“Media Got This So Wrong.” — WSJ Columnist Slams Talking Points on Ukraine Whistleblower Case

The Wall Street Journal’s Kimberley Strassel is one of the very few bright lights in journalism these days. She is one smart cookie who does a fantastic job of analysing the latest Democrat attempt to take down President Trump.

She posted a series of tweets below to analyse the case of the Ukrainian Whistleblower Complaint. It’s spot on!

Having read DOJ’s Trump-Ukraine release, here’s the real story:

This is another internal attempt to take out a president, on the basis of another non-smoking-gun.

As to call transcript itself: Trump’s actual “favor” is that Ukraine look backward, to what happened in the 2016 election. This is a legitimate ask, since election meddling looks to have come from both Russia and Ukraine.

(Indeed, this is a big enough issue that we find out this morning that U.S. Attorney John Durham is looking at what role the Ukraine played in the FBI investigation.)

It is actually Zelensky who brings up Rudy Giuliani—saying they can’t wait to “meet him.” And it is Zelensky who references “that investigation,” as he goes on to promise that “all investigations will be done openly and candidly.”

Trump says “good” and expresses worries that a “good” prosecutor was “shut down.” Mentions “Biden’s son” and that Biden bragged he “stopped the prosecution.” Ends that bit with “It sounds horrible to me.”

Trump’s several references to Giuliani are mostly to say what a great guy he is. He says he will have Giuliani and AG Barr call. He asks Zelensky to speak/work with both.

And, never mind, because: DOJ in statement says the President has not spoken to AG about investigating Biden and has not asked the AG to contact the Ukraine. Also, Barr has not communicated with Ukraine—”on this or any subject.”

Meanwhile, the IG back in August referred this to DOJ as potential violation of campaign finance law, based on whistleblower complaint. Criminal Division evaluated and determined no violation: “All relevant components of the Department agreed with this legal conclusion.”

Whistleblower? Look at this nugget, referenced in the OLC opinion. The IG’s review found “some indicia of an arguable political bias on the part of the Complainant in favor of a rival political candidate.”

Any government funds this pampered group of students play-acting as politicians receive should be immediately cut off. And OU alumni who contribute to their alma mater ought to be raising Cain about it.

If You Were the Dem Organized Crime Family and About to be Prosecuted for an Illegal Coup, What Would You Do?

Imagine that you run a political (crime) family that had spent the last 10 years breaking every corruption law on the books, even going so far as to attempt a soft coup against a duly-elected president of the United States in the process, even enlisting the help of a foreign power (Russia) to do so.

Now imagine the gig was up and there was a prosecutor (John Durham) digging into the dirty little details that you thought Hillary Clinton would keep quiet for you for a generation. Imagine that you knew the investigation would be fruitful for DOJ and that multiple indictments would be coming down pronto for prior and current officials in the US government from your party.

Now imagine there was a general election coming very soon where your party would be completely devastated, losing power for a generation or more, and even more of your organized crime activities would be exposed, and people would go to jail, for a long time.

What would you do? Why keep breaking the law, do anything you could, illegal or not, make anything up, to save your sorry little *ss.

This is what we are seeing with this concocted, orchestrated ‘incident’ by the Deep State to kick our wonderful POTUS out of office, the only man standing between them and the inside of a jail cell, the only leader who is trying valiantly to rip America away from its globalist minders that were installed during the corrupt Obama administration. The only man working to bring America back to her founding, something the globalist criminals detest and will do anything to stop.

More Video of Justin Trudeau and This is the Worst Yet

Last week, pictures and video of Justin Trudeau in blackface blew up and threatened his campaign for re-election.

There were multiple incidents. One was where he was dressed as Aladdin and made up in blackface at an “Arabian Nights” party at the private high school at which he was teaching. He reportedly was the only one to wear a costume and his face and his hands were blacked up. He was a 29 years old. The second incident was a picture from high school where he appeared in a show singing “The Banana Boat” song. He wore blackface and an afro.

The last incident was a video that Global News Canada found. But their copy was grainy and difficult to see in detail. Now another Canadian outlet, The Post Millennial, has posted a higher quality version of the video.

11-Year-Old Girl Gang Raped in Sweden — Perpetrators Walk Free and Laugh in Her Face

Swedish independent journalist Joakim Lamotte has talked to a mother whose 11-year-old daughter was raped by two men.

The girl was forced to both anal and oral sex. The young men were arrested, but released shortly after. Several times the daughter has met the boys when she walks to school. They laughed in her face.

The mother has just been informed that the investigation has been closed, and that her daughter will not be redressed.

Her daughter’s life has been destroyed, she says, and the only resort they see is to move to another town. She is strongly critical of how the police have handled the case.

At the same time, the political development in Sweden is worrying to say the least. While children are raped and the police fail to solve the cases, politicians in Stockholm cannot even form a government. The situation is acute and instead of talking to each other, the party leaders act like kindergarteners.

This is Why the Romanian Establishment is So Terrified

The Romanian High Court of Justice (Tribunalul Bucuresti) has decided to completely close my case, without even informing me about the Court’s decision, and without giving me any chance to make an appeal on time. I have sent them an Appeal Letter anyway, which will probably be rejected on grounds of being late.

As I stated before, my case was rejected because I couldn’t comply with all the ridiculous compulsory requirements imposed by the Law of Political Parties in Romania. Some of the requirements were just a matter of money, too much money for the common folk. But the bureaucratic procedure was deliberately made very complicated. Imagine if there was a public competition for the best political manifesto instead. They will never allow that to happen.

Something smelled fishy even regarding the way they dealt with my case, and the speed with which they decided to get rid of me. And they were right. Because the Political Manifesto of my party was so alien and unusual to them. The last thing a corrupt and incompetent establishment wants is a real treat to them coming from a new political party with a revolutionary Manifesto. And so, while pretending to apply the law, the institution mentioned above saw the opportunity to deny any opportunity to a very inconvenient folk.

The political party in question is called “Asociatia Crestina pentru Eliminarea Taxelor”, which translated means “The Christian Association for the Elimination of Taxes.”

And here is the Manifesto that terrifies them so much:…

“When the president of the port of Calais and the boss of the port of Dover tell you they’re 100% ready for Brexit in whatever form it comes, I suggest we listen to them and not the overpaid pen pushers in Whitehall who are not doing a neutral job”.

Syrian Muslim Brotherhood Refuses Constitutional Committee

(ANSAmed) — BEIRUT, SEPTEMBER 25 — The Syrian Muslim Brotherhood has rejected the formation of a highly anticipated Syrian constitutional committee, which UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres announced Monday after 20 months of UN-mediated negotiations between the Syrian government, the opposition, and foreign powers.

The Islamic movement, a branch of the worldwide Muslim Brotherhood founded a century ago in Egypt, enjoys popular consensus in various areas of Syria.

For decades and until the 1980s it had an important role in Syrian political dynamics.

In a statement on the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood’s Facebook page, the movement said “the heart of the problem in Syria isn’t the constitution or elections, nor having a seat in parliament, but it is that the country is governed by a repressive dictatorship based on security services, that doesn’t believe in the constitution, in human rights, in freedom and in dignity”.

About a year ago, the Muslim Brotherhood pulled out of the formation process for the constitutional committee.

Work on its creation started in the beginning of 2018 on the initiative of Russia, the Syrian government’s main ally.

The committee, which Guterres said would begin meeting in Geneva in the coming weeks, will be made up of 150 members: 50 from the government, 50 from the opposition, and 50 independents and members of civil society and local communities.

The Muslim Brotherhood said the creation of the constitutional committee “is none other than the transposition of military facts presented as political facts”, referring to the military successes of Russian, Iranian and government forces against the armed opposition.

CAIRO — The first group of 66 African refugees and asylum seekers who had been blocked in Libya arrived on Friday in Rwanda through an agreement signed between the African Union and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), said UNHCR High Commissioner Filippo Grandi.

“I want to thank President Paul Kagame, the people of Rwanda, and the government for having given hope and stability to desperate people, a great example of African solidarity,” Grandi said.

Based on the agreement, the government of Kigali said it is ready to accommodate up to 30,000 African refugees.

Do Democratic Loyalists Really Know Their Party?

Progressives are extremely good at keeping their assaults on our culture off evening news broadcasts and the front page of the New York Times. Consequently, few Democratic voters know their party supports LGBTQ ideology being taught is schools beginning in pre-k. The LGBTQ curriculum in public schools mandates that students read I Am Jazz, about a boy whose insane parents began his sex change at three years old. The Pope and pediatricians say that teaching transgender ideology is child abuse. Hellbent on making the perverted sexual behavior of less than 3% of the population mainstream, Democrats seek to make it illegal to counsel anyone troubled by their same-sex attraction.

I doubt that the average Joe Democratic voter knows his presidential candidates welcome the invasion of illegals while promising them free healthcare, along with numerous other benefits unavailable to Joe and his fellow American citizens. Do loyal Democratic voters know that Democratic sanctuary cities protect illegals who rape and murder Americans?

San Francisco is a Democrat-controlled sanctuary city. A Democratic relative’s eyes almost popped out of her head as I told her about the poop maps distributed in San Francisco to help tourists avoid the piles of human excrement left by vagrants defecating on the streets. She knew nothing about the swiftly expanding massive tent cities, rat infestation, and resurgence of old diseases due to filth. She had no idea that rather than reversing their policies which are destroying the once beautiful city by the bay, Democrats are tripling down on their insane policies.

As I stated, progressives are masters at hiding their war on all things wholesome and good. I chatted with a Christian pastor at his church’s picnic. He never heard of the Equality Act, which Democrats have already successfully passed in the house.

Roll Over, Mayor De Blasio! Finland Ahead in CultMarx Rampage — Thanks to Kritarch Mika Illman

Mayor Bill De Blasio’s New York City has just criminalized the term “illegal alien”. For where this Cultural Marxist rampage going, just look to Finland, where former Interior Minister (2011-2015) Dr. Päivi Räsänen, is currently under “police investigation” for…quoting a verse from the New Testament.

Finland’s “flip” from a nationalistic democracy like modern-day Estonia to a Politically Correct soft totalitarianism has happened at break-neck speed. Actually no fewer than three members of the Finnish parliament are currently being “investigated” for having broken the Nordic nation’s anti-free-speech laws — laws which can ultimately be traced back to the multiculturalist fanaticism of one judge: Mika Illman.
