    The fake evidence was classified “top secret”.. National security was the line of BS.
    Yet the FBI and DOJ leaked the false info to the Proggy Press.
    Why? to smear Trump..(Right Emery?) Trump was getting too much accomplished. How dare he put America first. How dare he get the price of fuel down to a sane level.
    Biden has “fixed” all that.. How’s that begging OPEC and Putin for more output going?
    So how are all the new arrivals getting fed? At last count Biden has let in 2.8 million, and plenty more on the way.

    Not that Emery gives a damn,,,
    ”
    Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm laughed out loud when asked during an interview Friday what her plan was to ease gasoline prices nationwide.
    “That is hilarious,” Granholm laughed when asked by a Bloomberg anchor. “Would that I had the magic wand on this.”
    Granholm then blamed Middle Eastern oil providers, repeating a Biden administration claim that oil prices are largely out of the federal government’s control. Crude oil prices, which are closely linked to both inflation and gasoline prices, surged again Friday after the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and Russian producers declined to boost output at President Joe Biden’s request.”

    Sweeney has refused to concede the race to Durr, who was slated by election watchers as having already attained victory. Sweeney was down more than 2,000 votes to Durr before he claimed that 12,000 more votes were found.”
    Now how do you lose 12,000 votes?
    WOW!! MORE “lost” ballots magically appear.
    “Meanwhile, numerous Election Day hijinx has struck the swamp-filled Garden State in the race between incumbent Democrat Phil Murphy and Republican challenger Jack Ciattarelli. The GOP candidate saw a 42,000 vote lead evaporate in the late hours of Election Night, when 40,000 absentee votes were suddenly ‘discovered’ in Bergen County after 100% of the votes were said to be reported.”

    But modern times call for white lefties to assume it must be bad:
    “…some (including my husband) – believe this expression references lynching a black person. “The jig is up” meaning the black person is hanging from a tree.”
    See – it’s like the word ‘picnic’. It was never a racist term but let’s make it one because white people like picnics. And since white folk are all racists, whatever they like to do MUST be racist.

    Probably not quite close to the pain George felt having his head bashed against the pavement, but I guess if you feel the need to avoid the woke mob harassing you, you can at least do some virtue signalling as you wimp out.

    Obviously because a)the FBI has hitched it’s star to a certain political party (making this perfectly clear was one of the gifts from Trump) and b)they’re on a fishing expedition at places like Project Veritas.
    It’s fun to look at how the infamous diary was never covered at CNN or the NYT back when it was a new story. All I’m finding is various ‘fact checkers’ calling it ‘false’ back 6 months or so.
    Trump was just the man to kick the hornet’s nest and show sane people who really runs affairs. Electing a President or Governor doesn’t really accomplish much, the veering from any kind of traditional values is system-wide and not stopped by merely electing some guy. And Lo, the power of identity groups was felt across the land. The Republic is dead.

    ” in this very space my views on specific issues are lumped under convenient categorical labels like “leftist,” “liberal,” “Democrat,” or “teacher” and dismissed. Certainly, I’m not alone. Labels and easy dismissal are a common tactic of the most partisan in our community.”
    .and.
    “…In a trumpian way, you answered my original question….”
    The art of introspection is dead I’m afraid. Sorry to pick on some random dude on a different website, but it just cracked me up.
    I did notice that Mr. Gregory brought up slave ownership of blacks by Native Americans. Of course, that doesn’t bring up the culture of slave ownership in pre-Columbian America generally. In a reasonable world, you’d simply have a high school history section on the early new world, good/bad/ugly, but that’ll never happen…. but you can dream.
    I’ll grind through ‘Slavery in Indian Country’ (Christina Snyder / Oxford Press) and see if it can be on the reading list.
    I suppose a person could write a book on what I’ll call ‘African-American Exceptionalism’. That somehow slavery was different in the US (which received a small fraction of slave shipments from Africa), that the timeline was somehow different (when slavery ran out of gas sometime in the mid-18th C. practically everywhere, perhaps due to the industrial revolution.), and that something that was a worldwide concept was unique to the United States. The one-star reviews will flow on Amazon.
