The good news is that most of us are headed back to work. Unfortunately, we’ve seen too many new things during quarantine to be sure about our new “normal”. We’ve seen citizens and politicians behave horribly. The new normal isn’t about wearing a surgical mask in public. I’m worried that our new normal is about accepting political domination.
Maybe we should accept social distancing for a few more months, but maybe not. A friend corrected me and said,
“Been there and had that. Now, I can’t get it and can’t spread it, so leave me the hell alone.”
My friend is correct. Social-distancing rules should not apply to him, as they should not apply to more and more of us each day. Is wearing a mask and social distancing something we do to appease paranoid people who are afraid of germs and want to control us with their fear? That isn’t healthy. Someone who suffers from mysophobia doesn’t need me to wear a mask; they need to see a psychiatrist. Crazy shouldn’t be the new normal.
I hope the new normal isn’t snitching on other families because they don’t cower in their homes. I hope the new normal isn’t making allegations against competing businesses or your employer. Sadly, we’ve seen the police shut down business at any time and for any reason while taking the owner’s business license. Where quarantine was once an excuse, it won’t be long until political payoffs become the underlying reason.
Been there. Seen that.
We’ve seen agents from Child Protective Services exceed their authority even before the outbreak of coronavirus. Now, CPS can take away your kids because you’re not schooling them “properly” or not wearing a mask and washing hands with the frequency the bureaucrat likes. Are you wealthy enough to protect your family from the state?
In case you think I’m joking, remember that a Texas judge put a business owner in jail because she wouldn’t say she was sorry for opening her business and putting her unemployed hairdressers back to work. Beyond a fine, the salon owner got seven days in jail because she wouldn’t bend a knee to the cops and judges.
I suspect that the judge’s behavior strikes you as tyrannical. The reason I think I’m not alone in being disgusted by the sentence is that the Go-Fund-Me account to pay the business owner’s 7-thousand dollar fine had 140 thousand dollars in donations. That says a lot of us don’t like that “new normal”. After she pays her employees, maybe the salon owner should use the extra money to run for public office.
The real casualty of the quarantine is in our diminished level of trust in public institutions.
After what we’ve seen, we can’t trust our politicians to be reasonable. We can’t trust police to show discretion, not after they arrested a state highway patrol officer for going to an empty park with his daughter. We saw police issue tickets after a husband and wife sat next to each other in public, or went on an “unnecessary” trip to get out of the house. We saw the police activate the beach patrol and motor boats to stop someone from swimming alone in the ocean.
That cure is worse than the disease. These public officials broke the public trust. They showed themselves to be bullies at best, and tyrants at worst.
You might say ‘we have to isolate to stay safe,’ to which I say ‘no.’ No, we don’t. We have to limit our social contacts only enough so our hospitals are not overwhelmed.. and not one bit more.
Any location where the respiratory treatment center in the hospital isn’t overloaded
has no justification for imposing a quarantine on healthy people. None.
There is no excuse for it. Some politicians, police chiefs, sheriffs and LEOs are hiding their lust for power behind a surgeon’s mask.
We can see them for what they are.

clashdaily--2020-05-08--Ahmaud Arbery: Before Rushing To Any Judgment, Let’s Review The Known Facts

“ And he ’ s running right now , ” the man told the dispatcher .
“ There he goes right now !
” Also from The Times : Mr. Barnhill also wrote that he did not believe there was evidence of a crime , noting that Gregory McMichael and his son had been legally carrying their weapons under Georgia law .
And because Mr. Arbery was a “ burglary suspect , ” the pursuers , who had “ solid firsthand probable cause , ” were justified in chasing him under the state ’ s citizen ’ s arrest law @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Restrictions On Churches Saying That They May Not Open Up For A Year Or More In a separate document , Mr. Barnhill stated that video exists of Mr. Arbery “ burglarizing a home immediately preceding the chase and confrontation.
” In the letter to the police , he cites a separate video of the shooting filmed by a third pursuer .
Already there ’ s no end to the voices crying out that the McMichael men acted too aggressively , while others argue that the law is on their side .
I ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ right now , but I do not believe it ’ s a case of murder at all .
Manslaughter , maybe… .

On February 23rd of this year, just three days shy of the eighth anniversary of a somewhat similar incident not too far away in Sanford, Florida, a young black man in Georgia grabbed for the legally-carried gun of a citizen who suspected him of being a fleeing burglar, and was immediately shot dead in the process.
This time, there’s video.
Previous official investigation of the incident, before controversy escalated and the video was made public, determined that the struggle over the gun in the attempt of a legitimate citizen’s arrest made it a case of justified self-defense. Now, however, a new prosecutor will submit the case to a grand jury, seeking charges.
In true Democrat campaign race-agitation form, presidential candidate Joe Biden has already declared it a murder, saying 25-year old Ahmoud Arbery was “killed in cold blood.”
Cell phone video which captured the incident shows part of the brief struggle over the gun when two white men got out of a pick-up truck to confront Ahmaud Arbery, after they pursued him as he ran along the road.
Mainstream headlines are mostly repeating, as if it’s an established fact, the claim by Arbery’s family & friends that Ahmaud was just innocently “out jogging,” which may or may not be true; we don’t really know at this point.
What is known to be true is that the now-deceased 25-year-old had a history of criminal convictions, including gun crime, shoplifting, several counts of obstructing a law enforcement officer, and violating probation, according to The New York Times and The Brunswick News. Such details are found pretty far down the pages of the few news reports which do include them — most don’t.
So Arbery may have been the serial burglar seen repeatedly on surveillance video, identified by prosecutor George Barnhill(who has since been recused from the case due to potential conflict of interest) and by one of the two men who were trying to make a citizens arrest of him when the shooting happened, or he might have actually just been out getting some exercise.
The two men who took it upon themselves to try to make a citizen’s arrest of Arbery are Greg McMichael, 64, and his 34-year old son, Travis. The senior McMichael is a recently retired District Attorney’s investigator and former police officer, who said he’d seen Arbery on video “a bunch” breaking into homes. It was Travis McMichael who held the shotgun and was rushed by Arbery, resulting in the struggle over the gun and Arbery being shot.
From The New York Times:
On the day of the shooting, and apparently moments before the chase, a neighbor in Satilla Shores called 911, telling the dispatcher that a black man in a white T-shirt was inside a house that was under construction and only partially closed in.
“And he’s running right now,” the man told the dispatcher. “There he goes right now!”
Also from The Times:
Mr. Barnhill also wrote that he did not believe there was evidence of a crime, noting that Gregory McMichael and his son had been legally carrying their weapons under Georgia law. And because Mr. Arbery was a “burglary suspect,” the pursuers, who had “solid firsthand probable cause,” were justified in chasing him under the state’s citizen’s arrest law.
In a separate document, Mr. Barnhill stated that video exists of Mr. Arbery “burglarizing a home immediately preceding the chase and confrontation.” In the letter to the police, he cites a separate video of the shooting filmed by a third pursuer.
Already there’s no end to the voices crying out that the McMichael men acted too aggressively, while others argue that the law is on their side. I’m not going to make any predictions right now, but I do not believe it’s a case of murder at all. Manslaughter, maybe….

1996 Court Docs Reveal That Tara Reade Complained To Ex-Husband About Sexual Harassment In Biden’s Senate Office

This single piece of evidence makes Tara Reade infinitely more credible than Christine Blasey Ford .
And yet , prominent Democrats that were all-in with the “ Believing All Women ” mantra when it came to accusations against Brett Kavanaugh , are now suddenly demanding due process and the presumption of innocence when it comes to Joe Biden .
USA Today named a number of the # MeToo Crew that were out there back in September 2018 condemning Kavanaugh with no evidence are now standing by their man despite more credible evidence–House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ( D-CA ) , Senators @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Harris ( D-CA ) , Amy Klobuchar ( D-MN ) , Kirsten Gillibrand ( D-NY ) , Dianne Feinstein ( D-CA ) , Michigan Governor Gretchen ‘ Do As I Say Or Else ’ Witmer , failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams , and Rep. Alexandria Occasional-Cortex .
Here are some of the headlines showing them backing Joe .

There isn ’ t even clear evidence that Kavanaugh and Blasey Ford had ever met .
Reade , on the other hand , did indeed work as a Senate staffer for Biden .
She claims she filed a report but didn ’ t mention sexual assault , and people have come forward publicly stating that she told them about the incident at the time or shortly after .
Now , a court document from 1996 reveals that Reade told her ex-husband about an incident of sexual harassment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ aide in Biden ’ s office .
At the early stages of our dating , Petitioner [ Reade ] felt comfortable confiding in me as we both worked for Members of Congress , and we shared many other common interests .

Petitioner told me that she eventually struck a deal with the chief of staff of the Senator ’ s office and left her position .

” Clearly , to these hypocritical harridans , the “ disqualifying ” thing isn ’ t sexual assault , it ’ s the “ R ” after the man ’ s name .

This single piece of evidence makes Tara Reade infinitely more credible than Christine Blasey Ford.
And yet, prominent Democrats that were all-in with the “Believing All Women” mantra when it came to accusations against Brett Kavanaugh, are now suddenly demanding due process and the presumption of innocence when it comes to Joe Biden.
USA Today named a number of the #MeToo Crew that were out there back in September 2018 condemning Kavanaugh with no evidence are now standing by their man despite more credible evidence–House Speaker Nancy Pelosi(D-CA), Senators Elizabeth Warren(D-MA), Kamala Harris(D-CA), Amy Klobuchar(D-MN), Kirsten Gillibrand(D-NY), Dianne Feinstein(D-CA), Michigan Governor Gretchen ‘Do As I Say Or Else’ Witmer, failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, and Rep. Alexandria Occasional-Cortex.
Here are some of the headlines showing them backing Joe.
From FOX News:
The Hill:
The New York Post:
The Minnesota Star-Tribune:
CNN Politics:
Gee, what could’ve possibly changed?
Blasey Ford, the “most credible” accuser of Brett Kavanaugh, had zero corroboration. Even the witnesses that she named contradicted her. There isn’t even clear evidence that Kavanaugh and Blasey Ford had ever met.
Reade, on the other hand, did indeed work as a Senate staffer for Biden. She claims she filed a report but didn’t mention sexual assault, and people have come forward publicly stating that she told them about the incident at the time or shortly after.
Now, a court document from 1996 reveals that Reade told her ex-husband about an incident of sexual harassment when she was working as a Senate aide in Biden’s office.
The Washington Examiner explains:
The 1996 San Luis Obispo County court filing, first reported by local California paper the Tribune, does not mention an assault that Reade now alleges against Biden and does not say that Biden is the person who sexually harassed Reade. But it is the first written piece of evidence that Reade complained about sexual harassment in Biden’s office in the 1990s, boosting corroboration from friends who say that they remember Reade complaining about assault or harassment around that time.
The March 25, 1996 filing reads:
At the early stages of our dating, Petitioner [Reade] felt comfortable confiding in me as we both worked for Members of Congress, and we shared many other common interests. On several occasions Petitioner related a problem that she was having at work regarding sexual harassment, in U.S. Senator Joe Biden’s office. Petitioner told me that she eventually struck a deal with the chief of staff of the Senator’s office and left her position. I was sympathetic to her needs when she asked me for help, and assisted her financially, and allowed her to stay at my apartment with my roommate while she looked for work. It was obvious that this event had a traumatic effect on Petitioner, and that she is still sensitive and effected by it today.
This has also been confirmed by Reade’s ex-husband.
Reade’s ex-husband confirmed that he made the filing but declined to comment further. “Tara and I ended our relationship over two decades ago under difficult circumstances,” Dronen told the Tribune Thursday. “I am not interested in reliving that chapter of my life. I wish Tara well, and I have nothing further to say.” Source: Washington Examiner
If Blasey Ford had provided this much corroboration instead of a tearful testimony that didn’t clear up anything, there would have been more bipartisan calls for an investigation. But her story had more holes than Swiss cheese, and it appeared to be from beginning to end a partisan attack on a Republican Supreme Court selection.
The media has been just as duplicitous when the coverage of both accusations are compared.
Yesterday, Megyn Kelly posted a clip of her interview with Tara Reade. It was the first public appearance of Reade since Biden addressed Reade’s accusation on MSNBC’s Morning Joe.
Reade says that she wishes that he would withdraw from the Presidential race, but doesn’t think that he will.

I’m not even saying that Tara Reade is telling the truth, nor am I saying that she’s lying. There are far too many unknowns, and, ultimately, only two people really know what the truth is.
This story is about a woman accusing a man who wants to be the President of the United States of sexual assault, but it’s also much bigger than that–it’s also a story about media malfeasance and feminist hypocrisy.
The media buried Reade’s story instead of breathlessly reporting every detail as they did with Blasey Ford, Deborah Ramirez, and nutty Julie Swetnick. They made Michael Avenatti almost omnipresent on cable news shows as he represented Swetnick and Stormy Daniels who says she had an affair with President Trump. Why? Because it hurt Republicans.
Increasingly, Democrats are trying to have their “Believe All Women” cake and eat it too with their support of Joe Biden.
Their hypocrisy is perfectly summed up by prominent feminist and #MeToo lawyer, Lisa Bloom’s tweets:
The only alternative is Trump, credibly accused of sexual misconduct by over 20 women and who openly bragged about sexual assault. I represented 4 of them. We’ve only 2 choices. Trump’s ignorance and arrogance has resulted in COVID deaths of tens of thousands. Far worse. — Lisa Bloom (@LisaBloom) May 3, 2020
Ms. Reade’s struggle is just like that of the hundreds of victims I’ve represented for decades, and still do. I have also sued and gone after many Democrats though I am a lifelong Dem. I used to think sexual assault was more common on the right but it’s not. It’s everywhere. — Lisa Bloom (@LisaBloom) May 3, 2020
The TL;DR version: “Sure, Joe did exactly what Tara Reade has accused him of, but it’s either him or Trump, and we can’t have Trump!”
Clearly, to these hypocritical harridans, the “disqualifying” thing isn’t sexual assault, it’s the “R” after the man’s name.


clashdaily--2020-05-08--BIDEN IN ON FLYNN: What Did The Vice President Know And When Did He Know It?

To quote one famous moment from Biden himself , ‘ This is a big [ effing ] deal.
’ The entire impeachment nightmare we just went through was supposedly because Trump tried to use the government to destroy a political opponent .
How ironic would it be if Obama/Biden were caught red-handed doing exactly that — to Trump back in 2016 ?
More than ironic , such a scandal in the Obama/Biden administration would make Richard Nixon ’ s Presidency look like George Washington ’ s by comparison .
Watergate break-in ?
Pshaw .
That ’ s kindergarten stuff .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ On Churches Saying That They May Not Open Up For A Year Or More At this point , there is evidence that Obama played a hand in the takedown of Flynn — directly .
Investigators were going to close the Flynn case on January 4 , but Strzok urgently held it open .
On the Fifth , we have key players — including Obama — specifically discussing Flynn .
Newly released documents from the Department of Justice show President Obama informed former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates of a phone call between former @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in December 2016 .
He did so in the Oval Office .
“ Yates first learned of the December 2016 calls between [ LTG Michael ] Flynn and [ Russian Ambassador to the United States , Sergey ] Kislyak on January 5 , 2017 , while in the Oval Office .
Yates , along with then FBI-Director James Comey , then-CIA Director John Brennan , and then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper , were at the White House to brief members of the Obama Administration on the classified Intelligence Community @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Elections .
President Obama was joined by his National Security Advisor , Susan Rice , and others from the National Security Council , ” the document states .
“ After the briefing , Obama dismissed the group but asked Yates and Comey to stay behind .
Obama started by saying he had ‘ learned of the information about Flynn ’ and his conversation with Kislyak about sanctions .
Obama specified he did not want any additional information on the matter , but was seeking information on whether the White House should be treating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
At that point , Yates had no idea what the President was talking about , but figured it out based on the conversation .
Yates recalled Comey mentioning the Logan Act , but can ’ t recall if he specified there was an ‘ investigation , ' ” it continues .
— TownHall We ’ ve got documents to back that up .
That doesn ’ t mention Biden , though .
Isn ’ t he in the clear ?
Not so fast .
Byron York ties this together with something else @ @ @ @ @ @ @ us for years… What does that have to do with Biden ?
The interview notes made no mention of the vice president .
But think back to one of the stranger moments in the Trump-Russia investigation : Rice , on January 20 , 2017 , at almost the exact minute the Obama administration left office , sent an email to herself documenting the January 5 meeting .
This is how it began : “ On January 5 , following a briefing by IC leadership on Russian hacking during the 2016 presidential election , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with FBI Director Jim Comey and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates in the Oval Office .
Vice President Biden and I were also present.
” Oh — so Biden was there , too .
The Rice memo-to-self always appeared to be an oddly-timed effort to cover for Obama .
“ President Obama began the conversation by stressing his continued commitment to ensuring that every aspect of this issue is handled by the intelligence and law enforcement communities ‘ by the book , ’ Rice wrote .
“ The president stressed that he is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anything from a law enforcement perspective .
He reiterated that our law enforcement team needs to proceed as it normally would by the book.
” Got that ?
By the book .
There was a bit of a protest-too-much quality to it all .
And indeed , a lot of Republicans , as they tried to figure out what steps the intelligence and law enforcement agencies took against incoming President Trump , have always wondered just what Obama knew about it .
But now , it just so happens that another person who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Office — is running for president .
So it seems reasonable to ask what Joe Biden knew about the intelligence and law enforcement efforts against the Trump team .
—WashingtonExaminer If Biden knew , how much did he know ?
How directly involved was he in the ritual ( political ) sacrifice of General Flynn in the greater game of achieving political advantage ?
Sleepy Joe has some questions we will want his mumbled replies to .
In the words of Mark Levin while on FoxNews : “ We ’ re supposed to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the FBI went rogue , the Department of Justice went rogue , the CIA went rogue , the DNI went rogue , the NSC went rogue … and Barack Obama didn ’ t know anything ?
” the conservative radio host asked on “ Hannity.
” “ The fact of the matter is they have never been asked about the role they had , any knowledge they had , those presidential briefing documents have never been made public .
This is a massive cover-up of the greatest scandal in American history , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have been the ‘ scandal-free ’ president to the Three Stooges media clowns that had their administration ’ s back these past 12 years or so , but they won ’ t be able to cover him forever .
History will have a much different view of that administration than the ‘ tingle up my leg ’ press tried to deliver to us .

It's also beginning to look like the corrupt scheme to entrap Flynn originated in the Oval Office in January 5, 2017.

President Xi must be very pleased to see how many American sympathizers will put the Chinese Communist agenda ahead of the American Constitution .
The entire City Council in San Antonio have set out to prove that they have lost their collectiv ( ist ) minds .
While the entire nation ’ s attention was fixed on a showdown between the heavy-handed authority of the state and the right of an individual to earn a lawful living , as it played out in the case of the A La Mode salon case ( which Ted Cruz himself made a point @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attention to the right of people to earn a living ) , something else was happening under the radar .
Citing ‘ racism ’ and ‘ hate speech ’ , San Antonio voted unanimously on a law that would curtail the speech of American citizens .
Here are some screenshots of the resolution itself .
( Original link here . )
Nobody seriously believes that there are racist attacks against Chinese when we object to China ’ s COMMUNIST PARTY , and not the citizens they ’ ve enslaved , for their duplicitous @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the world .
Here comes the totalitarian impulse : Say what ?
When did the Land of the Free become a nation of hall monitors with an inferiority complex ?
Oh , and it is ‘ critical ’ , that San Antonio takes this ‘ leadership ’ , is it ?
What happens if you don ’ t ?
Will you be shunned by the hoity-toity woke elites ?
Here is their plan .
Should we understand this to mean that calling the ‘ Wuhan Wheezer ’ by names like the ‘ WuFlu @ @ @ @ @ @ @ General Tao Sicken or any of the other nicknames is now being viewed as a … criminal act of hate speech ?
Somehow , we really don ’ t think the Founders and Framers , or Crockett and Bowie had THIS in mind when they put everything they had on the line to secure our freedom .

FAKE NEWS: Jimmy Kimmel Posts Video Of V.P. Mike Pence Delivering ‘Empty Boxes’ Of PPE–Journos Retweet It

Lefty Twitter went nuts sharing the vid and pointing out how awful the Trump administration was before getting fish-slapped with the truth .
This is what happens when you get your “ news ” from a late-night comedy show .
On Thursday , late-night comedian-turned-political commentator Jimmy Kimmel posted a video clip of Vice President Mike Pence allegedly caught in a “ hot mic ” moment saying that he was carrying empty boxes of personal protective equipment to a medical facility .
But that ’ s not what happened at all .
Kimmel called it a “ publicity stunt ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ million times .
It was then shared by all sorts of blue-check lefties including those in the press .
In the full video of the event , Pence can be seen delivering multiple boxes of personal protective equipment to the Woodbine Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center in Alexandria , Va. Trending : Illinois Governor Puts SEVERE Restrictions On Churches Saying That They May Not Open Up For A Year Or More After being told that all the PPE has been unloaded and that the boxes remaining in the van are empty , Pence jokingly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ empty ones ?

Polster and lefty Verified Twitter User™ , Matt McDermott , clearly gets his “ news ” from Jimmy Kimmel .
He shared the video on Twitter on Friday and it went viral pretty quick .
He then went on a bit of a rant about the Trump administration in a short thread .
Guess who jumped on it ?
Third-rate actress Alyssa Milano .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” and Democrats–but I repeat myself .
Conservative journalist , Julio Rosas , noted that among the people spreading this “ Fake News ” were : NBC ’ s Andrea Mitchell , New York Times columnist Jamie Bouie , Vox reporter Aaron Rupar , and co-founder Matt Yglesias .
CNN political analyst , April Ryan , wrote in a now-deleted tweet , “ Some Evangelicals said they supported Donald Trump because Mike Pence is supposedly a devout Christian but Exodus 20:16 says ‘ You shall not lie.
’ Carrying empty boxes & pretending @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a pandemic is an shameful lie… & a SIN !
# RepentPence.
” Andrew Bates , Joe Biden ’ s director of rapid response wrote , “ This is a metaphor for so much of their botched response [ to the pandemic ] .
” Scarborough has deleted the tweet , but it was because he was shamed into doing so .
Apparently none of these geniuses peddling “ Fake News ” via a comedian ’ s “ deceptively edited video ” realized that they can watch the entire unedited video on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ true .
Conservative journos noticed that that was indeed possible using a simple thing called a “ web search.

But you know that tweet isn ’ t going to get near the traction that the original video did , right ?
It got so big that PolitiFact weighed in : Despite the fact-check , Matt McDermott is doublin ’ -down !

All to get invited to DC cocktail parties & thrill the 13 people watching MSNBC. https://t.co/XG9P0Bwrbp — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) May 8, 2020
Scarborough has deleted the tweet, but it was because he was shamed into doing so.
I guess Twitter is a full time job. I apologize to Mike Pence for retweeting a tweet that had been disproved. I’m deleting now. — Joe Scarborough (@JoeNBC) May 8, 2020
Apparently none of these geniuses peddling “Fake News” via a comedian’s “deceptively edited video” realized that they can watch the entire unedited video on C-Span to ensure that the claim was true.
Conservative journos noticed that that was indeed possible using a simple thing called a “web search.”
Here's an unedited version of @VP Pence delivering PPE to Woodbine Rehab Center. The clip from @JimmyKimmel and sent viral by @mattmfm & others is quite deceptive. Pence is clearly joking when he talks about empty boxes for the camera, & shuts the van doors right after the quip. pic.twitter.com/HyV8iBiljS — JERRY DUNLEAVY (@JerryDunleavy) May 8, 2020
Kimmel later admitted that he couldn’t recognize a joke when he saw one, which is no surprise to anyone who watches his show.
it would appear that @vp was joking about carrying empty boxes for a staged publicity stunt. The full video reveals that he was carrying full boxes for a staged publicity stunt. My apologies. I know how dearly this administration values truth. https://t.co/hI9cO4lxcX — Jimmy Kimmel (@jimmykimmel) May 8, 2020
But you know that tweet isn’t going to get near the traction that the original video did, right?
Jimmy Kimmel aired a deceptively DOCTORED video in order to spread FAKE NEWS claiming that Vice President Mike Pence took empty boxes of medical supplies to a healthcare facility. Kimmel's FAKE video clip went viral. Meanwhile, his "correction" does not. ABHORRENT. — Alana Mastrangelo (@ARmastrangelo) May 8, 2020
Twitter labeled the video “manipulated media.”
Even Steele-dossier-peddling Buzzfeed debunked the story.
I can't believe I have to debunk this shit https://t.co/J3avyHtsvO — David Mack (@davidmackau) May 8, 2020
So did CNN’s K-file reporter:
51K RTs but this viral clip isn't true. Mike Pence carried a bunch of loaded boxes in and then made a joke about carrying the empty ones. And he never actually carried them and closes the van door.https://t.co/kffkAD9mxfhttps://t.co/eBXgCKw2Op — andrew kaczynski? (@KFILE) May 8, 2020
It got so big that PolitiFact weighed in:
Jimmy Kimmel clip of Pence delivering boxes of PPE was deceptively edited. Pence didn’t touch or pretend to lift empty boxes. https://t.co/YzqrJDbpuI — PolitiFact (@PolitiFact) May 8, 2020
Despite the fact-check, Matt McDermott is doublin’-down!
The Vice President of the United States is performing publicity stunts (and quite literally admitting it on camera) during a pandemic that's left thousands dead and millions out of work. Normalizing that is a choice. — Matt McDermott (@mattmfm) May 8, 2020
McDermott is then lectured about taking the high road by David Mack of Buzzfeed.
I kind of disagree! He was in fact caught on hot mic. The truck was in fact filled with empty boxes. The Vice President did in fact explicitly say the whole thing was a PR stunt. It's bad and would be a weeks long scandal in any other Administration! — Matt McDermott (@mattmfm) May 8, 2020
Pro-Tip: If you’re being lectured about truth and the “high road” by someone who works for pee-tape-peddling Buzzfeed, you’re on the wrong track.
Just take the “L”, bro… unless the likes and retweets are worth more than your reputation.


clashdaily--2020-05-09--EL RUSHBO: CNN Knew Flynn Was Being Set Up, But Kept The Narrative Going Anyway

Now that the curtain has been torn back revealing what really happened with the prosecution/persecution of General Flynn , we know just how boldly the media has been gaslighting us all along .
Gaslighting is when you knowingly tell a lie , manipulating the person to whom you are lying doubt the certainty of things they once knew to be true .
Keep that principle in mind as you read what Rush had to say about the Flynn case .
The Flynn case we will remind you , was the foundation upon which the entire takedown attempt against the Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Russian collusion attacks .
The Mueller Report .
The recusal of Jeff Sessions , leaving significant power in the hands of an obviously complicit Rosenstein .
All of the Democrat gains in the House in 2018 .
All of those Time magazine covers , and NYT libels about Trump being Putin ’ s puppet… it was all built on this lie .
The lie that Flynn ’ s lawyer went digging for and finally exposed .
Trending : Illinois Governor Puts SEVERE Restrictions On Churches Saying That They May Not Open Up For @ @ @ @ @ @ @ set this up properly with a clip from Trump ’ s new Press Secretary .
Here ’ s Rush with his take on the whole situation : She went in and she burned the place down and she left no bodies .
They had no choice but than to dismiss charges after Sidney Powell had exposed the Mueller investigation and the Department of Justice for all of the illegal activities in which they had engaged to get a conviction on Flynn .
They needed Flynn out of the way .
They needed Flynn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ needed him out of the way so that their investigation of Trump could go on without Trump knowing about it .
And there are many other reasons they wanted to get rid of Flynn too .
Obama hated his guts .
But , man , look at what else we ’ ve learned in addition to all that .
James Clapper .
We now know , because of the release of transcripts , James Clapper — testifying under oath before various congressional committees .
Quote : “ I never saw any direct , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ somebody in it was plotting or conspiring with the Russians to meddle with the election.
” Clapper testified to that in 2017 !
He testified !
John Brennan did the same .
These people were all testifying under oath that they hadn ’ t seen a shred of evidence that Trump or anybody in his campaign was plotting or conspiring or colluding with the Russians to meddle with the election .
Now , there ’ s a lot of people that knew Clapper had testified to this , and not a single one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ through his teeth every day on CNN .
We have put together a montage of Clapper and John Brennan starting in 2017 all the way through 2020 , appearing on CNN and a couple of other places .
I want you to keep in mind as you listen to this , Clapper was revealed to have testified , quote , “ I never saw any direct , empirical evidence that the Trump campaign or anybody in it was plotting or conspiring with the regulations to meddle with the election.
” Now our montage… @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do wonder whether the Russians have something on him .
BRENNAN : ( 3/21/2018 ) The Russians may have something on him personally .
CLAPPER : ( 12/18/2017 ) What a great case officer Vladimir Putin is .
He knows how to handle an asset , and that ’ s what he is doing with the president .
BRENNAN : ( 10/2/19 ) He knows that Russia interfered on his behalf .
He really is hoping that his pal Vladimir is going to come through once again .
BRENNAN : ( 8/19/2018 ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ find Hillary ’ s emails !
Collusion means cooperating !
CLAPPER : ( 7/26/19 ) The Russians meddled — and successfully so — in the election of 2016 .
That cast doubt on the legitimacy of that election .
BRENNAN : ( 7/17/2018 ) I equate it to the betrayal of one ’ s nation — aiding and abetting , giving comfort to an enemy .
CLAPPER : ( 4/18/19 ) What we have here is a case of collusion .
BRENNAN : ( 10/16/19 ) The champagne corks were going to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2/19/2019 ) Do you agree , the president the United States , is a Russian asset ?
RUSH : Uh… ( chuckles ) Yeah , I ’ m doing my best to control what is a natural tendency to real rage and anger here .
This is so beyond the pale , and there needs to be some serious accountability here .
Now , you can ’ t go get somebody for lying on television .
It ’ s not a crime .
But these people ought to be finished .
There ought @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would hire them .
They have probably discredited themselves in their so-called area of expertise , intelligence and intelligence gathering .
This is just… Again , the man testified : “ I never saw any direct , imperial evidence the Trump campaign or somebody in it was plotting , conspiring with the Russians to meddle with the election.
” James Clapper , July 19th : “ I really do wonder whether the Russians have something on him.
” John Brennan , March 2018 : “ The Russians may have something on him personally.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ What a great case officer Vladimir Putin is .
He knows how to handle an asset , and that ’ s what he ’ s doing with the president.
” “ The president ’ s a Russian agent , ” says James Clapper on two occasions , lying through his teeth !
John Brennan , October 2019 : “ He knows that Russia interfered on his behalf .
He really is hoping that his pal Vladimir is gon na come through once again.
” Clapper , October 2019 : “ The Russian @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , he testified he never saw any evidence , any empirical evidence of any of this happening , because it didn ’ t .
It didn ’ t happen .
There never was .
Folks , we lost the House of Representatives because of this .
We lost two years , 2-1/2 years of an agenda being implemented .
Who knows what other damage resulted to this country because of this , and half of the country — statistically half of the country — was believing every word of this .
We had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reporting on this .
Let me remind you of one of the stories , because the question of Obama ’ s involvement in this has been solved .
He was involved .
He was well aware that Flynn was being wiretapped .
He was ordering people how to behave and what to do in regards to it .
Barack Obama was fully aware , involved , and giving orders on how this whole fake Russia collusion thing was to be implemented .
—Rush Limbaugh The media and the left lied to us .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
They even PAID people to lie to us .
The ‘ Resistance ’ used it to hamstring Trump ’ s presidency , to thwart his electoral mandate , and to retake control in the House — which they immediately used to lay out an agenda directed at destroying the President , rather than serving the interests of those who elected them .
They want their power back and they have proven that they will stop at literally nothing to get it .
But tell us again how TRUMP is the ‘ danger @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s keep this in mind come November , and send them a message at the polls like they ’ ve not seen since Reagan , ’ 84 .

Now that the curtain has been torn back revealing what really happened with the prosecution/persecution of General Flynn, we know just how boldly the media has been gaslighting us all along.
Gaslighting is when you knowingly tell a lie, manipulating the person to whom you are lying doubt the certainty of things they once knew to be true.

The lie that Flynn’s lawyer went digging for and finally exposed.
Let’s set this up properly with a clip from Trump’s new Press Secretary.
"For about the first four weeks of the election, I was watching CNN and I was naively believing some of the headlines that I saw on CNN." pic.twitter.com/2XJAZ8uOXc
Here’s Rush with his take on the whole situation:
She went in and she burned the place down and she left no bodies. They had no choice but than to dismiss charges after Sidney Powell had exposed the Mueller investigation and the Department of Justice for all of the illegal activities in which they had engaged to get a conviction on Flynn. They needed Flynn out of the way. They needed Flynn not as national security adviser.
They needed him out of the way so that their investigation of Trump could go on without Trump knowing about it. And there are many other reasons they wanted to get rid of Flynn too. Obama hated his guts. But, man, look at what else we’ve learned in addition to all that. James Clapper. We now know, because of the release of transcripts, James Clapper — testifying under oath before various congressional committees.

CLAPPER: (10/7/2019) The Russian interference, the Russian meddling…
BRENNAN: (8/19/2018) He called publicly on the Russians to find Hillary’s emails! Collusion means cooperating!
CLAPPER: (7/26/19) The Russians meddled — and successfully so — in the election of 2016. That cast doubt on the legitimacy of that election.
BRENNAN: (7/17/2018) I equate it to the betrayal of one’s nation — aiding and abetting, giving comfort to an enemy.

LEMON: (2/19/2019) Do you agree, the president the United States, is a Russian asset?
CLAPPER: (2/19/2019) I completely agree!

clashdaily--2020-05-10--SHE’S BACK: Ilhan Omar ‘Helps’ A Food Charity — That Food Charity Called BS

In federal office just over a year , she ’ s racked up more scandals than most have in their entire lifetime .
And now we can add one more .
Ilhan Omar put up a tweet , asking for money in helping a food drive called @ MNFoodShare .
‘ Chip in $ 5 a day to feed families ’ she says .
Isn ’ t it nice that a Democrat is finally stepping up to help meet the real needs of their hurting constituents , rather than pushing their private political agendas ?
That sounds nice , right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people who may be in need of food during the pandemic , with so many people out of work .
Hmm , but that ’ s an “ Act Blue ” Democrat link , and what does “ partnering ” mean ?
Sounds like it ’ s asking for donations to a site associated with her or through a Democratic site ( which could then harvest the names ) .
But it gets worse .
Omar deleted her tweet after she got this reply : Omar has already been slapped with campaign finance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with an employee , and probable misuse of funds with the married guy she was knocking boots with , before she got divorced .
Again .
The director had no idea where this money was going .
But we have a clue .
Vote Blue shows up on the link .
They are a Democrat political org .
Not only does it seem likely that money intended by donors to help food banks would have been deceptively rerouted to a political org .
To make matters worse , personal details would be captured @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who may or may not even WANT them to have that information .
