Why no Durham review of the DNC hack attribution? Because that was outside the bounds of his appointment order from AG Barr. Durham explains in general terms how he stayed within the order.

Trump is a true man for the people.
Biden is all about himself as are the majority of today’s pols
Great stuff kabar,thanks very much!
Exactly! If that truth alone gets out he will never ever be defeated at the polls.It will take massive election fraud to defeat Trump which is our job to stop.
I am a fan of Jim Jordan but it takes certain skills to be a committee chair. He “allows” Debbie Washerwoman Schultz to run rings around him with her “points of order”, “inquiries” and general interference.
It reminds me when the Senate tried to investigate how Clinton sold out our long range missile guidance systems technology to the Chinese in the Loral scandals. https://centerforsecuritypolicy.org/clinton-legacy-watch-21-efforts-to-help-chinese-missile-program-reek-of-corruption-betrayal-of-u-s-interests-2/
The Dems got John Glenn on the committee and he did nothing but distract and kibitz. As a result the investigation died and Glenn got to take a ride on the space shuttle at the ripe old age of 77 as his reward.

Why no Durham review of the DNC hack attribution? Because that was outside the bounds of his appointment order from AG Barr. Durham explains in general terms how he stayed within the order.
Interestng map. In the South, almost all the losing counties are rural, black communities and farms. My little part of Alabama is green, almost surrounded by pink.
Actually, for my state, this is a good thing. The counties that make up the black belt have been majority black since the end of the Civil War when they were freed. We’re talking thousands of people on a single plantation and the few white overseers and owners left, but the ex-slaves stayed.
At first, agriculture and sharecropping supported them. But after Boll Weevil struck, thousands left. That made sense, as there just wasn’t any jobs outside of farming. It is rural, and without industry. It’s not because they’re black, but too many people and no jobs equals poverty. There are really only two choices here, manufacturing moves to these low population rural counties (and that makes NO economic sense) or the people move to where the jobs are.
This is an important part of American history that so many of today’s race baiters miss. They say the ex-slaves were offered 40 acres and a mule, but that was denied, so we owe reparations. Not so, basically, everyone got the 40 acres. It was only the devastation of the cotton cash crop in 1900 and agricultural mechanization over the next several decades that made their 40 acres unsustainable.
Like any overpopulated rural area, the carrying capacity of economic activity just doesn’t support all those people. You have to move to survive or the rest of us pays generations of assistance.

The government wouldn't lie, would it???
The yellow one hands down.
Thank you!
After I got better, I’ve been hitting the garden and outside chores with a vengeance.
So much that I messed up my back.
So now it hurts to sit. I was out there today putting up my bean towers.
I got a ton of brush and trees to take down or my acreage will become a jungle! I’ve kept kudzu out for 25 years but I’m now seeing it on the far side of my land.
I’ve got to take it easy, but there’s so much left to do!!!
Here are some of the main findings:
“The FBI discounted or willfully ignored material information that did not support the narrative of a collusive relationship between Trump and Russia.”
Crossfire Hurricane “was opened as a full investigation without [the FBI] ever having spoken to the persons who provided that information.” Days after it was opened, Peter Strzok was telling a London FBI employee that “there’s nothing to this.”
Internal FBI communications discussing the Crossfire Hurricane during its early stages: it’s “thin” and “it sucks”.
British Intelligence pushed back on Mueller requests for assistance: “[a British Intelligence person] basically said there was no [expletive] way in hell they were going to do it.”
Durham documents TWO investigations into Hillary Clinton - one involving the Clinton Foundation and one involving illegal foreign contributions to Clinton’s Campaign.
In one Clinton Campaign investigation, an FBI confidential human source (CHS) had offered an illegal foreign contribution to the campaign through an intermediary. The Clinton Campaign was “okay with it” and “were fully aware”. The CHS offered the FBI a copy of the credit card charge; the FBI never got receipts. In fact, the FBI handling agent told the CHS “to stay away from all events relating to Clinton’s campaign.”
In February 2016, FBI Assistant Director Andrew McCabe directed the Clinton Foundation investigation to be shut down. He walked that back after receiving push-back, but McCabe made sure that his approval was required for any further investigative steps.
The New York Field Office was called on behalf of FBI Director Comey and informed to “cease and desist” from the Clinton Foundation investigation.
The FBI and DOJ restricted both of those Clinton investigations, making sure that “essentially no investigative activities occurred for months leading up to the election.” In comparison, the FBI opened a full investigation into the Trump Campaign based on unvetted “intelligence”.
The CIA had direct knowledge of the Clinton plan (“Clinton Plan”) to vilify Trump by linking him to Putin and Russia. On August 3, 2016, CIA Director John Brennon met with President Obama, VP Biden, and other senior Administration officials, including but not limited to Attorney General Loretta Lynch and FBI Director James Comey. At that meeting, Brennan informed them of the Clinton Plan:
In September 2016, the CIA sent the FBI this information on the Clinton Plan to link Trump and Russia:
somehow, the FBI did nothing to vet or investigate the Clinton Plan - even though they were using parts of the Clinton Plan (the Steele Reports) - to investigate the Trump Campaign. Durham writes: “No FBI personnel who were interviewed by the Office recalled Crossfire Hurricane personnel taking any action to vet the Clinton Plan intelligence.”
In fact, it was as if the CIA’s Clinton Plan memo was somehow buried within the FBI. Most members of Crossfire Hurricane “had never seen the intelligence before”. And, as we have previously discussed, it was never disclosed to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court in contravention to that court’s local rules.
FBI Director James Comey was deeply interested in the Crossfire Hurricane investigation and micromanaged it, demanding the Carter Page FISA warrant, telling Assistant Director Andrew McCabe: “Where is the FISA, where is the FISA?”
The FBI knew, relatively early, that its Carter Page FISA warrants were dubious. That FBI knowledge only intensified by 2018, as FBI analysts discussed how “Steele’s subsources could have been compromised by the Russians.” They were going to prepare their findings in a memorandum. FBI Deputy Assistant Director for Counterintelligence, Dina Corsi, met with the review team and directed them not to document any recommendations, context, or analysis in the memorandum they were preparing.” An FBI attorney was at that meeting. “He confirmed that the team was told not to write any more memoranda or analytical pieces and to provide their findings orally.” Corsi’s demands, according to one FBI Attorney, were “the most inappropriate operational or professional statement he had ever heard at the FBI.”
Igor Danchenko, the Steele primary subsource charged with (and acquitted of) lying to the FBI, was paid $220K by the FBI as a confidential human source. This was paid after the FBI knew Danchenko lied to them. As the Durham Investigation proceeded, Durham learned “the FBI proposed making continued future payments to Danchenko, totaling more than $300,000, while [Durham] was actively investigating this matter.” The FBI, in effect, was seeking to influence a key witness who would later face criminal charges.
The FBI’s reasons for paying Danchenko were certainly curious. Interviews with Durham’s office revealed: “the FBI's Executive Assistant Director for National Security, made clear that they were not even able to accurately describe the value or contributions of Danchenko that would justify keeping him open, much less making hundreds of thousands of dollars in payments to him.”
Exactly.
He likes to portray himself as helping Republicans by going after Trump but we all know he’s helping the democrats.
These people have no sense of self-awareness about how others (millions of MAGA Republicans) view them.
He and others are digging deep holes and they don’t even realize it. I hope for cave-ins.
I agree with you. Jordan talks a good game, but he rarely delivers. Trey Gowdy and Nunes dropped the ball as well. Nunes lacked the courage to reveal publicly what he knew. Given the crimes involved, Nunes should have ignored the laws, rules, regulations, etc. to blow up Deep State and their Dem allies. You know the Dems would have done it if they were in the same position.
Sadly,we have to also include the devastation of our cities that has happened over the past 100 years.
There are lots of reasons. Increases in crime due to a variety of reasons, destruction of the nuclear family with too many female headed families with no males.
But, basically, the takeover of most big cities by the dirty dems was a huge problem.They had no problem destroying city after city in the process of inducing Cloward Piven,communism and the destruction of capitalism.
Add all that in and you have a good start on what happened to many cities.
Remember farming work is why they make teenagers.....
Technology has also had an impact as more people can work remotely. This impacts small businesses that used to be supported by office workers.
And then there are political factors as blue states and cities become more unlivable.
To all: Remember our goal here on this weekly thread... To prove their lies, innuendo and half truths are always part of their DNC protection racket!
Aside from Maria, has ANY Sunday show discussed the Durham report today?
ABC/CBS/CNN/MSNBC/NBC/PBS... and now featuring Fox News Sunday!
Heres James head of O keefe media group!
