When The FBI Does It, That Means That It’s Not Illegal

Democrats Drain The Swamp Russiagate 3 Comments

Matt Margolis;

The president exercised his constitutional authority to fire an FBI director, and the FBI responded by opening a counterintelligence investigation into him.

The key document is a declassified FBI “Opening Electronic Communication,” dated May 16, 2017, exactly one week after Trump fired Comey on May 9. It authorized a full investigation into the sitting president of the United States under the codename “Oxferd Comma.” No, that’s not a typo. Don’t ask me why it’s spelled that way. […]

So what was the “articulable factual basis” for treating a duly elected president as a suspected Russian asset? Trump’s conversations with Comey. The document claims Trump “sought Comey’s personal loyalty” and “asked Comey to publicize the fact that the President was not the subject of an FBI investigation.” It also states that Trump “asked Comey to do what he could to resolve the investigations.”

That’s it. That’s the smoking gun. A president asked why the FBI wouldn’t publicly admit what it privately told him, that he wasn’t under investigation, and the bureau treated the question as evidence of a Kremlin conspiracy.

From ‘Antenor‘:

This may need a heading on its own. After the Pelosi video of what happened on January 6, this piece of video comes from a film crew that was covering Fauci watching a Biden address. Funny how these video clips get exposed after the damage has been done.

Second comment to the above video, just a question, why was there a video crew in Fauci’s home during Biden’s inauguration speech?

Hawaiian Punch

Democrats New Rules 12 Comments

Caught on video.

A Hawaiian man knocked out a Democratic congressional candidate with one punch after he allegedly threatened to shoot a woman at a Maui beach.

Police say Kirill Basin, 40, became enraged after a 61-year-old man asked him to lower his music.

Basin allegedly threatened to shoot the man’s wife and several bystanders.

A local man seen approaching in the background confronted Basin, knocked him out, then calmly told him to stop threatening people.

Police say Basin later pulled a knife and continued threatening people. […]

Basin was charged with two counts of first-degree terroristic threatening. Bail was set at $1 million.

Assuming that New Brunswick puts the seized cigarettes back on the shelf and eventually collects the tax, the cost of the enforcement efforts still amount to a net loss to taxpayers.

Authorities in New Brunswick say they’ve seized millions of contraband cigarettes that represent $1.1 million in lost tax revenue.

Today’s announcement by public safety officials was the first since the province’s Liberal government invested $1.2 million to support contraband enforcement in the spring budget.

 

The Sanya Initiative

Top American Generals Joined a CCP Spy Front’s Backchannel;

For more than a decade, former chairmen of the Joint Chiefs, combatant commanders, Cabinet officials and members of Congress participated in a military dialogue organized with a Chinese group identified by congressional investigators as a front engaged in “intelligence collection” and “propaganda and perception management.” Some ended up on China’s payroll shortly after.

The Chinese Communist Party did not need to penetrate the Pentagon to gain access to America’s military leadership.

It built a private network around it. […]

The American participants included:

Gen. Peter Pace, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
Adm. William “Bill” Owens, former Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
Gen. John Abizaid, former commander of U.S. Central Command
Gen. Raymond Odierno, former Army Chief of Staff
Adm. Jonathan Greenert, former Chief of Naval Operations
Adm. Timothy Keating, former commander of U.S. Pacific Command
Gen. Ronald Fogleman, former Air Force Chief of Staff
Gen. Dennis Reimer, former Army Chief of Staff
Adm. Joseph Prueher, former commander of U.S. Pacific Command
Gen. John Keane, former Vice Chief of Staff of the Army
Gen. Walter Sharp, former commander of U.S. Forces Korea
Gen. Charles Jacoby, former commander of U.S. Northern Command
Gen. Charles Wilhelm, former commander of U.S. Southern Command

The program was called the Sanya Initiative.

Its glossy brochures framed it as a peaceful exchange between retired American and Chinese generals. Photographs showed senior officers chatting in Hawaiian shirts, touring military institutions and sitting across from Chinese commanders in ornate meeting rooms.

But the initiative was not organized with an ordinary veterans’ association.

It was funded by the China-United States Exchange Foundation, or CUSEF, and conducted with the China Association for International Friendly Contact, or CAIFC.

Congressional investigators have described CAIFC as “a front organization” for the People’s Liberation Army’s former General Political Department.

The U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission found that the group performed the dual roles of “intelligence collection” and “conducting propaganda and perception management campaigns.”

Emphasis mine. You can also read it on the X thread.

Moonlighting

A discarded SpaceX Falcon 9 upper stage is set to collide with the moon on Wednesday, Aug. 5, in an unplanned impact that’s expected to create a fresh crater and send a towering plume of debris into space.

I remember when Popular Mechanics used to be an insightful, informative publication. Not so any more. These days, they just regurgitate the same kind of claims that worked so well to gin up public hysteria during the pandemic.

Biofouling may result in a massive marine super-spreader event if preventative measures prove inadequate.

This exposure could turn into a biological apocalypse.

And on top of all that, some species notorious for biofouling can also become parasitic to native species, which can then cause outbreaks of disease that threaten many host species and (depending on the parasite) could possibly infect humans.
