The Russians are back just in time for another election. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi declared on Sunday that pro-Palestinian protesters were “connected to Russia” and pushing “Mr. Putin’s message.” She called for . . . you guessed it . . . a new Russian investigation.
Protesters have targeted Pelosi’s home, usually an aggressive tactic reserved for Republicans. Indeed, when protesters were toppling statues, Pelosi saw no international conspiracy or influence. Instead, she dismissed the violent riots and said “people will do what they do.”
Pelosi also refused to condemn Rep. Maxine Waters (D., Cal.) when, during violent rioting, Waters declared that protesters “gotta stay on the street” and “get more confrontational.” Waters has also called for protesters to confront and hound government officials at restaurants and other locations.
It appears that the protests are now far more menacing as Democratic leaders are targeted and young voters appear to be increasingly disassociated from the party. CNN’s Dana Bash asked Pelosi about the shift against Democratic leaders like herself. Pelosi’s response was all-too-familiar:
“They are in front of my house all the time. I have a feeling for what feelings they have. But we have to think about what we’re doing. And what we have to do is try to stop the suffering in Gaza. This is women and children, people who don’t have a place to go, so let’s address that. But for them to call for a cease-fire is Mr. Putin’s message, Mr. Putin’s message. Make no mistake, this is directly connected to what he would like to see. Same thing with Ukraine. It’s about Putin’s message. I think some of these protesters are spontaneous, and organic and sincere. Some, I think, are connected to Russia. I say that having looked at this for a long time.”
When Bash followed up to ask whether she was actually stating that these protesters are “Russian plants,” Pelosi doubled down and said that the groups and their financing “should be investigated.”
It would not be surprising if Russia fueled dissent in the United States through its media and intelligence assets. The United States has repeatedly been accused of the same efforts in other countries. However, the allegations of Russian interference in 2016 proved to be overblown and there is no evidence that Russian operations materially impacted the election outcome.
However, an investigation into political groups by the government is a serious move that can chill free speech and association. The fact is that there are many Americans sympathetic with the Palestinians. Like the 2016 elections, the division is already evident in the country. These protests across the country are not the product of foreign manipulation.
Half of Biden voters believe that Israel is committing genocide according to polls. While a recent poll shows strong continuing support for Israel, a majority of young people support the Palestinians over Israel.
In other words, there is ample support for the protests outside of the Pelosi’s home without the involvement of Russia. Nevertheless, Russia is back as a ready-made label to demonize political opponents.
For example, soon after a hearing on censorship, MSNBC contributor and former Sen. Claire McCaskill attacked journalists and members who spoke in favor of free speech. She appeared on MSNBC to denounce the member witnesses (Sen. Chuck Grassley, Sen. Ron Johnson, and former Rep. Gabbard) as “Putin apologists” and Putin lovers. She exclaimed, “I mean, look at this, I mean, all three of those politicians are Putin apologists. I mean, Tulsi Gabbard loves Putin.”
This McCarthy-like mantra is being repeated across the Democratic Party to shutdown opposition to censorship or other measures. Free speech advocates or Biden critics are now fellow travelers of Russia as we head into yet another election.
There have been ample reasons to criticize some of these protesters and I have long objected to the targeting of the homes of politicians and justices. However, labeling them Russian agents or cutouts should concern all citizens.
In fairness to Pelosi, however, I did find this training film that could be the evidence that she is seeking on the Russian street operations:
It appears that after years of serving cow pies slathered with Russian dressing to her fast food constituency Ms. Pelosi can’t get the taste of Putin out of her mouth.
Concrete thinking. Nancy needs to look into Memory Care. I hear they are very useful. Especially the locked ones.
Another day, another column that’s light on legal analysis.
Another day and another change of subject by Anonymous. What legal analysis is necessary to determine that Nancy Pelosi sees a Russian behind every tree. For a Women who lives in fear everything rustles. No need to legally parse that either. Anonymous has something in common with Nancy Pelosi. They both see people who are not there.
TiT,
That is the thing.
Pelosi sees Russian interference everywhere.
Most people already know who they are going to vote for if, barring some surprising turn of events, it is a Biden vs Trump rematch.
Is there some mass group of undecided voters out there? Not that I know of. I know who my friends and family are going to vote for or they are not voting at all.
It was the same in 2016 and 2020 too.
2016, it was either they were holding their nose and vote for Clinton, or it was an enthusiastic vote for Trump. I voted third party.
2020, it was voting against Trump, or an an enthusiastic vote for Trump. I voted third party.
2024, I am voting whomever is the Republican candidate is.
Anonymous, Soviet Democrat Apparatchik cringing under public exposure, posted the single sentence he was to memorize before being dispatched here:Another day, another column that’s light on legal analysis.
Any and all legal analysis of of the constitutionality of the actions and claims of Soviet Democrat leaders like Bolshevik Bribery Biden, Commissar Pelosi, or any other shall be adjudicated by the Soviet Democrats’ apparatchiks like Anonymous, with their Internet Law Degrees, to be lightweight.
No evidence that it is lightweight to be provided (nor expected), of course.
Pelosi has an impeachment… infarction .
“Some, I think, are connected to Russia. I say that having looked at this for a long time.” __Pelosi
Some may be connected to Russia. One can’t be sure, but most are attached to the left, in other words, allies of Nancy Pelosi and the Democrat Party.
Pelosi’s declarations are the irrational raving of a senile Crypto-Jew. Her maiden name is prima facie evidence.
You are a stupid person. Do you realize Jesus was Jewish as were all of the early Christians? I don’t know Pelosi’s lineage, nor do I care.
I’ll bet you have a real alias but are too scared to post under it.
Huh?! Her maiden name is Italian, as is her married name!
course Russia – progressives are connected to Russia.
The most biting dark commedy of the Trump p[residency was that so many left wing nuts beleived politicians who were Swiming in Russian money – by the hundreds of millions were successfully persuading people that Trump was the one in bed with the Russians.
…..
You can fool some of the people all of the time.
“Nancy Pelosi declared on Sunday that pro-Palestinian protesters were ‘connected to Russia’ . . .”
The Right makes a connection between a virus and China. The Left denounces it as a “conspiracy theory.”
The Left makes a connection between protestors and Russia. The Left hails it as the Wisdom of a Statesman.
Why is that?
Nice hyperbole!
Jonathan: It is no secret Putin supported DJT both in 2016 and 2020. In 2016 he lead an operation–code named “Project Lakth” to spread disinformation about Hilary Clinton. The 448-page Mueller report documented Russian interference. Mueller indicted 26 Russians and 3 Russian orgs–documenting numerous contacts between the DJT campaign and Russian officials.
The Republican-led Senate submitted a 1,313 page report in 2019 concluding the Russian interference was “coherent and well-constructed” with the intent to sabotage the 2016 election in favor of DJT. In 2018 a federal grand jury returned indictments of 12 Russians for their roles in the 2016 election.
In spite all the evidence you bizarrely claim “the allegations of Russian interference in 2016 proved to be overblown”. And then you go so far as to argue that any attempts by US government agencies to investigate possible Russian interference in this year’s presidential election can “chill free speech and association”. It seems “Putin apologists” are all over this blog!
According to Ai:
Understanding Protests and Their Funding
Protests are complex social phenomena that can arise from a multitude of factors including political discontent, economic grievances, social injustice, and more. The organization of large-scale protests often requires significant resources for mobilization, communication, logistics, and sometimes legal support. Funding for these activities can come from a variety of sources:
Grassroots Fundraising: Many protests start or grow significantly through small contributions from a large number of individuals who support the cause. This can be facilitated by online crowdfunding platforms or local fundraising events.
Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and Foundations: Some NGOs and foundations provide financial support to movements that align with their mission. This support can be in the form of grants for specific projects or direct funding for operational costs.
Political Parties or Interest Groups: In certain cases, political parties or interest groups may fund protests to advance their political objectives or to challenge their opponents.
Individual Donors: Wealthy individuals who sympathize with the cause of a protest may also contribute significant funds.
Empirical Research Findings
Empirical research on the funding of large organized protests is somewhat limited due to the opaque nature of funding sources and the diverse contexts in which protests occur. However, studies that do exist often focus on case studies of specific protests or broader analyses of social movements.
A study published in the American Sociological Review examined the role of resource mobilization in social movements, highlighting that access to resources (including funding) is crucial for sustained protest activities but not necessarily indicative of external manipulation or control.
Research featured in Mobilization: An International Quarterly, a leading journal on social movements, has explored how different types of funding impact the strategies and outcomes of protest movements. This research suggests that while external funding can enhance a movement’s capacity, it also brings challenges such as potential dependency on donors and shifts in strategic priorities.
The Journal of Conflict Resolution has published studies on the dynamics of protest movements in authoritarian regimes, indicating that both domestically funded grassroots efforts and international support play roles in different contexts.
Probability Assessment
Given the diversity of funding sources and the context-dependent nature of protests, it is accurate to say that large organized protests against governments can be funded through various means including grassroots fundraising, NGOs, political parties or interest groups, and individual donors. The probability that this answer is correct is high because it encompasses the broad spectrum of possible funding mechanisms without asserting that one particular source is universally predominant.

Dennis McIntyre/Biden’s Benghazi Bob, was rushed in to pitch the “Russia Collusion” lie yet again Jonathan: It is no secret Putin supported DJT both in 2016 and 2020.
It’s no secret to normal Americans that the Russia Collusion dossier was from start to finish a product of Dennis/Bob’s paymasters and puppetmasters, The Soviet Democrats, the Clinton Crime Cartel, and The Magical Mad Marxist Mulatto and The Big Guy, Bribery Biden. The “Russia Dossier”: An idea that Clinton’s Jake Sullivan, now Biden’s National Security Advisor came up with, and that Obama/Biden backed with DNC money, and the Obama/Biden FBI and CIA were told to go lie to FISA courts that it was real.
Soviet Democrat police state fascism in action… and Dennis McIntyre and the Soviet Democrats love an American justice system that works that way. Where the lies of Dennis/Bob and their masters like Pelosi, Barack, and Joe are actually the truth.
Bizarrely – no, predictably – Dennis McIntyre/Benghazi Bob doesn’t mention that that Mueller found no evidence of “collusion”: and nobody was charged with anything like that. Nor does he mention that, under oath, Mueller said that he couldn’t remember why he DIDN’T investigate the Soviet Democrats that came up with the idea for the “Russia Dossier” to get valuable information on the sources, if it was worse than it supposedly was, etc. Never occurred to go to the source hoping for more evidence: the most professional criminal investigators in the land supposedly displaying their professional expertise to the world.
Nor could Mueller explain under oath that while he charged anyone who he had a hint lied to his FBI agents – he never charged a single one of those FBI agents who perjured themselves and uttered false documents to FISA judges to get counterespionage warrants. Never charged his investigation’s lawyer who falsified an exculpatory letter so that it read instead that a US Navy veteran who had been working for the FBI was supposedly instead working for Putin. Dennis/Bob never mentioned that either – but then, Dennis/Bob never actually read the Mueller Report. Dennis/Bob is a Party Parrot; that’s his job.
And then Dennis/Bob, the inept Novice At Deception, copies and pastes the referral to the Republican-led senate conclusion that concluded Russian interference (nobody said there wasn’t, Marxist Useful Idiot Apparatchiks, including interference on behalf of Clinton). While doing so, ensuring he makes no mention that the report also said that Russian interference also took place to aid Clinton. Particularly the parts that found that whatever Russian interference there was, it didn’t affect the election for either Clinton or Trump.
Dennis/Bob NEVER bothered to read the Senate report – parrots can’t read.
Meanwhile, Dennis McIntyre/Baghdad Bob somehow or other forgot to mention that the Durham report blew up both Mueller’s political hit job AND the insinuation that the Soviet Democrats bought and paid for “Russia Dossier” had some semblance of truth to it. But then, Dennis/Bob isn’t here to spread the truth about his Soviet Democrat employers.
Never saw a single Soviet Democrat Spokesliar attempt this strategy before Dennis McIntyre/Baghdad Bob was assigned here to attempt the same tactic.
In conclusion, don’t expect to see Dennis McIntyre/Baghdad Bob, currently on a “Trump’s lawyers are terrible” kick, draw any legal conclusions as to why Clinton’s lawyer from those “Russia Dossier” days, Marc Elias, SHOULDN’T be criminally charged for hiring and employing a foreign national to do work for her campaign writing the fairy tale “Russia Dossier”. And another foreign national hired to take the “Russia Dossier” to the FBI and media – and then declare the millions of dollars he money laundered straight from the DNC and Clinton Campaign as “legal fees”. If this was a Trump lawyer, Dennis McIntyre/Baghdad Bob would be pleading with Turley to take notice of the lawyer’s criminality and pointing out the crimes to the world.
To Soviet Democrats, that is all legitimate – and they’d throw Trump’s lawyers in jail and disbar them if they thought for one second they did the same thing.
Dennis – the indicted Russians were people whom Mueller knew would never be prosecuted. The allegations against them would never have to be proved.
Mueller dropped the case when a NY judge demanded prima fascia evidence of an actual crime.
Mueller indicted 26 Russians and 3 Russian orgs–documenting numerous contacts between the DJT campaign and Russian officials.
All but a single one were never subjected to a a challenge. That means they are less than meaningless.
One did show up for the appointed court date Meuller immediately asked for a continuance, to prepare for court. The Judge gave him a small lesson in the law, explaining indictments mean the govt IS ready for trial. Mueller was forced to abandon the case as he had no evidence to present.
More of the raw ignorance of Dennis
DEnnis, you aparently failed to get the memo, Russia, Russia, Russia was a Clinton Hoax,
You are supposed to shut up about it otherwise people might be reminded that it was Clinton in league with the Russians in 2016 and Clinton getting hundreds of millions from them.
No the Mueller report did not document anything. It wasted 22 months came up with nothing but speculation.
The only Russian in the entire mess – Worked for Clinton. Oops.
It is 2024 – all of this has been THOROUGHLY debunked many many many times before.
Are you Thick ?
How in the world do you expect to be taken credibly when you are selling nonsense equal to “the moon landing was faked”
Lots of posters here have just wasted lots of time providing just SOME of the copious evidence that you are full of Schiff.
OT: It is sad that Biden says “nobody messes with a Biden” as them and their lawyers go whole hog anytime anyone accuses Joe, Hunter or Joe’s brother of the obvious corruption that they have turned into an “art” form. Pun intended. HOWEVER, let Joe’s buddies in Iran supply the weapons and moral support for the killing of AMERICAN SOLDIERS and he turns a blind eye. Or he will just scream in his old man way that Trump called his son a loser because he died in the D Day operation of 1944. Wrong, a lie, weird in an odd way even for him and completely insane.
Watch the clip of Joe screaming the famous lie that Trump called the guys lying in the French cemetery, the cemetery that houses our Normandy dead, losers and he won’t let him denigrate his son this way. His son that died from brain cancer after he was out of the service?????? This is the president.
Ah. So it is the Russians again. If Biden loses the election, it is due to Russia interference. It could NOT be these people see Biden’s lack of effective foreign policy that just might influence their voting? Nah! It is the Russian’s! Again!
Some how, all those minorities who are ditching the Democrat party, or not planning on voting this election or even voting for Trump will all be due so some kind of mystery Russian interference.
Could not be failed Democrat policies?
No, of course not!
Russia! Russia! Russia!
Jonathan Turley on Fox & Friends re: the GOP push to impeach Mayorkas: “I just don’t believe they have a cognizable basis here for impeachment.”
Sure they do. There were 2 impeachments against trump. Therefore Repos must exact retribution and impeach anything that moves that is associated with a democrat. This is the worst kind of political gamesmanship they can come up with. Such is the situation we are in now where the leading candidate for the republican party has an IQ sub 80 and everyone in the party is racing to make sure they are worse than their leader, lest they be called out and ostracized.
Biden I. Q. less than 80. Fixed it for u. 🤗
Trump’s the one repeatedly confusing Nikki Haley and Nancy Pelosi, saying that he ran against Obama, and claiming that Biden will start WW2.
Trump confused a name, in one speech that was probably over an hour long, Biden said he just took a photo with a woman …who wasn’t even at the event.
Trump’s said in multiple speeches that he defeated Obama. He rambles incoherently when he’s not reading off a teleprompter. He crows about “acing” a simple cognitive test that everyone aces except those with dementia, and he claims that some of the questions on the test were “hard.” Your guy is in cognitive trouble.
I believe that you are not incoherent, you do not suffer from dementia, and you would pass a cognitive test. Please, therefore, explain to us your incessant and egotistical need to criticize others’ comments, rather than create your own “cognitive” “coherent” and “dementia-free” topic-related substantive arguments?
I frequently do just that. Perhaps you have me confused with someone else.
Maybe we wouldn’t “confuse you with others” IF YOU CREATED A NAME.
In Nevada trump told his adoring audience that he was way smarter than them because he aced the dementia test that was very hard. Saying it was very hard means he has early onset dementia. And calling his adoring audience dumber than him means he thinks those that adore him have even worse dementia than him.
Yep, go ahead, support a man with known early dementia, a rapist, his company is guilty of fraud. He hid secret documents in his home bathroom. Yep, any trump supporter is proving who they are by the man they support.
Notice I said nothing about who I support, only pointing out that those that support trump are supporting a rapist.
No, they are not. There is not a shred of evidence, nor any reason to believe that Trump is a rapist. Biden, though, is an actual, literal rapist. Tara Reade, unlike that Carroll nutcase, is completely credible, and she told people about it right away.
And it was Clinton, not Trump, who had classified information on a server that she kept in the bathroom.
Even a massively politically biased NYC Jury one so clueless they beleived atleast part of the gibberish of a raving lunatic, Even that jury could not find byu the lowest standard of proof in a court countest that Trump had Raped Carroll.
Both you and Judge Kaplan are in cognative decline.
One would think you would atleast know the actual facts of your own tin foil victories
The is no test for demensia. The MOCA is a test for MILD cognative decline.
The top score on the MACA is 30 – but anything over 26 is normal – so Yes, you can ACE the MOCA.
Only 5% of people over 60 taking the MOCA score 30, the media score for those over 60 is 26.5.
It is highly unlikely that 50% of those over 60 are cognatively impaired so it is probable that the 26 point threshold for normal is too high.
My Father had vascular dimensia. In his last year his score was 16. He was about as functional at that Time as Bden is now.
No he says things you do not like when he is off a teleprompter.
I would note Trump speaks more at a single Rally than Biden does in 6 months.
Trump has the mental ability to speak – even off the cuff for hours.
Biden can not read a telepromter for 2 minutes without muttering complete gibberish.
“Biden said he . . .”
His cognitive decline is far worse than that. He has an extended habit of mumbling, fumbling, and “senior moments.” Along with the telltale: dementia gait.
Sam,
And despite all of his mumbling, fumbling, and “senior moments,” they still think he is the best to run with.
To find Trump malaprops you have to go back weeks or months. To find Biden malaprops you have to go back to yesterday or this morning.
No, Trump shows his onset of dementia at all of his rallies.
HullBobby,
So, according to Biden, Trump is the current sitting president.
Right Upstate, plus he was arrested in South Africa, was raised as a Puerto Rican Jew, gave his dead uncle an award, had oil cancer, had his house burn down, played for Delaware etc etc etc.
If Trump only spoke for an hour – that was one of the short ones.
B52’s just landed in Israel, KC-130 tankers are headed that way.
The War Drums are beating against Iran.
There is no more future tense – Biden HAS started WWIII the only question is how much bigger it will get.
The US is currently actively fighting against countries and peoples that the US gave millions and Billions to – less than a year ago.
Democrats changed the standards for impeachment. Regardless, Turley is incorrect.
Mayorkas lied under oath to congress repeatedly.
There are many ways to estimate someone else’s IQ. People who are successful in one field of endeavor usually have IQ’s over 120.
People who are successful in multiple fields tend to have astronomical IQ’s.
Trump has succeeded in NY Residential realestate. NYC Commerical real estate. Gambling. Hospitality, Entertainment. Beauty Pagents, and politics – just to name a few.
You can dislike and disagree with Trump. But you are deluding yourself if you think he is stupid.
Typical left wing nut – certain you can read other peoples minds.
Republican politicians are getting behind Trump – because it is increasingly evident that he is going to win, and increasingly they know it.
He is now beating Biden by 4.3pts – and above 50% in 3 polls in the RCP average.
You do not go over 50% without earning the vote of half of independents.
Trumps numbers are rising slowly, Biden’s are declining rapidly.
Trump has gained almost 10pts in 18months.
No one has ever been elected president with Biden’s negatives.
With the MSM propping him up, Biden has failed on the economy, failed on domestic p[policy, failed on Covid, Failed on the border, Failed on foreign policy, failed on energy policy. Failed on almost everything he has touched.
If the economy was actually growing by 3.2% – that probably would not be enough to get Biden over the finish line.
Frankly I am not sure he gets through the month. Biden is losing support of Democratic voters,
He is losing the support of the party, and most of the things I noted he has failed at – are going to get worse not better int he next 10 monhts.
The House Republicans want you to believe there is a literal invasion at our southern border but also that it doesn’t need to be repelled or stopped while Biden is in office, because Trump wants to run on it. At least some of the Senate Republicans like Lankford will say that they took an oath to the Constitution and will put country over party to vote in favor of a good bill.
All lies. REpublicans want to end the invasion, not limit it to 5,000 A DAY!
On the contrary, Republicans say it does need to be repelled or stopped, which is precisely why they’re not happy with a “deal” that would explicitly allow it to continue!
Who deployed the NG to the border to stop the invasion ? Who put up razor wire ?
We do not know if the proposed bill is a good bill – no one will show it to us – not even other senators.
But what leaks out is a very bad bill.
Allegedly McConnell refuses to allow any bill that has any enforcement mechanism – No matter what the bill says – anything that does not have consequences if the President does not follow the law will not pass the house.
If Democrats want a “good bill” – HR2 is sitting there ready for them to vote on.
Or Biden could just whip out his pen and undo the EO’s he issued at the start of his term that F#$Kd everything up.
Regardless, your argument assumes ordinary people are morons. Their not. Most people outside the left fringes know that all Biden has to do is what Trump did to secure the border.
People are started to grasp the shell game democrats play – NO you do not get more money to unf#$k what you broke.
If failure to detain every migrant under INA 235(b)(2)(A) is an impeachable offense, then every cabinet official responsible for enforcing immigration laws since 1996 (when that law was passed) should have been impeached. Because no administration has ever been able to do that.
Does this mean Trump committed impeachable offenses when he released huge numbers of migrants during his presidency, as every president does?
And if House Republicans are really going to impeach DHS secretary Mayorkas for not detaining every migrant seeking asylum, they should be asked if they’re prepared to appropriate the immense sums of money that doing this would actually cost.
It wouldn’t cost very much, because if it becomes known that that is the policy most of the infiltrators will stop coming. If it had been known as the policy from the beginning, they would never have come in the first place. And that is the answer to your first question too: the Trump administration, like most of its predecessors, tried its best to stop the infiltrators; it didn’t manage to stop all of them, but it stopped enough that the numbers trying it were manageable. Biden came in and threw the gates open, put up welcome signs, and notified the whole world that they could just come over; that is why what had for decades been a relative trickle turned into a flood.
Actual asylum law requires that you request asylum at the US consulate in YOUR country.
That if that is too dangerous you may do so in the FIRST country that you enter.
After requesting asylum the consulate will evaluate your claim – if you can not provide a basis that meets the narrow scope of allowable claims for asylum – you are denied. If you can make a proper claim, you must then provide evidence to support that claim.
Asylum is NOT a normal way to immigrate to the US – 1M people enter the US yearly – throgh normal immigration – not asylum.
Actual asylum grans have been about 20,000 a year for 2 decades. Asylum is for people who face the threat of being killed by their own country – People like Salmon Rushdie, Malala Yousafzai.
If you are seeking to come to the US because your country sucks or to have a better life -=that is NOT asylum.
US immigration law did not every anticipate that a president would ignore the requirements for asylum and allow 8M people who have no foundation for an asylum claim to get an asylum hear – 8 or more years int he future.
Further US immigration law is clear – if you do not cross at a port of entry, you have two choices – immediate voluntary deportation, or a hearing for crossing illegaly where you will be convicted and deported without the oportunity to try again.
There is no “sneak in and then claim asylum” provision.
It should also have been obvious – even to morons, that US immigration law would NOT be written as – sneak accross the border wherever you please and if caught – ask for asylum When our immigration laws were passed those drafting them understood that people would try to game the system and worked hard to prevent that.
1). Democrats through out any standards for Impeachement with Trump faux impeachment I and II.
2). There are more grounds to impeach appointed government officers than elected ones.
3). Mayorkas has lied under oath to both the house and the senate. That is a “high crime and misdemeanor”./
Giving the facts surrounding Russiagate (e.g. Steele Dossier fabricated by Democrats, Hunter Biden corruption in Ukraine, FBI lying on FISA warrants, and on and on and on), you would think Pelosi would know better. To me, this shows that much of the Democratic leadership is out of touch with reality.
I hear ol’ Hammerin’ Dave DePape (of pounding Pasul Pelosi fame) was a Putin plant, too. Just wondering where Dave planted himself.
Mespo– I rarely disagree with you but I have it on good authority from 51 intelligence experts that the Hammerin’ Dave DePape incident had all the earmarks of a Chinese undercovers operation similar to that which was used on Swalwell.
She is easily one of the most vile and absurd people of any political persuasion currently walking the earth. Thank *God* we have the freedom to mock and hold up the mirror to that sociopath. Trump’s got nothin’ on her.
I almost never disagree with Professor Turley but with Antifa (sorry but BLM, the climate idiots and the new Hamas support movement are really Antifa goons in middle eastern or climate drag) burning down cities, attacking people in the street, closing highways, even highways leading to major airports and tunnels, storming state and even the federal legislature, we need to know who is supporting them. This isn’t a grass roots operation, this isn’t a civil rights movement, this is an attack on the west.
It is my contention that these groups are formed by Soros backed money, CCP organizers and useful idiots coming out of the schools. The professors are radical, the students are stupid and the damage is great.
Please note that the climate goons never protest China and their building coal plants weekly. Please note that the Middle Eastern goons never attack Iran or Syria for the thousands and thousands of Muslims killed. Please note that the Pink lady Cindy Sheehan never attacked Obama as she disappeared the day after Bush was gone.
All of these fake “movements” are at the behest of the CCP, Soros and the radical academics that hate the west. If we can have the largest FBI investigation in history going after anyone near DC on J6 then we can investigate who is supporting closing down our highways, closing down our energy independence and demanding Israel surrender.
@hullbobby
Agreed. They are 100% organized and funded, these things do not just ‘happen’, particularly with those generations, from occupy wall street to people blocking traffic ‘for Palestine’. There is NOTHING grassroots about any of it.
Check this out, I just started researching this HUB, ESG activism, https://www.influencewatch.org/hub/esg-activism/ . Once you understand the concept move on to Code Pink (CODEPINK) https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/codepink/ Code Pink (or CODEPINK) is a left-wing advocacy group founded in 2002 by Jodie Evans and Medea Benjamin. It was created to oppose the 2003 Iraq War but also focuses on “social justice” by using “feminist principals [sic].”1 It is known for its support of Palestinian interests,2 the Communist Castro regime in Cuba,3 and other anti-American governments and groups. 4 Since 2017, Code Pink has also received significant funding from grantmaking entities linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and has issued numerous pro-China statements, calling on the United States government to treat the totalitarian power more favorably. The group has also worked to discredit allegations that the Chinese regime systematically mistreats dissidents and ethnic minority populations. 5 In August 2023, emerging reporting on the group’s ties to China prompted inquiries by a United States Senator. 6
Despite its often-radical rhetoric, Code Pink has come into conflict with the pro-Israel left in the United States over its support for the Palestinian cause. Notably, the influential and left-leaning Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has attacked the group over statements by its leadership, such as then-national co-director Ariel Gold’s claim that “Israel is a terror state” and that its existence is a “war crime.” Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin has also been a target for ADL criticism for appearing to defend the Palestinian militant group Hamas, which frequently fires unguided rockets into Israeli population centers. 7
CODEPINK signed a petition supporting the Green New Deal and has opposed the use of zero carbon nuclear energy. 8 9
So, according to Pelosi and her Dem dummies, Putin and “Putin apologists” are for free speech and against genocide. Sounds like a badge of honor.
Its funny to see some of the posts here.
What Pelosi is doing is turning on the radical left.
Many conservative / pro-Israel pundits have already pointed out that the majority of the protesters for ‘peace’ and a ‘cease fire’ in Gaza are in fact ignorant of the Palestinian ‘plight’. They have no understanding of Hamas, or that Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran all say death to Israel.
Most are from other leftist / communist / socialist organizations.
Hence her reference to Putin.
No its not Putin, but George Soros and others funding these leftist orgs.
Since they are no longer useful Pelosi is shifting towards the right.
Funny how that is… if she runs and wins again in 2024… she’ll flip back when Trump wins and she’ll use them to attack Trump.

Jonthan – Good point – We need Alan Arkin and his crew- perfect choice-The Russians are Coming- Nancy has seen the Russians are Coming very early along with the Dems, Trump haters, Washington and Global Elite. Pretty soon Nancy and the DEMS. Global and Washington Elite will connect the Demonstrators and Russians?? to Trump. Demand a new investogation as their other investigations fail. Suggest Nancy counts/dreams of Russians in her sleep along with “Block Buster Stock Trades” $. As we get closer to the Elections things are going to get very crazy as the DEMS/Left Wing Radical DEMS/Elites see that their power taken away if Trump is elected. Perhaps all those who say they will leave the US, if Trump wins, will actually leave, perhaps to Russia?
OT– if we need any further indication of the character of today’s American “journalism”, consider this morning’s online edition of Fox News. In my opinion, among the networks and cable and large online news organizations, Fox is the best. If you look at today’s edition, there are approximately 50 stories with pictures. Of the 50 stories, 7 were about Taylor Swift, and 9 were about other non-news topics like the “new language” being spoken by influencers. Actually, this may say more about those of us who are news-consumers. Maybe we demand to know more about Taylor Swift than the border crisis or the Trump haters in Illinois working hard to remove him from the ballot.
@lawyer…
You have a slow news day where the two big stories are who’s going to play in the superbowl and the fact that 3 US Service members died and many others injured from a drone strike that got thru.
Or did you want to talk about the Farmer’s strike in France?

Did she get 51 national security experts to sign on?
