As liberals scream at the top of their lungs that Clinton and her cronies are being given an unfair shake over the Durham filings, they seem to forget how much they lied about Trump and Russia and how hard they pushed those lies?
He decides (outside any specific FBI orders or any warrants) to monitor the IP addresses of Donald Trump's business, his personal residence, and later the White House. He does so (admittedly) for purposes of digging up dirt for the Clinton campaign. He claims that his security clearance provided him the legal access and admits fully that he expected Clinton to win and that he had been offered the top cybersecurity spot in the Clinton administration if she had won. He also admits that he would not have been given that same job in a Trump administration.
So we have a guy already working in the FBI with access to important information wanted by the Clinton campaign. We have the Clinton campaign offering that guy a top job in their administration. I think it would be naive at best to claim that there was not a connection here.
Now whether or not this particular situation (the specific monitoring of IP addresses of a person's residence, a person's workplace, and that person's family businesses) should or should not be labeled as "spying" is nothing more than a semantic debate. Personally I could go either way on this, but in 2016 if you are attempting to monitor (without warrant) someone's computer activity, it might be called spying by many people. In fact, I believe that we actually have a term for computer hacking software and that term is literally "spyware".
So is the term "spying" that far off the mark? Not really. Most certainly this situation is vastly closer to spying than anything Trump ever did regarding Russia that warranted the term "collusion" or "conspiracy". When you can determine that hiring a campaign manager that works with Ukrainians is "russian collusion" then you can demand that someone monitoring IP address activities at three different locations for the same person as "spying".
But either way... the fact that liberals are peeing their pants and breaking out in hives over this is amusing to say the least. You have to wonder how many suicides and mental institutional stays would have taken place with liberals had they actually been on the wrong side of the "Russian collusion" fiasco.

Would AOC be too young to run for president in 2024?
Answer: No.
The Deep Staters have been caught according to you and Trump etc.
The usual suspects are already circling the wagons around the techie “experts” who spied on Donald Trump. If their defense feels tired, it’s because we’ve been through it before. It’s Christopher Steele all over again.
Special counsel John Durham destroyed the last shreds of Mr. Steele’s credibility last year, proving that the paid-for-hire spook had relied on fabrications for the infamous dossier the Federal Bureau of Investigation used in its Trump probe. The special counsel is now dismantling that other big claim of Trump-Russia “collusion” — the Alfa Bank narrative. The wonder is that the press and others are stepping up for another humiliation — when the disturbing actions of the creators of the Alfa narrative are already so easy to document, and in their own words.
...there's a good reason that most media outlets — Fox News aside — are "debunking" claims of spying, to use Clinton's term.
As the Times reports, the narrative promoted by Trump and his supporters "appeared to be mostly wrong or old news" and is "based on a misleading presentation of the facts or outright misinformation."
Durham never used the word "infiltrate," for example, and never claimed Joffe's company was paid by the Clinton campaign.
Futhermore, "the filing never said the White House data that came under scrutiny was from the Trump era," the Times report adds, citing an expert who said the data came from the presidency of Barack Obama.
A spokesperson for Joffe told the Times the allegations in Durham's filing are untrue, emphasizing that he was a non-political actor who was granted lawful access to data based on contracts in order to keep an eye out for security breaches and other threats.
Wisconsin Republicans want to reinstate Donald Trump as President.
Wisconsin is closer to the next federal election than the last, but the Republican effort to overturn the election results here is picking up steam rather than fading away — and spiraling further from reality as it goes. The latest turn, which has been fueled by Mr. Trump, bogus legal theories and a new candidate for governor, is creating chaos in the Republican Party and threatening to undermine its push to win the contests this year for governor and the Senate.
The situation in Wisconsin may be the most striking example of the struggle by Republican leaders to hold together their party when many of its most animated voters simply will not accept the reality of Mr. Trump’
In Wisconsin, Robin Vos, the Assembly speaker who has allowed vague theories about fraud to spread unchecked, is now struggling to rein them in. Even Mr. Vos’s careful attempts have turned election deniers sharply against him.
“This is a real issue,” said Timothy Ramthun, the Republican state representative who has turned his push to decertify the election into a nascent campaign for governor. Mr. Ramthun has asserted that if the Wisconsin Legislature decertifies the results and rescinds the state’s 10 electoral votes — an action with no basis in state or federal law — it could set off a movement that would oust President Biden from office.
“We don’t wear tinfoil hats,” he said. “We’re not fringe.”
Wisconsin has the nation’s most active decertification effort. In Arizona, a Republican state legislator running for secretary of state along with candidates for Congress have called for recalling the state’s electoral votes. In September, Mr. Trump wrote a letter to Georgia officials asking them to decertify Mr. Biden’s victory there, but no organized effort materialized.
In Wisconsin, the decertification push has turned Republican politics on its head. After more than a decade of Republican leaders marching in lock-step with their base, the party is hobbled by infighting and it’s Democrats who are aligned behind Gov. Tony Evers, who is seeking a second term in November.
“Republicans now are arguing over whether we want democracy or not,” Mr. Evers said in an interview on Friday.
Mr. Ramthun, a 64-year-old lawmaker who lives in a village of 2,000 people an hour northwest of Milwaukee, has ridden his decertification push to become a sudden folk hero to the party’s Trump wing. Stephen K. Bannon, Mr. Trump’s former adviser, has hosted Mr. Ramthun on his podcast. At party events, he shows off a 72-page presentation in which he claims, falsely, that legislators have the power to declare Wisconsin’s election results invalid and recall the state’s electoral votes.

But decertification of our election system doesn't bother you Scott.
A spokesperson for Joffe told the Times the allegations in Durham's filing are untrue, emphasizing that he was a non-political actor who was granted lawful access to data based on contracts in order to keep an eye out for security breaches and other threats.
Well there you go.
If a spokesman for someone being investigated says that the allegations are untrue...
Well that is good enough for the Reverend?
A number of spokesman for Trump say he didn't go anything wrong either.
You must also believe that, correct?
In the Dante Wright case it’s a tragedy but I do think the right sentence was given . The Officer did not shoot him on purpose she thought she was tazing him at that time and she had every right to taze him . He was trying to resist arrest . Since when is it ok to resist arrest and not suffer consequences? . Why would she ruin her career and go to jail and go through all of this craziness? Not all cops are at fault . That’s the problem today now, if anything like this happens it’s always the cops fault . Why did he try and get in his car and drive off ? No matter what the reason for the stop was he acted inappropriately and unfortunately this tragedy occurred because of it .This case is not about White privilege if you think that you are the one with the problem not me . I’m not a racist ask anyone who knows me . This case is different period .

It's not untrue to say that Joffe was a "non-political actor" who was granted access to this database.
It's also not untrue to say he specifically went after Trump without any orders or warrant to do so.
It's also not untrue to say that there was never any real specific cause to go after Trump in the manner he did.
It's also not untrue to say that he eventually provided this information to the Clinton campaign.
It's also not untrue to say that the Clinton campaign had offered him the top Cybersecurity spot in a Clinton administration he she won.
It's also not untrue that it would take a pretty large degree of cognitive dissonance to conclude that he was just an innocent man going about his business with no consideration for the politics of it.
Which would mean it's not untrue to say that only a moron would take that spokesman at his word.
Let the traitors devise their treachery so their treason is accomplished. Let them cling tenaciously to their evil. But they will never find satisfaction in their betrayal. A contented joy will never comfort their hearts neither here nor hereafter! Their eternal eulogy will be “you have given yourself over to do evil in the sight of the Lord.”
That fits Hillary perfectly.
Her entire adult life she's been conditioned to feel that she's above the law and that there should never be any consequences for her actions.
She'll get hers some day. This side or the other. And when it comes let it be with horrific and unbearable pain, suffering and anguish.
And please let it last for all of eternity.
An evil the likes of hers deserves nothing less.

The extreme right wing believes that education from both sides, is anti-white discrimination.
Anybody hoping to become a lawyer in the United States will now have to meekly submit to several rounds of political propaganda, thanks to a new decree from the American Bar Association.
The American Bar Association is a national professional association for America’s attorneys. Despite being a private organization, the ABA holds substantial real-world influence, as it sets professional standards for lawyers and is the only nationally-recognized accreditor of the nation’s law schools. So, when the ABA tells law schools to do something, it really matters; every school of note has to obey.
The ABA has posted the text of the new rule online, along with its own interpretation of their meaning. While leaving open some wiggle room (for now), the ABA’s interpretations clearly encourage schools to implement mandatory classes on “racism” for students to graduate.
From the ABA’s website:
While the rule is written to seem innocuous, nobody is fooled about what this means. Last summer, when the rule was only up for consideration, ten members of the Yale Law faculty pointed out the exact ramifications if it were passed:
We find particularly disturbing the proposed change to Standard 303, mandating two new course requirements and attempting to dictate the course content for these offerings. One is a course on professional identity that requires instructing students that their obligation is to eliminate racism in the legal profession, and the other is a course presupposing that some students are biased and racist and therefore need instruction euphemistically referenced as “cross-cultural competency.”
In front of our very eyes, we are watching another pillar of civic life become another interchangeable cog of the ideology that treats “racism” as America’s chief concern and ordinary white, Christian, heritage Americans as the country’s greatest villains.
They believe that current racial discrimination is against people like you and me and Biden and Trump.
And will get Biden to resign and make Vice President Harris, the first multiple race woman President, without an election.
Classic propaganda...
One is a course on professional identity that requires instructing students that their obligation is to eliminate racism in the legal profession, and the other is a course presupposing that some students are biased and racist and therefore need instruction euphemistically referenced as “cross-cultural competency.”
In front of our very eyes, we are watching another pillar of civic life become another interchangeable cog of the ideology that treats “racism” as America’s chief concern and ordinary white, Christian, heritage Americans as the country’s greatest villains.

On paper Slow Joe is my president, but I will go to my grave completely convinced that the asshole stole the election.
I watched him not raising enough of a crowd to fill a fucking handicapped rest room stall while watching Trump fill rally after rally after rally with 20, 30, 40, 50,000 people, walking for miles and sitting in traffic lines for tens of miles to participate.

Rural democrats can't peel those Biden/Harris bumper stickers off fast enough. And those who are proud of their 'D' party affiliation are being shunned like fucking lepers.
The Coldheartedtruth is like Pravda under Trump
To hear Russian media tell it, the government of Ukraine is run by neo-Nazis waging a genocidal campaign against ethnic Russians in the country’s east, where Moscow-backed authorities regularly uncover mass graves full of the corpses of women and children with bound hands and bludgeoned heads even as they face the hell of constant shelling.
Such false images and narratives have become a daily staple in Russia....The Russian media have gone into overdrive with stories depicting a government in Kyiv so cruel that Moscow has no choice but to swoop in and protect the ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine’s Donbas region.
“It’s a war between the Ukrainian government and its own people.... People are dying there every day. Thousands of civilians died there. Thousands of children lost their limbs there, buried in little coffins,” Margarita Simonyan, head of the state-funded broadcaster RT, said on a talk show on the Russia-1 channel.
I think living in Russia is what it would be like in the US if every channel were Fox News and every newspaper were the New York Post and again your blog has become.
Kevin Drumm.
Well, everyone was predicting that the huge crowds that Trump was drawing meant that he would win in a landslide until eighty-one million Americans showed us otherwise.
And by the way, I never saw many Biden bumper stickers on cars during that election.

Opinion: We now see stark evidence of Trump’s toxic judicial legacy
Opinion by Ruth Marcus
February 18 at 1:36 PM PST
Another Trump judge has struck, in another bid to defang the Voting Rights Act. This decision wouldn’t ordinarily merit much notice — it’s a single opinion by a district court judge. But it offers stark evidence of Donald Trump’s toxic judicial legacy, illustrates how conservative justices invite legal mischief to bubble up from the lower courts, and threatens what remains of one of the country’s proudest legislative achievements.
The ruling came Thursday from U.S. District Judge Lee Rudofsky of Little Rock, a Harvard Law School graduate, Federalist Society member (of course) and former Arkansas solicitor general. Rudofsky found that Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which protects minority voters against unfair redistricting or other voting practices that have discriminatory effects, can only be enforced by the Justice Department. No civil rights groups, no individual voters need apply — I mean, are entitled to file suit.
This radical interpretation flies in the face of the history, purpose and longtime interpretation of the Voting Rights Act; it ignores congressional intent and long-standing Supreme Court rulings. And, if it were to stand, it would all but guarantee that the protections of the Voting Rights Act would be meaningless whenever there is a Republican in the White House.

So Military Veteran Jamie.
How would you react to the "shelling".
CHT forgive Alky and Jamie.
The election of Biden/Harris has gone so spectacularly wrong.
Even the National Archives are communist based
The National Archives, which is controlled by a hard-leftist cadre, excitedly announced that President Donald Trump took classified information with him when he left the White House. The problem — which the AP reluctantly concedes — is that, as president, he had the final say over what's classified. That means that there's no hypocrisy in his reaming Crooked Hillary Clinton for her conduct.
As a predicate, the National Archives management has turned that government office into a purely leftist entity determined to advance all leftist causes, including destroying Donald Trump. Recently, it was caught stating that the U.S. Constitution and all of America's other founding documents contain "harmful content." Why? Because they have "racist, sexist, misogynistic, and xenophobic opinions."
Additionally, the National Archives management has concluded that the entire institution of the National Archives itself is structurally racist because it's concerned with lauding the work of the White men who created our nation. You can read more about that insanity here.
Most recently, the leftist, impermissibly partisan National Archives management's vendetta against Trump has management claiming that Trump was found to be illegally in possession of classified information:
Roger, did you go out on the town last night with your gal.
Must be interesting showing up in a cab.
Some of the people who helped build our allies were "racist, sexist, misogynistic, and xenophobic."

Baltimore Sun Apologizes for Racist Past

The right wing terrorists are spreading into Canada.
But the PM used the police to enforce the law.
Hundreds of police in riot gear swept through the streets of Canada’s besieged capital Saturday, arresting or driving out protesters, towing away their trucks and finally retaking control of the streets in front of the country’s Parliament buildings.
With protesters in clear retreat under the increasing pressure of one of the largest police operations in Canada’s history, authorities’ hopes were rising for an end to the three-week protest against the country’s COVID-19 restrictions and the government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Interim Ottawa Police Chief Steve Bell said that while some smaller protests continued “this unlawful occupation is over. We will continue with our mission until it is complete.”
Police had been brought in from across the country to help in the clearance operation, he said, adding that 170 people were arrested Friday and Saturday and multiple investigations had been launched because of weapons seizures.
You guys want this here next week and again and again and again and again and again and until you take up arms.

2) If the GOP did try to sell Trump, he is currently running 5 points ahead of Dementia Joe right now. So what you consider the worst of the GOP options is still 5 points better than what the Democrats are stuck with.

During remarks on Saturday afternoon, the Ukrainian president questioned why the EU avoids questions about his country's membership status, asking, "Doesn't Ukraine deserve direct, honest answers?"
"This also applies to NATO. We are told the door is open. But for now, no outsiders are allowed in," he said while addressing world leaders in Munich, Kyiv-based news agency Interfax-Ukraine reported.
He added that if some or all members of the NATO alliance don't want to include Ukraine, "they should be honest with the country."

Sounds like a double standard to me Reverend. Either you believe spokespeople for those under investigation or you do not.
Of course, if we want to be totally logical about. How many investigations has there been against Trump and how many of them have been complete nothing burger. It seems much more logical to believe a Trump spokesperson when he says the investigation is a sham...
However when someone with the history of Joffe (scamming people by charging them $69 in shipping and handling for a grandfather clock that ended up being a desktop replica among other things)
Hires a Democratic operative lawyer who claims that Joffe's relationship with Clinton was on the up and up and that he was just a humble Government employee doing his job...
Well, I think it might be prudent to be a little bit skeptical?
Tell us Reverend. Since the track record on investigating Trump is zero against how ever many investigations have failed.
Why is it that you actually are more likely to believe the spokesperson for a cheap internet scammer than it is for you to believe a spokesperson for Trump. Seems a little biased, huh?

Joe Biden's Ukraine Strategy Is Much Worse Than Originally Thought

For almost a month now, the Biden administration has been insisting a Russian invasion of Ukraine is imminent. That projection was re-upped on Friday when the president held a presser in which he asserted that Vladimir Putin had already made the decision to launch an attack and that it would happen in the “coming days.”
If the President continues this strategy in rural areas across lines, it might have an impact on the the future elections..
The Biden administration recently announced $14 billion in spending on environmental restoration and infrastructure projects like the one in Winslow, where most residents are Native American or Hispanic, the median household income is less than $38,000 a year and a quarter of residents live in poverty. They say the spending is in line with Justice40 but have not detailed how.
That’s because some of the rules for Justice40 are still being written, raising concerns about how the administration is carrying out the policy and whether it’s being applied in a way that fulfills its promise. Even Winslow and the broader Navajo County don’t know how the math works out.
“There has to be accountability where we look back and say, ‘How well did we meet this objective?’" said Natalie Snider of the Environmental Defense Fund.
Two-thirds of Winslow — including a hospital, nursing homes, schools and utilities — is in a flood plain after the Federal Emergency Management Agency decertified a levee in 2008. A massive flood could affect an Interstate 40 bridge and a rail line over the Little Colorado River that carries $35 billion in cargo destined for the West Coast.
And the corner off Route 66 made famous in the Eagles song “Take it Easy,” with the line “Standin’ on a corner in Winslow, Arizona,” would look more like a stream than a sidewalk in a flood, the city said.
Historically, environmental justice has been used during federal project reviews to consider the potential harm to a disadvantaged community. Biden’s executive order on Justice40 directs federal agencies to think about how their decisions and spending can benefit communities that have been ignored.
Typically, the Army Corps considers factors such as preventing property damage and job creation when it weighs the benefits and costs of projects. In the infrastructure bill, Congress said proposals that benefit disadvantaged communities should be prioritized for some projects in areas like flood mitigation.
The Army Corps' $14 billion in funding includes the levee project in Winslow, the restoration of native riparian habitat in New Mexico’s Espanola Valley that is heavily Hispanic and Native American and work on a tidal channel through San Juan, Puerto Rico, that is clogged with waste and debris.
The bipartisan infrastructure plan is a Democratic solution to huge problems...
I'm not locked down here.
For me it is an apartment. I can come and go anytime without supervision or anything ever... I get my meals and laundry free. The entry door is locked but I can go anywhere else I want.

Hugh Hewitt Pumps the Brakes on Durham Probe Freakout on Fox News:
Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt shared a sobering opinion Thursday for those convinced there is proof Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign spied on former President Donald Trump.
The Fox News guest said that the claims surrounding Special Counsel John Durham’s filing last week is much ado about nothing – at least for now.
Durham filed a motion on Friday in the case of Michael Sussmann, who was indicted by a grand jury last year for making a false statement to the FBI. The motion was laden with technical language about Sussmann’s access to nonpublic information on internet servers at Trump Tower and the White House in 2016 and 2017, via a tech executive publicly identified as Rodney Joffe.
Sussmann is alleged to have given the FBI information tying Trump to Russia. While doing so, he said he was not working on behalf of “any client,” according to the motion. But Durham says Sussmann was billing the Clinton campaign at the time.
The motion has been seized upon by numerous conservative outlets framing it as evidence Clinton spied on Trump. Like you
Hewitt bucked that narrative by declaring that the media has been overstating what’s the motion.
