I can’t wait for him to beat down the reporters that will be shouting out their Atlantic report BS! I truly hate the White House press corp!

All of these stories took off when “anonymous sources” became acceptable back in the 80s…it is pure crap but until journalists start pushing back against their own, it will continue. And since the hit pieces are ALWAYS directed at conservatives, the media happily turns a blind eye and repeats what they know to be lies!
Why is Strzok not in handcuffs?
Excellent question!
dufrst, Why is strzok not in leg irons?
Why is not Strzok before a Military Tribunal for his five years of knowingly participating in the execution of the coup d’etat — attempted over throw of our government — and the necessary punishment for said efforts? The entire DOJ is well aware that the coup d’etat continues to this day.
Why is Strzok not dangling off a scaffold?
Why have none of them been hung as the laws used to require? They know they will never pay the price for their crimes and we will continue too be victims of the state.
Dee,
2 Thumbs up!!!
What if, Wanna play?
What if cancers had patents, flu, covid, and their treatment? Would you be surprised? How would you view a government who did that to its citizens?
What if those pieces of paper we use as money were worthless? Would you be surprised? Go look at pictures of old money and read on them, 1930 1940 1950 bills th n read on the ‘notes’ we are handed today.
How do we recover our country?
We recovery our country, with the tenacity, ever constant never retreat.
We attack our enemies with steadfast resolve, the truth, the infinite weapon.
With patience, as our determination bears fruit, happening hourly, daily and constantly,
We overwhelm the vote.
The levers of power, have shifted toward our way of government, slowly,
Along with the criminal cabal of grifters, now standing in the light for all to see.
One by one, expose their evil and expel their ability to harm our Republic.
There are more good men than bad, it isn’t even close, we won’t lose, we can’t.
The means to this end?
Preserve the good we already have!
Good question
I hope he come out full Trumpian on this one. This is a line that shouldn’t have been crossed. We shall see. ??
I would prefer full Grenell.
yes, release it all.
I wish he had a different style of speaking but Trump doesn’t herd these press imbeciles well. While he gets results on the political arena IMHO his communication style leaves me shaking my head. I have a hard time listening and usually tune him out. Again, just MO.
Good take down of the Atlantic fluff-piece here:
https://www.redstate.com/nick-arama/2020/09/04/peter-strzok-promotes-debunked-atlantic-story-against-trump-but-gets-dropped-on-his-head-by-the-white-house/
Take note of the Strzok tweet to White House Deputy Communications Director Brian Morgenstern at the end … ouch ?
I suspect they will push the study that says we will have 4000plus covid deaths this winter.And wy is he exposing all these people to death camps.
By the way, That model is criminal.
400000 thousand.
Rasmussen poll: President Trump at 52% approval. I think it’s higher, myself.
?Rasmussen Reports highlighting our SUNDANCE on his recent article on polls?
Various polls have Trump approval from Black Americans from 25 to 47%. And Hispanics 33 to 50%. The truth is in there somewhere. So let’s advertise a contest: which ever group turns out the most for Trump wins ……
Screw their sports arenas. We should hold job fairs in voting stations. Why not turn our MAGA manufacturing plants into voting stations. And police precincts! Come and support your LEOs! Vote for law and order!
Every place frequented by normal people should have voting booths. All those businesses itching to reopen should volunteer their space. Two can play that game! Easily.
1-compliment Nancy on her hair
2-
2 was supposed to say “end of quote” – though I may have broke the internets, sorry
HA !
top item
No apologizes needed. Lack of response, or a blank stare. How appropriate. Gave me a chuckle.
Speaking of Nancy and her hair, I am looking forward to hearing of that hair salon-owner successfully suing Nancy Pelosi who – I would say – defamed the salon-owner to the entire world –
BTW , her very name Pelosi has to do with hair ! It was perhaps karma or something like fulfilling her true destiny for this to be the “root” cause of her ultimate downfall ! ?
Isn’t it funny how names are taking on such meaning?
The easy example is Trump.
I was listening to the Democrat FAKE NEWS asking SENILE Joe Biden questions. What a JOKE!!! Joe Biden already knew what the question was and Biden’s staff writes down what they want Joe Biden to answer and Joe Biden memorizes it. This is what the Democrat Party and the Corrupt Media is doing for Joe Biden all the time. When President Trump answers the reporter’s questions, he definitely doesn’t know what the question will be and the FAKE Reporters try to trick President Trump anyway they can, but President Trump is too smart for the press. That really pisses off the reporters, because the Left Bias Democrat reporters are trying to hurt President Trump as much as they can. Vote for President Donald J. Trump on November 3rd and get rid of these BIAS Left Wing Democrat reporters. We want honest reporters, not fake news.
Unbelievably stupid.
I try hard to put myself in the shoes of an LIV who wasn’t paying the slightest attention until the conventions, maybe.
Not accounting for the fact that their news sources are probably complete hackery anyway… I struggle to figure out how even someone not vested strongly in one side or the other can see this and conclude that the media has their best interests at heart in being fair.
USA Citizen: “oe Biden already knew what the question was and Biden’s staff writes down what they want Joe Biden to answer and Joe Biden memorizes it.”
And Biden STILL blows it!
we don’t want to hear or read fake news and that goes for old fake news, too!
This is a coordinated hit job. Two days ago, they were selling a phony poll that “showed” the President was behind with military voters. Now this.
Gasliight. It’s What’s For Dinner. Also Lunch. And Breakfast.
TGL
PDJT has got this
following the script from the movie “Gaslight” with Charles Boyer, Ingrid Bergman and Joseph Cotten, when Serges Bauer (the bad guy) is found out and he is tied to the chair (by Joseph Cotten) before being transported (from the attic to the paddy wagon), his wife who he had tormented – gaslighted – has a few minutes to confront him –
just like that original gaslighter, our current versions will at some point wheedle and seek to cajole –
Also, I still think he and Kayleigh should refuse to answer questions from any media brothel who cannot show evidence that they have posed a meaningful question to Biden. At the least, with every single question, start by posing what the similar question to Biden would be if they were doing their job.
Excellent idea. Kayleigh could do a side by side video of questions the media asks of Biden and how they don’t interrupt and questions the media asks of President Trump showing their rudeness and vitriol!
that would be hours of entertainment. Do you recall when Oblamer was president and the fawning media used to ask him how he is coping? other disgustingly gushing questions from these drooling fools
Great idea!
Come out, say what he has got to say, drop the mike and walk out for a great weekend.
Believe me, he knows what they’re going to ask. That’s when he lifts up the hem on their robes and shows the world their scrawny naked hindquarters! Kayleigh is a bit more circumspect (hence that bullet-proof notebook she carries), but accomplishes the same thing. Rational people would have long ago given up on crossing swords with those two, but…….
I’ve gotten to the point where I think I like seeing Kayleigh deal with the media heathens even more than President Trump. Clearly, Trump has been advised to have incident-free Q&A sessions with these scum as we are approaching November, whereas Kayleigh seems to have more free reign — as well as incredible preparation — to surgically rip them apart (politely, with a smile, of course).
“scrawny naked hindquarters! ”
?
I listened to that dopey interview with Obiden while driving home from the grocery store. OH my, Obiden is such a doofus. Why would he even answer a question about a fake statement? How dopey is this guy. I am embarrassed for the silly liberals. If they cheat like crazy and this loon “wins”
well…… start prepping people. Obiden is a demented old fart. My daddy is 97 and is clearer of mind than this doddering fool
So… I understand your frustration, but not sure why you would even ask that question. Why WOULDN’T he answer a question about a fake statement?
Lobbing the softball to him so he can read the script about Trump’s “soul” is the POINT of the story to begin with. Then they run the responses and whatever screeching they will do at Trump today on the nightly news, see if they can leach a couple votes away, and then drop it and repeat with something new tomorrow.
Put your self in the shoes of an LIV who is barely paying attention. In order to suspect its a “fake statement,” they have to be paying attention to something other than the first 10 minutes of the nightly news.
and paying that much attention is WHY they are LIV’s.
it just proves what a dope he is.
I cannot tolerate listening to him. I am telling you, my daddy is more coherent that dopey Joe
It’s creepy how Joe tries to leech sympathy votes off his son Beau’s untimely death. Now he’s trying to milk Beau’s military service.
Joe had a lot more to do with Hunter’s military career. He got Hunter a naval commission he didn’t deserve, then a plum posting he didn’t earn. When Hunter blew all that off to snort coke with strippers, Joe kept him from getting a courts martial, which he did deserve. Because Joe respects the military, you see.
yes, I heard that too. What a pile of baloney, Did Obiden serve? Where was he???
He commanded the good ship Lollipop!

2014’s “Fake but accurate” is now 2020’s” Fake but resonates.”
I think their goal with all of this is to try to pull the moderate republicans away, and get them to vote for Biden. I guess that’s why Ann Romney is partnering with Michelle by belle for a love fest. They’re moderate hunting, and trying to pull them to Biden.
This could also be aimed at the blue collar Democrats (the oild Reagan Democrats) who voted for Trump in 2016. A lot of active military and vets in those families, but also a lot of common sense and skepticism of the MSM.
That’s why they voted Trump/Pence in 2016, skepticism & common sense.
They’re even smarter now.
Mayor Pete literally just said during an interview, “Do you want to be a McCain Republican (and vote for Biden) or a Trump Republican? They are clueless as to the disdain most Republicans have for McCain.
They know absolutely nothing about the Trump voter.
True. But you could have also left off “about the Trump voter” and been equally accurate…..
They don’t know Trump either, sadly. He has done so much for this country in 4 short years.
And have no interest in finding out about the PT voters either. We’re deplorable to these people.
Never go Full-Manchurian.
According to https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/us-population/ US population is 331,357,585 (at this time). President Trump says he has $330 million on hand to give to the American people, why can’t every adult be given $1 million? That would be less than $330 million. Is my math wrong or am I reading the US population wrong? I do see my numbers backwards so I have to really study them and try to see them one at a time so I may be wrong here.
No your math is off, it would be like $1 for each American
ok, thanks. I can do a lot of stuff but it has never been math. I blame it on seeing my numbers backwards but I think it’s because I just never have gotten math. Giving everyone a million$ didn’t sound right I just needed some help seeing it.
Sherryoftexas,
If it’s 300 million dollars would be about 99.6 cents per person.
If it is 300 billion would be about 905.37 per person.
Ninja, Thank you, I just needed some help seeing it.
331,357,585÷333,000,000=.995~
Everyone would get less than a dollar.
J, thanks, I just needed some help seeing it.
Pres. Trump said $300 billion, not million. That would be a little less than $1,000 for each American.
sherry – are you channeling AOC now?? (ha ha)
Sorry Sherry, it was Bryan Williams on MSNBC –

What’s up with Jonathan Snarl’s question about John McStain? will he be brought back from Hell to campaign for Biden? Something is up because I was on a rag out of Austin with an audience of 20 and a troll brought up Johnny…that he was a great man. Suspicious cat!
petszmom, maybe trying to lower the military vote because mcstain was military? The military wasn’t a fan of his anyway so if that is the dem plan it is as stupid as running biden for prez
I would believe such a stupid plan. And every Democrat I know is lo-fo and low i.q. so it will be a big fail.
My uncle was USMC from Korea through Vietnam and served a total of 37 years between active and reserve duty… He despised John McCain and that feeling was shared by many of his fellow Marine Corps Buddies!
If the RINOs think that trotting out Songbird is going to pull people away from Donald Trump and towards Joe Biden, they are more delusional than I thought!
You reminded me – our commie groveller is timed out, so he’s aiming for Steve Daines’ Senate seat. Daines camp is now running an ad about how Hanoi Jane is one of Bullock’s big donors and supporters. OUCH!
My brother-in-law was in the same Squadron as McCain. McCain was a fragging candidate before he was shot down. Being shot down and rescued by the enemy saved McCain’s life in the opinion of those who knew a different McCain story.
I was told McCain was not supposed to be where he was when he did get shot down. The guy was a loose cannon and I was told this way before I ever knew who in the hell was “John McCain”. It was one of those “We have this screw-ball in our squadron who is going to get one of us killed” type of deals.
I have heard variations of this story many times over the years… John McCain was a legend in his own mind but was far more well known for his incompetence and nasty disposition!
My Dad (27 yrs in the Navy) was stationed at Little Creek when mccain’s father was Commander. He had nothing nice to say about either of them. Commander was constantly covering for the son and there was NO respect for the son.
Most viet vets I know don’t like democrats. They didn’t like LBJ, they didn’t appreciate the draft. They hate the Cia for creating the justification for the war and their constant efforts to enlarge it (laos, cambodia).
Wouldn’t be surprised if there a recording of something waiting for spinning
Maybe they will use Trump’s sister’s voice again. ?
TMonoroe,
The “Songbird Records” ?
Wonder if they pressed out some vinyl copies??
Am sure that they are in some archives
Remember that for many voters who came of age in the past decade, McVain is barely a faint memory, if that. The Biden MSM team is trying to claim him as their own (they can have him) and re-write history, as usual.
I wonder if more info might be coming out about McCain and his
role in the dossier,, so they are trying to make it look like POTUS
and his administration are smearing McCain.
The press is absolutely disgusting:
Question For Joe Biden:
What is your favorite ice cream flavor?
Question for PDJT:
Why have you killed 150,000 people by your Covid response?
??♀️??♀️??♀️??♀️??♀️??♀️
Not one question about antifa.
The President should hand out cards for the press to ask questions from– put one card in each seat. Demonstrate the absurdity of Biden.
Folks, the MSM, Democraps, and allied academics are working to steal the election while claiming they are trying to prevent Trump from doing so. As usual, the left accuses others of exactly what they are doing and spews endless propaganda about it. Check out the mis-named “Transition Integrity Project” which is all about undermining the US Constitution, the Electoral College, and our traditions of having “Election Night” results. They openly claim that it is battle at many levels from now until JANUARY 20. They are not going to allow Trump to be recognized as any legitimate winner if they can possibly cloud the issue. Kinda like the past 4 years only worse.
Check out the links with the (Soros) Open Society Foundation, etc. Rosa Brooks and other left-wing academic nutjobs tied to Soros.

“P.S. Learn to code.”
Compared to the battles Trump has with the press, the press absolutely does ask children’s questions of Biden. It’s disgraceful and disgusting to witness this partisanship.

PaulCohen,
Imagining the splodey heads from all the FAKE Media.
So now they will not cover the “Mostly Peaceful Protests”??
Could be interesting to see what the FAKE NEWS coverage will be.
He never gives himself enough credit
I would add this loser…
early stages of AIDS?
The four “unnamed sources” were Mattis, Kelly, and the two VIndemen brothers. lol!
Eaglemon,
I wouldn’t bet against you on those names.
Just Saying
Okay Barr-zini, please send undercover agents to the places where they are mourning the shooter. Make sure they attend his funeral. You might have one give a rousing speech to gain the trust of the leaders. All the while , collecting intel from the attendees. Try and find out who paid for the funeral and any money that was given to his kids.
Please do not rest on your laurels beating up on a minor leaguer like Wolf Blitzer. Every time you play in the” Bigly” (Soros) you get your a$$ kicked.
whiny churnalist says to Richard Grenell, “I don’t think any of us came here to listen to a lecture….”
Grenell was on fire, but I wish he had also said, “As long as you churnalists are so incompetent you need more lectures!”
That was a beat down. And all the guy could come up with us “I don’t think any of us came here for a lecture”? The “waaaaaaa” was silent.
Bwaaaaa hahahahaha hahahahaha!
Heh.
Giggle
Snicker……..
Nice of Rick to enlighten them on how important they aren’t outside the beltway.
“I don’t think any of us came here for a lecture”
Most azzhoes who deserve and often get a “lecture” never intended to get or even think they need one. That’s precisely why they’re azzhoes.
Brett Bier on FNC is pushing the “losers” story from France. I think the Deep State has put the word out that the Atlantic story it is the best they have for something to tick to PDJT.
STICK not tick!
It is a b.s. story. No one believes their crap anymore. Who are the unnamed senior officials??? Go on the record. They are cowards.
Seriously, THIS is their big play? I mean really? When has the “anonymous sources” BS ever worked against Trump? They really are in a bubble. Only die hard Dems care about the “Johhny says that Suzie said that George said he doesn’t like you” nonsense. We are not 8 year olds.
H&HC
Deep State has put the word out that the Atlantic story it is the best they have for something to stick to PDJT.
Looks that way. Someone should bring up the difference in the VA between now and when demented joe & barry were running things.
I can’t say anything detrimental about the VA, although I’ve head some nasty stories. I only started using their services when I got into my mid 70s and haven’t had any problems.
HEARD dammit – not head some stories. Damn arthritis…………..
Expect more of these “anonymously sourced” smears from now until election day. The goal will be to flip enough independents, moderate Republicans, and blue collar Democrats to bring Biden within the margin of voter fraud.
Dems and their MSM lackeys will hope to put Trump on the defensive so much that senile Joe will be the lesser of two evils: “OK, Biden can be a little vague at times, but at least he didn’t [fill in the blank with the latest fake scandal] like Trump.”
They almost certainly have 20 or so of these lined up. The moment they get into one of those Nancy salon moment, they will just crap out the next one. Its not like they require any vetting or editing.
4Chan interesting discussion I saw today that the Atlantic article had 14 edits by the HTML code in relatively short order. Indication would be they were not really ready to release the hit piece, but were forced to do so to stop the Nancy bleeding.
And some group had an ad going the next AM about “my son is not a loser” – so we are to believe that in less than 24 hours, they filmed, edited, and released a commercial about the issue that a totally neutral press put out…. Riiiight….
There was also a story today that the Department of Defense was discontinuing “Stars & Stripes” which, IIRC, has been published since the Civil War.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, Trump just tweeted, “Not on my watch.”
The President said the press questions asked to Joe Biden “are for a child”. Not for a grown up.
BOOM
like Grenell said “Nobody listens to the media now” Matter of fact I’m starting to think this is ALL backfiring. The people see a POTUS who is busting his butt EVERY day for them and ALL the media does is try to trap him up and lie about him!!!
It’s the classic “underdog” theory.
Common sense is if the POTUS hates the military why did he work so hard to rebuild it and Make the Veterans Great Again
Maybe someone could get that sweet, denure little doll AKA Chanel Rion to ask PDJT in a presser if he ever made the police and Military go behind the busses and hide like a certain southern grifter did during campaign stops? Or ask if the military had the bolts removed from their rifles during the inauguration parades?
I’d bet we could the media howls with all the mics turned off!
Bet we could HEAR the media. Why do I proofread after I post?
Trump blowtorches the MSM: The questions from the media for Joe Biden are “meant for a child”
Everyone, from Rush to the shills on Fox, were criticizing Biden’s press conference, but no one tells it quite like President Trump.
Combined with the Grenell grilling, make this a new issue, too.
Its actually perfect timing as the LIV’s start to tune in: remind them what useless hacks the press are. Remind them that the first thing they should do is not believe ANY of it until some level of third party corroboration.
Gallup poll finds 84% of Americans say media to blame for US political divide ?
August 4, 2020
https://www.foxnews.com/media/gallup-poll-media-distrust-us-political-divide
Unfortunately liberals like my mother would agree, but thinks exactly opposite — they don’t think the problem lies with CNN, MSNBC, and other MSM; instead it’s Fox News – Hannity, Tucker Carlson, and especially Rush Limbaugh. They see Faux News and Conservative hosts as the dividers, perverting the truth and brainwashing conservatives.
President Trump could have more forcefully pushed back on the question about that B.S. study predicting 400K deaths by January. We all know its a crap model, and that a similar dire prediction back in late spring fell way short of the doomsday predictions over the summer.
But Trump just fell back on his familiar refrain about stopping flights in from China before anybody else, which 1) we’ve heard a thousand times by now, and 2) which doesn’t really do anything to deflate the idiocy of the question.
Frankly, this was one case where I’d have rather had Kayleigh up there answering the question, because I think she’d have been prepared and armed to the gills with data of several previous B.S. models whose predictions were way off.
I’m furious!!!
Those Mclain lover liberals are beyond STU PID !!!
He is no lover of Mcain because he was not a hero.
HE KILLED 164 of OUR soldiers…and INJURED 224 !!! But the
political powers snuffed it from the news.
In 1961 the aircraft carrier MCAIN NEARLY SUNK
THE SHIP HE was on was exploded by
gasoline which poured below deck from a huge refuel tank.
Some of the guys were blown completely off the air strip.
I had a photo of the ship nearly burned out. I had a friend
on that ship that verified that Mcain was trying to “show off”
a “dry start” and lost control of his plane which shot
flames out the backend hitting the fuel refuel tank which then
burst into flames as flames and gas spewed all over the deck
burning and exploding several airplanes….and burning below
deck with men sleeping.
The enemy laughed saying Mcain was THEIR best defence!!
He was not a hero…. he was a first class jackass…. and had
the military not taken him from the ship by helicopter….
the shipmate survivors probably would have ki!!ed him.
He nearly sunk an expensive aircraft carrier, sevearal
planes….and I agree with Donald J. Trump…..Mcain
WAS NO HERO.
But dumb butts in the millitary admired that puke….
and they hid the story because as we know…all
news is Democrat run… and too many dems
in the military were dems at that time.
Mcain was a prisoner of war….. no….he sang
like a canary and lived in the Hanoi Hilton. He made it famous.
So…..I have known this since 1961….longer than
I have known anything of PT.
Don’t believe everything you hear….without question.
Yeeesh! Heed your own admonition.
What? Was the millitary not fond of Mcstain?
Sorry writing so late….. not my best. haha
Sorry… the year was1967, the USS Forrestal.
There was a bomb that went off hitting a Lt. in the
plane behind Mcain. The Lt. was burned to death
But it was Mcain jacking around that caused the bomb
to shake loose. Nobody tells the truth, of course,
Mcain isn’t going to take the blame. But lots of people
know.
It has been a long time so trying to remember dates
are not my strong points.
Was trying to NOT slap at you, but most of what you posted is wrong. McStain did NOT start the fire on the Forrestal! He was NOT trying a “wet (not dry) start”! I believe the investigators determined that an electrical malfunction caused a piece of ordnance to get loose, which led to the fire. You can find video on the web showing him scrambling down the nose of his plane – it was not ‘running’. I’ll agree it was a disaster, but I’ve been on a carrier during flight ops, and it is “controlled pandemonium” at best. Accidents happen!
McStain was a screw-up of the highest rank – already known as a ‘Black Ace’ by the time he got to the ship. I believe he had four wrecked planes under his belt by then, but Daddy WAS an Admiral…
I was in the USMC in ’61, and I doubt if anyone except maybe his Annapolis classmates and flight school mates had even heard of him then. (I believe he got 3 of his “Black Aces” in training!!!)
What got him in trouble with most everybody was ‘Hot-dogging’ constantly. He had completed his bombing run over NVN, but then circled back to take pictures instead of returning home. That’s when he got hit, and eventually captured.
The “Hanoi Hilton” was NOT a hotel! It was the sardonic name the POWs gave the prison camp there. Complete with hot and cold running torture chambers. It was there the name ‘Songbird’ was attached to him. He apparently would tell his captors whatever they wanted to know to save his own worthless hide.
Many, including me, took an intense disliking to him after he came back and divorced the wife (who was badly injured in a car wreck while he was gone) who had waited for him to come home, and married a beer baron’s daughter. That gave him the money to run for the Senate as a “war hero”! (spit!) He was the only senator who could go up against dirty Harry Reid for the title of “Rottenest senator ever”!
Didn’t intend to write a novel, LOL! Just wanted to clear up some myths….
Thank you for the info. I was trying to remember what I was told
as to what happened. I wasn’t there. Details are fuzzy. But
my friend was blown off the ship. Amazing to have survived that.
My blood pressure goes up every time someone says he was
our HERO. There were 300 innocent soldiers whom he ki!!ed or
injured needlessly.
Thank you for your service !! ?
owl…..
Question… if Mcstain was not responsible for the fire, explosions etc,,
then wonder why they would have removed him by helicopter
from the USS Forrestal to another ship ? Why not
leave him there to finish his tour?
Those investgators are probably the same ones who
Investigated the Las Vegas massacre. And blamed the
dead Paddock for 15 terrorists shooting on the tarmac.
I have absolutely no faith in truthful investigations anymore.
My suspician is that Daddy was getting him out of the spotlight. He knew what a screw-up he was.
I don’t usuaily be this direct, but your statements about the U.S.S. Forrestal fire are lunacy.
I think McCain was a dirtbag and damaged this country during his time in Washington. He was an egotistical disgrace.
But a systems failure in another jet across the deck from McCain’s Skyhawk caused a short in the arming system of a Zuni missile, which misfired due to negligence of a sailor who armed the missile too early.
Even if McCain HAD done a “wet start,” his exhaust was pointed over the open ocean on the far side of the carrier and could never have affected his squadron mate’s plane.
The official Navy report, and also a couple very detailed books on the tragedy, are incontrovertable.
I have seen the Forrestal/McCain lie since he was running for president, and I call it out every time I see it. It was an Obama-based smear and I hate to see it on CTH. This site is valuable as a credible information source.
And, again, McCain’s Washington career was an utter disgrace, but he had nothing to do with the Forrestal fire.
We are now into Labor Day Weekend…. < 60 days until the election…. it is difficult to believe any great things will happen on the justice front anytime soon….. we have tried to keep hope alive but d— it is difficult to think the many Spygate/Russiagate miscreants are going to face real justice.
p.s. More evident than ever that Q/Qanon is such lunatic fantasy b.s., as was obvious from the start. What's true in the Q-stream is not unique to or originating from the hoax Q-team (just links and info scooped up around the internet). What is unique to the Q-stream is a mix of speculation, fantasy, guesswork, wishful thinking, and/or hallucination.
Another way to put it: what's new with Q is not true, and what's true in Q is not new.
Well, if nothing happens this weekend I hope AG Barr, Durham and Aldenberg get a good bout of the Tennessee Two-Step from spoiled macaroni salad and contaminated hot dogs at their Labor Day picnic……………
“Critical Race Theory” will no longer be “taught” or “trained” in any Federal Agency, per POTUS.

No more tax dollars for divisive, race based, propaganda. Another reason to re-elect PDJT.
Great news!
Cowboy…
That is a start …. but I wish he had taken it a little
farther and included socialst propaganda, BLM, Muslim,
antifa, Sexual or any other propaganda that goes against the
Constitution or Bill of Rights…..and lying has major consequences.
Biden had better start backpedaling, because this thing is gonna blow sky-high, and PDJT will justifiably demand an apology from him. Biden went gone beyond an initial “if it is true” almost immediately, to speaking of it as if it is proven, without even making some phony “I can’t believe Trump would say that” excuses.
