Saint Croix said...: It's mind-boggling how the CIA and FBI and other federal agencies are now working in cahoots with papers like The New York Times and The Washington Post

Last December, Michael Shellenberger reported in a #TwitterFiles thread that the Aspen Institute hosted a “Hack-and-Dump Working Group” exercise in the summer of 2020 titled, “Burisma Leak,” which predicted with uncanny accuracy an upcoming derogatory story in the New York Post about Hunter Biden’s lost laptop.

The documents Shellenberger published showed how at least five media figures, including David Sanger and David McCraw of the New York Times, Ellen Nakashima of the Washington Post, then-Daily Beast and future Rolling Stone editor Noah Schactman, and Rick Baker of CNN worked alongside Twitter and Facebook’s chief moderation officers, Yoel Roth and Nathaniel Gleicher, to plan a response to a hypothetical damaging exposé about Joe Biden’s son.

The “Burisma Leak” exercise predicted many elements of the real response to the New York Post’s coming Hunter Biden story, including complaints from influential Democratic congressman Adam Schiff about its “source and veracity,” and public statements from “former senior intelligence officials” falsely raising the specter of a “Russian operation.”

Because of the election of Donald Trump, leftist rags like the NYT and the WaPo have gone from biased reporting (because their newsrooms are overflowing with liberals) to intentional propaganda that attempts to destroy the truth.; 5/4/23, 9:14 PM
gadfly said...: I searched and searched Althouse but didn't find the guilty verdicts against the Proud Boys. But I did see TFG's opinion that a "star," like himself, is permitted to grab women by the pussy.; 5/4/23, 11:00 PM

Humperdink said...: Re: The marine is toast in the subway choking case.

Radio host Jesse Kelly has it right. You cannot defend yourself in a blue state. Get out! Move!

Did you know a Black guy was also holding the subway miscreant down? Did you hear the NY governor flatly state the guy was killed for merely riding the subway? Did you know the dead guy was arrested 44 times, the last arrest for pummeling an old lady on a park bench?; 5/5/23, 6:22 AM
Humperdink said...: Remember when Chuck Schumer (D-Lying Sack) scoffed at the notion of the government taking away your gas stoves? Good times.; 5/5/23, 7:42 AM
Lucien said...: Usually when two legislative actions conflict, the later one is given effect.
If Congress passed a debt limit, and then later passed an act authorizing particular spending, doesn’t the spending provision prevail? Pretty sure this would be an matter of first impression.; 5/5/23, 8:19 AM

BUMBLE BEE said...: Neuron deprived gadfly offers a misquote by leaving Trump's conditional preface, "They let you". Unsurprising.; 5/5/23, 9:01 AM
DINKY DAU 45 said...: The E Jean Carroll JUDGE is pretty slick. He knows the former president will come back from Scotland and claim he didnt get a chance to testify in the rape case and its a witch hunt,so the judge says Okay you got till Sunday ,a 1st when a case was closed but the judge turns around and says you got one more chance ,calling out the bluster, raise your hand if you think the perp will show up an i'll give you a tip on the 4th race at Churchill downs. Pretty slick,everyone ,except the gifted seeing thru that fellas cons.; 5/5/23, 9:19 AM
Dr Weevil said...: gadfly's 11:00am comment is deeply dishonest: Trump in fact said that a star (no quotation marks needed) like himself, is permitted to grab women by the pussy if they are willing, that is, if they permit him to. Duh! He also did not say that he availed himself of the opportunity.

He could have explained it better, but what he said is undeniably true. Billionaires, entertainment stars (Trump is both), and sports stars attract 'groupies' in large numbers, who tend to be young and attractive and will gladly have sex with them, often almost literally throwing themselves at them. These groupies are of both sexes and various sexual proclivities, the latter usually quite flexible. Straight men and gay women who are sufficiently rich, or famous, or both, will naturally attract hordes of young women, while gay men and straight women will attract hordes of young men.

There is nothing sexist or cis-supremacist about what I have just written, though it is a deeply sad reflection on human frailty that so many should be willing to abase and debase themselves before fame and money. No wonder so many want to pretend that it is not true, and that what Trump said was somehow shocking.

Putting it as crudely as he did was not in the best of taste, and not suitable for public consumption, but he didn't say it publicly, and I'm pretty sure that whoever revealed his private conversation committed a crime in doing so.; 5/5/23, 10:58 AM
Rusty said...: On an up note.
A jury in Illinois has found the four defendants in the ComEd bribery case guilty of, well, bribery. This opens the way for a guilty verdict in the Michael Madigan trial next April. It is going to be fun because you'll be able to watch the corrupt Illinois political and judicial shuck and jive in real time whether Madigan is found guilty or not.
For those of you who don't know Michael Madigan was the defacto ruler of Illinois. No democrat,( and a few republicans), got on the ballot in any influential district without his approval.
A small ray of hope in the most politically corrupt state in the country.; 5/5/23, 11:01 AM
