Once upon a time, there was a rock-ribbed conservative U.S. senator who tried mightily to get an über-conservative law passed but was met with great resistance by his liberal colleagues. This went on not for months, but for almost two years.
But he was so persistent and determined that those same resistant colleagues — and their lapdogs in the left-wing media — started to call him “bulldog” — even, at times, Senator Bulldog!
Then, one beautiful spring day, he was both astounded and delighted to learn that he had enough votes to pass his proposed law. The vote was to be taken shortly after the Senate came back from lunch.
As the senator walked along Constitution Avenue to his favorite lunch spot, The Capitol Hill Club, enjoying the gorgeous sight of the wisteria and magnolias and cherry blossoms in bloom, he felt ebullient and redeemed and also proud that his persistence, and the righteousness of his cause, would finally see the light.
There he was, Central Casting, walking tall in his blue suit, white shirt (with cuff links!), red tie… the perfect symbolic colors, he thought, for this milestone day in his life.
Hello, Senator!
As he strode along, another Central Casting figure came up to his side — tall, handsome, also dressed to the nines.
“Hello, Senator. How are you today?”
The senator, long in public service, was accustomed to people he had never met greeting him, saying hello, wishing him well, or advising him on political matters. And, of course, insulting him.
“Very well. It’s a beautiful day.”
“Well, Senator,” said the stranger, “I know when you get back to the Senate, you’re going to vote ‘no’ on that proposed legislation.”
At this presumptuous, ridiculous, insulting, and bizarre remark — at the very idea that he would vote

But it makes you wonder, doesn’t it, if all the lofty verbiage our politicians express about their intentions to better our lives is simply a glib cover-up for the criminality they routinely engage in.No reasonably intelligent person wonders about this at all. They accept it as an unfortunate fact.

How Far Will the Deep State Go?.If you believe people have removed, i.e., reached room temperature, by the deep state and their CIA or other hitmen - then you know how far the deep state will go.

Excellent article and long overdue. We elect representatives who are almost immediately compromised upon arrival in the Capitol. One wonders how that could happen over and over, predictably. In fact, it happens routinely. It has become the norm. Only this kind of criminal pressure explains it.

Pretty much sums it up, except she left out
John P. Wheeler, patriot, member of the West Point "long gray line" who was instrumental in creating the Vietnam Wall in DC. In 2010, when Wheeler was working as a high-security clearance cybersecurity consultant for a Feferal contractor and living in Delaware, his body was dumped in a landfill on New Year's Day in the early AM, and no one has ever found out what he knew, who did it, or why the investigation was quickly shut down. Beau Biden was the AG of Delaware at the time. Joe Biden was Vice President.

The Clinton Body Count List
Used to be, I didn't give much credence to the conspiracy theories around the Clintons. They've been in the public spotlight for 50 years and no doubt personally knew 1000+ people. It makes sense many of them died from natural causes. And given the high pressure competitive cutthroat nature of politics it's plausible quite a few died prematurely. From medical conditions aggravated by the nature of this racket, substance abuse, accidents, in rare cases suicide and in extremely rare cases foul play.
What made me skeptical of it all was the untimely (?) demise of John Ashe. A barbell fell on his head?!!?? That one sounded like a Culombo episode, or an old 3 Stooges routine. But this is no laughing matter!

The catch is they didn’t die of natural causes.
