THE NOMENKLATURA WILL NOT GO QUIETLY: 

 

The National Scandal That Is Too Big To Break.

by Shane Harris

 

Conservatives looking to expose the full extent of the Biden family’s corruption have a problem: the scandal might be too big to break.

 

Typically, there are three main entities involved in taking down a politician over a corruption scandal.

 

First, there is the media, which broadcasts the details of the scandal, eroding public support.

 

Second, there is law enforcement, which investigates and, if necessary, presses criminal charges.

 

Third, there is the party establishment, which ultimately abandons the politician as a matter of self-preservation, signaling that it’s “game over.”

 

But what happens when a scandal is so big that the people responsible for breaking it are implicated in it as well?

 

That is the situation which now faces the mainstream media, the federal intelligence bureaucracy, and the Democrat Party. For years, they have all parroted Biden’s lies and created an echo chamber of denial about wrongdoing by the president and his family. Now, with it all beginning to crumple around them, they’re seeing that the downfall of the president spells the end of their own reputations and careers as well.

They're Spelling 'Democrats' Wrong

By Susie Moore 

 

It struck me today that many on the left – in particular, elected officials and legacy media outfits – are misspelling a key word – a label that many of them claim and cling to.

 

We’re told over and over that anything and everything aligned with anyone right of center is “a threat to democracy.”

• Billionaires not taxed enough? A threat to democracy.
• Reducing the regulatory state? A threat to democracy.
• Enforcing our sovereign border? A threat to democracy.
• Seeking energy independence? A threat to democracy.
• Cooking on a gas stove? A threat to democracy.
• Defending the Bill of Rights? A threat to democracy.
• Championing free speech? A threat to democracy.
• Pushing for election integrity? A threat to democracy.
• Ron DeSantis? The biggest threat to democracy – since Donald Trump.

Actually, I’m pretty sure if you asked them, electing any Republican presents a threat to democracy.

 

But the thing is – it isn’t democracy (with a cy) those things threaten. It’s Democrats (with a ts).

Wow
 

 

Happening Now: Former FBI agent Charles McGonigal is expected to plead guilty to working for a Russian Oligarch. This is the same agent who started the entire “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation into Trumps team when he sent an email about George Papadopoulos having dirt on Hillary!

 

He played a crucial role into the investigation of Trump and the Special Counsel led by Robert Mueller. Now we’re learning he worked secretly for a Russian the entire time.

 

Is anyone surprised how corrupt our DOJ is? They always blame Trump for what they’re actually doing

A Non-Pretending Discussion About Barack Obama

 

FTA:

 

The type of intense, deeply cited and granular research that David Garrow did for his book, is the type of research historians 50-years from now will be citing as they outline the legacy of President Obama.  This is also the type of research and non-pretending analysis you will never see approved for conversation by those who currently maintain the false pretense of the subject.

 

“I doubt that in the long run, Obama’s foreign-policy failures are going to be seen as the most important part of his legacy. I think future historians are going to look at the Obama presidency and see it as the moment when this new oligarchy merged with the Democratic Party and used the capacities of these new technologies and the power of this new class of people, the oligarchs and their servants, to create a new apparatus of social control. How far they can go with it, what the limits are … you see them trying to test it out every week or so.”  ~ David Samuels

 

 

Garrow and Samuels both discuss Barack Obama in a way that is extremely accurate; as a result, antithetical to the populism that surrounds the former President.  People who have followed political events will bathe in the truthfulness of the discussion.  Obama, a man created by his own intent and purpose, to present himself and his transitional identity to a select audience of affluent white liberals.  This audience would help Obama achieve his narcissistic life goal to have a “valet and private plane”, while simultaneously assuaging their white guilt.  The plan worked swimmingly.

 

Samuels talks about the curiosity of President Obama maintaining his residence in the nation’s capital, an often-visited command center in Washington DC, where important members of the current administration assemble at times, and secret service vehicles are often spotted coming and going. Yet, for some odd reason, the DC media network who are directly responsible for tracking and outlining the comings and goings of those in power, are seemingly incurious about this home/headquarters.

 

[…] Samuels: “The easy explanation, of course, is that Joe Biden is not running that part of his administration. Obama is. He doesn’t even have to pick up the phone because all of his people are already inside the White House. They hold the Iran file. Tony Blinken doesn’t.”

 

{snip}

 

I am going to draw attention to one such example, because this is the first time I have seen anyone, other than myself, connect the dots of the new surveillance state to the intents and purposes of Obama’s tenure in office.   As noted during the conversation, David Samuels says…

 

….”So Obama starts out as an eloquent opponent of the Patriot Act, etc., etc. By the end of his presidency, his people are unmasking intercepts of his political opponents every day, and the FBI is spying on Donald Trump.”… 

 

The response from Garrow is as succinct as it is accurate, “that’s right!”

 

I cannot tell you how refreshing it is to see an article that drops all of the pretending and starts to talk about the reality of our situation.  If we stop pretending we unite as a country, because we all start to accept the same baselines.

 

The fraud that has been purposefully deployed as a tool for fundamental change, can only exist if people pretend that fraud and corruption does not exist.  Stop pretending, and the sunlight of commonality begins to unite our nation.

 

This weaponized national security state will be the legacy of President Obama.

Let's not forget John Kerry pursuing a separate Iran foreign policy as an private citizen during the Trump administration, too.

 

Think he was doing that on his own?

[Ann]

They faked voter registration applications - someone needs to investigate if these fake applicants voted.
 

The program was paid for by Democrat groups - who work hard to flood the system with unrequested mail in ballots. When people don’t know they are getting ballots in the mail then fraud easily occurs. Democrats know this and it’s their strategy.
 

The U.S. postal system warns Americans to not send cash through the mail because it’s unsafe. But Democrats send massive numbers of ballots to people who don’t know they are getting one/didn’t request one.
 

This is fraud. And happened in most states in 2020.

I had a co-worker that got smacked by his wife like @Crap Throwing Clavin after burning oatmeal because he eat an entire brick of Velveeta while drinking one night. We had a crap watch out for him. He didn't go for a week. Great guy just not the smartest.

Schumer: Congress will pass short-term funding bill in September to avoid shutdown

Just the News ^ | 8/15/23 | Nicholas Ballasy

 

 

McCarthy floats stopgap funding to prevent a government shutdown at the end of next month (same old stupid game)
Associated Press ^ | 8/16/23 | STEPHEN GROVES and LISA MASCARO

 

 

 

This has been the game since 2007.

 

1. Dither/do nothing/pass no bills until September 30th

2. Yell and scream about the government shutting down

3. Pass a "stopgap" bill taking government spending to November

4. Pretend to still be arguing in November, pass a "stopgap" bill taking spending to mid-December

5. Use pressure of Christmas recess to get another "stopgap" bill to the following March.

6. And the process starts all over again

 

The Senate could have been passing bills so conference committees could battle out the differences. But the Senate intentionally DOESN'T pass any bills so the above process can happen year after year.

 

And both McConnell and Schumer want it that way. They don't want the House to control spending levels (as is their Constitutional power). And the Republican Speakers (Boehner, Ryan and McCarthy) go along with it EVERY time.

U.S. Attorney Weiss Colluded With DOJ To Thwart Congressional Questioning, Emails Show

 

Emails obtained by the Heritage Foundation following a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit and shared exclusively with The Federalist establish that on multiple occasions, the Department of Justice intervened on behalf of Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss to respond to congressional inquiries related to the Hunter Biden investigation.

 

This revelation raises more questions about the June 7, 2023, letter dispatched to House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan under Weiss’s signature line, in which the Delaware U.S. attorney claimed he had “ultimate authority” over charging decisions related to Hunter Biden. It also suggests Weiss and the DOJ may have conspired to mislead Congress.

 

Did the DOJ’s Office of Legislative Affairs respond to Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson’s May 9, 2022, letter seeking information concerning the Hunter Biden investigation? Weiss posed that question to one of his lead assistant U.S. attorneys, Shannon Hanson. 

 

“Not to my knowledge,” Hanson replied, followed soon after with a second email noting that Joe Gaeta, the then-deputy assistant attorney general in the Office of Legislative Affairs, was working on a response. And although Grassley and Johnson had addressed their May 9, 2022, inquiry solely to Weiss, DOJ’s Office of Legislative Affairs would intercede on his behalf, responding in a letter dated June 9, 2022, that the DOJ would not respond to the questions posed. 

 

</snip>

 

“The only reason these documents are starting to trickle out is because we sued for transparency,” Howell told The Federalist. “We’ve faced taxpayer funded resistance at every step of the way and haven’t given up,” he added, noting that “the DOJ is under a judicial order to continue this production.” 

 

The next round of responsive documents is due by Oct. 31, and since none of the documents produced to date include references to Jordan’s May 25, 2023, letter, it seems likely we’ll see those emails in the next batch — unless House Republicans seek access to them first through a subpoena.
