Lowering the Barr

Just had a very nice meeting with Attorney General Bill Barr at the White House. Our relationship has been a very good one, he has done an outstanding job! As per letter, Bill will be leaving just before Christmas to spend the holidays with his family...
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 14, 2020

He should have never been hired in the first place.

I wonder how long it will be before the conciliatory words get replaced by accusatory ones from both sides, or if some kind of deal to play nice was made.

So They Think

Biden IS president-elect as California puts him over the 270 mark [More]

So I was right to dispute that before it was official?

All I can add is "We'll see about that."

We're the Only Ones Professionally Discourteous Enough

Burk repeatedly identified himself as a federal agent, and tells Fihe he will not get on the ground. He offered to show Fihe his badge, but Fihe tells him to keep his hands in the air. Another Columbus police officer Kevin Winchell then arrived on the scene, and also trained his gun on Burk. They again ordered him to the ground. [More]

Maybe he wondered if it was this Ohio ATF agent James Burk:

Police say ATF agent James Burk took expensive wine to the self-checkout lane and charged himself a small percent of the cost.

This seems as good a place as any for a plug...

So does this.

Not Radical Enough?

Joe Biden Said He’d “Follow the Science” on the Pandemic. He Isn’t. [More]

S'OK, indignant lefty "intellectuals." Be patient a little longer. He's just a placeholder.

And if you guys think it's really about science, well, your usefulness has an expiration date, too.

Working the Problem

Anyone who doesn’t understand his support for the movement “must have a problem,” he said. [More]

No, some of us understand what the Founders knew to be "necessary for the security of a free state."

What we don't understand is showing solidarity with communists bent on destroying the Republic and imperiling it further by opening the borders to invaders.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Term 'Right-Wing' Is

Obama’s TEVUS crime database hides BLM, ANTIFA violence and inflates white, right-wing violence [More]

Well, yeah. How else are you going to sustain the narrative?

Seeing as how neo-Nazis, that is, new National Socialists (and that's what Nazis are), have nothing to do with AMERICAN "conservatives," I'd say labeling people who self-identify as such as "right-wing" category deliberately skews the stats even more.

Now show us some "Constitutionalist violence."

#MeToo Only Cuts One Way?

One of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s former advisers on Sunday accused the New York Democrat of sexually harassing her “for years,” saying, “I *know* I am not the only woman.” [More]

Not to defend randy Andy, but what stopped her from putting an immediate stop to it? Cowardice and/or ambition? Either way, that shows she's wholly unqualified to be trusted with political power.

That and she's a neo-communist "progressive" idiot...

What I like is all the Democrats on Twitter not falling in lockstep with #BelieveWomen and challenging her because it threatens their guy.

We're the Only Ones Getting Into the Holiday Spirit Enough

Video shows the officer dressed as an elf holding a man at gunpoint, while the officer dressed in full St. Nick attire tackles a suspect, according to footage posted to YouTube by the Riverside Police Department. [More]

So am I allowed to chase after someone who steals from me and hold him at gunpoint, and follow through as necessary?

Ho ho ho...

Yet One More 'Prohibited Person'

Suspect charged in Caitlyn Kaufman murder has lengthy criminal history [More]

And a violent one at that.

So what was he doing without a custodian?

And why isn't he charged with a hate crime?

And how much collectivist destruction could we have expected had the police not taken him alive?

Fear not: Our intrepid Mayor Briley's got the answer!

The Tree Doesn't Stand Far from the Fallen Fruit

Assuming we’re only talking about the Hunter Biden material, some journalists would need to move quickly to file FOIA requests for all of the information. But even then, the clock would be ticking. Whoever receives the FOIA requests could slow walk them until January 26th, at which point Joe Biden could simply classify them again. [More]

Speaking of slow walking Hunter Biden-related FOIA requests...

It had a picture of the forbidden sign, but it looks like Twitter ordered this information concealed from us. Here's what it's about.

Actually, if whoever put it up can be forced to take it down, it's about a lot more than that.

His logic is right.

He forgot to add it will be committed in a "gun-free zone" with an "assault weapon," and that a critical mass of Republicans will fold.

The Real Takeaway from This?

Multiple news outlets have reported this week that a federal investigation into Hunter Biden’s “tax affairs” is focused on his foreign business activities, including with CEFC. [More]

So by "multiple news outlets," does that mean Joe's usefulness is coming to an end?

Nothing to See Here

The new email bolsters a key charge in Huddleston’s filing: that David Hardy, the FBI’s records chief, was wrong when he said in two affidavits that the FBI searched for records pertaining to Rich but could not find any. [More]

Because he is incompetent, a perjurer, or both?

And no, of course not THAT David Hardy...

In the chaotic atmosphere of 2020, we're a crucial resource in the fight against disinformation. Right now we’re preserving history as it unfolds, keeping track of who’s saying what and when—all without charging for access, selling user data, or running ads. Instead, we rely on the generosity of individuals to help us keep the record straight. They’re trying to change history—don’t let them. [More]

In all the time I've been writing I have never asked readers for money for myself. I ask you to respond to this appeal because what they are doing is important, and for the admittedly selfish reason that this is the only place you can go that archives much of my published work from the past 20+ years, as regulars can tell by the frequency I link to it. If it goes, that's gone.

As always, I'm not asking you for "charity." I am saying that if you get value from the work to give some value in return. And as always, I never ask others to do that which I am not ready to do myself:

Judicial Watch announced today that it received 210 pages of records from the State Department which show that former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie “Masha” Yovanovitch had specifically warned in 2017 about corruption allegations against Burisma Holdings. During her November 2019 testimony in the impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump, Yovanovitch told lawmakers that she knew little about Burisma. [More]

Everywhere you pull a thread you find a crook and liar.

Now good luck finding someone with the ability to do anything about it that's not also a crook and liar.
