Recently declassified documents indicate that people close to former FBI Director James Comey and Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff were connected to leaks of classified information to prominent reporters designed to portray Donald Trump and his allies as being in league with Russia.  Written in 2017, the FBI documents expose how selected Washington reporters, including Ellen Nakashima of the Washington Post and Michael Schmidt of the New York Times, scored a series of Pulitzer Prize-winning scoops in 2017 by repeating false and inflammatory leaks during President Trump’s first term.   Much of their reporting has been debunked – and shown to be part of a smear campaign by high-ranking officials to undermine Trump,

I can't wait for the day that Adam Schiff if hauled off in handcuffs to finally account for his crimes. His smug self righteous lying straight to our faces over and over again has earned his all of the disdain that he will receive on this comment page!

I notice the New York Times mentioned in the lead paragraph. Why, isn't that the same rag mentioned in a 'Must Read' that is getting sued by President Trump for $15 billion for....lying? Bankrupt them, Sir.

It was all done in an attempt to insert a sick, fat and obnoxious old lady into the White House to check some leftist boxes. She had the potential to be worse than Joe Biden was.

Golly. Isn't that interesting that the media and government colluded in Russiagate. It all started about 9 years ago before President Trump was even sworn in. I'm sure someone, somewhere will get around to doing something about it in, oh, another 9 or 10 years. Heck, maybe they'll be extra, extra thorough and make sure everything can be presented to a court in a nicely wrapped, air tight package with a big red bow on it in 20 or 30 years.

Long read with a huge volume of illegal activities that will take a long time for the new current administration to organize if they even can. There are still plenty of corrupt government "investigators" still present to obstruct and confuse and the MSM, as the article mentions, will not report (and has not reported) this scandal because they need to protect their integrity (as if they still have some).

Those investigating the whole scheme crafted by Democrats and pushed by the compliant media looking to curry favors instead of practice journalism, should be meeting with Paul Sperry to help shorten their investigative work. They should spend whatever it takes to have a large team reviewing the whole scam that wasted taxpayer dollars, for a bogus investigation, had multiple people who abused their office and position for partisan politics, and was a significant contributor to the political divide seen today. Amazingly, many (far too many) still believe the Russia story was true. That's how out of touch they continue to allow themselves to be. It needs to be on the official record and the trail of information that was hidden by Democrats, so they can't continue to lie about it. Their legacies need to be tarnished and history know what they did, and failed to do. I'm surprised he didn't mention his March 22, 2019 article "Dossier-Tied Firm Pitches Reporters Daily on 'Collusion'" in RealClearInvestigations which is also very long and detailed.

When the Preference Cascade Becomes a Flood 4 replies
Posted by Moritz55 9/16/2025 6:06:00 AM Post Reply
I’ve written before about preference cascades — where large portions of the public, often a majority, conceal their views for fear of punishment, only to reveal those views when some precipitating event takes place. Classic examples include the fall of Communist regimes, like Ceausescu’s Romania, where even Ceausescu himself thought everyone loved him until shortly before he was stood in front of a wall and shot. Usually those happen in one direction. But in contemporary America, they’re happening in two. The murder of Charlie Kirk at the hands of a leftist gunman has revealed that many, many more Americans — and even people elsewhere around the world — supported Charlie

Liberal host Bill Maher mourned the killing of conservative activist and Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk, contrasting conservatives who embrace dialogue with far-left activists who, he argued, seek to silence it. "Look, I might drink a little more than usual today," Maher told guest Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins. "Because I don’t know when this is airing, but this is a s--- day. A guy who sat there – Charlie Kirk – got shot today, and I can't stop thinking about it." Kirk’s assassination during a campus event stunned the nation and reignited a national conversation about the value of political dialogue – even across deeply divided ideological lines.

A House Republican is demanding that Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., be stripped of her committee assignments, accusing her of making disparaging comments toward Charlie Kirk after his assassination last week. Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., is introducing a resolution on Monday to remove Omar from her two current committees: the House Budget Committee and the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. She is the top Democrat on the latter panel's Subcommittee on Workforce Protections. It's part of the continued fallout from Kirk's killing in Utah during a college speaking event.

Lexi Kuenzle, 33, a nurse at Englewood Health, filed suit Friday against the hospital, Dr. Matthew Jung and others for the incident that allegedly occurred "in front of patients and staff."

From all early signs, Tyler Robinson’s “reasons” for taking Charlie Kirk’s life came straight from the lefty disinformation machine that has been screaming about right-wing fascism for at least half the confessed assassin’s life. At least two “anti-fascist” messages on the cartridges; a relative noting how in conversation he insisted Kirk “was full of hate and spreading hate” — all horribly in tune with the many lefty talking points uttered after the assassination suggesting Kirk was asking for it. Yes, the extreme right has its own sicko extremists, but Robinson didn’t have to dunk himself into the sewers of the Internet to imbibe the incessant refrain that President Donald Trump

In the aftermath of the assassination of Charlie Kirk by a violently deranged and hate-filled leftist (yes, that is a confirmed fact), some on the hard Left have been publicly expressing justifications for, and even celebrations of, the murder. These ghouls do not represent America, nor do they represent America's center-left coalition writ large. Many politicians, public figures and private citizens on the 'progressive' end of the spectrum have prominently and unequivocally denounced the killing. This must be acknowledged and embraced with gratitude by all people of good will. The forces of decency must stand together against the cancer of political violence and twisted vigilantism.
