Fun with Vivek, Scott and Turley Aug 3

Some recent tweets:


If gender dysphoria is a source of great suffering, then why on earth are we going out of our way to create more of it? Answer: it makes a small number of insecure progressive adults feel better about themselves. Gender dysphoria in kids is a mental health disorder. “Affirming” a kid’s confusion isn’t compassion. It’s cruelty. If you can’t get a tattoo by age 18, you shouldn’t be able to get puberty blockers, “gender-affirming” surgery, or chemical castration before age 18 either.


Remember how I always say the insurance business predicts the future? I can no longer buy professional liability insurance that covers my non-Dilbert work. It's a combination of me being cancelled and podcasts in general being hard to insure. Now if you sue me I have to kill you. But more to the point, it predicts political lawfare will take out all the influential and independent podcasters over time.


Law Professor Jonathan Turley is STUNNED by the Biden family influence peddling scheme following the Devon Archer testimony: "What we now know, quite frankly, is that the President has been lying...I think this is shaping up to be one of the greatest corruption scandals in the history of Washington, and that is saying a lot." Watch the normally understated Turley drop the Hammer on the Biden crime family


In D.C., influence-peddling is an art form and the Bidens are its Rembrandts. Demands are conveyed through as few people as possible. That is how it is done-not on a speakerphone in the middle of Cafe Milano while ordering more breadsticks.
"While Turley was referring to the Café Milano in jest, it turns out that Biden did not talk 'on speakerphone' to Hunter Biden’s associates at that particular restaurant, but he actually dined with them in person." breitbart.com/politics/2023/

Rather than allow a civil and informed debate, the IMF is accused to joining efforts to censor opposing views.


The Daily Beast is out with my column on the second federal indictment of Trump. Jack Smith followed Oscar Wilde's rule that the only way to be rid of temptation is to yield to it. The costs, however, to free speech could be high...

...Smith offers no limiting principles to his sweeping criminalization of political false statements. Despite Supreme Court holding that lies are protected speech, it would allow the government to arrest candidates who are refusing to accept “the truth.”

Special Counsel Jack Smith just issued the first criminal indictment of alleged disinformation in my view. If you take a red pen to all of the material presumptively protected by the First Amendment, you can reduce much of the indictment to haiku...

...I felt that the Mar-a-Lago indictment was strong. This is the inverse. This is closer to the case against former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell where Smith was overturned by an unanimous Supreme Court...


...The press conference held by Smith only deepened the unease for some of us. Smith railed against the January 6th riot and made it sound like he was indicting Trump on incitement. He didn't. The disconnect was glaring and concerning.



Another day of no reporting about all the entities who -- along with Joe Biden -- also wanted that Ukrainian prosecutor fired. Let's get them on record. Watch that part of the narrative dissolve.
My condolences to the half of the country that doesn’t know the biggest story in American politics — by far — broke today. This is what they prepped you for. It worked.

How many Vivek's are there? He seems to be everywhere while his competitors seem to be nowhere.

The reason the people don’t trust the government is that the government doesn’t trust the people. I’m here at the courthouse where Trump will be arraigned later today & I’m making a demand to our government: tell us the truth about what’s really driving this flurry of prosecutions, with trial dates set during the height of the upcoming election. That’s why I sued the DOJ this week to tell us exactly what Biden told Garland & what Garland told Jack Smith about the Trump indictments. That’s why I was in Nashville yesterday to demand the release of the transgender school shooter’s manifesto. That’s why I’ve pledged to release the state action files about what the government tells tech companies to suppress. We *can* handle the TRUTH.

This would be the most entertaining outcome, and also the best third-act of any movie. Ever.

Now imagine every potential juror has been brainwashed to believe the defendant is literally Hitler-like. Now put me in the jury pool. I will lie to your dumb ass all day long to get on that jury and take "Hitler" off the field. I hope you would too, Kyle. None of the normal rules apply to Trump.

The trope about “DC juries” has not really played out in practice. In the two most high-profile Jan. 6 cases so far, juries have acquitted on some of the most serious charges and delivered nuanced verdicts.
The most entertaining (and therefore most likely?) outcome of the Trump indictments would be putting the American election process on trial and showing the country we don't have a reliable system for knowing who won ANY election. How hard would it be to convince one or more jurors an election MIGHT have been rigged? I could convince all twelve in five minutes and I wouldn't need any charts or data to do it. Don't believe me? I'll demonstrate here. Fact: Any system with lots of participants, complexity, and high stakes will become corrupt over time. That is true of every observed human-made system since the beginning of recorded history. The only mystery is WHEN the corruption happens. For example, we know Congress is influenced by the military-industrial complex, and we know the financial markets are increasingly rigged for the big players. Every complex human-made system of high value becomes corrupt over time, no matter what kind of controls are in place. There has never been an exception. That's because bad actors have an incentive to peck away until they find a hole to crawl through. Our elections are not fully auditable. We don't see the computer code for the machines. We don't know if mail-in ballots were discarded before reaching the drop box. We don't know if any bad actors hacked any part of it. And we certainly don't know if there are innovative ways to rig an election that have not yet been discovered. We can't know for sure if any particular election -- such as 2020 -- was rigged. But we can know for sure the current design of our election systems guarantees rigging at some point. And we can know for sure that the voting results for 2020 violated historical patterns so drastically any reasonable person would have some questions. A reasonable person can believe the 2020 election was fair, but ask yourself how much of your opinion is influenced by your patriotism and wishful thinking about how things should be? Trusting an American election requires trust in the party that brought you the Russia Collusion Hoax, the Hunter laptop hoax, and about 20 others. Would that cast of characters hesitate to rig an election if they could get away with it? Remember, no one was arrested for any of the hoax behavior. President Trump has lived in the real world of business and politics for longer than most of you have been alive. He knows how the real world works. He has seen it from the inside. His instincts told him the election was gamed in some way. How much of your own money would you bet that Mr. Trump's instincts about the election are wrong? Would you bet everything you have? In order to find Mr. Trump guilty, you have to bet against his experience in spotting sketchy behavior, and you have to believe all 50 states ran clean elections in the context of no other complex, human-made system of high value ever being entirely clean. -- end --
After Biden bragged about getting the prosecutor fired, numerous ex-Obama officials went on TV to tell this lie: The prosecutor Biden had removed was not fighting corruption so they replaced him with someone solid. The MSM immediately parroted this lie until half of America believed it. Biden got the prosecutor fired because he WASN'T investigating companies like the one paying his son. 🤣😏 If you want to know the truth, take four minutes and watch this video. The documentary I took some of the clips from, done by a highly respected French investigative journalist, has been restricted on YouTube because it shows the truth.



The judge in the Trump J6 case - an Obama appointee and donor - worked at the same law firm as Hunter Biden. This is the level of contempt they have for the Constitution, the rule of law - and YOU.
The FBI has a ~35,842 person staff. 56% of the bureau that are professional bureaucrats should be fired immediately. Just 44% of FBI employees are special agents & intelligence analysts—these 15,770 specialists should be reassigned to serve under the narrow focus of other federal law enforcement agencies doing the same specialist work. Reassignments: US Marshals Service (821 specialists/analysts transferred) - Crimes against children Department of Commerce - Cyber crime > Bureau of Industry and Security (1860 specialists/analysts transferred) Department of Defense - Counter-intelligence > Defense Intelligence Agency (4,159 specialists/analysts transferred) Department of Homeland Security (4,663 specialists/analysts transferred) - National Security - Terrorism US Secret Service (856 specialists/analysts transferred) - Political corruption Department of Justice, within a specialized sub-agency rather than a sprawling investigative bureaucracy (2,555 specialists/analysts transferred) - Civil rights - Organized crime - Violent crime - Science & Technology, including crime laboratory analysis across agencies Department of the Treasury - White collar crime > Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (856 specialists/analysts transferred)


The corrupt DOJ is still sitting on a bogus seditious conspiracy charge against Trump. They’ll let that one fly after all the bank records and conversations between Burisma’s founder and Biden are released.

Merrick Garland is giving Hunter Biden immunity and locking up Joe Biden’s top political opponent. This is ELECTION INTERFERENCE!!! Congress has to act.
