When Pictures Of Norwegian Operatives Surface

Who believed for a skinny minute when skeevie worm George Stephanopolous interviewed President Trump the other day the President didn’t know exactly what dirty tricks the Clinton minion was pulling?

You’ll remember little Georgie asked if the President’s campaign were contacted by a foreign entity with dirt on his opponent would he notify the FBI.  The President answered, “I think maybe you do both. I think you might want to listen. There isn’t anything wrong with listening,” the President answered. “If somebody called from a country—Norway—and said, ‘We have information on your opponent’—oh, I think I’d want to hear it.”

The President went on to say everyone does it.  This revelation set Beltway tongues wagging and Twitter filled up with renewed calls from 2020 Democrat challengers to impeach.

In February 2018, the Daily Mail published a report detailing a prank call made to Adam “Pencil Neck” Schiff by two Russian comedians.  In the audio recording, the comedians offered “compromising dirt” on President Trump including nude photos.

Schiff claimed he knew all along the call was bogus and yet his staff engaged in correspondence with what they thought was a Ukrainian politician to obtain the “classified” material promised in the call.

The Washington Examiner’s Byron York was among many who pointed out that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was involved in funding opposition research conducted by British spy Christopher Steele that relied on foreign sources.
The Senate tried passing a bill via unanimous consent on Thursday, which would force any campaign that was contacted by a foreign entity to report it to the FBI, but Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) blocked it.

Nothing Is Proven Yet

After news of an email chain between Donald Trump Jr. and a British go-between was disclosed by The New York Times, viewers on CNN were told this is the long-awaited “smoking gun” on Trump/Russia collusion.
Trump Jr. was told by a business acquaintance that a Russian lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, had information implicating Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee in illegal foreign campaign contributions from Russia.
Jonathan Turley writing for The Hill believes President Trump’s eldest son “fell for a classic bait-and-switch.  Veselnitskaya was representing people seeking to lift the adoption ban and it was certainly amateur hour in Trump Tower.  If this is the best the Russians can do as their big play, we have little to worry about.”
“It is common for foreign governments to withhold or take actions to influence elections in other countries. Information is often shared through various channels during elections from lobbyists, non-government organizations, and government officials. This includes former Clinton aide Alexandra Chalupa, who allegedly worked with Ukrainian government officials and journalists to come up with dirt on Trump and Manafort,” Turley continued.
The game the media is playing is dangerous.  It is effective.  If you keep your attention on the news of the day, it is easy to become disillusioned, disappointed and even depressed.  This is what journos want.
Donald Trump has defiled the office of the President of the United States!  He must resign!  We must impeach.  We must resist!
Charles Hurt (whom I love) opined in his piece in The Washington Times, “The Clintons would NEVER search for dirt against a political opponent.  Just ask Bernie Sanders, Vince Foster or Barack Obama.  Or Monica Lewinsky!  And if they ever did accidentally stumble upon the dirt of an opponent, the Clintons would be TOTALLY forthcoming about it when asked about it. It is the Clinton way. Just ask Ken Starr.  And, famously, President Obama would never stoop so low as to allow the world’s most powerful espionage apparatus to spy on his political opponents—except for all the times he did. In the past year. That we know about.”
The pull quote from Hurt’s piece is worth remembering from this point forward:
“This whole hyperventilating media drive-by investigation is nothing more than pure hysteria, the phantom pain from having lost everything—when you were so, so certain that you would win everything.”
The American people are wise to the game being played. Their trust in the legacy media, an arm of the DNC, has been lost and likely will never be regained.

A Time For Choosing

Listening to the talking heads this morning on Fox News Sunday, Meet The Press and Face Nation I was struck by the sheer giddiness of the liberal media soothsayers predicting a landslide win for their corrupt queen.
Ever since the exposure of the infamous “Trump Tape” on Friday, some conservatives have voiced their hysteria conceding Trump’s chances of winning the presidency may not be dead but in critical condition.  Some RINO cowards ran for the exits.
All the previous “unthinkable scandals” that Hillary’s opposition research carried out by her collaborators in the media were supposed to finish him off.  Mike Pence said it best when he declared that, “Trump was still standing.”
The hailstorm of hypocrisy that has swept across America like a shitstorm made me think long and hard about how toxic this election cycle has been.  The only October Surprise I expect to see between now and Election Day is when nothing horrific about Donald Trump is discussed in the disgustingly compliant lamestream media.
Most Americans are weary of the well-connected and politically entrenched establishment of both major parties.  The Left’s messiah even said in 2008, “She’ll [Hillary] say anything and change nothing.”
Nearly half of all voting age Americans, maybe more, genuinely believe that anyone is preferable to four years of Obama 2.0 and Bubba 3.0.
This election has devolved into a war to save us from the ruling class.  They fight dishonestly and dirty.  I don’t want a soldier in a neatly pressed dress uniform fighting to save the country from the corrupt politicians.  I want a soldier whose uni is caked in mud and blood; one who will turn over rocks to expose the vermin.  It’s an easy call.

Lascivious Gutter Politics

The National Enquirer has gotten its hands on some smut that someone somewhere hopes will destroy the presidential candidacy of Ted Cruz.  Let’s not pretend you haven’t read about it or heard it discussed on the boob tube.

Cruz is blaming Trump for the salacious story.  Trump denies it.  Some are tying the revelation to surrogates of Marco Rubio’s failed campaign.  Fingers are pointing literally everywhere.

The man at the center of this tabloid trash has characterized himself as an evangelical, a family man, courageous, conservative, consistent.  The allegation of extramarital affairs is calculated to destroy his credibility.

The headline on the front cover of the National Enquirer might as well have read, “Ted Cruz is Periodically Stricken by Pon Farr and Must Return to Vulcan to Take a Mate or Die.

Nothing has thus far been proven.  Nothing has been corroborated.  Nothing credible presented by credible journalists has emerged.

The dark art of opposition research is a perfected art form with the Clintons.  Their machine peddles hit jobs like no other.  Is it possible that Bill and Hillary’s oppo machine is behind all this?

Don’t laugh. In 2011, the founders of American Bridge, the first super PAC devoted exclusively to researching damaging information on GOP candidates, leveraged big donations from labor unions and donors such as George Soros to fund an army of campaign trackers and data miners.  

American Bridge has been credited with the destruction of Mitt Romney and Todd Akin. Its leaders have formed another super PAC called Correct the Record whose sole mission is to push the boundaries of campaign finance law by directly coordinating its research efforts with Clinton’s presidential campaign.
