It’s a horrible offer, and Comer shouldn’t take it, because Comer has no way to investigate the document’s authenticity. They could put anything in front of Comer. He’s not an expert in documents or international bribery schemes. My lawyer instincts suggest Wray’s offer is a trick or trap of some kind, maybe an attempt to deflect or defuse the conflict with the House, or maybe just to create an excuse for the FBI to claim it “tried” to work with the House and “tried” to propose a reasonable compromise that would satisfy the subpoena.
But that wasn’t the craziest part. I was reading along, making my notes, when my coffee cup struck the desk in shock, and I felt a kind of electric shock as I read the following paragraph from last night’s CNN story:
Katya, hold the chicken Kyiv! I rubbed my throbbing eyes in disbelief. What did CNN just casually say?
CNN said that the documents the House wants came from UKRAINE. Ukraine, again! And it said Bill Barr got them from Rudy Guiliani before the election. And then Bill Barr buried the incriminating documents under a government buffalo pen in Philadelphia, underneath a stack of cow patties so deep that even now the House is struggling to dig them out of the FBI’s top-secret manure mound.
You’ll remember, I’m sure, the Deep State’s allergic reaction to Trump’s single phone call asking Ukraine for information about Joe Biden’s “activities” there, which lead to Trump Impeachment Circus Number One. They called Trump’s call “election interference.” Kind of like how burying the Hunter Biden laptop story was election interface, but the good kind, but I digress.
I am also sure you will keenly recall Joe Biden’s famous hot-mic brag that he extorted Ukraine into firing its Prosecutor General, Viktor Shokin, who was allegedly investigating him for bribery and who knows what else. Maybe cannibalistic pedophile stuff, who knows.
Anyway, who wants to bet that the Ukrainian documents Rudy Guiliani gave Bill Barr came from the fired prosecutor general, then Barr made them disappear, and now Wray is protecting them?
Oh wait, CNN confirmed the Comer document WAS one of Guiliani’s Ukrainian documents:
In other words, it’s starting to look like there is a WHOLE lot more to this Biden Bribery document than was originally advertised.
And how come every time some truly reprehensible crime story appears, there’s aways a link to Ukraine somewhere? Or is it just my imagination?
Oh…and Biden invaded the Springs last night…I’m staying home until he leaves…..
A chat with Cal Thomas
BACKSTORY | On the Moral Majority, Christians in media, and Julie Andrews
________________
~ I don’t remember a time when I didn’t know of Cal Thomas. In 1984, in the interest of balancing its opinion pages, the Los Angeles Times agreed to run Thomas’ column, which would become the most widely read column in America. In our cover essay, “Infamous scribblers,” in this issue, Thomas looks back on how the news business has changed since he landed his first media job as an NBC News copy boy in 1961. I followed up with a few more questions:
Journalists have a responsibility to be fair, which is increasingly rare in media today. What has America lost as a result? They have lost Truth, which has been replaced almost exclusively by opinion from a secular progressive perspective. It is why trust in the media is near a record low. Objectivity is impossible since we all have worldviews. Fairness is another matter, and it means reporting what one sees without an agenda or beginning with a narrative and then looking for information that fits that narrative.
You once served as vice president of the Moral Majority, founded in 1979 by the late Rev. Jerry Falwell Sr. Now the very name of the organization has become a byword among many American elites. How would you gauge the historical impact of the group, and to what extent have its concerns been borne out today? It helped register many people who had disdained politics, which was good. It also created a fusion of the two kingdoms, one of which Jesus said was “not of this world.” This has led to the idolization of Donald Trump and a glossing over of his character in ways evangelicals did not apply to Bill Clinton when they said character and behavior mattered most. The experience taught me a lot, Biblically and politically. The late Ed Dobson and I wrote about it in an earlier book, Blinded by Might: Why the Religious Right Can’t Save America. … ~

It made me recall the “Common Ground” series Thomas launched with Bob Beckel some years back:
~ One is a liberal strategist and CNN pundit and the other is a conservative columnist and FOX News panelist, but together Bob Beckel and Cal Thomas inspire audiences to set aside partisanship and find the common ground in their own beliefs.
For 10 years, Bob and Cal co-wrote the popular point-counterpoint column “Common Ground” for USA Today, which was a must-read among politicos and concerned citizens. The co-authors of “Common Ground: How to Stop the Partisan War That is Destroying America,” both have established themselves with decades-long careers in politics ~
— And, as was noted in an earlier post on the daily thread some days ago by Kizzie, it was Thomas who shared Christ with Beckel who became a believer. Amazing how God works in often unlikely ways (who’d have thought?) — and how we can be part of that when we’re open to the Spirit.
Cal Thomas could share the love of Christ with Beckel because he had always been respectful with him, not taking a harsh adversarial tone with him. Elsewhere, I read that Thomas was that way with others on the left, often replying with a touch of humor, which has a way of softening any hard feelings, and keeping the door to communication open.
Reminds me of Proverbs 15:1: “A soft answer turns away wrath,
But a harsh word stirs up anger.”
Health Shocker: Jamie Foxx Left 'Paralyzed and Blind' From 'Blood Clot in His Brain' After Receiving COVID-19 Vaccine, Source Claims https://t.co/z68wReI5di
— ✝️🇺🇸 ULTRA Lady Inspector7 🇺🇸✝️ 🇮🇱 (@SMHatLibs) June 1, 2023
There’s conflicting information about what is going on with Jamie Foxx. Some, including from his daughter, say that he is out of the hospital and recovering well (including playing pickleball), and others say that he is in rehab in Chicago. (The health kind of rehab, not drug rehab.)
The daughter says the media is making stuff up and some other guy says that she is making things up.
Chris Christie and the Republican Party’s Peril
In some ways he’s a match for Trump, whose third nomination would mark the end of the GOP.
By Peggy Noonan
If Trump Republicans propel Donald Trump over the top in the primaries, they will be doing and will have done two things. They will have made him their nominee for the presidency, and they will have ended the Republican Party.
I don’t mean this rhetorically, in the way of people walking around the past eight years crying, “The party as I knew it is gone.” I mean it literally: The GOP will disappear as a party. Meaning the primary national vehicle of conservative thought and policy will disappear.
Whether you approved or disapproved, tearing the party off its deep-dug tracks in 2016—away from things it had stood for since 1980, away from the sort of candidates it had generally put forward—was a wrench, for some a trauma. But the party proved itself able and elastic. There was “a great deal of ruin” in it, as Adam Smith said. It had enough give to absorb and endure.
But a third Trump nomination? The third time it breaks.
Put another way, once is what you did (made a mistake, as people and parties do). Twice is what you did (almost out of loyalty to the first mistake). But a third time—that isn’t what you did, it’s who you are.
If the party chooses Trump in 2024 it will mean it has changed its essential nature and meaning, and that it is split in a way that can’t be resolved by time. Republicans of the suburbs, of the more educated and affluent places, won’t agree to be the official Trump Forever Party. They just won’t. They will leave. Some will go third-party and try to build something there. Some will blend into the Democratic Party and hope they can improve things there.
Trump supporters will stay on in a smaller, less competent party. But they will, as time passes, get tired of losing and also drift on somewhere.
But there will be no Republican Party after a Trump ’24 race, which, again, means the vehicle of conservative thought and policy will be gone.
So the question right now isn’t so much whether you like Nikki or dislike Ron, it is: Do you wish the Republican Party to disappear as a force in American political history? If you answer honestly that you do, you will be leaving the entire national field open to the Democratic Party, where the rising energy will continue to be from the hard left. (The old boomer moderates of both parties are aging and leaving.) Do you want to abandon America to progressive thinking? If you do, you are no longer a politically involved conservative, but more like a nihilist.
It’s all ugly and corrupt, blow it up. Like a young Antifa activist.
(*** I think I’ve read this very thing on this blog more than once … Reminds me of that old theory that the far left and far right just go around and around the bend and only wind up meeting each other on the other side; not so different after all ***)
To think about the long term, to be strategic, to be serious about the implications of your decisions—those are good and needed things right now. …
(*** But Christie? Not my choice, but maybe some interesting thoughts*** )
Here are two strengths and two challenges.
Mr. Christie is a wholly undervalued executive talent. People forget what a good governor he was when he was being a good governor, which is not a typo. In eight years (2010-18) in deep blue New Jersey he capped property taxes, used the line-item veto to limit spending, increased school funding, got more charter schools, and got the state through the true disaster of superstorm Sandy.
He shared by text a few weeks ago what he considers his two biggest policy achievements: He won public-employee pension reform with big Democratic majorities in both state legislative chambers and despite huge and intense public union opposition. And, interestingly: “Camden was the most dangerous city in America in 2013. We fired the entire police department, rehired a new force built around community policing and violence de-escalation. . . . Ten years later murder is down 63%, shootings down 68%, and robbery down 70%. No violence after George Floyd.”
Love him or hate him, he knows what to do with power. He isn’t secretly frightened of it, as many politicians are.
Second, he is politically gifted. In 2013, the year he won re-election by 22 points, I spent a day with him on the trail and wrote of what I saw—the presidential-sized crowds, the affection and something else: the lost joy of politics. His pleasure in the game and the meaning of the game, his remembering that on some level it is a game, to be won or lost to cheers or boos. What a figure.
A challenge: People don’t remember what a golden boy he was. He was at his political height 10 years ago, in a country that barely remembers last week. He is going to have to do a lot of reminding without sounding like the guy at the bar remembering that time he kicked the field goal.
And there were scandals. …
… From the Department of Unasked-For Advice: Own it, big boy, own it all. Scandals like that either deepen you, make you wiser, smack you in the head and make you reflect—or they kill you. It’s one or the other. He doesn’t look dead to me. …
As I said, Chris Christie wouldn’t be my choice. It feels like he’d mostly pour gasoline on an already out-of-control fire that this ’24 race is fast becoming.
But my theory is it’s still interesting to read different perspectives. There will be plenty more of them in the months ahead, whether we agree with them or not.
I suspect she may be correct about a third Trump nomination essentially ending what was the “Grand Old Party” (which will splinter into smaller, ineffective segments) and paving the way, at least in the immediate years, for Democratic election dominance.
Chris Christie still attempting to be relevant… is not happening.
“Republicans of the suburbs, of the more educated and affluent places, won’t agree to be the official Trump Forever Party. They just won’t. “
Seriously?? The more educated and affluent one happens to be the “more smarter” you are??!😂 Because we all know anyone who appreciates what Trump has done for this nation is an uneducated poor slob!!
“One of the things Twitter doesn’t do very well, thus rumors are easily spread on that platform.
Be skeptical.”
