Adam Schiff has collusion problems of his own
Adam Schiff has collusion problems of his own
The ski resort meeting between Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and the founder of Fusion GPS shows that the House Intelligence Committee chairman is the wrong person to trust with leading a serious, unbiased inquiry.
For more than two years, Schiff has led the fight to make the Russia-collusion narrative stick. But the jig may finally up.
The Russia story, of course, got its start during Hillary Clinton’s failed presidential campaign. Robby Mook, John Podesta, and the rest of the Clinton brain trust did everything they could to sell Americans on it, even paying a group of “consultants” working for Fusion GPS, including a former spy and the wife of a high-ranking DOJ official, to write a “dossier” on then-candidate Trump.
Clinton’s team failed to place the dossier, with its lurid and incredible claims, in the media before election 2016. But they did later offer its supposed evidence of collusion with Russia as their excuse for losing to Trump. It ultimately didn’t work, as the American people saw through it.
Schiff has kept up the pressure in Congress that’s led to endless investigative hearings and the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller. But he may have played a bigger role in all this than anyone realized. Last summer, as John Solomon noted recently, Schiff was spotted openly talking with Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson in Aspen, Colorado. This, of course, leads to many new questions about Schiff’s affiliation and involvement with Fusion GPS. Was this the first time he met with Glenn Simpson? What is his past history with one of the more significant characters in the Russia-collusion hoax?
Schiff is still working to hold up the increasingly waterlogged tent of the “collusion” story. He will have to manage public expectations in order to avoid embarrassment when Mueller finally reveals the lack of grounding for charges that the Trump campaign did any of the things Schiff has spent two years insinuating it did.
For example, just as we were never told exactly what “the Russians hacked the election” means, Schiff is now playing word games with “collusion.” In an interview this month, he claimed that just talking to the Russian government about building a Trump Tower in Moscow constituted “collusion.”
This malleable definition of collusion could come back to haunt him. Because “collusion” appears to be exactly what Schiff has been engaged in while desperately trying to keep the fake Russia-collusion narrative alive.

Nolte: From Trayvon to Jussie — Poll Shows Media Hoaxes Killed Race Relations
5:36
Gallup began polling opinions of race relations back in 2001. At that point, 70 percent of black Americans graded race relations as “very good” or “somewhat good,” while 62 percent of white people agreed.
Think about that… Eighteen years ago, black people were more satisfied with race relations than white people.
For another dozen years, outside of a bump here and a hiccup there, those numbers held. On average, more than 60 percent of black people and around 70 percent of white people gauged race relations as good.
In 2013, all was still good. More than two-thirds of blacks and whites were optimistic about race relations, and then it all collapsed. We went into a five-year dive we have still not recovered from. In the latest polling, only 55 percent of whites and 49 percent of blacks view race relations in a positive light.
So what happened in 2013?
What suddenly killed everything?
The answer, sadly, is an organized media hoax: the death of Trayvon Martin.
In February 2012, George Zimmerman, a Hispanic man, shot and killed Trayvon Martin in self-defense.
But if you recall, in February 2012, President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign was just starting to gear up, and after three years of failure, he needed a cause to turn out his base. And so the media came running to his aid and turned the Hispanic Zimmerman into a white man, turned an act of self-defense into a white man hunting down a black teenager, and went so far as to try and frame Zimmerman by fabricating evidence against him.
CNN and NBC News both manipulated Zimmerman’s 9-1-1 tape to twist him into a racist. ABC News practically airbrushed a photo of Zimmerman’s scalp to remove the wounds he received in his struggle with Martin.
Although exonerated in a court of law, Zimmerman was tried and convicted by the media using lies, fabricated evidence, and outright racism; and to their forever disgrace, President Obama and the Democrats milked this hoax for all it was worth.
You see, it was at this point when the media and Democrats went all-in on identity politics, and in the five years since, they have never looked back. The result has been an endless series of hate crime hoaxes that the media are either complicit in manufacturing or eagerly advancing. And nothing can stop them, not the damage to their own credibility, not even tragedy and death.
The summer of 2014 was the summer of the Michael Brown hoax — the “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” hoax, which ended with the burning of large parts of the predominantly black, working class city of Ferguson, Missouri, and countless attacks on police officers, including assassinations.
After Donald Trump won the presidency, the media’s hate crime hoax machine went into overdrive, starting with Charleston, Virginia, where the media falsely accused the president of saying there are good Nazis (He did not.) and falsely claimed he did not condemn the white supremacists who gathered there. (He did, more than once.)
On top of that lie, there were…
- The anti-Muslim hoax at the University of Michigan.
- The bisexual hate mail hoax at North Park University.
- The black woman accosted by Trump supporters hoax at a Philadelphia gas station.
- The Muslim who had her hijab ripped off her head by a MAGA-hat wearing racist hoax in Louisiana.
- The guy who spray-painted “Heil Trump” on his own church hoax in Indiana.
- The Muslim woman attacked by Trump supporters hoax in New York.
- The Whole Foods wrote “fag” on my cake hoax in Texas.
- The white guy paints “nigger lover” on his own garage and sets his own cars on fire hoax in Texas.
- The Muslim woman who slashed her own face hoax in New York.
- The Muslim student writes hate graffiti on his own door hoax at Beloit College.
- The black student who wrote racist notes hoax at St. Olaf College.
- The guy in the Air Force who wrote “Go home nigger” to himself hoax in Colorado.
- The man who wrote racist slurs on his own car hoax in Kansas City.
- The non-white guy who wrote racist slurs in a bathroom hoax in Missouri.
- The waiter who wrote a racist note to himself hoax in Texas.
- The waitress who wrote a racist note to herself hoax in Texas.
- The woman who slashed her own tires and wrote a note to herself hoax in Long Island.
- The student who wrote racist notes to herself hoax at Drake University.
- The black church burned in the name of Trump by a black parishioner hoax in Mississippi.
- The Great Chipotle Race Hoax of 2018.
Almost all of these hoaxes received a massive amount of local and national media attention, and almost all of them were exploited by the media, Democrats, and left-wing activists to divide our country and advance the cause of identity politics.
Already in 2019, a year that is not even two months old, the media have perpetrated two massive hate crime hoaxes.

Venezuela aid: Genuine help or Trojan horse?

In the humble neighbourhood of El Valle, in south-western Caracas, several hundred residents are gathered round in a community square, waiting for a meeting to start.
One of the organisers picks up the microphone and starts addressing the crowd.
"Why are you all here?" he asks them. "For Venezuela," they readily reply in unison before starting to sing the national anthem.
"Glory to the brave nation, which shook off the yoke," they all chant. "Off with the chains! Off with the chains!"
The anthem may reference Venezuela's colonial history, but the wording is particularly fitting for today's politics too.
Venezuelans are joining in the modern-day fight to shake off President Nicolás Maduro's administration, a government that many blame for strangling the economy and people's lives.
This meeting - and many similar events across the country - is being held ahead of a deadline set by opposition leader Juan Guaidó for humanitarian aid to be brought into the country from abroad.
Mr Guaidó, head of the National Assembly and self-declared interim president, and his supporters are trying to gather a million volunteers.

KTLA Anchor Chris Burrous Died from Overdose on Crystal Meth During Wild Tryst
KTLA anchor Chris Burrous died from an overdose of crystal meth while engaging in vigorous sexual activity with a man he met on Grindr.
According to the L.A. County Medical Examiner, Burrous died from methamphetamine toxicity after being found unresponsive in a Glendale motel on December 28. The manner of death is listed as accidental.
According to the death investigation, officials say Burrous worked his shift at KTLA, and then left early for the day complaining he felt ill.
Instead of going home, he set up a meeting with a man at a motel in Glendale for an afternoon of hardcore sex. The two allegedly met on Grindr and had hooked up multiple times in the past.
When the companion arrived, Burrous allegedly answered the door fully nude, and had set up the room with “DJ style” lighting, S&M toys, lubrication jelly and a massage bench. The two men allegedly engaged in various forms of sexual activities.
At some point during the meeting, 43-year-old Burrous allegedly inserted a “rock” of crystal meth into his body.
He then allegedly gave his companion a syringe full of GHB and a bottle of Gatorade. The two became intimate again, and Burrous allegedly used another “rock” of meth before engaging in more sexual activity.
The report states Burrous also used “poppers,” an alkyl nitrite inhaled that produces a euphoric effect.
Burrous allegedly told his companion he was feeling fine until the man noticed him making a strange noise, and flipped him over to realize Burrous had vomited inside his S&M mask.
The man called 911 and began to perform CPR on Burrous until emergency responders arrived. He was transported to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead in the emergency room.
During the death investigations, officials were told Burrous, who leaves behind a wife and young daughter, did not have a history of drug or alcohol abuse, and apparently only used drugs recreationally.
Burrous’ companion was cooperative throughout the investigation and no foul play is suspected in his death.

California sheriff releases graphic video of deadly police shooting. Deported three times! Bravo open borders people.
Police release video of fatal officer-involved shooting in California
Napa County Sheriff's office releases body cam footage of a fatal deputy-involved shooting.
A man pulled over for a traffic stop, rolled his window down, drew a handgun and opened fire on cops before being fatally shot by a deputy, graphic video released Wednesday by a sheriff's department in Northern California shows.
The Napa County Sheriff's Office said in a Facebook post the incident happened around 11 p.m. on Sunday along a rural road near Napa.
"It's graphic, it's brutal, it's sudden," Napa County Undersheriff Jon Crawford said at a news conference.
Napa County Sheriff's Deputy Riley Jarecki was on patrol when she came across 43-year-old Javier Hernandez Morales sitting in the parked car she deemed suspiciously parked. Jarecki then proceeded to walk over to the other side of the vehicle and ask Morales to roll down the window.

In the video, Morales compiles but then appears to fire at least one shot at Jarecki and misses. Jarecki radios for help, retreats to the car's passenger side and returns fire, unloading her weapon and killing Morales in a hail of bullets.
Officials said in addition to the handgun he fired at the officer, Morales had a loaded .22-caliber rifle in the car.
"We are extremely proud of her, she did a great job, her dad's very proud of her," Napa County Sheriff John Robertson told KTVU.

Jarecki was sworn in as a Napa County Deputy just six months ago, and her father is a sergeant with the department. Her grandfather also served with the Napa Police Department.
"When you're in that situation, when you're in a gun battle, you want to win,' the sheriff told KTVU. "And she did beautifully, she did what she was trained to do."
Morales has a criminal history that includes arrests for DUI, assault on an officer and weapons violations, according to police.
