    was voted out of her presidency on the Flint Community School Board 6-0 on Wednesday during an emergency meeting

  • She allegedly attacked school Treasurer Laura McIntyre
    ...white , “queer”, also three children...
    by 'grabbing her throat, slamming her head down on the table, and punching her repeatedly in the head'

  • McIntyre said she would pursue the 'full extent' of the law and has filed a police report against Green

  • Green said this doesn't 'define her or her record of service' and that she isn't 'proud' of the moment

  • Green's boyfriend said in a Facebook Live video that people need to 'get the full story' before believing what McIntyre said

  • He claimed that 'Danielle just looking out for the kids. She wanted to bring new schools'

#1  Narcissistic rage.

And even with the overwhelming evidence, the white person is still a liar. Always blaming others for their crimes. It's times like these we should remember the Narcissist's Prayer:

That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.

Hunter Biden & Ukraine, once again: Biden's financial involvement with Ukrainian bio labs experimenting with pathogens, anthrax

#1  No wonder there was so much panic about getting Joe in there to cover up this whole mess. If trump were there, no war, and there would be a lot of heat and investigations hitting.

They are probably happy Putin attacked. It helps them cover any tracks they have left, and makes Ukraine into an "ally" who is being bludgeoned to death by artillery, while DC insiders and their pets in the press are ignoring the corruption there (because they were in on the take), and banging the war drums. The Big Buy is getting his cut. And so are others as well.

If anyone ever flips over all the rocks, there are boing to be a lot of naasty things revealed.

Government Corruption
Rep. Issa Hits 12 Involved in Hunter Laptop Interference with Document Preservation Notices
[Breitbart] Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA) has submitted document preservation notices to twelve individuals from the intelligence community, White House, Facebook, and Twitter — as Republicans in Congress are gearing up to take back majorities and investigate election interference with regard to the suppression of the "Laptop From Hell" series in October 2020.

Rep. Issa is demanding former DNI boss James Clapper, former CIA boss Micheal Hayden, former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, former CIA head John Brennan, former top CIA aide Nick Shapiro, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain, White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Meta Communications Director Andy Stone, former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, and current Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal all preserve documents relating to their involvement in suppressing the New York Post’s bombshell exposé on the Hunter Biden laptop in the lead up to the 2020 presidential election, according to letters obtained exclusively by Breitbart News.

The news comes as Breitbart News exclusively reported Wednesday that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) announced House Republicans had sent dozens of preservation notices across the federal government to agencies and departments throughout Biden administration, ordering them to preserve documents in anticipation of eventual subpoenas from House Republicans after the 2022 midterm elections.

The letters from Issa to the various characters begin similarly, demanding the recipient "immediately initiate document preservation for all materials relating to questions, inquiry, conversation, strategy, and response, from 2020 to current, to the media reporting of the Hunter Biden laptop and/or its contents that first appeared in the New York Post on October 14, 2020."

#1  Hunters extensive gov't travel, unique Eastern Euro contacts, along with placement & access (P&A) make him an ideal source for intelligence community exploitation.

Please someone, tell me it didn't happen.
Posted by: Besoeker || 03/25/2022 3:21 Comments || Top||

#2  LOL as if the intelligence community takes orders from Congress!

Congress passed a law forbidding them to spy on Americans. They broke our law and did precisely that. Then they lied about it under oath. Nobody went to prison or even lost a security clearance.

The guy has his own p0rn channel that he manages with files stored on his laptop. Anyone could hack into that computer and tunnel into others on his company's network. His father's surely compromised.

He also slept with Russian hookers - can you say, honeypot? - and took money from oligarchs in Moscow Kiev and Kazakhstan. Compromising the Biden family would be child's play for any competent spy outfit.

#10  The question is whether Issa will have subpoena power and backing this time. His Fast and Furious hearings were great television, but in the end nothing happened. I suspect that Boehner was smoking a dube that the White House supplied and nobody was held accountable.

Saying how they planned to use the over-taxation to fund more socialist type things. Disregarding the fact it was 1 time excess excess revenue situation. They wanted to make it ongoing to give more away to those sitting at home that could work for it.

McConnell: ‘I cannot and will not' support Jackson for Supreme Court
[Washington Examiner] Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Thursday he would not support Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court.

"I cannot and will not support Judge Jackson for a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court," McConnell said in remarks on the Senate floor.

McConnell argued Jackson was not prepared to answer questions on her judicial record or philosophy, arguing her record was more sparse than previous nominees.

He also criticized Jackson for not taking a position on the size of the Supreme Court when asked about calls from progressives to add additional justices to counteract the current conservative balance.

"The most radical pro-court packing fringe groups badly wanted this nominee for this vacancy," McConnell said. "Judge Jackson was the court packer’s pick, and she testified like it."

Jackson’s nomination, McConnell argued, is part of a push from the Biden administration to make the nation "softer on crime."

"The judge regularly gave certain terrible kinds of criminals light sentencing guidelines," McConnell said, repeating Republican arguments that Jackson's sentences for child pornography offenders as a trial judge were lenient. Jackson said her sentences were within legal norms and guidelines that judges must consider as a matter of law.

#3  "The most radical pro-court packing fringe groups badly wanted this nominee for this vacancy," McConnell said. "Judge Jackson was the court packer’s pick, and she testified like it."

That's really disturbing. I didn't know this about her. How can anyone even think about appointing a justice who doesn't support the integrity and independence of the Supreme Court? Hope the Republicans stand firm on this one
Posted by: Spanky Spailet9594 || 03/25/2022 9:47 Comments || Top||

#4  If she can't give a definition of the word "woman" she is not qualified to hold any public office. You don't need to be a biologist to do that. All you need is to be a human being with a little bit of common sense. Ketanji Brown Jackson doesn't qualify.

#7  McConnell is putting his foot down ... while on the side telling Romney, Sasse and everybody who is not running for reelection to vote for her. He is a man firm in the principles that he signals whenever his chances of party leadership in the next session look in doubt. Most of the Republican Senators just bluster and play act like conservatives while the several votes that Schumer needs he gets. The "moderates" rotate through the betrayal in sequence so that everyone's voting record looks like it is on the up and up. This is a case where McConnell and Graham get to act like hard guys. Romney, Sasse and Portman will vote with the Dems this time.

Trump sues Hillary Clinton, DNC over 'unthinkable' Russia 'plot' in 2016 election
[NYPOST] Former President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and whatever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
on Thursday filed a $24 million federal lawsuit alleging that Crooked Hillary Clinton
...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away. Politix is not one of her talents, but it's something she keeps trying to do...
and the Democratic National Committee launched a wide-ranging "unthinkable plot" in 2016 to smear him and his campaign as colluding with Russian officials.In the suit, filed in the Southern District of Florida, Trump claims the goal was to fabricate a scandal in an effort to "cripple" his bid for the presidency.

"In the run up to the 2016 Presidential Election, Hillary Clinton and her cohorts orchestrated an unthinkable plot — one that shocks the conscience and is an affront to this nation’s democracy," he says in the 108-page complaint.

"Acting in concert, the Defendants maliciously conspired to weave a false narrative that their Republican opponent, Donald J. Trump, was colluding with a hostile foreign illusory sovereignty."

The 45th president alleges that the scheme concocted by Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, and others falsified evidence, deceived law enforcement and exploited "access to highly-sensitive data sources" — and was "so outrageous, subversive and incendiary that even the events of Watergate pale in comparison."

#6  He filed it as a RICO event. He is setting up for the next election. Hid, Democrats are corrupt" will be full blown in the courts. If he can win against the dems as RICO, they will all go away.
