Beware of the Real Russian Threat

One of the memorable anecdotes of Hollywood concerns the film noir The Big Sleep, starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, because of its complex story. It is a puzzling story, almost incoherent, with its convoluted plot and many double-crossing characters who come and go. Neither the original writer, Raymond Chandler, nor William Faulkner, one of the screenwriters, could fully explain what and why some incidents occurred. The director, Howard Hawks, was particularly concerned with one plot point and telegraphed Chandler with the question "Who killed chauffeur?" Chandler replied, "How the hell do I know?"

The same could be asked about the ongoing "Russian collusion" investigation. It is sad to perceive that the behavior of some of the characters, if not as charismatic as Bogart, in the never-ending fantasy of the complex plot of collusion between the presidential campaign of Donald Trump and various Russians, is out-convoluting The Big Sleep. One of the characters in the drama is the indefatigable Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, who asserts there is an "abundance of non-classified information that is evidence on the issue of collusion, and some ... on the issue of obstruction." Schiff also points to evidence in the public domain: one meeting in June 2016 between Trump campaign members and a Russian lawyer.

Here comes the congressional facsimile of The Big Sleep to delight Raymond Chandler. Despite his "evidence," Schiff admits, "I've never said there was proof beyond a reasonable doubt." Moreover, he explained he could not go into "specifics" until they are declassified. There are a lot of reasons, he said, why the names of U.S. persons and organizations are not used.

OK, I get it, it was Shiff who killed the chauffeur?

They tried everything to deny Trump the Presidency after he was elected. Recounts, attempts to persuade electors to “follow their conscience”, Russian collusion, the “resistance” in all its forms. Face it . The country is not just divided politically but culturally and racially. There no longer exists a reasonable, common social consensus. Doubt that the majority of whites and non whites will ever be comfortable with each other. Bad times ahead.

I don’t think your pessimism is accurate - whites and non-whites get along just fine when they share a common culture. The problem is that we have had the left busy separating people into controllable groups and then making it seem as if there is no common interest and each group by definition must hate the other.

I remember when Spanish-speaking parents in California protested - despite the wishes of the teachers’ union and the Dems - because their children were not being taught English but were being immediately put into “bilingual” classes taught entirely in Spanish (mostly by unqualified people whose Spanish wasn’t even good Spanish).

The schools eventually, under Bush, did modify that policy, and test scores for the Hispanic students soared.

So once we make it clear that we all live here in this beautiful country together, all share the same history or the effects of that history, and that we are all capable of learning, making a living, having a family, and doing something with our lives...there won’t be any hostility because people will have ceased to be left wing-designated “communities” and will just be Americans.

I think that’s what Trump wants and I think he has a positive vision, and that’s the thing that will save this country.

Adam Schiff and Nancy pelosi are far more dangerous American enemies than any Russian

Let’s face it,the leftists have succeeded in Balkanizing the country,fighting in the streets is the natural progression.

After 18 months, finally some real Russians got nailed.

The good news is that the Muller indictments are firm in saying that Americans contacted by the 13 charged Russians, including Trump campaign associates, did not know they were dealing with Russians b/c the Ruskis were pretending to be Americans.

Mueller unwittingly offers Trump huge victories— and more defeats for Hillary.

The indictments don’t close the books on everything because Muller is not about truth, justice and the American way. He just loves cashing those huge US govt checks and will do anything to keep the tax dollars flowing into his pocket.

=================================

PONDER THIS So how did the Ruskis get into America? Musta been some fancy visa skullduggery.
Yup, Obama is in the immigration loop......and its biting back bigtime.

95% put blacks voted for Obama, twice, and Hillary once.

That’s a group that is against me and mine, so I reciprocate.
