[OK boys and girls, now it’s time to talk about the massive mega-lies the Democrats and their lamestream media lackeys have been telling us for the last two years. To begin, I have to confess to a large error, before Russiagate I thought that the journalistic profession was the demonstrated refuge of mostly ass-kissing ignorameouses, my opinion of the commentariat and the news media was pretty low. I was totally off base, because it wasn’t anywhere near low enough. They have demonstrated and continue to demonstrate themselves as a herd of evil snipes who have no regard for their lightly read audiences as they continue their crusade of lies and innuendo to bring down a legitimately elected administration, diverting the electorate’s attention from its achievements and urgent national needs – e.g. education, immigration, debt, … . gjr]

I am not following the Jussie story, save to say that when you get the guy who arranged the famous beer summit (Nine finger Rahm, Obama’s Chief of Staff) turned against you, well…I figured it is popcorn time. I knew winds of change were a blowing when Charles Barclay was laughing his gluteus maximus off on Sports Center. “Dude, if you are going to do a crime, don’t write a check.” When you loose Charles Barley and Dead Fish Rahm and Al Sharpton, you know things aren’t going by the script. :). And his lawyer got arrested on 16 counts. Oh my.

“It is continuing,” the prosecutor replied. “It’s continuing robustly.”
The fact the grand jury is continuing its work adds a new wrinkle to the Mueller probe, which Attorney General William Barr announced on Friday was finished.”

GeorgeR: “I thought that the journalistic profession was the demonstrated refuge of mostly ass-kissing ignorameouses, my opinion of the commentariat and the news media was pretty low. I was totally off base, because it wasn’t anywhere near low enough.”
It seems to me that part of this is the result of the first truly internet election. The ‘news’ business not only now allows people to write (and more importantly, publish) before they think, but more heavily encourages ‘gotcha’ and scurrilous headlines. This last is what pays the bill in the current deathmatch going on in media. Although no one should be surprised, the real value is in seeing just how biased major league media can be.
I wonder if someone has constructed an AI that writes stories for the Daily Beast like they have for sports writing. No ‘reporters’ needed. Pretty soon you’ll have a Google AI censoring a conservative AI while everyone sits back and gets rich from selling ads. All that is still needed is an AI to read the stories and wave it’s little Tyrannosaurus arms in rage at Trump or Emmanuel Goldstein.
Since the news guys aren’t any smarter than anyone else, they get caught up in a feedback loop of crazy since all they read (and copy) what is basically a giant Weekly World News sans Bat Boy.

Talk about a pathetic apology tour –
Author Christina Hoff Sommers debunked the idea as “feminist fiction” in her book Who Stole Feminism. Sommers wrote:
The ‘rule of thumb’, however, turns out to be an excellent example of what may be called a feminist fiction. Is is not to be found in William Blackstone’s treatise on English common law. On the contrary, British law since the 1700s and our American laws predating the Revolution prohibit wife beating, though there have been periods and places in which the prohibition was only indifferently enforced. That the phrase did not even originate in legal practice could have been ascertained by any fact-checker who took the trouble to look it up in the Oxford English Dictionary, which notes that the term has been used metaphorically for at least three hundred years to refer to any method of measurement or technique of estimation derived from experience rather than science.

LIB news is breaking records!!
“MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow lost a whopping 20 percent of her audience after the release of the Mueller Report proved she shamelessly deceived her audience for more than two years.
The release of this report — you know, the one that exonerates President Trump of any and all allegations of Russia collusion, is, arguably, the biggest news of the last two years — and in the heat of this massive news cycle that lands directly in Maddow’s sweet spot, a huge chunk of her audience just up and disappeared.
For two years a cloud of illegitimacy hung over the Trump presidency and for two years the establishment media, most especially MSNBC and CNN, maniacally fire hosed the American people with fake news to smear the president as a Russian spy. But of all those guilty of spreading this dishonest hysteria, no one came close to Rachel Maddow.”

In the arenas of credibility and viewership, CNN is a dying brand. Over the last week, the news has been especially bad for the far-left outlet.
On the credibility front, CNN chief Jeff Zucker tried to excuse his network’s two-year deliberate deception about Trump colluding with the Russians by admitting on Tuesday that no one at CNN does investigative work.”

Have you seen the newest kid on the block? Instead of Biden, Bernie, and Beto, have you cconsidered Biden, Bernie, and Buttigieg? He might take over Beto’s lane.
“Buttigieg’s home paper, the South Bend Tribune, reports that Buttigieg “leap-frogged” a handful of well-known Democratic contenders, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) to take third place behind former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who have 25% and 24% respectively. Buttigieg is at 11%.
Harris is the only candidate even remotely competitive, with 10%.
That’s shocking news for the full Democratic field. Buttigieg is not a known commodity, but he is a well-liked mayor, a veteran, and a relatively soft-spoken progressive, whose rhetoric on the campaign trail, so far, has been far more inclusive than that of his competitors.”

“Citing a “high-level source,” Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul charged in a bombshell Twitter post late Wednesday that anti-Trump ex-CIA Director John Brennan “insisted that the unverified and fake Steele dossier” be included in a classified intelligence community report on Russian interference in the 2016 elections — a decision that ultimately lent credibility to the dossier and may have played a key role in fomenting unfounded fears of Russia collusion for two years.”
The frightening thing, and it really is frightening, is that a man like this can rise to the head of a primary intelligence agency (one of 17!!). Obviously partisan, obviously part of a coup attempt, obviously skirting the law himself. It didn’t matter at one time, but with the accelerating importance of the CIA and it’s brethren in our national surveillance state, the last thing you want is a politically involved spying community.
Perhaps it’s just a natural side effect of a country in it’s dotage. We are feeling around for a new and stable system that resembles the Soviet troika of party/army/KGB.
