It’s time to drop the words “fake news,” “hoax,” and any other descriptor short of blatant and purposeful lies, in reference to Hillary Clinton’s engineering, oversight, and final approval of releasing to the sock-puppet media a preposterous fairy tale that even the worst of armchair sleuths could spot as complete bullcrap.

Why do I make such a “bold” statement? When even the Wall Street Journal editorial board publishes a blistering editorial titled Hillary Clinton Did It, in which it calls Clinton’s lies a “dirty trick for the ages,” that is newsworthy. Are you listening, Hillary?

The Russia-Trump collusion narrative of 2016 and beyond was a dirty trick for the ages, and now we know it came from the top—candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton. That was the testimony Friday by 2016 Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook in federal court, and while this news is hardly a surprise, it’s still bracing to find her fingerprints on the political weapon.

Mr. Mook testified as a witness in special counsel John Durham’s trial of Michael Sussmann, the lawyer accused of lying to the FBI. In September 2016, Mr. Sussmann took claims of a secret Trump connection to Russia’s Alfa Bank to the FBI and said he wasn’t acting on behalf of any client. Prosecutors say he was working for the Clinton campaign.

Before we continue, lemme say this. I abhor whataboutism — from both sides of the aisle and everywhere in between. That said, we’re talking about the same lapdog media who, when shown images, transcripts, receipts with signatures, and testimony from former associates of Joe Biden’s wayward son, immediately dismissed the Hunter Biden laptop scandal as “Russian disinformation.” Yet, Hillary’s lies?

Hillary Clinton has always had a sort of Voldemort-like status of she who must not be named in a scandal. The Clintons have really been able to avoid direct responsibility in a series of scandals. And here was her campaign manager [Robby Mook] effectively dropping the dime on his former boss and saying, “Look, she approved it. She knew about it.”

Now, the reason that’s important is that this claim was utterly ridiculous. It didn’t have a basis. It was quickly rejected by people in the government, and it was without any foundation when people looked at it. But the Clinton campaign pushed it anyway. This Alfa Bank story was pushed by Jake Sullivan, now the national security adviser, and by Clinton herself.

But the thing to keep in mind is that President Obama was briefed when he was president, that Hillary Clinton was planning to make a Russian collusion claim against Donald Trump to try to sort of get out of her own email issues during the campaign.

This life is so full of options/choices for any and almost everything that one can think about or do, that we just expect to be able to exercise that 'power or privilege' whenever, wherever, why ever, however and upon/for whoever we wish. Our choices provide us with options that can impact us and others in either a positive or a negative manner, and for some there's no care given to being altruistic when exercising them.

For example, Putin made the CHOICE to attack Ukraine, even though there were other choices available for dealing with the 'problem(s)' that he perceived. Do you think that he was concerned about how 'real human life' would be affected, or instead, how exerting his 'POWER' would benefit him/further inflate his ego?
It is said that "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts, absolutely". I agree.

Power and choice, doesn't always go together though. The Privilege of choice was granted to mankind from Creation, and we've been abusing it ever since. I've said to myself that, if God had granted us the privilege BEFORE we were born, that certainly would have had a great impact on population, as well as other aspects of life (I think). Imagine that one could decide whether or not one wanted to be born into this world depending on what condition it was at the time (e.g. wartime/peacetime, polluted/unpolluted, diseased/healthy, etc), or even whether one was even interested in being born at all.

I, for one, would have had my reservations, regardless of the 'power' or the 'privilege'.

If you like your inflation, you can keep your inflation.

Okay, Joe Biden didn’t say that. But he would have if he were being honest.

The president set himself an easy task Tuesday — to show a dispirited public he cares about their painful straits. As he put it, “I want every American to know that I’m taking inflation very seriously and it’s my top domestic priority.”

Just not seriously enough to bring a single new idea to the table. Instead he fell back on tired tropes about how none of the historic increase in prices is his fault.

With Biden, the buck always stops somewhere else.

The two straw men he trotted out were familiar — the pandemic and the Putin Price Hike. The latter coined phrase is as ridiculous as President Gerald Ford’s WIN gambit, for Whip Inflation Now, and will no doubt be just as effective economically and politically.

Asked by a reporter after his address whether he accepted any responsibility for the crisis, Biden said no, adding: “I think our policies help, not hurt.”

Saying so doesn’t make it true.

Nor was it credible for him to claim, again, that there is rampant price gouging by oil and lumber companies and beef distributors.

As usual, his performance was marred by a halting, stumbling delivery as if he were reading his speech for the first time. An even bigger problem is that his argument is no match for the reality Americans see and feel.

Consider these numbers: CNN reports 81% of the public thinks the government is not doing enough to combat inflation.

Fox reports that just 36% approve of Biden’s handling of the economy.

And all that was before the latest record hike in gasoline prices. The national average price of regular unleaded is now $4.37 a gallon, up from $4.20 last week and $2.97 a year ago.

Against that backdrop, the White House had to know there was no chance the president’s “I care” appearance would make much of a difference, raising the question of why he bothered. One theory is that the inflation data that comes out Wednesday will be more bad news and Biden’s team saw an advantage in getting ahead of it by having him tell voters he really, really feels their pain.

That’s not much of a reason, but the decision to go ahead shows how the administration has hit a wall of its own making. Even with the tanking stock market and growing belief that the Federal Reserve’s planned interest rate hikes will throw the economy into a recession, Biden seems unable to change course and adopt policies that could help tame inflation and earn him and his party a second look from voters.

For example, despite the fact that many economists believe the massive government spending during the height of the COVID war, including $2 trillion spent last year, was a major cause of the surge in consumer demand and prices, Biden continues to push for more spending that would add to inflation pressures.

Then there’s the issue of energy supplies and the resulting price of oil being stuck around $100 a barrel. If the president were to flip-flop and make a serious push to increase production, he would face a revolt within his own party.

Many Democrats actually wouldn’t mind if gas prices hit $10 a gallon because, they believe, that would hasten the move away from fossil fuels. Such is their devotion to the devil in their Green New Deal that the problems people face here and now don’t matter to them.

In the past I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party.

But they have become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican.

Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold … ??

What's your belief about them?

One time we drove from Tahoe to Las Vegas and passed by this place.

It was fascinating to know about this most guarded secret of the military. I researched about it. During the early 90s, Google or Wikipedia wasn't around yet so I had to go to the library and found out more about this place.

Well, what was printed then was so limited that sometimes my curiosity wasn't quite sated as it is now.

Anyways is there anyone who believes in this unidentified aerial phenomena? (UAP) Or it's just one BIG CONSPIRACY THEORY.

Please share your experiences or mere opinion(s) about it if you have any.

I'm fascinated considering how tiny SPECK we are in this vast UNIVERSE.

Good day everyone.

Last week, prosecutors released two videos that blow apart the narrative that Trump supporters broke into the Capitol in an act of insurrection. In the videos, you can see police welcoming the protesters into the Capitol, including a video of an entrance that has never been shown before. The Democrats have been trying to make hay out of the protest, which they have said is worse than 9/11, the Civil War, and Pearl harbor.

Instead of the story Democrats have told about the protesters busting open doors and forcing their way into the building, both videos show Capitol police herding the people into the building and then standing back to allow them to wander in. I guess the insurrectionists were extraordinarily polite. A lawyer would probably allude to this as entrapment. The protesters didn’t break in, they were led in and then prosecuted for entering the building.

You will be able to see a Capitol Policeman waving to people already inside the building.

At the very beginning of the video, the crowd has stops before entering as if they were seeking permission to go inside. Then you can see the cops walk by and allow the protesters entrance into the capitol. In a later part of the video, you can see the cops have people bottled up to prevent their entrance until another cop comes and communicates with the officers and they move on, leaving the door unguarded, so people can walk right in.
