“Get Ready for a Ride with Evidence Coming Out on CIA!” – George Papadopoulos Points to Downer and Mifsud as “Next Clowns to be Exposed”

Acting DNI Richard Grenell declassified the list of Obama officials involved in the unmasking of General Mike Flynn in his conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.

CBS reporter Catherine Herridge obtained the list of Obama operatives who unmasked General Flynn.

Names include former CIA Director John Brennan, Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power and former DNI chief James Clapper.

Via Catherine Herridge:

Grenell was seen delivering a satchel of documents to the DOJ last week and according to ABC, he also discussed the list of Obama officials involved in unmasking Flynn.

Former Vice President Joe Biden unmasked General Flynn on January 12, 2017.

And Barack Obama’s Chief of Staff Denis McDonough unmasked Flynn on January 5, 2017!

Former Trump Campaign adviser George Papadopoulos reacted to this shocking news today.

For months and months Papadopoulos has accused Italian officials in participating in the Trump collusion scam.

Papadopoulos is certain the Italians were working with the Obama CIA to set him up in 2016.

Today former US Ambassador to Italy and the Republic of San Marino John R. Phillips was included on the list of unmaskers.

George Papadopoulos added a string of tweets on the scandal and what to expect.

There is much more to come.

CFPB ‘Whistleblower’ Is Disgruntled Warren Donor

The New York Times recently obtained a "blunt memo" circulated by a departing "career economist" at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) alleging questionable "maneuvers" by Trump-appointed officials. The Times report on the memo does not discuss the apparent ideological motivations of the memo’s author.

Jonathan Lanning, currently employed by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, sent the memo in question to a select group of colleagues on his last day of work at the CFPB before quitting in August 2019. The memo is chiefly concerned with the Trump administration’s efforts to change an Obama-era rule imposing tight restrictions on the payday lending industry.

The fact that the Times was able to "obtain" an original copy of the memo from a "current bureau employee," days before the agency was expected to unveil its proposed revisions to the payday lending rule, was certainly a timely development. It would be absurd to suggest the memo’s release was part of a coordinated effort by Trump administration critics, some of whom are preparing to sue the CFPB as soon as the revised rule is announced.

Lanning told the Times his intent in writing the memo was simply to inform new staff members of the "history and process" behind the rule revision and declined to comment further. The memo itself, however, includes numerous references to the potential "legal risk" the Trump appointees were incurring by refusing to respect Lanning’s expertise.

The "concerns" outlined in Lanning’s memo regarding the behavior of Trump-appointed officials include a lack of "direct communication/discussions," "citing out of context sentences from articles," and a "general lack of appreciation for staff expertise."

The report does not mention, however, that Lanning helped write the CFPB research paper used to justify the original rule under the Obama administration. The Times also neglects to note that Lanning has given money to several Democratic candidates in 2020, including chief CFPB booster Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.).

Lanning’s political affiliations are further evidenced by his participation in numerous ex parte meetings with liberal advocacy groups such as Americans for Financial Reform, the Center for American Progress, and the Center for Responsible Lending (CRL).

CRL was intimately involved in drafting the original payday lending rule, according to a Politico report published in 2015. At the same time, CRL was urging the Obama administration to support a small-dollar loan program run by CRL’s own financial services arm, the Self-Help Credit Union, as an alternative to payday lending.

One of the original recipients of Lanning’s memo, former CFPB associate director David Silberman, resigned from the agency in February to become a senior adviser to CRL.

By contrast, the Times‘ initial report on Tara Reade’s allegation of sexual assault against former vice president Joe Biden contains several paragraphs detailing Reade’s support for Biden’s opponents in the Democratic primary. It also included comments Reade had made in praise of Russian president Vladimir Putin.

Donald Trump Celebrates ‘Two Great Congressional WINS’ in Wisconsin and California

President Donald Trump celebrated Wednesday after Republican victories overnight in special elections in California and Wisconsin.

“Big Congressional win in California for Mike Garcia, taking back a seat from the Democrats,” Trump wrote. “This is the first time in many years that a California Dem seat has flipped back to a Republican.”

Garcia defeated Democrat candidate Christy Smith by 12 points in the special election for the seat previously held by Democrat Rep. Katie Hill who resigned in disgrace in October 2019.

In Wisconsin, Republican Tom Tiffany easily beat Democrat Tricia Zunker by 15 points for the seat vacated by Rep. Sean Duffy (R-WI).

“Tom Tiffany beat his Democrat rival BIG in Wisconsin,” Trump wrote. “Two great Congressional WINS!”

Trump endorsed both candidates.

WA Governor To Residents: COVID-Test-Deniers Will Not Be Allowed To Leave Home To Get Groceries

WA Governor To Residents: COVID-Test-Deniers Will Not Be Allowed To Leave Home To Get Groceries

At his May 12 press conference, Washington State Governor Jay Inslee laid out the plans for the statewide contact tracing initiative.

“[The initiative] is robust, it is vigorous and it is comprehensive, and it needs to be all three to be successful,” Inslee said.

“If we do not succeed in this second stage of our efforts, this virus could come bright back and bite us.”

As LynnwoodTimes.com’s Luke Putvin notes, the information Inslee provided was labeled as “Contact Tracing: Box in The Virus.” The steps were listed as follows:

Contact tracing involves interviewing people with positive COVID-19 tests to identify who they’ve been in contact with, getting those people tested and then making sure they isolate themselves and their families.

As the press conference went on, one question kept coming up – what about enforcement? How will you ensure Washington State residents comply and what if they don’t?

The answer is as scary as many have worried about. As Putvin reports, for those businesses/individuals that don’t comply, the governor stated that he confirmed with Attorney General Bob Ferguson, there will be sanctions in civil or crimal court.

At timestamp 38:55 in the video of the press conference below, one reporter asked:

“When it comes to contact tracing, how are you guys going to handle people or families who want to refuse to test or to self isolate?

If they want to leave their home to get groceries I know you’ve said they can’t do that; how will you make sure they don’t?“

Below is Jay Inslee’s response:

“We will have attached to the families a family support person who will check in with them to see what they need on a daily basis… and help them. If they can’t get a friend to do their grocery shopping, we will help get them groceries in some fashion. If they need pharmaceuticals to be picked up, we will make sure they get their pharmaceuticals… That’s going to help encourage them to maintain their isolation too.

“As far as refusal, it just shouldn’t come to that, and it really hasn’t. We’ve had really good success when we ask people to isolate, and they’ve done so in really high percentages, so we’re happy about that, and we believe that will continue.”

Therefore, those individuals that refuse to cooperate with contact tracers and/or refuse testing will not be allowed to leave their homes to purchase basic necessities such as groceries and/or prescriptions.

Those persons will need to make arrangements through friends, family, or a state provided “family support personnel.”

The question, of course, is – how long before this "mandated" testing (or starve) will be re-upped to "mandated" vaccination (or starve)?

Gretchen Whitmer Targets 77-Year-Old Barber’s Livelihood, Strips Operating License ‘Without a Hearing’

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is waging an increasingly high-profile battle against an elderly barber, and he appears to be winning in both the courts of law and public opinion.

Karl Manke, a 77-year-old from Owosso, reopened his shop after he was turned down for unemployment.

Amid the legal threats from Whitmer’s administration, he recently responded, “What, are they going to give me? Life? I’ve got one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel. I could care less.”

“As long as I have two hands and I’m capable of cutting hair, that’s my occupation,” Manke said. “That’s what I do. That’s what I’m going to continue to do.”

Manke addressed supporters outside his shop on Monday.

“I’d gone six weeks without a paycheck with no money coming in. I’ve been in this business 59 years…I’m 77. I’ve always worked,” he said.

“I’ve never looked for handouts. I don’t even know what they are. I had somebody call me and say why don’t you get on food stamps. I don’t want to get on food stamps. I want to work.”

“I came into this last Monday alone, thinking I’m going to swing in the wind alone,” he said. “I cannot believe the support that I’ve got,” he added to cheers, with some responding, “You are not alone!”

“It’s overwhelming,” he added, getting choked up.

Another day, Manke made it clear he was going to defy Whitmer’s orders.

He told radio host Steve Gruber he will only leave his shop “if they drag me out in the street or Jesus comes.”

Manke’s levity is a striking contrast to Whitmer’s attempts to appear tough.

When asked specifically about Manke defying her edicts, Whitmer responded, “I expect people to follow the law. These executive orders are not a suggestion. They’re not optional. They’re not helpful hints.”

Despite failing to obtain a restraining order against the barber on Monday, Whitmer’s administration is continuing to pursue him in court.

The AG said:

The Attorney General’s court action, filed on behalf of MDHHS, seeks to enforce the MDHHS Director’s Public Health Order that deemed Mr. Manke’s business an imminent danger to public health in light of the COVID 19 pandemic and directs him to immediately cease operations at his barbershop. The State is seeking to schedule a hearing as soon as possible.

The AG asserted Manke’s open business presents “clear public health dangers.”

After the close of business on Tuesday, Whitmer’s administration stripped Manke of his operating license, his attorney said.

“Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs has suspended Karl’s license,” attorney David Kallman told radio host Steve Gruber.

“Not thinking about it, they’ve actually done it without a hearing, without any due process,” he added, saying the action took place some time after 5:00 p.m.

“It’s an unbelievable abuse of power,” Kallman said, arguing there’s no legal basis for the action.

“This is pure retribution by the governor’s office and by the AG. This is so petty and vindictive, it’s beyond the pale,” he told Gruber.

According Kallman, the AG claimed one of the reasons for the license suspension was because Manke was violating the temporary restraining order–which was never granted.

Rand Paul: Biden ‘Caught Red-Handed’ Using Govt. Spy Powers Against ‘Political Opponent’

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) reacted Wednesday to former Vice President Joe Biden being one of several top Obama officials who may have received intelligence from unmasking requests targeting former Trump national security advisor Mike Flynn — according to newly-declassified documents by acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell — stating that the presumptive Democrat nominee was “caught red-handed” using U.S. spy powers to “go after a political opponent.”

A transcript is as follows:

REPORTER: If this happens to a current president, this would be an impeachable offense, if not a criminal offense.

SEN. RAND PAUL: Can you imagine? Yeah.

REPORTER: Would you like there to be criminal charges brought against them?

SEN. PAUL: I think we need to get to the bottom of this, and I think the first thing is to interview, under oath, [Acting] Director of National Intelligence [Grenell] and get to the bottom of what goes on with unmasking. How unusual is this that the entire upper echelon — individually it wasn’t just one request for this, there were dozens of requests. Almost everyone in President Obama’s top circle wanted to see this and wanted to listen to this conversation.

But this is troubling. This isn’t about national security, this is about eavesdropping on your opponent and eavesdropping on the new president’s top advisor. This is very, very troubling. This was being led by at least by Vice President Biden, if not [President Obama], and we need to get to the bottom of it to make sure it never happens again. For the average American, they’re worried that this could happen to a top general like Flynn, but could you imagine this power being unharnessed on an ordinary American? How would we defend ourselves?

REPORTER #2: What was the most likely scenario? That there was an intercepted call, the transcript was then circulated among senior staff and then the various senior staff requested to know who was on the call? What is the most likely scenario as to why these names are on the list?

SEN. PAUL: I think it’s an important question. The way I read it, is it looks like each of these administration officials actually individually requested to listen to this conversation. It was like, well, someone says, “why don’t we have someone go listen to this and send the transcript around.” It sounds like each of these people individually did. These rumors have been going around for years that President Obama’s administration was abusing this power of unmaking, and this sounds like these were abusing it to go after a political opponent, which I think is a very serious offense and should be investigated — and the fact that Vice President Biden is directly involved with unmasking a political opponent. Think about it. Remember we went through this thing called impeachment? They said President Trump was using the government to go after a political opponent? This is Vice President Biden using the spying powers of the United States to go after a political opponent. He’s caught red-handed here.

Joe Biden’s Binder Full of Babes

Former vice president Joe Biden has a colorful take on the process of choosing a running mate, according to a New York Times report published this week:

In private encounters before this campaign, Mr. Biden has likened running-mate evaluation to deciding among calendar models, with three broad categories (and outdated honorifics): Contenders can be a "Mr. August" (a shot of momentum in the summer), a "Mr. October" (a reliable and effective campaigner for the fall) or a "Mr. January" (a governing partner, politics notwithstanding).

Biden’s comparison of the VP selection process to choosing the hottest male model in a calendar is totally normal. It just seems a bit strange now that he’s been bullied into choosing a female running mate. With the help of former senator and notorious creep Chris Dodd, Biden’s campaign has been assembling a binder full of women to choose between.

Unfortunately, a collection of Biden’s potential female running mates probably wouldn’t be as sexy as the calendar the presumptive nominee had in mind—notwithstanding the raw appeal of Stacey Abrams. But there are more than enough "Biden babes"—women whose lives the former VP has touched over the years—to stuff into a calendar and proudly display on our walls, as illustrated below. Enjoy!

Stephanie Carter (Ash’s Wife)

Jane Doe (John’s Wife)

Maggie Coons (Senator’s Daughter)

Tara Reid (The Other One)

Anita Dunn (Campaign Official, Harvey Weinstein Adviser) 

Clara Bow (Silent Film Actress)

Lunden Alexis Roberts (Hunter’s Baby Mama, Arkansas)
