It’s Monday, August 6th, 2018…but before we begin, courtesy of Hillsdale College’s Imprimis, Richard Colt forwarded the following taken from a speech by Edward J. Erler, professor emeritus of political science at California State University, San Bernardino, in which he questions the veracity of the very core of contemporary Progressive politics:
The excerpt is somewhat lengthy, but well worth your time. Given the source, it will come as no surprise Professor Erler isn’t of the same school of politically-correct thought…
…which infects so much of America, particularly at the highest levels of the Dimocratic Party and their career-conscious shills in the Bush/Obama-era Military.
Now, here’s The Gouge!
First up, writing at NRO courtesy of Steve Boss, the great Victor Davis Hanson details how…
“What is disturbing about the Mueller investigation is not per se that a special counsel is looking into charges of wrongdoing known as “collusion,” but that he is indicting or leveraging suspects, amid a larger landscape of related perceived wrongdoers, who so far have not been subject to the same federal zeal.
We do not know all the details, but the public wonders exactly why Michael Flynn was leveraged to confess about lying to federal authorities (in theory, in part due to surveillance obtained by questionable FISA warrants), while, for example, Clinton aides Human Abedin and Cheryl Mills were given partial immunity for their reported misleading statements about their knowledge of the Clinton email server.
People rightly wonder whether there will be consequences facing Andrew McCabe for allegedly lying about leaking to federal investigators, or for the flagrant way that John Brennan has so serially prevaricated under oath to Congress (about Senate staff computers, drone collateral damage, and the seeding of the Steele dossier).
If it turns out that DOJ and FBI officials deliberately misled FISA justices by not disclosing that they knew the Steele dossier was a product of Clinton-purchased opposition research, or that the collaborative news accounts they cited to the court were in truth circular offspring of the Steele dossier, then certainly they should be held legally accountable.The logical inference would be that they feared such full and honest disclosures might endanger the granting of the warrants.
By all means press, again, Paul Manafort to the fullest extent of the law if he violated statutes and unlawfully lobbied for foreign interests, but surely, we must treat the possibly same exposure of Tony Podesta in the same manner.
Military and civilian personnel have gone to jail for carelessly leaking classified documents or destroying evidence of interest to federal prosecutors.James Comey and Hillary Clinton should face the same liability, given their admissions that Comey likely leaked at least one possibly classified government document, written on government equipment on government time, and Clinton illegally used a private server which in some cases transmitted classified materials.
It is illegal to leak to the press unmasked names of those swept up in classified FISA surveillance. And yet we know at least a few names of those surveilled were filtered to the press. Those responsible must face the same prosecutorial zeal that Mueller has so far shown others…”
We love how this quote, forwarded from Balls Cotton and attributed to Ross Rant, puts it:
“Hillary wipes her server, destroys her mobile phones, paid a foreign spy and Russia for false crap on Trump, the FBI uses it improperly for a FISA warrant, the DNC still never turned over their server, DOJ won’t give Congress the files, Hilary and Debbie manipulated the primary to keep Bernie from winning, and the media is all in a dither about…trumpets blare please…did Don Jr tell his father there was to be a meaningless meeting with some Russian lawyer that lasted 20 minutes about adoptions. Maybe I missed the point.“
As did we…as did we…along with every other inquiring mind who wants to know the truth!!!
In a related item which evokes a MSM from a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, writing at Townhall.com, the venerable Don Lambro evinces memories of a Fourth Estate the Founders wouldn’t find functioning today:
“A transgender [man] is suing [his] former employer, Starbucks, for harassment and discrimination, claiming [he] was mistreated after revealing [his] plans to transition from male to female.
Maddie Wade filed the complaint with the Fresno Superior Court, which alleges [his] manager, Dustin Guthrie, treated [him] differently after [he] told him [he] was going to start hormone therapy and have facial feminization surgery, the Fresno Bee reports.
…In March, Wade transferred to a different Starbucks location but felt that the discrimination followed [him], so [he] eventually quit on the advice of [his] doctor, ABC 30 reports…”
Of course it did…because Starbucks has always been anti-LBGTQ. Yeah,…
By the way, as we refuse to recognize the pronouns preferred by the mentally-ill, the brackets above indicate our insertion of the correct biologically-based terms.
“Zombie Boy — a model and artist known for his extensive tattoos, including of a skull and brain on his head — has died of an apparent suicide, Canadian media reported…He held world records for having the most bones tattooed on his body at 139, and the most insect tattoos, with 176, according to Guinness World Records…”
Somehow, Lady Gaga’s devastation notwithstanding, we’ve a feeling the rest of the world will somehow muddle on without him…as well as enjoy a deeper gene pool.
Since we’re on the subject of those who won’t be missed, like Taylor in Platoon,…
At the risk of seeming overly harsh, had John McCain stayed out of politics, we’d actually mourn his passing. As it is, given his history, America will be a better off without him.
Which brings us to The Lighter Side:
Finally, we’ll call it a wrap with yet another titillating tale torn from the pages of The Crime Blotter, as…
So far there’s no notice as to whether these laughing policemen are going to be summarily dismissed like the two Roswell officers caught flipping a coin on the woman guilty of doing 80 in a 45 mph zone. Just sayin’!!!
