Senators Grassley and Johnson Requesting Hunter Biden Travel Records From Secret Service…


Immediately after the impeachment acquittal vote, senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson send a letter [pdf link here] to the Director of the Secret Service, James Murray, seeking travel records for Hunter Biden.

It appears the senators are looking into the background of Biden surrounding business dealings with China and Ukraine: ““We write to request information about whether Hunter Biden used government-sponsored travel to help conduct private business, to include his work for Rosemont Seneca and related entities in China and Ukraine.”

What makes this approach interesting is the questioning earlier today by House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler toward FBI Director Chris Wray.  Nadler asked several pointed questions to Wray about whether any FBI investigation of the Bidens was requested by the White House or Congress….  Perhaps Nadler expected some inquiries to start.

Day Three – Iowa Caucus Results Still Stuck in Propaganda Mode – Club Engineers in Holding Pattern…


Today is the third day since the Iowa caucuses took place and still the results are not announced.  The current status is 71 percent reported and the Democrat narrative engineers are in a holding pattern. [New York Times Election Results]:

Bernie Sanders is leading in the popular vote, but Pete Buttigieg is leading in State Delegate Equivalents (SDE’s); each has received 11 delegates so far.

Obviously the DNC club wants to extend the amount of time Buttigieg can use to claim victory and simultaneously diminish support for Bernie Sanders.  In the only update since the original release at 62 percent, media engineered candidate Joe Biden has dropped below the 15 percent threshold for delegates.  It is quite possible, despite the media polling prior to the caucus, that Joe Biden will not get any delegates at all.

If I had to guess I’d say the results will be released after the impeachment acquittal vote. Overall Democrat turnout in Iowa was terrible; the complete opposite of the preceding media narrative.

FBI Director Chris Wray Testifies to House Judiciary Committee – 10:00am Livestream…


FBI Director Chris Wray is testifying to the House Judiciary Committee today and will likely receive questions about the FISA abuse issue.  Chairman Nadler scheduled the hearing today in a transparent effort to avoid publicity on the content.

Democrat Grumpy Old Men!


IOWA CAUCUS DISASTER

We watched the Democrat Iowa caucus results pour in last night.

Only the results didn’t pour in.

The fish were biting, but not being recorded. The Democrat Party’s computers froze up like a lake in Minnesota, which seems suspicious.

Did Bernie do so well that those who control the party had to make sure there was no news? Hillary in particular does not like Bernie and doesn’t want him to gain any momentum.

We expected it to come down to Biden and Bernie who are two career politicians pushing 80. Are they too old for the presidency? Apparently they don’t think so. Despite Joe’s slurred speech and Bernie’s heart attack, they claim they are as fit as fiddles.

They both should be retired and spending their winters ice fishing like Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon in the film “Grumpy Old Men”.

The Democrats must know that they have no candidate capable of beating Trump. That’s why Hillary is waiting in the wings.

—Ben Garrison

Iowa Caucus


 

The two big winners among the Democrats were Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg. Sanders drew heavy support from nearly half of 17-29-year-olds (48 percent) who participated. The under-30 voters accounted for 24% of caucus turnout, which was up from 18% back in 2016. Sanders also captured 33% of the 30 to 44 age group. He does not have support in the over 45 age group as that drops to about 8%. The one thing you can say about Bernie is that he believes what he says. Elizabeth Warren just does not seem to really believe what she says also because she is not poor by any means.

Buttigieg’s support was more really much broader for it spanned across various segments of the Democratic base. Buttigieg gathered 24% among those ages 45 and older but won only 19% support among those under 30.

Look at the voting patterns, this does not shape up well for Hillary if she were in the running. Perhaps that is the real strategy – she is looking to be drafted. Michael Bloomberg is regarded as a modern Napoleon by many and Biden really has too many skeletons in the closet.

James Carville: Iowa Democrat Turnout Was Terrible and What Happened to The Polling?…


Democrat political strategist James Carville appears on MSNBC and plays the roll of Toto pulling back the curtain on a false media-constructed narrative.

Carville notes this was supposed to be a year of hyped democrat voter enthusiasm, but it just isn’t there.  Additionally, Carville asks what the heck happened to the polling over the past two weeks?  Biden was supposed to be a top-tier candidate… or something.

Pretending Not to Know – Media Wonder: What The Heck Happened to Joe Biden?


Last week, after the Senate impeachment trial outcome became likely, we surmised that Joe Biden’s candidacy would plummet fast.  The reason was simple, Biden was only propped up to create the Trump opponent narrative.  There really was no underlying support for the DNC/Media creation; it was all a useful ruse.

Today, displaying the Mamet Principle on almost every broadcast show, the TV pundits play the game of pretending to wonder what happened to Joe Biden.  WATCH:

The fictitious Biden candidacy no longer serves a purpose. These snippets below are quite funny now.

Perfect Club Engineering – Iowa Democrats Release Partial Results – Buttigieg Lead, Bernie Screwed, Biden Covered…


A key point of reference is ABC reporter Kendall Karson revealing the DNC came in and took over the tabulations of the Iowa Caucus result prior to this release. One Democratic official I spoke to is being told that the DNC is “taking over” the accounting of results. The official said this that to their knowledge, this has never happened before.” (link)

This is important because it highlights that The Club decided what partial results, from what locations, showing what outcomes, the Club wants to put forth.  Put another way, the DNC is releasing a specific 62% of the result to generate a specific Iowa narrative.

So what did they release:

[Data Source w/ 62% reporting]

Again, notice how all Club needs are met with this release.

Pete Buttigieg is proclaimed the winner (so far). This is narrative engineering that allows the promotion of Buttigieg and the diminishment of Bernie.  Undermining Bernie is the paramount Club goal here.  Buttigieg did not win the popular vote, and he will not likely be the final winner, but selecting this specific sub-set of votes allows a narrative to cement.

Next, notice how Joe Biden is propped up above the 15 percent threshold.  This makes it appear that Biden will receive delegates.  He may or may not; but for the narrative, propping up Biden is again a necessary club objective.

The dynamic to watch how Biden -vs- Sanders is played out and controlled.  The Club needs to diminish Bernie and hide the collapse of Biden.   The framework is to create a viable “Never Sanders” alternative?
