Corruption Galore! The Kamel's a Phony! Kennedy Lore! Putin Now Lonely!

“Michelle Obama Wore $3K Pantsuit to DNC While Touting her Parents Were ‘Suspicious’ of the Wealthy” (Fox News)
Michelle’s precise quote: Her parents were “suspicious of folks who took more than they needed.”
The Obamas’ Martha’s Vineyard Estate: $12 million+…
The Obamas’ Washington, D.C. estate: $8 million+…
Question: Is that enough for them? Or are they still needy?
I remember the good old days when Harry S. Truman returned to his modest abode in Independence, Missouri.
And Jimmy Carter returned to his modest house in Plains, Georgia.
The Obamas’ Hawaiian estate: $8.7 million+.
Today’s Democrats – what I call the New Democrats – are different than those who came before them.
“Damning Impeachment Report Shows Why Dems were Desperate to Get Rid of Corrupt Biden” (NY Post)
Excerpt from Majority Staff Impeachment Report published 19 August:
“President Biden's participation in this conspiracy to enrich his family constitutes impeachable conduct. By monetizing the Vice Presidency for his family's benefit, he abused his office of public trust, placing the welfare of his family ahead of the welfare of the United States. He also put foreign interests ahead of the interests of the American people.”
Excerpt from House Committee on Oversight and Accountability press release, 18 August:
"President Biden's legacy is marked by abuse of public office, corruption, and obstruction. The evidence produced by our impeachment inquiry is the strongest case for impeachment of a sitting president the House of Representatives has ever investigated.
“Americans now know Joe Biden was 'the brand' the Bidens sold around the world to enrich the Biden family, and Joe Biden knew of, benefitted from, and participated in his family's influence peddling schemes.
Corruption was a Biden Family Affair
“The entire Biden influence peddling model relied on Joe Biden's presence – at meetings, on the phone, or at dinners – to demonstrate his family members' influence over him, and he repeatedly provided it.
“Throughout our impeachment inquiry of President Biden, the Biden-Harris Administration has sought to obstruct us every step of the way.”
One may speculate that Nancy Pelosi, to clinch her coup, told Biden she could either exhibit or bury his bones – take your pick, Joe.
Joe’s legacy
“What Nancy Pelosi Thinks of Kamala Harris” (Daily Mail)
The Kackling Kamel’s Koronation was Joe Biden’s revenge on Nancy Pelosi, who is reported to harbor serious doubts about Kackle’s nomination. (It is telling that Pelosi supported the Kamel’s opponent in Cali’s Attorney General election.)
Pelosi was willing to sacrifice her family’s half-a-century friendship with the Biden bunch because of her pathological fear of a Donald Trump rebound and a belief that he would have triumphed over jilted Joe.
Chuck & Nance, driven insane by Trump after an acrimonious WH meeting
Pelosi’s fears are not vanquished with Kackle as her party’s nominee. She wanted her golden boy Goofy Gav to be the nominee, with Michigan’s Big Gretch as running mate. (Gruesome is related to Pelosi through Ron Pelosi, his uncle by marriage.)
“‘Told to Say it was Inclusive’: Newsom’s Joke About Harris’ Nomination Sparks Debate” (The Times of India)
No joke.
What Gav said during a Pod Save America interview: “We went through a very open process, a very inclusive process.” He laughed. “That’s what I’ve been told to say.”
“The Democrats’ COVID Amnesia” (The Atlantic)
There seems to be quite a lot of amnesia in the air.
Do people not read or watch the news? Or if they do pay attention, do they not recall what was reported?
Amnesia seems to be the rule, not the exception, among “joyful” Democrats celebrating the nomination of their anointed and appointed (but not elected) nominee.
A double blow for democracy.
Have no doubt whatsoever, a carefully calculated amnesia has been constructed by the DNC to convince voters that the Kackling Kamel will actually do something about illegal immigration and inflation, all the while not mentioning that the current administration, in which she snickered through her role, created these issues.
“I’ll fix the illegal immigrant problem [my administration created].” Yeah, right.
In this piece, a left-leaning magazine calls out the Kamel for pretending that the Biden-Harris administration was not responsible for the prolonged and torturous lockdown.
“During the pandemic, Kamala helped states and cities get their schools back open,” President Biden told the convention.
In fact, America’s public schools were kept closed in Democrat-run cities and states well into the Biden administration, as a direct result of Biden-administration policies. Democrats might count on Americans to be forgiving, but they are not stupid, and they would do well to not let the pageantry of televised politics obfuscate the fact that they are being lied to.
Does the Biden administration expect voters to not remember this? In our supposed exuberance over Kamala Harris, are we somehow supposed to invent a memory of her heroic effort to pry open schools? Although gaslighting is a term we should probably retire for overuse, it’s worth keeping in mind as we look at the 2020–21 school-reopening timeline we are being asked to magically revise in 2024, with an eye toward what, if anything, Harris had to do with it.
In fact, as the Democrat convention unfolded, it occurred to me I haven’t witnessed so many lies since the Warren Commission Report was published.
Mountain of lies at Democrat Chicago Convention
Clearly, Demo Party bigwigs have a low opinion of the intelligence of their diehard voters.
“Has RFK Just Started the NeverHarris Movement?” (The Spectator)
More likely, Bobby Kennedy is spearheading the NeverDemocrat Movement, having been iced out of their election process, thereby discovering firsthand the DNC’s anti-democratic policies.
Said Kennedy: “How did the Democratic party choose a candidate that has never done an interview or debate during the entire election cycle?”
Said The Spectator: “That’s a good question and one that many millions of Americans will be asking.”
Even jilted Joe must now be questioning the party that pulled the red carpet from under him.
“Robert Kennedy Jr’s Defection from the Democratic Party Completed as he Joins Donald Trump at Arizona Rally” (Daily Mail)
In honor of Bobby… I will establish a new independent commission on assassination attempts,' Trump – an assassination survivor himself – said.
The panel would also investigate Trump's July 13 shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania.
'And we will release all the documents pertaining to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.' I have never had more people ask me, please, sir, release the documents on the Kennedy assassination, and we're going to do that,' he said.
Amen.
It won’t be pretty, it never was. But maybe, just maybe, the truth will set us free.
From wherever they may have transcended, JFK and RFK are proud of Bobby Jr. And looking down on the New Democrats with nothing but disdain.
“Cowardly Hamas Terror Chief Stalls Cease-Fire Deal with ‘Don’t Kill Me’ Demand” (NY Post)
Yahya Sinwar’s safety will never be assured.
Just as the Israelis hunted down and killed every terrorist involved in the 1972 Olympics Massacre in Munich, where 11 Israeli athletes were murdered, they will eventually nail Yahya.
Yahya Sinwar even looks like death
This monster is a dead man walking. And he clearly knows it.
Lately, the soon-to-be late Sinwar is believed to be hiding “in plain sight” dressed as a female, which means covered in black veils.
Says Shalom Ben Hanan of Shin Bet, which is leading the hunt: “He will be killed.”
“‘Everyone is on Their Own’: In Battlefield Kursk Region, Civilians Feel Forgotten by Their Own Country” (The Moscow Times)
“How could they [Russia] have missed the buildup of such a large number of Ukrainian troops at the border?” Svetlana told The Moscow Times.
“How are the authorities solving people’s problems? They just lie, saying there’s no need to panic,” Anna, 28, told The Moscow Times.
“Among my acquaintances who have been affected in one way or another, everyone is shocked by the officials — they don’t f**king care about people.”
“Eyewitness Account of Ukraine’s Invasion that Putin Wants to Hide” (Daily Beast)
The sculpture of Lenin in the main square had been defaced, his name crossed out with “pidor,” an obscene curse word scribbled below it.
Good-bye Russia; Hello Ukraine
“The streets were full of broken glass and branches of blown-up trees. On the wall of one house was graffitied “Ukraine Above All.” The streets were almost completely quiet, except for the crack of artillery and drone fire in the distance.
Until August 6, this was Vladimir Putin’s Russia. Now it is Ukrainian-held territory.
Says it all.
“Ukraine Keeps Crossing Putin’s Red Lines. Putin Keeps Blinking.” (Washington Post)
Kyiv’s lightning incursion into Kursk in western Russia this month slashed through the reddest line of all — a direct ground assault on Russia — yet Putin’s response has so far been strikingly passive and muted, in sharp contrast to his rhetoric earlier in the war.
On day one of the invasion in February 2022, Putin warned that any country that stood in Russia’s way would face consequences “such as you have never seen in your entire history,” a threat that seemed directed at countries that might arm Ukraine.
Putin is beginning to sound like Muammar Gaddafy-Duck.
And may wind up looking like him too.

One thing is for sure, our politicians are counting on the electorate to believe lies. Truth is becoming as rare and threatened as the most vulnerable endangered species. Instead of valiantly trying to save and propagate the last surviving examples of truth, the Establishment is clearly determined to hunt it down, imprison it, or shoot it dead. At the risk of sounding repetitious, if you seek Truth, put your phone on the counter and pick up your Bible.
Thank you, Robert, always great to read your column and entertaining to see your accompanying artwork.
But I do have problems with your Putin Derangement Syndrome. I wish you would list your sources for what you contend about him and Ukraine. I listen to a number of people on it and don't get anything like what you say. Douglas MacGregor, for example, has an entirely different view of how Putin is doing. More importantly, I find your view of how we got into this Ukraine conflict omits Biden's financial interest in a war in Ukraine. It also omits that we are at least partly responsible for the huge death toll of Ukrainian military. And today with you likening Putin to Gaddafi, I am frankly sickened. We killed Gaddafi, not because he was a monster, but because Hillary and Co. were afraid he would get economic independence for his country. Your writing today reminds me of Hillary's gleeful “we came, we saw, he died - hahahaha” (a kackle Kamala would die for), possibly Hillary's most disgusting moment.
If you are going to indulge in your hatred of Putin, I think you owe it to your readers to offer more than hearsay and Neo Con party line. We have too much media doing that already, albeit for the Left. I expect more substance from SB Current. I would be interested in hearing how you think Russia would fare without him. I would like to know your view of our coup in Ukraine to establish Zelensky. Of our continued baiting of Putin over the years. Of our bio labs on the border. And how the money we've spent on this is justified.
Thanks again for being part of SB Current's lively scene. You and the other columnists are giving Santa Barbara a much needed intelligent alternative voice.
