The Midland Flood

Wow.

I’ve driven through that area countless times on the way up to our cabin at Houghton Lake (we always considered Lake Sanford the half-way point from Flint), but I’ve never actually been in downtown Midland. I hadn’t realized the lake was artificial, dammed by the Tittabawassee. I wonder if this will affect Dow Chemical (the major industry of the town)?

The Media

…has to start being honest about the Obama scandals before it’s too late:

Unlike the Russia collusion fiction that was maintained by the Obama administration, holdouts in the Trump administration, and finally the Mueller special counsel posse, the spying and leaking campaign story is coming out with facts. Declassifications, court documents, and investigative reports have all shown the falsehood of the Russia collusion hoax and the truth of the spying scandal. More could be coming.

It was one thing to spin the Russia collusion hoax during a time of mass elite freakout. But now everyone knows it was false. The truth is an existential threat to journalists, which is why the more activist among them are scrambling to kill the story and paint it as a distraction. These reporters won book contracts, TV gigs, promotions, and political success by peddling the hoax. They truly can’t be honest about it.

But others who weren’t so complicit have a shot here. There is no getting out of this easy, so if there are any reporters who care about their reputation, much less the truth, they should get on the side of truth now.

Don’t hold your breath. They can’t handle the truth.

The Flynn Case

Byron York: The big thing we still don’t know about it. Anyone who wants to continue to claim that Flynn lied to the FBI should be demanding this document. Unfortunately for them, the available evidence doesn’t support them.

What is Joe Biden hiding?

I’m surprised that Stephanopoulos pressed him on this. Have the DNC decided that they need a new candidate?

Some questions for Judge Sullivan, needing answers.

At what point does Sidney Powell appeal to a higher court?

How the Obama administration shattered the rule of law.

Though to be fair, they were only completing the job that the Clinton administration started.

[Afternoon update]

Nevertheless, Sidney Powell persisted.

In my book, she’s lawyer of the year.

[Update Friday afternoon]

Jonathan Chait’s cockamamie blackmail theory about Michael Flynn.

The lengths to which these toadies will go to twist themselves into logical knots to defend their Messiah Obama is breathtaking.

#Obamagate

No, it’s not a conspiracy theory:

Democrats and their allies, who like to pretend that President Obama’s only scandalous act was wearing a tan suit, are going spend the next few months gaslighting the public by focusing on the most feverish accusations against Obama. But the fact is that we already have more compelling evidence that the Obama administration engaged in misconduct than we ever did for opening the Russian-collusion investigation.

The Clinton gang did this, too. They were happy to use outrageous accusations as a distraction from their real crimes and coverups.

[Thursday-afternoon update]

Get ready for #ObamaGate to become #ObamaBidenGate.

Saint Yovanovich

Well, well, well. It turns out that she was dissembling in her Congressional testimony.

[Update a while later]

And the hits just keep on coming. Crowdstrike had no proof that the Russians hacked the DNC server.

[Afternoon update]

Grenell has revealed the list of the many Obama administration people who requested unmasking of Flynn. Joe Biden, who says he didn’t know anything about it, is on it. Of course, given his increasing dementia, maybe he just forgot.
