Overcoming the Rhetoric of Jacobinism
Posted By: Imright, 7/30/2022 11:11:53 AM
One of the most powerful tools of social control is capacity to define words. George Orwell established the ominous potential of the political darkness extending from such power. We in the United States find ourselves subjugated increasingly to a dangerous rhetorical world of doublespeak. Al Gore recently compared the killing of 19 children and teachers at Uvalde to the refusal to hear children crying out as victims of climate change. His comparison is not unlike his longstanding comparison of disagreement with his interpretation of the Earth’s proper temperature as analogous to Holocaust denial.

for a rude wake-up call over Hunter Biden investigation 6 replies
FBI Director Christopher Wray always seems a little too pleased with himself. But on Thursday the smirk may be wiped off his pretty face when Republican members of the House oversight committee start grilling him on the mounting evidence that something is very rotten inside the agency Wray runs.
Top of the list is the curious question of why the FBI apparently did nothing with Hunter Biden’s laptop, which was handed to two agents on Dec. 9, 2019, by John Paul Mac Isaac, the alarmed owner of the computer repair shop near the Biden family homes in Greenville, Del., where Hunter had dropped off his MacBook eight months earlier.
A huge piece of space junk from a spacecraft flown by Elon Musk's SpaceX has torpedoed into a farmer's property in the Snowy Mountains in NSW.

(Video) Australian National University space expert Brad Tucker told radio host Ben Fordham he was called out to investigate the discovery.

President Trump responded to an article on Breitbart about a fake poll in Missouri.
Breitbart reported earlier today on a poll taken in Missouri where the polling party reportedly deliberately undercounted President Trump’s support in the state:

President Trump destroyed quadruple vaxxed Joe Biden after Biden was recently diagnosed a second time with COVID.
Yesterday TGP reported that Joe Biden had COVID – again.(Tweet) But Joe was wrong again — a new report finds up to 40% of patients given Pfizer’s Paxlovid come down with COVID reinfection.
Oops.
According to the White House physician, Joe Biden isn’t feeling any new symptoms and “continues to feel quite well.”
Donald Trump shared a joke with Fox News star Tucker Carlson during the Saudi-backed LIV golf tournament at his Bedminster golf club Sunday.
The former president, 76, and the TV star who recently insisted he'd never run for president were all-smiles as they were joined by Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to watch the action unfold at the Trump National Golf Club.
LIV arrived at Trump's club on July 29, sparking controversy from some 9/11 victims who say the Saudi-backed tournament should not be welcomed on US shores.
The former president sparked outrage by saying there was no proof Saudi was linked to the September 2001 atrocity in New York City -

Among the 502 respondents, Lake, a former local Fox 10 news anchor, held a double-digit lead, with 51 percent saying they would vote for her. The next closest competitor was Karrin Taylor Robson, with 33 percent of the vote.
Anyone else remember the Trump administration? Record setting economy, world peace, secure borders, energy independence; yea, a very good time.
Well, Brandon did his best (worst) to dismantle all of President Trumps good work as quickly as he could, and boy howdy did he do a bang-up job!
Remember the first days of sleepy Joe’s tenure? Cancelling the Keystone pipeline, cancelling new drilling leases in Anwar, abandoning border wall construction and putting thousands out of work, even though the materials were already at location.
California is battling its worst wildfire this year with more than 51,000 acres burned and evacuations mounting.

Donald Trump was spotted signing autographs for fans and chatting with golfers at his Bedminster, New Jersey club on Sunday for the third day of a controversial Saudi-backed tournament.
The ex-president had agreed to host the LIV golf tournament on one of his properties for an undisclosed sum.

Bruce Springsteen has been a wealthy man for a very long time. In 1973 he released his second album, The Wild, The Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle which featured the classic song, Rosalita. Toward the end of the song’s tale about budding romance and the reluctance of a young woman’s father to accept her suitor, Springsteen explains, “And the record company, Rosie, just gave me a big advance!” We bet they did Bruce.
Just two years later, Springsteen burst into superstardom in 1975 with his blockbuster album Born to Run, which resulted in him being one of the first entertainers ever to be featured on

Joe Manchin went to bat for his reconciliation bill Sunday by doing something called the 'full Ginsburg' – meaning he went on all five major networks' morning shows over the weekend.

The Incredible Implosion of Team Kamala

It seemed obvious that Joe Biden’s selection of Kamala Harris as his running mate was a bad idea. Of all the Black Women™ he could have chosen, how he landed on her is a question for the ages. Unless, of course, someone figured they needed someone so awful that she would make Joe Biden look better by comparison.
I suppose that’s it.
The Biden-Harris White House has had over 30 senior staffers jump ship — many from Kamala’s office. The latest is Michael Collins, Harris’s director of public engagement; he follows senior aides Meghan Groob and Rohini Kosoglu, who departed a few weeks prior. Groob was Kamala’s director of speechwriting; it’s

The Existential Threat

President Barack Obama’s former campaign manager David Plouffe famously said of Donald Trump’s entry into politics: “It is not enough to simply beat Trump. He must be destroyed thoroughly. His kind must not rise again.”What was it that Washington DC and President Obama’s team feared so much about Donald J Trump?
The answer to that question is why the FBI, DOJ and CIA targeted Trump in 2016; and why they continued the targeting in 2017 with the Mueller investigation; (snip) why they still keep targeting Donald Trump with the J6 committee(snip)
Donald J Trump is the existential threat.
