Exactly.

It was pure cringe to read The Atlantic's piece by Tim Alberta on Chris Licht's efforts to reform CNN and again make it "the most trusted name in news." Licht seemed to struggle to get across to his employees a basic concept. Maybe he didn't understand it himself.

The Media Writ Large constantly violates a test they should run on themselves for EVERY political story: if the story was about the party opposite, would we report it the same way? If Tony Bobulinski's story was about Don Jr instead of Hunter, would any news outlet not interview him? Or if PDJT was caught on a hot mic telling the president of Russia to pass a message on to Putin, he'll have more flexibility after the election, would journalists laugh off a "any hot mics in here?" deflection, and ask no questions about it?

There are dozens of examples, but almost everyone here knows the pattern- no need for more.

A little digression, but I can't help it. Trump's AG Bill Barr knew about this 1023 form that recently surfaced, and knew what was in it. He handed it off to a US Attorney in DE, and then, what- forgot about it? Another question State Media won't ask Barr when given the opportunity.

Apparently, after he turned over his evidence to the FBI and they promised to investigate, his lawyer told him to let the FBI do their job and stay low. But when a couple of years later it became clear they are sitting on it without doing anything, that's when he went to Tucker. That's how I understand it. Here is his story, posted on FB in Oct 2020

They are still helping RFK, Jr. by running from debates. Kennedy keeps getting around the "gatekeepers of the news."

Good question. Since he announced his campaign for president, his "15 minutes" have grown to about 2 hours ... and still counting. I don't think they can stop him from reaching tens of millions of potential voters. If, by some miracle, this debate did happen, I bet it would have 40 million viewers. That prospect must terrify the Deep State.

Hotez and his kind think that we are not smart enough to understand the details of their arguments against the mountain of data that Kennedy has from many highly respected researchers... when we decide their arguments are BS it's just that we are too un-educated to get the nuance of their argements...

A recent case that made national headlines was a 6 yo who obtained his mother’s gun, brought it to school and shot his teacher. The mother is now being charged with (are you ready) lying on an ATF form to obtain a firearm. She was using Mary Jane at the time. She’s facing years in prison.

It is common practice in Ukraine (and many other countries) for corporations to hire well-connected, politically powerful people in order to control government probes/regulation that would affect business. That is exactly what Burisma did. They paid Hunter millions in order for Joe Biden, Obama's point man on Ukraine, to get the prosecutor looking into Burisma corruption fired. And "son of a bitch", that is exactly what Joe did.

He held up $1 billion in US loan guarantees until the prosecutor was fired.

In 2017, Joe Biden claimed over $11 million in earnings. That money was funneled through 2 S corps CelticCapri and Giocoppa. They claim that those millions were from book deals and speaking gigs but the tax returns for those corporations haven't been made public. We don't know where the millions actually came from. They could well have come from Burisma. If it seems a little strange for a senile, mumbling former VP to be getting millions for speaking engagements and book deals, I'd say you're on track.

The real question that everyone needs to be grappling with at this point is what the real implications are of the fact that we have a fully compromised US President. Is that the reason why we are paying tens of billions in US taxpayer money - not just for the war - but for the salaries and pensions of the Ukraine government? Plenty of Ukrainians are dying but plenty are getting filthy rich too.

I don't disagree with you, it's supremely troubling to have a compromised US President. What's equally troubling is the way federal law enforcement seems to cover for him.

A president corrupt the way Biden apparently is is far more dangerous than playing favorites in throwing around government money. The biography of Mao Tse Tung has multiple accounts of Stalin secretly funneling $ to the Chinese Communist Party in his quest to turn China communist. The money was appropriated specifically for the purpose of dividing various groups and classes of people. Does that sound familiar? in 2008, a nation 13% black elected a black man as president. Does that sound like a racist country? In the last couple of years we've become divided into racial, gender, and other divisions, including people who think it's ok to pleasure themselves by having sex with children, not to mention illegals streaming over our borders. I can't prove it, but it certainly seems to follow of pattern of communists to divide an enemy they want to subjugate.

The Biden family getting $ from the Chinese is a small part of it. It's an indisputable fact, the CCP has perfectly legal vehicles for enriching people in return for damaging our country.

There was some rough justice in the Mao biography, where the Chinese Communists tortured and killed the people who helped them in the early stages. But that didn't help all the others who suffered when the Communists assumed total control.

Having federal law enforcement that covers for the President (of their own party) is one thing. Having federal law enforcement that targets and persecutes their political opponents is quite another. It would be one thing if the FBI always helped out the President under which they serve. It wouldn't be ideal but it would be understandable. But to have them cover for the fully corrupt Democrat President while they target the Republican - and they targeted Trump even when he was the President under which they served - is really frightening. They are acting like the Stasi. It even came out recently that they are keeping files on MOST American citizens - just like the Stasi did in East Germany. Their only goal is to keep the tyrants in power. They have no fidelity to any of the values of America.

Your comment makes me think of Yuri Bezmenov, the Soviet defector, who described how the Marxists take over a nation. One of his warnings was to the leftists who aid the Communists in the takeover. Once the Communists come to power, all those people who helped them in early stages, the leftists, the professors, etc. are a threat to the Marxists who just gained power. So the Marxists line them up and execute them. There is no gratitude. The first people to get shot are the people who were most instrumental in bringing the Communists to power because they are the biggest threat.

Yep. From Chang/Halliday's Mao the Unknown Story:

"... these two [bandits who had helped Mao when his army was starving] met their deaths a year later in Mar 1930 - at the hands of Communists who had returned to the area. Moscow had ordered the CCP to double-cross those it termed as bandits - in effect to use them and kill them."

I think a miniseries on Mao's life would be interesting, informative, and would get a lot of viewers. But it would would never be made- too un-PC. Remakes of comic book super-heroes are better.

It would be great if more Americans had a clue about the real history of Mao and Stalin. That might awaken people to just how dangerous these tyrants are and cause people to have a little pause about the path we seem to be on right now.

Oh Alex. Once again, on things not COVID, the bias goes deep. You just can’t help yourself. But you will never be a truly good journalist until you can let go of the way you want things to be and see them for what they are. Trump is a boorish, obnoxious narcissist, sure, but 8 YEARS of Trump investigations have come up with some weak process/document handling charges, which a cynic might note are very vanilla compared to what HRC was ‘investigated’ and cleared of. Meanwhile, Biden is currently a senile placeholder for some kind of government crime syndicate/money laundering operation, formerly a VP, who was almost certainly taking money both personally and through his disgusting son and the govt is actively burying it. ‘Murky’ is such a delightfully disingenuous way to put it. I’m sure Hunter is actually a talented artist and his skill set is a solid add for foreign corporations looking to break into US markets. Give me a break. And yet, I’d bet money that you’d still say Trumps re-election would have been worse than what we have now. Wake. Up. This is getting old. It’s also probably just the tip of the iceberg.

As a foreigner, I have been curious why some Americans think Democrats are so much better than Republicans and asked a friend of mine, a professor of philosophy. He said: "Republicans are uncool." I find it shocking that you would support wars for the sake of being cool.

Expand full comment

What is meant by "being cool" is being socially acceptable. In many (most?) social circles, it is just fine to be openly supportive of the Democrats. Nobody is going to call you a racist or ostracize you. But talk openly of being a Republican in those settings and you risk losing all social status.

I think this is part of human nature. About 15 years ago I was supporting (and still am) a wonderful nonprofit organization that was not receiving the financial support it needed to fulfill its mission. I was talking to the organization's president one day and she was bemoaning their inability to solve the problem. I told her the solution was a campaign to attract some of the town's wealthy, well known influencers (the cool kids) to the organization, and their peers and wealthy wannabees would follow. She took my advice and it worked.

Another great article, and again I'm slightly flabbergasted by the inability...or unwillingness to make that leap that Joe Biden is corrupt and its very obvious he has used his position to coerce or extort money from other countries. I know your utter disdain for Trump, but good lord, he never gets this type of grace. I believe that the corrupt deep state hates Trump so much because he doesn't need the deep state to make money and is actually less corrupt than our entire government. I do not trust life long ( LITERALLY) politicians! We need someone who has actually earned money legally and knows what it's like to be the " governed".

Our country is sick. Biden isn't calling any shots, he's an old narcissistic man, and is being puppeted by unelected left wing 30 somethings. I'm disgusted by the state of our country.

I do highly value your reporting. There is very little journalism in our country today, another huge negative. Maybe try to connect the dots a little more. 20 LLCs, grand kids getting paid.. come on.

Why not consider Alex is being cautious? He's already been on the receiving end of being called a source of disinformation and the consequences that came with that. No need to put another target on one's back. He is pointing out information that has come to light. There are things alleged still, not yet proven. I would say many people actually aware of this information, and sadly there are far too many who I think remain willfully unaware, have a strong suspicion that the Bidens have done the things that have been alleged and uncovered to date. The bank records and suspicious bank activities are pointing to something that has been going on. The question is who will conduct the investigation into the alleged wrongdoing and who will prosecute if charges are warranted? The FBI and DOJ have not demonstrated a willingness to actually do their job in this matter.

I'm not giving Alex any credit for being cautious. He did good work when Covid arose and I became one his early SS subscribers. After he built some credibility, he turned his skills into a flamethrower to scorch ivermectin, Dr. Robert Malone, and the (to him) tin-hat notion the 2020 election was stolen.

On ivermectin, he had an opportunity to debate Pierre Kory, an ivermectin advocate.

I don't know what the agreement was for the debate- rules of engagement, time commitments and all. Kory appeared, spoke for 25 minutes or so, then Alex came on. There was a discussion lasting no more than 15 minutes, and Alex announced he needed to leave for some other important business.

https://rairfoundation.com/dr-pierre-kory-schools-alex-berenson-on-the-effectiveness-of-ivermectin/

After he had staked so much of his reputational capital on denouncing ivermectin, he had other important matters to tend to? Looked to me like he put his tail between his legs and slunk away. Contrary to what the title says, I don't think Kory schooled Berenson. AFAIR, there was no real discussion of areas of disagreement. More like exchange of pleasantries. "How ya doin? Good. And you? Well, I gotta run. See ya."

I took at least a year off as a paid subscriber. Now I'm back. Alex does great work on Covid, and I value his reporting on that subject. I've written before, he's a combination of Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci. Gates thinks b/c he made a lot of money selling software, he has a talent for, well, everything. Alex was right when a lot of people were wrong about covid, and he thinks that extends infallibly to other areas. And Fauci is never wrong about anything. If you don't believe it, ask him.

Again, Alex is super when he stays in his lane. With some people you just have to take the bad with the good.

The laptop is real. Everybody knows it. It proves that Joe Biden is bought and paid for. Now it’s time to ask the hard questions: What would a bought president be doing? Cutting our energy independence? Hurting Americans by cutting off trade via sanctions? Pushing us into a war we can’t possibly win that would likely lead to the rise of China as the world’s superpower? Devaluing the dollar and gutting the middle class?

Maybe the better question is: If Biden’s goal was to wreck the economy and enable the rise of China, would he be doing anything at all differently?

And since I wrote that, Biden has done literally nothing to suggest he's NOT in the pocket of China.
