Bill Murray was right: The Washington
Post framed Richard Nixon
Posted By: rememberwhen, 3/9/2025 3:06:17 PM
In a recent podcast interview with popular host Joe Rogan, comedian Bill Murray complained about the false description he felt famous journalist Bob Woodward had rendered of Murray’s good friend, the late John Belushi. As he expounded to Rogan on what he felt was Woodward’s gross inaccuracy, Murray mused that as a result, he began to think that President Nixon was framed by Woodward’s similarly false reporting during the Watergate scandal. While Murray was not making a serious allegation about Watergate, in fact he was generally correct:

President Donald Trump will sign an executive order making English the official language of the United States.
Despite English being the predominant language, the U.S. has never had a national language at the federal level...
The summary of the order said the goal of making English the national language is to promote unity, establish efficiency in the government and provide a pathway to civic engagement.
Let's Aim for Historical Accuracy

As an amateur historian -- and probably not a good one -- I go nuts when I see amateurish fictions tendered as core premises. This is no more frequently found than in Hollywood; but do not kid yourself, it is not confined to Hollywood...Of course, there are other mistakes, but the grandest mistake of all is Islam.
It is now coming out into the popular realm that the historicity of Mohammed may be a total fabrication. Not merely a distortion, but a total fabrication. Robert Spencer has written a polemic questioning the whole historicity of Islam’s founder. And not just Robert Spencer, but Dr. Jay Smith.

Trump's Effort To Politicize The Department
of Justice 24 replies
REP. JAMIE RASKIN: Well, the Department of Justice traditionally has enjoyed institutional independence from the office of the president. The president has not ordered investigations into specific individuals or terminated investigations into others. That principle was, of course, tested during Donald Trump’s first presidential administration. He seemed to want to treat the Department of Justice as a mere adjunct of his own presidency, under the unitary executive theory.
Welcome to Orwell’s World

George Orwell, that idealistic socialist disillusioned by the Soviet “Workers’ Paradise” (what the great Ronald Reagan called the Evil Empire), took special note of how communists perverted language. Famous, in 1984, the motto was “War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength.” In our time, as well, our speech is polluted by words that do not speak the truth but cover it up. Here are some of them.
Below is my answer to Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s (D-Texas) burning questions and observations, which she cried out at a recent congressional hearing:
You tell me which white man was dragged outta their homes! You tell me which one of them got dragged all the way across an ocean and told that you’re gonna go to work! We’re gonna steal your wives — we’re gonna rape your wives. That didn’t happen!
Trump’s nomination of Kash Patel threatens to turn the FBI into an instrument of personal presidential power.For more than four decades before Donald Trump assumed the presidency, the FBI director was a position above politics. A new president might choose a political ally as attorney general, but the FBI director was different. ...And so it continued into the 21st century. Except in a single case of serious scandal, Senate-confirmed FBI directors stayed in their post until they quit or until their 10-year term expired. Never, never, never was a Senate-confirmed FBI director fired so that the president could replace him with a loyalist.
After the results from this week’s Presidential election shocked Democrats across the country, following months of being told by disingenuous polls that Kamala was leading or neck-and-neck with President Trump in each of the swing states, some have begun to call for audits and investigations. The proverbial shoe is now on the other foot.
While Kamala has conceded defeat to President Trump and Democrat politicians have remained relatively silent in these calls, constituents have had a different sentiment and have taken to social media to insist something is amiss.
Kamala Harris and rapper Lizzo held a campaign rally in Detroit, Michigan on Saturday.
Harris needed a celebrity rapper to drum up support.
But Lizzo never performed.
A visibly exhausted Kamala Harris was on stage in Detroit for only six minutes and 36 seconds.
In contrast, President Trump was on stage in Detroit Saturday night for 1 hour and 27 minutes.
The 2020 Theft Saved This Country

Self-professed radio guru Jessie Kelly recently did a show discussing the reality that, often, what seems like a win in life can turn out to be a loss, and what seems like a loss can turn out to be a win.
I was thinking about this regarding the uproar from the vice-presidential debate question to JD Vance whether he thought Trump lost in 2020. First, let’s state the obvious… of course, Trump won in 2020...So, at first glance, this looks like -- and felt like -- a significant loss for the right and conservatism...But was it?

Polls Show Senate Control Is Slipping
From Their Grasp 8 replies
New polling numbers out of the states of Ohio and Wisconsin are very good news for Mitch McConnell and very bad news for Chuck Schumer. Panic seems to be setting in for Democrats as they see their chances of retaining control of the Senate slip from their grasp.
In Ohio, Democrat incumbent Sherrod Brown is consistently polling behind his Republican rival, Bernie Moreno. RedState reported last week on polling from RMG Research that showed Moreno ahead of Brown by a 48 percent to 46 percent margin. New polling out from ActiVote confirms Moreno's lead, with the new data having Moreno sitting at 51.1 percent while Brown is at 48.9 percent.
For weird characters like Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, now Kamala Harris's running mate, there is no such thing as human nature.
Which is why he and his woke coevals are constantly in for a surprise when they make human beings into their guinea pigs for a Better World.
And this is particularly obvious in matters involving children and their identities. It's very well known that boys, when given Barbie dolls to play with will turn them into guns for cowboy play.
Writer Kira Davis saw what happened when Tim Walz's wokesterly idea of putting tampon and maxipad dispensers in the boys' room of her kids' high school in California.

Warren, Mich. — Bernie Sanders is standing alone on the back of a pickup truck shouting into a bullhorn.
He’s facing several hundred ecstatic voters huddled outside a suburban Detroit high school — the group that did not fit inside the high school’s gym or two overflow rooms. The crowd screams in delight when he tells them that a combined total of 9,000 people had shown up for the rally.
“What all of this tells me, is not just in Michigan or in Vermont, the people of this country will not allow us to move toward oligarchy. They will not allow Trump to take us into authoritarianism,” Sanders yelled.
Folks, it's official. Kamala Harris is beginning to contemplate what needs to be done in terms of recognizing the importance of understanding the steps she must take to seriously consider thinking about running for governor of California in 2026. This bombshell revelation was exclusively reported by Eugene Daniels, the Politico fashion icon and "Kamala Harris expert" who will soon join MSNBC as weekend show cohost. It was his "final scoop" for the Virginia-based news blog, which is located many, many floors below the Washington Free Beacon. According to Daniels, the failed presidential candidate is getting "serious about considering" a run
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) admitted to Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk that the Democrats have taken wildly unpopular positions on certain issues — such as men competing in women’s sports — but will continue maintaining such losing stances as a matter of “principle.”
“I don’t mind losing. Sometimes you lose on principle,” the California governor told Kirk during Thursday’s episode of the This Is Gavin Newsom podcast.
As Catholics around the world celebrate Lent, the Vatican, under the stewardship of radical leftist Pope Francis, wants to make sure that Ramadan is at the forefront.
In a Ramadan message to Muslims, authored by Prefect George Jacob Cardinal Koovakad and Secretary Msgr. Indunil Kodithuwakku Janakaratne Kankanamalage, the Vatican highlighted that the two religious seasons seasons coinciding is “a unique opportunity to walk, side by side.”
The message, addressed to the Church’s ‘Muslim brothers and sisters,’ reads, “At the beginning of the month of Ramadan, the Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue offers you its warmest greetings and friendship. This time of
Senator Andy Kim (D-NJ) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that it was “offensive” Republicans and President Donald Trump were blocking transgender students from playing in women’s sports
Kim said, “We want to make sure that these decisions are made by the communities whether it’s schools and and others that are the ones closest to us. And understand what we know is that we’re talking about a handful of people, a handful of athletes around the country. These decisions can be made in a way that doesn’t require the entirety of the federal government to come in on top of that. You know what I’ll just say
Gurpreet Singh was handcuffed, his legs shackled and a chain tied around his waist. He was led on to the tarmac in Texas by US Border Patrol, towards a waiting C-17 military transport aircraft.
It was 3 February and, after a months-long journey, he realised his dream of living in America was over. He was being deported back to India. "It felt like the ground was slipping away from underneath my feet," he said.
Gurpreet, 39, was one of thousands of Indians in recent years to have spent their life savings and crossed continents to enter the US illegally through its southern border, as they sought to escape an unemployment crisis back

Payton McNabb, the woman seriously injured in high school by a transgender athlete, has been expelled from her college sorority after she spoke out about a male using the women’s bathroom at her school.
McNabb says she received a letter from Delta Zeta, which claims she was ousted from the organization for “bullying” a transgender person by taking video and posting it to her social media when she was confronted by the trans person inside the bathroom at Western Carolina University. (X Video)
Many documents signed by President Joe Biden were done so using an autopen,
according to a new report by an arm of the
conservative Heritage Foundation, sparking
questions over who was pulling the strings
during the former president's four years in
office.
'Whoever Controlled the Autopen Controlled the Presidency,' the Oversight Project wrote in a post on X on Thursday.
'We gathered every document we could find with Biden's signature over the course of his presidency. All used the same autopen signature except for the announcement that the former President was dropping out of the race last year,' it continued.

ActBlue is one more brick in the “Blue Wall” giving way under scandal.
The warm-fuzzy marketing appeal of ActBlue to attract Democratic “small donors” has turned into the party’s worst nightmare: It is now being accused of operating a “money-laundering operation” as the Democratic party’s main fundraising platform, according to Republican lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee.
Suspicions surfaced when small donor funds reached billions with the math failing to add up.
“We are investigating potentially fraudulent and illicit financial activity” in connection with ActBlue’s network of on-line platforms, read a letter addressed to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen by Republican lawmakers Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Rep. Nick Langworthy (R-NY).
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) on Saturday joined in on the new Democrat strategy to fight back against President Trump's agenda, which involves cursing to seem super-edgy while producing videos worthy of entry into the Cringe Hall of Fame.Swalwell took to TikTok and posted a video where he joked that Elon Musk is secretly the "real" president and yet somehow didn't speak at the joint address to Congress this past week.
"What a f****** week, huh?" the bleary-eyed congressman says, holding his phone in selfie mode. "You know how weird this week was?"

An interesting take on the Watergate scandal. If I remember correctly, G. Gordon Liddy stated on his radio program that the purpose of the "burglary" was to obtain evidence of a prostitution ring being run out of DNC HQ.
