I've never skipped a State of the Union address, but this year it crossed my mind. Well, just a few seconds of Trump's overly long and mostly boring speech made me glad that I watched it live.
Nancy Pelosi's closed-eyes smirk of condescension, which was preceded by some eloquent eye-rolling, was a memorable moment. It followed Trump's ridiculous claim that the only thing standing between us and prosperity is... investigations into wrongdoing by Trump and his cohorts.
“An economic miracle is taking place in the United States — and the only thing that can stop it are foolish wars, politics or ridiculous partisan investigations,” he said. “If there is going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation. It just doesn’t work that way!”
Hmmm. Interesting bit of illogic.
My literary sensibility says that, in the second sentence above, peace and legislation should be contrasted with -- no big surprise -- contrasting words. War does indeed contrast with peace, but how does investigation contrast with legislation?
Only in Trump's enfeebled brain, apparently. It could well be that he wrote this line and liked how both words ended in tion. And maybe he really does believe that if Democrats investigate him, there's no way he would sign any bipartisan legislation.
But the first part of his speech was all about coming together, bridging political divides, patching over differences for the good of the country. All that feel-goodness was erased by his petulant demand that unless investigations stop, legislation is a no-go.
Which made much of the rest of his speech politically irrelevant.
Democrats aren't going to stop investigating all things Trumpian. Neither is Mueller. Nor are other federal investigators in the Southern District of New York and elsewhere.
So if Trump wants an infrastructure bill, lower drug prices, money to end HIV, family leave benefits, and stronger border security, he's going to have to suck it up and accept that investigation isn't an antonym of legislation.
Aside from the Pelosi smirk, here's some other things that I enjoyed in tonight's State of the Union address:
-- Seeing the contrast between dark-suited Republican men, mostly, standing and applauding Trump's applause lines while on the other side of the aisle white-clad Democratic women, mostly, sat in their chairs.
-- Watching Democrats look quizzically at each other when Trump spoke words that sounded sort of like something that deserved standing up and clapping for, but nobody wanted to be the first to do this. At first I thought that Dems would follow Pelosi's lead on the standing up front. However, in line with the progressive "herding cats" dictum, fairly early on the Democratic legislators tended to do their own thing.
-- Observing the women in white, who were honoring women's suffrage/fight for rights, stand and applaud each other raucously when Trump noted that more women were in Congress than ever before. What he failed to say, of course, was that many of those women are newly elected Democrats who surfed to victory on a 2018 Blue Wave of opposition to Trump.
Of course, I also spent quite a bit of time screaming "liar" at the TV. Per usual, Trump said a lot of things that weren't true. The Washington Post fact-checkers did a great job cataloging his falsehoods, along with some occasional truth-telling.
The frequent references to World War II, D-Day, Nazis, and concentration camps seemed off-base to me. Sure, these are important subjects. However, they have little or nothing to do with the current State of the Union. Seemingly the veterans and war heroes were dragged out for applause-line purposes, which struck me as wrong.
As did using the child with brain cancer to buttress Trump's call for $500 million (I think it was) to support medical research in the area of childhood cancer. This from a president who has been horribly anti-science and wants to do away with the Affordable Care Act without proposing any viable health insurance alternative.
Hypocrisy, thy name is Donald Trump.
I didn't see Pelosi smirking condescendingly and making faces as much as I expected. She did give a great eye roll when Trump criticized politically motivated investigations. Part of the reason for that is that Trump gave good speech. However, I think Pelosi has difficulty with her jaw or teeth, like TMJ problems. After all, she is 78. That problem may be construed as smirking to a dedicated Trump hater.
You said: "Seeing the contrast between dark-suited Republican men, mostly, standing and applauding Trump's applause lines while on the other side of the aisle white-clad Democratic women, mostly, sat in their chairs."
-- Ha! The last time we saw that many Democrats dressed in white was at a Ku Klux Klan rally.
Jokes aside, the following is very serious and no joke. I don't want the above to dissuade you from reading what's next. A bit long, but any self-proclaimed political junkie owes it to themselves to read it to the end which ties the piece together nicely. Be patient, it's important to at least consider this..
ALL DOTS CONNECTED...LYNCH PIN LOCATED...
Let’s follow the trail...... Everyone needs to read this. Slowly, and patiently, because it’s very important......
Here's what it looks like when all the pieces are sewn together. It smells like conspiracy and treason.
IT IS WHY THEY WANT TRUMP OUT OF THE WAY.
From 2001 to 2005 there was an ongoing investigation into the Clinton Foundation.
A Grand Jury had been impaneled.
Governments from around the world had donated to the “Charity”.
Yet, from 2001 to 2003 none of those “Donations” to the Clinton Foundation were declared.
Hmmm, now you would think that an honest investigator would be able to figure this out.
Guess who took over this investigation in 2002?
Bet you can’t guess.
None other than James Comey.
Now, that’s interesting, isn’t it?
Guess who was transferred in to the Internal Revenue Service to run the Tax Exemption Branch of the IRS?
Your friend and mine, Lois “Be on The Look Out” (BOLO) Lerner.
Now, that’s interesting, isn’t it?
It gets better, well not really, but this is all just a series of strange coincidences, right?
Guess who ran the Tax Division inside the Department of Injustice from 2001 to 2005?
No other than the Assistant Attorney General of the United States, Rod Rosenstein.
Now, that’s interesting, isn’t it?
Guess who was the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation during this time frame?
I know, it’s a miracle, just a coincidence, just an anomaly in statistics and chances, but it was Robert Mueller.
What do all four casting characters have in common?
They all were briefed and/or were front line investigators into the Clinton Foundation Investigation.
Now that’s just a coincidence, right?
Ok, lets chalk the last one up to mere chance.
Let’s fast forward to 2009......
James Comey leaves the Justice Department to go and cash-in at Lockheed Martin.
Hillary Clinton is running the State Department, on her own personal email server, by the way.
The Uranium One “issue” comes to the attention of Hillary.
Like all good public servants do, you know - looking out for America’s best interest, she decides to support the decision and approve the sale of 20% of US Uranium to no other than, the Russians.
Now, you would think that this is a fairly straight-up deal, except that it wasn’t: The People got absolutely nothing out of it.
However, prior to the sales approval, none other than Bill Clinton goes to Moscow, gets paid 500K for a one hour speech, then meets with Vladimir Putin at his home for a few hours.
Ok, no big deal right?
Well, not so fast: the FBI had a mole inside the money laundering and bribery scheme.
Guess who was the FBI Director during this time?
Yep, Robert Mueller.
He even delivered a Uranium Sample to Moscow in 2009.
Guess who was handling that case within the Justice Department out of the US Attorney’s Office in Maryland?
No other than, Rod Rosenstein.
Guess what happened to the informant?
The Department of Justice placed a GAG order on him and threatened to lock him up if he spoke out about it.
How does 20% of the most strategic asset of the United States of America end up in Russian hands when the FBI has an informant, a mole, providing inside information to the FBI on the criminal enterprise?
Guess what happened soon after the sale was approved?
~145 million dollars in “donations” made their way into the Clinton Foundation from entities directly connected to the Uranium One deal.
Guess who was still at the Internal Revenue Service working the Charitable Division?
No other than, Lois Lerner.
Ok, that’s all just another series of coincidences. Nothing to see here, right?
Let’s fast forward to 2015.
Due to a series of tragic events in Benghazi and after the 9 “investigations” the House, Senate and at State Department, Trey Gowdy who was running the 10th investigation as Chairman of the Select Committee on Benghazi discovers that The Hillary ran the State Department on an unclassified, unauthorized, outlaw personal email server.
He also discovered that none of those emails had been turned over when she departed her “Public Service” as Secretary of State which was required by law.
He also discovered that there was Top Secret information contained within her personally archived email. ( Let's not forget - at least 10 CIA spies in china were killed by the Chinese because of the leaks, and god knows what else occurred )
Sparing you the State Departments cover up, the nostrums they floated, the delay tactics that were employed and the outright lies that were spewed forth from the necks of the Kerry State Department, we shall leave it with this…… they did everything humanly possible to cover for Hillary.
Now this is amazing: guess who became FBI Director in 2013?
Guess who secured 17 no-bid contracts for his employer (Lockheed Martin) with the State Department and was rewarded with a six million dollar thank you present when he departed his employer?
No other than James Comey.
Amazing how all those no-bids just went right through at State, huh?
Now he is the FBI Director in charge of the “Clinton Email Investigation” after of course his FBI Investigates the Lois Lerner “Matter” at the Internal Revenue Service and exonerates her.
Nope.... couldn’t find any crimes there.
Can you guess what happened next?
In April 2016, James Comey drafts an exoneration letter of Hillary Rodham Clinton, meanwhile the DOJ is handing out immunity deals like candy.
They didn’t even convene a Grand Jury.
Like a lightning bolt of statistical impossibility, like a miracle from God himself, like the true “Gangsta” Comey is, James steps out into the cameras of an awaiting press conference on July the 5th of 2016, and exonerates The Hillary from any wrongdoing.
Can you see the pattern?
It goes on and on, Rosenstein becomes Asst. Attorney General, Comey gets fired based upon a letter by Rosenstein, Comey leaks government information to the press, Mueller is assigned to the Russian Investigation sham by Rosenstein to provide cover for decades of malfeasance within the FBI and DOJ and the story continues.
FISA Abuse, political espionage.... pick a crime, any crime, chances are...... this group and a few others did it.
All the same players.
All compromised and conflicted.
All working fervently to NOT go to jail themselves.
All connected in one way or another to the Clintons.
They are like battery acid, they corrode and corrupt everything they touch.
How many lives have these two destroyed?
As of this writing, the Clinton Foundation, in its 20+ years of operation of being the largest International Charity Fraud in the history of mankind, has never been audited by the Internal Revenue Service.
Let us not forget that Comey's brother works for DLA Piper, the law firm that does the Clinton Foundation's taxes.
And see, the person that is the common denominator to all the crimes above and still doing her evil escape legal maneuvers at the top of the 3 Letter USA Agencies? Yep, that would be Hillary R. Clinton!
WHO IS LISA BARSOOMIAN?
Let’s learn a little about Mrs. Lisa H. Barsoomian’s background.
Lisa H. Barsoomian, a US Attorney that graduated from Georgetown Law, is a protege of James Comey and Robert Mueller.
Barsoomian, with her boss R. Craig Lawrence, represented Bill Clinton in 1998.
Lawrence also represented:
Robert Mueller three times;
James Comey five times;
Barack Obama 45 times;
Kathleen Sebelius 56 times;
Bill Clinton 40 times; and
Hillary Clinton 17 times.
Between 1998 and 2017, Barsoomian herself represented the FBI at least five times.
You may be saying to yourself, OK, who cares? Who cares about the work history of this Barsoomian woman?
Apparently someone does, because someone out there cares so much that they’ve “purged” all Barsoomian court documents for her Clinton representation in Hamburg vs. Clinton in 1998 and its appeal in 1999 from the DC District and Appeals Court dockets (?).
Someone out there cares so much that the internet has been “purged” of all information pertaining to Barsoomian.
Historically, this indicates that the individual is a protected CIA operative. Additionally, Lisa Barsoomian has specialized in opposing Freedom of Information Act requests on behalf of the intelligence community. And, although Barsoomian has been involved in hundreds of cases representing the DC Office of the US Attorney, her email address is Lisa Barsoomian at NIH gov. The NIH stands for National Institutes of Health.
This is a tactic routinely used by the CIA to protect an operative by using another government organization to shield their activities.
It’s a cover, so big deal, right? I mean what does one more attorney with ties to the US intelligence community really matter?
It deals with Trump and his recent tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum imports, the border wall, DACA, everything coming out of California, the Uni-party unrelenting opposition to President Trump, the Clapper leaks, the Comey leaks, Attorney General Jeff Sessions recusal and subsequent 14 month nap with occasional forays into the marijuana legalization mix …. and last but not least Mueller’s never-ending investigation into collusion between the Trump team and the Russians.
Why does Barsoomian, CIA operative, merit any mention?
BECAUSE….
She is Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s WIFE….That’s why!!
Jaw dropping, shocking and extremely sad that this info has never been exposed-
This information is bullet proof and cannot be blown off by leftists ... and will convince many not paying attention that we have a soft coup happening now..
