Durham can't use biased DC jurors as an excuse this time. Nor can he blame this loss on one of his prosecutors. VA jurors handed Durham this acquittal, a personal defeat since he argued the slam-dunk case himself. His record is 1-3 and the only reason he "won" the Clinesmith conviction (which the IG referred to him) is b/c Clinesmith entered a guilty plea and Durham didnt have to go to trial. Durham still lost in the sentencing phase. He argued for jail time but Clinesmith got off with a slap on the wrist. Durham failed to put him behind bars. He could have charged Clinesmith with the more serious crime of altering a CIA document, but instead negotiated a deal letting him plead to the lesser offense of lying to a government agency. Clinesmith got his law license back

FLASHBACK: Durham Prosecutes FBI Informants, While Protecting Their Handlers
"Durham was supposed to clean up the FBI cesspool, but it doesn't look like he's going to be doing that," said Paul Kamenar, counsel to the National Legal and Policy Center, a Washington watchdog group.

Durham Prosecutes FBI Informants, While Protecting Their Handlers
By Paul Sperry, RealClearInvestigations
September 29, 2022
Since being named special counsel in October 2020, John Durham has investigated or indicted several unscrupulous anti-Trump informants. But he has spared the FBI agents who handled them, raising suspicions he's letting investigators off the hook in his waning investigation of misconduct in the Russiagate probe.
In recent court filings, Durham has portrayed the G-men as naive recipients of bad information, tricked into opening improper investigations targeting Donald Trump and obtaining invalid warrants to spy on one of his advisers.
But as the cases against the informants have gone to trial, defense lawyers have revealed evidence that cuts against that narrative. FBI investigators look less like guileless victims and more like willing partners in the fraudulent schemes Durham has brought to light.
Notwithstanding his reputation as a tough, intrepid prosecutor, Durham has made excuses for the misconduct of FBI agents, providing them a ready-made defense against any possible future prosecution, according to legal experts.
"Durham was supposed to clean up the FBI cesspool, but it doesn't look like he's going to be doing that," said Paul Kamenar, counsel to the National Legal and Policy Center, a Washington watchdog group. "He started with a bang and is ending with a whimper."
In the latest example, critics point to a flurry of pretrial motions in Durham's case against former FBI informant Igor Danchenko, the primary source for the false claims regarding Trump and Russia advanced by the opposition research paid for by Hillary Clinton's campaign known as the Steele dossier.
Next month, Danchenko faces charges he lied to FBI investigators multiple times about the sourcing of the information in the dossier, which the bureau used to secure wiretap warrants to spy on a former Trump campaign adviser. Relying on Danchenko's reporting, the FBI claimed that the adviser, Carter Page, was a Russian agent at the center of "a well-developed conspiracy of cooperation" between Trump and the Kremlin to steal the 2016 presidential election.

Does This Economy Feel ‘Good as Hell’?
The president’s most recent boast about his incredible economic record falls as flat as all the rest of his lies.
“The economy is strong as hell,” Joe Biden declared as he chewed and swallowed a bite of another ice cream cone. We can hardly fault him for the bizarre comment; ice cream can sometimes give you a brain freeze.
“I’m not concerned about the strength of the dollar; I’m concerned about the rest of the world. Does that make sense?” he said in answer to a reporter’s question. “Inflation is worldwide, worse off everywhere else than it is in the United States,” he added. “So the problem is the lack of economic growth and sound policy in other countries, not so much ours.”
Inflation is indeed high around the world, but it’s false to say it’s “worse off everywhere else.” While the eurozone is enduring double-digit inflation, Canada, Australia, Japan, and Israel are among the numerous examples of countries with inflation rates lower than America’s 8.2%. Joe just can’t quit lying.
In any case, who are you gonna believe — Biden’s ice cream proclamation or your lyin’ eyes?
That “strong as hell” economy of ours has cost us all dearly. “We’ve now had seven straight months of 8%+ inflation,” write Heritage Foundation economists Stephen Moore and E.J. Antoni. (And, by the way, last month’s rate was 8.2% over last September, which was already at 5.4% over the previous year.) “We have calculated that over the past 20 months, this rise in consumer prices over wages means that the average family in America has lost nearly $6,000 in purchasing power.”
That’s causing people to burn through their savings. “Since President Biden took office,” Moore and Antoni add, “monthly savings have collapsed, falling 83%.” Biden loves to crow about building the economy from the bottom up and that inflation is just “a high-class problem.” The reality is just the opposite because he’s hollowing out the middle class.
The Dow Jones is down more than 4% since Biden’s inauguration, while the S&P 500 is down more than 5% — and virtually all of the loss came in 2022. According to Moore and Antoni: “Tie it all together and we calculate that since the start of this year, 401(k) plans have suffered $2.1 trillion in losses. The average 401(k) plan had over $135,000 at the start of this year. Today, those assets have shrunk on average to about $101,000. In other words, the average 401(k) plan is down about $34,000 — more than 25% in less than one year!”
Overall, the U.S. economy has contracted for two straight quarters, which used to be the generally accepted definition of a recession until the Leftmedia decided that Democrats can’t cause recessions in an election year. The third-quarter GDP report will hit soon — just in time for November’s election. If it somehow reveals tepid growth, it will be in spite of the efforts of the Democrat-controlled Federal Reserve to slow economic growth with interest rate increases on steroids.
Joe Biden is the Inflation King.

Legislating the Evil Fruits of ‘Sexual Freedom’
Leftist lawmakers in Virginia and Michigan are trying to push through laws that take away parental rights.
Wokeism has such a hold over Democrats that state legislators in Michigan and Virginia are trying to push through laws that infringe on parental rights and are an endangerment to children.
In Virginia, Governor Glenn Youngkin has introduced a policy initiative that restores parental authority over their children. Under his policy, parents — who formally did not have any say in the matter — now can decide if they will allow their child to “transition” to the opposite sex. If a parent does allow a child to do so, that parent also has control over how it happens at school. Previously, schools could socially transition students — such as using preferred pronouns and new names that conform with students’ declared gender identity — without their parents’ knowledge or consent. In other words, schools acted as a gateway drug to transgenderism.
Youngkin had this to say about his new policy: “Parents have a fundamental right to be engaged in their children’s lives. And, oh, by the way, children have a right to have parents engaged in their life. And we needed to fix a wrong … children don’t belong to the state. They belong to families. And so, in these most important decisions, step one has to be to engage parents, not to the exclusion of a trusted teacher or an adviser, but to make sure that parents are involved in their children’s lives.”
Despicably, Virginia Democrat Delegate Elizabeth Guzman has a counterattack to this perfectly reasonable position of Youngkin’s (championing parental rights is the reason he got elected). She wants to introduce legislation that could have parents thrown in jail for not “affirming” their gender-confused progeny. According to Guzman, parental abuse could be something as mundane as using the “wrong” pronoun. When asked about her forthcoming legislation being framed as criminalizing parents, her response was: “No, it’s not. It’s educating parents because the law tells you the dos and don'ts. So this law is telling you do not abuse your children because they are LGBTQ.”
Political analyst Matt Vespa aptly sums up the stakes should this law go into effect: “Child abuse laws being politicized this way is going to get kids killed.” Given the suicide rate among the gender dysphoric, he’s not wrong.
Michigan is trying to codify abortion as a right in the state constitution. The language of the half-baked amendment, Proposal 3, which is on the November ballot, is so vague that it allows for minors to partake not only of abortion but any “reproductive health” interventions, including chopping off healthy breasts or accessing cross-sex hormones. Proposal 3 would not reserve the rights of the parents to be present for, advocate for, or guide their minor child in any of these matters.
The contentiousness of Proposal 3 has already resulted in a casualty. Eighty-four-year-old pro-lifer Joan Jacobson was shot while out canvasing for the “Say No” contingent of this proposal. Her attacker was the husband of a woman she had gotten into a discussion with over what constituted an abortion. Jacobson left when she was asked, but the husband shot her “by accident” without provocation. This act of political violence has widely been silenced by the mainstream media.
There is a link that leftists are trying to make between abortion and transgenderism: sexual freedom. But the real link between the two is death. Death of the soul, death of the mind, death of an unborn child, and ultimately death of the family. We cannot let that happen.

Unhinged Pelosi Lost It on J6
In a conveniently timed video in which she threatened to “punch out” Donald Trump, the desperate soon-to-be-former speaker added to her long list of disgraces.
Has there ever been a more disgraceful speaker of the House than Nancy Pelosi?
Unfortunately, the answer is yes. Dennis Hastert, a Republican who served as speaker from 1999 to 2007, was a serial child rapist as a high school wrestling coach before he ran for Congress and therefore set the bar about as low as can be.
But were it not for a pedophile, Pelosi would surely take the cake. She’s certainly the most infantile of speakers, having publicly and pre-meditatively torn up Donald Trump’s State of the Union speech in 2020. She’s also the most entitled, having blatantly flouted the COVID-19 lockdown rules she helped impose on the rest of us, having enriched herself with unethical and uncannily successful investments in companies that her legislative body regulates, having rigged the January 6 House investigation by refusing to allow real Republicans to be represented on the committee, and having taken Holy Communion while ardently supporting abortion on demand right up until the moment of birth.
And now we can add the promotion of political violence to Pelosi’s disgraceful résumé.
Newly released footage from January 6, 2021, shows Pelosi threatening to physically assault then-President Donald Trump, if he had only dared to join those rioters at the Capitol that day.
The video clip was recorded by Pelosi’s filmmaker daughter, Alexandra, and was released Thursday during the January 6 House Committee hearings. An extended version of the clip was later aired on CNN, which, understandably, will do just about anything for ratings.
“I hope he comes. I’m going to punch him out,” an unhinged Pelosi tells her Chief of Staff Terri McCullough, who discourages her boss from making the comments. “I’ve been waiting for this, for trespassing on the Capitol grounds. I’m going to punch him out.”
“I’m going to go to jail,” the spittle-spewing speaker said, “and I’m going to be happy.”
Pelosi thus becomes the latest in a long line of phony-tough Democrats vowing political violence toward this particular American president, who seems to have some sort of magical ability to turn his political opponents into raving lunatics. Although we must admit: The image of Pelosi running up to Trump, swinging wildly at him, landing lefts and rights to the middle of his arm while he keeps in place a self-defending stiff-arm to her face is indeed amusing.
And all this because Trump, during his speech that day near the White House, had encouraged his tens of thousands of supporters to march to the Capitol and “peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”
In another section of released video, Pelosi keeps asking about the whereabouts of the National Guard. She calls DC Mayor Muriel Bowser about the Guard. Of course, Trump had authorized deployment of Guard troops to the Capitol days prior to January 6, just in case things got out of hand, but Pelosi refused to take him up on it. Why? And why hasn’t she been held accountable for this failure, this terrible lapse of judgment?
Why hasn’t Pelosi also been held accountable for that rigged January 6 Committee, which from the onset denied the American people a full and fair hearing about the events of the Capitol riot?
“So Nancy Pelosi refuses Trump’s request for a national guard presence on Jan 6 and simultaneously has a documentary film crew in her office where you can hear her poorly delivered tough guy act,” tweeted Donald Trump Jr. shortly after the release of the video. “I’m sure I’ll be called conspiracy theorist for thinking this isn’t a coincidence!”
He’s right about the release not being a coincidence. Nancy Pelosi can read a poll, and she no doubt senses that in three weeks’ time, the American people are going to deliver a stern rebuke to her and her Democrat Party, and she’ll lose her speakership in the process.
That’s why her sham J6 committee voted unanimously last week to subpoena the former president. “Why didn’t the Unselect Committee ask me to testify months ago?” Trump immediately asked.The answer, again, as our Nate Jackson pointed out, is because there’s an election coming up, and because Trump makes a compelling villain — especially to those who haven’t bothered to read his 15-page takedown of the rigged committee and its one-sided work.
Despite all this choreography, and as if on cue, Pelosi’s Leftmedia allies gushed en masse about what a “bada**” she is, one after another after another. Former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann cloyingly described the video as “the greatest sound bite of the last seven years. It is what we have been dreaming to say and what we have been waiting to hear. Thank you, Nancy Pelosi!”
“Thank you”? For what? For promoting violence against a sitting U.S. president and for disgracing herself and the office?
Desperate times call for desperate measures, and Nancy Pelosi is indeed desperate.

Australia reverses recognition of West Jerusalem as Israel's capital
Australia's announcement comes exactly two weeks before Israel is set to hold elections.
Australia's Foreign Ministry announced Tuesday it is reversing the policy of the country's former conservative prime minister by no longer recognizing West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
"Jerusalem is a final status issue that should be resolved as part of any peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian people," Foreign Minister Penny Wong said. "Australia's embassy has always been, and remains, in Tel Aviv."
Australia recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel under conservative Prime Minister Scott Morrison in 2018, just months after former U.S. President Donald Trump relocated the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
"In light of the way in which this decision was made in Australia, as a hasty response to an incorrect report in the media, we can only hope that the Australian government manages other matters more seriously and professionally," Israeli Interim Prime Minister Yair Lapid said.
Australia's announcement comes exactly two weeks before Israel is set to hold elections. Israeli politicians, such as former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, slammed Lapid after Australia's announcement.
"Is it any wonder that Australia canceled its decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, when … Lapid says that he wants to establish a Palestinian state?" Netanyahu wrote on Twitter, as translated.
Other members of Netanyahu's Likud party such as Miri Regev and Yoav Kisch are pointing to Australia's decision to criticize Lapid's leadership.
