You know how a jet fighter launches chaff to throw the enemy off the target?

I'm halfway convinced it was the **TRUMP TEAM ITSELF** in the White House sending out people to be anonymous sources spreading these "OMG Kushner is an IDIOT!" stories in the Fake News Media. Trump is a master of information warfare.

If anybody started putting 2 and 2 together and snooping around what Kushner was up to, I can totally see the White House sending people out to anonymously seed the media with stories like...this:

Hi @seanmdav.

For a guy who calls out the Fake News Media an awful lot, you sure seem to trust what they tell you when it suits you.

Somebody who **actually** listened to Wray's testimony **instead of** getting their "Cliff Notes" from the Fake News Media:

My friend @Shem_Infinite:

We already saw this movie.

Didn't we already see this movie?

I think we all already saw this movie.

The only thing **different** about how Comey won't answer the questions put to him by these Congressional commitees [other than the standard "I don't recall"] is he won't be saying:

"I can't comment on that because it's currently part of an ongoing federal investigation."

To people endlessly asking me if President Trump is aware of and taking steps to combat this whole "Color Revolution" playbook:

Yes, he is aware of it.

Yes, he is taking steps to deal with it.

No, he's not going to tell you what they are. The biggest assumption people make is because Trump hasn't **publicly rolled out** his strategy for dealing with this threat that is all over the media & we're all talking about it is because....he's blind to it.

Utter nonsense.

Yeah. Durham's wrapped.

That's why they are issuing the subpoenas now.

foxnews.com/politics/senat… I've had to endlessly explain this for going on 2 years now:

While the investigation is ongoing, you wouldn't learn anything from subpoenaing these goons because they'd do what COMEY & STRZOK & Mueller & everybody else did when they testified before Congress.

Right?

A whole lot of people get SpyGate stuff wrong because they don't know the timeline of the actual events.

So here's a handy reference you can use:

theepochtimes.com/mkt_app/infogr… Given to what's coming, I want to draw your attention to THESE two events that occurred in early March, 2016. Image

Take a few minutes and read this important @LeeSmithDC column in @tabletmag.

The Washington establishment's "China Class" has now been completely exposed. Let's all help destroy that class together! :D

tabletmag.com/sections/news/… The tag line is succinct:

"The corporate, tech, and media elites will not allow...[P]resident [Trump] to come between them and Chinese money."

I live in a red state.

Texas.

So I escape about 90% of the crap Democrat governors & mayors are right now inflicting on the people unfortunate enough to have voted them into office.

Forget everything you think you know about why you vote if you live in a blue state. You've likely been taught that your vote is a VIRTUE SIGNAL, that you are TELLING PEOPLE things about yourself, how awesome and compassionate and caring you are by who you choose to vote for.

Democrats woo you by engaging in what I call "compassion psychobabble".

The Obama bros were **wrong about everything**

They shipped billions to Iran.
They said the Iran deal was the ONLY WAY.
They said ending the Iran Deal, moving the embassy to Jerusalem, killing Soleimani, "abandoning the Kurds", EVERYTHING TRUMP WAS DOING WAS WRONG WRONG WRONG!! And you look at what happened today & what's been revealed today, that FIVE OR SIX MORE COUNTRIES in the region are in negotiations to sign their own peace treaty with Israel?

If it hadn't dawned on you yet what an ABSOLUTE DISASTER the Obama/Biden administration was?

Putin is crying into his vodka watching Trump & Netanyahu absolutely destroy his long-cherished dream of a nuclear Iran dominating the region as a Russian client state.

And morons in the US media still push the fantasy that Trump is a Putin puppet. Apparently, the Trump is a Putin stooge True Believers™ have no idea what's coming, what with 5 more Arab nations soon to sign peace treaties with Israel and form their OWN COMPETING ALLIANCE to counter Iran - and those who support Iran.

Like these two assholes. ImageImage

I see this happening.

As in Saudi Arabia, there are different factions in the royal families. Which power center the country gravitates to - US, Russia, China, Iran - depends on which faction is currently in charge.

In Saudi Arabia, you had the King Fahd/Bin Salman faction, which is pro-U.S., and the Bin Talal faction, which was pro-Russia/Iran & supported Wahhabism.

The Bin Talal faction supported terrorism & the exporting of radical jihadist ideology.

Sweet baby Jesus....

50 more days of this, people.

Of watching this PATHETIC display.

It's come to this.

It's reached the point he's literally struggling to comprehend the words he's trying to read off the teleprompter. Image

The Mafia was more subtle than this.

A lot more subtle.

You are all going to be hit with 2 main talking points for the next 50 days:

"If Trump wins, our cities will burn!"

and

"If Trump loses, he won't leave the White House!"

Remember: peace in the Middle East with an alliance between Israel & Arab League nations means those who invested in the "inevitable" Russia & China-back Iranian nuclear hegemony over the region bet on the wrong horse.

And there are SERIOUS financial consequences for that. To **counter** the Russia/China-backed Iranian nuclear influence in the region, there was **supposed** to be a GROWING US military presence.

Now that US military presence is NOT NEEDED.

People who make BANK on every 1,000 US soldiers in a hot zone are NOT HAPPY about this.

Look they’ve known for over a year the Mueller team did this phone wiping.

They waited until Durham was wrapping up the investigative phase to release the documentary evidence of it.

Durham’s investigations were THAT massive.

Durham’s massive investigation spanned agencies - DOJ, FBI, CIA, St. Dept. and countries - Italy, Australia, UK.

And now we know he was looking at both Brennan’s Fusion group and at Mueller’s team.

OK in March I wrote THIS column about how the Democrat Party & the DNC Media [sorry for repeating myself] were setting themselves up to **FAIL** at an impossible task.
uncoverdc.com/2020/03/09/the… Democrats are **stuck** trying to pretend President Donald Trump is a HIGHLY UNPOPULAR incumbent with a SHRINKING BASE while simultaneously trying to fake a HUGE GROWING GROUNDSWELL OF SUPPORT for Joe Biden.

What a sad, sorry pathetic spectacle.

Twitter staff is trying to keep President Donald Trump
from telling early absentee voters how they can CHECK to make sure their mailed-in absentee ballot is officially counted.

You sign your ballot, send it in early & on election day you go to the polling place & CHECK. ImageImage How in the hell is it a violation of "election integrity" for this President to accurately explain to voters in North Carolina how they can **check** on election day to make absolutely sure their signed and sent-in absentee ballot was officially counted?

Chaser:


Who can tell how my thread from last night is directly related to this press conference today? Remember what Barr announced on Sunday:

The **federal response** to the Antifa violence & rioting & looting is being facilitated **through** the 56 FBI Joint Terrorism Task Forces embedded within all 56 of the FBI field offices across America.

How bad was Rosenstein’s testimony for the FBI yesterday?

The DOJ supervisor of the Russia investigations testified under oath that the SpyGate plotters managed to convince him to appoint a Special Counsel & keep going with their fraud by hiding a ton of evidence from him. Senate questioners got Rosenstein to discuss at length just how much exculpatory evidence the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane team didn’t show him.

As with the FISA Court, the plot could only advance by proffering fake evidence while hiding the real evidence.

Dems are saying "Give us what we want and we'll quit being insane!"

And what they want is for Trump to be gone and everything back to the way it was before he won the 2016 election.

DeBlasio is literally saying right now "LOOK! JUST **LOOK** WHAT TRUMP IS MAKING ME DO TO YOU!" Forget the BS public polls.

The Democrats know EVEN IN THE BLUE STATES they are in deep, serious trouble.

Like Sauron's pursuit of the One Ring, all their focus, every issue must be turned to One Issue To Rule Them All: Destroy Trump.

Who can point out the chief takeaway from RR saying he let the Mueller Special Counsel Team write it's own scope memo and then he rubber-stamped it? Nobody can say Rod Rosenstein or anybody else at DOJ took **any actions whatsoever** to impede, obstruct or hinder Mueller's investigation.

And someone remind me: what did Mueller FIND after he and his crack team of bloodhounds were allowed to write their own scope memo?
