[AMGREATNESS] In June 2020, as the country attempted to recover from deadly and destructive riots after the death of St. George Floyd ...the patron saint of Minneapolis, a sterling example for our children and indeed for us all. St. George was martyed by the Devil's agents in blue while standing on a street corner preaching tolerance and racial justice or something like that... , a man from Wisconsin hosted a national conference of self-styled "militia" members in a suburban Columbus, Ohio hotel. Stephen Robeson, founder of the Wisconsin chapter of the Three Percenters, an alleged militia group on the FBI ...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time... ’s naughty list, pestered his contacts across the country to participate in the gathering.People who attended the conference, including two men later charged with federal crimes related to a plot to abduct Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer ...Her Excellency, the dictator of Michigan, 2020 Dem VP contender who never got off the ground... from her vacation cottage in 2020, observed that the hotel was crawling with federal agents.
One of the feds at the conference was none other than Stephen Robeson himself.
Without Robeson’s deep involvement as an FBI informant, the Whitmer kidnapping caper never would have made national headlines a few weeks before Election Day; in fact, the whole pre-election drama wouldn’t have materialized at all. A longtime FBI asset, Robeson was one of at least 12 confidential human sources embedded in the failed plot, which concluded when several men were arrested attempting to buy explosives from an undercover FBI agent in October 2020.
Defense attorneys are building a convincing case that the FBI entrapped their clients, who stand accused of perpetrating an act of domestic terror; a motion to dismiss the federal kidnapping count was filed on Christmas Day. "[The] evidence here demonstrates egregious overreaching by the government’s agents, and by the informants those agents handled," five defense attorneys wrote to a Michigan judge on December 25. FBI agents and informants, according to the filing, "concocted, hatched, and pushed this ’kidnapping plan’ from the beginning, doing so against defendants who explicitly repudiated the plan."
Stephen Robeson played as instrumental a role as any other FBI informant or agent. In addition to organizing the June militia conference, Robeson arranged a military-style training exercise in Wisconsin in July; another gathering in Ohio a week later; a meeting in Delaware in late summer; and a night time surveillance mission outside Whitmer’s vacation home in September. "He also urged people to plan violent mostly peaceful actions against elected officials and to acquire weapons and bomb-making materials," anonymous attendees told BuzzFeed News news hounds in July. "Some of those contacts say he called them nearly every day."
But Robeson had another secret he withheld from the group of would-be kidnappers whom he coaxed into an FBI trap; Robeson is a convicted felon several times over with "a rap sheet stretching back to the early 1980s that includes fraud, assault, and sex with a minor," BuzzFeed News confirmed.
And Robeson didn’t suspend his criminal ways while working on behalf of the federal government. At the same time Robeson was producing all the optics later used as evidence against the Whitmer "kidnappers," he committed at least two other crimes.
Look for a flood of medical tourists hitting all the surrounding states, followed by an increase in the flow of emigrants. Or just an increase in self-identification as persons of colour.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
In a memo sent by the health department Monday, white residents were told not to bother trying to get Pfizer's Paxlovid pill or monoclonal antibody treatments
'Non-white race or Hispanic/Latino ethnicity should be considered a risk factor,' the document says in section marked 'eligibility' for the two types of treatments
The rationale behind the move, the org says, stems from 'longstanding systemic health and social inequities' supposedly subjected on other races
Such disparities 'have contributed to an increased risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19,' the health department goes on to state in the bulletin
The bizarre declaration comes as the Omicron variant continues to spread across the country, ravaging The Empire State
A construction site safety manager in Queens said that as a Black man, he was more worried about the prospect of being stopped by the police than he was about getting Covid-19.
A graduate student in the Bronx who had not gotten vaccinated said her worst fears seemed confirmed when a vaccine that the government was directing to Black and poorer neighborhoods was briefly suspended over a small number of dangerous blood clots.
And a civil rights activist in the Bronx said he grew suspicious when he heard last year that politicians were prioritizing minority neighborhoods for coronavirus vaccinations.
[WASHINGTONTIMES] On Christmas Eve, Eric Green’s Washington Post column, "Ronald Reagan’s Statue Disturbs the Peace at D.C.’s National Airport," called for the 9-foot Gipper to be removed from the route of his afternoon stroll. Those who respect the former president, or just the rule of law, should immediately mount a defense.
Like the title character of Black Sabbath’s "Iron Man," the Reagan statue stands mute, so we must speak up in its defense. Green’s beef is that in 1981, Reagan fired 11,000 air traffic controllers engaged in an illegal strike against the people of the United States.
Here in 2021, the notion of "illegal" seems quaint, as people simply call laws they don’t want to follow "broken." Likewise, "union" is synonymous with "underdog." But it’s average citizens those controllers abandoned at 50,000 feet, breaking their word to the little guy.
Here’s the oath each member of the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization union swore to us, their fellow citizens: "I am not participating in any strike against the government of the United States or any agency thereof, and I will not so participate while an employee of the government of the United States or any agency thereof."
The next time you hear about ’80s greed, think of PATCO’s insurrection, threatening to crash jets into tarmacs "Die Hard 2" style for a few extra bucks. We the people are the bosses for government unions, and (as the national debt shows) there is no profit motive for management. This is distinct from a private union whose workers have a right to demand a fair share of what they produce.
Because of these stark differences, federal unions were originally opposed by Big Labor. AFL-CIO President George Meany said, "It is impossible to bargain collectively with the government," and President Franklin Roosevelt called strikes against taxpayers "unthinkable and intolerable."
Franklin D. Roosevelt scolded the National Federation of Federal Employees, "Since their own services have to do with the functioning of the government, a strike of public employees manifests nothing less than an intent on their part to prevent or obstruct the operations of government until their demands are satisfied."

[NYPOST] After attempting to dunk on the "Let’s Go Brandon" fans, disgraced CBS anchor Dan Fake but Accurate Rather ...the man who put the BS in CBS News. In 2004 he put on a news story that highlighted dissatisfaction with Lt. George W. Bush in the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam war. This was almost casually--but gleefully--debunked by the Blogosphere at large. Rather's face was rubbed in journalistic mud, four of his staff were fired, and within a short time his 43-year (about the same length as Muammar Qadaffi's) career had settled to the bottom, from whence he periodically emits a bubble, which proves he's not dead yet... faced a dunking of his own.Late Wednesday night, Rather tweeted out his take on the popular "Let’s Go Brandon" phrase that has been used as a rebuff against President Joe Biden ...... 46th president of the U.S. Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant. Just look at the competent way he dumped Afghanistan...... "#LetsGoBrandonReallyMeans ’You can’t handle the truth," Rather wrote.
The quote came as a form of irony for some Twitter users as Rather previously stepped down from his position as a CBS anchor after airing a story that contained allegedly forged documents to question President Bush’s service in the National Guard. Several people called out his take based on Rather’s own relationship with "the truth."
Right-wing commentator John Cardillo tweeted, "Dan, Remember when you and your producer fabricated memos to derail Bush 43’s presidency, but you were caught, fired, and shamed off air? Remember that truth?"
"Says the man who literally lost his job for reporting fabrications and lies about GW Bush. Hahah.. you cannot make this stuff up. Let’s Go Dan Rather!" radio talk show host Joe Pagliarulo wrote.
[NYPOST] An embattled shelter and services provider that has been repeatedly lit up for failing to address the homeless situation at Penn Station blew city money on a booze cruise, fast food, and movie tickets for its staff, according to an audit.
Bowery Residents’ Committee charged the city at least $2,653 for the $36,510 catered boat ride, along with $1.4 million in other expenses that were either unsupported or not allowed, the audit by state Comptroller Tom DiNapoli’s office found.
"It’s a cause for concern when the non-profit hired to address the growing homeless crisis has so many red flags on the expenses it bills to the city. Charging taxpayers for a booze cruise is inappropriate at best," DiNapoli said in a statement.
BRC’s work at MTA hubs including Penn Station was previously called "very expensive" and "minimally effective" by the MTA Inspector General.
The non-profit held $527 million in city homeless service contracts as of 2019. DiNapoli’s audit covered its contract to operate the 200-bed Jack Ryan Residence on West 25th Street for mentally ill and chemically-addicted homeless adults.

Well duh, the whole point of these organizations is to enrich the people who work for them.
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] A frivolous federal lawsuit was filed against a conservative couple in Austin, Texas after they partook in a pro-Trump caravan last year that drove alongside Biden's campaign bus while on the 2020 Presidential campaign trail in Texas.
Joeylynn Mesaros, the wife of Robert Mesaros who is also a defendant in the lawsuit, is speaking out that they are being unfairly targeted for exercising their first amendment rights by a collective of Democrat attorneys with an agenda.
"When the Biden bus drove through our city it was second nature for us to show up and represent our presidential candidate, President Trump, and to show our pride for America," Mesaros told Ari Hoffman, host of The Ari Hoffman Show on 570 KVI.
"We drove down the road alongside the bus, thought it would make a cool photo. It was fairly uneventful. We were on the road just a few minutes. It was a fun time, we got a couple good photos, and we didn't think much of it until about eight months later," Mesaros continued, a member of an independent Texas-based Trump caravan group.

The article goes to great lengths to not mention who exactly is doing the suing. Funny, that...
[Federalist] In its recently updated guidance on exposure to COVID-19, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) treats double jabbed individuals that have not received a booster shot the same as unvaccinated ones.
“For people who are unvaccinated or are more than six months out from their second mRNA dose (or more than 2 months after the J&J vaccine) and not yet boosted, CDC now recommends quarantine for 5 days followed by strict mask use for an additional 5 days,” the updated guidance reads. “Alternatively, if a 5-day quarantine is not feasible, it is imperative that an exposed person wear a well-fitting mask at all times when around others for 10 days after exposure. Individuals who have received their booster shot do not need to quarantine following an exposure, but should wear a mask for 10 days after the exposure.”
The move to change the definition of “fully vaccinated” by the federal health agency was predicted by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis last month. During a press conference in Tallahassee, the Republican governor told attendees that “those individuals who have gone through a normal vaccination series for COVID …will be determined to be unvaccinated very soon.”
“They will do that – they are gonna tell you: ‘you’re unvaccinated and you have to get a booster,'” he said, adding that those who choose not to get a booster “could potentially face loss of employment or other types of penalties.”
The comments sparked outcry from legacy media fact-checkers, who were quick to label the governor’s prediction as false. Writing in The Independent, Andrew Feinberg penned an article titled “Fact Check: DeSantis falsely claims vaccinated citizens without boosters could be declared unvaccinated and lose their jobs,” in which he claims that DeSantis was “lying about the possibility that Covid-19 boosters will be used to force people out of their jobs.”
“Centers for Disease Control Director Rochelle Walensky has repeatedly denied that the Biden administration plans to consider people who do not get boosters to be unvaccinated.” he wrote.

[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Democrat Rep. Debbie Dingell
...the blond, blue-eyed widow of John Dingell, who served in the House for Michigan districts for almost sixty years, having inherited his first seat from his father. No wonder she’s emotional about the latest family seat disappearing...
grew emotional on Wednesday night over having to leave her hometown of Dearborn, Michigan in order to keep serving in Congress after redistricting swiped her seat ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.For the first time in history, Michigan's new map was drawn by an independent commission rather than political operators. That saw the state's number of House seats drop from 14 to 13, and is forcing Dingell out of the 12th Congressional District she took over from her husband, late longtime Rep. John Dingell ...Octogenarian Dem representative-for-life from Michigan. He was first elected in the Upper Jurassic, when (D) stood for Dinosaur... Members of her party are watching nervously as next year's races begin to take shape with 23 less Democrat incumbents -- all of whom are either retiring or seeking a different office.
At the same time, Republicans are riding on momentum created by their overwhelming performance during November's off-year elections that saw the GOP make gains in state legislatures, local roles and take over the governorship of Virginia. Recent polls have also shown voters increasingly favoring another Republican-majority Congress.
'Look I'm just starting to tear. So I'm trying not to let this get to me because Ann Arbor is a growing city too, and the fact of the matter is that most of the people I represent will be in this new district,' Dingell told Fox 2 bankrupt, increasingly impoverished, reliably Democrat, Detroit ... ruled by Democrats since 1962. A city whose Golden Age included the Purple Gang... Her interviewer asked, 'I saw you wipe away a tear. Did you think you’d get this emotional talking about this?'
'No, I didn't,' Dingell answered. 'Because I, you know, I lived there with my husband for a long time. But I still have all the people that I love.'

It is always a sad day when a lucrative, long-running grift comes to an end. And as our Periwinkle Moderator points out, legislatin' been very very good to the Dingell clan for decades.
Debbie also might be sad because she knows her brand is not progressive enough for the hipsters in Ann Arbor.

I can't understand all the fuss here. She'll rent an apartment in the new district and continue to dwell in her Dearborn mansion.

[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] The liberal media that has been silent about Hunter Biden ...son of President Joe: cashiered from the Navy, a crackhead, wheeler dealer, leg humper, horn dog, and general all around ne'er do well. We're supposed to feel sorry for him... has now gone after Ted Cruz; ...US Senator from Texas. Republican contender for president in 2016, his stiff and abrasive manner earned him the title most hated man in the Senate. After a close win over Beto O'Rourke, who tried to out-Lastino him, he grew a beard and let his biting wit shine through. Cruz's comments have been known to leave life-threatening wounds at better than forty feet... ’s young daughter. The Dallas Observer slammed Senator Tex Cruz after discovering a TikTok video in which his 13-year-old daughter said she disagrees with her father.Caroline Cruz told her TikTok audience about the difficulties of having a prominent politician for a father, and said that she doesn't always agree with him. "A lot of people judge me based upon him at first glance," Caroline said, "but I really disagree with most of his views."
"Dang," wrote the Dallas Observer. "That diss probably stung Cruz more than the time Caroline dodged his embrace on the campaign trail."
"I got a lot of new followers because of my father. I was thinking like, pros and cons, because some people are asking, I don't know," Caroline said.
She said the gifts are nice, but the security detail is not, and that on a Christmas card sent out by the family, "they literally made my shirt longer." She showed a photo of herself in the crop-top.
The Dallas Observer dredged up stories from former Trump aide Kellyanne Conway's family, and her teenage daughter's public disagreements with her, comparing her to Caroline Cruz.
The outlet dug into her tweets, such as when a user tweeted that her dad was "awesome" and she replied "ok." They slammed the family's Christmas card, saying that Caroline "looks miserable." It's as though they've never encountered a 13-year-old girl before. They conclude that perhaps "Caroline will get Dire Revenge at the ballot box," despite the fact that eventually would be 5 years away.
Corporate media has declined to report on the adult son of President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. The nincompoop who dumped Afghanistan. The copier doesdn't exist that could reelect him.... and his notorious escapades. Hunter Biden, who left his laptop in a Delaware repair shop, abandoning it before it landed in the hands of the New York Post, which then reported, at length, on his illicit escapades and influence peddling, has been given a pass by corporate media outlets.
