[The Federalist] House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes (R-CA) on Sunday suggested that American intelligence agencies should be shut down until they comply with handing over information collected on Donald Trump and his campaign back in 2016.
"Every Republican senator and member of Congress should be saying, 'This is over. We want every damn bit of evidence that every intelligence agency has or it’s maybe time to shut those agencies down,'" Nunes told Maria Bartiromo on "Sunday Morning Futures."
"Because at the end of the day our liberties are more important than anything else we have in this country and they have been stampeded over by these dirty cops and the Democratic Party and the media who fails to report on it."
According to Nunes, the newly declassified documents from Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe show former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton set up the 2016 Russia investigation into the Trump campaign. Clinton created the Russia collusion hoax to shift public scrutiny away from her email scandal. Nunes said those documents are "smoking guns" that the American people deserve to see.
"You have corrupt officials and I think that’s the point here. Are you going to go back to elect somebody like Biden who just the other night, Maria, had the audacity to go after President Trump for once again, for what? I think he said that [Trump] had Putin wrapped around his finger. And then [Biden] didn’t answer the question on why did his son get $3.5 million from a Russian oligarch with ties to Putin?" Nunes asked.

On his own? Curious statement, given how many R's have simultaneously come down with it

that the intel agencies attempted a coup, or that they were too incompetent to pull it off.
It didn't start off as a coup. It began as an intelligence collection operation for Hillary Clinton. After Trump won and the operation blown by the NSA's Adm Rogers, it morphed into a hasty coverup of the intel op by targeting Gen. Flynn. It wasn't until after Trump fired Strzok, Comey and gang that the Meuller special council/Pelosi/Schiff impeachment operation got going and by then it was pretty much in the open.
I have no doubt if the the Democrats and Senior Executives had planned a coup or assassination from the beginning, they would have succeeded.

The Rose Garden event wasn't the smartest idea, and I guess few Democrats attended. So that's that.

[The Federalist] House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes (R-CA) on Sunday suggested that American intelligence agencies should be shut down until they comply with handing over information collected on Donald Trump and his campaign back in 2016.
Let's start with a two week shutdown to flatten the curve and go from there.
BLUF:
[American Thinker] The sudden illness of so many prominent Republicans brought to mind a mostly forgotten incident in January 2018. A chartered train carrying Republican lawmakers and their families to a retreat collided with a garbage truck that inexplicably was stranded on the track. The front car derailed, killing one person. The media displayed no interest in the story and offered no follow-up articles explaining the unlikely scenario.
Seven months before the train crash, a gunman opened fire on members of the Republican congressional baseball team, severely wounding Steve Scalise, who was then serving as House Majority Whip. NBC reported: "Witnesses told investigators that when the gunman arrived at the ballfield, he asked people, "Are these the Republicans or the Democrats?"
In the almost four years since Trump has become president, Republicans have suffered three potentially mass fatality events. The coming months may finally bring some answers about these incidents. It’s time for the American people to understand what’s happening to them.

Tin foil hat, my ass. No sane person should put anything past these people. If they colluded with Russians to concoct the Steele Dossier they could just as easily collude with Chinese to release covid-19. They are certainly mad enough to do it. The Chinese are certainly hostile, aggressive and reckless enough to do it.

I wouldn't put it past a lefty who had symptoms to make sure they want to work that day knowing Trump was going to be around. Attack of opportunity. Loan gunman type thing.
[NationalReview] The news media until recently had rarely criticized the medical advice of experts — especially those who worked for federal bureaucracies, international organizations, or elite universities.
Yet the much-praised Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of the World Health Organization, has demonstrably weakened the effort to fight COVID-19.
During the critical initial weeks of the virus’s spread, Tedros parroted Chinese propaganda. He falsely assured a complacent world that the virus was probably not transmissible between humans and did not warrant travel bans. The fact that Tedros was the first WHO director not to have a medical degree was seldom cited by the media.

True, not always, but with their ideas of global warming and al-Gore and that NYC should have been under water by now (their "science"), I know where I am putting my money.

Akin to, and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-military posture, has been the technological revolution during recent decades.
In this revolution, research has become central; it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the Federal government.
Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been overshadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.
The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded. Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific technological elite.
The man they always fall back upon concerning the "military industrial complex" also clearly, but largely ignored, warned about where we are now.
[JPost] - US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has paid a visit to the eastern Mediterranean, where he met Greek leaders. He was also in Cyprus on September 12. Turkey has been threatening Greece and Cyprus and causing tensions in the eastern Mediterranean. Ankara’s challenge has caused Greece, Cyprus, Egypt and Israel to work together more closely.
Pompeo’s trip appeared to illustrate a new US commitment to listening to Athens and Nicosia, rather than appeasing Ankara’s aggression. The trip raised eyebrows in Ankara where leaders have gotten used to bashing the US while also having a direct line to the White House.
Most recently, Pompeo aimed criticism at Turkey for fueling tension in Azerbaijan and Armenia because Turkey had said it could support Azerbaijan militarily. He also expressed concern that Syrian mercenary fighters, many of them wanted for looting in Afrin and Libya and known for religious extremism, had been recruited by Ankara to fight Armenia.
For the first time, the US appears to be confronting Turkey over its fueling of conflict all over the Middle East. In the last year Turkey has invaded Syria, bombed Iraq, threatened Greece with forcing refugees across the border, stoked tensions in Idlib, signed deals with Russia, sent arms and Syrians to Libya illegally, threatened to "liberate" Jerusalem from Israel’s control, threatened the UAE, bashed the Israel-UAE deal, hosted Hamas terrorists, encouraged war between Azerbaijan and Armenia, and continued to put journalists and opposition politicians in prison.
...The recent trips to Cyprus and Greece seem to have caused Turkey to wonder if Pompeo has finally changed tack on Turkey.
Instead of the double game where the US coddles Turkey with some diplomats but expresses concern with others, the trip purposely avoided meeting Turkish officials. Over the years Ankara’s officials have gotten used to meeting with Russia and Iran while always bashing European and western leaders. Turkey does not take the West seriously and thinks slandering the US, France, Germany, Austria, Holland and other countries is how to get progress from western officials. Turkish pro-government media for instance, regularly bashes the US while not critiquing Russia and Iran the same way. Turkey was lost the moment Erdogan was elected.
Yes.

caused Greece, Cyprus, Egypt and Israel to work together
[America's Survival] Cleveland Clinic, the sponsor of the presidential debate, admits that at least 11 positive coronavirus tests can be traced to members of the media or organizers of the event. This is either gross incompetence or malfeasance for a federally-funded organization supposedly specializing in health and welfare.
These mysterious people were "scheduled to work logistics/set-up in the days prior to the event," the clinic says. Is it too outlandish to suggest that one or more could have been tasked by a foreign enemy with spreading the virus in such a way as to threaten the life of President Trump?
If there is a lesson the American people have learned about Trump in the more than three years he has been in office, it is that he has challenged the power of the Deep State. Nobody knows this better than Senator Chuck Schumer, the Senate Democratic leader, who once questioned why Trump would fight the intelligence agencies, since "they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you."
At a time when Netflix is running "Wormwood," a drama about the mysterious death of a military biochemist in the CIA’s MK-Ultra mind-control program, liberals and conservatives have got to agree that the intelligence agencies will stop at nothing to impose their will on those who resist their plans.
To this day, nearly 20 years after the post-9/11 anthrax attacks, the FBI has still not officially figured out who did it, perhaps because the anthrax was stolen from a U.S. lab and used by al Qaeda terrorists. The truth is just to difficult to tell.
The truth is that U.S. intelligence agencies are thoroughly infiltrated by the enemies of the United States, who also happen to be Trump’s enemies.

They are the Deep State and have been for many years.

Sure are a lot of coincidences for people acting on a stage of this magnitude. Same week the Access Hollywood tapes 'came out' 4 years ago, oddly. I guess we're all just lucky that Nan and Chucky haven't gotten into all those other 'arrows in their quiver'. Oh well, must be the simulation toying with us all.

The left believes he is Hitler. The Deep State sees him as a threat to 'Endless Wars' and the MIC. I suspect someone has an Unternehmen Walküre (Operation Valkyrie) somewhere in the planning stages.

Precisely.
Might want to start by looking at Kellyanne Conway, whose husband has made no bones about wanting Trump gone, and whose daughter is a raving loon on Twitter.
I know a lot of people would recoil at the thought, because she seems like one of the great Trump loyalists -- but that would be the perfect cover, wouldn't it?

As the real polling numbers suggestTrump may have such a landslide that the postal scheme can’t cheat enough to offset, people and enemies foreign and domestic who know what fate awaits them in a second term will increasingly consider dramatic actions to counter the campaign and impact the last month push. This is about control of the country, and for the left and the deep state, existential. Think about how far you would go if it threatens everything you believe in...or in the case of the sedition’s deep state partisans, prison.

It'll be interesting to see if a bunch of CIA folks retire after a Trump landslide. Certainly would make it easier than purging the place the way it apparently needs to be purged.
[Jpost] In 1982, prime minister Menachem Begin testified in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Then-senator Biden told Begin that US aid to Israel could be cut off if actions in the West Bank did not cease.
Begin responded, "Don’t threaten us with cutting off your aid. It will not work. I am not a Jew with trembling knees. I am a proud Jew with 3,700 years of civilized history. Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens. Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country. We paid for it. We fought for it. We died for it. We will stand by our principles. We will defend them. And, when necessary, we will die for them again, with or without your aid."
Biden slammed on the dais, clearly angry with what Begin was saying. Begin continued, "This desk is designed for writing, not for fists. Don’t threaten us with slashing aid. Do you think that because the US lends us money it is entitled to impose on us what we must do? We are grateful for the assistance we have received, but we are not to be threatened. I am a proud Jew. Three-thousand years of culture are behind me, and you will not frighten me with threats. Take note: we do not want a single soldier of yours to die for us."
All American Jews and those claiming to be allies of Israel should know of this exchange. When Biden states he will not threaten Israeli aid, this moment should be brought up every time.... The Obama administration oversaw the lowest point in the US-Israel relations since Israel's establishment in 1948. Biden was party to regular leaks of Israeli intelligence and political attacks targeting Israel on the global stage. In 2010, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the US to mend relations. The prime minister was taken in and out of the White House through a side door with no official media related to the visit.
Biden also worked to pass the Iran nuclear deal, which Israel heavily opposed. There are reports that in a 2014 meeting, Obama threatened to shoot down Israeli fighter jets should they target facilities in Iran. Biden does not get to run on the Obama-Biden record and play coy to these events. It is no coincidence that a month before Netanyahu addressed the House of Representatives, the Obama administration decided to declassify a 386-page report on Israeli nuclear capabilities.

JINO: (J)ewish (I)n (N)ame (O)nly. Or at least that was the impression I developed after talking about politics from a self-proclaimed Socialist Armenian-American Atheist Jew (the underlined were the identities that he seemed most invested in).
[Guns America] History - In 1959, Smith & Wesson introduced the Model 49 Bodyguard. The Bodyguard featured a distinctive humpback shape that shrouded the hammer spur. The design allowed the Bodyguard to be cocked for single-action fire while still being suitable for pocket carry. To some, it was the best of both worlds.
To many, the Bodyguard was never as sexy as the Centennial or as classic as the Chief’s Special. However, it had a loyal following, especially for those who pocket carried. The Bodyguard has survived throughout the years and is currently produced in two models. The Model 638 Airweight, is chambered in .38 Special, and the Model 649 stainless steel, is chambered in .357 Magnum. Earlier this year, I reviewed the Model 638 and it was only reasonable that I follow-up with a review of the Model 649.
