So, we’ve been told by the establishment media that the only reason President Donald Trump wanted to investigate the strange and sordid history of Ukrainian corruption is because he wanted dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden.

Radio host Rush Limbaugh has another theory, though — he thinks the president is looking for the genesis of the Mueller investigation.

Confused? Well, according to the conservative talk icon, the giveaway is the fact that Trump mentioned a company called CrowdStrike during the call.

CrowdStrike, for those of you who have forgotten the Democratic National Committee email hack, was the private cybersecurity firm that the DNC brought in to evaluate its servers after the hack. They’re the ones who determined that the hack came from Russia.

During the call, Trump spent a fair chunk of time talking about the firm.

“I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say CrowdStrike … I guess you have one of your wealthy people … The server, they say Ukraine has it,” Trump said, according to the transcript.

“I would like to have the attorney general call you or your people and I would like you to get to the bottom of it. As you saw yesterday, that whole nonsense ended with a very poor performance by a man named Robert Mueller, an incompetent performance, but they say a lot of it started with Ukraine.”

That, to Rush, was a tipoff that Trump’s talk with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wasn’t necessarily Biden-centric. As he pointed out, when it came to the DNC hack, “everybody has just assumed that the Russians were the guilty party only because the firm hired by the Democrats [CrowdStrike] said so.”

“But CrowdStrike is alleged to have gotten something big wrong about Ukraine,” the radio host said on his show Wednesday, according to t0 a transcript on RushLimbaugh.com.

“CrowdStrike accused Russia of hacking a Ukrainian artillery app resulting in heavy losses, even though Ukraine has no incentive to help Russia, which is attacking them. Ukraine said it never happened. And yet CrowdStrike was asserting that Russia hacked a Ukrainian artillery app.”

Limbaugh cited National Review’s Andrew C. McCarthy on the matter: “CrowdStrike widely believed to have been wrong in a controversial 2016 judgment, when it claimed that Russian operatives hacked a Ukrainian artillery app, resulting in heavy losses of howitzers in combat against separatists used by Moscow,” McCarthy wrote in “Ball of Collusion.”

“CrowdStrike withdrew its report and admitted that it was wrong,” Limbaugh said of the Ukrainian artillery app hack.

“Now, this, whether it sounds like it or not, don’t doubt me, this is highly relevant to this entire Russian collusion story, which is why Trump was asking about it and why the Democrats don’t want the Ukrainians to reinvestigate it.”

“That’s a pretty big thing to be wrong about, and the only reason to point it out is, OK, if they’re wrong about that, what if the Democrat National Committee server was not hacked?” Limbaugh asked.

“Do you realize how convenient it was for them to be able to say that Russia hacked their server and then link Trump to Russia? The FBI never assumed that because they never got to investigate it. So the presence of CrowdStrike, Trump asking the president of Ukraine to look into CrowdStrike as well as Biden and his son.”

Limbaugh also noted that there’d been almost no coverage of the CrowdStrike mention in the media — and that the Democrats were staying quiet about it, as well.

“I haven’t seen a single report focus on CrowdStrike in this transcript,” Limbaugh said.

“Now, I know why the Democrats are ignoring it. The Democrats are bent out of shape that Trump even knows about CrowdStrike. They think Trump’s an idiot. With Trump specifically zeroing in on CrowdStrike the Democrats have learned today, after reading that transcript, what Trump is really doing here.”

He would go on to say that Trump’s discussion of the firm, “mark my words, is momentous in this transcript today.”

“I know damn well the whistleblower didn’t tell the Democrats about that or they would have a different strategy laid out for this. Because another thing — don’t doubt me on this — what this really means, folks, is that Trump — he was asking for assistance on Biden, but it’s all related. What Trump actually was asking the president of Ukraine to do was to help the attorney general.”

“There’s no question in my mind now what this is. Trump is gonna get to the bottom of the origins of the Mueller investigation. He’s gonna get to the bottom of the origins of this coup that was run against him come hell or high water and he was asking the president of Ukraine for assistance today, and part of that is illustrating and proving the vile corruption of Joe Biden, which is monumental.”

Is this about getting to the bottom of the genesis of the Mueller report?

It’s certainly a jump. However, Limbaugh isn’t inaccurate when he points out how silent the media’s been on the issue of CrowdStrike. Given the fact that Trump mentioned it, there’s likely more to come from that direction, too.

Sometimes, the best statement of the obvious comes from the most unexpected corner.

So with the impeachment frenzy, who should step in and state how this all looks to ordinary schmoes but lefty grandstanding commentator Geraldo Rivera himself?

According to the transcript (emphasis mine) on RealClearPolitics – and this Fox News video here:

GERALDO RIVERA (FOX NEWS CORRESPONDENT): After listening to the Democrats, they believe that they have it now.

That everything else, Russia collusion, Stormy Daniels, taxes, making money on hotels, and all that. They are going to put everything away and they are going to laser focus on this. This is gonna be what the impeachment is all about, maybe one or two little other things fall in.

So it’s going to be the president of the United States in a conversation that was intercepted by a rotten snitch — I’d love to wap him, but that’s another story.

Imagine this poor president, his whole tenure in office has been marked by snitches, and rats, and backstabbers, it’s amazing how he functions at all.

Even if Rivera is left-wing, that’s a classic working class way of reading what people must be thinking, noting how the president is constantly surrounded by a nest of snakes, people who are otherwise known as the swamp. From Omarosa Manigault to this new deep state whistleblower, the snakes hiss from all sides.

Rivera knows Trump from his reality TV days, and probably doesn’t see Trump as a monster the way the left does, he probably sees an actual person, which might explain his statement.

What’s more, in the boroughs of New York City, which Rivera seems to be in tune with, it can’t help but go unnoticed that one sneaky pete after another comes up with a new stunt to take down Trump, always through some kind of outrageous betrayal that wouldn’t be tolerated in some place like Howard Beach.

Rivera commiserates, as any normal person would, his first thought to imagine what it would be like if everyone around you was a smiling, perfumed, pompadoured two-faced creep out to destroy you. 

It’s disgusting. It’s inhuman. And yes, it’s what Trump has to deal with.

People are going to relate to that Geraldo picture, because he’s states what a lot of people are secretly thinking — and that might just bring some of them otherwise caught up in the feeding frenzy reading impeachment news back to earth.

The facts on the ground are that President Trump is sitting there in a snake pit for us and taking the most incredible venomous attacks, even as he serves as the greatest president of our lifetime. No other president has had to deal with working conditions that appalling from a determined an embittered group of spiraling-crazy haters.

One hopes Rivera gets his chance to deck one of them one of these days as he hopes he does. Woikin’ class people don’t like sleazy snitches. Plenty of Americans in that set and well beyond would applaud.

After a woman’s tire blew in Ogden, Utah, an unlikely good Samaritan lent her a hand — a homeless man named Chuck.

The owners of the coffee shop across the street witnessed the heartwarming exchange and posted it on Facebook as a reminder that “those people” don’t deserve the labels so easily cast upon them.

Anna Davidson beamed as she watched Chuck go out of his way to help the woman with her tire and was so moved that she felt obligated to share the moment with others.

Davidson knows Chuck because he often works at her and her husband’s coffee shop, Jessie Jean’s. Ron and Anna Davidson allow him to do work around the shop to earn his next meal, according to KSTU.

Chuck has been in and out of prison from early on in his life, but now, at 56, he is on a new path.

He largely credits Ron and Anna Davidson for helping him start out on that new path.

“I wouldn’t be right here, right now, talking to you, if wasn’t for them two,” he said through tears.

The Davidson’s investment in Chuck is surely making a difference based on the kind act Anna witnessed on Sept. 23.

“Looked out the window to see this happening. This is Chuck,” Anna wrote on Jessie Jean’s Facebook page. “He’s homeless and works his a– off helping every day in the cafe.”

“This is ‘one of those people’ that get labeled. Ya know the ones everyone wants outta sight, outta mind,” she continued.

“I didn’t see anyone else out helping this young lady, just Chuck.”

Anna told KSTU she hoped the moment would help others see the person behind the judgmental labels that are often too quickly thrown on homeless people.

“I just wanted them to put a face to who they are judging,” she said. “Like, ‘Hey, here you go, that’s one of those folks you want us to hide away somewhere where we can’t see them.’”

Helping those in need is a regular rhythm; the Davidsons feed about 20 homeless people thanks to “pay it forward meals” each week.

For only $6.25, other patrons can buy a meal for someone else who needs it.

Ron is especially passionate about helping those in need because he has experienced that hardship himself. According to KSTU, he was homeless for two years.

“I know what it’s like to be out there when it’s cold, I know what it’s like to be out there when it’s hot, I know what it’s like to be out there hungry,” he said.

Anna’s post has since gained the attention of thousands on social media, but she hopes that those people will think the next time they pass judgment on a homeless person.

“We need to look at each person’s story one by one and start seeing people for who they are, people,” she said.

There has been no shortage of tough talk from prominent Democrats on the topic of impeachment following House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s decision to officially characterize the existing congressional investigations against President Donald Trump as part of a formal impeachment probe.

From 2020 Democratic presidential primary candidates to longtime congressmen — from moderately bipartisan Democrats like former Vice President Joe Biden to the radical progressive members of “the squad” — it was made clear this week that impeachment had become the unanimous party line.

The only difference is that, unlike Rep. Rashida “Impeach the Motherf—–!” Tlaib of Michigan and her band of freshman impeachment zealots, a great many of these tough-talking impeachment supporters have not been long for the cause.

In fact, some were singing exactly the opposite tune just a few presidential administrations ago, when former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and his impassioned Republican revolutionaries sought to impeach then-Democratic President Bill Clinton.

House Judiciary Chairman Nadler, for example, has spent a significant amount of time pressuring Pelosi to pursue the unpopular measure — even as the Russian collusion narrative fizzled out entirely with the release of former special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.

“Personally, I think the president ought to be impeached,” Nadler said less than two weeks ago, according to Politico, around the time that Pelosi declared in a closed-door meeting the party lacked the votes for impeachment.

“This is formal impeachment proceedings,” Nadler told CNN in August. “We are investigating all the evidence, we’re gathering the evidence.”

“We will at the conclusion of this — hopefully by the end of the year — vote to vote articles of impeachment to the House floor,” he added.

But a much different side of Nadler can be seen in a 1998 video showcasing the New York Democrat’s feelings toward the impeachment push against Clinton, who had lied under oath about a sexual affair with a White House intern.

At that time, Nadler saw impeachment as a partisan process — the “undoing” of a duly elected president for purely political reasons.

“An impeachment of a president is an undoing of a national election,” Nadler at an anti-impeachment rally in 1998.

“And one of the reasons we all feel so angry about what they are doing is that they are ripping … asunder our votes,” he said. “They are telling us our votes don’t count and that the election must be set aside.”

Of course, now the impeachment of a duly elected president is simply justice at work and nothing more — at least that’s how Nadler sees it.

And Nadler is far from the only Democrat to have flip-flopped so strongly on the issue of impeachment.

Biden, though not so staunch in his support for the measure in recent weeks, was set firmly in opposition to it as a senator during the Clinton administration.

“The American people don’t think that they have made a mistake by electing Bill Clinton,” Biden said in 1998.

“And we in Congress had better be very careful before we upset their decision, and make darn sure that we are able to convince them if we decide to upset their decision that our decision to impeach him was based upon principle and not politics.”

The same standard is less of a concern for the Delaware Democrat these days as his fellow partisans seek to unseat Trump — a man who won the office of the president by promising to raze the works of the administration in which Biden was vice president.

Still, let’s give Biden a break. He can’t seem to remember where he is or who the last president was half the time anyway.

As for Nadler and the rest, however — they’ve shown themselves to be nothing more than partisan hacks.

Nadler and his ilk lack any semblance of honor, decency or respect for the United States Constitution.

Having used it as a shield to defend their man in 1998, they would seek to burn it for an opportunity to unseat a president they disagree with today.

Five years ago, the death of Michael Brown inspired the “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” line.

That’s because witnesses had claimed Brown, who was shot and killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, put his hands up and told police not to shoot.

All over America, the slogan and gesture became emblematic not only of the Black Lives Matter movement but of a burgeoning left-wing indictment of law enforcement as systematically biased against and violent toward young black men.

There was one problem, though: It was all complete fiction. Michael Brown had done nothing of the sort.

Instead, he’d attacked a police officer. That’s how he ended up dead — not because of prejudice or improper use of force.

Five years later, activists haven’t learned a whole lot. In St. Paul, Minnesota, protesters organized by a number of groups — including the local Black Lives Matter chapter — are protesting the death of a 31-year-old man who was killed by police Sept. 15.

Was he unarmed? Well, no, he had a knife on him. In fact, body camera video shows he charged at the officer who shot him. He was given repeated warnings to drop the knife.

And, after all that, he ended up dead.

Protesters, meanwhile, want “justice.”

“Dozens of people marched Sunday evening from a St. Paul police station to the spot where a Little Canada man was shot and killed by an officer last week, where they spoke against police violence at a candlelight vigil,” the Twin Cities Pioneer Press reported Sunday.

The event was organized by a number of groups including Black Lives Matter Twin Cities Metro, Communities United Against Police Brutality, Twin Cities Coalition for Justice 4 Jamar, Justice4MarcusGolden and Justice for Justine Damond Ruszczyk.

“Ronald Davis, 31, was fatally shot by Officer Steven Mattson last Sunday during an encounter at Thomas Avenue and Griggs Street,” the newspaper reported.

“Davis rear-ended Mattson‘s squad car when the officer was stopped at a stop sign, according to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, the agency conducting the investigation,” the story continued. “Both men exited their vehicles, and Davis brandished a knife and ignored repeated commands to drop it, the BCA said in a statement. During the confrontation, Mattson fatally shot Davis.”

Even though the officer’s body camera footage was to be released later that week, protesters still weren’t going to wait for the facts to lambaste law enforcement over the shooting.

“Enough is enough,” activist and civil rights attorney Nekima Levy Armstrong said at the event.

“This man should still be alive,” she added. “I don’t care what happened in that car situation.”

Perhaps she should care. When the body camera footage was released on Tuesday, it showed that Davis was clearly intent on attacking Mattson and presented a clear and imminent threat to the officer’s life.

“As soon as Mattson exited the vehicle, Davis can be seen charging straight at him with what police identified a knife in his hand,” NBC News reported Tuesday.

“Mattson immediately moved back as the 31-year-old man continued to swipe at him with the knife, and at one point Mattson fell to the ground.”

In the video, Mattson can be heard repeatedly warning Davis to ditch the weapon: “Drop the knife. Drop the f—ing knife,” he says.

The body camera footage can be see below.

The Saint Paul Police Department released bodycam footage which showed one of its officers fatally shooting a man who confronted him with a knife on September 15th.

St. Paul Police Chief Todd Axtell said Mattson had “no choice but to defend himself.”

“While I recognize the trauma that has been caused by a history of policing practices throughout our country, that have disproportionately affected communities of color, I cannot stand by — I simply can’t sleep at night — knowing that a good officer and all of our officers are being assailed by people who simply do not have the facts,” Axtell told reporters.

“I look forward to moving forward together with our entire community and in good faith to achieve the outcomes that we all desire.”

The problem is that only works if the entire community is grounded in reality.

KARE reported during the protest that several of the protesters didn’t even believe that Davis had a knife. This was before the body camera footage was released, but that still shows a remarkable amount of credulousness by activists who simply didn’t want to acknowledge the facts.

But that’s how it always is with activists’ narratives regarding police shootings.

If the facts don’t fit, they don’t exist at all. Davis wasn’t a threat. He may not have even had a knife. Hands up, don’t shoot. The fallacies, as always, will live on even after the facts have come out.

The Pioneer Press’ article shows one of the signs at the rally: “Delay of justice is justice delayed.”

Nope. Davis got his justice on Sept. 15.

He attacked a police officer with a deadly weapon and ended up dead. That’s what happens when you do that.

When activists cover for people who are killed after violently attacking police, they’re teaching everyone the wrong lesson.

Nobody wants to see someone end up dead.

However, all of the narrative-building in the world can’t change the fact that Ronald Davis was the sole author of his own demise.

Around 50 illegal migrants have set up a makeshift camp in Rome’s Colle Oppio park, only steps away from the iconic Roman Colosseum.

The camp, which is said to resemble a favela, contains illegal migrants primarily from Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, with some even staying in archaeological sites, such as the ruins of the Domus Aurea villa of the infamous Roman Emperor Nero, Il Giornale reports.

The paper spoke to a migrant from Mali named Ibrahim, who claimed that around 50 migrants reside in the park in total and that he was angry and would prefer to return to his home country.

Another migrant, a Pakistani, told the paper that other migrants “rob me all the time” and showed off his sharpened screwdriver saying: “I swear that if they try again I will kill someone.”

While the park is incredibly close to one of Rome’s main tourist areas, it has been plagued for years by homelessness and criminality.

Only two years ago, an American tourist was sexually attacked by a migrant from Africa who initially asked her for a cigarette and then proceeded to try and drag her into a nearby bush.

Valentina Salerno of the Citizens’ Committee of Colle Oppio expressed concern that such incidents could reoccur saying, “Many people are mentally ill from the psychiatric point of view, because of their difficult past, for the conditions they find here, and for how they are forced to live.”

The area is not the only part of Rome that has become a hub for illegal migrant criminal activity.

The city’s main railway station Termini is also known as a hotspot for illegal migrants, with a Moroccan man arrested in the area in April of this year for stabbing a homeless man because he was wearing a crucifix necklace.

Only months before, two illegals from Egypt were arrested in the same area after they brutally beat up and tried to rob a woman in her 60s.
