Project Veritas’s last round of videos went after CNN. Is this round about ABC? Incidentally, this is a popular post: Skidmark linked to it in comments yesterday, and Lex also submitted the link, though without embedding(?) the video.

Popular perhaps because of all the recent Veritas media videos, this one completely captures how corrupt, stupid and incompetent are the nation's broadcast pro's.
#2
Popular, I think, because so many of Project Veritas’s projects drive changes in behaviour— shutting down ACORN, requiring voters to provide ID in New Hampshire or wherever, Lex.
Herb, if YouTube disabled embedding, how did you manage it for us?

I don't think there is much interest in finding out what happened to Jeffrey Epstein. There will most likely be a report about the mishandling of high profile prisoners and poor jail procedures and mismanagement where the real story will go untold.
Those who Epstein had dirt on most likely breathed a sigh of relief when Epstein "cashed out." I wonder what the FBI found when they searched Epstein's Manhattan apartment and Little St. James Island. What do Ghislaine Maxwell and Jean-Luc Brunel and others know? What was on Weiner's computer. A good investigation would address these issues.
[BREITBART] Swedish climate activist Greta "Pippi" Thunberg ...an autistic sixteen year old Swedish expert on climate change... is looking to the world for suggestions as to how she can re-cross the Atlantic after next month’s U.N. climate summit in Chile was unexpectedly scrapped.
The 16-year-old made it from Sweden to Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, by yacht, train and electric car before Chile’s government announced it was canning the summit because of political unrest in the South American nation.
The COP25 summit will now be held in Spain and she is pleading for public help to make the 6000-mile trip through carbon-free modes of transportation.
"As #COP25 has officially been moved from Santiago to Madrid I’ll need some help," Ms Thunberg tweeted from Los Angeles.
"It turns out I’ve travelled half around the world, the wrong way."
"Now I need to find a way to cross the Atlantic in November ... If anyone could help me find transport I would be so grateful."

Why not simply teleconference? Moving bits is cheaper than moving atoms. Ignoring for the moment that electricity was invented by a dead white man which makes it evil.
No doubt about that. All the same, I am amused by music streaming. Do you think many millennials or younger have any idea of the totally non green aspects of streaming the same songs over an over? Any idea of the streaming companies' data center energy usage? Of the infrastructure of the Internet's energy usage?

I have no beef with clean energy sources. I wouldn't want to live next to a coal mine. I remember coal furnaces. But at the same time the energy sources being used need to make sense. In their use, their planning and most importantly in the prosed method of energy storage for off peak or night hours for solar plants. It's my hope that someday we have practical fusion plants. Of course the green wines will want to stop them 'cause they're nuclear.
To telecommute might be better,

Washington (AFP) ‐ A cyclist who was fired after flipping the bird - making a rude single-fingered gesture ‐ to US President Donald Trump's motorcade has been elected to local office in Virginia. Juli Briskman, whose one-handed salute was captured in an AFP photograph that went viral, beat the Republican incumbent to a seat on the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors in state elections that saw Trump's Republican party suffer a series of stinging defeats.
The single mother of two teens lost her job as a marketing analyst for a United States government and military subcontractor after the snapshot of her gesture spread across media and the internet in 2017, bringing her insults and threats.
But getting fired also opened "a lot of doors" no doubt
, the 52-year-old told AFP during her campaign, including accepting an invitation to run for local office on the Democratic ticket.
That decision paid off on Tuesday night, as Briskman celebrated her victory in a tweet that linked to a copy of the image.
"Looking forward to representing my friends & neighbors in #Algonkian District who backed me up today! So proud that we were able to #FlipLoudoun," she wrote.
With 52 percent of the vote after 99 percent of precincts had reported, the result saw Republican Suzanne Volpe beaten into second place.

Not the actual impeachment, then, just formal hearings preparatory to preparing an impeachment bill for the House to vote on so they have something to take to the Senate.
So exciting.
But it will soothe the slavering far-left base... while persuading ever more Independents that they’re completely nuts. Well done, guys!
Limbaugh, 68, reading excerpts from the RealClearInvestigation report, said: "Federal documents reveal that the 33-year-old Ciaramella, a registered Democrat held over from the Obama White House," Limbaugh said. "Why the hell was he still there? What do you mean, 'held over'? This guy — I’ve probably seen this guy there. I’ve been to the Oval Office two or three times since Trump’s been president. I’ve been in the West Wing. I’ve probably seen this guy slithering around. It never even registered. Next time I go, I’m gonna keep a sharp eye for people I think might be John Brennan holdover plants, ’cause they’re obviously slithering all over the place."
The radio host argued that Ciaramella was allied with Joe Biden, who was vice president when Ciaramella worked at the White House, and John Brennan, CIA director at the time of Ciaramella being detailed there and subsequently a fierce critic of Trump.
Limbaugh said of Ciaramella: "This guy was involved from the get-go, starting in 2016, doing John Brennan’s bidding from the West Wing on furthering the whole Trump-Russia collusion operation of which there wasn’t one! As per the esteemed Robert J. Mueller XIV or whatever Robert J. Mueller he is."
Ciaramella was evidently appointed just prior to Soetoro leaving office.
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) ‐ The Latest on Virginia’s legislative elections (all times local):
10 p.m.
Virginia Democrats are taking full control of the statehouse for the first time in more than two decades.
Democrats won majorities in both the state House and Senate in Tuesday’s legislative election. This is the third election in a row that Virginia Democrats have made significant gains since President Donald Trump was elected.
The win will give Democrats control of the legislature and governorship for the first time in 26 years. Democrats have pledged to pass new gun restrictions and raise the minimum wage once in power.
Virginia is the only state with legislative elections this year where partisan control was up for grabs. Much of the contest centered on how voters feel about Trump and his possible impeachment.

[Right Scoop] The DOJ has published a new memo explaining that Democratic House committees investigating Trump’s impeachment MUST allow White House attorney’s present or the testimonies will be legally invalid:
It’s sad that the DOJ would need to put something like this in a memo because it’s common sense that the White House would need to protect executive privilege. Schiff thinks he’s going to win the argument by calling this “obstruction of justice”, but anyone with common sense will see through this. I say that knowing that there are many people out there whose hatred of Trump overrides their common sense.
Regarding Bolton skipping his appearance, rumors that he’s going to show up later this week aren’t true:

Impeachment is not a 'legal' process but a political one, and the power to set the rules for it is vested in the House, so it could be argued that there is no legal right to a lawyer - or that there is. It would probably have to go to the Supreme Court, where Roberts would have to decide whether his personal secrets were more important than impeachment processes...
(Reuters) - U.S. Democrats claimed an upset win in Kentucky on Tuesday over a Republican governor backed by President Donald Trump and seized control of the state legislature in Virginia, where anti-Trump sentiment in the suburbs remained a potent force. Read: DC Bureaucrats and hangers-on
Update at 1:05 p.m. ET: Headline rewrite: Democrats get overexcited in Kentucky. Republican Gov. Bevin did not concede, which means it’s about to get interesting — Kentucky has procedures for very close races.

[WCPO] Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin says he won't concede defeat to Democratic challenger Andy Beshear in one of the closest political races in history with a margin of 5,150 votes - 0.36% of more than 1.4 million counted, according to the unofficial tally.
Bevin told supporters Tuesday night that the process needs to be followed in such a close race - an apparent reference to Kentucky's three options for trying to overturn the outcome. Bevin knows the process because his opponent challenged his 2015 Republican primary victory.
There is no mandatory recount in Kentucky, but a candidate can go to court and sue for it.
So depending on whether Governor Bevin chooses a recanvass of the voting machine to make sure the counts were reported accurately, a recount of the votes themselves, or an election contest, we’ll know within ten days what will be done, if not how long it will take.

Bevins nearly won and he still might. There were other wins in Kentucky (AG and others). I heard it said that Bevins picked up about 6-8 points because of Trump rally and endorsement.
A win in Mississippi. There have been other wins as well.
Virginia. I'd bet the areas around Washington decided the election. A place where swamp-draining is not popular as many work for the government.
The MSM tries to paint a picture of doom and gloom for the Pubs.
[Breitbart] On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s "Right Now," former Obama administration Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said U.S. ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland’s testimony offered "the clear definition of bribery."
CNN correspondent Manu Raju read excerpts from Sondland’s congressional testimony in which he said a meeting between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was conditioned on an investigation into the company that Hunter Biden served on the board, Burisma Holdings.
Panetta said, "I think it’s important to keep focusing on the basics. And the basic charge here is that the president of the United States was asking a foreign leader and a foreign government to open up an investigation on a political opponent and on a political conspiracy and in exchange for that would provide not only a meeting at the White House but also military aid. That is the clear definition of bribery. And it’s a clear definition of what constitutes a violation of the president’s oath. So this is just additional evidence that when you look at the testimony, when you look at the facts here, it basically supports a charge against the president that he was deliberately misusing his office of the presidency."
What Russiagate falsely alleged is precisely what Clinton did with Chalupa and the Ukrainians, and with Steele, GPS, Page/Strzok/McCabe, Halper, Mifsud, Downer and the Russians.
God what shitty people these are.
The only q here is, Will enough swing voters see through this obvious shell game?

^ NEVER AGAIN.
Exactly the problem with our Shitshow process. It promoted a stoner as an affirmative action admit to an elite college, where he f---ed around and learned nothing, whereupon he was accepted as an affirmative action admit to an elite law school, where he he f---ed around and learned nothing, whereupon he was accepted as an affirmative action admit to an elite law review, he f---ed around and WROTE NOTHING-- absolutely nothing-- which never happens for editors of that law review.
Whereupon he was accepted as an affirmative action hire to a Chicago law firm, where he f---ed around and achieved nothing and was, FINALLY, washed out and forced to confront his essential shallowness. At which point he reinvented himself as something called a "community organizer"-- who organized no one and, once again, achieved nothing. You know the rest.
Enough of this virtue signaling, identity politics Shitshow.
I stand corrected and confused. Buttigieg is an impressive person with many accomplishments. Bright guy. He'd probably be the most difficult person to debate. I think the West and East coast left wing establishments would love him. IMO, the rest of the electorate is a little fed up with the Progressive game of "let's push a candidate who checks off as many of our identity politic categories as possible."
[BREITBART] Longshot Democrat presidential candidate Julián Castro is laying off campaign staff in New Hampshire and South Carolina in order to focus his narrow resources in Iowa and Nevada, according to Politico.
Hold it! Somebody I never heard of has just quit the race? Hmm.
Castro is said to have told staffers in the early primary states that next week would be their last on the campaign. The development comes after Castro issued a fundraising plea to supporters late last month in which he sought $800,000 in donations over 10 days or he would be forced to drop out from the crowded Democrat presidential primary race. After the plea, Castro’s campaign said it raised $1 million for the month. Like Spinal Tap, their appeal is becoming more selective
Although Castro has participated in all four DNC debates, the former San Antonio mayor and Obama-era Housing and Urban Development secretary has failed to gain traction in the polls.
In addition to Castro, Sen. Kámala Harris Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, now a senatrix from California and 2020 Dem presidential hopeful, indistinguishable from the others... (D-CA) has been forced to downsize her flailing White House campaign amid dismal polling and overspending. She plans to lay off campaign staff and close three offices in New Hampshire as part of an effort to go "all-in on Iowa."
[Free Beacon] Three leading Democratic presidential candidates recently endorsed a new policy regarding U.S. military aid to Israel: It should be conditioned on Israel embracing policies toward the Palestinians favored by American progressives.
At the J Street conference last week, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) demanded that Israel "fundamentally change" its approach to terrorist-controlled Gaza, adding, "I think it is fair to say that some [U.S. military aid to Israel] should go right now into humanitarian aid in Gaza." Israeli officials believe such moves would enable Hamas to import more weapons and lead to another war. South Bend, Ind., mayor Pete Buttigieg
... former presidential candidate and future former mayor. His husband must be a bit concerned that it’s his turn to support them both in the style to which a former McKinsey consultant is entitled to be accustomed...
called for cutting aid if Israel annexes the West Bank, which Israel has no plans to do. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) said military aid should be cut if Israel is "moving in the opposite direction" of the "two-state solution," which most progressives believe Israel is doing. None of the candidates announced demands on the Palestinians.
The statements show the extent to which anti-Israel sentiment has spread from progressive activists to the Democratic Party mainstream. The calls for aid cuts are at odds with the longstanding strategic rationale for military aid to Israel, which has never been intended to promote peace with the Palestinians or the two-state solution.
