Lousy timing

December 5, 2022

An Obama-appointed federal judge ordered Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake’s lawyers to pay the legal fees of Maricopa County election officials in a previous failed lawsuit to prevent the use of electronic voting machines in last month’s elections. Details here:

Lake says it’s highly unusual to put sanctions on plaintiffs in public interest lawsuits, and alleged that this is meant to send a message that nobody had better dare challenge the election system. But the judge claims the plaintiffs made “false, misleading, and unsupported” claims in their complaint. He wrote, “Imposing sanctions in this case is not to ignore the importance of putting in place procedures to ensure that our elections are secure and reliable. It is to make clear that the court will not condone litigants ignoring the steps that Arizona has already taken toward this end and furthering false narratives that baselessly undermine public trust at a time of increasing disinformation about, and distrust in, the democratic process. It is to send a message to those who might file similarly baseless suits in the future.”

Not being an attorney, I can’t say whether the judge’s ruling is legally sound. But I will say that if he thinks he’s protecting the public’s trust in the secure and reliable way that the “democratic process” is handled in Maricopa County, he sure has lousy timing.

$569 BILLION

December 5, 2022

A California government committee recommended that each of the state’s 2.5 million residents who identify as black or African-American should be given $223,000 in reparations for “housing discrimination” alone.

After more than two years of being censored, canceled and vilified if we dared question the official narrative of COVID springing from bat filets at a Chinese wet market, a new book by Dr. Andrew Huff claims that it was indeed manmade, and despite denials by the Chinese and US governments, it leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology due to lax security.

In the book, “The Truth About Wuhan: How I Uncovered the Biggest Lie in History,” Huff claims the US sent this dangerous biotechnology to China to do gain of function research on it and make it more contagious, and that China knew from day one that it was bio-engineered. He calls this the worst US Intelligence failure since 9/11.

But who is Dr. Huff to be making these accusations? He’s the former vice president of EcoHealth, the New York nonprofit that was given federal grants by Dr. Fauci, allegedly to get around the government’s ban on funding gain of function research, and he actually worked in the Wuhan virus lab.

One media defender of the status quo questioned Dr. Huff’s credibility, demanding to know why he didn’t go to Congress instead of writing a book that will make him money. His response: he says he went to Congress over a year ago, and to the FBI. Both did nothing, so he had to write a book to get the story out. This is a story we'll definitely be hearing more about, but probably not on CNN or MSNBC.

On Monday, we reported that Attorney General Merrick Garland’s newly-appointed special counsel, Jack Smith, had quite a history of targeting conservative Republicans. Today, there’s even more to suggest a strongly partisan Democrat slant.

Smith’s wife, Katy Chevigny, gave thousands of dollars to Joe Biden’s campaign in 2020 and also was a producer on the Michelle Obama documentary, BECOMING (which, not surprisingly, received four Emmy nominations). Chevigny also contributed to the Friends of Rashida Tlaib committee in 2008.

That in itself doesn’t necessarily create a conflict for her husband, but taking everything we know into consideration, I’d say Mollie Hemingway got it right Monday evening when she told Laura Ingraham, “This is someone who, if you were trying to make it seem like this was above-board, you really could not have done a worse job...There’s no reason why anybody should have any modicum of trust in what they’re doing, and they don’t seem to care. They’re just flaunting it at this point.”

Stephen Miller agreed, saying, “We are witnessing the demise of the rule of law in this country.”

Last week, I mentioned how conveeeeeenient it was for the Democrats that only after the elections were over did the Washington Post inform us that the raid on President Trump’s home turned up nothing out of line in the documents in his possession nor any nefarious intent on his part. And I’ve already discussed how they kept the extent of John Fetterman’s mental health problems covered up until after much of the early vote was cast. Now, Matt Margolis at PJ Media offers four more “Oh, by the way…” narratives that boosted the Democrats and only after the ballots were safely cast are we learning the truth. Sounds like "disinformation" influencing "low information voters" to me...

Here’s one more he could’ve added to the list: In calling for amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants because the US population isn’t growing fast enough, Chuck Schumer basically confirmed the “great replacement” accusation that he previously denounced as a racist conspiracy theory.

Must-Read on COVID

November 17, 2022

A woman whose mother had her necessary cancer treatments delayed by COVID lockdowns (she is now terminal) makes a personal case for why we should ignore calls for a “pandemic amnesty” to forgive authorities who were wrong about COVID and just forget about it.

Postmortems

November 11, 2022

As all the postmortems of the midterm elections roll in, one narrative that’s rising to the top is that many Republicans who were Trump supporters are now starting to see DeSantis as the Party’s future and Trump as an anchor.
