Bill Murray was right: The Washington
Post framed Richard Nixon
Posted By: rememberwhen, 3/9/2025 3:06:17 PM
In a recent podcast interview with popular host Joe Rogan, comedian Bill Murray complained about the false description he felt famous journalist Bob Woodward had rendered of Murray’s good friend, the late John Belushi. As he expounded to Rogan on what he felt was Woodward’s gross inaccuracy, Murray mused that as a result, he began to think that President Nixon was framed by Woodward’s similarly false reporting during the Watergate scandal. While Murray was not making a serious allegation about Watergate, in fact he was generally correct:

The hammer is about to drop on Act Blue, the Democrats’ golden goose of fundraising, as House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) teams up with the FBI to expose what could be the biggest money-laundering scandal in American political history.
In an explosive interview with Benny Johnson, Comer laid out a damning case against the far-left fundraising juggernaut, accusing it of funneling billions in suspicious cash—potentially from foreign adversaries—into Democrat coffers under the guise of “grassroots” donations.

President Donald Trump will sign an executive order making English the official language of the United States.
Despite English being the predominant language, the U.S. has never had a national language at the federal level...
The summary of the order said the goal of making English the national language is to promote unity, establish efficiency in the government and provide a pathway to civic engagement.
Let's Aim for Historical Accuracy

As an amateur historian -- and probably not a good one -- I go nuts when I see amateurish fictions tendered as core premises. This is no more frequently found than in Hollywood; but do not kid yourself, it is not confined to Hollywood...Of course, there are other mistakes, but the grandest mistake of all is Islam.
It is now coming out into the popular realm that the historicity of Mohammed may be a total fabrication. Not merely a distortion, but a total fabrication. Robert Spencer has written a polemic questioning the whole historicity of Islam’s founder. And not just Robert Spencer, but Dr. Jay Smith.

REP. JAMIE RASKIN: Well, the Department of Justice traditionally has enjoyed institutional independence from the office of the president. The president has not ordered investigations into specific individuals or terminated investigations into others. That principle was, of course, tested during Donald Trump’s first presidential administration. He seemed to want to treat the Department of Justice as a mere adjunct of his own presidency, under the unitary executive theory.
Welcome to Orwell’s World

George Orwell, that idealistic socialist disillusioned by the Soviet “Workers’ Paradise” (what the great Ronald Reagan called the Evil Empire), took special note of how communists perverted language. Famous, in 1984, the motto was “War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength.” In our time, as well, our speech is polluted by words that do not speak the truth but cover it up. Here are some of them.
Below is my answer to Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s (D-Texas) burning questions and observations, which she cried out at a recent congressional hearing:
You tell me which white man was dragged outta their homes! You tell me which one of them got dragged all the way across an ocean and told that you’re gonna go to work! We’re gonna steal your wives — we’re gonna rape your wives. That didn’t happen!
Trump’s nomination of Kash Patel threatens to turn the FBI into an instrument of personal presidential power.For more than four decades before Donald Trump assumed the presidency, the FBI director was a position above politics. A new president might choose a political ally as attorney general, but the FBI director was different. ...And so it continued into the 21st century. Except in a single case of serious scandal, Senate-confirmed FBI directors stayed in their post until they quit or until their 10-year term expired. Never, never, never was a Senate-confirmed FBI director fired so that the president could replace him with a loyalist.
After the results from this week’s Presidential election shocked Democrats across the country, following months of being told by disingenuous polls that Kamala was leading or neck-and-neck with President Trump in each of the swing states, some have begun to call for audits and investigations. The proverbial shoe is now on the other foot.
While Kamala has conceded defeat to President Trump and Democrat politicians have remained relatively silent in these calls, constituents have had a different sentiment and have taken to social media to insist something is amiss.
Kamala Harris and rapper Lizzo held a campaign rally in Detroit, Michigan on Saturday.
Harris needed a celebrity rapper to drum up support.
But Lizzo never performed.
A visibly exhausted Kamala Harris was on stage in Detroit for only six minutes and 36 seconds.
In contrast, President Trump was on stage in Detroit Saturday night for 1 hour and 27 minutes.
The 2020 Theft Saved This Country

Self-professed radio guru Jessie Kelly recently did a show discussing the reality that, often, what seems like a win in life can turn out to be a loss, and what seems like a loss can turn out to be a win.
I was thinking about this regarding the uproar from the vice-presidential debate question to JD Vance whether he thought Trump lost in 2020. First, let’s state the obvious… of course, Trump won in 2020...So, at first glance, this looks like -- and felt like -- a significant loss for the right and conservatism...But was it?

Polls Show Senate Control Is Slipping
From Their Grasp 8 replies
New polling numbers out of the states of Ohio and Wisconsin are very good news for Mitch McConnell and very bad news for Chuck Schumer. Panic seems to be setting in for Democrats as they see their chances of retaining control of the Senate slip from their grasp.
In Ohio, Democrat incumbent Sherrod Brown is consistently polling behind his Republican rival, Bernie Moreno. RedState reported last week on polling from RMG Research that showed Moreno ahead of Brown by a 48 percent to 46 percent margin. New polling out from ActiVote confirms Moreno's lead, with the new data having Moreno sitting at 51.1 percent while Brown is at 48.9 percent.

federal probationary workers after "unlawful" terminations 28 replies
Washington — A federal judge in California ordered six federal agencies to reinstate probationary employees who were fired last month, finding that their terminations by the Office of Personnel Management were unlawful.
U.S. District Judge William Alsup in San Francisco handed down his order in a challenge brought by a group of unions against the Trump administration from the bench. He said that neither OPM nor its Acting Director Charles Ezell had the authority to direct the terminations across agencies.
The order extends relief to fired workers at the Departments of Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, Defense, Energy, Interior and Treasury.
"It is a sad, sad day when our government would fire some good employee
Several House Democrats have privately called on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) to launch a primary challenge against Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer after he backed a Republican-led funding bill to avert a government shutdown.
Even centrist Democrats are outraged by Schumer’s decision, with some "so mad" that they are "ready to write checks for AOC for Senate," according to a Democratic lawmaker who spoke with Ocasio-Cortez at House Democrats’ annual policy retreat Thursday evening, CNN reported.
SAUGATUCK, Mich. — Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is set to announce that he will not seek an open U.S. Senate seat in Michigan, a move that leaves the door wide open for him to seek a much bigger role as his party’s next presidential nominee. Since his role in the Biden administration ended in late January, Buttigieg has spent months considering his next move, including a serious look at the unexpectedly open U.S. Senate seat in Michigan, where he relocated in recent years. But many prominent allies he consulted believed he could not realistically pursue the Senate seat while

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) insists President Trump is trying to start a civil war in this country and indicated it would take incredible restraint from the left not to fight back.
Waters, speaking at a Democrat retreat in Northern Virginia, made repeated assertions that Trump is gearing up for war.
She kicked off the unhinged commentary by telling reporters the administration's efforts to reign in fraud, waste, and abuse in the federal government would leave seniors suffering and "homeless people ... on the street."
“And so when that happens, what does Trump expect?"

Democrat governors have a “resistance” playbook created for them that includes draft executive orders to defy the administration’s immigration policies as well as instructions on deploying the National Guard.
The Governors Action Alliance, a Democrat organization that founded the group Governors Safeguarding Democracy, provided such guidance to the staffs of Democrat governors across the country after the election of President Donald Trump.
The 126 pages of the playbook—including emails, talking points, and a “Firewalling for Freedom – Template Gubernatorial Executive Order”—were obtained in a public records request from the office of Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro by the private nonprofit watchdog group Government Accountability and Oversight
Entrenched Democrat Rep. John Larson launched into a red-in-the-face tirade over Elon Musk’s mission to root out waste and fraud within government ranks.
Accusing Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee of keeping the DOGE chief from testifying, Larson screamed and pointed at those on the floor while seemingly questioning Musk’s “genius.”
“Where’s the independence of the committee!” Larson screamed.
“Where’s Elon Musk? I’m sure he’s a genius and is a very credible person because of the wealth he’s accumulated, but that does not put him above the law or the responsibility to come before this committee in this Congress,” Larson yelled, completely glossing over the groundbreaking innovations

The State of California must borrow $3.44 billion dollars to cover a shortfall in Medi-Cal, the state’s Medcaid program — a year after expanding it to offer free health care to illegal aliens.
As Breitbart News reported at the time: “Beginning January 1, 2024, illegal aliens residing in California will become eligible for taxpayer-funded health insurance — the first state in the nation to enact such a policy.” Governor Gavin Newsom had boasted of the budget agreement that made such a dramatic offer possible: “With these new investments [sic], California will become the first state to achieve universal access to health care coverage,
A mere day after Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) proclaimed that Republicans don't have the votes to clear the way for a continuing resolution (CR) to fund the government through September, the New York Democrat has caved and will vote for cloture to allow the recently passed CR a vote in the Senate.
"Republicans do not have the votes in the Senate to invoke cloture on the House CR," Schumer proclaimed Wednesday. "Funding the government should be a bipartisan effort, but Republicans chose a partisan path drafting their continuing resolution without any input from congressional Democrats."
Schumer’s grandstanding on Wednesday sure looked like a bluff — a desperate attempt to strong-arm the GOP
Longtime Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva, D-Ariz., died Thursday from “complications of his cancer treatment,” his office announced in a statement. He was 77. Grijalva, who served in the House for more than 20 years, was elected to Congress in 2002. During that time he served as chair of the Natural Resources Committee, and most recently was the top Democrat on that House panel. He also was one of the leading progressive voices on Capitol Hill, and was the longest-serving co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, from 2009 to 2019. (Snip) Grijalva is the second House Democrat to die in office
American Federation of Teachers honcho Randi Weingarten’s sudden outrage over Team Trump’s plan to abolish the federal Department of Education is simply about losing her own power and influence — not any risk to the kids.
America’s “competitors — and adversaries — are no doubt cheering President Donald Trump’s plan to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education,” Weingarten asserts in an MSNBC column, pretending the DOE “helps give all children in the United States access to the great public school education they deserve.” [snip]
“A gutted department would mean fewer teachers, more crowded classrooms and increased mental health and behavioral challenges for students,” she lies.
Columbia University announced Thursday it has expelled or suspended students who expressed anti-Israel sentiments while occupying a campus building last spring. The Ivy League school has also revoked the diplomas of some graduates.
Columbia’s judicial board issued “multi-year suspensions, temporary degree revocations, and expulsions” related to the forcible takeover of Hamilton Hall, the New York university said in a campus-wide email. The number of punished students was not provided.
The announcement comes as Columbia faces a fierce crackdown from the Trump administration over the elite school’s failure to protect Jewish students and punish those engaging in antisemitism on campus.

An interesting take on the Watergate scandal. If I remember correctly, G. Gordon Liddy stated on his radio program that the purpose of the "burglary" was to obtain evidence of a prostitution ring being run out of DNC HQ.
