[Gateway] An ex-FBI agent who led the bungled investigation into former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens
....Navy SEAL lieutenant commander, Rhodes scholar, founder of The Mission Continues, which redeploys veterans to service in their communities, Missouri’s first Jewish governor was very effective during his brief time in office (1/2017-6/2018). He is currently campaigning for a seat in the Senate...
pleaded guilty Wednesday to witness tampering in a deal that spared him from a trial and placed additional spotlight on the prosecutor behind the case.
William Tisaby appeared in a St. Louis Circuit Court and entered the plea to one count of misdemeanor evidence tampering and was sentenced to probation, which was immediately suspended. It was not immediately clear whether Tisaby was required to cooperate in any further investigation.
Tisaby had been facing trial on six counts of perjury and one count of evidence tampering in an indictment that accused him of hiding evidence and lying during the investigation into Greitens, a Republican who was forced to resign as governor after St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner charged him as taking a compromising photo of a woman he had an affair with.
The charges were dramatically dropped when Gardner admitted she did not have evidence the photo was taken and the woman testified she may have dreamed up the allegation.
Gardner has not been charged with criminal wrongdoing but has been accused by Missouri’s chief legal disciplinarian with violating dozens of attorney standards of conducts during the prosecution, including withholding exculpatory evidence. She faces a hearing on those allegations on April 11 and has denied wrongdoing.
Come for the abortions, stay for San Francisco and Disneyland (or Disney World — I’ve never mastered which one is where). A small investment to increase tourist dollars as productive companies flee for more hospitable climes.

ISTR this committee serves for a term independent of the president's, and members from previous administration's are the norm.

Health care has already been politicized. So it's more of "look at me!"

Carpetbagger
In the history of the United States, carpetbagger is a largely historical term used by Southerners to describe opportunistic Northerners who came to the Southern states after the American Civil War, who were perceived to be exploiting the local populace for their own financial, political, and/or social gain.
[Breitbart] Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) told President Joe Biden’s Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson that he did not find her testimony "credible" after the judge claimed she did not remember a child pornographer to whom she gave a light sentence.
"You know what I think?" Cotton said. "I think he got caught with child pornography again, and wouldn’t have if he had been in prison for the eight to ten years that the guidelines called for in 2013 when you first sentenced him."
On Wednesday, during day three of Jackson’s confirmation hearing, Cotton mentioned a case involving child pornographer, Wesley Hawkins, who the senator noted, "was convicted of a child pornography offense in 2013."
"The sentencing guidelines for this offense called for a sentence of 97 to 121 months, or eight to ten years," Cotton explained. "The prosecutors asked for 24 months; you sentenced him to three months."
"We’ve heard a lot about this case and your three-month sentence of Wesley Hawkins," the senator continued. "But you got another crack at him in 2019, judge. In 2019, you sent Wesley Hawkins back under conditions of confinement with the bureau of prisons for six months, with additional restrictions on his computer usage."
I consider this all a Song and Dance, See my Pony show.
Look what the GOP is dealing with here:
Voting against a Female, Black (minority), Liberal, Pro-LGBTNQO, that won't even share what she considers defines a Female and to top it off with rapidly approaching Mid-Terms.
Sadly I put her odds as pretty good at being confirmed along party lines given a few senate RINO's.
But how can a career DC swamp RINO Rat handle it and still look good both ways?
Look and question toughly, then agree to do a Voice Vote to hide your vote?

She is sympathetic towards Islam?
That must be why she sought to defend and release the islamists of Guantanamo prison!
I bet she supports BDS and thinks Israel is an apartheid state.

Blackburn nailed her to the wall...not that it will matter in the end. MSM will never show this exchange so people will never know just how far out there this woman is and the Senate will confirm.

Isn't claiming there's a biological aspect to male vs female (don't open the "gender" can of worms) actually something the left hates?

So she doesn't like women, doesn't like children, and doesn't like anyone who isn't her style Black.
And doesn't know anything.
Charming.
Enough people have been live-blogging the hearings that the NYT had to make a comment about it, and conceded she had some bad, err, tough moments.

She didn't say there's no difference, she just implied that she's not qualified to tell you what it is.

In other words, identifying as a human being is beyond her purview. Behold the new Perfect Democrat. How dare we stand in judgement! We will be punished for our apostasy.

This is the trend I'm concerned about; only those with a certified credential are allowed to comment on a subject. Like everything The Scarecrow says should just be ignored until the end, when The Wizard hands him a diploma.
Its the tool they are using with teachers; you can't comment on public schools unless you are working for public schools, because what do you know about it?
It was the same shit with the Covid. It was like, "Warming water until it is hot to the touch will sterilize it."
"No, you need to bring it to a boil for at least five minutes."
"Oh, what do you know about it, you have a degree in hydrodynamics? You some kind of biologist? Go pray to your best friend in the sky that you don't destroy the planet with your flat earth bullshit, and I hope you die."
[Western Journal] An administration devoted to destroying the legal framework for immigration just got a lesson in the law.
Since President Joe Biden took office 14 months ago and unleashed a flood of illegal immigrants from the southern border to points throughout the U.S., he’s been aided every step of the way by a disgrace of a homeland security secretary more interested in hobbling his department’s own agents than enforcing his country’s law.
On Tuesday, a federal judge in Ohio, said "no."
According to CBS News, District Judge Michael Newman — appointed in 2020 by then-President Donald Trump — issued a nationwide injunction again enforcement of parts of a memo issued in September by DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas that limited the cases where Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents should seek to deport illegal aliens.
Newman ruled in favor of attorneys general from three Republican states — Arizona, Montana and Ohio — who challenged the Mayorkas memo as flouting federal law under the guise of making law enforcement more efficient.
[Federalist] Joe Biden is no longer useful to the ruling class.
It is painfully obvious, as was predictable, that Joe Biden’s presidency is a dumpster fire. As demonstrated by the party’s destructive callousness towards children, the elderly, and the poor during their Covid lockdown frenzy, Democrats care about none of these real-world results of their policies. But they do care about polling, and Joe Biden’s is abysmal.
According to even heavily politicized polls, Biden is at least performing as badly as Donald Trump. Biden is between the third- and fifth-most ratings-underwater president ever in American history at this point in his first term.
Biden of course also has the advantage of a wildly favorable press and social media monopoly while Trump had the strong headwind of a wildly negative one. That factor obscured for a great many of American voters actions that easily demonstrated long before his election that Biden was unfit for the presidency.
Now that he’s president, however, and very publicly bungling essentially every major issue all the way up to U.S. national security, Biden’s weakness and incompetence have been impossible for the corrupt media to entirely cover up. Biden’s appalling withdrawal from Afghanistan may have been the first major blow to public confidence in his governing ability, and it’s been followed by blow after blow: the repercussions of ending U.S. energy independence, historic inflation caused by massive government spending, aggression by America’s foreign foes, a tacitly open border with human trafficking of historic proportions, not to mention fueling America’s legalized mass killings of unborn infants and forcing schools to inflict gender dysphoria on the children in their care.
So yes, the polls look bad. That’s why Democrat officials suddenly switched away from their Covid mania, lifting mask mandates in blue states, ending the daily falsified “body counts” on TVs and newspapers, and jumping immediately into European war hysteria. But that’s not been enough to turn those polls around. Historic indicators presently suggest a “red wave” in the upcoming midterms.
That brings us to The New York Times’s recent “limited hangout“: its highly suspicious, very late acknowledgment that, hey, that laptop containing evidence that Joe Biden is just as corrupt as his son Hunter Biden told Russian prostitutes — that laptop is real, and so is its data. Yes, the United States’s top foreign adversaries likely have blackmail material on the U.S. president, and likely paid him some very big bribes.
Oh, and yes Twitter and Facebook did use their global communications monopolies to rig the election for Joe Biden by hiding this information (and who knows what else).
Why would The New York Times do this — and Facebook and Twitter not ban this information release just like they did before? Well, one explanation is hierarchy reinforcement. As I wrote Monday, like forcing their “minions” to wear face masks, the ridiculously belated laptop confirmation also equals the ruling class “flexing their power to say things they won’t allow their political opponents to say.”
There’s another explanation, though. It’s that Joe Biden is no longer useful to the ruling class. After being used to win an election, he’s now making it impossible for them to credibly foist on Americans the idea that his party could win another one with him on their masthead. The donkey is showing through the lion skin, and so they need a new donkey.

Harris will be dealt with first. Expect a Ron Brown sort of retirement for her. That will be the sign that Joe is on the way out. The only question will be whether he resigns quietly or "Dr." Jill puts up an ugly fight.

Harris resigns to pursue other interests. Biden appoints Hillary as VP. Biden resigns, citing ill health. Hillary is president. Establishment goes full-on censorship and repression, massive voter fraud in 2024, Hillary elected, and American democracy sunsets in favor of open oligarchy.
Then Hillary brings in Victoria Nudelman to prepare another coup, in Moscow.. which will end like Hillary and Nudelman's grand adventure in Benghazi. Only this time the regime will not fall but will launch nuclear missile attacks on the US

This is like picking up a periodical in the grocery store check out line next to the gum. Maybe they will replace Harris with Snookie. Not sure how old she is. Pro tip - if you shake hands with Snookie in the receiving line, go hard on the post-shake Purell.

The Scandis are European White People which makes them nicer and better than American White People, all of whom fought for the Confederacy in the War Between the States.

Brahmins fancy themselves 'white'
Harris is a half-Brahmin. Like many Indian expatriates in the Caribbean her mum was eager to avoid the taint of being viewed as black.

I understand the April update will have Ivan Drago as Pickett; gonna be lit.
OT/watched Red Cliff recently because it was handier than searching for the DVD. There were parts I don't remember and I was like, "Sure, long movie, directer's cut." Then there was the scene where Fan Man had to harvest 60,000 arrows or whatever under penalty of death, which made Team Sun kind of sketchy...maybe I missed that part, because it sure watched like the sketchy, which I thought was an excellent part of the story, was edited out. The movie Moose was absolutely Cloud Edited.
[The Federalist] According to a recent headline from The New York Times, "the CDC isn’t publishing large portions of the COVID data it collects." That headline downplays what the article in fact reveals:
Two full years into the pandemic, the agency leading the country’s response to the public health emergency has published only a tiny fraction of the data it has collected, several people familiar with the data said.
The article says when the Centers for Disease Control "published the first significant data on the effectiveness of boosters in adults younger than 65...it left out the numbers for a huge portion of that population: 18- to 49-year-olds, the group least likely to benefit from extra shots."
"The agency has been reluctant to make those figures public," according to the Times, "because they might be misinterpreted as the vaccines being ineffective."
After "several inquiries from The New York Times," CDC unexpectedly decided to publish its data on the risks of hospitalization and death from both unvaccinated and vaccinated Americans, with or without booster dosing. But it did so in a manner that obscures younger individuals’ overall Covid risks, which is very low, instead attempting to force a comparison between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals’ hospitalization. The exact data about Covid risks by specific age has not been released in any graphical or easily viewable form anywhere.
This rationale for deliberately hiding government-collected effectiveness data was even confirmed by the CDC’s spokeswoman, Kristen Nordlund. This taxpayer-funded agency didn’t want to give taxpayers the full picture of vaccine effectiveness—for their own good.
It also feels confident enough to publicly admit this, but only after many Americans were fired from their jobs and suffered from serious adverse events and deaths after they were forced to take shots they didn’t want based precisely on false narratives fueled by CDC duplicity.
That rationale from the CDC hardly justifies the fact that the selective omission of public health information is more than clinical malpractice; it is scientific fraud.
