Fear and Trembling in the Deep State
American Thinker ^ | 25 Aug, 2024 | Clarice Feldman

Posted on 08/25/2024 4:37:08 AM PDT by MtnClimber

On Friday, we faced yet another black swan event. We’ve had an attempted Trump assassination, the surprise coup against President Biden, and now Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s, defection and joining up with Donald Trump. Before getting into this and a discussion of the DNC convention in Chicago, I want to expose the partisan perfidy of NPR’s Judy Woodruff and the ease with which she and the press are manipulated by the deep state.

Press Patsies

During the convention, Judy Woodruff reported (using the most authoritative voice and concerned visage she could muster) that Donald Trump had a telephone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during which he told him to reject the Biden ceasefire deal because accepting it would help Biden’s reelection. Both Netanyahu and Trump denied the claim upon which Trump was instantly being charged by the usual shills with a violation of the Logan Act. When pressed to substantiate her charge, Woodruff “clarified” her remarks and said she’d relied on accounts in Axios and Reuters and had done no independent verification. In fact, neither publication reported what she had said was the content of the conversation. More damaging to the credibility of her “clarification,” days before her assertion both accounts had reported the men denied having any phone conversation regarding the proposal. (I think it likely they got the same tip Woodruff did, but they fact checked it, discounted there had been any conversation, and then the tipster juiced it up some more and whispered it to Woodruff for a second shot at it.) Did she misread the articles? I think it obvious she repeated something someone in the administration told her, someone whose identity she dares not reveal for fear of losing valuable access. The claim was seen by many.

Did he ever say what the new black swan event on Friday was?

I only made it through about 20 paragraphs of the article. In Townhall articles, the lede usually makes its first appearance around paragraph 30 or so.

It was in the first sentence:

and now Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s, defection and joining up with Donald Trump.

How can Gutfeld arrange for Tyrus to piss on Walz’s pant leg while standing side-by-side at a pair of airport urinals?

Judy Woodruff

I had no idea she was still alive. (Maybe she never was.)

Looked for a recent photo.

Could be Sharon Osborne.

I thought okay, Marlo Thomas too but no, that would be Charo. I didn't know she was still alive either.

The stuff I miss..

We don’t need to hear fear and trembing from the deep state! What we do need to hear are the sounds created by those deep state traitors rattling their tin cups against the bars.

I know he was an eyesore, but what was his schtick?

The Trump deal-——he gave RFK the status he needed to
take revenge on the Dems who treated Bobby so harshly
......
and in return Trump got indy votes and a willing partner to attack his opponents.

He was on the Capital Gang and Evans, Novak, Hunt, & Shields way back when CNN used to have shows worth watching. Also was on the McLaughlin Group on PBS from time to time.
