NO ONE DESERVES THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE MORE

trump-nobel-peace-prize-winnerThe United Arab Emirates will establish full diplomatic relations with Israel, President Trump announced last Thursday (8/13).

It is a “huge achievement,” said Washington Post columnist David Ignatius.

A “key step for peace,” said Dennis Ross, who tried (and failed) to negotiate Middle East peace treaties during the Obama administration.

Others called the peace agreement “historic,” said it will bring “massive change” to the Middle East.

The Trump administration’s foreign policy has been disastrous, Democrats assert.

BIDEN IS THE DEMS’ UNSOLVABLE DILEMMA

x
If you find yourself having to choose between two roughly equally unpalatable alternatives, you are at a Morton’s Fork.

Democrats rushed headlong to a Morton’s Fork when they, and the Lying Swine, attacked President Trump for calling attention to Slow Joe Biden’s cognitive decline.

What Trump and right wing radio talk show hosts say about Biden’s mental state is “offensive” and “unworldly,” said CNN’s Brian “Donuts” Stelter.  Biden is as sharp as a tack. Why just last weekend, he went for a bike ride!  What more proof of his mental fitness could you need??

So they’re stuck with Dementia Joe – then it’s on to second fork.

THE NECESSITY OF TRUMP

trump-necessityThe MSM are out to get him. So are academia, the military-industrial complex, big business and the federal bureaucracy, much of the GOP Elite.

With all these powerful enemies arrayed against him, President Trump doesn’t need fair weather “friends” who threaten to jump off the Trump train over the slightest disagreements.

Many Trump supporters on social media think they’re smarter than the president, get peevish when he doesn’t follow their unsolicited advice. They tend to jerk their knees in reaction to events, pop off before all facts are known, don’t consider how those facts look to people who aren’t hardcore conservatives.

When are these folks going to wake up and realize the Necessity of Trump?  He’s all there is between us and a horrific nightmare come true.

A LIFE OF BITTER RESENTMENT AND FAILURE

So much fear, anger, and unhappiness in her eyes

So much fear, anger, and unhappiness in her eyes

Mary Trump doesn’t like her Uncle Donald very much.

Mary, 55, a psychologist, is the daughter of Fred Trump Jr., President Trump’s elder brother. She’s written a tell-all book that will go on sale next Tuesday (7/14).

Mary is a big time leftist.  After Hillary conceded and her uncle became President-Elect in the wee hours of November 9, 2016, she tweeted:

NO COMPLACENCY – AND NO BEING GASLIGHTED EITHER

x
Slow Joe Biden held a news conference Tuesday (6/30). As you can see, it was hilarious.

Journalistic toadies tossed him softball questions that had been pre-cleared with Biden’s staff. He still screwed it up, lapsing into incoherence several times during the 28-minute presser.

After this debacle, it may be another 89 days before Biden emerges from his basement again.  Gaslighting between now and election day will be surreal.

The leftist narrative most at odds with reality is that Slow Joe can beat President Trump.

IS TRUMP FIGHTING BACK?

Starting to fight back

Starting to fight back

Support for President Trump among older white voters is declining, polls indicate.

I suspect such slippage as there has been is chiefly because many older Americans share the view of Tucker Carlson and some other conservative pundits that the president isn’t doing enough to protect us from the Marxist mobs.

If you do not protect (your people) – or worse than that, if you seem that you can’t be bothered to protect them, then you’re done,” Carlson said in a monologue after the rioting in Washington D.C.

Watching arrogant, ignorant punks and thugs loot and burn and tear down national monuments with apparent impunity fills me with rage. I’d love to see cops wade into these mobs with truncheons swinging, crack some skulls.

But as my rage subsides, I remember this…

DEMOCRATS RELEASE THE KRAKEN

x
Democrats have released The Kraken. It will devour them.

Democrats subsidize Antifa Communists and BLM thugs and make excuses for their violence in the hopes the disorder they cause will hurt President Trump in November.

But the monsters they’ve let loose on society are more interested in tearing down the system than in perpetuating Democrat control of it.

In 1964, Lyndon Johnson won 61.9 percent of the popular vote. Four years later his vice president, Hubert Humphrey, got just 42.7 percent.

What happened in between were race riots, and “anti-war” riots and bombings instigated by Antifa’s Commie predecessors such as the Weathermen.

HEY, BLM! WHERE’S MY CHECK?

calvin-the-deplorableMarxists seek to destroy the history of the nations and peoples they hope to enslave, because if you don’t know where you came from, you don’t know who you are. And if you don’t know how things were back then, you don’t know how far we’ve come.

History doesn’t repeat itself. But people who are ignorant of history tend to make the same mistakes their ancestors did. The study of history, in context, is essential to progress.

After genocide, slavery has been mankind’s most egregious sin. And after prostitution, the most ubiquitous. Slavery has been practiced by every tribe on every continent since the beginning of time.

Marxists imply slavery was especially horrible in America, which is the opposite of the truth.

ARE DEMS STUCK WITH JOE?

meet-joe-black If I could feel sorry for anyone on Team Biden – and forget that! – it would be for his press secretary, who must feel like the guy with the shovel who walks behind the elephants at the circus.

Slow Joe’s most recent gaffe makes plain why he (a) can’t be permitted to speak in public without a script; (b) can’t be permitted to speak for more than four or five minutes, tops, and (c) can’t be interviewed by anyone who isn’t a toady throwing softballs.

But as we’ll see below, they may be stuck with him.

THE SOPORIFIC SHAMPEACHMENT

x
When you don’t have much to say – especially when what you have to say is a farrago of half-truths, baseless speculation, mind reading, insults, threats and easily disproved lies – it isn’t a good idea to spend nearly 24 hours saying it over and over and over again.

Proof that in a little less than two hours Saturday (1/25) the president’s lawyers utterly demolished the Democrats’ case for impeachment is that afterward the only complaint CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin could make is that they are all white men.

There are two audiences for the impeachment charade: the American people, and the Senators who will vote on the president’s guilt or innocence. Both were bored to tears by the rambling, repetitive, disingenuous presentations of the House managers.

SOLEIMANI’S DEATH, AND THE DEMS WANT WAR

soleimani-and-trumpAmerica’s foremost enemies have suffered a devastating defeat. The mullahs in Iran got roughed up too.

To avenge the death of their leader, Qassem Soleimani, killed in a drone strike as he was leaving Baghdad International Airport, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps fired short range ballistic missiles at two bases in Iraq where U.S. troops are stationed.

WW3 as kabuki. Fifteen SRBMs were fired. Four failed on launch, the other 11 killed no Americans or Iraqis, did only minor property damage.

It’s statistically improbable to get such poor results by accident. If the IRGC seriously were trying to kill Americans, they’d have fired many more than 15 SRBMs.

But that would have brought about a prompt, smoking end to the regime. The mullahs weren’t escalating. They were pleading for mercy.

WHY IS GLOOMBERG RUNNING?

gloomberg-joins-the-raceFormer New York City Mayor Nanny Bloomberg announced his candidacy for president Monday (11/25).

He pledged to spend at least $100 million of his $54.5 billion fortune on his campaign, mostly on ads attacking President Trump.

The president doesn’t seem worried.

There’s nobody I’d rather run against than Little Michael (Bloomberg is 5’7”),” Trump said. “He’s got some big issues, some personal problems. He’ll spend a lot of money, but he’ll fail.”

Little Michael’s announcement generated only a few hundred retweets on Twitter Monday – out of 2.3 million followers. If the dogs won’t eat the dog food…

Bloomberg isn’t running because of popular demand. So why is he running?

THE UKRAINE COOKIE JAR

ukraine-cookie-jarIf the Lying Swine don’t already regret going all in to promote the Shifty Schiff impeachment farce, they will soon.

Approval of President Trump has risen since the hearings began. Support for impeachment plunged.

Even though the broadcast as well as the cable networks covered it live, not many watched the first hearing. Viewership dropped significantly since.

The essence of the Schiff-show is Kafka-esque: Democrats want to impeach Trump for not doing what Joe Biden did.  Cartoonist Ben Garrison calls it The Ukraine Cookie Jar.  He’s right and here’s why.

WHISTLING IN THE DARK

Rep. Adam Schiff scheduled four days of hearings this week and next for his impeachment “inquiry.”

After the way things went in the kickoff hearing Wednesday (11/12), he should rethink that.

Day one a dud for Dems on Trump impeachment,” said CNN contributor Scott Jennings.  Yes, CNN.

HALF-FULL REPORT 08/16/19

jeffrey-epstein-suicideJeffrey Epstein’s demise is the biggest news of the week, month, year to date. When first we learned of it, many both Left and Right suspected an assisted suicide.

For hours on Saturday (8/10), until the censors woke up, Clinton Body Count and Clinton Crime Family were trending on Twitter. Which indicates the MSM is losing control of the narrative.

*Harry Beller is not at his office, which is permanently closed. Reporters can’t find Harry at home. He may be on vacation in Europe, associates say, but don’t know where.

Odds are Harry is in hiding, in witness protection, or in a landfill somewhere.

*The Trump administration announced Monday ((8/12) the final version of a “public charge” rule which will increase substantially the ability of the government to deny green cards to legal immigrants who are likely to go on welfare.

*He’s prepared to break up Facebook, Twitter, and other major technology platforms if they are harming competition, Joe Simons, Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, said in an interview Tuesday (8/13).

*If this poll is accurate, Slow Joe Biden is a dead man walking.

MUELLER PUZZLES

mueller-puzzlesLeftists who tuned in Wednesday (7/24) to watch their hero nail the evil Drumpf were as shocked and dismayed as Dorothy, Scarecrow and Tin Man were when they discovered the great and powerful Wizard of Oz was just a little old man behind a curtain.

Two burning questions emerge from the Dems’ dumpster fire that was Robert Mueller’s testimony to the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees.

Why did Democrats think this was a good idea? Dems negotiated with the former Special Counsel for weeks to arrange for his testimony. Didn’t any of them notice that Mueller’s capacities had, ah, diminished?

Which leads to the second question: Why did Mueller agree to testify?  He just destroyed himself.  How come?

*Democrats in the House of Representatives – with a big assist from a very stable genius– committed political suicide.

 

*Jeffrey Epstein was denied bail. Elites in New York, DC and Palm Beach freak out over the imminent release of 2,000 pages of documentation about who partied with him.

 

*Iran escalates provocations.

 

*His administration will investigate charges of treason against Google, the president said.

 

*In one courtroom, the case against Michael Flynn’s business partner fell apart. In another, the judge indicated he’ll read the Riot Act to Flynn’s former lawyers.

HALF-FULL REPORT 07/12/19

epstein-chargedThe arrest Saturday (7/6) and indictment Monday (7/8) of (purported) billionaire, (confirmed) pedophile and major Democrat donor Jeffrey Epstein indicates the Storm has finally begun. From now on, the only news Democrats get that isn’t bad will be worse.

CD roms the FBI seized from a safe in Epstein’s $77 million Manhattan town house suggest he was blackmailing hundreds of prominent people.

A decision by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has made Planned Parenthood very, very unhappy.

At a Social Media Summit yesterday (7/11), President Trump blasted the barons of Big Tech for lying to him about censorship, pledged to explore “all regulatory and legislative measures to protect free speech.”

OBAMA REMOVED THE CENSUS CITIZENSHIP QUESTION SO TRUMP CAN PUT IT BACK IN

trump-on-census-citizenshipShould there be a citizenship question on the 2020 census? Will there be?

Those questions have been much in the news lately, because:

The Supreme Court ruled the question could be asked…if the Commerce Department provided a better rationale for asking it.

Then the Commerce Department said that because of time constraints, the census forms will be printed without a citizenship question.

President Trump countermanded that, ordered the Justice Department to revisit the issue with the courts pronto.

A day later, the president said he may issue an executive order to have a citizenship question included.

HALF-FULL REPORT 06/28/19

who-wants-to-loseA Supreme Court decision cast a little shade on an otherwise great MAGA week.

*President Trump won a big victory when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi folded like a cardboard suitcase on a supplemental appropriation to deal with the border emergency.

San Fran Nan’s surrender kills a Democrat talking point, deepens the rift between Progressives and what passes for moderates in her caucus.

*The Commerce department needs to justify better it’s reasons for including a citizenship question on the questionnaire for the next census, the Supreme Court ruled Thursday (6/27), with Chief Justice Roberts voting with the libs.

But Roberts voted with the conservatives on the big issue – that Commerce has the right to ask the citizenship question – so the setback likely will be temporary.

*In another decision yesterday, the Supremes ruled that reapportionment decisions are not justiciable.

This kills, dead, for good and always Democrat efforts to encourage judicial gerrymandering.

*The Silicon Valley fascists are trying to rig the 2020 election, President Trump said Wednesday (6/26). It’s time to punish them.

Mueller will testify. Flynn’s new attorney thinks Team Mueller withheld exculpatory information. Dem presidential candidates commit mass seppuku on live tv. For that and more, read on:

THE PRESIDENT IS WINNING ALREADY

Take a deep breath. Exhale slowly. Relax. President Trump is NOT going to attack Iran. He doesn’t have to. As even this Bloomberg News writer acknowledges, the president is winning already.

trump-is-winning-already The most true part of Trump’s explanation for why he called off a retaliatory strike after Iran shot down a reconnaissance drone is when he said: “I’m in no hurry.”

HALF-FULL REPORT 06/21/19

trump-re-election-campaign-launchIn the news this week:

*To the consternation of Democrats, Never Trumpers and the Lying Swine, President Trump did NOT order a military strike against Iran, but at the same time scared the mullahs (spitless).

*The president formally announced his campaign for re-election before by far the largest crowd in the history of American politics.

The overflow for the event Tuesday (6/18) was larger than all the “crowds” to date for all the Dem presidential candidates combined.

*The head of a sex cult tied to prominent Democrats was convicted on charges likely to put him away for life.

*On the eve of the first Democrat “debates,” Gaffetastic Sleepy Creepy Joe Biden stepped in it yet again.

There’s more news, mostly good news. Let’s get to it.

*President Trump announced yesterday (5/30) he’ll impose tariffs on all goods coming from Mexico until such time as the flow of illegal immigrants coming through Mexico stops.

*The Supreme Court smacked around Planned Parenthood.

*In elections for the European Parliament, Brexit won big in Britain, Angela Merkel lost big in Germany.

*Thanks to U.S. pressure, the Hezbollah militia is withdrawing from Syria, Russia won’t sell S-400 missiles to Iran.

*A privately funded group headed by Brian Kolfage, a vet and a triple amputee, has built a half mile of border wall at a major crossing point near El Paso.

HALF-FULL REPORT 05/24/19

trump-tweet-052319The news we’ve been anticipating for lo these many moons is finally here. Late last night President Trump authorized Attorney General Bill Barr to declassify documents pertaining to the origins of Spygate.

The shrieks of terror and howls of pain from Democrats were schadenfreudelicious.

In other news:

*British Prime Minister Theresa May announced her resignation today (5/24) after exit polls indicated the brand new Brexit Party crushed establishment parties in elections yesterday for the European Parliament.

May is being bounced chiefly for bungling Brexit. But some think soon to revealed details about British spying on Trump’s campaign for president was also a factor.

Earlier in the week “populist” prime ministers in India and Australia were re-elected.

*The administration is sending 1,500 more troops to the Gulf to protect American troops and diplomatic personnel for Iranian threats.

The additional troops are for force protection only, are not – as numbnuts left and right assert – the start of a buildup for a ground war.

*Progressives want to throw all pro-Lifers out of the Democrat Party. Two recent polls make clear this would be a catastrophic mistake.

There’s a lot more. Let’s dig into it.

HALF-FULL REPORT 05/17/19

deputy-atty-general-rod-rosenstein-retiresThe biggest news in a week filled with big news is:

*The Justice Department revealed Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein ran a massive sting. Coup plotters are royally screwed.

*End game is approaching with Iran. Despite their bellicose rhetoric, the crisis is more likely to end with a whimper from the mullahs than a bang.

*President Trump unveiled his plans for immigration reform, is contemplating invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807 to throw out of the country illegals who cross before reform can be enacted.

Nancy Pelosi backtracked from her assertion there is no crisis at the border, signaling a deal may be possible this year.

*The signs abound the Spygate tsunami will reach landfall next week. Democrats are – and ought to be – scared spitless.

WHAT LOSER WILL THE DEMS PUT UP IN 2020?

2020-dem-hopefuls Who will President Trump run against next year?

It’s way too early to know, and the revelations of the next 2-3 months will shake things up a lot. But it’s fun to speculate.

I hope it will be Creepy Uncle Joe Biden for several reasons, but not even many Democrats are fond of corrupt racist perverts who are really stupid.   So here’s what I think will happen to Slow Joe, Breadline Bernie, and other various sad sacks.

IS ROBERT MUELLER A JUDAS GOAT?

mueller-monsterIs Robert Mueller Dr. Jekyll? Or is he Mr. Hyde?  Judging by the Special Counsel’s final report, he’s both.

Volume I killed the Russia collusion narrative dead, then drove a wooden stake through its heart.  After crushing moonbat hopes in Volume I, the Mueller report revived them in Volume II by implying President Trump may have obstructed justice.

The Lying Swine jumped on “obstruction” with the same zest and enthusiasm with which they flogged the bogus collusion narrative.

Democrats and Fake Newsers marched arm-in-arm, in lockstep, to promote collusion. But now their interests sharply diverge.

THE HIT ON CREEPY JOE

china-bidding-bidenIt’s fun to watch Democrats cannibalize each other.

Former Vice President Joe Biden, who leads big in polls for the Democrat nomination for president, was preparing to throw his hat in the ring. So other Dems are trying to take him out.

Biden touched me inappropriately in 2014, Nancy Flores, a former Democrat state senator in Nevada, said in this article last Friday (3/29). That wasn’t the only time Biden has done that, the far left Webzine Vox chimed in later that day.

That’s for sure. Biden is by no means the only pervert sexual predator among prominent Democrat politicians, but he is the only pervert sexual predator stupid enough to molest his victims at public events.

These clips of “Creepy Uncle Joe” nuzzling, fondling, sniffing and kissing women and children, compiled two years ago by Richard Armande Mills, are sure to gross you out.  His corruption, with his son Hunter for example, may gross out voters even more.

THE DEATH BLOSSOM OF Q

death-blossom”Death blossom.”

Back in 1991, U.S. soldiers in Operation Desert Storm coined that evocative trope to describe how Iraqi soldiers – panicked at the first sound of gunfire – would shoot wildly in all directions.

Thanks to Q, millions of civilians now know what a “death blossom” is.

Q used “death blossom” to describe Democrats – panicked because Special Counsel Robert Mueller found no evidence of Trump “collusion” with Russia -- who fire off wild accusations of obstruction, money laundering, mob connections.

Since he began posting on 4chan and 8chan -- https://qanon.pub/ -- in November 2017, the letter Q has become as popular a symbol of resistance to a corrupt elite as was Zorro’s Z in the Disney television series.  Here’s what he’s saying will happen this week.

THE DEMOCRATS’ IDES OF MARCH

dems-ides-of-march“Beware the Ides of March,” the soothsayer in Shakespeare’s play warned Julius Caesar.

That was good advice. On that date (March 15, 44 BC), Caesar was stabbed to death.

Democrats also should heed the soothsayer’s warning.

*Rep. Adam Schiff scheduled a hearing of the House Intelligence Committee for March 14, with Felix Sater the only witness.

The purpose of this hearing – like last week’s featuring disgraced Trump lawyer Michael Cohen – is to distract attention from real news breaking that day that could embarrass Democrats.

On March 14, the depositions of Christopher Steele and David Kramer in a libel suit will be made public.  And that’s just one of the many knives out for the Dems the middle of this month.

THE CLOWN SHOW CONGRESS

dead-48hrs-agoI thought it was very bad when Republicans lost control of the House of Representatives. Thanks to the clown show put on yesterday (2/27) by Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), I’m rethinking that.

The new chairman of the House Oversight Committee scheduled a hearing for Wednesday, with President Trump’s former personal lawyer the only witness, to give the Lying Swine something to cover instead of the president’s historic meeting with Kim Jong Un in Vietnam.

It was ludicrous to think Michael Cohen – who shortly will begin serving three years in prison for crimes that have nothing to do with Trump – would have some “bombshell” to reveal to the Committee he didn’t tell Special Counsel Robert Mueller or the Southern District of New York.

But this was an opportunity for Democrats to throw brown stuff at the president, hoping some of it would stick.

Things didn’t go according to plan. The Dems’ hangover this morning was the groggy realization that Cohen put the stake through the heart of multiple anti-Trump fantasies.

PREPARE FOR SHRIEKS OF DEMOCRAT DISMAY

how-to-make-them-angryIn what almost certainly will be the last thing he does before submitting his final report to Attorney General William Barr, Special Counsel Robert Mueller filed an additional sentencing recommendation in the Paul Manafort case Saturday (2/23).

Leftists had high hopes for what they might find in it.  Alas for them, there was no mention of Trump, or Russia, or collusion.

Yet hope springs eternal in the libtard breast. Trump/Russia dead-enders just adjusted their predictions, pretended their disappointment never happened, notes liberal journalist Glenn Greenwald.

Now it’s Mueller’s silence that’s damning for Trump, says Franklin Foer of the Atlantic.

Moonbats pin their dwindling hopes on Mueller’s final report. Those hopes took a blow Monday (2/25).

POTUS AND THE HAMMER

trump-tweets-021819 Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s interview on Sixty Minutes aired Sunday (2/17), previewed last Wednesday (2/13), is the strongest evidence yet hammers are now poised to drop on the evildoers.

McCabe confessed to orchestrating a coup to oust a duly elected president. Would he do that unless he knew proof of his sedition is about to be made public?

The only possible defense McCabe can mount is the coup attempt was justified. The purpose of the Sixty Minutes interview was to get his spin out before he’s indicted, and to throw shade on his arch enemy, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

It’s not working, the coup plotters know it, and they know Mueller will not lay a glove on POTUS.  They’re in a panic, they see the hammer coming down above them.

A BEAUTIFUL NIGHTMARE

Ralph “Coonman” Northam wearing same Blackface plaid pants

Isn’t this the most beautiful headline you’ve seen in quite a while?  Especially because it’s from CNN written by it’s hyper-lib editor Chris Cillizza on Wednesday (2/06):  THE COMPLETE AND UTTER COLLAPSE OF VIRGINIA’S DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

What’s going on in Virginia “is a classic example of the truism that evil always destroys itself, because that is the nature of evil,” thinks Unseen1.

If you haven’t been following events there (thus missing out on delicious schadenfreude), here’s a synopsis of the beautiful nightmare unfolding for the Dems:

A BAD NIGHT FOR DEMS

x
President Trump’s  on Tuesday (2/05) was easily the best State of the Union address I’ve ever seen – and I watched all of Ronald Reagan’s.

But, as you can see, it wasn’t a good night for Bernie Sanders, Ms. Occasional Cortex, and all the other Dems including Pelosi who grimaced and refused to stand.

A SOTU is a speechwriter’s nightmare. It consists of a laundry list of the president’s (alleged) accomplishments, followed by wish list of the bills the president wants Congress to pass. It’s hard to weave a coherent, uplifting theme into that mishmash.

And SOTUs are too long. They last, typically, an hour or so. One of the first rules of the thumb I learned as a fledgling speechwriter was nobody is interesting after 20 minutes.

There are exceptions to every rule. President Trump spoke for 82 minutes, the longest SOTU since Bill Clinton spoke for 84 minutes in 2000. Clinton’s SOTU that year was excruciating. But, for me, time flew by Tuesday night.

BANKRUPTING THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA

trump-tweet-012819 Does the “news” depress you? Need something to cheer you up? Read mea culpa, mea maxima culpa, please don’t hurt me any more “correction” from the London Telegraph on January 26:  Melania Trump – An Apology.

We apologize unreservedly to The First Lady and her family for any embarrassment caused by our publication of these allegations.  As a mark of our regret we have agreed to pay Mrs. Trump substantial damages as well as her legal costs.”
Not only is Melania Trump the most beautiful and sophisticated First Lady ever, she has a backbone of tempered steel. Smear her, and you’ll pay a price.

Actually, the entire Fake News Media is paying a price. The most underreported news last week was that more than a thousand “journalists” – chiefly at Politico, Buzzfeed, and Gannett – lost their jobs.

Fake Newsers are being fired or are about to be bankrupted out of business.  Here’s how.

IS MIKE FLYNN THE DOOM OF ROBERT MUELLER?

flynn-doom-of-muellerLt. Gen. Michael Flynn is scheduled to be sentenced next Tuesday (12/18). He pled guilty Dec. 1, 2017 (the day after being formally charged) to one count of lying to the FBI about his telephone conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s sentencing recommendation is here. Flynn’s plea to Judge Emmet Sullivan is here. You should read both carefully.

Flynn’s sentencing has been postponed three times. It may well be yet again.  You can see why with this Fox News headline of early this morning (12/13):  Judge in Flynn case orders Mueller to turn over interview docs after bombshell claim of FBI pressure.

U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan ordered Mueller to turn over the FBI documents by 3pm tomorrow (12/14).  Fox noted Judge Sullivan is putting “Mueller under the microscope,” which is another way of saying it’s Mueller who could be in beaucoup deep kimchee, not Flynn.

There are indications in his sentencing memo that Mueller already knows this.

THE SPYGATE STORM

spygateStunning Spygate revelations will drop before the end of the year, the rapidly accelerating amount of seemingly unrelated stuff being made public now inclines me to believe.

Here’s what I conclude from Jeff Carlson’s masterful exposé in the Epoch Times (11/28): Spygate: The True Story of Collusion. How America’s most powerful agencies were weaponized against President Donald Trump.

And from Dan Bongino’s bestseller:  Spygate, The Attempted Sabotage of Donald Trump  As well as my own sources..

So – this is what I think we’ll learn by year’s end:

BLACK TUESDAY

Yes, voters were stupid enough to give them the House

Yes, voters were stupid enough to give them the House

If we were tired of winning, we’re going to get a respite. Possibly a long one.

Here’s why you shouldn’t pay much attention to my prognostications and speculations:

I thought Republicans would gain 5 to 6 seats in the Senate, gain a governor, net, lose no more than 18, probably not more than 15 seats in the House. I was really really wrong.  November 6 was Black Tuesday.

It was dismaying to lose races I thought we would win (Arizona, Nevada, Montana). Doubly dismaying to win narrowly races we should have won big (Texas a purple state?). Triply dismaying so many of the Dem candidates were such obvious dirtballs (Sinema, Tester, Gillum, Abrams.)

Even more dismaying we should do so poorly when the economy is roaring, peace with North Korea is in the offing.

Yes, the Dems have cheated their way to victory in many close races – but they shouldn’t have been close in the first place.  Have most voters – especially middle class white women in the suburbs – lost all judgment and all moral sense?
