[American Thinker] The Mueller special counsel investigation was launched to probe charges that the key FBI officials developing evidence in the case thought were baseless. That's a bombshell accusation that appears to have been confirmed by lovebird-turned-songbird Lisa Page, according to John Solomon. It tends to confirm the suspicion that the Mueller probe is a cover-up operation to obscure the criminal use of counterintelligence capabilities to spy on a rival presidential campaign and then sabotage the presidency that resulted.
Earlier reports indicated that Page has been answering questions from the House Judiciary Committee quite frankly and may even have cut a deal selling out her ex-lover Peter Strzok over their professional misbehavior (and quite possibly worse) in targeting the campaign and presidency of Donald Trump with the intelligence-gathering tools of the FBI.
Last night, John Solomon of The Hill revealed that he has obtained information from sources who heard Page's testimony in two days of sworn depositions behind closed doors that she offered a bombshell confirmation of the meaning of one of the most enigmatic text messages that the public has seen (keep in mind that there are many yet to be released).

She's a lawyer who has lied on record. Either she lied before or she is lying now. I'd say her play will be to say she lied before to stay in the loop until she could out Strzok and McCabe. They, of course, will say she is lying now.

Okay, can Mueller's tent be collapsed and packed away? We've wasted a lot of money on lefty wet dreams. Moreover, Mueller's/Rosenstein's untimely and phony indictments were designed to interfere with diplomacy with Russia.
Can we get on with the Donk/Steele phoney dossier, FISA abuses, U1, election fraud, meddling and rigging, espionage and money laundering charities?
It proves their point, say the Oathkeepers, but it also means that people on the left are done talking.
So, this is how it ends.

While training at FOrt Irwin while a Tank Platoon Leader, I had a chance to fire the M3 on a combat range repeatedly. At 15 yards it was awesome. I actually cut Dow an entire target frame of 2x4s with short bursts. Much beyond that, it was mostly an area fire weapo, perfect for covering fire or un-assing an area
[NationalReview] We are in dangerous times. Amid the hysteria over the Russian summit, the Mueller collusion probe, nonstop unsupported allegations and rumors, the Strzok and Page testimonies, the ongoing congressional investigations into improper CIA and FBI behavior, and a completely unhinged media, there is a growing crisis of rising tensions between two superpowers that together possess a combined arsenal of 3,000 instantly deployable nuclear weapons and another 10,000 in storage. That latter existential fact apparently has been forgotten in all the recriminations. So it is time for all parties to deescalate and step back a bit.
Trump understandably wants to avoid progressive charges that he is obstructing Robert Mueller’s ostensible investigation of Russian collusion, and he also wants some sort of détente with Russia. Mueller has likely indicted Russians, timed on the eve of the summit, in part on the assumption that they would more or less not personally defend themselves and never appear on U.S. soil.
Add that all up, and Trump apparently has discussed with Putin an idea of allowing Mueller’s investigators to visit Russia to interview those they have indicted.
But in the quid pro quo world of big-power rivalry, Putin, of course, wants reciprocity ‐ the right also to interview American citizens or residents (among them a former U.S. ambassador to Russia) whom he believes have transgressed against Russia.
Trump needs to squash Putin’s ridiculous "parity" request immediately. Mueller would learn little or nothing from interviewing his targets on Russian soil ‐ and likely never imagined that he would or could.
On the other hand, given recent Russian attacks on critics abroad, Moscow’s interviewing any Russian antagonist anywhere is not necessarily a safe or sane enterprise. And being indicted under the laws of a constitutional republic is hardly synonymous with earning the suspicion of the Russian autocracy.
Most importantly, the idea that a former U.S. ambassador to Russia, Professor Michael McFaul ‐ long after the expiration of his government tenure ‐ would submit to Russian questioning is absurd. Of course, it would also undermine the entire sanctity of American ambassadorial service.
McFaul, a colleague at the Hoover Institution, who would probably disagree with most of my views, years ago was targeted as an enemy by Vladimir Putin and more recently has been sharply critical of the Trump administration. But, of course, he is a widely admired patriot, a scholar, and voices his candid views, like all of us, under the assumption of free speech and absolute protection under the Constitution. As an ambassador, he was also accorded diplomatic immunity as insurance that his implementation of then U.S. policy would not earn him retaliation from Moscow, both then or now. McFaul is wise enough not to voluntarily submit to be questioned by Russian operatives, and the U.S. government must never suggest that he should.
So, Putin’s offer, to the extent we know the details of it, will soon upon examination be seen as patently unhinged. In refusal, Trump has a good opportunity to remind the world why all American critics of the Putin government ‐ and especially of his own government as well ‐ are uniquely free and protected to voice any notion they wish.

And being indicted under the laws of a constitutional republic shadow government with kangaroo courts and a complicit shill media hardly synonymous with earning the suspicion of the Russian autocracy.
This Shadow Goverment and the Deep State are operating more like "a Stasi controlled East Germany or the USSR".
#4
Ref #2: The lawyers will commence discovery, demanding all of Mueller's information regarding the case. Which almost certainly includes intelligence information we don't want them to have. Otherwise, how did he find out about what Russians are doing in Russia in a secret context?
None of which (the evidence) can be released to anyone, due to an 'ongoing investigation.' Conveniently, anything the Deep State desires has just become unreleasable evidence.

I've been thinking about Mad Mike's beliefs and reasons for those beliefs.
Then I stack them on top of the knowledge that the Obola administration _gave the root password to the OPM database_ to a Chinese "corporation" and neither Mueller, nor Comey, nor the National Review, seemed to make all that great of a fuss over it.
Which makes me wonder what else they gave away and to whom. I already think the cork sucking iceholes gave gargantuan amounts of money to Iran that got forwarded to (gasp!) Russia, without much in the way of objection from any of those people.
[PJMedia] I notice that my July 16 post, "President Trump is Magnificently Right -- This Time About Russia," drew over 650 comments. My July 19 post, "A Letter to Larry Kudlow: You Need a Different China Strategy," drew 9 comments. It ought to be the other way around. Russia has an economy the size of Italy; Putin has managed his slender resources cleverly and made himself something of a pain in the neck, but Russia's diminished position in the world makes any problem with Russia soluble in principle. China has four times our population and an economy that is already larger than ours on a purchasing power parity basis, and it represents a formidable challenge to American preeminence. And they have (approx) 20 million expendable (no matching women) young males.
The U.S. elites didn't anticipate the rise of China because they couldn't believe that a country so different from ours with a repugnant political system could succeed. Gordon Chang first published his book The Coming Collapse of China in 2001 -- since when, China's economy has quintupled in size. China succeeded, and kept succeeding. Yet we continue to hear (for example from Steve Bannon on CNBC yesterday) that China's currency and economy will collapse if we give them a swift kick. Steve is a friend, but in this case he's catastrophically wrong.
...This is the same kind of narcissism that led us to waste $7 trillion in sand castles in the Middle East. We believed that our political system was a universal solution to all human problems, and if we imposed it on other people, they would act like us. In the case of China, we believe that a radically different culture and political system is ready to collapse.
...When Ronald Reagan took office in 1981, Russia and its satellites had a population of 375 million, vs. 225 million for the United States. Although Russia's economy was rotten--as Reagan and his team insisted against the prevailing consensus--its military power threatened to make Western Europe a Soviet economic colony. Reagan beat Russia in the Cold War and broke up the Soviet empire. Russia now has 146 million people, less than half of America's 300 million. Game over. The problem at present is managing a rancorous spoiler rather than a competing superpower.
China is entirely different. Its per capita GDP has risen 45 times (that's 4,500%) since Deng Xiaoping began China's economic reforms in 1979. Although its growth rate has cooled from double digits to between 6% and 7% a year, China's economy still doubles roughly every ten years. China now graduates four times as many STEM bachelor's degrees and twice as many STEM doctorates as the U.S. During the past two years, moreover, Chinese applications to U.S. graduate schools (where foreign students comprise about 4/5 of all students) have dropped by about half during the past couple of years, because Chinese universities are roughly on par with America's in math, physics and computer science. One out of 3 Chinese university students majors in engineering. The number in the U.S. is one out of 14 (and that counts Chinese foreign students at U.S. universities). But USA has a lot more (proportion wise) womyn in STEM - take this Chicoms!
...As I showed in my open letter to Larry Kudlow, China's exports to Asia are three times larger than its exports to the U.S., and have grown three times as much as exports to the U.S. during the past 10 years. China has a $1 trillion program to assert economic dominance over Asia called "One Belt, One Road," and its Asian business is booming.
...Our problem is that we are still living off the basic innovations of the 1960s and 1970s -- fast and inexpensive integrated circuits, LEDs, semiconductor lasers, solid state sensors, flash memory, liquid crystal displays and solar panels. The big money made in U.S. tech has been in software (think of Google, Facebook, Netflix) or design (Apple), not in manufacturing. There's virtually no venture capital going into actual, physical production of goods. We are the geeks in a new Roman Empire. We're addicted to entertainment driven by powerful electronics provided by the Asians--China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. Our biggest import from China is smartphones. The second biggest is computers. Making Americans pay more for selfies and Grand Theft Auto won't solve our problem.
We won the Cold War because the innovations of the 1960s and 1970s became the weapons of the 1980s. That was the result of Eisenhower's response to Sputnik, including a crash program for tech education, the Kennedy moonshot, the tech investments at Harold Brown's Defense Department, and Ronald Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative.
America remade the world. Wages and salaries rose in real terms by 20% between 1981 and 1998 as a result. But we have been coasting on these innovations, making incremental but not fundamental changes, and real wages haven't budged since 1998.

With our help and money. Moreover, much of our manufacturing base has gone away as the result. There are strategic issues in the clobbering of our manufacturing.

"The day before, Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee published all 3,500 ads Russian trolls bought on Facebook in the run-up to the election. Aside from Albright’s own collection, it was the most thorough look yet at how Russia had used social media to try to influence American voters."
Apparently, the only interest group(s) capable of influencing deplorables are those with (however apparitional) Russian ties.
Planned Parenthood, Sierra Club, etc. not so much.
The Democrats have had the equivalent of a sex change operation over Russia. It would make for an hilarious black comedy were it not for the dangerous implications for the safety of the human race ‐ not to mention the increasingly disastrous miseducation of our youth.
In fact, this sex change is so extreme it should make even a card-carrying LGBTQQP2SAA blush.
Take our erstwhile senator from Vermont, Comrade Bernie, even now off touring the country with the latest "progressive" fave, a socialist with the apparent knowledge base of one of those clueless dimbulbs chosen for satiric man-on-the-street TV interviews.
Bernie, as many know, is a man who picked the Soviet Union for his honeymoon. As one who paid two lengthy visits to the USSR at about the same time on "cultural exchanges," I can assure you that most of us would rather spend our honeymoons at a toxic waste dump, which a significant part of that country resembled and still does.
...Only willfully blind true believers could have ignored all of that, but Bernie Sanders did.
And now he's yammering on that Trump is betraying us to Russia. As if.
But he's not half as bad or half as hypocritical as ex-CIA chief John O. Brennan.
Brennan ‐ it is well known and he admits it ‐ voted for Communist Party USA chief Gus Hall in the 1976 presidential election. Talk about sex change operations. He excuses that as kind of youthful indiscretion ‐ he was in his early twenties ‐ and evidently many (including Obama, who gave him his job) believed him or said they did.
But I was only a few years older than Brennan then and remember those days well, since I too was on the left. I was even an acquaintance of such notorious characters as Abbie Hoffman and Tom Hayden and knew dozens of people who, to one degree or another, sympathized with them. Yet not a single person I can recall voted for Gus Hall or even remotely considered it. Hall was a Stalinist, for crissakes! He was anathema, everything the young people of the so-called New Left were rebelling against then ‐ and, in this one case at least, justifiably so. The mass-murdering crimes of Stalin were already common knowledge.
Years later, when I read Brennan was among the minuscule .07 percent who actually voted for Hall, I was astonished. How could such a person end up director of the CIA? I mean, I'm all for redemption and everything, but there are limits. Voting for a Stalinist candidate as late as 1976 would be akin to a personality disorder, almost like voting for Satan. It's one thing to forgive Brennan for this, hard as that may be, but there is something seriously unsettling about putting him at the helm of our most famous intelligence agency. (Other questions have arisen about Brennan's Middle East connections.)
But now we have him leading the charge against Trump, accusing the president of actual treason in his dealings with Putin, the very thing Brennan's former hero Hall directly advocated. It's enough to make a sane man paranoid.

[PJMedia] I got something from one of my readers about the Final Report from the NEA (National Education Association) Resolutions committee, and it was so outlandish I almost dismissed it out of hand.
I’m glad I didn’t. I went poking, and yeah, okay, it’s outlandish and ... well, it’s true.
Read this remembering these people have control of every school in the country (except for a few private ones, which frankly, tend to follow the same program, so they can be accredited and feed kids into the same higher education ‐ holds back metaphor on effluvium ‐ stream.) Read it remembering these people have control of your (and everyone’s) children, 8 hours a day for twelve years of their lives.
Ask yourself if your kids wouldn’t be better off doing just about anything, including wandering the woods or playing video games in that time.
In these days, when even most college graduates are having trouble writing a coherent sentence (for my sins I’ve had to help people ‐ not my kids. I made them learn to use words before ten ‐ write essays to enter graduate programs. Trust me, you don’t want to go there) much less a coherent page; in these days when people with a high school education are unable to add the price of your lunch without a register or a calculator, what is the NEA passionately concerned about?
If you guessed "White Supremacy" you are right. You are also, probably a teacher because no one in their right mind could possibly assume that the National Education Association would be MOST worried about white supremacy. Well, they can't teach, so...

"White Supremacy" is Leftist Newspeak for a democracy composed of over 75% whites. Know them by this, they only want a dictatorship of the proletariat by any name.
h/t Instapundit
Since the presidential election of 2016, nary has a day passed without loudly professed "outrage": Madonna daydreams of blowing up the White House; an undulating pink sea of pussy hats marches for ill defined goals; a bust of Martin Luther King, Jr. is reportedly removed from the White House; Berkeley Antifa manlets smash windows and start fires; House majority whip Steve Scalise is nearly murdered and others wounded by James Hodgkinson; high-ranking "Russiagate" FBI investigators are revealed as deeply partisan. White House officials are menaced in public, egged on by Democratic lawmakers and activists. Trump-supporters ‐ or those thought to be ‐ are physically attacked. Meanwhile, movie stars and comedians engage in escalating one-upmanship of Donald Trump-hatred ‐ and hatred of Trump voters. Trump is just a symbol of America that they believed buried - due to their efforts - long ago (the idea that their EU mentors just using, and despising, them doesn't penetrate)
[Hot Air] Usually, when you hear Planned Parenthood talking about it’s core issue, abortion, it’s in serious tones, i.e. this is a difficult choice which a woman makes in consultation with her doctor. It’s not something anyone takes lightly, etc, etc. And that’s followed with a claim that the right to abortion is under assault and must be protected (usually by making a donation to Planned Parenthood).
The ad isn’t really focused on abortion but it still seems to be claiming there is a threat to your freedom to do...something.

[AmGreatness] Deport the Deplorables is a slogan of popular culture, found on bumper stickers, t-shirts, and internet postings. But now the mini-industry of deplorable/deportable sloganeering has made its way into more elite circles.
With just three words, the phrase "deport the deplorables" sends two popular messages: one, get rid of undesirable American citizens who voted for Donald Trump and who were properly written off in 2016 as deplorables by Hillary Clinton. And, two, by implication, don’t deport the illegal aliens who broke U.S. immigration law. Or put more succinctly, foreign nationals who crash our borders are innately superior people to citizens of the working- and middle-classes who voted for Trump.
A bipartisan disdain exists for the middle and working classes, whether periodically politically manifested as the old blue-dog Democrats, Perot voters, Reagan Democrats, Tea Party activists, or Trump supporters. On the Left, they were derided as the clingers of rural Pennsylvania whom Obama blamed for his 2008 primary loss to Hillary Clinton in that state and who never appreciated his genius: "And it’s not surprising, then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

It might be instructional to the Donk Blue state Elites to go down to a USMarine Corp barracks just about dawn and introduce themselves to the Platoon already up since about 4AM and stringing machine gun ammo together and explain their views to the men and see what they think.
Just ask if you can park your Mercedes or your Porsche back there and come up on the loading dock and sit on the ammo bases and offer to "help" stringing the bullets into the little metal links. You can join in the conversation by being of use and sharing the work load. It might be a bit rash to join in the PTThat starts about dawn and you need time to allow the Mess Hall food to settle... and the daily seventy be a bit too arduous for you ( plus you aren't dressed for it ). Ask the men if they Embrace the Suck ? See if they laugh at your sense of civilian camaraderie .

Do they still have a place in the geography of Quantico called "Skid Row"? Back a few years ago it was where they had the "aggressor platoon" for the combat simulation training. Mostly men "just" back from Vietnam and they were sort of de-pressurizing from that and doing what they were familiar with for a time. You can see the sense of that.
Cross the railroad tracks and out on a spit of land swamp on three sides. You understand, that sort of thing. 4 murders in a year depressurizing. Good aggressor troops, let's be realistic.
Height of the Peace Movement, McGovern ? I forget. Marines tend not to be political much. But we knew how America felt about us and treated us. Your haircut gave you away when you tried for dates in DC sort of thing. My ploy was the Cosmetic Counter girls at the Dept. stores at the Malls and the Coffee shops on Connecticut Ave. up from Georgetown. A few Girls like men who look like men and some do. It was sometimes a way of sorting out your chances. that or take a squad of PLC's and drill them on the grass at Mary Washington College. That worked too. Dinner and dancing at the George Washington Inn and a tour in the Moonlight at the battle of Fredricksburg overlooking the river.
We had a McGovern favoring Captain who drove a Cadillac. We slipped a pillow case over his head one night and put him naked into an Ice Cream truck icebox parked at the airstrip. And then we stripped his Cadillac and left it up on blocks.
You can imagine how the average Marine feels about the Donk Party, Obama, and the California Left now that we are all grandfathers and have grown sons of our own. As aggressor troop it was 30 of us against 200 to 400 of the men we were "training".
They were going over to Viet Nam as soon as they graduated. We were just back from there. A good quarter of a million of us today. And maybe another 2 or 3 million of us with wounds we remember every day. Holding a new grandson and drinking my Coffee this morning.
The Left doesn't stand a chance as long as I and the USMCorps are still here. No one is going to Deport me, or my son, or my grandson.
My deplorables are still safe.
