John Durham continues to pursue Michael Sussmann. There have been some noteworthy revelations from this trial.

Robby Mook testified Friday and confirmed many things people have known for years. Clinton’s aides tried to present her as an outsider to the fray, but Mook revealed that Clinton was a twice-failed presidential contender who signed off on the publication of the false Alfa Bank story.

This article was provided by Fox News.

He stated that he discussed the possibility of releasing the information to a reporter with campaign chairman John Podesta, senior policy advisor Jennifer Palmieri and Jake Sullivan, White House National Security Adviser.

Mook said, “I also talked about it with Hillary.”

Mook said that, although I can’t remember the contents of the conversation, it was a discussion around, “hey, there are the following and we want the information to be shared with a reporter. ”

Mook testified that Clinton agreed to this. This directly links Clinton and the Alfa Bank story. This is the first time she shared the story via social media. She claimed that she got the news from the media and not her campaign. We now know that this was a fabrication.

It is not clear how this all relates to Afla Bank being brought to the FBI. Durham will be undoubtedly happy to look into the matter as it progresses in the trial.

It all amounts to a conspiracy to use false information to influence elections (probably not criminal) and a conspiracy to push false information to the FBI/DOJ (which almost certainly are criminal). He wasn’t the only one to do it. Durham will, I believe, prove it. He will be convicted. There were many others involved in the conspiracy including Clinton. Sussmann will be the first one to go. Durham will work backward.

I’m skeptical Clinton is ever touched simply because Washington elites are never touched. Here’s to being pleasantly surprised.

It’s amazing to see Elon Musk go after Democrats.

Do you remember Clinton’s famous tweet in 2016 linking then-Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump with Russia? Clinton and her campaign claim that Trump had a secret line of communication with Russa via a server at Trump Tower that connected to a Russian bank. This was to explain Trump’s “bizarre adoration for Vladimir Putin” and his proKremlin positions.

This was an attempt to tie Trump to Russia, as per the Democrat Party’s narrative. However, it was a narrative without any basis in reality and the epitome of misinformation in every sense of the term. As we reported Friday, Clinton was directly connected to Robert Mook’s release of the Alpha-Bank story.

You don’t have to remember the tweet. It’s still available as of this writing, despite Twitter’s commitment to eliminating misinformation, even from our political leaders.

“VeeSPIKE”, a Twitter user, tweeted Elon Musk that he had been reporting Clinton’s tweets as “misleading information” but nothing was done. He asked Musk to use any influence he might have on the company for something to be done.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Musk responded.

The Tesla CEO stated that “you are absolutely right.” “That tweet is a Clinton campaign hoax, for which their lawyer is currently undergoing a criminal prosecution.”

Musk also included a link to BBC regarding the Michael Sussmann case. Musk finished the tweet with a follow-up tweet to Parag Agrawal, Twitter CEO, and Vijaya Gandde asking for their reaction.

The tweet is still in flux. Despite Twitter’s impending takeover by Musk, it has been all speed ahead for Twitter’s relentless quest to censor its employees who disagree with it.

It’s clear that Musk is aware of the problems. He is taking a strong stance against the employees who not only restrict the freedom of speech in the west but also insult him personally. Musk is emphasizing the fact that Twitter, in its current state is dishonest and needs new management. Musk is correct in saying that this may be part of business maneuver and part of self-indulgence.

If Twitter doesn’t address this Clinton tweet, it will be yet another thing that proves Musk to be absolutely right.

In the early stages of the Department’s implementation, the Republicans did an admirable job. The Orwellian Disinformation Governance Board of Homeland Security quickly failed to deliver and the Biden White House had no choice but to announce that it was closing the operation.

Nina Jankowicz was the executive director of Biden’s Ministry of Truth. The Republican campaign played a key role in uncovering her. This liberal fruitcake is known for supporting the censorship of conservatives with heavy-handedness.

Jankowicz, the one who resigned after the announcement about the “pause”, was already doing the best thing the left does: playing the victim to anyone who will listen.

She said in a CNN interview that we were “unfortunately and ironically” overtaken by a disinformation campaign launched by people who want their national security to be more important than their political ambitions.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R.Texas), saw the interview and responded accordingly with a helpful translation.

I find it the self-important, left-leaning types who frustrate me most. They believe that if they continue to pretend that they are victims of a right-wing conspiracy/ “smear program”, they will eventually win the support of their supporters and weather the storm.

These tactics can sometimes backfire. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is an example of this. She opens her mouth to insert her shoe, and the far left loves her. But middle America doesn’t. The GOP frequently features her and other radical members of the “Squad” in ads in the battleground House districts, where there is more competition.

This is why leftist claims by conservatives that they want to “shut down progressives (especially women Democrats),” are so absurd. Conservatives want people talking because it makes it easier for them when they run for office.

According to my research, it wasn’t Republicans who demanded the government establish Ministries of Truth and that Big Tech companies tighten control on speech they don’t like.

An Arkansas political action committee sent a mailer to support incumbent Sen. John Boozman claiming that Jake Bequette, a former player in the National Football League and United States Army officer, had lied about his military service.

We found that the claims in the mailer were strongly misleading and deceitful.

Heartland Resurgence PAC sent out a mailer saying that Bequette had lied about his status as an Army Ranger, and also claimed that he joined the Army two years earlier than he really did. It also called the candidate “Fake Jake Bequette.”

The mailer’s flip side promotes Boozman and boasts his endorsement from former President Donald Trump. It also mentions that Boozman is the “son of an Air Force master sergeant,” “Helping Veterans get good-paying jobs in their post-military career” and a “member of Senate Veteran Affairs Committee.”

We were sent documents by his campaign, including the official award of his Ranger tab.

He graduated from Ranger School in 2018, and this is a photo of him.

And him receiving this tab.

It’s still a controversial question in military circles whether finishing training makes one a Ranger or if they only serve in the 75th Ranger Regiment. However, Alex Hollings explained to Sandboxx 2021 that it is not really significant.

Rangers are the ones who lead the way. I am inclined to follow the example of Murphy and a few other prominent Rangers. Some may view “Tabbed” Rangers as imposters, while others might see “Scrolled” Rangers as the only rightful heirs to the Ranger namesake. However, the debate loses sight of the true meaning of each of these (admittedly distinct) achievements.

Ranger School graduation and the 75th Ranger Regiment enlistment are incredible achievements that every service member should be proud of. All those who work hard to earn a Tab and a Scroll deserve respect. There will be much more to the debate, and both sides will have valid points. But from an outside perspective, it might be better to let the tabs and scrolls-wearing guys and gals slug it out, if they so choose.

The mailer, which is trying to discredit Bequette’s military background, is not a hardline believer as to what makes someone a Ranger.

Bequette stated, “It’s disgusting that Senator Boozman has smeared my military service and it shows how desperate he is to distract from his own record right prior to election day.”

He later stated, “It’s a disgrace to watch a Republican U.S. Senator and his surrogates use similar tactics as the radical left has used to attack conservative veterans.”

Jesse Ranney, a campaign representative, stated that Bequette was lying about his years of service. This was due to a typo in the campaign website, which was corrected a few days later. Ranney claims that the previous digital company that ran the campaign misrepresented the year he joined Army and the year he won Super Bowl.

We reached out to a top donor team to inquire about the mailer. Heartland Resurgence doesn’t have any contact information online. The donor declined to comment.

Boozman’s campaign also received contact via email and phone, but they didn’t respond in time to be published.

This Tuesday, May 24, is the Arkansas Republican primary election. A runoff election will be held if none of the primary candidates reach 50 percent.

KUAR reported that a Talk Business & Politics poll and a Hendrix College poll showed Boozman at 45% in the primary polls. Bequette was at 19%. While 18 percent of voters remain undecided and there are others in the race for the seat, the senator will likely face off against Bequette if he can’t get 50 percent.

Trump, former President, responded to shocking testimony from Michael Sussmann that Hillary Clinton authorized false information to be spread to the media alleging there was a secret communication channel between the Trump Organization and a Russian bank.

Robby Mook (ex-Clinton campaign manager) testified Friday in the first criminal case arising out of Special Counsel John Durham’s ongoing investigation into the origins, operation, and operation the Trump Russia probe. He said that Clinton had “approved” and “agreed to” share discredit data.

James Baker (ex-FBI General Counsel) testified that the FBI had investigated data suggesting that Trump was linked to a Kremlin bank, but found nothing.

Trump claimed that intelligence and law enforcement resources were used to investigate Trump and his 2016 campaign associates, disorienting officials from what “could have been a real danger with Russia.” ”

The FBI launched a counterintelligence investigation in July 2016 into Donald Trump’s campaign, and whether his associates were conspiring to or coordinating with the 2016 election.

Mueller’s investigation ended almost two years ago. It hasn’t yielded any evidence regarding criminal conspiracy or coordination between Trump campaign staffers and Russian officials during 2016.

Just after Mueller’s findings were announced, Attorney General Bill Barr tapped Durham. Barr wanted to examine the origins of the FBI’s initial investigation into Trump campaign. Mueller was appointed special counsel.

Mook was cross-examined by Andrew DeFillippis, the government prosecutor. He was asked questions about Clinton’s understanding of the data and his plans to release it to the media.

Mook said that Marc Elias, the campaign general counsel at Perkins Coie at the time, first informed him about the Alfa Bank issue.

Mook claimed that he was told the data had been provided by “experts in this kind of matter.” ”

Mook said that while the campaign was not confident in the validity and reliability of the data, it hoped to give the information to a reporter to “run it down” to determine if it’s “accurate” or substantive. ”

He stated that he discussed the possibility of releasing the information to a reporter with campaign chairman John Podesta, senior policy advisor Jennifer Palmieri and Jake Sullivan, White House National Security Adviser.

Mook later said that he could not recall the exact sequence of events when Clinton asked him if he shared the idea of reporting the Trump-Alfa Bank claims before or after the decision was made.

Sussmann was accused of lying to the FBI. September 2016: He stated to Baker that he was not doing any work for any client. Baker asked for and attended a meeting in which he presented “purported” information and “whitepapers” that allegedly showed a secret communications channel between the Trump Organization, which has ties with Kremlin, and Alfa Bank.

Durham’s team asserts that Sussmann actually worked for Rodney Joffe, a technology executive, and the Hillary Clinton Campaign.

Sussmann pleaded not guilty.

Mook was previously asked by defense whether he or any other Clinton campaign members approved that Sussmann bring the allegations to the FBI. He answered, “No. ”

The defense later questioned Mook asking if Hillary Clinton had approved Sussmann’s entrance to the FBI.

He replied again to the question: “I don’t know…I don’t know why she would.” ”

Baker also stated that an FBI investigation was opened into Trump-Alfa Bank claims. It lasted “several weeks”, possibly a month or a year and half.

Scott Hellman, an FBI Special Agent, testified Tuesday afternoon that data that showed Trump and Russia had been falsified. He also said that he was skeptical of the narrative.

Hellman claimed that the “5150” person who wrote the DNS data narrative was the one who made the conclusion and that he believes that the individual who came up with the conclusions was suffering from some mental disability. ”

Mook’s testimony that Clinton approved a plan to share the Trump-Alfa Bank allegations with the media was after Fox News reported in July 2016 that Clinton had “approved” a plan to tie Trump to Russia. This was done to distract from Clinton’s private mail server.

John Brennan, the then-CIA Director, provided Media with declassified notes after briefing President Obama on July 28th. They were referring specifically to Clinton’s purported proposal from a foreign-policy advisor to denigrate Donald Trump and create a scandal alleging Russian interference.

This memo was heavily redacted.

According to a survey by The Economist/YouGov, most Americans don’t like Critical Race Theory (CRT).

This survey was taken among 1,500 adults in the United States between May 15-17, asking them whether they had a positive or negative opinion about CRT.

52 percent of respondents said that they had an “unfavorable opinion” about Marxist ideology. 45 percent of those surveyed have a “very negative” opinion. Another 45 percent hold a favorable view of radical ideology. However, only 27 percent of these have a “very favorable” opinion. This includes 81 per cent of Democrats. However, the overwhelming majority of Republicans and Independents (88 percent and 65%) view CRT negatively.

41% of respondents said that they don’t know if CRT has been taught in their local schools. A larger number, 44 percent, believe CRT should not taught in their schools. A little over 25%, or 26 percent, believe it should be taught. Another 30% are not sure.

CRT was in the forefront of attention last year during Virginia’s governor’s race. Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) won. He quickly signed an executive decree to get rid of CRT schools after he took office.
These standards don’t allow “pernicious ideologies such as Critical Race Theory” to be taught in K-12 schools, the governor stated. He also promised that tax dollars would not be used for teaching children to hate America.

DeSantis said that every student counts and made it clear that the state does not care about categorizing people based on their race.

The Internal Revenue Service audit found that staff destroyed 30 million tax documents due to a huge backlog. The tax collection agency claims that no taxpayers were affected by the destruction.

Three recommendations were made by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration to the IRS for improving its paper tax forms processing and encouraging more e-filing. Two of these recommendations were rejected by the IRS.

According to the TIGTA report signed Michael E. McKenney (deputy inspector general for audit), “This audit was initiated due to the IRS’s inability to process paper-filed tax return backlogs contributed to management’s decision of destroying an estimated 30,000,000 paper-filed information returns documents in March 2021.” These documents are used by the IRS to perform post-processing compliance matches to find taxpayers who have not reported their income accurately.

Last week, the IRS released a public statement regarding the first inspector general report published on May 4.

According to the IRS statement, there were no adverse consequences for taxpayers as a consequence of this action. This action has not resulted in penalties for taxpayers or taxpayers and they will not.

According to the inspector general, the destroyed tax documents comprised W-2 forms as well as 1099 forms. According to the report, the IRS provided inaccurate responses to the inspector general.

The report states that “Although the IRS doesn’t have an exhaustive and accurate list of individual and corporate tax forms that cannot be e-filed,” is of particular concern. “For example, we were provided a list by the IRS on September 16, 2020 that identified 365 tax forms that cannot be e-filed. This list contained inaccuracies that were discovered during our review. The list contained tax forms that could be electronically filed and forms that were not available to be e-filed. We discussed the inaccuracies with IRS management. They stated that the list has not been updated since the calendar year 2018. This was due to agency priorities and limited funds.

According to the inspector general’s report, the IRS was asked to develop a Service-wide strategy that prioritizes and integrates all forms for electronic filing. This recommendation was accepted by the IRS.

The IRS was also recommended by the inspector general to “develop processes, procedures to identify and deal with potentially noncompliant corporate filers.”

The IRS however, objected. According to the report, “The IRS disagreed with that recommendation.” The IRS management stated that corporate filers would be subject to penalties if they fail to electronically file returns as required. They must have filed 250 returns or more and have assets of at least $10 million. These criteria may not all be available or known at the time of filing.

TIGTA suggested that the IRS “develop processes to ensure that penalties against business filers who are not compliant with efiling requirements are consistently assessed.”

The IRS disagreed and stated that the “IRS management stated that it had systemic processes in place to e-file partnership returns and they were working as intended.”

According to the TIGTA report, e-filing has increased in business since 2014 from 41% up to 63%.

All modern famines are man-made, usually the result of war, disease, and stupidity. Experts believe 2022 will be the year of a historic famine, causing a catastrophic food shortage.

The Ukraine War is affecting the output of the second-most significant breadbasket in the world. According to the Economist, Russia, Ukraine, and China together supply 28% of global wheat trade, 29% barley, and 75% sunflower oil.

Russia, Ukraine, and Egypt contribute about half of the cereals imports from Lebanon and Tunisia. Egypt and Libya are two-thirds. Russia has blocked Odesa from taking its waters in order to repel any attack from Ukraine.

The World Food Programme warned that 2022 would be a challenging year, even before the invasion.

The grain price has risen to an all-time high. India announced that it would not export wheat due to prolonged heatwaves.

People are at risk of starvation because of the rising cost of staple foods like wheat, sunflower oil, and barley.

This is unacceptable.

The crisis threatens to get worse. Ukraine had already shipped much of last summer’s crop before the war. Russia is still managing to sell its grain, despite added costs and risks for shippers. However, those Ukrainian silos that are undamaged by the fighting are full of corn and barley. Farmers have nowhere to store their next harvest, due to starting in late June, which may therefore rot. And they lack the fuel and labor to plant the one after that. Russia, for its part, may lack some supplies of the seeds and pesticides it usually buys from the European Union.

But you have to believe that what happened with the COVID-19 vaccine would happen with food as well. There would be a lot of talks internationally about the “responsibility” of rich nations to feed the poorer ones. That may be true to a certain extent — but only after our own people are taken care of. We don’t elect presidents or members of Congress to starve our own people so that leftists can feel good about themselves by giving away the product of American agricultural genius.

Sharing scarcity is impossible. Do you want to see food riots in America? Give away food during times of crisis.

The University of Arkansas has seen a major shift.

In the past, the school’s Pat Walker Health Center operated a campus “Women’s Clinic”. Recent changes in control have made it more restrictive.

Now, the medical center is known as the “GYN Clinic.” ” According To College Fix, an email regarding the change is important.

A.J. Olsen, Registered Health Information Administrator Director of Medical Services: “This name change is important as the Pat Walker Health Center acknowledges diversity and aims to create a welcoming environment for all patients. ”

This is a fascinating idea. Maybe society has changed. As they say, “representation matters.”

For men, the “GY(n)” center is available. If your unmentionables require “gynecology”.

The Fix contacted UofA to discuss the possibility of changing its moniker: John Thomas, the school’s spokesperson, said via email to The Fix that the name change wasn’t necessary per se, but that the clinic felt the GYN terminology related to the services it offers was more in line with medical terminology.

Thomas said that the cost of changing your name would be minimal if any. You can easily change your name online.

Kara Dansky is a Feminist lawyer and Women’s Human Rights Campaign U.S. Chapter president. She doesn’t seem impressed with the medical alignment. She says, “These clinics say that they are doing this in order to be more ‘inclusive,’” she said, but “what they are really doing is obliterating the material reality of biological sex.”

The Democrat was like this: “My party has been pushing this gender identity agenda in law and throughout society, and it’s terrible for women and girls. … Every single person is either female or male. There’s nothing wrong with saying that. ‘Transgender’ isn’t real. It was simply made up to persuade people that there’s some coherent category of people for whom sex is irrelevant. That is not true, and we should not be afraid to say so. Regardless of where we land on the political aisle.”

Arkansas doesn’t stand out in any way. Women aren’t getting the recognition they deserve:

Will women go the way of the dodo bird? For all the cultural talk of “erasure,” as a class, they’re getting regularly rubbed.

There is always a way to make a comeback.

But, for people who need services from the University of Arkansas regarding cervixes, “woman” is not an option.

Netflix is learning something that other companies have trouble doing…learning.

There’s a 99.9% chance that you will go bankrupt if you wake up. Netflix noticed the signs. They were not difficult to read. “Cuties”, a movie featuring underage girls performing provocative dance moves, was overwhelmingly rejected by the public. After three weeks, they were forced to cancel the live-action adaptation of “Cowboy Bebop.”

They also saw how the left tried to wage a full-scale battle against Dave Chappelle after he made fun of the holiest of leftist holies. The public was overwhelmingly supportive of the comedian, while the leftist’s favorite cause got only tepid support. It was clear from the start which side the company should be on in terms of creativity.

When the streaming company made it clear that it didn’t enjoy working on programs that upset its political sensibilities, it was more than a hint. They were blunt in their statements, saying phrases like “Netflix maybe not be the best place for you to work” and “they might consider working elsewhere.”

It was also a sign that there were things coming down the pipe that would certainly upset its more sage employees. The streaming company is moving in a new direction. It’s canceling a few hard-leftist shows.

Variety reports that Netflix has canceled a few programs, including the cartoon “Antiracist Baby”.

Netflix has ended several animated projects including “Wings of Fire” by Ava DuVernay, “Antiracist Baby,” which is a series for preschoolers, and “With Kind Regards from Kindergarten,” which is geared toward children.

The streaming service also dropped “Stamped Racism, Antiracism and You”, a documentary that was intended to be a companion piece for “Stamped From the Beginning,” which is a hybrid documentary and feature scripted about race in the United States. “Stamped From the Beginning”, which is still in production, is moving forward.

Variety reported that Netflix sources said that this was not financially motivated. Of course, this is only half true. A company will do anything if they believe it is monetarily profitable in some way or for someone at the top.

They claim that cancelations are caused by “creative” differences.

For example, “Antiracist Baby” was meant to be a show that influenced children with race-focused views.

“Antiracist Baby,” which is a retelling of Dr. Ibram. X. Kendi’s children’s book, was originally imagined as a series of animated vignettes to be played to music by preschoolers. Kendi also wrote “Stamped” (Stamped Racism, Antiracism, and You), which will not be run in tandem with “Stamped From The Beginning,” which is more adult-oriented. These three projects were created to address racism for all ages.

Page Six reports that Netflix also canceled a feminist animated series created by Meghan Markle.

Deadline reported that Netflix has canceled the expected animated series by the rebel royal due to budget cuts and plummeting subscriber figures. The series was to be about a 12-year-old girl who “goes on a journey of self-discovery,” inspired by the legacy and achievements of historical women.

However, this doesn’t mean that Netflix has abandoned children’s programming. While titles like “Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous,” and “Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight” will continue to be shown, it seems unlikely that the show’s survival will be possible if it is politically motivated and aimed at children.

Although it has some way to go, I believe Netflix is moving away from woke content to embrace programming that focuses on well-told stories and good, solid entertainment. It will be a company that has earned the trust of its customers once more.

Maybe Netflix will set an example that others can follow. We will see if the programming it produces abandons the political messaging and embraces actual entertainment that is not influenced by politics.
