Yesterday I reported at Breitbart News that John O. Brennan, the former CIA chief who launched an investigation into Russia "collusion" and later falsely called the Hunter Biden laptop Russian disinformation, has joined WestExec, a secretive and elite consulting firm whose alumni work in senior Biden administration opinions.
Brennan lost his security clearance under President Trump because of his hysterical fulminations about the president's "treasonous" behavior such as ... doubting the assessments of the U.S. intelligence community in public. You know, the same intelligence community whose former members would later mislead the public about the Hunter Biden laptop.
Instead of being held accountable, with the laptop being confirmed in recent weeks by establishment media outlets, Brennan was rewarded -- and rewarded at the highest level, given a well-paid post in a consulting firm that is basically running the Biden administration (because Biden himself is incapable of it).
All of Washington corruption in one story: an insider making money after spreading lies to undermine a democratically-elected president with impunity.
There ought to be questions to the White House about this amazing travesty.
The story of Noah is familiar; the details, less so.
Noah is often seen as an ambivalent figure. He was righteous -- but only for his generation. What was his deficiency?
One answer suggests itself: knowing that the world was about to be flooded, he built an Ark for the animals and for his own family -- but did not try to save anyone else or to convince them to repent and change their ways (the prophet Jonah, later, would share that reluctance).
Abraham, later, would set himself apart by arguing with God -- with the Lord Himself! -- against the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, saying that they should be saved if there were enough righteous people to be found (there were not).
Still, Noah was good enough -- and sometimes, that really is sufficient to save the world. We don't need heroes every time -- just ordinary decency.
Hi all -- as I noted last month, I'm going to be closing down my Locals page, at least for tips and subscriptions -- I may keep the page up and the posts as well, but I'm no longer going to be accepting any kind of payment.
Look for cancelation in the very near future. Thank you for your support!
An interesting weekend -- one of the last of Daylight Savings Time -- in which there is much to celebrate, much to contemplate, and a bit to worry about.
The Gaza peace deal is shaky, but holding, after the living hostages returned; the shutdown is still going on, with no end in sight; the China trade war is heating up; and the confrontation with Venezuela continues to escalate.
The "No Kings" protest was a dud, despite the media's attempt to inflate it. What I find fascinating is that the Democrats have basically stolen the rhetoric and the imagery of the Tea Party protests, circa 2009. They claim they are defending the Constitution -- just like the Tea Party did.
On the one hand, this is good. How wonderful to have a political system in which both sides, bitterly opposed though they are, articulate differences through the Constitution -- and not, as in so many other countries, outside it.
On the other, this is sheer hypocrisy for the Democrats. Not only did they malign the Tea Party as ...
