    “[T]he president of the United States is in complete denial about Russia’s role. As I have said, in terms of this president, all roads lead to Putin. He said he’s not going to accept the assessment of our own intelligence agencies that they were very much involved in 2016 election, that 24/7, they are still engaged. He’s trying to blame on Ukraine and this silliness that has been debunked again and again — but he and his folks still keep advancing it. Everything that he has done, whether it’s in Syria vis a vis the Turks, whether it’s in Ukraine in terms of withholding assistance as they try to fight the Russians, his denial about their role in our election then and now, all roads lead to Putin. And sometimes I wonder about Mitch McConnell too. What’s he — why is he an accomplice to all of that?”

    ‘C’ is for ‘Compass’?
    Of course, given that the Russkies produce 3x the uranium that the US does, the interesting part is the flow of money, not the flow of material. It’s also somewhat harder to measure I think.
    You know, the thing I admire about influence peddling as a business, as opposed to, let’s say, property development, is that you are essentially assured of profit. There’s no risk involved in squirreling away a few hundred million if you’re an Al Gore or a Clinton.
    There’s an irony involved in that we have the first (probably) US President who paid bribes to government rather than received them.

    Europe’s Migration Influx: Premeditated and Problematic
    “One example of this is former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who admitted to exaggerating the economic advantages of Third World immigration into England. What Blair intended to achieve when he pushed for immigration, as Tom Bower tells us in his 2016 biography of Blair, was turning his homeland into a multicultural society.
    Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy shared Blair’s viewpoint in a public speech on “obligatory mixing of races.” Framing this as “our purpose,” Sarkozy declared:
    The challenge of the mixing of different nations is the challenge of the twenty-first century. There is no choice here but only a duty. It is compulsory! We can do no other; otherwise we risk confrontation with great problems. Therefore we must change and we shall change. We shall all change at the same time—commercial enterprises, governments, political parties—we must all dedicate ourselves to this aim. And if the people don’t agree to it voluntarily, then we shall apply coercive methods.
    These opinion-molders may be literally engaged in what the French call “Le Grand Remplacement.” They are actively exchanging their native population for culturally dissimilar immigrants. In 2016, for example, 174,300 immigrants arrived in Austria, while 109,700 indigenous Austrians emigrated. Die Presse and other Austrian newspapers celebrated this exchange as a net plus of 72,394 persons, arguing that the immigrants would enhance the Austrian workforce and increase the funds going into social programs.
    Claims that Third World populations, consisting disproportionately of young, unattached males, are being brought in to supplement domestic labor supplies and to provide funding for aging indigenous Europeans are either false or greatly exaggerated. Added crime, disruption, and financial aid given to the arriving “refugees” have driven up public expenses. Moreover, as settlers from the Third World age and bring their kinsfolk after them through “family reunification,” the costs of maintaining unproductive inhabitants go up.”

Though the wild card will be Bloomberg and Steyer: will they turn their ample warchests into attack ads on Sanders, the way Mitt Romney serially destroyed each successive challenger in 2012? That will set up a Democratic base versus billionaires fight that will lead to a serious nationwide popcorn shortage.

    The way this lowly worm sees it, the Lefties want us to do all the work for them….after they miserably failed. They want us to do the House’s job, they want us to call witnesses and the unsubpeonaed John Bolton, they want us to turn our backs on Trump and condemn him, they want the Republicans to join forces and oust Trump. They want us to do a lot of things which they have failed to do for themselves.
    They want to PUT the burden of proof on the accused, not on the accuser where it belongs. It’s Kavanaugh, Kavanaugh, Kavanaugh all over again. Deja Vu.
    Interesting that the Unhinged demand that we do for them that which they refused to do for themselves. Even more interesting is they blame us knuckle dragging low IQ Deplorables for their very own failures. They blame us for the situation they find themselves in today….a situation where they rode rough shod over the R’s in the House, ROFLMAO. It’s all our fault! Blame Cocaine Moscow Mitch and that gang banger with a switchblade, Rafael Cruz. Lindsey Graham is a closet homo….unless he does what we demand him to do.
    Another interesting observation is the Leftinistas sudden mentioning of our Founding Fathers in this impeachment context. Founding Fathers, this, Founding Father that. Odd coming from such a pack of haters with Daddy issues. Founding Daddies are evil old rich white men!! Well, so I thought. Death to the Patriarchy! We love the founding Daddies. Hard to keep current.
    Finally, since the rules where forced down the R’s throat in the House impeachment hearing with fairness not even a consideration or afterthought, now the Lefties are screaming to the high heavens for fairness. This quote has been going through my mind for a week now….taken from an old Grey Zane paperback or an Western movie:
    “Ever wonder why those who cry for mercy the loudest are the least likely to give it?” That was followed by the blast of the gun upon the one who hunted down was trying to kill our protagonist.
    Ever wonder why those in the Senate (and Nancy and G-Spot) who cry for mercy the loudest are the least likely to grant mercy?

    “I wasn’t there. I don’t know the facts — that somebody in the congregation had their own gun and killed the person who murdered two other people,” Bloomberg told a crowd on Dec. 30 during a campaign event in Alabama. “But it’s the job of law enforcement to have guns and to decide when to shoot. You just do not want the average citizen carrying a gun in a crowded place.”

    (Gray News/AP) – Jack Wilson, the man who killed a Texas church shooter last month, will be honored by Gov. Greg Abbott next week.
    The Governor’s Medal of Courage is given to civilians who display great acts of heroism by risking their own safety to save another’s life.
    Wilson, a firearms instructor and reserve sheriff’s deputy, fired a single shot, quickly ending the attack by 43-year-old Keith Thomas Kinnunen on Dec. 29.
    Wilson had trained others in his church to use firearms to protect the congregation in the event of an active shooter.

    ast October, Attorney General William Barr appeared at Notre Dame Law School to make a case for ideological warfare. Before an assembly of students and faculty, Barr claimed that the “organized destruction” of religion was under way in the United States. “Secularists, and their allies among the ‘progressives,’ have marshalled all the force of mass communications, popular culture, the entertainment industry, and academia in an unremitting assault on religion and traditional values,” he said. Barr, a conservative Catholic, blamed the spread of “secularism and moral relativism” for a rise in “virtually every measure of social pathology”—from the “wreckage of the family” to “record levels of depression and mental illness, dispirited young people, soaring suicide rates, increasing numbers of angry and alienated young males, an increase in senseless violence, and a deadly drug epidemic.”

    President Donald Trump goaded Tehran for its habit of shutting down the Internet during popular uprisings in the same Sunday tweet where he told them, “DO NOT KILL YOUR PROTESTERS”:
    According to analysts at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, the Farsi language version of President Trump’s message of support for the Iranian people on Saturday became the “most-liked Persian tweet in the history of Twitter,” which might help explain the regime’s eagerness to intensify Internet shutdowns.

Most of that money went to pay off their debts and to facilitate their economic initiatives.” —former Secretary of State John Kerry
    Braying jenny: “This administration says starving the Iranian economy is in defense of human rights, when it is an abuse of them. … Escalation is deescalation. War is peace. In fact, they’re asking us to deny reality. … This administration has gone abroad in search of monsters to destroy. May God show us the way to freedom, independence, and peace.” —Rep. Ilhan Omar
    Non compos mentis: “Let’s send the message once and for all that God does not belong to a political party in the United States of America.” —Pete Buttigieg, whose party flat-out rejects God
    What could possibly go wrong? “We will move this country to public funding of elections.” —Sen. Bernie Sanders
    And last… “Weird how the same people who gawped at the Soleimani funeral crowds and blamed Trump for Iran shooting down a civilian airliner are now silent about the Iranians protesting the regime. Almost as though their agenda has nothing to do with the aspirations of the Iranian people.” —Ben Shapiro

    Travel-gate xpenses.
    Yep, they been floating that lead trial ballon around for over a week now. Been trying to gain traction, and even a lob every couple of days over here. At least somebody acknowledged the Comma Puppets’ lame attempts to gain traction over here. Wow. Crime of the Century.
    Under the heading ‘Waste of Time’.
    I could choose to say that when one of the Obama girls missed the cute WH puppy while skiing at a Colorado resort in continuation of their beach vacation, Marine One was sent to Florida to pick the pooch up. The SS had to rent the entire ski resort and ski runs so that Obama could ski, with SS in tow. All to himself.
    When a local TV guy figured out the cost of having the Obamas there for just one day for meals and expenses and the mountain (not the travel and other expenses), he ran the story on the local station. The station was called, the story was pulled, and never ran again. National Security reasons. The Obamas were there for 3 days. Guy almost lost his job.
    Oh, I could mention Marine One flying off somewhere to retrieve Hillary’s shoes, but I choose not to. It’s a waste of time.
    FYI Michele O had a staff of 125 in the WH just for her schedule a d correspondence and the like, while Melania had a staff of about 19 for the longest time, then it jumped to 29.
    Release those travel and security expenses! What are you hiding?. What, what, what???? I knew it! Trump the Liar is hiding real bad stuff. I just know what’s in those travel expenses. Eureka! We will get Bolden to spill the beans.
