New York’s Nursing Home Fiasco

I’m so angry about this, I can hardly see straight.

2020_05 16 new york

We’ve known from the start of the pandemic that nursing homes and long-term care facilities housed the most at-risk demographic in the most at-risk environment. I.e., people who are old and/or suffering from co-morbid conditions that make the virus especially deadly, who live indoors where the virus is much more contagious, and who share staff in close quarters where social distancing is impossible.

Yet on March 25, the “progressive, caring” Democrats who run Deep Blue New York decided that these facilities HAD to accept COVID-19 positive patients. If they refused, they would lose their state funding.

Call me cynical, but I have zero … ZERO … trouble believing that the motivation behind this evil regulation was to reduce the number of expensive old people who are too gaga to vote Democrat. I even have two pieces of solid evidence.

One: A virus-free nursing home in Queens was forced to take 2 infected patients. These individuals arrived with boxes of PPEs … and a box of 5 body bags! Within days, they had dead bodies to put in the bags. Each week thereafter, another box of 5 body bags arrived. They didn’t order them, but they did end up needing them, since more than 30 of their residents caught the virus and died. Continue reading

OBAMAGATE: [8:20] – Senior Obama officials asked to eavesdrop on senior Trump adviser Michael Flynn, then one or more of them leaked the contents to the media. They had no business doing either of those things.

Bongino Unmasks the Unmasking Scandal

The Dan Bongino Show: Ep. 1250 This Is Just The Beginning of the Spying Scandal [1:08:15] – Dan talks about what unmasking is, why it matters, how they get a hold of people’s phone calls, why this is so bad, and why hacks in the Slime Stream Media are gas-lighting.

6 minutes: Reverse targeting (using unmasking to listen in on an American citizen) is against the law and it is what was done to Michael Flynn.

9 minutes: Between November 2016 when Trump won the election and January 2017 when he took office, sixteen high level Obama administration officials requested FISA wire tap unmasking of Michael Flynn, who was on Trump’s transition team and was slated to become his National Security Adviser.

12 minutes: On January 4, 2017, the FBI was trying to close the case on Michael Flynn, because they had found “no derogatory information” about him and that “no other investigative methods are warranted.”

  • Why was Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew and United Nations Ambassador Samantha Power getting transcripts of Flynn’s phone calls with foreign leaders on Jan. 11?
  • Why did VP Biden submit an unmasking request on January 12, 2017?
  • And who ILLEGALLY leaked classified details to the Washington Post (story published January 12, 2017) from Flynn’s calls with the Russian ambassador?!

14 minutes: The media’s talking point is, “Maybe it was Biden’s office, not Biden himself.” So the man you think should be the next president is so incompetent that his staff spied on an American citizen with no legal justification and he didn’t know a thing about it? Riiiiight. Continue reading

Flynn Update

2020_05 15 Flynn domestic knife

The DOJ dropped its case against retired General Michael Flynn … but it seems that Judge Emmet Sullivan is not ready to let go. Rather than simply dismissing the case, as everyone expected him to do, he has invited outside parties to present arguments about the government’s request to dismiss the case.

In trial court proceedings involving crimes, only prosecutors and defense attorneys are permitted to be heard. Judges are supposed to render decisions based on evidence and arguments presented by the parties involved, not outside interests.

Previously in the same case, Judge Sullivan nixed the filing of amicus briefs when he knew third parties would have spoken favorably of Flynn. He said then that “[o]ptions exist for a private citizen to express his views about matters of public interest, but the Court’s docket is not an available option.”

Now he is not only allowing, but actually soliciting briefs that will be critical of Flynn. “This is a violation of the judicial oath and applicable ethical rules. We will be filing a complaint against Sullivan. … [He] is acting as a politician, not a judge.” – Michael Cernovich

ObamaGate

It’s a huge scandal, not a conspiracy theory.

2020_05 15 unmasked

This week, an article in The Federalist said, “A string of recently released documents have confirmed that the entire Russia-Trump investigation, which eventually entrapped Flynn and forced then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to recuse himself, was an unprecedented abuse of power that amounted to organized effort by the Obama administration to nullify the results of the 2016 presidential election. It was in effect an attempted coup.

If you haven’t picked that up from the news media, it’s not your fault. Instead of grappling with the implications of newly released details about what Obama officials were doing to undermine the incoming Trump administration during the transition, the mainstream media have fixated on Trump’s use of the term Obamagate, dismissing it as a conspiracy theory.” – John Daniel Davidson, The Federalist, May 13, 2020 [Emphasis mine.] Continue reading

COVID-19: [2:54]My area reopens for Phase One today. I dunno why I feel so relieved. I’ve been home bound by MCS for 30 years. Things like wearing a mask when I leave the house or open the mail are very old hat for me. Maybe it’s knowing there would be no place to go even if I was having one of my rare good days.

Who wrote the dossier?

We now know that …

  1. Mark Elias (counsel to both the Clinton campaign and to the DNC and a partner at Perkins Coie law firm) hired Fusion GPS to do opposition research on Donald Trump;
  2. Fusion GPS was paid 50/50 by the campaign and the DNC for this service; and
  3. Fusion GPS produced the so-called Trump-Russia (aka, Steele) dossier that was used by corrupt anti-Trumpers at the DOJ and FBI to try to sabotage Trump’s campaign and then, after he won, to try to take down his presidency.

All along, we’ve been told that a retired British spy, Christopher Steele, compiled the dossier from sources he had in Russia.

We now know that is not true. We also know that the sources cited, though real Russians, were just put in the dossier to lend legitimacy to the contents. They say they had nothing to do with any of it.

So who did write the dossier? And where did the information come from?

According to an article by Lee Smith that was published in Tablet on December 20, 2017, the true authors were Mary Jacoby and Glenn Simpson. Continue reading

Who commissioned the Trump-Russia dossier?

In October of 2017, both the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) claimed to be unaware that their law firm, Perkins Coie, was connected to the Trump-Russia dossier.

One of the recently declassified House Intelligence Committee transcripts shows that was not true.

On December 4, 2017, John Podesta, who had been the head of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, testified under oath before the House Intelligence Committee. During the interview, Podesta said:

  1. Mark Elias made the decision to hire Fusion GPS. Elias was counsel to both the Clinton campaign and to the DNC. He is a partner at Perkins Coie.
  2. The Clinton campaign’s manager, Robby Mook, would have been the one who gave Elias the authority to do so.
  3. The Fusion GPS’ bill was split 50/50 between the campaign and the DNC.

This is critical information, because the Trump-Steele dossier was the central and perhaps sole excuse that corrupt individuals in the FBI used to justify their multiple FISA warrants to spy (allegedly) on Carter Page.

In all likelihood, the point of these warrants was to allow Obama’s and Hillary’s people to spy first on the Trump campaign and later on the Trump White House.

Bruce and Nellie Ohr were in it up to their necks

2020_05 14 Steel Ohrs

At one time, DOJ attorney Bruce Ohr denied there was a conflict of interest between his Trump-Russia work at the DOJ and his wife Nellie’s Trump-Russia work at Fusion GPS.

But the recently released transcript of FBI agent Michael Gaeta’s testimony before the House Intelligence Committee tells a different story.

Fusion GPS is the opposition research company that produced the now-discredited Trump-Russia dossier that was attributed to Christopher Steele and allegedly based on Russian sources, but which is a total work of fiction that may have been authored by Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson and his wife, Mary Jacoby.

Michael Gaeta, Bruce Ohr, and Christopher Steele were all Russia experts who had known each other since 2010.

  • Michael Gaeta was head of the FBI’s Eurasian Organized Crime unit, which specializes in investigating criminal groups from Georgia, Russia, and Ukraine.
  • Bruce Ohr has spent most of his career at the DOJ overseeing gang and racketeering-related prosecutions, including Russian organized crime.
  • Christopher Steele ran the Russia desk at MI6 headquarters in London between 2006 and 2009. In 2009, he co-founded Orbis Business Intelligence, a London-based private intelligence firm.

ObamaGate: It’s on!

2020_05 14 obama toon

RussiaGate is now a complete dead letter — but ObamaGate is taking its place. Just how far did the then-president go to cripple his successor?” – New York Post editorial

It’s easy for me to understand why Obama would go to any lengths to destroy the Trump presidency. He was and is a thin-skinned narcissist who never, ever forgets a grudge.

I learned this way back when I first heard this story. On October 21, 2006, New York Times’ Maureen Dowd wrote a column called “Obama’s Project Runway.”

In it she says he logs “a lot of time at the gym” calls him an “intellectually nimble, preternaturally articulate smarty-pants.” Later, she says he “combines the political ability — alien to the Bush administration — to see something from your opponent’s point of view with the cool detachment of a J.F.K.”

But in the third-last paragraph, she mentions that his “ears stick out”, a trait she calls “intriguingly imperfect.

On Sunday, December 10, 2006, roughly 50 days after the article appeared, then-Senator Barack Obama sought out Dowd after a press conference and “chided her — in a kidding way” for having written that his “ears stick out.”

I just want to put you on notice,” he reportedly told her. “I was teased relentlessly when I was a kid about my big ears.”

He was a U.S. Senator for crying out loud. One might think he’d have had too much to think about to remember and be bothered about such a stupid thing. One even might think that anyone with such thin skin should not be in politics.

One would be wrong on the first count, but 100% right on the second. Continue reading
