#8  Who scripted Biden's editorial in the New York Times today? Biden is either schizophrenic or else a helpless puppet. Either situation is extremely dangerous.

"We do not want to prolong the war just to inflict pain on Russia" - President Biden: What America Will and Will Not Do in Ukraine May 31, 2022,

"We want to see Russia weakened to the degree that it can't do the kinds of things that it has done in invading Ukraine" - Biden's Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, April 26, 2022

"The United States will not try to bring about [President Putin's] ouster in Moscow." - President Joseph R Biden Jr., May 31, 2022

"For God’s sake this man cannot remain in power" - Biden in Poland, March 26, 2022

For the world's sake let us hope that this extraordinarily reckless, and foolish man is removed before it's too late.

#12  Who scripted Biden's editorial in the New York Times today?

Yesterday, not “today.” Please check the scripted posts for revealing errors before pasting into threads where they might fit.

The editorial was a staff project. The exact name doesn’t matter. Ditto for the Biden presidency, which is a group project that would not change a whit were he disposed of and replaced by his differently incapable vice president.

it wasn't the plain folks of the land that did this. It was the ones who went to Harvard and Stanford.

Snowy Thing nailed it.

#13  My surmise is that the Puppet, with is diminished cognitive ability, has finally noticed his risible status as the Teleprompter President, and that his own comments are corrected almost always by "they" in the White House. This chafes him and he is actually thinking about breaking the deal with the Kalorama Cabal and "being" an actual President. This awakening will be the short precursor to his departure via some ruse of health, or the 25th.

I suspect the Cackle-Jackal is already being asked for her commitment to the Teleprompter Presidency, but doubt she will keep her word five minutes after she is sworn in.

#17  They're too discreet to say so out loud, but the Indian establishment is appalled by and terrified of Biden.

There is no telling what this lying blustering bully has in his mind -- no evidence of any strategy or logical coherence to his statements. He has said three times that he will go to war over Taiwan. He has said repeatedly he aims to kill or depose Putin and reduce Russia to ruins.

Biden is a dangerous lunatic. Next to him, Trump was a model of restraint and sagacity.

#21  There is no telling what this lying blustering bully has in his mind -- no evidence of any strategy or logical coherence to his statements.

The man is progressing down the road to senility, so he also has no idea what he will say next. To be fair, he always was a venal, lying, blustering bully, which is why he lost early in the Democratic primaries the last several times he ran for president. It’s just that this time he really was the best the Democratic Party had to offer, and they cheated in all possible ways to create what looked like a win.

The Indian establishment is right to be appalled, and they should ponder their impulse to support a political party that put forward such a candidate. President Trump may not have been a comfortable president to deal with, but he was goal-oriented, willing to negotiate, and up front about his objectives and the methods he was willing to use to achieve them.

Government Corruption
The FBI Maintains a Workspace, Including Computer Portal, Inside the Law Firm of Perkins Coie – The Ramifications are Significant
[ConservativeTreehouse] There is very little that surprises me, but this is completely stunning. An FBI whistleblower came forth to inform Rep Jim Jordan and Rep Matt Gaetz that the FBI maintains a workspace inside the law firm of Perkins Coie. {Direct Rumble Link}

In response to a letter sent by Rep. Matt Gaetz and Jim Jordan, Perkins Coie, the legal arm of the DNC and Hillary Clinton, admitted they have been operating an FBI workspace in their Washington D.C. office since 2012. Pay attention to that date, it matters.

This is a huge development. Essentially, what is being admitted in this claim is that a portal existed into FBI databases within the law firm that represents democrats. This means access to FBI database searches exists inside the office of the DNC and Clinton legal group. Think about the ramifications here.

CTH has long claimed there was some kind of direct portal link between the Clinton campaign team and the FBI databases. There were too many trails of extracted non-minimized research evidence in the hands of the Clinton team that CTH could not trace to a transferring FBI official. If Perkins Coie operated a portal in their office that allowed them to conduct search queries of American citizens, then everything would make sense. That access portal is exactly what is being claimed and admitted in this report.

The start date of 2012 is important for several reasons, not the least of which is FISA presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer criticizing the scale and scope of unlawful FBI database access going back to exactly 2012. Keep in mind a FISA-702 search, is simply an unlawful FBI warrantless electronic search of an American ("702" represents the American citizen) into the central database -maintained by the NSA- that contains all electronic data and communication.

Coal, Kettle, Black: AG Bill Barr Rips Hillary Clinton Over Russiagate, Says She is Guilty of Sedition
[GatewayPundit] Former Attorney General Bill Barr ripped Hillary Clinton over Russiagate and said she is guilty of sedition.

Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign manager Robby Mook last Friday testified that Hillary personally approved of the dissemination of the bogus Trump-Russia Alfa Bank accusations to the media.

Robert Mueller and more than a dozen Democrat lawyers were paid $35 million to harass Trump and cover it up assist with the coupe disrupt his presidency.

"I thought we were heading into a constitutional crisis. I think whatever you think of Trump, the fact is that the whole Russiagate thing was a grave injustice. It appears to be a dirty political trick that was used first to hobble him and then potentially to drive him from office," Barr said on Glenn Beck’s Blaze TV podcast, adding "I believe it is seditious."
Technically they worked with other nation's intelligence agencies so this is treason. A capital offence. Since Barr was part of the cover up he's committed treason too. Our nation is completely gone.

Apologies if this was previously covered.

No apologies necessary. We've been watching this unfold for several years now. The recent confirmation brings only sadness.

Does anyone think Hillary Clinton will ever be called to testify in front of a congressional committee, or brought to trial?

#3  Perhaps the frustration with the Jury Nullification of the Sussman farce has opened a look at the corruption of the infested DoJ/FBI and the Obama Administration. Consider that the FBI had (has?) a permanent workspace (SCIF?) with access to FBI databases INSIDE the DNC law firm Perkins-Cole since 2012!

#4  /\ American Greatness - A jury of Democrat donors in Washington D.C. on Tuesday found Michael Sussmann, a former law partner at Perkins Coie, not guilty of making a false statement to the FBI in September 2016 when he told the feds that he was not working on behalf of any client.

He noted that the FBI in 2017 had dismissed Sussmann’s allegations regarding the Trump organization’s links to Alfa Bank.

“Now we learn that for four years after that lie, Michael Sussmann was in fact operating this secure work environment,” Gaetz exclaimed.

“What reason would there be for that? And what leverage would the Perkins law firm have over the FBI given this work they’re doing together?”

Carlson was flabbergasted by the special arrangement between the FBI and the Democrat law firm.

“This is not normal, correct?” he asked Gaetz, a lawyer.

#9  My guess (and only a guess) judging from the Perkins Coie offices in Beijing, Taipei, Shanghai, and China IP Agency, was that what we have is an intelligence network.

Sussmann and Wray are witting of the network's existence, hence their reluctance to discuss.

Cleanup on Aisle 7: WH forced to clarify Biden remarks, says he won't back handgun sale ban
[NY Post] The White House said Tuesday that President Biden does not support a Canada-style ban on handgun sales in the wake of a pair of mass shootings last month — the latest example of administration members having to clear up their boss’s remarks.

"We’ll leave it up to other countries to set their policy on gun ownership," Jean-Pierre said during her regular briefing. "The president has made his position clear: The United States needs to act. As I just laid out, he supports a ban on the sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and expanded background checks to keep guns out of the — dangerous hands.

"He does not support a ban on the sale of all handguns, to answer your question," the press secretary added in response to Fox News’ Peter Doocy, who had asked: "Canada is making it impossible to buy, sell, transfer, or import handguns anywhere in that country. Would President Biden ever consider a similar restriction on handguns here?"

The White House said President Biden does not support a Canada-style ban on handgun sales.

One day earlier, Biden appeared to suggest there should be restrictions on the 9mm pistol — the most popular handgun in the US.

"They said a .22-caliber bullet will lodge in the lung, and we can probably get it out — may be able to get it and save the life," the president told reporters outside the White House on Monday after visiting the site of a mass shooting in Texas the day before. "A 9mm bullet blows the lung out of the body.

"So the idea of these high-caliber weapons is, uh, there’s simply no rational basis for it in terms of thinking about self-protection, hunting," added Biden, implying the pistol is a "high-caliber weapon" despite not being characterized as such by most gun experts.

At the same time, Biden admitted that he could not take sweeping executive action to solve gun violence, saying: "I can’t dictate this stuff. I can do the things I’ve done and any executive action I can take, I’ll continue to take. But I can’t outlaw a weapon. I can’t, you know, change the background checks. I can’t do that."

Any gun reform legislation faces a steep climb to pass in Congress — particularly in the evenly split Senate.

Last week, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Republicans are open to reforms that "directly" address the facts of the mass shooting in Texas, which authorities say was committed by 18-year-old Salvador Ramos with a legally purchased AR-15-style semi-automatic rifle.
