[Conservative Tribune] The old trope of "good cop, bad cop" may be getting a twist, and it’s no doubt making Democrats nervous.
Call Peter Strzok the bad cop. The embattled FBI investigator already showed a strong political bias that almost certainly influenced his judgment on inquiries into both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump ... and he’s now facing serious questions and a loss of his security clearance as a result.
He put on the bad cop act again during his recent testimony to Congress, where Strzok acted aloof and uncooperative as lawmakers tried to determine if FBI officials purposely tried to undermine the candidacy ‐ and then presidency ‐ of Donald Trump.

Tons of these stories about how it's all going to come crashing down for the junta at the FBI. Never comes to anything. I think it's disinformation, frankly.

Gets Immunity and then --how convenient!-- develops Amnesia. Not to be considered an Orchestrated Cover-Up™, not at all, move along there's nothing to see here.
[Daily Caller] Special counsel Robert Mueller has offered Clinton-connected superlobbyist Tony Podesta immunity in order to testify against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, according to Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
"Tonight we can report exclusively based on two separate sources we spoke to today that Tony Podesta has been offered immunity by Robert Mueller to testify against Paul Manafort," reported Carlson.
The Daily Caller News Foundation has not independently confirmed the report.
Podesta, whose brother is Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, worked with Manafort’s consulting firm in 2012 on a project to help a Ukrainian non-profit group that supported then-Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovych.

We can rely on the MSM to ignore the fact that Clinton associates need immunity.

Is Mueller really this desperate? A blatant political hack like Podesta would have zero credibility, and any competent defense attorney would destroy him on cross-exam.

Most of these enablers/fixers such as the Podesta bros never get a public vetting and yet they up in unelected positions of power working for people like the various dynasty families who have been in power. IMO, if one would really look into the background of some of these people you would find some very dark and strange rangers.
[PRESSTV] The largest US trade association for the oil and natural gas industry hails the beginning of "energy renaissance" in the country, yet warning policies by US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... could disrupt it.
The American Petroleum Institute (API) released an analysis Thursday, announcing a new record in the country’s crude oil and natural gas production in June.
Still, the sector might not thrive and that due to tariffs placed on steel and iron imports by the president, the API suggested.
"For the energy renaissance to continue, the US natural gas and oil industry critically needs policies that advance energy infrastructure around the country as well as the access of US energy to global markets," the association said in its statement.
According to the analysis, production of natural gas hit 4 million barrels per day while production of crude topped 10.7 million barrels per day.
"US oil production has supplied all of the growth in global oil demand so far this year and helped compensate for production losses in some OPEC nations," the API said. "With continued increases in drilling activity, the US is poised for further production increases in natural gas and oil."
Despite having imposed the tariffs, President Trump took the opportunity at his NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A single organization with differing goals, equipment, language, doctrine, and structure.... meetings in the EU de facto capital Brussels last week to market the US oil and natural gas exports.

This all reminds me of Reagan standing strong against the Soviets and all the liberals pissing themselves because they were certain he was going to destroy us all while most conservatives understood brinkmanship as a tactic.
Of course the pants wetting probably convinced the soviets that Reagan was crazy so there is that.
[LATimes] "But at 1 p.m., police at the protest site said authorities had been in contact with the group, and it had decided not to come in order to ensure peace."
For her part, Waters urged counterprotesters to stay away. She noted that the organization, which at various points over the last decade has formed militias across the country, also has a history of attempting to provoke violence.
"The Oath Keepers would like nothing more than to inflame racial tensions and create an explosive conflict in our community," Waters said in a statement. But...
That didn’t stop around 50 counterprotesters from arriving outside her office by 12:40 p.m., some from the United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers Local No. 36.
"We’re here to defend our community and the members of our union against the hostile threat of this violent organization that’s coming into our neighborhood with an agenda that is opposed to our interests," said union organizer Cliff Smith. He said he and his group would not be 'baited into confrontations.'
A number of protesters remained near the intersection of 102nd Street and Broadway long after police announced the Oath Keepers were no-shows. For much of this time, the mood remained festive, although it was punctuated with moments of tension.
At one point, counterprotesters pulled a small American flag off of a pickup truck, doused it in lighter fluid and set it ablaze. The crowd then began chanting, cursing the government and saying, 'America was never great.'"

The oath keepers have a history of doing this. Spouting off at the mouth then not following through.
The thing that they don't realize with this is this is the real stakes now. If they don't show up, the left will see this as another scalp taken and just get even more violent next time as they think the right will just fold and go home.
Either put your money, body and freedom where your mouth is or keep your mouth shut and stay home and fondle yourself while watching The Deer Hunter.

Lack of Professionalism by the Oath Keepers, in that:
1. The High Command didn't check to see that the Locals were ready, willing and able to engage; and/or
2. Oath Keepers are amateurs and not Rent-A-Mobs so they can't produce on demand?

I think Trump nailed it when he said he wants the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters to keep their seats because it allows him to claim they are the face of the Democrat Party. That face is not pretty and may not do very well in November.

My response is that the Maxine supporters who showed up gave crystal clear indication about the kind of folks who back Maxine and who were on call to create the violent storyline she is hoping for.....this is classic Communist agitprop tactics folks, wonder where they got the playboks, does the DNC have a lending library?
[Daily Caller] At a recent speech in South Africa, former President Barack Obama criticized wealth inequality, saying those who have more money should share their earnings with the less fortunate.
"Right now, I’m actually surprised by how much money I got," Obama said of the more than $20 million he earned between 2005 and 2016.
Obama then chided wealthy individuals for excess, saying, "There’s only so much you can eat. There’s only so big a house you can have. There’s only so many nice trips you can take. I mean, it’s enough."
"We’re going to have to worry about economics if we want to get democracy back on track," Obama continued "We’re going to have to consider new ways of thinking about these problems, like a universal income, review of our workweek, how we retrain our young people, how we make everybody an entrepreneur at some level."

Most of the leadership of the Democrat party seem to be suffering from old age and/or old ideas. Many of them can remember sodomizing immature dinosaurs.
