James Comey continues to hear disturbing messages from shells on the beach.
Comey is facing a public outcry over his posting of shells that he discovered on the beach saying “86 47,” a reference that some took as a threat against Trump. While I have stated that the posting would not establish a viable criminal case, Comey’s shell fetish seems to be having a decidedly harmful impact on the former FBI director. This is not the first time that shells have spontaneously appeared with political messages for Comey.
Back on October 10, 2024, Comey posted a painted shell that he said he found on the beach that read: “VOTE HARRIS” and told the public that “Ariel understands the assignment.”
If Comey is spending his retirement listening to his shells, it may be time for an intervention.
Some have suggested that Comey is merely using shells to convey political messages without taking the responsibility for creating the message. However, that would not fit the image of the man who promoted himself as the paragon of “ethical leadership” despite allegedly removing and leaking sensitive FBI information.
Seashells can be the undoing of many an innocent beachcomber. Some even hear conspiracies to steal the Declaration of Independence.
Yea right. Comey just happened by the shells in the sand. You can picture it now. Little James gets a big idea. He takes his little pale in hand and scours the beach for shells to complete his genius project. He says, I’ve got all I need to complete the job. He knells in the sand and with joy (Behar) in his heart he begins his message to the world. With a smile likened to that of John Wilkes Booth he places his shells of many colors into the appropriate order in the sand. He takes a picture of his handy work so as to gleefully share it with all the world. He exclaims, look mommy did you see what a pretty picture I have made. His mommy replies, “Yes little Jimmy, you are such a good boy. However you could have made it more simple if you’d just made your little shells say shoot him in the head.” Little Jimmy smiles his little Lee Harvey Oswald smile and fills his bucket with sand.
The uproar against tariffs on China is hilarious. Where was all the consternation when Biden continued tariffs put on China by the first Trump administration. Continuation of Trump-era Tariffs:
Many of the tariffs imposed by the Trump administration on Chinese goods remained in place under Biden, including those on steel, aluminum, and various other products.
The average US tariff on Chinese goods remained around 19%, applying to roughly two-thirds of imports from China, according to the Peterson Institute for International Economics. Tariffs good then Tariffs bad now. We saw the same Howler Monkeys when Trump wanted the NATO nations to pay more for their own defense. Never fear the Howler Monkeys are in no danger of extinction in the D.C. swamp or on this blog as represented by Dennis McIntyre, Anonymous, George and Sam. No wonder. They got the Hippocratic Oath mixed up with the oath of Hypocrisy. There in lies the downfall of their cognitive reasoning.
“Where was all the consternation when . . .”
Nice ad hominem.
“. . . the Howler Monkeys . . .”
And a second time.
“. . . on this blog as represented by . . . Sam”
And a smear my association. Congratulations. A trifecta of fallacies.
Try articulating an *argument*. Assuming that you know what one is.
Incidentally, as you know, I am against tariffs *on principle*. (China is a different case because it is a dictatorship who we should not trade with *at all*.)
And as you know, I was in favor of the EU’s NATO nations paying more for their own defense.
If you wish to have a fit and smear someone, try at least to get some of the facts right.
Sam it would be nice if all the nations played nice but they don’t. China is not the only nation that is using unfair trade tactics. South Korea was selling appliances to U.S. distributors at below the cost of production to drive out the competition. China has also used this dumping technic. I had a business in which I was doing well selling a product in The United Kingdom and then came the VAT taxes and my sales dropped to zero. What would you have us do to combat such practices. Pretty please with sugar on top ain’t gonna get it done. Your absolute no trade with China idea has no home in reality land. What are we supposed to do when other nations steal our innovation and make knock offs to sell in the U.S. here’s a fact that you’re not aware of. China gets fifty percent of their Ethane which is necessary in the production of plastic from the U.S. China lowered the tariffs on ethane to zero three weeks ago. I just thought I’d provide this information so you could get your facts straight. A well thought of American President once said, “Speak softly and carry a big stick.”
I thought he was spot on, Howler
“Some have suggested that Comey is merely using shells to convey political messages without taking the responsibility for creating the message.

**********************************
Yep, prestigous Willam & Mary Law School (his alma mater) even wanted him to teach a course on legal ethics. The irony is akin to Jeff Daumer teaching a cooking class.
Comey was always a smarmy guy even when supposedly “running” Project Exile here in Richmond. Alway to eager to take credit for other people’s work (ask the lawyers who worked there) he cruised right up the Military Industrialist Complex (MIC) ladder to become a millonaire and then the MIC’s sheriff. His interference running for Hilary is embarrasing in the ” extremely careless but not reckless (the legal standard for guilt)” ~33,000 email canard that we know now was politcially (i.e. fiancially) and White House driven. If he’s indicted and convicted I feel sorry for any inmates at the FCI he is assigned to attend. He would generally dilute the intergrity (such as it is) of the place.
Why not continue to pursue due diligence . . . and consider what Comey and Clinton have in common other than their last names beginning with the letter ‘ C ‘ .
They can’t stop defending him. Maureen Dowd writes lovingly and longingly of a man who does not exist today and likely never did.
The Tragedy of Joe Biden
MAUREEN DOWD
May 17, 2025
The denouement of Joe Biden is unbearably sad. The Irishman who could spend 45 minutes answering one question lost his gift of gab. The father who saw two of his children die and two spin into addiction wilted under the ongoing stress, especially when Hunter Biden — “my only living son,” as Joe called him — got tangled in the legal system. The gregarious pol, who loved chatting up lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, ended up barricaded in his Rehoboth, Del., house with Covid, furious at everyone, proclaiming his oldest friends disloyal naysayers. And, saddest of all, the man known for his decency, empathy, humility and patriotic spirit was poisoned by power, losing the ability to see that, in clinging to his office…
– NYT
Meanwhile James Comey and the DNC / MSM wish Donald Trump assassinated. What’s the “F” word they keep using? Ah yes, “Fascists”. Maureen Dowd, James Comey and Democrats certainly are that.
Sorry Ms. Dowd,……. “the man known for his decency, empathy, humility and patriotic spirit” is utter hallucinations. It’s more like 50 years of narcissistic arrogance, with a total lack of conscience or moral fiber. Joe Biden has lied his way through life, while dancing around his racism and complete lack of patriotism. What a POS.
For years I considered Maureen Dowd a liar. I read one of her articles and then went to the source. She changed the context by removing part of the quote using ellipsis. The quote in context was the opposite of what she wanted people to believe.
Why do they do that? Defend Biden? Because Republicans hate it.
The law isn’t to be twisted for you nor twisted against you. It is the law. If Biden committed crimes with evidence , charge him rightly having nothing to do with hate.
They do that because they are fascists, as Estovir stated. Your reading comprehension is as poor as Joseph Buydum
Turley and his minions don’t require evidence, just rumor and slander is enough.
Biden has been a parasite on the once-free American political theory. Biden didn’t “serve” for 50 years; he ripped off taxpayers for 50 years. Officials were intended to be elected to “serve” during a brief sabbatical from one’s free enterprise. Government was intended to be infinitesimal. Individuals were intended to be maximally free. The communists have turned the theory around and made individuals enslaved to the tax man and grown government to its gargantuan size, appetite, and debt; it will probably expire soon from its own weight, girth, and fiscal debauchery.
A SPECIAL COUNSEL for the investigation of James Comey must be appointed forthwith.
Comey typifies all that is deceitful, corrupt and sinister about the Deep State infecting the Beltway.
VVVV Red Herring VVVV
Can you explain?
Jonathan: Well, the dirty secret is out. The largest retailer in the country has declared that DJT’s insane tariffs are forcing it to raise prices for its customers. Walmart has told its customers what everybody knows. Tariffs are a tax on consumers. This sent DJT into a tailspin. He posted this on Truth Social yesterday:
“Walmart should STOP trying to blame Tariffs as the reason for raising prices throughout the chain. Walmart made BILLIONS OF DOLLARS last year, far more than expected. Between Walmart and China they should, as is said, EAT THE TARIFFS and not charge valued customers ANYTHING”.
Walmart is not Jeff Bezos and Amazon. Walmart is up front with their customers. DJT is living in la la land if he expects companies to absorb the cost of his tariffs. They won’t “EAT THE TARIFFS” because they don’t have a death wish. But, of course, DJT always blames others for his own missteps and miscalculations. That has always been his MO!
^^^^ Red Herring ^^^^
Some one much smarter than you,
“Let’s just keep everything consistent. I did speak to Doug McMillon, who I have a very good relationship [with] yesterday, just to understand what he had to say. And, you know, understand: That came from an earnings call. On an earnings call, because of SEC requirements, they have to give the most draconian case. So Walmart will be absorbing some of the tariffs. Some may get passed on to consumers.”
— Scott Bessent
“So Walmart will be absorbing some of the tariffs.”
Whether tariffs tax consumers or companies, they are still government confiscation of wealth.
“they are still government confiscation of wealth.”
So are taxes. The tariffs are paid by the China government, Chinese industry, American companies, and the American purchasers of goods.
Someone much smarter than you,
“The other thing that’s happening is that inflation is down. We had the first drop in inflation in four years under President Trump. The other thing that Doug mentioned to me is for his consumers, for his buyers, the most important thing are gasoline prices. And this administration has gotten gasoline prices down; service prices are down. So, overall, I would expect inflation to remain in line. But I don’t blame consumers for being skittish after what happened to them four years under Biden — we had the worst inflation in 40 years.”
— Scott Bessent
Price gouging
No such thing.
Only the owner of a private-property private enterprise has the power to “claim and exercise” dominion, including setting prices.
If you don’t approve, you are free to compete by offering lower prices from your business.
“The other thing that’s happening is that inflation is down.”
That, and lower gas prices, is pure deflection and (as Bessent should know) deceiving. The obvious question is: How much *lower* would inflation be if it were not for Trump’s confiscatory tariffs?
You know how you can avoid paying the cost of tariffs? Buy American made products. Support American workers.
Per a report from CBS News’ Megan Cerullo dated April 30, this is a partial list of companies that have announced plans to expand production in the U.S. since Trump won re-election and began tariff negotiations:
Abbott Laboratories – $500 million investment
Apple – $500 BILLION
Chobani – $1.2 billion
Cra-Z-Art – said in March it planned to increase U.S. production capacity by 50%, “to combat the cost of tariffs for imported goods from China and other countries.”
Johnson & Johnson – $55 billion
Honda Motor – moving production of its Civic Hybrid Hatchback from Japan to the U.S., in the face of a barrage of tariffs by the Trump administration, including a 25% tariff on vehicles and auto parts imported into the U.S.
Hyundai Motor Company – $21 billion
IBM – $150 billion
Merck – $1 billion
Nvidia – American chip maker Nvidia announced that for this first time in the company’s history, it will be manufacturing chips and AI supercomputers in the U.S., including building a new one million square feet manufacturing space.
Roche – $50 billion
TSMC – $165 billion

According to Rasmussen, 32% of America hating Democrats want China to win the trade war. Are you among them?

James Comey perpetuates the Obama Coup D’état in America by allegedly inciting to assassinate the president.
Obama’s third term ends when the Obama-run Biden administration is voted out.
Obama’s fourth term is now impossible.

Well, you do know who that is, right?
Know who?
This was a P.R. stunt.
He has a new book out. He had fallen off the front pages. And he has a history of seeking the spotlight inappropriately, for example, when he assumed the AG’s role in announcing non-charges against Hillary Clinton. (And at that time, we all were paying attention. That was before we appreciated that the fix was in at the DOJ.)
He has an unlawyerly temperament. I’m glad he is no longer employed by our government. Which is not to say that he can’t still hurt our country. His recent conduct is just one example of how.
The P.R. stunt is the ruse.
This is incitement to action of random public actors under the cover of a “P.R. stunt.”
Comey said “Ariel understands the assignment.” Excuse my ignorance, but who or what is Ariel?
Ariel is the main character in Disney’s movie, The Little Mermaid
Just what is “cool” about “8647”?
Comey is showing his political bias.
Comey is a thug. His game is most likely murder.
This is a death threat, plain and simple.
Compare the handwriting with the shell which says, “Vote Harris”, with Comey’s to establish a pattern of conduct.
This is not an election campaign slogan; the election ended on November 5, 2024.
This is not a threat of legal action; there are no charges.
This is an act to incite kinetic action to “remove” a president that is neither electoral nor legal.
To hear the evil Dems did listen to the xobgressional testimony of JJ Carrell

Is dementia contagious among beach going democrats?
Aren’t we all sick of the Dems?! Their leadership has been proved to be corrupt but yet, nothing is done to them. Their new ‘leaders’ are lacking in clear thinking except for contempt for the laws that govern our country. God help the stupid ones who actually listen to them — and vote them into their positions of power. Just amazing how truly many non-thinkers we have running around following the lead of the Dems!
It’s truly amazing that even in a search of “86’d” they mostly try to attribute it to some NYC bar slang. SMDH What it originally meant, and still does, is MURDER! As in the bad ole Mob days of Vegas: “take the victim out of town 8 miles, and plant them 6 foot under”
You have to be concerned that Comey, Schiff, Strozk, Page, Hillary, Biden et al will face no justice, ever!
Someone tell me how can Americans/America protect themselves from these people? Lies, deception and tax payer fraud, threats you would expect from Americas enemies not from so called protectors of the republic.
