    Please sit down and have smelling salts at hand!

    Van Jones has, publicly, blasphemered (neologism) on the Jake Tapper show. 

    He had the unmitigated gall to say positive words about the President. His statement was, 

    “I think it’s really unfortunate because Donald Trump, and I get beat up by liberals every time I say it but I keep saying it, he has done good stuff for the Black community,” Jones said. “Opportunity Zone stuff, Black college stuff, I worked with him on criminal stuff, I saw Donald Trump have African American people, formally incarcerated, in the White House, embraced them, treated them well. There is a side to Donald Trump that I think he does not get enough credit for.”

    There’s a new ad putting Joe Biden in a Weekend at Bernie’s scenario. It’s quite funny.


    Admiral Akbar errr, Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot has decreed a curfew for all non-essential businesses. Everything other than grocery stores, pharmacies and take out restaurants have to close by 10 pm and all onsite liquor sales must stop by 9 pm. Because science says the Chinese lung AIDS spreads faster after 9 pm.

    Coyote Wranglin’

    Incumbent Dar’shun Kendrick is running this year for re-election to the Georgia House of Representatives, District 93. Ms. Kendrick has been sitting in the Georgia House of Representatives since 2011. From her official biography (italicised content, added):

    ‘She current (not my typo, that’s the word as spelled in her official Georgia House Rep biography) serves as the ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Non-Civil Committee, the Juvenile Justice Committee, Interstate Cooperation Committee and the Small Business Development Committee. She also serves as chair of the Georgia Legislative Black Caucus’ Special Committee on HBCUs and co-chair of the Georgia Future Caucus, a bipartisan group of legislators under the age of 40. In 2018, her peers elected her as the Chief Deputy Whip for the House Democratic Caucus. In 2019, she was appointed to the National Black Caucus of State Legislators Telecommunications, Science and Technology Committee. Additionally, in 2019, she started the first bipartisan Technology, Innovation & Entrepreneurship Caucus of the Georgia House of Representatives.’

    During her Summer vacations, 38 year old Ms. Kendrick enjoys piddling around with her other jobs as a corporate attorney and an investment advisor. Free time is dedicated to starting all manner of minority owned and served businesses. Ms. Dar’Shun Kendrick is one highly educated, motivated, informed up and comer! Er . . . maybe?

    Last nights Presidential Debate showed us the depth of Kendrick’s educated outrage when it comes to children, or immigration, or hating Donald Trump. During the debate segment on immigration, President Trump responded to accusations of recklessly wrenching children from their mother’s bosoms by noting how not all of the currently (that is how it is supposed to be spelled) unclaimed children brought into the US of A are toted in with their parents. Many are transported over the border as the cargo of cartels and coyotes. GA State Representative/Corporate Attorney/Investment Advisor/Super Democrat Chick Dar’Shun Kendrick was aghast at such a proclamation, and tweeted her befuddled disgust:

    From images of Wiley Coyote, catapults and canines doing their best PhotoShopped stork impressions, selfless people have been sacrificing their own time in effort to educate the poor thing. She’s not alone, however. Other experts on the Mexican border situation – people who know walls won’t work and putting children into cages is the worst thing to happen to children since Truman Capote – also seem to be ignorant of the term coyote, as used to describe somebody paid to smuggle human beings from Mexico into the United States of America.

    Sickening and David Hogg . . . that’s harmonic. If you’d like to feel like a genius this evening, click here for an article on the Daily Wire where those who tweet while daring to keep ‘coyote‘ oppressed via monolithic definition processes are justifiably being exposed, for our pleasure. Some of the responses to these angry declarations of disgust seem to be balancing out the comical idiocy with comedic genius . . . there’s hope! 😄

Meanwhile, two of the largest newspapers in the Tarheel state have pulled their planned endorsement of Cunningham. His opponent, Republican Thom Tillis is within striking distance, with most polls showing the race even or within the margin of error.

    Can anyone tell me why we’re still funding NPR? Or PBS for that matter. Admittedly, there was a time when both entities delivered a quality product and filled a necessary role in this country. Of late, and I mean the last 20ish (at least) years both entities have devolved from competent, if slightly left leaning, outlets to all out partisan hack factories. The latest evidence of this is the refusal of NPR to even mention the Biden email scandal.

    Anyone remember Jean Carroll? She’s the nutcase woman that claimed that Donald Trump raped her at a department store in New York City back in the 1990s. She sued, claiming Trump defamed her when he called her a liar while denying the claims. Anyway, the Justice Department has stepped in on that case. The official view is that the President was acting in an official capacity and is therefore immune from those types of suit. Not being an attorney, I can’t say if it’s true or no. But what I can say with a high level of confidence is that if the judge approves of ther move, the suit is dead.

  • President Trump’s 60 Minutes Interview

    President Trump’s 60 Minutes Interview

    He did it, the President has dumped about 37 minutes of tape from the CBS interview.

    https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1319298695683334144?s=20

    On Tuesday, Lesley Stahl along with other members of her CBS theater group arrived at the White House to film an infotainment piece featuring President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. The edited performance is to be premiered during this Sunday’s broadcast of 60 Minutes – one of America’s premier infotainment programs projecting the image of an impartial news source. President Trump ended the performance earlier than what had been scheduled when he grew weary of his truth and Stahl’s script not jiving with one another. A producer tried to smooth things over, move on to the next Act and Scene after things grew heated between Trump and Stahl, suggesting it was time to bring in the Vice President. Nope, Trump and Pence would not be participating in a Walk and Talk with Stahl. The President was done humoring hostiles in his own home.

    After the actors, director, hair, make up and wardrobe personnel in CBS’ employ had departed the White House, President Trump tweeted a threat to release the interview, uncut and unedited. To generously provide us all a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the upcoming 60 Minutes stage production. This morning, CBS released a 90 second teaser of the extravaganza they intend to broadcast during this Sunday’s episode of 60 Minutes. The President responded by dumping just under 40 minutes of the taped episode, free of advertising or editing.

    https://www.facebook.com/DonaldTrump/videos/350524406214941/

    CBS is feeling a lil chafey in the tender bits over this action and released a statement:

    “The White House’s unprecedented decision to disregard their agreement with CBS News and release their footage will not deter ’60 Minutes’ from providing its full, fair and contextual reporting which presidents have participated in for decades,” the network said. “’60 Minutes’, the most-watched news program on television, is widely respected for bringing its hallmark fairness, deep reporting and informative context to viewers each week. Few journalists have the presidential interview experience Lesley Stahl has delivered over her decades as one of the premier correspondents in America and we look forward to audiences seeing her third interview with President Trump and subsequent interview with Vice President Pence this weekend.”

    60 Minutes has formally said the White House agreed only to record the interview for its archives and said it has a history of interviewing presidential candidates and asking important questions in the run-up to elections, whatever that is supposed to mean.

    When’s the last time you saw President Trump do a sit down, one on one interview with a man who works in the infotainment industry? Casting females in the part of Presidential Grand Inquisitor with Trump is so transparent. Critics from other infotainment entities would undoubtedly portray the antagonist in their tale as ‘caddish’ should he dare speak sharply to an actor wearing a skirt. The females jumping up and down with glee as they get assigned roles simply because of their gender seem particularly doltish. Even the simplest of gals on the legendary Casting Couch knew it was their body, not their mind, that got ’em the good jobs.

    Stop trying to make sense of the nonsensical seems like the best option, here. Lemme go pop some corn, open a Sprite and stop being all judgey about the Left. There’s some decent TV on the Facebook to watch.

    BONUS:

    Lesley Stahl, Unmasked
    This pic was snapped in the White House, just after the interview. Lesley Stahl is not wearing a mask while chatting up close and personal with two producers . . . CBS says she didn’t do anything wrong because the other two gents are wearing masks.
    Two masks every three people is effective to slow the spread of COVID-19. Per CBS, apparently. You heard it here, folks!

  • Meet NBC News’ Brandy Zadrozny…

    Meet NBC News’ Brandy Zadrozny…

    Meet NBC News’ Brandy Zadrozny — The Woman In Charge of Doxxing and Destroying Trump Supporters

    For more than two months, Revolver has worked to expose the true nature of the 2020 presidential election. Powerful forces in the national media, academia, intelligence services, and the courts are fighting to prevent America from holding an ordinary vote on November 3. Instead, they plan to pull off an Eastern Europe-style “color revolution, where institutional forces are used to bring about the intended outcome regardless of what the law says or what the public wants, while giving the whole process a gloss of democratic legitimacy.

    Harassment, censorship, and intimidation of Trump supporters by any means necessary is a key element of the “color revolution” strategy. And Brandy Zadrozny of NBC News is a key hatchet woman working on behalf of the oligarchs.

    Zadrozny has a long history of targeting Trump supporters for doxing, censorship, and harassment. She poses as a neutral reporter, but like so many other “journalists” in 2020, she is simply an ideologically-motivated hitman.

    Brandy Zadrozny (Brandy Lynn Jolly – Brooklyn)

    Not only does Zadrozny brag about doxing Trump supporters, she actually wrote the book on it. Incidentally, there is one group of people Zadrozny does not support doxing — pedophiles. Allow us to explain.

    Zadrozny was a major contributor to the Verification Handbook, a book for online journalists. Specifically, Zadrozny wrote a guide on how to unethically dox anonymous people online. Zadrozny appears to use paid, dark-data search engines to dox the personal information of anonymous Trump supporters online — obtaining property records, phone information, and even their Amazon wish lists.

    Zadrozny is part of a press corps deployed to cover “misinformation, disinformation, and extremism” after the Internet fueled President Donald Trump’s win in 2016. This new journo beat was created to surveil, slander, and censor online voices that counter ruling class narratives.

    Why did NBC News hire an obviously partisan hack to do the dirty work of George Soros-funded Media Matters“Trump will be defeated either through impeachment or the ballot box in 2020.”

    It turns out this “Disinformation Expert” (practitioner, not analyst) authored a How-To Guide for doxing intensely personal digital data of anonymous Trump supporters online. This guide is marketed to fellow journos who flunked the same ethics class.

    Using third-party vendors so expensive access “depends on your newsroom’s budget,” Zadrozny tries to scrape phone and property records from your digital footprint. She touts access to your Amazon Wish List, “a gold mine for learning about what a person reads, wants, buys.” You wouldn’t want to be caught reading the wrong books, would you, Comrade?

    Let’s say you’re a patriotic anonymous Twitter user. One day, POTUS retweets you. Wow, cool! But then Comrade Zadrozny from NBC says your account amplifies harmful narratives, so she sets out to dox you. This could happen to anyone. But in this case, it happened to the great Columbia Bugle account.

    This is just slimy and creepy.

    But what else should we expect from an establishment disinformation commissar?

    Zadrozny is particularly proud of her efforts to dox secret accounts that deliberately wish to remain anonymous, and she brags at her talent for invading their privacy:

    My favorite kind of stories are those that reveal the real people behind influential, anonymous social media accounts. These secret accounts are less reliant on the algorithm, and more carefully crafted to be an escape from public life. They allow someone to keep tabs on and communicate with family and friends apart from their public account, or to communicate the ideas and opinions that for personal or political reasons, they dare not say out loud. [Data Journalism]

    Zadrozny’s biggest target in 2020 is Qanon. Instead of simply covering the online movement like an objective and ethical journalist would, Zadrozny has an ideological commitment to suppressing it. Her journalism is written with the clear goal of justifying censorship. When Facebook responded accordingly, she went on Twitter to brag about silencing “my” groups.

    https://twitter.com/BrandyZadrozny/status/1313584910985318400?s=20
    https://twitter.com/BrandyZadrozny/status/1313585050689171456?s=20

    While Zadrozny is passionately committed to doxing and silencing her political foes, there’s another group she is more sympathetic toward: Pedophiles.

    In 2018, Alain Malcolm drove to a house in Bristol, Connecticut, planning to rape a 14-year-old. Fortunately, there was no 14-year-old. Instead Malcolm was catfished by the local group POPSquad (short for Prey on Predators), which shamed him on camera. Shortly after, Malcolm hanged himself.

    In a long article written shortly afterwards a hostile article on a vigilante group that targeted sexual predators, Zadrozny complained at length about the suffering of pedophiles confronted by the POPSquad. In an incredible segment of the article, she glamorized a “tall and handsome” alleged pederast who “wholly subscribed to the American dream.”

    On a cool evening in October, Alain Malcolm, 20, walked into a vacant two-story colonial house in Bristol, Connecticut. Two members of a local internet vigilante group — who regularly try to expose and shame alleged child predators they entice online — were waiting for him.

    Malcolm was tall and handsome. The oldest son of Jamaican immigrants, he wholly subscribed to the idea of the American dream. In high school, Malcolm was vice president of the Future Business Leaders of America club, assistant captain of the tennis and swim teams and a member of the student council and Model United Nations. He started a social marketing business at 15.

    After graduating in 2016, Malcolm filled his Instagram and Facebook feeds with photos of New York high-rises, bathroom selfies in three-piece suits and links to news articles in which he was featured. He went to community college while working as a junior buyer for a local circuit-board manufacturer and was the subject of a Connecticut Public Television series that profiled recent high school graduates. Earlier this year, he was named one of Litchfield County’s 40 Leaders Under 40.

    Starting in high school, Malcolm used apps like Tinder and Grindr to meet men from around the state, friends said. On that October night, he had come to Bristol to meet someone younger, purportedly a 14-year-old boy “going on 15,” according to a video posted by the digital vigilante group known as POPSquad.

    When Malcolm arrived, he found that there was no boy — there was only POPSquad. For the 126th time in two years, the group — an acronym for Prey on Predators — had catfished a man on the internet, posing as an underage teen on hookup apps and luring him into a meetup, this time at an empty home whose owner allows it to be used for the group’s stings, according to POPSquad.

    Facebook told NBC News that it is aware of these groups and does not ban them outright, although much of what they do appears to violate Facebook’s rules against shaming or cyberbullying. [NBC News]

    Doxing Trump supporters? Good. Exposing pedophiles? Very, very bad.

    Zadrozny is representative of dozens if not hundreds of journalists in 2020. She doesn’t seek to inform the public or fairly present issues. Instead, she is a commissar, an ideological enforcer who probes the personal lives of class enemies in an effort to intimidate, humiliate, silence, and destroy them.

    Why does NBC News — which purports to be a mainstream, nonpartisan broadcast news network — have on their payroll an obviously partisan hack who brags about doxing Trump supporters, glamorizes pedophiles, and seeks to protect child predators from exposure?

    This is the first story in an ongoing series. Revolver will be interviewing and profiling regular, average Americans who were targeted by Comrade Zadrozny for life-threatening harassment. More to come.

    Comment: I couldn’t understand why the Intelligence Agencies would allow Zadrozny to continue stalking people and in some cases placing their lives in danger. But, within a very narrow window it became abundantly clear – she protects pedophiles and so do they, apparently.

  • Hunter Biden Business Partner Bevan Cooney Moved…..

    Hunter Biden Business Partner Bevan Cooney Moved…..

    Hunter Biden Business Partner Bevan Cooney Moved by Bureau of Prisons Without Warning

    Earlier today a rumor hit Twitter that a gentleman named Bevan Cooney had been removed from the federal prison facility in Oregon where he was serving a 30 month sentence for securities fraud.

    I have referenced Cooney a few times in stories I’ve written about the Indian Tribe bond fraud scheme involving Devin Archer, the main business partner of Hunter Biden in his business ventures in Ukraine and China.

    You can find my earlier stories on this subject hereherehere, and here.

    What is the significance of the news today that Cooney has suddenly been moved?

    As a general matter, federal prison inmates get no notice from the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) that they are going to be moved.  They may be informed in advance that they are going to be transferring to another facility, but they get no information about the timing of such a move.  Essentially, when the time arrives, the BOP staff appears at their cell and tells them “Time to go.”  The staff will back up their belongings and send them along.

    This is done for security reasons.  No notice to the inmate means no notice to the outside world that the inmate is on the move.  Pretty much the first notice the family has will come simply from the fact they are not able to make contact with the inmate in the normal manner. Inmates have BOP based email called “CorrLinks”.  An inmate’s CorrLinks account is terminated as soon as the inmate leaves the facility.  The next chance an inmate will have to communicate with third parties is when they can re-establish a CorrLinks account at their next facility.  By that point the move is complete, and the inmate is once again secure.

    Cooney’s move could be routine and planned completely independent of his newfound celebrity.  But I think serious consideration needs to be given to the thought that that is not the case.

    Seventy-two hours ago it was publicly announced by author Peter Schweizer that Cooney had been in touch with him in the past about information Cooney possessed about Hunter Biden and Devon Archer, who were one topic of interest in Schweizer’s book “Secret Empires.”  With the discovery of Biden’s laptop, the public release of documents from that laptop, and the claims by pro-Biden partisans in protecting the Biden campaign by claiming information from the laptop was Russian disinformation, Cooney decided to release his emails that cast some light on Hunter Biden’s involvement with Devon Archer, Cooney and others. He gave Schweizer his “Gmail” account username and password, and written authorization to publish emails and documents that could be found there.

    Cooney’s reason?  The suggestion is that Hunter Biden was involved in the fraud that Cooney is serving prison time for – as are most others who were involved – and Biden has escaped responsibility for his role.

    Forty-eight hours ago, documents started to drop onto Twitter that is from Bevan Cooney’s email account.  And now Bevan Cooney is on the move with the BOP.

    Who is Bevan Cooney, and what might he have to offer?

    Cooney made his mark in Los Angeles when he, along with a couple of others, acquired an ownership interest in The Viper Room in Hollywood, a trendy hangout for Hollywood A-Listers, previously owned in part by Johnnie Depp.  Cooney wasn’t an owner at the time, but on the street outside The Viper Room is where talented young actor River Phoenix died of a heroin overdose in 1993.

    The main perpetrator of the Indian Tribe bond fraud scheme was an individual named Jason Galanis, who told law enforcement that Cooney was “my best friend for more than 20 years and an equity owner in every one of my businesses.”

    Two days ago an email string dated October 5, 2013, from Cooney’s account set out a three-way communication between Cooney, Galanis, and Archer, in which the three discussed and agreed to bring Hunter Biden into their group and to “put a little honey in his pocket.”  That was seven months before Archer suggested to the Chairman of the Board of Burisma Holdings that Biden would be a good choice to fill an open seat on the Burisma board, and 10 months before they executed the first substantive actions in the Indian Tribe bond fraud scheme.

    This criminal complaint charging Galanis, Archer, Cooney, and others with securities fraud was filed on May 9, 2016.  Barack Obama was still President, Joe Biden was still Vice President, and Preet Bharara was the US Attorney in SDNY.

    According to the complaint, Galanis kept Archer and Cooney up to date on his progress in arranging the “purchase” end of the Indian Tribe bond fraud.

    The basics are that Galanis and his father convinced the Indian Tribe to sell bonds to investors, and the proceeds from that sale would be used for public works projects on tribal land in South Dakota.

    The bond transaction needed a “selling” entity and a “purchasing” entity to complete the transaction.  Archer and Cooney seem to have been more involved in acquiring the “selling” enterprise — Burnham Financial Group — and Galanis and others were more involved acquiring a “purchasing” enterprise, two investment advisor companies who managed investment portfolios for clients.  Archer and Cooney had Burnham “sell” the bonds to the clients of the companies Galanis had taken control of, and Burnham then transferred the proceeds to a shell corporation rather than an insurance company to buy annuities.  From the shell corporation, the proceeds from the bond sales were diverted to personal use by the fraud’s perpetrators.

    So Cooney had first-hand involvement with Archer in acquiring control of Burnham, and he has regular communications via email and text with Galanis regarding the two investment companies that bought the bonds.

    Cooney took the case to trial along with Archer, and both were convicted by a Manhattan jury.  Galanis had pled guilty two years earlier shortly after he was indicted.

    Now it seems like Cooney is talking.  It will be curious to hear what he has to say.

    Comment: Yes, it would be very interesting to know what Cooney has to say. But I would be even more curious as to who gave the directive for Cooney’s transfer.

    Senate Democrats are planning another political stunt for tomorrow’s Judiciary committee vote on ACB. They’re planning on boycotting the hearing and placing posters of those they say will be “harmed” if Barrett is confirmed to the high Court. Unfortunately for them, the confirmation was a done deal as soon as Majority Leader Mitch McConnell decided the vote would happen.
