Attorney General Bill Barr is going to make Sleepy Creepy Joe’s life miserable.

The Left might be losing an American Hero.

And let’s point out the hypocrisy of Leftist logic.

 

Protecting the Investigation

Attorney General William Barr has appointed U.S. Attorney John Durham to be special counsel in the criminal investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe.

Appointing Durham gives him “extra protection” to continue the investigation as a transition in presidential administrations is likely to take place in a little under two months. Barr’s move will make it harder for the incoming Biden administration to fire Durham and end the probe.

Barr said:

“Although I had expected Mr. Durham to complete his work by the summer of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as additional information he uncovered, prevented him from doing so. In advance of the presidential election, I decided to appoint Mr. Durham as a Special Counsel to provide him and his team with the assurance that they could complete their work, without regard to the outcome of the election.”

Catherine Herridge from CBS news Tweeted:

“Special Counsel Durham scope is broad + encompasses recently declassified docs. This may set up interesting dynamic with nexus to then VP Biden. Declassified records include unmasking @GenFlynn + Jan 2017 WH meeting where, according to notes, ‘VP’ raised Logan Act.”

This is a good thing, sort of. I think this investigation needs to continue or finish quickly because Sleepy Creepy Joe is not going to happy about it. Especially since he was directly involved in the unmasking of Michael Flynn and probably was involved in spying of the Trump campaign. This could also bring up a whole lot of stuff Biden doesn’t want investigated like the Steele Dossier, involvement by the Obama administration in Russia and Ukraine (which Biden was directly involved in and possible perjury charges for John Brennen, Peter Strozk, Jim Comey and Andrew McCabe. This is not the way Biden is going to want to start his Presidency like this.

Biden does have an option. He can wait until his Attorney General gets confirmed, which will take some time, and have that person fire Durham and end the investigation. This should look bad on Biden. But it won’t except for the Conservative counter culture. The legacy media will ignore anything that Biden does. How do I know?

This was pretty serious news. Barr believes this investigation is going somewhere and is afraid the Biden administration will scrap it. As information comes out, people are going to get thrown under the bus including Biden and probably a bunch of his staff since they were all part of the Obama administration. ABC, CBS and NBC all ignored the story. CNN and MSNBC mentioned it but didn’t think it was a big deal.

But I will tell you one thing: the day Biden cans Durham we will have our first Biden scandal.

Hero No More

On a podcast called Good Luck, America host Peter Hamby asked Barrack Obama an interesting question:

“If you’re a young activist today and you believe really passionately in a slogan, like Defund the Police, what is your advice to that activist? Knowing that a lot of politicians won’t go near that phrase, even if the nuts and bolts of the idea might be popular.”

Obama answered:

“If you believe, as I do, that we should be able to reform the criminal justice system so that it’s not biased and treats everybody fairly, I guess you can use a snappy slogan, like ‘Defund the Police,’ but, you know, you lost a big audience the minute you say it, which makes it a lot less likely that you’re actually going to get the changes you want done.”

“But if you instead say, Hey, you know what? Let’s reform the police department so that everybody’s being treated fairly. And not just in policing, but in sentencing, how can we divert young people from getting into crime? And if there was a homeless guy, can maybe we send a mental health worker there instead of an armed unit that could end up resulting in a tragedy?”

“You know, suddenly a whole bunch of folks who might not otherwise listen to you are listening to you. So the key is deciding, do you want to actually get something done, or do you want to feel good among the people you already agree with? And if you want to get something done in a democracy, in a country as big and diverse as ours, then you’ve got to be able to meet people where they are.”

I don’t agree with Obama on practically anything but he’s right here. Using the extreme language of the Left is alienating most of the country including people of color. This is why people are voting for Republicans in mass numbers including people of color. Trump received the highest number of the black vote this election in 50 years at almost 20%. He received the highest number of the Hispanic vote in 50 years at over 30% and I think closer to 40%. Because people of color depend on the police for protection against…wait for it…criminals.

We have talked about all of the criminals that have been made into heroes including George Floyd and Breanna Taylor. I am not going to justify what happened with George Floyd. I think Darren Chauvin was wrong in what he did. It this a sign of systemic racism? Is this a sign a racism? To me, it looks like a bad cop. And he’s in jail, right at this moment, for it. To use the every iffy confrontations between police and criminals is not reason enough to just take money away from the police. And most of the people in this country don’t want that.

But we are talking about the Left. And they don’t admit they are wrong. They just double down.

Ilhan Omar Tweeted:

“We lose people in the hands of police. It’s not a slogan but a policy demand. And centering the demand for equitable investments and budgets for communities across the country gets us progress and safety.”

Rashida Tlaib said:

“Rosa Parks was vilified & attacked for her civil disobedience. She was targeted. It’s hard seeing the same people who uplift her courage, attack the movement for Black lives that want us to prioritize health, funding of schools & ending poverty, rather than racist police systems.”

Ayanna Pressley Tweeted:

“The murders of generations of unarmed Black folks by police have been horrific. Lives are at stake daily so I’m out of patience with critiques of the language of activists. Whatever a grieving family says is their truth. And I’ll never stop fighting for their justice & healing.”

Missouri Democrat, Cori Bush Tweeted:

“With all due respect, Mr. President—let’s talk about losing people. We lost Michael Brown Jr. We lost Breonna Taylor. We’re losing our loved ones to police violence. It’s not a slogan. It’s a mandate for keeping our people alive. Defund the police.”

This is where the the Democratic party is going to have a really hard time in 2022. It’s because the Left cannot stop being insane and hate 75% of the country. Nothing reasonably said, even from one of their own, that goes against the Leftist narrative, can be accepted. It’s already cost the Democrats seats in the House and probably the Senate. I can’t wait until Biden says something they don’t agree with.

OK, Who Cares…But…

“Juno” star Ellen Page announced a transgender identity, new pronouns, and a name change to “Elliot” on Tuesday, for which many congratulated the Academy Award nominee, including some companies.

I don’t care about any of this. I think it’s simply virtue signaling. But let me go into a different direction. The direction the Left wants everyone to go to. I’m good with it.

Intersectionality believes that groups define your victim class. If one is part of a certain group: black, gay, transgender, etc. They are a victim in some way. An example is that a black lesbian woman belongs to three victim groups and she has more grievances and moral authority than me because I am only a straight, white male. But they also want us to accept that men can be women and women can be men. OK, I’ll go with that.

So, let’s play logic and skip science. It’s funny but the Left will use science to make themselves victims but will skip science for everything else.

• Ellen Page was a white, lesbian woman. She meets two categories of victim: woman and lesbian.
• She has decided to be a man. That makes her a transgender male…lesbian? If we accept this, she…sorry, he…belongs to three victim groups: lesbian, woman and transgender.
• Oh wait! Gender is mailable. It can change. So a man can be a woman and a woman can be a man. So she is not a she because she said she is a he so he is a he.
• Eliot likes women, so he’s not gay. And, because he’s a man, he’s straight.
• Eliot is white so he’s not a person of color.
• That makes Eliot a straight white male that belongs to no victim group in the eyes of identity politics and intersectionality.
• He can’t say he is transgender because a man can be a woman and a woman can be a man. Being transgender assumes that a transgender male was a female. But we are led to believe that is not a thing by the Left.

 

This is the problem with the Left, intersectionality and identity politics. One has to ignore reason and science for this to work. That’s because Ellen Page:

• Is and will always be a woman.
• Likes women.
• And decided to call herself a man, which she isn’t.

 

Do you see the problem with the thinking of the Left?
