Several items of interest for everyone from this morning…
News you won’t see reported on CNN, Part I – In fact, the little 3 paragraph story at this link is the only one that shows up on a Google search. The news is that on Monday, the U.S. reported its lowest Wuhan Virus death toll in over a month, coming in at 1,015. Major media outlets, after having spent the last 3 days trumpeting an absurd study predicting the toll would rise to 3,000 per day by June, have basically put an embargo on this positive development, as well as the downward trend in deaths we have seen nationally over the last two weeks.
News you won’t see reported on CNN, Part II – Biden’s previous 8-point lead over President Trump from two weeks ago in the Reuters Ipsos poll has now evaporated. Turns out that people are figuring out that the President is far more suited to deal with the economy and the ongoing national disaster than some guy holed up in his basement who doesn’t know where he is half the time. Go figure.
News you won’t see reported on CNN, Part II – A new poll from the extreme leftwing group Daily Kos shows that Biden’s public approval rating is massively under water, with just 34% approving and 56% disapproving. By contrast, Trump’s numbers come in at 43/55. Yet, to show just how fake public opinion polling truly is, this very same poll asks you to suspend all disbelief and think that Biden actually leads Trump nationally by a margin of 47 to 44. CNN might report that last part. Maybe.
Finally, here is the biggest bit of news that happened this morning. – DNI Ric Grenell sent a letter over to Adam Schiff this morning informing him that Schiff will either release the 53 transcripts from the House Intelligence Committee’s shame investigation into possible Trump-Russia collusion, or Grenell will do it for him.
From a report at the Daily Caller:
In the letter, Grenell urged Schiff to publish the documents, but said that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) is prepared to release them if the California Democrat refuses to do so.
“I urge you to honor your previous public statements, and your committee’s unanimous vote on this matter, to release all 53 cleared transcripts to Members of Congress and the American public as soon as possible,” Grenell said in the letter, first reported by The Washington Examiner.
“I am also willing to release the transcripts directly from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, as to ensure we comply with the unanimous and bipartisan vote to release the transcripts.”
…
Republicans on the House Judiciary and House Oversight Committees sent a letter to Schiff on Tuesday saying that he has been “blocking” the release of the transcripts.
It is unclear why Schiff has withheld the documents from public view. His office did not return a request for comment on Tuesday.
“All of the transcripts, with our required redactions, can be released to the public without any concerns of disclosing classified material,” Grenell wrote to Schiff.
[End]
I told you yesterday that the Deep State is very anxious to get rid of Grenell from the DNI job, which is the only reason why the Senate Intel Committee is likely going to approve his nomination. Today’s letter shows us one big reason why that’s the case.
That is all.
Chortle.
A lot of good info. Thanks
GO RIC GRENELL!! RELEASE THE HOUNDS!!
From your link.....
The opinion poll conducted on Monday(5/4) and Tuesday(5/5) found that 43% of registered voters said they would support Biden in the Nov. 3 presidential election, while 41% said they would back Trump. That makes the contest essentially a toss-up, as the results are within the poll’s credibility interval.
Biden led by 6 percentage points in a similar poll last week and by 8 points in a poll that ran April 15 to 21.
According to the poll, 45% of Americans said Trump was better suited to create jobs, while 32% said Biden was the better candidate for that. That pushed Trump’s advantage over Biden in terms of job creation to 13 points, compared with the Republican president’s 6-point edge in a similar poll that ran in mid-April.
Thirty-seven percent said Trump was better leading the country’s coronavirus response, while 35% preferred Biden. A similar poll in mid-April showed Biden had a slight edge over Trump when it came to the nation’s response to the disease.
Once Ratcliff is approved by the Senate as DNI, President Trump should fire Christopher Wray and appoint Grenell as interim director of the FBI.
This is ALL TRUMP. the Senate does NOT want to confirm John Radcliffe to DNI. Ric Grenell is forcing them to do it with his nightmare antics.
isnt Grenell a homo?
Schiff won’t release the documents, that’s a fact. It does not behoove him to do so.
So, Grennel should release them himself. After all, he’s ‘just’ acting DNI, soon to be replaced by a new DNI. So, Grennel’s last official act should be to put them out there, regardless of how Schiff feels about the matter.
But, Schiff might be just waiting for the new DNI to take office and let the new guy do it. Then, Schiff can claim the release as a political hit job, since it would be Trump’s nominee who assisted in defending Trump in the congressional investigations.
Just Do It
Once Ratcliff is approved by the Senate as DNI, President Trump should fire Christopher Wray and appoint Grenell as interim director of the FBI.
I’m not so sure that would work as I might just drop dead from laughing so hard.
I think that's a bit of an improvement from previous weeks.
Why, are you looking for a date or something?
Ya looking for a date ;-)?
I hadn’t heard that but it appears to be the case. I really don’t think it is germane to the crisis at hand, my FRiend.

No. I only heard about it when you tried on your dress..
Grenell may be prodding Schiff due to stories of Schiff causing gay males to be murdered during posited drug fueled orgies and their bodies dissolved by muriatic acid. Grenell a gay man might just be a little pissed at Schiff for what are explosive stories barely being contained by the media about Schiff.
Don’t know if it is a typo or intentional, but I LOVE that— re releasing the documents from Schiff’s committee’s work— you referred to it as “the shame investigation”!!
No. I heard about it when your dad tried on his dress at the store.
