From the Conservative Wall Street Journal
Donald Trump has lost the confidence of both of the major newspapers owned by Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News.
Under the headline, “The President Who Stood Still on Jan. 6,” The Wall Street Journal editorial board harshly criticized the former president.
The President Who Stood Still on Jan. 6
Even as the riot raged at the Capitol, Trump wouldn’t tell his supporters to stop.
“No matter your views of the Jan. 6 special committee, the facts it is laying out in hearings are sobering. The most horrifying to date came Thursday in a hearing on President Trump’s conduct as the riot raged and he sat watching TV, posting inflammatory tweets and refusing to send help,” the editorial board wrote.
“The committee’s critics are right that it lacks political balance,” the newspaper wrote. “Still, the brute facts remain: Mr. Trump took an oath to defend the Constitution, and he had a duty as Commander in Chief to protect the Capitol from a mob attacking it in his name. He refused. He didn’t call the military to send help. He didn’t call Mr. Pence to check on the safety of his loyal VP. Instead he fed the mob’s anger and let the riot play out.”

Trump was right again –
An FBI investigation into Chinese land purchases near critical infrastructure as well as the Huawei equipment found on many American cell towers has found the Chinese company’s telecom gear capable of capturing and even disrupting U.S. military communications, including that of the U.S. Strategic Command, which oversees America’s nuclear arsenal
According to former senior FBI agent John Lenkart, the agency began examining Huawei’s business activities from a financial perspective to find deals that “made no sense from a return-on-investment perspective.” Lenkart says, “A lot of [counterintelligence] concerns were uncovered based on.”

An “immaculation” is a Limbaugh term dating from Jan ’09, not from the dictionary, as in “the Obama immaculation” which was painfully over the top, a gaudy coronation ceremony.
So, will the fake homo sapiens sapiens ever stop the reruns from the summer of 2016, which took place while Trump was being spied on by multiple three letter agencies run by the Obama regime?

Confession is good for the soul: Apology tour begins.
‘NY Times columnists admit to being ‘wrong’ in series of mea culpas’
“The package of apologetic essays included a piece from Paul Krugman admitting that he was “wrong about inflation”; a mea culpa by Michelle Goldberg on her hasty call for Al Franken’s resignation; a column by Bret Stephens about his erroneous view of Trump voters; and Farhad Manjoo’s updated take on Facebook.
For his part, Krugman admitted to getting it wrong when it came to inflation (again!), noting that he brushed off any fears that President Biden’s $1.9 trillion rescue package could lead to inflation.
“Some warned that the package would be dangerously inflationary; others were fairly relaxed. I was Team Relaxed. As it turned out, of course, that was a very bad call,” he wrote, explaining that, in the end, he underestimated the impact of the pandemic on the economy.”

from Paul’s post: “Donald Trump has lost the confidence of both of the major newspapers owned by Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News.”
And here I had thought the big deal was that Trump had crafted and executed an insurrection!
So – no insurrection. No Trump indictment.
Now, we do have the matter of the sitting POTUS having lost the confidence of his own party, as well as the rest of the nation.
Who’s the big loser now?
Poor Paul – he bought all that special boutique popcorn to eat while sitting on the edge of his seat wide-eyed at the ‘revelations’ of the Jan 6th committee.
He was so sure, so eager for the smoking gun hearsay testimony to lead to a Trump conviction.
