QUICKIE ON RUSH
You know I’ve ranted recently about Rush Limbaugh using my theory on Trump blowing up the Dems plans by releasing the transcript of the Ukraine telephone call. Well today while I was driving up to Flagler Beach for lunch, I heard Rush start waxing eloquently along the lines of my rant on the ticking clock a couple of days ago. He said that we should trust him because he figured it out and he is always right.
Now I can’t say he stole it from me because it’s quite likely others have said similar things, and unlike the previous case, I didn’t send it to him. However, it makes me wonder if he has one of his minions keeping an eye on my rants and that’s why it took him a couple of days to use it instead of ten minutes.
NATIONALS
A big shout out to the Nationals for their great game last night and hopefully they can become the first team ever to win the World Series without winning a game at home.
Now the real reason for this rant is to complain about the interference call in the seventh inning. I think it was a bad call for two reasons. First, there was no interference because Turner was stepping on the base when the ball arrived and thus couldn’t have interfered. But that brings me to my second point. I have seen many replays and guess what? In everyone of them Turner beat out the throw and was safe even if the guy on first had caught the ball. And quite frankly it looked like first baseman lost his glove and the ball because the throw was off target and pulled him away from the base and so he tried to catch the ball and simultaneously whip his glove at Turner who was already past him.
I did not hear or read anything asking how can you interfere when you beat out the throw. Nobody asked that question and while I’m certainly not an expert on MLB rules, I can’t believe nobody asked the question.
A RACE AGAINST THE CLOCK
This whole impeachment nonsense has always been about a race against the clock. Let me explain. As I’ve previously reported, Trump’s release of the Ukraine transcript blew up their plans and forced Pelosi to launch early. But this goes back much further.
From the moment that AG Barr said there was spying on the Trump campaign and he was going to investigate, the clock started ticking on the Dems. They had to do whatever they could to undermine Trump because they knew that the Obama administration had weaponized the intelligence agencies to spy on and try to destroy the Trump campaign and then presidency. And in all likelihood, there are Democratic members of the House and Senate who are themselves at risk — if for nothing else leaking than leaking classified information.
Then Barr appointed US Attorney John Durham, a nonpartisan straight shooter respected on both sides of the aisle and it was game on. When it was announced that Durham was now changing from an administrative review to a full fledged criminal investigation anal sphincters tightened all over the left. The clock was ticking louder and louder.
Schiff and Nadler went to court to enforce one of their bogus subpoenas demanding grand jury testimony from the Mueller investigation and an Obama appointed district court judge ruled in their favor but on dubious grounds that Schiff’s star chamber nonsense was actually a legitimate impeachment inquiry, and gave DOJ until the end of this month to turn over the requested documents. Undoubtedly, the Trump DOJ would appeal to the DC Court of Appeals and then if necessary to the Supremes and this would have resulted in a delay that the Dems couldn’t afford. So once again Pelosi pulled the trigger to hold a legitimate vote on Thursday to try to cure the defects in their proceedings.
Why did she rush to do this, because she knows that the IG report on the FISA abuses is supposedly coming this week and will devastatingly destroy the whole basis for the Russia hoax and the Mueller appointment.
Since Barr’s announcement of an investigation this has always been about the Dems getting out their nonsense before Durham could get out the truth. It laughingly has the Dems claiming that Trump has politicized DOJ because they are investigating the politicized intelligence agencies, including the DOJ, under Obama. This has always been about trying to get out their narrative before the truth comes out. Their only hope in 2020 is to get Trump removed because the sorry slate of candidates they have will get destroyed in the election.
So just remember when you’re trying to figure out why something is happening, it’s all about the clock ticking toward the utter exposure and destruction of the Dems narrative.
FBI 302’s
As you will recall I have previously pointed out the scam that is the FBI’s 302’s. For those of you who don’t remember or don’t know, these are documents that the FBI creates after the fact that supposedly documents what was said in an FBI interview.
I am watching Mark Steyn pointing out what bs it is and in the context of allegations that the FBI intentionally changed the 302 to frame Flynn.
People never believe utter hearsay by one side. FBI 302’s are meaningless as evidence. And in partisan cases like Flynn, they are dangerous.
NOW IT’S A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION
It just came out that the investigation of the origin of the Russian collusion origin has become a criminal investigation. That means that Durham has subpoena power, can impanel a grand jury and indict people. This is awesome. Finally the criminals on the left are potentially facing criminal charges for their actions. I’m pretty sure that Clapper and Brennan and Comey’s assholes are now so tight they may not be able to shit for a month.
HILLARY
I sam sick of hearing that Hillary is gonna enter the race. I read an article last week which explained why this won’t happen. Between now and the end of next month she would have to file with all kinds of requirements in all the early primary states some of which it’s probably too late already. The only realistic way she could become the Dem nominee would be for there to be no winner by the convention and in a brokered convention the party turns to her to rescue them. Fat chance and ditto for Michelle Obama.
P.S. I guess on second thought that I shouldn’t discount the possibility that they could retroactively change all the rules or pretend they don’t apply to her because as we all know, she is above laws and rules.
LINDSEY GRAHAM IS A FRAUD
He is introducing a resolution to call out the Dems in the House for their star chamber impeachment inquiry. Big deal. He has subpoena authority to question all the Dems and their phony whistleblowers about this entire nonsense. He could as he promised issue subpoenas to get to the bottom of the Russian collusion nonsense. He has done nothing.
I heard today that he hasn’t done anything because his bestest buddy John McCain was at the heart of pushing the whole Russian collusion nonsense and the Steele dossier.
Lindsey get off your ass and start doing your job. Issue subpoenas and expose the corruption. Don’t pat yourself on the back for putting forth meaningless resolutions. Use your authority or give it to someone who has balls.
SYRIA AND THE MIDDLE EAST
Sorry for being so lazy but I’m lazy. Anyway, the various tribes and factions in the Middle East have been fighting each other for centuries. The Turks and the Kurds have been fighting for decades if not centuries. The Sunnis and the Shiites have been fighting each other for centuries. Likewise the Jews and the Muslims. And everyone and the Israelis. If oil hadn’t been discovered there, no one would give a damn. Now that we are energy independent, there is no reason for us to be there spending blood and treasure to intervene in their centuries old disputes.
Now with respect to the Kurds, they aren’t our allies. We had a common enemy in ISIS, which wouldn’t exist except for Obama’s withdrawal from Iraq, and so we worked together to defeat a common enemy. The only real ally we have in the Middle East is Israel.
Trump was right to withdraw our troops. How many of your kids would you be willing to sacrifice to briefly postpone war between historic enemies. And please keep in mind that one Kurdish faction, the PKK, is a communist group that we and more than 20 other countries have declared to be a terrorist organization. And they are the group that Turkey is concerned about. So let’s get real, all the outraged people are either Dems who are outraged by anything Trump does or part of the military industrial complex who want constant fighting to line their pockets. After all it’s not their kids in harms way. It’s the children of the deplorables who are expendable so they can make money.
ADAM SILVER
Is it just me or does NBA Commissioner Adam Silver look like a poster child for the walking dead while pandering to China? I’d say he should be removed or censored but I’m not sure he is actually alive.
