John Durham has been a special prosecutor for almost a year and a half — not a long time, but plenty of time for a drumbeat to begin that he was showing little progress against his orders to examine the origins of the debunked Trump-Russia collusion narrative that convulsed a presidency.

His few indictments so far have been directed against peripheral players, feeding a fear among Donald Trump’s supporters that elites higher up the stack are going to get away with their chicanery.

Now, however, Durham has signaled to the American people that his investigation has legs, despite perceptions of plodding inertia. He has provided hope that accountability in D.C. — rare as a MAGA sticker on a Prius — actually might happen.  Here’s how he did it.

Vlad Putin, the evil though very calculating chief oligarch of the shriveled nation of Russia (when stacked against its predecessor, the Soviet Union), is playing chess over the fate of Ukraine, while our figurehead president and his gaggle of administration mediocrities (here being charitable) and Pentagon toadies play checkers.

On Monday (2/21), Putin recognized Russian-dominated regions of Ukraine, followed by a minor incursion of "peacekeepers," traveling by bus, not tanks.

Putin doesn't need a full-scale invasion, I believe, because his approach is strategic.  Meanwhile, we’re witnessing full diversion mode as American news outlets happily obsess on Ukraine.  Putin is playing SlowJoe like a fiddle – here’s how.

Medieval alchemists sought to turn base metals into precious metals like gold. The more the alchemists bumped into the reality that gold was an element, the more desperately they sought to find fantastic ways to fabricate the rare element out of nothing.

Joe Biden operates on the same alchemist principles. He tries to turn his record of dross into golden success. Hard to do when the prices of gas, food, and houses—the stuff of life—are collectively rising far higher than just 7.5 percent. Biden is hunting for the same magic excuses to fabricate a golden spin on crime.

Perhaps the greatest Biden catastrophe was turning an energy independent, oil and gas exporting nation into a dependent importer again.  Looks like Joe wants to turn gold into trash, instead of the other way around.

Republicans are expressing fury over allegations Hillary Clinton operatives paid a contractor to spy on former President Donald Trump during his 2016 campaign and into his presidency.

They are calling it the “biggest crime in U.S. history” while demanding “a total clean out of the political class in Washington.”

Taking to social media, Republican lawmakers offered critical reactions, with Trump calling the scandal “worse than Watergate.”  Here are over two dozen of their spitting-mad denunciations of Democrat crimes against the President.

Hillary Clinton is in big trouble.

With revelations from Special Counsel John Durham's investigation that her 2016 campaign literally paid tech companies to spy on the Trump campaign, the Trump transition, the Trump residence, and the Trump White House, the question now is what kind of felony charges are coming.

Curiously, she's made herself scarce these past few days.  Her normally active Twitter account has gone silent.  But it doesn't mean she's hiding in shame.  She's all full of defiance and mockery. At least just before the story broke.

From the closing weeks of 2020 through February 1, 2022, more than sixty percent of the world’s population was injected with Covid-19 vaccines.

This means that in a period of fewer than fourteen months more than 4.7 billion people received at least one Covid shot. Tens of millions received as many as four doses.  To begin administering a vaccine to the general population within such a short trial period was wholly unprecedented in the annals of modern medicine.

Untold millions across the world have already suffered severe side effects from these injections in the short term. And we do not yet know what the medium- or long-term consequences may be because these vaccines have not been trialed for such time frames.  The Covid-19 vaccination crusade is a global crime the like of which the world has not yet seen.

Global warming is real. It is also beneficial.

This startling fact is kept from the public by a determined effort on the part of alarmists and their media allies who are determined to use the language of crisis and emergency.

The biggest benefit of increased CO2 emissions is global greening, the increase year after year of green vegetation on the land surface of the planet.  Forests grow more thickly, grasslands more richly and scrub more rapidly. This has been measured using satellites and on-the-ground recording of plant-growth rates. It is happening in all habitats, from tundra to rainforest.

I bet Greta Thunberg did not tell you that.  But TTP will… and there’s more to tell as well.
