Scandal Watch

Captain Ed Morrissey keeps a weather eye on a couple of scandals the media would rather bury.

First, the Durham indictment of Clinton attorney Sussman may - I say MAY - be the start of something from Durham, finally. The notion that the Russian Collusion scandal was launched as a Hillary dirty trick and carried by sympathizers in the FBI, CIA and mass media is not a story the mass media has been eager to probe.

We all spent a lot of time waiting for Durham. Maybe he has more.

And, in other non-surprises, a Politico reporter is confirming the obvious - the Hunter Biden e-mails financially implicating "the big guy" look legit. Yet another "not in front of the kids" moment of infamy for the media, bith social and mainstream.

I am hoping that the Democrat infighting rises to the level oof civil war. It sure is looking that way. Manchin's offer was a face saving gesture to Biden, but I don't think Biden is smart enough to take it.

Milley now has the mark of Cain on his forehead so anything he says or does is forever tainted. Same with Austin. Mayorkas was quoted today as saying he has no idea where any of the 1.5 million+ refugees are while someone is flying them around the country.

The MSM are ignoring most of this and focusing on Zuckerberg, Google and the proper pronouns for pansexuals.

Durham needs to move the case out of DC if at all possible. The entire city jury pool is tainted with the exception of Clarice and spouse. It's almost like Sodom, which seems to have been hit with one of God's split finger fast balls according to the latest news from the archaeologists.

[MissMarple2]

Ignatz,

How sadly true. I know I annoy some people by posting theories and articles that seem a little bit off the wall, but it has gotten to the point that almost any weird conspiracy seems plausible at first.

Alex Jones, famous for his wild rhetoric and weird statements, has proven to have been right on a number of occasions. He was the one who first suggested that they were making animal-human hybrids, and now we find aborted baby scalps were indeed being grafted onto lab rats.

The corona virus was indeed developed at the Wuhan lab. Fauci seems to have been doing his best to restrict the movement of citizens and confuse the public, so that an excuse could be provided for mail in ballots. Cuomo did murder at least 15,000 elderly people by placing Corona virus patients in nursing homes, all while claiming royalties for his fraudulent Pulitzer Prize book (more likely bribes) in order to inflate deaths and look more competent than Trump.

As far as Trump, maybe he did make some staffing errors, but how was he to KNOW that Sessions would recuse himself over anything to do with the Russia investigation? Why has no one ever mentioned that Elaine Chou's sister runs that big Chinese-based shipping company, except for some bloggers and You Tube people?

Who recommended Mattis? Condoleeza Rice recommended the first Secretary of State, the oil guy who proved to be useless and was replaced by Pompeo. What was John Bolton doing and why is he so desperately critical of Trump now? And VP Pence was more interested in portraying himself as a Christian conservative than actually doing anything useful.

We were damn lucky to have Trump, who actually stepped forward to do his best to improve things and stand up for the average American. I can think of no other person who could have stood up to the onslaught from the media, press, Hollywood,social media, academia, and China and Iran.

China keeps virus at bay at high cost ahead of Olympics

"Authorities on Sept. 12 suspended most access to Putian, a city of 2.9 million people in Fujian province, after an outbreak that an official newspaper, Global Times, said might have begun with a resident who returned from Singapore....The Global Times said a man who returned from Singapore on Aug. 4 was suspected of spreading the virus to Putian.

The traveler, identified by the surname Lin, underwent a 14-day quarantine and nine nucleic acid and serologic tests, all of which were negative, the Global Times said. But he tested positive on Sept. 10."

Maybe it had nothing to do with Singapore?

Maybe I just don't understand Chinese math. The guy tests positive three weeks after a two week quarantine?

The FBI’s Incurable Rot: The bureau is an institution with no shame, no remorse, and no accountability. There’s no fix for that. By Julie Kelly, September 20, 2021

"...“This conduct by these FBI agents . . . who are expected to protect the public is unacceptable, disgusting, and shameful,” Maggie Nichols, the gymnast who first reported Nassar’s crimes to the FBI, told the committee.

Her description, however, applies to the entire FBI—an institution with no shame, no remorse, and no accountability. There’s no fix for that."

Why doesn’t Ted Cruz do for Israel what Harry Dexter White did for the Soviet Union after WWII: ship them United States Treasury plates so they can just print off whatever money they need.

The Soviets only inflated our currency by about $250,000,000 as far as they can tell. Of course, we gave them at least $5 trillion in goods (George Raney Jordan). Seeing as how Israel is practically a Russian colony, maybe it’s about time they start kicking in. Or maybe Israel can replenish it’s Iron Dome missiles from money they received selling our secrets and technology to China.

I’m just workshopping here.

No one is healing. Nothing is healed. The wound Donald Trump ripped open has done nothing but fester since Scranton Joe was inaugurated.

Eight months since President Biden was sworn into office, the anticipation of a tone change and ‘return to normalcy’ has utterly disappeared. The man I once considered a friend and confidante has morphed into a feckless and unreliable leader I no longer recognize. He gives all the signs of stubborn cantankerous naiveté, surrounded by idiotic sycophants anyone who has spent more than fifteen minutes around politics should easily recognize as the worst type of corrupt bureaucrats.

Biden’s policies have broken with his rhetoric of unity to create more division and distrust. Inflation has exploded. Americans are paying more at the pump and the grocery and soon for their kids’ holiday toys. The schools are supposed to be reopened, but in-person learning is inconsistent and can be pulled away with the speed of a positive test. The vaccine booster shots, which Biden promised at the beginning of the month, ran into a brick wall of FDA policy. New government mandates are testing the limits of executive power.

The man who promised he would shut down the virus, not the country, is doing the opposite.

The globalist ruling class uses the various leeches and saps they promote as modern day stakeholders in exactly the same way. And they're even more dastardly and conniving because at least Snidely Whiplash didn't pretend what he was doing was for Dudley Do-Right or Nel's own good.
