from winning, they will literally do *anything*------this is why I really don't want Trump to run/win the nomination. I want someone who is smart & stays on task & who doesn't care what's going on with social media. They all pat each other on the back that they prevented his win in 2020, while they jail the J6 protesters. The hypocrisy is stunning-----and yet, they will do it again bc they ALL still have TDS & he triggers them & their base instincts. I want the laser-sharp focus & determination of DeSantis. He is who they are actually afraid of.
This is one of those things that is easy to gloss over -- 'ah, more evidence of an unfair system.'
But this is actually much bigger than that when you think about it. The official investigator into this matter concluded that the FBI, and other intelligence agencies, opened an illegal investigation into a presidential candidate (and continued this after he became president). It's much, much bigger than Watergate, and the consequences are . . . nothing. He recommends no further prosecutions.
Even the prosecutions that were initiated by Durham were a farce. He prosecuted Sussman for deceiving the FBI?!?! Small wonder he didn't get a conviction. He just concluded the FBI was in on the act the whole time. He effectively prosecuted one co-conspirator for deceiving the other, then we're supposed to be astonished when he can't prove that co-conspirator #2 was beguiled.
And, that's what should be the marker here: It is not that this corruption occurred. It is that absolutely no one will be held accountable for it.
If you're trying to assess where we are in the Fourth Turning, that is the important point. Justice is no longer blind, and the Rule of Law no longer exists. There have been many other markers along the way, e.g., J6. But, this is the biggest marker thus far.
So much in the report, but not surprising to those reading real news sites for the past 6 years. This is Watergate on crack. But will anything happen? Seems only those who were targets of the attack or collateral damage were punished. Very discouraging. Our representatives in Washington DC are weak kneed, lily-livered, yellow-bellied, turncoats, when it comes to truly representing THE PEOPLE. Since the MSM doesn't hold the deep state to account, hopefully alternative media will continue to rise up. Maybe the internet will save us after all!!
Why isn’t the National Socialist media and the rest of the Fascist Far Left putting as much investigative effort into the obvious corruption of Beijing Biden as they did with the false ‘Russia collusion’ hoax?
It is really sad what has happened to our great nation. So they finally come clean. They confess that what we knew was right along was really true. And they say they have made changes now. Big deal. These traitors stole the election and installed a mentally deficient old man in the Whitehouse. I don't want to see acknowledgement of wrongdoing. I don't want to see changes. I want to see people arrested, tried and convicted. I want to see the FBI, CIA, DHS and other agencies who have declared that I am the enemy abolished. We may need the services they were formed to provide, but not when they are turned against Americans. Loving my country does not make me a terrorist!
In Cheyenne of all places. Check out the song Lights of Cheyenne by James McMurtry. About 10 years old now but a real commentary of what the American working class has spiritually become. After that, if you want, listen to Choctaw Bingo.
I agree, they will try their best to bury this. They know what they're doing and everybody knows they're lying. It's out in the open but they don't care.
Mc Murtry is a great songwriter- saw him at Gruene Hall 10 or so years ago. Maybe he’ll write something true about the tragedy this nation is becoming.
I hear you. Politically he is a captive of the Left. Being the child of professors can do that to you. Some of his stuff transcends neat political boxes like the tunes I mentioned. I hear he is tough to take on a personal level as well- I'm carrying rumors though. His lyrics are compelling and he touches me despite his political leanings. Blessings to you.
Yes - angry not-so-young man. (Thank God I got over them even though it took me awhile.:) I believe I first heard him at the Kerrville Folk Festival. Wonder if he's shifted politically since Covid like many left leaners did? Here's the song that hooked me then and has informed our politics then and now : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8h5VdIe33o
The diatribe above is a roadmap to the coming reaction by the left to the Durham report. It is a fevered attempt to relitigate Trump’s collusion with Russia. It sounds like it could have been manufactured by Adam Schiff’s press secretary.
Oh, and the reason I was posting here to begin with was to mention that the Durham Report was relegated to page 5 of the LA Times.
Operation Crossfire Hurricane and the Muller investigation cost $32 million. The Democrats should have to pay that back to the US Treasury. This is all old hat anyway. Byron York wote a book about the Muller investigation nearly 3 years ago. Durham, wanting to be thorough, has taken too long in his investigation. It will be much ado about nothing. The media will give it the Hunter Biden Laptop treatment. I am depressed.
P.S. The Rolling Stones should sue the Dems for naming this atrocity after a line from one of their songs.
The term "nothingburger" is overused, but it will applies here. Not that crimes weren't committed. Not that the FBI has been shown - again - as an out-of-control tool of tyranny in service to the Deep State. And not that the Department of "Justice" isn't corrupted to its core. All of this is true, and so much more (looking at you, media!)
But because the corruption was (1) done in service to the Deep State, and (2) done to attack Orange Man Bad, winks, nods, and looking the other way will be the orders of the day, week, month, and year. Durham does not even "recommend any wholesale changes in the guidelines and policies that the Department and the FBI now have in place to ensure proper conduct and accountability in how counterintelligence activities are carried out." In other words, nothing is to be done. And I'm sure the House will "investigate" the alphabet agencies - and like all their "investigations," this will lead to zero charges and zero changes.
The only way forward is to completely eliminate the entire federal "justice" system and start over.
It's clear as day that the FBI perpetrated the Russia collusion hoax without evidence to frame a sitting US President. Full stop. Short of assassination, this is as corrupt as government can get.
In a just world, the FBI would be dissolved (or restructured), and the perpetrators would be prosecuted and those convicted would serve prison terms. For Watergate, 40 government officials were indicted or jailed. John Erlichman, Bob Haldeman, John Dean, Howard Hunt. Gordon Liddy, Charles Colson, James McCord and former Attorney General of the US John Mitchell (for heaven's sake!) went to prison.
Today, for a conspiracy far more brazen, Comey, McCabe, Brennan, Strzok et al get lucrative book deals and cable news contracts.
And Jake Tapper, one of the media flunkies who promoted the lie, says, 'Whoopsie.'
You wrote, "We really need that nightly monologue from Tucker to put a period at the end of this sentence. " But there's this little issue: Will Tucker's conservative content be muzzled under the aegis of new Twitter CEO Linda Wokearino...a WEF disciple and overt vax hugger?
Sasha, have you seen the headline regarding US Virgin Islands seeking to subpoenaed Musk? Did he step too far out of line with TC? Has the WEF stepped in? Are the globalists firing a warning shot? Or is his past catching up to him? Hard to know…except I do not trust him.
The Virgin Islands, which are just that, a couple of tiny islands (I've spent time there) are governed by leftists. Their Congressional representative, who has no voting power, is one of the loudest in Congress about anything and everything smacking of freedom, particularly freedom of speech.
Googled to see what news coverage there is of this, and MSNBC was brazen, condescending, and patronizing the right while withholding the substance of the story. I don't follow mainstream news media (I trust the newsfeed at RealClearPolitics the most), so pardon how shocked I am of their handling this.
But I am hoping all the lies and spin come crashing back on them and others doing the same, and that the truth is seen for what it is.
IF memory serves those trials were held in Washington DC. It saddens me to say this, anyone who thinks that those trials were going to be Fair and the jury (DC being 95% Democrat) Unbiased, contact me, I've got a bridge in NY I can sell you...cheap.
In the last couple of years the majority opinion (Hope?) on The Right was that SOMETHING good would come out of this, that SOMEONE would be held accountable....for a change.
Any Democrat still deciding to support any of these traitors should be ashamed. Deep State filled with long-time politicians and long-time government bureaucrats have corrupted our government making it equal to a banana republic or 3rd world dictatorship. Our only hope is Trump 2024 especially since he scares them so.
I went straight to PBS Newshour and was surprised to see their own staff reported on it. William Brangham opened with: "Durham was appointed by former Attorney General William Barr to look into what many on the right saw as a politically motivated witch hunt, but the report offered no significant new evidence to support those claims."
No new evidence? Not political?
He then goes on with: "Durham called their handling of parts of the investigation seriously deficient and wrote that investigators were too credible towards partisan actors,..."
That means the investigation was incompetent and politically influenced. His guest picks up the narrative and goes on about "there's nothing new here that others haven't talked about." Who would those "others" be? Certainly not William Brangham or anyone at Newshour and certainly not Devlin Barrett and his WashPo newsroom. Those others would be Trump, Rush, Hannity, Carlson, me, probably you, etc. Until they could not sustain it any longer (today), they've been absolutely high on the faith that Trump is a Russian agent and anyone that didn't come on board their HateTrain is a Putin troll and worse, an extremist MAGA Republican. They're such durn threats to our democracy.
It was all a hoax. A political dirty trick. Trump was right. One political dirty trick after another by the Lying Sacks of Shit Party. Every dirty trick spawns a spat of more dirty tricks to cover up the previous dirty trick. The current dirty trick might very well be dropping the investigations into Hunter Biden in return for changing his status to Confidential Human Source for the FBI, CIA, whoever. As it turns out, HB has been working undercover as a crackhead, sex fiend for years and developed exploitable relationships with criminals and corrupt politicians (but then I repeat myself, don't I?). HB is actually a superspy. That's why his pappa couldn't be prouder. Lemons into lemonade.
"It was all a hoax. A political dirty trick. Trump was right. One political dirty trick after another by the Lying Sacks of Shit Party. Every dirty trick spawns a spat of more dirty tricks to cover up the previous dirty trick. "
I absolutely agree. And I have one to add..
Did you ever see "The Sting"? (spoiler alert)
...
Remember how the mark doesn't even know he got conned? He think's he's escaping the raid, but the "crooked cop" was in on the scam too.
I say that's a lot like the way Fox settled the Dominion lawsuit out of court.... It gives people something to point at and say "See?" ... But it doesn't prove anything, it just keeps a lot of evidence from ever being seen by the public.
I wouldn't doubt that FOX was in cahoots with the steal, the whole damn time!
To your point about FOX/Dominion: (P)MSNBC Anchor: "Who is going to control Tucker now?"
Exactly right about not entering the court discovery phase. I am so glad I turned Fox off years ago(except Tucka and Gutfeld via video).
People make a big deal about the amount of the settlement. But the disbursement is never covered. What if the amount paid is spread over 30 years? That's nothing on an annual basis for Murdoch, and would allow Dominion to claim a great victory.
The Establishment was in on the con the whole time. McConnell, Ryan, and the cast of RINO's who were well aware of the scam and kept quiet while it played out. If you want to know who, look at Mitch's gang who he got to support the spending spree that made it through the senate after the last election.
Nice, I try to check out left wing sources sometimes as well. But my main concern is that the content i'm receiving is GOOD, and that's what I don't get from the left. I actually want my views to be challenged, just not in a stupid way. For instance I listened to The New Yorker Radio Hour podcast a few weeks back talking about Tucker Carlson, and one of the first sentences by Renmick was that Tucker broadcasts to 'angry white old people', or maybe it was angry white men. But that instantly puts me off, it's such a disgusting false smear. I mean it's so damn lazy and an obvious attack, why should I even listen to something like that? It's pathetic.
"Lazy" is right, but worse, they have no respect for the public. They treat us as if we are their property to abuse and to dispose.
Yes, like we don't have a right to be heard. They wall themselves off from feedback.
relationships with criminals and corrupt politicians (but then I repeat myself, don't I
LOL!
What a joke; 3 year investigation and tens of millions of USD spent on something we knew Day 1. FBI and CIA are traitors to the Constitution and USA. Same as Biden corruption; everyone has known for years they took bribes but didn’t report or prosecute. Stick a fork in it; Dems win 2024 and SHTF 2025. Hedge appropriately. I do appreciate the essay and comments here btw.
Sorry, but the 2-Party system is, like democracy, the worst form of government except for all the others. Multi-party systems give disproportionate power to the smaller parties, which is the opposite of democracy. For example, the Israelis have had fits for years with the ultra-orthodox party (whatever its name is) imposing religious laws that almost no Israelis want. Theory is one thing. Reality is another.
Agree. And look at some of the examples they give us; Santos on GOP side and Fetterman on Dem side ffs. Harris, Pence, etc Not sustainable for US to maintain world lead role with these idiots.
Santos is just an accumulation of what passes for politicians on both parties. Lets not forget Uncle Joe and Menendez in there.
Democrats are based in criminality right down to the base. Orwellian media send all to memory hole.
Genius and fab businessman Peter Thiel said the democrats are 'evil'.....
Supporting your party over doing the right thing. 🤦🏼♀️ I’m glad I left the progressives. At least with the imperfect conservatives I recognize that I have something worth preserving.
Whatever does that mean? What ideals, exactly? The current disaster is the result of progressive ideals.
Tell me the ideals you support because all I see from the party in charge is a destruction of the middle class, a glorification of drug use, and crime, calling partners terrorists, telling young children to deny nature, our borders being overrun which means we are not a real nation nor are we safe in our homes, and a wedge being put between people because of the amount of melanin in their skin. Do you support these current ideals of the Democrat party?
I think they are fair and would be silly to argue against a) not wanting crony anything, b) not liking those who want to harm us, c) being good to the environment, d) right to bear arms under reasonable conditions, and e) theocracy in government. So you are either a closet conservative, an emerging libertarian, or a bad liberal. :D. Regardless, I like your style and comments. You don’t attack people and you do make others think of alternatives. Well done.
False equivalency, laws are enforced against GOP not DNC. This is 100x worse then Watergate. The DNC leadership (Clinton/Biden/Obama) should allocute or go to prison. Trump should have listened to his supporters; “lock her up” was the correct policy for the facts of our time. The Republic is on its last legs.
What should Trump go to prison for? Name the law, cite the USC code. Should he go to prison for the Veselnitskaya meeting? Or do you want him in prison because that's where you think he should be? Because he offends you personally? Is that who you would throw in prison? Someone whom you disagree with?
See: Adolph Hitler - Joseph Stalin - ChiyoChan
You are delusional on this one
Thanks ChiyoChan, I too think FBI needs clean up on aisle 5. But if nobody is held criminally accountable then there’s no real clean up. What happens next is what matters. Trust won’t be restored for half of this country without a pound of flesh from FBI. What will James Comey have to say. That guy needs to pay a penalty, but will he? What about so many other Congressional voices who took cover/cues from no-truth FBI investigation and FISA court to amplify the Lie and delude mass sections of our citizenry. What about Hillary Clinton who paid for the dossier that launched this whole set of events. Revoking security clearances for all 51 signatures to Hunter laptop ‘Russian misinformation’ letter is also needed. This letter in part prevented a 2nd Trump term. Some really bad shit has gone down in our Republic, orchestrated by our Intelligence community and people are rightly pissed. There really is no Reconciliation without punishment for crimes committed. No punishment, and this country doesn’t start coming back together. Agree Biden is a horrible candidate. He’s a horrible POTUS too. Let’s see who Dems run as his VP because if Biden wins, he’s dead or incapacitated before his 2nd term ends so the vote is really for the VP (or who is perceived to be the VP’s puppet master). Agree also Trump needs to earn the vote and not be elected based on payback’ for how the 4th estate and Congress totally and utterly tried to destroy him since his surprise election in 2016. But I think it’s unrealistic/delusional to expect voters to forget about what all that has been done to rip down Trump, come election time. For Trump supporters, there is now lawsuit after lawsuit against the Orange Man to remind those supporters it’s ‘us vs. them’ and Trump is the Proxy
2 impeachments ChiyoChan resulted from this bullshit, that’s what of it. Loss of faith in our electoral process and a storming of Capital on Jan 6th. Bitter-ass polarization. Get a clue please
Yes, impeachment against Trump was wrong on so many levels. So was the impeachment some 20 years earlier the Republicans pressed against Clinton. Jan 6th events are results of the Durham report findings. People saw the election process as rigged/unfair because the FBI tried to frame and take down Trump, suppress Oct surprise damaging to basement-Biden, trot out a letter signed by 51 former high ranking Intel members, changing election laws. Despite all this, Pepperidge Farms remembers Trump ahead at midnight on 2020 election night, and a reversal when all awoke in the AM. Jan 6th would not have occurred if FBI, CIA and MSM were not first weaponized against Trump shortly after his improbable 2016 win. It’s all connected.
Agree with all except for the Bubba impeachment. Clinton did actually break a law and surrendered his law license. While I don't think the impeachment should have been pursued, it was far more valid than the Trump impeachments.
"High crimes and misdemeanors are crimes and misdemeanors like a shoe tree is a tree."--Raoul Berger
Lying under oath about a BJ is a crime. It is very much a stretch to say it is impeachable. None of them were valid, really.
Think of how many interns didn't have to be diddled by the former President.
I don’t need you to admit Trump won in 2016, he did. After he won in 2016, a giant apparatus of bureaucratic government and MSM then went to work to plant and nurture a hoax that Trump was as an illegitimate POTUS. Then he tried to get re-elected in 2020. By that time he was completely stained and soiled by a big dirty political trick. And you have the gall to state 2020 was his own doing. Check your head please. Because I don’t know what kind of mental gymnastics it took you to say 2020 was Trump’s own doing and he lost. Losing respect for you bud, unless you have a convincing argument to lay out
Keep talking Chiyo, your lame points are further validating the opposing view.
Yes, because the media suppress stories for no actual reason right?
The problem is that Democrats have control of the Executive Branch and the Senate. They're not going to do a damn thing. The media will ignore it and it will all be swept under the rug, unless Republicans regain control of all three branches next November.
I doubt it… the uniparty seems to be stronger. I’ve voted Republican for nearly 40 years, they left me a long time ago. It just took a while for me to get it through my patriotic skull. I am a Constitutional Conservative.
The Uniparty?

_____________________________________________________________________
Here is The Thing. There are 2 and only 2 political parties that matter. The Democratic and The Republican. Al the other Don't matter. The DNC Applauds you for Not Voting Republican.
What You and Others I've seen/read are really engaging in political masturbation. Makes you feel good, but that's about it. The Republicans have Disappointment you. Welcome to The Real World, full of Real People.
/rant #39,812
Hi Steve, while I sincerely appreciate this bill, it was a completely safe one. Understand that I am not a neophyte in need of your or anyone else’s lecturing. I have been involved in the political world for most of my adult life and have seen, to a certain degree, 'how the sausage in made’. I didn’t say that I wouldn’t vote ‘Republican’, but I will make this decisions based on truth and honor and not 'party loyalty’.
You've still got one of the furthest left of all in Congress. The woman might as well come right out and say she's communist.
The problem is that Democrats (The Left) have control of the Executive Branch and the Senate, News media, academe, entertainment, corporations, etc, etc.
Lets face it WE (The Right and the Awake Left) are The Counter Culture. Let you FREAK FLAG FLY!
They have a lot of power. The question is whether or not they decide to use it. All spending must originate in the house.
Spending is not the issue, it's Congressional oversight and as long as Democrats control the Senate, there's little they can do except hold hearings and spout off.
Spending is power. Spending to fund agencies for example. When agencies refuse to fess up, they get defunded. That used to be "The Way". The Way got you answers. The R party passed a bill in the house last week. They have done their part and now the Senate needs to pass a bill they can get through. Then they can hash it out in committee. Basically the D party wants to take this to the brink thinking they can win.
Probably a good strategy in the past, but the media has changed. Nobody buys their nonsense. The R party can point to the fact that they passed something in the house LONG BEFORE the deadline and the D party in the Senate did nothing (big mistake). Nor did the President. Going to be interesting.
Except for one thing, bills have to be passed in both houses of Congress and signed by the president to go into effect. It's been the other way in the past. The only way Republicans can get a bill passed is to have enough Democrats to sign on to be able to block a veto.
Exactly. But Joe has been known to deal. A lot of D Senators are on the hot seat in the next election. We will see what happens.
Nothing will come of it. The entire federal government is just a group of criminals. Write any letters you want, blow the whistle all you want, vote for anybody you want - you'll just be ignored.
Government will never reform. They don't care.
And why should they? They have never had to pay a price for their malfeasance.
Indeed. The advent of vote harvesting takes it to an untouchable level. The huge 40% of the registered electorate who could care less is now harvested by the only people who have enough money to do it, they establishment. Zuck spent $400M to harvest the 110K votes that put Biden over the top. $3K per vote.
Biden wasn't elected.
In 2016, this was the vote count:
Donald Trump: 62,984,828
Hillary Clinton: 65,853,514.00
Total voters: 155,507,476
In 2020 it was:
Joe Biden: 81,283,501
Donald Trump: 74,223,975.00
Total votes: 128,838,342
About 25.5 million new voters in 2020 compared to 2016. It's obvious Biden wasn't elected. He's a senile, hair sniffing, corrupt pervert that has run for president 3 times, and been demolished twice and barely squeaked by in the primaries in 2020.
He's supposedly, the most popular presidential candidate in all of US history, having fully 1 out of 4 AMERICANS (not registered voters, but just Americans) supposedly voting for him. We don't have a media, we have propaganda. It's blatantly obvious he wasn't elected.
But vote harder next time!!!! Every wonder why it's so difficult to verify the vote? Because if you verified the vote (which is simple to do, it's easy to audit it and trace chain of custody, very easy), but if you did, 1/2 of our "elected" officials wouldn't be in power.
Indeed. We hear all this talk about "our democracy" when in fact "our democracy" is really the political parties harvesting votes to get what they want. In the days of old, there were precinct people who did the harvesting and made sure you were voting "properly". Now we have people who come to your door with a ballot in hand and ask to help you fill it out "properly" and then can choose to either deliver the ballot, or lose it on the way to the polls (and then perhaps create another ballot that is "corrected". Zuck spent $400M on this in 2020 in just a few places to shift 110K votes to Biden to overcome those that had gone to Trump the last time.
No.
This wasn't done by ballot harvesting. I'm sure that happened, but that's not how Biden was put into power.
We had a standard CIA coup. Same as Operation Ajax, PBSuccess, and most recently, Ukraine.
Intelligence agencies get groups to protest "the evil leader". This is was Antifa and BLM. They protest in cities where they won't be prosecuted because the DA is owned. This creates the impression that the "leader" is disliked to such a degree that riots are spontaneously forming, when in reality the groups are astroturf campaigns. If that doesn't work, they directly interfere in the election by tainting the balloting process, and if that doesn't work, they just do a direct coup.
I don't care how much money was spent, we didn't get a full 7% increase in in turnout in 2020 than we did in 2016. We don't have a republic. Voting doesn't matter.
Too much money at stake to leave things to chance. Nice how the major networks employ spooks to give us their opinions.
Did anyone really expect the Democratic Party (who fought like tigers to keep slavery and Jim Crow) and their Deep State allies to behave any differently?
Lets not forget our Establishment RINO's who let it all happen without even a peep.
We live in an age of hypocricsy, double standards and lies. These are the defining qualities of our time. It is important to chronicle the corruption.
The report is a bombshell. The 300 pages detail the double standard for Trump and Hillary Clinton. There were serious questions to investigate about her activities yet those investigations froze.
Any normal practices, professionalism and basic honesty went out the window in their monomaniacle effort to get Trump in the greatest witch hunt of all time. The FBI was run in an absolutely corrupt fashion from start to finish absolutly unchecked in any overreach, yet no one will go to jail for this criminal activity.
Kevin Clinesmith committed felony forgery to materially alter an email to spy on an American in the absence of any other evidence. He was given 12 months of probation which shows how the corruption is tolerated.
o. This hypocrisy and double standards are clearly repeated consistently throughout the media in their coverage along party lines.
o. The IPCC has morphed from a scientific assessment of the climate science and policy options to an advocacy organization for extreme policies, riddled with errors. (See Roger Pilke Jr's Substack, The Honest Broker).
o. Women should have a zero tolerance for any sexual comment in the workplace or a bar, yet when a man restrains a menacing, threatening criminal on the subway, who presents a clear and present danger and ultimately dies, he should be charged with murder.
o. A child can not drink, drive, vote, or marry, yet can destroy his or her ability to have children with 'gender affirming' meds and surgery, frequently without even informing parents.
o. We have 'family friendly' drag shows for preschools
o. We have woke mobs who shout down US judges in law school, and occasionally riot without any arrests
o. We have prosecutors who let criminals run free on our streets, yet will charge a former president with a misdemeanor books and records violation after the statute of limitations has run out
o. We have an open border where illegal crossings have topped 10,000 in one day, over 2.3 million in one year yet the president, vice president and head of border control are not challenged with questions or held to account
o. We tolerate tent cities filled with crime and facilitate fentanyl abuse with free pipes and free money
It's time we made some changes. (Did I leave anything out? Please add in a reply.)
Our Declaration of Independence says, "That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed . . . " What happens when we no longer consent?
Election time.
Get involved.
Volunteer.
Be the change
And if elections no longer work, it's time for revolution.
We knew the game when it was happening; 19 minutes after his inauguration - you should watch that great speech again - The Washington Post stated "The Campaign to Impeach Trump has begun."
WaPo is the favorite leak point of the FBI. No election interference or anything...
Grateful for your turning, Sasha.
It goes back even farther. Recall there was a Google townhall shortly after Donald Trump was elected Sundar Pichai(?) "We are going to make sure THIS Never Happens Again." And there was Loud Applause as I recall.
Yes sir
Russian collusion was a criminal conspiracy. Can you name any comparable event in history?
It was a goof that they the idiots wrote a letter; Deep State secretly breaks the Constitution 24/7 and has for decades. They protect us in some ways and violate our rights in others.
Crossfire Hurricane participants should face prison or firing squad.
US history, not communist or third world history.
Nothing will be done. Only "the little people" can be held accountable.
"If the Russians were not reading her Emails in real time, I'd be embarrassed for them."
Michael Hayden (on Hillary's private Email Server)
There is a (former)Petty Officer sitting in a cell at Leavenworth because he took a picture inside a Los Angeles class submarine to show his fiends/family where he worked.
Of course. They were sure to drag it out long enough for the Statute of Limitations to eliminate any consequences. There are never consequences for them, only, as you say, "The little people" receive consequences.
Be very afraid - our government is plotting against us
Are we supposed to be surprised?
If you think any real consequences will EVER be meted out to those responsible, I’ve got some bridges for sale.
I read this morning Republicans are considering holding Blinken in contempt. Whew, boy, that’ll show him!
Quit trying to play be the rules and shame the left. Neither one matters to the them, only winning and power.
Quote: "Neither U.S. law enforcement nor the Intelligence Community appears to have possessed any actual evidence of collusion in their holdings at the commencement of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation," Durham wrote in a 300-plus page report sent to Congress and others and obtained by Just the News.
I understand the need for "proof" and "actual evidence." I get that. But the DOJ is trying to throw a man in jail for 10 years for election interference over a meme. But if you want to talk election interference . . . here you go.
And as bad or worse than what they did to Trump is what they *didn't do* to the Clintons. The higher ups shut down investigations into both the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Campaign.
The FBI, from Comey on down through McCabe and operatives like Strzok, perpetrated the Russia Hoax in an effort to frame a sitting US President.
In a just world, the agency would be dissolved and all of those involved in deceiving the FISA Court and the public would be prosecuted, with significant time in prison for those convicted.
Consider: After Watergate, 40 government officials went to prison, including Haldeman, Erlichman, Dean, Hunt, Liddy, Colson, McCord and the former Attorney General of the US, John Mitchell, for a conspiracy far less brazen than this.
This important report may be meaningless, unless Trump gets elected in 2024.
Any Republican president would be crazy if he didn’t quickly gut the FBI, the CIA, and the DOJ, for starters.
Which is why they will cheat again. To prevent Trump from winning, they will literally do *anything*------this is why I really don't want Trump to run/win the nomination. I want someone who is smart & stays on task & who doesn't care what's going on with social media. They all pat each other on the back that they prevented his win in 2020, while they jail the J6 protesters. The hypocrisy is stunning-----and yet, they will do it again bc they ALL still have TDS & he triggers them & their base instincts. I want the laser-sharp focus & determination of DeSantis. He is who they are actually afraid of.
This is one of those things that is easy to gloss over -- 'ah, more evidence of an unfair system.'
But this is actually much bigger than that when you think about it. The official investigator into this matter concluded that the FBI, and other intelligence agencies, opened an illegal investigation into a presidential candidate (and continued this after he became president). It's much, much bigger than Watergate, and the consequences are . . . nothing. He recommends no further prosecutions.
Even the prosecutions that were initiated by Durham were a farce. He prosecuted Sussman for deceiving the FBI?!?! Small wonder he didn't get a conviction. He just concluded the FBI was in on the act the whole time. He effectively prosecuted one co-conspirator for deceiving the other, then we're supposed to be astonished when he can't prove that co-conspirator #2 was beguiled.
And, that's what should be the marker here: It is not that this corruption occurred. It is that absolutely no one will be held accountable for it.
If you're trying to assess where we are in the Fourth Turning, that is the important point. Justice is no longer blind, and the Rule of Law no longer exists. There have been many other markers along the way, e.g., J6. But, this is the biggest marker thus far.
So much in the report, but not surprising to those reading real news sites for the past 6 years. This is Watergate on crack. But will anything happen? Seems only those who were targets of the attack or collateral damage were punished. Very discouraging. Our representatives in Washington DC are weak kneed, lily-livered, yellow-bellied, turncoats, when it comes to truly representing THE PEOPLE. Since the MSM doesn't hold the deep state to account, hopefully alternative media will continue to rise up. Maybe the internet will save us after all!!
By The Standards Democrats Applied To Trump, Joe Biden Is A Traitor
https://thefederalist.com/2023/05/15/by-the-standards-democrats-applied-to-trump-joe-biden-is-a-traitor/
Why isn’t the National Socialist media and the rest of the Fascist Far Left putting as much investigative effort into the obvious corruption of Beijing Biden as they did with the false ‘Russia collusion’ hoax?
It is really sad what has happened to our great nation. So they finally come clean. They confess that what we knew was right along was really true. And they say they have made changes now. Big deal. These traitors stole the election and installed a mentally deficient old man in the Whitehouse. I don't want to see acknowledgement of wrongdoing. I don't want to see changes. I want to see people arrested, tried and convicted. I want to see the FBI, CIA, DHS and other agencies who have declared that I am the enemy abolished. We may need the services they were formed to provide, but not when they are turned against Americans. Loving my country does not make me a terrorist!
Keep in mind that the Democrats are turning the government against the people with their own version of the Gestapo:

Hey Sasha
In Cheyenne of all places. Check out the song Lights of Cheyenne by James McMurtry. About 10 years old now but a real commentary of what the American working class has spiritually become. After that, if you want, listen to Choctaw Bingo.
I agree, they will try their best to bury this. They know what they're doing and everybody knows they're lying. It's out in the open but they don't care.
Mc Murtry is a great songwriter- saw him at Gruene Hall 10 or so years ago. Maybe he’ll write something true about the tragedy this nation is becoming.
Hey Glenda
I hear you. Politically he is a captive of the Left. Being the child of professors can do that to you. Some of his stuff transcends neat political boxes like the tunes I mentioned. I hear he is tough to take on a personal level as well- I'm carrying rumors though. His lyrics are compelling and he touches me despite his political leanings. Blessings to you.
Yes - angry not-so-young man. (Thank God I got over them even though it took me awhile.:) I believe I first heard him at the Kerrville Folk Festival. Wonder if he's shifted politically since Covid like many left leaners did? Here's the song that hooked me then and has informed our politics then and now : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8h5VdIe33o
Great call on McMurtry , Richard Stecker. He's one of the great song poets of our time, but relatively little known.
I agree with your obvious cultured and discerning musical tastes Pacificus. So few of us left 😄.
The diatribe above is a roadmap to the coming reaction by the left to the Durham report. It is a fevered attempt to relitigate Trump’s collusion with Russia. It sounds like it could have been manufactured by Adam Schiff’s press secretary.
Oh, and the reason I was posting here to begin with was to mention that the Durham Report was relegated to page 5 of the LA Times.
Operation Crossfire Hurricane and the Muller investigation cost $32 million. The Democrats should have to pay that back to the US Treasury. This is all old hat anyway. Byron York wote a book about the Muller investigation nearly 3 years ago. Durham, wanting to be thorough, has taken too long in his investigation. It will be much ado about nothing. The media will give it the Hunter Biden Laptop treatment. I am depressed.
P.S. The Rolling Stones should sue the Dems for naming this atrocity after a line from one of their songs.
All it did was Confirm or Reconfirm, or Rereconfirm everything The Right has been saying for years.
Comment at The Right Reasons (https://www.therightreasons.net/topic/105457-breaking-john-durham%E2%80%99s-years-long-investigation-into-trump-russia-collusion-investigators-is-over/)
"Special counsel John Durham’s report on his investigation into the investigators of Trump-Russia collusion during the 2016 election is finished.
And so what????? What are the consequences??? What a crock."
"And so what????? What are the consequences??? What a crock.
As Long As Grand Pa is sitting (napping) in the Oval Office...Nothing."
Yes. Another one of "Trump's lies" that weren't.
The term "nothingburger" is overused, but it will applies here. Not that crimes weren't committed. Not that the FBI has been shown - again - as an out-of-control tool of tyranny in service to the Deep State. And not that the Department of "Justice" isn't corrupted to its core. All of this is true, and so much more (looking at you, media!)
But because the corruption was (1) done in service to the Deep State, and (2) done to attack Orange Man Bad, winks, nods, and looking the other way will be the orders of the day, week, month, and year. Durham does not even "recommend any wholesale changes in the guidelines and policies that the Department and the FBI now have in place to ensure proper conduct and accountability in how counterintelligence activities are carried out." In other words, nothing is to be done. And I'm sure the House will "investigate" the alphabet agencies - and like all their "investigations," this will lead to zero charges and zero changes.
The only way forward is to completely eliminate the entire federal "justice" system and start over.
yeah, whatever damning points Durham may have made, bottom line is that his "report" is a whitewash and cover up. Deep State wins again.
As If being the slave masters wasn’t enough. The Democrat party continues to destroy America in every possible way.
It's clear as day that the FBI perpetrated the Russia collusion hoax without evidence to frame a sitting US President. Full stop. Short of assassination, this is as corrupt as government can get.
In a just world, the FBI would be dissolved (or restructured), and the perpetrators would be prosecuted and those convicted would serve prison terms. For Watergate, 40 government officials were indicted or jailed. John Erlichman, Bob Haldeman, John Dean, Howard Hunt. Gordon Liddy, Charles Colson, James McCord and former Attorney General of the US John Mitchell (for heaven's sake!) went to prison.
Today, for a conspiracy far more brazen, Comey, McCabe, Brennan, Strzok et al get lucrative book deals and cable news contracts.
And Jake Tapper, one of the media flunkies who promoted the lie, says, 'Whoopsie.'
Happy travels Ms Sasha!
Nice summation, Godspeed on your Journey.
You wrote, "We really need that nightly monologue from Tucker to put a period at the end of this sentence. " But there's this little issue: Will Tucker's conservative content be muzzled under the aegis of new Twitter CEO Linda Wokearino...a WEF disciple and overt vax hugger?
This report will change every Trump hater's mind about Trump being a Russian asset... BWAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!
Sasha, have you seen the headline regarding US Virgin Islands seeking to subpoenaed Musk? Did he step too far out of line with TC? Has the WEF stepped in? Are the globalists firing a warning shot? Or is his past catching up to him? Hard to know…except I do not trust him.
The Virgin Islands, which are just that, a couple of tiny islands (I've spent time there) are governed by leftists. Their Congressional representative, who has no voting power, is one of the loudest in Congress about anything and everything smacking of freedom, particularly freedom of speech.
She was like a banshee during the Weaponization and Twitter File hearing.
Obnoxious is word I would choose.
Kind of like a proxy war, eh?
Proxy War? Take a look at Crisis Pregnancy Centers, being firebombed.
I meant using a non- voting member of the US Virgin Islands. Yes, I hear you… the domestic terror tactics are a form of warfare.
Do you have a Link? Thanks.
Here’s one. I had read it on Fox online yesterday, but appears to have been taken down. https://www.reuters.com/legal/us-virgin-islands-subpoenaed-elon-musk-jeffrey-epstein-litigation-2023-05-15/

As a side note, does anyone know why Al Jazeera is reporting on this:
Ukraine repels ‘exceptional’ Russia missile, drone attack on Kyiv
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/5/16/air-raid-alerts-sound-across-ukraine-kyiv-repels-missile-attack
while our media is reporting on a light beer commercial?
just asking.
re the FBI basing investigative decisions on politics, they did it because they could.
need to fix this.
Imagine my surprise.
Googled to see what news coverage there is of this, and MSNBC was brazen, condescending, and patronizing the right while withholding the substance of the story. I don't follow mainstream news media (I trust the newsfeed at RealClearPolitics the most), so pardon how shocked I am of their handling this.
But I am hoping all the lies and spin come crashing back on them and others doing the same, and that the truth is seen for what it is.

IF memory serves those trials were held in Washington DC. It saddens me to say this, anyone who thinks that those trials were going to be Fair and the jury (DC being 95% Democrat) Unbiased, contact me, I've got a bridge in NY I can sell you...cheap.
In the last couple of years the majority opinion (Hope?) on The Right was that SOMETHING good would come out of this, that SOMEONE would be held accountable....for a change.
True. Citing DC decisions (or NY) as persuasive must be taken with a pound of salt.
Any Democrat still deciding to support any of these traitors should be ashamed. Deep State filled with long-time politicians and long-time government bureaucrats have corrupted our government making it equal to a banana republic or 3rd world dictatorship. Our only hope is Trump 2024 especially since he scares them so.
Ruth, all too many of today's Dems have no shame.
