-Lurid Crime Tales-
Ann Coulter: The Great Epstein Cover-up, Part I
[Breitbart] Question: Is our ruling class trying to make us to think they’re a bunch of pederasts? Our media could not be less interested in Jeffrey Epstein’s child molestation ring and, with the sole exception of the Palm Beach Police Department, every arm of government has bent over backward to bury the case.

(Who says our media and government can’t work together?)

The jury’s courageous delivery last week of five "guilty" verdicts against Epstein’s pimp, Ghislaine Maxwell, was a sort of reverse jury nullification. The U.S. attorney’s office — the prosecution — did everything it could to get an acquittal, but the jurors defied them.

#6  ...Oh, almost forgot - Fox reports yesterday that two Maxwell jurors do not appear to have mentioned that they were both victims of abuse, opening the doors to the serious possibility of a mistrial.

One juror went to the media to announce in a somewhat murky fashion that he was an abuse victim, it didn't really come to memory until the trial, and he doesn't remember if there was anything on the jury forms or not. (SPOILERS: If there wasn't, then Maxwell's counsel was at best incompetent and at worst actively stupid.) The other juror just said that they were a victim of abuse, and didn't elaborate.

This sort of question appears on jury forms all the time, and especially in high-profile cases like this - put simply, defense counsel isn't going to want a victim of abuse deciding whether or not their client is guilty of facilitating abuse. I for one am not normally an advocate of conspiracy theory...but this is just a bit too perfect.

#13  As for media coverage, did you even know that the FBI found Epstein’s cache of sex tapes labeled “(name of underage girl) + (name of VIP)” — and then lost them?

No, I didn't. But I don't believe those tape are really lost. They're in a vault some place...either that or Bill Clinton has them in his media room so he and his pervert friends can watch them.

-Great Cultural Revolution
AP tosses race card into game on 6 Jan anniversary
WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Cori Bush is no stranger to protests. She spent years marching the streets of St. Louis and Ferguson, Missouri, rising to public office on the strength of her activism.

But as the Missouri Democrat looked out the window of the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 — only her third day as a member of Congress — she knew what was about to take place would be no peaceful protest. The Confederate flags in the crowd, and the makeshift noose and gallows erected on the Capitol grounds, spoke to a more sinister reality.

"I’ve been to hundreds of protests and have organized so many protests, I can’t count. I know what a protest is: This is not that," Bush, who is Black, said recently in an interview with The Associated Press.

The insurrection by pro-Trump supporters and members of far-right groups shattered the sense of security that many had long felt at the Capitol as rioters forcibly delayed the certification of Democrat Joe Biden’s election victory.

But for people of color, including many in Congress, the attack was more than a violent challenge to a free and fair election — it was an eerily familiar display of white supremacist violence, this time at the very seat of American democracy.

#1  I don’t remember anything about a noose and gallows — have I forgotten or is this the first time it’s been mentioned?
Posted by: trailing wife || 01/06/2022 8:54 Comments || Top||

#2  The gallows were certainly make shift. The noose was small but obvious. It looked like it was made of something like wooden paint sticks. It could not have been used to hurt anyone, simply symbolic.

I'm pleased her sense of security was shattered. Those black, white and Asian white supremacists really did a number on Karen Bush.

#3  the makeshift noose and gallows erected on the Capitol grounds, spoke to a more sinister reality.

A sinister and much more imaginary reality. If such things were actually present, we would have been bombarded with pix, vid and commentary about them. She knows they were there because she remembers them being there. My guess is she saw a poster with the gallows and pasted it into her mental movie. It's not a lie if you really believe it.
Posted by: SteveS || 01/06/2022 9:16 Comments || Top||

#4  Hmmm. Didn't some lefties set up a fairly large facsimile of a guillotine in front of Bezos' home at some point? I really don't remember the media having a problem with that. Of course, no black people were symbolically menaced by that, so no harm, no foul.
Posted by: M. Murcek || 01/06/2022 9:22 Comments || Top||

#5  Of course the people who historically had actually used gallows and nooses and such were.... wait for it... wait for it.... Democrats!

#8  F--king projection from a mendacious thuggish lefty clown.

Of course a left-wing agitator like Gory Bush knows all about violent protest theater -- her comrades' fave symbol for the last five years, from Portland to Bush's St Louis to Washington DC, has been the guillotine.

Including in front of the White House in August 2020:

Vaccinated Women Are Now Lying About Their Vax Status As More Men See Them As Infertility Risk
"It's your baby!"
[CovidWorld] Everyone was told that those who did not get the jab would regret it, but now it seems that the opposite is true. In a startling reversal, women who have had the COVID vaccine are being shunned in the dating scene by potential partners due to issues with possible birth defects and infertility.

#5  Dating is tough, it’s even tougher now that vaccines are being mandated in many parts of the world. The dating pool has now shrunk immensely for those that are looking to avoid dating someone injected with deadly spike proteins and other unknown ingredients.

In a world where big tech is censoring, shutting down apps, groups and banning people from using their 1st Amendment rights, it’s time for a platform to make true connections with those of like-mind, who believe Freedom of choice over what they do with their own body is always preferable over a medical tyranny.

#10  The thing around here the last couple three weeks has been a gushing monologue involving checking out and the cash register attendant used as a foil.

Not many, not out here, so it is noticeable and awkward like a corporate advertisement when nobody in real like talks like that. Just making a corporate statement pitch to nobody, and everybody.

Four out of those five occurrences were women.

Anecdotes, unless others have noticed something like this?

-Land of the Free
Monarch Fauci Turns Increasingly Desperate
[ET] There’s a famous story about the 11th-century King Canute of England, in which in front of his courtiers he commanded the tides to stop—and yet they kept on rolling. This likely apocryphal anecdote is generally misrepresented as illustrating the monarch’s presumptuous folly in thinking his writ could control the elements, but in fact it proved exactly the opposite: there are some things beyond the powers of secular authority, Nature among them.

Flash forward a millennium. As we enter year three of "two weeks to flatten the curve" and "fifteen days to slow the spread," where do we stand in Dr. Anthony Fauci’s quixotic battle against the CCP virus, aka COVID-19, aka Omicron? And the answer is, about as well as Canute, but without the king’s self-knowledge.

The simple truth is that as long as Fauci is permitted his unconstitutional sway over American public policy, his mandates will never, ever, ever, ever stop. The only tool this undistinguished career bureaucrat has in his arsenal is a hammer, and you are his nails. No matter how erratic or contradictory his advice has been, the fact that COVID is still among us is your fault. Therefore, the punitive ukases
Czar-imposed edicts
will continue until moral improves.


The monarch of all he surveys is now floating the idea of requiring—under what authority?—a negative COVID test to accompany a mandatory five-day self-isolation period for those who test positive for Omicron but show no symptoms. The CDC recently lowered the quarantine period for such reprobates from ten days to five, bringing on pushback... from "health officials" who adamantly oppose any lessening of restrictions, of course.

What Fauci floats, however, has a funny way of becoming pungent reality, especially given his mania for more "testing"—as if testing could somehow ameliorate things, rather than simply hand the government your name, address and phone number for future reference. Especially now as—miraculously!—the news media breathlessly reports stories of the incredible comeback of the seasonal flu (driven nearly to extinction by the Dreaded COVID last year) and warning that it’s hard to distinguish between Omicron and the flu.

Worst of all is the unforgivable sin of Fauci’s reign of error: he has made you hate and shun your fellow man. No longer are we all Americans, going about our lives in the land of the free in the pursuit of happiness. Today, we eye suspiciously anyone not wearing a slave muzzle, convinced by Fauci & Co. that they’re all spewing deadly radioactive COVID particles, which are sure to infect and sicken us, and the only thing that can save us is the elimination of the unvaccinated. Just ask Joe Biden, who’s promising them "a winter of severe illness and death."

#1  The point of the fable of "the boy who cried wolf," is that when the wolf finally came, nobody believed him. Fauxi has pretty much guaranteed that when the real bio disaster comes, (from China, funded with your tax dollars via Fauxi's machinations) far too many will die unnecessarily because of his megalomaniacal malpractice.
