It’s Monday, May 21st, 2018…but before we begin, we found this headline from USAToday rather ironic:

In the second Gilded Age, the mansions get bigger, and the homeless get closer

 

Welcome to Los Angeles, the City of Angels, hotbed of Progressive hypocrisy and surreal sanctum of Hollywood excess.  Where this could you yours

…for a cool $500,000,000.  Though more modest accommodations in close proximity are available…

…just down the hill.  Then again, as has been proven repeatedly, patient buyers can always wait for the occasional…

…fire sale!  Bottomline, we find it incredibly hypocritical USAToday, as reliable a provider of Progressive propaganda as the MSM offers, would fail to mention anywhere in its article the folks occupying the vast majority of the mansions in and around L.A. which abut the homeless encampments are Far Leftists, in both their political leanings and social views.

We can only assume a quick risk/reward analysis indicated it’s still better to face the occasional firestorm resulting from out-of-control cooking conflagrations…

…than inviting those doing the cooking to dinner inside walls protected by sophisticated security and oftentimes armed guards. 

Oh, and lest we forget, unless we missed something (like any display of RACISM or RACIAL PROFILING!!!) here’s the latest…

…in a seemingly endless stream of proven false claims of racism inspired by the most divisive President since Abraham Lincoln, and perpetuated by an entire industry of hustlers whose livelihood depends upon the preservation of the myth America remains a racist society.  Though it should be noted, unlike B. Hussein, Honest Abe…

…was divisive in a purely positive fashion.

Now, given we have guests for dinner, here’s a somewhat abbreviated installment of The Gouge!

First up, John Brennan provides additional evidence why he’s known as the…

Note the dates on the tweets: exactly like Andy McCabe, Brennan’s not only an a*shole, but a lying a*shole at that!  That this a*sclown was given positions of ever-increasing authority speaks directly to the moral and ethical bankruptcy of the Obama Administration.

That is, unless the results of the latest Venezuelan election accurately represented the will of the people!  Please note how the ABC and Al Jazeera reports didn’t significantly vary.

Next, writing at the WSJ, Kimberly Strassel, who, to the best of our knowledge, was first to suggest Hillary would be given a walk because Obama had repeatedly communicated with her over her private email server, asks another intriguing question:

Was Trump’s Campaign ‘Set Up’?

At some point, the Russia investigation became political. How early was it?

 

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes appeared on “Fox & Friends” Tuesday, where he provided a potentially explosive hint at what’s driving his demand to see documents related to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Trump-Russia probe. “If the campaign was somehow set up,” he told the hosts, “I think that would be a problem.”

Or an understatement. Mr. Nunes is still getting stiff-armed by the Justice Department over his subpoena, but this week his efforts did force the stunning admission that the FBI had indeed spied on the Trump campaign. This came in the form of a Thursday New York Times apologia in which government “officials” acknowledged that the bureau had used “at least one” human “informant” to spy on both Carter Page and George Papadopoulos. The Times slipped this mind-bending fact into the middle of an otherwise glowing profile of the noble bureauand dismissed it as no big deal.

But there’s more to be revealed here, and Mr. Nunes’s “set up” comment points in a certain direction. Getting to the conclusion requires thinking more broadly about events beyond the FBI’s actions.

Think of the 2016 Trump-Russia narrative as two parallel strands—one politics, one law enforcement. The political side involves the actions of Fusion GPS, the Hillary Clinton campaign and Obama officials—all of whom were focused on destroying Donald Trump. The law-enforcement strand involves the FBI—and what methods and evidence it used in its Trump investigation. At some point these strands intersected—and one crucial question is how early that happened…”

In other words, what did Obama know…

and when did he know it

Maybe…just maybe

Trump to ‘demand’ Justice probe whether feds spied on campaign for political purposes

 

…we’re on the road to finding out.  Though, given the The Donald hasn’t been able, if indeed he’s willing, to force the DOJ to cooperate with Congress doesn’t leave us awash in optimism this command will be obeyed.

After all, We knowKNOW, without any scintilla of doubt…Obama was aware Hillary was using a private email server to avoid FOIA requirements, because he communicated with her through it on numerous occasions. Yet she and her minions remain beyond the reach of justice, thanks to Jeff Sessions and House Republicans who, while they continue to talk tough, are incredibly short on any kind a meaningful action.

So here’s to you, Jeff, Secretary of the Recusal who enabled all of this to be put in motion:

In a related item, NRO‘s Andy McCarthy details why…

In Politicized Justice, Desperate Times Call for Disparate Measures

FBI director Comey and the Obama Justice Department applied a double standard in their handling of the Clinton-email and Trump–Russia investigations.

 

“…If you or I had set up an unauthorized private communications system for official business for the patent purpose of defeating federal record-keeping and disclosure laws; if we had retained and transmitted thousands of classified emails on this non-secure system; if we had destroyed tens of thousands of government records; if we had carried out that destruction while those records were under subpoena; if we had lied to the FBI in our interviewwell, we’d be writing this column from the federal penitentiary in Leavenworth. Yet, in a feat of dizzying ratiocination, Director Comey explained that to prosecute Mrs. Clinton would be to hold her to a nitpicking, selective standard of justice not imposed on other Americans…”

Here’s the juice: James Comey is as much a traitor to his country as the Rosenbergs, Bo Bergdahl, Bradley Manning, Benedict Arnold, Aldrich Ames, Robert Hanssen or the Walkers

And we for one are unafraid to put Andrew McCabe, Rod Rosenstein, Barack Hussein Obama, Cheryl Mills, Huma Abedin, James Clapper, John Brennan, Hillary Clinton and everyone/anyone else who facilitated or cooperated in what is the most corrupt act of unconstitutional subterfuge ever perpetrated in our nation’s history in the same category as Comey!!!

Since we’re on the subject of lying Liberals, as Tim Meads notes at Townhall.com:

Elizabeth Warren Boldly Pledges to Never Take Money from a Group that Has Never Donated to Her

 

“Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the Native American* Democrat from Massachusetts, has boldly pledged to refuse to accept donations from the National Rifle Association. Which really does not change anything because, according to OpenSecrets.org, the NRA has never donated to Sen. Warren in the first place.

Still, Sen. Warren is being praised for this decision announced via NowthisNews.com in which she proudly proclaims, “It’s time we strip the NRA of its stranglehold over our children’s lives.”…”

Atta girl, Liawatha!  No word from Warren whether she will likewise refuse contributions from the manufacturers of bows and arrows, tomahawks, scalping knives and/or firewater.

Which bring us to The Lighter Side:


Finally, we’ll call it a day with yet another titillating tale torn from the pages of The Crime Blotter, and this just in from the Sunshine State:

Florida woman smiles in mugshot after DUI crash that killed mother

 

As TLJ is so want to observe, you should always look your best!
