This has reached a level of lame that is indescribable.  The dims meet this morning and their new talking point/accusation is that the President is involved in a "cover up".   Oh fuckin' please.

News that Attorney General William Barr appointed U.S. Attorney John Durham to examine the origins of the Trump–Russia collusion investigations has sent shockwaves across Washington.

Simultaneously, it was reported that Barr is working with the directors of the CIA, the FBI, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) to review the intelligence-gathering techniques used to investigate President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign.

The announcements are significant given the amount of information already known, much of which points to irregularities in the investigations and a severe bias.

Take, for example, text messages sent between FBI agent Peter Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page—both of whom were working on the counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign—in which Page asked Strzok: “He’s not ever going to become president, right? Right?!”

“No. No he won’t. We’ll stop it,” Strzok responded.

Here are 10 key questions that remain to be answered in the scandal that has become known as “Spygate”:

Ben makes a fool of himself, once again.

Ben Shapiro is the famous, fast-talking pundit who regularly ‘owns’ aggressive campus students with his quick wit and rapid repartee.

Alas, Shapiro isn’t so ‘crazy smart’ when he comes up against difficult questions from a real interviewer. Yesterday he just couldn’t cope with an interrogation from the BBC’s Andrew Neil. He decided that Neil must be a typical BBC leftist and had an epic tantrum.

The day that I told CBS News I wished to leave my job as investigative correspondent ahead of my contract, I didn’t give a reason. I didn’t see the point because the problem wasn’t fixable.

Nor was it isolated to CBS News.

My own take is that—as our industry has changed in ways that have become undeniable to most—I was a bit of the canary in the coal mine. By that, I mean I believe I was among the first to really pay attention to the increasingly effective operations to shape and censor news—the movements to establish narratives rather than follow facts—and to see the growing influence of smear operations, political interests, and corporate interests on the news.

It’s not that I’m smarter than my peers, and I’m surely far less smart than many, but my particular brand of off-narrative reporting happened to draw the intense attention of the smear operators and propagandists, so I began to study it.

A case in point: the smear that was promulgated when I left CBS. It was often incorrectly reported that I told CBS management I was quitting due to liberal media bias. That false story turned out to be convenient for both political sides, and largely survives today. It simply wasn’t rooted in fact. And I don’t recall reporters even asking me whether it was true. Once a few articles reported that it was, others simply copied the claim and adopted it as if established fact, eventually without attribution. Now there would be no point in trying to clarify it. After all, Wikipedia says it’s true. No going back from that.

CAUTION:  Satire


CHICAGO, IL — New airplane liveries aren’t the only change coming to United Airlines.  In the midst of a vast airline pilot shortage, United Airlines spokeswoman Janine Davidson announced earlier today that the airline is considering not offering new pilot positions to former Navy and Marine Aviators.  This comes in the wake of last week’s incident involving United Flight 2921 from Orlando to Milwaukee that left two passengers hospitalized and dozens of others stunned. The United Airlines Boeing 737 was piloted by two former Naval Aviators—an F/A-18C and E-2D pilot.

“The plane came down so hard, I soiled myself,” reported passenger Dale Gordons of Lake Okeechobee, FL.  United Flight Attendant Stacie Sommers, working aboard Flt 2921, recounts:  “There was a 27 year old college student in 12B who was crying hysterically.  I went over to help and noticed that his comfort gerbil was crushed under the weight of the obese man next to him when the plane touched down.  The other flight attendant rushed to the flight deck to see what happened and as the door opened, the pilots were high-fiving and making ‘one-wire’ jokes.”

United Airlines Chief Pilot, Jack McCann, understands that Naval Aviators fly jets that regularly touch down in excess of 800 feet per minute aboard their aircraft carriers.  “These rates of descent are just too hard on our passengers and too hard on our planes.  We try to train these tendencies out of them, but it’s a culture thing.  They’re brainwashed and it’s hard to teach old dogs new tricks.”
This seems to be the final straw to break the camel’s back.  Last month, United Airlines maintenance workers filed a formal grievance against seven pilots, all former Naval Aviators, who were caught opening panels and pre-flight inspecting their airplanes before their flights.  “It’s a clear gesture of distrust,” stated United Airlines Aircraft Mechanic Jason Dant.  Passengers are also becoming worried about safety practices when they see pilots clambering over their airplanes and inspecting them.
Shannon Kelsey, of Laguna Beach, CA doesn’t feel comfortable seeing airline pilots concerned over the plane’s status.  “It’s like seeing the barista at Starbucks sip your drink before serving it to you to make sure it’s actually a Java Frappuccino with vegan almond milk.  It makes me uncomfortable and a little offended.”
Former Marine Aviator Mike Highway just wants to make sure his aircraft is safe.  “I’m not sure what these freakin’ snowflakes are whining about.  How would you like to fly in a plane that’s probably been inspected by some 12-year old that just graduated from Embry Riddle, makes $9 an hour and lives with his mom?  I’m not signing for that s**t without double checking it.  I didn’t do it in the Fleet, and I ain’t doing that s**t now.”

As far as recruiting former military aviators, Davidson says she is encouraging more Air Force pilots to apply.  “Former Air Force pilots have been shown to gently guide their aircraft through the sky. They use the automated flight control assistance capabilities on our planes more regularly, and aren’t accustomed to performing hard carrier landings.  Air Force pilots also don’t perform pre-flight inspections and tend to be more team-oriented.  We prefer a trusting relationship between members of the United Airlines Team and show our valued passengers that our pilots are just as comfortable boarding alongside them from the airport jet-bridge.”

Fleet Aviation Gazette is awaiting comment from the Pilot’s Union at this time.

I actually find this amusing.  And it's even funnier considering its from a far left publication.
