That Epstein Thing

The Divine Sarah has an opinion about the Epstein thing, and it makes a great deal of sense.  The biggest part:

“No, it is not actually credible that Trump was ‘in the Epstein list’ because if he had been, the Biden DOJ who had control of that list would have published it or at least published that bit of it, with corroboration, instead of going after washed up socialites and media personalities oh, and porn actresses to try to smear Trump.”

That makes a great deal of sense.  Of course, assuming that if such a list even existed — and maybe it did, or maybe it was all in Epstein’s (now-deceased) head, or maybe it used to exist and was so incriminating for a whole bunch of Democrat bigwigs that the Democrat-controlled FBI destroyed it and all its supporting evidence during the arrest and search (which took place, lest we forget, in 2019).

Equally germane to the whole “Epstein coverup” is that the loudest voices now screaming for Bondi’s removal and ritual beheading are either extremist MAGA nutcases or rabid lefties like Keith Olberman.

Why would the Left suddenly be calling for the removal of Trump’s attorney-general?

I dunno, but here’s one reason:

The Department of Justice and the FBI have been quietly building a major criminal conspiracy case targeting the Deep State’s decade-long effort to derail Donald Trump. According to Solomon, the scope of the investigation could finally deliver the accountability that many in the MAGA movement have long demanded.

Now that’s a bigger deal than a pedophile’s little black book that may or may not exist.

Look, I don’t like the fact that the Epstein files were on Bondi’s desk (by her own admission) and it turned out that they were just a big nothingburger.

And I’ll also buy the fact that Epstein may well have killed himself, with the absolute assistance of corrupt criminal officials (surveillance video turned off, the guards “on break”, etc.), because that’s how things work in a corrupt Democrat bureaucracy.

Frankly, I’m more interested that these assholes get to wear prison jumpsuits:


…than a bunch of wealthy or politically-active assholes who liked shagging young girls.  Both would be good, I agree;  but if forced to pick one group, I’d pick to one containing Brennan, Comey and McCabe et al.

And if it were to turn out that the Clintons were involved in that criminal conspiracy — and I’m not taking bets they weren’t — we’d most likely be getting a twofer, given the likely intersect.

Speaking of a real MAGA issue being more important than Epstein, there’s also this one:

The Supreme Court delivered an opinion last week that not even the best of the punditry class was prepared to understand. The decision was Trump vs. CASA, and the topic concerned the nationwide injunction against Trump’s management of U.S. immigration policy. As with more than 40 other cases, federal district judges have intervened to stop the president from exercising executive powers.

The opinion could not be plainer: “Universal injunctions likely exceed the equitable authority that Congress has given to federal courts.” That principle applies not only to this case but to the whole panoply of cases that have tethered the ability of the president to manage executive branch operations. The courts have presumed authority over the president that the Constitution plainly does not grant.

I would suggest that the whole Epstein argy-bargy is a sideshow compared to the above two issues, and it’s them we should be going after.  Yeah, maybe Bill Clinton was an Epstein client / accomplice;  but that he may have escaped justice (for the umpteenth time) is just an irritation, not a critical problem.

A runaway Deep State and an obstructive (and un-Constitutional) judiciary are far more important matters — and that the Trump Administration is dealing with them is more important for our nation’s future than some crowd of foul kiddie-diddlers against whom we have little evidence anyway.

Sucks, but that’s the reality of the thing.

Floggings Indicated

Then you have this kind of Lefty fun and games:

Four anti-ICE activists were arrested after allegedly planting homemade tire deflation devices around vehicles belonging to federal law enforcement agents conducting immigration enforcement operations in the Van Nuys neighborhood of Los Angeles.

The question, then, is what kind of punishment should be meted out to the little scamps who perpetrated this mischief?

Obviously, this is overkill (so to speak):

…because the tire-spikes are not deadly things, per se.

And clearly, fines and similar wrist-slaps are not adequate punishment either;  but imprisonment seems a little harsh — not to me, but to the average citizen, maybe.  So perhaps a little public punishment might be called for:

Lots of owie, but nothing long-lasting — pour encourager les autres, if you’ll excuse my French.

Just sayin’.

I Love Florida

I wouldn’t want to live there (#Bugs #Humidity #Hurricanes), but I just love the attitude of FLGov De Santis, talking about the proposed “Alligator Alcatraz”, a holding camp for illegal immigrants which is under construction on an abandoned airstrip right in the middle of the Everglades swamp:

“We’ve got a massive runway right behind us where any of the federal assets that want to fly these people back to their home country—they can do it one-stop shop.”

 Nothing like a little efficiency, is there?

Predictably, some assholes aren’t very happy about all this, but the hell with them.  The facility is due to start full-scale operations any day now.

Righting A Wrong

I read some libtard moaning SOTI about Trump’s “obession” with the 2020 election result (for those of short memory, that was the one where 81 million people suddenly came out of nowhere to vote for Vice-President Braindead).

Let’s be clear about this:  it was a stolen election, and Trump is perfectly within his rights to be pissed off about it.  (That it has turned out to be a blessing in disguise in that Trump 47 is working out better than Trump 46 would have, is just one of life’s lovely little ironies.)

So of course Trump is going after a special prosecutor to investigate the thing, and the reason he must do that is to identify both the methodology that enabled the steal, and the agents who executed it, for the benefit of future elections that the Left may want to steal.

Have at it, guys.

Helping Hand

I got this from Reader Brad_In_IL over the weekend:

Kim,

The skeet/trap ranges at my local sporting club have been severely damaged by a miscreant. Here’s from the senior RSO for the pistol/rifle side of the club

On Friday evening, someone in a dump truck did extensive damage to the Main Clubhouse. The individual also hit the other buildings as well, sparing only the R/P office. It was all caught on camera and the perp has been found and charges pending. No fun for anyone. It’s frustrating.

Perhaps you can help bring some attention to this wanton vandalism, for fundraising for repair / rebuilding.  If not fundraising… perhaps you can encourage your readers in the Northeast IL / Southeast Wisconsin area to patronize the club.

Thank you.

Indeed I can.  Those of you who live out there, get over to Brad’s club and join up, because it’s not like there are a zillion choices to shoot in that part of GFW World.  All others:  please reach for yer wallets, if you can, and follow the link above.  Your support is sorely needed.

When Facts Meet Dogma

…it’s no competition at all.  Bernie Sanders must have been insane (I know, I know) to agree to go on Joe Rogan’s podcast.

“You gotta deal with this climate change issue,” Sanders insisted. “It ain’t a hoax.” He trotted out the standard leftist claim that the last decade was “the warmest on record” and promised that a green energy overhaul would magically create “millions of good-paying jobs.”
But Rogan didn’t let Bernie get away with that kind of simplistic narrative. Instead, he calmly pointed out that Earth’s climate is far more complex and historically volatile than Sanders wants to admit. “The Earth’s temperature has never been static,” Rogan said. “It’s always been up and down. There’s been ice ages and heat waves.”
Referencing a recent Washington Post piece, Rogan brought up the inconvenient truth that global temperatures, when viewed over a longer timeline, appear to be in a cooling phase, something that completely undermines the urgency of the left’s climate panic. “Look at the far end of that graph,” Rogan said, quoting the Post’s data. “You see, we’re in a cooling period.”
Sanders tried to pivot, admitting that he hadn’t read the article, but Rogan began to point out how climate change is a huge grift. “There’s a lot of money involved in this whole climate change emergency issue,” he said. “And there’s a lot of control.”

It’s the “control” part that gets me,  Telling me that after some date or other I’ll have to drive an electric car, or if I don’t, I’ll be restricted to x number of miles before my car gets shut down remotely;  that I’ll have to put up with regular brownouts / blackouts because electricity generation must be either wind- or solar-generated;  having to become a vegetarian because cattle-emissions damage the atmosphere…

The list goes on and on, and all that changes is that more and more means of control are introduced into our daily lives.

The hell with all of them, and the hell with Bernie Sanders who, despite being a self-confessed Marxist has somehow [eyeroll]  managed to become a multimillionaire property owner since be was elected to the Senate.
