Two Realities

It’s hard to reconcile the world views of the Left and the Right when it comes to President Donald J. Trump. The Orangeman, on a minor miracle, won the presidency in 2016 ... committing the sin of all sins ... beating the brightest woman in the world. As a result, Hillary Clinton has become unglued ... accusing Trump of all sorts of diabolical doings to win. And those who voted for her have also followed her down these rabbit holes ... proffering all kinds of  spittle-flecked pejoratives to slime her victorious foe ... and even try to remove him from office.

We on the Right see these efforts as vindictive ... even possibly treasonous. Since most of this combat has been opinion and not fact, I have suggested in a blog comment to a never-Trumper that we might only resolve these differences with hard guilt-suggesting evidence ... not with overheated rhetoric.

So, I have decided to try to recount all the possible damning physical evidence on both sides ... and see where that gets us. Thus the following lists of tangible naughties:

Hillary Clinton

- 33,000 deleted Hillary emails
- Fusion GPS dossier on Trump
- The phone taps on the Trump campaign
- The Dem spies inserted into the Trump campaign
- Fabricated FISA court applications
- Strzok-Page FBI emails

- The hacked DNC server ... not inspected by the FBI

- Destroying Hillary and company smartphones with hammers
- CloudStrike control of DNC server (in Ukraine?)

- Using BleachBit on Democrat hard drives
- Big Clinton donations to McCabe’s wife’s campaign

- 20% of US uranium ceded to Russia during Obama’s term

- $150 million donation by Russia to Clinton Foundation

- $500,000 fee to Bill Clinton for a half-hour speech in Moscow

- Obama’s hot-mic comment about being more flexible once reelected
- The Mueller Report
- Biden denying $1 billion in loans until Ukraine prosecutor is fired

- $3+ million to Hunter Biden from Ukraine’s Burisma

- $1.5 billion “investment” by China in Hunter Biden’s hedge fund

- Airplane manifests of Bill Clinton's 28 trips to Epstein’s Lolita island 

- $300,000 in marked bills to George Papadopoulos
- The “honeypot” used by Stefan Halper to compromise Papadopoulos

Donald Trump

- Trump’s  invite to Putin that, if he had Hillary’s emails, show us

- The 7/25 phone call transcript with Zelensky

- A Russia oligarch bought one of his condos in 2008 for $8 million

- The Stormy Daniels payoff check
- “Emolument” payments by foreigners to Trump resorts
- The 9/11 release of military aid to the Ukraine
- The Mueller Report
- $200,000 of pro-Trump Facebook ads by Russia
- His orange hair
- His long red ties

Squeezing Lemons Dry

The Democrats thought that they were going to take down Trump with the Mueller investigation. This elaborate bit of public smearing did help them to take back the House in 2018. (It was not, according the Dems and their media, pre-existing conditions healthcare.) Then the Mueller report came out like a wet fart.  It could not find a way to lie about Trump or his campaign conspiring or cooperating with Russia. All this band of desperadoes could concoct was that Russia interfered with our election by buying a few hundred thousand dollars of ads on Facebook. They never even inspected the DNC computer server that was supposedly hacked by Putin’s posse. And Mueller’s 18 rabid lawyers completely ignored clear evidence of Hillary’s collusion with Russia.

And, as to Trump’s obstruction of justice in the investigation of his non-crime, all the Mueller team of 18 liberal lawyers could do was to punt ... but still weave a insidious tapestry of lies, half truths and convenient omissions in their final report. They did their very best to make lemonade out of the few lemons they found. And these lemons have been squeezed dry and then squeezed some more. Hollywood, pretty much all our media outlets and now House committees are force feeding the American public some very weak citrus concoctions (movies, plays, readings, op-eds, hearings) in a pitiful bit of desperation.

 Somehow, all this seems quite pointed but pointless.

The Phone Call

Here is a hypothetical secured phone call sometime in the future from the head of Norway’s intelligence agency (NIS) to President Trump:

Trump: Hello ...

NIS: President Trump?

Trump: Yes ...

NIS: Sir, I am the head of the Norway Intelligence Service and I have some very important news for you  ...

Trump: Yes?

NIS: Sir, we have recently recovered a body off of our northern coast who had a letter in his pocket to Putin marked “for your eyes only” which requests a wire transfer of $50 million to a bank account in Cyprus which we have traced to the head of your FBI. We have verified that this man was a Ukrainian operative with close ties to Russian intelligence and he had recently visited Washington, DC with a trip to the DNC. We believe that the head of your FBI and at least three of her lieutenants also visited the DNC shortly thereafter ... and that they have been compromised. We think that this is a serious threat to your national security.

Trump: How sure are you of what you just told me?

NIS: 100%

Trump: I can’t say how important this information is to the United States. We will not forget your help in this matter. Goodbye and thank you ...

NIS: Goodbye ...


Now, according to George Stephanopoulos and much of the US media, Trump should immediately notify the head of his FBI of this phone call. I know that this is only a hypothetical, but so was Stephanopoulos’.

Should he?

Assange

Julian Assange was ejected from the Ecuadoran embassy in London yesterday ... and will likely soon be extradited to the United States. A heated debate is now taking place whether Assange is a good actor for what was revealed about Hillary Clinton and the DNC in Wikileaks posts ... or a bad actor for colluding with Chelsea Manning for dumping nation security secrets at this same website.

Simple solution: Have President Trump give Assange the Medal of Freedom ... right before he  places him in front of a firing squad. (Same for Edward Snowden ... except no medal.)

It’s Mueller Time!

Today might be the day ...

Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s staff is departing for Greener-New-Deal pastures ... and the world is waiting with debated breath for his report that is supposed to finally drive a well-done steak through Donald Trump’s non-black heart.

Mueller has been charged with determining if Trump and his campaign colluded with Russia to overturn the results of the last presidential election ... and, subsequently, obstructed justice in the investigation of this offense. Mueller is clearly a dichotomy. As a former head of the FBI under Bush ‘43 and Barack Obama, many swear to Mueller’s apolitical and impeccable integrity. While others, like myself, feel that Mueller is in the vanguard of a slow-motion coup against a sitting president. Absolutely shameful!

Why do I feel this way? Because during the last two years enough evidence has presented itself to suggest exactly the opposite ... that it was Hillary Clinton and her henchmen who conspired with Russia to affect the outcome of the 2016 election. Through a cut-out  law firm, the DNC paid for the infamous “PeePee Dossier,” a manufactured and unsubstantiated document which attempted to tie Trump and Company with the Ruskies. It was used illegally to wiretap the Trump campaign and collude with the main stream media to constantly besmirch Trump and destroy many around him.

If Mueller had been an honorable prosecutor, he would have, in the first months of his investigation, swung to investigation the obvious culprits in this drama, Peter Strzok, Bruce Orr, James Comey, Lisa Page, Rod Rosenstein, John Brennan, Loretta Lynch, Andrew McCabe, Sally Yates and possibly dozens of others in this Deep-State cabal who came very close to pulling off this disgraceful spook coup.

Many of the innocent have been smeared by Mueller and his thugs ... and all the truly giilty are walking ... a forever stain on our Democratic governance.
