China admits Hunter Biden Connection

And, on a related note, Communist China gives $2,000,000,000 per year to the Vatican.  Pocket change compared to their total expenditures of influence money and state control of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church in China.  Anyone note Bergoglio’s silence on Hong Kong.  $2billion can buy a lot of silence.  A Hell of a lot.

 

 

 

NURSE EXECUTES PATIENT. ANOTHER COVID RELATED DEATH.

BUT IT’S ALL GOOD, ‘CUZ IT WAS HER HUSBAND.

 

She lied to her husband so he wouldn’t fight death.

She gave him Ativan so he wouldn’t fight death.

She gave him Morphine so she wouldn’t fight death.

She didn’t bring up the house and the life insurance policy so he wouldn’t fight death.

And she’s a victim?

And then she tells us all to wear masks!

“Are you ready to be at peace?” she recalled asking him on November 23.  ‘He said, ‘Uh-huh.’ And I said, ‘OK. Mom’s fine. She’s back at the house. She’s going to stay with me.’ Because I knew he would keep fighting if I told him my mom had already died. And so they started giving him morphine and Ativan. I turned him over and I rubbed his back. I said, ‘I love you.’ He said, ‘I love you.’ And I said, “You’re going to go now, OK? You can finally be at peace.'”

THEY’RE NOT YOUR CHILDREN ANYMORE.

TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME MAKES LYING UNAVOIDABLE.

Is Sidney Powell “unleashing the Kraken” or unleashing the crackpot?

Is Sidney Powell “Unleashing the Kraken”; or, unleashing the Crackpot?”

I’ve often repeated my respect – even admiration – for Ms. Powell, a seasoned attorney who is representing President Trump in his efforts to challenge the supposed election results.

She’s displayed what I have characterized as calm bravery in her presentations.  As a trial lawyer for the last three decades or so, I still get tight in the gut when I have to try a case.  Even more so when I’m preparing to try one.

Losing a case is never fun; you never get used to the prospect.  There’s a group of lawyers who don’t go to court.   They are called Not Trial Lawyers.

One tightrope that a trial attorney has to walk is governing their zeal for the cause they champion.  Failing to do that puts the lawyer in the position of proving more than he has to – and, what’s worse is proving something that he can’t.

If you lose credibility with the jury – or they think you lied to them – you are (to use a legal phrase) toasted.  They’ll throw you out on your ear faster than a Democrat can say, “I love abortion!

Sidney Powell has made many extraordinary claims, assertions, and accusations.  In the last week, I think I’ve watched a dozen or so interviews and pressers.  But thus far, she’s not provided any evidence.  Waiving a handful of papers in the air is not evidence.  That’s a prop.

All the time, I get clients who want me to level lofty accusations.  My response is always: “I’ll say anything you want as long as I can prove it.”  I’m a real wet blanket that way.

Equally important in making an effective presentation is timing.  It’s like comedy, only way more serious.  Way more.  I don’t have any inside track on her thinking.  She may have this all figured out.  But at some point, she needs to put up or shut up.  She has failed – and now refused  – to provide support for her accusations.

Tucker Carlson seems to have  commitment to speaking the truth even when it doesn’t fit the narrative he might like.  He invited Ms. Powell to come on his show a number of times, even offering to give her the whole hour.  The only caveat was to show evidence.  She did more than decline; she refused.  When the show persisted in the invite, she told them to leave her alone.  I doubt she’s going to find a more sympathetic forum.  Unless, of course, you include the minds of people content with wishful thinking.

It’s hard enough to win a fight even when you have truth on your side.  It’s darn near impossible when all you got is a bucket of wishful thinking.  If Ms. Powell has in fact “unleashed the Kraken” as she has claims, the time seems right to at least show us a picture.  And not one of those grainy Bigfoot ones.

Of course, Ms. Powell has put herself at great professional risk.  More importantly, if she doesn’t deliver the goods, she has managed to deepen the divide, heighten the hostility, and further corrode confidence in the one process – the vote – that is the bedrock of the former Republic.

So, the nation watches Sidney Powell.  For her, there is no middle ground.  She’ left herself no room to walk it back.  That is either incredibly brave or incredibly stupid.  She is poised to be a Joan of Arc figure if she pulls this off.  Conversely, she runs the risk of becoming mockingly eponymous just as another woman who was close to a president did: just another woman who can’t keep her mouth shut.

P.S.  Sidney Powell responds to Tucker Carlson.  Let’s hope she can deliver. I, for one, would love to see the Kraken released!

 

DO WHAT YOU’RE TOLD.

The end game the whole time.

Interesting when a so-called medical expert is characterizing a cold virus  in the context of a country’s “independent spirit.”  Maybe, just maybe, the vaccine will fix that.  That would explain his little chuckle at the the end.

Is it too soon to review 2020?

2020 has been quite a year. We caved like a bunch of school girls to a seasonal flu like obedient little serfs, isolated our elderly in hotbeds of disease and contagions, denied them the care and comfort of family. Then we have a pretender to the papal throne say he was all down with civil unions because Sodomites deserve a family or something. On a related note he elevated the new Archbishop of DC (Wilton Gregory) to Cardinal, following in the footsteps of fellow pervs McCarrick and Wuerl. Maybe they can form a civil union and call it the Unholy Trinity. Then we get treated to a coup with nary a shot being fired, treating the US Constitution with the same warmth as we’re able to show our elderly. About all the good I can see in 2020 is hindsight.

My enemy’s enemy is my friend.

Bergoglio Fears the Calm

Pope Criticizes People Who Complain About Pandemic Restrictions

Bloomberg reports that Papal stand-in, Jorge Bergoglio called for “patience and solidarity” so long as you agree with him.  He went on to criticize “those who complain about restrictive measures during the coronavirus pandemic.”

It only took seven years, but he’s finally paying attention to me.

While he noted that “[W]e have an increase in numbers of those who mercilessly profited from the misfortune of others, those who think only about themselves,” indicating that he might be calling out Bill Gates, Tony Fauci, and Jeff Bezos, all of whom have profited wildly from the ColdvidFlu hype, but then added “who [also] protested or complained about certain restrictive measures, unable to accept that not everyone has the same abilities and resources to face the pandemic” which, of course, none of the three of them did.

Seems like the last time a leader called for “change we can believe in”, it wasn’t such a good thing. 

“We need change. The pandemic brought our organizational and developmental models into a crisis; it exposed many injustices, the troubling silence and social and health failures, subjecting a great number of our brothers to the processes of social exclusion and degradation,” the pope said.
