Desperation

The Swamp monsters are desperately thrashing around, trying to find SOME WAY to evade the net that is closing in on them:

A White House lawyer is refuting a rumor voiced by Congresswoman Jackie Speier (D-San Mateo) that President Donald Trump intends to fire special counsel Robert Mueller before Christmas.

On Saturday, White House special counsel Ty Cobb told CNN that no such plans exist:

“As the White House has consistently said for months, there is no consideration of firing the special counsel,” Ty Cobb, the White House special counsel, told CNN in a statement. Speier told KQED Newsroom on Friday that she believes Republicans are trying to shut down the House Intelligence Committee’s probe into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 elections.

“I believe the President wants all of this shutdown,” Speier said when asked if she believed House Republicans were bowing to pressure from the White House. “The rumor on the Hill when I left yesterday was that the president was going to make a significant speech at the end of next week. And on Dec. 22, when we are out of D.C., he was going to fire Robert Mueller.”

Speier said if the president did fire Mueller, it would cause a constitutional crisis. “That is Saturday massacre 2.0,” she said, referring to President Richard Nixon ordering the firing of Archibald Cox, the special prosecutor investigating the Watergate scandal. “Without a doubt there would be an impeachment effort.”

A significant speech. I seem to recall that patriots were told to anticipate that just last month. And now the God-Emperor is promising us MULTIPLE “great Christmas gifts”.

I wonder what they could be?

MAGA. Drain the Swamp. Pray for the President.

Coverup in California

My, my, my, will wonders never cease! It seems Corey Feldman wasn’t lying after all. This is why you should always keep your own recordings whenever you talk to the police, so they don’t conveniently misplace the ones in their possession.

Police in California say they have uncovered a tape in which Corey Feldman lists the names of men who abused him in the past. The former child actor had claimed in October that he had given the names of sexual predators in Hollywood to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office in 1993 during their investigation into Michael Jackson’s molestation charges.

But the sheriff’s office previously denied the claims, saying they had no records of Feldman revealing such information, however they have now changed their tune and stated that an audio recording has been found in a container from the original Michael Jackson child abuse investigation.

It is beginning to sound as if an order has gone out to stop protecting certain parties and the controlled burn just got bigger.

Don’t count out the Grand Inquisitor

It is possible – POSSIBLE – that Attorney General Jeff Sessions has not been as completely useless as he has appeared to be for most of this year.

Did you know the DOJ has been investigating the FBI for 11 months…. wait, what?

Hold-up on the criticism folks.  Three important statements today from the DOJ, FBI and OIG indicate there have been ongoing investigations and reviews of conduct within the upper tiers of leadership within the Department of Justice and the FBI.

Given the nature of the leaked IG investigation to the Washington Post and New York times; surrounding apex investigator and deputy head of counterintelligence at the FBI Peter Strzok; and accepting the direct approach of President Trump in his tweets toward that revelation; and adding the layer of Intel Chairman Devin Nunes threatening to file ‘contempt of congress charges‘; there is every indication something is about to break – very soon….

It would be prudent to withhold negative opinion of AG Sessions and FBI Director Wray until we can see the outcome of the Inspector General findings – which will, given the duration of the investigation, likely be a very lengthy and extensive report.

All of a sudden the recent FBI leaks to the Washington Post and New York Times make more sense.  All of the embedded political agents within the DOJ and FBI are quite possibly about to be exposed.  This would explains a lot of the current activity and visible angst from within the participants of the professional administrative state.

This year-long OIG investigation could possibly explain a great deal of the current headlines on all sides of the DC spectrum.  The black hats are on the cusp of being exposed.

In other words, there may be even more winning than was hitherto suspected. We’ll see. Regardless, still not tired. Drain the Swamp. Build the Wall.

Nationwide concealed carry

This should significantly reduce crime throughout the country. No doubt Black Lives Matter will freak out over this proposed law, since private citizens defending themselves and others will almost certainly kill more black criminals than the police:

The National Rifle Association has called the concealed carry bill, which would make it easier for gun owners to keep their firearms hidden when crossing state lines, its “highest legislative priority in Congress.” Despite concerns raised by Democrats about states’ rights and domestic violence, the Republican-controlled Congress has pushed the proposal one step closer to becoming law.

The House Judiciary Committee late Wednesday voted 19-11 for the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017, which would amend the federal criminal code to allow the concealed transport of handguns across state lines, so long as both states allow it. States will not be able to impose their individual requirements for a concealed carry license on armed travelers from other states.

Republicans rejected Democratic amendments that would ban violent offenders from qualifying under the law, as well as a change that would have prevented forum shopping, which means a New York resident barred from obtaining a concealed carry permit could instead send away for one from somewhere else. The bill, which has more than 200 co-sponsors, almost all Republicans, now heads for the floor of the 435-member House. A similar bill, with 38 Republican co-sponsors, is pending before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Is there anything less convincing than Democrats fake-crying over states rights? That ship sailed long ago and they cheered its sailing.

And once more, we’re seeing that the God-Emperor is an observably better conservative president than Reagan, let alone the Bush family.

Miscarriage of justice or prosecutorial overreach

Both, I tend to think, in the case of the death of Kate Steinle:

Jurors Thursday afternoon acquitted the illegal immigrant accused of killing Kate Steinle as she walked with her father on a crowded San Francisco pier of all charges except for felony possession of a firearm.

A spokesperson for the Superior Court of California made the announcement that the jury had reached a verdict shortly after 3 p.m. Shortly after 4:30 p.m., the shocking verdict was announced that Jose Ines Garcia Zarate was found not guilty of all charges except for the gun possession charge.

The jury of six women and six men considered charges against Garcia Zarate that include murder, assault with a deadly weapon and being a felon in possession of a firearm in the death of Steinle, a 32-year-old Pleasanton native and San Francisco resident.

The problem is that the killing quite clearly wasn’t Murder One. Unless the prosecutor wanted to argue that the killer was some sort of Deadshot-style supervillain utilizing a bank shot, there is no reasonable way to claim that a ricochet was an intentional murder. Nor would it appear likely that any assault was intended; what I can’t understand is why there was no conviction for manslaughter.

That being said, the fact that the man was in the country at all after being deported is inexcusable. Given that illegal immigrants – and legal immigrants, for that matter – have no rights under the U.S. Constitution despite what the Supreme Interpreters claim – there is no reason why a felony or even a misdemeanor conviction by an illegal immigrant should not be a capital offense.

But regardless, one thing is clear. BUILD THE WALL!

A playwright bites the dust

What a surprise that someone named (((Israel Horowitz))) should turn out to be a sex criminal. I am, of course, absolutely shocked that yet another illustrious member of the (((immigrant community))) that created America practically from nothing and has lots and lots of Nobel Prizes and is selflessly devoted to healing the world should turn out to be yet another pervy freakshow:

Inspired by the revelations about Harvey Weinstein, Louis C.K. and others, a total of nine women have come forward publicly for the first time to describe a pattern of sexual abuse and violations of trust by a man they considered a mentor and friend. Mr. Horovitz is an award-winning author of more than 70 plays, including “The Indian Wants the Bronx” (starring Al Pacino in 1968); “Park Your Car in Harvard Yard” (on Broadway in 1991); and “Out of the Mouths of Babes,” which ran Off Broadway last year.

Over his five-decade career, Mr. Horovitz has been an influential player in the theater world. As the founding artistic director of Gloucester Stage, a respected regional theater that called itself a “safe harbor for playwrights,” and as an Obie-winning writer whose work was produced frequently in New York and Paris, he has had the power to offer roles, jobs or a helping hand to generations of actors.

In response to questions this week, Mr. Horovitz, 78, told The New York Times that while he has “a different memory of some of these events, I apologize with all my heart to any woman who has ever felt compromised by my actions, and to my family and friends who have put their trust in me. To hear that I have caused pain is profoundly upsetting, as is the idea that I might have crossed a line with anyone who considered me a mentor.”

His son, Adam Horovitz, said in his own statement: “I believe the allegations against my father are true, and I stand behind the women that made them.”

Jana Mestecky said that Mr. Horovitz would summon her to his house to drop off scripts — then answer the door naked. He kissed her, fondled her and groped her from behind as she worked, she said, often telling her she “wouldn’t get anywhere with such ‘twisted Southern morals.’” (Ms. Mestecky grew up in Alabama.)

All these accusations of sex crimes are clearly bad for the Jews. We really should criminalize such accusations, just as we’ve criminalized advocating the boycotting of Israel. After all, free speech is hate speech and hate speech is anti-semitic.

Wouldn’t America be so much better and advance much faster if everyone simply accepted Hollywood values in place of those twisted Southern morals? And on that note:

Disney Debuts ‘First Boy Princess’ in ‘Star vs. the Forces of Evil’

Matt Lauer gets Weinsteined

Is there anyone in the media who doesn’t abuse their position to sexually harass women?

Matt Lauer was fired from NBC News on Wednesday after an employee filed a complaint about “inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace,” the network announced. Savannah Guthrie made the announcement at the top of the “Today” show. Lauer has been the cornerstone of the program, one of the most profitable franchises on television, for two decades.

NBC News chairman Andrew Lack said in a memo to staff that it was the first complaint lodged against Lauer in his career at the network. But he said “we were also presented with reason to believe this may not have been an isolated incident.”

Lauer was not immediately reachable for comment. An NBC News spokeswoman declined to comment about the details of the allegation against him. Reporters for The New York Times had been investigating Lauer for several weeks, according to sources who had been contacted by the Times.

It just keeps getting better. The Hollywood pedos must really be getting desperate. They’re throwing anyone and everyone to the wolves in a futile attempt to distract the American public from their own crimes. That’s fine. The more, the merrier!

But why are none of these monsters in jail yet? Why is Al Frankengroper still in the U.S. Senate?

The best consequence of all this is that the SJW-converged media is going to be a) increasingly female and b) increasingly irrelevant going forward.

UPDATE: ESPN says it is eliminating 150 studio and production employees as the sports broadcasting giant continues to shift its focus to a more digital future. The company says the layoffs, which were announced Wednesday morning in a memo to employees, don’t include on-air talent and will have a minimal impact on the network’s signature SportsCenter news program.

Translation: more layoffs, including on-air talent, are coming in the new year.

UPDATE: Still more winning!

NPR Chief News Editor David Sweeney has left the company following allegations of sexual harassment filed against him by at least three female journalists.

Senator Sexual Harassment

Sen. Al Franken must step down from the U.S. Senate at once for physically molesting Leann Tweeden.

As a TV host and sports broadcaster, as well as a model familiar to the audience from the covers of FHM, Maxim and Playboy, I was only expecting to emcee and introduce the acts, but Franken said he had written a part for me that he thought would be funny, and I agreed to play along.

When I saw the script, Franken had written a moment when his character comes at me for a ‘kiss’. I suspected what he was after, but I figured I could turn my head at the last minute, or put my hand over his mouth, to get more laughs from the crowd.

On the day of the show Franken and I were alone backstage going over our lines one last time. He said to me, “We need to rehearse the kiss.” I laughed and ignored him. Then he said it again. I said something like, ‘Relax Al, this isn’t SNL…we don’t need to rehearse the kiss.’ He continued to insist, and I was beginning to get uncomfortable.

He repeated that actors really need to rehearse everything and that we must practice the kiss. I said ‘OK’ so he would stop badgering me. We did the line leading up to the kiss and then he came at me, put his hand on the back of my head, mashed his lips against mine and aggressively stuck his tongue in my mouth.

I immediately pushed him away with both of my hands against his chest and told him if he ever did that to me again I wouldn’t be so nice about it the next time.

I walked away. All I could think about was getting to a bathroom as fast as possible to rinse the taste of him out of my mouth.

I felt disgusted and violated.

Molesting a sleeping woman? Even a Kennedy wouldn’t stoop so low. Franken has to go, and go now. Let’s see if Messrs. McConnnell, Cruz, and Ryan can summon up the same outrage for actual sexual harassment 11 years ago for which there is photographic evidence as they have for the nonexistent kind that didn’t happen 40 years ago.

Nor is it likely to be the only time (((Franken))) did something like that.

During the meeting, writers are brainstorming about how to develop a sketch in which one of the actors plays “60 Minutes” commentator Andy Rooney, who finds an empty pill bottle in his desk. According to the article, Franken’s suggestion includes Rooney saying: “I give the pills to Leslie Stahl. Then when Leslie is passed out, I take her to the closet and rape her. Or ‘That’s why you never see Lesley until February. Or, ‘When she passes out. I put her in various positions and take pictures of her.’ ”

This isn’t new and this isn’t news. Read Portnoy’s Complaint. It’s all right there, courtesy of Mr. Roth. Notice the bitter, butthurt behavior (((Franken))) exhibits after Tweeden refuses to play along with his “joke” too.

UPDATE: Once the true nature of these harassers is revealed, the floodgates tend to open:

I’ve already heard about a second Al Franken victim.

A poem, updated

There’s a miserable family called Stein:
There’s Gert and there’s Ep and there’s Wein.
Gert’s poems are noise,
Ep sold little boys,
And Hollywood was raped by Wein.

It’s rather remarkable to see how some Judeo-Christians will twist and contort themselves to try to somehow a) condemn pedophilia and child molestation while b) avoiding any condemnation of the teachings of their rabbis or the rabbis themselves.

Consider this recent Twitter exchange:

Supreme Dark Lord‏ @voxday
Hollywood values are Jewish values. There are no “Judeo-Christian” values. Ask any rabbi.

((( ?)))‏ @usershem
Why imply that Hollywood degeneracy is a Jewish value?

Mr. Smith‏ @ClazyAsylum
Is this the Jewish version of “Islam is a religion of peace”?

((( ?)))‏ @usershem
Judaism is not degenerate

Supreme Dark Lord‏ @voxday
The entire history of the Jews in the USA proves that to be a false statement. Do you accept Christian morality as the metric?

((( ?)))‏ @usershem
I agree that most Jews are degenerate. I disagree that Judaism is degenerate. Most Jews don’t follow Judaism.

Mr. Smith‏ @ClazyAsylum
Following Judaism wouldn’t be degenerate at all. Oh, wait… (Warning: picture of rabbi performing metzitzah b’peh.)

((( ?)))‏ @usershem
What does the rampant pedophilia in the church tell us about Christians?

Supreme Dark Lord‏ @voxday
That Vatican II was an abomination, it is a mistake to permit homosexuals in the Church, and Christians should be guided by the Bible.

((( ?)))‏ @usershem
I have not seen you condemn pedophila in the church in this exchange. Tell us more about your Christian values.

Supreme Dark Lord‏ @voxday
Weak, degenerate. All pedophile clergy in the Church should be excommunicated, then executed. Do you support the same for those rabbis?

((( ?)))‏ @usershem
Why can you disavow degeneracy on behalf of Christians but I can’t disavow degeneracy on behalf of Jews?

Supreme Dark Lord‏ @voxday
You can. But you are not disavowing the teachings or the authorities that EXPRESSLY PERMIT that degenerate behavior.

((( ?)))‏ @usershem
Show me a degenerate teaching and I will condemn it and the claimed authority that teaches it.

Supreme Dark Lord‏ @voxday
Do you condemn and disavow Rabbi Simeon ben Yohai? At what age does the Talmud say “the sexual matureness of woman is reached”?

((( ?)))‏ @usershem
I’m not a fan of Shimon bar Yohai, since he had a low opinion of common folks.

Supreme Dark Lord‏ @voxday
That is not a disavowal. Do it unambiguously. Don’t play word games. Condemn him and disavow him as an evil man teaching evil laws.

((( ?)))‏ @usershem
I’m not sure what you hate about bar yohai so much, but I condemn all rape, pedophilia and degeneracy, and any who condone it

Supreme Dark Lord‏ @voxday
You are not fooling anyone, liar. You know Simeon ben Yohai’s teachings and yet you will not condemn or disavow him. Why not?

((( ?)))‏ @usershem
As far as I know he did not condone pedophilia, but if he did I condemn and disavow. How can I be clearer?

((( ?)))‏ @usershem
As for the Talmud, there is a difference between when a woman is a woman and when one is allowed to marry her.

((( ?)))‏ @usershem
Talmud does not permit rape, pedophilia or child marriage.

((( ?)))‏ @usershem
It does however hold that if a young child is molested/raped in violation of the law she remains a virgin for legal/marriage purposes

((( ?)))‏ @usershem
So degenerate, protecting the innocent.

Supreme Dark Lord‏ @voxday
No, it is to protect the ASSAILANT. The innocent cannot throw guilt on him. You are literally defending pedophiles now, degenerate.

((( ?)))‏ @usershem
Just because a raped child is legally considered a virgin doesn’t mean the rapist is not punished. You are the one contorting.

Supreme Dark Lord‏ @voxday
Either condemn Simeon ben Yohai as an evil man teaching evil practices and disavow him or stand revealed as a degenerate pedo-defender.

Needless to say, he continued to equivocate and feign ignorance until I finally blocked him for wormtonguery. Now, don’t take my word for any of this. Look up the rabbi’s teachings on sex, marriage, and children, then decide for yourself. But do notice that usershem NEVER ANSWERED the questions that would have nailed down his position, whether it was a Christian metric for morality or the age of female sexual maturity. His behavior was even intellectually shadier than it looks here, because on another tangent he defended the degenerate practice of metzitzah b’peh as abuse, but not molestation, because he somehow magically knows the pure intentions of every rabbi who ever put mouth to underage genitals.

Also notice the way his attempt to deflect moral degeneracy onto the Christian Church was abandoned as soon as he realized that I was not going to defend the degenerates there, but was perfectly happy to condemn them, disavow them, and see them punished. The contrast between my reaction and his on the subject could not be more clear.

This is the Judeo-Christianity that our conservative friends hail so warmly. This is the Judeo-Christian values that many conservatives claim to be the basis for America’s founding. This is the intellectual spirit of Judeo-Christ. It is devoted to the exact opposite of the truth as it is designed to conceal, obfuscate, distract, and mislead.

I did find it a little ironic to see how willing this usershem was to throw literally “most Jews” under the degenerate bus in order to try to break the observable link between the religious teachings and the infamous Hollywood/Media/Wall Street degeneracy. There are plenty of decent Jews who abide by the Christian standards of morality as well as any Christian, and indeed, there are more than a few Christians who happen to be of Jewish descent. They would not hesitate to condemn evil teachings or evil men.

But it should be obvious that “Judeo-Christianity” is not Christianity and that “Judeo-Christian values” are not Christian values and neither reflect nor respect Christian morality.

Now, I understand that the urge to defend one’s identity is a natural, powerful, and instinctive one. But should you ever find yourself tempted to defend the ongoing commission of unmitigated evil targeting innocent children on the grounds of tradition, fear, or good intentions, you should seriously consider the source of that temptation. There simply is no defending this sort of thing, or pretending that there is no possible connection between the medieval teachings and the actions today.

UPDATE: Larry David does his best to get out in front of the growing Hollywood Values scandal.

A strange, newfound respect

Rod Dreher is on a roll.

Donald Trump, in his rough way, is right:

President Donald Trump, during a White House Cabinet meeting Wednesday, said he wants to terminate the Diversity Visa Lottery, a program that distributes around 50,000 visas to countries where there is a low rate of immigration to the US.

“I am, today, starting the process of terminating the diversity lottery program,” Trump said, seated next to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis. “I am going to ask Congress to immediately initiate work to get rid of this program, diversity lottery, diversity lottery. Sounds nice, it is not nice, it is not good. It hasn’t been good and we have been against it.”

He added: “We’re going to quickly as possible get rid of chain migration and move to a merit-based system.”

Trump added that based on preliminary information, the attacker in New York “was the point of contact, the primary point of contact for, and this is preliminarily, 23 people, that came in or potentially came in with him and that is not acceptable.”

Of course the God-Emperor is right. The USA has to get rid of a) birthright citizenship, b) chain migration, c) dual nationality, and d) post-1965 immigrants and their descendants if it is going to survive intact.

Which is why it probably won’t. But it’s not over until it is actually over.

It is amusing how Dreher still has to qualify that he does not approve of the God-Emperor’s tone. After all, saving the nation would be so much more palatable if it were done wearing the proper bowtie.
