Amateur Hour: Kamala Harris brings it
to Munich
Posted By: PageTurner, 2/21/2022 8:58:12 AM
With little to do in the Biden administration, Kamala Harris has taken now-five trips abroad -- embarrassing herself and her country across the globe. Her to-do in Munich, over the Ukraine issue, in terms of fecklessness, gave Neville Chamberlain a run for his money. Start with this, which she really said: (Snip for tweet) So apparently, she's just noticed that Ukraine has a problem and the U.S. is all over it, coming to Europe to solve it. What's more, she apparently thinks the Europeans, who have already held significant talks with Vladimir Putin over the matter, haven't really been paying attention.

The Russian invasion of eastern Ukraine has finally happened and now the Trump haters who tried to impeach President Trump over Ukraine have much to answer for.
Looking at you, Alexander Vindman. Looking at you, Alexandra and Andrea Chalupa. Looking at you, Fiona Hill.
These are all the crummy little supposedly pro-Ukraine operatives who did their damndest to undermine President Trump during his administration.
After all, the Russia invasion didn't happen on Trump's watch as they plotted and schemed against him instead of did their jobs.

Now that even the blue cities and states are throwing the bums out and Republicans are soaring in the polls and getting ready to take Congress, something interesting is happening:
The Republican establishment is trying to get as far away from Trump-hating Rep. Liz Cheney as possible.
Not the Trump faithful, who have despised Cheney for years -- the old guard Republicans who have been around forever and who are now rubbing their hands together as November beckons:
Just look at what House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who has big ambitions of becoming the next Speaker of the House, is up to:
So Kamala Harris is going to the border. That would be the Ukrainian border, not the U.S. Southern border, to somehow resolve Ukraine's border crisis instead of ours.
According to the New York Post:
Vice President Kamala Harris set off Thursday on a peace mission to Europe as Russia appeared to accelerate preparations for an invasion of Ukraine — undeterred by her failure to resolve the ongoing US-Mexico border crisis as President Biden’s point person on illegal immigration.
About two hours after Harris departed DC to attend the Munich Security Conference, Biden
Long before FBI computer contractor and Clinton operative Rodney L. Joffe allegedly trolled Internet traffic for dirt on President Trump, he mined direct-marketing contact lists for the names and addresses of unwitting Americans to target in a promotional scam involving a grandfather clock. Not just any clock, mind you, but a “world famous Bentley IX” model, according to postcards his companies mailed out to millions of people in the late 1980s claiming they'd won the clock in a contest they never entered. There was just one hitch: the lucky winners had to send $69.19 in shipping fees to redeem their supposedly five-foot mahogany prize.
I think we are supposed to find this funny:
Biden told the [county legislative association's] crowd gathered at the Washington Hilton that, 'I know from personal experience how hard the job you have is.'
He recalled how he represented a middle class to working class district, with 'one very wealthy neighborhood' within its confines.
'And I got a call one night, a woman said to me - obviously not of the same persuasion as I was politically - call me and say, "there's a dead dog on my lawn,"' the president said. 'And I said, "yes ma'am, did you call the county?" And she said, "yes, they're not here."
A Florida woman has been arrested for allegedly using a $15,000 PPP loan to hire a hitman to murder the 24-year-old woman she claimed stole her boyfriend.
Le'Shonte Jones, a TSA agent at Miami International Airport, was fatally gunned down in front of her daughter, 3, outside their home at Coral Bay Cove Apartments in the Miami suburb of Homestead, on May 3, 2021. Her toddler was also injured.
Jasmine Martinez, 33, is charged with first degree murder for masterminding the plot.
Police say Martinez took out a $15,000 pandemic relief loan, which she claimed was for her one-woman beauty salon in operation, and
It wasn't even close.
San Francisco Democrats turned hard on three far-left Board of Education members who kept public schools on lockdown, focused on changing the names of storied old schools to wokester specifications, and told Asians to go to hell on merit-based admissions to the few remaining good ones.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle:
San Francisco voters overwhelmingly supported the ouster of three school board members Tuesday in the city’s first recall election in nearly 40 years.
The landslide decision means board President Gabriela López and members Alison Collins and Faauuga Moliga

With revelations from the Durham special counsel's investigation that the Hillary Clinton campaign in 2016 paid tech executives to spy on the Trump campaign, the Trump residence, and then the Trump presidency, many political watchers think significant indictments are probably coming as a result of it. The tech executive, for one, has fired back at Durham, which if nothing else, signals how big of trouble he might be in. John Ratcliffe, President Trump's former Director of National Intelligence, thinks "significant" indictments are coming.

Hillary Clinton is in big trouble.
With revelations from Special Counsel John Durham's investigation that her 2016 campaign literally paid tech companies to spy on the Trump campaign, the Trump transition, the Trump residence, and the Trump White House, the question now is what kind of felony charges are coming. It looks like this:
Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio noted Special Counsel John Durham alleged in Friday’s legal filing that Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign paid an Internet company to “infiltrate” servers at Trump Tower and the White House to try to tie Donald Trump to Russia.
The U.S. Army unveiled a plan this week to tackle issues surrounding climate change, including the establishment of an electric vehicle fleet, as well as the reduction of the branch's greenhouse gas emissions.
The plan, outlined by the Army in a document titled "Climate Strategy," calls for the service to cut its emissions by 50% by 2030 from 2005 levels and reach net-zero emissions by 2050. The strategy aims to establish an "all-electric light-duty non-tactical vehicle fleet by 2027" and an "all-electric non-tactical vehicle fleet by 2035."
"There are 950 renewable energy projects supplying 480 megawatts of power to the Army today … scoped and planned through 2024," the Army strategy stated.
As if the U.S. were not in bad enough shape militarily, China has a little surprise for us.
Here's the buried news item from Politico's national security newsletter, dated Jan. 11:
A “SURPRISE” IN THE PACIFIC: U.S. Indo-Pacific coordinator KURT CAMPBELL says the region could be in store for a “strategic surprise” — comments that Reuters’ DAVID BRUNNSTROM and KIRSTY NEEDHAM describe as “apparently referring to possible Chinese ambitions to establish Pacific-island bases.”

The suspect's anger escalated, and she started throwing items, including a water bottle, at the other car, as the terrified mother-of-two continued recording with her three and five-year-old sons.

Putin’s ‘Days Of Tyranny And Trying
To Intimidate’ Are Over 30 replies
Following Russia ordering troops into two Ukrainian territories Monday, a 2019 video of then-presidential candidate Joe Biden circulated showing Biden promising that when he becomes president, he would end Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “days of tyranny” and intimidation.
“Once again, Putin and the Russians are trying to engage in our elections and decide who the president’s going to be,” Biden said in a 2019 fundraising ad. “This time I’m the object of their attention. Because Putin knows if I am president of the United States, his days of tyranny and trying to intimidate the United States and those in Eastern Europe are over.”

Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse plans to take aim at the people and organizations who called him a 'murderer', a 'white supremacist' among other things in the run up to his trial and subsequent acquittal. Rittenhouse killed two men and wounded a third during confrontations amid anti-police protests in Kenosha in August 2020. He testified that he acted in self-defense. Last November, the 18-year-old was found not guilty of first-degree intentional homicide and other charges, and walked out of court a free man. Speaking on Tucker Carlson on Fox News on Monday night, Rittenhouse said he wanted to hold major media and entertainment figures 'accountable'
Sen. Lindsey Graham urged the White House on Tuesday to work with Republicans on a bipartisan spending package to shore up Ukraine following Russia’s invasion. Mr. Graham, South Carolina Republican, argued during an appearance on “Fox News” that President Biden needs to act swiftly to demonstrate that Russia’s aggression toward Ukraine is unacceptable. In particular, Mr. Graham said the White House should work with Congress on a bipartisan spending and military aid package. “We need more [Winston] Churchills and less Neville Chamberlains,” said Mr. Graham, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. “We have one president at a time. I stand ready to work with President Biden

Albuquerque, N.M.—Federal officials have come up with a list of potential replacement names for hundreds of geographic features in three dozen states that include the word “squaw,” kicking off a public comment period that will run through late April. U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland in November formally declared the term derogatory and initiated a process to remove the word from use by the federal government and to replace other existing derogatory place names. Haaland said in a statement Tuesday that words matter, particularly as the agency works to make the nation’s public lands and waters accessible and welcoming to people of all backgrounds.

President Biden will announce Tuesday a series of public and private-sector investments to extract minerals such as cobalt, lithium and graphite that are needed for electric vehicles and other aspects of the global shift toward a “clean energy economy,” the White House said. The administration expects demand for these minerals to spike 400-600% generally and demand for minerals used in electric vehicles to jump 6,000% over the next several decades. Mr. Biden is fearful the U.S. is too dependent on China so he will trumpet new investments after ordering a review of the supply chain a year ago. “Critical minerals provide the building blocks for many modern technologies
