Here’s an excerpt from this article ;
Vindman also told investigators Tuesday that he tried to change the White House’s rough transcript of the call by filling in at least one of the omitted words , “Burisma ,” a reference to the company linked to Biden and his son , according to people familiar with his testimony. But Vindman was unsuccessful.
He also testified that some of the ellipses omitted Trump saying there are recordings of Joe Biden discussing corruption in Ukraine , according to people familiar with Tuesday’s closed-door testimony.
Vindman’s concerns , though , were far bigger than the transcript. And lawmakers said his failed effort to edit it didn’t significantly change their understanding of what transpired during Trump’s call that sparked the impeachment inquiry.
Vindman’s arrival in military blue , with medals , created a striking image at the Capitol as the impeachment inquiry reached deeper into the White House. He testified for more than 10 hours.
“ I was concerned by the call ” Vindman said , according to prepared remarks . “ I did not think it was proper to demand that a foreign government investigate a U.S. citizen , and I was worried about the implications for the U.S. government’s support of Ukraine.”
That’s a bit of farce !!! … When you consider all we ‘ know ‘ is President Trump asked a fellow country leader ” do him a ‘ favour ‘ ( not ‘ demand ‘ ) and investigate possible conflict of interest issues of a recent Vice President , who is running for the nomination of his party , in hopes to become President in 2020 …
The inquiry is looking into Trump’s call , in which he asked Zelenskiy for a “ favour ” — to investigate Democrats — that the Democrats say was a quid pro quo for military aid and could be an impeachable offence.
” Quid pro quo ” ?! … There has been no evidence whatsoever that Trump was using military aid as a ‘ bargaining chip ‘ … Or in any way a ‘ threat ‘ … However , we KNOW ( as the still acting , at the time , Vice President himself bragged on live TV ) that Biden threatened the ( then ) governing party to fire a diplomat that he didn’t like or he would withhold 391 million in security aid to the Ukraine !!! …
If I was a Republican election strategist , I would focus on exploiting that !!! …
Get Joe out of the running quickly … Then look deeply into Burisma …
And put him ( and Junior Biden ) in jail !!! …

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi , the shadowy leader of the group Islamic State in Iraq and Syria ( ISIS ) who presided over its global jihad and became arguably the world’s most wanted man , is dead after being targeted by a U.S. military raid in Syria, President Donald Trump said Sunday.
Al-Baghdadi was targeted in Syria’s northwestern Idlib province , in the Barisha area , late Saturday. Trump spoke at the White House on Sunday to announce the raid, saying the ISIS leader detonated a suicide vest during the operation, killing himself and three of his children.
Al-Baghdadi ” died like a coward , crying , whimpering and screaming ” as he ran to hide inside a tunnel , with U.S. troops closing in on him , Trump said. He said two wives of the ISIS leader , ” both wearing vests ” were also found dead in the rubble of the tunnel …

Why the ‘Woke’ Corporations Back China
Think there’s a contradiction between ‘ woke ’ corporate titans like Apple and Disney silencing anyone opposed to China’s crackdown on protesters in Hong Kong ?
It’s not hypocrisy , it’s synergy.
The same forces that made the major brands scattered around your kitchen , living room and garage broadcast their support for gun control , gay marriage and illegal immigration are fueling their support for the People’s Republic of China pulling another Tiananmen Square in Hong Kong.
The lefties in Beijing and Berkeley used the same set of ideological tools to force companies to toe the party line. They roped off access to an appealing customer base, the population of mainland China, urban millennials with huge amounts of disposable income , in exchange for ideological compliance.
Communist China is one entangled oligarchy which mingles political party and company. Sound familiar ?
The CEO of Nike sits on the board of Disney. The CEO of Disney until recently sat on the board of Apple. The CEO of Apple sits on the board of Nike. Good thing we have a “ free market economy ” isn’t it ?
Disney , Apple and all the rest have no problem understanding their Chinese Communist counterparts.
ESPN smears democracy protesters in Hong Kong for the same reason that it celebrated Colin Kaepernick. There’s a fundamental contradiction in principles between supporting a Communist police state and denouncing American police officers , but a perfect synergy of political expediency.
Disney , ESPN’s parent company , has embraced identity politics from the top down , even as its head honcho , Bob Iger , remains whiter than vanilla ice cream , not because it really believes in this stuff. The Chinese Communist Party believes in One China. Its American counterparts believe in A Thousand Genders. Lefty power in China is built on unity and solidarity. Lefty power in America is built on divisive minority coalitions. But it’s only a difference if you focus on the means rather than the ends.
And the Mouse didn’t eat the entire entertainment industry by being unable to see the endgame. Avengers Endgame brought in $612 million in China. That’s the real endgame that it cares about …
A good read from : Sultan Knish
Legitimizing the mess we just endured under the explanatory banner that it was a vote about climate change is claptrap , and a pretty low grade of claptrap at that. Not even the watery pilgrimage of the sainted Greta Thunberg to our shores , and the emptying of half the schoolrooms of the nation for what was called a climate emergency march , had any perceptible effect on Monday’s vote.
Were climate change the central motivator , then surely this week would have seen Elizabeth May and a lavish posse of newly elected Greens setting the terms of Trudeau’s survival in the House of Commons , among which the first would surely have been sealing off Alberta from the rest of the country , until the May-Trudeau coalition could find some other place to put it.
Ms. May’s personal vehicle , which we know as the Green party , did make voluminous gains , for she increased its representation by a full 50 per cent. That is , instead of a solid two Green MPs , both from Vancouver Island , there is now one more , this time in New Brunswick , which surely qualifies the Greens as pan-Canadian at last.
But when you’ve got the end of the world as your calling card , and a leader who gladly appoints herself as the instrument of that same world’s salvation — a most powerful pitch — then surely , after 13 years of trying , you should be doing better than electing three candidates in a Parliament of 338. And if , as so many are still saying , this was a climate-change election , then the one leader who has made climate change her brand and banner , and who in a CBC interview stated “ I have to save the whole world” and worse , obviously believes she can , would have done better than adding one more member to an already unwieldy caucus of two.
Why does Mr. Trudeau join the juvenile climate march , seek a photo session with Greta , entertain Bill Nye the ( silly ) Science Guy ? ” If you seek the reason for Western estrangement , check out the front bench of Trudeau’s first term. Check out his obsessive desire to be one with the Gores , the DiCaprios , the nomads of first-class high-flying to luxury climate summits ?…
Ya gotta love Rex Murphy !!! …
TV stunt ? … Are you trying to tell us that this was something ‘ new ‘ ?!!! …
A dramatic protest or a desperate attempt to hijack the news cycle ? However you look at it , when close to 40 Republicans burst into a closed impeachment hearing on Wednesday , it was an unprecedented moment that some experts warn has pushed the bounds of legitimate partisan attacks.
Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz , one of President Donald Trump’s most loyal defenders in Congress , led the group of Republicans as they forced their way into what’s known as a sensitive compartmented information facility , or SCIF , to disrupt a closed deposition from a Pentagon official in the ongoing presidential impeachment inquiry.
” The American people deserve a public and open process ” Rep. Mo Brooks of Alabama said outside the hearing room, moments before the Republicans barged in.
The Republicans said the storming of the SCIF was necessary to expose what they call the secretive Democrat-led hearings that have denied the president transparency and a chance to face his accusers.
The Democrats are investigating whether Trump used the power of his office to pressure Ukraine into delivering political favours to help his chances in the 2020 election.
“By golly , if they’re going to do it, do it in public ” Brooks said. ” Don’t hide it from the American people. Show your face where we can all see the travesty that you are trying to foist on America and the degradation of our republic that you are engaged in.”
Ya gotta love how these southern American politicians speak in the cutesy way , with ” goshes ‘ and ” by golly’s ” …
Say it like ya mean mean it for Chrissakes !!!…
” If they’re going to do it , do it in public for fucksakes !!! … Don’t hide your cowardly ass from the American people ! … Show you’re goddamn face if you’re shootin’ off your mouth !!! ” …
That’s how I would say it anyway … And the Trumpster’s headin’ in that direction too !!! …
But the attack on the impeachment inquiry process , rather than the substance of what has emerged so far, struck some historians as being deliberately disingenuous.
The protest came the day after testimony from the top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine, Bill Taylor , in which he reportedly described various examples of Trump directing staff to pressure Ukrainian officials into investigating his political rival , Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden.
I don’t see the problem with that … If Biden threatened to withhold a billion plus in aid to the Ukrain , until they fired an individual , then that is not only an abuse of power , it’s illegal !!! … The President of the United States has every right … In fact a DUTY ! … To have the possible criminal actions of a Vice President ( while he/she was in office ) investigated …
The writer of this article then places quotes into his reporting that attempt to ‘ delegitimize the actions taken by the Republicans .
To many , the storming of the SCIF on Wednesday appeared to be a direct response to Trump saying a few days earlier that Republicans in the House weren’t doing enough to defend him from impeachment charges. Trump also reportedly had advanced knowledge of what the Republicans had planned.
Cole warned that attacks seemingly directed by the executive branch against the legislative branch take the U.S. into dangerous territory when it comes to the constitution.
Wednesday’s deposition of Pentagon official Laura Cooper eventually took place , five hours after it was scheduled to begin.
But in their attempt to defend the president at all costs , Republicans are continuing to show glimpses of tactics used in authoritarian regimes, said historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat of New York University.
” I don’t see it as a distraction. I see it as a continuation of this contaminated , lawless culture that the Republicans have adopted in order to protect themselves and Donald Trump ” she said.
Democrat per chance Ruthy ?! …
The idea of staging the intervention in an aggressive way is one problematic thing , but consciously violating norms of national security — by bringing cellphones into a secured room — is another , she said.
” It kind of shows that nothing is sacred anymore , and every rule and norm can be broken in the interest of ideology , which is the cult of Donald Trump.”
Well that’s his point !!! … That’s why HE WON THE ELECTION !!! … The American people have had enough of the ‘ rules and norm ‘ of the swamp !!! …
Heather Cox Richardson, the history professor at Boston College , acknowledges that partisan attempts to game the system and win the messaging battle are nothing new.
From Sen. Strom Thurmond’s 24-hour filibuster in 1957 to try to prevent the passage of the Civil Rights Act , to Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell taking the unprecedented step in 2016 of refusing to hold a hearing for President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee , Merrick Garland.
But she says what happened on Capitol Hill this week was a shocking escalation.
” [ The Republicans ] knew perfectly well they were conveying a message that was a lie and they did it anyway ” she said.
Who are you to say ” it was a lie … ” Heather ? … And your blatant partisanship for the Democrap party , as well as the ‘ business as usual swamp ‘ activities is speaking volumes here !!! …
” These, therefore , are people who don’t believe in the process and are willing to lie to their supporters in order to affect the outcome of something that’s of grave importance to the nation.”
So there ya have it … Heather’s got it all figured out for ya … No need to ask any more questions … Nothing to see here folks … Move along …
Fuck your Boston College ‘ professor ‘ title … Go get a real job !!! … Oh … And while you’re at it … STFU !!! …

EDMONTON — A graffiti mural of Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg has surfaced in Edmonton after the teen brought her message to the city.
The artwork appeared on a mural wall between 94 Street and Commonwealth Station. It’s unclear if it was painted before or after Thunberg’s appearance at the Edmonton climate strike on Friday.
It shows the 16-year-old activist with a similar look on her face as when she famously ripped into world leaders at a United Nations climate summit last month.
” You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words , yet I’m one of the lucky ones ,” she said. ” People are suffering , people are dying , entire ecosystems are collapsing.”
OH spare me will ya !!! …
Glen Carritt , organizer for the United We Roll convoy that rode from Red Deer to downtown Edmonton , said the group held its own protest because oil and gas workers are ” frustrated ” and feel their industry is under attack.
” We just don’t need any more of these people coming in and telling us about our environmental standards when they don’t really know and understand it ” he said.
The mural appeared to be painted by Aja Louden , who tweeted video of the wall on Friday. It reads ” Thank you Beaver Hills Warriors ” a reference to the grassroots environmental group that helped lead Friday’s march , and ” Thank you Greta “…
Will Mom and Dad kindly tell her her it’s waaaay past her bedtime and tell the kid to STFU and go to bed !!! …
