Norm Sauer

One doesn’t have to look too hard to know there is a mainstream media bias to destroy the Trump administration.  So far, the media’s desired outcome of impeachment continues blindly in search of a justification. 

The media’s incessant drumming of collusion based on anonymous sources has 59% of Democrats believing Russia hacked the November vote to give Trump the election according to an Economist/YouGov poll conducted May 20-23.

The media’s propaganda may also be responsible for the murderous rage and irrationality demonstrated by some on the Left against President Trump.  An example is this week’s viral photograph of Kathy Griffin holding up a bloodied decapitated head of President Trump, and Portland mayor cancelling a pro-Trump rally because a murderous knife attacker supported Bernie.

For going on a year investigations by our intelligence agencies and oversight by Congressional committees have found no evidence of Russian collusion.  This lack of evidence of collusion has been publicly stated by Senator Feinstein (D Cal.) (twice), former Obama CIA Director John Brennan, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and CIA chief Mike Morrell, as well as House Intelligence Committee ranking member Adam Schiff (D Cal.).

To those of you not suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, I suggest you look at and compare the past actions of Democrats in their relations with the Russians.  Consider:

–Trump never delivered a “Reset” button to the Russians, Hillary Clinton did.

–Trump was never a business partner who received $35 million dollars from the Russiana investment fund nicknamed “Putin’s Child.”  John Podesta, Hillary’s campaign manager, was.

–Trump was never paid $500,000 for a speech in Moscow by Renaissance Capital which was tied to Russian intelligence.  Bill Clinton was.

–Trump never approved the sale of 20% of American uranium while Secretary of State to Rosicom, the Russian State Nuclear Agency.  Hillary Clinton did.

–Trump never lied and said he wasn’t part of the Russia uranium deal.  John Podesta and Hillary Clinton did.

–Trump never scored $145 million from the shareholders of the uranium company one-fifth sold to the Russians.  Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation did.

–Trump never received millions of dollars of donations from the Russian oligarchs as part of a Russian nuclear research cluster. The Clinton Foundation did.

–And, a reporter’s diligent search of Canadian tax records didn’t find Trump connected in financial dealing with the Russians.  Hillary Clinton was.

There is solid evidence, not anonymous unsubstantiated rumors, of inappropriate dealings with Russia pointing to John Podesta, Bill and Hillary Clinton, and the Clinton Foundation.  Yet, little is said about these matters by the main stream “lamestream” media.  And those who subscribe to Leftist ideology have neither an appreciation of this truthful evidence nor unselective memories.

The mainstream media recently tried to establish a story that proved false that Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, tried to establish a communications ‘back channel’ with the Russians.  Really!  If the Trump team colluded with the Russians before the 2016 election why was Kushner now trying to establish back channel communications with them?  Hateful desperate people will grab at anything, even the irrational and inconsistent, to fulfill their evil ends.

No evidence of Trump collusion with the Russians means no crime.  But, to Democrats and their media cohorts this doesn’t matter.  They have recently switched tactics and are now accusing the president of covering up a non-crime by heating up an obstruction of justice scandal to impeach President Trump even though there is no apparent wrongdoing or collusion by the Trump team with Russia.

This scandal without a crime can put the Democrats in a bind.  With 59% of Democrats now believing Russia hacked the November vote based on a steady stream of unfounded media attacks on the president, even the New York Times reported “liberal activists are courting a backlash of their own as they demand of their lawmakers nothing short of driving the president from office by any means necessary.”  Democrats and left wing media have overpromised about what was possible.

Retired Assistant Attorney General Andrew McCarthy argues the only way to counteract the left’s attempted annihilation of the president is evidence-based counter attacks.  First, investigate the Obama administration’s abuse of government surveillance powers for the purposes of political spying.  Also, Congress should investigate whether Obama’s Justice Department colluded with the Clinton campaign to influence the 2016 election outcome.  And, third, Congress should investigate the collusion between the Russians, the Clintons and the Clinton Foundation.

May truth will out.

    Yes, Punchy, I know, I know you are not a Democrat. You have said that many times. Countless times. Do you remember saying that? If not, we do, water bearer.. How about some reading material that explains why Paul could not bring himself to vote for the last two Democrats that ran for President. To be far, ithose were great decisions by Paul.

    How does one hack a national election. Well, if it is possible with our voting machines not hooked up to the internet, then it must be voter fraud. Hmm. Was CA hacked? Virginia? The Great State of New York? The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, was that state hacked? I know! It must have been Oklahoma or Alaska or Alabama. That’s it! Hillary got two million more votes than Trump so there’s the proof! Or was it 3 million more votes. Well, at least we all know know. Putin hacked the Red States and not the Blue States. Or, maybe he he hacked just the Red and Blue States, but forgot Ohio.

    Paul, the difference goes to your ‘truthiness’… it’s kinda hard to both claim to be a “green Libertarian” supporter of Gary Johnson and simultaneously having been a registered Democrat for a few decades straight. Hence my question.
    “Indeed it appears that if I was a Russian working for Putin according to Bill, Todd, Walt and Gregory I would be held in higher regard.”
    Paul, I’ve seen no evidence that you have the logic and language skills the Russkies would certainly demand for any such position.

    For those who doubt that their are democrats at the highest levels within thin democrat party structure who are a danger to the US……

    Ted Kennedy’s Soviet Gambit
    Picking his way through the Soviet archives that Boris Yeltsin had just thrown open, in 1991 Tim Sebastian, a reporter for the London Times, came across an arresting memorandum. Composed in 1983 by Victor Chebrikov, the top man at the KGB, the memorandum was addressed to Yuri Andropov, the top man in the entire USSR. The subject: Sen. Edward Kennedy.
    “On 9-10 May of this year,” the May 14 memorandum explained, “Sen. Edward Kennedy’s close friend and trusted confidant [John] Tunney was in Moscow.” (Tunney was Kennedy’s law school roommate and a former Democratic senator from California.) “The senator charged Tunney to convey the following message, through confidential contacts, to the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Y. Andropov.”
    Kennedy’s message was simple. He proposed an unabashed quid pro quo. Kennedy would lend Andropov a hand in dealing with President Reagan. In return, the Soviet leader would lend the Democratic Party a hand in challenging Reagan in the 1984 presidential election. “The only real potential threats to Reagan are problems of war and peace and Soviet-American relations,” the memorandum stated. “These issues, according to the senator, will without a doubt become the most important of the election campaign.”
    Kennedy made Andropov a couple of specific offers.
    First he offered to visit Moscow. “The main purpose of the meeting, according to the senator, would be to arm Soviet officials with explanations regarding problems of nuclear disarmament so they may be better prepared and more convincing during appearances in the USA.” Kennedy would help the Soviets deal with Reagan by telling them how to brush up their propaganda.
    Then he offered to make it possible for Andropov to sit down for a few interviews on American television. “A direct appeal … to the American people will, without a doubt, attract a great deal of attention and interest in the country. … If the proposal is recognized as worthy, then Kennedy and his friends will bring about suitable steps to have representatives of the largest television companies in the USA contact Y.V. Andropov for an invitation to Moscow for the interviews. … The senator underlined the importance that this initiative should be seen as coming from the American side.”
    Kennedy would make certain the networks gave Andropov air time–and that they rigged the arrangement to look like honest journalism.
    Kennedy’s motives? “Like other rational people,” the memorandum explained, “[Kennedy] is very troubled by the current state of Soviet-American relations.” But that high-minded concern represented only one of Kennedy’s motives.
    “Tunney remarked that the senator wants to run for president in 1988,” the memorandum continued. “Kennedy does not discount that during the 1984 campaign, the Democratic Party may officially turn to him to lead the fight against the Republicans and elect their candidate president.”
    Kennedy proved eager to deal with Andropov–the leader of the Soviet Union, a former director of the KGB and a principal mover in both the crushing of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution and the suppression of the 1968 Prague Spring–at least in part to advance his own political prospects.
    In 1992, Tim Sebastian published a story about the memorandum in the London Times. Here in the U.S., Sebastian’s story received no attention. In his 2006 book, The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism, historian Paul Kengor reprinted the memorandum in full. “The media,” Kengor says, “ignored the revelation.”
    “The document,” Kengor continues, “has stood the test of time. I scrutinized it more carefully than anything I’ve ever dealt with as a scholar. I showed the document to numerous authorities who deal with Soviet archival material. No one has debunked the memorandum or shown it to be a forgery. Kennedy’s office did not deny it.”
    Why bring all this up now? No evidence exists that Andropov ever acted on the memorandum–within eight months, the Soviet leader would be dead–and now that Kennedy himself has died even many of the former senator’s opponents find themselves grieving. Yet precisely because Kennedy represented such a commanding figure–perhaps the most compelling liberal of our day–we need to consider his record in full.
    Doing so, it turns out, requires pondering a document in the archives of the politburo.
    When President Reagan chose to confront the Soviet Union, calling it the evil empire that it was, Sen. Edward Kennedy chose to offer aid and comfort to General Secretary Andropov. On the Cold War, the greatest issue of his lifetime, Kennedy got it wrong.

    Poor Punchy……for him history both begins and ends with Hillary Clintons electoral loss.

    If indeed Dems are embedded with some evil traitor stain then it must infect them all. Otherwise it would be only some democrats. And then there are closet and wanna be Democrats.

    BTW, the accepted bull pucky that only uneducated poorer white rural voters elected Trump is nonsence.. Trump drew his support strongest from the top of the income earners without a college degree. The lowest earners without a college degree went for the Democrats, no surprise there.
    To repeat, it was not economic populism (as your superior powers of discernment led you to spout) nor Putin that put Trump in the Oval Office. Sure, the economy was a component as well as everyone knowing full well of Trump’s desire to have the United States develop a more affirmative relationship with Russia, if possible. Can’t hurt to try, as Trump put it. That was another tiny component why the voters elected Donald J. Trump as the 45th President of the United States of America. The real reason why?? Not economic populism, but Political Populism. The status quo must go and we of the Irredeemable Deplorable Party (ID) have not even started with ripping the R’s a new one yet. But first, there is some garbage in the other side of the aisle that needs to be disposed of. I am of the voter ID Party.
