Democratic presidential front-runner Joseph R. Biden, who has denounced President Trump’s efforts against Central American asylum-seekers, vigorously opposed resettling as refugees South Vietnamese who had helped the U.S. during the war.

The Washington Examiner reported Thursday, citing records from the administration of President Gerald R. Ford, that as a U.S. senator, Mr. Biden tried to deny refuge to hundreds of thousands fleeing the imminent North Vietnamese victory and likely Communist persecution.

Mr. Biden’s arguments about refugees reverse what he and other Democrats now insist are the only moral stances, saying that the U.S. had “no obligation, moral or otherwise, to evacuate foreign nationals,” the Examiner reported.

Former New York City Police Department Commissioner Bernard Kerik on Monday said that the Trump administration whistleblower was a “covert operative” engaged in an “attempted coup” against the president.

The whistleblower came to national attention after filing an official complaint about President Donald Trump’s now-infamous phone call with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky in which Trump asked his Ukrainian counterpart to investigate Hunter Biden, the son of former vice president and current Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.

Letter From Australian Official Emerges That Casts Doubt On Report From New York Times

Via Billy

William Barr, attorney general nominee for U.S. President Donald Trump, smiles during a Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Tuesday, Jan. 15, 2019. Barr says he'd let Special Counsel Robert Mueller "complete his work" and that he'd provide Congress and the public as much of the findings in the Russia probe as possible

A letter emerged late on Monday from the Australian government that directly disputed the accuracy of a New York Times report that claimed that President Donald Trump “pushed” Australia to help Attorney General William Barr investigate the origins of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation in an attempt to “discredit” the investigation in what The Times claimed was an example of Trump “using high-level diplomacy to advance his personal political interests.”

The letter, reported by Nine News Australia’s Kerrie Yaxley, is dated May 28, 2019, from Australian Ambassador Joe Hockey to Barr, and states:

Some Thoughts on Climate Hysteria

Via David


Imagine for a moment that you believed, truly believed, that mankind’s CO2 emissions were going to doom the planet in a decade or so.  Not warm things up a bit… I mean doom all higher life, if not the entire biosphere.
 
 

[Jerry Nadler: Climate Change Will Reduce Life to Bacteria / 0:56]
 
Do I believe Nadler believes this?  F*ck no, not for an attosecond (from what I’ve read he’s going to be primaried by someone even farther Left and is obviously trying to outflank that potential rival).  Nor does Obama with his new beach house.  Nor do DiCaprio or any of the others.  Al Gore is laughing his ass off as he flogs his bishop over his bank balance, as are most of the Warmist scientists on the lucrative lecture circuit.  They’re virtue signaling at best, and Machiavellian-power-grabbing at worst.  After all, the mask is off – as I’ve noted in many of my linkfests, the Warmists now openly call for a complete remaking of the economy and a shift to “enlightened” Philosopher-King rule and worldwide Socialism.

Whistleblower Complaint Form & Reddit Quarantines Conservative Views

 Intel Community Secretly Gutted Requirement Of First-Hand Whistleblower Knowledge

In The Federalist, Sean Davis reports that the intelligence community secretly revised the formal whistleblower complaint form in August 2019 to conveniently eliminate the requirement of direct, first-hand knowledge of wrongdoing. The new version of the form, which was not made public until after the complaint about President Trump’s phone call with the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was made public, “allows employees to file whistleblower complaints even if they have zero direct knowledge of underlying evidence” and only heard about alleged wrongdoing from others.

 One of the most important online communities of Trump supporters is effectively being destroyed, conservative social media star Carpe Donktum writes in Human Events. What was once a vibrant digital meeting place on Reddit, known as “The_Donald,” is being “quarantined” by the site’s administrators. “Reddit’s strategy is transparent. It has established a template that other social media companies can model to effectively silence conservatives. This strategy slowly turns down the volume on conservative users and platforms instead of banning them outright. By breaking their censorship into varied opaque components, it becomes more difficult to pinpoint, challenging to prove, and nearly impossible to oppose.”

Graham: Whistleblower Complaint ‘A Political Setup’— ‘Salem Witch Trials Have More Due Process Than This’


Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) declared on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that the Salem witch trials had “more due process” than the so-called whistleblower’s complaint against President Donald Trump.

Partial transcript as follows:

GRAHAM: Right.

BRENNAN: The president in this call record says–

GRAHAM: Right.
BRENNAN: –“Would you do us a favor?” He brings up debunked myth about the DNC server and then he brings up the Biden family and the need for an investigation. He repeatedly lays that out. And also the aid package is mentioned.

GRAHAM: Right.

BRENNAN: You have no problem with any of this?

Pollak: Democrats Are Meddling in the 2020 Election

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) made a colossal mistake this week by agreeing to an impeachment inquiry before she had seen the transcript of President Donald Trump’s conversation with President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine.

It was a strategic mistake, because the evidence contradicted her claims. But it was also a terrible mistake for the country, because it cast the fairness of the 2020 presidential election into serious doubt.

A Few Quick Thoughts in Response to A Heavy Heart

 


If you believe for one minute that perp walks are coming from this IG Report, I’ve got some Oceanfront property in Arizona I’ll sell you cheap. No one of importance will ever be arrested nor imprisoned and it’s foolish to think otherwise. These are dreams that are keeping us from taking action against this evil that faces us.

We are truly on our own. No IG or AG or President Trump will do Squat.

I’d like to be more optimistic but we can’t keep fooling ourselves.

It’s going to take Blood, Sweat and Tears to take our country back and you best get your minds wrapped around that.

The Civil War is here, we just aren’t participating in it. Evil is winning, because we do nothing.
Yes keep preparing. But I urge you to start making plans to take this battle to them that they so desperately seem to be seeking.

Understanding Faulkner

 
A Review of: On the Prejudices, Predilections, and Firm Beliefs of William Faulkner. By Cleanth Brooks. Baton Rouge, Louisiana: Louisiana State University Press, 1987. 162 pp.

 Of that generation, Andrew Lytle observed, it “was the last moment of equilibrium . . . the last time a man could know who he was. Or where he was from. It was the last time a man, without having to think, could say what was right and what was wrong.”

When I think of the state of literary criticism in the academy today, I think of a New Yorker cartoon someone has put up in the liberal arts coffee lounge at Clemson. It shows a fool, in cap and bells, juggling before the king. The caption reads: “In France they consider him a creative genius.”

Underneath someone has written: “Does this refer to Jerry Lewis or Derrida?” For the uninitiated, Jacques Derrida is the French critic who founded deconstruction, an arcane methodology that regards written texts as primarily self-referential wordplay. Whatever may be said for the metaphysics of this approach, it, along with structuralism and other recent forays into “critical theory,” is frequently more difficult to understand than the creative works it is meant to explicate. Glossolalia may or may not have its place in religion; in literary exegesis it is deadly.

How different things were when the Southern “new critics” were running the show.

Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff is connected to a Ukrainian arms dealer. Is this why he’s willing to lie in front of the nation when accusing President Trump of crimes?

Adam Schiff is arguably the biggest liar in Congress…. ever.  He now leads the House Intelligence Committee and this past week oversaw the Intel Committee where he attempted to align President Trump with some ‘trumped’ up allegations concerning his phone call with the President of the Ukraine.  Schiff lied in his opening remarks and claimed numerous falsehoods about the President’s call in spite of the transcript being provided the day before.

The Democrats know that there is no impeachable offense.  What they intend to do is to use the investigation to look into every aspect of Trump’s life and try to make dirt out of things unrelated to his talk with the Ukrainian president.  This “impeachment investigation” is a political act to help their candidate win the next presidential election.  

Democrats themselves describe it in this way. For example, here is how Rob Kall, the director of one of the progressive Democrat websites, described the purpose of the investigation:

House Democrats voted Thursday to fast-track an electronic medical records system that would serve illegal immigrants, something America’s veterans have been seeking for years.

The House passed the bill on a largely party line vote of 230-184, American Military News reported.

Only two Republican congressmen supported the bill — Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania and Fred Upton of Michigan.

The proposal has yet to be considered by the Republican-controlled Senate.

Intel Community Uploaded Altered Whistleblower Form 2 Days Before Complaint Released to Public

View image on Twitter

If you were to file a whistleblower report with the intelligence community inspector general, up until Sept. 24, the conduct you were blowing the whistle on officially had to be witnessed firsthand.

The “Disclosure of Urgent Concern” form — the channel by which one reported such things — specifically stated that any kind of second-hand information about alleged wrongdoing wouldn’t do.
This appears to have changed at 4:25 p.m. on Sept. 24, when a new form was uploaded to the Director of National Intelligence’s website.

On the new form, individuals who “heard about [wrongdoing] from others” can also report it.

Stockholm, Sweden


When Elisabeth Asbrink invites you to visit her in Stockholm, Sweden, be sure to wear your very best socks.

“I hate it when people walk into my home in their shoes. In that way I am extremely Swedish,” she said. “We find it very, very rude.”

Removing your shoes before entering a home is a universal norm in Sweden, Asbrink says — but not a lesson her immigrant parents, born in Budapest and London, ever taught her.

“When they went to the homes of colleagues and friends they would dress up, then had to have dinner in their socks. Which they found very strange,” Asbrink recalled. “They believed that it was an old tradition, from when Sweden was a peasant country full of earth and mud.”

Zeb & Sam on Liberty

Zebulon Vance, governor of NC, stood up for civil rights in 1862 when he learned that forty North Carolina citizens had been taken from their homes and put into a military prison on suspicion of disloyalty. He wrote to President Jefferson Davis:

“As Governor, it is my duty to see that the citizens of this State are protected in whatever rights pertain to them, and, if necessary, I will call out the State Militia to protect them and uphold the principles of Anglo-Saxon liberty – trial by jury; liberty of speech; freedom of the press; the privileges of Parliament habeas corpus; the right to petition and bear arms; subordination of the military to civil authority; prohibition of ex post facto laws.”

Sam J. Ervin, Jr., . . . stood up for the rule of law and Bill of Rights in his dealings with President Richard M. Nixon and his aides in 1973-74. In a speech to the student body of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1973, Ervin said: “So long as I have a mind to think, a tongue to speak, and a heart to love my country, I shall deny that the Constitution confers any arbitrary power on any President, or empowers any President to convert George Washington’s America into Caesar’s Rome.”
