Bette Midler under fire for racists Tweets about Melania Trump
Once in awhile one of these elitists who like to lecture everybody on ethical and moral grounds will open up their mouths and give us a true glimpse into their souls. Such was the case last night with Bette Midler, who was driven to show us how she really felt about people who do not look or sound like her when she watched the First Lady speak.
Here is more:
Entertainer Bette Midler was ripped on social media after mocking Melania Trump‘s accent during the first lady’s Republican National Committee speech from the Rose Garden late Tuesday and for referring to her as an “illegal alien.”
This is ironic, of course, because Trump supporters have been labeled as racists, Xenophobes, and white supremacists by people like Bette Midler for four years now. Actually the attacks go back even further than that, the same was said about anybody who opposed Barack Obama.
Here are her Tweets:
Bette Midler walked the comment back today, saying she never should have said what she did. That is all fine and dandy but a person does not just say something like that if they do not believe it, this is how she really feels about immigrants.
People like Bette Midler, and I am sure there are many more just like her on the left, look at groups of people, such as people who look or sound differently than they do, as voting blocks. They assume that the people they put into these groups all act and think the same way but when one of them steps out from the box they have put them in you find out how they really feel.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic we are still dealing with remote learning in many States. Once upon a time the left frowned on homeschooling because the parents had more control over their children’s education, but this new idea of schooling from home instead of homeschooling allows the teachers to gain a small amount of access into what is going on in a child’s home. In other words they can spy on Americans in their homes.
Does that sound far-fetched to you? In Baltimore, according to this story, a teacher was holding a Zoom call with students and their parents and after the meeting was over the teacher called the police because the student had a BB gun in his room. Here is more:
A Baltimore County, Md., fifth-grader got a visit from the police after his teacher called to report that she had seen a BB gun on the wall behind the student during a class video call.
The boy’s mother, Courtney Lancaster Sperry, a Navy veteran, is warning other parents about a lack of privacy during virtual classes after her son was targeted by a teacher who saw what she thought was a scary-looking gun hanging on the wall of the boy’s bedroom.
“While my son was on a Zoom call, a ‘concerned parent’ and subsequently two teachers saw his properly stowed and mounted Red Ryder BB gun and one other BB gun in the background,” Sperry wrote on Facebook. “He was not holding them and never intentionally showed them on video. In fact, he was oblivious that they could even be seen in the background.”
After the teacher reported the gun, the principal, Jason Feiler, decided to call the police to report the guns and ask that the home be searched.
And I thought it was bad when enough when Wisconsin ordered State employees to wear masks at home while on Zoom calls, but that does not compare to having people spying on you at home and calling the police on law abiding citizens who have done nothing wrong.
But how did the principal justify this? The principle basically said if you are learning from home it is an extension of the classroom and guns are not allowed at school, therefor apparently they felt the family was breaking the law.
The principal and the teacher cited a rule stating that students may not bring guns to school and claimed it extended to virtual classes as well
This increased access into the homes of Americans is sure to be seen as a welcome side effect of the pandemic for the authoritarians on the left, and we are seeing with all the regulations and orders they have been handing down that it is going to be extremely hard for them to give back any of the power they have usurped. If you think this is going to end after the election in November you are sadly mistaken, this is about more than just one election…

New York Democrat claims Andrew Cuomo under-counted COVID-19 nursing home deaths by at least 2,000
When last we left Andrew Cuomo and his nursing home saga we learned that the deaths in nursing homes due to the Governor’s nursing home directive had been under-counted and the real total was much higher than the 6,600 we were told.
Despite Andrew Cuomo having investigated and cleared himself some New York politicians, many Democrats included, have been calling for a special independent investigation into the Governor’s deadly order. We are now beginning to learn more about how deadly this directive was because a Democrat in New York is claiming that at a minimum the death count was under-counted by 2,000, here is more:
During an interview broadcast on Friday’s “CNN Newsroom,” New York State Sen. James Skoufis (D) said that he thinks New York’s numbers underrepresent the number of coronavirus deaths in nursing homes and he believes that “at a minimum, we’re talking probably a couple of thousand additional deaths.”
Skoufis said, “My gut sense is, at a minimum, we’re talking probably a couple of thousand additional deaths.”
The discrepancy is due to the fact that New York did not count people who died in the hospital after being sent there from a nursing home, this of course would lower the number although the patient had to have been infected while in the nursing home. So while Senator Skoufis might be saying publicly this is a “gut sense” we have to believe that he, and the other politicians in New York, know exactly what the number is.
Andrew Cuomo is downplaying his role in these deaths, blaming everybody from Donald Trump to the nursing homes themselves, but he can not be let off the hook for his bad decision and for the ensuing cover up.

We already know about the cozy relationship Bill Clinton shared with Jeffrey Epstein and now it turns out that Hillary Clinton might have been pretty close to Ghislaine Maxwell. According to this story from the left wing Daily Beast, the former Secretary of State gave the now-imprisoned former madam and child-trafficker’s nephew a job in the State Department. Here is more:
Now the celebrity tabloid OK! Magazine is reporting that ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton “gifted” Maxwell’s nephew, Alexander Djerassi, a position within her department when he was just out of college and gave him “special treatment.”
A State Department spokesperson told The Daily Beast that Djerassi served as a “Staff Assistant” from May 2009 to June 2012.
The report also appears to reference Djerassi’s LinkedIn profile, which lists his role as chief of staff for the “Office of the Assistant Secretary of State, Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs” from May 2011 to June 2012. Djerassi served as special assistant to the office from May 2009 to May 2011, his online profile says.
But wait, there is more:
From September 2007 to June 2008, Djerassi was a policy associate for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. He listed his job duties as such: “Researched and drafted memos, briefings, and policy papers for candidate, senior staff, and news media on wide range of domestic and foreign policy issues. Prepared for more than 20 debates.”
And according to the article he also worked on Hillary Clinton’s 2016 Presidential campaign as a “national security policy planner.”
Well, it sure looks like he reaped the rewards from his Aunt’s hard work for the Clinton’s in their dealings with Jeffrey Epstein. It must be a coincidence, I am sure that Hillary Clinton did not know what was going on in the plane and on the island despite her husband’s frequent visits. I am also sure the former President did not have a role in persuading Hillary Clinton to hire Djerassi to show his appreciation…

We live in this silly era where major league sports teams are putting cardboard cutouts in the stands and piping in crowd noise to simulate live crowds while the authoritarian lock downs prohibit the plebeians from attending the usual circuses.
And speaking of circuses, the DNC is not immune to the silliness. They have been caught faking supporters for Kamala Harris last night. Here is more:
Kamala Harris delivered her DNC virtual convention speech on Wednesday night from somewhere.
After she was done there was dead silence and then some women only appeared on a screen and she waved at them.
It did not look like they could see her because they did not react.But then somebody noticed the crowd was faked!
Here is the picture:
As I wrote, this whole notion of faking crowds to try to provide some type of realism is just plain silly. But what is funny about this is that apparently the DNC could not find 30 different people willing to admit they are Kamala Harris supporters and had to duplicate a few of them.

FBI lawyer pleads guilty in Spygate scandal
Last week it was reported that an ex-FBI lawyer was set to plead guilty to falsifying a document related to the Spygate scandal and today he did just that. Here is more:
Former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith pleaded guilty in federal court in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday to making false statements by altering an email related to former Trump campaign aide Carter Page.
This was not just any document that Mr. Clinesmith doctored either, this document was used to illegitimately procure a FISA warrant to spy on the Trump campaign. But the story goes even deeper than that because this man was on Robert Mueller’s team which was investigating the Russian collusion scandal all the while knowing about the ill-gotten warrant.
His sentencing is not until December so hopefully in the meantime more dominoes will start to fall.

Here is Muse performing “United States of Eurasia” in 2010.
According to this story we got a second amendment victory from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled that California’s ban on “high capacity” magazines is unconstitutional. Here is more:
The 9th U.S Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower-level court’s decision that ruled California’s ban on high capacity ammunition magazines is unconstitutional, according to documents published Friday.
Since 2016, California gun owners were unable to possess large-capacity magazines (LCM) defined as magazines built to contain more than 10 rounds.
Timeout. Calling a magazine that holds over 10 rounds “high capacity” is just plain silly , as we will see below, but I digress. Here is more on the decision:
Appellate Judge Kenneth Lee, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, wrote the majority opinion in which he said the ban on magazine capacity “struck at the core right of law-abiding citizens to self-defend by banning LCM possession within the home.”
“California’s near-categorical ban of LCMs strikes at the core of the Second Amendment-the right to armed self-defense. Armed self-defense is a fundamental right rooted in tradition and the text of the Second Amendment,” Lee wrote.
Lee went on to say the law imposed a “substantial burden” on the “right to self-defense,” noting the law criminalized magazines that come standard in most handguns.
Judge Lee got to the crux of the matter, this so-called high capacity magazine ban would have made most handguns illegal and I believe that this was nothing more than an attempt at doing just that. It is either that or the people who are writing the laws have no idea what they are talking about…

Spygate: FBI lawyer to plead guilty to falsifying document used to obtain FISA warrant
For several days now Donald Trump and Bill Barr have been teasing the release of the long-awaited Spygate investigation report and now it looks like the first domino is about to fall. According to this story a former FBI lawyer is set to plead guilty to falsifying a document. Here is more:
A former F.B.I. lawyer intends to plead guilty after he was charged with falsifying a document as part of a deal with prosecutors conducting their own criminal inquiry of the Russia investigation, according his lawyer and court documents made public on Friday.
The lawyer, Kevin Clinesmith, 38, who was assigned to the Russia investigation, plans to admit that he altered an email from the C.I.A. that investigators relied on to seek renewed court permission in 2017 for a secret wiretap on the former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, who had at times provided information to the spy agency.
He did not alter just any old document, he altered THE document which was used as justification by the FBI to obtain a FISA warrant to spy on the Trump campaign. And this is also not just any old lawyer either, this man was on Robert Mueller’s team investigating Russian collusion! He both falsified evidence and served on the investigation knowing it was based on faulty intelligence because he was the responsible party.
He is claiming he only altered the document to clarify it for his colleagues, evidently they are not as smart as he is, but is anybody really buying that excuse…other than those who want to believe in the Russian/Trump conspiracy?
Hopefully this is only the first domino to fall and there will be others tumbling behind him.
