Destroying evidence. Nice. nothing to see move along.
The group claims they found that 74 Georgia counties failed to produce the images and that 56 counties confirmed that “most or all of the images” had been destroyed.
I'm old enough to remember when D'Souza was a serious person. That really dates me.
I remember when the dazzler said he voted for Reagan. That really dates me.
Probably sounded clever in your head.
Should have run it past your nurse.
Wasn't me that lied about being a conservative once upon a time and then having zero conservative positions. It definitely sounded clever in you head when you claimed to be a conservative and voted for Reagan. You know what else sounded real clever? Hands Up Don't Shoot and barry was the more fiscally responsible alternative. Voting for a dementia patient that is bought and paid for by the chicoms seems similarly clever.
Strong military
Law and order/Rule of Law
Paying for government spending rather than putting it on the credit card
Which of those isn't a conservative value, Betty?
Well, these are conservative issues, but they aren't voting issues for you. Biden doesn't want a strong military, he wants a woke military whose main mission is fighting climate change. Yeah, your voting for catch and release and no charges for antifa/BLM rioters just reeks of law and order. I supported Giuliani in New York. You hated him and the saving of thousands of black lives wasn't important. Yeah, the dems are clearly the more fiscally responsible alternative. I'd cut out the wasteful spending, like the federal department of education. You suck at this.
Republicans have been better on two out of three of those issues and equally shitty on the 3rd. But I recall when a Conservative group came along and tried to make deficit spending a bigger issue, the Dazzler shit all over them and supported the people who wanted to engage in trillions of dollars of additional deficit spending. For the Dazzler now to claim he doesn't support putting things on the credit card, after voting for Biden is just the usual hypocrisy we're used to seeing from him.
So while those may be the issues the Dazzler hides behind in order to claim he is a conservative, he doesn't vote for candidates who support any of them.
The Dems wouldn’t raise your taxes to pay for shit? Surprising.
Biden is massively deficit spending right now Dazzler, of course you don't care, you voted for it.
I was voting to raise your taxes.
And your taxes dazzler because you are a moral coward and such a strong conservative that we need open borders and make the US the world's welfare magnet.
I pay way too much. I’m a job creator kind of rich. Mine must go down.
So, once again lying. You claimed you were undertaxed and not paying your fair share, then I beat the hell out of you for not making the moral decision to pay your fair share. Must have gotten embarrassing so now the pivot that you are overtaxed. Geezus what a lying POS>
No point in responding to you seriously, Gasbag. I’m sure most people who know you have learned that. Just amusing myself.
Quite the beating. I’m lucky to be drawing breath.
Like I said, pathological. Leftardism is clearly a mental disease.
At least I’m rich. Small consolation.
I have more money than you and I work at Orkin. Doofus.

This One Photo Explains Everything You Need To Know About the Democratic Party Élites unmasked
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) was photographed officiating Ivy Getty's lavish wedding in San Francisco last week. The photo explains everything you need to know about the Democratic Party. Nearly every important aspect of the party and its voter base is represented.
For example:
1) Millionaires and billionaires
Getty, the great-granddaughter of oil baron J. Paul Getty, is presumed to have inherited several billion dollars after her father, John Gilbert Getty, died in 2020. Her grandfather, Gordon Getty, has helped finance the careers of prominent California Democrats such as Willie Brown, Gavin Newsom, and Pelosi. Billionaires and their wealthy scions tend to be loyal backers of the Democratic Party, whose most generous supporters include George Soros, Walmart heiress Christy Walton, Apple heiress Laurene Powell Jobs, and the Pritzker family, heirs to the Hyatt hotel fortune. J.B. Pritzker was elected governor of Illinois in 2018, and the 2020 Democratic primary featured two billionaires, Tom Steyer and Michael Bloomberg.
2) Really old career politicians
The top three Democrats in the House of Representatives are octogenarians who have worked in politics almost their entire adult lives. Pelosi, 81, is a Democratic Party scion whose political career began in the early 1960s. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D., Md.) is 82 and has worked in politics since 1962. House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D., S.C.) is 81 and got his start in 1969. President Joe Biden, who will celebrate his 79th birthday later this month, is relatively young and inexperienced by comparison. He didn't launch his political career until 1970.
3) White guys
The Democratic Party is dominated by college graduates, a demographic that comprises roughly a third of the adult population, and is disproportionately white. Getty's random white dude husband wouldn't have to try very hard to find success in the Democratic Party or its affiliate, the media industry, where mediocre white dudes continue to excel. In most cases, they do so while simultaneously denouncing the toxic influence of white men. Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, Brian Stelter, Jeffrey Toobin, Andrew Cuomo, the Pod Save America bros, the bald weirdos at the Lincoln Project—the list goes on.
4) Celebrities
Mark Ronson opened for Earth, Wind & Fire, which played at the pre-wedding bash at The Palace of Fine Arts. Hollywood actress Anya-Taylor Joy, daughter of an investment banking tycoon, served as the maid of honor. Guests included pop star Olivia Rodrigo, assorted European royalty, and TikTok celebs, along with gender-bending performance artist Kiki Xtravaganza. As former president Barack Obama has gone out of his way to demonstrate, the ability to hang out with celebrities is one of the main reasons Democratic politicians run for higher office.
5) Anti-Semites
The bride's dress was covered in shards of broken glass, which may or may not have been an homage to the anniversary of Kristallnacht. The bridal gown and the bridesmaid dresses were designed by British fashion icon John Galliano, who also attended the wedding as a guest. In 2011, he was convicted in a Paris court for making anti-Semitic remarks, which is illegal under French law. "I love Hitler," Galliano reportedly told a group of Italian women at a café during Paris Fashion Week. "People like you would be dead today. Your mothers, your forefathers would all be f—ing gassed and f—ing dead." In recent years, the Democratic Party has become a space for anti-Semites.
6) Selectively enforced rules
The wedding took place at San Francisco's City Hall, which remains closed to the public due to COVID-19. Guests were asked to wear masks during the ceremony, but photos from the multi-day affair reveal that the California Department of Public Health's recommendation regarding the use of masks indoors was largely ignored. Democratic politicians have routinely ignored such guidance, in some cases blatantly violating state and local mandates that might impede their ability to party with rich donors and celebrities.
There. That's everything you need to know about the Democratic Party.
Good analogy! Can you believe 'Ol Rotten Crotch said this? I can.
Dianne Feinstein: "All vets are mentally ill in some way and government should prevent them from owning firearms." Yep, - she really said it on Thursday in a meeting in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee. And the quote below from the LA Times is priceless. Sometimes even the LA.Times gets it right.
Kurt Nimmo: "Senator Feinstein insults all U.S. Veterans as she flails about in a vain attempt to save her anti-firearms bill."
Quote of the Day from the Los Angeles Times:
"Frankly, I don't know what it is about California, but we seem to have a strange urge to elect really obnoxious women to high office. I'm not bragging, you understand, but no other state, including Maine, even comes close. When it comes to sending left-wing dingbats to Washington, we're Number One. There's no getting around the fact that the last time anyone saw the likes of Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, Maxine Waters, Kamala Harris, and Nancy Pelosi, they were stirring a cauldron when the curtain went up on 'Macbeth'. The five of them are like jackasses who happen to possess the gift of blab. You don't know if you should condemn them for their stupidity or simply marvel at their ability to form words."
Woke as phuck Disney moving 2000 employees from Cali to that covid death trap known as Florida. Apparently making lots of money is somehow important to woke ass virtue signalers.
YET ANOTHER BIPARTISAN ENDORSEMENT FOR RON DESANTIS: Disney employees start the process of moving from California to Florida. The theme park giant announced it was picking up and moving 2,000 employees across the country in July.
Well, Scott Atlas has a book coming. And to no surprise it is shows the CDC and NIH are political institutions intent on punishing working America for power. Atlas ended up having his tweets banned by Twitter because leftards don't do science, they do fear and social control. In the early spring of 2020 the Pump conservatives have a much better track record than Fauci. And still, yesterday at Costco there was a fat as phuck short haired god ugly woman wearing a black St. Fauci shirt. The stupidity and desperate need to belong to a cult to give this thing some sense of belonging perhaps is understandable and I'd be happy to leave it alone, but leftards don't want to leave me alone. A prison guard at an anti-vaxx prison camp would be it's dream job.
PS Wealthy democrats love to send their kids to private schools which were open while public schools run by the teacher unions were closed. You would think an independent educated MSM would have beaten Newsom over the head with that fact until he pled for forgiveness. But nope.
Atlas Accuses Fauci and Birx of Ignoring COVID Data on Schools
n his forthcoming book, former White House Coronavirus Response team member Dr. Scott Atlas blasts Dr. Anthony Fauci, Dr. Deborah Birx, and former CDC Director Robert Redfield, claiming they dismissed scientific data that showed schools could be reopened safely during the pandemic and that children are not superspreaders of the virus.
Fox News Digital obtained an advance copy of Atlas’s new book, A Plague Upon Our House, which, according to the book’s description, reveals “What really happened behind the scenes at the Trump White House during the COVID pandemic.”
And, according to Atlas, when he presented the data on schools to the White House Coronavirus Response team, he was ignored.
“As I finished, there was silence,” Atlas wrote. “No one offered any contrary data. No one spoke of scientific studies. No one even mentioned the discredited Korea study. Zero comments from Dr. Birx. Nothing from Dr. Fauci. And as always, not a single mention by Birx or Fauci about the serious harms of school closures. In my mind, this was bizarre. Why was I the only one in the room with detailed knowledge of the literature? Why was I the only one considering the data on such an important topic with a critical eye? Were the others simply accepting bottom lines and conclusions, without any analytical evaluation? Weren’t they supposed to be expert medical scientists, too? I waited.”
Birx then told Atlas that his opinion was “out of the mainstream” and accused him of being part of a “fringe” group that wanted schools to be reopened.
“[Birx] insisted that all experts agreed with her,” Atlas wrote. “I shook my head, thinking of some of the world-class epidemiologists who agreed with me—John Ioannidis and Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford, Martin Kulldorff of Harvard, Carl Heneghan and Sunetra Gupta of Oxford—and wondered if she or Fauci had ever read a single publication by them.”
Atlas points out in his book that evidence indicated that “almost all coronavirus transmission to children comes from adults, not the other way around.”
“That was not a predicate for opening schools, given the massive harms to kids if they were closed,” Atlas explained. “But that evidence was already shown by contact tracing and other studies in Iceland, Canada, France, the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Ireland, Japan, Switzerland, and elsewhere. Opened schools and childcare centers did not show significant dangers to children, adults, or teachers […] They found zero instances of a child passing the infection to an adult.”
Atlas said CDC director Redfield responded to the data by saying, “the jury is still out.”
However, by the summer of 2020, Redfield was advocating for schools to reopen.
Your feel good tweet of the week. Imagine being a virtue signaling PMS housewife, who while very well off can't afford a gated community then finds out that she voted herself into a hell hole. At least she didn't vote for Trump. Geezus.
'A World Gone Mad': Upscale LA Neighborhood Wrestles With Worsening Homeless Crisis
BY TYLER DURDEN MONDAY, NOV 15, 2021 - 08:00 AM Authored by Jamie Joseph via The Epoch Times,
Abbott Kinney Boulevard is a picture-perfect hidden gem in the Venice neighborhood of Los Angeles, known for its boutique shops and locally-owned dining joints. The mile-long strip sings to the tune of upper-middle-class patrons who come to Venice Beach to soak in its peculiar rhythm. The neighborhood’s tight-knit community of homeowners who have lived in the area for decades are proud to reside in this unique nook of town.

But over the last year, the community within this stretch of Venice grew even closer over a common frustration: the growing homeless encampments.
The issue is not new to Los Angeles as a whole, which has more than 41,000 people living on its streets, according to the latest homeless count, with more than 66,000 homeless people countywide. A forecast by the Economic Roundtable estimates that number could reach nearly 90,000 by the year 2023.
Venice has approximately 2,000 people living unhoused, making it the second largest congregant of homeless people in the city after Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles.
Drugs, needles, trash, violence, fires, and encampments have become all too common to the Venice community. They say their pleas for help often fall on deaf ears when it comes to their city leaders, while tourists, homeowners, workers, and other homeless people have become victims to random assaults by a more violent crowd of transients.
“It’s a world gone mad,” Venice resident Deborah Keaton told The Epoch Times. “It’s our own making too. I’m a liberal, a Democrat, and we voted for these measures that decriminalize a lot of this behavior, and so there’s no repercussions for these guys.”
When Keaton steps outside her home on North Venice Blvd. between Abbott Kinney and Electric Ave., her reality is not the white-picket fence experience she bought into 30 years ago when she purchased her home. An encampment, including a handful of parked RVs, has popped up adjacent to her house, making hers the closest house to the neighborhood’s new hot spot for crime and drug dealing.
The transients living inside the RVs play loud music all day and night, she said. She filed a police report against the apparent ringleader of the RV encampment, Brandon Washington, because she says he approached her gate and allegedly made threats against her family.
“He rang the bell, and he was wasted, and he said to me: ‘I just need to know all the evil people, is your husband evil? Because I need to kill your husband,’” Keaton said. “It was scary.”
She captured the entire interaction on her Ring doorbell camera.
“There’s no repercussions for these guys, and they can’t be held and they know it. A lot of these guys have been arrested 400 times,” she said.
Neighbors allege Washington—who often appears to be on drugs—has prostituted women in the RVs, in addition to dealing methamphetamine to other homeless people. Keaton said in the summer a woman was hiding in her backyard, because she said Washington was “pimping her out.”
These stories have become all too common in Venice.
Ansar El Muhammad, who goes by “Brother Stan” in Venice, knows the plight of Washington all too well. About 20 years ago, Washington was in Muhammad’s niece’s wedding. Both were born and raised in Venice and ran in the same circles.
“Even though everybody is up in arms about this, these are human beings,” Muhammad told The Epoch Times. “Brandon’s a good guy, it’s the drugs that are doing that to him. So, I understand the neighbors’ perspective.”
Muhammad has become somewhat of a neighborhood protector, taking matters into his own hands. He runs H.E.L.P.E.R Foundation, a gang intervention coalition serving the Venice and Mar Vista neighborhoods.
Venice neighbors say they trust him so much they call him first when there’s a safety or noise issue. The homeless trust him, too, so he is able to keep the peace.
Most of the vagrants in Venice are involved in some element of gang activity, even if they are not officially part of a set, he said. Drug addiction is also rampant among the homeless, making it more difficult for them to accept resources.
