The above article is very interesting because the authors (likely Pelosi aides) HIDE the mob connections STRONGLY by only talking about specifics of the scandals and leaving out MOB associations. Also, the “controversial” part left in seems to be very intentional, and includes both a sort of weird double-reverse humble-brag to both conservatives and liberals, and a lot of confusing disinformation.
This DECLAS DECEMBER [1210] Q’PER TUESDAY open thread is VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA / KAG! / KMAG world (KMAG being a bit of both MAGA and KAG!).
You can say what you want, comment on what other people said, and so on.
Free Speech is practiced here. ENJOY IT. Use it or lose it.
However, we have a new policy. Starting 20191110. Keep it SOMEWHAT civil.
We have a new board – actually a new SITE – called The U Tree – where people can take each other to the woodshed without fear of censorship or moderation. NOT HERE.
This board will remain a REFUGE for those who need civility, either some or all of the time.
Our rules began with the civility of the Old Treehouse, later to become the Wolverinian Empire, and one might say that we have RESTORED THE OLD REPUBLIC – the early high-interaction model of the Treehouse – except of course that Q discussion is not only allowed but encouraged, and speech is considerably freer in other ways. Please feel free to argue and disagree with the board owner, as nicely as possible.
Please also consider the Important Guidelines, outlined here in the January 1st open thread. Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven.
6)IG finds 17 separate problems with FISA court submissions, including FBI's overstatement of Steele's credentials. Also the failure to provide court with exculpatory evidence and issues with Steele's sources and additional info it got about Steele's credibility.
Now there is documented evidence that the FBI withheld exculpatory evidence multiple times to the FISA Court, do you still agree that those individuals should face sanctions? https://t.co/lBE9daABHF
Still troubling that massive anti-Trump probe was started on the very flimsiest of evidence. But by January 2017 *at very latest* FBI knew anti-Trump probe should have been ended. So why did it keep going? And what's more, why did leaders launch Special Counsel months later? https://t.co/NWuuDyH1Zh
Mollie has an amazing bunch of deeply perceptive tweets that Sidney Powell is retweeting. These two gals are just skunking the coup with each one of them.
Massive counterintel investigation against political campaign of opposing party was started solely on tip from foreign gov't, nothing else, IG says. W/in days, 4 campaign officials targeted, picked because they'd been to Russia or talked to Russians. Wow does this look flimsy.
And it just goes on forever. There are THOUSANDS of patriots going over the IG report, finding everything wrong with it.
THAT is the power of WE THE PEOPLE and FREE SPEECH.
One of the things you will notice in the following discussion is that the Soviet Fake News – acting just like Russia’s fake news acted in the 1970s – simply turns everything on its head. Even Horowitz is helping a bit, which is sad, but expected from an Obama appointee. Horowitz held his “Trump-limiting” fire for as long as he could, but at the last possible moment in his ability to protect the plot, he did what he could in the way of DAMAGE CONTROL.
Horowitz didn’t lie. What he did was give what I believe is UNREASONABLE benefit of the doubt to Comey and McCabe in assessing their MOTIVE. Why do I say “unreasonable”? Because it’s quite clear that the BIAS against Trump was POLITICAL IN NATURE, and that bias was ACTED UPON.
BIAS is not a crime. ACTING UPON IT AGAINST THE LAW IS.
Communists have TRAINED YOU otherwise, using the FAKE NEWS MEDIA.
The political bias against Trump may not have been PARTY politics, and it might not have been standard Conservative-versus-Liberal politics, but it was POLITICS nonetheless. It was all about the PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
If you are an investigator, and you can’t see the bias in FISAgate, you’re either a PISS-POOR investigator, or you are COVERING UP for the bias of the Deep State.
It’s like saying that Ted Bundy wasn’t motivated by sexual sadism because of some technicality of when *exactly* he murdered his victims, or because he didn’t use standard whips of particular dimensions and wear appropriate lady-porn Fifty Shades of Gray sexy suits during the acts.
It’s CRAP.
WHO are you kidding, Horowitz? If this wasn’t about politics, then WHAT WAS THE MOTIVE?
I’ll tell you. It was GLOBALIST versus NATIONALIST politics. The “special hatred” for Donald Trump is that he is completely antithetical to the subtextual political worldview of globalism.
Horowitz is UNREASONABLE in not seeing it and calling it out, even though – very ironically – it MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IN THE CRIMES.
The latter is an important point. The law is the law. Bias means nothing, if we TRULY do not act on it, by OBEYING THE LAW – which is not supposed to be a mind-reader on ACTS. At the end of Obama’s tenure, I thought he was a horrid communist spy and insert, but he was also POTUS. His LIFE and his OFFICE deserved our protection with every last fiber of our being as patriotic Americans. PERIOD.
But THAT doesn’t matter. Love him or hate him, HOW WE ACT is all that matters to the LAW.
Because we are NOT in CHINA.
https://youtu.be/vspukvqxTSg
We ACT either properly or improperly IN SPITE OF ANY BIAS. This was taught when I was a CHILD. Sadly, the DEMOCRAT SCHOOLS no longer teach this.
TRUMP did not get the RESPECT that he deserved from the system. PERIOD.
I’m not the only person who sees how ridiculous this is.
But there are actually FACTUAL REASONS – not subject to debate – that tell us HOROWITZ was OFF THE MARK on this report.
If John Durham has met with Patrick Byrne, and listened to his timeline… well, the July 31st, 2016, Horowitz predicate date is way off the mark. Byrne said he was tasked by the FBI to run "political espionage" starting in 2015. pic.twitter.com/UXumhWSc2P
ANYWAY – my take on the IG Report, told in TWEETS, follows.
First of all, you really need to see how HARD the FAKE NEWS MEDIA is pulling to COVER UP.
Remember – this is COMMUNIST DEMORALIZATION.
BREAKING: FBI Dir. Chris Wray "The inspector general did not find political bias or improper motivations impacting the opening" of Russia probe, "or the decision to use certain investigative tools."@PierreTABC: "Included FISA?"
REMEMBER – Wray is just CITING FACTS here – facts about the report – but the FAKE NEWS is CHOOSING to highlight ONLY those facts.
This is EXACTLY like the SOVIET UNION, for those of us who don’t remember it.
DON’T LOOK AWAY.
I strongly suggest that you CUT YOUR CABLE if you have not done so already. You can see plenty of “don’t look away” material on the internet without PAYING to produce it.
Look at the BOLSHEVIK FILTH one last time before you CUT THE CABLE.
Check out THIS “Blue Checkist”…. a NEW YORK TIMES Shiece of Pit.
These anti-American pieces of garbage are not our friends. They hate our country – they hate us – and they HATE THE TRUTH.
One more.
The DOJ IG's report rebuts allegations of illegal spying and that political bias played a role in the probe begun ahead of the 2016 election, but finds serious faults in other areas, according to a copy of the document obtained by WaPo. https://t.co/p274MTloRe
Overall, this was pretty shocking evidence of LIES and DECEIT by the FBI and DOJ, with evidence of CIA treachery leaking in, yet compared to what the “Pizzagate” crowd wanted to happen – well, not so much of a big bust. Was John “Skippy” Podesta even NAMED in this thing? The treacherous James 8. Corney certainly was.
Gonna be blunt here, amigos. The fact that the IG report doesn't have photos of Cankles and Beelzebubba dancing around bound children in red shoes, with Bubba eating pizza and hot dogs off of her medical devices, does not concern me.
Yeah, Cankles ain’t in jail YET, but what we are seeing now is a lot of SPACE between (A) what we KNOW and which is now PROVEN BY LAW, and (B) what James Comey and his GRIFTER CLUB have been selling us via the FAKE NEWS MEDIA.
Comey was reading the same Obama tea-leaves as McCabe who knew Obama wanted "everything". The Beria-Stalin psychology of race and media-driven guilt was used with dramatic effect not only on us hix out in the stix, but even as a silent enforcer among the elite grifter class.
See how different THAT is from what the “Please Let Our Friends Off” FAKE NEWS MEDIA tried to tell us? Trump is right. The FAKE NEWS is not our friend.
So let’s take a look at what DID come out, and what is STILL coming out.
The TREACHERY of the Comey FBI – PROVEN right here.
What IG report page 341 tells you: the FBI used a defensive briefing with the Trump campaign as a tool for an investigation into its members. Unbelievable.
How bad was it? Even HOROWITZ admitted it was bad – before that final RUG SWEEP.
Adam Schiff 2/24/2018: "the FBI acted appropriately"
IG report today: "We are deeply concerned that so many basic and fundamental errors were made by" the FBI. "We believe this circumstance reflects a failure…by the managers and supervisors…including FBI senior officials"
Brad Parscale put things into perspective very nicely. The criminal Soviet Democrats JUST DON’T CARE. Because they’re CRIMINALS.
If the Democrat controlled House does not immediately investigate the FBI abuse found in the IG report it is clear evidence the Deep State has complete control of the Democrat party.
This has been an attempt to silence Trump and his supporters since the beginning!
Don’t worry – a CRIMINAL SOVIET DEMOCRAT HOUSE will never investigate CRIMINAL SOVIET DEMOCRATS. I mean – are you kidding?
This is why NIXON was offed so easily. He simply could not comprehend that the Soviets and Chinese had GOTTEN HIM. On American soil. Using TREASONOUS criminal Soviet Democrats.
There is NO WAY that an investigation going the other way – against the CIA that SET UP NIXON – would ever have been allowed. There is no way that EVIDENCE would ever be admitted.
They were FAKE NEWS then. They are FAKE NEWS now. And the CRIMINAL DEMOCRATS were with them every inch of the way.
Cut the cable. Take away their MONEY. That money you pay them every month – TAKE IT AWAY.
But even more importantly, THIS. Take away YOUR BRAIN CYCLES. Take away THEIR subliminal PROPAGANDA. Fake news works CONSTANTLY on your BRAIN to create a FALSE STATE OF REALITY which I call FAKE NORMAL.
CUT IT OUT. Put on the INTERNAL GLASSES that BLOCK FAKE NEWS to non-threatening levels.
It is going to be a FIGHT and we have to be like Trump and KEEP FIGHTING.
Buckle up, lads and lassies. THIS is the REALITY right here.
Guys–Comey, Brennan etc. HAVE to say "See, toldja, nothing to see" about the IG report.
You really expected these shits to say "I confess!"
THAT's what I mean when I keep saying some here are expecting one report to Change Everything.
I mean, seriously. These DIRTBAGS are gonna be not just proclaiming their innocence, but actually shilling for their own “MUMIA FAN CLUBS” while in PRISON. Get used to it.
Manage your expectations, and you will see that President Trump is RIGHT ON TARGET.
— Team Trump (Text TRUMP to 88022) (@TeamTrump) December 9, 2019
So is it gonna be FIXED SOON? Sure looks that way.
It is worth noting while the #IGReport concludes that political bias did not influence the launch of the Trump-Russia investigation, US Atty John Durham, whose criminal investigation into the matter is more comprehensive, vehemently disagrees.https://t.co/bRIsHmGuq4
AND notice that all the #Resist SCUM is already MOUTHING OFF about Barr doing the right things.
Check out this WaPo Blue Checkist Bolshevik scum-bucket….
I agree with this guy: “I’ve never seen such an internal DOJ effort to challenge and undermine the IG's findings,” Harry Litman, a former U.S. attorney, told me Monday. “It is not what the Department of Justice does.” https://t.co/GvlGHqXEPR
Director Wray must make a public statement in support of the Bureau against Barr’s clear provocations and lies about the IG’s report and the way he attempts to impugn the professional and appropriate role the @FBI played in the investigation of the Trump campaign.
Yeah, take a hike, COMMIE. This guy is a real piece of TDS work.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jiMxRKq5No
But look what’s coming….
BREAKING: Sen. Grassley of Judiciary said tonight that former FBI Director Comey is going to be in for "a rude awakening when (federal prosecutor) Durham gets done" with his own, more comprehensive — not to mention criminal –investigation of #Spygate
And things already falling apart for “Curtains” Comey and his well-constructed lies.
After college, for starters, the 6-foot-7 Comey for years claimed that he played NCAA college basketball. He did not. He is a congenital liar. And he was the head of our federal secret police. Unnerving to say the least. https://t.co/YiNEyBmmIi

This point may be very critical, if the “powers that be” have manipulated the situation so that CIA assets and agents (or even FBI, in a sneaky lie) cannot be revealed, thus continuing to protect THE SWAMP.
If this is the case, given that there now appears to be incontrovertible proof that CIA is being used AGAINST AMERICAN CITIZENS POLITICALLY, then we need to demand CLOSURE OF CIA.
This is part of my point that….
WE DO NOT HAVE TO ACCEPT THE IG REPORT AS THE FINAL WORD.
If the IG report is not to our liking, then we have to demand ACTION BY TRUMP AND CONGRESS. That action can included CLOSURE of criminal, derelict, and dangerous agencies. It could even include their MEDIA OUTLETS (cough) and DELIVERY COMPANIES (cough). Their remaining legitimate functions can be transferred to “clean” agencies, with all transferred personnel on probationary status, and passing rigorous review of past involvements.
I started off on this whole business of Trump firing the Navy Secretary with almost a feeling of “WHO CARES?” – while the media meltdown only told me that the FAKE NEWS was even faker than before.
Indeed, I was starting to realize that the Fake News Media is pretty much toast. I REALLY don’t care what they think any more. They’re irrelevant.
Now – along the way, yesterday or the night before, somebody mentioned talk about these Navy brass possibly hating Trump – which I thought was weird, but hey – after 8 years of OBAMA – who knows – right?
And then THAT reminded me of some really wild rumor I had heard from some REALLY unreliable source, about a COUP against Trump. If I remember correctly, it was supposedly coming out of the Navy in southern California.
I had heard this MONTHS ago, and though to myself “This is absolute bullshit. It’s NUTS!”
But here we are – massive insubordination and LYING!
Well, TONIGHT I saw THIS on Gab:
WHOA-OH!!!
So I go looking at the link.
And THAT led me to a VERY interesting blog post – not quite as DIRE as this Gab post here, but still a bit – well – just read it. You can go to these links, or read the following excerpt.
The biggest and most important swamp draining operation was not investigating Democratic Party corruption, but rescuing warriors under attack by the most holy priesthood of Obama appointees in the military, who were seeking to break up the bands of brothers that so frightened them. The cucks in top military brass were and are after Eddie Gallagher because he was a right wing Christian. The prosecution kept changing its mind about what war crimes he had committed. When one war crime did not work, they would come up with another. When war crimes did not work, their reaction was the same as when Mueller found that the Russians were probably the only foreign power that did not interfere in the 2016 US election. They wanted to get him on something, anything, everything. The pursuit of Gallagher was priests getting antsi because they smelled a warrior priest, a paladin, of an enemy religion. If one thing did not work, they would try another thing. I don’t care whether Gallagher was guilty of war crimes, and as the case dragged on, it became increasingly obvious that the prosecution cared even less than I do.
Jim’s Blog, Draining The Swamp
In case you’re wondering WHAT, exactly, a “color revolution” is, here you go:
Foreign Affairs, of course, has a different view of this, getting picky about colors vs. flowers. (No toxic link provided.)
Given that the CIA globos were behind the Jasmine Revolution in Tunisia, perhaps they’re partial to flowers. Whatevs. Between the ex-Soviet Russian view and the proto-Soviet American Soros view, I’m just going to call all of these stirred-up and frequently inauthentic revolutions “color revolutions” and be done with it.
SO….
Back to the blog post theory.
I don’t know if this is true, but I will say this. The egregious behavior of the military brass in going after this guy Gallagher using dirty tricks more like the CIA was just WEIRD. They were OBSESSED with the guy.
NOW – quite honestly – I’m not actually CONCERNED about the OUTCOME of some crazy attempt by Democrats to stage a “color revolution” here. This can’t succeed. It’s guaranteed to be face-palm. Nevertheless – well, people could get hurt. And DEMS don’t CARE.
But are they crazy enough to try something really STUPID? Liddle’ Schiffty Schiff seems a bit desperate.
What do you all think? Are the Dems crazy enough to try something more than FAKE IMPEACHMENT?

And CORRUPT
Political establishment

Candidate Donald J. Trump
Also remember Wheatie’s Rules:
No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
Wolf here, with words of STEADFASTNESS, THANKFULNESS, and JOY IN THE LORD.
“I far prefer to have strong and God-fearing leadership in the roughest of times, than to have weak, feckless and corrupt leadership in the easiest of times.”
“The best way to insure our future under the steadfast leadership of President Trump, is simply to THANK GOD RIGHT NOW for these PAST THREE YEARS with which we have been blessed.”
“If you’re worried that Trump causes too much controversy with the insane Democrat media, let me horrify you with the thought of the world where he doesn’t.”
“Too much controversy would be a sign of too much winning. I am relying on the expert on winning – President Trump – to let us know when either of these occurs.”
“It’s a simple question. Do you trust God? Good! Then HANG ON!”
There is a metaphor I have consistently used to explain both Candidate Trump and President Trump – the idea of Trump gravity. I found that it was possible to explain much of the movement of voters during the primaries by likening Trump to the planet Jupiter, albeit with both a strange gravity and an extremely dynamic trajectory.
wolfmoon1776, August 18, 2017
Well, I don’t really have to do any holding together, now that I figured out what Trump is up to. He is shaking things out, but counting on Trump gravity to pull things back together as he moves along. He is moving “forward” at speeds Obama could not even dream of.
You and I will be anti-Trump trolls one day and MAGA heroes the next. Get used to it. Trump speed is the new normal. Some will call it flip-flopping, but that’s not what it is. Trump is dodging and weaving through reality faster than the reality can react to disrupt his plans.
I was explaining this to my wife. This is a roller-coaster now. Trump is no longer waiting for people to keep up. He is taking his bewildering art-of-the-deal campaign schtick into geopolitics, and for a lot of people who can’t keep up or hold on, it will be a rough ride.
Trump is no longer playing only with evil and cunning players who are still predictable, easily beatable dopes, like Hillary. He is playing against killers, with his own team of killers, and all the while he has scheming creeps like Hillary, BGI, SPLC, and the neocons gunning for him. Snake Ryan ready to bite when nobody is looking. “Warhead” McCain screaming for Russian blood. Psycho Kim and Samoa Obama plotting some kind of intrigue to take him down. And THOSE are the lightweights.
This is the majors now. Trump has to outwit world-class adversaries and “frenemies” by defining the deals that they will agree to. One minute they will think Trump is their friend – the next minute, a cunning, bitter foe. And he has to do this with evil cheerleaders like Warhead, Linderace, Dipsy Dowd, Maggie Haterman, and Fake Yapper trashing him or praising him alternately, no matter which way he goes. They can’t keep up, either.
Neither can many around him. I think that half of the problem with advisers crashing into each other is they don’t realize what Trump is doing.
And people will trash you, and they will trash me. Get used to it. I’ve already caught plenty of people mocking me. Well, just wait a week in Trump time. Look stupid and conned by Trump one minute, and you look like a sage three days later.
Trump will not find perfect solutions. He will find OPTIMAL solutions. We cannot ask for more. Trump has stood by and watched Perfect murder Good for 8 years – maybe longer. He’s not gonna do it. He’s going to deliver the best outcome possible, and he’s not waiting for us to feel relaxed about it.
Best presidency ever! Just hang on. More winning is coming, but a lot of people are going to scream that it’s all over at EVERY turn.
The best way through this is to define viewpoints, not people, because people will shift as they change position and velocity in Trump gravity. Bash the neocon, warmonger, and dopey globalist positions – not the people who are going to hold them one moment and come loose from them later. Trump is Jupiter moving through the asteroid belt. He is going to pull people into his orbit. A few will get slung off into space, but most will come along for the ride of their lives.
I am ON the Trump Train for good, even if I scream that I want off and can’t take it. In the end, I only want to scream “TOO MUCH WINNING!!!” 😀

I would like to start off by thanking our awesome DAUGHN for all of the coverage of the impeachment saga this week, and many other amazing posts. She is plum tuckered out, I have no doubt, so I’m doing this one for her!
This is our BEST WEEK EVER, despite all the hubbub and despite significant posting moving over to the U Tree. I credit DAUGHN and DEP PAT with drawing in the crowd, not to mention of course FLEP’S ROUNDUPS, which bring in huge numbers of newsreaders (I could call them lurkers, but that’s not giving credit where credit is due. FLEP IS THE NEWS NOW.
Bravo also to bakocarl taking over the Sunday slot and doing an amazing job on that first post! And I have to say somewhat selfishly that I am enjoying chatting with T3 on the boards now, so it’s a win-win IMO. We are gonna do some amazing things out in the trenches.
Thanks also to Wheatie for those “Wheatie Trees” that I quite frankly need to get by. After a rough week, there is nothing better.
Let me not forget Trumpismine, who is now doing wonderful “pre-Daughn” posts that have made my life SO MUCH EASIER – yeah – talk about thankful! I AM!!!
And thanks to all of YOU for being here. Your support, patience, kindness, CIVILITY, and amazing news contributions are appreciated. You folks BRING THE NEWS, and – truly – WE ARE THE NEWS NOW.
Today is also a special day. Exactly 56 years ago today, a great President – JFK – was taken from us in a cowardly crime.
The victim was then lauded by his own killers, while the fake news media likewise pretended to honor him. The fake news media obfuscated the crime, by pooh-poohing all fruitful theories of the assassination, hiding responsibility and aiding the culprits. Any mention of the Soviets or communists was met with scare tactics, which easily played into previous “duck and cover” nuclear war exercises and prior media fear-mongering on behalf of the Soviets and the American communist infiltration. Any mention of the CIA or domestic government operations was met with derision and disbelief. The fake news media made SURE that the crime was never solved.
It’s rather amazing what 56 years will do.
FUTURE PROVES PAST.
I have found the JFK assassination a key milestone in uncovering the history of the fake news, and the extent of communist infiltration throughout the 20th century.
KARMA.

Now – let me put in a nice word for two people who are ACTUALLY doing something about “gun violence”, which I prefer to call “cultural Marxist violence”, or “religious suppression violence”, but let’s not quibble. For the purposes of common terms, I’ll temporarily assent to using THEIR TERM, “gun violence”, but I’ll put JEFFERSON QUOTES around it.
(You have to go back and watch the Barr video HERE to get that joke.)
First, let’s look at Attorney General William Barr. Many of us who DEFEND ON GUNS have been screaming for years that NICS needed to be fixed – that OBAMA and HOLDER had intentionally let it go to hell so that they could get propaganda killings that they needed.
Even when we got the chance to FIX IT when Democrats were out of the White House, far too many of us just breathed a sigh of relief and didn’t push to “git ‘er done”.
Well, Bill Barr has been BUSY FIXING THIS STUFF. Take a read HERE:
Thanks need to also go to both CHRIS WRAY (yeah, that guy with the goofy picture over at CTH) and some helpless VSG baby named PRESIDENT TRUMP.
Sorry, I’m just being snarky.
THANK YOU, ATTORNEY GENERAL BARR, DIRECTOR WRAY, AND PRESIDENT TRUMP.
There. There’s no missing THAT one.
So who’s next on the “thank you” list? I’d say it’s the guy who was the ACTUAL target of THIS operation:
Yup. Governor MIKE DEWINE of OHIO. Under intense pressure, he has stood up for DUE PROCESS to the point that state gun rights advocates have ENDORSED his approach to “doing something” about gun violence while NOT “doing something” about that pesky Constitution which seems to bother our STALINIST PROGS so much.
“Nothing we are doing places new restrictions on a law-abiding citizen from owning a gun,” said Lt. Governor Husted. “These proposals are focused on keeping guns out of the hands of people who are prevented from owning a gun by enhancing law enforcement’s ability to enforce current law.”
It’s true that this bill contains what some are calling a “red flag” component, but there was so much trepidation about infringing due process, that the final result is almost better described as an expediting of existing court order processes, to meet the “red flag schedule”. I personally don’t find the “red flag” component a showstopper, but as always, I remain suspicious, and await more comments from all sides.
HERE is a section describing the due process guarantees met by the law:
I love that part about “right to subpoena witnesses”. People have no idea how much power that puts back into the hands of law-abiding gun owners and truth-tellers. NO idea. It’s literally nuclear. That MUST stay in the law, at FULL STRENGTH, or it’s no good.
YOU DECIDE – I’ll include the complete information here.
First – the article:
Yeah, look at that PROG MAYOR saying it’s a “step in the right direction”. PPPFFFFTTTTT!

SO – my thinking is as follows.
OK, Deep State. You made your move. We even went along with it all.
You even threw your little “impeachment party”, and we went along with that sham, too.

Now it’s our turn. WE know how to do non-violence. Will YOU go to jail peacefully?
As he did at the University of Norte Dame several weeks ago, Attorney General William Barr delivered yet another historic speech yesterday at the 19th Annual Barbara K. Olsen Memorial Lecture at the Federalist Society’s 2019 National Lawyers Convention. In it, he makes clear a number of critical truths regarding our Republic, the Presidency, our nation’s domestic enemy the political left, and the intentional damage the left is doing to our Republic. Have a taste….
“Immediately after President Trump won election, opponents inaugurated what they called “The Resistance,” and they rallied around an explicit strategy of using every tool and maneuver available to sabotage the functioning of his Administration. Now, “resistance” is the language used to describe insurgency against rule imposed by an occupying military power. It obviously connotes that the government is not legitimate. This is a very dangerous – indeed incendiary – notion to import into the politics of a democratic republic. What it means is that, instead of viewing themselves as the “loyal opposition,” as opposing parties have done in the past, they essentially see themselves as engaged in a war to cripple, by any means necessary, a duly elected government.
The fact of the matter is that, in waging a scorched earth, no-holds-barred war of “Resistance” against this Administration, it is the Left that is engaged in the systematic shredding of norms and the undermining of the rule of law.“
While it is a lengthy speech, it’s importance cannot be overstated. I urge everyone to listen and/or read the speech.

scott467 November 3, 2019 at 02:37 Q’s last post today included a link to Wyatt’s twitter post and concluded with RIG FOR RED:
………………………………………. 3574 New: Title TBD Q !!mG7VJxZNCI 2 Nov 2019 – 7:25:13 PM https://twitter.com/3Days3Nights/status/1190742277771202560📁 https://twitter.com/SayWhenLA/status/1190757918712434689📁 RIG FOR RED ………………………………………..
I didn’t know what ‘Rig for Red’ meant exactly, but I found this:
The term “Rig for Red” is actually an older term, since most submarines today use broadband Blue lighting for night operations. Many spaces on older boats still have Red lighting, though.
“Rig for Red” is normally a command used in the Control Room. It is normally used when the boat is going to be surfacing or coming to Periscope Depth at night. The purpose is to give the lookouts and the officer designated to head to the bridge upon surfacing a chance for their eyes to adjust to darkness, or the OOD the same thing before looking through the Periscope. However, with the change to Blue, often times Red glasses are also used to provide the same effect and then Control is changed when the command is given to surface or come to PD.
During Battle Stations and at night, many spaces are rigged for red in order to simulate night conditions. While submerged underwater during normal operations, the only real reference for the time of day is the meal being served, since most boats operate on an 18 hour rotation and not a 24 hour rotation (6 hours on watch, 12 off). The red/dark conditions are more so people can sleep rather than to simulate night. Underway, the sleeping areas are always dark unless it’s a cleanup day, a drill is going on, or Battle Stations has been sounded.
Though the sleeping areas are still configured for Red lighting, tactical spaces and the Control Room were changed to broadband Blue lighting in the 80’s when it was determined that the color was easier on the eyes under normal working conditions over long periods. I always hated it – a lot harder to catch an undetected nap in the corner than it was when Red was used. ……………………..
The above tweet is where the thread appears to end in the threadreaderapp version, but the thread is actually broken there. If you click on the last tweet in Twitter, you get another dozen posts.
I think it’s very useful to see how much smarter than all these pundits our VSG actually is. Check this sad-sack, face-palm, “sometimes-Trump” tweet out. Some people just never really get it.
Even if it’s true, absolutely none of it changes the underlying facts. When an allied leader asked for desperately needed military aid, the president asked him to investigate a crazy conspiracy theory and a political rival. That happened. https://t.co/D2VX0E26hA
When David French is NOT making a fool of himself about whatever it is that he doesn’t get about what our VSG is doing – meaning roughly 90% of the time – he’s very useful to read. But the fact is, there is a reason I literally THANK GOD for President Trump – and it’s the remaining 10% of the time.
FEW PEOPLE can deal with that stuff.
OUR VSG CAN.
A toast – to our wonderful POTUS, and the Republicans who have the SENSE to trust him.
I hope you will all join me!
A toast to our VSG and his merry band of nation-saving patriots!
It’s the end of the month. I put my money where my mouth is. The DEMS and their RINO SQUISHES need to know where we stand.
