George Rebane
A dear friend of more than half century who insists he is a middle-roader and considers both sides before coming to conclusions had an extremely revealing but unsurprising email exchange with me minutes ago. We had just finished watching the news, a great part of which was the coverage of Durham’s announcement and court filing last Friday concerning the Clinton Russiagate scandal. Now my friend is very well educated and seeks not to be identified as a polarized American. He is even an active member of No Labels as confirmation of his claim of being politically independent. (No Labels is patently leftwing.)
For any conservetarian and most right-leaning readers of my many years’ experience who might examine the writings and opinions of my friend, they would immediately identify him as a dyed-in-the-wool leftist cum progressive. One who is even insular along with run-of-the-mill Democrats who drastically limit themselves only to lamestream sources – all others are considered suspect political propaganda from the Right. So here is our little email exchange less than an hour ago.
George: What's your take on the latest Durham finding and court filing that came out last Friday?
Friend: Durham as in NC? I have followed that. Is it on gerrymandering or something else?
More conservative outlets such as the WSJ, FN, Washington Times, Newsmax, … have had wall-to-wall coverage of this latest revelation which in itself is much more devastating and sheds light on the illegal subterfuge in our corrupt government than Watergate ever was. And from the reports this evening on media coverage, we find that more than half of the country is totally ignorant of Durham’s latest findings and filings. (more here)
Someone out there with a keener mind than mine, please find us some hope.
As a coda to this bleeding artery, consider conservative pundits like FN’s Brit Hume sonorously informing us that with this latest finding the lamestream cannot help avoiding an ample helping of egg on their face. Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. The lamestream doesn’t give a big rat’s ass about what rightwing journalists, pundits, and commentators know or think. Their focus is on the great unwashed. As long as they know that they control what that cohort of Americans knows and believes, the rest makes no never mind. We confirm that at every election
"please find us some hope"
Optimism is cowardice.
Back in the days when the argument was about how healthcare was paid for, at what point an unborn child has legal rights, right-to-work states, power plant emissions, you could understand the various attitudes.
Fast forward twenty or so years.
In the era of normalization of crime, mobs burning down blocks of buildings, the hectoring of wrongthinkers in companies/schools/government, kneeling to ethnic groups and their domination of the public space, placing the mentally ill and gender confused in high office, the metastasizing of censorship and central control of communications, all with the plum of a President with dementia, you know you're screwed.
There's really nothing to argue about as we've moved from a minor disagreements on money to what Peter Turchin refers to as a civilization fault-line.
You might as well argue with the Golden Horde.

1. Using Steve Sailer's metric for the race/color/ethnicity of a shooter when it isn't revealed: if more wounded than killed during a shooting, the shooter was black; more killed than wounded, shooter was not black.
2. Why was this shooter even given bail? Uh, sorry, see answer to Q1.
"During the arraignment, his lawyer said Brown would undergo a psychiatric evaluation." Evidently, the one done when he went missing for 2 weeks in the summer of 2021 was done by a pre-schooler from Wash DC.

What is so amusing is irony of the lame stream coming down on Durham.
Durham did NOT hold a press conference to announce anything. The Sussman defense asked for disclosure and asked the Durham team to show their cards…Show us what you got! “Fine” says Durham and showed the defense what he has in a court filing.
It was a court filing, not a leak, not a press release, not something spouted before the camera. A friggin’ court filing, lol.
I still do not expect convictions of the Untouchables. What I praise Durham for is two things:
1) A very professional probe with NO leaks. How refreshing.
2) Durham is going what we all should praise about true ‘Justice.’ Justice does not seek convictions, ‘Justice’ seeks the truth. The truth, not notches on a prosecutor’s belt. The truth is Justice.
Durham was tasked with finding the source of the Russian Collusion Hoax. He is methodically carrying out his mandate/investigation into the roots of the Russian-Trump Collusion Hoax after Mueller spent millions finding zero collusion involving Russianand Trump.
Durham will find, as much as humanly possible and against much resistance/stalling from the so called “Justice Department”, the source of the Russian Hoax…which is leading us to Spygate.
Whether the statue of limitations runs out or not on participants, this is of little concern to me. The Truth is what I am after.

INSIDE THE BIZARRE HELLWORLD OF MINNEAPOLIS: ANDY BREHM BRINGS THE NEWS
I wrote about the riots on Lake Street in Minneapolis this past Friday night here over the weekend. The Star Tribune hasn’t reported or editorialized on the riots. Instead they have published a brief op-ed column by Andy Brehm. Andy is a corporate attorney and former press secretary to then Senator Norm Coleman. To top it off, Andy lives in St. Paul.
Andy’s column appears under the heading “Anarchy in Minneapolis goes unchallenged.” Subhead: “This crisis of criminality cannot continue to be ignored.” This must come as something of a shock to readers who get their news from the Star Tribune:
Conclusion:
“One might think that the story here would have cracked the paper’s pages and merited the attention of the paper’s editors. Indeed, the dissolution of civic order in Minneapolis merits their attention in some form every day. The city is in critical condition. The nonfeasance of the Star Tribune illustrates how a newspaper can contribute to the decline of a major American city.”

re: The Bizarre Hellworld of Minneapolis
My favorite part of those kinds of articles is the comments section. It's a convenient way to stick a thermometer up the backside of an area.
As usual, it goes like this...
. (some complaint about the Hellworld, riots, etc.)
. ORANGE MAN BAD!
. (some other on-topic complaint about Hellworld)
. BUT, TRUMP!
. (another complaint)
. TRUMP! JAN 6!
It sounds damned familiar.
The main problem with the Right (ie. normal thought patterns held by most everyone until 20 years ago) is that they spend way too much time arguing with mentally ill people, not enough building up their own soup-to-nuts institutions. Especially schools and apolitical communications and financial systems.

Even SF has had enough of this crap, next the DA -
Education, particularly its struggles with coronavirus measures and racial justice, is expected to play a prominent role in elections across the country this year. The results in San Francisco are another warning sign for Democrats.
Preliminary results showed the vote to oust each of the school board members topping 70 percent. Those who lost their seats were school board President Gabriela López and members Alison Collins and Faauuga Moliga.
The recall effort was initiated by a couple frustrated by the board’s failure to reopen schools last academic year. Even as other districts opened or developed hybrid in-person and remote systems, and as private schools in the area operated in person, San Francisco remained remote for nearly all students, who did not return until the fall.
At the same time, the board engaged in moves aimed at advancing racial equity that critics say were divisive and ill-advised, particularly for a period when schools were closed and academic and emotional damage to the city’s children was accruing. For instance, the board spent months deliberating the renaming of 44 schools after a committee found their namesakes had connections to slavery, oppression and racism, although many of the alleged ties were thin or, in some cases, historically questionable or inaccurate.

The Russia hoax must be the biggest political story of the past five years. I certainly have treated it as such. The details added by Special Counsel John Durham in his filing last week in the case of Michael Sussman add slightly to the story and to the questions surrounding it. The unnamed “tech executive” at the heart of the filing is Alex Joffe.
On Monday Joffe released a statement responding to the filing. The statement is quoted in this NBC News story on the latest developments in the Sussman case. The Wall Street Journal breaks it down in its related editorial as follows:
https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2022/02/document-this.php
Nice how Sussman pleads his case to the public while Durham let’s his filings speak for him. Wish Flynn was allowed the same courtesy to speak before and during his case, but a gag order was issued.
Obama’s DOJ sought convictions first and foremost regardless of the truth, while Durham seeks the truth first and foremost.

HILLARY’S DEFENSE
Hillary Clinton has finally commented on the latest revelations from the Durham investigation, which we summarized here. She denies the whole thing, deriding the news story as a “fake scandal” attributable to Donald Trump and Fox News. For support, she relies on a “good debunking” from–who else?–Vanity Fair.

I am surprised Hillary did not go straight to Teen Vogue or the Huff-n-Puff Post.
Posted by: Bill Tozer | 16 February 2022 at 06:10 PM
Here’s a quick quiz: How do we know the new developments in special counsel John Durham’s investigation are important?
Answer: Because the New York Times and Washington Post claim they aren’t important.
Big Media’s messengers for the Deep State are nothing if not consistent. For years they sold the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax as the greatest story ever told. And now that the entire story is being unmasked as a figment of Hillary Clinton’s presidential ambition, the same suspects insist there’s nothing to see here.
Move along, they say. And by the way, did you see what Donald Trump did today?
It is awfully late in the game to be surprised that our national press corps puts its political agenda ahead of the national interest, but the refusal to treat the Durham probe with the seriousness it deserves takes the dereliction to a new level. The refusal involves deliberate attempts to mislead the public.
Then again, the motive is obvious. Giving Durham his due would require the media to re-examine its role in perpetuating the dirtiest dirty trick in American political history.

'It used to be just another snake cult'. The gag writes itself.
I get the point of the cartoon. There's always some right-wing crime that maps to a left-wing one.

When all else fails blame the white supremacists but ignore it was the minority vote that gave them the boot with 70% of the vote -
Recalled San Francisco School-Board President Claims ‘White Supremacists’ Are to Blame for Her Loss
The recall was the product of a year-long effort to reform the board, which critics said prioritized social-justice politics over shepherding the district through the Covid-19 pandemic. Parents were concerned the board had not done enough to reopen schools and fix the district’s struggling finances during the pandemic.
The vote came after Siva Raj and Autumn Looijen, two single parents, launched a campaign to recall the board members after they refused to reopen the city’s schools last year.
Particularly frustrating to the recall’s organizers was the board’s directing its time and energy during the pandemic toward renaming 44 schools named after prominent Americans — including president Abraham Lincoln and George Washington — and considering a close to $1 million proposal to paint over an 80-year-old mural at a local school that illustrates the life of Washington, but includes outdated stereotypes.
The district’s budget deficit soared to roughly $125 million last year, and the California Department of Education sent in an expert to help the school board craft a plan to fix its finances.
A moment of infamy in the board’s history came last February when it hosted a two-hour debate over whether a gay white dad was diverse enough to join an all-female volunteer parent committee.
Collins, meanwhile, was stripped of her committee assignments and her title of vice president in March 2021 after recall organizers discovered several anti-Asian tweets she wrote in 2016 accusing the Asian-American community of not sufficiently speaking out against Donald Trump.

“The lamestream doesn’t give a big rat’s ass about what rightwing journalists, pundits, and commentators know or think. Their focus is on the great unwashed.

Reunification? We all know what reunification means. To the Leftinistas, it means The Cultural Revolution.
Here is an easy test. Instead of going down the list naming the features what a democracy looks like, list what an authoritarian country looks like. Free speech? Nay. Right to petition government for regress? Nay. Right to assemble together and peacefully protest and/or criticize government? Nay. Right to dispose of property as one sees fit? Nay. Individual rights to live as one deems best? Nay. Tossing folks in jail and keeping them there without being formerly charged on a crime? Yes! Yes, if the country is totalitarian, not a democracy. Stomach let for dissent? Nay.

Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ditched the commoners in coach and cozied up to elites in first class on an American Airlines flight, avoiding the left wing altogether for a spacious seat closer to the cockpit after a weekend of stumping for comrades in the Lone Star state, an eyewitness told The Post.

Not new stories, but more details emerge. Just two more of our fascist right wing ‘conspiracy theories’ confirmed. Or, close to being confirmed. :).

Daily Double Bonus: The Sounds of Bobbie
“that's right.. run them [teachers] out of town of a rail. Or better yet, tar and feathers. How about building a set of stocks out in the front of the school and put the offending teachers in them.. after all, all they tried to do was protect themselves from getting sick.. that's a crime in itself isn't it? Apparently parents are allowed to bully but teachers can't defend themselves from sickness.”
What a drama queen. Addicted to outrage. Worse than the Inquisition.
