The ‘Pathetic’ Genesis of a Fake News Story
Posted By: earlybird, 3/28/2021 4:26:57 PM
In a headline clearly designed to prompt outrage, CNN recently claimed that “Sidney Powell argues in new court filing that no reasonable people would believe her election fraud claims.” Similarly, CBS News asserted that “Sidney Powell tells court ‘no reasonable person’ would take her voter fraud claims as fact.”(Snip) Clearly responding to that implication, Representative Peter Meijer of Michigan, one of the Republicans who voted to impeach Trump in January, tweeted that Powell’s argument was “pathetic.” (Snip) What is pathetic here, however, is that CNN, CBS, and Representative Meijer are the deceivers. Powell has not, in any way, retreated from her claims.

As the federal response to Chinese influence at American universities falters, Tennessee is determined to pick up the slack by becoming the first state to ban the Chinese government-funded Confucius Institute from public universities.
After President Joe Biden scrapped a Trump-era proposal that would have required universities to disclose their foreign monetary ties, Governor Bill Lee realized that he needed to act quickly to protect the state's universities from Chinese influence. The Tennessee Republican introduced a bill in the state legislature that would require the public universities to sever ties with the Confucius Institute.

In AD 65, unrest spread throughout the Roman Empire, in response to the increasingly despotic rule of Nero. It started with the Pisonian conspiracy, which was an attempt to restore the Republic. Nero’s suppression of it reduced his support in the Senate, which led to further instability. (Snip)The relevance to this age is that what followed was a long period in which the real power in the Roman Empire had no official role.(Snip) The American Empire appears to have entered a similar period, in which it is not entirely clear who is in charge of the state. This was made clear last week when Joe Biden held his first official

Two Republican lawmakers sent a letter to the head of Secret Service on Thursday demanding records of the agency’s involvement in the case of Hunter Biden’s missing firearm in late 2018, a story Politico reported last week.
“In light of the recent press report, please provide all records relating to your agency’s involvement in the alleged October 2018 incident with respect to Hunter Biden’s firearm no later than April 8, 2021,” wrote GOP Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin on March 25.

Biden's border cruelty

The professional bleeding hearts publicly speak against a border crisis. They moan about the fate of women and children. But the bleeding hearts planned and executed this crisis. They invited the cruelty by lying about President Emeritus Donald Trump.
The bleeding hearts embraced the human trafficking of women and children, despite the abuse they face from the people who transport them to the border. Illegal aliens are treated as chattel.
We have known about this for over a decade, and yet liberals and the Washington Establishment support the trafficking of human beings.
The former president is obsessed with defeating him next year. He’s getting mauled by his own state party. Last week alone, a Republican congressman announced he’d challenge in the primary and the state legislature voted to strip his office of some official powers.
By most accounts, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger doesn’t have a prayer of being reelected.
“He’s toast,” said Jay Williams, a Georgia-based Republican strategist. “I don’t know that there’s a single elected official who would put their neck out for Brad Raffensperger right now.”
A Border Patrol section chief reported that in recent days, more than 861 criminals have been encountered at the border, including 92 sex offenders and 63 gang members.
“Within the copious amounts of groups being encountered in” the Rio Grande Valley sector in Texas, “a Salvadoran man with a prior conviction for murder was discovered” along with 862 criminal aliens, Chief Patrol Agent Brian Hastings wrote on Twitter Saturday.
Hastings wrote that recently, agents encountered five large groups of illegal immigrant families, unaccompanied minors, and some adults—totalling 539.Embedded in the groups were about 93 unaccompanied children, Hastings said, adding that so far in 2021, more than 18,000 such children have been encountered
Republicans in the Senate and the House must stop entertaining ideas for immigration reform for the time being. No discussion of these matters will be beneficial to the nation until the ongoing illegal immigration problem is addressed in a serious manner.
We need border security reform before we need immigration reform.
(Snip) the GOP needs to grow a pair and refuse to engage with Democrats on matters concerning immigration until they can reach an agreement that results in heightened border security and other measures to decrease the number of illegal aliens crossing the U.S. border. In fact, anyone who is represented in the Senate or House by Republican lawmakers must urge them

The battle over legislation in South Dakota to prevent biological men from competing against biological women in school sports will come to a head on “Veto Day,” which takes place on Monday — also the last day of the state’s legislation session.
And now House Speaker Spencer Gosch, a Republican, announced he would recommend lawmakers reject Gov. Kristi Noem’s controversial stance to not veto House Bill 1217 but to ask for revisions to it, including removing the language to eliminate the ban in collegiate sports and removing the requirement for birth certificate sex to be proven annually.
In a headline clearly designed to prompt outrage, CNN recently claimed that “Sidney Powell argues in new court filing that no reasonable people would believe her election fraud claims.” Similarly, CBS News asserted that “Sidney Powell tells court ‘no reasonable person’ would take her voter fraud claims as fact.”(Snip)
Clearly responding to that implication, Representative Peter Meijer of Michigan, one of the Republicans who voted to impeach Trump in January, tweeted that Powell’s argument was “pathetic.” (Snip)
What is pathetic here, however, is that CNN, CBS, and Representative Meijer are the deceivers.
Powell has not, in any way, retreated from her claims.
South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem claims she’s a victim of “conservative cancel culture.” After vetoing a popular bill to defend women’s sports from the transgender lobby, Noem insists she did no such thing. She claims she only rejected the bill because legendary (but unnamed) conservative legal scholars told her she would lose a fight with the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
"(Snip) Apparently, uninformed cancel culture is fine when the right is eating their own,”Noem spokesman Ian Fury said in a press statement.(Snip).
Apparently, if the NCAA threatens a lawsuit, you get a pass to betray your constituents.
Open The New York Times’ politics page Thursday morning and the top headline reads, “Democrats Begin Push For Biggest Expansion In Voting Since 1960s.” It’s a story about the most important election power-grab in modern legislative history, with a slim, partisan majority of senators seeking to wrest control of elections away from state governments to ensure Democrat control for decades to come.
For starters, H.R. 1 will ban voter ID requirements, mandate early voting windows, allow outside activist groups to deliver votes for counting, do away with notarized absentee ballots, force states to accept absentees for 10 days after an election is over, narrow the Federal Election Commission by one member

Do you believe the media needs a napkin? Meghan McCain does — she thinks they’ve been slobbering all over Joe Biden.
On Friday, “The View” co-host slammed legacy media for their kid-glove care of the current Commander-in-Chief.Referencing Joe’s recent falls down the steps of Air Force One — and reported firearm funny business concerning Hunter Biden — Meghan insisted there’d be a whole different sort of framing from the press, if the stories instead involved Donald John Trump.(Tweet)Her comments followed Joe’s Thursday press briefing, about which critics have claimed he wasn’t in Dynamo Mode:(Tweet)

After months of speculation, today The Washington Post confirmed that the Biden regime is developing a “vaccine passport” that Americans may need to present to prove they have received their COVID-19 vaccine before they will be allowed to engage in commerce in a “return to normalcy” that looks nothing like the past.(Snip)The left wing newspaper also believes that the vaccines can be used to bully skeptical Americans into taking the controversial vaccines.(Snip)However, the Biden regime apparently wants this pressure to come entirely in the form of corporate interests requiring vaccines, and does not want to use the weight of the federal government to require the vaccine passports.
CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky became emotional at a White House coronavirus press briefing on Monday—her voice breaking as she warned that the US is facing “impending doom” as COVID-19 cases rise again.
“I’m gonna lose the script and I’m going to reflect on the recurring feeling I have of impending doom,” Walensky told reporters at the briefing.
“We have so much to look forward to, so much promise and potential of where we are, and so much reason for hope. But right now I’m scared.”
“I know what it’s like as a physician to stand in that patient room, gowned, gloved,
President Biden announced a plan on Monday to spur development of large offshore wind farms to generate electricity for up to 10 million homes and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the plan envisions large windmills along every coast of the continental U.S. She said it will eventually produce “tens of thousands of good-paying union jobs.” “The president recognizes that a thriving offshore wind industry will drive new jobs and economic opportunity up and down the Atlantic Coast, in the Gulf of Mexico and in Pacific waters,” she said. Ms. Psaki also said the initiative will eliminate 78 million
Joe Biden on Monday said he “shares the sentiment” of CDC Director Rochelle Walensky who warned of “impending doom” with the Covid case trajectory. “We have so much to look forward to, so much promise and potential…and so much reason for hope, but right now I’m scared,” Walensky said of a virus with a 99.98% survival rate. The US is currently recording a weekly average of approximately 63,000 Covid cases per day, a slight uptick from last week.Biden said he shares the sentiment with Walensky.
This is the moment a Trump supporter pulled a gun on Antifa protesters after his truck was vandalized during a caravan past the capitol building in Salem.Video captured demonstrators spraying paint across the windscreen of the truck, and smashing the tail lights, before the driver steps out with a gun and points it directly at anti-fascist protesters.The driver, who was wearing an American flag sweater, was almost immediately apprehended by police who ordered him to drop to the ground and let go of his weapon.The tense moment was one of many clashes between left-wing, anti-fascist demonstrators
The Biden administration and private firms are reportedly developing a ‘vaccine passport’ that will allow Americans to return to pre-pandemic activities like travel and shopping by showing proof they’ve been inoculated against COVID-19. The ‘vaccine passport’ is considered key to meeting the administration’s goal of emerging from the lockdown and returning to a semblance of normalcy this summer. It will in all likelihood be available for free through smartphones. Vaccinated Americans will be able to flash a scannable code while those who do not have phones could print out a code on a piece of paper, according to The Washington Post.
President Biden called on governors and local leaders to reinstate coronavirus-related mask mandates during a White House briefing Monday, before announcing several other vaccine-related directives.
"I’m reiterating my call for every governor, mayor and local leader to maintain and reinstate the mask mandate," Biden said. "Please, this is not politics, reinstate the mandate if you let it down."
The call follows actions taken by several states to lift mask requirements earlier this month and ease business restrictions, such as Texas and Mississippi, which drew sharp criticism amid early-stage vaccine rollouts and the spread of highly transmissible coronavirus variants.
The Supreme Court on Monday denied a bid by conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch to uphold a court ruling requiring Hillary Clinton to testify under oath about her private email system. The Supreme Court’s denial was unsigned and issued without comment. In January Judicial Watch filed a petition for writ of certiorari (“cert petition”) with the U.S. Supreme Court asking it to uphold a court ruling requiring Hillary Clinton to testify under oath about her private email system. Hillary Clinton used a private email system to conduct official government business when she was the head of the Department of State.
No Storm, No Reckoning, No Nothing

For years we have been hearing about a coming storm. It was to be biblical and would bring pain to members of the deep state ruling class who, after exposure, would not be able to walk down the streets.
The storm was to begin with spygate (snip) Then there were crimes against humanity: child abuse, trafficking, and the like, all to be exposed via the Anthony Weiner laptop or the Jeffrey Epstein cabal (snip) In July of 2020, John Solomon reported, “DOJ activity indicates John Durham preparing indictments.” (snip) The longer this goes on, damaging and socializing the country, the harder it will be to stop or reverse.
George Floyd popped “what are thought to be two Percocet pills” before his fatal encounter with police, the lawyer for ex-Minneapolis cop Derek Chauvin said at his murder trial Monday. Defense lawyer Eric Nelson said during opening arguments that Floyd’s pals told police that they had trouble waking him up after he took the drugs on May 25, 2020, the day he died while in police custody. “Mr. Floyd’s friends will explain that Mr. Floyd fell asleep in the car and that they couldn’t wake him up to get going,” Nelson told the jury. “They thought police might be coming.”
The NYPD’s Hate Crimes Unit is investigating a video showing a man beating an Asian man relentlessly aboard a subway car before choking him until he appears to be unconscious.
Originally posted on Twitter by user @AsianDawn4 early Monday, the tweet of the video purports the violent incident took place aboard a Manhattan-bound J train at the Kosciuszko Street station in Bushwick. Police have not confirmed these details.
The nearly minute-long video appears to begin with a scuffle between the two men already in progress.

I recently wrote a column wherein I accused the American Left and its wholly owned subsidiary, the Democrat party, of using Fascist or Nazi tactics in their determination to permanently transform the nation into a one-party hybrid socialist state by exploiting nonexistent “systemic racism” and baseless fears of “white supremacy.” This characterization did not set well with the gullible and self-righteous Democrat voters I know (snip) any thoughtful and unemotional examination of the tactics the Nazi Party used to gain and maintain power in the 1920’s and 30’s will reveal numerous stark similarities to those being used by the left and the Democrat Party today.

Ah, but how quickly even commenters here have been quick to buy into the media’s false reporting and turn against this highly respected lawyer… Proves that propaganda can be effective against even those who should know better. Even they can go all wobbly, as Lady Thatcher described it...
