Jim Clapper caught in Joe Biden's, Hunter Biden's trap

Jim Clapper, the former Director of National Intelligence in the Obama administration, insists that he's the victim. Clapper insists that the letter that he and 50 other intelligence 'experts' signed is accurate in the sense that they didn't say that they knew the letter was part of a Russian disinformation operation.

According to the letter, these 51 'experts' said "If we are right, this is Russia trying to influence how Americans vote in this election, and we believe strongly that Americans need to be aware of this." These 'experts' prefaced that sentence by saying "We want to emphasize that we do not know if the emails ... are genuine or not and that we do not have evidence of Russian involvement."

In other words, these 'experts' are expressing a strongly-held opinion that the Russians were interested in interfering with the 2020 presidential election. Further, these experts issued this letter just 2 weeks before the 2020 presidential election. What did these experts think? What was their intent? Perhaps this paragraph will help us with those questions:

Such an operation would be consistent with Russian objecives, as outlined publicly and recently by the Intelligence Community, to create political chaos in the United States and to deepen political divisions here but also to undermine the candidacy of former Vice President Biden and thereby help the candidacy of President Trump. For the Russians at this point, with Trump down in the polls, there is incentive for Moscow to pull out the stops to do anything possible to help Trump win and/or to weaken Biden should he win. A "laptop op" fits the bill, as the publication of the emails are clearly designed to discredit Biden.
Based on then-President Trump's no-nonsense approach to Russia and China coupled with Biden's history of appeasement, why wouldn't the Russians want 4 years of Biden instead of another 4 years of Trump? At the time, Biden kept insisting that he'd stand up to Putin and Xi Xingping. Trump supporters knew this was Biden BS, not reality. Putin and Xiinping had to do was look at his Iran policy to know Biden was a squish. Why wouldn't they prefer Biden over Trump? In this interview, Bret Baier pins David Priess down multiple times:

Priess insists that they (the 51 signatories to the letter) didn't know if the letter was real. That's problematic in that the laptop had been in the FBI's possession since December, 2019. How did the FBI have that laptop for 9+ months and not determine that the laptop was authentic? They can tapdance all they want but that's a difficult thing to get around.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio
